九年级英语书课文sad but beautiful原文九年级英语书课文sad but beautiful原文如下：Sad but BeautifulLast night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music.The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was trangely beautiful,but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain.The piece had a simple name,Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring), but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I've ever heard.The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it as I ter I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue, and I began to understand the sadness in the music.The music was written by Abing,a folk musician who was bornin the city of Wuxiin 1893.His mother died when he was very young. Abing's father taught him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums,dizi and erhu,and by age 17.Abing was known for his musical ability,However,after his father died, Abing's life grew worse.He was very poor.Not only that,he developed a serious illness and became blind.For several years,he had no home.He lived on the streets and played music to make money.Even after Abing got married and had a home again,he continued tosing and play on the streets.He performed in this way for many years.Abing's amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime.By the end of his life,he could play over 600 pieces of music.Many of these were written by Abing himself. It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear,but his popularity continues to this day,Today,Abing's Erqua!Yingyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise.It has become on of China's national treasures. Its sad beauty not only paints a picture of Abing's own life but also makes people recall their deepest wounds from their own sad or painful experiences.。

九年级上册英语课文原文Every one of us needs friends. A friend is someone who understands you, who stands by your side, and who is therefor you when you need them. Friends surround us in our daily lives. They could be our classmates, neighbors, or even people we meet online.A true friend is someone who accepts you for who you are, flaws and all. They do not judge you based on your appearance or background. Instead, they appreciate your unique qualities and support you in your endeavors. True friends are loyal, trustworthy, and will always be ready to lend a helping hand.Having friends is important for several reasons. Firstly, friends provide emotional support. When you are feeling down or facing challenges, friends are there to comfort and encourage you. They offer a shoulder to lean on and help you find solutions to problems.Secondly, friends help us develop important social skills. By interacting with others, we learn how to communicate effectively and build strong relationships. Friends teach us how to be empathetic, considerate, and respectful towards others.Furthermore, friends bring joy and laughter into ourlives. They share our successes and celebrate our achievements.

北师大版九年级全一册Unit 1 Language课文原文及翻译北师大版英语九年级全一册课文原文及翻译UNIT 1Unit1 Language-Reading(1)Body language is an important form of communication that is used verywhere, although we don't often think about it. Some messages are understood by people around the world simply because they are not communicated by words. For example, in many countries, people nod their heads to show agreement and they put their fingers up to their mouths to ask for silence.尽管我们不经常研究肢体语言，但它已成为一种重要的交流形式，无处不在。

世界各地的人们正是通过这些非语言交流形式来获得某些信息。

举例来说，许多国家人们点头表示赞许，手指立着放嘴巴上表示安静。

However, body language is used differently in different cultures. For example, in some western cultures, people shrug their shoulders to show they don't understand or they don't care about something. This isn't common in other places. In Asian countries, such as Japan, people bow to show respect when they greet each other or say goodbye. This isn't done in the West.然而，肢体语言在不同文化中使用不同。

