They have part-time jobs at a travel agency. They aresitting in the office.Debbie and Simon looked up as a well-dressed lady entered. The lady glanced at them both, then walked over to greeted her cheerfully. The lady said, ‘I want to go by train to…’Simon sighed and took some papers over to the fax machine. Mr. Young, a senior employee, was standing there. ‘What’s up, Simon You don’t look very happy.’‘People always prefer Debbie to me. I can’t understand it.’‘I can. It’s the way you communicate.’‘How can that be I don’t even get a chance to speak to them.’‘Communicating is more than speaking and listening. Your body language is important, too.’‘Body language’‘It’s the way you stand and sit. It’s your gestures and the expression on your face and in your eyes. Your whole appearance communicates things. The way you look at people doesn’t give them a good impression,Simon. You often rest your head on your hand. You look downwards. You never smile. You don’t turn your head or body towards people. Look at Debbie. She’s holding her head up. She looks atpeo ple’s eyes. She smiles. Your body language is telling people to go away. Debbie’s body language is making them feel welcome. That’s why they go to her for assistance, and not to you.’After that, Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat up and smiled at people. This seemed to work. Minutes later, a very beautiful girl entered. She looked at Debbie and then Simon. Without hesitation she went to Simon and gave him a big smile. A few moments later, she left, still smiling.Mr. Young came over at once and remarked, ‘You made a good impression on her.’‘That was my sister,’ said Simon. ‘She wanted to remind me that tomorrow is her birthday.’U1MR Eye contactEye contact is a form of communication which can mean different things in different cultures. Read this article about eye contact on a website.Thoughout the history of mankind, people have communicated with body language. In many situations, the way you say something is far more important than what you say.Eye contact is sometimes the key to communication. It can signal friendliness or hostility, interest or boredom, and understanding or confusion.In Western cultures, maintaining eye contact in conversations is necessary. As a matter of fact, a westerner might consider a lack of eye contact as a lack of interest. In Spain, Italy and Greece, where people stand clost together talking to each other, eye contact is more frequent and lasts longer.In many Asian cultures, avoiding eye contact shows respect. It is done when talking with anyone in authority or with anyone older.Habits like this can cause problems when people do not understand them. For instance, an Asian might close his eyes in concentration or look down while listening to a speaker. A Western speaker might think the man is not interested.Eye contact is a subtle thing. Avoiding eye contact might beconsidered impolite, but staring at others is also considered rude and should be avoided.U2Reading Care for your hairA new hairdressing salon has opened near your home.

Her penfriends in England are planningto visit China, so Wendy has collected some information from different travel brochures for them. Read the cuttings below.The Great Wall twists and turns along the tops of mountain chains in northern China. It is more than 4,000 kilometres long.Construction of the wall began in the fifth century BC. The wallfinally took shape in the third century BC. From Beijing, you canvisit the Great Wall at Badaling, 65 kilometres north-west of the city. The Great Wall opens at . and closes at 7 . in summer.The Shanghai Museum was designed by Xing Tonghe. Construction of the museum was completed in 1996. The building is a magnificent structure with a square base and a rund top. From a distance, it looks like a ding, an ancient Chinese container for food. The museum includes galleries with ancient Chinese bronze ware, sculptures, paintings, calligraphy, seals and furniture. It is open between 9 . and 5 .The scenery along the Li River in Guilin is just like a beautiful landscape painting. Take a boat trip, and you will be attracted by theodd peaks along the river and their reflections in the river and their reflections in the clear water. You can also walk or cycle along the paths near the river, or take mud baths in nearby caves. Guilin is a good place to go in Spring.U3MR More places to visitWendy and her parents want to take a trip overseas soon. She is looking at this webpage on travel to see where they can go.Angkor WatThe remains of Angkor Wat, with its sculptures and ancient temples, are the pride of Cambodia. Angkor Wat was the captial of the Khmer people. After the Khmer Kingdom was destroyed in 1431, the city was abandoned. It was largely forgtten until it was discovered again in 1858. You can now easily access Angkor Wat by air, and it has hotels nearby.ColosseumThe Colosseum was built in Rome, Italy, in AD 72. This huge stadium could hold more than 50,000 people. It was a popular place for races and fights. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Colosseum fellinto ruin. The site is now the place to see in Italy. You can sit in the stands and imagine the past.Great Pyramids of GizaThe Great Pyramids of Giza overlook the Nile River in Egypt. They were built around 4,500 years ago as tombs for kings. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest of all. It is made of million stone blocks. Each side of the base is 230 metres long. The Pyramids have been damaged over time, but they are still a wonder to see.U4Reading Surprises at the studioRead the excerpt from the novel Mandy and Angela Go to Europe. In this excerpt, Mandy and her friend Angela attend the filming of a TV quiz programme.‘Five minutes until we start filming.’ Shouted the director. ‘Is everyone ready’ ‘I’m glad that I’m not one of thecontestants!’whispered Mandy. ‘They must feel really worried now!’‘Oh, I would love to be a contestant,’ said Angla.The three contestants were sitting at their desks on the stage, waiting. The hot lignts were shining down upon them. Suddenly, one of them, a woman, stood up and then fell forward across her desk.‘Oh, she’s fainted because it’s too hot,’ gasped Mandy. A cameraman helped the woman off the stage.The director hurried down from the control room opposite the stage.‘We need another contestant before the show begins,’ he shouted.‘Who wants to be on TV’ Angela raised her hand. ‘You’re on!’ the director shouted. After he seated her on the stage, a make-up artistrushed forward. She quic kly powdered Angela’s face and combed her hair.‘Ten seconds,’ shouted the director. ‘Smile, everyone. CueLester!’ Everyhone in the audience started clapping.The announcer’s voice boomed, ‘ It’s time for Travel Quiz, and here’s your host, Lester Li!’ Les ter Li came running out and stood in front of the desks. The quiz programme had begun.Angela was terrific. Since she answered the questions easily, she was soon ahead of the other two contestants.Mandy, however, was tense. She sat on the edge of her seat and chewed her fingernails while she watched.Twenty-five minutes later, Angela had beaten the other contestants. She had to answer six mor questions to win the grand prize.Mandy was so excited. She could hardly keep still. Angela kept getting the questions right. There was just one question to go.‘And finally, where is the Colosseum’ asked Lester.‘In Rome, Italy,’ replied Angela.‘Right!’ shouted Lester, as the audience clapped. ‘You have won tonight’s grand prize----a trip for two to the lovely city ofParis!’U4MR New trends in entertainment technologyRead about new trends in entertainment technology from this article in the style section of a newspaper.Have you ever wanted to feel like part of the action while you watched a film You can, at an Imax Dome Theatre like the one at the Shanghia Science and Technology Museum. The screen at these theatres surrounds the audience. As the sound system has 44 speakers behind the screen, the sound seems very real. Many of the films shown at these theatres are nature films.You can achieve a similar effect in your own sitting room with a home entertainment system. A home entertainment system uses a wide, flat-screen TV. Often, this is suspended on the wall like a picture. Stereo speakers are arranged round the viewers. Digital technology makes both the picture and the sound clear.For music lovers, there is always MP3. Since MP3 players were introduced in 1997, people have taken them everywhere. An MP3 player uses digital technology to record and play music. Most MP3 players are smaller than cigarette lighters. They can record hundreds of hours of music. With an MP3 player, you can listen to high-quality music while you are doing nearly anything. You no longer have to carry CDs or cassettes with you.U5Reading Very vegetarianRead this transcript from the weekly TV programme Sally and Sam. In this scene, Sally and her friend Sam are having lunch in a restaurant. Sally: For lunch, I think I’ll have the mixed grill — steak, pork chops, chicken and sausages. Does that sound good to youSam: Sounds horrible! I’m having a salad. No more bits of dead animals for me. I’ve become a vegetarian — a persan who does not eat meat.Sally: Since whenSam: Since I saw this programme on TV.Sally: You’re alwa ys influenced by these programmes. Last month, you saw a programme on space and so you wanted to become an astronaut. What did you see this timeSam: A programme on the meat industry. You shouldn’t eat meat, you know. The animals you eat had to spend their lives crowded together in tiny spaces. Then they were killed.Sally: Poor animals! Oh, here’s my mixed grill!Sam: Animals kept this way can easily get sick, so they have to be given drugs. These drugs may still be in the meat when you eat it. It may be dangerous. Sally Are you listening to meSally: Yes. Please continue. By the way, can you pass the pepperSam: You did not have to eat that! You ought to eat some salad instead. We should use land to grow food for people instead of cattle. Then there’d be no more hungry people in the world.Sally: You will never make me lose my appetite for meat. I need meat because it contains vitamins and minerals not found in vegetables. Vegetables can also be dangerous, you know. Lots of people are madeill because of the pesticides the farmers use on them. Some vegetables even…Sam: I don’t want to hear this. Let’s change the subject.Sally: OK. Do you know where I can buy some…U5MR Neither too little, nor too muchWhat kind of diet is right for you Read this short article on diet and health