I planned to return home atnoon for lunch. However, when I arrived at the door of my residential buildingfor lunch, I couldn’t find my key card. To ask for help, I pressed the roomnumber of a neighbor who I think is nice. All of sudden, a bell seemed to ring.It was so loud that I thought I must have triggered the fire alarm. So I ranaway to the gate of our residential community and asked a security guard forhelp. I told him what had happened and he agreed to open the door for me. He couldn’tfigure out why the siren was on, either. When I got back home, I checked the shortmessages of the past few days on my cell phone and one of them says: “There isgoing to be a citywide test of the air siren between 11:35 am and 11:58 am onSeptember 18.”Let’s all rememberhistory and empower ourselves.Topic forDiscussionIn some countries,in memory of some historical figures or some significant historical events,their birthdays are legalized as public holidays. For example, Birthdayof Martin Luther King, Jr., is on the third Monday in January,Washington’s Birthday is on the third Monday in February, Columbus Dayis on the second Monday in October, and Veterans Day is on November 11. Do you think Chinamay legalize September 18 as a public holiday? Why or why not?第一集警报由于中秋节调休，我这个星期六正常上班。我计划中午回家吃午饭。然而，当我到达我的住宅楼大门时，我却找不到我的门卡。为了寻求帮助，我按下了一个邻居的门牌号，她一向很友好。突然，铃响了，声音很大，我想我一定是触发了火警。于是我跑到我们住宅区门口向一名保安求助。我告诉他发生了什么事，他同意为我开门。但他也搞不懂为什么警笛响了。当我回到家时，我查看手机上过去几天的短信，发现其中一条说："9月18号上午11点35分到11点58分之间，全市范围内都会对空气警报器进行测试。让我们都铭记历史，砥砺前行。讨论主题在一些国家，为了纪念一些历史人物或一些重大历史事件，他们的生日被法律规定为公共假日。例如，小马丁·路德·金的生日是一月的第三个星期一，华盛顿的生日是二月的第三个星期一，哥伦布日是十月的第二个星期一，退伍军人节是十一月十一日。你认为中国需要把9月18号规定为公共假日吗？为什么或为什么不呢？
