Passage1 传统上说，中国人在60岁以前对生日并不太注意。六十大寿被认为是人生中极为重要的一次，因此经常要举行盛大的庆祝。在此之后每隔10年就要举行一场生日庆祝，也就是70岁、80岁等，直到去世为止。大体上说，人的年龄越大，庆祝的场合就越隆重。生日经常是由成年子女来为他们的父母庆祝，以表现出对父母的尊敬并就父母为他们所做的一切表达自己的谢意。（162字） ☆Vocabulary: 1. celebration n.庆典，庆祝活动2. occasion n. 特殊的事件或庆典 3. grownup adj.成年的；n. 成年人4. elderly adj.

The 60th birthday is regarded as a very important point of life and therefore there is often a big celebration. After that, a birthday celebration is held every ten years, that is the 70th, the 80th, etc, until the person’s death. Generally, the older the person is, the greater the celebration occasion is. It is often the grownup sons and daughters who celebrate their elderly parents’ birthdays to show their respect for them and express their thanks for all that they have done for their children. ☆ Language Points: 1. ☆Generally, the older the person is, the greater the celebration occasion is. 此句核心框架是the older…the greater…，使用了“the +形容词比较级…, the +形容词比较级…”这一句式，意为“越…, 越…”。又如： The longer the war lasts, the more the people there will suffer. 战争持续得越久,那里的人们受难就越多。 2. ☆It is often the grownup sons and daughters who celebrate their elderly parents’birthdays to show their respect for them and express their thanks for all that they have done for their children. 此句It is…who…是一个强调句，强调主语the grownup sons and daughters。强调句句型为：It is/ was + 被强调部分（通常是主语、宾语或状语）+ that/ who…（当强调主语且主语指人）+ 其他部分。 ??
