Did you see Huangguoshu WaterfallH: Yes, I did.It was wonderful! We took quite a few photos there.What about you Did you do anything special last monthR: Not really.I just stayed at home most of the time to read and relax.2b passage:I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my family.lt was sunny and hot,so we decided to go to the beach near our hotel.My sister and l tried paragliding.l felt like l was a bird.lt was so exciting.For lunch,we had something very special——Malaysian yellow noodles.They were delicious.In the afternoon,we rode bicycles to Georgetown.There are a lot of new buildings now, butmany of the old buildings are still there.In weld quay, a really old place in Georgetown,we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago.l wonder what life was like here in the past .l really enjoyed walking around the town.What a difference a day makes! My father and I decided to go to Penang Hill today.We wanted to walk up to the top,but then it started raining a little so we decided to take the train.We waited over an hour for the train because there were too many people .When we got to the top ,it was raining really hard.We didn't have an umbrella so we were wet and cold.It was terrible!And because of the bad weather,we couldn't see anything below.My father didn't bring enough money,so we only had one bowl of rice and some fish.The food tasted great because I was so hungry!Unit 2 How often do you exercise2d conversation:A:Hi,Claire,are you free next weekB:Hmm… next week is quite full for me,Jack.A:Really How comeB:I have dance and piano lessons.A:What kind of dance are you learningB:Oh,swing dance.It’s fun! I have class once a week,every Monday.A:How often do you have piano lessonsB:Twice a week,on Wednesday and Friday.A:Well,how about TuesdayB:Oh,I have to play tennis with my friends.But do you want to come A:Sure.2b passage:What Do No.5 High School Students Do in Their Free Time Last month we asked our students about their free time activities.Our questions were about exercise,use of the Internet and watching TV.Here are the results.We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day.Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week.Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week.And twenty percent do not exercise at all.We all know that many students often go online,but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day.The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week.Most students use it for fun and not for homework.The answer to our questions about watching television were also interesting.Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week.Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week.And eighty-five percent watch TV every day! Although many students liketo watch sports,game shows are the most popular.It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows,but we think the best way to relax is through exercise.It is healthy for the mind and the body.Exercise such as playing sports is fun,and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together.And remember,“old habits die hard”.So start exercising before it’s too late!Unit 3 I’m more outgoing than my sister.2d conversation:A:Did you like the singing competition yesterday,AnnaB:Oh,it was fantastic! Nelly sang so well!A:Well,I think Lisa sang better than Nelly.B:Oh,which one was LisaA:The one with shorter hair.I think she sang more clearly than Nelly. B:Yes,but Nelly danced better than Lisa.A:You can tell that Lisa really wanted to win,though.B:Well,everyone wants to win.But the most important thing is to learn something new and have fun.2b passage:My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror.I'm quieter and more seriours than most kids.That's why I like reading books andI study harder in class.My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too,so we enjoy studying together.I'm shy so it's not easy for me to make friends.But I think friends are like books -- you don't need a lot of them as long as they're good.It's not necessary to be the same.My best friend Larry is quite different from me.He is taller and more outstanding than me.We both like sports,but he plays tennis better,so he always wins.However,Larry often helps to bring out the best in me.So I'm getting better at rry is much less hard-working,though.I always get better grade than he does,so maybe I should help him more.I don't really care if my friends are the same as me or different.My favorite saying is,"A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart." My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny.In fact,she's funnier than anyone I know.I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better.We can talk about and share everything.I know she cares about me because she's always there to listen.Unit 4 What’s the best movie theater2d conversation:Greg: Hi, I'm Greg.I'm new in town.Helen: Hi, I'm Helen.Welcome to the neighborhood! How do you likeit so farGreg: It's fantastic, but I still don't really know my way around. Helen: Well, the best supermarket is on Center Street.You can buy the freshest food there.Greg: Oh, great.Is there a cinema around here I love watching movies. Helen: Yes, Sun Cinema is the newest one.You can sit the most comfortably because they have the biggest seats.Greg: Thanks for telling me.Helen: No problem.2b passage:Everyone is good at something,but some people are talented.It’s always interesting to watch other people show their talents.Talent shows are getting more and more popular.First,there were shows like American Idol and American’s Got Talent.Now,there are similar shows around the world,such as China’s Got Talent.All these shows have one thing in common:They