Choose the correct variant:

A lot of people gather in Times Square, and watch the "Big Apple" fall in this city. The "Big Apple" isn't a real apple. It's a moving picture of an apple on the side of one building in Times Square. Every New Year's Eve during the last few seconds before midnight it starts to "fall" down the building, and when it gets to the bottom it's the start of the New Year. (MADRID; NEW YORK; MOSCOW.)

  Housewives start cooking special food for New Year's Day and all the members of the family do a big cleaning up in this country. The idea is to get rid of the dirt of the past year, and welcome the new. On the television or radio you can hear 108 bells. Thel08th bell rings just a second before the midnight. The people say: "Happy New Year!" People eat the special food and drink rice wine during the meal.

(JAPAN; ITALY; CANADA.)

  People visit their friends houses just after midnight on New Year's night. The first person who comes to your house brings you luck. At midnight when the clock begins to strike 12, the head of the family goes to the en­trance door, opens it wide and holds it until the last stroke. Then he shuts the door. He has let the old year out and let the New Year in. People call New Year's eve "Hogmanay".

(THE USA; SCOTLAND; CHINA.)
