April Fool’s Day is coming! But do you know how April Fool’s Day comes?
In the sixteenth century in France, the start of the New Year was on April 1st. People celebrated the
New Year in the same way as it is today. They held parties and danced into the late night.
Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar into the Christian(基督教的)world, and the
new year fell on January 1st. Some people didn’t believe the change in the date, so they celebrated the New
Year on April 1st. Others played tricks on them and called them “April fools”.
Today Americans play small tricks on friends on the first day of April. One common trick on April
Fool’s Day is pointing down to a friend’s shoe and saying, “Your shoelace is untied.” School children like
to tell a classmate that there are no classes. Then if someone believes the trick, he or she will be called the
“April fool”! People play tricks on each other only because they want to enjoy themselves together. Most
jokes are really funny and people play tricks not to hurt anyone but to find happiness.

You see people in movies celebrating a white Christmas in England or the United States. But
Christmas in Australia is different.
Australians celebrate the holiday on Dec.25th. It is at the hottest time of the year in Australia. The
temperature is usually about 30°C in most cities and can even be over 40°C．There is certainly no white
Christmas in Australia.
Because it is so hot, the tradition is to have a lunch outside and to swim in the pool or beach. Most
people have a one－week holiday during this time, so they will travel to meet their family for Christmas
lunch. Christmas lunch is usually a big meal of ham, turkey, salad and fresh seafood. Family members all
cook something different and bring it to the big meal. I always enjoy Christmas lunch because there are lots
of good cooks in my family. One year my aunt even made a delicious gingerbread house(姜饼屋) for us to
eat as dessert.
Children get presents from Santa Claus and are always excited to play with them. It is a fun time to
play or swim in the pool with the other members of your family.
The sport of cricket(板球) is very popular in Australia and another tradition is to play a game of
cricket in your backyard. I always enjoyed playing with my uncle and cousins when I was growing up.
So Australia might not have a white Christmas. But it is still a very exciting and fun time of the year.

In Britain．Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th，which is the following day after
Christmas Day．However，strictly speaking．Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas．Like
Christmas Day．Boxing Day sing a public holiday．This means it’s a non﹣working day in the whole of
Britain．When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday，the following Monday is the public holiday．
The exact origin（起源）of the holiday is unclear．One of the thoughts is that during the Middle
Ages，when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land，a Christmas Box was placed by a
priest （神父）on each ship．Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into
the box．It wassealed upand kept on board until the ship came home safely．Then the box was handed
over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing．The
priest wouldn’t open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas．
One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers (做
礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas，that is
why that day became know as Boxing Day．
Today，many businesses，organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day
alive by donating（捐赠）their time，services and money to aid Food Banks，providing gifts for the
poor，or helping families in need．Besides，spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing
Day activities now．

Every year on the second Sunday of May, Americans celebrate Mother’s Day. They spend the day with
their mothers and give flowers or gifts to their mothers to show their thanks and love.
It was another Mother’s Day, but the young mother was a little unhappy, because she was 800 miles
away from her parents. In the morning she phoned her mother to wish her a happy Mother’s Day, and her
mother told her about the beautiful lilacs（丁香花）in the garden.
Later that day, when she told her husband about the lilacs, he said, “I know where we can find all that
you want. Get the children and come on.” So they went, driving down the country roads.
There, on a small hill, they saw a lot of beautiful purple lilacs. The young woman ran quickly to enjoy
the flowers. Carefully, she picked a few here and a few there. On their way home there was a smile on her
face.
When they were passing a nursing home, the young woman saw an old granny sitting in a chair. She
had no children with her. They stopped the car and the young woman walked to the old woman, put the
flowers in her hands, and smiled at her. The old granny thanked her again and again. She smiled happily,
too.
When the young mother came back to her car, her children asked her, “Who is that old granny? Why
did you give our flowers to her?” “I don’t know her,” their mother said. “But it’s Mother’s Day, and she
has no children. I have all of you, and I still have my mother. Just think how much those flowers meant to
her.”
