On New Year’s Day, many people eat special food for good luck.

In Spain(西班牙) and some Latin American countries(拉丁美洲國家),people eat twelve grapes (葡萄)at midnight(半夜) on New Year’s Eve—One grape for good luck in each month of the new year.

Chinese people eat dumplings. Some are made with a coin inside. Everyone tries to find the coin for good luck and money in the new year. Of course(當(dāng)然) they don’t eat the coin(硬幣).
