Now, some of the students in our class has a bad cold, does everything listless, a sickly appearance. So you must protect have holes in the earth, protect the environment, starts from me, let the blue sky white clouds accompany us forever!

最近一星期内，我们城市里出现了“异常情况”——雾霾。雾霾严重影响了居民的生活。在我上学时，周围灰蒙蒙，什么也看不清。这个星期六，爸爸送我去上古筝课，快到了，当时我没有看到周围的高楼大厦，还以为爸爸开错路哩!

一般雾都是跟纯牛奶一样，是乳白色的，而霾是灰色的，还有点儿呛鼻。我对雾，霾并不了解，所以我今天特意上网查了一下。哦，原来是这样啊，雾是有大量悬浮在近地面空气中的微小水滴或冰晶组成的气溶胶系统，是近地面层空气中水汽凝结的产物。雾的存在会降低空气透明度，使能见度恶化，如果目标物的水平能见度降低到1000米以内，就将悬浮在近地面空气中水汽凝结物的天气现像称为雾。

霾也称灰霾，空气中的灰尘，硫酸，硝酸，有机碳氢化合物等粒子使大气混浊，视野模糊并导致能见度恶化。随着空气质量的恶化，阴霾天气现象出现增多，危害加重。近期我国不少地区把阴霾天气现象并入雾一起作为灾害性天气预警预报。统称为“雾霾天气”。

雾霾能使人“旧病复发”，因为雾霾里包含细菌，灰尘和病毒等污染物，再加上人为地工业废气，汽车尾气等，严重影响人们的身体健康。现在，我们班里的一些同学得了重感冒，做什么事都无精打采，一副病怏怏的样子。所以大家一定要保护已经千疮百孔的地球啊，保护环境，从我做起，让蓝天白云永远陪伴着我们!

今天早上，天阴了下来，突然，下起了倾盆大雨。同学们撑着雨伞踏着雨水一步一步坚持回到学校。虽然同学们几乎都撑着雨伞，但还是因为雨势过大被淋湿了。同学们开始抱怨天气的千变万化。这时，班主任曾老师看到这种情形，一边维持班里的秩序一边掏出手机打电话联系班上十几位同学的家长，希望他们能为孩子送服装。在这十几位家长当中，杨柏辉的家长是最辛苦的，她一开始只是为儿子送衣服，后来听说班上其他同学淋湿了却没通知家长，立即冒雨回家，带来衣服、裤子等，亲自派发给同学们，问寒问暖，没有半句怨言。

事后，曾老师与同学们都很感谢为自己的孩子四处奔波的家长，对于杨柏辉的家长也要说声“谢谢”，更因为麻烦到她而深感歉意，曾老师也是功不可没的，她完全可以利用办公室的电话联系家长，但她并没有这么做。

说“谢谢”容易，可发自内心的“谢谢”才是最重要的。

春节是中国的传统节日，每当春节来临，就代表新的一年开始了。在春节的每一天里，人们都过得非常快乐!我的家乡也不例外。

我的家乡在徐闻，每当春节来临，家家户户张灯结彩，喜气洋洋，各种各样的迎新春活动层出不穷，但其中最有趣的是“金狮抓彩”和“游花车”。

大年初一天刚亮，醒狮队就开始给各家各户拜年了。这时，人们会把早已准备好的用红包和糖果拼成的“彩头”，高高挂在屋檐或二楼的栏杆上，让狮子“抓彩”。当狮子给户主拜完年，醒狮团的师兄弟们就会轮番表演南拳、大刀、长枪等各式各样的功夫，之后就用搭罗汉的方式，一层一层地搭成人梯给狮子“抓彩”。狮子爬在人梯的最高层，首先向所有在场的人行叩首礼，然后就跃起身子用嘴去抓 “彩头”。你只要听到欢呼声，“彩头”肯定被狮子抓到了。

游花车是最热闹的庆春节活动。大年十二，每个乡镇都会根据自己的特色扎出别具一格的花车。花车的款式各不相同，有的扎的是丰收喜悦的瓜果满园，有的扎的是经济腾飞的高楼大厦，有的扎的是喜迎春色的满园花香，还有的是五洲同庆的太空遨游。花车五颜六色，彩灯闪烁，彩旗飘飘，美丽极了!每年一到游花车的时候，人们打扮得漂漂亮亮的，从各个乡镇赶到县城，从各个小巷涌上街头，围着游行的花车笑呀、跳呀，这辆是我们镇的，那辆是你们镇的，互相转告着，欢笑着，脸上洋溢着欢庆丰收的喜悦。

这是一个美好的开始，世界因她的来临点亮了天地之间所有的灯，她拿起微风的笔，画出心目中繁花似锦的大地。在这个世界里，春天来临了。

从此刻开始，世界就像初开的宇宙，开始了她独特的繁华。万物复苏，世界的生灵们开始忙碌的完成大自然给予它们的使命，为了世间的繁华努力生活，花儿草儿拼命生长，那曾经凄清之地，现在焕然一新!那寒冷的夜，被光芒划破，被温暖驱逐，万物开始感叹繁华!

