2b  Read the passage about Christmas and answer the questions.  阅读关于圣诞节的短文,然后回答问题。
The Spirit of Christmas  圣诞节的精神
Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts,Christmas trees and Santa Claus.  许多人会认为,当我们想到圣诞节时,我们 就会想到礼物,圣诞树和圣诞老人。
But behind all these things lies the true meaning of  Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us.  但在所有 这些事情之后,隐含的则是圣诞节的真正含义:与身边的人共享并给予关爱与欢乐的重要性。
The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.  《圣诞颂歌》的故事或许是最好的例子。
A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens.  《圣诞颂歌》是查尔斯狄更斯写的一篇著名小说。
It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles.  它讲述的是一个名叫Scrooge的老人的故事,他从不欢笑甚至于微笑一下。
He is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely.  他非常吝啬,只想到自己,对别人也不友好。
He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas.  他只是关心能否赚更多的钱。他不喜欢圣诞节。
One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner.  有一次平安夜那天,Scrooge看到了雅各布马利的鬼魂,那是他死去的 商业伙伴。
Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died.  马利曾经和Scrooge一样吝啬,所以在他死后,他受到了惩罚。
He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him.  他警告Scrooge说,如果他不想有与自己一样的下场,那么他要作出改变。
He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.  他还告诉Scrooge说,会有三个鬼魂去拜访他。
That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge.  那天晚上,三个鬼魂拜访了Scrooge。
First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child.  首先,鬼魂Ghost of Christmas 把他带回到了他的童年,让Scrooge想起了孩提时代的快乐时光。
Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how  others are spending Christmas this year.  然后,第二个鬼魂,Christmas Present鬼魂,带他去看了看今年别人是如何过圣诞节的。
Everyone is  happy, even poor people.  每个人都很快乐,穷人也一样快乐。
The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future.  最后一个鬼魂,“未来的圣诞节”鬼魂带他去了未来。
He  sees that he is dead but nobody cares.  他看到他死了,但没人在乎他。
Scrooge is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and  finds out it is  already the next morning on Christmas Day!  Scrooge吓得在床上醒来,发现此时 已是圣诞节的早上!
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person.  他决定改变自己的生活方式,并承诺成为一个更好的人。
He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives.  他高兴地和他的亲戚们庆祝圣诞节。
He also gives gifts to people in need.  他还给穷人以礼物。
He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes.  他现在友好温暖地对待每一个人,在他所去的地方播撒关爱和 欢乐。
And that  is the true spirit of Christmas!  这就是真正的圣诞精神!

Unit2
听录音并回答问题。
吴雨:嗨,简,关于万圣节前夕,你知道什么?
简:噢,它是北美一个很受欢迎的节日。
吴雨:在中国我们确实不庆祝它。我知道它是在10月,对吗?
简:是的,是10月31日。它是一个很恐怖的节日,但我认为它很有趣!
吴雨:人们在那天做什么?
简:许多人使他们的房子看上去很恐怖。他们可能关掉灯,点上蜡烛。他们有时也在门和窗子的周围挂上像蜘蛛和鬼怪之类的东西。
吴雨:哇,那听起来很恐怖!
简:没有那么糟。甚至小孩子都装扮成鬼怪或者黑猫。他们还可以装扮成有趣的东西,像卡通人物。有些父母也装扮起来加入到这种乐趣中!
吴雨:父母带着他们的孩子在社区索要糖果和要求款待吗?
简:是啊。孩子们在每一家门口说“不招待就捣乱!”这意味着如果你不招待他们,他们就会捉弄你!
吴雨:这听起来像是一个非常有趣的节日!我想知道它是否会在中国变得受欢迎。
