必修4 Unit 1 A STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFEIt is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Following J ane's way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studie d these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means g oing back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sit s and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We wa tch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as stro ng as in a human family.Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and recordi ng their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own en vironment. However, this was not easy. When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few mont hs was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group h unting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each oth er, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system.For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world underst and and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. She is leading a busy life but she says: "Once I stop, it all comes cr owding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, 'Aren't they lucky?" And then I think about small chimps in cages th ough they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never forget ..."She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environme nt, gaining a doctor's degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She ins pires those who want to cheer the achievements of women.WHY NOT CARRY ON HER GOOD WORK?I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I choose to study at university? I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to d o some research on great women of China.By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist in women' s diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career, travelling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of them caught my e ye. It was a smallbook explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and free from sickness. Why did she wri te that? Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice? I looked carefully at the text andrealized that it was intended for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergenc y they could not reach a doctor.Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time. That was a generation when girls' education was always placed second to boys'. Was she so much cl everer than anyone else? Further reading made me realize that it was hard work and determinati on as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school. What made her succeed later o n was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day's work, went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor famil y who could not pay her.By now I could not wait to find out more about her. I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi had devote d her whole life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own. Instead she m ade sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered. By this time I was very excited. Why n ot study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work? It was still not too late for me to improve my studies, prepare for the university entrance examinations, and….必修4 Unit 2 A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLEAlthough he is one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers himself a far mer, for he works the land to do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he has struggled for thepast five decades. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid rice. In 1974, he becam e the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same fields. Now more th an 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.Born into a poor farmer's family in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural Coll ege in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing probl em in many parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests witho ut expanding the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced. The se increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less devel oped countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hunger. Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before.Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life. However, he doesn't care about being famous. He feel s it gives him less freedom to do his research. He would much rather keep time for his hobbles. He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading. Spending money o n himself or leading a comfortable life also means very little to him. Indeed, he believes that a p erson with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles. He therefore gives millions of y uan to equip others for their research in agriculture.Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. Long ago Dr yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum. Each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream: to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe. One dream is not always enough, especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.CHEMICAL OR ORGANIC FARMING?Over the past half century, using chemical fertilizers has become very common in farming. M any farmers welcomed them as a great way to stop crop disease and increase production. Recen tly, however, scientists have been finding that long-term use of these fertilizers can cause damag e to the land and, even more dangerous, to people's health.What are some of the problems caused by chemical fertilizers? First, they damage the land b y killing the helpful bacteria and pests as well as the harmful ones. Chemicals also stay in the gr ound and underground water for a long time. This affects crops and, therefore, animals and huma ns, since chemicals get inside the crops and cannot just be washed off. These chemicals in the f ood supply build up in people's bodies over time. Many of these chemicals can lead to cancer or other illnesses. In addition, fruit, vegetables and other food grown with chemical fertilizers usually grow too fast to be full of much nutrition. They may look beautiful, but inside there is usually m ore water than vitamins and minerals.With these discoveries, some farmers and many customers are beginning to turn to organic f arming. Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals. They focus on keeping th eir soil rich and free of disease. A healthy soil reduces disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy. Organic farmers, therefore, often prefer using natural waste from animals as fertilizer. Th ey feel that this makes the soil in their fields richer in minerals and so more fertile. This also kee ps the air, soil, water and crops free from chemicals.Organic farmers also use many other methods to keep the soil fertile. They often change the kind of crop in each field every few years, for example, growing corn or wheat and then the ne xt year peas or soybeans. Crops such as peas or soybeans put important minerals back into the soil, making it ready for crops such as wheat or corn that need rich and fertile soil. Organic far mers also plant crops to use different levels of soil, for example, planting peanuts that use the gr ound's surface followed by vegetables that put down deep roots. Some organic farmers prefer pla nting grass between crops to prevent wind or water from carrying away the soil, and then leaving it in the ground to become a natural fertilizer for the next year's crop. These many different orga nic farming methods have the same goal: to grow good food and avoid damaging the environmen t or people's health.