第一篇：外研版英語(yǔ)初三上冊(cè)課文1-6(英)

Module 1 Unit 1 Listen and read.Betty: OK, come in and sit down!Daming: What's happening? Lingling: We're having a meeting.Daming: That's news to me!I'm doing my homework.What's it about? Lingling: The school magazine.Daming: What school magazine? Betty: Right, listen up, everyone.Did anyone watch television yesterday evening? Did you see the interview with Becky Wang? Yes, I saw it.She went to our school!Well, she started a school magazine called New Standard when she was a pupil here.So why don't we start a school magazine, too? I've written down some ideas.We'll write a diary of school events, and tell everyone about the school concert and the dance club.And school basketball matches.We'll write the articles.Any more ideas? I know!I'll do some reviews about our favourite bands and movies!Brilliant!Anyone else? Yes, some ideas on how to get good grades!Lingling: She sings with the band Crazy Feet.She's my favourite singer.Tony: Betty: Tony: Betty: Tony: Betty: Tony: Lingling: But who will write the articles? Lingling: And I'll do an interview with Becky Wang!Daming: How about “Homework Help”? Lingling: What's your homework, Daming? Daming: I'm writing a composition called “What is a wonder of the world?” I'm reading about the ancient pyramids in Egypt.Betty: “Homework Help”.I think that's a fantastic idea, Daming.Module 1 Unit 2 The Greatest Wonder of the Natural World When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining.I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path.In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark.I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.After about a kilometre, a stranger appeared in front of me.“Am I going the right way?” I asked.He knew where I was going.“Yes,” he replied, “you'll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped.I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks.I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me.I was on the edge of

the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometres below me.If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won't reach the top.Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon.How far is it? It's 20 kilometres, maybe more.Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance...over 400 kilometres long.The Grand Canyon is not just big.It's huge!That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question.It's not “How deep is it?” or “How wide is it?” or “How long is it?” but “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?” I know the answer.But what do you think?

Module 2 Unit 1 Mr Jackson: Hello, Betty.What's up? What are you doing in the library? Betty: I was looking for some old copies of the school magazine.If I've got it right, it was called New Standard.Mr Jackson: That's right.As far as I remember, it was started by Becky Wang.We don't have a school magazine any more.It's a pity.Betty: Betty: Betty: Well, I'm thinking about starting it again.I was also looking for something by Confucius and by Shakespeare.Well, I'd like a monthly article called “Great Books”—you know, someone reads a favourite work of literature and writes an article about it.Mr Jackson: Sounds like a good idea!Go on.Mr Jackson: Really? That's a bit difficult for the school magazine.Mr Jackson: I see.Confucius' works are still read by many people today, and we're still influenced by his thoughts.And Shakespeare's plays are seen by millions of people every year.But how about an American writer, Mark Twain, for example? Betty: I don't know.Mark Twain was an important writer, but he isn't known as a great thinker like Confucius.Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular.In fact, he wrote my favourite book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.Perhaps that's what makes “Great Books”—they're still read today.Betty: So why don't you write the first article on “Great Books”?

Module 2 Unit 2 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Here is our monthly article on a favourite great book.This month, our guest writer is Mr Jackson.My favourite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg, Missouri.He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures.He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days.With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of

gold.My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead.He decides to go to his own funeral.He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears.Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters.Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him.Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The theme of the story are to do with children growing up and becoming more serious.It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America.Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.Why do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today.And although it's only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real.Today it's thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.Go on—read it!I know you'll enjoy it, too.Module 3 Unit 1 Lingling: Hi, Tony.You look tired.Tony: Betty: Yes.I'm training with BIG, the Beijing International Globetrotters, for the School's Basketball Competition.It's the big match next week.Who's it against? Daming: HAS.Lingling: What does HAS stand for? Tony: Betty: Betty: Betty: Haidian All Stars.Oh, yes.You were defeated last time.All Stars 98 points to Globetrotters 52.So when will the match be held? Yes.It's going to be a tough match.I'm going to write a report for New Standard.Lingling: What was the score? Daming: Next Saturday.Are you coming? Lingling: I agree.Are you in the team, Daming? Daming: No, I wasn't chosen this time.Why are you smiling, Betty? Betty: Tony: Betty: Well, I've seen HAS play several times this season, and they're brilliant!And if you want my opinion...No, I don't......you've got no chance!What do you reckon, Lingling? Lingling: I think you're right, Betty.Daming: Well, you won't be allowed to watch with our fans if that's what you think!Betty: Tony: It's true, Daming.Well, I don't agree.We're playing really well this season.I think we're so good that we'll be asked to play in the Olympic Games.Daming: Don't let them get to you, Tony!

(They leave)Lingling: Hee hee!Nice work, Betty!Betty: Of course.They're so mad with us that they'll try harder to win, just to show we're wrong!

Module 3 Unit 2 Liu Xiang—Trained for Gold Sports Yearbook 2004 For Liu Xiang, life as a sporting hero has just begun.First of all, he'll be invited to competitions around the world.He'll be chosen to represent China at the Olympic Games.He's a symbol of China's international sporting success.And now that he's well known all over the world, Liu Xiang will also be asked to appear in advertisements and films, and even to record music.But his coach Sun Haiping is making sure that he trains regularly.Liu Xiang will be advised by his coach on how to be a great sportsman, and by his manager on how to be a star.Liu Xiang is not an overnight success.He was born in Shanghai on 13th July, 1983 and, like many Olympic sports stars, he started training when he was very young.In Grade Four, he went to the Junior Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai.Liu was encouraged at first to train as a high jumper.Then, in 1998, his skill at hurdling was noticed by his coach Sun Haiping.Liu Xiang was helped by a special programme.It was set up in 2001 to help young sportsmen and sportswomen.Liu's races were recorded, and his performance was compared with the world's best sports stars.Sun Haiping used the information to change Liu's training programme.In 2002 he won his first international 110m hurdles event in Switzerland, and in the same year, a gold medal at the Asian Games in Korea.In 2004, Liu won the first Olympic gold medal in the same event for China in Athens, Greece.So what's next for Liu Xiang? Has he found out that there's more to life than training? Will he be encouraged to spend more time away from sport? No, Liu Xiang will go for more medals for China because he was trained for gold!

Module 4 Unit 1 Tony: Dad, can I ask a favour? Can I borrow your digital camera? Tony's dad: Why? Tony: Tony: I'd like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week.Yes, two issues have been published.But it's going to be an online magazine from now on.Do you mean using paper? It's too expensive.If the magazine is online, paper won't be needed.That's an important advantage.It'll be published on the school website, and it can be read on screen.Tony's dad: Is this for your school magazine? Has it been published yet? Tony's dad: What's wrong with an ordinary magazine? Tony:

Tony's dad: Well, that makes me think.Paper and printing have been used for ages.We once got information from books, but now the same information can be read or even listened to on computers.Tony: I wonder...Can books be replaced by computers? Maybe I'll write something for the magazine!Anyway, about the camera...? Tony's dad: Here it is.The battery hasn't been charged for a couple of months.It's been turned off since your mum's birthday party.Tony: It doesn't matter.I'll see to that.Tony's dad: But you must promise that it won't be lent to anyone, and it won't be left at school!Just look after it.Is that clear? Tony: Promise!

Module 4 Unit 2

Can Books Be Replaced by Computers? by Tony Smith Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work.Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons.Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home.And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep.Can we imagine life without paper or print? Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood.People learned to write words on paper to make a book.But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand.As a result, they were expensive and rare.And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China.The first printed books were made by putting ink on a wooden block and holding the paper against it.When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply.As a result, more people learned to read.After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly, in a way that can be compared with the introduction of the Internet in the 20th century.But will books be needed in the future? Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.These machines are smaller and lighter than books so that they can be carried very easily.Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online.So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!

Module 5 Unit 1 Betty: Let's go to the Science and Technology room.It's upstairs.Daming: Come on!This way!I'm looking forward to this!Guard: Shh!No shouting!It's against the rules.Daming: But I want to go upstairs before we have to go home.Guard: Hang on a minute!You mustn't go up there!Come back!Daming: What's the matter? Guard: Look at the sign—“No entry”.Daming: Oh!Why? Guard: It's closed until January.And the Natural History room as well.Tony: Oh dear.My classmates and I have got to write a report for homework by Friday.Well, let's go downstairs.I want to buy some postcards in the shop.Where's Daming? Look at this amazing sculpture.Sorry.I'll just take a photo.I'm sorry.I wasn't paying attention to what you were saying.I was looking at the sculpture.It looks very real.It looks very strange.It's kind of familiar!It looks like......Daming!Oh, very funny!No wonder it looks real.Lingling: Why? Tony: Tony: Tony: Tony: Lingling: I don't know.He's gone off on his own.Guard: Don't touch!You mustn't touch it.Guard: No, you can't take a photo, either.Look at the sign—“No photography”.Lingling: Hurry up!You're taking so long.Let's go.Where's Daming? Tony: Tony: Betty: Daming: Waaaargh!Lingling: It's not a sculpture.It's Daming!

Module 5 Unit 2 The Science Museum in London by Tony Smith The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum.In most museums, there's no shouting and no running, and you aren't allowed to touch the exhibits.But the Science Museum is different...because it's noisy!People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well.Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it's a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad.This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments.For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position.I also go to the Rocket Show.You can learn how we travel into space and back again.Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room.You can compare your speed with animals there.You hear a noise and push a button.If you aren't fast enough, the lion catches you!I'm faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths，physics and chemistry.You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well.For example, you mustn't take photos of the exhibits in the museum.But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.Above all, the Science Museum is free.That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like—it's open every day, from 10 a.m.to 6 p.m.So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum.It's my favourite museum in the whole world.Module 6 Unit 1 Betty: Hey, you guys!Guess what!We've just got an email from a reader of our New Standard!Lingling: Great!What does it say? Betty: It's from Zhao Ming.He says, “I saw your enjoyable online magazine while I was doing my homework on favourite books.” He says, “When are you going to write about environmental education? I'm at a green school in Dalian...” “...and everyone agrees we must be careful about the environment.In fact, there are thousands of green schools in China.It's wasteful to throw away glass, paper and metal, so every class collects reusable waste, sells it for recycling...” Nice idea!“...and raises money to help students in poor areas.But it's not just at school, it's also at home that we save energy and recycle...” “...such as turning lights off, so we don't waste electricity.” And he finishes, “I'm hopeful that if everyone thinks about pollution and recycling, we can protect the air and the oceans, and help save our world.If we don't, the future is hopeless.” Daming: He read Mr Jackson's article!Betty: Daming: What's a green school? Betty: Tony: Betty: Daming: Such as...? Betty: Tony: Let's ask Zhao Ming to write something.Module 6 Unit 2 How to be green by Zhao Ming How green are you? Do you care about protecting the environment and saving energy? Try these questions and see.Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school?

