added material:
thanksgiving day
fourth thursday in november is celebrated as ‘thanksgiving day’ people thank god for his blessings. people can ‘thank’ friends, foes and anyone for the experiences, happiness and sunshine they bring into their lives. pilgrims celebrated the first thanksgiving day in america during the second winter in the new world. the first winter had been bad as nearly half of the people had perished due to lack of food and bad weather. but the following year, with the help of indians who showed them how to plant indian corn, the pilgrims had successful harvest. governor william bradford decided that december 13, 1621 be set aside for feasting and prayer. the indians were invited to share the festival. since than, thanksgiving day is been celebrated in america. however, it was only in 1941, the congress in a joint resolution named the fourth sunday in november as the official thanksgiving day.
dating back, it is known that the council thought to appoint and set apart the 29th day of june, as a day of solemn thanksgiving and praise to god for his goodness and favour. the first thanksgiving proclamation was however on june 20, 1676. the governing council of charlestown, massachusetts, held a meeting to determine how best to express thanks for the good fortune that had seen their community securely established. by unanimous vote they instructed edward rawson, the clerk, to proclaim june 29 as a day of thanksgiving, it is also known that the pilgrims set ground at plymouth rock on december 11, 1620. their first winter was devastating. at the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the mayflower. but the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. and the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast -- including 91 indians who had helped the pilgrims survive their first year. it is believed that the pilgrims would not have made it through the year without the help of the natives the feast was more of a traditional english harvest festival than a true “thanksgiving” observance. it lasted three days.
thanksgiving, as we know it today, has come a long way from the pilgrims harvest festival in 1621. it is an event that seems, as each year goes by, to reinvent itself and to expand its meaning to larger vistas. maybe this is the real significance of the occasion; for as we continue to change and grow as a people, there are an increasing number of things for which we can be thankful.
halloween
the ancient druids 督伊德教(古代高卢人与不列颠人的一种宗教)的教徒 who inhabited what we now call great britain placed great importance on the passing of one season to the next, holding “fire festivals” which were celebrated for three days (two days on either side of the day itself). one of these festivals was called samhain (pronounced sha-von) and it took place on october 31 through to november 1. during this period, it was believed that the boundaries between our world and the world of the dead were weakened, allowing spirits of the recently dead to cross over and possess the living. in order to make themselves and their homes less inviting to these wayward spirits, the ancient celts（凯尔特人）would douse （插入水中, 把弄熄, 弄湿）all their fires. there was also a secondary purpose to this, after extinguishing all their fires, they would re-light them from a common source, the druidic fire that was kept burning at usinach, in the middle of ireland.
samhain was considered to be a gateway not only from the land of the dead to the land of the living, but also between summer and fall/winter. for the druids, this was the last gasp （喘息, 气喘）of summer (it was also the celtic new year), so therefore they made sure it went out with a bang before they had to button down （把...弄清楚）for the winter ahead.
they would dress up in bizarre costumes and parade through their villages causing destruction in order to scare off any recently departed souls who might be prowling （巡游）for bodies to inhabit, in addition to burning animals and other offerings to the druidic deities（神, 神性）. it is also a popular belief that they would burn people who they believed to be possessed, but this has largely been debunked （揭穿, 拆穿假面具, 暴露）as myth.
this tradition was later brought to the north american continent by irish immigrants who were escaping the potato famine in their homeland. in addition to the festival itself, the immigrants brought several customs with them, including one of the symbols most commonly associated with halloween -- the jack o lantern.
according to irish folklore, there once lived a man named jack who was known for being a drunk and a prankster（顽皮的人, 爱开玩笑的人）. one night jack tricked the devil into climbing a tree, and quickly carved an image of a cross on the trunk, trapping the devil. jack then made him promise that, in exchange for letting him out of the tree, the devil would never tempt him to sin again. he reluctantly agreed, but was able to exact his revenge upon jacks death. because of his mischievous ways in life, jack was barred from entering heaven and because of his earlier trick, he was also barred from hell. so he was doomed to wander the earth until the end of time, with only a single ember（灰烬, 余烬） (carried in a hollowed out turnip.[植]芜箐, 芜箐甘蓝) to warm him and light his way. in ireland, they originally also used turnips for their “jack lanterns”, but upon arriving in the new world, they discovered that pumpkins were abundant and easier to carve out.
