英语初二上冀教版unit2lesson14课文讲解和练习Lesson 14 Irfan studied China课文讲解1.The grocery store had many foods I didn’t know.食品店里有许多我不知道的食品。

[用法归纳]I didn’t know修饰foods，是定语从句，引导词that / which 省略，所修饰的名词为人时常用who/whom / that, 为物时常用which/ that. （引导词用作从句宾语时常省略，作主语时不可以省）。

例如：The bike （that）my father bought for me is broken. 我父亲给我买的那辆自行车坏了。

典例1The boy_______ I met in the street yesterday is my brother.A. whereB. whenC. thatD. whose解析：C 通过句意分析，I met 是定语从句，先行词是the boy，所修饰的名词为人时常用who/whom / that,故选C。

句意：昨天我在街上遇见的男孩是我弟弟。

[变式演练]（英译汉）The boy who came to see me yesterday is my brother.2. That’s a funny name, isn’t it?那是个很有趣的名字，不是吗？[用法归纳]该句是反意疑问句，由前后两部分构成。

当前面的陈述部分是肯定形式时，后面的疑问部分通常用否定形式。

反之亦然。

注意前后部分时态要一致，回答前后也要一致，根据事实回答，事实是肯定用Yes，事实是否定用No，来回答：例如：－It’s going to rain, isn’t it?要下雨了，不是吗？－Yes, it is. 是的。

典例2You aren’t a student, _____you?A. isB. isn’tC. areD. aren’t解析：这个反意疑问句的前面是否定，所以后面用肯定形式。

P.3Unit1 Encyclopaedias Look it up!Here are two articles from an encyclopaedia.Da Vinci, LeonardoLeonardo da Vinci(1452-1519) was an Italian painter, inventor, musician, engineer and scientist.Da Vinci was born in the countryside. From an early age, he showed great intelligence and artistic ability. As he grew older, he learnt to do many different things. His paintings are very famous, and one, the Mona Lisa, is perhaps the most famous painting in the world. He also had many inventions. For example, his notebooks include some interesting drawings of flying machines. (See Art) DinosaursDinosaurs lived on Earth more than 60 million years before human beings. They lived everywhere on Earth. Some dinosaurs were as small as chickens. Others were as big as ten elephants. Some could even fly.Many dinosaurs ate plants. However, some dinosaurs liked to eat meat.Dinosaurs lived on Earth for more than 150 million years.Then, suddenly, they all died out. Nobody knows why.However, we can learn about them from their fossils. (SeeEarth history)查找它！这里有来自百科全书的两篇文章。

外研版八年级英语上册电子课本（完整版）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 everyday.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 word. 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. Iget to know a lot about the world through reading.Lingling: I think writing is also important. Why don’t we try to find s English pen friends? We can write to them. Ms James: Excellent! I agreewith 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. Hereare 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 can only 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,ur school has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak toher. What should I do?”　You can say, “Hello! How are you?”“Do you like China?” These ar d ways to start a conversation. And before you begin, you should smile ather! Remember this: Do not be shy. Just try.The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote,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 it’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 populatio 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 othe r 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 o n the River Cam and has a population of about 120,000. My home is espe cially famous for its university. Many famous people studied here, such a s Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and c hurches to visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of E ngland and it is on the River Thames. It has a population of about seven a nd a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cambridge. It is about 2,0 00 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Towe r 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. Tou rists like the areas of low and beautiful lakes in the north, and the hills an d 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 exciting 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 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 kn Daming: That’s too bad! Sit down and watch the match. It’s safer th ying 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 that’s because it was cheaper than buying tickets for all th e 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 l essons, 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 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 andthe weather is cold too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be latefor 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 thatwe 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 veryheavy. 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. Betty: Then what about going by bike?Mum: That’s a good choice, but it’s a bit dangerous. There’s so m fic.Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, and it’s quite safe. Don rry. 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 t raffic 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 tellme 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 expen sive. 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 expensi ve. 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 summ er the coaches sometimes get crowded! And it takes you about twelve hou rs 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.Listen and readBetty: Lingling and I went to Lao She Teahouse last night.Tony: How was it?Betty: It was great!

