Unit1 How can we become good learners?How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I 文案大全looked up the words in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.P6 2bHow Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.Creating an interest in what they learnStudies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.文案大全Practicing and learning from mistakesGood learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “use it or lose it”! Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Practice makes perfect. Good learners are also not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.Developing their study skillsIt is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. Good learners find out the best ways to learn well. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.Asking questionsGood learners oft en ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a life-long journey because every day brings文案大全well.Unit 2 I think that mooncakes are delicious!P13 3aFull Moon, Full FeelingsChinese people have been celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon onmid-autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the famili es they love and miss.There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him a magic medicine to thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drink it with Chang’e. However, a bad man, Feng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She be came very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was 文案大全so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back!After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.P12 4bDear Xia Yu,Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children oft en give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gift s to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to s how our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.文案大全JuneP14 2bThe Spirit of ChristmasMany would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gift s, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and is perhaps the best example of this.A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood 文案大全activity during Easter is to hide eggsaround your home or_________for friends or________ to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Not only do people________them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these_________as gifts. So just like Christmas, Easter creates good________for supermarkets and chocolate stores.Unit3Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?UNIT 3P19 3aFun Times Park — Always a Fun Time![Alice and He Wei are in Space World]Alice: I wonder where we should go next.He Wei: How about that new ride over there?Alice: Oh ... it looks pretty scary.文案大全He Wei: Come on! I promise it’ll be fun! If you’re afraid, just shout or hold my hand.[After the ride]Alice: You were right, that was fun! I was scared at first, but shouting really did help.He Wei: See, that wasn’t so bad, right? You never know until you try something.Alice: Yes, I’m so glad I tried it. Now I know I can do it and it’s actually fun!He Wei: Do you want to go to Water World now?Alice: Sure, but I’m really hungry. Do you know where we can get some good food quickly?He Wei: Of course! I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World. It’s a fast food place. It serves delicious hamburgers and hot dogs.Alice: That sounds perfect![On their way to Water City Restaurant, Alice and He Wei pass by Uncle Bob’s.]Alice: Oh, look! This restaurant looks interesting. It seems a rock band plays there every evening.He Wei: Maybe we can come here fo r dinner later. Let’s ask what time the band starts.文案大全[Alice and He Wei walk up to a staff person at the door.]He Wei: Excuse me, could you tell us when the band starts playing this evening?Staff: Eight o’clock. It’s always busy, so come a little earlier to get a table.He Wei: OK, thanks!P22 2bCould You Please ...?When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are simi lar requests for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct — or more indirect — when we ask for help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your 文案大全teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates.Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please ...?” or “Can I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Som etimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.P27 3aFrom Shy Girl to Pop Star文案大全1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and the n for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the ti me. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard文案大全work to succeed. Only a very small number of pe ople make it to the top.”P30 2bHe Used to Cause a Lot of TroubleLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy who works hard in school and gets good grades. It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child” until a conversation with his parents influenced his way of thinking. Li Wen lives in the Sichuan countryside. As a small child, he seldom gave his parents any problems, and they were proud of him. However, _________, the boy’s life became more difficult. He had to move in with his grandmother.Li Wen began to cause problems for himself and his family. He was no longer interested in studying. He was oft en absent from classes, and he failed his examinations. Finally, his parents made a decision to send him to a boarding school. Li Wen no longer lived with his grandmother. He studied, ate and slept at the school, and he hated it. There were so many rules, and he used to keep breaking them. One day, he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. __________文案大全Li Wen is a good student, son and grandson. However, he used to cause a lot of trouble for his parents. When his parents moved to work in anothercity, they could not be at home to____________ him. So he was___________ interested in studying and missed classes. Then his parents________to send him to a boarding school and he________it. In the end, his teacher advised his parents to talk with their son and this conversation____________ his life. He realized that his parents would__________everything good that he did. Now he is one of the best students in his class.Unit5 What are the shirts made of?P35 3aThe Difficult Search for American Goods in the USIf you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student 文案大全from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.”Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Amer icans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China —footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.P38 2bBeauty in Common ThingsEach different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to 文案大全bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters froma Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and文案大全Unit 6 When was it invented?P43 3aAn Accidental InventionDid you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water anyway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade 文案大全from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.P44 4cThe telephone (invent) by Alexander Graham Bell. He_______(born) in 1847. Alexander_____ (work) on the invention of the telephone with Thomas Watson. In 1875, Alexander______ (learn) to send musical notes through an instrument similar to a telephone. Finally, the telephone________(invent) in 1876. The first sentence that_______ (say) on the telephone by Alexander was “Mr. Watson, come here; I want to see you.” Today the telephone____________ (use) around the world.P45 1dThe History of Potato ChipsDid you know that potato chips were invented by mistake? Potato chips____________by a cook called George Crum. They were invented in________. George Crum cut the potatoes really, really__________and then 文案大全cooked them for a long time until they were__________ . Andhe put lots of salt on them so they were____________ .p46 2bDo You Know When BasketballWas Invented?Basketball is a much-loved and active sport more than 100 million people in over 200 countries. In China, you can sometimes see people playing basketball in parks, schools and even in factories.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was at college, his teacher asked the class to think of a game that can be played in the winter. Dr. Naismith created a game to be played inside on a hard floor. Dr. Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them to play his new game. The purpose of the game is for players to get a ball into the “basket”. Players on the same team must work together to help each other get the ball in the other team’s basket. At the same time, they need to stop the competing team from getting the ball into their own basket.文案大全first. Some inventions can also all of a_______lead to other inventions. So some people_______whether the inventor came up with the idea himself or herself. They think that the inventor used someone else’s idea to create his or her invention. That is why books or websites usually ________more than one inventor when giving information about inventions.Unit7 Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.P51 3aMom Knows BestWhen I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my sideWhen I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep inWhen I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from dangerWhen I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me upWhen I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for meBut I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”文案大全When I was nine watching s cary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreamsBut I shouted back angrily, “I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”But I talked back again —“I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeen now!”Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those timesI coughed for days after eating that ice-creamAnd had scary dreams after watching that filmI was late for school from staying out past tenI regret talking back, not listening to MomMom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!P52 4bShould teenagers _________(ask) to move out when they start working? In many Western countries, teenagers_______ (allow) to move out at sixteen or seventeen. Their parents believe that they文案大全should__________ (educate) to take care of themselves from a young age. This way, when they_______ (start) working they can manage their own lives. However, in most Asian societies, the family unit is especially strong. So it is not common for teenagers to_______ (move) out. Chinese parents believe that it is better for children to live with parents who can_______(take) care of them. But the young should then look after their parents as they get older. That is why many Chinese adults ______(continue) to live with their parents.P54 2bShould I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions?Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. However, his parents won’t all ow him to train so much. “Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu. “And we know how much he loves running. 文案大全My wife and I have supported every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs to think abou t other possible jobs. He’s getting older now, so he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t end up a professional runner.”Liu Yu doesn’t really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,”he says. “My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I’m serious about running. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don’t allow him to practice running at night. “Maybe he thinks it’s too strict or unfair,”says Mrs. Liu. “But we think we’re doing the right thing. He needs to spend more time on his homework because becoming a professional sports star is a difficult dream.”But Liu Yu still disagrees. “I know my parents care about me. They always talk about what will happen if I don’t succeed. But I will! I’m a quick runner! I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream.”文案大全Unit8 It must belong to Carla.P59 3aWe live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quiet and nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days, something unusual is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents ca lled the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don’t think so!”Victor’s next-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. “At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, eit her. So I guess it can’t be a dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something running away, but it was dark so she is not sure. “I think it was too big to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.”Everyone in our town is feeling uneasy, and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must be something 文案大全visiting the homes in our neighborhood, but what is it? We have no idea. Most people hope that this animal or person will simply go away, but I do not think that is going to happen. The noise-maker is having too much fun creating fear in the neighborhood.P62 2bStonehenge — Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There?Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places, but also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. Especially in June, people go to this place as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people文案大全believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness while keeping people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet climb up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial place, or a place to honor ancestors. Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy. Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t.“We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,”says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hardworking —and great planners!”P63 2d1. Midsummer’s morning is in June________ a lot of people go to Stonehenge during this month.2. The sun rose_________ thousands of people were standing around the stones.3. The sun shines straight into the center of Stonehenge_________ the stones were put in a special position. 文案大全4. Some people think the rocks can_________ stop people becoming ill can keep them healthy.5. We don’t know who built Stonehenge_________ how it was built.6. Historians are not sure__________ they think Stonehenge was built about 5,000 years ago.Unit 9 I like music that I can dance to.P67 3aWhat Do You Feel Like Watching Today?While some people only stick to one kind of movie, I like to watch different kinds depending on how I feel that day.When I’m down or tired, I prefer movies that can cheer me up. Comedies like Men in Black or cartoons like Kungfu Panda have funny dialogues and usually have a happy ending. The characters may not be perfect, but they try their best to solve their problems. After watching them, I’m filled with hope again and the problems I have suddenly seem less serious. Laughing for two hours is a good way to relax!I don’t watch dramas or documentaries when I’m sad or tired. Dramas like Titanic make me feel even文案大全sadder. Documentaries like March of the Penguins which provide plenty of information about a certain subject can be interesting, but when I’m tired I don’t want to think too much. I don’t mind action movies likeSpider-Man wh en I’m too tired to think. I can just shut off my brain, sit back and enjoy watching an exciting superhero who always saves the world just in time.Once in a while, I like to watch movies that are scary, like horror movies or thrillers. Movies like The Ring or The Shining can be fun, but I’m too scared to watch them alone.I always bring a friend who isn’t afraid of these kinds of movies.P70 2bSad but BeautifulLast night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain. The piece had a simple name, “Moon Reflected on Second Spring”, but was one of the most moving pieces of music that I’ve ever heard. The erhu sounded like it was crying, and I almost cried along 文案大全。

Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon onmid-autumn night. They carry peopl e’s wishes to the families they love and miss.There are many traditional folk stories about this festival.

Hou Yi was so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back!After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.P12 4bDear Xia Yu,Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children oft en give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother’s精品好资料-如有侵权请联系网站删除Day and Father’s Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gift s to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to show our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of money.

But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and is perhaps the best example of this.A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens.

For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very精品好资料-如有侵权请联系网站删除direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct — or more indirect — when we ask for help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates.Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please ...?” or “Can I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might fi rst say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.精品好资料-如有侵权请联系网站删除It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.P27 3aFrom Shy Girl to Pop Star1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in sc hool, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much att ention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful abo ut what I say or do. And I don’t have much精品好资料-如有侵权请联系网站删除private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.”P30 2bHe Used to Cause a Lot of TroubleLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy who works hard in school and gets good grades. It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child” until a conversation wit h his parents influenced his way of thinking. Li Wen lives in the Sichuan countryside.

One day, he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. __________The head teacher advised his parents to talk with their son in person. His parents took a 40-hour train ride and a five-hour bus ride to go back to their hometown. To Li Wen’s surprise, their conversation changed his life. “It was exactly what I needed,” he said. “My parents he lped me to understand how much they had given me.Th ey also told me that even though they couldn’t be there to take care of me, they were always thinking of me and would take pride in everything good that I did.___________.

Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.”Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China —精品好资料-如有侵权请联系网站删除footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.P38 2bBeauty in Common ThingsEach different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.精品好资料-如有侵权请联系网站删除Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters froma Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks to complete everything.

Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong精品好资料-如有侵权请联系网站删除first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water anyway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.More than 4,000 ye ars later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.P44 4c精品好资料-如有侵权请联系网站删除The telephone (invent) by Alexander Graham Bell.

In China, you can sometimes see people playing basketball in parks, schools and even in factories.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was at college, his teacher asked the class to think of a game that can be played in the winter. Dr. Naismith created a game to be played inside on a hard floor. Dr. Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them to play his new game. The purpose of the game is for players to get a ball into the “basket”. Players on the same team must work together to help each other get the ball in the other team’s basket. At the same time, they need to stop the competing team from getting the ball into their own basket.It is believed that on December 21, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an event at the Olympics. Today, the popularity of basketball has risen around the world, with many young people dreaming of becoming famous players. Basketball has not only become a popular sport to play, it has also become a more popular sport to watch.精品好资料-如有侵权请联系网站删除Although America’s NBA games are the most famous, the CBA games are becoming popular in China.

He is on his school team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. Howeve r, his parents won’t allow him to train so much. “Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu. “And we know how much he loves running.

He needs to spend more time on his homework because becoming a professional sports star is a difficult dream.”But Liu Yu still disagrees. “I know my parents care about me.

Unit1 How can we become good learners?How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well.

For example, “ Where are thr e strooms? ” or “ Could you pleasew tehlel rme ethe restrooms are? ”la ar rr e qsiumeists for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct —or more indirect —when we ask for help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your 文案大全teacher, “When is the school t.r'ip, 'this might sound impolite.

For example, “ Where are thr e strooms? ” or “ Could you pleasew tehlel rme ethe restrooms are? ”la ar rr e qsiumeists for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct —or more indirect —when we ask for help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people.

For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say, “ Excuse me, I wonder if you can he lspo mrrye to troubl”e y o ru , “I'mbut ... ” before asking for help.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct.

Unit1 How can we become good learners?How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year, I did not like my English class、Every class was like a bad dream、The teacher spoke too quickly、But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad、So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything、Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story、I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well、Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning、I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words、My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies、I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning、I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right、” I did not understand these sentences at first、But because I wanted to understand the story, Ilooked up the words in a dictionary、Now I really enjoy my English class、I want to learn new words and more grammar、Then I can have a better understanding of English movies、P6 2bHow Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born with the ability to learn、But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits、Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common、Creating an interest in what they learnStudies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time、Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in、For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English、This way they will not get bored、Practicing and learning from mistakesGood learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more、Remember, “use it or lose it”!

“Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life、You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is、Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on、You really require a lot of talent and hardwork to succeed、Only a very small number of people make it to the top、”P30 2bHe Used to Cause a Lot of TroubleLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy who works hard in school and gets good grades、It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child” until a conversation with his parents influenced his way of thinking、Li Wen lives in the Sichuan countryside、As a small child, he seldom gave his parents any problems, and they were proud of him、However, _________, the boy’s life became more difficult、He had to move in with his grandmother、Li Wen began to cause problems for himself and his family、He was no longer interested in studying、He was oft en absent from classes, and he failed his examinations、Finally, his parents made a decision to send him to a boarding school、Li Wen no longer lived with his grandmother、He studied, ate and slept at the school, and he hated it、There were so many rules, and he used to keep breaking them、One day, he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school、__________The head teacher advised his parents to talk with their son in person、His parents took a 40-hour train ride and a five-hour bus ride to go back to their hometown、To Li Wen’s surprise, their conversation changed his life、“It was exactly what I needed,” he said、“My parents helped me to understand ho w much they had given me、Th ey also told me that even though they couldn’t be there to take care of me, they were always thinking of me and would take pride in everything good that I did、___________、I realized that since my parents moved away, I’ve been a fraid of being alone, and have tried to make my parents pay more attention to me、”____________、He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class、His parents’ love has made him feel good about himself、“It’s very important for par ents to be there for their children,” Li Wen says、P31 2eLi Wen is a good student, son and grandson、However, he used to cause a lot of trouble for his parents、When his parents moved to work in anothercity, they could not be at home to____________ him、So he was___________ interested in studying and missed classes、Then his parents________to send him to a boarding school and he________it、In the end, his teacher advised his parents to talk with their son and this conversation____________ his life、He realized that his parents would__________everything good that he did、Now he is one of the best students in his class、Unit5 What are the shirts made of?P35 3aThe Difficult Search for American Goods in the USIf you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy?

I’m not a baby!”When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”But I talked back again —“I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeen now!”Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those timesI coughed for days after eating that ice-creamAnd had scary dreams after watching that filmI was late for school from staying out past tenI regret talking back, not listening to MomMom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!P52 4bShould teenagers _________(ask) to move out when they start working?

Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly。

But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad。

So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well。

Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies。

But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I 文案大全looked up the words in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.P6 2bHow Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.Creating an interest in what they learnStudies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.文案大全Practicing and learning from mistakesGood learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “use it or lose it”! Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Practice makes perfect. Good learners are also not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.Developing their study skillsIt is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. Good learners find out the best ways to learn well. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.Asking questionsGood learners oft en ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a life-long journey because every day brings文案大全文案大全 something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.P8 self check 1Are you________ out each time you have a test? You don’t have to be if you_______smart study skills.Remember to________ notesin class and review them on your own or with friends after class. Then what you learned by doing_____.Try to study and________information bit by bit instead of waiting__________ the last minute to study_________ at once. Ifyou________ well for a test,then there’s nothing to_________ about!Unit 2 I think that mooncakes are delicious!P13 3aFull Moon, Full FeelingsChinese people have been celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon onmid-autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the famili es they love and miss.There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him a magic medicine to thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drink it with Chang’e. However, a bad man, Feng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She be came very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was 文案大全so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back!After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.P12 4bDear Xia Yu,Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children oft en give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gift s to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to s how our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.文案大全JuneP14 2bThe Spirit of ChristmasMany would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gift s, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and is perhaps the best example of this.A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood 文案大全and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. He sees that he is dead but nobody cares. Scrooge is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is already the next morning on Christmas Day!He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gift s to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!P16 self check 1Many Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always on a Sunday__________March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates thebirth of new life. Hens________eggs, giving birth to life. So an egg is a symbol of new life. A popular文案大全activity during Easter is to hide eggsaround your home or_________for friends or________ to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Not only do people________them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these_________as gifts. So just like Christmas, Easter creates good________for supermarkets and chocolate stores.Unit3Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?UNIT 3P19 3aFun Times Park — Always a Fun Time![Alice and He Wei are in Space World]Alice: I wonder where we should go next.He Wei: How about that new ride over there?Alice: Oh ... it looks pretty scary.文案大全He Wei: Come on! I promise it’ll be fun! If you’re afraid, just shout or hold my hand.[After the ride]Alice: You were right, that was fun! I was scared at first, but shouting really did help.He Wei: See, that wasn’t so bad, right? You never know until you try something.Alice: Yes, I’m so glad I tried it. Now I know I can do it and it’s actually fun!He Wei: Do you want to go to Water World now?Alice: Sure, but I’m really hungry. Do you know where we can get some good food quickly?He Wei: Of course! I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World. It’s a fast food place. It serves delicious hamburgers and hot dogs.Alice: That sounds perfect![On their way to Water City Restaurant, Alice and He Wei pass by Uncle Bob’s.]Alice: Oh, look! This restaurant looks interesting. It seems a rock band plays there every evening.He Wei: Maybe we can come here fo r dinner later. Let’s ask what time the band starts.文案大全[Alice and He Wei walk up to a staff person at the door.]He Wei: Excuse me, could you tell us when the band starts playing this evening?Staff: Eight o’clock. It’s always busy, so come a little earlier to get a table.He Wei: OK, thanks!P22 2bCould You Please ...?When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are simi lar requests for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct — or more indirect — when we ask for help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your 文案大全teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates.Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please ...?” or “Can I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Som etimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.P27 3aFrom Shy Girl to Pop Star文案大全1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and the n for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the ti me. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard文案大全work to succeed. Only a very small number of pe ople make it to the top.”P30 2bHe Used to Cause a Lot of TroubleLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy who works hard in school and gets good grades. It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child” until a conversation with his parents influenced his way of thinking. Li Wen lives in the Sichuan countryside. As a small child, he seldom gave his parents any problems, and they were proud of him. However, _________, the boy’s life became more difficult. He had to move in with his grandmother.Li Wen began to cause problems for himself and his family. He was no longer interested in studying. He was oft en absent from classes, and he failed his examinations. Finally, his parents made a decision to send him to a boarding school. Li Wen no longer lived with his grandmother. He studied, ate and slept at the school, and he hated it. There were so many rules, and he used to keep breaking them. One day, he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. __________文案大全The head teacher advised his parents to talk with their son in person. His parents took a 40-hour train ride and a five-hour bus ride to go back to their hometown. To Li Wen’s surprise, their conversation changed his life. “It was exactly what I needed,” he said. “My parents helped me to understand ho w much they had given me. They also told me that even though they couldn’t be there to take care of me, they were always thinking of me and would take pride in everything good that I did.___________. I realized that since my parents moved away, I’ve been a fraid of being alone, and have tried to make my parents pay more attention to me.”____________. He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class. His parents’ love has made him feel good about himself. “It’s very important for par ents to be there for their children,” Li Wen says.P31 2e文案大全Li Wen is a good student, son and grandson. However, he used to cause a lot of trouble for his parents. When his parents moved to work in anothercity, they could not be at home to____________ him. So he was___________ interested in studying and missed classes. Then his parents________to send him to a boarding school and he________it. In the end, his teacher advised his parents to talk with their son and this conversation____________ his life. He realized that his parents would__________everything good that he did. Now he is one of the best students in his class.Unit5 What are the shirts made of?P35 3aThe Difficult Search for American Goods in the USIf you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student 文案大全from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.”Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Amer icans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China —footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.P38 2bBeauty in Common ThingsEach different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to 文案大全bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters froma Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and文案大全painted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.P39 2d1. People used to sky lanterns when they were in trouble. But today, people light the lanterns and watch them_______the sky with their wishes.2. The art of paper cutting_______ a simple thing like a piece of paper________ a beautiful piece of art. People often_________these art pieces_____ the doors, windows and walls of their homes to celebrate the Spring Festival.3. To make Chinese clay art, the clay is shaped by hand into things__________cute children or characters from Chinese fairy tales and stories. They are then______ paint.文案大全Unit 6 When was it invented?P43 3aAn Accidental InventionDid you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water anyway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade 文案大全from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.P44 4cThe telephone (invent) by Alexander Graham Bell. He_______(born) in 1847. Alexander_____ (work) on the invention of the telephone with Thomas Watson. In 1875, Alexander______ (learn) to send musical notes through an instrument similar to a telephone. Finally, the telephone________(invent) in 1876.

