This festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan, an upright and honest poet and statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river. 　　The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes peoples attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period, these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork. 　　Besides, the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice). Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong zi into the river to feed his ghost every year. 　　With the changes of the times, the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the significance of the festival might be different with the past, it still gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage. 2011年专四作文真题：Should private car owners be taxed for pollution?（私家车是否应该交污染税）——关于环境） 写作指南： 这是典型的立场观点选择题型要求考生确立自己的观点，然后进行论证。 本文要求学生就“”私家车是否应该交污染税”这一话题发表自己的意见。 第一部分：分析现状：私家车越来越多，环境污染日益严重，“污染税”提出 的背景，进而提出自己的观点：私家车应该交污染税。 第二部分：从两方面进行阐述。首先由于私家车造成环境问题，所以私家车有 义务交税，为国家环境建设所用。其次纳税能提高人们的环保意识。 第三部分：进行总结，再次表明自己的观点。 经典范文Should private car owners be taxed for pollution? 　　With the development of society, many people can afford a car.
