Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he has struggled for the past five decades. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid rice. In 1974, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same fields. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain. Born into a poor farmer's family in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced. These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hunger. Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before. Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life. However, he doesn't care about being famous. He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research. He would much rather keep time for his hobbles. He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading. Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also means very little to him. Indeed, he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles. He therefore gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture. Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. Long ago Dr yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum. Each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream: to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe. One dream is not always enough, especially for a person who loves and cares for his people. 造福全⼈类的先驱者 尽管是中国最著名的科学家之⼀，袁隆平仍然认为⾃⼰是个农民，因为他在⽥⾥耕作，进⾏科学研究。

Unit1 How can we become good learners?How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, Ilooked up the words in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.P6 2bHow Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.Creating an interest in what they learnStudies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.Practicing and learning from mistakesGood learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “use it or lose it”! Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Practice makes perfect. Good learners are also not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.Developing their study skillsIt is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. Good learners find out the best ways to learn well. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.Asking questionsGood learners oft en ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a life-long journey because every day bringssomething new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.P8 self check 1Are you________ out each time you have a test? You don’t have to be if you_______smart study skills. Remember to________ notesin class and review them on your own or with friends after class. Then what you learned by doing_____. Try to study and________information bit by bit instead of waiting__________ the last minute to study_________ at once. Ifyou________ well for a test,then there’s nothing to_________ about!Unit 2 I think that mooncakes are delicious!P13 3aFull Moon, Full FeelingsChinese people have been celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon on mid-autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the famili es they love and miss.There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him a magic medicine to thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drink it with Chang’e. However, a bad man, Feng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She be came very light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi wasso sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back!After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.P12 4bDear Xia Yu,Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children oft en give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gift s to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to s how our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.JuneP14 2bThe Spirit of ChristmasMany would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gift s, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and is perhaps the best example of this.A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhoodand reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. He sees that he is dead but nobody cares. Scrooge is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is already the next morning on Christmas Day!He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gift s to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!P16 self check 1Many Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always on a Sunday__________March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates thebirth of new life. Hens________eggs, giving birth to life. So an egg is a symbol of new life. A popularactivity during Easter is to hide eggsaround your home or_________for friends or________ to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Not only do people________them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these_________as gifts. So just like Christmas, Easter creates good________for supermarkets and chocolate stores.Unit3Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?UNIT 3P19 3aFun Times Park — Always a Fun Time![Alice and He Wei are in Space World]Alice: I wonder where we should go next.He Wei: How about that new ride over there?Alice: Oh ... it looks pretty scary.He Wei: Come on! I promise it’ll be fun! If you’re afraid, just shout or hold my hand.[After the ride]Alice: You were right, that was fun! I was scared at first, but shouting really did help.He Wei: See, that wasn’t so bad, right? You never know until you try something.Alice: Yes, I’m so glad I tried it. Now I know I can do it and it’s actually fun!He Wei: Do you want to go to Water World now?Alice: Sure, but I’m really hungry. Do you know where we can get some good food quickly?He Wei: Of course! I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World. It’s a fast food place. It serves delicious hamburgers and hot dogs.Alice: That sounds perfect![On their way to Water City Restaurant, Alice and He Wei pass by Uncle Bob’s.]Alice: Oh, look! This restaurant looks interesting. It seems a rock band plays there every evening.He Wei: Maybe we can come here fo r dinner later. Let’s ask what time the band starts.[Alice and He Wei walk up to a staff person at the door.]He Wei: Excuse me, could you tell us when the band starts playing this evening?Staff: Eight o’clock. It’s always busy, so come a little earlier to get a table.He Wei: OK, thanks!P22 2bCould You Please ...?When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are simi lar requests for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct — or more indirect — when we ask for help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to yourteacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates.Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please ...?” or “Can I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Som etimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.P27 3aFrom Shy Girl to Pop Star1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and the n for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the ti me. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hardwork to succeed. Only a very small number of pe ople make it to the top.”P30 2bHe Used to Cause a Lot of TroubleLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy who works hard in school and gets good grades. It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child” until a conversation with his parents influenced his way of thinking. Li Wen lives in the Sichuan countryside. As a small child, he seldom gave his parents any problems, and they were proud of him. However, _________, the boy’s life became more difficult. He had to move in with his grandmother.Li Wen began to cause problems for himself and his family. He was no longer interested in studying. He was oft en absent from classes, and he failed his examinations. Finally, his parents made a decision to send him to a boarding school. Li Wen no longer lived with his grandmother. He studied, ate and slept at the school, and he hated it. There were so many rules, and he used to keep breaking them. One day, he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. __________The head teacher advised his parents to talk with their son in person. His parents took a 40-hour train ride and a five-hour bus ride to go back to their hometown. To Li Wen’s surprise, their conversation changed his life. “It was exactly what I needed,” he said. “My parents helped me to understand ho w much they had given me. They also told me that even though they couldn’t be there to take care of me, they were always thinking of me and would take pride in everything good that I did.___________. I realized that since my parents moved away, I’ve been a fraid of being alone, and have tried to make my parents pay more attention to me.”____________. He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class. His parents’ love has made him feel good about himself. “It’s very important for par ents to be there for their children,” Li Wen says.P31 2eLi Wen is a good student, son and grandson. However, he used to cause a lot of trouble for his parents. When his parents moved to work in anothercity, they could not be at home to____________ him. So he was___________ interested in studying and missed classes. Then his parents________to send him to a boarding school and he________it. In the end, his teacher advised his parents to talk with their son and this conversation____________ his life. He realized that his parents would__________everything good that he did. Now he is one of the best students in his class.Unit5 What are the shirts made of?P35 3aThe Difficult Search for American Goods in the USIf you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old studentfrom Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.”Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Amer icans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China —footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.P38 2bBeauty in Common ThingsEach different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life such as love, beauty and family. The most common things, from paper to clay tobamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters froma Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished andpainted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.P39 2d1. People used to sky lanterns when they were in trouble. But today, people light the lanterns and watch them_______the sky with their wishes.2. The art of paper cutting_______ a simple thing like a piece of paper________ a beautiful piece of art. People often_________these art pieces_____ the doors, windows and walls of their homes to celebrate the Spring Festival.3. To make Chinese clay art, the clay is shaped by hand into things__________cute children or characters from Chinese fairy tales and stories. They are then______ paint.Unit 6 When was it invented?P43 3aAn Accidental InventionDid you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water anyway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea tradefrom China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.P44 4cThe telephone (invent) by Alexander Graham Bell.

