Write matching items which are based on the following passage.Write information transformation items which are based on the following passage.My First Day at SchoolI was shy and half stiff when in the presence of a crowd, and my first day at the new school made me the laughingstock of the classroom. I was sent to the blackboard to write my name and address; I knew my name and address, knew how to write it, knew how to spell it; but standing at the blackboard with the eyes of the many boys and girls looking at my back made me freeze inside and I was unable to write a single letter.“Write your name,” the teacher called to me.I lifted the white chalk to the blackboard and, as I was about to write, my mind went blank,empty; I could not remember my name, not even the first letter. Somebody giggled and I stiffened.“Just forget us and write your name and address,” the teacher coaxed.An impulse to write flash through me, but my hand refused to move. The children began to titter and I grew red in the face.“Don’t you know your name?” the teacher asked.I looked at her and could not answer. The teacher rose and walked to my side, smiling at me to give me confidence. She placed her hand tenderly upon my shoulder.“What’s your name,” sh e asked.“Richard,” I whispered.“Richard what?”“Richard Wright.”“Spell it.”I spelled my name in a wild rush of letters, trying desperately to redeem my shyness.“Spell it slowly so I can hear it,” she directed me. I did.“Now can you write?”“Yes, ma’am.”“Then write it.”Again I turned to the blackboard and lifted my hand to write, then I was blank and void within. I tried very hard to collect my senses but I could remember nothing. A sense of the boys and girls behind me made me forget everything. I realized how completely I was failing and I grew weak and leaned my hot forehead against the cold blackboard. The room burst into a loud and prolonged laugh and my whole body froze.“You may go back to your seat,” the teacher said.I sat and cursed myself. Why did I always appear so dumb when I was called to perform something in a crowd? I knew how to write as well as any pupil in the classroom, and no doubt I could read better than any of them, and I could talk fluently and expressively when I was sure of myself. Then why did strange faces make me freeze? I sat with my ears and neck burning, hearing the pupils whisper about me, hating myself, hating them.3.1 matching(1)When I went to the blackboard and prepare to write(2)When the teacher walked to my side and gave me confidence(3)When I turned to the blackboard and lifted my hand to write again(4)When I went back to my seat(a)I spelled my name in a wild rush of letters (b)The room burst into a loud and prolonged laugh(c)I sat and cursed myself,confused about my strange behavior(d)my mind went blank, empty so I could not remember my name3.2 information transformationTimePlacePersonEventResultReason4. Write the following comprehension questions, synthesis, inference, and the ones for structure. You are required to write two question for each kind.Christian FestivalsChristmas and Easter are two important Christian festivals that are widely celebrated in the Western countries. Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ and Easter is about the resurrection of Jesus after he was killed on the cross by the Romans.Other festivals related to Christianity include Saint Patrick’s Day celebrated especially by the Irish, Passover celebrated by the Jews, and Good Friday celebrated on the Friday before Easter.Halloween, perhaps our weirdest annual celebration, is even stranger than it seems. Unlike the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving, it is neither patriotic nor historical, yet it is celebrated nationally. Unlike Christmas, Easter or Passover, Halloween is not associated with a particular religion. Yet it weaves spirituality, death and religious beliefs into our present and historical imaginations.Even its origin is complex and uncertain. Many Americans have heard rumblings that Halloween is a “pagan” or pre-European-Christian holiday with roots in Celtic traditions. A common and slightly elaborated version of this notion holds that Halloween is a descendent of the Celtic Samhain festival, which, on November 1, marked both the Celtic New Year and the day during which dead souls were believed to revisit Earth.But the name “Halloween” has distinctly Christian origins. In efforts to stop seemingly non-Christian celebrations, the Roman Catholic Church incorporated Samhain festivities into the Christian calendar.In 731 A.D., November 1 was declared All Saints’ Day (All Hallows Day). October 31 thus became All Hallows Eve, in time shortened to “Halloween.” Even with the enc ouragement of activities such as masquerading pageants of saints and the further, complicating step of adding Nov. 2 as All Souls Day to the church calendar after the year 1000, some “non-Christian” elements survive in Halloween.Some elements, however, have a distinctively Native American heritage. One key symbol —the pumpkin — was unknown to Europeans before Columbus. But it was part of the sacred trinity of native American foods: squash, beans and maize, which appears in the form of candy corn andthe corn shocks that decorate front porches. The original European version of the jack-o’-lantern was a turnip.Trick-or-treating is linked to Irish Samhain traditions and thus became popular about the time that the Irish began immigrating to the United States in large numbers. Presumably during Samhain, people opened their doors and provided food to the wandering dead, so people eventually started dressing like wandering dead souls and demanding food.Others suspect that the custom was introduced to replace, or at least mitigate, the pranks or even destruction that typically accompanied the holiday even in the most conservative rural communities.However, trick-or-treating may be a relatively recent phenomenon coinciding with population shifts from rural to urban and suburban environments. It is, after all, difficult to go door to door when the doors are miles apart.Trick-or-treating may have developed during the 1930s as a means to control young people’s Halloween night pranks.Finally, some people se e in Halloween a connection to England’s Guy Fawkes Day, the Nov. 5 commemoration of a foiled attempt to blow up the king and Parliament in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Halloween also may be related to early American harvest festivals, with apple bobbing, hayrides, and many local variations of games to divine the identity of a future mate. Those games probably derive from traditional beliefs in Britain and Ireland that spirits loosed on Halloween made the day particularly good for augury.4.1 syntheses 综合题①: Which festival has not particular religion meaning?②: According to the passage,which description about Halloween is false?4.2 inferences推理题①: What does “it”refer to in the para.3?②: What does the author imply of the last sentence”Those games probably derive from traditional beliefs in Britain and Ireland that spirits loosed on Halloween made the day particularly good for augury.”?4.3 The questions for structure 结构题①: What’s the function of the sentence”But the name “Halloween” has distinctly Christian origins.”②: How does the author prove that Halloween has a distinctively Native American heritage?5.

For example, she doesn’t need help getting in and out of cars. “Women get in and out of cars twenty times a day with babies and dogs. Surely they can get out by themselves at night just as easily.”She also says there is no reason why a man walked on the inside so he caught the garbage thrown out of the window. Today a man is supposed to walk on the outside. A man should walk where he wanted to. So should a woman. If, out of love and respect, he actually wants to take the blows, he should walk on the inside —because that’s where attackers are all hiding these days.As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of women’s liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies.It is usually easier to follow rules of social behavior than to depend on one’s own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and a woman are led to their table in a restaurant, the waiter pulls out a chair;I have always done it the other way according to my wife.It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in. “Well,” said my wife when the hostess had gone. “You did it again.”“Did what?” I asked, utterly confused.“Took the chair.”Actually, since I’d walked through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have beenawkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first after all.“Well,” said my wife when the hostess had gone. “You did it again.”“Did what?” I asked, utterly confused.“Took the chair.”Actually, since I’d walked through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first after all.7. 1 Write true or false items for the following listening materials.(The true or false items should focus on one specific purpose.)Women’ behavior today True False Woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a modelThey can’t get out by themselves at nightToday woman is supposed to walk on the outside.In a restaurant, when the waiter pulls out a chair,only women can sit.7.2 Write an outline about its structure and key information which are the same as the mini-lecture items in TEM 8.SECTION A MINI -LECTUREWomen’s liberationI. women’s liberation is a good things for menA.
