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. 世界各地都庆祝各种节日。节日的由来五花八门，比如时节、宗教、著名人物及重要事件。每个节日都有其不同的习俗和独特的魅力。然而，无论它们多么迥异，在世界各地，分享快乐、感恩、友爱或和平的精神存在于所有节日之中。 【重点必背】 all around the world—— 世界各地 range n. 一系列；范围、界限 vi. 包括；(在一定范围内)变化 origin n. 起源；起因；出身→ original adj. 最初的；原创的 → originally adv. 本来；原来 such as比如 figure n. 人物；数字；身材 vt. 认为；认定 no matter how无论多么…… joy n. 高兴；喜悦→ joyful adj. 高兴的；快乐的 【课文佳句】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.（no matter how引导让步状语从句）然而，不论它们看起来多么不同，世界各地分享快乐、感恩、爱或者和平的精神在所有的节日中是一样的。 Paragraph 2 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. 在所有的传统节日中，丰收节几乎可见于每一种文化之中。这一重大的农业节日在所有农作物收成后来临。人们举行庆祝活动，对这一年收获的食物表达感恩。在古埃及，人们于春季庆祝丰收节——即埃及的丰收季。庆祝活动主要是游行和丰盛的筵席，载歌载舞，并伴有体育活动。如今，在一些欧洲国家，人们用鲜花和水果来装饰教堂和市政厅，聚在一起共享大餐，以示庆祝。在中国的中秋节，家家户户欢聚一堂，观赏明月，品尝美味的月饼。 【重点必背】 harvest n. 收获季节；收获；收成 vi.&vt. 收割(庄稼)；捕猎(动物、鱼) crop n. 庄稼；作物；一季的收成 gather vi. 聚集；集合 vt. 聚集；搜集；收割 be grateful for对……感激 feature vt. 以……为特色 n. 特色；特征；特点 decorate vt. 装饰；装潢→ decoration n. 装饰；装潢 church n.（基督教的）教堂；礼拜堂 get together—— 聚集 Paragraph 3 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. One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins. 风俗在节日中扮演重要角色，但有时也随时间而变化。随着现代社会的发展和新思想的传播，有些传统会渐渐消失，而另一些传统则得以建立。中国春节燃放鞭炮以驱鬼神、贺新年这一典型风俗就是一个例子。如今，为了避免空气污染，许多大城市已经摒弃了这一风俗。另一个例子是万圣节，虽然起源于宗教，万圣节渐渐成了孩子们纵情玩乐的一个节日。 【重点必背】 play a significant role in在……中扮演重要角色→ significant adj. 有重大意义的；显著的 → significance n. 重要性，意义 over time随着时间的推移 with the development of随着……的发展 fade away逐渐消失；(身体)变得虚弱 typical adj. 典型的；有代表性的；平常的 give up放弃；投降 in spite of不管；尽管 Paragraph 4 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. 节日正变得越来越商业化，商家会利用这些庆祝活动（进行促销）。购物网站和社交媒体应用程序极大地方便了人们为至亲至爱花更多钱购买礼物。尽管有人认为节日不应该被商业化，但是也有人认为消费增长有利于（提高）经济和公众幸福感。 【重点必背】 commercial adj. 商业(化)的；以获利为目的的 with businesses taking advantage of（with复合结构）商家利用→ take advantage of利用；欺骗；占……的便宜 media n. 媒介；手段；方法 make it much easier for the public to spend（句式：make it＋adj.＋for sb. to do）—— 使公众更容易花费 【课文佳句】Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones.（make it＋adj.＋for sb. to do） 网上的购物网站和社交媒体的应用程序使人们更加容易地花更多的钱为他们所喜爱的人购买礼物。 Paragraph 5 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. 节日是社会的一个重要组成部分。节日反映了人类的愿望、信仰、信念以及对生活的态度。节日是让我们放松心情、享受生活、暂时忘却工作的时刻。节日让我们了解我们来自何方、我们是谁、我们应该感恩什么。此外，如果你仔细研究各种节日，你会惊奇地发现不同的文化实际上有很多共同之处。 【重点必背】 reflect vt. 显示；反映；反射→ reflection n. 倒影；反映；思考 belief n. 信仰；信心；信任→ believe vt. 相信 → believable adj. 