傳統節日的英語閱讀理解
怎麼填空？？端午節，為每年農歷五月初五，又稱端陽節、午日節、五月節、龍舟節、浴蘭節等。是流行於中國以及漢字文化圈諸國的傳統文化節日，
端午節起源於中國，最初為祛病防疫的節日，吳越之地春秋之前有在農歷五月初五以龍舟競渡形式舉行部落圖騰祭祀的習俗；後因詩人屈原抱石自投汨羅江身死，又成為華人紀念屈原的傳統節日；部分地區也有紀念伍子胥、曹娥等說法。
端午節自古便有食粽、飲雄黃久不息。受中華文化的影響，中秋節也是漢字文化圈國家以及世界各地華人華僑的傳統節日。
自2008年起端午節被列為國家法定節假日。2006年5月，國務院將其列入首批國家級非物質文化遺產名錄。2009年9月，聯合國教科文組織正式審議並批准中國端午節列入世界非物質文化遺產，成為中國首個入選世界非遺的節日。

端午節
「端」字有「初始」的意思，因此「端五」就是「初五」。而按照歷法五月正是「午」月，因此「端五」也就漸漸演變成了「端午」。《燕京歲時記》記載：「初五為五月單五，蓋端字之轉音也。」
端陽節
據《荊楚歲時記》記載，因仲夏登高，順陽在上，五月正是仲夏，它的第一個午日正是登高順陽天氣好的日子，故稱五月初五為「端陽節」。

情人節的由來英文版-The Origin of St Valentine's Day
添加日期：2006-2-17 10:28:26｜閱讀：373
St. Valentine's Day has roots in several different legends that have found their way to us through the ages. One of the earliest popular symbols of the day is Cupid（愛神丘比特）, the Roman god of love, who is represented by the image of a young boy with bow and arrow.
Three hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, the Roman emperors still demanded that everyone believe in the Roman gods. Valentine, a Christian priest, had been thrown in prison for his teachings. On February 14, Valentine was beheaded（斬首）, not only because he was a Christian, but also because he had performed a miracle. He supposedly cured the jailer's daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed, he wrote the jailer's daughter a farewell letter, signing it "From Your Valentine." Another legend tells us that this same Valentine, well-loved by all, received notes to his jail cell from children and friends who missed him.
Another Valentine was an Italian bishop who lived at about the same time, AD 200. He was imprisoned because he secretly married couples, contrary to the laws of the Roman emperor. Some legends say he was burned at the stake.
February 14 was also a Roman holiday, held in honor of a goddess. Young men randomly chose the name of a young girl to escort to the festivities. The custom of choosing a sweetheart on this date spread through Europe in the Middle Ages, and then to the early American colonies. Throughout the ages, people also believed that birds picked their mates on February 14!
In AD 496 Sain Pope Gelasius I named February 14 as "Valentine's Day". Although it's not an official holiday, most Americans observe this day.
Whatever the odd mixture of origins, St. Valentine's Day is now a day for sweethearts. It is the day that you show your friend or loved one that you care. You can send candy to someone you think is special. Or you can send roses, the flower of love. Most people send "valentines," a greeting card named after the notes that St. Valentine received in jail. Valentines can be sentimental, romantic and heartfelt（真心真意的）. They can be funny and friendly. If the sender is shy, valentines can be anonymous.
Americans of all ages love to send and receive valentines. Handmade valentines created by cutting hearts out of colored paper, show that a lot of thought was put into making them personal. Valentines can be heart-shaped, or have hearts, the symbol of love, on them. In elementary schools children make valentines for their classmates and put them in a large decorated box, similar to a mailbox. On February 14, the teacher opens the box and distributes the valentines to each student. After the students read their valentines they have a small party with refreshments.
For teenagers and alts, major newspapers throughout the country have a Valentine's Day offer. Anyone can send in a message, for a small fee of course, destined for a would-be sweetheart, a good friend, an acquaintance or even a spouse of fifty years. The message is printed in a special section of the newspaper on February 14.

