A
　　The Longtaitou Festival， which means “dragon raises head” in Chinese， is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. So， it’s also called Eryueer Festival. In Chinese culture， the dragon is an auspicious （吉利的） animal that dominates clouds and rains. The 2nd day of the 2nd lunar month is thought to be the day when dragon awakes and raises its head according to the Chinese folk legend. So the day is called Dragon Heads-raising Day. After the day， spring is coming and there will be more and more rain. People think these credits （功勞） go to the dragon. So the day is also called Spring Dragon Festival. Since the Tang Dynasty （618－907 AD）， Chinese people have had the custom of spending the Spring Dragon Festival.
　　The most popular custom on the Dragon Heads-raising Day is cutting hair. Dragon is highly honored for its dignity （尊貴） and power for good. It is thought to be auspicious to cut hair on the Dragon Heads-raising Day. Luck and opportunities will always knock you in the year. So， on that day， barbershops’ businesses are growing and full of customers.
　　The most common foods for celebrating the festival are popcorns， pancakes， noodles， dumplings， fired soy beans and pig’s head. People in different areas have different traditions about the food on the day. In Beijing， people eat Lvdagunr （Glutinous Rice Rolls with Sweet Bean Flour） and spring pancakes on the day. In Shanxi， people like to eat fried dough twists and pancakes. In Shandong， fried soy beans， noodles and dumplings are the festival food. In Fuzhou， the salted porridge made of glutinous rice， celery， scallion， garlic， fry dried shrimps and shredded meat is eaten. These show people’s hope to be blessed （保佑） with favorable weather and plentiful grain harvest by the dragon.

　　From wearing a lucky pair of socks to following family traditions， rituals are embedded in our everyday lives.Rituals are central to actually all of our social institutions.They are held by the army， governments and companies， in parades or ceremonies.They are used by athletes who always wear the same socks for important games.
　　As we study rituals in a humanistic and scientific way， even if people perform those rituals without a clear purpose， or even when they do have a purpose， there is no particular causal （因果關(guān)系的） connection between the action they take and that purpose.For example， when I perform a rain ritual， there is no connection between my movements and water falling from the sky.
　　But even so， just because ritual does not have any direct causal effect on the world， it does not mean that it has no effect on the world at all.In fact， rituals have very important functions in human societies.They help individuals through their anxieties， they help groups of people connect to one another， and they help people find meaning in their lives.
　　In fact， even rituals that seem to be painful， stressful， or dangerous have measurable functions for people who perform them.For example， in the context of a fire walking ritual in Spain， we found that during this ritual， people’s heart rates synchronized （同步）.This was not just an effect of people moving at the same time — their heart rates would synchronize no matter what they were doing at the same time： walking on fire or just watching it.
　　What happened was that people started either adapting traditional ceremonies or creating new ceremonies.That’s like what we saw when people in big cities came out on their balconies and started banging pots and pans together， in a show of solidarity （團結(jié)）.

D.They help people take effective action.

　　Winter in the Shetland Islands can be a hard dark time： 75 per cent of the islands’ annual rainfall comes down in the winter months and temperatures are very low.On the last Tuesday in January， however， towns throughout Shetland are completely changed， burning bright with torches （火把） as hundreds of locals take to the streets to celebrate Up Helly Aa， the largest fire festival in Europe.Partly in honor of the islanders’ Viking tradition， Up Helly Aa was first celebrated in the 1880s.
Before then， a different kind of celebration took place： the poor locals would walk to the streets to mark the end of the Yule season by burning tar barrels （焦油桶）.The practice of burning tar barrels was accepted most openly by Shetland’s lower class， whose fires in the islands’ narrow streets sometimes led to conflicts （沖突）.The wealthy on the islands canceled the burning of tar barrels in the 1870s.
To create another， more commonly acceptable celebration， a group of men in the Shetland Islands’ capital city of Lerwick decided to restart the festival， featuring a parade of burning torches.They also introduced the idea of including Viking imagery， in honor of local history.The first torch celebration on Up Helly Aa took place in 1881.By the late 1880s， the parade included the burning of a Viking longship.Some years later， a bill of rules was written to govern the year’s activities.At 6 am on the day of Up Helly Aa， the bill was publicly read aloud and shown in the center of the town.
Though the festival attracts visitors from all over the world， the parade itself is an extremely local event.Participants must have been a resident （居民） of Shetland for five years before they can be part of the parade.The festival starts from the 6 am bill reading to the night-time torch-lit march that ends in setting a Viking longship on fire in the dark winter night.
9.What do we know about Up Helly Aa？（　　）
A.It has a history of over 140 years.

