语篇翻译（一）课文注释Not just①watching a film ???RealCine—virtual reality②for everyoneThis presentation③will give you some information about RealCine: how it works, why it is better than a film, and how it can be used in other ways. The RealCine experience will amaze④you, and you will agree that this is an extraordinary⑤technology that deserves to be developed⑥further.The technology behind RealCine is virtual reality (VR). Unlike a film, where a passive⑦audience watches and hears what is happening on a screen, RealCine puts you into the action⑧and connects with⑨your senses of sight, hearing, smell and touch in an active way. Imagine that a VR user 'goes' sightseeing in the Himalayas. Not only will he or she feel every step of climbing Mount Qomolangma, but the user will also⑩experience the cold, smells, sights and sounds of the surrounding environment; he or she will enjoy a feeling of happiness and a sense of achievement? upon reaching the top.RealCine works by making the users feel that they are really in a new world --- a world that doesnot exist except in a computer program. To achieve this, special VR headsets are designed to allow the users to see in 3-D and hear the sound all around them. The movements of the headset indicate? the direction in which the user wants to go. The user also wears special gloves so he or she can 'touch' the people and objects that he or she sees. To add to the virtual world of RealCine, the headsets even have small openings that give out? smells to match the environment. Both the headsets and the gloves a re connected to? a computer network in the VR studio.In scientific studies it has been shown that VR can be a good treatment for people who have social problems. In one case, a teenager who was afraid of talking and playing with his schoolmates was treated with VR. In the world created by RealCine, he became the captain of the Brazilian football team and scored the winning goal in a World Cup final. This encouraged him to become? moreconfident around others.An argument has been put forward?that some users will be disappointed by?RealCine because VR is not real. However, with VR we are able to do things that could never be achieved in real life. For example, with the aid of? RealCine, a seventy-year-old grandfather recently took a trip to Africa. In reality?, he is disabled and can no longer walk, but he was able to see and touch a lion while still in the convenience? of the VR studio.Besides this, VR can be used to practise skills in a secure○21environment that otherwise would be quite dangerous. For example, firefighters could use RealCine to train safely, without the risk of○22getting injured in a burning building. It could be used in class as well○23. Teachers could bring history alive○24by placing○25students in an ancient town, or they could teach biology by allowing students to experience the world as a whale or a squirrel.Finally, RealCine provides fantastic technology for○26urban planning. Engineers can enter the design of a neighbourhood into a computer, and then use VR to 'walk' around the neighbourhood, see how it looks and make changes before construction is carried out○27. This kind of urban planning is in the long term○28cheaper and more practical, compared with○29the way most urban planning is done today. I recommend○30the government use the technology in the future planning of this city.课文注释①not just 不仅仅；不只是=not olny②virtual reality虚拟现实③presentation n. 呈现，描述，陈述；介绍；赠送④amaze vt. 使吃惊⑤extraordinary adj. 非凡的；特别的；离奇的⑥deserve to be done=deserve doing值得做某事⑦passive adj. 被动的，消极的；被动语态的n. 被动语态⑧put…into action付诸行动, 付诸实施⑨connect with连接；与…联系⑩Not only…but (also) 不仅…，而且…? a sense of achievement成就感 a sense of humour / direction/responsibility幽默感/方向感/责任感?indicate vt. 表明；指出；预示；象征?give out 散发，发出，分发；公布，发表；用尽，精疲力竭?be connected to 与…连接与；…有关联?encourage sb. to do 鼓励某人做某事discourage sb. from doing sth 阻止某人做某事?put forward vt. 提出；拿出；放出?be disappointed by/at sth (with sb.) 对…感到失望?with the aid of 在…的帮助下，在…的援助下?in reality 实际上，事实上=in fact=as a matter of fact=actually?convenience n. 便利；厕所；便利的事物○21secure adj. 安全的；无虑的；有把握的；稳当的vt. 保护；招致；缚住vi. 获得安全；船抛锚；停止工作○22without the risk of 没有…的危险with the risk of 有…的危险take the risk of 冒险做某事○23as well也；同样地○24bring … alive使…复活/再现○25place vt. 放置；任命；寄予vi. 名列前茅；取得名次n. 地方；住所；座位○26provide sth. for sb.=provide sb. with sth提供某物给某人○27be carried out 被执行，得到实现○28in the long term从长远来看in the short term从短期来看；就眼前来说○29compared with与...相比较(作状语)○30recommend vt. 推荐，介绍；劝告；使受欢迎；托付vi. 推荐；建议课文译文不仅仅是看电影RealCine——人人都能享受的虚拟现实电影这次演讲将告诉大家有关RealCine的一些信息：它是如何应用的，为什么它比电影更好，它还有什么其它的用途。
译林牛津版高一英语必修4 Unit2 The Olympic Games电子文本、课文注释及翻译
语篇翻译（一）课文注释Unit 2 ReadingThe Olympic GamesGood afternoon, students and teachers. As a member of the International Olympic Committee, I am delighted to①have been invited to your school to talk to you about the history and significance②of the Olympic Games. I'll share some interesting facts and stories with you, and then we'll have time for questions.Do you know when the ancient Olympic Games began? It was in the year 776 BC. They were held at Olympia in Greece every four years③, for almost 12 centuries, until AD 394.Some of the sports from the ancient Olympics are still seen today, such as the long jump, wrestling and running. At the ancient Olympics, by tradition④the athletes were all men and they had to compete wearing no clothes. Single women were allowed to take part in⑤their own competition⑥, at a separate festival in honour of Hera, the wife of the Greek god Zeus. Today, both male and female athletes from around the world can take part, no matter what nation they come from.The contemporary⑦Olympics were first held in 1896, in Athens. It was a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who brought the Olympics back to life⑧. He dreamt that the Olympics would make it possible for people of all countries to live side by side⑨in peace⑩. Now people all over the world are helping to realize this dream⑪. Among them are many well-known athletes.Did you know that perhaps the most famous boxer of all time first came to public attention⑫during the 1960 Rome Olympics? He won the gold medal for the USA, under his birth name Cassius Clay. Afterwards, this young man went on⑬to win the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship in 1964 and later changed his name to the one we all know, Muhammad Ali. He returned to the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996 to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony⑭.Another sports star I would like to mention is Michael Jordan. Everyone knows of⑮his success in the NBA, but do you know that he helped the USA basketball team win the gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics? Jordan also returned to the Olympics after many years, but unlike Muhammad Ali, he was still competing for⑯ medals. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Jordan won his second Olympic gold medal as a member of the so-called 'Dream Team'.Chinese athletes have also made important contributions⑰ to the Olympic Games. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the People's Republic of China returned to the Olympics after 32 years' absence⑱. I am sure the whole of China must have felt proud when Xu Haifeng won the first gold medal for his country. Deng Yaping, who won four Olympic gold medals in 1992 and 1996, is perhaps the greatest female table tennis player the world has ever seen. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang excited⑲ people all over Asia when he became the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men's 110-metre hurdles.The Chinese led the way⑳at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, winning 51 gold medals. For the first time in history, the Chinese women's gymnastics team won the gold medal. However, the athlete that some people remember most was Zhang Ning, a former badminton champion. At the age of 33, she was much older than the other players. Yet, she hung on○21to win the gold medal in the final match.These are some of the Olympic athletes who have brought joy to people across the world with their attempts ○22to push○23the boundaries of human achievement. We are looking forward to○24 seeing more of them in future Olympic Games. Join me in wishing the Olympic Movement a successful future to match○25its past glory○26. Thank you. Now, are there any questions?课文注释①be delighted to do/to have done : 高兴去做某事/ 高兴做过某事②significance n. 意义；重要性be of significance =be significant③every four years每四年④by tradition照传统⑤take part in参加，参与⑥competition n. 竞争；比赛，竞赛compete vi. 竞争；比赛；对抗competitive adj. 竞争的；比赛的⑦contemporary n. 同时代的人；同时期的东西adj. 当代的；同时代的；属于同一时期的⑧bring…back to life 使复活⑨side by side并肩；一起；并排⑩in peace和平地；安静，宁静；安祥地⑪realize one’s dream 实现梦想⑫come to public attention引起公众关注⑬go on to do 继续做另一件事go on doing sth 继续做同一件事⑭at the opening ceremony在开幕式上; 在开幕典礼上⑮know of知道，了解…；听说过…⑯compete for为…竞争；为…比赛⑰made contributions to 为…做贡献⑱absence n. 没有；缺乏；缺席；不注意adj. 缺席的；缺少的；心不在焉的；茫然的be absent fromvt. 使缺席absent oneself from⑲excite vt. 激起；刺激…，使…兴奋excited adj. 兴奋的；激动的exciting adj. 令人兴奋的/激动的⑳lead the way 领先；带路○21hang on坚持下去；不挂断；握住不放○22with one’s attempt to do 尝试做某事○23push vt. 推动，增加；对…施加压力，逼迫；按；说服vi. 推进；增加；努力争取n. 推，决心；大规模攻势；矢志的追求○24look forward to (doing) sth 盼望/期待做某事○25match vt. 使比赛；使相配；敌得过，比得上；相配；与…竞争vi. 比赛；匹配；相配，相称；相比n. 比赛，竞赛；匹配；对手；火柴○26glory n. 光荣，荣誉；赞颂课文译文奥林匹克运动会老师们，同学们，下午好。

