How can I get information on space travel?Tony: You can go online to search for information.Daming: I will. Thank you, Tony!Unit 2 We have not found life on any other planets yet.2 Read the passage and choose the best title for it.1 Anyone out there?2 Life on earth3 The sun and the stars4 The stars at night__________________Scientists think that there has been life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet of Mars to take photos. They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy.Scientists have always asked the questions: with so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? Why has no one communicated with us? We do not know the answers…yet.Module 4Unit 1 I haven't done much exercise since I got my computer.3 Listen and read.Doctor:How can I help you?Darning: I feel ill.

That's why you've got a stomachache.Darning: What about the headache?Doctor: Do you do any exercise?Darning:Not really. I haven't done much exercise since I got my compute last year.Doctor: You spend too much time in front of the computer. It can be very harmful to your health.Darning: OK, so what should I do?Doctor: Well, don't worry. It's no serious. First, stop eating fast food and have breakfast ever day. Second, get some exercise such as running. And I'll give you some medicine. Take it three times a day.Darning:Thank you, doctor.Unit 2 We have played football for a year now.2 Read the passage and match the people with the pictures in Activity 1.Healthy living1I was not feeling very well so the doctor checked my heart and said I needed more exercise, I have never been very active, andI do not like sports. I have always wanted a pet, so my parents gave me a dog for my birthday. Now I get exercise by takinghim for a walk every day. I have had him for three months now and I feel really healthy. —Anna2Our teacher decided to start a girls' football team and I thought: “What a great idea!”I was the first member of the team. We have played football for a year now and we all feel very fit. Our teacher is the coach, and she also takes part in the sametraining with us. She is in excellent condition too. —Wang Wei3In the last few years, I went to work by underground. When I got to work, I always felt very sleepy and I was not happy. I bought a bike in January. Since then, it has become part of my life. Now I ride to work every day. It is my daily exercise. Iarrive at work with a smile on my face. —Thomas4Feeling weak after a long illness, I wanted to exercise more. Then a friend suggested, “Why don't we go for a run before school?”So we started running a week ago. But I do not enjoy running, and when I get to school, I feel awful. My legs hurt Richard—and I am hot all over. Perhaps I am too weak to do any exercise. What do you think?Module 5Unit 1 It's time to watch a cartoon.3 Listen and read.Tony: Daming, we've finished our homework. It's time to watch a cartoon.Daming: Good idea, Tony. Let's watch Superman!Tony: We watched Superman yesterday. Why don't we watch Spiderman? It's more modern.Daming: I think Superman is better. He's stronger than Spiderman.

As well as the usual activities such as sailing and climbing, there was writing class. “The teacher was writer, and she asked us to talk about our lives and tell interesting stories. Then she encouraged us to write about experiences at the camp.”Back at school, David wrote a story about the life of a sixteen-year-old boy, and it came out as a book in 2012. Many young people love his book, and as result, David has become a successful young writer.David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him pleasure and success.

P663 Read the email and check your answers to Activity 2.FROM: BettyTO: Mum and DadSUBJECT: Wonderful time in ZhangjiajieDear Mum and Dad,I promised to write, so…We're staying with Lingling's uncle in Hunan Province, and I'm having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It's a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It's very large, about 480 square kilometres. It's famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard some noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling's uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path, along a river, past trees and s uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off'other plants and back to the camp, I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Linglingplants and that we should protect everything here.

