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, I looked 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 havesome 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. Remember, “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 brings something new. Everything that youlearn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.P8 self check 1ifyou_______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 tostudy_________ 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 on mid-autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the families 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 Yi planned 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 becamevery light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was so 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 give similar gift s to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to show 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 childhood and 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 aSunday__________March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates thebirth of new life. Hens________eggs, giving birth to life. So an egg is a symbolof new life. A popular activity 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 createsgood________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 and it’s actually fun!He Wei: Do you want to go to Water World now?Alice: Sure, but I’m really hungry. Do you know where we can get some goodfood 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 for 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 similar requests for directions to a place. Both ar e 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 withdifferent people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this 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 your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first 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 For 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 then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymo re and loves singing in front of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explainedthat there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention 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 hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people 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 his parents influenced his way of thinking. Li Wen lives in the Sichuan countryside. 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 how much they had given me. They 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 Idid.___________. I realized that since my parents moved away, I’ve been afraid of being alone, and have tried to make my parents pay more attention 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 about himself. “It’s very important for parents to be there for their children,” Li Wen says.P31 2etrouble 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 you buy? 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 student from 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 s hoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans 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 flags 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 andfamily. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, 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 so small 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 and painted. 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 lightthe 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 intothings__________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 anyway. 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 Engl and, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 yearslater, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from 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. The first sentence that_______ (say) on the telepho ne by Alexander was “Mr. Watson, come here; I want to see you.” Today the telephone____________ (use) around the world.P45 1dThe History of Potato ChipsDid you know that potato chips were invented by mistake? Potatochips____________by a cook called George Crum. They were invented in________. George Crum cut the potatoes really, really__________and then cooked them for a long time until they were__________ . Andhe put lots of salt on them so they were____________ .p46 2bDo You Know When BasketballWas Invented?Basketball is a much-loved and active sport more than 100 million people inover 200 countries. In China, you can sometimes see people playing basketball in parks, schools and even in factories.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was at college, his teacher asked the class to think of a game that can be played in the winter. Dr. Naismith created a game to be played inside on a hard floor. Dr. Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them to play his new game. The purpose of the game is for players to get a ball into the “basket”. Players on the same team must work together to help each other get the ball in the other team’s basket. At the same time, they need to stop the competing team from getting the ball into their own basket.It is believed that on December 21, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an event at the Olympics. Today, the popularity of basketball has risen around the world, with many young people dreaming of becoming famous players. Basketball has not only become a popular sport to play, it has also become a more popular sport to watch.Although America’s NBA games are the most famous, the CBA games are becoming popular in China. The number of foreign players, including Chinese players, in the NBA has increased. And there are also more and more foreign players in the CBA. Many young people look up to these basketball heroes and want to become like them. These stars encourage young people to work hard to achieve their dreams.P48 Self Check 1It is often difficult to decide on the inventor of certain inventions. This is because sometimes a few people may_______things which are_______the same. Opinions are then_______ about who came up with the idea first. Some inventions can also all of a_______lead to other inventions. So some people_______whether the inventor came up with the idea himself or herself. They think that the inventor used someone else’s idea to create his or her invention. That is why books or websites usually ________more than one inventor when giving information about inventions.Unit7 Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.P51 3aMom Knows BestWhen I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my sideWhen I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep inWhen I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from dangerWhen I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me upWhen I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for meBut I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”When I was nine watch ing scary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreamsBut I shouted back angrily, “I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”But I talked back again —“I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeennow!”Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those timesI coughed for days after eating that ice-creamAnd had scary dreams after watching that filmI was late for school from staying out past tenI regret talking back, not listening to MomMom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!P52 4bShould teenagers _________(ask) to move out when they start working? In many Western countries, teenagers_______ (allow) to move out at sixteen or seventeen. Their parents believe that they should__________ (educate) to take care of themselves from a young age. This way, when they_______ (start) working they can manage their own lives. However, in most Asian societies, the family unit is especially strong. So it is not common for teenagers to_______ (move) out. Chinese parents believe that it is better for children to live with parents who can_______(take) care of them. But the young should then look after their parents as they get older. That is why many Chinese adults ______(continue) to live with their parents.P54 2bShould I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions?Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on hisschool team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. However, his parents wo n’t allow him to train so much. “Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu. “And we know how much he loves running. My wife and I have supported every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs to thi nk about other possible jobs. He’s getting older now, so he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t end up a professional runner.”Liu Yu doesn’t really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,”he says. “My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I’m serious about running. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don’t allow him to practice running at night. “Maybe he thinks it’s too strict or unfair,” says Mrs. Liu. “But we think we’re doing the right thing. He needs to spend more time on his homework because becoming a professional sports star is a difficult dream.”But Liu Yu still disagrees. “I know my parents care about me. They always talk about what will happen if I don’t succeed. But I will! I’m a quick runner! I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my d ream.”Unit8 It must belong to Carla.P59 3aWe live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quiet and nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days,something unusual is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don’t think so!”Victor’s next-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. “At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, either. So I guess it can’t be a dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something running away, but it was dark so she is not sure. “I think it was too big to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.”Everyone in our town is feeling uneasy, and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must be something visiting the homes in our neighborhood, but what is it? We have no idea. Most people hope that this animal or person will simply go away, but I do not think that is going to happen. The noise-maker is having too much fun creating fear in the neighborhood.P62 2bStonehenge — Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There?Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places, but also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than750,000 visitors. Especially in June, people go to this place as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient。

新外研版英语九年级上下全册课文word版M1U2 P4The greatest wonder of the natural world When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.After about a kilometer, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?”I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was sill too dark to see anything.Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. . I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometres below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon . How far is it? It’s 20 kilometres , maybe more. Finally , I looked to my left and to my left and to my right , and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance … over 400 kilometres long . The Grand Canyon is not just big . It’s huge!That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question . It’s not “How deep is it ?” or “How wide is it ?” or “How long is it ? ” but “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world ? ” I know the answer. But what do you think?M2U2P12The adventures of Tom SawyerHere is our monthly article on a favourite great book. This month, our guest Writer is Mr Jackson.My favourite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg, Missouri. He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of gold.My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The themes of the story are to do with children growing up and becoming more serious. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviourWhy do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876. but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on—read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.M3U2P20Liu Xiang- trained for goldSports yearbook 2004For Liu Xiang, life as a sporting hero has justbegun .First of all, he'll be invited to competitions around the world. He'll be chosen to represent China at the Olympic Games. He's a symbol of China's international sporting success.And now that he's well known all over the world .Liu Xiang will also be asked to appear in advertisements and films, and even to record music. But his coach Sun Haiping is making sure that he trains regularly .Liu Xiang will be advised by his coach on how to be a great sportsman and by his manager on how to be a star.Liu Xiang is not an overnight success. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July, 1983 and, like many Olympic sports stars, he started training when to the Junior Sports School of putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train as a high jumper. Then, in 1998,his skill at hurdling was noticed by his coach Sun Haiping.Liu Xiang was helped by a special programme. It was set up in 2001 to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu's races were recorded with the world's best sports stars .Sun Haiping used the information to change Liu's training programme. In 2002 he won his first international 110m hurdles event in Switzerland, and in the same year, a gold medal at the Asian Games in Korea .In 2004, Liu won the first Olympic gold medal in the same event for China in Athens, Greece.So what's next for Liu Xiang? Has he found out that there's more to life than training? Will he be encouraged to spend more time away from sport?No, Liu Xiang will go for more medals for China because he was trained for gold! M4U2P28Can books be replaced by computers?by Tony Smith Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. The first printed books were made by putting ink on a wooden block and holding the paper against it. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly, in a way that can be compared with the introduction of the Internet in the 20th century.But will books be needed in the future? Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players. These machines are smaller and lighter than books so that they can be carried very easily. Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!M5U2P36The Science Museum in Londonby Tony SmithThe most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there's no shouting and no running, and you aren't allowed to touch the exhibits.But the Science Museum is different… because it's noisy! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it's a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button. If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry.You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops. Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can stay as long as you like-it’s open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favourite museum in the whole world. M6u2p44How to be greenBy Zhao Ming How green are you? Do you care about protecting the environment and saving energy? Try these questions and see.Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school?Do you buy new clothes just because they are the latest fashions?Do you open a window instead of turning on air conditioning?Do you buy things produced locally instead of made abroad?Do you take your own cloth bag when shopping instead of using plastic bags?Do you sort the waste before throwing it away?We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle. ReduceReduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going in to the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary – or may be the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.ReuseReuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing the m away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again. RecycleRecycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.Dear Mum and Dad,I’m writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment we’re staying near Uluru —that’s the Aboriginal name for A yers Rock. On the first day, we took a helicopter tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high. The colours of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient Aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a centre of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives and they’re like us in many ways. Their f amily life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but the games that they love the most are football, cricket and rugby. Because most Australians live near the coast, they love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it’s December, it’s summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.Most Australians speak English, although they have some special expressions such as “Good day!” and “No worries, mate.” They mean “Hello!” and “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a problem!”The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper, and I got very tired. Everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down …Finally, later this evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It’s been a fantastic trip! Love,TonyResults of student photo competitionWe were very pleased with the photo competition. Compared with other years, we received many more photos. Even though all of the photos are excellent, we can’t give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.The person who won the prize for the Most Beautiful Nature photography is fifteen-year-old Li Wei. Li took photos of the mountains in Xiangshan Park. The park isn’t far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it very well.The photo which we liked best in the Historic China group was taken by Zhao Min. Zhao is only 12 years old. Her photo is of Tian’an men Square, the largest public square in the world. It’s 880 metres from north to south and 500 metres wide at the northern end. Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.The best photo in the Music category was taken by He Zhong. His photo of this year’s best band Crazy Feet shows the singer. Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great new band, and the fun which their fans are having.A collection of photos called “The many Faces of Our City” which features Beijing won the prize for the Most Unusual category. Three pupils at the same school worked on this entry. It includes photos of different parts of the city, old and new. It successfully shows the rich culture which makes Beijing so famous. Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition. We are very lucky that the famous photographer John William is in China to talk about his new book. He has agreed to present the prizes at the prize giving ceremony at the end of this month.Cartoon heroesNemo, a cute orange-and-white fish, and Shriek, a huge green monster, have won the hearts of young people in China and the all over the world . The heroes of popular cartoons are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and computer screens.But there are some cartoon favorites which are older. The cartoon of the monkey King has just had its “40th birthday”. Called havoc in Heaven, it tells the story of a monkey who leads a group of monkeys against the rule of the Emperor in heaven. He flies into a peach garden and ears as many peaches as he likes. He makes a mess in each room in heaven. But it is above all the jokes played by the monkey that people remember. “Havoc in heaven” has become a common expression used by a parent or a boss when they return to the house or office and see a mess.Another favorite who has celebrated an important birthday in China is a reporter with hair and a small white dog. Tintin has traveled to the jungles, the backstretch of Shanghai and even the surface of the moon. Tintin has been popular for 75 years, ever since Belgian cartoonist Here invented the character in 1929. His books have been translated into more than 50 languages, and about 200 million copies have been sold. In December 1984 the whole series of Tintin began to be published in China. Many Chinese still keep collections of these black-and-white Tintin books. There are several fan clubs in China which have held birthday parties for Tintin in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Wuhan.Finally, Snoopy, Charlie Brown’s lovable dog who lives in his own private dream world, also had his “50th birthday” celebrated by China’s Snoopy fans in 2000.“I didn’t draw the cartoons only for children. Adults who have experienced life understand them better,” said the late Charles Schultz, creator of Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons.Feed me betterJamie Oliver is a young cook who wants to improve school dinners. In 2005 he went back to school to see what the children were eating.1 ______________________________Jamie asked the children what their meals were like. “We hamburgers and chips, or pizza,” they told him, “and sometimes there is fruit, but we prefer ice cream.” Jamie thought the menu was terrible. The children were eating junk food, and it was a problem. Junk food isn’t just bad for the body. Children whose midday meals were unhealthy were difficult to teach in the afternoon. Teachers said that children behaved very badly after lunch.2 _______________________________ When Jamie took vegetables into class, the children didn’t know what they were. Jamie realized that the children didn’t know about healthy food. T hen he talked to the people who worked in the kitchens. He found out that they didn’t know enough about food and health, and they didn’t have very much money to spend.3 ________________________________He decided to teach the cooks and the children about healthy food. It was hard work! He cooked healthy meals for them including meat, rice, pasta and vegetables, but a lot of the teenagers refused to eat the new food. Jamie showed them why the junk food wasn’t healthy. In the end, when Jamie persuaded them to try his cooking, they like it!4 ________________________________Jamie talked to the government. He told them they need to ban junk food from schools, train the cooks, educate the children and spend more money on school dinners. A lot of parents, teachers and children agreed with him. The newspapers wrote articles about him, and a TV programme showed his visits to the school. Jamie is a cook whose ideas are changing school dinners all over Britain.M11U2 P90Visions of the cityJo is 15 and lives in Parkville. When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville 50 years ago, it was a quiet country village in the centre of the country. At that time, they had a small house on the edge of town, with some fields and the hills in the distance.But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick, with about 200,000 people. People from the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life. And of course they needed somewhere to live. However, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge of the city. And soon, Parkville became a suburb of Arnwick. It now has over a million people. Jo’s family live in one of those new flats —there’s no room for small houses any more.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago. Jo goes to a school close to the centre of Arnwick, with 2,000 pupils. No one knows all their names.It takes Jo an hour to get to school, and this adds to the traffic a nd pollution. But it’s not her fault. She liked her old school.Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, better public transport and fewer private cars. There need to be more shops and offices. It also needs clean water and no rubbish in the street s. It’s difficult to run a big city, and to protect people from crime. So it also needs more laws and more police, and more taxes to pay for everything.Well, what do you think of all this? Do you like the things which are happening in Parkville? In fact, “Visions of the city” is just a story. But does your town have the same problems as Arnwick?

