UNIT 7 CAREERSLESSON 1 EQ: IQ情商：智商(P 8-9)Success Comes with a High EQ 成功来自高情商Most students do an IQ (Intelligence Quotient) test early in their school life. Even if they never see their results, they feel that their IQ is what determines how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change their situation. However, new research into EQ (Emotional Quotient) suggests that success is not simply the result of a high IQ.大多数学生会在学生生涯早期做智商测试。
即使从未看到过测试结果，他们也认为是智商决定了自己日后生活中的表现。
当看到其他学生比自己优秀，他们通常会认为那些学生智商更高，无论做什么也改变不了自身这一劣势。
然而，最新的情商研究表明，成功并不仅仅是高智商的结果。
While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovey, who invented the term EQ, gives the following description: at work, it is IQ that gets you employed, but it is EQ that gets you promoted. Supported by his research, Professor Salovey suggests that when predicting someone’s future success, their character, as measured by EQ tests, might actually matter more than their IQ.智商表明你到底有多聪明，而情商表明你如何善用智慧。

第二部分
突然，我和一名球员撞到了一起，疼痛在我身上迅速蔓延。
我的膝盖受伤严重。
球队围在我身边，看起来很担心。
最后一节即将开始，我们队已经落后10分。
我平静地说，“我可能不能继续上场了，教练。
”医生把冰袋放在我的膝盖上。
“不行，”教练斩钉截铁地回答，“我们没有别的球员了！”
“保罗怎么样？”有人建议。
“保罗？”教练说，“他不行！”
“给他个机会吧，教练！”我说，“我们还能损失什么呢？”“没错，”另一名球员说，“不管怎样我们都要输了，让保罗上场吧！”
“让我试试，教练！我不会让你失望的！”保罗说。
“好吧，好吧！”教练最终同意了。
“别让我们失望，保罗。
你发光发亮的时刻到了。
”
保罗跳起来冲上球场。
显然，他所有独自练习的额外时间都得到了回报。
对手队跟不上他的力量和速度。
他的进球一个接一个，人群不停地鼓掌欢呼。
比赛结束时，我们队以两分的优势赢得了比赛。
“嗯，”教练一边拍着保罗的肩膀一边说，“你已经为自己赢得了球队中的位置，‘大个子’！”

北师大版高中英语必修-3-课文翻译-module-3Unit 7 Lesson 1 航行到美洲的北欧海盗北欧海盗是第一批到达美洲的欧洲人，早在哥伦布启航之前，他们就已经到达那里了。
北欧海盗的祖先来自于斯堪的纳维亚半岛，公元8世纪到10世纪期间，他们控制着北欧海面和沿海地区。
大约到公元900年，北欧很多地方都有海盗居住。
公元982年，冰岛生活着多达一万人的北欧海盗，就在此时，一个叫红发埃里克的人决定向西远航。
根据冰岛和挪威的传说，红发埃里克因犯谋杀案而惹上麻烦，并被迫离开冰岛，埃里克到达格陵兰岛后，发现他登陆的地方可以居住，他返回冰岛，告诉人们有关格陵兰岛的事情，并说服一些人与他一起回到格陵兰岛，埃里克再次启航时，有25艘船与他同行，但其中只有14艘最终到达格陵兰岛。
红以埃里克登上格陵兰岛不久，一个叫比阿尼的人也从冰岛启航来寻找埃里克一行人。
比阿尼希望找到和埃里克在一起的父亲，但大风使他偏离航线，刮到一个不知名的地方，从那里他最终抵达格陵兰岛。
1002年，红发埃里克的儿子利夫打算继续向西航行，他和比阿尼一同商量他的西行计划，利夫依照比阿尼的指点，据说航行到了现在的加拿大海岸，他双继续南行至现在的纽芬兰的岛屿。
我们从挪威和冰岛记载下来并流传几个世纪的传说中得知红发埃里克和利夫的事迹，他们是记载中最早航行到达美洲的欧洲人。

高中英语北师大版必修三课文翻译全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Oh my gosh, guys! Today I'm going to tell you about this super cool text from our high school English book! It's called "Understanding Cultural Differences" and it's all about how we can learn to appreciate and understand people from different cultures! You know, it's so important to respect other people's customs and traditions, right?In the text, it talks about how we can learn from each other and celebrate our differences. Like, did you know that in some cultures it's polite to slurp your noodles while eating? That might seem weird to us, but it's totally normal for them! And in some countries, people bow instead of shaking hands. How cool is that?The text also talks about how language plays a big role in understanding different cultures. Like, did you know that some languages have totally different ways of saying things than English? It's so interesting to learn about all the different languages out there!I think it's really awesome that we can learn so much from people who are different from us. It helps us to be moreopen-minded and accepting of others. Plus, it's just super fun to explore new cultures and ways of thinking!So, let's all make an effort to learn about and appreciate the cultural differences around us. Who knows, we might discover something new and amazing about the world! Let's keep our minds open and our hearts full of love and respect for all people, no matter where they come from! Love you guys!篇2Title: My Understanding of High School EnglishHi everyone! Today I want to talk about our high school English textbook - "Beijing Normal University Edition Mandatory Three". It's a bit of a mouthful, but don't worry, I'll break it down for you.First off, this book is super important for our English learning journey. It's filled with interesting stories, thought-provoking essays, and useful vocabulary. When I first opened it, I was like, "Wow, there's so much to learn!" But don't worry, I'm here to help you understand it all.One of my favorite stories in the book is "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant. It's about a woman who borrows a fancy necklace for a fancy party, but then loses it. She and her husband have to work super hard for years to pay for a new one, only to find out later that the original necklace was just a fake. It taught me that honesty is always the best policy.Another story I love is "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde. It's about a statue of a prince who helps a poor girl and a hungry swallow. It showed me that kindness and selflessness are important qualities to have.The book also has some cool essays, like "Learning English" by Liu Liankun. He talks about the importance of learning English and how it can open up new opportunities for us. I totally agree with him - English is like a superpower that we can use to communicate with people from all over the world!In conclusion, "Beijing Normal University Edition Mandatory Three" is not just a boring textbook - it's a treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom. So let's dive into it, learn as much as we can, and become English experts in no time! Thanks for listening, and stay awesome, my English-loving buddies!篇3Hey everyone! Today I want to tell you about a class text we are studying in high school called "A Dream of Red Mansions". It's a really cool story set in ancient China and it's full of drama, romance, and a lot of interesting characters.The story is about a big family with lots of brothers and sisters who live in a huge mansion. There's a girl named Daiyu who is sad and lonely because she doesn't get along with her stepmother. But then, she meets a boy named Baoyu who becomes her friend and they have a lot of adventures together.There are a lot of other characters in the story too, like Baoyu's cousins and other family members. They all have their own problems and secrets, and some of them are really mean to each other. But it's all really fun to read about because there's always something exciting happening.I think this story is really cool because it teaches us about the importance of family and friendship, and it also shows us how people can change and grow. So if you like stories with lots of drama and interesting characters, you should definitely check out "A Dream of Red Mansions". It's a great read for anyone who loves a good story!篇4Oh my gosh, guys! I just read this super cool text in our high school English book, it's called "The Ape and the Excavator" from the Beijing Normal University Press's mandatory reading for grade three! This text is all about this clever ape who figures out how to use an excavator to get bananas! Can you believe it?So, basically, there's this super smart ape that lives in the jungle, and one day he sees an excavator working in the forest. At first, he's scared of it and runs away, but then he goes back and watches how the excavator digs up the dirt. The ape is so smart, guys, he then figures out how to use the excavator himself!He climbs into the driver's seat and starts moving the levers and buttons, and before you know it, he's using the excavator to dig up all the bananas he wants! The other monkeys are so impressed and start cheering him on. It's like a big party in the jungle!But, uh-oh, there's a twist in the story. The ape gets a bit greedy and starts using the excavator to dig up more bananas than he can eat. The other monkeys try to stop him, but he won't listen. And then, disaster strikes - the excavator breaks down, and the bananas are all ruined!The moral of the story, my friends, is that we should always be grateful for what we have and not be too greedy. It's a lesson we can all learn from, even as high school students. So let's remember the tale of the ape and the excavator and try to be content with what we have. And hey, if we ever see an excavator in real life, maybe we can show off our English skills by telling this story to our friends! How cool would that be?篇5Oh my goodness, I have to translate a whole lesson from the high school English textbook "Beishida Version Book Three" into a childish style! Here it goes:Once upon a time, there were three little pigs who wanted to build their own houses. The first little pig built his house out of straw, the second little pig built his house out of sticks, and the third little pig built his house out of bricks.One day, a big bad wolf came and huffed and puffed and blew down the straw house. The first little pig ran to his brother's stick house for safety. But the big bad wolf huffed and puffed again and blew down the stick house too. The two little pigs ran to their brother's brick house, which was safe and strong.The big bad wolf tried to blow down the brick house, but he couldn't do it. So he tried to climb down the chimney, but the three little pigs were ready with a pot of boiling water waiting for him. The big bad wolf got burnt and ran away, never to bother the little pigs again.The moral of the story is that hard work and determination pay off. It's important to build things with quality materials and not take shortcuts. And also, it's always good to have a plan in case of emergencies.So, my friends, let's all be like the third little pig and build our houses strong and secure! The end.