Unit 1 A new startPassage 1My first day at senior highAfter I had pictured it over and over again in my mind, the big day finally arrived: my first day at senior high! I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to get to know my new school.The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “New here?” Turning around, I saw an older man. "Yes," I replied. “I’m wondering what life is going to be like here. " "Don't worry,” he gave me a smile. "You'll soon find out.”How true these words were! When my English teacher stepped into the classroom, I was surprised to see the same older man I had met earlier.“Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I'll go first…”“What?!" I tried to turn on my brain but the engine just wouldn't start. “I should say my name, of course. But what else? What could I say to make a good first impression? Something about my insect collection, perhaps. “I was organising my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge. “It' s your turn!”With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. “Hi, I’m Meng Hao.” Everyone started laughing.I looked at them in panic. Nice to know we share the same name,” said my new teacher. I had been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed, his words made me a lot more relaxed!When we had all introduced ourselves, Mr Meng said, “ Well done, everyone! I know this isn't easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face at senior high. Challenges like this might sometimes put you under pressure. But it all depends on what you do. Keep calm and be prepared. That way, you'll make the most of your time at senior high.”People say, "Well begun, half done.” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life.Passage 2High school hintsInterviewer: Hello and welcome to School Talk! Today I'm joined by Lisa Osborne. Lisa graduated from our school last June and is about to go to college. Lisa, thank you for coming to share your suggestions for high school with us.Lisa: Hi, everybody. I'm very glad to be back. I feel as if high school was only yesterday. Interviewer: So what helped when you first started high school?Lisa: Orientation Day was really helpful. It's a fantastic opportunity for new students to get to know the school and the other students. I even made some new friends! Just keep an open mind and take part in as much as possible.Interviewer: That's sound advice for sure. But how did you deal with new challenges, like starting a new course?Lisa: I had a chemistry test right at the end of the first week. I was frightened at the sight of the test paper. But then I figured I'd better just go all out and see what happens. If you fail, no problem --next time you can fail better!Interviewer: So, hold your head up, then. But life is not always easy. You must have had some moments when you were disappointed. If so, how did you deal with them?Lisa: As a member of the school volleyball team, I wasn’t selected for the end-of-year competition. At first I was really sad, but later I realised that I joined the team for the love of the sport. It wasn't just about winning. So I kept working hard to support my teammates during our training. There's always a way to be part of something you love, isn't there?Interviewer: Yes, I totally agree. Is there anything else in particular that you'd like to share with us? Lisa: Looking back at my high school life, the most important advice I'd give are these wonderful words from the writer Maya Angelou. She said, “Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.” So, give your friends a hand when they need it. And this will make you feel good, too.Interviewer: Awesome! Well, thanks again for coming to speak to us, Lisa. And good luck with college. Lisa: Thank you.Unit 2 Exploring EnglishPassage 1Neither Pine nor Apple in PineappleHave you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning English? I hadn't, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham in a hamburger. There isn't. This made me realise that there's no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.For example, in our free time we can sculpt a sculpture and paint a painting, but we take a photo. And when we are travelling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While we're doing all this travelling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in a car, but we don't get homesick when we get back home. And speaking of home, why aren't homework and housework the same thing?If “hard" is the opposite of “soft”, why are “hardly" and “softly" not an opposing pair? If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviours the same?When we look out of the window and see rain or snow, we can say "it's raining" or “It's snowing”. But when we see sunshine, we can't say “it's sunshining”.Even the smallest of words can be confusing. When you see the capitalized "WHO" in a medical report, do you read it as the "who" in “Who's that?" What about “IT" and “US”?You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes!English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race.That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And that is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends.Passage 2(Mis)adventures in EnglishLast week, our forum asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English. We didn't expect to get so many posts! Here are some of our favourites, to remind us that some of the English we learn in the classroom is rather different from the English in the outside world!AlbaPeople say that the British always play safe with what they eat. Not true! I went to a summer school in Manchester and my English teacher was called Maggie. One day, a different teacher took our class. He told us that Maggie couldn't teach that day because she had a frog in her throat. Poor Maggie-but why did she try to eat such a big frog?YancyWhen I first visited New York, I went to a shopping centre to buy some winter boots. At the information desk I asked a lady where the shoe section was. She said that it was on the first floor. So I went up to the first floor, but couldn't find any shoes. When I was about to leave, I saw that shoes were actually sold on the ground floor, not the first floor. How confusing!JulienI've got an English pen friend, who I finally got to meet in London this summer. He had told me that his grandfather was "really wicked". But when I met his grandfather, I liked him a lot. I was very confused. Why did my friend use a negative word about such a nice man?Zheng XuThe British must have really high standards. I was part of a student exchange between a university in England and my university in China. I spent days preparing and writing my first English paper. I knew I had done a good job and was looking forward to getting a good grade. When I got the paper back, I found my teacher had written the comment "Not bad!" Not bad? I was a bit disappointed.Unit 3 Family mattersPassage 1Like Father Like Son(The living room, Friday night. A table and two chairs at front centre. Grandfather and Father, seated at the table, are playing chess.)Grandfather: And... I win! (enter Son)Father: Not again! Oh look, here comes my boy. How are you, son?Son: (nervously approaching the table) Erm... Dad, can we talk?Father: Sure! You know you can always turn to your dad for a chat.Son: OK. Here it is. I've decided not to go to university. I want to focus my band and have a career in music when I leave school.Father: (raising his voice in surprise) You can't be serious! What about your future career as a lawyer?!Son: I knew you'd say that. You just assume I want to be a lawyer, but that's only because you are a lawyer.Father: What's wrong with being a lawyer? People respect lawyers and you can have a good income.Son: Yes, but I'm not interested in law, I want to work in a studio, not a court.Grandfather: (looking at Father) Calm down, OK?Father: (ignoring Grandfather's words) Stop daydreaming! Playing in a band is not a job.Son: Of course it is! The music industry is developing fast now. Making music is a job.Grandfather: (stepping between Father and Son and raising his voice) Hey! I told you to calm down, both of you!Father: But I told him to study something useful at university!Grandfather:(laughing) Easy, son! I remember when you were his age you said that you wanted to be a professional soccer player.Father: And you wanted to be an engineer.Grandfather: I just wanted you to be happy, and an engineer-a happy engineer.Father: But in the end, you just advised me to think carefully.Grandfather: Yes, and you found the career that suited your talents. I'm so proud of you. Your son is proud of you, too.Son: Of course I am, but I have different talents.Grandfather: (turning to Son)Why don’t you also take my advice and think carefully before jumping in with both feet?Son: Well, I could try…Grandfather: If you go to university and play music at the same time, you will have two options for you future. And I’m sure playing in a band will help you make lots of new friends at university.Father: Yes, lots of new lawyer friends!Son: (with a sigh) Dad… (curtain.)Passage 2Just a BrotherIt was the final part of the 2016 Triathlon World Series in Mexico. With just 700 metres to go, Alistair Brownlee was in third place and his younger brother, Jonny, was in the lead. Alistair pushed himself towards the finish line in the burning heat, but as he came round the corner, he saw his brother about to fall onto