Phoenix flutes make music.The moonlight flashes Fish and dragon lantems whirl the whole night long.
——Xin Qiji
Phoenix flutes make music,...whirl the whole night long.凤箫声动，玉壶光转，一夜鱼龙舞。
这几句词源自我国宋朝词人辛弃疾(1140-1207)的著名词作《青玉案・元タ》，英译摘自《古诗苑汉英译丛：宋词》(杨宪益、戴乃送等译)。全词描绘了我国古代元宵节景人合一的民俗风情画卷该词作全文为：“东风夜放花千树。更吹落、星如雨。宝马雕车香满路。风箫声动，玉壶光转，一夜鱼龙舞。蛾儿雪柳黄金缕。笑语盈盈暗香去。众里寻他千百度。蓦然回首，那人却在，灯火阑珊处。

里约狂欢节被认为是世界上最盛大的狂欢节，于每年二月或三月举办，时长五至七天。里约狂欢节以各流派桑巴舞(samba)表演最为闻名。狂欢节期间，各舞蹈团体、歌唱团体、演奏团体之间相互竟艺，欢庆的人们服装华丽，表演火热奔放且持续时间长，场面极为壮观。

Reading and Thinking
Discover the reasons for festivals and celebrations
1 Before you read, discuss these questions in groups.
1 What festivals do you celebrate with your family each year?
2 Why do you think people celebrate different festivals?
2 Read the text and find out the answer to the question in the title.


1 This important agricultural festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered in.这一重要的农耕节日(一般)会在所有农作物收割完毕后举行。
During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.在中国中秋节期间，家庭成员团聚在一起，共赏明月，品尝美味的月饼。
Gather一词的含义非常丰富。上面所列的第一句中， gather sth(in)表示“收割；收获”。第二句中的gather表示“聚集；集合”，在表达这一含义时， gather之后还可接介词或副词，如 round、 together等。例如：
Many people in the square were attracted by the beautiful music and they soon gathered round the performers.广场上许多人被那美妙的音乐所吸引，很快都聚集在演奏者的周围。
It is a tradition for most American families to gather together to celebrate Thanksgiving.对于大多数美国家庭而言，聚在一起庆祝感恩节是一种传统。
此外，gather还可表示“收拢；归拢”“搜集；采集”“认为；猜想”等含义。例如：
The boy gathered all his toys from the floor and then put away in a box.男孩将地上所有的玩具收起来，然后放在盒子里。
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.花开堪折直需折(意思是花开了可以折的时候要赶紧去折)。
I gather from your letter that you are not satisfied with your new job.从你的来信中我了解到，你对你的新工作不是很满意。
2 But, to be frank, the fireworks going off throughout the night were really annoying.但是，说实话，整晚的烟花燃放声真的有些令人烦躁。
此句中going off throughout the night用作 fireworks的定语，其中动词短语go of表示“爆炸”。除了这一含义以外，go off还可表达“离开”(警报器)发出响声”“(设备)停止运转”“(食物)变质"等含义。例如：
He hung up the phone and went off in a hurry他挂了电话，匆忙地离开了。
The central heating in the building goes off at 6 o'clck.大楼的中央供暖系统六点停止供暖。
The alarm clock went off at 6:40 and woke him up.6点40分，闹钟响了，把他叫醒了。

4 What else would you like to know about the festival and the writers experience?
1 the Naadam Festiva“那达慕”大会
 “那达慕”大会是蒙古族传统节日，主要流行于我国内家古自治区、甘肃省、青海省、新疆维吾尔自治区和蒙古人民共和国。“那达幕”大会举办时间一般在七八月，节期一至数日。“那达慕”为蒙古语，意为“娱乐”“游戏”。“那达幕”源于蒙古族的“祭敖包”仪式。“包”以石块堆积而成，原是道路和境界的标志，后来成为祭祀场所。人们意在通过祭放包，祈求吉祥多福、人畜兴旺，同时也举行一些体育娱乐活动，后来演变为“那达幕”大会，成为欢庆农业丰收和畜牧业兴旺的节日盛会。每年夏秋牧闲时节，由一旗或数旗联合举办“那达幕”大会。届时，牧民身着盛装，骑马或乘车赶来。传统的“那达幕”盛会要进行赛马、射箭和捧跤三项竞技，现在还增添了马球、马术、田径比赛以及文艺演出等新内容，同时进行物资交流。大会期间，与会者相互邀请做客，敬酒祝愿。
2 I'm finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it.现在我终于回到家了，感到十分疲能，但是和我的朋友一起欢度“那达幕”大会是完全值得的。
be worth it是一种非正式表达，常用来表示某事是否值得做。与之相反的表达是 be not worth it,即表示某事不值得做。例如：
It took us at least three hours to get to the top of the mountain, but the view up there is worth it.到山顶至少花了我们三个小时，但是(观赏)上面的景色还是值得的。
A: Shall we go and see the museun?我们去不去看那个博物馆？

Reading and Thinking
Learn to make choices in life
1 Before you read, think about this question and share your ideas with your partner: What are some important life choices?
2 Read the text about Lin Qiaozhi and then answer the following questions.
1 What hard choices was Dr Lin faced with throughout her life? Underline the sentences about these choices.
2 What were the results of her choices?
3 What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning Dr Lins life choices?


