Christmas TraditionsThere are many ways to celebrate Christmas, and some British people like to go on holiday, go out for lunch to a restaurant, or spend the day with friends. But most peoples idea of a traditional Christmas involves spending a few days with their family - sometimes their extended family. The day is the most exciting for the children. They may have spent weeks or even months dreaming of the presents they want most. Since the beginning of December, they may have opened their advent calendars, finding a new festive picture, chocolate, or small gift, to count down each day until 25th December. On Christmas Eve, they hang up stockings, ready to be filled with presents by Santa Claus. Often a thank you gift of a mince pie and a glass of sherry will be left, as well as a carrot for those hungry reindeer.Christmas Day itself will be spent eating lots of goodies, opening presents from loved ones, which have been waiting under the Christmas tree, and for most adults, drinking plenty of booze. A Christmas lunch of roast turkey with all the trimmings is the main event, complete with crackers, and paper party hats. The meal will finish off with Christmas pudding, a steamed fruit pudding. For some, a church service, or the Queens speech on television will be part of the family custom. For most, the afternoon and evening will be spent playing board games, or perhaps watching a family film on TV. After the excitement of the big day, most families are happy to spend Boxing Day quietly enjoying their presents, and eating the Christmas leftovers, for example a turkey curry. Then we can all forget about Christmas until next year well until next September.题目：1.Most peoples idea of a traditional Christmas involves: 文本： A)go on holidayB)go to a restaurant for lunchC)spend the day with friendsD)spend a few days with their family你的答案: D 正确答案:D得分:15.00 题目：2.On Christmas Eve, what do children hang up to receive presents from Santa Claus? 文本： A)Christmas treesB)StockingsC)Small boxesD)Shoes你的答案: B 正确答案:B得分:15.00 题目：3.On Christmas Day, for most adults,what do they usually drink? 文本： A)boozeB)waterC)drinks without alcoholD)milk你的答案: A 正确答案:A得分:15.00 题目：4.What is NOT the typical food for the Christmas lunch? 文本： A)roast turkeyB)Christmas puddingC)steamed fruit puddingD)Ice-creams你的答案: D 正确答案:D得分:15.00 2.Passage two exercise: Direction: Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true or false, write T for true and F for false.

Have Students Been Tricked?1st April is a day to be careful, or you could easily get tricked by someone. Its April Fools Day, a day when people traditionally like to try to make a fool of someone else and laugh at them. There are lots of theories surrounding the origins of the day, but one explanation is connected with the change in the calendar in the 16th century, which meant that 1st April was no longer the beginning of the year. Those who still celebrated the New Year on 1st April were called fools. So what kind of pranks do people play on April Fools Day? Well, there are lots of simple tricks that you can play on your friends. For example, you could wear a black sweater and pull a piece of white thread through it, so that people try to pull it off. You could change the time on someones alarm clock so that theyre late for work. Or glue a coin to the floor and see how many people try to pick it up.All these are small-scale practical jokes which you might play on one other person or a few people. But theres also a tradition of large companies attempting to fool a lot of people. For example a burger restaurant once claimed that they were introducing a left-handed burger! In particular, the media often try to make people believe something which is not true. Newspapers publish some ludicrous stories every year, although some of them are actually true. Its entertaining to try to guess which stories are true and which are fake. In the April Fools stories, they often include a clue to the fact that its a joke. For example the name of an expert quoted in the article might be an anagram of April Fool. Radio and television programs have often fooled many people by broadcasting reports which are untrue. One program announced the invention of an amazing new weight-loss product - water which contained minus calories! And one of the most famous hoaxes ever was broadcast by the BBC itself in 1957! A very serious news program called Panorama reported on the poor spaghetti harvest in Switzerland, and showed pictures of farmers picking spaghetti from trees! Hundreds of people were taken in and wrote to the BBC asking how to grow their own spaghetti.题目：1.In the 16th century, 1st January was the beginning of the year. 文本： 你的答案: F 正确答案:F得分:6.00 题目：2.Actually in western countries, very few people play jokes on April Fools Day. 文本： 你的答案: F 正确答案:F得分:6.00 题目：3.Theres also a tradition of large companies attempting to fool a lot of people on April Fools Day. 文本： 你的答案: T 正确答案:T得分:6.00 题目：4.The media never tries to make people believe something which is not true. 文本： 你的答案: F 正确答案:F得分:6.00 题目：5.Radio and television programs have also fooled many people by broadcasting reports which are untrue. 文本： 你的答案: T 正确答案:T得分:6.00 2.Exercise 2: Focus-listening: Direction: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the missing information There are lots of 1. surrounding the origins of the day, but one explanation is connected with the change in the 2. in the 16th century, which meant that 1st April was no longer the beginning of the year.

The origins of the celebration are American and it was inspired by the actions of a man named William Smart. He was a veteran of the US Civil War and his wife died giving birth to their sixth child. He raised six children alone without remarrying, which was undoubtedly unusual back in those days. His daughter, Sonora Dodd, realized when she was an adult what her father had sacrificed for his children. It was in the early 1900s and she was actually at church one day, listening to a sermon on Mothers Day. She thought there should also be a Fathers Day celebration. And so the tradition was born, on the third Sunday every June, close to the anniversary of Sonoras fathers death. Britain took the idea of Fathers Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated officially since the 1970s. Fathers Day is never quite such the big commercial event that Mothers Day is, probably because it hasnt been in existence for so long. But what do British people do for Fathers Day? Well, most people would buy their fathers a card. The card would probably have a nice message in it saying what a great Dad their father is. Some people do buy presents as well. Popular gifts for Dads are probably ties, chocolates or socks because these are things that Dads can always use even if they dont want them. In the run-up to Fathers Day, or indeed Mothers Day, there will be adverts on the TV giving us ideas of CDs or gadgets we can buy. Card shops will be full of mugs or pens and similar merchandise with Worlds Greatest Dad written on them. Some families might do things together to celebrate Fathers Day like going for a meal. As a special treat, British people might give their Dad a bit of a rest- make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car and mow the lawn to make him feel really appreciated.题目：1.Which one has been a very popular and well celebrated festival in the UK for a very long time, Fathers Day or Mothers Day? _ 文本： 你的答案: Mothers Day 正确答案:Mothers Day得分:20.00 题目：2.Which day is Fathers Day?

Christmas is the biggest festival in Britain and is celebrated on 25th December. The four weeks before Christmas are called Advent, and are traditionally celebrated in churches by lighting a candle each Sunday during Advent. Nowadays, many people in Britain are not very religious, but they still celebrate Christmas. But watch out - the preparations begin long before Advent. In fact as early as September or October, you start to see signs that Christmas is on the way. The first pla
