To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading,writing, listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important.Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.★ Text BComprehension check: c c d a c bLanguage Practice1.g h e c f a b d2.1) adopt 2) account 3) from your point of view 4) ended up5) furthermore 6) fund 7) annual 8) keeping track of9) pace 10) intends11) perspective 12) deviseUnit 2★Text AVocabularyI. 1. 1) abrupt 2) emotional 3) bless 4) wear and tear5) dated6）consequences 7）seemingly 8) in contrast to 9) Curiosity 10) genuine 11) primarily 12) sentiments2. 1) When you are confronted with more than one problem, try tosolve the easiest one first.2) Water is vital to the existence of all forms of life.3) There is still some confusion among the students about whatto do after class to follow up on the subject.4) As a person of simple living habits, he needs nothing morethan a job and an apartment to be happy.5) It tickled him to think that she’d come to as his advice.3. 1) a lingering, fabricating, sentiments2) fill out, every item, vital, consequences3) be denied, tangible, cherish, attainII.1.It’s a long trip and will take us five hours by bus.2.She arrived early and took a front row seat.3.Don’t take me for a fool.4.It takes a lot of imagination to fabricate such a story.5.My uncle will take me (along on his trip) to the Arctic thissummer.6.He took the dinner plate I passed to him.7.Kevin took second prize in the weight-lifting competition.8.If you don’t take my advice, you will regret it.III.1.hanging2. to give3. to return4. being praised5. nothaving written6. to say7. to open8. being helpedComprehensive ExerciseI.1. 1) well-off/affluent 2) dated 3) falling into 4) bracket5) deny6) tangible 7) pursuit 8) cherishes 9) out of place10) abrupt11) focus 12) donations2. 1) consume 2) fueled 3) annual 4) plain 5) physically6) security7) indicates 8) equally 9) traditional 10) followsII.

Mr. Johnson assured them that he would certainly settle the issue. As soon as he put down the phone he scolded his son, “What has come over you? You should know better than to disturb others for your own amusement.”In the end George traded his CD’s for computer games software from his classmates.★ Text BComprehension Check: b a b c d aLanguage Practice1. d e f g a b h c2. 1) and he like 2) popularity 3) had been kept in the dark 4)define 5) was aware of 6)relate 7) were up to 8) trend9)opportunity 10)mobile 11)comments12) interviewedUnit 4★Text AVocabularyI.1. 1) conversely 2). but then 3) symptom 4) spitting 5) abusing 6) tone7) took…in 8) editing 9) have arranged 10) in sight 11) stretched 12) data2. 1) The sight of teenagers smoking cigarettes jars on me.2) A lot of American teenagers don’t like street gangs, but theyfind themselves getting sucked in.3) Jeffrey’s computer crashed again this morning.

Nancy Hopkins is a biology professor at MIT. She cravesknowledge and works hard. However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus. Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective. It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institutions of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equality advocate.★ Text BComprehension Check: b a d b d c aLanguage Practice1.b d a e g c f h2.1) crisis 2) weighed down 3) supportive 4) takes all thecredit 5) pleaded6) in control of 7) party 8) expense 9) lives for10) semester11) at every opportunity 12) stirUnit 7★Text AVocabularyI.1. 1) Strictly speaking 2) drifted 3) resembles 4) invaded 5) is conquered 6) fascinating 7) snack 8) put…into practice 9) source 10) climate 11) surrendered 12) were aroused2. 1) an absolute necessity rather than a luxury 2) is a valuable addition to the football team.3) will get out of control, if the firemen do not arrive within ten minutes.4) alternative but to g via Vancouver to get to Seattle5) declared all beef imports will be banned for the next six monthsas an emergency measure to stop the spread of mad cow disease.3. 1) systematic, have invented, to a very real extent, mysteries2) to establish, to be modifies/ modifying 3) tolerance towards, strike out, enrichII. 1. a) wish b) wish c) want d) want/wish 2. a) skin b) hide/skin c) hide d) skin3. a) raise/rear b) raise c) rear/raise d) raise4. a) royal b)kingly/royal c) sovereign d) royal/kinglyIII. 1.

Though how the English language came into existenceremains a mystery to many people，linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language.English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing.As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language : American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of theirlanguage.★ Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5)in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) hadcontributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are complaining/complain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreign guests2) the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed thecrowded unnoticed.4) looked deserted 5) were stricken by it3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus 3) had crept into.

