一天，是母亲节。汤姆在家里想：送什么礼物给母亲呢?想着想着，他迷迷糊糊的睡着了。

汤姆醒来一看，发现自己在一艘纸船上，一个小男孩对另外一个小男孩说："我们把他送去远航吧!"另外一个小男孩说："好啊好啊!"汤姆想跑，但是小男孩已经把纸船放进河里了，汤姆只能随着纸船漂流的方向漂流而去......

纸船漂流着，突然，一个大浪打过来，纸船翻了，汤姆也掉入河中。汤姆大喊："救命啊!救命啊!"他费了九牛二虎之力才游到一块石头边，他爬上去，伸伸筋骨，顺便晒一下自己的衣服。在天空里，一只小麻雀正在天地之间自由自在的飞翔，突然，他看见了汤姆以为是虫子，他想：哈哈!今晚有晚餐吃了!于是，小麻雀向汤姆飞去......

汤姆正准备回家，小麻雀飞过来把他叼到了他的鸟巢里，小麻雀定晴一看，呀!竟然不是虫子。小麻雀一阵失落，他细细观察汤姆，发现汤姆十分疲惫。他问："你为什么怎么疲惫呀?"汤姆回答："嗨!今天我被一个小男孩抓住，他把我放进纸船里让我去漂流。一个大浪打过来，纸船翻了，我也掉入河中。然后，我就被你抓住了。"小麻雀说："你真可怜，你有什么愿望，我尽力帮你实现。"汤姆说："真的吗?"小麻雀点点头。汤姆回答："今天，是母亲节。我想送给母亲一个礼物。可是我不懂送什么礼物啊。"小麻雀说："我懂一个地方，那里有许多的花，我们去采点给你母亲吧!""好啊!"汤姆回答。

他们来到了那个地方，采了许多许多的花。小麻雀载着汤姆和花飞到了汤姆家。汤姆跌跌撞撞的捧着花对母亲说："祝母亲节日快乐!"母亲激动得热泪盈眶，感动地说："谢谢你，汤姆!你真是个好孩子!"汤姆听了，笑了。躲在窗外的小麻雀，也笑了。

Halloween means Hallows Evening. It is the evening before All Hallows Day (now called All SaintsDay), a Christian holiday, celebrated on the November 1st.

万圣节的晚上是圣徒。这是前一天晚上所有圣徒日(现在称为万圣节)，一个基督教节日，在十一月一日庆祝。

History traces Halloween back to the ancient religion of the Celtics. The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish, Welsh and Scottish people. In the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31st. On the November 1st, Celtic peoples celebrated the festival of Samhain,which marked the beginning of winter and the Celtic New Year. Celts thought the division between the natural world and the supernatural world became very thin and all time and space was abruptly suspended on October 31st, and then the spirits of the died would come back and move freely looking for living bodies to possess.

万圣节前夜的历史可以追溯到凯尔特人的古老的信仰。凯尔特人是现在的爱尔兰人的祖先，威尔士人和苏格兰人。在公元前第五世纪，爱尔兰的凯尔特人，夏天在十月三十一日正式结束。在十一月一日，凯尔特人庆祝Samhain节，这标志着冬天的开始和凯尔特人的新年。凯尔特人认为自然与超自然世界的划分变得非常薄，时间和空间会突然暂停十月三十一日，于是死者的灵魂会回来和自由移动，寻找生活的机构拥有。

Thanksgiving is an important American holiday. The fourth Thursday of November each year, the American family are going to have a great Thanksgiving feast. The most common type of traditional foods have Turkey, pumpkin pie and Indian pudding cornmeal.

Thanksgiving originated from an early settler in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Known as the pilgrims when these immigrants in the UK, because of their religious reform of the church of England is not completely, and the king and the church of England repression of their political and religious persecution, so the pilgrims from the church of England, go to the Netherlands, then decided to move to the other side of the Atlantic that desolate land, hope to be able to freely according to their wishes religious life. First governor William brad therefore suggested to set up a holiday blessing, celebrate the harvest, thank you for the gift of god.

At the same time, also want to borrow the Thanksgiving strengthening concord between whites and indians. In late Thursday in November 1621, the pilgrims and massa soder 90 indians gathered, celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day in American history. Male pilgrims go out hunting, capture the Turkey, women in the home made from corn, pumpkin, sweet potatoes and fruit such as delicacies. In this way, whites and indians around the bonfire, chating at, also singing and dancing, the whole celebration lasted three days. Moved to the United States in the north American continent europeans largely followed a in the form of the first Thanksgiving celebrations.

In 1789, the first American President Washington, November 26, for the first unified national Thanksgiving celebration. However, for a long time, every state holiday date stipulate according to their own situation. In 1941, congress passed a bill with the approval of President Roosevelt and proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day throughout the country.

