March

“March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb”
來如雄獅去似羔羊的月份 - 「三月來如雄獅，去似羔羊」

Happy World Book Day! In the United Kingdom and Ireland, students again celebrate the first Thursday of March as World Book Day. On this day, students receive special coupons for free or discounted books from some bookstores. The United States celebrated the National Education Associations' Read Across America Day on March 1 this year - the day before Dr. Seuss'birthday.

March is not just a month that celebrates the joy of reading, however. In the U.S., March is celebrated as Women's History Month and American Red Cross Month. In addition, on the first Wednesday of March, mathematics - World Maths Day - is celebrated. For math enthusiasts, the mathematical constant Pi, 3.14159, also has a special day on March 14.

March's gemstone, aquamarine, reminds people to stay calm while its flower, the daffodil symbolizes friendship and happy homes. For those living in the northern hemisphere, March can have very dynamic weather changes. This is due to the shift between seasons. "Lion" weather often begins the month with cold temperatures and wind. By the end, "lamb" - or mild -spring weather has arrived. This is the time that animals begin to wake up from their winter slumber and look for food.
