九年级上Unit1-8沪教牛津版（深圳）Unit1Archimedes and the golden crownOne day in ancient Greece,King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown.At first,he was very happy with it.“It’s a nice crown,isn’t it?”he asked his ter,however,he began to doubt that it was a real golden crown.“Is it made completely of gold?”he wondered.He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.“This problem seems difficult to solve.What should I do?”thought Archimedes.“Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water.When he got into the bath,some water ran over.“That’s it!”shouted Archimedes.“I know how to solve the king’s problem!”Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king.First,he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight.Next,he put two pots into two big bowls and filled both pots with water.He put the gold into one pot and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot.This time,even more water ran into the bowl.“Look at this,”said Archimedes to King Hiero.“A crown made completely of gold displaces less water than a crown made of gold and another metal.This crown displaced more water than gold of the same weight,so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.”“The crown maker tricked me,didn’t he?What a bad man he is!”shouted King Hiero.He then sent the crown maker to prison.短语汇集1.(be)happy with（对某人或事物）满意的=be pleased/satisfiedwith2.fill…with…用……把……装满3.think about=consider考虑；思考4.be filled with=be full of充满；装满5.run over溢出6.ask sb for sth向某人要某物7.one…the other…一个……另一个……8.send sb to prison把某人关进监狱9.tell the truth说实话10.make sure确保；设法保证11.something else别的东西12.both…and………和……都……13.be made of+看得见的原材料由……制成14.be made from+看不见的原材料由……制成15.be made by+sb.被某人制成考点1词性变换real（adj.）真的--really（adv.）真地golden（adj.）金色的--gold（adj./n）金的，金子completely（adv.）完完全全地，彻底地--complete （adj./v.）完全的，完成，结束certain（adj.）确实，确定的--certainly（adv.）无疑，确定，当然考点2be happy with sb./sth意为“对某人或事物满意的”，=be pleased/satisfied with sb./sthHis teacher is happy with him.他的老师对他很满意。

九年级外研版下册英语课文原文Module 1 Unit 1Listen and read.Lingling: Welcome back, everyone!Betty: Hi Lingling! How was your holiday?Lingling: Not bad! I went to Henan Province. But the trip back was very long. The train was full of people, and I had to stand for over six hours.Betty: Bad luck. Where's Tony?Daming: He's staying with his family in the UK, and flying back tomorrow. Theflights were late today.Betty: Why is travel so difficult in winter?Lingling: Well, it's the busiest season in China because of Spring Festival. Where did you go, Daming?Daming: We flew to Hong Kong —and the flight was late! But we took the boat to Landau Island and went to Disneyland.Lingling: How about you, Betty?Betty: We had quite a good time in Beijing. We went sightseeing by bus and by taxi. And last weekend, we took a tour by coach to the Summer Palace and went for a long walk.Daming: And now, better get back to work ... We've got exams at the end of the term.Betty: Yes, but there are plenty of fun things to do this term ... the school trip ... Lingling: ... and the school leavers' party ...Daming: ... the visit to the English-speaking theatre in Beijing ...Lingling: And our trip to Los Angeles! We'll have a great time!Module 1 Unit 2Look at the phrases from the passage. What do you think the passage will be about?%a.1 ... his first long trip by train ...b.2 ... leaving his village and his home ...c.4 ... sitting in Lin's seat.d.6 Slowly the young man stood up ...e.5 This young man has the right ticket ...f. 3 With tears in his eyes ...Read the passage and number the phrases in the order they happen.Excuse Me. You're Sitting in My Seat!The train to Beijing! Lin often dreamed about the train, and about going to the capital. Now it was in front of him, to set off soon. He looked at his brother."Don't forget where you come from, little brother," Jin said. "And watch your bags carefully."Lin nodded, unable to speak. This was his first long trip by train at the start of his new life, leaving his village and his home for the last 16 years.He held Jin in his arms. With tears in his eyes, Jin pushed Lin away. "Go, brother. Write to us as soon as you get there, OK?"Lin jumped onto the train. There were people and bags everywhere. He pushed past them towards his seat.A young man was sitting in Lin's seat. He was wearing jeans and a very smart jacket, and was smoking a cigarette.What should he do? Six pairs of eyes looked at Lin, while the man looked out of the window."Sir, you're sitting in my seat," Lin said, with a nervous smile. The other people watched with interest.The man didn't turn to look at Lin, but just looked out of the window."Excuse me. I have a ticket with the number of the seat you're sitting in!" Lin said in a stronger voice."I also have a ticket with that number—though it is in another car. Besides, I was here first," said the man, without moving his head. Though he was sitting, he looked very tall and strong.Lin looked at the other passengers for help. "But ... " he started to say."But what?" The man turned and looked at Lin. "I'm not moving."Finally a man wearing glasses spoke in a loud voice. "This young man has the right ticket for that seat. You should move."Lin felt brave. "See? Please move. I've got a long way to go.""How long?" the young man asked."To the last stop, Beijing.""I'm getting off before you. Then you can have my seat. ""Where is that?" asked Lin."Hangzhou."Lin thought Hangzhou was far away."It's seven hours away from here," the man with glasses said. "Even if it's only 10 minutes, you should move."Slowly the young man stood up, dropped his cigarette on the floor, and disappeared down the train.Module 2 Unit 1Listen and read.Betty: Hey, Tony! How was the UK?Tony: Guess what! I saw Sally in London.Lingling: My pen friend Sally?Tony: Yes, Sally, the girl who visited us last year and played in the orchestra. Lingling: Oh, that's fantastic! How is she?Tony: She's fine. It was great to