Ask the students to talk about one of the western holidays that they think the most interesting.All the countries have their own festivals. The most important festival in china is Spring Festival, the first day of a year in lunar calendar. However, in western countries and North America, people mostly regard Christmas as a high point of the year.Besides Christmas, there are also many other festivals in the United States, such as Labor Day, Valentine's Day, Good Friday and so on. Each of them is unusual.January 1 is New Year's Day, almost all the American will have a celebration in order to welcome the coming of a new year. New Year greetings can be heard everywhere. Some people may make plans and resolve to change their bad habits so that they can have a good beginning in the New Year.Because ancient American people came from many countries, especially the western countries, they usually have the same festivals. But Thanksgiving Day is different, it is the most truly American of the national holidays in the United States. In 1620,some people called the settlers sailed to America. They arrived after a long time and lots of difficulties. In the first winter, more than half of the people died because of hungry and diseases. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring. They were waiting for the harvest. Their lives depended on the coming harvest. After some time their dream became true. The fields produced enough crops. Therefore they decided to thank the god and celebrate the harvest. Then President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day.Now, American people have a get-together and prepare a nice and big dinner on Thanksgiving Day. Turkeys are often offered, it almost becomes the symbol of Thanksgiving. All kinds of sweets and nuts can be seen on the table, too It's still a day to express people's thanks for the year's bounty and the god today.April Fool's Day is another interesting festival. It began in France and was very popular at that time. It was celebrated in nearly all the western countries later. In the early 18th century, the tradition was taken to the United States by the Englishmen who moved to America early. On April 1,people will play jokes on others and they may decorate their houses as if it was Christmas or Near Year's Day. It's very interesting to join the parties on April Fool's Day. People may make some pretty but fake dishes, for example, the ice-cream may be covered with tomatoes. "Have a lovely day!" "You are an April fool!" "These words can be often heard on April Fool's Day. People won't be unhappy if others play jokes on them at that day.2.

When someone is tricked, people say: “April Fool.”ii. listening-centered activities1. Listen to a passage and complete the following clues about “The Origin of Santa Claus”1. The custom of giving presents during Christmas goes back to the ancient Romans.2. In the Bible, the wise men brought gifts to Jesus on the 12th day after his birth.3. In some countries of Europe, the gifts are supposed to be brought in by Saint Nicholas, a bishop who was regarded as a special friend of the children.4. When the Dutch came to New York, they brought the traditions of Saint Nicholas with them.5. In America the date of Santa Claus‟s arrival was moved to Christmas eve.The reason for this is that the gifts are supposed to be brought in by Saint Nicholas on the eve of his feast day, December the 6th. Saint Nicholas was a bishop of the 4th century who came to be regarded as a special friend of the children. So in various countries around the world Saint Nicholas returns every year with gifts for good children. When the Dutch came to New York, they brought the traditions of Saint Nicholas with them. They called him “San Nicholas.” And this soon was changed to “Sankt Klaus”, and then Santa Claus. But in America the date of Santa Claus‟s arrival was moved to Christmas eve. And gradually his red costume, the reindeer, and his home at the north pole became part of the tradition.2. Spot Dictation:and because it meant they would have a period of rest from work afterwards. They would make merry and have a great holiday. Even though it was November, they considered it the beginning of the new year! When the Romans conquered Europe, they changed this time of celebration to the first of January. From then the coming of the new year was a symbol of a new life with new hope for the future. This custom and this meaning has lasted to this day. We celebrate the new year hoping it will bring us a good life!3. Background knowledge about Valentine’s Day:Several different stories are told about the origin of Saint Valentine's Day. One legend dates as far back as the days of the Roman Empire. According to the story, Claudius, the Emperor of Rome, wanted to increase the size of his army. He knew that it would be easier to get young men who were not married to join. Therefore he made a rule that no young man could marry until he