2a What do you know about Christmas? Discuss in groups and create a mind map.
The Spirit of Christmas.
Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.
A Christmas Carol is a famous short novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself. He doesn't treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money and he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn't want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.
That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning-Christmas Day!
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!

?lie动词，意为“平躺；处于”，其过去式为lay，现在分词为lying，过去分词为lain。
【注意】lie作“说谎”讲时，其过去式为lied，过去分词为lied，现在分词为lying。
?dead形容词，意为“死的；失去生命的”。
eg：When we arrived there，we found the old man dead.我们到那儿时，发现那位老人已经死了。
【注意】die动词，意为“死”，不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。若出现表示一段时间的状语，要用be dead。
Language points
?punish动词，意为“处罚；惩罚”，常用于短语punish sb. for (doing) sth.中，意为“因(做)某事而惩罚某人”，介词for表示惩罚的原因。如果后接with或by则表示惩罚的方式或手段。
?warn动词，意为“警告；告诫”，常用于以下结构中：
warn sb. about/of sth.警告某人某事
warn sb. not to do sth.警告某人不要做某事
warn sb. against (doing) sth.警告某人不要做某事
warn sb. that...警告某人……
?end up意为“最终成为；最后处于；(以……)结束”。后接动词时，动词应用?ing形式。
辨析：lay, lie
lie的过去式与lay的现在式同形, 故极易混淆。lay是及物动词, 意为“把…置于”, 而lie是不及物动词, 意为“躺着, 平放, 位于”。前者表动作, 后者表状态。如：
He laid his dictionary on the shelf.
他把词典放在书架上。
The dictionary is lying on the shelf.
那本词典放在书架上。