In China, you can sometimes see people playing basketball in parks, schools and even in factories.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was at college, his teacher asked the class to think of a game that can be played in the winter. Dr. Naismith created a game to be played inside on a hard floor. Dr. Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them to play his new game. The purpose of the game is for players to get a ball into the “basket”. Players on the same team must work together to help each other get the ball in the other team’s basket. At the same time, they need to stop the competing team from getting the ball into their own basket.文案大全It is believed that on December 21, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an event at the Olympics. Today, the popularity of basketball has risen around the world, with many young people dreaming of becoming famous players. Basketball has not only become a popular sport to play, it has also become a more popular sport to watch.Altho ugh America’s NBA games are the most famous, the CBA games are becoming popular in China. The number of foreign players, including Chinese players, in the NBA has increased. And there are also more and more foreign players in the CBA. Many young people look up to these basketball heroes and want to become like them. These stars encourage young people to work hard to achieve their dreams.P48 Self Check 1It is often difficult to decide on the inventor of certain inventions. This is because sometimes a few people may_______things which are_______the same. Opinions are then_______ about who came up with the idea文案大全first. Some inventions can also all of a_______lead to other inventions. So some people_______whether the inventor came up with the idea himself or herself. They think that the inventor used someone else’s idea to create his or her invention. That is why books or websites usually ________more than one inventor when giving information about inventions.Unit7 Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.P51 3aMom Knows BestWhen I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my sideWhen I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep inWhen I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from dangerWhen I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me upWhen I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for meBut I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”文案大全When I was nine watching s cary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreamsBut I shouted back angrily, “I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”But I talked back again —“I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeen now!”Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those timesI coughed for days after eating that ice-creamAnd had scary dreams after watching that filmI was late for school from staying out past tenI regret talking back, not listening to MomMom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!P52 4bShould teenagers _________(ask) to move out when they start working? In many Western countries, teenagers_______ (allow) to move out at sixteen or seventeen. Their parents believe that they文案大全should__________ (educate) to take care of themselves from a young age. This way, when they_______ (start) working they can manage their own lives. However, in most Asian societies, the family unit is especially strong. So it is not common for teenagers to_______ (move) out. Chinese parents believe that it is better for children to live with parents who can_______(take) care of them. But the young should then look after their parents as they get older. That is why many Chinese adults ______(continue) to live with their parents.P54 2bShould I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions?Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. However, his parents won’t all ow him to train so much. “Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu. “And we know how much he loves running. 文案大全My wife and I have supported every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs to think abou t other possible jobs. He’s getting older now, so he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t end up a professional runner.”Liu Yu doesn’t really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,”he says. “My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I’m serious about running. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don’t allow him to practice running at night. “Maybe he thinks it’s too strict or unfair,”says Mrs. Liu. “But we think we’re doing the right thing. He needs to spend more time on his homework because becoming a professional sports star is a difficult dream.”But Liu Yu still disagrees. “I know my parents care about me. They always talk about what will happen if I don’t succeed. But I will! I’m a quick runner! I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream.”文案大全Unit8 It must belong to Carla.P59 3aWe live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quiet and nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days, something unusual is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents ca lled the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don’t think so!”Victor’s next-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. “At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, eit her. So I guess it can’t be a dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something running away, but it was dark so she is not sure. “I think it was too big to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.”Everyone in our town is feeling uneasy, and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must be something 文案大全。

Unit1 How can we become good learners?How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, Ilooked up the words in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar.

But because I wanted to understand the story, I3looked up the words in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.P6 2bHow Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.Creating an interest in what they learnStudies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.4Practicing and learning from mistakesGood learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “use it or lose it”! Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Practice makes perfect. Good learners are also not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.Developing their study skillsIt is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. Good learners find out the best ways to learn well. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.Asking questionsGood learners oft en ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a life-long journey because every day brings5something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.P8 self check 1Practice developAre you________ out each time you have a test? You don’t have to be if you_______smart study skills. Remember to________ notesin class and review them on your own or with friends after class. Then what you learned by doing_____.

