Frederick William Ⅰ，the King of Prussia , could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make . In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors . Later,Catherine Ⅱhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing . In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery . Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city . A FACT OR AN OPINION? What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact. Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewit nesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence. Unit 2 AN INTERVIEW Pausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the present-day Olympic Games. He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games.

高一英语必修二课文翻译 Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician? Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan? To be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to becoming rich and famous. But just how do people form a band? Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practising their music in someones house is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may ptey to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra money for themselves or to pay for their instruments. Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash. Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires! However, there was one band that started in a different way. It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show. The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the Beatles. The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band. As some of these actors could not sing well enough，they had to rely on other musicians to help them. So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing. Anyhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied by other groups. They were so popular that their fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar with them. Each week on TV，the Monkees would play and sing songs written by other musicians. However。 after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work，the Monkees started to play and sing their own songs like a real band. Then they produced their own records and started touring and playing their own music. In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records. The band broke up about 1970，but happily they reunited in the mid-1980s. They produced a new record in 1996。 并非乐队的乐队

高中英语校本课程探索 ──英语学习策略培训 摘要：1９99国务院颁布了《中共中央国务院关于深化教育改革全面推进素质教育的决定》,第一次明确指出：试行国家课程、地方课程与学校课程（校本课程）的三级课程体系。实行“三级”课程管理政策以来，“校本”已实实在在向我们走近。那么如何进行校本课程的开发呢?本文从校本课程开发遵循的原则说起，把英语学习策略培训作为校本课程，阐述了英语学习策略培训的意义、实施培训的方式、培训的步骤和内容，通过英语学习策略的培训得出启示和建议。 关键词：校本课程学习策略培训开发与实施 我们今天的教育是为学生的继续学习和终身发展奠定坚实的基础。高中英语新课程的总目标也要求学生在教育阶段的英语学习基础上，进一步明确学习的目的，发展自主学习和合作学习的能力;形成有效的学习策略。课程标准也明确指出,要建立规范的英语教材体系以及丰富的课程资源体系,以保障英语课程的顺利实施。高中英语校本课程就是这个体系的一个重要的组成部分，它的开发和发展对于中学英语教学将产生积极而深远的影响。校本课程开发(Schoｏl-baｓeｄ Curricuｌｕm Development，简称SBCD)的思想源于20世纪６0—70年代的西方发达国家，主张学校的教师、学生、学生家长、社区代表等参与课程的决策,以学校为基地进行课程开发,实现课程决定的民主化。它对于学校办出特色，向学生提供最迫切的教育有着重要的价值。 一、英语校本课程开发中所遵循的几条原则 1．有效性和重要性的原则 在科学技术迅速发展的信息时代，面临着不断更新的知识体系,我们在开发校本课程时，在选择课程内容的过程中，应该删除陈旧或过时的知识,选择学生“就近发展区”的内容扩充具有现实意义的内容，把握好重要的内容。 ２.特殊性与差异性 校本课程开发基于每一所学校,要强调本校的特殊性与外校的差异性。要结合本校的师资、学生水平、教学设施等情况全盘考虑,但这一“个性”也要植根于整体的教育目标这一“共性”之中,不能脱离高中各阶段的总体目标。“个性化”的教育理念是校本课程开发的核心思想与灵魂。 ３．趣味性和可学性的原则

Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing. In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg. This was a time when the two countries were at war. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea. After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery. Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace. By studying old photos of the former Amber Room, they have made the new one look like the old one. In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city.