上海英语going global课文原文
上海英语going global课文原文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Global AdventureHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I live in a city called Shanghai which is in a country named China. Maybeyou've heard of it? Shanghai is a really big and modern city with lots of tall buildings and bright lights. But today I'm going to tell you about the time I went on a huge adventure and got to see so many different places around the world!It all started last summer when my mom and dad surprised me and my little brother Tommy with some very exciting news. "Kids, how would you like to take a trip around the world with us this year instead of going to summer camp?" my dad asked with a big smile. Tommy and I looked at each other with our mouths wide open. Travel the world? That sounded like the coolest thing ever!Mom and dad explained that dad's company was letting him work remotely for a whole year from anywhere in the world. Sowe could go on one long trip and see lots of different countries while he worked online. I could hardly believe our luck!A few weeks later, we set off on our global adventure. Our first stop was Japan. We stayed in Tokyo which is the capital city. It was so different from Shanghai! The buildings looked different, the food was nothing like Chinese food, and there were weird little cartoon characters everywhere you looked. But it was all totally awesome.One of the coolest things we did in Japan was visit an ancient Buddhist temple up in the mountains. We had to be very quiet and respectful inside. The whole place was made of wood and had the most beautiful decorations. Afterwards, we got to drink green tea and eat little sweet buns. So yummy!After a week or so in Japan, we hopped on a plane and flew all the way to Australia. Now that's about as far a place from China as you can get! When we first arrived in Sydney, I couldn't believe how sunny and bright it was outside. Shanghai has beautiful sunny days too, but Sydney seemed even brighter.My favorite memory from Australia was going on a tour into the Outback - that's what they call the huge desert in the middle of the country. We rode in a jeep over red sandy hills and saw kangaroos hopping around everywhere. Our guide taught usabout the Aboriginal people who have lived in the Outback for over 50,000 years! That's longer than any civilization on Earth. The Aboriginals are amazing survivors and have such an interesting culture.From Australia, we went to a country I had been really excited about - Italy! I just loved everything about it. The food was so delicious, like nothing I'd ever tasted before. The buildings and churches were hundreds of years old and looked like castles. And the people seemed to be having fun and laughing all the time.In Venice, we rode in a gondola along the famous canals and saw the pretty bridges arching over the water. Our gondolier sang Italian songs as he rowed us down the tiny waterways. Later, we watched some street performers doing funny dances and magic tricks in one of the plaza squares.We spent Christmas that year in Germany which was a winter wonderland! The cities were decorated with twinkling lights and Christmas trees. We drank hot chocolaty drinks and ate strudel pastries. One of the highlights was going to a big outdoor Christmas market that seemed to go on forever. They had handmade crafts and toys for sale in little wooden huts, alongwith all sorts of yummy food like roasted chestnuts and gingerbread men.After ringing in the new year in Germany, we went down to Africa and stayed in Kenya for a few weeks. That's where we finally got to go on a real safari adventure! We saw lions, elephants, zebras, and giraffes all up close in their natural habitats. Our jeep even got chased by an angry rhino at one point! Our guide told us all about the beautiful wild animals and how they are working hard to protect them.Before heading back home to China, we made one last stop in Brazil. Rio de Janeiro felt like a completely different world from everywhere else we had been. The city is located right beside the ocean with big mountains overlooking it. The beaches seemed to stretch on forever and everywhere we looked, people were outside Being active and having fun.One day we took a tram up to the famous huge statue of Christ the Redeemer that sits on top of one of Rio's mountains. The view looking out over the whole city and ocean篇2Going GlobalHi there! My name is Liam and I'm 10 years old. I go to Sunshine Elementary School here in Shanghai. Today I want to tell you all about how my city Shanghai is becoming more and more international and "going global"!Living in Shanghai is so cool because it's such a diverse and global city. Everywhere I look, I see people from all over the world. On my street alone, there are families from America, France, India, Japan, and many other countries. It's awesome getting to meet kids from so many different cultures.At my school, we have students from over 30 nations! In my class, some of my best friends are from Korea, Russia, and Italy. We all speak different languages at home, but at school we learn together in English and Chinese. Sometimes my friends teach me words or songs in their native tongues. I think it's super neat to be exposed to so many languages.Because Shanghai is such an international city, there are all kinds of awesome restaurants, shops, and cultural events happening all the time. My parents love taking me to try cuisine from around the globe. Some of my favorite restaurants are the Italian pizza place near our house, the delicious Indian curry spot downtown, and the fun Mexican taco truck that parks near myschool. Shopping is an adventure too with awesome stores selling goods from every corner of the world.One of the coolest things about Shanghai is all the amazing modern architecture mixed with traditional Chinese buildings. The skyline is stunning with massive skyscrapers like the Shanghai Tower that soars 632 meters into the sky! But you'll also find quaint old neighborhoods with classic shikumen houses and beautiful ancient temples. It's wild to have such modern and historic sites side-by-side.Because of Shanghai's global economy, my parents are able to run their international trading company right here in the city. They import products from overseas and send Chinese goods to other countries. A few times, I've gotten to go to the massive port and see the giant container ships getting loaded up. It's incredible that goods from Shanghai get sent all over the world!With so many people coming here to work, study, and live, English is becoming more and more important as a shared language in Shanghai. At school, we have English lessons every day to prepare us for a global future. My parents say being bilingual in English and Mandarin will give me an advantage later on. Sometimes my little sister and I like to practice our English by watching movies and reading books from the US and UK.Technology from around the world has also transformed life in Shanghai in so many ways. We can use global apps and websites to connect with people everywhere instantaneously. My best friend's cousins live in Canada, but we get to video chat with them all the time. We can learn about every country through the internet at our fingertips. How amazing is that?Transportation around Shanghai is becoming more globalized too. We have an incredible metro system that can whisk you from the modern city center to the international airports in no time. Those airports connect Shanghai to every continent through flights from top global airlines. My uncle travels a ton for his job and flies all over Asia, Europe, and North America from the Pudong airport regularly. I've also been on the super-fast bullet trains that can zoom us to other major Chinese cities in just a couple of hours.One of my favorite global events in Shanghai is the yearly Shanghai Tourism Festival. This massive celebration showcases the diverse cultures, arts, foods, and entertainment from Shanghai's sister cities and communities around the planet. There are pavilions from places like Yokohama, Duisburg, St. Petersburg, and many others where you can see amazing performances, try international cuisine, learn about worldcustoms, and more. My family goes every year and it's always a blast!In terms of sports, soccer is becoming a bigger and bigger global phenomenon in Shanghai. We have awesome professional soccer teams like Shanghai SIPG that draw extremely talented players from Brazil, Colombia, and beyond. Watching a match at their modern stadium is the best! There are also lots of youth soccer academies popping up to develop the next generation of Chinese stars. Who knows, maybe I'll go pro someday? A kid can dream!On special holidays, it's wonderful to see how the international community in Shanghai celebrates their diverse traditions together. During American Thanksgiving, many expat families throw big feasts. The Christmas markets and displays around the cities are incredible, mixing Chinese and Western styles. For Chinese New Year, the whole urban area is alive with breathtaking light shows, fireworks, dragon dances, and people from all backgrounds joining the fun.Overall, I feel incredibly lucky to grow up in such a global, cosmopolitan city like Shanghai. Being exposed to so many cultures, ideas, foods, and people from everywhere enriches my life in infinite ways. The world is becoming more connected thanever before, and places like Shanghai are at the forefront of that transition. Who knows what new amazing experiences await as Shanghai continues its journey of going global? I can't wait to be part of it all! The future is bright for kids like me in this incredible international metropolis.