M1U1 school life in the UK
Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and experience for me .I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m.and ends about 3.30 p.m.This means I could get up an hour later than usual ,as schools in China begin before 8 a.m.
On the first day ,all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall .I sat next to a girl whose name was Diana .We soon became best friends. During the assembly ,the headmaster told us about the rules of the school . He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades . This sounded like my school in China .
I had many teachers in the past year . Mr Heywood , my class teacher , was very helpful .My favourite teacher was Miss Burke--I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature .In our class there were 28 students .This is about the average size for British schools . We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes , so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.
I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school . However , it was a bit challenging for me at first , because all the homework was in English . I felt lucky , as all my teachers gave me much enjoyment and I enjoyed all my subjects: English , History , English Literature, Computer Science , Maths , Science , PE ,Art , Cooking and French.
My English improved a lot , as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library . I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break , so I could send e-mails to my family and friends back home for free. I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings .Cooking was really fun as I learnt how to buy ,prepare and cook food .At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something .I was glad that all my classmates were fond of the cake that I made .
Students at that school have to study Maths , English and Science , but can stop studying some subjects if they do not like them , for example , History and French . They can choose other subjects like Art and Computer Science, or languages such as Spanish and German. Though it did not look very beautiful when it was finished , I still liked it very much .
I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch .British food is very different . British people like eating dessert at the end of their main meal . After lunch , we usually played on the school field . Sometimes I played football with the boys . Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.
I was very lucky to experience this different way of life .I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction , and I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again .
M1U2 Home Alone
Act one
Mom and Dad arrive back from vacation a day earlier than expected. The curtains are closed and the living room is dark when Mom and Dad enter.
Dad: It’s so nic e to be home!
Mom: Yes, I can’t wait to surprise the boys!
Suddenly a door opens and a soccer ball flies through the room. Eric runs in after it, followed by a big dog, walking very slowly.
Eric: Mom! Dad! You’re back early! (looking around room, sounding frightened) But, but--- you weren’t supposed to come home until tomorrow!
The dog slowly walks to Mom and Dad.
Mom: (bending to touch dog) Eric, he’s so tired and hungry! (looking at table) The money with which you were to buy dog food is gone, but Spot looks so hungry! What did you do with the money we left?
Dad: And look at the room --- garbage all over the place! Where is your brother? (shouting angrily) Daniel!
Daniel: (running into room) Mom, Dad, I can explain---
Dad opens the curtains and light comes into the room. The room is in a mess, with pizza boxes on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink. In the corner, there is a garbage can around which are pieces of garbage and waste paper.
Mom and Dad both turn towards Daniel.
Dad: (sounding very angry) Listen to me, young man---- we left you in charge! We thought you could act like an adult, but look at the mess. I don’t know why the house is so dirty---
Mom: Daniel, we thought you were an adult, a person who would make good decisions…….
Dad: How can we trust you any more? We won’t tolerate such behavior in our house!
Daniel: ( shouting) Stop shouting at me. I’m still a teenager! Why is everything always my fault?
Daniel runs into his bedroom and shuts the door angrily. Mom and Dad look at each other as lights go out.
Act two, scene one
Daniel and Eric’s bedroom. Eric sits on his bed. Daniel has his arms crossed and looks upset.
Daniel: They never even gave me a chance to defend myself. I hate them!
Eric: You don’t hate them. I can tell them we had an emergency. Then they won’t be mad anymore.
Daniel: No, don’t tell them anything. Anyhow,they didn’t trust me. They don’t deserve an explanation . Let them think what they want.
Eric: But Daniel, if they knew that Spot was sick and we used the money to take him to the clinic---
Daniel: And that we spent all of yesterday waiting there for him and that is why we had no time to clean the house --- but no Eric, why didn’t they ask me what happened instead of shouting at me?
Act two, scene two
Mom: Do you think we were too hard on Daniel? Perhaps there’s a reason why the house is a mess…..
