As parents, they try to keep that magic alive for their children for as long as they can. [课文对译]　 来自童年时代的圣诞老人的魔力，很多人(长大以后)还依然记得。为人父母之后，他们也想让自己的孩子尽可能长久地相信这份魔力的存在。 That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who regard ① Christmas as a special time of year. The man who wrote these letters is one of the most famous names in English literature — J．R.R.Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings. The letters were Tolkien's way of keeping Father Christmas alive for his four children, over a period of more than twenty years. [课文对译]　 有些人把圣诞节视为每年的特别时光，对于他们，《圣诞老人的来信》是再合适不过的书了。写这些信的人是英国文坛的一位巨匠——《魔戒》的作者J.R.R.托尔金。在二十多年的时间里，托尔金以写信这种方式让他的四个孩子相信圣诞老人真的存在。 [难句破解]　 句①　本句是That is why ...结构，意为“那就是为什么……”，why引导的是表语从句，表语从句中又含有一个who 引导的定语从句，修饰those。句中的could 表示一种不确定的语气。 Every Christmas, an envelope with a North Pole stamp arrived. It was addressed to Tolkien's children. Who could it be from? The children must have been very excited . Inside, they would find a handwritten letter from Father Christmas.The letters were also beautifully illustrated — long time to complete. [课文对译]　 每年圣诞节，托尔金的家里都会收到一封贴有北极邮票的信，收信人是托尔金的孩子们。会是谁寄来的呢？孩子们打开时一定非常兴奋。他们会看到里面有一封圣诞老人的亲笔信。信里还配着精美的插图——它们真正的作者托尔金一定花了很长时间去完成每一幅画作。 [难句破解]　 句②　此处是as引导的时间状语从句。 句③　本句是sth. takes sb. some time to do结构。句中使用了must have done结构，表示对已发生动作的肯定推测，意为“肯定做了某事”。 The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas's life and adventures at the North Pole.

In another letter, Father Christmas complained about how he could not stop his helpers playing games with the toys instead of wrapping them up. Interestingly, the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children their presents if they were not good. ： [课文对译]　 这些信里讲述了圣诞老人在北极生活和探险的精彩故事。信中经常出现的一个角色是北极熊。有一次，它爬上北极(在信中，北极是一根真的杆子)，结果摔下来砸穿了圣诞老人家的屋顶。在另一封信中，圣诞老人抱怨说，他那些助手们非但没有把玩具包装起来，反而拿着玩具玩起了游戏，他怎么也没法让他们停下来。值得关注的是，信里并没有那些常见的对孩子的警告，比如表现不好就可能得不到礼物之类的话。不过，随着托尔金的孩子们渐渐长大，信的内容确实发生了一些变化： [难句破解]　 句④　此处是who引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Polar Bear, who在定语从句中作主语。这里who采用了拟人的修辞手法。 句⑤　此处是that引导的同位语从句，是对抽象名词warnings的进一步解释说明。该同位语从句被介词短语to children分隔开了，且该同位语从句中又包含if引导的条件状语从句。 句⑥　此处助动词did强调谓语动词change, as引导时间状语从句。 ...but if you find that not many of the things you asked for have come, and not perhaps quite as number of poor and starving people. [课文对译]　 “……但是，如果你发现自己并没有得到很多你想要的东西，有时甚至所获无几，请你记住，在这个圣诞节，世界上还有很多贫穷而饥饿的人。” [难句破解]　 句⑦　本句的主干是祈使句remember that ... people；if you find ... as many as sometimes是if引导的条件状语从句，其中又含有that引导的宾语从句。 Letters from Father Christmas tells us that as well as enjoying the adventures of Father Christmas, Polar Bear and other characters at the North Pole, we can all share the true spirit of giving at Christmas time. By expressing love for his children in such a special way, been the real Father Christmas. [课文对译]　 《圣诞老人的来信》告诉我们，在圣诞节，除了欣赏圣诞老人、北极熊和其他一些生活在北极的人物的冒险故事之外，我们还可以共同体会真正的给予精神。托尔金用这样一种特别的方式来表达对儿女的爱，他可以算得上是真正的圣诞老人。 [难句破解]　 句⑧　may have done表示立足于现在，对过去可能发生的事情的推测，意为“可能做了某事”。 课文2　Time for a Change？(传统该不该变？) Social Insights A family dinner is an important tradition to celebrate Spring Festival. Nowadays, some people choose to have the dinner in a restaurant, but not everyone is keen on this idea. What do our readers think? [课文对译]　 社会洞察 年夜饭是春节的一项重要传统。如今，有些人选择在饭店吃年夜饭，不过，不是每个人都支持这一想法。读者朋友们，你们怎么看呢？ Dear Editor， We have eaten out for the Spring Festival family dinner for the last three years, and we have enjoyed it no less than eating at home. I don't understand why some people refuse to embrace the change. Can't they admit that the preparations for the dinner are hard work? I really don't think it's ① worth the effort of spending so much time preparing for a single meal, and then another hour cleaning up the mess after it's over. We work all year, so why can't one day be about spending time with family and relaxing? Eating out is a good choice and it has nothing to do with loss of traditions. We still have the dinner with the same people, just in a different place. The occasion is more enjoyable without all that tiring cooking, and the dishes taste better! In my opinion, really doesn't matter. Eating out may change the form of this tradition, but the love between the family members together remains the same. Wang Peng, software engineer [课文对译]　 尊敬的编辑， 最近三年，我家都是在外面吃年夜饭的，和在家吃比起来，在外面吃一样开心。我不理解为什么有些人拒绝接受改变。 难道他们不觉得准备年夜饭很辛苦吗？花这么长时间准备一顿饭，饭后再花一个小时收拾，我真心觉得不值。辛苦一年了，为什么不能用这一天的时间陪陪家人，放松放松呢？ 在外面吃年夜饭是个挺好的选择，而且这也谈不上丢弃传统。我们还是和同样的人一起吃饭，只是换了地方而已。不用辛苦地做饭，用餐会更加愉快，而且(饭店的)饭菜味道也更好！ 在我看来，除夕夜我们吃什么、在哪里吃，真的不重要。在外面的饭店吃年夜饭可能改变了这个传统的表现形式，但是围坐在餐桌前的家人之间的亲情并没有改变。 王鹏，软件工程师 [难句破解]　 句①　本句是一个主从复合句。it's worth ...over是宾语从句，作think的宾语，省略了连接词that；从句中 spending so ...the mess为 spend some time (in) doing sth.结构。 句②　此处为what or where引导的主语从句，其谓语动词用单数形式。 句③　此处为现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰 the family members。 Dear Editor， For this year's Spring Festival family dinner, my son has booked a table at the best restaurant in town, but I'm a bit unhappy about it. For me, it just won't feel like Spring Festival having the dinner out. forward to most. opportunity to have our whole family gathered together. I would run around the house, their year. I'd get under my mother's feet in the kitchen, . She'd put tokens in some dumplings: candies for a sweet life and peanuts for a long and healthy one. In the evening, all of us would sit around the table, enjoying the food and being together again. We toasted each other, we laughed, and the simple, homemade dishes tasted more delicious than anything cooked by a top chef. I hope my children and their children will still value our memories of preparing the dinner together. To me, the process is even more important than the dinner itself. Liu Yonghui, retired teacher [课文对译]　 尊敬的编辑， 今年我儿子在城里最好的饭店订了桌年夜饭，可我不怎么高兴。对我来说，在外面吃年夜饭就不像过年。 小时候，我最期待的就是除夕的年夜饭，不仅可以吃到平时难以吃到的美食，而且全家人能有机会团聚在一起。那时我会在家里跑来跑去，听大人们闲聊他们这一年的情况。我还会缠着在厨房做饭的妈妈，看她包饺子。她会在有些饺子里放一点儿“彩头”：糖果寓意生活甜美，花生代表健康长寿。到了晚上，我们都围坐在餐桌前，享受美食和团圆的乐趣。大家互相敬酒，谈笑风生，简简单单的家常菜吃起来比顶级大厨做的菜都要美味。 我希望我的子孙后代依旧珍视全家人一起做年夜饭的回忆。对我来说，准备的过程甚至比年夜饭本身更重要。 刘永辉，退休教师 [难句破解]　 句④　when引导时间状语从句， what引导的是表语从句。 句⑤　本句中not only ...but ...连接了两个并列的表语。第一个表语中，that引导的定语从句，修饰food；第二个表语中，to have ...together为不定式短语作后置定语修饰抽象名词opportunity, have our ...together为“have＋宾语＋done”结构。 句⑥⑦　两处都为现在分词短语作伴随状语，且都属于“感官动词＋宾语＋宾语补足语(v.-ing/v.)”结构。 三、词汇记忆无诀窍，适时“回首”记得牢 1．honour v．　　　　 　 向……表示敬意 搭配|in honour of 为纪念……；为向……表示敬意 2．dragon n. 龙 3．lunar adj. 月球的 4．poet n. 诗人 拓展 5．harvest n. 收成 6．decoration n. 装饰物 decorate v. 装饰，布置，美化 7．freedom n. 自由，自由权利 拓展|free adj. 自由的，随心所欲的 8．participate v. 参加，参与 搭配|participate in 参加，参与 拓展|participation n. 参加，参与 9．vote v. 投票，表决 10．regardless adv. 不管，不顾 搭配|regardless of 不管，不顾 11．inequality n.

