1、Unit 1 Aron Ralston is an American man who is interested in mountain clim bing. As a mountain climber, Aron is used to (冒险). This is one of the exciting things about doing dangerous sports. There were (许多次) when Aron almost(失去生命) because of accidents. 在 April 26,2003,he found himself in a very dan
2、gerous situation when 爬 in Utah. 在 that day,Aron ’s arm 被压住 under a 360公斤的rock that fell on him when he was climbing 独自 in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm , he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water 用完,he knew that he would have to do s
3、omething 救his own life. He was not ready to die that day. So he used his knife 切除 half his right arm. Then , 用 his left arm , he bandaged him self 以便于he would not lose 太多blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help. After losing his arm he 写了 a book called 生死两难. This means 处在 in a
4、difficult situation that you cannot seem 从……中出来. In this book, Aron tells of the importance of 做正确抉择,and being in control of one’s life. His love for mountain climbing is so great that he 继续 climbing mountains even after this experience. Do we have the same spirit as Aron? Let’s think about it befo
5、re we find ourselves “between a rock and a hard place”,and before we have to make a decision that could 意味着 life or death. At 9:00 a.m. yesterday, bus No. 26 沿着…行驶 Zhonghua Road when the driver saw an old man 躺着 on the side of the road. A woman next to him 大声呼救. The bus driver, 24岁的 Wang Ping, s
6、topped the bus 没犹豫. He got off and asked the woman 发生了什么. She said that the man had 心脏问题 and should go to the hospital Mr. Wang knew he had to 立刻行动. He told the passengers that he must take the man to the hospitaL He expected most or all of the passengers 下车 and wait for the next bus. But 令他惊讶的是, th
7、ey all agreed 去 with him. Some passengers helped Mr. Wang to move the man on the bus. 多亏Mr. Wang and the passengers, the doctors saved the man 及时. “It’s sad that many people don’t want to help others because they don’t want any trouble , ”says one passenger. “But the driver didn’t think about himse

"The kids are sitting in the library,“ but you can see in their eyes that they're going on a different journey with each new book. 当志愿者 here is a dream come true for me. I can do what I love to do and help others at the same time." Dear M

