But in the Pascuccihousehold, it was always a big day of celebration. Every year on the day after ThanksgivingAnthony Pascucci, the family patriarch, woke up excited to string lights and decorate thelawn of his home in Beth-page, New York. On Christmas Eve in 2020, the whole house twinkled with lights, and gifts were piledunder the tree. Everyone was looking forward to enjoying another Christmas together as afamily. Then Connie got a call：Someone she worked with had tested positive for COVD-19.Though Connie didn't have any symptoms, she decided to get tested right away. Her rapidtest came back positive. Anthony Sr., Anthony Jr., and Sara decided they should all get testedtoo. When their results came back, they all learned that they also had COVID-19. Sadly.everyone agreed their Christmas celebration would have to be canceled. At first, everyone’s symptoms seemed manageable. But right after the new year, onJanuary 4, Anthony Sr. started having trouble breathing. Anthony Jr. took him to the hospital,where he was admitted. Five days later, Connie began feeling weak and wouldn't eat. Saracalled an ambulance for her, but Connie died before they got to the hospital. Less than aweek later, Anthony Sr, passed away. Sara says the next weeks were the worst of her life. She felt as if she was in a fog. Griefleft her doubled over in pain,On top of that, “we were still recovering firom COVD-19ourselves," she says. One day in February, Sara received an envelope in the mail. It had no return address“Take your Christmas lights down! It's Valentine’s Day!!!” the unsigned letter read. Saralooked at the paper in shock. Then she got angry. “We were already dealing with so much, she says. Sara could have bottled up that anger, but she decided to write about it instead.“]wanted to remind people that we all had a tough year, We all have been through so much andpeople should be a little more caring toward each other,"’ she says. She logged on to a local Long Island Moms Facebook group and shared the letter,adding a note of her own: “For anyone in the Bethpage area- if you know of a person whowould do something so insensitive like this, please pass along my message.” She ended thepost with this: “'Be kind to people because you never know what they are going through.” Others in the group rallied to Sara's side. Her inbox quickly filled with messages ofsupport. A local news station learned what had happened and ran a segment about it. Peoplefrom all around the area started sending Sara letters and Facebook messages about howthey'd lost relatives, too, and how it was especially tough to lose loved ones around theholidays. The prevailing sentiment from firiends old and new: Keep the Christmas lights up. “I know what it feels like to lose someone and not want to put their things away. It'svery hard," one man told her when he stopped by with roses. Neighbors sent meals and cardsin support. Someone even set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the funeral expenses.