History of April Fool’s day
The history of April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day is uncertain, but the current thinking is that it began around 1582 in France with the reform of the calendar under Charles IX. The Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved from March 25 - April 1 (new year's week) to January 1.
Communication traveled slowly in those days and some people were only informed of the change several years later. And some rebellious refused to acknowledge the change and continued to celebrate on the last day of the former celebration, April 1. As the result of it ,they were labeled "fools" by the general populace. The general populace also sent invitations to nonexistent parties and had other practical jokes played upon them. The butts of these pranks became known as a "April fish" because a young naive fish is easily caught. In addition, one common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke.
This harassment evolved over time and a custom of prank-playing continue on the first day of April. This tradition eventually spread elsewhere like to Britain and Scotland in the 18th century and was introduced to the American colonies by the English and the French. Because of this spread to other countries, April Fool's Day has taken on an international flavor with each country celebrating the holiday in its own way.

母亲的节日_亲情文章
作者:匿名
元宵夜,我开车载着母亲去看烟花,一条街转到另一条街,又从市区转到矿区,母亲高兴得像个孩子,头高高扬起,双眼紧盯夜空,嘴里不时发出哦或啊呀的惊叹。烟花看过了,彩灯也瞧过了,夜深了,该回家了,母亲靠在汽车座椅上,微微闭着眼,打着盹。我说,妈,我们回家吧,母亲怔了一下,自言自语地叹,唉,这年过得好快啊~
我知道母亲在叹息什么,是的,年过完了,一家人就得各奔东西各自忙碌去了,能整整齐齐聚集在母亲周围的时刻,无非是这节日,而生活,不可能每天都是节日。
今年是父亲辞世的第二年。怕母亲因节日而更添伤悲,同时,也为了能够更好地陪伴母亲,大家一致决定放下一切,全家春节一起去海南度假,这是父亲在世时的提议,父亲不在了,就由母亲来享受这天伦之乐吧。
母亲带了父亲的照片,我们就像面对着父亲一样,每天陪母亲打扑克,吃饭,喝酒,逗乐。母亲身体真是不错,度的白酒,一口下去,辣得眼泪都快忍不住了,可母亲连眉头都不皱一下,还一个劲儿地将我们的军,说连这点儿酒都喝不了,哪里像个年轻人~母亲岁,我们都已经人到中年,母亲眼里,大概我们仍是孩子。为了装得像个母亲眼里的年轻人,我们一帮中年儿女竭力附和她老人家,一杯接一杯地喝,然后,像小时候那样,挤在母亲的周围酣睡。母亲的身体仍是记忆中的那般温暖和柔软,母亲的眼神仍是旧日之时的那种慈祥和安然。躺在母亲身边,仿佛又回到了童年,可以撒娇,任性,躲在被窝里吃饼干
息心忘念无贪求,只看朝霞与晚霞。日子真是舒适、慵懒而无牵无挂,用女儿的话说,就是过着猪一样的美好生活,尽管是过节,是度假,但心里总觉忐忑又惶恐,大把的时间从杯盏、从扑克牌、从欢声笑语之间从容走过,我是在虚掷时光吗,可是,再看母亲,那样安详,安逸,是那种幸福的老人家模样,于是,又释然。如果不是出来过年,做子女的我们又有几个能够终日如此厮守、陪伴着容颜老去、一生操劳的母亲呢,小时候,贪玩的我们只有在吃饭时间才会意犹未尽拖拖拉拉地回到母亲等候多时的那张饭桌上;长大了,饭桌旁依然是母亲在守候,而我们却有种种理由不再天天回来与母亲一起吃节日的,或平常的一餐饭,我们的身边,是同样难得陪伴父母的同伴和朋友。