牛津高中英语模块2课文翻译Unit 1 Reading 男孩失踪，警方茫然美国警方现已加紧对一名15岁男孩的搜索，该男孩于三天前在新罕布什尔州的多佛市失踪。
该事件引起了公众的极大兴趣，原因是有各种关于男孩失踪前后天空中出现奇怪光亮和外星人造访地球的新闻报道。
人们最后一次看见学生贾斯廷·福斯特是在星期五晚上。
当晚8点，贾斯廷和两个朋友到外面打棒球，这两个朋友都说贾斯廷打完球就回家家。
目击者也说晚上10点45分他们看到贾斯廷朝家走去。
贾斯廷的妹妹，九岁的凯莉说大约11点她听到哥哥回到家中。
“我止准备上床睡觉，”凯莉说，“贾斯廷径直去自己的卧室了。
我并没有看到他，但我听到他放了自己最喜爱的CD。
我上床睡觉了，大约午夜时分我被窗外的亮光弄醒了。
”起先，小姑娘以为是满月的光亮，然而接着她意识到光亮在移动，而且越来越近。
“我拉开窗帘，看到一只巨大的飞船在窗外飞行。
飞船四周是蓝色的光，还有很多窗户里面站着许多白皮肤、眼睛又黑又大的奇怪生物。
我害怕极了。
”凯莉说飞船接着转到房子的侧面，朝她哥哥的卧室移去。
“出现一道闪光，我还听到贾斯廷的叫喊，接着“飞船就消失了。
从那以后我就再没见过贾斯廷。
肯定是外星人带走了他。
”凯莉然后跑去叫醒她的妈妈。
但是，福斯特夫人以为贾斯廷在…个朋友家过夜了，因此她认为凯莉只是做了个恶梦，于是将她打发回床上。
福斯特先生当晚忙于他的道路建设工作，事件发生时并不在家。
第二天午饭时贾斯廷仍未露面，福斯特夫人开始担心起来，于是让丈夫打电话报警。
多佛市的一些人也声称当晚看见了外星人。
“这种事在我身上就发生过！’‘梅维斯·伍德夫人说，“那些外星人将我劫持到飞船上，以便他们在我身上做研究。
幸运的是，他们放我回家，我一点儿也没有受伤。
整个经历太可怕了！回家之后我一直睡不好觉。
我认为贾斯廷也是被他们劫持走了。
”当被问及贾斯廷被外星人绑架的可能性时，负责调查此案的萨姆·彼得森侦探告诉记者：“人们有时候编造出这类奇异的故事。

搜索代码：短语分词不定式完成时with结构句型M1U1 SCHOOL life in the UKGoing to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me. I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3.30 p.m. This means I could get up an hour later than usual as schools in China begin before 8 a.m.On the first day, all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall. I sat next to a girl whose name is Diane. We soon became best friends. During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote oneself to study and achieve high grades. This sounded like my school in China.I had many teachers in the past year. Mr. Heywood , my class teacher, was very helpful. My favorite teacher was Miss Burke—I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature. In our class there were 28 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.I found the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school, but it was a bit challenging for me at firs t because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I enjoyed all my subjects: English, History, English Literature, Computer Science, Maths, Science, PE, Art, Cooking and French.My English improved a lot as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library.I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break, so I could send e-mails to my family and friends back home for free.I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings. Cooking was really fun as I learned how to buy, prepare and cook food. At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something. I was glad that all my classmates were fond of the cake that I made.Students at that school have to study Maths, English and Science, but can stop studying some subjects if they don’t like them, for example, History and French. They can choose other subjects like Art and Computer Science or Languages such as Spanish and German. In the Art class that I took, I made a small sculpture. Though it didn’t look very beautiful when it was finished, I still liked it very much.I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating dessert at the end of their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school field. Sometimes I played football with the boys. Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.I was very lucky to experience this different way of life. I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction, and I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again.在英国的学校生活在英国上了一年的中学对我来说是一段非常令人愉快和兴奋的经历。

When I was an awkward primary school student, she was the popular girl who was willing to make friends with me. Since then, a close friendship has grown between us and she’s been almost like a sister to me. Whether we’re walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, we’re hardly out of each other’s sight. But last Saturday, she broke my heart, and I’m still picking up the pieces.Our original plan was to see a film at the cinema that afternoon. But in the morning, my friend posted a message on social media saying she had a cold. When I called her, she said she might not be able to make it to the cinema. “Don’t worry,”I said.“Get some rest. We can wait till you get better.”Today, however, I received a horrible surprise. A classmate told me she had seen my friend chatting with another girl in a caféon Saturday afternoon. How stupid I was! My friend’s “illness”was a complete lie! Instead of recovering at home, she was out having fun with someone else.I was so angry that I avoided her during school all day, and I still don’t feel like responding to any of her online messages. The stress of this situation is killing me, and I’m at a loss what to do next.CindyMonday 12/10 9:52 p.m.I’m so sorry! But this friendship is worth saving: eight years is a long time! Don’t be so quick to judge your friend.Perhaps she knows she’s in the wrong and wants to apologize, or maybe she has a simple explanation for her behaviour. In any case, find an opportunity to havea full and frank talk with her. Listen to what she has to say, and be sure to explain how you feel. I’m sure you can solve this problem together.DavidTuesday 13/10 8:11 p.m.I definitely understand how you feel. I also had a friend whom I trusted a lot. When I found out that I was tricked byhim, I was really hurt and let go of our friendship. I know you value your friendship and want your friend to value it equally. However, if your friend ignores your feelings or makes you suffer, it’s time to rethink yourrelationship. Talk to her and decide whether this friendship is still important to you. It’s sad to move on, but you have to accept that friends come and go in life.友谊在岩石上：请指教！艾米星期一12/10 9:13 pm我和我最好的朋友已经快八年了。

Book 1 Unit 1ReadingSenior high school brings a lot of new experiences to everyone. The speech below was given tonew senior high school students by their principal, Mr Xu, on the first day of term. Before youread the speech transcript, think about the following questions:•How do you think senior high school will be different from junior high school?•What do you think the principal will talk about in his speech?Hello, everyone! Welcome to senior high school! Today is the start of a new term, the start of a three-year journey and the start of a promising future.I can’t wait to describe to you what senior high school life is like. The path before you leads to a world full of challenges: a new environment, new knowledge and new ways of thinking. However, for those of you with a positive mind, opportunity lies in each challenge. When you rise to the challenges, you will have the opportunity to acquire great knowledge and enjoy personal growth. Most importantly, your time and effort at senior high school will open the door to your potential.“What is potential?” you may ask. Put simply, potential is your natural ability that can be developed when you try hard enough. Who knows what beautiful works of art you will create, what medical advances you will make or what amazing technologies you will develop! The possibilities are endless, and I have confidence in your ability to make a difference to your family, to your community and to our country. Over the next three years, you will discover your potential while you develop as a student and as aperson.To fully realize your potential, it is important for you to make the most of our school resources. Take advantage of your classes, learn from your teachers and classmates, and make use of our school facilities. There are also a lot of school activities for you. Join a club or two, and take an active part in different sports.Of equal importance are good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude. Carefully plan your study, set clear goals and balance your schoolwork with other activities. As a senior high school student, you must make efforts to improve your communication and problem-solving skills. Last but not least, always look on the bright side and never lose hope, even in difficult situations. In time you will find yourself growing into a well-rounded individual.As Lao-Tzu wisely said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” You need to make a continuous effort to train your mind and develop your character. Senior high school will help you learn and grow, yet you alone are responsible for realizing your great potential. Be confident, do your best and make us proud!Extended readingJohn Li, a Chinese senior high school student, has spent a year studying in the UK. Read his article in the school magazine about his school life abroad.