外研版八年级英语上册电子课本（完整版）Module 1 How to learn EnglishUnit 1 Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.Ms James: Welcome back, everyone! Today, we’re going to talk about good ways to learn English. Ready? Who has some advice?Lingling: We should always speak English in class.Ms James: Good! Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.Daming: Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooks?Ms James: That’s a good idea. And don’t forget to write down the correct answers next to the mistakes. What else?Lingling: It’s a good idea to spell and pronounce new words aloud everyday.Ms James: Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the radio?Lingling: Yes, that’s good for our pronunciation too. But there are so many new word. Ms James: You don’t need to understand every word. You just need to listen for key words and main ideas.Daming: That’s the same for reading. English stories are so interesting. Iget to know a lot about the world through reading.Lingling: I think writing is also important. Why don’t we try to find s English pen friends? We can write to them. Ms James: Excellent! I agreewith you.Unit 2 You should smile at her!Send your questions to Diana, the Language Doctor.Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Hereare three basic questions.The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I like watching English films and listening to English songs, but I can only understand a little. What can I do?” Watching films and listening to songs are great way to learn English!Watch and listen several times, and guess the meaning of the new words.Each time you will learn something new. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote,ur school has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak toher. What should I do?” You can say, “Hello! How are you?”“Do you like China?” These ar d ways to start a conversation. And before you begin, you should smile ather! Remember this: Do not be shy. Just try.The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote,write down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them?” Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.Module 2 My home town and my countryUnit 1 It’s taller than many other buildings.Tony: Hey, Daming! How was your weekend?Daming: Pretty good! I went to Shenzhen.Tony: Where’s Shenzhen?Daming: Well, it’s on the coast near Hong Kong. It was a small village about thirty years ago, but today it’s a very big city.Tony: So it’s a newer city than Hong Kong?Daming: Yes, it’s a newer city. In fact, it only became important in the 1980s.It’s getting bigger and busier. Some day it will become as busy as Hong Kong, I’m sure.Tony: What’s the population of Shenzhen?Daming: It’s over ten million, I think. That’s larger than the populatio many other cities in China. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. I think it’s a beautiful city.Tony: I’d like to go to there one day.Daming: Remember to visit the Diwang Tower. It’s taller than many othe r buildings in Shenzhen.Unit 2 Cambridge is a beautiful city in the east of England.Cambridge, London and EnglandBy Tony SmithI come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is o n the River Cam and has a population of about 120,000. My home is espe cially famous for its university. Many famous people studied here, such a s Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and c hurches to visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of E ngland and it is on the River Thames. It has a population of about seven a nd a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cambridge. It is about 2,0 00 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Towe r Bridge.England itself is a part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and beaches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tou rists like the areas of low and beautiful lakes in the north, and the hills an d pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice how green the countryside is.It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the year, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days.Module 3 SportsUnit 1 Nothing is more exciting than playing tennis.Daming: Hey, Tony. Come and watch the football match on TV.Tony: OK. What’s the score?Daming: Spain scored a minute ago.Tony: Wow! That’s fast!Daming: That’s right. Last week the match on TV was so boring becauseno one scored at all. So this week’s match is already more exciting. Betty: What’s the matter with you, Tony? You look tired.Tony: I’m really tired after last night’s tennis match. And I hurt my kn Daming: That’s too bad! Sit down and watch the match. It’s safer th ying tennis.Betty: Yes, watching is not sure about that. Nothing is more relaxing too!Tony: Well, I’m not sure about that. Nothing is more enjoyable than playing tennis.Betty: But you enjoyed watching the Olympics on TV, right?Tony: Yes, but that’s because it was cheaper than buying tickets for all th e games.Daming: And staying at home was easier than going to the stadium. Oh, look at that!Tony: Oh, he missed! Oh, bad luck!Daming: Never mind. There’s still plenty of time for them to score.Unit2 This year we practice more carefully.Training hardBy Li Daming It is Saturday tomorrow, but I am going to school. I am not going for l essons, but to play football. I am in our school team and we are going to play against another school next week. The practice starts at 10 am. We all arrive as early as we can so that we have time to warm up. We are training harder than usual because the other team beat us last year. This year we want to do better.It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are short andthe weather is cold too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be latefor after-school practice.Our coach is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year we were sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team in the final match. What a pity! This year we practise more carefully. That means we have a better chance of winning.The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to play well so thatwe have more fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our fans around. They cheer us on loudly and we feel more confident to win the game.Module 4 Planes, ships, and trainsUnit1 He lives the farthest from schoolBetty: I was late for school today.Mum: Why? What happened?Betty: I took the bus. There was a road accident, and the traffic was veryheavy. But nobody was late, except me. Maybe I should go to school by taxi.Mum: It’s the most comfortable way, but it’s also the most expensive. Betty: Then what about going by bike?Mum: That’s a good choice, but it’s a bit dangerous. There’s so m fic.Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, and it’s quite safe. Don rry. I’ll be carefull.Mum: How does Tony go to school?Betty: He lives the farthest from school, so he takes the underground.Mum: And what about Lingling?Betty: Her home is the closest to school, so she walks.Mum: How about Daming?Betty: He goes by bus too, the same as me. But it’s so crowded! And t raffic is heavy.Mum: All right. You can ride your bike to school, but remember to be careful all the time.Unit2 What is the best way to travel?Question: What is the best way to travel from London to Amsterdam.I am planning to travel from London to Amsterdam. How long does the journey take and what is the best way to travel? Could you please tellme about the trains or ships to get there? The more information, the better. Thanks!Best answer: There are four ways to travel.A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more expen sive. When you go by train, buy your ticket a long time before you travel. It is usually cheaper. You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the most expensi ve. Book your ticket before you book your hotel. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside the city centre and travel in by bus or by train.The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest, but in summ er the coaches sometimes get crowded! And it takes you about twelve hou rs to get there. However, it will not cost as much as going by train.Finally, you can fly. It is the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip.Module 5 Lao She TeahouseUnit 1 I wanted to see the Beijing Opera.Listen and readBetty: Lingling and I went to Lao She Teahouse last night.Tony: How was it?Betty: It was great! You know, I wanted to see Beijing Opera, so Lingling offered to take me there.

But the actors and actress were excellent.Tony: How long did you stay?Betty: We only planned to watch for an hour, but in the end, we stayed for three hours.Tony: Did you enjoyed it?Betty: Well, it was interesting---that’s the main thing. I hope to understand more next time.Tony: Do you often go to see Beijing Opera, Lingling?Lingling: No, I don’t. I wanted to take Betty to the teahouse because it amous.Tony: Who is Lao She? Betty: No idea. Ask Lingling.Lingling: Lao She is a great writer. He’s especially famous for his play T eahouse.Unit 2 It describes the changes in Chinese society.2 Read the passage and match the heading with the paragraphs.a) Lao She Teahouseb)The Story of Teahousec)Lao She1Teahouse is one of Lao She’s most famous plays. He wrote it in 1957. The play has three acts and shows the lives of common people in Chinafrom the end of the nineteenth century to the middle of twentieth century.It tells us the story of Wang Lifa and the customers of his teahouse in Beijing.

I think we all need to help animals live in peace. Look, thereice.Lingling: It says,“Help! We want to save animals in danger, and we needyour help.” Betty: But what can we do?Lingling: It says,“Your money pays to look after the animals.”Th we can give money to help protect the animals.Betty: Maybe we can raise some money at school.

There are only about 1,600 pandas living in the wild today. Zoos and research centres are looking after about 340 pandas. Pandas do not have many babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is getting very difficult. Scientist are doing a lot of research to help pa ndas produce more babies and help baby pandas live.2Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. Each p anda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The bamboo forests are getti ng smaller, so pandas are losing their home. And there are not many pand as left.3In order to protect pandas in the wild, the government is setting up n ature parks and developing other plans. The nature parks will be big and t here will be more bamboo to feed the pandas. Pandas born in zoos may g o back to live in the nature parks.4The World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) wants to protect all animal s. And it chose the panda to be its symbol. We do not want to lose tigers, elephants, or any other animals, so the WWF is working hard to save the m all.Module7 A famous storyUnit1 Alice was sitting with her sister by the river.Tony: Hi,Lingling!Lingling: Ssh!

Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with 200,000 people. People from Parkville moved to Armwick to find jobs. And they needed places to live.However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the governmentbuilt flats outside the centre. Soon, Parkville became part of Arnwick.And Arnwick became a city with over a million people. Jo’s family lives one of those flats. It is very crowded, and rubbish is also a problem.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago, so Jo now has to go to a school in Arnwick with 2,000 pupils. It takes an hour toget there by bus. There is a lot of traffic and pollution. It is clear that Arnwick needs more schools, buses and hospitals. It needs fresh air clean water and better public services. It also needs more police to protect its people. But to do all these things, it needs more money.However, can money help solve all these problems? Do we need more big cities like this? In fact, this is just a story. In fact, this is just a story.But it describes what is happening all over the world. Could it be yourtown some day?Module 10 The weatherUnit 1 It might snowBetty: Hey, boys!Tony: Hi, Betty. Hi, Lingling, Where are you going?Betty: We’re going to the park to skate, There’s thick ice on the lake, e you coming with US?Tony: Are you joking?