Do you buy new clothes just because they are the latest fashions? Do you open a window instead of turning on air conditioning? Do you buy things produced locally instead of made abroad?

Do you take your own cloth bag when shopping instead of using plastic bags? Do you sort the waste before throwing it away?

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment.Though we are young, we can still do something to help.In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment.Here are some ideas for you.Remember these three words: Reduce, reuse and recycle.Reduce Reduce means “use less”.Don't waste things.This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment.Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good!When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.Reuse Reuse means “use again”.Use things for as long as possible.When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time.We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones.Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag.It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.Recycle Recycle means “change things into something else”.Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them.Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes.We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

Module 1 Wonders of the world

Unit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big 翻譯：

自然界的一個(gè)偉大奇觀

我到達(dá)時(shí)是清晨，正下著雨。我向東方看去---天空正變得陰沉。我下了車，穿過(guò)一道門，沿著一條黑暗的小路走去。什么也看不見(jiàn)，但我知道它就在那里。

大約一英里后，一個(gè)陌生人出現(xiàn)在路旁。我問(wèn)道：“我正走的路對(duì)嗎？”他知道我要去哪里。他答道：“對(duì)，五分鐘后你就會(huì)到達(dá)那里。”最終，我來(lái)到一些巖石處然后停了下來(lái)。我朝那些巖石望去，但是一片寂靜，還是看不見(jiàn)它。

突然，雨停了，云散了。太陽(yáng)從我身后升起，照射在巖石上。地面向下延伸，（逐漸）退落，顯露出谷底的一條河流。我在眺望著自然界奇觀之一------大峽谷。

我俯瞰科羅拉多河，它是在我下面差不多一英里遠(yuǎn)的一條銀色的溪流。如果你把世界上最高的兩棟樓疊在一起放在峽谷的底部，它仍達(dá)不到峽谷的頂端。然后我眺望峽谷的另一邊。它大約15英里遠(yuǎn)，也許更遠(yuǎn)。最后，我向左右望了望，它們?cè)趦蓚?cè)大峽谷延伸200多英里。大峽谷不僅僅是大，而是巨大！

我在大峽谷旁停留了大約半小時(shí)，我問(wèn)了自己一個(gè)問(wèn)題：“大峽谷是自然界中最偉大的奇觀嗎？”我當(dāng)然知道答案。你怎樣認(rèn)為呢？ Module 2 Public holidays Unit 2

Unit 2 我的英雄---白求恩大夫

作者：王玲玲

諾曼。白求恩是中國(guó)最有名的英雄之一。他是一位加拿大醫(yī)生。他來(lái)到中國(guó)，幫助中國(guó)人民并為他們而獻(xiàn)身。

諾曼。白求恩出生于1890年。他于1916年成為一名醫(yī)生，并于1936年去了西班牙，治療那里在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)期間受傷的士兵。他很快意識(shí)到許多人因?yàn)闆](méi)有盡快送往醫(yī)院而瀕臨死亡。白求恩大夫研發(fā)了新方法來(lái)照顧病人。他發(fā)明了在醫(yī)院外面和靠近交戰(zhàn)地區(qū)使用的特殊醫(yī)療器械，這樣醫(yī)生就能夠更快地治療傷員。他的發(fā)明挽救了許多人的生命。

1938年，白求恩大夫來(lái)到了中國(guó)，在抗日戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)期間幫助治療傷員。那時(shí)中國(guó)醫(yī)生很少，因此，他不得不獨(dú)自很努力地工作。他在西班牙治療傷員的經(jīng)驗(yàn)在中國(guó)非常有用。他為當(dāng)?shù)氐尼t(yī)生和護(hù)士開(kāi)設(shè)培訓(xùn)課程，而且寫(xiě)書(shū)以便他們能夠?qū)W習(xí)他是如何治療病人的。

白求恩大夫經(jīng)常非常辛苦地工作，不休息也不照顧自己。曾經(jīng)有一次，他甚至不停地工作了69個(gè)小時(shí)，成功挽救了一百多人的生命。在1939年的一天，在手術(shù)時(shí)，他割傷了自己的手指，但他沒(méi)有處理傷口，仍然繼續(xù)工作。最后，他因傷去世。

白求恩大夫?yàn)橹袊?guó)人民所作的工作使他成為中國(guó)人民心目中的英雄。有許多關(guān)于他的書(shū)籍和電影，而且在中國(guó)和加拿大，人們現(xiàn)在仍然懷念他。Module 4 Home alone Unit 2

我的“完美假期”

作為一個(gè)男孩，就像其他所有男孩一樣，我想做個(gè)男子漢。但我父母為我做一切事情。實(shí)際上，他們安排了我生活中的分鐘。盡管他們愛(ài)我，但我對(duì)他們有點(diǎn)兒滿。“鄭晨宇，做作業(yè)！”“練鋼琴！”“關(guān)了電視！”對(duì)于他們的指令，我非常厭煩，以至于我真希望他們別管我。

哦，我的愿望實(shí)現(xiàn)了！盡管父母對(duì)離開(kāi)我非常擔(dān)心，但他們不得不出差幾天。現(xiàn)在，我的機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)了！我終于能玩得開(kāi)心了！第一天，我一放學(xué)回到家，就高興地把書(shū)包扔到沙發(fā)上，吃了許多點(diǎn)心。然后在電視上盡情地欣賞了一部精彩的電影。在那之后，我玩電腦游戲。我非常喜歡那些游戲，以至于一直玩到午夜。

第二天早上，我很晚才醒來(lái)。我沒(méi)吃早飯就匆忙去上學(xué)，但還是遲到了。老師向我要作業(yè)，但我沒(méi)法交上。肚子里空空的，我不能喝同學(xué)們打籃球！在學(xué)校一整天，我感覺(jué)又累又困。

當(dāng)我到家時(shí)，我盡力做些米飯，卻把飯燒糊了。當(dāng)我做飯時(shí)，甚至還摔壞了爸爸的杯子。我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己連簡(jiǎn)單的飯菜都做不好，我開(kāi)始感覺(jué)孤獨(dú)了。我想要爸爸媽媽趕快回家。媽媽做的飯菜非常好吃，并確保我從沒(méi)忘記過(guò)作業(yè)。爸爸總是幫我解決難題，而且當(dāng)我不高興時(shí)，還給我講些滑稽的笑話。那時(shí)我意識(shí)到，獨(dú)自在家并不總是完美的。

當(dāng)父母回家時(shí)，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)我會(huì)做飯和整理家務(wù)了，很高興。我告訴了他們我獨(dú)自在家的經(jīng)歷，然后我們都笑了。Module 5 Museums Unit 2

倫敦科學(xué)博物館

歡迎來(lái)到倫敦最友好的博物館。大多數(shù)博物館都禁止喧嘩、亂跑，而且禁止觸摸任何東西。但是科學(xué)博物館不一樣。。。這里是嘈雜的！人們談?wù)撍麄冊(cè)谶@里能看到和能做的事情。博物館內(nèi)也有些噪聲很大的機(jī)器。如果你想要得到關(guān)于科學(xué)的所有問(wèn)題的答案，你來(lái)對(duì)地方了。

我喜歡參觀三樓和四樓的展廳。你不僅可以了解數(shù)學(xué)、物理學(xué)和化學(xué)知識(shí)，而且還能了解通訊和環(huán)境知識(shí)。例如，你能弄清楚人們是如何從地下挖煤并用它來(lái)創(chuàng)造能量的。在一個(gè)展廳里他們甚至?xí)忉孹光是如何讓你看到你身體內(nèi)部的。

四樓的發(fā)射臺(tái)是最受歡迎的展廳，它也是我的最愛(ài)，因?yàn)橛性S多物理實(shí)驗(yàn)可以做。例如，如果想把一個(gè)袋子裝滿沙子，你就得操控一種帶輪子的運(yùn)輸車，并把車移動(dòng)到正確的位置。你也能夠弄清楚人們是如何到太空旅行并返回的。

在五樓和六樓，你可以了解過(guò)去的藥物是什么樣的。如果你把過(guò)去的藥物也現(xiàn)在的藥物作一下比較，下次你去看醫(yī)生的時(shí)候會(huì)感覺(jué)非常幸運(yùn)！

對(duì)各個(gè)年齡段的人來(lái)說(shuō)科學(xué)博物館是有趣的。在那里，你總能發(fā)現(xiàn)新的東西并玩得很快樂(lè)。博物館免費(fèi)進(jìn)入，所以你可以在那里待幾分鐘或者一整天。它每天從上午十點(diǎn)到下午六點(diǎn)開(kāi)放。所以如果你去倫敦的話，一定要參觀科學(xué)博物館。它是全世界我最喜歡的博物館。Module 6 Problems

Unit 2 親愛(ài)的戴安娜：

上周，我的朋友大衛(wèi)帶著一個(gè)新的電腦游戲到我家，請(qǐng)求在我爸爸的電腦上玩游戲。我很擔(dān)心，因?yàn)樵谑褂冒职值碾娔X之前應(yīng)該先問(wèn)他一下。他用電腦工作，我只能用它來(lái)做作業(yè)。原因是：他認(rèn)為如果我在電腦上玩游戲的話，電腦會(huì)出故障。

