Unit 1 Living with technology
Part One Teaching Design
第一部分 教学设计
Aims and requirements
Read some exhibition boards about the history of television and audio devices, and an article about the dangers of mobile phones
Listen to information about electronic dictionaries
Talk about how modern electronic devices affect our lives and ask for information over the telephone
Write an e-mail to give advice
Make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of some modern electronic devices
Procedures
●Welcome to the unit
Step 1: Brainstorming
Nowadays, it seems that man cannot live without such electrical and electronic products as microwave ovens, refrigerators, TV sets, air conditioners, washing machines, electric fans, mobile phones, digital cameras and vacuum cleaners. Do you agree with me?
Which do you think is the most useful?
What electrical and electronic products do you use in your studies and in your life? (electronic dictionaries, computers, CD players, MP3)
Are they helpful or just make you lazier?
For reference
Electronic dictionaries give students quick responses in their reading. Students using electronic dictionaries need less time in reading than those who use paper dictionaries. Moreover, electronic dictionaries can provide correct pronunciation to students, which a paper dictionary cannot. The number of people using electronic dictionaries is increasing greatly.
As we can see, with the rapid development of electronic technology in the last few decades, electrical and electronic products have made our lives more convenient. I’d like to give you some examples.
Now, let’s have a discussion: What do you think life would be like without these products?
Step 2: Sharing information
1. Let’s enjoy some wonderful ads about some electrical and electronic products. What conclusion can you draw?
Man has made remarkable progress in this area in the last few decades.
Do you think the progress has made our lives more convenient or has made simple things more complicated?
For reference
●They are invented to meet people’s needs.
●They have improved people’s lives to some degree.
●They are developing very quickly.
●The radiation from some of the electrical and electronic devices, such as mobile phones, may be harmful to people’s health.
●When people buy new electrical of electronic devices, they throw away the old ones. This may generate large amount of waste, which is harmful to the environment.
2.Group work. Look at the four pictures at page 1. Let’s study them one by one and try to discuss some questions in group of four.
Picture 1
What kind of TV do you have at home?
What differences can you find between the TV in your home and the TV in this picture? (Early TV had antennae on top. The screen was very small and could show only black-and-white pictures. The size of the TV was small compared with modern TV, and usually it looked like a wooden box. Early TV also did not have a remote control. The control panel was on one side of the screen.)
What kind of pictures did early TV have? (Early TV had black-and-white pictures that were fuzzy.)
What other functions do you need in a modern TV?

What did people need when they wanted to record music in the past? (Tapes and a tape recorder.)
How did people record music in the past? (People put the tapes into the recorder, then played the tape with music at one side and pushed the play and record buttons at the other side to record the music onto the blank tape.)
Look at the picture. What devices do people need to record music now? (A computer, an MP3 player and some recording software.)
How do People record music using a computer? (People copy the music from a CD to the computer using recording software. The music will then be digitalized in and played by an MP Player. )
Picture 3
How do you look up a word in a paper dictionary? (The words in a paper dictionary are arranged in alphabetical order from ‘A’ to ‘Z’. We need to look at the first letter of the word and use it to search in the dictionary. If two words start with the same letter, we look at the second letter to decide the alphabetical order. If the first and second letters are the same, we look at the third letter and so on.)
How many of you have an electronic dictionary? How do you look up a word in such a dictionary? (We key in the word we want to look up and click the button ‘Enter’. Then the word entry will appear on the screen.)
Besides the dictionary, what else can be stored in your electronic dictionary? (There can be a calendar, a list of addresses and phone numbers, memos or a clock. More recent electronic dictionaries have large memory space and some can be used as electronic books with hundreds of books stored inside.)
Which do you prefer, an electronic book or a traditional paper book? Why?
Picture 4
How did people keep in touch in the past? (People sent letters in the past, but letters were slow, and they took from a few days to several months to arrive. Then people invented the telegraph, but the telegraph could send only short sentences. Later, people could communicate via telephone, but the disadvantage was that not everyone had a telephone. Now, people use e-mails to communicate. E-mails are quick, but people without computers and access to the Internet cannot send e-mails. Today, most people use mobile phones to keep in touch with others. The size of a mobile phone is small so people can carry one in a pocket and receive and make calls wherever they are and whenever it is.)