篇6Today I'm going to tell you about one of the texts from our high school English book, it's called "A Model Student". This text is really interesting because it's about a boy named Zhang Liang who is a really good student in school.Zhang Liang always listens in class and he never talks when the teacher is speaking. He also helps his classmates when they don't understand something. He is always polite and respectful to everyone. He is like a model for all the other students in the school.One day, the teacher asked the students to write an essay about their role models. Zhang Liang wrote about his father, who works really hard to provide for the family. His father is always kind and helpful to everyone around him. Zhang Liang wants to be just like his father when he grows up.The teacher was so impressed by Zhang Liang's essay that she read it out loud to the whole class. Everyone clapped and cheered for Zhang Liang. He felt really happy and proud of himself.In the end, Zhang Liang learned that being a model student is not just about getting good grades in school. It's also about being kind, respectful, and helpful to others. He realized that these qualities are what make a person truly admirable.So, my friends, let's all try to be like Zhang Liang - a model student who is not only smart, but also kind and caring. Let's work hard in school and be good role models for others. I hope you enjoyed this story and remember, being a model student is not just about studying hard, it's also about being a good person. Thank you for listening!。

UNIT 7 ARTLESSON 1 MASTERPIECES杰作(P 8-9)The Starry Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mentally ill. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window—the night sky with clouds, stars and a moon. However, he didn’t just paint the clouds. He also painted the massive circles of white and yellow racing across the sky. The stars and the moon hang bright in the night sky. Beneath this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree. 《星空》是文森特·凡·高于1889年6月在一家精神病院里创作的。
凡·高画了他看到的窗外景象——有云、星星和月亮的夜空。
然而，除了云之外，他还在天空中画了相互追逐的巨大白色和黄色光圈。
星星和月亮在夜空中熠熠生辉。
在这片神奇的夜空下，我们看到了一个沉睡的村庄和一棵黑暗孤独的树。
His unusual use of colour has led experts to think that Van Gogh’s mental illness may have affected his sense of sight. He also took a drug that can make people see yellow spots, just like the stars in The Starry Night.凡·高对色彩的应用很不寻常，专家们认为精神疾病可能影响了他的视力。
（完整word）北师大版高中英语课文必修三模块3U7 L11 The Spirit of ExplorersViking Voyages to AmericaThe Vikings were the first Europeans to reach America. They achieved this long before Columbus ever set sail. The Vikings were a group of people whose ancestors came from Scandinavia. They controlled the seas and coasts of Northern Europe between the 8th and 10th centuries AD. By around 900 AD, there were many places in Northern Europe where the Vikings chose to live. In 982 AD, when a man called Eric the Red decided to set sail further west, there were as many as 10,000 Vikings living in Iceland.According to the old stories of Iceland and Norway, Eric the Red was forced to leave Iceland because he had committed a murder, for which he got into trouble. Eric reached Greenland and discovered that people could live in the place where he landed. He returned to Iceland and told people there about Greenland. He persuaded some people to go back with him to Greenland. Eric set sail once again, this time with 25 ships, of which only 14 made it to Greenland. Not long after Eric the Red had landed in Greenland, a man called Biarni set sail from Iceland in search of Eric's party. Biarni was hoping to join his father who was with Eric, but he was blown off course and found himself in an unknown land, from where he eventually reached Greenland.In the year 1002, when Eric the Red's son Leif was planning a trip further west, Biarni was the man with whom Leif discussed his plans. Leif followed Biarni's directions and sailed to what isbelieved to be the coast of present-day Canada. He then sailed further south to an