This village was once famous for its beautiful naturalsurroundings. All the year round, the trees were green and the flowers in bloom. Clear streams flowed out of the hills througha checkerboard of rice fields. Birds sang all day, and deer cameand went in a leisurely manner. However, with the coming of DDT and other pesticides, an evil spell seemed to have settled over the village. Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feelingthat puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.★ Text BComprehension Check: b d a b b cLanguage Practice1.c d g a h b e f2.1) adapt 2) injured 3) immune 4) hostile 5) gives out6) slight 7) take up8) significance 9) for the most part 10) deliberate11)span 12) get caught up in。

Unit1One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later.However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon).But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?Unit2Walton set up a college scholarship fund for employees' children, a disaster relief fund to rebuild employee homes damaged by fires, floods, tornadoes, and the like. He believed in cultivating ideas and rewarding success."He'd say, 'That fellow worked hard, let's give him a little extra,'" recalls retired president Ferold F. Arend, who was stunned at such generosity after the stingy employer he left to join Wal-Mart. "I had to change my way of thinking when I came aboard.""The reason for our success," says Walton, in a company handout, "is our people and the way they're treated and the way they feel about their company. They believe things are different here, but they deserve the credit."Adds company lawyer Jim Hendren: "I've never seen anyone yet who worked for him or was around him for any length of time who wasn't better off. And I don't mean just financially, although a lot of people are. It's just something about him -- coming into contact with Sam Walton just makes you a better person."Making the journey from log cabin to White House is part of the American Dream. But when Jimmy Carter was defeated in his attempt to gain a second term as President of the United States he found himself suddenly thrown out of the White House and back in his log cabin. This is how he coped.Unit3SEAN: If that sort of thing happened only once in a while, it wouldn't be so bad. Overall, I wouldn't want to trade my dad for anyone else's. He loves us kids and Mom too. But I think that's sometimes the problem. He wants to do things for us, things he thinks are good. But he needs to give them more thought because:SEAN, HEIDI and DIANE: (In unison) Father knows better!(The lights quickly fade to black and then come up a second or two later. DIANE stands alone at the Down Right edge of the stage. HEIDI and SEAN enter Down Left and cross to the edge of the stage. )DIANE: Can you imagine how humiliated I was? An honor student, class president. And Father was out asking people to have their sons call and ask me to the prom! But that's dear old dad. Actually, he is a dear. He just doesn't stop to think. And it's not just one of us who've felt the heavy hand of interference. Oh, no, all three of us live in constant dread knowing that at any time disaster can strike because: Father knows better.Unit4I'd never realized how important daily routine is: dressing for work, sleeping normal hours. I'd never thought I relied so much on co-workers for company. I began to understand why long-term unemployment can be so damaging, why life without an externally supported daily plan can lead to higher rates of drug abuse, crime, suicide.To restore balance to my life, I force myself back into the real world. I call people, arrange to meet with the few remaining friends who haven't fled New York City. I try to at least get to the gym, so as to set apart the weekend from the rest of my week. I arrange interviews for stories, doctor's appointments -- anything to get me out of the house and connected with others.But sometimes being face to face is too much. I see a friend and her ringing laughter is intolerable -- the noise of conversation in the restaurant, unbearable. I make my excuses and flee. I re-enter my apartment and run to the computer as though it were a place of safety.I click on the modem, the once-annoying sound of the connection now as pleasant as my favorite tune. I enter my password. The real world disappears.Thought you were safe sharing secrets with Internet friends? Wait for the doorbell...Unit5The runway felt different this time. It startled him for a brief moment. Then it all hit him like a wet bale of hay. The bar was set at nine inches higher than his personal best. That's only one inch off the National record, he thought. The intensity of the moment filled his mind with anxiety. He began shaking the tension. It wasn't working. He became more tense. Why was this happening to him now, he thought. He began to get nervous. Afraid would be a more accurate description. What was he going to do? He had never experienced these feelings. Then out of nowhere, and from the deepest depths of his soul, he pictured his mother. Why now? What was his mother doing in his thoughts at a time like this? It was simple.His mother always used to tell him when you felt tense, anxious or even scared, take deep breaths.So he did. Along with shaking the tension from his legs, he gently laid his pole at his feet. He began to stretch out his arms and upper body. The light breeze that was once there was now gone. He carefully picked up his pole. He felt his heart pounding. He was sure the crowd did, too. The silence was deafening. When he heard the singing of some distant birds in flight, he knew it was his time to fly.Unit6Racing the clock every day is such an exhausting effortthat when I actually have a few free moments, I tend to collapse. Mostly I sink into a chair and stare into space while I imagine how lovely life would be if only I possessed the organizational skills and the energy of my superheroines. In fact, I waste a good deal of my spare time just worrying about what other women are accomplishing in theirs. Sometimes I think that these modern fairy tales create as many problems for women as the old stories that had us biding our time for the day our prince would come.Yet superwomen tales continue to charm me. Despite my friend's warning against being taken in, despite everything I've learned, I find that I'm not only willing, but positively eager to buy that bridge she mentioned. Why? I suppose it has something to do with the appeal of an optimistic approach to life -- and the fact that extraordinary deeds have been accomplished by determined individuals who refused to believe that "you can't" was the final word on their dreams.Men have generally been assured that achieving their heart's desires would be a piece of cake. Women, of course, have always believed that we can't have our cake and eat it too-the old low-dream diet.