see her again. I really like her.Betty: Did you do anything interesting while you were there? Did you visit herschool?Tony: Yes, I did. She took me there herself.Betty: What's it like?Tony: Here you are! These are some photos of Park School. I took them myself. Lingling: Let's have a look.Tony: It isn't as big as ours. It's only got about 700 pupils.Lingling: And how many pupils are there in a class?Tony: Thirty.Lingling: Wow!Tony: Most classes have got a computer and Internet. And there are a fewscience laboratories, and a large library. And there's a swimming pool and a huge sports ground.Lingling: But Sally likes music.Tony: Well, there's a music room, too. And they have a hall for concerts. Lingling: Which school is better, our school or Park School?Tony: Both schools are very nice. And neither school has anything the otherhasn't got. But ...Betty: But what ...?Tony: ... but I prefer our school!Daming: I bet we're even better than Park School at English!Lingling: Well, anyway, we're all going to get top grades for English!Module 2 Unit 2Read the passage and write a short title for each photo.My School LifeMy name is Sally Maxwell, and I'm 15. I've been at Park School, London since Iwas 11. If I pass my exams next year, I'll stay here until I'm 18.Park School is a secondary school, about 20 minutes by bike away from home. Before I came here, I went to primary school, near my home. I started primary school when I was five and stayed there for six years.The schoolday is from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. We spend the first 10 minutes in our classroom while our teacher checks which pupils are present or absent. Then everyone goes to the main hall. There our head teacher makes a speech and tells us any news about the school. Lessons begin at 9:05 and last for an hour. We have a break at 11:05 until 11:20, then another lesson, then lunch for an hour. We have two more lessons before school finishes.This year I have 11 subjects: maths, biology, chemistry, French, history, geography, music and IT, PHSE, ADT and PE (these stand for Information Technology; Personal Health and Safety Education; Art, Design and Technology and Physical Education). Fortunately, we don't have exams in every subject. PHSE is about the dangers of drugs and smoking, among other things. In ADT we also do things like learning to cook as well as drawing and design. Some people can do Italian and Spanish instead of French, but no one is learning Chinese ... yet! PE involves physical exercise, basketball, training in the gym and swimming—we're really lucky to have a swimming pool.I took exams when I was 7, 10, and 14 years old. Next year I take my exams in eight subjects, and then I can do between three and five subjects for the exams in my final year.We have a large sports ground where we play football, tennis and do athletics both during and after school hours. After-school activities, such as sports clubs and language societies are popular, too. During the school year there are usually visits to museums and galleries, and to camps for activities, such as climbing and cycling in the country. There are parties and discos and a sports day, and the school play isa really important event. Once a term, there is a parents' meeting, so our parents and teachers can talk about our progress.What's the best thing about school? English, history, music ... and my friends. What's the worst thing? Homework ... and exams!Module 3 Unit 1Listen and read.Betty'smum: It's getting late, Betty.Betty: Nearly finished! I'm doing a composition: Is life today better or worse than it was 50 years ago ?Betty'smum: And what do you think?Betty: I think it's better. The most important difference is that people arehealthier today, and they live longer than they did in the past.Betty's mum: That's true. The advantage is that we know more about medicine today.We're better at preventing illness . But people don't eat as well as in the past, and don't take as much exercise as they did.Betty: I suppose that's because public transport is much better today.Betty's mum: Yes, I agree. People walk or use their bikes less, and they're lazier. Faster transport also makes more pollution. And that makes life more dangerous and less healthy.Betty: What about work? People don't have to work as hard as they worked 50years ago.Betty's Yes, but no one ever says they have too much free time! I also thinkmum: schoolchildren today work harder than we ever did.Betty: Yes, but I really want to do my best.Betty'smum: Why don't you ask Mrs Li downstairs? She's seen how life has changed.Betty: That's a good idea. Talking of free time, don't forget I'm going on theschool trip next month, and the theatre visit.Betty'smum: Good! You'll be more relaxed and less nervous before your exams.Module 3 Unit 2Read this sentence from the passage. It's an example of a main point.Example: My parents, my sister and three brothers lived in a small house besidea restaurant.Mainpoint: Families were bigger in the past..Now choose the correct main point for these examples from the passage.1. My sister ... left school when she was only 12 ...My sister no longer wanted to go to school.The school leaving age was lower in the past. (T)2. Looking after us was a full-time job, so she stayed at home.Married women were too busy at home to continue working. (T)It wasn't necessary for the mother to work.3. ... my mother never bought ready-made food as people do today.There wasn't any fast food in the past.The food we eat today isn't as healthy as it was. (T)4. My parents liked him, and thought he came from a good family ...People from good families were always kind.Parents usually decided who their children married. (T)5. Yes, there are lots more buildings and so much more traffic!Cars are cheaper today.There was less traffic in the past. (T)Module 4 Unit 1Listen and read.Lingling: I'm really looking forward to the Shakespeare play.Betty: Me too! And the school trip to the Great Wall.Lingling: Yes, but I need a thick jacket, and some warm gloves and socks. Betty: In May?Lingling: I get really cold.Betty:OK. Let's go shopping!Lingling: How about that new shopping centre in Wangfujing? You know, turn left and go along Wangfujing, and it's on the right.Betty: Sure. We'll go by bus, OK? And have you decided what to wear to theschool leavers' party?Lingling: I've got a really nice long dress . What about you?Betty:I'll probably wear a dress, too, but I need some shoes. OK, I'll meet you in front of school at two o'clock this afternoon.