Module 1 Travel Unit 2 You're sitting in my seat

Excuse me. 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 f

irst 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 way. "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 jians 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 ticked for that seat. You should move.。”

Ling felt brave. "See ? Please move. I've got a long way to go."

"How long?" the young man ased.

"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.

课文翻译：第一模块 、旅游、第二单元、你坐着我的座位。
对不起，你坐着我的座位。
去北京的火车！
林经常梦见火车，梦见去首都，
现在它、（火车）就在他的面前，并且马上就要出发，他看着他的哥哥。
“别忘了你来自哪里，弟弟。”金说，
“要仔细照看你的行李。” 林点点头，说不出话来。
这是他第一次乘火车长途旅行，开始他的新生活，离开他生活了16年的村庄和家。
他紧紧拥抱着金，眼中噙满了泪水，金把林推开，“走吧，弟弟，一到那里就给我们写信，好吗？”
林跳上了火车，火车上到处都是乘客和行李，他穿过拥挤的人群来到他的座位。一个年轻人坐在林的座位上，他穿着牛仔裤和一件非常时尚的夹克，正在吸一支烟。他应该怎么办？六双眼睛看着林，然而那个人却朝窗外启动看去。
“先生，你坐着我的座位，”林带着紧张的笑容说，其他人都饶有兴味地看着他。那个人没有回头看林，而且看着窗外。
“对不

起，我有你坐的这个座位的票！”林提高了声音说道。“我也有一张这个号的票，尽管它在另外一个车箱，而且，是我先来的，”这个人头也没动地说道。他虽然坐着，但他看上去很高、很壮。林看着其他乘客寻求帮助。“但是 ... ”他开始说话。“但是什么？”那个人回过头看着林说，“我是不会走的。”最后，一个戴着眼镜的男人大声说道，“这个年轻人有这个座位的票，你应该让开。
”林觉得勇气倍增。“你看？请让开，我要坐很长时间的火车呢。”“多长？”那个年轻人问道。“到终点站、北京。”
“我在你之前下车，然后你可以坐我的座位。”“在哪里？”林问道，”杭州。”
林认为杭州很远。“离这大约七个小时的路程。”那个戴眼镜的人说道，“就算只有十分钟，你也应该让开。”慢慢地那个年轻人站了起来，把烟头扔在地上，然后消失在火车另一端。

玲玲：是呀、不管怎么样、我们都将在英语上取得高分！



Module 2 Education Unit 2 What's the best thing about school?

My school life

My 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 mutil 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 am to 3: 15 pm.

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 Desing 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 cool 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, trainging 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 wxams in my final year.

We have a large sports ground where we play football, tennis and do athletics both during and after school hours.

Afterschool activities,such as sports clubs and language societies ar

e 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.

S o 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!
。
课文翻译：我的学校生活
我的名字是萨利、马克斯韦尔，今年15岁。
从我11岁起，我就在伦敦的帕克学校读书。
如果我明年通过了考试，我将在这里待到18岁。
帕克学校是一所中学，从我家骑自行车到学校大约要20分钟。
我来这里之前，我在我家附近的小学上学。
我5岁开始上的小学，在那里待了六年。
上学的时间是上午8点45 至下午3点15。
在刚开始的10分钟里我们待在教室，让老师检查学生的出勤情况。然后，所有人都去大厅，在那里，校长发表演讲，并告诉我们学校的一些新闻。9:05 开始上课，一节课一个小时。在11:05 至11:20期间我们休息，然后再上一节课，接着是一个小时的午饭时间。在放学之前我们还要上两节课。今年，我有11门课程：数学、生物、化学、法语、历史、地理、音乐和IT, PHSE,ADT and PE。（这些分别代表信息技术；个人健康；和安全教育；艺术、设计与技术、体育等课程的简称）。幸运的是，我们并不是每门功课都要考试。个人健康和安全教育讲的是毒品和吸烟的危害性，以及其他一些内容。在艺术、设计与技术这门课中我们学习绘画与设计，也学习烹饪。有一些学生不会做法国菜，会做意大利菜和西班牙菜，但是还没有人学做中国菜。体育课包括体育锻炼，篮球以及在体育馆的训练和游泳。我们真的很幸运能有一个游泳池。我在7岁、10岁和14岁的时候参加过考试。明年我得参加八门课程的考试，然后我可以在最后一年参加三至五门课程的考试。我们有一个大的运动场，上学期间或放学之后，我们可以在那里踢足球、打网球和进行体育锻炼。
课外活动像体育俱乐部和语言社团也都很受欢迎。在每个学年中，通常会去博物馆和艺术画廊参观，以及像爬山和在乡间骑自行车这样的野营活动。还有一些聚会、迪斯科和运动日，学校的演出也是一件十分重要的事件。每个学期都有一次家长会，父母和老师可以谈谈我们的进步。
学校里最好的事情是什么？英语、历史、音乐....... 和我的朋友们。最坏的事情呢？ 家庭作业...... 和考试
Module 3 Now and then，Unit 1 People are healthier today