What recent developments have been made to mobile phones? (Now, mobile phones have more and more functions. They can send text messages. They can also be used as a digital camera to take still or even moving pictures. People can send the pictures they take to other mobile phones or e-mail addresses. Mobile phones can be connected to the Internet and people can look at web pages with mobile phones. More technologically advanced mobile phones can receive TV signals so that people can watch live TV programmes on their mobile phones.)
It is reported that many high school students bring mobile phones to their schools. Do you think high school students should use mobile phones at school? Why or why not?
Please express your ideas freely and make sure that all of you have a chance to speak.
Step 3: Discussion:
1. How have different electronic devices changed over time?
2. How have these inventions improved people’s lives?
Sample answers
1. Different electrical and electronic devices have changed a lot over time. Take mobile phones as an example. Mobile phones first appeared in 1947, and they looked much bigger than what we are using nowadays. In the past, they could only provide us with basic services like making phone calls. However, customers now want to be entertained. As a result, developments were made. Nowadays, many new types of phones are available that can connect to the Internet or be used as cameras or MP3 players.
2. These inventions have greatly improved people’s lives. Mobile phones are a good example of this. Before mobile phones came into use, people couldn’t make phone calls or receive phone calls if there was no telephone nearby. With mobile phones, people are able to make calls at any time and at any place. Today, many of us are very busy and cannot be expected to wait for a long time. Mobile phones provide us with a chance to keep in touch with others wherever we are.
For reference
Electrical and electronic goods help people save a lot of time and make our lives more convenient. However, we cannot ignore that every year electronic and electrical waste is increasing considerably, much of which will do great harm to our environment if not properly dealt with. The governments in many countries have realized the importance of solving the problem and they have been trying to find the solutions, but further attention needs to be given to the problem.
Step 4: Homework:
1. Collect more information about the development of some electronic and electrical devices.
2. Prepare the Reading part.
● Grammar and Usage
Step 1: General introduction
The grammar items in this unit focus on negative statements. You are expected to understand the meanings of negative statements. You will also learn the ways to make a negative statement. Then you may apply what you have learnt to practical use by finishing two exercises.
Step 2: Exercises
Turn the following into negative statements:
1. They’re listening to pop music now.
________________________________
2. Many people can speak English nowadays.
_________________________________
3. You must make your bed after you get up every day.
_______________________________________________
4. His mother has a beautiful car.
________________________________________________
5. We need a pen and piece of paper.
________________________________________________
6. I need wear a warm coat.
_________________________________________________
7. The old man always goes for a walk in the park after supper.
_______________________________________________
8. The doctors volunteer in the countryside every year.
_________________________________________
9. Mike does sports in the afternoon.
________________________________
10. You’d better talk with your parents right now.
___________________________________
Keys:
1. They aren’t listening to pop music now.
2. Many people can’t speak English nowadays.
3. You don’t have to make your bed after you get up every day.
4. His mother doesn’t have a beautiful car.
5. We don’t need a pen and piece of paper.
6. I needn’t wear a warm coat.
7. The old man seldom goes for a walk in the park after supper.
8. The doctors don’t volunteer in the countryside every year.
9. Mike doesn’t do sports in the afternoon.
10. You’d better not talk with your parents right now.
Step 3: Explanation and practice
1. Make a list of the most commonly used negative words:
no, not, never, neither, hardly, seldom, few, little, barely…
2. Please decide whether it is a true statement: John Keats was a famous short story writer.
This statement is untrue. We can correct an untrue statement in the following way:
John Keats was not a famous short story writer.
3. As we learned, negative statements are often used to correct a mistaken idea. Let’s recall the ways to make negative statements.
4. Read Part 1 and Part 2. When not is used with a negative prefix, the meaning of the sentence is positive. However, the positive meaning is not as strong as that of a direct positive statement. For example:
Students are not discouraged to discuss things with their classmates. (Students are encouraged to discuss things with their classmates.)
Your actions were not inexcusable, but they were certainly not appropriate. (Your actions were excusable, but certainly not appropriate.)
