One possible version:
In modern society, many youngsters attach much importance to western festivals; thus traditional Chinese festivals are becoming less popular with them.However, in my view, traditional Chinese festivals are of great significance to us Chinese, so we must protect and maintain them.
Above all, traditional festivals enable us to learn more about fine Chinese values. Many festivals, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, have a caring, family-centred message at their heart.With the celebrations of these festivals, younger generations learn to honour fine Chinese values.What’s more, when celebrating these festivals with unique customs, we find who we are and take pride in being Chinese, which will help shape our national identity.
All in all, it is the duty of every one of us to protect traditional Chinese festivals for generations to come.Period Four Writing

1.was decorated 考查动词时态和语态。主语everywhere与decorate之间是被动关系,用被动语态,且根据前面的was可知,此处用一般过去时,故填was decorated。
2.an 考查冠词。此处表示泛指,且adventure的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
3.to see 考查非谓语动词。这里是动词不定式作目的状语,故填to see。
4.really 考查副词。此处修饰动词understand,应用副词,故填really。
5.in 考查介词。be lost in sth是固定搭配,意为“沉浸于某物”,故填in。
6.tasty 考查形容词。此处用形容词修饰名词dumplings,故填tasty。
7.smells 考查动词时态和主谓一致。此句表示经常和习惯性的动作,每次过新年都是这样,所以句子用一般现在时,且主语是the air,是第三人称单数,故填smells。
8.loneliness 考查名词。此处用名词作宾语,故填loneliness。
9.having 考查非谓语动词。此处international students与have之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,应使用现在分词,故填having。
10.that/which 考查定语从句。空前experience是先行词,指物,关系词代替先行词在后面的定语从句中作宾语,故填that/which。

Ⅳ.【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者的姐姐告诉作者世界上没有圣诞老人,作者跑到奶奶那里想要听奶奶说实话,结果奶奶把作者带到一个商店,给了作者10美元,让作者给有需要的人买东西,于是作者给班里坐在自己后面的Bobby Decker买了一件红色的外套。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上,奶奶帮我用圣诞包装纸把外套包好。”可知,第一段可描写作者和奶奶去给Bobby Decker送外套的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“奶奶和我屏息等待Bobby Decker家的前门打开。”可知,第二段可描写Bobby Decker收到外套后的反应,以及事后作者的内心活动,作者为自己的所作所为感到非常自豪,决定永远做圣诞老人的帮手。
2.续写线索:包好外套—放下礼物,躲进车里—Bobby惊讶—Bobby感谢圣诞老人—作者感到自豪—感悟。
One possible version:
That evening, Grandma helped me wrap (包裹) the coat in Christmas paper. She wrote “To Bobby, from Santa Claus” on it, after which she drove me over to Bobby’s house, explaining I was officially one of the Santa’s helpers. Grandma parked down the street from Bobby’s house, and I took a deep breath, dashing for his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas present down, pounded on his doorbell and then I hid in the car with my grandma.
Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open. Finally, it opened. Out went Bobby Decker. Seeing the coat in the bag, he glanced around and looked quite astonished. Seconds later, he called his mother to go out for a check. Hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus, I felt very proud of what I had done. At that moment, I even made up my mind to be Santa’s helper forever. It was on that night that I realized the truth that a person who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas presents under the tree.Period Four Writing

Dear Editor,
Hearing the news that some cities will permit people to set off fireworks and firecrackers at any given time and place during the Spring Festival, I cannot agree more.
Firstly, setting off fireworks and firecrackers in the Spring Festival is one of the Chinese traditions, which greatly adds to the atmosphere of the festival. And without it, it just won’t feel like Spring Festival. Secondly, setting off fireworks and firecrackers will make people relaxed after a year’s hard work, inspiring them with hope for the new year.
Of course, as setting off fireworks and firecrackers is dangerous and pollutes the environment, we must be very careful when lighting them and strictly follow the rules. Only in this way can we enjoy a safe and happy Spring Festival while keeping the tradition alive.

Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. “No Santa Claus ” she shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it. Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.”
“Go where, grandma ” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money, and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s.
I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs Pollock’s grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for break during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I chose a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.

【思路点拨】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的姐姐告诉作者世界上没有
圣诞老人，作者跑到奶奶那里想要听奶奶说实话，结果奶奶把作者带到一个商
店，给了作者10美元，让作者给有需要的人买东西，于是作者给班里坐在自己
后面的Bobby Decker买了一件红色的外套。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，奶奶帮我用圣诞包装纸把外套包好。”可知，
第一段可描写作者和奶奶去给Bobby Decker送外套的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“奶奶和我屏息等待Bobby Decker家的前门打开。”可
知，第二段可描写Bobby Decker收到外套后的反应，以及事后作者的内心活
动，作者为自己的所作所为感到非常自豪，决定永远做圣诞老人的帮手。
2.续写线索：包好外套—放下礼物，躲进车里—Bobby惊讶—Bobby感谢圣诞
老人—作者感到自豪—感悟。
One possible version:
That evening, Grandma helped me wrap (包裹) the coat in
Christmas paper. She wrote “To Bobby, from Santa Claus” on it,
after which she drove me over to Bobby's house, explaining I was
officially one of the Santa's helpers. Grandma parked down the
street from Bobby's house, and I took a deep breath, dashing for
his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the
Christmas present down, pounded on his doorbell and then I hid
in the car with my grandma.
Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker's front
door to open. Finally, it opened. Out went Bobby Decker. Seeing
the coat in the bag, he glanced around and looked quite
astonished. Seconds later, he called his mother to go out for a
check. Hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus, I felt very
proud of what I had done. At that moment, I even made up my
mind to be Santa's helper forever. It was on that night that I
realized the truth that a person who has no Christmas in his heart
will never find Christmas presents under the tree.