try to look for the best singers,the most talented dancers,the most exciting magicians,the funniest actors and so on.All kinds of people join these shows.But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully That’s up to you to decide.When people watch the show,they usually play a role in deciding the winner.And the winner always gets a very good prize.However,not everybody enjoys watching these shows.Some think that the lives of the performers are made up.For example,some people say they are poor farmers,but in fact they are just actors.However,if you don’t take these shows too seriously,they are fun to watch.And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.Unit 5 Do you want to watch a game show2d conversation:Grace: What did you do in class today,SarahSarah: We had a discussion about TV shows.My classmates like game shows and sports shows.Grace: Oh, I can’t stand them.I love soap opera.I like to follow the story and see what happens next.Sarah: Well, I don’t mind soap opera.But my favorite TV shows are the news and talk shows.Grace: Well,they may not be very exciting, but you can expect to learn a lot from them.I hope to be a TV reporter one day.2b passage:When people say "culture",we think of art and history.But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon.We all know and lovethe black mouse with two large round ears---Mickey Mouse.Over 80 years ago,he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie.When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18,1928,it was the first cartoon with sound and music.The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney.He became very rich and successful.In the 1930s,he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular.One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man,but he always tried to face any danger.In his early films,Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend,Minnie.However,he was always ready to try his best.People went to the cinema to see the"little man"win.Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.On November 18, 1979, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.Today’s cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him.Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’sUnit 6 I’m going to study computer science.2d conversation:A:what are you readings, KenB:The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway.A:Wow, now I know why you 're good at writing stories.B:Yes, I want to be a writer.A:Really How are you going to become a writerB: Well,I'm going to keep on writing stories,of course.What do you what to beA:My parents want me to a doctor,but I'm not sure about that.B:Well ,don't worry.Not everyone knows what they want want to be .Just make sure you try your best.Then you can be anything you want!A:Yes,you're right.2b passage:Do you know what a resolution is It`s a kind of promise.Most of the time ,we make promises to other people.("Mom,I promise I`m going to tidy my room when I get back from school.")However,promise you make to yourself are resolutions and the most common kind is New Year`s resolutions.When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year,we hope that we are going to improve our lives.Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year.This helps them to remember their resolutions.Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.There are different kinds of resolutions.Some are about physicalhealth.For example,some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food.Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement.some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos,or learn to play the guitar.Some resolutions have to do with better planning,like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.Although there are differences,most resolutions have one thing in common.People hardly ever keep them ! Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.Sometimes people just forget about them.For this reason,some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you —will you make any next yearUnit 7 Will people have robots2d conversation:A:What are you reading, JillB:It is book about the future.A:Sounds cool. So what will the future be like?B:Well,cities will be more crowded and polluted .There will be fewer trees and the environment will be in great danger.A:That sounds bad! Will we have to move to other planetsB:Maybe, But I want to live on the earth.A:Me too.Then what can we doB:We can use less water and plant more trees.Everyone should play a prat in saving the earth.2b passage:Do you think you will have your own robots1.When we watch movies about the future, we sometimes see robots.They are usually like human servants.They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.2.Today there are already robots working in factories.Some can help to build cars, and they do simple jobs over and over again.Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored.3.