B篇（节假日活动）本文是说明文。节礼日（Boxing Day）是英联邦部分地区在圣诞节次日庆祝的节日。
In Britain, Australia, Canada and a few other English-speaking countries, people don't stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over---they also celebrate the following day, known as Boxing Day. Boxing Day has nothing to do with the sport of boxing. In fact, it is a popular day for giving additional gifts. Boxing Day has been celebrated for so long, but it is not known how it started. Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages. In those days, churches had a special collection box into which people threw money for the poor,. The day after Christmas the box was opened, and the money was counted. Then the money was given to the poor in the area. Others believe Boxing Day started about 300 years ago when nobles(贵族)hosted Christmas feasts，offering lots of food to many guests. Because many servants were needed to make and serve the food, they could not celebrate Christmas with their families. As a gesture of thanks, the nobles would have leftover food put into boxes for their servants to take home.
Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in the countries that celebrate it. Although most offices and businesses close, malls are full of people looking for low prices on Christmas goods. Some people spend the day making boxes of old or unwanted things and donating(捐

赠)them to the Poor. Many people donate their time to help service organizations like the Red Cross.

As we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence (《独立宣言》). He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress (国会). As a result, he became famous.
Born in 1743 in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a wonderful student at school and almost talented(天才的 ) lawyer later, was much interested in politics.
Jefferson was elected the Governor of Virginia in 1779, and he was sent to France as the representative of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected president after Washington and Adams.
Far from a handsome man, he was tall with long arms and big hands. Jefferson, who was an amusing(令人愉快的) talker in conversation but a poor speaker, was generally good-natured. Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom in America. As a president, he protected the right of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as president, Jefferson never vetoed (否决) a bill which the Congress had passed. He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia.
