It was great to hear from you, and I can’t wait to meet you.I hope you will know me from my photo when I arrive at the airport. I’m quite tall, with short fair hair, and I wear glasses. I’ll wear jeans and a T-shirt for the journey, but I’ll also carry my warm coat. I’ve got your photo — you look very pretty. So I’m sure we’ll find each other!Thanks for telling me about your hobbies. You sound just like me! I spend a lot of time playing classical music with my friends at school, but I also like dance music — I love dancing! I enjoy sports as well, especially tennis. My brother is in the school tennis team — I’m very proud of him! He’s good at everything, but I’m not. Sometimes I get bad marks at school, and I feel sad. I should work harder. You asked me, “How do you feel about coming to China?” Well, I often feel a bit sad at first when I leave my mum and dad for a few days, and I’m quite shy when I’m with strangers. I feel nervous when I speak Chinese, but I’ll be fine in a few days. I’m always sorry when I don’t know how to do things in the right way, so please help me when I’m with you in China! Oh, I’m afraid of flying too. But I can't tell you how excited I am about going to China!See you next week!Love,SallyModule 2Unit 1 I’ve also entered lots of speaking competitions.Tony: Hi, Lingling. What are you doing?Lingling: I’m entering a competition.Tony: What kind of competition?Lingling: A speaking competition.Tony: Great. It’ll help you improve your speaking. And maybe you will win a prize. Lingling: Yes, The first prize is “My dream holiday”.Tony: Have you ever won any prizes before?Lingling: No, I haven’t. I’ve always wanted to go on a dream holiday. But I can’t afford it. The plane tickets are too expensive.Tony: Well, good luck! I’ve also entered lots of speaking competitions, but haven’t won any prizes. I’ve stopped trying now.Lingling: That’s a pity. Have you ever thought about other kinds of competitions? Tony: What do you mean?Lingling: Look! Here’s a writing competition Around the World in 80 Days. To win it, you need to write a short story about a place you’ve visited.Tony: That sounds wonderful, but I’ve never travelled much. How can I write about it?Lingling: Don’t worry. It doesn’t need to be true! You can make it up. Tony: That’s interesting. I’ll try. I hope I will win, then I will invite you to come with me.Lingling: Sorry! The first prize is only the book called Around the World in 80 Days! Unit 2 They have seen the Pyramids.Mike Robinson is a fifteen-year-old American boy and his sister Clare is fourteen. At the moment, Mike and Clare are in Cairo in Egypt, one of the biggest and busiest cities in Africa.They moved here with their parents two years ago. Their father, Peter, works for a very big company. The company has offices in many countries, and it has sent Peter to work in Germany, France and China before. Peter usually stays in a country for about two years. Then the company moves him again. His family always goes with him. The Robinsons love seeing the world. They have been to many interesting places. For example, in Egypt, they have seen the Pyramids, travelled on a boat on the Nile River, and visited the palaces and towers of ancient kings and queens.Mike and Clare have also begun to learn the language of the country, Arabic. This language is different from English in many ways, and they find it hard to spell and pronounce the words. However, they still enjoy learning it. So far they have learnt to speak German, French, Chinese and Arabic. Sometimes they mix the languages. It’s really fun,” said Clare.The Robinsons are moving again. The company has asked Peter to work back the US. Mike and Clare are happy about this. They have friends all over the world, but they also miss their friends in the US. They are counting down the days.Module 3Unit 1 Has it arrived yet?Daming: Hi, Tony. What are you up to?Tony: Hi, Daming. I’ve just made a model spaceship for our school project Daming: 1 haven’t started yet because I’m not sure how to make it Can you help me?Tony: Sure, no problem. Have you heard the latest news? Scientists have sent a spaceship to Mars. The journey has taken several months.Daming: Has it arrived yet?Tony: Yes, it has arrived already. That’s why it’s on the news.Daming: So have they discovered life on Mars?Tony: No, they haven’t yet.Daming: Are there any astronauts in the spaceship?Tony: No, there aren’t.Daming: Why? Astronauts have already been to the moon.Tony: Yes, but no one has been to Mars yet, because Mars is very far away, much farther than the moon. Lots of scientists are working hard in order to send astronauts to Mars one day.Daming: That’s interesting! How can I get information on space travel?Tony: You can go online to search for information.Daming: I will. Thank you, Tony!Unit 2 We have not found life on any other planets yet.Scientists think that there has been life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet of Mars to take photos. They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy.Scientists have