Module1 Wonders of the world

Unit 1 It’s more than 2,000 years old.

Tony: Let's call Wonders of the World and join in the discussion. I think natural wonders are more interesting than man-made ones. And I think the Giant's Causeway is the most fantastic natural

wonder.

Lingling: Hm, I’ve never seen it, so I'm not sur e I agree with you. Why do you like it, Tony?

Tony: Well, I visited the Giant's Causeway two years ago. It's huge. There're about 40,000 rocks, most of them with six sides. It goes for several hundred metres on the eastern coast of Northern

Ireland

Lingling: That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic. They're about l,700 metres wide and 100 metres high. You can hear the loud noise a few kilometres away. Betty: Wow, that's huge! But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones.

Look at the Terracotta Army. It's more than 2.000 years old.

Daming: I agree with you, Betty. And I think the Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. It's about 2,300 metres long, 185 metres high and 15 metres wide at the top. It produces electricity for millions

of people in China.

Betty: Now, who'd like to call first?

Module 1 Wonders of the world

Unit 1: It’s more than 2000 yea rs old.

托尼:我们给《世界奇观》节目打电话，加入讨论吧。我觉得自然奇观比人造奇观更有趣。而且我认为巨人之路是最神奇的自然奇观。

玲玲:嗯，我没有见过巨人之路，所以我不知道该不该同意你的看法。你为什么会喜欢它呢，托尼？托尼:哦，两年前我浏览了巨人之路。它非常大，由大约4万多块石块组成，大多数石块都有六个面。巨人之路位于北爱尔兰东海岸，绵延数百米。

玲玲:听起来很神奇，但我认为非洲的维多利亚瀑布更壮观。瀑布宽约1700米，高约100米，数千米之外就能听到瀑布的巨响。

贝蒂:哇！那么大啊！但是，在我看来，人造奇观比自然奇观更激动人心。就说兵马俑吧，它们都有两千多年的历史了。

大明:我同意你的看法，贝蒂。我觉得三峡大坝也很神奇。大坝长约2300米，高185米，顶部宽15米。它为中国数百万的人口供电。

贝蒂:那现在谁来拨打热线？

Unit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big.

A great wonder of the natural world

When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east -- the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.

After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. "Am I going the right way?" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes," Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it.

Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world - the Grand Canyon.

I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200

miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!

I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself. "Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder of the natural world?" I certainly know the answer. What do you think?

Unit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big .

自然界的一大奇观

我到那里时是大清早，天下着雨。我朝东边看了看，天空变得灰蒙蒙的。我下了车，穿过一道门，沿着一条黑暗的小路前行。虽然什么也看不见，但我知道它就在那里。

大约走了一英里，小路边出现了一个陌生人。我问道：“我走的路对吗？”他知道我要去哪里。他答道：“对，五分钟后你就能到达那里。”终于，我走到一些岩石前停了下来。我朝那片岩石望过去，但是一片寂静，还是看不见它。

突然，雨停了，云散了。太阳从我身后升起，照在岩石上。地面(仿佛在随着光线)向下延伸，（逐渐）退落到下面的一条河里。我在眺望着这自然界奇观之一的大峡谷。

我俯视着距我一英里之遥的银色的科罗拉多河。即使你把世界上最高的两栋建筑物叠在一起放在谷底，它们仍就到不到了顶。然后我眺望峡谷的另一边。它大约在15英里之外，也许更远。最后，我向左右遥望，大峡谷向两边延伸, 长达200多英里。大峡谷不仅仅是大，而是巨大！

我在大峡谷伫立半小时有余，我问了自己一个问题：“大峡谷是自然界中最壮观的奇观吗？”我心中自然已有答案。你怎么认为呢？

Module 2 Public Holidays

Unit 1

Tony: The First of October is China's National Day, isn 't it, Lingling?

Lingling: Yes. The People's Republic of China was founded on 1st October 1949. People have celebrated the National Day since then. There are flowers and national flags everywhere, and we have a

three-day holiday.

Tony: Do you have any plans for the holiday this year?

Lingling: Yes. My parents and I are going to visit some friends in Shandong Province and will stay there until the end of the holiday. While we're staying with our friends, we're going to spend one day

in Qingdao. When is your national day, Betty'?

Betty : Our national day is called Independence Day. It's on 4th July. We've celebrated it since 1777. It's

a public holiday, but we only have one day off. On that day, there are all kinds of holiday

activities. It's the start of the vacation season and most people take a vacation sometime in July

or August.

Lingling: And is there anything special on that day?

Betty: Well, you can see American flags everywhere. We usually have a picnic somewhere nice. Kids have great fun. We also watch bands play music in public parks.

Daming: Do you have a national day in the UK, Tony?

Tony: No, we don't --- we celebrate Christmas with a two-day holiday. And my family always go somewhere interesting as soon as the holiday begins.

Module 2 Public holidays

Unit 1 My family always go somewhere interesting as soon as the holiday begins.

托尼: 玲玲, 10月1日是中国的国庆节，对吗？

玲玲: 是的。中华人民共和国成立于1949年10月1日。从那时开始，中国人（每年）都庆祝国庆节。（国庆节时）到处都有鲜花和国旗，我们休假3天。

托尼: 这个国庆假期你有什么计划吗？

玲玲: 有。我和爸爸妈妈准备去山东省拜访一些朋友。我们会一直待在那里，直至假期结束。和朋友们在一起期间，我们会去青岛玩一天。贝蒂，你们的国庆节是什么时候呀？

贝蒂: 我们的国庆节叫独立日，在7月4日。从1777年以来，我们一直庆祝这个节日。独立日是一

个公共假日，但我们只放一天假。那一天有各种各样的节日活动。这个时间是休假季节的开始，大多数人都会在七月或八月的某段时间休假。

玲玲: 那天有什么特别的事情吗？

贝蒂: 嗯，到处都可以看到美国国旗。我们通常会去一些好地方野餐。孩子们玩得可开以了。我们也可以在公园里观看乐队演奏乐曲。

大明: 托尼，你们英国也过国庆节吗？

托尼: 不，我们没有。我们放假两天庆祝圣诞节。假期一开始，我们一家就会去某人好玩的地方。

Module 2 Unit 2

Thanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.