\Last year, I had the chance to study at a British secondary school as an exchange student. I stayed with a lovely host family and went to school with their son, Daniel. We were both in year ten and we got on well. He is learning Chinese and will come to stay with me this year in China!The British school day begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. Students usually have to learn nine subjects at secondary school. Every student in the UK must study English, Maths and the Science subjects: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Students can also choose to study other subjects, such as History, Art and Business. The classes are different from those in China. Each teacher has their own classroom and the students move around for every lesson. In most of my classes, there were only about 20 students. In the beginning, however, it was still tough for me to remember everyone’s name!I enjoyed most of the classes, but some of them were quite challenging. Technology classes were fun. I made a clock to take home. The teacher helped me put the parts together. I like it so much that I still use it as my alarm! I found Maths quite easy and enjoyable because the material was less advanced in the UK than in China. However,learning in English was a great challenge for me. There were a lot of difficult English words, especially in Geography and Biology. Class discussion is very important in the UK, but I could not make a great contribution because sometimes I wasn’t able to express myself clearly in English. Although there was not as much homework as I was used to, it was still challenging. Fortunately, my teachers and classmates were always helpful and gave me lots of encouragement. My language skills improved over time.During the hour-long lunchtime, I ate in the school dining hall. There were lots of options including bread and butter, chicken pie and puddings, but I still missed my mum’s cooking! After lunch, I often played on the school’s huge sports field with Daniel and his friends. Sometimes we just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.After school, there were many clubs to join. The one that attracted me most was the Rugby Club. We played once a week, and it was great fun. Also, I enjoyed acting in the Theatre Club. I still have photos of myself acting in William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Joining clubs was a great way to meet British students and make friends with them.I am glad to have the opportunity to experience this different way of life. I met some great people and learnt a lot about school life in the UK. Daniel and his family were fantastic hosts, and his friends were very nice as well. I can’t wait for Daniel to visit China!TranslationUnit 1 Back to schoolReading发挥你的潜能大家好！欢迎进入高中阶段学习！今天，是新学期的开始，是一段三年旅程的开端，更是一个锦绣前程的起点。

22. M4U1. Reading —AdvertisementsNowadays, wecan find advertisements almost wherever we go. We are so used to them that we often do not even realize how many we see and hear in a day. I did some research on advertisements, and have some very important information to share with you.What is an advertisementAn advertisement uses words and pictures to persuade people to buy a product or service, or believe in an idea.Newspapers, magazines, the Internet, radio and television are the most common places to find them. There are two main types of advertisements——commercial advertisements and public service advertisements (PSAs). A commercial advertisement is one which someonehas paid for to advertise a product or service. PSAs are often run for free, and are meant to educate people about health, safety, or any other problem that affects public welfare.Does an advertisement tell people the complete truthThere are laws to protect people from advertisements that cheat people. However, we still must be aware of the skilfulmethods used in ads to try and sell us things. Even if an ad does not lie, it does not mean it is altogether innocent. One toothpaste ad declares,‘Bright -teeth fights badbreath! 'This statement tries to fool you into assuming that the toothpaste cures bad breath, yet it does not say that! All it says is that fights it, and that is not the same thing at all. One grocery tells customers, ‘You are proud of your cooking, so shouldn't you buy the very freshest food' This ad is very clever, because it tells customers they are good cooks. However, it never says that this grocery has the freshest food! The grocery just hopes that when you read the ad, you will feel pleased with the nice comment, remember the words ‘freshest food '，and makea mental connection with the food in the grocery. We must not fall for this kind of tricks.Public service advertisementsNot all ads play tricks on us though. PSAsuse someof the samemethods, like attractive pictures and clever language, but they are madeto serve the public. PSAsaim to teach us and help us lead better lives. Our government understands this and has been using PSAs to educate people for many years. China began a nationwide public service advertising campaign in 1996, andsince then various types of PSAs have appeared around the country. You have probably seen or heard someof them yourself, such as, ‘ Yes tolife ,no to drugs ' and ‘knowledge changes life. ' These ads deal with widespread social concerns. There are also PSAs that encourage people to support public service projects, such as Project Hope. Its motto is ‘Project Hope--- educating every child '. There are even PSAs to teachus how to live healthy lives. One of these is, ‘Whenyou smoke cigarettes, you are slowly killing yourself '. All of these ads are meant to benefit the public, and you can often learn a lot by following the advice they give.Finally, I wish to tell you this: think about why you should do the things the ad suggests, or buy the product or service the ad promotes. When it comes to advertisements, we must all use our intelligence and not be a slave to them!23. M4U1. Project (1) —How do you build an ad campaignUnlike a single advertisement, an ad campaign is a planned programmed of advertisements using various kinds of ads to reach a certain audience. When you start a successful ad campaign, you must have a clear aim and an audience in mind.It is important to figure out exactly what you want to tell the audience andwhat you are trying to get them to do. In an ad campaign you may need to employ different kinds of media, including posters, newspapers, magazines, radio and television.There are three major questions you may first consider.1 Who is the audience for your ad campaignThe people you want to reach are your target audience. In order to determine your audience, you will need to do a little research and analysis in advance. You will need to explore what the audience already thinks. It is very important to know your audience so you can create the right message for the right people.2 What do you want your ad campaign to sayAfter you have decided who your audience is, it is time to decide what you want the audience to know or think about. It is important to always try to appeal to the audience in order to get them to react in a certain way. You can gather thisinformation from your research. Whenplanning a public welfare campaign, you may want to ask yourself:• What does my audience already know about this problem•What aspects of this problem would they care ab outor be concerned with• Is there some history behind the problem that they would be interested in• Howdoes the problem personally affect their lives3 How do you reach your audienceThere are lots of different ways to get your messageacross when you are putting together an ad campaign. You must decide what approach you want to use. This decision should depend mainly on your target audience and which kinds of ads reach that group best.24. M4U1. Project (2) —Anti-smoking ad campaignEvery year millions of people around the world die due to smoking. Every packet of cigarettes contains poisonous chemicals that can result in lung cancer and heart disease. This costs countries a lot of money and causes great damage to the welfare of the people. There are huge numbers of smokers in Asia. This is why we have chosen anti-smoking as the subject of our ad campaign.The target audience is high-school teenagers. Our main aim is to discourage young people from smoking. Our research shows that young people care about their health and future. We will educate them about the bad physical effects of smoking and how smoking affects those peoplearound them. We