Although many students liketo watch sports,game shows are the most popular.It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows,but we think the best way to relax is through exercise.It is healthy for the mind and the body.Exercise such as playing sports is fun,and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together.And remember,“old habits die hard”.So start exercising before it’s too late!Unit 3 I’m more outgoing than my sister.2d conversation:A:Did you like the singing competition yesterday,AnnaB:Oh,it was fantastic!

Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.Sometimes people just forget about them.For this reason,some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you —will you make any next yearUnit 7 Will people have robots2d conversation:A:What are you reading, JillB:It is book about the future.A:Sounds cool.

Making a turkey dinnerHere is one way to make turkey for a Thanksgiving dinner.First,mix together some bread pieces,onions,salt and pepper.Next,fill the turkey with this bread mix.Then,put the turkey in a hot oven and cook it for a few hours.

She could read by herself at the age of four last year, she decided to try out for a volunteer after school reading program. She still works there once a week to help Kids learn to read. The kids are sitting in the library, but you can see in their eyes that they are going on a different journey with each new book. V olunteering here is a dream come true for me. I can do what I love to do and help others at the same time .2bDear Miss Li:I'd like to thank you for giving money to animal helpers. I'm sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. You helped to make it possible for me to have lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my life. Let me tell you my story. What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you can't walk or use your hands easily. Most people would never think about this. But many people have these difficulties. I can't use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone opening and closing doors all carrying things are difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out. She talked to animal helpers about getting me a special trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I love animals. And I was excited about the idea of having a dog. After six months of training with a dog at animal helpers, I was able to bring him home. My dog's name is lucky. A good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You say I'm unable to have a dog helper because of your kindness. Lucky is very clever and understands many Englishwords. He can understand me when I give him orders, for example, I say“Lucky get my book. ”And he does it at once. Lucky is a fantastic dog. I will send you a photo of him if you like. And I could show you how he helps me. Thank you again for changing my life .Best wishesBen Smith.Unit 3 Could you please clean your room?3aLast month, our dog welcomed me when I came home from school. He wanted a walk, but I was too tired. I threw down my bag and went to the living room. The minute I sat down in front of the tv, my mom came over. Could you please take the dog for a walk? She asked. Could I watch one show for first? I asked. No, she replied angrily. You watch tv all the time and never helped out around the house. I can't work all day and do housework all in. Evening. Well, I work all day at school, too. I'm just as tired as you are! I shouted back .My mom did not say anything and walked away for my way. She did not do any housework and neither did I. Finally, I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt . The next day, my mom came home from work to find the house clean and tidy. What happened? She asked in surprise. I'm so sorry, mom. I finally understand that we need to share the housework to have a clean and comfortable home. I replied.2 bDear sir,I do not understand why some parents make their kids half with the houseworkand chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university also when they get older, they will have to do housework. So there is no need for them to do it now it's the parents job to provide a clean and comfortable environment. At home for their children anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I do not mind doing that.Dear sir,I think it's important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It's not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always asking, could you get this for me all. Could you help me with that? Doing chores helps to develop children's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping. She is clean and tidy. Our name is sun got into a good college. But during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of herself as a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent. The better it is for their future.Mr. Smith.Unit 4 Why do you talk to your parents?3aDear mr. Hunt,My problem is that I can't get on with my family relations between my parents have some have become difficult. They fight a lot and I really don't like it. It's the only communication they have. I don't know if I should say anything to them about this. When they argue, it's like a big black card hanging over our home also my elder brother is not very nice to me. He always refuse to let me watch my favorite tv show instead, he watches whatever he wants. Until late at night. I don't think this is fair. And I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do?Sad and 13Dear friend and 13.It’s not easy being your age, and it's normal to have these feelings. Why don't you talk about these feelings with your family? If your parents are having problems, you should offer to help. Maybe you could do more jobs around the house so that they have more time for proper communication. Secondly, why don't you sit down and communicate with your brother? You should explain that. You don't mind him watching tv all the time. However, he should let you watch your favorite show. I hope things will be better for you soon .Robot Hunt.2bMaybe you should learn to relaxThese days, Chinese children are sometimes be there on weekends, the weekdays. Because they have to take so many after school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills So that they can get into A good high school. And later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesn'tonly happen in China. The taylors are a typical American family life. For cathy taylor's three children is very busy almost days after school, casey says, I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children's future. I really want. Want them to be successful. However, the tired children don't get home until after seven PM. They have a quick dinner. And then it's time for homework .Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older, she says mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It's crazy. I don't think that's fair. Why don't they just, they let their kids be kids? People shouldn't push their kids so hard , doctors say too much pressure is not good for children. Childrens development, DR. Alice green. All these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves too. Although it's normal to want successful children, it's even more important to have happy children.Unit 5 What were you doing when the rainstorm came?3aThe storm brought people closer togetherBen could hear strong winds outside his home in alabama black clouds were making the sky very hard with no light outside, it felt like midnight.

This was an important event in American history on this day, Doctor Martin Luther King was killed, although some people may not remember who killed him, they remember what they were doing when they heard the news. Robert Allen is now over 50, but he was a school pupil at that time. I was at home with my parents. Robert remembers. We were eating dinner in the kitchen when we heard the news on the radio. The news report said DR. King died just 10 minutes ago. My parents were completed completely shocked. My parents did not talk after that.And we finished the rest of our dinner in Silence .More recently, most americans remember what they were doing when the world trade center in new york was taken down by terrorists. Even date september 11, 2001 has meaning to most americans . This was a day kate Smith will never forget. She remembers walking in her office near the two towers. My friend shouted that a plane just hit the world trade center. I didn't believe him at first. But then I looked out of the window and realized that it was true. I was so scared that I could hardly think clearly after that.。

Module 1 How to learn EnglishUnit 1 Let ’s try to speak English as much as possible.Ms James: Welcome back, everyone! Today, w’e re going to talk about good ways to learn English. Ready? Who has some advice?Lingling: We should always speak English in class.Ms James: Good! Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.Daming: Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooks?Ms James: That’s a good idea. And don ’t forget to write down the correct answers next to the mistakes. What else?Lingling: It ’s a good idea to spell and pronounce new words aloud every day.Ms James: Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the radio?Lingling: Yes, that’s good for our pronunciation too. But there are so many new words.Ms James: You don’t need to understand every word. You just need to listen for key words and main ideas.Daming: That’s the same for reading. English stories are so interesting. I get to knowa lot about the world through reading.Lingling: I think writing is also important. Why don ’t we try to find some English pen friends? We can write to them.Ms James: Excellent! I agree with you.Unit 2 You should smile at her!Send your questions to Diana, the Language Doctor.Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three basic questions.The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I like watching English films and listening to English songs, but I canonly understand a little. What can I do?”Watching films and listening to songs are great way to learn English! Watch and listen several times, and guess the meaning of the new words. Each time you will learn something new. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote“,O ur school has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I do?”You can say,“Hello! How are you? ”“Do you like China?”These are good ways to start a conversation. And before you begin, you should smile at her! Remember this: Do not be shy. Just try.The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote, “I write down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them?”Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.Module 2 My home town and my countryUnit 1 It ’s taller than many other buildings.Tony: Hey, Daming! How was your weekend?Daming: Pretty good! I went to Shenzhen.Tony: Where’s Shenzhen?Daming: Well, it ’s on the coast near Hong Kong. It was a small village about thirty years ago, but today i’t s a very big city.Tony: So it’s a newer city than Hong Kong?Daming: Yes, it ’s a newer city. In fact, it only became important in the 1980s.It’s getting bigger and busier. Some day it will become as busy as Hong Kong, I’m sure.Tony: What’s the population of Shenzhen?Daming: It ’s over ten million, I think. That ’s larger than the population of many other cities in China. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. I think it’s a beautiful city.Tony: I’d like to go to there one day.Daming: Remember to visit the Diwang Tower. It ’s taller than many other buildings in Shenzhen.Unit 2 Cambridge is a beautiful city in the east of England.Cambridge, London and EnglandBy Tony SmithI come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is on the River Cam and has a population of about 120,000. My home is especially famous for its university. Many famous people studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and churches to visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the River Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cambridge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge.England itself is a part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and beaches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low and beautiful lakes in the north, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice how green the countryside is.It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the year, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days.Module 3 Language in useUnit 1 Nothing is more exciting than playing tennis.Daming: Hey, Tony. Come and watch the football match on T.VTony: OK. What’s the score?Daming: Spain scored a minute ago.Tony: Wow! That’s fast!Daming: That’s right. Last week the match on TV was so boring becauseno one scored at all. So this week’s match is already more exciting.Betty: What’s the matter with you, Tony? You look tired.Tony: I’m really tired after last night’s tennis match. And I hurt my knee.Daming: That’s too bad! Sit down and watch the match. I’ts safer than playing tennis. Betty: Yes, watching is not sure about that. Nothing is more relaxing too!Tony: Well, I’m not sure about that. Nothing is more enjoyable than playing tennis. Betty: But you enjoyed watching the Olympics on TV, right?Tony: Yes, but tha’t s because it was cheaper than buying tickets for all the games. Daming: And staying at home was easier than going to the stadium. Oh, look at that! Tony: Oh, he missed! Oh, bad luck!Daming: Never mind. There’s still plenty of time for them to score.Unit2 This year we practice more carefully.Training hardBy Li Daming It is Saturday tomorrow, but I am going to school. I am not going for lessons, but to play football. I am in our school team and we are going to play against another school next week. The practice starts at 10 am. We all arrive as early as we can so that we have time to warm up. We are training harder than usual because the otherteam beat us last year. This year we want to do better.It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are short and the weather is cold too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be late for after-school practice.Our coach is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year we were sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team in the final match. What a pity! This year we practise more carefully. That means we have a better chance of winning.The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to play well so that we have more fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our fans around. They cheer us on loudly and we feel more confident to win the game.Module 4 Planes, ships, and trainsUnit1 He lives the farthest from schoolBetty: I was late for school today.Mum: Why? What happened?Betty: I took the bus. There was a road accident, and the traffic was very heavy. But nobody was late, except me. Maybe I should go to school by taxi.Mum: It ’s the most comfortable way, but i’t s also the most expensive.Betty: Then what about going by bike?Mum: That’s a good choice, but i’t s a bit dangerous. Ther’e s so much traffic.Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, and it ’s quite safe. Don’t worry. I ’ll be carefull.Mum: How does Tony go to school?Betty: He lives the farthest from school, so he takes the underground.Mum: And what about Lingling?Betty: Her home is the closest to school, so she walks.Mum: How about Daming?Betty: He goes by bus too, the same as me. But it ’s so crowded! And the traffic is heavy.Mum: All right. You can ride your bike to school, but remember to be careful all the time.Unit2 What is the best way to travel?Question: What is the best way to travel from London to Amsterdam.I am planning to travel from London to Amsterdam. How long does the journey take and what is the best way to travel? Could you please tell me about the trains or ships to get there? The more information, the better. Thanks!Best answer: There are four ways to travel.A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more expensive. When you go by train, buy your ticket a long time before you travel. It is usually cheaper.You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the most expensive. Book your ticket before you book your hotel. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside the city centre and travel in by bus or by train.The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest,but in summer the coachessometimes get crowded! And it takes you about twelve hours to get there. However, it will not cost as much as going by train.Finally, you can fly. It is the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip.Module 5 Lao She TeahouseUnit 1 I wanted to see the Beijing OperaBetty: Lingling and I went to Lao She Teahouse last night.Tony: How was it?Betty: It was great! You know, I wanted to see Beijing Opera, so Lingling offered to take me there. We drank tea and watched an opera.Tony: Did you understand the opera?Betty: No, it was difficult to understand the words. But the actors and actress were excellent. Tony: How long did you stay?Betty: We only planned to watch for an hour, but in the end, we stayed for three hours.Tony: Did you enjoyed it?Betty: Well, it was interesting---that ’s the main thing. I hope to understand more next time. Tony: Do you often go to see Beijing Opera, Lingling?Lingling: No, I don ’t. I wanted to take Betty to the teahouse because it ’s famous.Tony: Who is Lao She?Betty: No idea. Ask Lingling.Lingling: Lao She is a great writer. He ’s especially famous for his play Teahouse.Unit 2 It describes the changes in Chinese society.Teahouse is one of Lao She’s most famous plays. He wrote it in 1957. The play has three acts and shows the lives of common people in China from the end of the nineteenth century to the middle of twentieth century. It tells us the story of Wang Lifa and the customers of his teahouse in Beijing. It describes the changes in Chinese society over fifty years around the beginning of the twentieth century.Lao She was born in Beijing in 1899. His mother sent him to a teacher ’s school in 1913. After finishing school in 1918, he became a head teacher of a primary school. In 1924 Lao She left home and went to England. He taught Chinese at a college in London and returned to China five years later. He wrote many plays, novels and short stories about people ’s lives, and was named “the People’s Artist ”. Lao She is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the twentieth century.At Lao She Teahouse today, customers can drink tea and eat delicious Beijing food. If youlike the Beijing Opera, traditional music or magic shows, you can enjoy them at the teahouse. Lao She Teahouse gives a warm welcome to everyone from all over the world.Module 6 Animals in dangerUnit 1 It allows people to get closer to them.(Lingling and Betty are leaving the zoo ）Lingling: Did you like the zoo?Betty: Yes! I saw the pandas at last! But I am more interested to see the pandas in the Wolong Panda Reserve, because it allows people to get closer to them.Lingling: It ’s sad to think of the pandas and other animals in danger.Betty: We need to protect them better.Lingling: Yes, Many wild animals don ’t have a safe place to live, because villages and farms are growing bigger and are taking away their land and forests.Betty: Also, often there isn ’t enough clean water, because we’ve made it dirty. I think we all need to help animals live in peace. Look, there ’s a notice.Lingling : It says,“Help! We want to save animals in danger, and we need your help. ”Betty: But what can we do?Lingling: It says“,Your money pays to look after the animals. ”That means we can give money to help protect the animals.Betty: Maybe we can raise some money at school. Let ’s find out what else we can do to save as many animals as possible.Unit 2 The WWF is working hard to save them all.Pandas are in danger. There are only about 1,600 pandas living in the wild today. Zoos and research centres are looking after about 340 pandas. Pandas do not have many babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is getting very difficult. Scientist are doing a lot of research to help pandas produce more babies and help baby pandas live.Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. Each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pandas are losing their home. And there are not many pandas left.In order to protect pandas in the wild, the government is setting up nature parks and developing other plans. The nature parks will be big and there will be more bamboo to feed the pandas. Pandas born in zoos may go back to live in the nature parks.The World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) wants to protect all animals. And it chose the panda to be its symbol. We do not want to lose tigers, elephants, or any other animals, so the WWF is working hard to save them all.Module 7 A famous storyUnit 1 Alice was sitting with her sister by the riverTony: Hi, Lingling !Lingling: Ssh!

