My First Day at SchoolI was shy and half stiff when in the presence of a crowd, and my first day at the new school mad

7、e me the laughingstock of the classroom. I was sent to the blackboard to write my name and address; I knew my name and address, knew how to write it, knew how to spell it; but standing at the blackboard with the eyes of the many boys and girls looking at my back made me freeze inside and I was unabl

8、e to write a single letter.“Write your name,” the teacher called to me. I lifted the white chalk to the blackboard and, as I was about to write, my mind went blank, empty; I could not remember my name, not even the first letter. Somebody giggled and I stiffened. “Just forget us and write your name a

9、nd address,” the teacher coaxed. An impulse to write flash through me, but my hand refused to move. The children began to titter and I grew red in the face.“Dont you know your name?” the teacher asked. I looked at her and could not answer. The teacher rose and walked to my side, smiling at me to giv

10、e me confidence. She placed her hand tenderly upon my shoulder. “Whats your name,” she asked. “Richard,” I whispered. “Richard what?” “Richard Wright.” “Spell it.”I spelled my name in a wild rush of letters, trying desperately to redeem my shyness.“Spell it slowly so I can hear it,” she directed me.

11、 I did. “Now can you write?” “Yes, maam.” “Then write it.” Again I turned to the blackboard and lifted my hand to write, then I was blank and void within. I tried very hard to collect my senses but I could remember nothing. A sense of the boys and girls behind me made me forget everything. I realize

12、d how completely I was failing and I grew weak and leaned my hot forehead against the cold blackboard. The room burst into a loud and prolonged laugh and my whole body froze. “You may go back to your seat,” the teacher said.I sat and cursed myself. Why did I always appear so dumb when I was called t

13、o perform something in a crowd? I knew how to write as well as any pupil in the classroom, and no doubt I could read better than any of them, and I could talk fluently and expressively when I was sure of myself. Then why did strange faces make me freeze? I sat with my ears and neck burning, hearing

14、the pupils whisper about me, hating myself, hating them.3.1 matching(1)When I went to the blackboard and prepare to write (2)When the teacher walked to my side and gave me confidence(3)When I turned to the blackboard and lifted my hand to write again(4)When I went back to my seat(a)I spelled my name

Write the following comprehension

16、 questions, synthesis, inference, and the ones for structure. You are required to write two question for each kind. Christian Festivals Christmas and Easter are two important Christian festivals that are widely celebrated in the Western countries. Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ and Eas

17、ter is about the resurrection of Jesus after he was killed on the cross by the Romans. Other festivals related to Christianity include Saint Patricks Day celebrated especially by the Irish, Passover celebrated by the Jews, and Good Friday celebrated on the Friday before Easter.Halloween, perhaps our

18、 weirdest annual celebration, is even stranger than it seems. Unlike the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving, it is neither patriotic nor historical, yet it is celebrated nationally. Unlike Christmas, Easter or Passover, Halloween is not associated with a particular religion. Yet it weaves spirituality,

19、 death and religious beliefs into our present and historical imaginations. Even its origin is complex and uncertain. Many Americans have heard rumblings that Halloween is a “pagan” or pre-European-Christian holiday with roots in Celtic traditions. A common and slightly elaborated version of this not

20、ion holds that Halloween is a descendent of the Celtic Samhain festival, which, on November 1, marked both the Celtic New Year and the day during which dead souls were believed to revisit Earth. But the name “Halloween” has distinctly Christian origins. In efforts to stop seemingly non-Christian cel

21、ebrations, the Roman Catholic Church incorporated Samhain festivities into the Christian calendar. In 731 A.D., November 1 was declared All Saints Day (All Hallows Day). October 31 thus became All Hallows Eve, in time shortened to “Halloween.” Even with the encouragement of activities such as masque

22、rading pageants of saints and the further, complicating step of adding Nov. 2 as All Souls Day to the church calendar after the year 1000, some “non-Christian” elements survive in Halloween.Some elements, however, have a distinctively Native American heritage. One key symbol the pumpkin was unknown

23、to Europeans before Columbus. But it was part of the sacred trinity of native American foods: squash, beans and maize, which appears in the form of candy corn and the corn shocks that decorate front porches. The original European version of the jack-o-lantern was a turnip. Trick-or-treating is linke

24、d to Irish Samhain traditions and thus became popular about the time that the Irish began immigrating to the United States in large numbers. Presumably during Samhain, people opened their doors and provided food to the wandering dead, so people eventually started dressing like wandering dead souls a

25、nd demanding food. Others suspect that the custom was introduced to replace, or at least mitigate, the pranks or even destruction that typically accompanied the holiday even in the most conservative rural communities. However, trick-or-treating may be a relatively recent phenomenon coinciding with p

26、opulation shifts from rural to urban and suburban environments. It is, after all, difficult to go door to door when the doors are miles apart. Trick-or-treating may have developed during the 1930s as a means to control young peoples Halloween night pranks. Finally, some people see in Halloween a con

27、nection to Englands Guy Fawkes Day, the Nov. 5 commemoration of a foiled attempt to blow up the king and Parliament in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Halloween also may be related to early American harvest festivals, with apple bobbing, hayrides, and many local variations of games to divine the identit

28、y of a future mate. Those games probably derive from traditional beliefs in Britain and Ireland that spirits loosed on Halloween made the day particularly good for augury. 4.1 syntheses 综合题: Which festival has not particular religion meaning?: According to the passage,which description about Hallowe

35、sies.In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a model. For example, she doesnt need help getting in and out of cars. “Women get in and out of cars twenty times a day with babies and dogs. Surely they can ge

36、t out by themselves at night just as easily.”She also says there is no reason why a man walked on the inside so he caught the garbage thrown out of the window. Today a man is supposed to walk on the outside. A man should walk where he wanted to. So should a woman. If, out of love and respect, he act

37、ually wants to take the blows, he should walk on the inside because thats where attackers are all hiding these days. As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of womens liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women w

38、ith outdated courtesies.It is usually easier to follow rules of social behavior than to depend on ones own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and a woman are led to their table in a restaurant, the waiter pulls out

39、 a chair;I have always done it the other way according to my wife. It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in.“Well,” said my wife when the hostess had gone

40、. “You did it again.”“Did what?” I asked, utterly confused. “Took the chair.” Actually, since Id walked through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first after all.“Well,” said my wife when the hostess had gone. “Y

41、ou did it again.” “Did what?” I asked, utterly confused. “Took the chair.” Actually, since Id walked through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first after all.7. 1 Write true or false items for the following list
