7. M2U1. Reading—Boy missing, police puzzledPolice in America have stepped up their search for a fifteen-year-old boy who went missing three days ago in Dover, New Hampshire. This incident has received great interest due to reports of strange lights in the sky and of alien visits around the time the boy disappeared.Justin Foster, a high school student, was last seen Friday night. That evening at 8 . Justin went to play baseball with two friends, who both say Justin went home after the game. Witnesses also say they saw Justin walking towards his house at . Justin 's sister, Kelly, aged nine, says she heard her brother return home at about 11 .‘I was getting ready for bed, ' Kelly said. 'Justin went straight to his room. I didn't see him, but I heard him put on his favorite CD. I went to bed, and was woken up around midnight by a bright light outside my window.'At first, the young girl thought it was the light of the full moon, but then she realized that it was moving and coming closer.'I pulled back the curtains and saw a large spaceship flying outside. It had blue lights all around it, and there were many windows. Standing inside were lots of strange creatures withwhite skin and large black eyes. I was frightened!' Kelly said that the spaceship then moved around to the side of the house, towards her brother's bedroom.' There was a flash of light and I heard Justin shout, and then the UFO just disappeared. I haven't seen Justin since. I'm sure the aliens took him.'Kelly then ran and woke up her mother. However, since Mrs Foster thought that Justin was spending the night with a friend, she assumed that Kelly was having a bad dream, and sent her back to bed. Mrs Foster was working that night on his road construction job, and was not home when these events occurred. When Justin did not show up for lunch the next day, Mrs Foster became worried and told her husband to call the police.Some people in Dover also say that they saw aliens that night. 'It's happened to me!' said Mrs Mavis Wood. 'The aliens took me aboard the UFO so that they could do research on me. Luckily, they returned me home without any injuries. The whole experience was terrible! I haven't been sleeping well since I returned home. I think Justin was taken away by them, too.' When asked about the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens, Detective Sam Peterson, who has taken charge of the case, told journalists, ' Sometimes people make up such amazingstories. There's really no hard evidence that aliens took him. So, while we have not dismissed the idea, we are looking into other possibilities as well. We will not give up until we find out what happened.'8. M2U1. Project—Yeti, Bigfoot and the Wild Man of ShennongjiaFor centuries, people have reported seeing a wild creature in the Himalayas called Yeti. The Yeti is said to be a large, hairy animal that walks an two feet like a human being. People believe that Yetis sometimes come down from the mountains to attack villagers.In 1998, an American mountain climber said that he saw a Yeti on the Chinese side of the Himalayas. 'It walked like a human, but it had thick black fur and was about six feet tall with huge shoulders, very long arms and large hands, 'he said.In 2007, an American TV team saw Yeti tracks 33 centimetres in length in the snow near Mount Qomolangma. They made copies of these tracks and had them examined by a scientist in the USA. He reported that they looked like the tracks of a similar creature, called Bigfoot, which some people believe lives in the forests of the north-west of the USA.Yeti and Bigfoot are similar to a creature known as the Wild Man of Shennongjia. There have been dozens of reports that people have seen a Wild Man in the Shennongjia Nature Reserve in western Hubei Province, China. In one case, a group of engineers ran after the creature, which moved with amazing speed and strength. Large tracks have also been discovered which some people say belong to the Wild Man. Because of these reports and the tracks, there have been several organized searches for this creature, but no strong evidence for existence has ever been found.Dr Grover Krantz, a scientist from Washington State University, studied reports of such strange creatures for many years. He became convinced they exist .He believed that these creatures are linked to a common ancestor, an animal that lived in Asia some 300,000 years ago. In his opinion, this animal made its way to other parts of the world, and continues to survive even today.Scientists hope that the mystery will be solved one day. If such creatures really exist, we might have the chance to see one with our own eyes.9. M2U2. Reading— An adventure in Africa30 JuneDear AihuaHow are you going？