Huan Chen: Well, Sally, thank you. I wish you good luck and concert ... (They stop.) That sounds good! This recording will be the result of some part of the program. By the way, why do not you bring all your friends to Beijing radio stations? Maybe some time next week?

It was great to hear from you, and I can’t wait to meet you.1 hope you will know me from my photo when I arrive at the airport. I’m quite tall, with short fair hair, and I wear glasses. I’ll wear jeans and a T-shirt for the journey, but I’ll also carry my warm coat. I’ve got your photo — you look very pretty. So I’m sure we’ll find each other!Thanks for telling me about your hobbies. You sound just like me! I spend a lot of time playing classical music with my friends at school, but I also like dance music — I love dancing! I enjoy sports as well, especially tennis. My brother is in the school tennis team —I’m very proud of him! He’s good at everything, but I’m not. Sometimes I get bad marks at school, and I feel sad. I should work harder.You asked me, “How do you feel about coming to China?” Well, I often feel a bit sad at first when I leave my mum and dad for a few days, and I’m quite shy when I’m with strangers. I feel nervous when I speak Chinese, but I’ll be fine in a few days. I’m always sorry when I don’t know how to do things in the right way, so please help me when I’m with you in China! Oh, I’m afraid of flying too. But I can't tell you how excited I am about going to China!See you next week!Love,SallyUnit 1Tony: Hi, Lingling.