THE REAL FATHER CHRISTMAS
Many people still remember the magic①of Father Christmas from when they were children.As parents， they try to keep that magic alive②for their children for as long as they can.
[1]That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who regard Christmas as③a special time of year. The man who wrote these letters is one of the most famous names in English literature④ — J.R.R.Tolkien， author of The Lord of the Rings.The letters were Tolkien’s way of keeping Father Christmas alive for his four children， over a period of more than twenty years.
　　[1]That is why ...那就是……的原因，why引導表語從句，表語從句中又含有一個who 引導的定語從句。句中的could 表示一種不確定的語氣。
Every Christmas， an envelope⑤ with a North Pole⑥stamp arrived.It was addressed⑦ to Tolkien’s children.Who could it be from？ The children must have been very excited [2]as they opened it.Inside， they would find a handwritten⑧ letter from Father Christmas.
The letters were also beautifully illustrated⑨ — [3]each must have taken its true author， Tolkien， a long time to complete.
　　[2]as引導時間狀語從句。
[3]本句是sth takes sb some time to do結(jié)構(gòu)。句中的must have taken是must have done結(jié)構(gòu)，表示對已發(fā)生動作的肯定推測，意為“肯定做了某事”。
The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas’s life and adventures at the North Pole.A regular⑩ character in the letters was Polar Bear， [4]who once climbed the North Pole （an actual pole in this case ） and fell through the roof of Father Christmas’s house.In another letter， Father Christmas complained about how he could not stop his helpers playing games with the toys instead of wrapping them up .Interestingly， the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children [5]that they might not receive their presents if they were not good.[6]The letters did， however， change as Tolkien’s children got older：
　　[4]who引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞Polar Bear，在定語從句中作主語。
[5]that引導同位語從句，說明warnings的內(nèi)容。該同位語從句被介詞短語to children分隔開了。
[6]助動詞did用于強調(diào)謂語動詞change。
...[7]but if you find that not many of the things you asked for have come， and not perhaps quite as many as sometimes， remember that this Christmas all over the world there are a terrible number of poor and starving people.
　　[7]if引導條件狀語從句，從句中含有that引導的賓語從句， you asked for為省略了關(guān)系代詞的定語從句。
Letters from Father Christmas tells us that as well as enjoying the adventures of Father Christmas， Polar Bear and other characters at the North Pole， we can all share the true spirit of giving at Christmas time.By expressing love for his children in such a special way， [8]Tolkien may indeed have been the real Father Christmas.
　　[8]may have done表示立足于現(xiàn)在，對過去發(fā)生的事情的推測，意為“可能做了某事”。