Betty's mum: It's getting late, Betty.

Betty: Nearly finish

ed! I'm doing a composition: Is life today better or worse than it was 50 years ago?

Bettu's mum: And what do you think?

Betty: I think it's better. The most important difference is that people are healthier today,

and they live longer than they did in the past.

Betty's mum: That's true. The advantage is that we know more about medicine today We're better at preventing illness.

But people don't eat as well as in the past, and don't take as much exercise as they did.

.Betty：I suppose that's because public transport is much better today.

Betty's mum: Yes, I agree, People walk or use their bikes less. and they're lazier.

faster transport also makes more pollution.

and that makes life more dangerous and less healthy.

Betty：What about work? People don't have to work as hard as they worked 50 years ago.

Yes, but no one ever says they have too much free time!

I also think schoolchildren today work harder than we ever did.

Betty: Yes. but I really want to do my best.

Why don't you ask Mrs Li downstairs?

She's seen how life has changed.

Betty: That's a good idea. Talking of free time, don't forget I'm going on the school trip next month . and the theatre visit.

" Good! You'll be more relaxed and less nervous before your exams.
。
课文翻译：第3模块，偶而，第一单元，现在的人更健康。
贝蒂的妈妈：很晚了，贝蒂。
贝蒂：快完成了！我正在写作文呢，今天的生活比起五十年前是变好了还是变糟了？
贝蒂的妈妈：那你是怎么认为的？
贝蒂：我认为变好了，最重要的区别是今天的人们更加健康，并且比过去长寿。
贝蒂的妈妈：那是事实，优势是今天我们了解了更多的医疗知识，我们更擅长预防疾病了。但是食品不如以前健康，人们的运动量也不如原来大。
贝蒂：我认为那是今天的公共运输变好了的缘故。
贝蒂的妈妈：是的，我也有同感，人们更少步行或者骑自行车，他们变得比以前懒了。迅捷的交通也带来了更多的污染，那使得生活变得更危险、更不健康了。
贝蒂：那工作怎么样呢？人们不必像五十年前那样费力地工作了。是啊，但是从没有人说他们的空闲时间多！我也认为今天的学生比我们那时候幸苦。
贝蒂：是的，但是我真的想尽自己最大努力。
贝蒂的妈妈：你为什么不问问楼下的李太太呢？她目睹了生活的变化。
贝蒂：好主意，谈到空闲时间，别忘了下个月我将参加学校组织的旅游和去剧院参观。
贝蒂的妈妈：好，你将在考试前感觉更轻松，更无压力

Module 3 Now and then（没有录音文件）Unit 2 We weren't very rich,but we were happy

Life in the past

Mrs 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. bro

thers 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 elsest 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 oftern worked 12 hours a day.

My mom 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!

