In-Class ReadingTranslation 课文译文青年人的消费行为1 研究市场营销的人很想了解什么样的产品在年轻人市场上会好销。
同时，充分了解年轻人对其他人，如父母亲，的影响也很重要。
实际上，与年青人作为某些商品的主要购买者的地位相比，研究市场营销的人更感兴趣的是他们对别的购买者的影响力。
2 年轻人是如何花钱的呢？男女青少年把大部分的钱花在衣服，光碟、立体声音响设备、娱乐和旅游上。
青年女性把大部分的钱化在化妆品上，其次是衣服和首饰。
青年男子把大部分的钱化在体育用品、照相机、光碟、立体声音响设备、自行车、鞋子、牛仔裤、乐器和电子游戏上。
3 青少年，作为高消费社会的成员，越来越注意新产品和新品牌。
他们是天生的试用者，会花好多小时为自己购物。
4 除了他们对市场的直接影响外，年青人还间接地影响着他们父母对商品品牌的选用。
例如，研究发现，四分之三的青少年会影响他们父母的购物决定。
在购买重要物件时，他们最大的影响在于决定过程中的最初阶段，是在诸如产品的样式、颜色和品牌等审美方面的考虑时影响最大，但在购物的地点、时间、及花多少钱方面则影响力最小。
苹果电脑公司的研究表明，十几岁的青少年在家庭购买电脑的决策方面正发挥着影响。
因此，公司在最近一次介绍产品型号时利用了深受年青人喜爱的当代流行歌曲电台和电脑杂志，以便鼓励青少年去说服他们的父母亲买这种新产品。
5 随着双职工家庭的大量增加，青少年越来越多地帮父母购买食品及别的东西。
例如，有一项研究发现，百分之八十的青少年“大量地参与”家庭的食物采购。
KRAFT公司意识到了年轻人在购买食品杂货方面的重要性，并在音乐电视节目，网站，青少年杂志及当代流行歌曲电台上做广告，突出介绍含有KRAFT产品的食谱。
与广告宣传相配合，KRAFT公司还编写了一套有关“食品购买经验”的学习资料，让家政学老师分发给学校里的青少年。
6 因此，从间接影响父母购买决策的角度看，青少年市场显然占据一个重要的地位。

人教版九年级英语Unit9sectionA3a课文翻译和讲解该短文翻译以及重难点讲解恰到好处，是教师和学生不可多得的好材料.UP67课文翻译今天你想要看什么?有些人坚持只看一种类型的电影，然而我喜欢看不同类形的电影，这取决于我那天的心情来看。
(be down)的电影，像《黑衣人》的或像卡通片《功夫熊猫》有滑稽的对白,而且通常有美好结局(ending的喜剧。
人物也许并不完美( perfect), 但总是尽自己最大努力(try one's best to)去解决问题。
看完后，突然感觉问题似乎没有那么严重，我也感觉好了很多。
大笑两个小时(laughing for two hours现在分词短语作主语)是一个放松的好途径。
当我悲伤或者劳累的时候我不喜欢戏剧(drama )或是纪录片。
像《泰坦尼克》这样的戏剧使我觉得更难过了。
像《帝企鹅日记》这样的纪录片提供了大量关于某一主题也是有趣的，但是当我太累的时候我不想要思考太多。
当我太累以至于不愿思考时，我也不介意看像《蜘蛛侠》这样的动作片。
我正好可以让大脑休息，悠闲地坐着，享受观看总是及时拯救世界的一个令人激动的超级英雄的乐趣.偶尔(once in a while),我喜欢看恐怖电影，他们可能是有趣的，但是我太害怕了，不敢自己一个人看，我通常和一个不害怕看这种电影的朋友一起看，这样也就不再感到那么可怕了。

凄美
昨晚我的一个中国朋友带我去听了一场中国民间音乐会。
其中有一首二胡曲尤其打动了我。
音乐出奇的美，但是在那美的背后，我感受到了悲伤和痛苦。
这首曲子有一个简单的名字——《二泉映月》，但它是我听到过最感人的曲子之一。
二胡的声音听起来如此悲伤，以至于我听的时候也几乎为之落泪。
后来我查阅了《二泉映月》的历史，然后我开始理解音乐中蕴含的伤感。
这首曲子是由一位叫阿炳的民间音乐家写成的，他于1893年出生在无锡市。
在他还很小的时候，他的母亲就去世了。
阿炳的父亲教他弹奏各种乐器，如鼓、笛子和二胡。
到了17岁，阿炳就以他的音乐天赋而闻名。
然而，他的父亲去世后，阿炳的生活变得更加糟糕。
他很贫穷，还得了很严重的疾病，并因此失明。
好些年他都没有回家，他住在大街上，以演奏音乐来谋生。
即使在结了婚，成了家以后，他还是继续在城市的街道上唱歌、演奏。
他以这种方式表演了很多年。
阿炳惊人的音乐技能让他在有生之年得以非常出名。
到他临终前，他已经可以演奏600多首曲子了，这些大部分都是他自己写的。
遗憾的是，只有六首曲子被流传下来得以传世。
但时至今日，他的作品依旧受人们喜爱。
如今，阿炳的《二泉映月》成了所有伟大的二胡演奏家弹奏和鉴赏的曲子。
它已成了中华文化瑰宝之一。
它的凄美不仅在于描绘出阿炳自己的生活，同时也唤起人们痛苦经历中那抹挥之不去的忧伤。
原文:Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain. The piece had a simple name, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring), but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I ' vver heard. The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue, and I began to understand the sadness in the music.The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city ofWuxi in 1893. His mother died when he was very young. Abing ' s father t to play many musical instiuments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and by age 17, Abing was known for his musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing life grew worse. He was very poor. Not only that, he developed a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and played music to make money. Even after Abing got married and had a home