外研版九年级英语上全册课文翻译Module 1 Wonders of the worldUnit 1: It’s more than 2000 years old.托尼:我们给《世界奇观》节目打电话，加入讨论吧。
我觉得自然奇观比人造奇观更有趣。
而且我认为巨人之路是最神奇的自然奇观。
玲玲:嗯，我没有见过巨人之路，所以我不知道该不该同意你的看法。
你为什么会喜欢它呢，托尼？托尼:哦，两年前我浏览了巨人之路。
它非常大，由大约4万多块石块组成，大多数石块都有六个面。
巨人之路位于北爱尔兰东海岸，绵延数百米。
玲玲:听起来很神奇，但我认为非洲的维多利亚瀑布更壮观。
瀑布宽约1700米，高约100米，数千米之外就能听到瀑布的巨响。
贝蒂:哇！那么大啊！但是，在我看来，人造奇观比自然奇观更激动人心。
就说兵马俑吧，它们都有两千多年的历史了。
大明:我同意你的看法，贝蒂。
我觉得三峡大坝也很神奇。
大坝长约2300米，高185米，顶部宽15米。
它为中国数百万的人口供电。
贝蒂:那现在谁来拨打热线？Unit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big .自然界的一大奇观我到那里时是大清早，天下着雨。
我朝东边看了看，天空变得灰蒙蒙的。
我下了车，穿过一道门，沿着一条黑暗的小路前行。
虽然什么也看不见，但我知道它就在那里。
大约走了一英里，小路边出现了一个陌生人。
我问道：“我走的路对吗？”他知道我要去哪里。
他答道：“对，五分钟后你就能到达那里。
”终于，我走到一些岩石前停了下来。
我朝那片岩石望过去，但是一片寂静，还是看不见它。
突然，雨停了，云散了。
太阳从我身后升起，照在岩石上。
地面(仿佛在随着光线)向下延伸，（逐渐）退落到下面的一条河里。
我在眺望着这自然界奇观之一的大峡谷。
我俯视着距我一英里之遥的银色的科罗拉多河。
即使你把世界上最高的两栋建筑物叠在一起放在谷底，它们仍就到不到了顶。
然后我眺望峡谷的另一边。
它大约在15英里之外，也许更远。
外研版九年级英语上册Unit2课文原文
Module 1When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark.I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.After about a kilometer, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “yes,” he replied, “you‟ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rock, and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.I looked down to the Colorado River about 2,000 metres below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won‟t reach the top. Then I looked across to the othe r side of the canyon. How far is it? It‟s 20 kilometres, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance...over 400 kilometres long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It‟s huge!That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question.It‟s not “how deep is it? ” or “how wide is it? ”or “how long is it? ” but “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world? ” I know the answer. But what do you think?Module 2My favourite great book is the adventures of tom sawyer by mark twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg, Missouri. He‟s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of gold. My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks T om is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they‟re also pleased to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom‟s best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The themes of the story are to do with children growing up and becoming more serious. It describes how strangers are seen in smalltowns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.Why do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it‟s stil l read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it‟s only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. T oday it‟s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on---read it! I know you‟ll enjoy it, too.Module 3For liu Xiang, life as a sporting hero has just begun. First of all, he‟ll be invited to competitions around the world. He‟ll be chosen to represent China at the Olympic Games. H e‟s a symbol of China‟s international sporting success.And now that he‟s well known all over the world, liu Xiang will also be asked to appear in advertisements and films, and even to record music. But his coach Sun Haiping is making sure that he trains regularly. Liu Xiang will be advised by his coach how to be a great sportsman, and by his manager how to be a star.Liu Xiang is not an overnight success. He was born in Shanghai on July 13, 1983 and like many Olympic sports stars, he stared trainingwhen he was very young. In Grade Four, he went to the Junior Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train as a high jumper. Then, in 1998,his skill at hurdling was noticed by his coach Sun Haiping.Liu Xiang was helped by a special programme. It was set up in 2001 to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu‟s races were recorded, and his performance was compared with the world‟s best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change Liu‟s training programme. In 2002 he won his first international 110m hurdles event in Switzerland, and in the same year, a gold medal at the Asia Games in Korea. In 2004, Liu won the first Olympic gold medal in the same event for China in Athens, Greece.So what‟s next for Liu Xiang? Has he found out that there‟s more to life than training? Will he be encouraged to spend more time away form sport?No, Liu Xiang will go for more medals for China because he was trained for gold!Module 4Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And everynight, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Y ao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made of silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, of wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren‟t many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. The first printed books were made by putting ink against a wooden block and holding the paper against it. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly, in a way that can be compared with the introduction of the Internet in the 20th century.But will books be needed in the future? T oday information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players. These machines are smaller and lighter than books so that they can be carried very easily.Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers andmagazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don‟t think the Y ao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!Module 5The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there‟s no shouting and no running, and you aren‟t allowed to touch the exhibits. But the Science Museum is different...because it‟s noisy! People talk about what the can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it‟s a great way t o learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. Y ou can also learn how to make explosions. I also go to the Rocket Show. Y ou can learn how we travel into space and back again.Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room. Y ou can compare your speed with animals there. Y ou hear a noise and push a button. If you aren‟t fast enough, the lion catches you! I‟m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry.Y ou can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn‟t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like--- it‟s open every day, from 10am to 6pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It‟s my favourite muse um in the whole world.Module 6Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school?Do you buy new clothes just because they are the latest fashions?Do you open a window instead of turning on air conditioning?Do you buy things produced locally instead of made abroad?Do you take you own clot bag when shopping instead of using plastic bags?Do you sort the waste before throwing it away?We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every dayand it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.ReduceReduce means “use less”. Don‟t wa ste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary---- or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad. It may cost a lot of money to bring them to us.ReuseReuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don‟t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It‟s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.RecycleRecycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it‟s better thanthrowing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling progremmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.Questions:p45Module 7I‟m writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia.At the moment we‟re staying near Uluru--- that‟s