had served a certain number of years in the army.A priest named Valentine broke the rule and secretly married a great many young people. Finally, Claudius found out about Valentine and put the priest in prison, where he remained until his death on February 14.After his death, Valentine was made a saint, and the day of his death was named Saint Valentine's Day. It became the custom for lovers to send each other messages on this day. Now Saint Valentine's Day is a time for people to give roses or chocolates and to send greetings.4. role playWork with your partners to make a conversation in the following situations:1) You ring your friend Lisa on Christmas Eve.Tom: Hi! Lisa. Is that you? It‟s Tom.Lisa: Merry Christmas! Tom.Tom: You too. What are you going to do during the holidays?Lisa: I‟m going to visit my parents and my brothers back home.Tom: Have a safe trip! Then. You know what? I‟m going to China for my holidays. I hope that will be exciting.Lisa: I‟m sure it will.2) You and your girlfriend/boyfriend celebrate Valentine‟s Day.Jack: Happy Valentine‟s Day, dear!May: Oh! I can‟t believe you remembered!Jack: How can I forget? There are reminders all over town. Everywhere I go I see signs that tell me to buy flowers and chocolates for the woman I love. So, here, please accept these flowers and chocolates.May: Thank you so much. I cooked a special dinner for you tonight. Happy Valentine‟s Day to you!3) You are discussing with your friend about the New Year‟s resolution.Peter: Have you made a New Year‟s resolution yet, Mark?Mark: No, I never make New Year‟s resolu tions. I did for a few years, but I never kept them. Now I don‟t even bother to make them. What about you?Peter: I‟ve made a resolution to lose weight.Mark: I don‟t think you need to lose weight. You look just fine.Peter: Thank you! I appreciate that comment.5. video clip1) What do you know about Thanksgiving Day?2) If you have an opportunity to give thanks to somebody, whom will you give thanks to first? And how?iii. reading-centered activities1. What is Christmas?The word Christmas comes from the words Cristes maesse, or "Christ's Mass." Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus for members of the Christian religion. Most historians peg the first celebration of Christmas to Rome in 336 A.D.Christmas is both a holiday and a holy day. In America it is one of the biggest event of the year (especially for kids), and for members of the Christian religions it is an important day on the religious calendar.Christmas Day, the 25th of December, is the biggest festival(节日)celebrated in the Christian countries of the world. Although everyone enjoys Christmas Day,it is particularly enjoyed by children, who get very excited because of the presents they know they are going to receive. Small children believe that their presents are brought by Father Christmas(圣诞老人).Father Christmas is a kind of old man who, the children are told, lives at the North Pole. He travels through the sky on a sleigh(雪撬) which is pulled by reindeers(驯鹿) and loaded with(装满) presents. Stopping on the roof of houses, he enters by climbing the chimney(烟囱).When small children go to bed on Christmas Eve, they hang a stocking at the end of their beds. Their parents warn them not to try to look at Father Christmas, or he will not leave them anything. When they wake, they find theirstockings filled with presents. Children are very excited on Christmas morning and always wake up early.Christmas is also a family celebration. As any members of the family as possiblegather to eat, play party games and watch the special Christmas programmes on TV.The federal government, all state governments, all schools/colleges/universities and the vast majority of businesses in America give employees one or two days off at Christmas, making it an important holiday (other federal holidays are: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving). In the Roman Catholic calendar, Christmas is one of six holy feast days celebrated in America, the others being: Circumcision (New Year's Day), Ascension, Assumption (Mary's assumption into heaven, August 15), All Saints (November 1), and the Immaculate Conception (December 8).Historians are unsure exactly when Christians first began celebrating the Nativity of Christ. However, most scholars believe that Christmas originated in the 4th century as a Christian substitute for pagan celebrations of the winter solstice. Before the introduction of Christmas, each year beginning on December 17 Romans honored Saturn, the ancient god of agriculture, in a festival called Saturnalia. This festival lasted for seven days and included the winter solstice, which usually occurred around December 25 on the ancient Julian calendar. During Saturnalia the Romans feasted, postponed all business and warfare, exchanged gifts, and temporarily freed their slaves. Many Romans also celebrated the lengthening of daylight following the winter solstice by