　　新年

　　New Year’s Day is, of course, the first day of the year. It is a national holiday in most countries around the world. It is a time when families get together and celebrate with a meal. Many people make new plansfor the rest of the year. These plans are called New Year resolutions. People decide to lose weight, get fit, stop smoking, study English every day or save lots of money. I think most people are serious about these plans on January 1st, but then forget about them before the end of the week. Then one year later, it’sNew Year’s Day all over again and people make the same resolutions again. I guess people all around the world make the same kinds of plans. I guess they also break their resolutions at the same time.

　　One thing I like about New Year’s Day are the TV programmes that look back at the previous year. They arelike highlights shows of the news. These always remind me how lucky I am because a lot of the news is about wars, famines, natural disasters, plane crashes and other terrible things. The shows also look back at the lives of people who died that year. Hmmm… That all sounds a bit depressing really. But then there are happier things, like the top sports and music stories. Another thing that happens on New Year’s Day is lists. The top ten movies of the year, the ten best sporting achievements of the year, etc. There is even a list for the top ten new English words of the year. Previous winners of this are the words ‘blog’ and ‘podcast’.

　　清掃桌子日

　　Are you a messy or tidy person? Is your desk a mountain of books and paper or is it a dust-free zone? January 14th, Clean Off Your Desk Day, is for you if your desk looks like a bomb has hit it.This is also a dayfor you to clean your computer desktop too. Most of us have a lot of clutter on our desktops and most of it needs to be filed away somewhere.Clean Off Your Desk Day is a good way of starting the year as you mean to go on. A tidy desk means you are organized. You won’t have to spend hours looking for things under piles of paper. Your stapler and hole punch will be close at hand. You’ll have somewhere safe to put your coffee mug; a place where it isn’t in danger of tipping over and making your documents a soggy brown mess.

　　Why do some people have such messy desks?Is it a sign of a creative mind, an overworkedperson, or simply laziness? It may be a clue to your childhood. If your parents were organizedand tidy, you are more likelyto be too. If you took pride in tidying your room as a child, you willdo the same with your desk as an adult. For many people, a tidy desk makes them feel good.They can sit down and get to work straight away. Awell-organized computer desktop is thesame. The person can navigate his or her way very quickly to any document they want. It onlytakes two minutes at the end of the day to tidy up and put things in the right place. Make useof your wastepaper basket ***that’s trash can for Americans***. Do that, and life will be moresimple.

　　artin Luther King Jr. Day is a U.S. holiday that celebrates the birth date of one of America’sgreatest civil rights leaders. Dr. King’s date of birth is January 15th, but the actual holiday is onthe third Monday in January. The holiday recognizes the great achievements Martin Luther Kingmade to American society.His leadership in the campaign to achieve equal rights for blackAmericans changed America forever. His focus on non-violent protests led to new laws thatended racial discrimination in America. The USA became amore equal society. The holiday isonly one of four national holidays in America to commemorate a person. This shows just howimportant Martin Luther King was – one of the greatest Americans ever.

　　Dr. King was assassinated in 1968. Just 25 years later, in 1983, then President Ronald Reagansigned this holiday into U.S. law. People first observed the holiday three years later, in 1986. Atfirst, the holidaywas not popular with all American states. Some didn’t like the name and sothey called it “Civil Rights Day”. However, in the year 2000, all 50 states observed the holidayusing its correct name. The musician Stevie Wonder helped the campaign for the holiday. Hereleased a hit single called “Happy Birthday” in 1980. The song made millions of Americansaware of the campaign. Six million people signed a petition for the American Congress tocreate the holiday. It is still the largest petition in U.S. history in favour of an issue.
