IstillrememberthewayGrandmasaidgoodbyetomewhenIpackedmybagsandgotreadytoreturntoLondonafterspendingthesummerholidayathome.

那年我在四川老家过完暑假，收拾行李准备回伦敦时，奶奶跟我告别的场景，依然历历在目。TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA2“Workhardanddon’tmisshome,”shetoldmeatthefrontdoor,tryinghardtoholdbackherowntears.奶奶站在门口，强忍着眼泪对我说：“好好工作，不必挂念家里。”TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA3Then,shelimpedbackinsidebeforeIgotintoDad’scar.Isawherfrailandlonelyfigureslowlydisappearing.Asuddenfeelingofguiltoverwhelmedme.Ilongedtocallouttoher,toseeheronemoretime,butatthatmoment,Ifoundmyselfhelplesslysilent.

而后，在我坐上爸爸的车前，她便转身回屋。我看着奶奶瘦小孤单身影渐渐消失在视线中。那一瞬间，我的内心突然充满内疚感。我多想叫住她，再看她一眼，但那一刻，我却无可奈何地沉默了。TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA

我想要的不仅仅是和奶奶一起多待几分钟，或是多陪她几天。我想要的是弥补我旅居国外的16年光阴，那本该是我陪伴奶奶的时光。但是我知道，这永远也不可能。4WhatIwantedwasnotjusttospendafewmoreminutes,orevendayswithGrandma.Instead,Ilongedtomakeupforthetimewecouldhavespenttogetheroverthe16yearsIhadlivedabroad.Andthat,Iknow,isneverpossible.TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA5Grandmawasaguardianandangelinmyhappychildhood.Sheknittedmyfirstjumper,pickedmeupfromkindergarteneveryday,andputmetobedwithmyfavoritestories.WhenIwasinagoodmood,shewastheretoplayhide-and-seekwithmeagainandagain.ButwheneverIfeltoff-color,shewouldsitnexttomybed,holdingmyhandfarintothenight.

在我快乐的童年时光里，奶奶是我的守护神，是天使。奶奶为我织了第一件套头衫，每天到幼儿园接我，读我最喜欢的故事哄我入睡。在我充满活力的时，奶奶整日陪我玩捉迷藏。而我生病的时候，她又紧紧握着我的手，陪在床前直到深夜。TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA

奶奶总是鼓励她的儿孙们好好读书，追寻自己的梦想，不要挂念家乡。但是这就意味着，她要和儿孙们分离。奶奶的三个儿孙接连离开了家乡，他们考上了名校，在大城市有了体面的工作，最终在西方定居。6Shehasalwaysencouragedhergrandchildrentostudyhard,runaftertheirdreamsandnottomisshome.Infact,shewasalwayssayinggoodbyetohergrandchildren.Onebyone,allthreeofhergrandchildrenhaveleft,forgooduniversities,promisingjobsinbigcities,andeventuallyasettled,overseaslife.TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA7Shegaveusallhercare,loveandpatience,andneversoughtanythinginreturn.

奶奶在我们身上倾注了她所有的精力、爱和体力，却从不求回报。TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA8Filialpiety,otherwiseknownasxiao,isatthecoreofourculture.Originatingfromancienttimes,filialpietymeansloveandrespectforone’seldersandobeyingtheirwishes.Butthereissomethingelsetoo.Tofulfillfilialpiety,youhavetolivewiththem,andlookafterthemintheiroldage.

孝顺，又称孝，是中华文化的核心。孝道起源于儒家思想，意在敬爱尊重长辈，听从长辈的话。但孝道的意义不止于此。儿孙要尽孝，须得切切实实地陪伴、照料年迈的长辈。TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA9Workingabroad,Ihaveputupwiththeguiltofbeingnottrulyfilial.IwasnottheretotakeGrandmatohospital.Iwasnottheretohelpherrenovateherflat.Andnow,Ihatetoadmittheunspeakabletruththateachgoodbyecouldbealastone.

在国外工作的我一直因没能尽到孝心而愧疚。我没能送她去医院治疗。也没能帮奶奶翻新房子。而如今，每次和奶奶的分别都可能是最后一面，我不想承认这可怕的现实。TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA10Inthenewera,theyounghavebeeninspiredtopursuetheirowndreams.Theyareallowedtoventureabroadandstarttheircareersonaglobalstage,whichisofcourse,atthecostofbeingawayfromfamiliesandancestralhomes.

在新的时代，年轻人被激励去追求自己的梦想。他们可以走出国门，在世界舞台上追求自己的事业。当然，随之付出的代价就是远离家人故土。TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA11Inthe21stcentury,globalmigrationhaslongbecomeanorm.Manyofmyforeignfriendssaytheyfeelverylittleconnectiontotheirbirthcountries,afterafewsignificantmovesacrossregions.

在21世纪的现代，全球移民早已成为一种常态。我许多西方的朋友称，经过几次移居后，他们感觉自己与出生国的联系少之又少了。TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA12Butwearealittledifferent.Althoughweyounggenerationshaveembracednewlivesinadifferentplace,evenadifferentcountry,theunparalleledstrengthofourfamilytiesandfilialpietydeeplybondsustoourculturalroots.Likekitesflyinghighinthesky,wewillalwaysbeconnectedtothelandandthepeoplewhohaveshapedusintowhoweare.