We got separated when we went to different schools last term, but westayed in touch.Helpline: So could you explain what happened then?Lingling: This term, she came to study at my school. I was so happy at first. But she's so different.Helpline: Can you tell me how she's different?Lingling: She doesn't like me to see my other friends.Helpline: Could I ask if you've mentioned this to her?Lingling: Yes, but she refused to listen.Helpline: OK. Do you know why she treats you like that?Lingling: No, I don't know.Helpline: Maybe she doesn't feel very sure of herself in her new school.Lingling: Maybe.Helpline: She probably feels lonely without you. I'm sure she regrets hurting you. So be patient with her and explain to her that she can make friends with your other friends too. Try to introduce her to them.Lingling: I see. I'll encourage her to join in more. Thanks.Helpline: No problem, Lingling. You're welcome!Unit 2 I believe that the world is what you think it is. 742 Read the passage and look at the photo. Decide who is in the photo.A beautiful smileWhen I was thirteen years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I could not talk to anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to worry about me.One day, my classmates were talk with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like a hidden treasure.That smile changed my life. I started talk with the other students. Day by day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has become my best friend now, and we stick together like glue.One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember!Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. My suggestion is: smile at the world and it will smile back.Module 10Unit 1 I hope that you can join us one day. 803 Listen and read.Chen Huan: Hi, everybody. I'm the news director at Radio Beijing.Lingling: Thank you for showing us around.Chen Huan: No problem! Now, come this way. Look at the red light. When it's on, it means we're on air. And we should avoid making any noise in the background!Tony: OK.Chen Huan: This is the newsroom. We collect the latest national and international news and write reports here. It gets crazy in here just before the programme begins.Lingling: How can I become a presenter?Chen Huan: I think you need to speak English really well. So keep studying, and I hope that you can join us one day.Tony: What about the sports news?Chen Huan: That's over there. And it is where we do interviews with big stars of sports. Let's watch the presenter. Remember, I said you need to keep quiet if the red light is on.Presenter: Finally, we've just heard that Germany has won the football match, 2-1 against England.Lingling:Hey! That's great news!Tony:No, it's awful news!All: Ssh!Presenter:…And that's the end of the six o'clock news.Unit 2 It seemed that they were speaking to me in person. p822 Read the passage and decide where you are likely to see the photo.Radio times“How old are you? The radio manager looked down at me.“Fifteen,”I said.“And you want a job in radio? Shouldn't you be at school?”he asked.How could I explain? I have always loved the radio. I still remember, when I was four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part-time jobs in small radio stations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father's computer, talked about life at school, and hoped someone might be listening.Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared a programme once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window). “OK, come with me,”the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room, behind a glass wall.“OK, let's do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.”All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. The purpose is to check the sound level.“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”“OK, that's great!”the man behind the glass said.This was how my first real job in radio began.。

Scientists have sent a spaceship to Mars. The journey has taken several months.Daming: Has it arrived yet?Tony: Yes, it has arrived already. That’s why it’s on the news.Daming: So have they discovered life on Mars?Tony: No, they haven’t yet.Daming: Are there any astronauts in the spaceship?Tony: No, there aren’t.Daming: Why? Astronauts have already been to the moon.Tony: Yes, but no one has been to Mars yet, because Mars is very far away, much farther than the moon. Lots of scientists are working hard in order to send astronauts to Mars one day.Daming: That’s interesting! How can I get information on space travel?Tony: You can go online to search for information.Daming: I will. Thank you, Tony!Unit 2 We have not found life on any other planets yet.2 Read the passage and choose the best title for it.1 Anyone out there?2 Life on earth3 The sun and the stars4 The stars at night__________________Scientists think that there has been life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine. Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet of Mars to take photos. They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy.Scientists have always asked the questions: wit h so ma ny stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? Why has no one communicated with us? We do not know the answers…yet.Module 4Unit 1 I haven’t done much exercise since I got my computer.3 Listen and read.Doctor:How can I help you?Darning: I feel ill.

