to try a piece?

fresh. It smells too strong and it tastes
a
bit sour.

are done now. Have a try!
Daming: Thanks!
They taste really sweet and they feel soft in the
middle.
Tony: Are you cooking lots of
different things? You look very busy!
Betty:
Yes, I am! There’s some pizza and some cookies,
and now I’m making an apple pie.
Daming:
Apple pie sounds nice. I have a sweet tooth, you
know. Shall I get the sugar?
Betty: Yes,
please. Oh, are you sure that’s sugar? Taste it
first. It might be salt.
Daming: No, it’s OK.
It tastes sweet. It’s sugar. Tony: What’s this?
It tastes sweet too.

jam, for the cake.

FROM: Sally
TO: Lingling
SUBJECT: Re : Welcome to China
Hi
Lingling,
1. Thanks for your last
message, It was great to hear from you, and I
can’t wait to meet you.
2. I hope you will
know me from my photo when I arrive at the
airport. I’m quite tall, with short fair hair, and
I
wear glasses. I’ll wear jeans and a T-shirt
for the journey, but I’ll also carry my warm coat.
I’ve got your photo
---- you look very
pretty, so I’m sure we’ll find each other!
3.
Thanks for telling me about your hobbies. You
sound just like me! I spend a lot of time playing
classical music
with my friends at school, but
I also like dance music – I love dancing! I enjoy
sports as well, especially tennis.
My brother
is in the school tennis team – I’m very proud of
him! He’s good at everything, but I’m not.
Sometimes I get bad marks at school, and I
feel sad. I should work harder.
4. You asked
me, “How do you feel about coming to China?” Well,
I often feel a bit sad at first when I leave my
mum and dad for a few days, and I’m quite shy
when I’m with strangers. I feel nervous when I
speak Chinese,
but I’ll be fine in a few
days. I’m always sorry when I don’t know how to do
things in the right way, so please
help me
when I’m with you in China! Oh, I’m afraid of
flying. But I can’t tell you how excited I am
about
going to China!
See you next
week!
Love,
Sally

Lingling: I’m entering a competition.
Tony: What kind of competition?
Lingling:
A speaking competition.
Tony: Great. It’ll
help you improve your speaking. And maybe you will
win a prize.
Lingling: The first prize is “My
dream holiday”.
Tony: Have you ever won any
prizes before?
Lingling: No, I
haven’t. I’ve always wanted to go on a dream
holiday. But I can’t afford it. The plane tickets
are
too expensive.
Tony: Well, good
luck! I’ve also entered lots of speaking
competitions, but haven’t won any prizes. I’ve
stopped
trying now.
Lingling: Look!
Here’s a writing competition. Around the World in
80 Days. To win it, you need to write a short
story about a place you’ve visited.
Tony:
That sounds wonderful, but I’ve never travelled a
lot. How can I write about it?
Lingling:
Don’t worry. It doesn’t need to be true! You can
make it up.
Tony: That’s interesting, I’ll
try. I hope I will win, then I will invite you to
come with me.
Lingling: Sorry! The first
prize is only the book called Around the World in

Unit
2 They have seen the Pyramids.
Mike
Robinson is a fifteen–year-old American boy and
his sister Clare is fourteen. At the moment, Mike
and
Clare are in Cairo in Egypt, one of the
biggest and busiest cites in Africa.
They
moved here with their parents two years ago. Their
father, Peter, works for a very big company. The
company has offices in many countries, and it
has sent Peter to work in Germany, France and
China before. Peter
usually stays in a country
for about two years. Then the company moves him
again. His family always goes with
him.
The Robinsons love seeing the world. They have
been to many interesting places. For example, in
Egypt,
they have seen the Pyramids, travelled
on a boat on the Nile River, and visited the
palaces and towers of ancient
kings and
queens.
Mike and Clare have also begun to
learn the language of the country, Arabic. This
language is different from
English in many
ways, and they find it hard to spell and pronounce
the words. However, they still enjoy learning
it. So far they have learnt to speak German,
French, Chinese and Arabic. Sometimes they mix the
languages. “It’s
really fun,” said Clare.
The Robinsons are moving again. The company
has asked Peter to work back in the US. Mike and
Clare are
happy about this. They have friends
all over the world, but they also miss their
friends in the US. They are
counting down the
days.

