But this time,I was lucky enough to get a discounted airplane ticket.Q:How will the woman go home this summer vacationScriptIn such a mature industry with many low-fare competitors and tiny profits from operations, it is essential that airline managers identify controllable costs.In order to establish and maintain air services, airlines have a high level of fixed and operating costs: labor, fuel, airplanes, engines, spares and parts, IT services and networks, airport equipment, airport handling services, sales distribution, training, insurance, and other costs. Thus all but a few cents on the dollar in ticket sales is paid out to a wide variety of external providers or internal cost centers.Moreover, the industry is structured so that airlines often act as tax collectors. Ticket prices include a number of fees, taxes, and surcharges they have little or no control over, and these are passed through to various providers. Airlines are also responsible for carrying out governmentregulations. If airlines carry passengers without proper documents on an international flight, they are responsible for carrying them back to the originating country.Analysis of the last five years shows that all the other players in the air transport chain are far more profitable than the airlines, who collect and pass through fees and revenues to them from ticket sales. While airlines as a whole earned 6% return on capital employed, airports earned 10%, catering companies 10-13%, handling companies 11-14%, aircraft lessors 5%, aircraft manufacturers 16%, and global distribution companies more than 30%.ScriptThe air travel industry is experiencing a short-term cycle of depression, with a significant drop in passenger numbers. However, cycles are a regular part of the aviation industry, and cycles do not change the fundamentals of economic growth, globalization, and people's desire to travel. Long-term trends for air traffic growth remain healthy.The present short-term declining cycle began modestly in early 2001 with the bursting of the high-tech stock market "bubble". After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack, the normal cycle turned into an unusual downward cycle. Fear of long queues at security check points distorted the normal relationship between economic growth and air travel.Security improvements also add costs to airlines and airports, which are passed on to passengers. Short-distance travel bears a larger share of the burden because security costs are based on boardings and are a larger shareof total costs for shorter trips.In time, however, this short-term recession will end, for the relationship between traffic and economic development will once again play its role. The major driver of long-term air travel growth is economic growth. Another cause of air travel growth is globalization of trade. The Internet further promotes travel by opening up global opportunities to many more people. Airline network service improvements and declining fares lead to traffic expansion. Government deregulation enhances airline competition, which in turn encourages lower fares and more flights.Consumer confidence and business profits can have strong influences on air travel demand. Travelers treat air travel in the same way they treat durable goods such as computers and automobiles. When incomes go up, people tend to buy more and travel more.The current forecast shows that air travel will soon begin to grow, and an average annual growth of percent is predicted for the next 20 years.。

If airlines carry passengers without proper documents on an international flight, they are responsible for carrying them back to the originating country.Analysis of the last five years shows that all the other players in the air transport chain are far more profitable than the airlines, who collect and pass through fees and revenues to them from ticket sales. While airlines as a whole earned 6% return on capital employed, airports earned 10%, catering companies 10-13%, handling companies 11-14%, aircraft lessors 5%, aircraft manufacturers 16%, and global distribution companies more than 30%.ScriptThe air travel industry is experiencing a short-term cycle of depression, with a significant drop in passenger numbers. However, cycles are a regular part of the aviation industry, and cycles do not change the fundamentals of economic growth, globalization, and people's desire to travel. Long-term trends for air traffic growth remain healthy.The present short-term declining cycle began modestly in early 2001 with the bursting of the high-tech stock market "bubble". After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack, the normal cycle turned into an unusual downward cycle. Fear of long queues at security check points distorted the normal relationship between economic growth and air travel.Security improvements also add costs to airlines and airports, which are passed on to passengers. Short-distance travel bears a larger share of the burden because security costs are based on boardings and are a larger share of total costs for shorter trips.In time, however, this short-term recession will end, for the relationship between traffic and economic development will once again play its role.The major driver of long-term air travel growth is economic growth. Another cause of air travel growth is globalization of trade. The Internet further promotes travel by opening up global opportunities to many more people. Airline network improvements and declining fares lead to traffic expansion. Government deregulation enhances airline competition, which in turn encourages lower fares and more flights.Consumer confidence and business profits can have strong influences on air travel demand. Travelers treat air travel in the same way they treat durable goods such as computers and automobiles. When incomes go up, people tend to buy more and travel more.The current forecast shows that air travel will soon begin to grow, and an average annual growth of 5.1 percent is predicted for the next 20 years.。