篇3My English Class Goes GlobalHi there! My name is Lily and I'm in 5th grade. I go to Shanghai World Academy and I absolutely love my English class this year. Our teacher, Ms. Jackson, is from America and she has made learning English so much fun!At the beginning of the year, Ms. Jackson told us that the theme for our class was "Going Global." She said we were going to learn all about different cultures around the world and how speaking English can connect us to people everywhere. I thought that sounded really exciting!For our first project, we had to research a country and make a poster all about its language, food, holidays, and traditions. I chose to do my poster on Mexico. I learned that the main language spoken there is Spanish, but that many people also speak English, especially in the big cities. The food looked sodelicious - tacos, enchiladas, guacamole! For holidays, I read about how they celebrate Cinco de Mayo on May 5th and Día de los Muertos in early November. My favorite Mexican tradition was the colorful folk art and clothing. Making that poster taught me so much!After our country poster projects, we started learning more challenging English vocabulary and grammar. But Ms. Jackson always made it fun with games and activities. One of my favorite games is Called Spell the Word. We split into two teams and take turns spelling more and more difficult vocabulary words out loud. Whoever spells the word right moves their team ahead. It's like an academic sport!For grammar, we did lots of writing exercises to practice using proper sentence structure and tenses. Things like present progressive for what is happening now ("I am studying grammar") and past tense for things that already happened ("I studied grammar yesterday"). English verb tenses were pretty confusing for me at first coming from Chinese, but all the practice has really helped.Last month, we had an awesome culture week where we learned about holidays and traditions from all over. We made Diya lamps for the Hindu festival of Diwali, did a dragon dancefor Chinese New Year, and even practiced some reggae dance moves to learn about Jamaican culture. My favorite was trying on beautiful, colorful saris from India. I felt like a princess!But the most exciting part of our Going Global unit was when we got pen pals from a school in New York City! For our final project, each of us was matched up with a student in America. We introduced ourselves through video messages and have been writing letters back and forth to each other practicing our English writing.My pen pal's name is Jamie. He's also in 5th grade and loves sports like me. We've been teaching each other fun slang words from our languages. My favorites that I've learned are "hangry" for being angry because you're hungry and "salty" which means you're upset about something. Jamie thinks it's hilarious when I use Chinese words like "nàng" for difficult or "chàbuduō" which means more or less. In my last letter, I taught him the phrase "shàngxīn" which means to take a joke too seriously. It's been so interesting learning about each other's lives and cultures!In a few weeks, we're going to have a video call with our pen pals to actually meet them face-to-face for the first time. I'm a little nervous to speak all in English, but I know all the practice we've been doing in class has prepared me well. I'm so excited tofinally meet Jamie in person...well, on video at least! Who knows, maybe I'll even get to visit New York someday and we can hang out in real life.Learning English this year has opened me up to a whole new global world of friends, cultures, and experiences. It's been challenging for sure, but also so rewarding. I can't wait to see where my English skills can take me next as I continue going global!篇4Going Global With English in ShanghaiHi! My name is Xiaoming and I'm a 5th grader at a primary school in Shanghai. I absolutely love learning English and want to tell you all about how we're "going global" with English here in one of the most international cities in the world.Ever since I was really little, my parents have emphasized how important it is to learn English well. They always say that with China's economy becoming more interconnected with the rest of the world, having strong English skills will open up so many opportunities for me in the future. English is considered a real "must-have" skill nowadays for any young person in Chinawho wants to go to a good university and get a great job later on.At my school, we start formal English classes in 1st grade, but we actually begin practicing English from kindergarten through things like singing songs, playing games, and reading simple stories. Our English classes ramp up a lot in intensity once we get to the higher primary grades. By the time I graduate elementary school, I'll have had 8 years of solid English education!My teachers use a mix of Chinese and English in the classroom, depending on the concept being taught. For basic things like classroom instructions, they stick to Chinese to make sure everyone understands. But for more complex lessons on grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, etc., they use as much English as possible. The goal is to have us absolutely immersed in and surrounded by the English language as much as feasible.We spend a ton of time listening to audio recordings, watching videos, and working on pronunciation to try to develop "native-like" accents and fluency. The course materials we use incorporate a lot of cultural elements and colloquial English expressions too, not just formulaic grammar drills. The teachersreally emphasize understanding English in various real-world contexts.It's definitely challenging at times, but we have access to lots of resources to support our English acquisition. We have a multimedia computer lab stocked with cutting-edge English learning software that has games, animations, speech recognition tools, and more. We also have an online portal where we can access bonus materials, take practices tests, and participate in discussion forums. There's even a special library just for English books, magazines, movies and music. Resources like these make English feel fun and alive rather than just words on a page.Outside of class, my parents also hired an English tutor for me who is a native speaker from the United States. Once a week, I meet with her for a private lesson where we just have natural conversations in English about anything and everything. She helps me practice speaking more fluidly and confidently. I love hearing her fun stories and learning about American culture and slang!My absolute favorite part of English class is when we get to use videoconferencing technology to virtually connect with students at a partner school in California. We get paired up withEnglish-speaking "buddies" who are around the same age as us. Throughout the semester, we collaboratively work on group projects and assignments, having live video chats along the way. We make PowerPoint presentations, record videos of ourselves, and exchange all sorts of messages and media as we complete our tasks together across thousands of miles. It's an incredible way to practice real communication while getting exposed to a whole different perspective and way of life.These intercultural exchanges make the material feel so much more relevant and meaningful. English isn't just an academic subject - it's a bridge connecting me to actual people and places worldwide. That global perspective is so