""Where is that?" asked Lin."Hangzhou."Lin thought Hangzhou was far away."It's seven hours away from here," the man with glasses said.

And neither school has anything the other hasn't got. But ...Betty: But what ...?Tony: ... but I prefer our school!Lingling: Well, anyway, we're all going to get top grades for English!Unit Two What’s the best thing about school?My School LifeMy name is Sally Maxwell, and I'm 15. I've been at Park School, London since I was 11. If I pass my exams next year, I'll stay here until I'm 18.Park School is a secondary school, about 20 minutes by bike away from home. Before I came here, I went to primary school, near my home. I started primary school when I was five and stayed there for six years.The schoolday is from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. We spend the first 10 minutes in our classroom while our teacher checks which pupils are present or absent. Then everyone goes to the main hall. There our head teacher makes a speech and tells us any news about the school. Lessons begin at 9:05 and last for an hour. We have a break at 11:05 until 11:20, then another lesson, then lunch for an hour. We have two more lessons before school finishes.This year I have 11 subjects: maths, biology, chemistry, French, history, geography, music and IT, PHSE, ADT and PE (these stand for Information Technology; Personal Health and Safety Education; Art, Design and Technology and Physical Education). Fortunately, we don't have exams in every subject. PHSE is about the dangers of drugs and smoking, among other things. In ADT we also do things like learning to cook as well as drawing and design. Some people can do Italian and Spanish instead of French, but no one is learning Chinese ... yet! PE involves physical exercise, basketball, training in the gym and swimming—we're really lucky to have a swimming pool.I took exams when I was 7, 10, and 14 years old. Next year I take my exams in eight subjects, and then I can do between three and five subjects for the exams in my final year.both during and after school hours. After-school activities, such as sports clubs and language societies are popular, too. During the school year there are usually visits to museums and galleries, and to camps for activities, such asday, and the school play is a really important event. Once a term, there is aWhat's the best thing about school? English, history, music ... and my friends. What's the worst thing? Homework ... and exams!Module 3 Unit One People are healthier today.Betty's mum: It's getting late, Betty.Betty: Nearly finished! I'm doing a composition: Is life today better or worse than it was 50 years ago?Betty's mum: And what do you think?Betty: I think it's better. The most important difference is that people are healthier today, and they live longer than they did in the past.Betty's mum: That's true. The advantage is that we know more about medicine today. We're better at preventing illness. But people don't eat as well as in the past, and don't take as much exercise as they did.Betty: I suppose that's because public transport is much better today.Betty's mum: Yes, I agree. People walk or use their bikes less, and they're lazier. Faster transport also makes more pollution. And that makes life more dangerous and less healthy.Betty: What about work? People don't have to work as hard as they worked 50 years ago.Betty's mum: Yes, but no one ever says they too much free time! I also think schoolchildren today work harder than we ever did.Betty: Yes, but I really want to do my best.Betty's mum: Why don't you ask Mrs Li downstairs? She's seen how life has changed.Betty: That's a good idea. Talking of free time, don't forget I'm going on the school trip next month, and the theatre visit.Betty's mum: Good! You'll be more relaxed and less nervous before your exams. Unit Two We weren’t very rich, but we were happy.Life in the PastMrs Li is over 70 years old, and has lived in Beijing all her life. I asked her about life today and in the past.Tell me about your parents, brothers and sisters.My parents, my sister and three brothers lived in a small house beside a restaurant. We weren't very rich, but we were happy. My sister was the eldest child and she left school when she was only 12 to help my mother at home. Families have changed a lot since I was young. They were much bigger in those days. Most of my friends had lots of brothers and sisters. Today most people only have one child!Did your parents have jobs?My father went out to work. He was a factory worker, and he often worked 12 hours a day. My mum wanted to work. She was a teacher before she met myToday it'sMy father the same job the whole of his working life. These days people change their jobs much more often.What was life like at home?Well, I remember the family meals, three times a day. My mother was always cooking for us. We weren't rich but we ate enough. And the food was alwaysfreshly cookedtoday, so it was much better for us. And of course we didn't have television, so we played games together and read a lot. I helped my younger brother with his homework in the evenings.Where did you meet your husband?I first met him 60 years ago. I was carrying some heavy bags on my bike and I fell off! He stopped and picked up my bags. My parents liked him, and thought he came from a good family so we got married a year later. I was only 19.These days most couples meet at work, and they just hope their parents will be happy for them if they marry.Has Beijing changed?Yes, there are lots more buildings and so much more traffic! I can't believe the number of cars on the streets. But I suppose it's the same everywhere. And I walk less these days and take the bus more.And do you think life is better today?Well, I think so. I'm healthier than I've ever been. We live longer and we eat better. One day I'll be talking to your own grandchildren!Module 4 Unit One I really like these shoes.Lingling: I'm really looking forward to the Shakespeare play.Betty: Me too! And the school trip to the Great Wall.Lingling: Yes, but I need a thick jacket, and some warm gloves and socks. Betty: In May?Lingling: I get really cold.Betty: OK. Let's go shopping!Lingling: How about that new shopping centre in Wangfujing? You know, turn left and go along Wangfujing, and it's on the right.Betty: Sure. We'll go by bus, OK? And have you decided what to wear to the school leavers' party?Lingling: I've got a really nice long dress. What about you?Betty: I'll probably wear a dress, too, but I need some shoes. OK, I'll meet you in front of school at two o'clock this afternoon.