WHY DO WE CELEBRATE FESTIVALS
Festivals are celebrated all around the world.They have a wide range1 of origins2,such as the seasons of the year,religions,famous figures3,and important events.Every festival has its different customs and unique charms. However,no matter how different they may seem,all over the world,the spirit of sharing joy,gratitude,love,or peace is common in all festivals.
激情早读 拓视野
Of all the traditional festivals,the harvest4 festival can be found in almost every culture.This important agricultural festival takes place5 after all the crops have been gathered in6.People celebrate to show that they are grateful7 for the year’s supply of food.In ancient Egypt,the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime—the Egyptian harvest season.It featured8 a parade and a great feast with music,dancing,and sports.Today,in some European countries,people decorate9 churches10 and town halls with flowers and fruit,and get together to celebrate over a meal.During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China,families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.
Festivals are an important part of society.They reflect11 people’s wishes, beliefs12,faiths13,and attitudes towards life.They are occasions14 that allow us to relax and enjoy life,and forget about our work for a little while.They help us understand where we came from,who we are,and what to appreciate.And if you study festivals carefully,you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all.

2.“do/does/did+动词原形”强调谓语
【教材原句】The letters did,however,change as Tolkien’s children got older...
然而,随着托尔金的孩子们逐渐长大,信的内容也的确发生了变化……
“do/does/did+动词原形”结构的用法:
(1)如果强调谓语动词,则不能用强调句型,而要在动词原形前加助动词do,does或did,表示“的确,确实,真的”。
(2)这种强调结构只有一般现在时和一般过去时两种形式,且没有疑问和否定形式。
(3)do/does用于一般现在时,did用于一般过去时;do用于第一、二人称的单复数和第三人称复数,does用于第三人称单数,did用于各种人称。
(4)在祈使句中使用“do+动词原形”形式,往往不表示命令,而表示强烈的请求,有时表达更加客气的语气。
