Hanukkah (光明节) is a Jewish festival. It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev
(犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. It is often called the festival of lights. The festival
celebrates the time, over 2，000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would
not let them follow their own traditions and religion. When the Jewish people won back their temple in
Jerusalem, they found there was only little holy oil to keep the sacred light burning for one day. However,
to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights until the people
had time to make more oil.
At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles.
On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another
candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the
synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for
family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greeting cards, and children go to parties.
Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional
Hanukkah food.

A．Jewish month of Kislev B．Jewish traditions and religion

Thanksgiving is an important festival in North America. We interviewed several students from the US
and Canada. Here is what they have told us about their Thanksgiving experiences.
Josie from New York, USA
“In America, Thanksgiving is celebrated every year at the end of November. It is to remember the first
group of people from Europe to live in America. When they first arrived, they found the environment
strange. But they learned to survive after some native American friends showed them how to grow and find
food. Thanksgiving is meant to be a traditional celebration.”
Todd from California, USA
“Thanksgiving is the first day of Christmas shopping. That means we have four weeks to buy
Christmas presents for our families and friends. For me and my friends, the most important part of the
festival is the big football game on TV. The match is watched by millions of people all over America.
Thanksgiving is seen as an exciting day for football！”
Ian from Saskatoon, Canada
“In Canada, Thanksgiving is held on the second Monday in October. On the Sunday before
Thanksgiving Day, many people go to church. Thanks is given for all the good things that happened to
them during the year. I always give thanks for the nice big turkey I'm going to have at the family dinner!
Like all festivals, Thanksgiving is about food！”
Katie from Maritimes, Canada
“On Thanksgiving Day, we have dinner with all our cousins, aunts and uncles. It is always very busy.
Sometimes we have two Thanksgiving dinners because we go to both our grandparents' houses. The dinner
is usually attended by more than twenty people at each house! My mother and my aunts do all the cooking
but the washingup is done by me and my cousins. And that's not an easy job! But I don't mind because
Thanksgiving is meant to be a time to give thanks.”

Ⅲ.任务型阅读
While many people are accessible by email, sometimes it is difficult to determine how exactly to write
an email to them. Here are some tips for you to follow.
Write an appropriate subject line. The subject line should tell the recipient (接收者) immediately
what the email is about. 1.________ Remember that your wording also has to be brief.
2．________ It is best to be more formal rather than informal, so when writing to someone you have
never met or written to before, a “Dear Jane Smith” is appropriate. When addressing someone whom you
are a little familiar with, a “Dr. Smith” is okay until they tell you to address them by their first name, in
which case a simple “Jane” will be okay.
3．________ Within the first two sentences of your email, your recipient should know exactly why
you are writing to them. Sometimes an introduction may have to precede (先于) the sentence that states
why you are writing, and sometimes it has to follow.
Use appropriate language. You may be used to using informal language in certain social settings.
4.________Even when dealing with colleagues or friends you are familiar with, do not immediately fall
back on informal language.
Keep it simple. People may get dozens and even hundreds of emails a day. 5.________ In that way,
they can save much of their time when reading emails.
A．Use proper greetings.
B．Express your ideas clearly.
C．State your purpose at the beginning.
D．Be as specific as possible when writing the subject.
E．However, an email may not be the best place to use such language.
F．It is important to check the language to avoid spelling and grammar mistakes.
G．It is always easier for them if you keep your email as short and brief as possible.
