Lesson1 The Spirit of Explorers素材The Vikings从公元8世纪到11世纪，有一支来自北方的民族纵横欧洲。
他们是航海家，也是侵略者；是商人，也是海盗；是出色的水手，也是英勇的战士——他们就是维京人。
The Viking people came from the three countries of Scandinavia: Denmark, Norway and Sweden. They were also known as the Norse people. They were mostly farmers, but some worked as traders.Many Vikings were great travelers and sailed all over Europe and the north Atlantic Ocean in their long ships. Some went as pirate raiders(海盗): they stole treasures and attacked local people. But most Vikings who sailed overseas were simply searching for better land to farm.The Viking Age began about 1,200 years ago in the 8th Century AD and lasted for 300 years. In the year 793, Viking pirate raiders sailed across the North Sea to a Christian monastery at Lindisfarne in north-east England. They stole its treasures, murdered the monks and terrified everyone. This was followed by other violent “Viking raids” all over Britain.In 865, a “Great Army” of Danish Vikings invaded England. There were fierce bat tles for several years. In the end, the Vikings conquered all of northern, central and eastern England, and seized much of the land for their own farms. This area was called “The Danelaw”.During the same period, Norwegian Vikings sailed to northern and western Scotland, and seized land for their farms around the coast and islands. They also settled in the Isle of Man, and parts of Wales.Jorvik (modern York) was an important town in Viking Britain. Its houses were built of wood or wattle(枝条) along narrow streets.Women did all the household jobs. They also helped on the farm, milked the cows and made cheese. They spun(纺线), wove and sewed all the family’s clothes.Children did not go to school. They helped their parents at work, and learned about history, religion and the law from stories. They became adults at the age of 15 or 16.。

In this lesson, we are going to learn about the spirit of explorers and how it can inspire us to explore the world around us.II. What is the spirit of explorers?The spirit of explorers is the mindset and attitude that drives people to explore and seek new knowledge, experiences, and possibilities. It is characterized by curiosity, creativity, courage, resilience, and perseverance. Explorers are not afraid of failures, setbacks, or challenges; rather, they see them as opportunities to learn and grow. They are open-minded, adaptable, and resourceful, and they value the journey as much as the destination.III. What can we learn from the spirit of explorers?The spirit of explorers can teach us many valuable lessons that can benefit us in various aspects of our lives.1. CuriosityCuriosity is the driving force behind exploration. It enables us to ask questions, seek answers, and discover new things.

By developing courage, we can overcome our fears, step out of our comfort zone, and pursue our dreams.4. ResilienceResilience is the ability to rebound from adversity and persevere in the face of challenges. Explorers often encounter failures, setbacks, and hardships, but they do not give up on their quest. By cultivating resilience, we can develop a positive attitude towards adversity, learn from our mistakes, and bounce back stronger.5. PerseverancePerseverance is the determination to persist in pursuing our goals. Explorers often face long and difficult journeys, but they do not give up until they reach their destination. By developing perseverance, we can stay committed to our objectives, overcome obstacles, and achieve success.IV. ConclusionIn conclusion, the spirit of explorers is a valuable mindset and attitude that can inspire us to explore, learn, and grow. By embracing the spirit of explorers, we can cultivate curiosity, creativity, courage, resilience, and perseverance, and enjoy the journey of discovery.
