Unit1 How can we become good learners?How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.Unit 2 I think that mooncakes are delicious!Full Moon, Full FeelingsChinese people have been celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon onmid-autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the families they love a nd 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 became very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden.How he wished that Chang’e could come back!After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.From Shy Girl to Pop Star1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s no t shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in s chool, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly,“you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.”Unit5 What are the shirts made of?The Difficult Search for American Goods in the USIf you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.”Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketbal l shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China —footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.Unit 6 When was it invented?An 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 waterwere used.It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.Unit8 It must belong to Carla.We live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quiet and nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days, something unusual is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don’t think so!”Victor’s next-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. “At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, either. So I guess it can’t be a dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something running away, but it was dark so she is not sure. “I think it was too big to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.”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.Unit 9 I like music that I can dance to.What Do You Feel Like Watching Today?While some people only stick to one kind of movie, I like to watch different kinds depending on how I feel that day.When I’m down or tired, I prefer movies that can cheer me up. Comedies like Men in Black or cartoons like Kungfu Panda have funny dialogues and usually have a happy ending. The characters may not be perfect, but they try their best to solve their problems. After watching them, I’m filled with hope again and the problems I have suddenly seem less serious. Laughing for two hours is a good way to relax!I don’t watch dramas or documentaries when I’m sad or tired. Dramas like Titanic make me feel even sadder. Documentaries like March of the Penguins which provide plenty of information about a certain subject can be interesting, but when I’m tired I don’t want to think too much. I don’t mind action movies like Spider-Man when I’m too tired to think. I can just shut off my brain, sit back and enjoy watching an exciting superhero who always saves the world just in time.Once in a while, I like to watch movies that are scary, like horror movies or thrillers. Movies like The Ring or The Shining can be fun, but I’m too scared to watch them alone.I always bring a friend who isn’t afraid of these kinds of movies.Unit 10 You’re supposed to shake hands.Where I’m from, we’re pretty relaxed about time. We don’t like to rush around, so we don’t mind if people are a little late sometimes. If you tell a friend you’re going to their house for dinner, it’s OK if you arrive a bit late. We like to enjoy our time slowly. We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives. We oft en just drop by our friends’ homes if we have time. We don’t usually have to make plans to meet our friends. When we see e ach other, it’s polite for boys to shake hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face. We oft en just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!In Switzerland, it’s very important to be on time. We’re the capit al of clocks and watches, after all! If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon, then you’re expected to be there at noon. If you’re even 15 minutes late, your friend may get mad. So I make an effort to be on time when I meet my friends. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic. I don’t mind because Ithink it’s impolite to keep others waiting. Also, we never visit a friend’s house without calling first. We almost always make plans to see friends. We usually plan to do something interesting, or go somewhere together.Unit 11 Sad movies make me cry.How to Be HappyA long time ago, in a rich and peaceful country, there lived an unhappy king. He slept badly and didn’t feel like eating. His face was always pale aschalk. He oft en cried for no reason. This made the queen and his people worried.One day, a doctor was called in to examine the king. But he found nothing wrong with his body. “It’s all in his mind. Neither medicine nor rest can help him. What he needs is the shirt of a happy p erson to wear. That’ll make him happy.”The prime minister was called to the palace. But when they explained the king’s situation to him, he said, “Although I have a lot of power, it doesn’t make me happy. I’m always worried about losing my power. Many peo ple are trying to take my position.”Then, the king’s banker came to the palace. “Oh, I’m afraid I’m not happy either,”he said. I have a lot of wealth, but I’m always worried about losing my money. Someone tries to steal my money every day.”Next, the pal ace singer came to the king’s room. But this is what he said: “It’s true that I’m famous and everyone loves my songs. But I’m not happy because I’m always worried about being followed by others. I cannot be free!”Finally, the king’s top general was told t o go out and find a happy man in three days’ time.Unit 12 Life is full of the unexpected.Life is full of the unexpected.In May 2001, I found a job in New York at the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001, I arrived at my building at around 8:30 a.m. I was about to go up when I decided to get a coffee first. I went to my favorite coffee place even though it was two blocks east from my office. As I was waiting in line with other office workers, I heard a loud sound. Before I could join the others outside to see what was going on, the first plane had already hit my office building. We stared in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building. I felt lucky to be alive.Almost 10 years later, I woke up at 10:00 a.m. on February 21, 2011 and realized that my alarm never went off. I jumped out of bed and went straight to the airport. But by the time I got to the airport, my plane to New Zealand had already taken off. “This is the first holiday I’ve taken in a year, and I miss my plane. What bad luck!” I thought to myself. The other planes were full so I had to wait till the next day. The next morning, I heard about the earthquake in New Zealand the day before. My bad luck had unexpectedly turned into a good thing.Unit 13 We’re trying to save the earth!Many have heard of shark’s fin soup. This famous and expensive dish is especially popular in southern China. But do you realize that you’re killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark’s fin soup?When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the shark back into the ocean. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. This method is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. I f their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.Environmental protection groups around the world, such as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”. They have even asked governments to d evelop laws to stop the sale of shark’s fins. So far, no scientific studies have shown thatshark’s fins are good for health, so why eat them? Help save the sharks!。

But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.P6 2bHow Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners havesome 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 brings something new. Everything that youlearn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.P8 self check 1ifyou_______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 tostudy_________ at once. If you________ 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 on mid-autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the families they love and miss.There are many traditional folk stories about this festival.