I have always wanted a pet, so my parents gave me a dog for my birthday. Now I get exercise by taking him for a walk every day. I have had him for three months now and I feel really healthy. — Anna2Our teacher decided to start a girls’ football team and I thought: “What a great idea!〞I was the first member of the team. We have played football for a year now and we all feel very fit. Our teacher is the coach, and she also takes part in the same training with us. She is in excellent condition too. — Wang Wei3In the last few years, I went to work by underground. When I got to work, I always felt very sleepy and I was not happy. I bought a bike in January. Since then, it has become part of my life. Now I ride to work every day. It is my daily exercise. I arrive at work with a smile on my face. — Thomas4Feeling weak after a long illness, I wanted to exercise more. Then a friend suggested, “Why don’t we go for a run before school?〞So we started running a week ago. But I do not enjoy running, and when I get to school, I feel awful. My legs hurt and I am hot all over. Perhaps I am too weak to do any exercise. What doyou think? — RichardModule 5Unit 1 It’s time to watch a cartoon.3 Listen and read.Tony: Daming, we’ve finished our homework. It’s time to watch a cartoon.Daming: Good idea, Tony. Let’s watch Superman!Tony: We watched Superman yesterday. Why don’t we watch Spiderman? It’s more modern.Daming: I think Superman is better. He’s stronger than Spiderman. He can fly through the sky and fight bad people.Tony: Spiderman can’t fly, but he climbs up buildings with his hands and feet. That’s cool. I want to be someone like him.Daming: Well, Superman is brave. He keeps fighting bad people. That’s a real hero!Tony: I don’t think we agree.Daming: All right. Let’s watch Tom and Jerry then.Tony: Yeah! I like humorous cartoons. Tom and Jerry are very funny. I can’t help laughing when I watch them!Daming: Yes, Jerry is too smart for Tom.Tony: The cute mouse always beats the cat! They fight a lot, but they really love each other. Sometimes they protect each other and work together. I think there’s a lesson there!Unit 2 Monkey King has just had his 50th birthday.2 Read the passage and choose a sentence that best summarises it.Cartoon heroesNemo is a cute orange-and-white fish and Shrek is an ugly green man.

Some hobbies are relaxing and others are active. Hobbies can make you grow as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills.David Smith is a student, and one of his hobbies is writing. During the summer of 2021, he spent four weeks at a summer camp. As well as the usual activities such as sailing and climbing, there was writing class. “The teacher was writer, and she asked us to talk about our lives and tell interesting stories. Then she encouraged us to write about experiences at the camp.〞Back at school, David wrote a story about the life of a sixteen-year-old boy, and it came out as a book in 2021. Many young people love his book, and as result, David has become a successful young writer.David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him pleasure and success. But writing is not his only hobby. He is also interested in many other things. “I like playing volleyball too,〞says David. “I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe I’ll write about my volleyball team in my future books.〞Module 7Unit 1 Please write to me and send me some photos! p562 Listen and read.(Lingling is preparing for her trip to LA.)Lingling: Hi, Betty.

I’ll buy a pair there.Betty: That’s a good idea. But remember, many things are more expensive in America. Have you got any American dollars?Lingling: Yes. Is 200 dollars enough?Betty: If you’ve already paid for the air tickets and for homestay, it should be OK.Lingling: What else?Betty: Your bag mustn’t weigh too much. You’d better ask the travel company about the total weight for all your bags. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to take your passport.Lingling: OK. Thank you.Betty: You’re welcome. You’ll have a great time. Please write to me and send me some photos!Lingling: Yes, I will!Unit 2 Fill our form and come to learn English in Los Angeles! p582 Read the passage and choose the best answer.Learn English in Los Angeles1Come to learn English in Los Angeles!

