In Britain. Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the Boxing das

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

第2页共5页（vx:：jyhcc95）

The exact origin(起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when

great salling ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest 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 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

In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why

locusts are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither

because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is

that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops. When crops are young, locusts look green. But

when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do

Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can't be seen easily by their

enemies. This is because they have colors similar to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on

a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil

insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment. However, insects

with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others, So in order to survive they have to

hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.

Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink

when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over, its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At

the same time the ink fish immediately swims away That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at

all

challenge was that she had to work with a cat-an animal that she was afraid of. "I was sick the whole time but