You're Sitting in My Seat!The train to Beijing! Lin often dreamed about the train, and about going to the capital. Now it was in front of him, to set off soon. He looked at his brother."Don't forget where you come from, little brother," Jin said. "And watch your bags carefully."Lin nodded, unable to speak. This was his first long trip by train at the start of his new life, leaving his village and his home for the last 16 years.He held Jin in his arms. With tears in his eyes, Jin pushed Lin away. "Go, brother. Write to us as soon as you get there, OK?"Lin jumped onto the train. There were people and bags everywhere. He pushed past them towards his seat.A young man was sitting in Lin's seat. He was wearing jeans and a very smart jacket, and was smoking a cigarette.What should he do? Six pairs of eyes looked at Lin, while the man looked out of the window."Sir, you're sitting in my seat," Lin said, with a nervous smile. The other people watched with interest.The man didn't turn to look at Lin, but just looked out of the window."Excuse me. I have a ticket with the number of the seat you're sitting in!" Lin said in a stronger voice."I also have a ticket with that number—though it is in another car. Besides, I was here first," said the man, without moving his head. Though he was sitting, he looked very tall and strong.Lin looked at the other passengers for help. "But ... " he started to say."But what?" The man turned and looked at Lin. "I'm not moving."Finally a man wearing glasses spoke in a loud voice. "This young man has the right ticket for that seat. You should move."Lin felt brave. "See? Please move. I've got a long way to go.""How long?" the young man asked."To the last stop, Beijing.""I'm getting off before you. Then you can"Hangzhou."Lin thought Hangzhou was far away."It's seven hours away from here," the man with glasses said. "Even if it's only 10 minutes, you should move."Slowly the young man stood up, dropped his cigarette on the floor, and disappeared down the train.Module 2 P12My School LifeMy name is Sally Maxwell, and I'm 15. 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 secondary school, 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 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. We spend the first 10 minutes in our classroom while our teacher checks which pupils are present or absent. Then everyone goes to the main hall. There our head teacher makes a speech and tells us any news about the school. Lessons begin at 9:05 and last for an hour. We have a break at 11:05 until 11:20, then another lesson, then lunch for an hour. We have two more lessons before school finishes.This year I have 11 subjects: maths, biology, chemistry, French, history, geography, music and IT, PHSE, ADT and PE (these stand for Information Technology; Personal Health and Safety Education; Art, Design and Technology and Physical Education). Fortunately, we don't have exams in every subject. PHSE is about the dangers of drugs and smoking, among other things. In ADT we also do things like learning to cook as well as drawing and design. Some people can do Italian and Spanish instead of French, but no one is learning Chinese ... yet! PE involves physical exercise, basketball, training in the gym and swimming—we're really lucky to have a swimming pool.I took exams when I was 7, 10, and 14 years old. Next year I take my exams in eight subjects, and then I can do between three and five subjects for the exams in my final year.We have a large sports ground where we play football, tennis and do athletics both during and after school hours. After-school activities, such asactivities, such as climbing and cycling in the country. There are parties and discos and a sports day, and the school play is a really important event. Once a term, there is a parents' meeting, so our parents and teachers can talk about our progress.What's the best thing about school? English, history, music ... and my friends. What's the worst thing? Homework ... and exams!Module 3 P20Life in the PastMrs Li is over 70 years old, and has lived in Beijing all her life. I asked her about life today and in the past.Tell me about your parents, brothers and sisters.My parents, my sister and three brothers lived in a small house beside a restaurant. We weren't very rich, but we were happy. My sister was the eldest child and she left school when she was only 12 to help my mother at home.Families have changed a lot since I was young. They were much bigger in those days. Most of my friends had lots of brothers and sisters. Today most people only have one child! Did your parents have jobs?My father went out to work. He was a factory worker, and he often worked 12 hours a day. My mum wanted to work. She was a teacher before she met my father. Looking after us was afull-time job, so she stayed at home. Today it's normal for married women to go out to work, but it was less common in the past. My father had the same job the whole of his working life. These days people change their jobs much more often. What was life like at home?Well, I remember the family meals, three times a day. My mother was always cooking for us. We weren't rich but we ate enough. And the food was always freshly cooked—my mother never bought ready-made food as people do today, so it was much better for us. And of course we didn't have television, so we played games together and read a lot. I helped my younger brother with his homework in the evenings. Where did you meet your husband?I first met him 60 years ago. I was carrying some heavy bags on my bike and I fell off! He stopped and picked up my bags. My parents liked they just hope their parents will be happy for them if they marry.Has Beijing changed?Yes, there are lots more buildings and so much more traffic! I can't believe the number of cars on the streets. But I suppose it's the same everywhere. And I walk less these days and take the bus more.And do you think life is better today?Well, I think so. I'm healthier than I've ever been. We live longer and we eat better. One dayI'll be talking to your own grandchildren! Module 4 P28-29Looking Cool1. What do you look for when you go shoppingfor clothes? Do you choose something fashionable ... or comfortable? Do you like tolook different? Or do you wear the same clothes as your friends? Do you go for this year's colours? Is it the logo—the company symbol—that catches your attention? Or maybe film stars are wearing these clothes? What helps you choose the clothes you like?2. Everyone spends money on clothes, and everyone has their personal look. The best-known clothing companies sell their "designer" clothesall over the world. But the number of these big name companies is in fact very small, and the clothes they make are more expensive than the clothes made by less well-known companies. Many people even prefer them to cheaper clothes. Why?3. Many young people today care about the way they look. They often buy "designer" clothes because they think they look cool. Then the less well-known companies make clothes which look the same. But they don't sell as well because they don't have the logo.4. People also think designer clothes are better made. For example, many people think the right running shoes will make you run faster or play better. Of course, this is not always true. It's the training—not the trainers—that improves your speed or your score. But that's not the point. People believe that it's true ... and then buy the shoes. The big companies only want to make a lot of money.5. Above all, designer clothes are more popular because of clever advertising. All of the international companies spend millions of dollars。

It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food.We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food .We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. We usually eat too much, but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes.The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New Y ork City, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy's store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoyourselves very much.Module 3 HeroesUnit 1 She trained hard, so she became a great player laterMs li: Daming, who is your hero?

