高一英语人教版必修三全册课文Unit 1 Festivals around the worldFESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONSFestivals and celebrations of all kinds have been heldeverywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring andharvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starveif food was difficult to find, especially during the coldwinter months. Today’s festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people orevents. Festivals of the deadSome festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. Forthe Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean gravesand light incense in memory of their ancestors. They alsolight lamps and play music because they think that will leadthe ancestors back to earth. In Mexico, people celebrate theDay of the Dead in early November. On this important feastday, people eat food in the shape of skulls and cakes with “bones” on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to thedead. The Western holiday Halloween also had its origin inold beliefs about the return of the spirits of dead people.It is now a children’s festival, when t hey can dress up and go to their neighbours’ homes to ask for sweets. If the neighbours do not give any sweets, the children might play atrick on them.Festivals to Honour PeopleFestivals can also be held to honour famous people. TheDragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. In the USA, Columbus Day is in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. India has anational festival on October 2 to honour Mohandas Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s inde pendence from Britain.Harvest FestivalsHarvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for thewinter and the agricultural work is over. In Europeancountries, people will usually decorate churches and townhalls with flowers and fruit, and will get together to havemeals. Some people might win awards for their farm produce, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. China and Japan have mid-autumn festivals when people admire the moon and in China enjoy moon-cakes.Spring FestivalsThe most energetic and important festivals are the ones thatlook forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring.At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fishand meat and may give children lucky money in red paper.There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the Lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. These carnivals might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music andcolourful clothing of al kinds. Easter is an importantreligious and social festival for Christians around the world.It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and thecoming of spring and new life. Japan’s Cherry BlossomFestival happens a little later. The country, covered withcherry tree flowers, looks as though it is covered with pinksnow.People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun witheach other. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of ourcustoms and forget our work for a little while.A SAD LOVESTORYLI Fang was heart-broken. It was Valentine’s Day and Hu Jinhad said she would meet him at the coffee shop after work.But she didn’t turn up. She could be with her friends rightnow laughing at him. She said she would be there at seveno’clock, and he thought she would keep her word. He hadlooked forward to meeting her all day, and now he was alonewith his roses and chocolates, like a fool. Well, he was notgoing to hold his breath for her to apologize. He would drownhis sadness in coffee.It was obvious that the manager of the coffee shop waswaiting for Li Fang to leave - he wiped the tables, then satdown and turned on the TV - just what Li Fang needed! A sadChinese story about lost love.The granddaughter of the Goddess of Heaven visited the earth.Her name was Zhinü, the weaving girl. While she was on earthshe met the herd boy Niulang and they fell in love. (“Justlike me and Hu Jin,” though t Li Fang.) They got marriedsecretly, and they were very happy. (“We could be like that,” thought Li Fang.) When the Goddess of Heaven knew that her granddaughter was married to a human, she became very angryand made the weaving girl return to Heaven. Niu Lang tried tofollow her, but the river of stars, the Milky Way, stoppedhim. Finding that Zhinü was heart-broken, her grandmotherfinally decided to let the couple cross the Milky Way to meetonce a year. Magpies make a bridge of their wings so thecouple can cross the river to meet on the seventh day of theseventh lunar month. People in China hope that the weatherwill be fine on that day, because if it is raining, it meansthat Zhinü is weeping and the couple won’t be able to meet. The announcer said, “This is the story of Qiqiao Festival.When foreigners hear about the story, they call it a ChineseValentine’s story. It’s a fine day today, so I hope you cancall all meet the one you love.”As Li Fang set off for home, he thought, “I guess Hu Jin doesn’t love me. I’ll just throw these flowers andchocolates away. I don’t want them to remind me of her.” So he did.As he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way home,he heard a voice calling him. There was Hu Jin waving at himand calling, “Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting foryou for a long time! And I have a gift for you!”What would he do? He had thrown away her Valentine gifts! Shewould never forgive him. This would not be a happyValentine’s Day! Unit 2 Healthy eatingCOME AND EAT HERE (I)Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated.It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up earlyand prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs, roast pork,stir-fried vegetables and fried rice. Then by lunchtime theywould all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could have happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in thehottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and hisice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit.“Nothing could be better,” he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. “Hello, Lao Li,” he called. “Your usual?” But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. Hesaw a sign at the door. Tired of all that fat? Want to loseweight?Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.Only slimming foods served here.Make yourself thin again!Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward. “Welcome,” she said. “My name is Yong Hui. I’ll help you lose weight andbe fit in two weeks if you eat here ev ery day.” Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it： just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar,fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especiallyat the prices. It cost more than a good meal in hisrestaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down themenu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought abouthis own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go tothe library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui gettingaway with telling people lies! He had better do some research!At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that hisrestaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little. Even though her customers might get thin after eatingYong Hui’s food, they were not eati ng enough energy-giving food to keep them fit. They would become tired very quickly.Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove back home. Perhapswith a discount and a new sign he could win his customersback. So he wrote：Want to feel fit and energetic?Come and eat here! Discounts today!Our food gives you energy all day!The competition between the two restaurants was on!COME AND EAT HERE (II)A week later, Wang Peng’s restaurant was nearly full and hefelt happier. Perhaps he would be able to earn his livingafter all and not have to close his restaurant. He did notlook forward to being in debt because his restaurant was nolonger popular. He smiled as he welcomed some customerswarmly at the door but the smile left his face when he sawYong Hui walking in. She did not look happy but glared at him.“May I ask what you were doing in my restaurant the otherday? I thought you were a new customer and now I know thatyou only came to spy on me and my menu,” she shouted. “Please excuse me,” he calmly explained, “I wanted to know where all my customers had gone last week. I followed one ofthem and found them in your restaurant. I don’t want to upset you, but I found your menu so limited that I stoppedworrying and started advertising the benefits of my food. Whydon’t you sit down and try a meal?”Yong Hui agreed to stay and soon they were both enjoyingdumplings and breast of chicken cooked with garlic. When theywere served the ice cream, Yong Hui began to look ill. “I feel sick with all this fat and heavy f ood,” she said, “I miss my vegetables and fruit.” Wang Peng was enjoying a second plate of dumplings so he sighed. “Yes,” he added, “and I would miss my dumplings and fatty pork. Don’t youget tired quickly?”“Well, I do have to rest a lot,” admitted Yong Hui. “But don’t you think it would be betterif you were a bit thinner? I’m sure you’d feel much healthier.”They began to talk about menus and balanced diets.“According to my research, neither your restaurant nor mineoffers a balanced diet,” explained Wang Peng. “I don’toffer enough fibre and you don’t offer enough body-building and energy-giving food. Perhaps we ought to combine our ideasand provide a balanced menu with food full of energy andfibre.” So that is what they did. They served raw vegetabl es with the hamburgers and boiled the potatoes rather than friedthem. They served fresh fruit with the ice cream. In this waythey cut down the fat and increased thefibre in the meal.Their balanced diets became such a success that before longWang Peng became slimmer and Yong Hui put on more weight.After some time the two found that their business cooperationhad turned into a personal one. Finally they got married andlive happily ever after.Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank NoteTHE MILLION POUND BANK NOTEAct I, Scene 3： It is the summer of 1903. Two old and wealthy NARRATORbrothers, Roderick and Oliver, have made a bet. Oliverbelieves that with a million pound bank note a man couldsurvive a month in London. His brother Roderick doubts it.

Go right ahead.RODERICK：May we ask what you’re doing in this country andwhat your plans are?HENRY：Well, I can’t say that I have any plans.I’m hoping to find work. As a matter of fact,I landed in Britain by accident.RODERICK： How is that possible?HENRY： Well, you see, back home I have my own boat. About amonth ago, I was sailingout of the bay … (his eyes stare at what is left of thebrothers’ dinner on the table)OLIVER： Well, go on.HENRY： Oh, yes. Well, towards nightfall I found myselfcarried out to sea by a strong wind.It was all my fault. I didn’t know whether I could surviveuntil morning. The nextmorning I’d just about given myself up for lost when I was spotted by a ship.OLIVER： And it was the ship that brought you to England.HENRY： Yes. The fact is that I earned my passage by workingas an unpaid hand, whichaccounts for my appearance. I went tothe American embassy to seek help, but …(the brothers smile at each other)RODERICK：Well, you mustn’t worry about that. It’s an advantage.HENRY：I’m afraid I don’t quite follow you, sir.RODERICK： Tell us, Mr Adams, what sort of work did you do in America?HENRY： I worked for a mining company. Could you offer mesome kind of work here? RODERICK： Patience, Mr Adams. If you don’t mind, may I ask how much money you have? HENRY： Well, to be honest, I have none.RODERICK： (happily) What luck! Brother, what luck! (clapshis hands together)HENRY： Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me! On the contrary, in fact. If this isyour idea of some kind of joke, I don’t think it’s very funny. (Henry stands up toleave) Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll be on my way.RODERICK：Please don’t go Mr Adams. You mustn’t think we don’t care about you. Oliver, givehim the letter.OLIVER： Yes, the letter. (gets it from a desk and gives itto Henry like a gift) The letter. HENRY： (taking itcarefully) For me?RODERICK： For you.