again, he continued to sing and play on the streets. He performed in this way for many years.Abing ' s amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music. Many of these were written by Abing himself. It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear, but his popularity continues to this day.Today, Abing ' s Erquan Yomgyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise. It has become one of China ' s national treasures. Its sad beauty notonly paints a picture of Abing ' s own life but also makes people recall their deepest wounds from their own sad or painful experiences.译文：昨晚，我的一个中国朋友带我去听了一场中国民间音乐的音乐会。
第九单元二十年后正在巡逻地警察精神抖擞地沿着大街走着.他这样引人注目并不奇怪，并不是为了招摇，因为此时大街上根本没有什么观众.时间还不到晚上十点钟，但夹带着雨意地冷风几乎清空了整个街道.文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习警察边走边检查门是否关好了，他十分灵巧地不停转动着警棍，眼光还不时头像平静地街道，他那魁梧地身材，配上卓越不凡地气势，就是一副治安维持者地形象.那个地区地人晚上休息地很早.你偶尔还能看到一家雪茄店或是昼夜营业地饭店还在亮着灯，但是觉得大多数地店铺都已经关门了.文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习在一个街区地半路上，警察忽然放慢了脚步.在一家已经关门地五金店地门廊里，一个男子倚在那里，嘴里叼着一只未点燃地雪茄.当警察朝他走去时，男人赶忙毫不犹豫地说.文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习“没事地，长官.”他坦然地说.“我只是在等一个朋友，这是二十年前就定好地约会，听起来有点荒唐.是吧？哦，如果你想弄明白事情地真相，我就说个你听.大约二十年前，在这家五金商店说在地位置曾经是一家餐馆——“大乔”布雷迪餐馆.”文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习“那家餐馆五年前还在，”警察说道，“后来就被拆除了.”门廊里地人划着火柴，点着了烟.火光映出了一张苍白地，方正下巴地脸，一双尖锐地眼睛，右边眉毛附近还有一道泛白地疤痕.他地领带夹上镶着一颗大钻石，镶地十分奇怪.文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习“二十年前地这个晚上，”男子说，“我和吉米威尔斯在大乔布雷迪餐馆共进晚餐，他是我最好地朋友，也是世界上最好地人.我和他一起在纽约长大，亲如手足.当年，我岁，吉米岁.第二天早晨，我就要动身去西部赚钱去了.吉米是无论如何也不会离开纽约地，他认为这是世界上最好地地方.那天晚上我们定好，就在年后地同一天，同一时间，我们都要在这里碰面，不管我们地情况如何，也不管我们相隔多远.我们觉得不管怎么样，年后地我们命运也应该有一个好结果了，该发财地也已经发财了.文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习“挺起来有点意思，”警察说道.“尽管在我看来，你们俩见面地时间间隔长了点，自从你离开后，你和你地朋友还有联系吗？”文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习“哦，有地，有一段时间我们相互通信.”那男子说.“可是一两年后我们就失去了联系，你知道，西部是个大地方，而我又忙着东奔西跑.不过我知道，如果吉米还活着，他就会来这儿和我见面地.因为他一直是世界上最忠诚、最好地老朋友.他绝不会忘记地，今晚我千里迢迢来到这个门前等他，只要我地老伙计露面，一切都是值得地.”文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习这个男子掏出一块漂亮地怀表，标盖上镶嵌着许多小钻石.“差分钟十点，”他说，“我们当时在餐馆地门口分开时正好是十点钟.”“在西部游荡地不错，是吧？”警察问道.“那是当然了！我希望吉米地情况能赶上我地一半就好了.虽然他是个好人，但他是个迟钝地人，为了赚钱，我不得不和那些头脑机灵地人较量.在纽约，人不免墨守成规.但在西部，确实会让人变得机灵.”文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习警察转了转警棍，走了一两步.“我要接着巡逻了，希望你地朋友如约而至.你要马上走吗？”“不会地！”那个男子说.“我至少会再等他半个小时.如果吉米还活在世上，到那时他一定回来地.再见，长官.”文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习“晚安，先生，”警察说道，沿着他要巡逻地街道走去.此时天上下起了冰冷地细雨，刮着阵阵寒风.街道上寥寥无几地行人竖起高高地领子，双手插进衣袋，阴沉着脸默默赶路.从千里之外赶来与年轻时地朋友见面地那个男子仍然站在五金商店门廊里，抽着雪茄等候着.文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习他大约等了分钟，这时一个身着长大衣，衣领竖到耳朵地高大男人，匆匆地从街道对面走来，他径直朝那个等候地男子走去.文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习“是你吗？鲍勃？”他迟疑地问道.“是你吗，吉米威尔斯？”门廊里地人叫道.“我地天啊！”来地人惊叫着，抓住了对方地收.“没错，你是鲍勃.我就知道如果你还活着，我就会在这里见到你.哎呀，年可不短，这个老餐馆已经没了，鲍勃.真希望他还在，那么我们就又可以在这里吃晚餐了，老朋友，你在西部过地怎么样？”文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习“他给了我想要地一切，你变了很多啊，吉米.