Betty: That’s interesting! I’m interested to know all the Chinese traditions . Tell me more.Lingling: There are a lot. For example, in my home town, people say youmustn’t do any cleaning on the first day of the Spring Festival. And youmustn’t break anything. It’s bad luck!Daming: You must only use red paper for hongbao because red means luck. And you’d better not cut your hair during the Spring Festival month.Daming: And in the north of China, people eat lots of jiaozi!Betty: Perfect! They taste great.Tony: I like eating jiaozi too.

I went to England last year. I enjoyed m y stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.Fo r example, you must say Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first t ime. When you get to know each other better or when they ask you to, yo u can just use their first names.One day we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together. After noon tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sand wiches and a large fruit cake.In England you usually drink tea with milk.So I tried to drink tea with milk too.Fish and chips is the traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fish and chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away a nd eat it with your fingers. It is delicious!At the bus stop you must not push your way onto the bus. Y ou need to stand in a line behind the other people and wait your turn. Sometimes people are slow to get on the bus.Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smilepolitely and say, “Excuse me!

Leave the building quickly when the ground stops shaking, but do not use the lift.Keep calm, especially when you are with other people.

广州版八年级上册英语电子课本Unit 1 Look it up!Here are two articles from an encyclopaedia.Da Vinci, Leonardo Leonardo da Vinci (1452--1519) was an Italian painter, inventor, musician, engineer and scientist. Da Vinci was born in the countryside. From an early age, he showed great intelligence and artistic ability. As he grew older, he learnt to do many different things. His paintings are very famous, and one, the Mona Lisa, is perhaps the most famous painting in the world. He also had many inventions. For example, his notebooks include some interesting drawings of flying machines. (See Art)DinosaursDinosaurs lived on Earth more than 60 million years before human beings. They lived everywhere on Earth. Some dinosaurs were as small as chickens. Others were as big as ten elephants. Some could even fly.Many dinosaurs ate plants. However, some dinosaurs liked to eat meat.Dinosaurs lived on Earth for more than 150 million years. Then, suddenly, they all died out. Nobody knows why. However, we can learn about them from their fossils. (See Earth history)Unit 2 The king and the riceA long time ago, there was a king in India. The king's favourite game was chess.One day, a wise old man came to the palace and the king challenged him to a game. The king promise d the old man, “You can have any prize if you win the game.”The old man said, “If I win the game, I'd like one grain of rice for the first square of the chessboard, two for the second, four for the third, and then double the amount for each of the rest of the squares.”“Is that all?” asked the king. “Wouldn't you like gold or silver instead?”“No, just rice,” replied the old man.The king and the old man played the game for a long time. Finally, the old man won. So the king ordered his men to collect a bagof rice. He put one grain on the first square, two on the second, and so on. The king quickly realized the problem -- even with all the rice in the country, he would still not have enough rice to put on all the squares!Unit 3 Computer factsSmaller and betterIn the 1940s, the first computers were bigger than cars. Now computers are becoming smaller and better.Some computers are tiny. You may be unaware of them. There is probably one inside your TV or washing machine. You depend on computers more than you realize.What can we do with computers?We can use computers to calculate. They can calculate at a faster speed than we can and almost never give wrong answers. We can also type and draw things with them. In addition, computers can do important jobs like operating railways and flying planes and spaceships.Is a computer clever than me? The answer is “No”. Your brain can produce new ideas but computers cannot. However, one day computers may be able to do a better job than human beings. For example, they may be better than doctors at doing their job. What will happen to us if computers can do all our jobs? Will we have nothing to do?Computers may change our lives, but will they make them better?Unit 4 Great inventions Great inventions change the world. They help people live a better life. The following are three of the most important inventions in history.The wheelThe wheel is perhaps the great invention in history. After its invention, travelling became faster and more comfortable. A few thousand years ago, people started to use wheels on carriages. In the early 19th century, the first trains began to carry passengers. At the start of the 20th century, cars became popular. Without the wheel, we would not have these inventions.The telephone Alexander Graham Bell invented one of the first practical telephones in 1876. Since then, people have been able to speak each other over long distances. Today millions of people across the world own mobile phones. They allow people to keep touch with earn other anytime, anywhere.The light bulbThomas Edison developed the first practical light bulb in 1879. Before the invention of the light bulb, people had to use oil lamps, gas damps or candles to see at night. With light bulbs, people can do as many things in the evenings as they can in the daytime. Can you imagine living without them?Unit 5 Educational exchanges An exchange visit is educationaland interesting!A group of British students from Woodpark School in London are visiting Xinhua Junior High School in Beijing on an educational exchange.