He loved the sport with all his heart and soul, and he practiced every day, rain or shine.However, Jack faced a major challenge. He was born with a physical condition that made it difficult for him to run and play like other children. This did not deter him from his dream, though. Instead, it made him more determined to prove himself.Every morning, before school, Jack would wake up early and head to the local park to practice. He would kick the ball, run drills, and practice his shooting skills. He worked hard and never gave up, even when he fell behind or faced setbacks.One day, a professional soccer coach named Mr. Smith saw Jack practicing. He was impressed by the boy's dedication and hard work. Mr. Smith decided to offer Jack a spot on his youth soccer team.At first, Jack was nervous and intimidated by the more talented players on the team. But he remembered his dream and the hard work he had put in. He persevered and proved himself to be a valuable member of the team.Over time, Jack's hard work and dedication paid off. His skills improved dramatically, and he became a star player on the team. His story inspired other players to work harder and never give up on their dreams.Finally, after years of hard work and perseverance, Jack's dream came true. He was offered a spot on a professional soccer team, and he went on to become a successful and renowned player.Jack's story teaches us an important lesson about perseverance. No matter what challenges we face, we must never give up on our dreams. With hard work, dedication, and perseverance, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.”机翻大义毅力的力量曾经有一个名叫杰克的小男孩，他梦想着成为一名职业足球运动员。

01、From the time we were babies we have been taught our manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and a fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people. Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else.Almost everywhere eating together means that you are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia(波利尼西亚) it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. They politely turn their backs on each other when they are taking food. Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing. They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well, or tobless a new-born baby. In most other places, spitting means just something completely different. It’s something to do to show that you hate someone.When we go to visit someone we say “Hello”, and “How are you” and things like that.If you were visiting an East African village, everyone would be very careful not to pay any attention to you. The polite thing there would be for you to go quietly, without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You would wait until he had finished what he was doing and then he would begin talking to you.In a village in Arab, a visitor walks behind all the tents(帐篷) until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passed in front, he would be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It was rude(粗鲁) to refuse.从我们是婴儿时候起就被教导我们的举止。

But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other timeThe City Mouse and the Country MouseOnce there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."A Good BoyLittle Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?""I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered."You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more.

Everybody admires him for his great sense of humour -- everybody, that is, except his six-year-old daughter, Jenny. Recently, one of Jeremy's closest friends asked him to make a speech at a wedding reception. This is the sort of thing that Jeremy loves. He prepared the speech carefully and went to the wedding with Jenny. he had included a large number of funny stories in the speech and, of course, it was a great success. As soon as he had finished, Jenny told him she wanted to go home. Jeremy was a little disappointed by this but he did as his daughter asked.

Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls，he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once，Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time，but they were most amused. 'Jumbo must weigh a few tons，' said a policeman afterwards，'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. Of course，we should arrest him，but as he has a good record，we shall let him off this time.'versus prep. 对(对抗的概念)Christmas n. 圣诞节circus n. 马戏团present n. 礼物accompany v. 陪伴, 随行approach v. 走近ought modal verb. 应该weigh v. 重fortunate adj. 幸运的【短语汇总】set off出发3 In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7,1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.【生词汇总】tunnel n. 隧道port n. 港口ventilate v. 通风chimney n. 烟囱sea level 海平面double adj. 双的ventilation n. 通风fear v. 害怕invasion n. 入侵，侵略officially adv. 正式地connect v. 连接European adj. 欧洲的continent n. 大陆【短语汇总】无4The InternetWe are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up (建立) in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system (系统) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first, the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet easier.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mails is more and more popular among young people.The In ternet now has become one of the most important parts in people’s life.5 A generous giftA woman was collecting money for a church charity. The money she collected was going to be given to poor children who had no parents to take care of them.She went from apartment to apartment and from house to house. She knocked on doors and asked for money.She always said the same words. “Good morning, I’m collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000.” Then she held out a collecting box. Most people put a few coins in the box.An artist lived in one of the apartments. He opened the door for her.“Good morning,” she said. “I’m collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000.”The artist thought for a moment, then he said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t have any money. However, I’ ll give you a painting.A week later she called on him again.“I’m sorry to trouble you again,” she said, “but we still need more money. I need another $100. Can you help?”“Of course,” the artist said. “I’ ll increase the value of my painting to $500.”6Body languageSometimes people add to what they say even when they don’t talk. Gestures are the “silent language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.Private space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they stand two and a half feet away at an angle (角), so they are not facing each other directly. Americans will get uncomfortable if a person stands too close. They will move back to have their own space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they will say, “Pardon me,” or “Excuse me.”Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don’t do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But when you stare at someone, it is not polite.For Americans, thumbs up means yes, very good, or well done. Thumbs down means the opposite (反义词). To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger (食指). Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold (责骂) them and pat (轻拍) them on the head when they admire them.Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing (难以理解的). If you don’t know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.7The farmer, the son, and the donkeyOne day a farmer and his son were on their way to a nearby market town to sell their donkey.As they walked along beside the donkey, they met some young girls on the road. The girls began to laugh at them. “Don’t you two look silly?”they said. “Both of you are walking, and one of you could be riding.”When the farmer heard this, he agreed. He helped his son get onto the donkey, and they continued on their way.Soon they passed two men standing by th e roadside. “Just look at that!”said one of the two men. That poor old man is walking while his son is riding. The boy ought to be ashamed.”So the son got off the donkey, and his father climbed on and rode.They had not gone very far when they came to some old women at a crossroad. One woman scolded (责备) the father. “How dare you ride that donkey while that poor child has to walk. He must be exhausted.”So the farmer lifted the boy up beside him, and they both rode the rest of the way to town. When they finallyarrived in town, they passed a man who wanted to know if the donkey belonged to them. The farmer replied that it was their donkey. “That poor animal is overworked,” said the man. “The two of you could carry it far better than it can carry you!”So the farmer and his son got down. But they couldn’t figure out how to carry the donkey. Finally, the father had an idea. From a tree, he cut a thick branch to make a kind of carrying pole (杆). He tied the donkey’s feet to the pole with rope. Then, he and his son each carried one end of the pole with the frightened donkey hanging between them.By the time they reached the bridge, a noisy crowd stood around watching them. The crowd pointed and laughed loudly. All the noise and laughter frightened the donkey. It began to kick and pull at (用力拉) the ropes. Soon it got loose and fell into the river below. Since it couldn’t swim, the d onkey drowned.The farmer and his son felt very foolish. Slowly they turned and started back home with no donkey and no money.Moral (寓意): If you try to please everyone, you may end up pleasing no one. 8How can a rocket fly?Rockets can fly far out into space. Rockets made by the USA and Russia with man inside them have already reached the moon. Several rockets without man have been sent to other worlds much farther away. On Nov. 7, 2007, China’s first lunar probe (月球探测器), Chang’e I, successfully completed its1,580,000km flying journey to the moon.I am sure that you are asking: How does a rocket fly? If you want to know, geta balloon and then blow it up, until it is quite big. Do not tie up the neck of the balloon, let it go. The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly. The air inside the balloon tries to get out. It rushes out through the neck of the balloon and this pushes the balloon through the air.This is how a rocket works. Of course, the rocket is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong. There is gas inside the rocket, which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air. The jet velocity (喷射速度) is always faster than the flying speed.We’re sure that one day rockets with man may be able to go anywhe re in space.9 Helping handsJane Warner’s husband, Jack, was sent to prison for two years for stealing. While he was in prison, Jane had a very difficult time.She had two children, but no job. Her husband, of course, did not make any money either. The only money she had was a small amount from the government.