There was a roar of the engine as he kicked it into motion,and suddenly there he was,speeding down the street on his motorcycle.Billy's little brother,Tommy,watched solemnly from the front door.Tommy was only eight years old,but eight was old enough,he thought,for someone to have his very own motorcycle.It didn't seem fair that Billy had a bike and Tommy didn't.So Tommy sat on the front porch,ate his candy bar,and brooded over the matter as he watched Billy slide around the corner.All he wanted was just one ride.When Billy discovered his bike missing the next morning,there was a widespread investigation by the police,his parents,and the neighbours.No one had seen the bike since the day before.As Billy walked off down the sidewalk,heading for the schoo(bus,his attention was attracted by something black glaring at him from under a hedge.He approached slowly,then suddenly broke into a run.There under the hedge was his motorcycle with one badly dented fender.He reached for the handlebars to pull it from under the bushes.When he retracted his hand, there was a familiar sticky substance on his fingers.Tasting the brown sweetness,Billy smiled secretly to himself.He knew he had discovered who had taken his motorcycle for a spin.。

Tell you what, I got a very special piece of clothing when I was in Munich visiting my friend.Last year, when my daughter was graduating from middle school, one of my friend in Munich invited me there together with my family. We attended the great festival “Munich beer festival”.It was a great ceremony or a party. You can see people wearing smile on the face and beautiful clothing.Here it is. I bought the festival costume even my wife and my daughter didn’t agree.I liked it very much, particularly the cowboy hat. It is made of leather and looks cool. Even so, I am keeping it in my closet and never tried it again because in my city, there is no big festival like that.●话题13、18、19：DIY T-shirtA t-shirt I designed.I am going to graduate, take pictures, monitor want us to wear a class T-shirt. Shegave the task to me because they all think I am the craziest boy with the most creative ideas.It is a great Headache to me, do n’t know what to do and how to do.Think about, think it over, come up with a good idea.Suddenly, an idea, change it many times,many pictures, many styles,take it to my classmates, compare, decide which one is our favoriteprint on the Tshirttake pictureI m proud of it.I could enjoy a great sense of achievement.It is worthy even if it has taken much of my time.话题14-1：ComputerWell, as for computer, let me talk about it in detail about its advantages. First, I can use it to help me write my paper. I am a doctor, sometimes I will write papers and publish them. I need to read a lot from the internet and take them as a reference.Secondly, it can make us relax. Sometimes I will feel tired after my work. I may turn it on and listen to some popular music or watch new movies. Tell you what, I am a great fan of Banderi, who is famous for their light music. I heard that their music all come from nature. Every one is natural and peaceful.Finally, I find the computer is also useful and convenient for me to get information.I may get latest information about medine, which is my major; I may get information about news, international news, or information about some products I want to buy. If I have some question, I may raise it online, someone may answer it and I find that is of great help.Anyhow, there are still some weak points. For example, the computer may be infected by t he viruses; there may be some false information, and we don’t know whether it is true or not; and if we play too much of the computer, it is no goodto our health.●话题14-2：Electronic productFlash disk●Transfer information from one pc to another●Safety (3.5 inch soft disk)●you don’t need to carry a pc with you. Portable●fashionable - USB socket, widely used.Save the document, plug it into the USB socketDocumentPrinting storeDuplicator●话题15：FoodWell, the food I like most is seafood noodles. I know some people may not like noodles, but I began to eat it since my childhood. I lived near the seaside in Shandong province. And sometimes I would go out with my elder brother to fish. And when we come back, my mum would cook the seafood noodles for me. My mum is good at preparing the seafood jam, which includes oyster, shrimp, or any other seafood that you can think of. It is not only delicious, but also healthy to us. And there is something interesting I have to mention. Now I am not living in shandong. I have settled down in a booming industry city, tangshan. When I first came here, I didn’t try noodles at all because it gave out a very different odor.I don’t like it, bu t I am used to it now. Even so, if I could find a restaurant that serves seafood noodles. I would go there and try it without hesitation.●话题17：A letter from my high school monitorAfter graduation from high school, less contact, no way or no time to find out where they are, or what they are doingGot an opportunity – email from monitorCheck up my mailbox, found an email, title was just a website addressI had thought it was a spam. I had almost thrown it to the trash box. I hesitated.I opened it.Click, class website, leave messages, update our personal contact information ConvenientReply, Thanks to our monitorSince then, a new platform to contact with each other, it is like my online home. It brought back to me the good memories in high school.●话题18：GiftA book of my ownMother’s day is coming? What gift? An idea-print it out my journals, make it into a book.Write Journals online every day, about my life and study, share with my cyber friends.My mum concerns about me a lot and wants to know everything that is happening around me.But she would not call me every day because she knows that I will feel boring or annoyed sometimes.This is a good way for me to tell my mum what my life was like.Mum told me that she read it carefully many times.I was planning to give the same gift to her next year.●话题21：RobotScience and technology Museum in Beijing, gift shop, I saw a sportsman robot. Body gestures/behaviors, stretch or extend his arms, walk, shake the legs, boxing gesturesA Remote control, it can direct him to do different actions.I was deeply attracted by him, persuade my mum to buy it for meEven if it is broken, I am still keeping it in my cabinet.Now, we have robots with human Intelligence.I’ve seen many robot guides in this 2010 Shanghai Expo. They are helping people to find ways, or some other info about the museums.They can help us by working under dangerous, or poisonous environment. In future, there will be more robots that will do good to our life.Robots cannot replace human being1)People make it, people give instructions to the robots. Human beings are thedirector.Human intelligence is the higher level of instructions given by people.Robots can give different feedback according to different choices.2)Human beings are always smarter than the robots. We are learning andimproving all the time, so surely, we are the master of the world.话题22：CollectingPostcards of major universitiesWhy? Before college entrance examination, My university is …, it is not a major one. It was a pity.I really wanted to know how other schools are like.Wrote lettersExpressed my ideas +直接引语Post and wait for replyIt surprised me a lot. I received a many postcards from those schools.