Sorry I haven’t written for so long. I’ve been quite busy arranging my holiday with my older brother, Colin. Colin and I plan to spend a few weeks travelling before he goes to university. We’re going to visit so many exciting places and do lots of extraordinary things. We will go to Africa first. I can’t wait! Have you ever been there?We leave London on 15 July, and we’ll be taking a flight to Morocco, in northern Africa. We’re going to ride camels through the Sahara Desert. It’s the biggest desert in the world—about the size of the US! I expect it will be very hot, dry and dusty there. We’ll be travellin g by camel with local guides, camping in tents and sleeping on the ground. I’ve heard that, in the Sahara, there is no shade during the day, and the stars seem especially brilliant on clear nights. I’ll bring a flashlight with me so that I’ll be able to se e in the dark. Altogether, the trip will take six days. That means I’ll have to sit on a camel for almost a week—how uncomfortable! I hope my camel likes me!After the trip by camel, we’re going to travel down the River Nile. We’ll start at Lake Victoria. A little way downthe river from Lake Victoria, the water gets quite rough. So, we’ll go white-water rafting. It’s quite dangerous, but very exciting! You have to wear a helmet and a life jacket for protection, just in case you fall into the water.Then, w e’re going on a trip to see wild animals in Kenya. We’ll live with the local people in their villages, and eat and drink whatever they do, including cow’s blood! Do you think I should drink it?Since we’ll be walking for almost two weeks, I’ll need to buy a large backpack in advance to carry my supplies of food and water. During the day, we’ll walk across the land, following the tracks of wildlife such as elephants, lions and giraffes. We’ll try to get as close as possible to the animals, even though they’r e dangerous, so that we can take some really good photographs. But don’t worry about me. Our guides will have guns with them for defiance—they can use the guns to scare the animals away if they come too near. I really want to see an elephant up close, and Colin wants to see a giraffe.After that, we’ll be moving on to Tanzania, where we’re going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Mountain climbing can be very tiring, and many people feel sick as the atmosphere gets thinner, so Colin and I will make sure that we will get plenty of rest.The African part of our trip will take about four weeks. Afterwards, we’re going to the Himalayas.I’ll send you postcards from all the different places we visit!LoveToby10. M2U2. Project—Shangri-laWould you like the chance to discover a place of mystery and beauty in the south-west of China? If your answer is ‘yes’, consider a trip to Shangri-la !How to get thereStart in the city of Dali and drive north along the Yunnan-Tibet Highway until you reach Zhongdian (Shangri-la), the capital of Diqing. Zhongdian is 659 kilometers away from Kunming, and there are regular flights between the two cities.The world-famous Chinese Shangri-laThe word ‘Shangri-la’ first appeared in a classic novel by James Hilton. Today, Shangri-la has become a common English word meaning heaven on earth. Hilton described a beautiful kingdom where three rivers joined together, steep mountainsreached to the sky, and fields of long grass covered the earth. In this perfect world lived people who had discovered how to stay young forever.Which place could officially take the name of this wonderful land? There were arguments over which tourist spot would win the name of Shangri-la. Many years after the book was published, some people realized that the Shangri-la of the novel was a perfect match for Zhongdian in Yunnan Province, China. In September 1997, the government of Yunnan province announced that Zhongdian was the Shangri-la of Hilton’s story.What you will see in Shangri-laThree mountains, Meili, Baimang and Haba, which are covered with snow, tower over the land. Their snowy mountaintops form a beautiful picture that will leave you at a loss for wordsBelow the mountains, the sunshine reflects on the many lakes, making them shine like diamonds against the rich countryside. Sheep, cattle and horses wander on the green grass, and the surrounding forests are home to many birds and animals. In this peaceful land, people live in perfect harmony with nature, far away from the noise and worry of the outside world.Nature has provided Shangri-la with endless natural treasures, making the land a happy home for the local people.What the weather is likeThe weather changes so quickly that people say you can experience four seasons in one day. The best times to visit Shangri-la are spring and autumn when the temperature is at its mildest.11. M2U3. Reading—The curse of the mummyHoward Carter is one of the most famous explorers the world has ever known. He was brave and loved to visit and explore new places. During his life, he discovered many amazing things.Howard Carter did not go to school, but learnt to draw from his father, who was an artist. He was bright and curious about the world outside his home town. In 1891, at the age of 17, he set sail for Alexandria, Egypt. By the 1920s, he had become an explorer, searching for the tombs of the Egyptian kings. He found several important ones. Inside the tombs, he discovered a great fortune in jewels and gold, along with the preserved bodies of dead kings. These preserved bodies are known as mummies.In 1922, Howard Carter made his most amazing discovery of all, in the Valley of the Kings, in Egypt. He had received moneyfrom Lord Carnarvon, a British man who was very interested in Egypt. Carter’s team was working at a p lace near the city of Luxor. There, they came across the tomb of King Tutankhamun. It was the most important tomb that had ever