always asked the questions: with so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? Why has no one communicated with us? We do not know the answers…yet.Module 4Unit 1 I haven’t done much exercise since I got my computer.Doctor: How can I help you?Darning: I feel ill. I’ve got a stomachache and my head hurts.Doctor: How long have you been like this?Darning: Since Friday. I’ve been ill for about three days!Doctor: I see. Have you caught a cold?Darning: I don’t think so.Doctor: Let me take your temperature… Mm, there’s no fever. What kind of food do you eat?Darning: Usually fast food.Doctor: Do you have breakfast?Darning: No, not usually.Doctor: That’s the problem! Fast food and no breakfast. That’s why you’ve got a stomachache.Darning: What about the headache?Doctor: Do you do any exercise?Darning: Not really. I haven’t done much exercise since I got my compute last year. Doctor: You spend too much time in front of the computer. It can be very harmful to your health.Darning: OK, so what should I do?Doctor: Well, don’t worry. It’s no serious. First, stop eating fast food and have breakfast ever day. Second, get some exercise such as running. And I’ll give you some medicine. Take it three times a day.Darning: Thank you, doctor.Unit 2 We have played football for a year now.Healthy livingI was not feeling very well so the doctor checked my heart and said I needed more exercise, I have never been very active, and I do not like sports. I have always wanted a pet, so my parents gave me a dog for my birthday. Now I get exercise by taking him for a walk every day. I have had him for three months now and I feel really healthy. — AnnaOur teacher decided to start a girls’ football team and I thought: “What a great idea!” I was the first member of the team. We have played football for a year now and we all feel very fit. Our teacher is the coach, and she also takes part in the same training with us. She is in excellent condition too. — Wang WeiIn the last few years, I went to work by underground. When I got to work, I always felt very sleepy and I was not happy. I bought a bike in January. Since then, it has become part of my life. Now I ride to work every day. It is my daily exercise.I arrive at work with a smile on my face. — ThomasFeeling weak after a long illness, I wanted to exercise more. Then a friend suggested, “Why don’t we go for a run before school?” So we started running a week ago. But I do not enjoy running, and when I get to school, I feel awful. My legs hurt and I am hot all over. Perhaps I am too weak to do any exercise. What do you think? —RichardModule 5Unit 1 It’s time to watch a cartoon.Tony: Daming, we’ve finished our homework. It’s time to watch a cartoon. Daming: Good idea, Tony. Let’s watch Superman!Tony: We watched Superman yesterday. Why don’t we watch Spiderman? It’s more modern. Daming: I think Superman is better. He’s stronger than Spiderman. He can fly through the sky and fight bad people.Tony: Spiderman can’t fly, but he climbs up buildings with his hands and feet. That’s cool. I want to be someone like him.Daming: Well, Superman is brave. He keeps fighting bad people. That’s a real hero! Tony: I don’t think we agree.Daming: All right. Let’s watch Tom and Jerry then.Tony: Yeah! I like humorous cartoons. Tom and Jerry are very funny. I can’t help laughing when I watch them!Daming: Yes, Jerry is too smart for Tom.Tony: The cute mouse always beats the cat! They fight a lot, but they really love each other. Sometimes they protect each other and work together. I think there’s a lesson there!Unit 2 Monkey King has just had his 50th birthday.Cartoon heroesNemo is a cute orange-and-white fish and Shrek is an ugly green man. They look very different, but both of them have won the hearts of young people all over the world. The pictures of these popular cartoon heroes are everywhere, on office desks, schoolbags and computer screens.There are also some older cartoon favourites. Monkey King has just had his 50th birthday. He is the hero of a story called Havoc in Heaven. He leads a group of monkeys against the Emperor of Heaven and his guards. He is brave, clever and humorous. Parents and children laugh together as Monkey King makes a terrible mess in heaven. They always expect to see more Monkey King cartoons.Tintin is another favourite cartoon hero. He has been popular for over eighty years, ever since the artist Herge invented him in 1929. Tintin has red hair and a small white dog. He works for a newspaper and has lots of exciting experiences. Fans have bought about 200 million copies of Tintin’s stories in more than fifty languages. Tintin appeared in China in the 1980s. Many Chinese still collect these black-and-white Tintin books.Finally, Snoopy, a cute dog, celebrated his 60th birthday in 2010. Snoopy lives in his own private work and finds real life hard to understand. Charles Schulz created Snoopy and his friends, and drew the cartoons to satisfy older people as well as children.Cartoon heroes are popular all over the world, and some are more than eighty