Putting It All Together Ⅰ Read the passage and answer the questions.
Get Together and Talk Things Over! Sometimes even best friends have fights. They disagree with each other and begin to argue. Sometimes they even stop talking to each other. If they are really good friends, though, they will try to fix things up. There are usually two sides to every story, so it is helpful if you can get someone else to listen to both sides.

I've been at Park School, London since I was 11. If I pass my exams next year, I'll stay here until I'm 18.Park School is a , about 20 minutes by bike away from home. Before I came here, I went to primary school, near my home. I started primary school when I was five and stayed there for six years.The schoolday is from 8:45 . to 3:15 . We spend the first 10 minutes in our classroom while our teacher checks which pupils are or . Then everyone goes to the main hall.

After-school activities, such as sports clubs and language societies are popular, too. During the school year there are usually visits to museums and galleries, and to camps for activities, such as climbing and cycling in the country.

We'rebetter at . But people don't eat as well as in the past, and don't take as much exercise as they did.Betty: I that's because public transport is much better today.Betty's mum: Yes, I agree.

The best-known clothing companies sell their "" clothes all over the world.

Then the less companies make clothes which look the same. But they don't sell as well because they don't have the .People also think clothes are better made.

You can't leave anything which bears might think is food."OK, let's tidy the up, and move on. Oh, and we should make lots of noise, too. If they know where we are, they may not come any closer," said Joe."If you see a bear," said Joe, "you mustn't move or make any . And above all, you mustn't run.

Say what the advantages or dangers are.Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3Read the passage. Which paragraphs describe what you can see in the picturesSix Rules for a Safe and Healthy LifeThanks to in both health care and personal safety, most people are living healthier, longer lives. Someone who is born today can expect to live 25 years longer than someone who was born in the 19th century. It's even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthday. Here are six rules for a healthy life.1. Be careful! It's dangerous out there!We all know that we shouldn't run across the road in front of the traffic, or cycle too close to cars. But we're not sure about how to stay safe in the countryside. When you're out walking, you should always go with someone, and tell your parents where you're planning to go. Remember! Climbing may also mean falling —what goes up must come down. Safety rules and advice are there to help you, not to make life less fun.2. Don't be a potato!Sure, it's comfortable to sit on the couch and watch. But experts say you should walk at least 10,000 steps every day to keep . In the past, people's jobs required more physical effort. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: do you get the same of exercise today as they did in the past3. Watch your diet!It's important to eat plenty of the right things, above all, fruit, vegetables, and to see fast food or sweets as something very special—maybe just now and then. The wrong diet means you'll put on , one of the fastest ways to an unhealthy life.4. Rest up while you can!When we were babies, we slept for much of the day—if our parents were lucky! Teenagers don't need as much sleep but it's important to get about eight hours' sleep. At weekends, you've got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest, too.5. Don't worry. Be happy!Many doctors believe that happiness is important for our general health. If you're worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher.6. Say no ... to smoking and drugs!Yes, you knew I was going to say this! But it's so important. More teenagers damage their health through smoking and taking drugs than any other dangers. Think about the on your family and friends, and think about its effect on you and your health.Happy living!Module 7 Unit 1Look at the party invitation and answer the questions.

