Unit 1 Festivals around the world

B3U1P1-3

FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS

Ancient Festivals

Festivals and celebrations of all kinds are held everywhere. The most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of the cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Other celebrations were held whe n hun ters could catch ani mals. They would starve if food was difficult to find, so they celebrated when they had food. They lit fires and made music because they thought these festivals would bring a year of plenty.

Festivals of the Dead

Some festivals are held to honour the dead, or satisfy and please the an cestors, who could retur n either to help or to do harm .In Japa n the festival is called Obon, whe n people should go to clea n the graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They light lamps and play music because they think that this will lead the an cestors back to earth. In Mexico they have the Day of the Dead in early November. On this importa nt feast day, people might eat food in shape of skulls, and cakes with bones" on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead. The festival of Halloween had its origin as an event in memory of the dead. It is now a children ' festival, when

they can go to their neighbours' homes and ask for sweets. They dress up and try to frighten people. If they are not give n any thi ng, the childre n might play a trick.

Festivals to Honour People

Festivals can be held as an honour to famous people or to the gods. One of these is the Drago n Boat Festival in China, which honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yua n. Ano ther is Columbus Day in the USA, in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America. In India there is a national festival on October 2 to honour Mahatma Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India' in depe ndence from Brita in.

Harvest Festivals

Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their

food is gathered for the wi nter ,and because a seas on of agricultural work is over. In Europea n countries it is the custom to decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and people get together to have meals. Some people might win awards for their animals, flowers, fruits and vegetables, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. In China and Japan there are mid-autu mn festivals, whe n people admire the moon and give gift of moon cakes.

Spring Festivals

The most en ergetic and importa nt festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of win ter 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 the red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and

families celebrate the lunar New Year together. I n some Wester n coun tries there are very excit ing carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. They might include parades, dancing in the streets day and ni ght, loud music and colourful cloth ing of all kin ds. Easter

is an important religious and social festival in Christian countries. It celebrates the return of Jesus

for Christians and it also celebrates the coming of spring. In Japan, the Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country is covered with cherry tree flowers so that it looks as though it might be covered with pink snow.

People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each others. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customs and forget our daily life for a little while.

B3U1P4

We think it has always bee n the custom for people to have festivals. They are a time to enjoy each other' company and have fun with our friends. We think that long ago people looked forward to the celebrations. Our ancestors would sit round a fire and cook plenty of meat to eat. Then they would be satisfied with their festival.

A SAD LOVE STORY

Li Fang was heart-broken. It was Valentine ' Day and Hu Jin had said she would meet him at the coffee shop after work. But she didn ' turn up . She could be with her friends right now laughing at him. She said she would be there at seven o

'clock, and he thought she would keep her word . He had looked forward to meeti ng her all day, and now he was alone with his roses and chocolates, like a fool. Well, he was not going to hold his breath for her apologise He would drown his sadness i n coffee.

It was obvious that the manager of the coffee shop was waiting for Li Fang to leave —he wiped the tables, the n sat dow n and tur ned on the TV —just what Li Fang n eeded! A sad Chin ese story about lost love.

The seventh daughter of the Goddess of Heaven visited the earth. Her name was Zhinu, the weavi ng girl, and she was the most lovely of the daughters. While she was on earth she met the herd boy Niula ng and they fell in love. ( Just like me and Hu Jin, "thought Li Fan g.) They got married secretly, and they were very happy. ( We could be like that, " thought Li Fang.) When the Goddess of Heave n knew that her daughter was married to a huma n, she became very angry and made the weaving girl return to Heaven. Niulang tried to follow her, but the river of stars, the Milky Way, stopped him. Finding that Zhinu was heart-broke n, her mother fin ally decided to let the couple cross the Milky Way to meet once a year. This happe ns whe n the stars Vega and Altair meet in the Heaven. Magpies make a bridge of their wings so the couple can cross the river to meet on the seve nth lunar mon th. people in China hope that the weather will be fine on that day, because if it is raining, it means that Zhinu is weeping and the couple won C be able to meet.

The announcer said, this is the story of Qiqiaojie. When foreigners hear about the story, they call it a Chinese Valentine C story. It C a fine day today, so I hope you can all meet the one you love.，，

As Li Fang set off for home, he thought, I guess Hu Jin doesn C love me. I C just throw these flowers and chocolates away. I don C wa nt them to remi nd me of her. ' So he did.