We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food.

We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food .We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. We usually eat too much, but it is only once a year! We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well. When it is all over, everyone helps wash the dishes.

The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy's store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.

Unit 2 We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers arrived in America .

感恩节

感恩节是美国的一个节日。人们在每年十一月的第四个星期四庆祝它。它是家人和朋友共进特殊晚餐的时刻。人们发表简短的致辞，为食物而感恩。

自首批来自英格兰的拓荒者在17世纪乘船抵达美洲大陆以来，我们就一直庆祝这个节日。在横渡大西洋时，他们当中的许多人都死在途中。到达美洲后，他们所渡过的第一个冬天比英国以往的任何一个冬季都要恶劣。当地人，也就是美洲印第安人，教这些拓荒者们如何种植玉米。第二年，他们聚在一起品尝新收获的食物，一起欢庆丰收。

今天我们仍然用传统的晚餐庆祝感恩节。厨房总是我们家最拥挤的房间，因为我们都帮着准备晚餐。我们摆放餐具，晚餐开始前，我父亲感谢食物，我们用这样的方式在记住我们为什么庆祝这个节日。我们通常会吃很多，毕竟一年只有一次！晚餐后我们经常谈论很多，也讲故事。当这些都结束后，所有人都帮着洗餐具。

这个节日是旅行非常频繁的时候，因为这个时候朋友、家人都相聚来庆祝节日。在节日期间还有很多其他可看可做的事情。我们住在纽约市，所以去观看梅西感恩节大游行。大游行沿着几条街道进行，在著名的梅西百货公司结束。感恩节是圣诞季的开始，我们开始逛街购买礼物。足球在感恩节也是重要的，因为有许多球队进行比赛。和许多美国人一样，我们通常在电视上观看比赛，尽享乐趣。

李老师：我明白了。嗯，我觉得她不仅是一位出色的运动员，而且还是一个好学生。

大明：是的。而且北京奥运会成为世界体育运动的一次胜利，也有她的功劳。她就是最棒的！

李老师：她是一位真正的英雄。

M3 U2 My hero—Dr Norman Bethune

By Wang Lingling

Norman Bethune is one of the most famous heroes in China. He was a Canadian doctor. He came to China to help the Chinese people and died for them.

Norman Bethune was born in 1890.He became a doctor in 1916 and went to Spain in 1936 to treat the wounded soldiers during the war there. He soon realised that many people were dying because they did not get to hospital quickly enough. Dr Bethune developed new ways of taking care of the sick. He invented special medical tools to use outside hospitals and chose to the fighting areas so that doctors could treat the wounded more quickly. His inventions saved many lives.

In 1938, Dr Bethune came to China and helped treat the wounded during the Anti Japanese War. At that time, there were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own. His experience of treating people in Spain was Useful in China. He developed training courses for local doctors and nurses, and wrote books so that they could learn about how he treated the sick.

Dr Bethune often worked very hard without resting or taking care of himself; Once, he even worked for sixty-nine hours without stopping and managed to save over a hundred lives. One day in 1939,he cut his finger during an operation, but he continued his work without treating it. In the end, he died of his wound.

Dr Bethune’s work for the Chinese people made him a hero in China. There are many books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both China and Canada today.

Unit 2 There were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own.

我的英雄---白求恩大夫

诺曼●白求恩是中国最有名的英雄之一。他是一位加拿大医生。他来到中国，帮助中国人民并为他们而献身。

诺曼●白求恩出生于1890年。他于1916年成为一名医生，并于1936年去了西班牙，治疗那里在战争期间受伤的士兵。他很快意识到许多人因为没有尽快送往医院而濒临死亡。白求恩大夫研发了新方法来照顾病人。他发明了在医院外面和靠近交战地区使用的特殊医疗器械，这样医生就能够更快地治疗伤员。他的发明挽救了许多人的生命。

1938年，白求恩大夫来到了中国，在抗日战争期间帮助治疗伤员。那时中国医生很少，因此，他不得不独自很努力地工作。他在西班牙治疗伤员的经验在中国非常有用。他为当地的医生和护士开设培训课程，而且写书以便他们能够学习他是如何治疗病人的。

白求恩大夫经常非常辛苦地工作，不休息也不照顾自己。曾经有一次，他甚至不停地工作了69个小时，成功挽救了一百多人的生命。在1939年的一天，在手术时，他割伤了自己的手指，但他没有处理伤口，仍然继续工作。最后，他因伤去世。

白求恩大夫为中国人民所作的工作使他成为中国人民心目中的英雄。有许多关于他的书籍和电影，而且在中国和加拿大，人们现在仍然怀念他。

Module4 Unit2

My “perfect holiday”

As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did everything for me. Actually, they managed every minute of my life. Although they

loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. “Zheng Chenyu, do your homework!”

“Practise the piano!’’ “Turn off the TV! ’’ I became so bored wi th their orders that I

wished they would leave me alone.

Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Now was my chance! I could have some fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw

my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked the games so much that I played

until mid-night.

The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without breakfast, but I was still late. The teacher asked me for my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball with my classmates! I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long.

When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped my father's cup when I was cooking! I found myself so bad at simple cooking tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wanted Mum and Dad to come home soon. Mum cooked such delicious food, and made sure I never forgot my homework. Dad always helped me with any difficult questions, and told funny jokes when I was unhappy. Then I realised being home alone was not always perfect.

