Crossing the river
to school
How do you get to school? Do you
walk or ride a bike? Do you go by bus or
by
train? For many students, it is easy to get to
school. But for the students in
one small
village in China, it is difficult. There is a very
big river between their
school and the
village. There is no bridge and the river runs too
quickly for
boats. So these students go on a
ropeway to cross the river to school.
One
11-year-old boy, Liangliang, crosses the river
every school day. But he is
not afraid because
he loves school. “I love to play with my
classmates. And I
love my teacher. He’s like a
father to me.” Many of the students and villagers
never leave the village. It is their dream to
have a bridge. Can their dream
come true?

Alice: Oh, and we also have to be quite in the
library.
Dear Dr. Know,
There are too many
rules! At 6:00 a.m., my mom says, “Get up now and
make
your bed!” After breakfast, my mom always
says, “Don’t leave the dirty dishes
in the
kitchen!” After that, I run to school because I
can’t be late. At school, we
have more
rules--- don’t be noisy, don’t eat in class, …
My dad says I can’t play basketball after
school because I must do my
homework. I can
play only on weekends. After dinner, I can’t relax
either. I
must read a book before I can watch
TV. But I have to go to bed before 10:00.
Rules, rules, rules! It’s terrible! What can I
do, Dr. Know?
Molly Brown, New York
Dear
Molly,
I know how you feel. People always
tells us, “Don’t do this!” or “You can’t do
that!” But think about it, Molly. There are a
lot of things you can do. You can
play
basketball on weekends. You can watch TV after you
read a book. Parents
and schools are sometimes
strict but remember, they make rules to help us.
We
have to follow them.

Hello. We are students from Thailand,
and we want to save the elephants. The
elephant is one of Thailand’s symbols. Our
first flag had a white elephant on it.
This is
a symbol of good luck.
Elephants are smart
animals. They can play soccer or music. They can
also
draw very well. People say that “an
elephant never forgets”. Elephants can
walk
for a long time and never gets lost. They can also
remember places with
food and water. This
helps them to live.
But elephants are in great
danger. People cut down many trees so elephants
are
losing their homes. People also kill
elephants for their ivory. Today there are
only about 3000 elephants (over 100,000
before). We must save the trees and
页眉内容
not buy things made of ivory.
Remember that March 13
th
is Thai Elephant
Day.

There is a zoo in my
neighborhood. I like to spend time there on
weekends. I
love to watch the monkeys climbing
around. The monkeys sometimes fight.
They look
like my friends and me when we fight!

Road. Then I walk
along Bridge Road. The zoo
is on the right.

I live near a
supermarket. My parents usually shop there. There
is a big park
across from the supermarket. I
often exercise at the park because I love the
clean air and sunshine. The best things in
life are free!
To get to the park, you just
have to cross Center Street.
Lisa
页眉内容
I live in a noisy
neighborhood. There is a post office between my
house and a
clothes store. But my favorite
place is the library. It is very quiet and I enjoy
reading there. When I read books, time goes
quickly!
You can get to the library easily.
Just go down North Road and turn left. It is
across from the park.

An interesting job
Joe Brown has a very
interesting job. He is a police artist. Some
people see
crimes and then talk to Joe. They
tell him what the criminal looks like. Then
Joe draws a picture of the criminal, and the
police put it in newspapers and on
television
to find him.
He wants to draw a good picture
of each criminal, but this job is sometimes
difficult. Many people don’t always see things
the same way so they may
describe the same
person differently. Also, they don’t always
remember well.
“The criminal is of medium
height and young. He has long straight brown hair
and big eyes,” says one woman. Another woman
says, “He is tall and thin, and
页眉内容
he has curly blond hair. He’s about thirty
years old.” In the end, the real
criminal is a
short and heavy old man, and he has short black
hair!
Unit 10 I’d like some noodles
Waitress: Good afternoon. May I take your
order?
Sally: Yes. Are there any vegetables in
the beef soup?
Waitress: Yes. There are some
tomatoes.
Sally: OK. We’d like one bowl of
beef soup.
Waitress: Sure. What size would you
like?
Sally: Large, please.
Tom: We’d also
like gongbao chicken and some mapo tofu with rice.
Waitress: OK. One large bowl of beef soup, one
gongbao chicken, and one
mapo tofu with rice.
Tom: Yes, that’s right.
Birthday food
around the world
What would people like to eat
on their birthday? The answer would be
different in different countries.
In many
countries, people have birthday cakes with
candles. The number of
candles is the person’s
age. The birthday person must make a wish and blow
out the candles. If he or she blows out all
the candles in one go, the wish will
come
true. In the UK, people sometimes put a candy in a
birthday cake. The
child with the candy is
lucky.
In China, it is getting popular to have
cake on your birthday. But many people
still
eat very long noodles are symbol of long life. In
some places, Chinese
people also eat eggs on
their birthday. They are a symbol of life and good
luck.
页眉内容
All of these birthday
foods may be different, but the ideas are the
same. They
bring good luck to the birthday
person.
Unit 11 How was your school trip?
Peter: Hi, Eric. How was your trip last week?
Eric: It was excellent. I visited my
grandparents in the countryside.
Peter: Oh,
nice. What did you do?
Eric: I went fishing
every day. And I fed the chickens with my grandpa.
It was
so much fun.
Peter: Sounds good.
How was the weather there?
Eric: It was great,
and the air was so clean. I watched the stars at
night. They
were so beautiful.
Peter:
Lucky you.
June 15
th
Today I went
on a school trip. We visited the science museum
and it was really
interesting. We got there so
fast by train. We saw some farms and villages
along the way. At the museum, I learned a lot
about robots. I didn’t know they
could play
chess with us. It was so cool! Then the guide
taught us how to make
a model robot. I took a
lot of great photos, too. After that, I went to
the gift
shop and bought some lovely gifts for
my parents. They weren’t expensive. All
in
all, it was an exciting day.
June 15
th
I think today’s school trip was terrible. We
took the train to the museum. It was
so hot on
the slow train. The museum was big and boring.
Everything was
about robots and I’m not
interested in that. The rooms were really dark and
it
was difficult to take photos, so I didn’t
take any. There were also too many
页眉内容
people and I couldn’t really see or hear the
guide. The things in the gift shop
were so
expensive. I didn’t like the trip at all.
Unit
12 What did you do last weekend?
Paul: Hi,
Lisa. How was your weekend?
Lisa: Great,
thanks.
Paul: What did you do?
Lisa: I
worked as a guide at the Natural History Museum.
Paul: Really? How interesting!
Lisa: Yeah,
it was fun. They have a butterfly house with over
200 kinds of
butterflies! I told the visitors
about them and their living habits. Did you have a
good weekend?
Paul: Yeah, it was good, but
I’m kind of tired now. I stayed up late to watch
the
soccer game.
A weekend to remember
My sister finished high school two weeks ago.
As a special gift, our parents
took us to
India. Last weekend was interesting but scary.
We went camping in a small village in India.
First, we took a long bus ride to a
lake in
the countryside. There we put up our tents and
made a fire to keep us
warm and cook food on.
On the first night, we just sat under the moon and
told
each other stories. But I was so tired
that I went to sleep early.
The next morning,
my sister and I got terrible surprise. When we
looked out of
our tent, we saw a big snake
sleeping near the fire. I was so scared that I
couldn’t move. We shouted to our parents to
let them know about the danger.
My dad started
to jump up and down in their tent. This woke the
snake up and
it moved into the forest near the
lake. My dad told me later that snakes don’t
页眉内容
have ears but can feel things
moving. He also told me it was important not to
go near a snake. This was a very useful lesson
for me.
