A holiday (假期) is a special day to remember special people or special things that happened in history. In the past, most holidays were about religion (宗教). Today, holidays celebrate (庆祝) more than religion. Some holidays are even about nature (大自然) and animals! Earth Day, for example, is a holiday about nature.
On some holidays people in the US do not have to go to school or work. Thanksgiving and Christmas are examples. But some people like the police, bus drivers, firefighters and hospital workers need to work even on important holidays. On other holidays, people do go to work and school. For example, there is no day off(休息日) on holidays like Halloween and Valentine’s Day. But people still celebrate at work or school, or when they get home.
People in the US celebrate holidays by spending time together. Sometimes people wear special clothes or eat special foods. People also celebrate some holidays by parading (游行庆祝). One of the largest holidays parades in America is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. The parade celebrates both Thanksgiving and the start of Christmas.
A holiday is a special day. What is your favorite holiday? How do you celebrate it every year?

Sports are very important to us. Sports are popular with young and old people. Many people do morning exercises, go to different sports clubs and take part in sports games. Other people like sports too but they only like to watch sports games and listen to sports news. They don’t do sports.
P.E. is an important subject in our school. Students have P.E. classes five times a week. Boys and girls often play volleyball and basketball in P.E. classes. There is a big playground (操场) in our school and students like to do sports there. Our school often has a lot of sports games and many students take part in them.

Summer time means movies—comedies, documentaries, cartoons, etc. Whether you are in your favorite theater or on the sofa at home, the best companion (伙伴) of movies goes to popcorn.
Popcorn and movies became “best friends” in the early 1900s. At the very beginning, movies had no sound. So people thought it was not polite (礼貌的) to eat while watching movies. Later, with the coming of sound films, popcorn became popular. To movie watchers, it was cheap and everyone could afford it. To theaters, it could bring them much money.
Did you know?
◆ People eat 70% of the popcorn at home and 30% outside, and movie theaters are the top places.
