必修一Unit 1 FriendshipANNE’S BEST FRIENDDo you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her best friend.Anne lived in Amsterdam in Netherlands during Would WarⅡ.Her family was Jewish so they had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazi .She and her family hid away for nearly twenty-five months before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said ,”I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do ,but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty .”Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942.Thursday 15th June 1944 Dear Kitty,I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here.…For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face….…Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows. it’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.Your,Anne安妮最好的朋友你想不想有一位无话不谈能推心置腹的朋友？或者你会不会担心你的朋友会嘲笑你，会不理解你目前的困境呢？安妮弗兰克想要的是第一种类型的朋友，所以她把的日记当作自己最好的朋友。

在第二次世界大战期间，安妮住在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹。

她一家人都是犹太人，所以他们不得不躲藏起来，否则就会被德国的纳粹分子抓去。

她和她的家人躲藏了将近25个月之后才被发现。

在那段时期，她的日记成了她唯一忠实的朋友。

她说：“我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账。

我要把我的日记当作自己的朋友，我把我的这个朋友叫做基蒂。

”现在，来看看安妮自1942年7月起躲进藏身处后的那种心情吧。

1944年6月15日，星期四亲爱的基蒂：我不知道这是不是因为我太久不能出门的缘故，我变得对一切与大自然有关的事物都无比狂热。

我记得非常清楚，以前，湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花，从未令我心迷神往过。

自从我来到这里之后，这一切都变了。

比如说，有一天晚上天气很暖和，我故意熬到晚上11点半都不睡觉，为的就是能独自好好地看看月亮。

但是因为月光太亮了，我都不敢打开窗户。

还有一次，就在五个月以前的一个晚上，我碰巧在楼上，窗户是开着的，我一直呆到非关窗不可的时候才下楼去。

漆黑的雨夜，刮着大风，电闪雷鸣，乌云滚滚，我完全被这种景象镇住了。

这是我一年半以来第一次亲眼目睹的夜晚……不幸的是……我只能通过那满是灰尘的窗帘下的脏兮兮的窗户看看大自然。

通过窗户看那大自然实在没意思，因为大自然是需要真正体验的东西。

你的安妮USING LANGUAGE 语言应用Dear Miss Wang,I am having some trouble with my classmates at the moment. I’m getting along well with a boy in my class. We often do homework together and we enjoy helping each other. We have become really good friends. But other students have started gossiping. They say that this boy and I have fallen in love. This has made me angry. I don’t want to end the friendship, but I hate others gossiping. What should I do?Yours,Lisa 亲爱的王小姐：现在我同班上的同学有些麻烦事。

我跟我们班里的一位男同学一直相处的很好。

我们常常一起做家庭作业，而且很乐意互相帮助。

我们成了真正好朋友。

可是，其他同学却在背后议论起来，他们说我和这位男同学在谈恋爱，这使我很生气。

我不想中断这段友谊，但是，我又讨厌人家背后说闲话。

我该怎么办呢？你的莉萨Unit 2 English around the worldTHE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISHAt the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English begin to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before.Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don't speak the same kind of English. Look at this kind of example:British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?American Amy: Yes. I’d like to come up to your apartment.So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then gradually between about AD800 to 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 someBritish settlers moved to American. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries.Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. during that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.通向现代英语之路在16世纪末，大约有五至七百万人讲英语。