Unit1 How can we become good learners?How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary.Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.P6 2bHow Can You Become a Successful Learner?Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners havesome good habits in common.Creating an interest in what they learnStudies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something they are interested in. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.Practicing and learning from mistakesGood learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “use it or lose it”! Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Practice makes perfect. Good learners are also not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.Developing their study skillsIt is not enough to just study hard. You have to know how to study. Good learners find out the best ways to learn well. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. Good learners also look for ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.Asking questionsGood learners oft en ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a life-long journey because every day brings something new. Everything that youlearn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.P8 self check 1ifyou_______smart study skills. Remember to________ notesin class and review them on your own or with friends after class. Then what you learned by doing_____. Try to study and________information bit by bit instead of waiting__________ the last minute tostudy_________ at once. If you________ well for a test,then there’s nothing to_________ about!Unit 2 I think that mooncakes are delicious!P13 3aFull Moon, Full FeelingsChinese people have been celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. Mooncakes have the shape of a full moon on mid-autumn night. They carry people’s wishes to the families they love and miss.There are many traditional folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story of Chang’e is the most touching. Chang’e was Hou Yi’s beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him a magic medicine to thank him. Whoever drank this could live forever, and Hou Yi planned to drink it with Chang’e. However, a bad man, Feng Meng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi was not home. Chang’e refused to give it to him and drank it all. She becamevery light and flew up to the moon. Hou Yi was so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. One night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could see his wife there. He quickly laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Chang’e could come back!After this, people started the tradition of admiring the moon and sharing mooncakes with their families.P12 4bDear Xia Yu,Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May and the other is Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children oft en give gifts to their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner. Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers. I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gift s to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to show our love. Actually, we don’t have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.JuneP14 2bThe Spirit of ChristmasMany would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gift s, Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and is perhaps the best example of this.A Christmas Carol is a famous novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself, and doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money. And he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. He sees that he is dead but nobody cares. Scrooge is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is already the next morning on Christmas Day!He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gift s to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!P16 self check 1Many Western countries celebrate Easter. This holiday is always on aSunday__________March 22nd and April 25th. It celebrates thebirth of new life. Hens________eggs, giving birth to life. So an egg is a symbolof new life. A popular activity during Easter is to hide eggsaround your home or_________for friends or________ to find. These can be real eggs, but they are more often chocolate eggs. Not only do people ________them around in different hiding places for an egg hunt, but they also give out these_________as gifts. So just like Christmas, Easter createsgood________for supermarkets and chocolate stores.Unit3Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?UNIT 3P19 3aFun Times Park — Always a Fun Time![Alice and He Wei are in Space World]Alice: I wonder where we should go next.He Wei: How about that new ride over there?Alice: Oh ... it looks pretty scary.He Wei: Come on! I promise it’ll be fun! If you’re afraid, just shout or hold my hand.[After the ride]Alice: You were right, that was fun! I was scared at first, but shouting really did help.He Wei: See, that wasn’t so bad, right? You never know until you try something.Alice: Yes, I’m so glad I tried it. Now I know I can do it and it’s actually fun!He Wei: Do you want to go to Water World now?Alice: Sure, but I’m really hungry. Do you know where we can get some goodfood quickly?He Wei: Of course! I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World. It’s a fast food place. It serves delicious hamburgers and hot dogs.Alice: That sounds perfect![On their way to Water City Restaurant, Alice and He Wei pass by Uncle Bob’s.]Alice: Oh, look! This restaurant looks interesting. It seems a rock band plays there every evening.He Wei: Maybe we can come here for dinner later. Let’s ask what time the band starts.[Alice and He Wei walk up to a staff person at the door.]He Wei: Excuse me, could you tell us when the band starts playing this evening?Staff: Eight o’clock. It’s always busy, so come a little earlier to get a table.He Wei: OK, thanks!P22 2bCould You Please ...?When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests for directions to a place. Both ar e correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct — or more indirect — when we ask for help.In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk withdifferent people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates.Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please ...?” or “Can I ask ...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ...” before asking for help.It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark.P27 3aFrom Shy Girl to Pop Star1 For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymo re and loves singing in front of crowds.2 I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explainedthat there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.”3 What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly,“you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.”P30 2bHe Used to Cause a Lot of TroubleLi Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy who works hard in school and gets good grades. It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child” until a conversation with his parents influenced his way of thinking. Li Wen lives in the Sichuan countryside. As a small child, he seldom gave his parents any problems, and they were proud of him. However, _________, the boy’s life became more difficult. He had to move in with his grandmother.Li Wen began to cause problems for himself and his family. He was no longer interested in studying. He was oft en absent from classes, and he failed his examinations. Finally, his parents made a decision to send him to a boarding school. Li Wen no longer lived with his grandmother. He studied, ate and slept at the school,and he hated it. There were so many rules, and he used to keep breaking them. One day, he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. __________The head teacher advised his parents to talk with their son in person. His parents took a 40-hour train ride and a five-hour bus ride to go back to their hometown. To Li Wen’s surprise, their conversation changed his life. “It was exactly what I needed,” he said. “My parents helped me to understand how much they had given me. They also told me that even though they couldn’t be there to take care of me, they were always thinking of me and would take pride in everything good that Idid.___________. I realized that since my parents moved away, I’ve been afraid of being alone, and have tried to make my parents pay more attention to me.”____________. He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class. His parents’ love has made him feel good about himself. “It’s very important for parents to be there for their children,” Li Wen says.P31 2etrouble for his parents. When his parents moved to work in anothercity, they could not be at home to____________ him. So he was___________ interested in studying and missed classes. Then his parents________to send him to a boarding school and he________it. In the end, his teacher advised his parents to talk with their son and this conversation____________ his life. He realized that his parents would__________everything good that he did. Now he is one of the best students in his class.Unit5 What are the shirts made of?P35 3aThe Difficult Search for American Goods in the USIf you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.”Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball s hoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China —footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.P38 2bBeauty in Common ThingsEach different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life such as love, beauty andfamily. The most common things, from paper to clay to bamboo, are turned into objects of beauty.According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, fish, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters froma Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished and painted. Finally, materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.P39 2d1. People used to sky lanterns when they were in trouble. But today, people lightthe lanterns and watch them_______the sky with their wishes.2. The art of paper cutting_______ a simple thing like a piece of paper________a beautiful piece of art. People often_________these art pieces_____ the doors, windows and walls of their homes to celebrate the Spring Festival.3. To make Chinese clay art, the clay is shaped by hand intothings__________cute children or characters from Chinese fairy tales and stories. They are then______ paint.Unit 6 When was it invented?P43 3aAn Accidental InventionDid you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water anyway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In Engl and, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 yearslater, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.P44 4cThe telephone (invent) by Alexander Graham Bell. He_______(born) in 1847. Alexander_____ (work) on the invention of the telephone with Thomas Watson. In 1875, Alexander______ (learn) to send musical notes through an instrument similar to a telephone. Finally, the telephone________(invent) in 1876. The first sentence that_______ (say) on the telepho ne by Alexander was “Mr. Watson, come here; I want to see you.” Today the telephone____________ (use) around the world.P45 1dThe History of Potato ChipsDid you know that potato chips were invented by mistake? Potatochips____________by a cook called George Crum. They were invented in________. George Crum cut the potatoes really, really__________and then cooked them for a long time until they were__________ . Andhe put lots of salt on them so they were____________ .p46 2bDo You Know When BasketballWas Invented?Basketball is a much-loved and active sport more than 100 million people inover 200 countries. In China, you can sometimes see people playing basketball in parks, schools and even in factories.Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was at college, his teacher asked the class to think of a game that can be played in the winter. Dr. Naismith created a game to be played inside on a hard floor. Dr. Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them to play his new game. The purpose of the game is for players to get a ball into the “basket”. Players on the same team must work together to help each other get the ball in the other team’s basket. At the same time, they need to stop the competing team from getting the ball into their own basket.It is believed that on December 21, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an event at the Olympics. Today, the popularity of basketball has risen around the world, with many young people dreaming of becoming famous players. Basketball has not only become a popular sport to play, it has also become a more popular sport to watch.Although America’s NBA games are the most famous, the CBA games are becoming popular in China. The number of foreign players, including Chinese players, in the NBA has increased. And there are also more and more foreign players in the CBA. Many young people look up to these basketball heroes and want to become like them. These stars encourage young people to work hard to achieve their dreams.P48 Self Check 1It is often difficult to decide on the inventor of certain inventions. This is because sometimes a few people may_______things which are_______the same. Opinions are then_______ about who came up with the idea first. Some inventions can also all of a_______lead to other inventions. So some people_______whether the inventor came up with the idea himself or herself. They think that the inventor used someone else’s idea to create his or her invention. That is why books or websites usually ________more than one inventor when giving information about inventions.Unit7 Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes.P51 3aMom Knows BestWhen I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my sideWhen I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep inWhen I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from dangerWhen I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me upWhen I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for meBut I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”When I was nine watch ing scary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreamsBut I shouted back angrily, “I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”But I talked back again —“I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeennow!”Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those timesI coughed for days after eating that ice-creamAnd had scary dreams after watching that filmI was late for school from staying out past tenI regret talking back, not listening to MomMom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!P52 4bShould teenagers _________(ask) to move out when they start working? In many Western countries, teenagers_______ (allow) to move out at sixteen or seventeen. Their parents believe that they should__________ (educate) to take care of themselves from a young age. This way, when they_______ (start) working they can manage their own lives. However, in most Asian societies, the family unit is especially strong. So it is not common for teenagers to_______ (move) out. Chinese parents believe that it is better for children to live with parents who can_______(take) care of them. But the young should then look after their parents as they get older. That is why many Chinese adults ______(continue) to live with their parents.P54 2bShould I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions?Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on hisschool team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. However, his parents wo n’t allow him to train so much. “Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu. “And we know how much he loves running. My wife and I have supported every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs to thi nk about other possible jobs. He’s getting older now, so he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t end up a professional runner.”Liu Yu doesn’t really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,”he says. “My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I’m serious about running. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don’t allow him to practice running at night. “Maybe he thinks it’s too strict or unfair,” says Mrs. Liu. “But we think we’re doing the right thing. He needs to spend more time on his homework because becoming a professional sports star is a difficult dream.”But Liu Yu still disagrees. “I know my parents care about me. They always talk about what will happen if I don’t succeed. But I will! I’m a quick runner! I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my d ream.”Unit8 It must belong to Carla.P59 3aWe live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quiet and nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days,something unusual is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don’t think so!”Victor’s next-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. “At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, either. So I guess it can’t be a dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something running away, but it was dark so she is not sure. “I think it was too big to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.”Everyone in our town is feeling uneasy, and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must be something visiting the homes in our neighborhood, but what is it? We have no idea. Most people hope that this animal or person will simply go away, but I do not think that is going to happen. The noise-maker is having too much fun creating fear in the neighborhood.P62 2bStonehenge — Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There?Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places, but also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than750,000 visitors. Especially in June, people go to this place as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient。

