Happy New Years!

  Today is March 17th.About two and a half months ago, I said“Happy New Year!”to many of my friends.About fifty days ago, I said the same thing to some other friends.In about four days, I’ll say the same wishes to yet another group of friends.I’ll do the same thing in July and also in September.“How can that be?”you might ask(if you ‘re from Western Europe or the Americas).“Everyone knows that New Year’s Day is in Januare!”

  In fact, the date of New Year’s Day depends on the calendar(日历)-and I have friends who use one or more of five different calendars to keep track of at least part of their lives:

  ●January 1st:New Year’s Day on the Western/international calendar

  ●In January or February(in 2006, January 29 th):New Year’s Day on the Chinese calendar(China, Korea, and a few other places)

  ●March 21st:New Year’s Day on the traditional Persian(波斯)calendar

  ●Mid-July(usually the 16 th):New Year’s Day on the Isamic(穆斯林)calendar

  ●September:New Year’s Day on most Eastern Orthodox Church(东正教)calendars(Central and Eastern Europe)and, usually, on the Jewish calendar

  And these are just the New Year’s Days that I know about!As a matter of fact, there are probably even more!

  The Guidance Department (教导处) at Burrville High School has a staff (职员) of eleven. Most of their work is done with the students. But the staff sees a lot of parents, too.

  “Parent meetings make clear monthly pattern(模式),”says Mildred Foreman, Guidance Director. “This pattern stays much the same from year to year. The busy months. are October, March and May.”

  September, the beginning of a new school year, starts rather slowly. Few parents come in. Most of these want to talk about the schedules (日程安排). October brings many behaviour (行为) problems. Some parents are called in. Others come by themselves. Things quiet down in November. December is a quiet month. “It's the holiday,”my Foreman says. “People want to come in, I know, but they decide to wait until after New Year's Day.”

  Report cards go home just before Christmas holidays, Bad marks (分数) bring parents in as school reopens. This happens again in March, another report card month. May is always the year's busiest month. That's when parents begin to think that their children may be held back (留级). They come in to see if anything can be done before things are decided in June.
