Some women say they need time to be alone.
At Mother's Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, "Mom, what's for dinner?" No husband will say, "Oh, dear, I can't find any clean socks." In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job - taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.
In the United States, working wives do about 75% of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can't find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.
Some women go to Mother's Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don't cook, they don't clean, and they don't look after their children and husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home. They have a really wonderful vacation at Mother's Camp !

are the highlights. However, both events go by the same name-the Dragon Boat Festival. It falls on May 5th
of the lunar calendar.
One festival, two cultures. Does one nation have the right to call it its own? It has been reported that
South Korea will ask the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO联合国教
科文组织) to make the celebration its cultural heritage (文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries
may see the Dragon Boat Festival as a Korean creation.
As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation (情
况). "It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own
cultural heritage before China," said Zhou Heping, deputy cultural minister. The Ministry of Culture is even
thinking of making its own application (申请) to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including
the Dragon Boat event.
"I don't like some of the food eaten at the festival, but I am shocked by South Korea's move," said Jin
Yutong, a Senior One student."We should protect the cultural heritage left by our ancestors (祖先)."
It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278BC), who lived in the
State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by
ordinary people. He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country's future.
When people heard about Qu's death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also
beat the drums to fright away fish and threw Zongzi into water. These were supposed to stop the fish from
touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to have come from the search for the poet's body.
Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Vietnam, as well
as South Korea, the festival has mixed together with, and become part of the local culture.
With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue (争论) about which country the festival
belongs. "Everyone can say that it came from China," said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province.
"But if the whole nation can protect the culture heritage together, they will all benefit."