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 ideas,andShakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to ustoday.People have always read,and will always read greatbooks.By the way,what do you think of Mark Twain,theGreat American writer in the nineteenth century?Betty:He wasn’t important,but I suppose he isn’t as well-know asConfucius or Shakespeare.Mr.Jackson:No,but his books are still popular,and one of his book is my favourite,The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.Betty:Great!Why don’t you join in the discussion and tell us about it?M7 U2A book review of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.By Betty King.One of my favourite great books is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,by Mark Twain.The story is set in the town of St Petersburg,Missouri,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 gets into trouble.He and his best friend,Huck Finn,run away to an island in the middle of the MississippiRiver.Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for ter,Tom escapes from a cave with another friend,Becky.He also finds Injun Joe’s treasure box and takes it away.My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Hunk start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River.At first, they are happy.But when they hear that everyone thinks they are died,they feel very sorry,so they come back home.They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours 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’s more than an adventure story.Mark Twain wrote it in 1876.it describes people’slives 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’s 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.M8 U1Lingling: Hi, Tony. You look tired.Tony:Yes. I'm training for the big match next week.Betty: Who are you playing against?Daming: HAS.Lingling: What does HAS stand for?Tony: Haidian All Stars.Betty: Oh, yes. It’ll be a difficult match.Didn’t they beat 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 tea 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 is no difference between the two teams this season. Betty:When is the match?Tony: It’s next Saturday at afternoon,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 has 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 kick 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.M8 U2Liu 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 atthe Athens Olympic Games and won a gold medal.Liu Xiang was not a successful sportsman at first. He was born inShanghai 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. Liuwas encouraged at first to train for the high jump.In1998, 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 helpyoung sportsmen and sportswomen.Liu Xiang was among them.His raceswere recorded, and he was compared with the world's best sports stars. SunHaiping used the information to change his training methods for Liu Xiang.In May 2001,He won his first international 110m hurdles race in Japan. In2004, He won the first Olympic gold medal for China in the 110m hurdlesrace,and at the same time broke the Olympic Games record.It was also thefirst time an Olympic gold medals for hurdling was hang round the neck of a sportsperson from an Asian country.Liu Xiang trained very hard.In fact,he trained so hard that he hurt hisfoot.From 2008 on,he suffered a lot from his foot problem,but he did notgive up.Though he missed some competitions,he still returned to first placein the world 110m hurdles race in 2012.It is a pity that his foot problem stopped him from completing the 2012London Olympic Games.But he is still a symbol of courage and success,andwe continue to take great pride in him.M9 U1Tony: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.They’ll be put up on the school website.And they can be seen on the Internet by other classes,even people living in other countries.Dad:Sounds great!When I was at school,we wait for weeks to hear from our pen friends abroad.But today,we can send and receive photos and mails on theInternet,and it’s really fast.Tony:Yes, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives.We even use online textbooks in our class.I wonder...Will computers be used more than books in the future.Dad:Perhaps.In the past,we mainly got information from paper books.Some are huge ones with thousands of pages.Today,with the invention with the computer and the electronic technology ,it’s easy to get information on the Internet .The Internet is more powerful than books.Tony:Anyway,about the camera...?Dad:Oh,yes.Here it is. I haven’t used it since your mum’s birthday.And the memory may be full.Tony:OK.That can be fixed.I’ve got an empty memory card.Where are the instructions.Dad:In the camera bag.It’s a gift from your mum for my birthday,so you must promise that you’ll take good care of it.If you have to lend it to anyone,tell them to use it properly.Tony:Promise!Will books be replaced by the Internet.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 start to write on paper to make a book. In those days, books were only be produced one at a timeby hand. As a result, they were not many books,and they were expensive and rare. So few people had the chance to learn to read.Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tangter,developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply.A trade in books resulted,and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spreadfaster 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 stull young,it is growing very fast,and may become more powerful than printing.A much larger 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 era 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.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 have 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,it’s aspecial and magical place.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 2600 kilometres long.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 are holding are used to cut the wool off the sheep.Do you know that manyAustralians came from Britain?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 place .I had to brush them off my thes,escially my trousers!Tony:Ants in your trousers!that’s really funny!Dad:It wasn’t funny at the time!M10 U2Dear Mum and Dad,I'm writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment, we're 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 perioods of the day, the colours of the rock ture 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're like us in many ways. The food 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 Australia 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's December, it's 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 "No worries.", they mean "Hello!" and "Don't worry about it. It's not a “G’day!” andproblem!"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're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It has been a wonderful trip!Love,TonyM11 U1Daming:Are you going to enter the photo competition,Tony?Tony:You bet!I want to beat He Zhong this year.He’s not going to win it twice! Daming:Who’s He Zhong?Tony:He’s the boy who won the photo competition last year!Daming:The one who took photos at the school dance?Tony:That’s right.The thing is,he’s really good.And the general standard of the competition is much higher this year.Daming:I have a feeling that we can solve these little difficulties.What are the subjects that they’ve chosen for this year’s competition?Tony:Nature,Home and Away,City and People,and Music.Daming:I think He Zhong will choose the subject Home and Away,and take photos of Beijing?Tony:But Beijing isn’t my home town.It’s Cambrige.Daming:It doesn’t matter.Take some photos of Beijing and add some photos of Cambridge that you took recently.Tony:That’s a good idea.What about that photo of my cousin flying kites with Chinese kids in the Summer Palace?And the one of him reading a Chinese menu for the first time in Cambridge?Daming:Nice photos!I’m sure you’re in with a chance!M11 U2Results of the photo competitionTonight I am more than happy to read out the winners of the photo competition.We are very pleased with our competition this pared with other years,we recieved many more photos.Even though all of the photos are excellent,we are sorry to say that we cannot give prizes to everyone.The person who won the prize for the subject Nature is ffiteen-year-old Li Wei.Li Wei took a photo of the trees in Xiangshan Park.His photo shows the different colours on the hill.The photo we liked best in the city and People group was taken by Zhao Min.Zhao Min is only twelve years old.Her photo shows a person rushing across a street on a windy evening.It is a beautiful girl who is wearing a blouse and skirt, and who is protecting her books against the showers.The best photo in the music group was taken by He Zhong.His photo of the group Crazy Feet shows the singer,Becky Wang,and the band playing at aconcert.He Zhong manages to show how this great new band moves and sounds,and the good time which their fans are having.A group of photos which show Beijing and Cambridge in England have won the prize for the subject Home and Away.They show some of the experience of a young vistor to our country,and some memories of his home.The winner is Tony Smith.Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who entered thecompetition.Now let’s welcome our headmaster to present the prizes to the winners!M12 U1Lingling:After our lesson on the environment,I’m worried about the future.Pollution is our gret enemy,and we have to fight it.If the rivers arepolluted ,farmers 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’ve 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 we can be recycled or used again.Then the school sells the waste and use the money to helpstudents 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.M12 U2How to be green.By Wang Lingling.How green are you? Answer these questions and find out.•Do you try to 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 home?•Do you take your own bag when shopping and no ask for a plastic bags?•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.ReduceReduce means "use less". Do not waste things. It saves money and causes less pollution.Do you 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!ReuseReuse 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’s better to use china cups and cloth bags because they can be used many times.RecycleRecycle means "change things into something else to be reused". Although it takes energy to change things into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Divide your rubbish into plastic,glass,paper and rubber.Develop a recyling policy for the whole community.But products suah 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 woeld for our grandsons and granddaughters tomorrow.。