Module 3 Journey to space
Unit 1 Has it arrived yet ?
Daming:
Hi, Tony. What are you up to?
Tony: Hi,
Daming. I’ve just made a model spaceship for our
school project.
Daming: I haven’t started
yet, because I’m not sure how to make it. Can you
help me?
Tony: Sure, no problem. Have you
heard the lasted news? Scientists have sent a
spaceship to Mars. The journey
has taken
several months. Daming: Has it arrived yet?
Tony: Yes, it has arrived already. That’s why
it’s on the news.
Daming: So have they
discovered life on Mars?
Tony: No, they
haven’t yet.
Daming: Are there any astronauts
in the spaceship?
Tony: No, there aren’t.
Daming: Why? Astronauts have already been to
the moon.
Tony: Yes, but no one has been to
Mars yet, because Mars is very far away, much
farther than the moon. Lots of
scientists are
working hard in order to send astronauts to Mars
one day.
Daming: That’s interesting! How can
I get information on space travel?
Tony: You
can go online to search for the information.
Daming: I will. Thank you, Tony!

4. No one
has been to Mars yet, because Mars is very far

Unit 2 We have not found life on any other
planets yet.
Scientists think that there
has been life on earth for hundreds of millions of
years. However, we have not found
life on any
other planets yet.
The earth is a planet and
it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also
go around the sun. None of them has
an
environment like that of the earth, so scientists
do not think they will find life on them. The sun
and its planets
are called the solar system,
and our solar system is a small part of a much
larger group of stars and planets, called
the
Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of
stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of
them.
Scientists have also discovered many
other galaxies in the universe. They are very far
away and their light has
to travel for many
years to reach us. So how large is the universe?
It is impossible to imagine.
Scientists have
sent spaceships to the plant of Mars to take
photos. They even have sent spaceships to travel
outside the solar system. However, no
spaceship has travelled far enough to reach near
other stars in our Galaxy.
Scientists have
always asked the question: With so many stars in
the universe, are we alone, or is there life out
there in space? Have there been visitors to
the earth from other planets? Why has no one
communicated with us?
We do not know the
answers…yet.

1. Have we
found life on any other planets?

Module 4 Seeing the doctor
Unit

you been like this?
Daming: Since Friday.
I’ve been ill for about three days!
Doctor: I
see. Have you caught a cold?
Daming: I don’t

food do you eat?
Daming: Usually fast food.
Doctor: Do you have breakfast?
Daming:
No, not usually.
Doctor: That’s the problem!
Fast food and no breakfast. That’s why you’ve got
a stomachache.
Daming: What about the
headache?
Doctor: Do you do any exercise?
Daming: Not really. I haven’t done much
exercise since I got my computer last year.
Dcotor: You spend too much time in front of
the computer. It can be very harmful to your
health.
Daming: OK, so what should I do?
Doctor: Well, don’t worry. It’s not serious.
First, stop eating fast food and have breakfast
every day. Second, get
some exercise, such as
running. And I’ll give you some medicine. Take it
three times a day.

Healthy living
1. I was not feeling very well so the
doctor checked my heart and said I needed more
exercise. I have never been
very active, and
I do not like sports. I have always wanted a pet,
so my parents gave me a dog for my birthday.
Now I get exercise by taking him for a walk
every day. I have had him for three months now and
I feel really
healthy. ----Anna
2. Our
teacher decided to start a girl’s football team
and I thought, “What a great idea!” I was the
first member of
the team. We have played
football for a year now and we all feel very fit.
Our teacher is the coach, and she also
takes
part in the same training with us. She is in
excellent condition too. ---- Wang Wei
3.
For the last few years, I went to work by
underground. When I got to work, I always felt
very sleepy and I was
not happy. I bought a
bike in January. Science then, it has become part
of my life. Now I ride to wok every day.
It is my daily exercise. I arrive at
work with a smile on my face. ---- Thomas
4. I was weak after a long illness, so I
wanted to exercise more. Then a friend suggested,
“Why don’t we go for a
run before school?” So
we started running a week ago. But I do not enjoy
running, and when I get to school, I
feel
awful. My legs hurt and I am hot all over. Perhaps
I am too weak to do any exercise. What do you
think?
----Richard

