At the moment, Mike and Clare are in Cairo in Egypt, one of the biggest and busiest cites in Africa.They moved here with their parents two years ago. Their father, Peter, works for a very big company. The company has offices in many countries, and it has sent Peter to work in Germany, France and China before. Peter usually stays in a country for about two years. Then the company moves him again. His family always goes with him.The Robinsons love seeing the world. They have been to many interesting places. For example,in Egypt, they have seen the Pyramids, travelled on a boat on the Nile River, and visited the palaces and towers of ancient kings and queens.Mike and Clare have also begun to learn the language of the country, Arabic. This language is different from English in many ways, and they find it hard to spell and pronounce the words. However, they still enjoy learning it. So far they have learnt to speak German, French, Chineseand Arabic. Sometimes they mix the languages. “It’s really fun,” said Clare.The Robinsons are moving again. The company has asked Peter to work back in the US. Mikeand Clare are happy about this. They have friends all over the world, but they also miss their friends in the US. They are counting down the days.M3 Unit 1 Has it arrived yet ?Daming: Hi, Tony. What are you up to?ship for our school project.Tony: Hi, Daming. I’ve just made a model spaceDaming: I haven’t started yet, because I’m not sure how to make it. Can you help me? Tony: Sure, no problem. Have you heard the lasted news? Scientists have sent a spaceship to Mars.The journey has taken several months.Daming: Has it arrived yet?Tony: Yes, it has arrived already. That’s why it’s on the news.Daming: So have they discovered life on Mars?Tony: No, they haven’t yet.Daming: Are there any astronauts in the spaceship?Tony: No, there aren’t.Daming: Why? Astronauts have already been to the moon.Tony: Yes, but no one has been to Mars yet, because Mars is very far away, much farther than the moon. Lots of scientists are working hard in order to send astronauts to Mars one day.Daming: That’s interesting! How can Iget information on space travel?Tony: You can go online to search for the information.Daming: I will. Thank you, Tony!Unit 2 We have not found life on any other planets yet.Scientists think that there has been life on earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, wehave not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the plant of Mars to take photos. They even have sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach near other stars in our Galaxy.Scientists have always asked the question: With so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or isthere life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? Why has noone communicated with us? We do not know the answers…yet.M4 Unit 1 I haven’t done much exercise since I got my computer.Doctor: How can I help you?Daming: I feel ill.

It’s so quiet that I can even hear the birds singing! I can hardly believe we're in the city centre.Lingling: This park is famous for its lake, the bridge and the ancient buildings on the hill. The lake takes up over half of the park area. Let's walk along the lake,cross the bridge and climb up the hill. Then I can point out the sights of Beijing for you.Tony: Yes, good idea. I'm sure it'll be fantastic to see the city from the top.Daming: But I'm so tired, and it's so hot here. I don't want to climb. The lake looks nice and cool. Why don't we go for a swim?Lingling: I don't think they allow people to swim in the lake. It's dangerous.Daming: That's too bad. Then why don't we have our picnic here? I'm so hungry and thirsty. Lingling: I think it's better to have our picnic at the top of the hill.Tony: Come on! Let's not waste any more time.Daming: All right. I hope it will be cooler up there.U2From:BettyTo: Mum and dadSUBJECT: Wonderful time in ZhangjiajieDear Mum and Dad,I promised to write, so...We’re staying with Lingling’s uncle in Hunan Province, and I’m having a wonderful time here in magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It's very large, about 480 squareZhangjiajie. It’s akilometres. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans, andothers look like wild animals.Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard some noise! It woke everyoneup. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling's uncle said it was an animal. We came outwithout making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. Butit was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then wewalked down the path, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp. I pulled aleaf off a plant, but Lingling’s uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that weshould protect everything here. I was very sorry.Tomorrow we’re going to Dongting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in China.We’ll toback home next week! Wish you were here!Love,BettyM9 U1Helpline: Hello, friendship helpline. Who's calling, please?Lingling: Hello. This is Lingling speaking.Helpline: Hi, Lingling!

It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I could not talkto anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to worry about me.One day, my classmates are talking with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively andwarm. It was like a hidden treasure.That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students. Day by Day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has becomemy best friend now, and we stick together like glue.One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember!Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might alwaysbe alone. My suggestion is: Smile at the world and it will smile back.M10 Chen Huan: Hi, everybody. I'm the news director at Radio Beijing.Lingling: Thank you for showing us around.Chen Huan: No problem!

Shouldn’t you be at school?” he asked.How could I explain? I’ve always loved the radio. I still remember, When I was about four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes, and to thevoices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but tome in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part–time jobs in small radio stations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, Icomputer, talked about life at school, and hoped played my favourite music from my father’ssomeone might be listening.Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared a programmes once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).“OK, come with me,” the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room, behin da glass wall.“OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.”All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. The purpose is tocheck the sound level.“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”“OK, that’s great!” The man behind the glass said.And this was how my first real job in radio began.。