You're Sitting in My Seat!The train to Beijing! Lin often dreamed about the train, and about going to the capital. Now it was in front of him, to set off soon. He looked at his brother."Don't forget where you come from, little brother," Jin said. "And watch your bags carefully."Lin nodded, unable to speak. This was his first long trip by train at the start of his new life, leaving his village and his home for the last 16 years.He held Jin in his arms. With tears in his eyes, Jin pushed Lin away. "Go, brother. Write to us as soon as you get there, OK?"Lin jumped onto the train. There were people and bags everywhere. He pushed past them towards his seat.A young man was sitting in Lin's seat. He was wearing jeans and a very smart jacket, and was smoking a cigarette.What should he do? Six pairs of eyes looked at Lin, while the man looked out of the window."Sir, you're sitting in my seat," Lin said, with a nervous smile. The other people watched with interest.The man didn't turn to look at Lin, but just looked out of the window."Excuse me. I have a ticket with the number of the seat you're sitting in!" Lin said in a stronger voice."I also have a ticket with that number—though it is in another car. Besides, I was here first," said the man, without moving his head. Though he was sitting, he looked very tall and strong.Lin looked at the other passengers for help. "But ... " he started to say."But what?" The man turned and looked at Lin. "I'm not moving."Finally a man wearing glasses spoke in a loud voice. "This young man has the right ticket for that seat. You should move."Lin felt brave. "See? Please move. I've got a long way to go.""How long?" the young man asked."To the last stop, Beijing.""I'm getting off before you. Then you can have my seat. ""Where is that?" asked Lin."Hangzhou."Lin thought Hangzhou was far away."It's seven hours away from here," the man with glasses said. "Even if it's only 10 minutes, you should move."Slowly the young man stood up, dropped his cigarette on the floor, and disappeared down the train.Module 2 Unit 1Listen and read.Betty: Hey, Tony!

