Unit1How do you study for a test?1.Passage oneHow do you learn best?This week we asked students at New Star High School about the best ways to learn more English.Many said they learnt by using English.Some students had more specific suggestions. Lillian Li,for example,said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines. She said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little.When we asked about studying grammar,she said,''I never study grammar.It's too boring."Wei Ming feels differently.He's been learning English for six years and really loves it.He thinks studying grammar is a great way to learn a language.He also thinks that watching English movies isn't a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words.Sometimes,however,he finds watching movies frustrating because the people speak too quickly.Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to improve her English.Students get lots of practice and they also have fun.She added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all."We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese,"she said.2.Passage twoHow I learned to learn EnglishLast year my English class was difficult.First of all,it wasn't easy for me to understand the teacher when she talked.To begin with,she spoke too quickly,and I couldn't understand every ter on,I realized that it doesn't matter if you don’t understand every word.I was also afraid to speak in class,because I thought my classmates might laugh at me.I couldn't always make complete sentences,either.Then I started to watch English-language TV.It helped a lot.I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of English-language TV.It helped a lot.I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets of becoming a good language learner. Another thing that I found very difficult was English grammar.So I decided to take lots ofgrammar notes in every class.Then I Started to write my own original sentences using the grammar I was learning.It's amazing how much this helped.Now I am enjoying learning English and I got an A this term.My teacher is very impressed.老师评语：评级:☆☆☆☆☆老师签名：_________Unit2I used to be afraid of the dark1.Passage oneMy biggest problemMy biggest problem is that I'm too busy.When I was young,I used to have so much time,but these days I get up early and stay at school all day.Then I go right home and eat dinner.Before I started high school I used to spend a lot of time playing games with my friends,but I just don't have the time anymore.In the evening,I used to watch TV or chat with my grandmother,but now I have to study.I1ove music,and my farther used to take me to concerts.These days I hardly ever have time for concerts.I do my homework and go to bed.I really miss the old days.2.Passage two(李阳我与奥运p30)SmileWhen you smile,I smile,that's the deal.I will not walk past you and not look you in the eyes and not acknowledge you.Instead we will pass each other and say hello.Not with our words,for they are not the s same;but with our faces.I meet you and I see there is good in your eyes,there's passion in your heart and there's a friendly hello in your smile.And for the first time we can relate and appreciate each other.That's all it takes,that's where it start.Because I know that you will smile and I will smile and the rest is easy.老师评语：评级:☆☆☆☆☆老师签名：_________Unit3Teenagers should be allowed choose their own clothes1.passage oneSun Fei:We have a lot of rules at my house.Wu Yu:So do we.For example,I have to stay at home on schoolnights.Sun Fei:I usually do,too.But sometimes I'm allowed to study at afriend’s house.What about weekends?Wu Yu:Well,I'm allowed to go to the movies with friends on Friday nights.Sun Fei:Me,too,but I have to be home by10:00pm.Wu Yu:And on Saturday afternoons,I'm allowed to go shopping with my friends.Sun Fei:That's nice.Wu Yu:And I'm allowed to choose my own clothes.But I'm not allowed to get myears pierced yet.2.passage twoThe other day,my friends and I talked about the rules that we have in school.At our school, we have to wear uniforms every day.The problem is that all my classmates think the uniforms are ugly.We think young people should look smart and so we would like to wear our own clothes. Our teachers believe that if we did that,we would concentrate more on our clothes than ourstudies.We disagree.We would feel more comfortable and that is good for studying.If we can't do that,we should be allowed to design our own uniforms.That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy.It's also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening.I know we get noisy sometimes,but we learn a lot from each other.We also think that vacations should be longer.At present they're too short.Longer vacations should give us time to do things like st summer I had an opportunity to volunteer at the local hospital, but I couldn't because I had to go back to school.It would be a good experience for me because I want to be a doctor when I'm older.老师评语：评级:☆☆☆☆☆老师签名：_________Unit4What would you do?1.Passage one(初中期末冲刺阶段性测试二)Around the world would have different rules for giving gifts at social occasions.For example, at weddings in Japan,China and some other Asian countries,guests give the bride and groom money wrapped in a special card.In western countries,wedding guests normally buy the bride and groom a gift.Guests often buy something for the house such as towels and bed linen, electrical equipment or furniture.A guest may also give a special card with their present,but this normally doesn’t have money inside.The only people who commonly give money as a gift at western weddings are the bride’and groom’s parents,but they may buy a gift.2.Passage two（李阳高中生标准美语发音及口语教程P29）My secrets of successLadies and Gentlemen,today I'd like to sum up some of my secrets of success.The reasons why I'm so successful are:I love my family.I love my job.I love my company.I love speaking English.I love challenges.I love to help others.I love life.I love the world.I'm very lucky.I’m a great person.My advice to you is:Study and get ready.Someday your chance will come.