真正的圣誕老人
來自童年時代的圣誕老人的魔力，很多人（長大以后）還依然記得。為人父母之后，他們也想讓自己的孩子盡可能長久地相信這份魔力的存在。
那就是《圣誕老人的來信》對那些認為圣誕節(jié)是一年中的一個特殊的時間的人來說可能是一本再合適不過的書的原因。寫這些信的人是英國文壇的一位巨匠——《魔戒》的作者J.R.R.托爾金。在二十多年的時間里，托爾金以寫信這種方式讓他的四個孩子相信圣誕老人真的存在。
　　每年圣誕節(jié)，托爾金的家里都會收到一封貼有北極郵票的信，收信人是托爾金的孩子們。會是誰寄來的呢？孩子們打開時一定非常興奮。他們會看到里面有一封圣誕老人的親筆信。信里還配著精美的插圖——它們真正的作者托爾金一定花了很長時間去完成每一幅畫作。
這些信中講述了圣誕老人在北極生活和探險的精彩故事。信中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的一個角色是北極熊。有一次，它爬上北極（在信中，北極是一根真的桿子），結(jié)果摔下來砸穿了圣誕老人家的屋頂。在另一封信中，圣誕老人抱怨說，他那些助手們非但沒有把玩具包裝起來，反而拿著玩具玩起了游戲，他怎么也沒法讓他們停下來。有意思的是，信中并沒有那些常見的對孩子們的警告，比如表現(xiàn)不好就可能得不到禮物之類的話。不過，隨著托爾金的孩子們漸漸長大，信的內(nèi)容確實發(fā)生了一些變化：
“……但是，如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己并沒有得到很多你想要的東西，有時甚至所獲無幾，請你記住，在這個圣誕節(jié)，世界上還有很多貧窮而饑餓的人。”
《圣誕老人的來信》告訴我們，在圣誕節(jié)，除了欣賞圣誕老人、北極熊和其他一些生活在北極的人物的冒險故事之外，我們還可以共同體會真正的給予精神。托爾金用這樣一種特別的方式來表達對兒女的愛，他可以算得上是真正的圣誕老人。

THE REAL FATHER CHRISTMAS
Many people still remember the magic①of Father Christmas from
when they were children.As parents， they try to keep that magic alive②
for their children for as long as they can.
[1]That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect
book for those who regard Christmas as③a special time of year. The man
who wrote these letters is one of the most famous names in English
literature④ — J. R. R. Tolkien， author of The Lord of the Rings.The
letters were Tolkien’s way of keeping Father Christmas alive for his four
children， over a period of more than twenty years.
　　[1]That is why ...那就是……的原因，why引導表語從句，表語
從句中又含有一個who 引導的定語從句。句中的could 表示一種不確
定的語氣。
【讀文清障】
①magic n.魔力
②keep ... alive 使……繼續(xù)存在
③regard ... as ... 把……視作……
④literature n.文學
English literature 英國文學
Every Christmas， an envelope⑤ with a North Pole⑥stamp arrived.It
was addressed⑦ to Tolkien’s children.Who could it be from？ The
children must have been very excited [2]as they opened it.Inside， they
would find a handwritten⑧ letter from Father Christmas.The letters were
also beautifully illustrated⑨ — [3]each must have taken its true author，
Tolkien， a long time to complete.
　　[2]as引導時間狀語從句。
[3]本句是sth takes sb some time to do結(jié)構(gòu)。句中的must have
taken是must have done結(jié)構(gòu)，表示對已發(fā)生動作的肯定推測，意為
“肯定做了某事”。
⑤envelope n.信封
⑥pole n.（行星的）地極，（尤指地球的）北極或南極
the North/South Pole 北極/南極

