The winter holidays are a special time at the White House. Each year, about 44,000 people come to see the holiday decorations or to attend holiday parties at the President’s home in Washington, D.C.
I was able to attend a press preview of the holiday decorations recently, which was hosted by First Lady Laura Bush. This year’s theme for the decorations is “All Things Bright and Beautiful.” The decorations are all made of fresh flowers, garlands(花环), and fruits. The flowers will have to be changed every few days to keep the look fresh.
The main Christmas tree is in the Blue Room. It’s an 18-foot fir tree—tall enough that the chan-delier(吊灯) had to be removed to make room for it. Fresh white lilies(百合), crystal garlands, and white lights decorate the White House Christmas tree. The room smells of pine and lilies.
Mrs. Bush was asked whether she called the tree a holiday tree or a Christmas tree. “We know that Americans celebrate the season in a lot of different ways,” she said. “We’ll have a party and a reception here at the White House later during the month. But I think we’ve always called this the White House Christmas tree.”
Another centerpiece of the decorations each year is the gingerbread house(姜饼屋), made by chief Thaddeus Dubois.“This is his second gingerbread house,” Mrs. Bush said. “And this year Dubois painstakingly(辛苦地，辛勤地) made it special.” The gingerbread house was made with 100 pounds of gingerbread, 150 pounds of white and dark chocolate, and clear, poured sugar windows. A strand of white lights inside the Gingerbread White House made it glow.

First lady Laura Bush announced that she plans to focus America’s attention on making sure that all young children are ready to read and learn when they start school and on recruiting the best and brightest to the detaching profession. She will also highlight the need for more Americans to become teachers. And she will encourage everyone, from young adults to retirees, to bring their talents, energy and enthusiasm to classrooms throughout the nation. Learning to read starts long before a child starts school, and reading skills help make children good students. Reading skills make all other skills possible, she noted.

In 1989, doctors at Boston City Hospital created a programme known as Reach Out and Read（ROR）. In ROR clinics, doctors actually ‘prescribe” that parents read to their children. Volunteers in waiting rooms show parents creative ways to read to their children, and every child leaves with a new book. In 1997, Mrs. Bush helped start a ROR programme in her home state of Texas. With her support, more than 60 ROR l=clinic sites have opened in Texas. As the nation’s First Lady, she is committed to supporting ROR in communities across the country.

Finally ,Mrs Bush will encourage others to pursue teaching as a career. “As a former public school teacher and librarian, I have tremendous respect for people who teach,” she said. “Teaching is challenging, sometimes thankless, but incredibly rewarding. We need many more dedicated Americans to teach our children how to learn so that they may ultimately lead successful lives.” She will encourage America’s best and brightest college students, professionals, and military retirees to bring their talents and experiences to classrooms across the nation, especially in inner-city schools where the need is greatest.