She heard the rabbit say, “Oh dear! I ’ll be late! ”and she did not think it was strange . Then the rabbit took a watch out of its pocket and looked at it. A rabbit with a pocket and a watch? Alice got up and ran across the field after it. She saw it go down a large rabbit hole in the ground.Then Alice went down after it, but never thought about how she going to get out again. She found that she was falling down a very, very deep hole. It was too dark for her to see anything.She was falling for a long time. While she was falling, she was thinking about her cat, Dinah.

The car stopped just in time, but the boy fell off his bike andhurt his knee.Tony: That ’s too bad.Ms James: So when you ’re on your bike, think about the risk of an accident! Pay attention, stopat the red lights and .... what else?Betty: Don ’t ride too fast/Daming: Don ’t ride side by side with your friends.Ms James: Anything else?All: Don ’t listen to music!Unit 2 I was trying to pick it up when it bit me again.Smile, please!One day, when Henry was working in a restaurant , a snake suddenly appeared and bit his hand.A few days earlier, the snake arrived from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out and hid somewhere.“I was trying to pick it up when it bit me again. I threw it across the kitchen, and it landedon a table.”While the snake was lying on the table, Henry quickly picked up his mobile phone and tooka photo with it . Then the snake hid behind the fridge.When Henry was trying to find the snake , his hand began to hurt badly. He hurried to hospital . As the doctors were checking him, the pain got worse.But they could not help him because they did not know what kind of snake bit him,As he was lying there in great pain,Henry suddenly remembered the photo . The doctorssent the photo to a zoo.As soon as they learnt what kind of snake bit him, they gave Henry theright medicine, and he left hospital the next day.“So if a snake bites you, take out your mobile phone or camera.

The make over 131.4 million births a year.Betty: I can’t believe it!Lingling: I can’t believe it!Betty: The population of China is about 1.37 billion.

I ’ll write that down too!Betty: But in the future, China ’s population won ’t grow so fast, because families are getting smaller.Lingling: How do you know all this?Betty: I wrote my report yesterday!Tony: Great, thanks! Now I can write my report!Unit 2 Arnwick was a city with 200,000 peopleJo is fifteen and lives in Parkville. When Jo ’s grandparents fist came to Parkville, it was a quiet village. They had a small house, close to fields and hills.Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with 200,000 people . People from Parkville moved to Arnwick to find jobs, and they needed places to live. However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the government built flats outside the centre. Soon, Parkville became part of Arnwick , and Arnwick became a city with over a million people. Jo ’s family lives in one of those flats. It is very crowed, and rubbish is also a problem.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago, so Jo now has to got to a school in Arnwick with 2000 pupils. It takes an hour to get there by bus. There is a lot of traffic and population.It is clear that Arnwick needs more schools ,buses and hospitals . It needs fresh air, clean water and better public services. It also needs more police to protect its people. But to do all t hese things, it needs more money.However, can money help solve all these problems? Do we need more big cities like this? In fact, this is just a story. But it describes what is happening all over the world. Could it be y our town some day?Module 10 The weatherUnit 1 It might snow.Betty: Hey,boys!Tony: Hi,Betty.Hi, Lingling.Where are you going?Betty: We’re going to the park to skate.There ’s thick ice on the lake.Are you coming with us?

I really wanted one.Lingling: We’re happy you like it.Tony: I noticed another difference. In China, you accept a gift with both hands .But in the west ,we usually don ’t pay much attention to that.Betty: That’s interesting ! I ’m interested to know all the Chinese traditions. Tell me more . Lingling: There are a lot. For example , in my home town,people say you mustn ’t do any cleaning on the first day of the Spring Festival. And you mustn ’t break anything. It ’s bad luck!Daming: You must only use red paper for hongbao because red means luck. And you ’d better not have your hair cut during the Spring Festival month.Tony: You can’t be serious.Daming: And in the north of China, people eat lots of jiaozi!Betty: Perfect!

When you get to know each other better or when they ask you to, you can just use their first names.One day,we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together. Afternoon tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm.We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake. In England , you usually drink tea with milk.So I tried to drink tea with milk too.Fish and chips is a traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fish and chip shops on the high street , or you can take it away and eat it with your fingers ! It ’s delicious.At the bus stop, you must not push your way onto the bus.You need to stand in a line andwait your turn.Sometimes people are slow to get on the bus, Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smile politely and say, “Excuse me! Are you waiting for this bus? ”He was really polite.Module 12 HelpUnit 1 What should we do before help arrives?Ms James: This morning ’s class is about first aid, or giving someone basic medical help .Let ’s imagine an accident.

Call 120?Ms James: Good idea, but what should we do before help arrives?Tony: Make him comfortable.Ms James: And how can we do that?Tony: Lift him up and sit him on a chair?Ms James: No, that could be harmful! You could drop him and hurt him even more. Betty, youmust know! You did some basic medical training.Betty: Make sure he’s warm. Cover him with a coat.Ms James: That’s such good advice that you could be a doctor, Betty!Unit 2 Stay away from windows and heavy furnitureEarthquakes always happen suddenly, so it is difficult to warn people about ually people have little or no idea about what to do during an earthquake, so here is some a dvice:Inside1.

