Halloween

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

万圣节前夕

万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。

每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”，意思也就是“杰克的灯”。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。

不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。

Recently, I read the attempt to write a novel: "root bird". I read a book, suddenly suspicious: root bird is a name, or a bird? I dont understand and cant wait mood, open the book...

Ah! I found the answer: a bird is a boy, his home in chrysanthemum slope. One day he was out hunting alone, accidentally shot by a white eagle. White eagle leg have a piece of paper, it read: "my name is purple smoke, when I was in flowers fell into the valley, come and save me!" That night, the root bird nook near the valley with his father after nothing, duty-bound to root bird on the road to the west to find purple smoke. On the way, root bird met board Mr Kim. Board Mr Kims family got a super surprise, all the family man, at the age of 18, then suddenly cant dream. Mr Kim to follow a dream, walk to the west. Sheet metal and root birds are all in order to reach own purpose, continuous efforts, even if, on wheels, so be it.

Board Mr Kim arrived at warbler shop, his life is about to come to an end. His deathbed, he told the root bird: to walk to the west, to persevere, be sure to find the grand canyon. Root bird has experienced all sorts of difficulties, these difficulties. Finally, he arrived at the full of the grand canyon of the lilies, see white eagle flying in the air...

Root bird is a boy who dared to pursue their dreams! After reading this book, let me know the person on the way to pursue your dream, will encounter various difficulties, frustration, confusion, but must not give up. Like root birds, although the money lost, but he still go forward; Although being hired, he was still trying to come up with various way; Despite his illness had a high fever, but he still wont stop down, clinging to go forward!

In fact, persistence is a kind of power, but also the steps of success and victory! I think it is the same and we are learning, no matter how far from ideal, as long as our goal towards their own unremitting efforts, is likely to get the final success.

最近，我读了曹文轩写的一本小说：《根鸟》。我一看书名，顿时起了疑心：根鸟是一个人名，还是一只鸟?我怀着不解而迫不及待的心情，翻开了书……

呀!我找到了答案：根鸟是个男孩，他家在菊坡。有一天他独自外出打猎的时候，无意中射到了一只白鹰。白鹰的腿上有一张纸条，上面写着：“我叫紫烟，我在采花的时候掉进了峡谷里，快来救救我呀!”当晚，根鸟与父亲寻遍了附近的山谷毫无收获后，根鸟义不容辞地踏上了西寻紫烟之路。途中，根鸟结识了板金先生。板金先生的家族得了一种超级奇怪的毛病，凡是这个家族的男子，一到十八岁，便突然不能做梦。板金先生为了追随梦，一直向西走。板金和根鸟都是为了达到自己的目的，不断努力，就算上刀山、下火海，也在所不惜。

板金先生到达莺店时，他的人生就要走到尽头了。临终时，他告诉根鸟：要一直往西走，要坚持不懈，一定要找到那个大峡谷。根鸟经历了各种困难，这些困难磨练了他。终于，他到达了开满百合花的大峡谷，看见白色的鹰在空中飞翔……

根鸟是一个敢于追求梦想的男孩!读完这部书，让我知道了人在追求自己梦想的道路上，会遇到各种困难、挫折、迷惑，但一定不能放弃。要像根鸟一样：尽管钱丢了，但他还是勇往直前;虽然被人雇佣了，但他还是努力想出各种办法;尽管生病发高烧，但他仍不会停歇下来，执着地往前走!

其实，坚持是一种力量，更是获得成功与胜利的脚步!我想这和我们学习是一样的，不管理想有多远，只要我们向着自己的目标坚持不懈的努力，才有可能获得最后的成功。

光棍节是流传于年轻人中的娱乐性节日，以庆祝自己仍是单身一族为傲。同时，这一天也是众多为单身男女脱离光身状态的交友聚会活动举办的日子，因此又同时是“脱光节”。

光棍节的来历有多种说法，广为认可的是起源于南大。1993年，南京大学“名草无主”寝室四个大四学生每晚举行“卧谈”，一段时间卧谈的主题都是讨论如何摆脱光棍状态，卧谈中创想出了以即将到来的11月11日作为“光棍节”来组织活动，从此，“光棍节”逐渐发展成为南京高校以至各地大学里的一种校园趣味文化。随着一批批学子告别校园，这个娱乐性节日被渐渐带入社会，并随着成年单身男女群体的庞大，以及群体活动和网络媒体的传播，光棍节在社会流行开来，并由光棍节发展出了“脱光节”。光棍节来源的其它说法或系后来编造。

Protecting the Wild Animals

Last week, I saw a very impressive documentary about panda. A professor studied panda in the early 1980s went to the wild life and kept trace of wild giant panda for many years. As a result, he found that it was human being that made these lovely animals die out. At that time, many people believed that giant panda became less because of the low rate of newborn babies. But it was not true. People cut trees for making profit at that time. Panda lose homeland and they lacked of food. Thanks to these valuable data, the government took the policy to protect the animals. So today, the number of giant panda is increasing. People realize the importance of protecting the environment and it is the best way to protect wild animals, they are the indispensable part of the nature.