He was a Canadian doctor. He came to China to help the Chinese people and died for them.Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916 and went to Spain in 1936 to treat the wounded soldiers during the war there. He soon realised that many people were dying because they did not get to hospital quickly enough. Dr Bethune developed new ways of taking care of the sick. He invented special medical tools to use outside hospitals and close to the fighting areas so that doctors could treat the wounded more quickly. His inventions saved many lives.In 1938, Dr Bethune came to China and helped treat the wounded during the Anti- Japanese War. At that time, there were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own. His experience of treating people in Spain was useful in China. He developed training courses for local doctors and nurses, and wrote books so that they could learn about how he treated the sick.Dr Bethune often worked very hard without resting or taking care of himself. Once, he even worked for sixty-nine hours without stopping and managed to save over a hundred lives. One day in 1939, he cut his finger during an operation, but he continued his work without treating it. In the end, he died of his wound.Dr Bethune's work for the Chinese people made him a hero in China. There are many books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both China and Canada today.Module 4 Home aloneUnit 1 I can look after myself, although it won’t be easy for meMum: Now, what's our train number?Dad: T27 to Lhasa. It's leaving from Platform 2.Mum: The meeting in Lhasa is very important for us, but I'm sorry you can't come with us, Betty.Betty: So am I, but I can't miss two weeks of school.Mum: Will you remember everything I've told you? Be especially careful with the door. Shut it when you're in and lock it when you go out.Betty: Y es. Mum. l can look after myself, although it won't be easy for me.Mum: Well, make sure you eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. And I've left lots of your favourite biscuits.Betty: Don't worry. I can cook simple meals.Dad : There won't be anybody to wake you up in the morning.Betty: I'll be fine. My clock rings so loudly that it will certainly wake me up.Mum: I'm sure I've forgotten something, but I don't know what it is!(Announcement: We advise all passengers for Train T27 to Lhasa to go immediately toPlatform 2. Y our train is about to leave.)Betty: That's your train! Goodbye Mum, goodbye Dad.Mum: I know! I haven’t given you our address in Lhasa!Betty': Send me a text message. Have a good trip!Mum: Bye, my dear!Betty: Bye! See you in a couple of weeks!Unit 2 I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.My "perfect holiday"As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did everything for me. Actually, they managed every minute of my life. Although they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. "Zheng Chenyu, do your homework!" "Practise the piano!" "Turn off the TV!" I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Now was my chance! I could have some fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked the games so much that I played until mid-night.The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without breakfast, but I was still late. The teacher asked me for my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball with my classmates! I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long.When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped my father's cup when I was cooking! I found myself so bad at simple cooking tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wanted Mum and Dad to come home soon. Mum cooked such delicious food, and made sure I never forgot my homework. Dad always helped me with any difficult questions, and told funny jokes when I was unhappy. Then I realised being home alone was not always perfect.When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my home alone story and we all laughed.Module 5 MuseumsUnit 1 Don’t cross that rope!(Betty, Lingling and Daming are on the second floor of a museum.)Betty: What a wonderful museum!Lingling: It's great, isn't it? Let's go to the Animal Room upstairs. I need some information for my project.Betty: Me too. Let's go. Wait, where's Daming?Lingling: There he is. What's he doing over there?Daming : Hey, Betty! Lingling! Come and see the monkey exhibition!Guard: No shouting, please! It's against the rules.Betty: Oh, no! Daming is in trouble again.Daming: Look at the monkey's tail! I've got to get in here…Gard: Stop! Don't cross that rope! Can't you see the sign, kid? "No entry."Daming: Oh. Why not?Guard: Because it's closed.Lingling: Y es, Daming. Read the sign!Daming : Oh, right. That's no good! Well, I'll just take a photo...Guard: Sorry. No photos. See?Daming: There certainly are a lot of rules in this museum. No wonder the place is empty! Betty: Daming! Don't be rude!Lingling: Oh, no!Betty: What's the matter, Lingling?Lingling: My mobile phone! I t’s missing! Oh, no! What am I going to do?Guard: Don't worry, Miss. Go downstairs to the lost and found office. They might have it. Lingling: That phone is new! I have to find it, or Mum will punish me!Betty: I'm sure it will be all right, Lingling. Let's go and see.Daming：Y es, let's go downstairs.Unit 2 If you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science MuseumThe Science Museum in LondonBy Tony SmithWelcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different... It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you.I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. Y ou can learn about communications and the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you sec inside your body.The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. Y ou can also find out how people travel into space and back again.On the fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor!The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. Y ou can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is my favourite museum in the whole world!Module 6 ProblemsUnit 1. If I start after dinner, I’ll finish it before I go to bed.Dad: Tony, you're playing the guitar again. Have you done your homework'?Tony: No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed.Anyway, you wanted me to learn an instrument.Dad: I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home from school. If you start now, you'll finish it before dinner.Tony: Y es, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do volunteer work.Dad: So you're not going to do your home work now?Tony: No, it isn’t necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.Dad: That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much.Tony: Why not? I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there.Dad: No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you won't have time to study.Tony: Y ou mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the world?Dad: That's not the point. Y ou should consider what the most important thing is. I don't want you to fail your exams.Tony: But.....Dad: Y ou can't do anything before you finish your homework. I'm sorry, but that's my last word.Unit 2 If you tell him the truth now, you will show that you are honest.Do you have a problem? Write to Diana at New Standard Magazine and ask for her advice.Dear Diana,Last week, my friend David came round with a new computer game and asked to play it on my dad’s computer. I was worried, because I should ask my dad before I use his computer. He uses it for his work, and I can only use it for my homework. The reason is that he thinks it will go wrong if I play games on it.Well, while my dad was out, we decided to try out David's game. We copied it to the comp uter, and after we finished playing, we took it off the computer. However, when I started the computer again to check if everything was OK, some of my dad's documents were missing. Then, when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. He could no longer find the documents anywhere! They were very important ones.I did not tell him about the computer game because I did not want him to be angry with me. Now I feel terrible. I am not sure whether a computer engineer can get the documents back. Should I tell him about the computer game?Should I pay to repair it?Y ours,SteveDear Steve.Oh, dear! Y ou have made two mistakes. It is bad enough that you used your dad's computer to play games when he told you not to. And it is even worse that you did not tell him about it. If you tell him the truth now, he will be angry with you, but at least you will show that you are honest.Y ou should apologise to your father. Y ou should also pay the bill to repair the computer. If you offer to give up your pocket money, your father will realise that you are very sorry.Remember, next time, play football with David and not computer games!Best wishes.DianaModule 7 Great booksUnit 1 We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideasMr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What’s up?Betty: I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.Mr Jackson: So, who are your great writers?Betty: Well, maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: Really? I accept that they’re great because their works are still read by many people today. But I think I’d describe Confucius more as a teacher and thinker than a writer.He was a very wise man. What do you have to do for the discussion?Betty: Well, each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion.Mr Jackson: I see. We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas, and Shakespeare’s plays also makea lot of sense to us today. People have always read, and will always read great books.By the way, what do you think of Mark Twain, the great American writer in thenineteenth century?Betty: He was important, but I suppose he isn’t as well-known as Confucius or Shakespeare. Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular, and one of his books is my favourite, The Adventure of Tom Sawyer.Betty: Great! Why don’t you join in the discussion and tell us about it?Unit 2 It is still read and lovedA book review of The Adventure of Tom SawyerBy Betty KingOne of my favourite great books is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain. The story is set in the town of St Petersburg, Missouri, the US, in the nineteenth century. It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.Tom, the hero of the book, lives with his aunt Polly. He is a lively and clever boy. He does not like people telling him what to do, so he always gets into trouble. He and his best friend, Huck Finn, run away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him. Later, Tom escapes from a cave with another friend, Becky. He also finds Injun Joe’s treasure box and takes it away.My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Huck start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River. At first, they are happy. But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead, they feel very sorry, so they come back home. They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours coming to their funeral in the church. Then, Tom and Huck suddenly appear. Everyone is surprised to see them at first, but very pleased to find that they are alive.The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It is more than an adventure story. Mark Twain wrote it in 1876. It describes people’s lives in the southern states of America at that time. It tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions. It is written in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and loved by people all over the world, and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.Module 8 Sports lifeUnit 1 Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last yearLingling: Hi, Tony, you look tired.Tony: Y es, I’m training for the big match next week.Betty: Who are you playing against?Tony: HAS.Lingling: What does HAS stand for?Tony: Haidian All Stars.Betty: Oh, yes. It’ll be a difficult match. Didn’t they beat you last time?Tony: Y es, they did. But…Lingling: What was the score?Betty: If my memory is correct, HAS 98 points to BIG 52.Tony: But Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last time. That was a bad decision. We can’t play well without him.Lingling: That’s no excuse!Tony: But Daming is back now. There’s no difference between the two teams this season. Betty: When is the match?Tony: It’s next Saturday at noon, but if you want good seats, you should come by 11:30. Are you coming?Betty: I’m not sure. Do you think they’ll win, Lingling?Lingling: No way! How many matches have you played against HAS this year?Tony: Well, about three.Betty: And how many have HAS won?Tony: Er… most of them.Betty: Wrong! All of them! Face the truth, Tony. Y ou’ve got no chance!Tony: I don’t agree. That’s not fair! (Tony leaves angrily.)Lingling: Remember to throw the ball, not knick it, Tony!Betty: He’s so mad at us that he’ll try harder to win, just to show we’re wrong!Lingling: Nice work, Betty! I do hope they win this time. We’ll be there to cheer for them.Unit 2 He was invited to competitions around the world.Liu Xiang---trained to win!For Liu Xiang, life as a sports hero began in 2004. First, he was invited to competitions around the world. Then, he was chosen for the Chinese team at the Athens Olympic Games and won a gold medal.Liu Xiang was not a successful sportsman at first. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July 1983, and started training when he was very young. In Grade 4, he went to the Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train for the high jump.In 1998, Liu Xiang’s ability in hurdling was noticed by Sun Haiping, who later became his coach. In 2001, a special programme was set up to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu Xiang was among them. His races were recorded, and he was compared with the world’s best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change his training methods for Liu Xiang.In May 2001, Liu Xiang won his first international 110m hurdles race in Japan. In 2004, he won the first Olympic gold medal for China in the 110m hurdles race, and at the same time broke the Olympic Games record. It was also the first time an Olympic gold medal for hurdling was hung round the neck of a sportsperson from an Asian country.Liu Xiang trained very hard. In fact, he trained so hard that he hurt his foot. From 2008 on, he suffered a lot from his foot problem, but he did not give up. Though he missed some competitions, he still returned to first place in the world 110m hurdles race in 2012.It is a pity that his foot problem stopped him from completing the 2012 London Olympic Games. But he is still a symbol of courage and success, and we continue to take great pride in him.Module 9 Great inventionsUnit 1 Will computers be used more than books in the future?Tony: Dad, can I borrow your camera?Dad: Why?Tony: I’d like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week. They’ll be put up on the school website. And they can be seen on the Internet by other classes, even people living in other countries.Dad: Sounds great! When I was at school, we waited for weeks to hear from our pen friends abroad. But today, we can send and receive photos and mails on the Internet, and it’s really fast.Tony: Y es, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives. We even use online textbooks in our class. I wonder…Will computers be used more than books in the future?Dad: Perhaps. In the past, we mainly got information from paper books. Some are huge ones with thousands of pages. Today, with the invention of the computer and the electronic technology, it’s easy to get information on the Internet. The Internet is more powerful than books. Tony: Anyway, about the camera…?Dad: Oh, yes. Here it is. I haven’t used it since your mum’s birthday. And the memory may be full.Tony: OK. That can be fixed. I’ve got an empty memory card. Where are the instructions? Dad: In the camera bag. It’s a gift from your mum for my birthday, so you must promise that you’ll take good care of it. if you have to lend it to anyone, tell them to use it properly. Tony: Promise!Unit 2 Will books be replaced by the Internet?Every morning, my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day, I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. And very night, I look at the photos of David Beckham and Y ao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make a book. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result, there were not many books, and they were expensive. So, few people had the chance to learn to read.Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply. A trade in books resulted, and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spread faster than ever before. In a way, we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast, and may become more powerful than printing. A much larger amount of information can be stored on the Internet than in books. Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find in printed forms. And the machines we use to read it are now small and light, often smaller and lighter than a single book.Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future? Will books be replaced by the Internet? Le t’s wait and see.Module 10 AustraliaUnit 1 I have some photos that I took in Australia last yearTony: Dad, I need your help. My teacher asked us to choose a country we want to visit, imagine we were there, and write a letter to our parents back home. I’ve chosen Australia. How can I do it?Dad: Don’t worry. I have some photos that I took in Australia last year. They may help you. Here we go. This is a rock called Ayers Rock, in central Australia. According to the local people, it’s a special and magical place.Tony: Oh, it looks huge. What’s its height?Dad: 348 meters. And this is the Sydney Opera House. It’s like a huge sailing boat with water on three sides. And this one is the Great Barrier Reef.Tony: Does it lie off the northeast coast of Australia?Dad: Y es, it’s over 2,600 kilometres long. It’s a great natural wonder. And here are some photos of my Australian friends. They’re sheep farmers. They wear special hats that keep the flies away.The scissors that they’re holding are used to cut the wool off the sheep. Do you know that many Australians came from Britain?Tony: Yes, of course! That’s why they speak English. Did you keep a diary while you were there? Dad: Y es, and you can read it.Tony: That’s great! And what didn’t you like about Australia?Dad: I hated the ants that were all over the place. I had to brush them off my clothes, especially my trousers!Tony: Ants in your trousers! Tha t’s really funny!Dad: It wasn’t funny at the time!Unit 2 The game that they like most is Australian footballDear Mum and Dad,I am writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment, we are staying near Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a plane tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high! During different periods of the day, the colours of the rock turn dark blue, purple, yellow and red. Ayers Rock is a centre of local Aboriginal culture. The Aborigines are the people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times, and their ancient stories descried the spirits that created the world.The Australians have a close relationship with the British. Many have British relatives, and they are like us in many ways. The foods that Australians like most are ham and beef with lots of salad. They also grow grapes and other fruits. They love all sports, but the game that they like most is Australian football. Because most Australians live near the coast, they also love going to the beach for swimming and surfing or just lying in the sun.Although it is December, it is summer over here. The sun is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the middle of the country has no trees or grass, just rocks and sand…And kangaroos!Australians speak English, but in their own way. For example, when they say “G’day!”and “No worries.”, they mean “Hello!” and “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a problem!”On the second day, we went horse riding. The horse that I rode was lazy, so I was left far behind the others. But I enjoyed the slow and relaxing ride.Later this evening, we are taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It has been a wonderful trip.。