老师评语：评级:☆☆☆☆☆老师签名：_________Unit5It must belong to Carla1.Passage oneDear Anna,I'm really anxious because I can't find my backpack.I really need it because I have a math test tomorrow.It's crucial that I study for it because it makes up30%of the final exam.I think I dropped it during the concert so it might still be in the symphony hall.I tried to call you but your morn said you were still at your optometrist appointment(I hope your new glasses look nice!)If you have any idea where it might be,please call me.Thanks,Linda2.Passage two(英才点津九年级上Unit3测试卷)Almost everybody likes to play.All over the world men and women,boys and girls enjoy sports.Sports help to keep people healthy.They help people to live happily.Sports change with the season.People play different games in winter and summer.Sailing boat is fun in warm weather,while skating is good in winter.Games and sports often grow out of the work people do.The Arabs are famous for their horse and camels.They use them in their work,and they use them in their sports events,too.Hunting and fishing are very good sports.But millions of people hunt and fish for a living.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other,but after a game on the sports field,they become good friends.Sports help to train a person's character.One learns to fight fair and hard,to win without pride and to lose with grace.老师评语：评级:☆☆☆☆☆老师签名：_________Unit6I like music that I can dance to1.Passage oneYellow River FishermanThis is Hong Tao's latest movie.I like Hong Tao.He's made some great movies over the years.

And you wouldn't believe how quickly my French has improved!I'm very comfortable speaking French now.Although I still make lots of mistakes,it doesn't bother me like it used to.My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table.As you can imagine,things are really different from the way they are at home.For example,you're not supposed to put your bread on your plate.You're supposed to put it on the table!I thought that was pretty strange at first,butnow I'm used to it.You're not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread,not even fruit!(You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.)Another thing is that it is very rude to say you're full.If you don't want any more food,you should just say,''It was delicious."Also,it's rude to put your hands in your lap.You should always keep your hands,but not your elbows,on the cable.I have to say,I find it difficult to remember everything,but I'm gradually getting used to things and don't find them so strange any more.I'll write soon and tell you more about life in France.Hope you're having a good school year.Wang Kun老师评语：评级:☆☆☆☆☆老师签名：_________Unit13Rainy days make me sad1.Passage oneRestaurant scienceRestaurant owners have to know how to make food.They also have to know how to make money.Here are some things they've learned from scientific studies.The color red makes people hungry.Red also makes customers eat faster.Many fast food restaurants,therefore,have red furniture or walls.Soft colors like pink and light blue make people relaxed,so they spend more time eating their meals.Soft lighting makes people look good,but it makes food look bad.Loud music may be nice at first,but it soon makes people want to leave.Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave.Many restaurants,especially fast food restaurants,use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.Customers only sit for about20minutes before they leave.Because customers don't stay very long,small restaurants can serve many people every day.2.Passage twoAdvertising:pros and consIn the modern world,advertising is everywhere!Some people think that ads are great.Others hate ads,saying that they make our cities and countryside look ugly.Many ads are aimed specifically at teenagers,and some young people see more than100advertisements a day.It's true that some ads can be very useful.For instance,they can help you to compare two different products so that you can buy the one you really need.They can also help you save money.When prices are listed,you can go to the store with the lowest price.Ads also tell you when stores are having sales.However,some advertising can be confusing or misleading.Sometimes the words sound good but don't really tell you anything about the quality of the product.At other times,the picture in an ad looks a lot better than the real thing.So you have to be careful.At times an ad can lead you to buy something you don't need at all.老师评语：评级:☆☆☆☆☆老师签名：_________Unit14Have you packed yet?1.Passage oneHi Jake,Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner.I have so many chores to do today.I have to do my homework,of course.I started about an hour ago,but I haven't finished.Then I have to take the dog for a walk,water my mom's plants and do some shopping.I haven't done any of those things yet because my grandfather came to chat with me.He loves talking and I love listening to him.He started telling me about all of the chores he had to do when he was a kid.He had to get up at5am to chop wood and light the fire for breakfast.Then he had to collect water from the village well. Then he had to feed the animals-he and his family lived on the farm.Anyway,I have to run now.Take care,Crystal2.Passage twoDon’t miss the New Ocean Waves!Do you like pop music?Most people do.One of the best bands on the music scene is the New Ocean Waves.In the last twelve months,they've had three major concerts and made a hit CD.
