第二册第三单元Part I WritingThe Prevalence of Western HolidaysDue to the heavy influence of western cultures, more and more modern Chinese people prefer western holidays to traditional ones. When Christmas or Valentine Day comes, youngsters flood into bars, restaurants, and department stores to celebrate these festivals which their ancestors know little about.The reason behind this social phenomenon is obvious: in a society dominated by mass media and consumerism, festivals and holidays from abroad are labeled as “fashionable and new”, while traditional ones as something “out of date or old”. Young people all over the world have regarded western life style depicted in Hollywood films as their ultimate goal of life. Therefore, its no wonder that Chinese young people love Christmas much more than Spring Festival.The influence of such a social phenomenon should be carefully studied. In my opinion, the widespread and recognition of western holidays will definitely harm our traditional value. If we dont take some measures, in years to come, Chinese cultural heritage may be alien to our offspring. Its high time that the government took some action.Part II Reading Comprehension1-7.C D D B D C A 8.bad manners 9.use a knife 10.adjust toPart III Listening Comprehension (omitted)Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)46-51.