“I wasn’t expecting that much support,” Sara says. “But having it helped us get througha rough time, just knowing that people could relate.” And then something strange began to happen. Sara was driving back from work one daywhen she noticed that Christmas lights and decorations were appearing or reappearing onneighbors’ houses. In most cases, Sarah knew for a fact that the families inside these houseshad already taken down their holiday lights. The mystery had a sweet explanation: Herneighbors had gotten together and decided, collectively, to hang their lights back up and turnthem back on in honor of Anthony Sr. and Connie. “I couldn't believe that someone would send her this letter,” neighbor KarenMcGuggart told the Washington Post. “Losing her wonderful dad, whom all the neighborsloved, and her beautiful aunt, who was always smiling, is such a tragedy. We [were]heartbroken.” So they --like dozens of others in their neighborhood and surroundingarea-got out the ladder and set about reinstalling their holiday lights and decorations tosupport her. The shows of support by their neighbors were a reminder that most people have good hearts. “To see the lights and the block lit up again,’”’ Sara says, “it touched my heart.” Sara never learned the identity of the Scrooge who sent the note. But for the Pascuccifamily, that one mean-spirited act was far outweighed by so many more acts of kindness. Theshows of support by their neighbors were an important reminder that “the good doesoutweigh the bad and most people have good hearts,” she says. After a couple of weeks, Sara and Anthony Jr, decided they were ready to take down the lights. Sara said it was hard to pack them away “but not as hard as I think it would have beenif we didn't experience all that support and love." As for this Christmas, Sara says, “We arenot going to make it a sad holiday. We will keep the tradition going. We're definitely goingto do something big." And if they make their display bright enough, she believes her dad andaunt might even be able to see it from heaven. 在灯光中升起 对有些人来说，挂圣诞彩灯是又一个节日任务。但在帕斯库奇家里这总是一个盛大的庆祝日。每年感恩节后的那一天，家族族长安东尼·帕斯库奇都会兴奋地起床挂彩灯，装饰他家位于纽约贝斯佩奇的草坪， 2020年的平安夜，全家灯火通明，圣诞树下堆满了礼物，大家都期待着一家人一起享受又一个圣诞节。 然后，康妮接到一个电话:她同事的新冠检测结果呈阳性。虽然康妮没有任何症状，但她决定立即接受检测。她的快速检测结果呈阳性。老安东尼、小安东尼和莎拉决定他们也应该接受检测。当他们的检测结果出来时，他们都发现自己也感染了新冠。可悲的是，每个人都同意他们的圣诞庆祝活动不得不取消。 起初，每个人的症状似乎都是可控的。但新年后，1月4日，老安东尼开始呼吸困难。小安东尼带他去了医院，他被收治入院。五天后，康妮开始感到虚弱，不想吃东西。莎拉打电话叫了救护车，但康妮在救护车到达医院前就去世了。不到一周后，老安东尼去世了。 萨拉说，接下来的几周是她生命中最糟糕的时期。她觉得自己仿佛身处迷雾之中。悲伤让她倍感痛苦。除此之外，“我们自己还在从COVID-19中恢复，”她说。 “把你们的二月份的一天，萨拉收到了一个没有回邮地址的信封。圣诞彩灯拿下来!今天是情人节!!!这封没有署名的信上写着。萨拉震惊地看着信纸，然后她生气了。“我们已经应付得够多了她说。 萨拉本可以压抑这种愤怒，但她决定写下来。“我想提醒人们，我们都有过艰难的一年。我们都经历了太多，人们应该更加关心彼此，”她说。 她登录了当地的 Longlsland Moms Facebook小组，并分享了这封信，还附上了一条她自己的信息:““对于贝斯佩奇地区的人来说，如果你知道有人会做这样无情的事情，请把我的信息传递下去。”她以这句话结束了帖子:“善待他人，因为你永远不知道他们正在经历什么。 小组里的其他人纷纷支持萨拉。她的收件箱很快就被支持的信息塞满了。当地一家新闻台得知了事情的经过，并对此进行了报道。来自该地区的人们开始给萨拉写信，并在Facebook上给她留言，说他们也失去了亲人，在节日期间失去亲人尤其令人难过。 新老朋友的普遍看法是：把圣诞彩灯照亮。 “我知道失去亲人的感觉，不想把他们的东西收拾起来。这很难”-个男人带着玫瑰花经过时告诉她。邻居们送来食物和卡片表示支持。有人甚至设立了一个GoFundMe页面来帮助支付葬礼费用。 “我没想到会有这么多支持，”萨拉说，“但它帮助我们度过了一段艰难的时期，因为我们知道人们可以产生共鸣。’, 然后，奇怪的事情发生了。有一天，萨拉下班开车回家，她注意到邻居家的圣诞彩灯和装饰品又出现了。萨拉知道，大多数情况下，这些房子里的家庭已经拆掉了他们的节日彩灯。这个谜团有一个甜蜜的解释:她的邻居们聚在一起，决定集体挂起他们的彩灯，重新点亮它们，以纪念老安东尼和康妮。 我不敢相信有人会给她寄这样一封信，”邻居凯伦·麦格加特对《华盛顿邮报》说，“失去她亲爱的爸爸，邻居们都爱戴他;还有她美丽的姨妈，她总是面带微笑，这真是一场悲剧。我们伤心欲绝。”于是，他们--就像邻居和周边地区的其他几十个人一样-一搬出梯子，开始重新安装他们的节日灯饰和装饰品来支持她。 