When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my home alone story and we all laughed

Unit 2 I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.

我的“完美假期”

作为一个男孩，就像其他所有男孩一样，我想做个男子汉。但我父母为我做一切事情。实际上，他们安排了我生活中的分钟。尽管他们爱我，但我对他们有点儿满。“郑晨宇，做作业！”“练钢琴！”“关了电视！”对于他们的指令，我非常厌烦，以至于我真希望他们别管我。

哦，我的愿望实现了！尽管父母对离开我非常担心，但他们不得不出差几天。现在，我的机会来了！我终于能玩得开心了！第一天，我一放学回到家，就高兴地把书包扔到沙发上，吃了许多点心。然后在电视上尽情地欣赏了一部精彩的电影。在那之后，我玩电脑游戏。我非常喜欢那些游戏，以至于一直玩到午夜。ou

第二天早上，我很晚才醒来。我没吃早饭就匆忙去上学，但还是迟到了。老师向我要作业，但我没法

交上。肚子里空空的，我不能喝同学们打篮球！在学校一整天，我感觉又累又困。

当我到家时，我尽力做些米饭，却把饭烧糊了。当我做饭时，甚至还摔坏了爸爸的杯子。我发现自己连简单的饭菜都做不好，我开始感觉孤独了。我想要爸爸妈妈赶快回家。妈妈做的饭菜非常好吃，并确保我从没忘记过作业。爸爸总是帮我解决难题，而且当我不高兴时，还给我讲些滑稽的笑话。那时我意识到，独自在家并不总是完美的。

当父母回家时，他们发现我会做饭和整理家务了，很高兴。我告诉了他们我独自在家的经历，然后我们都笑了。

Daming: Oh. Why not?

Guard: Because it’s closed.

Lingling: Yes, Daming. Read the sign!

Daming: Oh, right. That’s no good! Well, I’ll just take a photo…

Guard: Sorry. No photos. See?

Daming: There certainly are a lot of rules in this museum. No wonder the place is empty!

Betty: Daming! Don’t be rude.

Lingling: Oh, no!

Betty: What’s the matter, Lingling?

Lingling: My mobile phone! It’s missing! Oh, no! What am I going to do?

G uard: Don’t worry, Miss. Go downstairs to the lost and found office. They might have it.

Lingling: That phone is new! I have to find it, or Mum will punish me!

大明：是的，我们下楼！

Module5 Unit2 The Science Museum in London

By Tony Smith

Welcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different...It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you.

I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communications and the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you see inside your body. The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again.

On the fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor!

The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is my favourite museum in the whole world!

Unit 2 If you ever go to London , make sure you visit the Science Museum .

伦敦科学博物馆

欢迎来到伦敦最友好的博物馆。大多数博物馆都禁止喧哗、乱跑，而且禁止触摸任何东西。但是科学博物馆不一样。。。。。。这里是嘈杂的！人们谈论他们在这里能看到和能做的事情。博物馆内也有些噪声很大的机器。如果你想要得到关于科学的所有问题的答案，你来对地方了。

我喜欢参观三楼和四楼的展厅。你不仅可以了解数学、物理学和化学知识，而且还能了解通讯和环境知识。例如，你能弄清楚人们是如何从地下挖煤并用它来创造能量的。在一个展厅里他们甚至会解释X光是如何让你看到你身体内部的。

四楼的发射台是最受欢迎的展厅，它也是我的最爱，因为有许多物理实验可以做。例如，如果想把一个袋子装满沙子，你就得操控一种带轮子的运输车，并把车移动到正确的位置。你也能够弄清楚人们是如何到太空旅行并返回的。

在五楼和六楼，你可以了解过去的药物是什么样的。如果你把过去的药物也现在的药物作一下比较，下次你去看医生的时候会感觉非常幸运！

对各个年龄段的人来说科学博物馆是有趣的。在那里，你总能发现新的东西并玩得很快乐。博物馆免费进入，所以你可以在那里待几分钟或者一整天。它每天从上午十点到下午六点开放。所以如果你去伦敦的话，一定要参观科学博物馆。它是全世界我最喜欢的博物馆。

Module 6 Problems

Unit 1. If I start after dinner, I’ll finish it before I go to bed.

Dad: Tony, you're playing the guitar again. Have you done your homework'?

Tony: No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed. Anyway, you wanted me to learn an instrument.

Dad: I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home from school. If you start now, you'll finish it before dinner.

Tony: Yes, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do

volunteer work.

Dad: So you're not going to do your home work now?

Tony: No, it isn’t necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.

Dad: That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much.

Tony: Why not? I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there.

Dad: No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you

won't have time to study.

Tony: You mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the world? Dad: That's not the point. You should consider what the most important thing is. I

don't want you to fail your exams.

Tony: But.....

Dad: You can't do anything before you finish your homework. I'm sorry, but that's my last word.

Module 6 Problems

Unit 1 If I start after dinner, I’ll finis h it before I go to bed.

爸爸: 托尼，你又在弹吉它，你家庭作业完成了吗？

托尼: 没，还没有，但是今天作业不多。如果我晚饭后开始做，睡觉前肯定能做完。而且，你不是想让我学一门乐器吗？

爸爸: 我想让你养成一回家就做家庭作业的习惯。如果你现在开始做，晚饭前你就能做完了。

托尼: 是的，但是放学后我想休息一下。我还想去图书馆做点志愿者工作。

爸爸: 那么你现在不做作业了？

托尼: 不做，没有必要现在做。我迟点儿再做。

爸爸: 真遗憾！我真的认为你不应该如此频繁地去图书馆。

托尼: 为什么？我可以在图书馆干活儿，而且还能在那里看书。

爸爸: 托尼，这不行。如果你老是做这些与学习无关的事，你就没时间学习了。

托尼: 你的意思是不想让我去社区服务，不让我增加对世界的认知吗？

爸爸: 我不是这个意思。但你要权衡哪件事情最重要。我不想让你考试不及格。

托尼: 但是……

爸爸: 没完成家庭作业之前,你什么也不能干。我很抱歉,但这是我的最终决定。

Unit2短文1

Dear Diana,

Last week, my friend David come round with a new computer game and asked to play it on my dad’s computer. I was worried, because I should ask my dad before I use his computer. He uses it for his work, and I can only use it for my homework. The reason is that he thinks something will go wrong if I play games on it.