萬聖節（中，英文版）
關於萬聖節有這樣一個故事。是說有一個叫傑克的愛爾半蘭人，因為他對錢特別的吝嗇，就不允許他進入天堂，而被打入地獄。但是在那裡他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被踢出地獄，罰他提著燈籠永遠在人世里行走。 在十月三十一日愛爾蘭的孩子們用土豆和羅卜製作「傑克的燈籠」，他們把中間挖掉、表面上打洞並在里邊點上蠟燭。為村裡慶祝督伊德神的萬聖節，孩子們提著這種燈籠挨家挨戶乞計食物。?這種燈籠的愛爾蘭名字是「拿燈籠的傑克」或者「傑克的燈籠」，縮寫為Jack-o'-lantern ?在拼寫為jack-o-lantern。 現在你在大多數書里讀到的萬聖節只是孩子們開心的夜晚。在小學校里，萬聖節是每年十月份開始慶祝的。 孩子們會製作萬聖節的裝飾品：各種各樣桔紅色的南瓜燈。你可以用黑色的紙做一個可怕的造形??一個騎在掃帚把上戴著尖尖帽子的女巫飛過天空，或者是黑蝙蝠飛過月亮。這些都代表惡運。當然黑貓代表運氣更差。有時候會出現黑貓騎在女巫掃帚後面飛向天空的造形。 在萬聖節的晚上，我們都穿著爸爸媽媽的舊衣服和舊鞋子，戴上面具，打算外出。比我們小的孩子必須和他們的母親一塊出去，我們大一點的就一起鬨到領居家，按他們的門鈴並大聲喊道：「惡作劇還是招待！」意思是給我們吃的，要不我們就捉弄你。里邊的人們應該出?評價我們的化裝。 「噢！這是鬼，那是女巫，這是個老太婆。」 有時候他們會跟我們一起玩，假裝被鬼或者女巫嚇著了。但是他們通常會帶一些糖果或者蘋果放進我們的「惡作劇還是招待」的口袋裡。可是要是沒人回答門鈴或者是有人把我們趕開該怎麼辦呢？我們就捉弄他們，通常是拿一塊肥皂把他們的玻璃塗得亂七八糟。然後我們回家，數數誰的糖果最多。 還有一個典型的萬聖節花招是把一卷手紙拉開，不停地往樹上扔，直到樹全被白紙裹起?。除非下大雪或大雨把紙沖掉，紙會一直呆在樹上。這並不造成真正的傷害，只是把樹和院子搞亂，一種萬聖節的惡作劇。 HALLOWEEN One story about Jack, an Irishman, who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern. Well, Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern." The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school. Children would make Halloween decorations, all kinds of orange-paper jack-o-lanterns. And from black paper you'd cut "scary" designs ---an evil witch with a pointed hat riding through the sky on a broomstick, maybe with black bats flying across the moon, and that meant bad luck. And of course black cats for more bad luck. Sometimes a black cat would ride away into the sky on the back of the witch's broom. And on Halloween night we'd dress up in Mom or Dad's old shoes and clothes, put on a mask, and be ready to go outside. The little kids (children younger than we were) had to go with their mothers, but we older ones went together to neighbors' houses, ringing their doorbell and yelling, "Trick or treat!" meaning, "Give us a treat (something to eat) or we'll play a trick on you!" The people inside were supposed to come to the door and comment on our costumes. Oh! here's a ghost. Oh, there's a witch. Oh, here's an old lady. Sometimes they would play along with us and pretend to be scared by some ghost or witch. But they would always have some candy and maybe an apple to put in our "trick or treat bags." But what if no one come to the door, or if someone chased us away? Then we'd play a trick on them, usually taking a piece of soap and make marks on their windows. .And afterwards we would go home and count who got the most candy. One popular teen-agers' Halloween trick was to unroll a roll of toilet paper and throw it high into a tree again and again until the tree was all wrapped in the white paper. The paper would often stay in the tree for weeks until a heavy snow or rain washed it off. No real harm done, but it made a big mess of both the tree and the yard under it. One kind of Halloween mischief.

