I think natural wonders are more interesting than man-made ones.And I think the Giant's Causeway is the most fantastic naturalwonder.Lingling: Hm, I’ve never seen it, so I'm not sure I agree with you. Why do you like it, TonyTony: Well, I visited the Giant's Causeway two years ago. It's huge.There're about 40,000 rocks, most of them with six sides. Itgoes for several hundred metres on the eastern coast of NorthernIrelandLingling: That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic. They're about l,700 metres wide and 100metres high. You can hear the loud noise a few kilometres away. Betty: Wow, that's huge! But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones. Look at the Terracotta Army. It'smore than years old.Daming: I agree with you, Betty. And I think the Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. It's about 2,300 metres long, 185 metres high and15 metres wide at the top. It produces electricity for millionsof people in China.Betty: Now, who'd like to call firstUnit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big.A great wonder of the natural worldWhen I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east -- the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. "Am I going the right way" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes," Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it. Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world - the Grand Canyon.I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of eachother at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself. "Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world" I certainly know the answer. What do you thinkModule 2 Public HolidaysUnit 1 My family always go somewhere interesting as soon as the holidaybegins.Tony: The First of October is China's National Day, isn 't it, LinglingLingling: Yes. The People's Republic of China was founded on 1st October 1949. People have celebrated the National Day sincethen. There are flowers and national flags everywhere, and wehave a three-day holiday.Tony: Do you have any plans for the holiday this yearLingling: Yes. My parents and I are going to visit some friends in Shandong Province and will stay there until the end of theholiday. While we're staying with our friends, we're going tospend one day in Qingdao. When is your national day, Betty' Betty : Our national day is called Independence Day. It's on 4th July.We've celebrated it since 1777. It's a public holiday, but weonly have one day off. On that day, there are all kinds ofholiday activities. It's the start of the vacation season andmost people take a vacation sometime in July or August. Lingling: And is there anything special on that dayBetty: Well, you can see American flags everywhere. We usually have a picnic somewhere nice. Kids have great fun. We also watch bandsplay music in public parks.Daming: Do you have a national day in the UK, TonyTony: No, we don't --- we celebrate Christmas with a two-day holiday.And my family always go somewhere interesting as soon as theholiday begins.Unit 2 We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers arrivedin America.ThanksgivingThanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, theirfirst winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The followingyear they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food.We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food .We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. We usually eat too much, but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes.The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the festival, there are plenty ofother things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy's store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is alsoimportant at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.Module 3 HeroesUnit 1 She trained hard, so she became a great player laterMs li: Daming, who is your hero Who have you chosen to tell us about Daming: Deng Yaping! She's my hero because she's one of the best table tennis players in the world and I love playing table tennis.Ms Li: Tell us about her.Daming: Well, she started playing table tennis when she was five. She trained hard, so she became a great player later.Ms Li: And what competitions has she wonDaming: She's won many world competitions, including four gold medals in the Olympics. She stopped playing when she was twenty- four.Ms Li: What did she do after thatDarning: She began to study at Tsinghua University in Beijing and then attended university abroad. Her English wasn't good enough whenshe began. Once again she worked hard, and seven years later, shecompleted her doctor's degree at Cambridge University. Whatevershe does, she never gives up!Ms Li: That's amazing!Daming: Yes. Deng says that she isn't cleverer than anyone else, but she has a very strong will.Ms Li: I see. Well. I think she's a good student as well as a good player.Daming: Yes, and she helped make the Beijing Olympics a victory for world sport. She's simply the best!Ms Li: She's a true hero.Unit 2 There were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his ownMy hero - Dr Norman BethuneBy Wang LinglingNorman Bethune is one of the most famous heroes in China. He was a Canadian doctor. He came to China to help the Chinese people and died for them.Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916 and went to Spain in 1936 to treat the wounded soldiers during the war there. He soon realised that many people were dying because they did not get to hospital quickly enough. Dr Bethune developed new ways of taking care of the sick. He invented special medical tools to use outside hospitals and close to the fighting areas so that doctors could treat the wounded more quickly. His inventions saved many lives.In 1938, Dr Bethune came to China and helped treat the wounded during the Anti- Japanese War. At that time, there were few doctors, so hehad to work very hard on his own. His experience of treating people in Spain was useful in China. He developed training courses for local doctors and nurses, and wrote books so that they could learn about how he treated the sick.Dr Bethune often worked very hard without resting or taking care of himself. Once, he even worked for sixty-nine hours without stopping and managed to save over a hundred lives. One day in 1939, he cut his finger during an operation, but he continued his work without treating it. In the end, he died of his wound.Dr Bethune's work for the Chinese people made him a hero in China. There are many books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both China and Canada today.Module 4 Home aloneUnit 1 I can look after myself, although it won’t be easy for meMum: Now, what's our train numberDad: T27 to Lhasa. It's leaving from Platform 2.Mum: The meeting in Lhasa is very important for us, but I'm sorry you can't come with us, Betty.Betty: So am I, but I can't miss two weeks of school.Mum: Will you remember everything I've told you Be especially careful with the door. Shut it when you're in and lock it when you goout.Betty: Yes. Mum. l can look after myself, although it won't be easy for me.Mum: Well, make sure you eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. And I've left lots of your favourite biscuits.Betty: Don't worry. I can cook simple meals.Dad : There won't be anybody to wake you up in the morning.Betty: I'll be fine. My clock rings so loudly that it will certainly wake me up.Mum: I'm sure I've forgotten something, but I don't know what it is!(Announcement: We advise all passengers for Train T27 to Lhasa to go immediately to Platform 2. Your train is about to leave.) Betty: That's your train! Goodbye Mum, goodbye Dad.Mum: I know! I haven’t given you our address in Lhasa!Betty': Send me a text message. Have a good trip!Mum: Bye, my dear!Betty: Bye! See you in a couple of weeks!Unit 2 I became so bored with their orders that I wished they wouldleave me alone.My "perfect holiday"As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did everything for me. Actually, they managed every minute of my life. Although they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. "Zheng Chenyu, do your homework!" "Practise the piano!" "Turn off the TV!" I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Now was my chance! I could have some fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked the games so much that I played until mid-night.The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without breakfast, but I was still late. The teacher asked me for my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball with my classmates! I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long.When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped my father's cup when I was cooking! I found myself so bad at simple cooking tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wanted Mum and Dad to come home soon. Mum cooked such delicious food, and made sure I never forgot my homework. Dad always helped me with any difficult questions, and told funny jokes when I was unhappy. Then I realised being home alone was not always perfect.When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my home alone story and we all laughed.Module 5 MuseumsUnit 1 Don’t cross that rope!(Betty, Lingling and Daming are on the second floor of a museum.) Betty: What a wonderful museum!Lingling: It's great, isn't it Let's go to the Animal Room upstairs. I need some information for my project.Betty: Me too. Let's go. Wait, where's DamingLingling: There he is. What's he doing over thereDaming : Hey, Betty! Lingling! Come and see the monkey exhibition! Guard: No shouting, please! It's against the rules.Betty: Oh, no! Daming is in trouble again.Daming: Look at the monkey's tail! I've got to get in here…Gard: Stop! Don't cross that rope! Can't you see the sign, kid "No entry."Daming: Oh. Why notGuard: Because it's closed.Lingling: Yes, Daming. Read the sign!Daming : Oh, right. That's no good! Well, I'll just take a photo... Guard: Sorry. No photos. SeeDaming: There certainly are a lot of rules in this museum. No wonder the place is empty!Betty: Daming! Don't be rude!Lingling: Oh, no!Betty: What's the matter, LinglingLingling: My mobile phone! I t’s missing! Oh, no! What am I going to do Guard: Don't worry, Miss. Go downstairs to the lost and found office. They might have it.Lingling: That phone is new! I have to find it, or Mum will punish me! Betty: I'm sure it will be all right, Lingling. Let's go and see. Daming： Yes, let's go downstairs.Unit 2 If you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science MuseumThe Science Museum in LondonBy Tony SmithWelcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different... It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you.I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communications and the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you sec inside your body.The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again.On the fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor! The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is my favourite museum in the whole world!Module 6 ProblemsUnit 1. If I start after dinner, I’ll finish it before I go to bed. Dad: Tony, you're playing the guitar again. Have you done your homework'Tony: No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed. Anyway, you wanted me to learn aninstrument.Dad: I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home from school. If you start now, you'll finish it before dinner.Tony: Yes, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do volunteer work.Dad: So you're not going to do your home work nowTony: No, it isn’t necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.Dad: That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much.Tony: Why not I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there.Dad: No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you won't have time to study.Tony: You mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the worldDad: That's not the point. You should consider what the most important thing is. I don't want you to fail your exams.Tony: But.....Dad: You can't do anything before you finish your homework. I'm sorry, but that's my last word.Unit 2 If you tell him the truth now, you will show that you are honest. Do you have a problem Write to Diana at New Standard Magazine and ask for her advice.Dear Diana,Last week, my friend David came round with a new computer game and asked to play it on my dad’s computer. I was worried, because I should ask my dad before I use his computer. He uses it for his work, and I can only use it for my homework. The reason is that he thinks it will go wrong if I play games on it.Well, while my dad was out, we decided to try out David's game. We copied it to the computer, and after we finished playing, we took it off the computer. However, when I started the computer again to check if everything was OK, some of my dad's documents were missing. Then, when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. He could no longer find the documents anywhere! They were very important ones.I did not tell him about the computer game because I did not want him to be angry with me. Now I feel terrible. I am not sure whether a computer engineer can get the documents back. Should I tell him about the computer gameShould I pay to repair itYours,SteveDear Steve.Oh, dear! You have made two mistakes. It is bad enough that you used your dad's computer to play games when he told you not to. And it is even worse that you did not tell him about it. If you tell him the truth now, he will be angry with you, but at least you will show that you are honest.You should apologise to your father. You should also pay the bill to repair the computer. If you offer to give up your pocket money, your father will realise that you are very sorry.Remember, next time, play football with David and not computer games!Best wishes.DianaModule 7 Great booksUnit 1 We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideasMr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What’s upBetty: I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.Mr Jackson: So, who are your great writersBetty: Well, maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: Really I accept that they’re great because their works are still read by many people today. But I think I’d describeConfucius more as a teacher and thinker than a writer. He wasa very wise man. What do you have to do for the discussion Betty: Well, each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion.Mr Jackson: I see. We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas, and Shakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to us today.People have always read, and will always read great books. Bythe way, what do you think of Mark Twain, the great Americanwriter in the nineteenth centuryBetty: He was important, but I suppose he isn’t as well-known as Confucius or Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular, and one of his books is my favourite, The Adventure of Tom Sawyer.Betty: Great! Why don’t you join in the discussion and tell us about itUnit 2 It is still read and lovedA book review of The Adventure of Tom SawyerBy Betty KingOne of my favourite great books is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer, byMark Twain. The story is set in the town of St Petersburg, Missouri, the US, in the nineteenth century. It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.Tom, the hero of the book, lives with his aunt Polly. He is a lively and clever boy. He does not like people telling him what to do, so he always gets into trouble. He and his best friend, Huck Finn, run away toan island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him. Later, Tom escapes from a cave with another friend, Becky. He also finds Injun Joe’streasure box and takes it away.My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Huck start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River. At first, they are happy. But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead, they feel very sorry, so they come back home. They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours coming to their funeral in the church. Then, Tom and Huck suddenly appear. Everyone is surprised to see them at first, but very pleased to find that they are alive.The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It is more than an adventure story. Mark Twain wrote it in 1876. It describes people’s livesin the southern states of America at that time. It tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions. It is written in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and loved by people all over the world, and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.Module 8 Sports lifeUnit 1 Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last yearLingling: Hi, Tony, you look tired.Tony: Yes, I’m training for the big match next week.Betty: Who are you playing againstTony: HAS.Lingling: What does HAS stand forTony: Haidian All Stars.Betty: Oh, yes. It’ll be a difficult match. Didn’t they beat you last timeTony: Yes, they did. But…Lingling: What was the scoreBetty: If my memory is correct, HAS 98 points to BIG 52.Tony: But Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last time. That was a bad decision. We can’t play well without him.Lingling: That’s no excuse!Tony: But Daming is back now. There’s no difference between the two teams this season.Betty: When is the matchTony: It’s next Saturday at noon, but if you want good seats, you should come by 11:30. Are you comingBetty: I’m not sure. Do you think they’ll win, LinglingLingling: No way! How many matches have you played against HAS this year Tony: Well, about three.Betty: And how many have HAS wonTony: Er… most of them.Betty: Wrong! All of them! Face the truth, Tony. You’ve got no chance! Tony: I don’t agree. That’s not fair! (Tony leaves angrily.) Lingling: Remember to throw the ball, not knick it, Tony!Betty: He’s so mad at us that he’ll try harder to win, just to show we’re wrong!Lingling: Nice work, Betty! I do hope they win this time. We’ll be there to cheer for them.Unit 2 He was invited to competitions around the world.Liu Xiang---trained to win!For Liu Xiang, life as a sports hero began in 2004. First, he was invited to competitions around the world. Then, he was chosen for the Chinese team at the Athens Olympic Games and won a gold medal.Liu Xiang was not a successful sportsman at first. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July 1983, and started training when he was very young.In Grade 4, he went to the Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai.Liu was encouraged at first to train for the high jump.In 1998, Liu Xiang’s ability in hurdling was noticed by Sun Haiping, who later became his coach. In 2001, a special programme was set up tohelp young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu Xiang was among them. His races were recorded, and he was compared with the world’s best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change his training methods for Liu Xiang.In May 2001, Liu Xiang won his first international 110m hurdles racein Japan. In 2004, he won the first Olympic gold medal for China in the110m hurdles race, and at the same time broke the Olympic Games record. It was also the first time an Olympic gold medal for hurdling was hung round the neck of a sportsperson from an Asian country.Liu Xiang trained very hard. In fact, he trained so hard that he hurt his foot. From 2008 on, he suffered a lot from his foot problem, but hedid not give up. Though he missed some competitions, he still returned to first place in the world 110m hurdles race in 2012.It is a pity that his foot problem stopped him from completing the2012 London Olympic Games. But he is still a symbol of courage and success, and we continue to take great pride in him.Module 9 Great inventionsUnit 1 Will computers be used more than books in the futureTony: Dad, can I borrow your cameraDad: WhyTony: I’d like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week. They’ll be put up on the school website. And they can be seen on the Internet by other classes, even people living in othercountries.Dad: Sounds great! When I was at school, we waited for weeks to hear from our pen friends abroad. But today, we can send and receive photosand mails on the Internet, and it’s really fast.Tony: Yes, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives. We even use online textbooks in our class. I wonder… Will computers beused more than books in the futureDad: Perhaps. In the past, we mainly got information from paper books.Some are huge ones with thousands of pages. Today, with the invention of the computer and the electronic technology, it’s easy to getinformation on the Internet. The Internet is more powerful than books. Tony: Anyway, about the camera…Dad: Oh, yes. Here it is. I haven’t used it since your mum’s birthday.And the memory may be full.Tony: OK. That can be fixed. I’ve got an empty memory card. Where are the instructionsDad: In the camera bag. It’s a gift from your mum for my birthday, so you must promise that you’ll take good care of it. if you have tolend it to anyone, tell them to use it properly.Tony: Promise!Unit 2 Will books be replaced by the Internet Every morning, my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day, I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. And very night, I look at the photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printingPaper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make a book. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result, there were not many books, and they were expensive. So, few people had the chance to learn to read.Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply. A trade in books resulted, and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spread faster than ever before. In a way, we cancompare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast, and may become more powerful than printing. A much larger amount of information can be stored on the Internet than in books. Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find in printed forms. And the machines we use to read it are now small and light, often smaller and lighter than a single book.Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future Will books be replaced by the Internet Le t’s wait and see.Module 10 AustraliaUnit 1 I have some photos that I took in Australia last year Tony: Dad, I need your help. My teacher asked us to choose a country we want to visit, imagine we were there, and write a letter to ourparents back home. I’ve chosen Australia. How can I do itDad: Don’t worry. I have some photos that I took in Australia last year.They may help you. Here we go. This is a rock called Ayers Rock, in central Australia. According to the local people, it’s a special and magical place.Tony: Oh, it looks huge. What’s its height。

外研社(2014 新版)九年级英语上册课文( Module 1 —12) Module1 Wonders of the worldUnit 1 It' s more than 2,000 years old.Tony: Let's call Wonders of the World and join in the discussion. I think natural wonders aremore interesting than man-made ones. And I think the Giant's Causeway is the most fantastic natural wonder.Lingling: Hm, I've never seen it, so I'm not sure I agree with you. Why do you like it, Tony?Tony: Well, I visited the Giant's Causeway two years ago. It's huge. There're about 40,000rocks, most of them with six sides. It goes for several hundred metres on the eastern coast of Northern IrelandLingling: That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic.They're about l,700 metres wide and 100 metres high. You can hear the loud noise a few kilometres away.Betty: Wow, that's huge! But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones. Look at the Terracotta Army. It's more than 2.000 years old. Daming: I agree with you, Betty. And I think the Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. It's about2,300 metres long, 185 metres high and 15 metres wide at the top. It produces electricity for millions of people in China.Betty: Now, who'd like to call first?Unit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big.A great wonder of the natural worldWhen I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east-- the sky wasbecoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There wasnothing to see, but I knew it was there.After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. Am I going the right way?I asked.效欠敮？桷牥？?慷？潧湩?尠Yes,” he replied, “ you'll get there in five minu tes, Finally, I came tosome rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it.Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me andshone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world - the Grand Canyon.I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself. Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world? I certainly know the answer.