Welcome to Beihai Park,Tony: Wow! It’s so quiet here that I can even hear the birds singing! I can hardly believe we’re in the city centre.Lingling: This park is famous for its lake, the bridges and the ancient buildings on the hill. The lake takes up over half of the park area. Let’s walk along the lake, cross the bridge and climb up the hill. Then I can point out the sights of Beijing for you.Tony: Yes, good idea. I’m sure it’ll be fantastic to see the city from the top.Daming: But I’m so tired, and it’s so hot here. I don’t want to climb. The lake looks nice and cool. Why don’t we go for a swim?Lingling: I don’t think they allow people to swim in the lake. It’s dangerous.Daming: That’s too bad. Then why don’t we have our picnic here? I’m so hungry and thirsty.Lingling: I think it’s better to have our picnic at the top of the hill.Tony: Come on! Let’s not waste any more time.Daming: All right. I hope it will be cooler up there.Unit 2 We thought somebody was moving about. P663 Read the email and check your answers to Activity 2.FROM: BettyTO: Mum and DadSUBJECT: Wonderful time in ZhangjiajieDear Mum and Dad,I promised to write, so…We’re staying with Lingling’s uncle in Hunan Province, and I’m having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It’s a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It’s very large, about 480 square kilometres. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard some noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling’s uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp, I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling’s uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.Tomorrow we’re going to Dong ting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in China. We’ll be back home next week! Wish you were here!Love,BettyModule 9Unit 1 Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to her? 723 Listen and read.Helpline: Hello, Friendship Helpline. Who’s calling, please?Lingling: Hello. This is Lingling speaking.Helpline: Hi, Lingling! How can I help you?Lingling: I have a problem with my best friend. She’s called…Helpline: No, don’t tell me who she is. Tell me when the problem startedLingling: Yes. Well. We’ve been friends for five years. We got separated when we went to different schools last term, but we stayed in touch.Helpline: So could you explain what happened then?Lingling: This term, she came to study at my school. I was so happy at first. But she’s so different. Helpline: Can you tell me how she’s different?Lingling: She doesn’t like me to see my other friends.Helpline: Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to her?Lingling: Yes, but she refused to listen.Helpline: OK. Do you know why she treats you like that?Lingling: No, I don’t know.Helpline: Maybe she doesn’t feel very sure of herself in her new school.Lingling: Maybe.Helpline: She probably feels lonely without you. I’m sure she regrets hurting you. So be patient with her and explain to her that she can make friends with your other friends too. Try to introduce her to them. Lingling: I see. I’ll encourage her to join in more. Thanks.Helpline: No problem, Lingling. You’re welcome!Unit 2 I believe that the world is what you think it is. 742 Read the passage and look at the photo. Decide who is in the photo.A beautiful smileWhen I was thirteen years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I could not talk to anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to worry about me.One day, my classmates were talk with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like a hidden treasure.That smile changed my life. I started talk with the other students. Day by day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has become my best friend now, and we stick together like glue.One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember!Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone.My suggestion is: smile at the world and it will smile back.Module 10Unit 1 I hope that you can join us one day. 803 Listen and read.Chen Huan: Hi, everybody. I’m the news director at Radio Beijing.Lingling: Thank you for showing us around.Chen Huan: No problem! Now, come this way. Look at the red light. When it’s on, it means we’re on air. And we should avoid making any noise in the background!Tony: OK.Chen Huan: This is the newsroom. We collect the latest national and international news and write reports here. It gets crazy in here just before the programme begins.Lingling: How can I become a presenter?Chen Huan: I think you need to speak English really well. So keep studying, and I hope that you can join us one day.Tony: What about the sports news?Chen Huan: That’s over there. And it is where we do interviews with big stars of sports. Let’s watch the presenter. Remember, I said you need to keep quiet if the red light is on.Presenter: Finally, we’ve just heard that Germany has won the football match, 2-1 against England. Lingling:Hey! That’s great news!Tony:No, it’s awful news!All: Ssh!Presenter:…And that’s the end of the six o’clock news.Unit 2 It seemed that they were speaking to me in person. p822 Read the passage and decide where you are likely to see the photo.Radio times“How old are you? The radio manager looked down at me.“Fifteen,〞I said.“And you want a job in radio? Shouldn’t you be at school?〞he asked.How could I explain? I have always loved the radio. I still remember, when I was four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part-time jobs in small radio stations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father’s computer, talked about life at school, and hoped someone might be listening.Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared a programme once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).“OK, come with me,〞the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room, behind a glass wall.“OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.〞All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. The purpose is to check the sound level.“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.〞“OK, that’s great!〞the man behind the glass said. This was how my first real job in radio began.。