(Later .)Betty: How about this jacket?Lingling:It's the right size but it's a bit bright.Betty: Let's see if they have one in blue. Where's the shop assistant ?Lingling:It's that girl with long hair over there. Excuse me!Shopassistant: Can I help you?Betty:Yes, do you have this jacket in blue?Shop assistant: No, I don't think so. But we've got some overcoats over here. Come this way.Betty: No, she doesn't want an overcoat.Lingling: Hey, I really like these shoes!Betty: Oh, take a look at that amazing skirt!Lingling: I think we're going to be here for some time.Module 4 Unit 2Read the passage and find out what the words and expressions mean. big name; designer clothes; logo; look coolLooking Cool1.What do you look for when you go shopping for clothes? Do you choose something fashionable ... or comfortable? Do you like to look different? Or do you wear the same clothes as your friends? Do you go for this year's colours? Is it the logo—the company symbol—that catches your attention? Or maybe film stars are wearing these clothes? What helps you choose the clothes you like?2.Everyone spends money on clothes, and everyone has their personal look. The best-known clothing companies sell their "designer" clothes all over the world. But the number of these big name companies is in fact very small, and the clothes they make are more expensive than the clothes made by less well-known companies. Many people even prefer them to cheaper clothes. Why?3.Many young people today care about the way they look. They often buy "designer" clothes because they think they look cool. Then the less well-known companies make clothes which look the same. But they don't sell as well because they don't have the logo.4.People also think designer clothes are better made. For example, many people think the right running shoes will make you run faster or play better. Of course, this is not always true. It's the training—not the trainers—that improves your speed or your score. But that's not the point. People believe that it's true ...and then buy the shoes. The big companies only want to make a lot of money.5.Above all, designer clothes are more popular because of clever advertising. All of the international companies spend millions of dollars every year to make us buy their clothes. And they succeed!6.Most people dress in a way that shows off their personality. But if some of us buy expensive clothes just to look cool, what does that say about us? Maybe it's just clever advertising.7.So next weekend, think about the clothes you put on. What's the logo on your trainers? Who made your jeans? And how many of your friends wear the same clothes as you do? And then think that maybe some of us could spend our money better.Module 5 Unit 1 Listen and read.Mr Jackson: OK, listen up! Before we can enjoy ourselves on the Great Wall, there are a few rules and suggestions. OK?All: Yes, Mr Jackson.Mr Jackson: First, you must keep to the path. You mustn't walk along the edge because you might fall and hurt yourself. Is that clear?All: Yes.Mr Jackson: And you have to keep together. You mustn't go off on your own, because you might get lost.All: No, Mr Jackson.Daming: Can we have something to eat now? I'm starving!Mr Jackson: No, you can't, Daming! You only had breakfast an hour ago. I think we should start walking, and then stop at noon for our picnic. But you shouldn't drink all the water, because you may need some later.Betty: Can we go rock climbing?Mr Jackson: Yes, you can, but you must use ropes. You have to think about personal safety! And you must have the right shoes. OK, I think that's all. Let's go down this path, and then we can cross the stream and climb up to the top of that mountain. Then we can take a look across the countryside ...Daming: ... and have lunch?Mr Jackson: ... and then walk along that part of the wall, up there. Come on! I'll lead the way.Daming: I feel tired already. I may need a rest very soon.Module 5 Unit 2Look at the picture and answer the questions.1.What do you think the bear is doing?2.What do you think the people in the tentshould do?% Read the passage and answer the questions.1.What were the three people doing in Yellowstone Park?2.How much do they know about bears?3.Where do you think is the best place to keep food safe from bears?4.What was the noise behind the writer?5.Do you think their stay in the park was a success?Watch Out! Bears About!On our first evening, the three of us were tired after walking for about eight hours. We soon fell asleep.In the middle of the night, there was a strange noise outside. But when I looked out of the tent, there was nothing to see.In the morning, I got up to make breakfast. The bag of food was open."Bears," said Joe. "We should hang the food in a tree tonight."Later that day we stopped in a beautiful valley by a stream. It was very peaceful, and we fell asleep listening to the sound of water.During the night the bears came back. This time they took the food from the tree."How did they do that?" I asked."Not high enough. Bears can climb trees. They can smell food from a distance. We should pick up the rubbish, too."The first rule of camping is to keep a clean camp site. You can't leave anything which bears might think is food."OK, let's tidy the site up, and move on. Oh, and we should make lots of noise, too. If they know where