必修4 Unit 3 A MASTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOURAs Victor Hugo once said, "Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face", and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. He brightened the lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between. He made peop le laugh at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel more content with their lives.Not that Charlie's own life was easy! He was born in a poor family in 1889. His parents wer e both poor music hall performers. You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially when the family income was often uncertain. Unfortunately his father died, leaving the family even worse off, so Charlie spent his childhood looking after his si ck mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had, through his humour, become one of the m ost popular child actors in England. He could mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday task s. No one was ever bored watching him -his subtle acting made everything entertaining.As time went by, he began making films. He grew more and more popular as his charming c haracter, the little tramp, became known throughout the world. The tramp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small round black hat. He walked a round stilly carrying a walking stick. This character was a social failure but was loved for his opti mism and determination to overcome all difficulties. He was the underdog who was kind even wh en others were unkind to him.How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining? Here is an example from one of his most famous films, The Gold Rush. It is the mid-nineteenth century and gold has just been di scovered in California. Like so many others, the little tramp and his friend have rushed there in s earch of gold, but without success. Instead they are hiding in a small hut on the edge of a moun tain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat. They are so hungry that they try boiling a pair of le ather shoes for their dinner. Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spagh etti. Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak. Finally he tries cu tting and chewing the bottom of the shoe. He eats each mouthful with great enjoyment. The actin g is so convincing that it makes you believe that it is one of the best meals he has ever tasted!Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed and produced the films he starred in. In 1972 he was given a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films. He lived in England and the USA but spent his l ast years in Switzerland, where he was buried in 1977. He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with great confidence.ENGLISH JOKES1 There are thousands of jokes which use "play on words" to amuse us. One person asks a question which expects a particular reply. Instead, what he gets is another kind of answer which makes the situation funny. Now read some of these customer and waiter jokes. Can you match the joke with the explanation?1 C: What's that fly doing in my soup?W: Swimming, I think!2 C: What's that?W: It's bean soup.C: I don't want to know what it's been. I want to know what it is now.3 C: Waiter, will the pancakes be long?W: No, sir. Round.2 Some jokes are longer and tell a short, funny story. The following is one of those jokes a bout the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend Doctor Watson. Read it and decide wh ich of these two kinds of jokes you like better. Give your reasons.Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson went camping in a mountainous area. They were lying i n the open air under the stars. Sherlock Holmes looked up at the stars and whispered, "Watson, when you look at that beautiful sky, what do you think of?" Watson replied, "I think of how short life is and how long the universe has lasted." "No, no, Watson!" Holmes said. "What do you reall y think of?." Watson tried again. "I think of how small I am and how vast the sky is." "Try again, Watson!" said Holmes. Watson tried a third time. "I think of how cold the universe is and how w arm people can be in their beds." Holmes said, "Watson, you fool! You should be thinking that s omeone has stolen our tent!"必修4 Unit 4COMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university's student association, went to th e Capital International Airport to meet this year's international students. They were coming to stud y at Beijing University. We would take them first to their dormitories and then to the student cant een. After half an hour of waiting for their flight to arrive, I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking around curiously. I stood for a minute watching them and then went to greet them.The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by Julia Smith fro m Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surprised. Tony a pproached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that there was probably a major mi sunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, together with George Cook fromCanada. As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched George's moving hand. They both apol ogized - another cultural mistake!Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan. When we met yesterday, he mo ved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer to ask a q uestion and then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulon from France came dashing through the door, she recognized Tony Garcia's smiling face. They shook hands and then kissed each other t wice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meet people they know. Ahme d Aziz., on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls. Men from Middle Eastern and other Muslim c ountries will often stand quite close to other men to talk but will usually not touch women.As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural "body language". Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable in the same way with t ouching or distance between people. In the same way that people communicate with spoken lang uage, they also express their feelings using unspoken "language" through physical distance, action s or posture. English people, for example, do not usually stand very close to others or touch stra ngers as soon as they meet. However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South American co untries approach others closely and are more likely to touch them. Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands, but some cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow.These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures have developed. I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are very general - not all members of a culture behave in the same way. In general, though, studying international customs can cert ainly help avoid difficulties in today's world of cultural crossroads!SHOWING OUR FEELINGSBody language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more power ful than spoken language. People around the world show all kinds of feelings, wishes and attitude s that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to "read" others around us, even if they do no t intend for us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal.The most universal facial expression is, of course, the smile –its function is to show happine ss and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however. Smiles ar ound the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone "loses face" and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose o f smiling is to show good feelings.From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning. In most places ar ound the world, frowning and turning one's back to someone shows anger. Making a fist and sha king it almost always means that someone is angry and threatening another person.There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the head up and do wn is used for agreement, almost worldwide. Most people also understand that shaking the head from side to side means disagreement or refusal.How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will, in most cas es, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or somet hing, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested. If I roll my eyes and turn m y head away, I most likely do not believe what I am hearing or do not like it.Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to a boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it is not usually goo d to stand too close to someone of a higher rank. Standing at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen.With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities in bod y language. We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we underst and each other as well as we do!必修4 Unit 5THEME PARKS —FUN AND MORE THAN FUNWhich theme park would you like to visit? There are various kinds of theme parks, with a dif ferent park for almost everything: food, culture, science, cartoons, movies or history. Some parks are famous for having the biggest or longest roller coasters, others for showing the famous sights and sounds of a culture. Whichever and whatever you like, there is a theme park for you!The theme park you are probably most familiar with is Disneyland. It can be found in several parts of the world. It will bring you into a magical world and make your dreams come true, whet her traveling through space, visiting a pirate ship or meeting your favourite fairy tale or Disney ca rtoon character. As you wander around the fantasy amusement park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a parade or on the street. Of course Disneyland also has many exciting rides, from giant swinging ships to terrifying free-fall drops. With all these attractions, no wonder touris m is increasing wherever there is a Disneyland. If you want to have fun and more than fun, com e to Disneyland!Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in the southeasternUSA, is one of the most unique theme parks in the world. Dollywood shows and celebrates America's traditional southeastern culture. Although Dollywood has rides, the park's main attraction is its culture. Famous country music groups perform there all year in indoor and outdoor theatre s. People come from all over America to see carpenters and other craftsmen make wood, glass and iron objects in the old-fashioned way. Visit the candy shop to try the same kind of candy tha t American southerners made 150 years ago, or take a ride on the only steam- engine train still working in the southeast USA. You can even see beautiful bald eagles in the world's largest bald eagle preserve. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has one of the best old wooden roller c oasters, Thunderhead. It is world-famous for having the most length in the smallest space. Come to Dollywood to have fun learning all about America's historical southeastern culture!If you want to experience the ancient days and great deeds of English knights and ladies, pri nces and queens, then England's Camelot Park is the place for you. Every area of the park is m odelled after life in the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. In one place, yo u can watch magic shows with Merlin the Wizard. If you want to see fighting with swords or on horseback, then the jousting area is a good place to visit. If you do well there, King Arthur may choose you to fight in the big jousting tournament. Do you like animals? Then visit the farm area, and learn how people in ancient England ran their farms and took care of their animals. To ente r a world of fantasy about ancient England, come to Camelot Park!FUTUROSCOP —EXCITEMENT AND LEARNINGLast week I took a journey deep into space, to the end of the solar system, and was pulled into a black hole. Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash in the jungle. After that, I joined some divers and went to the bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures that have never seen sunlight. For a break, I took part in some car racing and then s kied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended my travels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur, the terrible T-Rex, and survived the experience!I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of the lar gest space-age parks in the world. This science and technology-based theme park in France usesthe most advanced technology. Its 3-D cinemas and giant movie screens provide brand new exp eriences of the earth and beyond. Visitors can get close to parts of the world they have never ex perienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through the jungle or visiting the edges of the solar system. The amazing, up-to-date information together with many opportunities for hands-on learning makes the world come to life in a completely new way for visitors. Learning centres thro ughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments, as well as learn more about spac e travel, the undersea world and much mote.I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park's entrance, but tickets are also availabl e online. Futuroscope is not only for individuals, but is also the perfect mix of fun and learning fo r class outings. Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know their plans in advance c an get the group admission rate. For anyone coming from out of town, Futuroscope has many ex cellent hotels nearby, most of which provide a shuttle service to the park. If driving, Futuroscope i s within easy reach of the freeway. Plan your trip well before starting, since Futuroscope has so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops that it is difficult to see them all. Come ready to walk a lot - be sure to wear some comfortable sneakers or other walking shoes!。

Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially when the family income was oftenuncertain. Unfortunately, his father died, leaving the family even worse off, so Charlie spenthis childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had,through his humour, become one of the most popular child actors in English. He couldmime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored watchinghim— his subtle acting made everything entertaining.As time went by, he began making films. He grew more and more popular as hischarming character, the little tramp, became known throughout the world. The tramp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small round black hat. He walked around stiffly carrying a walking stick. This character was a social failurebut was loved for his optimism and determination to overcome all difficulties. He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkind to him.How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining? Here is an example from oneof his most famous films, The Gold Rush. It is the mid-nineteenth century and gold has just been discovered in California. Like so many others, the little tramp and his friend have rushed there in search of gold, but without success. Instead they are hiding in a small hut on the edge of a mountain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat. They are so hungry thatthey try boiling a pair of leather shoes for their dinner. Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti. Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak. Finally he tries cutting and chewing the bottom of the shoe. I he eats each mouthful with great enjoyment. The acting is so convincing that it makes you believe that itis one of the best meals he has ever tasted!Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed and produced the films he starred in. In 1972 he was given a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films. He lived in English and the USAbut spent his last years in Switzerland, where he was buried in 1977. He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with great confidence.Using languageENGLISH JOKESOne person asks1. There are thousands of jokes which use “play on words” to amuse us.a question which expects a particular reply. Instead, what he gets is another kind of answer which makes the situation funny. Now read some of these customer and waiter jokes. Can you match the joke with the explanation?1. C: What’s that fly doing in my soup?W: Swimming, I think!2.