will explain all the advantages of not smoking, such as saving money which can then be spent on other things. Our interviews also indicate that young people are concerned about what is cool and what their friends like. Wewill show howsmoking is not cool or attractive, because it makespeople smell terrible, and gives them bad teeth, skin and fingernails. If we can convince young people not to start, they might then urge their parents and other people to give up smoking, too.Our campaign will start on 31 May, World No Tobacco Day. We will put large posters around the school with our logo andslogan. Our website will provide students with more information about smoking. We will also publish an article in the school magazine informing students about the dangers of smoking, and we will organize an essay competition as well.Our slogan: Smoking kills!Many people think that smoking is cool or enjoyable, but they are not only fully aware of the damagethat it does to their health. This is why we chose this picture as our logo. We want to shock people into realizing that many smokers die all too soon from illnesses and diseases related to smoking.25. M4U2. Reading —The Olympic GamesGood after, students and teachers. As a member of the International Olympic Committee, I am delighted to have been invited to your school to talk to you about the history and significa nce of the Olympic Games.I 'll share someinterestingfacts and stories with you, and then we 'll have time for question.Do you know when the ancient Olympic Games began It was in the year 776BC. They were held at Olympia in Greece every four years, for almost 12 centuries, until AD 394.Someof the sports from the ancient Olympic are still seen today, such as the long jump, wrestling and running. At the ancient Olympics, by tradition the athletes were all men and they had to compete wearing, no cloths. Single women were allowed to take part in their own competition, at a separate festival honour of Hera, the wife of the Greek god Zeus. Today, both male and female athletes form around the world can take part, no matter what nation they come from.The contemporary Olympics were first held in 1896, in Athens. It was a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who brought the Olympics back to life. He dreamt that the Olympics would make it possible for people of all countries to live side by side in peace. Now people all over the world are helping to realize this dream. Among them are many well-known athletes.Did you know that perhaps the most famous boxer of all time first came to public attention during the 1960 Rome Olympics He won the gold medal for the USA, under his birth nameCassius Clay. Afterwards, this young man went on to win the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship in 1964 and later change his name tothe one we all know, Muhammad Ali. He returned to the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996 to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony.Another sports star I would like to mention is Michael Jordan.Everyone knows of his success in the NBA, but do you know that he helped the USA basketball team win the gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics Jordan also returned to the Olympics after manyyears, but unlike MuhammaAdli, he was still competing for medals. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Jordan won his second Olympic gold medal as a member of the so- called 'Dream Team‘.Chinese athletes have also madeimportant contributions to the Olympic Games. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the People 's Republic of China returned to the Olympics after 32 years ' absence. I am sure the whole of China must have felt proud whenXu Haifeng won the first gold medal for his country. Deng Yaping, who wonfour Olympic gold medals in 1992 and 1996, is perhaps the greatest female table tennis player the world has ever seen. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang excited people all over Asia when he became the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men 's 110 -meters hurdles.The Chinese led the way at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, winning 51 gold medals. For the first time in history, the Chinese women'sgymnastics team won the gold medal. However, the athlete that some people remember most was Zhang Ning, a former badminton champion. At the age of 33, she medal in the final match.These are someof the Olympic athletes who have brought joy to people achievement. We are looking with their attempts to push the boundaries of humanOlympic Games. Join mein wishing the Olympic Movement a successful future to match its past glory.Thank you. Now, are there any questions26. M4U2. Project (1) —How does a sport enter the OlympicsEntering a sport into the Olympics can be a long progress. There are manyrequirements that must be met before a sport can be considered by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).First, a sport must have its own international association.Next, it must be practiced by men in at least 75 countries on at least four continents, or practiced by womenin at least 40 countries and on three continents. That 's not all. In orderfor a new sport to added, another sport must be dropped. This helps the IOC keep the Olympic budget under control.Which ones are outSomesports that were part of the Olympics in the past have been removed. These include familiar sports, such as baseball, as well as more unusual sports. Such as power boating. These sports were judged to have becomeless popular, and had to make way for new sports which are more popular.Which ones are inSomesports have been added, such as tae kwon do, which was first included in the Olympics in 2000. The IOC is planning to change someof the sports in the next few years. In 2016, rugby and golf, which were earlier played at the Olympics and then dropped, will be included again, as they are now very popular and are played all around the world.Which ones are still tryingWushu is still applying to get into the Olympics. The IOC has still not approved the sport due to the concern about the balance of sports ---there are already manyother sports in the Olympics that are connected changing the number and type of Olympic sports in the future, so wushu fans mayfinally get what they are hoping for.27. M4U2. Project (2) —Winning isn 't everythingIt was near the end of the football match, and neither team had scored. The captain of the Eagles passed the ball to a teammate, and then ran down near the Kangaroos ' goal. His teammate passed the ball back to him, but the shot was too high. The Eagle 's captain knocked the ball to the ground with his hand, and then kicked it and scored. The referee blew thewhistle; the match was over and the Eagles had won. Of course, the goal should not have counted. However, now it was too late.Later, a reporter asked the Eagles ' captain what had happened.‘Wewon, and that is all that matters. ' The captain said.The Kangaroos were out of the tournament while the Eagles continued on. However, with the referees now keeping a close watch on the Eagles, they struggled and lost their next match. Afterwards, they complained that the referees had been unfair.The Eagles went homeangry and bitter because they did not win the tournament. Meanwhile, the Kangaroos went home and trained harder than before.In the next tournament, the Kangaroos defeated the Eagles by ascore of 5 to 1. They went on to the final match against the Bears. The match was tied with minutes to go. The Kangaroos' captain was near the Bear's goal. A teammate passed the ball to him, and by accident it hit his hand. The Kangaroos' captain stopped the match and let the Bears have the ball. Within minutes, the Bears scores and won.Later, a reporter asked the Kangaroos ' captain what had happened.‘They won,' the captain said ‘T hey were the better team. 