“I was very nervous at first,” says Sarah. “However, my host family are really friendly. I'm glad to be a guest in their home. I've learnt to use chopsticks, and they're teaching me a little Chinese!”The students spend the weekdays studying with Chinese students. At the weekend, they tour around Beijing and visit places of interest with their host families.“It's been a fantastic experience so far,” says Eric. “I've learnt abit of t'ai chi, and I really enjoy it. We've already learnt a lot about Chinese culture and history. The teachers have introduced us to Chinese painting as well. We've also tried to paint some pictures ourselves! I haven't had much success yet, but I'll keep trying.”“I've made many new friends,” says Sarah. “I plan to keep in touch with them when I return home. We'll see one another soon because they'll come over to the UK for the second part of the exchange next month. I can'twait!”Unit 6The Trojan HorseThe captain stood on the high wall of the city of Troy. “TheGreeks have gone and we've won,” he said. “They've tried to capture our city for ten years. Now they've given up and sailed away!”“But look over there,” a soldier said.“They've left a huge wo oden horse.”“Ah, yes,” the captain said, “it's too big. The Greeks didn't want to take it with them. Get some he1p and pull it into the city.”That night, in the main square of the city, all the Trojans celebrated. They sang, and danced around the horse, and made jokes about the stupid Greeks. “I haven't laughed like this since my childhood,” the captain said. After the party, theylocked all the gates of the city and then all went to sleep.By midnight, the main square was empty, except for the huge horse. Suddenly a secret door opened on the side of the wooden horse. The horse was full of Greek soldiers! They quietly climbed out of the horse, one by one.The soldiers opened the main gates. The Greek army entered the city.For ten years, the Greeks could not capture the city by fighting.In one night, however, they succeeded in capturing it through a clever trick.Unit 7 Memory CornerHenry, Pau1a and Millie write for the school newspaper. They have written the short articles below to help students improve their memory.Rosie BridgeSchool 27 MarchMemory CornerHenryA great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind. If you make the picture big, strange or silly, you will remember it better. For example, to remember the word “smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world. Remember: a picture is worth a thousand words.PaulaA good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word. For example, if you want to remember how to spell the word “because”, you can use the sentence “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”.MillieYou will forget something very quickly unless you understand it well. For example, you may have trouble remembering the list of steps in the water cycle. However, it is easier to remember these steps if you understand how the water cycle works.Unit 8Rosie BridgeSchool 18 M ayEnglish: fun for life English Week at Rosie Bridge SchoolLast week, students at Rosie Bridge School worked hard to make their English Week a big success.There was an English book fair in the library and a treasure hunt. Some students put on an English play. Other students took part in an English singing competition. There was also a speaking competition. The students had to speak on a topic in English for two minutes.We spoke to the winner, Henry. “I'm so happy that I won,” he said. “I advise people to speakslowly. If they want to be good public speakers, they'd better speak clearly and confidently.”We also spoke to several other students about English Week. One of them was Amy.“I really enjoyed English Week. It gave me a chance to learn new words. In my opinion, every school should have an English Week. It's well worth doing,” she said.On the last day of English Week, the head teacher gave a speech to the whole school. He gave students some suggestions on how to improve their English. “You should communicate in English with your friends whenever you can. You should read English books and magazines, and watch Englishtelevision programmes. Above all, you should enjoy English!” he said.。

Module 1 How to learn EnglishUnit 1 Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.Ms James: Welcome back, everyone! Today, we’re going to talk about good ways to learn English. Ready? Who has some advice?Lingling: We should always speak English in class.Ms James: Good! Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.Daming: Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooks?Ms James: That’s a good idea. And don’t forget to write down the correct answers next to the mistak es. What else?Lingling: It’s a good idea to spell and pronounce new words aloud every day.Ms James: Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the radio?Lingling: Yes, that’s good for our pronunciation too. But there are so many new word. Ms James: Y ou don’t need to understand every word. You just need to listen for key words and main ideas. Daming: That’s the same for reading. English stories are so interesting. I get to know a lot about the world through reading.Lingling: I think writing is also important. Why don’t we try to find some English pen friends? We can write to them. Ms James: Excellent! I agree with you.Unit 2 You should smile at her!Send your questions to Diana, the Language Doctor.Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three basic questions. The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I li ke watching English films and listening to English songs, but I can only understand a little. What ca n I do?”Watching films and listening to songs are great way to learn English! Watch and listen several tim es, and guess the meaning of the new words. Each time you will learn something new. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote, “Our school has a teacher fro m the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I do?”You can say, “Hello! How are you?”“Do you like China?” These are good ways to start a conversat ion. And before you begin, you should smile at her! Remember this: Do not be shy. Just try.The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote, “I write down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them?”Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on piec es of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them. Module 2 My home town and my countryUnit 1 It’s taller than many other buildings.Tony: Hey, Daming! How was your weekend?Daming: Pretty good! I went to Shenzhen.Tony: Where’s Shenzhen?Daming: Well, it’s on the coast near Hong Kong. It was a small village about thirty years ago, but to day it’s a very big city.Tony: So it’s a newer city than Hong Kong?Daming: Yes, it’s a newer city. In fact, it only became important in the 1980s.It’s getting bigger and busier. Some day it will become as busy as Hong Kong, I’m sure.Tony: What’s the population of Shenzhen?Daming: It’s over ten million, I think. That’s larger than the population of many other cities in Chin a. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. I think it’s a beautiful city.Tony: I’d like to go to there one day.Daming: Remember to visit the Diwang Tower. It’s taller than many other buildings in Shenzhen.Unit 2 Cambridge is a beautiful city in the east of England.Cambridge, London and EnglandBy Tony SmithI come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is on the River Cam and has a population of about 120,000. My home is especially famous for its university. Many famous people studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and church es to visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the Riv er Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cam bridge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bri dge.England itself is a part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and bea ches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low and beautiful lakes in the n orth, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice how gree n the countryside is.It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the ye ar, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days.Module 3 SportsUnit 1 Nothing is more exciting than playing tennis.Daming: Hey, Tony. Come and watch the football match on TV.Tony: OK. What’s the score?Daming: Spain scored a minute ago.Tony: Wow! That’s fast!Daming: That’s right. Last week the match on TV was so boring because no one scored at all. So thi s week’s match is already more exciting.Betty: What’s the matter with you, Tony? You look tired.Tony: I’m really tired after last night’s tennis match. And I hurt my knee.Daming: That’s too bad! Sit down and watch the match. It’s safer than playing tennis.Betty: Yes, watching is not sure about that. Nothing is more relaxing too!Tony: Well, I’m not sure about that. Nothing is more enjoyable than playing tennis.Betty: But you enjoyed watching the Olympics on TV, right?Tony: Yes, but that’s because it was cheaper than buying tickets for all the games.Daming: And staying at home was easier than going to the stadium. Oh, look at that!Tony: Oh, he missed! Oh, bad luck!Daming: Never mind. There’s still plenty of time for them to score.Unit2 This year we practice more carefully.Training hardBy Li Daming It is Saturday tomorrow, but I am going to school. I am not going for lessons, but to play football. I am in our school team and we are going to play against another sch ool next week. The practice starts at 10 am. We all arrive as early as we can so that w e have time to warm up. We are training harder than usual because the other team bea t us last year. This year we want to do better.It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are short and the weather is cold too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be late for after-school practic e.Our coach is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year we w ere sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team in the fi nal match. What a pity! This year we practise more carefully. That means we have a b etter chance of winning.The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to play well so that we have mo re fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our fans around. They cheer us on lou dly and we feel more confident to win the game.Module 4 Planes, ships, and trainsUnit1 He lives the farthest from schoolBetty: I was late for school today.Mum: Why? What happened?Betty: I took the bus. There was a road accident, and the traffic was very heavy. But n obody was late, except me. Maybe I should go to school by taxi.Mum: It’s the most comfortable way, but it’s also the most expensive.Betty: Then what about going by bike?Mum: That’s a good choice, but it’s a bit dangerous. There’s so much traffic. Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, and it’s quite safe. Don’t worry. I’ll be c arefull.Mum: How does Tony go to school?Betty: He lives the farthest from school, so he takes the underground.Mum: And what about Lingling?Betty: Her home is the closest to school, so she walks.Mum: How about Daming?Betty: He goes by bus too, the same as me. But it’s so crowded! And the traffic is hea vy.Mum: All right. You can ride your bike to school, but remember to be careful all the ti me.Unit2 What is the best way to travel?Question: What is the best way to travel from London to Amsterdam.I am planning to travel from London to Amsterdam. How long does the journey ta ke and what is the best way to travel? Could you please tell me about the trains or shi ps to get there? The more information, the better. Thanks!Best answer: There are four ways to travel.A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more expensive. When you go by train, buy your ticket a long time before you travel. It is usually cheaper.You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the most expensive. Book your ticket before you book your hot el. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside the city c entre and travel in by bus or by train.The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest, but in summer the coach es sometimes get crowded! And it takes you about twelve hours to get there. However , it will not cost as much as going by train.Finally, you can fly. It is the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip.Module 5 Lao She TeahouseUnit 1 I wanted to see the Beijing Opera.Listen and readBetty: Lingling and I went to Lao She Teahouse last night.Tony: How was it?Betty: It was great! You know, I wanted to see Beijing Opera, so Lingling offered to t ake me there. We drank tea and watched an opera.Tony: Did you understand the opera?Betty: No, it was difficult to understand the words. But the actors and actress were ex cellent.Tony: How long did you stay?Betty: We only planned to watch for an hour, but in the end, we stayed for three hour s.Tony: Did you enjoyed it?Betty: Well, it was interesting---that’s the main thing. I hope to understand more next time.Tony: Do you often go to see Beijing Opera, Lingling?Lingling: No, I don’t. I wanted to take Betty to the teahouse because it’s famous. Tony: Who is Lao She? Betty: No idea. Ask Lingling.Lingling: Lao She is a great writer. He’s especially famous for his play Teahouse.Unit 2 It describes the changes in Chinese society.2 Read the passage and match the heading with the paragraphs.a) Lao She Teahouseb)The Story of Teahousec)Lao She1Teahouse is one of Lao She’s most famous plays. He wrote it in 1957. The play has three acts and shows the lives of common people in China from the end of the nin eteenth century to the middle of twentieth century. It tells us the story of Wang Lifa a nd the customers of his teahouse in Beijing. It describes the changes in Chinese societ y over fifty years around the beginning of the twentieth century.2Lao She was born in Beijing in 1899. His mother sent him to a teacher’s school i n 1913. After finishing school in 1918, he became a head teacher of a primary school. In 1924 Lao She left home and went to England. He taught Chinese at a college in L ondon and returned to China five years later. He wrote many plays, novels and short s tories about people’s lives, and was named “the People’s Artist”. Lao She is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the twentieth century.3At Lao She Teahouse today, customers can drink tea and eat delicious Beijing fo od. If you like the Beijing Opera, traditional music or magic shows, you can enjoy the m at the teahouse. Lao She Teahouse gives a warm welcome to everyone from all ove r the world.Module 6 Animals in dangerUnit 1 It allows people to get closer to them.Listen and read(Lingling and Betty are leaving the zoo)Lingling: Did you like the zoo?Betty: Yes! I saw the pandas at last! But I am more interested to see the pandas in the Wolong Panda Reserve, because it allows people to get closer to them.Lingling: It’s sad to think of the pandas and other animals in danger.Betty: We need to protect them better.Lingling: Yes, Many wild animals don’t have a safe place to live, because villages and farms are growing bigger and are taking away their land and forests.Betty: Also, often there isn’t enough clean water, because we’ve made it dirty. I think we all need to help animals live in peace. Look, there’s a notice.Lingling: It says,“Help! We want to save animals in danger, and we need your help.”Betty: But what can we do?Lingling: It says,“Your money pays to look after the animals.”That means we can giv e money to help protect the animals.Betty: Maybe we can raise some money at school. Let’s find out what else we can do to save as many animals as possible.Unit 2 The WWF is working hard to save them all.2 Read the passage and match the heading with the paragraphs.a)Nature parks for pandasb) WWF And animals in dangerc) The panda’s homed) An animal in danger1Pandas are in danger. There are only about 1,600 pandas living in the wild today. Zoos and research centres are looking after about 340 pandas. Pandas do not have m any babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is getting very difficult. Scientist are doing a lot of research to help pandas produce more babies and help baby pandas live.2Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. Each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pandas are losing their home. And there are not many pandas left.3In order to protect pandas in the wild, the government is setting up nature parks and developing other plans. The nature parks will be big and there will be more bamb oo to feed the pandas. Pandas born in zoos may go back to live in the nature parks.4The World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) wants to protect all animals. And it cho se the panda to be its symbol. We do not want to lose tigers, elephants, or any other a nimals, so the WWF is working hard to save them all.Module7 A famous storyUnit1 Alice was sitting with her sister by the river.Tony: Hi,Lingling!Lingling: Ssh! I’m reading.Tony: Sorry! What’s the book about?Lingling: It’s about a girl called Alice. One day, Alice was sitting with her sister by the river and she saw a white rabbit with a watch.

