There are more insects than any other kind of animals. Some insects such as locusts (蝗虫) eat crops. They are farmer’s enemies (敌人). We all know there are other animals that eat insects too. They are farmer’s friends. The dragonfly is one of them.Many people are afraid of dragonflies though they are friendly insects. A dragonfly can help to kill flying insects, especially mosquitoes. A dragonfly may have as many as one hundred mosquitoes in its mouth at a time. Some dragonflies eat while flying, but others like to come down to the ground before eating their meals.The dragonfly cannot walk, because all its legs are at the very front of its body. It has two pairs of strong wings. The dragonfly is one of the fastest insects in the world. The dragonfly can see very well. It can see a moving insect far away, but the life of a dragonfly is short. It can’t live in the cold weather.31.We know from the passage that ________ are farmer’s enemies.A.dragonflies B.locusts C.birds D.fish32.________ are friendly insects, and usually eat mosquitoes.A.Locusts B.Butterflies C.Bees D.Dragonflies33.A dragonfly may have ________ mosquitoes in its mouth at a time.A.twenty B.a thousand C.eighty D.a hundred 34.Dragonflies can’t walk because ________.A.they don’t have so many legs B.they have four legs each C.their legs are very weak D.their legs are at the very front of their bodies35.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Dragonflies are not fast insects.B.Dragonflies can’t see well in the daytime.C.Dragonflies can see flying insects far away.D.Dragonflies have a pair of strong wings.What do pandas, tigers, whales, lions and wild camels have in common (共同的)? They are all endangered (濒临灭绝的). Here are the reasons.Hunting: For centuries, people hunted elephants for their tusks, killed tigers for their fur,and caught many other animals for their meat.Foreign animals: In 1505, some people discovered a beautiful island named Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. People brought dogs, pigs, monkeys and rats with them, but this was bad news for dodo birds. The birds did not have natural enemies (天敌) before. They ate fruit that fell from trees and built their house on the ground. But when people came, dodo birds were in big trouble—men killed them for their meat, and the new animals broke their homes and ate their eggs.The number of dodo birds became smaller and smaller and finally extinct. The last dodo bird was killed in 1681.Loss of living space: People cut down forests for farming and building houses. People build dams (水坝) to make sure they have enough water.While we make our lives comfortable, other animals have less and less space.36.Pandas, tigers, whales, lions and camels are all ________ according to (依据) passage.A.dangerous animalsB.endangered animalsC.useful animalsD.animals living everywhere37.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Dodo birds lived on Mauritius.B.Dodo birds became extinct in 1681.C.Dodo birds didn’t have natural enemies before 1505.D.Natural enemies killed the last dodo bird in 1681.38.The underlined word means “________” in Chinese.A.死亡的B.减少的C.再生的D.灭绝的39.Which of the following is NOT a reason why the animals are endangered?A.Animals have less and less living space.B.People kill many animals.C.Some animals killed themselves.D.People and some animals break the endangered animals’ homes.40.This passage mainly tells us ________.A.why some animals are endangeredB.how to save endangered animalsC.that we must stop hunting to protect wild animalsD.what life is like for animalsPeter wondered why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was that he was always taking, never giving.One day Peter told Bill, “I’d like to give a party on Saturday. I’d like you to come and bring Martha, too. ”“Thanks, Peter. We’d be happy to come. ”“Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I’m sure everyone will want you to sing for us. ”That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next, he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. “You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery. ”Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn’t forget to ask something from each one of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.The party was a big success.

So on my way home from the beach, I walked into the library.Luckily, I found a book named Come with Me to the Edge of the Sea. It had many pictures of animals living near the sea. The pictures of male fiddler crabs (雄性招潮蟹) looked quite like the crab I found on the beach. I learned a lot about that kind of crab.Sometimes a fiddler crab puts the small claw across the big one. It looks like it is playing the fiddle (violin) when it does this, so some people call it the fiddler crab. Sometimes it waves (挥动) its big claw. It looks like it is saying hello. That’s why other people call it the calling crab. Fiddler crabs’ eyes are on long eye stalks (眼柄). They can put up their eye stalks to look around. It makes them look taller.These crabs are very small. There are lots of other, bigger beach animals that want to eat them. They dig holes in the sand (在沙子里挖洞). The holes are their homes. They are safe inside them. Sometimes the sea water can bring food into their holes.回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过5个词:61.What was the difference of two claws of the crab the writer saw?62.How did the writer find out the crab’s name?63.What’s another name for the fiddler crab?64.When do fiddler crabs look taller?65.Where do fiddler crabs live?六、短文填空短文首字母填空Animals are man’s friends, but many people don’t treat them as friends.