'The Kangaroos went homeproud that they had done their best. Manyof the kangaroos ' players becamefriends with the players on the Bears' team for the rest of their lives. In defeat, the Kangaroos found something more precious than victory —the found friendship, honour and respect.28. M4U3. Reading —Not just watching a filmRealCine —virtual reality for everyoneThis presentation will give you some information aboutRealCine: how it works,why it is better than a film, and how it can be used in other ways. The RealCine experience will amaze you, and you will agree that this is an extraordinary technology that deserves to be developed further.The technology behind RealCine is virtual reality (VR).Unlike a film, where a passive audience watches and hears what is happening on a screen, RealCine puts you into the action and connects with your senses of sight,hearing,smell and touch in an active way. Imagine that a VR user ‘goes' sightseeing inthe Himalayas. Not only will he or she feel every step of climbing Mount Qomolangma, but the user will also experience the cold, smells ,sights and sounds of the surrounding environment; he or she will enjoy a feeling of happiness and a sense of achievement upon reaching the top RealCine works by making the users feel that they are really in a newworld —a world that does not exist except in a computer program. To achieve this, special VR headsets are designed to allow the users to see in 3-D and hear the sound all around them. The movements of the headset indicate the direction in which the user wants to go. The user also wears special gloves so he or she can ‘touch ' the people and objects that he or she sees. To add to the virtual world of RealCine, the headsets even have small openings that give out smells to match theenvironment. Both the headsets and the gloves are connected to a computer network in the VR studio.In scientific studies it has been shown that VR can be a good treatment for people whohave social problems. In one case, a teenager who was afraid of talking and playing with his schoolmates was treated with VR. In the world created by RealCine, he becamethe captain of the Brazilian football team and scored the winning goal in a World Cup final. This encouraged him to become more confident around others.An argument has been put forward that some users will be disappointed by RealCine because VRis not real. However, with VRwe are able to do things that could never be achieved in real life. For example, with the aid of RealCine, a seventy-year-old grandfather recently took a trip to Africa. In reality, he is disabled and can no longer walk, but he was able to see and touch a lion while still in the convenience of the VR studio.Besides this ,VR can be used to practice skills in a secure environment that otherwise would be quite dangerous. For example, fire fighters could use RealCine to train safely, without the risk of getting injured in a burning building. It could be used in class as well. Teachers could bring history alive by placing students in an ancient town, or they could teach biology by allowing students to experience the world as a whale or a squirrel.Finally, RealCine provides fantastic technology for urban planning. Engineers can enter the design of a neighbourhood into a computer, andthen use VR to ‘walk ' around the neighbourhood, see how it looks and make changes before construction is carried out. This kind of urban planning is in the long term cheaper and more practical, compared with the way most urban planning is done today. I recommend the governmentuse this technology in the future planning of this city.29. M4U3. Project (1) —Journey to the Centre of the EarthIn 1863,professor Otto Lindenbrock found a secret message in an old book he had recently bought. The message spoke of a trip to the centre of the earth through a volcano in Iceland. Immediately , he got his things packed and went to Iceland, forcing his nephew Axel to go with him.In Iceland, the professor hired a guide named Hans. When the three of them reached the volcano, they journeyed underground through a small cave. After many days, they came to a vast room with a large ocean inside. On the shores of this ocean, there was a forest and huge mushrooms. High above, the sky was filled with gas that gave off light like the sun.The three men built a small boat and set sail. All of a sudden ,two dinosaurs rose to the surface and began to fight each other. The small boat was almost sunk by the dinosaurs before they were able to get away.They sailed to shore and explored the forest. They came acrosshuge insects and many strange creatures. As they were wandering around, they noticed a mansitting against a tree in the distance —he was at least four meters tall. The menbecame afraid, and ran back to theboat.They set sail again, and saw what looked like an exit, but it was blocked by rocks which had fallen down from the ceiling . They madea bombto blow up the rocks. After the bombexploded, their boat rushed wildly forward into a large hole. The boat floated down with the water. It was too fast for them to escape. They could only hold on to the boat in terror.Finally, they reached the bottom of the hole. Then the water began to push them up. They floated upwards for miles. The water rushed beneath them, pushing them out into the sunlight. They nowfound themselves in a volcano in Italy —their adventure was over, but a new one was about to begin.30. M4U3. Project (2) —The Time MachineHere is my time machine. This is where you sit, and with these two white handles, you can travel into the future or the past.I finished the machine just last week and decided to use it to see the future. As I pulled the handle, the world around me became foggy. Days and nights zipped by and everything changed before my eyes. Buildings and cities appeared and disappeared in a flash. Finally, I heard a loud thunder, and everything stopped. There was a city in front of me that appeared very old and worn.I was now in the year AD 802,701, and mankind had evolved into two races, the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi were small and like children. They lived above the ground and spent all of their time at play. Unlike the Elois, the Morlocks looked like white beasts. They lived underground, where they kept machine running so that the Eloi would be happy and well fed.At first, I thought that the Eloi had forced the Morlocks to do all the work so that the Eloi could play. However later I cameto see that I had the wrong impression: the Morlocks were the real masters. They took care of the Eloi because they lived by killing and eating them. The Morlocks even tried to catch and kill me, but luckily I was able to use the Time Machine to escape.I then travelled 30 million years into the future. I was nowon a beach with an ocean in front of me, but there wasneither wind nor waves, and there seemedto be little life. I went stillfurther into the future, and the sun grew larger, redder and darker, and the Earth became cold and covered in frost. Everything was still —there was no life or movement at all.As the world turned to complete darkness, I pulled the other handle, and found that myself back in my house in the present day. Only three hours had passed.。

M1U1S C H O O L l i f e i n t h e U KGoing to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me. I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3.30 p.m. This means I could get up an hour later than usual as schools in China begin before 8 a.m.On the first day, all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall. I sat next to a girl whose name is Diane. We soon became best friends. During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote oneself to study and achieve high grades. This sounded like my school in China.I had many teachers in the past year. Mr. Heywood , my class teacher, was very helpful. My favorite teacher was Miss Burke—I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature. In our class there were 28 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.I found the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school, but it was a bit challenging for me atfirs t because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I enjoyed all my subjects: English, History, English Literature, Computer Science, Maths, Science, PE, Art, Cooking and French.My English improved a lot as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library.I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break, so I could send e-mails to my family and friends back home for free. I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings. Cooking was really fun as I learned how to buy, prepare and cook food. At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something. I was glad that all my classmates were fond of the cake that I made.Students at that school have to study Maths, English and Science, but can stop studying some subjects if they don’t like them, for example, History and French. They can choose other subjects like Art and Computer Science or Languages such as Spanish and German. In the Art class that I took, I made a small sculpture. Though it didn’t look very beautiful when it was finished, I still liked it very much.I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating dessert at the end of their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school field. Sometimes I played football with the boys. Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.I was very lucky to experience this different way of life. I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction, and I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again.在英国的学校生活在英国上了一年的中学对我来说是一段非常令人愉快和兴奋的经历。