哦，當(dāng)爸爸不在家時(shí)，我們決定試著玩一下大衛(wèi)的游戲。我們把它復(fù)制到電腦上，我們玩完游戲后，把它從電腦上刪除了。然而，當(dāng)我重新打開(kāi)電腦，檢查是否一切可好時(shí)，爸爸的一些文件不見(jiàn)了。后來(lái)，昨天晚上，爸爸使用電腦時(shí)，他非常生氣。他哪里都找不到那些文件了。它們是很重要的文件。

我沒(méi)告訴他關(guān)于電腦游戲的事，因?yàn)槲也幌胱屗业臍狻，F(xiàn)在我感覺(jué)難受。我不確定電腦工程師是否能把文件找回來(lái)。我應(yīng)該告訴他關(guān)于電腦游戲的事嗎？我應(yīng)該花錢修理電腦嗎？

你的朋友，史蒂夫 親愛(ài)的史蒂夫：

噢，天哪！你犯了兩個(gè)錯(cuò)誤。太糟糕了，當(dāng)你爸爸告訴你不要用他的電腦玩游戲時(shí)，你卻用它玩了。更糟糕的是，你沒(méi)告訴他關(guān)于那件事。如果你現(xiàn)在告訴他真相，他會(huì)生你的氣，但至少能顯示出你是誠(chéng)實(shí)的。

你應(yīng)該向你爸爸道歉，也要付修理電腦的費(fèi)用。如果你主動(dòng)放棄你的零花錢，你爸爸會(huì)意識(shí)到你的歉意。

記住下一次要和大衛(wèi)踢足球，不要再玩電腦游戲！

最好的祝愿，戴安娜

M1 u1

詹姆斯老師：同學(xué)們，歡迎回來(lái)！今天，我們打算談?wù)撘幌聦W(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的好方法。準(zhǔn)備好了嗎？誰(shuí)有一些建議？

玲玲：在課堂上我們應(yīng)該總是講英語(yǔ)。

詹姆斯老師：好！讓我們盡可能多地講英語(yǔ)。

大明：為什么不在我們筆記本上記下我們的錯(cuò)誤呢？

詹姆斯老師：那是個(gè)好主意，而且不要忘記在錯(cuò)誤旁邊寫(xiě)下正確的答案，還有什么其它的建議？ 玲玲：每天拼寫(xiě)并大聲朗讀新單詞是個(gè)好主意。詹姆斯老師：非常感謝，玲玲，聽(tīng)廣播怎么樣？

大明：是的，那也有益于我們的發(fā)音。但有很多生詞。詹姆斯老師：你（們）不必理解每個(gè)單詞（的含義）。你（們）只需要聽(tīng)關(guān)鍵詞和主要意思。大明：閱讀也一樣。英語(yǔ)故事很有趣。通過(guò)閱讀我逐漸了解了世界上的許多事情。

玲玲：我認(rèn)為寫(xiě)作也很重要。我們?yōu)槭裁床槐M量去找些英語(yǔ)筆友呢？我們可以給他們寫(xiě)信。詹姆斯老師：太棒了！我同意你的提議。

M1 U2 把你的問(wèn)題發(fā)送給語(yǔ)言博士黛安娜。

很多學(xué)生請(qǐng)求給予如何提高他們的英語(yǔ)水平的建議。這兒是三個(gè)基本問(wèn)題。

第一個(gè)問(wèn)是關(guān)于（如何）理解英文電影和歌曲。來(lái)自湖北的李浩寫(xiě)道：我喜歡看英文電影和聽(tīng)英文歌曲，但我理解的不多。我該怎么辦呢？

看電影和聽(tīng)歌曲是學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)很好的方式！看和聽(tīng)?zhēng)妆椋⒉聹y(cè)生詞的含義。每一遍你都會(huì)學(xué)到新東西。我還建議你和朋友們談?wù)撘幌逻@些電影或歌曲。

第二個(gè)問(wèn)題是關(guān)于口語(yǔ)的。來(lái)自吉林的王帆寫(xiě)道：“我們學(xué)校有一位來(lái)自美國(guó)的老師。我很靦腆，不敢與她說(shuō)話。我該怎么辦？”

你可以說(shuō)：“嗨！你好嗎？”“你喜歡中國(guó)嗎”這些都是展開(kāi)交談的好方式。在你開(kāi)始（講英語(yǔ)）前，你應(yīng)該向她微笑！記住這一點(diǎn)：不要害羞，去試一試。

第三個(gè)問(wèn)題是關(guān)于詞匯的。來(lái)自安徽的張雷寫(xiě)道：我寫(xiě)下生詞，但我很快就忘記了，我怎樣才能記住它們呢？

不用擔(dān)心，忘記生詞是很自然的！我建議你每天把四五個(gè)單詞寫(xiě)在紙片上并放在你的房間里。看到這些單詞的時(shí)候就讀一讀，并且盡量使用它們。

M2 u1 托尼：嘿，大明！你的周末過(guò)得怎么樣？ 大明：很好！我去深圳了。托尼：深圳在哪？

大明：哦，它在靠近香港的海邊上。大約30年前它是一個(gè)小村莊，但現(xiàn)在它是一個(gè)非常大的城市 托尼：這么說(shuō)它是一個(gè)比香港更新的城市？

大明：是的，它是一個(gè)很新的城市。實(shí)際上，它只是在20世紀(jì)80年代才變得重要起來(lái)。它正變得

更大，更繁華。我相信有一天它會(huì)變得和香港一樣繁華。托尼：深圳人口有多少？

大明：我認(rèn)為有1000多萬(wàn)，比中國(guó)許多其他城市的人口都多。它的街道也更寬，更干凈。我認(rèn)為

它是一個(gè)美麗的城市。托尼：我想有一天我去那里看看。

大明：記住去參觀一下地王大廈，它比深圳的許多其他建筑物都高。

M2 u2

劍橋、倫敦和英格蘭

托尼·史密斯

我來(lái)自劍橋，一座位于英格蘭東部的美麗城市。它位于康河河畔，人口約12萬(wàn)。我的家鄉(xiāng)尤以它的大學(xué)而聞名。許多名人在這兒學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)，比如艾薩克·牛頓和查爾斯·達(dá)爾文。這兒有許多古老的建筑和教堂可以參觀。學(xué)生和游客們喜歡乘船沿河旅行。

劍橋距離倫敦80千米。倫敦在英格蘭的南部，位于泰晤士河畔。倫敦人口大約750萬(wàn)，所以它比劍橋 更大、更繁華。倫敦有大約2000年的歷史。它因大本鐘，白金漢宮和塔橋而聞名。

英格蘭本身是一個(gè)島的一部分，四面近海。海岸上的小村莊和海灘是度假很受歡迎的地方。游客們喜歡北部低矮的山區(qū)和美麗的湖泊，喜歡南部的小山和美麗的村莊。在英格蘭的任何地方你都會(huì)注意到鄉(xiāng)村是那么綠。

（在英格蘭）夏天從不很熱，冬天也不很冷。所以在一年的任何時(shí)間（你）都可以來(lái)英格蘭旅游，但要隨身帶一把雨傘，大多數(shù)日子里你需要它。

M3 u1 大明：嘿，托尼。過(guò)來(lái)看電視上的足球賽！托尼：好。比分是多少？

大明：西班牙（隊(duì)）一分鐘前得分了。托尼：哇！太快了！

大明：是呀。上周電視上的比賽很無(wú)聊，因?yàn)楦緵](méi)有人進(jìn)球。所以這周的比賽已經(jīng)令人興奮多了。貝蒂：你怎么了，托尼？你看起來(lái)很疲倦。

托尼：昨天晚上的網(wǎng)球比賽之后我確實(shí)很累，我還傷到了膝蓋。大明：太糟糕了！坐下來(lái)看比賽吧，這比打網(wǎng)球更安全。貝蒂：是啊，看比賽沒(méi)有危險(xiǎn)，也使人更加放松！

托尼：哦，對(duì)此我不確定。沒(méi)有什么比打網(wǎng)球更令人愉快的。貝蒂：但你喜歡在電視上看奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)，對(duì)嗎？

托尼：是的，但那是因?yàn)閷?duì)所有比賽來(lái)說(shuō)，通過(guò)電視看（比賽）比買 票看（比賽）更便宜。大明：待在家中比去體育場(chǎng)更容易。哦，看！托尼：哦，他未射中！哦，運(yùn)氣太差了！

大明：沒(méi)關(guān)系。還有很多時(shí)間，他們可以得分。

M3 u2 努力訓(xùn)練

明天是星期六，但我要去學(xué)校。我并非去上課，而是去踢足球。我是校隊(duì)成員，我們下周將要和另一所學(xué)校比賽。練習(xí)從上午10點(diǎn)開(kāi)始。我們都盡可能早地到校，以便我們有時(shí)間熱身。我們比平常更加努力地訓(xùn)練，因?yàn)榱硪恢蜿?duì)去年打敗過(guò)我們。今年我們想踢得更好。

在冬天訓(xùn)練更加困難，因?yàn)榘滋於蹋鞖庖埠洹Ｒ鼓唤蹬R得更早，所以不要誤了課外訓(xùn)練很重要。

我們的教練很高興，因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在我們整個(gè)球隊(duì)配合的更好。去年我們?cè)趥髑虻臅r(shí)候有時(shí)很粗心，在決賽中我們輸給了另一支球隊(duì)，多么可惜啊！今年我們更加認(rèn)真地訓(xùn)練。那意味著我們獲勝的可能性更大。

M4 u1 貝蒂；今天我上學(xué)遲到了。媽媽：為什么？發(fā)生什么了？

貝蒂：我坐公共汽車。路上出了交通事故，且交通很擁擠。但除了我，沒(méi)有別人遲到。或許我應(yīng)該坐出租車去上學(xué)。

媽媽：那是最舒服的方式，但也是最貴的。在擁擠的交通中出租車也非常慢。貝蒂：那么騎自行車去怎么樣？

媽媽：那是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的選擇，但有點(diǎn)兒危險(xiǎn)。交通那么擁擠。

