are?_______________________________________________________ today, we are going to learn a love story.step 2 fast readingthe chinese people believe that the star vega（织女星）, east of the milky way, is zhinu and, at the constellation of aquila（天鹰座）, on the western side of the milky way, niulang waits for his wife.read fast and get the key words.introduction zhinu, the _______ girl, the most lovely

fang at 7:00.2.if it is raining on qiqiaojie, it means that zhinu is weeping and the couple will be able to meet.3.because her most lovely daughter got married to a human secretly, the goddess got more than angry.4.li fang thought he could get married to hu jin, just like niu lang and zhi nu.5.when li fang met hu jin, he felt very glad.step 3 careful readingt: read the passage again and answer

forget the sadness/sorrow)—gave up and threw…away—met hu jin without gifts—felt worriedhu jin: made an appointment with li fang—kept her word but waited in the tea shop—not turned up in the coffee shop—waited for him all the time—met li fang with giftsending??step 4 post-readingt: the two love stories happened in two different festivals. what are their similarities and differences? how should we treat chinese traditional festivals and some western festivals?_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________t: nowadays, some people pay more attention to the valentine’s day than qiqiaojie, which was once one of the most popular festivals in ancient china. anyway, each festival in china has its own tale and meaning. so we should hold on to our own festivals and culture, as well as pass them on from generation to generation. we should never allow some western festivals to take the place of chinese traditional festivals. writingt: li fang met hu jin after he lost heart and threw away the valentine’s gifts. to his surprise, hu jin kept her word and waited for him in the tea shop all the time! what should he do? what would happen to the two lovers? please write a different ending to the story of li fang, beginningwith: as he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way…______________________________________________________________________________________________________________共6页，当前第4页123456_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ t: before writing, you’d better read the story again and then think of what hu jin will say when she finds out later that the flowers and chocolates are gone. then think of an ending to the story that will solve li fang’s problem. will he be happy or sad?step 5 language points:1. but she didn’t turn up.1) 来, 出席(某活动)i’m very happy you turned up so early.2) 把(收音机等)音量开大一些, 其反义短语是turn down.turn up the radio a little, i can scarcely hear the program.相关短语:turn down 拒绝turn off 关掉turn on 打开turn out 结果是......turn to sb. for help 向某人求助2. she said she would be there at seven o’clock, and he thought she would keep her word.keep one’s word 意为“守信用”,其反义词是break one’s word, 即“失信”。
高二英语上册Unit 1 Festivals around the worldFestivals and celebrationsFestivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters 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 origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events.Festivals of the DeadSome festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They also light lamps 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 "bones" on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead. The Western holiday Halloween also had its origin in old beliefs about the return of the spirits 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 do not 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 Mohandas 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 gathered for the winter and the agricultural work is over. In European ountries, people will usually decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and will get together to have meals. Some people might win awards 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 winter and 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 carnivals, 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. These carnivals might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourfulclothing 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 customs and forget our work for a little while.。
