Hanukkah (光明节) is a Jewish festival. It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev (犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. It is often called the festival of lights. The festival celebrates the time, over 2，000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion. When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem, they found there was only little holy oil to keep the sacred light burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights until the people had time to make more oil.

At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greeting cards, and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food.

Josie from New York, USA

“In America, Thanksgiving is celebrated every year at the end of November. It is to remember the first group of people from Europe to live in America.

Thanksgiving is meant to be a traditional celebration.”

Todd from California, USA

“Thanksgiving is the first day of Christmas shopping. That means we have four weeks to buy Christmas presents for our families and friends. For me and my friends, the most important part of the festival is the big football game on TV. The match is watched by millions of people all over America. Thanksgiving is seen as an exciting day for football！”

Ian from Saskatoon, Canada

“In Canada, Thanksgiving is held on the second Monday in October. On the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day, many people go to church. Thanks is given for all the good things that happened to them during the year. I always give thanks for the nice big turkey I'm going to have at the family dinner! Like all festivals, Thanksgiving is about food！”

Katie from Maritimes, Canada

“On Thanksgiving Day, we have dinner with all our cousins, aunts and uncles. It is always very busy. Sometimes we have two Thanksgiving dinners because we go to both our grandparents' houses. The dinner is usually attended by more than twenty people at each house! My mother and my aunts do all the cooking but the washing-up is done by me and my cousins. And that's not an easy job!

Ⅴ.任务型阅读

While many people are accessible by email, sometimes it is difficult to determine how exactly to write an email to them. Here are some tips for you to follow.

Write an appropriate subject line. The subject line should tell the recipient (接收者) immediately what the email is about. 1.________ Remember that your wording also has to be brief.

2．________ It is best to be more formal rather than informal, so when writing to someone you have never met or written to before, a “Dear Jane Smith” is appropriate. When addressing someone whom you are a little familiar with, a “Dr. Smith” is okay until they tell you to address them by their first name, in which case a simple “Jane” will be okay.

3．________ Within the first two sentences of your e­mail, your recipient should know exactly why you are writing to them. Sometimes an introduction may have to precede (先于) the sentence that states why you are writing, and sometimes it has to follow.

Use appropriate language. You may be used to using informal language in certain social settings. 4.________Even when dealing with colleagues or friends you are familiar with, do not immediately fall back on informal language.

19

Keep it simple. People may get dozens and even hundreds of emails a day. 5.________ In that way, they can save much of their time when reading emails.

A．Use proper greetings. B．Express your ideas clearly. C．State your purpose at the beginning.

D．Be as specific as possible when writing the subject.

E．However, an email may not be the best place to use such language.

F．It is important to check the language to avoid spelling and grammar mistakes. G．It is always easier for them if you keep your email as short and brief as possible. 语篇解读：本文是说明文，就如何写电子邮件提出了几点建议。

1．解析：选D 本选项承接上一句来说明写主题的时候要具体，以便收件人能够立即知道邮件的主题，下一句也顺着本选项展开，说明措辞也要简练，故选D。

2．解析：选A 本段主要讲不同情况和场合下应该使用适当的称呼，故选A。 3．解析：选C 根据下一句可知，本段主要讲在邮件一开始就点明你写邮件的意图，选项中的“at the beginning”与下一句中的“Within the first two sentences”相对应，故选C。

4．解析：选E 本选项与上一句构成语意上的转折关系，以此来说明写电子邮件时不要使用非正式的语言，同时与下句也构成了并列关系，故选E。

5．解析：选G 本选项中的them指代上一句中的people，与前后句共同来说明为什么要使邮件简洁、明了，故选G。
