Dear Xia Yu, Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May, and the other is Father's Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children often give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gifts to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to show our love. Actually, we don't have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead. June 翻译：亲爱的夏宇， 你知道对美国的父母来说有两个特殊的节日吗？一个是母亲节，在五月的第二个星期日；另一个是父亲节，在六月的第三个星期日。在这两天，美国孩子们经常会给他们的父母送礼物，或者带他们出去吃午餐或晚餐。送给母亲的常见礼物是花和卡片，送给父亲的则是衬衫或领带。我听说在中国庆祝母亲节和父亲节正变得越来越受欢迎。我想知道那边的孩子们是否也给他们的父母送类似的礼物。我认为有许多的方法可以表达我们的爱。事实上，我们不必花许多的钱。相反地，帮父母做点事情也是个不错的主意。 琼

Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus.

The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this. 翻译：许多人都会同意这一点，当我们想到圣诞节的时候，我们可能会想到礼物、圣诞树和圣诞老人。但是隐藏在所有这些事物背后的是圣诞节的真谛：分享的重要性、付出爱以及给我们身边的人带来快乐。《圣诞欢歌》中的故事也许是这个的最好范例。

A Christmas Carol is a famous short novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself. He doesn't treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money and he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn't want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him. 翻译：《圣诞欢歌》是由查尔斯·狄更斯所写的一部著名短篇小说。它讲述的是一个名叫斯克鲁奇的老男人的故事，他从来不笑。他十分吝啬，只想着自己。他对待其他人也不友善。他只关心是否能赚更多的钱，而且他讨厌圣诞节。有一个圣诞夜，斯克鲁奇看见了他死去的生意伙伴雅各布·马利的鬼魂。马利过去就像斯克鲁奇一样，所以他死后受到了惩罚。他警告斯克鲁奇，如果不想最终变得像他一样的话，就要改变方法。他还让斯克鲁奇等待三个幽灵的造访。

That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning—Christmas Day! 翻译：那晚，三个幽灵拜访了斯克鲁奇。首先，过去的圣诞节幽灵把他带回了他的童年时期，并让斯克鲁奇回想起他小时候那段更快乐的日子。然后第二个幽灵—现在的圣诞节幽灵—把他带去看看其他人今年都是怎样过圣诞节的。每个人都很快乐，甚至连穷人都是。最后一个—未来的圣诞节幽灵把他带到了未来。斯克鲁奇看到他死了，但是没有人在意。他吓得要命，以至于他在床上醒来发现结果却是第二天早上——圣诞节！

He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas! 翻译：他决定改变他的生活，并承诺要变成一个更好的人。他和亲戚们快乐地庆祝着圣诞节。他也给有需要的人送礼物。他现在用仁慈和热情对待每个人，他走到哪儿都传递着爱和快乐。那才是圣诞节的真正精神。

Many Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always on a Sunday between March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates the beginning of new life. Hens lay eggs, giving birth to life, so an egg is a symbol of new life. A popular activity during Easter is to hide eggs around your home or garden for friends or relatives to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Not only do people spread them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these treats as gifts. So just like Christmas, Easter creates good business for supermarkets and chocolate stores. 翻译：许多西方国家都庆祝复活节。这个节日总是在3月22日和4月25日之间的一个星期日。它庆祝着新生命的开始。母鸡下蛋——诞生生命，所以鸡蛋是新生命的象征。在复活节期间一个很受欢迎的活动就是把鸡蛋藏在你家或花园周围，以便亲戚朋友们寻找。这些可能是真的鸡蛋，但是它们常常都是巧克力彩蛋。人们不仅是为了寻找彩蛋活动而将它们分散在不同的隐蔽之处，而且他们也将这些款待作为礼物分发出去。因此，正如圣诞节一样，复活节给超市和巧克力店也带来了好生意。