感恩节是美国人的一个重要节日。每年11月的第四个星期四，美国家庭都要举行丰盛的感恩宴。最常见的传统食品有火鸡、南瓜馅饼和玉米面做的印第安布丁。

感恩节起源于马萨诸塞普利茅斯的早期移民。这些移民在英国本土时被称为清教徒，因为他们对英国教会的宗教改革不彻底感到不满，以及英王及英国教会对他们的政治镇压和宗教迫害，所以这些清教徒脱离英国教会，远走荷兰，后来决定迁居到大西洋彼岸那片荒无人烟的土地上，希望能按照自己的意愿信教自由地生活。首任总督威廉·布莱德福为此建议设立一个节日，庆祝丰收，感谢上帝的恩赐。

同时，还想借感恩节加强白人与印第安人的和睦关系。1621年11月下旬的星期四，清教徒们和马萨索德带来的90名印第安人欢聚一堂，庆祝美国历史上第一个感恩节。男性清教徒外出打猎、捕捉火鸡，女人们则在家里用玉米、南瓜、红薯和果子等做成美味佳肴。就这样，白人和印第安人围着篝火，边吃边聊，还载歌载舞，整个庆祝活动持续了三天。移居美国的欧洲人基本上沿袭了北美大陆上的第一次感恩节庆祝活动的形式。

1789年，美国第一任总统华盛顿正式规定，11月26日为第一个全国统一庆祝的感恩节。但是，在相当长一段时间里，各州都视自己的情况规定节日日期。1941年，美国国会经罗斯福总统批准通过一项法案，宣布每年11月的第四个星期四为全国的感恩节。

Among the outstanding figures of Chinese history, famous either for their

intelligence or treachery(背叛,变节), Cao Cao is one of the foremost.

One hot day, he marched out his troops under a burning sun in a mountainous

area. Bewilderingly(令人困惑地) he lost the way. The journey was long and the sun was

scorching. After their fruitless and tiresome march, all voiced their great

dissatisfaction with the leadership of Cao Cao. They bitterly complained of

their great thirst. The antagonism(对抗) of the soldiers was growing fast and they

were on the verge of staging a mutiny(兵变). The subordinate officers were

helpless to cope with the situation.

Cao Cao, however, in the nick of time cleverly and treacherously gave

orders to his troops to march to the nearby plum trees for a rest and announced

that soldiers would be allowed to eat the juicy sour(酸的) fruit as much as they

desired.

At the thought of the sour fruit the soldiers complaint of great thirst as

well as the antagonistic feeling were quickly forgotten.

Based on the story the later generation formed the proverb "to quench ones

thirst by looking up at plums", to illustrate a case where one takes comfort in

believing that they have already attained that which was expected or

desired.

香港的教育无疑是成功的，他教导了孩子潜移默化的尊重与理解，老师言传身教，确实令人赞善。

香港的国际学校不会特别开设课程教导学生社交礼仪，全凭日常校园生活、校长老师以身作则，教会他们一些社交规则。学校也没有开设勿歧视残障及低智商人士的课程，因为不需要，同学们根本没这个观念。

儿子念小学二年级时，一日放学回家吃点心，我跟他闲聊，问他学校当天有没有特别的事情发生，他闲闲地说：“没什么，只是汤姆的眼珠子掉了出来，我们替他拾回，他在饮水机洗了洗，放回去了，但没消毒，我担心会有细菌。”

我不太相信自己的耳朵，又不想显得大惊小怪，问：“是不是妈妈听错了?你是说汤姆的眼球吗?”

“是，他的眼球不知为什么老是掉下来，可能要换一颗大一点的。”儿子就像在说汤姆的校服衬衣需要换一件大一点的般轻松平常。

我细问汤姆的眼球掉下来的原因，儿子理所当然地说：“他的左眼失去了眼球，医生替他放一个假的上去，很真的，看起来跟我们没分别。但没实际用途，他的左眼仍是看不到东西。”

同学们对于汤姆瞎了一只眼睛的事实很接受，不会歧视或取笑他，跟他相处与其他同学无异。他的眼球随时会掉下来，也不把他看成怪物，大家就只管替他拾回眼球，像拾回一个乒乓球，没有惊恐尖叫。

另一小学同学若翰生日，在他家大厦的花园开生日派对，我陪儿子前往。一班同学都到了，唯独不见若翰，我又借此机会教导儿子准时的重要性，作为主人家也迟到，太不礼貌，令客人感觉不被尊重。儿子代为解释：“若翰向来比较慢，我们一班同学都理解，所以不会介意。”

看到若翰拖着妈妈的手，一脸纯真的笑容迎面走过来，我感到十分惭愧，想马上收回刚才的评语，原来若翰是唐氏综合征患者。同学们并没有认为他迟钝、智商低，而是完全接受他“比较慢”，不觉得他异于常人。若翰跟同学们相处融洽，大家没有特别迁就他、呵护他，他玩游戏输了同样要受罚。

我在旁边看着，很赞赏学校实行人性化的融合教育，每班录取两三位智商有问题或身体残障的同学，贯彻一视同仁、伤健一家的精神，小朋友自幼从现实生活中懂得人人平等，学校和家长无须特别严训孩子不要歧视残障人士。有时在街上会听到大人阻止子女用好奇的眼光看失明、四肢不全、兔唇、唐氏综合征人士，又或当众对子女说：“你不应这样盯着人家，他会很尴尬，他已经很不幸，我们应同情他们、帮助他们。”以为这叫家教，其实是好心做坏事，在伤口上撒盐，要教应该早在家里教了。

