World Sleep Day is to celebrate the benefits of good and healthy sleep. Sleep quality plays an important role in people's health. Researchers say that there are a lot of advantages (优点) if we always get enough sleep. We can be smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful. Also we're to have better skin, better memories and longer lives. When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it will influence (影响) your performance the next day. In general, adults need to sleep at least eight hours of sleep a night, but a recent survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of them really get a full eight hours of sleep and another 21% get less than six. For teenagers, a healthy sleep is about eight to nine hours per night. However, about 80% of high school students don't get enough sleep because of their schoolwork or some bad habits. Twenty­seven percent of people in the world have sleep problems. Now there are over 80 kinds of sleep disorders (紊乱), and most people know little about their danger. So, for our good life and work, it's necessary for us to realize the importance of sleep and try to have a good sleep. 【词海拾贝】 1．organize v. 组织，筹备 2．benefit n. 好处，益处 3．play an important role in... 在……中起重要作用 4．cheerful adj. 高兴的；令人高兴的；乐观的，开朗的 5．in general 通常，一般来说 【阅读理解】 阅读文本，回答以下问题 1．When is World Sleep Day?

How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a．m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the 学生用书第59页 frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared._____________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up.___________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ [读后续写四步曲] 第一步　通读全文，理清脉络 1．读要素，弄懂故事大意 本文大意：母亲节到了，家里的双胞胎想亲自为母亲做早餐，给母亲一个惊喜，但由于是第一次做早餐，没有成功，且Jeff还烫伤了手。 2．读人物，理清人物关系 Jenna, Jeff (the twins), Mother 3．读时态，确定主体时态 一般过去时 4．读结构，了解叙述方式 第1段：双胞胎Jenna和Jeff在母亲节前夕筹划在母亲节当天为妈妈做早餐。 第2－3段：Jenna和Jeff在母亲节那天为妈妈做早餐的过程：一开始很顺利，但后来不仅面包烤焦、溢出的粥扑灭了火，Jeff还烫伤了手。 续写部分：第一段主要讲述父亲出现后，看到双胞胎准备早餐的反应和行动；第二段则讲述母亲看到早餐后的惊喜和疑惑，了解完情况之后的感动不已，和双胞胎本身的感受。 由此可见，材料是按照事情发展的阶段来划分的。我们在构思续写时应从这个叙述方式去进行拓展。 5．读语言，把握语言特色 原文中的语言特色： (1)巧用时间状语从句 The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother's Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. (2)巧用“动作链”动作描写，增强画面感 Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. 第二步　依据首句，构思框架 1．读懂两段首句 第一段首句译文：当双胞胎失望地环顾四周时，他们的父亲出现了。 第二段首句译文：双胞胎把早餐送到楼上，叫醒了他们的母亲。 学生用书第60页 第一段框架：可设想父亲看到失望的双胞胎和凌乱的厨房，让他们打扫厨房，自己帮忙做早餐，做完早餐，溜回去装睡，双胞胎高兴地把早餐送给妈妈。 第二段框架：双胞胎叫醒妈妈，送上爱心早餐，妈妈先是惊喜、疑惑，推醒爸爸，后来感动不已，称这是最好吃的早餐，双胞胎很高兴，与父亲眨眼示意。 2．写好两个衔接句 第一段首句后的衔接句：With one look he knew what they were up to. 第二段首句后的衔接句：They hugged her and yelled “Happy Mother's Day, darling Mummy！” 3．写好一个升华句 第二段的尾句，即文尾句。能体现故事圆满结局的句子或故事给我们的启示的句子： Jenna caught her father's eye and they winked at each other secretly. 第三步　增加细节，展开续写 基于第一段的框架，我们可以补充以下细节： 父亲的心理语言描写(看了一眼就知道双胞胎在做什么)→父亲的动作、语言描写(看到双胞胎沮丧的脸色，父亲让他们打扫厨房，自己则帮忙做早餐)→双胞胎的情感、动作描写(双胞胎立刻高兴起来，按照父亲说的做)→环境描写(厨房清理好了)→父亲的动作描写(做好早餐，又溜回房间睡觉)→双胞胎的动作描写(准备好早餐托盘，加上他们制作的卡片，然后走出厨房) 基于第二段的框架，我们可以补充以下细节： 双胞胎的动作、语言描写(他们拥抱妈妈并大喊“母亲节快乐”)→母亲的动作描写(母亲抱住双胞胎，一看到早餐就瞪大了眼睛，还摇了摇假装睡着的父亲)→父亲的情感描写(父亲看到早餐时假装惊讶)→母亲动作、语言描写(母亲咬了一口三明治，说这是她吃过的最好吃的三明治)→Jeff的动作描写(Jeff立刻想咬一口)→Jenna和父亲的动作描写(Jenna看了父亲一眼，他们彼此眨眼示意) 第四步　检查优化，整洁誊写 As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.With one look he knew what they were up to. Seeing their depressed faces, he told them to clean up the kitchen while he helped them make breakfast for Mother. The twins cheered up and did as told. Within an hour, the kitchen was cleaned, and Father had made some egg sandwiches and cooked some pork porridge instead. Then he sneaked(溜进) back to bed. Meanwhile, the twins prepared the breakfast tray (托盘)，adding a card they had made, and then walked out of the kitchen. The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up.They hugged her and yelled “Happy Mother's Day, darling Mummy！” Mother hugged the twins. Her eyes widened at the sight of the breakfast tray. She shook Father who was pretending to sleep. He pretended to be astonished when he saw the breakfast. Mother bit into a sandwich and said it was the best sandwiches she had ever tasted. Jeff immediately wanted to have a bite. Jenna caught her father's eye and they winked(眨眼示意)at each other secretly. 中国传统节日 Spring Festival 春节 It falls on the first day of the first lunar month. People follow many national and local customs. We paste spring poems with luck words on the door. We eat delicious food with symbolic values, for example, chicken for good luck. We exchange greetings with friends and relatives. People may give children lucky money in red paper. 农历的正月初一是春节。人们遵循许多国家和地方的习俗。我们在门上贴带有吉祥词的春联。我们吃有象征意义的美味食物，比如鸡肉代表好运。我们和亲朋好友相互拜年问候。人们给小孩压岁钱。 学生用书第61页 Dragon Boat Festival 端午节 It is on the fifth of the fifth lunar month. It honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. People gather to watch the colorful “Dragon Boat Races”. People eat rice dumplings on that day. 端午节在农历五月初五。它是为了纪念古代诗人——屈原。人们聚在一起看龙舟比赛。人们在那一天吃粽子。 The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three major Chinese holidays, along with the Spring and Mid­Autumn Festivals. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B．C. The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water. 端午节与春节和中秋节并列为中国三大节日。这三个节日中，端午节可能是最古老的一个，它可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他对朝廷的腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来人们把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。 Over the years, the story of Qu's demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi—a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. 多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐渐演变成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一种包在竹叶中的米食)的传统。 Mid­Autumn Festival 中秋节 It is on the 15th of the eighth lunar month. People gaze at the “Lady in the Moon”，and eat moon cakes for family reunion and happiness. 中秋节在农历的八月十五。人们在那一天赏月，吃月饼，一家团圆，其乐融融。 Mid­Autumn Festival, also known as the reunion festival, is a traditional Chinese festival.According to Chinese calendar, August is in the middle of autumn, the second month of autumn and 15th is in the middle of August, so it is called “Mid­Autumn”． 中秋节，又称团圆节，是中国的传统节日。根据我国的历法，八月在秋季的中间，为秋季的第二个月并且十五是在八月的中旬，所以它被称为“中秋”。 The Moon of the Mid­Autumn Festival is full and symbolizes reunion, so it is also called the “reunion festival”. The Mid­Autumn Festival, with reunion of the full moon as a symbol of people's longing for their homeland and their relatives, wishes for a bumper harvest and happiness. 中秋节的月亮圆满，象征团圆，因而又叫“团圆节”。中秋节，以团圆的圆月作为人们对祖国和亲人思念的象征，希望五谷丰登，幸福美满。 　听力录音 单元检测卷(二)　Unit 2　Let's celebrate!

