Unit 5 ELIAS` STORYMy name is Elias.I am a poor black worker in South Africa.The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life.I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice.He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems.He was generous with his time, for which I was grateful.I needed his help because I had very little education.I began school at six. The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometers away.I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare.I could not read or write well.After trying hard,I got a job in a gold mine.However,this was a time when one had got to havea passbook to live in Johannesburg.Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work.The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest.He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg.I became more hopeful about my future.I never forgot how kind Mandela was.When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could.He said:"The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.”It was the truth.Black people could not vote or choose their leaders.They could not get the jobs they wanted.The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people.The places outside the towns where they were sent to live were the poorest parts of South Africa.No one could grow food there .In fact as Nelson Mandela said:“…we were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws.We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed…only then did we decide to answer violence with violence.……As a matter of fact, I do not like violence…but in 1963 I helped him blow up some government buildings.It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison.But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white people equal.Book 1 Unit 5△Nelson Mandela /'nelsn mæn'delə/ 纳尔逊·曼德拉(前南非共和国总统)quality /'kwɔləti/ n. 质量；品质；性质△warm-hearted /wɔ:m 'ha:tid/ adj. 热心肠的mean /mi:n/ adj. 吝啬的；自私的；卑鄙的active /'æktiv/ adj. 积极的；活跃的generous /'dʒenərəs/ adj. 慷慨的；大方的△easy-going /i:zi:'gəuiŋ/ adj. 随和的；温和宽容的self /self/ n. 自我；自身selfish /'selfiʃ/ adj. 自私的selfless /'selflis/ adj. 无私的；忘我的selflessly /'selflisli/ adv. 无私地；忘我地devote /di'vəut/ vt. （与to连用）献身；专心于devoted /di'vəutid/ adj. 忠实的；深爱的△William Tyndale /'wiljəm 'tindl/ ` v cde2威廉·廷代尔(英国早期新教改革者)△Bible /'baibl/ n．《圣经》△Norman Bethune /'nɔ:mən bə'θu:n/ 诺曼·白求恩(加拿大胸外科医师)△invader /in'veidə/ n. 侵略者found /faund/ vt. 建立；建设republic /ri'pʌblik/ n. 共和国；共和政体principle /'prinsəpl/ n. 法则；原则；原理△nationalism /'næʃnəlizəm/ n. 民族主义；国家主义△livelihood /'laivlihud/ n. 生计；谋生△Mohandas Gandhi /məu'hændəs 'gændi/ 莫罕达斯·甘地(印度国民大会党领袖) peaceful /'pi:sful/ adj. 和平的；平静的；安宁的△giant /'dʒaiənt/ adj. 巨大的；庞大的△leap /li:p/ n. 飞跃；跳跃mankind /mæn'kaind/ n. 人类lawyer /'lɔ:jə/ n. 律师guidance /'ɡaidəns/ n. 指导；领导legal /'li:ɡl/ adj. 法律的；依照法律的fee /fi:/ n. 费（会费；学费等）；酬金△passbook /'pɑ:sbuk/ n.南非共和国有色人种的身证△Johannesburg /dʒəu'hænisbə:g/ n．约翰内斯堡(南非城市)out of work 失业hopeful /'həupful/ adj. 有希望的△ANC非国大；非洲人国民大会；非洲民族会议(African National Congress)youth /ju:θ/ n. 青年；青年时期league /li:ɡ/ n. 同盟；联盟；联合会Youth League青年团stage /steidʒ/ n. 舞台；阶段；时期vote /vəut/ vt. & vi. 投票；选举n. 投票；选票；表决attack /ə'tæk/ vt. 进攻；攻击；抨击violence /'vaiələns/ n. 暴力；暴行as a matter of fact 事实上blow up 使充气；爆炸equal /'i:kwəl/ adj. 相等的；平等的in trouble 在危险；受罚；痛苦；忧虑等的处境中willing /'wiliŋ/ adj. 乐意的；自愿的unfair /ʌn'fεə/ adj. 不公正的；不公平的turn to 求助于；致力于△quote /kwəut/ n. 引用语；语录△release /ri'li:s/ vt. 释放；发行lose heart 丧失勇气或信心△Robben Island /'rɔbən 'ailənd/ 罗本岛escape /i'skeip/ vi. 逃脱；逃走；泄露blanket /'blæŋkit/ n. 毛毯；毯子educate /'edʒukeit/ vt. 教育；训练educated /'edʒukeitid/ adj. 受过教育的；有教养的come to power 当权；上台beg /beɡ/ vi. 请求；乞求relative /'relətiv/ n. 亲戚；亲属terror /'terə/ n. 恐怖；可怕的人；恐怖时期；恐怖活动cruelty /'kru:əlti/ n. 残忍；残酷reward /ri'wɔ:d/ n. 报酬；奖金vt. 酬劳；奖赏△Transkei /træns 'kai/ n. 特兰斯凯(南非东南部一地区)set up 设立；建立sentence /'sentəns/ vt. 判决；宣判be sentenced to 被判处……（徒刑）anti- /前缀/ 反；抗；阻anti-black adj. 反黑人的△Cape Town 开普敦(南非立法首都)president /'prezidənt/ n. 总统；会长；校长；行长△Nobel Peace Prize /nəu'bel 'pi:s 'praiz/诺贝尔和平奖opinion /ə'pinjən/ n. 意见；看法；主张Unit 5 THE REST OF ELIAS' STORYYou cannot imagine how the name of Robben Island made us afraid.It was a prison from which no one escaped.The re I spent the hardest time of my life.But when I got there Nelsom Mandela was also there and he helped me.Mr. Mand ela began a school for those of us who had little learning.He taught us during the lunch breaks and the evenings when we should have been asleep.We read books under our blankets and used anything we could find to make candles to see the words.I became a good student. I wanted to study for my degree but I was not allowed to do ter, Mr. Mandela all owed the prison guards to join us.He said they should not be stopped from studying for their degrees.They were not cl everer than me , but they did pass their exams.So I knew I could get a degree too.That made me feel good about myself.When I finished the four years in prison, I went to find a job.Since I was better educated, I got a job working in an of fice.However, the police found out and told my boss that I had been in prison for blowing up government buildings. So I lo st my job.I did not work again for twenty years until M r Mandela and the ANC came to power in 1994.All that time m y wife and children had to beg for food and help from relatives or friends.Luckily Mr. Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Island.I felt bad the first time I talked to a group.All the terror and fear of that time came back to me.I remembered the beatings and the cruelty of the guards and my friends w ho had died.I felt I would not be able to do it, but my family encouraged me.They said that the job and the pay from the n ew South African government were my reward after working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks.So now I am proud to show visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own land.。

