After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious l1. on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he f2. eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.

Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly p3. it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her s4., little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”

Little Tommy looked at her and s5. his head, “No.”

“Well then,” she asked again. “What was it?”

Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (將…釘牢) to the plus sign, I knew they weren’t joking.”

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（周年紀念日） 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（加泰羅尼亞） 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（馬德里） 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（購書券）, 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.
