A (选自外研版必修第二册 Unit 2) THE REAL FATHER CHRISTMAS Many people still remember the magic of Father Christmas from when they were children.As parents，they try to keep that magic alive for their children for as long as they can. That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who regard 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. 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 as they opened it. Inside，they would find a handwritten letter from Father Christmas.The letters were also beautifully illustrated—each must have taken its true author，Tolkien，a long time to complete. The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas’s life and adventures at the North Pole.A regular character in the letters was Polar Bear，who once climbed the North Pole (an actual pole in this case) and fell through the roof of Father Christmas’s house.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 that they might not receive their presents if they were not good.The letters did，however，change as Tolkien’s children got older： ...but if you find that not many of the things you asked for have come，and not perhaps quite as many as sometimes，remember that this Christmas all over the world there are a terrible number of poor and starving people. 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，Tolkien may indeed have been the real Father Christmas. 词汇积累 1．magic n．魔力 2．literature n．文学；文学作品 3．handwritten adj.手写的 4．illustrate vt.给(书籍、文章等)加插图 5．polar adj.地极的，极地的 6．roof n．(建筑物、汽车、帐篷等的)顶，顶部 7．complain v．抱怨，不满，发牢骚 8．warning n．警告，警示；告诫 9．starving adj.挨饿的，即将饿死的 1．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

They have a wide range of origins，such as the seasons of the year，religions，famous figures，and important events.Every festival has its different customs and unique charms.However，no matter how different they may seem，all over the world，the spirit of sharing joy，gratitude，love，or peace is common in all festivals. Of all the traditional festivals，the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture.This important agricultural festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered in.People celebrate to show that they are grateful for the year’s supply of food.In ancient Egypt，the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime—the Egyptian harvest season.It featured a parade and a great feast with music，dancing，and sports.Today，in some European countries，people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit，and get together to celebrate over a meal.During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China，families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes. Customs play a significant role in festivals，but sometimes they can change over time.With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas，some traditions may fade away and others may be established. Festivals are becoming more and more commercial，with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations.Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones.Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised，others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness. Festivals are an important part of society.They reflect people’s wishes，beliefs，faiths，and attitudes towards life.They are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life，and forget about our work for a little while.They help us understand where we came from，who we are，and what to appreciate.And if you study festivals carefully，you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all. 词汇积累 1．religion n．宗教；宗教信仰 2．figure n．人物；数字；身材vt.认为；认定 3．charm n．魅力；迷人的特征；咒语 4．gratitude n．感激之情；感谢 5．harvest n．收获季节；收获；收成 vi.& vt.收割(庄稼)；捕猎(动物、鱼) 6．agricultural adj.农业(劳动/生产) 7．grateful adj.感激的；表示感谢的 8．significant adj.有重大意义的；显著的 9．fade vi.& vt.逐渐消失；(使)褪色；(身体)变得虚弱 10．reflect vt.显示；反映；反射 11．belief n．信仰；信心；信任 12．faith n．宗教信仰；信任；相信 1．Which festival can be found in almost every culture?