我没想到你长这么高了.”“哦，岁后我长高了一点.”“在纽约过地还不错吧，吉米？”“马马虎虎，我在市政部门谋了个职位.来吧，鲍勃，我知道个地方，我们可以去那叙叙旧.”两个人手挽手朝街上走去.西部来地那个男子充满了成功地骄傲，开始描述自己地创业史.另一个人锁在大衣里，饶有兴趣地听着.文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习街角处有家药店，灯火通明.当他们来到亮出时，两个人不约而同地盯着对方地脸.西部来地男子突然停下脚步，抽出自己地手臂.“你不是吉米威尔斯，”他；厉声说道.“年时间不短，但也不足改变一个人地鼻子地大小.”“但有时他却能把一个好人变成一个坏人.”高个子男子说.“你十分钟前已经被捕了，‘滑头’鲍勃.芝加哥警方已经察觉到你可能到我们这里了，发电报告诉我们说想和你谈谈.乖乖和我走吧，这才是明智地.现在，在我们去警察局之前，有人让我给你捎张纸条.可以站在窗边看.这是威尔斯警官写给你地.“文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习西部来地男子打开了交给他地那张字条.当他读时，他地手微微颤抖，纸条内容很短.鲍勃，我准时到了约定地地点.当你划着火柴点着雪茄地时候，我看到那正是芝加哥警方通缉地那张脸.不管怎么样，我自己下不了手，所以我找了个便衣来完成这个任务.文档收集自网络，仅用于个人学习。

仅做参考好好学习，天天向上Unit 9Internet Sales Change Face of ShoppingAll the statistics tell us that Internet shopping is only a tiny percentage of retail sales. It might seem like that in your local area, but if you travel overseas the advance of the Internet is visible in many places and changing retail forward planning substantially.所有的数据显示网购只占了零售业的一小部分。
但这似乎只在局部地方，如果在国外互联网的优势在很多地方都显而易见，并且实质上推进零售业向前发展。
At present, 196million people are on the Internet. That number is forecast to rise to 400 million within three years. In China, the projection is that the present number 13.5 million Internet users will rise to around 20 million by the end of year 2000. Because of this rise in Internet usage, retail executives in Europe and America estimate that within the next three years 15% of all retail dollars will be spent on Internet shopping. The newest shopping centers in Asia, America and Britain are showing a new mix of tenants, which reflects this change. Retail centers are becoming entertainment centers. They are no longer just rows of shops, but have themes, shows, and excitement on every corner.目前有1.96亿网民，在未来的三年里，这个数字预计将达到4亿在中国，互联网用户会由现今的1350万上升至2000万左右。

[原创]高三M9课文翻译江苏版译林牛津高中英语模块九M9U1 Reading 加拿大---枫树之国加拿大是世界上最大的国家之一，在面积上仅次于俄罗斯，素来以其绚丽的自然风光闻名于世。
加拿大有辽阔的荒原，北起北极寒地------那里的冬季平均气温通常是零下20摄氏度，南与美国毗邻-----边境线长达8892千米，据称是世界上最长的没有军队或警察设防的边境线。
在东部和西部边界，加拿大濒临两大洋，即大西洋和太平洋。
在这片广袤的国土上有冰封的荒原、巍峨的山脉、辽阔的平原、无数的河流以及似乎无边无际的森林。
在森林里、在北方的冰封之地有着许多野生动物，海洋和河流中有着大量的鱼类。
对于热爱户外活动的人来说，在远足、帆船运动、越野滑雪或雪车旅游中，他们可能好几个小时甚至好几天都碰不到一个人。
加拿大人非常喜爱这片荒原，特别是野生生物摄影师和猎人。
相信你也会喜爱～加拿大奉献给世人的宝藏不仅是秀丽的风光。
加拿大总人口约三千万，其中绝大部分是城市人口。
你会为多伦多、蒙特利尔、温哥华和埃德蒙顿而兴奋不已----这些城市均以大都市的生活方式、美丽的建筑和独特的文化而世界闻名。
多伦多是加拿大最大的城市，常被称为世界上文化最多元化的城市。
多伦多人的祖先来自于爱尔兰、葡萄牙、中国、黎巴嫩、意大利、越南以及其他许多地方。
加拿大国家电视塔坐落于多伦多市中心，通常简称为CN 塔。
它高达553米，直耸云霄，是世界上最高的塔～魁北克省内的港口城市蒙特利尔是加拿大第二城市，也是世界上仅次于巴黎的第二大法语城市。
魁北克原是法国殖民地，1763年被英国人接管，但其人口仍有70%以上是法国血统。
因此蒙特利尔的建筑和文化是世界(欧洲)和新世界(北美)的奇妙融合体。
这里有古老的建筑和教堂、狭窄的巷道，而一旁则矗立着用玻璃和钢筋混凝土盖成的摩天大楼。
作为一座现代化的城市，蒙特利尔夜生活丰富多彩，有许多饭店和俱乐部，还有文化性的和街头性的节庆活动，绝对不会让任何游客感到厌倦。
三年级英语下册的第九单元和第十单元课文的翻译Unit9-a“孩子，起来，做个有出息的人！”虽然母亲已经过世，但她的话依然清晰地在我脑海中回响，就如我在孩提时代听到的一样。
她心里也许是为我好，但那时依我看来，她那毫不温柔的为母之道就如同用竹条鞭笞一般严厉。
“天哪！”我叫道：“我已经是个有出息的人了。
我有权晚点起床了。
”“要是有什么我不能忍受的东西，那就是逃兵。
”她的声音在我脑海中回响，让我无法拒绝，于是我从床上爬了起来。