the track. Alistair had to choose--brotherly love, or a chance to win the race?For Alistair, the choice was clear. His brother was in trouble. He had to help. Alistair ran towards Jonny, caught him and started pulling him towards the finish line. Alistair then pushed his brother over the line. The move put Jonny in second place and Alistair himself in third. It was an unexpected end to the race, but Alistair did not want to discuss it with the media. He just wanted to see his younger brother who had been rushed to the medical area.The Brownlee brothers have been doing triathlons since they were children. "Obviously, when your older brother is doing it, you think it's a cool thing to do,” says Jonny. Alistair says that they encourage each other as much as they can when they train. Despite arguments over "stupid things” now and then, Alistair agrees that having a brother is an advantage. “Throughout my entire life, I've had my brother trying to beat me at everything I do. It has been an enormously positive force.”Watched by millions, the ending to the race has divided opinions: should the brothers have been disqualified or highly praised for their actions? But for Alistair, his decision was easy to explain: "Mum wouldn't have been happy if I'd left Jonny behind.” At that moment, he was no longer an athlete aiming for a medal—he was just a brother.Unit 4 Friends foreverPassage 1Click for a Friend?How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters? This was how things worked not so very long ago. Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed significantly.Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with the people that we want to remain friends with. Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships without missing a beat.The digital age also enables us to find people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or playing an unusual instrument. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.But when you "friend" people online, does this mean that they really are your friends?It depends.If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person.On social media sites, people tend to post only good things that make them appear happy and friendly. But smiling photos can hide real problems. Remember the saying: on the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.But this doesn't mean we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed the way we are connected, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.Passage 2After Twenty Years (excerpts)The short story "After Twenty Years" is set in New York on a cold, dark night. Most people have left work to go home, and this part of the city is now quiet. A police officer who is checking the area sees a man outside a shop. He goes up to the man and finds the man has a scar on his face. They have a chat. The man starts to tell his story.“Twenty years ago to-night,” said the man, "I dined here at 'Big Joe’ Brady's with Jimmy Wells, my best chum, and the finest chap in the world. He and I were raised here in New York, just like two brothers, together. I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty. The next morning I was to start for the West to make my fortune. You couldn't have dragged Jimmy out of New York; he thought it was the only place on earth. Well, we agreed that night that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come. We figured that in twenty years each of us ought to have our destiny worked out and our fortunes made, whatever they were going to be.”It sounds pretty interesting, "said the policeman." Rather a long time between meets, though, it seems to me. Haven't you heard from your friend since you left?”Well, yes, for a time we corresponded, said the other. "But after a year or two we lost track of each other. You see, the West is a pretty big proposition, and I kept hustling around over it pretty lively. But I know Jimmy will meet me here if he's alive, for he always was the truest, stanchest old chap in the world. He'll never forget. I came a thousand miles to stand in this door to-night, and it's worth it if my old partner turns up.”Unit 5 Into the wildPassage 1The Monarch’ s JourneyMany animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year. This movement is called migration. They migrate to find food, find a partner or search of warmer weather. Of all the mass migrations, that of the North American monarch butterflies is one of the most wonderful.Every autumn, millions of these beautiful insects with delicate black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4, 000 kilometers south and find their way to places where they will spend the winter. However, until recently no one knew how they do this.A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Schlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer. They have discovered that the monarch is able to tell the time of day. It then uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two pieces of information —the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky—allow the butterfly to determine which way it needs to go and change its direction when necessary. Eventually, it manages to reach California or Mexico.The solution to the mystery of the monarch's amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble. Its population has crashed by as much as ninety per cent in the last few years. Unfortunately, human activity is the main reason why the monarch numbers are falling. In many of the places where monarchs can be found, people are destroying the natural environment by cutting down trees and using chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.A better understanding of the monarch's behaviour has however led to a greater awareness and appreciation of this creature. Volunteers have been working together to record their migration and make sure that there are enough plants for them to feed on. If this work is successful, there may come a time when monarch numbers increase once again. The more we know about the delicate creatures, the greater the chance they will survive. By doing more research, the monarch butterfly can keep its place in the human imagination for a long time to come.Passage 2An Encounter with NatureAs a nature photographer, I have to brave the elements. But despite the wind and the rain, I still enjoy working outside in the wild. One of the best things about this job is that you can observe animals in their natural environment.My favorite place to take photos is Yellowstone National Park. As the world's first national park, Yellowstone is famous for the variety of its wildlife, but it is probably best known for its bears. These huge, strong animals can live for up to thirty years. Despite an average weight of over 180 kilograms, they can run at a speed of 72 kilometres per hour and are also excellent swimmers.Last spring in Yellowstone, I followed a path that took me through a dark forest. When I finally stepped out of the trees, the view was breathtaking. An eagle flew over the snowcapped mountains, which were reflected in the still lake below. While I was concentrating on photographing this amazing scene, I suddenly had a feeling that I was being watched. Slowly, and with the camera still held to my eye, I turned… and froze. Only metres away from me was a bear. With water falling off its thick, brown hair, the bear stared back at me. Time stood still as the bear and I both waited to see who would move first. My legs started shaking. Somehow, I forced my finger to press the button. A second later, the bear turned and ran back into the forest. When I recovered from the shock, I looked at my camera. My most frightening but magical experience was now captured forever in a single image.From time to time I look at the photo as a reminder to show respect to all animals. It is after all we who are the visitors to their world.Unit 6 At one with naturePassage 1Longji Rice TerracesImagine mountains wrapped in silver water, shining in the spring sun. Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice. During autumn, these same mountains are flash gold, and in winter they are covered in sheets of white frost. These are the colours of the Longji Rice Terraces.These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people, to whom Guangxi is home. Starting in the Yuan Dynasty, work on the terraces took hundreds of years, until its completion in the early Qing Dynasty. Reaching as far as the eye can see, these terraces cover tall mountains, often from the bottom to the very top.So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn entire mountains into terraces? Firstly, there are few large, flat areas of land in the region. Building the terraces therefore meant that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice. Secondly, although the region has plenty of rain, the mountains are steep and the earth is shallow. The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.But perhaps what is most significant is the way in which people have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces and grow rice. The terraces are cleverly designed, with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other. During the rainy season, it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces. The sun heats the water and turins it into gas. This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again. These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish, some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops.Although