第一单元 伟大的科学家
Reading 约翰.斯诺击败―霍乱王‖
约翰.斯诺是伦敦一位著名的医生—他的确医
术精湛,因而成为照料维多利亚
女皇的私人医生。但当他一想到要帮助那些得了霍乱的普通百姓时,他就
感到很振
奋。霍乱在当时是最致命的疾病,人们既不知道它的病源,也不了解它的治疗方
法。每
次暴发霍乱时,就有大批惊恐的老百姓病死。约翰.斯诺想面对这个挑战,
解决这个问题。他知道,在找
到病源之前,霍乱疫情是无法控制的。 斯诺对霍乱
致人死地的两种推测都很感兴趣。一种看法是霍乱病
毒在空气中腐殖着,像一股危
险的气流到处漂浮,直到找到病毒的受害者为止。第二种看法是在吃饭的时
候人们
把这种病毒引入体内的。病从胃里发作而迅速殃及全身,患者就会很快地死去。
1
斯诺推测第二种说法是正确的,但是他需要证据。因此,在1854年伦敦再次
暴发霍乱的时候
,约翰.斯诺着手准备对此调研。当霍乱在贫民区迅速蔓延的时
候,约翰.斯诺就开始收集资料。他发现
特别在两条街道上霍乱流行的很严重,在
10天之内就死去了500多人。他决心要查明其原因。 <
br>首先,他在一张地图上标明了所有死者住过的地方。这提供了一条说明霍乱起
因的很有价值的线索
。许多死者是住在宽街的水泵附近(特别是这条街上16、37、
38、40号)。他发现有些住宅(如
宽街上20号和21号以及剑桥上的8号和9号)却
无人死亡。他以前没预料到这种情况,所以他决定深
入调查。他发现,
这些人都在剑桥街7号的酒馆里打工,而酒馆为他们免费提供啤酒
喝,因此他
们没有喝从宽街水泵抽上来的水。看来水是罪魁祸首。
接下来,约翰.斯诺调查
了这两条街的水源情况。他发现,水是从河里来的,
而河水被伦敦排出的脏水污染了。他马上叫宽街上惊
慌失措的老百姓拆掉水泵上的
把手。这样,水泵就用不成了。不久,疫情就开始得到了缓解。他证明了,
霍乱是
由病菌而不是由气团传播的。
在伦敦的另一个地区,他从两个与宽街暴发的霍乱有关
联的死亡病例中发现了
有力的证据。有一位妇女是从宽街搬进来的,她特备喜欢那里的水,每天都要派人
从水泵打水运到
2
家里来。她和她的女儿喝了这种水,都得了霍乱而死去。有了
这个特别的证
据,约翰.斯诺就能够肯定地宣布,这种被污染了的水携带着病菌。
为了防止
这种情况的再度发生,约翰.斯诺建议所有水源都要经过检测。自来
水公司也接到指令,不能再让人们接
触被污染的水了。最终,―霍乱王‖被打败
了。

哥白尼的革命性理论
尼古拉.哥白尼被吓得心烦意乱。虽然他曾经试着不去理睬那些数字,然而他<
br>所有的数学计算都得出了一个相同的结论:地球不是太阳系的中心。只有当你把太
阳放在中心位置
上,天空中其他行星的运动才能说得清楚。他的这个理论可不能告
诉任何人,因为即使他只暗示有这种想
法,他都会收到强大的基督教教会势力的惩
罚。教会认为世界是上帝创造的,正因为如此,地球就具有特
殊的意义,它必定要
成为太阳系的中心。
这样,问题就来了,因为天文学家以前发现过,天上有些行星停顿下来,往
后移动,然后再成环状向前移动,而其他行星看上去有时亮些,有时又不怎么
亮。如果地球是太阳系的中
心,而所有的行星环绕着地球转的话,那么这种现象就
很奇怪了。
哥白尼曾经对这种问题苦
苦思索过很久,试图找出问题的答案。他曾经收集过
观测星球的数据,并且利用他的全部数
3
学知识来解释这些数据。但是只有他的新理论才能作出解释。于是,他在1510
年至1514
年期间从事这项研究,逐步修改他的理论,直到他感到完善时为止。
1514年,他把他的新理论私
下里给他的朋友们看。他对旧理论的修改是具有革
命性的。他把太阳固定在太阳系的中心位置上,而行星
则围绕着太阳转,只有月球
仍然绕着地球转。他还提出地球在围绕太阳转的同时,它自身还自转,这样就
说明
了行星运动的变化情况以及星球的亮度问题。他的朋友都热情地鼓励他把他的想法
公诸于世
,而他却小心谨慎,他不想遭到基督教教会势力的攻击,所以他只是在
1543年临终之前才把它公布出
来。
当然,他小心谨慎是对的。基督教教会拒绝接受他的理论,说这种理论违背了
上帝的旨
意,而支持这种理论的人都会受到打击。然而哥白尼的理论却是我们宇宙
观赖以建立的基础。他的理论还
改变了基督教对地心引力的看法,他们认为物体往
地球上掉落是因为上帝创造了地球,而地球正是宇宙的
中心。哥白尼表明这是明显
错误的。如今人们可以看到,他的这些想法与艾萨克.牛顿、阿尔伯特.爱因
斯坦以
及斯蒂芬.霍金等人的研究都有着直接的联系。
第二单元 联合王国
Reading 地理之谜
人们也许觉得奇怪,为什么用来描述英格兰、威尔士、苏
4
格兰和北爱尔兰这
四个国家的词语不太一样。但如果你学过英国历史,就能弄清楚这个问题。
首先是英格兰。
威尔士于13世纪同英格兰联合起来。如今只要有人提起英格
兰,你就会发现威尔士总是包括在内的。接
着,英格兰、威尔士同苏格兰于17世
纪联合了起来,名字就改成了―大不列颠‖。令人庆幸的是,当苏
格兰的詹姆斯国
王成为英格兰和威尔士的国王时,这三个国家和平地实现了联合。最后,英国政府
打算于20世纪初把爱尔兰也同另外三个国家和平联合起来已形成联合王国。然
而,爱尔兰的南部却不
愿意而分离出去,并建立了自己的政府。因而只有北爱尔兰