It is not uncommon for him to be late. (It is very common for him to be late.)
not can be used before a phrase of time, distance or a noun phrase to emphasize the negative meaning of the phrase. For example:
It is not a long distance from the city center to the new railway station. (=It is very near from the city center to the new railway station.)
It will not be long before most people around the world know how to use a computer. (=Soon, people around the world will know how to use a computer.)
There were not many people present for the lecture. (=There were very few people present for the lecture.)
5. Read Part 3. In informal English, the negative expressions can be used with whether and if to show doubt or uncertainty. For example:
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn’t buy a house soon. (=I wouldn’t be surprised if they bought a house soon.)
I wonder whether/if I shouldn't get a haircut. (=I wonder whether/if I should get a haircut.)
I wonder whether/if I shouldn't buy a new suit. (=I wonder whether/if I should buy a new suit.)
6. Read Part 4. Pay attention to some negative expressions.
on no account, in no circumstances, never before, nowhere, at no time, by no means,
7. Read a book report written by Sharon. Try to cycle the negative statements.
Answers
A 1 … he experiences an abnormal childhood without any parents.
2 He is raised in a place with other children who also have no parents.
3 He is then sent to a workhouse, where he has to work very hard and hardly has time to relax.
4 Oliver does not like anything about the workhouse.
5 He is treated very badly and seldom has enough food or water.
6 Fagin is not a good character and cares only about himself.
7 Oliver does not know anything at first and stays with Fagin.
8 He does not want to steal from anyone, but in order to survive, Oliver is forced to become a criminal.
9 Mr Barnlow is a man without any of Fagin’s vices.
10 Unless Oliver can escape, he will never be reunited with Mr Barnlow.
11 He will have only misfortune, not a real family and the love he deserves, which is the major theme of the book.
8. Finish Part B individually.
Answers
B 1 surprised if, didn’t
2 not uncommon
3 Not many
4 wonder whether/if, shouldn’t
For reference
There are some other patterns which can be used to express negation.
1 too + adjective +to-infinitive
In this pattern too, with the meaning ‘very’, is used before an adjective. After the adjective, an infinitive is used to mean ‘(somebody) cannot do’ or ‘something cannot be done’. Sometimes for somebody can be used before the infinitive. For example:
My father is too old to have such a long journey. (=My father is very old and cannot travel so long.)
She is too happy to say a word at the party. (=She is so happy that she cannot say anything at the party.)
The box is too heavy to carry. (=The box is so heavy that no one can carry it.)
The house is too expensive for us to buy. (=The house is so expensive that we cannot buy it.)
2 few + a countable noun; little +an uncountable noun
When we use few to modify a countable noun, we mean ‘not many’, and the noun should be in its plural form. When we use little to modify an uncountable noun, we mean ‘not much’. And few or little here has the negative meaning. For example:
Few students in our class have ever read Katherine Mansfield’s short stories. (=Not many/Only one or two students in our class have ever read Katherine Mansfield’s short stories.)
We have little rain all this summer. (=It almost does not rain during this summer.)
Because few or little has the negative meaning, we do not use the negative form in question tags. For example:
Few people liked his painting at that time, did they?
There is little ink in the bottle, is there?

Period 4 Using Language, Listening and Speaking
Teaching goals:
3. Learn, understand and use expressions of how to make an appointment.
4. Make an appointment and a simple interview in proper English.
5. Understand polite expressions used in English-speaking countries and Chinese-English cultural differences
Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Lead-in
Look at the four pictures. Do you know them?
Jay Chou Yang Liwei Li Jiacheng Yao Ming
As we kown, they are famous people in entertainment, science, economy and sports. And most of you are familiar with them. Now, suppose you are a reporter and you are asked to interview one of the above people. Who would you like to interview first? Why?
(Students’ answers may vary. They can answer the question according to their own interest and their knowledge of these people.)
If you are to interview one of them, what questions will you ask them?
(Students may ask questions they are interested in and that may help them know more about these people.)
Possible questions students may ask:
1. to Jay Chou
Why do you take singing as your career?

