Memories of Christmas
For me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold, windy month of November. My sister, Alison, and I sat down in front of① the fire and wrote a letter to② Father Christmas telling him about all the presents③ we wanted④. We seriously wrote “Father Christmas, the North Pole⑤” on the envelope, before giving them to our mother to post.
With⑥ December our excitement grew each day —⑦as we opened the new year calendar⑧， Christmas cards arrived in the post, Christmas lights appeared⑨ in the streets, and we attended⑩ the town carol⑪ service. And of course, there was snow everywhere. Enough snow to make snowmen, and to have exciting snowball fights in the school playground⑫.
①in front of在……(外部)的前面
in the front of在……(内部)的前面
②write a letter to sb.给某人写信
③present n．[C]礼物；adj.当前的；出席

⑤the North Pole北极 the South Pole南极
⑥with prep.意为“同，和，跟”，表伴随。
⑦as we opened ...是as引导的时间状语从句。
⑧calendar/’kælIndə/n.日历

⑪carol/’kærəl/n.(尤指)圣诞节颂歌
⑫两个并列的动词不定式短语to make snowmen和to have ...作定语。

圣诞节的记忆
[第1～2段译文]
在我的记忆中，圣诞节总是从寒冷多风的十一月中旬就开始了。我和姐姐艾莉森坐在火炉前给圣诞老人写信，告诉他我们想要的所有礼物。我们在信封上认真地写上：寄“北极圣诞老人”，然后交给妈妈去邮寄。
随着十二月的来临，我们的兴奋与日俱增——我们翻开新年日历，圣诞卡片纷至沓来，街上亮起了圣诞灯，我们参加了镇里的圣诞颂歌演唱。当然了，处处是积雪，足够堆雪人和在学校操场上打一场激动人心的雪仗了。
On Christmas Eve, the whole family⑬ helped to decorate⑭ the house, put up⑮ the Christmas tree, the decorations⑯ and the balloons. Then, in the afternoon, when Auntie Kathleen and my two cousins arrived⑰， everything was ready. Before we went to bed⑱， we left some wine and biscuits for Father Christmas and then put our stockings⑲ at the end of our beds. We tried to stay awake⑳ as long as possible to see Father Christmas but the next thing we knew it was morning. Christmas morning！,⑬the whole family＝all the family
注意whole, all与the的位置。
⑭decorate vt.装饰
be decorated with装饰着
⑮put up竖起，建造，挂起，升起
⑯decoration/ˌdekə’reIʃn/n.装饰；装饰品
⑰when Auntie Kathleen ...为when引导的时间状语从句。
⑱Before we went to bed为时间状语从句，before意为“在……之前”。
⑲stocking/’stɒkIŋ/n.长筒女袜
⑳stay awake醒着
as ... as possible (＝as ... as sb. can) 尽可能……
[第3段译文]
圣诞节前夕，全家人都来帮忙装饰房屋，竖起圣诞树，挂上各种装饰品和气球。然后，在下午，当凯思琳姑妈和两个表兄弟到达的时候，一切就都已准备就绪。上床前，我们给圣诞老人留了些酒和饼干，在床尾放上长筒袜。我们尽量不让自己睡着，想(亲眼)看看圣诞老人，但当我们醒来时，已经是第二天清晨了——圣诞节的早晨！
At the bottom of the bed was the stocking, now full of all kinds of small presents and sweets. Christmas morning was bright and sunny and, after church, my cousin David and I went out into the garden to play with our new presents. Lunch was always late, but what a lunch! A

big turkey with all the vegetables followed by Christmas pudding. I like turkey breast the best. I put so_much_food_in_my_mouth_sometimes_that it was hard to swallow . We sang Christmas carols happily, laughed at jokes, put on silly paper hats and laughed again.
at the bottom of在……底部
play with摆弄，玩弄
介词短语with all the vegetables作定语，修饰turkey，过去分词短语followed by Christmas pudding作定语，也修饰turkey。
pudding/’pʊdIŋ/n.布丁
breast/brest/n.(鸟的)胸脯肉；胸部
so ... that ...如此……以至于……
such ... that ...如此……以至于……
swallow/’swɒləʊ/vt.吞下，咽下
put on穿上，戴上(表动作)
put on＋衣服 dress＋人
sang ... laughed at ..., put on ... and laughed为连动式谓语，and连接前后几个并列的动作。
[第4段译文]
床尾的袜子里已装满各种各样的小礼物和糖果。圣诞节的早晨阳光明媚。做完礼拜后，我和堂兄戴维到花园里摆弄那些刚刚收到的礼物。午餐总是很晚，但可真够丰盛啊！有一个塞满各种各样蔬菜的大火鸡，之后是圣诞布丁。我最喜欢吃火鸡的胸脯肉了。我往嘴里塞满食物，有时都难以吞咽。我们高兴地唱着圣诞颂歌，讲着笑话，戴上傻傻的纸帽子，哈哈大笑。
After lunch, the adults slept on the sofas in front of the Queen’s speech on television while we all played cards. Then we had tea, with a huge Christmas cake covered with snowmen. It didn’t seem possible, but we carried on eating. By bedtime all of the children were very tired. As soon as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep, happy sleep.
adult/’ædʌlt/n.成年人
while conj.意为“然而，而”，表示对比。
with ... cake covered ...是“with＋宾语＋过去分词”结构，强调宾语是动作的承受者。该结构叫做with复合结构，这是其具体形式之一。
carry on继续，坚持

[第5段译文]
午饭后，我们打牌，大人们则躺在播放女王演讲的电视前面的沙发上睡着了。接着我们喝茶，吃上面雪人的圣诞大蛋糕。蛋糕大得好像吃不了，但我们还是不停地吃着。到该上床睡觉时，所有的孩子都筋疲力尽了。我们一关灯就都沉沉地进入了甜美的梦乡。

Ⅰ.完形填空
Two weeks before Christmas, Mum told me we were going to my grandma’s house for the holiday. Grandma and Uncle Henry lived on a farm some 15 miles out of town.

When Christmas Eve arrived, Mum told me in her best “Imeanit” voice to __3__ all the decorations from our tree. She packed those up, along with all the trimmings (配料) for a __4__ turkey dinner.
Christmas morning __5__ perfectly, with the sun shining brightly across a fresh blanket of snow. __6__ I sulked (生闷气) silently in the backseat of the car as we made our __7__ to Grandma’s. This was going to be the __8__ Christmas ever!
Grandma was __9__ to see us as we walked up to her door. “What on earth are you doing here？” she stammered. “We weren’t expecting __10__. It’s Christmas, and I don’t even have a turkey to __11__ for you.” “I knew that，” Mum said as we set boxes of goodies on the kitchen table. “That’s __12__ we brought one with us.” “We must have a __13__，” Mum insisted. “__14__， what will we do with all these decorations？”
Uncle Henry quickly caught Mum’s spirit. He called me to join him, and we __15__ a perfect Christmas tree in the woods. Soon the __16__ smelled fresh as we decorated the tree, and the day __17__ a festive air. The turkey dinner was very good, too. I was actually beginning to enjoy this unusual Christmas day!
Dessert was forgotten __18__ Mum came out with the final surprise — a flaming pudding! “Merry Christmas, Mother！” Mum said. “Dear me！” Grandma gasped. “I haven’t seen a flaming pudding since I left England.” Tears of __19__ filled her eyes.
I could not keep the tears __20__ my eyes, either. I knew then that Mum had also given me the best Christmas present ever — she had taught me what a beautiful thing it is to give.
