世界上有许多动物。它们看起来很可爱，特别受人们的欢迎。但是，你注意过那种动物吗?蚂蚁。

蚂蚁，一种非常小的动物，只有芝麻那么大。在动物界，是很不显眼的。是不受人关注的。但是我因为那件事佩服蚂蚁，对蚂蚁有了新的认识。

几周前，我和父母去龙泉湖散步。累了，我蹲在地上让爸爸给我买点吃的。我发现了蚂蚁洞，几只蚂蚁正在寻找食物。我拿出爸爸给我买的一小块面包，放在蚂蚁洞旁边。蚂蚁也是敏感动物。他们没有冲进去，而是先派一个“侦察兵”观察情况，然后移动面包，直到他们认为安全为止。一只蚂蚁的力量是不够的。那一小块面包对他们来说就像泰山一样。人们常说：“众志成城，泰山移”。那么，蚂蚁也是如此。许多蚂蚁来帮忙，他们团结一致。那一小块面包奇迹般地被蚂蚁搬走了。我不禁想知道。

蚂蚁虽小，生命脆弱，但生命力极其顽强。水淹没不了它，但它爬出了水堆，因为蚂蚁坚信，只要努力，就会重新看到光明。

其他那些动物外表华丽，但没有蚂蚁那么华丽。我越来越喜欢蚂蚁了......

暑假里的一天，我和妈妈跟随亲子夏令营来到了古代帝王的宫殿——故宫，饱览了故宫之丽。

游览故宫之前，我们就阅读了朋朋哥哥写给孩子们的《宫?城》。书中阐述了许多历史和故事，其中印象深的有一段是花了大幅篇章描述了故宫的排水系统。最近北京下过大雨，也有新闻报道说百年故宫竟不积水，这让我感到十分疑惑。于是，我带着好多疑问来到了故宫。

我们在文化导师小松哥哥的带领下进入了故宫。一进午门，展现在眼前的是一座座气势宏伟的宫殿。蓝的天白的云，下面是黄色的屋顶，红色的柱子，中间加上过渡色蓝绿彩绘，冷暖色调相互辉映，这么美的画面真的震憾心灵。

故宫不仅具有观赏性，还具备实用性。紫禁城的护城河——金水河，它不仅有防敌、消防的作用，还能泄洪。我最想看的是各宫殿须弥座上的昂头向外的“螭首”。在太和殿的广场上，我近距离观察了，螭首嘴中有一个小洞，可以喷出多余的积水。流到太和殿广场上的雨水，再根据地势变化，流向台基下的券洞，最终经券洞通过明沟暗渠，排到护城河里，这样一来故宫再也不怕大水了。但是为什么这些螭首上的小洞就这么大小，大点不是排水更快吗?我想再回过头去看看《宫?城》，能不能找到答案。

除了这些，在互动游戏中我回答了角楼的作用。我还看到了龙凤呈祥的交泰殿，最具东北特色的坤宁宫，具有十只脊兽的太和殿，在御花园留了影……还有许多各具特色的宫殿，我们没来得及细看，也给我这次故宫之行留下了小小的遗憾。

每个人眼里的故宫都不一样，同一个人不同时间看到的故宫又不一样。有机会我会再游故宫，到那时又会是怎样的感觉呢。

可以借助风力启动的玩具很多，我做了一个简单且好玩的风车，既可以玩耍，又可以吹到凉爽的风，真是一举两得。

这个简易风车由一个螺旋状的纸扇叶和一根又细又长的杆子构成。它的总高度有23厘米，相当于一本语文书的高度，纸扇叶大约是整体高度的一半，细长的杆子占了总高度的一大半，杆子上绑了一根针来固定扇叶。

