When I spent Christmas away from home in Europe for the first time, I was only 14 and it was certainly terrible. I am now married and live in the US. So there is little possibility for me to go home for Christmas. Now I am able to get through Christmas with some moments of joy:

First, you are advised to search your area for stores that carry items from your home country or town. Buy food, candles and some other things that mean something to you.

Hold on to the traditions from your home that you think are important even if other people think they are stupid. But keep in mind to be open for new traditions from wherever you might be, because those traditions are as important to those people around you as yours are to you. For me that includes celebrating Christmas on the 24th.

Call, write Christmas cards, buy gifts and mail them to loved ones, just as if you were there. If you try to be as if the holiday doesn't exist, you are just going to make it worse.

Introduce your traditions to your loved ones, especially your kids. It will only enrich their celebration of the holiday to have some special traditions in their home. Little by little it will become their tradition and it’s fun for them to try something new.

Food is one of the most important factors in any kind of tradition. Find the recipe (食譜) of that cake your grandmother used and make it your tradition to bake that particular cake.

Call up your parents and get them to send you some of your favorite childhood ornaments (裝飾品) for your tree.

Pay attention to new traditions, talk to your family about which ones you want to make your own and stick with them.

If you are far away from home, Christmas can never be the same as you experienced it before, but it is important to remember these traditions while enjoying the new ones.

【5】balance

【解析】文章大意：這篇短文主要介紹了如果你遠(yuǎn)離家鄉(xiāng)，圣誕節(jié)就不可能和你以前過的一樣，但重要的是要記住舊的欣賞新的。保持一個開放的心態(tài)，找到一個舊的和新的傳統(tǒng)之間的妥協(xié)。怎樣過才具有家鄉(xiāng)味，本文提供了一些切實可行的建議。

【1】根據(jù)文中的句子I am now married and live in the US. So there is little possibility for me to go home for Christmas.可知，作者幾乎不可能回家過圣誕節(jié)，“不可能”impossible，故答案填impossible。

【2】根據(jù)所對應(yīng)的后面方框的內(nèi)容可知，這些都是在講述圣誕節(jié)令人愉快的事情，所以此處應(yīng)是說圣誕節(jié)的愉快時刻，“令人愉快的”pleasant，故答案填pleasant。

【3】根據(jù)文中的句子Buy food, candles and some other things that mean something to you.可知，為圣誕節(jié)準(zhǔn)備食物、蠟燭，這些都是一些有意義的東西，“有意義的”meaningful，故答案填meaningful。

【4】根據(jù)文中的句子Hold on to the traditions from your home that you think are important even if other people think they are stupid.可知，一些傳統(tǒng)的東西可能是你家里的，也可能是你自己的，“傳統(tǒng)的”traditional，故答案填traditional。

【5】根據(jù)文中的句子If you are far away from home, Christmas can never be the same as you experienced it before, but it is important to remember these traditions while enjoying the new ones. 可知，是要在新舊傳統(tǒng)之間找到平衡，“平衡”balance，故答案填balance。
