6LESSON 3 MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS
I still remember the last Christmas Granny spent with us.[1]It began in the middle of November on a cold, windy day.I remember the wind because Granny's grey hair was a mess① when she arrived.That was also the day Granny moved in②.Somehow③， at the time, I didn't know she was sick.Maybe I was too young, maybe she hid it too well, or maybe I was just too excited that Christmas was on the way④.
After Granny moved in, she spent most of her time on the brown sofa by the fire⑤.Sometimes she was quiet, but she seemed happy.When I wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him about the presents I wanted, Granny made an effort to⑥ help me.[2]Her hand was slightly⑦ shaky, but she wrote “Father Christmas, the North Pole⑧” on the envelope⑨.
In December, our excitement grew each day — lights appeared in the streets, Christmas cards arrived, and there was snow everywhere.Granny and I made sugar biscuits, stuffed⑩ the turkey and then I sat on my granny's lap and we sang Christmas songs.My favourite song was Frosty the Snowman and I loved the bit that went “Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, look at Frosty go！” Granny had patience to sing it over and over again.
On Christmas Eve ， Granny took a seat by the fire as we put up the Christmas tree.[3]I hung most of the decorations on the branches .
“That's the most beautiful tree I've ever seen，[4]”Granny said.
Then she started singing, “Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree, you fill my heart with music...”
Before bed, Granny and I left a plate of sugar biscuits out for Father Christmas, and put a stocking at the end of my bed.I remember Granny sitting on my bed and singing softly until I fell asleep.
[1]Granny spent with us为定语从句，修饰先行词Christmas，省略了关系代词which/that。
[2]句中When引导时间状语从句，从句中telling him about the presents I wanted为动词的 ing形式作状语，其中I wanted为省略了关系代词的定语从句，修饰先行词the presents，关系代词在从句中作宾语时可省略。
[3] as we put up the Christmas tree为as引导的时间状语从句。
[4] I've ever seen为省略了that/which的定语从句，先行词被最高级所修饰，定语从句一般用现在完成时。

[译文参考]
我仍记得奶奶和我们一起度过的最后一个圣诞节。 它开始于11月中旬的一个寒风刺骨的日子。 我记得那天的风，因为奶奶到达时她的灰头发乱作一团。 那天也是奶奶搬进来的日子。 不知道为什么，当时我并不知道她病了。 或许是因为我太小了，或许是她隐藏得太好了，或许可能是我对圣诞节的到来太兴奋了。
奶奶搬过来以后，大多数时间都待在炉火旁棕色的沙发上。 有时她很安静，但她看起来很高兴。当我写信给圣诞老人，告诉他我想要的礼物时，奶奶尽力帮助我。 她的手有点发抖，但她在信封上写上了“圣诞老人，北极”。
到了12月，我们的兴奋与日俱增——街上的彩灯都亮起来了，圣诞卡片也都收到了，当然还有随处可见的雪景。 奶奶和我做了糖饼干，给火鸡填了馅，然后我坐在奶奶的腿上，我们一起唱圣诞歌。 我最喜欢的歌是《雪人 雪孩子 》，我喜欢那伴随着“砰砰砰，砰砰砰砰，看弗罗斯蒂走！”的节拍。奶奶耐心地一遍又一遍地唱。
在平安夜，奶奶靠着炉火坐着，我们把圣诞树立起来。 我把大部分的装饰品都挂在树枝上。
“那是我见过的最漂亮的树，”奶奶说。
然后她开始唱：“哦，圣诞树，哦，圣诞树，你用音乐填满了我的心……”