Well, while my dad was out, we decided to try out David’s game. We copi ed it to the computer, and after we finished playing, we took it off the computer. However, when I started the computer again to check if everything was OK, some of my dad’s documents were miss ing. Then, when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. He could no longer find the documents anywhere! They were of very important.

I did not tell him about the computer game because I did not want him to be angry with me. Now I feel terrible. I am not sure whether a computer repair shop can get the documents back. Should I tell him about the computer game? Should I pay to repair it?

Yours,

Steve

Unit2短文2

Dear Steve,

Oh, dear! You have made two mistakes. It is bad enough that you used your dad’s computer to play games when he told you not to. And it is even worse that you did not tell him about it. If you tell him the truth now, he will be angry with you, but at least you will show that you are honest.

You should apologise to your father. You should also pay the bill to repair the computer. If you offer to give up your pocket money, your father will realize that you are very sorry.

Remember, next time, play football with David and not computer games!

Best wishes,

Diana

Unit 2 If you tell him the truth now , you will show that you are honest .

致戴安娜

你有困难吗？那就给《新标准杂志》的戴安娜写信，寻求她的建议吧。

亲爱的戴安娜：

上周，我的朋友大卫带着一个新的电脑游戏到我家，请求在我爸爸的电脑上玩游戏。我很担心，因为在使用爸爸的电脑之前应该先问他一下。他用电脑工作，我只能用它来做作业。原因是：他认为如果我在电脑上玩游戏的话，电脑会出故障。

哦，当爸爸不在家时，我们决定试着玩一下大卫的游戏。我们把它复制到电脑上，我们玩完游戏后，把它从电脑上删除了。然而，当我重新打开电脑，检查是否一切可好时，爸爸的一些文件不见了。后来，昨天晚上，爸爸使用电脑时，他非常生气。他哪里都找不到那些文件了。它们是很重要的文件。我没告诉他关于电脑游戏的事，因为我不想让他生我的气。现在我感觉难受。我不确定电脑工程师是否能把文件找回来。我应该告诉他关于电脑游戏的事吗？我应该花钱修理电脑吗？你的朋友，史蒂夫

亲爱的史蒂夫：

噢，天哪！你犯了两个错误。太糟糕了，当你爸爸告诉你不要用他的电脑玩游戏时，你却用它玩了。更糟糕的是，你没告诉他关于那件事。如果你现在告诉他真相，他会生你的气，但至少能显示出你是诚实的。

你应该向你爸爸道歉，也要付修理电脑的费用。如果你主动放弃你的零花钱，你爸爸会意识到你的歉意。

记住下一次要和大卫踢足球，不要再玩电脑游戏！

最好的祝愿，

戴安娜

Mr Jackson: Hello,Betty. What’s up?

Betty: I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.

Mr Jackson: So, who are your great writers?

Betty: Well, maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.

Mr Jackson: really? I accept that they’re great because their works are still read by many people today. But

I think I’d describe Confucius more as a teacher and thinker than a writer. He was a very

wise man. What do you have to do for the discussion?

Betty: Well, each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion.

Mr Jackson: I see. We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas, and Shakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to us today. People have always read , and will always read great books. By the way,

what do you think of Mark Twain, the great American writer in the nineteenth century?

Betty: He was important, but I suppose he isn’t as well-known as Confucius or Shakespeare.

Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular, and one of his books is my favourite , The Adventures of

Tom Sawyer.

Betty: Great! Why don’t you join in the discussion and tell us about it?

Module 7 Great books

Unit 1 We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas.

杰克逊先生：你好，贝蒂。怎么了？

贝蒂：我想参加者一个网络小组，讨论一些伟大的作家写的名著。

杰克逊先生：那么，你认为伟大的作家都有谁啊？

贝蒂：嗯，可能有孔子和萨士比亚吧。

杰克逊先生：真的吗？我承认他们都很伟大，因为至今还有很多人在阅读他们的著作。但是我更愿意把孔子描述为一位教育家和思想家，而非作家。他是一位非常睿智的人。为了参与讨论，你们都得做些什么啊？

贝蒂：嗯，我们每人要读一本自己喜欢的书，并写一篇书评，以便参与讨论。

杰克逊先生：我明白了。现在，孔子的思想仍然在影响着我们，萨士比亚的戏剧对我们来说也仍然很有意义。人们一直以来并且将来仍然会阅读这些名著作。顺便问一下，你觉得19世纪美国伟大的作家马克.吐温怎么样啊?

贝蒂：他是一位重要的作家，但我觉得他不像孔子和萨士比亚那么有名。

杰克逊先生：对，但他的小说仍然很受欢迎。他的一本小说《汤姆.索耶历险记》是我非常喜欢的。贝蒂：太好了！那你为什么不加入讨论并向我们介绍一下它呢？

U2原文

A book review of the Adventures of Tom Sawyer

One of my favorite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain. The story is set in the town of St Petersburg Missouri, in the US, in the nineteenth century. It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.

Tom, the hero of the book, lives with his aunt Polly. He is a lively and clever boy. He does not like people telling him what to do, so he always get into trouble. He and his best friend, Huck Finn, run away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him. Later, Tom escaped from a cave with another friend, Becky. He also finds Injun Joe’s treasure box and takes it away.