制作它需要以下这些材料：透明胶、一根针、一张正方形纸、一根筷子和一张小卡纸片。首先，把一张正方形纸的一个角和它的对角对折，四个角都要如此。再在中间画一个直径为2。5厘米的圆。用剪刀沿着之前对折过的四条线，剪到圆圈的外围为止。这样会看到四个三角形，每个三角形没有顶角，只有两个底角。接下来，把每组的同一个方向的底角折进中间的圆圈里，用准备好的一根针，一次把所有折进圆圈里的角穿破。再把针用透明胶绑在一根木筷子上。为了让扇叶不脱落，将一张小卡纸片从针的顶端穿下来，再用透明胶把卡纸片固定在针的顶端，这样简易的小风车就大功告成了。

把简易的小风车对着正在工作的电扇，它就好像是一个正在急速旋转的螺旋桨，“呼啦呼啦”地转个不停。如果以最快的速度转的话，它的“功力”和一个小型充电风扇相当呢！

Tomb-sweeping day is one of the 24 solar terms, also called the "cold food" festival, there are grave and the tradition of eating ai dumpling.

"Rains fall heavily as qingming comes, and passers-by with lowered spirits go." This years tomb-sweeping day rainy, seems to be a more solemn atmosphere. One day, our whole family with sacrifices the mountain grave. Vehicles lined up at the foot of the mountain, to come to the grave, get to stretch, speed is slow, and the traffic police command temporarily.

We first came to grandmas grave, with offerings on the tombstone ahead, pious hopes to grandmas grief. All of a sudden, "peng?? Pa! Knock?? Bang!" Firecrackers into ears. I looked inside, there are some people regardless of "civilization grave, burning firecrackers ban" initiative, without authorization, setting off firecrackers in front of the tomb. Fireworks set off incense and the despite the rainy today, but the fire hazard is still to be reckoned with.

I am lost in thought......

Suddenly, think of the teacher said in class "grave" online. Yes, teacher once mentioned that "grave" online can ease traffic pressure, sacrifices to advocate green civilization, but also can facilitate users never leave home martyrs during qingming festival ancestors, a "win-win-win".

On the same day, dad and I will contract next years tomb-sweeping day we online reaction to grandma. In the future, we will mobilize the people around calls the green, to join the online grave.

清明节是二十四个节气中的其中一个，又叫“寒食”节，有扫墓和吃艾饺的习俗。

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。”今年的清明节阴雨绵绵，似乎又多了一丝肃穆的气氛。这天，我们全家带着祭品上山扫墓。山脚下，前来扫墓的车辆排成长龙，挨挨挤挤，行进速度缓慢，还有交警临时指挥。

我们先来到奶奶的墓前，拿出祭品放在墓碑前方，虔诚地寄托对奶奶的哀思。突然，“嘭??啪!嘭??啪!”的鞭炮声传入耳畔。我循声望去，原来是有一些人不顾“文明扫墓，禁燃鞭炮”的倡议，在墓前擅自燃放鞭炮。尽管今天阴雨绵绵，但燃放香烛和鞭炮的火灾隐患仍不容小觑。

我陷入了沉思中……

忽然，想起老师在课上说过的“网上扫墓”。对啊，老师曾提起过“网上扫墓”既可以缓解交通压力，倡导绿色文明祭祀，同时也可以方便网友清明期间足不出户祭扫先人，可谓“一举三得”。

当天，我就和爸爸约定明年的清明节我们就在网上祭奠奶奶。今后，我们也会动员身边的人响应这个绿色的号召，加入到网上扫墓的行列中来。

april fools day is a day to play jokes on others, no one knows how this holiday began but people think it first started in france.

愚人节是一天开别人的玩笑,没有人知道这个节日是如何开始的,但人们认为它开始在法国。

在16世纪,人们庆祝新年从3月25日到4月1日。在1560年代中期国王查理九世改变了从3月25日到1月1日。但是一些人仍然在4月1日庆祝,这样其他人叫他们四月傻瓜。

初时感恩节没有固定日期，由各州临时决定，直到美国独立后，感恩节才成为全国性的节日。 每逢感恩节这一天，美国举国上下热闹非常，基督徒按照习俗前往教堂做感恩祈祷，城市乡镇到处都有化装游行、戏剧表演或体育比赛等。分别了一年的亲人们也会从天南海北归来，一家人团圆，品尝以“火鸡”为主的感恩节美食。