这时的天空开始下微雨，伴随着越来越急促的“嘀嗒嘀嗒”的旋律声时，雨，这个小精灵开始冲刷罪恶的寒气，换来用空气织出的丝丝清凉，这就是春天的开始。

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。

新年是我们小孩子最喜欢的节日了，因为新年不仅能吃年夜饭，还能拿压岁钱。不过，今年新年里让我最开心的就是那次小队活动了，它让我又一次体会到了助人为乐的快乐。

那次小队活动前刚下了一场大雪，于是我们就决定帮别人的车子除雪，在征得了同学妈妈的同意后，我们就开始行动了。

那天天气真是冷极了，但我们可顾不了那么多。这时，我们的小队长陶心盈就开始分工了：“唐宁珩，你和石雨卉，擦车子的前面，徐晨和张博纳擦车子的上面，陈飞宇和我一起擦车子的后面!”分好了工，我们都开开心心的去做自己的事情，我们一边擦还一边说说笑笑，很是高兴。

瞧!我们的队长陶心盈干的多起劲啊!只见她先用手把车子上的雪堆到一起，把它们扔到地上去，再用手指把车子缝隙里的雪擦干净。我想：我们的队长那么认真，我也应该向她学习!

终于把车子擦好了，同学的妈妈看见我们把车子擦的这么干净，就表扬我们道：“哇!你们真是一群助人为乐的好孩子呀!”虽然我们的手和脸被冻得通红，但我们一点也不觉得冷，反而心里像吃了蜜一样甜，

我们如果从身边的小事做起，助人为乐，尊老爱幼，那么我们的社会将会变的更美好!

Sweep the stairs, seems to be a very common thing, but it brings me a lot of feelings. Before winter vacation, we came to the neighborhood to apprentice activity, and our task is to sweep the stairs.

Normally, I in the home is an "eye", seldom do household chores, that just began to sweep a little do not know how to start. Before didnt work, I found that the public stair is very messy, there are some waste paper, garbage, there are a lot of dust. I cant help but give birth to a touch of disgust. However, I still matters. I from top to bottom and from bottom to top, back and forth several times to already was too tired to full head big sweat, faint. I saw on the third floor corridor is very dirty, then hurriedly picked up a broom and dustpan, carefully swept down from the upstairs down the stairs. And for a long time, ran ran down on the stairs, I head a little dizzy, carelessly almost wrestling, I heart fibrillation fibrillation, thought, is not swept. But look at other students already full head big sweat, but it is still trying to sweep the stairs. I was determined to continue to sweep the stairs. People say that the most glorious labor, I think this is the best reason to comfort themselves, hum, edge sweep the stairs.

At this time already clean many stairs. Looking at his own work achievement my heart is happy. Suddenly, I understand the purpose of the event: trains the student to love labor good habits and consciousness of protecting the environment and dedicated spirit. Indeed, as a primary school student, is should have these qualities. If without them, and learn again good, also is not a good student of all-round development. So, I have more power, picked up the broom, humming a little song, continue to sweep up the stairs to seriously, though it is hard process but the harvest is great.

I am from the little thing, learned a lot. Here, I want to say to all: the earth is my home, environmental protection depends on everybody, not everyone work together, it is impossible to improve sanitation. Although I dont understand the technology, also do not know the importance of high-tech, but I know a little, some high-tech pollution is very serious, why dont you improve it? I also know that now there are a lot of people to participate in the activities, but rather some weak power, I hope there are more and more people can participate in, the earth regained vigor!

扫楼梯，看起来是一件很平常的事情，可它却给我带来了很多的感想。在放寒假之前，我们来到居委会进行见习活动，而我们的任务就是扫楼梯。

平时，我在家里就是一颗“掌上明珠”，很少做家务活，以致于刚开始扫的时候，有点无从下手。在没干活之前，我发现公用楼梯很脏乱，有一些废纸、垃圾，还有不少灰尘。我不禁生出一丝厌恶之情。然而，我还是动手了。我从上到下，又从下到上，来来回回的几次下来已累得满头大汗、有气无力。我看见三楼楼道非常脏，便连忙拿起扫帚和簸箕，小心翼翼地从楼上顺着楼梯往下扫。扫了很久，在楼梯上跑上跑下的，我的头竟有点晕，一不小心差点摔跤，我的心颤了颤，心想：不扫了。可是看看别的同学已满头大汗了，但仍在努力地扫着楼梯。我下定决心，要继续把楼梯扫完。人们都说劳动最光荣，我自认为这是让自己得到安慰的最好理由，边哼歌，边扫楼梯。

这时楼梯已经干净了许多。望着自己的劳动成果我的心也快乐起来了。忽然间，我明白了这次活动的用意：培养学生热爱劳动保护环境的良好习惯和意识以及乐于奉献的情操。的确，作为一名小学生，是应该具备这些品质的。如果没有了它们，学习再好，也不会是一个全面发展的好学生。于是，我更加有了动力，拿起扫帚，哼着小曲儿，继续认真地扫起楼梯来，虽然过程艰苦但是收获却不凡。

我从这件小事中，体会到了许多。在这里，我想对所有的人说：地球是我家，环保靠大家，没有大家的共同协作，是不可能搞好环卫的。我虽不懂那些高科技，也不知那些高科技的重要性，但我深知一点，有些高科技污染很严重，为什么不改善它呢?我也知道现在正有许多人参与着这个活动，但力量未免有些薄弱，我希望还有更多的人能参与进来，使地球恢复往日的生机!