we are, they may not come any closer," said Joe."If you see a bear," said Joe, "you mustn't move or make any gesture. And above all, you mustn't run. No one can run faster in the forest than a bear."We went to sleep ... or we tried to.The next day we stopped at midday for something to eat, and while the others were resting, I went for a walk in the forest.Suddenly, I saw a baby bear playing with some sticks and stones. He looked so friendly, and I remember thinking, "If I reach out, I can just touch him."There was a loud noise behind me.I stood very still. I didn't even turn my head. There was another loud noise, and I still couldn't see what was happening. The baby bear looked up, and ran past me into the woods.I stayed in the same position for five minutes, maybe more. Then slowly I turned round, and on the hillside about 300 metres away I saw the baby bear and his huge mother.I have never run so fast, back to my friends.For the next 10 days, every time there was a sudden noise, my blood went cold. Module 6 Unit 1Listen and answer the questions. Use the words in the box to help you. accident; ache; blood; fever ; flu ; ground; knee ; shoulder; stomach; wound1.

Let's wait for the others. They'll catch up in a fewminutes.Lingling: Who's missing ?Betty: Tony and Daming. What's happened to them?Lingling: They were walking more slowly than us.Mr Jackson: And look at those clouds! I think it's going to rain. I'll go back and look for them.Betty: Wait a minute! I can hear someone.Tony: Help!Lingling: It's Tony. Where have you been?Tony: It's Daming. He has had an accident. He was running along the wall whenhe tripped and fell over the edge. He's cut his head; his shoulder hurtsand I think he's broken his leg.MrJackson: When did he fall?Tony: About 10 minutes ago.Mr Jackson: OK, show me where he is. I'll call for help on my mobile.(Later )Tony: There he is, lying on the ground!MrJackson: Hi, Daming. How do you feel?Daming: My leg hurts, and I feel a bit cold.Tony: And you've cut your knee . There's blood on your leg.MrJackson: Can you move your foot?Daming: Yes. Ouch! But I can't walk.Mr We had better get you to hospital.Jackson:Lingling: Will he live?Mr Jackson: Of course he will! He's got a wound in his leg and he may get a fever but it's nothing serious. He'll soon be OK!Module 6 Unit 2 Look at the pictures. Say what the advantages or dangers are.Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3Read the passage. Which paragraphs describe what you can see in the pictures?Six Rules for a Safe and Healthy LifeThanks to improvements in both health care and personal safety, most people are living healthier, longer lives. Someone who is born today can expect to live 25 years longer than someone who was born in the 19th century. It's even thought that in the future more and more people will celebrate their hundredth birthday. Here are six rules for a healthy life.1. Be careful! It's dangerous out there!We all know that we shouldn't run across the road in front of the oncoming traffic, or cycle too close to cars. But we're not sure about how to stay safe in thecountryside. When you're out walking, you should always go with someone, and tellyour parents where you're planning to go. Remember! Climbing may also mean falling—what goes up must come down. Safety rules and advice are there to help you, not to make life less fun.2. Don't be a couch potato!Sure, it's comfortable to sit on the couch and watch. But experts say you should walk at least 10,000 steps every day to keep fit. In the past, people's jobs required more physical effort. When farmers were working in the fields, they were keeping fit at the same time. Think about it: do you get the same amount of exercise today as they did in the past?3. Watch your diet!It's important to eat plenty of the right things, above all, fruit, vegetables, and to see fast food or sweets as something very special—maybe just now and then. The wrong diet means you'll put on weight, one of the fastest ways to an unhealthy life.4. Rest up while you can!When we were babies, we slept for much of the day—if our parents were lucky! Teenagers don't need as much sleep but it's important to get about eight hours' sleep. At weekends, you've got more time, so use it not just for your friends, but for rest, too.5. Don't worry. Be happy!Many doctors believe that happiness is important for our general health. If you're worried about something, talk to your parents or your teacher.6. Say no ... to smoking and drugs!Yes, you knew I was going to say this! But it's so important. More teenagers damage their health through smoking and taking drugs than any other dangers. Think about the effect on your family and friends, and think about its effect on you and your health.Happy living!Module 7 Unit 1Look at the party invitation and answer the questions. InvitationYou're invited tothe School Leavers' Partyon Saturday 30th May at 5 p.m.in the school hallBring a traditional dish —"finger food"Music and dancing1. What's a school leavers' party?2. What's a traditional dish?3. What do you think "finger food" is?4. What else is there to do at the party?5. Listen and read.Lingling: When's the school leavers' party?Betty: After the visit to the play by Shakespeare. It'll be held on 30th May. We're all invited.Daming: In fact, I've been chosen to look after the dance music.Tony: And I have been asked to decorate the hall.Betty: And everyone has been told to prepare a traditional dish from our owncountries.Lingling: Will we be allowed to cook it at school, or must it be made at home, andbrought here?Betty: I suppose it can be heated up in the school kitchen, but it should be cookedat home. What are you going to make?Lingling: Suanla tang , I guess.Betty: What's that?Lingling: Hot and sour soup. It's made with chicken or pork and vegetables.Betty: But the invitation says finger food! That means you have to eat it with yourfingers .Lingling: Oh, soup's