我的父亲在婚后5年就过世了。
他死后，我母亲没有钱。
她要抚养三个孩子，还有一身的债务。
当时母亲刚上大学，却不得不辍学去找工作。
几个月后，我们失去了房子，母亲一无所有，只有支离破碎的生活残局等着她去收拾。
我那奄奄一息的精神失常的祖母不得不被送往疯人院，而我们也只能寄居于她弟弟艾伦的家中。
最终，母亲找到了一份超市售货员的工作，每周工资10美元。
虽然母亲期望我能成为百万富翁，但她很清楚我的能力，在这一点上，她从不欺骗自己。
因此，从我很小的时候起，她就鼓励我向文字工作的方向发展。
母亲的家庭与文字素有渊源。
最显著的证据就是我母亲最年长的堂兄埃德温。
他是《纽约时报》的执行编辑，因报道古巴导弹危机而声名大噪。
她常用埃德温的例子来告诉我一个有雄心的人能走多远，即使他没什么天赋。
“埃德温?詹姆士虽然打字速度比较快，但他并不比其他人聪明，你看，他现在多么功成名就，”我母亲总是一遍又一遍地说。
她早就认定我有文字天赋，从那时起，她就有了目标，她的整个生命便开始围绕着帮助我开发天赋而运转。
虽然很穷，她还是为我们订了一套适合中高级水平读者阅读的读物。
每个月都会有一本书邮寄过来，价值39美分。
然而，我感兴趣的却是报纸。
我贪婪地汲取每一条消息：骇人听闻的罪行、可怕的事故、在遥远地区发生的战争对人们犯下的令人发指的罪行，以及不得不背井离乡的难民的消息。
警察贪污以及凶手死于电椅的报道令我着迷。
1947年，我从约翰斯?霍普金斯大学毕业，向《巴尔的摩太阳报》应聘警事记者一职。

委婉语米克托斯特先生起身离桌，说他得去小男孩的房间或者得上洗手间；年轻妇女宣布她怀孕了。
秘书抱怨她上司是屁股上的一处痛；承办人（或殡葬服务员）小心地询问把逝者运到何处。
这些都是委婉语——用温和的、易接受的和迂回曲折的词语来代替那些粗俗的、令人痛苦和不悦的词语。
委婉语一词源于希腊语“eu”和“phēmē”，意思是“好的”或“好听的”“言语”。
许多委婉语让人觉得愉快而滑稽，众人都为之所乐。
（几乎每个人：那些自称国家挑选殡葬服务员的人通常会忍住不笑）。
但是委婉语的存在有其相当庄严的理由。
它们把人们最害怕的死亡、死人和超自然现象等隐藏起来，把性、繁殖、排泄等生活事实掩盖起来，即使最优雅的人也不可避免因生活事实而意识到他们是来自肉身甚至比肉身更糟糕的东西。
一些个人和机构（尤其是政府）喜欢使用委婉语，因为他们急切地想向世界呈现他们可能最优雅的形象。
委婉语深深植根于我们的语言当中，很少有人能够做到一天不使用委婉语，哪怕自诩为说话平实的人也不能例外。
同样懂得世事的人会使用小男孩的房间和其他同类委婉语，他们也会在不想洗澡的时候说他们想要去洗澡间；会说玛丽正睡着了，哪怕她几乎少有睡眠；会说约翰消失了或离开了（好像他刚好搭上了去往达希恩的最后一班火车）；会说山姆和珍妮特是朋友，这比“私密情人”好听多了。
因此，委婉语是我们内心焦虑、矛盾、恐惧和羞愧所外在表现出来的、看得见的声音。
它们像是放射性同位素，追踪他们就有可能发现我们语言、头脑和文化当中已经发生过和正在发生的事情。
委婉语可分为两种大概类型——肯定式和否定式。
肯定式委婉语的作用是膨胀和放大，使得委婉的内容显得比实际更为宏大和重要。
否定式委婉语的作用是收缩和消减。
它们具有防卫天性，能够抵消禁忌用语的力量并且消除语言中人们不愿直接面对的一切东西。
肯定式委婉语包括许多花哨的职业名称，通过提高工人的工作地位来安慰他们的自尊心：比如把守门人叫做看管人（守门人本身也是看护人的委婉语），用顾问代替律师和各种类型的工程师（灭火工程师、床垫工程师、公关工程师等等），用帮助代替雇工（原本是奴隶的委婉语），用垂钓女和坐台女代替妓女等等。
Unit 9 Holidays and Special DaysIn-Class Reading A Merry Christmas参考译文快乐的圣诞节还吃吗？帕特里克·布伦顿1你可能知道merry 有两层意思：快乐和醉酒。
如果你像许多英国人那样，那么你的圣诞节将会是一个喝酒的而不是宗教的节日。
从12 月初直到1 月份的第一周结束，整个圣诞节期间，你会花很长时间与朋友、亲戚和同事喝酒。
无论身处酒馆喧闹友好的气氛中，还是置身于他人安宁舒适的家里，你都会一小口一小口地喝个不停。
2如果圣诞节前夕在皮卡迪利或牛津大街上行走，你就会看到大把大把的钱花在电子游戏、瓶装烈性酒、昂贵的服装、激光唱片、磁带、照相机以及大量的奢侈品上。
如果圣诞节前夕，到伦敦东区几个镇的主要街道上走一走，你就看不到（有人）大把大把地花钱买礼品。
假如你有钱或者你不怕负债，你就会加入到圣诞节所体现的炫耀性消费的行列中去。
如果你没钱，你会感到伤心失望，因为不能给心爱的人你想给的礼物。
3圣诞节应该是对他人表示爱心和良好祝愿的时候。
它应该是为那些没有我们那么幸运的人做善事的时候。
然而，当我们坐下来吃圣诞大餐的时候我们想到过别人吗？当然没有。
我们只顾忙于品尝圣诞节的美味佳肴。
我们只顾忙着想知道我们送给别人的礼物是同别人送给我们的一样好，还是比他们送的更好。
我们忘了顾及那些生病的和无家可归的人。
整个圣诞节基本上丧失了基督精神这一概念——我相信如果基督看到在以他的名义进行这样的庆祝活动，他一定会很痛苦。
4因此，我反对过圣诞节——我同意斯克鲁奇的看法：“这全是挂羊头卖狗肉。
”如果我们还要继续以这种铺张浪费、愚昧无知的方式庆祝的话，那么让我们诚实一点，就把它叫做“吃喝周”——让我们剥掉伪装，别去说什么圣诞节是“表达良好祝愿的时节”。
让我们正视它吧，圣诞节是一个失去了原来意义的节日。
不仅仅为小孩？林恩·奈特5最近，一位涉世颇深的妇女羞怯地告诉我，她把所有的礼物一直存到圣诞节的早上，然后坐在床上打开礼物，就像个孩子一样。
她原以为我会笑话她，说她傻。
但事实上，我非常高兴能碰见一个与我一样对待圣诞节的人。
6如今许多人对待圣诞节的态度不同了。
他们认为这只是店主们赚大钱的时候，也是人们到处奔波，买他们不愿意送的礼物和不想吃的食物的时候。
难道他们已经与自己的童年如此疏远，以至于忘了那些所有美好的事情？7首先，圣诞节使你摆脱日常生活的轨道。
对孩子们来说，在装饰品挂起来的前几周，乐趣已经开始了，随着12 月25 日的临近，激动的气氛越来越浓。
8在圣诞节期间，对大家来说，人与人之间似乎都要比平时友好得多。
当你在交通灯前停下来的时候，你会把头伸出车窗外说：“圣诞快乐。
”人们会微笑着给予回应。
在平时，大概你是很难想到会这样做的。
这或许是因为大部分人在度假，或者因为每个人都知道他们正在分享同一种经历。
如果你早早就作准备，而且真的想好把适当的礼物送给适当的人，送礼也是一件非常令人心满意足的快事。
9说实在的，不管店主从圣诞节中得到什么盈利，圣诞节还是一个“神圣的日子(holy day)”。