And maybe you will win a prize.Lingling: Yes, The first prize is “My dream holiday”.Tony: Have you ever won any prizes before?Lingling: No, I haven’t. I’ve always wanted to go on a dream holiday. But I can’t afford it. The plane tickets are too expensive.Tony: Well, good luck! I’ve also entered lots of speaking competitions, but haven’t won any prizes. I’v e stopped trying now.Lingling: That’s a pity. Have you ever thought about other kinds of competitions?Tony: What do you mean?Lingling: Look! Here’s a writing competition Around the World in 80 Days. To win it, you need to write a short story about a place you’ve visited.Tony: That sounds wonderful, but I’ve never travelled much. How can I write about it?Lingling: Don’t worry. It doesn’t need to be true! You can make it up.Tony: That’s interesting. I’ll try. I hope I will win, then I will invite you to come with me.Lingling: Sorry! The first prize is only the book called Around the World in 80 Days!Unit 2Mike Robinson is a fifteen-year-old American boy and his sister Clare is fourteen. At the moment, Mike and Clare are in Cairo in Egypt, one of the biggest and busiest cities in Africa.They moved here with their parents two years ago. Their father, Peter, works for a very big company. The company has offices in many countries, and it has sent Peter to work in Germany, France and China before. Peter usually stays in a country for about two years. Then the company moves him again. His family always goes with him.The Robinsons love seeing the world. They have been to many interesting places. For example, in Egypt, they have seen the Pyramids, travelled on a boat on the Nile River, and visited the palaces and towers of ancient kings and queens.Mike and Clare have also begun to learn the language of the country, Arabic. This language is different from English in many ways, and they find it hard to spell and pronounce the words. However, they still enjoy learning it. So far they have learnt to speak German, French, Chinese and Arabic. Sometimes they mix the languages. It’s really fun,” said Clare.The Robinsons are moving again. The company has asked Peter to work back the US. Mike and Clare are happy about this. They have friends all over the world, but they also miss their friends in the US. They are counting down the days.Unit 1Daming: Hi, Tony. What are you up to?Tony: Hi, Daming. I’ve just made a model spaceship for our school projectDaming: 1 haven’t started yet because I’m not sure how to make it Can you help me?Tony: Sure, no problem. Have you heard the latest news? Scientists have sent a spaceship to Mars. The journey has taken several months.Daming: Has it arrived yet?Tony: Yes, it has arrived already. That’s why it’s on the news.Daming: So have they discovered life on Mars?Tony: No, they haven’t yet.Daming: Are there any astronauts in the spaceship?Tony: No, there aren’t.Daming: Why? Astronauts have already been to the moon.Tony: Yes, but no one has been to Mars yet, because Mars is very far away, much farther than the moon. Lots of scientists are working hard in order to send astronauts to Mars one day.Dam ing: That’s interesting! How can I get information on space travel?Tony: You can go online to search for information.Daming: I will. Thank you, Tony!Unit 2Scientists think that there has been life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet of Mars to take photos. They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy. Scientists have always asked the questions: with so man y st ars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? Why has no one communicated with us? We do not know the answers…yet.Unit 1Doctor:How can I help you?Darning: I feel ill. I’ve got a stomachache and my head hurts.Doctor:How long have you been like this?Darning: Since Friday. I’ve been ill for about three days!Doctor:I see. Have you caught a cold?Darning: I don’t think so.Doctor: Let me take your temperature… Mm, there’s no fever. What kind of food do you eat?Darning: Usually fast food.Doctor:Do you have breakfast?Darning: No, not usually.Doctor: That’s the problem! Fast food and no breakfast. That’s why you’ve got a stomachache.Darning: What about the headache?Doctor: Do you do any exercise?Darning:Not really. I haven’t done mu ch exercise since I got my compute last year.Doctor: You spend too much time in front of the computer. It can be very harmful to your health.Darning: OK, so what should I do?Doctor: Well, don’t worry. It’s no serious. First, stop eating fast food and have breakfast ever day. Second, get some exercise such as running. And I’ll give you some medicine. Take it three times a day.Darning:Thank you, doctor.Unit 2Healthy living1 I was not feeling very well so the doctor checked my heart and said I needed more exercise, I have never been very active, and I do not like sports. I have always wanted a pet, so my parents gave me a dog for my birthday. Now I get exercise by taking him for a walk every day. I have had him for three months now and I feel really healthy. — Anna2 Our teacher decided to start a girls’ football team and I thought: “What a great idea!” I was the first member of the team. We have played football for a year now and we all feel very fit. Our teacher is the coach, and she also takes part in the same training with us. She is in excellent condition too. — Wang Wei3 In the last few years, I went to work by underground. When I got to work, I always felt very sleepy and I was not happy. I bought a bike in January. Since then, it has become part of my life. Now I ride to work every day. It is my daily exercise. I arrive at work with a smile on my face. — Thomas4 Feeling weak after a long illness, I wanted to exercise more. Then a friend suggested, “Why don’t we g o for a run before school?” So we started running a week ago. But I do not enjoy running, and when I get to school, I feel awful. My legs hurt and I am hot all over. Perhaps I am too weak to do any exercise. What do you think? —RichardUnit 1Tony: Dam ing, we’ve finished our homework. It’s time to watch a cartoon.Daming: Good idea, Tony. Let’s watch Superman!Tony: We watched Superman yesterday. Why don’t we watch Spiderman? It’s more modern.Daming: I think Superman is better. He’s stronger than Spiderman. He can fly through the sky and fight bad people.Tony: Spiderman can’t fly, but he climbs up buildings with his hands and feet. Tha t’s cool. I want to be someone like him.Dam ing: Well, Superman is brave. He keeps fighting bad people. That’s a real hero!Tony: I don’t think we agree.Daming: All right. Let’s watch Tom and Jerry then.Tony: Yeah! I like humorous cartoons. Tom and Jerry are very funny. I can’t help laughing when I watch them! Daming: Yes, Jerry is too smart for Tom.Tony: The cute mouse always beats the cat! They fight a lot, but they really love each other. Sometimes they protect each other and work together. I think there’s a lesson there!Unit 2Cartoon heroesNemo is a cute orange-and-white fish and Shrek is an ugly green man. They look very different, but both of them have won the hearts of young people all over the world. The pictures of these popular cartoon heroes are everywhere, on office desks, schoolbags and computer screens.There are also some older cartoon favourites. Monkey King has just had his 50th birthday. He is the hero of a story called Havoc in Heaven. He leads a group of monkeys against the Emperor of Heaven and his guards. He is brave, clever and humorous. Parents and children laugh together as Monkey King makes a terrible mess in heaven. They always expect to see more Monkey King cartoons.Tintin is another favourite cartoon hero. He has been popular for over eighty years, ever since the artist Herge invented him in 1929. Tintin has red hair and a small white dog. He works for a newspaper and has lots of exciting experiences. Fans have bought about 200 million copies of Tinti n’s stories in more than fifty languages. Tintin appeared in China in the 1980s. Many Chinese still collect these black-and-white Tintin books.Finally, Snoopy, a cute dog, celebrated his 60th birthday in 2010. Snoopy lives in his own private work and finds real life hard to understand. Charles Schulz created Snoopy and his friends, and drew the cartoons to satisfy older people as well as children.Module 6Unit 1Lingling: Hi, everyone! Come in and find somewhere to sit down. Sorry, it’s a bit of a mess. I’ll put the fans on the shelf.Betty: Let me have a look. You’v e got so many fans.Lingling: Yes, about sixty.Betty: Where did you get them?Lingling: Most of them are presents. People often give me fans as presents because they know I like them. Do you collect anything?Betty: Yes, I collect coins and notes, you know, like British pounds and US dollars and cents.Lingling: Coins? They must be really valuable. Can I see them?Betty: Sure! I’ll show you my stamps too. I’v e collected stamps from all over the world, I’ve got six or seven books of stamps.Tony: My hobby doesn’t cost as much as yours —I collect tickets, bus tickets and train tickets!Betty: You can’t do anything with old tickets!Tony: I know, but when I look at them, I remember some wonderful places.Lingling: Right! Their value isn’t very important. People usually collect things just to remember something important in their lives.Unit 2David’s hobbiesMany students have hobbies, such as reading, painting, growing vegetables and looking after animals. Some hobbies are relaxing and others are active. Hobbies can make you grow as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills.David Smith is a student, and one of his hobbies is writing. During the summer of 2010, he spent four weeks at a summer camp. As well as the usual activities such as sailing and climbing, there was writing class. “The teacher was writer, and she asked us to talk about our lives and tell interesting stories. Then she encouraged us to write about experiences at the camp.”Back at school, David wrote a story about the life of a sixteen-year-old boy, and it came out as a book in 2012. Many young people love his book, and as result, David has become a successful young writer.David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him pleasure and success. But writing is not his only hobby. He is also interested in many other things. “I like playing volleyball too,” says David. “I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe I’ll write about my volleyball team in my future books.”Module 7Unit 1(Lingling is preparing for her trip to LA.)Lingling: Hi, Betty. I’m making a list of things for my trip. I like to get things ready earlier. Can you help me? Betty: Sure. How can I help?Lingling: Well, it sounds crazy but I don’t know what to take.Betty: You should take notebooks, pens and a dictionary.Lingling: OK. What clothes should I take to LA?Betty: When are you leaving and how long are you going to stay there?Lingling: I’m leaving at the end of July and I’m going to stay there for four weeks.Betty: Shorts are good, or you can wear light trousers, it’ll be sunny and hot there.Lingling: I haven’t got any sunglasses. I’ll buy a pair there.Betty: That’s a good idea. But remember, many things are more expensive in America. Have you got any American dollars?Lingling: Yes. Is 200 dollars enough?Betty: If you’v e already paid for the air tickets and for homestay, it should be OK.Lingling: What else?Betty: Your bag mustn’t weigh too much. You’d better ask the travel company about the total weight for all your bags. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to take your passport.Lingling: OK. Thank you.Betty: You’re welcome. You’ll have a great time. Please write to me and send me some photos!Lingling: Yes, I will!Unit 2Learn English in Los Angeles1 Come to learn English in Los Angeles! We can offer you great summer English courses. You will love coming to Los Angeles to learn about American culture and improve your English at the same time.2 The courses last for four, six or eight weeks. They start at the beginning of July. Our teachers are well trained and have a lot of experience. They teach English classes for four hours a day. You can work in small or large groups and it depends on your personal choice. We provide books, and we set tests every week to check your progress. There are also computers and other forms of technology for personal study.3 As well as learning English, we want you to experience life in the US. You can stay as a guest with an American family and take part in their daily life. You have meals with the family and do some activities with them too. For many of our students this is the best part of the course. Many families form close friendships with the students and stay in touch with them. But if you prefer, of course, you can stay in a hotel.4 There are many exciting things to do in Los Angeles. We plan activities every day after class. You can choose to take trips to Hollywood, Disneyland or San Francisco, or you can go shopping.5 You are certain to get the best possible experience of English and life in the US. You must pay for your course at least one month before it starts. Do not wait — fill out our form and come to learn English in Los Angeles!Module 8Unit 1Lingling: Here we are. Welcome to Beihai Park,Tony: Wow! It’s so quiet here that I can even hear the birds singing! I can hardly believe we’re in the city centre. Lingling: This park is famous for its lake, the bridges and the ancient buildings on the hill. The lake takes up over half of the park area. Let’s walk along the lake, cross the bridge and climb up the hill. Then I can point out the sights of Beijing for you.Tony: Yes, good idea. I’m sure it’ll be fantastic to see the city from the top.Daming: But I’m so tired, and it’s so hot here. I don’t want to climb. The lake looks nice and cool. Why don’t we go for a swim?Lingling: I don’t think they allow people to swim in the lake. It’s dangerous.Daming: That’s too bad. Then why d on’t we have our picnic here? I’m so hungry and thirsty.Lingling: I think it’s better to have our picnic at the top of the hill.Tony: Come on! Let’s not waste any more time.Daming: All right. I hope it will be cooler up there.Unit 2FROM: BettyTO: Mum and DadSUBJECT: Wonderful time in ZhangjiajieDear Mum and Dad,I promised to write, so…We’re staying with Lingling’s uncle in Hunan Province, and I’m having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It’s a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It’s very large, about 480 square kilometres. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard some noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling’s uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp, I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling’s uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.Tomorrow we’re going to Dong ting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in China. We’ll be back home next week! Wish you were here!Love,BettyUnit 1Helpline: Hello, Friendship Helpline. Who’s calling, please?Lingling: Hello. This is Lingling speaking.Helpline: Hi, Lingling! How can I help you?Lingling: I have a problem with my best friend. She’s called…Helpline: No, don’t tell me who she is. Tell me when the problem startedLingling: Yes. Well. We’v e been friends for five years. We got separated when we went to different schools last term, but we stayed in touch.Helpline: So could you explain what happened then?Lingling: This term, she came to study at my school. I was so happy at first. But she’s so different.Helpline: Can you tell me how she’s different?Lingling: She doesn’t like me to see my other friends.Helpline: Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to her?Lingling: Yes, but she refused to listen.Helpline: OK. Do you know why she treats you like that?Lingling: No, I don’t know.Helpline: Maybe she doesn’t feel very sure of herself in her new school.Lingling: Maybe.Helpline: She probably feels lonely without you. I’m sure she regrets hurting you. So be patient with her and explain to her that she can make friends with your other friends too. Try to introduce her to them.Lingling: I see. I’ll encourage her to join in more. Thanks.Helpline: No problem, Lingling. You’r e welcome!Unit 2A beautiful smileWhen I was thirteen years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I could not talk to anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to worry about me.One day, my classmates were talk with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like a hidden treasure.That smile changed my life. I started talk with the other students. Day by day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has become my best friend now, and we stick together like glue.One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember!Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. My suggestion is: smile at the world and it will smile back.Module 10Chen Huan: Hi, everybody. I’m the news director at Radio Beijing.Lingling: Thank you for showing us around.Chen Huan: No problem! Now, come this way. Look at the red light. When it’s on, it means we’re on air. And we should avoid making any noise in the background!Tony: OK.Chen Huan: This is the newsroom. We collect the latest national and international news and write reports here. It gets crazy in here just before the programme begins.Lingling: How can I become a presenter?Chen Huan: I think you need to speak English really well. So keep studying, and I hope that you can join us one day.Tony: What about the sports news?Chen Huan: That’s over there. And it is where we do interviews with big stars of sports. Let’s watch the presenter. Remember, I said you need to keep quiet if the red light is on.Presenter: Finally, we’ve just heard that Germany has won the football match, 2-1 against England.Lingling:Hey! Tha t’s great news!Tony:No, it’s awful news!All: Ssh!Presenter:…And that’s the end of the six o’clock news.Unit 2Radio times“How old are you? The radio manager looked down at me.“Fifteen,” I said.“And you want a job in radio? Shouldn’t you be at school?” he asked.How could I explain? I have always loved the radio. I still remember, when I was four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part-time jobs in small radio stations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father’s computer, talked about life at school, and hoped someone might be listening. Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared a programme once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).“OK, come with me,” the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room, behind a glass wall. “OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.”All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. The purpose is to check the sound level.“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”“OK, that’s great!” the man behind the glass said.This was how my first real job in radio began.。