2021-2022学年高一英语必修一Unit 5 Listening and Talking原文LISTENNG PART 1As many countries speak English as a first language, there are many different kinds of English around the world: British English, American English, Australian English, and many others. Some English learners might ask, " Can English speakers from different countries all understand each other? " The answer is yes. People in these countries can usually understand each other with very few problems. There are differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, but those are usually not big problems. However those differences can cause confusion for non-native English speakers. For example, a student who has learnt British English might not be familiar with the different vocabulary that an American might use. Listen to this conversation between a foreign language student and her American classmateLISTENING PART 2Amy: Thank you very much for helping me with my EnglishBetty:You're welcome!

But Gilbert Arenas believed he was a talented basketball player and that they didn’t see the talent he had. Instead of sitting there being bitter, Gilbert Arenas kept on practicing. Every day he competed intensely in one-on-one or organized team matches, and didn’t go home until late at night. For him, it wasn’t even aboutbasketball anymore, it was about proving them wrong. Now he’s a hero instead of a zero in the field of basketball, but he still chooses to wear No.0 jersey, the reason for which is to remind himself that he needs to go out there and fight every day.。

By 2030, it will be 60 percent. With more people in cities, there is less space, and housing costs more. What can we do? Here’s an idea.Container HousingThe city of Amsterdam is using old shipping containers as housing for students and other people. The containers are small—30 square meters (three hundred twenty square feet)—but they are comfortable. There is space for a living area, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. These houses are also inexpensive: only a few thousand dollars to buy. Today, the containers are used around the world as homes and student dormitories, as well as shops, offices, and hotels.Tiny HousesIn the U.S., Jay Shafer makes tiny houses for people. The smallest is only 9 square meters (98 square feet). The houses are small, but they have everything you need. On the first floor, there is a kitchen, a living area, and a bathroom. On the second floor is a bedroom. It is big enough for two people. The houses are also inexpensive. Most are $15,000.1. Container Housing集装箱房屋2.

