外研版高中英语课文文本必修一Module4CulturalCornerProblems in Western Europe In some countries in western Europe, such as France, Spain and Britain, the countryside is changing. Life has become difficult for many villages, and some are disappearing. There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, young people from villages usually want to live somewhere livelier and they often move to the towns and do not return. Secondly, people move to the cities to find work, as there are often very few jobs in the countryside. Sometimes villages remain because people from the cities have bought a "second home" in the village, where they come and stay at weekends. The price of homes goes up and people from the area cannot afford to buy a house there. Another problem is that it is becoming more and more difficult for farmers to make money from their farms. So they sell their land and find another job.All these things mean that many villages in western Europe are fighting to survive. We can only hope that they will remain. The countryside would be a sadder and uglier place without them.。

（外研版2019版）高中英语必修一课文及翻译Unit 1 A new startUnderstanding IdeasMy first day at senior highMonday 4 September1. After I had pictured it over and over again in my mind, the big day finally arrived: my first day at senior high! I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to get to know my new school.2. The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “New here?” Turing around, I saw a white-haired man. “Yes,”I replied. “I’m wondering what life is going to be like here.” “Don’t worry,” he gave me a smile. “You’ll soon find out.”3. How true these words were! When my English teacher stepped into the classroom, I was surprised to see the same manI had met earlier.4. “Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I’ll go first…”5. “What?!” I tried to tu rn on my brain but the engine just wouldn’t start. “I should say my name, of course. But what else? What could I say to make a good first impression? Something about my insect collection, perhaps.” I was organizing my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge. “It’s your turn!”6. With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. “Hi, I’m Meng Hao.” Everyone started laughing. I looked at them inpanic. “Nice to know we share the same name,” said my new teacher. I had been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed, his words made me a lot more relaxed!7.When we had all introduced ourselves, Mr Meng said, “Well done, everyone! I know this isn’t easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face at senior high. Challenges like this might sometimes put you under pressure. But it all depends on what you do. Keep calm and be prepared. That way, you’ll make the most of your time at senior high.”8. People say, “Well begun, half done.” I guess this was a good beginning to mynew school life.我的第一天高中生活9月4日星期一我在脑海中进行一遍又一遍地想象之后，如今这一天终于来了：我高中生活的第一天！我一大早就起床冲出家门，迫不及待地想要了解我的新学校。

My Name is Li Kang. I live in Shijiazhuang, a city not far from Beijing. It is the capital city of Hebei Province. Today is my first day at Senior High school and I'm writing down my thoughts about it.My new school is very good and I can see why. The teachers are very enthusiastic and friendly and the classrooms are amazing. Every room has a computer with a special screen, almost as big as a cinema screen. The teachers write on the computer, and their words appear on the screen behind them. The screens also show photographs, text and information from websites. They're brilliant!The English class is really interesting. The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms Shen. We're using a new textbook and Ms Shen's method of teaching is nothing like that of the teachers at my Junior High school. She thinks that reading comprehension is important, but we speak a lot in class, too. And we have fun. I don't think I will be bored in Ms Shen's class!Today we introduced ourselves to each other. We did this in groups. Some students were embarrassed at first but everyone was very friendly and it was really nice. Ms Shen gave us instructions and then we worked by ourselves.Ms Shen wants to help us improve our spelling and handwriting. We do this in a fun way, with spelling games and other activities. I like her attitude very much, and the behaviour of the other students shows that they like her, too.There are sixty-five students in my class—more than my previous class in Junior High. Forty-nine of them are girls. In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys. They say that girls are usually more hard-working than boys, but in this class, everyone is hard-working. For our homework tonight, we have towrite a description of the street where we live. I'm looking forward to doing it!。

unit2Understanding ideas1. Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning English? I hadn't, until one day my five -year -old son asked me whether there was ham in the hamburger. There isn't. This made me realize that there's no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.2. For example, in our free time, we can sculpt a sculpture and paint a painting, but we take a photo. And when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi but on the train or bus! While we are doing all these traveling, we can get a seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in the car, but we don't get homesick when we get back home. And speaking of home, why aren't homework and housework the same thing?3. If "hard" is the opposite of "soft", why are "hardly" and "softly" not an opposing pair? If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, we are shameless and shameful behaviors the same?4. When we look out of the window and see rain or snow, we can say "it's raining" or "it's snowing". But when they see sunshine, we can't say "it'ssunshining".5. Even the smallest words can be confusing. When you see the capitalized "WHO" in a medical report, do you read it as the "who" in "who's that?" What about "IT" and "US"?6. You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in whicha house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes off!7. