Unit 1 A new startPassage 1My first day at senior highAfter I had pictured it over and over again in my mind, the big day finally arrived: my first day at senior high! I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to get to know my new school.The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “New here?” Turning around, I saw an older man. "Yes," I replied. “I’m wondering what life is going to be like here. " "Don't worry,” he gave me a smile. "You'll soon find out.”How true these words were! When my English teacher stepped into the classroom, I was surprised to see the same older man I had met earlier.“Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I'll go first…”“What?!" I tried to turn on my brain but the engine just wouldn't start. “I should say my name, of course. But what else? What could I say to make a good first impression? Something about my insect collection, perhaps. “I was organising my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge. “It' s your turn!”With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. “Hi, I’m Meng Hao.” Everyone started laughing.I looked at them in panic. Nice to know we share the same name,” said my new teacher. I had been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed, his words made me a lot more relaxed!When we had all introduced ourselves, Mr Meng said, “ Well done, everyone! I know this isn't easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face at senior high. Challenges like this might sometimes put you under pressure. But it all depends on what you do. Keep calm and be prepared. That way, you'll make the most of your time at senior high.”People say, "Well begun, half done.” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life.Passage 2High school hintsInterviewer: Hello and welcome to School Talk! Today I'm joined by Lisa Osborne. Lisa graduated from our school last June and is about to go to college. Lisa, thank you for coming to share your suggestions for high school with us.Lisa: Hi, everybody. I'm very glad to be back. I feel as if high school was only yesterday. Interviewer: So what helped when you first started high school?Lisa: Orientation Day was really helpful. It's a fantastic opportunity for new students to get to know the school and the other students. I even made some new friends! Just keep an open mind and take part in as much as possible.Interviewer: That's sound advice for sure. But how did you deal with new challenges, like starting a new course?Lisa: I had a chemistry test right at the end of the first week. I was frightened at the sight of the test paper. But then I figured I'd better just go all out and see what happens. If you fail, no problem --next time you can fail better!Interviewer: So, hold your head up, then. But life is not always easy. You must have had some moments when you were disappointed. If so, how did you deal with them?Lisa: As a member of the school volleyball team, I wasn’t selected for the end-of-year competition. At first I was really sad, but later I realised that I joined the team for the love of the sport. It wasn't just about winning. So I kept working hard to support my teammates during our training. There's always a way to be part of something you love, isn't there?Interviewer: Yes, I totally agree. Is there anything else in particular that you'd like to share with us? Lisa: Looking back at my high school life, the most important advice I'd give are these wonderful words from the writer Maya Angelou. She said, “Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.” So, give your friends a hand when they need it. And this will make you feel good, too.Interviewer: Awesome! Well, thanks again for coming to speak to us, Lisa. And good luck with college. Lisa: Thank you.Unit 2 Exploring EnglishPassage 1Neither Pine nor Apple in PineappleHave you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning English? I hadn't, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham in a hamburger. There isn't. This made me realise that there's no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.For example, in our free time we can sculpt a sculpture and paint a painting, but we take a photo. And when we are travelling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While we're doing all this travelling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in a car, but we don't get homesick when we get back home. And speaking of home, why aren't homework and housework the same thing?If “hard" is the opposite of “soft”, why are “hardly" and “softly" not an opposing pair? If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviours the same?When we look out of the window and see rain or snow, we can say "it's raining" or “It's snowing”. But when we see sunshine, we can't say “it's sunshining”.Even the smallest of words can be confusing. When you see the capitalized "WHO" in a medical report, do you read it as the "who" in “Who's that?" What about “IT" and “US”?You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes!English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race.That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And that is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends.Passage 2(Mis)adventures in EnglishLast week, our forum asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English. We didn't expect to get so many posts! Here are some of our favourites, to remind us that some of the English we learn in the classroom is rather different from the English in the outside world!AlbaPeople say that the British always play safe with what they eat. Not true! I went to a summer school in Manchester and my English teacher was called Maggie. One day, a different teacher took our class. He told us that Maggie couldn't teach that day because she had a frog in her throat. Poor Maggie-but why did she try to eat such a big frog?YancyWhen I first visited New York, I went to a shopping centre to buy some winter boots. At the information desk I asked a lady where the shoe section was. She said that it was on the first floor. So I went up to the first floor, but couldn't find any shoes. When I was about to leave, I saw that shoes were actually sold on the ground