Unit 2 We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers arrived in America.ThanksgivingThanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food.We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food .Welay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival.We usually eat too much, but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes.The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy's store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.Module 3 HeroesUnit 1 She trained hard, so she became a great player later Ms li: Daming, who is your hero?

He was a Canadian doctor. He came to China to help the Chinese people and died for them.Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916 and went to Spain in 1936 totreat the wounded soldiers during the war there. He soon realised that many people were dyingbecause they did not get to hospital quickly enough. Dr Bethune developed new ways of taking careof the sick. He invented special medical tools to use outside hospitals and close to the fighting areasso that doctors could treat the wounded more quickly. His inventions saved many lives.In 1938, Dr Bethune came to China and helped treat the wounded during the Anti- JapaneseWar. At that time, there were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own. His experienceof treating people in Spain was useful in China. He developed training courses for local doctors andnurses, and wrote books so that they could learn about how he treated the sick. Dr Bethune often worked very hard without resting or taking care of himself. Once, he evenworked for sixty -nine hours without stopping and managed to save over a hundred lives. One day in1939, he cut his finger during an operation, but he continued his work without treating it. In the end, he died of his wound.Dr Bethune's work for the Chinese people made him a hero in China. There are many books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both China and Canada today.

But my parents did everything for me.Actually, they managed every minute of my life. Although they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. Zheng Chenyu, do your homework! Practise the piano! Turn off the TV! I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Now was my chance! I could have some fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked the games so much that I played until mid-night.The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without breakfast, but I was still late.The teacher asked me for my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball with my classmates! I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long.When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped myfather's cup whenI was cooking! I found myself so bad at simple cooking tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wantedMum and Dad to come home soon. Mum cooked such delicious food, and made sure I never forgotI and told funny jokes when questions, any difficult helped me with Dad always my homework.was unhappy. Then I realised being home alone was not always perfect.When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my home alone story and we all laughed.Module 5 MuseumsUnit 1 Don't cross that rope!(Betty, Lingling and Daming are on the second floor of a museum.)Betty: What a wonderful museum!Lingling: It's great, isn't it? Let's go to the Animal Room upstairs. I need some information for my project.Betty: Me too. Let's go. Wait, where's Daming?Lingling: There he is. What's he doing over there?Daming : Hey, Betty! Lingling! Come and see the monkey exhibition!Guard: No shouting, please! It's against the rules.Betty: Oh, no! Daming is in trouble again.Daming: Look at the mon key's tail!

Read the sign!Daming : Oh, right. That's no good! Well, I'll just take a photo...Guard: Sorry. No photos. See?Daming: There certainly are a lot of rules in this museum. No wonder the place is empty!Betty: Daming! Don't be rude!Lingling: Oh, no!Betty: What's the matter, Lingling?Lingling: My mobile phone! It's missing! Oh, no!

I have to find it, or Mum will punish me!Betty: I'm sure it will be all right, Lingling. Let's go and see.Yes, let's go downstairs.：DamingUnit 2 If you ever go to London, make sure you visit theScience MuseumThe Science Museum in LondonBy Tony SmithWelcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there is no shouting andno running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different... It is noisy!People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. Ifyou want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you. I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communicationsand the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X -rays let you sec inside your body.The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again.On the fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in thepast. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor!The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is my favourite museum in the whole world!Module 6 Problems Unit 1. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed. Tony, you're playing the guitar again. Have you done your homework'?Dad:Tony: No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed.Anyway, you wanted me to learn an instrument.Dad: I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home from school. If you start now, you'll finish it before dinner.Tony: Yes, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do volunteer work.Dad: So you're not going to do your home work now? Tony: No, it isn't necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.Dad: That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much. Tony: Why not? I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there.Dad: No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, youwon't have time to study.Tony: You mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the world?Dad: That's not the point. You should consider what the most important thing is. I don't want you to fail your exams.Tony: But ........Dad: You can't do anything before you finish your homework. I'm sorry, but that's my last word.Unit 2 If you tell him the truth now, you will show that you are honest.Do you have a problem? Write to Diana atNew Standard Magazine and ask forher advice.Dear Diana,Last week, my friend David came round with a new computer game and asked to play it on mydad's computer. I was worried, because I should ask my dad before I use his computer. He uses itfor his work, and I can only use it for my homework. The reason is that he thinks it will go wrong if I play games on it.Well, while my dad was out, we decided to try out David's game. We copied it to the computer, and after we finished playing, we took it off the computer. However, when I started the computer again to check if everything was OK, some of my dad's documents were missing. Then, when my dad used the computer last night, he wasreally angry. He could no longer find the documents anywhere! They were very important ones.I did not tell him about the computer game because I did not want him to be angry with me.Now I feel terrible. I am not sure whether a computer engineer can get the documents back. ShouldI tell him about the computer game?Should I pay to repair it?Yours,Steve Dear Steve.Oh, dear! You have made two mistakes. It is bad enough that you used your dad's computerto play games when he told you not to. And it is even worse that you did not tell him about it. If you tell him the truth now, he will be angry with you, but at least you will show that you are honest.You should apologise to your father. You should also pay the bill to repair the computer. If you offer to give up your pocket money, your father will realise that you are very sorry.Remember, next time, play football with David and not computer games! Best wishes.DianaModule 7 Great booksUnit 1 We're still influenced by Confucius's ideasMr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What's up?Betty: I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.Mr Jackson: So, who are your great writers?Betty: Well, maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: Really? I accept that they're great because their works are still read by many peopletoday. But I think I'd describe Confucius more as a teacher and thinker than a writer. He was a very wise man. What do you have to do for the discussion?Betty: Well, each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion.Mr Jackson: I see. We're still influenced by Confucius's ideas, and Shakespeare's plays also make a lot of sense to us today. People have always read, and will always read great books. By the way, what do you think of Mark Twain, the great American writer in the nineteenth century?Betty: He was important, but I suppose he isn't as we-llknown as Confucius or Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular, and one of his books is my favourite, TheAdventure of Tom Sawyer.Betty: Great! Why don't you join in the discussion and tell us about it?Unit 2 It is still read and lovedA book review of The Adventure of Tom SawyerBy Betty KingOne of my favourite great books isThe Adventure of Tom Sawyer , by Mark Twain. The storyis set in the town of St Petersburg, Missouri, the US, in the nineteenth century. It tells some excitingstories about a boy who has many adventures.Tom, the hero of the book, lives with his aunt Polly. He is a lively and clever boy. He does notlike people telling him what to do, so he always gets into trouble. He and his best friend, Huck Finn,run away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Tom has more trouble because a badman named Injun Joe is looking for him. Later, Tom escapes from a cave with another friend,Becky. He also finds Injun Joe's treasure box and takes it away.My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Huck start their adventures on the island in theMississippi River. At first, they are happy. But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead,they feel very sorry, so they come back home. They hide and watch for a time when they see theirfamily and neighbours coming to their funeral in the church. Then, Tom and Huck suddenly appear.Everyone is surprised to see them at first, but very pleased to find that they are alive. The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It is more than an adventure story. Mark Twainwrote it in 1876. It describes people's lives in the southern states of America at that time. It tellshow young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions. It iswritten in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and lovedby people all over the world, and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.Module 8 Sports lifeUnit 1 Daming wasn't chosen for the team last yearLingling: Hi, Tony, you look tired.Tony: Yes, I'm training for the big match next week.Betty: Who are you playing against?Tony: HAS.Lingling: What does HAS stand for?Tony: Haidian All Stars.Betty: Oh, yes. It'll be a difficult match. Didn't they beat you last time?Tony: Yes, they did. But …Lingling: What was the score?Betty: If my memory is correct, HAS 98 points to BIG 52.Tony: But Daming wasn't chosen for the team last time. That was a bad decision. We can't play well without him.Lingling: That's no excuse!Tony: But Daming is back now. There's no difference between the two teams this season.Betty: When is the match?Tony: It's next Saturday at noon, but if you want good seats, you should come by 11:30. Are you coming?ll win, Lingling?'m not sure. Do you think they'I Betty:Lingling: No way! How many matches have you played against HAS this year?Tony: Well, about three.Betty: And how many have HAS won?Tony: Er… most of them.Betty: Wrong! All of them! Face the truth, Tony. You've got no chance!Tony: I don't agree. That's not fair! (Tony leaves angrily.) Lingling: Remember to throw the ball, not knick it, Tony!Betty: He's so mad at us that he'll try harder to win, just to show we're wrong! Lingling: Nice work, Betty! I do hope they win this time. We'll be there to cheer for them. Unit 2 He was invited to competitions around the world.Liu Xiang---trained to win!For Liu Xiang, life as a sports hero began in 2004. First, he was invited to competitions aroundthe world. Then, he was chosen for the Chinese team at the Athens Olympic Games and won a goldmedal.Liu Xiang was not a successful sportsman at first. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July 1983,and started training when he was very young. In Grade 4, he went to the Sports School of PutuoDistrict of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train for the high jump.In 1998, Liu Xiang's ability in hurdling was noticed by Sun Haiping, who later became hiscoach. In 2001, a special programme was set up to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. LiuXiang was among them. His races were recorded, and he was compared with the world's best sportsstars. Sun Haiping used the information to change his training methods for Liu Xiang.In May 2001, Liu Xiang won his first international 110m hurdles race in Japan. In 2004,hewon the first Olympic gold medal for China in the 110m hurdles race, and at the same time brokethe Olympic Games record. It was also the first time an Olympic gold medal for hurdling was hung round the neck of a sportsperson from an Asian country.Liu Xiang trained very hard. In fact, he trained so hard that he hurt his foot. From 2008 on, hesuffered a lot from his foot problem, but he did not give up. Though he missed some competitions,he still returned to first place in the world 110m hurdles race in 2012.It is a pity that his foot problem stopped him from completing the 2012 London Olympic Games. But he is still a symbol of courage and success, and we continue to take great pride in him.Module 9 Great inventionsUnit 1 Will computers be used more than books in the future?Tony: Dad, can I borrow your camera?Dad: Why?Tony: I'd like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week. They'll be put upon the school website. And they can be seen on the Internet by other classes, even peopleliving in other countries.Dad: Sounds great! When I was at school, we waited for weeks to hear from our pen friendsabroad. But today, we can send and receive photos and mails on the Internet, and it's really fast.Tony: Yes, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives. We even use online textbooks inour class. I won der… Will computers be used more tha n books in the future?Dad: Perhaps. In the past, we mainly got information from paper books. Some are huge ones with thousands of pages. Today, with the invention of the computer and the electronic technology,it's easy to get information on the Internet. The Internet is more powerful than books. Tony: Anyway, about the camera r ?Dad: Oh, yes. Here it is. I haven't used it since your mum's birthday. And the memory may befull.Tony: OK. That can be fixed. I've got an empty memory card. Where are the instructions?Dad: In the camera bag. It's a gift from your mum for my birthday, so you must promise thatyou'll take good care of it. if you have to lend it to anyone, tell them to use it properly.Tony: Promise!Unit 2 Will books be replaced by the Internet?Every morning, my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day, I open my booksin class and start my lessons. Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. Andvery night, I look at the photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I goto sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started towrite on paper to make a book. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As aresult, there were not many books, and they were expensive. So, few people had the chance to learn to read.Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, developments inprinting made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply. A trade in books resulted, andmore people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spread faster than ever before. In a way, we cancompare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentiethcentury.Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast, and may become more powerfulthan printing. A much larger amount of information can be stored on the Internet than in books.Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find inprinted forms. And the machines we use to read it are now small and light, often smaller and lighter than a single book.Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now, and newspapers and magazines arealready read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future? Will books bereplaced by the Internet? Let's wait and see.Module 10 AustraliaUnit 1 I have some photos that I took in Australia last year Tony: Dad, I need your help. My teacher asked us to choose a country we want to visit, imagine wewere there, and write a letter to our parents back home. I've chosen Australia. How can I do it?Dad: Don't worry. I have some photos that I took in Australia last year. They may help you. Here。

We can listen to cool music and news reports. And it’s all because of our ears! They bring us a world of sounds.But some people can’t hear any sound at all. Some are born deaf. Others can hear well in their childhood, but too many loud sounds hurt their ears later on.In China, 6 children out of 1000 have hearing problems when they are born. They can’t hear ordinary sounds clearly. Children who have hearing problems usually also have learning problems at school.A lot of things can cause hearing problems.