Reading Comprehension.1Nature has devised many ways to protect creatures' eyes. The most common protection is the eyelid--a fold of skin that closes over the eye, protecting it from damage. Eyelashes are useful for keeping out dust and other irritants, and tears wash away any particles that get through the other defenses.Some creatures, including most birds, have three eyelids. The upper and lower lids act like human lids and keep out twigs, dirt and sand. The third eyelid, however, is a semitransparent tissue that crosses over the eye from the inside corner to the outside corner. Because of this protective membrane, birds seldom have to blink. They close their eyes only when they go to sleep. In ducks, this third eyelid self as an underwater diving mask that helps the ducks find food.Most fish and snakes have no eyelids at all. Instead, a hard glassy covering protects their eyes. In fish, water constantly sweeps away dirt from the covering. And a snake's eyesight is usually so bad that a little dirt obscuring its vision does not disturb it greatly.Eyelashes defend the eye by shading it from glare. They also act like miniature brushes to remove dust. Camels have lashes that are four inches long to protect their eyes from windblown sand in the desert.1. A camel has long eyelashes________.A．to keep windblown sand out of its eyes B．that get in the way of its sightC．to help it see better D．to attract other camels2. The writer implies that eyelids are________.A．not found on lizards B．nice to look atC．always covered with eyelashes D．the most effective eye protection3. The author compares the duck's third eyelid to a________.A．tissue B．glassy covering C．tiny brush D．diving mask4. A good title for this passage would be________.A．Look Out B．Birds' Eyes C．Eyes in the Night D．Protecting the Eye2Body language is of great importance to humans. We carry many of the meanings through body movements. however, many forms of body language we consider to be fine in our country can get us into trouble in other parts of the world.A smile is one of the most common examples in different countries. While Americans smile freely at strangers, in Russia this is considered strange and even impolite. In Asia countries a smile isn’t necessarily an expression of joy but it can be used to express pain.The acceptable physical distance is another major difference. In Latin America and the Middle East the acceptable distance is much shorter than what most Europeans and Americans feel comfortable with. Hand and arm movements as a form of body language are also very different among countries. Handshakes are usually acceptable almost everywhere, even between strangers; however, kissing on the check and touching on the shoulder or other body parts aren’t. For many people in Asia and other parts of the world, such actions are seen as a violation (侵犯) of one’s personal space. This is why you should not touch others easily.Eye contact(目光接触) is one of the forms of body language where the differences are most striking. In America and Latin America looking the other person in the eye is a sign of respect. But in Asia countries, prolonged (过长的) eye contact is especially rude, so you should try your bestnot to do that.1. To humans, body language is _______.A. funnyB. strangeC. importantD. uncommon2. In which place is smiling at strangers considered impolite?A. AsiaB. RussiaC. The U.S.D. Latin America3. Which form of body language is acceptable almost everywhere?A. Shaking handsB. Keeping a short distanceC. Kissing on the cheekD. Touching on the shoulder4. What does striking in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?A. Easy to noticeB. Difficult to acceptC.