How he wished that Chang’e could come back!After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.P12 4bDear Xia Yu,Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children oft en give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gift s to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to show our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.JuneP14 2bThe Spirit of ChristmasMany would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gift s, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and is perhaps the best example of this.A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. He sees that he is dead but nobody cares. Scrooge is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is already the next morning on Christmas Day!He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gift s to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!P16 self check 1Many Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always on aSunday__________March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates thebirth of new life. Hens________eggs, giving birth to life. So an egg is a symbolof new life. A popular activity during Easter is to hide eggsaround your home or_________for friends or________ to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Not only do people ________them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these_________as gifts. So just like Christmas, Easter createsgood________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 goodfood quickly?He Wei: Of course! I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World. It’s a fast food place. It serves delicious hamburgers and hot dogs.Alice: That sounds perfect![On their way to Water City Restaurant, Alice and He Wei pass by Uncle Bob’s.]Alice: Oh, look! This restaurant looks interesting. It seems a rock band plays there every evening.He Wei: Maybe we can come here for dinner later. Let’s ask what time the band starts.[Alice and He Wei walk up to a staff person at the door.]He Wei: Excuse me, could you tell us when the band starts playing this evening?Staff: Eight o’clock. It’s always busy, so come a little earlier to get a table.He Wei: OK, thanks!P22 2bCould You Please ...?When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests for directions to a place. Both ar e 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 withdifferent people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates.Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please ...?” or “Can I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.P27 3aFrom Shy Girl to Pop Star1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymo re and loves singing in front of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explainedthat there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly,“you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.”P30 2bHe Used to Cause a Lot of TroubleLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy who works hard in school and gets good grades. It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child” until a conversation 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 how much they had given me. They also told me that even though they couldn’t be there to take care of me, they were always thinking of me and would take pride in everything good that Idid.___________. I realized that since my parents moved away, I’ve been afraid of being alone, and have tried to make my parents pay more attention to me.”____________. He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class. His parents’ love has made him feel good about himself. “It’s very important for parents to be there for their children,” Li Wen says.P31 2etrouble for his parents. When his parents moved to work in anothercity, they could not be at home to____________ him. So he was___________ interested in studying and missed classes. Then his parents________to send him to a boarding school and he________it. In the end, his teacher advised his parents to talk with their son and this conversation____________ his life. He realized that his parents would__________everything good that he did. Now he is one of the best students in his class.Unit5 What are the shirts made of?P35 3aThe Difficult Search for American Goods in the USIf you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.”Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball s hoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China —footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.P38 2bBeauty in Common ThingsEach different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life such as love, beauty andfamily. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters froma Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.P39 2d1. People used to sky lanterns when they were in trouble. But today, people lightthe 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 intothings__________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 Engl and, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 yearslater, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.P44 4cThe telephone (invent) by Alexander Graham Bell. He_______(born) in 1847. Alexander_____ (work) on the invention of the telephone with Thomas Watson. In 1875, Alexander______ (learn) to send musical notes through an instrument similar to a telephone. Finally, the telephone________(invent) in 1876. The first sentence that_______ (say) on the telepho ne 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? Potatochips____________by a cook called George Crum. They were invented in________. George Crum cut the potatoes really, really__________and then cooked them for a long time until they were__________ . Andhe put lots of salt on them so they were____________ .p46 2bDo You Know When BasketballWas Invented?Basketball is a much-loved and active sport more than 100 million people inover 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.Although America’s NBA games are the most famous, the CBA games are becoming popular in China. The number of foreign players, including Chinese players, in the NBA has increased. And there are also more and more foreign players in the CBA. Many young people look up to these basketball heroes and want to become like them. These stars encourage young people to work hard to achieve their dreams.P48 Self Check 1It is often difficult to decide on the inventor of certain inventions. This is because sometimes a few people may_______things which are_______the same. Opinions are then_______ about who came up with the idea first. Some inventions can also all of a_______lead to other inventions. So some people_______whether the inventor came up with the idea himself or herself. They think that the inventor used someone else’s idea to create his or her invention. That is why books or websites usually ________more than one inventor when giving information about inventions.Unit7 Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.P51 3aMom Knows BestWhen I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my sideWhen I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep inWhen I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from dangerWhen I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me upWhen I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for meBut I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”When I was nine watch ing scary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreamsBut I shouted back angrily, “I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”But I talked back again —“I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeennow!”Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those timesI coughed for days after eating that ice-creamAnd had scary dreams after watching that filmI was late for school from staying out past tenI regret talking back, not listening to MomMom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!P52 4bShould teenagers _________(ask) to move out when they start working? In many Western countries, teenagers_______ (allow) to move out at sixteen or seventeen. Their parents believe that they should__________ (educate) to take care of themselves from a young age. This way, when they_______ (start) working they can manage their own lives. However, in most Asian societies, the family unit is especially strong. So it is not common for teenagers to_______ (move) out. Chinese parents believe that it is better for children to live with parents who can_______(take) care of them. But the young should then look after their parents as they get older. That is why many Chinese adults ______(continue) to live with their parents.P54 2bShould I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions?Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on hisschool team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. However, his parents wo n’t allow him to train so much. “Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu. “And we know how much he loves running. My wife and I have supported every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs to thi nk about other possible jobs. He’s getting older now, so he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t end up a professional runner.”Liu Yu doesn’t really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,”he says. “My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I’m serious about running. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don’t allow him to practice running at night. “Maybe he thinks it’s too strict or unfair,” says Mrs. Liu. “But we think we’re doing the right thing. He needs to spend more time on his homework because becoming a professional sports star is a difficult dream.”But Liu Yu still disagrees. “I know my parents care about me. They always talk about what will happen if I don’t succeed. But I will! I’m a quick runner! I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my d ream.”Unit8 It must belong to Carla.P59 3aWe live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quiet and nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days,something unusual is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don’t think so!”Victor’s next-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. “At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, either. So I guess it can’t be a dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something running away, but it was dark so she is not sure. “I think it was too big to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.”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.P62 2bStonehenge — Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There?Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places, but also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than750,000 visitors. Especially in June, people go to this place as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient。