(二)单元主题优美语段背诵 语段1　母亲节 The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. They hugged their mother tightly and yelled, “Happy Mother's Day, dear Mummy！” The mother hugged the twins. Her eyes widened at the sight of the breakfast tray. The mother bit into a sandwich and said it was the best one she had ever tasted. 双胞胎把早餐端上楼，然后叫醒了妈妈。他们紧紧地拥抱着妈妈，大喊：“母亲节快乐，亲爱的妈妈！” 妈妈抱住双胞胎。她一看到托盘上的早餐就(惊讶地)睁大了眼睛。妈妈咬了一口三明治，说这是她吃过的最棒的(早餐)。 语段2　春节 The Spring Festival，though it is celebrated today, has seen many changes, the country's economic development and globalization. Many customs associated with the Spring Festival have changed. In the past, people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today, many people, especially the youth, use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even “gifts” to their relatives and friends. Some may say this is a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones, but we can see this development as a time-and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age. 虽然现在仍然庆祝春节，但它已经见证了很多变化，以及国家的经济发展和全球化。 与春节相关的许多习俗发生了变化。在过去，人们常常带着礼物和许多美好的祝福去拜访亲戚和朋友。今天，许多人，尤其是年轻人，使用他们的手机或互联网发送他们的美好祝愿，甚至“礼物”给他们的亲戚和朋友。有些人可能会说，这是一个表明人们已经变得不那么关心他们亲近的人的迹象，但我们可以把这种发展看作是信息时代赋予的一种省时省力的做法。 五、主题集群阅读，拓展主题认知 时尚悦读(一)　环球游记 10 January, a wedding ceremony, India When Nadim invited me to his sister's wedding, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime.I was definitely not wrong!

Here are three readers' accounts to our magazine, in which the readers shared their experiences and views about it. Tom Jenkins: a 16-year-old exchange student living in Nanjing It was my first time spending Spring Festival in China with my host family. Spring Festival is highly valued by every Chinese family. Preparations began a week before the festival. First, the house was cleaned from top to bottom. My host mother Mrs Chen said this was to sweep away the dirt of the past year and get ready for the new year. Next, the Chinese character Fu was attached upside down to our front door. when Fu is put upside down, happiness arrives. The character looked really cool. The greatest excitement began the night before Spring Festival. Fireworks were being let off across the city, suddenly lighting up the night sky. Children were covering their ears but with an expectant look on their faces. Mrs Chen said that letting off fireworks was to scare away the monster Nian. The fireworks were a lot of fun! We then sat together to enjoy a big dinner, wishing everyone a happy new year. Xu Gang: a 28-year-old computer engineer working in Shanghai I usually start planning my trip home to Shanxi weeks before Spring Festival, as train tickets or flights have to be booked as early as possible. I take great care in choosing gifts for my parents. This year, I bought a bottle of wine for my father and a beautiful sweater for my mother. Every year, ， I am surrounded by Shanxi accents — I know that I am heading home to my family. I don't get to travel back to Shanxi very often, so when I get home, my parents will fill me in on what's been happening — who has got married or had children or gone away to university. It's great to hear what everyone's been up to. We usually have hotpot — it's so tasty! However, what we eat isn't the most important thing. It's a wonderful thing to be back together with my family and talk of old times. When I was a kid, Spring Festival was all about firecrackers, sweets and decorations. part of it. Li Yan: a 70-year-old grandmother from Heilongjiang Spring Festival is family time for us. My husband and I are both retired. We do not see our children and grandchildren very often and we miss them a lot. Weeks before Spring Festival, we start getting ready for their homecoming. Things start to get really busy. We think about what the children would like to eat, what we need to buy and what dishes need to be prepared. Our house buzzes with activities when everyone comes home. Our grandchildren run around shouting and playing, and the adults gather around the table to talk about the past year. Great fun is also enjoyed in the kitchen as jiaozi are being made. We always have jiaozi during this time, as they mean something special on this occasion — they are a sign of our wishes for health and happiness in the coming year. To me, this is Spring Festival — the joy of a family gathering. Throughout history, some of the original customs have changed, but the spirit of the festival — the spirit of family — has largely been kept. Most of the important Spring Festival traditions are still being practised by people across the country.
