Do you know Red Nose Day?
Red Nose Day is an event to raise money in the UK. People celebrate Red Nose Day in spring every two years. It is called Red Nose Day because on this day many people buy a plastic（塑料的）red nose to wear! And the money from selling red noses goes to the charity（慈善）.
On this day, thousands of people put on red noses and colorful clothes at home, at work, in schools and almost everywhere. It calls for people in the UK to try to help poor people across the UK and Africa（非洲）. Students don’t need to wear uniforms（制服）. They wear all kinds of clothes and red noses at school. They have many ways to raise money, such as making and selling red noses at school, putting on a show and so on. Everyone raises money and donates（捐赠） it to the poor. They learn how to do their best to help others on this day.

【推荐1】Have you ever been to the Window of the World, a theme park in Shenzhen?
This is certainly a theme park unlike any other. The Window of the World covers 480, 000 m2 and it has over 130 replicas (复制品) of the most famous natural and man-made sites in the world. Some of the replicas are as big as the real ones while others are smaller. In one day, you can visit many famous places of interest, like the Eiffel Tower and the Grand Canyon. That’s really amazing.
“Here visitors can see and experience places and cultures they may not be able to get to see in person. Not everyone can visit every famous landmark (地标) in the world in a lifetime and that is why this park is attractive to many visitors,” said one worker of the park.
The Window of the World theme park is both interesting and educational. There are shows about famous people in history, and the park often holds festivals on different cultural themes. “This week we are holding Indian Week. Visitors can learn about Indian culture. We are offering Indian food all week and there is also a special show on famous Indians in history,” said another worker of the park.

【推荐3】The Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb Sweeping (扫墓) Day in English, is a traditional Chinese festival. It falls on April 4th this year. It is a time for Chinese people to remember and honor (向……表示敬意) the dead by visiting their tombs and making offering.
Traditionally, people show their feelings by burning spirit money (纸钱). However, in order to protect the environment, some cities think of new ways to make the festival greener.
Before Tomb Sweeping Day, Harbin city gave the notice about stopping the production (生产) and sale of spirit money. When people visited tombs, they offered flowers, the wind-bells or food instead of spirit money.
The people in Harbin can also join in online memorial activities, such as giving flowers, lighting candles (蜡烛) and writing articles to remember the dead family members and friends.
During Tomb Sweeping Day, Hainan Province began an activity to exchange visitors' spirit money for flowers.
In Haikou and Sanya, many people helped tomb sweepers bring fresh flowers and took away their spirit money. "It is a good, environment-friendly and green idea. I will try it this time," said a tomb visitor, Mr. Zhang, in Sanya.
People like these ideas because they cannot both honor the dead and save the environment.