During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was paper money. In Western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2, 000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2, 800 tons of paper. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48, 000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.So, can we save paper?We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs but not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.Everyone can help to save paper. If we all try our best, we can help protect trees. And we should do it now before it is too late.21.When he was in China, Marco Polo ____ .A.discovered Cai Lun invented paperB.learned to make paperC.saw many wonderful thingsD.read a lot books22.Which of the following is NOT the way of saving paper according the passage?A.To use both sides of every piece of paper.B.To grow more trees.C.To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones.D.To use the paper bags from shops more than once.23.Which of the following is NOT true?A.If we keep on wasting paper, we will have no paper to use.B.The Chinese used paper money much earlier than the Westerners.C.About 48, 000 trees can be used to make 2, 800 tons of paper.D.It is never too late to plant trees for paper.24.Which is the best title of the passage?A.Saving Paper B.The History of PaperC.Cotton Handkerchief Back Again D.Cai Lun, the Great Inventor阅读理解One morning, Ann's neighbor Tracy found a lost dog walking around the local middle school.

Sometimes, it can come after a big rainstorm at sea. Then too much sea water comes onto the land. Fast moving flood can hurt us. It can also hurt our homes. We can't stop the water from coming, but we can try to stop the water by making a wall with sandbags. Sometimes, the sandbags help stop the water. Sometimes they don't.An earthquake happens where land moves. The land goes up and down and all around. The land shakes. We may be hurt by things that fall down in an earthquake. Falling things can start fires. We can't stop an earthquake from coming. We can try to make our homes strong in order to prevent them from falling down in an earthquake.A tornado(龙卷风) is fast air that goes around and around over the land. A tornado can pick up everything. It can break anything in the way. A typhoon is a big storm with fast moving wind and rain. It begins at sea and can come onto the land. Its fast winds can hurt us and our homes.We can't stop the power of nature, but we can go to places where we will feel safe.阅读填空Chinese Brand (品牌)is a very popular phrase now.

双语阅读:如何成为一个好室友摘要:大学生之间聊天时常常谈及室友那些惹人厌的事迹,每个人都可以讲出一些。
如果你想确保自己不是每个人口中的烦人室友,或者想学习和糟糕室友的相处之道,有几条简单准则你可照办。
Roommate horror stories are pretty popular topics of conversation at college. Everybody’s got them. Follow a few simple guidelines to ensure you're not the awful roommate everyone's talking about—and learn to deal with your terrible roommate.I know bad roommates. Last year my noisy, inconsiderate roommate constantly woke me up around three in the morning. Her side of the room was always messy and covered with clothes. Her suitcase from Christmas break didn’t move from the middle of the room all second semester. She used my makeup. She ate my food. One night, her boy toy stole my pillow off my bed. While I was sleeping on it. And she brought a kitten to live in our room (which, just by the way, is totally against dorm policies). Y’all, I don’t like cats. Not even kittens. But who did the kitty like best? Me. Whose bed did it sleep on? Mine. Who did it wake up every morning to be fed? Me.大学生之间聊天时常常谈及室友那些惹人厌的事迹,每个人都可以讲出一些。
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.

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.

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.

秋天的散文中英文版篇一:【托福阅读素材】唯美秋天的散文(双语版)【托福阅读素材】唯美秋天的散文(双语版)英文原文:It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves falling with the cool wind. For others, itis a harvest season, while for me, it is an annoying season. I was preparing for thePostgraduate Entrance E_amination. But so many unhappy things made me so tired, so Idecided to have a walk along the Yanjiang Road in my university.那是一个金色的季节.我看到金色的叶子随着凉爽的秋风飘落.对其他人来说,这是收获的季节.然而对于我,这却是一个烦恼的季节.那时我正在准备研究生入学考试.但那么多不愉快的事情让我感到非常疲惫,所以我决定顺着学校的沿江路散散心.〝Autumn is a lonely season and life is uninteresting. The days in this season always get medown〞, I thought when the sound of a guitar flowed into my ears, like a stream flowing fromthe mountains. I was so surprised that I ran to see what it was.A young girl, sitting on thelawn, was lost in playing her guitar. She was a beautiful girl, especially when the wind blew herlong hair. I had never seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly.秋天是一个寂寞的季节,生活索然无趣.秋天我总是感到沮丧,我正边走边想,这时弹吉他的声音就像山中小溪的流水灌入我的耳朵,我感到非常惊奇于是跑去看个究竟.一个非常年轻的女孩坐在草地上,忘我地弹着吉他.她真漂亮,尤其是当她的长发随风轻舞时.以前我从没有见过她.音乐如此美妙,以致我静静地听了起来.Lost in the music, I did not realize that I had been standing for so long.

She was the only performer and I was the only audience.During therest of the days in the season, life became interesting and I could review the coursescarefully. Though we did not know each other, I thought we were always good friends.沉醉在音乐中,我没有意识到自己竟然站了那么久,但我的存在好像并没有打扰她,叶子仍在随风飘零.每天路过那片草地,我都会看到她在那儿弹吉他.她是惟一的表演者,而我是惟一的听众.于是这个季节接下来的日子里,生活变得趣味盎然,我也能专心复习功课了.尽管我们彼此不相识,我认为我们已经是好朋友了.Autumn was nearly over.