外研社(2014新版)九年级英语上册课文（Module 1—12）Module1 Wonders of the worldUnit 1 It’s more than 2,000 years old.Tony: Let's call Wonders of the World and join in the discussion. I think natural wonders are more interesting than man-made ones. And I think the Giant'sCauseway is the most fantastic natural wonder.Lingling: Hm, I’ve never seen it, so I'm not sure I agree with you. Why do you like it, Tony?Tony: Well, I visited the Giant's Causeway two years ago. It's huge. There're about 40,000 rocks, most of them with six sides. It goes for severalhundred metres on the eastern coast of Northern IrelandLingling: That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic. They're about l,700 metres wide and 100 metres high. You canhear the loud noise a few kilometres away.Betty: Wow, that's huge! But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones. Look at the Terracotta Army. It's more than 2.000 yearsold.Daming: I agree with you, Betty. And I think the Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. It's about 2,300 metres long, 185 metres high and 15 metres wide atthe top. It produces electricity for millions of people in China. Betty: Now, who'd like to call first?Unit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big.A great wonder of the natural worldWhen I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east -- the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. "Am I going the right way?" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes," Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it.Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world - the Grand Canyon.I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself. "Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world?" I certainly know the answer. What do you think?Module 2 Public HolidaysUnit 1 My family always go somewhere interesting as soon as the holiday begins. Tony: The First of October is China's National Day, isn 't it, Lingling?Lingling: Yes. The People's Republic of China was founded on 1st October 1949.People have celebrated the National Day since then. Thereare flowers and national flags everywhere, and we have a three-dayholiday.Tony: Do you have any plans for the holiday this year?Lingling: Yes. My parents and I are going to visit some friends in Shandong Province and will stay there until the end of the holiday. While we're staying withour friends, we're going to spend one day in Qingdao. When is your nationalday, Betty'?Betty : Our national day is called Independence Day. It's on 4th July. We've celebrated it since 1777. It's a public holiday, but we only have one dayoff. On that day, there are all kinds of holiday activities. It's the startof the vacation season and most people take a vacation sometime in Julyor August.Lingling: And is there anything special on that day?Betty: Well, you can see American flags everywhere. We usually have a picnic somewhere nice. Kids have great fun. We also watch bands play music inpublic parks.Daming: Do you have a national day in the UK, Tony?Tony: No, we don't --- we celebrate Christmas with a two-day holiday. And my family always go somewhere interesting as soon as the holiday begins. Unit 2 We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers arrived in America.ThanksgivingThanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food. We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food .We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. We usually eat too much, but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes.The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy's store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.Module 3 HeroesUnit 1 She trained hard, so she became a great player laterMs li: Daming, who is your hero? Who have you chosen to tell us about? Daming: Deng Yaping! She's my hero because she's one of the best table tennis players in the world and I love playing table tennis.Ms Li: Tell us about her.Daming: Well, she started playing table tennis when she was five. She trained hard, so she became a great player later.Ms Li: And what competitions has she won?Daming: She's won many world competitions, including four gold medals in the Olympics. She stopped playing when she was twenty- four.Ms Li: What did she do after that?Darning: She began to study at Tsinghua University in Beijing and then attended university abroad. Her English wasn't good enough when she began. Once again she worked hard, and seven years later, she completed her doctor's degree at Cambridge University. Whatever she does, she never gives up!Ms Li: That's amazing!Daming: Yes. Deng says that she isn't cleverer than anyone else, but she has a very strong will.Ms Li: I see. Well. I think she's a good student as well as a good player. Daming: Yes, and she helped make the Beijing Olympics a victory for world sport.She's simply the best!Ms Li: She's a true hero.Unit 2 There were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his ownMy hero - Dr Norman BethuneBy Wang LinglingNorman Bethune is one of the most famous heroes in China. He was a Canadian doctor. He came to China to help the Chinese people and died for them.Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916 and went to Spain in 1936 to treat the wounded soldiers during the war there. He soon realised that many people were dying because they did not get to hospital quickly enough. Dr Bethune developed new ways of taking care of the sick. He invented special medical tools to use outside hospitals and close to the fighting areas so that doctors could treat the wounded more quickly. His inventions saved many lives.In 1938, Dr Bethune came to China and helped treat the wounded during the Anti- Japanese War. At that time, there were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own. His experience of treating people in Spain was useful in China. He developed training courses for local doctors and nurses, and wrote books so that they could learn about how he treated the sick.Dr Bethune often worked very hard without resting or taking care of himself. Once, he even worked for sixty-nine hours without stopping and managed to save over a hundred lives. One day in 1939, he cut his finger during an operation, but he continued his work without treating it. In the end, he died of his wound.Dr Bethune's work for the Chinese people made him a hero in China. There are many books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both China and Canada today.Module 4 Home aloneUnit 1 I can look after myself, although it won’t be easy for meMum: Now, what's our train number?Dad: T27 to Lhasa. It's leaving from Platform 2.Mum: The meeting in Lhasa is very important for us, but I'm sorry you can't come with us, Betty.Betty: So am I, but I can't miss two weeks of school.Mum: Will you remember everything I've told you? Be especially careful with the door. Shut it when you're in and lock it when you go out.Betty: Yes. Mum. l can look after myself, although it won't be easy for me. Mum: Well, make sure you eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. And I've left lots of your favourite biscuits.Betty: Don't worry. I can cook simple meals.Dad : There won't be anybody to wake you up in the morning.Betty: I'll be fine. My clock rings so loudly that it will certainly wake me up. Mum: I'm sure I've forgotten something, but I don't know what it is!(Announcement: We advise all passengers for Train T27 to Lhasa to go immediately to Platform 2. Your train is about to leave.)Betty: That's your train! Goodbye Mum, goodbye Dad.Mum: I know! I haven’t given you our address in Lhasa!Betty': Send me a text message. Have a good trip!Mum: Bye, my dear!Betty: Bye! See you in a couple of weeks!Unit 2 I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.My "perfect holiday"As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did everything for me. Actually, they managed every minute of my life. Although they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. "Zheng Chenyu, do your homework!" "Practise the piano!" "Turn off the TV!" I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Now was my chance! I could have some fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked the games so much that I played until mid-night.The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without breakfast, but I was still late. The teacher asked me for my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball with my classmates!I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long.When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped my father's cup when I was cooking! I found myself so bad at simple cooking tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wanted Mum and Dad to come home soon. Mum cooked such delicious food, and made sure I never forgot my homework. Dad always helped me with any difficult questions, and told funny jokes when I was unhappy. Then I realised being home alone was not always perfect.When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my home alone story and we all laughed.Module 5 MuseumsUnit 1 Don’t cross that rope!(Betty, Lingling and Daming are on the second floor of a museum.)Betty: What a wonderful museum!Lingling: It's great, isn't it? Let's go to the Animal Room upstairs. I need some information for my project.Betty: Me too. Let's go. Wait, where's Daming?Lingling: There he is. What's he doing over there?Daming : Hey, Betty! Lingling! Come and see the monkey exhibition!Guard: No shouting, please! It's against the rules.Betty: Oh, no! Daming is in trouble again.Daming: Look at the monkey's tail! I've got to get in here…Gard: Stop! Don't cross that rope! Can't you see the sign, kid? "No entry." Daming: Oh. Why not?Guard: Because it's closed.Lingling: Yes, Daming. Read the sign!Daming : Oh, right. That's no good! Well, I'll just take a photo...Guard: Sorry. No photos. See?Daming: There certainly are a lot of rules in this museum. No wonder the place is empty!Betty: Daming! Don't be rude!Lingling: Oh, no!Betty: What's the matter, Lingling?Lingling: My mobile phone! I t’s missing! Oh, no! What am I going to do? Guard: Don't worry, Miss. Go downstairs to the lost and found office. They might have it.Lingling: That phone is new! I have to find it, or Mum will punish me!Betty: I'm sure it will be all right, Lingling. Let's go and see.Daming： Yes, let's go downstairs.Unit 2 If you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science MuseumThe Science Museum in LondonBy Tony SmithWelcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different... It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you.I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communications and the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you sec inside your body. The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again. On the fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor!The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is my favouritemuseum in the whole world!Module 6 ProblemsUnit 1. If I start after dinner, I’ll finish it before I go to bed. Dad: Tony, you're playing the guitar again. Have you done your homework'? Tony: No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed. Anyway, you wanted me to learn an instrument. Dad: I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home from school. If you start now, you'll finish it before dinner. Tony: Yes, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do volunteer work.Dad: So you're