What are the most surprising pieces of information about meals and eating customs in the WestDo as the Romans DoThere's a , "When in Rome, do as the do." And when you eat Western food, do as the Westerners do. Here are some things you may wish to know about eating together in the West.In the West, lunch is eaten later, always after midday, sometimes at one o'clock. Dinner is served around 7 . or even later. In Spain it's usual to eat lunch at 2 . and dinner at 10 .!At the start of a meal the Chinese usually say "manman chi". The French say "Bon appetit", and the Italians say "Buon appetito". But there's no similarexpression in English! "Enjoy your meal" is usually only said by a waiter. For "ganbei", you can say ""!Chopsticks are only used when people eat Chinese food. Knives and are used for most food. The fork is held in your left hand and the in your right, and the food is held with the fork and cut with the knife. Americans often cut all their food first, and then put the fork in their right hand to eat it. Soup is drunk with a . However, there is some food which can be eaten with your fingers, such as chicken legs, seafood, and cake.At the start of a meal, if you're the guest, you'll be invited to yourself ("Help yourself!"), or your will be filled by your host ("Can I serve you"). If you've been given something you don't like, it should be pushed to the edge of the plate and left. You don't have to say why, but if you feel an is required, just say, "I'm sorry. I can't eat this." No one will be . If you're offered more food, but can't eat any more, just say, "No, thanks. It was delicious, but I've had enough."Generally, fewer dishes are prepared than in China. It isn't thought to be so important to offer too much food.Finally, it's sometimes difficult to know when the meal is . If you've been invited to dinner by Western friends, you'll know that you're expected to stay and talk around the dinner table long after the last dish has been brought to the table, and it's thought quite rude if you leave as soon as you finish eating.The golden rule is: Watch the other people. Do as they do.Module 8 Unit 1 Listen and read.Tony'smum: How was the playTony: Well, I was pleased to see it, but three hours is a long time to staystill.Tony'smum: Was it in EnglishTony: Yes, it was acted by the Beijing English Theatre Company.Tony'smum: What was the bestTony: The fight between the two families and their !