美国当地最著名的庆典则是从1924年开始的梅西百货感恩节游行(Macy‘s thanksgiving day parade)。

每逢感恩节这一天，美国举国上下热闹非凡，人们按照习俗前往教堂做感恩祈祷，城乡市镇到处举行化装游行、戏剧表演和体育比赛等，学校和商店也都按规定放假休息。孩子们还模仿当年印第安人的模样穿上离奇古怪的服装，画上脸谱或戴上面具到街上唱歌、吹喇叭。散居在他乡外地的家人也会回家过节，一家人团团围坐在一起，大嚼美味火鸡，并且对家人说：“谢谢!”。感恩节后，学校会让同学们画一张感恩节的画，大部分学生都画的是火鸡。

同时，好客的美国人也忘不掉这一天邀请好友、单身汉或远离家乡的人共度佳节。从18世纪起，美国就开始出现一种给贫穷人家送一篮子食物的风俗。当时有一群年轻妇女想在一年中选一天专门做善事，认为选定感恩节是最恰当不过的。所以感恩节一到，她们就装上满满一篮食物亲自送到穷人家。这件事远近传闻，不久就有许多人学着她们的样子做起来。不管遇到谁，他们都会说：“thank you!”

清明的荒原，蝴蝶从何而来?

迷茫的思念，在千年如梦的河流之上，爱情，孤独的幻术，成为一种冥火的悸动。

扭曲了生命的去向。

有一天黄昏，月色柔柔，我知道，更多的祭祀，是来自灵魂深处的敬畏——一种死亡的超越，比复活的遗言更为崇高。

我便不停地赞美花朵的惊艳。

赞美春天的温馨星月。

赞美生命的赐福，从原始的血脉中，疲惫的云朵，顽强地向我走近。

她们果实的丰满，和蜜蜂付出的泪水，绵延在沙漠的肌肤表象——

清明节姗姗来迟。

青雨蒙蒙。

清明节又叫踏青节，在仲春与暮春之交，是中国传统节日，也是最重要的祭祀节日之一，是祭祖和扫墓的日子。中华民族传统的清明节大约始于周代，距今已经有两千五百多年的历史了。

今年清明节，伴随着纷纷细雨，似乎老天爷也因这个怀念的日子而哭泣。我们一家子人要去扫墓，因为会堵车，所以我们都要起早。爸爸起来了，说：“起床了，起床了！”他的叫声把我从梦中惊醒，我起来穿好衣服，刷了牙，洗了脸，我们就去扫墓了。

我说：“妈妈，外面在下雨。”妈妈说：“我去拿把伞。”我们拿了鲜花、炮竹、金元宝、冥币等等一些东西，出发了。

到了乡下，虽然天公不作美，但山上的美景还是吸引住了我。整片的映山红，红的似火，粉的似霞，还有一些叫不出名字的漂亮的花儿和穿着碧绿衣裳的树儿，很美。我手捧着鲜花，妈妈拿着金元宝和冥币，爸爸拿着大炮竹，我们走在山路上。山路很不好走，路边有一些长着锯齿的草，很容易把手划破。

我们走了二十几分钟才到呢！我献给老祖宗鲜花，爷爷奶奶把金元宝和冥币烧给了老祖宗，爸爸在放炮竹时，妈妈问爸爸有没有打火机，爸爸说有。爷爷奶奶让我给老祖宗鞠了三躬。下山的路很不好走，又很滑，我们艰难地下了山。

回到了家我们又做了清明果吃。爸爸揉面，我来压成饼，妈妈来包。

这一天过的很充实，很快乐，我要记住这个特别的日子。

“身穿黄澄衣，酸甜各不同，七八个兄弟抱一起。”你猜猜这是什么水果呢?这就是我，功效多多的——桔子。

我是一种含有丰富维生素C的水果，我身穿一件黄澄澄的包子形状似的外衣，远远望去就像一个金灿灿的小太阳。

我的外表虽然不像苹果那么光滑，外皮还有点粗糙，但论起美味，我们桔子一族并不比苹果差，而且我们在水果家族中的营养价值排名可高了!