系统复习资料八年级上册英语课文原文Unit 1Where did you go on vacation?Section A 2dRick：Hi，Helen.Long time no see.Helen：Hi，Rick.Yes，I was on vacation last month.Rick：Oh，did you go anywhere interesting?Helen：Yes，I went to Guizhou with my family.Rick：Wow！Did you see H uangguoshu Waterfall?Helen：Yes，I did.It was wonderful！①We took quite a few photos there.What about you？Did you do anything special last month?Rick：Not really.②I just stayed at home most of the time to read and relax.,Section B 2bDid Jane have a good time on Monday？What about on Tuesday?Monday，July 15thI arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my family.①It was sunny and hot，so we decided to go to the beach near our hotel.②My sister and I tried paragliding.③I felt like I was a bird.It was so exciting！For lunch，we had something very special-Malaysian yellow noodles.They were delicious！In the afternoon，we rode bicycles to Georgetown.④There are a lot of new buildings now，but many of the old buildings are still there.In We ld Quay，a really old place in Georgetown，we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago.⑤I wonder what life was like here in the past.I really enjoyed walking around the town.Tuesday，July 16th⑥What a difference a day makes！My father and I decided to go to Penang Hill today.We wanted to walk up to the top，but then it started raining a little so we decided to take the train.⑦We waited over an hour for the train because there were too many people.When we got to the top，it was raining really hard.We didn't have an umbrella so we were wet and cold.It was terrible！⑧And because of the bad weather，we couldn't see anything below.⑨My f ather didn't bring enough money，so we only had one bowl of fish and rice.I was so hungry！But it tasted great！,Unit 2How often do you exercise?Section A 2dJack：Hi，Claire，are you free next week?Claire：①Hmm...next week is quite full for me，Jack.Jack：Really？How come?Claire：I have dance and piano lessons.Jack：What kind of dance are you learning?Claire：Oh，swing dance.It's fun！I have class once a week，every Monday.Jack：How often do you have piano lessons?Claire：Twice a week，on Wednesday and Friday.Jack：Well，how about Tuesday?Claire：Oh，I have to play tennis with my friends.But do you want to come?Jack：Sure！,Section B 2bWhat Do No.5 High School Students Do in Their Free Time?Last month we asked our students about their free time activities.Our questions were about exercise，use of the Internet and watching TV.Here are the results.We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day.Fortyfive percent exercise four to six times a week.Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week.And twenty percent do not exercise at all!We all know that many students often go online，but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day.The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week.Most students use it for fun and not for homework.The answers to our questions about watching television were also intere sting.Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week.Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week.And eightyfive percent watch TV every day！①Although many students like to watch sports，game shows are the most popular.②It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows，but we think the best way to relax is through exercise.It is healthy for the mind and the body.③Exercise such as playing sports is fun，and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together.④And remember，“old habits die hard”．So start exercising before it's too late！,Unit 3I'm more outgoing than my sister.Section A 2dJulie：Did you like the singing competition yesterday，Anna?Anna：Oh，it was fantastic！Nelly sang so well!Julie：Yes，but I think Lisa sang better than Nelly.Anna：Oh，which one is Lisa?Julie：The one with shorter hair.①I think she sang more clearly than Nelly.Anna：Yes，but Nelly danced better than Lisa.Julie：②But you can tell that Lisa practiced a lot more and really wanted to win.Anna：Well，everyone wants to win.But the most important thing is to learn something and have fun.,Section B 2bJeff GreenMy mother told me a good friend is like a mirror.I'm quieter and more serious than most kids.That's why I like reading books and studying harder in class.My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too，so we enjoy studying together.I'm shy so it's not easy for me to make friends.①But I think friends are like books—you don't need a lot of them as long as they're good.Huang LeiIt's not necessary to be the same.My best friend Larry is quite different from me.He is taller and more outgoing than me.We both like sports，but he plays tennis better，so he always wins.②I'm getting better，though.As Larry often says，③“My best friend helps to bring out the best in me.” However，Larry is much less hard-working，so I always get better grades.④Maybe I should help him more.Mary SmithI don't really care if my friends are the same as me or different.My favorite saying is，⑤“A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny.⑥In fact，she's funnier than anyone I know.I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better.⑦We can talk about and share everything.I know she cares about me because she's always there to listen.,Unit 4What's the best movie theater?Section A2dGreg：Hi，I'm Greg.I'm new in town.Helen：Hi，I'm Helen.Welcome to the neighborhood！How do you like it so far?Greg：It's fantastic，but I still don't really know my way around.Helen：Well，the best supermarket is on Center Street.You can buy the freshest food there.Greg：Oh，great.Is there a cinema around here？I love watching movies.Helen：Yes，Sun Cinema is the newest one.You can sit the most comfortably because they have the biggest seats.Greg：Thanks for telling me.Helen：①No problem.,Section BWho's Got Talent?Everyone is good at something，but some people are truly talented.It's always interesting to watch other people show their talents.Talent shows are getting more and more popular.First，there were shows like American Idol and America's Got Talent.Now，there are similar shows around the world，such as China's Got Talent.①All these shows have one thing in common：They try to look for the best singers，the most talented dancers，the most exciting magicians，the funniest actors and so on.All kinds of people join these shows.But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully？②That's up to you to decide.③When people watch the show，they usually play a role in deciding the winner.And the winner always gets a very good prize.However，not everybody enjoys watching these shows.④Some think that the lives of the performers are made up.⑤For example，people who say they are poor farmers are in fact just actors.⑥But if you don't take these shows too seriously，they are fun to watch.⑦And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.,Unit 5Do you want to watch a game show?Section A 2dGrace：What did you do in class today，Sarah?Sarah：We had a discussion about TV shows.My classmates like game shows and sports shows.Grace：①Oh，I can't stand them.I love soap operas.②I like to follow the story and see what happens next.Sarah：Well，I don't mind soap operas.But my favorite TV shows are the n ews and talk shows.Grace：They're boring!Sarah：③Well，they may not be very exciting，but you can expect to learn a lot from them.I hope to be a TV r eporter one day.,Section B 2bWhen people say “c ulture”，we think of art and history.①But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon.We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—Mickey Mouse.②Over 80 years ago，he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie.③When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18,1928，it was the first cartoon with sound and music.The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney.④He became very rich and successful.In the 1930s，he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular.One of the main r easons is that Mickey was like a common man，but he always tried to face any danger.⑤In his early films，Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend，Minnie.⑥However，he was always ready to try his best.People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win.Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.On November 18,1978，Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.Peo ple today expect to see more than just a little mouse fighting bad guys，but many still know who he is.Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey's？,Unit 6I'm going to study computer science.Section A 2dAndy：What are you reading，Ken?Ken：The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway.Andy：Wow，now I know why you'r e so good at writing stories.Ken：Yes，I want to be a writer.Andy：Really？How are you going to become a writer?Ken：①Well，I'm going to keep on writing stories，of course.What do you want to be?Andy：②My parents want me to be a doctor，but I'm not sure about that.Ken：Well，don't worry.Not everyone knows what they want to b e.Just make sure you try your best.Then you can be anything you want!Andy：Yes，you're right.,Section B 2b1．Do you know what a resolution is？It's a kind of promise.①Most of the time，we make promises to other people.(“Mom，I promise I'm going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”)However，promises you make to yourself are resolutions，and the most common kind is New Year's resolutions.The_start_of_the_year_is_often_ a_time_for_making_resolutions.②When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year，we hope that we are going to improve our lives.③Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year.This helps them to remember their resolutions.How_about_you_—_will_you_make_any_next_year?2．There are different kinds of resolutions.Some are about physical health.For example，some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food.④Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement.These are about making yourself a better person.⑤Some people m ight say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos，or learn to play the guitar.Some resolutions have to do with better planning，like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.For example，a student may have to find more time to study.3．Although there are differences，most resolutions have one thing in common.People hardly ever keep them！There are good reasons for this.Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.Sometimes people just forget about them.For this reason，some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions！Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.,Unit 7Will people have robots?Section A 2dNick：What are you reading，Jill?Jill：It's a book about the future.Nick：Sounds cool.So what will the future be like?Jill：①Well，cities will be more crowded and polluted.There will be fewer trees and the environ ment will be in great danger.Nick：That sounds bad！Will we have to move to other planets?Jill：Maybe.But I want to live on the earth.Nick：Me，too.Then what can we do?Jill：②We can use less water and plant more trees.③Everyone should play a part in saving the earth.,Section B 2bDo You Think You Will Have Y our Own Robot?When we watch movies about the future，we sometimes see robots.They are usually just like human servants.①They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.②Today there are already robots working in factories.③For example，they can help to build cars，and they do simple jobs over and over again.Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring，but robots will never get bored.④Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future.⑤However，they agree it may take hundreds of years.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as us.Some robots in Japan can even walk and dance.These kinds of robots are fun to watch.But scientist James White thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a person.For example，it's easy for children to wake up and know where they are.⑥Mr.White thinks that robots won't be able to do this，but some scientists disagree.They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.New robots will have many different shapes.Some will look like humans，and others might look like snakes.⑦If buildings fall down with people inside，snake robots will be able to help look for people under the buildings.⑧That may not seem possible now，but computers and rockets seemed impossible 100 years ago.We never know what will happen in the future！,Unit 8How do you make a banana milk shake?Section A 2dAnna：Sam，I want to make Russian soup for a party on Saturday.Can you tell me how?Sam：Sure.First，buy some beef，one cabbage，four carrots，three potatoes，five tomatoes and one onion.Then，cut up the vegetables.Anna：What's next?Sam：①Next，put the beef，carrots and p otatoes into a pot and add some water.After that，cook them for 30 minutes.Then，add the cabbage，tomatoes and onion and cook for another 10 minutes.Anna：OK，that's it?Sam：②No，one more thing.③Finally，don't forget to add some salt.,Section B 2bThanksgiving in the United States①In most countries，people usually eat traditional food on special holidays.A special day in the United States is Thanksgiving.There are many reasons for this special day.For some people，it is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn.So it is always on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States.At this time，people also remember the first travelers from England who came to live in America about 500 years ago.②These travelers had a long，hard winter，and many of them died.In the next autumn，they gave thanks for life and food in their new home.③These days，most Americans still celebrate this idea of giving thanks by having a big meal at home with their family.The main dish of this meal is almost always turkey，a large bird.Making a turkey dinnerHere is one way to make turkey for a Thanksgiving dinner.First，mix together some bread pieces，onions，salt and pepper.④Next，fill the turkey with this bread mix.Then，put the turkey in a hot oven and cook it for a few hours.⑤When it is ready，place the turkey on a large plate and cover it with gravy.Finally，cut the turkey into thin pieces and eat the meat with vegetables like carrots and potatoes.,Unit 9Can you come to my party？Section A 2dJeff：Hey，Nick，can you come to my house on Saturday？My cousin Sam from Xi'an is going to be here.Nick：Oh，Sam！I remember we went bike riding together last fall when he visited you.Jeff：Yes，that's right.Nick：I'd love to come，but I'm afraid I can't.I have an exam on Monday so I must prepare for it.Jeff：That's really too bad！①Oh，but Sam isn't leaving until next Wednesday.②Can you hang out with us on Monday night？Nick：Sure！③Catch you on Monday！Section B 2bHi David，What a great idea！I really like Ms.Steen a lot.She helped me to improve my English so much.I'm sad to see her go，and this party is the best way to say “Thank you and goodbye.” I can help to buy some of the food and drinks.I can also help to bring Ms.Steen to the party.I already have a great idea about how to do that.He WeiHi David，Thanks so much for planning this.I'd love to come to the party，but I'm not available.①My family is taking a trip to Wuhan at the end of this month to visit my aunt and uncle.However，I'd still be glad to help out with any of the party preparations，like planning the games.Let me know if you need my help.JakeDear classmates，As I'm sure you know by now，our favorite teacher，Ms.Steen，is leaving soon to go back to the US.We're very sad that she's leaving because she is a fun teacher.To show how much we're going to miss her，let's have a surprise party for her next Friday the 28th!Can you come to the party？If so，can you help with any of these things?Please tell me by this Friday.1) Buy food and drinks.2) Think of games to play.3) Prepare things we need for the games(glue，paper，pens，...)．4)②Bring Ms.Steen to the party without telling her so that she can be surprised.③I look forward to hearing from you all.DavidSection B 3aDear Parents，I would like to invite you to the opening of our new library at No.9 High School.The opening will be on the morning of Wednesday，January 8th at 9：00.After this，you can enjoy our school concert.Then lunch will be in the school hall at 12：00.Please dress smartly.I would also like to invite each parent to bring one book as a gift for the new library.④Please reply in writing to this invitation by Friday，December 20th.Larry SmithHeadmaster,Unit 10If you go to the party，you'll have a great time!Section A 2dJeff：Hey，Ben.For the party next week，should we ask people to bring food?Ben：No，let's order food from a restaurant.If we ask people to bring food，they'll just bring potato chips and chocolate because they'll be too lazy to cook.Jeff：OK.For the games，do you think we should give people some small gifts if they win?Ben：I think that's a great idea！If we do that，more people will want to play the games.Jeff：Yes，the games will be more exciting，too.,Section B 2ba．If people have problems，they should get advice from an expert.b．If people have problems，they should talk to other people.c．①If people have problems，they should try to keep them to themselves.Students these days often have a lot of worries：Sometimes t hey have problems with their schoolwork，and sometimes with their friends.What can they do about this？Some people believe the worst thing is to do ura Mills，a teenager from London，agrees.“Problems and worries are normal in life，” says Laura.“But I think talking to someone helps a lot.②Unless we talk to someone，we'll certainly feel worse.”Laura once lost her wallet，and worried for days.She was afraid to tell her parents about it.She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money.She just kept thinking，“If I tell my parents，they'll be angry！” ③In the end，she talked to her parents and they were really understanding.④Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself.They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful.“I will always remember to share my problems in the future！” Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems.He feels the same way as Laura.“It is best not to run away from our problems.⑤We should always try to solve them.” He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to.This person doesn't need to be an expert like himself.⑥Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them，and are always there to help t hem.⑦In English，we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half.So you're halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it！,。