floor, not the first floor. How confusing!JulienI've got an English pen friend, who I finally got to meet in London this summer. He had told me that his grandfather was "really wicked". But when I met his grandfather, I liked him a lot. I was very confused. Why did my friend use a negative word about such a nice man?Zheng XuThe British must have really high standards. I was part of a student exchange between a university in England and my university in China. I spent days preparing and writing my first English paper. I knew I had done a good job and was looking forward to getting a good grade. When I got the paper back, I found my teacher had written the comment "Not bad!" Not bad? I was a bit disappointed.Unit 3 Family mattersPassage 1Like Father Like Son(The living room, Friday night. A table and two chairs at front centre. Grandfather and Father, seated at the table, are playing chess.)Grandfather: And... I win! (enter Son)Father: Not again! Oh look, here comes my boy. How are you, son?Son: (nervously approaching the table) Erm... Dad, can we talk?Father: Sure! You know you can always turn to your dad for a chat.Son: OK. Here it is. I've decided not to go to university. I want to focus my band and have a career in music when I leave school.Father: (raising his voice in surprise) You can't be serious! What about your future career as a lawyer?!Son: I knew you'd say that. You just assume I want to be a lawyer, but that's only because you are a lawyer.Father: What's wrong with being a lawyer? People respect lawyers and you can have a good income.Son: Yes, but I'm not interested in law, I want to work in a studio, not a court.Grandfather: (looking at Father) Calm down, OK?Father: (ignoring Grandfather's words) Stop daydreaming! Playing in a band is not a job.Son: Of course it is! The music industry is developing fast now. Making music is a job.Grandfather: (stepping between Father and Son and raising his voice) Hey! I told you to calm down, both of you!Father: But I told him to study something useful at university!Grandfather:(laughing) Easy, son! I remember when you were his age you said that you wanted to be a professional soccer player.Father: And you wanted to be an engineer.Grandfather: I just wanted you to be happy, and an engineer-a happy engineer.Father: But in the end, you just advised me to think carefully.Grandfather: Yes, and you found the career that suited your talents. I'm so proud of you. Your son is proud of you, too.Son: Of course I am, but I have different talents.Grandfather: (turning to Son)Why don’t you also take my advice and think carefully before jumping in with both feet?Son: Well, I could try…Grandfather: If you go to university and play music at the same time, you will have two options for you future. And I’m sure playing in a band will help you make lots of new friends at university.Father: Yes, lots of new lawyer friends!Son: (with a sigh) Dad… (curtain.)Passage 2Just a BrotherIt was the final part of the 2016 Triathlon World Series in Mexico. With just 700 metres to go, Alistair Brownlee was in third place and his younger brother, Jonny, was in the lead. Alistair pushed himself towards the finish line in the burning heat, but as he came round the corner, he saw his brother about to fall onto the track. Alistair had to choose--brotherly love, or a chance to win the race?For Alistair, the choice was clear. His brother was in trouble. He had to help. Alistair ran towards Jonny, caught him and started pulling him towards the finish line. Alistair then pushed his brother over the line. The move put Jonny in second place and Alistair himself in third. It was an unexpected end to the race, but Alistair did not want to discuss it with the media. He just wanted to see his younger brother who had been rushed to the medical area.The Brownlee brothers have been doing triathlons since they were children. "Obviously, when your older brother is doing it, you think it's a cool thing to do,” says Jonny. Alistair says that they encourage each other as much as they can when they train. Despite arguments over "stupid things” now and then, Alistair agrees that having a brother is an advantage. “Throughout my entire life, I've had my brother trying to beat me at everything I do. It has been an enormously positive force.”Watched by millions, the ending to the race has divided opinions: should the brothers have been disqualified or highly praised for their actions? But for Alistair, his decision was easy to explain: "Mum wouldn't have been happy if I'd left Jonny behind.” At that moment, he was no longer an athlete aiming for a medal—he was just a brother.Unit 4 Friends foreverPassage 1Click for a Friend?How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters? This was how things worked not so very long ago. Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed significantly.Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with the people that we want to remain friends with. Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships without missing a beat.The digital age also enables us to find people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or playing an unusual instrument. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.But when you "friend" people online, does this mean that they really are your friends?It depends.If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person.On social media sites, people tend to post only good things that make them appear happy and friendly. But smiling photos can hide real problems. Remember the saying: on the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.But this doesn't mean we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed the way we are connected, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.Passage 2After Twenty Years (excerpts)The short story "After Twenty Years" is set in New York on a cold, dark night. Most people have left work to go home, and this part of the city is now quiet. A police officer who is checking the area sees a man outside a shop. He goes up to the man and finds the man has a scar on his face. They have a chat. The man starts to tell his story.