第一模块 自然界的一个伟大奇迹 我到达的时候，正是清晨，天正下着雨。我望着东方—天空变得灰蒙蒙的。我从车内出来，穿过大门，沿着漆黑的小路往前走。没什么可看的，但是我知道它就在那儿。 大约走了一英里后，一个陌生人走在小路边，我问道:“我走的路对吗”他知道我要到哪儿。“是的，”他回答，“五分钟后你会到达那儿。”最后，我来到一些岩石前停了下来。我朝那片岩石望过去，但是一片寂静，还是看不见它。 突然，雨停了，云散了。太阳从我身后升起，照在岩石上。在我下面的远处，地面(仿佛在随光线)向下延伸，逐渐退落，显露出谷底的河流。我眺望这自然界奇观之一的大峡谷。 我俯瞰科罗拉多河，一条在我下方差不多一英里的银色的溪流。如果你把世界上最高的两座建筑物叠放在峡谷的底部，它们仍然不能达到顶部。然后，我眺望峡谷的另一边，它大约有15英里远，或许更多。最后我向左右遥望，在两边，大峡谷延伸超过200英里。大峡谷不仅仅是大。它是无比巨大。 我在大峡谷边停留了约半个小时，我在问自己“大峡谷是自然界最伟大的奇观吗？”我当然知道这个答案。你认为呢？ 第二模块 感恩节 感恩节是美国的一个节日。在十一月份的第四个星期四是庆祝它的日子。它是一个在家人和朋友间进行特别晚餐的时刻。人们做简短的演讲，向他们的食物表示感恩。 自17世纪首批英格兰的拓荒者们乘船抵达美洲大陆以后，我们就一直庆祝这个节日。 他们再穿越大西洋时，很多人死了，在他们登上这片陆地后，他们度过的第一个冬天，比在英国的任何一个冬天都糟糕。当地人，也就是美洲印第安人
教这些拓荒者怎么种植玉米。第二年他们聚在一起品尝新收获的食物，欢庆（丰收）。 今天我们仍然用传统的晚餐方式来庆祝感恩节。在我们家，厨房总是最拥挤的房间，因为我们都帮着准备食物。我们摆设餐具，在开始晚餐之前，我父亲向食物表示感恩，这样能让我们记住为什么庆祝这儿节日。我们通常吃很多食物，但仅一年一次！我们在晚餐后也经常谈了很多事情、讲故事。当一切都结束时，大家都帮着洗餐具。 当家人和朋友们相聚庆祝节日的时候，它也是一个旅游的旺季。在节日期间，有很多可看可做的事情。我们住在纽约市，（所以）去观看梅西感恩节大游行。游行队伍沿着几条街前进，在著名的梅西商店结束。感恩节是圣诞季节的开始，我们开始购买礼物。（美式）足球在感恩节也是很重要的，有多支队伍在比赛。像许多美国人一样，我们通常在电视上看这些比赛，而且过的非常开心。第三模块 我心目中的英雄---白求恩大夫（王玲玲） 在中国，诺曼白求恩是最著名的英雄之一。他是一名加拿大医生。他来到中国帮助中国人民，并为他们而死。 诺曼白求恩出生于1890年。在1916年他成为一名医生，1936年，他前往西班牙治疗那儿在战争期间受伤的士兵。他很快就意识到，很多人是因为没有足够迅速地去医院而面临死亡。白求恩大夫研发了护理病人的新方法。他发明了再医院之外和靠近作战区使用的特殊医疗器械，使医生可以更快地治疗伤员。他的发明挽救了许多人的生命。 1938年，白求恩大夫来到中国帮助救治抗日战争时期的伤员。那时候医生很少，所以他不得不独自一人艰辛工作。他在西班牙治疗（病）人的经验在中国很有用。他为当地的医生和护士研发了培训课程，还写了一些书，以便他们能了解他是如何治疗病人的。 白求恩大夫经常忘我地工作，没有片刻休息，顾不上照顾自己。有一次，他甚至69个小时不间断工作，并成功挽救了一百多条生命。1939年的一天，在

Module 1 Wonders of the world Unit1 What is a wonder of the world? 贝蒂：好吧，进来坐下！ 大明：什么事？ 玲玲：我们在开会。 大明：我一点都不知道，我在做作业。这个会是关于什么的？ 玲玲；校园杂志。 大明：什么校园杂志？ 贝蒂：好吧，大家请注意。昨晚有人看电视了吗？你们看到对贝基·王的采访了吗？ 玲玲：她和Crazy Feet 乐队一起演唱。她是我最喜欢的歌手。 托尼：是的，我看了，她去过我们学校！ 贝蒂：噢，当她还在这儿上学的时候，创办了一份叫做《新标准》的校园杂志。那么我们为什么不也创办一份校园杂志呢？我已经写下了一些想法。我们要记录下学校每天发生的事，还要告诉大家校园音乐会以及舞蹈俱乐部的事情。 托尼：还有校园篮球比赛。 玲玲：但是谁写文章呢？ 贝蒂：我们来写文章，还有什么想法吗？ 托尼：我知道了，我要就我们喜爱的乐队和电影写一些评论！ 玲玲：我要采访贝基·王！ 贝蒂：太好了，还有别人吗？ 大明：“家庭作业小助手”怎么样？ 托尼：是的，一些关于如何取得好成绩的想法！ 玲玲：大明，你的作业呢？ 大明：我在写出一篇叫做《什么是世界奇观？》的作文。我在读有关埃及古老的金字塔的事情。 贝蒂：“家庭作业小助手“。大明，我想那是一个极好的主意。 Unit 2 I was on the edge of the Gran Canyon. 自然界最伟大的奇观 我到达的时候是一大早，天正在下雨。我走出汽车，穿过一个门口，沿着一条小路前行。在东方，天空正在变亮，但路边仍然很黑。我知道，它就在那里，但什么也看不见。 大约过了1000米，一个陌生人出现在我面前。我问：“我走的路对吗？他知道我要去哪里。他回答：“对，5分钟后你就会到那里。”最后，我来到一些岩石旁边停下。我仔细地从这些岩石上面看，但是天仍然太黑，我看不见任何东西。 突然，云散了，雨停了。太阳从我身后升起，它离那些岩石很远。我看见地面沉降到下面深谷中的一条河里，离我特别遥远。我站在自然界的奇观之一——大峡谷的边缘。 我俯视着距我大约2000米之遥的科罗拉多河。如果你把世界上最高的三座建筑物放在峡谷的底部，它们也不能达到顶部。然后，我眺望峡谷的另一边，它多远？20000米或许更远。最后，我向左右遥望，在两边，大峡谷消失在远方……400多千米长。大峡谷不仅是大。它是巨大！ 那天早上在大峡谷的边缘，我问了自己一个问题。它不是“它多深？”或者“它多宽？”或者“它多长？”而是“大峡谷是自然界最伟大的奇观吗？”我知道答案。但是你怎样认为？
