Recently, pm2.5 is close to the extraordinary, in nanjing today at 3 o clock in the morning, pm2.5 has reached 466 micrograms of a cubic meters, entered the serious pollution, pm2.5 is one of the "culprit" haze weather. Not just the pm2.5 exceeds bid badly, pm10 has recently started to crazy, 3 a.m. yesterday, pm10 has reached 579 micrograms of a cubic meters, the nanjing the worst pollution index was about to break! In addition, the sky appeared a "mock sun"! Is too much because floats in the sky. If nanjing on October 1, the sky is blue, so today in nanjing will be gray and a piece of the sky.

Fog not only have an effect on the human body, many planes, ships, cars and so on all cant normal travel. Nanjing lukou airport has 53 flights affected by haze on time boot. Many highways have been closed, the highest visibility on the streets of only 10 meters the following, the car travel is very inconvenient. Hundreds of ships to stay in the Yangtze river in zhenjiang. The influence of the fogs really big ah!

We air pollution index of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze river has been more than the north, like tianjin, Beijing, hebei and other provinces, cities have been we left behind.

今天我们同学都留在家里不去上课。你们知道为什么吗?对了，就是因为雾霾。

雾霾是什么呢?南京等地的灰尘过多，而雾跟这些灰尘相结合，就变成了霾，人大量吸入会得肺病、哮喘等呼吸道疾病。

最近，南京的pm2.5接近爆表，到了今天凌晨3点，pm2.5已经达到了466微克一立方米，进入了严重污染，pm2.5是雾霾天气的“罪魁祸首”之一。不仅仅是pm2.5超标严重，pm10最近也开始疯狂起来，昨天凌晨3点，pm10已经达到了579微克一立方米，这项指标就快要破南京最差污染了!而且，天上还出现了一个“幻日”!就是因为天空中的漂浮物过多而形成的。如果说10月1日的南京的天空是湛蓝的，那么今天南京的天空将是灰蒙蒙地一片。

不仅雾霾对人体有影响，许多飞机、船只、汽车等都不能正常出行。南京禄口机场已有53个航班受雾霾影响不能准点开机。许多条高速公路都已经关闭，街头的最高能见度才仅仅10米即以下，这让汽车出行非常不方便。数百只船只停留在长江镇江段。雾霾的影响可真大呀!

我们长江中下游的空气污染指数已经超过了北方，像天津、北京、河北等省、市都已经被我们落在后面。北方的工厂较多，会排出很多的灰尘，按道理来讲北方城市应该空气污染是最“强”的，可11月到12月中国的空气最差指数，几乎全部是我们江苏“占领”的。

既然雾霾这么可怕，我们也应该想想该怎么办吧!1、当遇到浓雾天气，首先要躲雾霾。雾霾天尽量不要出门，更不要早起锻炼。2、口罩是雾天外出的必需品。要常带口罩，但不能常戴口罩，只有在马路上、医院里等病菌很多，pm2.5很多的地方戴，其他时候，尽量放在口袋里。

这就是雾霾，对我们人体影响很大，我们要学会预防它哦!这也就是我们学校为什么停课的原因了。

腊八粥也叫七宝五味粥，我国喝腊八粥的历史，已经有一千多年。最早开始于宋代。每逢腊八这一天，家家都要做腊八粥。到了清朝，喝腊八粥的风俗更是盛行。在宫廷，皇帝要向文武大臣赐腊八粥。在民间，家家户户也要做腊八粥，祭祀祖先;同时，合家团聚在一起食用，馈赠亲朋好友。

“腊八”还是佛教的盛大节日。以前各地佛寺作浴佛会，煮粥供佛。传说吃了以后可以得到佛祖的保佑，还可以增福增寿。所以人们把它叫做“佛粥”。南宋陆游诗云：“今朝佛粥更相馈，反觉江村节物新。”

中国各地腊八粥的花样很多，其中以北京的最为讲究，粥里有红枣、莲子……总计不下二十种。初七的晚上，就开始忙碌起来，洗米、泡果，在半夜时分开始煮，一直炖到第二天的清晨，腊八粥才算熬好了。你想，这样复杂能不好喝吗?讲究的人家，还要先将果子雕刻成各种花样，再放在锅中煮。腊八粥熬好之后，要先敬神祭祖。之后要赠送亲友，一定要在中午之前送出去。最后才是全家人食用。

一碗粥有这么多知识，中国真不愧是文明大国啊!我真自豪自己是中国人!

