【正文】 ome when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more plicated than that. This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has bee very important for me. I do not care about New Year39。s resolutions (愿望)—living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don39。t feel the need to plan for change: I live for change. New Year39。s Eve has bee my time to reconnect with the friends that makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to bee like a little family again. This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the sameI felt at home again and we felt like a family again. A lot of people feel that New Year39。s Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the New Year39。s kiss and resolutions create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living. I think those people are missing the point. If Christmas is about family, why can39。t New Year be about friends?（1）What does the underlined word It in Paragraph I probably mean? A.FamilyB.Living abroadC.HomeD.Staying with friends（2）Why doesn39。t the author care about New Year39。s resolutions? A.New Year39。s resolutions cannot be reached.B.His lifestyle makes him always ready for change.C.It39。s meaningless to make any big changes in life.D.Making New Year39。s resolutions creates much pressure.（3）What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona?