邻居们表示的支持提醒了人们，大多数人都有善良的心灵。“触动了我的心。看到灯光和街区又亮起来，”萨拉说， 萨拉从未得知寄出纸条的斯克鲁奇的姓名。但对帕斯库奇一家来说这个刻薄的行为远远比不上其他许多善举。她说，邻居们的支持提醒了她们，““善行还是多于恶行，而且大多数人的内心都是善良的” 几周后，莎拉和安东尼小儿子决定，他们准备关灯了。莎拉说，把它们打包起来很难“但是，如果我们没有经历所有的支持和爱，我认至于今年的圣诞节，莎拉说，“我们不会让它成为为会难上加难。-个悲伤的节日。我们会让传统继续下去。我们肯定会做一些大事。”如果他们能让他们的展示足够明亮，她相信她的父亲和姨妈甚至可以从天堂看到它。 背景知识 Christmas lights (also known as fairy lights) are lights used for decoration in celebration of Christmas, often on display throughout the Christmas season including Advent and Christmastide. The custom goes back to when Christmas trees were decorated with candles, which symbolized Christ being the light of the world; these were brought by Christians into their homes in early modern Germany. 圣诞彩灯是用于庆祝圣诞节的装饰灯，展示时间通常贯穿整个圣诞季，包括降临节(圣诞节前四周)和圣诞节期(12月24日至1月6日)。这个风俗可以追溯到早期近代德国，基督教徒在家中用蜡烛装饰圣诞树，象征耶稣是世界的光明。 Sara never learned the identity of the Scrooge who sent the note.斯克鲁奇（Scrooge）是著名作家狄更斯的《圣诞颂歌》中的主人公，他原本是一个自私透顶的吝啬鬼，连乞丐都不愿意向他讨钱。在圣诞节前夕，他的一个同事Jacob化作鬼魂来看望他。Jacob警告他，如果他还像以前那样自私的话，他的来生将不得好报。但斯克鲁奇只把他当做耳边风。随后，代表过去、现在和将来的三个鬼魂前来拜访他，向他展示了一个人只顾金钱，缺乏人性的悲惨下场，从而唤醒了他的人性。于是，在鬼魂拜访后的第二天，斯克鲁奇变成了一个慷慨大方的好人，并第一次感到了真正的快乐。后来，人们就用斯克鲁奇的名字scrooge来表示吝啬鬼或守财奴。 文章生词 · lawn n.草坪;草地 · twinkle v.闪烁 · positive adj.阳性的 · manageable adj.易控制的 · insensitive adj.漠不关心的 · rally v.公开支持 · segment n.(特定广播或电视节目的)时间段 · prevailing adj.盛行的 · sentiment n.观点，看法，情绪 短语积累 look forward to 期待;期盼 right away 立刻;马上 passed away 去世;逝世 double over 在腰部弯起 in pain 处于痛苦中;疼痛 in shock 处于震惊状态 bottle up 压抑情绪;克制 log on 登录;注册 set up 建立、创立;准备、安排 get through 通过、度过 take down 拆卸、摘下 in honor of 为了纪念 dozens of 许多、大量 set about 开始;着手 lit up 点燃 优秀句式 【原句1】 Sara was driving back from work one day when she noticed that Christma sights and decorations were appearing— or reappearing on— neighbors’ houses. 【翻译】一天，Sara正开着车下班回家突然她注意到圣诞节彩灯和装饰都出现了--确切的说是重新出现在了邻居们的房间里。 【原句2】The shows of support by their neighbors were an important reminder that“the good does outweigh the bad and most people have good hearts.” 【翻译】邻居们的支持是一个重要的提醒即“这个世界上善意总是比恶意多的。” 时文阅读 01—小哥与陌生邻居隔墙合奏 Back in February, 2021, a young man living in London posted a video on TikTok about his new neighbor—and heir unbelievable piano talent!

If you're having a meal with others, then make sure you use good manners while you're eating to show that you're respectful. 　1． 　 Set your phone in silent mode or to vibrate, and keep it in a pocket or bag throughout your meal.

I'll be right back". 　2． 　 Don't start eating as soon as you sit down since it's rude to start if people don't have their food. Instead» patiently wait in your seat before you take your first bite. 　3． 　 When you need to cut something, hold the knife in your right hand and your fork in your left. Once you cut your food, you can either use your fork in your left hand or set your knife down so you can use your fork with your right hand. 　4． 　 Chewing with your mouth open or talking while you're eating is usually considered rude since no one wants to see the food in your mouth, lake small bites of your food and chew it completely with your mouth closed. 　5． 　 If you need to go to the bathroom during the meal, say "Excuse me" before standing up so others know you need to go somewhere.