Ifyou________ well for a test,then there’s nothing to_________ about!6Unit 2 I think that mooncakes are delicious!P13 3aFull Moon, Full FeelingsChinese people have been celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon onmid-autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the families they love and miss.There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him a magic medicine to thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drink it with Chang’e. Howev er, a bad man, Feng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She became very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was7so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back!After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.P12 4bDear Xia Yu,Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children oft en give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gift s to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to show our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.8JuneP14 2bThe Spirit of ChristmasMany would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gift s, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and is perhaps the best example of this.A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he d oesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood9and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. He sees that he is dead but nobody cares. Scrooge is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is already the next morning on Christmas Day!He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gift s to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!P16 self check 1garden spread between treatsMany Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always on a Sunday__________March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates thebirth of new life. Hens________eggs, giving birth to life. So an egg is a symbol of new life. A popular10activity during Easter is to hide eggsaround your home or_________for friends or________ to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Not only do people________them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these_________as gifts. So just like Christmas, Easter creates good________for supermarkets and chocolate stores.Unit3Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?UNIT 3P19 3aFun Times Park — Always a Fun Time![Alice and He Wei are in Space World]Alice: I wonder where we should go next.He Wei: How about that new ride over there?Alice: Oh ... it looks pretty scary.11He Wei: Come on! I promise it’ll be fun! If you’re afraid, just shout or hold my hand.[After the ride]Alice: You were right, that was fun! I was scared at first, but shouting really did help.He Wei: See, that wasn’t so bad, right? You never know until you try something.Alice: Yes, I’m so glad I tried it. Now I know I can do it and it’s actually fun!He Wei: Do you want to go to Water World now?Alice: Sure, but I’m really hungry. Do you know where we can get some g ood food quickly?He Wei: Of course! I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World. It’s a fast food place. It serves delicious hamburgers and hot dogs.Alice: That sounds perfect![On their way to Water City Restaurant, Alice and He Wei pass by Uncle Bob’s.]Alice: Oh, look! This restaurant looks interesting. It seems a rock band plays there every evening.He Wei: Maybe we can come here for dinner later. Let’s ask what time the band starts.12[Alice and He Wei walk up to a staff person at the door.]He Wei: Excuse me, could you tell us when the band starts playing this evening?Staff: Eight o’clock. It’s always busy, so come a little earlier to get a table.He Wei: OK, thanks!P22 2bCould You Please ...?When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct — or more indirect — when we ask for help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your13teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates.Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please ...?” or “Can I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.P27 3aFrom Shy Girl to Pop Star141 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in sc hool, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attenti on can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard15work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.”P30 2bHe Used to Cause a Lot of TroubleLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy who works hard in school and gets good grades. It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child” until a conversation with his parents influenced his way of thinking. Li Wen lives in the Sichuan countryside. As a small child, he seldom gave his parents any problems, and they were proud of him. However, _________, the boy’s life became more difficult. He had to move in with his grandmother.Li Wen began to cause problems for himself and his family. He was no longer interested in studying. He was oft en absent from classes, and he failed his examinations. Finally, his parents made a decision to send him to a boarding school. Li Wen no longer lived with his grandmother. He studied, ate and slept at the school, and he hated it. There were so many rules, and he used to keep breaking them. One day, he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. __________16The head teacher advised his parents to talk with their son in person. His parents took a 40-hour train ride and a five-hour bus ride to go back to their hometown. To Li Wen’s surprise, their conversation changed his life. “It was exactly what I needed,” he said. “My parents helped me to understand how much they had given me.Th ey also told me that even though they couldn’t be there to take care of me, they were always thinking of me and would take pride in everything good that I did.___________. I realized that since my parents moved away, I’ve been afraid of being alone, and have tried to make my parents pay more att ention to me.”____________. He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class. His parents’ love has made him feel good about himself. “It’s very important for parents to be there for their children,” Li Wen says.P31 2ebe proud of/take pride in make adecision/decide not17Li Wen is a good student, son and grandson. However, he used to cause a lot of trouble for his parents. When his parents moved to work in anothercity, they could not be at home to____________ him. So he was___________ interested in studying and missed classes. Then his parents________to send him to a boarding school and he________it. In the end, his teacher advised his parents to talk with their son and this conversation____________ his life. He realized that his parents would__________everything good that he did. Now he is one of the best students in his class.Unit5 What are the shirts made of?P35 3aThe Difficult Search for American Goods in the USIf you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student18from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.”Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pa ir of basketball shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China —footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.P38 2bBeauty in Common ThingsEach different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to19bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters froma Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and20painted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.P39 2dsuch as turn ... into send out1. People used to sky lanterns when they were in trouble. But today, people light the lanterns and watch them_______the sky with their wishes.2. The art of paper cutting_______ a simple thing like a piece of paper________ a beautiful piece of art. People often_________these art pieces_____ the doors, windows and walls of their homes to celebrate the Spring Festival.3. To make Chinese clay art, the clay is shaped by hand into things__________cute children or characters from Chinese fairy tales and stories. They are then______ paint.21Unit 6 When was it invented?P43 3aAn Accidental InventionDid you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water anyway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade22from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.P44 4cThe telephone (invent) by Alexander Graham Bell. He_______(born) in 1847. Alexander_____ (work) on the invention of the telephone with Thomas Watson. In 1875, Alexander______ (learn) to send musical notes through an instrument similar to a telephone. Finally, the telephone________(invent) in 1876. The first sentence that_______ (say) on the telephone by Alexander was “Mr. Watson, come here; I want to see you.” Today the telephone____________ (use) around the world.P45 1dThe History of Potato ChipsDid you know that potato chips were invented by mistake? Potato chips____________by a cook called George Crum. They were invented in________. George Crum cut the potatoes really, really__________and then23cooked them for a long time until they were__________ . Andhe put lots of salt on them so they were____________ .p46 2bDo You Know When BasketballWas Invented?Basketball is a much-loved and active sport more than 100 million people in over 200 countries. In China, you can sometimes see people playing basketball in parks, schools and even in factories.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was at college, his teacher asked the class to think of a game that can be played in the winter. Dr. Naismith created a game to be played inside on a hard floor. Dr. Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them to play his new game. The purpose of the game is for players to get a ball into the “basket”. Players on the same team must work together to help each other get the ball in the other team’s basket. At the same time, they need to stop the competing team from getting the ball into their own basket.24It is believed that on December 21, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an event at the Olympics. Today, the popularity of basketball has risen around the world, with many young people dreaming of becoming famous players. Basketball has not only become a popular sport to play, it has also become a more popular sport to watch.Although America’s NBA games are the most famous, the CBA games are becoming popular in China. The number of foreign players, including Chinese players, in the NBA has increased. And there are also more and more foreign players in the CBA. Many young people look up to these basketball heroes and want to become like them. These stars encourage young people to work hard to achieve their dreams.P48 Self Check 1divide doubt mentionIt is often difficult to decide on the inventor of certain inventions. This is because sometimes a few people may_______things which are_______the same. Opinions are then_______ about who came up with the idea25first. Some inventions can also all of a_______lead to other inventions. So some people_______whether the inventor came up with the idea himself or herself. They think that the inventor used someone else’s idea to create his or her invention. That is why books or websites usually ________more than one inventor when giving information about inventions.Unit7 Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.P51 3aMom Knows BestWhen I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my sideWhen I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep inWhen I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from dangerWhen I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me upWhen I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for meBut I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”26When I was nine watching scary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreamsBut I shouted back angrily, “I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”But I talked back again —“I should not be told what to do!I’m seventeen now!”Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those timesI coughed for days after eating that ice-creamAnd had scary dreams after watching that filmI was late for school from staying out past tenI regret talking back, not listening to MomMom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!P52 4bShould teenagers _________(ask) to move out when they start working? In many Western countries, teenagers_______ (allow) to move out at sixteen or seventeen. Their parents believe that they27should__________ (educate) to take care of themselves from a young age. This way, when they_______ (start) working they can manage their own lives. However, in most Asian societies, the family unit is especially strong. So it is not common for teenagers to_______ (move) out. Chinese parents believe that it is better for children to live with parents who can_______(take) care of them. But the young should then look after their parents as they get older. That is why many Chinese adults ______(continue) to live with their parents.P54 2bShould I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions?Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. However, his parents won’t allow him to train so much. “Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu. “And we know how much he loves running.28My wife and I have supported every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs to think about other possible jobs. He’s getting older now, so he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t end up a professional runner.”Liu Yu doesn’t really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,”he says. “My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university.

Unit1 How can we become good learners?How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year, I did not like my English class。

Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad。

So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything。

Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story。

I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well。

Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies。

人教版九年级英语课文Unit1 How can we become good learners?How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It第1 页共52 页serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.P6 2bHow Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.Creating an interest in what they learnStudies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to第2 页共52 页English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.Practicing and learning from mistakesGood learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “use it or lose it”! Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Practice makes perfect. Good learners are also not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.Developing their study skillsIt is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. Good learners find out the best ways to learn well. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.Asking questionsGood learners oft en ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the第3 页共52 页answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a life-long journey because every day brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.P8 self check 1Are you________ out each time you have a test? You don’t have to be if you_______smart study skills. Remember to________ notesin class and review them on your own or with friends after class. Then what you learned by doing_____. Try to study and________information bit by bit instead of waiting__________ the last minute to study_________ at once. Ifyou________ well for a test,第4 页共52 页then there’s nothing to_________ about!Unit 2 I think that mooncakes are delicious!P13 3aFull Moon, Full FeelingsChinese people have been celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon onmid-autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the families they love and miss.There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him a magic medicine to thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drink it with Chang’e. However, a bad man, Feng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home.第5 页共52 页Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She became very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back!After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.P12 4bDear Xia Yu,Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children oft en give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gift s to their parents. I believe that there are man y ways to show our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good第6 页共52 页idea to help parents to do something instead.JuneP14 2bThe Spirit of ChristmasMany would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gift s, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and is perhaps the best example of this.A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.第7 页共52 页That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. He sees that he is dead but nobody cares. Scrooge is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is already the next morning on Christmas Day!He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gift s to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!P16 self check 1Many Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always on a Sunday__________March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates the第8 页共52 页birth of new life. Hens________eggs, giving birth to life. So an egg is a symbol of new life. A popular activity during Easter is to hide eggsaround your home or_________for friends or________ to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Not only do people________them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these_________as gifts. So just like Christmas, Easter creates good________for supermarkets and chocolate stores.Unit3Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?UNIT 3P19 3aFun Times Park — Always a Fun Time![Alice and He Wei are in Space World]Alice: I wonder where we should go next.He Wei: How about that new ride over there?第9 页共52 页Alice: Oh ... it looks pretty scary.He Wei: Come on! I promise it’ll be fun! If you’re afraid, just shout or hold my hand.[After the ride]Alice: You were right, that was fun! I was scared at first, but shouting really did help.He Wei: See, that wasn’t so bad, right? You never know until you try something.Alice: Yes, I’m so glad I tried it. Now I know I can do it and it’s ac tually fun!He Wei: Do you want to go to Water World now?Alice: Sure, but I’m really hungry. Do you know where we can get some good food quickly?He Wei: Of course! I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World. It’s a fast food place. It serves delicious hamburgers and hot dogs.Alice: That sounds perfect![On their way to Water City Restaurant, Alice and He Wei pass by Uncle Bob’s.]Alice: Oh, look! This restaurant looks interesting. It seems a rock band plays there every evening.第10 页共52 页He Wei: Maybe we can c ome here for dinner later. Let’s ask what time the band starts.[Alice and He Wei walk up to a staff person at the door.]He Wei: Excuse me, could you tell us when the band starts playing this evening?Staff: Eight o’clock. It’s always busy, so come a litt le earlier to get a table.He Wei: OK, thanks!P22 2bCould You Please ...?When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct — or more indirect — when we ask for help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The第11 页共52 页expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates.Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please ...?” or “Can I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail ad dress.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.P27 3a第12 页共52 页From Shy Girl to Pop Star1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I _____________ 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and ________ _____ ____________ to deal with her ___________. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy___________ and loves singing in front of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get ______ ____ attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I_________ _____ others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much ___________ time anymore. Hanging out with friends ____ almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people________ wa nt to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine ______ difficult the第13 页共52 页road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really ________ a lot of talent and hard work to _________. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.”P30 2bHe Used to Cause a Lot of TroubleLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy who works hard in school and gets good grades. It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child” until a conversation with his parents influenced his way of thinking. Li Wen lives in the Sichuan countryside. As a small child, he seldom gave his parents any problems, and they were proud of him. However, _________, the boy’s life became more d ifficult. He had to move in with his grandmother.Li Wen began to cause problems for himself and his family. He was no longer interested in studying. He was oft en absent from classes, and he failed his examinations. Finally, his parents made a decision to send him to a boarding school. Li Wen no longer lived with his grandmother. He studied, ate and slept at the school, and he hated it. There were so many rules, and he used to keep breaking them. One day, he told his teacher he第14 页共52 页wanted to leave the school. __________The head teacher advised his parents to talk with their son in person. His parents took a 40-hour train ride and a five-hour bus ride to go back to their hometown. To Li Wen’s surprise, their conversation changed his life. “It was exactly what I needed,” he said. “My parents helped me to understand how much they had given me. They also told me that even though they couldn’t be there to take care of me, they were always thinking of me and would take pride in everything good that I did.___________. I realized that since my parents moved away, I’ve been afraid of being alone, and have tried to make my parents pay more attention to me.”____________. He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class. His parents’ love has made him feel good about himself. “It’s very important for parents to be there for their children,” Li Wen says.P31 2e第15 页共52 页Li Wen is a good student, son and grandson. However, he used to cause a lot of trouble for his parents. When his parents moved to work in anothercity, they could not be at home to____________ him. So he was___________ interested in studying and missed classes. Then his parents________to send him to a boarding school and he________it. In the end, his teacher advised his parents to talk with their son and this conversation____________ his life. He realized that his parents would__________everything good that he did. Now he is one of the best students in his class.Unit5 What are the shirts made of?P35 3aThe Difficult Search for American Goods in the USIf you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might probably think第16 页共52 页those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted t o buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.”Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China —footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.P38 2bBeauty in Common ThingsEach different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the第17 页共52 页things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters froma Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of第18 页共52 页clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.P39 2d1. People used to sky lanterns when they were in trouble. But today, people light the lanterns and watch them_______the sky with their wishes.2. The art of paper cutting_______ a simple thing like a piece of paper________ a beautiful piece of art. People often_________these art pieces_____ the doors, windows and walls of their homes to celebrate the Spring Festival.3. To make Chinese clay art, the clay is shaped by hand into things__________cute children or characters第19 页共52 页from Chinese fairy tales and stories. They are then______ paint.Unit 6 When was it invented?P43 3aAn Accidental InventionDid you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water anyway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the world’s favorite drink s was invented.More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea第20 页共52 页didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.P44 4cThe telephone (invent) by Alexander Graham Bell. He_______(born) in 1847. Alexander_____ (work) on the invention of the telephone with Thomas Watson. In 1875, Alexander______ (learn) to send musical notes through an instrument similar to a telephone. Finally, the telephone________(invent) in 1876. The first sentence that_______ (say) on the telephone by Alexander was “Mr. Watson, come here; I want to see you.” Today the telephone____________ (use) around the world.P45 1dThe History of Potato ChipsDid you know that potato chips were invented by mistake? Potato chips____________by a cook called第21 页共52 页George Crum. They were invented in________. George Crum cut the potatoes really, really__________and then cooked them for a long time until they were__________ . Andhe put lots of salt on them so they were____________ .p46 2bDo You Know When BasketballWas Invented?Basketball is a much-loved and active sport more than 100 million people in over 200 countries. In China, you can sometimes see people playing basketball in parks, schools and even in factories.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was at college, his teacher asked the class to think of a game that can be played in the winter. Dr. Naismith created a game to be played inside on a hard floor. Dr. Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them to play his new game. The purpose of the game is for players to get a ball into the “basket”. Players on the same team must work together to help each other get the ball in the other team’s basket. At the same time,第22 页共52 页they need to stop the competing team from getting the ball into their own basket.It is believed that on December 21, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an event at the Olympics. Today, the popularity of basketball has risen around the world, with many young people dreaming of becoming famous players. Basketball has not only become a popular sport to play, it has also become a more popular sport to watch.Although America’s NBA games are the most famous, the CBA games are becoming popular in China. The number of foreign players, including Chinese players, in the NBA has increased. And there are also more and more foreign players in the CBA. Many young people look up to these basketball heroes and want to become like them. These stars encourage young people to work hard to achieve their dreams.P48 Self Check 1It is often difficult to decide on the inventor of certain inventions. This is because sometimes a few people第23 页共52 页may_______things which are_______the same. Opinions are then_______ about who came up with the idea first. Some inventions can also all of a_______lead to other inventions. So some people_______whether the inventor came up with the idea himself or herself. They think that the inventor used someone else’s idea to create his or her invention. That is why books or websites usually ________more than one inventor when giving information about inventions.Unit7 Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.P51 3aMom Knows BestWhen I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my sideWhen I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep inWhen I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from dangerWhen I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me upWhen I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me第24 页共52 页But I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”When I was nine watching scary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreamsBut I shouted back angrily, “I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”But I talked back again —“I should not be told what to do!I’m seventeen now!”Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those timesI coughed for days after eating that ice-creamAnd had scary dreams after watching that filmI was late for school from staying out past tenI regret talking back, not listening to MomMom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!P52 4bShould teenagers _________(ask) to move out when they start working? In many Western countries,第25 页共52 页teenagers_______ (allow) to move out at sixteen or seventeen. Their parents believe that theyshould__________ (educate) to take care of themselves from a young age. This way, when they_______ (start) working they can manage their own lives. However, in most Asian societies, the family unit is especially strong. So it is not common for teenagers to_______ (move) out. Chinese parents believe that it is better for children to live with parents who can_______(take) care of them. But the young should then look after their parents as they get older. That is why many Chinese adults ______(continue) to live with their parents.P54 2bShould I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions?Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. However, his parents won’t allow him to train so much.第26 页共52 页“Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu. “And we know how much he loves running. My wife and I have supported every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs to think about other possible jobs. He’s getting older now, so he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t end up a professional runner.”Liu Yu doesn’t really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,”he says. “My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I’m serious about running. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don’t allow him to practice running at night. “Maybe he thinks it’s too strict or unfair,”says Mrs. Liu. “But we think we’re doing the right thing. He needs to spend more time on his homework because becoming a professional sports star is a difficult dream.”But Liu Yu still disagrees. “I know my parents care about me. They always talk about what will happen if I don’t succeed. But I will! I’m a quick runner! I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself. Only then第27 页共52 页will I have a chance to achieve my dream.”Unit8 It must belong to Carla.P59 3aWe live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quiet and nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days, something unusual is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don’t think so!”Victor’s next-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. “At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, either. So I guess it can’t be a dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something running away, but it was dark so she is not sure. “I think it was too big to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.”第28 页共52 页。

