In this voyage I visited my new colony on the island, saw the Spaniards（西班牙人）, had the whole story of their lives and of the villains（罪犯）I left there; how at first they treated the poor Spaniards badly, how they afterwards agreed, disagreed, unfired, separated, and how at last the Spaniards were forced to use violence with them; how they gave in to the spaniards, how honestly the Spaniards used them ---- a history, if it were entered into, as full of variety and wonderful accidents as my own part ---- particularly, also, as to their battles with the Caribbeans, who landed several times upon the Island, and as to the improvement they made upon the Island itself, and how five of them made an attempt upon the main land, and brought away eleven men and five women prisoners, by which, at my coming, I found about twenty young children on the Island．

Here I stayed bout 20 days, left them supplies of all necessary things, and particularly of arms, powder, shot, cloths, tools, and two workmen, which I brought from England with me, namely a carpenter and a smith．

Besides this, I shared the Island into parts with them, reserved to myself the property of whole  but gave them such parts resoeetively as they agreed on; and having settled all things with them and encouraged them not to leave the place, I left them there．

From then on I landed the Brazils, from where I sent a bark, which I bought there, with more people to the island; and in it, besides other supplies, I sent seven women, being such persons as I found proper for service, or for wives to such as would take them． As to the Englishmen, I promised them to send them some women from England, with a good cargo（船貨） of necessaries, if they would apply themselves to planting ---- which I afterwards could not perform． And the fellows proved very honest and diligent after they were mastered and had their properties set apart for them． I sent them also from the Brazils five cows, three of them being big with calf, some sheep, and some pigs, which when I came again were considerably increased．

But all these things, with an account how 300 Caribbeans came and invaded（入侵） them, and ruined their plantations, and how they fought with that whole number twice, and were at first defeated, and one of them killed; but at last a storm destroying most of their enemies’ boats, they destroyed almost all the rest, and renewed and recovered the possession of their plantation, and still lived upon the Island．

All these things, with some very surprising incidents in some new adventures of my own,  for ten years more, I may perhaps give a further account of the story．

“BANG! BANG!” Setting off firecrackers（爆竹）, which has been the most typical custom on the Spring Festival, is the happiest part of the Festival for most Chinese kids．They light the fuse（導(dǎo)火線）nervously, run away in a hurry, cover their ears with their hands and watch the colorful display with a big smile on their faces．Faced with the beautiful scene, they feel they are the happiest ones in the world as if they had never had a more exciting experience．

While setting off firecrackers can bring kids so much fun, these firecrackers can also be dangerous．Therefore, many Chinese big cities including Beijing began to ban them in the 1980s．Such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities because the government took security, noise and pollution factors into consideration．As a replacement, some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to, some break little balloons to get the sound too, while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room．

This year good news came for teens in Beijing．The ban on firecrackers was cancelled on September 9, 2008．It will add much fun to the coming Spring Festival in tile capital． Hearing the news, many kids were wild with joy．

According to Chinese custom, lighting firecrackers is a must during the Spring Festival．People believe the sound of the firecrackers drives away demons（惡魔）and bad luck for the coming year．Their beautiful colours and sound also bring much excitement during this most important traditional Chinese festival．

Since the ban, people complained that the Spring Festival was too quiet and not traditional enough．Children lost the fun and grown-ups lost their childhood memories．

Some even worried that if the ban continued, the next generation would only know the custom of lighting firecrackers through books．This would be a great loss for tradition．

Everybody knows that we can’t give up eating for the slight risk of choking（因噎廢食）．So in recent years, many cities have resumed the old custom at the request of local residents．This year Beijing kids will also be able to join in．

However, every year there are kids injured by setting off fireworks in a dangerous way．So while enjoying yourself, please bear safety in mind．

Don’t light fireworks among crowds, inside a bottle or with a part of your body right over it．

No matter how much fun firecrackers are, the most important thing is to keep away from danger．We wish every kid an exciting and safe Spring Festival!
