Unit 1 Festivals around the world
B3U1P1-3
FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS
Ancient Festivals
Festivals and celebrations of all kinds are held everywhere.
The
most
ancient
festivals
would
celebrate
the
end
of
the
cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Other
celebrations were held when hunters could catch animals. They
would
starve
if
food
was
difficult
to
find,
so
they
celebrated when they had food. They lit fires and made music
because they thought these festivals would bring a year of
plenty.
Festivals of the Dead

Some festivals are held to honour the dead, or satisfy and
please the ancestors, who could return either to help or to
do harm. In Japan the festival is called Obon, when people
should go to clean the graves and light incense in memory of
their ancestors. They light lamps and play music because they
think that this will
lead the ancestors
back to earth. In
Mexico they have the Day of the Dead in early November. On
this important feast day, people might eat food in shape of
skulls, and cakes with
“
bones
”
on them. They offer food,
flowers and gifts to the dead. The festival of Halloween had
its origin as an event in memory of the dead. It is now a
children
’
s festival, when they can go to their neighbours
’

homes and ask for sweets. They dress up and try to frighten
people. If they are not given anything, the children might
play a trick.
Festivals to Honour People

Festivals can be held as an honour to famous people or to
the gods. One of these is the Dragon Boat Festival in China,
which honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. Another is
Columbus
Day
in
the
USA,
in
memory
of
the
arrival
of
Christopher Columbus in America. In India there is a national
festival on October 2 to honour Mahatma Gandhi, the leader
who helped gain India
’
s independence from Britain.
Harvest
Festivals
Harvest
and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events.
People are
grateful
because their food is gathered for the
winter ,and because a season of agricultural work is over.
In
European
countries it is the custom to decorate churches
and
town
halls
with
flowers
and
fruit,
and
people
get
together
to
have
meals.
Some
people
might
win
awards
for
their
animals,
flowers,
fruits
and
vegetables,
like
the
biggest
watermelon
or
the
most
handsome
rooster.
In
China
and Japan there are mid-autumn festivals, when people admire
the moon and give gift of mooncakes.
Spring Festivals
The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that
look forward to
the end of winter and to the coming of spring.
At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish
and meat, and may give children
lucky money
in the
red paper
.
There are
dragon dances
and
carnivals
, and families celebrate
the lunar New Year together. In some Western countries there
are
very
exciting
carnivals,
which
take
place
forty
days
before
Easter,
usually
in
February.
They
might
include
parades,
dancing
in
the
streets
day
and
night,
loud
music
and colourful clothing of all kinds.
Easter
is an important
religious
and
social
festival
in
Christian
countries.
It
celebrates
the
return
of
Jesus
for
Christians
and
it
also
celebrates the coming of spring.
In Japan, the Cherry Blossom
Festival happens a little later. The country is covered with
cherry tree flowers so that it looks as though it might be
covered with pink snow.
People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with
each
others. Festivals let us enjoy life,
be proud
of our
customs and forget our daily life for a little while.

B3U1P4
We think it has always been the custom for people to have
festivals.
They
are
a
time
to
enjoy
each
other
’
s
company
and have fun with our friends. We think that long ago people
looked forward to the celebrations. Our ancestors would sit
round a fire and cook plenty of meat to eat. Then they would
be satisfied with their festival.

B3U1P7
A SAD LOVE STORY
Li Fang was heart-broken. It was Valentine
’
s Day and Hu Jin
had said she would meet him at the coffee shop after work.
But she didn
’
t
turn up
. She could be with her friends right
now laughing at him. She said she would be there at seven
o
’
clock,
and
he
thought
she
would
keep
her
word
.
He
had
looked forward to meeting her all day, and now he was alone
with his roses and chocolates, like a fool. Well, he was not
going to
hold his breath
for her
apologise
. He would
drown