M7 U1Mr.Jacks on:Hello,Betty.What’s up?Betty:Iwant to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.Mr.Jackson:So,who are your great writers?Betty:Well,maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.Mr.Jackson:Really?I accept that they’re great because their works are still read bay many people today.But I think I’d describeConfucius more as a teacher and thinker than a writer.He wasa very wise man.What do you have to do for the discussion? Betty:Well,each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion.Mr.Jackson:I see.We’re still influenced by Confucius ideas,andShakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to ustoday.People have always read,and will always read greatbooks.By the way,what do you think of Mark Twain,theGreat American writer in the nineteenth century?Betty:He wasn’t important,but I suppose he isn’t as well-know asConfucius or Shakespeare.Mr.Jackson:No,but his books are still popular,and one of his book is my favourite,The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.Betty:Great!Why don’t you join in the discussion and tell us about it?M7 U2A book review of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.By Betty King.One of my favourite great books is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,by Mark Twain.The story is set in the town of St Petersburg,Missouri,the US,in the nineteenth century.It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.Tom,the hero of the book,lives with his aunt Polly.He is a lively and clever boy.He does not like people telling him what to do,so he always gets into trouble.He and his best friend,Huck Finn,run away to an island in the middle of the MississippiRiver.Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for ter,Tom escapes from a cave with another friend,Becky.He also finds Injun Joe’s treasure box and takes it away.My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Hunk start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River.At first, they are happy.But when they hear that everyone thinks they are died,they feel very sorry,so they come back home.They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours coming to their funeral in the church.Then Tom and Huck suddenly appear.Everyone is surprised to see them at first,but very pleased to find that they are alive.The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It’s more than an adventure story.Mark Twain wrote it in 1876.it describes people’slives in the southern states of America at that time.It tells how young people grow,how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions.It’s written in everyday English,and the dialogues sound especially real.Today,it is still read and loved by people all over the world,and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.M8 U1Lingling: Hi, Tony. You look tired.Tony:Yes. I'm training for the big match next week.Betty: Who are you playing against?Daming: HAS.Lingling: What does HAS stand for?Tony: Haidian All Stars.Betty: Oh, yes. It’ll be a difficult match.Didn’t they beat you last time?Tony:Yes,they did.But...Lingling: What was the score?Betty: If my memory is correct, HAS 98 points to BIG 52.Tony:But Daming wasn’t chosen for the tea last time.That was a bad decision.We can’t play well without him.Lingling:That’s no excuse!Tony:But Daming is back now.There is no difference between the two teams this season. Betty:When is the match?Tony: It’s next Saturday at afternoon,but if you want good seats,you should come by 11:30. Are you coming?Betty: I’m not sure.Do you think they’ll win,Lingling?Lingling: No way!How many matches have you played against HAS this year?Tony:Well, about three.Betty:And how many has HAS won?Tony:Er...most of them.Betty: Wrong!All of them!Face the truth,Tony.You've got no chance!Tony:I don’t agree.That’s not fair!(Tony leaves angrily.)Lingling:Remember to throw the ball,not kick it,Tony!Betty:He’s so mad at us that he’ll try harder to win,just to show we’re wrong!Lingling:Nice work,Betty!I do hope they win this time.We’ll be there to cheer for them.M8 U2Liu Xiang-Trained to win.For Liu Xiang, life as a sports hero began in 2004. First, he was invited to competitions around the world. Then,he was chosen for the Chinese team atthe Athens Olympic Games and won a gold medal.Liu Xiang was not a successful sportsman at first. He was born inShanghai on 13th July, 1983 and started training when he was very young.In Grade 4, he went to the Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai. Liuwas encouraged at first to train for the high jump.In1998, Liu Xiang’s ability in hurdling was noticed by Sun Haiping,who later became his coach.In 2001, a special programme was set up to helpyoung sportsmen and sportswomen.Liu Xiang was among them.His raceswere recorded, and he was compared with the world's best sports stars. SunHaiping used the information to change his training methods for Liu Xiang.In May 2001,He won his first international 110m hurdles race in Japan. In2004, He won the first Olympic gold medal for China in the 110m hurdlesrace,and at the same time broke the Olympic Games record.It was also thefirst time an Olympic gold medals for hurdling was hang round the neck of a sportsperson from an Asian country.Liu Xiang trained very hard.In fact,he trained so hard that he hurt hisfoot.From 2008 on,he suffered a lot from his foot problem,but he did notgive up.Though he missed some competitions,he still returned to first placein the world 110m hurdles race in 2012.It is a pity that his foot problem stopped him from completing the 2012London Olympic Games.But he is still a symbol of courage and success,andwe continue to take great pride in him.M9 U1Tony:Dad, can I borrow your camera?Dad:Why?Tony:I'd like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week.They’ll be put up on the school website.And they can be seen on the Internet by other classes,even people living in other countries.Dad:Sounds great!When I was at school,we wait for weeks to hear from our pen friends abroad.But today,we can send and receive photos and mails on theInternet,and it’s really fast.Tony:Yes, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives.We even use online textbooks in our class.I wonder...Will computers be used more than books in the future.Dad:Perhaps.In the past,we mainly got information from paper books.Some are huge ones with thousands of pages.Today,with the invention with the computer and the electronic technology ,it’s easy to get information on the Internet .The Internet is more powerful than books.Tony:Anyway,about the camera...?Dad:Oh,yes.Here it is. I haven’t used it since your mum’s birthday.And the memory may be full.Tony:OK.That can be fixed.I’ve got an empty memory card.Where are the instructions.Dad:In the camera bag.It’s a gift from your mum for my birthday,so you must promise that you’ll take good care of it.If you have to lend it to anyone,tell them to use it properly.Tony:Promise!Will books be replaced by the Internet.Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China.After its invention, people start to write on paper to make a book. In those days, books were only be produced one at a timeby hand. As a result, they were not many books,and they were expensive and rare. So few people had the chance to learn to read.Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tangter,developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply.A trade in books resulted,and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spreadfaster than ever before.In a way,we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.Although the Internet is stull young,it is growing very fast,and may become more powerful than printing.A much larger amount of information can be stored in more varied forms on the Internet than in books.Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find it in printed forms.And the machines we use to read it era now small and light,often smaller and lighter than a single book.Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future?Will books be replaced by the Internet?Let’s wait and see.Tony:Dad,I need your help.My teacher asked us to choose a country we want to visit,imagine we were there,and write a letter to our parents back home.I have chosen Australia.How can I do it.Dad:Don’t worry.I have some photos that I took in Australia last year.They may help you.Here we go.This is a rock called Ayers Rock,in central Australia.According to the local people,it’s aspecial and magical place.Tony:Oh,it looks huge.What’s its height?Dad:348 metres.And this is the Sydney Opera House.It’s like a huge sailing boat with water on three sides.And this one is the Great Barrier Reef.Tony:Does it lie off the northeast coast of Australia?Dad:Yes,it’s over 2600 kilometres long.It’s a great natural wonder.And here are some photos of my Australian friends.They’re sheep farmers.They wear special hats that keep the flies away.The scissors that they are holding are used to cut the wool off the sheep.Do you know that manyAustralians came from Britain?Tony:Yes,of course!That’s why they speak English.Did you keep a diary while you were there?Dad:Yes,and you can read it.Tony:That’s great!And what didn’t you like about Australia?Dad:I hated the ants that were all over place .I had to brush them off my thes,escially my trousers!Tony:Ants in your trousers!that’s really funny!Dad:It wasn’t funny at the time!M10 U2Dear Mum and Dad,I'm writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment, we're staying near Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a plane tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high!During different perioods of the day, the colours of the rock ture dark blue,purple,yellow and red.Ayers Rock is a centre of local Aboriginal culture. The Aborigines are the people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times,and their ancient stories describe the spirits that created the world.The Australians have a close relationship with the British. Many have British relatives, and they're like us in many ways. The food that Australians like most are ham and beef with lots of salad.They also grow grapes and other fruits. They love all sports, but the game that they like most is Australia football. Because most Australians live near the coast, they also love going to the beach for swimming and surfing or just lying in the sun.Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sun is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the middle of the country has no trees or grass,just rocks and sand...And kangaroos!Australians speak English,but in their own way.For example,when they say "No worries.", they mean "Hello!" and "Don't worry about it. It's not a “G’day!” andproblem!"On the second day,we went horse riding. The horse that I rode was lazy, so I was left far behind the others.but I enjoyed the slow and relaxing ride.Later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It has been a wonderful trip!Love,TonyM11 U1Daming:Are you going to enter the photo competition,Tony?Tony:You bet!I want to beat He Zhong this year.He’s not going to win it twice! Daming:Who’s He Zhong?Tony:He’s the boy who won the photo competition last year!Daming:The one who took photos at the school dance?Tony:That’s right.The thing is,he’s really good.And the general standard of the competition is much higher this year.Daming:I have a feeling that we can solve these little difficulties.What are the subjects that they’ve chosen for this year’s competition?Tony:Nature,Home and Away,City and People,and Music.Daming:I think He Zhong will choose the subject Home and Away,and take photos of Beijing?Tony:But Beijing isn’t my home town.It’s Cambrige.Daming:It doesn’t matter.Take some photos of Beijing and add some photos of Cambridge that you took recently.Tony:That’s a good idea.What about that photo of my cousin flying kites with Chinese kids in the Summer Palace?And the one of him reading a Chinese menu for the first time in Cambridge?Daming:Nice photos!I’m sure you’re in with a chance!M11 U2Results of the photo competitionTonight I am more than happy to read out the winners of the photo competition.We are very pleased with our competition this pared with other years,we recieved many more photos.Even though all of the photos are excellent,we are sorry to say that we cannot give prizes to everyone.The person who won the prize for the subject Nature is ffiteen-year-old Li Wei.Li Wei took a photo of the trees in Xiangshan Park.His photo shows the different colours on the hill.The photo we liked best in the city and People group was taken by Zhao Min.Zhao Min is only twelve years old.Her photo shows a person rushing across a street on a windy evening.It is a beautiful girl who is wearing a blouse and skirt, and who is protecting her books against the showers.The best photo in the music group was taken by He Zhong.His photo of the group Crazy Feet shows the singer,Becky Wang,and the band playing at aconcert.He Zhong manages to show how this great new band moves and sounds,and the good time which their fans are having.A group of photos which show Beijing and Cambridge in England have won the prize for the subject Home and Away.They show some of the experience of a young vistor to our country,and some memories of his home.The winner is Tony Smith.Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered thecompetition.Now let’s welcome our headmaster to present the prizes to the winners!M12 U1Lingling:After our lesson on the environment,I’m worried about the future.Pollution is our gret enemy,and we have to fight it.If the rivers arepolluted ,farmers can’t use the water for their crops.Tony:And in some places,pollution from factories spreads over cities and villages.It makes people ill,and may even kill them.Pollution is a danger to our health.Betty:And there are so many cars on the roads.They use so much oil and cause pollution as well.Daming:But we’ve only students.We can’t do anything about factories and cars. Betty:It’s no use talking about things we can’t do.We’ve got to think of things we can do!Daming:Such as...?Lingling:Do you think we can make our school a green school?Daming:What’s a green school?Lingling;At a green school,every class collects waste which we can be recycled or used again.Then the school sells the waste and use the money to helpstudents in poor areas.Daming:Nice idea!Betty:Students at a green school also learn ways to save energy and recycle at home.That means less waste.Tony:That’s a good idea.Though pollution is heavy now,I don’t think it’s hopeless.If everyone starts to do something,the world will be saved.M12 U2How to be green.By Wang Lingling.How green are you? Answer these questions and find out.•Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school?•Do you buy new clothes just because they are modern?•Do you turn off the lights when you leave home?•Do you take your own bag when shopping and no ask for a plastic bags?•Do you buy drinks in bottles?And what do you do with the bottles when they are empty?•Do you divide the waste into things to recycle and things to throw away?We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day, and it is harmful to our environment. Repeat these three words daily: Reduce, reuse and recycle.ReduceReduce means "use less". Do not waste things. It saves money and causes less pollution.Do you order more food than you can finish.Turn off the lights when you do not need them.Before you buy something new,think whether it is really necessary,because maybe the old one is just as good!ReuseReuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. Look after them so that they will last.Repair them if possible.Do not throw them away and buy new ones.Do not use paper cups or paper bags.It’s better to use china cups and cloth bags because they can be used many times.RecycleRecycle means "change things into something else to be reused". Although it takes energy to change things into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Divide your rubbish into plastic,glass,paper and rubber.Develop a recyling policy for the whole community.But products suah as recycled paper to help save trees.We cannot hope for rapid change,but let’s take these simple steps today so that we will save the woeld for our grandsons and granddaughters tomorrow.。

新外研版英语九年级上下全册课文word版M1U2 P4The greatest wonder of the natural world When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.After about a kilometer, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?”I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was sill too dark to see anything.Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. . I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometres below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon . How far is it? It’s 20 kilometres , maybe more. Finally , I looked to my left and to my left and to my right , and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance … over 400 kilometres long . The Grand Canyon is not just big . It’s huge!That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question . It’s not “How deep is it ?” or “How wide is it ?” or “How long is it ? ” but “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world ? ” I know the answer. But what do you think?M2U2P12The adventures of Tom SawyerHere is our monthly article on a favourite great book. This month, our guest Writer is Mr Jackson.My favourite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg, Missouri. He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of gold.My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The themes of the story are to do with children growing up and becoming more serious. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviourWhy do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876. but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on—read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.M3U2P20Liu Xiang- trained for goldSports yearbook 2004For Liu Xiang, life as a sporting hero has justbegun .First of all, he'll be invited to competitions around the world. He'll be chosen to represent China at the Olympic Games. He's a symbol of China's international sporting success.And now that he's well known all over the world .Liu Xiang will also be asked to appear in advertisements and films, and even to record music. But his coach Sun Haiping is making sure that he trains regularly .Liu Xiang will be advised by his coach on how to be a great sportsman and by his manager on how to be a star.Liu Xiang is not an overnight success. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July, 1983 and, like many Olympic sports stars, he started training when to the Junior Sports School of putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train as a high jumper. Then, in 1998,his skill at hurdling was noticed by his coach Sun Haiping.Liu Xiang was helped by a special programme. It was set up in 2001 to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu's races were recorded with the world's best sports stars .Sun Haiping used the information to change Liu's training programme. In 2002 he won his first international 110m hurdles event in Switzerland, and in the same year, a gold medal at the Asian Games in Korea .In 2004, Liu won the first Olympic gold medal in the same event for China in Athens, Greece.So what's next for Liu Xiang? Has he found out that there's more to life than training? Will he be encouraged to spend more time away from sport?No, Liu Xiang will go for more medals for China because he was trained for gold! M4U2P28Can books be replaced by computers?by Tony Smith Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. The first printed books were made by putting ink on a wooden block and holding the paper against it. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly, in a way that can be compared with the introduction of the Internet in the 20th century.But will books be needed in the future? Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players. These machines are smaller and lighter than books so that they can be carried very easily. Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!M5U2P36The Science Museum in Londonby Tony SmithThe most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there's no shouting and no running, and you aren't allowed to touch the exhibits.But the Science Museum is different… because it's noisy! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it's a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button. If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry.You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops. Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can stay as long as you like-it’s open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favourite museum in the whole world. M6u2p44How to be greenBy Zhao Ming How green are you? Do you care about protecting the environment and saving energy? Try these questions and see.Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school?Do you buy new clothes just because they are the latest fashions?Do you open a window instead of turning on air conditioning?Do you buy things produced locally instead of made abroad?Do you take your own cloth bag when shopping instead of using plastic bags?Do you sort the waste before throwing it away?We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle. ReduceReduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going in to the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary – or may be the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.ReuseReuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing the m away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again. RecycleRecycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.Dear Mum and Dad,I’m writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment we’re staying near Uluru —that’s the Aboriginal name for A yers Rock. On the first day, we took a helicopter tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high. The colours of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient Aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a centre of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives and they’re like us in many ways. Their f amily life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but the games that they love the most are football, cricket and rugby. Because most Australians live near the coast, they love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it’s December, it’s summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.Most Australians speak English, although they have some special expressions such as “Good day!” and “No worries, mate.” They mean “Hello!” and “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a problem!”The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper, and I got very tired. Everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down …Finally, later this evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It’s been a fantastic trip! Love,TonyResults of student photo competitionWe were very pleased with the photo competition. Compared with other years, we received many more photos. Even though all of the photos are excellent, we can’t give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.The person who won the prize for the Most Beautiful Nature photography is fifteen-year-old Li Wei. Li took photos of the mountains in Xiangshan Park. The park isn’t far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it very well.The photo which we liked best in the Historic China group was taken by Zhao Min. Zhao is only 12 years old. Her photo is of Tian’an men Square, the largest public square in the world. It’s 880 metres from north to south and 500 metres wide at the northern end. Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.The best photo in the Music category was taken by He Zhong. His photo of this year’s best band Crazy Feet shows the singer. Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great new band, and the fun which their fans are having.A collection of photos called “The many Faces of Our City” which features Beijing won the prize for the Most Unusual category. Three pupils at the same school worked on this entry. It includes photos of different parts of the city, old and new. It successfully shows the rich culture which makes Beijing so famous. Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition. We are very lucky that the famous photographer John William is in China to talk about his new book. He has agreed to present the prizes at the prize giving ceremony at the end of this month.Cartoon heroesNemo, a cute orange-and-white fish, and Shriek, a huge green monster, have won the hearts of young people in China and the all over the world . The heroes of popular cartoons are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and computer screens.But there are some cartoon favorites which are older. The cartoon of the monkey King has just had its “40th birthday”. Called havoc in Heaven, it tells the story of a monkey who leads a group of monkeys against the rule of the Emperor in heaven. He flies into a peach garden and ears as many peaches as he likes. He makes a mess in each room in heaven. But it is above all the jokes played by the monkey that people remember. “Havoc in heaven” has become a common expression used by a parent or a boss when they return to the house or office and see a mess.Another favorite who has celebrated an important birthday in China is a reporter with hair and a small white dog. Tintin has traveled to the jungles, the backstretch of Shanghai and even the surface of the moon. Tintin has been popular for 75 years, ever since Belgian cartoonist Here invented the character in 1929. His books have been translated into more than 50 languages, and about 200 million copies have been sold. In December 1984 the whole series of Tintin began to be published in China. Many Chinese still keep collections of these black-and-white Tintin books. There are several fan clubs in China which have held birthday parties for Tintin in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Wuhan.Finally, Snoopy, Charlie Brown’s lovable dog who lives in his own private dream world, also had his “50th birthday” celebrated by China’s Snoopy fans in 2000.“I didn’t draw the cartoons only for children. Adults who have experienced life understand them better,” said the late Charles Schultz, creator of Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons.Feed me betterJamie Oliver is a young cook who wants to improve school dinners. In 2005 he went back to school to see what the children were eating.1 ______________________________Jamie asked the children what their meals were like. “We hamburgers and chips, or pizza,” they told him, “and sometimes there is fruit, but we prefer ice cream.” Jamie thought the menu was terrible. The children were eating junk food, and it was a problem. Junk food isn’t just bad for the body. Children whose midday meals were unhealthy were difficult to teach in the afternoon. Teachers said that children behaved very badly after lunch.2 _______________________________ When Jamie took vegetables into class, the children didn’t know what they were. Jamie realized that the children didn’t know about healthy food. T hen he talked to the people who worked in the kitchens. He found out that they didn’t know enough about food and health, and they didn’t have very much money to spend.3 ________________________________He decided to teach the cooks and the children about healthy food. It was hard work! He cooked healthy meals for them including meat, rice, pasta and vegetables, but a lot of the teenagers refused to eat the new food. Jamie showed them why the junk food wasn’t healthy. In the end, when Jamie persuaded them to try his cooking, they like it!4 ________________________________Jamie talked to the government. He told them they need to ban junk food from schools, train the cooks, educate the children and spend more money on school dinners. A lot of parents, teachers and children agreed with him. The newspapers wrote articles about him, and a TV programme showed his visits to the school. Jamie is a cook whose ideas are changing school dinners all over Britain.M11U2 P90Visions of the cityJo is 15 and lives in Parkville. When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville 50 years ago, it was a quiet country village in the centre of the country. At that time, they had a small house on the edge of town, with some fields and the hills in the distance.But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick, with about 200,000 people. People from the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life. And of course they needed somewhere to live. However, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge of the city. And soon, Parkville became a suburb of Arnwick. It now has over a million people. Jo’s family live in one of those new flats —there’s no room for small houses any more.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago. Jo goes to a school close to the centre of Arnwick, with 2,000 pupils. No one knows all their names.It takes Jo an hour to get to school, and this adds to the traffic a nd pollution. But it’s not her fault. She liked her old school.Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, better public transport and fewer private cars. There need to be more shops and offices. It also needs clean water and no rubbish in the street s. It’s difficult to run a big city, and to protect people from crime. So it also needs more laws and more police, and more taxes to pay for everything.Well, what do you think of all this? Do you like the things which are happening in Parkville? In fact, “Visions of the city” is just a story. But does your town have the same problems as Arnwick?