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race. That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And that is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends.Developing ideasMisadventures in EnglishPeople say that the British always play safe with the what they eat. Not true! I went to a summer school in Manchester and my English teacher was called Maggie. One day a different teacher took our class. He told usthat Maggie couldn't teach that day COZ she had a frog in her throat. Poor Maggie, but why did she try to eat such a big frog?When I first visited New York, I went to a downtown shopping centre to buy some winter boots. At the information desk at the entrance, I asked a lady where the shoe section was. She said that it was on the first floor. So I went up to the first floor but couldn't find any shoes. I decided to leave. When I was looking for the exit, I saw that shoes were actually sold downstairs on the ground floor, not the first floor. Didn't she give me the wrong Information?I've got an English pen friend who I finally got to meet in London this summer. He had told me that his grandfather was "really wicked". But when I met his grandfather, I liked him a lot. I found it very odd. Why did my friend use a negative word about such a nice man?The British must have really high standards. I was part of a student exchange program between a university in England and my university in China. I spent days preparing and writing my first English paper. I knew I had done a good job and was looking forward to getting a positive comment. When I got the paper back, I found my teacher had written the comment "Not bad!" Not bad? But there weren't any errors in my paper.。

The Internet is the biggest source of information in the world, and it's accessible through a computer. It consists of millions of pages of data.In 1969, DARPA, a U.S. defence organisation, developed a way for all their computers to "talk" to each other through the telephone. They created a network of computers called DARPANET. For fifteen years, only the U.S. army could use this system of communication. Then in 1984, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) started the NSFNET network. It then became possible for universities to use the system as well. NSFNET became known as the Inter-Network, or "Internet".The World Wide Web (the web) is a computer network that allows computer users to access information from millions of websites via the Internet. At the moment, about 80 percent of web traffic is in English, but this percentage is going down. By 2020, much web traffic could be in Chinese.The World Wide Web was invented in 1991 by an English scientist, Tim Berners-Lee. Berners-Lee built his first computer while he was at university using an old television! He came up with the idea of the World Wide Web in 1989 while he was working in Switzerland.Berners-Lee made it possible for everyone to use the Internet, not just universities and the army. He designed the first "web browser", which allowed computer users to access documents from other computers. From that moment on, the web and the Internet grew. Within five years, the number of Internet users rose from 600 000 to 40 million.The Internet has created thousands of millionaires, but Berners-Lee is not one of them. Everyone in the world can access the Internet using his World Wide Websystem. He now works as a lecturer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston.。

For our homework tonight, we have to write a description of the street where we live.I’m looking forward to doing it!My After-school Activities .As the students of modern times, we have colorful school life. Everyday, we learn plenty of knowledge on different subjects in class. And our school organizes many extracurricular activities in order to help us put what we have learned into practice. After class, we take part in various activities, like playing football, basketball, badminton, etc.They are good for our health.Besides, we are able to join in the lectures organized by literature association, music group, art group, where you can enjoy famous works, learn to play instruments or draw pictures. Also, there are chances for us to use computers in the laboratory and talk with some foreign teachers about anything we are interested in at the English corner. Now, most of us may operate computers freely and have a good command of spoken English. In addition to the after-class activities mentioned here, there are still many others such as sports meeting, debate, social investigation, etc.All those activities make our school life attractive and interesting.We will take advantages of the experience in the future.Moudle 2 My New TeachersThey say that first impressions are very important.My first impression of Mrs. Li was that she was nervous and shy. I think perhaps she was, as it was her first lesson with us. But now, after two weeks, the class really likes working with her.She's kind and patient, and she explains English grammar so clearly that even I can understand it! She avoids making you feel stupid! I've always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly when I speak English, but Mrs.Li just smiles, so that you don't feel completely stupid! I think maybe she goes a bit too slowly for the faster students, but for me it's wonderful! I feel I'm going to make progress with her.I'd guess that Mrs. Chen is almost sixty. She's