Most cultures have a festival of light．Each culture celebrates this festival in a different way．There is one thing that is the same，however，and this is the wish for peace and happiness in the world．
The Jewish Festival of Light is called Hanukkah．Hanukkah usually takes place in December．The story of why Hanukkah is celebrated is very old．It is told that a very long time ago，Jewish people called the Macabees were at war with a country called Syria．On the day that the Macabees won the war，they cleaned up their holy place，which is called a temple，because the Syrian people had been living there．They wanted to light their holy lamps to say thank you for the end of the war，but found only a very small amount of oil left over to do that．The Macabees lit the lamps anyway，thinking that they would soon go out．The lamps kept burning for eight days!The Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah every year by lighting a candlestick that has eight candleholders．Every night a new candle is lit so that on the eighth night，all eight candles stand together．Presents are given at this time and money is given to the poor．
Lanterns are another form of light．In China，lanterns are famous works of art．The Lantern Festival goes back more than 2，000 years to the Qin Dynasty．It takes place on the 15th day of the Chinese New Year，bringing the New Year season to a close．During the festival，parks become a sea of lanterns．Sometimes streets are blocked off and lanterns are put down on each side to make a hallway of lanterns．People also hang lanterns in their gardens，outside their houses or on boats．The lanterns are made in many shapes，sizes and colours．They are usually made from silk，paper and plastic．Some are even made from ice．It is believed that these lanterns will guide visitors and the spirits of ancestors to the celebrations．The Lantern Festival is a time for families，young and old to spend together．Every New Year the wish is the same -peace and happiness to all．

1．Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students，free periods （課、節(jié)） are useless.From what I have seen，few do homework. （1）
.This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year，I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
（2）.Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
In my 8th grade，I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement；so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot，but I built mine incorrectly，so it broke in the kiln （窯）. （3）.Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However，the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
（4）!College is when we should focus on a specific major，but high school is when we have to figure it out.
Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. （5）.
A.Our school offers many classes
B.We should find out what we are good at
C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
D.Instead，many are on their phones and talking
E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
G.The classes we choose can influence us in the future發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：7引用：5難度：0.5 -
2．Most smart phones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location．There are lots of great uses for this technology．（1）
So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service，and pay attention to how you are using it．Here're some important points you may find helpful．
Choose what's best for you．Some location-sharing services are games that let you give a shout-out when you've turned up at a particular spot．（2）Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting．Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location．
Know who your friends are．（3）This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend．It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky，so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust．
（4）Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time，but others will send it forever-until you stop it．Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location．
Update parents．Location-based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text．（5）If you're heading home late at night，you can also use a service like Glympse to share your location as you drive，so they'll know if you have car trouble or get stuck in traffic．A．Check back often．