Mary SmithI don't really care if my friends are the same as me or different.My favorite saying is，⑤“A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny.⑥In fact，she's funnier than anyone I know.I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better.⑦We can talk about and share everything.I know she cares about me because she's always there to listen.,Unit 4What's the best movie theater?

Greg：Oh，great.Is there a cinema around here？I love watching movies.Helen：Yes，Sun Cinema is the newest one.You can sit the most comfortably because they have the biggest seats.Greg：Thanks for telling me.Helen：①No problem.,Section BWho's Got Talent?Everyone is good at something，but some people are truly talented.It's always interesting to watch other people show their talents.Talent shows are getting more and morepopular.First，there were shows like American Idol and America's Got Talent.Now，there are similar shows around the world，such as China's Got Talent.①All these shows have one thing in common：They try to look for the best singers，the most talented dancers，the most exciting magicians，the funniest actors and so on.All kinds of people join these shows.But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully？②That's up to you to decide.③When peoplewatch the show，they usually play a role in deciding the winner.And the winner always gets a very good prize.However，not everybody enjoys watching these shows.④Some think that the lives of the performers are made up.⑤For example，people who say they are poor farmers are in fact just actors.⑥But if you don't take these shows too seriously，they are fun to watch.⑦And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.,Unit 5Do you want to watch a game show?Section A 2dGrace：What did you do in class today，Sarah? Sarah：We had a discussion about TV shows.My classmates like game shows and sports shows.Grace：①Oh，I can't stand them.I love soap operas.②I like to follow the story and see what happens next.Sarah：Well，I don't mind soap operas.But my favorite TV shows are the news and talk shows.Grace：They're boring!Sarah：③Well，they may not be very exciting，but you can expect to learn a lot from them.I hope to be a TV reporter one day.,Section B 2bWhen people say “culture”，we think of art and history.①But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon.We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—Mickey Mouse.②Over 80 years ago，he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie.③When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18,1928，it was the first cartoon with sound and music.The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney.④He became very rich and successful.In the 1930s，he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular.One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man，but he always tried to face any danger.⑤In his early films，Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend，Minnie.⑥However，he was always ready to try his best.People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win.Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.On November 18,1978，Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.People today expect to see more than just a little mouse fighting bad guys，but many still know who he is.Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey's？,Unit 6I'm going to study computer science.Section A 2dAndy：What are you reading，Ken?Ken：The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway.Andy：Wow，now I know why you're so good at writing stories.Ken：Yes，I want to be a writer.Andy：Really？How are you going to become a writer?Ken：①Well，I'm going to keep on writing stories，of course.What do you want to be? Andy：②My parents want me to be a doctor，but I'm not sure about that.Ken：Well，don't worry.Not everyone knows what they want to be.Just make sure you try your best.Then you can be anything you want! Andy：Yes，you're right.,Section B 2b1．Do you know what a resolution is？It's a kind of promise.①Most of the time，we make promises to other people.(“Mom，I promise I'm going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”)However，promises you make to yourself are resolutions，and the most common kind is New Year'sresolutions.The_start_of_the_year_is_often_ a_time_for_making_resolutions.②When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year，we hope that we are going to improve our lives.③Some people write down theirresolutions and plans for the coming year.This helps them to remember their resolutions.How_about_you_—_will_you_ma ke_any_next_year?2．There are different kinds of resolutions.Some are about physical health.For example，some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food.④Many resolutions have to do withself-improvement.These are about making yourself a better person.⑤Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos，or learn to play the guitar.Some resolutions have to do with better planning，like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.For example，a student may have to find more time to study.3．Although there are differences，most resolutions have one thing in common.People hardly ever keep them！There are good reasons for this.Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.Sometimes people just forget about them.For this reason，some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions！Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.,Unit 7Will people have robots?Section A 2dNick：What are you reading，Jill?Jill：It's a book about the future.Nick：Sounds cool.So what will the future be like?Jill：①Well，cities will be more crowded and polluted.There will be fewer trees and the environment will be in great danger.Nick：That sounds bad！Will we have to move to other planets?Jill：Maybe.But I want to live on the earth. Nick：Me，too.Then what can we do?Jill：②We can use less water and plant more trees.③Everyone should play a part in saving the earth.,Section B 2bDo You Think You Will Have Your Own Robot?When we watch movies about the future，we sometimes see robots.They are usually just like human servants.①They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirtyor dangerous places.②Today there are already robots working in factories.③For example，they can help to build cars，and they do simple jobs over and over again.Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring，but robots will never get bored.④Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future.⑤However，they agree it may take hundreds of years.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as us.Some robots in Japan can even walk anddance.These kinds of robots are fun to watch. But scientist James White thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a person.For example，it's easy for children to wake up and know where they are.⑥Mr.White thinks that robots won't be able to do this，but some scientists disagree.They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.New robots will have many different shapes.Some will look like humans，and others might look like snakes.⑦If buildings fall down with people inside，snake robots will be able to help look for people under the buildings.⑧That may not seem possible now，but computers and rockets seemed impossible 100 years ago.We never know what will happen in the future！,Unit 8How do you make a banana milk shake?Section A 2dAnna：Sam，I want to make Russian soup for a party on Saturday.Can you tell me how? Sam：Sure.First，buy some beef，one cabbage，four carrots，three potatoes，five tomatoes and one onion.Then，cut up the vegetables. Anna：What's next?Sam：①Next，put the beef，carrots and potatoesinto a pot and add some water.After that，cook them for 30 minutes.Then，add the cabbage，tomatoes and onion and cook for another 10 minutes.Anna：OK，that's it?Sam：②No，one more thing.③Finally，don't forget to add some salt.,Section B 2bThanksgiving in the United States①In most countries，people usually eat traditional food on special holidays.A special day in the United States isThanksgiving.There are many reasons for this special day.For some people，it is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn.So it is always on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States.At this time，people also remember the first travelers from England who came to live in America about 500 years ago.②These travelers had a long，hard winter，and many of them died.In the next autumn，they gave thanks for life and food in their new home.③These days，most Americans still celebrate this idea of giving thanks by having a big meal at home with their family.The main dish of this meal is almost always turkey，a large bird.Making a turkey dinnerHere is one way to make turkey for a Thanksgiving dinner.First，mix together some bread pieces，onions，salt and pepper.④Next，fill the turkey with this bread mix. Then，put the turkey in a hot oven and cook it for a few hours.⑤When it is ready，place the turkey on a large plate and cover it with gravy.Finally，cut the turkey into thin pieces and eat the meat with vegetables like carrots and potatoes.,Unit 9Can you come to my party？Section A 2dJeff：Hey，Nick，can you come to my house on Saturday？My cousin Sam from Xi'an is going to be here.Nick：Oh，Sam！I remember we went bike riding together last fall when he visited you. Jeff：Yes，that's right.Nick：I'd love to come，but I'm afraid I can't.I have an exam on Monday so I must prepare for it.Jeff：That's really too bad！①Oh，but Sam isn't leaving until next Wednesday.②Can you hang out with us on Monday night？Nick：Sure！③Catch you on Monday！Section B 2bHi David，What a great idea！I really like Ms.Steen a lot.She helped me to improve my English so much.I'm sad to see her go，and this party is the best way to say “Thank you and goodbye.”I can help to buy some of the food and drinks.I can also help to bring Ms.Steen to the party.I already have a great idea about how to do that.He WeiHi David，Thanks so much for planning this.I'd love to come to the party，but I'm not available.①My family is taking a trip to Wuhan at the end of this month to visit my aunt anduncle.However，I'd still be glad to help out with any of the party preparations，like planning the games.Let me know if you need my help.JakeDear classmates，As I'm sure you know by now，our favorite teacher，Ms.Steen，is leaving soon to go back to the US.We're very sad that she's leaving because she is a fun teacher.To show how much we're going to miss her，let's have a surprise party for her next Friday the 28th! Can you come to the party？If so，can you help with any of these things?Please tell me by this Friday.1) Buy food and drinks.2) Think of games to play.3) Prepare things we need for the games(glue，paper，pens，...)．4)②Bring Ms.Steen to the party without telling her so that she can be surprised.③I look forward to hearing from you all.