Passage B I used to think that manners were a thing of the past because seldom had I met a young man who was as kind and polite as the older generation. However, a recent experience changed my 6． Two weeks ago, I went to a coffee shop with my two 7． . There were too many people there and we had to go up to the second floor to find a(n) 8． table. After enjoying our coffee, we walked to the staircase(楼梯) which was not wide enough so there was hardly any 9． for another person to either climb up or come down. In a word， it was impossible for two people to walk side by side. Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a young man 10． the coffee shop through the main entrance which was right in front of the staircase. It seemed that he wanted to go 11． I was sure that I would be pushed 12． aside by this young man. I thought he would climb the stairs 13． . I kept going down as fast as I could, holding on to the banister(扶手). My two daughters were already down. They looked up at me, hoping I would reach them 14． the young man walked up the stairs. When I almost reached them, I noticed that the young man was still standing near the 15． . As my daughters and I passed by, I found that he was holding the door open. I thought that he had perhaps not decided whether to go in or to find another less 16． place. After we walked out of the coffee shop, I 17． , just seeing the young man going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and 18． felt good. We did not even thank the gentleman who had 19． to let us come down first and held the door open for us before he hurried to go upstairs. It is hard to find such 20． young people these days, with so much jostling (推挤) and pushing all around us.

As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman poorly dressed sitting near the shop. I knew from the first sight that he needed help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was enjoying it. It was clear that he had a problem with his right eye. I then joined the line and waited to be served. Then it happened一one of the most beautiful gestures I had ever seen in my life. There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served. The next thing I knew was that the young man handed the waitress 20 dollars and requested a glass of juice as a favor. The waitress looked at the young man a little perplexed, not fully understanding the request. That was when the young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside, as well as the change from the 20 dollars. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe. Then there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I could take a photo of the smiles on both of their faces. As I was considering this event later, I wondered why the young man didn't perform this act of kindness himself. Maybe he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspireothers to do something for this old man as well. 21．The old gentleman outside the coffee shop.

Passage E Clara Daly was sitting on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when she heard a worried voice over the loudspeaker, "Does anyone know American Sign Language （ASL）?" Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button （按钮）. An air hostess came by and explained the situation. "We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf, " she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he's traveling alone and she couldn't understand what he needed. Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people. She knew she'd be able to fingerspell into the man's hand. So she rose from her seal, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt （跪）by the seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she signed, "How are you? Are you OK?" Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while. "He didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk, " Clara said. So for the next hour, she talked about her family and plans for the future. Cook told Clara how he had become blind and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. "Even though he couldn't see her, she looked attentively at his face with such kindness, " a passenger reported. "Clara was amazing, " an air hostess told Alaska Airlines in an interview.

Passage F In our daily life, direct questions are usually used to ask for information we do not know. Direct questions are either yes/no questions such as "Are you married?" or information questions such as "Where do you live?". It's OK to ask your friends or someone you know well direct questions. But they can seem abrupt and impolite at times, especially when you are asking a stranger. For example, if you come up to someone and ask "What time is it?" or "Can you move?", he/she may refuse to help you. It is certainly correct to ask questions in this way, but it's very common to make these kinds of questions more polite by adding "Excuse me" or "Pardon me" to begin your questions. "Excuse me, when does the bus leave?" or "Pardon me, may I sit here?" sounds more polite. It's also possible to use "can" in more informal (非正式的) situations. In the past, "can" was not used when asking for something, but only to refer to abilities. In the United Kingdom, Cambridge University publishes (出版) English teaching materials with the phrase "Can you lend me" "Can I have", etc. In the United States, this form is still considered to be incorrect, especially for written English, and "May I have" is preferred. Questions with "can" are made more polite by using "could": "Pardon me, could you help me?" "Would" can also be used to make questions more polite. "Would you let me borrow your pencil?" is also polite. Another way of making direct questions more polite is to add "please" at the end of the questions. We can say "Could you help me, please?" "Please" should not appear at the beginning of the questions. 31. The underlined word "abrupt" means "__________" in Chinese. A．唐突的 B．温和的 C．严肃的 D．无礼的 32. According to the passage, the writer thinks ___________. A．we shouldn't ask direct questions in daily life B．it's OK to ask strangers direct questions C．it's not enough to ask questions correctly D．we must know someone well before asking questions 33. From the third paragraph, we can know _________. A．"can" was only used to ask for abilities before B．people in America like using "can" better C．questions with "can" are more polite in written English D．questions with "can" are also polite in informal situations 34. Which of the following is WRONG? A．Yes/No questions are also direct questions. B．Questions with "please" at the beginning are more polite. C．Questions with "would" at the beginning are more polite. D．"Excuse me" can be used at the beginning of questions. 35. What does the passage mainly tell us? A．How to make direct questions more polite. B．How to use some phrases correctly. C．How to make requests correctly. D．How to change the ways we speak. Passage G It is not nice when someone refuses to do something for us. But what many people find even 　1． 　(difficult) is to be the one who has to refuse to do something for someone else. And knowing how to say "No" to someone 　2． 　(polite) is quite difficult. I was a worker and had a co-worker who was a very good friend of 　3． 　(I). His name is Joe. We had been friends for three years.