貝蒂：但我的大部分同學(xué)都騎自行車，而且相當(dāng)安全。不用擔(dān)心，我會(huì)小心的。媽媽：托尼怎么去上學(xué)？

貝蒂：他住得離學(xué)校最遠(yuǎn)，因此他坐地鐵去。媽媽：玲玲呢？

貝蒂：她的家離學(xué)校最近，因此她步行。媽媽：大明呢？

貝蒂：他也和我一樣坐公共汽車去。但那么擁擠！而且交通繁忙。媽媽：好的。你可以騎自行車去學(xué)校，但記著始終要小心。

M4 u2

問(wèn)題：從倫敦到阿姆斯特丹旅行的最佳方式是什么？我打算從倫敦到阿姆斯特丹旅行。旅程要花費(fèi)多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間？最佳旅行方式是什么？你能告訴我坐火車或乘船到那里的情況嗎？信息越多，越好。謝謝！最佳答案：有四種旅行方式。乘坐火車的旅程比乘坐長(zhǎng)途公共汽車輕松，但比其貴多了。當(dāng)你坐火車去時(shí)，旅行前很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間要買票。這通常更便宜。

你可乘小汽車及輪船穿過(guò)北海。這是最舒服的旅行方式，但也是最昂貴的。在預(yù)訂你的旅館之前先訂票。記住在阿姆斯特丹停車很貴，因此住市中心外面，坐公共汽車或火車旅行。

M5U1 貝蒂：昨天晚上我和玲玲去了老舍茶館。托尼：它怎么樣？

貝蒂：非常好！你知道，我想看京劇，因引玲玲提議帶我去那兒。我們邊喝茶邊看戲。托尼：你懂這部戲嗎？

貝蒂：不懂，很難聽(tīng)懂詞。但是那些男女演員都很棒。托尼：你們待了多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間？

貝蒂：我們本來(lái)計(jì)劃只看一個(gè)小時(shí)，但最后我們待了三個(gè)小時(shí)。托尼：你喜歡它嗎？

貝蒂：嗯，它很有意思——那是主要的事情。我希望下次能懂得多一些。托尼：玲玲，你經(jīng)常去看京劇嗎？

玲玲：不，我不經(jīng)常看。我想帶貝蒂去（看看）茶館，因?yàn)樗苡忻Ｍ心幔豪仙崾钦l(shuí)？

貝蒂：不知道。問(wèn)玲玲吧。

玲玲：老舍是一位偉大的作家。他尤其以他的話劇《茶館》而著名。

M5U2

1、《茶館》的故事

《茶館》是老舍最著名的話劇之一。他是在1957年寫(xiě)的。該劇有三幕，展示的是從19世紀(jì)末到20世紀(jì)中期中國(guó)普通人的生活。它給我們講述的是王利發(fā)和他的顧客在他的北京茶館里的故事。它描述了50多年里中國(guó)社會(huì)的變化。

2、老舍

1899年老舍生于北京。1913年他母親把他送到了一所師范學(xué)校。1918年完成學(xué)業(yè)后，他成了一名小學(xué)校長(zhǎng)。1924年老舍離開(kāi)家去了英國(guó)。他在倫敦的一所大學(xué)里教漢語(yǔ)，5年后返回了中國(guó)。他寫(xiě)了許多關(guān)于人們生活的話劇、小說(shuō)和短篇小說(shuō)，他被譽(yù)為“人民藝術(shù)家”。老舍是20世紀(jì)中國(guó)最偉大的作家之一。

3、老舍茶館

現(xiàn)在，在老舍茶館里，顧客們可以邊喝茶邊吃可口的北京食品。如果你喜歡京劇、傳統(tǒng)音樂(lè)或魔術(shù)表演，你可以在茶館里欣賞到它們。老舍茶館熱情歡迎來(lái)自世界各地的人們。

M6U1（玲玲和貝蒂正要離開(kāi)動(dòng)物園）玲玲：你喜歡這個(gè)動(dòng)物園嗎？

貝蒂：喜歡！我終于見(jiàn)到熊貓了！但我對(duì)去看臥龍熊貓保護(hù)區(qū)里熊貓更感興趣，因?yàn)槟莾涸试S人們更近距離地接近它們。

玲玲：想起熊貓和其他瀕危動(dòng)物就讓人傷心。貝蒂：我們需要更好地保護(hù)它們。

玲玲：是的。很我野生動(dòng)物沒(méi)有安全的地方居住，因?yàn)榇迩f和農(nóng)場(chǎng)正大擴(kuò)大，侵占著它們的土地和森林。

貝蒂：還有，經(jīng)常沒(méi)有足夠的干凈的水。我想我們都需要幫助動(dòng)物們平靜地生活。看，有個(gè)告示。玲玲：告示上寫(xiě)著“求助！我們想拯救瀕危動(dòng)物，我們需要你的幫助。” 貝蒂：但我們能做什么呢？

玲玲：告示上寫(xiě)著“你的錢用于照看動(dòng)物”這句話的意思是我們可以捐錢幫助保護(hù)動(dòng)物。

貝蒂：或許我們可以在學(xué)校籌集一些錢，讓我們弄清楚我們還能做什么來(lái)拯救盡可能多的動(dòng)物。

M6U2

1、一種瀕危動(dòng)物

熊貓是瀕危動(dòng)物。現(xiàn)在，大約僅有1600只野生熊貓。動(dòng)物園和研究中心照料著約340只熊貓。熊貓產(chǎn)崽不多，而且幼崽經(jīng)常夭折。形勢(shì)正變得很嚴(yán)峻。科學(xué)家們正在做大量的研究工作來(lái)幫助熊貓多產(chǎn)崽，并幫助幼崽活下來(lái)。、熊貓的家園

熊貓生活中中國(guó)西南部的森林和山區(qū)中。每只熊貓每天要吃大量的竹子。竹林的面積正在縮小，所以熊貓正在失去它們家園。

3、為熊貓建立的自然公園

為了保護(hù)野外的熊貓，政府正是建造自然公園我，也在制訂其他的計(jì)劃。自然公園鐵面積將會(huì)很大。也會(huì)有更多的竹子來(lái)喂養(yǎng)熊貓。出生在動(dòng)物園里的熊貓也可能回到自然公園里生活。、世界自然基金和瀕危動(dòng)物

世界自然基金會(huì)想要保護(hù)所有的動(dòng)物。而且它選擇熊貓作為它的標(biāo)志。我們不想失去老虎、大家和其它任何動(dòng)物，因此世界自然基金會(huì)正在努力工作以拯救所有的動(dòng)物。

M7U1

托尼：嗨！玲玲！

玲玲：噓！我在看書(shū)呢。托尼：抱歉！是本什么書(shū)？

玲玲：是關(guān)于一個(gè)叫愛(ài)麗絲的女孩的故事。有一天，愛(ài)麗絲正和她姐姐坐在河邊，她看到一只戴著一塊手表的白兔，它從旁邊跑過(guò)。托尼：它為什么跑？ 玲玲：因?yàn)樗t到了。托尼：它要去哪兒？

玲玲：去看紅桃王后。愛(ài)麗絲跟著它，掉進(jìn)了地上的一個(gè)洞里。托尼：是的！然后她看到了柴郡貓，它坐在樹(shù)上，正在朝大家微笑。

玲玲：然后愛(ài)麗絲到了三月兔家，他正同瘋帽匠和一只老鼠坐在一起。他們正在花園里舉辦茶會(huì)。托尼：然后愛(ài)麗絲遇到了紅桃王后，她正在玩一個(gè)奇怪的游戲！玲玲：你早已知道這本書(shū)了嗎？

托尼：是的，這本書(shū)是《愛(ài)麗絲漫游奇境記》。在英國(guó)，人人都知道這個(gè)故事。玲玲：那么你為什么問(wèn)我那些問(wèn)題？

托尼：看一看你是否記得這個(gè)故事！哈哈??

M7U2

愛(ài)麗絲正和她姐姐坐在河邊，姐姐在看書(shū)。愛(ài)麗絲沒(méi)有什么事可做。她偶爾看幾眼姐姐的書(shū)。“沒(méi)有插圖也沒(méi)有對(duì)話的書(shū)有什么用？”愛(ài)麗絲想。突然，一只長(zhǎng)著粉紅色眼睛的白兔從她身邊跑了過(guò)去。

那沒(méi)有什么好奇怪的。她聽(tīng)到兔子說(shuō)道：“天哪！天哪”我要遲到了！她也沒(méi)有感到奇怪。接下來(lái)兔子從口袋里掏出一塊表看時(shí)間一只有口袋和手表的兔子？愛(ài)麗絲站了起來(lái)，跟著那兔子跑過(guò)牧場(chǎng)。她看到它（兔子）鉆進(jìn)地面上的一個(gè)大兔子洞里。

隨后，愛(ài)麗絲跟著跳了下去，也沒(méi)想過(guò)她怎么才能從洞里再出來(lái)。她發(fā)現(xiàn)她掉進(jìn)一個(gè)非常非常深的洞里。太黑暗了，她什么也看不見(jiàn)。她往下墜落了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。當(dāng)她往下墜落時(shí)，她在想她的貓，黛娜，突然，她落到了一些干葉子上??

M7U3（瘋帽匠、三月兔和老鼠正在舉辦茶會(huì)。愛(ài)麗絲來(lái)了，并且坐下了.）三月兔：你坐下來(lái)不是很禮貌。我們沒(méi)有邀請(qǐng)你。

愛(ài)麗絲：我不知道它是你們的桌子。不管怎樣，這里有供超過(guò)三人喝的茶水。瘋帽匠：那是因?yàn)樗偸呛炔璧臅r(shí)間。愛(ài)麗絲：我不明白。

瘋帽匠：我們沒(méi)有時(shí)間洗這些東西??