Unit1 How can we become good learners?How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacherspoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation wasvery bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with thisexciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well.Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body languageand the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I couldget the meaning bylistening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improvedby listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listeningto something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned usefulsentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves1 / 62you right.” I didnot understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted tounderstand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new wordsand more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.P6 2bHow Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born with the ability to learn.But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Researchshows that successful learners have some good habits in common.Creating an interest in what they learnStudies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active andit is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners oftenconnect what they2 / 62need to learn with something they are interested in. For example,if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to Englishsongs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.Practicing and learning from mistakesGood learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practicemore. Remember, “use it or lose it”! Even if you learn something well, you willforget it unless you use it. Practice makes perfect. Good learners are also not afraidof making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight.He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.Developing their study skillsIt is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. Good learnersfind out the best ways to learn well. For example, they may take notes by writingdown key words or by3 / 62drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways toreview what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day orby explaining the information to another student.Asking questionsGood learners oft en ask questions during or after class.They even ask each other and try to find out the answers.Knowledge comes from questioning.Learning is a life-long journey because every day bringssomething new. Everything that you learn becomes apart of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learnwell.P8 self check 1’t have to beif you_______smart study skills.

If you________ well for a test,then there’s nothing to_________ about!Unit 2 I think that mooncakes are delicious!P133aFull Moon, Full FeelingsChinese people have been celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoyingmooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon onmid-autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the families they love and miss.There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most peoplethink5 / 62that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautifulwife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him a magic medicineto thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drinkit with Chang’e. However, abad man, Feng Meng, tried to steal the medicine whenHou Yi was not home. Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She becamevery light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was so sad that he called out her nameto the moon every night. One night, he found that themoon was so bright and round that he could see his wifethere. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and dessertsin the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could comeback!After this, people started the tradition of admiring themoon and sharing mooncakes with their families.P12 4bDear Xia Yu,6 / 62Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One isMother’s Day on the second Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day onthe third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children oft en give giftsto their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowersand cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becomingmore and more popular to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in China. Iwonder if children over there also give similar gift s to their parents. I believe thatthere are many ways to show our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot ofmoney. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.JuneP14 2bThe Spirit of ChristmasMany would agreethat when we think ofChristmas, we probably think of gift s,Christmas7 / 62trees and Santa Claus. But behindall these things lies the true meaning ofChristmas: the importance of sharing andis perhapsthe best example of this.A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an oldman named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks abouthimself, and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can makemore money. And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghostof Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, sohe was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’twant to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takeshim back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child.Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see howothers are spending Christmas this year.8 / 62Everyone ishappy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost ofChristmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. Hesees that he is dead but nobody cares. Scrooge is soscared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it isalready the nextmorning on Christmas Day!He decides to change his life and promises to be abetter person. He happily celebrates Christmas withhis relatives. He also gives gift s to people in need.He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth,spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And thatis the true spirit of Christmas!P16 self check 1Many Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always onaSunday__________March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates thebirth of new life. Hens________eggs, giving birth to life. So an eggis a symbol of new life. A9 / 62popular activity during Easter is to hide eggsaround your home or_________for friends or________ to find.These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Notonly do people________them around in different hiding places foran egg hunt, but they also give out these_________as gifts. So justlike Christmas, Easter creates good________for supermarkets andchocolate stores.Unit3Could you please tell mewhere the restrooms are?UNIT 3P193aFunTimesPark — Always a Fun Time![Alice and He Wei are in Space World]Alice: I wonder where we should go next.10 / 62He Wei: How about that new ride over there?Alice: Oh ... it looks pretty scary.He Wei: Come on! I promise it’ll be fun! If you’re afraid, just shout or hold my hand.[After the ride]Alice: You were right, that was fun! I was scared at first, but shouting really didhelp.He Wei: See, that wasn’t so bad, right? You never know until you try something.Alice: Yes, I’m so glad I tried it. Now I know I can do it and it’s actually fun!He Wei: Do you want to go to Water World now?Alice: Sure, but I’m really hungry. Do you know where we can get some goodfood quickly?He Wei: Of course! I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World. It’s a fastfood place. It serves delicious hamburgers and hot dogs.11 / 62Alice: That sounds perfect![On their way to Water City Restaurant, Alice and He Wei pass by Uncle Bob’s.]Alice: Oh, look! This restaurant looks interesting. It seems a rock band playsthere every evening.He Wei: Maybe we can come here for dinner later. Let’s ask what time the bandstarts.[Alice and He Wei walk up to a staff person at the door.]He Wei: Excuse me, could you tell us when the band starts playing this evening?Staff: Eight o’clock. It’salways busy, so come a little earlierto get a table.He Wei: OK, thanks!P22 2bCould You Please ...?When you visit a foreign country, it isimportant to know how to ask for helppolitely. For12 / 62example, “Where are therestrooms?” or “Could you please tell mewhere the restrooms are?” are similar requests for directions to a place. Both arecorrect English, but the first one sounds less polite. That isbecause it is a verydirect question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also needto learn how to be polite by being less direct — or more indirect — when weask for help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with differentpeople. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to orhow well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you knowwhen the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all rightto ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates.Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could13 / 62youplease ...?” or “Can I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you pleasetell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimeswe even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a strangeron the street, we might first say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’msorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is importantto learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English,or any other language you wish to speak.Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.P273aFrom Shy Girl to Pop Star1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian popstar14 / 62Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singingto deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class,and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing infront of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explainedthat there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new peopleall the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attentioneverywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “Ialways have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very carefulabout what I say or do. And I don’t have muchprivate time anymore. Hangingout with friends is almost impossible for me now becausethere are always guards around me.”3 What does Candy have to say to all those young peoplewho want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly,“you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. Youcan15 / 62never imagine how difficult the road to success is.Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on.You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed.Only a very small number of people make it to the top.”P30 2bHe Used to Cause a Lot of TroubleLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy whoworks hard in school and gets good grades.It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child” until a conversation withhis parents influenced his way of thinking. Li Wen lives in the Sichuan countryside.As a small child, he seldom gave his parents any problems, and they were proud ofhim. However, _________, the boy’s life became more difficult. He had to movein with his grandmother.Li Wen began to cause problems for himself and his family. He was no longer interestedin studying. He was oft en absent from classes, and he failed his examinations.Finally, his16 / 62parents made a decision to send him to a boarding school. Li Wen nolonger lived with his grandmother. He studied, ate and slept at the school, and hehated it. There were so many rules, and he used to keep breaking them. One day,he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. __________The head teacher advised his parents to talk with their son in person. His parentstook a 40-hour train ride and a five-hour bus ride to go back to their hometown.To Li Wen’s surprise, their conversation changed his life. “It was exactly what Ineeded,” he said. “My parents helped me to understand how much they had givenme. They also told me that even though they couldn’t be there to take care of me,they were always thinking of me and would take pride in everything good that Idid.___________. I realized that since my parents moved away, I’ve been afraid ofbeing alone, and have tried to make myparents pay more attention to me.”17 / 62____________. He has been working hard and isnow one of the best students in his class. Hisparents’ love has made him feel good abouthimself. “It’s very important for parents to bethere for their children,” Li Wen says.P31 2ehis parents.

