每年的公历四月五日前后为清明节，是二十四节气之一。今年的清明节是4月4日。在二十四个节气中，既是节气又是节日的只有清明。清明节是我国传统节日，也是最重要的祭祀节日。按照旧的习俗，祭祀(扫墓)时，人们要携带酒食果品、纸钱等物品到墓地，将食物供祭在亲人墓前，再将纸钱焚化，为坟墓培上新土，折几枝嫩绿的新枝插在坟上，然后叩头行礼祭拜，最后吃掉酒食回家。清明节，又叫踏青节，正是春光明媚草木吐绿的时节，也正是人们春游的好时候，所以古人有清明踏青，并开展一系列体育活动的的习俗。直到今天，清明节祭拜祖先，悼念已逝的亲人的习俗仍很盛行。

Celebrated two weeks after the vernal equinox， Tomb Sweeping Day is one of the few traditional Chinese holidays that follows the solar calendar-- typically falling on April 4， 5， or 6.

Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness，" hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures， Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature， while marking the beginning of the planting season and other outdoor activities.

Qing Ming Jiein Ancient Times

An old man takes one last look before leaving the City Cemetery at Biandanshan of Wuhan， Central Chinas Hubei Province.In ancient times， people celebrated Qing Ming Jie with dancing， singing， picnics， and kite flying. Colored boiled eggs would be broken to symbolize the opening of life. In the capital， the Emperor would plant trees on the palace grounds to celebrate the renewing nature of spring. In the villages， young men and women would court each other.

The Tomb Sweeping Day as Celebrated Today

With the passing of time， this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion， the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy， and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.

Today， Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled， and dirt swept away， and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home altar， the offerings at the tomb usually consist of

dry， bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area， the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors， and not be plundered by strangers.

Honoring Ancestors

Honoring ancestors begins with proper positioning of a gravesite and coffin. Experts in feng shui， or geomancy， determine the quality of land by the surrounding aspects of streams， rivers， trees， hills， and so forth. An area that faces south， with groves of pine trees creates the best flow of cosmic energy required to keep ancestors happy. Unfortunately， nowadays， with Chinas burgeoning population， public cemetaries have quickly surplanted private gravesites. Family elders will visit the gravesite at least once a year to tend to the tombs.

While bland food is placed by the tombs on Qing Ming Jie， the Chinese regularly provide scrumptious offerings to their ancestors at altar tables in their homes. The food usually consists of chicken， eggs， or other dishes a deceased ancestor was fond of. Accompanied by rice， the dishes and eating utensils are carefully arranged so as to bring good luck. Sometimes， a family will put burning incense with the offering so as to expedite the transfer of nutritious elements to the ancestors. In some parts of China， the food is then eaten by the entire family.Kites

Besides the traditions of honoring the dead， people also often fly kits on Tomb Sweeping Day. Kites can come in all kinds of shapes， sizes， and colors. Designs could include frogs， dragonflies， butterflies， crabs， bats，and storks.

今天，就是清明节，按照习俗今天我们这些晚辈要去拜祭祖先，我一直都不喜欢清明节，因为我很怕鬼。我一直都对坟墓这些东西很有成见，今天我几乎是被父亲又拖又拉的求着去的，我的心中有着说不出的怀恋和感动。

在路上，我问父亲我们今天去拜祭谁？父亲说他几乎全都想去，但他的姥姥他不想去。我十分的疑惑，问父亲为什么不去拜祭父亲的姥姥呢？父亲说在它小时候，父亲的姥姥经常打他，还赶他出去，不过父亲成才他姥姥也有一份功劳吧！此时，我的心思绪万千：世间的是也许就是如此吧，古代的不打不成才应在了父亲身上。这时风猛猛的吹，好像它们也被着带着淡淡忧伤的节日感染了。我们首先来到我父亲的爷爷的祖坟，风吹着树叶的飒飒声，像是一场怀恋亲人的音乐会，小鸟的伴奏声也成了独特的声线。大人们在慢慢的除草，眼中布满了对死去的亲人的怀恋之情。草慢慢的除着，但我知道他们是用一种简单的方式来表达对亲人的思恋，开始上香了。空气中迷漫着一种混浊的气息，气息中还有一种难闻的酸酸的味道。我又在思索：这味道是香的味道还是思恋的味道？开始烧纸钱、倒白酒了。表面上看上去是一种仪式，但我认为这是一种特别的尊敬，这是一种对灵魂的特殊纪念仪式。看来，思恋的情绪是会传染人的，连我那不是怎么会动手的父亲也动脑动手做了几个花圈和几个花束。