三月兔：所以我們只是繞著桌子轉(zhuǎn)（老鼠唱歌）三月兔：別唱了，老鼠！（老鼠不唱歌了，睡覺(jué)）瘋帽匠：他睡著了。

老鼠：我沒(méi)睡著！我聽(tīng)到了你們所說(shuō)的每一個(gè)字。三月兔：給我們講個(gè)故事！愛(ài)麗絲：對(duì)，請(qǐng)講個(gè)故事吧！

瘋帽匠：快點(diǎn)兒，否則在做這件事之前你又會(huì)睡著的。老鼠：從前，有三個(gè)小姐妹，她們住在?? 三月兔：再喝些茶

愛(ài)麗絲：我沒(méi)有茶，所以我不能喝了。

瘋帽匠：你的意思是你不能少喝！再喝些茶非常容易 愛(ài)麗絲：沒(méi)有人問(wèn)你！

瘋帽匠：我想要一個(gè)干凈的杯子，讓我們都移動(dòng)一個(gè)位置吧。

（瘋帽匠移動(dòng)，老鼠跟著他移動(dòng)，三月兔在向老鼠的位置移動(dòng)時(shí)，把牛奶打翻了，愛(ài)麗絲取代了三月兔的位置，愛(ài)麗絲很不高興，因?yàn)樗媲暗淖雷由嫌信Ｄ蹋?ài)麗絲：噢，真是！這是我一生中所參加的最蠢的茶會(huì)！

M8U1 貝蒂：早上好！詹姆斯女士！你的臉色看起來(lái)很蒼白，你還好嗎？

詹姆斯女士：我很好，但是我看見(jiàn)了一起事故。一個(gè)男孩正在路上邊騎自行車邊聽(tīng)音樂(lè)！大明：那太危險(xiǎn)了！

詹姆斯女士：我正在等著過(guò)馬路，當(dāng)交通燈正要變成紅色時(shí)，一輛小汽車突然出現(xiàn)在拐角附近。它開(kāi)得不快，但它沒(méi)有停下。玲玲：那個(gè)男孩停下了嗎？

詹姆斯女士：沒(méi)有。而且司機(jī)正在通過(guò)手機(jī)交談。貝蒂：所以那輛小汽車撞上男孩了嗎？

詹姆斯女士：沒(méi)有，我很高興地說(shuō)。那輛小汽車剛好及時(shí)停下，但是男孩從他的自行車上摔了下來(lái)并傷了膝蓋。

托尼：那太糟了。

詹姆斯女士：所以當(dāng)你騎自行車時(shí)，考慮一下事故的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)！集中注意力，在紅燈時(shí)停下并且??別的還有什么？

貝蒂：不要騎得太快。

大明：不要和你的朋友肩并肩騎自行車。

詹姆斯女士：還有別的嗎？所有人：不要聽(tīng)音樂(lè)！

M8U2

一天，當(dāng)亨利正在一家飯店工作時(shí)，一條蛇突然出現(xiàn)了并咬了他的手。

幾天前，這條蛇在一箱香蕉里從亞洲抵達(dá)。它爬出來(lái)，并躲藏在某個(gè)地方。

“我正設(shè)法把它撿起來(lái)，這時(shí)它又一次咬了我。”我把它扔到了廚房的另一邊，它落在了桌子上。當(dāng)蛇正躺在桌子上時(shí)，亨利快速拿起他的手機(jī)并照了相。后來(lái)蛇藏到了冰箱后面。

當(dāng)亨利正設(shè)法找到蛇時(shí)，他的手開(kāi)始疼得嚴(yán)重了。他匆忙去了醫(yī)院。當(dāng)醫(yī)生正在給他檢查時(shí)，疼痛得更厲害了。但他們不能幫助他，因?yàn)樗麄儾恢朗悄姆N蛇咬了他。

當(dāng)亨利躺在那兒處理巨大的痛苦中時(shí)，他忽然想起了照片。醫(yī)生把照片發(fā)給一家動(dòng)物園。他們一知道哪種蛇咬了他就給亨利有了正確的藥，并且第二天他就離開(kāi)了醫(yī)院。

“所以如果一條蛇咬了你，拿出手機(jī)或照相機(jī)。給它照張照片”，并且把照片給醫(yī)生看，“亨利建議道。”但如你所知，蛇不會(huì)微笑！

M8U3 我的朋友杰克總是發(fā)生事故。他不留意他要去的地方或正在做的事情。

幾個(gè)月前，一輛小汽車在他從學(xué)校回家的路上撞到他。司機(jī)有點(diǎn)兒累，因此沒(méi)看到杰克。杰克正用手機(jī)打電話，并且騎車到了路中間，小汽車撞上他，他摔斷了腿，在醫(yī)院里住了一個(gè)多月。

上周他摔進(jìn)公園的一個(gè)坑里。和平常一樣，他沒(méi)有看他要去的地方。公園里一些好心人幫助他爬出了那個(gè)坑，然后帶他去了醫(yī)院，因?yàn)樗幵诰薮蟮奶弁粗校疫\(yùn)的是，他并沒(méi)摔斷胳膊和腿。在醫(yī)院里，醫(yī)生給了他一些藥，然后他回家了。

我總是告訴他要小心，但是他不聽(tīng)我的。兩次事故后，他答應(yīng)采納我的建議。現(xiàn)在他非常小心。

M9U1 貝蒂：你在做什么？

托尼：我正在為一篇叫《我們正在增長(zhǎng)的人口》的報(bào)告準(zhǔn)備筆記。

玲玲：哦，現(xiàn)在談?wù)撨@個(gè)問(wèn)題正是地方！北京是一個(gè)人口眾多的大型城市。這引發(fā)了很多問(wèn)題，例如有太多的車輛和噪音。

貝蒂：不僅是北京（存在這種問(wèn)題）。人口增長(zhǎng)在許多國(guó)家都是一個(gè)大問(wèn)題。你知道世界上每分鐘有多少嬰兒出生嗎？

托尼：不知道。你能告訴我嗎？

貝蒂：超過(guò)250個(gè)！那相當(dāng)于一年有超過(guò)1.314億的嬰兒出生。玲玲：我簡(jiǎn)直無(wú)法相信！

貝蒂：中國(guó)的人口大約是13.7億。那幾乎是世界人口約70億的五分之一。托尼：稍等！我也要把它記下來(lái)！

貝蒂：但是在將來(lái)，中國(guó)的人口將不會(huì)增長(zhǎng)這么快，因?yàn)榧彝ヒ?guī)模正在變小。玲玲：你怎么知道所有這些的？ 貝蒂：昨天我寫(xiě)了我的報(bào)告！

托尼：太棒了，謝謝！現(xiàn)在我可以寫(xiě)我的報(bào)告了！

M9U2

喬15歲了，生活在帕克維爾。當(dāng)喬的祖父母第一次來(lái)到帕克維爾時(shí)，它是一個(gè)安靜的村莊。他們有一所小房子，靠近田地和小山。

靠近阿恩維克，一個(gè)擁有200000人口的城市。從帕克維爾來(lái)的人搬往阿恩威克去找工作，并且他們需要地方居住。然而，住在城市中心是很貴的，所以政府在城市中心的外圍建造公寓。很快，帕克維爾變成了阿恩威克的一部分，阿恩威克成為了一個(gè)擁有超過(guò)一百萬(wàn)人口的城市。喬的一家就住在那些公寓的一座中，它十分擁擠，并且垃圾也是一個(gè)問(wèn)題。

帕克維爾當(dāng)?shù)氐男W(xué)校五年前就關(guān)閉了，所以喬現(xiàn)在得去阿恩威克的一個(gè)有2000名學(xué)生的學(xué)校上學(xué)。乘公共汽車到達(dá)那兒要花費(fèi)一個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間。有許多車輛和污染。

很明顯阿恩威克需要更多的學(xué)校、公共汽車和醫(yī)院。它需要新鮮的空氣、干凈的水以及更好的公共服務(wù)。它還需要更多的警察來(lái)保護(hù)它的人民。但是要做所有的這些事情，它需要更多的錢。

然而，錢能幫助解決所有這些問(wèn)題嗎？我們需要更多這樣的大城市嗎？事實(shí)上，這只是一個(gè)故事。但是它描述了全世界正在發(fā)生的事情。有一天它會(huì)是你的城鎮(zhèn)嗎？

M10U1 貝蒂：嗨！男生們好！

貝蒂：我們要去公園滑冰，在湖上有厚厚的冰。你要和我們一起去嗎？ 托尼：你在開(kāi)玩笑嗎？今天真的很冷。

大明：而且，今天還陰天，因此有可能下雪。玲玲：溫度是多少？

托尼：零下八到零下二度！這里的冬天比英國(guó)（的冬天）冷。大明：在英國(guó)十二月份下雪嗎？

托尼：通常不，盡管今年下了相當(dāng)多的雪。大多數(shù)的十二月份潮濕而多雨。大明：貝蒂，在美國(guó)冬季的天氣怎么樣？

貝蒂：我們有寒冷的冬季和炎熱的夏委。在紐約冬季多雪。

托尼：聽(tīng)起來(lái)很棒呀！我喜歡晴朗的天氣，我也喜歡雪。但是我不喜歡陣雨和多風(fēng)的天氣。貝蒂：我也不喜歡。多雨的天氣令人煩惱！我希望我現(xiàn)在澳大利亞。那里很可能晴朗而炎熱。玲玲：如果你喜歡晴朗的天氣，你可以去海南島。貝蒂：總有一天我會(huì)去的。

玲玲：快點(diǎn)兒，走吧！我們可以在公園里滑冰，這樣就會(huì)暖和了。

M10U2 美國(guó)是一個(gè)很大的國(guó)家。從東海岸到西海岸大約有三千英里，因此要認(rèn)真選擇去看的地方和去的時(shí)間。帶上一張地圖，因?yàn)槟憧赡芟胍教幦プ咭蛔摺?/p>

紐約和華盛頓特區(qū)是五月份或十月份游覽的好地方，但是在冬季（兩地）下雪很多。

九月是去新英格蘭游覽的最佳時(shí)間。天氣變得比較涼爽，綠色的樹(shù)葉開(kāi)始變成金黃色，然后成棕色。帶上你的照相機(jī)，這樣，你就可以拍拍秋天的樹(shù)木了。

加利福尼亞在太平洋海岸上，那里的天氣常年很好。帶上你的游泳服，因?yàn)樯踔猎谑路菽阋部赡芟胍胶＠锶ビ斡尽?/p>

在西雅圖西北部，天氣不是很冷，但經(jīng)常下雨，所以要帶上一把雨傘，在阿拉斯加，夏季白天長(zhǎng)而溫暖，但在晚上可能會(huì)有點(diǎn)涼，在冬季，阿拉斯加可能非常非常寒冷。如果你想去游覽阿拉斯加，你最好夏天去。不要忘記隨身帶上一件暖和的毛衣。