As he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way home, he heard a voice calling him. There was Hu Jin waving at him and calling, Why are you so late? I 'e been waiting for you for a long time! And I have a gift for you! ”

What would he do? He had throw n away her Vale nti ne gifts! She would n ever forgive him.

This would not be a happy Valentine ' Day!

B3U1P44&45

Winter carnival in Quebec

We are sitting in a caf in old Qiiebec, drinking hot coffee to try to warm up. The temperature is

32 degrees below freez ing. The win dows are covered with steam from the heat in side. Outside, the snow covers the streets and is piled up along the sidewalks and in park ing lots. The music and lights of the carnival continue, but we have been watching the parades, riding in horse carriages and liste ning to the music all day. Our feet are freez ing and our no ses are red.

Quebec carni val is the biggest win ter festival in the world —every year, hun dreds of thousa nds of people come to Quebec to take part in a week of activities. If you come, you must be prepared to keep moving, as it is too cold to sta nd and watch for long.

Early in the morning, you can watch the snowboarding competitions on the hill overlooking the river. The competitions speed down the track and through the air though they could fly.

If you are brave eno ugh, you can try the canoe race. Five or six men paddle in each canoe across the great St Lawre nee River, which is partly froze n. Of course, the river is full of big pieces of ice, and if you were to fall in, you would freeze in less than two minutes.

One of the favourite events is the dog-sled race, in which teams of about 6 Husky dogs pull long sleds at great speeds along a snowy track. One pers on runs beh ind the sled, shout ing to the dogs to en courage them. The sound of the dogs bark ing, the calls of the drivers and the shouts of the crowd make an exciting Northern experienee. The dogs are beautiful strong animals, with long, thick fur. Many of them have blue eyes.

After admiring the ice sculptures everywhere in the city, much like those in Harbin in China, you can have a cup of tae or coffee in an igloo. It is amaz ing how warm these ice houses can be!

Late in the evening, you can go to the snow palace, where Bonhomme the snowman is king, and join the crowd. You can dance outside to the music of a band, who are all dressed in heavy clothes -eve n some of their in strume nts are dressed up for win ter.

Finally we sit down in our caf eto warm up and to plan tomorrow - perhaps we' lljoin the snowmobile races -or perhaps we ' ll just sleep in.

Book 3 Unit 2 Healthy eat ing

B3U2P10

COME AND EAT HERE ⑴

Wang Peiwei sat i n his empty restaura nt feeli ng very frustrated. It had bee n a very stra nge

morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of mutt on kebabs, roast pork and fried rice. Then by lun chtime they would all be sold. His restaura nt ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was it so? What could have happe ned? He thought of his mutt on kebabs and fatty pork cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His fried rice was hot but did not taste of fat. His cola was sugary and cold and his ice cream was made of eggs, milk, cream and fruit. “ Nothing could have been better, ” thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Maochang hurrying by. “ Hello, Maochang, ” healled,

“ Yourusual? 'But Maochang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Maochang was not coming to eat with him as he always did.

Pen gwei followed Li Maocha ng into a n ewly-ope ned small restaura nt at the end of the street. There was a sig n in the win dow.

Tired of all that fat? Want to be thinner?

Come in side to Yong Hui s slimmi ng restaura nt.

Only slim ming foods served here.

Make yourself thin aga in.

Curiosity drove Wang Pen gwei in side. It was full of people. A very thin lady came forward.

“ Welcome! she said, “ My n ame is Yong Hui .I will take all that fat off you in two weeks if yo eat here every day. Th” she gave a menu to Wang Peiwei. There were only two kinds of food and one drink on it: raw vegetables, fruit and water. Wang Peiwei was amazed at this and especially at the prices. It cost more tha n a good meal in his own restaura nt. He could not believe his eyes! He threw away the menu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? He wondered if he should go to the library to find out. He couldn ' t have Yong

Hui getting away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!

After readi ng, he realised what was wrong with Yong Hui s restaura nt. It was not givi ng its customers en ergy-givi ng food! After eati ng in her restaura nt people would become tired very quickly. Perhaps this was a way to win his customers back! Peng Wei wrote his own sig n. It said:

Want to feel fit?

Come and eat here!

Our food gives you en ergy all day!

The competiti on betwee n the two restaura nts was on!

