+ 加入清单when we think of halloween, we think of "trick or treat", pumpkins, jack o lanterns, vampires and haunted houses.
but do you know the origin of halloween? why does it fall on 31 october? what kind of festival is it? why is it so creepy?
halloween dates back to a celtic festival called samhain. november 1 is the new year of the celts, who lived in europe more than a thousand years ago. this is the day which marked the end of summer and harvest.
the celts believed that on the night of october 31, ghosts of the dead would return to earth. the celts celebrated samhain by dressing up in costumes with animal heads and having bonfires.
many celts settled in britain and ireland, where the festival became popular. those who moved to america took the tradition with them.
nowadays, most people celebrate halloween but only for fun. they are not worried about ghosts.
kids in america will dress up as devils or angels and will go from house to house calling "trick or treat", playing mischievous tricks and getting sweets.
americans spend more money on halloween than christmas! in xx, more than hk$45 billion was spent on halloween. and hk$15 billion of that was spent on candy alone!!!
kids in britain also dress up at halloween. they visit houses, sing songs or tell a joke to get sweets. many go to halloween parties and play games like "ducking for apples". you must pick up an apple in water but you can only use your mouth. try it!

+ 加入清单My sister was fond of traveling. Ever since graduating, she had been
determined to organize a trip to an old temple. Since transporting fare was
expensive, she decided to use a bicycle to cycle there not caring about the
disadvantages. Her stubborn attitude was always her shortcoming. Once she made
up her mind to do something, no one could persuade her to change her mind.
Finally, we gave in as usual though we preferred to take a train. After we
prepared everything, including the schedule, reliable weather forecast and the
insurance, we began our trip.
Our journey was along a river flowing from a high altitude. Our pace was
slow because the river frequently had many sharp bends through deep valleys,
where the water seemed to boil. Just as I recorded in my journal, it was really
a hard journey. But we also enjoyed great views. One night, I put my head on my
pillow--a parcel of wool coats, and lay beneath the stars. When the flame in
front of our cave went out at midnight, I found the sky so beautiful!

+ 加入清单Those who live in cities around the world are likely going to have similar
experiences about living and the associated challenges regardless of their
location on the globe. Most of these challenges revolve around stress which
studies have shown is a part of living. Regardless of what you do and your

unnecessary.

+ 加入清单When talk about America, most people will think of the great buildings and
the lively parties, because the Hollywood movies present us the strongest
America. Whats more, the media always report how powerful America is and the
foreign media criticize China all the time, so people lose faith about our
country. Actually, every country is not perfect. Recently, I have learned a lot
about America, which helped me make the better judgment. A video was made by a
Chinese student who had studied in America for 6 years. He told people that some
part of America was like the big countryside and not every place looked like the
movies presented in the screen. He came to the conclusion that perfect country
did not exist. So we need to take the right attitude to our country, and dont
lose faith when we see the bad sides.

+ 加入清单China has a long history of more than 5,000 years, so the variety of
culture has been preserved. These meaningful cultures are treated as our
national treasure. In order to remember them, the government has named the
official holiday. Tomb-sweeping Day is one of the meaningful festivals. People
have days’ off every year and the families will get together, sweeping their
ancestors’ tombs. People believe that they do this can bring good luck, because
their ancestors will bless them. Some people question the meaning of this
festival, because they think people are superstitious. As for me, I think this
day teaches people to in honor of their ancestors and respect the culture. It is
not something about superstition, but about showing respect to the culture. We
need to pass on our culture from generations, or we will lose our national
treasure.

hard names. It is not as bad as you are.
It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in
paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.
You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a
poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as
brightly as from the rich mans abode; the snow melts before its door as early
in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and
have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.

看,顾墨轩走出来了,一开始,顾墨轩走得还挺顺畅得,后来,绕过了二大组,接着,顾墨轩直接撞上了老师用得讲桌上了,之后原地转了好几圈才找到正确得方向,真是好不狼狈,接着顾墨轩来到一大组,在一大组和二大组来面有两个同学为顾墨轩设置了一个“机关”,幸好顾墨轩很明智,没有被这个“机关”给“害”到,顺利的来到第三大组,可是就在这一瞬间,顾墨轩走错方向了,有绕回了二大组,结果有撞上了讲桌,顾墨轩经过又一次的折磨,终于把教室打开了。
