april fools day is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fools errands, and fool the unsuspecting. no one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in france.

传统上来讲，愚人节这一天，人们可以相互搞恶作剧，骗人跑腿，欺骗不知情的人。没人知道这个节日是怎么来的，但人们普遍认为它源自法国。

the closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in france. new years was celebrated on march 25 and celebrations lasted until april 1st. when new years day as changed from march 25 to january 1st in the mid-1560s by king charles ix, there were some people who still celebrated it on april 1st and those people were called april fools.

庆祝愚人节最早是在1582年，在法国。那时，当时法国新年是在3月25日，一直持续到4月1日。16世纪60年代中期，国王查理九世把新年从3月25日变为1月1日，而还有一些人在4月1日过新年，这些人就被称作四月傻瓜了。

pranks performed on april fools day range from the simple, (such as saying, "your shoes untied!), to the elaborate. setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. the news media even gets involved. for instance, a british short film once shown on april fools day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "april fool!"

愚人节那天的恶作剧有的很简单(比如，说句“你鞋带开了!”)，有的却是精心设计的。把室友的闹钟往后调一小时是常见的。甚至新闻媒体都来凑热闹。比如，在愚人节那天，曾经有一部英国短片较为详细地记录了“种意大利面的农民”，以及他们如何从意大利面树上收获意大利面。不管是什么恶作剧，搞恶作剧的人通常在最后会对被搞的人喊一句:"四月傻瓜!"

april fools day is a "for-fun-only" observance. nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. nobody gets off work or school. its simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next april fool!

愚人节是一个“仅为娱乐”的节日。谁也不用买礼物，也不用带着男/女朋友出去到一家豪华餐厅去吃饭。人们也不会放假。它仅仅是个搞笑的小节日，但是在这一天，每个人都要保持警醒，不然就要被人耍啦。

each country celebrates april fools differently. in france, the april fools is called "april fish" (poisson davril). the french fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends backs and when some discovers this trick, they yell "poisson davril!".

每个国家用不同的方式过愚人节。在法国，愚人节被称作“april fish”。法国人和他们的朋友是这样开玩笑的：把一张裁成鱼形的纸用胶带粘到朋友的后背上，当有人发现的时候，他们就会喊：“poisson davril!”.

in england, tricks can be played only in the morning. if a trick is played on you, you are a "noodle". in scotland, april fools day is 48 hours long and you are called an "april gowk", which is another name for a cuckoo bird. the second day in scotlands april fools is called taily day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks. taily days gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "kick me" sign.

在英国，只能在早上搞恶作剧。如果你被耍了，那你就是“面条”。在苏格兰，愚人节要持续2天，被耍的人被称为“四月布谷”。苏格兰第二天的愚人节叫做taily day，恶作剧主要在别人的屁股上做文章。

昨天回来我老家，一看到这静幽幽的瓦屋，我就忍不住去到处转一转，看一看。

我小时候在农村长大，对农村点点都情有独钟，这个小瓦屋很老，用砖瓦盖的，不算很大，但也不小，是我爷爷奶奶的家，坐个五十人开会准没问题。老瓦屋从外看，低低矮矮的只有一层，东南北三面墙还算完整，可是西面墙缺砖少瓦，破损不堪，但家里面虽然很旧，但不乱，反而更整洁。六年前餐桌在哪还在哪，木椅向北现在还是向北，全是记忆中的模样，我都怀疑这是不是博物馆。

走进后院，房后挨着一棵树，树的叶子像个小扇子，我知道这是银杏树，但是我爷爷管它叫白果树，说是有好运。奶奶说这树比这房子还高一辈，我爸十岁时就上树采果子出去卖。

靠近树旁有个小梯子，是上房顶的，我一个劲儿爬了上去，上去了才发现树比房都高，像个巨人护着房子，房子好像躺在它怀里默默地享受着它的保护。我向西方望去，落日的光把晚霞都灌红了脸，似羞答答欲言又止的姑娘，十分辉煌！这时，闭上两眼似乎真的来到了童话世界，心中暖暖的，难道谁在这时会否定夕阳能融化心中的杂念吗？

向东一望，田野里，几个农民，扛着锄头，谈笑着走向炊烟缭绕的家，家里人正等着他们吃晚饭呢。这时，夕阳落下山去，只留下一片光晕，衬托的那些树啊、房屋啊、小河小桥啊，充满了诗意。

我回忆这天边的云霞，单层的小屋，古老的银杏树，还有晚归的农人，黄昏的雾霭……

那天又在奶奶家，就在那瓦屋里，我吃了老家水土种植的米饭，那个香啊！

家乡的瓦屋啊，你随时在我梦里，静静地伴我安然入睡。

You want to know sthe changes about my hometown. You know, great changes have taken place since 60 years ago.

In the past, the living conditions were very poor. There were not many buses or cars, and the roads were narrow. Usually, a big family was crowed into a small, dark house. Most families couldn’t get enough food. The communications were simple and slow. People kept in touch with their friends and relatives far away mainly by letter or telegram.