island which is now known as Newfoundland. We know about Eric the Red and Leif's deeds through stories which were written down centuries later in Norway and Iceland. They are the first records we have of Europeans sailing to the Americas.U7 L33 The Sea WorldUNDER WATER WORLDThe Best place to See Sea CreaturesPolar WorldWe have polar bears and a real iceberg too! You can only see a small part of it above the water. It's three times as big underwater. Watch the acrobatic seals at feeding time. Meet our less energetic but more friendly penguins. You'll love them!Ocean FloorSee some of the most beautiful coral and the most unusual fish in the world. Watch some fish “flying” through the water. They are less colourful than some other fish but they move beautifully.Sea TheatreSee our intelligent dolphins.There are fantastic shows every two hours.Discovery PoolEspecially for younger children. They can touch crabs and other smaller creatures. They can be educated about daily life on the beach in this exciting area.Virtual Reality VoyageOur most up-to-date attraction. Come with us on a “virtual reality” trip to theocean floor and see some of the strangest fish in the world.Noisiest Fish. Some fish c an produce sounds almost twice as loud as your speaking voice! You certainly won't find a noisier fish.Prettiest Fish. Some fish attract other fish with a light on their body – and then eat them!They have a huge mouth and can eat fish as big as themselves.Watch out!Tiniest Fish. Look carefully for the tiniest fish in the world. It is not as big as a fly in your house!Swim with dolphins and face an attack by the most dangerous creature in the sea – the great white shark!U7 L44 Sea StoriesIt may seem strange, but at that moment, when we were on the edge of the whirlpool, I felt calmer than when we were moving towards it. We went round and round, nearer and nearer to the horrible edge of the whirlpool. Suddenly, we went over the edge. I thought my life was over. But moment after moment passed, and I was still safe. The boat was on the inside of the huge whirlpool and we were going round in circles at great speed.I saw clearly that there were other objects in the whirlpool –trees and barrels. I noticed that the heavier objects went down more quickly than the smaller, lighter ones. So I tied myself to a barrel to help me float. I tried to make my brother understand, but he was terrified and stayed in the heavy boat. Without waiting, I dived into the sea to try and escape.About three years ago, something terrible happened to me. Those six hours of terror have broken my body and soul. You think I am a very old man – but I am not. It took less than a singleday to change my hair from black to white. One day, my two brothers and I were coming back from the islands, our boat full of fish. All at once, the sky was covered with dark clouds and in less than a minute we were in a terrible storm. An enormous wave covered our boat and my younger brother fell into the sea. Our boat survived, and I was trying to recover when my elder brother put his mouth close to my ear, and screamed out the terrifying word “Whirlpool!” With th e wind and waves we were going in the direction of the whirlpool, and nothing could save us!As you can see, I did escape. I will bring my story quickly to a conclusion. Some time after I left the boat, with my brother in it, it sank into the bottom of the whirlpool. Soon afterwards, the whirlpool became less violent. Then the sky was clear, the wind calmer and the moon was shining. I was still tied to the barrel and the waves soon carried me to an area where the other fishermen were. In the end, a boat picked me up. I was very tired. The fishermen were my old friends, but they were unable to recognize me. When I told them my story, they did not believe it. Now I have told you, and I cannot expect you to believe me more than the fishermen did.U8 L11 Adventure HolidaysJust imagine. You are walking along a mountain path in the Himalayas. You are feeling tired. You are thinking about how far there is to go. Then, suddenly you are there! And the amazing Mount Qomolangma is on the horizon. It looks great. A few minutes later, you arrive at the camp. The food cooking on the fire smells great and while you are having a hot cup of tea, you relax and watch the sun go down. At dinner, the food tastes fantastic. You talk with other people in the group abouteverything you have seen and done during your day's hiking. If you are looking for experiences like this, Adventure 2000 is the organization for you.A lot of hiking holidays sound exciting, but the reality is often very different.