At the moment, Mike and Clare are in Cairo in Egypt, one of the biggest and busiest cites in Africa.They moved here with their parents two years ago. Their father, Peter, works for a very big company. The company has offices in many countries, and it has sent Peter to work in Germany, France and China before. Peter usually stays in a country for about two years. Then the company moves him again. His family always goes with him.The Robinsons love seeing the world. They have been to many interesting places. For example,in Egypt, they have seen the Pyramids, travelled on a boat on the Nile River, and visited the palaces and towers of ancient kings and queens.Mike and Clare have also begun to learn the language of the country, Arabic. This language is different from English in many ways, and they find it hard to spell and pronounce the words. However, they still enjoy learning it. So far they have learnt to speak German, French, Chineseand Arabic. Sometimes they mix the languages. “It’s really fun,” said Clare.The Robinsons are moving again. The company has asked Peter to work back in the US. Mikeand Clare are happy about this. They have friends all over the world, but they also miss their friends in the US. They are counting down the days.M3 Unit 1 Has it arrived yet ?Daming: Hi, Tony. What are you up to?ship for our school project.Tony: Hi, Daming. I’ve just made a model spaceDaming: I haven’t started yet, because I’m not sure how to make it. Can you help me? Tony: Sure, no problem. Have you heard the lasted news? Scientists have sent a spaceship to Mars.The journey has taken several months.Daming: Has it arrived yet?Tony: Yes, it has arrived already. That’s why it’s on the news.Daming: So have they discovered life on Mars?Tony: No, they haven’t yet.Daming: Are there any astronauts in the spaceship?Tony: No, there aren’t.Daming: Why? Astronauts have already been to the moon.Tony: Yes, but no one has been to Mars yet, because Mars is very far away, much farther than the moon. Lots of scientists are working hard in order to send astronauts to Mars one day.Daming: That’s interesting! How can Iget information on space travel?Tony: You can go online to search for the information.Daming: I will. Thank you, Tony!Unit 2 We have not found life on any other planets yet.Scientists think that there has been life on earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, wehave not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the plant of Mars to take photos. They even have sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach near other stars in our Galaxy.Scientists have always asked the question: With so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or isthere life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? Why has noone communicated with us? We do not know the answers…yet.M4 Unit 1 I haven’t done much exercise since I got my computer.Doctor: How can I help you?Daming: I feel ill.

It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I could not talkto anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to worry about me.One day, my classmates are talking with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively andwarm. It was like a hidden treasure.That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students. Day by Day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has becomemy best friend now, and we stick together like glue.One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember!Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might alwaysbe alone. My suggestion is: Smile at the world and it will smile back.M10 Chen Huan: Hi, everybody. I'm the news director at Radio Beijing.Lingling: Thank you for showing us around.Chen Huan: No problem!

So keep studying, and I hope you can joinus one day.Tony: What about the sports news?Chen Huan: That’s over there.And it is where we do interviews with big stars of sports. Let watch the presenter. Remember, I said you need to keep quite if the red light is on.Presenter: Finally, we've just heard that Germany has won the football match,2–1 against England.Lingling: Hey! That's great news!Tony: No, it's awful news!All: Ssh!Presenter: ... And that’s the end of the six o’clock news.Radio times“How old are you?” the radio studio manager looked down at me.“Fifteen,” I said.“And you want a job in radio? Shouldn’t you be at school?” he asked.How could I explain? I’ve always loved the radio. I still remember, When I was about four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes, and to thevoices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but tome in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part–time jobs in small radio stations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, Icomputer, talked about life at school, and hoped played my favourite music from my father’ssomeone might be listening.Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared a programmes once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).“OK, come with me,” the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room, behin da glass wall.“OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.”All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. The purpose is tocheck the sound level.“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”“OK, that’s great!” The man behind the glass said.And this was how my first real job in radio began.。

It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn't talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn't want my parents to worry about me.Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm.That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn't remember smiling at me!It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is, if you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.第2模块陈欢：你知道萨莉马克斯威尔是否已经到了吗？接待员：那就是马克斯威尔女士。

Thanks for your last message, It was great to hear from you, and I can’t wait to meet you.2. I hope you will know me from my photo when I arrive at the airport.

My brother is in the school tennis team – I’m very proud of him! He’s good at everything, but I’m not. Sometimes I get bad marks at school, and I feel sad. I should work harder.4. You asked me, “How do you feel about coming to China?” Well, I often feel a bit sad at first when I leave my mum and dad for a few days, and I’m quite shy when I’m with strangers.I feel nervous when I speak Chinese, but I’ll be fine in a few days. I’m always sorry when I don’t know how to do things in the right way, so please help me when I’m with you in China! Oh, I’m afraid of flying. But I can’t tell you how excited I am about going to China!See you next week!Love,SallyM2 Unit 1 I’ve also entered lots of speaking competitionsTony: Hi, Lingling.