课文翻译：第3模块，偶而，第二单元，我们不是很富有，但我们很快乐。
过去的生活
李太太已经七十多岁了，她一辈子都居住在北京
我向了她有关过去和今天的生活情况。
给我讲讲您的父母、兄弟姐妹。
我父母、我姐姐和我的三个弟弟住在一家餐馆旁边的小房子里。我们不是很富裕，但我们很开心。我姐姐是家中最大的孩子，在她年仅十二岁时、就辍学在家帮助妈妈。从我小时候开始，家庭成员就一直发生着变化。在那时候家庭比较大，我的大多数朋友都有很多兄弟姐妹。今天，大多数人只有一个孩子。
您的父母都有工作吗？
我爸爸出去工作，他是

一家工厂的工人，经常每天工作12个小时。我的妈妈想去工作，她在遇到我父亲之前是一名教师。照顾我们成了她的全职工作，因此她待在家里。今天已婚妇女出去工作是很正常的，但在过去这是少见的。我爸爸一生都做同一个工作，今天，人们更频繁地更换他们的工作。
家里的生活是怎么样的呢？
我记得全家吃饭的情景，每天三顿饭，妈妈总是给我们做饭吃。我们不富裕，但是我们能吃饱。食物总是现做的—我妈妈从不像今天的人那样买些已做好的食物，因此，那对我们来说更有益。当然，那时我们没有电视，因此,我们一起做游戏，一起读书，晚上我帮助弟弟做作业。
您是在什么地方认识您丈夫的？
我第一次见到他是在六十年前，那时我正骑着车驮着一些沉重的袋子，然后摔了下来。他停下来帮我捡起那些袋子，我的父母都喜欢他，认为他来自一个良好的家庭，因此一年后我们就结婚了，那时我才19岁。现在，很多夫妇相识在工作中，他们只希望他们的父母为他们的结合感到高兴。
北京有什么变化吗？
有啊，有那么多的建筑物，有那么多的交通工具。我不敢相信街道上有那么多的汽车。但是我认为到处都是一样的，现在我很少步行了，更多地乘公交车了。
那么你认为今天的生活变得更好了吗？是的，我是这样认为的，我比以前更健康了，我们活得更长，吃得更好了，将来有一天、我还会给你的孙子们讲这些呢！


Module 4 The way you look Unit 1 I really like these shoes

课文翻译：你对事物的看法，第一单元 我真的很喜欢这些鞋
玲玲：我真的期盼着看到莎士比亚的戏剧。
贝蒂：我也是！还有学校组织的去长城的旅行。
玲玲：是的，但我需要一件厚夹克衫、一些保暖的手套和袜子。
贝蒂：现在是5月份啊
玲玲：我真的觉得很冷。
贝蒂：好吧，我们去购物吧!
玲玲：去王府井的那家新购物中心怎么样？
你看，向左拐沿着王府井大街一直走，它就在右边。
贝蒂：对，我们乘公交车去，好吗？
你已经决定在学校的毕业典礼上穿什么衣服了吗?
玲玲：我有一条很漂亮的长裙，你呢？
贝蒂：我很可能穿裙子，但我还没鞋呢

好吧，今天下午两点我在学校门口等你。
贝蒂：这件夹克怎么样？
玲玲：这件大小合适，但是颜色有点艳。
贝蒂：让我们看看他们是否有蓝色的，售货员在哪呢？

贝蒂：不了，她不想要大衣。
玲玲：嗨，我真的喜欢这些鞋子！
贝蒂：哦，看看那条漂亮的裙子。
玲玲：我想我们得在这待一会。

Module 4 The way you look Unit 2 What helps you choose the clothes you like?

Looking cool

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 catches your attention?

Or maybe film stars are wearing these clothes?

What helps you choose the clothes you like?

Everyone spends money on clothes, and everyone has their personal look.

The best-known clothing companies sell their "designer" clothes all 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？
？
Many young people today care about the way they look.

They often buy "designer" clothes because they think they look cool.

Then the less welll-known companies. make clothes which look the same.

But they don't sell as well because they don't have the logo.

People also think designer clothes are better make.

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 comp

anies only want to make a lot of money.


Above all, designer clothes are more popular because of clever advertising.

All of the international companies spend millions of dollars every year to make us buy their clothes. And they succeed!

Most people dress in a way that shows off their personality.

But if some of us buy expensive clothes just to look cool, what does that say about us?

Maybe it's just clever advertising.

So next weekend , think about the clothes you put on.

What's the logo on your trainers? Who made your jeans?

And how many of your friends wear the same clothes as you do?

And then think that maybe some of us could spend our money better.