This is a Class A hike — you have to be fit. There are walks of 6–8 hours most days, with a maximum altitude of 5,545 metres. Class B and C hikes are easier, so you don't need to be so fit.The hike costs ￡2,500 including all flights andaccommodation. Maximum group size is 15 people. Hikes are between October and May.U8 L33 Marco PoloMarco Polo and His TravelsMarco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. When he was 17 years old, he travelled across Europe and Asia with his father, who wanted to do trade with the Chinese. Eventually, they arrived in Beijing. At that time, China was ruled by the Yuan Dynasty Emperor, Kublai Khan.Kublai Khan welcomed Marco and his father. He was very happy to meet two foreigners and wanted to learn all about Europe. Marco and his father were guests at the Emperor's Palace. Although Marco was young, he was very clever and could already speak four languages. The Emperor was impressed by him and they became friends. He asked Marco to serve in his court and sent him to do many important tasks across the country.Marco, in turn, was amazed by how beautiful and powerful China was. He was very impressed by Beijing and the Emperor's Palace, especially the Summer Palace which he described as “The greatest palace that everwas ... The walls were covered in gold and silver and the Hall was so large it could easily seat 6,000 people for dinner.”There were inventions and developments in China which were not availablein Europe at that time. Marco was surprised to see Chinese people using paper money in the markets. In Europe, people paid for goods with gold or silver. He could not understand how people could pay for food and valuable things with paper! He was also confused by the black stones people used to burn forfuel. The black stones were coal, but Marco had never seen coal before!In 1291, after 17 years of service to the Emperor, Marco returned to Italy. He was now a very wealthy man. Not long after his return, a local war broke out near his town. During the war, Marco was the captain of a warship but was caught by the enemy and put into prison. However, Marco was lucky enough to meet another prisoner who enjoyed listening to his stories about China. The prisoner was an author and he took dictation while Marco told all his stories to him. The prisoner then wrote the stories in a book called The Description of the World, which became one of the best-selling books in Europe.Although people enjoyed reading his book, many of them thought that Marco's stories about China were too fantastic to be true. But Marco always stood by his tales. Just before he died, aged 70, Marco was asked the question, “Was it all true?”, to which he replied, “I have only told a half of what I saw!”U8 L44 Journey to the AntarcticThe RACE to the POLEOn 1 June, 1910, Captain Scott left London to begin his journey to the Antarctic. On his way, he received a message from the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen:“I'm going South.” So the race t o the South Pole was on! During the polar summer of 1910–1911, both teams organized food bases in preparation for their journeys the next year. Then came the total darkness of the polar winter. Scott and Amundsen waited anxiously for spring.Amundsen was the first to leave, on 15 October, 1911. He had teams of dogs pulling the sledges and all his men were onskis. Because of this, he made rapid progress. Scott left on 1 November and soon had problems. First, his two sledges broke down, and then the horses began to have serious difficulties with the snow and the cold. After a while, Scott and his men had to push the sledges themselves.Amundsen reached the Pole on 14 December and put a Norwegian flag there. Then he prepared for the return journey. Scott finally arrived at the Pole with four team members on 17 January. They were shocked whenthe y saw the Norwegian flag. Scott wrote sadly in his diary: “Well, we have now lost the goal of our ambition and must face 800 miles of hard pushing –and goodbye to most of our dreams.”The return journey was one of the worst in the history of exploration. The men were soon exhausted and were running out of food. The weather conditions were terrible. Scott started to realize their