国际学校不单教学问，也教正确观念，用的不是书本和考试，是在日常生活中潜移默化。

我曾就此题目，在香港报章专栏狠批本地学校拒收残障及低智商学童，认为教育部门负有责任。文章见报后，当时的教育局副局长特地约我茶聚，解释教育局一直鼓励敦促本地学校收取少数残障及低智商学童，校方坚拒，理直气壮：“这样会导致学校被标签为‘特殊学校’，连累其他正常学生被视作‘特殊’，引来家长群起投诉，损害学校声誉，影响收生率。”

有些学校则以老师人手紧绌、校务繁重、腾不出人手为由，拒收身体或智商有问题的学童，或者辩称资源短缺、设施不足。教育局提出愿意增加拨款，资助学校增聘人手及设施，学校迫不得已答允，附带条件是只收哑童入读，因为他们不会制造噪声滋扰其他人，且容易看管。

我听得火起。香港鼓励融合教育，将残障儿童安排入读普通学校，但完全基于信任机制，法律无明文规定学校有义务和责任取录残障儿，结果教育局有心无力，只能倚赖学校的社会良心和责任感。

信仰独一化，遵行古兰化，形象圣贤化，宣传网络化，原则坚定化，生活伊教化，两世并重化。下面是小编整理的穆斯林回族开斋节祝福短语英文版，欢迎大家参考!

【穆斯林回族开斋节祝福短语英文版】

Assalamu alaikum. As we mark the end of Ramadan, the most holy month of fasting and prayer for Muslims around the world, I would like to wish all Muslims a peaceful and joyous Eid al-Fitr.

大家好。在世界各地穆斯林最神圣的守斋和祈祷之月——莱麦丹结束之际，我谨祝愿所有的穆斯林开斋节吉祥、快乐。

I had the honor of hosting an iftar at the State Department during Ramadan, and last week, while I was in Pakistan, I had the opportunity to join an iftar at a women’s university in Islamabad.

我很荣幸曾在莱麦丹期间在国务院主持过一次开斋晚宴。上个星期当我访问巴基斯坦时，我有机会在伊斯兰堡的一所女子大学参加了一次开斋晚宴。

As I have always found over many years of visiting and working with Muslim communities around the world, I left each one of these experiences with a renewed belief that our shared values are the best tools for confronting our many challenges. I am confident that those challenges are no match for the strength of the human spirit, our capacity for compassion, for our commitment to charity, all of which are emphasized and celebrated during this blessed time.

多年以来，我访问过世界各地的穆斯林社区并与他们一起合作。这些经历使我一次又一次体会到，我们的共同价值观是应对众多挑战的最好工具。我坚信，人们在祈福之时强调和弘扬的人类精神力量、我们关爱的能力、我们对仁慈的承诺完全能够战胜这些挑战。

As Muslims in the United States and around the world gather for Eid celebrations according to their rich and diverse traditions, I encourage you to continue celebrating the shared values of family, community, and peace – not just in this holy hour, but throughout the year.

当美国和世界各地的穆斯林按照自己丰富多样的传统共庆开斋节之时，我鼓励大家继续弘扬关于家庭、社区及和平的共同价值观，不仅在这神圣的时刻，而且经年不辍。

Ramadan reminds us that practicing our diverse faiths – whether yours or mine or someone else’s – is not just about our personal relationship with God. It also must be about our relationships with each other.

莱麦丹让我们记住，我们信奉各种不同的信仰——不管是你们的，还是我的，或者其他人的——不仅仅关系到我们各自与神明的关系，而且必须关系到我们彼此之间的关系。

In times of change and uncertainty around the world, the celebration of these common values unites us in our humanity, and it reminds us of the value of cooperation and tolerance. Understanding, if we have the courage to summon it, is a powerful key that can unlock so many solutions.

在全世界充满变化和不确定的时代，弘扬这些共同的价值观使我们在人性的精神下团结在一起，并提醒我们合作与宽容的重要性。理解，如果我们有勇气呼唤理解，就能成为一把开启众多解决方案的强有力的钥匙。

On behalf of the State Department, I wish you and all Muslims around the world Eid Mubarak.

我谨代表国务院祝各位和全世界穆斯林开斋节吉祥。

Michelle and I send our warmest greetings to Muslims celebrating Eid al-Fitr here in the United States and around the world. During the past month, Muslims have honored their faith through prayer and service, fasting and time spent with loved ones. At this year’s White House Iftar, I was proud to spend time with some of the many American Muslims whose contributions enrich our democracy and strengthen our economy. Many of us have had the opportunity to break fast with our Muslim friends and colleagues—a tradition that reminds us to be grateful for our blessings and to show compassion to the less fortunate among us, including millions of Syrians who spent Ramadan displaced from their homes, their families, and their loved ones. To help the many Syrians in need this Eid al-Fitr, the United States is providing an additional $195 million in food aid and other humanitarian aid, bringing our humanitarian contribution to the Syrian people to over $1 billion since the crisis began. For millions of Americans, Eid is part of a great tapestry of America’s many traditions, and I wish all Muslims a blessed and joyful celebration. Eid Mubarak.