S1A Unit 1Body languageRead this story in a school newspaper. Debbie and Simon are college students. They have part-time jobs at a travel agency. They are sitting in the office.Debbie and Simon looked up as a well-dressed lady entered. The lady glanced at them both, then walk over to Debbie. Debbie greeted her cheerfully. The lady said, "I want to go by train to..."Simon sighed and took some papers over to the fax machine. Mr. Young, a senior employee, was standing there."What's up, Simon? You don't look very happy.""People always prefer Debbie to me. I can't understand it.""I can. It's the way you communicate.""How can that be?" Simon said, "I don't even get a chance to speak to them.""Communicating is more than speaking and listening. Your body language is important, too.""Body language?""It's the way you stand and sit. It's your gestures and the expression on your face and in your eyes. Your whole appearance communicates things. The way you look at people doesn't give them a good impression, Simon. You often rest your head on your hand. You look downwards. You never smile. You don't turn your head or body towards people."Look at Debbie. She's holding her head up. She looks at people's eyes. She smiles. Your body language is telling people to go away. Debbie's body language is making them feel welcome. That's why they go to her for assistant, and not to you."After that, Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat up and smiled at people. This seems to work. Minutes later, a very beautiful girl entered. She looked at Debbie and then Simon. Without hesitation she went to Simon and gave him a big smile. A few moments later, she left, still smiling.Mr. Young came over at once and remarked," You made a good impression on her.""That was my sister", said Simon." She wanted to remind me that tomorrow is her birthday."S1A Unit 1 More ReadingEye contactEye contact is a form of communication which you can mean different things in different cultures. Read this article about eye contact on a website.Throughout the history of mankind people have communicated with body language. In many situations, the way you say something is far more important than what you say.Eye contact is sometimes the key to communication. It can signal friendliness or hostility, interest or boredom, and understanding or confusion.In Western culture, maintaining eye contact in conversations is necessary. As a matter of fact, a Westerner might consider lack of eye contact as lack of attention or interest. In Spain, France, Italy and Greece, where people stand close together talking to each other, eye contact is more frequent and lasts longer.In many Asian cultures, avoiding eye contact shows respect. It is done when talking with anyone in authority or with anyone older.Habits like this can cause problems when people do not understand them. For instance, an Asian might close his eyes in concentration or look down while listening to a speaker. A Western speaker might think the man is not interested.Eye contact is a subtle thing. Avoiding eye contact might be considered impolite, but staring at others is also considered rude and should be avoided.S1A Unit 2Care for your hairA new hairdressing salon has opened near your home.

That will dry out your hair.S1A Unit 2 More readingBeing happy with your hairRead this article from a website that tells people how to take good care of their hair.Some people have a lot of hair while others have a little. Some people have no hair on the top of their head: they are bald. The important thing is--are you happy with the hair you have?Problem hair is often a result of an unhealthy diet and lifestyle.To ensure your hair looks best, pay attention to what you eat. Lack of protein and iron makes your hair less shiny. So, you need adequate amounts of green vegetables, fruits and daily products. Drink eight to ten glasses of water a day. This will help keep your hair from becomingdry. Avoid eating sweets or high-fat foods. They can slow hair growth.Stress in your life can also secretly rob your hair of its shiny beauty. Relaxing music and more rest are both remedies for stress.In addition, remember to rinse your hair thoroughly after you shampoo it. Brushing your hair regularly will help it grow. It will also make it look healthy. Do not rub your hair too quickly when you dry it. It could damage your hair.Last, be sure to be sure to choose the right hair products.

You can, at an Imax Dome Theatre like the one at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. The screen at these theatres surrounds the audience. As the sound system has 44 speakers behind the screen, the sound seems very real. Many of the films shown at these theatres are nature films.You can achieve a similar effect in your own sitting room with a home entertainment system. A home entertainment system uses a wide, flat-screen TV. Often, this is suspended on the wall like a picture. Stereo speakers are arranged round the viewers. Digital technology makes both the picture and the sound clear.For music lovers, there is always MP3. Since MP3 players were introduced in 1997, people have taken them everywhere. An MP3 player uses digital technology to record and play music. Most MP3 players are smaller than cigarette lighters. They can record hundreds of hours of music. With an MP3 player, you can listen to high-quality music while you are doing nearly anything. You no longer have to carry CDs or cassettes with you.S1A Unit 5Very vegetarianSally: For lunch, I think I'll have a mixed grill—steak, pork chops, chicken and sausages.Does that sound good to you?'Sam: Sounds horrible. I'm having a salad. No more bits of dead animals for me. I've become a vegetarian—a person who does not eat meat.Sally: Since when?Sam: Since I saw this programme on TV.Sally: You're always influenced by these programmes. Last month, you saw a programme on space and so you wanted to become an astronaut. What did you see this time? Sam: A programme on the meat industry. You shouldn’t eat meat, you know. The animals you eat had to spend their lives crowded together in tiny spaces. Then theywere killed.Sally: Poor animals! Oh, here’s my mixed grill!Sam: Animals kept this way can easily get sick, so they have to be given drugs. These drugs may still be in the meat when you eat it. It may be dangerous. Sally? Are youlistening to me?Sally: Yes. Please continue. By the way, can you pass the pepper?Sam: You did not have to eat that! You ought to eat some salad instead. We should use land to grow food for people instead of cattle. Then there’d be no more hungrypeople in the world.Sally: You will never make me lose my appetite for meat. I need meat because it containsvitamins and minerals not found in vegetables. Vegetables can also be dangerous,you know. Lots of people are made ill because of the pesticides the farmers use onthem. Some vegetables even..Sam: I don’t want to hear this. Let’s change the subject.Sally: OK. Do you know where I can buy some…S1A Unit 5 More readingNeither too little, nor too muchWhat kind of diet is right for you? Read this short article on diet and health in a leaflet from a hospital to find out.Many people believe that sugar is not healthy for you. Other say that sugar is the best source of energy. Some people eat meat while others are vegetarians. Who is right? What's your opinion?The importance of having a variety of food in one's diet is quit clear. Scientists advise a balanced diet. A balanced diet is one with food from each of the five food groups: whole grains or wheat, vegetables, fruit, milk and dairy products, and meat and beans. Scientists warm us that a lack of certain kinds of food is dangerous, especially for children. Children's bodies cannot grow properly without a balanced diet. On the other hand, having too much of anything, including one's favorite food, is equally dangerous. They say, for example, people who eat lots cheeseburgers and milkshakes will increase their risk of heart attacks.Therefore, we cannot decide what to eat without first doing intelligent research .Scientific information about the bodies needs for fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins can also help us decide on the right choice and the right amount. It can also help us tell facts from wrong opinions.S1A Unit 6The changing colours of our cropsRead this newspaper article about Sunqiao Modern Agricultural Development of Zone in Shanghai.Recently, agriculture has become more colourful. ‘Green agriculture’ means traditional farming that grows plants in soil. ‘Blue agriculture’ farms fish or water plant s in natural sources of water such as oceans or lakes. The newest of the colours is ‘white agriculture.’ It is practised at Sunqiao Modern Agricultural Development Zone in Shanghai.With white agriculture, plants are grown in water. Sometimes sand or small stones are used to help hold up the plants. However, soil is not used. The plants are nourished only by a mixture of water and fertilizer. White agriculture is useful for places with poor soil quality since it makes the best use of both water and fertilizer.Sunqiao is both an experimental research facility and a business enterprise. The research involves making green agriculture more profitable and finding farming techniques which do not use man-made chemicals. It also produces seeds which help famers grow better crops. However, the most unusual aspect of Sunqiao is their research on white agriculture.Through this new technology, Sunqiao Modern Agricultural Development Zone has proved to be one of the fastest developing areas in China. Seeds and new varieties of plants from Sunqiao have brought economic benefits to more than 16,000 farming families. The farmers that it has helped now have bigger and better harvests. Their lives have been changed forever.People who live in cities used to regard farming as boring and backward. However, theintroduction of modern technology has made Sunqiao famous. Every week, about 5,000 people visit Sunqiao. They appear amazed to see the vegetables which Sunqiao grows without using soil. Farming has become exciting and high-tech. This is a place where technology and nature work well together.S1A Unit 6 More ReadingBalancing world dietsHow are Western and Asian diets different? Look at this article from a magazine about new trends to find out.Today, in Western countries, weight problems, heart disease and many forms of cancer are becoming more common. In Asia, such kinds of health problems are not as common as in Western countries. Asians appear to live longer as well. Their diets might account for these differences.Asian diets generally have less meat and fewer dairy products. Eggs and chicken are eaten only a few times a week. Sweet food is eaten only in moderation. In contrast to Westerners, Asians eat much rice or noodles. Leafy vegetables like cabbage are on the menu of most Asian meals. Fresh fruit is eaten many times a day. Soya products are often used in cooking. Eating such a variety of food helps Asian people stay healthy. The methods of preparing meals are also different. Vegetable oils are commonly used in Asian cooking. In comparison, butter is used more often in Western cooking.However, fast-food restaurants and Western-style eating patterns have become more common in Asia. This leaves fewer differences between Western and Asian diets. Asians whose diets are like westerners experience more disease and weight problems. Fortunately, many Asians who are aware of this development are paying closer attention to their diets than ever before.。

译林牛津版高一英语必修4Unit2TheOlympicGames电子文本、课文注释及翻译
语篇翻译（一）课文注释Unit 2 ReadingThe Olympic GamesGood afternoon, students and teachers. As a member of the International Olympic Committee, Iam delighted to①have been invited to your school to talk to you about the history and significance②of the Olympic Games. I'll share some interesting facts and stories with you, and then we'll have time for questions.Do you know when the ancient Olympic Games began? It was in the year 776 BC. They were held at Olympia in Greece every four years③, for almost 12 centuries, until AD 394.Some of the sports from the ancient Olympics are still seen today, such as the long jump, wrestling and running. At the ancient Olympics, by tradition④the athletes were all men and they had to compete wearing no clothes. Single women were allowed to take part in⑤their own competition⑥, at a separate festival in honour of Hera, the wife of the Greek god Zeus. Today, both male and female athletes from around the world can take part, no matter what nation they come from.The contemporary⑦Olympics were first held in 1896, in Athens. It was a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who brought the Olympics back to life⑧. He dreamt that the Olympics would make it possible for people of all countries to live side by side⑨in peace⑩. Now people all over the world are helping to realize this dream?. Among them are many well-known athletes.Did you know that perhaps the most famous boxer of all time first came to public attention? during the 1960 Rome Olympics? He won the gold medal for the USA, under his birth name Cassius Clay. Afterwards, this young man went on?to win the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship in 1964 and later changed his name to the one we all know, Muhammad Ali. He returned to the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996 to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony?.Another sports star I would like to mention is Michael Jordan. Everyone knows of?his success in the NBA, but do you know that he helped the USA basketball team win the gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics? Jordan also returned to the Olympics after many years, but unlike Muhammad Ali, he was still competing for? medals. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Jordan won his second Olympic gold medal as a member of the so-called 'Dream Team'.Chinese athletes have also made important contributions? to the Olympic Games. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the People's Republic of China returned to the Olympics after 32 years' absence?. I am sure the whole of China must have felt proud when Xu Haifeng won the firstgold medal for his country. Deng Yaping, who won four Olympic gold medals in 1992 and 1996,is perhaps the greatest female table tennis player the world has ever seen. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang excited? people all over Asia when he became the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men's 110-metre hurdles.The Chinese led the way?at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, winning 51 gold medals. For the first time in history, the Chinese women's gymnastics team won the gold medal. However, the athlete that some people remember most was Zhang Ning, a former badminton champion. At the age of 33, she was much older than the other players. Yet, she hung on○21to win the gold medal in the final match.These are some of the Olympic athletes who have brought joy to people across the world with their attempts ○24 22to push○23the boundaries of human achievement. We are looking forward to○seeing more of them in future Olympic Games. Join me in wishing the Olympic Movement a successful future to match○25its past glory○26. Thank you. Now, are there any questions?课文注释①be delighted to do/to have done : 高兴去做某事/ 高兴做过某事②significance n. 意义；重要性be of significance =be significant③every four years每四年④by tradition照传统⑤take part in参加，参与⑥competition n. 竞争；比赛，竞赛compete vi. 竞争；比赛；对抗competitive adj. 竞争的；比赛的⑦contemporary n. 同时代的人；同时期的东西adj. 当代的；同时代的；属于同一时期的⑧bring…back to life 使复活⑨side by side并肩；一起；并排⑩in peace和平地；安静，宁静；安祥地s dream 实现梦想?realize one’?come to public attention引起公众关注?go on to do 继续做另一件事go on doing sth 继续做同一件事?at the opening ceremony在开幕式上; 在开幕典礼上?know of知道，了解…；听说过…?compete for为…竞争；为…比赛?made contributions to 为…做贡献?absence n. 没有；缺乏；缺席；不注意adj. 缺席的；缺少的；心不在焉的；茫然的be absent fromvt. 使缺席absent oneself from?excite vt. 激起；刺激…，使…兴奋excited adj. 兴奋的；激动的exciting adj. 令人兴奋的/激动的?lead the way 领先；带路○21hang on坚持下去；不挂断；握住不放to do 尝试做某事○22with one’s attempt○23push vt. 推动，增加；对…施加压力，逼迫；按；说服vi. 推进；增加；努力争取n. 推，决心；大规模攻势；矢志的追求○24look forward to (doing) sth 盼望/期待做某事○25match vt. 使比赛；使相配；敌得过，比得上；相配；与…竞争vi. 比赛；匹配；相配，相称；相比n. 比赛，竞赛；匹配；对手；火柴○26glory n. 光荣，荣誉；赞颂课文译文奥林匹克运动会老师们，同学们，下午好。