新视野大学英语读写教程第三册第九单元课后练习答案Unit 9SECTION AComprehension of the TextI.1. First, a future husband wanted to be sure that he could keep his treasured ice-cream collection if his marriage failed. Second, a woman wanted to make clear who would walk the dog. Third, one man wanted to be entitled to a divorce if his future wife gained more than 15 pounds once she married him.2. A prenuptial agreement, or prenup , is a contract negotiated by lawyers and signed by the prospective marriage partners before the wedding, mainly designed to deal with financial issues if they divorce.3. Because divorce, with its accompanying money problems, is common in the US, and more and more states began passing laws that affected the division of assets in a divorce.4. First , a wealthy man who has been stung before may want to avoid such problems in the future. Second, protecting children from a previous marriage is also a strong reason. When one future partner is extremely rich while the other is poor they may also want a prenup.5. First ,any language mistakes in a prenup, even a misplaced preposition,can be disastrous. Second, a prenuptial agreement signed under pressure can cause problems. Finally, there can be a dispute over premarital agreements if a couple decides to divorce while living abroad , or when they have different passports.6. prenuptial agreements are almost ignored by British courts because English law says that the circumstances of a marriage aren‟tstatic, and therefore a judge should decide how financial assets will be divided.7. For one thing, the divorce rate in the US is very high and is often accompanied by money disputes. For another ,laying bare all one‟s finances can sometimes save a couple from a terrible marriage.8. Because many people just put it in a drawer and never look at it again after having signed the agreement.III.1. invitation2.enforced3. cited4.awkward5.inherited6. dispute7.exposure8.valid9. verified10.justificationIV.1. She has certainly gained in confidence over the last couple years.2. The actor made the headlines for having an affair.3. Greg‟s parents are worried about his exposure to the kind of people they don‟t approve of while he‟s at college.4. The opposition parties are calling for the minister‟s resignation o ver the scandal.5. The administration is in the process of drawing up a peace plan.6. She‟ll end up penniless if she keeps spending as much as that.7. She lays bare her three unhappy marriages in her autobiography.8. Hoping that he might be able to shed light on the problem, I asked Paul to look at the engine.9. The outside influences have no bearing on what you can do for your basketball team.10. Thank you; I‟ll store that piece of news away for a time when I might need it.11.“Make no mistake about it ,”he said ,”this is the most serious threat our educational system has ever seen.”12. They worked much harder when they learned that they were in line for a wage increase.13. For a time, they argued over which TV program to watch.14. A car was stolen last night right under the nose of a security guard.

He works in an American company while giving lectures on economics at a college in the evening.3. In some societies professional women are treated as equals on the job while being treated as servants at home.4. We should be pupil s while serving as teachers.5. The two professors will exchange their views while attending ameeting in Paris.X.1. Not even once did this thought come to her mind.2. No sooner were they released by order of the court than they were rearrested by the police.3. By no means is it easy to pass the test when you are not spending enough time preparing.4. Seldom did the couple go to the theater together during their stay in the USA.5. Not until we understand the person who has the disease can we understand the disease.XI.1. Word came yesterday that they were killed while trying to reach the summit.2. Under no circumstances shall I mention to anyone that I have turned down the incitation to her wedding.3. It made the headlines that the president‟s wife threatened her husband with public exposure.4. That wealthy lady‟s repeated demand for a premarita l agreement greatly harmed her prospective husband‟s self-esteem and ended up in his refusal to get married .5. Make no mistake about it, some women would insist on the right to geta divorce if their husbands did not earn an much as the expected,6. The casual discovery of the fingerprint shed some light on the murder he had been looking into.XII.1. 现如今太多的人似乎都是边看电视边吃东西，几乎没主意自己吃的是什么，吃了多少。

ScriptM: When all the children come home for Christmas, there won't be enough room for everyone...what shall we do? Maybe some will have to stay in a hotel.W: I want them all here.

Listening InTask1:Expensive HolidaysScriptGrace: So, Mark, what are you going to get me for Chinese Valentine's Day-a holiday for the Cowherd and Girl Weaver to meet?Mark: Sorry, I've never heard of it. Anyway, we already celebrated Valentine's Day in February. I gave you a bunch of red roses.Grace: But there's another lover's day in the world.

Grace: Well, you d better give me a present from time to time if you want to win my heart.Mark: I gave you a beautiful card on New Year's Day...and a Christmas gift a couple of days before that.

