2. 你好，山姆大叔！ Who Is Uncle Sam? Do you know who Uncle Sam is? Is he a star or a hero? In fact, “Uncle Sam” is not a real man. It is a symbol of America and the American government. During the War of 1812, a meat packer named Samuel sold meat to the U.S. Army. On the barrels of meat, he stamped “U.S.” That means “United States.”

16. 课外点拨 Culture 端午节的别称 你知道吗？在我国的传统节日中，端午节有20多种不同的叫法，堪称节日别名之最。下面就让我们来了解一下其中几种别称的来历吧。 一． 重午节：午，属十二支，农历五月为午月，五、午同音，五、五相重，故端午节又名“重午节”或“重五节”，有些地方也叫“五月节”。 二． 浴兰节：端午节时值仲夏，是皮肤病多发的季节，古人常用兰草汤沐浴，用于预防和治疗皮肤病，于是就有了“浴兰节”的别称。

17. 三． 解粽节：古人端午吃粽子时会玩一种游戏，比赛谁解下的粽叶长度最长，故又有“解粽节”之称。 四． 端礼节：沿袭湘南的习俗，人们会在五月初五在门上挂艾叶，用艾叶洗澡驱蚊。经过这一“洗礼”，就能驱走疟疾，安全地度过夏日多蚊的季节，因此端午又有“端礼节”之名。 五． 菖蒲节：古人认为端午是个犯禁忌的日子，此时五毒尽出，因此需要在门上悬挂菖蒲、艾叶等来驱邪避毒，故端午又名“菖蒲节”。
