15、 important gift. It was a smile.It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart

16、break. I couldn't talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn't want my parents to worry about me.Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed me an

17、d then turned back. He 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.That smile changed my life.

18、ass. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn't remember smiling at me!It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is, if you think you are lonely, you might alway

19、s be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.Module 3 Unit 1 Remember to look out for the red light!Chen Huan: Hi, everybody.Sally: We'd like to thank you for taking us around Radio Beijing.Chen Huan: Don't mention it. I enjoy showing visitors around. Now, I want to answer your q

24、fteen.” I said.“And you want a job in radio? Shouldnt you be at school?” he asked.How could I explain? Ive always loved the radio. When I was about four or five years old, I remember sitting close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes, and to the voices of my favourit

25、e presenters. It seemed that they were speaking to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for 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 fathers computer to the listeners, talked

26、about life at school, and then closed down and did my homework.Soon my friends at junior high school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepared the weekly programmes, articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window).“OK, come

27、 with me,” the WXBN manager said. I sat down in the studio, in front of a microphone. He was in another room, behind the glass wall.“OK. Lets do a sound check. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.”All radio presenters begin work with the same question.“I had eggs, fruit and some milk.”“OK, thats

28、 great!” the man behind the glass said.And this was how my first real job in radio began.Module 4 Unit 1 If you want to record, press the red button(Irish music, with a violin)Lingling: Thats lovely! Whos playing?Sally: Thats us! Chen Huan wants a recording for his programme, and he lent me his CD r

29、ecorder. The orchestra was practising some Irish music yesterday, so I recorded it.Tony: How does it work?Daming: Lets look at the instruction. “If you want to turn on the recorder, press the blue button. If you want to play back, press the green button.(The same Irish music)Daming: Youve done that.

30、Tony: " and if you want to record, press the red button. If the red light doesnt come on, wait for thirty second." OK, lets try.Daming: Is it working?(Playback: Is it working?)Tony: Yes, it is. “If you want to send your recording by email, connect the recorder to your computer. If theres n

31、o green light, choose the copy symbol.”Lingling: And are you playing the violin?Sally: No, thats my best friend Kylie. She plays really well.Lingling: But why do you want to send Chen Huan a recording of Kylie playing?Sally: Well, shes my friend, and its important for her.Lingling: But its important

32、 for you, too. Sally.Betty: I think Chen Huan wants to hear you on Starsearch, not Kylie. Come on, Sally, Wheres your violin? Tony, press “record”!Tony: OK! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our star musician Sally Maxwell!All: Hooray!Unit 2 If a snake bites you, take a photoSmile, please!If a sn

33、ake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It may save your life. This is the surprising advice of a British cook.One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from the table, and suddenly a snake appeared and bit him on the hand.A few days earlier, the snak

34、e came to the restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish.“I went to try to pick it up and it bit me again. I threw it across the kitchen, and it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door,” Mr. Jackson said.Anyway, Mr Jackson stayed cool and he took a

35、photo of the snake with his mobile phone. Soon his hand began to ache and he went to hospital. Then his chest began to hurt. Doctors couldnt say what was wrong because they didnt know what kind of snake it was.Then Mr Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo. The doctors sent it to London Zoo. When

36、 they knew the kind of snake, they could give Mr Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day.“So my advice is this: If a snake bites you, pick up your phone. Take its photo first and then show the photo to the doctors,” suggests Mr Jackson. “Oh, and if the snake doesnt smile for it

37、s photo, dont worry!”Module 5 Unit 1 If she goes to a different school, I won't see my best friendBetty: Tell me about the concert, Sally.Sally: Well, we play some music all together. And then one of us plays a solo of some Irish dance music at the end of the Starsearch concert.Lingling: A solo?

38、 You mean alone in front of everyone? Rather you than me!Sally: Well, the orchestra will play in the background. Our music teacher will choose the best player during our final practice. And if I play well, Ill play the solo during the Starsearch concert.Betty: And if Kylie beats you, shell play the

39、solo and become the star on Starsearch!Sally: Yes, but actually, I want kylie to win.Lingling: Why?Sally: Her parents have warned her about her schoolwork. If she spends too much time with the orchestra, theyll punish her and send her to a different school.Betty: Thats a shame!Sally: And if she goes

40、 to a different school, I wont see my best friend.Lingling: So what can you do?Sally: If our teacher chooses Kylie, shell play the dance music. And if she becomes a star, her parents will be proud of her, and they wont send her away.Lingling: I see the problem!Sally: But if I refuse to play, our tea

