Teachers'Day

    People in many countries celebrate World Teachers' Day on 5 th October, but in Argentina(阿根廷) it is on 11 th September—the anniversary(周年纪念日) of the death of former president, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento in 1888. Sarmiento believed passionately in the importance of education: he wrote “Schools are the very basis of civilization.” Children traditionally write poems for their teachers and give them an apple, make a cake or buy flowers. In Vietnam(越南), Educators' Day is in November. Everyone has a day off school, and many students visit their former teachers in their homes to give them presents, or give news about themselves. And at some schools in India, senior students become teachers, and teachers become students for the day!

World Book Day

    In many countries, Book Day is on 23 rd April every year. It originated(起源于) in Catalonia(加泰罗尼亚) in 1923 when booksellers decided to honour the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes who died on that day in 1616. In 1995, World Book Day became an international event, celebrating books and reading. People exchange presents – usually a book and a rose. There are also events such as writing competitions, and in Madrid(马德里) there is a public reading of Cervantes's greatest work – Don QuijoteSSS – which lasts 48 hours! In the UK and Ireland, all schoolchildren receive a one-pound book token(购书券), and many children now dress up as their favourite character from fiction!

Respect for theAged Day

    Grandparents' Day is popular in many countries, but in Japan—a country where nearly 30 percent of the population are over 60 – people treat older people with special respect. The third Monday of September is 'Respect for the Aged Day' (Keiro-no-hi) which became a national holiday in 1966. Everyone has a day off school or work and people organize celebrations for the older people of the village or community where they live, Young people dress up in traditional clothes. They sing and dance and they either prepare a special meal for the older people, or eat out as a family. Nowadays, people also visit relatives and the older people in their families, for a three-day weekend.

Maybe you often have arguments 1 your parents about clothes, homework, friends and many other things. But what's going on when your parents fight with each other? Most teenagers feel sad or afraid when their parents fight. They might think their parents don't love each other any more and that their arguments will 2 to a divorce(离婚).

In fact, it is 3 for parents to disagree and argue sometimes. They might disagree on important things like jobs and family decisions. They might even disagree on little things that don't seem important at all — like what's for dinner. Maybe sometimes parents feel so strongly about their 4 that it may lead to arguments. However, these arguments often end quickly. Parents may say sorry and make up, and the family 5 to a normal situation.

As a family member, you should 6 what it really means when your parents fight. When your parents get angry with each other, they might say things they don't really 7 . Most people may lose their cool. So if your parents are fighting, don't worry too much about it. Try to find a good 8 to solve it.

If your parents' fighting really 9 you, you might find it hard to sleep or go to school. If this happens, try talking to your parents about their behavior. They may not even 10 it until you tell them how their argument has affected you. You can also tell it other relatives, a teacher or a close friend.

Just remember that no family is perfect and arguments are common in every family.

"Please take my penny," said Maggie to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets. Her brother Andrew drew her back, whispering, "Maggie, he is not a beggar (乞丐) !"

But Maggie paid no attention. "Please take it," she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. "Thank you, little miss," he said, "It is kindly meant."

After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired, she sat down on a rock beside a little pool. Soon she was scared by a noise near her, and Dan's large dog Rover jumped down from a rock!

He licked her hands and made a loud noise, and then began gently to pull her coat. "Rover wishes me to come away, I see," she said, and she rose from the rock and began to go home. However, that was not so easy as she had expected. She found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up, and as the tide (潮水) had been coming in for some time. She found some of the stones wet and smooth.

What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried, but the waves made a much louder noise than she could make, and perhaps she would have been drowned (淹死) without good wise Rover.

Rover jumped upon a big stone and raised his loud bark until even the waves could not drown it.

The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (悬崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover in trouble, so, going to the edge of the cliffs, he looked over. There he saw it all — Rover barking for help, and the little child standing beside him.

"Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!" he cried, and he hurried to his sons ' home.

"Quick, boys, quick!" he said. "Get to the boat, and row fast to the bay (海湾). There is a poor child there just waiting to be drowned." The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out, and give her into her mother's arms.

"It was the penny that did it, madam," he said to Mrs. Weston later. "I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny so kind-like into my hand — just as if he would have said, ‘Rover will be your friend now, little girl. ' And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day, for he never came near me after that."

Some years later, Rover came to Maggie's home with a little note, in which was written — "Will Maggie help Rover? — his master is dead."