been found. ‘The tomb contained more treasure than any of us had ever seen before, as well as the mummy of the king,’ said Carter. ‘After we looked into the tomb, we closed it and hid its entrance. We wanted to study the tomb later when we had more time. Afterwards, all of its contents would go into a museum.’However, not long after the discovery, people in Carter’s team began to fall ill and die. Upon their entering the tomb, Carter’s lucky pet bird, which he had left in Cairo, was awallowed by a snake. Then, a few months after Carter had opened the tomb, Lord Carnarvon, who was also present when the tomb was opened, fell ill with a fever and died in Egypt. At the moment of Carnarnon’s death, the lights went out in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Back in England, his dog died at approximately the same time.George Gould, a friend of Carnarvon’s, went to Egypt after hearing of his strange death. He too visited the tomb, only to catch a high fever the next day. Twelve hours later, he was dead. Carter’s secretary, Richard Bethell, died of heart troublefour months after the tomb was opened. Arthur Mace, another member of the team, also died shortly after the discovery.Within seven years, 21 people who had something to do with the opening of the tomb died. Howard Carter, however, lived on until the age of 65. Some people say the deaths were just coincidence. Others believe that they were in connection with a mummy’s curse, as a punishment for those who enter the resting place of the dead.However, still others believe that there is a scientific explanation. Inside the tombs, there are many viruses. When a tomb is opened, fresh air disturbs the viruses. If breathed in, they can result in illness or even death. Today, when scientists examine mummies, they wear special clothing for protection.What is certain, though, is that ‘the curse of the mummy’ remains a riddle to this day.12. M2U3. Project—Explorer (16 October 2003)What is the most fun you can have in 21 hours and 23 minutes? On 15 October 2003, Yang Liwei answered this question. His voyage in space took him 600,000 kilometres in orbit, around the Earth 14 times, in just over 21 hou rs. It made him China’sfirst astronaut in space. He had worked towards this achievement for many years.Born in 1965, Yang had wanted to fly since he was a young boy. His friends and teachers from Suizhong in the north-east of Liaoning Province have all said that he loved science and technology from a young age. He always had a strong desire to learn how to fly. His dream was encouraged by his parents as well as his older sister and younger brother.In 1983, he joined the army, and went to flight school. He graduated in 1987 and became a pilot. In 1998, he applied to be a member of Project 921, which is now called shenzhou. He was one of the only 14 selected from 1,500 candidates. The team spent the next five years being trained. They not only studied all the subjects required to be an astronaut, but also learnt survival skills and all about how spaceships and rockets are built. Yang scored among the very top in everything the group studied.In September 2003, only three out of the 14 candidates were picked for the Chinese space adventure, and Yang was one of them. He took all kinds of tests to prove he was fit for this important task. Although Yang did not get the best scores on every single test, it was his high scores on the psychologicaltests that finally won him the status of China's first astronaut. Yang was described by his superiors as hard-working and always in control of himself. Because of these qualities, they were optimistic he would be successful.In the end, Yang was indeed a success. His name will go down in history with those of Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard. The people of China can be proud of Yang Liwei, and young people all over the world can look up to him as an example of a man who managed to live his dream.。

牛津高中英语模块1、2Reading课文

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 hours starts around 9 am. and ends about 3:30 pm. 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 was Dianna. We soon became best friends. During the assembly, the headmaster told us the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades. This sounded like my school in China.I had many teachers in the past year. Mr Hevwood, my class teacher, was very helpful. My favorite teacher was miss Burke一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 that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. However, it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky, as all my teacher gave me much encouragement and I enjoy all my subjects: English, history, English literature, computer science, maths, science, PE, 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 lunch break, so I could send emails to my family and friends back home for free. Ialso had an extra French class on Tuesday evening. Cooking was really fun as learnt how to buy, prepare and cook food. At the end of the class 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 do not like them. For example, history and French. They can choose other subjects such 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 did not look very beautiful when it was finished. I still like 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. 