烟花次第燃放起来了,我们拥着母亲,在海口的高楼之上,在广阔的、无法看到尽头的夜之中,我们像母亲一样,仰起头,看那些腾空而起的烟花,那些旷世独美无法言说的烟花,在火烛的诱惑下,不管不顾,挣脱地面,跃上天空,展现她们瞬间的繁华与璀璨,然后寂灭,散落,回归大地。落红一片。多么像我们的人生,无论如何茁壮、叛逆、耀目、铺张,峥嵘岁月下,也终究是要回去,回到母亲的身旁,回到大地的怀抱。
于是,我默默许下心愿,虽然每一天不可能都是节日,而我们尽可以把每一天都当做是节日。在节日里,要让母亲开心,快乐,感受幸福~
犹记得很久很久以前的一个春节,哥哥姐姐们的压岁钱都轻易拿到了手,我迫不及待地上前,父亲却笑着要求,给我们磕个头,加倍给。那个时候,除了特别的、地主似的家庭,谁都没有零花钱,积攒了一年的许多想法全指望这点压岁钱来实现呢。可我不知哪里来的反抗意识,金钱面前,毫不动摇,转身就走,连原来那点也不肯再拿了。父母一生之中,居然没有享受过我们一次恭恭敬敬的叩拜~
一轮烟花完美收场,早春的风尚在与那一团团蓝色的氤氲纠缠,我们一字排开,一家一家轮流跪倒在母亲脚下,磕从未磕过的、长长的响头
身后,那张小小的照片,父亲,在笑~

范文三:自我保护的文章
自我保护
危险,像一个世界里的二氧化碳似的,到处都有它们的身影。危险我们都知道,可真要防护会有点麻烦。我们从小就要养成自我保护的习惯,才能真真正正做到保护自己。 首先,我们要学会观察。
2004年12月26日,印度洋印度海啸夺去了近20万人的宝贵生命。海啸来袭之前,在泰国普吉岛的麦考海滩上,一名美丽的小女孩一边跑一边急促地呼喊:“大家注意了,要发生海啸了!请大家快撤离海滩,躲到安全的地方去!”小女孩名叫蒂莉,只有10岁,是和父母从英国来泰国旅游的。海啸袭来之前,蒂莉正和妈妈在金色的海滩上玩耍。突然间,她发现大海有些异样——海水中泛起大量的气泡,海潮也突然快速地往后退。“不好,妈妈,要发生海啸了!”她冲着妈妈大声呼喊起来。“你怎么知道?”妈妈惊奇地问。“两周前老师刚给我们讲过关于海啸的知识。海潮突然神秘退去,是海啸来临的征兆之一。”“孩子,我相信你的判断。咱们马上招呼海滩上的游客和酒店里的客人,让他们迅速转移到安全的地方!”蒂莉的妈妈立即和饭店工作人员一起,将海滩上的所有游客及时疏散到了安全的地区。就在大家离开的数分钟后,巨大的海浪突然从潮岸边袭来,但万幸的是,没有出现人员伤亡情况。 然后,我们要想到该应对危险。
上学和放学的路上,最好与同学结伴而行,遇意外时可以互相帮助。不要单独到荒凉、偏僻 、灯光昏暗的地方。当发现有人一直跟着你时,你不用害怕,你可以尽快到繁华热闹的街道,商场等地方,想办法摆脱尾随者!还可以向路上大的机关单位求救,如去机关单位的值班室;向身边的大人求救;如果是在校门口,就给家里打电话,让大人来接。关键是当只有你一个人时,要有警惕性,多动脑筋!为此,生活中要多观察、记住家庭、学校周围的环境特点,尤其应熟悉派出所、治安岗亭、部队营区、大机关单位的地点。在紧急情况下,可以在这些地方得到帮助。
同学们,我们要学会怎样保护自己。生命只有一次,我们要好好珍惜。对吗,同学们?
范文四:传统节日的保护
传统节日的保护
我国56个民族,每个民族都有自己的节日。据统计,全国大大小小的节日达到3000多个,这是中华民族文化宝库中的一朵奇葩。
民族传统节日是历史积淀下来的,蕴涵着极高的文化价值和精神价值。它既是民族认同的基础,也是民族文化身份的标志,更是民族凝聚力和国家凝聚力的重要体现。保护和传承好我们的民族传统节日,进一步建立起对民族传统节日的虔敬情感,让民族传统节日发挥更重要的作用,已成为民族文化遗产保护的重要内容。
改革开放以后,外国文化开始涌入我国。情人节、圣诞节等一些洋节日作为“时尚”被一些人所追逐,在一定程度上影响了人们对我国传统文化的价值观。节日,与社会的每一个成员都有着密切的关联。因此,每个人都有责任思考一下,我们应该如何来保护和传承好我们的民族传统节日?过洋节本无可厚非,但不能忘记自己的民族节日。一个国家的传统节日有着深厚的民族文化内涵,对一个民族的发展有着重大的意义。传统节日是我们传统文化的一个组成部分。一个民族在世界上得以存在,得以和其他民族相区别,就在于她日积月累所形成的独有传统文化。中华民族之所以在世界上独树一帜,正是她几千年岁月的沉积而形成的中国固有的文化。中国的传统节日,不但是宝贵的精神财富,也是不可再生的文化资源。充分发掘传统节日的文化内涵,大力弘扬以爱国主义为核心的民族文化精神,对于构建社会主义和谐社会具有十分重要的意义。因此重视传统节日应从政府做起,充分挖掘文化内涵,加强传统文化宣传与教育,年轻人应重新去认识传统文化,增强对自己民族传统文化的自觉保护意识。
曾几何时,我们以五千年的文明历史历久弥香而自豪;曾几何时,我们以天下节日大备于中华而骄傲。又曾几何时,在不知不觉中那传承了几千年的骄傲与自豪渐渐弱化淡化,不知愁滋味之少年尚无法体会那份锥心之痛,而血性国人却理性地发出了拯救民族传统文化、传承千年文明精髓的呐喊!