“节日(holiday)”这个词就是从“神圣的日子”来的，它使人们有时间停下来，花一点儿工夫认真地想一想其非商业的价值。
After-Class Reading College-a New Beginning参考译文我为什么喜欢感恩节1这些年来，我有机会把国内所有的州几乎都游了个遍，我一直惊叹我们国家丰富的人文景观。
我可以走出地铁就进入纽约市，也可以漫步在密歇根州的某个蓝莓农场，或者在缅因州某个人迹罕至的海滩上挖蛤蚌。
这些地方迥然不同，但都代表了我所热爱的祖国大地。
2我发现我们美国人有一个最大的共同点，那就是对待节日的方式。
我们都热爱节日。
节日使我们有理由忘掉日常的惯例，去庆祝、去做值得回忆的事情。
在所有节日中还有哪个能比感恩节更让我们有机会这么做的呢？对我们大多数人来说，感恩节这个周末是一年当中最长、最不受干扰的周末；是亲朋好友再相聚的最佳时节，也是所有节日当中最具美国特征的节日，因为它是庆祝350多年前早期移民来这儿定居的节日。
3对我来说，感恩节让我想起了人生中最让我感动、让我充满感激之情的所有事情。
有来自土地和收获季节的淳朴之美，有从耕作中获得的满足感，还有感恩节本身的传统习俗——回到马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州绿色山峦间的老家，品尝美味的食物，分享过节的仪式。
4我记得，我的祖父母在马里兰州的弗里兰附近有一个农场。
尽管我现在不常去那儿，但那里曾经一度是我生活的中心。
第一次在那个农场过感恩节时，我才五岁。
我还记得那顿饭：硕大的烤火鸡，鲜红的越桔酱，现做的美味土豆泥，还有我们家最喜欢的南瓜馅饼和苹果馅饼，散发着调料的香味。
那天晚上，我们围坐在客厅里，尽情歌唱。
我们称之为“为晚餐而唱”。
直到今天，每逢感恩节，在我们斯科特家还为晚餐而歌唱。
我们总喜欢唱那首“我们欢聚一堂”。
5在我们斯科特家，感恩节的传统从未削弱过，只是稍稍有了些改变。
尽管我现在住在纽约市，但我年年都在农场过感恩节。
只不过不是在我祖父母的农场，而是在弗吉尼亚州我自己的农场。
我妻子和我都喜欢烹调，我们尽量在节日里另外做一些特别的食物。
除了我们传统的家庭美食，我们还增加了用模子制成的西红柿色拉，内容丰富的红薯沙锅，还有美味无比的椰子柑橘色拉。
但是，不管我们的菜谱有多大的改变，不管我们现在是用烤鹅还是烤火鸡，还是用南方的山胡桃馅饼代替了苹果馅饼，我们那份感恩节的情愫依然不变。
其实，感恩节的宗旨就是提升生活，增进友谊、亲密关系和增进家庭团结。
每个和我们分享感恩节晚餐的人都成了我们的朋友，而每个朋友又都成了我们家的荣誉成员。
6我真的相信自己能够清楚地记得（感恩节晚餐的）种种滋味，缕缕香气，我们快乐地歌唱时每一个稍稍走调的音符，记住所有这一切的一切，就是没必要记住所有那些感恩节都去了哪里。
随着年龄的增长，感恩节的这些庆祝活动似乎都融进了我最美好的一组回忆。
我将永远记得，感恩节是我们享受美食、唱老歌、与家人朋友分享爱的时刻。
愿你们也拥有同样的快乐！课内阅读练习答案Part One Preparation1 Holiday WordsThe message is: Season’s greetings to first year students.2 Getting to Know About Western Holidays1—D 2—A 3—H 4—B 5—C 6—G 7—E 8—FMore InformationThe following are also important holidays in the United States.Labor DayIt is celebrated on the first Monday in September, and it is an occasion for parades to honor workers. The story of Labor Day began in the 19th century with the dream of a carpenter named Peter J. McGuire, who grew up eventually to become the president of a national union of carpenters. McGuire was well-acquainted with both the satisfaction and the suffering that accompanies hard work. He wanted to establish a holiday “to honor the indu strial spirit, the great vital force of this nation”. At his suggestion, the first Labor Day parade was held in New York City in 1882. In 1894, Labor Day became a federal holiday in the United States.Because the holiday also marks the end of the summer vacation period for many people, it is often the time for an outing to the beach, a picnic in the park, or a barbecue in the backyard. Since this holiday provides a three-day weekend for most workers and students, many people use it to enjoy a few last summer days relaxing outdoors.HalloweenEvery year on October 31, Halloween is celebrated throughout the United States.American children love to dress up in costumes and go trick or treating. If an adult refuses to supply a treat— candy, cookies, fruit, or money—the children may playa trick. Typical Halloween pranks (恶作剧) are soaping windows, writing on doorswith