My favorite part of the book is when Tom and Huck start their adventure on the island in the Mississippi River. At first, they are happy. But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead, they feel very sorry, so they come back home. They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbors coming to their funeral in the church. Then, Tom and Huck suddenly appear. Everyone is surprised to see them at first, but very pleased to find that they are alive.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It is more than an adventure story. Mark Twain wrote it in 1876. It describes people’s lives in the southern states of America at that time. It tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions. It is written in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and loved by people all over the world, and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.

Unit 2 It is still read and loved .

<<汤姆索耶历险记>>的书评

贝蒂金

我最喜欢的名著之一是马克吐温写的<<汤姆索耶历险记>> 。故事以19世纪美国密苏里州圣彼得堡镇为背景。它讲述了一个经历了许多冒险的男孩的一些令人激动的故事。

书的主人公汤姆和他的波莉阿姨一起生活。他是一个活泼聪明的男孩。他不喜欢人们告诉他做什么，所以他总是遇到麻烦。他和他最好的朋友哈克…芬恩逃到密西西比河中部的一个岛上。汤姆遇到更多的麻烦，因为一个名叫印第安人乔的坏人正在找他。后来，汤姆和另一位朋友贝基逃出山洞。他还找到了印第安人乔的宝盒并把它带走了。

书中我最喜欢的部分是汤姆和哈克在密西西比河岛上冒险的那部分。起初，他们很高兴。但是当他们听说大家都以为他们死了时，他们感到很难过，所以他们回家了。当他们看到他们的家人和邻居们来到教堂的葬礼上时，他们藏起来看了一会然后，汤姆和哈克突然出现。刚开始，大家看到他们都很惊讶，但是发现他们还活着(每个人都)很高兴。

<<汤姆索耶历险记>> 是一部名著。它不仅仅是一个冒险故事。马克…吐温是在1876年写的这个故事。它描写了那时美国南部各州人们的生活。它讲述了年轻人如何成长，人们如何彼此关爱以及坏人如何为他们的行为受到惩罚的故事。它是用日常英语写成的，对话听起来特别真实。如今，它仍被全世界的人阅读和喜爱，并且它被认为是最伟大的美国小说之一。

Module 8 Sports life

Unit 1 Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last year

Lingling: Hi Tony, you look tired.

Tony: Yes, I’m training for the big match next week.

Betty: Who are you playing against?

Tony: HAS.

Lingling: What does HAS stand for?

Tony: Haidian All Stars.

Betty: Oh, yes. It’ll be a difficult match. Didn’t they be at you last time?

Tony: Yes, they did. But…

Lingling: What was the score?

Betty: If my memory is correct, HAS 98 points to BIG 52.

Tony: But Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last time. That was a bad decision. We can’t play well without him.

Lingling: That’s no excuse!

Tony: But Daming is back now. There’s no difference between the two teams this season.

Betty: When is the match?

Tony: It’s next Saturday at noon, but if you want good seats, you should come by 11:30. Are you coming? Betty: I’m not sure. Do you think they’ll win, Lingling?

Lingling: No way! How many matches have you played against HAS this year?

Tony: Well, about three.

Betty: And how many have HAS won?

Tony: Er… most of them.

Betty: Wrong! All of them! Face the truth, Tony. You’ve got no chance!

Tony: I don’t agree. That’s not fair!

(Tony leaves angrily.)

Lingling: Remember to throw the ball, not knick it, Tony!

Betty: He’s so mad at us that he’ll try harder to win, just to show we’re wrong!

Lingling: Nice work, Betty! I do hope they win this time. We’ll be there to cheer for them.

玲玲: 你好, 托尼! 你看起来很累。

托尼: 对。我正在训练，为下周的那场重要比赛做准备。

贝蒂: 你们和哪个队比赛？

托尼: HAS 。

玲玲: HAS代表什么？

托尼: 海淀全明星队。

贝蒂: 噢，是的。这将是一场艰难的比赛。上次比赛中他们不是把你们打败了吗？

托尼: 是的，打败了。但是……

玲玲: 比分是多少？

贝蒂: 如果我没有记错的话，海淀全明星98分，北京国际巨人52分。

托尼: 但是大明上次没有被选上参加比赛。那真是个糟糕的决定。我们没有他打不好比赛。

玲玲: 那可不是借口！

托尼: 但是现在大明回来了。这个赛季两只球队没有多大差异。

贝蒂: 比赛什么时候进行？

托尼: 下周六中午。如果你们想有好座位的话，你们应该在11点半之前来。你们来吗？

贝蒂: 我不确定。你认为他们会赢吗，玲玲？

玲玲: 绝对不可能！今年你们和海淀全明星队打过多少场比赛？

托尼: 嗯，大概三场。

贝蒂: 那他们赢过几次呢？

托尼: 呃，几乎都是他们获胜。

贝蒂: 不对！所有的比赛他们都获胜了！面对事实吧，托尼！你们没有机会了！

托尼: 我不同意！这不公平！

（托尼生气地离开了。）

玲玲: 记住要传球，而不是踢球，托尼！

贝蒂: 他真的生我们的气了，所以会全力以赴去赢得这场比赛来证明我们错了。

玲玲: 干得好，贝蒂！我太希望他们这次能赢了。我们一定到场为他们加油。

Unit 2 He was invited to competitions around the world.

Liu Xiang---trained to win!

For Liu Xiang, life as a sports hero began in 2004. First, he was invited to competitions around the world. Then, he was chosen for the Chinese team at the Athens Olympic Games and won a gold medal.

Liu Xiang was not a successful sportsman at first. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July 1983, and started training when he was very young. In Grade 4, he went to the Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train for the high jump.