與其他地方相比，得克薩斯和東南部地區(qū)天氣通常非常炎熱，陽(yáng)光燦爛，在夏秋季節(jié)時(shí)常有暴風(fēng)雨。

所以游覽美國(guó)的最佳時(shí)間是什么時(shí)候，你喜歡的任何時(shí)候都行！

M11U1 貝蒂：玲玲，生日快樂(lè)！大明：這是給你的禮物。

玲玲：哦，你們記得呀！真驚訝啊！托尼：你可以打開(kāi)它！

玲玲：我想我不應(yīng)當(dāng)現(xiàn)在打開(kāi)它。在中國(guó)，我們晚些時(shí)候打開(kāi)禮物。貝蒂：可是回到美國(guó)，我們立刻打開(kāi)一件禮物。玲玲：那我怎么辦？ 貝蒂：你不必等了！（玲玲打開(kāi)她的禮物，發(fā)現(xiàn)一本詞典）玲玲：哦，謝謝你們。我真的很想要一本（詞典）貝蒂：我們很高興你喜歡它。

托尼：我注意到另一個(gè)不同。在中國(guó)，你們用雙手接受禮物。但是在西方，我們通常不太注意那個(gè)。貝蒂：那很有趣！我對(duì)了解所有的中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗感興趣。多告訴我一些吧。

玲玲：有許多。例如，在我的家鄉(xiāng)，據(jù)說(shuō)在春節(jié)的第一天你不能打掃衛(wèi)生。你不能打破任何東西，那是不吉利的！

大明：你必須只用紅紙來(lái)包紅包，因?yàn)榧t色意味著幸運(yùn)，在春節(jié)那個(gè)月期間你最好不要理發(fā)。

托尼：你不可能是認(rèn)真的吧！

大明：在中國(guó)的北方，人們吃許多餃子

貝蒂：太棒了！它們嘗起來(lái)太好吃了

托尼：我也喜歡吃餃子。無(wú)論怎樣，春節(jié)還有一個(gè)多月呢。先讓我們慶祝玲玲的生日吧！

M11U2

去年我去了英國(guó)。我在那里過(guò)得很愉快，我注意到英國(guó)人生活方式中一些有趣的事情。

例如：當(dāng)你第一次見(jiàn)到某人時(shí)你必須說(shuō)先生或夫人。當(dāng)你互相熟悉或者當(dāng)他們讓你那么叫你時(shí)，你可以只用他們的名字。

有一天，我們?nèi)グ菰L一些朋友并且一起喝下午茶。下午茶并不只是一杯飲品，而是在下午大約4點(diǎn)鐘的便餐。我們吃了三明治和一個(gè)大的水果蛋糕。在英國(guó)，你通常喝奶茶。所以我也盡量喝奶茶。

在英國(guó)，炸魚(yú)加炸薯?xiàng)l是傳統(tǒng)的食物。你可以在高街（商業(yè)街）上的炸魚(yú)加炸薯?xiàng)l專賣店中購(gòu)買并吃它，或者你可以帶走，用手指拿著吃！它非常好吃！

在公交車站，你不要擠上公交車。你需要排隊(duì)并等待你的順序。有時(shí)人們上車慢。一次，我注意到一位紳士拍了拍一個(gè)年輕人的肩膀，有禮貌地微笑著說(shuō)：“對(duì)不起”！你在等這輛公交車嗎？他真的很有禮貌。

M12U1 詹姆斯女士：今天上午的這節(jié)課是關(guān)于急救的，或者給某人基本的醫(yī)療幫助。讓我們想象一起事故。一個(gè)男孩正躺在樓梯的底部，他沒(méi)動(dòng)也沒(méi)出聲。他很疼。我們能做什么去幫助他？ 貝蒂：首先，查明他怎么了。詹姆斯女士：我們?nèi)绾巫瞿兀?貝蒂：?jiǎn)枂?wèn)他。

詹姆斯女士：很好。但是他很可能聽(tīng)你說(shuō)話或者和你說(shuō)話有困難。玲玲：大聲求助（怎么樣）？打120？

詹姆斯女士：好主意，但是在救助（人）到來(lái)之前我們應(yīng)該做些什么呢？ 托尼：讓他舒服些

詹姆斯女士：那我們能如何做呢？ 托尼：把他扶起來(lái)讓他坐在椅子上？

詹姆斯女士：不，那可能會(huì)有傷害！你可能會(huì)讓他掉下來(lái)并且傷得更嚴(yán)重，貝蒂，你一定知道！你參加過(guò)一些基本醫(yī)療培訓(xùn)。

貝蒂：確保他不受涼。用外套蓋在他身上。

詹姆斯女士：這個(gè)建議非常好，貝蒂，你都可以當(dāng)醫(yī)生了！

M12U2

地震往往發(fā)生得很突然，所以很難給予人們警告。通常人們很少甚至不知道在地震中做什么。因此這里有一些建議：（在室內(nèi)）：

不要從高層建筑向外跳。藏在桌子底下。遠(yuǎn)離窗戶和笨重的家具。避開(kāi)火（源）。當(dāng)?shù)孛嫱Ｖ够蝿?dòng)時(shí)，快速離開(kāi)建筑物，但不要使用電梯。保持冷靜，特別是和別人在一起的時(shí)候。要勇敢，樂(lè)于助人。

（在戶外）：

遠(yuǎn)離建筑物，因?yàn)椴糠纸ㄖ锟赡軙?huì)落到你身上。不要站在路燈附近或者電線下面。遠(yuǎn)離橋梁和樹(shù)木。如果你在公共汽車上或小汽車內(nèi)，待在里面。在山里，要當(dāng)心滾落的巖石。在沙灘上，跑離大海并快速向更高處轉(zhuǎn)移。總之，遵循你在學(xué)校所學(xué)到的。你可能會(huì)安全并能幫著救別人。

M12U3 在2004年，一個(gè)10歲的女孩通過(guò)提醒人們海嘯——一股巨大的海浪——正從海面上涌來(lái)，挽救了大約一百名游客的性命。報(bào)紙報(bào)道說(shuō)，因?yàn)閮H在幾周前她在學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)了水下地震，所以她知道正在發(fā)生什么事。

我正在沙灘上，海水開(kāi)始變得很不平常。蒂莉·史密斯告訴報(bào)社的記者。“有水泡并且海水突然退回去了。”我知道會(huì)有海嘯，我告訴了我媽媽。”她說(shuō)。

蒂莉的媽媽和旅館的工作人員迅速行動(dòng)起來(lái)。他們把人們從沙灘上轉(zhuǎn)移走了，僅僅數(shù)分鐘之后，巨大的海浪就到達(dá)了陸地。幸運(yùn)的是，沒(méi)有人喪生。

蒂莉的老師為她感到很自豪 “她是一個(gè)很聰明的女孩??很幸運(yùn)我們班恰好在圣誕節(jié)前兩周正在學(xué)習(xí)這種海嘯。他告訴報(bào)社（人員）。”

I've written down some ideas.We'll write a diary of school events, and tell everyone about the school concert and the dance club.Tony: And school basketball matches.Lingling: But who will write the articles? Betty: We'll write the articles.Any more ideas? Tony: I know!I'll do some reviews about our favourite bands and movies!Lingling: And I'll do an interview with Becky Wang!Betty: Brilliant!Anyone else? Daming: How about “Homework Help”? Tony: Yes, some ideas on how to get good grades!Lingling: What's your homework, Daming? Daming: I'm writing a composition called “What is a wonder of the world?” I'm reading about the ancient pyramids in Egypt.Betty: “Homework Help”.I think that's a fantastic idea, Daming.Module 1 Unit 2 Read the passage and describe what you can see in the photo.Use some of the following words.ancient;deep;high;long;modern;natural;tall;wide

The Greatest Wonder of the Natural World When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining.I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path.In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark.I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.After about a kilometre, a stranger appeared in front of me.“Am I going the right way?” I asked.He knew where I was going.“Yes,” he replied, “you'll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped.I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks.I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me.I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometres below me.If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won't reach the top.Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon.How far is it? It's 20 kilometres, maybe more.Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance...over 400 kilometres long.The Grand Canyon is not just big.It's huge!That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question.It's not “How deep is it?” or “How wide is it?” or “How long is it?” but “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?” I know the answer.But what do you think? Module 2 Unit 1 Listen and read.Mr Jackson: Hello, Betty.What's up? What are you doing in the library? I was looking for some old copies of the school magazine.If I've got it Betty: right, it was called New Standard.That's right.As far as I remember, it was started by Becky Wang.We don't Mr Jackson: have a school magazine any more.It's a pity.Betty: Well, I'm thinking about starting it again.Mr Jackson: Sounds like a good idea!Go on.Betty: I was also looking for something by Confucius and by Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: Really? That's a bit difficult for the school magazine.Well, I'd like a monthly article called “Great Books”—you know, someone Betty: reads a favourite work of literature and writes an article about it.I see.Confucius' works are still read by many people today, and we're still influenced by his thoughts.And Shakespeare's plays are seen by millions of people every year.But how about an American writer, Mark Twain, for Mr Jackson: example? I don't know.Mark Twain was an important writer, but he isn't known as a Betty: great thinker like Confucius.No, but his books are still popular.In fact, he wrote my favourite book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.Perhaps that's what makes “Great Mr Jackson: Books”—they're still read today.Betty: So why don't you write the first article on “Great Books”? Module 2 Unit 2 Read the passage and check your answers to the following questions.1.What did Betty suggest at the end of the conversation in Unit 1? 2.What book did Mr Jackson choose? 3.What do you think happens in the book? 4.What do you think are the main ideas of the book? Great Books

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Here is our monthly article on a favourite great book.This month, our guest writer is Mr Jackson.My favourite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg, Missouri.He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures.He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days.With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of gold.My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead.He decides to go to his own funeral.He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears.Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters.Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him.Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The theme of the story are to do with children growing up and becoming more serious.It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America.Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.Why do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today.And although it's only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real.Today it's thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.Go on—read it!I know you'll enjoy it, too.Module 3 Unit 1 Listen and read.Lingling: Hi, Tony.You look tired.Yes.I'm training with BIG, the Beijing International Globetrotters, for the Tony: School's Basketball Competition.It's the big match next week.Betty: Who's it against?