crayons, overturning garbage cans, sticking pins into doorbells to keep themringing, and spraying shaving cream on cars and friends. Masquerading (化装), begging, and many other Halloween customs are mainly for the amusement of children.The name Halloween is a short way of saying All Hallow’s Eve, which means the night before the Roman Catholic holy day of All Saints’ Day. Although Halloweengot its name from a Christian festival, its customs are mostly of pagan origin. They come mainly from two different sources: an ancient Celtic festival in honor of the lord of death and a Roman festival in honor of the goddess of gardens and orchards. The Halloween colors, black and orange, suggest both ideas: death and harvest.Thanksgiving DayIn the United States, the fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day. On this day, Americans give thanks for the blessings they have enjoyed during the year. Thanksgiving is usually a family day, celebrated with big dinners and happy reunions. The first American Thanksgiving was held in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621. Many of the traditions of the modern American Thanksgiving come from that first Thanksg iving celebration. Today’s Thanksgiving turkey is much like the ones that were hunted in the forest around Plymouth. Squash and corn, which were also harvested by the early Pilgrims, appear on the Thanksgiving table. Pumpkin pie is a traditional Thanksgiving dessert.Mother’s DayMother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On this occasion, Mother usually receives greeting cards and gifts from her husband and children. The best gift for an AmericanMom is a day of leisure. The modern employed homemaker enjoys the traditional Mother’s Day custom of breakfast (or brunch) cooked by her family and served to her on a tray in bed. Later in the day, it’s also traditional for the extended family group to get together for dinner, either in a restaurant or in one of their homes.Flowers are an important part of Mother’s Day. Mothers are often given a corsage or a plant for the occasion, particularly if they are elderly. If the Mother is no longer living, the children often place flowers on her grave.Father’s DayFather’s Day is celebrated throughout the United States and Canada on the third Sunday in June. The holiday customs are similar to Mother’s Day. Dad also receives greeting cards and gifts from his family and enjoys a day of leisure. EasterEaster, one of the most important Christian holidays, got its name and many of its customs and symbols from a pagan festival. This ancient holiday honored Eostre, the goddess of springtime and sunrise. Her name came from the word “east”, where the sun rises. Every spring, northern European people celebrated the festivalof Eostre to honor the awakening of new life in nature. Later, Christians related the rising of the sun to the Resurrection of Christ and to their own spiritual rebirth.