The annual Carnival in Brazil is a unique festival.It is also the most important ethnic celebration.It comes between the end of February and the beginning of March every year.Hundreds of thousands of tourists from overseas were attracted to join the feast.The earliest Carnival dates back to 1641:people would be encouraged to parade,dance and drink to celebrate the birthday of the Portuguese King.More than three hundred years later,the Carnival has become the most important folk festival of Brazil.On February 24th of this year,the “King Momo” dressed in bright orange,took the gold key of the city from the mayor of Rio De Janeiro,to signify the beginning of Carnival.During the following five days,the “King”,who plays a leading role in the Carnival,would throw out all daily routines,so that people could indulge themselves.“King Momo”is also known as“the King of Carnival”.He is hand-picked by Rio residents.There was once a rule that required the “King”to weigh no less than 100kg.Today,there is a rule that the “King”shouldn't be heavier than 130kg.Seven hundred thousand tourists gathered in the coastal city of Rio De Janeiro for Carnival.Whoever they are-poor or rich,celebrity or ordinary people- they are all just dancers,day and night.Happiness prevails,while complaints disappear.[阅读障碍词]1.annual adj.每年的2.ethnic adj.种族的,民族的3.signify v.象征4.indulge vt.放纵5.prevail vt.盛行[诱思导读]1.

课文内容Vocabulary: partying 词汇: 派对狂欢Brazilians certainly know how to throw a party– but will Rio be ready to welcome over 10,000 athletes and all the international visitors to the 2016 Olympics? At the moment, some natives of Rio (known locally as 'Cariocas') aren't too enthusiastic about the Games. They know they'll be putting up with a lot more roadworks and infrastructure building before the Olympic torch is lit in the Maracanã Stadium next August.Delays in venue construction gave the International Olympic Committee a fright in 2014. The government has since cleaned up its act and was praised recently for being ''on the right track'', although the challenge of cleaning up the highly polluted waters of the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and Guanabara Bay – venues for the sailing and rowing competitions – remains.Fortunately, Brazil has learnt a lot from hosting the World Cup in 2014. Some businesses realised they were missing a trick by not communicating well with their international customers. Restaurants now know that using the internet to translate the menu isn't always a good idea: 'bife a cavalo' isn't really 'horse steak' – it's beef with a fried egg on top!Security was a key challenge in 2014 – and during the Olympics, the police will be working hard to prevent street crime. As with other developing countries, crime rates are high, and visitors will be encouraged to keep their wits about them so as to avoid falling victimto pickpockets or muggers.So while the Cariocas are already becoming athletes – by jumping and running across construction sites on their daily commute – they know that the Games have the potential to be a great spectacle, they will be able to let their hair down, and international visitors will have a good time in their company.Even those Brazilians who have their reservations, know deep down something that others don't. An old local saying goes: 'Deus é Brasileiro' ('God is Brazilian'). They hope he will give them a hand to make the games a success. And you can be sure that whatever happens – or doesn't happen – Brazilians will show the world why they have such a reputation as party people!词汇表to throw a party 举行派对、聚会infrastructure 基础设施venue 场所fright (noun) 惊吓to clean up one's act 改进作风,改善行为on the right track 步入正轨,(做法、想法)正确to host 做东道主to miss a trick 错过时机to keep one's wits about one 保持头脑清醒,保持警觉pickpocket 小偷,扒手mugger 拦路抢劫犯to let one's hair down 放松一下,尽情享受to have a good time 过得愉快,玩得开心reservations 疑义,顾虑to give someone a hand 祝某人一臂之力测验与练习1. 阅读课文并回答问题。
Lesson12: Rio Carnival 里约热内卢狂欢节(巴西)原文:S1: Student 1 S2 : Student 2S2: I'm doing something amazing. I'm going to the Rio Carnival!S1: You are so lucky. It's the world's most famous street party.S2: Yes, millions of people come from everywhere and it goes on for several days. But the best part is called "The Sambodromo Parade". The Sarnbodromo is a 700-metre long street surrounded by spectator stands and luxury boxes which are filled with over 60, 000 people. Tickets are expensive and sell out quickly.S1: You had better get your tickets early, then. I heard it's famous for people dancing the samba and goes on all nightS2: Yes. They have lavish floats with women dressed in amazing costumes, and these are accompanied by marching bands. Then, all around is a sea of people who are also dressed in costumes.S1: They change the themes and costumes every year, don'tthey?S2: Yes, so you'll never see the same thing twice. Another interesting part is the "Masquerade Balls".SI: Oh, I've heard of these too. Lots of famous people attend, so ticket prices are sky high.S2: Yes, so I don't know if I can go to one. But, the street parades, apart from "Sambodromo" are all free. Everyone joins in together, with the real dancers and marching bands.S1: I think that sounds even more interesting. If you go to "The Sambodromo Parade", you can only watch. But, if you go to a normal street parade, you can be part of it!S2: I have heard some stories though, that it's pretty dangerous.S1: I think you must be careful of thieves, yes. But, so many people take part every year and only a few are mugged.I think it's worth taking a little risk co be part of something so amazing.S2: I guess you're right. There should also be lots of delicious food, because for 40 days after the Carnival the local people don't eat meat. During Carnival time they eat everything!S1: How many days does it last?S2: Erm … I think from a Saturday to Wednesday.S1: Oh, so is Tuesday what we know as Mardi Gras?S2: Yes, it means "Fat Tuesday", so that should be a clue about the food!译文:SI:学生l S2:学生2S2:我要去参加里约热内卢的狂欢节,这真让人兴奋。
