Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it39。s a nonworking day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday. The exact origin（起源）of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest（神父）on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in exchange for the saying of a mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn39。t open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas. One more thought is about the Alms Box placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers（做禮拜的人） put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas. That is why that day became known as Boxing Day. Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating（捐贈） their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now. （1）If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on____________.

Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the west. In Asia, especially in China, Japan and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university. The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the west. So these children bee satellite kids, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a satellite kid. Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the satellite kids problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a satellite kid means growing up in such a country, where you know you are different and you can39。t make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means growing
