The calendar date allows the particular day to be identified. A person can often determine how many days a particular date comes after another date. For example, February 19, 2003, is ten days after February 9, 2003, in the Gregorian calendar.In most calendar systems, the date consists of three parts: the day of month, month, and the year. There may also be additional parts, such as the day of week. Years are usually counted from a particular starting point, usually called an era, but sometimes an epoch.A date without the year part may also be referred to as a date or calendar date (such as 9 February rather than 9 February 2003). As such, it defines the days of an annual festival, such as a birthday or Christmas on 25 December.2. Date formatRelated to the classification of a day as a specific calendar date is the format used to express that date.Even for any specific calendar system, different formats are used. For example, the following formats all express the same date in the Gregorian calendar:Forms starting with the dayThis sequence is common to the vast majority of the worlds countries, and is used as the accepted international date usage.16/11/2001, 16.11.2001, 16-11-2001 or 16-11-01 16th of November 2001 16th November 2001 16 November 2001 16 Nov 2001 Forms starting with the year2001 November 16 2001-11-16: the ISO 8601 International formal standard ordering for dates, often formatted to be especially easily read and sorted by computers. Its used with UTC in the Internet date/time format (see the external link below). This format is also favored in certain Asian countries, mainly the East Asia. Forms starting with the monthThis sequence is common to a smaller number of countries.November 16, 2001 Nov. 16, 2001 11/16/2001, 11-16-2001, 11.16.2001 or 11.16.01 This order is used in the United States and countries with U.S. influence (but the U.S. federal government sometimes uses day, month, year). England originally used day, month, year, then for a while used month, day, year, and finally the original form (day, month, year) was revived around 1900. Canada uses both conventions, those starting with the day and those starting with the month.3.英语十二个月份名称由来英语中的月份均来自于拉丁语，其中大多为罗马神的名字。一月January：源于罗马神话中一位叫Janus的两面神，他的脑袋前后各长有一副面孔，古罗马钱币上也常刻有其形象。Janus是天宫的守门人，每天早晨把天宫的门打开，让阳光照耀大地；晚上把门关上，让夜幕降临。古罗马人在每年的第一天和每天清晨都要向他祈祷，以求事事顺利。难怪罗马人将他的名字作为一月。二月February：源于罗马的一种大扫除的庆典活动，名为“Februal”。或许是因为到了这个时候，漫长的冬季已过，人们开始打扫庭院，迎接春天的到来。三月March：是根据罗马神话中战神的名字命名的。这个战神叫Mars，很有力量。三月时有雷雨天气，罗马人总把Mars和雷电联系在一起。四月April：罗马的四月，正是大地回春。鲜花初绽的美好季节。英文四月April便由拉丁文April(即开花的日子)演变而来。 五月May：由女神Maia名字而来。Maia年轻貌美，被称为“田野之神”。 六月June：是由众神之王宙斯的妻子Juno的名字命名的。 七月July：来自古罗马开国大帝凯撒（Julius Caesar）的名字。因他七月出生，故将七月以他的名字命名。八月August：则是由凯撒大帝的继承人奥古斯都大帝（Auguetus）的名字命名的。Auguetus不能容忍凯撒的七月比他的八月多一天，就把二月的一天移到八月，这样八月也有31天，而二月只剩28天或29天了。并非每个月份都有这样的故事。四月的另一种说法是来自于拉丁语Avril意为“之后”，“第二”，因在凯撒之前的古罗马历法中，每年的第一个月份是三月。九月September、十月October、十一月November和十二月December也分别来自于拉丁语Sptem、Octo、Novem和Decem，分别意为“seven、eight、nine、ten”。这样，自然就明白这个月份的来历了II. Fun materials (趣味材料) A dead rabbitThis guy comes home from work one day to find his dog with the neighbors pet rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit is very dead and the guy panics. He thinks the neighbors are going to hate him forever, so he takes the dirty, chewed-up rabbit into the house, gives it a bath, blow-dries its fur, and puts the rabbit back into the cage at the neighbors house, hoping that they will think it died of natural causes.A few days later, the neighbor is outside and asks the guy, Did you hear that Fluffy died? The guy stumbles around and says, Um. no. um. what happened?The neighbor replies, We just found him dead in his cage one day, but the weird thing is that the day after we buried him we went outside and someone had dug him up, gave him a bath and put him back into the cage.
