1、Module 1 My First Day at Senior HighMy name is Li Kang.I live in Shijiazhuang, a city not far from Beijing.It is the capital city of Hebei Province.Today is my first day at Senior High school,and I'mwriting down my thoughts about it.My new school is very good and I can see why.The teachers are v

2、ery enthusiastic and friendly and theclassrooms are amazing.Every room has a computer with a special screen,almost asbig as a cinema screen.The teachers write on the computer,and their words appearon the screen behind them.The screens also show photographs text and informationfrom websites.They'

3、re brilliant!The English class is really interesting.The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms Shen.We're using a new textbook and Ms Shen's method ofteaching is nothing like that of the teachers at myJunior High school. She thinks that reading comprehensionis important,but we speak

4、 a lot in lass,too. And we havefun.I don't think I will be bored in Ms Shen's class!Today we introduced ourselves to each other.We did thisin groups.Some students were embarrassed at first ,but everyone wasvery friendly and it was really nice.Ms Shen gave us instructions and then we worked b

5、y ourselves.Ms Shen wants to help us improve our spelling and handwriting.We do this in a fun way, with spelling games and other activities.I like her attitude very much, and the behaviour of the other students shows that they like her,too.There are sixty-five students in my class - more than my pre

6、vious class in Junior High.Forty-nine of them are girls.In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys.They say that girls are usually more hard-working than boys,but in this class,everyone is hard-working. For our homework tonight,we have to write a description of the street where we l

7、ive.I'm looking forward to doing it!我在高中的第一天我叫李康。我住在離北京不遠的石家莊市。它是河北省的省會。今天是我上高中的第一天，我正在寫我今天的一些感受。我的新學校很不錯，我知道其原因所在：老師們非常熱情、友好，教室令人驚喜。每間教室都有一臺配特殊屏幕的電腦，其屏幕幾乎跟電影院的一樣大。老師在電腦前寫，所寫的字就出現(xiàn)在他們身后的屏幕上。屏幕還可以展示圖片，文章和網站上的信息。真是太棒了！ 英語課真是太有趣了。老師是一位很熱心的姓沈的女老師。我們用的是新教材，沈老師的教學方法和初中老師的完全不一樣她認為閱讀理解很重要，但我們在課堂上說得也很多。上課

8、大家都覺得很快樂。 我想在沈老師的課上我是不會感到厭倦的。今天我們以分組的形式相互做了自我介紹。 一些學生起初很不好意思，不過大家都很友善，這樣做感覺真好沈老師給我們一些指導，然后我們就自己操練起來。沈老師想幫助我們提高我們的拼寫和書寫。我們用有趣的拼寫游戲加上其他的活動來做。我很喜歡她的態(tài)度，而且其他同學的言行舉止表明他們也喜歡她。 我班有 65 名學生 - 比我以前初中的班級人數(shù)多。其中 49 人是女生。換句話說，女生人數(shù)是男生的3 倍。據(jù)說女生通常比男生更勤奮，但在我們班，人人都很勤奮。至于我們今晚的作業(yè)，我們得寫一篇描寫我們住的街道情況的文章。 我正盼著去做呢！Moudle 2 My

9、New TeachersThey say that first impressions are very important. My first impression of Mrs. Li was that she was nervous and shy. I think perhaps she was, as it was her first lesson with us. But now, after two weeks, the class really likes working with her. She's kind and patient, and she explain

10、s English grammar so clearly that even I can understand it! She avoids making you feel stupid! I've always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly when I speak English,but Mrs. Li just smiles, so that you don't feel completely stupid! I think maybe she goes a bit too slowly f

11、or the faster students, but for me it's wonderful! I feel I'm going to make progress with her.I'd guess that Mrs. Chen is almost sixty. She's verystrict we don't dare to say a word unless she asks usto. She's also very serious and doesn't smile much. Whenshe asks you to d