motivating and makes me want to gain as much proficiency as I possibly can so I can engage with the world beyond China.My parents love seeing me get excited about English, and they make sure to create an "English environment" at home too. We try to watch at least one English TV show or movie together each week, even keeping the subtitles in English rather than Chinese to fully immerse ourselves. We also make a point of ordering English books, games,篇5My Journey to Going GlobalHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I'm a 5th grader at Shanghai World Academy. Today I want to share with you my experiences of going global and how it has impacted my life. Buckle up because it's going to be an exciting ride!It all started a few years ago when my parents told me and my little brother that we were moving to Shanghai from our small town. I was really nervous at first because I didn't know anyone in Shanghai and I couldn't speak a word of Chinese. My mom tried to reassure me by saying, "Don't worry sweetie, you're going to a great international school where the classes are in English." That made me feel a little better, but I was still scared.When we first arrived in Shanghai, everything seemed so big, crowded and foreign to me. The buildings were massive, the streets were packed with people and cars, and the signs were all in Chinese characters I couldn't read. I felt like I was on a different planet! But my parents kept telling me that Shanghai was a true global city and I would get to experience so many amazing cultures.My first day at Shanghai World Academy was intimidating but exciting. I was surrounded by kids from all over the world –China, Korea, Japan, India, Europe, Africa, you name it! At first, Istruggled to make friends because of the language barrier. A lot of the local Chinese kids didn't speak much English. But the teachers went out of their way to pair me up with some other students who could translate. Slowly but surely, I started picking up basic Chinese phrases.One of the coolest things about my school was that we celebrated all the major holidays and festivals from different cultures. For Chinese New Year, we got to watch traditional dragon dances and eat delicious dumplings. During Diwali, we learned all about the beautiful Festival of Lights celebrated in India. And of course, we had big parties for Christmas and Thanksgiving too! I loved learning about all the diverse traditions.My classes were really unique compared to my old school back home. We didn't just learn subjects like math, science and English. We had whole courses dedicated to learning about global cultures, world geography, international politics and more. My favorite was when we did units on famous world explorers and inventors from history. I was amazed by all the different countries and civilizations they encountered on their travels.One of the biggest highlights was when our school hosted international days where each student could represent theirhome country or culture. My family is from Canada, so I dressed up in a cozy red and white outfit with a maple leaf hat. I baked fresh butter tarts for all my classmates to try. Let me tell you, those didn't last long! I also performed a ceremonial aboriginal dance and displayed some beautiful artworks by indigenous Canadian artists. It was so wonderful to be able to share a piece of my heritage.In return, I got to experience so many fascinating traditions from my classmates' cultures. I'll never forget watching the amazing martial arts performances from the Chinese students or getting henna tattoos done by my friends from India. Eating all the different global cuisine was definitely a perk too! From spicy Mexican tacos to savory Italian pasta to sweet Turkish baklava - my tastebuds went on an around-the-world adventure.My parents started encouraging me and my brother to learn new languages too. Since we were living in China, we began taking Mandarin lessons after school. It was really tough at first trying to master those funny tones and writing those intricate characters. But boy am I glad we stuck with it because now I can order my own xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and bargain with the vendors in Chinese markets! How cool is that? My dad's coworkers are from Japan, so we also started learning basicJapanese at home. It's awesome being able to understand languages from all over Asia.Last year, my class took the most epic field trip - we went on a tour around Southeast Asia for 2 weeks! We traveled to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Experiencing those vibrant cities and natural wonders in person was like nothing I've ever seen before. We visited centuries-old temples, tasted mouthwatering street foods, went on safari in the rainforest, and so much more. I made so many wonderful memories on that trip with my classmates from all different backgrounds. It really opened my eyes to how big and beautiful our world is.Attending an international school in a major city like Shanghai has allowed me to become a true global citizen at such a young age. I've made friends from every corner of the planet. I've experienced cultures, languages, foods and sights that kids back home could only dream about. While it was definitely intimidating and challenging at times, going global has enriched my life in so many ways.I may only be 10 years old, but I feel like I've gotten a headstart in preparing for the globalized world we live in today. I know how to respect and appreciate diversity. I'm becoming multi-lingual and culturally aware. Most importantly, I've learnedthat even though we may look different, practice different religions and customs, we're all part of one篇6上海英语走向世界大家好！我是小明，今天我要和大家分享一个有趣的话题——上海英语走向世界。

The Dangers of Smoking。
Smoking is a dangerous habit. It causes many different diseases, such as lung cancer and heart disease. Many people die from smoking-related illnesses every year. In addition, smoking can harm other people who are nearby. This is called passive smoking. The smoke from a cigarette not only affects the person who is smoking, but also the people around them. This is why many countries have banned smoking in public places.Part II Global Reading。

全新版大学英语综合教程课文原文及翻译《全新版大学英语综合教程课文原文及翻译》Unit 1: The World of WorkPart 1: The Changing Nature of WorkThe world of work is constantly evolving, and it is important for individuals to adapt to these changes. In today's fast-paced society, the traditional notions of work are being challenged, and new opportunities are emerging. This unit explores the changing nature of work and its implications for individuals and society.1.1 The Traditional 9-to-5 JobTraditionally, work was often characterized by a 9-to-5 job in a fixed location. Employees would commute to an office or a factory, and their work would be structured around set hours. This model provided stability and a sense of routine for many individuals. However, with advancements in technology and globalization, this traditional model is no longer the only option.1.2 Flexible Work ArrangementsToday, flexible work arrangements are becoming more common. People have the opportunity to work remotely, choose their own hours, and even become self-employed. This flexibility allows individuals to better balance their work and personal lives. However, it also presents new challenges, such as the need for self-discipline and the blurring of boundaries between work and leisure.1.3 The Gig EconomyThe rise of the gig economy is another significant change in the world of work. In this model, individuals take on short-term or freelance jobs, often facilitated by online platforms. This provides them with more autonomy and the ability to pursue multiple income streams. However, it also means less job security and benefits compared to traditional employment.1.4 The Importance of Lifelong LearningWith the changing nature of work, the importance of lifelong learning cannot be overstated. Individuals need to continually update their skills and knowledge in order to remain competitive in the job market. This includes developing new technological competencies and adaptability to navigate future changes in the workplace.Part 2: The Impact of Work on Identity and Well-beingWork plays a significant role in shaping individual identity and overall well-being. How individuals perceive their work and the meaning they derive from it can greatly impact their satisfaction and happiness.2.1 Work as a Source of IdentityFor many people, work is not just a way to earn a living but also a source of identity and purpose. The type of work one engages in can be