And maybe you will win a prize. Lingling: Yes, the first prize is “My dream holiday”.Tony: Have you ever won any prizes before?Lingling: No, I haven’t. I’ve always wanted to go on a dream holiday. But I can’t afford it. The plane tickets are too expensive.Tony: Well, good luck! I’ve also entered lots of speaking competitions, but haven’t won anyprizes. I’ve stopped trying now.Lingling: Look! Here’s a writing competition. Around the World in 80 Days. To win it, you need to write a short story about a place you’ve visited.Tony: That sounds wonderful, but I’ve never travelled a lot. How can I write about it? Lingling: Don’t worry. It doesn’t need to be true! You can make it up.Tony: That’s interesting, I’ll try. I hope I will win, then I will invite you to come with me. Lingling: Sorry! The first prize is only the book called Around the World in 80 Day!Unit 2 They have seen the Pyramids.Mike Robinson is a fifteen–year-old American boy and his sister Clare is fourteen. At the moment, Mike and Clare are in Cairo in Egypt, one of the biggest and busiest cites in Africa. They moved here with their parents two years ago. Their father, Peter, works for a very big company. The company has offices in many countries, and it has sent Peter to work in Germany, France and China before. Peter usually stays in a country for about two years. Then the company moves him again. His family always goes with him.The Robinsons love seeing the world. They have been to many interesting places. For example, in Egypt, they have seen the Pyramids, travelled on a boat on the Nile River, and visited the palaces and towers of ancient kings and queens.Mike and Clare have also begun to learn the language of the country, Arabic. This language is different from English in many ways, and they find it hard to spell and pronounce the words. However, they still enjoy learning it. So far they have learnt to speak German, French, Chinese and Arabic. Sometimes they mix the languages. “It’s really fun,” said Clare. The Robinsons are moving again. The company has asked Peter to work back in the US. Mike and Clare are happy about this. They have friends all over the world, but they also miss their friends in the US. They are counting down the days.M3 Unit 1 Has it arrived yet ?Daming: Hi, Tony. What are you up to?Tony: Hi, Daming. I’ve just made a model spaceship for our school project.Daming: I haven’t started yet, because I’m not sure how to make it. Can you help me? Tony: Sure, no problem. Have you heard the lasted news? Scientists have sent a spaceship to Mars. The journey has taken several months.Daming: Has it arrived yet?Tony: Yes, it has arrived already. That’s why it’s on the news.Daming: So have they discovered life on Mars?Tony: No, they haven’t yet.Daming: Are there any astronauts in the spaceship?Tony: No, there aren’t.Daming: Why? Astronauts have already been to the moon.Tony: Yes, but no one has been to Mars yet, because Mars is very far away, much farther than the moon. Lots of scientists are working hard in order to send astronauts to Mars one day.Daming: That’s interesting! How can I get information on space travel?Tony: You can go online to search for the information.Daming: I will. Thank you, Tony!Unit 2 We have not found life on any other planets yet. Scientists think that there has been life on earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It isimpossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the plant of Mars to take photos. They even have sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach near other stars in our Galaxy.Scientists have always asked the question: With so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? Why has no one communicated with us? We do not know the answers…yet.M4 Unit 1 I haven’t done much exercise since I got my computer.Doctor: How can I help you?Daming: I feel ill. I’ve got a stomachache and my head hurts.Doctor: How long have you been like this?Daming: Since Friday. I’ve been ill for about three days!Doctor: I see. Have you caught a cold?Daming: I don’t think so.Doctor: Let me take your temperature…Mm, there’s no fever. What kind of food do you eat? Daming: Usually fast food.Doctor: Do you have breakfast?Daming: No, not usually.Doctor: That’s the problem! Fast food and no breakfast. That’s why you’ve got a stomachache.Daming: What about the headache?Doctor: Do you do any exercise?Daming: Not really. I haven’t done much exercise since I got my computer last year. Dcotor: You spend too much time in front of the computer. It can be very harmful to your health.Daming: OK, so what should I do?Doctor: Well, don’t worry. It’s not serious. First, stop eating fast food and have breakfast every day. Second, get some exercise, such as running. And I’ll give you some medicine. Take it three times a day.Daming: Thank you, doctor.Questions：Unit 2 We have played football for a year now.Healthy living1. I was not feeling very well so the doctor checked my heart and said I needed more exercise. I have never been very active, and I do not like sports. I have always wanted a pet, so my parents gave me a dog for my birthday. Now I get exercise by taking him for a walk every day. I have had him for three months now and I feel really healthy. ----Anna2. Our teacher decided to start a girl’s football team and I thought: “What a great idea!” I was the first member of the team. We have played football for a year now and we all feel very fit. Our teacher is the coach, and she also takes part in the same training with us. She is in excellent condition too. ---- Wang Wei3. In the last few years, I went to work by underground. When I got to work, I always felt very sleepy and I was not happy. I bought a bike in January. Science then, it has become part of my life. Now I ride to wok every day. It is my daily exercise. I arrive at work with a smile on my face. ---- Thomas4. Feeling weak after a long illness, I wanted to exercise more. Then a friend suggested, “Why don’t we go for a run before school?” So we started running a week ago. But I do not enjoy running, and when I get to school, I feel awful. My legs hurt and I am hot all over. Perhaps I am too weak to do any exercise. What do you think?----RichardM5 Unit 1 It’s time to watch a cartoon.Tony: Daming, we’ve finished our homework. It’s time to watch a cartoon.Daming: Good idea, Tony. Let’s watch Superman!Tony: We watched Superman yesterday. Why don’t we watch Spiderman? It’s more modern. Daming: I think Superman is better. He’s stronger than Spiderman. He can fly through the sky and fight bad people.Tony: Spiderman can’t fly, but he climbs up buildings with his hands and feet. That’s cool. I want to be someone like him.Daming: Well, Superman is brave. He keeps fighting bad people. That’s a real hero!Tony: I don’t think we agree.Daming: All right. Let’s watch Tom and Jerry then.Tony: Yeah! I like humorous cartoons. Tom and Jerry are very funny. I can’t help laughing when I watch them.Daming: Yes, Jerry is too smart for Tom.Tony: The cut mouse always beats the cat! They fight a lot, but they really love each other. Sometimes they protect each other and work together. I think there’s lesson there!Cartoon heroesNemo is a cute orange-and-white fish and Shrek is an ugly green animal. They look very different, but both of them have won the hearts of young people all over the world. The pictures of these popular cartoon heroes are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and computer screens.There are also some older cartoon favourites. Monkey King has just had his 50th birthday”. He is the hero of a story called Making Havoc in Heaven. He leads a group of monkeys against the Emperor of Heaven and his guards. He is brave, clever and humorous. Parentsand children laugh together as Monkey King makes a terrible mess in heaven. They always expect to see more Monkey King cartoons.Tintin is another favourite cartoon hero. He has been popular for over eighty years, ever since the artist invented him in 1929. Tintin has red hair and a small white dog. He works for a newpaper and has lots of exciting experiences. Fans have bought about 200 million copies of Tintin’s stories in more than fifty languages. Tintin appeared in China in the 1980s. Many Chinese still collect these black-and-white Tintin books.Finally, Snoopy, a cute dog, celebrated his 60th birthday in 2010.Snoopy lives in his own private world and finds real life hard to understand. Charles Schulz created Snoopy and his friends, and drew the cartoons to satisfy older people as well as children.M6 Unit 1 Do you collect anything? Lingling: Hi, everything! Come in and find somewhere to sit down. Sorry, it’s a bit of mess. I’ll put the fans on the shelf.Betty: Let me have a look. You’ve got so many fans.Lingling: Yes, about sixty.Betty: Where did you get them?Lingling: Most of them are presents. People often give me fans as presents because they know I like them. Do you collect anything?Betty: Yes, I collect coins and notes, you know, like British pounds and US dollars and cents. Lingling: Coins? They must be really valuable. Can I see them?Betty: Sure! I’ll show you my stamps too. I’ve collected stamps from all over the world. I’ve got six or seven books of stamps.Tony: My hobby doesn’t cost as much as yours—I collect tickets, bus tickets and train tickets! Betty: You can’t do anything with old tickets!Tony: I know, but when I look at them, I remember some wonderful places.Lingling: Right! Their value isn’t very important. People usually collect things just to remember something important in their lives.David’s hobbiesMany students have hobbies, such as reading, painting, growing vegetables and looking after animals. Some hobbies are relaxing and others are active. Hobbies can make you grow as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills.David Smith is a student, and one of his hobbies is writing. During the summer of 2010, he spent four weeks at a summer camp. As well as the usual activities, such as sailing and climbing, there was a writing class. “The teacher is a writer, and she asked us to talk about our lives and tell interesting stories. Then she encouraged us to write about our experiences at the camp.”Back at school, David wrote a story about the life of a sixteen–year–old boy, and it came out as a book in 2012. Many young people love his book, and as a result, David has become a successful young writer.David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him pleasure and success, but writing is not his only hobby. “I like playing volleyball too,” says David. “I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe I’ll write about my volleyball team in my future books.”M7U1（Lingling is preparing for her trip to LA）Lingling: Hi, Betty. I’m making a list of things for my trip. I like to get things ready earlier. Can you help me?Betty: Sure. How can I help?Lingling: Well, it sounds crazy but I don’t know what to take.Betty: You should take notebooks, pens and a dictionary.Lingling: OK. What clothes should I take to LA？Betty: When are you leaving and how long are you going to stay there？Lingling: I’m leaving at the end of July and I’m going to stay there for four weeks.Betty: Shorts are good, or you can wear light trousers. It’ll be sunny and hot there.Lingling: I haven’t got any sunglasses. I’ll buy a pair there.Betty: That’s a good idea. But remember, many things are more expensive in America. Have you got any American dollars?Lingling: Yes. Is 200 dollars enough?Betty: If you’ve already paid for the air tickets and for homestay, it should be OK. Lingling: What else?Betty: You bag mustn’t weigh too much. You’d better ask the travel company about the total weight for all your bags. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to take your passport.Lingling: OK. Thank you.Betty: You’re welcome. You’ll have a great time. Please write to me and send me some photos!Lingling: Yes, I will.Learn English in Los AngelesCome and learn English in Los Angeles! We can offer you great summer English courses.