社会物质的极大丰富湮没了平常日子与节假日的区别,我们已经不必等到过年添新衣、过年宰牛羊,天天都是好日子,天天都像过新年,真正到了年根儿底下,“年味儿”反而淡了。
城镇化、城市化建设悄悄地改变了沿袭几千年的社会结构,改变了民众的生活方式、生活节奏和人际关系,很多与农业、农村,与那种熟人社会相关联的传统节日,也随之失去了以往依托的节日背景,那种日出而作、日落而息、阡陌交通的充满田园气息的节味淡了。
“年味儿”、“节味儿”越来越淡,不但过节的内容和形式发生了变化,甚至人们内心曾经拥有过的那种憧憬与期盼也无从捡拾了。情人节、感恩节、愚人节和圣诞节等洋节日渐盛行,而且大有将我们沿袭了几千年的传统节日取而代之之势。许多青年对过圣诞节、情人节乐此不疲,而对中国节日,除了熟悉的“春节”、“元宵”、“中秋”等节日外,对“端午”、“七夕”、“重阳”等传统节日知之甚少,能记得端午节吃粽子、中秋节吃月饼,就算是有心人了。而对其中的节日文化似乎一概不知。
如今,传统节日的舞台上最活跃的、最能充分发挥节日文化功能的当属商家了,但大多是只求热闹,只问经济,只看效益。商场“血拼”,饭店折扣,来就有奖,买就赠送,中华民族传统节日中蕴涵的文化内涵却少有人问津。很少有人在节日气氛上、文化品位上、精神享受上做文章,更很少有人在传承和发展、发扬和丰富上下功夫。在某种程度上,中国传统节日已经蜕变为“吃喝玩乐”的假日,那份美好的节庆记忆在逐渐消失。
传统节日是一宗重大的民族文化遗产,它承载着丰厚的历史文化内涵,因此传承与建设同样重要。
在人们生活水平普遍提高、追求更高生活品位和多样化的精神愉悦方式的今天,传统节日也应随时代不断发展,吐故纳新,赋予传统节日更多的现代意义和时代气息,让我们的节日也时尚起来,年轻起来,丰富和创新庆祝活动的形式,真正成为中国人越过越新的节日,实现传统与现代的自然衔接。

Spring FestivalThe Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.
The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one month later than the Gregorian calendar. It originated in the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 BC-c. 1100 BC) from the people's sacrifice to gods and ancestors at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one.
Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.
Many customs accompany the Spring Festival. Some are still followed today, but others have weakened.
On the 8th day of the 12th lunar month, many families make laba porridge, a delicious kind of porridge made with glutinous rice, millet, seeds of Job's tears, jujube berries, lotus seeds, beans, longan and gingko.
The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is called Preliminary Eve. At this time, people offer sacrifice to the kitchen god. Now however, most families make delicious food to enjoy themselves.
After the Preliminary Eve, people begin preparing for the coming New Year. This is called "Seeing the New Year in".
Store owners are busy then as everybody goes out to purchase necessities for the New Year. Materials not only include edible oil, rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also fruit, candies and kinds of nuts. What's more, various decorations, new clothes and shoes for the children as well as gifts for the elderly, friends and relatives, are all on the list of purchasing.
Before the New Year comes, the people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes, bedclothes and all their utensils.
Then people begin decorating their clean rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity. All the door panels will be pasted with Spring Festival couplets, highlighting Chinese calligraphy with black characters on red paper. The content varies from house owners' wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New Year. Also, pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front doors to ward off evil spirits and welcome peace and abundance.
The Chinese character "fu" (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole." What's more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall.
People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time, all family members eat dinner together. The meal is more luxurious than usual. Dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded, for in Chinese, their pronunciations, respectively "ji", "yu" and "doufu," mean auspiciousness, abundance and richness. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV. In recent years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central T elevision Station (CCTV) is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. According to custom, each family will stay up to see the New Year in.
Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.
Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.
Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival. People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security, noise and pollution factors into consideration. As a
replacement, some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to, some break little balloons to get the sound too, while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.
The lively atmosphere not only fills every household, but permeates to streets and lanes. A series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held for days. The Spring Festival then comes to an end when the Lantern Festival is finished.
China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.
A photo of my family
Look at this photo. This is a nice picture of my family.
There are five people on it. I am in the middle. I’m laughing. It looks that I am very happy. There’re some pretty flowers in my hands. A man beside me is my father. He is happy, too. Where’s my mother? Oh.. She is behind me. She is a good mother, I think. She’s my friend, too. I love her. My grandparents are behind me, too. They both love me.
I like this picture. And I love my family.
