| 大家好，我是崔晨。这节课向大家介绍的是春节，是中国最重要的节日。每年阴历的最后一晚叫作除夕或大年三十。阴历的新年第一天叫作正月初一。正月初一开始到正月十五的元宵节，每一天都有不一样的讲究和过法，下面让我们来学习一下吧！ |
| 你知道在春节里最忌讳的事情是什么吗？ |
| 我会在这个视频的结尾告诉大家答案哦！ |
| 在除夕夜到来之前有很多事情要布置妥当。首当其冲的就是“扫房”这项家庭活动。中国人相信新的一年要有新气象，所以要把全家上上下下、里里外外全都打扫干净，把过去一年的坏运气都扫掉。等房间清扫完毕，人们会把春联贴在门上、窗户上，一片红火，非常喜庆。 |
| 在除夕夜中国人普遍都会打开电视观看一场长达5个小时的节目，俗称春晚。春晚不但有歌舞、魔术表演，还有相声、小品等独具中国特色的节目。据统计，刚刚过蛇年春晚，平均收视率高达31％，将近一半的中国人收看了这个节目。如此高的收视率，让明星们都挤破头想在这个舞台上争取到演出机会。 |
| 小孩子最盼望的就是得到压岁钱了。压岁钱也叫作红包，因为长辈一般会把人民币放在红色的信封里，作为礼物送出。随着中国人收入水平的提高，小孩子的红包也越来越厚，少则几千，多则上万。但也不用太羡慕他们，大部分情况下，这些红包很快会被家长收走，用于家庭支出了。 |
| 不过，对于年轻人来说，春节也是充满压力的节日。在饭桌上经常被长辈们询问诸如“有对象了吗？” “在哪家公司上班？” “一年能挣多少？”——这类有些令人头疼的问题。 |
| 现在我来告诉你们前面问题的答案。 |
| 你知道在春节里最忌讳的事情是什么吗？ |
| 春节的时候不可以说任何不吉利的话。比如筷子掉到地上不可以说“啊，掉了。”——人们迷信也许新一年的好运气也随之“掉了”。 |
| 这节课你觉得怎么样？你有学到很多有趣的东西吗？ |
| 在你的国家，也有在特定节日不许说一些话的禁忌吗？ |
| 请在ChineseClass101.com给我们留言吧。那我们下一节课，再见！ |

Laura,
Thanks. I know I'm being lazy: I can just click back and forth n my computer scrren.
On the other hand your way of doing it, with a little microphone on every sentence, is convenient, handsome, and pleasant to use.
Cheers,

Somewhere on the website I have seen the "2. Review Materials ~ All" selection give me line by line read backs. To the left there was a microphone-like button which played just one sentence at a a time.
Now I can't find anything like that. The Section 2 Review is exactly te same as the Section one reading, just a solid block of text. Yes, I can stop it and start it and "rewind," but the division that I had seen before sure was nice.
What happened? Am I selecting the wrong options? Or have you not installed this sentence-by-sentence review in this part of the courses?

What's with the sound quality? There are these little electronic noises every now and then. I thought my speakers were dieing.
