Friday，June 6th，happens to be National Donut （甜甜圈）Day．Since the only way to celebrate this important holiday is by eating the sweet rings，you really have no choice but to eat up a few or even more than ten!

    And while it may sound like a special celebration dreamt up by donut factories to increase sales，the idea of the holiday can be followed a11 the way back to World War One．In 1917．when women volunteers were sent to look after injured US soldiers，they noticed how homesick the men were．To try to cheer them up，the women decided to make donuts for the soldiers．Not surprisingly，the treats worked well!

    In 1938，when the"Great Depression"（大萧条）happened to the country，volunteers from Chicago spent a day selling fresh donuts．However this time around it was not just to cheer up American people，but also to raise money for the charity（慈善）The event was such a success that it is now celebrated every year by the whole country，on the first Friday of June．What's even better is that this year．Dunkin Donuts is giving away free donuts with drink，making it the first World Donut Day!Many stores take part in this fun tradition，so be sure to check if you are ready to give out free treats!
