As I look at my clock and calculate（計算） the time back home I realize that half a world away, people are busy getting ready for a wedding. The bride is my niece（侄女）, a person I first met when she was three days old.I think back to the first time I had the opportunity to bee acquainted with（開始了解；知道 熟悉） my niece. As my sister cradled（n 搖籃 vt 撫育） her in her arms, the infant（adj嬰兒的 幼稚的 未成年的 ） girl clasped（緊抱） her mother39。星火貫通英語15篇文章貫通六級詞匯Preface 前言Directions 使用說明Unit 1 In Another Worm 另一個世界Unit 2 Let39。s Dress UpIt39。s outstretched（伸開的） finger. My intuition（直覺） told me that her temperament（氣質(zhì) 性格 急躁） would be a sunny disposition（ 性情 部署 傾向）, a joy to people around her.As she grew, the cute little girl had an infectious（） laugh that started as a small grin（n. ）, then became a giggle（n. ） and grew louder and louder until it triggered（觸發(fā) 引起） a response from all the people around her and they joined in.As an adolescent （未成年 青春期）, she studied hard and enjoyed well deserved success in secondary （中等的 第二的 次要的）school as she interacted（互相影響 互相作用） with（與….相互作用）her peer（貴族，同等的人） group（同輩群體）. After receiving her high school diploma（高中文憑）, she chose nursing as her career.From the beginning of the young couple’s romance it was evident（明顯的 明白的） that they were patible（兼容的 能共處的） and were pletely intrigued with（對….感興趣） each other. The couple had an engagement party when I was at home in Canada a few months ago. The party was in the form of a piic in a beautiful rose garden. To celebrate and to toast their future, we drank champagne. As they posed（擺姿勢） under an arch（拱門）covered with climbing roses, we snapped（啪啪作響 拍快照） pictures for their photo album(相簿).The couple decided on a fall wedding. Plans for the wedding day were activated immediately. The decisions about the forthing（即將來臨的） event were shared by the whole family. A close friend of the family was contacted and invited to sing a solo just prior to（在….之前） the ceremony. The day before the ceremony, a rehearsal（排演） would take place so that the remainder（剩余的） of the details could be looked after and attended to. The planning that takes place beforehand for one of these events and all the work that the big day entails, with many people collaborating to make the event run smoothly, are immense. The conscientious attention to detail will be evident to the spectators of this event.I can imagine the excitement and emotions of the family today. The time is near. The ceremony will begin in 3 short hours. The bride will be radiant as she es down the aisle escorted by her father. She will wear her grandmother39。s apparent happiness. The picture will be one that will embody hope for the future of humanity.As the couple exchange wedding vows they will be affirming their love and making a mitment to each other. All the spectators are there to wish them well.As the time approaches, I think back to other family weddings over many years. My older sisters were all married in the same church and as brides they carried a white Bible decorated with tiny roses. The receptions for their weddings were all held in the same church basement, as there was no large banquet hall in the local area. The feast was usually catered by a group of church members.Today39。s name printed on it and the date of their wedding. It will be carefully folded placed on top and of a linen napkin. This will be one of the souvenirs the guests will have to memorate the special wedding day. Also at each place will be a few after dinner mints for the guests. A miniature tree will also be placed at each persons place. The intent is for the guests to take the little tree home and transplant it to a special place. In this way, our environment is also improved and the tree will bee a living tribute to the young couple.The groom will carry her across the threshold as is customary for a young couple as they begin their new life together. The honeymoon plans will take them to the west coast of Canada. They will have a week of privacy far away from friends and family. They will inhabit a condominium in the town of Whistler, British Columbia, in the Rocky Mountains. They will feel as if they are royalty living in a mansion in this little bit of paradise on earth. Thereafter, they will return home to Ontario where they will reside.Their original plan to spend their honeymoon on board a yacht in the Mediterranean Sea was abandoned when world circumstances dictated that our country Canada was a safer choice.Earlier this month, as I thought about the forthing marriage, and knew that I would be unable to attend, I decided to write a message to the young couple. The intent was that the message would be read aloud during the wedding reception. In the message, I wished them well and urged them to cherish each other every day. （1083 words）UNIT 2Let39。s HalloweenFrom early childhood getting dressed up is connected with a special pastime in North America, called Halloween. Halloween is celebrated on the last night of October, when the air is crisp and snow is not far off. Every young child is acquainted with this exciting tradition.On the last day of October when dinner is finished, children hurry to dress up in a costume. Darkness es early at this time of year and caution must be practiced, foremost by the children who are going from house to house, “trick or treat”. Parents warn their children not to dart out in front of cars. In all the excitement it is easy for children to bee distracted and ignore safety rules.Planning what your costume will be, ahead of time, is part of the fun of the evening. Many mothers will spend time fabricating outfits for their little girls who suddenly turn into circus clowns, beautiful ballet dancers or weird colorful bugs. Fathers may help their sons construct a costu