我们桔子全身都是宝，就连一件“外衣”都有很高的药用价值。桔子皮晒干后也叫“陈皮”，它既可以清热、止咳、化痰，还可以增强你的抵抗力。陈皮泡出来的茶，会有一股浓厚的芳香扑鼻而来，令你神清气爽。剥去我的外皮，七八个可爱的“兄弟们”穿着白睡衣，正在一起睡觉呢。每个“兄弟”都饱满多汁，味道既不像西瓜那样甜，又不像柠檬那样酸到掉牙。当你一口咬下去，一股清凉、酸甜可口的汁便从嘴里流入心田，令你回味无穷!

听了我的自我介绍后，你是不是也想尝尝我这浑身上下都是宝的桔子呢?希望大家多吃一些桔子，增加维生素，补充一下营养哦!

不知不觉中，无论是商场里还是班级里，都出现一个奇怪的词汇“盲盒”。“盲盒”?这是什么，莫不是给盲人摸的盒子?不是的，盲盒就是你不知道里面是什么东西的盒子，我通过别人的谈话，得出了这个结论。

班里也流行起了“盲盒”这个词，但同学们买不起昂贵的盲盒，但是还有别的呢：盲盒笔、盲盒橡皮、盲盒荧光笔、盲盒笔芯……仿佛一夜之间，普通的水笔几乎从同学们的铅笔盒里消失了，铅笔盒则被各式各样的“盲盒”系列塞满了。我看着那些漂亮的笔，心中也不免有些渴望。

看我们这么狂热，陆老师定了三十分换一支盲盒笔的规矩，大家听说这个消息，果然个个都努力得分，我也用分数换了三支盲盒笔，真是开心极了。

谁知道这时，班级里突然爆出一个惊天大新闻，几名同学把盲盒带到学校来玩了，影响了学习，耽误了功课!大家都十分惊讶于有人带了盲盒到学校，陆老师知道这件事情之后，提醒同学们要给“盲盒”“降降温”了，不要太狂热了。

写到这里，我看了看我手中的普通水笔，其实它还是挺好用的。

诸位同学，任何事情都应该有个度，正如陆老师说的“降降温”吧。

Today is the Ching Ming Festival. The ancients said: Qingming season rain

have. This is heavy overcast weather, we have a go Ta-Qing Chihu.

On the way we are going to see that a strong grass and indomitable

perseverance, with its staged to greet the spring, not to be outdone, it put on

the new green clothes, green flowers in the movie, there is red, there is green,

yellow has the ... ... we go for a road, came to a field, the eyes are a feast

for the eyes everywhere in gold, stood the rape in high spirits, and for many

pearl-like dew-like in the golden slip slide small rolling on ... ... chee lake,

willow willow braid a section on green leaves and shoots have decoration, is the

first girl more than any jewelry would also like to look good.

After Chihu cemetery, we can not help but go inside. Looking at the graves

of martyrs and watched a wreath of small white flowers looked pure, my mind is

not fluctuating. I think many, many: of us happy today, a better life for us by

the revolutionary martyrs created, but also with their paid for in blood. So, my

mind had an idea: the succession of martyrs want behest, studying strenuously

strive to become the pillars of the national construction.

Next, we went to the yellow folder Ao, the mountains are packed, everyones

face is filled with nostalgic, looking at this picture, my mind, there has been

some regret. I hope all my elders a long life and good health.

The Qingming Festival Ta-Qing to my feelings more, and once again I know

the nature of the mellow side, my great harvest ah well!