in a leaflet from a hospital to find out.Many people believe that sugar is not healthy for you. Others say that sugar is the best source of energy. Some people eat meat while others are vegetarians. Who is right What is your opinionThe importance ofhaving a variety of food in one’s diet is quite clear. Scientists advise a balanced diet. A balanced diet is one with food from each of the five food groups: whole grains or wheat, vegetables, fruit, milk and dairy products, and meat and beans. Scientists warn us that a lack of certain kinds of food is dangerous, especially for children. Children’s bodies cannot grow properlywithout a balanced diet. On the other hand, having too much of anyhthing, incl uding one’s favourite food, is equally dangerous. They say, for example, people who eat lots of cheeseburgers and milkshakes will increase their risk of heart attacks.Therefore, we cannot decide what to eat without first doingintelligent research. Scient ific information about the body’s needs for fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins can help us decide on the right choice and the right amount. It can also help us tell facts from wrong opinions.U6Reading The changing colours of our cropsRead this newspaper article about Sunqiao Modern Agricultural Development of Zone in Shanghai.Recently, agriculture has become more colourful. ‘Green agriculture’ means traditional farming that grows plants in soil. ‘Blue agriculture’ farms fish or water plants in natural sources of water such as oceans or lakes. The newest of the colours is ‘white agriculture.’ It is practised at Sunqiao Modern Agricultureal Development Zone in Shanghai.With white agriculture, plants are grown in water. Sometimes sand or small stones are used to help hold up the plants. However, soil is not used. The plants are nourished only by a mixture of water andfertilizer. White agriculture is useful for places with poor soil quality since it makes the best use of both water and fertilizer. Sunqiao is both an experimental research facility and a business enterprise. The research involves making green agriculture more profitable and finding farming techniques which do not use man-made chemicals. It also produces seeds which help famers grow better crops. However, the most unusual aspect of Suqiao is their research on white agriculture.Through this new technology, Sunqiao Modern Agricultural Development Zone has proved to be one of the fastest developing areas in China. Seeds and new varieties of plants from Sunqiao have brought economic benefits to more than 16,000 farming families. The farmers that it has helped now have bigger and better harvests. Their lives have been changed forever.People who live in cities used to regard farming as boring and backward. However, the introduction of modern technology has made Sunqiao famous. Every week, about 5,000 people visit Sunqiao. They appear amazed to see the vegetables which Sunqiao grows without using soil. Farming has become exciting and high-tech. This is a place where technology and nature work well together.U6MR Balancing world dietsHow are Western and Asian diets different Look at this article from a magazine about new trends to find out.Today, in Western countries, weight problems, heart disease and many forms of cancer are becoming more common. In Asia, such kinds of health problems are not as common as in Western countries. Asians appear to live longer as well. Their diets might account for these differences.Asian diets generally have less meat and fewer dairy products. Eggs and chicken are eaten only a few times a week. Sweet food is eaten only in moderation. In contrast to Westerners, Asians eat much rice or noodles. Leafy vegetables like cabbage are on themenu of most Asian meals. Fresh fruit is eaten many times a day. Soya products are often used in cooking. Eating such a variety of food helps Asian people stay healthy. The methods of preparing meals are also different. Vegetable oils are commonly used in Asian cooking. In comparison, butter is used more often in Western cooking.However, fast-food restaurants and Western-style eating patterns have become more common in Asia. This leaves fewer differences between Western and Asian diets. Asians whose diets are like westerners experience more disease and weight problems. Fortunately, many Asians who are aware of this development are paying closer attention to their diets than ever before.。

Book 1 Unit 1ReadingSenior high school brings a lot of new experiences to everyone. The speech below was given tonew senior high school students by their principal, Mr Xu, on the first day of term. Before youread the speech transcript, think about the following questions:•How do you think senior high school will be different from junior high school?•What do you think the principal will talk about in his speech?Hello, everyone! Welcome to senior high school! Today is the start of a new term, the start of a three-year journey and the start of a promising future.I can’t wait to describe to you what senior high school life is like. The path before you leads to a world full of challenges: a new environment, new knowledge and new ways of thinking. However, for those of you with a positive mind, opportunity lies in each challenge. When you rise to the challenges, you will have the opportunity to acquire great knowledge and enjoy personal growth. Most importantly, your time and effort at senior high school will open the door to your potential.