no good, then. You need a spoon . What about you?Betty: Hamburgers, with cheese in a bread roll .Tony: And you, Daming?Daming: Jiaozi ! The best jiaozi in China are made by my grandmother!Betty: Is she invited to the school leavers' party, too?Daming: Hm, I see what you mean. What about you, Tony?Tony: A traditional English pizza with cheese, tomato and ham.Betty: Pizza isn't English! It was invented in Italy, not England!Tony: But pizza can be eaten everywhere in England.Betty: I don't think Shakespeare ate pizza!Module 7 Unit 2Read the passage. What are the most surprising pieces of information about meals and eating customs in the West?Do as the Romans DoThere's a saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." And when you eat Western food, do as the Westerners do. Here are some things you may wish to know about eating together in the West.In the West, lunch is eaten later, always after midday, sometimes at one o'clock. Dinner is served around 7 p.m. or even later. In Spain it's usual to eat lunch at 2 p.m. and dinner at 10 p.m.!At the start of a meal the Chinese usually say "manman chi". The French say "Bon appetit", and the Italians say "Buon appetito". But there's no similar expression in English! "Enjoy your meal" is usually only said by a waiter. For "ganbei", you can say "Cheers"!Chopsticks are only used when people eat Chinese food. Knives and forks are used for most food. The fork is held in your left hand and the knife in your right, and the food is held with the fork and cut with the knife. Americans often cut all their food first, and then put the fork in their right hand to eat it. Soup is drunk with a spoon. However, there is some food which can be eaten with your fingers, such as chicken legs, seafood, bread and cake.At the start of a meal, if you're the guest, you'll be invited to serve yourself ("Help yourself!"), or your plate will be filled by your host ("Can I serve you?"). If you've been given something you don't like, it should be pushed to the edge of the plate and left. You don't have to say why, but if you feel an explanation is required, just say, "I'm sorry. I can't eat this." No one will be cross. If you're offered more food, but can't eat any more, just say, "No, thanks. It was delicious, but I've had enough."Generally, fewer dishes are prepared than in China. It isn't thought to be so important to offer too much food.Finally, it's sometimes difficult to know when the meal is over. If you've been invited to dinner by Western friends, you'll know that you're expected to stay and talk around the dinner table long after the last dish has been brought to the table, and it's thought quite rude if you leave as soon as you finish eating.The golden rule is: Watch the other people. Do as they do.Module 8 Unit 1 Listen and read.Tony'smum: How was the play?Tony: Well, I was pleased to see it, but three hours is a long time to stay still.

How do you learn bestThis week we asked students at New Star High School about the best ways to learn more English. Many said they learnt by using English. Some students had more specific suggestions. Lillian Li , for example, said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines. She said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little. When we asked about studying grammar . she said ,“I never study grammar. It’s too boring.”Wei Ming feels differently. He’s been learning English for six years and really loves it. He thinks studying grammar is a great way to learn a language. He also thinks that watching English movies isn’t a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words. Sometimes, however, he finds watching movies frustrating because the people speak too quickly.Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to improve her English . students get lots of practice and they also have fun. She added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all “we get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese.” She said.How I learned to learn EnglishLast year my English class was difficult. First of all, it wasn’t easy for me to understand the teacher when she talked. To begin with, she spoke to quickly, and I couldn’t understand every word. Later on , I realized that it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand every word, I was also afraid to speak in class, because I thought my classmates might laugh at me. I couldn’t always make complete sentences, either. Then I started to watch English-language TV. It helped a lot. I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets of becoming a good language learner. Another thing that I found very difficult was English grammar so I decided to take lots of grammar notes in every class. Then I started to write my own original sentences using the grammar I was learning. it’s amazing how much this helped. Now I am enjoying learning English and I got an A this term. My teacher is very impressed.How do we deal with our problems?Rich or poor, young or old, we all have problems. And unless we deal with our problems, we can easily become unhappy. Worrying about our problems can affect how we do at school. It can also influence the way we behave with our families. So how do we deal with our problems? There are many ways.By learning to forgetMost of us have probably been angry with our friends. Parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn’t like, or you felt they were unfair. sometimes , people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendships may be lost.When we are angry, however, we are usually the ones affected. Perhaps we have seen young children playing together. Sometimes they have disagreements and decide not to talk to each other. however, this usually does not last for long . this is an important lesson for us: we can solve a problem by learning to forget.By regarding problems as challengesMany students often complain about school. They might