英孚雅思听力素材：圣诞树

Legend suggests that，in the late 16th century，Martin Luther(the founderof the Protestant religion)was the first to decorate an indoor tree withcandles when he attempted to recreate the stars shining over a forest ofevergreens.

The first mention of decorated trees being taken indoors came in 1605 inGermany-a country with a long Christmas tree history!The trees were initiallydecorated with fruit and sweets together with hand made objects such as quilledsnowflakes and stars.German Christmas Markets began to sell shaped gingerbreadsand wax ornaments which people bought as souvenirs of the fair and took home tohang on their tree.

Tinsel was also invented in Germany in about 1610.Up until fairly recentlyreal silver was used，which was pulled into wafer thin strips by specialmachines.This was durable but tarnished quickly and many experiments took placeto try and find an alternative-including a mix of lead and tin，which was tooheavy and kept breaking.It was only in the mid 20th century that a viablealternative was found.

另一个传说记载。据说有一位农民在一个风雪交加的圣诞夜里接待了一个饥寒交迫的小孩，让他吃了一顿丰盛的圣诞晚餐，这个孩子告别时折了一根杉树枝插在地上并祝福说：“年年此日，礼物满枝，留此美丽的杉村，报答你的好意。”小孩走后，农民发现那树枝竟变成了一棵小树，他才明白自己接待的原来是一位上帝的使者。这个故事就成为圣诞树的来源。在西方，不论是否基督徒，过圣诞节时都要准备一棵圣诞树，以增加节日的欢乐气氛。圣诞树一般是用杉柏之类的常绿树做成，象征生命长存。树上装饰着各种灯烛、彩花、玩具、星星，挂上各种圣诞礼物。圣诞之夜，人们围着圣诞树唱歌跳舞，尽情欢乐...