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 amous.Tony: Who is Lao She? Betty: No idea. Ask Lingling.Lingling: Lao She is a great writer.

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 pa ndas produce more babies and help baby pandas live.2Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. Each p anda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The bamboo forests are getti ng smaller, so pandas are losing their home. And there are not many pand as left.3In order to protect pandas in the wild, the government is setting up n ature parks and developing other plans. The nature parks will be big and t here will be more bamboo to feed the pandas. Pandas born in zoos may g o back to live in the nature parks.4The World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) wants to protect all animal s. 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 the m all.Module7 A famous storyUnit1 Alice was sitting with her sister by the river.Tony: Hi,Lingling!Lingling: Ssh!

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 thephoto. The doctors sent the photo to a zoo. As soon as they learnt whatkind of snake bit him, they gave Henry the right medicine and he left hospital the next day.“So if a snake bites you, take out your mobile phone or camera.

Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with 200,000 people. People from Parkville moved to Armwick to find jobs. And they needed places to live.However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the governmentbuilt flats outside the centre. Soon, Parkville became part of Arnwick.And Arnwick became a city with over a million people. Jo’s family lives 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 toget 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? In fact, this is just a story. In fact, this is just a story.But it describes what is happening all over the world. Could it be yourtown some day?Module 10 The weatherUnit 1 It might snowBetty: Hey, boys!Tony: Hi, Betty.

I really wanted one.Betty: 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 youmustn’t do any cleaning on the first day of the Spring Festival. And youmustn’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 cut your hair during the Spring Festival month.Daming: And in the north of China, people eat lots of jiaozi!Betty: Perfect! They taste great.Tony: I like eating jiaozi too. Anyway, the Spring Festival is still over a month away. Let’s celebrate Lingling’s birthday first!Unit 2 In England you usually drink tea with milk.My experiences in England. I went to England last year. I enjoyed m y stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.Fo r example, you must say Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first t ime. When you get to know each other better or when they ask you to, yo u can just use their first names.One day we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together. After noon tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sand wiches 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 the 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 a nd eat it with your fingers. It is delicious!At the bus stop you must not push your way onto the bus. Y ou need to stand in a line behind the other people and wait your turn. Sometimes people are slow to get on the bus.Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smilepolitely and say, “Excuse me! Are you waiting for this bus?” He w y polite.Module 12 HelpUnit1 What should we do before help arrives?Ms James: This mornings class is about first aid, or giving someone basic medical help. Let’s imagine an accident. A boy is lying at the bottomof the stairs. He isn’t moving or making a sound. He is in pain. What canwe do to help him? Betty: First of all, find out what’s wrong with Ms James: How do we do that?Betty: Ask him.Ms James: Ok. But he could have trouble hearing you or speaking to you.Lingling: Shout for help?

If you are in a bus or car, stay in it.In the mount ains, be careful of falling rocks.On a beach, run away from the sea and m ove quickly to higher ground.In short, follow what you learnt in school.