his
sadness
in coffee.
It
was
obvious

that
the
manager
of
the
coffee
shop
was
waiting for Li Fang to leave
-
he
wiped
the tables, then sat
down and turned on the TV
-
just what Li Fang needed! A sad
Chinese story about lost love.
The seventh daughter of the Goddess of Heaven visited the
earth. Her name was Zhinu, the weaving girl, and she was the
most
lovely
of the daughters. While she was on earth she met
the herd boy Niulang and they fell in love. (
“
Just like me
and Hu Jin,
”
thought Li Fang.) They got married secretly,
and they
were very happy. (
“
We could
be like
that,
”
thought
Li Fang.) When the Goddess of Heaven knew that her daughter
was married to a human, she became very angry and made the
weaving girl return to Heaven. Niulang tried to follow her,
but the river of stars, the Milky Way, stopped him. Finding
that Zhinu was heart-broken, her mother finally decided to
let the
couple
cross the Milky Way to meet once a year. This
happens when the stars Vega and Altair meet in the Heaven.
Magpies make a bridge of their wings so the couple can cross
the river to meet on the seventh lunar month. people in China
hope that the weather will be fine on that day, because if
it is raining, it means that Zhinu is
weeping
and the couple
won
’
t be able to meet.
The announcer said,
“
this is the story of Qiqiaojie. When
foreigners
hear
about
the
story,
they
call
it
a
Chinese
Valentine
’
s story. It
’
s
a fine day today, so I hope
you
can all meet the one you love.
’’

As Li Fang set off for home, he thought,
“
I guess Hu Jin
doesn
’
t
love
me.
I
’
ll
just
throw
these
flowers
and
chocolates away. I don
’
t want them to remind me of her.
’’

So he did.
As he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way
home, he heard a voice calling him. There was Hu Jin waving
at him and calling,
“
Why are you so late? I
’
ve been waiting
for you for a long time! And I have a gift for you!
”

What would he do? He had thrown away her Valentine gifts!
She
would
never
forgive

him.
This
would
not
be
a
happy
Valentine
’
s Day!

B3U1P44&45
Winter carnival in Quebec
We are sitting in a café in old Quebec, drinking hot coffee
to
try
to
warm
up.
The
temperature
is
32
degrees
below
freezing. The windows are covered with steam from the heat
inside. Outside, the snow covers the streets and is piled up
along the sidewalks and in parking lots. The music and lights
of
the
carnival
continue,
but
we
have
been
watching
the
parades, riding in horse carriages and listening to the music
all day. Our feet are freezing and our noses are red.
Quebec
carnival
is
the
biggest
winter
festival
in
the
world
–
every year, hundreds of thousands of people come to
Quebec to take part in a week of activities. If you come,
you must be prepared to keep moving, as it is too cold to
stand and watch for long.
Early
in
the
morning,
you
can
watch
the
snowboarding
competitions
on
the
hill
overlooking
the
river.
The
competitions speed down the track and through the air though
they could fly.
If you are brave enough, you can try the canoe race. Five
or six men paddle in each canoe across the great St Lawrence
River, which is partly frozen. Of course, the river is full
of big pieces of ice, and if you were to fall in, you would
freeze in less than two minutes.
One
of
the
favourite
events
is
the
dog-sled
race,
in
which teams of about 6 Husky dogs pull long sleds at great
speeds along a snowy track. One person runs behind the sled,
shouting to the dogs to encourage them. The sound of the dogs
barking, the calls of the drivers and the shouts of the crowd
make an exciting Northern experience. The dogs are beautiful
strong animals, with long, thick fur. Many of them have blue
eyes.
After admiring the ice sculptures everywhere in the city,
much like those in Harbin in China, you can have a cup of
tae or coffee in an igloo. It is amazing how warm these ice
houses can be!
Late in the evening, you can go to the snow palace, where
Bonhomme the snowman is king, and join
the crowd. You can
dance outside to the music of a band, who are all dressed in
heavy clothes
–
even some of their instruments are dressed
up for winter.
Finally
we
sit
down
in
our
café
to
warm
up
and
to
plan
tomorrow
–

perhaps we’ll join t
he snowmobile races
–
or
perhaps we’ll just sleep in.

