Wu Gang Cuts the Laurel
It is said that there was an extremely tall laurel tree on the moon and a man called Wu Gang was ordered to cut down the tree as a punishment for offending the god of heaven. He was not allowed to go home until he could cut down the tree. But the problem was that each time he cut down the tree, it would quickly grow back, making it impossible for him to cut it down. Like Chang'e, he had no choice but to cut the tree on the moon forever.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Moon Cake Uprising
The custom of eating mooncakes on Mid-Autumn Festival is said to have begun in the end of Yuan Dynasty. One day, Zhu Yuanzhang’s military counselor (军师) thought of an idea, and ordered his subordinates (下级) to hide paperslips with "Uprising on August 15" on them in mooncakes. Then, the mooncakes were distributed among armies in different places, asking them to support the uprising on the night of August 15. After the successful uprising, Zhu was so happy that he allowed his men to celebrate the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival with the common people eating mooncakes.

Read the sentences below, paying attention to the underlined parts.
宾语从句：
概念：在复合句中，由一个句子充当宾语，这个句子叫做宾语从句。
宾语从句由“关联词+主语+谓语”构成。
引导宾语从句的关联词有that, if, whether, what, who, where, why和how等。
Grammar
总结一下吧！宾语从句的三要素：
一、关联词：that, if, whether, what, who,
where, why和how等。
二、时态：当主句用一般过去时时态时，
宾语从句要用过去的某种时态。
三、语序：宾语从句用陈述句语序，即 “主语+谓语”。如：
e.g. He asked me where my school was.
I didn’t know who she was.
连词that不能省略的几种情况
在由that引导的宾语从句中，由于连词that只起引导功能，无具体意义，不担当任何成份，因此在口语或非正式的文体中常可省略。然而，大凡规则总有例外的情况，在下列that引导的宾语从句中，that则不能省略。
1. 从句的主语是that。如：
He says that that is a real king’s hat.
他说那是一个真的王冠。
2. that从句中含有主从复合句。如：
I’m afraid that if you’ve lost it, you must pay for it.
3. 主、从句之间有插入语时。如：
It says here, on this card, that it was used in plays.
卡片上写着，它是古代演戏用的。
4. 若出现两个或两上以上的由that引导的宾语从句，且由并列连词连接时，只有第一个连词that可以省略。如：
She said (that) she would come and that she would also bring her son.
她说她要来，还要带她的儿子来。
These planet will produce food and oxygen that we need to live on Mars.
Scientists will develop plants that can grow on Mars.
People think that humans on Mars have to wear special boots to make themselves heavier.
We all know that Mars is a planet in the solar system.

Ⅰ. if和whether引导宾语从句时，作“是否”讲，一般情况下，二者没有区别，可以换用。但if常用于口语中，whether比较正式。如：
Millie asked if/whether he liked this sweater.
米莉问他是否喜欢这件羊毛衫。
The fisherman wants to know if/whether it will rain.
渔民想知道天是否会下雨。
Object clauses with if and whether
由if / whether引导的宾语从句
Ⅱ. if和whether引导宾语从句时，要注意宾语从句三要素，即连词、语序和时态。由于if和whether连接的是一般疑问句，因此要注意把从句语序改为陈述句语序。如：
Does Mr Zhao live in Room 208? Could you tell me?
→Could you tell me if/whether Mr Zhao lives in Room 208?
其次要注意时态变化：
1. 若主句是一般现在时，从句用任何所需时态。如：
He wants to know if / whether they had a good journey home.
他想知道他们回家旅途是否愉快。
2. 若主句是一般过去时，从句则用跟过去相关的时态。即一般现在时变为一般过去时、现在进行时变为过去进行时、一般将来时为过去将来时、现在完成时态变为过去完成时。如：
Did the train leave? She didn’t know.
→She didn’t know if / whether the train had left.
Ⅲ. if和whether的区别
二者在下列几种情况下不能换用：
1. 宾语从句置于句首表示强调时，应用whether，不用if。如：
Whether this is true or not, I can’t say.
这是否对，我不能说。
2. 宾语从句与or not直接连用时，应用whether，不能用if。如：
I don’t know whether or not he will come tomorrow.
我不知道他明天是否来。
3. 与动词不定式连用时，只能用whether。如：
She can’t decide whether to go to America.
她不能决定是否去美国。
4. 从句作介词宾语时，只能用whether。如：
I worry about whether I hurt her feeling.
我担心是否伤了她的感情。
5. 宾语从句的谓语动词是否定形式时，只能用if，不能用whether。如：
Tom wants to know if he won’t come here tomorrow.
汤姆想知道他明天是否不来这儿。
6. if意为“假如，如果”时，可以引导条件状语从句，而whether没有这个用法。如：
If Simon comes here tomorrow, I’ll call you.
假如西蒙明天来这儿，我将打电话告诉你。

Spring Festival
The 1st day of the first lunar month
According to the Chinese legends, there was a giant beast Nian who used to swallow humans in a single bite. Relief from the horrifying beast came only when people realized that Nian was scared of red color and loud noises. They started bursting crackers and used red color to scare the beast. Since then, this day was named as Guo Nian meaning “Pass over the Nian”. Chinese considered the day an auspicious one as it brought new life for them and celebrated it.

Santa Claus(圣诞老人)
传说每到12月24日晚上，有个神秘人会驾乘由9只驯鹿拉的雪橇，挨家挨户地从烟囱进入屋里，然后偷偷把礼物放在好孩子床头的袜子里，或者堆在壁炉旁的圣诞树下。虽然没有人真的见过神秘人的样子，但是人们通常装扮成头戴红色圣诞帽子，大大的白色胡子，一身红色棉衣，脚穿红色靴子的样子，因为总在圣诞节前夜出现派发礼物，所以习惯地称他为"圣诞老人"。
圣诞老人是不同传说和神秘人型的结合体。传说圣诞老人是在数千年前的斯堪的纳维亚半岛即出现。北欧神话中司智慧、艺术、诗词、战争的奥丁神，寒冬时节，骑上他那八脚马坐骑驰骋于天涯海角，惩恶扬善，分发礼物。与此同时，其子雷神穿红衣以闪电为武器与冰雪诸神昏天黑地恶战一场，最终战胜寒冷。据异教传说，圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。在德国中部和北部地区，尼古拉斯被称为“圣诞老人”，在英国被称为“圣诞父亲”，被美国的荷兰移民称为后来的“Santa Claus”。

Many would agree that when we think of
Christmas, we probably think of gifts,
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.
The Spirit of Christmas
A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written
by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. 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 punished 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 three spirits to visit him.

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

He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives
gifts to people in need.
He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!
After you read…
Now we have known the true meaning of Christmas, do you know the true meaning of Mid-Autumn Festival? Think about it and then discuss it with your partner.
Chinese people value this festival for its important meaning of “reunion”. And the mooncake is the symbol of “reunion”, just like the full noon.