午餐晚了，但这是一件吵闹而又令人兴奋的大事。 我们戴上傻傻的纸帽子，吃塞有土豆的大火鸡，随后又吃圣诞布丁。大卫在嘴里塞了太多布丁，以至于都吞不下去了。
“布丁怎么样？”奶奶问。
“唔，唔，唔，”大卫说。
凯斯姑妈不觉得有趣，但我们其他人都觉得有趣。 奶奶开怀大笑，连纸帽子都掉了下来。
那个圣诞节后的几个星期，奶奶去世了。 但我经常想起她，尤其是在圣诞节。 每年，我都会拿出她送给我的音乐盒。在里面我保存着奶奶的纸帽子和她在那个圣诞节帮我写的信。 几年前，当我不再相信圣诞老人的存在时，妈妈把这封信还给了我。当我思考着是什么让圣诞节如此吸引人时，脑海中浮现的不仅仅是圣诞礼物和圣诞老人，还有我对奶奶的追忆。 现在我每年都做糖饼干，而且我总是做一个G形的饼干——G代表奶奶。

(Text 4)
W：Last March, my father turned 90 years old.As usual, I planned a birthday party for him, and this party was the biggest and the best!
Every spring my father would plant trees, and that had become my father's hobby and quickly became a family project.We all felt happy planting trees with him.
When his birthday arrived, this wonderful 90 year old man continued this tradition.During his birthday party, he put on his gloves and began to dig! Soon everyone at the party was digging.From the oldest to the youngest, everyone had a chance to help by digging or watering the tree.About 40 minutes later, the tree was planted and pictures were taken! I will forever remember that day.
Six weeks after that great day, my dad passed away.When I sit and quietly look at the tree, I think of my dad.He's here with me.We planted a tree, and we also planted a good memory for me and for my children and grandchildren.

[我的发现]
1．被动语态一般由“助动词be＋及物动词的过去分词”构成。
2．助动词 be 本身无词义，但有人称、数和时态的变化。
一、语法图解
二、语法突破
1．概念
语态是动词的一种形式，它表示句子的主语和谓语动词之间的关系。语态通常分为主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者，被动语态则表示主语是动作的承受者。
2．构成
被动语态一般由“助动词be＋及物动词的过去分词”构成。助动词 be 本身无词义，但有人称、数和时态的变化。
时态 构成形式
一般现在时 am/is/are＋done
一般过去时 was/were＋done
一般将来时 be going to/will/shall＋be done
现在进行时 am/is/are＋being done
过去进行时 was/were＋being done
现在完成时 have/has＋been done
过去完成时 had＋been done
含情态动词 情态动词＋be done

These books may be kept for two weeks.
这些书可以借两周。(含情态动词)
[名师点津] “get＋过去分词”构成被动语态
这种结构多用在口语中，强调动作的结果，动作的执行者一般不指出来。
It is said that the singer got hurt on her way back home.
据说那位歌手在回家的路上受伤了。
[即时演练1] 单句语法填空/补全句子

编者寄语：春节是中国的一个重要传统节日。它有着独特的意义。但是，不同的人，包括文化背景不同的人，可能对春节有着不同的理解。这是我们杂志的三位读者的叙述，分享了他们关于春节的经历和看法。
汤姆·詹金斯
16岁，交换生，居住在南京,这是我第一次在中国和我的寄宿家庭一起过春节。每个中国家庭都十分重视春节。准备工作从节前一周开始。首先，房子从上到下都打扫了一遍。我的房东妈妈陈太太说这是清除过去一年的积尘，为新的一年做准备。
接下来，我们把汉字“福”倒贴在我们的前门上。人们相信将“福”字倒着贴，福就会到来。这个字看起来很酷。
最让人兴奋的是除夕夜。烟花在城市上空燃放，瞬间照亮了夜空。孩子们虽捂着耳朵，脸上却充满期待的表情。陈太太说这是为了吓跑年兽。烟花很有趣！然后我们坐在一起享受丰盛的晚餐，大家互相祝福新年快乐。