“I don’t know how we will manage,” she wrote to her husband in prison. “I get only enough money to pay the rent (租金). There isn’t enough money for food.I think I’ll have to plant vegetables in the garden. They’ll grow quickly. We can live on vegetables.”The garden was quite large, and much of it was covered with grass.When Jack Warner received his wife’s letter, he replied to her immediately.“Don’t dig up the garden,” he wrote. “That’s where the money I stole is hidden.”All letters written by the prisoners were read by one of the guards before they were mailed.When the guard read Jack’s letter, he took it to t he head guard.When the head guard read it, he telephoned the police. He told them what Jack had written to his wife.The police immediately went to Jack’s house. They took forks and shovels (铲) with them. They dug up the garden, looking for the money, but they did not find anything.When they had gone, Mrs. Warner wrote to her husband.“The police came today,” she wrote.“They dug up all the grass. What should I do?”Her husband wrote back immediately, “Plant the vegetables.”10 The golden touchThere once lived a king named Midas who was very rich. He loved two things above all else: his little daughter and gold. The king had many rooms full of gold, but he wasn’t satisfied. He wanted to possess even more gold.One day when the king was in his garden, an unknown visitor came to him. He told the king that he could wish for anything he wanted. At first the king did not believe the stranger, but finally he was convinced (使信服). “I wish to have more gold,” the king said. “Very well,” answered the stranger. “You shall have your wish. From tomorrow, everythin g you touch will turn to gold.”The next morning the king got out of bed early. He wanted to see if his wish had been granted. First, he touched a chair, then a flower, then a table. Everything he touched turned to gold! The king was very happy. Then, he sat down to eat breakfast. But as soon as he touched his food, it turned to gold. The king began to worry. What would happen if he couldn’t eat anything?Just then the little princess came into the dining room. She ran to her father. But as he touched her, she turned to gold.The king was sad and worried. He went out to the garden. As he was walking, he saw the stranger again. The king begged him to take back the wish. “I don’t want any more gold,” he cried. The stranger warned the king to be sure this time. Then, he agreed to take back the wish.From that day on, the king was a wiser and happier man, even though he had less gold.The king was sad and worried. He went out to the garden. As he was walking, he saw the stranger again. The king begged him to take back the wish. “I don’t want any more gold,” he cried. The stranger warned the king to be sure this time. Then, he agreed to take back the wish.From that day on, the king was a wiser and happier man, even though he had less gold.11 Uncle SamUncle Sa m is a tall, thin man. He’s an older man with white hair and white beard. He often wears a tall hat, a bow tie (领结), and the stars and stripes of the American flag.Who is this strange-looking man? Would you believe that Uncle Sam is the U.S. government? But why do we call the U.S. government Uncle Sam?During the War of 1812, the U.S. government hired meat packers to provide meat to the army. One of these meat packers was a man named Samuel Wilson. He was a friendly and fair man. Everyone liked him and called him Uncle Sam.Sam Wilson stamped the boxes of meat for the army with a large U.S.—for United States. Some government inspectors (巡视员) came to look over Wilson’s company. They asked a worker what the U.S. on the boxes stood for. As a joke, the worker answered that these letters stood for the name of his boss, Uncle Sam.The joke spread, and soldiers began saying that their food came from Uncle Sam. Before long, people called all things that came from the government “Uncle Sam’s”. “Uncle Sam”became a nickname for the U.S. government.Soon there were drawings and cartoons of Uncle Sam in newspapers. In these early pictures, Uncle Sam was a young man. He wore stars and stripes, but hishair was dark and he had no beard. The beard was added when Abraham Lincoln was the president. President Lincoln had a beard.The most famous picture of Uncle Sam is on a poster during World War I. The government needed men to fight in the war. In the poster, a very serious Uncle Sam points his finger and says, “I want YOU for the U.S. Army.”12 Looking for goldTwo brothers sold all they had and went to California to look for gold. They discovered a vein (矿脉) of gold, and bought the land. Then they began the business of getting the gold out of the land. Everything went well at first, but later a strange thing happened. The vein of gold was gone! The brothers felt disappointed, but they kept on digging for a few months. Unfortunately, they got nothing, so they decided to give up. They sold the land for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home.Two years later the person who bought the land sent an engineer to check up on the vein of gold. The engineer told him to go on digging three feet deeper. Then they found gold.If the brothers have more persistence (坚持), they will have a lot of gold now.。