Book 3 Unit 2 Healthy eating

B3U2P10
COME AND EAT HERE (1)
Wang
Peiwei
sat
in
his
empty
restaurant
feeling
very
frustrated. It had been a very
strange
morning. Usually he
got up early and prepared his menu of mutton kebabs, roast
pork
and
fried
rice.
Then
by
lunchtime
they
would
all
be
sold.
His
restaurant
ought
to
be
full
of
people.
But
not
today! Why was it so? What could have happened? He thought
of his
mutton
kebabs and fatty pork cooked in the hottest,
finest oil. His fried rice was hot but did not taste of fat.
His cola was sugary and cold and his ice cream was made of
eggs,
milk,
cream
and
fruit.
“Nothing
could
have
been
better,”
he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Maochang
hurrying by. “He
llo,
Maochang,”he called, “Your usual?”

But
Maochang
seemed
not
to
hear.
What
was
the
matter?
Something
terrible
must
have
happened
if
Maochang
was
not
coming to eat with him as he always did.
Pengwei
followed
Li
Maochang
into
a
newly-opened
small
restaurant at the end of the street. There was a sign in the
window.
Tired of all that fat? Want to be thinner?
Come inside to Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.

Only slimming foods served here.
Make yourself thin again.
Curiosity
drove Wang Pengwei inside. It
was
full
of people.
A very thin lady came forward. “Welcome!”

she said, “My
name
is
Yong
Hui.I
will
take
all
that
fat
off
you
in
two
weeks if you eat here every day.”
Then she gave a menu to
Wang Peiwei. There were only two kinds of food and one drink
on
it:
raw
vegetables,
fruit
and
water.
Wang
Peiwei
was
amazed at this and especially at the prices. It cost
more
than a good meal in his own restaurant. He could not believe
his eyes! He threw away the menu and hurried outside. On his
way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people
fat? He wondered if he should go to the library to find out.
He couldn’t have Yong Hui getting away with telling people
lies! He had better do some research!
After reading,
he
realised what
was
wrong with Yong
Hui’
s
restaurant.
It
was
not
giving
its
customers
energy-giving
food!
After
eating
in
her
restaurant
people
would
become
tired
very
quickly.
Perhaps
this
was
a
way
to
win
his
customers back! Peng Wei wrote his own sign. It said:
Want to feel fit?
Come and eat here!
Our food gives you energy all day!
The competition between the two restaurants was on!

B3U2P12
Daisy
wished
to
be
___
so
that
she
could
wear
all
the
latest, cool clothes designed for the young. She decided to
do
some
___
into
what
foods
should
be
eaten
to
become
thinner.
She
learned
that
one
of
the
___
of
not
eating
enough was to become
very tired quickly. When she went
to
the
doctor,
he
told
her
she
could
be
thinner
as
well
as
healthy if she ate more vegetables like beans,
___
and
_
__
.So she did. She felt very fit when she started eating
more
___
foods as well as her usual energy
–
giving foods.
She
even
began
to
enjoy
eating
all
the
vegetables
___

rather than cooked. She soon looked like a model!

B3U2P14&P15
COME AND EAT HERE (2)
The next day Wang Pengwei
’
s restaurant was nearly full and
he felt happier. Perhaps he would be able to earn his living
after all and not have to close his restaurant. He did not
look forward to being in debt because his restaurant was no
longer popular. He smiled .But the smile left his face when
he saw Yong Hui walking in. She did not look happy but glared
at him as she moved round the customers. “May I ask what
you were doing in my restaurant yesterday? I thought you were
a new customer and now I find you came only to spy on me and
my
menu,”
she
shouted.
“Please
excuse
me,”
he
calmly
explained,
“
I wanted to know where all my customers had gone
yesterday.
I
followed
one
of
them
and
found
them
in
your
restaurant. I don’t want to upset you but I found your menu
so limited that I stopped worrying and started advertising
the benefits of my food. Why don’t you sit down and try a
meal?
”

Yong Hui agreed to stay and soon they were both enjoying
the dumplings, fatty pork and cola.
When they were served the ice cream Yong Hui began to look
ill.
“
I
feel sick with all this fat and heavy
food,
”
she
said,
“
I miss my vegetables and fruit.
”
Wang Pengwei was just
enjoying a second plate of dumplings so he sighed.
“
yes,
”
he
added,
“
and
I
would
miss
my
dumplings
and
fatty
pork.
But
don’t you tired quickly?”