feel they have too much work to do sometimes, or think the rules are too strict. We must learn how to change these “problems” into “challenges”. Education is an important part of our development. As young adults, it is our duty to try our best to deal with each challenge in our education with the help of our teachers.My biggest problemMy biggest problem is that I’m too busy. When I was young, I used to have so much time, but these days I get up early and stay in school all day. Then I go right home and eat dinner. Before I started high school, I used to spend a lot of time playing games with my friends ,but I just don’t have the time anymore. In the evening, I used to watch TV or chat with my grandmother, but now I have to study. I love music, and my father used to take me to concerts. These days , I hardly ever have time for concerts. I do my homework and go to bed. I really miss the old days.He used to cause a lot of troubleMartin Murray is a fifteen-year-old boy.He used to be a "problem child",but a recent conversation whit his mother changed his lif. He didn't use to give his mother many problems. However,after his father's death a few years ago, Martin's life became much more difficult. His mother couldn't afford to pay for her child's education. To do this, she had to work, and so was often not at home.His mother looked after him as well as she could. Unfortunately, Martin still cause problems for himself and hie family. He was not interested in studying and he often go into trouble with the police. Luckily, his mother was very patient and didn't give up trying to help him.In the end,she made a difficult decision : to send him to a boy's boarding school. Martin hated it and used to cause a lot of trouble. One day,he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. Even the teacher agreed that Martin was wasting his time.The head teacher said it was necessary for Martin to talk with his mother. Martin called hie mother, but to his surprise,this phone call changed his life. "It wasexactly what I need," he said. "My mother helped me to understand how much she had given me. She also told me that even though my father was no longer with us, he was watching me and would always take pride in everything good I do. That's when I decided to change. I realize that since my father died, I have been afraid of being alone,and have tried to make my mother my mother pay more attention to me ." Now Martin has really changed. He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class. How was he able to change? His mother’s love helped him to feel good about himself ,and as Martin himself says, "It’s very important for parents to be there for their children.Read the following article：The other day, my friends and I talked about the rules that we have in school. At our school , we have to wear uniforms every day. The problem is that all my classmates think the uniforms are ugly. We think young people should look smart and so we would like to wear our own clothes. Our teachers believe that if we did that, we would concentrate more on our clothes than our studies. We disagree. We would feel more comfortable and that is good for studying. If we can’t do that, we should be allowed to design our own uniforms. That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happyIt’s also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening. I know we get noisy sometimes , but we learn a lot from each other. We also think that vacations should be longer. At present they’re too short. Longer vacations would give us time to do things like volunteering. Last summer I had an opportunity to volunteer at the local hospital, but I couldn’t because I had togo back to school. It would be a good experience for me because I want to be a doctor when I’m older.Helping and LearningAt our school,we sometimes have a special day to help st year we went to an old people's home and sang song and performed a play for them.The old people were very happy.We should be allowed to take time to do thing like that more often.For example,we should visit primary school and help teach young students. I want to be a teacher when I'm older,so it would be a great experience for me.Other students would like to do other jobs.For example,my friend Tian Ge wants to write for a newspaper.She should be allowed to volunteer at the newspaper office once a week.On Friday afternoons,many students are sleepy after a long week of classes.Some students should be allowed to have Friday afternoons off to volunteer and help others.Should I be allowed to make my own decisions?Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these hobbies can get in the way of schoolwork, and parents might worry about their child’s success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?Liu Y u, a fifteen-year-old boy form Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school running team and has always wanted to be a professional athlete. However, his parents won’t allow him to train as much as he would like to. “ Of course we want to see Liu Y u achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu , “and we know how much h loves running .that’s great , and my wife and I have watched him in every one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we do think that our son needs to be realistic. Now that he is getting older, he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t become a professional runner in the end.”Liu Yu doesn’t really agree. “well, I think I should be allowed to make decisions for myself,” he says. “my parents have always taught me the importance of working hard and not just to do what I enjoy. I understand this. But I’m serious about running. Being a professional runner is the only thing I have every wanted to do.”Mr. and Mrs. Liu believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings, and so they don’t allow him to practice running on school nights. “I know this