短文填空(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读短文,从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空,使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词,每词仅用一次。
打开;来;受欢迎的;第一;不清楚的;成功;他们的;或者;想法;发现
在英国,节礼日在12月26日庆祝,也就是圣诞节的次日。然而,严格来说,节礼日是圣诞节后的第一个工作日。和圣诞节一样,节礼日是一个公共假日。这意味着在整个英国这一天都不上班。当节礼日是星期六或星期日时,接下来的星期一是公共假日。
这个节日的确切起源尚不清楚。一种说法是,在中世纪,当大型帆船出发去发现新大陆时,神父会在每艘船上放置一个圣诞盒。那些希望平安归来的水手会往盒子里放钱。盒子被密封起来并留在船上,直到船安全归来。然后盒子被交给神父,以换取对航行成功的感恩弥撒。神父直到圣诞节才会打开盒子,把钱分给穷人。
另一种想法与圣诞节当天放在每个教堂里的“施舍箱”有关。做礼拜的人会把给穷人的礼物放进这个箱子里。这些箱子总是在圣诞节后的第二天被人打开。这就是为什么那一天被称为节礼日。
如今,许多企业、组织和家庭试图通过捐赠他们的时间、服务和金钱来帮助食品银行、为穷人提供礼物或帮助有需要的家庭,以保持节礼日的传统精神。此外,与家人共度时光和购物现在是受欢迎的节礼日活动。