In 1998, Liu Xiang’s ability in hurdling was noticed by Sun Haiping, who later became his coach. In 2001, a special programme was set up to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu Xiang was among them. His races were recorded, and he was compared with the world’s best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change his training methods for Liu Xiang.

In May 2001, Liu Xiang won his first International 110m hurdles race in Japan. In 2004, he won the first Olympic gold medal for China in the 110m hurdles race, and at the same time broke the Olympic Games record. It was also the first time an Olympic gold medal for hurdling was hung round the neck of a sportsperson from an Asian country.

Liu Xiang trained very hard. In fact, he trained so hard that he hurt his foot. From 2008 on, he suffered a lot from his foot problem, but he did not give up. Though he missed some competitions, he still returned to first place in the world 110m hurdles race in 2012.

It is a pity that his foot problem stopped him from completing the 2012 London Olympic Games. But he is still a symbol of courage and success, and we continue to take great pride in him.

Unit 2 He was invited to competitions around the world.

刘翔--为赢而战

对刘翔来说，作为一位体育英雄的生活开始于2004年。首先，他被邀请参加世界各地的比赛，然后他被选人雅典奥运会归家队，并赢得一枚金牌。

一开始刘翔并不是一名成功的运动员。他于1983年7月13日出生于上海，当他很年轻的时候就开始训练，在4年级时，他去了上海普陀区的体校。期初，刘被鼓励训练调高。在1998年刘翔跨栏赛跑的能力被孙海平注意到了，孙海平后来成为他的教练。2001年创立了一个特殊的项目，用来帮助年轻运动员。刘翔就在他们之中。他的赛跑被记录，并且他被和世界上最好的体育明星作比较。孙海平用这些信息改变对刘翔的训练方法。

在2001年5月，刘翔在对日本赢得了他收个国际110米跨栏比赛。在2004年，他为中国赢得了第一

枚110米跨栏比赛的奥运会金牌，并且同时打破了奥运会记录。这也是跨栏比赛的奥运金牌第一次被挂在了来自亚洲国家的运动员的脖子上。

刘翔训练非常刻苦。事实上，他训练如此刻苦，以至于伤了他的脚。从2008年开始，他饱受脚伤的折磨，但是他没有放弃。尽管他错过了一些比赛，但是在2012年他仍然重返世界110米跨栏比赛第一名的位置。

遗憾的是，他的脚伤阻止了他完成2012年伦敦奥运会。但是他仍然是勇气和成功的象征，并且我们继续以他为骄傲。

Tony: Dad, can I borrow your camera?

Dad: Why?

Tony: I’d like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week, which can be seen on the Internet by other classes even people living in other countries.

Dad: Sounds great! Today, We can send and received photos and mails on the Internet, and it’s really fast. Tony: Yes, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives.

Dad: In the past, we mainly got information (inform) from paper books. Today, with the invention of the comput er and electronic technology, it’s easy to get information on the Internet. It is more powerful than books.

Tony: Anyway, about the camera……?

Dad: Oh, yes. Here it is. But the memory card may be full.

Tony: OK. That can be fixed. I have an empty memory card.

托尼：爸爸, 我可以借一下你的照相机吗？

爸爸：做什么用呢？

托尼：我想在下周学校组织参观博物馆时拍些照片。这些照片将发布在学校的网站上。其他班的同学、甚至生活在国外的人们，都有可以看到这些照片。

爸爸：听起来很好啊！我上学的时候，我们要等上好几周才能收到国外笔友的来信。但是现在可以在网上收发照片和信件，而且速度非常快。

托尼：是的，互联网和电脑已经改变了我们的生活。我们在课堂上甚至都可以使用电子书。我在想，未来是否电脑会比书籍使用得更多？

爸爸：有可能。过去，我们主要从纸质书中获取信息。有些书甚至有几千页厚。现在，伴随着电脑和电子科技的发明，我们从网络上获取信息变得非常容易。互联网比图书要强大得多。

托尼：但是，关于照相机……?

爸爸：哦，可以。给你。自从你妈妈的生日之后，我就没用过，存储卡有可能都满了。

托尼：好的。这可以解决。我有一个空的存储卡。说明书在哪里？

爸爸：在相机包里。因为它是你妈妈送给我的生日礼物，所以你必须保证要保管好它。如果一定要借给其他人的话，你要告诉他们如何正确使用它。

托尼：我保证。

U2原文

Every morning, my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day, I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on

my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?

Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make books. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result, there were

not many books, and they were expensive. So, few people had the chance to learn to read.

Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties . Later, developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply. A trade in books resulted, and more people learn to read. Knowledge and ideas spread faster than ever before. In a way, we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.

Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast, and may become more powerful than printing. A much large amount of information can be stored in more varied forms on the Internet than in books. Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find it in printed forms. And the machines we use to read it are now small and light, often smaller and lighter than a single book.

Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future? Will books be replaced by the Internet? Let’s wait and see.

Unit 2 Will books be replaced by the Internet ?

书籍将被因特网取代吗？

每天早上，我爸爸在去上班的路上买份报纸。每天，我在课堂上打开书开始上课。每天晚上，我妈妈都在家浏览报纸。而且每天夜晚之前，都看着卧室墙上大卫.贝克汉姆和姚明的照片。我们能想象没有报纸和印刷术的生活吗？

纸是大约2000年前在中国被首次创造出来的。在它的发明之后，人们开始在纸上写字来制书。在那个年代，书是靠手工制作的，一次只能制作一本。因此，书籍又少，价格又贵。所以，很少有人有机会学者读书。

印刷术是在中国隋唐时期发明的。后来，印刷术的发展使更快更便宜地制造书籍成为可能。书的交易形成了，更多的人学者读书，知识和思想比以前传播得更快了。在某种程度上，我们把纸和印刷术的发明与20世纪因特网的引入相媲美。

尽管因特网还在初期，但它发展很快，而且可能比印刷术变得更强大。在因特网上比在书籍中更大的信息量会以更多样化的形式被存储。使用网络连接的人比在印刷品中寻找信息的人能更容易地找到信息。我们用来阅读信息的机器现在又小又轻，经常比一本单独的书更小更轻。

现在电脑和因特网在教室中被使用。报纸和杂志已经能够在线阅读。那么传统的印刷术未来的方向是什么？书籍将被因特网取代吗？让我们拭目以待。

Tony: Dad. I need your help. My teacher asked us to choose a country we want to visit, imagine we were there, and write a letter to our parents back home. I’ve chosen Australia. How can I do it?