Module 5
Cartoons
Unit 1 It’s time to watch a
cartoon.
Tony: Daming, we’ve finished
our homework. It’s time to watch a cartoon.
Daming: Good idea, Tony. Let’s watch Superman!
Tony: We watched Superman yesterday. Why don’t
we watch Spiderman? It’s more modern.
Daming:
I think Superman is better. He’s stronger than
Spiderman. He can fly through the sky and fight
bad
people.
Tony: Spiderman can’t fly,
but he climbs up buildings with his hands and
feet. That’s cool. I want to be someone
like
him.
Daming: Well, Superman is brave. He
keeps fighting bad people. That’s a real hero!
Tony: I don’t think we agree.
Daming: All
right. Let’s watch Tom and Jerry then.
Tony:
Yeah! I like humorous cartoons. Tom and Jerry are
very funny. I can’t help laughing when I watch
them.
Daming: Yes, Jerry is too smart for
Tom.
Tony: The cut mouse always beats the
cat! They fight a lot, but they really love each
other. Sometimes they
protect each other and
work together. I think there’s lesson there!
Unit 2 Tintin has been popular for over eighty
years
Cartoon heroes
Nemo is a cute orange-and-white fish and Shrek
is an ugly green animal. They look very different,
but both of
them have won the hearts of young
people all over the world. The pictures of these
popular cartoon heroes are
everywhere, on
office desks, handbags, and computer screens.
There are also some older cartoon favourites,
for example, the Monkey King. He is the hero of a
story called
Havoc in Heaven. He leads a
group of monkeys against the Emperor of Heaven and
his guards. He is brave, clever
and humorous.
Parents and children laugh together as Monkey King
makes a terrible mess in heaven. They
always
expect to see more Monkey King cartoons.
Tintin is another favourite cartoon hero. He
has been popular for over eighty years, ever since
the artist
invented him in 1929. Tintin has
red hair and a small white dog. He works for a
newpaper and has lots of
exciting
experiences. Fans have bought about 200 million
copies of Tintin’s stories in more than fifty
languages.
Tintin appeared in China in the
1980s. Many Chinese still collect these black-and-
white Tintin books.
Finally, Snoopy, a cute
dog, celebrated his 60th birthday in lives in his
own private world and
finds real life hard to
understand. Charles Schulz created Snoopy and his
friends, and drew the cartoons to satisfy
older people as well as children.
Module 6 Hobbies
Unit 1 Do you
collect anything?
Lingling: Hi,
everything! Come in and find somewhere to sit
down. Sorry, it’s a bit of mess. I’ll put the fans
on the
shelf.
Betty: Let me have
a look. You’ve got so many fans.
Lingling:
Yes, about sixty.
Betty: Where did you
get them?
Lingling: Most of them are
presents. People often give me fans as presents
because they know I like them. Do you
collect anything?
Betty: Yes, I collect
coins and notes, you know, like British pounds and
US dollars and cents.
Lingling: Coins? They
must be really valuable. Can I see them?
Betty: Sure! I’ll show you my stamps too. I’ve
collected stamps from all over the world. I’ve got
six or seven
books of stamps.
Tony: My
hobby doesn’t cost as much as yours — I collect
tickets, bus tickets and train tickets!
Betty: You can’t do anything with old tickets!
Tony: I know, but when I look at them, I
remember some wonderful places.
Lingling:
Right! Their value isn’t very important. People
usually collect things just to remember something
important in their lives.

