文本内容：

The Chinese Lunar New Year marks the arrival of spring. This year's celebration began on February 10. It kicked off the Year of the Dragon. A dragon has special meaning in China. It's the only mythical animal of the Chinese zodiac.

知识要点总结：

1.lunar表示“月亮的”，源自于罗马神话中的月亮女神，名叫“卢娜”（ Luna ），从卢娜的名字 Luna 中产生了词根 lun ，表示月亮。词根词缀： -lun- 月亮 + -ar 形容词词尾

2.kick off可以用来表示任何活动的开始。

3.dragon源自希腊语 drakon

4.zodiac （黄道十二宫）包括：白羊座、金牛座、双子座、巨蟹座、狮子座、处女座、天秤座、天蝎座、射手座（人马座）、摩羯座、水瓶座和双鱼座。