The Spring Equinox is the fourth term of the year. This term signals the equal length of the day and the night time. Many people hold various activities to celebrate the festival. Here are several things you may not know about it. Kite Flying In ancient times, people did not have good medical resources. So they wrote their health problems on paper kites. When a paper kite was in the air, people would cut off the string to let it fly away, meaning the disease would go away. Later flying kites developed into a popular game in spring. Three Hous The ancient Chinese people divided the fifteen days of the Spring Equinox into three hous or five day parts. As the old saying goes, “Swallows fly back to the North in the first hou; thunder cracks the sky in the second hou; lightning occurs frequently in the third hou, which shows the climate feature during the term.” Spring Vegetables It is a commonly practised custom to eat spring vegetables in many regions of China. Spring vegetables refer to the seasonal vegetables that differ from place to place.

I have volunteered to learn about global customs; my knowledge of my native culture is limited. I had boxed up my past before moving to America eight years ago, when a new continent considered my old self foreign. Here on the National Mall, I am the only means of communication between the Americans and the artisan (工匠), who were invited from China to display their talents. They see my awkward hand gestures as I test my mother tongue, speaking Mandarin (普通话) and putting it into English for visitors. The artisans possess exceptional skills. He Guoyao can read thousands of pictographic characters (象形文字) and bears the duty of passing on Dongba culture. Cheng Zhirong creates fantastic animal figures with a spoon and melted sugar in minutes. Standing among them, I wonder about the contributions a 16­year­old girl can make. “Ooh, it's so pretty！” A young girl sticks her nose close to a sugar dragon. Zhirong, the candy maker, signals to me, and I explain to the girl that the dragon is pure sugar. “Mommy, it's candy！” she excitedly says. “Beautiful... ” The crowd breathes _in_awe. One woman taps me on the shoulder, saying, “Please, tell her that her work is surreal... a gift from another world.” As Zhirong takes my hand and calls me “little sister”， I find my place in this group of extraordinary people who crossed oceans to build a bridge between different ethnicities and nationalities through sugar sculptures and painted words. I, too, am a bearer of traditions. I smile at Guoyao, as he paints in pictographic characters the English words I have taught him, “You're welcome.” I come to know that culture is not shelved behind glass cases in museums. It is in the life that I once thought backward and dull — the Chinese way of life that is a part of me. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为志愿者参加Smithsonian Folklife Festival，在活动期间见识了两名来自中国的手工艺人的卓越技巧，从而对自己曾经的中国身份感到自豪的故事。 24．Why does the author attend the Smithsonian Folklife Festival?