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do.Some robots in Japan can walk and dance.They are fun to watch.However, some scientists believe that although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human.For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are.But many scientists disagree with Mr.White.They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.4、Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future.However, they agree it may take hundreds of years.These newrobots will have many different shapes.Some will look like humans, and others might look like animals.In India, for example, scientists made robots that look like snakes.If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings.This was not possible 20 years ago, but computers and rockets also seemed impossible 100 years ago.We never know what will happen in the future!Unit 8 How do you make a banana milk shake2b conversation:A: Sam, I want to make Russian soup for a party on Saturday.Can you tell me howS: Sure.First, buy some beef, one cabbage, four carrots, three potatoes, five tomatoes and one onion.Then, cut up the vegetables. A: what’s nextS: Next, put the beef, carrots and potatoes into a pot and add some water.After that, cook them for 30 minutes.Then, add the cabbage, tomatoes and onion and cook for another 10 minutes.A: OK, that’s itS: No, one more thing.Finally , don’t forger to add some salt.2b passage:Thanksgiving in the United StatesIn most countries,people usually eat traditional food on special holidays.A special day in the United States is Thanksgiving.It is always on the fourth Thursday in November,and is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn.At this time,people also remember the first travelers from England who came to live in America about 400 years ago.These travelers had a long,hard winter,and many of them died.In the next autumn,they gave thanks for life and food in their new home.These days,most Americans still celebrate this idea of giving thanks by having a big meal at home with their family.The main dish of this meal is almost always turkey,a large bird. Making a turkey dinnerHere is one way to make turkey for a Thanksgiving dinner.First,mix together some bread pieces,onions,salt and pepper.Next,fill the turkey with this bread mix.Then,put the turkey in a hot oven and cook it for a few hours. When it is ready,place the turkey on a large plate and cover it with gravy.Finally,cut the turkey into thin pieces and eat the meat with vegetables like carrots and potatoes.Unit 9 Can you come to my party2dconversation:Jeff:Hey,Nick,can you come to my house on Saturday My cousin Sam from Xi'an is going to be here.Nick:Oh,Sam! I remember we went bike riding together last fall when he visited you.Jeff:Yes,that's right.Nick:I'd love to come,but I'm afraid I can't.I have an exam on Monday so I must prepare for it.Jeff:That's really too bad! Oh,but Sam isn't leaving until next Wednesday.Can you hang out with us on Monday nightNick:Sure! Catch you on Monday!2b passage:Hi David,What a great idea! I really like Ms.Steen a lot.She helped me to improve my English so much.I’m sad to see her go,and this party is the best way to say"Thank you and goodbye." I can help to buy some of the food and drinks.I can also help to bring Ms.Steen to the party.I already have a great idea about how to do that.He WeiHi,David,Thanks so much for planning this.I’d love to come to the party,but I’m not available.My family is taking a trip to Wuhan at the endof this month to visit my aunt and uncle.However,I’d still be glad to help out with any of the party preparations,like planning the games.Let me know if you need my help.JakeDear classmates,As I’m sure you know by now,our favorite teacher,Ms.Steen,is leaving soon to go back to the US.We’re very sad that she’s leaving because she is a fun teacher.To show how much we’re going to miss her,let’s have a surprise party for her next Friday the 28th!Can you come to the partyIf so,can you help with any of these thingsPlease tell me by this Friday.1)Buy food and drinks.2)2)Think of games to play.3)3)Prepare things we need for the games(glue,paper,pens,…).4)4)Bring Ms.Steen to the party without telling her so that she can be surprised.I look forward to hearing from you all.DavidUnit 10 If you go to the party,you’ll have a great time!2d conversation:Jeff: Hey,Ben.For the party next week,should we ask people to bringfoodBen: No,let's order food from a restaurant.If we ask people to bring food,they'll just bring potato chips and chocolate because they'll be too lazy to cook.Jeff: OK.For the games,do you think we should give people some small gifts if they winBen: I think that's a great idea!If we do that,more people will want to play the games. Jeff: Yes,the games will be more exciting,too.2b passage:Students these days often have a lot of worries.Sometimes they have problems with their school-work,and sometimes with their friends.What can they do about thisSome people believe the worst thing is to do ura Mills,a teenager from London,agrees.“Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura.“But I think talking to someone helps a lot.Unless we talk to someone,we’ll certainly feel worse.”Laura once lost her wallet,and worried for days.She was afraid to tell her parents about it.She ever walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money.She just kept thinking,“If I tell my parents,they’ll be angry!In the end,she talked to her parents and they were really understanding.Her dad said he sometimesmade careless mistakes himself.They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful..“I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems.He feels the same way as Laura.“It is best not to run away from our problems.We should always try to solve them.” He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to.This person doesn’t need to be an expert like himself.Students often forget that their parents have more experience,and are always there to help them.In English,we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half.So you’re halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it!。

The answer would be different in different countries.In many countries, people have birthday cakes with candles. The number of candles is the person’s age. The birthday person must make a wish and blow out the candles. If he or she blows out all the candles in one go, the wish will come true. In the UK, people sometimes put a candy in a birthday cake.

