Betty: OK, come in and sit down!

Daming: What's happening?

Lingling: We're having a meeting.

Daming: That's news to me! I'm doing my homework. What's it about?

Lingling: The school magazine.

Daming: What school magazine?

Betty: Right, listen up, everyone. Did anyone watch television yesterday evening? Did you see the interview with Becky Wang?

Lingling: She sings with the band Crazy Feet. She's my favourite singer.

Tony: Yes, I saw it. She went to our school!

Betty: Well, she started a school magazine called New Standard when she was a pupil here. So why don't we start a school magazine, too? I've written down some ideas. We'll write a diary of school events, and tell everyone about the school concert and the dance club.

Tony: And school basketball matches.

Lingling: But who will write the articles?

Betty: We'll write the articles. Any more ideas?

Tony: I know! I'll do some reviews about our favourite bands and movies!

Lingling: And I'll do an interview with Becky Wang!

Betty: Brilliant! Anyone else?

Daming: How about "Homework Help"?

Tony: Yes, some ideas on how to get good grades!

Lingling: What's your homework, Daming?

Daming: I'm writing a composition called "What is a wonder of the world?" I'm reading about the ancient pyramids in Egypt.

Betty: "Homework Help". I think that's a fantastic idea, Daming.

The Greatest Wonder of the Natural World

When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.

After about a kilometre, a stranger appeared in front of me. "Am I going the right way?" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes," he replied, "you'll get there in five minutes." Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.

Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.

I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometres below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won't reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It's 20 kilometres, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance ... over 400 kilometres long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It's huge!

That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question. It's not "How deep is it?" or "How wide is it?" or "How long is it?" but "Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?" I know the answer. But what do you think?

Module 2 Unit 1

Listen and read.

Mr Jackson:Hello, Betty. What's up? What are you doing in the library?

Betty:I was looking for some old copies of the school magazine. If I've got it right, it was called New Standard.

Mr Jackson:That's right. As far as I remember, it was started by Becky Wang. We don't have a school magazine any more. It's a pity.

Betty:Well, I'm thinking about starting it again.

Mr Jackson:Sounds like a good idea! Go on.

Betty:I was also looking for something by Confucius and by Shakespeare. Mr Jackson:Really? That's a bit difficult for the school magazine.

Betty:Well, I'd like a monthly article called "Great Books"—you know, someone reads a favourite work of literature and writes an article about it.

Mr Jackson:I see. Confucius' works are still read by many people today, and we're still influenced by his thoughts. And Shakespeare's plays are seen by millions of people every year. But how about an American writer, Mark Twain, for example?

Betty:I don't know. Mark Twain was an important writer, but he isn't known as a great thinker like Confucius.

Mr Jackson:No, but his books are still popular. In fact, he wrote my favourite book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Perhaps that's what makes "Great Books"—they're still read today.

Betty:So why don't you write the first article on "Great Books"? Module 2 Unit 2

Read the passage and check your answers to the following questions.

1.What did Betty suggest at the end of the conversation in Unit 1?

2.What book did Mr Jackson choose?

3.What do you think happens in the book?

4.What do you think are the main ideas of the book?

Great Books

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Here is our monthly article on a favourite great book. This month, our guest writer is Mr Jackson.

My favourite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg, Missouri. He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of gold.

My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive.

Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.

The theme of the story are to do with children growing up and becoming more serious. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.

Why do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it's only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it's thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on—read it! I know you'll enjoy it, too.

Module 3 Unit 1

Listen and read.

Lingling:Hi, Tony. You look tired.

Tony:Yes. I'm training with BIG, the Beijing International Globetrotters, for the School's Basketball

Competition. It's the big match next week.

Betty:Who's it against?

Daming:HAS.

Lingling:What does HAS stand for?

Tony:Haidian All Stars.

Betty:Oh, yes. You were defeated last time.

Lingling:What was the score?

Betty:All Stars 98 points to Globetrotters 52. So when will the match be held? Daming:Next Saturday. Are you coming?

Betty:Yes. It's going to be a tough match. I'm going to write a report for New Standard. Lingling:I agree. Are you in the team, Daming?

Daming:No, I wasn't chosen this time. Why are you smiling, Betty?

Betty:Well, I've seen HAS play several times this season, and they're brilliant! And if you want my opinion ...

Tony:No, I don't ...

Betty:... you've got no chance! What do you reckon, Lingling?

Lingling:I think you're right, Betty.

Daming:Well, you won't be allowed to watch with our fans if that's what you think! Betty:It's true, Daming.

Tony:Well, I don't agree. We're playing really well this season. I think we're so good that we'll be asked to play in the Olympic Games.

Daming:Don't let them get to you, Tony! (They leave)

Lingling:Hee hee! Nice work, Betty!