the Aboriginal name for Ayer Rock. On the first day, we took a helicopter tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high. The colours of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times, and the ancient Aboriginal storied describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a centre of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives and they‟re like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but the games that they love the most are football, cricket and rugby. Because most Australians live near the coast, they love going to the beach,swimming and surfing.Although it‟s December, it‟s summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.Most Australians speak English, although they have some special expressions such as “good day! ” And “ no worries, mate.” They mean “hello!” and “don‟t worry about it. it‟s not a problem!”The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper, and I got very tired. Everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down...Finally, later t his evening, we‟re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It‟s been a fantastic trip!Module 8We were very pleased with the photo competition. Compared with other years, we received many more photos. Even though all of the photos are excellent, we can‟t give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.The person who won the prize for the “Most Beautiful Nature” photography is fifteen-year-old Li Wei. Li took photos of themountains in Xiangshang Park. The park isn‟t far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it very well.The photo which we liked best in the “Historic China” group was taken by Zhao Min. Zhao is only 12 years old. Her photo is of Tian‟anmen Square, the largest public square in the world. It‟s 880 metres from north to south and 500 metres wide at the northern end. Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.The best photo in the “Music” category was taken by He Zhong. His photo of his this year‟s best band Craz y Feet shows the singer, Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great new band, and the fun which their fans are having.A collection of photos called the “Many Faces of Our City” which features Beijing won the prize for the “Most Unusual” category. Three pupils at the same school worked on this entry. It includes photos of different parts of the city, old and new. It successfully shows the rich culture which makes Beijing so famous.Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition. We are very luck that the famous photographer John William is in China to talk about his new book. Ha has agreed to present the prizes at the prize giving ceremony at the end of this month.Module 9 cartoon heroesNemo, a cute orange-and white fish, and Sherk, a huge green monster have won the hearts of young people in China and all over the world. The heroes of popular cartoons are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and computer screens.But there are some cartoon favourites which are older. The cartoon of the Monkey King has just had its 40th birthday. Called Havoc in Heaven, it tells the story of a monkey who leads a group of monkeys against the rule of the Emperor in heaven. But it is above all the jokes played by the monkey that people remember. “Havoc in Heaven” has become a common expression used by a parent or a boss when they return to the house or office and see a mess.Another favourite who has celebrated an important birthday in China is a reporter with red hair and a small white dog. Tintin has been popular for 75 years, ever since Belgian cartoonist Herge invented the character in 1929. His books have been translated into more than 50 languages, and about 200 million copies have been sold. In December 1984 the whole series of Tintin began to be published in china. Many Chinese still keep collections of these black-and-white Tintin books. There are several fan clubs in China which have held birthday parties for Tintin in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjingand Wuhan.Finally, Snoopy, Charlie Brown‟s lovable dog who lives in his own private dream world, also had his 50th birthday celebrated by China‟s Snoopy fans in 2000.I didn‟t draw the cart oons only for children. Adults who have experienced life understand them better, said the late Charles Schultz, creator of Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons.Module 10Jamie Oliver is a young cook who wants to improve school dinners. In 2005 he went back to see what the children were eating.1.----------Jamie asked the children what their meals were like. “we have hamburgers and chips, or pizza,” they told him, “and sometimes there is fruit, but we prefer ice cream.” Jamie thought the menu was terrible. The children were eating junk food, and it was a problem. Junk food isn‟t just bad for the body. Children whose midday meals were unhealthy were difficult to teach in the afternoon. T eachers said that children behaved very badly after lunch.2.-------------W hen Jamie took vegetables into class, the children didn‟t know what they were. Jamie realized that the children didn‟t know abouthealthy food. Then he talked to the people who worked in the kitchens. He found out that they didn‟t know enough about food an d health, and they didn‟t have very much money to spend.3.--------------He decided to teach the cooks and the children about healthy food. It was hard work! He cooked healthy meals for them including meat, rice, pasta and vegetables, but a lot of the teenagers refused to eat the new food. Jamie showed them why the junk food wasn‟t healthy. In the end, when Jamie persuaded them to try his cooking, they liked it!4.-------------Jamie talked to the government. He told them they needed to ban junk food form schools, train the cooks, educate the children and spend more money on school dinners. A lot of parents, teachers and children agreed with him, and a TV programme showed his visits to the school. Jamie is a cook whose ideas are changing school dinners all over Britain.Module 11 Visions of the cityJo is 15 and lives in Parkville. When Jo‟s grandparents first came to Parkville 50 years ago, it was a quiet country village in the centre of the country. At that time, they had a small house on the edge of town, with some fields and the hills in the distance.But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick, with about 200,000 people. People from the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life. And of course they needed somewhere to live. However, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge of the city. And soon Parkville became a suburb of Arnwick. It now has over a million people. Jo‟s family live in one of those new flats –there‟s no room for small houses any more.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago. Jo goes to a school close to the centre of Arnwick, with 2000 pupils. No one knows all their names.Jo takes an hour to get to school, and adds to the traffic and pollution. But it‟s not her fault. She liked her old school.Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, better public transport and fewer private cars. There need to be shops and offices. It also needs clean water and no r ubbish in the streets. It‟s difficult to run a big city, and to protect people from crime. So it also needs more laws and more taxes to pay for everything.Well, what do you think of all this? Do you like the things which are happening in Parkville? In fac t, “visions of the city” is just a story. But does your town have the same problems as Arnwick?Module 12We provide summer English courses which are the best you can find.