very strict—we don't dare to say a word unless she asks us to.She's also very serious and doesn't smile much.When she asks you to do something, you do it immediately! There are a few students in our class who keep coming to class late but they're always on time for Mrs. Chen's lessons! Some of our class don't ike her, but most of us really appreciate her because her teaching is so well organised and clear. And a few students even admit liking her! During scientific experiments, she explains exactly what is happening and as a result my work is improving. Physics will never be my favourite lesson, but I think that I’ll do well in the exam with Mrs Chen teaching me.Mr.Wu’s only been teaching us for two weeks and he’s already verypopular.I think this is because he really enjoys teaching Chinese literature ---he loves it, in fact! He’s got so much energy, this is one class you do not fall asleep in! He’s about 28, I think, and is rather good-looking. He talks loudly and fast, and waves his hands about a lot when he gets excited.He’s really amusing and tells jokes when he thinks we’re getting bored.Even things like compositions and summaries are fun with Mr. Wu. I respect him a lot.Module 3 My First Ride on a Train My name is Alice Thompson.I come from Sydney, Australia and I’m 18 years old. Recently I had my first ride on a long-distance train. And what a ride! A friend and I traveled on the famous Ghan train. We got on in Sydney and we got off in Alice Springs, right in the middle of Australia, more than four thousand kilometers away. We spent two days and nights on the train. The train was wonderful and the food was great. We ate great meals cooked by experts! For the first few hundred kilometres of the journey, the scenery was very colourful. There were fields and the soil was dark red. After that, it was desert. The sun shone, there was no wind and there were no clouds in the sky. Suddenly, it looked like a place from another time. We saw abandoned farms which were built more than a hundred years ago. The train was comfortable and the people were nice. During the day, I sat and looked out of the window, and sometimes talked to other passengers. I read books and listened to my Chinese cassettes(I'm studying Chinese at school). One night,at about midnight, I watched the night sky for about an hour. The stars shone like diamonds. Why is the train called the Ghan? A long time ago, Australians needed a way to travel to the middle of the country. They tried riding horses, but the horses didn't like the hot weather and sand. A hundred and fifty years ago, they brought some camels from Afghanistan. Ghan is short for Afghanistan. Camels were much better than horses for travelling a long distance. For many years, trained camels carried food and other supplies, and returned with wool and other products. The Afghans and their camels did this until the 1920s. Then the government built a new railway line, so they didn't need the camels any more. In 1925,they passed a law which allowed people to shoot the animals if they were a problem. In 1935, the police in a town shot 153 camels in one day.Moudle 4 A Social Survey –My Neighbourhood XL:A lively city It's great to see you again, John.JM:It's great to see you! It's been six years since we last saw each other, you know. And this is the first time I've visitedyour hometown.XL:Yes, I'm so glad you could come.JM:You know, I've seen quite a lot of China and I've visited some beautiful cities, but this is one of the most attractive places I've been to. It's so lively, and everyone seems so friendly.XL: Yes, it's one of the most interesting cities on the coast,everyone saysso. I feel very fortunate living here. And I love living by the seaside. JM:You live in the northwest of Xiamen, is that right?XL:Yes, that's right.JM:What's the climate like?XL:Pretty hot and wet in the summer, but it can be quite cold in the winter.JM:Sounds OK to me.There are a lot of tourists around.Don't they bother you? 、XL:Yes, they can be a nuisance in the summer because there are so many of them.JM:Oh, look at that huge apartment block!XL:Yes, they've just completed it. The rent for an apartment there is very high.JM:I believe you! This area's so modern!XL:Yes, this is the business district.They've put up a lot of high-rise buildings recently. And there are some great shopping malls. See, we're just passing one now. My wife's just bought a beautiful dress from one of the shops there.JM:Maybe I could buy a few presents there.XL:I'll take you there tomorrow. Now we're leaving the business district and approaching the harbour. We're entering the western district, the most interesting part of the city. It's got some really pretty parks ...JM:It seems lovely. Is that Gulangyu Island, just across the water?XL:Yes, it is.It's a gorgeous island with some really interesting architecture.JM:So they tell me. Do you think we could stop and walk around for a while?XL:Yes, I was just going to do that. We can park over there. A friend's told me about a nice little fish restaurant near here. Shall we go there for lunch?JM:That sounds great. I'm starving!Moudle 5 A lesson in a LabIt is hard to think of a world without metals. Different metals have different uses, for example, steel is used in cars, and iron is used in electrical equipment. When we use metals, it is importantto know how they react with different substances, for example, water and oxygen. Moudle 6 The Internet and Telecommunications The Internet is the biggest source of information in the world, and it's accessible through a computer. It consists of millions of pages of data. In 1969, DARPA, a U.S. defence organisation, developed a way for all their computers to "talk" to each other through the telephone. They created a network of computers called DARPANET.