I usually start planning my trip home to Shanxi weeks before Spring Festival, as train tickets or flights have to be booked as early as possible.[5]I take great care in choosing gifts for my parents.This year, I bought a bottle of wine for my father and a beautiful sweater for my mother.
Every year，the moment I get on the train, I am surrounded by Shanxi accents [6] — I know that I am heading home to my family.I don't get to travel back to Shanxi very often, so when I get home, my parents will fill me in on what's been happening[7] — who has got married or had children or gone away to university.It's great to hear what everyone's been up to .
We usually have hotpot — it's so tasty! However, what we eat isn't the most important thing.What's important is who we eat it with.[8]It's a wonderful thing to be back together with my family and talk of old times.When I was a kid, Spring Festival was all about firecrackers， sweets and decorations.As I get older, coming home and being with my entire family is the most important part of it.[9]

徐刚
28岁，计算机工程师，在上海工作
因为必须尽早预订火车票或机票，所以我通常在春节前几周就开始计划回山西的行程。我非常细心地为父母挑选礼物。今年，我给父亲买了一瓶葡萄酒，给母亲买了一件漂亮的毛衣。
每年，一坐上火车，我就会被山西方言包围，我意识到我踏上了回家的路。我不能经常回山西，因此每年回到家，我父母会把这一年发生的事一股脑儿地告诉我，谁结婚了，谁有小孩了，谁上大学了，等等。很高兴知道大家都在做什么。
我们通常会吃火锅，很好吃！但是，吃什么不是最重要的，重要的是和谁一起吃。和我的家人一起回到过去，谈论过去是一件很美好的事。当我还是个孩子的时候，春节就是爆竹、糖果和装饰品。随着年龄的增长，回家和全家人团聚则成了春节最重要的一部分。
Li Yan
a_70 year old_grandmother_from_Heilongjiang
Spring Festival is family time for us.My husband and I are both retired.We do not see our children and grandchildren very often and we miss them a lot.Weeks before Spring Festival, we start getting ready for their homecoming.Things start to get really busy.We think about what the children would like to eat, what we need to buy and what dishes need to be prepared.[10]
Our house buzzes with activities when everyone comes home.Our grandchildren run around shouting and playing[11], and the adults gather around the table to talk about the past year.Great fun is also enjoyed in the kitchen as jiaozi are being made.We always have jiaozi during this time, as they mean something special on this occasion — they are a sign ofour wishes for health and happiness in the coming year.To me, this is Spring Festival－the joy of a family gathering.
Throughout history， some of the original customs have changed, but the spirit of the festival — the spirit of family — has largely been kept.Most of the important Spring Festival traditions are still being practised by people across the country.

李燕
70岁，一位奶奶，居住在黑龙江
春节是我们的家庭时间。我和丈夫都退休了。我们不经常见到我们的孩子和孙子孙女，所以非常想念他们。春节前几周，我们开始为他们回家做准备。日子开始变得忙碌起来。我们琢磨孩子们喜欢吃什么，我们需要买什么，需要准备什么菜。
当每个人都回到家时，我们的房子里充满着欢声笑语。孙子孙女们一边跑一边喊一边玩，大人们围在桌子旁谈论过去的一年。厨房里也很有趣，因为正在包饺子。在这段时间里，我们通常是吃饺子，因为它在这个场合有一些特殊的意义——它是我们期望来年健康和幸福的标志。对我来说，这就是春节——一家人其乐融融地团聚在一起。
纵观历史，很多原有的习俗已经改变了，但是春节的精神——家庭精神——在很大程度上被保留下来了。全国各地的人们仍在践行着大部分重要的春节传统。

W：Mother's Day is a festival for mothers.It's on the second Sunday in May every year in many countries.On that day, many people like to buy some nice presents for their mothers.But I think the best present for your mother is to give her a day off because she is always very busy every day.In the morning, she goes to work.After work, she has to go to the market, cook dinner, wash dishes, clean the house and do many other things.Usually she is working while you and your father are sleeping! So on Mother's Day, you should let your mother get up late in the morning.You can make breakfast in the kitchen with your father.After the breakfast is ready, you can carry it to your mother's bedroom so that she can have it in bed.After that, ask your mother to do what she likes doing: shopping, taking photos in the park, drinking tea with her friends, swimming or visiting her friends.It's good to make a nice Mother's Day dinner or take her to a nice restaurant.Make your mother happy and feel your love on this day!