12、o something, you do it immediately!There are a few students in our class who keep coming toclass late but they're always on time for Mrs. Chen'slessons! Some of our class don't ike her, but most of usreally appreciate her because her teaching is so wellorganised and clear. And a few stud

13、ents even admit likingher! During scientific experiments, she explains exactlywhat is happening and as a result my work is improving.Physics will never be my favourite lesson, but I thinkthat I ll do well in the exam with Mrs Chen teaching me.Mr. Wu s only been teaching us for two weeks and he salre

14、ady very popular. I think this is because he reallyenjoys teaching Chinese literature he loves it, infact! He s got so much energy, this is one class you donot fall asleep in! He about 2 8,sI think, and israther good-looking. He talks loudly and fast, and waveshis hands about a lot when he gets exci

15、ted. He s reallyamusing and tells jokes when he thinks we re getting bored. Even things like compositions and summaries are fun with Mr. Wu. I respect him a lot.我的新老師們人們常說第一印象很重要。李老師給我留下的第一印象是既緊張又膽怯。我想，可能她就是這樣，因為這是她給我們上的第一節(jié)課。但是，過了兩周了，全班學生真的喜歡上她的課。她非常和藹，又有耐心，英語語法解釋得如此清楚，連我都能夠明白！她避免讓人感到愚笨！講英語時，我總是憎惡出錯

16、或者是憎惡發(fā)音不正確，但是，李老師只是笑一笑，因此，你不會感到完全愚笨！我想可能對于好學生來說她的課進行得有點慢，但對我來說，真是太棒了！我覺得我跟著她學習肯定將取得進步。我猜想陳老師幾乎快60 歲了。她很嚴格除非她讓我們講話，我們一句話也不敢說。她還很嚴肅，很少微笑。當她要求你做某事時，你就馬上去做！陳老師的課，我們班幾位不斷遲到的學生，總是準時上陳老師的課。我們班有的同學不喜歡她，但大多數(shù)同學都很欣賞她，因為她的課講得很清楚、教學組織得又好。一些學生甚至承認喜歡她！在做科學實驗時，她對發(fā)生的現(xiàn)象解釋得很準確，因此，我在實驗方面在取得進步。物理絕對不是我最喜歡的科目，但我想由陳老師教我，我會

17、考出好成績。 吳老師僅僅教過我們兩個禮拜，他已經很受歡迎了。我想這是因為他的確喜歡教中國文學。實際上，他喜愛中國文學！他精力是那樣充沛，上他的課，你不會想睡覺（不會感到困倦）！我想他大約28 歲，長得很帥。他講話語速快、聲音洪亮，當講到興奮的時候，不時揮手。他上課真很有趣，當他認為我們疲倦的時候，就給我們講笑話。即使是象作文和總結這樣的事情，吳老師也搞得很有趣。Module 3 My First Ride on a TrainMy name is Alice Thompson. I come from Sydney Australiaand I'm 18 years old.Recen

18、tly I had my first ride on a long-distance train.And what a ride.The train was wonderful and the food was great.We ate great meals cooked by experts.For the first few hundred kilometers of the journey, thescenery was very colourful.There were fields and the soil was dark red.After that, it was deser

19、t.The sun shone, there was no wind and there were no cloudsin the sky.Suddenly, it looked like a place from another time.We saw abandoned farms which were built more than ahundred years ago.The train was comfortable and the people were nice.During the day, I sat and looked out of the window, andsome

20、times talked to other passengers.I read books and listened to my Chinese cassettes.One night, at about midnight, I watched the night sky forabout an hour.The stars shone like diamonds.Why is the train called the Ghan?A long time ago, Australians needed a way to travel tothe middle of the country.The

21、y tried riding horses, but the horses didn't like the hot weather and sand.A hundred and fifty years ago, they brought some camels from Afghanistan.Ghan is short for Afghanistan.Camels were much better than horses for travelling a long distance.For many years, trained camels carried food and oth