復活節中英文介紹
A Sunday between March 22 and April 25
The meaning of many different customs observed ring Easter Sunday have been buried with time. Their origins lie in pre-Christian religions and Christianity. All in some way or another are a "salute to spring," marking re-birth. The white Easter lily has come to capture the glory of the holiday. The word "Easter" is named after Eastre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. A festival was held in her honor every year at the vernal equinox （春分）.
People celebrate the holiday according to their beliefs and their religious denominations （命名）. Christians commemorate Good Friday as the day that Jesus Christ died and Easter Sunday as the day that He was resurrected （復活）. Protestant settlers brought the custom of a sunrise service, a religious gathering at dawn, to the United States.
This year Easter will be celebrated on Sunday April 11, 2004. On Easter Sunday children wake up to find that the Easter Bunny has left them baskets of candy. He has also hidden the eggs that they decorated earlier that week. Children hunt for the eggs all around the house. Neighborhoods and organizations hold Easter egg hunts, and the child who finds the most eggs wins a prize.
The Easter Bunny is a rabbit-spirit. Long ago, he was called the" Easter Hare." Hares and rabbits have frequent multiple births so they became a symbol of fertility. The custom of an Easter egg hunt began because children believed that hares laid eggs in the grass. The Romans believed that "All life comes from an egg." Christians consider eggs to be "the seed of life" and so they are symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Why we dye, or color, and decorate eggs is not certain. In ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and Persia eggs were dyed for spring festivals. In medieval Europe, beautifully decorated eggs were given as gifts.
Egg Rolling
In England, Germany and some other countries, children rolled eggs down hills on Easter morning, a game which has been connected to the rolling away of the rock from Jesus Christ's tomb when he was resurrected. British settlers brought this custom to the New World.
In the United States in the early nineteenth century, Dolly Madison, the wife of the fourth American President, organized an egg roll in Washington, D.C. She had been told that Egyptian children used to roll eggs against the pyramids so she invited the children of Washington to roll hard-boiled eggs down the hilly lawn of the new Capitol building! The custom continued, except for the years ring the Civil War. In 1880, the First Lady invited children to the White House for the Egg Roll because officials had complained that they were ruining the Capitol lawn. It has been held there ever since then, only canceled ring times of war. The event has grown, and today Easter Monday is the only day of the year when tourists are allowed to wander over the White House lawn. The wife of the President sponsors it for the children of the entire country. The egg rolling event is open to children twelve years old and under. Alts are allowed only when accompanied by children!
Traditionally, many celebrants （司儀神父） bought new clothes for Easter which they wore to church. After church services, everyone went for a walk around the town. This led to the American custom of Easter parades all over the country. Perhaps the most famous is along Fifth Avenue in New York City.
Good Friday is a federal holiday in 16 states and many schools and businesses throughout the U.S. are closed on this Friday.

感恩節的由來Thanksgiving Day
Now I would like to give you some details about Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American of the national Holidays in the United States and is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country.
In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, they sailed to America on the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.
During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of[1] starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring.
All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest.Finally the fields proced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed[2]. Years later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today.
The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes.There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years.
Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing[3] to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on[4] the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.Thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year' s bounty and reverently ask for continued[5] blessings.