It’s huge!That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question.

At the moment we’re staying near Uluru--- that’s the Aboriginal name for Ayer Rock. On the first day, we took a helicopter tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high. The colours of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times, and the ancient Aboriginal storied describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a centre of Aboriginal culture. The Australians have many British relatives and they’re like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but the games that they love the most are football, cricket and rugby. Because most Australians live near the coast, they love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it’s December, it’s summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.Most Australians speak English, although they have some special expressions such as “good day! ” And “ no worries, mate.” They mean “hello!” and “don’t worry about it. it’s not a problem!”The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper, and I got very tired. Everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down...Finally, later t his evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It’s been a fantastic trip!Module 8We were very pleased with the photo competition. Compared with other years, we received many more photos. Even though all of the photos are excellent, we can’t give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.The person who won the prize for the “Most Beautiful Nature” photography is fifteen-year-old Li Wei. Li took photos of the mountains in Xiangshang Park. The park isn’t far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it very well.The photo which we liked best in the “Historic China” groupwas taken by Zhao Min. Zhao is only 12 years old. Her photo is of Tian’anmen Square, the largest public square in the world. It’s 880 metres from north to south and 500 metres wide at the northern end. Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.The best photo in the “Music” category was taken by He Zhong. His photo of his this year’s best band Craz y Feet shows the singer, Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great new band, and the fun which their fans are having.A collection of photos called the “Many Faces of Our City” which features Beijing won the prize for the “Most Unusual” category. Three pupils at the same school worked on this entry. It includes photos of different parts of the city, old and new. It successfully shows the rich culture which makes Beijing so famous.Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition. We are very luck that the famous photographer John William is in China to talk about his new book. Ha has agreed to present the prizes at the prize giving ceremony at the end of this month.Module 9 cartoon heroesNemo, a cute orange-and white fish, and Sherk, a huge green monster have won the hearts of young people in China and all over the world. The heroes of popular cartoons are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and computer screens.But there are some cartoon favourites which are older. The cartoon of the Monkey King has just had its 40th birthday. Called Havoc in Heaven, it tells the story of a monkey who leads a group of monkeys against the rule of the Emperor in heaven. But it is above all the jokes played by the monkey that people remember. “Havoc in Heaven” has become a common expression used by a parent or a boss when they return to the house or office and see a mess.Another favourite who has celebrated an important birthday in China is a reporter with red hair and a small white dog. Tintin has been popular for 75 years, ever since Belgian cartoonist Herge invented the character in 1929. His books have been translated into more than 50 languages, and about 200 million copies have been sold. In December 1984 the whole series of Tintin began to be published in china. Many Chinese still keep collections of these black-and-white Tintin books. There are several fan clubs in China which have held birthdayparties for Tintin in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Wuhan.Finally, Snoopy, Charlie Brown’s lovable dog who lives in his own private dream world, also had his 50th birthday celebrated by China’s Snoopy fans in 2000.I didn’t draw the cart oons only for children. Adults who have experienced life understand them better, said the late Charles Schultz, creator of Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons.Module 10Jamie Oliver is a young cook who wants to improve school dinners. In 2005 he went back to see what the children were eating.1.----------Jamie asked the children what their meals were like. “we have hamburgers and chips, or pizza,” they told him, “and sometimes there is fruit, but we prefer ice cream.” Jamie thought the menu was terrible. The children were eating junk food, and it was a problem. Junk food isn’t just bad for the body. Children whose midday meals were unhealthy were difficult to teach in the afternoon. Teachers said that children behaved very badly after lunch.2.-------------W hen Jamie took vegetables into class, the children didn’t know what they were. Jamie realized that the children didn’t know about healthy food. Then he talked to the people who worked in the kitchens. He found out that they didn’t know enough about food an d health, and they didn’t have very much money to spend.3.--------------He decided to teach the cooks and the children about healthy food. It was hard work! He cooked healthy meals for them including meat, rice, pasta and vegetables, but a lot of the teenagers refused to eat the new food. Jamie showed them why the junk food wasn’t healthy. In the end, when Jamie persuaded them to try his cooking, they liked it!4.-------------Jamie talked to the government. He told them they needed to ban junk food form schools, train the cooks, educate the children and spend more money on school dinners. A lot of parents, teachers and children agreed with him, and a TV programme showed his visits to the school. Jamie is a cook whose ideas are changing school dinners all over Britain.Module 11 Visions of the cityJo is 15 and lives in Parkville. When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville 50 years ago, it was a quiet country village in the centre of the country. At that time, they had a small house on the edge of town, with some fields and the hills in the distance.But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick, with about 200,000 people. People from the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life. And of course they needed somewhere to live. However, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge of the city. And soon Parkville became a suburb of Arnwick. It now has over a million people. Jo’s family live in one of those new flats –there’s no room for small houses any more.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago. Jo goes to a school close to the centre of Arnwick, with 2000 pupils. No one knows all their names.Jo takes an hour to get to school, and adds to the traffic and pollution. But it’s not her fault. She liked her old school.Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, betterpublic transport and fewer private cars. There need to be shops and offices. It also needs clean water and no rubbish in the streets. It’s difficult to run a big city, and to protect people from crime. So it also needs more laws and more taxes to pay for everything.Well, what do you think of all this? Do you like the things which are happening in Parkville? In fac t, “visions of the city” is just a story. But does your town have the same problems as Arnwick?Module 12We provide summer English courses which are the best you can find. You will enjoy coming to Los Angeles to learn about American culture and improve your English at the same time. The courses last for four, six or eight weeks.