modern technology could help produce more crops, the rice growers are people for whom traditions hold much value. This knowledge is passed down through families, which means that new generations continue to use ancient methods of agriculture to maintain the terraces. Today, the Longji rice Terraces attract thousands of visitors who come to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together.Passage 2A Love of Gardening“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” These words come from the book The Secret Garden, first published in 1911. At that time, only the very rich in Britain had gardens. Very soon after this, homes started to be built with gardens. Since then, the British love of gardening began! Today, millions of Brits like to say that they have “green fingers", with around half the population spending most of their free time gardening.For many people in the UK, their garden is their own private world. Each spring, children plant sunflowers and wait to see which one is the tallest. Expert gardeners know just the right corner for roses, and others spend hours trying to grow perfect vegetables to enter into competitions. And while many Brits like nothing better than spending their Sunday cutting the grass, some are happy just to sit and enjoy the beauty of their small world.But in cities, limited space has led to people looking for new solutions. Those without outside space can rent small pieces of land on which to grow things. Today, there are over 4, 000 people in London waiting for such pieces of land. One recent idea has been to turn rooftops and walls into private gardens. These gardens have helped make the cities greener and improve air quality.As well as being good for the environment, gardening is also good for the soul. What other free-time activity allows you to be at one with nature and create more beautiful living things? And if you’re in any doubt about this, take a moment to reflect on this line from The Secret Garden: "Where you tend a rose... A thistle cannot grow.”。

Unit 1 Festivals around the worldFESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONSFestivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months. Today’s festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events. Festivals of the deadSome festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They also light lamps and play music because they think that will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico, people celebrate the Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast day, people eat food in the shape of skulls and cakes with “bones” on them. They offer food, flowers a nd gifts to the dead. The Western holiday Halloween also had its origin in old beliefs about the return of the spirits of dead people. It is now a children’s festival, when they can dress up and go to their neighbours’ homes to ask for sweets. If the neighbours do not give any sweets, the children might play a trick on them.Festivals to Honour PeopleFestivals can also be held to honour famous people. The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. In the USA, Columbus Day is in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. India has a national festival on October 2 to honour Mohandas Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s independence from Britain.Harvest FestivalsHarvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter and the agricultural work is over. In European countries, people will usually decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and will get together to have meals. Some people might win awards for their farm produce, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. China and Japan have mid-autumn festivals when people admire the moon and in China enjoy moon-cakes.Spring FestivalsThe most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat and may give children lucky money in red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the Lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. These carnivals might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of al kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival for Christians around the world. It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life. Japan’s Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country, covered with cherry tree flowers, looks as though it is covered with pink snow.People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each other. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customs and forget our work for a little while.A SAD LOVE STORYLI Fang was heart-broken. It was Valentine’s Day and Hu Jin had said she would meet him at the coffee shop after work. But she didn’t turn up. She could be with her friends right now laughing at him. She said she would be there at seven o’clock, and he thought she would keep her word. He had looked forward to meeting her all day, and now he was alone with his roses and chocolates, like a fool. Well, he was not going to hold his breath for her to apologize. He would drown his sadness in coffee.It was obvious that the manager of the coffee shop was waiting for Li Fang to leave - he wiped the tables, then sat down and turned on the TV - just what Li Fang needed! A sad Chinese story about lost love.The granddaughter of the Goddess of Heaven visited the earth. Her name was Zhinü, the weaving girl. While she was on earth she met the herd boy Niulang and they fell in love. (“Just like me and Hu Jin,” thought Li Fang.) They got married secretly, and they were very happy. (“We could be like that,” thought Li Fang.) When the Goddess of Heaven knew that her granddaughter was married to a human, she became very angry and made the weaving girl return to Heaven. Niu Lang tried to follow her, but the river of stars, the Milky Way, stopped him. Finding that Zhinü was heart-broken, her grandmother finally decided to let the couple cross the Milky Way to meet once a year. Magpies make a bridge of their wings so the couple can cross the river to meet on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. People in China hope that the weather will be fine on that day, because if it is raining, it means that Zhinü is weeping and the couple won’t be able to meet.The announcer said, “This is the story of Qiqiao Festival. When f oreigners hear about the story, they call it a Chinese Valentine’s story. It’s a fine day today, so I hope you can call all meet the one you love.”As Li Fang set off for home, he thought, “I guess Hu Jin doesn’t love me. I’ll just throw these flowers and chocolates away. I don’t want them to remind me of her.” So he did.As he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way home, he heard a voice calling him. There was Hu Jin waving at him and calling, “Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time! And I have a gift for you!”What would he do? He had thrown away her Valentine gifts! She would never forgive him. This would not be a happy Valentine’s Day! Unit 2 Healthy eating COME AND EAT HERE (I)Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated. It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs, roast pork, stir-fried vegetables and fried rice. Then by lunchtime they would all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could have happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit. “Nothing could be better,” he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. “Hello, Lao Li,” he called. “Your usual?” But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. He saw a sign at the door.Tired of all that fat? Want to lose weight?Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.Only slimming foods served here.Make yourself thin again!Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward. “Welcome,” she said. “My name is Yong Hui. I’ll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day.” Then sh e gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar, fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially at the prices. It cost more than a good meal in his restaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the menu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little. Even though her customers might get thin after eating Yong Hui’s food, they were not eating enough energy-giving food to keep them fit. They would become tired very quickly. Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove back home. Perhaps with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back. So he wrote:Want to feel fit and energetic?Come and eat here! Discounts today!Our food gives you energy all day!The competition between the two restaurants was on!COME AND EAT HERE (II)A week later, Wang Peng’s restaurant was nearly full and he felt happier. Perhaps he would be able to earn his living after all and not have to close his restaurant. He did not look forward to being in debt because his restaurant was no longer popular. He smiled as he welcomed some customers warmly at the door but the smile left his face when he saw Yong Hui walking in. She did not look happy but glared at him. “May I ask what you were doing in my restaurant the other day? I thought you were a new customer and now I know that you only came to spy on me and my menu,” she shouted. “Please excuse me,” he calmly explained, “I wanted to know where all my customers had gone last week. I followed one of them and found them in your restaurant. I don’t want to upset you, but I found your menu so limited that I stopped worrying and started advertising the benefits of my food. Why don’t you sit down and try a meal?”Yong Hui agreed to stay and soon they were both enjoying dumplings and breast of chicken cooked with garlic. When they were served the ice cream, Yong Hui began to look ill. “I feel sick with all this fat and heavy food,” she said, “I miss my vegetables and fruit.” Wang Peng was enjoying a second plate of dumplings so he sighed. “Yes,” he added, “and I would miss my dumplings and fatty pork. Don’t you get tired quickly?” “Well, I do have to rest a lot,” admitted Yong Hui. “But don’t you think it would be better if you were a bit thinner? I’m sure you’d feel much healthier.”They began to talk about menus and balanced diets. “According to my research, neither your restaurant nor mine offers a balanced diet,” explained Wang Peng. “I don’t offer enough fibre and you don’t offer enough body-building and energy-giving food. Perhaps we ought to combine our ideas and provide a balanced menu with food full of energy and fibre.” So that is what they did.They served raw vegetables with the hamburgers and boiled the potatoes rather than fried them. They served fresh fruit with the ice cream. In this way they cut down the fat and increased the fibre in the meal. Their balanced diets became such a success that before long Wang Peng became slimmer and Yong Hui put on more weight. After some time the two found that their business cooperation had turned into a personal one. Finally they got married and live happily ever after.Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank NoteTHE MILLION POUND BANK NOTEAct I, Scene 3NARRATOR: It is the summer of 1903. Two old and wealthy brothers, Roderick and Oliver, have made a bet. Oliver believes that with a million pound bank note a man could survive a month in London. His brother Roderick doubts it. At this moment, they see a penniless young man wandering on the pavement outside their house. It is Henry Adams, an American businessman, who is lost in London and does not know what he should do.RODERICK: Young man, would you step inside a moment, please?HENRY: Who? Me, sir?RODERICK: Yes, you.OLIVER: Through the front door on your left.HENRY: (a servant opens a door) Thanks.SERVANT: Good morning, sir. Would you please come in? Permit me to leadthe way, sir.OLIVER: (Henry enters) Thank you, James. That will be all.RODERICK: How do you do, Mr … er …?HENRY: Adams. Henry Adams.OLIVER: Come and sit down, Mr Adams.HENRY: Thank you.RODERICK: Your are an American? HENRY:That’s right, from San Francisco.RODERICK: How well do you know London?HENRY: Not at all. It’s my first trip here.RODERICK: I wonder, Mr Adams, if you mind us asking a few questions?HENRY: Not at all. Go right ahead.RODERICK: May we ask what you’re doing in this country and what your plansare?HENRY: Well, I can’t say that I have any plans. I’m hoping to find work. Asa matter of fact, I landed in Britain by accident.RODERICK: How is that possible?HENRY: Well, you see, back home I have my own boat. About a month ago, Iwas sailing out of the bay … (his eyes stare at what is left of the brothers’dinner on the table)OLIVER: Well, go on.HENRY: Oh, yes. Well, towards nightfall I found myself carried out to sea bya strong wind. It was all my fault. I didn’t know whether I couldsurvive until morning. The next morning I’d just about given myselfup for lost when I was spotted by a ship.OLIVER: And it was the ship that brought you to England.HENRY: Yes. The fact is that I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand, which accounts for my appearance. I went to the American embassy toseek help, but … (the brothers smile at each other)RODERICK: Well, you mustn’t worry about that. It’s an advantage.HENRY: I’m afraid I don’t quite follow you, sir.RODERICK: Tell us, Mr Adams, what sort of work did you do in America? HENRY: I worked for a mining company. Could you offer me some kind of work here?RODERICK: Patience, Mr Adams. If you don’t mind, may I ask how much money you have?HENRY: Well, to be honest, I have none.RODERICK: (happily) What luck! Brother, what luck! (claps his hands together) HENRY: Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me! On the contrary, in fact. If this is your idea of some kind of joke, I don’t think it’s very funny.(Henry stands up to leave) Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll be onmy way.RODERICK: Please don’t go Mr Adams. You mustn’t think we don’t care about you.Oliver, give him the letter.OLIVER: Yes, the letter. (gets it from a desk and gives it to Henry like a gift) The letter.HENRY: (taking it carefully) For me?RODERICK: For you. (Henry starts to open it) Oh, no, you mustn’t open it. Not yet. You can’t open it until two o’clock.HENRY: Oh, this is silly.RODERICK: Not silly. There’s money in it. (calls to the servant) James? HENRY: Oh, no. I don’t want your charity. I just want an honest job. RODERICK: We k now you’re hard-working. That’s why we have given you the letter. James, show Mr Adams out.OLIVER: Good luck, Mr Adams.HENRY: Well, why don’t you explain what this is all about?RODERICK: You’ll soon know. (looks at the clock) In exactly an hour and a half. SERVANT: This way, sir.RODERICK: Mr Adams, not until 2 o’clock. Promise?HENRY: Promise. goodbye.Unit 4 Astronomy: the science of the starsHOW LIFE BEGAN ON THE EARTHNo one knows exactly how the earth began, as it happened so long ago. However, according to a widely accepted theory, the universe began with a “Big Bang” that threw matter in all directions. After that, atoms began to form and combine to create stars and other bodies.For several billion years after the “Big Bang”, the earth was still just a cloud of dust. What it was to become was uncertain until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago when the dust settled into a solid globe. The earth became so violent that it was not clear whether the shape would last or not. It exploded loudly with fire and rock. They were in time to produce carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapour and other gases, which were to make the earth’s atmosphere. What is even more important is that as the earth cooled down, water began to appear on its surface.Water had also appeared on other planets like Mars but, unlike the earth, it had disappeared later. It was not immediately obvious that water was to be fundamental to the development of life. What many scientists believe is that the continued presence of water allowed the earth to dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas. This produced a chain reaction, which made it possible for life to develop.Many millions of years later, the first extremely small plants began to appear on the surface of the water. They multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen, which encouraged the later development of early shellfish and all sorts of fish. Next, green plants began to grow on land. They were followed in time by land animals. Some were insects. Others, called amphibians, were able to live on land as well as in the water. Later when the plants grew into forests, reptiles appeared for the first time. They produced young generally by laying eggs. After that, some huge animals, called dinosaurs, developed. They laid eggs too and existed on the earth for more than 140 million years. However, 65 million years ago the age of the dinosaurs ended. Why they suddenly disappeared still remains a mystery. This disappearance made possible the rise of mammals on the earth. These animals were different from all life forms in the past, because they gave birth to young baby animals and produced milk to feed them.Finally about 2.6 million years ago some small clever animals, now with hands and feet, appeared and spread all over the earth. Thus they have, in their turn, become the most important animals on the planet. But they are not looking after the earth very well. They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevents heat from escaping from the earth into space. As a result of this, many scientists believe the earth may become too hot to live on. So whether life will continue on the earth for millions of years to come will depend on whether this problem can be solved.A VISIT TO THE MOONLast month I was lucky enough to have a chance to make a trip into space with my friend Li Yanping, an astronomer. We visited the moon in our spaceship!Before we left, Li Yanping explained to me that the force of gravity would change three times on our journey and that the first change would be the most powerful. Then we were off. As the rocket rose into the air, we were pushed back into our seats because we were trying to escape the pull of the earth’s gravity. It was so hard that we could not say anything to each other. Gradually the weight lessened and I was able to talk to him. “Why is the spaceship not falling back to the earth? On the earth if I fall from a tree I will fall to the ground.” I asked. “We are too far from the earth now to feel its pull,” he explained, “so we feel as if no gravity at all. When we get closer tothe moon, we shall feel its gravity pulling us, but it will not be as strong a pull as the earth’s.” I cheered up immediately and floated weightlessly around in our spaceship cabin watching the earth become smaller and the moon larger.When we got there, I wanted to explore immediately. “Come on,” I said. “If you are rig ht, my