Some jokes are longer and tell a short, funny story. The following is one of those jokesabout the famous detective Sherlock Homes and his friend Doctor Watson. Read it anddecide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better. Give your reasons.Sherlock Homes and Doctor Watson went camping in an mountainous area. They warelying in the open air under the stars. Sherlock Homes looked up at the stars and whispered,“Watson, when you look at that beautiful sky, what do you think of?” Watson replied,of how short life is and how long the universe has lasted.”“No, no, Watson!” HomeWatson tried again. “I think of how small I am and how“what do you really think of?” Said Holmes. Watson tried a third time. “I“Try again, Watson! ” vast the sky is.” Holmes said,think of how cold the universe is and how warm people can be in their beds.” “Watson, you fool! You should be thinking that someone has stolen our tent! ”Unit 4 Body LanguageReadingCOMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university’s student association, wentThey werethe Capital International Airport to meet this year’s international students.coming to study at Beijing University. We would taken them first to their dormitories andthen to the student canteen. After half an hour of waiting for their flight to arrive, I sawseveral young people enter the waiting area looking around curiously. I stood fro a minutewatching them and then went to greet them.The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by JuliaSmith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was verysurprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! Shestepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that therewas probably a major misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling,together with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached hishand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akria bowed so his noseanother cultural mistake!touched George’s moving hand.They both apologized—Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan. When we met yesterday, hemoved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer toask a question and then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulon from France came dashingthrough the door, she recognized Tony Garcia’s smiling face.They shook hand and thenkissed each other twice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meetpeople they know. Ahmed Aziz, on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls. Men fromMiddle Eastern and other Muslim countries will often stand quite close to other men to talkbut will usually not touch women.As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural “bod language”. Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable in thesame way with touching or distance between people. In the same way that peoplecommunicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings using unspoken“language” through physical distance, actions or posture.English people, for example, donot usually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However,people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others closely andare more likely to touch them. Most people around the world now greet each other byshaking hands, but some cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who preferto bow.These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures have developed.I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are very general—not allmembers of a culture behave in the same way. In general, though, studying internationalcustoms can certainly help avoid difficulties in today’s world of cultural crossroads!Using LanguageSHOWING OUR FEELINGSBody language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even morepowerful than spoken spoken language. People around the world show all kinds of feelings,wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to “read” others aroundus, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course,body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal.The most university facial expression is, of course, the smile— its function is to showhappiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however.Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. ThereHowev er, theare unhappy smiles, such as when someone “loses face” and smiles to hide it.general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings.From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning. In most placesMaking a fistaround the world, frowning and turning one’s back to someone shows anger.and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry and threatening anther person.There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the head up anddown is used for agreement almost worldwide. Most people also understand that shakingthe head from side to side means disagreement or refusal.How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will, in mostcases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested. If I roll my eyesand turn my head away, I most likely do not believe what I am hearing or do not like it.Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it is probablynot a good idea to give a hug to a boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it is not usuallygood to stand too close to someone of a higher rank. Standing at a little distance with openhands will show that I am willing to listen.With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities inbody language. We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do!Unit 5 Theme parksReadingTHEME PARKES—FUN AND MORE THAN FUNWhich theme park would you like to visit? There are various kinds of theme parks, with adifferent park for almost everything: food, culture, science, cartoons, movies or history.Some parks are famous for having the biggest or longest roller coasters, others for showingthe famous sights and sounds of a culture.

Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash inthe jungle. After that, I joined some divers and went to the bottom of the ocean to seestrange blind creature that have never seen sunlight. For a break, I took part in some carracing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended mytravels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur, the terrible T-Rex, and survived theexperience!I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of thelargest space-age parks in the world. This science and technology-based theme park inFrance uses the most advanced technology. Its 3-D cinemas and giant movie screensprovide brand new experiences of the earth and beyond. Visitors can get close to parts ofthe world they have never experienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through thejungle or visiting the edges of the solar system. The amazing, up-to-date informationtogether with many opportunities for hands-on learning makes the world come to life in acompletely new way for visitors. Learning centers throughout the park let visitors try theirown scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the undersea world andmuch more.I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park’s entrance, but tickets are also available online. Futuroscope is not only for individuals, but is also the perfect mix of funand learning for class outings. Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know theirplans in advance can get the group admission rate. For anyone coming from out of town,Futuroscope has many excellent hotels nearly, most of which provide a shuttle service to thepark. If driving, Futuroscope is within easy reach of the freeway. Plan your trip wellbefore starting, since Futuroscope has so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops thatit is difficult to see them all. Come ready to walk a lot— be sure to wear some comfortable sneakers or other walking shoes!。

必修4 Unit 1A STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFEIt is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over in . Following Jane's way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family.She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gaining a doctor's degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women.WHY NOT CARRY ON HER GOOD WORK?By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist in women's diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career, travelling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of them caught my eye. It was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and free from sickness. Why did she write that? Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice? I looked carefully at the text and realized that it was intended for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time. That was a generation when girls' education was always placed second to boys'. Was she so much cleverer than anyone else? Further reading made me realize that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school. What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day's work, went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.By now I could not wait to find out more about her. I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi had devoted her whole life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own. Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies weresafely delivered. By this time I was very excited. Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work? It was still not too late for me to improve my studies, prepare for the university entrance examinations, and….必修4 Unit 2A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLEAlthough he is one of 's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers himself a farmer, for he works the land to do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he has struggled for the past five decades. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid rice. In 1974, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same fields. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in each year is from this hybrid strain.Born into a poor farmer's family in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. Ina recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced. These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in . Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in , and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hunger. Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before.Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. Long ago Dr yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum. Each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream: to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe. One dream is not always enough, especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.CHEMICAL OR ORGANIC FARMING?What are some of the problems caused by chemical fertilizers? First, they damage the land by killing the helpful bacteria and pests as well as the harmful ones. Chemicals also stay in the ground and underground water for a long time. This affects crops and, therefore, animals and humans, since chemicals get inside the crops and cannot just be washed off. These chemicals in the food supply build up in people's bodies over time. Many of these chemicals can leadto cancer or other illnesses. In addition, fruit, vegetables and other food grown with chemical fertilizers usually grow too fast to be full of much nutrition. They may look beautiful, but inside there is usually more water than vitamins and minerals.With these discoveries, some farmers and many customers are beginning to turn to organic farming. Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals. They focus on keeping their soil rich and free of disease. A healthy soil reduces disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy. Organic farmers, therefore, often prefer using natural waste from animals as fertilizer. They feel that this makes the soil in their fields richer in minerals and so more fertile. This also keeps the air, soil, water and crops free from chemicals.必修4 Unit 3A MASTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOURAs Victor Hugo once said, "Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face", and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. He brightened the lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between. He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel more content with their lives.How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining? Here is an example from one of his most famous films, The Gold Rush. It is themid-nineteenth century and gold has just been discovered in . Like so many others, the little tramp and his friend have rushed there in search of gold, but without success. Instead they are hiding in a small hut on the edge of a mountain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat. They are so hungry that they try boiling a pair of leather shoes for their dinner. Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti. Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak. Finally he tries cutting and chewing the bottom of the shoe. He eats each mouthful with great enjoyment. The acting is so convincing that it makes you believe that it is one of the best meals he has ever tasted!Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed and produced the films he starred in. In 1972 he was given a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films. He lived in and the but spent his last years in , where he was buried in 1977. He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with great confidence.ENGLISH JOKES1 There are thousands of jokes which use "play on words" to amuse us. One person asks a question which expects a particular reply. Instead, what he gets is another kind of answer which makes the situation funny. Now read some of these customer and waiter jokes. Can you match the joke with the explanation?: What's that fly doing in my soup?W: Swimming, I think!: What's that?W: It's bean soup.C: I don't want to know what it's been. I want to know what it is now.: Waiter, will the pancakes be long?W: No, sir. Round.2 Some jokes are longer and tell a short, funny story. The following is one of those jokes about the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend Doctor Watson. Read it and decide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better. Give your reasons.Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson went camping in a mountainous area. They were lying in the open air under the stars. Sherlock Holmes looked up at the stars and whispered, "Watson, when you look at that beautiful sky, what do you think of?" Watson replied, "I think of how short life is and how long the universe has lasted." "No, no, Watson!" Holmes said. "What do you really think of?." Watson tried again. "I think of how small I am and how vast the sky is." "Try again, Watson!" said Holmes. Watson tried a third time. "I think of how cold the universe is and how warm people can be in their beds."Holmes said, "Watson, you fool! You should be thinking that someone has stolen our tent!"必修4 Unit 4COMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from , closely followed by Julia Smith from . After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that there was probably a major misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from came in smiling, together with George Cook from . As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched George's moving hand. They both apologized - another cultural mistake!Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from . When we met yesterday, he moved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer to ask a question and then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulon from came dashing through the door, she recognized Tony Garcia's smiling face. They shook hands and then kissed each other twice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meet people they know. Ahmed Aziz., on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls.

In general, though, studying international customs can certainly help avoid difficulties in today's world of cultural crossroads!SHOWING OUR FEELINGSThe most universal facial expression is, of course, the smile – its function is to show happiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone "loses face" and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings.From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning. In most places around the world, frowning and turning one's back to someone shows anger. Making a fist and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry and threatening another person.There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the head up and down is used for agreement, almost worldwide. Most peoplealso understand that shaking the head from side to side means disagreement or refusal.How about showing that I am bored?

Insteadshe made sure that about 50,000 babies were _________(safe) delivered. By this time I was very excited. Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work?---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------It was still not _________ late for me to improve my studies,prepare _________ the university entrance examinations, and. Unit 2 Working the land Reading: A pioneer for all peopleAlthough he is one of China’s most famous _________(scientist),Yuan Longping considers himself a farmer, for he works the landto do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and hisslim, strong body are just like those of _________(million) ofChinese farmers, _________ whom he has struggled for the pastfive _________(decade). Dr Yuan Longping grows _________ iscalled super hybrid rice. In 1974, he became the first_________(agriculture) pioneer in the world to grow rice thathas a high output. This special strain of rice makes _________possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the samefields. Now more than 60% of the rice _________(produce) inChina each year is from this hybrid strain._________(bear) in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated _________ Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Since then, _________(find) waysto grow more rice has been his life goal. As a young man, hesaw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time,hunger was a _________(disturb) problem in many parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched _________ a way to increase rice5/ 22harvests without _________(expand) the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice _________ produced. These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world’s people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now _________(circulate) his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. _________(thank) to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hunger. Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before. Dr Yuan is quite _________(satisfy) with his life. However, he doesn’t care about being famous. He feels it gives him less _________(free) to do his research. He would much rather keep time for his hobbles. He enjoys _________(listen) to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading. Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also _________(mean) very little to him. Indeed, he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than _________(few) troubles. He therefore gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture. Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. Long ago Dr yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------as sorghum. Each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice _________ could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream: to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe. One dream is not always enough, _________(especial) for a person _________ loves and cares for his people. Using language: Chemical or organic farming Over the past half century, _________(use) chemical fertilizers has become very common in farming. Many farmers welcomed them as a great way to stop crop disease and increase production. Recently, _________, scientists have been finding that long-term use of these fertilizers can cause damage _________ the land and, even more dangerous, to people’s health. What are some of the problems _________(cause) by chemical fertilizers? First, they damage the land by killing the helpful _________(bacterium) and pests as well as the harmful ones. Chemicals also stay in the ground and underground water for a long time. This _________(effect) crops and, therefore, animals and humans, since chemicals get inside the crops and cannot just be washed _________. These chemicals in the food supply build _________7/ 22in people’s bodies over time. Many of these chemicals can lead _________ cancer or other _________(illness). In addition, fruit, vegetables and other food grown with chemical fertilizers usually grow too fast to be full of much nutrition. They may look beautiful, but inside there is usually _________(much) water than vitamins and minerals. With these _________(discovery), some farmers and many customers are beginning to turn _________ organic farming. Organic farming is simply farming _________ using any chemicals. They focus _________ keeping their soil rich and free of disease.A healthy soil reduces disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy. Organic farmers, _________, often prefer using natural waste from animals as fertilizer. They feel that this