As time went by, I noticed that Joe asked me for help on the very same task over and over again. He just asked me for help because he didn't know how to do it. He was too lazy 　7． 　(write) down what I told him. I realized that the more I answered. With a "Yes", the more I was being used by my co- worker. I knew 　8． 　if I didn't clearly draw a line and have the courage to say "No", I would have less and less time to do my own work. It's time to stop being 　9． 　 (anybody) helper so that you can finally live your life the way you want it to be. So we should learn to say "No" to others. Not only will it help them, but it will 　10． 　help us ourselves. Passage H My name is Gina. I live in Bridge Street, which is a tidy and clean community. There is a big mall near my house. I 　 　 (normal) go there for shopping on weekend. You can buy all kinds of things in 　 　clothes section (部分). The clothes there are nice and 　 　 (expensive). Many people come there to choose their favorite clothes. In the fruit section, you can find many kinds of fresh fruits, such as apples, bananas, grapes and so 　 　. The staff there are friendly and they always answer your questions 　 　 (polite). So if you are in trouble, you can ask 　 　 (they) for help. There is also a big underground 　 　 (park) lot beside the mall. It's very convenient for you to park your car there.

But in the Pascuccihousehold, it was always a big day of celebration. Every year on the day after ThanksgivingAnthony Pascucci, the family patriarch, woke up excited to string lights and decorate thelawn of his home in Beth-page, New York. On Christmas Eve in 2020, the whole house twinkled with lights, and gifts were piledunder the tree. Everyone was looking forward to enjoying another Christmas together as afamily. Then Connie got a call：Someone she worked with had tested positive for COVD-19.Though Connie didn't have any symptoms, she decided to get tested right away. Her rapidtest came back positive. Anthony Sr., Anthony Jr., and Sara decided they should all get testedtoo. When their results came back, they all learned that they also had COVID-19. Sadly.everyone agreed their Christmas celebration would have to be canceled. At first, everyone’s symptoms seemed manageable. But right after the new year, onJanuary 4, Anthony Sr. started having trouble breathing. Anthony Jr. took him to the hospital,where he was admitted. Five days later, Connie began feeling weak and wouldn't eat. Saracalled an ambulance for her, but Connie died before they got to the hospital. Less than aweek later, Anthony Sr, passed away. Sara says the next weeks were the worst of her life. She felt as if she was in a fog. Griefleft her doubled over in pain,On top of that, “we were still recovering firom COVD-19ourselves," she says. One day in February, Sara received an envelope in the mail. It had no return address“Take your Christmas lights down! It's Valentine’s Day!!!” the unsigned letter read. Saralooked at the paper in shock. Then she got angry. “We were already dealing with so much, she says. Sara could have bottled up that anger, but she decided to write about it instead.