Then his parents________to send him to a boarding school and he________it. In the end, his teacher advised his parents to talk with their son and thisconversation____________ his life. He realized that his parents would__________everything good that he did. Now he is one of the beststudents in his class.18 / 62Unit5What are the shirts made of?P353aThe Difficult Search forAmerican Goods in the USIf you go to another country, what kinds of thingswould you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France,or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might probably thinkthose products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. KangJian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt anduncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shopswere made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though mostof the toys had American brands,they were made in China.”Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketballshoes,”he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair madein America!” He19 / 62realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products madein China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China —footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made inChina!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everydaythings. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at makinghigh-technologyproducts that people can buy in all parts of the world.P38 2bBeauty in Common ThingsEach different part of China has itsown special forms of traditional art.These usually try to show the things that are important in life such as love, beautyand family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turnedinto objects of beauty.According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used byZhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when introuble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and20 / 62othercelebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered withpaper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the airlike small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as brightsymbols of happiness and good wishes.Paper cutting has been around for over1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficultto do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors.The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, andthings about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, theyare put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes forgood luck and a happy new year.Chinese clay art is famous becausethe clay pieces are so small but they look very real. Thepieces are usually cute children or lively characters froma Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces arecarefully shaped by hand from a very special kind ofclay and then allowed to air-dry. Afterdrying, they arefired at a very high heat.21 / 62They are then polished and painted. Finally, materialssuch as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks tocomplete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinesepeople have for life and beauty.P39 2d1. People used to sky lanterns when they were introuble. But today, people light the lanterns and watch them_______the sky with their wishes.2. The art of paper cutting_______ a simple thing like a pieceof paper________ a beautiful piece of art. People often_________these art pieces_____ the doors, windowsand walls of their homes to celebrate the Spring Festival.3.

They are then______ paint.22 / 62Unit 6 When was it invented?P433aAn Accidental InventionDid you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), wasinvented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong first discovered tea asa drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Someleaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. Itproduced a nice smell so he tasted the brownwater anyway. It was quite delicious.In this way, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”,mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The bookdescribes how tea plants were grown and used to maketea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves wereproduced and what kinds of water were used.23 / 62It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japanduring the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’tappear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later,it had become the national drink. The tea trade fromChina to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spreadthe popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Eventhough many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubtthe ones who best understand the nature of tea.P444cThe telephone (invent) by Alexander Graham Bell.

In China, you can sometimessee people playing basketball in parks, schools and25 / 62even in factories.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who wasborn in 1861. When he was at college, his teacher asked the class to think of a gamethat can be played in the winter. Dr. Naismith created a game to be played inside ona hard floor. Dr. Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taughtthem to play his new game. The purpose of the game is for players to get a ball intothe “basket”. Players on the same team must work together to help each other getthe ball in the other team’s basket. At the same time, they need to stop the competingteam from getting the ball into their own basket.It is believed that on December 21, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played.Then in 1936 inBerlin, it became an event at the Olympics. Today, the popularity ofbasketball has risen around the world, with many young people dreaming ofbecoming famous players. Basketball has not only become a popular sport to play,it has also become a26 / 62more popular sport to watch.Although America’s NBA games are the most famous,the CBA games are becoming popular in China. The number of foreign players, including Chinese players,in the NBA has increased. And there are also more andmore foreign players in the CBA. Many young peoplelook up to these basketball heroes and want to becomelike them. These stars encourage young people to workhard to achieve their dreams.P48 Self Check 1It is often difficult to decide on the inventor of certain inventions. This is because sometimes a few people may_______things which are_______the same. Opinions arethen_______ about who came up with the idea first. Some inventions can also all ofa_______lead to other inventions. So some people_______whether the inventor came up with27 / 62the idea himself or herself. They think that the inventor used someone else’s idea to create his or her invention. That is why books or websites usually ________more than one inventor when givinginformation about inventions.Unit7 Teenagers should be allowedto choose their own clothes.P51 3aMom Knows BestWhen I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep inWhen I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me fromdangerWhen I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me upWhen I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me28 / 62But I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”When I was nine watching scary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreamsBut I shouted back angrily, “I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please beback by ten!”But I talked back again —“I should not be told what to do!I’m seventeen now!”Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those timesI coughed for days after eating that ice-creamAnd had scary dreams after watching that filmI was late for school from staying out past tenI regret talking back, not listening to MomMom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!P52 4b29 / 62Should teenagers _________(ask) to move out when they start working? In manyWestern countries, teenagers_______ (allow) to move out at sixteen orseventeen. Their parents believe that they should__________ (educate) to takecare of themselves from a young age. This way, when they_______ (start) workingthey can manage their own lives. However, in most Asian societies, the family unitis especially strong. So it is not common forteenagers to_______ (move) out.Chinese parents believe that it is better for children to live with parents whocan_______(take) care of them. But the young should then look after their parentsas they get older. That is why many Chinese adults ______(continue) to livewith their parents.P54 2bShould I Be Allowed to MakeMy Own Decisions?Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can get in the way of theirschoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagersoften think they should be30 / 62allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want.Do you agree?Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, isa running star. He is on his school team and hasalways wanted to be a professional runner whenhe grows up. However, his parents won’t allowhim to train so much. “Of course we want tosee him achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu. “Andwe know how much he loves running. My wifeand I have supported every one of his races. Wehave nothing against running! But we think ourson needs tothink about other possible jobs. He’s getting older now, so he needsto think about what will happen if he doesn’t end up a professional runner.”Liu Yu doesn’t really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,”he says. “My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard atschool and enter university. I understand this, but I’m serious about running. It’sthe only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”31 / 62His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don’tallow him to practice running at night. “Maybe he thinks it’s too strict or unfair,”says Mrs. Liu. “But we think we’re doing the right thing. He needs to spend moretime on his homework because becoming a professional sports star is a difficultdream.”But Liu Yu still disagrees. “I know my parents care about me. They always talkabout what will happen if I don’t succeed. But I will! I’m a quick runner! I thinkI should be allowed to make this choice myself. Only then will I have a chance toachieve my dream.”Unit8 It must belong to Carla.P593aWe live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other.

When he was32 / 62interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every nightwe hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be ananimal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parentscalled the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything strange. They think it mightbe the wind. I don’t think so!”Victor’s next-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. “At first, I thought that it mightbe a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, either. So I guess it can’t be adog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something runningaway, but it was dark so she is not sure. “I think it was toobig to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.”Everyone in our town is feeling uneasy, and everyone hashis or her own ideas. There must be something visitingthe homes in our neighborhood, but what is it? We haveno idea. Most people hope that this animal or person willsimply go away, but I do not think that is33 / 62。
