Unit 2Part I Pre-reading TaskScript for the recording:Just what are friends for? To have fun with, of course, to share in the good times. Yet most people would say that a real friend is more than just a fair weather friend. A fair weather friend? A fair weather friend is someone who's happy to stay with you when things are going well but leaves as soon as trouble arrives, while a good friend, a true friend, is one who'll stand by you when you find yourself in difficulties. That's certainly what the American pop singer Dionne Warwick thinks. As she tells her friend... you can always count on me,For sure, that's what friends are for,For good times,an bad times,I’ 11 be on your side forevermore.But she sings it better than I can say it. So let's listen to her as she sings her song That's What Friends Are For.Appendix I- 95 -That's What Friends Are ForDionne WarwickAnd I never thought I'd reel this way And asfar as I'm concerned I'm glad I got the chanceto sayThat I do believe I love youAnd if I should ever go away,Well, then close your eyes and try,To feel the way we do today,/And then if you can remember,Keep smiling, keep shining,Knowing you can always count on me,For sure, that's what friends are for,For good times> and had times,I'll he on your side forevermore,That's what friends are for.Well, you came and opened meAnd now there's so much more I seeAnd so by the way, I thank youAnd then for the times we're apart,Well, then close your eyes and knowThese words are coming from my heartAnd then it you can remember,Keep smiling, keep shining,Knowing you can always count on me,For sure, that's what friends are for,For good times, and had times,I'll he on your side forevermore,That' s what friends are for,Keep smiling, keep shining,Knowing you can always count on me,For sure that's what friends are for,For good times, and had times,I'll he on your side forevermore,- 9t© -Appendix IThat's what mends are tor, Keep smiling, keepshining, Knowing you can always count on me,For sure, that's what friends are tor.

You know what I'm like, always putting things off till tomorrow. And writing was never my strong point. But looking out the window just now at the kids playing outside reminded me of when we were their age. All sorts of memories, like the time Tim Shea broke the window, the Halloween that we tied Old Mr. Parker's gate, and when Mrs. Culver used to keep us after school, came flooding back. What a great time we spent hanging out together. Come to think of it, time was just about all we did have to spend in those days.But time flies. I began the letter with "Old Friend" because that's what we've become over the years—old friends. And there aren't many of us left. Which makes those who are all the more precious. You in particular. Your friendship over the years has meant an awful lot to me, more than I can say because I'm not good at saying things like that.Anyway, we've been out of touch for far too long. So I thought you'd like to know that I was thinking of you. We really must try to get together soon. Why not come to visit? You know you're always welcome.Your Old Friend,Tom PS If you see Tim Shea remind him he never did replace that ball of mine he broke the window with!(245 words)。

Cusco was the capital city of the Inca Empire which was the most powerful in South America until the 1500s. There are two especially interesting things to admire about the Inca civilization. The first is the roads and paths they built to connect their important cities. These Inca roads made up of two north-south highways and many small roads crossing the mountains east to west. The roads were for Inca soldiers and their officials. Second, the Incas built wonderful cities full of amazing architecture but there were no markets in these cities. One of the interesting questions of history is how the Inca lived without shopping!4.路线介绍（课本P26）Machu Picchu Tour----This four-day walking tour will take you on amazing paths through the Andes Mountains on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. After reaching your destination ,you will have a day to explore and be amazed by this ancient city.