participating in rituals to glorify Mithra, the ancient Persian god of light (see Mithraism). These and other winter festivities continued through January 1, the festival of Kalends, when Romans marked the day of the new moon and the first day of the month and year.Most scholars believe that Christmas originated in the 4th century as a Christian substitute for pagan celebrations of the winter solstice.Although the Gospels describe Jesus‟ birth in detail, they never mention the date, so historians do not know on what date he was born. The Roman Catholic Church chose December 25 as the day for the Feast of the Nativity in order to give Christian meaning to existing pagan rituals.2. introductionTo many people Christmas is no longer than a most important religious celebration. It means drinking and eating with abandon, and people are apt to participate in the conspicuous consumption. They hardly think of the less fortunate, one should remember all the good things and express his love to others.Work in pairs to explain the meanings of the following two sentences.Christmas isn‟t Christmas without a turkey.Turkey makes a really traditional Christmas.As we all know, turkey is the main food for Christmas in North America. Without turkey, Christmas won‟t be Christmas. Turkey always goes together with cranberry sauce. The turkey is stuffed with sausage and a mixture of bread, milk, eggs, onions and various herbs including summer savory.Turkey is like a very large chicken that usually weighs around 15 lbs. It takes around 7 hours to roast it in the oven. Some people use an electric knife to carve it into pieces.3. words and phrasesabsolutely: definitely and completely; unquestionably 完全地，确实地adj.: absolute relativeabsolutely relativelyalcoholic: containing or preserved in alcohol 含酒精的an alcoholic drinkn. alcoholapproach: to come near or nearer, as in space or time: 接近：靠近或靠得更近，如在空间或时间上; to come close to, as in appearance, quality, or condition; approximate: 近乎Spring approaches.The performance approaches perfection.n. a way or means of reaching something; an access:途径; the method used in dealingwith or accomplishing:步骤：an approach to the bridgea logical approach to the problemThe approach of winter brings cold weather.In some cases, different approaches ____the same scientific problem lead to conflicting theories.A)to B)in C)of D)for答案：A) the approach to...，为固定搭配，意为“…方法(途径)”。

3. Introductory remarks
It is clear that TV's influence onAmerica, for both good and bad has become a major force in determining how people relax and behave. The consequences are staggering. Studies show that the lives of Americans, from their selection of food to their choices of political leaders, are deeply affected by TV. Moreover, TV has played a more and more important role in people’s lives in the world. As a matter of fact, it has become a part of human life that a modern world without television is unimaginable. Some people even say that life without television is not worth living. But some, on the other hand, argue against TV. They think TV is taking up too much of a person’ time and making him lazy, not to mention its harmful influence upon him. The author of this article, for example, is raising his voice against TV, urging viewers to turn off their sets and enjoy a precious quiet hour, an hour without the distraction of TV.

Information Related To The TextEnergy Crisis:This phrase usually refers to a critical shortage in the supply of energy—producing fuels, such as gas, oil, and coal. During the early 1970‟s, the demand for petroleum increased sharply, and western countries depended heavily on imported supplies. The situation became worse during the Arab-Israeli war of 1973, when the Arab nations reduced oil production and embargoed oil shipments to the U.S. and other countries that supported Israel, causing an acute energy shortagein these countries during the winter of 1973-1974, thus first came “energy crisis.”Renewable Energy Resources:“Rnewable enerny resources” refers to sources of energy which are capable of being renewed or cannot be depleted by use, such as watwe, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and marine-based power.2. Introductory Remarks:In this article, the author discusses energy crisis. There are two main groups of energy: renewable and nonrenewable. Most of the energy we use comes from the nonnewable. These days, more people are using more machines to do things every day at work and at home, and we need more energy than we …ve ever needed. This rise trend of energy consupmtion is obvious. We are faced with a serios energy crisis.The fact of the decrease in the reserves of traditional fossil fuel and the increase in the consumption demand makes it very urgent to take measures to resolve the problem of energy crisis. So now people are working hard to find cleaner and renewable alternatives of energy, such as hydrogen energy, wind energy, solar energy and nuclear energy.3.