James,show Mr Adams out.OLIVER： Good luck, Mr Adams.HENRY：Well, why don’t you explain what this is all about?RODERICK：You’ll soon know. (looks at the clock) In exactlyan hour and a half.SERVANT： This way, sir.RODERICK：Mr Adams, not until 2 o’clock. Promise?HENRY： Promise. goodbye.Unit 4 Astronomy： the science of the starsHOW LIFE BEGAN ON THE EARTHNo one knows exactly how the earth began, as it happened solong ago. However, according to a widely accepted theory, the universe began with a “Big Bang” that threw matter in all directions. After that, atoms began to form and combine tocreate stars and other bodies.For several billion years after the “Big Bang”, the eart h was still just a cloud of dust. What it was to become wasuncertain until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago whenthe dust settled into a solid globe. The earth became soviolent that it was not clear whether the shape would last ornot. It exploded loudly with fire and rock. They were in timeto produce carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapour and othergases, which were to make the earth’s atmosphere. What is even more important is that as the earth cooled down, waterbegan to appear on its surface.Water had also appeared on other planets like Mars but,unlike the earth, it had disappeared later. It was notimmediately obvious that water was to be fundamental to the development of life. What many scientists believe is that thecontinued presence of water allowed the earth to dissolveharmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas. Thisproduced a chain reaction, which made it possible for life todevelop.Many millions of years later, the first extremely smallplants began to appear on the surface of the water. Theymultiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen, which encouraged the later development of early shellfish and allsorts of fish. Next, green plants began to grow on land. Theywere followed in time by land animals. Some were insects.Others, called amphibians, were able to live on land as wellas in the water. Later when the plants grew into forests,reptiles appeared for the first time. They produced young generally by laying eggs. After that, some huge animals,called dinosaurs, developed. They laid eggs too and existedon the earth for more than 140 million years. However, 65 million years ago the age of the dinosaurs ended. Why they suddenly disappeared still remains a mystery. This disappearance made possible the rise of mammals on the earth. These animals were different from all life forms in the past, because they gave birth to young baby animals and produced milk to feed them.Finally about 2.6 million years ago some small clever animals, now with hands and feet, appeared and spread all over the earth. Thus they have, in their turn, become the most important animals on the planet. But they are not lookingafter the earth very well. They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevents heat from escaping from the earth into space. As a result of this, many scientists believe the earth may become too hot to live on.So whether life will continue on the earth for millions ofyears to come will depend on whether this problem can be solved.A VISIT TO THE MOONLast month I was lucky enough to have a chance to make a trip into space with my friend Li Yanping, an astronomer. We visited the moon in our spaceship!Before we left, Li Yanping explained to me that the force of gravity would change three times on our journey and that thefirst change would be the most powerful. Then we were off. Asthe rocket rose into the air, we were pushed back into ourseats because we were trying to escape the pull of theearth’s gravity. It was so hard that we could not sayanything to each other. Gradually the weight lessened and Iwas able to talk to him. “Why is the spaceship not fallingback to the earth? On the earth if I fall from a tree I willfall to the ground.” I asked. “We are too far from theearth now to feel its pull,” he explained, “so we feel asif no gravity at all. When we get closer to the moon, weshall feel its gravity pulling us, but it will not be asstrong a pull as the earth’s.” I cheered up immediately and floated weightlessly around in our spaceship cabin watchingthe earth become smaller and the moon larger.When we got there, I wanted to explore immediately. “Come on,” I said. “If you are right, my weight will be less thanon the earth because the moon is smaller and I will be ableto move more freely. I might even grow taller if I stay herelong enough. I shall certainly weigh less!” I laughed and climbed down the steps from the spaceship. But when I triedto step forward. I found I was carried twice as far as on theearth and fell over. “Oh dear,” I cried, “walking doesneed a bit of practice now that gravity has changed.” Aftera while I got the hang of it and we began to enjoy ourselves.Leaving the moon’s gravity was not as painful as leaving theearth’s. But returning to the earth was very frightening. W e watched, amazed as fire broke out on the outside of thespaceship as the earth’s gravity increased. Again we werepushed hard into our seats as we came back to land. “That was very exhausting but very exciting too,” I said. “Now Iknow much more about gravity! Do you think we could visitsome stars next time?”“Of course,” he smiled, “which star would you like to go to?”。
