However, the traditions shouldn't be abandoned since traditional culture, as a kind of social spirit, is a reflection of social existence. It is a great spiritual force, which has a long-term effect on society. Therefore, it is important to preserve and inherit it.As far as I am concerned, some effective measures should be taken. To start with, we should attach importance to celebrating Chinese traditional festivals. We can encourage people to learn about the real meaning of those festivals and keep up the traditional practices during the celebration. What's more, we are supposed to employ new technology properly to help our traditions keep up with times. For example, we can set up websites to introduce traditional festivals and culture, which can raise people's interest in them. In addition, it is also important to advocate people learning, inheriting, developing and spreading traditional Chinese culture such as various Chinese operas, Chinese folk arts, Chinese Kung Fu etc.In a word, it is high time that we treasured and developed our valuable traditional culture. Let's join our hands and take action immediately. Everyone's efforts count!第二节读后续写Para. 1:As I continued walking, I began to feel a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots, while Mum was probably home in tears, thinking of ways to explain why there were no presents. How was I supposed to be happy if everyone else in the family was not? Thinking of this, the idea of buying the beautiful boots I had wanted for so long didn't seem as fascinating as before. As I arrived at the bus stop, the driver opened the door, waiting for me to get on. I stood there for what seemed like a century, until eventually the driver asked, “Son, are you getting on this bus or not? I finally burst out without hesitation, "No thanks, sir. Fve changed my mind.” Para. 2:The bus drove off without me, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, I knew what I had to do next. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. Into the store I went, brimming with happiness and excitement. I bought a turkey, ham, oranges and all the Christmas decorations. I spent every coin of my hard-earned money. Once I arrived home with all those purchases, I knocked on the door. I could hardly wait to see my mother's face! When Mum opened the door, some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor, and she just stood there, too stunned to speak. Holding back the tears, I exclaimed, “Merry Christmas, Mother! There really is a Santa Claus!” To see my mother's prayers answered more than made up for the boots I never got. It was a Merry Christmas for us after all!录音原文Text 1M: Hi, have you finished your lesson?W: Not yet. Is there something wrong?M: Well, I want to catch the last bus home, but I need to lock the doors on this floor before I leave, so .Text 2W: He chose a terrible location for his new bar.

Do you think it will be a success?M: Oh, yes. The guys and I have been working on this show for the last three months.Text 6W: Shall we go to watch the volleyball game tonight?M: Yes, but which teams are playing?W: China National Team against the Russian Team.M: If I remember correctly, the two teams have played with each other quite often before in international games.W: You're right, and I have noticed that the scores have been very close, although our team was often beaten.M: I bet they'll have another close match tonight.Text 7W: I'm sorry, your laundry hasn't come back yet.M: But I brought it in half a month ago.W: I know, but there's been a problem at the factory and everything's delayed.M: Well, I trust my suit is ready.

How much is it?W: Ten dollars.M: Ten dollars? For that? No way, you can't expect me to pay that much.Text 8M: Do you think it is necessary for me to prepare some topics to talk about at English Corner?W: Yes, because it is the first time that you have been going there. You should prepare something in case you are too nervous. But after three or four times, you won't have to do that anymore.M: Why not?W: If you prepare some topics in advance, your conversation at the corner will always be limited by the sentences you have prepared. If someone asks you a question outside of them, you'll have nothing to say. So remember not to become too dependent on what you've prepared.M: What if I can't understand people's questions?W: That happens to everyone at English Corner. So don't worry. You can always ask them to repeat the question.M: Won't it be embarrassing if I still can't understand?W: It'll be OK. If it happens, the person will try to explain the question to you in another way.Text 9M: When you are in a restaurant and you want the waiter to bring you the bill, what do you do to attract his attention? W: I just make eye-contact with him and nod my head. Then I ask him when he comes to the table. Why do you ask? M: I went out with my friends to a nice restaurant last night. I noticed that many people shouted for the bill.W: That seems a little impolite for such a fancy restaurant.M: That's what I thought. Anyway, what did you do yesterday evening?W: Well, it was warm, so I went outside. I walked along the river for a couple of miles. Actually, quite a few other people had the same idea. I ran into Jack there.M: You did? How is he these days?W: He seemed okay. We didn't stop and chat because we were on opposite banks of the river. We just waved at each other.Text 10It was the first day of our two-week family vacation to Europe.

She wears the same school uniform-a grey skirt and a green sweater. However, she is more than 80 years older than them. Priscilla Sitienei, who turned 99-years-old on February 11, said she went back to class to set a good example for her greatgrandchildren and to start a new career. "I'd like to become a doctor because I used to be a midwife （助产土）“ she said, adding that her children were supportive-of her decision.Back in 2003, the government of the East African country began an education campaign to help to pay for the cost of primary schooling, allowing some older members of society who had missed out on education in their younger days to continue their dreams. This has given Sitienei more than an education. She's also become a film star. She traveled to Paris last year for the first showing of a film about her journey titled “Gogo"，which means “grandmother” in her native Kalenjin language. She'll also be heading to New York City soon for the launch of the film there.Sitienei, who is in her sixth year of primary school, said her