(According to the New Testament, on Easter Sunday, Jesus Christ, who had died on the cross and been placed in his tomb, came to life again.)Many modern Easter symbols came from pagan times. The egg, for example, was exchanged by the ancient Persians, Greeks, and Chinese at their spring festivals. In Christian times, the egg took on a new meaning, symbolizing the tomb from which Christ rose. The ancient custom of dyeing eggs at Easter time is still very popular with children in Europe and North America.The Easter bunny also came from pre-Christian times. The rabbit, a very fertile animal, was a natural symbol of new life. Today, children enjoy eating chocolate bunnies and listening to stories about the Easter bunny, who brings Easter eggs in a fancy basket. In some families, the parents hide candy eggs for the children to find.Traditionally, the meats associated with Easter are lamb and ham. Both these meats have had symbolic meaning since ancient times. In the Old Testament, Abraham used the lamb as a sacrifice after God ordered him not to kill his son Isaac. For Christians, the lamb symbolizes the sacrifice of Christ. For thousands of years, the pig has been a symbol of good luck. On Easter Sunday, smoked or cooked ham is the traditional main course in both Europe and the United States.Easter is a happy time. The continual rebirth of physical life on earth symbolizes the eternity of spiritual life. But the deeper meaning of Easter is a profound paradox. The story of Christ implies that for all Christians the beginning of eternal life is physical death.STEP TWOSampleI’m a freshman at Zhejiang University with a major in economics. I have been on campus for about two months. I’m living in a dorm and have three nice roommates. I enjoy reading to widen my horizons, so I spend a lot of time in the university library. So far I have been enjoying my new life except that sometimes I worry about the coming mid-term and final exams. Our professors stress in class that students’ top priority here is to acquire as much knowledge as possible. We should attend classes regularly and take good notes. We should hand in our assignments on time; and the results of quizzes will account for part of our final grades. Usually we are very busy during the week. But on weekends we can spend some time on our hobbies. The spare time thing I like to do most is to surf the Internet. Some students make use of theirspare time to do some part-time jobs, for example, serving as a tutor. They say they have to earn at least part of their tuition. I thin k I’d prefer to work hard to win a scholarship to support myself.American Holiday Guide3 What Is This Special Day?STEP ONEBetween midnight on / of 31 March and noon on / of 1 April each year, some peculiar things can happen.

