母親節
Mother"s Day was first suggested in the United States in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe as a day dedicated to peace. A campaign to establish a National Mother"s Day was begun in 1907. It was successful, by 1911 Mother"s Day was celebrated in almost every state in recognition of[1] the influence mothers have in the making of better citizens.
In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed that the birthday of Mrs. Anna Reeves Jarvis, the "mother of Mother"s Day[2] ", would become the National Mother"s Day of the United States. And that from then on, the second Sunday in May would be Mother"s Day in memory of the work Mrs. Jarvis had done to bring families together after the Civil war, her work to bring the whole North and South together, her work to honor all the mothers of America throughout history and on into the future, but most of all to honor Mrs. Anna Reeves Jarvis as America"s National Mother. President Wilson asked that the American people fly the United States flag from public buildings and homes on that day as he said, as a public expression of our love and reverence[3] for the mothers of our country.
Well, what value is Mother"s Day now? As the Congress said in 1914, it reminds people of[4] the influence mothers have had in the making of better citizens. Jarvis was one such mother. On Mother"s Day much attention is given to the important part that each mother plays in giving her children a sense of what is right and what is wrong, what is good behavior and what is bad.
If the observances[5] of Mother"s Day can even in a small way remind mothers of this, then this day will help both the families and the whole country.
聖誕節
Origin of Christmas The name Christmas is short for "Christ's 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 orld. The birth of Jesus had a story: In Nazareth, a city of Galilee. The virgin's 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.
復活節
Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the most important feast in the Christian calendar. The churches are filled with worshipers, the altars are decorated with flowers, and the music proclaims the joy of the season.
Easter Sunday falls sometime between March 22 and April 25. It falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following March 21. The date of Easter Sunday was established by the church council of Nicaea in A.D. 325.
Easter Sunday ends a period of preparation for the feast of Easter. This 40-day period of prayer and fasting, called Lent, begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. The week from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday is known as Holy Week. Good Friday marks Christ's crucifixion; and Easter Sunday, his resurrection.
The custom of a sunrise service on Easter Sunday can be traced to ancient spring festivals that celebrated the rising sun. The custom developed further in the Middle Ages, when celebrations at sunrise were also popular. People gathered to pray as the sun appeared and then went in procession to their churches.
The new clothes worn on Easter Sunday are a symbol of new life. The custom comes from the baptism on Easter Sunday of early Christians who were led into church wearing new robes of white linen. The present-day Easter parade has a parallel in the Middle Ages, when people walked about the country-side on Easter, stopping along the way to pray. Nowadays many people walk in Easter parades to show and see new spring clothes, especially hats.

The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."
【譯文】
老貓
一位老婦有隻貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。
於是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：「不要打你的老僕人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還願意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這么無情，要記
住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。」
A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the st.
He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the st and eat them.
Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
【譯文】
一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去，當他沿著路走時，在路的一邊他發現一箱好蘋果，他說：「我不打算吃那些蘋果，因為富人會給我更多的食物，他會給我很好吃的東西。」然後他拿起蘋果，一把扔到土裡去。
他繼續走，來到河邊，河漲水了，因此，他到不了河對岸，他等了一會兒，然後他說：「今天我去不了富人家了，因為我不能渡過河。」
他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的，他找到蘋果，很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。

「No， it isn't very nice， but it's very useful，Tom，」answered his father．「It rains to make the fruit and the vegetables grow for us， and to make the grass grow for the cows and sheep．」
Tom thought about this for a few seconds， and then he said，「Then，why does it rain on the road too， Father？」

「是呀，下雨是不太好，可是下雨也有很多有益的地方，湯姆。」父親回答說。「老天爺下雨促使了為我們所食用的水果和蔬菜的生長，同樣也促使牛羊所吃的青草的生長。」
湯姆對父親的這番話想了一會，然後說：「那麼，父親，老天爺為什麼還要把雨下在路上呢？」

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country. 總的來說在中國最重要的節日是春節,亦稱中國新年。對中國人民來說它的重要性就如方聖誕節對於西方人民。這個一年一次的節日日期取決於陰歷而不是格里歷，因此假日的時間變化從一月下旬到上旬2月。對普通的中國人，節日總是在除夕夜開始,結束於陰歷的第一個月的第五天。 但1第一個月的15號，通常稱燈會，在國家的大部分地區意味春節的正式結尾。
The Wolf and the Crane狼與鷺鷥
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed:
Why, you have surely already had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf." In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.
狼誤吞下了一塊骨頭，十分難受，四處奔走，尋訪醫生。他遇見了鷺鷥，談定酬金請他取出骨頭，鷺鷥把自己的頭伸進狼的喉嚨里，叼出了骨頭，便向狼要定好的酬金。狼回答說：「喂，朋友，你能從狼嘴裡平安無事地收回頭來，難道還不滿足，怎麼還要講報酬？」 這故事說明，對壞人行善的報酬，就是認識壞人不講信用的本質

The Dragonboat Festival(龍舟節）
The Dragonboat Festival takes place on the fifth day of lunar[lju:nE] month, usually around the summar solstice. It probably started as a festival to celebrate the planting of the rice crop and to pray for a good rainfall. Long ago, people believed that dragons controlled rivers and rain. They put offerings in the rivers so that the dragons would bring rain for crops.
The highlight of the festival today is the dragonboat race.dragonboats are long, narrow boats with a carved dragon's head at one end and a tail at the other. Up to 80 rovers paddle together. A coxswain sits in the front of the boat and shouts directions and sets the pace for the rowers using a large drum. The races are very noisy and exciting. Teams try to trick each other into making a wrong move.Teams often come to blows with each other.

農歷五月初五是中國傳統節日龍舟節，大致在夏至前後。這個節日很可能起源於人們慶祝水稻的種植和祈求降雨。以前，人們都相信龍控制著河流和降雨。他們把祭品放進河裡，以求龍為他們的莊稼降下甘霖。
現在，這個節日中最精彩的節目就是賽龍舟了。龍舟又細又長，一頭有一個精雕細鑿的龍頭，另一頭是龍尾。一條船能由80個水手來劃。船長坐在船頭指揮方向，並擊打大鼓來控制劃船的節奏。龍舟賽總是喊聲震天，激動人心。比賽團隊都試圖誘使對方偏離航向。隊伍之間還常常打鬥起來。
