Unit 5Rhythm(1)Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhen I was a very little child，I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world.I would say to myself，“When I grow up，when I can become rich，I’ll save kids all over the world.”At the age of 17，I began my career here in America，and by 18，I started my first charity organization.I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years，and met，helped，and even lost some of the most beautiful souls，from six­year­old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia(白血病)—her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors，to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer，which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF)．We’re all human.And we all just want a chance：a chance at life，a chance in education，a chance at a future，really.And at CLF，our mission is to impact as many lives as possible，but it starts with just one.People make it seem too hard to do charity work.The truth is，you don’t have to be rich to help others.You don’t need to be famous.You don’t even have to be college­educated.But it starts with your neighbor，the person right next to you，the person sitting next to you in class，the kid down the block in your neighborhood.You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.And today，I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person，one organization，one situation that touches your heart.My grandmother always used to say，“If you’ve got a dollar，there’s plenty to share.”1．What did the author want to do at a young age?A．Watch TV. B．Grow up quickly.C．Become wealthy. D．Help other children.答案D解析细节理解题。

Unit5《Rhythm》lesson1 Performance[心灵鸡汤] The Tattooed Child仅仅根据一个人的外表而做出的判断，往往是不准确的。

一个有着纹身的“坏”男孩的内心与其他孩子相比并没有不同，他们都同样渴望被人关怀。

I had brought my six-year-old daughter, Elli, to the hospital. We sat in the chair waiting for our turn. When a stranger first walked in, I instinctively moved closer to Elli. He was very tall and strong. His head was shaved and he wore several earrings in his ears and nose. On one arm there was a huge tattoo. He sat near us, which made me uncomfortable.Elli didn’t seem to feel the same. She quickly made friends with the stranger, whose name was Anthony. I opened a children’s book and read to Elli. When I was reading, Elli was drawing on one of the young man’s arms with her markers. Suddenly I noticed that An thony’s left arm was completely covered with red and blue flowers."Elli!"I said loudly. "I don’t think Anthony is going to like that. You’ll have to wash that off for him right away！"I was afraid of what this big, tough boy might say or do to my little girl.But Anthony said softly, "It’s OK. I don’t mind. Could you read more? It helps me."And then I saw what my daughter saw —Anthony wasn’t any different from any of the other children in that room who were in pain, who had come for treatment, except for one thing. It wasn’t his size or his clothes or even his scary tattoo that made him different. What set him apart, I realized, was that he didn’t have a mother there to read to him. And he needed one.Notes:1. tattoo v. 纹身2. marker n. 记号笔[影音留声] The Benchwarmers(II)[阅读练习] Food[写作点评] The Killer BeanThis picture may seem familiar. Get up in the morning and go into the kitchen—you begin your day with a cup of coffee. But what is the real story behind this dark brown liquid? Much of today’s coffee is grown in such a way that it damages the environment, although it has been proven that there are far less harmful methods.For good growth, coffee must have shade from nearby trees and overhead growth, but it also requires at least two hours of sunlight each day. But this changed in 1970, when U.S. agricultural scientists decided to develop a new, high-yield coffee plant that grew only in the full sun. With this plant, nothing can grow in the fields besides the coffee bushes. As the rain-forests disappear, so do the animals, especially birds. One study finds that bird species in coffee plantations have decreased by 94-97 percent since many farmers switched to sun-grown plantations.What then is the solution? Growing coffee on shade plantations is a good idea. Shade farms can cultivate other crops and save soil. Another advantage of shade farms is that animals can live around these areas safely."Green"coffee from shade farms is becoming more and more popular now. Shade plantations benefit both the workers and the environment. They also make coffee drinkers healthier.Notes:1. plantation n. 种植园2. switch to 转换为3. cultivate v. 耕作[ 影音留声] The Benchwarmers(I)[ 阅读练习] History and Geography[ 写作点评] The Aloha StateMore than any other state, Hawaii is world-famous for its beauty and pleasant climate.

Goddess of Mercy With a Thousand HandsA troupe (表演团) of 21 dancers makes a Buddhist (佛教徒) image come to life.They live in a world of silence，but they never complain about what fate (命运) has brought them.Instead，they keep smiling，and prove with their artistic talent and optimistic attitude that being disabled can inspire something beautiful.That's how the astonishing dance known as Goddess of Mercy With a Thousand Hands(千手观音) came into being.In the less­than­six­minute show，21 deaf dancers make what has been an abstract Buddhist image into a tangible (可感知的) being with kind eyes，a variety of hand postures and a spirituality that personifies the benevolence of theAvalokitesvara Bodhisattva or Goddess of Mercy.Many find it hard to believe the performers are deaf girls.The latest performance is part of a package titled My Dream，put together by the China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe to commemorate (纪念) World Disabled Day.Unlike previous(先前的) shows，the troupe features new faces this time，with dancers all aged around 15，according to their sign­language instructor，Li Wenqian.Since it was established，the troupe has performed in over 70 countries and districts.With the Thousand Hands Dance as its calling card，the troupe has established a charity foundation called My Dream.In the past three years，it has donated 8.5 million yuan to domestic (国内的) charities and some 815，000 yuan to international causes.阅读上文并回答下列问题1．How many dancers consist of the image?【答案】212．What do you think of My Dream?【答案】略SectionⅠReading(Ⅰ) (Warm­up & Lesson 1)[新生词汇初识]Ⅰ.匹配下列单词的词性及汉语意思1．effect A．vt.使失望2．disappoint B．n.效果，作用3．extraordinary C．adj.非凡的，特别的4．unclear D．n.表演；演奏5．performance E．adj.不清楚的6．extremely F．adj.有创造力的，创造性的7．creative G．n.听众；观众8．powerful H．adv.极端地，非常地9．audience I．vt.使(人)印象深刻10．impress J．adj.强大的，有力的【答案】1－5 BACED 6－10 HFJGIⅡ.选择下列句中相应词组的汉语意思2．You can find the new hospital at the end of the street.3．Let me add a few words to the letter before you seal (封) the envelope up.4．How did your mother react to the news?