“What is potential?” you may ask. Put simply, potential is your natural ability that can be developed when you try hard enough. Who knows what beautiful works of art you will create, what medical advances you will make or what amazing technologies you will develop! The possibilities are endless, and I have confidence in your ability to make a difference to your family, to your community and to our country. Over the next three years, you will discover your potential while you develop as a student and as aperson.To fully realize your potential, it is important for you to make the most of our school resources. Take advantage of your classes, learn from your teachers and classmates, and make use of our school facilities. There are also a lot of school activities for you. Join a club or two, and take an active part in different sports.Of equal importance are good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude. Carefully plan your study, set clear goals and balance your schoolwork with other activities. As a senior high school student, you must make efforts to improve your communication and problem-solving skills. Last but not least, always look on the bright side and never lose hope, even in difficult situations. In time you will find yourself growing into a well-rounded individual.As Lao-Tzu wisely said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” You need to make a continuous effort to train your mind and develop your character. Senior high school will help you learn and grow, yet you alone are responsible for realizing your great potential. Be confident, do your best and make us proud!Extended readingJohn Li, a Chinese senior high school student, has spent a year studying in the UK. Read his article in the school magazine about his school life abroad.\Last year, I had the chance to study at a British secondary school as an exchange student. I stayed with a lovely host family and went to school with their son, Daniel. We were both in year ten and we got on well. He is learning Chinese and will come to stay with me this year in China!The British school day begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. Students usually have to learn nine subjects at secondary school. Every student in the UK must study English, Maths and the Science subjects: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Students can also choose to study other subjects, such as History, Art and Business. The classes are different from those in China. Each teacher has their own classroom and the students move around for every lesson. In most of my classes, there were only about 20 students. In the beginning, however, it was still tough for me to remember everyone’s name!I enjoyed most of the classes, but some of them were quite challenging. Technology classes were fun. I made a clock to take home. The teacher helped me put the parts together. I like it so much that I still use it as my alarm! I found Maths quite easy and enjoyable because the material was less advanced in the UK than in China. However,learning in English was a great challenge for me. There were a lot of difficult English words, especially in Geography and Biology. Class discussion is very important in the UK, but I could not make a great contribution because sometimes I wasn’t able to express myself clearly in English. Although there was not as much homework as I was used to, it was still challenging. Fortunately, my teachers and classmates were always helpful and gave me lots of encouragement. My language skills improved over time.During the hour-long lunchtime, I ate in the school dining hall. There were lots of options including bread and butter, chicken pie and puddings, but I still missed my mum’s cooking! After lunch, I often played on the school’s huge sports field with Daniel and his friends. Sometimes we just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.After school, there were many clubs to join. The one that attracted me most was the Rugby Club. We played once a week, and it was great fun. Also, I enjoyed acting in the Theatre Club. I still have photos of myself acting in William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Joining clubs was a great way to meet British students and make friends with them.I am glad to have the opportunity to experience this different way of life. I met some great people and learnt a lot about school life in the UK. Daniel and his family were fantastic hosts, and his friends were very nice as well. I can’t wait for Daniel to visit China!TranslationUnit 1 Back to schoolReading发挥你的潜能大家好！欢迎进入高中阶段学习！今天，是新学期的开始，是一段三年旅程的开端，更是一个锦绣前程的起点。

Your body language is important, too.’‘Body language’‘It’s the way you stand and sit. It’s your gestures and the expression on your face and in your eyes. Your whole appearance communicates things. The way you look at people doesn’t give them a good impression, Simon. You often rest your head on your hand. You look downwards. You never smile.

This seemed to work. Minutes later, a very beautiful girl entered. She looked at Debby and then Simon. Without hesitation she went to Simon and gave him a big smile.