not going to do your home work now?Tony: No, it isn’t necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.Dad: That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much. Tony: Why not? I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there. Dad: No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you won't have time to study.Tony: You mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the world?Dad: That's not the point. You should consider what the most important thing is.I don't want you to fail your exams.Tony: But.....Dad: You can't do anything before you finish your homework. I'm sorry, but that's my last word.Unit 2 If you tell him the truth now, you will show that you are honest. Do you have a problem? Write to Diana at New Standard Magazine and ask for her advice. Dear Diana,Last week, my friend David came round with a new computer game and asked to playit on my dad’s computer. I was worried, because I should ask my dad before I usehis computer. He uses it for his work, and I can only use it for my homework. Thereason is that he thinks it will go wrong if I play games on it.Well, while my dad was out, we decided to try out David's game. We copied itto the computer, and after we finished playing, we took it off the computer. However,when I started the computer again to check if everything was OK, some of my dad'sdocuments were missing. Then, when my dad used the computer last night, he was reallyangry. He could no longer find the documents anywhere! They were very important ones.I did not tell him about the computer game because I did not want him to be angrywith me. Now I feel terrible. I am not sure whether a computer engineer can get thedocuments back. Should I tell him about the computer game?Should I pay to repair it?Yours,SteveDear Steve.Oh, dear! You have made two mistakes. It is bad enough that you used your dad'scomputer to play games when he told you not to. And it is even worse thatyou did not tell him about it. If you tell him the truth now, he will be angry withyou, but at least you will show that you are honest.You should apologise to your father. You should also pay the bill to repair thecomputer. If you offer to give up your pocket money, your father will realise thatyou are very sorry.Remember, next time, play football with David and not computer games!Best wishes.DianaModule 7 Great booksUnit 1 We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideasMr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What’s up?Betty: I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.Mr Jackson: So, who are your great writers?Betty: Well, maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: Really? I accept that they’re great because their works are still read by many people today. But I think I’d describe Confucius more as ateacher and thinker than a writer. He was a very wise man. What do youhave to do for the discussion?Betty: Well, each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion.Mr Jackson: I see. We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas, and Shakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to us today. People havealways read, and will always read great books. By the way, what do youthink of Mark Twain, the great American writer in the nineteenthcentury?Betty: He was important, but I suppose he isn’t as well-known as Confucius or Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular, and one of his books is my favourite, The Adventure of Tom Sawyer.Betty: Great! Why don’t you join in the discussion and tell us about it?Unit 2 It is still read and lovedA book review of The Adventure of Tom SawyerBy Betty KingOne of my favourite great books is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain. The story is set in the town of St Petersburg, Missouri, the US, in the nineteenth century. It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.Tom, the hero of the book, lives with his aunt Polly. He is a lively and clever boy. He does not like people telling him what to do, so he always gets into trouble. He and his best friend, Huck Finn, run away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him. Later, Tom escapes from a cave with another friend, Becky. He also finds Injun Joe’s treasure box and takes it away.My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Huck start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River. At first, they are happy. But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead, they feel very sorry, so they come back home. They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours coming to their funeral in the church. Then, Tom and Huck suddenly appear. Everyone is surprised to see them at first, but very pleased to find that they are alive.The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It is more than an adventure story. Mark Twain wrote it in 1876. It describes people’s lives in the southern states of America at that time. It tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions. It is written in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and loved by peopleall over the world, and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.Module 8 Sports lifeUnit 1 Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last year Lingling: Hi, Tony, you look tired.Tony: Yes, I’m training for the big match next week.Betty: Who are you playing against?Tony: HAS.Lingling: What does HAS stand for?Tony: Haidian All Stars.Betty: Oh, yes. It’ll be a difficult match. Didn’t they beat you last time? Tony: Yes, they did. But…Lingling: What was the score?Betty: If my memory is correct, HAS 98 points to BIG 52.Tony: But Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last time. That was a bad decision.We can’t play well without him.Lingling: That’s no excuse!Tony: But Daming is back now. There’s no difference between the two teams this season.Betty: When is the match?Tony: It’s next Saturday at noon, but if you want good seats, you should come by 11:30. Are you coming?Betty: I’m not sure. Do you think they’ll win, Lingling?Lingling: No way! How many matches have you played against HAS this year? Tony: Well, about three.Betty: And how many have HAS won?Tony: Er… most of them.Betty: Wrong! All of them! Face the truth, Tony. You’ve got no chance!Tony: I don’t agree. That’s not fair! (Tony leaves angrily.)Lingling: Remember to throw the ball, not knick it, Tony!Betty: He’s so mad at us that he’ll try harder to win, just to show we’re wrong! Lingling: Nice work, Betty! I do hope they win this time. We’ll be there to cheer for them.Unit 2 He was invited to competitions around the world.Liu Xiang---trained to win!For Liu Xiang, life as a sports hero began in 2004. First, he was invited to competitions around the world. Then, he was chosen for the Chinese team at the Athens Olympic Games and won a gold medal.Liu Xiang was not a successful sportsman at first. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July 1983, and started training when he was very young. In Grade 4, he went to the Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train for the high jump.In 1998, Liu Xiang’s ability in hurdling was noticed by Sun Haiping, who later became his coach. In 2001, a special programme was set up to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu Xiang was among them. His races were recorded, and he was compared with the world’s best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change his training methods for Liu Xiang.In May 2001, Liu Xiang won his first international 110m hurdles race in Japan. In 2004, he won the first Olympic gold medal for China in the 110m hurdles race, and at the same time broke the Olympic Games record. It was also the first time an Olympic gold medal for hurdling was hung round the neck of a sportsperson from an Asian country.Liu Xiang trained very hard. In fact, he trained so hard that he hurt his foot. From 2008 on, he suffered a lot from his foot problem, but he did not give up. Thoughhe missed some competitions, he still returned to first place in the world 110m hurdles race in 2012.It is a pity that his foot problem stopped him from completing the 2012 London Olympic Games. But he is still a symbol of courage and success, and we continue to take great pride in him.Module 9 Great inventionsUnit 1 Will computers be used more than books in the future? Tony: Dad, can I borrow your camera?Dad: Why?Tony: I’d like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week.They’ll be put up on the school website. And they can be seen on the Internet by other classes, even people living in other countries.Dad: Sounds great! When I was at school, we waited for weeks to hear from our pen friends abroad. But today, we can send and receive photos and mails on the Internet, and it’s really fast.Tony: Yes, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives. We even use online textbooks in our class. I wonder… Will computers be used more than books in the future?Dad: Perhaps. In the past, we mainly got information from paper books. Some are huge ones with thousands of pages. Today, with the invention of the computer and the electronic technology, it’s easy to get information on the Internet.The Internet is more powerful than books.Tony: Anyway, about the camera…?Dad: Oh, yes. Here it is. I haven’t used it since your mum’s birthday. And the memory may be full.Tony: OK. That can be fixed. I’ve got an empty memory card. Where are the instructions?Dad: In the camera bag. It’s a gift from your mum for my birthday, so you must promise that you’ll take good care of it. if you have to lend it to anyone, tell them to use it properly.Tony: Promise!Unit 2 Will books be replaced by the Internet?Every morning, my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day, I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. And very night, I look at the photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make a book. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result, there were not many books, and they were expensive. So, few people had the chance to learn to read.Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply.A trade in books resulted, and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spreadfaster than ever before. In a way, we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast, and may become more powerful than printing. A much larger amount of information can be stored on the Internet than in books. Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find in printed forms. And the machines we use to read it are now small and light, often smaller and lighter than a single book.Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future? Will books be replaced by the Internet? Le t’s wait and see.Module 10 AustraliaUnit 1 I have some photos that I took in Australia last year Tony: Dad, I need your help. My teacher asked us to choose a country we want to visit, imagine we were there, and write a letter to our parents back home. I’ve chosen Australia. How can I do it?Dad: Don’t worry. I have some photos that I took in Australia last year. They may help you. Here we go. This is a rock called Ayers Rock, in central Australia.According to the local people, it’s a special and magical place.Tony: Oh, it looks huge. What’s its height?Dad: 348 meters. And this is the Sydney Opera House. It’s like a huge sailing boat with water on three sides. And this one is the Great Barrier Reef.Tony: Does it lie off the northeast coast of Australia?。

