Unit TwoLet's dress up—It's HalloweenFrom early childhood getting dressed up is connected with a special pastime in North America, called Halloween. Halloween is celebrated on the last night of October, when the air is crisp and snow is not far off. Every young child is acquainted with this exciting tradition. On the last day of October when dinner is finished, children hurry to dress up in a costume. Darkness comes early at this time of year and caution must be practiced, foremost by the children who are going from house to house, “trick or treat”. Parents warn their children not to dart out in front of cars. In all the excitement it is easy for children to become distracted and ignore safety rules. Planning what your costume will be, ahead of time, is part of the fun of the evening. Many mothers will spend time fabricating outfits for their little girls who suddenly turn into circus clowns, beautiful ballet dancers or weird colorful bugs. Fathers may help their sons construct a costume of foil armor. Little boys often enjoy pretending they are in the army so on Halloween it is possible to see squads of lieutenants and sergeants marching along in the dark. We affiliate the celebration with thesupernatural so some children may choose to wear a skeleton costume bearing a skull and crossbones, or even a monster costume. The choice of wardrobe for the evening is really limitless. Witches can be seen riding on broomsticks across well illuminated intersections. Earlier in the evening they may have concocted a witch's brew to quench their thirst for their arrival home. Ghosts can be heard groaning and moaning while they glide along city streets. Beautiful butterflies flutter by on their way to a party. Pirates carrying swords and pistols roam about, patches over one eye. Small aliens search for a new home here on Earth. Wearing a cape and mask allows a child to become Superman for a few hours and enter the world of fantasy. An ethnic flavor is introduced as a band of gypsies dance along under a bright full moon. Of course you can always see a certain number of native American costumes, the buckskin jackets and dresses decorated with fringe and beads. Some youngsters choose to decorate only their faces with grease paint instead of wearing masks. In many ways this is safer for a child, making visibility clearer. At the same time a mask allows them to remain anonymous to all but their closest friends.Usually, on the night before Halloween, family members gather together to carve a pumpkin. On Halloween night the candle lit face of the pumpkin shines from each home welcoming the little ghosts and goblins to call. Parents usually escort small children around their own neighborhood helping to keep them safe. Small children only visit random houses, their parent's friends mostly, while older children knock at every door. Crowding onto the front porch of the house the children rap at the door and chant the refrain “trick or treat”. Householders distribute candies, apples, peanuts, or any edible treat into decorated wooden six quart baskets, or plastic bags. Theymay be asked to recite a poem or sing a song before receiving their treat. Some lucky children may receive cookies from a freshly baked batch of chocolate chip cookies. On arriving home the children will dump all the junk candy out onto the floor to examine their loot. Usually there is a great racket as brothers and sisters compare what goodies they have collected. Adults, too, like to join in Halloween celebrations by attending small house parties at halls or arenas.or large group gatherings. They may play the old traditional games, such as bobbing for apples, which float in tubs of water telling ghost stories and visiting a haunted house. Everyone seems to get enjoyment from being slightly afraid. If you live in the country the hooting of an owl or even the howl of a wolf underlines the spooky atmosphere of Halloween evening. Clouds scuttle across the face of the moon and the flap of a bird's wings can be heard as it settles on the bare branches of a tree. Eyes gleam in the night as a black cat crosses your path. Bats swoop about in the dark startling those who are nervous. On this evening it is not necessary to be extravagant to have a good time. A little imagination and a sense of fun will create a memory of Halloween night for many years.。