The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “New here?” Turing around, I saw a white-haired man. “Yes,” I replied. “I’m wondering what life is going to be like here.” “Don’t worry,” he gave me a smile. “You’ll soon find out.”我来到的时候校园里还很安静，我决定四处探索一番。

当我正在看布告栏上的照片时，身后忽然传来一个声音：“你是新生吗？”我转过身，看到一位白发老人。

“是的，”我回答道，“我想知道这里的生活将是怎么样的。

”“别担心，”他对我微微一笑，“你很快就会知道了。

”How true these words were! When my English teacher stepped into the classroom, I was surprised to see the same man I had met earlier.这话说得真是太对了！当我的英语老师走进教室时，我很惊讶地发现，他就是我之前遇到的那位老人。

Unit 1 Laugh out loud!Understanding ideasThe Best Medicine最佳妙药1 As I approach the hospital wearing my white coat, I look just like any other doctor. That is until I put on my curly rainbow wig, big red nose, and add my name badge “Doctor Larry Laugh-Out-Loud”. I walk through the doors into the waiting area, where there’s a familiar atmosphere of boredom and tension. People sit uncomfortably on plastic chairs, looking through old magazines, all of which have been read hundreds of times previously. Anxious parents do what they can to comfort nervous and crying children.当我穿着白大褂走进医院时，我看起来和其他医生没什么两样——直到我戴上卷曲的彩虹色假发和大红鼻子，别上我的名牌“拉里，笑哈哈医生”。

Different metals have different uses, for example, steel is used in cars, and iron is used in electrical equipment. When we use metals, it is importantto know how they react with different substances, for example, water and oxygen.Moudle 6 The Internet and TelecommunicationsThe Internet is the biggest source of information in the world, and it's accessible through a computer. It consists of millions of pages of data. In 1969, DARPA, a . defence organisation, developed a way for all their computers to "talk" to each other through the telephone. They created a network of computers called DARPANET. For fifteen years, only the . army could use this system of communication. Then in 1984, the . National Science Foundation (NSF) started the NSFNET network. It then became possible for universities to use the system as well. NSFNET NSFNET became known as the Inter-Network, or "Internet". The World Wide Web (the web) is a computer network that allows computer users to access information from millions of websites via the Internet. At the moment, about 80 percent of web traffic is in English, but this percentage is going down. By 2020, much web traffic could be in Chinese. The World Wide Web was invented in 1991 by an English scientist, Tim Berners-Lee. Berners-Lee built his first computer while he was at university using an old television! He came up with the idea of the World Wide Web in 1989 while he was working in Switzerland. Berners-Leemade it possible for everyone to use the Internet, not just universities and the army. He designed the first "web browser", which allowed computer users to access documents from other computers. From that moment on, the web and the Internet grew. Within five years, the number of Internet users rose from 600 000 to 40 million. The Internet has created thousands of millionaires, but Berners-Lee is not one of them. Everyone in the world can access the Internet using his World Wide Web system. He now works as a lecturer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston.。

My First Day at Senior HighMy Name is Li Kang. I live in Shijiazhuang; a city not far from Beijing. It is the capital city of Hebei Province. Today is my first day at Senior High school and I'm writing down my thoughts about it.My new school is very good and I can see why. The teachers are very enthusiastic and friendly and the classrooms are amazing. Every room has a computer with a special screen; almost as big as a cinema screen. The teachers write on the computer; and their words appear on the screen behind them. The screens also show photographs; text and information from websites. They're brilliant The English class is really interesting. The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms Shen. We're using a new textbook and Ms Shen's method of teaching is nothing like that of the teachers at my Junior High school. She thinks that reading comprehension is important; but we speak a lot in class; too. And we have fun. I don't think I will be bored in Ms Shen's class Today we introduced ourselves to each other. We did this in groups. Some students were embarrassed at first but everyone was very friendly and it was really nice. Ms Shen gave us instructions and then we worked by ourselves.Ms Shen wants to help us improve our spelling and handwriting. We do this in a fun way; with spelling games and other activities. I like her attitude very much; and the behaviour of the other students shows that they like her; too. There are sixty-five students in my class--more thanmy previous class in Junior High. Forty-nine of them are girls. In other words; there are three times as many girls as boys. They say that girls are usually more hard-working than boys; but in this class; everyone ishard-working. For our homework tonight; we have to write a description of the street where we live. I'm looking forward to doing itMy New TeahcersThey say that first impressions are very important. My first impression of Mrs. Li was that she was nervous and shy. I think perhaps she was; as it was her first lesson with us. But now; after two weeks; the class really likes working with her. She's kind and