closely tied to personal values and ambitions. However, it is important to recognize that work should not be the sole determinant of a person's self-worth. Finding a balance between work and other aspects of life is crucial for overall well-being.2.2 Work-Life BalanceAchieving work-life balance is a constant challenge in today's connected world. The boundaries between work and personal life can easily blur, leading to increased stress and burnout. Employers and individuals need to actively promote strategies and policies that enable employees to have a healthy integration of work and personal life.2.3 The Pursuit of Meaningful WorkMany individuals strive to find work that is not only financially rewarding but also personally fulfilling. Meaningful work gives individuals a sense of purpose and satisfaction. This can be achieved by aligning personal values and passions with one's chosen career path.2.4 Work and Mental HealthThe relationship between work and mental health is complex. While work can provide a sense of structure and purpose, it can also contribute to stress and anxiety. Employers and society as a whole need to prioritize mental health support in the workplace and foster a culture that promotes work-life balance and overall well-being.ConclusionThe world of work is undergoing significant changes, requiring individuals to adapt and embrace new opportunities. The impact of work on identity and well-being cannot be underestimated. It is crucial for individuals, employers, and society to work together to create a more balanced and fulfilling work environment. By recognizing the evolving nature of work andaddressing its challenges, we can create a future where individuals find meaning and satisfaction in their careers.。
大学英语教材第一册课文原文
大学英语教材第一册课文原文Unit 1 TravelText ATravelingTraveling by air is becoming more and more popular. More and more people are using the air services. But why do they prefer traveling by air to traveling by train or by car?Speed is one of the important things. You can travel hundreds of miles in a few hours by plane. You can get to most places in the world in twenty-four hours or less. In the past, a journey of that distance often took weeks. Some journeys still take weeks or even months now if you do not go by air.But the most important reason for traveling by air is comfort. On a modern plane, you can sit in a comfortable seat with plenty of room. You can get meals and drinks during the flight. And you can walk around the plane if you want to. You do not have to sit in one place all the time. When the weather is good, you can enjoy the beautiful view from the windows. When the weather is bad, you can read, watch TV or just sleep.But not all air travel is comfortable. Economy class travel can be uncomfortable. You usually have very little room for your legs and there is very little personal service.Still, most people think that it is better to travel by plane than by train or by car. Even though air travel is sometimes uncomfortable, it is both faster and more convenient than other types of travel.ExercisesA. Choose the correct answers:1. Which one is an important reason for traveling by air?A. Speed.B. Comfort.C. Low cost.D. Adventure.2. How long does it take to travel by plane to most places in the world?A. A few hours.B. Two days.C. Weeks.D. Twenty-four hours or less.B. Complete the following sentences according to the text:1. Air travel is becoming more and more popular. _______ ______________ _______ the air services.2. On a modern plane, you can sit in a _______ _______ with plenty of room.3. _______ _______ _______ in the past, a journey of hundreds of miles often took weeks.Text BFour Ways of TravelingMany people like to travel. There are different ways of traveling, and they all have their advantages and disadvantages. Here we look at four ways of traveling.Two of the most popular ways are traveling by car and traveling by train. Traveling by car has some advantages. It is cheap, and you can stop whenever and wherever you want. You can also carry a lot of luggage with you. But there are also disadvantages. Sometimes there are traffic jams and accidents, and you can spend a lot of time waiting. Traveling by train is comfortable and you can see the country. You can move around on the train and you can eat in the restaurant car. But trains are not as flexible as cars. They only go to certain places, and you have to catch the train at certain times.Another way of traveling is by boat. If you like ships and the sea, traveling by boat is an excellent way to relax and enjoy yourself. Boats are big and comfortable, and you can have a very good time on board. You can eat and drink in the restaurants and bars, and you can do a lot of shopping. But moving around on a boat can be tiring. You can only go where the boat goes, and you may have to share your cabin with other people.Finally, there is air travel. It is the fastest and most comfortable way of traveling long distances. You can get to most places in the world quickly and easily by plane. You can eat and sleep on the plane, and you can watch TV or listen to music. But air travel is expensive. And sometimes airports can be crowded and noisy.So if you like traveling, what is the best way? It depends on where you want to go, how much money you have, and how much time you have.。
外研版英语必修四课文原文
The City of the FutureWhat will the city of the future look like? No one knows for sure, and making predictions is a risky business. Butone thing is certain-they are going to get bigger before they get smaller. In the future, care for the environment will become very important as earth ’s natural resources run out. We will use lots of recycled materials, such as plastic, aluminum, steel, glass, wood and paper, and we will waste fewer natural resources. We will also have torely more on alternative energy, such as solar and wind power. All this seems certain, but there are plenty ofthings about city life in the future which are not certain.To find out what young people think about the future of urban life, a teacher at a university in Texas in the United States asked his students to think how they would run a city of 50000 people in the year 2025. Here are some of the ideas they had:Garbage ships To get rid of garbage problems, the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun, preventing landfill and environmental problems.Batman Nets Police will arrest criminals by firing nets instead of guns.Forget the malls In the future all shopping will be done online, and catalogues will have voice commands toplace orders.Telephones for life Everyone will be given a telephone number at birth that will never change no matter wherethey live.Recreation all forms of recreation, such as cinemas, bowling, softball, concerts and others, will be provided freeof charge by the city.Cars All cars will be powered by electricity, solar energy or wind, and it will be possible to change the colour ofcars at the flick of a switch.Telesurgery Distance surgery will become common as doctors carry out operations from thousands of miles away, with each city having its own telesurgery outpatient clinic.Holidays at home Senior citizens and people with disabilities will be able to go anywhere in the world usinghigh-tech cameras attached to their head.Space travel Travelling in space by ordinary citizens will be common. Each city will have its own spaceport.Getting Around in BeijingTaxisTaxis are on the streets 24 hours a day. Simply raise your hand, and a taxi appears in no time. They are usually red, and they display the price per kilometer on the window. You should check the cab has a business permit, and make sure you ask for a receipt.Buses and trolleybusesPublic transport provides a cheap way to get around in Beijing . There are 20000 buses and trolleybuses in Beijing, but they can get very crowded. It ’s a good idea to avoid public transport during the rush hour. Fares are cheap, staring at 1 yuan. Air-conditioned buses cost more.Buses numbered 1 to 100 are limited to travel within the city centre. Higher numbers have destinations in the suburbs. Tourists shouldn ’tmiss the 103 bus which offers one of the most impressive routes, past the ForbiddenCity and the White Pagoda in Beihai Park. If you get on a double-decker bus, make sure you sit upstairs. You ’ll have a good view of the rapidly changing city.Most buses run from about 5:00 am to midnight. However, there is also a night bus service, provided bybuses with a number in the 200s.MinibusesMinibuses with seats for 12 passengers offer an alternative to expensive taxis and crowded public transport insome