下面是店铺分享的一篇英译汉文章Mayhew,欢迎大家阅读!Mayhew生活的道路William S. Maugham威廉·S.毛姆The lives of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only with resignation but even with good will. They are like streetcars running contentedly on their rails and they despise the sprightly flivver that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them;they are good citizens, good husbands, and good fathers, and of course somebody has to pay the taxes; but I do not find them exciting. I am fascinated by the men, few enough in all conscience, who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it to their own liking. It may be that we have no such thing as free will, but at all events we have the illusion ofit. At a crossroad it does seem to us that we might go either to the right or the left and, the choice once made, it is difficult to see that the whole course of the world's history obliged us to take the turning we did.对于大多数人来说,生活是由环境决定的。
ON THE WAY ALWAYSLadies and gentlemenIt is my hornor to be there to make a speech .I’d like to start with a interesting thing .Have you ever heard of it? Now,let’s begin. A pig is sleeping and eating.A college student is eating ,sleeping and love.So, someone come to a result,a college student is a pig fell in love.When we heard of this, we may feel greatly angry .It is unfair to evaluate we student in this way. I believe many students there are hardworking and is always on the way both in body and soul. But ,everything suverived is reasonable, it do reflects some bad college atmosphere. After all, many college students spend their life in the way mentioned in our story. Of course, anyone have freedom, they have right to do what they like .Nevertheless, We need look broadminded ,we need to be responsible .We need be positive ,We need not to be guilty for what we do in the future.As we all know, letting our body or sour on the way is a positive attitude to life ,which can bring good efforts to us. Firstly, We can make good of use of our only time .We can also develop our heart and body .Secondly, life become colorful because of travel and reading .thirdly, there is no doubt we can get more ability to adapt to near futu re .last but not the least, we won’t feel guilty for the time we spent.I am always encouraged by this word: travel or reading, your bodyand soul must be on the way alternative. We need to be a person whose body or soul is on the way rather than be someone lay both their body and soul in the bed. We need pay our attention to think what we have done ,what we are doing ,what we will do. Everyone present has only one life, why don’t we make good use of it? Why don’t we realize our value ?。

May you always walk your path with love
When I was a boy there were no smart phones, computers were something you saw on STAR TREK, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by
my imagination.
当我还是个小男孩的时候,没有智能电话、电脑,也没有什么东西能够播放“星球大战”,电视只有一个频道是清楚的。
即使这样,我也不觉得无聊。
家附近的田野、山坡、林地都是极佳的玩耍场所,只有想不到,没有玩不到的冒险。
I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old, one lane, dirt road that I had never seen before. I immediately set out to travel it. It was full of potholes and muddy tire tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.
我还记得有次徒步去附近的一个湖,我沿着湖边慢慢地走着,在湖的后部沿岸,我惊奇的发现之前没有的一条上了些年头的草坪泥泞路。
我当即就决定去走走。
这条路上遍布凹坑以及泥巴上的
轮胎印,在路的两边类似分界线般的扎根的植物,这不失为一个冒险的好场所。
I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I am sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on.
我走啊走,可能有好几个小时,守护我安全的小天使在我耳边低语,让我掉头回家,但我执拗,甚至显得有些愚蠢,依然执意往前走。
The dirt road gave way to a gravel one and then a paved one, yet there was still neither a car nor a house in sight. My legs were getting tired. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road in the dark of night, but I was sure it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.
泥泞的路走着走着,渐渐变成了砂石路,又慢慢变成了平路,但是目力所及之处未见车和房子。
我走得双腿疲累,太阳开始下山了,我开始害怕起来,我不想等天黑以后困在这条路上,但是如果现在往回,天黑前也回不到湖边。
I continued to walk on with the fear growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in
tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized.
我继续朝前走着,恐惧在我心理蔓延,心跳加速,双腿疼痛,泪水几乎要夺眶而出,我最后抬头一瞥,远处好像有什么东西,我认出那是一幢房子。
My heart leapt up! I jumped up and down and laughed out loud.
I knew the way home! It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night’s sleep.
我激动不已,上窜下跳,高兴地笑出了声,我认得这是回家的路。
尽管还要一英里才能到家,我的腿却像羽毛般轻快,我迫不及待地回到家里,走进家中,喜悦之情溢于言表,而且正好赶上晚上的饭点。
我的冒险以晚上的一场酣睡收尾。
I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said: “All roads lead Home.”This is true. In this life all roads no matter what their twists and turns can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on Earth. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts.
我记得最近见过的一则标语是这样说的:“所有的路都是回家的路。
”确实是这样,这辈子所有的路不管怎样波折最终都会引导
着我们回家,有的是回到地球上看得见摸得着的家,有的是回到心里的家。
May you always walk your path with love. May you always help your fellow travelers along the way. And may your roads always lead you Home again.
愿你的人生之路都有爱为伴,愿你在旅途中帮助同路人,愿你人生中的一段又一段旅程都是通往“家”的旅程。