1 To a person nothing is more precious than their life,…对一个人来说，没有什么比他们的生命更加珍贵了，……
此处“ nothing is+(形容词)比较级+than..."是一个常见的句型，表示“没有什么比……更加……”。如：
To me, nothing can be more important than a healthy body.对我来说，没有什么比健康的身体更重。
In my eyes, nothing is better than your presence.依我看，没有什么比你亲自出席更好的了。
句中their相当于 his or her。在现代英语中，人们对诸如 person、 somebody、 anyone这类性别不明的指代，除了宽泛地使用 he or she、 him or her或 his or her外，更多时候会结合语境选用复数概念进行指代，即使用they/them/ther。再如：
Let's keep our voices low- someone is taking their naps in the classroom.我们说话低声些，有人在教室里午休呢。
If anyone finds my glasses, could they let me know?如果有哪位看到我的眼镜了，麻烦告诉我好吗？
2 These words of Dr Lin Qiaozhi give us a look into the heart of this amazing woman,and what carried her through a life of hard choices.林巧稚这一席话使我们得以窥见这位非凡女性的内心世界，并了解是什么支撑她度过充满艰难快择的一生。
林巧(1901-1983),中国著名医学家，我国妇产科学的先驱。1929年，林巧毕业于私立北平协和医学院(后更名为北京协和医学院)，被聘为协和医院妇产科大夫，为该院第一位毕业留院的中国女医生。新中国成立后，她曾担任中华医学会副主席等駅务，是中国科学院首批学部委员中唯一的女性院士，在妇产医学和妇幼保健领域作出了杰出贡献。
carry sb through为短语动词，表示“帮助或使得某人勇难关、战胜病魔等”。如：
My confidence, together with the skills you taught me, carried me through the exams.我的信心，加上您教给我的技巧，帮助我通过了考试。
It was your words that carried her through.是你的话支撑着她渡过了难关。
3 At times she was even seen riding a donkey to faraway villages to provide medical care.有时人们基至会看到她骑着毛驴到遥远的村庄给人看病。
与see类似的表示感觉和心理状态的动词，如hear、feel、 smell, watch、find等，其后都可接“宾语+动词-ing形式”构成的复合宾语结构，动词-ing形式充当宾语补足语，用来补充说明宾语的动作和情况。如：
We often see her dancing in front of the public.我们常常看到她在公众面前朝翩起舞。
I didn't notice him leaving the building.我没注意到他离开大楼。
faraway是一个形容词，主要用作前置定语，修饰具体的名词。如：
We enjoy his stories of all the faraway countries he has visited.我们喜欢听他讲所有他去过的遥远国度的故事。
而 far away短语则不同，除用作状语外，还可作后置定语，对名词进行限定。如：
 We could hear the sound of water not far away.我们听得见不远处水的响声。
Sam lives far away from his school.萨姆住的地方离他的学校很远。
4 And even as she lay dying, her final thoughts were for others.即使在她弥留之际，她最后惦念的仍是他人。
be/ lie dying相当于汉语“弥留之际”，是一种地道的英语表达方式。如：
He was dying, but still thinking about the safety of others.在他弥留之际，依然想着他人的安危。

No one really knows exactly Ⅰ when the first people arrived Ⅰ in what we now know as Califomia. ⅠⅠ It is likely that Native Americans moved to California at east fifteen thousand years ago. Scientists believe that these settlers crossed the Bering Strait by a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times.In the 16th century, the native people suffered greatly after the arrival of the Europeans. Thousands of them were killed or forced into slavery.In addition, many died from the diseases brought by the Europeans. However,some survived these temble times, and today there are more Native Americans living in California than in any other state of America.
2 Listen again and repeat.