Dad: Don’t worry. I have some photos that I took in Australia last year. They may help you. Here we go. This is a rock called Ayers Rock, in central Australia. According to the local people. What’s its height? Tony: Oh, it looks huge. What’s its height?

Dad: 348 metres. And this is the Sydney Opera House. It’s like a huge sailing boat with water on three sides. And this one is the Great Barrier Reef.

Tony: Does it lie off the northeast coast of Australia?

Dad: Yes, it’s over 2,600 kilometres ong. It’s a great natural wonder. And here are some photos of my Australian friends. They’re sheep farmers. They wear special hats that keep the flies away. The scissors that they’re holding are used to cut the wool off the sheep. Do you know that many Australians came from Britian?

Tony: Yes, of course! That’s why they speak English. Did you keep a diary while you were there?

Dad: Yes, and you can read it.

Tony: That’s great!And what didn’t you like about Australia?

Dad: I hated the ants that were all over the place. I had to brush them off my clothes, especially my trousers!

托尼：爸爸，我需要你的帮助。老师让我们选择一个我们想去的国家，想像我们就在那里，然后给家里的父母写一封信。我选择了澳大利亚，我该如何写呢？

爸爸：别担心！我有一些去年在澳大利亚拍的照片，也许可以帮到你。我们来看一看吧。这块岩石叫做艾尔斯岩，位于澳大利亚中部。据当地人说，这是一个奇特而具有魔力的地方。

托尼：哦，看起来很大啊！它有多高？

爸爸：348米。这是悉尼歌剧院。它就像一艘巨大的帆船，三面环水。这一张是大堡礁。

托尼：它是位于澳大利亚东北海岸吗？

爸爸：是的，它有2600多公里长。它是一个伟大的自然奇观。这里还有一些我的澳大利亚朋友的照片。他们是牧羊的农民。他们戴着能赶走苍蝇的特制的帽子。他们拿着的剪刀是用来剪羊毛的。你知道许多澳大利亚人来自英国吗？

托尼：是的，当然了。那就是他们为什么说英语的原因。您在那儿的时候记日记了吗？

爸爸：记了，你可以读读。

托尼：太棒了！你不喜欢澳大利亚的哪些方面呢？

Dear Mum and Dad,

I am writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment, we are staying near Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a plane tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was; 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high! During different periods of the day, the colours of the rock turn dark blue, purple, yellow and red. Ayers Rock is a centre of local Aboriginal culture. The Aborigines are the people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times, and their ancient stories describe the spirits that created the world. The Australians have a close relationship with the British. Many have British relatives, and they are like us in many ways. The foods that Australians like most are ham and beef with lots of salad. They also grow grapes and other fruits. They love all sports, but the game that they like most is Australian football. Because most Australians live near the coast, they also love going to the beach for swimming and surfing or just lying in the sun.

Although it is December, it is summer over here. The sun is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the middle of the country has no trees or grass, just rocks and sand--- And kangaroos!

Australians speak English, but in their own way. For example, when they say“G’day” and “No worries”, they mean “Hello”and “Don’t worry about it. It’s not a problem!”

On the second day, we went horse riding. The horse that I rode was lazy, so I was left far behind the others. But I enjoyed the slow and relaxing ride.

Later this evening, we are taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It has been a wonderful trip. Love,

Tony

Unit 2 The game that they like most is Australian football.

亲爱的妈妈、爸爸：

我现在是在澳大利亚的中部给你们写这封信。现在，我们在艾尔斯岩附近。在第一天，我们乘飞机参观了艾尔斯岩，我对它如此之大感到惊奇:3.6千米长，348米高。在一条里的不同时期，这块岩石的颜色变成深蓝色、紫色、黄色和红色。艾尔斯岩是当地澳大利亚土著文化的一个中心。澳大利亚土著居民是最早生活在澳大利亚的人，他们的古老故事讲述了创造世界的精灵。

澳大利亚人与英国人有紧密的关系。许多人有英国亲戚，他们在很多方面与我们相似。澳大利亚人最喜欢的食物是火腿和牛肉加许多沙拉。他们也种植葡萄和其他的水果。他们喜欢所有的运动，但是他们最喜欢的运动时澳式足球。因为大多数澳大利亚人住在海岸边，所以他们也喜欢去海滩游泳、冲浪，或者只是躺在阳光下。

尽管现在是12月，但这是是夏季。阳光十分灿烂，海边的乡村碧绿。田野里和小山上有许多羊，但是乡村中部没有树和草，只有岩石和沙子……还有袋鼠！

澳大利亚人讲英语，但是用他们自己的方式。例如，当他们说“G\\\\'day!”和“No worries.”时，他们的意思是“你好！”和“不要担心。没问题！”

在第二天，我们去骑马了。我骑的马很懒，因此我远远落后于别人，但是我喜欢慢的、轻松的骑马。今晚晚些时候，我们会乘飞机回到悉尼，然后回家。这真是一次令人愉快的旅行。

爱你们的

托尼

Tony: But Beijing isn’t my home town. It’s Cambridge.

Daming: It doesn’t matter. Take some photos of Beijing and add some photos of Cambridge that you took recently.

