泰国泼水节
泰国泼水节又称“宋干节”，在每年的4月13日，历时三天，是泰国的重要节日。泰国泼水节代表着清除所有的邪恶、不幸和罪恶，并怀着一切美好和纯净开始新的一年。
每年4月13日到15日连续三天是泰国的宋干节，The Songkran Festival，又称“泼水节”。宋干是梵文，意为“太阳运行到白羊座，既新的太阳年开始”，这也是泰国一年中最热的时候。宋干节(泼水节)当天会一连举行三天的庆祝活动：从4月13日的宋干节或是除夕，到4月14日的新年暖身(Wan Klang或Wan Nao)及4月15日新年(Wan Taleung)。
在节日来临之前，人们要清扫家内外，焚烧旧衣服，以避晦气；节日期间人们则互相泼水祝福，还会举办布施法会、选美大赛、花车游行、美食展览、文化艺术表演等一系列庆祝活动。按照习俗，这期间人们白天要到寺庙中堆沙塔，插彩旗献花，祈求五谷丰登；晚上将浸有花瓣的香水洒在长辈的手臂上、背上，表示对长辈的美好祝福，此后长辈再将水淋在晚辈的头上，表示来自长辈的赐福。
泼水节的根本意义在于其清理和净化的过程——清除所有的邪恶、不幸和罪恶，并怀着一切美好和纯净开始新的一年。水在这个节日中代表了纯洁和清理的过程。

Let’s find out what’s on tonight .
Find out the Object Clauses
注：that 在句中无词汇意义，在从句中不能充当成分，在口语当中往往省略。
e.g.
1.I hear (that) he will be back in an hour.

2.He said (that) he missed us very much.
1.由从属连词that引导的宾语从句
2.由从属连词 whether, if 引导的宾语从句
I want to know if/whether she is right .

They didn’t know whether Tom could come back or not .
if/whether 引导宾语从句 表示“是否”
if/whether可互换, 但whether…or not为固定搭配.
3.由连接代词 Who, whom, whose, which, what 和连接副词 where, how, why, when引导的宾语从句
e.g.
1.Do you know whose book it is ?

2.Please tell me when we’ll have a meeting .

3.Could you tell me why the train is late?

4.He asked who could answer the question.
当主句是一般现在时，宾语从句的时态不作限制，我们可以根据句子的意思来使用需要的任何一种时态。

He will go to Hong Kong .
He is sick.
He is reading a book .
He has finished his work.
He had finished his work.
He would go to Hong Kong .
He was sick.

当主句是一般过去时的时候，宾语从句必须运用相应的过去的某一种时态，从而达到主句和从句的相互一致。
the sun is much bigger than the moon .
Summer is after Spring .
the earth moves around the sun.
He told me (that)
We kmew (that)
The teacher told us (that)
当宾语从句说明的是客观存在的事实或者是客观存在的真理时，就不用受到主句时态的限制，仍是用一般现在时态。
Danny says that he will learn English.

Do you know where he came from?

Please tell me how I can get to the bus station .
无论主句是陈述句还是疑问句，宾语从句都是运用陈述句的语序，即是“主语在前，谓语在后”的顺序。
3.宾语从句的语序
宾语从句三要素
that+陈述句
if／whether+一般疑问句
特殊疑问词+特殊疑问句

2. I don’t know __________ or not I’ll be free tomorrow.
3. The question is __________ this book is worth writing.
whether/if
whether
whether
用if 或whether 填空
1).whether和if都可以引导宾语从句

