过年的来历
Spring Festival is the most important holiday for Chinese people. Excitement and happiness are palpable this time of the year，and they reach the peak on lunar new year‘s eve.
春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。
Though the 15-day period，which starts with the first day of the lunar new year and ends on the 15th day (known as Lantern Festival)，is relatively long，it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions，buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.
春节历时15天，也就从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节结束。这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候。他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多
人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。
But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.
但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。
Spring Festival，as it is celebrated today，has undergone many changes，thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.
现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。
Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times，something that does not apply to society today. More often than not，people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty，and that was possible in spring，or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.
但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要
的主要原因。
But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China，except for those who are still poor，can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.
但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。
In recent times，many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now，which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.
最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。
年的传说
Chinese people held the first New Year Festival more than 3,000 years ago. Farmers gave thanks for the harvest and prayed. They asked the gods for good crops in the coming
year.
中国人庆祝中国传统新年已经有3000多年的历史了，农民感谢上苍赐予好的收成，同时祷告来年有好的收成。但是关于庆祝新年的背后，有一个故事，下面就是关于庆祝新年的传说。
But there is a story behind all the celebration, below is the legend of how the Chinese New Year celebration began.
据传，有一个食人野兽叫“年”，有一张能一口吃掉好几个人的血盆大口。这个怪物在山上找不到吃的的时候，就会下山到附近村庄，攻击和吃掉所有能吃的动物，包括人。村民们整个冬天都在恐惧中度过。
According to legend, there was a man-eating wild monster "Nian" with an extremely large mouth, capable of swallowing several people in a single bite. This beast appeared in a country village, towards the end of winter when there was nothing to eat it would visit the villages and attack and eat whatever it could. The villagers would live in terror over the winter.
据传说，有一个人吃的野生怪物“年”一个非常大的口，吞咽几个人在一个单一的叮咬。此兽出现在乡村，对冬季结束时，有没有吃的，它会到村里去，什么能吃就吃什么，所以整个冬天村民都生活在恐惧之中。
The next year it returned and the same thing happened.
The monster seemed too strong to be defeated. So all the villagers would take their old and young deep into the mountains to hide from Nian.
来年冬天，怪兽如期而至，同样的悲剧再次发生，怪兽之强壮非常人能够击倒，所以所有村民都携带全家老小到深山躲藏，以避免成为“年”的食物
One day, a wise old man passed through the village and told an old woman, "I will teach you how to scare Nian away!"
有一天，一个充满智慧的老人经过村庄，告诉一个老妇人：“我叫你怎么把年吓跑”。
That evening when Nian arrived at the village, he saw that all the houses were dark except the house in which an old woman lived. Nian approached the house, licking his lips in anticipation. Suddenly, the deafening noise of firecrackers sounded endlessly.
当天晚上，当年踏进村子时，它见村里所有的屋子没有灯光，除了那个老夫人家亮着灯。年靠房子，舔着嘴唇，期待着自己的晚餐。突然，震耳欲聋的鞭炮声在耳边响个不停。
The monster was startled and jumped. Suddenly he realized that the house was covered in red paper. This scared him even more and it ran off into the mountains. When the villagers returned they saw that the old woman was unharmed!
People later learned that "nian" was afraid of loud noises and the color red, The villagers came together and agreed that when it was time for Nian's annual visit towards the end of winter they would start a fire in front of every door and not go to sleep but rather make noise.
“年”被鞭炮声吓得跳起来，突然发现那个房子外面贴着红纸，这个把怪兽吓得落荒而逃，村民回到村庄发现老妇人毫发无伤。后来，村民知道了这个叫“年”的怪兽害怕噪声和红色，于是村里的村名都赞同，在“年”下一次“光顾”村庄的时候，家家户户都在门前点起火，守岁然后制造“动静”。
The following year, the villagers were ready for it. They set off firecrackers, lit all their lamps and decorated their houses in red, they paste red paper on the doors, wear red clothing, hang up red lanterns. They made loud music, play the gong and drums and they dance and burn the fireworks whenever Nian was about to arrive, to scared away the beast.
第二年，村名们都做足了准备，他们准备好了鞭炮，点燃了所有的灯，把房子装饰橙红色，在门上贴红纸，穿红色的衣服，手里拎着红灯笼。她们敲锣打鼓大声弹唱，跳舞，走到哪里鞭炮就点到哪里。
Nian had not come down the mountain to cause any trouble thereafter.
年从此以后再没敢到这个村里惹麻烦了
This eventually become a tradition of China and leads to the celebration for another year of safe life. Chinese people celebrate in remembrance of this legend and still continues till today!
这就成了中国的一个传统，庆祝一年的平安，中国人以此传说庆祝新年，直到今天。