It’s so quiet that I can even hear the birds singing! I can hardly believe we're in the city centre.Lingling: This park is famous for its lake, the bridge and the ancient buildings on the hill. The lake takes up over half of the park area. Let's walk along the lake,cross the bridge and climb up the hill. Then I can point out the sights of Beijing for you.Tony: Yes, good idea. I'm sure it'll be fantastic to see the city from the top.Daming: But I'm so tired, and it's so hot here. I don't want to climb. The lake looks nice and cool. Why don't we go for a swim?Lingling: I don't think they allow people to swim in the lake. It's dangerous.Daming: That's too bad. Then why don't we have our picnic here? I'm so hungry and thirsty. Lingling: I think it's better to have our picnic at the top of the hill.Tony: Come on! Let's not waste any more time.Daming: All right. I hope it will be cooler up there.U2From:BettyTo: Mum and dadSUBJECT: Wonderful time in ZhangjiajieDear Mum and Dad,I promised to write, so...We’re staying with Lingling’s uncle in Hunan Province, and I’m having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It’s a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It's very large, about 480 square kilometres. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans, and others look like wild animals.Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard some noise! It woke everyone up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling's uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp. I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling’s uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.Tomorrow we’re going to Dongting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in China.We’ll to back home next week! Wish you were here!Love,BettyM9 U1Helpline: Hello, friendship helpline. Who's calling, please?Lingling: Hello. This is Lingling speaking.Helpline: Hi, Lingling! How can I help you?Lingling: I have a problem with my best friend. She is called...Helpline: No,don't tell me who she is. Tell me when the problem started.Lingling: Yes. Well, we've been friends for five years. We got separated when we went to different schools last term, but we stayed in touch.Helpline: So could you explain what happened then?Lingling: This term, she came to study at my school. I was so happy at first. But she's so different.Helpline: Can you tell me how she's different?Lingling: She doesn't like me to see my other friends.Helpline: Could I ask if you've mentioned this to her?Lingling: Yes, but she refused to listen.Helpline: OK, do you know why she treats you like that?Lingling: No. I don't know.Helpline: Maybe she doesn't feel very sure of herself in her new school.Lingling: Maybe.Helpline: She probably feels lonely without you. I'm sure she regrets hurting you. So be patient with her and explain to her that she can make friends with your other friends too. Try to introduce her to them.Lingling: I see. I'll encourage her to join in more. Thanks.Helpline: No problem, Lingling. You're welcome.U2A beautiful smileBy Zhang BeiWhen I was thirteen years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I could not talk to anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to worry about me. One day, my classmates are talking with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like a hidden treasure.That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students. Day by Day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has become my best friend now, and we stick together like glue.One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember! Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. My suggestion is: Smile at the world and it will smile back.M10 Chen Huan: Hi, everybody. I'm the news director at Radio Beijing.Lingling: Thank you for showing us around.Chen Huan: No problem! Now, come this way. Look at the red light. When it's on, it means we're on air. And we should avoid making any noise in the background.Tony: OK.Chen Huan: This is the newsroom. We collect the latest national and international news and write reports here. It gets crazy in here just before the programme begins.Lingling: How can I become a presenter?Chen Huan: I think you need to speak English well. So keep studying, and I hope you can join us one day.Tony: What about the sports news?Chen Huan: That’s over there.And it is where we do interviews with big stars of sports. Let’s watch the presenter. Remember, I said you need to keep quite if the red light is on. Presenter: Finally, we've just heard that Germany has won the football match,2–1 against England.Lingling: Hey! That's great news!Tony: No, it's awful news!All: Ssh!Presenter: ... And that’s the end of the six o’clock news.Radio times“How old are you?” the radio studio manager looked down at me.“Fifteen,” I said.“And you want a job in radio? Shouldn’t you be at school?” he asked.How could I explain? I’ve always loved the radio. I still remember, When I was about four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes, and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part–time jobs in small radio stations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father’s computer, talked about life at school, and hoped someone might be listening.Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared aprogrammes once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).“OK, come with me,” the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room, behind a glass wall.“OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.”All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. The purpose is to check the sound level.“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”“OK, that’s great!” The man behind the glass said.And this was how my first real job in radio began.。

She plays really well.Lingling: But why do you want to send Chen Huan a recording of Kylie playing?Sally: Well, she's my friend, and it's important for her.Lingling: But it's important for you, too, Sally.Betty: I think Chen Huan wants to hear you on Starsearch, not Kylie.