可以相信的 faith n. 宗教信仰；信任；相信→ faithful adj. 忠诚的；虔诚的 occasion n. 特别的事情(或仪式、庆典)；(适当的)机会→ occasional adj. 偶然的，偶尔的 have a lot in common有很多共同之处 after all毕竟；别忘了 【课文佳句】They are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our work for a little while.（that引导定语从句） 节日是让我们放松、享受生活、暂且忘记工作的时刻。 【单元重点词汇】 1.congratulation n.祝贺；恭喜→congratulate vt.向(某人)道贺；(因某事)为自己感到自豪 2.origin n.起源；起因；出身→original adj.最初的；原创的；新颖的→originally adv.本来；原来 3.religion n.宗教；宗教信仰→religious adj.宗教的；笃信宗教的 4.charm n.魅力；迷人的特征；咒语 v.吸引，迷住；向……施魔法→charmed adj.着迷的→charming adj.有魅力的；迷人的 5.joy n.高兴；喜悦→joyful adj.高兴的；快乐的→joyfully adv.开心地 6.gratitude n.感激之情；感谢→grateful adj.感激的；表示感谢的 7.agricultural adj.农业(劳动/生产)→agriculture n.农业；农艺 8.decorate vt.装饰；装潢→decoration n.装饰；装潢 9.significant adj.有重大意义的；显著的→significance n.重要性，意义；意思，含义 10.reflect vt.显示；反映；反射→reflection n.倒影；反映；思考 11.belief n.信仰；信心；信任→believe vt.相信→believable adj.可以相信的→unbelievable adj.难以置信的 12.faith n.宗教信仰；信任；相信→faithful adj.忠诚的；虔诚的→faithfully adv.虔诚地 13.occasion n.特别的事情(或仪式、庆典)；(适当的)机会→occasional adj.偶然的，偶尔的→occasionally adv.偶尔；间或 14.merry adj.愉快的；高兴的→merrily adv.高兴地；愉快地 15.pleased adj.高兴的；满意的→pleasant adj.令人愉快的→please vt.使满意；使愉快→pleasure n.愉快；令人高兴的事 16.frank adj.坦率的；直率的→frankly adv.坦率地；直率地 17.represent vt.象征；代表；相当于→representative n.代表 adj.有代表性的 18.respect n.& vt.尊敬；尊重→respectful adj.恭敬的；表示敬意的→respectable adj.可敬的；体面的；相当好的 19.horrible adj.令人震惊的；恐怖的；极坏的→horror n.畏惧；憎恶；震惊 【单元重点句式】 1.句式： no matter how引导让步状语从句 原句：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. 然而，不论它们看起来多么不同，世界各地分享快乐、感恩、爱或者和平的精神在所有的节日中是一样的。 2.句式：with复合结构 原句：Festivals are becoming more and more commercial，with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations. 因为商家利用庆祝活动，所以节日正变得越来越商业化。 3.句式：make it＋adj./n.＋for sb.to do sth. 原句：Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones. 网上的购物网站和社交媒体的应用程序使人们更加容易地花更多的钱为他们所喜爱的人购买礼物。 4.句式：v.­ing形式作伴随状语 原句：I'm finally back home now，feeling really tired， but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it. 现在我终于回到家了，感到十分疲倦，但是和我的朋友一起欢度“那达慕”大会是完全值得的。 5.句式：that引导定语从句 原句：They are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life， and forget about our work for a little while.节日是让我们放松、享受生活、暂且忘记工作的时刻。 6.修辞之比喻 原句：After singing some songs，the competitors danced onto the green field，waving their arms in the air as if they were eagles. 唱完几首歌以后，参赛选手在绿地上跳舞，像雄鹰一样在空中挥舞着手臂。 【小练1】课文语法填空 （根据课文内容，用所给词的正确形式填空） 1.