easter
on good friday, jesus christ was executed by crucifixion. his body was taken down from the cross, and buried in a cave. the tomb was guarded and an enormous stone was put over the entrance, so that no-one could steal the body. on the following sunday, some women visited the grave and found that the stone had been moved, and that the tomb was empty. jesus himself was seen that day, and for days afterwards by many people. his followers realised that god had raised jesus from the dead.
hot cross buns
hot cross buns are still made all over england around easter time. at one time, buns with a cross on them were made all through lent. they were banned by oliver cromwell and brought back again at the time of the restoration. for a time they were only available on good friday but now they can be bought during the month leading up to easter. whole meal hot cross buns are becoming more popular each year.
the easter egg
as with the easter bunny and the holiday itself, the easter egg predates the christian holiday of easter. the exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuries old when easter was first celebrated by christians.
from the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of rebirth in most cultures. eggs were often wrapped in gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored brightly by boiling them with the leaves or petals of certain flowers.
today, children hunt colored eggs and place them in easter baskets along with the modern version of real easter eggs -- those made of plastic or chocolate candy.
o-bon festival
bon dance
during o-bon, bon odori (folk dances) are held all over japan. the kind of dance varies from area to area. people wearing yukata (summer kimono) go to the neighborhood shrine, temple, or park and dance around a yagura (stage) set up there. anyone can participate in the dance. join the circle and imitate what others are doing. awa odori of tokushima and bon odori at yasukuni shrine, tokyo are very famous.
also, toro nagashi (floating paper lanterns) are held in some areas. on the evening of the 15th, people send off ancestors spirits with a paper lantern, lit by a candle inside and floated down a river to the ocean. fireworks displays (hanabi-taikai) are often held during o-bon. it is a typical japanese summer scene to see hanabi.
since o-bon is an important family gathering time, many people return to their hometowns during o-bon. most businesses are closed during this time. although it is crowded everywhere, it is common for many people take trips during o-bon, too. the beginning and end of o-bon are marked with terrible traffic jams. airports, train stations, and highways are jammed with travelers. i recommend you do not travel around o-bon!

什么是黑洞？
就是在宇宙中有那么一些点，这些点的体积趋向于零而密度变得无穷大，由于具有强大的吸引力，物体只要进入离这个点一定距离的范围内，就会被这个强大的引力吸收掉，连光线也不例外。因此任何进入这个范围的物体都无法再逃出来，就是说，没有任何信号能够从这个范围内传出，因此这个范围的界限被称作视界，里面的情形人类无法看到。所以科学家给它起了个名字叫黑洞，英文就是black hole。 一颗燃烧尽了的恒星由于自身的重力而不断坍缩，最后就会形成黑洞。
历时30年霍金改观点 称黑洞能“吸”能“吐”
从事宇宙黑洞研究近三十年的世界天体物理学泰斗斯蒂芬霍金在前不久承认“黑洞悖论”有误之后，21号，他在爱尔兰都柏林举行的一个学术研讨会上终于就自己的新发现向外界进行了详细阐述。
黑洞是宇宙中引力极强的区域。19世纪70年代，霍金首次提出黑洞能够辐射能量的理论，但是在引入这一理论的同时，霍金也制造了物理学上的一个巨大难题，因为他认为
黑洞辐射不包含以前吸入物质的相关信息，而且随着黑洞的消失，曾经存在的黑洞的相关信息也会消失于无形。这与量子力学中认为物质信息不会完全消失的理论相矛盾。对此，过去近30年来，霍金的解释是：黑洞中的量子运动是一种特殊情况，这种说法受到了许多科学家的质疑。
如今，霍金终于改变了观点，在当天召开的学术研讨会上，霍金说，根据他的最新发现，黑洞并非只是吞噬物质。除了会在星系形成的过程中扮演重要角色外，在经过一段相当漫长的时间后，黑洞也会把一些曾被它吸入的物质信息向外界释放出来。
霍金的最新阐述被不少人称为黑洞理论的一个重要逆转。美国加州理工学院的理论物理学家约翰普雷斯基就是其中之一。20多年前，霍金提出黑洞辐射理论时，普雷斯基就一直坚持物质信息不会完全消失，当时两人还因此打赌。所以，在当天结束演讲后，霍金将一本百科全书赠予普雷斯基，作为打赌输了的代价，而普雷斯基则获得了全场的热烈掌声。
black holes
(1) what is a black hole? well, its difficult to answer this question, since the terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon are inadequate here. astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is a region of space (not a thing ) into which matter has fallen and from which nothing can escape---- not even light. so we cant see a black hole. a black hole experts a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. it is only space ---- or so we think . how can this happen?