课文翻译：第4模块、你对事物的看法，第二单元、怎样帮助你选择你喜欢的服装。
看上去很酷
当你买衣服时你找什么样的衣服？你是选时尚的 ....... 还是选舒适的？你喜欢看起来与众不同吗？或者你穿跟你的朋友一样的衣服吗？
你追随今年的流行色吗？是不是商标，公司的标志，引起了你的注意？或者也许是电影明星正穿着这样的衣服？是什么帮助你选择你喜欢的衣服？
人人都花钱买衣服，人人都有其个人外貌。是最有名的服装公司在全球销售他们的品牌服装，但是这些知名公司的数目实际上很小，并且他们生产的衣服也比名气小的公司生产的衣服贵得多。很多人甚至更喜欢这些昂贵的衣服，为什么？
现在很多年轻人都关注他们的外表，他们经常买品牌服装是因为他们觉得这些衣服看起来酷，然后，名气小的公司也生产看起来相同的衣服。但是他们销售得不是很好，因为他们没有那个图标。
人们同样认为品牌衣服做工更好。例如，很多人认为好的跑鞋会让你跑得更快或球踢得更好，当然，这并非总是真的，是日常的训练，而不是跑鞋，提高了你的速度或者你的成绩，但这不是关键，人们相信那是真的，然后就去买这种鞋，这些知名公司仅仅想要赚很多钱。
更重要的是，由于巧妙广告的作用，品牌服装更流行了。每年这些国际性的公司花数百万美元做广告，让我们买他们的衣服，而且他们成功了。
大多数人都采用彰显个性的穿着方式。但是，如果我们中的有些人买昂贵的衣服仅仅是为了看上去更酷，那说明了什么，？或许只是聪明的广告起了引导消费的作用。因此下个周末，想想你穿的衣服。你的跑鞋上有什么图标，你的牛仔裤是哪个厂家的？有多少朋友和你穿同样的衣服，然后想一想，或许我们中的有些人可以更理智地花钱。

Module 5 Rules and suggestions Unit 1 You must keep to the path

杰克逊先生：.. 然后沿着城墙一直走到上面去，来吧，我来带路。
大明： 我已经觉得累了，我可能很快就需要休息。

Module 5 Rules and suggestions unit 2 you mustn’t move

Watch out! Bears about!

On our first evening, the three of us were tired after walking for about eight hours.

We soon fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, there was a strange noise outside.

But when I looked out of the tent, there was nothing to see.

In the morning, I got up to mske breakfast, T

he bag of food was open .

"bears," said Joe, " We should hang the food in a tree tonight,"

Later that day we stopped in a beautifur valley by a stream.

It was very peaceful, and we fell asleep listening to the sound of water.

During the night the bears came back. This time they took the food from the tree.

"How did they do that?" I asked.

"Not high enough,. Bears can climb trees. They can smell food from a distance.

We should pick up the rubbish. too"

The first rule of camping is to keep a clean camp site.

You can't leave anything which bears might think is food,

"OK, let's tidy the site up, and move on, OH and we should make lots of noise. too.
“
If they know where we are, they may not come any closer." said Joe.
。
“If you see a bear,”said Joe , “you mustn't move or make any gesture,


We went to sleep ... or we tried to.

The next day we stopped at midday for something to eat,

and while the others were resting, I went for a walk in the forest.

Suddenly, I saw a baby bear playing with some sticks and stones,

He looked so friendly, and I remember thinking,"if I reach out, I can just touch him."

There was a loud noise behind me.

I stood very still. I didn't even turn my head.

there was another loud noise, and I still couldn't see what was happening.

The baby bear looked up, and ran past me into the woods.

I stayed in the same position for five minutes, maybe more,

Then slowly I turned round, and on the hillside about 300 metres away I saw the baby bear and his huge mother.

I have never run so fast, back to my friends.

For the next 10 days, every time there was sudden noise, my blood went cold.