(Later.)Betty: How about this jacket?Lingling: It's the right size but it's a bit bright.Betty: Let's see if they have one in blue. Where's the shop assistant?Lingling: It's that girl with long hair over there. Excuse me!Shop assistant: Can I help you?Betty: Yes, do you have this jacket in blue?Shop assistant: No, I don't think so. But we've got some overcoats over here. Come this way.Betty: No, she doesn't want an overcoat.Lingling: Hey, I really like these shoes!Betty: Oh, take a look at that amazing skirt!Lingling: I think we're going to be here for some time.Unit Two What helps you choose the clothes you like?Looking Cool.What do you look for when you go shopping for clothes? Do you choose something fashionable ... or comfortable? Do you like to look different? Or do you wear the same clothes as your friends? Do you go for this year's colours? Is it the logo—the company symbol—that catches your attention? Or maybe film stars are wearing these clothes? What helps you choose the clothes you like?Everyone spends money on clothes, and everyone has their personal look.sell their "designer" clothes all over the world. But the number of these big name companies is in fact very small, and the clothes they make are more expensive than the clothes made by less well-known companies. Many people even prefer them to cheaper clothes. Why?.Many young people care about the way they look. They often buy "designer" clothes because they think they look cool. Then the less well-known companies make clothes which look the same. But they don't sell as well because they don't have the logo..People also think designer clothes are better made. For example, many people think the right running shoes will make you run faster or play better. Of course, this is not always true. It's the training—not the trainers—that improves your speed or your score. But that's not the point. People believe that it's true ... and then buy the shoes. The big companies only want to make a lot of money..Above all, designer clothes are more popular because of clever advertising. All of the international companies spend millions of dollars every year to make us buy their clothes. And they succeed!Most people dress in a way that shows off their personality. But if some of us buy expensive clothes just to look cool, what does that say about us? Maybe it's just clever advertising.So next weekend, think about the clothes you put on. What's the logo on your trainers? Who made your jeans? And how many of your friends wear theour money better.Unit Three Language in useSelling Without Advertisements1. Advertisements are everywhere! They're on the radio and TV, in newspapers and magazines, on buses and buildings. They're on websites and mobile phones. Companies give their products to film stars, pop stars and sports stars to wear or use so that fans will buy them in order to copy the stars.2. Advertisements have become so common that they aren't working any more. We don't like advertisements, so we try not to see them. We turn off the ads on our computers, we refuse to watch them on TV, or read them inmagazines. We no longer notice the posters all around us. We don't copy the stars because we know they don't really like the things they advertise.3. This means that advertising companies need a new way to sell. They can't make their products "cool" by advertising. Advertisements aren't cool, and teenagers won't buy the things in ads just because the ads say they are fashionable. The latest way to advertise is not to advertise.4. Instead of using stars, companies are using teenagers. They pay them to tell their friends about new products. Teenagers don't want to dress like everyone else and buy the things that everyone else has. They want to look different and create their own style. Teenagers don't think it's cool to copy the stars or buy things they've seen in ads.5. Getting people to talk about products is the best way to advertise. When teenagers talk about products, their friends become interested and want to buy them. When "cool" teenagers wear clothes, they make them fashionable, so their friends want to wear them, too.Thanks to improvements in both health care and personal safety, most people are living healthier, longer lives. Someone who is born today can expect to live 25 years longer than someone who was born in the 19th century. It’s even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthday. Here are six rules for a healthy life.1. Be careful! It’s dangerous out there!We all know that we shouldn’t run across the road in front of the oncoming traffic, or cycle too close to cars. But we’re not sure about how to stay safe in the countryside. When you’re out walking, you should always go with someone, and tell your parents where you’re planning to go. Remember! Climbing may also mean falling- what goes up must come down. Safety rules and advice are there to help you, not to make life less fun.2. Don’t be a couch potato!Sure, it’s comfortable to si t on the couch and watch. But experts say you should walk at least 10, 000 steps every day to keep fit. In the past, people’s jobs required more physical effort. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past?3. Watch your diet!It’s important to eat plenty of the right things, above all, fruit, vegetables, and to see fast food or sweets as something very special- maybe just now and then. The wrong diet means you’ll put on weight, one of the fastest ways to an unhealthy life.4. Rest up while you can!When we were babies, we slept for much of the day- if our parents were lucky! Teenagers don’t need as much sleep but it’s important to get about eight hours’ sleep. At weekends, you’ve got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest, too.5. Don’t worry. Be happy!Many doctors believe that happiness is important for our general health. If you’re worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher.6. Say no…to smoking and drugs!Yes, you knew I was going to say this! But it’s so important. More teenagers damage their health through smoking and taking drugs than any other dangers. Think about the effect on your family and friends, and think about its effect on you and your health.。