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 is so nice to be home!Mom: Yes, I can not 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 are back early!(looking around room,sounding frightened) But ,but…you were not supposed to comehome until tomorrow!The dog slowly walks to Mom and Dad.Mom:(bending to touch dog)Eric, he is so tired and hungry!(looking at table)The money with which you were to buy dog food is gone, but Spot looks so hungry! What did you do with the money 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 explainDad open 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. In the corner there is a garbage can around which are pieces of garbage and waste paper.Mum and dad turn towards Daniel.Dad: (sound very angry) listen to me, young man – we left you in charge! We thought you could act like a adult, but look at the mess! I don’t know why the house is so dirtyMom: Daniel, we thought you were an adult, a person who would make good decisionsDad: how can we trust you any more? We wont tolerate such behavior in our house!Daniel: (shouting) stop shouting at me, I’m still a teenager! Why is everything always my fault?Daniel runs into his bed room and shuts the door angrily. Mom and dad look at each other as lights go out.End of act oneAct two scene one .Daniel and erics bedroom. Eric sits on his bed. Daniel has his arms crossed and looks upset.Daniel: they never ever gave me a chance to defend myself. I hate them!Eric : you don’t hate them. I can tell them we had an emergency. Then they wont be mad any more.Daniel: no, don’t tell them anything. Anyhow ,they don’t trust me. They don’t deserve and explanation. Let them think what they want .Eric: but daneil, if hey knew that spot was sick and we use the money to take him to the clinicDaniel : and that we spent all of yesterday waiting 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 twoMon: 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 that we had to punish his or he wont respect us.Mom: oh, why does this have to be so difficult?Mom sighs.Dying to be thinHi Zhou LingHow are you? I haven’t heard from you for weeks. Is everything OK with you?Do you still go to the gym every day? I used to go to the gym three times a week, but I don’t work out any more. I know another way to stay sli m. Looking good is important to women, isn’t it? Most young women want a slim figure these days, especially here in Canada. I’m trying to lose weight because I’m so ashamed of my body. Since I’m preparing to act in a new TV show, I’m taking weight-lose pills called Fat-Less, which are quite popular among young women here. I hope to lose at least 10 kilograms. I take two pills a day and don’t need to exercise.The pills really work! I’m becoming slimmer and slimmer. I’ve lost 7 kilograms in the last two mont hs. However, I don’t feel so energetic. My mother, who you met last year, keeps telling me not to take them because they are dangerous. She says health is the most important thing, and I agree, but then I look so slim at the moment.Write soon!LoveAmyDear Zhou LingThings change so quickly! I’m now in hospital recovering from liver failure. I regret taking these weight-lose pills. They contain a harmful chemical that caused my liver to fail. The pills were going to completely destroy my liver if I continued taking them. My mother insisted on sending me to the hospital, where I received good medical treatment.It was a really painful experience, but I’m feeling better now. I follow my doctor’s advice and exercise for at least half an hour every day (but I seldom go to the gym!), and eat lots of fruit and vegetables. People should look after their bodies. My mother is right: don’t damage your health for a slim and attractive figure. It isn’t worth it.We shouldn’t be ashamed of the way we look, should we?I hope to hear from you soon.LoveAmyDear AmyMy computer was broken so I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today. I’m so sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and recovering. You’re right. We shouldn’t be embarrassed abou t our weight. I think you look great as you are, and you’re a wonderful person. I know that the pressure to stay slim is a problem, especially for an actress. However, your mother knows best: nothing is more important than health.It’s the same in China-many people, some of whom are not overweight at all, are always going on a diet or take weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. I hope they can learn from your story.LoveZhou LingBoy missing, police puzzledPolice in America have stepped up their search for a fifteen-year-old boy who went missing three days ago in Dover, New Hampshire. This interest has received great interest due to reports of alien visit around the time the boy disappointed.Justin Foster，a high school student，was last seen Friday night.

牛津高中英语模块 2 课文翻译Unit 1Reading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。

For example, history and French. They can choose other subjects such 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 did not look very beautiful when it was finished. I still like it very much.I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different.