Unit 2
Hobbies can make you grow as a person.
David’s hobbies
Many students have
hobbies, such as reading, painting, growing
vegetables and looking after animals. Some
hobbies are relaxing and others are active.
Hobbies can make you grow as a person, develop
your interests and
help you learn new skills.
David Smith is a student, and one of his
hobbies is writing. During the summer of 2010, he
spent four weeks
at a summer camp. As well as
the usual activities, such as sailing and
climbing, there was a writing class. ― The
teacher is a writer, and she asked us to talk
about our lives and tell interesting stories. Then
she encouraged us to
write about our
experiences at the camp.
Back at school, David
wrote a story about the life of a sixteen–year–old
boy, and it came out as a book in
2012. Many
young people love his book, and as a result, David
has become a successful young writer.
David
has been very lucky because his hobby has brought
him pleasure and success, but writing is not his
only
hobby. He is also interested in many other
things. “I like playing volleyball too,” says
David. “I spend some of my
free time playing
volleyball for my school team. Maybe I’ll write
about my volleyball team in my future books.”

things for my trip. I like to get things ready
earlier. Can you help me?

Lingling: Well, it sounds crazy
but I don’

That’s a good idea. But remember, many things are
more expensive in America. Have you got any
American dollars?
Lingling: Yes. Is 200
dollars enough?
Betty: If you’ve already paid
for the air tickets and for homestay, it should be
OK.
Lingling: What else?
Betty: You bag
mustn’t weigh too much. You’d better ask the
travel company about the total weight for all your
bags. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to take
your passport.
Lingling: OK. Thank you.
Betty: You’re welcome. You’ll have a great
time. Please write to me and send me some photos!

Module 8 Time off
Unit 1 I can hardly
believe we’re in the city centre
Lingling: Here we are. Welcome to Beihai Park.
Tony:Wow! It’s so quiet that I can even hear
the birds singing! I can hardly believe we're in
the city centre.
Lingling: This park is
famous for its lake, the bridge and the ancient
buildings on the hill. The lake takes up over
half of the park area. Let's walk along the
lake,cross the bridge and climb up the hill. Then
I can point
out the sights of Beijing for
you.
Tony: Yes, good idea. I'm sure it'll be
fantastic to see the city from the top.
Daming: But I'm so tired, and it's so hot
here. I don't want to climb. The lake looks nice
and cool. Why don't we
go for a swim?
Lingling: I don't think they allow people to
swim in the lake. It's dangerous.
Daming:
That's too bad. Then why don't we have our picnic

Unit 2 We thought

From:Betty
To: Mum and dad
SUBJECT: Wonderful time
in Zhangjiajie
Dear Mum and Dad,
I promised to write, so...
We’re
staying with Lingling’s uncle in Hunan Province,
and I’m having a wonderful time here in
Zhangjiajie. It’s
a magic land of mountains,
forests and rivers. It's very large, about 480
square kilometres. It’s famous for the stran
ge
shape of its tall rocks. Some of them look like
humans, and others look like wild animals.
Last night we camped by a small lake. During
the night, we heard some noise! It woke everyone
up. We thought
somebody was moving about.
Lingling's uncle said it was an animal. We came
out without making any noise, and
found it was
just a hungry monkey looking for food.
This morning, we climbed Mount Tianzi! From
the top we hoped to see the lakes and forests. But
it was a pity that
it was cloudy. We could
only see the mountain tops above the clouds. Then
we walked down the path, along a
river, past
trees and other plants and back to the camp. I
pulled a leaf off a plant, but Lingling’s uncle
said that it
was wrong to pull leaves off
plants and that we should protect everything here.
I was very sorry.
Tomorrow we’re going
to Dongting Lake, the second largest freshwater
lake in ’ll to back home next
week! Wish you
were here!
Love,
Betty

