In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopitaA coin is put into the cake, which signifies(预示)success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role.In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests.In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了食物在交际方面起着重要作用，共享食物可以 增强人们彼此间的团结与信任，某些特殊食物也是节日的象征。21.
