In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the day after Christmas. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas, Boxing Day is a public holiday, which means 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.
The reason for the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great ships were setting off to discover new lands, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest(神父) on each ship. Those seamen who wanted 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 to express thanks for the success of the trip. The priest wouldn't open it to share the money inside with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is that worshippers(做礼拜的人) put gifts for the poor into the“ Alms(施舍) Box” on Christmas Day. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day by giving away their time, services and money to help Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides(此外), spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.
( )71. If Christmas Day is on Friday, when will Boxing Day be celebrated?
A. On December 26th. B. On December 27th.
C. On December 28th.
( )72. Why did seamen drop money into the Christmas Box?
A. To save the poor. B. To pay for the priest.
C. To wish for their trip safety.
( )73. Which of the blanks can be filled with the underlined phrase“ sealed up” in paragraph 2?
A. The food bags need to be _____ or the food will go bad.
B. Books borrowed from the library need to be _____ on time.
C. Two lanterns are _____ outside the door during the Spring Festival.
( )74. Which of the following activities can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day?
① shopping ② offering gifts to the poor
③ spending time with family ④ supporting families in need
⑤ giving money to help Food Banks
A.①②④ B.②④⑤ C.②③⑤
( ) 75. What is the purpose of this article?
A. To compare the traditions of Boxing Day with those of Christmas.
B. To discuss the influence of Boxing Day on the British economy(经济).
C. Tell people about the history of Boxing Day and how to celebrate it today.