潇潇洒洒清明风，纷纷扬扬亲人情

清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂，

借问酒家何处有，牧童遥指杏花村。

我们拜祭是还时不时有一家人来到旁边，跪下。纸钱在烧着，只见得有一个人在磕头，嘴里念叨着：“爸，给您送些钱，在那边多买些好吃的。在这边吃了一辈子苦，现在可以享享福了……”风儿在吹着，那些人带着忧伤，在风中离去

风还在猛猛的吹着，风中依然带着一丝丝忧伤，不知我是否是被着忧伤的气息感染了，感觉鼻子酸酸的，又一种想哭的冲动。我想对那些已经死去的祖先说：祖先们，你们走好，我们一家人很好，你们呢？一定在天堂过着幸福简单的生活吧！我一定会努力，尽量是“赖”着个姓式名扬全天下。你们也在九泉之下安心了。

这次的清明拜祭结束了，但我的心却久久不能平静下来，心中还不时涌起“千层浪”，我保证，这“千层浪”一定在我的“记忆海”中留下美丽的浪花。我们静静的轻轻的离开了，似乎怕扰乱祖先的清梦。明年我还要来，我下次要用自己的成绩来给祖先“拜祭”。清明的怀恋，把大家都感染了，清明的怀恋，是一副无声，无色的美丽相片。清明进行时，你又在怀恋谁？谁又在怀恋你呢？忧伤的气息再次弥漫起来！

I hope to study both English and computer technology because I am interested in both of the subjects.  Maybe one day I could combine both of them and apply to my research in the future.

Dear David,

I am writing to tell you something about the square dance in China. In the morning or after dinner, people, especially elderly women, will gather in squares to dance to popular music. More and more young people are also joining in now.

There are many reasons behind its popularity. First of all,China has made great progress in its social and economical development in the past decades, and people have more time and energy to enjoy themselves. Besides,doing the square dance is a good way for people to keep fit.

However, just as each coin has two sides,this kind of dance has also leads to some problems. For example, dancers play loud music and occupy lots of public places, which annoy many other people.Maybe square dancers need to make some changes.

Yours,

LiHua

亲爱的戴维，

我写信是要告诉你关于在中国广场舞的东西。在早上或晚饭后，人们，特别是老年妇女，将聚集在广场跳舞流行音乐。现在越来越多的年轻人也加入进来。

它的流行背后有许多原因。首先，中国在过去几十年的社会和经济发展取得了巨大进步，人们有更多的时间和精力去享受自己。此外，做广场舞是人们保持健康的好方法。

然而，正如每个硬币都有两面一样，这种舞蹈也导致了一些问题。例如，舞者大声地演奏音乐，占据了许多公共场所，这让许多人感到不安。

你的好朋友，

李华

The name Christmas is short for Christs Mass. A Mass is a kind of Church service. Christmas is a religious festival. It is the day we celebrate as the birthday of Jesus.

There are special Christmas services in Christian churches all over the world. But many of the festivities of Christmas do not have anything to do with religion. Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the Christmas in the world.

The birth of Jesus had a story: In Nazareth, a city of Galilee. The virgins name was Mary was betrothed to Joseph. Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. While he thought about these things, Gabriel, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take Mary as wife. And Mary will bring forth a Son, and he shall call his name, Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.

