Luck hat 幸运帽-（58-110906）
[i=s] 本帖最后由 sunny萝卜 于 2011-9-6 13:44 编辑 [/i]:qq55] [color=red][b]幸运的是，我们在储物柜里找到了这顶丢失的“幸运帽”。同样幸运的是，我发现戴不戴这顶滑稽的帽子，我都能交到好运。“所以，完美的演出并不是因为帽子，”玛瑞娅说，“那只是瞎猜而已，也许这是你过去一个月里反复练习的结果。”[/b][/color]
[color=red][b]你可以说幸运的原因有很多，包括做好准备，相信自己……也许还有那么一点点魔法。换句话说，好运正向你走来，但在它降临时，你要做好准备。[/b][/color]
[p=30, 2, left]Dear Arizona,[/p][p=30, 2, left]My brother is so lucky. Good stuff is always happening to him. Do you believe in luck? And if so, how can I get more of it?[/p][p=30, 2, left]—Looking for luck in Louisiana[/p][p=30, 2, left]Dear Looking,[/p][p=30, 2, left]I was eating breakfast with one hand, petting my cat, Cow, with the other, and reading the back of the cereal box, when—"YOUCH!" I screamed. "Why'd you pinch me?"[/p][p=30, 2, left]"You're not wearing green," said my little brother, Tex. "Everyone knows you get pinched if you don't wear green on [url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2003-03/10/content_517486.htm][font=Arial][color=#006699]Saint Patrick's Day[/color][/font][/url]!"[/p][p=30, 2, left]"It's true," said my little sister, Indi.[/p][p=30, 2, left]I was mostly mad about getting pinched, but also a tiny bit glad about being reminded that it was Saint Patrick's Day.[/p][p=30, 2, left]I panicked. "What am I going to do? I don't have time to change. I'll get pinched all day long!"[/p][p=30, 2, left]"Well," Tex said, taking the old green baseball cap off his head, "you could borrow my lucky hat."[/p][p=30, 2, left]"But it's your favorite!" I said.[/p][p=30, 2, left]"I know," said Tex. "Just promise to give it back after school."[/p][p=30, 2, left]"No problem," I said, glancing in the mirror on my way out the door. "I look like a goofball in this thing!"[/p][p=30, 2, left]"A lucky goofball!" said Tex.[/p][p=30, 2, left]"Humm." I grabbed my backpack. "Thanks, I think."[/p][p=30, 2, left]Now, before I go on, you should know that I'm not an overly superstitious person. I don't believe that thirteen is an unlucky number or that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck.[/p][p=30, 2, left]I definitely don't freak out if a black cat crosses my path. And when it comes to things like lucky four-leaf clovers and lucky pennies, I just never believed in them.[/p][p=30, 2, left]Anyway, I was racing to catch the school bus, and I saw a dollar on the sidewalk! I looked around to see if anyone was looking for it, but people just kept stepping on the poor thing, so I decided to rescue it. I'd found pennies and nickels before, but never a dollar![/p][p=30, 2, left]Then, I didn't miss the bus, because the bus was even later than me——which never happens![/p][p=30, 2, left]My luck didn't stop there. Carlos and Jackson were sitting behind me, quizzing each other on spelling words. I turned around and said, "You guys know that test isn't till tomorrow, right?"[/p][p=30, 2, left]"It got switched to this morning," said Jackson. "Remember? There's some assembly tomorrow."[/p][p=30, 2, left]"That's right-I totally forgot!" I said. "I'm so lucky that I sat in front of you. If I hadn't , I wouldn't have found out till it was too late!"[/p][p=30, 2, left]I got out my spelling words, studied all the way to school. And ended up acing the test![/p][p=30, 2, left]The minute I got home, I gave Tex a gigantic hug.[/p][p=30, 2, left]"This is the luckiest hat in the world," I said. "I'm never taking it off!"[/p][p=30, 2, left]"But you promised to give it back!" said Tex.[/p][p=30, 2, left]"I know, but…" I pretended to try to pull the hat off my head. "I think it's stuck."[/p][p=30, 2, left]"It is not!" said Tex.[/p][p=30, 2, left]"Please-oh-please let me borrow your lucky hat for one more day!" I begged. "Tomorrow I'm auditioning for the school play, and I need every bit of help I can get."[/p][p=30, 2, left]"OK," said Tex. "One more day. But you'd better be really nice to me."[/p][p=30, 2, left]"I will," I agreed. "In fact-here you can have my lucky dollar!"[/p][p=30, 2, left]Tex let out a whoop, then started dancing around and waving his gift in the air.[/p][p=30, 2, left]The next day turned out to be super lucky. My audition couldn't have gone better.[/p][p=30, 2, left]"Wow, Arizona!" said my friend Mareya. "I can't believe how amazingly you just did! You are so getting a major part in this play!"[/p][p=30, 2, left]"Thanks! You did really great, too!" I said. "But honestly, the only reason I did OK is because I had my lucky hat."[/p][p=30, 2, left]"What lucky hat?" asked Mareya.[/p][p=30, 2, left]"This one," I said, reaching into my backpack, where I thought I'd put Tex's hat since I couldn't wear it for the audition. But it wasn't there! "Oh no!" I cried. "It's gone! What am I going to tell Tex?"[/p][p=30, 2, left]Mareya helped me look for it. Luckily, we found Tex's hat in my locker. Also luckily, I discovered that I could be lucky with or without a goofy-looking cap in my possession.[/p][p=30, 2, left]"So it wasn't the hat," said Mareya. "This is just a wild guess, but maybe it was all those hours you spent practicing over the past month."[/p][p=30, 2, left]"Hmm," I said. "It's possible."[/p][p=30, 2, left]So, dear Looking, [color=red][b]I guess you could say that luck is a combination of being prepared, believing in yourself, … and maybe just a tiny bit of magic! In other words, luck may come your way, but you have to be ready for it when it does![/b][/color][/p][p=30, 2, left]Ciao for now[/p][p=30, 2, left]Arizona[/p][p=30, 2, left][attach]12389[/attach][/p][p=30, 2, left]CHINADAILY[/p] :qq55] [url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2003-03/10/content_517486.htm][font=Arial][color=darkgreen][b]Saint Patrick's Day[/b][/color][/font][/url][b][color=darkgreen]!"[/color][/b]
圣帕特里克节（St. Patrick's Day）是每年的３月１７日，是为了纪念[url=http://baike.baidu.com/view/17773.htm][color=#136ec2]爱尔兰[/color][/url]守护神圣帕特里克。这一节日5世纪末期起源于爱尔兰，如今已成为爱尔兰的国庆节。随着爱尔兰后裔遍布世界各地，现在，圣帕特里克节已经渐渐在一些国家成为节日。[url=http://baike.baidu.com/view/2398.htm][color=#136ec2]美国[/color][/url]从１７３７年３月１７日开始庆祝。
美国的圣帕特里克节这一天，人们通常要举行游行、教堂礼拜和聚餐等活动。美国的爱尔兰人喜欢佩带三叶苜蓿，用爱尔兰的国旗颜色——绿黄两色装饰房间，身穿绿色衣服，并向宾客赠送三叶苜蓿饰物等。
