There are many stories about the start of Nian. It's said that Nian was a fierce monster (凶猛的野兽). Usually it stayed deep in the mountains. But in the winter, it couldn't find enough food. So it entered villages to eat whatever it could catch. Villagers became afraid and moved away. Later the people found that Nian was afraid of three things—The red color, the bright fire and the loud noise.After learning this, they thought of how to prevent Nian from entering their villages. From then on, a tradition was established (形成). People have couplets (对联), lanterns and fireworks (烟花) for the Spring Festival.
Now most people in the countryside still keep these traditional celebrations. However, the people in cities have used new ways to celebrate the Spring Festival. For example, they don't send out so many greeting cards as before. Instead they usually send short text messages to greet friends on mobiles. And for safety, fireworks were not allowed in some large cities a few years ago, making the cities much quieter than before. It seems that all Chinese traditions are facing new challenges. Maybe when the children of the next generation (代, 辈) grow up, they can only learn about Chinese traditions from books.

When did you last say “I love you”to your father If you can't remember, then you can get the chance this Father's Day on June 18.
Generally compared to a mother's gentle love, a father represents ( 代表) qualities like independence (独立), confidence, courage and adventure.
Also, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on LiveScience. Fathers not only lead their children into their social circle but also teach them how to act and control their feelings.
For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn't like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. “Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my ability of leading and cooperating (合作),” Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.
US actor Will Smith learned important lessons from small things taught by his father. His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible.After a year and a half, they did it. “You don't try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick (砖)every day. And soon you have a wall,”he said on TV show Charlie Rose ( 《查理·罗斯访谈录》).

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 is 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 was sealed up and 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.

V. 45. One possible version:
On Mother's Day, my classmates celebrated this special day in different ways. Some of them spent lots of pocket money buying expensive gifts for their mothers, or made cards and gifts by themselves.Some students did as much housework as possible to help their mothers.
All the ways above are OK. Whatever we do,thanksgiving is the most important. Our mothers have given us so much love and care, so we should give them more in return. What's more, working hard and being good kids is also a good way to make our mothers happy. Let's take action to express our love to our mothers heartedly and faithfully.