years old.The most popular cartoons come out as books and not as films.Many children read cartoons today.Many foreign cartoons have become very popular in China.Module 6Unit 1 Do you collect anything?Lingling: Hi, everyone! Come in and find somewhere to sit down. Sorry, it’s a bit of a mess. I’ll put the fans on the shelf.Betty: Let me have a look. You’ve got so many fans.Lingling: Yes, about sixty.Betty: Where did you get them?Lingling: Most of them are presents. People often give me fans as presents because they know I like them. Do you collect anything?Betty: Yes, I collect coins and notes, you know, like British pounds and US dollars and cents.Lingling: Coins? They must be really valuable. Can I see them?Betty: Sure! I’ll show you my stamps too. I’ve collected stamps from all over the world, I’ve got six or seven books of stamps.Tony: My hobby doesn’t cost as much as yours —I collect tickets, bus tickets and train tickets!Betty: You can’t do anything with old tickets!Tony: I know, but when I look at them, I remember some wonderful places. Lingling: Right! Their value isn’t very important. People usually collect things just to remember something important in their lives.Unit 2 Hobbies can make you grow as a person.David’s hobbiesMany students have hobbies, such as reading, painting, growing vegetables and looking after animals. Some hobbies are relaxing and others are active. Hobbies can make you grow as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills. David Smith is a student, and one of his hobbies is writing. During the summer of 2010, he spent four weeks at a summer camp. As well as the usual activities such as sailing and climbing, there was writing class. “The teacher was writer, and she asked us to talk about our lives and tell interesting stories. Then she encouraged us to write about experiences at the camp.”Back at school, David wrote a story about the life of a sixteen-year-old boy, and it came out as a book in 2012. Many young people love his book, and as result, David has become a successful young writer.David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him pleasure and success. But writing is not his only hobby. He is also interested in many other things. “I like playing volleyball too,” says David. “I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe I’ll write about my volleyball team in my future books.”Module 7Unit 1 Please write to me and send me some photos!Lingling: Hi, Betty. I’m making a list of things for my trip. I like to get things ready earlier. Can you help me?Betty: Sure. How can I help?Lingling: Well, it sounds crazy but I don’t know what to take.Betty: You should take notebooks, pens and a dictionary.Lingling: OK. What clothes should I take to LA?Betty: When are you leaving and how long are you going to stay there?Lingling: I’m leaving at the end of July and I’m going to stay there for four weeks. Betty: Shorts are good, or you can wear light trousers, it’ll be sunny and hot there. Lingling: I haven’t got any sunglasses. I’ll buy a pair there.Betty: That’s a good idea. But remember, many things are more expensive in America. Have you got any American dollars?Lingling: Yes. Is 200 dollars enough?Betty: If you’ve already paid for the air tickets and for homestay, it should be OK.Lingling: What else?Betty: Your bag mustn’t weigh too much. You’d better ask the travel company about the total weight for all your bags. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to take your passport. Lingling: OK. Thank you.Betty: You’re welcome. You’ll have a great time. Please write to me and send me some photos!Lingling: Yes, I will!Learn English in Los AngelesCome to learn English in Los Angeles!

It’s so quiet here that I can even hear the birds singing! I can hardly believe we’re in the city centre.Lingling: This park is famous for its lake, the bridges and the ancient buildings on the hill. The lake takes up over half of the park area. Let’s walk along the lake, cross the bridge and climb up the hill. Then I can point out the sights of Beijing for you.Tony: Yes, good idea. I’m sure it’ll be fantastic to see the city from the top. Daming: But I’m so tired, and it’s so hot here. I don’t want to climb. The lake looks nice and cool. Why don’t we go for a swim?Lingling: I don’t think they allow people to swim in the lake. It’s dangerous. Daming: That’s too bad. Then why don’t we have our picnic here? I’m so hungry and thirsty.Lingling: I think it’s better to have our picnic at the top of the hill. Tony: Come on! Let’s not waste any more time.Daming: All right. I hope it will be cooler up there.Unit 2 We thought somebody was moving about.FROM: BettyTO: Mum and DadSUBJECT: Wonderful time in ZhangjiajieDear Mum and Dad,I promised to write, so…We’re staying with Lingling’s uncle in Hunan Province, and I’m having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It’s a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It’s very large, about 480 square kilometres. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals. Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard some noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling’s uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp, I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling’s uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.Tomorrow we’re going to Dong ting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in China. We’ll be back home next week! Wish you were here!Love,BettyModule 9Unit 1 Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to her?Helpline: Hello, Friendship Helpline. Who’s calling, please?Lingling: Hello. This is Lingling speaking.Helpline: Hi, Lingling! How can I help you?Lingling: I have a problem with my best friend. She’s called…Helpline: No, don’t tell me who she is. Tell me when the problem started Lingling: Yes. Well. We’ve been friends for five years. We got separated when we went to different schools last term, but we stayed in touch.Helpline: So could you explain what happened then?Lingling: This term, she came to study at my school. I was so happy at first. Butshe’s so different.Helpline: Can you tell me how she’s different?Lingling: She doesn’t like me to see my other friends.Helpline: Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to her?Lingling: Yes, but she refused to listen.Helpline: OK. Do you know why she treats you like that?Lingling: No, I don’t know.Helpline: Maybe she doesn’t feel very sure of herself in her new school. Lingling: Maybe.Helpline: She probably feels lonely without you. I’m sure she regrets hurting you. So be patient with her and explain to her that she can make friends with your other friends too. Try to introduce her to them.Lingling: I see. I’ll encourage her to join in more. Thanks.Helpline: No problem, Lingling. You’re welcome!Unit 2 I believe that the world is what you think it is.A beautiful smileWhen I was thirteen years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a smile. It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely.I could not talk to anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to worry about me.One day, my classmates were talk with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like a hidden treasure.That smile changed my life. I started talk with the other students. Day by day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has become my best friend now, and we stick together like glue. One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember! Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. My suggestion is: smile at the world and it will smile back.Module 10Chen Huan: Hi, everybody. I’m the news director at Radio Beijing.Lingling: Thank you for showing us around.Chen Huan: No problem! Now, come this way. Look at the red light. When it’s on, it means we’re on air. And we should avoid making any noise in the background! Tony: OK.Chen Huan: This is the newsroom. We collect the latest national and international news and write reports here. It gets crazy in here just before the programme begins. Lingling: How can I become a presenter?Chen Huan: I think you need to speak English really well. So keep studying, and Ihope that you can join us one day.Tony: What about the sports news?Chen Huan: That’s over there. And it is where we do interviews with big stars of sports. Let’s watch the presenter. Remember, I said you need to keep quiet if the red light is on.Presenter: Finally, we’ve just heard that Germany has won the football match, 2-1 against England.Lingling: Hey! That’s great news!Tony: No, it’s awful news!All: Ssh!Presenter:…And that’s the end of the six o’clock news.“How old are you? The radio manager looked down at me.“Fifteen,” I said.“And you want a job in radio? Shouldn’t you be at school?” he asked.How could I explain? I have always loved the radio. I still remember, when I was four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part-time jobs in small radio stations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father’s computer, talked about life at school, and hoped someone might be listening.Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared a programme once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).“OK, come with me,” the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room, behind a glass wall.“OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.”All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. The purpose is to check the sound level.“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”“OK, that’s great!” the man behind the glass said.This was how my first real job in radio began.。

The doctors sent it to London Zoo. When they knew the kind of snake, they could give Mr Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day."So my advice is this: If a snake bites you, pick up your phone. Take its photo first and then show the photo to the doctors," suggests Mr Jackson. "Oh, and if the snake doesn't smile for its photo, don't worry!"Learning to learnWhen you write instructions, make sure they are clear. Write one sentence for each step.