第5模块，规则和建议，第二单元，你们必须不动。
当心 ！附近有熊！
在第一个晚上，我们三个人经过了大约八个小时的跋涉后累了，
我们很快就睡着了。
半夜，外面传来奇怪的声音。
但当我从帐篷往外看时，什么也没有看到。
早上，我起来做早饭，发现食品袋是开着的。
“熊，”乔说，“今晚、我们应该把食物挂在树上。”
后来，那天我们在溪边的一个美丽的小峡谷停了下来。
那里安静极了，我们伴随着小溪流水的声音睡着了。
夜里，熊又来了，这次他们从树上拿走了食物。
“他们怎么做到的？”我问道。
“挂的地方不够高，熊会爬树，他们可以从远处闻到食物的味道。
我们也应该收拾一下垃圾。”
野营的首要规则就是保持营地的清洁。
你不能留下任何可能让熊认为是食物的东西。
“好吧，我们把野营地清理一下，然后继续走吧，对了，我们应该弄出很多声音来。
如果它们知道我们在哪，它们就不会靠得那么近了。”
“如果你看见一只熊，” 乔说，“你绝对不能动或者做任何手势，
最重要的是，，你绝对不能跑，在

森林里没有一个人会比熊跑得更快。”
我们去睡觉了... 或者说我们尽力去睡。
第二天中午，我们停下来吃中饭，
当其他的人都在休息的时候，，我去森林里散步。
突然，我看见一只小熊在玩一些树枝和石头。
它看起来那么友好，而且我记得当时想过，“如果我伸出手去，我就可以摸到它了。”
我身后传来巨大的声响。
我站在那里一动不动，甚至没有转过头去。
身后又有一声巨响，我仍然看不到发生了什么事情。
那只小熊抬起头来看了看，从我身边跑进入了森林。
我在原地站了五分钟或者更久。
然后我慢慢地转过头去，在大约300米远的山坡上，我看见了那只小熊和它庞大的妈妈。
我以前所未有的速度飞快地跑回到我朋友那里。
在接下来的十天里，每当我听到一种奇怪的声音，我都会感到非常惊恐。

安全、健康生活的六条规则
Six rules for a safe and healthy life

Thanks to improvements in both health care and personal safety, most people are living healthier, longer lives.

Someone who is born today can expect t live 25 years longer than someone who was born in the 19 th century.

It's even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthday.
。
Here are six urles for a healthy life.

1 Be careful! It's dangerous out there!

We all know that we shouldn't run across the road in front of the oncoming traffic, or cycle too close to cars.

But we’re not sure about how to stay safe in the countryside.

When you're out walking you should always go with someone. and tell your parents where you're planning to go.

Remember! Climbing may also mean falling-what goes up must come down.

Safety rules and advice are there to help you,not to make life less fun.



2 Don't be a couch potato!


Sure, it's comfortable to sit on the couch and watch .
。
But experts say you should walk at least 10,000 steps every day to keep fit.
。
In the past, People's jobs required more physical effort.

When farmers were working in the fields. they were keeping fit at the same time.

Think about It: do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past?

3 Whatch your diet!

It's important to eat plenty of the right things, above all, fruit, vegetables,

and to see fast food or sweets as something very special- maybe just and then.

The wrong diet means you'll put on weight, one of the fastest ways to an unhealthy life.

4 Rest up while you can!
。
When we were babies, we slept for much of the day- if our parents were lucky!

Teenagers don't need as much sleep but it's important to get about eight hours' sleep.

At weekends, you've got more time , so use it not just for your friends, but for rest. too.

5 Don't worry . Be happy!

Many doctors believe that happiness is important for our general health.

If you're worried about something, ta

lk to your parents or your teacher.

6 Say no ... to smoking and drugs!

Yes, you knew I was going to say this!But It's so important.
。
More teenagers damage their health through smoking and taking drugs than any other dangers.
。
Think about the effect on your family and friends, and think about its effect on you and your health.