我和米歇尔向美国及全世界欢庆开斋节的穆斯林人士致以最诚挚的问候。在过去的一个月里，穆斯林通过礼拜、服务、把斋以及同家人共度时光，彰显了他们的信仰。在白宫今年举办的开斋晚宴上，我有幸同众多美国穆斯林中的一部分人士欢聚一堂，他们的贡献增进了我国的民主、增强了我国的经济。我们很多人都有机会同我们的穆斯林朋友和同事共进开斋饭——这个传统让我们谨记要对我们所得的恩惠心存感激，并向我们中间境遇较差的人表达关爱，其中包括千百万叙利亚人民，他们在莱麦丹斋月流离失所，与家人和亲朋好友离散。在开斋节之际，为了帮助众多有困难的叙利亚人，美国将追加提供1.95亿美元食品援助及其他人道主义援助，使我们自危机爆发以来向叙利亚人民提供的人道主义援助总额超过10亿美元。对千百万美国人而言，开斋节是美国极其丰富多彩的诸多传统的一部分，我祝愿所有穆斯林欢度一个祥和快乐的节日。开斋节吉祥欢乐。

Dear Headmaster,

I am the minister of students life in the Student Union. On behalf of all

the students, I am writing to you to give our opinions about the canteen.

Our canteen has something satisfactory and something unsatisfactory as

well. To our satisfaction, many kinds of the food are supplied to us. Besides

this, the food is cheap and tastes good. We all enjoy the food. And the

surroundings in the canteen have also been improved. But the quantity of a

helping they give is not enough. The seats are not enough as well.Some students

have no seats when eating.

Finally we advise them to improve the quality of the food and their

service. We will feel very happy if these problems can be solved.

Yours,

____

Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact date of Christs birth, but most Christians observe Christmas on December 25. On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees. The word Christmas comes from Cristes maesse, an early English phrase that means Mass of Christ. The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in the New Testament.

The history of Christmas dates back over 4000 years. Many of our Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals(parades) with floats, carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the early Mesopotamians.

Many of these traditions began with the Mesopotamian celebration of New Years. The Mesopotamians believed in many gods, and as their chief god-Marduk. Each year as winter arrived it was believed that Marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos. To assist Marduk in his struggle the Mesopotamians held a festival for the New Year. This was Zagmuk, the New Years festival that lasted for 12 days.

The Persians and the Babylonians celebrated a similar festival called the Sacaea. Part of that celebration included the exchanging of places, the slaves would become the masters and the masters were to obey. The ancient Greeks held a festival similar to that of the Zagmuk/Sacaea festivals to assist their god Kronos who would battle the god Zeus and his Titans.

The Romans celebrated their god Saturn. Their festival was called Saturnalia which began the middle of December and ended January 1st. With cries of "Jo Saturnalia!" the celebration would include masquerades in the streets, big festive meals, visiting friends, and the exchange of good-luck gifts called Strenae (lucky fruits). The Romans decked their halls with garlands of laurel and green trees lit with candles. Again the masters and slaves would exchange places.

"Jo Saturnalia!" was a fun and festive time for the Romans, but the Christians thought it an abomination to honor the pagan god. The early Christians wanted to keep the birthday of their Christ child a solemn and religious holiday, not one of cheer and merriment as was the pagan Saturnalia.

Some legends claim that the Christian "Christmas" celebration was invented to compete against the pagan celebrations of December. The 25th was not only sacred to the Romans but also the Persians whose religion Mithraism was one of Christianitys main rivals at that time. The Church eventually was successful in taking the merriment, lights, and gifts from the Saturanilia festival and bringing them to the celebration of Christmas.

The exact day of the Christ childs birth has never been pinpointed. Traditions say that it has been celebrated since the year 98 AD. In 137 AD the Bishop of Rome ordered the birthday of the Christ Child celebrated as a solemn feast. In 350 AD another Bishop of Rome, Julius I, choose December 25th as the observance of Christmas.

The birth of Jesus had a story: In Nazareth, a city of Galilee. The virgins name was Mary was betrothed to Joseph. Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. While he thought about these things, Gabriel, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take Mary as wife. And Mary will bring forth a Son, and he shall call his name, Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.

Before Jesus births, Joseph and Mary came to Quirnius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up out of Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And that, Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Jesus, is on 25th, December every year. But nobody knows the actual birthday of Jesus. And the Christmas has become popular when Christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth Century.

The custom of giving gifts to relatives and friends on a special day in winter probably began in ancient Rome and northern Europe. In these regions, people gave each other small presents as part of their year-end celebrations.

In the 1800s, two more Christmas customs became popular--decorating Christmas trees and sending Christmas cards to relatives and friends. Many well-known Christmas carols, including Silent Night" and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," were composed during this period. In the United States and other countries, Santa Claus replaced Saint Nicholas as the symbol of gift giving.

The word Xmas is sometimes used instead of Christmas. This tradition began in the early Christian church. In Greek, X is the first letter of Christs name. It was frequently used as a holy symbol.