外研版英语八年级下课文翻译第1模块玲玲：你好，萨莉！进来坐坐。
对不起房间有点不整洁。
我收拾一下桌椅。
萨莉：嗨！瞧这些扇子！它们很漂亮！你有一个相当好的收藏品。
玲玲：是的，我有五六十把扇子。
你收藏什么东西吗？萨莉：有，我收藏娃娃。
我弟弟收集邮票。
大明：我收藏票——你知道的，汽车标和火车票。
玲玲：真的吗？但是我真正的爱好是音乐。
我一直拉小提琴和听音乐。
玲玲：什么使你对音乐如此感兴趣？萨莉：我爸爸是一位音乐家。
我经常听他拉小提琴。
八年前他就给了我第一把小提琴。
玲玲：而现在音乐把你带到中国来。
你下次什么时候演奏？萨莉：在这学期末。
在北京电视台有一个音乐会。
大明：因此你现在能轻松一点，对吗？萨莉：哦，不。
我要和你一起上学。
玲玲：太棒了。
萨莉：但下星期五不行……大明：下星期五有什么要发生？萨莉：我要去北京电视台。
我将在明星大搜索节目中做一个采访。
大明：我听说过那个节目。
人们唱歌或演奏音乐，而听众选择最佳歌手或作曲者。
玲玲：哇！你将会真的很出名。
特别的爱好很多学生都有爱好，比如阅读、绘画、在花园里种菜和照顾动物等。
有些爱好是休闲型的，其他是创意型的。
爱好可以使我们成长，培养我们的兴趣，帮助我们学习新的技能。
大卫史密斯是个学生，他的爱好是写作。
在2000夏天，他在夏令营度过四周。
除了常见的活动如驾驶帆船、登山和山地自行车运动之外，还有一个有专业作家参加的讨论会。
她叫我们想象我们在一个故事中。
然后我们写写我们在夏令营中的经历。
在高中时，他写了一个关于青少年的故事，于2003年出版成书。
很多十几岁的青少年都喜欢读他的书，而大卫也因此成为一名成功的年轻作家。
大卫是幸运的，他的爱好不仅给他带来了快乐，同时还带来了成功。
不过，他还对很多其他事情感兴趣。
“我也喜欢排球。
”大卫说：“我花一些空闲时间为校排球队打排球。
也许将来我会写更多的书，但我也不肯定。
”有时候，我们很难记住“不要把所有的时间都花在最大的爱好上”这个建议。
生活中有很多其他有趣的事情可做，我们应该尝试新的或不同的事情。

When you get angry,you can talk about it with other people.It’s helpful to talk about your anger with an adult,such as parents,a teacher,etc.When you talk about anger,those bad feelings can start to go away.Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry:talk to a good friend,count from 1 to 100,give someone a hug( 拥抱 ),go for a bike ride,think about good things,etc.
In fact,it’s not good to hide your anger,and it’s normal for you to get angry sometimes.But anger must be let out in the right way,without hurting others or yourself.

Thank you, Tony!Unit 2 We have not found life on any other planets yet.Scientists think that there has been life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe It is impossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet of Mars to take photos. They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy.Scientists have always asked the questions: with so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets Why has no one communicated with us We do not know the answers…yet.Module 4Unit 1 I haven’t done much exercise since I got my computer.Doctor: How can I help youDarning: I feel ill. I’ve got a stomachache and my head hurts.Doctor: How long have you been like thisDarning: Since Friday. I’ve been ill for about three days!Doctor: I see. Have you caught a coldDarning: I don’t think so.Doctor: Let me take your temperature…Mm, there’s no fever. What kind of food do you eatDarning: Usually fast food.Doctor: Do you have breakfastDarning: No, not usually.Doctor: That’s the problem! Fast food and no breakfast. That’s why you’ve got a stomachache.Darning: What about the headacheDoctor: Do you do any exerciseDarning: Not really. I haven’t done much exercise since I got my compute last year.Doctor: You spend too much time in front of the computer. It can be very harmful to your health.Darning: OK, so what should I doDoctor: Well, don’t worry. It’s no serious. First, stop eating fast food and have breakfast ever day. Second, get some exercise such as running. And I’ll give you some medicine. Take it three times a day.Darning: Thank you, doctor.Unit 2 We have played football for a year now.Healthy livingI was not feeling very well so the doctor checked my heart and said I needed more exercise, I have never been very active, and I do not like sports. I have always wanted a pet, so my parents gave me a dog for my birthday. Now I get exercise by taking him for a walk every day. I have had him for three months now and I feel really healthy. —AnnaOur teacher decided to start a girls’football team and I thought: “What a great idea!”I was the first member of the team. We have played football for a year now and we all feel very fit. Our teacher is the coach, and she also takes part in the same training with us. She is in excellent condition too. —Wang WeiIn the last few years, I went to work by underground. When I got to work, I always felt very sleepy and I was not happy. I bought a bike in January. Since then, it has become part of my life. Now I ride to work every day. It is my daily exercise. I arrive at work with a smile on my face. —ThomasFeeling weak after a long illness, I wanted to exercise more. Then a friend suggested, “Why don’t we go for a run before school”So we started running a week ago. But I do not enjoy running, and when I get to school, I feel awful. My legs hurt and I am hot all over. Perhaps I am too weak to do any exercise. What do you think —RichardModule 5Unit 1 It’s time to watch a cartoon.Tony: Daming, we’ve finished our homework. It’s time to watch a cartoon.Daming: Good idea, Tony. Let’s watch Superman!Tony: We watched Superman yesterday. Why don’t we watch Spiderman It’s more modern.Daming: I think Superman is better. He’s stronger than Spiderman. He can fly through the sky and fight bad people.Tony: Spiderman can’t fly, but he climbs up buildings with his hands and feet. That’s cool. I want to be someone like him.Daming: Well, Superman is brave. He keeps fighting bad people. That’s a real hero!Tony: I don’t think we agree.Daming: All right. Let’s watch Tom and Jerry then.Tony: Yeah! I like humorous cartoons. Tom and Jerry are very funny. I can’t help laughing when I watch them!Daming: Yes, Jerry is too smart for Tom.Tony: The cute mouse always beats the cat! They fight a lot, but they really love each other. Sometimes they