weight will be less than on the earth because the moon is smaller and I will be able to move more freely. I might even grow taller if I stay here long enough. I shall certainly weigh less!” I laughed and climbed down the steps from the spaceship. But when I tried to step forward. I found I was carried twice as far as on the earth and fell over. “Oh dear,” I cried, “walking does need a bit of practice now that gravity has changed.” After a while I got the hang of it and we began to enjoy ourselves.Leaving the moon’s gravity was not as painful as leaving the earth’s. But returning to the earth was very frightening. We watched, amazed as fire broke out on the outside of the spaceship as the earth’s gravity increased. Again we were pushed hard into our seats as we came back to land. “That was very exhausting but very exciting too,” I said. “Now I know much more about gravity! Do you think we could visit some stars next time?” “Of course,” he smiled, “which star would you like to go to?”Unit 5 CANADA- “THE TRUE NORTH”A TRIP ON “THE TRUE NORTH”Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins in Montreal on the Atlantic coast. Rather than take the aeroplane all the way, they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train from west to east across Canada. The thought that they could cross the whole continent was exciting.Their friend, Danny Lin, was waiting at the airport. He was going to take them and their baggage to catch “The True North”, the cross-Canada train. On the way to the station, he chatted about their trip. “You’re going to see some great scenery. Going eastward, you’ll pass mountains and thousands of lakes and forests, as well as wide rivers and large cities. Some people have the idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days, but they forget the fact that Canada is 5,500 kilometres from coast to coast. Here in Vancouver, you’re in Canada’s warmest part. People say it is Canada’s most popular cities to live in. Its population is increasing rapid ly. The coast north of Vancouver has some of the oldest and most beautiful forests in the world. It is so wet there that the trees are extremely tall, some measuring over 90 metres.”That afternoon aboard the train, the cousins settled down in their seats. Earlier that day, when they crossed the Rocky Mountains, they managed to catch sight of some mountain goats and even a grizzly bear and an eagle. Their next stop was Calgary, which is famous for the Calgary Stampede. Cowboys from all over the world come to compete in the Stampede. Many of them have a gift for riding wild horses and can win thousands of dollars in prizes.After two days’ travel, the girls began to realize that Canada is quite empty. At school, they had learned that most Canadians live within a few hundred kilometres of the USA border, and Canada’s population is only slightly over thirty million, but now they were amazed to see such an empty country. They went through a wheat-growing province and saw farms that coveredthousands of acres. After dinner, they were back in an urban area, the busy port city of Thunder Bay at the top of the Great Lakes. The girls were surprised at the fact that ocean ships can sail up the Great Lakes. Because of the Great Lakes, they learned, Canada has more fresh water than any other country in the world. In fact, it has one-third of the world’s total fresh water, and much of it is in the Great Lakes.That night as they slept, the train rushed across the top of Lake Superior, through the great forests and southward towards Toronto.。

牛津新教材选修三Unit 2ReadingThought experiments:the laboratory of the mindWhat would we observe if we travelled at the speed of light? This is a question Albert Einstein asked himself at the age of16. Imagining himself pursuing a beam of light,he reasoned that he should observe such a beam of light as an electromagnetic field at rest. This intuitive thinking later played an important role in the development of his special theory of relativity, as Einstein acknowledged in his 1949 Autobiographical Notes. It came to be known as one of Einstein's most famous thought experiments.So,what are thought experiments? Put simply, they are experiments carried out in the laboratory of the mind; in other words, they take place in the imagination. We set up some hypothetical situation, carry out an operation,see what happens,and draw a conclusion from our analysis. As we explore the world in greater depth, we may reach a point where it is impossible to run an experimental scenario in the real world due to physical, ethical or financial limitations. In the circumstances, we move into the area of thought experiments, which function as a valuable means to test the limits of our knowledge and advance our understanding of the world.While the term "thought experiment" originated in the 19th century, the use of thought experiments can be traced much further back, when ancient philosophers used them to explore difficult questions. About 2,500 years ago, Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi recorded one of the earliest thought experiments: if you cut along stick in half and then cut the remaining part in two each following day,you will never finish cutting it. With the birth of modern science, thought experiments became an important tool for scientists,especially in physics. Today thought experiments are regularly used in the areas of philosophy, economics and the sciences.Throughout history, thought experiments have contributed to the development of scientific theories.With logical reasoning, thought experiments are capable of putting forward a new theory and supporting or disproving an existing theory. A classic example of this is Galileo Galilei's thought experiment with two falling balls.In Galileo's day, Aristotle's belief that a heavier ball should fall faster than a lighter one was well accepted. Doubtful, Galileo asked what would happen if the two balls were tied together. He then figured out two contradictory outcomes: because the two balls fell at different speeds,the lighter ball would slow down the fall of the heavier one;but if the two balls were considered as a whole, together they weighed more and should fall faster than each individual ball. Using the power of the mind,Galileo was able to expose the paradox and prove Aristotle wrong.However, thought experiments are not always about proving something right or wrong with a definite answer. Instead, by making abstract, complex ideas more concrete and accessible, thought experiments can stimulate debate and lead to a more thorough understanding of the topic in question. A famous example is the Ship of Theseus, which was first written down by the ancient Greek philosopher and biographer Plutarch in the 1st century. He mentioned that for many centuries, the people of Athens kept the old ship of the ancient Greek hero Theseus. Over the years, all the original wooden parts of the ship damaged and replaced by the local people. Plutarch questioned whether this ship was still Theseus’s old ship, or whether it was an entirely new one. Many centuries later, the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes took the thought experiment one step further: what if someone collected all the original parts and rebuilt another ship? Which of the ships would then be the ship of Theseus? Even today, the ship of Theseus still sparks intense debate and continues to raise many questions about the nature of identity.With hypothetical situations, thought experiments allow us to explore the outcome of a given hypothesis which has real-life significance. They also help us stretch our minds by confronting and considering difficult questions. Why not ask our own "What if…" questions? By adopting new and innovative ways of thinking, we may arrive at surprising conclusions.Extended readingHow the world got eyeglassesWhat are the greatest breakthroughs humans have made since the invention of the wheel? When a magazine posed this question to a panel of experts, including scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers and historians, eyeglasses came in behind only modern electronics, penicillin, electricity and the printing press.If you disagree with this ranking,try this quick experiment: rub some soap on a piece of glass and hold it in front of your eyes. Or, if you wear glasses or contact lenses, remove them and try to keep reading. Oh, wait—you can't, because you can't see clearly enough. As anyone who needs corrective lenses will tell you, being able to see clearly is hugely important, whether you're trying to put together a set of building blocks or read your favourite book.Considering that many people in the world suffer from poor vision, you may think that the great minds of history would have quickly come together to tackle the problem. However, this isn't at all what happened. Long before anything like spectacles existed, people had noticed that a piece of curved glass could magnify animage.Consequently, about 2,000 years ago, people began making magnifying glasses this way. These were probably the first simple corrective lenses.No one knows who came up with the technology of shaping glass to bring images into better focus, or mounting lenses in frames that could go in front of your face. Most likely, many anonymous glassmakers tried to improve the technology by trial and error. Although we don't know exactly whom to thank,it is pretty much agreed that corrective lenses first appeared in