八年级上册More practiceUnit 1Australia's big attractionsAustralia is a very big country. It also has many big attractions.The Big BananaThe big banana is in Coffs Harbour. It was made in 1964 by John Landy. Landy wanted something to make people come to his fruit shop, so he built the Big Banana. Landy The idea worked. Many people visited his fruit shop and took pictures of the Big Banana. Soon people all over Australia began making big things. The Big MerinoThe big Merino is in the city of Goulburn. Merinos are a type of sheep. They can live in dry weather. Some places in Australia are very dry, so these sheep are very important to the farmers there. Inside the Big Merino, there is a small museum about the history of wool in Australia. Visitors can also climb up to the Big Merino's head and look at the view through its eyes.Unit 2Counting before numbersBefore the invention of written numbers, people used many different ways to count things.At first, people used their fingers, and even their toes. However, they could only count small numbers in this way.After that, they began to make small marks on sticks and bones. This helped them count bigger numbers. They used them to count things like the days of the month, the amount of food and the number of animals they had.Then people began to use tokens made from clay or small stones. This helped them count even bigger numbers. They often put the tokens on pieces of string so that they could carry them around easily. This developed into tools like the abacus.Finally, people began to develop systems of written marks to show different numbers, and this led to the Hindu-Arabic system (0-9). We are still using this system today.Computer game problemsGood afternoon, parents and teachers. Thank you for attending this meeting.Last weekend, one of our students went to hospital. The student played computer games on the Internet all day Saturday without stopping to drink, eat or sleep. Finally, he became very ill.Some students play computer games for too long. This is a serious problem. In the past, students used to play outside more often, but now they spend more time in front of computers. This is bad for their health. Tomorrow we'll have some experts here to talk to the students about the bad effects of playing computer games. They'll also give some advice on how to use computers for studying.I hope we can all work together to stop students from spending too much time playing computer games. Thank you for your time.Unit 4A pen giantDo you know LászlóBíró?Maybe you do not, but you probably use his invention every day, and you may even have it in your hand right now!Bíró(1899-1985) was the inventor of the ballpoint pen. He was born in Budapest, Hungary. In the 1930s, when he worked as a newspaper editor, he used a fountain pen almost every day. However, he had to refill it all the time. The ink also did not dry easily, and it sometimes made a mess on the paper. Bírówanted a better pen. His brother, George, helped him develop a special ink. The ink dried easily. Then they developed a new type of pen. There was a tiny ball at the tip of the pen. The ball rolled ink onto paper as it moved. They called it the “ballpoint”pen.The ballpoint pen was a great success. Everyone loved it. Now millions of people use it all over the world every day.People will always remember Bírófor his invention.Today in many English-speaking countries, people still use the word “biro”to refer to any kind of ballpoint pen.Unit 5Take part in our educational exchangeDo you love to travel and meet new people?

The Chinese people have told it for many, many years.One day, Zhou Yu gave Zhuge Liang an impossible task. He asked him to make 100,000 arrows within ten days. “No problem,”Zhuge Liang said. “I'll bring you 100,000 arrows in three days.”Zhuge Liang asked his soldiers to fill 20 large boats with many straw men. In the early morning of the third day, Zhuge Liang's soldiers sailed the boats towards the camps of Cao Cao's army on the other side of the river. The soldiers shouted and beat their drums loudly.When Cao Cao's soldiers heard the sounds, they thought they were under attack. However, they could not see through the thick fog on the river. Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows towards the sounds of the drums and the shouting. Zhuge Liang's boats were soon full of arrows.Zhuge Liang's soldiers then turned the boats around and shouted, “Thank you for your arrows, Cao Cao. ”Zhuge Liang took all these arrows to Zhou Yu. There were more than 100,000 of them.Unit 7How to improve your memoryMemory is very important. It helps you remember who you are, where you live, what you have learnt and what you plan to do in the future.So, how can you improve your memory?It is important to exercise your brain. For example, you can do new things and change your daily habits. If you walk a different way to school or take a different bus, you will keep your brain active. You can try to memorize something new. You can try a Maths puzzle. You can also try to learn new skills or study a foreign language. Your brain gets lots of regular exercise if you do any of these things.If you live a healthy life, your memory will work better. You must have a balanced diet. You must give your brain enough time to rest. Unless you get enough sleep every night, you will not remember things well.If you want your brain to work well, you also need to relax. If you get too worried, your brain will slow down, and your memory will become less sharp.So, to improve your memory, you should exercise your brain, live a healthy life and stay relaxed.Unit 8Robin Hood and Prince JohnPrince John has caught Maid Marian and has set a trap for Robin Hood.Inside Prince John's castle.PJ: Now tell me, where's Robin Hood hiding?MM:Never!