上周，我看了一部令人印象非常深刻的关于熊猫的纪录片。一位教授在20年代80年代早期就开始研究熊猫，他到野外生活，多年寻找野生大熊猫的踪迹。结果，他发现，正是人类，让这些可爱的动物面临灭绝。当时，许多人认为，大熊猫变少是因为新生儿的低出生率。这是不正确。人们为了利益砍伐树木，熊猫失去了家园，也没有食物吃。多亏了这些有价值的数据，政府采取了政策去保护它们。所以现在，大熊猫的数量正在增加。人们意识到保护环境的重要性，这也是最好的方法来保护野生动物，因为它们是大自然不可或缺的一部分。

Humans and animals to see, sold at the same time, made from animal skins coat... But these people ever think, if you are an animal, are hunted by humans, what would you think?

Now, some animals have almost extinct, take the crocodile, for instance, although it is very fierce, but humans are more fierce. And in the eyes of human beings, crocodile skin can be made into the luggage, handbags, wallets, shoes and other goods. Because of some organs from animals has the prominent economic value, thus become a subject of human plunder use, become the main factor of extinct animals.

虽然人们现在都说要保护动物，但是还有很多人执迷不悟，继续猎杀动物，导致许多动物都走向了灭绝的道路。同时人类还拿动物来观赏、卖钱，用兽皮做大衣……但这些人有没有想过，如果你是一只动物，却遭到了人类的猎杀，你会怎么想?有些人说：“我又不是动物。”但是现在人类大量捕杀动物，动物会愿意吗?不，永远不会。有些人虽然知道怎样去爱护动物，可是他们只会假惺惺地去教育别人，而自己却照样破坏环境，猎杀动物，照样兴致勃勃的品尝动物鲜美的肉。就拿我们身边的小狗来说吧，虽然不是国家一二级别的珍贵动物，但也是我们身边的好伙伴，不管主人怎么使唤它，它仍然很兢兢业业，可是人类发现狗肉鲜美，就开始捕杀小狗。

现在，有些动物已经快要灭绝了，就拿鳄鱼来说吧，它虽然很凶猛，但人类更凶猛。而在人类的眼中，鳄鱼皮可以制成行李箱，手提包，钱包，鞋等物品。就是因为有些动物身上的器官具有突出的经济价值，由此成为被人类掠夺利用的对象，成为动物灭绝的主要因素。所以鳄鱼，现在已经成为快要灭绝的动物了。

朋友们，动物的大量毁灭对人类将产生严重的不良后果，造成生态环境严重不平衡，从而使人类的生存环境遭到破坏。消灭动物，就是在消灭人类自己，如果有一天世界上的动物全都消失了，那人类还能生存吗?要保护动物，珍惜这自然界里的每一个生灵吧!让我们从现在做起，保护动物，使世界变得更加美好吧!

Can Money Buy Happiness?

Can money buy happiness? Different people have different opinions. Some

think yes, while others hold the opposite.

It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and

live a life of comfort and security. However, it is equally true that lack of

money causes great distress. It is a common view that "money is the root of all

evil." The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some

places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt

societies where everybody is miserable.

So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on how it is

used. If we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to

happiness l Although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible

if it is employed sensibly.

金钱能买来幸福吗?

金钱能买来幸福吗?不同的人有不同的回答。有的人认为能，有的人则持相反的意见。

诚然一个人如果有足够的钱可以买到他想要的所有物品，过上舒适稳定的生活。然而，同样缺钱往往引起巨大的忧伤。人们常常认为“金钱是万恶之源”，对金钱的追求驱使许多人去骗去偷。在某些地方，没有钱买不到的东西，导致社会的腐化堕落。

所以，金钱并不一定就意味着幸福。这取决于怎样使用金钱，如果我们诚信明智地使用金钱，它将是幸福的基石。尽管金钱买不到幸福，但它可以使幸福成为可能。

Halloween (or Halloween) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。

时间过的真快，转眼又是一年了，今天上午学校开始放寒假了。与以往放假时一样，妈妈总是在假期开始是要求我自己订一个假期计划，目的是为了我能在假期中合理安排好，既能在学习中寻找到各种乐趣，又能学到更多的知识。