You're Sitting in My Seat!The train to Beijing! Lin often dreamed about the train, and about going to the capital. Now it was in front of him, to set off soon. He looked at his brother."Don't forget where you come from, little brother," Jin said. "And watch your bags carefully."Lin nodded, unable to speak. This was his first long trip by train at the start of his new life, leaving his village and his home for the last 16 years.He held Jin in his arms. With tears in his eyes, Jin pushed Lin away. "Go, brother. Write to us as soon as you get there, OK?"Lin jumped onto the train. There were people and bags everywhere. He pushed past them towards his seat.A young man was sitting in Lin's seat. He was wearing jeans and a very smart jacket, and was smoking a cigarette.What should he do? Six pairs of eyes looked at Lin, while the man looked out of the window."Sir, you're sitting in my seat," Lin said, with a nervous smile. The other people watched with interest.The man didn't turn to look at Lin, but just looked out of the window."Excuse me. I have a ticket with the number of the seat you're sitting in!" Lin said in a stronger voice."I also have a ticket with that number—though it is in another car. Besides, I was here first," said the man, without moving his head. Though he was sitting, he looked very tall and strong.Lin looked at the other passengers for help. "But ... " he started to say."But what?" The man turned and looked at Lin. "I'm not moving."Finally a man wearing glasses spoke in a loud voice. "This young man has the right ticket for that seat. You should move."Lin felt brave. "See? Please move. I've got a long way to go.""How long?" the young man asked."To the last stop, Beijing.""I'm getting off before you. Then you can"Hangzhou."Lin thought Hangzhou was far away."It's seven hours away from here," the man with glasses said. "Even if it's only 10 minutes, you should move."Slowly the young man stood up, dropped his cigarette on the floor, and disappeared down the train.Module 2 P12My School LifeMy name is Sally Maxwell, and I'm 15. I've been at Park School, London since I was 11. If I pass my exams next year, I'll stay here until I'm 18.Park School is a secondary school, about 20 minutes by bike away from home. Before I came here, I went to primary school, near my home. I started primary school when I was five and stayed there for six years.The schoolday is from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. We spend the first 10 minutes in our classroom while our teacher checks which pupils are present or absent. Then everyone goes to the main hall. There our head teacher makes a speech and tells us any news about the school. Lessons begin at 9:05 and last for an hour. We have a break at 11:05 until 11:20, then another lesson, then lunch for an hour. We have two more lessons before school finishes.This year I have 11 subjects: maths, biology, chemistry, French, history, geography, music and IT, PHSE, ADT and PE (these stand for Information Technology; Personal Health and Safety Education; Art, Design and Technology and Physical Education). Fortunately, we don't have exams in every subject. PHSE is about the dangers of drugs and smoking, among other things. In ADT we also do things like learning to cook as well as drawing and design. Some people can do Italian and Spanish instead of French, but no one is learning Chinese ... yet! PE involves physical exercise, basketball, training in the gym and swimming—we're really lucky to have a swimming pool.I took exams when I was 7, 10, and 14 years old. Next year I take my exams in eight subjects, and then I can do between three and five subjects for the exams in my final year.We have a large sports ground where we play football, tennis and do athletics both during and after school hours. After-school activities, such asactivities, such as climbing and cycling in the country. There are parties and discos and a sports day, and the school play is a really important event. Once a term, there is a parents' meeting, so our parents and teachers can talk about our progress.What's the best thing about school? English, history, music ... and my friends. What's the worst thing? Homework ... and exams!Module 3 P20Life in the PastMrs Li is over 70 years old, and has lived in Beijing all her life. I asked her about life today and in the past.Tell me about your parents, brothers and sisters.My parents, my sister and three brothers lived in a small house beside a restaurant. We weren't very rich, but we were happy. My sister was the eldest child and she left school when she was only 12 to help my mother at home.Families have changed a lot since I was young. They were much bigger in those days. Most of my friends had lots of brothers and sisters. Today most people only have one child! Did your parents have jobs?My father went out to work. He was a factory worker, and he often worked 12 hours a day. My mum wanted to work. She was a teacher before she met my father. Looking after us was afull-time job, so she stayed at home. Today it's normal for married women to go out to work, but it was less common in the past. My father had the same job the whole of his working life. These days people change their jobs much more often. What was life like at home?Well, I remember the family meals, three times a day. My mother was always cooking for us. We weren't rich but we ate enough. And the food was always freshly cooked—my mother never bought ready-made food as people do today, so it was much better for us. And of course we didn't have television, so we played games together and read a lot. I helped my younger brother with his homework in the evenings. Where did you meet your husband?I first met him 60 years ago. I was carrying some heavy bags on my bike and I fell off! He stopped and picked up my bags. My parents liked they just hope their parents will be happy for them if they marry.Has Beijing changed?Yes, there are lots more buildings and so much more traffic! I can't believe the number of cars on the streets. But I suppose it's the same everywhere. And I walk less these days and take the bus more.And do you think life is better today?Well, I think so. I'm healthier than I've ever been. We live longer and we eat better. One dayI'll be talking to your own grandchildren! Module 4 P28-29Looking Cool1. What do you look for when you go shoppingfor clothes? Do you choose something fashionable ... or comfortable? Do you like tolook different? Or do you wear the same clothes as your friends? Do you go for this year's colours? Is it the logo—the company symbol—that catches your attention? Or maybe film stars are wearing these clothes? What helps you choose the clothes you like?2. Everyone spends money on clothes, and everyone has their personal look. The best-known clothing companies sell their "designer" clothesall over the world. But the number of these big name companies is in fact very small, and the clothes they make are more expensive than the clothes made by less well-known companies. Many people even prefer them to cheaper clothes. Why?3. Many young people today care about the way they look. They often buy "designer" clothes because they think they look cool. Then the less well-known companies make clothes which look the same. But they don't sell as well because they don't have the logo.4. People also think designer clothes are better made. For example, many people think the right running shoes will make you run faster or play better. Of course, this is not always true. It's the training—not the trainers—that improves your speed or your score. But that's not the point. People believe that it's true ... and then buy the shoes. The big companies only want to make a lot of money.5. Above all, designer clothes are more popular because of clever advertising. All of the international companies spend millions of dollars。

外研社(2014新版)九年级英语上册课文（Module 1—12）Module1 Wonders of the worldUnit 1 It’s more than 2,000 years old.Tony: Let's call Wonders of the World and join in the discussion. I think natural wonders are more interesting than man-made ones. And I thinkthe Giant's Causeway is the most fantastic natural wonder. Lingling: Hm, I’ve never seen it, so I'm not sure I agree with you. Why do you like it, TonyTony: Well, I visited the Giant's Causeway two years ago. It's huge.There're about 40,000 rocks, most of them with six sides. It goesfor several hundred metres on the eastern coast of Northern Ireland Lingling: That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic. They're about l,700 metres wide and 100 metres high.You can hear the loud noise a few kilometres away.Betty: Wow, that's huge! But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones. Look at the Terracotta Army. It's morethan years old.Daming: I agree with you, Betty. And I think the Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. It's about 2,300 metres long, 185 metres high and 15 metres wideat the top. It produces electricity for millions of people in China. Betty: Now, who'd like to call firstUnit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big.A great wonder of the natural worldWhen I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east -- the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there. After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. "Am I going the right way" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes," Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it.Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river.I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world - the Grand Canyon.I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself. "Isthe Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world" I certainly know the answer. What do you thinkModule 2 Public HolidaysUnit 1 My family always go somewhere interesting as soon as the holiday begins. Tony: The First of October is China's National Day, isn 't it, Lingling Lingling: Yes. The People's Republic of China was founded on 1st October 1949.People have celebrated the National Day since then.There are flowers and national flags everywhere, and we have athree-day holiday.Tony: Do you have any plans for the holiday this yearLingling: Yes. My parents and I are going to visit some friends in Shandong Province and will stay there until the end of the holiday. While we'restaying with our friends, we're going to spend one day in Qingdao.When is your national day, Betty'Betty : Our national day is called Independence Day. It's on 4th July. We've celebrated it since 1777. It's a public holiday, but we only haveone day off. On that day, there are all kinds of holiday activities.It's the start of the vacation season and most people take a vacationsometime in July or August.Lingling: And is there anything special on that dayBetty: Well, you can see American flags everywhere. We usually have a picnic somewhere nice. Kids have great fun. We also watch bands playmusic in public parks.Daming: Do you have a national day in the UK, TonyTony: No, we don't --- we celebrate Christmas with a two-day holiday. And my family always go somewhere interesting as soon as the holidaybegins.Unit 2 We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers arrived inAmerica.ThanksgivingThanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taughtthe pioneers how to grow corn. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food.We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food .We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. We usually eat too much, but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes. The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy's store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.Module 3 HeroesUnit 1 She trained hard, so she became a great player laterMs li: Daming, who is your hero Who have you chosen to tell us about Daming: Deng Yaping! She's my hero because she's one of the best table tennis players in the world and I love playing table tennis.Ms Li: Tell us about her.Daming: Well, she started playing table tennis when she was five. She trained hard, so she became a great player later.Ms Li: And what competitions has she wonDaming: She's won many world competitions, including four gold medals in the Olympics. She stopped playing when she was twenty- four.Ms Li: What did she do after thatDarning: She began to study at Tsinghua University in Beijing and then attended university abroad. Her English wasn't good enough when she began. Onceagain she worked hard, and seven years later, she completed herdoctor's degree at Cambridge University. Whatever she does, she nevergives up!Ms Li: That's amazing!Daming: Yes. Deng says that she isn't cleverer than anyone else, but she hasa very strong will.Ms Li: I see. Well. I think she's a good student as well as a good player. Daming: Yes, and she helped make the Beijing Olympics a victory for world sport.She's simply the best!Ms Li: She's a true hero.Unit 2 There were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his ownMy hero - Dr Norman BethuneBy Wang LinglingNorman Bethune is one of the most famous heroes in China. He was a Canadian doctor. He came to China to help the Chinese people and died for them.Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916 and went to Spain in 1936 to treat the wounded soldiers during the war there. He soon realised that many people were dying because they did not get to hospital quickly enough. Dr Bethune developed new ways of taking care of the sick. He invented special medical tools to use outside hospitals and close to the fighting areas so that doctors could treat the wounded more quickly. His inventions saved many lives.In 1938, Dr Bethune came to China and helped treat the wounded during the Anti- Japanese War. At that time, there were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own. His experience of treating people in Spain was useful in China. He developed training courses for local doctors and nurses, and wrote books so that they could learn about how he treated the sick.Dr Bethune often worked very hard without resting or taking care of himself. Once, he even worked for sixty-nine hours without stopping and managed to save over a hundred lives. One day in 1939, he cut his finger during an operation, but he continued his work without treating it. In the end, he died of his wound.Dr Bethune's work for the Chinese people made him a hero in China. There are many books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both China and Canada today.Module 4 Home aloneUnit 1 I can look after myself, although it won’t be easy for meMum: Now, what's our train numberDad: T27 to Lhasa. It's leaving from Platform 2.Mum: The meeting in Lhasa is very important for us, but I'm sorry you can't come with us, Betty.Betty: So am I, but I can't miss two weeks of school.Mum: Will you remember everything I've told you Be especially careful with the door. Shut it when you're in and lock it when you go out.Betty: Yes. Mum. l can look after myself, although it won't be easy for me. Mum: Well, make sure you eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. And I've left lots of your favourite biscuits.Betty: Don't worry. I can cook simple meals.Dad : There won't be anybody to wake you up in the morning.Betty: I'll be fine. My clock rings so loudly that it will certainly wake me up.Mum: I'm sure I've forgotten something, but I don't know what it is!(Announcement: We advise all passengers for Train T27 to Lhasa to go immediately to Platform 2. Your train is about to leave.)Betty: That's your train! Goodbye Mum, goodbye Dad.Mum: I know! I haven’t given you our address in Lhasa!Betty': Send me a text message. Have a good trip!Mum: Bye, my dear!Betty: Bye! See you in a couple of weeks!Unit 2 I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leaveme alone.My "perfect holiday"As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did everything for me. Actually, they managed every minute of my life. Although they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. "Zheng Chenyu, do your homework!" "Practise the piano!" "Turn off the TV!" I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Now was my chance! I could have some fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked the games so much that I played until mid-night.The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without breakfast,but I was still late. The teacher asked me for my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball with my classmates! I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long.When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped my father's cup when I was cooking! I found myself so bad at simple cooking tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wanted Mum and Dad to come home soon. Mum cooked such delicious food, and made sure I never forgot my homework. Dad always helped me with any difficult questions, and told funny jokes when I was unhappy. Then I realised being home alone was not always perfect.When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my home alone story and we all laughed.Module 5 MuseumsUnit 1 Don’t cross that rope!(Betty, Lingling and Daming are on the second floor of a museum.)Betty: What a wonderful museum!Lingling: It's great, isn't it Let's go to the Animal Room upstairs. I need some information for my project.Betty: Me too. Let's go. Wait, where's DamingLingling: There he is. What's he doing over thereDaming : Hey, Betty! Lingling! Come and see the monkey exhibition! Guard: No shouting, please! It's against the rules.Betty: Oh, no! Daming is in trouble again.Daming: Look at the monkey's tail! I've got to get in here…Gard: Stop! Don't cross that rope! Can't you see the sign, kid "No entry." Daming: Oh. Why notGuard: Because it's closed.Lingling: Yes, Daming. Read the sign!Daming : Oh, right. That's no good! Well, I'll just take a photo... Guard: Sorry. No photos. SeeDaming: There certainly are a lot of rules in this museum. No wonder the place is empty!Betty: Daming! Don't be rude!Lingling: Oh, no!Betty: What's the matter, LinglingLingling: My mobile phone! I t’s missing! Oh, no! What am I going to do Guard: Don't worry, Miss.