Book 1 Unit 2ReadingWhen teenagers’ bodies and minds go through a period of rapid development, every part of their lives can be influenced. The magazine article below is about teenagers’ relationships with their parents. Before you read the article, think about the following questions:•What physical and mental changes do you experience as you become a teenager? How do you deal with them?•What do you think “strangers under the same roof” means?Strangers under the same roof?Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into a battle? Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded? Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything? You are not alone. Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.Teenagers’ physical changes may result in such family tensions. You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate to your friends, shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots. When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first targets of your anger.It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground— 5 10 15 Reading 17 no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You have both a new desire for independence and a continued need for your parents’ love and support. You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own. Unfortunately, your parents do not alwa ys agree and that makes you feel unhappy. “Why can’t they just let me go?” you may wonder. On the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship.Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family, you can take action to improve the situation. The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication. When you disagree with your parents, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view. Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain. After you have thought it through, explain your actions and feelings calmly, listen carefully, and address their concerns. Through this kind of healthy discussion, you will learn when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control.Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress that parent-child tensions create, and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship. The good news is that this stormy period will not last. Everything will turn out all right in the end, and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepareyou for adulthood.Extended readingRead the short story about a mother’s love for her children.Mama and her bank accountEvery Saturday night Mama would sit down by the kitchen table and count out the money Papa had brought home.“For the rent.” Mama would count out the big silver pieces.“For the groceries.” Another group of coins.“I’ll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine, my brother Nels or me.Mama would put one or two coins to the side. We would watch with anxious interest. At last, Papa would ask, “Is that all?” And when Mama nodded, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile, “Good. We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so proud of Mama’s Bank Account. It gave us such a warm, secure feeling.When Nels graduated from grammar school, he wanted to go on to high school. “It will cost a little money,” he said.Eagerly we gathered around the table. I took down a box and laid it carefully in front of Mama. This was the “Little Bank”. It was used for sudden emergencies, such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to be taken to a doctor.Nels listed the costs of the things he would need. Mama counted out the money in the Little Bank. There was not enough. “We do not want to go to the Bank,” she reminded. We all shook our heads.“I will work in Dillon’s grocery after school,” Nels voluntee red.Mama gave him a bright smile and wrote down a number. “That’s not enough,” Papa said. Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. “I will give up smoking,” he said suddenly.Mama reached across the table and touched Papa’s arm. Then she wrote down another figure.“I will look after the Elvington children every Friday night,” I said. “Christine can help me.”Now there was enough money. We all felt very good because we did not have to go downtown and draw money out of Mama’s Bank Account. So many things came out of the Little Bank that year: Christine’s dress for the school play,my little sister Dagmar’s operation ... Whatever happened, we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon.That was twenty years ago.Last year I sold my first story. When the check came, I hurried over to Mama’s and put it in her lap. “For you,” I said, “to put in your Bank Account.”I noticed for the first time how old Mama and Papa looked. Papa seemed shorter, and Mama’s hai r was silver now.“Tomorrow,” I told Mama, “you must take it to the Bank.”“You will go with me, Katrin?”“That won’t be necessary. Just hand it to the teller. He’ll pay it into your account.”Mama looked at me. “There is no account,” she said.“In all my life, I’ve never been inside a bank.”And when I didn’t—couldn’t—answer, Mama said seriously, “It is not good for little ones to be afraid—to not feel secure.”(Adapted from Kathryn Forbes’s Mama’s Bank Account, which has 17 short stories and describes the struggles and dreams of a family in San Francisco in the early 1900s)TranslationUnit 2lReading最熟悉的陌生人?每天的家庭晚餐幻化成激烈战斗？热情开朗的谈话蜕变成冷淡警惕？无论什么事情都夏虫语冰？其实大家都一样。

UNIT 2 Remembering and ForgettingIn-Class Reading Special Delivery特种快递到了机场，我才发现我兄弟搭乘的航班延误了一个小时。

通常我在机场等候接人时，会把时间消磨在观看飞机起落上。

可那天晚上我头疼得厉害。

我想喷气发动机发出的噪音会使我头疼更厉害，于是决定在机场内逛一会儿。

当我走过那些店铺时，碰巧看到陈列在那儿的航空箱包，这使我想起了自己的公文包。

我这才意识到公文包没在身上。

我马上努力回忆会把它遗忘在了哪里。

自从离开航空公司票务柜台后，我没有在其他任何地方停留过，所以我推想，我一定是把包留在那里了。

我急忙回去取，可是公文包已无影无踪。

起先我确信一定是有人顺手把它拿走了，但随后又想，也有可能看到包的人已把它交给了柜台，于是便在票务柜台排队等候。

轮到我时，我描述了包的特征，并询问是否有人把它交到了柜台。

那位航空公司代理摇了摇头。

这时我朝他身后的行李输送带瞥了一眼，输送带正把行李从办理登机手续处往下面的装货区传送。

我大声叫道：“我的包在那儿！”然而，当代理回头看时，公文包已传送到输送带的尽头，突然消失了。

“你看到你的包了？”代理问我。

“是的！”我大声说。

“它刚穿过那边那个入口。

这下我怎样才能把它取回来呢？”“这不难，”代理回答说。

“把你的行李领取凭证给我，我想我们能够在装机前截住它。

”“可我没有行李凭证！”我答道。

“我没办托运！我哪儿都不去。

我是来接人的。

”我平静了一下情绪，解释了事情的经过，并指出很可能有人把包交到了柜台，而某位代理把它和其他行李一起办了托运并放到了传送带上。

代理告诉我，能找回包的唯一办法是，填写一张认领单，在上面写清公文包的外观特征。

等我填完表格，代理打电话到下面的行李区查询时，包已被装上了一架航班，但不知是哪一架。

代理记下了我的电话号码，并保证他们一找到包就给我打电话。

尽管我住在苏城，离机场有一个半小时的车程，他们还是会一找到包就把它送到我家来。
