45、he 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

46、 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 (suc

47、h 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 format Related to the classification of a day as a specific calendar date is the format used to express that date. Even for any specific ca

48、lendar system, different formats are used. For example, the following formats all express the same date in the Gregorian calendar: Forms starting with the day This sequence is common to the vast majority of the world's countries, and is used as the accepted international date usage. 16/11/2001, 1

49、6.11.2001, 16-11-2001 or 16-11-01 16th of November 2001 16th November 2001 16 November 2001 16 Nov 2001 Forms starting with the year 2001 November 16 2001-11-16: the ISO 8601 International formal standard ordering for dates, often formatted to be especially easily read and sorted by com

50、puters. It's 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 month This sequence is common to a smaller number of countries. November 16, 2001 Nov. 16, 2001 11/

51、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 (

52、day, month, year) was revived around 1900. Canada uses both conventions, those starting with the day and those starting with the month. 3.英語十二個月份名稱由來 英語中的月份均來自于拉丁語，其中大多為羅馬神的名字。 一月January：源于羅馬神話中一位叫Janus的兩面神，他的腦袋前后各長有一副面孔，古羅馬錢幣上也?？逃衅湫蜗蟆anus是天宮的守門人，每天早晨把天宮的門打開，讓陽光照耀大地；晚上把門關上，讓夜幕降臨。古羅馬人在每年的第一天和每天清晨

53、都要向他祈禱，以求事事順利。難怪羅馬人將他的名字作為一月。 二月February：源于羅馬的一種大掃除的慶典活動，名為“Februal”?；蛟S是因為到了這個時候，漫長的冬季已過，人們開始打掃庭院，迎接春天的到來。 三月March：是根據(jù)羅馬神話中戰(zhàn)神的名字命名的。這個戰(zhàn)神叫Mars，很有力量。三月時有雷雨天氣，羅馬人總把Mars和雷電聯(lián)系在一起。 四月April：羅馬的四月，正是大地回春。鮮花初綻的美好季節(jié)。英文四月April便由拉丁文April(即開花的日子)演變而來。? 五月May：由女神Maia名字而來。Maia年輕貌美，被稱為“田野之神”。? 六月June：是由眾神之王宙

54、斯的妻子Juno的名字命名的。? 七月July：來自古羅馬開國大帝凱撒（Julius Caesar）的名字。因他七月出生，故將七月以他的名字命名。 八月August：則是由凱撒大帝的繼承人奧古斯都大帝（Auguetus）的名字命名的。Auguetus不能容忍凱撒的七月比他的八月多一天，就把二月的一天移到八月，這樣八月也有31天，而二月只剩28天或29天了。 并非每個月份都有這樣的故事。四月的另一種說法是來自于拉丁語Avril意為“之后”，“第二”，因在凱撒之前的古羅馬歷法中，每年的第一個月份是三月。九月September、十月October、十一月November和十二月Decembe

55、r也分別來自于拉丁語Sptem、Octo、Novem和Decem，分別意為“seven、eight、nine、ten”。這樣，自然就明白這４個月份的來歷了 II. Fun materials (趣味材料) A dead rabbit This guy comes home from work one day to find his dog with the neighbor's pet rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit is very dead and the guy panics. He thinks the neighbors are going

56、 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 neighbor's house, hoping that they will think it died of natural causes. A few days later, the neighbor is outside and asks the guy, "Did

57、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 int