“Twenty years ago to-night,” said the man, "I dined here at 'Big Joe’ Brady's with Jimmy Wells, my best chum, and the finest chap in the world. He and I were raised here in New York, just like two brothers, together. I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty. The next morning I was to start for the West to make my fortune. You couldn't have dragged Jimmy out of New York; he thought it was the only place on earth. Well, we agreed that night that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come. We figured that in twenty years each of us ought to have our destiny worked out and our fortunes made, whatever they were going to be.”It sounds pretty interesting, "said the policeman." Rather a long time between meets, though, it seems to me. Haven't you heard from your friend since you left?”Well, yes, for a time we corresponded, said the other. "But after a year or two we lost track of each other. You see, the West is a pretty big proposition, and I kept hustling around over it pretty lively. But I know Jimmy will meet me here if he's alive, for he always was the truest, stanchest old chap in the world. He'll never forget. I came a thousand miles to stand in this door to-night, and it's worth it if my old partner turns up.”Unit 5 Into the wildPassage 1The Monarch’ s JourneyMany animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year. This movement is called migration. They migrate to find food, find a partner or search of warmer weather. Of all the mass migrations, that of the North American monarch butterflies is one of the most wonderful.Every autumn, millions of these beautiful insects with delicate black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4, 000 kilometers south and find their way to places where they will spend the winter. However, until recently no one knew how they do this.A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Schlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer. They have discovered that the monarch is able to tell the time of day. It then uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two pieces of information —the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky—allow the butterfly to determine which way it needs to go and change its direction when necessary. Eventually, it manages to reach California or Mexico.The solution to the mystery of the monarch's amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble. Its population has crashed by as much as ninety per cent in the last few years. Unfortunately, human activity is the main reason why the monarch numbers are falling. In many of the places where monarchs can be found, people are destroying the natural environment by cutting down trees and using chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.A better understanding of the monarch's behaviour has however led to a greater awareness and appreciation of this creature. Volunteers have been working together to record their migration and make sure that there are enough plants for them to feed on. If this work is successful, there may come a time when monarch numbers increase once again. The more we know about the delicate creatures, the greater the chance they will survive. By doing more research, the monarch butterfly can keep its place in the human imagination for a long time to come.Passage 2An Encounter with NatureAs a nature photographer, I have to brave the elements. But despite the wind and the rain, I still enjoy working outside in the wild. One of the best things about this job is that you can observe animals in their natural environment.My favorite place to take photos is Yellowstone National Park. As the world's first national park, Yellowstone is famous for the variety of its wildlife, but it is probably best known for its bears. These huge, strong animals can live for up to thirty years. Despite an average weight of over 180 kilograms, they can run at a speed of 72 kilometres per hour and are also excellent swimmers.Last spring in Yellowstone, I followed a path that took me through a dark forest. When I finally stepped out of the trees, the view was breathtaking. An eagle flew over the snowcapped mountains, which were reflected in the still lake below. While I was concentrating on photographing this amazing scene, I suddenly had a feeling that I was being watched. Slowly, and with the camera still held to my eye, I turned… and froze. Only metres away from me was a bear. With water falling off its thick, brown hair, the bear stared back at me. Time stood still as the bear and I both waited to see who would move first. My legs started shaking. Somehow, I forced my finger to press the button. A second later, the bear turned and ran back into the forest. When I recovered from the shock, I looked at my camera. My most frightening but magical experience was now captured forever in a single image.From time to time I look at the photo as a reminder to show respect to all animals. It is after all we who are the visitors to their world.Unit 6 At one with naturePassage 1Longji Rice TerracesImagine mountains wrapped in silver water, shining in the spring sun. Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice. During autumn, these same mountains are flash gold, and in winter they are covered in sheets of white frost. These are the colours of the Longji Rice Terraces.These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people, to whom Guangxi is home. Starting in the Yuan Dynasty, work on the terraces took hundreds of years, until its completion in the early Qing Dynasty. Reaching as far as the eye can see, these terraces cover tall mountains, often from the bottom to the very top.So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn entire mountains into terraces? Firstly, there are few large, flat areas of land in the region. Building the terraces therefore meant that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice. Secondly, although the region has plenty of rain, the mountains are steep and the earth is shallow. The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.But perhaps what is most significant is the way in which people have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces and grow rice. The terraces are cleverly