41、cher wont choose me. Shell choose Kylie.Betty: But thats such a pity! You play so well.Sally: Ill have another chance one day. And Ill keep my best friend. Unit 2 If you tell him truth, you'll prove how honest you areDear Diana,Last week, my friend Da Wei brought a new computer game and asked to

42、 play it on my fathers computer. But my father has warned me not to use his computer for playing games because he uses it for his job. I can only use it for my homework. He thinks that if I play games on it, it will go wrong.Well, my dad was out, so we decided to try Da Weis game. We copied it onto

43、the computer and when we finished, we took it off the computer. We made quite sure my father didnt notice anything.But when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. The computer wasnt working because it had a virus!But I didnt tell him about the computer game.Now I feel terrible. It

44、 is going to be expensive to mend it. Should I tell him about the computer game? Should I offer to pay? Yours, Steve Dear Steve,Oh dear! You have made two mistakes. First, you used your dads computer when he told you not to. Second, you didnt tell him about the game. Yes, you must tell him immediate

45、ly. If you tell him the truth, he will be angry with you, but at least you will prove how honest you are.Then I think you should offer to pay. But you shouldnt use your pocket money-after all, your parents gave you that money. If you offer to do some jobs around the home, or maybe help him with his

46、work. He will realise that youre truly sorry.Oh, and next time, play football with Da Wei! Best wishes, Diana Module 6 Unit 1 She said China was a very exciting placeDaming: Hi, were you awake at 10 oclock yesterday evening?Betty: No, I was too sleepy. Why?Daming: It was Sallys interview.Tony: What

47、did she say?Daming: She was fantastic! She said (that she was with some classmates from London, and that she was studying Chinese).Tony: Did she talk about her friends?Daming: She said (she missed her parents but she had some close friends here).Tony: Thats us!Daming: And she said (China was a very

48、exciting place). But she didnt like the word “foreigner”. She explained (that her visit was about making friends).Betty: Ah, thats nice!Tony: Was that it?Daming: Yes, that was the end of the interview, but Chen Huan then said (Sally played the violin really well). He said (their concerts were excell

49、ent and everyone loved the music). And finally, he played the recording of Sallys music. She was excellent. I wanted to clap and cheer!Betty: So she knows (that shes among friends). Good. But Im worried about her because shes unhappy. We must look after her. Unit 2 He said it was on at the student c

50、inemaGood morning. I'm Chen Huan. Here's my culture report for today, Monday:A new film starts tonight at the student cinema at eight oclock. The film is PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. It's a fantastic adventure film. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are the stars. They are both very popular and

51、 famous, and they both act well in this film, and make their characters believable.The story is about an old ship. It sails around the Caribbean islands. Depp and Bloom try to find some lost gold. Then they come face to face with some terrible men, and have to fight them. There's lots of action,

52、 and the fighting looks really dangerous. They also save Keira Knightley. She plays Elisabeth, the daughter of a rich man. The scenes with Knightley and Bloom are beautiful and romantic.The film isn't true to life, but it's very exciting, and some of it is very funny. It's an enjoyable f

53、ilm, although in my opinion theres too much fighting. But except for that, it's an excellent film. If you didnt see it when it first came out, I advise you to go and see it now. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Its showing all week. Module 7 Unit 1 She asked if I was practising too muchLingling

54、: Welcome to Beihai Park.Sally: Its so quiet! I can hardly hear the traffic in the streets and no one is shouting. I can even hear the birds singing.Lingling: The government wants to protect the environment of parks all over China. Lets walk around the lake, cross the bridge and climb up to Baita. T

55、he air is very clear today, so well see the whole park from up there . So what are you going to do about the concert?Sally: Well,Ive phoned my teacher and I said my hand and arm hurt and I didnt want to play in the final practice. I said I only wanted to play at the Starsearch concert with the rest

56、of the orchestra.Lingling: So Kylie will play the solo, not you. What did your teacher say?Sally: She said she was sorry. She asked me (what was the matter).Lingling: And did you tell her the truth?Sally: Well I said (that my hand and arm hurt). She asked (if I was practising too much), and I said (

57、that I wasnt). Then she asked (if she could help me). I told her not to worry. She told me to look aftrer myself. She told me to rest and get better soon.Lingling: Good idea! For our May Day holiday, why dont we go to one of our national parks to relax- Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area? Unit 2 Lingling's uncle told us not