The verb “stuff ” ha s several meanings, but there are two that come to mind at Christmas time. First, “to stuff” means to overeat (to eat too much); second, “to stuff a chicken or a turkey” means to put stuffing (a mixture of bread and seasonings) inside before it is cooked. So in this case, the subtitle “More Stuffing” means “Do you want to stuff more into your stomach?” and “Would you like some more stuffing?”The latter is a polite question one would ask at the dinner table.The subtitle “Not Only for Children?” means that Christmas is not only a wonderful time for children but also for adults. It can also help adults get out ofthe ordinary routine of life.2• I agree with Patrick Brendan. I think Christmas is a waste of money. People spend a lot of money on food and presents. All these lead to a lot of waste.When people indulge themselves with good food and beautiful clothes, they rarely think of those who are poor and less fortunate. Every year they celebrate Christmas in the same way, spending, eating, and drinking. The real meaning of Christmas has nearly been lost in the commercialization. At the same time, Christmas causes sadness and depression for those who cannot afford to buy what they need, not to say luxury items.•I agree with Lynne Knight. After working all the year, people do need a time for relaxation and family reunions. Christmas is just the time for these purposes. When all the familymembers get together, eating the food they like and chatting with each other, presents are no longer important. It is love and friendship that people value most. It is also significant to have a holiday for people to express kindness and goodwill to others. If people are too busy to do something for others at other times, Christmas will be the best time to show love and kindness. In addition, holidays that make children happy will make adults happy too.3We can make Christmas more meaningful and less commercialized by practicing the following:•Set aside some time well before Christmas to make arrangements for the holiday: gatherings of family members, relatives and friends to show love and kindness.•Give creative cards and gifts. We can make the Christmas cards ourselves.Put our pictures on a cardboard and write season’s greetings on it. We can give handmade gifts to our family members, relatives and friends, or buy useful but inexpensive gifts, for example, give a book to a friend who loves reading.•Celebrate Christmas with what you have: your knowledge and imagination, combined with the resources at hand. For example, “sing” a Christmas song with sign language at parties or gatherings.•Write a letter to each of the people you’d like to remember and list five things you love about them.•Include in your celebration those who could not afford to celebrate the holiday. Share the joy of your Christmas with senior citizens living alone, international students who couldn’t go back home for the holiday, etc.Vocabulary1 1 A childish (having a manner unsuitable for a grown-up幼稚的，傻气的)B childC childhoodD childlike (of or typical of a child, especially having a natural lovable quality孩子般的，天真的)2A Commercially B commercial C commerceD commercialsE non-commercial3A exciting B excites C excitedD excitedE excitements4A satisfied B satisfy C satisfactionD satisfyingE satisfactorily2 1BA the way sb. feels at a particular time, for example if they are cheerful or sad精神状态B(especially BrE) a strong alcoholic drink such as whisky or brandy 烈酒2 BA adj. at an event, or in a place 在场的，出席的 B n.sth. given orreceived as a gift 礼物3 BA spend time with sb., especially sb. that other people disapproveof 结交，交往 B connect (people, things or ideas) together把……联系在一起4 AA having a lot of experience in life and good judgment about things such as art,fashion, etc.有经验的，老练的B(of a machine, system, method, etc.) that is very cleverly designed and very advanced and often working in a complicated way 复杂的，精密的5 AA n. the usual and normal way in which you dothings 常规B adj. usual; ordinary 常规的6 AA vi. come nearB n. a way of dealing with a person or thing7 BA depend onB move or bend your body in a particular direction8 AA no matter whatB any other(s) of a similar type3 1 fried 2 boiled 3 steamed4 roasted5 baked6 toasted fry: cookfood in hot fat or oil 煎，炸boil: cook food in boiling water在水中煮沸steam: cook foodin steam 蒸，煮roast: cook food over a fire or in a hot oven 烤，烘bake: cook food using dry heat, in an oven（在炉中）烘，烤，焙toast: make (bread, cheese, etc.) brown by holding it close to heat 烤（面包等）Translation1The topic of the speech was announced a week in advance, but the name of the speaker was not.2It seemed incredible that some students played football just before the exams.3Mr. Auden is a happy man, who derives pleasure from helping others.4Most people are aware of / have realized the need to reduce energy consumption. 5First of all, you must have clear goals and then a practical plan.6I’m not accustomed to such luxury.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, the whole family gather together at the dinner table to enjoy food prepared for this special occasion and talk with each other. After dinner, the elders gi ve their children money (put in red envelopes) as New Year’s gift. During the Spring Festival, people visit their relatives and wish each other “Happy NewYear”. Throughout the Spring Festival, everyone is much friendlier and kinder than at any other time of the year, and you can feel the world is filled with love. Children love Spring Festival most because they can eat delicious food, wear new clothes, set off firecrackers and have a good time. And young people often go shopping or go to the parks together, or they stay at home and watch TV. There is a peaceful and happy atmosphere everywhere.Sample 2The Spring Festival is my favorite holiday. It is a time for family reunion. I go back home to join my family. I also love to travel with my classmates, friends or relatives during this time.The Spring Festival is a time for dinner parties. People eat a lot and drink a lot. So it can also be called a stomach holiday. Chinese New Year food varies from place to place. It includes the well-known jiaozi, zongzi, niangao, yuanxiao and tangyuan, in addition to chicken, duck and meat. Each family must have fish, because having fish each year, in Chinese, means having more than what is needed or used in the family.After the most important dinner on New Year’s Eve, the great majority of the Chinese people will watch the New Year’s Gala on CCTV. At this time people can enjoy performances by well known actors and actresses, comedians, singers and dancers. Young people also enjoy setting off firecrackers and fireworks in the open. People enjoy their beautiful colors and patterns, and probably the noise too. All these contribute to the excitement of this special holiday.The Spring Festival is also a time for people to express their good wishes to each other. Everybody seems much friendlier than usual and people feel closer to their family and are kinder to their friends and neighbors. That’s why I love the Spring Festival most.。