Thank you, Tony!Unit 2 We have not found life on any other planets yet.2 Read the passage and choose the best title for it.1 Anyone out there?2 Life on earth3 The sun and the stars4 The stars at night__________________Scientists think that there has been life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet of Mars to take photos. They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy.Scientists have always asked the questions: with so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? Why has no one communicated with us? We do not know the answers…yet.Unit 1 I haven’t done much exercise since I got my computer.3 Listen and read.Doctor:How can I help you?Darning: I feel ill.

Darning: Usually fast food.Doctor:Do you have breakfast?Darning: No, not usually.Doctor: That’s the problem! Fast food and no breakfast. That’s why you’ve got a stomachache. Darning: What about the headache?Doctor: Do you do any exercise?Darning:Not really. I haven’t done much exercise since I got my compute last year.Doctor: You spend too much time in front of the computer. It can be very harmful to your health. Darning: OK, so what should I do?Doctor: Well, don’t worry. It’s no serious. First, stop eating fast food and have breakfast ever day. Second, get some exercise such as running. And I’ll give you some medicine. Take it three times a day.Darning:Thank you, doctor.Unit 2 We have played football for a year now.2 Read the passage and match the people with the pictures in Activity 1.Healthy living1I was not feeling very well so the doctor checked my heart and said I needed more exercise, I have never been very active, and I do not like sports. I have always wanted a pet, so my parents gave me a dog for my birthday. Now I get exercise by taking him for a walk every day. I have had him for three months now and I feel really healthy. — Anna2Our teacher decided to start a girls’ football team and I thought: “What a great idea!” I was the first member of the team.

She is in excellent condition too. — Wang Wei3In the last few years, I went to work by underground. When I got to work, I always felt very sleepy and I was not happy. I bought a bike in January.

I arrive at work with a smile on my face. —Thomas4Feeling weak after a long illness, I wanted to exercise more. Then a friend suggested, “Why don’t we go for a run before school?” So we started running a week ago. But I do not enjoy running,and when I get to school, I feel awful. My legs hurt and I am hot all over. Perhaps I am too weak to do any exercise. What do you think? — Richard。

Some hobbies are relaxing and others are active. Hobbies can make you grow as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills.David Smith is a student, and one of his hobbies is writing. During the summer of 2010, he spent four weeks at a summer camp. As well as the usual activities such as sailing and climbing, there was writing class. “The teacher was writer, and she asked us to talk about our lives and tell interesting stories. Then she encouraged us to write about experiences at the camp.”Back at school, David wrote a story about the life of a sixteen-year-old boy, and it came out as a book in 2012. Many young people love his book, and as result, David has become a successful young writer.David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him pleasure and success. But writing is not his only hobby. He is also interested in many other things. “I like playing volleyball too,” says David. “I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe I’ll write about my volleyball team in my future books.”Module 7Unit 1 Please write to me and send me some photos!Lingling: Hi, Betty. I’m making a list of things for my trip.