Step 2 Listening
As we know, people in the English-speaking countries use a lot polite expressions to show politeness and friendliness. Now, tell me some of these expressions.
Possible answers students may give:
Thank you. Would you please …? Could you tell me how …?
As a reporter, you should be very polite while interviewing these famous people. So you need a lot of polite expressions.

●Word power
Step 1: Brainstorming
1. Guessing Game:
At the beginning of today’s class, let’s play a guessing game. Here are several cards, each of which says a household appliance. I’d like one of you to give a brief description of the device and other students to guess what it is.
For reference
An air-conditioner: It can be stationed on the wall. It can make our room warm in winter and cool in summer.
A microwave oven: It’s a type of oven which cooks food very quickly using microwaves.
A refrigerator: A cabinet or room in which food is kept cold.
A washing machine: A electric machine for washing clothes.
A digital computer: A device that makes calculations, etc with data represented as a series of digits.
A vacuum cleaner: A electrical appliance that takes up dust, dirt, etc by suction.
2. Next time you are in a shop, notice the electrical and electronic goods especially household appliances that are sold and try to list as many devices as possible.
Step 2: Vocabulary learning
1. A section manager from a big department store is showing the electrical and electronic goods to a new salesperson. Please read what the manager says (Part A on Page6). Pay special attention to the phrases in blue. Make sure that you understand what they actually mean.
2. Now, please arrange the goods from the manager’s introduction in the correct section. Fill in the form.
Electronic goods
Audio devices:
CD players
MD players
MP3 players Educational products:
educational software
electronic dictionaries
electronic translators
Video devices:
Video cameras
Digital cameras Computers
Mobile phones
3. Let’s come to the household appliances section. Read the passage in Part B. Pay attention to the names of the goods in this section.
4. Pair work: Give a brief description of the household appliances to you partner in your own words. You may also describe other household appliances you know.
5. Now we’ve been familiar with the names of household appliances. Let’s try to complete the article in Part C on Page 7.
Answers
C
(1) electronic goods (2) household appliances (3) audio devises
(4) CD player (5) MD players (6) MP3
(7) video cameras (8) educational software (9) translators
(10) freezer section (11) vacuum cleaners (12) microwave oven
Step 3: Vocabulary extension
1. Of course, electrical appliances and electronic devices are useful in various ways in our lives. But which do you think is the most useful? First, have a discussion in group of four about the questions.
2. Now, present the result of your discussion.
3. Let’s come to Part D on Page 7. Complete the table with as many as you can think of, placing the items in order of importance with the most important one first.
4. Reading:
words:337 time:5’10’’
All in the mind: Scientific metaphors
It is certainly true that computers, cell phones and digital cameras have become part of our everyday life. Anywhere we go, we can hear the ringing of a cell phone, the tapping of a keyboard or the clicking of a mouse. We are said to be living in the “Information Age”, a time of new discoveries and great changes. But is it really true that we are living in the “Information Age”? Has our life changed that much? Many of the things we do with computers, such as typing and sending mail, are things that we also did before. Has anything really changed except the tools we use?
When we describe or talk about new inventions, we use words and ideas that we already know. For example, when we want to explain how a computer works, we use words like “memory”, “store” and “cut and paste”. The words are useful, but they are not quite true. A computer’s “memory” is similar to human memory in some ways, but it is also very different. A computer does keep information in its memory, but that is clearly different from other kinds of storage. We do cut and paste, but we don’t use scissors or glue. Using familiar words makes it easier for us to understand and use a new tool, but it may also make it more difficult for us to use the new invention in the best way. After all, what makes a new invention such a wonderful thing is that it allows us to do something we could not do before.
Science is not just about electronics and plastic; it is also about how we think about the world. Now that we are developing new technology at such a high pace, the true challenge is to find new ways of using it. How will we use computers in the future? How will we use the Internet? The real function will only be known once we discover new ways of thinking about the technology.