Module 9 Friendship
Unit 1 Could I
ask if you’ve mentioned this to her?
Helpline: Hello, friendship helpline. Who's
calling, please?
Lingling: Hello. This is
Lingling speaking.
Helpline: Hi, Lingling!
How can I help you?
Lingling: I have a
problem with my best friend. She is called...
Helpline: No,don't tell me who she is. Tell me
when the problem started.
Lingling: Yes.
Well, we've been friends for five years. We got
separated when we went to different schools last
term, but we stayed in touch.
Helpline:
So could you explain what happened then?
Lingling: This term, she came to study at my
school. I was so happy at first. But she's so
different.
Helpline: Can you tell me how
she's different?
Lingling: She doesn't like
me to see my other friends. Helpline: Could I ask
if you've mentioned this to her?
Lingling:
Yes, but she refused to listen.
Helpline: OK,
do you know why she treats you like that?
Lingling: No. I don't know.
Helpline:
Maybe she doesn't feel very sure of herself in her
new school.
Lingling: Maybe.
Helpline:
She probably feels lonely without you. I'm sure
she regrets hurting you. So be patient with her
and
explain to her that she can make friends
with your other friends too. Try to introduce her
to them.
Lingling: I see. I'll encourage her
to join in more. Thanks.
Helpline: No
problem.
Lingling. You're welcome.

A beautiful smile
By Zhang Bei
When I was thirteen years old, a
girl gave me an important gift. It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a
new school. No one knew me. I was very lonely, and
afraid to
make friends with anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking
and laughing, I felt even more lonely. I could not
talk to anyone
about my problem, and I did
not want my parents to worry about me.
One
day, my classmates are talking with their friends,
but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl
entered the
classroom. I did not know who she
was. She passed me and then turned back. She
looked at me and, without a
word, smiled.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright
and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and
warm. It was like
a hidden treasure.
That
smile changed my life. I started to talk with the
other students. Day by Day, I learnt to trust
people, and
they included me in their circle
of friends. The girl with the bright smile has
become my best friend now, and we
stick
together like glue.
One day, I asked her why
she smiled at me that day. She said she could not
remember!
Now I believe that the world is
what you think it is. If you think you are lonely,
you might always be alone.
My suggestion is:
Smile at the world and it will smile back.

sports. Let’s watch the presenter.
Remember, I
said you need to keep quite if the red light is

that Germany has won the football match,2–1

Unit 2 It seemed that
they were speaking to me in person.
Radio
times
“How old are you?” The radio
studio manager looked down at me.
“Fifteen,”
I said.
“And you want a job in radio?
Shouldn’t you be at school?” he asked.
How could I explain? I’ve always loved
the radio. I still remember, when I was about four
years old, I sat
close to the radio in the
living room, listening to my favourite programmes,
and to the voices of my favourite
presenters.
It seemed that they were speaking not to lots of
listeners but to me in person. At the age of nine,
I
asked for part-time jobs in small radio
stations.
As I grew older, my interest in
radio grew. One day I learnt about Internet radio.
Once a week, I played my
favourite music from
my father’s computer, talked about life at school,
and hoped someone might be listening.
Soon my
friends at school started to listen, and then they
wanted to help. We prepared a programmes once a
week, doing research on articles about music,
sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did
this by looking out
of the window).
“OK,
come with me,” the manager said. I sat down in the
studio. He was in another room, behind a glass
wall.
“OK, let’s do a sound check. Just
tell me what you had for breakfast.”
All radio
presenters need to answer the same question before
they begin work. The purpose is to check the
sound level.
“I had eggs, fruit and some
milk.”
“OK, that’s great!” The man behind the
glass said.
This was how my first real job in
radio began.

1、
Thank you very much for taking me with
you on that splendid outing to London. It was the
first time that I had seen
the Tower or
any of the other famous sights. If I'd gone alone,
I couldn't have seen nearly as much, because I
wouldn't
have known my way weather was
splendid on that day, which I thought was rare. I
still remember some people
told me that
in Britain there was weather and no climate.
During the same day, it might snow in the morning,
