1An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.乐观者等至深夜，为的是看到新的一年。悲观主义者等着，只为送别旧岁。2The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul.我们过新年的目的并不是为了迎接新的一年，而是迎接一个全新的自我。 3May your happiness last forever and your holidays last forever.愿你幸福永驻，假期长存。4Feeling the relentless passage of time, my heart gives birth to new hope. Let's embrace the New Year and go to the future!感受岁月无情流逝，心中又升腾起新的希望。让我们拥抱新年，共赴未来！5The breeze sent my blessings, and the bright moon brought my greetings.清风送去了我的祝福，明月带来了我的问候。6In this brilliant and happy Spring festival, I wish you all the best!在这辉煌快乐的新春佳节，祝您一切顺心如意！THE VALUE OF TIMETo realize the value of one year：Ask a student who has failed a final exam.To realize the value of one month：Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.To realize the value of one week：Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.To realize the value of one hour：Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.To realize the value of one minute：Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.To realize the value of one second：Ask a person who has survived an accident.To realize the value of one millisecond：Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.Time waits for no one.Treasure every moment you have.February has long been a month of romance.With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner，buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose! This is what you see on Valentine's Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome.When the emperor (皇帝) thought that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn't allow marriage.But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard.Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed“From your Valentine”， an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history's most romantic characters.Nowadays, Valentine's Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine's cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart­shaped cakes.The significane of the holiday is to have fun and encourage people to share the spirit of St. Valentine.探索发现1Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.2Valentine was put into prison because he didn't obey the emperor's order3The best title for this passage should be Valentine's Day.Section Listening and Speaking & Reading and

celebrated all around the world.They have a wide range of origins，such as the seasons of the year，religions，famous figures，and important events.Every festival has its different customs and unique charms.However，1no matter how different they may seem，all over the world，the spirit of sharing joy，gratitude，love，or peace is common in all festivals.Of all the traditional festivals，the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture.This important agricultural festival takes place2after all the crops have been gathered in.People celebrate to show 3 that they are grateful for the year's supply of food.In ancient Egypt，the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtimethe Egyptian harvest season.It featured a parade and a great feast with music，dancing，and sports.Today，in some European countries，people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit，and get together to celebrate4 over a meal.During the Mid­Autumn Festival in China，families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.Customs play a significant role in festivals，5 but sometimes they can change over time.With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away and others may be established.One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year.Nowadays，many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution.Another example is Halloween，6which slowly became an exciting festival for children，in spite of its religious origins.Festivals are becoming more and more commercial，7with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations.Online shopping websites and social media apps have made8 it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their9loved ones.10Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised，others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.Festivals are an important part of society.They reflect people's wishes，beliefs，faiths，and attitudes towards life.They are occasions 11 that allow us to relax and enjoy life，and forget about our work for a little while.They help us understand 12where we came from，who we are，and 13what to appreciate.And14 if you study festivals carefully，you may be surprised to find 15that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all.译文参考我们为什么庆祝节日？全世界都在庆祝各种节日。它们有各种各样的起源，例如一年中的各个季节，各种宗教，著名人物和一些重大事件等。每个节日都有其不同的习俗和独特的迷人的特征。然而，在全世界所有的节日中，不管它们看起来是多么的不同，但共享喜悦，感恩，爱与和平的精神是一致的。在所有的传统节日中，庆祝收获的节日几乎在每个文化中都能找到。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。人们举行庆祝活动是为了表明他们对土地供应一年食物的感激。在古埃及，收获的节日通常在春季举行，春季是埃及人的收获季节。它通常是以游行和一场由音乐、舞蹈和运动(组成)的伟大盛宴为特色。今天，在一些欧洲国家，人们用鲜花和水果装饰教堂和市政大厅然后聚在一起，一边吃饭一边庆祝。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。习俗在节日中起着重要的作用，但是有时他们也会随着时间而变化。随着现代社会的发展和新思想的传播，有些传统会逐渐消失而另外一些也会慢慢建立。为了驱逐恶鬼和庆祝新年，中国人在春节燃放鞭炮的习俗就是一个典型的例子。为了避免空气污染现在很多大城市已经放弃了这个习俗。另一个例子是万圣节，它慢慢地变成了一个让孩子们很兴奋的节日而尽管它起源于宗教。随着各种生意对庆祝活动的利用，节日也变得越来越商业化了。网上购物的网址和社交媒体软件的应用让公众很容易花更多的钱为所爱的人买礼物。虽然有些人相信节日不应该被商业化；而另一些人则相信，消费的增加对经济的发展和公众的幸福都是有好处的。节日是社会的一个重要部分。它们反映了人们的希望，信心，宗教信仰和对生活的态度。它们也是一些让我们放松下来，享受生活和暂时忘记工作的机会。它们帮助我们了解我们从哪里来，我们是谁，我们喜欢什么(这些问题)。如果你仔细研究一下各种节日，你也许会吃惊地发现：事实上不同的文化之间竟然会有许多相同之处。速读课文，完成下列任务.阅读判断判断以下句子提供的信息是正确，错误，还是没提及。1The
