Question

1.I had a very happy day today because we had no school though it is Tuesday today. I played football with my friends on the playground in our school. Then we had a big dinner with a lot of our friends.

2.Today was a special day. After the bell rang for the lesson we all sat up straight waiting for our maths teacher. Today in former years we would place something on the top of the door so that when someone entered it would fall onto that person. But this year we put nothing on the top of the door. But as our maths teacher was entering we all shouted “Take care”. The teacher got a surprise and raised his head but saw nothing. We all laughed and said “April fool”.

3.Early this morning I got up and woke up my sister Jane. Together we went from door to door to call on my friends. It was a day for us to play. We gathered on the square of the town with our New Year’s gift. We exchanged our gifts and played all kinds of games on the square. How happy we were!

4.This evening we had a Halloween party in the open. We were all dressed in witch’s outfit and wore masks. We sang and danced happily. We couldn’t figure out who was who though we were all such close friends or neighbors.

5.Today I gave a kiss to the girl I love most in front of all my classmates. I didn’t say anything before. But today I was brave enough to kiss her on the face with my classmates and my history teacher near at hand.

A．Near Year’s Day

It falls on the first day of the year. The year should begin happily they say so that it will end happily. And on the first morning of the New Year children in Scotland Wales and the English border countries rise early so that they may make the round of their friends and neighbors. “On January 1 ^st ” writes a 13-year-old Scottish girl “I always go New Year’s Gifting with my sister and friends about four of us. I get up about 7 o’clock and call for my friends and go round the houses and farms.”

B．Shrove Tuesday

For centuries Shrove Tuesday has been a day of high festival for apprentices (学徒) and schoolchildren. It has been a day of feasting and cock fighting a day for football and rowdiness (吵闹). And it is pleasing to find that it is still a special day for children in some parts of England where “Pancake Day (薄煎饼日) ” as they call it is kept as a school holiday.

C．Kissing Friday

A teacher writing to the Yorkshire Post tells how after Ash Wednesday comes Kissing Friday. A few days ago when she arrived at a country school and was taking a mixed class of 13-year-old children in country dancing she saw the leading boy suddenly lean across and kiss his partner who showed no sign of embarrassment. When as teacher she expressed her surprise the boy said “It’s all right Miss. You see it’s Kissing Friday”. And he explained that on Friday following Shrove Tuesday any boy had the right to kiss any girl without being resisted.

D．April Fool’s Day

The first day of April ranks amongst the most joyous days in the juvenile (青少年) calendar. It is a day when you hoax (愚弄) friends of yours with jokes like sending them to the shop for some pigeon’s milk or telling them to dig a hole because the dog has died; when they come back and ask where the dead dog is you say “April fool” and laugh at them.

E. May Day

On the first of May in country districts young maidens (少女) rise early and go out into the dawn as they have done for centuries to wash their faces in the May dew (露水). In Somerset children call this “kissing the dew”. In most places the girls do so to ensure that they shall have a beautiful complexion (肤色) for the rest of the year.

F. Halloween

It falls on October 31. Many children attend Halloween parties. “The best thing about the party is that you should go in fancy dress ” says a girl. The most popular dress is a Witch’s outfit or something to do with lucky charms. It is said that one of the luckiest things at a Halloween party is for a person to come in with a lump (块) of coal.