patient; and she explains English grammar so clearly that even I can understand it She avoids making you feel stupid I've always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly when I speak English;but Mrs. Li just smiles; so that you don't feel completely stupid I think maybe she goes a bit too slowly for the faster students; but for me it's wonderful I feel I'm going to make progress with her.I'd guess that Mrs. Chen is almost sixty. She's very strict—we don't dare to say a word unless she asks us to. She's also very serious and doesn't smile much. When she asks you to do something; you do it immediately There are a few students in our class who keep coming to class late but they're always on time for Mrs. Chen's lessons Some of our class don't ike her; but most of us really appreciate her because herteaching is so well organised and clear. And a few students even admit liking her During scientific experiments; she explains exactly what is happening and as a result my work is improving. Physics will never be my favourite lesson; but I think that I’ll do well in the exam with Mrs Chen teaching me.Mr. Wu’s only been teaching us for two weeks and he’s already very popular. I think this is because he really enjoys teaching Chinese literature ---- he loves it; in fact He’s got so much energy; this is one class you do not fall asleep in He’s about28; I think; and is rather good-looking. He talks loudly and fast; and waves his hands about a lot when he gets excited. He’s really amusing and tells jokes when he thinks we’re getting bored. Even things like compositions and summaries are fun with Mr. Wu. I respect him a lot.My First Ride on a TrainMy name is Alice Thompson. I come from Sydney; Australia and I'm 18 years old. Recently I had my first ride on a long-distance train. And what a ride A friend and I travelled on the famous Ghan train. We got on in Sydney and we got off in Alice Springs; right in the middle of Australia; more than four thousand kilometres away. We spent two days and nights on the train.The train was wonderful and the food was great. We ate great meals cooked by experts For the first few hundred kilometres of the journey; thescenery was very colourful. There were fields and the soil was dark red. After that; it was desert. The sun shone; there was no wind and there were no clouds in the sky. Suddenly; it looked like a place from another time. We saw abandoned farms which were built more than a hundred years ago. The train was comfortable and the people were nice. During the day;I sat and looked out of the window; and sometimes talked to other passengers. I read books and listened to my Chinese cassettes I'm studying Chinese at school. One night; at about midnight; I watched the night sky for about an hour. The stars shone like diamonds.Why is the train called the Ghan A long time ago; Australians needed a way to travel to the middle of the country. They tried riding horses; but the horses didn't like the hot weather and sand. A hundred and fifty years ago; they brought some camels from Afghanistan. Ghan is short for Afghanistan. Camels were much better than horses for travelling a long distance. For many years; trained camels carried food and other supplies; and returned with wool and other products.The Afghans and their camels did this until the 1920s. Then the government built a new railway line; so they didn't need the camels any more. In 1925; they passed a law which allowed people to shoot the animals if they were a problem. In 1935; the police in a town shot 153 camels in one day.Module 4 A Social Survey –My Neighbourhood A lively cityIt's great to see you again; John.It's great to see you It's been six years since we last saw each other; you know. And this is the first time I've visited your hometown.Yes; I'm so glad you could come.You know; I've seen quite a lot of China and I've visited some beautiful cities; but this is one of the most attractive places I've been to. It's so lively;and everyone seems so friendly.Yes; it's one of the most interesting cities on the coast; everyone says so.I feel very fortunate living here. And I love living by the seaside. You live in the northwest of Xiamen; is that rightYes; that's right.What's the climate likePretty hot and wet in the summer; but it can be quite cold in the winter. Sounds OK to me. There are a lot of tourists around. Don't they bother youYes; they can be a nuisance in the summer because there are so many of them.Oh; look at that huge apartment blockYes; they've just completed it. The rent for an apartment there is very high.I believe you This area's so modernYes; this is the business district. They've put up a lot of high-risebuildings recently. And there are some great shopping malls. See; we're just passing one now. My wife's just bought a beautiful dress from one of the shopsthere. Maybe I could buy a few presents there.I'll take you there tomorrow. Now we're leaving the business district and approaching the harbour.We're entering the western district; the most interesting part of the city. It's got some really pretty parks...It seems lovely. Is that Gulangyu Island; just across the waterYes; it is. It's a gorgeous island with some really interesting architecture. So they tell me. Do you think we could stop and walk around for a while Yes; I was just going to do that. We can