Italy in the 1280s.Once the technology was available, spectacles caught on quickly. Just like so many popular accessories today,spectacles soon became fashionable. People thought glasses made them look more intelligent or sophisticated. They were given away as gifts and were popular among people who didn't even need them. In the 15th century, the printing press was invented, making books plentiful and relatively inexpensive. This drove the demand for reading glasses. There was, however, a practical problem to overcome. While the quality of the lenses was improving rapidly, getting them to stay comfortably on the face was a great challenge. Indeed, reading while eating often meant spectacles in the soup!People made many attempts to overcome this problem, some stranger than others. Spectacles were held on the face by tying threads to the frames and looping them over the ears. Weights were sometimes tied to the ends of the threads to counterbalance the weight of the glasses to keep them from slipping off. Some people used threads or wires to hook their glasses to their hats so that they dangled just in front of the eyes. Others attached them to straps tied around the forehead or threaded them into their hair.Still other designs simply perched uneasily on the bridge of the nose. Later models worked a bit better by having the frames slightly pinch the nose. These stayed on the face longer, but they must have been quite uncomfortable.It's hard to imagine why it took so long to design spectacles with arm pieces that could clip behind the ears, but these weren't invented until the 18th century. Even then, the side stems were short and designed to clamp tightly against the temples(Ouch!). Like inventing the lenses themselves, coming up with designs that were easy to use was mostly a matter of trial and error. These days, technology has made spectacles comfortable.Unfortunately, now that we've tackled the technological problem of helping people see clearly, we face an ethical dilemma posed by the development of smart glasses, which are wearable computers in essence. Looking like a pair of ordinary glasses, smart glasses make it possible for the wearer to use the Web and make videos of everything they see. However, opponents of smart glasses believe that a device that allows its wearer to record people without their knowledge, almost anywhere and anytime,is disturbing. Even though we have become used to the marvels of modern technology, we still need to pause and think about the potential negative impact of thisnew invention.We'll have to wait and see if smart glasses would follow the same path as regular glasses, or in other words, if their usefulness would outweigh potential problems. Meanwhile, those of us who need corrective lenses to read about the controversy should be grateful to that anonymous Italian glassmaker who first invented ordinary old spectacles.。

可编辑修改精选全文完整版2020牛津译林版新教材选择性必修一课文原文B1U1 Food mattersReadingWhenever I feel lonely, I have a secret recipe that never fails: rice, milk and sugar, cooked low and slow. No matter how bad my mood is, that perfect combination is always enough to lift my spirits. Sometimes the smell alone can do the trick, not to mention the lovely creamy flavour, which works like a time machine immediately transporting me back to my sunny childhood. With pleasure, I remember the lazy Sunday afternoons I used to spend in the warmth of my grandma's flat, listening to her wonderful stories and greedily eating bowl after bowl of her delicious rice pudding. I take my time over every spoonful, gently rolling the silky dessert around my mouth and enjoying the perfect marriage of rice and milk. Before I know it, I'm happy again.My experience with rice pudding illustrates the unique power of "comfort food". In its broadest sense, comfort food refers to any food that makes us feel better. In this article, we will talk about a particular type of comfort food whose power mainly lies in the associations it calls to mind. It often makes up for bad feelings by helping us recall happy memories of the people, things or places we love.Our comfort foods are highly individual. They vary from person to person, depending on our own unique experiences that have shaped our lives. If we grow up eating certain foods in our family, then those foods tend to be linked with positive emotions. For example, we often connect chicken soup with a happy childhood and its flavour becomes tied up with the feeling of being taken care of. When we eat it again, we unlock memories of a time when we were loved and looked after, and this cheers us up.The feeling of happiness and sense of belonging can become particularly important for people who move away from their home country. According to some food experts, there are some aspects of culture that people will lose right away, but with food, there are more opportunities to connect to memory, family and place. It is hardest to give up the food that you grow up with. Of course, each person's comfort food largely depends on where they come from 一for a Chinese it might be a plate of dumplings with a saucer of vinegar, and for a native of the UK it might be the classic fish and chips, served hot, salty and sour. One mouthful of comfort food takes us back to our cultural roots, giving us the "taste of home" that we cry out for and relieving feelings of homesickness.That's certainly true for me. Comfort food tastes good and by building an emotional bond with our happy memories, always makes us feel good. It isn't just a bowl of noodles or chicken soup. It's food for the soul.Extended reading7 March, Sichuan hot potThe mouth-watering hot pots of Sichuan are as famous overseas as they are in China, and the hot flavour is enough to heat up a cold midwinter evening or to let loose rivers of sweat on a summer afternoon. I gave it my first try last night, together with a few local friends. As the soup bubbled slowly over a gas burner in the middle of the table, its surface was covered with a beautiful layer of chillies, Sichuan peppers, spring onions and red oil. Slowly at first, and then faster and faster, we tipped plates of fresh meat, fish and vegetables into the pot. The hot flavour quickened our laughter and conversation, making the meal the perfect way to relax with friends.Sichuan hot pots are perfect for the damp, foggy climate in which they were invented. They are believed to have started off in the late Qing Dynasty as a way for boatmen on the Yangtze River to keep warm during the cold and wet winters. In the beginning, the delicious dish was made simply by boiling vegetables, chillies and Sichuan peppers in water. Over time, it has expanded to include multiple options of soups, vegetables, meats and sauces, appealing to people of different tastes. What I love best about Sichuan hot pots is that they offer a great opportunity to socialize with friends since a meal can last for hours. I instantly became a big fan of Sichuan hot pots and I’ll soon be back for more!12 August, Nanjing salted duckSalted duck is Nanjing's most famous food export. Served plain in thin, white slices, the meat is juicy and salty. Each Nanjing salted duck takes several days to prepare, and the process includes salting, drying, boiling and cooling. As I finished my first helping on a recent afternoon in Nanjing, my host, Chef Zhang, told me a little more about the dish.The countryside around Nanjing has been famous for its ducks for centuries; its countless waterways make the area perfect for raising waterbirds. A local history book from the late Qing Dynasty praised salted duck in particular, saying it was without equal. Traditionally, duck is considered to have cooling properties, so it is appropriate for the hot summer months. Nowadays, people eat salted duck all year round and it is estimated that tens of thousands of ducks are consumed every day in Nanjing! It definitely hit the spot when I tried it, and it has become one of my personal favourites.8 December, Cantonese dim sumIn Guangzhou, morning tea is such an essential part of the daily routine that "Have you had your tea?”has become the local version of "Good morning." Though teahouses have been common in China since the Tang Dynasty, the Cantonese innovation of the mid-19th century was to serve tea together with a variety of light dishes, or dim sum. The concept took off, and today Guangzhou's restaurants stimulate customers' appetite with over a thousand offerings, each more delicate and delicious than the last.The Cantonese do not hurry over their breakfasts, as I found when I visited a restaurant in Guangzhou's old city centre this morning. The emphasis is rather on conversation about business, family or pleasure, and locals can spend hours together chatting, drinking tea and working their way through the menu. From beef balls to rice noodle rolls, there are various dishes that have been baked, boiled, steamed or fried. A single visit is not enough to appreciate everything, and I have a long list of dim sum I still need to try.。