外研版九年级英语上册unit2课文原文
外研版九年级英语上册unit2课文原文Module 1When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark.I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.After about a kilometer, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rock, and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.I looked down to the Colorado River about 2,000 metres below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the othe r side of the canyon. How far is it? It’s 20 kilometres, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance...over 400 kilometres long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It’s huge!That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question.It’s not “how deep is it? ” or “how wide is it? ”or “how long is it? ” but “Is the Grand Canyon the grea test wonder anywhere in the natural world? ” I know the answer. But whatdo you think?Module 2My favourite great book is the adventures of tom sawyer by mark twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg, Missouri. He’s a liv ely and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of gold. My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but th ey’re also pleased to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom’s best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The themes of the story are to do with children growing up and becoming more serious. It describes how strangers are seen in smalltowns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.Why do I think T om Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s stil l read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th ce ntury, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on---read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.Module 3For liu Xiang, life as a sporting hero has just begun. First of all, he’ll be invited to competitions around the world. He’ll be chosen to represent China at the Olympic Games. H e’s a symbol of China’s international sporting success.And now that he’s well known all over the world, liu Xiang will also be asked to appear in advertisements and films, and even to record music. But his coach Sun Haiping is making sure that he trains regularly. Liu Xiang will be advised by his coach how to be a great sportsman, and by his manager how to be a star.Liu Xiang is not an overnight success. He was born in Shanghai on July 13, 1983 and like many Olympic sports stars, he stared trainingwhen he was very young. In Grade Four, he went to the Junior Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train as a high jumper. Then, in 1998,his skill at hurdling was noticed by his coach Sun Haiping.Liu Xiang was helped by a special programme. It was set up in 2001 to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu’s races were recorded, and his performance was compared with the world’s best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change Liu’s training programme. In 2002 he won his first international 110m hurdles event in Switzerland, and in the same year, a gold medal at the Asia Games in Korea. In 2004, Liu won the first Olympic gold medal in the same event for China in Athens, Greece.So what’s next for Liu Xiang? Has he found out that there’s more to life than training? Will he be encouraged to spend more time away form sport?No, Liu Xiang will go for more medals for China because he was trained for gold!Module 4Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And everynight, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made of silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, of wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren’t many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. The first printed books were made by putting ink against a wooden block and holding the paper against it. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly, in a way that can be compared with the introduction of the Internet in the 20th century.But will books be needed in the future? T oday information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players. These machines are smaller and lighter than books so that they can be carried very easily.Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers andmagazines can already be read online. So will books bereplaced by computers one day? No, I don’t think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!Module 5The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there’s no shouting and no running, and you aren’t allowed to touch the exhibits. But the Science Museum is different...because it’s noisy! People talk about what the can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it’s a great way t o learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. You can also learn how to make explosions. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button. If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry.You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like---it’s open every day, from 10am to 6pm. So if you ever go to London, make s ure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favourite muse um in the whole world.Module 6Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school?Do you buy new clothes just because they are the latest fashions?Do you open a window instead of turning on air conditioning?Do you buy things produced locally instead of made abroad?Do you take you own clot bag when shopping instead of using plastic bags?Do you sort the waste before throwing it away?We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every dayand it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.ReduceReduce means “use less”. Don’t wa ste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary---- or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad. It may cost a lot of money to bring them to us.ReuseReuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a longtime. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.RecycleRecycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better thanthrowing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling progremmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.Questions:p45Module 7I’m writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia.At the moment we’re staying near Ulu ru--- that’s the Aboriginal name for Ayer Rock. On the first day, we took a helicopter tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high. The colours of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times, and the ancient Aboriginal storied describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a centre of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives and they’re like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies.

Everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down...Finally, later t his evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It’s been a fantastic trip!Module 8We were very pleased with the photo competition. Compared with other years, we received many more photos. Even t hough all of the photos are excellent, we can’t give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.The person who won the prize for the “Most Beautiful Nature” photography is fifteen-year-old Li Wei. Li took photos of themountains in Xiangshang Park. The park isn’t far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it very well.The photo which we liked best in the “Historic China” group was taken by Zhao Min. Zhao is only 12 years old.

Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.The best photo in the “Music” category was taken by He Zhong. His photo o f his this year’s best band Craz y Feet shows the singer, Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great new band, and the fun which their fans are having.A collection of photo s called the “Many Faces of Our City” which features Beijing won the prize for the “Most Unusual” category. Three pupils at the same school worked on this entry. It includes photos of different parts of the city, old and new. It successfully shows the rich culture which makes Beijing so famous.Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition. We are very luck that the famous photographer John William is in China to talk about his new book. Ha has agreed to present the prizes at the prize giving ceremony at the end of this month.Module 9 cartoon heroesNemo, a cute orange-and white fish, and Sherk, a huge green monster have won the hearts of young people in China and all over the world. The heroes of popular cartoons are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and computer screens.But there are some cartoon favourites which are older. The cartoon of the Monkey King has just had its 40th birthday. Called Havoc in Heaven, it tells the story of a monkey who leads a group of monkeys against the rule of the Emperor in heaven.

There are several fan clubs in China which have held birthday parties for Tintin in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjingand Wuhan.Finally, Snoopy, Charlie Brown’s lovable dog who lives in his own private dream world, also had his 50th birthday celebrated by China’s Snoopy fans in 2000.I didn’t draw the cart oons only for children. Adults who have experienced life understand them better, said the late Charles Schultz, creator of Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons.Module 10Jamie Oliver is a young cook who wants to improve school dinners.

When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville 50 years ago, it was a quiet country village in the centreof the country. At that time, they had a small house on the edge of town, with some fields and the hills in the distance.But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick, with about 200,000 people. People from the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life. And of course they needed somewhere to live. However, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge of the city. And soon Parkville became a suburb of Arnwick. It now has over a million pe ople. Jo’s fa mily live in one of those new flats –there’s no room for small houses any more.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago. Jo goes to a school close to the centre of Arnwick, with 2000 pupils. No one knows all their names.Jo takes an hour to get to school, and adds to the traffic and pollution. But it’s not her fault. She liked her old school.Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, better public transport and fewer private cars. There need to be shops and offices. It also needs clean water and no rubbish in the streets. It’s difficult to run a big city, and to protect people from crime. So it also needs more laws and more taxes to pay for everything.Well, what do you think of all this? Do you like the things which are happeni ng in Parkville? In fact, “visions of the city” is just a story.But does your town have the same problems as Arnwick?Module 12We provide summer English courses which are the best you can find.

你为什么喜欢它，托尼?托尼：好的，两年前我参观了巨人之路。
它是巨大的。
大约有40000块岩石，它们中的大多数有六个边。
它在北爱尔兰的东海岸延伸了几百米。
玲玲：那听起来太棒了，虽然我认为在非洲的Victoria Fall 是甚至更加奇妙。
它大约1700米宽和100米高。
你能够从几公里远的地方听到大声的噪音。

看看Terracotta Army. 它两千多年了。
大明：我同意你，贝蒂。
并且我认为the Three Gorges Dam 也是奇妙的。
它大约2300米长，185米高并且在顶端15米宽。
在中国它为数百万人发电。
贝蒂：现在，谁想第一个打电话?Module 1 unit 2自然界的伟大的奇观当我到达的时候，是一大早并且天正下着雨。
我往东方看去---天空正变成灰色。
我走下车，穿过一道门并且沿着一条黑暗的小路走。
什么也看不到，但是我知道它就在那里。
大约走了一英里之后，一个陌生人在小路边出现了。
“我走了正确的路吗?”我问。
他知道我将要去哪里。
“是的”，他回答，“你将在五分钟后到达那里。
”最后，我来到一些岩石旁并且停下来。
我仔细从上方看去，但是它是寂静的并且没有它的标志。
突然，雨停了并且云散了。
太阳从我身后升起并且照耀着岩石。
在我的下方很远，地面下沉并且到一条河里。
我正欣赏着自然界的奇观之一------大峡谷。
我向下看Colorado River，在我下方将近一英里的银色小溪。
如果你把世界上最高的两座建筑物叠加起来放在大峡谷的底部，它们仍然不能到达顶部。
然后我向大峡谷的另一侧看去。

Why do you like it, Tony?Tony: Well, I visited the Giant's Causeway two years ago. It's huge. There're about 40,000 rocks, most of them with six sides. It goes for several hundred metres on the eastern coast of NorthernIrelandLingling: That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic. They're about l,700 metres wide and 100 metres high. You can hear the loud noise a few kilometres away. Betty: Wow, that's huge! But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones.Look at the Terracotta Army. It's more than 2.000 years old.Daming: I agree with you, Betty.