Dad: Maybe, but now that he has been so rude to us, I feel like we have to punish him or he won’t respect us.
Mom: Oh, why does this have to be so difficult?
Mom sighs.
End of act two.
M1U3 Dying to be thin...
Hi Zhou Ling
How are you? I haven’t heard from you for weeks. Is everything OK with you?
Do you still go to the gym every day? I used to go to the gym three times a week, but I don’t work out any more. I know another way to stay slim. Looking good is important to women, isn’t it? Most young women want a slim figure these days, especially here in Canada. I’m trying to lose weight because I’m so ashamed of my body. Since I’m preparing to act in a new TV show, I’m taking weight-loss pills called Fat-Less, which are quite popular among young women here. I hope to lose at least 10 kilograms. I take two pills a day and don’t need to exercise.
The pills really work! I’m becoming slimmer and slimmer. I’ve lost 7 kilograms in the last two months. However, sometimes I don’t feel so energetic. My mother, who you met last year, keeps telling me not to take them because they are dangerous. She says health is the most important thing, and I agree, but then I look so slim at the moment.
Write soon!
Love
Amy
Dear Zhou Ling
Things change so quickly! I’m now in hospital recovering from liver failure. I regret taking those weight-loss pills. They contain a harmful chemical that cause my liver to fail. The doctor told me that I would die if I couldn’t get a new liver. My mother is a match, but she is too old for such a long operation. I thought I was going to die.
Then the doctor found that someone in your country, whose name is Li Dong, was an exact match for me.. He donated more than half of his liver to save my life. I was very lucky, wasn’t I?
I’m feeling better now. I follow my doctor’s advice and exercise for at least half an hour every day, and eat lots of fruit and vegetables. People should look after their bodies. My mother is right: don’t damage your health for a slim and attractive figure. It isn’t worth it. We shouldn’t be ashamed of the way we look, should we?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Love,
Amy
Dear Amy
My computer was broken so I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today. I’m so sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering.
You’re right. We shouldn’t be embarrassed about our weight. I think you look g reat as you are, and you’re a wonderful person. I know that the pressure to stay slim is a problem, especially for an actress. However, your mother knows best: nothing is more important than health.
It’s the same in China—many people, some of whom are not overweight at all, are always going on a diet or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. I hope they can learn from your story.

M2U1 Boy missing,police puzzled Police in America have stepped up their search for a fifteen-year-old-boy ，who went missing two days ago in Dover,New Hampshire.People have shown great interest in his disappearance due to sightings of puzzling lights in the sky and reports of alien visit around the time of his disappearance.
Justin Foster,a high school student,went missing last Friday night.At first,Justin's mother,who went to sleep early that evening because of a headache,thought that the teenager was spending the night with a friend.Mr Foster,who was working that night,was surprised that his son did not tell anyone that he was staying out late.When Justin did not show up at the family lunch the next day,Mrs Foster became worried and told her husband to call the police.
However,police found that Justin did in fact return home on Friday night at about 11 p.m.That evening at 8 p.m. ,Justin left home to play baseball with two friends,who both say Justin went home after the game. Witnesses also say they saw Justin walking towards his home at 10.45 p.m.
Justin's sister,Kelly,says she heard her brother return home at about 11 p.m. 'I was getting ready for bed.'she said.'Justin went straight to his room.I didn't see him but I heard him putting on his favourite CD.That's when the lights came.' According to Kelly,a bright light then appeared according to her window. At first,the young girl thought it was the light of the full moon, but then she realized it was moving and coming closer.'I pulled back the curtains and saw a large spaceship flying outside.It had multi-coloured lights all around it and there were many windows.Standing inside were lots of white-skinned,strange-looking creatures with large black eyes. I was frightened.'Kelly said that the spaceship then moved around to the side of the house,towards her brother's bedroom. 'I heard Justin shout,and then the UFO just disappeared. I haven't seen Justin since. I am sure the aliens took him,but my parents said I was only dreaming.'