1 a potluck dinner/ party"百乐餐"
potluck dinner/party是美国很受欢迎的一种聚餐形式。它最早出现在16世纪的英格兰，取意于"luck of the pot",即“锅里正巧有的食物”，指非特意准备的家常便饭。 potluck dinner/party的中文翻译为“百乐餐”，后衍生成客人自带食物的聚会。被意请的客人需自带一款亲自烹调的食物与大家一同分享，这样所有人既可以品尝到丰盛的美味，还能帮助主人减少花销和准备时间。由于这样的聚会方式既方便又省钱，因而成为美国一种大众化的请客方式。
2 Native Americans美洲土著居民
美洲士著居民，即印第安人，属蒙古人种美洲支系。他们使用印第安语，包括十几个语族。多数学者认为，美洲印第安人是在大约两三万年前分多批从西伯利亚经白令海峡到达阿拉斯加，逐步向南迁徒，一直抵达美洲最南端，散布于整个美洲。在哥伦布到达美洲时，印第安人人口众多，估计在2,000万到4,000万之间。从16世纪起，由于遭受欧洲殖民者的入侵和屠杀，印第安人人口急剧减少。其后缓慢回升，到21世纪初约有5,000万人。
印第安人对世界文化有特别显著的贡献。他们首先栽培了玉米、马铃薯、向日葵、木薯、可可、烟草等农作物。其次是对艺术的创造，特别是安第斯地区印第安人的艺术，表现出对生活的丰富想象力和细致的观察力。工艺品有木雕、编织、纺织、羽饰、刺绣和陶器等。独具一格的印第安艺术至今仍是现代美洲人民艺术发展的基础。

Make inferences
Sometimes things are not said directly. However, you can make logical guesses on the basis of what the speakers say To draw a conclusion, you need to understand the given information and use your background knowledge. Also, while Listening,don't ignore the speaker's tone and intonation-these can be important clues, too.
 
  EXAMPLE
A: What kind of person do you think Chen Liyan is?
B: I think she must be an honest person because...
A: I bet she's really determined too. You can tell this by how...
6 Work in groups of four. Discuss the following questions.
1 Do you agree with Chen Liyan? What would you do if you were in her situation?
2 When we help someone, should we expect to get something in retur?
3 What do you think is the best way to get money?
4 Should we judge people based on how much money they have?
EXAMPLE
A: I think that Chen Liyan did the right thing by returning the money and refusing to take a single cent from Wang Zheng.
B: Well, I think that Chen Liyan was correct in returning the money, but she should have accepted the money Wang offered.

Reading and Thinking
Read about a bet between two wealthy men
1 What would you do if you had a million-pound bank note? Discuss the question in pairs.
2 Read the scene and answer the questions.

1 The Million Pound Bank Note《百万英镑》
《百万英镑》是美国著名作家马克・吐温的一部短篇小说，讲述了一个因帆船失事而陷入困境的美国小伙子亨利・亚当斯在伦数的一次奇遇。伦敦的两位富家兄弟打賭，把一张百万大钞借给亨利，看他在一个月内能否生存。一个月的期限到了，亨利不仅没有饿死或被捕，反倒成了富翁，并且赢得了一位漂亮小姐的芳心。小说以略带夸张的艺术手法和默的语言，辛辣地讽刺了20世纪初英国社会的拜金主义思想。
马克·吐温(Mark Twain,1835-1910)的真实姓名是塞缪尔・兰霍恩・克菜门斯(Samuel Langhorne Clemens)。“马克・吐温”这个笔名原是密西西比河水手在航道上测量水的深度时所用的术语。马克吐温一生写了大量作品，其代表作有《百万英》《哈克贝利・费恩历险记》《汤姆・索亚历险记》等。
2 Money is a good servant and a bad master.金钱是善仆，也是恶主。
这是英国哲学家弗朗西斯・培根(Francis Bacon)的一句名言，它形象地阐明了金钱在人们生活中的作用，提醒人们要做金钱的主人而不是奴隶。
3 And it was the ship that brought you to England.是那条船把你带到了英国。
这是一个强调句，被强调的部分是 the ship。在英语中，我们常用 It is/as+被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+ that/who/whom+其他”的结构突出强调句子的某一成分。在这个句型中，it用来引出被强调的成分，没有实际意义。如果被强调的部分是人，可以用who、whom或that来连接。如果被强调的是事物，则一律用that来连接，并且that不能省略。如：
It was his devotion and contrbution that motivated me greatly.是他的付出和贡献极大地激励了我。
It is our parents and teachers that/whom we should be most grateful to.我们最该感恩的是我们的父母和老师。
It was from my chemisty teacher that I learnt how to watch carefully when doing experiments. 从我的化学老师那里，我学到了如何在做实验的过程中仔细观察。
4 I was about to go get the letter.我正想去拿信。
be about to表示即将发生的动作，在时间上指最近的将来，意思是“即将、正要做某事”。如：
Can I call you back later?We' re about to have dinner.我晚点再给你回电话好吗？我们马上要吃晚饭了。
在课文中，Oliver正想把信交给Henry,但是 Roderick先他一步提到了信，所以 Oliveri说“I was about to go get the letter."这里用了was而不是is,表示刚才他就打算这么做了，指的是过去的将来。下面的例句也是用 was about to表示过去的将来：
 I was just about to ask you the same thing.我刚才正要问你同一件事情。
We were just about to leave when Jerry amived.我们正要离开的时候，杰里来了。
【思考】你知道还有哪几种方式可以表示过去将来时态吗？在本单元中找一找！