B3U2P12

Daisy wished to be _______ s o that she could wear all the latest, cool clothes designed for the

young. She decided to do some ______ i nto what foods should be eate n to become thinner. She

learned that one of the _____ of not eat ing eno ugh was to become very tired quickly. When she

went to the doctor, he told her she could be thinner as well as healthy if she ate more vegetables like beans, and .So she did. She felt very fit when she started eating more ___________________________________

foods as well as her usual energy - giving foods. She even began to enjoy eating all the vegetables rather than cooked. She soon looked like a model!

B3U2P14&P15

COME AND EAT HERE (2)

The n ext day Wang Pen gwei' s restaura nt was n early full and he felt happier. Perhaps he would be able to earn his livi ng after all and not have to close his restaura nt. He did not look forward to being in debt because his restaura nt was no Ion ger popular. He smiled .But the smile left his face whe n he saw Yong Hui walk ing in. She did no t look happy but glared at him as she moved round

the customers. “ May I ask what you weregdini my restaura nt yesterday? I thought you were a new customer and now I find you came only to spy on me and my menu, ""Pseiasshouted.

excuse me, " he calmly expla in edwa nted to know where all my customers had gone yesterday. I followed one of the m and found them in your restaura nt. I don ' t want to upset you but I found

your menu so limited that I stopped worry ing and started advertis ing the ben efits of my food. Why don ' t you sit down and try a meal"

Yong Hui agreed to stay and soon they were both enjoying the dumpli ngs, fatty pork and cola. When they were served the ice cream Yong Hui bega n to look ill. " I feel sick with all this fat and heavy food," she said," I miss my vegetables and fruit. " Wang Pengwei was just enjoying a second plate of dumplings so he sighed. “yes," he added,"and I would miss my dumplings and fatty pork. But don ' t you tired quickly? “Well, now you mention it. I do have to rest a lot, "

admitted Yong Hui. “ But don ' t you think it would be better if you were a bit thinner? " she asked Wang Pengwei. “ I ' m sure you would feel much healthier.

They began chatting about menus and balaneed diets. “My research has shown me that n either your restaura nt nor mine offers a bala need diet, " expla ined Pen gwei, " I don ' t offer eno ugh fibre and y ou don ' t offer eno ugh

bod- build ing or en ergy - givi ng foods. Perhaps we ought to combine our menus and provide a balaneed menu with foods full of energy and fibre. " So that is what they did ,They served raw vegetables with the hamburgers and boiled the potatoes rather than fried them .Then they served fresh fruit with ice cream. In this way they cut down the fat and in creased the fibre in the meal. Their bala need menus became such a success that before long Wang Pengwei became slimmer and Yong Hui heavier. After some time the found that their bus in ess cooperati on had turned into a pers onal one .Fin ally they got married and lived happily ever after!

B3U2P52-53

THE TOWN HAS TO DECIDE

（At the meeting that evening there are two speakers: one for and one against building a McDonald 'srestaurant.） FOR BUILDING A MCDONALD 'S

I was excited whe n I heard that our com muni ty（社区）was to have its own McD onald 'srestaura nt.

I thought about all those young people who would not have to go to the n ext tow n to buy their favourite burgers and chips. McDonald 'scares about healthy eating too and works with scientists to provide food that is of high quality,safe and healthy. It is also cheap .They ofte n provide salads as well as burgers and chips. You can also choose between cola and milk shakes（奶昔）.Of course it also means more work for our area that n eeds jobs badly. McDon ald 'say they are in terested in doing what is right for the community and being a good neighbour. So I think they will be concerned about providi ng park ing for the cars in our main street. Many of our young people will be only too happy to work for it. They make a promise to the people that work for them. They say,

“We value you, your growing skills and your help to the company. ” I can see nothing but good if this compa ny comes to build its restaura nt in our tow n.

AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALD '

I am very worried about McDon ald S buildi ng a restaura nt in our hometow n. We are a small community and we enjoy our local dishes. I am not sure if McDonald 's food is as healthy as they say in their advertisements. When scientists look at it carefully they find high levels of fat, sugar and salt. This is very worry ing. Too many young people are gett ing fat through eat ing too much fatty food. McDonald ' is not giving young people a good idea of what a healthy diet should be. Local Chin ese food ,on the other hand, is full of fresh vegetables and fresh meat and fish. The food at a McDon ald ' restaura nt is always the same so I won der if it is made or brought in from elsewhere. Although it is freshly cooked ,it must be less healthy tha n our own locally grow n and cooked Chin ese food.