在我的心目中，家乡的四季是最美丽的。

春天，河边的垂柳发芽了，桃树也开花了，小河里的水静静地流淌着。青蛙在“呱呱”地叫，鸟儿们在枝头兴奋地唱着歌。我和哥哥正想打水漂，一阵香味芬芳扑鼻，姨，什么花开了?我们顺藤摸瓜，噢!原来是院子里的雪白的梨花开了。

夏天，树木茂盛，知了叫个不停，家里的“黑黑”不得不把粉红色的舌头伸出来。小河里的荷花开了，开的那么芬芳，那么绚烂，荷叶上的滴滴水珠像正在滚动的露珠，像断了线的珍珠，像鱼儿吐出的泡泡。

秋天，果实累累，枣树上的枣子熟了，露出了甜甜的笑脸;苹果红彤彤的，小孩子吃了以后，脸蛋也红了;柿子树上的柿子熟了，像一火红的灯笼……农民伯伯乐得合不拢嘴，挎着篮子摘果去。

冬天，鹅毛般的大雪从天而降，这时候，调皮的小孩子在雪地里玩耍。忽然，雪的兄弟姐妹多了起来，雪花落到你的衣襟上，鞋上……当你擦掉着调皮的小雪花时，它却变成了小水珠。

我爱家乡，更爱家乡的四季!

I always dream about returning to the past. As many people say, childhood is the happiest and easiest time in one’s life. Children show you their true emotions.

They know what is compassion and what is tolerance better than adults.

In their world, all real thoughts are presented.

They may easily have different opinions with others, but they never understand what is animosity.

They enjoy making friends but they never think about making social communication net. Every child talks from the bottom of his heart without evil plans hidden and never intrigues against each other.

Only in children’s way can adults make our life simple, more real and more enjoyable.

I wish everyone’s heart would keep as innocent and lovely as they ever did in their childhood. Then, the walls between our hearts can be broken down and the world would be a better place to live in.

【参考译文】

我总是梦想回到过去。正如许多人所说的，童年是人生中最快乐、最容易的时光。孩子们向你展示真实的情感。

他们懂得什么是同情，什么比成年人更宽容。

在他们的世界里，所有的真实想法都被提出。

他们可以很容易地与别人有不同的意见，但是他们不知道什么是仇恨。

他们喜欢交朋友，但他们从不考虑社交网络。每一个孩子都会谈从心底没有邪恶的计划和隐藏的阴谋永远不会对对方。

只有在孩子的方式，成人使我们的生活更简单，更真实，更令人愉快。

我希望每个人的心都像他们的童年一样天真可爱。然后，我们的心之间的墙壁可以被打破，世界将是一个更好的地方住。

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。

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。

In life there are too many people are worth to thank, for example, raising our parents, the inculcation of unity and friendship among teachers, students... And the most worth me to thank is my biological parents.

Parents brought me to this beautiful world, give me a very warm home, gave me the most unselfish love, accompany me through a happy childhood. Parents to protect my time and time again I will never forget.

When I was a child I was in a ditch, mother desperate, immediately pull me up. And her hands were rough wall ground bleeding. This experience, let me know how the parents love is the most selfless.

Unconsciously already say goodbye to the happy childhood, towards the high school stage. Parents gave me again and again to encourage, make me to irresponsible parents after the examination, leading the way, have again and again.

Parents sometimes also very strict. On one occasion, my brother and I yell bloody murder to a toy, I know is wrong, but I still rakes. After the event, parents criticized the my meal, I also know my fault.

Our parents biological I repay you, parents strict teachings I bear in my mind, it is parents strict teachings, hard and selfless paying that I took to the road of the upright, on the road.

In this, please allow me to solemnly parents say to me: "mom and dad, you were laborious, thank you!"

在人生旅途中有太多太多的人值得我们去感谢，例如：养育我们的父母、谆谆教诲的老师、团结友爱的同学……而最值得我去感谢的是我的生身父母。

父母将我带到这个美丽的世界，给我一个无比温暖的家，给了我最无私的爱、陪伴我渡过一个快乐的童年。父母对我的一次次保护使我终身难忘。

小时候我被陷入水沟，母亲不顾一切，立马将我拉了起来。而她的手心却被粗壁磨得血流不止。这次的经历，让我懂得父母的爱是最无私的。

不知不觉已告别欢乐的童年，迈进中学生阶段。父母给了我一次又一次的鼓励，使我在一次次考试中不负父母所望，名列前茅，得到一次又一次的奖励。

父母有时也十分严厉。有一次，我和弟弟为了一个玩具而大吵大闹，我明知是自己不对，可我还是不依不饶。事后，父母批评了吾一顿，我也知道我的过错。

父母生身之恩我无以回报，父母严厉的教诲我谨记心头，正是父母严厉的教诲、辛勤而无私的付出使我走上正直之路，走上阳光大道。

在此，请允许我郑重地对我的父母说一声：“爸妈，您们辛苦了，感谢您们!”

假期的第二天，妈妈值班去了，爸爸在家陪我写作业，爸爸说：等我写完作业带我去后边的山上玩，我赶紧快写作业，好让爸爸带我出去玩 一会，我用了很短的时间把作业写完了也检查了一遍。写完作业后爸爸带我去了家后边的山上玩了一下午。假期的第二天就这样过完了。

明天是假期的最后一天我要在家好好复习，因为快要期末考试了，不能让老师和爸爸妈妈失望我要考出一个好最好成绩来。