might seem strict,”says Mrs. Liu, “but we think we’re doing the right thing. He has to understand that very few people van become professional athletes. It’s a very difficult dream to achieve. We don’t allow him to practice every day because wethink he needs to spend time on his homework.”But Liu Yu still does n’t agree. “I know my parents care about me,” he says.”But they are always talking about what will happen if I don’t succeed. But I will succeed! I think I should be allowed to make this decision for myself. Only then will I have a chance of achieving my dream.Dear Knowledgeable,My best friend, Met , has a problem. There is a really important English speech contest for our whole city next month. Our classmates want her to represent the class in the school contest. Everyone is sure she will win. It’s probably true. Mei is very clever and can speak English really well. In fact , she always comes top in the school exams. The problem is that she’s very shy. She doesn’t want to let her friends down, but she’s terrified of speaking in front of other people. She’s my friend, so she can tell me that she’s shy. But she can’t tell everyone that. I don’t think they would believe her. I can’t think of any good advice to give her, but you always come up with good solutions to people’s problems. What do you think I should tell Mei? What do you think I should tell the rest of the students?What would you do if …?Marin Robinson is a famous doctor who has a lot of experience dealing with teenagers. His new book, what would you do if…?come out last month. It gives advice on what to do in lots of different situations here are two pages from the book.AccidentsWhat would you do if you cut yourself by accident?You should cover the cut with a clean cloth and press it hard. If it’s a deep cut, you should see a doctor.If my grandmother fell downstairs and wasn’t moving, I’d hurry to call the hospital first. Is that correct?Yes, speed is very important. Get the medical help first , then make er comfortable and stay with her.What would you do if you burned yourself by accident?Well, first find out how bad it is. Then put the burned area under cold running waterWhat would you do if you injured your knee while running?If I felt some pain, I’d stop exercising. And if it hurt for more than a few days, I’d see a doctor.problemsA friend offers you cigarettes at a party. Of course you should refuse！if I were you , I’d also talk to your friend about the dangers of smoking. Children often think medicine is candy and eat it. You must always hide medicine from children , and you should tell children to ask their parents before they eat “candy ”they find. An “internet friend”has asked if you could meet .you should tell your parents about it, agree to meet in a public place, and you shouldn’t go alone. You get pimples when you are nervous. You should drink lots of water and ask your doctor for advice.Strange events in bell tower neighborhoodOur neighborhood used to be very quiet. However, these days, strange things are happening in our neighborhood and everyone is unhappy. Zhou Gu, the local school teacher, is extremely worried. When he was interviewed by the local newspaper, he said, “every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that if could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the police, but they can’t find anything strange. They think it might be wind. I don’t think so!”Zhou Gu’s next door neighbor Qi Hui is unhappy too. “at first , I thought it might be a dog, but I can’t see a dog and I still hear the noises outside.”Everyone in our neighborhood is worried, and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must be something visiting the homes in our neighborhood, but what is it?Unit 6Yellow River FishermanThis is Hong Tao’s latest movie. I like Hong Tao. He’s made some great movies over the years. Unfortunately, this is his worst movie. If you’re looking for entertainment, stay at home and watch TV. Yellow River Fisherman is too long, and it’s really boring. It does have a few good features, though. I thought the fisherman’s wife was really funny.Amy Kim, PhotographyBe sure to see this exhibition at the Lido Gallery. Amy Kim is one of the best-known Chinese photographers in the world today, and some of her mostfamous photos are on display in this exhibition. She really has something for everyone. There are many great photos of people and of the countryside. The few city photographs are less successful. I see the same things every day and they don’t interest me as much. But this is a great show from a world-class photographer. Whatever you do, don’t miss this exhibition.Wild and WindyOver the years, we’ve seen musical groups with pretty strange names come and go. Few have stranger names than this band. As the name suggests, the band has lots of energy. And they play the kind of music that I love to hear. Every song is really loud and you often can’t understand the words, but this is okay because the lyrics aren’t very good. However, these are musicians who make us happy-even on a Monday morning!Unit 6 P.49 Part2Dear Pen Pal,I’m having a great time in Hong Kong, although I have to be honest and say that I prefer Shanghai. Still, it’s a great place to visit and I’m lucky to be here for my six-month English course. Some other students are learning French. I might like to learn it too. What languages would you like to learn?There’s just so much to see and do here. Last night I went to a Chinese music concert. Most of my friends like loud music that they can dance to. I prefer quiet, traditional music, so the concert suited me just fine. What kinds of music do you like?Before the concert we went for Italian food. Do you like it? There are lotsof different kinds of foods here. I don’t know what to try next. What kinds of food do you prefer?My host family is taking me to an Indian film festival next weekend. I’m not sure what to expect because