Some people in Dover also say that they have seen aliens.'It happened to me!' said Mavis Wood.'The aliens took me away so that they could do research on
me.Luckily, they returned me to my home. I think Justin was taken away by them too. They are interested in us. I still have nightmares about them. I haven't been sleeping well since I returned home. The whole experience was very frightening. I even get frightened when I hear a plane fly over.'
Police have not ruled out the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens, but are also looking into other possibilities.'Sometimes, people make up such amazing stories,'says Detective Sam Peterson, who has taken charge of the case.'So we've been looking at other possibilities too,such as murder. We will not give up until we find convincing evidence.
M2U2 An adventure in Africa
30 June
Dear Aihua
How are you? Sorry I haven’t written for so long. I’ve been quite busy arranging my holiday with my older brother, Colin. Colin and I plan to spend a few weeks travelling before he goes to university. We’re going to visit so many exciting places and do lots of extraordinary things. We will go to Africa first. I can’t wait! Have you ever been there?
We leave London on 15 July, and we’ll be taking a flight to Morocco, in northern Africa. We’re going to ride camels through the Sahara Desert. It’s the biggest desert in the world―about the size of the US! I expect it will be very hot, dry and dusty there. We’ll be travelling by camel with local guides, camping in tents and sleeping on the ground. I’ve heard that, in the Sahara, there is no shade during the day, and the stars seem especially brillian t on clear nights. I’ll bring a flashlight with me so that I’ll be able to see in the dark. Altogether, the trip will take six days. That means I’ll have to sit on a camel for almost a week―how uncomfortable! I hope my camel likes me!
After the trip by cam el, we’re going to travel down the River Nile. We’ll start at Lake Victoria. A little way down the river from Lake Victoria, the water gets quite rough. So, we’ll go white―water rafting. It’s quite dangerous, but very exciting! You have to wear a helmet and a life jacket for protection, just in case you fall into the water.
Then, we’re going on a trip to see wild animals in Kenya. We’ll live with the local people in their villages, and drink whatever they do, including cow’s blood! Do you think I should drink it?
Since we’ll be walking for almost two weeks, I’ll need to buy a large backpack
in advance to carry my supplies of food and water. During the day, we’ll walk across the land, following the tracks of wildlife such as elephants, lions and giraffes. We’ll try to get as close as possible to the animals, even though they’re dangerous, so that we can take some really good photographs. But don’t worry about me. Our guides
will have guns with them for defense―they can use the guns to scare the animals away if they come too near. I really want to see an elephant up close, and Colin wants to see a giraffe.
After that, we’ll be moving on to Tanzania, where we’re going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Mountain climbing can be very tiring, and many people feel sick as the atmosphere gets thinner, so Colin and I will make sure that we will get plenty of rest. The Africa part of our trip will take about four weeks. Afterwards, we’re going to the Himalayas.
I’ll send you postcards from all the different places we visit!
Love
Toby
M2U3 The Curse of the mummy Howard Carter is one of the most famous explorers the world has ever known. He was brave and adventurous. He loved to visit new places. During his lifetime, he discovered many amazing things.
Howard Carter did not go to school but was taught to draw by his father, who was an artist. He was bright and curious about the world outside his hometown. In 1891, at the age of 17, he set sail for Alexandria, Egypt. By the 1920s he had become an explorer searching for the tombs of the Egyptian kings. He found several important ones. Inside the tombs he found jewels, gold and the preserved bodies of dead kings. These preserved bodies are known as mummies.
In 1922, Howard Carter made his most amazing discovery of all, in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. He had received money from Lord Carnarvon, a British man who was very interested in Egypt. Carter’s team was working at a place near a city called Luxor. There, they found the tomb of King Tutankhamun. It was the most important tomb t hat had ever been found. ‘The tomb contained more riches, gold and jewels than any of us had ever seen before, as well as the mummy of the king,’ said Carter. ‘By the time we left, it was empty. We emptied the tomb of everything it contained━we were rich and famous right away.