park over there.A friend's told me about a nice little fish restaurant near here. Shall we go there for lunch That sounds great. I'm starvingModule 5 A Lesson in a LabPassage AIt is hard to think of a world without metals. Different metals have different uses; for example; steel is used in cars; and iron is used in electrical equipment. When we use metals; it is important to know how they react with different substances; for example; water and oxygen. The reaction of metals with these substances can be put in order. Here is a table with the metals that react most at the top; and the metals that react least at the bottom.Passage B A Simple Scientific ExperimentBelow is a description of a simple scientific experiment. It shows us how iron reacts with air and with water.Aim: To find out if iron rusts a in dry air; b in water that has no air in it air-free water; c in ordinary water.Apparatus: 3 clean iron nails; test tubes; test tube holder;cotton wool; oil; Bunsen burner. Iron in dry airMethod1 Put some iron nails at the bottom of a test tube.2 Push some cotton wool down the tube.3 Leave the tube for one week.ResultAfter one week; the nails have not rusted.ConclusionIron does not rust in dry air.Iron in air-free waterMethod1 Half-fill a test tube with water.2 Boil the water for three minutes. This makes sure there is no air in the water.3 Put two or three clean nails in the water.4 Add some oil to the water. This will keep air out of the water.5 Leave the tube of one week.ResultThe nails do not rust in the tube with air-free water.ConclusionIron rusts in ordinary water.My feelings about science have really changed. I never used to enjoy science;but last year I changed schools;and the science teachers at my new school are excellent. The science facilities are very good;with laboratories that have all the latest equipment. Our chemistry teacher;Mr Longford;takes us to public science lectures about four times a term;and these are always very interesting; as the lecturers are people who have made real discoveries in their area of science. The fact is;Canada has many first-class scientists. In the last twenty years;seven Canadian scientists have won the Nobel PrizeThe Nobel Prize is the highest scientific prize there is;so we should be very proud of that. I’m becoming more and more interested in physics;and have decided that I want to study it at university. I’m going to try to go to either Montreal or Ottawa University;as both are supposed to have good Physics Departments. My parents are astonished. They always thought I would become an English teacherModule 1 Our Body and Healthy HabitsZhou Kai 1When Zhou Kai’s mother saw him heading towards the front door without a jacket on; she eyed him anxiously. “Zhou Kai; where are you going ” she asked. “To the park. I’m going to play football;” said Zhou Kai. “But it’s raining You’ll catch a bad cold;” said his mother. “No; I won’t. I’ll be fine;” said Zhou Kai; as he opened the door. “Zhou Kai; you’ll get ill. You know you will. You can at least go and get your jacket.” “OK; OK” Zhou Kai went and did as he was told.Zhou Kai 2My mother has always made sure we eat very healthily; and fresh fruit and vegetables are a very important part of our diet. We live near the sea and we have fish about four times a week. We don’t eat much fat or sugar.A lot of my school friends eat sweets every day but I’m lucky because I don’t have a sweet tooth ---- I’d rather eat a nice piece of fruit. And I’m not too heavy; so I never have to diet or anything like that.I’m quite healthy. I very rarely get colds; although; unusually for me;I had a bad cold and a bit of a fever last week. But that’s because I was stupid enough to play football in the rain. I don’t often get things like flu either.Last winter almost all my class mates got flu ----but I didn’t.I think I don’t get these things because I take a lot of exercise and am very fit.Two years ago I broke my arm playing football. The injury was quite painful and I couldn’t move my arm for month ----I hated that. So as you can see from what I’ve said; I’m a normal kind of person. But there’s one thing I really love ---- I’m crazy about football. I’m captain of the class team at school and I’m also a m ember of the Senior High team.Because of this; I make sure that I have a good diet; and as I’ve said; this isn’t a problem because my mother fe eds us so well.Module 2 No DrugsMy name is Adam Rouse. I'm 19 years old and I used to be a drug addict. I first started using drugs when I was 15. I bought cannabis from a man in the street. I continued to buy cannabis from the same man for about six months. One day; he offered me some crack cocaine.Cocaine is a powerfully addictive drug. Some drug users inject cocaine; others smoke it. Both ways are dangerous.Users who inject the drug are also in more danger if they share needles with other users.Crack cocaine is the most addictive form of cocaine. Users become addicted to crack cocaine much more easily if they smoke it. Smoking allows cocaine to reach the brain very quickly.When I went back to the man again; I wanted more crack cocaine. But he asked me for a lot of money. I didn't have enough money so he didn't give me any drugs. I was in terrible pain.The next day; I broke into a house and stole a television and a video recorder. I took them to the