2020牛津译林版新教材高中英语必修三课文原文B3U2 Natural disastersReadingPupil’s lives spared during Falmont earthquakeBy Raymond Tran18 MarchFALMONT—On 17 March, 476 students and 36 teachers at Falmont Primary School escaped an earthquake that hit the county at 2:27 p.m. Only 5 students suffered slight injuries, despite the current figures of 7 killed and over 200 injured in the disaster area at large.Alice Brown, head teacher at Falmont Primary School, was teaching when the floor began to shake. Her students' reaction was quick and correct—they moved under their desks, head first, and held on to the legs of the desks. At the same time, Miss Brown quickly opened the classroom door, in case it became damaged during the shaking and could not open. There were loud crashes of glass breaking and things falling to the ground, but the students remained still and waited calmly and quietly.The moment the shaking stopped, Miss Brown sensed it was the best time for the class to make their escape. She signalled to her students to exit the classroom in an orderly line covering their heads with their hands. Within one minute and twenty seconds, the whole class went down the stairs and rushed to the playground. Soon students from other classes arrived too. After a roll call confirmed that all were safe and sound, they relaxed, laughing, crying and hugging each other.“We practise earthquake safety procedures twice a year,”said Miss Brown, “so the kids were calm enough to protect themselves during the earthquake.”By Jessie Cable21 DecemberNEWDALE—On 20 December, a series of huge waves caused by an undersea earthquake raced across the ocean near Goldshore and left thousands dead. Goldshore Beach was the only local beach to survive the disaster without any loss of life. A 10-year-old girl, Sabrina Andron，helped around 100 people escape danger with her knowledge of tsunamis.The day began like any other on Goldshore Beach. People were walking, running or simply sitting on the sandy beach, enjoying the warm sea air and the soft wind that brushed their hair. Sabrina was one of the happy tourists until she noticed something odd. “The water was like the bubbles on the top of a beer,”she later explained. “It wasn't calm and it wasn't going in and then out. It was just coming in and in and in.”Sabrina had just learnt about tsunamis in a Geography lesson. It immediately occurred to her that these were signs of an approaching tsunami.Sabrina was frightened, but she soon kept her head. She warned her parents of the danger, though at first they just thought she was joking. However, Sabrina was certain that a terrible disaster was on its way and kept asking her parents to talk to a safety officer. To her great relief, the officer immediately realized the coming danger. The beach was rapidly cleared of people, just before the huge waves crashed into the coast.B3U2 Extended readingThe Last Day of Pompeii(Excerpt)Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873) was a talented British writer who left his mark on the English language. His classic novel The Last Days of Pompeii imagines life in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii in the year 79, when Mount Vesuvius erupted. This terrible natural disaster destroyed Pompeii completely, but it also kept the ancient city as it was for future ages. Since 1748, Pompeii has been systematically unearthed. Today it is an international tourist destination.Pompeii was a typical Roman city. In its little shops, its tiny palaces, its forum, its wine bars, its theatre—in the energy and skill of its people, you saw a model of the whole Roman Empire. Trading ships bringing imports to the city or carrying exports overseas, along with golden pleasure boats for the rich, were crowded together in the glassy water of the port. The boats of the fishermen moved rapidly in all directions. Above all, the cloud-capped top of Mount Vesuvius appeared. Its ashy rocks, now dark, now light, told a story of past eruptions that might have warned the city what was to come!The awful night rolled slowly away, and the dawn greyly broke on THE LAST DAY OF POMPEII! The crowd looked upwards, and saw, with unspeakable fear, a huge cloud shooting from the top of the volcano. It took the form of a huge tree: the trunk, blackness, the branches, fire! This fire moved and changed in colour with every moment: now it was wildly bright, now of a pale and dying red, and now again it burnt with an unbearable light!The cries of women broke out; the men looked at each other, but were silent. At that moment, they felt the earth shaking beneath their feet; beyond in the distance, they heard the crash of falling roofs. A moment later, the mountain-cloud seemed to roll towards them, dark and rapid, like a river；at the same time, it threw out a shower of ashes and huge pieces of burning stone! Over the empty streets—over the forum—far and wide—with many a noisy crash in the stormy sea—fell that awful shower!Each turned to fly—each running, pressing, pushing against the other. If, in the darkness, wife was separated from husband, or parent from child, there was no hope of their meeting again. Each hurried blindly and fearfully on. So came the earthquake ... and so ended life in Pompeii.Nearly seventeen centuries had rolled away before the city of Pompeii was dug from its silentresting place. Its walls were fresh as if painted yesterday; not a single colour changed on the rich pattern of its floors. In its forum, the half-finished columns seemed as if just left by the workman's hand. Long after fire and ash came for the people of Pompeii, the remains of their beautiful city survive to remind us that human lives burn bright and short.。

I followed it to see where it was going, and I was very surprised when it went into a souvenir shop. While it was looking at the souvenirs, the shop assistant called the police.

I had a really hard time with science this semester, a nd I wasn’t surprised to find that my worst report was from my science teacher. She said I was lazy, which isn’t true. It’s just that I find science really difficult. Another disappointing result was in history. My history teacher said I could do better. The good news is that my math teacher said I was hard-working. And my Spanish teacher said my listening was good.Well, that’s about all the news I have for now. Mom and Dad send their love.Love,Alan八年级下Unit 5 If you go to the party, you’ll have a great time.If I become an athlete, will I be happy? (Section B3a) For many young people, becoming a professional athlete might seem like a dream job. If you become a professional athlete, you’ll be able to make a living doing something you love. If you become famous, people all over the world will know you. Many athletes give money to schools and charities. And do a lot of work to help people. This is a great chance that many people do not have.However, professional athletes can also have many problems. If you are famous, people will watch you all the time and follow you everywhere. This can make life difficult.If you play sports for a living, your job will sometimes be very dangerous. Many professional athletes get injured. And if you become rich, you will have a difficult time knowing who your real friends are. In fact, many famous people complain that they are not happy. They say they were happier before they became rich and famous.八年级下Unit 6 How long have you been collecting shells?(Section A 3a)I’m talking to you from the Hilltop School skating Marathon. Here, students are skating to raise money for charity. For every hour they skate, each student raises then yuan for charity. The skating marathon has been going for five hours now, and several skaters are still skating. Alison was the first one to start and has been skating for the whole five hours. Next is Sam, and he has been skating for four hours. Lu Ning has been skating for four hours too, and Li Chen just started an hour ago.八年级下Unit7 Would you mind turning down the music?(Section B 3a)I don’t like waiting in line when a shop assistant has a longtelephone conversation. When that happens, I usually say, “Would youA nd I don’t like it when shop assistants f ollow memind helping me?” around. Then I say, “Could you please not follow me around? I’ll a if I n eed some help.” Usually the shop assistants say they are sorry, but sometimes they get mad. If that happens, I won’t go back to that storeagain.I get annoyed when someone talks to me while I’m reading. Thishappens to me all the time in the school library. When it happens, Iusually talk to the person because I want to be polite. But because I’mpolite, people don’t know I’m annoyed. So they do the same thing again. Perhaps in the future I should try not to be so polite.八年级下Unit 8 Why don’t you get her a scarf? (Section B 3a)The trendiest kind of pet these days is the pot-bellied pig. DavidSmith of North London has a pot-bellied pig named Connie. “Pot-belliedpigs make the best pets,”She watches TV on the sofa with me everynight. She’s my best friend.”However, life with a pig isn’t alwaysperfect. “when I got my pig, she was small,” said David, “but she eats alot. Now she’s too big to sleep in the house, so I made her a special pighouse. Also, pigs need a lot of love. Sometimes I don’t have enough timeto spend with her.”第15周八年级下Unit 9 Have you ever been to an amusement park?(Section B 3a)When I was a young girl, all I ever wanted to do was travel, and I decided that the best way to do this was to become a flight attendant. I’ve been a flight attendant for two years now. It’s a really interesting job because I travel all over the world. I discovered that the most important requirement was to speak English well, so I studied English at the Hilltop Language School for five years before I became a flight attendant. It was because I could speak English that I got the job. Thank you, Hilltop Language School!Mei Shan八年级下Unit 10 It’s a nice, isn’t it?

