Unit1 Friendship Reading
ANNES BEST FRIEND Do you
want a friend whom
you could tell everything to, like your
deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you
afraid that your
friend would laugh at you, or
would not understand what you are
going
through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she
made
her diary her best friend. Anne lived in
Amsterdam in the
Netherlands during World War
II. Her family was Jewish so the
had to hide
or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She
and her family hide away for two years before
they were
discovered. During that time the
only true friend was her diary.
She said, I
dont want to set down a series of facts in a diary
as most people do, but I want this diary
itself to be my friend,
and I shall call my
friend Kitty. Now read how she felt after
being in the hiding place since July 1942.
Dear kitty, I wonder
if its because I havent
been able to be outdoors for so long
that Ive
grown so crazy about everything to do with nature.
I
can well remember that there was a time when
a deep blue sky,
the song of the birds,
moonlight and flowers could never have
kept me
spellbound. Thats changed since I was here. For
example,
when it was so warm, I stayed awake
on purpose until half past
1
15
eleven one evening in order to have
a good look at the moon for
once by myself.
But as the moon gave far too much light, I didnt
dare open a window. Another time some months
ago, I happened
to be upstairs one evening
when the window was open. I didnt
go
downstairs until the window had to be shut. The
dark, rainy
evening, the wind, the thundering
clouds held me entirely in
their power; it was
the first time in a year and a half that
Id
seen the night face to face SadlyI am only able to
look at
nature through dirty curtains hanging
before very dusty windows.
Its no pleasure
looking through these any longer because nature
is one thing that really must be experienced.
Yours, Anne Reading and writing Miss Wang
has received a
letter from Xiaodong. He is
also asking for some advice. Read
the letter
on the right carefully and help Miss Wang answer
it.
Dear Miss Wang, Im a student from Huzhou
Senior High School.

still find it hard
to make good friends with

I do
want to change this situation, but I dont know
how. I would
be grateful if you could give me
some advice.
Yours,
Xiaodong

English around the world
Reading THE
ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH At the end of the 16th
century, about five to seven million people
spoke English.
Nearly all of them lived in
England. Later in the next century,
people
from England made voyages to conquer other parts
of the
world and because of that, English
began to be spoken in many
other countries.
Today, more people speak English as their
first, second or foreign language than ever
before. Native
English speakers can understand
each other even if they dont
speak the same
kind of English. Look at this example: British
Betty: Would you like to see my flat? American
Amy: Yes, Id like
to come up to your
apartment. So why has English changed over
time? Actually all languages change and
develop when cultures
meet and communicate
with each other. At first the English
spoken
in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very
different from the English spoken today. It
was based more on
German than the English we
speak at present. Then gradually
3 15
between about AD 800 and
1150, English became less like German
because
those who ruled England spoken first Danish and
later
French. These new settlers enriched the
English language and
especially its
vocabulary. So by the 1600s Shakespeare was able
to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever
before. In 1620 some
British settlers moved to
America. Later in the 18th century
some
British people were taken to Australia too.
English began
to be spoken in both countries.
Finally by the 19th century the
language was
settled. At that time two big changes in English
spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote
his dictionary
and later Noah Webster wrote
The American Dictionary of the
English
Language. The latter gave a separate identity to
American English spelling. English now is also
spoken as a
foreign or second language in
South Asia. For example, India
has a very
large number of fluent English speakers because
Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During
that time English
became the language for
government and education. English is
also
spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in
Africa
such as South Africa. Today the number
of people learning
English in China is
increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have
the largest number of English learners. Will
Chinese English
develop its own identity? Only
time will tell. Using

Language STANDARD ENGLISH AND
DIALECTS What is standard
English? Is it
spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia,
India and New Zealand? Believe it or not,
there is no such thing
as standard English.
Many people believe the English spoken on
TV
and the radio is standard English. This is because
in the
early days of radio, those who reported
the news were expected
to speak excellent
English. However, on TV and the radio you
will
hear differences in the way people speak. When
people
use words and expressions different
form standard language, it
is called a
dialect. American English has many dialects,
especially the midwestern, southern, African
American and
Spanish dialects. Even in some
parts of the USA, two people from
neighbouring
towns speak a little differently. American
English has so many dialects because people
have come from all
over the world. Geography
also plays a part in making dialects.
Some
people who live in the mountains of the eastern
USA speak
with an older kind of English
dialect. When Americans moved form
one place
to another, they took their dialects with them. So
people from the mountains in the southeastern
USA speak with
almost the same dialect as
people in the northwestern USA. The
USA is a
large country in which many different dialects are
5 15
spoken.
Although many Americans move a lot, they still
recognize and understand each others dialects.
Reading and
speaking Amy and her American
friends are visiting London.
They plan to
visit Amys aunt and decide to go there by
underground, but cannot find the nearest
underground station.
So she asks directions
and then tells her friends. Read the
dialogue
and circle the words that mean the same. AMY:
Excuse
me, Mama. Could you tell me where the
nearest subways is? LADY:
Er...the
underground? Well, go round the corner on your
left-hand side, straight on and cross two
streets. Itll be on
your right-hand side.
AMY: Thanks so much. FRIENDS: What
did she
say, Amy? AMY: She told us to go around the corner
on
the left and keep going straight for two
blocks. The subway will
be on our right.
Unit3 Travel journal Reading JOURNEY DOWN
THE
MEKONG PART 1 THE DREAM AND THE PLAN My name
is Wang
Kun. Ever since middle school, my
sister Wang Wei and I have
dreamed about
taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought
an expensive mountain bike and then she
persuaded me to buy one.
Last year, she
visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their
college in Kunming. They are Dai and grew up
in western Yunnan
Province near the Lancang
River, the Chinese part of the river
that is
called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang
Wei

