Period One　Starting out & Understanding ideas Unit 2 Let’s celebrate! 　　China is a country with many colourful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands for the start of spring and farming. The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (后代) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons. On the day in ancient times, people put ashes(灰) in the kitchen. This was to “lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest in autumn. Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker(须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”. 　　Today, many customs have faded away(逐渐消失). But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother’s brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day and until today people still observe the custom. 【主题词句背诵】 1.dragon n. 龙 2.calendar n. 日历 3.stand for 代表 4.celebrate v.庆祝 5.custom n.风俗;习俗 6.lead…into… 将……领进…… 7.with the help of 在……的帮助下 8.have a good harvest 有个好收成 9.name…after… 以……为……命名 10.remain v. 仍然存在 11.People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest in autumn. 人们相信在龙的帮助下,他们可以在秋天获得丰收。 12.It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother’s brothers. 据说在正月理发可能会给舅舅带来厄运。 单元知识概览 核心单词 honour, decoration, freedom, participate, vote, regardless, inequality, fantasy, novel, limitless, regard, address, literature, regular, complain, warning, starving, indicate, request, wave, attract, decorate, competition, formal, host, occasion, editor, embrace, admit, effort, loss, process, retired, exist, global, audience, interact, joy, phenomenon 核心短语 regard…as…,put up 重点句型 1.That is why… 后接某事产生的结果 　2.“do/does/did+动词原形”表强调　3.no+比较级+than 单元语法 情态动词(2) 单元写作 1.写信表达观点(Writing a letter to express ideas) 　2.单元话题续写——节日 Period One　Starting out & Understanding ideas Task One　Fast Reading Task Two　Careful Reading Read the text and then choose the best answer according to the text.