“]wanted to remind people that we all had a tough year, We all have been through so much andpeople should be a little more caring toward each other,"’ she says. She logged on to a local Long Island Moms Facebook group and shared the letter,adding a note of her own: “For anyone in the Bethpage area- if you know of a person whowould do something so insensitive like this, please pass along my message.” She ended thepost with this: “'Be kind to people because you never know what they are going through.” Others in the group rallied to Sara's side. Her inbox quickly filled with messages ofsupport. A local news station learned what had happened and ran a segment about it. Peoplefrom all around the area started sending Sara letters and Facebook messages about howthey'd lost relatives, too, and how it was especially tough to lose loved ones around theholidays. The prevailing sentiment from firiends old and new: Keep the Christmas lights up. “I know what it feels like to lose someone and not want to put their things away. It'svery hard," one man told her when he stopped by with roses. Neighbors sent meals and cardsin support. Someone even set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the funeral expenses.“I wasn’t expecting that much support,” Sara says. “But having it helped us get througha rough time, just knowing that people could relate.” And then something strange began to happen. Sara was driving back from work one daywhen she noticed that Christmas lights and decorations were appearing or reappearing onneighbors’ houses. In most cases, Sarah knew for a fact that the families inside these houseshad already taken down their holiday lights. The mystery had a sweet explanation: Herneighbors had gotten together and decided, collectively, to hang their lights back up and turnthem back on in honor of Anthony Sr. and Connie. “I couldn't believe that someone would send her this letter,” neighbor KarenMcGuggart told the Washington Post. “Losing her wonderful dad, whom all the neighborsloved, and her beautiful aunt, who was always smiling, is such a tragedy. We [were]heartbroken.” So they --like dozens of others in their neighborhood and surroundingarea-got out the ladder and set about reinstalling their holiday lights and decorations tosupport her. The shows of support by their neighbors were a reminder that most people have good hearts. “To see the lights and the block lit up again,’”’ Sara says, “it touched my heart.” Sara never learned the identity of the Scrooge who sent the note. But for the Pascuccifamily, that one mean-spirited act was far outweighed by so many more acts of kindness. Theshows of support by their neighbors were an important reminder that “the good doesoutweigh the bad and most people have good hearts,” she says. After a couple of weeks, Sara and Anthony Jr, decided they were ready to take down the lights. Sara said it was hard to pack them away “but not as hard as I think it would have beenif we didn't experience all that support and love." As for this Christmas, Sara says, “We arenot going to make it a sad holiday. We will keep the tradition going. We're definitely goingto do something big." And if they make their display bright enough, she believes her dad andaunt might even be able to see it from heaven. 在灯光中升起 对有些人来说，挂圣诞彩灯是又一个节日任务。但在帕斯库奇家里这总是一个盛大的庆祝日。每年感恩节后的那一天，家族族长安东尼·帕斯库奇都会兴奋地起床挂彩灯，装饰他家位于纽约贝斯佩奇的草坪， 2020年的平安夜，全家灯火通明，圣诞树下堆满了礼物，大家都期待着一家人一起享受又一个圣诞节。 然后，康妮接到一个电话:她同事的新冠检测结果呈阳性。