3 Read these sentences and describe Henry's feelings using suitable adjectives.

4 Oh, this is silly.
Understand implied meaning
Some sentences have an implied meaning which is not clearly stated.This implied meaning often indicates people's feelings, attitudes, or motives.You can find this implied meaning by looking at the context. You have to read between the lines because the real messages are often hidden beneath the literal meaning.

Viewing and Talking
Describe people's changing attitudes in a film clip
1 You are going to watch part of the film The Million Pound Bank Note. Look at these photos and guess what happens in the film.

2 Watch the film clip and check if you are correct. Then discuss the questions.
1 Why does the owner of the restaurant want Henry to sit somewhere else?
2 What does Henry order? Why is the waiter surprised?
3 Why does the owner think Henry hesitates to pay the bill?
4 Why does the owner think the bank note is probably real?
5 What happens in the end?
3 Work in groups. Retell the story in the film clip you have just watched. The pictures in Activity 1 may help you.

4 Watch the film clip again and make up your own script to match it. Then watch the film without sound and act out your script for the class.
Reading for Writing
Write a dramatic scene
1 Read the scene and answer the questions.

1 Where does Henry go? What does he want?
2 What do the clerks show Henry at first? Why?
3 What makes the people in the store change their attitudes towards Henry?
4 Why would the owner be willing to wait for a long time to get paid?
5 Is it right to judge people by their clothes? Why or why not?
1 I remember thinking that never would I hold such a note as this...记得当时我以为我(手里)永远不会握着这样一张钞票……
这句话中包含一个宾语从句 that never would I hold such a note as this,该从句是一个倒装句，正常的语序为I woud never hold such a note as this。
倒装是一种语法手段，用于特定的句子结构或强调某一句子成分。英语的基本结构是主、谓结构，倒装就是将这种比较因定的词序加以颠倒。否定词或词组放在句首时常用倒装。如：
He was not wrapped in grief. Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of e he had always dreamt about.他没有沉浸在悲伤中，疾病也没能阻止他追求梦想的生活。
Down came the rain and up went the umbrellas.下雨了，伞都撑起来了。
By the window sat a young lady with a magazine in her hand.窗边坐着一位年轻女士，手里拿着一本杂志。
2 Go get the others,Todd!特德，快去取别的衣服过来！
这句话相当于“ Go to get the others,Todd!"或者" Go and get the others,Todd!”口语中经常会有这种非正式的用法。
戏剧为对话体，所以剧本中使用了较多具有口语特征的结构。英语的语体类型通常包括书面形式(written form)和口语形式(spoken form)。书面表达较为正式，句子结构完整，而口语表达较随意，且多用省略句，语句简短，如： See him there. Your address,sir? Ready-made suits? Downstairs.This way,please.
【思考】你还能在课文中找到其他类似的句子吗？
3 I dare not buy all these things.我不敢买这么多东西。
dare既可用作情态动词，又可用作实义动词。用作情态动词时，dare只有一种形式，即后接动词原形，且主要用于否定句和疑问句。如：
We' d dare not give you money.我们不敢把钱给你。
I'm so afraid that I dare not move.我吓得一动也不敢动。
How dare you speak to me like that?你怎么敢这么和我说话？
作实义动词时，dare有动词的全部形式，可用于各种句式。如：
After receiving training for some time, she dared to sing in front of her class.接受了一段时间的训练后，她敢在全班同学面前唱歌了。
I didn' t dare to tell her the truth.我不敢告诉她真相。
He won't dare to break his promise.他不敢违背自己的诺言。
4 play戏剧
play即“剧本；戏剧”，是写出来让演员在舞台上表演的故事，并且通常有舞合说明来描绘人物的外表和行为。剧本主要由剧中人物的对话、独白、旁白和舞台指示等组成。戏剧基本要素的英文表达如下：
title of play剧名
scene场
characters人物(一般可分为主角和配角)
lines of dialogue台词(剧本的主要构成元素)
narration旁白；解说
stage directions舞合指示(剧本中关于演员上下场、表演动作等的说明)