Module 2 Unit 1 Great BooksMr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What's up? What are you doing in the library?Betty: I was looking for some old copies of the school magazine. If I've got it right, it was called New Standard.As far as I remember, it was started by Becky Wang. We don't have a school magazine any more. It's a pity.Betty: Well, I'm thinking about starting it again.Mr Jackson: Sounds like a good idea! Go on.Betty: I was also looking for something by Confucius and by Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: Really? That's a bit difficult for the school magazine.Betty: Well, I'd like a monthly article called "Great Books"—you know, someone reads a favourite work of literature and writes an article about it.Mr Jackson: I see. Confucius' works are still read by many people today, and we're still influenced by his thoughts. And Shakespeare's plays are seen by millions of people every year.But how about an American writer, Mark Twain, for example?Betty: I don't know. Mark Twain was an important writer, but he isn't known as a great thinker like Confucius.Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular. In fact, he wrote my favourite book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Perhaps that's what makes "Great Books"—they're still read today. Betty: So why don't you write the first article on "Great Books"?Answer the questions.1. Who do you think Mr. Jackson is?2. What was Betty looking for in the library? Why?3. What does Betty think of Mark Twain’s books?4. What is Mr. Jackson’s opinion of what a great book is?Unit1 Confucius’ works are read by many peo ple.杰克逊先生：你好，贝蒂，什么事？你在图书馆里做什么？贝蒂：我在找一些学校杂志的旧册子。

Module 1When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.After about a kilometer, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rock, and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.I looked down to the Colorado River about 2,000 metres below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It’s 20 kilometres, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance...over 400 kilometres long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It’s huge!That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question. It’s not “how deep is it? ” or “how wide is it? ”or “how long is it? ” but “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world? ” I know the answer. But what do you think?自然界最伟大的奇观我到达的时候是一大早，天正在下雨。

Module 1When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path.

I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.After about a kilometer, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked.