areas. They run regular services and follow the same routes as large public buses. And in a minibus you always get a seat even in rush hours.UndergroundThere are four underground lines in Beijing, and several lines are under construction. Trains are fast and convenient, but rush hours can be terrible. A one-way trip costs 3 yuan. Station names are marked in pinyin. The underground is open from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm.PedicabsTourists like these human-pedalled “tricycle taxis ”, but they can be expensive. You should talk to the driver, and make sure you know the price before you begin the journey, for example, if it is per person, single or return. Tricycles are worth using if you want to explore the narrow alleys (hutong) of old Beijing.Body Language and Non-verbal CommunicationIf you say the word “communication ”, most people think of words and sentences. Although these are very important, we communicate with more than just spoken and written words. Indeed, body positions are part of whatwe call “body language ”. We see examples of unconscious body language very often, yet there is also“learned”body language, which varies from culture to culture.We use “learned”body language when we are introduced to strangers. Like other animals, we are on guard untilwe know it is safe to relax. So every culture has developed a formal way to greet strangers, to show them we arenot aggressive. Traditionally, Europeans and Americans shake hands. They do this with the right hand— the strongest hand for most people. If our right hand is busy greeting someone, it cannot be holding a weapon. So the gesture is saying, “Itrust you. Look , I ’m not carrying a threatening weapon. ”If you shake hands with someone, you show you trust them. We shake hands when we make a deal. It means, “We agree and we trust each other.” Greetings in Asian countries do not involve touching the other person, but they always involve the hands. Traditionally in China, when we greet someone, we put the right hand over the left and bow slightly. Muslims givea “salaam”, where they touch their heart, mouth and forehead. Hindus join their hands and bow their heads in respect. In all of these examples, the hands are busy with the greeting and cannot hold a weapon.Even today, when some people have very informal styles of greeting, they still use their hands as a gesture of trust. American youths often greet each other with the expression, “Give me five! ”One person then holds up his hand, palm outwards and five fingers spread. The other person raises his fingers spread. The other person raises hishand and slaps the other’s open hand above the head in a“high five ”.Nowadays, it is quite a common greeting.Body language is fascinating for anyone to study. People give away much more by their gestures than by their words. Look at your friends and family and see if you are a mind reader!The Student Who Asked QuestionsIn a hungry world rice is a staple food and China is the world’s largest producer. Rice is also grown in many other Asian countries, and in some European countries like Italy. In the rice-growing world, the Chinese scientist, Y uan Longping, is a leading figure.Yuan Longping was born and brought up in China. As a boy he was educated in many schools and was given the nickname, “the student who asks questions”.From an early age he was interested in plants. He studied agriculture in college and as a young teacher he began experiments in crop breeding. He thought that the key to feeding people was to have more rice and to produce it more quickly. He thought there was only one way to do this — by crossing different species of rice plant, and then he could produce a new plant which could give a higher yield than either of the original plants.First Yuan Longping experimented with different types of rice. The results of his experiments were published in China in 1966. then he began his search for a special type of rice plant.It had to be male.It had to be sterile. Finally, in 1970 a naturally sterile male rice plant was discovered. This was the breakthrough. Researchers were brought in from all over China to develop the new system. the research was supported by the government.As a result of Yuan Longping ’s discoveries Chinese rice production rose by 47.5 percent in the 1990 ’s. There were other advantages too. 50 thousand square kilometres of rice fields were converted to growing vegetables and other countries, such as Pakistan and the Philippines.In Pakistan rice is the second most important crop after wheat and will be grown in many parts of the country. Thenew hybrid rice has been developed by the Yuan Longping Hightech Agricultural Company of China. Its yieldis much greater than the yield of other types of rice grown in Pakistan.A Trip Along the Three GorgesIn August 1996, Peter Hessler, a young American teacher of English, arrived in the town of Fuling on the Yangtze River. He and a colleague were to spend two years there teaching English at a teacher training college. They were the only foreigners in the town. The first semester finished at the end of January and they had four weeks off forthe Spring Festival. They could go anywhere they wished. They decided to take a boat downstream.We decided to buy tickets for the Jiangyou boat. Our colleagues said,“You shouldn’tgo on those ships. They are very crowded. They are mainly for goods and people trading along the river. They don’tstop at the temples and there won ’tbe any other foreigners. ”That sounded fine to me. We just had to show our passports and they let us get on the boat.We left the docks on a beautiful afternoon. The sun was shining brightly as we sailed downstream through a hilly region. Men rode a bamboo rafts along the river ’s edge and coal boats went past. As the sun setting behind the white pagoda. It was beautiful.We slept through the first gorge, which is called the Qutang Gorge. The gorge narrows to 350 feet as the river rushes through the two-mile –high mountains. “Oh,well, ”my friend said, “at least we have two more left. ”At Wushan we made a detour up the Daning River to see some of the smaller gorges. The next day we wentrdthrough the big gorges on the Yangtze River,home of Qu Yuan, the 3century BC poet. There was so much history along the Yangtze River. Every rock looked like a person or animal, every stream that joined the greatriver carried its legends, every hill was heavy with the past.As we came out of the third gorge, the Xiling Gorge,we sailed into the construction site of the dam. All the passengers came on deck. We took pictures and pointed at the site, but we weren ’tallowed to get off the boat. The Chinese flag was blowing in the wind. In a distantmountain was a sign in 20-foot characters. “Build the Three Gorges Dam, Exploit the Yangtze River, ”It said.The Monster of Lake TianchiThe “Monster of Lake Tianchi ”in the Changbai Mountains in Jilin province, northeast China , is back in the news after several recent sightings. The director of a local tourist office, ,Meng Fanying, said the monster, which seemed to be black in colour, was ten metres from the edge of the lake during the most recent sighting. “Tt jumped out of the water like a seal — about 200 people on Changbai ’s western peak saw it, ”he said, Although noone really got a clear look at the mysterious creature, Xue Junlin, a local photographer, claimed that its head looked like a horse.In another recent sighting, a group of soldiers claim they saw an animal moving on the surface of the water. The soldiers, who were walking along the side of the lake, watched the creature swimming for about two minutes.“It was greenish— black and had a round head with 10 —centimetre horns ”, one of the soldiers said.A third report came from Li Xiaohe, who was visiting the lake with his family. He claims to have seen a roundblack creature moving quickly through the water. After three or four hundred meters it dived into the water. Ten minutes later the monster appeared again and repeated the action. Mr Li Xiaohe said that he and his familywere able to see the monster clearly because the weather was fine and the lake was calm.There have been reports of monsters in Lake Tianchi since the beginning of the last century, although no one has seen one close up. Some photos have been taken but they are not clear because it was too far away. Many people think the monster may be a distant cousin of the Loch Ness monster in Scotland. They also think that there mightbe similar creatures in other lakes around the world.Scientists, however, are skeptical. They say that thelow-temperature lake is unlikely to be able to support such large living creatures.Lake Tianchi is the highest volcanic lake in the world. It is 2189 metres high and covers an area of about ten square kilometres. In places it is more than 370 metres deep.。