Happy living!
快乐地生活吧！

安全和健康生活的六条规则
由于医疗护理和人身安全方面的进步，大多数人较以往生活得更健康，更长寿。
今天出生的人有望比19世纪出生的人多活25年，有人甚至在想将来会有越来越多的人庆祝他们的百岁生日，这是健康生活的六条规则。
1，注意！外出有危险！
我们都知道，我们不应该在疾驶的车辆面前横穿马路，或者骑自行车时与车辆靠得太近。
但是我们对在乡村如何保持安全还不太确定。
当你出门在外时，你应该与他人结伴而行，并告诉你的父母你打算去哪里。
记住，攀爬可能意味着摔落，有上就必有下，安全的规则和建议对你有帮助，而不是减少生活的乐趣。
2，不要成为沙发土豆。
当然了，坐在沙发上看电视很舒服，但专家们建议每天至少要走10000步以保证身体健康。
过去，人们的工作需要更多的体力劳动，当农民们在地里劳作的时候，他们也同时在保持着健康。
考虑一下，你有过去的人们那样的运动量吗？
3，注意你的饮食！
要多吃健康的食物，这一点很重要，尤其是水果和蔬菜，，同时将快餐或甜点作为调节，偶尔吃点就行了，.. 错误的饮食会导致体重增加，这是导致不健康生活的最快的方式之一。
4.尽量多休息
当我们是孩子的时候，多数时间是在睡觉、如果我们的父母幸运的话，青少年不需要太多的睡眠，但是保证8小的睡眠很重要，。
在周末，你会有更多的时间，因此，不要仅仅把它花费在与朋友玩耍上，也要注意休息。
5.、不要烦恼，开心一点。
很多医生认为快乐对于我们的整体健康来说很重要，
如果你担心什么的话，就要跟你的父母或都是沟通。
6. 拒绝吸烟和毒品！
是的，你知道我要提到这一点，但是它真的很重要。
越来越多的青少年由于吸烟或吸毒而不是其他的危险损害了他们的健康，
想想它对你的家人或朋友带来的影响，然后想想它对你和你的健康的影响。

Module 7 Eating together Unit 2 Knives and forks are used for most fo

od
Do as the Romans do

There's a saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do。”

And when you eat Western fook, do as the Westerners do.

Here are some things you may wish to know about eating together in the West.

In the West, lunch is eaten later, always after midday, sometimes at one o'clock.

Dinner is served around 7 pm or even later . In Spain its usual to eat lunch at 2 pm and dinner at 10 pm!

At the start of a meal the Chinese usually say " manman chi'.

The French say "Bon appetit",

and the Italians say"Buon appetito"

But there's no similar expression in English!

"Enjoy your meal" is usually only said by a waiter.

For"ganbei", you can say "Cheers" !

Chopsticks are only used when people eat Chinese food.

Knives and forks are used for most food.

The fork is held in your left hand and the knife in your right, and the food is held with the fork and cut with the knife.

Americans often cut all their food first, and then put the fork in their right hand to eat it.

Soup is drunk with a spoon.

However, there is some food which can be eaten with your fingers, such as chicken legs. seafood, bread and cake.

At the start of a meal, if you're the guest, you'll be invited to serve yourself ("Help yourself！"),

or your plate will be filled by your host("Can I serve you?").

If you've been given something you don't like,it should be pushed to the edge of the plate and left.

You don't have to say why, but if you feel an explanation is required,

just say, "I'm sorry, I can't eat this"

No one will be cross.If you're offered more food, but can't eat any more,

just say, "No, thanks.It was delicious, but I've had enough."


Generally, fewer dishes are prepared than in China.

It isn't thought to be so important to offer too much food.

Finally, it's sometimes difficult to know when the meal is over .

If you've been invited to dinner by Western friends,

You'll know that you're expected to stay and talk around the dinner table long after the last dish has been brought to the table,

and it's thought quit rude if you leave as soom as you finish eatin.

The golden rule is: Watchthe other people. Do as they do.