Peter: Oh, nice. What did you do?Eric: I went fishing every day. And I fed the chickens with my grandpa. It was so much fun.Peter: Sounds good. How was the weather there?Eric: It was great, and the air was so clean. I watched the stars at night. They were so beautiful.Peter: Lucky you.June 15thToday I went on a school trip. We visited the science museum and it was really interesting. We got there so fast by train. We saw somefarms and villages along the way. At the museum, I learned a lot about robots. I didn ’t know they could play chess with us. It was so cool! Then the guide taught us how to make a model robot. I took a lot of great photos, too. After that, I went to the gift shop and bought some lovely gifts for my parents. They weren,t expensive. All in all, it was an exciting day.June 15thI think today,s school trip was terrible. We took the train to the museum. It was so hot on the slow train. The museum was big and boring. Everything was about robots and I,m not interested in that. The rooms were really dark and it was difficult to take photos, so I didn,t take any. There were also too many people and I couldn't really see or hear theguide. The things in the gift shop were so expensive. I didn,t like the trip at all.Unit 12 What did you do last weekend?Paul: Hi, Lisa. How was your weekend?Lisa: Great, thanks.Paul: What did you do?Lisa: I worked as a guide at the Natural History Museum.Paul: Really? How interesting!Lisa: Yeah, it was fun. They have a butterfly house with over 200 kinds of butterflies! I told the visitors about them and their living habits. Did you have a good weekend?Paul: Yeah, it was good, but I,m kind of tired now. I stayed up late to watch the soccer game.A weekend to rememberMy sister finished high school two weeks ago. As a special gift, our parents took us to India. Last weekend was interesting but scary.We went camping in a small village in India. First, we took a long bus ride to a lake in the countryside. There we put up our tents and made a fire to keep us warm and cook food on. On the first night, we just sat under the moon and told each other stories. But I was so tired that I went to sleep early.The next morning, my sister and I got terrible surprise. When we looked out of our tent, we saw a big snake sleeping near the fire. I was so scared that I couldn ,t move. We shouted to our parents to let them know about the danger. My dad started to jump up and down in their tent. This woke the snake up and it moved into the forest near the lake. My dad told me later that snakes don,t have ears but can feel things moving. He also told me it was important not to go near a snake. This was a very useful lesson for 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. 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.。

Unit 1 Where did you go on vacation?conversation:R: Hi, Helen. Long time no see.H: Hi, Rick. Yes, I was on vacation last month.R: Oh, did you go anywhere interesting?H: Yes, I went to Guizhou with my family.R: Wow! Did you see Huangguoshu Waterfall?H: Yes, I did. It was wonderful! We took quite a few photos there. What about you? Did you do anything special last month?R: Not really. I just stayed at home most of the time to read and relax.passage:I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my family. It was sunny and hot, so we decided to go to the beach near our hotel. My sister and l tried paragliding. I felt like l was a bird. It was so exciting. For lunch, we had something very special----- Malaysian yellow noodles. They were delicious. In the afternoon, we rode bicycles to Georgetown. There are a lot of new buildings now, but many of the old buildings are still there. In weld quay, a really old place in Georgetown, we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago. I wonder what life was like here in the past. I really enjoyed walking around the town.What a difference a day makes! My father and I decided to go to Penang Hill today. We wanted to walk up to the top, but then it started raining a little so we decided to take thetrain. We waited over an hour for the train because there were too many people. When we got to the top, it was raining really hard. We didn't have an umbrella so we were wet and cold. It was terrible! And because of the bad weather, we couldn't see anything below. My father didn't bring enough money, so we only had one bowl of rice and some fish. The food tasted great because I was so hungry!Unit 2 How often do you exercise?conversation:A: Hi, Claire, are you free next week?B: Hmm… n ext week is quite full for me, Jack.A: Really? How come?B: I have dance and piano lessons.A: What kind of dance are you learning?B: Oh, swing dance. It’s fun! I have class once a week, every Monday.A: How often do you have piano lessons?B: Twice a week, on Wednesday and Friday.A: Well, how about Tuesday?B: Oh, I have to play tennis with my friends. But do you want to come?A: Sure.2b passage:What Do No. 5 High School Students Do in Their Free Time?Last month we asked our students about their free time activities. Our questions were about exercise, use of the Internet and watching TV. Here are the results.We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day. Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week. Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week. And twenty percent do not exercise at all.We all know that many students often go online, but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day. The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week. Most students use it for fun and not for homework.The answers to our questions about watching television were also interesting. Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week. Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week. And eighty-five percent watch TV every day! Although many students like to watch sports, game shows are the most popular.It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows, but we think the best way to relax is through exercise. It is healthy for the mind and the body. Exercise such as playing sports is fun, and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together. And remember, “old habits die hard” . So start exercising before it’s too late!Unit 3 I’m more outgoing than my sister.2d conversation:A: Did you like the singing competition yesterday, Anna?B: Oh, it was fantastic! Nelly sang so well!A: Well, I think Lisa sang better than Nelly.B: Oh, which one was Lisa?A: The one with shorter hair. I think she sang more clearly than Nelly.B: Yes, but Nelly danced better than Lisa.A: You can tell that Lisa really wanted to win, though.B: Well, everyone wants to win. But the most important thing is to learn something new and have fun.2b passage:My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror. I'm quieter and more serious than most kids. That's why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying together. I'm shy so it's not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books -- you don't need a lot of them as long asthey're good.It's not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outstanding than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So I'm getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grade than