Unit 1 Where did you go on vacation?conversation:R: Hi, Helen. Long time no see.H: Hi, Rick. Yes, I was on vacation last month.R: Oh, did you go anywhere interesting?H: Yes, I went to Guizhou with my family.R: Wow! Did you see Huangguoshu Waterfall?H: Yes, I did. It was wonderful! We took quite a few photos there. What about you? Did you do anything special last month?R: Not really. I just stayed at home most of the time to read and relax.passage:I arrived in Penang in Malaysia this morning with my family.lt was sunny and hot, so we decided to go to the beach near our hotel. My sister and l tried paragliding. l felt like l was a bird.lt was so exciting. For lunch, we had something very special——Malaysian yellow noodles. They were delicious. In the afternoon, we rode bicycles to Georgetown. There are a lot of new buildings now, but many of the old buildings are still there. In weld quay, a really old place in Georgetown, we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago. I wonder what life was like here in the past. I really enjoyed walking around the town.What 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. We 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! And because of the bad weather, we couldn't see anything below. My father didn't bring enough money, so we only had one bowl of rice and some fish. The food tasted great because I was so hungry!Unit 2 How often do you exercise? conversation:A:Hi,Claire,are you free next week?B:Hmm… next week is quite full for me, Jack.A:Really?How come?B:I have dance and piano lessons.A:What kind of dance are you learning?B:Oh,swing dance. It’s fun! I have class once a week, every Monday.A:How often do you have piano lessons?B:Twice a week, on Wednesday and Friday.A:Well,how about Tuesday?B:Oh,I have to play tennis with my friends. But do you want to come?A:Sure.2b passage:What 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. 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! Although many students like to 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, Anna?B:Oh,it was fantastic! Nelly sang so well!A:Well,I think Lisa sang better than Nelly.B:Oh,which one was Lisa?A:The one with shorter hair. I think she sang more clearly than Nelly.B:Yes,but Nelly danced better than Lisa.A:You can tell that Lisa really wanted to win, though.B:Well,everyone wants to win. 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 to make 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. 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: 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 Got Talent.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 show ?2d conversation:Grace: 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: Oh, I can’t stand them. I love soap opera. I like to follow the story and see what happens next.Sarah: Well, I don’t mind soap opera. But my favorite TV shows are the news and talk shows.Grace: Well,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.2b passage:When people say "culture", we think of art and history. But 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. 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’s?Unit 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 writer?B: Well,I'm going to keep on writing stories,of course. What do you what to be ?A:My parents want me to a doctor,but I'm not sure about that.B:Well ,don't worry. Not everyone knows what they want want to be .Just make sure you try your best. 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 andplans.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, Jill?B:It is book about the future.A:Sounds cool. So what will the future be like？B: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 planets?B:Maybe, But I want to live on the earth.A:Me too. Then what can we do?B: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, forexample, 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. First, buy some beef, one cabbage, four carrots, three potatoes, five tomatoes and one onion. Then, cut up the vegetables.A: what’s next?S: Next, put the beef, carrots and potatoes 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.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. 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!Oh,but Sam isn't leaving until next Wednesday.Can you hang out with us on Monday night?Nick:Sure!Catch you on Monday!2b passage:Hi 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.My 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.Letme know if you need my help.JakeDear classmates,As I’msure 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)2)Think of games to play.3)3)Prepare things we need for the games(glue,paper,pens,…).4)4)Bring Ms.Steen to the party without telling her so that she can be surprised.5)I look forward to hearing from you all.DavidUnit 10 If you go to the party,you’ll have a great time!2d conversation:Jeff：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.2b passage:Students these days often have a lot of worries. 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!。

