In America, the best-known (11) to be on
December thirty-first is Times Square in New York City. Hundreds of thousands of
people gather in the cold. They (12) together and wait for
midnight. It feels like a huge party. The people count down the (13)
seconds. "Ten... nine...eight..." All eyes watch a huge glass ball as
it (14) a pole on top of a tall building. Someone in the
crowd says it looks like a bright piece of snow. Someone else says it looks like
thousands of stars. This is a (15) Times Square
tradition.
