III. Read the passage and answer the questions below.
Two popular traditions at Christmas are decorating the home and singing Christmas carols.
The home is the center of the Christmas celebration. Inside, an evergreen tree is usually placed in a corner of the living room. Children and their parents wrap strings of colorful lights around the tree. They hang ornaments on the branches. A star or angel often crowns the top. Carefully-wrapped gifts are placed beneath. Outside, families often string lights around windows and wind lights around trees and shrubs in the front yard. As
families decorate their homes, they often put on a Christmas record. Almost every family has at least one favorite Christmas album or compact disc. Schoolchildren of all ages perform Christmas concerts for their parents and communities. On Christmas` Eve, family members gather around the Christmas tree to sing traditional songs such as Jingle bells and Silent Night and then give presents to each ether.