Last year, she visited our cousin s, Dao Wei andY u Hang at their college In Kunming. They are Dai andgrew up in western Y unnan Province near the LancangRiver, the Chinese part of the river that is called theMekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got theminterested in cycl ing too. After○2graduat ing fromcollege, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip. Iasked my sister, “Where are we going?”○3it was mysister who first had the idea to cycle along the entireMekong River from where it begins to where it ends.Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn.Although she didn’t know the best way of getting to places, she ○4 P46/53insisted that she organize the trip properly. Now I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, ○5“when are we leaving and when are we coming back?” I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course she hadn’t; my sister doesn’t○6care about detail s. So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai province. She gave me a○7P41determined look—the kind that said shejourney would begin at an ○9P29--30more thanI told her ○10P54the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. Once she ○11made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in.Several months before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found a large atlas with good maps that showed detail s of world geography. From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a Tibetan mountain. At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold, then it begins to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valley s, ○12P52 traveling across western Y unnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a and s wide valleys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China and high altitude, the Mekong become wide, brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bend s or meander s through low valleys to the plain s where rice grows. At last. The river delta enters the South Sea.1.进行一次自行车旅行2.劝服某人做某事3.看望父母4.变得感兴趣5.有一个严重的缺点6.关心，在乎，挂念7.一个有决心的学生8.改变主意9.在5000多米的高度 10.一次有趣的经历 11.非常了解我的父母12.下定决心做某事 13.清澈而冰冷的水 14.经过山谷 15.进入宽阔的山谷Journey down the MekongAlthough it was autumn, b u t．．．the snow was already beginning to fall in Tibetan. Our legs were so heavy and cold that they felt like block s of ice. Have you ever seen the snowman ride bicycles? That’s what we looked like. Along the way children dressed in long wool coats stopped to look at us. In the late afternoon we found it was so cold that our water bottle froze, however, the lakes shone like glass in the settin g sun and looked wonderful. Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual. She is very reliable and I knew I didn’t need to encourage her. To climb the mountains was a hard work but as we looked around us, we were surprised by the ○13view. We seemed to be able to see for miles. At one point(点) we are so high that we found ourselves cycl ing through clouds. Then we began going down the hills. It was great fun especially as it gradually became much warmer. In the valley colorful s flew around us and we saw many yaks and sheep eating green grass. At this point we had to change our caps, coats, glove s and trousers for T-shirts and shorts.In the early evening we always stop to make camp. We put up our tent and then we eat. After super Wang Wei put her head down on her pillow and went to sleep but I stayed awake. At midnight the sky became clearer and the stars grew brighter. It was so quiet. There was almost no wind--- only the flame s of our fire for company(陪伴, 作伴). As I lay beneath the stars I thought about how far we had already traveled.We will reach Dali in Y unnan province soon, where our cousins Dao Wei and Y u Hang will join us.

This gift was the Amber Room ，which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it 。
The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow—brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days 。
It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels ，which took the country's best artists about ten years to make .In fact ，the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However，the next King of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ，to whom the amber room belonged，decided not to keep it。

Unit1 How can we become good learners?How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year， I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly。
But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well。
Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning。
I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first。

A Violin and the LawDavid，a policeman，came to a cabin about two miles up the mountain to get Cal Richards，an armed and dangerous killer．Through a broken window，he saw an old man with a beard watching him closely．When he stepped into the cabin，he found the old man was pointing a gun at him．He looked around the cabin and didn’t see any sign of Cal．“I guess I’ll have to come again．”he said．J ust then he caught sight of a violin hanging on the wall．“Who plays the violin?”he asked．For a moment there was silence．Actually Cal’S father played the violin best in the area，but he didn’t answer，with his gun still aiming at David．David crossed the room and felt sweat on his forehead，but he took the violin from the wall as calmly as if he were a welcome visitor．He began toplay the violin，one tune after another．He was playing better than he had ever played in his life．The old man stood there，attracted．The hatred in his eyes was giving way to a look of wonder．The gun was now pointed toward the f1oor．He began to beat time，tapping one foot on the dirt floor. When the final notes of the tune died away，the old man placed the gun in a corner．“Well，stranger，”the old man said，“you play the violin excellently. Ma ybe you’ll stay for dinner and play some more for me.”After they had eaten，they sat in the spring sunshine outside the cabin．They talked about violin tunes．Not a word was said about Cal Richards．About two hours later，David stood up and said，“Sorry!I must be getting back to the town．”The old man sat，deep in thought．At last, he said，“I like the way you talk and I like the way you play the violin. I guess you’re a decent guy.”He paused as if it were hard to go on．Then，he said in a thick voice, “I’ll have a talk with Cal．I think he might give himself up tomorrow．You be at thepolice station at noon!”The next day，as the town clock struck twelve，a bearded old man came up the street towards the police station．With him was a young fellow whose appearance told of many days in hiding．小提琴和法律警察大卫来到一间往山上走约两英里处的小木屋逮捕凯尔·里查兹，他是一个全副武装的、危险的杀人凶手。

Earth Care1.I have the greatest job in the world. I travel to unusual places and work alongside people from all over the world.Sometimes working outdoors, sometimes in an office, sometimes using scientific equipment and sometimes meeting local people and tourists, I am never bored.2. Although my job is occasionally dangerous, I don't mind because danger excites me and makes me feel alive. However, the most important thing about my job is that I help protect ordinary people from one of the most powerful forces on earth - the volcano.3. I was appointed as a volcanologist working for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) twenty years ago.My job is collecting information for a database about Mount Kilauea, which is one of the most active volcanoes in Hawaii.4. Having collected and evaluated the information, I help other scientists to predict where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast.5. Our work has saved many lives because people in the path of the lava can be warned to leave their houses.6. Unfortunately, we cannot move their homes out of the way, and many houses have been covered with lava or burned to the ground.7. When boiling rock erupts from a volcano and crashes back to earth, it causes less damage than you might imagine.8. This is because no one lives near the top of Mount Kilauea, where the rocks fall.9. The lava that flows slowly like a wave down the mountain causes far more damage because it buries everything in its path under the molten rock.10. However, the eruption itself is really exciting to watch and I shall never forget my first sight of one. It was in the second week after I arrived in Hawaii.11. Having worked hard all day, I went to bed early. I was fast asleep when suddenly my bed began shaking and I heard a strange sound, like a railway train passing my window.12. Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn't take much notice.13. I was about to go back to sleep when suddenly my bedroom became as bright as day.14. I ran out of the house into the back garden where I could see Mount Kilauea in the distance.15. There had been an eruption from the side of the mountain and red hot lava was fountaining hundreds of metres into the air. It was an absolutely fantastic sight.16. The day after this eruption I was lucky enough to have a much closer look at it. Two other scientists and I were driven up the mountain and dropped as close as possible to the crater that had been formed during the eruption.17. Having earlier collected special clothes from the observatory, we put them on before we went any closer. All three of us looked like spacemen.We had white protective suits that covered our whole body, helmets, big boots and special gloves.18. It was not easy to walk in these suits, but we slowly made our way to the edge of the crater and looked down into the red, boiling centre.19. The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava for later study, but this being my first experience, I stayed at the top and watched them.20. Today, I am just as enthusiastic about my job as the day I first started.21. Having studied volcanoes now for many years, I am still amazed at their beauty as well as their potential to cause great damage.。

I went to some very interesting places. Kitty's teacher Mr Wu invited me to join in their school trip to the World Park. It was a great day but we did not enjoy it at the beginning. Yesterday morning Mr Wu and the other students met Kitty and me at the school gate. Then we got on a coach. The trip from Kitty's school took about two hours by coach. It was boring. There was a lot of traffic on the city roads but it got better when we were on the highway. Kitty and I felt sick for most of the trip. Finally, we arrived at the World Park. The sky was blue and everything was beautiful. We became very excited when we saw the Eiffel Tower from the coach! It is made of metal and really tall. When the coach stopped, we all got off quickly. Kitty and I did not feel sick any more. We just wanted to go into the park and enjoy ourselves.Soon, we were inside. The whole world was there in front of us.' There are over a hundred places of interest from all over the world. They are small but wonderful.The pyramids looked Just like the real ones in Egypt. The Golden Gate Bridge looked just like the one back home too. When I saw them, I couldn't believe my eyes. They were wonderful.It was an amazing day but the best part was the song and dance parade. The music was great and Kitty wanted to join in the dancing.You can see some photos of the trip on the Internet. Kitty's classmate Daniel taught himself how to make a home page. He put his photos on it for everyone to look at. Go and see for yourself!LoveLinda。