makes the soil in their fields _________(rich) in minerals and so more fertile. This also keeps the air, soil, water and crops free from chemicals. Organic farmers also use many other methods to keep the soil fertile. They often change the kind of crop in each field _________ few years, for example, growing corn or wheat and then the next year peas or soybeans. Crops such as peas or soybeans put important minerals back into the soil, making it ready for crops such as wheat or corn _________ need rich and fertile soil. Organic farmers also plant crops---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------to use different levels of soil, for example, planting peanuts that use the ground’s surface followed by vegetables that put down deep roots. Some organic farmers prefer planting grass between crops to prevent wind or water _________ carrying away the soil, and then leaving it in the ground to become a _________(nature) fertilizer for the next year’s crop. These many different organic farming _________(method) have the same goal: to grow good food and avoid _________(damage) the environment or people’s health. Unit 3 A taste of English Humor Reading: A master of nonverbal humour As Victor Hugo once said, Laughter is the sun that _________(drive) winter from the human face, and up to now nobody has been able to do this _________(well) than Charlie Chaplin. He brightened the lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between. He made people _________(laugh) at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel more content _________ their lives. Not that Charlie’s own life was easy! He was born in a poor family in 1889. His parents were both poor music hall _________(perform). You may find _________ astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was9/ 22common in acting families at this time, _________(especial) when the family income was often uncertain._________(fortunate) his father died, leaving the family even_________(badly)worse off, so Charlie spent his childhood_________(look) after his sick mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had, through his humour, become one of the most popular child actors in England. He could mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored watchinghim -his subtle acting made everything _________(entertain). As time _________(go) by, he began making films. He grew moreand more popular as his charming character, the little tramp, became known _________ the world.

He is loved and remembered _________ a great actor who could inspire people with great _________(confident). Unit 4 Body language Reading: Communication: No problem? Yesterday, another student and I, _________(represent) our university’s student association, went to the Capital International Airport to meet this year’s international students. They were _________(come) to study at Beijing University. We would take them first to their _________(dormitory) and then to the student canteen. After half an hour of waiting for their flight to arrive, I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking around _________(curious). I stood for a minute watching them and then went to greet them. The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely _________(follow) by Julia Smith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surprised. Tony _________(approach) Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defense.I guessed that there was probably a major misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in _________(smile), together with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ moment, however, Akira _________(bow) so his nose touched George’s moving hand. They both _________(apologize) - another cultural mistake! Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan. _________ we met yesterday, he moved very close to me as I introduced myself.I moved back a bit, but he came closer to ask a question _________ then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulon from France came dashing through the door, she recognized Tony Garcia’s smiling face. They _________(shake) hands and then kissed each other twice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meet people they know. Ahmed Aziz., on the contrary, simply nodded _________ the girls. Men from Middle Eastern and other Muslim _________(country) will often stand quite close to other men to talk but will usually not touch women. As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural body language. Not all cultures greet each other _________ same way, nor are they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance between people. In the same way that people communicate with _________(speak) language, they also express their feelings using unspoken language through physical distance, actions or posture. English people, for15/ 22example, do not usually stand very close _________ others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. _________, people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others closely and are more likely to touch them. Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands, but some cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, _________ prefer to bow. These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in _________ cultures have developed.I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are very general - not all members of a culture behave in the same way. In general, though, studying international customs can _________(certain) help avoid difficulties in today’s world of cultural crossroads! Using language: Showing our feelings Body language is one of the most _________(power) means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language. People around the world show all kinds of feelings, wishes and _________(attitude) that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to read others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course, body language can be misread, _________ many gestures and actions are universal. The most universal facial expression is, of course, the smile its function is to show---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ _________(happy) and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings _________ anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone loses face and smiles to hide it. _________, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings. From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by _________(frown). In most places around the world, frowning and turning one’s back _________ someone shows anger. Making a fist and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry and _________(threaten) another person. There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the head up _________ down is used for agreement, almost worldwide. Most people also understand that _________(shak) the head from side to side means disagreement or refusal. How about _________(show) that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will, in most cases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested. _________ I roll my eyes and turn my head away, I most likely do not believe _________ I am hearing or do not like it. Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each17/ 22culture, but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to a boss _________ teacher. In almost every culture, it is not usually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank. Standing at a little distance with open hands will show _________ I am willing to listen. With so many cultural _________(different) between people, it is great to have some similarities in body language. We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do! Unit 5 Theme parks Reading: Theme parks----Fun and more than fun Which theme park would you like to visit?