Her penfriends in England are planning to visit China, so Wendy has collected some information from different travel brochures for them. Read the cuttings below.The Great Wall twists and turns along the tops of mountain chains in northern China. It is more than 4,000 kilometres long.Construction of the wall began in the fifth century BC. The wall finally took shape in the third century BC. From Beijing, you can visit the Great Wall at Badaling, 65 kilometres north-west of the city. The Great Wall opens at 6.30 a.m. and closes at 7 p.m. in summer.The Shanghai Museum was designed by Xing Tonghe. Construction of the museum was completed in 1996. The building is a magnificent structure with a square base and a rund top. From a distance, it looks like a ding, an ancient Chinese container for food. The museum includes galleries with ancient Chinese bronzeware, sculptures, paintings, calligraphy, seals and furniture. It is open between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.The scenery along the Li River in Guilin is just like a beautiful landscape painting. Take a boat trip, and you will be attracted by the odd peaks along the river and their reflections in the river and their reflections in the clear water. You can also walk or cycle along the paths near the river, or take mud baths in nearby caves. Guilin is a good place to go in Spring.U3MR More places to visitWendy and her parents want to take a trip overseas soon. She is looking atthis webpage on travel to see where they can go.Angkor WatThe remains of Angkor Wat, with its sculptures and ancient temples, are the pride of Cambodia. Angkor Wat was the captial of the Khmer people. After the Khmer Kingdom was destroyed in 1431, the city was abandoned. It was largely forgtten until it was discovered again in 1858. You can now easily access Angkor Wat by air, and it has hotels nearby.ColosseumThe Colosseum was built in Rome, Italy, in AD 72. This huge stadium could hold more than 50,000 people. It was a popular place for races and fights. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Colosseum fell into ruin. The site is now the place to see in Italy. You can sit in the stands and imagine the past.Great Pyramids of GizaThe Great Pyramids of Giza overlook the Nile River in Egypt. They were built around 4,500 years ago as tombs for kings. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest of all. It is made of 2.3 million stone blocks. Each side of the baseis 230 metres long. The Pyramids have been damaged over time, but they arestill a wonder to see.U4Reading Surprises at the studioRead the excerpt from the novel Mandy and Angela Go to Europe. In this excerpt, Mandy and her friend Angela attend the filming of a TV quiz programme.‘Five minutes until we start filming.’ Shouted the director. ‘Is everyone ready?’ ‘I’m glad that I’m not one of the contestants!’whispered Mandy.‘They must feel really worried now!’‘Oh, I would love to be a contestant,’ sai d Angla.The three contestants were sitting at their desks on the stage, waiting. Thehot lignts were shining down upon them. Suddenly, one of them, a woman, stood up and then fell forward across her desk.‘Oh, she’s fainted because it’s too hot,’ gasped Mandy. A cameraman helped the woman off the stage.The director hurried down from the control room opposite the stage. ‘We need another contestant before the show begins,’ he shouted. ‘Who wants to be onTV?’ Angela raised her hand. ‘You’re on!’ the direct or shouted. After he seated her on the stage, a make-up artist rushed forward. She quickly powdered Angela’s face and combed her hair.‘Ten seconds,’ shouted the director. ‘Smile, everyone. Cue Lester!’ Everyhone in the audience started clapping.The annou ncer’s voice boomed, ‘ It’s time for Travel Quiz, and here’s your host, Lester Li!’ Lester Li came running out and stood in front of the desks. The quiz programme had begun.Angela was terrific. Since she answered the questions easily, she was soon ahead of the other two contestants.Mandy, however, was tense. She sat on the edge of her seat and chewed her fingernails while she watched.Twenty-five minutes later, Angela had beaten the other contestants. She had to answer six mor questions to win the grand prize.Mandy was so excited. She could hardly keep still. Angela kept getting the questions right. There was just one question to go.‘And finally, where is the Colosseum?’ asked Lester.‘In Rome, Italy,’ replied Angela.‘Right!’ shouted Lester, as the audience clapped. ‘You have won tonight’s grand prize----a trip for two to the lovely city of Paris!’U4MR New trends in entertainment technologyRead about new trends in entertainment technology from this article in thestyle section of a newspaper.Have you ever wanted to feel like part of the action while you watched a film? You can, at an Imax Dome Theatre like the one at the Shanghia Science and Technology Museum. The screen at these theatres surrounds the audience. As the sound system has 44 speakers behind the screen, the sound seems very real. Many of the films shown at these theatres are nature films.You can achieve a similar effect in your own sitting room with a home entertainment system. A home entertainment system uses a wide, flat-screen TV. Often, this is suspended on the wall like a picture. Stereo speakers are arranged round the viewers. Digital technology makes both the picture and the sound clear.For music lovers, there is always MP3. Since MP3 players were introduced in 1997, people have taken them everywhere. An MP3 player uses digital technology to record and play music. Most MP3 players are smaller than cigarette lighters. They can record hundreds of hours of music. With an MP3 player, you can listen to high-quality music while you are doing nearly anything. You no longer haveto carry CDs or cassettes with you.U5Reading Very vegetarianRead this transcript from the weekly TV programme Sally and Sam. In this scene, Sally and her friend Sam are having lunch in a restaurant.Sally: For lunch, I think I’ll have the mixed grill — steak, pork chops, chicken and sausages. Does that sound good to you?Sam: Sounds horrible! I’m having a salad. No more bits of dead animalsfor me. I’ve become a vegetarian — a persan who does not eat meat.Sally: Since when?Sam: Since I saw this programme on TV.Sally: You’re always influenced by these programmes. Last month, you sawa programme on space and so you wanted to become an astronaut. What did yousee this time?Sam: A prog ramme on the meat industry. You shouldn’t eat meat, you know. The animals you eat had to spend their lives crowded together in tiny spaces. Then they were killed.Sally: Poor animals! Oh, here’s my mixed grill!Sam: Animals kept this way can easily get sick, so they have to be given drugs. These drugs may still be in the meat when you eat it. It may be dangerous. Sally? Are you listening to me?Sally: Yes. Please continue. By the way, can you pass the pepper?Sam: You did not have to eat that! You ought to eat some salad instead. We should use land to grow food for people instead of cattle. Then there’d be no more hungry people in the world.Sally: You will never make me lose my appetite for meat. I need meat because it contains vitamins and minerals not found in vegetables. Vegetables can also be dangerous, you know. Lots of people are made ill because of the pesticides the farmers use on them. Some vegetables even…Sam: I don’t want to hear this. Let’s change the subject.Sally: OK. Do you know where I can buy some…U5MR Neither too little, nor too muchWhat kind of diet is right for you? Read this short article on diet and health in a leaflet from a hospital to find out.Many people believe that sugar is not healthy for you. Others say that sugaris the best source of energy. Some people eat meat while others are vegetarians. Who is right? What is your opinion?The importance ofhaving a variety of food in one’s diet is quite clear. Scientists advise a balanced diet. A balanced diet is one with food from each of the five food groups: whole grains or wheat, vegetables, fruit, milk and dairy products, and meat and beans. Scientists warn us that a lack of certain kinds of food is dangerous, especially for children. Children’s bodie s cannot grow properly without a balanced diet. On the other hand, having too much ofanyhthing, including one’s favourite food, is equally dangerous. They say,for example, people who eat lots of cheeseburgers and milkshakes will increase their risk of heart attacks.Therefore, we cannot decide what to eat without first doing intelligent research. Scientific information about the body’s needs for fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins can help us decide on the right choice and the right amount. It can also help us tell facts from wrong opinions.U6Reading The changing colours of our cropsRead this newspaper article about Sunqiao Modern Agricultural Development of Zone in Shanghai.Recently, agriculture has become more colourful. ‘Green agriculture’ meanst raditional farming that grows plants in soil. ‘Blue agriculture’ farms fish or water plants in natural sources of water such as oceans or lakes. The newest of the colours is ‘white agriculture.’ It is practised at Sunqiao Modern Agricultureal Development Zone in Shanghai.With white agriculture, plants are grown in water. Sometimes sand or small stones are used to help hold up the plants. However, soil is not used. The plants are nourished only by a mixture of water and fertilizer. White agriculture is useful for places with poor soil quality since it makes the best use of both water and fertilizer.Sunqiao is both an experimental research facility and a business enterprise. The research involves making green agriculture more profitable and finding farming techniques which do not use man-made chemicals. It also produces seeds which help famers grow better crops. However, the most unusual aspect of Suqiao is their research on white