They are sitting in the office.Student stories The City School TimesDebby and Simon looked up as a well-dressed lady entered. The lady glanced at them both, then walked over to Debby. Debby greeted her cheerfully.The lady said, ‘I want to go by train to…’Simon sighed and took some papers over to the fax machine. Mr. Young, a senior employee, was standing there.‘What’s up, Simon You don’t look very happy.’‘People always prefer Debby to me. I can’t understand it.’‘I can. It’s the way you communicate.’‘How can that be’ Simon said. ‘I don’t even get a chance to speak to them.’‘Communicating is more than speaking and listening. Your body language is important, too.’‘Body language’‘It’s the way you stand and sit. It’s your gestures and the expression on your face and in your eyes. Your whole appearance communicates things. The way you look at people doesn’t give them a good impression, Simon. You often rest your head on your hand. You look downwards. You never smile. You don’t turn your head or body towards people.’‘Look at Debby. She’s holding her head up, she looks at people’s eyes. She smiles. Your body language is telling people to go away. Debby’s body language is making them feel welcome. That’s why they go to her for assistance, and not to you.’After that, Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat up and smiled at people. This seemed to work. Minutes later, a very beautiful girl entered. She looked at Debby and then Simon. Without hesitation she went to Simon and gave him a big smile. A few moments later, she left, still smiling.Mr. Young came over at once and remarked, ‘You made a good impression on her.’‘That was my sister’, said Simon, “She wanted to remind me that tomorrow is her birthday.’More readingEye contactEye contact is a form of communication which can mean different things in different cultures. Read this article about eye contact on a website.Throughout the history of mankind, people have communicated with body language. In many situations, the way you say something is far more important than what you say. Eye contact is sometimes the key to communication. It can signal friendliness or hostility, interest or boredom, and understanding or confusion.In western cultures, maintaining eye contact in conversations is necessary. As a matter of fact, a westerner might consider a lack of eye contact as a lack of interest. In Spain, Italy and Greece, where people stand close together talking to each other, eye contact is more frequent and lasts longer.In many Asian cultures, avoiding eye contact shows respect. It is done when talking with anyone in authority or with anyone older.Habits like this can cause problems when people do not understand them. For instance, an Asian might close his eyes in concentration or look down while listening to a speaker. A western speaker might think the man is not interested.Eye contact is a subtle thing. Avoiding eye contact might be considered impolite, but staring at others is also considered rude and should be avoided.U1well-dressed 穿着讲究的 adjglance 匆匆一看 vsigh 叹气；叹息 vsenior 级别高的 adjemployee 职员 nprefer 宁可；更喜欢 v琳琳喜欢流行音乐胜过古典音乐.(prefer … to …)communicate 交流 v当你难以和父母交流时会感到痛苦吗(when) 10年春季高考gesture 手势 nexpression 表情 nappearance 外貌 nimpression 印象 n他在昨天的比赛中的表现给每个球迷留下了深刻的印象。

It is great because it is run by the students for the school. I am lucky as I am one of the hosts.It was started two years ago. One day; I just began thinking about music for everyone; so I asked the headmaster if music could be played during break times. He approved the idea; and two years later I am in charge of the radio club as the oldest student member. Our club is much more than just music. Every morning we tell our schoolmates about the weather; recent news; and some special messages that the teachers want us to broadcast.During exam time we have a special programme that tells students the things they should do for preparation. At the end of the school year; many students who are graduating use our club to give messages to their close friends and teachers.When parents come to visit the school and talk to the teachers; we often play songs sung by students; and we also give messages to inform the parents of events such as outings and school plays.I shall miss the radio club after graduation; but I know that it will continue without me. Kate JonesOur school club ‘Poets of the Next Generation’ is aliterary club that was started by our English teacher Mr. Owen. We meet on the last Friday of every month to talk about poems and poets that we like. In the club meetings; we first select poems that we love; and then read them aloud. We also discuss poems in our meetings.When I attended the first meeting; I was required to write a poem and I had to read it to the club. I was a little nervous at first; but everyone was so nice and friendly that I soon stopped worrying. I once read a poem about nature in the school courtyard. I chose an old tree and gathered everyone under it before I read. The club members said it was one of the best compositions they had heard.

Home aloneAct oneMom and Dad arrive back from vacation a day earlier than expected. The curtains are closed and the living room is dark when Mom and Dad enter.Dad: It’s so nice to be home!Mom: Yes, I can’t wait to surprise the boys!Suddenly a door opens and a soccer ball flies through the room. Eric runs in after it, followed by a big dog, walking very slowly.Eric: Mom! Dad! You’re back early! (looking around room, sounding frightened) But, but--- you weren’t supposed to come home until tomorrow!The dog slowly walks to Mom and Dad.Mom: (Bending to touch dog) Eric, he’s so tired and hungry! (looking at table) The money for dog food is gone, but Spot looks like he is starving! What did you do with the cash we left?Dad: And look at this room— garbage all over the place! Where is your brother? (shouting angrily) Daniel!Daniel: (running into room) Mom, Dad, I can explain---Dad opens the curtains and light comes into the room. The room is in a mess, with pizza boxes on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink. In the corner, there is a garbage can around which are pieces of garbage and waste paper.Mom and Dad both turn towards Daniel. Dad: (sounding very angry) listen to me, young man----we left you in charge? We thought you could act like an adult! I don’t know the reason why the house is so dirty---Mom: Daniel, we thought you were an adult, a person from whom we could expect good decisions.Dad: How can we trust you any more? We won’t tolerate such behavior in our house!Daniel: ( shouting) Stop shou ting at me. I’m still a teenager! Why is everything always my fault? Daniel runs into his bedroom and slams the door. Mom and Dad look at each other as lights go out.Act two, scene oneDaniel and Eric’s bedroom. Eric sits on his bed. Daniel has his arms c rossed and looks upset. Daniel: They never even gave me a chance to explain. I hate them!Eric: You don’t hate them. I can tell them we had an emergency. Then they won’t be mad anymore.Daniel: No, don’t tell them anything. Anyhow they didn’t trust me. They don’t deserve an explanation. Let them think what they want.Eric: But Daniel, if they knew that Spot was sick and we used the money to take him to the clinic---Daniel: And that we spent all of yesterday waiting there for him and that is why we had no time to clean the house --- but no, Eric, why didn’t they ask me what happened instead of shouting at me?Act two, scene twoMom: Do you think we were too hard on Daniel? Perhaps there is a reason why the house is a mess…Dad: Maybe, but now that he has been so rude to us, I feel like we have to punish him or hewon’t respect us.Mom: Oh, why does this have to be so difficult?Mom sighEnd of act two.Growing painsMany teenagers feel lonely, as if no one understands them and the changes they are going through. Day by day, everything seems different, yet the same. Life never seems to be going fast enough; yet, in other ways, like a race car, life seems to be rushing too fast and even going out of control. Has anyone else ever felt this way?These feelings are a common part of adolescence—the time of life between child and adult. And, though it may some times be difficult to believe, you are not alone—every adult has gone through adolescence, and your friends are going through it right now along with you. It is common for teenagers to feel lonely and misunderstood. These feelings can be thought of as growing pains—the difficulties that teenagers face as they grow to adults.As teenagers grow, it is normal for them to become confused with the changing world both inside and outside of them. During adolescence, teenagers go through great physical changes. They grow taller and their voices get deeper, among many other developments.Along with these physical changes, there come many psychological changes. Boys and girls tend to be different in this regard. Many boys become risk-takers—they want to find their own limits and the limits of the world around them, but may not have the wisdom to make good choices in their behavior. At the same time, girls often want someone—anyone—to talk to, as they try to deal with their strong feelings.In the social world, as teenagers get older, they struggle to depend on themselves. They may badly want and need their parents’ love, yet feel distant; they may want to be part of the group, yet desire independence. Since teenagers have difficulty balancing these needs, they often question who they are and how they fit in society.The good news is that these kinds of growing pains do not last. In the end everything turns out OK—the teenager becomes a healthy adult, and this period of change and challenge is traded for the changes and challenges of grown-up life.。