Thank you!Section B 2bCould Y ou Please...?When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to askfor help politely. For example, you may ask "Where are the restrooms?"or "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" These are similarrequests for directions. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to justask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite when weask for help.Good speakers change the way they speak in different situations.The expressions they use might depend on whom they are speaking to orhow well they know each other. It is all right to ask direct questions toyour classmates because you know them well. However, if you say toyour teacher, "When is the school trip?", this might sound impolite. But ifyou say "Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?",this will sound much more polite.Usually apply to questions or longer. They include expressions such as "Could you please...? or "May I ask...?"It sounds more polite to say,"Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?" than "Peter, tell meyour e-mail address." Sometimes we even need to spend time leading intoa request. For example, we might first say to a stranger, "Excuse me, Iwonder if you can help me" or "I'm sorry to trouble you, but..."beforeasking 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 differentsituations. This will help you communicate better with other people.。

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 funnymovie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well. Although I could not understand everything the characters s aid, their body language and the expressions o n 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 s entences like “It’s a piece of cake”not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I serves you right.” I didlooked 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 mistakesmore. Remember, “use it or Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practiceforget it unless you use it. Practice makes perfect. Goodlose it”! Even if you learn something well, you willlearners 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?

Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon onmid-autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the families they love and miss.There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautifulwife. 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 tobad man, Feng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. drink it with Chang’e. However, avery light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She becameso sad that he called out her name to the moon every night.

One is Mother’s Day on the secondthe third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day onoft 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 na. I wonder if children over there also give similar gift s to their parents. I believeDay and Father’s Day in Chimoney. It is also a goodthat there are many ways to show our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot ofidea 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 Scroogewho 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 afterwant to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge tohe died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’ｔexpect 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 1garden spread between treats business lay relativesMany Western countries celebrate Easter.

It’ｓHe 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 mewhere the restrooms are?” are similar requests for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct — or more indirect — when we ask for help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to yourteacher, “, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you When is the school trip.’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questionsknow when the school trip is?’’in some situations, like with your classmates.please ...?” or “Can I Usually polite questions are longer a nd include more language such as “Could youtell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you pleasewe even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with ayour e-mail address.” Sometimessorry to trouble you, stranger on the street, we might fi rst say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’ｍbut ...” before asking for help.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to useproper 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’sYoung World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candytold me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she daredre and loves singing into sing in front of her class, a nd then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymofront of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now Ialways have toget tons of attention e verywhere I go.”However, too much att e ntion can also be a bad thing. “Ｉt have muchworry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are alwaysguards 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 lif e. You can never imagine how difficult the road tosuccess is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hardwork to succeed. O nly a very small number of people make it to the top.”P30 2bHe Used to Cause a Lot of TroubleLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy who works hard in school and gets good grades. It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child” until a conversation withhis parents influenced his way of thinking. Li Wen lives in the Sichuan countryside.

One day, he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. __________The head teacher advised his parents to talk with their son in person.

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 somany 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. “Bu I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made i n America!” He realized that Americans can hardlyavoid buying products made i n 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’great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China willalso 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 thethings 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 allto 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 2dsuch as turn ... into send out cover with rise into put ... on1.

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. I n 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. Thebook 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 appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade didn’ｔfrom China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea andthe tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, theChinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.P44 4cThe telephone (invent) by Alexander Graham Bell.

In China,you can sometimes see people playing basketball in parks, schools and even in factories.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When hewas 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 andthe “basket”. Players taught them to play his new game. The purpose of the game is for players to get a ball intoam’s basket. At the same time, on the same team must work together to help each other get the ball in the other tethey 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.NBA games are the most famous, the CBA games are becoming popular in China.Although America’ｓThe number of foreign players, including Chinese players, in the NBA has increased.
