Section A 3a
We live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quiet and
nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days, something unusual is
happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was
interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noisesoutside
our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and Ithink it must
be teenagers having fun. My parents called the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything
strange. They think it might be the wind. I don’t think so!”
我们住在一个小镇上，并且
几乎每 个人都彼此认识。它过去一直很安静，这附近未曾发生过什么事。然而，这些天来
某件不寻常的事正在我 们镇发生。维克托，我的学校的一名教师，非常紧张。城镇报社采
访他时，他说：“每天晚上我们都听到 窗外有奇怪的噪音。我妻子认为它可能是一种动物，
但我和我的朋友们认为那一定是青少年在玩耍。我的 父母报了警，但他们没发现任何异常。

6

他们认为那可能是风造成的，我并不这样认为！“

Victor’s next-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. “At first, I thought that it might
be a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, either. So I guess it can’t be a
dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something running away, but
it was dark so she is not sure. “I think it was too big to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear
or a wolf.”
维克 托的隔壁邻居海伦也很担心。“起初，我认为它可能是一只狗，但我没看到
狗，也没看见其他任何东西。 所以我猜测它不可能是一只狗。但它可能是什么呢？”当地的
一个妇女看见有个东西逃跑了，但是天黑了 ，所以她不确定。“我认为它太大而不可能是一
只狗，”她说，“也许它是一只熊或一只狼。”

Everyone in our town is feeling uneasy, and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must
be something visiting the homes in our neighborhood, but what is it? We have no idea.
Most people hope that this animal or person will simply go away, but I do not think that is
going to happen. The noise-maker is having too much fun creating fear in the
neighborhood.
我们镇的每个人都在感到不安，并且每个人都有他 她自己的观点。一定有
什么东西闯入了我 们社区的住户家中，但它是什么呢？我们不知道。大多数人希望这个动
物或人会径直走开，但我认为它没 那么简单。噪音制造者非常乐于在社区里制造恐惧。

Stonehenge — Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There?巨石阵—谁能解释它的纯在？
Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places, but
also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors.
Especially in June, people go to this place as they want to see the sun rising on the longest
day of the year. 巨石阵 ，一个岩石圈，不仅是英国的最著名的历史古迹之一，而且是最大
的谜团之一。每年，它接待75万多游 客。人们尤其喜欢在六月份去这个地方，因为他们想
在一年中最长的一天看日出。

For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders
tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true
because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much
later,” he points out. 许多年来，历史学家认为巨石阵是一座古代领导人试图与神灵沟通的
寺庙。然 而，历史学家保罗•斯托克认为这不可能是真实的，因为巨石阵建于许多个世纪之
前。“这些领导人抵达 英国玩得多，”他指出。

Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones
were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into
the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think
the stones can prevent illness while keeping people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel
the energy from your feet climb up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what
Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special
purpose. Some think it might be a burial place, or a place to honor ancestors. Others think
it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy. 另一个普遍的观点是，巨石阵可能是一种
日历。这些 巨石以一种特定的方式被放置在一起。在盛夏的早晨，太阳直接照射在石头的
中心。其他人认为这些石头 有一种医学目的。他们认为这些石头能够预防疾病，并使人们
保持健康。“当你走到那儿时，你可以感觉 到能量从你的脚上传到你的身体，”一个游客说。
没有人确定巨石阵被用来干什么，但大多数人赞同石头 的位置一定有一个特殊的目的。一
些人认为它可能是一个墓地或敬重祖先的地方。其他人认为它是为抢占 战胜敌人而建的。

Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must
be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the
stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another
Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. 巨石阵是历经一段很长的时期被慢慢建成的。大多数历史学

7

家认 为它一定接近5000年了。最大的谜团之一是它是如何建成的，因为那些石头又大又重。
在2001年 ，一群英国志愿者试图建造另一个巨石阵，但他们没能建成。

“We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might
never know, but we do know they must have been hardworking — and great planners!”
“我们真的不知道谁建造了巨石阵，”保罗•斯托克说，“或许我 们可能永远不知道，但我们的
确值得他们一定很勤奋—而且是伟大的规划者！”