Jeff：Yes，the games will be more exciting，too.,Section B 2ba．If people have problems，they should get advice from an expert.b．If people have problems，they should talk to other people.c．①If people have problems，they should try to keep them to themselves.Students these days often have a lot of worries：Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork，and sometimes with their friends.What can they do about this？Some people believe the worst thing is to do ura Mills，a teenager from London，agrees.“Prob lems and worries are normal in life，” says Laura.“But I think talking to someone helps a lot.②Unless we talk to someone，we'll certainly feel worse.”Laura once lost her wallet，and worried for days.She was afraid to tell her parents about it.She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money.She just kept thinking，“If I tell my parents，they'll be angry！” ③In the end，she talked to her parents and they were really understanding.④Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself.They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful.“I will always remember to share my problems in the future！” Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems.He feels the same way as Laura.“It is best not to run away from our problems.⑤We should always try to solve them.” He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to.This person doesn't need to be an expert likehimself.⑥Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them，and are always there to help them.⑦In English，we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half.So you're halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it！,。

2013外研版八年级上册全部课文原文Module 1 How to learn EnglishUnit 1 Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.Ms James: Welcome back, everyone! Today, we’re going to talk about good ways to learn English. Ready?Who has some advice?Lingling: We should always speak English in class.Ms James: Good! Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.Daming: Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooks?Ms James: That’s a good idea. And don’t forget to write down the correct answers next to the mistakes. What else?Lingling: It’s a good idea to spell and pronounce new words aloud every day.Ms James: Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the radio?Daming: Yes, that’s good for our pronunciation too. But there are so many new words.Ms James: You don’t need to understand every word. You just need to listen for key words and main ideas.Daming: That’s the same for reading. English stories are so interesting. I get to know a lot about the world through reading.Lingling: I think writing is also important. Why don’t we try to find some English pen friends? W e can write to them.Ms James: Excellent! I agree with you.Module 1 How to learn EnglishUnit 2 Y ou should smile at her!Questions and answersSend your questions to Diana, the language Doctor.Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three basic questions.The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I like watching English films and listening to English songs, but I don’t understand very much. What can I do?”Watching films and listening to songs are great ways to learn English! Watch and listen several times, and guess the meaning of the new words.Each time you will learn something new. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote, “Our school has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I do?”You can say, “Hello! How are you?”“Do you like China?”These are good ways to start a conversation. And before you begin, you should smile at her! Remember this: Do not be shy. Just try.The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote, “I write down new words,but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them?”Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.Module 2 My hometown and my countryUnit 1 It’s tall er than many other buildings.Tony: Hey, Daming! How was your weekend?Daming: Pretty good！I went to Shenzhen.Tony: Where’s Shenzhen?Daming: Well, it’s on the coast near Hong Kong. It was a small village about thirty years ago, but today it’s a very big city.Tony: So it’s a new er city than Hong Kong?Daming: Yes, it’s a very new city. In fact, it only became important in the 1980s. It’s getting big ger and bus ier. Some day it will become as busy as Hong Kong, I’m sure.Tony: What’s the population of Shenzhen?Daming: It’s over ten million, I think. That’s large r than the population of many other cities in China. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. I think it’s a beautiful city.Tony: I’d like to go there one day.Daming: Remember to visit the Diwang Tower. It’s taller than many other buildings in Shenzhen.Unit 2 Cambridge is a beautiful city in the east of England.Cambridge, London and EnglandBy Tony SmithI come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is on the River Cam and hasa population of about 120,000. My home town is especially famous for its university. Many famous people studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and churches to visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the River Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is big ger and bu sier than Cambridge. It is about 2000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge.England itself is part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and beaches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low mountains and beautiful lakes in the north, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England, you will notice how green the countryside is.It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the year, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days.Module 3 SportsUnit 1 Nothing is more enjoyable than playing tennis.Daming: Hey, Tony. Come and watch the football match on TV!Tony: OK. What’s the score?Daming: Spain scored a minute ago.Tony: Wow! That’s fast!Daming: That’s right. Last week the match on TV was so boring because no one scored at all. So this week’s match is already more exciting.Betty: What’s the matter with you, Tony? You look tired.Tony: I’m really tired after last night’s tennis match. And I hurt my knee.Daming: That’s too bad! Sit down and watch the match. It’s safer than playing tennis.Betty: Yes, watching is not dangerous and it’s more relaxing too!Tony: Well, I’m not sure about that. Nothing is more enjoyable than playing tennis.Betty: But you enjoyed watching the Olympics on TV, right?Tony: Yes, but that’s because it was cheaper than buying tickets for all the games.Daming: And staying at home was eas ier than going to the stadium. Oh, look at that！Tony: Oh, he missed！Oh, bad luck!Daming: Never mind. There’s still plenty of time for them to score.Unit 2 This year we practice more carefully.Training hardIt is Saturday tomorrow, but I am going to school. I am not going for lessons, but to play football. I am in our school team and we are going to play against another school next week. The practice starts at 10 am. We all arrive as early as we can so that we have time to warm up. We are training hard er than usual because the other team beat us last year. This year we want to do better.It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are short and the weather is cold too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be late for after-school practice.Our coach is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year we were sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team in the final match. What a pity! This year we are training more carefully. That means we have a better chance of winning.The fan club has few er people this year. We hope to play well so that we have more fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our fans around. They cheer us on loudly and we feel more confident to win the game.Module 4 Planes, ships and trainsUnit 1 He lives the farthest from school.Betty: I was late for school today.Mum: Why? What happened?Betty: I took the bus. There was a road accident, and the traffic was very heavy. But nobody was late, except me. Maybe I should go to school by taxi.Mum: It’s the most comfortable way, but it’s also the most expensive. And taxis are very slow in heavy traffic too.Betty: Then what about going by bike?Mum: That’s a good choice, but it’s a bit dangerous. There’s so much traffic.Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, and it’s quite safe. Don’t worry. I’ll be careful. Mum: How does Tony go to school?Betty: He lives the farthest from school, so he takes the underground.Mum: And what about Lingling?Betty: Her home is the closest to school, so she walks.Mum: How about Daming?Betty: He goes by bus too, the same as me. But it’s so crowded! And the traffic is heavy.Mum: All right. You can ride your bike to school, but remember to be careful all the time.Module 4 Planes, ships and trainsUnit 2 What is the best way to travel?Question: What is the best way to travel from London to Amsterdam?I am planning to travel from London to Amsterdam. How long does the journey take and what is the best way to travel? Could you please tell me about the trains or ships to get there? The more information, the better. Thanks!Best answer: There are four ways to travel.A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more expensive. When you go by train, buy your ticket a long time before you travel. It is usually cheaper.You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the most expensive. Book your ticket before you book your hotel. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside the city centre and travel in by bus or by train.The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest, but in summer, the coaches sometimes get crowded! And it takes you about twelve hours to get there. However, it will not cost as much as going by train.Finally, you can fly. It is the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip!Module 5 Lao She TeahouseUnit 1 I wanted to see the Beijing Opera.Betty: Lingling and I went to Lao She Teahouse last night.Tony: How was it?Betty: It was great! You know, I wanted to see the Beijing Opera, so Lingling offered to take me there. We drank tea and watched an opera.Tony: Did you understand the opera?Betty: No, it was difficult to understand the words. But the actors and actresses were excellent. Tony: How long did you stay?Betty: We only planned to watch for an hour, but in the end, we stayed for three hours.Tony: Did you enjoy it?Betty: Well, it was interesting----that’s the main thing. I hope to understand more next time. Tony: Do you often go to see the Beijing Opera, Lingling?Lingling: No, I don’t. I wanted to take Betty to the teahouse because it’s famous.Tony: Who is Lao She?Betty: No idea. Ask lingling.Lingling: Lao She is a great writer. He’s especially famous for his play Teahouse.Module 5 Lao She TeahouseUnit 2 It describes the changes in Chinese society.1. The story of teahouseTeahouse is one of Lao She’s most famous plays. He wrote it in 1957.The play has three acts and shows the lives of common people in China from the end of the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century. It tells us the story of Wang Lifa and the customers of his teahouse in Beijing. It describes the changes in Chinese society over fifty years.2. Lao SheLao She was born in Beijing in 1899. His mother sent him to a teacher’s school in 1913. After finishing school in 1918, he became a head teacher of a primary school. In 1924, Lao She left home and went to England. He taught Chinese at a college in London and returned to China five years later. He wrote many plays, novels and short stories about people’s lives, and was named “the People’s Artist”. Lao She is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the twentieth century.3. Lao She TeahouseAt Lao She Teahouse today, customers can drink tea and eat delicious Beijing food. If you like the Beijing Opera, traditional music or magic shows, you can enjoy them at the teahouse. Lao She Teahouse gives a warm welcome to everyone from all over the world.Module 6 Animals in dangerUnit 1 It allows people to get closer to them.(Lingling and Betty are leaving the zoo. )Lingling: Did you like the zoo?Betty: Yes! I saw the pandas at last! But I am more interested to see the pandas in the Wolong Panda Reserve, because it allows people to get closer to them.Lingling: It’s sad to think of the pandas and other animals in danger.Betty: We need to protect them better.Lingling: Yes. Many wild animals don’t have a safe place to live, because villages and farms are growing bigger and are taking away their land and forests.Betty: Also, often there isn’t enough clean water. I think we all need to help animals live in peace. Look, there’s a notice.Lingling: It says, “Help! We want to save animals in danger, and we need your help.”Betty: But what can we do?Lingling: It says, “Your money pays to look after the animals.” That means we can give money to help protect the animals.Betty: Maybe we can raise some money at school. Let’s find out what else we can do to save asmany animals as possible.Module 6 Animals in dangerUnit 2 The WWF is working hard to save them all.1. An animal in dangerPandas are in danger. There are only about 1,600 pandas living in the wild today. Zoos and research centres are looking after about 340 pandas. Pandas do no have many babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is getting very difficult. Scientists are doing a lot of research to help pandas produce more babies and help baby pandas live.2. The panda’s homePandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. Each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pandas are losing their home.3. Nature parks for pandasIn order to protect pandas in the wild, the government is setting up nature parks and developing other plans. The nature parks will be big and there will be more bamboo to feed the pandas. Pandas born in zoos may go back to live in the nature parks.4. WWF and animals in dangerThe World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) wants to protect all animals. And it chose the panda to be its symbol. We do not want to lose tigers, elephants or any other animals, so the WWF is working hard to save them all.Module 7 A famous storyUnit 1 Alice was sitting with her sister by the river.Tony: Hi, Lingling!Lingling: Ssh! I’m reading.Tony: Sorry! What’s the book about?Lingling: It’s about a girl called Alice. One day, Alice was sitting with her sister by the river and she saw a white rabbit with a watch. It ran past.Tony: Why was it running?Lingling: Because it was late.Tony: And where was it going?Lingling: To see the Queen of Hearts. Alice followed it and fell down a hole in the ground.Tony: Yes! Then she saw the Cheshire Cat. It was sitting in a tree and smiling at everyone. Lingling: Then Alice arrived at the March Hare’s house. He was sitting with the Mad Hatter and a mouse. They were having a tea party in the garden.Tony: And then Alice met the Queen of Hearts. She was playing a strange game！Lingling: Do you already know the book?Tony: Yes, it’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Everyone in Britain knows the story.Lingling: Then why did you ask me all those questions?Tony: To see if you remember the story! Ha ha…Module 7 A famous storyUnit 2 She was thinking about her cat.Alice was sitting with her sister by the river and her sister was reading a book. Alice had nothing to do. Once or twice she looked into the sister’s book. “And what is a book for,” thought Alice, “ without pictures or conversations?” Suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran by.There was nothing strange about that. She heard the rabbit say, “Oh dear! Oh dear! I’ll be late!” and she did not think it was strange. Then the rabbit took a watch out of its pocket and looked at it. A rabbit with a pocket and a watch? Alice got up and ran across the field after it. She saw it go down a large rabbit hole in the ground.Then Alice went down after it, but never thought about how she was going to get out again. She found that she was falling down a very, very deep hole. It was too dark for her to see anything. She was falling for a long time. While she was falling, she was thinking about her cat, Dinah. Suddenly she landed on some dry leaves…(The Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Mouse are having a tea party. Alice arrives and sits down. )March Hare: It wasn’t very polite of you to sit down. We didn’t ask you.Alice: I didn’t know it was your table. Anyway, there are cups of tea for more than three people. Mad Hatter: That’s because it’s always tea time.Alice: I don’t understand.Mad Hatter: We don’t have time to wash the things…March Hare: So we just move around the table…(Mouse sings a song.)March Hare: Stop singing, Mouse!(Mouse stops singing and falls asleep.)Mad Hatter: He’s asleep.Mouse: I wasn’t asleep! I heard every word you were saying.March Hare: Tell us a story!Alice: Yes, please do!Mad Hatter: And be quick. Or you’ll be asleep again before it’s done.Mouse: On ce upon a time, there were three little sisters, and they lived…March Hare: Take some more tea.Alice: I didn’t have any tea, so I can’t have more.Mad Hatter: You mean you can’t take less. It’s very easy to take more than nothing.Alice: Nobody asked you!Mad Hatter: I want a clean cup. Let’s all move one place.( The Mad Hatter moves, and the Mouse follows him. The March Hare knocks the milk over when he is moving into the Mouse’s place. Alice takes the place of the March Hare. Alice is not happy because there is milk on the table in front of her. )Alice: Well, really! This is the stupidest tea party I’ve been to in all my life!StoriesIn the past, not many people could read or write, so people listened to stories. Some stories were popular, and they changed every time someone told them. The stories passed from generation togeneration. Finally, someone wrote them down.For example, in China today people still love old stories like The Monkey King .Some people say that new stories written in books today are not as entertaining as the old ones. Do you agree?Module 8 AccidentsUnit 1 While the lights were changing to red, a car suddenly appeared. Betty: Good morning, Ms James! You look pale. Are you all right?Ms James: I’m OK, but I saw an accident. A boy was riding his bike and listening to music on the road.Daming: That’s very dangerous!Ms James: I was waiting to cross the road. While the lights were changing to red, a car suddenly appeared round the corner. It wasn’t going fast, but it didn’t stop.Lingling: Did the boy stop?Ms James: No. And the driver was talking on his mobile phone.Betty: So did the car hit the boy?Ms James: No, I’m glad to say. The car stopped just in time, but the boy fell off his bike and hurt his knee.Tony: That’s too bad.Ms James: So when you’re on your bike, think about the risk of an accident! Pay attention, stop at the red lights and… what else?Betty: Don’t ride too fast.Daming: Don’t ride side by side with your friends.Ms James: Anything else?All: Don’t listen to music!Module 8 AccidentsUnit 2 I was trying to pick it up when it bit me again.Smile, please!One day, when Henry was working in a restaurant, a snake suddenly appeared and bit his hand.A few days earlier, the snake arrived from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out and hid somewhere.“I was trying to pick it up when it bit me again. I threw it across the kitchen, and it landed on a table.”While the snake was lying on the table, Henry quickly picked up his mobile phone and took a photo with it. Then the snake hid behind the fridge.When Henry was trying to find the snake, his hand began to hurt badly. He hurried to hospital. As the doctors were checking him, the pain got worse. But they could not help him because they did not know what kind of snake bit him.As he was lying there in great pain, Henry suddenly remembered the photo. The doctors sent the photo to a zoo. As soon as they learnt what kind of snake bit him, they gave Henry the rightmedicine, and he left hospital the next day.“So if a snake bites you, take out your mobile phone or camera. Take its photo, and show the photo to the doctors,” suggests Henry. “But as you know, the snake won’t smile!”Module 9 PopulationUnit 1 The population of China is about 1.37 billion.Betty: What are you doing?Tony: I’m preparing some notes for a report called “Our growing population.”Lingling: Well, we’re in the right place to talk about that! Beijing is a huge city with a large population. That causes a lot of problems, such as too much traffic and noise.Betty: It’s not only Beijing. Population increase is a big problem in many countries. Do you know how many babies are born every minute in the world?Tony: No. Can you tell me?Betty: Over 250! That makes over 131.4 million births a year.Lingling: I can’t believe it!Betty: The population of China is about 1.37 billion. That’s almost one fifth of the world’s population, that is, about 7 billion.Tony: Hang on a minute! I’ll write that down too!Betty: But in the future, China’s population won’t grow so fast, because families are getting smaller. Lingling: How do you know all this?Betty: I wrote my report yesterday!Tony: Great, thanks! Now I can write my report!Module 9 PopulationUnit 2 Arnwick was a city with 200,000 people.Could it be your town?Jo is fifteen and lives in Parkville. When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville, it was a quiet village. They had a small house, close to fields and hills.Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with 200,000 people. People from Parkville moved to Arnwick to find jobs, and they needed places to live. However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the government built flats outside the centre. Soon, Parkville became part of Arnwick, and Arnwick became a city with over a million people.Jo’s family lives in one of those flats. It is very crowded, and rubbish is also a problem.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago, so Jo now has to go to a school in Arnwick with 2,000 pupils. It takes an hour to get there by bus. There is a lot of traffic and pollution.It is clear that Arnwick needs more schools, buses and hospitals. It needs fresh air, clean water, and better public services. It also needs more police to protect its people. But to do all these things, it needs more money.However, can money help solve all these problems? Do we need more big cities like this? Infact, this is just a story. But it describes what is happening all over the world. Could it be your town some day?Module 10 The weatherUnit 1 It might snow.Betty: Hey, boys!Tony: Hi, Betty. Hi, Lingling. Where are you going?Betty: We’re going to the park to skate. There’s thick ice on the lake. Are you coming with us? Tony: Are you joking? It’s really cold today.Daming: And it’s cloudy too, so it might snow.Lingling: What’s the temperature?Tony: It’s between minus eight and minus two degrees! Winter is colder here than in England. Daming: Is it snowy in England in December?Tony: Not usually, although this year it snowed quite a lot. Most Decembers are wet and rainy. Daming: What’s the weather like in America in winter, Betty?Betty: We have cold winters and hot summers. It’s snowy in New York in winter.Tony: Sounds great! I like sunny weather, and I like snow as well. But I don’t like showers or windy weather.Betty: Me neither. Rainy weather is terrible! I wish I were in Australia now. It’s probably sunny and hot there.Lingling: You can go to Hainan Island if you like sunny weather.Betty: One day I will.Lingling: Come on, better get going! We can skate in the park and get warm.Module 10 The weatherUnit 2 The weather is fine all year round.The US is a very big country. It is about 3,000 miles from the east coast to the west coast, so choose carefully the places to see and the time to go. Bring a map because you may want to travel around.New York and Washington D.C. are good places to visit in May or October, but in winter there is a lot of snow.The best time to visit New England is in September. The weather gets cooler, and the green leaves start to turn gold, then brown. Bring your camera so you can take photos of the autumn trees.California is on the Pacific coast, and the weather is fine all year round. Take your swimming clothes because you might want to go swimming in the sea, even in December.In Seattle, in the northwest, it is not very cold but it rains a lot, so bring an umbrella. In Alaska the days are long and warm in summer, but may be cool in the evening. In winter, Alaska can be very very cold. If you want to visit Alaska, you had better go in summer. Do not forget to bring a warm sweater with you.In Texas and the southeast, it is usually very hot and sunny compared to other places. There are storms from time to time in summer and autumn.。