大学英语课文原文及翻译大学英语课文原文一 Section A:Choose to Be Alone on PurposeHere we are, all by ourselves, all 22 million of us by recent count, alone in our rooms, some of us liking it that way and some of us not. Some of us divorced, some widowed, some never yet committed. Loneliness may be a sort of national disease here, and it s more embarrassing for us to admit than any other sin. On the other hand, to be alone on purpose, having rejected company rather than been cast out by it, is one characteristic of an American hero. The solitary hunter or explorer needs no one as they venture out among the deer and wolves to tame the great wild areas. Thoreau, alone in his cabin on the pond, his back deliberately turned to the town. Now, that s character for you.Inspiration in solitude is a major commodity for poets and philosophers. They re all for it. They all speak highly of themselves for seeking it out, at least for an hour or even two before they hurry home for tea.Consider Dorothy Wordsworth, for instance, helping her brother William put on his coat, finding his notebook and pencil for him, and waving as he sets forth into the early spring sunlight to look at flowers all by himself. “How graceful, how benign, is solitude,” he wrote.No doubt about it, solitude is improved by being voluntary.Look at Milton s daughters arranging his cushions and blankets before they silently creep away, so he can create poetry. Then,rather than trouble to put it in his own handwriting, he calls thegirls to come back and write it down while he dictates.You may have noticed that most of these artistic types went outdoors to be alone. The indoors was full of loved ones keeping the kettle warm till they came home.The American high priest of solitude was Thoreau. We admire him, not for his self-reliance, but because he was all by himself out there at Walden Pond, and he wanted to be. All alone in the woods. Actually, he lived a mile, or 20 minutes walk, from his nearest neighbor; half a mile from the railroad; three hundred yards from a busy road. He had company in and out of the hut all day, asking him how he could possibly be so noble. Apparently the main point of his nobility was that he had neither wife nor servants, used his own axe to chop his own wood, and washed his own cups and saucers. I don t know who did his laundry; he doesn t say, but he certainly doesn t mention doing his own, either. Listen to him: “I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.”Thoreau had his own self-importance for company. Perhaps there s a message here. The larger the ego, the less the need for other egos around. The more modest and humble we feel, the more we suffer from solitude, feeling ourselves inadequate company.If you live with other people, their temporary absence can be refreshing. Solitude will end on Thursday. If today I use a singular personal pronoun to refer to myself, next week I will use the plural form. While the others are absent you can stretch out your soul until it fills up the whole room, and use your freedom, coming and going as you please without apology, staying up late to read, soaking in the bath, eating a whole pint of ice cream at one sitting, moving at your own pace. Those absent will be back. Their waterproof winter coatsare in the closet and the dog keeps watching for them at the window. But when you live alone, the temporary absence of your friends and acquaintances leaves a vacuum; they may never come back.The condition of loneliness rises and falls, but the need to talk goes on forever. It s more basic than needing to listen. Oh, we all have friends we can tell important things to, people we can call to say we lost our job or fell on a slippery floor and broke our arm. It s the daily succession of small complaints and observations and opinions that backs up and chokes us. We can t really call a friend to say we got a parcel from our sister, or it s getting dark earlier now, or we don t trust that new Supreme Court justice.Scientific surveys show that we who live alone talk at length to ourselves and our pets and the television. We ask the cat whether we should wear the blue suit or the yellow dress. We ask the parrot if we should prepare steak, or noodles for dinner. We argue with ourselves over who is the greater sportsman: that figure skater or this skier. There s nothing wrong with this. It s good for us, and a lot less embarrassing than the woman in front of us in line at the market who s telling the cashier that her niece Melissa may be coming to visit on Saturday, and Melissa is very fond of hot chocolate, which is why she bought the powdered hot chocolate mix, though she never drinks it herself.It s important to stay rational.It s important to stop waiting and settle down and make ourselves comfortable, at least temporarily, and find some grace and pleasure in our condition, not like a self-centered British poet but like a patient princess sealed up in a tower, waiting for the happy ending to our fairy tale.After all, here we are. It may not be where we expected to be, but for the time being we might as well call it home. Anyway, there is no place like home.大学英语课文原文二 Section A：Does Mickey Mouse have a beardNo.Does this mean that French men seeking work with the Disney organization must shave off their moustaches tooIt depends.A labor inspector took the Disney organization to court this week, contending that the company s dress and appearance code — which bans moustaches, beards, excess weight, short skirts and fancy stockings — offends individual liberty and violates French labor law.The case is an illustration of some of the delicate cultural issues the company faces as it gets ready to open its theme park 20 miles (32 kilometers) east of Paris in five months time.The Disney management, which is assembling what it calls a cast of 12,000 to run the theme park, argues that all employees, from bottle washers to the president, are similar to actors who have to obey rules about appearance. Anyway, a company spokesman says, no one has yet put his moustache before a job. As one new cast member put it: You must believe in what you are doing, or you would have a terrible time here.But what do people think of Euro Disney People everywhere are wondering whether Europeans would like the American recreation.For all its concern about foreign cultural invasion and its defense against the pollution of the French language by English words, France s Socialist government has been untroubled aboutputting such a huge American symbol on the doorstep of the capital and has been more concerned about its social effect. It made an extraordinary series of tax and financial concessions to attract the theme park here rather than let it go to sunny Spain.The theme park itself will be only part of a giant complex of housing, office, and resort developments stretching far into the next century, including movie and television production facilities. As part of its deal with the Disney organization, the government is laying on and paying for new highways, an extension of Paris s regional express railway and even a direct connection for the high speed TGV railway to the Channel Tunnel. The TGV station is being built in front of the main entrance of Euro Disneyland, and is scheduled to come into service in 1994.If Euro Disneyland succeeds — where theme parks already in France have so far failed — a second and even a third park is likely to be built by the end of the century. Financial experts say that Euro Disneyland, the first phase of which is costing an estimated $3.6 billion, is essential to Disney s overall fortunes, which have been hit by competition and declining attendance in the United States.French intellectuals have not found many kind things to say about the project. The kids, however, will probably never notice. Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Peter Pan, and Pinocchio all come from European fairy tales or stories and are as familiar to children here as they are in the United States. To a French child Mickey is French. To an Italian kid he is Italian.The Disney management is stressing this tradition in an apparent response to suggestions that it is culturally insensitive. Although the concept of the theme park is closely based on the original MagicKingdom in California and Walt Disney World in Florida, Euro Disneyland will be unique in a manner appropriate to its European home, the company says. The legends and fairy tales which come from Europe figure prominently in the creative development of the theme park. Officials point out, for example, that Sleeping Beauty s castle, the central feature of the theme park, is based not on Hollywood, as some might think, but on the illustrations in a medieval European book. Also, a 360-degree movie, based on the adventures of Jules Verne, features well-known European actors.Asked to describe other aspects of the effort to make the park more European, a spokesman mentioned that direction signs in the theme park will be in French as well as English, and that some performers will chat in French, Spanish and English. The challenge is telling things people already know — and at the same time making it different, the spokesman said.On the other hand, this effort is not being taken too far. Another Disney spokesman said earlier that the aim of the theme park is to provide a basically American experience for those who seek it. Inthis way, he said, people who might otherwise have contemplated a vacation in the United States will be happy to stay on this side of the Atlantic.The Disney organization does seem to focus a bit too much on hair. Main Street, USA , the heart of Euro Disneyland, it promises, will feature an old time Harmony Barber Shop to deal with messy hair and hairy chins — and perhaps even offending mustaches. One difference from California or Florida: Parts of Main Street and waiting areas to get into the attractions will be covered over as a concession to Paris s rainy weather.Euro Disneyland s short distance to Paris is a definite attraction. Anyone tiring of American or fake European culture can reach the Louvre art museum by express railway in less than an hour — from Minnie Mouse to Mona Lisa in a flash.Communications figured largely in the Disney organization s decision to site its fourth theme park near Paris. The site is within a two-hour flight of 320 million Europeans. The opening of Eastern Europe is another prize for the company, which thinks that millions of people will put Disneyland at the top of a list of places to visit on their first trip to Western Europe.PREVIOUS HOME NEXT大学英语课文原文三 Section A：Slavery Gave Me Nothing to LoseI remember the very day that I became black. Up to my thirteenth year I lived in the little Negro town of Eatonville, Florida. It is exclusively a black town. The only white people I knew passed through the town going to or coming from Orlando, Florida. The native whites rode dusty horses, and the northern tourists traveled down the sandy village road in automobiles. The town knew the Southerners and never stopped chewing sugar cane when they passed. But the Northerners were something else again. They were peered at cautiously from behind curtains by the timid. The bold would come outside to watch them go past and got just as much pleasure out of the tourists as thetourists got out of the village.The front deck might seem a frightening place for the rest of the town, but it was a front row seat for me. My favorite place was on top of the gatepost. Not only did I enjoy the show, but I didn t mind the actors knowing that I liked it. I usually spoke to them inpassing. I d wave at them and when they returned my wave, I would say a few words of greeting. Usually the automobile or the horse paused at this, and after a strange exchange of greetings, I would probably go a piece of the way with them, as we say in farthest Florida, and follow them down the road a bit. If one of my family happened to come to the front of the house in time to see me, of course the conversation would be rudely broken off.During this period, white people differed from black to me only in that they rode through town and never lived there. They liked to hear me speak pieces and sing and wanted to see me dance, and gave me generously of their small silver for doing these things, which seemed strange to me for I wanted to do them so much that I needed bribing to stop. Only they didn t know it. The colored people gave no coins. They disapproved of any joyful tendencies in me, but I was their Zora nevertheless. I belonged to them, to the nearby hotels, to the country — everybody s Zora.But changes came to the family when I was thirteen, and I was sent to school in Jacksonville. I left Eatonville as Zora. When I got off the riverboat at Jacksonville, she was no more. It seemed that I had suffered a huge change. I was not Zora of Eatonville any more; I was now a little black girl. I found it out in certain ways. In my heart as well as in the mirror, I became a permanent brown — like the best shoe polish, guaranteed not to rub nor run.Someone is always at my elbow reminding me that I am the granddaughter of slaves. It fails to register depression with me. Slavery is something sixty years in the past. The operation was successful and the patient is doing well, thank you. The terrible war that made me an American instead of a slave said On the line! Theperiod following the Civil War said Get set! and the generation before me said Go! Like a foot race, I am off to a flying start and I must not halt in the middle to look behind and weep. Slavery is the price I paid for civilization, and the choice was not with me. No one on earth ever had a greater chance for glory. The world to be won and nothing to be lost. It is thrilling to think, to know, that for any act of mine, I shall get twice as much praise or twice as much blame. It is quite exciting to hold the center of the national stage, with the audience not knowing whether to laugh or to weep.I do not always feel colored. Even now I often achieve the unconscious Zora of that small village, Eatonville. For instance, I can sit in a restaurant with a white person. We enter chatting about any little things that we have in common and the white man would sit calmly in his seat, listening to me with interest.At certain times I have no race, I am me. But in the main, I feel like a brown bag of mixed items propped up against a wall. Against a wall in company with other bags, white, red and yellow. Pour out the contents, and there is discovered a pile of small things both valuable and worthless. Bits of broken glass, lengths of string, a key to a door long since decayed away, a rusty knife-blade, old shoes saved for a road that never was and never will be, a nail bent under the weight of things too heavy for any nail, a dried flower or two still with a little smell. In your hand is the brown bag. On the ground before you is the pile it held — so much like the piles in the other bags, could they be emptied, that all might be combined and mixed in a single heap and the bags refilled without altering the content of any greatly. A bit of colored glass more or less would not matter. Perhaps that is how the Great Stuffer of Bags filled them inthe first place — who knows。

必修三英语课文原文Wednesday, 21 June6月21日，星期三Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley. I have to admit that it definitely feels good to be back in the city again. And what a city—a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906. There are so many beautiful old buildings—many siting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.在红杉林露营并参观了纳帕谷酒乡后，今天是我回到旧金山的第一天。
我得承认，再次回到城里的感觉实在是太棒了。
多么神奇的一座城市啊——一座1906年大地震后重建的城市。
这里有众多美丽的古建筑——不少坐落于大山之巅，城市、大海和金门大桥美景尽收眼底。
My hotel is near downtown, in the Mission District, one of the oldest parts of the city. Many of the people living here are from Mexico or Central America. This district used to be a poor area of town, but is now a centre for art, music, and food. In fact, an art movement called the “Mission School” started here. It’s influenced by graffiti art and comic art. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. It was quite modern and lively. Afterwards, I ate some delicious Mexican-Chinese noodles from a food truck. A real mix of cultures here!我住的旅馆靠近市中心，位于教会区，这是旧金山最古老的街区之一。

新人教版高中英语必修二课文原文及翻译（Word精校版）Unit 1 CULTURAL HERITAGE 文化遗产Reading and thinkingFROM PROBLEMS TO SOLUTIONS从问题重重到迎刃而解Economic development is necessary if we want to improve society.There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future.Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.社会进步需要经济发展。
新旧更替的时代已经到来,在走向未来的过程中,我们不可能将过去的一切都保存下来。
在发展与文化遗址保护之间找到恰当的平衡点,并加以保持, 这可能是一项巨大的挑战。
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions.In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area.But the proposal led to protests.Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage.After listening to the scientists who had studied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.然而, 巨大的挑战有时候会带来伟大的解决方案。
