It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed. Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA. Sweetest Day is not based on any single groups religious （宗教的） beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.

Farmer Banda said that he only meant for the pop super star to raise and educate his child before bringing him back to Malawi.Madonna appeared on Oprah, one of the worlds most watched chat shows to announce her latest childrens book, Too Good to Be True, which is published today and is a follow-up to her 2003 best-seller.Madonna described her first meeting with the adopted son David on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Wednesday. She said that she feared for his life because he was seriously ill. The pop star told Oprah how David was suffering from pneumonia （肺炎） and was fighting just to breathe. She was really worried about his health because of the limited medical resources in Malawi, his native country. Madonna said, “He had severe pneumonia and could hardly breathe. We got permission to take him to a hospital to have him treated. He was given an injection （注射） of antibiotics （抗生素）. Now he is out of danger.”Madonna is also excited that her own children, Lourdes, nine, and Rocco, six, have welcomed David into their family and shared images of them together at home on the show.

Vietnamese families plan their activities around their children on this special day. In a Vietnamese folk story, parents were working so hard to prepare for the harvest that they left the children playing by themselves. To make up for that time, the parents would use the Mid-Autumn Festival as a chance to show their love and thanks for their children. As a result, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Childrens Festival. In the United States, this tradition continues in many Vietnamese-American families. Activities are often centered on children and education. Parents buy lanterns (灯笼) for their children so that they can take part in a candle and lantern parade at dawn. Lanterns mean brightness, while the parade means success in school. Vietnamese markets sell a variety of lanterns, but the most popular childrens lantern is the star lantern. Other childrens activities include arts and crafts （手工艺） in which children make face masks and lanterns. Children also perform traditional Vietnamese dances for adults and take part in contests for prizes. Unicorn (麒麟) dancers are also very popular.Like Chinese people, Vietnamese parents tell their children folk stories and serve mooncakes and other special treats under the bright moon. A favorite folk story is about a carp (鲤鱼) that wanted to become a dragon. The carp worked and worked and finally changed itself into a dragon.

This is the traditional picture of a happy family living in Britain, but is it true today?The answer is no! The past 20 years have seen many changes in the lives and structures of families in Britain.The biggest change has been caused by divorce （离婚）. The large rise in divorce has meant many women need to work to support themselves and their children. Even where there is no divorce, many families need both parents to work in order to survive.