This lesson introduces a lively and memorable trip to the Great Wall of China.As we begin our journey, our eyes are immediately met with breathtaking views. Stretching over 21,000 kilometers across China, the Great Wall is an emblem of ancient Chinese civilization. Its grandeur and historical significance attract millions of tourists each year.The Great Wall has a history of over 2,000 years. Construction first began during the Qin Dynasty and continued throughout various dynasties. It served as a key defense system, protecting the Chinese empire from invasions.

The feeling of standing on the Wall, gazing at the vast landscape, was truly indescribable. It was as if we were transported back in time, experiencing the challenges and triumphs of the past.The Wall's architectural features are truly remarkable. Its solid structure is built from layers of brick, stone, and other materials, providing stability and strength. Along the Wall, there are watchtowers strategically located to ensure timely communication and defense.Not only is the Great Wall a historical treasure, but it also offers stunning natural scenery. The Wall winds through mountains, valleys, and even deserts, offering breathtaking views at every turn. We were captivated by the beauty of the surrounding landscape, enhancing our overall experience.Furthermore, the Great Wall has become a symbol of unity and perseverance. From the hands of countless laborers who dedicated their lives to its construction, the Wall stands as a testament to human determination and ambition. It serves as a reminder that through unity and hard work, great achievements can be made.In conclusion, our trip to the Great Wall was a truly unforgettable experience.

第五单元逾越障碍课文A读一读以下两则名言，想一想迈克尔·斯通的故事是否印证了其间的道理。

障碍越是巨大，逾越它也就越感自豪。

——莫里哀只有天空漆黑时，你才可以看到星星。

——查尔斯·久比尔德真正的高度大为·纳史特他手心在出汗。

他需要用毛巾把握竿的手擦干。

太阳火辣辣的，与他今天在全国少年奥林匹克运动会上所面临的竞争一样热烈。

横杆升到了17英尺。

比他个人的最高记录高出3英寸。

迈克尔·斯通面临的是其撑竿跳高生涯中最具挑战性的一天。

尽管赛跑决赛一小时前就已经结束，看台上仍然观众满座，足有20，000人上下。

撑竿跳高确实是所有田径比赛中最精彩的项目。

它融合了体操运动员的优雅与健美运动员的力量。

它还具有飞翔的特征，对观看该项目比赛的观众来说，飞跃两层楼的高度简直是一件不可思议的事情。

迈克尔自从能记事起就一直梦想着飞翔。

从小到大，母亲给迈克尔念过无数关于飞翔的故事。

她的故事总是从高空俯瞰描述大地。

她对细节的激情和酷爱使得迈克尔的梦境色彩缤纷、绚丽无比。

迈克尔总是重复做着一个梦。

他在乡间大路上飞奔。

当他奔跑在金色的麦田之间时，总是把开过的机车一路甩在身后。

就在他深深吸上一口气的瞬间，他开始从地面一跃而起，就像一头雄鹰那样开始翱翔。

他飞越的都是母亲故事里描述的地方。

无论他飞向何方，他都怀着母爱所赐予他的自由精神，用敏锐的目光观察入微。

可他的父亲却不是个梦想家。

伯特·斯通是个彻头彻尾的现实主义者。

他信奉的是努力与苦干。

他的格言是：簧键绢谚殉吼莳，腐挣努力工／户／从14岁起，迈克尔就是这么做的。

他开始按非常周密的计划训练。

他每隔一天进行举重训练，其它的日子做些跑步训练。

训练计划由迈克尔的教练、训练员兼父亲严加督导。

迈克尔的投入、执着、自律正是每一个教练所梦寐以求的。

迈克尔在学校是位优秀生，在家是个独生子，但他仍帮助父母在自家的农场上千些杂活。

迈克尔的母亲米尔德里德·斯通希望他能更放松些，还是做那个“自由幻想”的小男孩。

So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equality advocate.★Text BComprehension Check: b a d b d c aLanguage Practice1. b d a e g c f h2. 1) crisis 2) weighed down 3) supportive 4) takes all the credit 5) pleaded6) in control of 7) party 8) expense 9) lives for 10) semester11) at every opportunity 12) stirUnit 7★Text AV ocabularyI.1. 1) Strictly speaking 2) drifted 3) resembles 4) invaded 5) is conquered 6) fascinating 7) snack 8) put…into practice 9) source 10) climate 11) surrendered 12) were aroused2. 1) an absolute necessity rather than a luxury 2) is a valuable addition to the football team.3) will get out of control, if the firemen do not arrive within ten minutes.4) alternative but to g via Vancouver to get to Seattle5) declared all beef imports will be banned for the next six months as an emergency measure to stop the spread of mad cow disease.3. 1) systematic, have invented, to a very real extent, mysteries2) to establish, to be modifies/ modifying 3) tolerance towards, strike out, enrichII. 1. a) wish b) wish c) want d) want/wish 2. a) skin b) hide/skin c) hide d) skin3. a) raise/rear b) raise c) rear/raise d) raise4. a) royal b) kingly/royal c) sovereign d) royal/kinglyIII. 1.

Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people，linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language : American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.★Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself of。
