People all know that December 25th is Christmas for Americans and other westerners.
Yet not all the people know Boxing Day.
Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated on December 26th, or the first weekday after Christmas. And it is a festival only for those service persons such as postmen, newspaper boys, milkmen, etc. On that day, families traditionally give Christmas boxes to those service workers. It is a custom, but nobody is certain how it began.
A popular legendtells the story. There was once a rich lady called Chatter in Britain. One morning many, many years ago, it snowed very heavily. Chatter was waiting anxiously for a very important letter from her boyfriend. Then a post boy came and gave her the letter. She was so pleased that she gave him a box with presents. Later on, more and more people followed her example. As time went by, giving boxes with presents to service persons became a custom in Great Britain. Later the custom spread（传播）to the British Commonwealth（共和政体）and America. In the United States, some people give their employees（雇员）money instead of boxes now.

The energy which the sun radiates（辐射）goes in every direction. But only a minute part of it falls on the earth. Even so, it radiates power of about 5,000,000 horsepower per square mile per day. The sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind uses in a year. At present, we use this energy indirectly, and it is our final source of power.
Coal （煤）represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power results from the rain formed by vapor when water changes into gas under the sunshine. Even windmills （风车磨坊）operate because of air current（流）starts moving by the different heating effects of the sun in different places.
Some day, through chemistry or some types of solar engine, we should use this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly doing well, in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on water to create steam.