However, not long after the tomb had been opened, people in Carter’s team began to fall ill and died strangely. Upon entering the tomb, Carter’s lucky pet bird, which had led him to the place, was eaten by a snake. Then, a few months after Carter had opened the tomb, Lord Carnarvon, who was also present when the tomb was opened, fell ill with a fever and died in Egypt. At the moment of Carnarnon’s death, the lights went out in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Back in England his dog died at the same time.
George Gould, a friend of Carnarvon, went to Egypt after hearing of his death. He too visited the tomb, and had a high fever the following day. Twelve hours later, he was dead. Carter’s secretary, Richard Bethell, died of heart trouble fo ur months after the tomb was opened. Arthur Mace, another member of the team, also died shortly after the discovery.
Within seven years, 21 people who had something to do with the opening of the tomb died. Howard Carter, however, lived on and died at the age of 65. Some people say the deaths were just coincidence. Others believe that they were the result of the mummy’s curse, which punishes those who enter the resting place of the dead.
However, still others believe that there is a scientific explanation. Inside the tombs, there are many viruses. When a tomb is opened, fresh air disturbs the viruses. If breathed in, they can result in illness or even death. Today, when scientists examine mummies, they wear special clothing to protect themselves.
What is cert ain, though, is that the mystery of Tutankhamun’s tomb has never been fully explained .

I sat next to a girl whose name was Diana. We soon became best friends. During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades. This sounded like my school in China. 在第一天，所有新生在学校礼堂集合，我坐在一个叫做戴安娜的女孩旁边，我们很快就成为了好朋友。在集合期间，校长告诉我们关于学校的规章制度，他还告诉我们，在学校要想赢得别人的尊重，最好的方法就是努力学习，取得高分，这一点听起来跟中国的学校差不多。 I had many teachers in the past year. Mr Heywood, my class teacher, was very helpful. My favourite teacher was Miss Burke – I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature. In our class there were 28 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names. 在过去的一年里，我有很多的老师，黑伍德先生，也就是我的班主任，对我很有帮助；我最喜欢的老师是伯尔克小姐，我喜欢她教的英国文学课。在我们班有28个同学，这差不多是英国学校的平均班额。我们在不同的教室上不同的课，上某些课的时候，班上的同学也不一样，所以对我来说记住所有人的面孔和名字是一件难事。 I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. However, it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky, as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I enjoyed all my subjects: English, History, English Literature, Computer Science, Maths, Science, PE, Art, Cooking and French. 我发现这里布置的家庭作业不像我以前在原来学校时那么繁重，可是一开始我还是觉得有点挑战性，因为所有的作业都是英文的。让我感到幸运的是，所有老师都给了我极大的鼓励，也喜欢所学的科目：英语、历史、英国文学，计算机，数学、科学、体育、艺术、烹饪和法语。 