As I look at my clock and calculate the time back home. I realize that half a world away people are busy getting ready for a wedding. The bride is my niece, a person I first met when she was three days old. I think back to the first time I had the opportunity to become acquainted with (adj. 熟悉的, 认识的, 了解的, 有知识的） my niece. As my sister cradled （n. 摇篮,发祥地,摇篮时代vt. 放在摇篮内,抚育,收割） her in her arms, the infant （n. 婴儿, 幼儿adj.婴儿的，初期的，幼稚的）girl clasped （n.扣子，钩,紧握v. 扣紧，紧握，密切合作）her mother's outstretched （adj.扩张的，伸长的）finger. My intuition （n. 直觉, 直觉的知识） told me that her temperament （n.气质，性情）would be a sunny disposition （n. 性情,倾向,安排,处置,控制,［计算机］配置情况）, a joy to people around her. As she grew, the cute （adj.可爱的，聪明的，俐伶的n .智取敌方的策略/手段,灵巧） little girl had an infectious （adj. 传染的,有感染力的） laugh that started as a small grin （v. 露齿而笑，（以咧嘴笑来）表示n.露齿笑，咧嘴笑）,then became a giggle and grew louder and louder until it triggered （adj. 触发的, 起动的） a response from all the people around her and they joined in. As an adolescent （adj.青春期的，青少年的n.青少年）, she studied hard and enjoyed well deserved （a dj .理所当得的,理所当然的） success in secondary school as she interacted （vi. 相互作用, 相互联系, 相互影响） with her peer （n. 同辈,同等的人,贵族vi.凝视，窥视）group. After receiving her high school diploma, she chose nursing as her career. From the beginning of the young couple?s romance it was evident （adj. 明白的, 明显的） that they were compatible （adj. 一致的,兼容的, 适合的n.兼容）and were completely intrigued （vt.欺骗，激起... 的兴趣vi.密谋n.阴谋,私通,复杂的事）with each other. The couple had an engagement （n 约会, 约定, 订婚, 婚约, 雇用, 交战） party when I was at home in Canada a few months ago. The party was in the form （形状，形态，外形，表格，形式）of a picnic（野餐）in a beautiful rose garden. To celebrate and to toast （v.烤，烘v.为…祝酒n.祝酒，祝酒词，被祝酒的人，吐司，烤面包） their future, we drank champagne （n. 香槟酒,香槟色）. As they posed under an arch covered with climbing roses, we snapped （v劈啪作响，崩塌，砰然关上，猛咬，谩骂，拍摄n. 啪嗒声，快照adj.突然的，匆忙的adv劈啪作响地）pictures for their photo album （n. 唱片集, 唱片, 相册, 集邮册, 纪念册）. The couple decided on a fall wedding. Plans for the wedding day were activated immediately. The decisions about the forthcoming （adj. 即将到来的, 现成的, 乐意帮助的） event were shared by the whole family. A close friend of the family was contacted and invited to sing a solo （n.独奏, 独唱adj.单独的adv.单独地v.放单飞，单独表演）just prior （adj.优先的，在前的，更重要的adv.居先，在前）to the ceremony （n.仪式，礼节，典礼）.The day before the ceremony, a rehearsal （n.排练, 彩排） would take place so that the remainder （n. 剩余物, 其余的人, ［数］余数vt.廉价出售adj.剩余的）of the details （n.细节，琐事，枝节vt. 详述, 详细说明） could be looked after and attended to.The planning that takes place beforehand for one of these events and all the work that the big day entails （vt. 使必需, 带来, 限定继承n.限定继承权）,with many people collaborating （adj. 协作的） to make the event run smoothly （adv. 平滑地,流畅地）, are immense （adj.巨大的，广大的，口＞非常好的）.The conscientious （adj. 认真的, 谨慎的, 负责的） attention to detail will be evident to the spectators （n. 观众,目击者） of this event. I can imagine the excitement and emotions of the family today.The time is near. The ceremony will begin in 3 short hours. The bride will be 2/50 页radiant （adj. 发光的,明亮的,辐射的） as she comes down the aisle （n.侧廊，（席位间的）通道）escorted （vt.护送，陪伴n.护送者，护航舰，陪伴者）by her father. She will wear her grandmother's pearls （n.珍珠v.（用珍珠）装饰,呈珍珠状adj.珍珠般的）as an accessory （n附件，配件，同谋adj.辅助的，附属的，同谋的）.Her veil （n.面纱,面罩,掩饰物vt.使戴面纱，遮蔽vi.