题目内容

On Saturday my Catalan friend invited me to come along to a Calotada. Being from the UK, I had no idea what this would need, but he promised me it was a fun Catalan(卡塔兰)tradition, and so I agreed to go. I wasn’t disappointed!

First, we took a train out to a small town near Tarragona, about an hour away from Barcelona centre. I was already amazed by how different everything looked from the city as the train rushed through small towns, all sitting on the coastline.

When we arrived, we were greeted by the sight of a small wind instrument band and about a dozen people dancing in a circle. While my friend later told me that it is a traditional Catalan dance called La Sardana, at the time I was totally confused at what I was seeing! It seemed so strange but yet so lovely that they were doing this dance completely for themselves.

Once we had been fully entertained by the dancers, we finally went inside for the Calotada and it was soon revealed to me what it actually was. We sat down at the table and a huge plate of leeks(大葱)was placed in front of us. It was explained to us that you have to peel the leeks with your fingers, dip them in a (delicious!) sauce and eat them. This sounds easier than it was.

My friend had been right in the end, it had been an extremely fun day and it felt great to get involved in a local tradition of a place I am temporarily calling home. It really inspired me to learn more about the Catalan culture, although hopefully next time it will be something less messy!

One day,Nick invited his friends to supper.He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen.Suddenly,he 1.(find) that he had run out of salt.So Nick called to his son,“Go to the village and buy some salt,but pay a fair price for it: neither too much2.too little.”

His son looked surprised.“I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much.Father,but if I can pay less,3.not save a bit of money?”

“That would be a very4.(reason) thing to do in a big city,but it could destroy a small village like ours,”Nick said.

Nick's guests,5.had heard their conversation,asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied,"The only reason a man would sell salt6.a lower price would be that he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect7.me sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."

"But such a small thing couldn't8.(possible) destroy a village."

“In the beginning,there was only9.very small amount of unfairness in the world,but everyone added a little, always10.(think) that it was only small and not very important,and look where we have ended up today.”

Maybe no one forgets their first bike and there is no exception to a woman like me. Mine was a Schwinn coaster bike, second-hand, painted red and yellow by its previous owner. I remember riding too fast down the big hill on Springfield Avenue. I knew at once that the world was mine to explore.

A couple of years later, when I was 11, my grandmother visited from England, bringing me a bike. It was a dark green one, with three gears (齿轮) and hand brakes. As the owner of the first English bike my friends had ever seen, I was almost famous.

Unlike my coaster bike, it was light—riding it felt like flying. I rode past big stone houses with their huge yards and trees. I rode past brick row houses. I rode alone and with groups of friends.

That beloved bike went with me to college, carrying me to the library and to classes. Beyond transport, it was often a prop (道具): Pushing it along as I walked the college paths made me feel less self-conscious. Somehow, conversation flowed more easily on either side of a bike.

After college, I lived abroad for a while. Returning from London, I discovered to my horror that my parents had sold my bike.

For years after that, I didn't have a bike that was really mine. Teaching in a New England prep school (学校), I simply rode whatever bikes its graduates had left behind. I rode around the little town on bikes with gears and brakes that often failed. I did not take any of those bikes with me when I moved south to the coastal town where I now live. But after a while I missed riding.

Finally, on a fall day, I bought a bike. Called a comfort bike, it has wider tires than my old bike and seven gears. But it is green—a brighter green bike.

Still, I was a bit worried; I was a lot older. I brought the bike home and put on my helmet—I'd never worn a helmet before. Then I got on the bike. After a difficult start, I felt exactly as I was on that long-ago day on Springfield Avenue: free. Soon I was riding along, watching the waves break. It seemed that everyone I passed smiled. And I knew they all remembered their first bike and how it had set them free. I wanted to call back to them, "It still can!"

I can still remember clearly the day after I had my first exam. I didn’t pass them. I was so scaring that I even don’t want to go to school any more. My parents looked at my test paper and said. “My children, we’re very glad you has finished half of it. You can do better next time. We never expect you to do the best at a very beginning. We hope you can make progress gradual.” What they said made me to feel I could do things well.

From then, I concentrated more on my studies. Now I’m always filling with confidence in my studies because I know my parents are always behind me.