14、t 3 I do not understand why some parents make their kids 帮助做家务 and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough 压力 from school. They don’t have time 学习 and do housework,too. Housework is 浪费时间. Could we just let them 做 their job 作为 students? They should spend their time on schoolwork为了 get go
15、od grades and get into 一所好大学. Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there is 没必要 for them to do it now. It is the 父母的job 提供 a clean and comfortable environment at home 为 their children. And 而且, I think 干杂活 is not so difficult. I don’ t mind做 them. I think it is important for
16、 children to learn how 做杂活 and help their parents with housework, it is not enough 仅仅取得好成绩 at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always asking, “Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” . Doing chores helps to 培养孩子的独立and teaches them how 照顾自己.
17、 It also helps them to understand 平等意识. 因为 they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should 尽自己的职责 keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbor’s son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how 照顾自己. 结果, he often生病 and his grades 下降. 越早 kids learn
18、 to be independent, 越好 it is for their future. Last month, our dog welcomed me when I 放学回家. He wanted a walk, but I was too tired. I 扔 down my bad and went into the living room. 当 I 坐 down in front of the TV, my mom 走过来. “Could you please take the dog for a walk?” she asked. “could I watch on
19、e节目 first?” I asked. “No!” she replied 生气地. “You watch TV 一直 and never help out around the house! I can’t work all day and do housework all evening.” “Well, I work all day at school, too! I’m just 一样累 you are!” I shouted back. My mom did not say anything and walked away. For one week, she didn’t do
20、 any housework and 我也没有做. Finally, I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt. The next day, my mom came home from work 发现 the house clean and tidy. “发生了什么?” she asked 惊讶地. “I’m sorry, mom. I finally understand that we need to 分摊 the housework有 a clean and comfortable home,” I 回答道. my proble
21、m is that I can’t 和睦相处 my family. 关系 between my parents have become difficult. They fight a lot, and I really don’t like it. It’s the 唯一的交流 they have. I don’t know if I should say anything to them about this. When they argue, it’s like a big, black cloud 笼罩在 our home. Also, my 年长的 brother is not ver
22、y nice to me. He always refuses 让我 me watch my favorite TV show. 相反 he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I don’t think this is fair. At home I always 感到寂寞 and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do? It’s not easy 在 your age, and it’s normal 有 these feelings. Why don’t you 谈论 these feel
23、ings with your family? If your parents are having problems, you should 主动help. Maybe you could do more jobs around the house 以便于 they have more time for 恰当的交流. Secondly, why don’t you sit down and communicate with your brother? You should 解释 that you don’t mind him 看 TV all the time. However, he sho
24、uld let you watch your favorite show. I 希望 things will be better for you soon. These days, chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to 上那么多的 after-school classes. Many of them are learning 考试技巧 so that they can get into a good high school and 之后 a good u
25、niversity. Others are practicing sports 以便于they can 参与竞争 and win. However, this doesn’t only happen in china. 泰勒一家 are a 典型的 amrican family. Life for cathy taylor’s three children is very busy. “在 most days after school,” cathy says,” I take one of my two boys to basketball 练习 and my daughter to fo
26、otball 训练. Then I 得 take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could 减掉 a few of their 活动, but I believe these activities are important for my children’s future. I really want them to be 成功.” However, the tired children don’t get home until after 7 p.m. they have a 快的 dinner, and then 该 homework.
27、Linda Miller, a mother of three, know all about 这种压力. “in some families, competition starts very young and 持续 until the kids getter older,” says she. “Mothers send their small kids to 各种各样的 classes. And they 总是比较 them with other children. It’s crazy. I don’t think it’s fair. Why don’t they just let
28、their kids be kids? People shouldn’t 鞭策 their so hard.” Doctors say 太多 pressure is not good for a child’s 成长. Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can 造成 a lot of stress for children. “kids should have time 放松 and think for themselves, too. Although it’s normal to want 成功的 children, it’s even
29、more important to have happy children.” 动词过去式形式、be+动词ing形式、动作的延续与非延续 The storm brought people closer together Ben could hear 强烈的 winds outside his home in Alabama. Black clouds were 使得 the sky very dark. With no light 在外面, it felt like midnight. The news on TV reported that a 猛烈的 rainstorm was in
30、 the area. Everyone in the neighborhood was busy. Ben’s dad (put) pieces of wood over the windows while his mom 确认 the flashlights and radio were 正常使用. She also put some candles and matches on the table. Ben (help) his mom make dinner when the rain began 重重地敲打 the windows. After dinner, they tried
31、 玩 a card game, but it was hard to have fun with a serious storm 发生 outside. Ben could not sleep 开始的时候. He finally fell asleep when the wind 逐渐减弱 at around 3:00 a.m. When he 醒来, the sun was rising. He went outside with his family and found the neighborhood 一团糟. 倒下的 trees, 破碎的 windows and rubbish we

33、xample, many people remember what they were doing 在 April 4,1968. This was an important 事件 in amrican history. On this day, Dr. Martin Luther King 被杀害. Although some people may not remember who killed him, they remember what they were doing when they heard the news. Robert Allen is now over 50, but
34、 he was a school pupil 当时.”I was at home with my parents,” Robert 回忆道. “we were eating dinner in the kitchen when we heard the news on the radio. The news reporter said,‘Dr. King 去世 just 10 minutes ago.’ My parents were 完全震惊了! My parents did not talk after that, and we finished 剩下的of our dinner 没有说话
35、 更近一点, most americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York 被摧毁 by terrorists. Even the date—September 11, 2001—has 对……有意义 most amricans. This was a day Kate Smith will never forget. She remembers 工作 in her office near the two towers. “my friend shouted that a p
36、lane just 撞击了 the World Trade Center! I (not believe) him at first, but then I looked out of the window and realized that it was true. I was so 害怕 that I 几乎神志不清了 after that.” 在 November 1979, 学生 in England (be) able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing this story 第一次.
37、However, this story is not new to chinese children. The Monkey King or Sun Wukong is the 最主要的角色 in the 传统的 chinese book Journey to the West. The Monkey King is not just any 普通的 monkey. In fact, he sometimes does not even 看起来像 a monkey! This is because he can make 72 改变 to his 外形和大小, (turn) himself
38、into different animals and objects. But unless he can 藏 his 尾巴, he cannot turn himself into a man. (fight) bad people, the Monkey King uses a magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so small that he can keep it in his ear. 有时候, he is able to make it big and long. The Monkey King (excite) the c

And as soon as the TV program 推出 more than 30 years ago, 西方的 children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps (斗争) to help 弱者and never gives up.