eg: I don’t know whether or not he will come.
注意：如果or not放在whether所引导的从句
句尾，则可以用if来替换。
I don’t know whether/if he will come or not.
eg: I worry about whether I hurt her feeling.
2.注意whether和if的使用区别
a.当whether后紧跟or not时,不用if.
b.介词后面的宾语从句不能用if.
He asked me whether I wanted to go there
by train or by bus.
他问我是想乘火车还是坐公共汽车去那里。
注：whether和or一起还有“不管”之意,引
导让步状语从句。
Whether he drives or takes the train, he
will be here on time.
不管开车来还是乘火车来，他都会准时到。
c.在强调任意选择时,用whether…or,此时不用 if 替换whether。
e.g. Whether he will come I am not sure.
e.g. He asked me whether I’d move to New York if I got the job.
d. 虽引导宾语从句，但为了强调宾语部分，也可把从句放在句首，此时只用whether不用if。
e. 句子中有if 引导的条件句，如再有表示“是否”的宾语从句，用whether不用if。
Please let me know if you need help.
如果你需要帮助请告诉我。
或：请告诉我你是否需要帮助。对比：
Please let me know whether you need help.
请告诉我你是否需要帮助。
I don’t know if it won't rain tomorrow.
我不知道明天是不是会下雨。
f. 容易产生歧义时用whether不用if来表示
“是否”。
g. 如果宾语从句为否定句时，则只用if不用whether。
2).引导主语从句置于句首时，只能用whether
e.g. Whether he comes or not makes no difference.
3). Whether可以引导表语从句和同位语从句，if不可以
4).用在动词不定式之前时用whether不用if。
I don’t know whether to go there at once.
我不知道是不是该立刻去那里。
a. 在主+谓+it(形式宾语)+宾补+that 从句(真正
宾语) 的句型中不省略.
eg: We must make it clear that we mean what
we say.
b. 由连词and连接的两个由that引导的宾语从句
中,第二个that 不省略.
3. that在宾语从句中的省略与保留
eg: He told me（ that） he would come and that he would come on time.
c.当that作介词except, in等宾语时
e.g. They believe in that she must still be single.
I know nothing about him except that he is
living in Beijing.
学习宾从三注意，时态语序和连词。
时态主从要呼应：
主句若为现在时，从句时态随句意；
主句若为过去时，从句时态变过去；
宾从若是表真理，时态不变无质疑。
语序要用陈述序，切莫照搬疑问句。
That 连接陈述句，省与不省要注意。
从句若表“是否”时，if/whether要慎记。
特殊问句作宾语，仍用原来疑问词。
三个问题需牢记，切莫丢东忘了西。

4b Read the passage below and underline the objective clauses. If possible write your own sentences about Mother’s Day and Father’s Day using objective clauses.
Dear Xia Yu,
Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children often give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch
or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gifts to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to show our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of
money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.

Do you know what is
“trick or treat”?
trick or treat
万圣节的主要活动是“不给糖就捣乱”。小孩装扮成各种恐怖样子，逐门逐户按响邻居的门铃，大叫："Trick or Treat!"（意即不请客就捣乱），主人家（可能同样穿着恐怖服装）便会拿出一些糖果、巧克力或是小礼物。部分家庭甚至使用声音特效和制烟机器营造恐怖气氛。在苏格兰，小孩要糖果时会说：“The sky is blue, the grass is green, may we have our Halloween.”（天是蓝色，草是绿色，齐来庆祝万圣节前夜），然后以唱歌跳舞等表演来博得糖果。
万圣节在每年的10月31日，是西方传统节日。万圣节源自古代凯尔特民族的新年节庆，此时也是祭祀亡魂的时刻，在避免恶灵干扰的同时，也以食物祭拜祖灵及善灵以祈平安渡过严冬。
万圣节前夜起源于与邪恶幽灵相关的庆祝活动，所以骑着扫帚的女巫、幽灵、小妖精和骷髅都是万圣节的标志物。蝙蝠、猫头鹰和其他夜间活动的动物也是万圣节的普遍标志。起初，这些动物让人觉得非常可怕，因为人们认为这些动物能和死者的幽灵进行交流。
Halloween
黑猫也是万圣节的标志物，并且也有一定的宗教起源。人们认为黑猫可以转生，具有预言未来的超能力。在中世纪，人们认为女巫可以变成黑猫，所以人们一看到黑猫就会认为它是女巫假扮的。这些标志物都是万圣节服装的普遍选择，也是贺卡或橱窗上很常用的装饰。
南瓜灯是庆祝万圣节的标志物。传说有一个名叫杰克的人非常吝啬，因而死后不能进入天堂，而且因为他取笑魔鬼也不能进入地狱，所以，他只能提着灯笼四处游荡，直到审判日那天。人们为了在万圣节前夜吓走这些游魂，便用芜菁、甜菜或马铃薯雕刻成可怕的面孔来代表提着灯笼的杰克，这就是南瓜灯的由来。

Christmas
圣诞节时为纪念基督耶稣诞生而在12月25日举行庆祝活动的节日。12月24日晚上被成为圣诞夜，是家庭团聚、共进晚餐、互赠礼品的时间。圣诞树多为节日的必需之物，一般是小枞树或者松树，树枝上挂满了各种装饰物和彩灯，树顶上通常有一颗明亮的星星。
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”。
