Unit 1 Festivals around the worldPart I Festival s and celebration sFestival s and celebration s of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of the cold weather, plant ing in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunter s had caught animals. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months. Today’s festivals have many origin s, some religious, some season al, and some for special people or event s. Festivals of the DeadSome festivals are held to honour the dead, or to satisfy the ancestor s, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean the grave s and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They also light lamp s and play music because they think that this will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico people celebrate the Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast day, people eat food in the shape of skulls and cakes with “bone s” on them. They offer food, flowers and gift s to the dead. The western holiday Halloween also had its origin in old belief s about the return of the spirit s of dead people. It is now a children’s festival, when they can dress up and go to their neighbours’ homes to ask for sweets. If the neighbours don’t give any sweets, the children might play a trick on them.Festivals to Honour PeopleFestivals can also be held to honour famous people. The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. In the USA, Columbus Day is in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. India has a national festival on October 2 to honour Mahatma Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s independence from Britain.Harvest FestivalsHarvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gather ed for the winter and the agricultural work is over. In European countries, people will usually decorate church es and town hall s with flowers and fruit, and will get together to have meals. Some people might win award s for their farm produce, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. China and Japan have mid-autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and in China, enjoy mooncakes.Spring FestivalsThe most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winterand to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat, and may give children lucky money in red paper. There are dragon dances and carnival s, and families celebrate the lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. They might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival for Christians around the world. It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life. Japan’s Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country, covered with cherry tree flowers, looks as though it is covered with pink snow.People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each other. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our custom s and forget our work for a little while.Part II a sad love storyLi Fang was heart-broken. It was Valentine’s Day and Hu Jin had said she would meet him at the coffee shop after work. But she didn’t turn up. She could be with her friends right now laughing at him. She said she would be there at seven o’clock, and he thought she would keep her word. He had looked forward to meeting her all day, and now he was alone with his roses and chocolates, like a fool. Well, he was not going to hold his breath for her to apologize. He would drown his sad ness in coffee.It was obvious that the manager of the coffee shop was waiting for Li Fang to leave —he wipe d the tables, then sat down and turned on the TV —just what Li Fang needed! A sad Chinese story about lost love.The granddaughter of the Goddess of Heaven visited the earth. Her name was Zhinu, the weaving girl. While she was on earth she met the herd boy Niulang and they fell in love. (“Just like me and Hu Jin,” thought Li Fang.) They got married secretly, and they were very happy. (“We could be like that, ” thought Li Fang.) When the Goddess of Heaven knew that her granddaughter was married to a human, she became very angry and made the weaving girl return to Heaven. Niulang tried to follow her, but the river of stars, the Milky Way, stop ped him. Finding that Zhinu was heart-broken, her grandmother finally decided to let the couple cross the Milky Way to meet once a year. Magpies make a bridge of their wing s so the couple can cross the river to meet on the seventh lunar month. People in China hope that the weather will be fine on that day, because if it is raining, it mean s that Zhinu is weep ing and the couple won’t be able to meet.The announcer said, “This is the story of Qiqiao Festival. When foreigner s hear about the story, they call it a Chinese Valentine’s story. It’s a fine day today, so I hope you can all meet the one you love.’’As Li Fang set off for home, he thought, “I guess Hu Jin doesn’t love me. I’ll just throw these flowers and chocolates away. I don’t want them to remind me of her.’’ So he did.As he sadly pass ed the tea shop on the corner on his way home, he heard a voice calling him. There was Hu Jin waving at him and calling, “Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time! And I have a gift for you!”What would he do? He had thrown away her Valentine gifts! She would never forgive him. This would not be a happy Valentine’s Day!。

Unit 1 Festivals around the world李仕才一、阅读理解Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.“No man is an island.〞 In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Regardless of the level of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity (互惠), honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.1.Who are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders without friends?A.Teenagers.B.Adults.C.The elderly.D.A couple.2.What does the sentence “No man is an island〞 really mean?A.No man is willing to live on an island.B.Man usually doesn’t go to an islandC.Everyone is related with our society.D.Our society is just like an island.3.What can we learn about outgoing people?A.They like being alone.B.They are fond of making friends.C.They have intense friendships.D.They have fewer close friends indeed4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.The formation of close friends.B.The number of real friends.C.Honesty, love and affection.D.Factors to determine the degree of closeness.【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。
