In Britain,Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th,which is
the 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.
The exact origin (of the holiday is unclear.One of the thoughts is
that during the Middle Ages,when great sailing 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 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.Worshipers(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 known 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

Don't worry about not understanding every word.Sometimes,as readers,
we think we must understand the meaning of everything we read.But it isn't
always necessary to understand every word while reading.19 The
other words around the new word may help you guess the meaning.

some level that allows things to come together to form ideas themselves.So
practice reading in this way-groups of words that go together.

The clean water and green mountains are our treasures.So it's very important for
us to realize the importance of protecting the environment and dealing with pollution.
But what should we do?
We can take actions in our daily life.We can plant more trees to keep the soil in
place.we need to save resources to avoid polluting the environment.Polluted water
should be dealt with in time to keep the river clean because we cannot live without
water.When we go to other places,we can choose public transport to reduce air
pollution.
In my opinion,everyone can do something small to make a difference.When we
see rubbish on the road,we should pick it up immediately.If all of us work together,
we will have a more beautiful home.