Thanks to the government, our hometown has developed rapidly in recent years. The living conditions are much better and more comfortable. The roads are wide. Some people have their own cars. Most of the people have lived in big new houses. Quite a few adults have mobile phones. Because of many good policies, I think our lives will become better and better.

The most interesting, is that the top of the thick fog, one or two months a year, on the top of the mountain will have a thick layers of fog, you can put the fog blowing a "hole" in one breath, but it closed in neither fast nor slow, steep peak, have a piece of egg shaped stone.

家在岩坦，是一个美丽的山村。家门后就是一座小山，山上长满了树木，是个如诗如画的地方。

春姑娘踏着轻柔的脚步悄悄地在小山居住了下来，小山也从美梦中苏醒。清泉从山顶翻滚了下来，一路跑，一路叮咚、叮咚地唱着歌，好像是在欢迎春姑娘的到来呢！在这个时候，小青蛙准时地告别睡意，忙着去捉害虫。映山红也一群群地绽放出了笑脸，阳光撒下的光辉给映山红小姐们创造了露天阳光舞台，只要风儿拂过，她们便翩翩起舞。不但迷人，还充满了诗情画意。从远处望去，山上绿色泛滥，而那夺目的映山红给无边的绿色添了许多光彩！

夏婆婆生气了，就让大地热得像一个大火炉，而小山上却凉爽极了。如果爬到山顶的一棵松树下睡觉，凉爽的风儿就会轻轻地从你身边走过，你准会觉得像吃了一大块冰一样舒服。我经常和姐姐一起到小山上乘凉、玩耍呢！

秋姐姐来了，落叶便跟大树告别，飞落在大地妈妈的怀抱里，渐渐地睡着了，同时，给大地铺上了一层金色的被子，每当我走在落叶铺成的小路上，都觉得，我是秋天的保护神，来给小山献上了迷人的秋景。

冬天，冬爷爷吹来一阵阵寒流，山上的小溪、小池、泉水都被冻住了，小青蛙告别了好朋友，冬眠去了。小鸟儿飞到温暖的地方过冬去了。庄家躲在雪被子下面踏踏实实地睡着了。

这就是我那如诗如画的老家的小山。

春天，小草抽出了嫩芽。一阵春风吹来，我怕小草会被风吹倒，很着急。但是，小草并没有被吹到，反倒是挺直身子，比原来更加茁壮了。

夏天，烈日当空，闷热无比，小草会忍受住吗？我到草坪一看，出乎我意料，小草不但没被晒死，而且比以前更加绿。

秋天，我又来看小草。我想小草一定已经枯萎了。但是小草还和以前一样，绿油油的。

冬天，我来到草坪旁边。草坪已经被积雪覆盖了，扒开积雪，我看见小草枯黄了。但是，小草是不会被寒冷夺去生命的。它们还顽强的活在地下，因为他们要等待春天来临，再生根发芽，再享受春光。

漫长的冬季真难过去，我盼了好久，春天终于来了。我迫不及待跑到小草生长的地方。小草又抽出了嫩芽，可爱极了。我望着小草，真正感到了它的伟大。我真正认识了这位朋友——小草。

啊，家乡的小草，你是我学习的榜样，你给了我战胜困难的希望，我爱你，家乡的小草！

Shanxi Province got its name due to its location to the west of Taihang Mountain. Shanxi neighbored on Hebei, Henan, Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia & Autonomous Region. It is located to the east of the Yellow River, and is also known as Hedong. Shanxi belonged to Jin State in Spring and Autumn Period, so it is abbreviated in Jin. Shanxi occupies an area of 156,000 square kilometers (about 60,000 square miles) and has a population of over 32 million, including its minority ethnic population. Its capital is Taiyuan City.

When to go

Being at a high altitude, Shanxi Province has a cold and dry climate and has an annual rainfall of between 400-600 millimeters. The province is also frequently plagued by sandstorms, especially in the spring, so it is often useful to bring along both sunglasses and a hat when visiting. Generally speaking, the provinces climate is the best between May and October.

History

Shanxi is one of the birth places of Chinese civilizations with a long history and traditional culture. As early as one hundred million years ago, the ancestors of the Chinese lived and propagated in this region. Legend tells us that the Yellow Emperor, founder of the Chinese nation, once lived in Shanxi for a certain period. Today, many Neolithic sites from that period can still be seen dotted across the vast expanse of the province.

What to see

Shanxi is endowed with an abundance of cultural sites from its long history. Most of the ancient structures were built before the Liao and Song Dynasties. So it is the reason why Shanxi is often called the Chinese Ancient Architecture Museum. The more obvious of these include: the Buddhist wonder of the Yungang Grottoes in Datong City, the ancient city of Pingyao which was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO in 1997, the oldest and tallest ancient wooden pagoda in China, the Wooden Pagoda of Yingxian County and the remote Shuanglin and Jinci Temples, which are well worth the long journeys for the visitors.

Of course, there are a number of natural magnificent and beautiful places that can also be seen in Shanxi. The most famous of them include Wutai Mountain with the longest and most prestigious history in the four most well-known Buddhist holy lands of China, the whistling rage of the Yellow Rivers Kettle Spout waterfalls (Hukou Waterfalls) and one of the Five Sacred Mountains in China - Mt Hengshan.