All: Hooray!Module4 unit2Read the passage and check what it is about.Smile, Please!If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It may save your life . This is the surprising advice of a British cook.One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from the table, and suddenly a snake appeared ... and bit him on the hand.A few days earlier, the snake came to the restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish ."I went to try to pick it up and it bit me again. I threw it across the kitchen, and it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door," Mr Jackson said.Anyway, Mr Jackson stayed cool and he took a photo of the snakewith his mobile phone. Soon his hand began to ache and he went tohospital. Then his chest began to hurt . Doctors couldn't say what waswrong because they didn't know what kind of snake it was.Then Mr Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctorssent it to London Zoo. When they knew the kind of snake, they couldgive Mr Jackson the right medicine , and he left hospital the next day."So my advice is this: If a snake bites you, pick up your phone. Take its photo first and then show the photo to the doctors," suggests Mr Jackson. "Oh, and if the snake doesn't smile for its photo, don't worry!"Module5 unit1Listen and read.Betty: Tell me about the concert, Sally.Sally: Well, we play some music all together . And then one of us plays a solo of someIrish dance music at the end of the Starsearch concert.Lingling: A solo ? You mean alone in front of everyone? Rather you than me!Sally: Well, the orchestra will play in the background. Our music teacher will choosethe best player during our final practice . And if I play well, I'll play the solo during the Starsearch concert.Betty: And if Kylie beats you, she'll play the solo and become the star on Starsearch! Sally: Yes, but actually, I want Kylie to win.Lingling: Why?Sally: Her parents have warned her about her schoolwork. If she spends too muchtime with the orchestra, they'll punish her and send her to a different school. Betty: That's a shame !Sally: And if she goes to a different school, I won't see my best friend.Lingling: So what can you do?Sally: If our teacher chooses Kylie, she'll play the dance music. And if she becomes astar, her parents will be proud of her, and they won't send her away.Lingling: I see the problem!Sally: But if I refuse to play, our teacher won't choose me. She'll choose Kylie.Betty: But that's such a pity ! You play so well.Sally: I'll have another chance one day. And I'll keep my best friend.Module5 unit2Read the letter and the answer. Choose the problem and the advice.Dear DianaDo you have a problem? Write to Diana at New Standard Magazine , and ask for her advice.Dear Diana,Last week, my friend Da Wei brought a new computer game and asked to play it on my father's computer. But my father has warned me not to use his computer for playing games because he uses it for his job. I can only use it for my homework. He thinks that if I play games on it, it'll go wrong .Well, my dad was out, so we decided to try Da Wei's game. We copied it onto the computer and when we finished, we took it off the computer. We made quite sure my father didn't notice anything.But when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. The computer wasn't working because it had a virus!But I didn't tell him about the computer game.Now I feel terrible. It's going to be expensive to mend it. Should I tell him about the computer game? Should I offer to pay?Yours,SteveDear Steve,Oh dear! You've made two mistakes. First, you used your dad's computer when he told you not to. Second, you didn't tell him about the game. Yes, you must tell him immediately. If you tell him the truth, he'll be angry with you, but at least you'll prove how honest you are.Then I think you should offer to pay. But you shouldn't use your pocket money—after all, your parents gave you that money. If you offer to do some jobs around the home, or maybe help him with his work, he'll realise that you're truly sorry.Oh, and next time, play football with Da Wei!Best wishes,DianaThe problem is ____.Steve played a computer game after his father warned him about a virus.Steve's friend left a virus on Steve's computer. His father uses thecomputer for work, and is now very angry.Steve played a computer game on his father's computer after his fatherwarned him not to use it.

I'm Chen Huan. Here's my culture report for today, Monday:A new film starts tonight at the student cinema at eight o'clock. The film is Pirates of the Caribbean . It's a fantastic adventure film. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are the stars. They are both very popular and famous, and they both act well in this film, and make their characters believable .The story is about an old ship . It sails around the Caribbean islands. Depp and Bloom try to find some lost gold. Then they come face to face with some terrible men, and have to fight them. There's lots of action , and the fighting looks really dangerous. They also save Keira Knightley. She plays Elisabeth, the daughter of a rich man . The scenes with Knightley and Bloom are beautiful and romantic .The film isn't true to life, but it's very exciting, and some of it is very funny . It's anenjoyable film, although in my opinion there's too much fighting . But except for that, it's an excellent film. If you didn't see it when it first came out, I advise you to go and see it now. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

For our May Day holiday, why don't we go to one of our nationalparks to relax —Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area ?Module7 unit2Look at the photo and listen. What does the conversation say about the photo?Look at the photo. Write down words which you can use to describe it.Read the passage.Dear Mum and Dad,We're spending some time off with Lingling's uncle in Hunan Province, and I'm having a wonderful time here in Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area. It's very large, about 390 square kilometres, and it's a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It's famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some people think they look like soldiers, and others think they look like animals. Before Wu Guanzhong, a famous Chinese painter, painted some beautiful pictures of it in 1979, few people knew about the area.Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, I heard a loud noise, as if someone was laughing. I woke up Lingling and her uncle, and I asked them what the noise was. Lingling's uncle told us not to worry, and left the tent to find out what it was. After a few minutes, he told us to come out quietly. Then he pointed into the forest. It was a monkey. When it saw us, it jumped up into the trees and went back into the forest.This morning we took a cable car up Mount Tianzi—it was quite safe! From the top we hoped for a wonderful view of the lakes and forests, but we could only see the mountain tops through the clouds. Then we walked down the path, past trees, waterfalls and plants back to our tent. I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling's uncle told me to wash my hands, and not to touch it, because it was dangerous. He also said that it was wrong to pull leaves and we should protect everything here. I felt sorry.Tomorrow we're going to the second largest fresh water lake in China, Dongting Lake.We'll go back to school next week! Wish you were here!Love,SallyModule8 unit1Listen and read.Tony: Do you have any plans for the May Day holiday, Betty?Betty: My parents and I are going to visit some friends in Shandong Province. Andwhile we're staying with them, we're going to spend a few days in Qingdao.We'll stay there until May 5th.Daming: Do you celebrate May 1st in the UK, Tony?Tony: Well, we celebrate May Day, but the holiday is not always on May 1st. It's theclosest Monday to May 1st, and we only have one day off.Betty: In the USA, Labour Day is a national holiday, but on a different date, too. It's onthe first Monday in September. And it's the last day before the new school yearbegins.Lingling: Do you do anything special ?Betty: We go camping or we have a picnic somewhere nice, or go to the beach. But it'salso the end of the vacation season . When September comes, it starts to getcooler, so after Labour Day we start classes.Daming: We also go back to school as soon as the May Day holiday is over.Lingling: True, but our weather gets better, and then we only have a few weeks beforethe start of the summer holidays.Betty: Right! So let's enjoy ourselves until we go back to school.Module8 unit2Read the passage, and match the topics with the paragraphs.a.b.c.d.e.People all over the world celebrate the new year. However, not allcountries celebrate in the same way, and in some countries, the newyear doesn't begin on the same date every year. It can depend on theseasons, the moon or the sun.In many countries, the new year begins on January 1st, but peoplestart celebrating on December 31st, New Year's Eve. In New York manypeople go to celebrate in Times Square. While they're waiting for theNew Year, they listen to music, sing traditional songs and have fun. Just before 12 o'clock, everyone counts down from 10: 10, 9, 8 ... As soon as it's 12 o'clock, everyone shouts very loudly, "Happy New Year!" and they say, "Out with the old year and in with the new!" Suddenly there are fireworks and special drinks. Sometimes people sing an old song called Auld Lang Syne.New Year's Day is often a family day. Some people relax at home. Some families get together for a special meal with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. When the weather is fine, many families go out for a walk.On New Year's Day, many people make resolutions for the new year. They write down a list of things, such as "I will help out more at home. I will work harder at school." or "I won't spend so much time playing video games." When they have made their list, they read it to their family or friends and promise to follow their resolutions.So it doesn't matter how they celebrate, for people in countries all over the world, it's a time to say goodbye to the old year, and to welcome the new.Listen and read.Tony: Not bad for a school orchestra! And Sally is really good at the violin.Betty: Yes, they're fantastic! But the last piece is coming up. I'm looking forward tothis!Tony: The dance music? Is Sally going to play this piece?Betty: No, she missed the final practice so that Kylie could play this piece of music onher own . She said her hand hurt, but that was only an excuse .Daming: Why did she do that?Betty: I imagine that she did it so that Kylie could avoid problems with her parents.Maybe she's just trying to help Kylie. It was very brave of her.Daming: I agree. It was a very kind thought .Betty: Ssh! They're starting to play, so be quiet!Tony: But look!Lingling: Hi, everyone. Sorry I'm late.Tony: Look! What are Kylie and Sally doing?Lingling: They're standing up because they're both going to play.Betty: What happened?Lingling: Their teacher asked Kylie what was really wrong with Sally. Kylie knew whySally missed the final practice, so she asked their teacher to rewrite the finaldance music so that two people could play it.Tony: Now they're both going to be stars tonight on Starsearch!Lingling: And I bet Sally wins, because she's the real hero tonight!My Hero—Dr Norman BethuneNorman Bethune is one of China's most famous heroes, but hewasn't Chinese—he was Canadian. He gave his life to helping theChinese people.Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916,and he went to the front to look after injured soldiers in the First WorldWar. He saw many soldiers die in the war. Later he invented newtreatments to help soldiers, and medical tools to use outside hospitals.In 1938 he came to China to treat the Chinese soldiers in the mountains north of Yan'an. There were few doctors, so he had to work very hard. He opened hospitals to give treatment to local people and soldiers, and to train doctors and nurses. He also wrote books so that doctors could learn about new treatments.Dr Bethune worked very hard without stopping to rest. Once, he performed operations for 69 hours without stopping, and saved 112 people. He continued working in spite of cutting his hand during an operation. In the end, he died because he did not stop to take care of his hand.Dr Bethune's work with the Chinese soldiers made him a hero in China. There are books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both Canada and China. Module10 unit1Listen and read.Lingling: Now, where's your flight number?Sally: There it is!