首先，我要把寒假作业和老师布置的学习任务认认真真地完成好，要多锻炼身体，保持身体健康。

其次，我要练习书法，长大以后能写一手好字，要多看电视新闻，了解社会。我要坚持写日记，以前我写日记都是为了应付家长的检查，一点内容也没有，以后我打算每天看一篇课外书，把寒假期间的一些所见所闻、所思所想一一地记录在日记本上，要多看一些妈妈给我买的智慧背囊、优秀作文，学习一下人家的写作方法，提高自己的写作水平。在上网时间多进入，多看看别人是怎么写的，用取长补短的方法向别人多学习一些，少玩一些电脑游戏，它不但会对我们的学习造成影响，而且还对我们的眼睛有坏处。

再次，出去走亲戚时一定要做到文明礼貌、尊敬长辈。过年时要向老师们和长辈们拜年。

最后，我要加强学习的同时，还要多帮家人做一些力所能及的事情。

这就是我的寒假计划哦。

to worry about both your health and others’ opinions. Once again, I make a

decision to be a good girl.

我有一个幸福的家，在这个家里，父母之爱，一草一木之爱，使我的生活时时充满着欢快与温馨，我整天就生活在这爱的气氛里。

在这个家里我很喜欢吃肉，青菜就不怎么爱吃。就因为这个爸爸妈妈不知说过我多少次，可是我就是觉得肉好吃，有一次爸爸为了让我吃菜故意和我抢菜吃，那天妈妈炒了一个我最爱吃的芹菜炒肉，妈妈把菜放在我面前，我不停地挑着肉片吃，真香啊!爸爸来到桌子旁，将菜放在桌子中间，我急忙把菜碗拉过来，爸爸把菜碗又拉了过去，我们俩就这样拉来拉去，我生气了，放下筷子走了，眼看爸爸快要把菜全都吃完了，我就顾不上赌气了，拿起筷子快抢，不管是肉还是菜都进了我的嘴了，不知为什么芹菜也蛮好吃的，从那以后我就开始吃青菜了，我知道爸爸用抢的方法治掉了我不吃青菜的坏毛病，爸爸做的一切都是为我好。

家庭就像我们的大树，我生活在幸福的家里，爸爸妈妈就像树枝让我快乐地生活着，我就像一片叶子。我要好好学习，要把这个家庭建设的更好，也就是我要做一片美的叶子，要把大树装扮得漂漂亮亮。

Christmas Day

圣诞节

Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December. It is a very happy day for many boys and girls. Before the term ends in some schools, the children act a nativity or “birth” play, showing how Jesus was born in a stable.

12月25日是圣诞节。对许多男孩和女孩来说，这天是个非常开心的日子。在某些学校，学期结束前，孩子们会表演有关（耶稣）诞生或出生的戏剧，用来（向大家）展示耶稣是如何在马厩里出生的。

On the twenty-fourth of December, all children are very excited. Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready. The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or fireplace, so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in. The greedy ones even hang up a pillow-case or a sack to try to get more presents. Later that night, father or mother will put presents in the sock, and leave others at the side of the bed.

在12月24日这天，所有的小孩都很兴奋。他们常常被（父母）早早地赶上床去睡觉，以便他们的父母能准备好礼物。年幼一点的小孩认为圣诞老人将从烟囱或壁炉里下来，所以他们挂起袜子，方便圣诞老人把礼物放进去。有些贪心的人，为了能得到更多的礼物，甚至把枕套或布袋挂起来。晚一些时候，爸爸或妈妈将礼物放进袜子，并把其他礼物放在（孩子们的）床边。

On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two oclock, and most of them are awake by six oclock, and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared. At about one oclock in the afternoon, the Christmas dinner is brought in. The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten. Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it. The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiest of all Christmas holidays comes to an end.

圣诞节的早上，小孩们很早就醒来了。一些人甚至在凌晨两点开灯，但大多数小孩会在六点醒来，孩子们在（大人们）准备晚餐的时候玩耍。下午一点，圣诞大餐出炉了。火鸡或鸡腿总是很快被抢光。孩子们寻找着属于他们的圣诞布丁是为了确认金币是否有藏在里面。在剩余的时间里，（人们）便是玩游戏和吃食物直到最开心幸福的圣诞节结束。

I have many hobbies.In my spare time,I like listening to some pop music,especially the music played by some pop bands.It can make me relax and let me forget my unhappy moment. If Im in good mood,I always read some history books,which I think is benefical to my study .Besides,surfing the Internet is another means of entertainment of mine.Through the Internet I can get some useful information and chat with my friends as well.The Internet has shortened our distance.

我有很多爱好，在我的业余时间，我喜欢听一些流行音乐，特别是一些流行乐队演奏的音乐，它可以让我放松，让我忘记我不开心的时刻。如果我心情好，我总是读一些历史书，我认为这是有利于我的学习。此外，上网是另一个我的娱乐方式。通过网络我可以得到一些有用的信息和与我的朋友聊天，网络拉近了我们的距离。