我叫刘俏楚，今年9岁，是一个爱学习的小姑娘。

我长着一头乌黑漂亮的长发，扎着马尾辫，额头前留着一排齐齐的刘海，给人一种文静的感觉。

我从小在妈妈的引导下养成回家就写作业的好习惯。现在每天放学回家，我先写作业。在没写完作业之前，我吃什么都不香、玩什么都没有心思。通过平时扎实的基本功，我在一次次考试中取得了优异的成绩。

在劳动课中，老师教给我们用斜针法、回针法来缝布。回家后，我自豪地告诉爸爸妈妈：“我学会缝东西了，往后你们的袜子破了，让我给你们缝。”为了锻炼老师教给我们的方法，我不断动手，现在爸爸妈妈的袜子破了都是我的“功课”。

除了学习手工外，我还学会了骑自行车、打羽毛球……这就是爱学习的我。

中国戏曲源远流长，他有着鲜明的民族风格;每个剧种都有着他独特的魅力，韵味以及内涵：如京剧的雍容华贵，昆剧的典雅精致，梆子戏的高亢悲凉，还有越剧的轻柔婉转……

我国的戏曲大约有五十多种，其中我最喜欢的是越剧。

越剧源于先秦，形成于唐代，发展于宋金，成熟于元代，繁荣于明清，现流行于浙江一带。20__年5月它被列为中国文化部第一批国家级非物质文化遗产。

越剧和大家所熟知的京剧不同，越剧的唱腔清幽婉丽，词曲悲凉婉转，动作细腻柔美，多以白面书生才子佳人为主题，而京剧却是感情炙热，唱腔高昂，动作奔放洒脱，曲调跌岩十分明显，让人一听七情六欲随之而动。你更喜欢哪一种呢?

记得前年我和爸爸去杭州的一家茶馆听越剧的时候，我当时就被台上那穿透心灵的悲凉语境和感人的才子佳人的故事所感动，至今每当听到《梁山伯与祝英台》的曲调时我都不由得想起那一段感人的爱情故事。

京剧属于国粹，在戏曲中占有很总要的地位，所以它的服饰行头都非常的华丽讲究，每个造型都极具人物性格特色，文，武分类极具明显。而越剧却不一样，越剧的服装和它的故事情节及曲调相吻合，都是以淡雅，柔美，简洁的长衫水袖，袄，长袍，和褂为主，十分复杂，比西方的歌剧服装不知道要精妙多少倍。但他们的共同点都是上妆之前都先得包头纱，把头纱浸湿后勒在头上而后再根据角色需求佩戴不同发冠头饰，这种难受是不言而喻……。

在现如今的多元化的社会中，戏曲它摆脱了喧器与浮华，边品茶边听，你定会感到超脱的自然与宁静，它的古老清新，不似“流星”那般短暂璀璨。它以古老的文化屹立与与我们的血液中，它是永恒的历史文化。

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and expressgratitude in general. It is a holidaycelebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.

The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on

September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida[1][2], the traditional "first Thanksgiving" is venerated as having occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621.

Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends.

Thanksgiving Dayin America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holidaymeals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giantballoons.

在美国，感恩节是一个感谢恩赐，家庭团聚，合家欢宴的日子；是一个家家餐桌上都有火鸡、填料、南瓜馅饼的日子；是一个充满了印第安玉米、假日游行和巨型气球的日子。

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November, which this year (2005) is November 24th.

每年十一月的最后一个星期四是感恩节，在今年（2005）则是11月24日。下面让我们来看看感恩节的由来吧：

The Pilgrims who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the English Separatist Church (a Puritan sect). They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religious persecution. There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventually became disenchantedwith the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to finance a pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflower were non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the companys

interests. Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

乘"五月花"来到这个国度的旅行者（朝圣者）原本是英国分离者地下x会清教徒，他们的家在英国，因不堪忍受国内的宗教迫害，他们逃亡到荷兰。在荷兰，他们享受了更多的宗教信仰自由，但最终却意识到在荷兰的这种生活方式是对他们的主的亵渎。为了寻求更好的生活，他们与伦敦贸易公司协商，由该公司资助他们到美国。在这趟旅途中，船上只有大约1/3的乘客是清教徒，其他大多数人并非分离派清教徒，而是公司雇佣来保护其利益的人员（契约奴）。

The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. Their first winter was devastating. At the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast -- including 91 Indians who

had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. It is believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year without the help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvest festival than a true "thanksgiving" observance. It lasted three days.