同英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰联合起来,而组成
了联合王国,这一点从新的联合王国
国旗就可以看出来。
值得称赞的是,虽然这四个国家的
确在一些方面共同合作,例如在货币和在国
际关系上,但它们在制度上仍存在着很大的区别。例如,北爱
尔兰、英格兰和苏格
兰在教育体制和立法体制上都存在差异。在参加像世界杯之类的比赛时,它们有着<
br>各自的球队。
在这四个国家中,英格兰是最大的。为了方便,它大致可以划分为三个地区。<
br>最靠近法国的那个地区叫做英格兰南部,中部地区叫做英格兰中部,最靠近苏格兰
的那个地区叫做
苏格兰北部。你可以看到英国的大部分人口聚居在南部,
5
而多数大工业城市都位于中部
和北部。尽管,英国任何一个城市都不像中国的
城市那样大,但是它们都有着自己的享有威名的足球队,
有的城市甚至还有两个
队。很遗憾,这些建于19世纪的工业城市对游客并没有吸引力。要找历史性建筑
你得去更古老的、比较小些的由古罗马人建造的城镇。在那儿你才可能找到更多的
有关英国历史
和文化的东西。
最具历史意义的宝地是伦敦。那儿有博物馆,有艺术珍品、剧院、公园和各
p>
种建筑物。它是全国的政治中心。它有公元一世纪由古罗马人建造的最古老的
港口,
有由盎格鲁-撒克逊人始建于11世纪60年代的最古老的建筑,还有公元
1066年由后来的诺曼人统
治者建造的最古老的城堡。曾经有四批侵略者到过英
国。最早的入侵者是古罗马人,他们留下了他们的城
镇和道路。其次是盎格鲁-撒
克逊人,他们留下了他们的语言和政体。第三是斯堪的纳维亚人,他们对词
汇和北
部的地名留下了影响。第四是诺曼人,他们留下了城堡和新的食物名称的词语。
如果
你到英国乡间去看看,你就会找到所有这些入侵者的痕迹。如果想使你的
英国之旅不虚此行又有意义,你
就必须留心观察。
Using Language 伦敦观光记
由于担心时间不够,张
萍玉早就把她想要在伦敦参观的地点列了一张单子。她
最想参观的地方是伦敦塔,它是很久以
6
前由入侵的诺曼人在公元1066年修建的。真是太棒了~这个坚实的用石头砌
的方形塔已经屹立在那儿一千年了。尽管在塔的四周扩建了一些建筑,但它仍然是
皇宫和监狱联合体的一
个组成部分。让张玉萍十分惊讶的是,她发现女王的珠宝由
皇家的特别卫士守着,而这些卫士在一些特殊
的日子仍然穿着400年前伊丽莎白一
世女王时代的制服。
接着参观的是圣.保罗大教堂,
它是1666年可怕的伦敦大火以后建造的,刚建
成的时候,它看起来真是金碧辉煌。伦敦威斯敏斯特大
教堂也是很有意思的地方,
里面珍藏着一些已故诗人和作家的雕像,例如莎士比亚的雕像。正当萍玉从大
教堂
往外走的时候,她听到了著名的大本钟在整点敲响的钟声。她参观了女王伦敦住所
白金汉宫
的外景,以此结束了一天的观光。啊,她要同朋友们讲的实在太多了~
第二天,萍玉姑娘参观了格林尼治天文台,看到了古老的轮船和著名的为世

Unit 1 Festivals around the world
B3U1P1-3
FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS
Ancient Festivals
Festivals and celebrations
of all kinds are held everywhere. The
most
ancient festivals would celebrate the end of the
cold weather,
planting in spring and harvest
in autumn. Other celebrations were held
when
hunters could catch animals. They would starve if
food was
difficult to find, so they celebrated
when they had food. They lit fires
and made
music because they thought these festivals would
bring a year
of plenty. Festivals of the Dead
Some festivals are held to honour the dead, or
satisfy and please
the ancestors, who could
return either to help or to do harm. In Japan
the festival is called Obon, when people
12
should go to clean the graves and
light incense in memory of their
ancestors.
They light lamps and play music because they think
that this
will lead the ancestors back to
earth. In Mexico they have the Day of