It’s huge!That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question. It’s not “how deep is it? ” or “how wide is it? ”or “how long is it? ” but “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world? ” I know the answer. But what do you think?Module 2My favourite great book is the adventures of tom sawyer by mark twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg, Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of gold.My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly heappears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom’s best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The themes of the story are to do with children growing up and becoming more serious. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.Why do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s stil l read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on---read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.Module 3For liu Xiang, life as a sporting hero has just begun. First of all, he’ll be invited to competitions around theworld. He’ll be chosen to represent China at the Olympic Games. He’s a symbol of China’s international sporting success.And now that he’s well known all over the world, liu Xiang will also be asked to appear in advertisements and films, and even to record music. But his coach Sun Haiping is making sure that he trains regularly. Liu Xiang will be advised by his coach how to be a great sportsman, and by his manager how to be a star.Liu Xiang is not an overnight success. He was born in Shanghai on July 13, 1983 and like many Olympic sports stars, he stared training when he was very young. In Grade Four, he went to the Junior Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train as a high jumper. Then, in 1998,his skill at hurdling was noticed by his coach Sun Haiping.Liu Xiang was helped by a special programme. It was set up in 2021 to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu’s races were recorded, and his performance was compared with the world’s best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change Liu’s training programme. In 2021 he won his first international 110m hurdles event inSwitzerland, and in the same year, a gold medal at the Asia Games in Korea. In 2021, Liu won the first Olympic gold medal in the same event for China in Athens, Greece.So what’s next for Liu Xiang? Has he found out that there’s more to life than training? Will he be encouraged to spend more time away form sport?No, Liu Xiang will go for more medals for China because he was trained for gold!Module 4Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made of silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, of wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren’t manybooks, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. The first printed books were made by putting ink against a wooden block and holding the paper against it. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly, in a way that can be compared with the introduction of the Internet in the 20th century.But will books be needed in the future? Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players. These machines are smaller and lighter than books so that they can be carried very easily.Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replac ed by computers one day? No, I don’t think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!Module 5The most unusual museum in London is the ScienceMuseum. In most museums, there’s no shouting and no running, and you aren’t allowed to touch the exhibits. But the Science Museum is different...because it’s noisy! People talk about what the can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it’s a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. You can also learn how to make explosions. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button. If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry.You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like--- it’s open every day, from 10am to 6pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favourite museum in the whole world.Module 6Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school?Do you buy new clothes just because they are the latest fashions?Do you open a window instead of turning on air conditioning?Do you buy things produced locally instead of made abroad?Do you take you own clot bag when shopping instead of using plastic bags?Do you sort the waste before throwing it away?We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment.Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.ReduceReduce means “use less”. Don’t was te things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary---- or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad. It may cost a lot of money to bring them to us.ReuseReuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunchbox because you can use them again.RecycleRecycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling progremmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.Questions:p45Module 7I’m writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia.At the moment we’re staying near Uluru--- that’s the Aboriginal name for Ayer Rock. On the first day, we took a helicopter tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: kilometres long and 348 metres high. The colours of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times, and the ancient Aboriginal storied describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a centre of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives and they’re like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but the games that they love the most are football, cricket and rugby. Because most Australians live near the coast, they love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it’s December, it’s summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.Most Australians speak English, although they have some special expressions such as “good day! ” And “ no worries, mate.” They mean “hello!” and “don’t worry about it. it’s not a problem!”The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper, and I got very tired. Everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down...Finally, later this evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It’s been a fantastic trip!Module 8We were very pleased with the photo competition. Compared with other years, we received many more photos. Even though all of the photo s are excellent, we can’t give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.The person who won the prize for the “Most Beautiful Nature” photography is fifteen-year-old Li Wei. Li took photos of the mountains in Xiangshang Park. The park isn’t far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it very well.The photo which we liked best in the “Historic China” group was taken by Zhao Min. Zhao is only 12 years old. Her photo is of Tian’anmen Square, the largest p ublic square in the world. It’s 880 metres from north to south and 500 metres wide at the northern end. Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.The best photo in the “Music” category was taken by He Zhong. His photo of his this year’s best band CrazyFeet shows the singer, Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great new band, and the fun which their fans are having.A collection of photos called the “M any Faces of Our City” which features Beijing won the prize for the “Most Unusual” category. Three pupils at the same school worked on this entry. It includes photos of different parts of the city, old and new. It successfully shows the rich culture which makes Beijing so famous.Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition. We are very luck that the famous photographer John William is in China to talk about his new book. Ha has agreed to present the prizes at the prize giving ceremony at the end of this month.Module 9 cartoon heroesNemo, a cute orange-and white fish, and Sherk, a huge green monster have won the hearts of young people in China and all over the world. The heroes of popular cartoons are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and computer screens.But there are some cartoon favourites which are older. The cartoon of the Monkey King has just had its 40th birthday. Called Havoc in Heaven, it tells the story of a monkey who leads a group of monkeys against the rule of the Emperor in heaven. But it is above all the jokes played by the monkey that people remember. “Havoc in Heaven” has become a common expression used by a parent or a boss when they return to the house or office and see a mess.Another favourite who has celebrated an important birthday in China is a reporter with red hair and a small white dog. Tintin has been popular for 75 years, ever since Belgian cartoonist Herge invented the character in 1929. His books have been translated into more than 50 languages, and about 200 million copies have been sold. In December 1984 the whole series of Tintin began to be published in china. Many Chinese still keep collections of these black-and-white Tintin books. There are several fan clubs in China which have held birthday parties for Tintin in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Wuhan.Finally, Snoopy, Charlie Brown’s lovable dog who lives in his own private dream world, also had his 50th birthdaycelebrated by China’s Snoopy fans in 2000.I didn’t draw the cartoons only for children. Adults who have experienced life understand them better, said the late Charles Schultz, creator of Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons.Module 10Jamie Oliver is a young cook who wants to improve school dinners. In 2021 he went back to see what the children were eating.Jamie asked the children what their meals were like. “we have hamburgers and chips, or pizza,” they told him, “and sometimes there is fruit, but we prefer ice cream.” Jamie thought the menu was terrible. The children were eating junk food, and it was a problem. Junk food isn’t just bad for the body. Children whose midday meals were unhealthy were difficult to teach in the afternoon. Teachers said that children behaved very badly after lunch.When Jamie took vegetables into class, the children didn’t know what they were. Jamie realized that the children didn’t know about healthy food. Then he talkedto the people who worked in the kitchens. He found out that they didn’t know enough about food and health, an d they didn’t have very much money to spend.He decided to teach the cooks and the children about healthy food. It was hard work! He cooked healthy meals for them including meat, rice, pasta and vegetables, but a lot of the teenagers refused to eat the new food. Jamie showed them why the junk food wasn’t healthy. In the end, when Jamie persuaded them to try his cooking, they liked it!Jamie talked to the government. He told them they needed to ban junk food form schools, train the cooks, educate the children and spend more money on school dinners. A lot of parents, teachers and children agreed with him, and a TV programme showed his visits to the school. Jamie is a cook whose ideas are changing school dinners all over Britain.Module 11 Visions of the cityJo is 15 and lives in Parkville. When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville 50 years ago, it was a quiet countryvillage in the centre of the country. At that time, they had a small house on the edge of town, with some fields and the hills in the distance.But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick, with about 200,000 people. People from the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life. And of course they needed somewhere to live. However, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge of the city. And soon Parkville became a suburb of Arnwick. It now has over a million people. Jo’s family live in one of those new flats –there’s no r oom for small houses any more.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago. Jo goes to a school close to the centre of Arnwick, with 2000 pupils. No one knows all their names.Jo takes an hour to get to school, and adds to the traffic and pollution. But it’s not her fault. She liked her old school.Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, better public transport and fewer private cars. There need to be shops and offices. It also needs clean water and norubbish in the streets. I t’s difficult to run a big city, and to protect people from crime. So it also needs more laws and more taxes to pay for everything.Well, what do you think of all this? Do you like the things which are happening in Parkville? In fact, “visions of the city”is just a story. But does your town have the same problems as Arnwick?Module 12We provide summer English courses which are the best you can find.