As a special gift, our parents took us to India. Last weekend was interesting but scary.We went camping in a small village in India. First, we took a long bus ride to a lake in the countryside. There we put up our tents and made a fire to keep us warm and cook food on. On the first night, we just sat under the moon and told each other stories. But I was so tired that I went to sleep early.The next morning, my sister and I got terrible surprise. When we looked out of our tent, we saw a big snake sleeping near the fire. I was so scared that I couldn't move. We shouted to our parents to let them know about the danger. My dad started to jump up and down in their tent. This woke the snake up and it moved into the forest near the lake. My dad told me later that snakes don't have ears but can feel things moving. He also told me it was important not to go near a snake. This was a very useful lesson for me.。

Last weekend was interesting but scary.We went camping in a small village in India. First, we took a long bus ride to a lake in the countryside. There we put up our tents and made a fire to keep us warm and cook food on. On the first night, we just sat under the moon and told each other stories. But I was so tired that I went to sleep early.The next morning, my sister and I got terrible surprise. When we looked out of our tent, we saw a big snake sleeping near the fire. I was so scared that I couldn’t move. We shouted to our parents to let them know about the danger. My dad started to jump up and down in their tent. This woke the snake up and it moved into the fores t near the lake. My dad told me later that snakes don’t have ears but can feel things moving. He also told me it was important not to go near a snake. This was a very useful lesson for me.。

Here are three basic question s.The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I lik e watching English films and listening to English songs, but I can only understand a little.

It is on the River Cam and has a pop ulation of about 120,000. My home is especially famous for its university. Many famous people stu died here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and churches t o visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the River T hames. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cambri dge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge. England itself is a part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and beache s on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low and beautiful lakes in the nort h, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice how green t he countryside is.It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter.

Come and watch the football match on TV.Tony: OK. What’s the scoreDaming: Spain scored a minute ago.Tony: Wow! That’s fast!Daming: That’s right.

And I hurt my knee.Daming: That’s too bad! Sit down and watch the match. It’s safer than playing tennis.Betty: Yes, watching is not sure about that.

Nothing is more enjoyable than playing tennis.Betty: But you enjoyed watching the Olympics on TV, rightTony: Yes, but that’s because it was cheaper than buying tickets for all the games.Daming: And staying at home was easier than going to the stadium. Oh, look at that!Tony: Oh, he missed! Oh, bad luck!Daming: Never mind. There’s still plenty of time for them to score.Unit2 This year we practice more carefully.Training hardBy Li DamingIt is Saturday tomorrow, but I am going to school. I am not going for lessons, but to play football. I am in our school team and we are going to play against another scho ol next week. The practice starts at 10 am. We all arrive as early as we can so that w e have time to warm up. We are training harder than usual because the other team beat us last year. This year we want to do better.It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are short and the weather i s cold too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be late for after-school practic e.Our coach is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year we wer e sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team in the f inal match. What a pity! This year we practise more carefully. That means we have a better chance of winning.The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to play well so that we have more fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our fans around. They cheer us on loud ly and we feel more confident to win the game.Module 4 Planes, ships, and trainsUnit1 He lives the farthest from schoolBetty: I was late for school today.Mum: Why What happenedBetty: I took the bus. There was a road accident, and the traffic was very heavy. But nobody was late, except me. Maybe I should go to school by taxi.Mum: It’s the most comfortable way, but it’s also the most expensive.Betty: Then what about going by bikeMum: That’s a good choice, but it’s a bit dangerous. There’s so much traffic. Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, and it’s quite safe. Don’t worry. I’ll be c arefull.Mum: How does Tony go to schoolBetty: He lives the farthest from school, so he takes the underground.Mum: And what about LinglingBetty: Her home is the closest to school, so she walks.Mum: How about DamingBetty: He goes by bus too, the same as me. But it’s so crowded! And the traffic is heavy.Mum: All right. You can ride your bike to school, but remember to be careful all the t ime.Unit2 What is the best way to travelQuestion: What is the best way to travel from London to Amsterdam.I am planning to travel from London to Amsterdam. How long does the journey take and what is the best way to travel Could you please tell me about the trains or ships to get there The more information, the better. Thanks!Best answer: There are four ways to travel.A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more expensive. Whe n you go by train, buy your ticket a long time before you travel. It is usually cheaper.You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the most expensive. Book your ticket before you book your h otel. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside the cit y centre and travel in by bus or by train.The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest, but in summer the coac hes sometimes get crowded! And it takes you about twelve hours to get there. How ever, it will not cost as much as going by train.Finally, you can fly. It is the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have t o wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip.Module 5 Lao She TeahouseUnit 1 I wanted to see the Beijing Opera.Listen and readBetty: Lingling and I went to Lao She Teahouse last night.Tony: How was itBetty: It was great!

Lingling: It’s sad to think of the pandas and other animals in danger.Betty: We need to protect them better.Lingling: Yes, Many wild animals don’t have a safe place to live, because villages and farms are growing bigger and are taking away their land and forests.Betty: Also, often there isn’t enough clean water, because we’ve made it dirty. I thin k we all need to help animals live in peace. Look, there’s a notice.Lingling: It says,“Help! We want to save animals in danger, and we need your help.”Betty: But what can we doLingling: It says,“Your money pays to look after the animals.”That means we can give money to help protect the animals.Betty: Maybe we can raise some money at school. Let’s find out what else we can d o to save as many animals as possible.Unit 2 The WWF is working hard to save them all.2 Read the passage and match the heading with the paragraphs.Nature parks for pandasb) WWF And animals in dangerc) The panda’s homed) An animal in danger1Pandas are in danger. There are only about 1,600 pandas living in the wild today. Zo os and research centres are looking after about 340 pandas. Pandas do not have ma ny babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is getting very difficult. Scientist are doing a lot of research to help pandas produce more babies and help baby pand as live.2Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. Each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pandas are losing their home. And there are not many pandas left.3In order to protect pandas in the wild, the government is setting up nature parks an d developing other plans. The nature parks will be big and there will be more bambo o to feed the pandas. Pandas born in zoos may go back to live in the nature parks.4The World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) wants to protect all animals. And it chose th e panda to be its symbol. We do not want to lose tigers, elephants, or any other ani mals, so the WWF is working hard to save them all.Module7 A famous storyUnit1 Alice was sitting with her sister by the river.Tony: Hi,Lingling!Lingling: Ssh!

But in the West, we usually don’t pay much attention to that.Betty: That’s interesting! I’m interested to know all the Chinese traditions. Tell me m ore.Lingling: There are a lot. For example, in my home town, people say you mustn’t do any cleaning on the first day of the Spring Festival. And you mustn’t break anything. It’s bad luck!Daming: You must only use red paper for hongbao because red means luck. And you ’d better not cut your hair during the Spring Festival month.Daming: And in the north of China, people eat lots of jiaozi!Betty: Perfect! They taste great.Tony: I like eating jiaozi too.