the Dead
in early November. On this important feast day,
people might
eat food in shape of skulls, and
cakes with ,bones‖ on them. They offer
food,
flowers and gifts to the dead. The festival of
Halloween had its
origin as an event in memory
of the dead. It is now a children‘s
festival, when they can go to their
neighbours‘ homes and ask for
sweets. They
dress up and try to frighten people. If they are
not given
anything, the children might play a
trick.
Festivals to Honour People
Festivals can be held as an honour to famous
people or to the gods.
One of these is the
Dragon Boat Festival in China, which honours the
famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. Another is
Columbus Day in the USA, in
memory of the
arrival of Christopher Columbus in America. In
India there
is a national festival on October
2 to honour Mahatma Gandhi, the leader
who
helped gain India‘s independence from
Britain.
Harvest Festivals
13
Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very
happy events. People
are grateful because
their food is gathered for the winter ,and because
a season of agricultural work is over. In
European countries it is the
custom to
decorate churches and town halls with flowers and
fruit, and
people get together to have meals.
Some people might win awards for
their
animals, flowers, fruits and vegetables, like the
biggest
watermelon or the most handsome
rooster. In China and Japan there are
mid-
autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and
give gift of
mooncakes.
Spring Festivals
The most energetic and important
festivals are the ones that look
forward to
the end of winter and to the coming of spring. At
the Spring
Festival in China, people eat
dumplings, fish and meat, and may give
children lucky money in the red paper. There
are dragon dances and
carnivals, and
families celebrate the lunar New Year
together. In some Western
countries there are
very exciting carnivals, which take place forty
days
before Easter, usually in February. They
might include parades, dancing
in the streets
day and night, loud music and colourful clothing
of all
kinds. Easter
14
is an
important religious and social festival in
Christian countries.