Daming： Yes, let's go downstairs.Unit 2 If you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science MuseumThe Science Museum in LondonBy Tony SmithWelcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different... It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you.I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communications and the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you sec inside your body.The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again.On the fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today,you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor!The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is my favourite museum in the whole world!Module 6 ProblemsUnit 1. If I start after dinner, I’ll finish it before I go to bed.Dad: Tony, you're playing the guitar again. Have you done your homework' Tony: No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed. Anyway, you wanted me to learn an instrument. Dad: I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home from school. If you start now, you'll finish it before dinner. Tony: Yes, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do volunteer work.Dad: So you're not going to do your home work nowTony: No, it isn’t necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.Dad: That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much.Tony: Why not I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there. Dad: No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you won't have time to study.Tony: You mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the worldDad: That's not the point. You should consider what the most important thing is. I don't want you to fail your exams.Tony: But.....Dad: You can't do anything before you finish your homework. I'm sorry, but that's my last word.Unit 2 If you tell him the truth now, you will show that you are honest.Do you have a problem Write to Diana at New Standard Magazine and ask for her advice.Dear Diana,Last week, my friend David came round with a new computer game and asked to play it on my dad’s computer. I was worried, because I should ask my dad before I use his computer. He uses it for his work, and I can only use it for my homework. The reason is that he thinks it will go wrong if I play games onit.Well, while my dad was out, we decided to try out David's game. We copied it to the computer, and after we finished playing, we took it off the computer. However, when I started the computer again to check if everything was OK, some of my dad's documents were missing. Then, when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. He could no longer find the documents anywhere! They were very important ones.I did not tell him about the computer game because I did not want him to be angry with me. Now I feel terrible. I am not sure whether a computer engineer can get the documents back. Should I tell him about the computer gameShould I pay to repair itYours,SteveDear Steve.Oh, dear! You have made two mistakes. It is bad enough that you used your dad's computer to play games when he told you not to. And it is even worse that you did not tell him about it. If you tell him the truth now, he will be angry with you, but at least you will show that you are honest.You should apologise to your father. You should also pay the bill to repair the computer. If you offer to give up your pocket money, your father will realise that you are very sorry.Remember, next time, play football with David and not computer games!Best wishes.DianaModule 7 Great booksUnit 1 We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideasMr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What’s upBetty: I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.Mr Jackson: So, who are your great writersBetty: Well, maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: Really I accept that they’re great because their works are still read by many people today. But I think I’d describe Confucius moreas a teacher and thinker than a writer. He was a very wise man.What do you have to do for the discussionBetty: Well, each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion.Mr Jackson: I see. We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas, and Shakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to us today. Peoplehave always read, and will always read great books. By the way,what do you think of Mark Twain, the great American writer in thenineteenth centuryBetty: He was important, but I suppose he isn’t as well-known as Confucius or Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular, and one of his books is my favourite, The Adventure of Tom Sawyer.Betty: Great! Why don’t you join in the discussion and tell us about itUnit 2 It is still read and lovedA book review of The Adventure of Tom SawyerBy Betty KingOne of my favourite great books is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain. The story is set in the town of St Petersburg, Missouri, the US, in the nineteenth century. It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.Tom, the hero of the book, lives with his aunt Polly. He is a lively and clever boy. He does not like people telling him what to do, so he always gets into trouble. He and his best friend, Huck Finn, run away to an island in themiddle of the Mississippi River. Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him. Later, Tom escapes from a cave with another friend, Becky. He also finds Injun Joe’s treasure box and takes it away.My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Huck start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River. At first, they are happy. But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead, they feel very sorry, so they come back home. They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours coming to their funeral in the church. Then, Tom and Huck suddenly appear. Everyone is surprised to see them at first, but very pleased to find that they are alive.The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It is more than an adventure story. Mark Twain wrote it in 1876. It describes people’s lives in the southern states of America at that time. It tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions. It is written in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and loved by people all over the world, and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.Module 8 Sports lifeUnit 1 Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last yearLingling: Hi, Tony, you look tired.Tony: Yes, I’m training for the big match next week.Betty: Who are you playing againstTony: HAS.Lingling: What does HAS stand forTony: Haidian All Stars.Betty: Oh, yes. It’ll be a difficult match. Didn’t they beat you last time Tony: Yes, they did. But…Lingling: What was the scoreBetty: If my memory is correct, HAS 98 points to BIG 52.Tony: But Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last time. That was a bad decision. We can’t play well without him.Lingling: That’s no excuse!Tony: But Daming is back now. There’s no difference between the two teams this season.Betty: When is the matchTony: It’s next Saturday at noon, but if you want good seats, you should come by 11:30. Are you comingBetty: I’m not sure. Do you think they’ll win, LinglingLingling: No way! How many matches have you played against HAS this year Tony: Well, about three.Betty: And how many have HAS wonTony: Er… most of them.Betty: Wrong! All of them! Face the truth, Tony. You’ve got no chance! Tony: I don’t agree. That’s not fair! (Tony leaves angrily.)Lingling: Remember to throw the ball, not knick it, Tony!Betty: He’s so mad at us that he’ll try harder to win, just to show we’re wrong!Lingling: Nice work, Betty! I do hope they win this time. We’ll be there to cheer for them.Unit 2 He was invited to competitions around the world.Liu Xiang---trained to win!For Liu Xiang, life as a sports hero began in 2004. First, he was invited to competitions around the world. Then, he was chosen for the Chinese team at the Athens Olympic Games and won a gold medal.Liu Xiang was not a successful sportsman at first. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July 1983, and started training when he was very young. In Grade 4, he went to the Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train for the high jump.In 1998, Liu Xiang’s ability in hurdling was noticed by Sun Haiping, who later became his coach. In 2001, a special programme was set up to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu Xiang was among them. His races were recorded, and he was compared with the world’s best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change his training methods for Liu Xiang.In May 2001, Liu Xiang won his first international 110m hurdles race in Japan. In 2004, he won the first Olympic gold medal for China in the 110m hurdles race, and at the same time broke the Olympic Games record. It was also the first time an Olympic gold medal for hurdling was hung round the neck of a sportspersonfrom an Asian country.Liu Xiang trained very hard. In fact, he trained so hard that he hurt his foot. From 2008 on, he suffered a lot from his foot problem, but he did not give up. Though he missed some competitions, he still returned to first place in the world 110m hurdles race in 2012.It is a pity that his foot problem stopped him from completing the 2012 London Olympic Games. But he is still a symbol of courage and success, and we continue to take great pride in him.Module 9 Great inventionsUnit 1 Will computers be used more than books in the futureTony: Dad, can I borrow your cameraDad: WhyTony: I’d like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week.They’ll be put up on the school website. And they can be seen on the Internet by other classes, even people living in other countries. Dad: Sounds great! When I was at school, we waited for weeks to hear from our pen friends abroad. But today, we can send and receive photos and mails on the Internet, and it’s really fast.Tony: Yes, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives. We even use online textbooks in our class. I wonder… Will computers be used more than books in the futureDad: Perhaps. In the past, we mainly got information from paper books. Some are huge ones with thousands of pages. Today, with the invention of the computer and the electronic technology, it’s easy to get information on the Internet. The Internet is more powerful than books.Tony: Anyway, about the camera…Dad: Oh, yes. Here it is. I haven’t used it since your mum’s birthday. And the memory may be full.Tony: OK. That can be fixed. I’ve got an empty memory card. Where are the instructionsDad: In the camera bag. It’s a gift from your mum for my birthday, so you must promise that you’ll take good care of it. if you have to lend it to anyone, tell them to use it properly.Tony: Promise!Unit 2 Will books be replaced by the Internet Every morning, my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day, I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. And very night, I look at the photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printingPaper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make a book. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result, there were not many books, andthey were expensive. So, few people had the chance to learn to read.Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply. A trade in books resulted, and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spread faster than ever before. In a way, we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast, and may become more powerful than printing. A much larger amount of information can be stored on the Internet than in books. Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find in printed forms. And the machines we use to read it are now small and light, often smaller and lighter than a single book.Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future Will books be replaced by the Internet Le t’s wait and see.Module 10 AustraliaUnit 1 I have some photos that I took in Australia last year Tony: Dad, I need your help. My teacher asked us to choose a country we want to visit, imagine we were there, and write a letter to our parents back home. I’ve chosen Australia. How can I do itDad: Don’t worry. I have some photos that I took in Australia last year. They。

外研社(2014新版)九年级英语上册课文（Module 1—12）Module1 Wonders of the worldUnit 1 It’s more than 2,000 years old.Tony: Let's call Wonders of the World and join in the discussion. I think natural wonders are more interesting than man-made ones. And I think the Giant'sCauseway is the most fantastic natural wonder.Lingling: Hm, I’ve never seen it, so I'm not sure I agree with you. Why do you like it, Tony?Tony: Well, I visited the Giant's Causeway two years ago. It's huge. There're about 40,000 rocks, most of them with six sides. It goes for severalhundred metres on the eastern coast of Northern IrelandLingling: That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic. They're about l,700 metres wide and 100 metres high. You canhear the loud noise a few kilometres away.Betty: Wow, that's huge! But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones. Look at the Terracotta Army. It's more than 2.000 yearsold.Daming: I agree with you, Betty. And I think the Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. It's about 2,300 metres long, 185 metres high and 15 metres wide atthe top. It produces electricity for millions of people in China. Betty: Now, who'd like to call first?Unit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big.A great wonder of the natural worldWhen I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east -- the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. "Am I going the right way?" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes," Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it.Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world - the Grand Canyon.I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself. "Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world?" I certainly know the answer. What do you think?Module 2 Public HolidaysUnit 1 My family always go somewhere interesting as soon as the holiday begins. Tony: The First of October is China's National Day, isn 't it, Lingling?Lingling: Yes. The People's Republic of China was founded on 1st October 1949.People have celebrated the National Day since then. Thereare flowers and national flags everywhere, and we have a three-dayholiday.Tony: Do you have any plans for the holiday this year?Lingling: Yes. My parents and I are going to visit some friends in Shandong Province and will stay there until the end of the holiday. While we're staying withour friends, we're going to spend one day in Qingdao. When is your nationalday, Betty'?Betty : Our national day is called Independence Day. It's on 4th July. We've celebrated it since 1777. It's a public holiday, but we only have one dayoff. On that day, there are all kinds of holiday activities. It's the startof the vacation season and most people take a vacation sometime in Julyor August.Lingling: And is there anything special on that day?Betty: Well, you can see American flags everywhere. We usually have a picnic somewhere nice. Kids have great fun. We also watch bands play music inpublic parks.Daming: Do you have a national day in the UK, Tony?Tony: No, we don't --- we celebrate Christmas with a two-day holiday. And my family always go somewhere interesting as soon as the holiday begins. Unit 2 We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers arrived in America.ThanksgivingThanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food. We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food .We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. We usually eat too much, but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes.The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy's store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.Module 3 HeroesUnit 1 She trained hard, so she became a great player laterMs li: Daming, who is your hero? Who have you chosen to tell us about? Daming: Deng Yaping! She's my hero because she's one of the best table tennis players in the world and I love playing table tennis.Ms Li: Tell us about her.Daming: Well, she started playing table tennis when she was five. She trained hard, so she became a great player later.Ms Li: And what competitions has she won?Daming: She's won many world competitions, including four gold medals in the Olympics. She stopped playing when she was twenty- four.Ms Li: What did she do after that?Darning: She began to study at Tsinghua University in Beijing and then attended university abroad. Her English wasn't good enough when she began. Once again she worked hard, and seven years later, she completed her doctor's degree at Cambridge University. Whatever she does, she never gives up!Ms Li: That's amazing!Daming: Yes. Deng says that she isn't cleverer than anyone else, but she has a very strong will.Ms Li: I see. Well. I think she's a good student as well as a good player. Daming: Yes, and she helped make the Beijing Olympics a victory for world sport.She's simply the best!Ms Li: She's a true hero.Unit 2 There were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his ownMy hero - Dr Norman BethuneBy Wang LinglingNorman Bethune is one of the most famous heroes in China. He was a Canadian doctor. He came to China to help the Chinese people and died for them.Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916 and went to Spain in 1936 to treat the wounded soldiers during the war there. He soon realised that many people were dying because they did not get to hospital quickly enough. Dr Bethune developed new ways of taking care of the sick. He invented special medical tools to use outside hospitals and close to the fighting areas so that doctors could treat the wounded more quickly. His inventions saved many lives.In 1938, Dr Bethune came to China and helped treat the wounded during the Anti- Japanese War. At that time, there were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own. His experience of treating people in Spain was useful in China. He developed training courses for local doctors and nurses, and wrote books so that they could learn about how he treated the sick.Dr Bethune often worked very hard without resting or taking care of himself. Once, he even worked for sixty-nine hours without stopping and managed to save over a hundred lives. One day in 1939, he cut his finger during an operation, but he continued his work without treating it. In the end, he died of his wound.Dr Bethune's work for the Chinese people made him a hero in China. There are many books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both China and Canada today.Module 4 Home aloneUnit 1 I can look after myself, although it won’t be easy for meMum: Now, what's our train number?Dad: T27 to Lhasa. It's leaving from Platform 2.Mum: The meeting in Lhasa is very important for us, but I'm sorry you can't come with us, Betty.Betty: So am I, but I can't miss two weeks of school.Mum: Will you remember everything I've told you? Be especially careful with the door. Shut it when you're in and lock it when you go out.Betty: Yes. Mum. l can look after myself, although it won't be easy for me. Mum: Well, make sure you eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. And I've left lots of your favourite biscuits.Betty: Don't worry. I can cook simple meals.Dad : There won't be anybody to wake you up in the morning.Betty: I'll be fine. My clock rings so loudly that it will certainly wake me up.

Have a good trip!Mum: Bye, my dear!Betty: Bye! See you in a couple of weeks!Unit 2 I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.My "perfect holiday"As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did everything for me. Actually, they managed every minute of my life. Although they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. "Zheng Chenyu, do your homework!" "Practise the piano!" "Turn off the TV!" I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Now was my chance! I could have some fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked the games so much that I played until mid-night.The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without breakfast, but I was still late. The teacher asked me for my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball with my classmates!I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long.When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped my father's cup when I was cooking! I found myself so bad at simple cooking tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wanted Mum and Dad to come home soon. Mum cooked such delicious food, and made sure I never forgot my homework. Dad always helped me with any difficult questions, and told funny jokes when I was unhappy. Then I realised being home alone was not always perfect.When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my home alone story and we all laughed.Module 5 MuseumsUnit 1 Don’t cross that rope!(Betty, Lingling and Daming are on the second floor of a museum.)Betty: What a wonderful museum!Lingling: It's great, isn't it? Let's go to the Animal Room upstairs. I need some information for my project.Betty: Me too. Let's go. Wait, where's Daming?Lingling: There he is. What's he doing over there?Daming : Hey, Betty!

Guard: Don't worry, Miss. Go downstairs to the lost and found office. They might have it.Lingling: That phone is new! I have to find it, or Mum will punish me!Betty: I'm sure it will be all right, Lingling. Let's go and see.Daming： Yes, let's go downstairs.Unit 2 If you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science MuseumThe Science Museum in LondonBy Tony SmithWelcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different... It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you.I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communications and the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you sec inside your body. The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again. On the fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor!The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is my favouritemuseum in the whole world!Module 6 ProblemsUnit 1. If I start after dinner, I’ll finish it before I go to bed. Dad: Tony, you're playing the guitar again. Have you done your homework'? Tony: No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed. Anyway, you wanted me to learn an instrument. Dad: I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home from school. If you start now, you'll finish it before dinner. Tony: Yes, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do volunteer work.Dad: So you're not going to do your home work now?Tony: No, it isn’t necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.Dad: That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much. Tony: Why not? I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there. Dad: No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you won't have time to study.Tony: You mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the world?Dad: That's not the point. You should consider what the most important thing is.I don't want you to fail your exams.Tony: But.....Dad: You can't do anything before you finish your homework. I'm sorry, but that's my last word.Unit 2 If you tell him the truth now, you will show that you are honest. Do you have a problem? Write to Diana at New Standard Magazine and ask for her advice. Dear Diana,Last week, my friend David came round with a new computer game and asked to playit on my dad’s computer. I was worried, because I should ask my dad before I usehis computer. He uses it for his work, and I can only use it for my homework. Thereason is that he thinks it will go wrong if I play games on it.Well, while my dad was out, we decided to try out David's game. We copied itto the computer, and after we finished playing, we took it off the computer. However,when I started the computer again to check if everything was OK, some of my dad'sdocuments were missing. Then, when my dad used the computer last night, he was reallyangry. He could no longer find the documents anywhere! They were very important ones.I did not tell him about the computer game because I did not want him to be angrywith me. Now I feel terrible. I am not sure whether a computer engineer can get thedocuments back. Should I tell him about the computer game?Should I pay to repair it?Yours,SteveDear Steve.Oh, dear! You have made two mistakes. It is bad enough that you used your dad'scomputer to play games when he told you not to. And it is even worse thatyou did not tell him about it. If you tell him the truth now, he will be angry withyou, but at least you will show that you are honest.You should apologise to your father. You should also pay the bill to repair thecomputer. If you offer to give up your pocket money, your father will realise thatyou are very sorry.Remember, next time, play football with David and not computer games!Best wishes.DianaModule 7 Great booksUnit 1 We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideasMr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What’s up?Betty: I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.Mr Jackson: So, who are your great writers?Betty: Well, maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: Really? I accept that they’re great because their works are still read by many people today. But I think I’d describe Confucius more as ateacher and thinker than a writer. He was a very wise man. What do youhave to do for the discussion?Betty: Well, each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion.Mr Jackson: I see. We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas, and Shakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to us today. People havealways read, and will always read great books. By the way, what do youthink of Mark Twain, the great American writer in the nineteenthcentury?Betty: He was important, but I suppose he isn’t as well-known as Confucius or Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular, and one of his books is my favourite, The Adventure of Tom Sawyer.Betty: Great! Why don’t you join in the discussion and tell us about it?Unit 2 It is still read and lovedA book review of The Adventure of Tom SawyerBy Betty KingOne of my favourite great books is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain. The story is set in the town of St Petersburg, Missouri, the US, in the nineteenth century. It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.Tom, the hero of the book, lives with his aunt Polly. He is a lively and clever boy. He does not like people telling him what to do, so he always gets into trouble. He and his best friend, Huck Finn, run away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him. Later, Tom escapes from a cave with another friend, Becky. He also finds Injun Joe’s treasure box and takes it away.My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Huck start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River. At first, they are happy. But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead, they feel very sorry, so they come back home. They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours coming to their funeral in the church. Then, Tom and Huck suddenly appear. Everyone is surprised to see them at first, but very pleased to find that they are alive.The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It is more than an adventure story. Mark Twain wrote it in 1876. It describes people’s lives in the southern states of America at that time. It tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions. It is written in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and loved by peopleall over the world, and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.Module 8 Sports lifeUnit 1 Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last year Lingling: Hi, Tony, you look tired.Tony: Yes, I’m training for the big match next week.Betty: Who are you playing against?Tony: HAS.Lingling: What does HAS stand for?Tony: Haidian All Stars.Betty: Oh, yes. It’ll be a difficult match. Didn’t they beat you last time? Tony: Yes, they did. But…Lingling: What was the score?Betty: If my memory is correct, HAS 98 points to BIG 52.Tony: But Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last time. That was a bad decision.We can’t play well without him.Lingling: That’s no excuse!Tony: But Daming is back now. There’s no difference between the two teams this season.Betty: When is the match?Tony: It’s next Saturday at noon, but if you want good seats, you should come by 11:30. Are you coming?Betty: I’m not sure. Do you think they’ll win, Lingling?Lingling: No way! How many matches have you played against HAS this year? Tony: Well, about three.Betty: And how many have HAS won?Tony: Er… most of them.Betty: Wrong! All of them! Face the truth, Tony. You’ve got no chance!Tony: I don’t agree. That’s not fair! (Tony leaves angrily.)Lingling: Remember to throw the ball, not knick it, Tony!Betty: He’s so mad at us that he’ll try harder to win, just to show we’re wrong! Lingling: Nice work, Betty! I do hope they win this time. We’ll be there to cheer for them.Unit 2 He was invited to competitions around the world.Liu Xiang---trained to win!For Liu Xiang, life as a sports hero began in 2004. First, he was invited to competitions around the world. Then, he was chosen for the Chinese team at the Athens Olympic Games and won a gold medal.Liu Xiang was not a successful sportsman at first. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July 1983, and started training when he was very young. In Grade 4, he went to the Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train for the high jump.In 1998, Liu Xiang’s ability in hurdling was noticed by Sun Haiping, who later became his coach. In 2001, a special programme was set up to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu Xiang was among them. His races were recorded, and he was compared with the world’s best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change his training methods for Liu Xiang.In May 2001, Liu Xiang won his first international 110m hurdles race in Japan. In 2004, he won the first Olympic gold medal for China in the 110m hurdles race, and at the same time broke the Olympic Games record. It was also the first time an Olympic gold medal for hurdling was hung round the neck of a sportsperson from an Asian country.Liu Xiang trained very hard. In fact, he trained so hard that he hurt his foot. From 2008 on, he suffered a lot from his foot problem, but he did not give up. Thoughhe missed some competitions, he still returned to first place in the world 110m hurdles race in 2012.It is a pity that his foot problem stopped him from completing the 2012 London Olympic Games. But he is still a symbol of courage and success, and we continue to take great pride in him.Module 9 Great inventionsUnit 1 Will computers be used more than books in the future? Tony: Dad, can I borrow your camera?Dad: Why?Tony: I’d like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week.They’ll be put up on the school website. And they can be seen on the Internet by other classes, even people living in other countries.Dad: Sounds great! When I was at school, we waited for weeks to hear from our pen friends abroad. But today, we can send and receive photos and mails on the Internet, and it’s really fast.Tony: Yes, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives. We even use online textbooks in our class. I wonder… Will computers be used more than books in the future?Dad: Perhaps. In the past, we mainly got information from paper books. Some are huge ones with thousands of pages. Today, with the invention of the computer and the electronic technology, it’s easy to get information on the Internet.The Internet is more powerful than books.Tony: Anyway, about the camera…?Dad: Oh, yes. Here it is. I haven’t used it since your mum’s birthday. And the memory may be full.Tony: OK. That can be fixed. I’ve got an empty memory card. Where are the instructions?Dad: In the camera bag. It’s a gift from your mum for my birthday, so you must promise that you’ll take good care of it. if you have to lend it to anyone, tell them to use it properly.Tony: Promise!Unit 2 Will books be replaced by the Internet?Every morning, my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day, I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. And very night, I look at the photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make a book. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result, there were not many books, and they were expensive. So, few people had the chance to learn to read.Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply.A trade in books resulted, and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spreadfaster than ever before. In a way, we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast, and may become more powerful than printing. A much larger amount of information can be stored on the Internet than in books. Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find in printed forms. And the machines we use to read it are now small and light, often smaller and lighter than a single book.Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future? Will books be replaced by the Internet? Le t’s wait and see.Module 10 AustraliaUnit 1 I have some photos that I took in Australia last year Tony: Dad, I need your help. My teacher asked us to choose a country we want to visit, imagine we were there, and write a letter to our parents back home. I’ve chosen Australia. How can I do it?Dad: Don’t worry. I have some photos that I took in Australia last year. They may help you. Here we go. This is a rock called Ayers Rock, in central Australia.According to the local people, it’s a special and magical place.Tony: Oh, it looks huge. What’s its height?Dad: 348 meters. And this is the Sydney Opera House. It’s like a huge sailing boat with water on three sides. And this one is the Great Barrier Reef.Tony: Does it lie off the northeast coast of Australia?。