(2) the theory is that some stars explode when their density increases to a particular point; they collapse and sometimes a supernova occurs. form earth , a supernova looks like a very bright light in the sky which shines even in the daytime. supernovae were reported by astronomers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. some people think that the star of bethlehem could have been a supernova. the collapse of a star may produce a white dwarf or a neutron star--- a star , whose matter is so dense that it continually shrinks by the force of its own gravity. but if the star is very large (much bigger than our sun) this process of shrinking may be so intense that a black hole results. imagine the earth reduced to the size of a marble, but still having the same mass and a stronger gravitational pull, and you have some idea of the force of a black hole. any matter near the black hole is sucked in. it is impossible to say what happens inside a black hole. scientists have called the boundary area around the hole the “ event horizon.” we know nothing about events which happen once objects pass this boundary. but in theory, matter must behave very differently inside the hole.
(3) for example , if a man fell into a black hole, he would think that he reached the center of it very quickly. however an observer at the event horizon would think that the man never reached the center at all. our space and time laws dont seem to apply to objects in the area of a black hole. einsteins relativity theory is the only one which can explain such phenomena , so that there is no “ absolute” time and space depend on the position of the observer. they are relative. we do not yet fully understand the implications of the relativity theory; but it is interesting that einsteins theory provided a basis for the idea of black holes before astronomers started to find some evidence for their existence. it is only recently that astronomers have begun specific research into black holes. in august 1977, a satellite was launched to gather data about the 10 million black holes which are thought t be in the milky way. and astronomers are planning a new observatory to study the individual exploding stars believed to be black holes.
(4) the most convincing evidence of black holes comes from research into binary star systems. binary stars, as their name suggests ,are twin stars whose position in space affects each other. in some binary systems, astronomers have shown that there is an invisible companion star, a “partner” to the one which we can see in the sky. matter from the one we can see is being pulled towards the companion star. could this invisible star, which exerts such a great force , be a black hole? astronomers have evidence of a few other stars too, which might have black holes as companions.
(5) the story of black holes is just beginning . speculations about them are endless. there might be a massive black hole at the center on our galaxy swallowing up stars at a very rapid rate. mankind may one day meet this fate. on the other hand, scientists have suggested that very advanced technology could one day make use of the energy of black holes for mankind. these speculations sound like science fiction. but the theory of black holes in space is accepted by many serious scientists and astronomers .they show us a world which operates in a totally different way from our own and they question our most basic experience of space and time.
read the passage carefully and choose the best answer for the following questions
1) black holes are related to ____
a. geography b. astronomy c. physics d. economic
2) a black hole is ____
a. a dark star b. a large heavenly body
c. a region of space d. a great mass of matter

a. their density b. their gravity. c. their movement d. their light
4) scientists call the area around the black hole ____.
a. a white dwarf b. a supernova
c. the event horizon d. the star of bethlehem
5) according to einsteins relativity theory, there is no “absolute ” time and space. is it true or false?
a. true b. false
6) which of the following statements is not true? the story of black holes in space____
a. is accepted by many serious scientists and astronomers
b. has to some extent been proved by research into binary star system
c. is questioning our basic idea of space and time
d. sounds like science fiction
7) according to the passage , our earth may be swallowing by the black hole one day, is it true or false ?
a. true b. false
8) according to the passage , the human being one day may make use of the energy of black hole by advanced technology. is it true or false?
a. true b. false

the american continents were peopled as a result of two long-continuing immigration movements, the first from asia, and the second from europe and africa. the first movement began probably 25, 000 years ago when siberian tribes, in search of new hunting grounds or of refuge from pursuing enemies, crossed over the bering strait to alaska. by 1492, over 10-20 million people, mistakenly called indians by christopher columbus, inhabited the americans. they developed their own aboriginal cultures, which ranged from the simple to the complex, from those of the primitive tribes to the brilliant civilizations of the aztecs, the incas and the mayas. the second migration to the americas began with the expansion of europe at the start of the modern period from the 16th century.