1620年12月11日，旅行者们在"普利茅斯石"登陆。他们的第一个冬季是灾难性的，第二年秋天来临时，原来的102名乘客只剩下56人。但1621年他们获得了大丰收，这些幸存的殖民者们决定和帮助他们度过困难的91名印第安人一起飨宴庆祝。他们相信，若没有当地居民的帮助，他们是不可能度过这一年的。这次节日的盛宴不仅仅是一个"感恩"仪式，它更像英国传统的丰收庆典。庆典持续了三天。

Governor William Bradford sent "four men fowling" after wild ducks and geese. It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, it is certain that they had venison. The term "turkey" was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.

总督布雷德福派了“四人捕鸟队”去捕捉野鸭和野鹅。我们现在并不能确定是否有野生火鸡在当时的筵席上，但筵席上肯定有鹿肉。当时，朝圣者用 "火鸡"一词来代表各种野禽。

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie. But it is unlikely that the first feast included that treat. The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread or pastries of any kind. However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced a type of fried bread from their corn

crop. There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter. There was no

domestic cattle for dairy products, and the newly-discovered potatowas still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous. But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums.

现在，几乎每家感恩节餐桌上都有南瓜馅饼――感恩节的另一种主食。但在当年的第一次庆典上却不可能有这种食品。因为面粉奇缺，所以面包、馅饼、糕点等食物都没有。但他们却吃了煮南瓜，并用收获的玉米制成了一种油炸面包。也没有牛奶、苹果酒、土豆和黄油。没有驯养的奶牛，自然没有牛奶；而新发现的土豆被很多欧洲人认为是有毒的。第一次庆典上有鱼、草莓、豆瓣菜、龙虾、干果、蛤、鹿肉、李子等。

This "thanksgiving" feast was not repeated the following year. But in 1623, during a severe drought, the pilgrims gathered in a prayer service, praying for rain. When a long, steady rain followed the very next day, Governor Bradford proclaimed another dayof Thanksgiving, again inviting their Indian friends. It wasnt until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed.

紧接着的第二年(1622)却没有举行"感恩"庆典。到了1623年，发生了一场严重的旱灾，朝圣者们聚集到一起，举行了虔诚的祁雨仪式，刚好在第二天，一场充沛的大雨从天而降。威廉布雷德福总督宣布再次庆祝感恩节，并再次邀请了他们的印第安朋友。之后数年无感恩节，直到1676年6月，感恩节才再次被提出。 每年11月的第四个星期四是感恩节 (Thanksgiving Day) 。感恩节是美国人民独创的一个古老节日，也是美国人合家欢聚的节日，因此美国人提起感恩节总是倍感亲切。

感恩节的由来要一直追溯到美国历史的发端。1620年，著名的“五月花”号船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天，他们遇到了难以想象的困难，处在饥寒交迫之中，冬天过去时，活下来的移民只有50来人。这时，心地善良的印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品，还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的帮助下，移民们终于获得了丰收，在欢庆丰收的日子，按照宗教传统习俗，移民规定了感谢上帝的日子，并决定为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助，邀请他们一同庆祝节日。

在第一个感恩节的这一天，印第安人和移民欢聚一堂，他们在黎明时鸣放礼炮，列队走进一间用作教堂的屋子，虔诚地向上帝表达谢意，然后点起篝火举行盛大宴会。第二天和第三天又举行了摔跤、赛跑、唱歌、跳舞等活动。第一个感恩节非常成功。其中许多庆祝方式流传了300多年，一直保留到今天。

初时感恩节没有固定日期，由各州临时决定。直到美国独立后的1863年，林肯总统宣布感恩节为全国性节日

Qing Ming is a time to remember the dead and the dearly departed. More important, it is a period to honour and to pay respect to ones deceased ancestors and family members. Because it reinforces the ethic of filial piety, Qing Ming is a major Chinese festival.

