活动原文：
Betty: It’s Lingling’s birthday tomorrow.
Tony: We must get her a present. Betty: She’s too old for a toy. Tony: She likes playing chess. How about a chess set? Betty: Yes, or we could buy her things to eat or drink. Tony: She likes chocolate. Betty: How about some nice chopsticks? Betty: Or how about a baseball cap?Tony: I’ve got it! A dictionary！ Betty: Yes, an English dictionary. She can look up new words in it.
课文原文：
Betty: Happy birthday, Lingling.Daming: Here’s your gift.Lingling: Oh, you remembered! What a surprise!Lingling: I don’t think I should open it now. In China, we open a gift later.Betty: But back in the US, we open a gift immediately.Lingling: So what do I do?(Lingling opens her present and finds a dictionary.)Lingling: Oh, thank you. I really wanted one.Betty: We’re happy you like it.Tony: I noticed another difference. In China, you accept a gift with both hands. But in the West, we usually don’t pay much attention to that.Betty: That’s interesting! I’m interested to know all the Chinese traditions. Tell me more.Lingling: There are a lot. For example, in my home town, people say you mustn’t do any cleaning on the first day of the Spring Festival. And you mustn’t break anything. It’s bad luck!Daming: You must only use red paper for hongbao because red means luck. And you’d better not cut your hair during the Spring Festival month.Tony: You can’t be serious!Daming: And in the north of China, people eat lots of jiaozi!Betty: Perfect! They taste great.Tony: I like eating jiaozi too. Anyway, the Spring Festival is still over a month away. Let’s celebrate Lingling’s birthday first!
课文翻译：
贝蒂：玲玲，生日快乐。
大明：这是你的礼物。
玲玲：哦，你记得呀！真惊讶啊！
托尼：你可以打开它！
玲玲：我想我不应当现在打开它。在中国，我们晚些时候打开礼物。
贝蒂：可是回到美国，我们立刻打开一件礼物。
玲玲：那我怎么办？
贝蒂：你不必等了！
（玲玲打开她的礼物，发现一本词典.）
玲玲：噢，谢谢你们。我真的很想要一本（词典）。
贝蒂：我们很高兴你喜欢它。
托尼: 我注意到另一个不同。在中国，你们用双手接受礼物。但是在西方，我们通常不太注意那个。
贝蒂：那很有趣！我对了解所有的中国传统习俗感兴趣。多告诉我一些吧。
玲玲：有许多。例如，在我的家乡，据说在春节的第一天你不能打扫卫生。你不能打破任何东西。那是不吉利的！
大明：你必须只用红色的纸来包红色，因为红色意思是幸运。在春节那个月期间你最好不要理发。
托尼：你不可能是认真的！
大明：在中国的北方，人们吃许多饺子！
贝蒂：完美！它们尝起来太好吃了。
托尼：我也喜欢吃饺子。无论怎样，春节还有一个多月呢。先让我们庆祝玲玲的生日吧！
Unit 2 In England you usually drink tea with milk

原文：
My experiences in EnglandI went to England last year.I enjoyed my stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.For example, you must say Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time.When you get to know each other better or when they ask you to, you can just use their first names.One day we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together.Afternoon tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm.We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake.In England you usually drink tea with milk.So I tried to drink tea with milk too.Fish and chips is the traditional food in England.You can buy it and eat it in special fish and chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your fingers!At the bus stop you must not push your way onto the bus.You need to stand in a line behind the other people and wait your turn.Sometimes people are slow to get on the bus.Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smile politely and say, “Excuse me! Are you waiting for this bus?” He was really polite.

我在英国的经历
王彗
去年我去了英国。
我在那里过得很愉快，我注意到一些英国人生活方式中有趣的事情。
例如，当你第一次见到某人时你必须说先生或夫人。
当你们互相熟悉或者当他们让你那么叫时，你可以只用他们的名字。
有一天，我们去拜访一些朋友并且一起喝下午茶。
下午茶并不只是一杯饮品，而是在下午大约4点钟的便餐。
我们吃了三明治和一个大的水果蛋糕。
在英国你通常喝奶茶。
所以我也尽量喝奶茶。
在英国，炸鱼和薯条是传统的食物。
你可以在高街（商业街）上的炸鱼和薯条专卖店中购买并吃它，或者你可以带走，用手指拿着吃！
它非常好吃！
在公交车站，你不要挤上公交车。
你需要在其他人的后面排队等待你的顺序。
有时人们上车慢。
一次，我注意到一位绅士碰了碰一个年轻人的肩膀，有礼貌地微笑着说：“对不起！你在等这辆公交车吗？”他真的很有礼貌。