asked our students about their free time activities.Our questions were about exercise，use of the Internet and watching TV.Here are the results.We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day.Fortyfive percent exercise four to six times a week.Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week.And twenty percent do not exercise at all!We all know that many students often go online，but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day.The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week.Most students use it for fun and not for homework.The answers to our questions about watching television were also intere sting.Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week.Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week.And eightyfive percent watch TV every day！①Although many students like to watch sports，game shows are the most popular.②It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows，but we think the best way to relax is through exercise.It is healthy for the mind and the body.③Exercise such as playing sports is fun，and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together.④And remember，“old habits die hard”．So start exercising before it's toolate！,Unit 3I'm more outgoing than my sister.Section A 2dJulie：Did you like the singing competition yesterday，AnnaAnna：Oh，it was fantastic！Nelly sang so well!Julie：Yes，but I think Lisa sang better than Nelly.Anna：Oh，which one is LisaJulie：The one with shorter hair.①I think she sang more clearly than Nelly.Anna：Yes，but Nelly danced better than Lisa.Julie：②But you can tell that Lisa practiced a lot more and really wanted to win.Anna：Well，everyone wants to win.But the most important thing is to learn something and have fun.,Section B 2bJeff GreenMy mother told me a good friend is like a mirror.I'm quieter and more serious than most kids.That's why I like reading books and studying harder in class.My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too，so we enjoy studying together.I'm shy so it's not easy for me to make friends.①But I think friends are like books—you don't need a lot of them as long as they're good.Huang LeiIt's not necessary to be the same.My best friend Larry is quite different from me.He is taller and more outgoing than me.We both like sports，but he plays tennis better，so he always wins.②I'm getting better，though.As Larry often says，③“My best friend helps to bring out the best in me.” However，Larry is much less hard-working，so I always get better grades.④Maybe I should help him more.Mary SmithI don't really care if my friends are the same as me or different.My favorite saying is，⑤“A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.”My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny.⑥In fact，she's funnier than anyone I know.I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better.⑦We can talk about and share everything.I know she cares about me