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.。

-Module 1 How to learn EnglishUnit 1 Let ’s try to speak English as much as possible.Ms James: Welcome back, everyone! Today,we’ regoing 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 agood idea. Anddon’t forget to write down the correct answers next to the mistak es. What else?Lingling: It ’s agood 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 word. Ms James: Y ou 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? Wecan write to them. Ms James: Excellent! I agree with you.Unit 2You 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 can only understand a little. Whatca n I do?”Watching films and listening to songs are great way to learn English! Watch and listen several tim es, 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,“ Ourschool has a teacherfro m the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What shoulddo?I”You can say,“ Hello!How are you?”“ Doyou like China? ”These are good ways to start a conversat ion. 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, butI 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 piec es of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.Module 2My 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 onthe coast near Hong Kong. It was a small village about thirty years ago, but to day it ’s avery big city.Tony: So it ’s anewer city than Hong Kong?Daming: Yes, it ’s anewer city. In fact, it only became important in the1980s.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 Chin a. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. I thinkit ’s abeautiful 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 church es 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 Riv er Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cam bridge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bri dge.England itself is a part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and bea ches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low and beautiful lakes in the n orth, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice how gree n the countryside is.It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the ye ar, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days.Module 3 SportsUnit 1 Nothing is more exciting 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. Sothi s 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 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 that ’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 sch ool next week. The practice starts at 10 am. We all arrive as early as we can so that w e have time to warm up. We are training harder than usual because the other team bea t 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 practic e.Our coach is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year we w ere sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team in the fi nal match. What a pity! This year we practise more carefully. That means we have a b etter chance of winning.The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to play well so that we have mo re fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our fans around. They cheer us on lou dly and we feel more confident to win the game.-Module 4 Planes, ships, and trainsUnit1He 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 n obody was late, except me. Maybe I should go to school by taxi. Mum: It ’s the most comfortable way, butit ’s also the most expensive.Betty: Then what about going by bike?Mum: That ’s agood choice, butit ’s abit dangerous.There ’s somuch traffic.Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, andit ’s quite safe. Don’t worry. I ’ bell c arefull.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. Butit ’s socrowded! And the traffic ishea vy.Mum: All right. You can ride your bike to school, but remember to be careful all the ti me.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 ta ke and what is the best way to travel? Could you please tell me about the trains or shi ps 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 hot el. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside the city c entre and travel in by bus or by train.The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest, but in summer the coach es 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 5Lao She TeahouseUnit 1 I wanted to see the Beijing Opera.Listen and readBetty: Lingling and I went to Lao She Teahouse last night.Tony: How was it?Betty: It was great!

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 m any 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.2Pandas 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 ar e losing their home. And there are not many pandas left.3In 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.4The World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) wants to protect all animals. And it cho se the panda to be its symbol. We do not want to lose tigers, elephants, or any other a nimals, so the WWF is working hard to save them all.-Module7 A famous storyUnit1 Alice was sitting with her sister by the river.Tony: Hi,Lingling!Lingling: Ssh!

Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with 200,00 0 people. People from Parkville moved to Armwick to find jobs. And they needed p laces to live.However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the government built flats o utside the centre.

I enjoyed my stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.For example, you must say --Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time. When you get to know each ot her 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 n ot just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit c ake.In England you usually drink tea with milk.So I tried to drink tea with milk too.Fish and chips is the traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fi sh and chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your finge rs. It is delicious!At the bus stop you must not push your way onto the bus. You need to stand in a line behind the other people and wait your turn.

Are you waiting for this bus?”He was really polite.Module 12 HelpUnit1 What should we do before help arrives?Ms James: This mornings class is about first aid, or giving someone basic medical help.

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. B etty, you must 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 furniture.What to do in an earthquakeEarthquakes always happen suddenly, so it is difficult to warn people about them. Usually people have little or no idea about what to do during an earthquake, so here is some advice. Inside Do not jump out of high buildings. Hide under a table. Stay awa y from windows and heavy furniture. Keep clear of fires. Leave the building quickly when the ground stops shaking, but do not use the lift.Keep calm, especially when yo u are with other people. Be brave and be helpful.Outside Move away from buildings, because parts of a building may fall on you. Do not stand near street lights or under power lines. Stay away from bridges and tree s. If you are in a bus or car, stay in it.In the mountains, be careful of falling rocks.On a beach, run away from the sea and move quickly to higher ground.In short, follow what you learnt in school. You can be safe and you can also help save others精品文档考试教学资料施工组织设计方案精品文档考试教学资料施工组织设计方案--。