It's a five­day celebration that includes good food, fireworks, colored sand, and special candles and lamps. In honor of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, people make special prayers on the first day to obtain blessings for welfare, success, and well­being. People welcome the goddess into their homes by decorating entrances with colorful lanterns and traditional designs. In addition, many people treat themselves to fine jewellery, praying for good fortune. Those who cannot afford so much, seek out cheaper items such as clothes or household goods. The second day of the festival is called Kali Chaudas. For some, the day provides an opportunity to drive away misfortune from homes and businesses. They decorate their homes with clay lamps and create design patterns called Rangoli on the floor using colored powder or sand. The third day is when the biggest celebrations occur, which begin early in the morning with a visit to a temple to seek the blessing of the goddess. As the sun sets, festival observers light up their homes with small lamps and enjoy delicious traditional foods with their loved ones. The festival's fourth day is celebrated in many different ways. Friends and relatives visit with gifts, sweets and best wishes for the season. And the final day of the festival is called Bhai Dooj. It honors the close bond between brothers and sisters and is observed with traditional ceremonies and more delicious foods. For children in India, Diwali is similar to Christmas. They get an entire week off from school and are treated to gifts, new clothes, amazing food, and, in the past at least, a large number of fireworks. It is no wonder that the festival ranks high among the country's favorite celebrations. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。排灯节(Diwali)是印度的重要节日，在每年的这个时候，烟火和各种灯会照亮黑暗的夜晚，人们庆祝排灯节的活动持续五天，每天都有不同的意义。 28．People celebrate the first day of Diwali mainly for ________． A．good fortune B．colorful lanterns C．expensive jewellery D．traditional designs 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“In honor of Lakshmi... success, and well­being.”以及“In addition, many people... for good fortune.”可知，人们庆祝第一天是为了获得幸福，成功，安康的祝福，还会用珠宝装扮自己，以祈求好运。故选A项。 29．What's the probable purpose of creating Rangoli on the floor?

During the festival, big torches are made to stand in all villages, with small torches placed in front of the door of each house. When night falls, the torches are lit and the villages are bright. At the same time, people walk around the fields and houses, holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners. Inside the villages, young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night. Other activities like horse races are also held during the festival.

It is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar, and it will fall on May 31 next year. The festival is best­known for its dragon­boat races, especially in the southern places where there are many rivers and lakes. Besides, people always cook and eat rice dumplings made of glutinous rice and wrapped by bamboo leaves to celebrate it. People celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in honor of Qu Yuan, a great poet of ancient China.

The whole village feels very much like one happy family get­together when people from nearby cities or neighboring countries celebrate the festive season in their childhood homes. On Christmas Day, I woke up to the familiar (熟悉的) sound of my mother calling my name and knocking on my door. As is morning tradition on that day, everyone was preparing gifts for the festival. I quickly put on my favourite clothes. Along with my parents and two brothers, we walked a little more than a mile to the small village store. On our way there, my brother wisely advised me to ask for drinks as goods were likely to run out because of high need from the holiday. When I stepped into that small familiar store that still smells of childhood, it looked as if it were frozen in time. The shelves were stocked with the same village basics—cooking oil, salt, bread, candy, milk, stationery, matches, candles... As I was placing my drink orders, two young boys about 5 and 8 years old walked in with big smiles. Their clothes were oversized, old and tattered (破烂的). The older brother emptied his pockets, and placing a handful of coins on the counter (柜台), cheerfully explained they had been sent to buy food for Christmas. He asked for “two loaves of bread, cooking oil, milk and...” Before he could finish, the younger brother added, “Our mother said we could buy candy with the change.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 “It is only 24 cents change left. What would you like to buy？” said the shopkeeper.___ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ The two boys clapped hands (拍手), a traditional way of saying thanks to me.__________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 参考范文： “It is only 24 cents change left. What would you like to buy？” said the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was slightly annoyed that the kids had stopped my conversation with him. They pointed at different candies behind the glass display. “Five of those！” the younger brother said. “And five of the yellow ones, too. My sister likes them.” The shopkeeper said, “That is more than plenty for the change.” “It's OK, they can have whatever they want，” I said with a smile. “It's Christmas Day today, and you can add it to my order.” The two boys clapped hands (拍手), a traditional way of saying thanks to me. I told them to get whatever they wanted. “Can we add five candles, for Mum，Dad, my sister, my brother and me, too？” the older brother politely asked me. I nodded and the two brothers started dancing with joy. In all, their order cost me less than $5.But I could tell from their grinning faces that I might as well have been their Santa. With my drinks, I walked to my parents and brothers. We all smiled, seeing those happy figures gradually disappear in our vision. 学生用书第62页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