新外研版英语九年级上下全册课文电子稿word版M1U2 P4The greatest wonder of the natural worldWhen I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.After about a kilometer, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I aske d. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was sill too dark to see anything.Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. . I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometres below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon . How far is it? It’s 20 kilometres , maybe more. Finally , I looked to my left and to my left and to my right , and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distanc e … over 400 kilometres long . The Grand Canyon is not just big . It’s huge!That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question . It’s not “How deep is it ?” or “How wide is it ?” or “How long is it ? ” but “Is the Grand Canyon the greates t wonder anywhere in the natural world ? ” I know the answer. But what do you think?M2U2P12The adventures of Tom SawyerHere is our monthly article on a favourite great book. This month, our guest Writer is Mr Jackson.My favourite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg, Missouri. He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of gold.My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The themes of the story are to do with children growing up and becoming more serious. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviourWhy do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876. but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on—read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.M3U2P20Liu Xiang- trained for goldSports yearbook 2004For Liu Xiang, life as a sporting hero has just begun .First of all, he'll be invited to competitions around the world. He'll be chosen to represent China at the Olympic Games. He's a symbol of China's international sporting success.And now that he's well known all over the world .Liu Xiang will also be asked to appear in advertisements and films, and even to record music. But his coach Sun Haiping is making sure that he trains regularly .Liu Xiang will be advised by his coach on how to be a great sportsman and by his manager on how to be a star.Liu Xiang is not an overnight success. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July, 1983 and, like many Olympic sports stars, he started training when to the Junior Sports School of putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train as a high jumper. Then, in 1998,his skill at hurdling was noticed by his coach Sun Haiping.Liu Xiang was helped by a special programme. It was set up in 2001 to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu's races were recorded with the world's best sports stars .Sun Haiping used the information to change Liu's training programme. In 2002 he won his first international 110m hurdles event in Switzerland, and in the same year, a gold medal at the Asian Games inKorea .In 2004, Liu won the first Olympic gold medal in the same event for China in Athens, Greece.So what's next for Liu Xiang? Has he found out that there's more to life than training? Will he be encouraged to spend more time away from sport?No, Liu Xiang will go for more medals for China because he was trained for gold!M4U2P28Can books be replaced by computers?by Tony SmithEvery morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. The first printed books were made by putting ink on a wooden block and holding the paper against it. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly, in a way that can be compared with the introduction of the Internet in the 20th century.But will books be needed in the future? Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept onCD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players. These machines are smaller and lighter than books so that they can be carried very easily.Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!M5U2P36The Science Museum in Londonby Tony Smith The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there's no shouting and no running, and you aren't allowed to touch the exhibits. But the Science Museum is different… because it's noisy! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it's a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button. If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry.You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can stay as long as you like-it’s open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favourite museum in the whole world.M6u2p44How to be greenBy Zhao Ming How green are you? Do you care about protecting the environment and saving energy? Try these questions and see.Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school?Do you buy new clothes just because they are the latest fashions?Do you open a window instead of turning on air conditioning?Do you buy things produced locally instead of made abroad?Do you take your own cloth bag when shopping instead of using plastic bags?Do you sort the waste before throwing it away?We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you. Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.ReduceReduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going in to the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary – or may be the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.ReuseReuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.RecycleRecycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to changeso mething into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.M7U2 P58Dear Mum and Dad,I’m writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment we’re staying near Uluru —that’s the Aboriginal name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a helicopter tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high. The colours of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient Aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a centre of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives and they’re like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but the games that they love the most are football, cricket and rugby. Because most Australians live near the coast, they love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it’s December, it’s summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.Most Australians speak English, although they have some special expressions such as “Good day!” and “No worries, mate.” They mean “Hello!” and “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a problem!”The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper, and I got very tired. Everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down …Finally, later this evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It’s been a fantastic trip!Love,TonyM8U2 P66Results of student photo competitionWe were very pleased with the photo competition. Compared with other years, we received many more photos. Even though all of the ph otos are excellent, we can’t give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.The person who won the prize for the Most Beautiful Nature photography is fifteen-year-old Li Wei. Li took photos of the mountains in X iangshan Park. The park isn’t far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it very well.The photo which we liked best in the Historic China group was taken by Zhao Min. Zhao is only 12 years old. Her photo is of Tian’an men Square, the largest public square in the world. It’s 880 metres from north to south and 500 metres wide at the northern end. Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.The best photo in the Music category was taken by He Zhong. His photo of this year’s best band Crazy Feet shows the singer. Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great new band, and the fun which their fans are having.A collection of photos called “The many Faces of Our City” which features Beijing won the prize for the Most Unusual category. Three pupils at the same school worked on this entry. It includes photos of different parts of the city, old and new. It successfully shows the rich culture which makes Beijing so famous.Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition. We are very lucky that the famous photographer John William is in China to talk about his new book. He has agreed to present the prizes at the prize giving ceremony at the end of this month.M9U2 P74Cartoon heroesNemo, a cute orange-and-white fish, and Shriek, a huge green monster, have won the hearts of young people in China and the all over the world . The heroes of popular cartoons are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and computer screens.But there are some cartoon favorites which are older. The cartoon of the monkey King has just had its “40th birthday”. Called havoc in Heaven, it tells the story of a monkey who leads a group of monkeys against the rule of the Emperor in heaven. He flies into a peach garden and ears as many peaches as he likes. He makes a mess in each room in heaven. But it is above all the jokes played by the monkey that people remember. “Havoc in heaven” has become a common expression used by a parent or a boss when they return to the house or office and see a mess. Another favorite who has celebrated an important birthday in China is a reporter with hair and a small white dog. Tintin has traveled to the jungles, the backstretch of Shanghai and even the surface of the moon. Tintin has been popular for 75 years, ever since Belgian cartoonist Here invented the character in 1929. His books have been translated into more than 50 languages, and about 200 million copies have been sold. In December 1984 the whole series of Tintin began to be published in China. Many Chinese still keep collections of these black-and-white Tintin books. There are several fan clubs in China which have held birthday parties for Tintin in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Wuhan.Finally, Snoopy, Charlie Brown’s lovable dog who lives in his own private dream world, also had his “50th birthday” celebrated by China’s Snoopy fans in 2000.“I didn’t draw the cartoons only for children. Adults who have experienced li fe understand them better,” said the late Charles Schultz, creator of Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons.M10U2 P82Feed me betterJamie Oliver is a young cook who wants to improve school dinners. In 2005 he went back to school to see what the children were eating.1 ______________________________Jamie asked the children what their meals were like. “We hamburgers and chips, or pizza,” they told him, “and sometimes there is fruit, but we prefer ice cream.” Jamie thought the menu was terrible. The children were eating junk food, and it was a problem. Junk food isn’t just bad for the body. Children whose midday meals were unhealthy were difficult to teach in the afternoon. Teachers said that children behaved very badly after lunch.2 _______________________________When Jamie took vegetables into class, the children didn’t know what they were. Jamie realized that the children didn’t know about healthy food. Then he talked to the people who worked in the kitchens. He found out that t hey didn’t know enough about food and health, and they didn’t have very much money to spend.3 ________________________________He decided to teach the cooks and the children about healthy food. It was hard work! He cooked healthy meals for them including meat, rice, pasta and vegetables, but a lot of the teenagers refused to eat the new food. Jamie showed them why the junk food wasn’t healthy. In the end, when Jamie persuaded them to try his cooking, they like it!4 ________________________________Jamie talked to the government. He told them they need to ban junk food from schools, train the cooks, educate the children and spend more money on school dinners. A lot of parents, teachers and children agreed with him. The newspapers wrote articles about him, and a TV programme showed his visits to the school. Jamie is a cook whose ideas are changing school dinners all over Britain.M11U2 P90Visions of the cityJo is 15 and lives in Parkville. When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville 50 years ago, it was a quiet country village in the centre of the country. At that time, they had a small house on the edge of town, with some fields and the hills in the distance.But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick, with about 200,000 people. People from the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life. And of course they needed somewhere to live. However, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge of the city. And soon, Parkville became a suburb of Arnwick. It now has over a million people. Jo’s family live in one of those new flats —there’s no room for small houses any more.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago. Jo goes to a school close to the centre of Arnwick, with 2,000 pupils. No one knows all their names.It takes Jo an hour to get to school, and this adds to the traffic and pollution. But it’s not her fault. She liked her old school.Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, better public transport and fewer private cars. There need to be more shops and offices. It also needs clean water and no rubbish in the streets. It’s difficult to run a big city, and to protect people from crime. So it also needs more laws and more police, and more taxes to pay for everything.Well, what do you think of all this? Do you like the things which are happening in Parkville? In fact, “Visions of the city” is just a story. But does your town have the same problems a s Arnwick?M12U2 P98Learn English in Los AngelesWe provide summer English courses which are the best you can find.