“圣诞节”这个名称是“基督弥撒”的缩写。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。耶诞节是一个宗教节。我们把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝，因而又名耶诞节。这一天，世界所有的基督教会都举行特别的礼拜仪式。但是有很多圣诞节的欢庆活动和宗教并无半点关联。交换礼物，寄圣诞卡，这都使圣诞节成为一个普天同庆的日子。

圣诞节是基督教世界最大的节日。4世纪初，1月6日是罗马帝国东部各教会纪念耶稣降生和受洗的双重节日、称为“主显节”Epiphany，亦称“显现节”即上帝通过耶稣向世人显示自己。当时只有耶路撒冷的教会例外，那里只纪念耶稣的诞生而不纪念耶稣的受洗。

后来历史学家们在罗马基督徒习用的日历中发现公元 354年12月25日页内记录着：“基督降生在犹大的伯利恒。”经过研究，一般认为12月25日作为圣诞节可能开始于公元336年的罗马教会。12月25日原来是波斯太阳神(即光明之神)密特拉(Mithra)的诞辰，是一个异教徒节日，同时太阳神也是罗马国教众神之一。这一天又是罗马历书的冬至节，崇拜太阳神的异教徒都把这一天当作春天的希望，万物复苏的开始。可能由于这个原因，罗马教会才选择这一天作为圣诞节。这是教会初期力图把异教徒的风俗习惯基督教化的措施之一。后来，虽然大多数教会都接受12月25日为圣诞节，但又因为各地教会使用的历书不同，具体日期不能统一，于是就把12月24日到第二年的1月6日定为圣诞节节期(Christmas Tide)，各地教会可以根据当地具体情况在这段节期之内庆祝圣诞节。

圣诞节介绍：

December 25th is Christmas Day. On Christmas Day, many people will have big parties. They like eating turkey(火鸡), fruits and drinking some juice for supper. After supper, many people will go out for shopping and walking (walk) with their children. There are a lot of special things: Christmas trees, socks, Christmas card and some presents. So in Christmas Day, all the families are very happy.

相应的翻译：

12月25日是圣诞节，在这天，许多人将会举办盛大的聚会。他们喜欢吃火鸡、水果，晚上会喝一些果汁。在晚餐后，许多人会出去逛街购物，顺便带着他们的孩子一起散步。这一天有许多特别的事物：圣诞树、圣诞袜、圣诞贺卡和一些圣诞礼物。因为这样，在圣诞节这天，所有的家庭都十分欢乐。

Christmas tree is one of the old traditionnal festival. Usually the people make around the Christmas an evergreen plant,as pine tree , with Christmas lamp and the colored widget decoration in the room or in the outdoors, at last,put an angel or the star on the top of the tree.

圣诞树(Christmas tree)是圣诞节庆祝中最有名的传统之一。通常人们在圣诞前后把一棵常绿植物如松树弄进屋里或者在户外，并用圣诞灯和彩色的装饰物装饰。并把一个天使或星星放在树的顶上。

The modern Christmas tree stems from Germany. The German in every year December 24, namely Adam and the Eve festival, arranges a fir tree (tree of the Garden of Eden)at home, hangs the thin biscuit in above, (mark which the symbolic sacramental wafer Christian makes reparations).In the modern times,small sweet cake in place of thin biscuit,and also often add candles which on symbolize of Christ.In addition, the indoor is also equipped with the Christmas tower, which is a lignin triangle structure, and has many small frame standards to lay aside the Christ statue. The tower body plays the part of by the evergreen branches and leaves, the candle and a star. To the 16th century, the Christmas tower and Garden of Eden tree merge to a Christmas tree.

近代圣诞树起源于德国。德国人于每年12月24日，即亚当和夏娃节，在家里布置一株枞树(伊甸园之树)，将薄饼乾挂在上面，象徵圣饼(基督徒赎罪的标记)。近代改用各式小甜饼代替圣饼，还常加上象徵基督的蜡烛。此外，室内还设有圣诞塔，是一木质的三角形结构，上有许多小架格放置基督雕像，塔身饰以常青树枝叶、蜡烛和一颗星。到16世纪，圣诞塔和伊甸园树合并为圣诞树。

This kind of custom was quite popular in the German lutherans follower during 18th century, but was not popular in the nation until the 19th century, which becames the German solid tradition.In the early 19th century, the Christmas tree passed to Britain. In the mid-19th century, Queen Victorias husband, German emperors son Albert promoted the popularization. The Victoria type Christmas tree equipped by the candle, the candy and the variety cakes and pastries, hangs with the ribbon and the paper chain on the branch.In the early of the 17th century,the christmas tree is brought to north america by the German,and be widely popular in the 19th century,so as in Austria, Switzerland, Poland and Holland . In China and Japan, the Christmas tree was spread in the 19 and 20th century by the American missionaries, multi-decorations by riot of color artificial flower.