protect each other and work together. I think there’s a lesson there!Unit 2 Monkey King has just had his 50th birthday.Cartoon heroesNemo is a cute orange-and-white fish and Shrek is an ugly green man. They look very different, but both of them have won the hearts of young people all over the world. The pictures of these popular cartoon heroes are everywhere, on office desks, schoolbags and computer screens.There are also some older cartoon favourites. Monkey King has just had his 50th birthday. He is the hero of a story called Havoc in Heaven. He leads a group of monkeys against the Emperor of Heaven and his guards. He is brave, clever and humorous. Parents and children laugh together as Monkey King makes a terrible mess in heaven. They always expect to see more Monkey King cartoons.Tintin is another favourite cartoon hero. He has been popular for over eighty years, ever since the artist Herge invented him in 1929. Tintin has red hair and a smallwhite dog. He works for a newspaper and has lots of exciting experiences. Fans have bought about 200 million copies of Tintin’s stories in more than fifty languages. Tintin appeared in China in the 1980s. Many Chinese still collect theseblack-and-white Tintin books.Finally, Snoopy, a cute dog, celebrated his 60th birthday in 2010. Snoopy lives in his own private work and finds real life hard to understand. Charles Schulz created Snoopy and his friends, and drew the cartoons to satisfy older people as well as children.Cartoon heroes are popular all over the world, and some are more than eighty years old.The most popular cartoons come out as books and not as films.Many children read cartoons today.Many foreign cartoons have become very popular in China.Module 6Unit 1 Do you collect anythingLingling: Hi, everyone! Come in and find somewhere to sit down. Sorry, it’s a bit of a mess. I’ll put the fans on the shelf.Betty: Let me have a look. You’ve got so many fans.Lingling: Yes, about sixty.Betty: Where did you get themLingling: Most of them are presents. People often give me fans as presents because they know I like them. Do you collect anythingBetty: Yes, I collect coins and notes, you know, like British pounds and US dollars and cents.Lingling: Coins They must be really valuable. Can I see themBetty: Sure! I’ll show you my stamps too. I’ve collected stamps from all over the world, I’ve got six or seven books of stamps.Tony: My hobby doesn’t cost as much as yours —I collect tickets, bus tickets and train tickets!Betty: You can’t do anything with old tickets!Tony: I know, but when I look at them, I remember some wonderful places.Lingling: Right! Their value isn’t very important. People usually collect things just to remember something important in their lives.Unit 2 Hobbies can make you grow as a person.David’s hobbiesMany students have hobbies, such as reading, painting, growing vegetables and looking after animals. Some hobbies are relaxing and others are active. Hobbies can make you grow as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills.David Smith is a student, and one of his hobbies is writing. During the summer of 2010, he spent four weeks at a summer camp. As well as the usual activities such as sailing and climbing, there was writing class. “The teacher was writer, and she asked us to talk about our lives and tell interesting stories. Then she encouraged us to write about experiences at the camp.”Back at school, David wrote a story about the life of a sixteen-year-old boy, and it came out as a book in 2012. Many young people love his book, and as result, David has become a successful young writer.David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him pleasure and success. But writing is not his only hobby. He is also interested in many other things. “I like playing volleyball too,”says David. “I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe I’ll write about my volleyball team in my future books.”Module 7Unit 1 Please write to me and send me some photos!Lingling: Hi, Betty. I’m making a list of things for my trip. I like to get things ready earlier. Can you help meBetty: Sure. How can I helpLingling: Well, it sounds crazy but I don’t know what to take.Betty: You should take notebooks, pens and a dictionary.Lingling: OK. What clothes should I take to LABetty: When are you leaving and how long are you going to stay thereLingling: I’m leaving at the end of July and I’m going to stay there for four weeks.Betty: Shorts are good, or you can wear light trousers, it’ll be sunny and hot there.Lingling: I haven’t got any sunglasses. I’ll buy a pair there.Betty: That’s a good idea. But remember, many things are more expensive in America. Have you got any American dollarsLingling: Yes. Is 200 dollars enoughBetty: If you’ve already paid for the air tickets and for homestay, it should be OK.Lingling: What elseBetty: Your bag mustn’t weigh too much. You’d better ask the travel company about the total weight for all your bags. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to take your passport.Lingling: OK. Thank you.Betty: You’re welcome. You’ll have a great time. Please write to me and send me some photos!Lingling: Yes, I will!Learn English in Los AngelesCome to learn English in Los Angeles!

