the celtic calendar. halloween dates back to over 2000 years ago.the american tradition of trick-or-treating probably dates back to the early all souls day marches in england. during the festivities, poor people would beg for food and families would give them pastries called soul cakes in return for their promise to pray（祈祷）for the familys dead relatives.the act of giving out soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for homeless ghosts. the practice was finally taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given sweets, food, and money. the tradition of dressing in costume（服饰）for halloween has both european and celtic roots. hundreds of years ago, winter was an uncertain and frightening time. food supplies were often not enough because people were afraid of the darkness and would stay at home without doing businesses.on halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would meet with ghosts if they left their homes. to avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for their fellows（同伴）. on halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to satisfy the ghosts and prevent them from trying to enter their houses.36halloween falling on october 31st , has a history of more than 2,000 years.37during halloween in america, poor people would be given food like pastries called “soul cakes” by rich family relatives.38children would be treated to sweets and food while visiting the houses in their neighborhood on halloween.39on halloween, people would wear masks when

business. the other day i was at the airport waiting for a ticket to washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “im sorry, i cant sell you a ticket. our computer is down.”“if your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”“i cant write you out a ticket. the computer is the only one allowed to do so.”i noticed every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. then i looked down on the computer and asked her, “what do all you people do?”“we give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“so when it goes down, you go down with it.”“thats good, sir.”“how long will the computer be down? i wanted to know.”“i have no idea. sometimes its down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. theres no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since its down it wont answer us.”after the girl told me they had no backup computer, i said. “lets forget the computerwhat about your planes? they are still flying, arent they?”“i couldnt tell without asking the computer.”“maybe i could, just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he is flying to washington,” i suggested.“i wouldnt know what gate to send you to. even if the pilot was going to washington, he couldnt take you if you didnt have a ticket.”“is there any other airline flying to washington within the next few hours?”“i wouldnt know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “only it knows. it cant tell me.” by this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. the words soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.41where do you often hear the frightening words “our computer is down”?aat the airport.bat

commencement（毕业典礼）speech this year. the ceremony took place in the gymnasium of tennessee state university.the first lady told the 170 graduates that she spent too much of her time in college focusing on academic achievements. while her success in college and law school led to a good job, she said, she ended up focusing on public service. “my message to you today is that dont waste a minute living someone elses dream,” she said. “it takes a lot of real work to discover what brings you joy and you wont find what you love simply by checking mailboxes or surfing the net.”she said mlk reminded her of her own high school experience in chicago. “my no.1 goal was to go to a high school that would push me and challenge me,” she said. “i wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievement. unfortunately, schools like this dont exist for every kid.” she said. “you are blessed.”the first lady told graduates that failure may be a part of their college lives and careers, and that how they respond determines what they will become. “thats when you find out what youre really made of in those hard times,” she said. “but you can only do that if youre willing to put yourself in a position where you might fail.” overcoming difficulties has been the mark of many great people, she said, “oprah was demoted（降职）from her first job as a news reporter, and now she doesnt even need a last name,” she said of media giant oprah winfrey “and then theres this guy barack obama, i could take up a whole afternoon talking about his failures. he lost his first race for congress”, the first lady joked,

green beyond easy things. rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.with the idea of going green every single day for a year, our green year started. my wife and i decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. we wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.over the course of our green year, we completely changed our lifestyle. we now shop at organic（有机的）stores. we consume less meat, choosing green food. we have greatly reduced our buying we dont need. we have given away half of what we owned through websites. our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. we make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. in our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.our minds have been changed by our green year.