1. Prepositions with verbs.
Some verbs in English are paired with a particular preposition to create an expression. Each of these expressions has a particular meaning. Even though there are often two or more prepositions paired with the same verb, each expression has a different meaning and they cannot be used interchangeably. For example, look at, look for, and look up have the same verb but three different prepositions. The phrases have different meanings and you cannot use look up when you need look for in your sentence.
speak to 和……说话 stay with 和某人呆在一起 think about 考虑有关……
write to 给某人写信 look for 寻找 wait for 等待
take care of 照顾 call on(sb.)拜访 arrive at(in) 到达
2. Prepositions with nouns

at night夜晚 on foot 步行 on one’s way 在去某地的路上 on the telephone 用电话

be absent from 缺席 be proud of 以……为自豪 be different from 和……不同
be famous for 因……而著名 be fond of…… 爱好,喜欢 be pleased with 乐于

For reference: More explanation of Preposition:
1. Prepositions of manner and means. The prepositions in (---manner/way), by , with , without , as or like can be used to refer to manner, meaning ‘how one does something’. For example:
She spoke in her usual way as if nothing had happened.
The teacher came into the classroom, with some books on her hands.
The soldier answered the question without hesitation.
My aunt makes tea like my mother.
He cannot run as quickly as his brother.
By can be used to show the meaning ‘by means of ’. For example:
They must have broken into the house by the back door.
We managed to sell our car by advertising it in the newspaper.
I usually go to school by bike.
With or without can be used to express using awn instrument to do something.
He opened the tin with a knife.
I can draw a straight line without a ruler.
2. The functions of prepositional phrases
● as an adverbial
My mother has worked in the school for nearly twenty years.
To our great surprise, all of the students have passed the exam.
My father goes to work on foot, but if it rain, he will go by bus.
● as an attribute
The girl under the tree is my good friend.
The book with a red cover was given to me as a birthday present.
Please pass me the one on the left.
● as an object complement
Later, I found my watch in my pocket.
I left my book in the classroom.
Before it is ready to eat, we’d better keep it in the fridge for a while.
3. When a preposition is used after an intransitive verb to form a prepositional verb, the prepositional verb can be followed by an object. For example :
Who will look after the children when Mother is away?
You can always believe in him. He won’t let you down.
Let’s look over the notes before the test.

Origins of English Idioms
The knowledge of the origins of English idioms about animals may help us understand what they mean better. Many idiomatic expressions come from the everyday life of the English people. Some idioms originate from allegories. An allegory is a style of a story in which the characters and events are meant as symbols of truth. For example, “bell the cat” refers to a person who takes a risk or does something that is dangerous, esp. for the good of others. The idiom is originated from a story of some mice that agreed to put a bell round a cat’s neck so that they would know when the cat was near. But none of the mice had the courage to do it. The other examples are: sour grapes, the lion’s share, sweet lemon, and so on.
The second chief source of English idioms is the Bible. For instance, “separate the sheep from the goat” comes from the Bible, Matthew 25:32, referring to wild goats that have wandered into a group of sheep and must be separated from them. Its figurative meaning is to separate the good from the bad. The other idiomatic expressions springing from the Bible are the apple of one’s eye, a drop in the bucket, a thorn in the flesh, and the like.
A legend refers to a story that was handed down from the past, esp. one that may not be true. For instance, “fight like Kilkenny cats”, this idiom springs from the legend that some soldiers in the Irish town of Kilkenny once tied two cats together by their tails and made them fight. The fight was so fierce that all that was left of the cats was their tails. It is now used to denote to fight fiercely.
Another idioms concerning cat is from the origin of folk legend, “a cat has nine lives”, referring to the belief that a cat, because of its natural qualities of speed, cleverness, etc., is very difficult to kill and stays alive in situations that would have caused the death of most other animals.
After the legend, literary works, including dramas, poems and novels, is another major source of English idioms. “Beard the lion in his den” is a point in case from the poem of Marmion by Sir Walter Scott, indicating to face someone frightening or powerful. By Shakespeare, “to give the Devil his due” expresses to be fair in giving praise to a person even though one does not like much or approve of him. “Let sleeping dogs lie”, “The world is somebody’s oyster” are examples of the same source.
In addition, myths, allusions and historical stories remain the sources of English idioms, too.