It’s so quiet here that I can even hear the birds singing! I can hardly believe we’re in the city centre.Lingling: This park is famous for its lake, the bridges and the ancient buildings on the hill. The lake takes up over half of the park area. Let’s walk along the lake, cross the bridge and climb up the hill. Then I can point out the sights of Beijing for you.Tony: Yes, good idea. I’m sure it’ll be fantastic to see the city from the top.Daming: But I’m so tired, and it’s so hot here. I don’t want to climb. The lake looks nice and cool. Why don’t we go for a swimLingling: I don’t think they allow people to swim in the lake. It’s dangerous.Daming: That’s too bad. Then why don’t we have our picnic here I’m so hungry and thirsty.Lingling: I think it’s better to have our picnic at the top of the hill.Tony: Come on! Let’s not waste any more time.Daming: All right. I hope it will be cooler up there.Unit 2 We thought somebody was moving about.FROM: BettyTO: Mum and DadSUBJECT: Wonderful time in ZhangjiajieDear Mum and Dad,I promised to write, so…We’re staying with Lingling’s uncle in Hunan Province, and I’m having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It’s a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It’s very large, about 480 square kilometres. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard some noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling’s uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp, I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling’s uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.Tomorrow we’re going to Dong ting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in China. We’ll be back home next week! Wish you were here!Love,BettyModule 9Unit 1 Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to herHelpline: Hello, Friendship Helpline. Who’s calling, pleaseLingling: Hello. This is Lingling speaking.Helpline: Hi, Lingling! How can I help youLingling: I have a problem with my best friend. She’s called…Helpline: No, don’t tell me who she is. Tell me when the problem startedLingling: Yes. Well. We’ve been friends for five years. We got separated when we went to different schools last term, but we stayed in touch.Helpline: So could you explain what happened thenLingling: This term, she came to study at my school. I was so happy at first. But she’s so different.Helpline: Can you tell me how she’s differentLingling: She doesn’t like me to see my other friends.Helpline: Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to herLingling: Yes, but she refused to listen.Helpline: OK. Do you know why she treats you like thatLingling: No, I don’t know.Helpline: Maybe she doesn’t feel very sure of herself in her new school. Lingling: Maybe.Helpline: She probably feels lonely without you. I’m sure she regrets hurting you. So be patient with her and explain to her that she can make friends with your other friends too. Try to introduce her to them.Lingling: I see. I’ll encourage her to join in more. Thanks.Helpline: No problem, Lingling. You’re welcome!Unit 2 I believe that the world is what you think it is.A beautiful smileWhen I was thirteen years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I could not talk to anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to worry about me.One day, my classmates were talk with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like a hidden treasure.That smile changed my life. I started talk with the other students. Day by day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has become my best friend now, and we stick together like glue.One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember!Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. My suggestion is: smile at the world and it will smile back.Module 10Chen Huan: Hi, everybody. I’m the news director at Radio Beijing.Lingling: Thank you for showing us around.Chen Huan: No problem! Now, come this way. Look at the red light. When it’s on, it means we’re on air. And we should avoid making any noise in the background!Tony: OK.Chen Huan: This is the newsroom. We collect the latest national and international news and write reports here. It gets crazy in here just before the programme begins.Lingling: How can I become a presenterChen Huan: I think you need to speak English really well. So keep studying, and I hope that you can join us one day.Tony: What about the sports newsChen Huan: That’s over there. And it is where we do interviews with big stars of sports. Let’s watch the presenter. Remember, I said you need to keep quiet if the red light is on.Presenter: Finally, we’ve just heard that Germany has won the football match, 2-1 against England.Lingling: Hey! That’s great news!Tony: No, it’s awful news!All: Ssh!Presenter:…And that’s the end of the six o’clock news.“How old are you The radio manager looked down at me.“Fifteen,”I said.“And you want a job in radio Shouldn’t you be at school”he asked.How could I explain I have always loved the radio. I still remember, when I was four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part-time jobs in small radio stations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father’s computer, talked about life at school, and hoped someone might be listening.Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared a programme once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).“OK, come with me,”the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room, behind a glass wall.“OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.”All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. The purpose is to check the sound level.“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”“OK, that’s great!”the man behind the glass said.This was how my first real job in radio began.。

It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was verylonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I couldnot talk to anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to worry about me.One day, my classmates were talk with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, agirl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turnedback. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, livelyand warm. It was like a hidden treasure.That smile changed my life. I started talk with the other students. Day by day, I learnt totrust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smilehas become my best friend now, and we stick together like glue.One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember!Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you mightalways be alone. My suggestion is: smile at the world and it will smile back.Module 10Chen Huan: Hi, everybody.