Betty:Of course. They're so mad with us that they'll try harder to win, just to show we're wrong!

Module 3 Unit 2

Read the passage and choose the sentence which best expresses the main idea.

Liu Xiang—Trained for Gold

Sports Yearbook 2004

For Liu Xiang, life as a sporting hero has just begun. First of all, he'll be invited to competitions around the world. He'll be chosen to represent China at the Olympic Games. He's a symbol of China's international sporting success.

And now that he's well known all over the world, Liu Xiang will also be asked to appear in advertisements and films, and even to record music. But his coach Sun Haiping is making sure that he trains regularly. Liu Xiang will be advised by his coach on how to be a great sportsman, and by his manager on how to be a star.

Liu Xiang is not an overnight success. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July, 1983 and, like many Olympic sports stars, he started training when he was very young. In Grade Four, he went to the Junior Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train as a high jumper. Then, in 1998, his skill at hurdling was noticed by his coach Sun Haiping.

Liu Xiang was helped by a special programme. It was set up in 2001 to help young sportsmen and sportswomen. Liu's races were recorded, and his performance was compared with the world's best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change Liu's training programme. In 2002 he won his first international 110m hurdles event in Switzerland, and in the same year, a gold medal at the Asian Games in Korea. In 2004, Liu won the first Olympic gold medal in the same event for China in Athens, Greece.

So what's next for Liu Xiang? Has he found out that there's more to life than training? Will he be encouraged to spend more time away from sport?

No, Liu Xiang will go for more medals for China because he was trained for gold!

Liu Xiang ____.

was helped by his sports school to become a gold medal winner

has trained for many years, and will continue to win medals

will be encouraged to be a star and not a sporting hero

Module 4 Unit 1

Listen and read.

Tony:Dad, can I ask a favour? Can I borrow your digital camera?

Tony's dad:Why?

Tony:I'd like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week.

Tony's dad:Is this for your school magazine? Has it been published yet?

Tony:Yes, two issues have been published. But it's going to be an online magazine from now on. Tony's dad:What's wrong with an ordinary magazine?

Tony:Do you mean using paper? It's too expensive. If the magazine is online, paper won't be needed. That's an important advantage. It'll be published on the school website, and it can be read on screen.

Tony's dad:Well, that makes me think. Paper and printing have been used for ages. We once got information from books, but now the same information can be read or even listened to on computers.

Tony:I wonder ... Can books be replaced by computers? Maybe I'll write something for the magazine! Anyway, about the camera ...?

Tony's dad:Here it is. The battery hasn't been charged for a couple of months. It's been turned off since your mum's birthday party.

Tony:It doesn't matter. I'll see to that.

Tony's dad:But you must promise that it won't be lent to anyone, and it won't be left at school! Just look after it. Is that clear?

If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of the each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still wouldn’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It’s about fifteen miles, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away, about 277 miles long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It’s huge! I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself, “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?” I certainly know the answer. But what do you think? Module 2 Thanksgiving is an American festival. People give thanks for their food. It’s celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November and it’s a time for a special dinner among family and friends. We’ve celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn, catch fish and keep cows, sheep and hens. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food. We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is the most crowded room in our house because we all help to prepare the food there. We lay the table, then before we begin dinner, my father gives praise for the food, so we remember where the festival comes from. We usually eat too much, but it’s only once a year! We often listen to speeches and tell stories after dinner as well. When it’s all over everyone helps wash the dishes.

Now she’s not shy anymore and lovessinging in front of crowds. I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel andmeetne w people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do.And I don’t have much private time anymore.Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.” What does Candy have to say to all those young peoplewhowant to become famous? “Well,” she b egins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine howdifficultthe road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed.

Betty: Now, who'd like to call first? Unit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big. A great wonder of the natural world When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east-- the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.

Module 1 When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see. After about a mile, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,”he replied. “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it. Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was looking across the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world. I looked down to the Colorado River, from here a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of the each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still wouldn’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It’s about fifteen miles, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away, about 277 miles long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It’s huge! I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself, “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?”I certainly know the answer. But what do you think? Module 2 Thanksgiving is an American festival. People give thanks for their food. It’s celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November and it’s a time for a special dinner among family and friends. We’ve celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn, catch fish and keep cows, sheep and hens. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food. We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is the most crowded room in our house because we all help to prepare the food there. We lay the table, then before we begin dinner, my father gives praise for the food, so we remember where the festival comes from. We usually eat too much, but it’s only once a year! We often listen to speeches and tell stories after dinner as well. When it’s all over everyone helps wash the dishes. The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. After we finish the Thanksgiving Day festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, along with thousands of people as it goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy’s Store. Thanksgiving is also the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.