托尼：“自然”、“故乡与他乡”、“城市与人”，还有“音乐”。

大明：我觉得何忠会选择“音乐”这个主题。你为什么不选择“故乡与他乡”这个主题，拍一些北京的照片？

托尼：但是北京不是我的故乡。我的故乡是剑桥。

大明：没关系。你可以拍一些北京的照片，再加上一些最近拍的剑桥的照片。

托尼：好主意。我堂弟在颐和园和中国小孩放风筝的那张照片怎么样？还有他第一次在剑桥读中文菜单时照的那张？

大明：好照片，我觉得你很可能赢。

Lingling: After our lesson on the environment, I’m worried about the future. Pollution is our great enemy, and we have to fight it. If the rivers are polluted, famers can’t use the water for their crops. Tony: And in some places, pollution from factories spreads over cities and villages. It makes people ill, and may even kill them. Pollution is a danger to our health.

Betty: And there are so many cars on the roads. They use so much oil and cause pollution as well. Daming: But we’re only students. We can’t do anything about factories and cars.

Betty: It’s no use talking about things we can’t do. We’ve got to think of things we can do!

Daming: Such as…?

Lingling: Do you think we can make our school a green school?

Daming: What’s a green school?

Lingling: At a green school, every class collects waste which can be recycled or used again. Then the school sells the waste and uses the money to help students in poor areas.

Daming: Nice idea!

Betty: Students at a green school also learn ways to save energy and recycle at home. That means less waste.

Tony: That’s a good idea. Though pollution is heavy now, I don’t think it’s hopeless. If everyone starts to do something, the world will be saved.

Module 12 Save our world

Unit 1 If everyone starts to do something, the world will be saved.

玲玲：上完有关环境的课后，我对未来非常担心。污染是我们的大敌，我们必须和它作斗争。如果河流受到污染，农民就不能用河水去浇灌庄稼。

托尼：在有些地方，来自工厂的污染遍布城市和村庄。污染使人生病，甚至可以让人丧命。污染危及我们的健康。

贝蒂：路上的车非常多，这些车过多地耗油，也造成了污染。

大明：但是我们仅仅是学生，对这些工厂和汽车无能为力。

贝蒂：谈论我们不能做的事是没有意义的。我们应该想一些我们能做的事。

大明：比如说……?

玲玲：你认为我们可以使我们的学校变成绿色学校吗？

大明：什么是绿色学校？

玲玲：在绿色学校里，每个班都收集可循环再生或再利用的废物。然后学校卖掉它们，筹集到的资金可以用来帮助贫困地区的学生。

大明：好主意！

贝蒂：绿色学校的学生也学到了在家中节约能源和回收再利用的方法，这意味着减少浪费。

托尼：这是个好主意。尽管现在污染很严重，我认为还是有希望的。如果大家都开始采取一些措施，世界将会得到拯救。

How to be green

How green are you? Answer these questions and find out.

●Do you walk or ride a bike to school?

●Do you buy new clothes just because they are modern?

●Do you turn off the lights when you leave the room?

●Do you take your own bag when shopping and not ask for a plastic bag?

●Do you buy drinks in bottles? And what do you do with the bottles when they are empty?

●Do you divide the waste into things to recycle and things to throw away?

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day, and it is harmful to our environment. Repeat these three words daily: reduce, reuse and recycle.

Reduce

Reduce means “use less”. Do not waste things. It saves money and causes less pollution. Do not order more food than you can finish. Turn off the lights when you do not need them. Before you buy something new, think whether it is really necessary because maybe the old one is just as good!

Reuse

Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. Look after them so that they will last. Repair them if possible. Do not throw them away and buy new ones. Do not use paper cups or paper bags. It is better to use china cups and cloth bags because they can be used many times.

Recycle

Recycle means “change things into something else, it is better than throwing things away or burning them. We throw tons of rubbish away each year, and we have to make a change. Divide your rubbish into plastic, glass, paper and rubber. Develop a recycling policy for the whole community. Buy products such as recycled paper to help save trees.

We cannot hope for rapid change, but let’s take these simple steps today so that we will save the world for our grandsons and granddaughters tomorrow.

Unit 2 Repeat these three words daily: reduce, reuse and recycle.

怎样才能变成“绿色”？

你有多“绿色”？回答下列问题，找出答案。

你步行或骑自行车去上学吗？

你仅仅因为时髦而买新衣服吗？

离开房间时你关灯吗？

购物时你自己带包而不是要塑料袋吗？

你买塑料饮料吗？瓶子空了时你怎样处理它们？

你将废品分成可回收利用的和丢弃的吗？

我们都需要一个健康的环境，但我们每天制造废物，这对我们的环境是有害的。每天重复这三个单词:减少、重复利用和回收利用。

减少

减少意思是“少用”。不要浪费东西。这节约钱并造成更少的污染。不要点多余你能吃完的食物。你不需要灯时关掉它们。买新东西前，想想是否真有必要，因为也许旧的恰恰一样好！

重复利用

重复利用的意思是“再使用”。尽可能长时间地使用东西。照料它们以便他们会持续使用。如果可能，修理它们。不要扔掉它们而买新的。不要用纸杯或纸袋。用陶瓷杯子和布包更好，因为它们可以用许多次。

回收利用一起是“将某件东西变成别的东西再利用”。虽然将一些东西变成别的东西需要能量，但是那比扔掉或者烧掉它们好。我们每年扔掉许多垃圾，我们必须改变。将你的垃圾分成塑料、玻璃、纸和橡胶。为整个社区制定一项回收利用政策。购买像再生纸之类的产品来帮助节约树木。

我们不能期待立竿见影的变化，但是让我们从今天就开始采取这些简单的措施吧，以便我们将来为我们的子孙拯救世界。
