Section ⅠListening and Speaking听音填空/You’re My Best Friend//你是我最好的朋友/ 《You’re My Best Friend》是英国皇后乐队(Queen)演唱的一首非常轻快的英文歌。

整体感觉就像是海边的椰子树下，一帮好友躺在沙滩上，弹着琴喝着果汁儿，不用刻意地去说“You’re my best friend．”。

在巴西各地的狂欢节中，尤以里约热内卢狂欢节为世界上最著名、最令人神往的盛会。

26 February，Rio Carnival，BrazilThe summer heat hit me as soon as I got off the flight. No wonder people from Rio take a week off for this happy occasion. I could feel it already—the Carnival was in the air!To experience the spirit of the Carnival for myselfI went to a street party. LuckilyI arrived just in time—the show was about to begin as I took my place in the merry①crowd. I could see a group of around 20 Brazilian dancers and a band in fancy costumes standing in the street. Some of them carried flags，which blew in the wind. The crowd waited with excitement.Then there was an explosion②of bright colours and lively music，and the group jumped into action. The band started playing an energetic samba beat，the dancers twisted③ and turned，and the crowd began to cheer，clap and sing.The whole group started marching down the street. The Carnival current carried us through the ever －growing sea of people，dancing all the way. Iceboxes of soft drinks and beer lined the narrow streets，and the smell of roasted meat filled the air as we passed waveafter wave of street stands. I was so caught up in④ the party fever that I hardly noticed five hours fly by!Even as I lay in bed that evening，the bright colours and lively music were still swimming all around me.

课时作业(一)Unit1SectionⅠStarting out& Understanding ideasⅠ.阅读理解AOne Moore Elementary School teacher is showing students the importance of communication through“shout­outs”．The third­grade teacher Lindsey Winders said a shout­out is a compliment(称赞)that students can say or write down.“Like,‘Hey,I noticed you doing a really great job solving your maths problems yesterday.I wanted to make sure you know that I saw you do that，’”Winders said.Winders said she makes sure she is giving shout­outs to her students every day.“I might write them a sticky note,or write them a quick little note in their planner.I might just say it to them on their way into the classroom or on their way out of the classroom.But most importantly,I try to do it every day，”Winders said.In addition to the compliments,Winders has the students greet each other every morning during the morning meeting.She will have students give examples to the class of how to communicate in different settings(场景).A third­grade student Nayelli Moranchel said he had given at least six shout­outs this year.“It makes me happy,because they always write something back，”Moranchel said.Recently,Winders took it one step further and wrote a personalised note on each of her students' desks.“In our classroom,sometimes it can be challenging for me to give a compliment or a shout­out to each and every one of them in a way that is equal and valuable at the same time.So I decide that there is no better way than leaving a note on their desks that can stay for as long as they want it to，”Winders said.Winders said it is encouraging when she sees her students copy the act and give each other compliments without her guidance.1．What does the underlined word“that”in Paragraph2mean?A．Giving a shout­out.B．Solving maths problems.C．Teaching important lessons.D．Writing down the names of students.2．How does Winders show her students the importance of compliments?A．By helping them take notes.B．By making practical plans for them.C．By serving as a daily example herself.D．By greeting them during the morning meeting.3．What is the best way that Winders finds to give her students compliments?A．Leaving a note on each student's desk.B．Praising them as long as they want it.C．Explaining the value of compliments.D．Giving them shout­outs at the same time.4．What can we infer about Winder's way of praising students?A．It is very successful.B．It is facing challenges.C．It needs proper guidance.D．It is copied by other teachers.BOne of the hardest things to do when you are a small child is to start school,and have a new teacher every year.I remember when I was in the fourth grade,there were tons of rumours(谣言) about my teacher.They said that he would hit kids with erasers. Nothing_could_be_farther_from_the_truth,_and to this day I still remember him as one of those people who really helped me in life.One of the things that you can do to help your kids get ready for a new teacher is to go to meet him or her before the year starts.This allows students to know who the teacher is,and break the ice.It is common for students to be fearful of the teacher for the first few days.Maybe he or she looks scary(可怕的).However,as a parent,you need to teach your kids that teachers are people too, and that they want nothing but the best for students in life.If your child is still having trouble adjusting to(适应)a teacher,you could ask your child to be taught by a different teacher.Adjusting to teachers can be an uncertain thing for a young child.Whether your child knows nothing about this person,or maybe he has heard a rumour about him,it can be a scary thing.As a parent,all you can do is to make sure that your children know the teacher is there to help,not be scary.5．When the author was in the fourth grade,he________.A．liked his teacher very muchB．got little help from his teacherC．got along well with his classmatesD．was hit by his teacher with erasers6．What does the underlined part in the first paragraph probably mean?A．Nothing can be true in the world.B．Truth lies in the rumours.C．What they said was wrong.D．They did well in their lessons.7．At the beginning of the school year,kids are most probably________.A．excited B．fearfulC．surprised D．proud8．This passage is mainly written for________.A．teachers B．parentsC．students D．kidsⅡ.阅读七选五How to make friends at a new schoolStarting with a new school can be difficult.Everything is nothing like your previous school,and you don't even know where to go for your own classes.__1__However,if you use these skills,you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.Be yourself.__2__If some people don't accept you,they're not the kind of friends you need.People often stay together because they have similar interests.For example,someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.__3__Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school.If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad,do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you.Also,remember to be as helpful as possible!Believe in yourself.A smile goes a long way.When you walk in the halls,don't keep your eyes on the floor.Raise your head and make eye contact(接触)with other people.__4__Introduce yourself.Tell them your name and where you're from.Remember people's names.You like it when people use your name,and so do other people.__5__Besides,ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname(昵称).You'd be amazed how often this might come in handy.A．People may become angry if you just begin by saying“Hey”each time.B．Be friendly to others.C．Join after­school activities you like.D．Making new friends can be hard,too.E．Don't sit at the back of the classroom where other people don't notice you!F．If you see someone you know,smile or say“Hi”．G．Never change who you are to try and fit in.课时作业(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解A【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了三年级老师用自己的实际言行引导学生用称赞他人来互相鼓励、共同进步的故事。

Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Pre­readingDo you know Wilma Rudolph who is deaf and dumb? And what did she do to try to get over the difficulties? Please read the following passage to get the answers.They called her “the Black Pearl”，“the Black Gazelle”and “the fastest woman in the world”. In 1960, Wilma Rudolph became the first American woman to win three gold medals in one Olympics. She was an extraordinary American athlete. She also did a lot to help young athletes succeed.Wilma Rudolph was born in 1940, in Saint Bethlehem, Tennessee. She was born too early and only weighed two kilograms. She had many illnesses when she was very young, including pneumonia and scarlet fever. She also had polio, which damaged her left leg. When she was six years old, she began to wear metal leg braces (支架) because she could not use that leg.Every week, Wilma's mother drove her to a special doctor 80 kilometers away. Here, she got physical treatments to help heal her leg. She later said, “My doctorstold me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.”Soon, her family's care showed results. By the time she was 9 years old, she no longer needed her leg braces. Wilma was very happy, because she could now run and play like other children. When she was 11 years old, her brothers set up a basketball hoop in the backyard. After that, she played basketball every day.Wilma Rudolph went to her first Olympic Games when she was 16 years old and still in high school. She was the youngest member of the United States team. She won a bronze medal in the sprint (短跑) relay event.In 1957, Wilma Rudolph started studying at Tennessee State University, where she joined the track team. She did very well at her track competitions against teams from other colleges. In 1960, she set the world record for the fastest time in the 200­meter event. She said，“I ran and ran and ran every day, and I acquired this sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never give up, no matter what else happened.”That same year, Wilma Rudolph went to the Olympics again, this time in Rome, Italy. She won two gold medals in the 100­meter and the 200­meter races. She set a new Olympic record of 23.2 seconds for the 200­meter dash. Her team also won the gold medal in the 400­meter sprint relay event, setting a world record of 44.5 seconds. These three gold medals made her one of the most popular athletes at the Rome Games. These victories made people call her the “world's fastest woman”．Warming Up1．Look at the following pictures and fill in the blanks.(1)Tai Lihua, who is deaf and dumb, is well­received as a famous dancer throughout China.(2)Though blind,_Yang Guang is a young singer and a splendid mimic, who is good at imitating famous figures.(3)Stephen Hawking is one of the greatest scientists all over the world, who is suffering from a severe disease.(4)Zhang Haidi, recovering from a serious disease and getting paralyzed, now is a marvelous writer and translator in our country.2.What attitudes should we take towards the disabled?First of all, we should treat them as normal people and don't look down upon them.
