X月X日这天是农历正月十五元宵节。这天家家户户要吃汤团、猜灯谜、放炮竹、赏花灯来庆祝元宵。

这天，爸爸教我包汤团。我们先把手洗干净，拿出一只碗。开始和面了，只见爸爸在碗里倒上大半的糯米粉，将少许水一点一点放进去，再用手绞了几下又放了点水。爸爸告诉我：注意每次放得水不能太多，少了可以再加，太多了会粘手。水够了，我和爸爸各分一半，我们用手来回的揉，直到不再粘手了，揉面的工序完成了。

开始包汤团了，我照着爸爸的样子，拿了一小团面，放在手掌中间挫一个小圆球，然后把右手的大拇指把插进刚揉好的面团，用筷子夹点芝麻馅放在刚弄的洞里，用四个手指配合大拇指一起往中间按，揉一揉又变成了圆形。我要把这个“半成品”放到碟子上面去时，爸爸叫住了我说：“儿子，这样放上去可能会粘的，在糯米粉里滚一滚就不粘了。”我照着爸爸的方法一试果然不粘了。照这样一连做了好几个，不一会二十个就完成了，个个洁白如玉，让人嘴馋。

晚上，我和爸爸到外面散步，此时的大街上灯火通明，四周挂满了火红的灯笼。天空闪耀着五彩的礼花，有的礼花在天空中像满天的星星一闪闪，有的似流星雨，一瞬间就消失在天际中。地上百子炮噼里啪啦的响个不停。小孩子手持烟花棒飞舞着，欢笑着。

我爱包汤团，但我更爱元宵节。

The food is indispensable in our life, is also what we most closely contact, so food safety becomes our life can not be ignored in safety. Take the things around me.

Our school gate, there are a number of vendors. Business is booming every day. Vendors some ice cream, and some also sell some pigment water... The delicious food in broad daylight, there seems to be a hand is extended in those little available to the school, but who knows whether the food is unqualified, is it safe?

In fact, a large number of outside food health situation is not ideal, there are many widespread substandard health food. Experts pointed out that these problems and no relevant guarantee food, great effects on the health of primary and middle school students. Although school everyday in said food safety problems, the students are still not care.

随着人们的生活水平越来越高，大家也越来越关注食品的这个问提，正所谓：“民以食为天，食以安为先。”这食物可是我们生活中必不可少的东西，也是我们接触最密切的东西，所以食品安全就成了我们生活中不可忽视的安全问题。就拿我身边的事情说吧。

我们学校门外，有不少的小摊小贩。每天生意总是兴隆。小贩们有的冰激凌，有的还卖有色素的水......那些光天化日下香喷喷的食物，似乎有一只手在向学校里那些小馋嘴伸去，可谁又知道这些食物是否合格，是否安全呢?

其实，大量校外食品都是卫生状况不理想，还有许多食物普遍存在卫生不达标的问题。有专家指出，这些存在问题且无相关保障食品，势必对中小学生身体健康造成很大影响。虽然学校天天都在说食品安全问题，可同学们仍毫不在乎。

我听说过一件事：有一天，一位同学放学后，感到很饿，虽老师今天讲过要不买垃圾食品。可他不放在心上，用五角钱买了冰激凌。在买时，他做了很大的思想斗争，最后，肚子在“咕咕”地叫声中提出了抗议，他买了冰激凌。他边津津有味地品尝着手中的美食，边大步流星地向家走去。可不幸的事最终还是发生了。就在第二天，他就拉肚子，不光自己难受，家长也担忧啊!这就是不听话乱买零食的下场。

Stress is a state of being upset that happens when we are under pressure.

Both our feelings and our bodies get upset.

We can even get emotionally and physically sick if we have too much stress

for too long. Stress can come at us from every direction. For instance, it can

come from fights with other people. It can come when we have too many things to

do and too little time to do them. It can also come when we do not have enough

money to pay for what we want. Since stress can make us sick, we have to learn

how to deal with it. There are good ways and bad ways to do so. We should deal

with stress in good ways, of course. Good ways to cut down on stress include

changing our lifestyles. For example, we can learn either to get along with

people or to stay away from them. We can decide what to do now, what to do

later, and what to leave off doing forever.

We can also figure out how to get money or we can cut down on what we want.

We should not deal with stress in bad ways because bad ways to cut down on

stress just lead to more troubles, for example, skipping out and leaving our

work undone, blaming our problems on someone else, stealing or cheating.

The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because

the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people

called Night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the

day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.

According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year,

when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands

of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate.

At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat

yuanxiao and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.

农历的第15天是中国的元宵节，因为农历的第一个月叫做元月，在古代人们叫“夜晓”。第15天是第一个看到满月的夜晚。所以这一天也被称为中国的“元宵节”。

根据中国的传统，在新年伊始，当天空中挂着一个明亮的圆月时，人们会将成千上万的彩灯挂在外面，让人们欣赏。

在这个时候，人们会努力解决灯笼上的谜题，吃元宵，让他们的家人在欢乐的气氛中团结起来。

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ， the founder of the Christian religion， is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the United States.

According to the Bible， the holy book of Christians， God decided to allow his only son， Jesus Christ， to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph， a carpenter， but before they came together， she was found to be with child. Because Joseph， her husband， was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace， he had in mind to p>

圣诞节只是基督徒庆祝其信仰的耶稣基督(jīdū)诞生的庆祝日。圣诞节的庆祝与基督教同时产生，被推测始于西元1世纪。很长时间以来圣诞节的日期都是没有确定的，因为耶稣确切的出生日期是存在争议的，除了《新约》以外，没有任何记载提到过耶稣;《新约》不知道日期，当然就没有人知道确切日期了。在西元后的头三百年间，耶稣的生日是在不同的日子庆祝的。西元3世纪以前的作家们想把圣诞日定在春分日上下。直到西元3世纪中期，基督教在罗马合法化以后，西元354年罗马主教指定儒略历12月25日为耶稣诞生日。现在的圣诞节日期跟西元纪年的创制是密不可分的。

西元纪年创制于西元5世纪，后来圣诞节这一天就按格里高利历法，即西元纪年的“公历”来确定了，而日历按着假定日期把时间分为公元前(耶稣基督诞生前)和公元后(A. D. 是拉丁文缩写，意思是“有了我们主--耶稣的年代”)。后来，虽然普遍教会都接受12月25日为圣诞节，但又因各地教会使用的历书不同，具体日期不能统一，