It’s so quiet here that I can even hear the birds singing! I can hardly believe we’re in the city centre.Lingling: This park is famous for its lake, the bridges and the ancient buildings on the hill. The lake takes up over half of the park area. Let’s walk along the lake, cross the bridge and climb up the hill. Then I can point out the sights of Beijing for you.Tony: Yes, good idea. I’m sure it’ll be fantastic to see the city from the top.Daming: But I’m so tired, and it’s so hot here. I don’t want to climb. The lake looks nice and cool. Why don’t we go for a swim?Lingling: I don’t think they allow people to swim in the lake. It’s dangerous.Daming: That’s too bad. Then why don’t we have our picnic here? I’m so hungry and thirsty.Lingling: I think it’s better to have our picnic at the top of the hill.Tony: Come on! Let’s not waste any more time.Daming: All right. I hope it will be cooler up there.Unit 2 We thought somebody was moving about.FROM: BettyTO: Mum and DadSUBJECT: Wonderful time in ZhangjiajieDear Mum and Dad,I promised to write, so…We’re staying with Lingling’s uncle in Hunan Province, and I’m having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It’s a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It’s very large, about 480 square kilometres. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard some noise! It wokeeverybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling’s uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp, I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling’s uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.Tomorrow we’re going to Dong ting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in China. We’ll be back home next week! Wish you were here!Love,BettyModule 9Unit 1 Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to her?Helpline: Hello, Friendship Helpline. Who’s calling, please?Lingling: Hello. This is Lingling speaking.Helpline: Hi, Lingling! How can I help you?Lingling: I have a problem with my best friend. She’s called…Helpline: No, don’t tell me who she is. Tell me when the problem startedLingling: Yes. Well. We’ve been friends for five years. We got separated when we went to different schools last term, but we stayed in touch.Helpline: So could you explain what happened then?Lingling: This term, she came to study at my school. I was so happy at first. But she’s so different.Helpline: Can you tell me how she’s different?Lingling: She doesn’t like me to see my other friends.Helpline: Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to her?Lingling: Yes, but she refused to listen.Helpline: OK. Do you know why she treats you like that?Lingling: No, I don’t know.Helpline: Maybe she doesn’t feel very sure of herself in her new school.Lingling: Maybe.Helpline: She probably feels lonely without you. I’m sure she regrets hurting you. So be patient with her and explain to her that she can make friends with your other friends too. Try to introduce her to them.Lingling: I see. I’ll encourage her to join in more. Thanks.Helpline: No problem, Lingling. You’re welcome!Unit 2 I believe that the world is what you think it is.A beautiful smileWhen I was thirteen years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely.I could not talk to anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to worry about me.One day, my classmates were talk with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like a hidden treasure.That smile changed my life. I started talk with the other students. Day by day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has become my best friend now, and we stick together like glue.One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember!Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. My suggestion is: smile at the world and it will smileback.Module 10Chen Huan: Hi, everybody. I’m the news director at Radio Beijing.Lingling: Thank you for showing us around.Chen Huan: No problem! Now, come this way. Look at the red light. When it’s on, it means we’re on air. And we should avoid making any noise in the background!Tony: OK.Chen Huan: This is the newsroom. We collect the latest national and international news and write reports here. It gets crazy in here just before the programme begins.Lingling: How can I become a presenter?Chen Huan: I think you need to speak English really well. So keep studying, and I hope that you can join us one day.Tony: What about the sports news?Chen Huan: That’s over there. And it is where we do interviews with big stars of sports. Let’s watch the presenter. Remember, I said you need to keep quiet if the red light is on.Presenter: Finally, we’ve just heard that Germany has won the football match, 2-1 against England.Lingling: Hey! That’s great news!Tony: No, it’s awful news!All: Ssh!Presenter:…And that’s the end of the six o’clock news.“How old are you? The radio manager looked down at me.“Fifteen,” I said.“And you want a job in radio? Shouldn’t you be at school?” he asked.How could I explain? I have always loved the radio. I still remember, when I was four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they werespeaking not to lots of listeners but to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part-time jobs in small radio stations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father’s computer, talked about life at school, and hoped someone might be listening.Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared a programme once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).“OK, come with me,” the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room, behind a glass wall.“OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.”All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. The purpose is to check the sound level.“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”“OK, that’s great!” the man behind the glass said.This was how my first real job in radio began.。