But ...Betty: But what ...?Tony: ... but I prefer our school!Daming: I bet we're even better than Park School at English!Lingling: Well, anyway, we're all going to get top grades for English!Module 2 Unit 2Read the passage and write a short title for each photo.My School LifeMy name is Sally Maxwell, and I'm 15. I've been at Park School, London since Iwas 11. If I pass my exams next year, I'll stay here until I'm 18.Park School is a secondary school, about 20 minutes by bike away from home. Before I came here, I went to primary school, near my home. I started primary school when I was five and stayed there for six years.The schoolday is from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. We spend the first 10 minutes in our classroom while our teacher checks which pupils are present or absent. Then everyone goes to the main hall. There our head teacher makes a speech and tells us any news about the school. Lessons begin at 9:05 and last for an hour. We have a break at 11:05 until 11:20, then another lesson, then lunch for an hour. We have two more lessons before school finishes.This year I have 11 subjects: maths, biology, chemistry, French, history, geography, music and IT, PHSE, ADT and PE (these stand for Information Technology; Personal Health and Safety Education; Art, Design and Technology and Physical Education). Fortunately, we don't have exams in every subject. PHSE is about the dangers of drugs and smoking, among other things. In ADT we also do things like learning to cook as well as drawing and design. Some people can do Italian and Spanish instead of French, but no one is learning Chinese ... yet! PE involves physical exercise, basketball, training in the gym and swimming—we're really lucky to have a swimming pool.I took exams when I was 7, 10, and 14 years old. Next year I take my exams in eight subjects, and then I can do between three and five subjects for the exams in my final year.We have a large sports ground where we play football, tennis and do athletics both during and after school hours. After-school activities, such as sports clubs and language societies are popular, too. During the school year there are usually visits to museums and galleries, and to camps for activities, such as climbing and cycling in the country. There are parties and discos and a sports day, and the school play isa really important event. Once a term, there is a parents' meeting, so our parents and teachers can talk about our progress.What's the best thing about school? English, history, music ... and my friends. What's the worst thing? Homework ... and exams!Module 3 Unit 1Listen and read.Betty'smum: It's getting late, Betty.Betty: Nearly finished! I'm doing a composition: Is life today better or worse than it was 50 years ago ?Betty'smum: And what do you think?Betty: I think it's better. The most important difference is that people arehealthier today, and they live longer than they did in the past.Betty's mum: That's true. The advantage is that we know more about medicine today.We're better at preventing illness . But people don't eat as well as in the past, and don't take as much exercise as they did.Betty: I suppose that's because public transport is much better today.Betty's mum: Yes, I agree. People walk or use their bikes less, and they're lazier. Faster transport also makes more pollution. And that makes life more dangerous and less healthy.Betty: What about work? People don't have to work as hard as they worked 50years ago.Betty's Yes, but no one ever says they have too much free time! I also thinkmum: schoolchildren today work harder than we ever did.Betty: Yes, but I really want to do my best.Betty'smum: Why don't you ask Mrs Li downstairs? She's seen how life has changed.Betty: That's a good idea. Talking of free time, don't forget I'm going on theschool trip next month, and the theatre visit.Betty'smum: Good! You'll be more relaxed and less nervous before your exams.Module 3 Unit 2Read this sentence from the passage. It's an example of a main point.Example: My parents, my sister and three brothers lived in a small house besidea restaurant.Mainpoint: Families were bigger in the past..Now choose the correct main point for these examples from the passage.1.

Looking after us was a full-time job, so she stayed at home.Married women were too busy at home to continue working. (T)It wasn't necessary for the mother to work.3. ... my mother never bought ready-made food as people do today.There wasn't any fast food in the past.The food we eat today isn't as healthy as it was.