Before Jesus births, Joseph and Mary came to Quintus was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up out of Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And that, Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Jesus, is on 25th, December every year. But nobody know the actual birthday of Jesus. And the Christmas has become popular when Christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth Century.

【参考译文】

“圣诞节”这个名称是“基督弥撒”的缩写。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。圣诞节是一个宗教节日我们把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝，因而又名耶诞节。

这一天，世界所有的基督教会都举行特别的礼拜仪式。但是有很多圣诞节的欢庆活动和宗教并无半点关联。交换礼物，寄圣诞卡，这都使圣诞节成为一个普天同庆的日子。

耶稣的出生是有一段故事的，耶稣是因着圣灵成孕，由童女马利亚所生的。神更派遣使者加伯列在梦中晓谕约瑟，叫他不要因为马利亚未婚怀孕而不要她，反而要与她成亲，把那孩子起名为“耶稣”，意思是要他把百姓从罪恶中救出来。

当马利亚快要临盆的时候，罗马政府下了命令，全部人民到伯利恒务必申报户籍。约瑟和马利亚只好遵命。他们到达伯利恒时，天色已昏，无奈两人未能找到旅馆渡宿，只有一个马棚可以暂住。就在这时，耶苏要出生了!於是马利亚唯有在马槽上，生下耶苏。

圣诞节便始于十二月二十五日纪念耶苏的诞生，但真实的诞生日就没有人知道了。十九世纪，圣诞卡的流行、圣诞老人的出现，圣诞节也开始流行起来了。

Turpan is located in a depression with the area of more than 1000 square kilometers of the eastern part of Xinjiang and some 80 meters below the sea level. And nearby the Moon Lake， or Eding Lake in local language， the lowest water surface is 154 meters below the sea level， the second lowest continental point in the world after the Dead Sea. Turpan is called the Land of Fire， which was derived from the intense summer temperature， the highest ever recorded was 47.5oC and in summer the ground surface temperature is about 70oC. The Depression is characterized by high temperature and rare perspiration， so it is hot but it is not wet， during summer， although it is extremely hot， the streets are full of people.

The water from the surrounding mountains and underflow nourishes the depression. And the local people developed a unique irrigation system: ”Karez”， by which water is introduced to the agricultural oasis surrounded by desert. Turpan is famous for its grapes produce. Once in Turpan Depression， one has a feeling that as if he was in a land of grapes， The Grape Gauge， about 8 kilometers in length， is one with grapevines grown on the slopes of the both sides， and deep into the Gauge， there is a tourist resort， shaded by grapevines and from late June to early October， clusters of grapes hanging overhead and the mineral water flowing from under the rocks make the resort a great attraction. In fact， the city proper itself is one that is surrounded or covered by grapevines. Many streets themselves are vineyards or trellises with grapevines， together with the fruit stands the whole city is a mixture of the fruit orchard and market， since 1990， the Grape festival held in the city becomes a great attraction not only to business people， but people from all over the world.

In history， Turpan was the capital of ancient Gaochang Kingdom (from the sixth century) and later the administration residence of Xizhou. It was a very important juncture on the Silk Road through which the western cultures and Chinese culture encountered and crashed and exchanged. A great many historical sites and cultural relics have remained. And the city is known as a “natural museum of man and culture.

The major tour sites of the area of the Northern Part of South Xijiang centered by Turpan: the Flaming Mountains， the Moon Lake， Grape Gouge， Karez System， the Ruins of ancient City of Jiaohe， the ruins of ancient City of Gaochang， Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves， Emin Minaret， Astan-Kharakhoja Tombs， Sand Dune Park， the Sand Plant Park.

1、But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

清明节不仅是扫墓的日子，还是让我们共同怀念过去的日子。

2、 In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.

过去，清明节称为“植树节”。但是从1979年开始，植树节定为3月12日。

The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The Qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the Qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the Qingming, they were later combined.

On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the Qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the Qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tie

d onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The Qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.

1、Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness," hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures, Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature, while marking the beginning of the planting season and other outdoor activities.
