Mid-Autumn Festival
We celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th in the lunar calendar. It is like Thanksgiving Day. Our family get together. On that day we give thanks to our parents for a lovely meal. We eat moon cakes. We have all kinds of moon cakes, such as moon cakes with fruit, with meat and with vegetables. I think they are delicious. In the evening, we watch the moon in the open air. The moon looks brighter and rounder on that evening. It's also fun to listen to the story of Chang'e. We are very happy on that day.
单元语法聚焦三

名词所有格及when引导的时间状语从句
/ 用法点睛
一、名词所有格
1．名词所有格表示名词之间的所属关系，有's所有格、of所有格和双重所有格三种。
2．'s所有格常用于有生命的名词及某些表示时间、距离、国家等无生命的名词。当表示两人共同拥有某人或某物时，只需在最后一个人的名字后加“'s”。以s结尾的复数名词，只加“'”构成所有格。
3．of所有格既可用于有生命的人或物，也可用于无生命的东西。
4．双重所有格表示特定人的不特定的所有关系，也可表达特殊的情感。
二、when引导的时间状语从句
1．when表示“当……时候”，说明主句动作发生的时间背景。when既可表示某一时间点，也可表示某一段时间。在when引导的时间状语从句中，其谓语动词可以是延续性的，也可以是非延续性的，可与主句中的谓语动词同时发生，也可在其后发生。
2．主句为一般将来时，是祈使句或含有情态动词时，从句用一般现在时。
3．表示过去的事实时，主句和从句都用过去时。
/ 经典例题
1．Mary won in the________ race last week.
A．woman's 400-metres B．women's 400-metre
C．woman's 400-metre D．women's 400-metres
[解析] B woman作定语修饰复数名词时用其复数形式；“数词-名词”是复合形容词，其中的名词用单数。故选B。
2．________ fathers can't go to the class meeting because they have gone on business.
A．Jack and Mike's B．Jack's and Mike's
C．Jack and Mike D．Jack's and Mike
[解析] B 此题考查's所有格。当表示各自所有时，需在每个名词后加“'s”；当表示共同所有时，只需在最后一个名词后加“'s”。由fathers可知选B。
3．[2018·荆州]—There is always a smile on your face. Isn't there any trouble in your life?
—Yes, there is. But life is like a mirror. ________ you smile at it, it will smile back.
A．When B．Before C．Until D．After
[解析] A 考查连词的辨析。when意为“当……时候”；before意为“在……之前”；until意为“直到……才”；after意为“在……之后”。由本句句意“但是生活就像一面镜子，当你朝着它微笑的时候，它也会报以微笑”可知，表示“当……时候”，应用when。故选 A。

During the exhibition “New Year Greetings—Celebrating the Spring Festival in the Forbidden City”， some cultural relics(遗物) were on show to welcome the upcoming Chinese Lunar New Year in the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. Starting from 6 January, 2019, this exhibition lasted for about 3 months and it showed royal traditions of the Spring Festival during the Qing Dynasty.

Millions of people come here during the Spring Festival and they always find something special. When you go through the front gate, there are two pictures on the door and they're “door__gods”. Many people think the two gods can keep off all the evil spirits. You can see red lanterns, too. All the walls and doors of the Forbidden City are red, because the emperors(皇帝) hoped red can bring good luck for them. The emperor Qianlong is famous in Chinese history. Many people like to visit his “home office” that is also called the throne room(金銮殿). Sometimes emperors organized Lunar New Year's fairs in the Forbidden City to know how common people spent their holidays.However, the “vendors”(商贩) were actually actors. Nowadays, during this exhibition, about 150 Chinese time-honoured(历史悠久的) brands are exhibited at the fair in the Palace Museum. This time the vendors are true.