Grace objects that it is wonderful if lovers have more than one lover's day a year. She needs Mark's presents from time to time if Mark wants to win her heart. Mark mentions that he gave her a beautiful card on New Year's Day, a Christmas gift a couple of days before that, and invited her to a dinner on the Chinese Spring Festival, Although Grace loves celebrating holidays, Mark worries that it's hard on the wallet, and he will end up in the poor house at this rate. Finally Grace tells Mark not to forget her birthday on the lunar calendar, though she already received a ring from Mark for her birthday on the Western calendar.Task2:April Fool ' s DayScriptOn a flight from the West Coast to the East Coast, the lead flight attendant was eager to get in early as her boyfriend, a pilot, was going to have a short stopover at the destination airport. She made a point of telling her fellow crew members about this. Because it was April 1st, April Fool's Day, the day people play tricks on one another, the captain decided to have a little fun.About an hour before landing, he made an announcement that went like this: "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the captain speaking. I have a little bit of bad news. There're some thunderstorms at our destination, and they've currently closed the airport. They expect it to reopen in about thirty minutes to an hour. As one might expect, this will result in long delays. As we've come all the way from the West Coast, we don't even have enough fuel to circle until the airport reopens. Therefore, we are going to be diverting to Cleveland, and we should be landing in about thirty minutes. We'll take some fuel there and get you back on your way to our original destination.I ' mterribly sorry for the delay. However, we' 11 get you there just as soon as possible." It was at this moment that you could hear someone running up to the cockpit. The cockpit door flew open, and sure enough it was the lead flight attendant mumbling something like, "This can ' t be happening. What shall I do?" As she went on painfully, the captain made another announcement: "Ladies and Gentlemen, happy April Fool's Day!'"T F T F FTask3: The Wilsons ' ThanksgivingScriptThanksgiving is one of America's most popular holidays. It is a day for expressing thanks for the good things in life. It is also a day for family reunion. On that day many people travel long distances to get together with their families. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the time when all members of a family gather.But not everyone can spend Thanksgiving with his or her family. Today we'll introduce you to a couple, Joan and Sandy Wilson, who could not afford to take time out to visit their parents one year. They regretted not being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with all their family members. But soon they met other people who also were separated from their families. So the Wilsons began holding a yearly Thanksgiving dinner for what they called their "extended family". This included people in their community. All the guests brought food to share for Thanksgiving dinner.The group has grown over the years. To accommodate all the guests, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson now have to add small tables to their large one in the big dining room. At first, many of their friends brought their babies and young children. Now some of the first guests are grandparents.Like many other Americans, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and their visitors enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal usually includes a turkey. Other traditional Thanksgiving foods served "with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pies.1.A2.D3.C4.B5.CIV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 Eat, drink and be merry on Christmas.Nora: My mother bought an enormous twenty-five pound turkey for Christmas dinner. I'm so excited! Susan: We have geese and ham for Christmas dinner on both Christmas Eve and Christmas night. Nora: Our traditional Christmas dinner is a turkey, so gigantic that we eat leftovers for days. Susan: Chris swears he'll refuse a huge dinner and stick to a healthy meal of tofu and salad. Nora: No way. He's kidding! Wait till he sees what his mother cooks: roast turkey with stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, peas and plum pudding for dessert!Susan: We heap up our presents under the tree and open them on Christmas morning. Nora: We open one Christmas Eve, more Christmas morning, and the rest the next day.Susan: Wow! Your family prolongs the celebration for three days!Nora: We start by decorating the tree on Christmas Eve, putting ornaments, lights and artificial snow flakes on it.Susan: Do you hang stockings by the fireplace and have a star on top of the tree?Nora: Yes. And we have another activity. We also "give not expecting to get".Susan: That's a peculiar expression. What do you mean by that?Nora: It's secret giving. We sneak up to the door of somebody we want to give a gift to, ring the doorbell, and run.Susan: So, you're not expecting anything; you're just being generous. That's a kind-hearted gesture. Nora: Isn't that what the true spirit of Christmas is supposed to be?Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: If you want to know about Christmas, I can tell you that it's an occasion for family reunions. Family members have dinner together.B: That's also true of the Chinese Spring Festival.A: Americans usually eat turkey for Christmas dinner. My mother bought an enormous twenty-five pound turkey for it. And our neighbors had goose and ham on both Christmas Eve and Christmas night.B: Chinese have a huge dinner on the Spring Festival Eve. Usually a fish is served, because its pronunciation in Chinese means "surplus" or "abundance". We also eat a lot of meat and seafood. A: A turkey is often so gigantic that we eat leftovers for days.B: A Chinese dinner is known for many kinds of food. We simply can't eat them all at once. So we also eat leftovers for days.A: Rich food isn't good for your health. Some Americans refuse a huge dinner and stick to a healthy meal of salad.B: The same is true here in China. Some people prefer tofu and vegetables to meat.A: Another important part of Christmas is the gifts. We heap up our presents under the Christmas tree or put them in stockings. Children are excited about gifts.B: In China we give children money in a red envelope.A: To enjoy a merry Christmas, Westerners exchange gifts, send Christmas cards, sing Christmas carols and throw parties.B: The Chinese set off firecrackers and fireworks to add to the jubilant atmosphere. In some places they also stage dragon and lion dances. And they visit relatives during the festival.A: Both the Spring Festival and Christmas are fascinating.MODEL 2 The Pilgrims' spirit of Thanksgiving lives on.ScriptChris: Will Nora be spending Thanksgiving with us this year?Susan: No, she's going home to spend the holiday with her mother and brother. She hasn't seen her family in over a year.Chris: I know how she feels. Thanksgiving is such a big family holiday in the States.Susan: It began as a celebration by the Pilgrims. They were happy just to have survived their first harsh winter in the new land in 1621 "Chris: But wasn't that harsh winter followed by an abundant harvest?Susan: Yeah, that's good reason to celebrate: they had beaten the odds and were still alive. It was a time to relax and "count your blessings".Chris: You know, most cultures seem to have some sort of celebration like this--don't the Chinese have a festival of moon cakes to celebrate the harvest month?Susan: Yeah, they do. I believe the round moon cakes also symbolize a family reunion. Chris: Well, today Thanksgiving in the States has developed into a major holiday.Susan: True, it's a very emotional time. Families often travel great distances to be together and share a huge dinner. Jamie's mother will have a turkey and a ham, corn-on-the-cob, yams, peas and carrots, and to top it all off, pumpkin pie.Chris: Just thinking about all that food makes my mouth water, and I think I'm going to gain tenpounds this year.Susan: But you have the rest of the year to lose those unwanted pounds. And losing weight will give you something to be thankful for next Thanksgiving.Now Your TurnA: Will you be spending the Thanksgiving holiday with us this year?B: No, I'm flying back to the States to spend the holiday with my mother and brother. I haven't seen my family for over a year. You see, Thanksgiving is a big family holidayA: In China the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a holiday for family reunions. Do you happen to know the origin of Thanksgiving?B: It began as a celebration by the Pilgrims. They were happy just to have survived their first harsh winter in the new land in 1621.A: I'm not quite sure of the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it is said to have something to do with Lady Chang'er who flew to the moon. On a day of full moon her husband longed for her to return to earth. So this may have something to do with family reunionsB: Thanksgiving is also an occasion to celebrate the harvest. The Pilgrims' first harsh winter was followed by an abundant harvest. That was good reason to celebrateA: Most cultures have some sort of celebration of the harvest. In fact the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival to celebrate the harvest month, since fruits, vegetables and grain have been harvested by this time and food is abundant.B: To observe Thanksgiving, Americans eat turkey, ham, corn-on-the-cob, yams, peas and carrots, and to top it all off, pumpkin pie.A: Oh, just thinking about all that food makes my mouth water. We Chinese eat moon cakes to mark the occasion. The round moon cakes symbolize a family reunionB: Thanksgiving in the States has developed into a major holidayA: The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals in China, too. It's sometimes believed to be the second most important holiday, next only to the Spring Festival.MODEL 3 Don't let ghosts frighten you on HalloweenScriptSusan: Hey Kim! Are you okay?