八年级外研版英语周报三十八期电子版Farming was considered part of the rural charm in the past. But now, farms have come to the concrete jungle and they can even be found high up on balconies.According to a recent report released by Chinese e-commerce platform Alibaba, the sales of vegetable seeds in the first quarter on Tmall doubled compared with the same period last year. Sales of products such as nutrient soil and gardening tools have tripled since April of last year. Out of all the people buying farming tools and seeds, most were born after 1995.Zhang Chao, 17, from Anhui province, is one young “urban farmer”. The senior high student said his fondness for planting was formed in primary school when he lived with his grandpa in the countryside.“Spending his whole life as a farmer, my grandpa likes to plant seasonal vegetables in our backyard garden when he was older,” Zhang said. “Inspired by his passion, I also learned to grow my own vegeta bles.”Though farming is a labor-intensive process including ploughing, fertilizing and watering, Zhang said he still had a sense of achievement when he saw seeds gradually turn into seedlings and later plants.“It has brought me good memories,” added Zhan g.Although Zhang recently moved to a place without a yard, he continues his hobby with a balcony garden. He has since bought strawberry and tomato seeds.“Growing fruits and vegetables not only brings delicious food and enhances food security, but it also reminds me of the happy times with my grandpa,” said Zhang.Unlike Zhang, Fang Minke from Shenzhen Foreign Languages School considers planting a garden a good way to relax and develop patience.Juggling many academic responsibilities, the 16-year-old girl sometimes feels frustrated.“How much I longed for a splash of color in my fast-paced life!” said Fang.To help put some spark back in her life, she started planting vegetables on her balcony in 2021. Most of the seeds weregiven by her friends. Fang doesn’t always know which plant seeds are from, so she just plants them and waits patiently. After half a year, her balcony has become a “small garden”, including different flowers and herbs, like coriander.After she spends long hours on homework, she likes to walk around her balcony garden. “Seeing the various colors and breathing fresh air, I feel closer to nature and refreshed,” Fang said. “The vegetables and herbs may not be staple foods on our table, but they will surely add a touch of flavor to our dishes and spice up our busy days.”Planting vegetables is now more than just a way to survive. It also brings joy and purpose to young people’s lives.。

However, we have not found life on any other planets yet.The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet of Mars to take photos. They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy. Scientists have always asked the questions: with so many s tars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? Why has no one communicated with us? We do not know the answ ers…yet.Module 4Unit 1 I haven’t done much exercise since I got my computer.3 Listen and read.Doctor: How can I help you?Darning: I feel ill.

I have had him for three months now and I feel really healthy. —Anna2Our teacher decided to start a girls’ football team and I thought: “What a great idea!” I was the first member of the team.

During the summer of 2010, he spent four weeks at a summer camp. As well as the usual activities such as sailing and climbing, there was writing class. “The teacher was writer, and she asked us to talk about our lives and tell interesting stories. Then she encouraged us to write about experiences at the camp.”Back at school, David wrote a story about the life of a sixteen-year-old boy, and it came out as a book in 2012. Many young people love his book, and as result, David has become a successful young writer.David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him pleasure and success. But writing is not his only hobby. He is also interested in many other things. “I like playing volleyball too,” says David. “I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team.