戴面纱）will be the same one as her cousin （n.堂（或表）兄弟姐妹） wore last year. As is customary, under her garments （n.衣月服vt.给…披上衣月服，覆上...）she will wear a blue garter （n.吊袜带vt.用吊带系紧）.As part of the tradition of Canadian weddings, she will be wearing something old （the pearls）, something new （her gown（n. 长袍, 长外衣））, something borrowed （the veil） and something blue （the garter）.As the first chords （n.弦,和弦，情绪）of the wedding march are played （a melody familiar to all）, the congregation （n. 教堂会众, 人群,（物）群，集合）will rise. Gasps （v.喘气，喘息，渴望n.喘气） will be heard as they catch a glimpse （n. 一瞥, 一闪, 略微, 隐约感觉v.瞥见）of the bride in her gorgeous （adj.华丽的，灿烂的, 极好的） wedding gown. The mother of the bride will calmly （adv.平静地，安静地，冷静地）view this whole event, though tears will blur （v.弄脏，使…模糊n.污点，模糊）her vision. She will be overcome with sentiment （n. 情绪, 感情, 观点, 感伤） at her daughter's apparent happiness. The picture will be one that will embody （vt. 使具体化,包含,代表,使（精神）肉体化） hope for the future of humanity. As the couple exchange wedding vows （n.誓约v.发誓）they will be affirming （vt. 证实, 断言, 肯定） their love and making a commitment （n. 承诺,保证, 信奉,献身,委任,交押） to each other. All the spectators are there to wish them well. As the time approaches, I think back to other family weddings over many years. My older sisters were all married in the same church and as brides they carried a white Bible （n.圣经，有权威的书）decorated with tiny （adj.极小的，微小的）roses. The receptions （n接待，反应，接待处，欢迎，接收, 招待会） for their weddings were all held in the same church basement, as there was no large banquet （n宴会vi.参加宴会vt.宴请,设宴） hall in the local area. The feast （n. 宴会, 酒席,节会v.享乐，款宴，请客）was usually catered （v.提供饮食及服务，迎合, 满足） by a group of church members. Today's wedding reception will be held in an arena （n. 竞技场） that will be decorated with just the right amount of fall flowers in wonderful arrays部署，穿着，排列（n.数组）to give it dignity （n.尊严,高贵，端庄）yet a touch of glamour （n.魔力，魅力v迷住）.The table decorations （n.装饰品）will be a masterpiece （n. 杰作）.One of the table decorations will be small pumpkins, used as containers for flowers that were collected from family gardens, surrounded by a large wreath （n.花圈，花环,花冠）made from long stalks （n. 茎，梗n.跟踪,高视阔步v.悄悄靠近，跟踪,蔓延,高视阔步地走） of wheat. There will be a few coloured leaves placed inside the wreath. Maybe they will use oak （n. 橡树,橡木） and maple （n. 枫树，械树）leaves to show the splendour （n.光彩，显赫，辉煌，壮丽,华丽） of the autumn colours. The colour of the outfits （n. 配备, 用具, 机构vt. 配备, 供应vi. 得到装备） that the bridesmaids （n.女傧相）are wearing will befall colours as well. The ingenious （adj. 机灵的, 精制的, 有独创性的） decorations will be appreciated （vt.欣赏，赏识，感激vt.领会，充分意识vi. 增值）by the many guests attending the festivities （n. 欢宴,欢庆）. At each place setting there will be a special paper napkin （n. 餐巾,一小块布或毛巾,卫生巾） with the bride and groom's name printed on it and the date of their wedding. It will be carefully folded placed on top and of a linen （n. 亚麻布,亚麻线,亚麻制品adj.亚麻布制的，亚麻的）napkin. This will be one of the souvenirs （n.纪念品）the guests will have to commemorate （vt. 纪念） the special wedding day. Also at each place will be a few after dinner mints （n.薄荷,造币厂，巨额vt.铸造,铸币，伪造adj.薄荷的，造币厂的，无损坏的）for the guests. A miniature tree will also be placed at each persons place. The intent （adj. 热切的, 专心的，决心的n.意图，目的，意向，含义）is for the guests to take the little tree home and 3/50 页transplant it to a special place. In this way, our environment is also improved and the tree will become a living tribute to （n. 贡品,称赞,敬意,礼物） the young couple. The groom will carry her across the threshold （n.门槛, 开端, 界限, 入口） as is customary for a young couple as they begin their new life together. The honeymoon （n. 蜜月vi. 度蜜月） plans will take them to the west coast of Canada. They will have a week of privacy （n. 隐居, 隐私, 秘密, 私生活）far away from friends and family. They will inhabit 占据,栖息） a condominium （n.（独立产权的）公寓, 共管, 国际共管） in the town of （v. 