--------------------------------------
soon got them interested in cycling too. After
graduating from
college. we finally got the
chance to take a bike trip. I asked
my sister,
Where are we going? It was my sister who first had
the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong
River from where it
begins to where it ends.
Now she is planning our schedule for
the trip.
I am fond of my sister but she has one serious
shortcoming. She can be really stubborn.
Although she didn’t
know the best way of
getting to places, she insisted that she
organize the trip properly. Now, I know that
the proper way is
always her way. I kept
asking her, When are we leaving and when
are
we coming back? I asked her whether she had looked
at a map
yet. Of course, she hadn’t; my sister
doesn’t care about
details. So I told her that
the source of the Mekong is in
Qinghai
Province. She gave me a determined lookthe kind
that
said she would not change her mind. When
I told her that our
journey would begin at an
altitude of more than 5,000 meters,
she seemed
to be excited about it. When I told her the air
would
be hard to breathe and it would be very
cold, she said it would
be an interesting
experience. I know my sister well. Once she
has made up her mind, nothing can change it.
Finally, I had to
give in. Several months
before our trip, Wang Wei and I went
7
15
to the library. We found a
large atlas with good maps that showed
details
of world geography. From the atlas we could see
that
the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a
Tibetan mountain. At
first the river is small
and the water is clear and cold. Then
it
begins to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it
passes
through deep valleys, travelling across
western Yunnan
Province. Sometimes the river
becomes a waterfall and enters
wide valleys.
We were both surprised to learn that half of the
river is in China. After it leaves China and
the high altitude,
the Mekong becomes
wide，brown and warm. As it enters Southeast
Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or
meanders through
low valleys to the plains
where rice grows. At last, the river
delta
enters the South China Sea. Reading and

JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG PART 2 A
NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS
Although it was autumn,
the snow was already beginning to fall
in
Tibet. Our legs were so heavy and cold that they
felt like
blocks of ice. Have you ever seen
snowmen ride bicycles? That’s
what we looked
like! Along the way children dressed in long wool
coats stopped to look at us. In the late
afternoon we found it
was so cold that our
water bottles froze. However, the lakes
shone
like glass in the setting sun and looked
wonderful. Wang
Wei rode in front of me as
usual. She is very reliable and I

knew I did’t need to
encourage her. To climb the mountains was
hard
work but as we looked around us, we were surprised
by the
view. We seemed to be able to see for
miles. At one point we
were so high that we
found ourselves cycling through clouds.
Then
we began going down the hills. It was great fun
especially
as it gradually became much warmer.
In the valleys colourful
butterflies flew
around us and we saw many yaks and sheep eating
green grass. At this point we had to change
our caps, coats,
gloves and trousers for
T-shirts and shorts. In the early
evening we
always stop to make camp. We put up our tent and
then
we eat. After supper Wang Wei put her
head down on her pillow
and went to sleep but
I stayed awake. At midnight the sky became
clearer and the stars grew brighter. It was so
quiet. There was
almost no wind-only the
flames of our fire for company. As I
lay
beneath the stars I thought about how far we had
already
travelled. We will reach Dali in
Yunnan Province soon, where
our cousins Dao
Wei and Yu Hang will join us. We can hardly wait
to see them! Unit4 Earthquakes Reading
A NIGHT THE
EARTH DIDN’T SLEEP Strange
things were happening in the
countryside of
northeast Hebei. For three days the water in the
village wells rose and fell, rose and fell.
Farmers noticed that
9 15
the well walls had deep cracks in them.
A smelly gas came out
of the cracks. In the
farmyards, the chickens and even the pigs
were
too nervous to eat. Mice ran out of the fields
looking for
places to hide. Fish jumped out of
their bowls and ponds. At
about 3:00 am on
july28,1976,some people saw bright lights in
the sky. The sound of planes could be heard
outside the city
of Tangshan even when no
planes were in the sky. In the city,
the water
pipes in some buildings cracked and burst. But the
one million people of the city, who thought
little of these
events, were asleep as usual
that night. At 3:42 am
everything began to
shake. It seemed as if the world was at an
end! Eleven kilometers directly below the city
the greatest
earthquake of the 20th century
had begun. It was felt in Beijing,
which is
more than two hundred kilometers away. One-third
of
the nation felt it. A huge crack that was
eight kilometers long
and thirty meters wide
cut across houses, roads and canals.
Steam
burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock
became
rivers of dir. In fifteen terrible
seconds a large city lay in
ruins. The
suffering of the people was extreme. Two-thirds of
them died or were left without parents. The
number of people
who were killed or injured
reached more than 400,000. But how
could the
survivors believe it was natural? Everywhere they
---------------------------------------