My English improved a lot, as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library. I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break, so I could send e-mails to my family and friends back home for free. I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings. Cooking was really fun as I learnt how to buy, prepare and cook food. At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something. I was glad that all my classmates were fond of the cake that I made. 我的英语提高了很多，因为我每天都使用英语而且我每天花一小时在图书馆看英语书，我经常在中午休息的时候去计算机俱乐部，这样我就可以免费给国内你的家人和朋友发邮件了。我还在每周二的晚上有一节法语课，烹饪课也很有趣，因为我可以学到如何购买、准备和烹饪食物，在学期末，我们有举行班级聚会，我们都需要做一些食物，让我很高兴的是我同学都很喜欢我做的蛋糕。

British people like eating dessert at the end of their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school field. Sometimes I played football with the boys. Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass. I was very lucky to experience this different way of life. I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction, and I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again. 在英国的学校生活 在英国上了一年的中学对我来说是一段非常令人愉快和兴奋的经历。我很喜欢英国中学的 作息时间，因为学校每天上午大约9点上课，下午大约3点半放学。这意味着我每天可以比以往 晚一个小时起床，因为在中国学校每天上午8点之前就开始上课了。 开学第一天，所有的新生都去学校礼堂参加晨会。我当时坐在一个名叫黛安娜的女孩身边： 我们很快就成了最要好的朋友。在晨会上，校长向我们宣布了校规。他还告诉我们，赢得尊重 的最佳途径就是专心学习并取得好成绩。这听起来倒是像我在国内就读的学校。 过去的一年里我有过许多老师。海伍德先生，我的班主任，对我的帮助很大。我最喜欢的 老师是伯克小姐——我喜爱她教的英国文学课程。我们班上一一共有28个学生。英国中学的班级 差不多就是这么大。我们上不同的课得去不同的教室。上某些课的时候，班上的同学也不一样， 所以对我来说记住所有的人的面孔和名字可是一件难事。 我发现这里布置的家庭作业不像我以前在原来学校时那么繁重，可一开始我还是觉得有些

Home alone Act one Mom and Dad arrive back from vacation a day earlier than expected. The curtains are closed and the living room is dark when Mom and Dad enter. Dad: It’s so nice to be home! Mom: Yes, I can’t wait to surprise the boys! Suddenly a door opens and a soccer ball flies through the room. Eric runs in after it, followed by a big dog, walking very slowly. Eric: Mom! Dad! You’re back early! (looking around room, sounding frightened) But, but--- you weren’t supposed to come home until tomorrow! The dog slowly walks to Mom and Dad. Mom: (Bending to touch dog) Eric, he’s so tired and hungry! (looking at table) The money for dog food is gone, but Spot looks like he is starving! What did you do with the cash we left? Dad: And look at this room— garbage all over the place! Where is your brother? (shouting angrily) Daniel! Daniel: (running into room) Mom, Dad, I can explain--- Dad opens the curtains and light comes into the room. The room is in a mess, with pizza boxes on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink. In the corner, there is a garbage can around which are pieces of garbage and waste paper. Mom and Dad both turn towards Daniel. Dad: (sounding very angry) listen to me, young man----we left you in charge? We thought you could act like