drug dealer. He told me to take them to a shop in a nearby street. The man in the shop gave me some money. I took the money to the drug dealer and he gave me some more crack cocaine.Using cocaine increases the user's heart rate and blood pressure. As a result; cocaine users sometimes have heart attacks. Smoking crack cocaine also causes anti-social behaviour.By this time; I was addicted to crack cocaine. If I didn't have any drugs; I was in terrible pain. And I had to steal something every day to pay for the drugs. One day; the police took me to the police station.The next day; a doctor came to see me. He told me that I could die if I didn't stop taking crack cocaine; so I took his advice and stopped immediately. Now I work in a centre for drug addicts; helping others to stop taking drugs.Module 3 MusicHaydn 海顿Joseph Haydn 1732 - 1809 was an Austrian composer and is known as "the father of the symphony". Other composers had written symphonies before Haydn; but he changed the symphony into a long piece for a large orchestra.He was born in a village in Austria; the son of a peasant. He had a beautiful singing voice. After studying music in Vienna; Haydn went towork at the court of a prince in eastern Austria; where he became director of music. Having worked there for 30 years; Haydn moved to London; where he was very successful.Mozart 莫扎特Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 1756 - 1791 was a composer; possibly the greatest musical genius of all time. He only lived 35 years and he composed more than 600 pieces of music.Mozart was born in Salzburg; Austria. His father Leopold was a musician and orchestra conductor. Wolfgang had musical talent from a very early age. He learned to play the harpsichord when he was four; he started composing music when he was five; and when he was six; he played the harpsichord in a concert for the Empress of Austria.By the time he was 14; Mozart had composed many pieces for the harpsichord; piano and violin; as well as for orchestras. While he was still a teenager; Mozart was already a big star and toured Europe giving concerts. Haydn met Mozart in 1781 and was very impressed with him. "He is the greatest composer the world has known;" he said the two were friends until Mozart's death in 1791.Beethoven 贝多芬Ludwig van Beethoven 1770 - 1827 was born in Bonn; Germany.He showed musical talent when he was very young; and learned to play the violin and piano from his father; who was a singer. Mozart metBeethoven and was impressed by him. "He will give something wonderfulto the world;" he said.Beethoven met Haydn in 1791; but was not impressed by the older man. After they had known each other for many years; Beethoven said; "He is a good composer; but he has taught me nothing." However; it was Haydn who encouraged Beethoven to move to Vienna.Beethoven became very popular in the Austrian capital and stayed there for the rest of his life. As he grew older; he began to go deaf. He became completely deaf during the last years of his life; but he continued composing.Module 4 Fine Arts-Western Chinese and Pop ArtsA．This is a painting by the Spanish artist; Pablo Picasso; considered to be the greatest western artist of the twentieth century.Picasso and another painter; George Braque; started Cubism; one of the most important of all modern art movements. Cubist artists painted objects and people; with different aspects of the object or person showing at the same time.BThis painting by contemporary American artist Roy Lichtenstein 1923 - 1997 is a world famous example of pop art. Pop art from the word "popular" was an important modern art movement that aimed toshow ordinary twentieth-century city life. For example; it shows things such as soup cans and advertisements.CQi Baishi 1863-1957; one of the China's greatest painters; followed the traditional Chinese style of painting. Chinese painting is known for its brush drawings in black inks and natural colours.Qi Baishi observed the world of nature very carefully; and his paintings are special because of this.DXu Beihong 1895-1953 was one of China's best-known twentieth-century artists. Like Qi Baishi; Xu painted in the traditional Chinese style. Both painters have a beautiful brush line.Xu Beihong believed that artists should show reality; but not just imitate it. Instead; a picture should try to show the "life" of its subject. He is most famous for his lively paintings of horses.E Wu HangI'm studying art at school; and I enjoy it a lot; although I can get tired of looking at pictures all the time.I'm crazy about the paintings of Qi Baishi; and this delightful picture of the little shrimps is such a lovely example of his work. But I can't stand that picture of a golden-haired girl. I think it's stupid.F Sarah HardwickMy parents are fond of going to art galleries and often take me with them; so I've developed an interest in art. I must say; I love that picture of the six horses. They look so alive. It's by a Chinese artist; isn't it I can tell by the style. I think the painting of the young girl is probably by Picasso. I really like him. I think he's an extraordinary artist.。