That ’ s great news!Tony: No, it ’ s awful news!All: Ssh!Presenter: ⋯ And that ’ s the end of the six o ’ clock news.“ How old are you? The radio manager looked down at me.“ Fifteen, ” I said.“ And you want a job in radio? Shouldn’ t you be at school?” he asked.How could I explain? I have always loved the radio. I still remember, when I was four yearsold, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes and tothe voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking not to lots oflisteners but to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part-time jobs in small radiostations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once aweek, I played my favourite music from my father ’ s computer, talked aboutlife at school, andhoped someone might be listening.Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared aprogramme once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokesand the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).“ OK, come with me, ” the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room,behind a glass wall.“ OK, let’ s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.”All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. The purpose is to check the sound level.“ I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”“ OK, that’ s great!” the man behind the glass said.This was how my first real job in radio began.。

P663 Read the email and check your answers to Activity 2.FROM: BettyTO: Mum and DadSUBJECT: Wonderful time in ZhangjiajieDear Mum and Dad,I promised to write, so…We’re staying with Lingling’s uncle in Hunan Province, and I’m having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It’s a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It’s very large, about 480 square kilometres. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard some noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling’s uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp, I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling’s uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.Tomorrow we’re going to Dong ting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in China. We’ll be back home next week! Wish you were here!Love,BettyModule 9Unit 1 Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to her 723 Listen and read.Helpline: Hello, Friendship Helpline. Who’s calling, pleaseLingling: Hello.

Do you know why she treats you like thatLingling: No, I don’t know.Helpline: Maybe she doesn’t feel very sure of herself in her new school.Lingling: Maybe.Helpline: She probably feels lonely without you. I’m sure she regrets hurting you. So be patient with her and explain to her that she can make friends with your other friends too. Try to introduce her to them.Lingling: I see. I’ll encourage her to join in more. Thanks.Helpline: No problem, Lingling. You’re welcome!Unit 2 I believe that the world is what you think it is. 742 Read the passage and look at the photo. Decide who is in the photo.A beautiful smileWhen I was thirteen years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I could not talk to anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to worry about me.One day, my classmates were talk with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like a hidden treasure.That smile changed my life. I started talk with the other students. Day by day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has become my best friend now, and we stick together like glue.One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember!Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. My suggestion is: smile at the world and it will smile back.Module 10Unit 1 I hope that you can join us one day. 803 Listen and read.Chen Huan: Hi, everybody.

I still remember, when I was four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part-time jobs in small radio stations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father’s computer, talked about life at school, and hoped someone might be listening. Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared a programme once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).“OK, come with me,” the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room, behind a glass wall. “OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.”All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. The purpose is to check the sound level.“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”“OK, that’s great!” the man behind the glass said.This was how my first real job in radio began.。

You must learn how to use video, how to write reports, how to talk to the camera. What is the best way to learn? Your school or university television station is a good place tostart, but you have to get a job!Most people work without pay from the start, so they can learn.

The film starring Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, two of them are widely known love welcome party. Two of them acting in the film very well, making the role believable. Story is about an old ship, which sailed around the Caribbean islands. Depp and Bloom trying to find some of the missing gold, then they encounter some bad guys have to start fighting with them. There are many fight scenes video, looks really thrilling. They also rescued Ji Lanaiteli, she plays Elizabeth, the daughter of a rich man. Knightley and Bloom's some very beautiful scene, romantic. Although the film is not a reflection of reality, but exciting, in some places is still very funny. This is a very nice movie, although I think the fight scenes too.

Film will be released one week.Module 7Ling-Ling: Welcome to the Beihai Park.Sally: Really quiet! I can barely hear the voice of the street car and no one yelled. I can even hear the birds sing!