Module 1 How to learn EnglishUnit 1 Let’s try to speak English as much as possible .Ms James: Welcome back, everyone! Today, we’re going to talk abou t good ways to learn English. Ready Who has some adviceLingling: We should always speak English in class.Ms James: Good! Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.Daming: Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooks Ms James: That’s a good idea. And don’t forget to write down t he correct answers next to the mistakes. What elseLingling: It’s a good idea to spell and pronounce new words alou d every day.Ms James: Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the radi oLingling: Yes, that’s good for our pronunciation too. But there a re so many new word. Ms James: You don’t need to understand every word. You just need to listen for key words and main ideas.Daming: That’s the same for reading. English stories are so inter esting. I get to know a lot about the world through reading.Lingling: I think writing is also important. Why don’t we try to find some English pen friends We can write to them. Ms James: Exce llent! I agree with you.Unit 2 You should smile at her!Send your questions to Diana, the Language Doctor.Many students ask for advice about how to improve their En glish. Here are three basic questions.The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I like watching English films and listening to English songs, but I can only understand a little. Wha t can I do”Watching films and listening to songs are great way to lea rn English! Watch and listen several times, and guess the meaning of the new words. Each time you will learn something new. I also advi se you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote, “Our school has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I do”You can say, “Hello!How are you”“Do you like China”These are good ways to start a conversation. And before you begin, you sho uld smile at her! Remember this: Do not be shy. Just try.The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote, “I write down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I r emember them”Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of paper and place them i n your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them .Module 2 My home town and my countryUnit 1 It’s taller than many other buildings.Tony: Hey, Daming! How was your weekendDaming: Pretty good! I went to Shenzhen.Tony: Where’s ShenzhenDaming: Well, it’s on the coast near Hong Kong.

In fact, it only became importan t in the ’s getting bigger and busier. Some day it will become as busy as Hong Kong, I’m sure.Tony: What’s the population of ShenzhenDaming: It’s over ten million, I think. That’s larger than the population of many other cities in China. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. I think it’s a beautiful city.Tony: I’d like to go to there one day.Daming: Remember to visit the Diwang Tower. It’s taller than many other buildings in Shenzhen.Unit 2 Cambridge is a beautiful city in the east ofEngland.Cambridge, London and EnglandBy Tony SmithI come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is on the River Cam and has a population of about 120,000. My h ome is especially famous for its university. Many famous people studie d here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and churches to visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the River Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cambri dge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Bu ckingham Palace and Tower Bridge.England itself is a part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and beaches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low and beautiful lakes in the north, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere i n England you will notice how green the countryside is.It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the year, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days.Module 3 SportsUnit 1 Nothing is more exciting than playing tennis .Daming: Hey, Tony. Come and watch the football match on TV.Tony: OK. What’s the scoreDaming: Spain scored a minute ago.Tony: Wow! That’s fast!Daming: That’s right. Last week the match on TV was so boring b ecause no one scored at all.

And I h urt my knee.Daming: That’s too bad! Sit down and watch the match. It’s safe r than playing tennis.Betty: Yes, watching is not sure about that. Nothing is more rela xing too!Tony: Well, I’m not sure about that. Nothing is more enjoyable t han playing tennis.Betty: But you enjoyed watching the Olympics on TV, right Tony: Yes, but that’s because it was cheaper than buying tickets for all the games.Daming: And staying at home was easier than going to the stadium.Oh, look at that!Tony: Oh, he missed! Oh, bad luck!Daming: Never mind. There’s still plenty of time for them to sco re.Unit2 This year we practice more carefully.Training hardBy Li Daming It is Saturday tomorrow, but I am going to school. I am not going for lessons, but to play football. I am in our school team and we are going to play against another school next week. The practice starts at 10 am. We all ar rive as early as we can so that we have time to warm up . We are training harder than usual because the other team beat us last year. This year we want to do better.It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are short and the weather is cold too. It gets dar k earlier, so it is important not to be late for after-sc hool practice.Our coach is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year we were sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team in the fin al match. What a pity! This year we practise more carefull y. That means we have a better chance of winning.The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to p lay well so that we have more fans to watch the matches.It is good to have our fans around. They cheer us on l oudly and we feel more confident to win the game.Module 4 Planes, ships, and trainsUnit1 He lives the farthest from schoolBetty: I was late for school today.Mum: Why What happenedBetty: I took the bus. There was a road accident, and the traffic was very heavy. But nobody was late, except me. Maybe I should go to school by taxi.Mum: It’s the most comfortable way, but it’s also the most expensive.Betty: Then what about going by bikeMum: That’s a good choice, but it’s a bit dangerous.There’s so much traffic.Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, and it’s quite safe. Don’t worry. I’l l be carefull.Mum: How does Tony go to schoolBetty: He lives the farthest from school, so he takes the underground.Mum: And what about LinglingBetty: Her home is the closest to school, so she walks .Mum: How about DamingBetty: He goes by bus too, the same as me. But it’s so crowded! And the traffic is heavy.Mum: All right. You can ride your bike to school, but remember to be careful all the time.Unit2 What is the best way to travel Question: What is the best way to travel from London t o Amsterdam.I am planning to travel from London to Amsterdam. How long does the journey take and what is the best way to t ravel Could you please tell me about the trains or ships to get there The more information, the better. Thanks!Best answer: There are four ways to travel.A journey by train is more relaxing than by coac h, but a lot more expensive. When you go by train, buy y our ticket a long time before you travel. It is usually cheaper. You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the most expensive. Book your ticket before you book your hotel. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very ex pensive, so stay outside the city centre and travel in by bus or by train.The third choice is by coach. This is usually th e cheapest, but in summer the coaches sometimes get crowded ! And it takes you about twelve hours to get there. Howev er, it will not cost as much as going by train.Finally, you can fly. It is the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip.Module 5 Lao She TeahouseUnit 1 I wanted to see the Beijing Opera.Listen and readBetty: Lingling and I went to Lao She Teahouse last night.Tony: How was itBetty: It was great!

I think we all need to help animals live in peace. Look, there’s a notice.Lingling: It says,“Help!We want to save animals in da nger, and we need your help.”Betty: But what can we doLingling: It says,“Your money pays to look after the a nimals.”That means we can give money to help protect theanimals.Betty: Maybe we can raise some money at school.

Pandas born in zoos may go back to live in the nature parks.4The World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) wants to protect all animals. And it chose the panda to be its symbol.

人教版九年级英语课文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第1 页共52 页serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked 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第2 页共52 页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. Remember, “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第3 页共52 页answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a life-long journey because every day brings something 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. Ifyou________ well for a test,第4 页共52 页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 families 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 Yi planned to drink it with Chang’e. However, a bad man, Feng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home.第5 页共52 页Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She became very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was so 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 give similar gift s to their parents. I believe that there are man y ways to show our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good第6 页共52 页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.第7 页共52 页That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and 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 the第8 页共52 页birth of new life. Hens________eggs, giving birth to life. So an egg is a symbol of new life. A popular activity 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?第9 页共52 页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 and it’s ac tually fun!He Wei: Do you want to go to Water World now?Alice: Sure, but I’m really hungry. Do you know 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.第10 页共52 页He Wei: Maybe we can c ome here for 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 litt le 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 similar 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第11 页共52 页expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this 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 your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail ad dress.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first 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 3a第12 页共52 页From Shy Girl to Pop Star1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I _____________ 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and ________ _____ ____________ to deal with her ___________. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy___________ 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 time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get ______ ____ attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I_________ _____ others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much ___________ time anymore. Hanging out with friends ____ almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people________ wa nt to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine ______ difficult the第13 页共52 页road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really ________ a lot of talent and hard work to _________. Only a very small number of people 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 his parents influenced his way of thinking. Li Wen lives in the Sichuan countryside. As a small child, he seldom gave his parents any problems, and they were proud of him. However, _________, the boy’s life became more d ifficult. 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第14 页共52 页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 how much they had given me. They 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 that since my parents moved away, I’ve been afraid of being alone, and have tried to make my parents pay more attention 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 about himself. “It’s very important for parents to be there for their children,” Li Wen says.P31 2e第15 页共52 页Li 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 you buy? 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第16 页共52 页those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from 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 t o 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 six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans 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 flags 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第17 页共52 页things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, 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 so small 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第18 页共52 页clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. 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第19 页共52 页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 anyway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the world’s favorite drink s 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第20 页共52 页didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from 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. The first sentence that_______ (say) on the telephone by Alexander was “Mr. Watson, come here; I want to see you.” Today the telephone____________ (use) around the world.P45 1dThe History of Potato ChipsDid you know that potato chips were invented by mistake? Potato chips____________by a cook called第21 页共52 页George Crum. They were invented in________. George Crum cut the potatoes really, really__________and then cooked them for a long time until they were__________ . Andhe put lots of salt on them so they were____________ .p46 2bDo You Know When BasketballWas Invented?Basketball is a much-loved and active sport more than 100 million people in over 200 countries. In China, you can sometimes see people playing basketball in parks, schools and even in factories.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was at college, his teacher asked the class to think of a game that can be played in the winter. Dr. Naismith created a game to be played inside on a hard floor. Dr. Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them to play his new game. The purpose of the game is for players to get a ball into the “basket”. Players on the same team must work together to help each other get the ball in the other team’s basket. At the same time,第22 页共52 页they need to stop the competing team from getting the ball into their own basket.It is believed that on December 21, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an event at the Olympics. Today, the popularity of basketball has risen around the world, with many young people dreaming of becoming famous players. Basketball has not only become a popular sport to play, it has also become a more popular sport to watch.Although America’s NBA games are the most famous, the CBA games are becoming popular in China. The number of foreign players, including Chinese players, in the NBA has increased. And there are also more and more foreign players in the CBA. Many young people look up to these basketball heroes and want to become like them. These stars encourage young people to work hard to achieve their dreams.P48 Self Check 1It is often difficult to decide on the inventor of certain inventions. This is because sometimes a few people第23 页共52 页may_______things which are_______the same. Opinions are then_______ about who came up with the idea first. Some inventions can also all of a_______lead to other inventions. So some people_______whether the inventor came up with the idea himself or herself. They think that the inventor used someone else’s idea to create his or her invention. That is why books or websites usually ________more than one inventor when giving information about inventions.Unit7 Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.P51 3aMom Knows BestWhen I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my sideWhen I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep inWhen I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from dangerWhen I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me upWhen I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me第24 页共52 页But I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”When I was nine watching scary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreamsBut I shouted back angrily, “I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”But I talked back again —“I should not be told what to do!I’m seventeen now!”Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those timesI coughed for days after eating that ice-creamAnd had scary dreams after watching that filmI was late for school from staying out past tenI regret talking back, not listening to MomMom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!P52 4bShould teenagers _________(ask) to move out when they start working? In many Western countries,第25 页共52 页teenagers_______ (allow) to move out at sixteen or seventeen. Their parents believe that theyshould__________ (educate) to take care of themselves from a young age. This way, when they_______ (start) working they can manage their own lives. However, in most Asian societies, the family unit is especially strong. So it is not common for teenagers to_______ (move) out. Chinese parents believe that it is better for children to live with parents who can_______(take) care of them. But the young should then look after their parents as they get older. That is why many Chinese adults ______(continue) to live with their parents.P54 2bShould I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions?Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. However, his parents won’t allow him to train so much.第26 页共52 页“Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu. “And we know how much he loves running. My wife and I have supported every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs to think about other possible jobs. He’s getting older now, so he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t end up a professional runner.”Liu Yu doesn’t really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,”he says. “My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I’m serious about running. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don’t allow him to practice running at night. “Maybe he thinks it’s too strict or unfair,”says Mrs. Liu. “But we think we’re doing the right thing. He needs to spend more time on his homework because becoming a professional sports star is a difficult dream.”But Liu Yu still disagrees. “I know my parents care about me. They always talk about what will happen if I don’t succeed. But I will! I’m a quick runner! I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself. Only then第27 页共52 页will I have a chance to achieve my dream.”Unit8 It must belong to Carla.P59 3aWe live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quiet and nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days, something unusual is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don’t think so!”Victor’s next-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. “At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, either. So I guess it can’t be a dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something running away, but it was dark so she is not sure. “I think it was too big to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.”第28 页共52 页。