18世纪，这种风俗在德国信义宗信徒中颇流行，但直至19世纪才流行全国，成为德国根深柢固的传统。19世纪初，圣诞树传到英国;19世纪中叶维多利亚女王的丈夫、德国皇子艾伯特加以推广普及。维多利亚式圣诞树饰以蜡烛、糖果和花色糕点，用丝带和纸链吊挂在树枝上。早在17世纪圣诞树即由德国移民带到北美，至19世纪广为流行。在奥地利、瑞士、波兰和荷兰也颇流行。在中国和日本，圣诞树于19及20世纪由美国传教士传入，多饰以彩色缤纷的纸花。

In the Western country, Christmas day is also a family reunification and jubilations holiday, usually will arrange a Christmas tree at home.In the West, when whether the Christian, during the Christmas day,everyone wuold prepare a Christmas tree to increases the holiday the happy atmosphere. The Christmas tree is generally makes with the cedar cypress and evergreen tree which symbolic that life exists forever.

Night of the Christmas, the people gather round the Christmas tree to sing dance, is heartily happy.

在西方国家里，圣诞节也是一个家庭团聚和喜庆的节日，通常会在家里陈设一棵圣诞树。在西方，不论是否基督徒，过圣诞节时都要准备一棵圣诞树，以增加节日的欢乐气氛。圣诞树一般是用杉柏之类的常绿树做成，象征生命长存。树上装饰着各种灯烛、彩花、玩具、星星，挂上各种圣诞礼物。圣诞之夜，人们围着圣诞树唱歌跳舞，尽情欢乐。

After a weeks insistence, I finally finished reading "the old man and the sea" this foreign name. The book left a deep impression on me, I cant forget it. This novel mainly wrote one old man fishing in the sea alone. He caught a big fish, the fish head and upper body tied to the edge of the boat. But he met the shark, the old man pulled out all the stops and shark struggle, sharks eat fish can eat to all live to 800 pounds.

Look at the book, my heart cant be calm once in a long time, the common and respectable old man made me deeply understood: "perchance life should not be any difficulties, should do their best efforts and hardships do indomitable struggle of life.

Santiago ALGOL grandpas stubborn spirit really makes me admire. Whenever I read about grandpa during a fierce battle with the sharks, I feel I do not know want nervous or worry about grandpa, grandpa, however, is always the spirit of optimism to face some great difficulties. See here, I couldnt help thinking of yourself, when I met with some difficulties, I always feel very frustrated, feel very tired, really want to escape from reality. Look at somebody elses Santiago ALGOL grandpa, undeterred by whether encounter any difficulty, but bravely to face!

So it should be human, not a death mask, to have confidence in myself. Even if we encounter difficulties, should not let it to beat, should bravely to destroy it.

I believe that with my efforts, I will become like Santiago ALGOL grandpa so brave, so brave to fight.

经过一星期的坚持，我终于读完了《老人与海》这本外国名着。这本书给我留下了深刻印象，使我无法忘记它。这本小说主要写了一位老人独自在海上打鱼。他钓到了一条大鱼，把鱼头和上半身绑在小船边上。但是他遇上了鲨鱼，老人使出了浑身解数和鲨鱼搏斗，鲨鱼把能吃到的鱼肉都吃了却还有800磅左右。

看了这本书，我的心久久不能平静，这位普通而又可敬的老人使我深深的懂得了：“做人不应该被任何困难所压服，应该尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。

桑提阿果爷爷的硬骨头精神实在令我佩服。每当我读到爷爷与鲨鱼进行激烈的搏斗时，我的心情不知是要紧张还是要为爷爷担心，可是爷爷，总是保持着乐观的精神去面对一些极大的困难。看到这里，我不由得想起了自己，每当我遇到了一些困难时，总是觉得很不顺心，觉得很烦，很想逃避现实。再看看人家桑提阿果爷爷，不管遇到任何困难也毫不退缩，而是勇敢地去面对!

做人也应该这样，不要一副贪生怕死的样子，要对自己有信心。即使我们遇到重重困难，也绝不应该让它给打倒，应该勇敢地去消灭它。

我相信，在我的努力下，我一定会变得像桑提阿果爷爷那样勇敢，那样勇于拼搏。

JUPITER AND THE MONKEY

Jupiter issued a proclamation to all the beasts，and offered a prize to the one who，in his judgment，produced the most beautiful offspring.Among the rest came the Monkey,carrying a baby monkey in her arms，a hairless，flat-nosed little fright.When they saw it，the gods all burst into peal on peal of laughter；but the Monkey hugged her little one to her,and said，“Jupiter may give the prize to whomsoever he likes：but I shall always think my baby the most beautiful of them all.”

Dear Tom,

Im just writing to let you know that were all well, and I hope you are,

too. Unfortunately, Ive got some rather bad news for you: Im afraid I made a

bit of a mess of Johns car. Anyway, heres what happened.

We were on our way to Carols after a long party, and I suppose it must

have been about eleven o’clock. Well, the last few miles back home were really

dark and deserted. I now realize I was probably going a bit too fast for a

country lane because, although the road was fairly straight, I drove up onto the

curb and went into a tree.

Of course, John was absolutely furious and started shouting at me and

cursing. After we d argued for a few moments, we decided to look at the damage,

and he calmed down a bit. Well, we found we could move the car, but the wing was

caught on the wheel, so we couldnt drive it. I tried to pull the wing clear,

but I didnt succeed.