“
Well, now you mention it. I do
have to rest a lot,
”

admitted Yong Hui.
“But don’t you think it would be better
if you were a bit thinner?
”
she asked Wang Pengwei.
“I’m
sure you would feel much healthier.
”

They began chatting about menus and balanced diets.
“
My
research has shown me that neither your restaurant nor mine
offers a balanced diet,
”
explained Pengwei,
“I don’t offer
enough fibre and you don’t offer enough body–
building or
energy
–
giving foods. Perhaps we ought to combine our menus
and provide
a balanced menu
with foods full of
energy and
fibre.
”
So
that is
what
they
did
,They
served
raw
vegetables
with the hamburgers and boiled the potatoes rather than fried
them .Then they served fresh fruit with ice cream. In this
way
they
cut
down
the
fat
and
increased
the
fibre
in
the
meal. Their balanced menus became such a success that before
long Wang Pengwei became slimmer and Yong Hui heavier. After
some
time
the
found
that
their
business
cooperation
had
turned
into
a
personal
one .Finally
they
got
married
and
lived happily ever after!

B3U2P52-53
THE TOWN HAS TO DECIDE
(At the meeting that evening there are two speakers: one for
and one against building a McDonald
’
s restaurant.)
FOR BUILDING A MCDONALD
’
S
I was excited when I heard that our community(
社区
) was to
have
its
own
McDonald
’
s
restaurant.
I
thought
about
all
those young people who would not have to go to the next town
to buy their favourite burgers and chips. McDonald
’
s cares
about healthy eating too and works with scientists to provide
food
that is of high
quality,safe and healthy. It is also
cheap .They often provide salads as well as burgers and chips.
You can also choose between cola and milk shakes(
奶昔
). Of
course it also means more work for our area that needs jobs
badly. McDonald
’
s say they are interested in doing what is
right
for
the
community
and
being
a
good
neighbour.
So
I
think they will be concerned about providing parking for the
cars in our main
street.
Many of our young people will be
only too happy to work for it. They make a promise to the
people
that
work
for
them.
They
say,
“
We
value
you,

your

growing
skills
and
your
help
to
the
company.
”
I
can
see
nothing
but
good
if
this
company
comes
to
build
its
restaurant in our town.
AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALD
’
S
I am very worried about McDonald
’
s building a restaurant in
our hometown. We are a small community and we enjoy our local
dishes. I am not sure if McDonald
’
s food is as healthy as
they say in their advertisements. When scientists look at it
carefully they find high levels of fat, sugar and salt. This
is
very
worrying.
Too
many
young
people
are
getting
fat
through eating too much fatty food. McDonald
’
s is not giving
young people a good idea of what a healthy diet should be.
Local

Chinese

food
,on
the
other
hand,

is
full
of
fresh
vegetables and fresh meat and fish. The food at a
McDonald’s

restaurant is always the same so I wonder if it is made or
brought in from elsewhere. Although it is freshly cooked ,it
must be less
healthy
than our own locally grown and cooked
Chinese food.
I also worry about all those cars bringing people to buy
food in McDonald
’
s. First, there would be petrol fumes(
气
体
),which would make our clean air dirty. Second, there
’
s
the problem of all those cars that try to park and prevent
other cars from moving quickly through our town. Third, what
will happen to all the food containers if people decide to
eat on the side of the road just out of town? Will they just
throw them on the ground?
I
’
m
sure many young
people
would be happy to work
for
McDonald’
s
but
will
they
be
treated
fairly(
公平地
)
?
In
American,
McDonald
’
s
does
not
allow
Unions
to
operate
in
its restaurants and these
are people who speak up for the
workers. If
,as they
say, the workers are happy with
them
why should they fear some workers joining a Union?
So
when
I
consider
the
food,
the
cars
and
the
jobs,
I
think
we
should
not
allow
McDonald
’
s
to
build
their
restaurant in our town.

ACT ONE
Note:
Scenes 1 and 2 are provided in the Teacher’s Book.