watching movies.Helen：Yes，Sun Cinema is the newest one.You can sit the most comfortably because they have the biggest seats.Greg：Thanks for telling me.Helen：①No problem.,Section BWho's Got TalentEveryone is good at something，but some people are truly talented.It's always interesting to watch other people show their talents.Talent shows are getting more and more popular.First，there were shows like AmericanIdol and America'sGotTalent.Now，there are similar shows around the world，such as China'sGotTalent.①All these shows have one thing in common：They try to look for the best singers，the most talented dancers，the most exciting magicians，the funniest actors and so on.All kinds of people join these shows.But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully？②That's up to you to decide.③When people watch the show，they usually play a role in deciding the winner.And the winner always gets a very good prize.However，not everybody enjoys watching these shows.④Some think that the lives of the performers are made up.⑤For example，people who say they are poor farmers are in fact just actors.⑥But if you don't take these shows too seriously，they are fun to watch.⑦And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.,Unit 5Do you want to watch a game showSection A 2dGrace：What did you do in class today，SarahSarah：We had a discussion about TV shows.My classmates like game shows and sports shows.Grace：①Oh，I can't stand them.I love soap operas.②I like to follow the story and see what happens next.Sarah：Well，I don't mind soap

day.,Section B 2bWhen people say “c ulture”，we think of art and history.①But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon.We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—Mickey Mouse.②Over 80 years ago，he first appeared in the cartoon SteamboatWillie.③When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18,1928，it was the first cartoon with sound and music.The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney.④He became very rich and successful.In the 1930s，he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular.One of the main r easons is that Mickey was like a common man，but he always tried to face any danger.⑤In his early films，Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend，Minnie.⑥However，he was always ready to try his best.People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win.Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.On November 18,1978，Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.Peo ple today expect to see more than just a little mouse fighting bad guys，but many still know who he is.Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey's？,Unit 6 I'm going to study co mputer science.Section A 2dAndy：What are you reading，KenKen：TheOldManandtheSea by Hemingway.Andy：Wow，now I know why you'r e so good at writing stories.Ken：Yes，I want to be a writer.Andy：Really？How are you going to become a writerKen：①Well，I'm going to keep on writing stories，of course.What do you want to beAndy：②My parents want me to be a doctor，but I'm not sure about that.Ken：Well，don't worry.Not everyone knows what they want to b e.Justmake sure you try your best.Then you can be anything you want!Andy：Yes，you're right.,Section B 2b1．Do you know what a resolution is？It's a kind of promise.①Most of the time，we make promises to other people.(“Mom，I promise I'm going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”)However，promises you make to yourself are resolutions，and the most common kind is New Year's resolutions.The_start_of_the_year_is_often_a_time_for_making_resolutions.②When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year，we hope that we are going to improve our lives.③Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year.This helps them to remember their resolutions.How_about_you_—_will_you_make_any_next_year 2．There are different kinds of resolutions.Some are about physical health.For example，some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food.④Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement.These are about making yourself a better person.⑤ Some people m ight say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos，or learn to play the guitar.Some resolutions have to do with better planning，like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.For example，a student may have to find more time to study.3．Although there are differences，most resolutions have one thing in common.People hardly ever keep them！There are good reasons for this.Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.Sometimes people just forget about them.For this reason，some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions！Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.,Unit 7 Will people have robotsSection A 2dNick：What are you reading，JillJill：It's a book about the future.Nick：Sounds cool.So what will the future be likeJill：①Well，cities will be more c rowded and polluted.There will be fewer trees and the environ ment will be in great danger.Nick：That sounds bad！Will we have to move to other planetsJill：Maybe.But I want to live on the earth.Nick：Me，too.Then what can we doJill：②We can use less water and plant more trees.③Everyone should play a part in saving the earth.,Section B 2bDo You Think You Will Have Your Own RobotWhen we watch movies about the future，we sometimes see robots.They are usually just like human servants.①They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.②Today there are already robots working in factories.③For example，they can help to build cars，and they do simple jobs over and over again.Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring，but robots will never get bored.④Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future.⑤However，they agree it may take hundreds of years.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as us.Some robots in Japan can even walk and dance.These kinds of robots are fun to watch.But scientist James White thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a person.For example，it's easy for children to wake up and know where they are.⑥Mr.White thinks that robots won't be able to do this，but some scientists disagree.They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.New robots will have many different shapes.Some will look like humans，and others might look like snakes.⑦If buildings fall down with people inside，snake robots will be able to help look for people under the buildings.⑧That may not seem possible now，but computers and rockets seemed impossible 100 years ago.We never know what will happen in the future！,Unit 8How do you make a banana milk shakeSection A 2dAnna：Sam，I want to make Russian soup for a party on Saturday.Can you tell me howSam：Sure.First，buy some beef，one cabbage，four carrots，three potatoes，five tomatoes and one onion.Then，cut up the vegetables.Anna：What's

itSam：②No，one more thing.③Finally，don't forget to add some salt.,Section B 2bThanksgiving in the United States①In most countries，people usually eat traditional food on special holidays.A special day in the United States is Thanksgiving.There are many reasons for this special day.For some people，it is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn.So it is always on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States.At this time，people also remember the first travelers from England who came to live in America about 500 years ago.②These travelers had a long，hard winter，and many of them died.In the next autumn，they gave thanks for life and food in their new home.③These days，most Americans still celebrate this idea of giving thanks by having a big meal at home with their family.The main dish of this meal is almost always turkey，a large bird.Making a turkey dinnerHere is one way to make turkey for a Thanksgiving dinner.First，mix together some bread pieces，onions，salt and pepper.④Next，fill the turkey with this bread mix.Then，put the turkey in a hot oven and cook it for a few hours.⑤When it is ready，place the turkey on a large plate and cover it with gravy.Finally，cut the turkey into thin pieces and eat the meat with vegetables like carrots and potatoes.,Unit 9 Can you come to my party？Section A 2dJeff：Hey，Nick，can you come to my house on Saturday？My cousin Sam from Xi'an is going

they'll be too lazy to cook.Jeff：OK.For the games，do you think we should give people some small gifts if they winBen：I think that's a great idea！If we do that，more people will want to play the games.Jeff：Yes，the games will be more exciting，too.,Section B 2ba．If people have problems，they should get advice from an expert.b．If people have problems，they should talk to other people.c．①If people have problems，they should try to keep them to themselves.Students these days often have a lot of worries：Sometimes t hey have problems with their schoolwork，and sometimes with their friends.What can they do about this？Some people believe the worst thing is to do ura Mills，a teenager from London，agrees.“Problems and worries are normal in life，” says Laura.“But I think talking to someone helps a lot.②Unless we talk to someone，we'll certainly feel worse.”Laura once lost her wallet，and worried for days.She was afraid to tell her parents about it.She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money.She just kept thinking，“If I tell my parents，they'll be angry！” ③In the end，she talked to her parents and they were really understanding.④Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself.They got hera new wallet and asked her to be more careful.“I will always remember to share my problems in the future！” Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems.He feels the same way as Laura.“It is best not to run away from our problems.⑤We shouldalways try to solve them.” He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to.This person doesn't need to be an expert like himself.⑥Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them，and are always there to help t hem.⑦In English，we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half.So you're halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it！,。

Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week.Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week. And twenty percent do not exercise at all.We all know that many students often go online,but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day. The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week. Most students use it for fun and not for homework.The answer to our questions about watching television were also interesting. Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week. Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week. And eighty-five percent watch TV every day!