During the summer of 2000, he spent four weeks on a summer camp. As well as the usual activities, such as sailing, climbing and mountain biking, there was a writing workshop witha professional writer. "She asked us to imagine that we were in a story. Then we wrote about our experiences at the camp."In senior high school David wrote a story about teenage life, and it came out as a book in 2003. Many teenagers love his book, and as a result, David has become a successful young writer.David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him enjoyment and success, but he is also interested in many other things. "I like playing volleyball, too," says David. "I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe I'll write more books in the future, but I'm not sure."It's sometimes difficult to remember that we shouldn't spend all our time on our favourite hobby.

Decide who is in the photo.A Beautiful Smile—Zhang BeiWhen I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an importantgift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a juniorhigh school, and my old school was far away. As a result,no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid tomake friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn't talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn't want my parents to worry about me.Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm.That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn't remember smiling at me!It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.Module3 unit1Listen and read.Chen Huan:Hi, everybody.Sally:We'd like to thank you for taking us around Radio Beijing.Chen Huan:Don't mention it.

We collect the latest news and write the reports here.Lingling:How can I become a newsreader?Chen Huan:On Radio Beijing everyone needs to speak English well. So keep studying, and maybe one day you can join us. Here's where I work on Starsearch. We decide what to listen to ... and who to see.Daming:What about the sports news? I like listening to the football results.Chen Huan:That's over there.Tony:I'd like to be a sports reporter.Daming:Me, too!Chen Huan:And this is where we prepare the weather reports. Let's watch the newsreader. OK, see the red light? Quiet, please.Newsreader:Finally, some sports news about the England and China football match.

Shouldn't you be at school?" he asked.How could I explain? I've always loved the radio. When I was about four or five years old, I remember sitting close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes, and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for jobs in small radio stations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father's computer to the listeners, talked about life at school, and then closed down and did my homework.Soon my friends at junior high school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared the weekly programmes, articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window)."OK, come with me," the WXBN manager said. I sat down in the studio, in front of a microphone. He was in another room, behind the glass wall."OK, let's do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast."All radio presenters begin work with the same question."I had eggs, fruit and some milk.""OK, that's great!" the man behind the glass said.And this was how my first real job in radio began.Module4 unit1Listen and read.(Irish music, with a violin ...)Lingling:That's lovely! Who's playing?Sally:That's us! Chen Huan wants a recording for his programme, and he lent me his CD recorder. The orchestra was practising some Irish music yesterday, so I recorded it.Tony:How does it work?Daming:Let's look at the instructions. "If you want to turn on the recorder, press the blue button. If you want to play back, press the green button."(The same Irish music) Daming:You've done that.Tony:"... and if you want to record, press the red button. If the red light doesn't come on, wait for thirty seconds." OK, let's try.Daming:Is it working? (Playback: Is it working?)Tony:Yes, it is. "If you want to send your recording by email, connect the recorder to your computer. If there's no green light, choose the 'copy' symbol."Lingling:And are you playing the violin?Sally:No, that's my best friend Kylie. She plays really well.Lingling:But why do you want to send Chen Huan a recording of Kylie playing?Sally:Well, she's my friend, and it's important for her.Lingling:But it's important for you, too, Sally.Betty:I think Chen Huan wants to hear you on Starsearch, not Kylie. Come on, Sally. Where's your violin? Tony, press "record"!Tony:OK! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our star musician ... Sally Maxwell!All:Hooray!Module4 unit2Read the passage and check what it is about.Smile, Please!If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It may save your life. This is the surprising advice of a British cook.One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from the table, and suddenly a snake appeared ... and bit him on the hand.A few days earlier, the snake came to the restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish."I went to try to pick it up and it bit me again. I threw it across the kitchen, and it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door," Mr Jackson said.Anyway, Mr Jackson stayed cool and he took a photo ofthe snake with his mobile phone. Soon his hand began toache and he went to hospital. Then his chest began to hurt .Doctors couldn't say what was wrong because they didn't know what kind of snake it was.Then Mr Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors sent it to London Zoo. When they knew the kind of snake, they could give Mr Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day."So my advice is this: If a snake bites you, pick up your phone. Take its photo first and then show the photo to the doctors," suggests Mr Jackson. "Oh, and if the snake doesn't smile for its photo, don't worry!"Module5 unit1Listen and read.Betty:Tell me about the concert, Sally.Sally:Well, we play some music all together. And then one of us plays a solo of some Irish dance music at the end of the Starsearch concert.Lingling:A solo? You mean alone in front of everyone? Rather you than me!Sally:Well, the orchestra will play in the background. Our music teacher will choose the best player during our final practice. And if I play well, I'll play the solo during the Starsearch concert.Betty:And if Kylie beats you, she'll play the solo and become the star on Starsearch!Sally:Yes, but actually, I want Kylie to win. Lingling:Why?Sally:Her parents have warned her about her schoolwork. If she spends too much time with the orchestra, they'll punish her and send her to a different school.Betty:That's a shame!Sally:And if she goes to a different school, I won't see my best friend. Lingling:So what can you do?Sally:If our teacher chooses Kylie, she'll play the dance music. And if she becomes a star, her parents will be proud of her, and they won't send her away.Lingling:I see the problem!Sally:But if I refuse to play, our teacher won't choose me. She'll choose Kylie.Betty:But that's such a pity! You play so well.Sally:I'll have another chance one day. And I'll keep my best friend. Module5 unit2Read the letter and the answer.

Write to Diana at New Standard Magazine, and ask for her advice.Dear Diana,Last week, my friend Da Wei brought a new computer game and asked to play it on my father's computer. But my father has warned me not to use his computer for playing games because he uses it for his job. I can only use it for my homework. He thinks that if I play games on it, it'll go wrong.Well, my dad was out, so we decided to try Da Wei's game. We copied it onto the computer and when we finished, we took it off the computer. We made quite sure my father didn't notice anything.But when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. The computer wasn't working because it had a virus!But I didn't tell him about the computer game.Now I feel terrible. It's going to be expensive to mend it. Should I tell him about the computer game? Should I offer to pay?Yours,SteveDear Steve,Oh dear! You've made two mistakes. First, you used your dad's computer when he told you not to. Second, you didn't tell him about the game. Yes, you must tell him immediately. If you tell him the truth, he'll be angry with you, but at least you'll prove how honest you are.Then I think you should offer to pay. But you shouldn't use your pocket money—after all, your parents gave you that money. If you offer to do some jobs around the home, or maybe help him with his work, he'll realise that you're truly sorry.Oh, and next time, play football with Da Wei!Best wishes,DianaThe problem is ____.Steve played a computer game after his father warned him about a virus.Steve's friend left a virus on Steve's computer. His father uses the computer for work, and is now very angry.Steve played a computer game on his father's computer after hisfather warned him not to use it.