Some of you are still wondering what to do for your mom. Here's my advice.Look out for anything that she plans to buy, and buy it if you can afford it. For example, a casual dress or formal office wear. Or, it may be a unique hair clip. Find out if she is planning to get a new microwave or a new steam iron, and buy it for her if you can afford it. But don't forget to add a personal touch, and buy perfume or a bouquet of flowers as an add-on to the most practical gifts. You can get some ideas by considering what her likes and dislikes are. If she likes cats, how about giving her a pet or something that has a picture of a cat on it? But make sure she doesn't find out that you're getting her a present. Let her gift be a pleasant surprise.Definitely spend some time with her, especially if you are not living with her. Make her feel special. For example, you can cook a special dish for the day. You can also throw a little party and invite those who are close to her.And of course, if she enjoys outings, take a little trip with her. And if possible with your entire family. She'll love it for sure. After all, she is the one who takes care of all of you. A special trip to the countryside Gould show her how much you care for her. If she is happy, I'm sure you'll feel happy, too.What to Do for Mom Details or ExamplesLook out for anything that she plans to buy. For example, a casual dress or a formal office wear.

Further Listening and SpeakingListeningTask1:Celebrations on the New Year ' s EveScriptOn December 31st, Americans welcome the New Year in various ways.Some people like to see the New Year in while traveling by boat. For example, people in Chicago, Illinois, can choose from several special holiday trips on Lake Michigan. These cruises include dinner and dancing to music performed by a band. In San Diego, California, a company offers New Year's Eve parties on the Pacific Ocean. It costs more than 100 dollars for each person. Other Americans have parties at home and invite all their friends. Many of these events are noisy. People shout and sing. They often blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at midnight. They kiss theirhusband or wife or the person they are with. They dance to music. Other Americans spend a quiet evening at home. They drink champagne at midnight to welcome the New Year.Some people drink too much alcohol at New Year's Eve celebrations. This can lead to tragic results if a person then drives a car. The National Safety Council says hundreds of people die in road accident~ during the holiday.Other Americans observe the coming of the New Year at events without alcohol more than 220 American cities hold these First Night celebrations. Artists in Boston, Massachusetts, started the tradition of First Night celebrations in 1976. They wanted to observe the coming of a New Year. But they did not want to hold noisy drinking parties. So they organized music, art and other events to observe the holiday. People in Boston can choose among 250 performances and exhibits around the city. People can look at huge statues made of ice. Families can also watch fireworks Early in the evening.1. C2.B3.D4.A5.CTask 2: Mother ' s DayScriptIn the U.S., Mother's Day is a holiday celebrated on the second Sunday in May. It is a day when children honor their mothers with cards, gifts, and flowers. It was first observed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1907.Long before that, there were days honoring mothers even in ancient Greece. In those days, however, it was Rhea, the mother of the gods who was given honor.Later, in the 1600s, in England there was an annual observance called "Mothering Sunday". It was celebrated during June, on the fourth Sunday. On Mothering Sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. It was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion.In the U.S., in 1907, Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia, to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, which was the second Sunday in May. The next year Mother's Day was again celebrated in Philadelphia. Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother s Day. They were successful. In 1914, the American President president proclaimed Mother s Day a national observance that was to be held each year on the second Sunday of May.Task3: St.Valentine ' s StoryScriptLet me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. He wanted to have a big army, and he expected men to volunteer to join. Seeing many men did not want to leave their wives and families,Claudius had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So he passed a law to forbid any more marriages. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn't going to support that law!I was a priest, and one of my favorite activities was to marry couples. I kept on performing marriage ceremonies, secretly. One night, we heard footsteps and shouts of soldiers outside. It was scary! Thecouple I was marrying escaped in time, but I was caught. I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.Then wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love. One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed it, "Love from your Valentine." I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day.News ReportA Famous Christmas MarketScriptReceiving Christmas presents is always fun, but buying them can be a headache. This is why many Christmas shoppers around Europe are now going to the German city of Nuremberg to visit its famous Christmas market, Christkindlesmarkt..The four-hundred-year-old market is a child's paradise. Its 150 stalls sell all kinds of toys, gifts, and special foods. A staggering two million people visit the market annually.The old city and market add a special feeling to Christmas. As one British tourist, Mivart Thomas, explains," There's something quite, sort of, medieval about the atmosphere here. There are quite a lot of old stalls--traditional-looking stalls--and the cathedral in the background with lights all around; and just a few minutes ago, the brass band was playing...playing Christmas carols. The whole atmosphere is wonderful." The market maintains its Old World atmosphere with regulations saying what can and can't be sold. Not surprisingly, the focus is on the family. The market's tourist officer, Gerd Lauterbauch, points out that the market's name translates as "Christ child's market", and the idea behind it is to offer presents for children on Christmas. Christmas markets are found in many German cities, but Nuremberg's is the most famous. It gives a very different impression from the one tourists expect, considering the city's Nazi past. And as word of the market spreads around Europe, the market is becoming a tourist center.。

Therefore, we are going to be diverting toCleveland, and we should be landing in about thirty minutes. We'll take some fuelthere and get you back on your way to our original destination. I’m terribly sorryfor the delay. However, we’11 get you there just as soon as possible."