Once or twice she looked into her sister’a book. “And what is a book for,” thought Alice,”without pictures or conversations?” Suddenly a white rab bit with pink eyes ran by.There was nothing strange about that. She heard the rabbit say, “O h dear! Oh dea r! I’ll be late!” and she did not think it was strange. Then the rabbit took a watch out o f its pocket and looked at it. A rabbit with a pocket and a watch. Alice got up and ran across the field after it. She saw it go down a large rabbit hole in the ground.Then Alice went down after it, but never thought about how she was going to ge t out again. She found that she was falling down a very, very deep hole. It was too dar k for her to see anything. She was falling for a long time. While she was falling, she was thinking about her cat, Dinah. Suddenly she landed on some dry leaves…Module 8Unit1 while the lights were changing to red ,a car suddenly appearedBetty: Good morning, Ms James! You look pale.

Pay atte ntion, stop at the red lights and…..what else?Betty: Don’t ride too fastDaming : Don’t ride side by side with your friends.All: Don’t listen to music!Unite 2One day, when Henry was working in a restaurant, a snake suddenly appeared and bit his hand. A few days earlier, the snake arrived from Asia in a box of bananas. It c limbed out and hid somewhere.“I was trying to pick it up when it bit me again. I threw it across the kitchen, an d it landed on a table.’’While the snake was lying on the table, Henry quickly picked up his mobile phon e and took a photo with it. Then the snake hid behind the fridge When Henry was try ing to find the snake， his hand began to hurt badly. He hurried to hospital. As the do ctors were checking him, the pain got worse . But they could not help him because t hey did not know what kind of snake bit him.As he was lying there in great pain, Henry suddenly remembered the photo. The doctors sent the photo to a zoo. As soon as they learnt what kind of snake bit him, th ey gave Henry the right medicine and he left hospital the next day.“So if a snake bites you, take out your mobile phone or camera.

I’ll write that down too!Betty: But in the future, Chinas population wont grow so fast, because families are ge tting smaller.Lingling: How do you know all this?Betty: I wrote my report yesterday!Tony: Great, thanks! Now I can write my report!Unit 2Jo is fifteen and lives in Parkville.When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville, it was a quiet village. They had a small house. Close to fields md hills. Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with 200,00 0 people. People from Parkville moved to Armwick to find jobs. And they needed p laces to live.However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the government built flats o utside the centre. Soon, Parkville became part of Arnwick.And Arnwick became a ci ty with over a million people. Jo’s family lives in one of those flats. It is very crowde d, and rubbish is also a problem.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago, so Jo now has to g o to a school in Arnwick with 2,000 pupils. It takes an hour to get there by bus. There is a lot of traffic and pollution. It is clear that Arnwick needs more schools, buses and hospitals. It needs fresh air clean water and better public services. It also needs mor e police to protect its people. But to do all these things, it needs more money. However, can money help solve all these problems? Do we need more big cities l ike this? In fact, this is just a story.