Story 1 Three Good Friends One day, a monkey rides his bike near the river. This time he sees a lion under a tree. The lion runs at him. He is afraid and falls into the river. He can’t swim. He shouts. The rabbit hears him. He jumps into the river. The rabbit swims to the monkey, but he can’t help him. Luckily, an elephant comes along. He is very strong. He helps the rabbit and monkey. Three friends are very happy. They go to the elephant’s home. Then, three of them become good friends. 故事一三个好朋友 一天，一只猴子在河边骑车。这时他看见树下有一只狮子，狮子向他跑来。他非常的害怕，掉进河里。他不会游泳，大叫起来。兔子听见了，跳进水里，但他却没有办法救猴子。幸运的是，一只大象过来了。大象非常强壮，救出了兔子和猴子。他们来到大象的家，在那里吃了一顿大餐。从此他们成了好朋友。 Story 2 The Old Man and the Old Cat An old man has a cat. The cat is very old, too. He runs very quickly. And his teeth are bad. One evening, the old cat sees a little mouse. He catches it, but he can’t eat it because his teeth are not strong enough. The mouse runs away. The old man is very angry. He beats his cat. He says: “You are a fool cat. I will punish you!”the cat is very sad. He thinks：“When I was young, I worked hard for you. Now you don’t like me because I’m too old to work. You should know you are old, too.” 故事二老人和老猫
A “You can use me as a last resort（选择）, and if nobody else volunteers，then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse（长曲棍球）club. I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.” I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal. Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community（社区）as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services

Some will play games or hang out to have some fun. On the New Years Day, people get up early and say good words to anyone they meet. Children can get lucky money from relatives.

6 It’s important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us: 1. Reduce If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely (明智地). A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste. 2.Reuse You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters. 3.Recycle Bottles, cans (罐子) and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat (压平) and melted (融化) and the metal things are made for new coke cans. 4.Recover When you buy a box of apples, there may be few rotten (腐烂的) apples, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food. 5.Repair If one of the begs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a “throw-away”society, but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best. 1.The “Reduce”rule mainly requires (要求) us _______. A. to use things wisely B. to cut down many trees C. to use a lot of paper D. to throw away your old clothes 2.What’s the right order (顺序) of recycling coke cans? a. collect the used cans b. melt them c. smash them flat d. send them to a factory A. a b c d B. a d c b C. d b c a D. c a b d 3.The “Recover”rule mainly requires us _______. A. to throw waste things away B. to cover waste things with earth C. to get back the useful parts D. to throw the whole things away 5.Which is the best way to do with your broken tables? A. Throwing them away. B. Requiring them. C. Selling them. D. Putting them away. 7 To: President Bush, the White House From: Saddam Hussein, in Baghdad Dear President Bush, Well, you sure ruined (毁掉) my birthday…. OK, you won, and your prize is Iraq. Are you

关于春节的英语作文10篇 关于春节的英语作文： Spring Festival is the most importantand popular festival in China。Before Spring Festival ，the people usually clean and decorate their houses。And they go to the Flower Fairs to buy some flowers。During Spring Festival ，the adults usually give lucky money to children。People often get together and have a big meal。Some people eat dumpling for dinner。 I love Spring Festival 。 关于春节的英语作文： My plan of next year A new year ，a new start，when I stand on the edge of a new year，I can't help thinking about my plan of next year。 Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half of the success。”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then ，at the beginning ，I'm quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others。 But ，what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible。 While，I will do my best to live up with what I have planned，and the result will prove it。 关于春节的英语作文： Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival？ Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China。Christmas cards bee popular with students。 People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts。 A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on。 Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing to youngsters。 Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival。 This worry is fairly unnecessary。 Why ？ One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians，college students and joint-venture workers。 Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities。Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic festival。 the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional ，By contrast festival in every family。 I think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West， a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China。 For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals。 For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to wele the beginning of a new year。 And we will treasure the Spring
高中英语阅读理解30篇 1、To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class：he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play：they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along. I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written. 1. What is the text about ? A. How to become a good teacher. B. What a good teacher should do outside the classroom. C. What teachers and actors could learn from each other. D. The similarities(相似处) and differences between a teacher’s work and an actor’s. 2. The word “audience” in the fourth paragraph means ____ . A. students B. people who watch a play C. people who not on the stage D. people who listen to something 3. A good teacher ____ . A. knows how to hold the interest of his students B. must have a good voice C. knows how to act on the stage D. stands or sits still while teaching 4. In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s ? A. The teacher must learn everything by heart . B. He knows how to control his voice better than an actor . C. He has to deal with unexpected situations . D. He has to use more facial expressions . 5. The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that ____. A. students can move around in the classroom

The Old Cat An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it. Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young." The City Mouse and the Country Mouse Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city." The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very
Some students think it difficult to learn English well. That’ s because they don’ t find the right way. I think reading is very important for students. The more you read, the better you'll understand（理解）. Reading is helpful to listening, speaking and writing. If you often read English aloud, you’ll improve（提高）your listening. On the other hand, listening a lot can help you to read better. Read English everywhere when you are free, if you wish. You can get a lot of knowledge（知识）when you read. Sometimes you need to express （表达）your ideas, you can either speak or write. That means you are using what you have learned from reading. The same as Chinese, the more you read., the better you can write. If you want to remember something, you should read again and again. So from now on, you'd better do more reading.