hopeless situation: “... we are very cheer ful, but what each man feels in his heart I can only guess. Putting on our shoes in the morning is getting slower and slower.”However, on their way back they found time to look for rocks. They carried 20 kilos of rocks all the way with them. Later, these rocks proved that at one time in the distant past the Antarctic was covered by plants. Then, disaster soon came. Edgar Evans had a terrible disease and died after a bad fall.The next to go was Captain Oates, who was having great difficulty walking. Scott recorded his death: “He said, ‘I am just going outside and I may be some time.' We knew that poor Oates was walking to his death, but though we tried to stop him, we knew that it was the act of a brave man and an English gentleman. We all hope to meet the end with a similar spirit, and certainly the end is not far.”Scott and two of his team members carried on and got within eleven miles of one of their food bases. But then a terrible storm started and they could not leave their tent. Scott spent some of his last hours writing. He wrote a letter full of sadness to his wife Kathleen: “I could tell you lots and lots about this journey. What stories you would have for the boy … But what a price to pay.”Scott's diary also told the story of their end: “We are ge tting weaker and weaker and the end can't be far. It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more.”The news of Scott's death shocked the world. He had failed to win the race to the Pole, but the extraordinary courage shown by Captain Scott and his men made them into heroes.Captain Scott and his team members reached the Pole, but with little to celebrate.U9 L11 On Your BikeReturn of the white bikes!People have been enjoying the benefits of cycling in Amsterdam for years. It is a good city for cycling because it is flat and therefore is convenient for bikes. There are also plenty of places for bicycle parking and most streets in the city centre have a bicycle path. Today some people call Amsterdam the “City of Bicycles” because of the convenienc e for bicycles there.In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren't allowed in the city centre and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in lots of neighbourhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Anyone was allowed totake them and use them for short journeys. Wherever someone finished a journey they would leave the bike there for someone else to use. The problem was that it didn't work – thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!However, more than thirty years later, the “white bike” is back in town – this time with a computer chip to record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to insert a special card. The new “white bike” is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place that has enough room.There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Indeed, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars for many years.U9 L33 Clean MachinesSolar Car RacingSolar racers have been coming to Australia for years for the World Solar Car Challenge. We interviewed Marie Logan from Brisbane.Q: Well, the first question I have for you is simple. What is a solar car?A: Solar cars are cars that use the sun's energy for power. That means they don't use petrol, gas or any other fuel, just the sunlight.Q: And why are people interested in solar cars?A: People have been worried about pollution caused by fuels like petrol and gas for a long time now. Solar cars are clean andsafe, so there is a lot of interest in them.Q: You've been designing solar racing cars for a long time. When did you start?A: Well, I've been interested in cars since kindergarten. When I was at university, I started designing my car. I've designed five or six different cars so far. And I've been taking part in races for about four years.Q: How many races have you taken part in?A: Let me think. Six. We've won two of them!Q: Where do these races take place?A: Well, the one I like best crosses the whole of Australia from northwest to southeast. It's about 4,500 km long!Q: Wow! How long does that take?A: These days the fastest cars can do it in six days.Q: And what have you been doing recently?A: I've been building a new car with a team from Queensland University. We've done a lot of work on it, but we haven't finished yet.Q: And you've been writing a book about solar cars.A: Well, so