11 D 文章第一段中說到Susan got up early to make the tradional holiday meal.
12 B 第二段第一句說到She cut the ends off the ham.
13 A 第二段中Susan的媽媽在電話裡面回答說「I don't know the answer either. My mother always did that."
14 B 第三段中說到Susan的外婆聽了Susan的提問後稍微停頓了一下，然後開始大笑起來。
15 B 從最後一段作者所提的那些問題中可以總結出作者的觀點。
當時正好是感恩節早上6:30。蘇珊早早地起了床，因為她准備去做傳統的節日餐，就像媽媽和外婆以往做的那樣。
她把火腿腸的兩端切掉，在頂上放了一塊菠蘿片，然後把烤盤放進了烤箱。當她去洗手的時候，想起了火腿上被切掉的兩端。為什麼？為什麼要把那兩端切掉呢？想了好久之後，她意識到自己沒有答案。她的媽媽一直是那樣做的。她撥通了媽媽的電話，說道：「媽媽，你以前為什麼會把感恩火腿的兩端切掉？」媽媽想了好長一段時間之後回答道：「我也不知道答案。我的媽媽一直是那樣做的。你為什麼不打電話給她呢？」
蘇珊又打了電話給外婆，外婆接了電話，蘇珊對外婆說：「外婆，我們為什麼要把火腿的兩端切掉呢？」有了很長一段時間的停頓後，外婆開始大笑起來，她說：「事情是這樣子的，你外公和我年輕的時候，我們沒有什麼錢。一個鄰居送了一個大火腿給我們作為禮物。我們當時只有一個烤盤，我想把火腿放進烤盤里，可是烤盤太小，放不下，所以我把火腿兩端切掉，這樣就可以放進去了。從那以後我就一直都是那樣做的。你為什麼會問這樣的問題？」
讓我們想一想在工作中或生活中經常做的那些事情，你為什麼會用那樣的方式去做那件事呢？是誰決定的呢？現在還可行嗎？

The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."
【譯文】
老貓
一位老婦有隻貓，這只貓很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了東西，因為它年紀太大了。一天，老貓發現一隻老鼠，它跳過去抓這只老鼠，然而，它咬不住這只老鼠。因此，老鼠從它的嘴邊溜掉了，因為老貓咬不了它。
於是，老婦很生氣，因為老貓沒有把老鼠咬死。她開始打這只貓，貓說：「不要打你的老僕人，我已經為你服務了很多年，而且還願意為你效勞，但是，我實在太老了，對年紀大的不要這么無情，要記
住老年人在年青時所做過的有益的事情。」
A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the st.
He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the st and eat them.
Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
【譯文】
一個人正朝著一個富人的房子走去，當他沿著路走時，在路的一邊他發現一箱好蘋果，他說：「我不打算吃那些蘋果，因為富人會給我更多的食物，他會給我很好吃的東西。」然後他拿起蘋果，一把扔到土裡去。
他繼續走，來到河邊，河漲水了，因此，他到不了河對岸，他等了一會兒，然後他說：「今天我去不了富人家了，因為我不能渡過河。」
他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的，他找到蘋果，很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。
不要把好東西扔掉，換個時候你會覺得它們大有用處。

For a long time while they were walking home through the rain， the boy was thinking． Then at last he turned to his father and said to him，「Why does it rain， Father？ It isn't very nice， is it？」
「No， it isn't very nice， but it's very useful，Tom，」answered his father．「It rains to make the fruit and the vegetables grow for us， and to make the grass grow for the cows and sheep．」
Tom thought about this for a few seconds， and then he said，「Then，why does it rain on the road too， Father？」

湯姆對父親的這番話想了一會，然後說：「那麼，父親，老天爺為什麼還要把雨下在路上呢？」

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country. 總的來說在中國最重要的節日是春節,亦稱中國新年。對中國人民來說它的重要性就如方聖誕節對於西方人民。這個一年一次的節日日期取決於陰歷而不是格里歷，因此假日的時間變化從一月下旬到上旬2月。對普通的中國人，節日總是在除夕夜開始,結束於陰歷的第一個月的第五天。 但1第一個月的15號，通常稱燈會，在國家的大部分地區意味春節的正式結尾。
The Wolf and the Crane狼與鷺鷥
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone. When the Crane had extracted the bone and demanded the promised payment, the Wolf, grinning and grinding his teeth, exclaimed:
Why, you have surely already had a sufficient recompense, in having been permitted to draw out your head in safety from the mouth and jaws of a wolf." In serving the wicked, expect no reward, and be thankful if you escape injury for your pains.
狼誤吞下了一塊骨頭，十分難受，四處奔走，尋訪醫生。他遇見了鷺鷥，談定酬金請他取出骨頭，鷺鷥把自己的頭伸進狼的喉嚨里，叼出了骨頭，便向狼要定好的酬金。狼回答說：「喂，朋友，你能從狼嘴裡平安無事地收回頭來，難道還不滿足，怎麼還要講報酬？」 這故事說明，對壞人行善的報酬，就是認識壞人不講信用的本質

