Maybe you can recognize (认出) your own fridge here! Ellie 24 埃莉 24 岁 Junior doctor (实习医生) There’s not enough room to swing a cat (没有足够的空间转身) in my small apartment (公寓), so I don’t cook very often. My fridge is usually half empty (空的) and I’m often too tired to eat much anyway. I often end up saving part of my meal for the next day(把一部分饭菜留到第二天 吃). Some evenings, I’ll just have something quick(吃速食), like toast, or even just a yoghurt with honey(酸奶配蜂蜜). As a doctor(作为医生), I know I had better change (最好改变) the way I eat, but I just don’t have the time or the energy (精力) right now. Jenny 31 珍妮 31 岁 Teacher 教师 My husband and I avoid (避免) all products that come from animals(动物制品). This means (意味着) we don’t eat meat, and any milk or cheese had better be dairy-free(不含乳制品的).

Cooking (cook) together gives us a chance to relax (放松的机会) and catch up on each other’s days(聊聊彼此日常的情况).

Ted 35 特德 35 岁 Construction worker (建筑工人) Each day at the construction site (建筑 工地 ) is more or less (或多 或少 ，差不 多) the same—tiring (tire)! When I get back home(回家), there’s nothing more satisfying (satisfy) than a big meat dinner. I guess I’ve always been a big meat eater and in this house, no family meal is complete (完全的) without some form (形式) of meat. I still don’t think that anything can beat (打 败) my mum’s homemade sausages(自制的香肠), though(然而) . Mike 49 迈克 49 岁 Chef (厨师 ) With five children, we’re one big family! My wife and I both work full-time (全职工作), so life can get pretty busy! Like (像) a lot of chefs I know, I don’t really do much cooking at home.

B2U2 Passage 1 Task 1:Test Every Christmas, Tolkien’s children would get an envelope, inside ________ there was a handwritten letter from Father Christmas. These letters from Father Christmas were indeed written by Tolkien, one of the most famous ________ (name) in English literature. In this way, Tolkien ________ (keep) Father Christmas alive for his four children. The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas’s life and adventures at the North Pole with ________ regular character, Polar Bear. In a letter, Father Christmas ____________ (complain) about his helpers who played games with the toys instead of ________ (wrap) them up. ________________ (interesting), Tolkien didn’t warn his children that they might not receive presents ________ they were not good. The letters did, however, change as his children got ________ (old). From these letters, we can share the true spirit of giving at Christmas time. Tolkien’s love and care ________ his children made him very like Father Christmas. Task2 :Gap filling The Real Father Christmas Many people still remember the magic ( 魔 力 ) of Father Christmas from when they were children. As parents, they try to keep that magic alive (live) for their children for as long as they can. That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who regard Christmas as a special time of year(把圣诞节看作是每年的特别时光). The man who wrote these letters is one of the most famous names in English literature (文学)—J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings(《指环王（魔戒）》). The letters were Tolkien’s way of keeping (keep) Father Christmas alive for his four children, over a period of more than twenty years. Every Christmas, an envelope (信封) with a North Pole stamp arrived. It was addressed to (寄 给) Tolkien’s children. Who could it be from? The children must have been very excited as they opened it. Inside, they would find a handwritten letter ( 亲 笔 信 ) from Father Christmas. The letters were also beautifully illustrated (配有精美的插图)—each must have taken its true author, Tolkien, a long time to complete (complete). The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas’s life and adventures (冒险) at the North Pole. A regular character ( 经 常 出 现 的 任 务 ) in the letters was Polar Bear, who once climbed the North Pole (an actual pole in this case) and fell through the roof of Father Christmas’s house. In another letter, Father Christmas complained about (抱怨) how he could not stop his helpers playing (play) games with the toys instead of wrapping them up( 把 他 们 包 装 起 来 ). Interestingly (interest), the letters did not contain (包括) the usual warnings (警告) to children that they might not receive their presents if they were not good. The letters did, however, change as Tolkien’s children got older: ... but if you find that not many of the things you asked for (你要 的东西) have come, and not perhaps quite as many as sometimes, remember that this Christmas all over the world there are a terrible number of poor and starving people(饥饿的人们). Letters from Father Christmas tells us that as well as (除了) enjoying the adventures of Father Christmas, Polar Bear and other characters at the North Pole, we can all share the true spirit of giving (真正的奉献精神) at Christmas time. By expressing (express) love for his children in such a special way, Tolkien may indeed (的确) have been the real Father Christmas. B2U2 Passage 2 Task 1: Test We ____________ (eat) out for the Spring Festival family dinner for the last three years, and we have enjoyed it no ________ (little) than eating at home. I don’t understand why some people refuse ___________ (embrace) the change. Can’t they admit that the ____________ (prepare) for the dinner are hard work? I really don’t think it’s worth the effort of spending so much time preparing for a single meal, and then another hour ____________ (clean) up the mess after it’s over. We work all year, so why can’t one day be about spending time with family and relaxing? Eating out is a good choice and it has nothing to do ________ loss of traditions. We still have the dinner with the same people, just in a different place. The occasion is more enjoyable without all that ________ (tired) cooking, and the dishes taste better! In my opinion, what or where we eat on Spring Festival Eve ________ (real) doesn’t matter. Eating out may change the form of this tradition, ________the love between the family members sitting around the table together remains the same. Task 2: Gap filling Time for a Change? Social Insights (社会见解) A family dinner ( 家 宴 / 年 夜 饭 ) is an important tradition to celebrate (celebrate) Spring Festival. Nowadays, some people choose to have the dinner in a restaurant, but not everyone is keen on this idea(不是每个人都支持这个想法). What do our readers think? Dear Editor(编辑), We have eaten out (eat out) for the Spring Festival family dinner for the last three years, and we have enjoyed it no less than eating at home. I don’t understand why some people refuse to embrace the change(接受改变). Can’t they admit that the preparations (prepare) for the dinner are hard work? I really don’t think it’s worth the effort (精力) of spending so much time preparing for a single meal, and then another hour cleaning up the mess (收拾残局;收拾干净) after it’s over. We work all year, so why can’t one day be about spending time with family and relaxing (relax)? Eating (eat) out is a good choice and it has nothing to do with loss of traditions(和丢弃传统 无关). We still have the dinner with the same people, just in a different place. The occasion (场合) is more enjoyable (enjoy) without all that tiring (tire) cooking, and the dishes taste better! In my opinion, what or where we eat on Spring Festival Eve really doesn’t matter. Eating out may change the form of this tradition( 这 种 传 统 的 形 式 ), but the love between the family members sitting around the table together remains (仍然是) the same. Wang Peng, software engineer(软件工程师)