an adult! I don’t know the reason why the house is so dirty--- Mom: Daniel, we thought you were an adult, a person from whom we could expect good decisions. Dad: How can we trust you any more? We won’t tolerate such behavior in our house! Daniel: ( shouting) Stop shou ting at me. I’m still a teenager! Why is everything always my fault? Daniel runs into his bedroom and slams the door. Mom and Dad look at each other as lights go out. Act two, scene one Daniel and Eric’s bedroom. Eric sits on his bed. Daniel has his arms c rossed and looks upset. Daniel: They never even gave me a chance to explain. I hate them! Eric: You don’t hate them. I can tell them we had an emergency. Then they won’t be mad anymore. Daniel: No, don’t tell them anything. Anyhow they didn’t trust me. They don’t deserve an explanation. Let them think what they want. Eric: But Daniel, if they knew that Spot was sick and we used the money to take him to the clinic--- Daniel: And that we spent all of yesterday waiting there for him and that is why we had no time to clean the house --- but no, Eric, why didn’t they ask me what happened instead of shouting at me? Act two, scene two Mom: Do you think we were too hard on Daniel? Perhaps there is a reason why the house is a mess… Dad: Maybe, but now that he has been so rude to us, I feel like we have to punish him or he
8、《各具特色的民居》课文原文 客家民居 在闽西南和粤（yua）东北的崇山峻岭中，点缀着数以千计的圆形围屋或土楼，这就是被誉为“世界民居奇葩（pā）”的客家民居。 客家人是古代从中原繁盛的地区迁到南方的。他们的居住地大多在偏僻（pì）、边远的山区，为了防备盗匪的骚扰和当地人的排挤，便建造了营垒式住宅，在土中掺（chān）石灰，用糯（nuò）米饭、鸡蛋清作黏（nián）合剂，以竹片、木条作筋骨，夯（hāng）筑起墙厚1米、高15米以上的土楼。它们大多为三至六层楼，一百至二百多间房屋如橘瓣状排列，布局均匀，宏伟壮观。大部分土楼有两三百年甚至五六百年的历史，经受无数次地震撼动、风雨侵蚀以及炮火攻击而安然无恙，显示了传统建筑文化的魅力。 客家先民崇尚圆形，认为圆是吉祥、幸福和安宁的象征。土楼围成圆形的房屋均按八卦（guà）[1]布局排列，卦与卦之间设有防火墙，整齐划一。 客家人在治家、处事、待人、立身等方面，无不体现出明显的文化特征。比如，许多房屋大门上刻着这样的正楷对联：“承前祖德勤和俭，启后子孙读与耕”，表现了先辈希望子孙和睦相处、勤俭持家的愿望。楼内房间大小一模一样，他们不分贫富、贵*，每户人家平等地分到底层至高层各一间房。各层房屋的用途惊人地统一，底层是厨房兼饭堂，二层当贮（zh ù）仓，三层以上作卧室，两三百人聚居一楼，秩序井然，毫不混乱。土楼内所保留的民俗文化，让人感受到中华传统文化的深厚久远。 傣家竹楼 踏上傣家人居住的土地，你就走进了绿色的世界。远远望去，到处是一丛丛绿绿的凤尾竹和遮天盖地的油棕林。竹林深处不时传来鸡犬之声，那一幢幢竹楼都藏在浓绿的竹林中了。 竹楼是傣族传统的建筑形式。傣族人居住区地处亚热带，气温高，据说竹楼有利于防酷热和湿气，因此，傣族人家至今依然保持着“多起竹楼，傍水而居”的习惯。 傣族村寨多则二三百户，少则一二十家，都由一幢幢别致的竹楼组成。村边有防护林带。每家竹楼四周，都用竹篱围着。篱内种植着各种花木果树，可谓“树满寨，花满园”。竹楼下有较大的空地作院子。每幢竹楼呈正方形，分上下两层，楼上住人，楼下关牲口、堆柴禾。竹楼由20至24根柱子支撑。屋内横梁穿柱，有的横梁上雕刻着花纹。离地七八尺处铺楼板或竹篾（mia），将楼房隔为两层。以前屋顶是用茅（máo）草编织的草排或木片覆盖，近年来大都改用瓦顶。 如果你到傣家做客，走进竹篱，登上梯子，便来到屋外的走廊。进门，是一间宽大的堂屋，中间铺着一大块竹席，这是全家人活动的中心，也是招待客人的地方。两侧是用木板或竹篾隔成的卧室，外人是不能入内的。傣家竹楼建筑结构一般比较简单，但十分宽敞，别致美观。室内通风也很好，坐在室内，只觉清风徐来，花果飘香。 建造竹楼，是傣家生活中的一件大事。按照传统习俗，先要选好地方，打好地基，再立柱架梁。一幢竹楼最主要的是中柱。中柱一般是8根。选择中柱是件严肃而隆重的事情。中柱从山上运进村寨时，大家都前去迎接，并泼水祝福。傣族还有个风俗：一家盖房，全村帮忙。新楼落成时，还要举行“架竹楼”仪式。这时候，全寨子的人蜂拥而至，喜气洋洋，像过节一般热闹。同时还要请“赞哈”[2]唱“贺新房”的曲子，据说这样才能吉祥、平安，家道兴旺。 [1]八卦：我国古代一套有象征意义的符号，相传是伏羲所造。 [2]赞哈：是傣语中民间歌手的意思。 8* 各具特色的民居 学习目标： 1．学习并积累“奇葩、安然无恙、和睦”等词语。
