The Danish capital is a year-round destination.Here are some of the city’s best annual events.

Roskilde Festival(July)

The Danes love the outdoors and they love rock music;the Roskilde Festival is where they combine these passions for a weekend of drunken celebration.The four-day event is held about 30 minutes from the city completely,which means you can either go in for the full festival experience,or you can travel from the city to the festival each day.

There are also day tickets if you don’t have the power for the whole collection of facts.

Kulturnatt en(October)

For something a little more high brow there’s the Night of Culture.For one night only some 300 venues in the city stage theater performances,art exhibitions,concerts and poetry readings.

Father Christmas Congress(July)

One of the more bizarre fixtures in Copenhagen’s calendar,the event is held in July—the slow season for Santas—at the Bakken amusement park,some 20 minutes north of the city.The most interesting of the event is a procession of Santas from all over the world along Strget.Parents should be prepared for some embarrassed questions from the kids.

Tivoli Gardens(November/December)

These pleasure gardens make for a great day out any time of the year but to see them at their most attractive,visit from mid-November through December,when they are transformed into a fairy tale of lanterns and Christmas markets.There’s also outdoor skating,a Christmas entertainment and the very Danish‘Nissekbing’village,home to more than 100 mechanical fairies.

In this farming community where nightfall usually brings clear. starry(满天星斗的)skies,   people are devoted to reported sightings of what many believe is a UFO.

Several dozen people, including a pilot, a county police and some business owners, insist they have seen a large silent object with bright lights flying low and fast. Steve Allen, an air-transporting company owner and pilot, said the object he saw last week was a mile long and half a mile wide.

While David Lawrance, a federal official, insisted there’s a logical explanation, the locals  swear that it was larger, quieter, faster and lower to the ground than an airplane. They also said  the object’s lights changed shape, unlike those of a plane. People in several towns who reported  seeing it over several weeks have offered similar descriptions of the object. Jamy Sorrells said  friends made fun of him when he to1d them he saw a flat, metallic object circling about 300 feet over a farm behind his home. But he decided to come forward after reading similar accounts in the Stephenville Empire-Tribune. “It feels good to hear that other people saw something, because that means I’m not crazy. ” Sorrells said.

Karl Lewis. a spokesman for the 301st Fighter Wing at the Air Base in Fort Worth, said no F—16s or other aircraft from his base were in the area the night of January 8, when most people reported the sighting. Lewis said the object may have been an illusion(幻影)caused by two  commercial airplanes. “I’m 90 percent sure their was an airliner, ” Lewis said, “With the sun’s angle, it can play tricks on you”. Officials at the other two air force bases in this region also said none of their airplanes were in the area last week .

He Qiangcheng, 22, a senior and geology major from Sichuan Normal University, has almost given up trying to act like his childhood hero, Lei Feng.

 “I once tried to help a woman with heavy luggage, and she gave me a suspicious look,” he complains. “Then another time, when I returned a lost dining card to the canteen, the staff asked me to use up the cash on it rather than bothering to find the owner.” But, despite having met with rejections, He still wants to be like his idol. His hero, Lei Feng, was a People’s Liberation Army soldier who came to represent altruism(无私), modesty and devotion.

March 5 marks the 50th year of Lei’s death. In 1963, Chairman Mao Zedong designated the day as “Learn From Lei Feng Day” and started a national campaign for people to copy his deeds.

Several decades after the campaign was initiated, there has been a debate about whether the spirit of Lei lives on, and whether an altruistic role model is relevant any more in a materialist society.

Some think it no longer rings a bell. “In a world when everyone emphasizes the importance of ‘me’, many of my peers think there’s little ground for giving up one’s interests purely for the sake of others,” says Lin Zi’en, 19, a sophomore English major from South China Normal University in Guangdong.

Commentators, however, point out those who regarded Lei’s spirit as being outdated have misinterpreted its meaning. Yang Haibin, deputy secretary of China Communist Youth League Beijing Committee said, “Learning from Lei Feng could be a mutually caring and benefiting act, which is the basis of civilized society. And, Lei’s spirit can be modern and relevant, says Yang. He believes that lending a helping hand for no reward is an early form of volunteering. “It’s also about being content with a simple and humble way of life,” Yang says.

Hu Danhua, 21, an international business major from China University of Political Science and Law, agrees. “I’ve gained peace of mind and spiritual fulfillment through small acts of kindness, such as teaching village pupils. I could obtain it from nowhere else,” Hu says.

A. Lei’s spirit is out of date.                           B. Lei’s spirit is like a ring.

C. Lei’s spirit is as good as a bell.                 D. Lei’s spirit is the same as a bell ring.
