He lost his arm but is still climbingAaron Ralston is an American man who is interested in mountain climbing.As a mountain climber, Aron is used to taking risks.This is 1 of the exciting things about doing dangerous sports.There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents.On April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very dangerous situation when climbing in utah.On that day, Aron's arm was caught under a 360 kilo rock that fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains.Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for 5 days and hoped that someone would find him.But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life.He was not ready to die that day.So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm.Then with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much blood.After that he climbed down the mountain to find help.After losing his arm, he wrote a book called between a rock and a hard place.This means being in a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of.In this book, Aron tells us the importance of making good decisions and of being in control of one's life.His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience.Do we have the same spirit as Aron?Let's think about it before we find ourselves "between a rock and a hard place," and before we have to make a decision that could mean life or death.Dear Miss Li,I'd like to thank you for giving money to animal helpers.I'm sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me.You helped to make it possible for me to have lucky.Lucky makes a big difference to my life.Let me tell you my story.What would it be like to be blind or deaf?Or imagine you can't walk or use your hands easily.Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties.I can't use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me.Then 1 day last year, our friend of mine helped me out.She talked to animal helpers about getting me a special trained dog.She also thought a dog might cheer me up.I love animals and I was excited about the idea of having a dog.After 6 months of training with a dog at animal helpers, I was able to bring him home.My dog's name is lucky --a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him.You see, I'm only able to have a" dog helper"because of your kindness!Lucky is very clever and understands many English words.He can understand me when I give him orders.For example, I say," Lucky! Get my book," and he does it at once.Lucky is a fantastic dog.I will send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me.Thank you again for changing my life.Best wishes,Ben SmithDear sir，I do not understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home.Kids these days already have enough stress from school.They do not have time to study and do housework too.Housework is a waste of their time.Could we just let them do their job as students?They should spend their time on school work in order to get good grades and get into agood university.Also when they get older they will have to do housework, so there is no need for them to do it now.It is the parents' job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children.And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult.I do not mind doing them. Ms MillerDear sir,I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework.It is not enough to just get good grades at school.Children these days depend on their parents too much.They are always asking, "Could you get this for me?" or" Could you help me with that?"Doing chores helps to develop children's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves.It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness.Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy.Our neighbors' son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself.As a result, he often felt ill and his grades dropped.The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.Mr SmithMaybe you should learn to relax!These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after -school classes.Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university.Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win.However, this doesn't only happen in China.The Taylors are a typical American family.Life for Cathy Taylor's 3 children is very busy." On most days after school, "Cathy says,"I take 1 of my 2 boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training.Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons.Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children's future.I really want them to be successful."However, the tired children don't get home until after 7 PM.They have a quick dinner and then it's time for homework.Linda Miller a mother of 3, knows all about such stress."In some families competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older", she says."Others send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It's crazy. I don't think that's fair.Why don't they just let their kids, be kids?People shouldn't push their kids so hard."Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child's development.Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children."Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too.Although it's normal to want successful children, it's even more important to have happy children."Do You Remember What You Were Doing?People often remember what they were doing when they heard the news of importantevents in history.In America, for example, many people remember what they were doing on April 4,1968.This was an important event in the American history.On this day, Dr Martin Luther King was killed.Although some people may not remember who killed him, they remember what they were doing when they heard the news.Robert Allen is now over 50, but he was a school pupil at that time."I was at home with my parents," Robert remembers."We were eating dinner in the kitchen when we heard the news on the radio.The news reporter said 'doctor king died just a few minutes ago.'My parents were completely shocked!My parents didn't talk after that, and we finished the rest of our dinner in,silence."More recently, most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists. The date ---September 11, 2001---has meaning to most Americans.This was a day, Kate Smith will never forget.She remembers working in her office near the two towers."My friend shouted that a plane just hit the world trade center!I didn't believe him at first,but then I looked out of the window and realized that it was true.I was so scared that I could hardly think clearly after that."It's 8:30 AM at the chengdu research base.Panda keepers are preparing milk for the baby pandas' breakfast.At 9 AM, they find that most of the babies are already awake and hungry.When the babies see the keepers, they run over to them with excitement and some of the young pandas even walk into their friends and fall over!Lin wei, 1 of the panda keepers, says, "They are so cute and lovely. I take care of them like they are my own babies. I wash,feed and play with them every day.They are very special to me."In fact, many people around the world love these black and white animals.Pandas have become so popular that they are now a symbol of China.Scientists say there are now fewer than 2000 pandas living in the forests.Another 300 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries.Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only 1 every 2 years.The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day, eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down these forests.As the forests get smaller and other human activities cause more problems, pandas can not find enough to eat and they are having fewer babies.An education program in cheng du teaches children about pandas and other endangerd wild animals.They send people to schools to tell children about the importance of saving these animals.And the Chinese government is trying hard to help save the pandas.Scientists are doing research to better understand the habits of pandas.We all hope that in the future there will be a lot more pandas.A Country Music Song Changed Her Life ForeverWhen Sarah was a teenager, she used to fight over almost everything with her family.But 5 years ago while she was studying abroad in England, she heard a song full of feelings about returning home on the radio.It made Sarah think about her family and friends back in the US. Shecame to realize how much she actually missed all of them.Ever since then she has been a fan of American country music.Country is a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America.Nashville Tennessee is the home of country music.Many songs these days are just about modern life in the US, such as the importance of money and success, but not about belonging to a group.However , country music brings us back to the "good old days" when people were kind to each other and trusted one another.It reminds us that the best things in life are free---laughter, friends, family and the beauty of nature and the countryside.Sarah hasn't been to Nashville yet, but it is her dream to go there one day.She has already read a lot about the place and done some research on it.She knows that there is the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.There are also always a lot of great country music concerts with famous musicians and singers, like Garth Brooks. Sarah has already listened to most of his songs."Garth is one of the most successful musicians in American history.He has sold more than 120 million records.I hope to see him sing live one day!"Singapore---A Place You Will Never ForgetHave you ever been to Singapore? For thousands of tourists from China, this small island in southeast Asia is a wonderful and safe place to take a holiday. On the one hand, more than three quarters of the population are Chinese, so you can simply speak Putong hua a lot of the time.On the other hand, Singapore is an English- speaking country, so it's also a good place to practice your English!Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China? Maybe you fear that you won't be able to find anything good to eat when you travel.In Singapore, however you will find a lot of food from China; you won't have any problem getting rice, noodles or dumplings. Singapore is also an excellent place to try new food.Whether you like iIdian food, Western food or Japanese food, you will find it all in Singapore!Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night? Singapore has a Night Safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than in a normal zoo.One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round. This is because the island is so close to the equator.So you can choose to go whenever youlike---spring, summer, autumn or winter.And, of course, it's not too far from China!Hometown FeelingsSome people still live in their hometown.However, others may only see it once or twice a year.Nowadays, millions of Chinese leave the countryside to search for work in the cities.Among this is zhong wei, a 46- year- old husband and father.He has lived in Wenzhou for the last 13 years.With a hard job in a crayon factory, he doesn't find much time to visit his hometown."I used to return home at least once a year, but I haven't been back for almost 3 years now.It's a shame, but I just don't have the time ,"he says.Many people like Zhong Wei regards with great interest how their hometowns have changed.Perhaps large hospitals and new roads have appeared.In many places, the government has also built new schools and sent teachers from the cities to help."I noticed that's true of my hometown," adds Zhong Wei. "Children have learned to read and count at my old primary school since the mid -20th century.But now the buildings are really old.I hear they are going to build a new school there."Zhong Wei thinks such developments are good, and he also knows that his hometown cannot always stay the same.According to zhong wei, however, some things will never change."In my hometown, there was a big old tree opposite the school.It is still there and has become quite a symbol of the place.Most of the children in my time liked to play together under that big tree, especially during the summer holidays.It was such a happy childhood.Our hometown has left many soft and sweet memories in our hearts."。

I bet you'd love to know what daily life is like up in space and how it differs from that on the Earth—the low gravity definitely makes ordinary things strange!1.wouldbe astronaut's dream准宇航员的梦想2.a challenging but magical adventure. 充满挑战但神奇的冒险The strangeness of living in space is apparent from the moment we sleep.Due to the near absence of gravity in space, we have to attach ourselves so that we don't float around. We usually sleep in private quarters, which are more like large cupboards, or in sleeping bags attached to the walls or the ceiling. It's strange that we try to sleep with no pressure against our back, but the unusual beds don't bother us any more. After about eight hours of sleep, we start our day of work.3.strangeness≈unusualness4.be apparent from明显不同于5.Due to the near absence of gravity in space, we have to attach ourselves so that we don't float around.由于太空中几乎没有重力，我们必须附着自己，这样我们就不会漂浮。

Unit 9The Risks of LifeI.Teaching Aims1. Functions: Offering & responses2. Grammatical Points: V- replacing be, have as action verb, indefinite quantifiers some/any, it + adj. + to do/that clause3. Vocabulary: anticipate, make sense, assume, alike, hear about/of vs. hear something, break, suffer fromII.Teaching AidMulti-mediaIII.Teaching Arrangement6 class hoursIV.Teaching ProcedureStep 1: Listening & Speaking1. In this part, we are going to learn how to make an offer and respond to the offer.Making OffersThere are several ways of offering something to someone:1 A polite way of offering something to someone is to say "Would you like ... ?" If you know the person well, you can use the less polite form "Do you want ... ?", or just use a noun group, making it sound like a question as: "Tea?"2 If you want to offer to help someone or to do something for them, you say "Shall I ... ?" / "May I ... ?", to a customer, you say "Can I ...?"3 If you are fairly assured that the other person wants to have something done for them, you can say "Let me ... ". If you are not sure whether the other person wants you to do something, you can say "Would you like me ... ?" But, this sounds as if you are reluctant to do what you are offering to do.4 In some circumstances, it may be appropriate to make a very formal and polite offer like: "I should very much appreciate it if you allow me to ..."Responding to Offers1 The usual way of accepting an offer is to say "Y es, please.". Y ou can also say "Thank you.", or informally "Thanks."2 If you want to show that you are very grateful for an offer, especially an unexpected one, you can say "Oh, thank you, that would be great.", or "That would be lovely.", or more formally "That's very kind of you."3 The usual way of refusing an offer is to say "No, thank you.", or informally "No, thanks."Common expressions of making offers：Is there anything else you would like me to do?If I can be of any help, please don't hesitate to let me know.If it would be of any help, I could park the car for you.Would you like any help to call a taxi?Could I turn on the light for you?I'll post the letter for you if you like.Let me give you a hand with the dishes.If you like I could carry the suitcase for you.Shall I help you to prepare the dinner?Do you want me to make coffee for you?Common responses to offers：I would be extremely grateful if you could.That would be very kind of you. Thank you.That's great. Thank you.Y ou've done me a favor.Thank you all the same.I really appreciate your help.I don't know what I would have done without your help.Y ou're so considerate. Thank you.Thank you very much.Thanks.That's very kind of you, but I think I can manage.No, it's all right. Thank you.2.