4－1 Women of AchievementFollowing Jane's way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest.Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family.Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and recording their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. However, this was not easy. When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. (Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project). Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system.For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. She is leading a busy life but she says:"Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, 'Aren't they lucky?" And then I think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never forget ..."She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gaining a doctor's degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women.4－2 A pioneer for all peopleAlthough he is one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers himself a farmer, for he works the land to do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he has struggled for the past five decades. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid rice. In 1974, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same fields. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.Born in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced. These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hunger. Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before.Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life. However, he doesn't care about being famous. He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research. He would much rather keep time for his hobbles. He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading. Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also means very little to him. Indeed, he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles. He therefore gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture.Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. Long ago Dr yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum. Each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream: to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe. One dream is not always enough, especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.4－4 Body languageYesterday, another student and I, representing our university's student association, went to the Capital International Airport to meet this year's international students.

Of course Disneyland also has many exciting rides, from giant swinging ships to terrifying free-fall drops. With all these attractions, no wonder tourism is increasing wherever there is a Disneyland. If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland!Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in the southeastern USA, is one of the most unique theme parks in the world. Dollywood shows and celebrates America's traditional southeastern culture. Although Dollywood has rides, the park's main attraction is its culture. Famous country music groups perform there all year in indoor and outdoor theatres. People come from all over America to see carpenters and other craftsmen make wood, glass and iron objects in the old-fashioned way. Visit the candy shop to try the same kind of candy that American southerners made 150 years ago, or take a ride on the only steam- engine train still working in the southeast USA. You can even see beautiful bald eagles in the world's largest bald eagle preserve. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has one of the best old wooden roller coasters, Thunderhead. It is world-famous for having the most length in the smallest space. Come to Dollywood to have fun learning all about America's historical southeastern culture!If you want to experience the ancient days and great deeds of English knights and ladies, princes and queens, then England's Camelot Park is the place for you. Every area of the park is modelled after life in the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. In one place, you can watch magic shows with Merlin the Wizard. If you want to see fighting with swords or on horseback, then the jousting area is a good place to visit. If you do well there, King Arthur may choose you to fight in the big jousting tournament. Do you like animals? Then visit the farm area, and learn how people in ancient England ran their farms and took care of their animals. To enter a world of fantasy about ancient England, come to Camelot Park!Last week I took a journey deep into space, to the end of the solar system, and was pulled into a black hole. Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash in the jungle. After that, I joined some divers and went to the bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures that have never seen sunlight. For a break, I took part in some car racing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended my travels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur, the terrible T-Rex, and survived the experience!I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of the largest space-age parks in the world. This science and technology-based theme park in France uses the most advanced technology. Its 3-D cinemas and giant movie screens provide brand new experiences of the earth and beyond. Visitors can get close to parts of the world they have never experienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through the jungle or visiting the edges of the solar system. The amazing, up-to-date information together with many opportunities for hands-on learning makes the world come to life in a completely new way for visitors. Learning centres throughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the underseaworld and much mote.I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park's entrance, but tickets are also available online. Futuroscope is not only for individuals, but is also the perfect mix of fun and learning for class outings. Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know their plans in advance can get the group admission rate. For anyone coming from out of town, Futuroscope has many excellent hotels nearby, most of which provide a shuttle service to the park. If driving, Futuroscope is within easy reach of the freeway. Plan your trip well before starting, since Futuroscope has so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops that it is difficult to see them all. Come ready to walk a lot - be sure to wear some comfortable sneakers or other walking shoes!3－1 Festivals around the worldFestivals 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 and 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.。

高一英语必修4课文以及翻译必修4 Unit 1A STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFEIt is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Following Jane's way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family.Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and recording their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. However, this was not easy. When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system.For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. She is leading a busy life but she says: "Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, 'Aren't they lucky?" And then I think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never forget ..."She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gaining a doctor's degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women.。