It celebrates the return
of Jesus for Christians and it also celebrates
the coming of spring. In Japan, the Cherry
Blossom Festival happens a
little later. The
country is covered with cherry tree flowers so
that it
looks as though it might be covered
with pink snow.
People love to get together
to eat, drink and have fun with each
others.
Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our
customs and forget
our daily life for a little
while.
B3U1P4
We think it has always
been the custom for people to have festivals.
They are a time to enjoy each other‘s company
and
have fun with our friends. We think that
long ago people looked
forward to the
celebrations. Our ancestors would sit round a fire
and
cook plenty of meat to eat. Then
they would be satisfied with their
festival.
B3U1P7
A SAD LOVE STORY
Li Fang was
heart-broken. It was Valentine‘s Day and Hu
Jin had said she would meet him at the coffee
shop after work. But
she didn‘t turn up. She
could be with her friends right now laughing at
him. She said she would be there at
15
seven o‘clock, and he thought she would keep
her word. He had
looked forward to meeting her
all day, and now he was alone with his
roses
and chocolates, like a fool. Well, he was not
going to hold his
breath for her apologise. He
would drown his sadness in coffee.
It was
obvious that the manager of the coffee shop was
waiting for
Li Fang to leave
,he wiped
the tables, then sat down and turned on the
TV,just what
Li Fang needed! A sad Chinese
story about lost love.
The seventh daughter
of the Goddess of Heaven visited the earth. Her
name was Zhinu, the weaving girl, and she was
the most lovely of the
daughters. While she
was on earth she met the herd boy Niulang and they
fell in love. (,Just
like me and Hu Jin,
‖thought Li Fang.) They got married
secretly,
and they were very happy. (,We could be like that,
‖
thought Li Fang.) When the Goddess of Heaven
knew that her daughter was
married to a
human, she became very angry and made the weaving
girl
return to Heaven. Niulang tried to follow
her, but the river of stars,
the Milky Way,
stopped him. Finding that Zhinu was heart-broken,
her
mother finally decided to let the couple
16
cross the Milky Way to meet once a
year. This happens when the stars
Vega and
Altair meet in the Heaven. Magpies make a bridge
of their wings
so the couple can cross the
river to meet on the seventh lunar month.
people in China hope that the weather will be
fine on that day, because
if it is raining, it
means that Zhinu is weeping and the couple won‘t
be able to
meet.
The announcer said,
,this is the story of Qiqiaojie. When foreigners
hear about the story, they call it a Chinese
Valentine‘s story. It‘s a
fine day today, so I
hope you can all meet the one you love.‘‘
As
Li Fang set off for home, he thought, ,I guess Hu
Jin doesn‘t
love me. I‘ll just throw these
flowers and chocolates away. I don‘t
want them
to remind me of her.‘‘ So he did.
As he sadly
passed the tea shop on the corner on his way home,
he
heard a voice calling him. There was Hu Jin
waving at him and
calling, ,Why are you so
late? I‘ve been
waiting for you for a long
time! And I have a gift for you!‖
What would
he do? He had thrown away her Valentine gifts! She
would
never forgive him. This would not be a
happy Valentine‘s Day!

Winter carnival in Quebec
We are
sitting in a café in old Quebec, drinking hot
coffee to try
to warm up. The temperature is
32 degrees below freezing. The windows
are
covered with steam from the heat inside. Outside,
the snow covers
the streets and is piled up
along the sidewalks and in parking lots. The
music and lights of the carnival continue, but
we have been watching the
parades, riding in
horse carriages and listening to the music all
day.
Our feet are freezing and our noses are
red.
Quebec carnival is the biggest winter
festival in the world – every
year, hundreds
of thousands of people come to Quebec to take part
in a
week of activities. If you come, you must
be prepared to keep moving, as
it is too cold
to stand and watch for long.
