Most of us eat birthday cakes and get presents from relatives（亲戚）and friends on that day. Birthday cakes are an important part of birthday celebrations. In many centuries, people put candles on birthday cakes. Do you know why there are candles on birthday cakes? This tradition dates back to（追溯到）ancient Greece. The Greeks used to put candles on a cake to show respect（尊敬）for the moon goddess, Artemis. They baked round cakes to represent（代表）the moon and added the candles to represent the moonlight. You may think the smoke from the candle is bad for our health. But ancient people believed that it carried their wishes to gods. So they would make a wish and then blow out the candles.

If the person can blow out all the candles in one breath, the wish will come true, and the person will have good luck all the year. 71.__________ are an important part of birthday celebrations. 72.