Yes, there are lots more buildings and so much more traffic!Cars are cheaper today.There was less traffic in the past. (T)Module 4 Unit 1Listen and read.Lingling: I'm really looking forward to the Shakespeare play.Betty: Me too! And the school trip to the Great Wall.Lingling: Yes, but I need a thick jacket, and some warm gloves and socks. Betty: In May?Lingling: I get really cold.Betty:OK. Let's go shopping!Lingling: How about that new shopping centre in Wangfujing? You know, turn left and go along Wangfujing, and it's on the right.Betty: Sure. We'll go by bus, OK? And have you decided what to wear to theschool leavers' party?Lingling: I've got a really nice long dress . What about you?Betty:I'll probably wear a dress, too, but I need some shoes. OK, I'll meet you in front of school at two o'clock this afternoon.(Later .)Betty: How about this jacket?Lingling:It's the right size but it's a bit bright.Betty: Let's see if they have one in blue. Where's the shop assistant ?Lingling:It's that girl with long hair over there. Excuse me!Shopassistant: Can I help you?Betty:Yes, do you have this jacket in blue?Shop assistant: No, I don't think so. But we've got some overcoats over here. Come this way.Betty: No, she doesn't want an overcoat.Lingling: Hey, I really like these shoes!Betty: Oh, take a look at that amazing skirt!Lingling: I think we're going to be here for some time.Module 4 Unit 2Read the passage and find out what the words and expressions mean. big name; designer clothes; logo; look coolLooking Cool1.What do you look for when you go shopping for clothes? Do you choose something fashionable ... or comfortable? Do you like to look different? Or do you wear the same clothes as your friends? Do you go for this year's colours? Is it the logo—the company symbol—that catches your attention? Or maybe film stars are wearing these clothes? What helps you choose the clothes you like?2.Everyone spends money on clothes, and everyone has their personal look. The best-known clothing companies sell their "designer" clothes all over the world. But the number of these big name companies is in fact very small, and the clothes they make are more expensive than the clothes made by less well-known companies. Many people even prefer them to cheaper clothes. Why?3.Many young people today care about the way they look. They often buy "designer" clothes because they think they look cool. Then the less well-known companies make clothes which look the same. But they don't sell as well because they don't have the logo.4.People also think designer clothes are better made. For example, many people think the right running shoes will make you run faster or play better. Of course, this is not always true. It's the training—not the trainers—that improves your speed or your score. But that's not the point. People believe that it's true ...and then buy the shoes. The big companies only want to make a lot of money.5.Above all, designer clothes are more popular because of clever advertising. All of the international companies spend millions of dollars every year to make us buy their clothes. And they succeed!6.Most people dress in a way that shows off their personality. But if some of us buy expensive clothes just to look cool, what does that say about us? Maybe it's just clever advertising.7.So next weekend, think about the clothes you put on. What's the logo on your trainers? Who made your jeans? And how many of your friends wear the same clothes as you do? And then think that maybe some of us could spend our money better.Module 5 Unit 1 Listen and read.Mr Jackson: OK, listen up! Before we can enjoy ourselves on the Great Wall, there are a few rules and suggestions. OK?All: Yes, Mr Jackson.Mr Jackson: First, you must keep to the path. You mustn't walk along the edge because you might fall and hurt yourself. Is that clear?All: Yes.Mr Jackson: And you have to keep together. You mustn't go off on your own, because you might get lost.All: No, Mr Jackson.Daming: Can we have something to eat now? I'm starving!Mr Jackson: No, you can't, Daming! You only had breakfast an hour ago. I think we should start walking, and then stop at noon for our picnic. But you shouldn't drink all the water, because you may need some later.Betty: Can we go rock climbing?Mr Jackson: Yes, you can, but you must use ropes. You have to think about personal safety! And you must have the right shoes. OK, I think that's all. Let's go down this path, and then we can cross the stream and climb up to the top of that mountain. Then we can take a look across the countryside ...Daming: ... and have lunch?Mr Jackson: ... and then walk along that part of the wall, up there. Come on!

Bears About!On our first evening, the three of us were tired after walking for about eight hours. We soon fell asleep.In the middle of the night, there was a strange noise outside. But when I looked out of the tent, there was nothing to see.In the morning, I got up to make breakfast. The bag of food was open."Bears," said Joe. "We should hang the food in a tree tonight."Later that day we stopped in a beautiful valley by a stream. It was very peaceful, and we fell asleep listening to the sound of water.During the night the bears came back. This time they took the food from the tree."How did they do that?" I asked."Not high enough. Bears can climb trees. They can smell food from a distance. We should pick up the rubbish, too."The first rule of camping is to keep a clean camp site. You can't leave anything which bears might think is food."OK, let's tidy the site up, and move on. Oh, and we should make lots of noise, too. If they know where we are, they may not come any closer," said Joe."If you see a bear," said Joe, "you mustn't move or make any gesture. And above all, you mustn't run. No one can run faster in the forest than a bear."We went to sleep ... or we tried to.The next day we stopped at midday for something to eat, and while the others were resting, I went for a walk in the forest.Suddenly, I saw a baby bear playing with some sticks and stones. He looked so friendly, and I remember thinking, "If I reach out, I can just touch him."There was a loud noise behind me.I stood very still. I didn't even turn my head. There was another loud noise, and I still couldn't see what was happening. The baby bear looked up, and ran past me into the woods.I stayed in the same position for five minutes, maybe more. Then slowly I turned round, and on the hillside about 300 metres away I saw the baby bear and his huge mother.I have never run so fast, back to my friends.For the next 10 days, every time there was a sudden noise, my blood went cold.