Lin often dreamed about the train, and about going to the capital. Now it was in front of him, to set off soon. He looked at his brother."Don't forget where you come from, little brother," Jin said. "And watch your bags carefully."Lin nodded, unable to speak. This was his first long trip by train at the start of his new life, leaving his village and his home for the last 16 years.He held Jin in his arms. With tears in his eyes, Jin pushed Lin away. "Go, brother. Write to us as soon as you get there, OK?"Lin jumped onto the train. There were people and bags everywhere. He pushed past them towards his seat.A young man was sitting in Lin's seat. He was wearing jeans and a very smart jacket, and was smoking a cigarette.What should he do? Six pairs of eyes looked at Lin, while the man looked out of the window."Sir, you're sitting in my seat," Lin said, with a nervous smile. The other people watched with interest.The man didn't turn to look at Lin, but just looked out of the window."Excuse me. I have a ticket with the number of the seat you're sitting in!" Lin said in a stronger voice."I also have a ticket with that number—though it is in another car. Besides, I was here first," said the man, without moving his head. Though he was sitting, he looked very tall and strong.Lin looked at the other passengers for help. "But ... " he started to say."But what?" The man turned and looked at Lin. "I'm not moving."Finally a man wearing glasses spoke in a loud voice. "This young man has the right ticket for that seat. You should move."Lin felt brave. "See? Please move. I've got a long way to go.""How long?" the young man asked."To the last stop, Beijing.""I'm getting off before you. Then you can have my seat. ""Where is that?" asked Lin."Hangzhou."Lin thought Hangzhou was far away."It's seven hours away from here," the man with glasses said. "Even if it's only 10 minutes, you should move."Slowly the young man stood up, dropped his cigarette on the floor, and disappeared down the train.Module 2 P12My School LifeMy name is Sally Maxwell, and I'm 15. I've been at Park School, London since I was 11. If I pass my exams next year, I'll stay here until I'm 18.Park School is a secondary school, about 20 minutes by bike away from home. Before I came here, I went to primary school, near my home. I started primary school when I was five and stayed there for six years.The schoolday is from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. We spend the first 10 minutes in our classroom while our teacher checks which pupils are present or absent. Then everyone goes to the main hall. There our head teacher makes a speech and tells us any news about the school. Lessons begin at 9:05 and last for an hour. We have a break at 11:05 until 11:20, then another lesson, then lunch for an hour. We have two more lessons before school finishes.This year I have 11 subjects: maths, biology, chemistry, French, history, geography, music and IT, PHSE, ADT and PE (these stand for Information Technology; Personal Health and Safety Education; Art, Design and Technology and Physical Education). Fortunately, we don't have exams in every subject. PHSE is about the dangers of drugs and smoking, among other things. In ADT we also do things like learning to cook as well as drawing and design. Some people can do Italian and Spanish instead of French, but no one is learning Chinese ... yet! PE involves physical exercise, basketball, training in the gym and swimming—we're really lucky to have a swimming pool.I took exams when I was 7, 10, and 14 years old. Next year I take my exams in eight subjects, and then I can do between three and five subjects for the exams in my final year.We have a large sports ground where we play football, tennis and do athletics both during and after school hours. After-school activities, such as sports clubs and language societies are popular, too. During the school year there are usually visits to museums and galleries, and to camps for activities, such as climbing and cycling in the country. There are parties and discos and a sports day, and the school play is a really important event. Once a term, there is a parents' meeting, so our parents and teachers can talk about our progress.What's the best thing about school? English, history, music ... and my friends. What's the worst thing? Homework ... and exams!Module 3 P20Life in the PastMrs Li is over 70 years old, and has lived in Beijing all her life. I asked her about life todayand in the past.Tell me about your parents, brothers and sisters.My parents, my sister and three brothers lived in a small house beside a restaurant. We weren't very rich, but we were happy. My sister was the eldest child and she left school when she was only 12 to help my mother at home.Families have changed a lot since I was young. They were much bigger in those days. Most of my friends had lots of brothers and sisters. Today most people only have one child!Did your parents have jobs?My father went out to work. He was a factory worker, and he often worked 12 hours a day. My mum wanted to work. She was a teacher before she met my father. Looking after us was a full-time job, so she stayed at home. Today it's normal for married women to go out to work, but it was less common in the past. My father had the same job the whole of his working life. These days people change their jobs much more often.What was life like at home?Well, I remember the family meals, three times a day. My mother was always cooking for us. We weren't rich but we ate enough. And the food was always freshly cooked—my mother never bought ready-made food as people do today, so it was much better for us. And of course we didn't have television, so we played games together and read a lot. I helped my younger brother with his homework in the evenings.Where did you meet your husband?I first met him 60 years ago. I was carrying some heavy bags on my bike and I fell off! He stopped and picked up my bags. My parents liked him, and thought he came from a good family so we got married a year later. I was only 19.These days most couples meet at work, and they just hope their parents will be happy for them if they marry.Has Beijing changed?Yes, there are lots more buildings and so much more traffic! I can't believe the number of cars on the streets. But I suppose it's the same everywhere. And I walk less these days and take the bus more.And do you think life is better today?Well, I think so. I'm healthier than I've ever been. We live longer and we eat better. One day I'll be talking to your own grandchildren!Module 4 P28-29Looking Cool1. What do you look for when you go shopping for clothes? Do you choose something fashionable ... or comfortable? Do you like to look different? Or do you wear the same clothes as your friends? Do you go for this year's colours? Is it the logo—the company symbol—that。
(完整版)新外研版英语九年级上课文
Module 1When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.After about a mile, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,”he replied. “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it.Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was looking across the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.I looked down to the Colorado River, from here a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of the each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still wouldn’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It’s about fifteen miles, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away, about 277 miles long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It’s huge!I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself, “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?”I certainly know the answer. But what do you think?Module 2Thanksgiving is an American festival. People give thanks for their food. It’s celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November and it’s a time for a special dinner among family and friends.We’ve celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn, catch fish and keep cows, sheep and hens. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food.We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is the most crowded room in our house because we all help to prepare the food there. We lay the table, then before we begin dinner, my father gives praise for the food, so we remember where the festival comes from. We usually eat too much, but it’s only once a year! We often listen to speeches and tell stories after dinner as well. When it’s all over everyone helps wash the dishes.The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. After we finish the Thanksgiving Day festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, along with thousands of people as it goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy’s Store. Thanksgiving is also the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.Module 3My hero—Dr Norman BethuneNorman Bethune is one of China’s most famous heroes. He was Canadian, but he spent his life in China, living with the Chinese, helping them and dying for them. Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916, and he went to Spain in 1936 to treat the wounded forces during the war there. He soon realized that many people were dying because they did not get to hospital quickly enough. Dr Bethune developed new ways of taking care of the sick, and invented special medical tools to use outside hospitals and close to the fighting so that doctors could treat the wounded more quickly. His discoveries saved many lives.In 1938 he came to China to treat the wounded in the mountains north of Yan’an. At the time, there were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own. His experience of treating people in Spain was useful in China, and he opened hospitals for local people as well. He also developed training courses for doctors and nurses, and wrote books so that doctors could learn about how he treated the sick.Dr Bethune worked very hard without resting or taking care of himself. Once, he worked for sixty-nine hours without stopping and managed to save 112 lives. Then, one day, he cut his finger during an operation, but he continued his work. In the end, he died of his wound.Dr Bethune’s work with the Chinese soldiers made him a hero in China. There are many books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both Canada and China.Module 4Imagine this situation: Your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone. Will life be as easy as when your parents are around? Will you manage at home alone?When Zheng Chenyu’s parents left her alone, she was worried. “Although I often go shopping with my mother, I didn’t know what to buy or what to do with it.”The fifteen-year-old girl said that she knew hardly anything about cooking.“I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup, and make a cup of tea though that’s all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We teenagers don’t know how to look after ourselves,” said Zheng. “I’m so careless that I always forget something important. Two weeks ago I burnt the soup while I was watching television. And then I dropped the bowl.Although Zheng believes that basic life skills such as cooking and washing clothes are especially important, she doesn’t think young people get enough practice.“As soon as we leave home, we’ll learn to cook, but at the moment, we’re so lazy that our parents do almost everything for us.” she said.For most teenagers, their main task is to do their homework. They don’t learn any life skills until they go to college.However, Sima Yige doesn’t agree. His parents are going away next week.“I think I’ll be all right. I won’t just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook some dishes, although they’re quite simple,” the thirteen-year-old boy said. In his opinion,many young people depend too much on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like tidying up your room or even getting dressed”.For most school children, it’s no holiday when their parents are away. It’s more like real life in the future!Module 5Welcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there’s no shouting and no running, and you mustn’t touch anything. But the Science Museum is different… it’s noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you.On the ground floor is the Launchpad. This is my favourite room because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how we travel into space and back again.Upstairs is the Human and Nature Room. There you can compare the speed of different animals with your own. When you hear a noise you push a key. If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.I also like to visit the other rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communication, environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how X-ray let you see inside your body. And in one room they even explain how they dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy.The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages, as long as you follow the rules. You cannot take photos, but if you want postcards, you can buy them in the shop. The museum is free to enter, so you go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It’s open every day from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favourite museum in the whole world.Module 6Dear Diana,Last week, my friend David came round with a new computer game and asked to play it on my father’s computer. I was worried, because I should ask my father before I use his computer. He uses it for his work and I can only use it for my homework. The reason is that he thinks it’ll go wrong if I play games on it.Well, while my dad was out, we decided to try out David’s game. We copied it to the computer, and at the end of the game, we took it off. However, when I started the computer again to check if everything was OK, some of my dad’s records were missing.Then, when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. He could no longer find the records anywhere! They were very important ones.I didn’t tell him about the computer game because I didn’t want him to be angry with me. Should I tell him about the computer game? Should I play to repair it?Yours,SteveDear Steve,Oh dear! You’ve made two mistakes. It’s bad enough that you used your dad’s computer when he told you no to. You should never do that. But it’s even worse that you didn’t tell him about it. If you tell him the truth now, he’ll be angry with you, but at least you’ll show how honest you are.Then you should pay the bill to repair it. But you shouldn’t use your pocket money—after all, your parents gave you that money. If you offer to do some jobs around the home, he’ll realise that you’re very sorry.Oh, and next time, play football with David!Best wishes,DianaModule 7My favourite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in St Petersburg, Missouri, the US, and is a lively and clever boy. Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important people in the book. His good friend Huck Finn lives outside the community, and everyone is afraid of him. Joe is another friend of Tom’s. Becky is a lovely girl with fair hair, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.Tom has many adventures. In one part of the book, he runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. Another time, Tom goes with Huck to look for treasure. With Becky he gets lost in a dark place, and finally, they find a box full of money.My favourite part in the book is when everyone thinks Tom and Huck are dead. They decide to go to the church, and see their family and neighbours. They have come to remember them. Tom hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears. At first everyone is surprised to see him, but then they’re just pleased to see him alive. The story is about growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about what it’s like to be free, law and order in society, and how bad people pay for their actions.Why do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? It’s as American as apple pie, and although Mark Twain wrote it in 1876, it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. It’s written in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the nineteenth century, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest American stories. Go on—read it! I know you’ll enjoy it too. Module 8For Liu Xiang, life as a sports hero began in 2004. First, he was invited to competitions around the world. Then he was chosen for the Chinese team at the Olympic Games.But Liu Xiang was not a success immediately. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July, 1983 started training when he was very young. In Grade Four, he went to the Junior Sports School of Putuo District of Junior. Liu was encouraged at first to train for the high jump.Then, in 1998, Liu Xiang’s ability in hurdling (running and jumping)was noticed by his coach Sun Haiping. A special programme was set up in 2001 to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. LiuXiang’s races were recorded, and he was compared with the world’s best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change his training methods for Liu Xiang.In 2002 Liu Xiang won his first international 110 hurdles race in Switzerland, and in the same year, a gold at the Asia Games. Then, in 2004, Liu won the first Olympic gold for China and in the same time as the world record. It was also the first time an Olympic gold for running or hurdling was hung round the neck of a sportsperson from any Asian country. Later Liu Xiang went on to win competitions in Europe and the Middle East.Liu Xiang trained very hard. In fact he trained so hard that he hurt his foot. From 2008 on he suffered a lot from his foot problem and was often absent from competitions.Although no one is sure about his future in sport, Liu Xiang is a symbol of courage and success, and we continue to have great pride in him.Module 91 Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night I look at the photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?2Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China and was made of silk, bamboo, grass and later, wood. People learnt to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result, there weren’t many books, and they were expensive. So, few people learnt to read.3Then printing was invented in China. The first printed books were made by placing wood blocks against paper. An important development in printing in the Western world took place in the fifteenth century. They found a way to produce books more quickly and cheaply. As a result, a trade in books developed, and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spread quickly, and we can compare this change to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.4 But will books be needed in the future? Today information is found online more easily than in books and is kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players. These machines are smaller and lighter than books so that they are very easy to carry.5 computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future? Will computers be used more than printed books and photos in the future? No, I can only afford a Yao Ming photo on my bedroom wall, not a computer screen two metres high!Module 10Dear Mum and Dad,I’m writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment we’re staying near Uluru. On the first day, we took a plane tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high. During different periods of the day, the colours of the rock turn dark blue, purple, yellow and red. The Aborigines are the people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times, and their ancient stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a centre ofAboriginal culture.The Australians have a close relationship with the British. They have many British relatives and they’re like us in many ways. The food that Australians like most are ham and beef with lots of salad. They also grow grapes and other fruit. They love all sports, but the game that they like most is Australian football. Because most Australians live near the coast, they love going to the beach for swimming and surfing.Although it’s December, it’s summer over there. The sun is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the middle of the country has no trees or grass, just rocks and sand… And kangaroos!Most Australians speak English, although they say “Gooday!”and “No worries.”They mean “Hello” and “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a problem!”The next day after we arrived in Uluru, we went up on a horse ride. The horse that I rode was sleepy. It just lay on the ground most of the time…Finally, later this evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It’s been a wonderful trip.Love,TonyModule 11We were very happy with our photo competition this year. Compared with other years, we received many more photos. Even though all of the photos are excellent, we can’t give prizes to everyone. There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are…The person who won the prize for the subject Nature is fifteen-year-old Li Wei. Li Wei took a photo of the tallest hill in Xiangshan Park. His photo shows the different colours on the hill.The photo which we liked best in the City and People group was taken by Zhao Min. Zhao Ming is only twelve years old. Her photo is of a single person rushing across a street somewhere in northern China on a grey wearing blouse and skirt, who is holding her books over her head to protect herself against the showers.The best photo in the Music group was taken by He Zhong. His photo of the group Crazy Feet shows the singer, Beck Wang and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen. He Zhong manages to show how this great new band moves and sounds, and the good time which their fans are having.A number of photos which Beijing and Cambridge in England have won the prize for the subject Home and Away. They show some of the experiences of a young visitor to our country, and some memories of his home. The winner is Tony Smith. Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition. Tonight we’re all having dinner together, and on the menu is traditional Beijing duck. We are very lucky that famous John Williams is in China to talk about his new book of photos, and will present the prizes to the winners.Module 12How to be greenBy Wang LingingHow green are you? Try these questions and see.●Do you walk or ride a bike to school?●Do you buy new clothes just because they are modern?●Do you buy things produced locally and not made abroad?●Do you take your own bag when shopping and not ask for a plastic bag?●Do you buy drinks in bottles? And what do you do with the bottles when they’reempty?●Do you divide the waste into things to recycle and things to throw away?We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it’s harmful to our environment. Repeat these three words every day: Reduce, reuse and recycle. ReduceReduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. It saves money, causes less pollution , and less waste goes into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary, because maybe the used one is just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products, and try not to buy too many things from abroad. ReuseReuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. Look after them so that they will last. Repair them if possible. Don’t throw away and buy new ones. Don’t use us a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunchbox because you can use them again.RecycleRecycle means “change things into something else to be reused”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. We throw tons of rubbish away each year, and we have to stop. Divide your rubbish into plastic, glass, paper and rubber. Develop a recycling policy for the whole community. Buy products such as recycled paper to help save trees.We cannot hope for raid change, but let’s take these simple steps today so that we’ll save the world for our grandsons and granddaughters tomorrow.。