Literally meaning "clear" (Qing) and "bright" (Ming), this Chinese festival falls in early spring, on the 106th day after the winter solstice. It is a "spring" festival, and it is an occasion for the whole family to leave the home and to sweep the graves of their forebears. Chinese being practical people this sweeping of the graves is given an extended period, that is, 10 days before and after Qing Ming day. Among some dialect groups a whole month is allocated.

清明节是一个纪念祖先的节日。主要的纪念仪式是扫墓，扫墓是慎终追远、郭亲睦邻及行孝的具体表现;基于上述意义，清明节因此成为华人的重要节日。 清明节是在仲春和暮春之交，也就是冬至后的106天。扫墓活动通常是在清明节的前十天或后十天。有些地域的人士的扫墓活动长达一个月。

ORIGIN(起源)

Qing Ming is popularly associated with Jie Zi Zhui, who lived in Shanxi province in 600 B.C. Legend has it that Jie saved his starving lords life by serving a piece of his own leg. When the lord succeeded in becoming the ruler of a small principality, he invited his faithful follower to join him. However, Jie declined his invitation, preferring to lead a hermits life with his mother in the mountains.

Believing that he could force Jie out by burning the mountain, the lord ordered his men to set the forest on fire. To his consternation, Jie chose to remain where he was and was burnt to death. To commemorate Jie, the lord ordered all fires in every home to be put out on the anniversary of Jies death. Thus began the "cold food feast", a day when no food could be cooked since no fire could be lit.

The "cold food" festival occurs on the eve of Qing Ming and is often considered as part of the Qing Ming festival. As time passes, the Qing Ming festival replaced the "cold food" festival. Whatever practice is observed，the basic observation of Qing Ming is to remember ones elders by making a special effort to visit their graves, ashes or ancestral tablets. To make the visit even more meaningful, some time should be spent to remind the younger members of the family of the lives and contributions of their ancestors, and the story of Jie Zi Zhui who choose death over capitulation.

谈到清明节，有点历史知识的人，都会联想到历史人物介子椎。据历史记载，在两千多年以前的春秋时代，晋国公子重耳逃亡在外，生活艰苦，跟随他的介子椎不惜从自己的腿上割下一块肉让他充饥。后来，重耳回到晋国，作了国君(即晋文公，春秋五霸之一)，大事封赏所有跟随他流亡在外的随从，惟独介子椎拒绝接受封赏，他带了母亲隐居绵山。

晋文公无计可施，只好放火烧山，他想，介子椎孝顺母亲，一定会带着老母出来。谁知这场大火却把介子椎母子烧死了。为了纪念介子椎，晋文公下令每年的这一天，禁止生火，家家户户只能吃生冷的食物，这就是寒食节的来源。

寒食节是在清明节的前一天，古人常把寒食节的活动延续到清明，久而久之，清明取代了寒食节。拜介子椎的习俗也变成了清明扫墓的习俗了。无论以何种形式纪念，为了使纪念祖先的仪式更有意义，我们应该让年轻一代的家庭成员了解先人过去的奋斗历史，当然，还要学习介子椎宁死不屈的气节。

三年级的时候，妈妈送给了我一个好看的文具盒，她想让我进步得更快，于是就把它送给了我。

这个文具盒有蓝有白。蓝色是大海的颜色，白色的云彩的颜色。

它是一个长方体，样子很像手机，也有像手机的功能。有听音乐、有照相……那时我多么希望这个手机文具盒是真正的手机，那样我就可以拍大自然中的风景，也可以在清静当中听一听优美的音乐，好像自己进入了仙境。

它的功能就更多了。只要我按一下一个按钮，就会弹出来一个小方格，那是橡皮娃娃的家，胖胖的橡皮娃娃正在呼呼睡大觉呢!只要一打开盒盖，钢笔、铅笔、中性笔，它们都劳累一天了，到了明天早晨，它们又将进入火热的劳动中。

