試題詳情
Hanukkah Hanukkah（光明節(jié)） is a Jewish festival.It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev （猶太教歷），which is usually sometime in December.It is often called the festival of lights.The festival celebrates the time，over 2，000 years ago，when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion.When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem，they found there was only enough holy oil to keep the sacred light burning for one day.However，to their surprise，this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights，until the people had time to make more oil.
At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick （called a Menorah） that holds nine candles.On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit，and each day this candle is used to light another candle，until on the eighth day，the last day，all the candles are lit.During Hanukkah，people go to the synagogue （猶太教堂） to pray and to remember the miracle （奇跡） of the holy oil.Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together.People exchange gifts and greeting cards，and children go to parties.Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah.Potato cakes，called latkes，are a traditional Hanukkah food.Hanukkah is a small and not very important holiday in the Jewish year.However，the Hanukkah story tells us a Jewish culture living through in a non-Jewish world.

3．"Colour" and "color"， "favourite" and "favorite"， "honour" and "honor"...Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a "u"？Is it because they are lazy？
Of course not.In fact，the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster（1758-1843）.He was a teacher who reformed 'English to make American identity stronger.Linguists celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.
After the Revolutionary War（1775 - 1783），Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary，rather than rely on British dictionaries.
He dropped the British "u" in some words.And he changed "centre" into "center" for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded.He used "subway" instead of British word "underground".Some other examples are "soccer" and "football"， "fall" and "autumn".
Webster wasn't shy about expressing his opjye.aiions.In defining" preposterous （unreasonable），he wrote： "A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.
Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70，000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828.He also added local words.
His dictionary was widely used in schools.Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity" and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.
"He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity，" said Joshua Kendall，who is working on a book about Webster. "He at last brought us together through our language.