剪紙是中國傳統的民間藝術。它是用剪刀將紙剪成各種裝飾圖案，故稱為「剪紙」。
剪紙起源於漢。在漢、唐時代，民間婦女即有使用金銀箔和彩帛剪成花鳥貼在鬢角為飾的風尚。後來，在節日期間用彩色紙剪成各種花草、動物或人物故事等，貼在窗上的稱為「窗花」，貼在門上的稱為「門簽」，用於喜慶的稱為「喜花」。

剪紙是中國傳統的民間藝術。它是用剪刀將紙剪成各種裝飾圖案，故稱為「剪紙」。
剪紙起源於漢。在漢、唐時代，民間婦女即有使用金銀箔和彩帛剪成花鳥貼在鬢角為飾的風尚。後來，在節日期間用彩色紙剪成各種花草、動物或人物故事等，貼在窗上的稱為「窗花」，貼在門上的稱為「門簽」，用於喜慶的稱為「喜花」。

每年慶祝中秋節都是在農歷的八月十五日，大約在秋分時節。
這一天也被視為是秋收節，因為這時候的水果、蔬菜和穀物都到了收成的時候。蘋果、梨、桃子、葡萄和橘子隨處可見。節日的特色食品包括月餅、芋頭和許多其他蔬菜。有些人堅持要有煮熟的芋頭，因為在中秋節起源時，芋頭是在月光下第一種被發現的食物。
傳統上，是把十三個月餅堆成金字塔狀，以代表「完整的一年」的十三個月，即十二個月加上一個閏月。
中秋節是漢族和其他民族的傳統節日。拜月的習俗可以追溯到古代夏商時期（公元前2000年 - 1066年）。在南宋時期（公元1127年至1279年），人們將月餅送給親友作為禮物。夜幕低垂時，人們抬頭欣賞銀色的滿月，或者去湖邊賞月來慶祝中秋。自明朝（公元前1368-1644）和清朝（1644-1911年）以來，慶祝中秋節的習俗變得很受歡迎。在慶祝活動的同時，全國各地出現了一些特殊的習俗，例如在中秋節植樹、在高樓上的掛起燈籠和跳火龍舞。每當慶祝活動開始時，人們都會抬望著銀色的滿月，思念想遠在他鄉的親人和朋友，並向他們送上最美好祝福。

The Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the eighth moon, around the time of the autumn equinox（秋分）.
This day was also considered as a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain had been harvested by this time. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes and oranges may be seen. Special foods for the festival included moon cakes, cooked taro（芋頭）and many other vegetables. Some people insisted that cooked taro be included because at the time of creation, taro was the first food discovered at night in the moonlight.
Traditionally, thirteen moon cakes were piled in a pyramid to stand for the thirteen moons of a "complete year," that is, twelve moons plus one extra moon.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festivity for both the Han and other nationalities. The custom of worshipping the moon can be traced back as far as the ancient Xia and Shang Dynasties (2000 B.C.-1066 B.C.). In the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279 A.D.), people sent round moon cakes to their relatives as gifts. When it became dark, they looked up at the full silver moon or went sightseeing on lakes to celebrate the festival. Since the Ming (1368-1644 A.D. ) and Qing Dynasties (1644-1911A.D.), the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival celebration became so popular. Together with the celebration there appear some special customs in different parts of the country, such as planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting lanterns on towers and fire dragon dances. Whenever the festival sets in, people will look up at the full silver moon, think of their relatives and friends far from home, and send their best wishes to them.