agriculture.Through this new technology, Sunqiao Modern Agricultural Development Zone has proved to be one of the fastest developing areas in China. Seeds and new varieties of plants from Sunqiao have brought economic benefits to more than 16,000 farming families. The farmers that it has helped now have bigger and better harvests. Their lives have been changed forever.People who live in cities used to regard farming as boring and backward. However, the introduction of modern technology has made Sunqiao famous. Every week, about 5,000 people visit Sunqiao. They appear amazed to see the vegetables which Sunqiao grows without using soil. Farming has become exciting and high-tech. This is a place where technology and nature work well together. U6MR Balancing world dietsHow are Western and Asian diets different? Look at this article from a magazine about new trends to find out.Today, in Western countries, weight problems, heart disease and many forms of cancer are becoming more common. In Asia, such kinds of health problems are not as common as in Western countries. Asians appear to live longer as well. Their diets might account for these differences.Asian diets generally have less meat and fewer dairy products. Eggs and chicken are eaten only a few times a week. Sweet food is eaten only in moderation. In contrast to Westerners, Asians eat much rice or noodles. Leafy vegetables like cabbage are on themenu of most Asian meals. Fresh fruit is eaten many times a day. Soya products are often used in cooking. Eating such a variety of food helps Asian people stay healthy. The methods of preparing meals are also different. Vegetable oils are commonly used in Asian cooking. In comparison, butter is used more often in Western cooking.However, fast-food restaurants and Western-style eating patterns have become more common in Asia. This leaves fewer differences between Western and Asian diets. Asians whose diets are like westerners experience more disease and weight problems. Fortunately, many Asians who are aware of this development are paying closer attention to their diets than ever before.。

Last month, you saw a programme on space and so you wanted to become an astronaut. What did you see this timeSam:A programme on the meat industry. You shouldn’t eat meat, you know. The animals you eat had to spend their lives crowded together in tiny spaces. Then they were killed.Sally:Poor animals!

Others say that sugar is the best source of energy. Some people eat meat while others are vegetarians. Who is right What is your opinionThe importance ofhaving a variety of food in one’s diet is quite clear. Scientists advise a balanced diet. A balanced diet is one with food from each of the five food groups: whole grains or wheat, vegetables, fruit, milk and dairy products, and meat and beans. Scientists warn us that a lack of certain kinds of food is dangerous, especially for children. Children’s bodies cannot grow properly without a balanced diet. On the other hand, having t oo much of anyhthing, including one’s favourite food, is equally dangerous. They say, for example, people who eat lots of cheeseburgers and milkshakes will increase their risk of heart attacks.Therefore, we cannot decide what to eat without first doing intelligent research. Scientific information about the body’s needs for fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins can help us decide on the right choice and the right amount. It can also help us tell facts from wrong opinions.U6 The changing colours of our cropsRead this newspaper article about Sunqiao Modern Agricultural Development of Zone in Shanghai.Recently, agriculture has become more colourful. ‘Green agriculture’ means traditional farming that grows plants in soil. ‘Blue agriculture’ farms fish or wate r plants in natural sources of water such as oceans or lakes. The newest of the colours is ‘white agriculture.’ It is practised at Sunqiao Modern Agricultureal Development Zone in Shanghai.With white agriculture, plants are grown in water. Sometimes sand or small stones are used to help hold up the plants. However, soil is not used. The plants are nourishedonly by a mixture of water and fertilizer. White agriculture is useful for places with poor soil quality since it makes the best use of both water and fertilizer.Sunqiao is both an experimental research facility and a business enterprise. The research involves making green agriculture more profitable and finding farming techniques which do not use man-made chemicals. It also produces seeds which help famers grow better crops. However, the most unusual aspect of Suqiao is their research on white agriculture.Through this new technology, Sunqiao Modern Agricultural Development Zone has proved to be one of the fastest developing areas in China. Seeds and new varieties of plants from Sunqiao have brought economic benefits to more than 16,000 farming families. The farmers that it has helped now have bigger and better harvests.