I know container apartments are a good idea, but I think they’re ugly. They look like big boxes.M2: A tiny house is perfect for one or two people, but I have a family of four. They’re just too small.F2: Tiny houses are inexpensive to make and buy so you save money. Also, they’re small so you use less water and energy. They’re good for people and the Earth.1.some place to live一个住的地方2. a family of four一家四口人3.save money省钱LISTENING SKILLSScript1) Laura is one of the top students in Grade One.2) Ted likes to sing English pop songs.3) Listening is not a big problem for me.4) Frank can speak six languages fluently.5) I’d like to read novels and short stories in English.6) Bob’s strong local accent makes it difficult for us to understand him.1. one of the top students优秀学生之一2. local accent当地口音PART III VIDEO ECO-FRIENDLY HOMESCRIPTNarrator:This is the Cohen’s home. It’s a three-bedroom house in a suburb in the United States. It’s a nice area, but there is a problem with this house: it uses a lot of energy.But this isn’t surprising. Houses and buildings use forty percent of all the energy in the United States. And many homes waste a lot of energy.Amory Lovins teaches people to save energy in their homes.Today, he is visiting the Cohen’s house. Lovins walks around the house, and he finds different problems. There’s a problem with the heater in one room, and the freezer in the kitchen. Lovins:“Oh, what have we here...?”Narrator:We don’t have to use a lot of electricity in our homes, says Lovins. There are simple ways to save energy.It’s surprising; homes waste a lot of energy, even while you sleep.To save energy in your home, unplug electronics when you’re not using them.Lovins:“Do you see that little red light down in the corner?”Narrator:Now, the TV is off, but it’s still using energy because it’s plugged in. The Cohens pay sixty dollars every year for this extra energy. The Cohen family has lots of electronics. They’re all plugged in. So they’re always using energy.Lovins lives in Aspen, Colorado, in the mountains. His house is very eco-friendly. All of the home’s electricity comes from solar panels.Some days, it’s below -40 degrees Celsius here. But Lovins’ house is warm, thanks to the solar panels.In fact, Lovins’whole house uses very little energy—only 120 watts. That’s a little more energy than you need to turn on one light bulb.It’s a very eco-friendly home.1. a three-bedroom house一幢有三间卧室的房子2.unplug electronics拔出电器的电源插头3.plug in插上电源的插头4.thanks to幸亏；由于。

Here are three reasons:First, white people did not have to carry passbooks and could work anywhere.As a black person I could not work without a passbook.

George：Ann,I am afraid I’m going to fail my English exam again. Ann: Why are you so pessimistic George?
George：Because listening is always my weakness. I’m just not good at it.
Ann: Is that the only reason? It may due to your lack of practice. George：You are probably right.
Ann: Don’t worry about it, for practice makes perfect. I’ll share with you some listening materials. They might be helpful in preparing for the exam. I believe you can pass the exam if you practice a lot. George：Oh, thank you. That’s very nice of you.

Ben: Hi, Ann. Have you heard the Top 10 Songs of this week?
Ann: Yes.
Ben: Which do you like most?
Ann: No. four.
Ben: You mean “S weetheart”?
Ann: Yes. I think it’s more beautiful than the others because of Mariah Carey’s marvelous voice.
Ben: What do you think of “Cold Wind”?
Ann: I like it as well. But I don’t like the song “Y our Lips” at all.
Ben: Why is that?
Ann: I don’t know the exact reason, maybe because the rhythm is too slow. It puts me to sleep.
Ben: That’s why I love it.
Ann: Really?
Ben: Yes, thanks to its slow rhythm I can fall asleep quickly.

I was sitting on the beach on a hot summer’s day, watching two children, a boy and a girl, playing with the sand. They were working hard at building a sandcastle. When they finished, a big wave came along and knocked it down.
I thought the children would cry after all their hard work had turned to nothing. But they surprised me. Hand in Hand, they got up and run away from the water’s edge, then sat down to build another one.
They really taught me a lesson. If things go wrong, we shouldn’t sit around and feel sorry for ourselves. With the help from our friend, we can always start again.。