Which words can you use to describe it?famous; fight; gold; island; pirate; popular; sail; sea; ship; terrible What do you think the film is about?(Answers are open.)Read the passage and complete the table.Good morning. I'm Chen Huan. Here's my culture report for today, Monday:A new film starts tonight at the student cinema at eight o'clock. The film is Pirates of the Caribbean. It's a fantastic adventure film. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are the stars. They are both very popular and famous, and they both act well in this film, and make their characters believable.The story is about an old ship. It sails around the Caribbean islands. Depp and Bloom try to find some lost gold. Then they come face to face with some terrible men, and have to fight them. There's lots of action, and the fighting looks really dangerous. They also save Keira Knightley. She plays Elisabeth, the daughter of a rich man. The scenes with Knightley and Bloom are beautiful and romantic.The film isn't true to life, but it's very exciting, and some of it is very funny. It's an enjoyable film, although in my opinion there's too much fighting. But except for that, it's an excellent film. If you didn't see it when it first came out, I advise you to go and see it now. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. It's showing all week.Film factsName of the film:Pirates of the CaribbeanActors:Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, etc.Cinema:Student CinemaTime:8 o'clock at night, whole weekComment:excellentModule7 unit1Listen and read.Lingling:Welcome to Beihai Park.Sally:It's so quiet!

Let's walk around the lake, cross the bridge and climb up to Baita. The air is very clear today, so we'll see the whole park from up there. So what are you going to do about the concert?Sally:Well, I've phoned my teacher and I said my hand and arm hurt and I didn't want to play in the final practice. I said I only wanted to play at the Starsearch concert with the rest of the orchestra.Lingling:So Kylie will play the solo, not you. What did your teacher say?Sally:She said she was sorry. She asked me what was the matter. Lingling:And did you tell her the truth?Sally:Well ... I said that my hand and arm hurt. She asked if I was practising too much, and I said that I wasn't. Then she asked if she could help me. I told her not to worry. She told me to look after myself. She told me to rest and get better soon.Lingling:Good idea!

Write down words which you can use to describe it.Read the passage.Dear Mum and Dad,We're spending some time off with Lingling's uncle in Hunan Province, andI'm having a wonderful time here in Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area. It's very large, about 390 square kilometres, and it's a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It's famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some peoplethink they look like soldiers, and others think they look like animals. Before WuGuanzhong, a famous Chinese painter, painted some beautiful pictures of it in 1979, few people knew about the area.Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, I heard a loud noise, as if someone was laughing. I woke up Lingling and her uncle, and I asked them what the noise was. Lingling's uncle told us not to worry, and left the tent to find out what it was. After a few minutes, he told us to come out quietly. Then he pointed into the forest. It was a monkey. When it saw us, it jumped up into the trees and went back into the forest.This morning we took a cable car up Mount Tianzi—it was quite safe! From the top we hoped for a wonderful view of the lakes and forests, but we could only see the mountain tops through the clouds. Then we walked down the path, past trees, waterfalls and plants back to our tent. I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling's uncle told me to wash my hands, and not to touch it, because it was dangerous. He also said that it was wrong to pull leaves and we should protect everything here. I felt sorry.Tomorrow we're going to the second largest fresh water lake in China, Dongting Lake.We'll go back to school next week! Wish you were here!Love,SallyModule8 unit1Listen and read.Tony:Do you have any plans for the May Day holiday, Betty?Betty:My parents and I are going to visit some friends in Shandong Province.

Daming:Do you celebrate May 1st in the UK, Tony?Tony:Well, we celebrate May Day, but the holiday is not always on May 1st. It's the closest Monday to May 1st, and we only have one day off.Betty:In the USA, Labour Day is a national holiday, but on a different date, too. It's on the first Monday in September. And it's the last day before the new school year begins.Lingling:Do you do anything special?Betty:We go camping or we have a picnic somewhere nice, or go to the beach. But it's also the end of the vacation season. When September comes, it starts to get cooler, so after Labour Day we start classes.Daming:We also go back to school as soon as the May Day holiday is over.Lingling:True, but our weather gets better, and then we only have a few weeks before the start of the summer holidays.Betty:Right! So let's enjoy ourselves until we go back to school. Module8 unit2Read the passage, and match the topics with the paragraphs.a.b.c.d.e.An ending and a beginning: ParagraphPeople all over the world celebrate the new year. However, not all countries celebratein the same way, andin some countries, the new year doesn't begin on the same date every year. It can depend on the seasons, the moon or the sun.In many countries, the new year begins on January 1st, but people start celebrating on December 31st, New Year's Eve. In New York many people go to celebrate in Times Square. While they're waiting for the New Year, they listen to music, sing traditional songs and have fun. Just before 12 o'clock, everyone counts down from 10: 10, 9, 8 ... As soon as it's 12 o'clock, everyone shouts very loudly, "Happy New Year!" and they say, "Out with the old year and in with the new!" Suddenly there are fireworks and special drinks. Sometimes people sing an old song called Auld Lang Syne.New Year's Day is often a family day. Some people relax at home. Some families get together for a special meal with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. When the weather is fine, many families go out for a walk.On New Year's Day, many people make resolutions for the new year. They write down a list of things, such as "I will help out more at home. I will work harder at school." or "I won't spend so much time playing video games." When they have made their list, they read it to their family or friends and promise to follow their resolutions.So it doesn't matter how they celebrate, for people in countries all over the world, it's a time to say goodbye to the old year, and to welcome the new.

I'm looking forward to this!Tony:The dance music? Is Sally going to play this piece?Betty:No, she missed the final practice so that Kylie could play this piece of music on her own. She said her hand hurt, but that was only an excuse.Daming:Why did she do that?Betty:I imagine that she did it so that Kylie could avoid problems with her parents. Maybe she's just trying to help Kylie. It was very brave of her.Daming:I agree. It was a very kind thought.Betty:Ssh! They're starting to play, so be quiet!Tony:But look!Lingling:Hi, everyone. Sorry I'm late.Tony:Look! What are Kylie and Sally doing?Lingling:They're standing up because they're both going to play.Betty:What happened?Lingling:Their teacher asked Kylie what was really wrong with Sally. Kylie knew why Sally missed the final practice, so she asked their teacher to rewrite the final dance music so that two people could play it.Tony:Now they're both going to be stars tonight on Starsearch!Lingling:And I bet Sally wins, because she's the real hero tonight! Module9 unit2My Hero—Dr Norman Bethune Norman Bethune is one of China's most famous heroes,but he wasn't Chinese—he was Canadian. He gave his lifeto helping the Chinese people.Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916, and he went to the front to look after injured soldiers in the First World War. He saw many soldiers die in the war. Later he invented new treatments to help soldiers, and medical tools to use outside hospitals.In 1938 he came to China to treat the Chinese soldiers in the mountains north of Yan'an. There were few doctors, so he had to work very hard. He opened hospitals to give treatment to local people and soldiers, and to train doctors and nurses. He also wrote books so that doctors could learn about new treatments.Dr Bethune worked very hard without stopping to rest. Once, he performed operations for 69 hours without stopping, and saved 112 people. He continued working in spite of cutting his hand during an operation. In the end, he died because he did not stop to take care of his hand.Dr Bethune's work with the Chinese soldiers made him a hero in China. There are books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both Canada and China.Module10 unit1Listen and read.Lingling:Now, where's your flight number?Sally:There it is!