⑧handwritten adj.手寫的
a handwritten letter 一封手寫的信
⑨illustrate vt.給（書籍、文章等）加插圖
The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas’s life and
adventures at the North Pole.A regular⑩ character in the letters was Polar
Bear， [4]who once climbed the North Pole （an actual pole in this
case ） and fell through the roof of Father Christmas’s house.In
another letter， Father Christmas complained about how he could not
stop his helpers playing games with the toys instead of wrapping them up
.Interestingly， the letters did not contain the usual warnings to
children [5]that they might not receive their presents if they were not
good.[6]The letters did， however， change as Tolkien’s children got
older：
　　[4]who引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞Polar Bear，在定語
從句中作主語。
[5]that引導同位語從句，說明warnings的內(nèi)容。該同位語從句被
介詞短語to children分隔開了。
[6]助動詞did用于強調(diào)謂語動詞change。
⑩regular adj.頻繁的，經(jīng)常的
polar adj.極地的
polar bear 北極熊
in this case 在這種情況下
roof n.（建筑物、汽車、帳篷等的）頂，頂部
complain v.抱怨，不滿，發(fā)牢騷
complain about ... 抱怨……
stop ... （from） doing ... 阻止……做……
wrap ... up 將……打包
warning n.警告，警示，告誡
　　[7]if引導條件狀語從句，從句中含有that引導的賓語從句， you
asked for為省略了關(guān)系代詞的定語從句。
...[7]but if you find that not many of the things you asked for have
come， and not perhaps quite as many as sometimes， remember that this
Christmas all over the world there are a terrible number of poor and
starving people.
a number of 意為“許多，若干”，修飾可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)，謂語動詞用復
數(shù)形式。
“the number of＋可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)”意為“……的數(shù)量”，作主語時謂語動
詞用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。
starving adj.挨餓的，即將餓死的
starve v.挨餓，餓死
Letters from Father Christmas tells us that as well as enjoying the
adventures of Father Christmas， Polar Bear and other characters at the
North Pole， we can all share the true spirit of giving at Christmas
time.By expressing love for his children in such a special way，
[8]Tolkien may indeed have been the real Father Christmas.
　　[8]may have done表示立足于現(xiàn)在，對過去發(fā)生的事情的推測，
意為“可能做了某事”。
as well as 除……之外
【參考譯文】
真正的圣誕老人
來自童年時代的圣誕老人的魔力，很多人（長大以后）還依然記
得。為人父母之后，他們也想讓自己的孩子盡可能長久地相信這份魔
力的存在。
那就是《圣誕老人的來信》對那些認為圣誕節(jié)是一年中的一個特
殊的時間的人來說可能是一本再合適不過的書的原因。寫這些信的人
是英國文壇的一位巨匠——《魔戒》的作者J. R. R. 托爾金。在二十
多年的時間里，托爾金以寫信這種方式讓他的四個孩子相信圣誕老人
真的存在。
每年圣誕節(jié)，托爾金的家里都會收到一封貼有北極郵票的信，收
信人是托爾金的孩子們。會是誰寄來的呢？孩子們打開時一定非常興
奮。他們會看到里面有一封圣誕老人的親筆信。信里還配著精美的插
圖——它們真正的作者托爾金一定花了很長時間去完成每一幅畫作。
這些信中講述了圣誕老人在北極生活和探險的精彩故事。信中經(jīng)
常出現(xiàn)的一個角色是北極熊。有一次，它爬上北極（在信中，北極是
一根真的桿子），結(jié)果摔下來砸穿了圣誕老人家的屋頂。在另一封信
中，圣誕老人抱怨說，他那些助手們非但沒有把玩具包裝起來，反而
拿著玩具玩起了游戲，他怎么也沒法讓他們停下來。有意思的是，信
中并沒有那些常見的對孩子們的警告，比如表現(xiàn)不好就可能得不到禮
物之類的話。不過，隨著托爾金的孩子們漸漸長大，信的內(nèi)容確實發(fā)
生了一些變化：
“……但是，如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己并沒有得到很多你想要的東西，有
時甚至所獲無幾，請你記住，在這個圣誕節(jié)，世界上還有很多貧窮而
饑餓的人。”
《圣誕老人的來信》告訴我們，在圣誕節(jié)，除了欣賞圣誕老人、
北極熊和其他一些生活在北極的人物的冒險故事之外，我們還可以共
同體會真正的給予精神。托爾金用這樣一種特別的方式來表達對兒女
的愛，他可以算得上是真正的圣誕老人。