Unit 1 2d Could you please clean your room?Sister: Tony, could you please help out with a few things?Brother: Could I at least finish watching this show?Sister: No. I think two hours of TV is enough for you!Brother: Fine. What do you want me to do?Sister: Could you take out the rubbish, fold the clothes and do the dishes?Brother: So much?Sister: Yes, because Mom will be back from shopping any minute now. And she won’t be happy if she sees this mess.Brother: But the house is already pretty clean and tidy!Sister: Yes, well, it’s clean, but it’s not “mother clean”.Unit 1 3ALast month, our dog welcomed me when I came home from school. He wanted a walk, but I was too tired. I threw down my back and went to the living room. The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over. “Could you please take the dog for a walk? “she asked."Can I watch one show first? “I asked."No! “she replied angrily. “You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house! I can't work all day, and do housework all evening." "Well, I worked all day at school ,too .I'm just as tired as you are! “I shouted back.My mom did not say anything and walked away. For one week, she did not do any housework and neither did I. Finally, I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.The next day, my mom came home from work to find the house clean and tidy."What happened？"she asked in surprise."I'm so sorry, mom. I finally understand that we need to share the housework to have a clean and comfortable home, "I replied.Unit 1 2BDear Sir,I do not understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework,too.Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their as a students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university.Also,when they get older, they will have to do housework so there is no need for them to do it now. It is the parents ‘job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I do not mind doing them.Ms. MillerDear Sir,I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always asking,” Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helps to develop children’s independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understa nd the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbor’s son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.Mr. SmithUnit2 2D Why don’t you talk to your parents ?Dave: You look sad, Kim. What’s wrong?Kim: Well, I found my sister looking through my things yesterday. She took some of my new magazines and CDs.Dave: Hmm …that’s not very nice. Did she give them back to you?Kim: Yes, but I’m still angry with her. What should I do?Dave: Well, I guess you could tell her to say sorry. But why don’t you forget about it so that you can be friends again? Although she’s wrong, it’s not big deal.Kim: You’re right. Thanks for your adviceDave: No problem. Hope things work out.Unit2 3ADear Mr. Hunt,My problem is I can't get on with my family. Relations between my parents have become difficult. They fight a lot, and I really don't like it. It's the only communication they have. I don't know if I should say anything to them about this. When they argue, it's like a big, black cloud hanging over our home. Also, my elder brother is not very nice to me. He always refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show. Instead he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I don't think this is fair. At home I always lonely and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do?Sad and ThirteenDear Sad and Thirteen,It's not easy being your age, and it's normal to have these feeling. Why don't you talk about these feelings with your family? If your parents are having problems, you should offer to help. Maybe you could do more jobs around the house so that they have more time for proper communication. Second, why don't you sit down and communicate with your brother? You should explain that you don't mind him watching TV all the time. However, he should let you watch your favorite show. I hope you'll feel better about yourself in future.Unit2 2B Maybe You should Learn to Relax!These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after-school classes. Many o f them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesn’t only happen in China.The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy.” On most days after school,” Cathy says,” I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children’s future. I really want them to be successful.” However, the tired children don’t get home until after 7:00p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then it’s time for homework.Linda Miller, a mother of t hree. Knows all about such stress. “In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older.” She says. “Mothers send them small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It’s crazy. I don’t think that’s fair. Why don’t just let their kids be kids? People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child’s development. Dr.Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. “Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even mo re important to have happy children.”Unit 3 2D What were you doing when the rainstorm came ?Mary: What were you doing last night, Linda? I called at seven and you didn’t pick up.Linda: Oh, I was in the kitchen helping my mom.Mary: I see. I called again at eight and you didn’t answer then either.Linda: What was I doing at eight? Oh, I know. When you called, I was taking a shower.Mary: But then I called again at nine.Linda: Oh, I was sleeping at that time.Mary: So early? That’s strange.Linda: Yeah, I was tired. Why did you call so many times? Mary: I needed help with my homework. So while you were sleeping, I called Jenny and she helped me.Unit 3 3A The Storm Brought People Closer TogetherBen could hear strong winds outside his home in Alabama. Black clouds were making the sky very dark. With no light outside, it felt like midnight. The news on Everyone in the neighborhood was making sure the flashlights and radio were working. She also put some candles and matches on the table.Ben was helping his mom make dinner when the rain began to beat heavily against the windows. After dinner, they tried to play a card game, but it was hard to have fun with a serious storm happening out side.Ben could not sleep at first. He finally fell asleep when the wind was dying down at around 3:00 a.m. When he woke up, the sun was rising. He wentoutside with his family and found the neighborhood in a mess. Fallen trees, broken windows and rubbish were everywhere. They joined the neighbors to help clean up the neighborhood together. Although the storm broke many things apart, it brought families and neighbors closer together.Unit 3 2B Do you remember what you were doing?People often remember what they were doing when they heard the news of important events in history. In America, for example, many people remember what they were doing on April 4,1968. This was an important event in American history. On this day, Dr Martin Luther King was killed. Although some people may not remember who killed him, they remember what they were doing when they heard the news.Robert Allen is now over 50, but he was a school pupil at that time. “I was at home with my parents”, Robert remembers. “We were eating dinner in the kitchen when we heard the news on the radio. The news reporter said, ‘Dr.King died just 10 minutes ago.’My parents were completely shocked! My parents did not talk after that, and we finished the rest of our dinner in silence.”More recently, most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists. Even the date----September 11, 2001----has meaning to most Americans.This was a day Kate Smith will never forget. She remembers working in her office near the two towers. “My friend shouted that a plane just hit the World Trade Center! I didn’t believe him at first, but then I looked out the window and realized that it was true. I was so scared that I could hardly think clearly after that.”Unit 4 2B Hansel and GretelHansel and Gretel lived near a forest with their father and stepmother. One year, the weather was so dry that no food would grow. The wife told her husband that unless he left the children to die in the forest, the whole family would die. Gretel heard this, and Hansel made a plan to save himself and his sister.Scene one：The children learn that something bad is going to happen.Gretel：Did you hear our stepmother planning to kill us?Hansel：Don’t worry! I have a plan to save us.Gretel：How can you save us?Hansel：Be quiet! I am going outside to get something in the moonlight. Now, go to sleep.Scene two：The children wake up.Wife：Get up, lazy children!Husband：Yes, dears. You must come with me to the forest to get wood.Wife：Here is some bread. Don’t eat it until you get to the forest.Scene three：Gretel learns about Hansel's plan.Gretel：Hansel, what are you doing?Hansel：I’m dropping white stones along the way. Unless I do, we’ll be lost. Tonight, when the moon is shining bright, we’ll be able to see the stones.Scene four：The children surprise the parents.Wife：You bad children! What a long time you slept in the forest!Husband：We thought you were never coming back.Wife: Now , go to bed. As soon as you wake up, you must go to the forest with your father.Hansel：What, again? I want to go out to look at the moon.Wife：No. you can’t go out now.Scene five：Hansel has to change his plan.Gretel：What can we do? You have no more stones.Hansel：I’ll drop pieces of bread. As soon as the moon rises, we can follow them instead.Scene six：The children cannot find the pieces of bread.Gretel：I can’t see any bread on the ground. Maybe it was the birds.Hansel：Never mind! Just keep walking. Unless we do, we won’t find our way out.Scene seve：The children get lost.Gretel：Hansel，we‘re really lost！Hansel：Listen！That bird's song is so beautiful that we should follow it.Gretel：Look！It's leading us to that wonderful house made of bread, cake and candy.Hansel：Let's eat part of the house？Then they hear an old woman's voice from inside the house.)Voice: Who is that？Who is brave enough to eat my house？Unit 4 2DTeacher: So what do you think about the story of Yu Gong?Ming Ming: I think it’s really interesting. Yu gong found a good way to solve his problem.Anna: Really? I think it’s a little bit silly. It doesn’t seem very possible to move a mountain.Ming Ming: But the stor y is trying to show us that anything is possible if you work hard! Yu Gong kept trying and didn’t give up.Anna: Well, I still don’t agree with you. I think we should try to find other ways to solve a problem.Ming Ming: But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the mountains?Anna: Well, there are many other ways. For example, he could build a road. That’s better and faster than moving a mountain!Teacher: You have different opinions about the story, and many ways to understand it.Unit 4 3AIn November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing this story for the first time. However, this story is not new to Chinese children. The Monkey King or Sun Wukong is the main character in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.The Monkey king is not just any normal monkeys. In fact, he sometimes does not even look like a monkey! This is because he can make 72 changes to his shape and size, turning himself into different animals and objects. But unless he can hide his tail, he cannot turn himself into a person.To fight bad people, the Monkey King uses a magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so small that he can keep it in his ear. At other times, he is able to make it big and long.The monkey king has excited the children of China for many years. And as soon as the TV program came out more than 30 years ago, Western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up.Unit 7 2D Have you ever been to a museum?Anna: I went to the film museum last weekend. Have you ever been there?Jill: Yes, I have. I went there back in April.Anna: It’s really interesting, isn’t it? It’s a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.Jill: Yes, I love all the old movie cameras there. I learned about the inventions that led to color movies, too.Anna: So, what did you do on the weekend?Jill: I camped in the mountains with some friends. We put up a tent and cooked outside.An na: That sounds fun. I’ve never been camping.Jill: You should try it!。

But the most important thing is to learn something new and have fun.2b passage:My mother told me a good friend is like a mirror. I'm quieter and more serious than most kids. That's why I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too, so we enjoy studying together. I'm shy so it's not easy for me tomake friends. But I think friends are like books -- you don't need a lot of them as long as they're good.It's not necessary to be the same. My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outstanding than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So I'm getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grade than he does, so maybe I should help him more.I don't really care if my friends are the same as me or different.My favorite saying is,"A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart." My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny.In fact,she's funnier than anyone I know.I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better.We can talk about and share everything.I know she cares about me because she's always there to listen.Unit 4 What’s the best movie theater?2d conversation:Greg: Hi, I'm Greg.

You can sit the most comfortably because they have the biggest seats.Greg: Thanks for telling me.Helen: No problem.2b passage:Everyone is good at something,but some people are talented.It’s always interesting to watch other people show their talents.Talent shows are getting more and more popular.First,there were shows like American Idol and American’s GotTalent.Now,there are similar shows around the world,such as China’s Got Talent.All these shows have one thing in common:They try to look for the best singers,the most talented dancers,the most exciting magicians,the funniest actors and so on.All kinds of people join these shows.But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully?That’s up to you to decide.When people watch the show,they usually play a role in deciding the winner.And the winner always gets a very good prize.However,not everybody enjoys watching these shows.Some think that the lives of the performers are made up.For example,some people say they are poor farmers,but in fact they are just actors.However,if you don’t take these shows too seriously,they are fun to watch.And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.Unit 5 Do you want to watch a game show2d conversation:Grace: What did you do in class today,SarahSarah: We had a discussion about TV shows.

We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears---Mickey Mouse. Over 80 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18,1928,it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful.In the 1930s,he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man,but he always tried to face any danger.In his early films,Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend,Minnie.However,he was always ready to try his best.People went to the cinema to see the"little man"win.Most of them wanted to be like Mickey. On November 18, 1979, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today’s cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’sUnit 6 I’m going to study computer science.2d conversation:A:what are you readings，Ken?B:The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway.A:Wow，now I know why you 're good at writing stories.B:Yes, I want to be a writer.A:Really How are you going to become a writerB: Well,I'm going to keep on writing stories,of course.

Then you can be anything you want!A:Yes,you're right.2b passage:Do you know what a resolution is It`s a kind of promise. Most of the time ,we make promises to other people. ("Mom,I promise I`m going to tidy my room when I get back from school.")However,promise you make to yourself are resolutions and the most common kind is New Year`s resolutions. When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year,we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps them to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example,some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos,or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning,like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.Although there are differences,most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them ! Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason,some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you —will you make any next year?Unit 7 Will people have robots?2d conversation:A:What are you reading, JillB:It is book about the future.A:Sounds cool. So what will the future be likeB:Well,cities will be more crowded and polluted . There will be fewer trees and the environment will be in great danger.A:That sounds bad! Will we have to move to other planetsB:Maybe, But I want to live on the earth.A:Me too. Then what can we doB:We can use less water and plant more trees. Everyone should play a prat in saving the earth.2b passage:Do you think you will have your own robots?1、When we watch movies about the future, we sometimes see robots. They are usually like human servants. They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.2、Today there are already robots working in factories. Some can help to build cars, and they do simple jobs over and over again. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored.3、Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do. Some robots in Japan can walk and dance. They are fun to watch. However, some scientists believe that although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are. But many scientists disagree with Mr. White. They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.4、Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years. These new robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and others might look like animals. In India, for example, scientists made robots that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings. This was not possible 20 years ago, but computers and rockets also seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future!Unit 8 How do you make a banana milk shake?2b conversation:A: Sam, I want to make Russian soup for a party on Saturday. Can you tell me how? S: Sure.

Then, add the cabbage, tomatoes and onion and cook for another 10 minutes.A: OK, that’s it?S: No, one more thing. Finally , don’t forger to add some salt.2b passage:Thanksgiving in the United StatesIn most countries,people usually eat traditional food on special holidays.A special day in the United States is Thanksgiving.It is always on the fourth Thursday in November,and is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn.At this time,people also remember the first travelers from England who came to live in America about 400 years ago.These travelers had a long,hard winter,and many of them died.In the next autumn,they gave thanks for life and food in their new home.These days,most Americans still celebrate this idea of giving thanks by having a big meal at home with their family.The main dish of this meal is almost always turkey,a large bird.Making a turkey dinnerHere is one way to make turkey for a Thanksgiving dinner.First,mix together some bread pieces,onions,salt and pepper.Next,fill the turkey with this bread mix.Then,put the turkey in a hot oven and cook it for a few hours.When it is ready,place the turkey on a large plate and cover it with gravy.Finally,cut the turkey into thin pieces and eat the meat with vegetables like carrots and potatoes.Unit 9 Can you come to my party?2dconversation:Jeff:Hey,Nick,can you come to my house on Saturday?My cousin Sam from Xi'an is going to be here.Nick:Oh,Sam!I remember we went bike riding together last fall when he visited you.

Sometimes they have problems with their school-work, and sometimes with their friends. What can they do about this? Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura.” But I think talking to someone helps a lot. Unless we talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”Laura once lost her wallet, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She ever walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking,” If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry! In the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful.. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!”Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura.” It is best not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and are always there to help them. In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it!。