Betty: All Stars 98 points to Globetrotters 52.So when will the match be held? Daming: Next Saturday.Are you coming? Yes.It's going to be a tough match.I'm going to write a report for New Betty: Standard.Lingling: I agree.Are you in the team, Daming? Daming: No, I wasn't chosen this time.Why are you smiling, Betty? Well, I've seen HAS play several times this season, and they're brilliant!Betty: And if you want my opinion...Tony: No, I don't...Betty:...you've got no chance!What do you reckon, Lingling? Lingling: I think you're right, Betty.Daming: Well, you won't be allowed to watch with our fans if that's what you think!Betty: It's true, Daming.Well, I don't agree.We're playing really well this season.I think we're so Tony: good that we'll be asked to play in the Olympic Games.Don't let them get to you, Tony!Daming:(They leave)Lingling: Hee hee!Nice work, Betty!Of course.They're so mad with us that they'll try harder to win, just to show Betty: we're wrong!Module 3 Unit 2 Read the passage and choose the sentence which best expresses the main idea.Liu Xiang—Trained for Gold

Sports Yearbook 2004 For Liu Xiang, life as a sporting hero has just begun.First of all, he'll be invited to competitions around the world.He'll be chosen to represent China at the Olympic Games.He's a symbol of China's international sporting success.And now that he's well known all over the world, Liu Xiang will also be asked to appear in advertisements and films, and even to record music.But his coach Sun Haiping is making sure that he trains regularly.Liu Xiang will be advised by his coach on how to be a great sportsman, and by his manager on how to be a star.Liu Xiang is not an overnight success.He was born in Shanghai on 13th July, 1983 and, like many Olympic sports stars, he started training when he was very young.In Grade Four, he went to the Junior Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai.Liu was encouraged at first to train as a high jumper.Then, in 1998, his skill at hurdling was noticed by his coach Sun Haiping.Liu Xiang was helped by a special programme.It was set up in 2001 to help young sportsmen and sportswomen.Liu's races were recorded, and his performance was compared with the world's best sports stars.Sun Haiping used the information to change Liu's training programme.In 2002 he won his first international 110m hurdles event in Switzerland, and in the same year, a gold medal at the Asian Games in Korea.In 2004, Liu won the first Olympic gold medal in the same event for China in Athens, Greece.So what's next for Liu Xiang? Has he found out that there's more to life than training? Will he be encouraged to spend more time away from sport? No, Liu Xiang will go for more medals for China because he was trained for gold!Liu Xiang ____.was helped by his sports school to become a gold medal winner has trained for many years, and will continue to win medals will be encouraged to be a star and not a sporting hero

Module 4 Unit 1 Listen and read.Tony: Dad, can I ask a favour? Can I borrow your digital camera? Tony's dad: Why? Tony: I'd like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week.Tony's dad: Is this for your school magazine? Has it been published yet? Yes, two issues have been published.But it's going to be an online magazine Tony: from now on.Tony's dad: What's wrong with an ordinary magazine? Do you mean using paper? It's too expensive.If the magazine is online, paper won't be needed.That's an important advantage.It'll be published on the Tony: school website, and it can be read on screen.Well, that makes me think.Paper and printing have been used for ages.We once got information from books, but now the same information can be read Tony's dad: or even listened to on computers.I wonder...Can books be replaced by computers? Maybe I'll write something Tony: for the magazine!Anyway, about the camera...? Here it is.The battery hasn't been charged for a couple of months.It's Tony's dad: been turned off since your mum's birthday party.Tony: It doesn't matter.I'll see to that.But you must promise that it won't be lent to anyone, and it won't be left Tony's dad: at school!Just look after it.Is that clear? Tony: Promise!Module 4 Unit 2 Read the passage and match the main ideas with the paragraphs.a.The world before books b.The invention of printing c.Life on paper and in print d.Technology and books e.Can books be replaced by computers? ?

by Tony Smith Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work.Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons.Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home.And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep.Can we imagine life without paper or print? Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood.People learned to write words on paper to make a book.But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand.As a result, they were expensive and rare.And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China.The first printed books were made by putting ink on a wooden block and holding the paper against it.When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply.As a result, more people learned to read.After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly, in a way that can be compared with the introduction of the Internet in the 20th century.But will books be needed in the future? Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.These machines are smaller and lighter than books so that they can be carried very easily.Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online.So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don't think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!Module 5 Unit 1 Listen and read.Betty: Let's go to the Science and Technology room.It's upstairs.Daming: Come on!This way!I'm looking forward to this!Guard: Shh!No shouting!It's against the rules.Daming: But I want to go upstairs before we have to go home.Guard: Hang on a minute!You mustn't go up there!Come back!Daming: What's the matter? Guard: Look at the sign—“No entry”.Daming: Oh!Why? Guard: It's closed until January.And the Natural History room as well.Oh dear.My classmates and I have got to write a report for homework by Friday.Tony: Well, let's go downstairs.Lingling: Why? Tony: I want to buy some postcards in the shop.Where's Daming? Lingling: I don't know.He's gone off on his own.Tony: Look at this amazing sculpture.Guard: Don't touch!You mustn't touch it.Tony: Sorry.I'll just take a photo.Guard: No, you can't take a photo, either.Look at the sign—“No photography”.I'm sorry.I wasn't paying attention to what you were saying.I was looking Tony: at the sculpture.It looks very real.Lingling: Hurry up!You're taking so long.Let's go.Where's Daming? Tony: It looks very strange.It's kind of familiar!It looks like...Daming: Waaaargh!Tony:...Daming!Betty: Oh, very funny!No wonder it looks real.Lingling: It's not a sculpture.It's Daming!Module 5 Unit 2 Read the passage and answer the questions.1.In what way is the Science Museum different from other museums? 2.Where does Tony go when he visits the Science Museum? 3.What else is there to see in the Science Museum?

The Science Museum in London

by Tony Smith The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum.In most museums, there's no shouting and no running, and you aren't allowed to touch the exhibits.But the Science Museum is different...because it's noisy!People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well.Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it's a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad.This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments.For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position.I also go to the Rocket Show.You can learn how we travel into space and back again.Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room.You can compare your speed with animals there.You hear a noise and push a button.If you aren't fast enough, the lion catches you!I'm faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.There are also rooms on transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and chemistry.You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well.For example, you mustn't take photos of the exhibits in the museum.But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.Above all, the Science Museum is free.That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like—it's open every day, from 10 a.m.to 6 p.m.So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum.It's my favourite museum in the whole world.Module 6 Unit 1 Listen and read.Hey, you guys!Guess what!We've just got an email from a reader of our New Betty: Standard!Lingling: Great!What does it say? It's from Zhao Ming.He says, “I saw your enjoyable online magazine while I Betty: was doing my homework on favourite books.” Daming: He read Mr Jackson's article!He says, “When are you going to write about environmental education? I'm at Betty: a green school in Dalian...” Daming: What's a green school? “...and everyone agrees we must be careful about the environment.In fact, there are thousands of green schools in China.It's wasteful to throw away glass, paper and metal, so every class collects reusable waste, sells it for Betty: recycling...” Tony: Nice idea!“...and raises money to help students in poor areas.But it's not just at Betty: school, it's also at home that we save energy and recycle...” Daming: Such as...? “...such as turning lights off, so we don't waste electricity.” And he finishes, “I'm hopeful that if everyone thinks about pollution and recycling, Betty: we can protect the air and the oceans, and help save our world.If we don't, the future is hopeless.” Tony: Let's ask Zhao Ming to write something.Module 6 Unit 2 Read the passage and answer the questions in the first paragraph.How to be green

by Zhao Ming How green are you? Do you care about protecting the environment and saving energy? Try these questions and see.? Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school? ? Do you buy new clothes just because they are the latest fashions? ? Do you open a window instead of turning on air conditioning? ? Do you buy things produced locally instead of made abroad? ? Do you take your own cloth bag when shopping instead of using plastic bags? ? Do you sort the waste before throwing it away? We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment.Though we are young, we can still do something to help.In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment.Here are some ideas for you.Remember these three words: Reduce, reuse and recycle.Reduce Reduce means “use less”.Don't waste things.This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment.Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good!When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.Reuse Reuse means “use again”.Use things for as long as possible.When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time.We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones.Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag.It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.Recycle Recycle means “change things into something else”.Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them.Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes.We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.Module 7 Unit 1 Listen and read.Tony's dad: Hi, Tony.What are you up to? Tony: I'm looking for the photos that you took in Australia.Tony's dad: OK, would you like a hand to find them? Great!Thanks.We're doing a project about countries that we want to visit, and I'm going to write about Australia.I have to imagine that I've been Tony: there, and that I'm writing a letter to Mum and you.Tony's dad: Well, have a look at these.Tony: Let's see.Hey!What's that? It's called Uluru.It's a huge rock in the centre of Australia.It's Tony's dad: fantastic.Tony: And this building? That's the Sydney Opera House.It's like a huge sailing boat with water on three sides.And this one is a photo of a shark that I saw on the Great Barrier Tony's dad: Reef.Tony: Wow!It's amazing!Did you see any kangaroos or crocodiles? There were kangaroos that were jumping alongside the car on our way back Tony's dad: from Uluru.But no crocodiles.Tony: They're great photos.By the way, can I borrow the camera again? Tony's dad: Why? Well, there's a photo competition that I want to win!I want to take some Tony: photos at our school dance next week.I bet you do!OK, you can borrow it, but only once you've done your project Tony's dad: on Australia.Module 7 Unit 2 Read the letter and find what the photos show.Thursday Dear Mum and Dad, I'm writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia.At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the Aboriginal name for Ayers Rock.On the first day, we took a helicopter tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high.The colours of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red.The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient Aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world.Uluru is a centre of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives and they're like us in many ways.Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies.The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country.They love all sports, but the games that they love the most are football, cricket and rugby.Because most Australians live near the coast, they love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it's December, it's summer over here.The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green.There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.Most Australians speak English, although they have some special expressions such as “Good day!” and “No worries, mate.” They mean “Hello!” and “Don't worry about it.It's not a problem!” The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel ride.The camel that I rode had a bad temper, and I got very tired.Everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down...Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home.It's been a fantastic trip!Love, Tony Module 8 Unit 1 Listen and read.Lingling: There are a lot of people here!Well, everyone wants to come to the school dance.The trouble is, I want Tony: to get some good photos, but I can't see over people's heads.Daming: Are you going to enter the photo competition? Tony: You bet!By the way, is that He Zhong at the front? What's he doing here? Betty: Same as you!Daming: Who's He Zhong? Tony: He's the photographer who won the photo competition last time!Daming: The one who won the photo competition last summer? Tony: That's right.Lingling: Shh!It's the Blues Boys playing!It's the band which gets everyone dancing.Tony: Those drums are really loud!Maybe I'll go upstairs.OK, but look after your camera!Betty:(Later...)