Anyway, John went off to phone for a breakdown lorry, but while he was

away, I had another go at the wing and this time succeeded in pulling it right

off. I threw it onto the back seat, and by that time John got back and we were

ready to go?so we didnt need the breakdown lorry at all. John has more or less

forgiven me now, but he was very angry with me for a few days. I suppose I was a

bit careless.

Well, thats all for now. Next time I write I hope Ill have better news

for you.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Chen

自从汤姆变成了国王的宠物之后，获得了个多的宠爱，更多人的尊敬，还经历了许多有趣的故事，作文 汤姆的两个好朋友。

有一天，汤姆正要到父母的小屋去探望。半路中到小男孩家去歇歇脚，小男孩的父母很热情地招待了，小男孩看到家里有客人，便很高兴地跑过去跟汤姆做朋友，那个小男孩很热情，便带汤姆去他的游戏室，汤姆一眼就看到了锡兵和纸做的小姑娘在对看，但为什么没有说话呢？汤姆很疑惑，他上到那个纸做的宫殿，问锡兵说：“锡兵哥哥，你为什么没跟那位纸做的姐姐对话呢？还看着她！”“因为他跟我一样，只有一条腿，他需要我的保护！”锡兵坚定地回答。

汤姆对纸做的小姑娘说：“姐姐，你为什么也要看那位哥哥呢？”小姑娘回答说：“因为我看那位锡兵是一个善良、坚定、尽责尽职的好锡兵。”汤姆明白了他们俩为什么一直对看而不说话了。汤姆清了清嗓子，大声说：“锡兵哥哥，舞蹈家姐姐，我们做好朋友吧！这样，锡兵哥哥又可以保护姐姐，姐姐又可以被哥哥保护，你们同意吗？”“嗯！”他们俩异口同声地说。“太好了。”小男孩看到我们三个做好朋友，便把纸做的小姑娘和锡兵送给了汤姆。

从此，他们三个成了最要好的好朋友，过上了幸福、开心的生活！

Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American of the national Holidays in the United States and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.

In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, they sailed to America on the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring.

All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. Finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed . Years later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today.

The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years.

Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.

Thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year s bounty and reverently ask for continued blessings.

感恩节是美国国定假日中最地道、最美国式的节日,美国和最最早的历史紧密相连。

在1620年,殖民者或朝圣者,五月的花他们航行到美国,寻求宗教自由的地方。之后他们在海上颠簸折腾了两个落终于在酷寒的十一月里,现在的普利茅斯,马萨诸塞。在他们的第一个冬天,半数以上的移民死于饥饿和传染病。活下来的人在第一个春季开始播种。

整个夏天他们都热切地等待着丰收的焦虑,知道他们的生活和未来的殖民地的存在与否都将取决于即将到来的收成。最后生成的区域产量丰富超出预期。因此我们决定向耶和华的感恩节是固定的。多年以后,美国总统宣布每年十一月的第四个星期四为感恩节。感恩节庆祝活动便定在这一天,直到如今。

感恩节的庆祝形式多年来从未改变。未来几个月大家庭晚餐计划。在餐桌上,人们会发现苹果、桔子、栗子、胡桃和葡萄。会有葡萄干布丁、肉馅饼、其他种类的食物和蔓越莓汁和南瓜。最好的和最具吸引力的是烤火鸡和南瓜馅饼。他们一直是最传统和最喜欢的食物在感恩节。

每个人都同意晚餐必须建立在烤火鸡塞满了面包酱吸收烤肉美味的果汁。但随着烹饪随家庭和地区一个生命,是不容易得到共识的精确的填料为皇家鸟。

今天是感恩节,在每一个意义上说,一个国家的年度假期的各种信仰和背景的美国人加入来表达他们的感谢今年的赏金,虔诚地要求继续祝福。

Thank you. Thank you very much, everyone. Sorry to keep you waiting. Complicated business, complicated. Thank you very much.

Ive just received a call from secretary Clinton. She congratulated us. It’s about us. On our victory, and I congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard-fought campaign.

I mean she fought very hard. Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country.

I mean that very sincerely. Now it is timefor America to bind the wounds of division, have to get together, to all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation I say it is time for us to come together as one united people.

It is time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all of Americans, and this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, Im reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country. As Ive said from the beginning, ours was not a campaign but rather an incredible and great movement, made up of millions of hard-working men and women who love their country and want a better, brighter future for themselves and for theirfamily.

It is a movement comprised of Americans from all races, religions, backgrounds and beliefs, who want and expect our government to serve the people, and serve the people it will.

Working together we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the American dream. Ive spent my entire life in business, looking at the untapped potential in projects and in people all over the world.

That is now what I want to do for ourcountry. Tremendous potential. Ive gotten to know our country so well. Tremendous potential. It is going to be a beautiful thing. Every single American will have the opportunity to realize his or her fullest potential. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals. Were going to rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none, and we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it. We will also finally take care of our great veterans who have been so loyal, and Ivegotten to know so many over this 18-month journey.