I hope it will be cooler up there.Unit 2 We thought somebody was moving about. P663 Read the email and check your answers to Activity 2.FROM: BettyTO: Mum and DadSUBJECT: Wonderful time in ZhangjiajieDear Mum and Dad,I promised to write, so…We’re staying with Lingling’s uncle in Hunan Province, and I’m having a wonderful time here in Zhangjiajie. It’s a magic land of mountains, forests and rivers. It’s very large, about 480 square kilometres. It’s famous for the strange shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like humans while others look like wild animals.Last night we camped by a small lake. During the night, we heard some noise! It woke everybody up. We thought somebody was moving about. Lingling’s uncle said it was an animal. We came out without making any noise, and found it was just a hungry monkey looking for food.This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But it was a pity that it was cloudy. We could only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then we walked down the path, along a river, past trees and other plants and back to the camp, I pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling’s uncle said that it was wrong to pull leaves off plants and that we should protect everything here. I was very sorry.Tomorrow we’re going to Dong ting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in China. We’ll be back home next week! Wish you were here!Love,BettyModule 9Unit 1 Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to her? 723 Listen and read.Helpline: Hello, Friendship Helpline. Who’s calling, please?Lingling: Hello. This is Lingling speaking.Helpline: Hi, Lingling! How can I help you?Lingling: I have a problem with my best friend. She’s called…Helpline: No, don’t tell me who she is. Tell me when the problem startedLingling: Yes. Well. We’ve been friends for five years. We got separated when we went to different schools last term, but we stayed in touch.Helpline: So could you explain what happened then?Lingling: This term, she came to study at my school. I was so happy at first. But she’s so different.Helpline: Can you tell me how she’s different?Lingling: She doesn’t like me to se e my other friends.Helpline: Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to her?Lingling: Yes, but she refused to listen.Helpline: OK. Do you know why she treats you like that?Lingling: No, I don’t know.Helpline: Maybe she doesn’t feel very sure of herself i n her new school.Lingling: Maybe.Helpline: She probably feels lonely without you. I’m sure she regrets hurting you. So be patient with her and explain to her that she can make friends with your other friends too. Try to introduce her to them.Lingling: I see. I’ll encourage her to join in more. Thanks.Helpline: No problem, Lingling. You’re welcome!Unit 2 I believe that the world is what you think it is. 742 Read the passage and look at the photo. Decide who is in the photo.A beautiful smileWhen I was thirteen years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I could not talk to anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to worry about me.One day, my classmates were talk with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl entered the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She looked at me and, without a word, smiled.Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. It was like a hidden treasure.That smile changed my life. I started talk with the other students. Day by day, I learnt to trust people, and they included me in their circle of friends. The girl with the bright smile has become my best friend now, and we stick together like glue.One day, I asked her why she smiled at me that day. She said she could not remember!Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. Mysuggestion is: smile at the world and it will smile back.Module 10Unit 1 I hope that you can join us one day. 803 Listen and read.Chen Huan: Hi, everybody. I’m the news director at Radio Beijing.Lingling: Thank you for showing us around.Chen Huan: No problem! Now, come this way. Look at the red light. When it’s on, it means we’re on air. And we should avoid making any noise in the background!Tony: OK.Chen Huan: This is the newsroom. We collect the latest national and international news and write reports here. It gets crazy in here just before the programme begins.Lingling: How can I become a presenter?Chen Huan: I think you need to speak English really well. So keep studying, and I hope that you can join us one day.Tony: What about the sports news?Chen Huan: That’s over there. And it is where we do interviews with big stars of sports. Let’s watch the presenter. Remember, I said you need to keep quiet if the red light is on.Presenter: Finally, we’ve just heard that Germany has won the football match, 2-1 against England.Lingling: Hey! That’s great news!Tony: No, it’s awful news!All: Ssh!Presenter:…And that’s the end of the six o’clock news.Unit 2 It seemed that they were speaking to me in person. p822 Read the passage and decide where you are likely to see the photo.Radio times“How old are you? The radio manager looked down at me.“Fifteen,” I said.“And you want a job in radio? Shouldn’t you be at school?” he asked.How could I explain? I have always loved the radio. I still remember, when I was four years old, I sat close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of listeners but to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for part-time jobs in small radio stations.As I grew older, my interest in radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father’s computer, talked about lif e at school, and hoped someone might be listening. Soon my friends at school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared a programme once a week, doing research on articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).“OK, come with me,” the manager said. I sat down in the studio. He was in another room, behind a glass wall. “OK, let’s do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.”All radio presenters need to answer the same question before they begin work. The purpose is to check the sound level.“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”“OK, that’s great!” the man behind the glass said.This was how my first real job in radio began.。