课文翻译：入乡随俗
俗话说：“入乡随俗。
所以吃西餐时，就要按照西方人那样做。
下面是关于在西方共同进餐的一些常识，或许你想知道一些。
在西方，午饭吃得很晚，总是在12点以后，有时到一点钟才吃。
晚饭通常在下午七点甚至更晚，在西班牙通常在下午2点吃午饭，晚饭在10点！
中国人在进餐开始时通常说，“慢慢吃”
法国人说，“祝你好胃口”
意大利人说，“祝你好胃口”。
但在英语中没有相似的表达方式。
通常服务员说，请尽情享用。
对于"干杯"、你可以说.“Cheers”。
筷子只在吃中餐的时候用。
刀和叉子用于大多数食品。
左手

拿叉子，右手拿刀子，用叉子按住食物再用刀来切开。
美国人经常先切好所有的食物，然后用右手拿叉子吃食物。
用勺子喝汤
。然而，有些食物可以用手拿着吃，例如，鸡腿，海鲜，面包和蛋糕。
如果你是客人，开始吃饭时，你会被邀请自己慢慢享用、（“请随便吃”），
或你的盘子里会被你的主人放满食物、（我能为你服务吗?)
如果给了你不喜欢吃的东西，可以把它推到盘子的边缘上不动。
你不必说为什么，但是如果你觉得需要解释一下，
只要说，“抱歉，我不能吃这个”。
没有人会生气，如果给了你太多的食物，吃不了。
只要说，“不用了，食物味道很好，但我吃饱了。”
一般情况下，会提供比在中国少的菜。
提供太多的菜被认为不是重要的。
最后，有时很难知道用餐什么时候结束。
如果你被西方人邀请过用餐，你要知道在最后一道菜端上来之后，你仍被希望在桌子旁待一会，聊聊天。
如果你一吃完就就离开会被认为很无礼。
黄金规则是：看其他的人，照他们那样做。

Module 8 On the town Unit 1 I was pleased to see it.

Tony’smum：How was the play?

Tony：Well , I was pleased to see it, but three hours is a long time to stay still.

Tony’smum：Was it in English?

Tony：Yes, it was acted by the Beijing English Theatre Company.

Tony’smum：What was the best bit?
Tony：The fight between the two families and their servants！

And the actors who played the roles of Romeo and Juliet were superb!

But it's sad at the end, because Juliet loves Romeo, but her father has decided she must marry someone else.

So they both decide to kill themselves.

Tony’smum："A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life."

Tony：OK,OK.I'm impressed. Can you recite any more lines?

Tony’smum：No,that's all I can remember. Did you have a good seat?

Tony：Well, it was hard to see the play at the back. The best place to sit is in the front row.

Tony’smum：Could you hear the dialogue?

I guessed what they were saying, but their voices weren't very loud.

Daming and lingling found their accents really difficult to understand.

The best way is to read the play before you see it.

Tony：We tried to do that, but there wasn't time.

Tony’smum：Did you have anything to eat before you went to the theatre?

Tony：No such luck! I was starving!

课文翻译：第8模块，在小镇，第一单元，我很高兴看它。
Tony’smum：那部戏剧怎么样？
Tony： 嗯，我很高兴看到它，不过静静地坐了三个小时，时间长了点。

Tony’smum：是用英语说吗?也可能翻译成、是英文版吗？
Tony： 对，是由北京英语戏院公司演出的。
Tony’smum：哪一段最精彩？是两个家族和他们的仆人之间

的斗争！
Tony： 扮演罗密欧和朱丽叶的那两个演员是最棒的。

但结局有点悲伤，因为朱丽叶爱罗密欧，但她的父亲决定她必须嫁给别人。所以他们两人决定自杀。
Tony’smum：“一对不幸的恋人结束了他们的生命。”
Tony： 好了，好了，我被感动了，你还能再背出别的台词吗？
Tony’smum：没有了，那是我所能记住的一切，你的座位好吗？
Tony： 哦，在后面很难看清楚这部戏，最好的座位是前几排。
Tony’smum：你能听到对白吗？
Tony： 我猜出他们说了什么，但是他们的声音不是很大，
大明和玲玲发现他们的口音真的很难懂。
Tony’smum：最好的方法是看戏以前先读一下剧本。
Tony： 我们想那样做，但我们没有时间。
Tony’smum：你们去剧院以前吃东西了吗？
Tony： 没有那么幸运！我快饿死了！

Module 8 On the town Unit 2 It's wonderful town!

The city that never sleeps

New York, New York, it's a wonderful town!

The Bronx is up and the Battery's down!

(On the Town ,by Leonard Bernstein）
（
New York is probably the entertainment capital of the world, and a great place to see the big names and top stars in films, television, theatre and music.

