Do you know the two lovely mascots? You may know the five “Fuwa” dolls   from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. On September 17 of this year, the two lovely mascots first showed on TV. Now, let’s see who they are.

Look at the panda! It looks like an astronaut. It wears an ice shell and looks fat, so we call it “Bing Dwen Dwen”. White is the colour of ice and snow. “Bing   Dwen Dwen” likes ice sports very much and is good at them. That’s why it is the mascot of 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

Do you think the red mascot looks like a lantern? The lantern’s name is “Shuey Rhon Rhon”. When the Chinese New Year comes, people always make or buy red lanterns. Red is the colour of hope and good luck, so people think their dreams will come true in the new year. “Shuey Rhon Rhon”can give players hope and help them do well in the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games.

Many people in different countries like the two mascots very much, and they show their love for them on the Internet.

In many countries around the world, May 1st is a holiday which is called Labor Day or Workers’ Day. It is an interesting holiday that honors (授予……荣誉) working men and women and their jobs. During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories, but made very little money. Later, in the United States and Canada, working people got together to set up unions (工会). The union leaders asked factory bosses for shorter working days and higher salaries (工资), but many of the bosses ▲ .

On May 1st, 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets. They walked through cities and towns to force bosses to let them work eight hours a day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fighting with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working on May 1st to honor workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first of May became a national holiday in many countries.

However, in the United States and Canada, May 1st is not a holiday. North Americans celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in September. Today in the Unites States, Labor Day is mostly about having fun. People enjoy a long weekend, and often celebrate it by having picnics with friends or family. In many parts of the Unites States, Labor Day is also the last day of summer vacation, and students return to school the next day.