Further Listening and SpeakingListeningTask1:Celebrations on the New Year’s EveScriptOn December 31st, Americans welcome the New Year in various ways.Some people like to see the New Year in while traveling by boat. For example, people in Chicago, Illinois, can choose from several special holiday trips on Lake Michigan. These cruises include dinner and dancing to music performed by a band. In San Diego, California, a company offers New Year's Eve parties on the Pacific Ocean. It costs more than 100 dollars for each person.Other Americans have parties at home and invite all their friends. Many of these events are noisy. People shout and sing. They often blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at midnight. They kiss their husband or wife or the person they are with. They dance to music. Other Americans spend a quiet evening at home. They drink champagne at midnight to welcome the New Year.Some people drink too much alcohol at New Year's Eve celebrations. This can lead to tragic results if a person then drives a car. The National Safety Council says hundreds of people die in road accident~ during the holiday.Other Americans observe the coming of the New Year at events without alcohol more than 220 American cities hold these First Night celebrations. Artists in Boston, Massachusetts, started the tradition of First Night celebrations in 1976. They wanted to observe the coming of a New Year. But they did not want to hold noisy drinking parties. So they organized music, art and other events to observe the holiday. People inBoston can choose among 250 performances and exhibits around the city. People can look at huge statues made of ice. Families can also watch fireworks Early in the evening.1. C2.B3.D4.A5.CTask 2: Mother’s DayScriptIn the U.S., Mother's Day is a holiday celebrated on the second Sunday in May. It is a day when children honor their mothers with cards, gifts, and flowers. It was first observed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1907.Long before that, there were days honoring mothers even in ancient Greece. In those days, however, it was Rhea, the mother of the gods who was given honor.Later, in the 1600s, in England there was an annual observance called "Mothering Sunday". It was celebrated during June, on the fourth Sunday. On Mothering Sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. It was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion.In the U.S., in 1907, Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Jarvispersuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia, to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, which was the second Sunday in May. The next year Mother's Day was again celebrated in Philadelphia. Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother s Day. They were successful. In 1914, the American President president proclaimed Mother s Day a national observance that was to be held each year on the second Sunday of May.Task3: St.Valentine’s StoryScriptLet me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. He wanted to have a big army, and he expected men to volunteer to join. Seeing many men did not want to leave their wives and families, Claudius had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So he passed a law to forbid any more marriages. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn't going to support that law!I was a priest, and one of my favorite activities was to marry couples. I kept on performing marriage ceremonies, secretly. One night, we heard footsteps and shouts of soldiers outside. It was scary! The couple I was marrying escaped in time, but I was caught. I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.Then wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love.One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Sometimes we wouldsit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty.I signed it, "Love from your Valentine."I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine'sDay.News ReportA Famous Christmas MarketScriptReceiving Christmas presents is always fun, but buying them can be a headache. Thisis why many Christmas shoppers around Europe are now going to the German city ofNuremberg to visit its famous Christmas market, Christkindlesmarkt.. The four-hundred-year-old market is a child's paradise. Its 150 stalls sell all kindsof toys, gifts, and special foods. A staggering two million people visit the marketannually.The old city and market add a special feeling to Christmas. As one British tourist,Mivart Thomas, explains," There's something quite, sort of, medieval about theatmosphere here. There are quite a lot of old stalls--traditional-lookingstalls--and the cathedral in the background with lights all around; and just a fewminutes ago, the brass band was playing...playing Christmas carols. The wholeatmosphere is wonderful." The market maintains its Old World atmosphere withregulations saying what can and can't be sold. Not surprisingly, the focus is onthe family. The market's tourist officer, Gerd Lauterbauch, points out that themarket's name translates as "Christ child's market", and the idea behind it is tooffer presents for children on Christmas. Christmas markets are found in many Germancities, but Nuremberg's is the most famous. It gives a very different impressionfrom the one tourists expect, considering the city's Nazi past. And as word of themarket spreads around Europe, the market is becoming a tourist center.如有侵权请联系告知删除，感谢你们的配合！。