1. If you have a good knowledge of the origins of English idioms, you will understand what they mean better.
______________________________________________________________________________.
2. The idiom “fight like Kilkenny cats” comes from the Bible.
______________________________________________________________________________.
3. The idiom “bell the cat” refers to some mice that agreed to put a bell round a cat’s neck so that they would know when the cat was near.
______________________________________________________________________________.
4. English idioms are originated from a variety of different sources, such as the Bible, legends, literary works, myths, and even historical stories.
5. If you don’t understand the idiom “Let sleeping dogs lie”, you should refer to the Bible.

B2 Read the following passage and choose the correct answers.
Many people today think that Father Christmas is just the British name for Santa Claus. Whilst it is true that Father Christmas and Santa are considered virtually the same today, Father Christmas is a completely different person entirely, with a much longer history.
The American Santa Claus has one source. He originated from Dutch settlers' stories about Sinter Klass, the Dutch name for St Nicholas, and how he gave presents to girls and boys.
St Nicholas was Bishop of Myra, in Turkey in the 3rd century AD, who would travel in his red bishop's robes and give gifts to the poor. He was believed to have been particularly kind to children. Apparently, he was also very shy. Legend has it that one day, wanting to give money to a family in secret, he dropped some gold coins down the chimney, where they landed in a girl's stocking. St. Nicholas didn't 'arrive' in Britain until after the Norman invasion, and when he did arrive his story was quickly absorbed into the legend of Father Christmas. By this time, our Father Christmas had already been around for centuries!
The earliest Father Christmas appeared during ancient British mid-winter festivals. He wasn't known as Father Christmas then, of course, but as a general pagan figure who represented the coming of spring. He would wear a long, green hooded cloak and a wreath of holly, ivy or mistletoe. It is the association with holly and mistletoe, and his ability to lift people's spirits, that we retain from this ancient Father Christmas. When Britain fell under Saxon rule in the fifth and sixth centuries AD, Father Christmas took on the characteristics of the Saxon Father Time, also known as King Frost or King Winter. Someone would dress up as King Winter and be welcomed into homes, where he would sit near the fire and be given something to eat and drink -- a bit like our mince pies and whisky for Father Christmas, perhaps? It was thought that by being kind to King Winter, the people would get something good in return: a milder winter. Thus Father Christmas became associated with receiving good things.
This association was strengthened when the Vikings invaded Britain and brought their own midwinter traditions with them. The 20th through the 31st of December is known as Jultid -- the time when the Norse God Odin takes on the character of Jul, one of his twelve characters, and visits the earth. The name lives on today as Yuletide. During Jultid Odin, a portly, elderly man with a white beard and a long, blue, hooded cloak was said to have ridden through the world on his eight-legged horse Sleipnir, giving gifts to the good and punishments to the bad. Our Father Christmas became fat like Odin and developed the ability to automatically know whether people had been bad or good. Also like Odin, Father Christmas could travel magically and be in lots of places in a short space of time.
1. How was St Nicholas like?
A. kind and shy B. greedy and cruel C. helpful but rude D. generous but aggressive
2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Father Christmas originated from Dutch settlers’ stories.
B. The name Father Christmas came into being long before Santa Claus
C. The earliest Father Christmas appeared as a general pagan figure who represented the coming of spring.
D. All young children think Father Christmas is a happy old man with a long red beard and a long white robe and they believe in him.
3. We can infer from the passage that _______________.
A. Father Christmas and Santa are considered virtually the same today.
B. The role of Father Christmas changed over several centuries.
C. It is believed that Father Christmas could travel magically and in lots of places in a short space of time.
D. In the year of 300 AD, there was a kind old man and his name was Saint Nicholas., who was always ready to help the poor and often gave presents to them

NEW YORK- Picking a Christmas tree takes most people a few minutes, or a couple of hours if they head for the woods. Dave Murbach needs 11 months.
Almost every day of every year, Murbach' s thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyone's breath away.
Murbach is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that graces Manhattan' s Rockefeller Center each Christmas season.
“I'm always looking for a tree,” the center's chief gardener says. “I look for it even when I go to the beach in the summer. It' s like a homework assignment hanging over your head.”
And if he gets it wrong, there's nothing hiding it.