far I've only written the first few chapters! I want people to have a good impression of solar cars.Q: But a lot of people think that solar cars are too slow or not very reliable. How can you persuade them of the advantages of solar cars?A: Solar cars are getting better all the time. They have reached speeds of nearly 80 k.p.h. In tests, one car we built has averaged over 40 k.p.h., even in cloudy weather.Q: You've been working hard – good luck in the race!A: Thanks a lot.U9 L44 Car CultureThe Road to Destruction“This morning it took me forty minutes to get to work. More road construction works on the A10!” “Oh really? It took me over an hour. There was an accident on the M11.”“You're both lucky. It took me two hours! You don't have to use the M25.”How often have you heard these conversations? How often do we get stuck in traffic jams? How often do we arrive at work or school stressed out, tired and angry? For many people in Britain, the answer is every day. But anger and stress are nothing compared to the real costs of the motor car. Here are some figures: ? In the last ten years, the number of cars on the roads in Britain has gone up by 30%.There are now 25 million cars in this country.Over three thousand people die every year in road accidents in Britain.In London, car engines produce 99% of all carbon monoxide in the atmosphere.Twenty-five thousand deaths per year are caused by air pollution.Some types of cancer are related to traffic pollution.Traffic is one of the major causes of global warming and climate change. The averag e global temperature is about 0.5 degrees centigrade higher than it was 100 years ago.We know that cars are bad for us. So why do we carry on using our cars so much? We all mak e excuses: “The buses are terrible.” “The trains are always late!” “I haven't got time to walk.”I'm talking about myself, too. I admit: I'm addicted to my car.When I asked Jenny Trowe of Greenpeace for advice about how to give up, she told me six things:1 Use your legs. Over 25% of car journeys are under two miles – short journeys we could easily walk or cycle. Leg power can save you money, keep you fit and help you live longer. And regular exercise cuts the risk of heart disease by 50%!2 Use public transport. On average, about forty people travel in one bus, while the same number occupy thirty-three cars. Sometimes it can take a little bit longer, but so what? You can relax on the bus or train, read a book, talk to someone, meet the love of your life – who knows?3 Think before you go. Do you really have to go to that shopping centre on the other side of town? What about the shops around the corner? Before you get into your car, think about whether you really need to make that journey.4 Share cars. If you've really got to use a car, share journeys with someone else. It is much cheaper and kinder to the environment.5 Don't believe advertisements! Nearly a quarter of all the advertisements on TV are about cars. You see an attractive man or woman driving a fast car through beautiful countryside. It's not true! That new car won't make you more attractive. And you won't be driving on an empty country road. You'll be stuck in a traffic jam in a city or on a highway!6 Take action somehow! We often think there is nothing we can do about the noise, pollution and danger of traffic. There is. If your street's full of heavy traffic, talk to your neighbours about it. Write to the papers. Go to the city government. Ask for a speed limit. Ask for a pedestrian area. Do whichever of these things that suit you. Don't just sit around and complain!All quite simple, isn't it? Six easy ways to improve our environment. Well, I'm sorry I must finish this article. I've got to pick up my daughter from school at four o'clock. Then I've got to drive to Sainsbury's to do the shopping. After that I have to take my son to a party. And tomorrow we're driving over to see my mother. The traffic's going to be awful, but what can we do?。
必修三1航行到美洲的北欧海盗北欧海盗是第一批到达美洲的欧美人。
早在哥伦布起航之前，他们就已经到达那里了。
北欧海盗的祖先来自于斯堪地那维亚半岛。
公元8世纪到10世纪期间，他们控制着北欧海绵和沿海地区。
大约到公元900年，北欧很多地方都有海盗居住。
公元982年，冰岛生活着多达一万人的北欧海盗，就在此时，一个叫红发埃里克的人决定走向西远航。
根据冰岛和挪威的传说，红发艾里克银犯谋杀案而惹上麻烦，并被迫离开冰岛。
埃里克到达达格陵兰岛后，发现他登陆的地方可以居住，返回冰岛，告诉人么哪有管格陵兰岛的事情，病说服一些人与他一起回到格陵兰岛，埃里克再次起航时，有25艘船与他同行，但其中只有14艘最终到达格陵兰岛。
红发埃里克登上格陵兰岛不久，一个叫比阿尼的人也从冰岛起航来寻找埃里克一行人。
比阿尼希望找到和埃里克在一起的父亲，但大风使他偏离航线，刮到一个不知名的地方，从哪里他最终抵达格陵兰岛。
1002年红发埃里克的儿子利夫打算继续向西航行，他和比阿尼一同商量他们的在行计划。
利夫依照比阿尼的指点。
据说航信到了现在的加拿大海岸，他又继续南行至现在叫纽芬兰的岛屿。