但是中国有所不同。尽管中国的年轻一代在世界各地有了新生活，但家庭纽带的强大力量和孝道之心却是植根于中国文化中的。就像高飞的风筝，我们将永远与塑造了我们的那片土地和人民相连在一起。TextANotesGroupDiscussionTextA1IstillrememberthewayGrandmasaidgoodbyetomewhenIpackedmybagsandgotreadytoreturntoLondonafterspendingthesummerholidayathome.(Para.1)那年我在老家过完暑假，收拾行李准备回伦敦，奶奶跟我告别时的场景我依然历历在目。句中Grandmasaidgoodbyetome为定语从句，先行词是theway。theway在定语从句中作状语，还原后应该是Grandmasaidgoodbyetomeintheway，关系词可以用inwhich或that，也可以省略。

e.g.

我们一直在寻找一个有着少量鞑靼人口的欧洲国家，而如今一家鞑靼餐厅也出现在这个国家。顺便说—句，鞑靼人是穆斯林教徒，而那家餐厅位于波兰的东北部。TextBFoodThatDrawsPeopleTogetherReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextB2Thenweactuallypayavisittotherestaurantchef,JenataBogdanovic.Jenataisnowbusyingherselfinthekitchenofherrestaurant.ItisinarestoredfamilyfarmhouseinatinyvillageaboutamilefromtheborderwithBelarus.

于是我们确实到克鲁斯查涅尼村拜访了这家餐厅的主厨，詹纳塔·博格达诺维奇。詹纳塔·博格达诺维奇正在她餐厅的厨房里忙活着。这个小村庄坐落在离波兰与白俄罗斯接壤边界线一英里（约1.61公里）处，餐厅就在村里的—幢经过整修的农舍里。TextBReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextB

一进入厨房，浓烈的洋葱味扑鼻而来。詹纳塔正在烹饪的是你只会在鞑靼人家才能看到的家常菜。詹纳塔曾经参加了当地的烹饪大赛，她以一道大多数波兰人都不熟悉的菜在比赛中获胜。波兰的美食评论家蜂拥而至，她也因此吸引了不少游客。于是，詹纳塔在2003年创办了波兰的首家鞑靼餐厅。ReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextB4Jenataexplains,thecentralthemeofTatarcuisineismeat,lotsofmeat;mutton,venisonand,especiallybeef.Whatyouwon’tfindhereispork,becauseTatarsareMuslims.Allthatmeatispackagedinpastry.Thesearethedishesyouwouldexpectfromnomadichorsemen,suchasmeatinsidedough,whichiseasytocarryandeatonthego.

詹纳塔解释说，鞑靼美食的主题就是肉，他们吃大量的肉：羊肉、鹿肉，特别是牛肉。他们的食谱里惟独缺猪肉，因为鞑鄞人是穆斯林教徒。鞑靼人吃肉的方式是把它们放在面团里，这正是游牧民族吃的方式，例如用面团包着肉。因为这样方便携带，可以边走边吃。TextBReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextB5TodayJenataismakingPyzyandKoldunai.Pyzylooksabitlikeasmallfootball.Theyaredumplingsfilledwithheavilyspicedgroundmeatsurroundedbyadoughmadewithrawandcookedpotato.Sheboilstheminabeefbroth.

今天，詹纳塔做的是皮兹和卡尔敦纳这两道菜。皮兹的样子有点像个小小的足球，那就是汤团里填满了重口味的肉沫和生熟混杂的土豆团。她把皮兹放进了牛肉汤里煮。TextBReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextB6Koldunaiisavariationonthesametheme,butherethemeatisputintoapurseofpastrydoughgathereduplikeaclosedtulip.JenatasaysKoldunaiisoneofherfavoritedishes,becausehermosttreasuredfamilymemoriesareofsittingaroundthekitchentablewithhermomandhersisterspreparingthefood.Itwasatimetobetogether,totalk,andachancetohearhermom’sstoriesaboutthepast.

卡尔敦纳与皮兹区别不大，但这道菜是把肉放在了一个面袋里，这个面袋看起来像一朵合上了口的郁金香。詹纳塔说这是她最喜爱的菜肴之一，因为她最为珍惜的家庭记忆就是与母亲和姐妹们围坐在厨房的桌边，一起准备食物。那是与家人在一起的时间，大家一起交谈，母亲讲述她过去的事。TextBReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextB7Butitisnotallmeatandpotatoes.Butter,honeyandflourgointoapot.ThesearetheingredientsforHalvah,atraditionalIslamictreat.Jenatahasenlistedsomehelpforthefinalstages.TheHalvahissothick,andtwowomenarestirringtogether,throwingalltheirweightintoit.Itisadishthattakeshoursofstirring.TheHalvahissweet,butnottoosweet,richandvelvetyandalittlegooeyasitcools.Thisisdefinitelythekindoffoodthatdrawspeopletogether.AndthatkindofcommunityiscriticaltokeepthePolishTatarsawareoftheirculture.Thereareonlyabout3,000ofthemleftinthecountry.JenatawantsherrestauranttobeahavenforTatars.ShesaysTataryoutharoundtheworldcancometohertolearnaboutthemselvesandtheirhistory,andfindaplaceforreunion.TextBReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextBTextB

但他们的食物并不都是肉与土豆。把奶油、蜂蜜和面粉放进锅里，这些是哈尔瓦酥糖的原材料，那是伊斯兰食谱中的一款传统点心。詹纳塔在制作这款点心的最后阶段找了一些人来帮忙。哈尔瓦酥糖太粘稠了，两个妇女一起搅拌，用尽了全身的力气。这道甜点光是搅拌就要花上好几个小时。哈尔瓦酥糖是甜的，但不会太甜，而是口感醇厚、丝滑，凉了之后有点粘粘的，这确实是那种能够把人都召集在一起的食物。而要让波兰的鞑靼人时刻意识到自己的文化背景，这种把社区里的鞑靼人聚集到一起的方式是非常重要的。在波兰，鞑靼人口只有三千左右。詹纳塔希望自己的餐厅能成为鞑靼人的港湾。她说，世界上年轻的鞑靼人都可以到她这儿来，向她了解鞑靼人的文化和历史，找到一个属于自己的地方。NotesGroupDiscussionTextB1Theyaredumplingsfilledwithheavilyspicedgroundmeatsurroundedbyadoughmadewithrawandcookedpotato.(Para.5)它们是用生、熟两种土豆泥做面团，把调好味道的肉馅儿包起来的土豆团。句中filledwithheavilyspicedgroundmeat为过去分词短语作后置定语，相当于定语从句whicharefilledwithheavilyspicedgroundmeat…修饰dumplings；同样surroundedbyadough修饰meat，madewithrawandcookedpotato修饰adough。e.g.

毕竟，在过去，人们总会把钻石和黄金联系起来。如今，最昂贵的珠宝设计将钻石镶嵌在铂金上。事实是，铂已经在地球上存在了数十亿年。TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA3MeteoritescontainplatinumandmeteoriteshavebeenlandingontheEarthforbillionsofyearsalready.Itiskindofromanticifyouthinkaboutit.Thatpurewhiteplatinumjewelrycouldoncehavebeenpartofastar,partofameteoritethattraveledthroughspacebeforeitlandedonourworld.

数十亿年前，陨石已经着陆在地球上，而铂金蕴含在陨石中。仔细想想，会有几分浪漫的感觉吧！那纯白的铂金首饰可能曾经是某颗星的一部分，可能是穿过太空着陆我们世界的某块陨石的一部分。TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA

具有讽刺意味的是，曾经有一段时间，那些四处寻找黄金的人们认为铂金是一种劣质金属。铂金看起来像银，所以在1590年，当西班牙人发现铂金时，他们把它命名为platina，意思是小小的银子。新发现的铂金被扔回了河里，当时人们完全误解了它的价值。4Ironically,therewasatimewhenplatinumwasthoughttobeaninferiormetalbypeoplesearchingforgold.Platinumlookslikesilver,sowhenplatinumwasdiscovered,itwasnamedplatina,whichmeanssilver.Theplatinumafterbeingdiscoveredwasthrownbackintotheriver,itsvaluetotallymisunderstoodatthattime.TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA5Later,KingLouisXVIofFrancedeclaredplatinumtobetheonlymetalfitforkings.Thusbegantheloveofplatinumbytheroyals.QueenElizabethII’scrownwasmadeofplatinum.EvenHollywoodcelebritiesappreciatethevalueofplatinum.ElvisPresleyexchangedplatinumweddingringswithhiswifePriscilla.JoeDiMaggiogaveMarilynMonroeathree-caratsolitairediamondplatinumengagementring.Infact,diamondplatinumringsarethepreferredengagementringsofmodernpeople.

后来，法国国王路易十六宣布铂金是唯一适合国王使用的金属。皇室就这样开始了对铂金的热爱。英国伊丽莎白二世女王拥有铂金制成的王冠。就连好莱坞的明星大腕也对铂金的价值情有独钟。猫王埃尔维斯·普雷斯利与妻子普里西拉交换了铂金结婚戒指。乔·迪马吉奥送给玛丽莲·梦露3克拉独钻铂金订婚戒指。事实上，钻石铂金戒指也是现代人首选的婚戒。TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA

铂是一种特殊的金属。它不会褪色或失去光泽，不会腐蚀。事实上，铂金是如此持久恒定而被用来制作公斤的标准砝码。铂金是永恒的，钻石是永恒的，这也是钻石和铂金完美搭配的原因之一。6Platinumisaspecialmetal.Itdoesnotfadeortarnish.Itdoesnotcorrode.Itissolastingthatplatinumisusedtomakethestandardkilogramweight.Platinumiseternal;diamondsareeternal,too.Thatisoneofthereasonswhydiamondsandplatinumaretheperfectmatch.TextAReadingthroughGroupDiscussionTextA7Anotherreasonwhydiamondsandplatinumgotogetheristhecolorofplatinum.Platinumisabrilliantwhite.Diamondsa