As it has a seat at the back and a basket at the front, I can take my little daughter to school, to the library, to the shops, to anywhere.I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and the rain is heavy.You must, of course, be careful on bicycle. Accidents are not the only problem, though. One day I went shopping and came back to find my front wheel missing. It was a long walk to the bicycle shop. Now I have three strong locks.My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for short journeys. He says it is better than waiting for a bus. He still uses his car for longer journey, but I think that all this sitting down is making him fat and lazy. On my bicycle I get a lot of exercises and fresh air, and this makes me feel a lot younger.1. The writer’s husband bought her _______ two years ago.A. a new carB. a new bikeC. a front wheelD. a shopping basket2.

Riding a bike _____ , and it can make you feel younger.A. is a good exercisesB. makes you fatC. is too dangerousD. is not good for your health5When wine was first made, winemakers found that it turned sour instead of staying sweet. They did not know what to do. At last, they asked Louis Pasteur, a French scientist, to find out why it turned sour. The scientists working with Pasteur said that there was something in the grape juice that made the wine sour. But Pasteur did not think so. He carried out many experiments and finally found the reason for the wine’s turning sour.He discovered that some microbes (微生物) and germs (细菌) that lived in the air had entered the wine and acted on it, thus making the wine sour. Pasteur also discovered that milk left in the open for a few days became sour in the same way.Pasteur thought he could help the winemakers find a way to kill the microbes. He told them to heat their wine to a certain temperature and then to cool it quickly. In this way, the microbes would be killed. This method of preserving the wine came to be known as pasteurization(巴斯德氏杀菌法).Pasteur did the same thing with the milk. He heated some milk, put it in a sterilized(消过毒的) container and sealed it. The germs could not enter the milk to cause it to sour. Many of the things we buy today are pasteurized.1.

How often does the student ride her bicycle? What does the student think of bicycles? Why does the student feel it is easy to ride a bicycle in Beijing?
On the other hand, you can’t ride for too long. For long distances, you can’t ride your bike and you should take the bus or the train instead. If you live far away from your workplace, you can’t depend on your bicycle. And it’s the same when it’s raining. It’s really unpleasant to ride on a rainy day. You’ll get splashed by cars and you’ll end up soaked.

Unit One Section ATime-Conscious AmericansI.Background information1.Time OrientationAmericans place considerable value on punctuality. Because they tend to organize their activities by means of schedules, they may seem harried, always running from one thing to the next and unable to relax and enjoy themselves. Since Americans are so time conscious, the pace of life may seem very hectic(紧张的). Being on time is regarded as very important, and in the U.S. most people make an effort to arrive on time. Not all Americans are punctual, but almost everyone is conscious of time. Different types of activities have different conventions. One should arrive at the exact time specified for meals, and for appointments with professors, doctors, and other professionals. You can arrive any time between the hours specified for parties, receptions, and cocktail parties. Plan to arrive a few minutes before the specified time for public meetings, plays, concerts, movies, sports events, classes, church services, and weddings. If you are unable to keep an appointment, it is expected that you inform the other party that you will be late or unable to arrive.2.