he does, so maybe I should help him more.I don't really care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favorite saying is, "A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart. " My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact, she's funnier than anyone I know. I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better. We can talk about and share everything. I know she cares about me because she's always there to listen.Unit 4 What’s the best movie theater?2d conversation:Greg: Hi, I'm Greg. I'm new in town.Helen: Hi, I'm Helen. Welcome to the neighborhood! How do you like it so far? Greg: It's fantastic, but I still don't really know my way around.Helen: Well, the best supermarket is on Center Street. You can buy the freshest food there.Greg: Oh, great. Is there a cinema around here? I love watching movies.Helen: Yes, Sun Cinema is the newest one. You can sit the most comfortably because they have the biggest seats.Greg: Thanks for telling me.Helen: No problem.2b passage:Everyone is good at something, but some people are talented. It’s always interesting to watch other people show their talents. Talent shows are getting more and more popular. First, there were shows like American Idol and American’s Got Talent. Now, there are similar shows around the world, such as China’s Got Talent.All these shows have one thing in common: They try to look for the best singers, the most talented dancers, the most exciting magicians, the funniest actors and so on. All kinds of people join these shows. But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully? That’s up to you to decide. When people watch the show, they usually play a role in deciding the winner. And the winner always gets a very good prize. However, not everybody enjoys watching these shows. Some think that the lives of the performers are made up. For example, some people say they are poor farmers, but in fact they are just actors. However, if you don’t take these shows too seriously, they are fun to watch. And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.Unit 5 Do you want to watch a game show ?2d conversation:Grace: What did you do in class today, Sarah?Sarah: We had a discussion about TV shows. My classmates like game shows and sports shows.Grace: Oh, I can’t stand them. I love soap opera. I like to follow the story and see what happens next.Sarah: Well, I don’t mind soap opera. But my favorite TV shows are the news and talk shows.Grace: Well, they may not be very exciting, but you can expect to learn a lot from them. I hope to be a TV reporter one day.2b passage:When people say "culture", we think of art and history. But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon. We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears---Mickey Mouse. Over 80 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey. Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the "little man" win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.On November 18, 1979, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today’s cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’s?Unit 6 I’m going to study computer science.2d conversation:A: what are you readings,Ken?B: The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway.A: Wow,now I know why you 're good at writing stories.B: Yes, I want to be a writer.A: Really? How are you going to become a writer?B: Well, I'm going to keep on writing stories, of course. What do you what to be ?A: My parents want me to a doctor, but I'm not sure about that.B: Well, don't worry. Not everyone knows what they want to be. Just make sure you try your best. Then you can be anything you want!A: Yes, you're right.2b passage:Do you know what a resolution is? It`s a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. ("Mom, I promise I`m going to tidy my room when I get back from school. ") However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and the most common kind is New Year`s resolutions. The start of the year is often a time for making resolution. When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps them to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. These are about making yourself a better person. Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork. For example, a student may have to find more time to study.Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! There are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you —will you make any next year?Unit 7 Will people have robots?2d conversation:A: What are you reading, Jill?B: It is book about the future.A: Sounds cool. So what will the future be like?B: Well, cities will be more crowded and polluted . There will be fewer trees and the environment will be in great danger.A: That sounds bad! Will we have to move to other planets?B: Maybe, But I want to live on the earth.A: Me too. Then what can we do?B: We can use less water and plant more trees. Everyone should play a part in saving the earth.2b passage:Do you think you will have your own robots?1、When we watch movies about the future, we sometimes see robots. They are usually like human servants. They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.2、Today there are already robots working in factories. Some can help to build cars, and they do simple jobs over and over again. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored.3、Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do. Some robots in Japan can walk and dance. They are fun to watch. However, some scientists believe that although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are. But many scientists disagree with Mr. White. They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.4、Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years. These new robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and others might look like animals. In India, for example, scientists made robots that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings. This was not possible20 years ago, but computers and rockets also seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future!Unit 8 How do you make a banana milk shake?2b conversation:A: Sam, I want to make Russian soup for a party on Saturday. Can you tell me how?S: Sure. First, buy some beef, one cabbage, four carrots, three potatoes, five tomatoes and one onion. Then, cut up the vegetables.A: what’s next?S: Next, put the beef, carrots and potatoes into a pot and add some water. After that, cook them for 30 minutes. Then, add the cabbage, tomatoes and onion and cook for another 10 minutes.A: OK, that’s it?S: No, one more thing. Finally, don’t forget to add some salt.2b passage:Thanksgiving in the United StatesIn most countries, people usually eat traditional food on special holidays. A special day in the United States is Thanksgiving. It is always on the fourth Thursday in November, and is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn. At this time, people also remember the first travelers from England who came to live in America about 400 years ago. These travelers had a long, hard winter, and many of them died. In the next autumn, they gave thanks for life and food in their new home. These days, most Americans still celebratethis idea of giving thanks