----------------------------------
looked
nearly everything was destroyed. All of the city’s
hospitals,75%of its factories and buildings
and 90% of its
homes were gone. Bricks covered
the ground like red autumn
leaves. No wind,
however, could blow them away. Two dams fell
and most of the bridges also fell or were not
safe for travelling.
The railway tracks were
now useless pieces of steel. Tens of
thousands
of cows would never give milk again. Half a
million
pigs and millions of chickens were
dead. Sand now filled the
wells instead of
water. People were shocked. Then, later that
afternoon, another big quake which was almost
as strong as the
first one shook Tangshan.
Some of the rescue workers and doctors
were
trapped under the ruins. More buildings fell down.
Water,
food, and electricity were hard to get.
people began to wonder
how long the disaster
would last. All hope was not lost. Soon
after
the quakes, the army sent 150,000 soldiers to
Tangshan
to help the rescue workers. Hundreds
of thousands of people were
helped. The army
organized teams to dig out those who were
trapped and to bury the dead. To the north of
the city, most
of the 10,000 miners were
rescued from the coal mines there.
Workers
built shelters for survivors whose homes had been
destroyed. Fresh water was taken to the city
by train, truck
11 15
and plane. Slowly, the city began to
breathe again. Reading

Nelson Mandela-a modern hero Reading ELIAS
STORY My name is
Elias. I am a poor black
worker in South Africa. The time when
I first
met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of
my
life. I was twelve years old. It was in
1952 and Mandela was
the black lawyer to whom
I went for advice. He offered guidance
to poor
black people on their legal problems. He was
generous
with his time, for which I was
grateful. I needed his help
because I had
very little education. I began school at six. The
---------------------------------------
------------------------最新资料推荐--------------------
----------------------------------
school
where I studied for only two years was three
kilometers
away. I had to leave because my
family could not continue to
pay the school
fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write
well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold
mine. However,
this was a time when one had
got to have a passbook to live in
Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have it because
I was not born
there, and I worried about
whether I would become out of work.
The day
when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my
happiest.
He told my how to get the correct
papers so I could stay in
Johannesburg. I
became more hopeful about my future. I never
forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized
the ANC Youth
League, I joined it as soon as I
could. He said: The last
thirty years have
seen the greatest number of laws stopping our
rights and progress, until today we have
reached a stage where
we have almost no rights
at all. It was the truth. Black
people could
not vote or choose their leaders. They could not
get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in
which they had
to live were decided by white
people. The places outside the
towns where
they were sent to live were the poorest parts of
South Africa. No one could grow food there. In
fact as Nelson
Mandela said: we were put
into a position in which we had
13 15
either to accept we were less
important or fight the government.
We chose to
attack the laws. We first broke the law in a way
which was peaceful; when this was not
allowedonly then did we
decide to answer
violence with violence. As a matter of fact,
I
do not like violencebut in 1963 I helped him blow
up some
government buildings. It was very
dangerous because if I was
caught I could be
put in prison. But I was happy to help because
I knew it would help us achieve our dream of
making black and
white people equal. Reading
and discussing THE REST OF ELIAS’
STORY You
cannot imagine how the name of Robben Island made
us afraid. It was a prison from which no one
escaped. There I
spent the hardest time of my
life. But when I got there Nelsom
Mandela was
also there and he helped me. Mr. Mandela began a
school for those of us who had little
learning. He taught us
during the lunch breaks
and the evenings when we should have
been
asleep. We read books under our blankets and used
anything
we could find to make candles to see
the words. I became a good
student. I wanted
to study for my degree but I was not allowed
to do that. Later, Mr Mandela allowed the
prison guards to join
us. He said they should
not be stopped from studying for their
degrees. They were not cleverer than me , but
they did pass their
exams. So I knew I could
get a degree too. That made me feel
---

----------最新资料推荐----------------------------------
--------------------
good about myself.
When I finished the four years in prison,
I
went to find a job. Since I was better educated, I
got a job
working in an office. However, the
police found out and told
my boss that I had
been in prinson for blowing up government
buildings. So I lost my job. I did not work
again for twenty
years until M r Mandela and
the ANC came to power in 1994. All
that time
my wife and children had to beg for good and help
from
relatives or friends. Luckily Mr. Mandela
remembered me and
gave me a job taking
tourists around my old prison on Robben
Islannd. I felt bad the first time I talked to
a group. All the
terror and fear of that time
came back to me. I remembered the
beatings and
the cruelty of the guards and my friends who had
died. I felt I would not be able to do it, but
my family
encouraged me. They said that the
job and the pay from the new
South African
government were my reward after working all my
life for equal rights for the Blacks. So now
at 51 I am proud
to show visitors over the
prison, for I helped to make our people
free
in their own land.