必修一Module 1 My First Day at Senior High My name is Li Kang. I live in Shijiazhuang, a city not far from Beijing. It is the capital city of Hebei Province. Today is my first day at Senior High school and I’m writing down my thoughts about it. My new school is very good and I can see why. The teachers are very enthusiastic and friendly and the classrooms are amazing. Every room has a computer with a special screen, almost as big as a cinema screen. The teachers write on the computer, and their words appear on the screen behind them. The screens also show photographs, text and information from websites. They’re brilliant! The English class is really interesting. The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms Shen. We’re using a new textbook and Ms Shen’s method of teaching is nothing like the teachers at my Junior High school. She thinks that reading comprehension is important, but we speak a lot in class, too. And we have fun. I don’t think I will be bored in Ms Shen’s class! Today we introduced ourselves to each other. We did this in groups. Some students were embarrassed at first but everyone was very friendly and it was really nice. Ms Shen gave us instructions and then we worked by ourselves. Ms Shen wants to help us improve our spelling and handwriting. We do this in a fun way, with spelling games and other activities. I like her attitude very much, and the behaviour of the other students shows that they like her, too. There are sixty-five students in my class — more than my previous class in Junior High. Forty-nine of them are girls. In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys. They say that girls are usually more hard-working than boys, but in this class, everyone is hard-working. For our homework tonight, we have to write a description of the street where we live. I’m looking forward to doing it! My After-school Activities .As the students of modern times, we have colorful school life. Everyday, we learn plenty of knowledge on different subjects in class. And our school organizes many extracurricular activities in order to help us put what we have learned into practice. After class, we take part in various activities, like playing football, basketball, badminton, etc. They are good for our health. Besides, we are able to join in the lectures organized by literature association, music group, art group, where you can enjoy famous works, learn to play instruments or draw pictures. Also, there are chances for us to use computers in the laboratory and talk with some foreign teachers about anything we are interested in at the English corner. Now, most of us may operate computers freely and have a good command of spoken English. In addition to the after-class activities mentioned here, there are still many others such as sports meeting, debate, social investigation, etc. All those activities make our school life attractive and interesting. We will take advantages of the experience in the future. Moudle 2 My New Teachers They say that first impressions are very important. My first impression of Mrs. Li was that she was nervous and shy. 人们常说第一印象很重要。李老师给我留下的第一印象是既紧张又胆怯。 I think perhaps she was, as it was her first lesson with us. But now, after two weeks, the class really likes working with her. 我想，可能她就是这样，因为这是她给我们上的第一节课。但是，过了两周了，全班学生真的喜欢上她的课。 She's kind and patient, and she explains English grammar so clearly that even I can understand it! 她非常和蔼，又有耐心，英语语法解释得如此清楚，连我都能够明白！ She avoids making you feel stupid! I've always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly when I speak English, 她避免让人感到愚笨！讲英语时，我总是憎恶出错或者是憎恶发音不正确， but Mrs. Li just smiles, so that you don't feel completely stupid! 但是，李老师只是笑一笑，因此，你不会感到完全愚笨！ I think maybe she goes a bit too slowly for the faster students, but for me it's wonderful! I feel I'm going to make progress with her. 我想可能对于好学生来说她的课进行得有点慢，但对我来说，真是太棒了！我觉得我跟着她学习肯定将取得进步。 I'd guess that Mrs. Chen is almost sixty. She's very strict—we don't dare to say a word unless she asks us to. She's also very serious and doesn't smile much. 我猜想陈老师几乎快 60 岁了。她很严格――――除非她让我们讲话，我们一句话也不敢说。她还很严肃，很少微笑。 When she asks you to do something, you do it immediately! 当她要求你做某事时，你就马上去做！ There are a few students in our class who keep coming to class late but they're always on time for Mrs. Chen's lessons! 陈老师的课，我们班几位不断迟到的学生，总是准时上陈老师的课。 Some of our class don't ike her, but most of us really appreciate her because her teaching is so well organised and clear. And a few students even admit liking her! 我们班有的同学不喜欢她，但大多数同学都很欣赏她，因为她的课讲得很清楚、教学组织得又好。一些学生甚至承认喜欢她！ During scientific experiments, she explains exactly what is happening and as a result my work is improving. 在做科学实验时，她对发生的现象解释得很准确，因此，我在实验方面在取得进步。 Physics will never be my favourite lesson, but I think that I’ll do well in the exam with Mrs Chen teaching me. 物理绝对不是我最喜欢的科目，但我想由陈老师教我，我会考出好成绩。 Mr. Wu’s only been teaching us for two weeks and he’s already very popular. I think this is because he really enjoys teaching Chinese literature ---吴老师仅仅教过我们两个礼拜，他已经很受欢迎了。我想这是因为他的确喜欢教中国文学 he loves it, in fact! He’s got so much energy, this is one class you do not fall asleep in! He’s about 28, I think, and is rather good-looking. 实际上，他喜爱中国文学！他精力是那样充沛，上他的课，你不会想睡觉（不会感到困倦） ！我想他大约 28 岁，长得很帅。 He talks loudly and fast, and waves his hands about a lot when he gets excited. He’s really amusing and tells jokes when he thinks we’re getting bored. 他讲话语速快、声音洪亮，当讲到兴奋的时候，不时挥手。他上课真很有趣，当他认为我们疲倦的时候，就给我们讲笑话。 Even things like compositions and summaries are fun with Mr. Wu. I respect him a lot. 即使是象作文和总结这样的事情，吴老师也搞得很有趣。我很尊敬他。