In the first part the young children can learn to swim. I go there on Tuesday and Sunday. Our teacher teaches us how to swim. On Sundays we have races. Last Sunday I was the winner. It was wonderful.I love swimming because I can swim in all the seasons. In winter, I swim in the swimming pool, but in summer, I swim in the sea. The sea is more dangerous than the pool. But in the sea I can do different things. I play with the ball and I teach other children to do many swimming tricks.

冀教版英语七年级下册_阅读材料：The_Silk_Road

阅读材料：The Silk RoadThis ancient trade route starts in the old capitals of Luoyang and Xi’an, reaches the Yellow River at Lanzhou, follows along the "Gansu Corridor" and stretches along the edge of deserts and mountains. Before the discovery of the sea route to India, the Silk Road was the most important connection between the Orient and the West. It experienced its last great era during the time of Mongols, when the entire route from China to the Mediterranean was part of one empire. At that time, Nicolo and Marco Polo traveled from Kashgar to the Far East along the southern route. The overland link quickly lost its importance as trade across the seas developed. Today it has been replaced in China with the railway line Lanzhou-Hami-Urumqi. The last part, to Alma-Ata in Kazatchstan was completed in 1992. The trade route was never known as the Silk Road historically. It was given the name by a German geographer Ferdinand Freiherr von Richthofen.这古代贸易路线开始在旧首都洛阳和西安,达到在兰州黄河,遵循“甘肃走廊”和延伸到边缘的沙漠和山脉。

仁爱版英语七年级下册7B 初中英语阅读材料：生日快乐歌的起源

阅读材料：生日快乐歌的起源"Happy Birthday to You" Where did that song come from?The story of how the song "Happy Birthday to You" came to be, began as a sweet one, that later soured. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, entitled "Good Morning to All." When Mildred combined her musical talents, as the resident expert on spiritual songs, and as the organist for her church, with her sister's expertise in the area of Kindergarten Education, "Good Morning to All" was sure to be a success.关于“祝你生日快乐”一歌是如何产生的故事，一开始是件令人愉快的事，到后来就变了味，令人很扫兴。

事情是这样的：有姐妹俩，一个叫玛德里德·希尔，路易思维尔市肯德基实验幼儿园教师，一个叫柏蒂·希尔，该校的校长。

姐妹俩一道为儿童们谱写了一首歌，歌名为“大家早上好”。

玛德里德是当地赞美歌的专家，再加上她的音乐天分，又是当地教堂的风琴师，而且她姐姐在幼儿教育方面也很有经验，“大家早上好”一歌无疑是个巨大的成功。

仁爱版英语七年级下册阅读材料：My_School_Life

阅读材料：My School LifeEveryday we go to our beautiful school in spite of rain or shine. We’ll spend a whole day in school.In the morning, we come to school. Most of us get up earlier to avoid our names tobe listed. But of course, there are few students who have no time concept and are always late.With the ring for break throughout the schoolyard, we all become as lively as monkeys! Some of us run or jump in the playground, some skip ropes, play badminton, kick shuttlecock, read some books and the others sit around and chat with each other cheerfully. Recently, we’ll have a sports meeting in our school. So some of the students are very excited about that and they practice a lot.Once the bell for class rings, we clean up our dresses, wipe off sweat, go back to the classroom and wait for the teacher. In class, we pay much attention to the teacher and take notes. If we have problems and cannot find the correct answers, we will rise up our hands and ask the teacher. When the teacher asks us some questions about the lesson, we will think about them carefully and try to answer the questions actively. Sometimes we don’t know the answers，we would listen to what the teacher explains carefully. Anyway we cannot waste a bit of time in class; otherwise we will not learn anything or pass the exam.At noon, some of us go home for lunch. And the others have lunch at school. The school lunch is not delicious enough. But the advantage is that we have many more choices and we can choose what we want by ourselves. There’re many kinds of food, such as beef noodles, hot dogs, fish, chicken, vegetables and so on. After lunch, my good friend and I often chat with each other and take a walk in the campus. After that, we have a noon break. At this time, we should keep quiet and study by ourselves or have a rest. Boys often feel tired and have a rest because they play basketball before. But we girls usually go over the lessons.When a school day finishes, we may go home. But some of us on duty must dosome cleaning in the classroom, and others would like to play basketball and do some after-school activities before we go home and do our homework.In a word, although days in school are the same, but we not only learn book knowledge, but also exercise our other abilities. So I think our school life is rich and colorful. How I love my school life!。
