Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years. Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks. The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year's crop before the September rains. On the right, you can see Mrs. Brabante herself. She has been helping her husband for thirty years now. Mrs. Brabante is talking to the manager of the local factory where the crop is processed. This last scene shows you what will happen at the end of the harvest: the famous Calabrian macaroni-eating competition! Signor Fratelli, the present champion, has won it every year since 1991. And that ends our special bulletin for today, Thursday, April lst. We're now going back to the studio.'【课文翻译】“作为我们专题新闻节目的结尾，电视播送员说，“我们现在到克拉布利亚的通心粉田里。通心粉在这个地区已经种植了600多年了。两个主要种植者，朱塞皮.莫尔道瓦与里卡多.布拉班特告诉我，他们一直期待着今年获得一个大丰收，收割工作比往年开场要早些。这里您可以看到两个工人，他们协力割下了3车金黄色的通心粉秸。全村的人都日夜奋战，要赶在9月的雨季之前把今年的庄稼收获上来，打完场。在屏幕的右侧，您可以看到布拉班特太太本人，她已经帮了她的丈夫30年了。布拉班特太太现在正与负责通心粉加工的当地加工厂的经理交谈。这最后一个镜头向您展示了收获之后将发生的事情：著名的克拉布利亚人吃通心粉大赛！目前的冠军弗拉特里先生，自1991年以来，年年获胜。今天 - 4月1日，星期四-的专题新闻节目到此完毕。现在我们回到电视演播室。【生词汇总】fool n. 傻瓜bulletin n. 新闻简报announcer n. 电视、之声播音员macaroni n. 通心面，空心面条leading adj. 主要的grower n. 种植者splendid adj. 极好的stalk n. 梗gather v. 收庄稼thresh v. 打庄稼process v. 加工Signor n. 意大利语先生present adj. 目前的champion n. 冠军studio n. 播音室【单词讲解】1. fool  n 傻瓜；受骗者   v 欺骗；开玩笑；戏弄April fool   愚人节中受愚弄者     act /play the fool   扮丑角A fool and his money are soon parted.笨蛋难聚财。除了作名词，fool也可以作动词用。make a fool of sb. 愚弄某人，欺骗某人    fool about   游手好闲，干蠢事   fool away  浪费，虚度他总是以愚弄他人为乐。He always taking a delight in making a fool of others.2. bulletin  n公报，公告  v发表，用公告通知Bulletin Board System 电子布告栏，也即我们常说的BBS。  official bulletin  正式公报，官方公报weather bulletin  气象通报              results bulletin  成绩公告      n. 主持人；机场车站播送员presenter ;  host那个播送播音员告诉我他之所以得到那份工作是因为老板非常喜欢他那有磁性的嗓音。The radio announcer told me that he got his job because his boss really liked his strong voice.    adj.   (无比拟级、最高级)1)一流的,卓越的a leading university一流大学the leading countries of Europe (在经济、军事方面) 欧洲一些先进国家2) 主要的; 主角的,主演的play the leading part role担任主角由于选择不安康食品，在北美心脏病是主要死亡原因。Due to unhealthy food choices, the leading cause of death in North America is heart disease.1gather sth (together/up) 收拢，归拢2认为，猜测；推断；理解我从心中了解到你并不喜欢你的工作I gather from your letter that youre not enjoying your job   n. & v.1) n. 过程；进程我们正在出售自家的住宅.Were in the process of selling our house.2) n. 工艺流程；工序manufacturing processes3) v. 加工；处理我们买的大局部食品都用某种方法加工过。Most of the food we buy is processed in some way   Adj.1). 当前的在当前形势/情况下in the present situation/case目前我们没有进一步消息We do not have any more information at the present time2) 出席 present at只有少数人出席会议Only a few people were present at the meeting.present  n.for the present 目前; 眼前,暂且up to the present至今,到目前为止at present = new现在,目前你必须忘掉过去，开场现在的生活。Youve got to forget the past and start living in the present.很抱歉他这会儿不在。Im sorry hes out at present【课文讲解】1.we're going over to the macaroni fields of Calabria.1go over 有很多种意思，比方检查、复习、重做、越过、转向等等。在上面这个句子中go over(to)表示从较远的一处到另一处。go over big  大受欢送  go over the wall  越狱   go over the ground  调查事实，检查情况我走到那个盲人身边，帮他过马路。 I went over to the blind man to help him across the road.2field指“一块田、“块，为可数名词，常用复数： Many people are busy harvesting in the rice fields. 稻田里许多人正忙着收割。field  (活动、研究的) 领域,范围ofthe field of medicine医学的领域,医学界be outside out of one's field在某人的本行外Many scientists are working in this field.许多科学家正从事这领域方面的研究2.Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks.between作介词时含义之一是“作为共同努力的结果，协力：他们一起杀死了那条蛇。Between them they killed the snake.我们协力把树拉倒了。Between us we pulled down the tree.Between and Among1between      prep. 在两者之间我用两根黏糊糊的手指拿起了话筒。I picked up the receiver between two sticky finger.你能分辨出印度音乐与爵士乐吗？Can you tell the difference between Indian music and jazz当表示两两之间的相互关系时，between可用于3个或3个以上的名词前：The village lies between a river, a mountain and a road.2among        prep. 在中间，被环绕指三者以上教堂位于群山之中。The church lies among mountains.Among those boys, Dan is the tallest.3.The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year's crop before the September rains.rain n. 当rain指“雨季、“季节性的雨，尤其是热带地区的雨季时，要用复数形式：the September rains  9月雨季有时绵绵春雨真让人心烦意乱。Sometimes spring rains are really annoying.4.harvesting has begun earlier than usual1usual通常为形容词，表示“通常的、“平常的、“惯常的等：It was warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual.as usual“像平常一样、“照例既可以作定语，又可以作表语I parked the car at the usual place.我在往常那个地方停了车。2usually    频率副词，表示“平常、“通常：He usually gets up late.他通常起得晚。When do you usually have supper课堂检测一【英语思维训练】根据英文解释写出单词。 1. someone who proclaims(公布，正式申明) a message publicly       2. brilliant; perfect; great    3. collect       4. a brief report (especially an official statement)          5. now      6. someone who has won first place in a competition    二. 现在完成时与现在完成进展时的练习题A.    Correct the following sentences. 改错1.