What Do You Feel Like Watching Today?今天你想看什么（电影）呢？

While some people only stick to one kind of movie, I like to watch different kinds depending
on how I feel that day. 虽然一些人坚持只看一种电影，但是我喜欢看不同种类的电影，（具
体）由当时的心情决定。
When I’m down or tired, I prefer movies that can cheer me up. Comedies like Men in
Black or cartoons like Kungfu Panda have funny dialogues and usually have a happy ending. The
characters may not be perfect, but they try their best to solve their problems. After watching them,
I’m filled with hope again and the problems I have suddenly seem less serious. Laughing for two
hours is a good way to relax! 当我情绪低落或感到疲惫的时候，我更喜欢看能让我开心的影
片。比如，像《黑衣人》那样的喜剧片或像 《功夫熊猫》这类的动画片，通常都有滑稽的
对话和一个愉快的结局。影片中的人物不一定完美，但是他 们都会尽力去解决问题。看了
这样的电影，我所面对的许多问题突然间会显得不那么严重，我也会感觉好 多了。两个小
时的欢笑是一种很好的放松方式。

I don’t watch dramas or documentaries when I’m sad or tired. Dramas like Titanic make
me feel even sadder. Documentaries like March of the Penguins which provide plenty of
information about a certain subject can be interesting, but when I’m tired I don’t want to think too
much. I don’t mind action movies like Spider-Man when I’m too tired to think. I can just shut off
my brain, sit back and enjoy watching an exciting superhero who always saves the world just in
time. 当我伤心或劳累的时 候，我不看剧情片或纪录片。像《泰坦尼克号》这样的剧情片只
会让我更伤心。像《帝企鹅日记》这样的 纪录片，（通常）会针对某个特定话题提供丰富
的信息，（内容）也很有趣儿，但是当我累的时候，我不 想思考太多当我太累不想思考时，
我不介意看像《蜘蛛侠》这样的动作电影。我只想屏蔽我的大脑，坐在 那里观看一个令人
兴奋的超级英雄，他总是能在关键时刻挽救世界。

Once in a while, I like to watch movies that are scary, like horror movies or thrillers. Movies
like The
Ring or The Shining can be fun, but I’m too scared to watch them alone. I always bring a friend
who isn’t afraid of these kinds of movies. 偶尔我会喜欢看恐怖片。虽然它们很有意思，但是
我会因为太害怕而不敢独自一个人看 ，我总会带上一位不怕这类型电影的朋友（一起看），
这就会觉得没那么可怕了。

Sad but Beautiful凄美

Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folkmusic. The
piece which was played on the erh u especially moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but
under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain. The piece had a simple name, “Moon
Reflected on Second Spring”, but was one of the most moving pieces of music that I’ve ever
heard. The erhu sounded like it was crying, and I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I
looked up the history of “Moon Reflected on Second Spring”, and I began to understand the
sadness in the music. 昨晚我的一个中国朋 友带我去听了一场中国民间音乐会。其中有一首
二胡曲令我特别感动。音乐出奇的美，但是在那美的背后 ，我感受到悲伤和痛苦。这首曲
子有个简单的名字《二泉映月》，但它是我听过的最感人的曲子之一。二 胡的声音听起来
那么悲伤，以至于我在听的时候也几乎随着它哭了。后来我查阅了《二泉映月》的历史，
开始理解音乐中蕴含的伤感。

The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in
1893. Just one year later, his mother died. Abing’s father taught him to play many musical
instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and by age 17, Abing was known for his musical
ability. However, after his father died, Abing’s life grew worse. He was very poor, caught a
serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and
played music to make money. Even after Abing got married and had a home again, he continued
to sing and play in the city streets. He performed in this way for many years. 这首曲子是由一位
民间音乐家阿炳写成，他于1893年出生在无锡市。在他还小的时候，他的母亲就去 世了。
阿炳的父亲教他弹奏各种乐器，如鼓、笛子和二胡。到了17岁，阿炳就以他的音乐天赋闻
名。然而，他的父亲去世以后，阿炳的生活变得更糟糕。他很穷，还得了严重的疾病，眼
睛瞎了。好些 年他都没有家，他住在大街上，以弹奏音乐来谋生。即使他结了婚有了家以
后，他还是继续在街道上唱歌 、弹曲，他以这种方式表演了好多年。