22、ersupplies, and returned with wool and other products. TheAfghans and their camels did this until the 1920s.Then the government built a new railway line, so theydidn't need the camels any more.In 1925, they passed a law which allowed people to shootthe animals if they were a problem.In 1935, the

23、 police in a town shot 153 camels in one day.我的首次火車之旅我是愛麗絲湯普森。我來自澳大利亞的悉尼，今年18歲。 近來我進行了首次遠程火車之旅。真是太棒了! 我和一位朋友乘坐的是有名的阿富汗火車。我們在悉尼上車, 在澳大利亞中部的艾麗普林斯下車,行程四千多公里。整個旅程花費了我們兩天兩夜。 坐火車很舒服而且車上的食物也很可口。我們吃的美味飯菜是烹飪大師們做的。在旅程開始的幾百公里, 風景優(yōu)美。有成片的田野,那里的土壤是深紅色。接著是沙漠。艷陽高照,沒有風而且晴空萬里?？墒墙又?時空像是突然發(fā)生了轉變。映入眼簾的是建造于一百多年前一些廢棄的農莊。火車

24、很舒服而且車上的人也都很友好。白天,我坐著看窗外,有時和別的旅客說說話。我看書 , 聽著漢語錄音帶（我在學校學漢語）。一天晚上, 大約是在半夜,差不多有整整一個小時我都在注視著夜晚的天空。星星像鉆石一樣眨著眼。為什么火車叫阿富汗號？很久以前,澳大利亞人到國家中部地區(qū)有很長一段路程。他們試著騎馬,但那些馬不喜歡炎熱的天氣和沙漠。一百五十年前, 他們從阿富汗帶入了一些駱駝。Ghan 是阿富汗的縮寫。作長途旅行,駱駝比馬匹強多了。多年來 , 經過訓練的駱駝馱運食物及其他用品, 返回時還帶著羊毛和其他產品。直到二十世紀二十年代,阿富汗人和他們的駱駝還在做著這樣的工作。那時政府建了一條新的鐵路線,所以阿

25、富汗人不再需要駱駝了在 1925年 , 他們通過了法律,如果它們引發(fā)問題，允許人們射殺駱駝。在 1935 年 ,一個城鎮(zhèn)的警察僅一天就射殺153 頭駱駝。A lively cityXL ： It's great to see you again, John. JM： It's great tosee you! It's been six years since we last saw eachother, you know. And this is the first time I've visitedyour hometown. XL ： Yes, I'

35、 cars, and iron is used in electricalequipment.不同的金屬有不同的用處，比如說，鋼材用于制造汽車，鐵用于制造電子設備。When we use metals, it is important to know how theyreact with different substances, for example, water andoxygen.當我們使用金屬的時候，知道它們和不同物質的反應是很重要的，例如水和氧氣。The reaction of metals with these substances can be putin order.金屬和這

36、些物質的反應是有順序的。Here is a table with the metals that react most at thetop, and the metals that react least at the bottom.an oxide=another substance + oxygen 氧化=另種物質 + 氧氣A Simple Scientific Experiment 一個簡單的科學實驗下面是一種簡單的科學實驗描述。它向我們顯示鐵在空氣中和水中是怎樣反應的。Below is a description of a simple scientific experiment. I

39、ir computers to "talk" to each otherthrough the telephone.They created a network of computers called DARPANET.For fifteen years, only the U.S. army could use thissystem of communication.Then in 1984, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)started the NSFNET network.It then became possib

40、le for universities to use thesystem as well.NSFNET became known as the Inter-Network, or "Internet".The World Wide Web (the web) is a computer network thatallows computer users to access information from millions of websites via the Internet.At the moment, about 80 percent of web traffic is inEnglish, but this percentage is going down.By 2020, much web traffic could be in Chinese.The World Wide Web was invented in 1991 by an Englishscientist, Tim Berners-Lee
