When we think of Christmas, we probably think of , 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 British writer Charles Dickens (1812-1870). It is about an old man Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He only thinks about himself and is to share things with others. He doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can 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 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 ghosts to visit him.

That , the ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds him his happy days as a child. Then the second ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see 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 . Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning — Christmas Day!

Scrooge decides to change his life and to be a kind person. He celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true of Christmas!

阅读下面短文, 然后根据短文内容补全答题卡上对应表格中所缺失的信息, 每空仅填一词。

language changes with the development of society. So does English. English words change all the time. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use and older words are used in a new way. Here are some common ways.

English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico, and “tea” came from China and so on. Now new words are formed by joining two words together. “weekend” and “cookbook” are made up of two parts. A latest one “brunch” comes from breakfast and lunch. Do you have brunch every day? Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. For example, the word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” and “phone” were made by cutting off the front part of “aeroplane” and “telephone”. The names of people and products can also become new words. Our “sandwich” was named after a man called Sandwich who invented it and “cello” was a name given by the company that first made the product.

Can you find more examples for each of these ways to make new words”

How English new words are born

Ways

1.

Borrowing

2. , tea

3.

Weekend, cookbook, brunch

Cutting off

Photo, 4. , phone

Using 5. of people and products