Scene 3
NARRATOR Now ladies and gentlemen , you’re about to hear
the most incredible tale. It is the summer of 1903, and Henry
Adams, an American business, has had some very bad luck. He
is lost in London. He has no money and does not know what he
should do. Walking down the street, he hears someone calling
him.
RODERICK Young man, would you step inside a moment, please?
HENRY Who? Me, sir?
RODERICK Yes, you.
OLIVER Through the front door on your left.
HENRY (a servant opens the door for him) Thanks.
SERVANT



Good
morning,
sir,
would
you
please
come
in?
Permit meto lead the way ,sir.
OLIVER Thank you, James. That will be all.
RODERICK How do you do, Mister
-
er
-
?
HENRY Adams, Henry Adams.
OLIVER Come and sit down, Mr Adams.
HENRY Thank you.
RODERICK You’re an American?

HENRY
That’s
right, from San Francisco.
RODERICK How well do you know London
HENRY Not at all. It’s my first trip here.

RODERICK I wonder, Mr Adams, if you’d mind us asking a few
questions.
HENRY Go right ahead.
RODERICK May we ask what you’re doing in this country and
what your plans are?
HENRY
Well, I can’t say that I have any plans.
I’m
hoping to find work. As a matter of fact, I landed in Britian
by accident.
OLIVER How is that possible?
HENRY Well, you see, back home I had my own boat. About
a month ago I was sailing out of the bay
-
(his eyes stare at
what is left of the brother
’
s dinner on the table)
RODERICK Well, go on.
HENRY Oh, yes. Well, towards nightfall I found myself
carried out to sea by a strong wind. I did not know
whether

I
could

survive
until
morning.
The
next
morning
I’d
just
about given myself up for lost when I was spotted by a ship.
OLIVER And it
was the
ship that bought you to England.
HENRY I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand,
which accounts for my appearance. (the brothers smile at each
other)
RODERICK

Well,
you
mustn’t

worry
about
that.
It’s
an
advantage.
HENRY I’m afraid I don’t quite follow you,
sir.
RODERICK Tell us, Mr Adams, what sort of work did you do in
America?
HENRY I worked for a mining company. Could you offer me
some kind of work here?
RODERICK Patience, Mr Adams. If you don’t mind,
may I ask
you how much money you have?
HENRY Well, to be honest, I have none.
OLIVER (
happily
)
What luck! Brother, what luck!(claps
his hands together)
HENRY Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me. If
this is your idea of some kind of joke, I don’t think it’s
very funny. (Henry stands up to leave)Now, if
you’ll excuse
me, I think I’ll be on my way.

RODERICK Please don’t go, Mr mustn’t think we
don’t care about you.
Oliver, give him the letter.
OLIVER Yes, the letter.(gets it from a desk and gives it
to Henry like a gift) The letter.
HENRY (taking it carefully) For me?
RODERICK For you. (Henry starts to open to it) Oh, no, you
mustn’t open it. Not yet. You can’t open it until two two
o’clock.

HENRY Oh, this is silly.
RODERICK

Not
silly.
There’s
money
in
it.
(calls
to
the
servant) James.
HENRY Oh, no, I don’t want your charity. I just want an
honest job.
RODERICK We know you’re hard
-working.
That’s

why we’ve
given you the letter. James, show Mr Adams out.
OLIVER Good luck, Mr Adams.
HENRY




Well,
why
don’t
you
explain
what
this
is
all
about?
RODERICK You’ll soon know. In exactly an hour and a half.

SERVANT This way, sir.
RODERICK Mr Adams, not until 2 o’clock. Promise?

HENRY Promise. Good-bye.

B3U3p20
One day my uncle told me a about a man who made a
that
he
would
be
able
to
walk
to
the
foot
of
a
mountain
by .The mountain was over 100 kilometres away from his
home
so people
were
happy to take
the
bet
because they thought
it was that anybody could walk so far in one day. But
they did not realise that the man had a plan ready. He got
his
to drive a large truck which would meet him on the road as
if . The truck would give the man a ride and he would
continue to pretend to walk as the truck moved along. In this
way
the
man
made
his






at
the
foot
of
the
mountain
before nightfall and he won his bet. He said he had walked
all the way though not always on the road!