I’ve never seen an Indian film before. Have you? Some people say they’re boring, but others say they’re great. What kinds of films do you prefer?Yours,Lingling Unit 7 P.54 3aTRA VEL SPOTLIGHT: PARISFor your next vacation, why not consider visiting Paris? Paris is the capital of the liveliest cities in Europe. It doesn’t have any beaches or mountains, but there are still many things to do there. For example, it has some fantastic sights, including the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the most famous churches in the world.Traveling around Paris by taxi can cost a lot of money, but it’s usually convenient to take the underground train to most places. In general, though, France is quite an expensive place. One thing that is not expensive in France, however, is the wine!Most people in France have learned English. But many people don’t like to speak English, especially in Paris. So unless you speak French yourself, it’s best to travel with someone who can translate things for you.Unit 7 P.56 3aDear Ace Travel,My family and I want to take a trip this summer somewhere in eastern China. I hope you can provide we with some information about the kinds of vacations that your firm can offer. We would like to travel to an exciting place and we don’t mind how far we have to go. It has to be a place where we can do lots of outdoor activities; we especially love hiking and swimming, but any kind of outdoor activity is fine. We also need to stay in an inexpensive money by cooking our own meals. The room needs to be big enough for three people. Also, we’d like to stay at a place with a big pool or somewhere near the ocean. Could you please give me some suggestions for vacation spots? Also, please let us know if it’s best to travel by plane, train or bus. We’d like to be away for about three weeks.Thank you very much!S. T. ZhangUnit 8 P.62 3aBeing a volunteer is great!Number 77 High School is home to three very special young people: Li Huiping, Lin Pei and Zhu Ming. These three students all volunteer their time to help other people. This volunteer work takes each of them several hours a week, so it is a major commitment. Huiping loves to read, and she puts this love to good use by working in the after-school care center at her local elementary school. Here, she helps young children to read. Lin Pei loves animals and plans to study to be a veterinarian when he leaves school. Hespends every Saturday morning working in an animal hospital. Zhu Ming wants to be a professional singer. He sings for groups of people at the city hospital to cheer them up. “V olunteering is great!”says Huiping. “Not only do I feel good about helping other people, but I get to spend time doing what I love to do.”Lin Pei says he has learned more about animals. Zhu Ming says he has met some wonderful people at the hospital. The three students plan to set up a student volunteer project at their school.”Don’t put it off,”says Huiping.”Becoming a volunteer today!”Unit 8 P.64 3aLast week everyone was trying to cheer up Jimmy, the Bike Boy. But this week, Jimmy is happy again. On Monday, he told a radio interviewer that he had run out of money to buy old bikes. He also put up some signs asking for old bikes and called up all his friends and told them about the problem. He even handed out advertisements at a local supermarket. Ten he told the teachers at school about his problem and they set up a call-in center for parents. The strategies that he came up with worked out fine. He now has sixteen bikes to fix up and give away to children who don’t have bikes.Unit9 P.72 3aWho invented tea?Did you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Although tea wasn’t brought to the Western world until 1610, this beverage was discover over three thousand years before that. According to an ancient Chinese legend, the emperor Shen Nong discoveredtea when he was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a nearby bush fell into the water and remained there for some time. The emperor noticed that the leaves in the water produced pleasant smell. Later he decided to taste the hot mixture. It was quite delicious. And in this way, one of the world’s favorite drinks was inventedUnit 10 P.78 3aI’ve never been late for school, but yesterday I came very close. My alarm clock didn’t go off, and by the time I woke up, my father had already gone into the bathroom and I had to wait for him to come out. I had to really rush. I took a quick shower, had some breakfast, and then ran off to the bus stop. Unfortunately, by the time I got there, the bus had already left. I started walking, but I knew I couldn’t get to school on time. Luckily, my friend Tony and his dad came by in his dad’s car and they gave me a ride. When I got to school, the final bell was ringing. I only just made it to my class.Unit 10 P.80 3aIn 1938, a radio program by actor Orson Welles announced that aliens from Mars had landed on the Earth. He described where they had landed and told how they were moving across the United States. Welles was so convincing that hundreds of people believed the story, and panic set off across the whole country. By the time the authorities revealed that the story was a hoax, thousands of people had fled from their homes.One April Fool’s Day, a reporter in England announced that there would be no more spaghetti because the spaghetti farmers in Italy had stoppedgrowing spaghetti. Many people ran to their local supermarket to buy as much spaghetti as they could. By the time people realized that the story was a hoax, all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold out.A famous TV star once invited his girlfriend onto his show on April Fool’s Day. He asked her to marry him. She was thrilled, because she really wanted to get married. However, when she said “yes”, he replied, “April Fool!”That little joke didn’t have a very happy ending. The TV star lost both his girlfriend and his show.。
