进十几盘菜里。而罗伯特一家则非常耐心地等待菜盘传到他们眼前。妈妈端上一大条蒸鱼，亲戚们吧唧着嘴巴准备大快朵颐。罗伯特的脸紧绷着，看上去不是很高兴。这时候，爸爸用他的筷子捅了一下鱼眼睛下面的部位，然后夹起一块很嫩的肉对我说：艾米，这是你最喜欢吃的。”说完他就把夹起的鱼脸给了我，当时我真想找个地缝钻进去。7Aftereveryonehadgone,mymothersaidtome,“YouwanttobethesameasAmericangirlsontheoutside.”Shehandedmeanearlygift.Itwasawhitewoolenminiskirt.“ButinsideyoumustalwaysbeChinese.Youmustbeproudyouaredifferent.Youronlyshameistohaveshame.”8AndeventhoughIdidn’tagreewithherthen,IknewthatsheunderstoodhowmuchIhadsufferedduringtheevening’sdinner.Itwasn’tuntilmanyyearslater—longafterIhadgottenovermyloveforRobert—thatIwasabletofullyappreciateherlessonandthetruepurposebehindherparticularchoiceofmenu.ForChristmasEvethatyear,shehadchosenallmyfavoritefoods!*woolena.羊毛制的；毛料的*miniskirtn.迷你裙；超短裙shamen.羞愧（感）；羞耻sufferv.遭受；感到痛苦particulara.特殊的；特别的menun.菜单8我当时并不完全赞同她的观点，但我知道妈妈理解那顿晚餐时我内心所经受的折磨。直到很多年以后——当我不再迷恋罗伯特之后很久，我才完全领会了妈妈那番话的含义，才清楚妈妈那份特别菜单的真实用意。她选择了所有我爱吃的菜作为那年平安夜的菜谱。7等大家都走光了，妈妈对我说：“在外表上你可以和美国女孩子一样”，她随手递给我一个为时还早的圣诞礼物——一条白色的羊毛迷你裙。“但是你内心必须记住自己永远是一个中国人，你应该为你和他们不同感到自豪，而唯一应该感到羞愧的是你以自己是中国人为耻。”UnderstandingItTask1Readthetextandanswerthefollowingquestions.1HowdidAmyfeelwhenherparentsinvitedtheminister’sfamilyoverforChristmasEvedinner?Whydidshehavesuchafeeling?2HowdidAmyfeelabouthermother’spreparationsforthedinner?AmyfeltveryupsetbecauseshewasafraidthatherfamilymightleaveabadimpressiononRobert.Amydidn’tfeelcomfortableatseeinghermother’spreparationsforChinesedishes.UnderstandingIt3WhatthrewAmyintodeeperdespairduringthedinner?4WhatdidAmy’smothermeanby“Youronlyshameistohaveshame.”?5Whatwasthetruepurposeofthatparticularmenu?ThefactthatherrelativeshaddinnerintheChinesewaythrewAmyintodeeperdespair.Amy’smothermeantthatbeingaChinesewasnoshameatallandthatitwasshamefulifyouwereashamedtobeaChinese.ThatparticularmenumostprobablywasintendedtointroduceChineseculturetotheminister’sfamily.Task2Readthetextagainanddecidewhetherthefollowingstatementsaretrue(T)orfalse(F).1AmywishedshelookedlessChinese.2AmyinvitedRoberttodinner.3Amyhelpedhermotherplanthemenuforthedinner.4Amywasembarrassedbythedinner.5RobertenjoyedtheChinesedinnerverymuch.6AmywasexcitedtoshowRobertthingsaboutChineseculture.7ThewaytoshowappreciationforafinemealisdifferentbetweentheUSandChina.8Amy’smotherdidn’twanthertodresslikeatypicalAmericangirl.9Amyunderstoodhermotherverywellthemomentshegottheearlygiftfromhermother.10Amy’smotherfeltashamedaboutChineseculture.TFFTFFTFFFTask3Thistexthaseightparagraphs.Chooseaproperheadingforeachparagraphfromthefollowinglist.AMother’slessonBMother’sstrangeChristmasmenuCMyappreciationofmother’slessonDArrivalofRobert’sfamilyandmyrelativesEMyloveforRobertFFather’sbelchattheendofthemealGMyuneasinessatmyparents’invitationtoRobert’sfamilyHMyembarrassmentatdinnerPara.1___________Para.2___________Para.3___________Para.4___________Para.5___________Para.6___________Para.7___________Para.8___________EGBDHFACLanguagePointstospeaktoGodinordertogivethanksortoaskforhishelp祈祷，祷告e.g.Nowallwehavetodoistohelpourselvesandto pray toGod.inferiorinquality寒酸的e.g.Hisshabbyappearancecreatesabadimpression.prayshabbyWordsthewayyoubehaveandtalk言谈，举止[manners]规矩，礼貌e.g.Itisinterestingtolearnthemannersandcustomsofothercountries.havingmuchflesh;plump;fat多肉的，肥胖的猛增e.g.Thethick, fleshy leavesaregreatlyenlargedandmalformed.mannerfleshyLanguagePointsWordsuncooked;beinginanaturalcondition;notprocessedorrefined生的；未加工的e.g.rawmeat生肉e.g.rawmaterial原材料thefeelingofhavinglostallhope绝望e.g.Adeepsenseofdespairoverwhelmedhim.despair常与一些动词连用，出现v.+intodespair的结构。e.g.Don'tletyourselfsinkintodespair.rawdespairacollectionofobjectslaidontopofeachother一堆e.g.Apileofdirtyclotheslaybythewashingmachine.此外，pile一词还可以常用作动词，表示“堆起，堆叠；蜂拥，拥挤”。e.g.pileintoabus挤上公交车piletosay(something)inaquietandsoftvoice低声说，悄声说e.g.She murmuredafewwordsofsupport.murmur也可以用作名词，表示“咕哝，发牢骚； 低声的抱怨； 低声说话”。murmurLanguagePoints（使）弯曲变形，（使）扭曲e.g.Sophia'sface twistedinpain.twistleantocastone'sweighttoonesideforsupport倚、靠e.g.Shewasfeelingtiredandwasgladto lean againsthim.customs海关e.g.acustomsofficer海关官员风俗，习惯e.g.This custom hasbeenpasseddownsincethe18thcentury.customtomakesomethingredortobecomered（使）变红，脸变红e.g.Pearsonmassagedhis reddenedcheek.redden惭愧，羞愧，耻辱e.g.Shefeltadeepsenseof shame.shameful可耻的，丢脸的shameless无耻的，不要脸的 shameWordsLanguagePointsPhrases&Expressionsovercome克服，克制e.g.Wewillgetoverthedifficulty.getover请某人到家中作客e.g.Americansinvitetheirfriendsoverforaturkeydinnerandgivethanksforwhattheyhave.invitesb.overthrow…intodespair使⋯⋯陷入绝望about,closeto大约，左右e.g.Hemustbethirtyorso.orsoimmediatelyorverysoonafter一…就…e.g.On/uponarrivingattheairport,weallwerewelcomedwarmly.upon/on+v-ingBackgroundinformationChristmas圣诞节。每年的12月25日是圣诞节，原为基督教徒纪念耶稣基督诞生的日子，现为西方国家一年中最盛大的节日，也是家庭团聚和喜庆的节日。圣诞节习俗繁多，其中最常见的习俗有装饰圣诞树、互赠圣诞礼物和圣诞贺卡，以及享受圣诞大餐烤火鸡等。ChristmasEve为圣诞节前夕，即平安夜(12月24日)。Backgroundinformation圣诞大餐。正像中国人过春节吃年夜饭一样，欧美人过圣诞节也很注重全家团聚。家人围坐在圣诞树下，共进节日美餐。圣诞大餐吃火鸡的习俗始于美国，火鸡烤制工艺复杂，但味道鲜美。英国人的圣诞大餐是烤鹅，而非火鸡。ChristmasDinnerDoingItTask11Thestructure“with+object”iswidelyusedtoindicatedifferentmeanings.Findthesentencesinthetexttomatchthedifferentmeanings.——————————