Module 2 Unit 1 Great BooksMr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What's up? What are you doing in the library?Betty: I was looking for some old copies of the school magazine. If I've got it right, it was called New Standard.As far as I remember, it was started by Becky Wang. We don't have a school magazine any more. It's a pity.Betty: Well, I'm thinking about starting it again.Mr Jackson: Sounds like a good idea! Go on.Betty: I was also looking for something by Confucius and by Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: Really? That's a bit difficult for the school magazine.Betty: Well, I'd like a monthly article called "Great Books"—you know, someone reads a favourite work of literature and writes an article about it.Mr Jackson: I see. Confucius' works are still read by many people today, and we're still influenced by his thoughts. And Shakespeare's plays are seen by millions of people every year.But how about an American writer, Mark Twain, for example?Betty: I don't know. Mark Twain was an important writer, but he isn't known as a great thinker like Confucius.Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular. In fact, he wrote my favourite book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Perhaps that's what makes "Great Books"—they're still read today. Betty: So why don't you write the first article on "Great Books"?Answer the questions.1. Who do you think Mr. Jackson is?2. What was Betty looking for in the library? Why?3. What does Betty think of Mark Twain’s books?4. What is Mr. Jackson’s opinion of what a great book is?Unit1 Confucius’ works are read by many peo ple.杰克逊先生：你好，贝蒂，什么事？你在图书馆里做什么？贝蒂：我在找一些学校杂志的旧册子。

Module 2 Great books
Unit1 Confucius’ works are read by many people.
杰克逊先生：你好，贝蒂，什么事？你在图书馆里做什么？
贝蒂：我在找一些学校杂志的旧册子。
如果我没记错的话，经叫《新
标准》。
杰克逊先生：对。
凭我记忆，这本杂志是由贝基王创办的。
我们不再
有学校杂志了。
这很遗憾。
贝蒂：噢，我在考虑再创办校园杂志。
杰克逊先生：听起来像个好主意，继续吧。
贝蒂：我也在找一些孔子和莎士比亚写的东西。
杰克逊先生：真的吗？对于校园杂志来说它有点难。
贝蒂：噢，我想每月登一篇叫“名著欣赏”的文章。
你知道，有的人
读最喜欢的文学作品并且写关于它的文章。
杰克逊先生：我明白了。
今天，仍然有很多人在读孔子的论著，我们
也仍然受他的思想的影响。
每年，数百万人看莎士比亚的戏剧。
但是，美国作家呢？例如，马克吐温？
贝蒂：我不知道，马克吐温一位重要的作家，但他并不像孔子那样作
为伟大的思想家而闻名于世。
杰克逊先生：不，但他的书仍然很受欢迎，其实，他写了我最喜欢的
书《汤姆索亚历险记》。
也许，这正是能入选“名著欣赏“的关键——它们至今仍被广泛阅读。
贝蒂：那么你为什么不写关于“名著欣赏“的第一篇文章呢？
Unit 2 It’s still read and loved.
名著：《汤姆索亚历险记》
我们每月关于最喜欢的名著的文章。
这个月，我们邀请的作家是杰克
逊先生。
我最喜欢的名著是马克吐温写的《汤姆索亚历险记》。
汤姆和他的波
莉阿姨住在密苏里州圣彼得斯堡的僻静的街上。
他是一个活泼聪明的
小男孩，他发现自己陷入了很多令人兴奋的冒险之中。
他和他的两个
朋友哈克费恩和乔逃跑到密西西比河中部的一个岛上呆发很多天。
他
和哈克去寻宝，和贝基在山洞之中迷路，最后，他们找到了个盒金子。
书中我最喜欢的情景是当每个人都认为汤姆死了，他决定去参加他自
己的葬礼。
他藏起来看了一会儿，然后突然出现，每个人看到他都很
惊讶，但是他们看到他还活着也很高兴。
汤姆是故事里的主人，但是也有其他重要的角色，哈克是一个局外人，但是每个人都怕他。
贝基长着金发，非常可爱。
乔是汤姆的朋友，印
第安乔是故事里的坏人。
故事的主题和孩子们的成长以及变得更加成熟稳重相关。
它描述了在
美国的小城镇陌生人是怎样被看见。
最后，它谈论自由，社会规章制
度和人们是怎样因为做坏事而被惩罚。
为什么我认为《汤姆索亚历险记》是名著？马克吐温是在1876年写的
这个故事，但它今天仍被全世界的人们阅读和喜爱。
虽然它仅仅是个
故事，但是马克吐温用19世纪美国南部各州的日常英语写成，所以它
听起来非常真实。
今天它被认为是美国文学中最伟大的著作之一。
去
读它吧，我知道你会喜欢它的。