“Every day it's up,400,000 people go by, and 2.5 million people watch the lighting celebration on television,”he says.
This year's tree, a 74-foot Nomy spruce (云杉) from Richfield, Ohio, flown to New York on the word's largest cargo plane, was lighted on December 2.
The arrival of the tree leads in the Christmas season in New York -- a tradition dating to 1931, when the workers building Rockefeller Center put up a small tree with ornaments (装饰品).
The search for the next year's tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs.
Murbach has three standards: The tree must be at least 65 feet high, at least 35 feet across and leaves dense (密集的) enough not to see through.
That's not as simple as it sounds. Though forests are full of evergreens, few get enough sunlight or space to fill out. And branches in snow regions often break under the weight, making trees uneven.
Back at the office, he sorts through hundreds of letters from people offering their trees, many addressed simply to “Mr. Christmas Tree Man.”
Despite the occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night, Murbach knows the effect the tree has on people: “It's for bringing people together, attempting to bring together people you love. That's what I hope it sets off.”
But Murbach says he's always too worn out to celebrate Christmas.
1.Murbach spends a lot of time that are exhibited in Manhattan' s Rockefeller Center each Christmas season.
A. taking care of Christmas trees B. deciding on the perfect evergreens
C. sorting the letters from people D. deciding the TV programs
2.It' s likely that Murbach takes his job seriously because he wants_______ .
A. everyone to be happy with his choice B. to make everybody unable to breathe
C. to show off his special ability D. to attract people's attention to himself
3.According to Murbach' s standard of trees, the best tree must_______ .
A. be evergreen B. have lots of space between their branches
C. be tall enough not to see through D. be equally balanced
4.Why doesn’t Murbach celebrate Christmas?
A. He is too tired. B. He himself has nothing to decorate the tree.
C. He himself has no tree. D. He has no loved family members-to reunite.
B
One day an American friend invited me to a party. It wasn't a real party; it was some kind of informal get-together. Since it was summer time, he had a cookout where most of his American friends and relatives were known to me, but there were others I had never met before.
It was the most embarrassing (令人窘迫的) party for me when I noticed that everybody was wearing jeans and simple T-shirts for the day, while I arrived in proper dress with my shoes and my hair all fixed for a fancy party. It was hard to explain my embarrassment to other guests. When one of them turned around and said, “What nice clothes! What's the occasion (场合)?” I felt my face burning hot with embarrassment. I did not answer at all. If she knew how bad I already felt, she wouldn't have come near me. But she did. Maybe she didn't ask intentionally to make me feel bad or uncomfortable, but my reaction had to do with the way I already felt. I could have told her I had to go to another party after- wards, but I did not want to continue the conversation.
Many times I thought about going home and changing, but I knew that they would notice. It would be even worse for me, because I knew they would quickly think that I felt out of place. So I wanted to pretend that I was okay...
I had already realized their customs were different from mine; but after I talked to my friend, I was more certain that people here are more casual (随意的). They care less about formality, unless it is a special occasion, like a wedding or a very formal invitation.
In contrast (对比), my culture is totally the opposite. For example, in Cape Verdean culture, if a friend invited me to his house on a special day, even if it is not a real party, one should appear well dressed or otherwise the host will be annoyed thinking you are disrespectful to him or the other guests. We do dress casually for going on picnic or on ordinary days, but not normally to go over to a friend's when invited, especially if other people will be there.
After all, I think that my problem at the party wasn't that I wasn't accepted by the Americans; but my feeling was so bad that I couldn't fit in the group even if nobody noticed, because I was the one who discovered the difference in the first place. It doesn't matter if people dress differently, but I was the only one different in the group. I felt I was the one who should make their customs suitable for me. After that, I decided to learn more about American culture, so now I don't have as many problems as I've had in the past.

A. It was very formal. B. People wore casual clothing.
C. It took place in a restaurant. D. People care more about formality.
6. This story is mainly about ________ .
A. culture differences B. living in the United States
C. what to do at a cookout D. how to get prepared for a cookout
7. It can be inferred from the story that the author_______ .
A. left the cookout early B. probably didn't enjoy the cookout
C. never wears blue jeans D. will never go to a cookout