虽然康妮没有任何症状，但她决定立即接受检测。她的快速检测结果呈阳性。老安东尼、小安东尼和莎拉决定他们也应该接受检测。当他们的检测结果出来时，他们都发现自己也感染了新冠。可悲的是，每个人都同意他们的圣诞庆祝活动不得不取消。 起初，每个人的症状似乎都是可控的。但新年后，1月4日，老安东尼开始呼吸困难。小安东尼带他去了医院，他被收治入院。五天后，康妮开始感到虚弱，不想吃东西。莎拉打电话叫了救护车，但康妮在救护车到达医院前就去世了。不到一周后，老安东尼去世了。 萨拉说，接下来的几周是她生命中最糟糕的时期。她觉得自己仿佛身处迷雾之中。悲伤让她倍感痛苦。除此之外，“我们自己还在从COVID-19中恢复，”她说。 “把你们的二月份的一天，萨拉收到了一个没有回邮地址的信封。圣诞彩灯拿下来!今天是情人节!!!这封没有署名的信上写着。萨拉震惊地看着信纸，然后她生气了。“我们已经应付得够多了她说。 萨拉本可以压抑这种愤怒，但她决定写下来。“我想提醒人们，我们都有过艰难的一年。我们都经历了太多，人们应该更加关心彼此，”她说。 她登录了当地的 Longlsland Moms Facebook小组，并分享了这封信，还附上了一条她自己的信息:““对于贝斯佩奇地区的人来说，如果你知道有人会做这样无情的事情，请把我的信息传递下去。”她以这句话结束了帖子:“善待他人，因为你永远不知道他们正在经历什么。 小组里的其他人纷纷支持萨拉。她的收件箱很快就被支持的信息塞满了。当地一家新闻台得知了事情的经过，并对此进行了报道。来自该地区的人们开始给萨拉写信，并在Facebook上给她留言，说他们也失去了亲人，在节日期间失去亲人尤其令人难过。 新老朋友的普遍看法是：把圣诞彩灯照亮。 “我知道失去亲人的感觉，不想把他们的东西收拾起来。这很难”-个男人带着玫瑰花经过时告诉她。邻居们送来食物和卡片表示支持。有人甚至设立了一个GoFundMe页面来帮助支付葬礼费用。 “我没想到会有这么多支持，”萨拉说，“但它帮助我们度过了一段艰难的时期，因为我们知道人们可以产生共鸣。’, 然后，奇怪的事情发生了。有一天，萨拉下班开车回家，她注意到邻居家的圣诞彩灯和装饰品又出现了。萨拉知道，大多数情况下，这些房子里的家庭已经拆掉了他们的节日彩灯。这个谜团有一个甜蜜的解释:她的邻居们聚在一起，决定集体挂起他们的彩灯，重新点亮它们，以纪念老安东尼和康妮。 我不敢相信有人会给她寄这样一封信，”邻居凯伦·麦格加特对《华盛顿邮报》说，“失去她亲爱的爸爸，邻居们都爱戴他;还有她美丽的姨妈，她总是面带微笑，这真是一场悲剧。我们伤心欲绝。”于是，他们--就像邻居和周边地区的其他几十个人一样-一搬出梯子，开始重新安装他们的节日灯饰和装饰品来支持她。 邻居们表示的支持提醒了人们，大多数人都有善良的心灵。“触动了我的心。看到灯光和街区又亮起来，”萨拉说， 萨拉从未得知寄出纸条的斯克鲁奇的姓名。但对帕斯库奇一家来说这个刻薄的行为远远比不上其他许多善举。她说，邻居们的支持提醒了她们，““善行还是多于恶行，而且大多数人的内心都是善良的” 几周后，莎拉和安东尼小儿子决定，他们准备关灯了。莎拉说，把它们打包起来很难“但是，如果我们没有经历所有的支持和爱，我认至于今年的圣诞节，莎拉说，“我们不会让它成为为会难上加难。-个悲伤的节日。我们会让传统继续下去。我们肯定会做一些大事。”如果他们能让他们的展示足够明亮，她相信她的父亲和姨妈甚至可以从天堂看到它。 背景知识 Christmas lights (also known as fairy lights) are lights used for decoration in celebration of Christmas, often on display throughout the Christmas season including Advent and Christmastide. The custom goes back to when Christmas trees were decorated with candles, which symbolized Christ being the light of the world; these were brought by Christians into their homes in early modern Germany. 圣诞彩灯是用于庆祝圣诞节的装饰灯，展示时间通常贯穿整个圣诞季，包括降临节(圣诞节前四周)和圣诞节期(12月24日至1月6日)。这个风俗可以追溯到早期近代德国，基督教徒在家中用蜡烛装饰圣诞树，象征耶稣是世界的光明。 Sara never learned the identity of the Scrooge who sent the note.斯克鲁奇（Scrooge）是著名作家狄更斯的《圣诞颂歌》中的主人公，他原本是一个自私透顶的吝啬鬼，连乞丐都不愿意向他讨钱。在圣诞节前夕，他的一个同事Jacob化作鬼魂来看望他。Jacob警告他，如果他还像以前那样自私的话，他的来生将不得好报。但斯克鲁奇只把他当做耳边风。随后，代表过去、现在和将来的三个鬼魂前来拜访他，向他展示了一个人只顾金钱，缺乏人性的悲惨下场，从而唤醒了他的人性。于是，在鬼魂拜访后的第二天，斯克鲁奇变成了一个慷慨大方的好人，并第一次感到了真正的快乐。后来，人们就用斯克鲁奇的名字scrooge来表示吝啬鬼或守财奴。 文章生词 · lawn n.草坪;草地 · twinkle v.闪烁 · positive adj.阳性的 · manageable adj.易控制的 · insensitive adj.漠不关心的 · rally v.公开支持 · segment n.(特定广播或电视节目的)时间段 · prevailing adj.盛行的 · sentiment n.观点，看法，情绪 短语积累 look forward to 期待;期盼 right away 立刻;马上 passed away 去世;逝世 double over 在腰部弯起 in pain 处于痛苦中;疼痛 in shock 处于震惊状态 bottle up 压抑情绪;克制 log on 登录;注册 set up 建立、创立;准备、安排 get through 通过、度过 take down 拆卸、摘下 in honor of 为了纪念 dozens of 许多、大量 set about 开始;着手 lit up 点燃 优秀句式 【原句1】 Sara was driving back from work one day when she noticed that Christma sights and decorations were appearing— or reappearing on— neighbors’ houses. 【翻译】一天，Sara正开着车下班回家突然她注意到圣诞节彩灯和装饰都出现了--确切的说是重新出现在了邻居们的房间里。 【原句2】The shows of support by their neighbors were an important reminder that“the good does outweigh the bad and most people have good hearts.” 【翻译】邻居们的支持是一个重要的提醒即“这个世界上善意总是比恶意多的。” 时文阅读 01—小哥与陌生邻居隔墙合奏 Back in February, 2021, a young man living in London posted a video on TikTok about his new neighbor—and heir unbelievable piano talent!