Abing’s amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. By the end
of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music, many of which he wrote himself. It is a pity
that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear, but his popularity
continues to this day. Today, Abing’s “Moon Reflected on Second Spring” is a piece which all
the great erhu masters play and praise. It has become one of China’s national treasures. Its sad
beauty not only paints a picture of Abing’s own life but also makes people recall their deepest
wounds from their own sad or painful experiences. 阿炳惊人的音乐技能让他在有生之年就非
常出名。到他临终前，他已会弹6 00多首曲子，大部分是他自己写的。遗憾的是，一共只
有6首曲子被录了下来得以传世，但时至今日， 他（的作品）依旧颇受人们喜爱。今天，
阿炳的《二泉映月》成了所有伟大的二胡演奏家弹奏和赞赏的曲 子。它已成为了中国文化
瑰宝之一。它的凄美不仅描绘出阿炳自己的生活，而且也让人们回想起自身的悲 苦体验和
最深的伤痛。

time. We don’t like to
rush around, so we
don’t mind if people are a little late
sometimes. If you tell a friend you’re
going to their house for dinner, it’s OK
if you arrive a bit late. We like to enjoy
our time slowly. We value the time we
spend with our family and friends in
our everyday lives. We often just drop
by our friends’ homes if we have time.
We don’t usually have to make plans
to meet our friends. When we see
each other, it’s polite for boys to shake
hands and for girls to kiss each other
on the side of the face. We often just
walk around the town center, seeing as
many of our friends as we can!

我们珍惜平日生活中和家人、朋友在一起

我们通常会在小镇中心四处走走，尽可能多地与更多朋友会面！

of clocks and watches, after all! If
We’re the capital
someone invites you to meet him or
her at noon, then you’re expected to be
there at noon. If you’re even 15 minutes
late, your friend may get mad. So I
make an effort to be on time when I
meet my friends. I always leave the
house early to avoid heavy traffic. I
don’t mind because I think it’s impolite
to keep others waiting. Also, we
never visit a friend’s house without
calling first. We almost always make
plans to see friends. We usually plan
to do something interesting, or go
somewhere together.

我总是早早出门以避开拥堵交通，因为我认为

Dear Laura,
Thanks for your message. Yes, I’mhaving a great time on my student exchange program in France. I was
a bit nervous before I arrived here but there was no reason to be. My host family is really nice. They go out
of their way to make me feel at home. The grandmother knows that I miss Chinese food a lot. So she actually
learned how to make Chinese food! She also has a teenage granddaughter about my age. She’s really kind
and she always talks to me in French to help me practice. You wouldn’t believe how quickly my French has
improved because of that. I’m very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes,
it doesn’t worry me like it used to. 亲爱的劳拉：
谢谢你的来信.是的,我非常享受这次的法国交换 项目,而且过的很好,甚至比我想象中的还要好.我在到达
之前还有点紧张,但是事实证明这是毫无必要 的.我所在的寄宿家庭非常好,他们想尽办法让我体验到家的感
觉.你可能不相信,但我的法语提高得非 常快.我现在能够非常自如的说法语.尽管还是会犯很多错误,但这并不
像过去那般困扰我了.
My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are
very different from the way they are at home. For example, you’re not supposed to put your bread on your
plate. You’re supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I’m used to it.
Another example is that you’re not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit.
You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Another thing is it’s impolite to say that you’re full. If you don’t
want any more food, you should just say, “That was delicious.”Also, you’re not supposed to put your elbows
on the table. I have to say that I find it difficult to
remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to it. I don’t find French customs so strange anymore.
我现在面临的最大挑战就是如何适应国外的餐桌文化.你可以想象得到,这边的情况 与家里的有很大的区别.
例如,不应该把面包放在盘子里,应该放在桌面上.你的手应该由始至终放在桌 上,但不要把胳膊肘放上去.不得
不承认,要记住这些条条框框很难,但是我会慢慢习惯的,也会慢慢适 应的.我发现法国的习俗不再是如此奇怪
了。
I’ll write again soon and tell you more about my life in France. Hope you’re having a good school
year. 我会尽快给你写信,告诉你我在这边的生活情况.希望你能度过一个很好的学年.












Unit 11 Sad movies made me cry.
Section A 3a
How to Be Happy快乐者的衬衫！（1）
A long time ago, in a rich and peaceful country,there lived an unhappy king. He slept badly and
didn’t feel like eating. His face was always pale aschalk. He often cried for no reason. This made
the queen and his people worried.很久以前，在一个 富饶而又美丽的国家里，住着一位不开心的国王。他睡不
好觉，也没有食欲。他总是面色苍白，还常常无 端哭泣。这让往后和他的子民都很担心。