居住于,Whistler, British Columbia, in the Rocky Mountains. They will feel as if they are royalty （n. 皇家,皇族n.版税） living in a mansion （n. 大厦, 宅邸, 公寓） in this little bit of paradise （n.天堂）on earth. Thereafter, they will return home to Ontariowhere they will reside （vi. 居住, 属于, 存在）. Their original plan to spend their honeymoon on board a yacht （n.游艇，快艇vi.驾快艇）in the Mediterranean Sea （地中海）was abandoned when world circumstances dictated （vi.听写vt. 口授, 规定n.命令,指挥，指令）that our country Canada was a safer choice. Earlier this month, as I thought about the forthcoming marriage, and knew that I would be unable to attend, I decided to write a message to the young couple. The intent was that the message would be read aloud during the wedding reception. In the message, I wished them well and urged them to cherish each other every day. （1083 words） 4/50 页UNIT 2 Let's Dress Up--It's Halloween From early childhood getting dressed up is connected with a special pastime（丫肖遣, 娱乐）in North America, called Halloween. Halloween is celebrated on the last night of October, when the air is crisp 脆的, 易碎的and snow is not far off. Every young child is acquainted with this exciting tradition. On the last day of October when dinner is finished, children hurry to dress up in a costume. Darkness comes early at this time of year and caution must be practiced, foremost by the children who are going from house to house,“trick or treat Parents warn their children not to dart 飞奔, 投掷out in front of cars. In all the excitement it is easy for children to become distracted 心烦意乱的and ignore safety rules. Planning what your costume will be, ahead of time, is part of the fun of the evening. Many mothers will spend time fabricating 制作, 构成, 捏造, 伪造, 虚构outfits 用具, 配备, 机构, 全套装配, for their little girls who suddenly turn into circus clowns, beautiful ballet dancers or weird 怪异的, 超自然的, 神秘的, 不可思议的, 超乎事理之外的colorful bugs. Fathers may help their sons construct a costume of foil armor. Little boys often enjoy pretending they are in the army so on Halloween it is possible to see squads of lieutenants and sergeants marching along in the dark. We affiliate （使...）加入, 接受为会员this celebration with the supernatural so some children may choose to wear a skeleton costume bearing a skull and crossbones, or even a monster 怪物, 妖怪costume. The choice of wardrobe for the evening is really limitless. Witches can be seen riding on broomsticks across well-illuminated intersections. Earlier in the evening they may have concocted a witch's brew to quench their thirst for their arrival home. Ghosts can be heard groaning and moaning while they glide along city streets. Beautiful butterflies flutter by on their way to a party. Pirates carrying swords and pistols roam about, patches over one eye. Small aliens search for a new home here on Earth. Wearing a cape and mask allows a child to become Superman for a few hours and enter the world of fantasy. An ethnic flavor is introduced as a band of gypsies dance along under a bright full moon. Of course you can always see a certain number of Native American costumes, the buckskin jackets and dresses decorated with fringe and beads. Some youngsters choose to decorate only their faces with grease paint instead ofwearing masks. In many ways this is safer for a child, making visibility clearer. At the same time a mask allows them to remain anonymous to all but their closest friends. Usually, on the night before Halloween, family members gather together to carve a pumpkin. On Halloween night the candle lit face of the pumpkin shines from each home welcoming the little ghosts and goblins to call. Parents usually escort small children around their own neighborhood helping to keep them safe. Small children only visit random houses, their parent's friends mostly, while older children knock at every door. 5/50 页。