Sports fans have plenty of chances to watch some great sport, and the New York nightlife is world-famous.

Madison Square Garden is the place to watch the New York Knicks Basketball Team and the Golden Gloves boxing competition.

To watch beaseball, go to the Yankee Stadium, home of the New York Yankees or Shea Stadium for the Mets.

At New York's finest arts cinema, the Film Forum, you can see the latest foreigh and American movies.

But New York itself is the subject of many movies by directors who come from New York, such as Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese.

The great names of jazz have played in the jazz clubs of Greenwich Village, and fans can listen to the stars of today and tomorrow at the world-famous Blue Note.

The Metropolitan Opera House is the place to go for opera lovers, but you have to book tickets a long time before you want to go.

One of the most important things to see at Christamas is the Nutcracker by the New York City Ballet at Lincoln Centre.

Carnegie Hall is well-known for its concerts of all types of music, classical and modern.

Broadway is not just a street but an area of New York .

There you can see some of the biggest and the best plays and musicals, such as Evita, Cats and The Phantom of the Opera,

If you ever come to New York in summer,

remember to spend a day in Central Park watching a play by Shakespeare in open air, with famous actors from Broadway and Hollywood.

For lovers of painting, the best plan is to go to the Museum of Modern Art or the Guggenheim Mus

eum.

Restaurants can be found everywhere, and are open at all times of the day or night.

There has always been a huge number of Italian,Chinese and Japanese restaurants, but now you can eat food from Thailand, Vietnam, India, Burma or the Philippines.

Try the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station for the best seafood in Manhatan.

New York's nightlife includes discos, like the Limelight, and night clubs.

In fact, it's easy to see why they call it "the city that never sleeps".

课文翻译：第8模块，在小镇，第2单元，奇妙的城市。
不夜城
纽约，纽约，你是一座神奇的城。
布朗克斯宁静，巴特浮华！摘自伦纳德、伯恩斯坦的音乐剧、《在小镇上》）。
纽约或许是世界上娱乐之都，是一个看名人，电影、电视、戏剧和音乐剧中大明星的好地方。体育迷们有大量的机会观看一些顶级的体育比赛，并且纽约的夜生活也是世界著名的。
麦迪逊广场花园是观看纽约尼克斯篮球队的主场和金手套拳击比赛的地方 。看棒球比赛可以去纽约扬基队的主场、扬基球场或者大都会队的谢依球场。
在纽约最好的艺术影院--电影论坛，你可以看到最新的国外和美国本土电影。但是纽约本身就是由一些来自纽约的导演如伍迪、艾伦和马丁、斯科西斯导演的许多电影主题。
最有名的爵士乐队在格林尼治村的爵士乐队演奏过，歌迷们可以在世界闻名的蓝音俱乐部听到当今巨星和未来的明星的演奏。大都会歌剧院对于歌剧爱好者来说是一个好去处，但是在你想要去看演出前，必须提前很长时间订票。圣诞期间最不容错过的演出之一是在林肯中心由纽约市芭蕾舞团表演的《胡桃夹子》。卡纳基音乐厅以它的各种音乐会--古典的和现代的而著称。
百老汇不仅仅是一条街道，而且是纽约的一个地区。
在那里你可以看到一些世界顶级和最大型的戏剧性和音乐剧表演，如《艾维塔》、《猫》和《歌剧院的幽灵》。
如果你要是夏天来纽约，
记住在中央公园花上一天的时间、观看一下莎士比亚戏剧的露天表演，那里有来自百老汇和好莱坞的著名演员。
对于绘画爱好者来说，在纽约最好的去处是现代艺术博物馆或古根海姆博物馆。
在纽约、餐馆处处可见，而且昼夜一直营业。
这里有很多意大利、中国和日本餐馆，但是现在你可以吃到来自泰国、越南、印度、缅甸或菲律宾风味的菜肴。
在中央车站的牡蛎餐馆、试试来自曼哈顿最好的海鲜。
纽约的夜生活丰富多彩，包括迪斯科舞厅，如莱姆莱特舞厅，还有夜总会。
事实上，很容易明白为什么他们称它为“不夜城”。
