Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors*閱讀理解。Imagine this scene: its blowing outside, and you snuggle (蜷伏) up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the title of “the happiest country in the world”, the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.Hygge originally from a Norwegian word meaning well-being doesnt have an exact equivalent (等同物) in English. Its often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, “coziness of the soul”. But, as professor Maren Spark explains, “Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical Hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.However, hygge isnt only limited to the cold winter months it can also describe that warm, fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on summers day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.1.The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to_ .A. help the readers to calm downB. introduce the topic of the passageC. present the main idea of the passageD. remind the readers of their past memories2.What do the underlined words by Maren Spark mean?A.

At customs, he took a few minute to look for his passport. “You had been to France before, sir？” the customs officer asked joking. Mr Whiting admitted to that he had been to France previously. “Then you should know enough to have my passport ready.” The American said, “The last time I was here, I didnt have to show them.” “Impossible. Americans always have to show passports on arrival in France！” The American gave the Frenchman long hard look. Then he quietly explained, “Well, when I came in 1944 to help liberating this country, I couldnt find some Frenchmen to show it to.”答案：Recently, Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman 83, arrived in Paris by plane.