Betty: Hi, Tony.How did you get on? Fine.I got some great shots of the boy who plays the guitar on the left.Tony: Where is He Zhong? Betty: He left early.There was something wrong with his camera.Tony: Great!Now I'm in with a chance to win!Lingling: But, Tony...where's your camera? Tony: It's here, in my bag.Oh no, it's gone!Betty: You're kidding!Tony: But I had it a minute ago.Perhaps I left it upstairs...Betty: He's quite unhappy.Lingling: His father is the person who will be most unhappy.Tony's dad: Hi, everyone!Betty: Oh!Mr Smith!Help!I mean...hello!Tony? Er, we didn't expect to see you!Tony's dad: I've just come to pick Tony up.Did he try out my camera? Module 8 Unit 2 Read the passage.Results of Student Photo Competition We were very pleased with the photo competition.Compared with other years, we received many more photos.Even though all of the photos are excellent, we can't give prizes to everyone.There are four prizes, so read on to find out who the winners are.The person who won the prize for the Most Beautiful Nature photography is fifteen-year-old Li Wei.Li took photos of the mountains in Xiangshan Park.The park isn't far from his home, about 500 metres, and he knows it very well.The photo which we liked best in the Historic China group was taken by Zhao Min.Zhao is only 12 years old.Her photo is of Tian'anmen Square, the largest public square in the world.It's 880 metres from north to south and 500 metres wide at the northern end.Her photo shows the size and beauty of the square perfectly.The best photo in the Music category was taken by He Zhong.His photo of this year's best band Crazy Feet shows the singer, Becky Wang, and the band playing at a concert in Shenzhen.He Zhong manages to show the movement and the sounds of this great new band, and the fun which their fans are having.A collection of photos called “The Many Faces of Our City” which features Beijing won the prize for the Most Unusual category.Three pupils at the same school worked on this entry.It includes photos of different parts of the city, old and new.It successfully shows the rich culture which makes Beijing so famous.Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered the competition.We are very lucky that the famous photographer John William is in China to talk about his new book.He has agreed to present the prizes at the prize giving ceremony at the end of this month.Module 9 Unit 1 Listen and read.Daming: Oh dear!Where's the camera? What's Tony's dad going to say? Betty: This is like a cartoon story.Lingling: Why? I can imagine every drawing in the cartoon, and I know what the ending will Betty: be.Daming: The cartoons I like have lots of jokes.Lingling: But it's no laughing matter.This is serious.Betty: This isn't one of those cartoons which make you laugh.Daming: And the characters I like are heroes like Superman or Batman.Lingling: We need someone like Superman who can save Tony...Mr Jackson: Hello, I'm looking for Tony.Daming: He's over there!Could you tell him I'd like to have a word with him? I've got a camera which Mr Jackson: has got his name on it.It was upstairs.Daming: That's good news.Shall I give it to him? Mr Jackson: OK.Here you are.Betty: Oh, Tony's dad is going over to speak to him.If Tony tells his dad that he's lost the camera he borrowed, he'll be in Daming: deep trouble.Lingling: How can we let Tony know that we've got his dad's camera? Daming: I know!Let's take a photo.He'll see the flash.Betty: That's a smart idea!Give it to me!Well, it may not be very funny, but perhaps it'll be a cartoon which has Lingling: a happy ending.And I'll be Superman!Betty:(Snap.)

Module 9 Unit 2 Read the passage and match the words or phrases in the box with the cartoons.cute;emperor;fan club;heaven;lovable;mess;monster;private

Cartoon Heroes Nemo, a cute orange-and-white fish, and Shrek, a huge green monster have won the hearts of young people in China and all over the world.The heroes of popular cartoons are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and computer screens.But there are some cartoon favourites which are older.The cartoon of the Monkey King has just had its “40th birthday”.Called Havoc in Heaven, it tells the story of a monkey who leads a group of monkeys against the rule of the Emperor in heaven.He flies into a peach garden and eats as many peaches as he likes.He makes a mess in each room in heaven.But it is above all the jokes played by the monkey that people remember.“Havoc in heaven” has become a common expression used by a parent or a boss when they return to the house or office and see a mess.Another favourite who has celebrated an important birthday in China is a reporter with red hair and a small white dog.Tintin has travelled to the jungles, the backstreets of Shanghai and even the surface of the moon.Tintin has been popular for 75 years, ever since Belgian cartoonist Hergé invented the character in 1929.His books have been translated into more than 50 languages, and about 200 million copies have been sold.In December 1984 the whole series of Tintin began to be published in China.Many Chinese still keep collections of these black-and-white Tintin books.There are several fan clubs in China which have held birthday parties for Tintin in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Wuhan.Finally, Snoopy, Charlie Brown's lovable dog who lives in his own private dream world, also has his “50th birthday” celebrated by China's Snoopy fans in 2000.“I didn't draw the cartoons only for children.Adults who have experienced life understand them better,” said the late Charles Schultz, creator of Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons.Module 10 Unit 1 Listen and read.Lingling: How was your basketball training? Tony: It was OK, but I'm a bit tired.My legs ache a bit.Lingling: Don't give up if you want to stay fit.You're lucky you're only playing in the school team!I've got a friend whose brother is training for the Olympics.There's a boy in our team whose parents want him to go to a sports school.Daming: But he's not fit or strong enough.Lingling: He'll need to take a lot of exercise—go running or do weight training.Daming: So what happened about the camera, Tony? Don't talk to me about that!I think my dad guessed that I nearly lost it at Tony: the school dance.I'm not allowed to use it any more.But we need some photos of the next basketball match.Are you going to buy Daming: a camera? Unlikely!It's my father who gives me my pocket money, and he's the person Tony: whose camera I nearly lost.Hi, everyone.Guess what!I've just bumped into the head teacher.He said he Betty: wanted to see me.Daming: What's up? Betty: He wants to talk about New Standard.Daming: Ask him if he wants to write something about staying healthy.Betty: He doesn't look like someone whose fitness and health interest him very much!Daming: Good luck, Betty.Module 10 Unit 2 Read the passage and match the headings with the paragraphs.a.What is healthy food? b.Getting things done c.What's on the menu? d.Improving school meals

Feed Me Better Jamie Oliver is a young cook who wants to improve school dinners.In 2005 he went back to school to see what the children were eating.What's on the menu?

Jamie asked the children what their meals were like.“We have hamburgers and chips, or pizza,” they told him, “and sometimes here is fruit, but we prefer ice cream.” Jamie thought the menu was terrible.The children were eating junk food, and it was problem.Junk food isn't just bad for the body.Children whose midday meals were unhealthy were difficult to teach in he afternoon.Teachers said that children behaved very badly after lunch.Improving school meals

When Jamie took vegetables into class, the children didn't know what they were.Jamie realised that the children didn't know about healthy food.Then he talked to the people who worked in the kitchens.He found out that they didn't know enough about food and health, and they didn't have very much money to spend.What is healthy food?

He decided to teach the cooks and the children about healthy food.It was hard work!He cooked healthy meals for them including meat, rice, pasta and vegetables, but a lot of the teenagers refused to eat the new food.Jamie showed them why the junk food wasn't healthy.In the end, when Jamie persuaded them to try his cooking, they liked it!Getting things done

Jamie talked to the government.He told them they needed to ban junk food from schools, train the cooks, educate the children and pend more money on school dinners.A lot of parents, teachers and children agreed with him.The newspapers wrote articles about him, and a TV programme showed his visits to the school.Jamie is a cook whose ideas are changing school dinners all over Britain.Module 11 Unit 1 Listen and read.Tony: So what's next for New Standard?

Hi!It was OK.You know the school prize-giving's coming up next week, with Betty: the usual form prizes, the basketball competition...Daming: And the photo competition......and a special prize for New Standard, the best new school magazine in Betty: Beijing.Daming: That's thanks to my “Homework Help”.Betty: And guess who's going to present the prizes? Daming: No idea!Becky Wang, the singer with Crazy Feet, and the person who started New Betty: Standard!Tony: I don't believe it!Module 11 Unit 2 Read the passage.Visions of the City Jo is 15 and lives in Parkville.When Jo's grandparents first came to Parkville 50 years ago, it was a quiet country village in the centre of the country.At that time, they had a small house on the edge of town, with some fields and the hills in the distance.But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick, with about 200,000 people.People from the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life.And of course they needed somewhere to live.However, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge of the city.And soon, Parkville became a suburb of Arnwick.It now has over a million people.Jo's family live in one of those new flats—there's no room for small houses any more.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago.Jo goes to a school close to the centre of Arnwick, with 2,000 pupils.No one knows all their names.It takes Jo an hour to get to school, and this adds to the traffic and pollution.But it's not her fault.She liked her old school.Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, better public transport and fewer private cars.There need to be shops and offices.It also needs clean water and no rubbish in the streets.It's difficult to run a big city, and to protect people from crime.So it also needs more laws and more police, and more taxes to pay for everything.Well, what do you think of all this? Do you like the things which are happening in Parkville? In fact, “Visions of the city” is just a story.But does your town have the same problems as Arnwick?