I really wanted one.Betty: We’re happy you like it.Tony: I noticed another difference. In China, you accept a gift with both hands. But in the West, we usually don’t pay much attention to that.Betty: That’s interesting! I’m interested to know all the Chinese traditions. Tell me m ore.Lingling: There are a lot. For example, in my home town, people say you mustn’t do any cleaning on the first day of the Spring Festival. And you mustn’t break anything. It’s bad luck!Daming: You must only use red paper for hongbao because red means luck. And you’d better not cut your hair during the Spring Festival month.Daming: And in the north of China, people eat lots of jiaozi!Betty: Perfect! They taste great.Tony: I like eating jiaozi too. Anyway, the Spring Festival is still over a month away. Let’s celebrate Lingling’s birthday first!Unit 2 In England you usually drink tea with milk.My experiences in England. I went to England last year. I enjoyed my stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.For example, you must sayMr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time. When you get to know each ot her better or when they ask you to, you can just use their first names.One day we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together. Afternoon tea is n ot just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit c ake.In England you usually drink tea with milk.So I tried to drink tea with milk too. Fish and chips is the traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fi sh and chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your finge rs. It is delicious!At the bus stop you must not push your way onto the bus. You need to stand in a line behind the other people and wait your turn. Sometimes people are slow to get o n the bus.Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smile politely and say, “Excuse me! Are you waiting for this bus?” He was really polite.Module 12 HelpUnit1 What should we do before help arrives?Ms James: This mornings class is about first aid, or giving someone basic medical help. Let’s imagine an accident. A boy is lying at the bottom of the stairs. He isn’t moving or making a sound. He is in pain. What can we do to help him?Betty: First of all, find out what’s wrong with him.Ms James: How do we do that?Betty: Ask him.Ms James: Ok. But he could have trouble hearing you or speaking to you.Lingling: Shout for help? Call 120?Ms James: Good idea, but what should we do before help arrives?Tony: Make him comfortable.Ms James: And how can we do that?Tony: Lift him up and sit him on a chair?Ms James: No, that could be harmful! You could drop him and hurt him even more. B etty, you must know! You did some basic medical training.Betty: Make sure he’s warm. Cover him with a coat.Ms James: That’s such good advice that you could be a doctor, Betty!Unit 2 Stay away from windows and heavy furniture.What to do in an earthquakeEarthquakes always happen suddenly, so it is difficult to warn people about them. Usually people have little or no idea about what to do during an earthquake, so here is some advice. Inside Do not jump out of high buildings. Hide under a table. Stay awa y from windows and heavy furniture. Keep clear of fires. Leave the building quickly when the ground stops shaking, but do not use the lift.Keep calm, especially when yo u are with other people. Be brave and be helpful.Outside Move away from buildings, because parts of a building may fall on you. Do not stand near street lights or under power lines. Stay away from bridges and tree s. If you are in a bus or car, stay in it.In the mountains, be careful of falling rocks.On a beach, run away from the sea and move quickly to higher ground.In short, follow what you learnt in school. You can be safe and you can also help save others。

Module 1 How to learn EnglishUnit 1 Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.Ms James: Welcome back, everyone! Today, we’re going to talk about good ways to learn English. R eady Who has some adviceLingling: We should always speak English in class.Ms James: Good! Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.Daming: Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooksMs James: That’s a good idea. And don’t forget to write down the correct answers next to the mist akes. What elseLingling: It’s a good idea to spell and pronounce new words aloud every day.*Ms James: Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the radioLingling: Yes, that’s good for our pronunciation too. But there are so many new word. Ms James: Yo u don’t need to understand every word. You just need to listen for key words and main ideas. Daming: That’s the same for reading. English stories are so interesting. I get to know a lot about the world through reading.Lingling: I think writing is also important. Why don’t we try to find some English pen friends We ca n write to them. Ms James: Excellent! I agree with you.Unit 2 You should smile at her!Send your questions to Diana, the Language Doctor.Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three basic questions .:The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I lik e watching English films and listening to English songs, but I can only understand a little. What can I do”Watching films and listening to songs are great way to learn English! Watch and listen several tim es, and guess the meaning of the new words. Each time you will learn something new. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote, “Our school has a teacher fro m the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I do”You can say, “Hello! How are you”“Do you like China” These are good ways to start a conversation. And before you begin, you should smile at her! Remember this: Do not be shy. Just try.The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote, “I write down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them”Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on piec es of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them .|Module 2 My home town and my countryUnit 1 It’s taller than many other buildings.Tony: Hey, Daming! How was your weekendDaming: Pretty good! I went to Shenzhen.Tony: Where’s ShenzhenDaming: Well, it’s on the coast near Hong Kong. It was a small village about thirty years ago, but to day it’s a very big city.Tony: So it’s a newer city than Hong KongDaming: Yes, it’s a newer city. In fact, it only became important in the ’s getting bigger and busier. S ome day it will become as busy as Hong Kong, I’m sure.（Tony: What’s the population of ShenzhenDaming: It’s over ten million, I think. That’s larger than the population of many other cities in China . Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. I think it’s a beautiful city.Tony: I’d like to go to there one day.Daming: Remember to visit the Diwang Tower. It’s taller than many other buildings in Shenzhen.Unit 2 Cambridge is a beautiful city in the east of England.；Cambridge, London and EnglandBy Tony SmithI come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is on the River Cam and has a population of about 120,000. My home is especially famous for its university. Many famous people studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and churche s to visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the Rive r Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cam bridge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridg e.England itself is a part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and bea ches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low and beautiful lakes in the n orth, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice how gree n the countryside is.It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the ye ar, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days.。