One day, a doctor was called in to examine the king. But he found nothing wrong with his body. “It’s all in his
mind. Neither medicine nor rest can help him. What he needs is the shirt of a happy person to wear. That’ll make
him happy.” 一天，一位医生被招来给国王检查 身体。但他发现国王的身体并没有任何的问题。“他的病都在
心里。药物和休息对他都无效。他需要的是 一个快乐的人所穿的衬衫，那会使他快乐起来。”
The prime minister was called to the palace. But when they explained the king’s situation to him, he said,
“Although I have a lot of power, it doesn’t make me happy. I’m always worried about losing my power. Many
people are trying to take my position.” 首相被叫到宫殿，但当人们把国王的情况向他解释后，他却说：“尽管
我有很多 权利，但他并没有让我快乐。我总是担心会失去权力。有许多人都在试图取代我的位置。”
11

Then, the king’s banker came to the palace. “Oh, I’m afraid I’m not happy either,” he said. I have a lot of
wealth, but I’m always worried about losing my money. Someone tries to steal my money every
day.” 接着，国王的银行家来到宫殿，“唉，我 恐怕也不快乐呢，”他说：“我有很多财富，但是我总是担心丢
失钱财。每天都有人想窃取我的金钱。”
Next, the palace singer came to the king’s room. But this is what he said: “It’s true that I’m famous and
everyone loves my songs. But I’m not happy because I’m always worried about being followed by others. I cannot
be free!” 接下来，宫殿的歌手来到国王的房间，但是他却这样说：“的确我很有名，而且每个人都喜欢我
的歌。但 是我并不快乐，因为我总是担心被人跟踪，我没有自由。”
Finally, the king’s top general was told to go out and find a happy man in three days’ time. 最后，国王的大将
军被派出去，要他在三天之内找到一个快乐的人。



Section B,2b
The Winning Team胜利之队
Peter kept his eyes on the ground and felt a heavy weight on his shoulders as he walked home alone. It was
the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago on the
school soccer field. How could he have missed scoring that goal? He had let his whole team down. His stupid
mistake made him angry. His team lost the game because of him. He was really worried that his coach may kick
him off the team. 彼得的眼睛盯着地面，当他一 个人独自走在回家路上的时候，觉得双肩沉重。今天是他人
生中最糟糕的日子。他脑海里总停不住想一个 小时以前学校足球场上发生的事。他怎么错过了进球呢？他
让全队都失望了。他愚蠢的错误使他生气。整 个球队因为他而输掉了比赛。他还担心教练会把他赶出球队。
As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, “What’s wrong, son?” Peter’s feelings were written all
over his face. “I lost the game,” Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another word. Ten minutes later,
Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in. 他一走进家门，他爸爸就
问：“怎么了，儿子？” 彼得的情绪都写在脸上。“我比赛输了。”彼得回答。然后，他不再说话走进了自己的
卧室。十分钟后， 彼得听见爸爸在敲卧室门，他打开房门让爸爸进来。
“Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened. But whatever it was, don’t be too hard on yourself.”“彼得，你来看，
我不知道发生了什么。但不管结果怎样，不要对自己太苛刻。”
“I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They’ll probably never let me play again.”“我输球了，爸爸，我导致了
球队的失败。很可能他们再也不会让我踢球了。”
“Soccer is about team effort. You’re not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should
support each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to communicate
with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.”足球是靠团队的 集体努力，”你不是导致球队失利的唯一
原因。如果你们是一只优秀的球队，你们应该互相支持。此外， 输赢只是比赛的一半。另一半是学会怎样
和队友合作，怎么样从错误中吸取教训。”
Peter didn’t say anything but what his father said made him think carefully. 彼得没说什么，但是爸爸的话使
他陷入了沉思。
The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with courage rather than fear in his heart.
“Hey, guys,” he said to his teammates. “I’m really sorry about yesterday. We were so close to winning
that game. But I think if we continue to pull together, we’re going to win the next one.”第二天，彼得并没有害怕，
而 是勇敢地去参加了足球训练。“嗨，伙伴们，”他对队友说：“我对昨天的失误非常抱歉，我们差点就赢了。但我想只要我们继续团结一致，我们就会赢得下一场比赛。”
To his surprise and relief, his teammates all nodded in agreement. 出乎意料而又让他欣慰的是，他的队友都
赞同地点了头。
“Yeah,” they said, “don’t worry about it. It’s never just one person’s fault. We should think about how we
can do better next time.” “是的，”他们 说：“别担心了，失败绝不是一个人的错误。我们应该考虑的是下一次
我们怎么能做得更好。”

Peter smiled. It made him feel lucky to know that he was on a winning team.彼得笑了。他为自己属于一
个奔向胜利的球队感到庆幸。