I also worry about all those cars bringing people to buy food in McDon ald '. First, there would

be petrol fumes（气体）,which would make our clean air dirty. Second, there 'the problem of all those cars that try to park and preve nt other cars from moving quickly through our tow n. Third, what will happe n to all the food containers if people decide to eat on the side of the road just out of tow n? Will they just throw them on the gro und?

I'm sure many young people would be happy to work for McDonald s but will they be treated

fairly（公平地）? In America n, McDon ald ' does not allow Un io ns to operate in its restaura nts and these are people who speak up for the workers. If ,as they say, the workers are happy with them why should they fear some workers joi ning a Union?

So whe n I con sider the food, the cars and the jobs, I think we should not allow McDon ald 'to build their restaura nt in

our tow n.

Unit 2 English around the world The road to modern English At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or foreign language than ever before. Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same kind of English. Look at this example: British Betty: Would you like to see my flat? American Amy: Yes. I’d like to come up to your apartment. So why has English changed over time? Actually, all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first, the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then gradually between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries. Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The America Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling. English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell. STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTS What is standard English? Is it spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand? Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard English. This is because in the early days of radio, those who reported the news were expected to speak excellent English. However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak. When people use words and expressions different from “standard language”, it is called a dialect. American English has many dialects, especially the midwestern, southern, African American and Spanish dialects. Even in some parts of the USA, two people from neighboring towns speak a little differently. American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over the world. Geography also plays a part in making dialects. Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern USA speak with an older kind of English dialect. When Americans moved from one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same dialect as people in the northwestern USA. The USA is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken.

13. M3U1. Reading—Fog Fog warning When Polly left home that morning, the city was already covered in a grey mist. At lunch, the radio forecast that the mist would become a thick fog in the afternoon. At four o’clock, Polly left work and stepped out into the fog. She wondered if the buses would still be running. No buses to King Street Once out in the street, she walked quickly towards her usual bus stop. ‘How far are you going?’ the bus conductor asked her before he took her fare. ‘King Street,’ said Polly. ‘Sorry, Miss,’ replied the man, ‘the truth is that it is too foggy for the bus to run that far. Take the Underground to Green Park. The weather might be better there and you might be able to get a taxi.’ A tall man As Polly observed the passengers on the train, she had a feeling that she was being watched by a tall man in a dark overcoat. At last the train arrived at Green Park station. While the rest of the passengers were getting out, she glanced at the faces around her. The tall man was nowhere to be seen. Footsteps When Polly got to the station entrance, it was empty. Outside, wherever she looked the fog lay like a thick, grey cloud. There was no one in sight. Polly set off towards Park Street. As she walked along the narrow street, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching, but by the time she reached the corner of the street, the footsteps were gone. Suddenly Polly felt a rough hand brush her cheek, and she heard a man’s voice in her ear saying ‘Sorry.’ The man moved away. She could feel her heart beating with fear. The helpful stranger Then she heard the sound again - soft footsteps behind her. A minute before, she had wished for someone to come along. Now she wanted to run, but fear held her still. The footsteps seemed close now. Then a man’s voice came out of the darkness. ‘Is anybody there?’ Polly hesitated. At last she answered, ‘Hello, I think I’m lost.’ A few seconds later, a hand reached out and grasped her arm. Polly found herself staring up at the face of an old man with a beard. ‘Maybe I can help you. Which road do you want?’ He asked.

Unit 1 Festivals around the world FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS Festivals 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 dead Some 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 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 People Festivals can also be held to honour famous people. The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Y uan. 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 Festivals Harvest 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 countries, 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 moon-cakes. Spring Festivals The 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 colourful clothing of al 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.

Unit1 Friendship Reading ANNE’S BEST FRIEND Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend. Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II. Her family was Jewish so the had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family hide away for two years before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942. Dear kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here. …For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time some months ago, I happened to be upstairs one evening when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face… …Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very du sty windows. It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced. Yours, Anne Reading and writing Miss Wang has received a letter from Xiaodong. He is also asking for some advice. Read the letter on the right carefully and help Miss Wang answer it.