by having a big meal at home with their family. The main dish of this meal is almost always turkey, a large bird.Making a turkey dinnerHere is one way to make turkey for a Thanksgiving dinner.First, mix together some bread pieces, onions, salt and pepper.Next, fill the turkey with this bread mix.Then, put the turkey in a hot oven and cook it for a few hours.When it is ready, place the turkey on a large plate and cover it with gravy.Finally, cut the turkey into thin pieces and eat the meat with vegetables like carrots and potatoes.Unit 9 Can you come to my party?2dconversation:Jeff: Hey, Nick, can you come to my house on Saturday? My cousin Sam from Xi'an is going to be here.Nick: Oh, Sam! I remember we went bike riding together last fall when he visited you. Jeff: Yes, that's right.Nick: I'd love to come, but I'm afraid I can't. I have an exam on Monday so I must prepare for it.Jeff: That's really too bad! Oh, but Sam isn't leaving until next Wednesday. Can you hang out with us on Monday night?Nick: Sure! Catch you on Monday!2b passage:Hi David,What a great idea! I really like Ms. Steen a lot. She helped me to improve my English so much. I’m sad to see her go, and this party is the best way to say "Thank you and goodbye.” I can help to buy some of the food and drinks. I can also help to bring Ms. Steen to the party. I already have a great idea about how to do that.He WeiHi, David,Thanks so much for planning this. I’d love to come to the party, but I’m not available. My family is taking a trip to Wuhan at the end of this month to visit my aunt and uncle. However, I’d still be glad to help out with any of the party preparations, like planning the games. Let me know if you need my help.JakeDear classmates,As I’m sure you know by now, our favorite teacher, Ms. Steen, is leaving soon to go back to the US. We’re very sad that she’s leaving because she is a fun teacher. To show how much we’re going to miss her, let’s have a surprise party for her next Friday the 28th!Can you come to the party? If so, can you help with any of these things? Please tell me by this Friday.1) Buy food and drinks.2) Think of games to play.3) Prepare things we need for the games (glue, paper, pens, …).4) Bring Ms. Steen to the party without telling her so that she can be surprised.5) I look forward to hearing from you all.DavidUnit 10 If you go to the party, you’ll have a great time!2d conversation:Jeff:Hey, Ben. For the party next week, should we ask people to bring food?Ben:No, let's order food from a restaurant. If we ask people to bring food, they'll just bring potato chips and chocolate because they'll be too lazy to cook.Jeff:OK. For the games, do you think we should give people some small gifts if they win?Ben:I think that's a great idea! If we do that, more people will want to play the games. Jeff:Yes, the games will be more exciting, too.2b passage:Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their school-work, and sometimes with their friends. What can they do about this? Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “ But I think talking to someone helps a lot. Unless we talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse. “Laura once lost her wallet, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents aboutit. She ever walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking, “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry! In the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful. . “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!”Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them. “He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and are always there to help them. In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it!。

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 whether or not you can do this Weil 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 withsomething 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”! Even if you learn something Weil, 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 Weil. 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 often 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 something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn Weil.Unit 2 I think that mooncakes are delicious!Clara: Guess what? I’m going to Chiang Mai in two weeks.Ben: Wow, sounds like fun! But I believe that April is the hottest month of the year there.Clara: Yes, that’s true. But there’s a water festival there from April 13th to 15th.Ben: I wonder if it’s similar to the Water Festival of the Dai people in Yunnan Province.Clara: Yes, I think so. This is the time of the Thai New Year. People go on the streets to throe water at each other.Ben: Cool! But why do they do that?Clara: Because the new year is a time for cleaning and washing away bad things. Then you’ll have good luck in the new year.Full Moon, Full FeelingsChinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes are in the shape of afull moon on the Mid-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 magic medicine to thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drink it with Changé. However, a bad man, Peng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Changé 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 wishe d that Changé could come back!After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.The Spirits of ChristmasMany would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.A Christmas Carol is a famous short novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. Heis mean and only thinks about himself. He 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 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. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning---Christmas Day! He decided to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the truespirit of Christmas.Unit 3 could you please tell me where the restrooms are?He Wei: This is Fun Times Park, the biggest amusement park in ourcity!Alice: I’m excited to try the rides!He Wei: What should we start with? There’s Space World, Water World, Animal World…Alice: Before we decide, could you first tell me where the restrooms are?He Wei: Pardon? Restrooms? You want to rest? But we haven’t even started yet!Alice: Oh no, I don’t mean that. I mean…you know, a washroom or bathroom.He Wei: Hmm…so you mean…the toilet?Alice: Yes! Sorry, maybe people in China don’t often use the word “restroom” when they speak English.He Wei: That’s right. In China, we normally say “toilet’’ or‘’washroom’’ in English. Anyway, they’re over there.Alice: OK. I’ll be quick!He Wei: No problem. You don’t need to rush!Fun 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: Wei l…it looks scary.He Wei: Come on! I promise it’ll be exciting! If you’re sc ared,just shout or hold my hand.[After the ride…]Alice: You were right! That was fun! I was scared at first, but shouting 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!He Wei: Do you want to go to Water World now?Alice: Sure, but I’m getting 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 serves delicious food.Alice: Great! Let’s go![On their way to Water City Restaurant, Alice and He Wei pass by Uncle Bob’s.]Alice: Look! This restaurant looks interesting. The sign says a rock band plays here every evening.He Wei: Why don’t we come back here for dinner later? Let’s ask what time the band starts playing.