人教版九年级英语课文原文word版Unit1 How can we become good learners?How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning.I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, Ilooked up the words in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.P6 2bHow Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.Creating an interest in what they learnStudies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.Practicing and learning from mistakesGood learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Rem ember, “use it or lose it”! Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it.Practice makes perfect. Good learners are also not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.Developing their study skillsIt is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. Good learners find out the best ways to learn well. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.Asking questionsGood learners oft en ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a life-long journey because every day bringssomething new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.P8 self check 1Are you________ out each time you have a test? You don’t have to be if you_______smart study skills. Remember to________notesin class and review them on your own or with friends after class. Then what you learned by doing_____. Try to study and________information bit by bit instead of waiting__________ the last minute to study_________ at once. If you________ well for a test, then there’s nothing to_________ about!Unit 2 I think that mooncakes are delicious!P13 3aFull Moon, Full FeelingsChinese people have been celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon onmid-autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the famili es they love and miss.There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him a magic medicine to thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yiplanned to drink it with Chang’e. However, a bad man, Feng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She be came very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi wasso sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back!After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.P12 4bDear Xia Yu,Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children oft en give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in China. I wonder if children over there also givesimilar gift s to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to s how our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.JuneP14 2bThe Spirit of ChristmasMany would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gift s, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and is perhaps the best example of this.A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhoodand reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. He sees that he is dead but nobody cares. Scrooge is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is already the next morning on Christmas Day!He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gift s to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!P16 self check 1Many Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always on a Sunday__________March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates thebirth of new life. Hens________eggs, giving birth to life. So an egg is a symbol of new life. A popularactivity during Easter is to hide eggsaround your home or_________for friends or________ to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs.Not only do people________them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these_________as gifts. So just like Christmas, Easter creates good________for supermarkets and chocolate stores.Unit3Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?UNIT 3P19 3aFun Times Park ― Always a Fun Time![Alice and He Wei are in Space World]Alice: I wonder where we should go next.He Wei: How about that new ride over there?Alice: Oh ... it looks pretty scary.He Wei: Come on! I promise it’ll be fun! If you’re afraid, just shout or hold my hand.[After the ride]Alice: You were right, that was fun! I was scared at first, but shouting really did help.He Wei: See, that wasn’t so bad, right? You never know until you try something.Alice: Yes, I’m so glad I tried it. Now I know I can do it andit’s actually fun!He Wei: Do you want to go to Water World now?Alice: Sure, but I’m really hungry. Do you k now where we can get some good food quickly?He Wei: Of course! I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World. It’s a fast food place. It serves delicious hamburgers and hot dogs.Alice: That sounds perfect![On their way to Water City Restaurant, Alice and He Wei pass by Uncle Bob’s.]Alice: Oh, look! This restaurant looks interesting. It seems a rock band plays there every evening.He Wei: Maybe we can come here fo r dinner later. Let’s ask what time the band starts.[Alice and He Wei walk up to a staff person at the door.]He Wei: Excuse me, could you tell us when the band starts playing this evening?Staff: Eight o’clock. It’s always busy, so come a little earlier to get a table.He Wei: OK, thanks!P22 2bCould You Please ...?When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are simi lar requests for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct ― or more indirect ― when we ask for help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to yourteacher, “When is the school trip.’’, th is might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates.Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please ...?” or “Can I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me youre-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Som etimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might fi rst say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.P27 3aFrom Shy Girl to Pop Star1 Fo r this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and the n for t he whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the ti me. “I didn’tuse to be popular in sc hool, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much att ention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hardwork to succeed. Only a very small number of pe ople make it to the top.”P30 2bHe Used to Cause a Lot of TroubleLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy who works hard in school and gets good grades. It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child” until a conversation with hi s parents influenced his way of thinking. Li Wen lives in the Sichuancountryside. As a small child, he seldom gave his parents any problems, and they were proud of him. However, _________, the boy’s life became more difficult. He had to move in with his grandmother.Li Wen began to cause problems for himself and his family. He was no longer interested in studying. He was oft en absent from classes, and he failed his examinations. Finally, his parents made a decision to send him to a boarding school. Li Wen no longer lived with his grandmother. He studied, ate and slept at the school, and he hated it. There were so many rules, and he used to keep breaking them. One day, he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. __________The head teacher advised his parents to talk with their son in person. His parents took a 40-hour train ride and a five-hour bus ride to go back to their hometown. To Li Wen’s surprise, their conversation changed his life. “It was exactly what I needed,” he said. “My parents helped me to understand ho w much they had given me.Th ey also told me that even though they couldn’t be there to take care of me, they were always thinking of me and would take pride in everything good that I did.___________. I realized thatsince m y parents moved away, I’ve been a fraid of being alone, and have tried to make my parents pay more att ention to me.”____________. He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class. His parents’ love has made him feel good abou t himself. “It’s very important for par ents to be there for their children,” Li Wen says.P31 2eLi Wen is a good student, son and grandson. However, he used to cause a lot of trouble for his parents. When his parents moved to work in anothercity, they could not be at home to____________ him. So he was___________ interested in studying and missed classes. Then his parents________to send him to a boarding school and he________it. In the end, his teacher advised his parents to talk with their son and this conversation____________ his life. He realized that his parents would__________everything good that he did. Now he is one of the best students in his class.Unit5 What are the shirts made of?P35 3aThe Difficult Search for American Goods in the USIf you go to another country, what kinds of things would youbuy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old studentfrom Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.”Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or s ix stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Amer icans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China ―footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flag s are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.P38 2bBeauty in Common ThingsEach different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay tobamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are sosmall but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters froma Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished andpainted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.P39 2d1. People used to sky lanterns when they were in trouble. But today, people light the lanterns and watch them_______the sky with their wishes.2. The art of paper cutting_______ a simple thing like a piece of paper________ a beautiful piece of art. People often_________these art pieces_____ the doors, windows and walls of their homes to celebrate the Spring Festival.3. To make Chinese clay art, the clay is shaped by hand into things__________cute children or characters from Chinese fairy tales and stories. They are then______ paint.Unit 6 When was it invented?P43 3aAn Accidental InventionDid you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water an yway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea tradefrom China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.P44 4cThe telephone (invent) by Alexander Graham Bell. He_______(born) in 1847. Alexander_____ (work) on the invention of the telephone with Thomas Watson. In 1875, Alexander______ (learn) to send musical notes through an instrument similar to a telephone. Finally, the telephone________(invent) in 1876.