新版外研社九年级英语上册课文完整Module
外研社(2014新版)九年级英语上册课文（Module 1—12）Module1 Wonders of the worldUnit 1 It’s more than 2,000 years old.Tony: Let's call Wonders of the World and join in the discussion. I think natural wonders are more interesting than man-made ones. And I think the Giant's Causeway is the mostfantastic natural wonder.Lingling: Hm, I’ve never seen it, so I'm not sure I agree with you. Why do you like it, Tony? Tony: Well, I visited the Giant's Causeway two years ago. It's huge. There're about 40,000 rocks, most of them with six sides. It goes for several hundred metres on the easterncoast of Northern IrelandLingling: That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic. They're about l,700 metres wide and 100 metres high. You can hear the loud noise a fewkilometres away.Betty: Wow, that's huge! But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones. Look at the Terracotta Army. It's more than 2.000 years old.Daming: I agree with you, Betty. And I think the Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. It's about 2,300 metres long, 185 metres high and 15 metres wide at the top. It produces electricityfor millions of people in China.Betty: Now, who'd like to call first?Unit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big.A great wonder of the natural worldWhen I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east -- the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. "Am I going the right way?" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes," Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it.Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world - the Grand Canyon.I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself. "Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world?" I certainly know the answer. What do you think?Module 2 Public HolidaysUnit 1 My family always go somewhere interesting as soon as the holiday begins. Tony: The First of October is China's National Day, isn 't it, Lingling?Lingling: Yes. The People's Republic of China was founded on 1st October 1949. People have celebrated the National Day since then. There are flowers and national flags everywhere,and we have a three-day holiday.Tony: Do you have any plans for the holiday this year?Lingling: Yes. My parents and I are going to visit some friends in Shandong Province and will stay there until the end of the holiday. While we're staying with our friends, we're going tospend one day in Qingdao. When is your national day, Betty'?Betty : Our national day is called Independence Day. It's on 4th July. We've celebrated it since 1777. It's a public holiday, but we only have one day off. On that day, there are all kindsof holiday activities. It's the start of the vacation season and most people take a vacationsometime in July or August.Lingling: And is there anything special on that day?Betty: Well, you can see American flags everywhere. We usually have a picnic somewhere nice.Kids have great fun. We also watch bands play music in public parks.Daming: Do you have a national day in the UK, Tony?Tony: No, we don't --- we celebrate Christmas with a two-day holiday. And my family always go somewhere interesting as soon as the holiday begins.Unit 2 We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers arrived in America.ThanksgivingThanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans,taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food.We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food .We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. We usually eat too much, but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes.The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy's store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.Module 3 HeroesUnit 1 She trained hard, so she became a great player laterMs li: Daming, who is your hero? Who have you chosen to tell us about?Daming: Deng Yaping! She's my hero because she's one of the best table tennis players in the world and I love playing table tennis.Ms Li: Tell us about her.Daming: Well, she started playing table tennis when she was five. She trained hard, so she becamea great player later.Ms Li: And what competitions has she won?Daming: She's won many world competitions, including four gold medals in the Olympics. She stopped playing when she was twenty- four.Ms Li: What did she do after that?Darning: She began to study at Tsinghua University in Beijing and then attended university abroad.Her English wasn't good enough when she began. Once again she worked hard, and sevenyears later, she completed her doctor's degree at Cambridge University. Whatever she does,she never gives up!Ms Li: That's amazing!Daming: Yes. Deng says that she isn't cleverer than anyone else, but she has a very strong will.Ms Li: I see. Well. I think she's a good student as well as a good player.Daming: Yes, and she helped make the Beijing Olympics a victory for world sport. She's simply the best!Ms Li: She's a true hero.Unit 2 There were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his ownMy hero - Dr Norman BethuneBy Wang LinglingNorman Bethune is one of the most famous heroes in China. He was a Canadian doctor. He came to China to help the Chinese people and died for them.Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916 and went to Spain in 1936 to treat the wounded soldiers during the war there. He soon realised that many people were dying because they did not get to hospital quickly enough. Dr Bethune developed new ways of taking care of the sick. He invented special medical tools to use outside hospitals and close to the fighting areasso that doctors could treat the wounded more quickly. His inventions saved many lives.In 1938, Dr Bethune came to China and helped treat the wounded during the Anti- Japanese War. At that time, there were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own. His experience of treating people in Spain was useful in China. He developed training courses for local doctors and nurses, and wrote books so that they could learn about how he treated the sick.Dr Bethune often worked very hard without resting or taking care of himself. Once, he even worked for sixty-nine hours without stopping and managed to save over a hundred lives. One day in 1939, he cut his finger during an operation, but he continued his work without treating it. In the end, he died of his wound.Dr Bethune's work for the Chinese people made him a hero in China. There are many books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both China and Canada today.Module 4 Home aloneUnit 1 I can look after myself, although it won’t be easy for meMum: Now, what's our train number?Dad: T27 to Lhasa. It's leaving from Platform 2.Mum: The meeting in Lhasa is very important for us, but I'm sorry you can't come with us, Betty.Betty: So am I, but I can't miss two weeks of school.Mum: Will you remember everything I've told you? Be especially careful with the door. Shut it when you're in and lock it when you go out.Betty: Yes. Mum. l can look after myself, although it won't be easy for me.Mum: Well, make sure you eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. And I've left lots of yourfavourite biscuits.Betty: Don't worry. I can cook simple meals.Dad : There won't be anybody to wake you up in the morning.Betty: I'll be fine. My clock rings so loudly that it will certainly wake me up.Mum: I'm sure I've forgotten something, but I don't know what it is!(Announcement: We advise all passengers for Train T27 to Lhasa to go immediately toPlatform 2. Your train is about to leave.)Betty: That's your train! Goodbye Mum, goodbye Dad.Mum: I know! I haven’t given you our address in Lhasa!Betty': Send me a text message. Have a good trip!Mum: Bye, my dear!Betty: Bye! See you in a couple of weeks!Unit 2 I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.My "perfect holiday"As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did everything for me. Actually, they managed every minute of my life. Although they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. "Zheng Chenyu, do your homework!" "Practise the piano!" "Turn off the TV!" I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Now was my chance! I could have some fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked thegames so much that I played until mid-night.The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without breakfast, but I was still late. The teacher asked me for my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball with my classmates! I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long.When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped my father's cup when I was cooking! I found myself so bad at simple cooking tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wanted Mum and Dad to come home soon. Mum cooked such delicious food, and made sure I never forgot my homework. Dad always helped me with any difficult questions, and told funny jokes when I was unhappy. Then I realised being home alone was not always perfect.When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my home alone story and we all laughed.Module 5 MuseumsUnit 1 Don’t cross that rope!(Betty, Lingling and Daming are on the second floor of a museum.)Betty: What a wonderful museum!Lingling: It's great, isn't it? Let's go to the Animal Room upstairs. I need some information for my project.Betty: Me too. Let's go. Wait, where's Daming?Lingling: There he is. What's he doing over there?Daming : Hey, Betty! Lingling! Come and see the monkey exhibition!Guard: No shouting, please! It's against the rules.Betty: Oh, no! Daming is in trouble again.Daming: Look at the monkey's tail! I've got to get in here…Gard: Stop! Don't cross that rope! Can't you see the sign, kid? "No entry."Daming: Oh. Why not?Guard: Because it's closed.Lingling: Yes, Daming. Read the sign!Daming : Oh, right. That's no good! Well, I'll just take a photo...Guard: Sorry. No photos. See?Daming: There certainly are a lot of rules in this museum. No wonder the place is empty! Betty: Daming! Don't be rude!Lingling: Oh, no!Betty: What's the matter, Lingling?Lingling: My mobile phone! I t’s missing! Oh, no! What am I going to do?Guard: Don't worry, Miss. Go downstairs to the lost and found office. They might have it. Lingling: That phone is new! I have to find it, or Mum will punish me!Betty: I'm sure it will be all right, Lingling. Let's go and see.Daming：Yes, let's go downstairs.Unit 2 If you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science MuseumThe Science Museum in LondonBy Tony SmithWelcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different... It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. Ifyou want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you.I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communications and the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you sec inside your body.The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again.On the fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor!The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is my favourite museum in the whole world!Module 6 ProblemsUnit 1. If I start after dinner, I’ll finish it before I go to bed.Dad: Tony, you're playing the guitar again. Have you done your homework'?Tony: No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed.Anyway, you wanted me to learn an instrument.Dad: I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home fromschool. If you start now, you'll finish it before dinner.Tony: Yes, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do volunteer work.Dad: So you're not going to do your home work now?Tony: No, it isn’t necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.Dad: That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much.Tony: Why not? I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there.Dad: No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you won't have time to study.Tony: You mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the world?Dad: That's not the point. You should consider what the most important thing is. I don't want you to fail your exams.Tony: But.....Dad: You can't do anything before you finish your homework. I'm sorry, but that's my last word.Unit 2 If you tell him the truth now, you will show that you are honest.Do you have a problem? Write to Diana at New Standard Magazine and ask for her advice.Dear Diana,Last week, my friend David came round with a new computer game and asked to play it on my dad’s computer. I was worried, because I should ask my dad before I use his computer. He uses it for his work, and I can only use it for my homework. The reason is that he thinks it will go wrong if I play games on it.Well, while my dad was out, we decided to try out David's game. We copied it to the computer, and after we finished playing, we took it off the computer. However, when I started the computer again to check if everything was OK, some of my dad's documents were missing. Then, when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. He could no longer find the documents anywhere! They were very important ones.I did not tell him about the computer game because I did not want him to be angry with me. Now I feel terrible. I am not sure whether a computer engineer can get the documents back. Should I tell him about the computer game?Should I pay to repair it?Yours,SteveDear Steve.Oh, dear! You have made two mistakes. It is bad enough that you used your dad's computer to play games when he told you not to. And it is even worse that you did not tell him about it. If you tell him the truth now, he will be angry with you, but at least you will show that you are honest.You should apologise to your father. You should also pay the bill to repair the computer. If you offer to give up your pocket money, your father will realise that you are very sorry.Remember, next time, play football with David and not computer games!Best wishes.DianaModule 7 Great booksUnit 1 We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideasMr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What’s up?Betty: I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.Mr Jackson: So, who are your great writers?Betty: Well, maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: Really? I accept that they’re great because their works are still read by many people today. But I think I’d describe Confucius more as a teacher and thinker than awriter. He was a very wise man. What do you have to do for the discussion? Betty: Well, each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion.Mr Jackson: I see. We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas, and Shakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to us today. People have always read, and will always read greatbooks. By the way, what do you think of Mark Twain, the great American writer inthe nineteenth century?Betty: He was important, but I suppose he isn’t as well-known as Confucius or Shakespeare. Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular, and one of his books is my favourite, The Adventure of Tom Sawyer.Betty: Great! Why don’t you join in the discussion and tell us about it?Unit 2 It is still read and lovedA book review of The Adventure of Tom SawyerBy Betty KingOne of my favourite great books is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain. The story is set in the town of St Petersburg, Missouri, the US, in the nineteenth century. It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.Tom, the hero of the book, lives with his aunt Polly. He is a lively and clever boy. He does not like people telling him what to do, so he always gets into trouble. He and his best friend, Huck Finn, run away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him. Later, Tom escapes from a cave with another friend, Becky. He also finds Injun Joe’s treasure box and takes it away.My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Huck start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River. At first, they are happy. But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead, they feel very sorry, so they come back home. They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours coming to their funeral in the church. Then, Tom and Huck suddenly appear. Everyone is surprised to see them at first, but very pleased to find that they are alive.The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It is more than an adventure story. Mark Twain wrote it in 1876. It describes people’s lives in the southern states of America at that time. It tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions. It is written in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and loved by people all over the world, and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.Module 8 Sports lifeUnit 1 Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last yearLingling: Hi, Tony, you look tired.Tony: Yes, I’m training for the big match next week.Betty: Who are you playing against?Tony: HAS.Lingling: What does HAS stand for?Tony: Haidian All Stars.Betty: Oh, yes. It’ll be a difficult match. Didn’t they beat you last time?Tony: Yes, they did. But…Lingling: What was the score?Betty: If my memory is correct, HAS 98 points to BIG 52.Tony: But Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last time. That was a bad decision. We can’t play well without him.Lingling: That’s no excuse!Tony: But Daming is back now. There’s no difference between the two teams this season. Betty: When is the match?Tony: It’s next Saturday at noon, but if you want good seats, you should come by 11:30. Are you coming?Betty: I’m not sure. Do you think they’ll win, Lingling?Lingling: No way! How many matches have you played against HAS this year?Tony: Well, about three.Betty: And how many have HAS won?Tony: Er… most of them.Betty: Wrong! All of them! Face the truth, Tony. You’ve got no chance!Tony: I don’t agree. That’s not fair! (Tony leaves angrily.)Lingling: Remember to throw the ball, not knick it, Tony!Betty: He’s so mad at us that he’ll try harder to win, just to show we’re wrong!Lingling: Nice work, Betty! I do hope they win this time. We’ll be there to cheer for them.Unit 2 He was invited to competitions around the world.Liu Xiang---trained to win!For Liu Xiang, life as a sports hero began in 2004. First, he was invited to competitions around the world. Then, he was chosen for the Chinese team at the Athens Olympic Games and won a gold medal.Liu Xiang was not a successful sportsman at first. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July 1983, and started training when he was very young. In Grade 4, he went to the Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train for the high jump.In 1998, Liu Xiang’s ability in hurdling was noticed by Sun Haiping, who later became his coach. In 2001, a special programme was set up to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu Xiang was among them. His races were recorded, and he was compared with the world’s best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change his training methods for Liu Xiang.In May 2001, Liu Xiang won his first international 110m hurdles race in Japan. In 2004, he won the first Olympic gold medal for China in the 110m hurdles race, and at the same time broke the Olympic Games record. It was also the first time an Olympic gold medal for hurdling was hung round the neck of a sportsperson from an Asian country.Liu Xiang trained very hard. In fact, he trained so hard that he hurt his foot. From 2008 on, he suffered a lot from his foot problem, but he did not give up. Though he missed some competitions, he still returned to first place in the world 110m hurdles race in 2012.It is a pity that his foot problem stopped him from completing the 2012 London Olympic Games. But he is still a symbol of courage and success, and we continue to take great pride in him.Module 9 Great inventionsUnit 1 Will computers be used more than books in the future?Tony: Dad, can I borrow your camera?Dad: Why?Tony: I’d like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week. They’ll be put up on the school website. And they can be seen on the Internet by other classes, even people living in other countries.Dad: Sounds great! When I was at school, we waited for weeks to hear from our pen friends abroad. But today, we can send and receive photos and mails on the Internet, and it’s really fast.Tony: Yes, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives. We even use online textbooks in our class. I wonder…Will computers be used more than books in the future?Dad: Perhaps. In the past, we mainly got information from paper books. Some are huge ones with thousands of pages. Today, with the invention of the computer and the electronic technology, it’s easy to get information on the Internet. The Internet is more powerful than books. Tony: Anyway, about the camera…?Dad: Oh, yes. Here it is. I haven’t used it since your mum’s birthday. And the memory may be full.Tony: OK. That can be fixed. I’ve got an empty memory card. Where are the instructions? Dad: In the camera bag. It’s a gift from your mum for my birthday, so you must promise that you’ll take good care of it. if you have to lend it to anyone, tell them to use it properly. Tony: Promise!Unit 2 Will books be replaced by the Internet?Every morning, my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day, I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. And very night, I look at the photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make a book. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result, there were not many books, and they were expensive. So, few people had the chance to learn to read.Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply. A trade in books resulted, and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spread faster than ever before. In a way, we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast, and may become more powerful than printing. A much larger amount of information can be stored on the Internet than in books. Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find in printed forms. And the machines we use to read it are now small and light, often smaller and lighter than a single book.Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future? Will books be replaced by the Internet? Le t’s wait and see.Module 10 Australia。

In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see. After about a kilometer, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am “Am I going the right way?”I going the right way?” I aske asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, d. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was sill too dark to see anything. Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. . I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world. I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometres below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, t hey still won’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon . How far is it? It’s 20 kilometres , maybe more. Finally , I looked to my left and to my left and to my right , and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance … over 400 kilometres long . The Grand Canyon is not just big . It’s huge!… over 400 kilometres long . The Grand Canyon is not just big . It’s huge!That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question . It’s not “How deep is it ?” or or “How “How wide wide is is it it ?” ?” or or “How “How long long is is it it ? ? ” ” but but “Is “Is the the Grand Grand Canyon Canyon the the greatest greatest wonder wonder anywhere in the natural world ? ” I know the answer. But what do you think?M2U2P12 The adventures of Tom Sawyer Here is our monthly article on a favourite great book. This month, our guest Writer is Mr Jackson. My favourite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg, Missouri. He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of gold. My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive. Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story. The themes of the story are to do with children growing up and becoming more serious. It describes describes how how strangers strangers are are seen seen in in small small towns towns of of America. America. Finally, Finally, it it talks talks about about freedom freedom social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour Why do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876. but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it ’s only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19thcentury, so it sounds very real. Today it ’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on —read it! I know you ’ll enjoy it, too. M3U2P20 Liu Xiang- trained for gold Sports yearbook 2004 For Liu Xiang, life as a sporting hero has just begun .First of all, he'll be invited to competitions around the world. He'll be chosen to represent China at the Olympic Games. He's a symbol of China's international sporting success. And now that he's well known all over the world .Liu Xiang will also be asked to appear in advertisements and films, and even to record music. But his coach Sun Haiping is making sure that he trains regularly .Liu Xiang will be advised by his coach on how to be a great sportsman and by his manager on how to be a star. Liu Xiang is not an overnight success. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July, 1983 and, like many Olympic sports stars, he started training when to the Junior Sports School of putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train as a high jumper. Then, in 1998,his skill at hurdling was noticed by his coach Sun Haiping. Liu Xiang was helped by a special programme. It was set up in 2001 to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu's races were recorded with the world's best sports stars .Sun Haiping used the information to change Liu's training programme. In 2002 he won his first international 110m hurdles event in Switzerland, and in the same year, a gold medal at the Asian Games in Korea .In 2004, Liu won the first Olympic gold medal in the same event for China in Athens, Greece. So what's next for Liu Xiang? Has he found out that there's more to life than training? Will he be encouraged to spend more time away from sport? No, Liu Xiang will go for more medals for China because he was trained for gold! M4U2P28 Can books be replaced by computers?by Tony Smith Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print? Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read. Then printing was invented in China. The first printed books were made by putting ink on a wooden block and holding the paper against it. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly, in a way that can be compared with the introduction of the Internet in the 20th century. But will books be needed in the future? Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players. These machines are smaller and lighter than books so that they can be carried very easily. Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high! M5U2P36 The Science Museum in London by Tony Smith The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there's no shouting and no running, and you aren't allowed to touch the exhibits. But the Science Museum is different… because it's noisy! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it's a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas. When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again. Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button. If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me. There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry. You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops. it’s open Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can stay as long as you like-every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favourite museum in the whole world.M6u2p44 How to be green By Zhao Ming How green are you? Do you care about protecting the environment and saving energy? Try these questions and see. Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school? Do you buy new clothes just because they are the latest fashions? Do you open a window instead of turning on air conditioning? Do you buy things produced locally instead of made abroad? Do you take your own cloth bag when shopping instead of using plastic bags? Do you sort the waste before throwing it away? We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you. Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle. Reduce Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going in to the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary – or may be the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad. Reuse Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and s better to use a china cup and a lunch a paper cup or a paper bag. It’buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’box because you can use them again. Recycle kes energy to change Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it tamething into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them find out so something into something else, it’what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees. M7U2 P58 Dear Mum and Dad, I’m writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment we’re staying near our Uluru —that’s the Aboriginal name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a helicopter tover the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high. The colours of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient Aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a centre of Aboriginal culture. The Australians have many British relatives and they’re like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but the games that they love the most are football, cricket and rugby. Because most Australians live near the coast, they love going to the beach, swimming and surfing. Although it’s December, it’s summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand. Most Australians speak English, although they have some special expressions such as “Good day!” and “No worries, mate.” They mean “Hello!” and “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a p roblem!”The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper, and I got very tired. Everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down …Finally, later this evening, we’re taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It’s been a fantastic trip! Love, Tony M8U2 P66 Results of student photo competition We were very pleased with the photo competition.

M9U2 P74 Cartoon heroes Nemo, a cute orange-and-white fish, and Shriek, a huge green monster, have won the hearts of young people in China and the all over the world . The heroes of popular cartoons are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and computer screens. But there are some cartoon favorites which are older. The cartoon of the monkey King has just had its “40th birthday”. Called havoc in Heaven, it tells the story of a monkey who leads a group of monkeys against the rule of the Emperor in heaven. He flies into a peach garden and ears as many peaches as he likes. He makes a mess in each room in heaven. But it is above all the jokes played by the monkey that people remember. “Havoc in heaven” has become a common expression used by a parent or a boss when they return to the house or office and see a mess. Another favorite who has celebrated an important birthday in China is a reporter with hair and a small white dog. Tintin has traveled to the jungles, the backstretch of Shanghai and even the surface of the moon. Tintin has been popular for 75 years, ever since Belgian cartoonist Here invented the character in 1929. His books have been translated into more than 50 languages, and about 200 million copies have been sold. In December 1984 the whole series of Tintin began to be published in China. Many Chinese still keep collections of these black-and-white Tintin books. There are several fan clubs in China which have held birthday parties for Tintin in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Wuhan. Finally, Snoopy, Charlie Brown’s lovable dog who lives in his own private dream world, also had his “50th birthday” celebrated by China’s Snoopy fans in 2000. understand “I didn’t draw the cartoons only for children. Adults who have experienced lifethem better,” said the late Charles Schultz, creator of Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons.M10U2 P82 Feed me better Jamie Oliver is a young cook who wants to improve school dinners. In 2005 he went back to school to see what the children were eating. 1 ______________________________ Jamie asked the children what their meals were like. “We hamburgers and chips, or pizza,” they told him, “and sometimes there is fruit, but we prefer ice cream.” Jamie thought the menu was terrible. T he children were eating junk food, and it was a problem. Junk food isn’t just bad for the body. Children whose midday meals were unhealthy were difficult to teach in the afternoon. Teachers said that children behaved very badly after lunch. 2 _______________________________ When Jamie took vegetables into class, the children didn’t know what they were. Jamie realized that the children didn’t know about healthy food. Then he talked to the people who y didn’t know enough about food and health, and worked in the kitchens. He found out that thethey didn’t have very much money to spend.3 ________________________________ He decided to teach the cooks and the children about healthy food. It was hard work! He cooked healthy meals for them including meat, rice, pasta and vegetables, but a lot of the teenagers refused to eat the new food. Jamie showed them why the junk food wasn’t healthy. In the end, when Jamie persuaded them to try his cooking, they like it! 4 ________________________________ Jamie talked to the government. He told them they need to ban junk food from schools, train the cooks, educate the children and spend more money on school dinners. A lot of parents, teachers and children agreed with him. The newspapers wrote articles about him, and a TV programme showed his visits to the school. Jamie is a cook whose ideas are changing school dinners all over Britain. M11U2 P90 Visions of the city arkville 50 years ago, it Jo is 15 and lives in Parkville. When Jo’s grandparents first came to Pwas a quiet country village in the centre of the country. At that time, they had a small house on the edge of town, with some fields and the hills in the distance. But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick, with about 200,000 people. People from the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life. And of course they needed somewhere to live. However, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge of the city. And soon, Parkville became a suburb of Arnwick. It now has over a million people. Jo’s family live in one of those new flats —there’s no room for small houses any more.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago. Jo goes to a school close to the centre of Arnwick, with 2,000 pupils. No one knows all their names. It takes Jo an hour to get to school, and this adds to the traffic and pollution. But it’s not her fault. She liked her old school. Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, better public transport and fewer private cars. There need to be more shops and offices. It also needs clean water and no rubbish in the eds more streets. It’s difficult to run a big city, and to protect people from crime. So it also nelaws and more police, and more taxes to pay for everything. Well, what do you think of all this? Do you like the things which are happening in Parkville? In fact, “Visions of the city” is just a story. But does your town have the same problems as Arnwick?