我们从挪威和冰岛记载下来并流传几个世纪的传说中得知红发埃里克和利夫的事迹。
他们是记载中最早航行到达美洲的欧洲人。

北师大版高中英语新教材(选择性必修第三册)课文（Unit 7 | LESSON 3)英汉对照Lesson 3 Meet the New Boss: You第三课遇见新老板：你Up until the 1980s, people in many countries regularly followed in their parents’ footsteps by working in the family business or joining the same profession as them. You’d follow your father to sea, onto the farm or into the workshop. You’d follow your mother into the kitchen or sewing room. In your grandparents’ time, there was the prospect of doing the same job from graduation until retirement. How times have changed! Most people now have no intention of following in their parents’ footsteps or even staying at one job for very long.一直到20世纪80年代，在很多国家人们往往子承父业，参与家族生意，或选择与父母从事同一职业。
你可能会像父亲一样出海、去农场、进车间，也可能会像妈妈一样进厨房、去缝纫室。
在你祖父母的时代，人们的预期是从毕业到退休都做同样的工作。
现在时代变了!如今大多数人不再想子承父业，甚至不愿长时间做同一份工作。
In fact, planning to work in the same field or industry for your entire working life just isn’t practical anymore. One reason for this is technology. The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant and be enough to help you through your entire career. In fact, they will probably be out of date very soon. And then what will you do? Work hard? Win the lottery? Hope for the best? You might be lucky. These strategies might bring you a nice, comfortable life: working at ajob you lik e, earning a decent salary and retiring while you’re still young and healthy. But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”.事实上，在同一个领域、同一行业工作一辈子的想法已经不现实了。

Unit 7 Lesson 4 海洋故事B，三年前，我遇到了一件可怕的事，6个小时的恐惧情形让我身心俱毁，你现在会认为我是一个老人——其实我不是，就在不到一天的时间里，我的头发由黑变白。
那一天，我和我的两个兄弟从海上打鱼归来，船上载满了鱼，突然，天空乌云密布，我们在刹那间被卷入了可怕的暴风雨中，一个巨浪劈头盖脸地向我们的小船扑来。
小弟弟落水了，但船总算保住了，我刚从恐惧中回过神来，就在这时，哥哥把嘴凑到我耳旁，大声说出那个让人胆战心惊的词“漩涡”，巨大的风浪把我们推向漩涡，什么也救不了我们！A 看起来像是有点怪，就在我们靠近漩涡边缘的那一刻，我的心情比向它驶近时平静。
我们转了一圈又一圈，离可怕的漩涡边缘越来越近，我们猛然间到了边缘，我们觉得我的生命就要完结了，但时间一点点地过去，我还很安全，当船进入巨大的漩涡内部时，我们在漩涡里飞速地旋转着，这时，我清楚地看到，漩涡里还有其它东西，有树和木桶，我发现重物比轻物下降得快得多，于是我把自己捆住在一个木桶上，使我在水上漂浮，我努力使哥哥明白这一点，但他那时太恐惧了，呆坐在沉重的木船里，刻不容缓，我潜入海里设法逃生。
C 如你所见，我的确得救了，我的故事即将收尾，我离开船不久，哥哥随船沉入涡底，很快，漩涡变得更加猛烈，后来，天晴了，，见静了，月光在闪烁，我还被捆在木桶上，浪很快把我带到其他渔夫聚集的地方，最后，一艘船把我救起来，这时筋疲力尽了，那些渔夫是我的老伙伴，但他们也认不出我了，我给他们讲述这个故事时，他们觉得难以置信，当然，我也没期盼你会相信多少。
（摘自艾德加·爱伦·坡的《身陷大漩涡》）郑和七次下西洋郑和（1371-1435）是中国最著名的探险家之一，直到14世纪末期，他的舰队已经航行到了距离很远的国家。
郑和的舰队有着300只舰船，其中一些船长达150米，可以承载1000人。
除了为长期航行做出准备的补充粮食，穿上还载着黄金，丝绸，瓷器以及其他宝物作为礼物赠予邻国的统治者。
一些船上甚至还移植了土壤以便于船员在船上栽培谷物充当粮食。
在郑和的第一次远航中，他计划航渡印度洋。
他的舰队远离了大陆后航行了许多天。
有一天，他们遭受到了暴风雨，所有船员都认为船要沉默了，接着，一道奇怪的闪电闪过了船桅的顶部，这之后，风暴就过去了。
那道奇怪的闪电也许是雷暴雨中电。
许多船员在那一天都看到了风暴中出现在船桅顶端的闪电。
但是郑和舰队上的水手坚信那是来自神明的保护的信号。
从那之后，无论是去往哪里他们都很乐意追随着郑和。
郑和在1405至1433年间完成了七次远航。
他们到访了许多亚洲国家以及非洲。
郑和也在周游列国后带回了来自拜访国家的众多礼品，例如西药，珍珠和奇怪的动物。
这些礼物中最闻名遐迩的是一只长颈鹿和一支斑马。
当郑和在1433年结束他的第七次航行回国时，他已经62岁了。
在长达28年的旅行中，他成功地与列国分享了中国的光辉荣耀。
1435年郑和逝世，他曾经远航的故事使他成为了中国最著名的航海家之一。
Unit 8 Lesson 1喜马拉雅探险试想。
你正走在喜马拉雅山的一条路上，感到很疲惫。
正在想还要走多远。
突然你液晶达到目的地了！珠穆朗玛峰难以置信的出现在地平线上，如此壮观。
几分钟后，你到达营地。

如果想有这样的经历坦言2000最适合你。
很多原始旅行听起来令人兴奋，但是现实却非常不同。
远是旅行并不舒服，甚至还很危险，但是在探险2000我们理解跋涉旅行者的需要。
我们所有的导游都是有多年在喜马拉雅山上带领跋涉者的经验，他们熟悉所有最佳长途跋涉路线及最好的宿营地。
我们知道长途跋涉很艰难，我们也坚信旅行跋涉者需要帮助。
在长途跋涉中，出事回备好美味食品。
搬运工则会帮助你搬运你们的行李。
这样就以为这你能尽情享受旅行了。
在探险2000中，我们同样认为，良好的旅游安排也是非常重要的。
我们为你安排所有航班，首先从伦敦直飞北京，再从北京飞往拉萨，然后乘车在西藏旅游，在北京和拉萨，住宿在舒适。
方便的饭店，旅行途中住旅店，宿营地则配有单，双人帐篷。
我们还以为那些不想接受回家的游客提供特殊的服务。
如果你喜欢历史，会安排你去中国西部旅行。
如果你宁愿在海边多停留些日子，我们可以为你安排旅行和食宿。
这是 A类远是旅行你需要有健壮的体魄。
大多数时间里，每天在海拔搞到5545米的高原上不行5至8小时。
B类和C类旅行要容易一点，不要求具备那么强健的体能，旅行费用为2.500英镑，包括所有路费和食宿费，每组最多15人，时间在10月和5月期间。

皇帝让马可留在朝廷服务，派他到全国各地完成了多项使命。
马可也被中国的魅力和请打所震撼，北京和皇宫给他留下了深刻的印象。
尤其是夏宫，他称它为迄今最伟大的宫殿，他的墙用黄金和白银漆成，宫殿大致可容纳6000然同时进食。
那时，中国的发明和发展是欧洲所没有的。
马可惊奇的发现中国市场上流通的纸币，而在欧洲，那时人们还是用金，银卖货物，他惊异人们怎么可以用纸来买食物和值钱的物品。
他也不明白为什么人们用喝死的是同做材料，这种黑色的是同就是煤炭，马可从没有见过煤！1291年，在中国味皇帝效力17年后，马可回到意大利。

但是马可总是信守他所讲的每一个故事。
马可70岁去世，临终前，有人问他，你讲的故事都是真的吗？马可回答道：我将的只是我所看到的一半。
Unit 8 Lesson4向极地赛跑1910年6月11日，斯科特上校离开伦敦开始他的南极探险。
在途中，他收到一封来自挪威探险家罗纳德*阿蒙森的信，我正向南极进发。
一场奔向南极的赛跑就这样开始了。
在1910年到1911年的极地夏天，两队人走在为下一年的探险做食物准备，接着漆黑的极地冬夜开始了。
斯科特和阿蒙森都迫不及待的等待着春天曙光的来临， 1911年10月15日。
，阿蒙森第一个出发了。
有一对狗为他拉雪橇。
所有人都配有滑雪板。
因此。
他前进的速度很快。
斯科特11月1日出发，出发后不久就遇到了麻烦。
现实他的两个雪橇坏了，后来马匹开始应付不了大雪和严寒的天气。
过来一段时间，斯科特不得不和队员们一起推雪橇了。
阿蒙森12月14日到达了南极，在南极上插上了挪威国旗。
然后他准备回程。
斯科特和四名队员终于1月17日到达南极。
当时他们看到了挪威国旗。
感到灰心失望。
斯科特在日记中痛苦的写道：我们现在已经无法实现我们的抱负，但还的面对800英里的艰难跋涉——与我们的许多梦想说再见。
他们返回的形成是探险史上最艰难的。
队员们很快就筋疲力竭了，而食物也快吃完了。
天气异常恶劣。
斯科特逐渐意识到他们所处的越来越慢了。
尽管如此，在返程途中，他们还抽时间采集岩石。
他们一路上携带了20公斤岩石。
后来这些石块证实：在遥远的过去。
南极曾经被植物覆盖。
灾难很快来袭。
埃德加*伊文思宣言冻伤，重重的跌倒后死去。
接下来离开的是欧茨上校，他行走艰难。
斯科特记录了他的死亡：他说。
我出去走走。
可能要走上一会，我们都知道可怜的欧茨在走向死亡，尽管我们试图阻拦，但我们都知道这是勇敢者的举动，是英国绅士的行为。