　　The Longtaitou Festival， which means “dragon raises head” in
Chinese， is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the
second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. So， it’s also called
Eryueer Festival. In Chinese culture， the dragon is an auspicious （吉利
的） animal that dominates clouds and rains. The 2nd day of the 2nd lunar
month is thought to be the day when dragon awakes and raises its head
according to the Chinese folk legend.
So the day is called Dragon Heads-raising Day. After the day， spring is
coming and there will be more and more rain. People think these credits
（功勞） go to the dragon. So the day is also called Spring Dragon
Festival. Since the Tang Dynasty （618－907 AD）， Chinese people
have had the custom of spending the Spring Dragon Festival.
　　The most popular custom on the Dragon Heads-raising Day is cutting
hair. Dragon is highly honored for its dignity （尊貴） and power for
good. It is thought to be auspicious to cut hair on the Dragon Heads-
raising Day. Luck and opportunities will always knock you in the year.
So， on that day， barbershops’ businesses are growing and full of
customers.
　　The most common foods for celebrating the festival are popcorns，
pancakes， noodles， dumplings， fired soy beans and pig’s head.
People in different areas have different traditions about the food on the
day. In Beijing， people eat Lvdagunr （Glutinous Rice Rolls with Sweet
Bean Flour） and spring pancakes on the day. In Shanxi， people like to
eat fried dough twists and pancakes. In Shandong， fried soy beans，
noodles and dumplings are the festival food. In Fuzhou， the salted
porridge made of glutinous rice， celery， scallion， garlic， fry dried
shrimps and shredded meat is eaten.
These show people’s hope to be blessed （保佑） with favorable
weather and plentiful grain harvest by the dragon.

　　From wearing a lucky pair of socks to following family traditions，
rituals are embedded in our everyday lives.Rituals are central to actually
all of our social institutions.They are held by the army， governments and
companies， in parades or ceremonies.They are used by athletes who
always wear the same socks for important games.
　　As we study rituals in a humanistic and scientific way， even if
people perform those rituals without a clear purpose， or even when they
do have a purpose， there is no particular causal （因果關(guān)系的）
connection between the action they take and that purpose.For example，
when I perform a rain ritual， there is no connection between my
movements and water falling from the sky.
　　But even so， just because ritual does not have any direct causal
effect on the world， it does not mean that it has no effect on the world at
all.In fact， rituals have very important functions in human
societies.They help individuals through their anxieties， they help groups
of people connect to one another， and they help people find meaning in
their lives.
　　In fact， even rituals that seem to be painful， stressful， or
dangerous have measurable functions for people who perform them.For
example， in the context of a fire walking ritual in Spain， we found that
during this ritual， people’s heart rates synchronized （同步）.This was
not just an effect of people moving at the same time — their heart rates
would synchronize no matter what they were doing at the same time：
walking on fire or just watching it.
　　What happened was that people started either adapting traditional
ceremonies or creating new ceremonies.That’s like what we saw when
people in big cities came out on their balconies and started banging pots
and pans together， in a show of solidarity （團結(jié)）.

　　Winter in the Shetland Islands can be a hard dark time： 75 per cent
of the islands’ annual rainfall comes down in the winter months and
temperatures are very low.On the last Tuesday in January， however，
towns throughout Shetland are completely changed， burning bright with
torches （火把） as hundreds of locals take to the streets to celebrate Up
Helly Aa， the largest fire festival in Europe.Partly in honor of the
islanders’ Viking tradition， Up Helly Aa was first celebrated in the
1880s.
Before then， a different kind of celebration took place： the poor
locals would walk to the streets to mark the end of the Yule season by
burning tar barrels （焦油桶）.The practice of burning tar barrels was
accepted most openly by Shetland’s lower class， whose fires in the
islands’ narrow streets sometimes led to conflicts （沖突）.The wealthy
on the islands canceled the burning of tar barrels in the 1870s.
To create another， more commonly acceptable celebration， a group
of men in the Shetland Islands’ capital city of Lerwick decided to restart
the festival， featuring a parade of burning torches.They also introduced
the idea of including Viking imagery， in honor of local history.The first
torch celebration on Up Helly Aa took place in 1881.By the late 1880s，
the parade included the burning of a Viking longship.Some years later， a
bill of rules was written to govern the year’s activities.At 6 am on the
day of Up Helly Aa， the bill was publicly read aloud and shown in the
center of the town.
Though the festival attracts visitors from all over the world， the
parade itself is an extremely local event.Participants must have been a
resident （居民） of Shetland for five years before they can be part of the
parade.The festival starts from the 6 am bill reading to the night-time
torch-lit march that ends in setting a Viking longship on fire in the dark
winter night.