[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 playingthis evening?Staff: Eight o’clock. The restaurant is always busy at that time, so come a little earlier to get a table.He Wei: OK. Thank you!Could You Please…?When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know ask forhelp politely. For example, you may ask “Where are the restroom?’’ or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?’’ These are similar requests for directions. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. Itis not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help.Good speakers change the way they speak in different situations. The expressions they use might depend on whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other. It is all right to ask direct questions to your classmates because you know them well. However, 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.Usually polite questions are longer. They include expressions such as “ Could you please…?” or “May I ask…?” It sound more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me y our e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, we might first sayto a stranger, “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 directly. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations. This will help you communicate better with other people. Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.Alfred: This party is such a great idea!Gina: I agree. It’s been three years since we last saw our primary school classmates.Alfred: It’s interesting to see how people have changed.Gina: Billy has changed so much! He used to be so shy and quite. Alfred: Yeah, his face always turned red when he talked to girls. Gina: I used to see him reading in the library every day.Alfred: That’s because he was a really good student. He studied hard and got good scores on his exams.Gina: Did he use to wear glasses?Alfred: Yes, and he used to be thin, too. But look how big and strong he is now!Gina: He’s so popular now. look at all the girls around him.From Shy Girl to Pop Star1.For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-oldAsian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to bereally shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As shegot 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 hoe life was different after she became famous. Sheexplained that there are many good things, like being able totravel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to bepopular in school, but now I get tons of attentions everywhere 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 careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have muchprivate time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almostimpossible for me now because there are always g uards around me.”3.What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want tobecome famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to beprepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine howdifficult the road to success is. Many times I thought aboutgiving 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.”He Studied Harder Than He Used toLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy from the countryside. He worksvery hard and does well in school. It is hard to believe that he used to have difficulties in school. When he was a little boy, he seldom caused any problems, and his family spent a lot time together. However, things began to change a few years ago. His parents moved to the city to look for jobs. And his grandparents came to take care of him. But he missed his parents so much and he often felt lonely and unhappy.Li Wen’s unhappiness began to influence his schoolwork. He becameless interested in studying. Sometimes he was absent from classes and failed his examinations. Finally, Li Wen’s parents made the decision to send him to boarding school. However, Li Wen was shy and was not able to make friends quickly in school. He found life there difficult. One day he told his teacher that he wanted to leave the school. His teacher was worried about him and she called his parents. She advised them to talk with their son in person. So his parents took a 24-hour train and a 5-hour bus ride to get to Li Wen’s school.T hey had a long talk. “It was exactly what I needed, “he said. “Now I understand that even though they are busy, they are always thinking of me. They take pride in everything good that I do.”After that, Li Wen’s parents had much more communication with the ir son than they used to. Now Li Wen has really changed. He became more outgoing and made some good friends in school. He even joined the school basketball team and became active in many other activities. “I’m much happier now, and I work even harder than I used to. I know my parents love me and they’re always proud of me,” says Li Wen. “It is very important for parents to be there for their children.”Unit 5 what are the shirts made of?Pam: China is famous for tea, right?Liu Jun: Yes, both in the past and now.Pam: Where is tea produced in China?Liu Jun: Well, in many different areas. For example, Anxi and Hangzhou are widely known for their tea.Pam: How is tea produced?Liu Jun: Well, as far as I know, tea plants are grown on the sides of mountains. When the leaves are ready, they are picked by hand and then are sent for processing.Pam: What happens next?Liu Jun: The tea is packed and sent to many different countries and places around China.Pam: It seems that many people all over the world drink Chinese tea. Liu Jun: Yes, people say that tea is good for both health and business.The difficult search for American products in the USIf you go to another country, what kind 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 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 were 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 w ere many other things there 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.Beauty 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. Paper cutting has been around for over 1500 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, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, door 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 from a 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 the polished and painted. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the lovethat all Chinese people have for life and beauty.Unit 6 when was it invented?Paul: Hey Roy, the subject for my school project is “Smalli nventions that changed the world”. Can you help me think of an invention?Roy: My pleasure! Let me think…hmm…I know! The zipper!Paul: The zipper? Is it really such a great invention?Roy: Think about how often it’s used in our daily lives. You can see zippers on dresses, trouser s, shoes, bags…almost everywhere!Paul: Well, you do seem to have a point…Roy: Of course! I thought about it because I saw a website last week. The pioneers of different inventions were listed there. For example, it mentioned time, it wasn’t used widely.Paul: Really? So when did it become popular?Roy: Around 1917.An Accidental InventionDid you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after world), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk about 5000 years ago. It is said that Chinese rulercalled Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. One dayShen 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. It was quite delicious, and so, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plantswere 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 app ear until around 1660, but in less than 100 years, 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.Do you know when basketball was invented?Basketball is a much-loved and active sport that is enjoyed by manyfor fun and exercise. It is over 100 years old and is played by more than 100 million people in over 200 countries. It is believed thatthe first basketball game in history was played on December 21, 1891. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an event at the Olympics.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was a college teacher, he was asked to think of a game that could 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 playhis new game. Players on the same team must work together to 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. Today, the popularity of basketball has risen around the world, with many young people dreaming of becoming famous players. In China, you can sometimes see people even factories. Basketball has not only become a popular sport to play, but it has also become a popularsport to watch. Although America’s NBA games are the most famous,the CBA games are becoming more popular in China. The number offoreign players, including Chinese players, in the NBA has increased. 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 achievetheir dreams.Unit 7 teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes. Sandy: I’m really excit ed about seeing the famous paintings by Picasso.Wu Lan: Me, too! I’m glad Mr. Smith chose the art museum for our school trip this year.Sandy: I’m going to bring my new camera to take lots of photos!Wu Lan: Oh, no. Mr. Smith says we must not take photos. It is not allowed in the museum.Sandy: That’s too bad! Do you think we may be allowed to take photos if we don’t use a flash?Wu Lan: Hmm… I think they just want to protect the paintings. So if you don’t use flash, then it may be OK.Sandy: Yeah. I think we should be allowed to do that. I’ll bring my camera anyway.Mom knows best.When 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 in.When I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger.When I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me up.When I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me.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 dreams.But 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 times.I coughed for day after eating that ice-creamAnd had scary dreams after watching that film.I was late for school from staying out past ten.I regret talking back, not listening to Mom.Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!Should 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 slowed 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 totrain so much. “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 as 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 so.”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 it is difficult to become a professional sports star.”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 t o make this choice myself. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream.”Unit 8 it must belong to Carla.Linda: Mom, I’m really worried.Mom: Why? What’s wrong?Linda: I can’t find my schoolbag.Mom: Well, where did you last put it?Linda: I can’t r emember! I attended a concert yesterday so it might still be in the music hall.Mom: Do you have anything valuable in your schoolbag?Linda: No, just my books, my pink hair band and some tennis balls. Mom: So it can’t be stolen.Linda: Oh, wait! I went to a picnic after the concert. I remember I had my schoolbag with me at the picnic.Mom: So could it still be at the park?Linda: Yes. I left early, before the rest of my friends. I think somebody must have picked it up. I’ll call them now to check if anybody has it.We live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quite. Nothing much very ever happened around here. However, these days, something usually is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviews by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, buy my friend and I think it must be teenagers having fun. Myparents 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.”Everyone in our town is feeling uneasy, and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must be something 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.Stonehenge---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. People like to go to this place especially in June 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 out together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stone. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,“ said one visitor. So 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 5000 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 built 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 hard-working--- and great planners!”。

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”! 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 bringssomething 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 wasso 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.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 childhoodand 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 popularactivity 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.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.[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 yourteacher, “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 fi rst 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 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 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 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 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 hardwork 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. __________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 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 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? 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 studentfrom 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 tobamboo, 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 andpainted. 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.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 tradefrom 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 thencooked 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.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 ideafirst. 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!”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 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 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.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.”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.