The time Ive spent with them during this campaign has been among my greatest honors.

Our veterans are incredible people. We willembark upon a project of national growth and renewal. I will harness the creative talents of our people and we will call upon the best and brightest to leverage their tremendous talent for the benefit of all. It is going to happen. We have a great economic plan. We will double our growth and have the strongest economy anywhere in the world. At the same time we will get along with all other nations, willing to get along with us. We will be. We will have great relationships. We expect to have great, great relationships. No dream is too big, no challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach.

America will no longer settle for anything less than the best. We must reclaim our countrys destiny and dream big and bold and daring. We have to do that. Were going to dream of things for our country, and beautiful things and successful things once again.

I want to tell the world community that while we will always put Americas interests first, we will deal fairly witheveryone, with everyone.

All people and all other nations. We will seek common ground, not hostility, partnership, not conflict. And now I would like to take this moment to thank some of the people who really helped me with this, what they are calling tonight a very, very historic victory.

First I want to thank my parents, who I know are looking down on me right now. Great people. Ive learned so much from them. They were wonderful in every regard. They are truly great parents. I also want to thank my sisters, Marianne and Elizabeth who are here with us tonight. Where are they? Theyre here someplace. Theyre very shy actually.

And my brother Robert, my great friend.Where is Robert? Where is Robert?

My brother Robert, and they should be on this stage but thats okay. Theyre great.

And also my late brother Fred, great guy. Fantastic guy. Fantastic family. I was very lucky.

Great brothers, sisters, great, unbelievable parents. To Melania and Don and Ivanka and Eric and Tiffany and Barron, I love you and I thank you, and especially for putting up with all ofthose hours. This was tough.

This was tough. This political stuff is nasty and it is tough. So I want to thank my family very much. Really fantastic. Thank you all. Thank you all. Lara, unbelievable job. Unbelievable. Vanessa, thank you. Thank you very much. What a great group.

Youve all given me such incredible support, and I will tell you that we have a large group of people. You know, they kept saying we have a small staff. Not so small. Look at all of the people that we have. Look at all of these people.

And Kellyanne and Chris and Rudy and Steve and David. We have got tremendously talented people up here, and I want to tell you its been very, very special.

I want to give a very special thanks to our former mayor, Rudy Giuliani. Hes unbelievable. Unbelievable. He traveled with us and he went through meetings, and Rudy never changes. Where is Rudy. Whereis he?

[Chanting "Rudy"]

Gov. Chris Christie, folks, wasunbelievable. Thank you, Chris. The first man, first senator, first major,major politician — let me tell you, he is highly respected in Washington because he is as smart as you get, senator Jeff sessions. Where is Jeff? Agreat man. Another great man, very tough competitor. He was not easy. He was not easy. Who is that? Is that the mayor that showed up? Is that Rudy?

Up here. Really a friend to me, but Illtell you, I got to know him as a competitor because he was one of the folks that was negotiating to go against those Democrats, Dr. Ben Carson. Wheresbeen? Where is Ben? By the way, Mike Huckabee is here someplace, and he is fantastic. Mike and his familiar bring Sarah, thank you very much. Gen. Mike Flynn. Where is Mike? And Gen. Kellogg. We have over 200 generals and admirals that have endorsed our campaign and there are special people. We have 22 congressional medal of honor people. A very special person who, believe me, Iread reports that I wasnt getting along with him. I never had a bad second with him. Hes an unbelievable star. He is -- thats right, how did you possibly guess? Let me tell you about Reince. Ive said Reince. I know it. I know it. Look at all of those people over there. I know it, Reince is a superstar. I said, they cant call you a superstar, Reince, unless we win it. Like secretariat. He would not have that bust at the track at Belmont.

Reince is really a star and he is the hardest working guy and in a certain way I did this. Reince, come up here. Get over here, Reince.

Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. Its about time you did this right. My god. Nah, come here. Say something.

[Reince Priebus: Ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the united States, Donald Trump! Thank you. Its been anhonor. God bless. Thank God.]

Amazing guy. Our partnership with the RNC was so important to the success and what weve done, so I also have to say,Ive gotten to know some incredible people.

The Secret Service people. Theyre tough and theyre smart and theyre sharp and I dont want to mess around with them, I can tell you. And when I want to go and wave to a big group of people and they rip me down and put me back down in the seat, but they are fantastic people so I want to thank the Secret Service.

And law enforcement in New York City, theyre here tonight. These are spectacular people, sometimes underappreciated unfortunately, we appreciate them. So its been what they call an historic event, but to be really historic, we have to do a great job and I promise you that I will not let you down. We will do a great job. We will do a great job. I look very much forward to being your president and hopefully at the end of two years or three years or four years or maybe even eight years you will say so many of you worked so hard for us, you will say that — you will say that—that was something that you were — really were— very proud to do and I can — thank you very much—and I can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning. Were going to get to work immediately for the American people and were going to be doing a job that hopefully you will be so proud of your president. You will be so proud. Again, its my honor.

Its an amazing evening. Its been an amazing two-year period and I love this country. Thank you.

Thank you very much. Thank you to Mike Pence.