Early in the
morning, you can watch the snowboarding
competitions on
the hill overlooking the
river. The competitions speed down the track
and through the air though they could fly.
If you are brave enough, you can try the canoe
race. Five or six men
paddle in each canoe
across the great St Lawrence River, which is
partly
frozen. Of course, the river is full of
big pieces of ice, and if you
were to fall in,
you
18
would freeze in less than two
minutes.
One of the favourite events
is the dog-sled race, in which teams of
about
6 Husky dogs pull long sleds at great speeds along
a snowy track.
One person runs behind the
sled, shouting to the dogs to encourage them.
The sound of the dogs barking, the calls of
the drivers and the shouts
of the crowd make
an exciting Northern experience. The dogs are
beautiful strong animals, with long, thick
fur. Many of them have blue
eyes.
After
admiring the ice sculptures everywhere in the
city, much like
those in Harbin in China, you
can have a cup of tae or coffee in an
igloo.
It is amazing how warm these ice houses can be!
Late in the evening, you can go to the snow
palace, where Bonhomme
the snowman is king,
and join the crowd. You can dance outside to the
music of a band, who are all dressed in heavy
clothes – even some of
their instruments are
dressed up for winter.
Finally we sit down in
our café to warm up and to plan tomorrow –
perhaps we‘ll join the snowmobile races – or
perhaps we‘ll just sleep in.

COME
AND EAT HERE (1)
Wang Peiwei sat in his empty
restaurant feeling very frustrated. It
had
been a very strange morning. Usually he got up
early and prepared
his menu of mutton kebabs,
roast pork and fried rice. Then by lunchtime
they would all be sold. His restaurant
ought to be full of people. But
not today! Why
was it so? What could have happened? He thought of
his
mutton kebabs and fatty
pork cooked
in the hottest, finest oil. His fried rice was hot
but
did not taste of fat. His cola was sugary
and cold and his ice cream was
made of eggs,
milk, cream and
fruit. ,Nothing could have
been better,‖ he thought.
Suddenly he saw his
friend Li Maochang hurrying by. ,Hello,
Maochang,‖he called, ,Your usual?‖ But
Maochang seemed not to hear. What was the
matter? Something terrible
must have happened
if Maochang was not coming to eat with him as he
always did.
Pengwei followed Li Maochang
into a newly-opened small restaurant at
the
end of the street. There was a sign in the window.
Tired of all that fat? Want to be thinner?
20
Come inside to Yong Hui’s slimming
restaurant.
Only slimming foods served here.
Make yourself thin again.
Curiosity drove
Wang Pengwei inside. It was full of people. A very
thin lady came forward. ,Welcome!‖ she
said, ,My name is Yong Hui.I will take all
that fat off you in two
weeks if you eat here
every day.‖ Then she gave a menu
to
Wang Peiwei. There were only two kinds of food and
one drink on
it: raw vegetables, fruit and
water. Wang Peiwei was amazed at this and
especially at the prices. It cost more than a
good meal in his own
restaurant. He could not
believe his eyes! He threw away the menu and
hurried outside. On his way home he thought
about his own menu. Did it
make people fat? He
wondered if he should go to the library to find
out.
He couldn‘t have Yong Hui getting away
with
telling people lies! He had better do
some research!
After reading, he realised
what was wrong with Yong Hui‘s
restaurant. It
was not giving its customers energy-giving food!
After
eating in her restaurant people would
become tired very quickly. Perhaps
this was a
way to win his customers back! Peng Wei wrote his
own sign.
It said:
Want to feel fit?
21
Come and eat here!
Our food gives
you energy all day!
The competition between
the two restaurants was on!