That was when the young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside, as well as the change from the 20 dollars. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe. Then there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man.

So for the next hour, she talked about her family and plans for the future. Cook told Clara how he had become blind and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman.

Direct questions are either yes/no questions such as "Are you married?" or information questions such as "Where do you live?". It's OK to ask your friends or someone you know well direct questions. But they can seem abrupt and impolite at times, especially when you are asking a stranger. For example, if you come up to someone and ask "What time is it?" or "Can you move?", he/she may refuse to help you. It is certainly correct to ask questions in this way, but it's very common to make these kinds of questions more polite by adding "Excuse me" or "Pardon me" to begin your questions. "Excuse me, when does the bus leave?" or "Pardon me, may I sit here?" sounds more polite. It's also possible to use "can" in more informal (非正式的) situations. In the past, "can" was not used when asking for something, but only to refer to abilities. In the United Kingdom, Cambridge University publishes (出版) English teaching materials with the phrase "Can you lend me" "Can I have", etc. In the United States, this form is still considered to be incorrect, especially for written English, and "May I have" is preferred. Questions with "can" are made more polite by using "could": "Pardon me, could you help me?" "Would" can also be used to make questions more polite. "Would you let me borrow your pencil?" is also polite. Another way of making direct questions more polite is to add "please" at the end of the questions. We can say "Could you help me, please?" "Please" should not appear at the beginning of the questions. 31. The underlined word "abrupt" means "__________" in Chinese. A．唐突的 B．温和的 C．严肃的 D．无礼的 32. According to the passage, the writer thinks ___________. A．we shouldn't ask direct questions in daily life B．it's OK to ask strangers direct questions C．it's not enough to ask questions correctly D．we must know someone well before asking questions 33. From the third paragraph, we can know _________. A．"can" was only used to ask for abilities before B．people in America like using "can" better C．questions with "can" are more polite in written English D．questions with "can" are also polite in informal situations 34. Which of the following is WRONG? A．Yes/No questions are also direct questions. B．Questions with "please" at the beginning are more polite. C．Questions with "would" at the beginning are more polite. D．"Excuse me" can be used at the beginning of questions. 35. What does the passage mainly tell us? A．How to make direct questions more polite. B．How to use some phrases correctly. C．How to make requests correctly. D．How to change the ways we speak. 参考答案：31. A 32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【分析】本文介绍了日常生活中的一些礼貌用语的使用。 31. 词义猜测题。根据 if you come up to someone and ask "What time is it?" or "Can you move?", he/she may refuse to help you如果你走到某人面前问"现在几点了？"或者“你能动吗？”，他/她可能会拒绝帮助你 ，可知突然问别人问题很突然，abrupt是唐突的，故选A。 32. 推理题。根据It is certainly correct to ask questions in this way, but it's very common to make these kinds of questions more polite by adding "Excuse me" or "Pardon me" to begin your questions. "Excuse me, when does the bus leave?" or "Pardon me, may I sit here?" sounds more polite以这种方式提问当然是正确的，但在开始提问时加上“对不起”或“对不起”，使这类问题变得更有礼貌，可知作者认为正确地问问题是不够的，故选C。 33. 细节题。根据It's also possible to use "can" in more informal (非正式的) situations.在更非正式的情况下也可以使用“can”，可知从第三段，我们可以知道用“can”提问在非正式场合也更礼貌 ，故选D。 34. 细节题。根据"Please" should not appear at the beginning of the questions请不要出现在问题的开头，可知开头带有“请”的问题更有礼貌是错的 ，故选B。 35. 主旨题。根据全文描述日常生活中的一些礼貌用语的使用，可知本文主要介绍如何让直接提问更有礼貌 ，故选A。 Passage G It is not nice when someone refuses to do something for us.