designed, with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other. During the rainy season, it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces. The sun heats the water and turins it into gas. This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again. These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish, some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops.Although modern technology could help produce more crops, the rice growers are people for whom traditions hold much value. This knowledge is passed down through families, which means that new generations continue to use ancient methods of agriculture to maintain the terraces. Today, the Longji rice Terraces attract thousands of visitors who come to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together.Passage 2A Love of Gardening“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” These words come from the book The Secret Garden, first published in 1911. At that time, only the very rich in Britain had gardens. Very soon after this, homes started to be built with gardens. Since then, the British love of gardening began! Today, millions of Brits like to say that they have “green fingers", with around half the population spending most of their free time gardening.For many people in the UK, their garden is their own private world. Each spring, children plant sunflowers and wait to see which one is the tallest. Expert gardeners know just the right corner for roses, and others spend hours trying to grow perfect vegetables to enter into competitions. And while many Brits like nothing better than spending their Sunday cutting the grass, some are happy just to sit and enjoy the beauty of their small world.But in cities, limited space has led to people looking for new solutions. Those without outside space can rent small pieces of land on which to grow things. Today, there are over 4, 000 people in London waiting for such pieces of land. One recent idea has been to turn rooftops and walls into private gardens. These gardens have helped make the cities greener and improve air quality.As well as being good for the environment, gardening is also good for the soul. What other free-time activity allows you to be at one with nature and create more beautiful living things? And if you’re in any doubt about this, take a moment to reflect on this line from The Secret Garden: "Where you tend a rose... A thistle cannot grow.”。

Unit 1 A new startU1 Section AMy First Day at Senior HighAfter I had pictured it over and over again in my mind, the big day finally arrived: my first day at senior high! I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to get to know my new school.The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “New here?” Turning around, I saw a white-haired man. “Yes,” I replied. “I’m wondering what life is going to be like here.” “Don’t worry,” he gave me a smile. “You’ll soon find out.”How true these words were! When my English teacher stepped into the classroom, I was surprised to see the same man I had met earlier.“Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I’ll go first...”“What?!” I tried to turn on my brain but the engine just wouldn’t start. “I should say my name, of course. But what else? What could I say to make a good first impression? Something about my insect collection, perhaps.” I was organising my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge. “It’s your turn!”With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. “Hi, I’m Meng Hao.” Everyone started laughing. I looked at them in panic. “Nice to know we share the same name,” said my new teacher.I had been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed, his word made me a lot more relaxed!When we had all introduced ourselves, Mr Meng said, “Well done, everyone! I know this isn’t easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face at senior high. Challenges like this might sometimes put you under pressure. But it all depends on what you do. Keep calm and be prepared. That way, you’ll make the most of your time at senior high.”People say, “Well begun, half done.” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life.U1 Section CHigh School HintsSchool TalkSubscribed 3,101+Add to Share ...More1,231 viewsPublished on 10 July 2017❤998Interviewer:Hello and welcome to School Talk!

Interviewer:Hello and welcome to School Talk! Today I’m joined by a former student of our school, Lisa Osborne.Lisa graduated from our school last June and is about to go to
college in New York. Lisa, thank you for coming to share your suggestions for high
school with us.
Lisa: Hi,everybody. I’m very glad to be back. I feel as if high school was only yesterday!
Interviewer:So what helped when you first started high school?
Lisa: Orientation Day was really helpful. It’s a fantastic opportunity for new students to get to know the school and the other students. I even made some new friends! Just
keep an open mind and take part in as much as possible.
Interviewer:That’s sound advice for sure. But how did you deal with new challenges, like starting a new course?
Lisa: I had a chemistry test right at the end of the first week. I was frightened at the sight of the test paper. But then I figured I’d better just go all out and see what happens.
If you fail, no problem -- next time you can fail better!
Interviewer:So, hold our head up, then. But life is not always easy. You must have had some moments when you were disappointed. If so, how did you deal with them?
Lisa: As a member of the school volleyball team, I wasn’t selected for the end-of-year competition. At first I was really sad, but later I realized that I joined the team for
the love of the sport. It wasn’t just about winning. So I kept working hard to
support my teammates during our training. There’s always a way to be part of
something you love, isn’t there?
Interviewer:Yes, I totally agree. Is there anything else in particular that you’d like to share with us?
Lisa: Looking back on my high school life, the most important advice I’d give is these wonderful words from the writer Maya Angelou. She said, “Be a rainbow in
somebody else’s cloud.” So, give your friends a hand when they need it. And this
will make you feel good, too.