有一天，我的文具盒忽然掉到了地上摔坏了。刚刚用完的笔全都摔出了文具盒。它们好像在说：“干什么?我们刚刚睡着了，就被摔醒了。我连忙把文具和文具盒放到了桌子上。我看着坏了的文具盒非常痛心。我想：这么好看的文具盒，怎么能说坏就坏呢?这可是妈妈送给我的宝贝呀!我冥思苦想，到底是扔，还是不扔呢?可是思想好像在和我做对一样。一会想：反正已经坏了，用不成了，一会儿又想：不行，这可是妈妈送我的宝贝呀，我还要把它留作纪念呢。

文具盒，你就像和我形影不离的兄弟。当我写作业写累的时候，你告诉我：坚持就是胜利;当我的作业得到老师的好评时，你又告诉我：不要骄傲，一定要继续努力。我爱你，文具盒!

我要向大家介绍的是蒲公英种子飞行的过程。

蒲公英是草本科植物，植株高一般是在10至25厘米之间。根非常长。茎杆十分细弱。蒲公英的花早上张开，晚上合拢。蒲公英还能制作药材，它具有清热解毒、消肿散结、美容养颜等功效。但是最主要是它的种子有飘行特点。

蒲公英的种子的生长期中有开花、结果和飘行三个阶段。

开花。蒲公英的花是黄色的，花期为2至3天，白天花儿张开，到了晚上就合拢起来。

结果。蒲公英结果的时候花苞的总苞不再张开了，果实成熟就呈现出一团白色的伞状，然后就等待风的到来，将其传播出去。

飘行，这应该是蒲公英一生中最令人印象深刻的过程了。蒲公英的花盘从略微下凹到慢慢凸起，这是为了更方便散开种子。等到风来了，蒲公英的种子就飞了起来，当然蒲公英种子上面有许多像刺一样凸起的东西，那是它在落地的时候可以钩住周围物体而能停留下来，不会随风摆布。落到地上的蒲公英种子，过了几天就开始发芽、长叶。新的一代就这样诞生了。

蒲公英与其他植物的繁殖不同，他有独特的快乐之旅，看完蒲公英的飘行过程，我不得不佩服大自然的伟大和神奇。

今年的清明节是个难忘的日子，因为我要去扫墓。

那天早晨，我按捺不住激动的心情，早早地起了床，在易校长的带领下出发了。一路上欢声笑语不断，同学们个个心潮澎湃。终于期待已久的故居——韶山出现在我们眼前，我们像快乐的小鸟一样下了车。

首先我们来到瞻仰主席的故居，里面收拾得井井有条，每样用品都是那么简陋，让人简直不敢相信。这样勤俭节约的主席怎能让人不爱戴呢?想想自己平时的铺张浪费，真让人觉得惭愧呀!

怀着无比崇敬之情，我们又来到了铜像广场。那儿早已聚集了来自五湖四海祭奠主席的人群，我们也加入了他们的行列。作为这次扫墓的主持人，我更是激动不已。“天空为今天垂泪，松柏为今天呜咽。”我饱含深情地说着，眼前仿佛浮现出光辉形象。在我的带动下我们庄严地向主席三鞠躬，来表达我们深深的敬意。是啊，祖国也以现代化飞速发展的现实来告慰您的英魂，您安息吧!随着哀乐，我们全体默哀一分钟。世界不会忘记您，共和国不会忘记您，我们更不会忘记您。近百年黑暗与屈辱的历史，将中国推向了深渊，是您带领中国共产党，使中国从此站了起来，走出了水深火热之中。我们为有您这样的主席而骄傲。

我们还参观了纪念馆和遗物馆。最后我们依依不舍地离开了韶山，在回家的路上，我的心情久久不能平静，我们一定要珍惜现在的幸福生活，好好学习，长大了为祖国做贡献。