B3U2P12
Daisy wished to be ,,,so that she could wear
all the
latest, cool clothes designed for the
young. She decided to do
some ,,,into what
foods should be eaten to become thinner. She
learned
that one of the ,,,of not eating
enough was to become very tired
quickly. When she went to the doctor,
he told
her she could be thinner as well as healthy if she
ate more
vegetables like beans,,,, and ,,,.So
she did. She felt very fit when she started
eating more ,,
, foods as well as her usual
energy–giving foods. She even
began to enjoy
eating all the vegetables,,, rather than
cooked. She soon looked like a model!
B3U2P14&P15
COME AND EAT HERE (2)
The next day Wang Pengwei’s restaurant was
nearly full
and he felt happier. Perhaps he
would be able to earn his living
after all and
not have to close his restaurant. He did not look
forward
to being in debt because his
restaurant was no longer popular. He
smiled
.But the smile left his face
22
when he
saw Yong Hui walking in. She did not look happy
but glared
at him as she moved round
the
customers. ,May I ask what you were doing in my
restaurant
yesterday? I thought you were a new
customer and now I find you came
only to spy
on me and my menu,‖
she shouted. ―Please
excuse me,‖ he calmly explained,―I
wanted to
know where all my customers had gone yesterday. I
followed
one of them and found them in your
restaurant. I don‘t want to upset
you but I
found your menu so limited that I stopped worrying
and started
advertising the benefits of
my food. Why don‘t you sit down and try a
meal?‖
Yong Hui agreed to stay and soon
they were both enjoying the
dumplings, fatty
pork and cola. When they were served the ice cream
Yong
Hui began to look ill. ―I feel sick with
all this fat and heavy
food,‖she said,―I miss
my vegetables and fruit.‖Wang Pengwei was just
enjoying a second plate of dumplings so he
sighed.―yes,‖he added,―and
I would miss my
dumplings and fatty pork. But don‘t you tired
quickly?‖
―Well, now you mention it. I do
have to rest a lot, ‖
admitted Yong Hui. ―But
don‘t you think it would be
better if you
were a bit thinner?‖ she asked Wang Pengwei. ―I‘m
sure you would feel much healthier.‖
23
They began chatting about menus and balanced
diets. ―My research
has shown me that neither
your restaurant
nor mine offers a balanced
diet,‖explained Pengwei,―I don‘t
offer enough
fibre and you don‘t offer enough
body–building or energy–giving foods. Perhaps
we ought to
combine our menus and provide a
balanced menu with foods full of
energy and
fibre. ‖So that is what they did ,They served raw
vegetables
with the hamburgers and boiled the
potatoes rather than fried them .Then
they
served fresh fruit with ice cream. In this way
they cut down the
fat and increased the fibre
in the meal. Their balanced menus became
such a success that before long Wang
Pengwei became slimmer and Yong Hui
heavier.
After some time the found that their business
cooperation had
turned into a personal one
.Finally they got married and lived happily
ever after!

THE TOWN HAS
TO DECIDE
(At the meeting that evening there
are two speakers: one for and one
against
building a McDonald‘s restaurant.)
FOR
BUILDING A MCDONALD‘S
I was excited when I
heard that our community(社区) was
24
to
have its own McDonald‘s restaurant. I thought
about all
those young people who would not
have to go to the next town to buy
their
favourite burgers and chips. McDonald‘s
cares
about healthy eating too and works with scientists
to provide
food that is of high quality,safe
and healthy. It is also cheap .They
often
provide salads as well as burgers and chips. You
can also choose
between cola and milk shakes(奶
昔). Of course it also means more work for our
area that needs jobs
badly. McDonald‘s say
they are interested in
doing what is right
for the community and being a good neighbour. So
I think they will be concerned about providing
parking for the cars in
our main street. Many
of our young people will be only too happy to work
for it. They make a promise to the
people that work for them. They
say,―We
value you, your growing skills and your help
to the company.‖I can
see nothing but good if
this company comes to build its restaurant in
our town.
AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALD‘S
I am very worried about McDonald‘s building a
restaurant in our hometown. We are a small
community and we enjoy
our local dishes. I am
not sure if McDonald‘s food
is as healthy as
they say in their advertisements. When
25
scientists look at it carefully they find high
levels of fat,