Say what the advantages or dangers are.Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3Read the passage. Which paragraphs describe what you can see in the pictures?Six Rules for a Safe and Healthy LifeThanks to improvements in both health care and personal safety, most people are living healthier, longer lives. Someone who is born today can expect to live 25 years longer than someone who was born in the 19th century. It's even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthday. Here are six rules for a healthy life.1. Be careful! It's dangerous out there!We all know that we shouldn't run across the road in front of the oncoming traffic, or cycle too close to cars. But we're not sure about how to stay safe in thecountryside. When you're out walking, you should always go with someone, and tellyour parents where you're planning to go. Remember! Climbing may also mean falling—what goes up must come down. Safety rules and advice are there to help you, not to make life less fun.2. Don't be a couch potato!Sure, it's comfortable to sit on the couch and watch. But experts say you should walk at least 10,000 steps every day to keep fit. In the past, people's jobs required more physical effort. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past?3. Watch your diet!It's important to eat plenty of the right things, above all, fruit, vegetables, and to see fast food or sweets as something very special—maybe just now and then. The wrong diet means you'll put on weight, one of the fastest ways to an unhealthy life.4. Rest up while you can!When we were babies, we slept for much of the day—if our parents were lucky! Teenagers don't need as much sleep but it's important to get about eight hours' sleep. At weekends, you've got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest, too.5. Don't worry. Be happy!Many doctors believe that happiness is important for our general health. If you're worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher.6. Say no ... to smoking and drugs!Yes, you knew I was going to say this! But it's so important. More teenagers damage their health through smoking and taking drugs than any other dangers. Think about the effect on your family and friends, and think about its effect on you and your health.Happy living!Module 7 Unit 1Look at the party invitation and answer the questions.

What are you going to make?Lingling: Suanla tang , I guess.Betty: What's that?Lingling: Hot and sour soup. It's made with chicken or pork and vegetables.Betty: But the invitation says finger food!

What about you?Betty: Hamburgers, with cheese in a bread roll .Tony: And you, Daming?Daming: Jiaozi ! The best jiaozi in China are made by my grandmother!Betty: Is she invited to the school leavers' party, too?Daming: Hm, I see what you mean. What about you, Tony?Tony: A traditional English pizza with cheese, tomato and ham.Betty: Pizza isn't English! It was invented in Italy, not England!Tony: But pizza can be eaten everywhere in England.Betty: I don't think Shakespeare ate pizza!Module 7 Unit 2Read the passage. What are the most surprising pieces of information about meals and eating customs in the West?Do as the Romans DoThere's a saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." And when you eat Western food, do as the Westerners do. Here are some things you may wish to know about eating together in the West.In the West, lunch is eaten later, always after midday, sometimes at one o'clock. Dinner is served around 7 p.m. or even later. In Spain it's usual to eat lunch at 2 p.m. and dinner at 10 p.m.!At the start of a meal the Chinese usually say "manman chi". The French say "Bon appetit", and the Italians say "Buon appetito". But there's no similar expression in English! "Enjoy your meal" is usually only said by a waiter. For "ganbei", you can say "Cheers"!Chopsticks are only used when people eat Chinese food. Knives and forks are used for most food. The fork is held in your left hand and the knife in your right, and the food is held with the fork and cut with the knife. Americans often cut all their food first, and then put the fork in their right hand to eat it. Soup is drunk with a spoon. However, there is some food which can be eaten with your fingers, such as chicken legs, seafood, bread and cake.At the start of a meal, if you're the guest, you'll be invited to serve yourself ("Help yourself!"), or your plate will be filled by your host ("Can I serve you?"). If you've been given something you don't like, it should be pushed to the edge of the plate and left. You don't have to say why, but if you feel an explanation is required, just say, "I'm sorry. I can't eat this." No one will be cross. If you're offered more food, but can't eat any more, just say, "No, thanks. It was delicious, but I've had enough."Generally, fewer dishes are prepared than in China. It isn't thought to be so important to offer too much food.Finally, it's sometimes difficult to know when the meal is over. If you've been invited to dinner by Western friends, you'll know that you're expected to stay and talk around the dinner table long after the last dish has been brought to the table, and it's thought quite rude if you leave as soon as you finish eating.The golden rule is: Watch the other people. Do as they do.Module 8 Unit 1 Listen and read.Tony'smum: How was the play?Tony: Well, I was pleased to see it, but three hours is a long time to stay still. Tony'smum: Was it in English?Tony: Yes, it was acted by the Beijing English Theatre Company.Tony'smum: What was the best bit ?Tony: The fight between the two families and their servants ! And the actorswho played the roles of Romeo and Juliet were superb ! But it's sad atthe end, because Juliet loves Romeo, but her father has decided shemust marry someone else. So they both decide to kill themselves. Tony'smum: "A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life."Tony: OK, OK, I'm impressed . Can you recite any more lines ?Tony'smum: No, that's all I can remember. Did you have a good seat?Tony: Well, it was hard to see the play at the back. The best place to sit is inthe front row .Tony'smum: Could you hear the dialogue ?Tony: I guessed what they were saying, but their voices weren't very loud.。

