Unit 1 同步拓展阅读（原卷版）

Unit1FestivalsandCelebrations本单元的中心话题是“节日”，属于“人与社会”的主题语境。这个永恒的节日话题为所有学生熟悉，因为它来自于人们的生活，大部分对此相当感兴趣。节日是生活中值得纪念的重要日子。各民族和地区都有自己的节日。一些节日源于传统习俗，如中国的春节、中秋节、清明节、重阳节等。有的节日源于宗教，比如基督教国家的圣诞节。有的节日源于对某人或某件事件的纪念，比如中国的端午节、国庆节、青年节等等。另有国际组织提倡的运动指定的日子，如劳动节、妇女节、母亲节。随着时间推移，节日的内涵和庆祝方式也在发生着变化。当今社会中，一些传统的中国节日重新得到了公众的重视，一些西方节日在中国也逐步为大家所熟悉。中国农历节日SpringFestival：春节(农历正月初一)LanternFestival：元宵节(农历正月十五)Dragon-BoatFestival：端午节(农历五月初五)Double-SeventhDay：七夕(农历七月初七)Mid-AutumnFestival：中秋节(农历八月十五)DoubleNinthFestival：重阳节(农历九月初九)thelabaRicePorridgeFestival：腊八节(农历腊月初八)中国及世界阳历节日NewYear'sDay：元旦（1月1日）Valentine'sDay：情人节(2月14日)InternationalWomen'Day：国际妇女节(3月8日)ChinaArborDay：中国植树节(3月12日)WhiteDay：白色情人节3月14日()AprilFools'Day：愚人节(4月1日)Tomb-sweepingDay：清明节（4月5日)InternationalLabourDay：国际劳动节(5月1日)ChineseYouthDay：中国青年节（5月4日)WorldRed-CrossDay：世界红十字日(5月8日)InternationalNurseDay：国际护士节(5月12日)InternationalFamilyDay：国际家庭日(5月15日)WorldTelecommunicationsDay：世界电信日(5月17日)NationalStudentsNutritionDay：全国学生营养日（5月20日）InternationalMilkDay：国际牛奶日5月23日()WorldNo-SmokingDay：世界无烟日(5月31日)InternationalChildren'sDay：国际儿童节(6月1日)InternationalEnvironmentDay：世界环境日(6月5日)NationalEyeHealthDay：全国爱眼日（6月6日）WorldDaytocombatdesertification：世界防治荒漠化和干旱日(6月17日)InternationalOlympicDay：国际奥林匹克日(6月23日)NationalEarthDay：全国土地日（6月25日）InternationalDayAgainstDrugAbuseandIllicitTrafficking：国际禁毒日(6月26日)AnniversaryoftheFoundingoftheChineseCommunistParty：中国共产党建党节（7月1日）InternationalArchitectureDay：国际建筑日（7月1日）ChinesePeopleSino-JapaneseWarCommemorationDay：中国人民抗日战争纪念日（7月7日）WorldPopulationDay：世界人口日(7月11日)ArmyDay：中国人民解放军建军节(8月1日)InternationalYouthDay：国际青年节(8月12日)InternationalAnti-illiteracyDay：国际扫盲日(9月8日)Teacher'sDay：教师节(9月10日)ChineseBrainHealthyDate：中国脑健康日（9月16日）Loveyourteethday：全国爱牙日（9月20日）WorldCease-fireDay：世界停火日(9月21日)WorldTourismDay：世界旅游日(9月27日)NationalDay：国庆节(10月1日)InternationalMusicDay：国际音乐日(10月1日)InternationalDayofOlderPersons：国际老年人日(10月1日)WorldAnimalDay：世界动物日(10月4日)WorldTeachers'Day：世界教师日(10月5日)WorldPostDay：世界邮政日(10月9日)WorldMentalHealthDay：世界精神卫生日(10月10日)WorldStandardsDay：世界标准日(10月14日)InternationalDayoftheBlind：国际盲人节(10月15日)WorldRuralWomen'sDay：世界农村妇女日(10月15日)WorldFoodDay：世界粮食日(10月16日)InternationalDayfortheEradicationofPoverty：国际消除贫困日(10月17日)UnitedNationsDay：联合国日(10月24日)WorldDevelopmentInformationDay：世界发展新闻日(10月24日)InternationalBiodiversityDay：国际生物多样性日(10月29日)ChineseJournalists'Day：中国记者节（11月8日）FirePublicityDay：消防宣传日（11月9日）WorldDiabetesDay：世界糖尿病日(11月14日)InternationalStudents'Day：国际大学生节（11月17日）InternationalDayFortheeliminationofViolenceagainstWomen：国际消除对妇女的暴力日(11月25日)WorldDisabledDay：世界残疾人日(12月3日）NationalLegalSystemPublicityDay：全国法制宣传日（12月4日）WorldFootballDay：世界足球日（12月9日)InternationalBiologicalDiversityDay：国际生物多样性日(12月29日)无确定日期的节日WorldLeprosyDay：国际麻风节（1月最后一个星期日）Mother'sDay：母亲节(5月第二个星期日)Nationaldisabilityday：全国助残日（5月第三个星期日）Father'sDay：父亲节(6月第三个星期日)InternationalPeaceDay：国际和平日(9月第三个星期二)NationwideNationalDefenseEducationDay：全国国防教育日（9月第三个星期六）InternationalDayoftheDeaf：国际聋人节(9月第四个星期日)WorldHabitatDay：世界住房日(10月的第一个星期一)InternationalDayforNaturalDisasterReduction：国际减轻自然灾害日(10月第二个星期三)WorldSightDay：世界爱眼日(10月第二个星期四)拓展阅读一、主题阅读基础篇，5篇TherearemanytraditionalChinesefestivals.Amongthem,theSpringFestival,theTomb-SweepingDay,theDragonBoatfestivalandtheMid-AutumnFestivalarethemainones.Thefifteenthdayoftheeighthlunar(农历的)montheveryyear,peoplecelebratetheMid-AutumnFestival.InancientChina,festivaltimewasmostlyrelatedtothemoon’smovement.Themoonsymbolizes(象征)softnessandbrightness,andbringsjoytopeople.ThemoonisthemostbeautifuloftheyearonMid-AutumnFestival.Autumnisaharvest