Every week, about 5,000 people visit Sunqiao. They appear amazed to see the vegetables which Sunqiao grows without using soil. Farming has become exciting and high-tech. This is a place where technology and nature work well together.Balancing world dietsHow are Western and Asian diets different Look at this article from a magazine about new trends to find out.Today, in Western countries, weight problems, heart disease and many forms of cancer are becoming more common. In Asia, such kinds of health problems are not as common as in Western countries. Asians appear to live longer as well. Their diets might account for these differences.Asian diets generally have less meat and fewer dairy products. Eggs and chicken are eaten only a few times a week. Sweet food is eaten only in moderation. In contrast to Westerners, Asians eat much rice or noodles. Leafy vegetables like cabbage are on themenu of most Asian meals. Fresh fruit is eaten many times a day. Soya productsare often used in cooking. Eating such a variety of food helps Asian people stay healthy. The methods of preparing meals are also different. Vegetable oils are commonly used in Asian cooking. In comparison, butter is used more often in Western cooking.However, fast-food restaurants and Western-style eating patterns have become more common in Asia. This leaves fewer differences between Western and Asian diets. Asians whose diets are like westerners experience more disease and weight problems. Fortunately, many Asians who are aware of this development are paying closer attention to their diets than ever before.。

They are sitting in the office.Debbie and Simon looked up as a well-dressed lady entered. The lady glanced at them both, then walked over to Debbie.Debbie greeted her cheerfully. The lady said, ‘I want to go by train to…’Simon sighed and took some papers over to the fax machine. Mr. Young, a senior employee, was standing there. ‘What’s up, Simon? You don’t look very happy.’‘People always prefer Debbie to me. I can’t understand it.’‘I can. It’s the way you communicate.’‘How can that be? I don’t even get a chance to speak to them.’‘Communicating is more than speaking and listening. Your body language is important, too.’‘Body language?’‘It’s the way you stand and sit. It’s your gestures and the expression on your face and in your eyes. Your whole appearance communicates things. The way you look at people doesn’t give them a good impression,Simon. You often rest your head on your hand. You look downwards. You never smile. You don’t turn your head or body towards people. Look at Debbie. She’s holding her head up. She looks at people’s eyes. She smiles. Your body language is telling people to go away. Debbie’s body language is making them feel welcome. That’s why they go to her for assistance, and not to you.’After that, Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat up and smiled at people. This seemed to work. Minutes later, a very beautiful girl entered. She looked at Debbie and then Simon. Without hesitation she went to Simon and gave him a big smile. A few moments later, she left, still smiling.Mr. Young came over at once and remarked, ‘You made a good impression on her.’‘That was my sister,’ said Simon. ‘She wanted to remind me that tomorrow is her birthday.’Eye contactEye contact is a form of communication which can mean different things in different cultures.

Her penfriends in England are planning to visit China, so Wendy has collected some information from different travel brochures for them. Read the cuttings below.The Great Wall twists and turns along the tops of mountain chains in northern China. It is more than 4,000 kilometres long.Construction of the wall began in the fifth century BC. The wall finally took shape in the third century BC. From Beijing, you can visit the Great Wall at Badaling, 65 kilometres north-west of the city. The Great Wall opens at 6.30 a.m. and closes at 7 p.m. in summer.The Shanghai Museum was designed by Xing Tonghe. Construction of the museum was completed in 1996. The building is a magnificent structure with a square base and a rund top. From a distance, it looks like a ding, an ancient Chinese container for food. The museum includes galleries with ancient Chinese bronze ware, sculptures, paintings, calligraphy, seals and furniture. It is open between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.The scenery along the Li River in Guilin is just like a beautiful landscape painting. Take a boat trip, and you will be attracted by the odd peaks along the river and their reflections in the river and their reflections in the clear water. You can also walk or cycle along the paths near the river, or take mud baths in nearby caves. Guilin is a good place to go in Spring.More places to visitWendy and her parents want to take a trip overseas soon. She is looking at this webpage on travel to see where they can go.Angkor WatThe remains of Angkor Wat, with its sculptures and ancient temples, are the pride of Cambodia. Angkor Wat was the captial of the Khmer people. After the Khmer Kingdom was destroyed in 1431, the city was abandoned. It was largely forgtten until it was discovered again in 1858. You can now easily access Angkor Wat by air, and it has hotels nearby. ColosseumThe Colosseum was built in Rome, Italy, in AD 72. This huge stadium could hold more than 50,000 people. It was a popular place for races and fights. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Colosseum fell into ruin. The site is now the place to see in Italy. You can sit in the stands and imagine the past.Great Pyramids of GizaThe Great Pyramids of Giza overlook the Nile River in Egypt. They were built around 4,500 years ago as tombs for kings.