exercise？多久锤炼一次{身材}？Last month we asked our students about their free time activities.Our questions were about exercise,use of the Internet and watching TV.Here are the results成果We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day.Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week.Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week.And twenty percent do not exercise at allWe all know that many students often go online,but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day.The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week.Most students use it for fun and not for homeworkThe answers to our questions about watching television were also interesting.Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week.Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week.And eighty-five percent watch TV every day！although many students like to watch sports,game shows are the most popular.It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows,but we think the best way to relax is through exercise.Itis healthy for the mind and the body.Exercise such as playing sports is fun,and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together.And remember,‘old habits die hard’旧习难改,So start exercising before it’s too late！Unit 3 I’m more outgoing有好的,爽朗的than my sister,比较Passages可数名词信息My mother told me

in American culture is a cartoon.We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears---Mickey Mouse.Over 80years ago,he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie.When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18,1928,it was the first cartoon with sound and music.The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney.He became very rich and successful.In the 1930s,he made 87cartoons with Mickey.Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular.One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man,but he always tried to face any danger.In his early films,Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend,Minnie.However,he was always ready to try his best.People went to the cinema to see the ‘little man’win.Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.On November 18,1978,Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star是定语on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.Today’scartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse,but everyone

promises to other people.（“mom,I promise I’m going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”）however,promises you make to yourself are resolutions,and the most common kind is New Year’s resolutions.The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions.When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year,we hope that we are going to improve our lives.Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year.This helps them to remember their resolutions.Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.There are different kinds of resolutions.Some are about physical health.For example,some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food.Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement.These are about making yourself a better person.Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos,or learn to play the guitar.Some resolutions have to do with better planning,like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.For example,astudent may have to find more time to study.Although there are differences,most resolutions have one thing in common有一个配合点.People hardly ever keep them！There are good reasons for this.Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.Sometimes people just forget about them.For this reason,some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions！How about you----will you make any next year？Unit 7 Will people have robots机械人,照样在评论辩论未来的事Unit 8 how do you make a banana milk

a long,hard winter,and many of them died.In the next autumn,they gave thanks for life and food in their new home.These days,most Americans still celebrate this idea of giving thanks by having a big meal at home with their family.The main dish of this meal is almost always turkey,a large bird.Turkey土耳其Turkish,chicken鸡breakfast,lunch,dinner,supper,a mealMaking a turkey dinnerHere is one way to

problems with their schoolwork,and sometimes with their friends.What can they do about this？some people believe the worst thing is to do ura Mills,a teenager from London,agrees.‘Problems and worries are normal in life,’says Laura.‘But I think talking to someone helps a lot.Unless we talk to someone,we’ll certainly feel worse.’Laura once lost her wallet,and worried for days.She was afraid to tell her parents about it.She even walked three miles to schooleach day because she didn’t have any money.She just kept thinking,‘If I tell my parents,they’ll be angry！’In the end,she talked to her parents and they were really understanding.Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself.They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful.‘I will always remember to share my problems in the future！’Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems.He feels the same way as Laura.‘It is best not to run away from our problems.We should always try to solve them.’he thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to.This person doesn’t need to be an expert like himself.Students often forget that their parents have more experience,and are always there to help them.In English,we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half.So you’re halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it！八年级下册UNIT 1 What's the matter? Bus Driver and Passengers Save an Old ManAt 9:00 a.m. yesterday, bus No. 26 was going along Zhonghua Road when the driver saw an old man lying on the side of the road. A woman was next to him, shouting for help. {Shout out to}The bus driver, 24-year-old Wang Ping, stopped the bus without thinking twice. He got off and asked the woman what happened. Shesaid that the man had a heart problem and should go to the hospital. Mr. Wang knew he had to act quickly. He told the passengers that he must take the man to the hospital. He expected most or all of the passengers to get off and wait for the next bus.But to his surprise, they all agreed to go with him. Some passengers helped Mr. Wang to move the man onto the bus.Thanks to Mr. Wang and the passengers, the doctors saved the man in time. "It's sad that many people don't want to help others because they don’t want any trouble," says one passenger. "But the driver didn't think about himself. He only thought about saving a life."He Lost His Arm But Is Still ClimbingAron Ralston is an American man who is interested in mountain climbing. As a mountain climber, Aron is used to taking risks. This is one of the exciting things about doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents. On April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very dangerous situation when climbing in UtahOn that day, Aron's arm was caught under a 360-kilo rock that fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life.He was not ready to die that day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help.After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and a Hard Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of. In this book, Aron tells of the importance of making good decisions, and of being in control of one's life. His lose for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience.Do we have the same spirit as Aron? Let's think about it before we find ourselves “between a rock and a hard place”, and before we have to make a decision that could mean life or death.Unit 2 I'll help to clean up the city parks Students Who VolunteerMario Green and Mary Brown from Riverside High School give up several hours each week to help others. Mario loves animals and wants to be an animal doctor. He volunteers at an animal hospital every Saturday morning. Mario believes it can help him to get his future dream job. “ It' s hard work , ” he says , “but I want to learn more about how to care for animals . I get such a strong feeling of satisfaction when I see the animals get better and the look of joy on their owners' faces.”Mary is a book lover. She could read by herself at the age of four. Last year she decided to try out for a volunteer after-school reading program .she still works there once a week to help kids learn to read. The kids are sitting in the library, but you can see in their eyes that they’re going on a different journey with each new book. Volunteering here is a dream come true for me.I can do what I love to do and help others at the same time. Dear Miss Li, I’d li ke to thank you for sending money to Animal Helpers. I’m sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. You helped to make it possible for me to have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my life. Let me tell you my story.What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you can’t walk or use your hands easily. Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties. I can’t use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out. She talked to Animal Helpers about getting me a special trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I love animals and I was excited about the idea of having a dog.After six months of training with a dog at Animal Helpers, I was able to bring him home. My dog’s name is Lucky — a good namefor him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-hel per” because of your kindness! Lucky is very clever and understands many English words. He can understand me when I give him orders. For example, I say, “Lucky! Get my book,” and he does it at once.Lucky is a fantastic dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me. Thank you again for changing my life. Best wishes, Ben SmithUnit 3 Could you please clean your room?Last month, our dog welcomed me when I came home from school. He wanted a walk, but I was too tired.I threw down my bag and went to the living room. The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over. “Could you please take the dog for a walk?” she asked.“Could I watch one show first?” I asked. “NO!” she replied angrily. “You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house! I can’t work all day and do housework all evening.”“Well, I work all day at school, too! I’m just as tired as you are!” I shouted back.My mom did not say anything and walked away. For one week, she did not do any housework and neither did I. Finally, I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.The next day, my mom came home from work to find the house cleanand tidy.“What happened?” she asked in surprise.“I’m so sorry, Mom. I finally understand that we need to sh are the housework to have a clean and comfortable home,” I replied. Dear Sir,I don’t understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They don’t have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there’s no need for them to do it now. It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I don’t mind doing them.Ms. MillerDear Sir,I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It’s not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They’re always asking, “Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helpsto develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbor’s son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future. Mr. SmithUnit 4 Why don’t you talk to your parents? Dear Mr. Hunt,My problem is I can’t get on with my family. Relations between my parents have become difficult. They fight a lot, and I really don’t like it. It’s the only communication they have. I don’t know if I should say anything to them about this. When they argue, it’s like a big, black cloud hanging over our home. Also, my elder brother is not very nice to me. He always refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show. Instead he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I don’t think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do? Sad and ThirteenDear Sad and Thirteen,It’s not easy being your age, and it’s normal to have these feelings. Why don’t you talk about these feelings with your。