九年级3A课文原文How I Learned to Learn EnglishLast year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything. Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this excitin g and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies too. Although I could not（couldn't）understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get it by listening for just the key words.My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I didn’t understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary. Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.Unit4 I used to be afraid of the darkA_3aFrom Shy Girl to Pop StarFor this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds. I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the ti me. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do.And I don’t have much private time anymore.Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me nowbecause there are always guards around me.” What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you ha ve to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.”Unit5 What are the shirts made of?The Difficult Search for American Goods in the USIf you go to another country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland?No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products are made in those countries.Howeve r, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from st year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco.He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China.“I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.” Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!”He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China.“In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China ― footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American fl ags are made in China!”Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things.However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.Unit6 When was it invented?An Accidental InventionDid you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident?Many people believe that tea was first drunk about 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water anyway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented. More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the fines t tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn’t appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Wester n countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best u nderstand the nature of tea.Unit8 It must belong to Carla.We live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quiet and nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days, something unusual is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don’t think so!”Victor’s next-door neighbor Helen is worried,too. “At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, either. So I guess it can’t be a dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something running away, but it was dark so she is not sure. “I think it was too big to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.”Everyone in our town is feeling uneasy, and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must be something visiting the homes in our neighborhood, but what is it? We have no idea. Most people hope that this animal or person will simply go away, but I do not think that is going to happen.The noise-maker is having too much fun creating fear in the neighborhood.Unit9 I like music that I can dance to.What Do You Feel Like Watching Today?While some people only stick to one kind of movie, I like to watch differen t kinds depending on how I feel that day.When I’m down or tired, I prefer movies that can cheer me up. Comedies like Men in Black or cartoons like Kungfu Panda have funny dialogues and usually have a happy ending. The characters may not be perfect, but they try their best to solve their problems. After watching them, the problems I have suddenly seem less serious and I feel much better again. Laughing for two hours is a good way to relax!I don’t watch dramas or documentaries when I’m sad or tired. Dramas like Titanic make me feel even sadder. Documentaries like March of the Penguins which provide plenty of information about a certain subject can be interesting, but when I’m tired I don’t want to think too much. Idon’t mind action movies like Spider-Man when I’m too tired to think. I can just shut off my brain, sit back and enjoy watching an exciting superhero who always saves the world just in time.Once in a while, I like to watch movies that are scary, They can be f un,but I’m too scare to watch them alone. I always bring a friend who isn’t afraid of these kinds of movies, and it doesn't feel so scary anymore.Unit10 You’re supposed to shake hands.Where I’m from, we’re pretty relaxed about time. We don’t like to rush around, so we don’t mind if people are a little late sometimes. If you tell a friend you’re going to their house for dinner, it’s OK if you arrive a bit late. We like to enjoy our time slowly. We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives. We often just drop by our friends’homes if we have time. We don’t usually have to make plans to meet our friends. When we see each other, it’s polite for boys to shake hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face. We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!In Switzerland, it’s very important to be on time. We’re th e capital of clocks and watches, after all! If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon, then you’re expected to be there at noon. If you’re even 15 minutes late, your friend may get mad. So I make an effort to be on time when I meet my friends. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic. I don’t mind because I think it’s impolite to keep others waiting. Also, we never visit a friend’s house without calling first. We almost always make plans to see friends. We usually plan to do something interesting, or go somewhere together.U11The Shirt of a Happy Man( Part 1)A long time ago, in a rich and beautiful country, there lived an unhappy king, He slept badly and didn’t feel like eating. His face was always pale as chalk. He often cried for no reason. Thismade the queen and his people worried.One day, a doctor was called in to examine the king. But he found nothing wrong with his body. “ It’s all in his mind.Neither medicine nor rest can help him. What he needs is the shirt of a happy person to wear. That’ll make him happy.”The prime minister was called to the palace. But when they explained the king’s situation to him, he said, “ Although I have a lot of power, it doesn’t make me happy. I’m always worried about losing my power. Many people are trying to take my position.”Then, the king’s banker came to the palace. “ Oh, I’m afraid I’m not happy either,” he said. “ I have a lot of wealth, but I’m always worried about losing my money. Someone tries to steal my money every day.”Next, the palace singer came to the king’s room. But this was what he said : “ It’s true that I’m famous and everyone loves my songs. But I’m not happy because I’m always worried about being followed by others. I cannot be free!”Finally, the king’s top general was told to go out and find a happy man in three days’ time.Unit 12Life Is Full of the UnexpectedIn May 2001, I found a job in New York at the World Trade Center. On September 11,2001, I arrived at my building at around 8:30 a.m. I was about to go up when I decided to get a coffeefirst. I went to my favorite coffee place even though it was two blocks east from my office. As I was waiting in line with other office workers, I heard a loud sound. Before I could join the others outside to see what was going on, the first plane had already hit my office building. We stared in disbelief at the black smok e rising above the burning building. I felt lucky to be alive.Almost 10 years later,I woke up at 10:00 a.m. on February 21,2011 and realized that my alarm had never gone off. I jumped out of bed and went straight to the airport. But by the time I got to the airport, my plane to New Zealand had already taken off.“ This is the firs t holiday I have taken in a year, and now I m’ve missed y plane. What bad luck!” I thought to myself. The other planes were full so I had to wait till the next day. The next morning, I heard about the earthquake in New Zealand the day before. My bad luck had unexpectedly turned into a good thing.Unit 13Save the Sharks!Many have heard of shark fin soup. This famous and expensive dish is especially popular in southern China. But do you realize that you are killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the shark back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.Environmental protection groups around the world, such as Wild Aid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”.They have even asked governme nts to develop laws to stopthe sale of shark fins. So far, no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health, so why eat them ? Help save the sharks!。
