the Declaration of Independence and later in 1778, France joined the war to help
win the independence of the United States of America from Great Britain.

A: It looks mysterious. Why was it built?

was perhaps built for astronomical reasons.
A: Astronomical reasons?
B: Yeah, it might have been built to observe the sun,
the stars and astronomical events such as eclipses.
A: Was this the only theory?
B: Of course not. A new theory has just been put forward recently.
A British archeologist said that it could have been a place of healing.
Patients went there to see the doctor and get treatment.
A: That sounds interesting. Was Stonehenge built a very long time ago?
B: Yes. Investigations show that it was built in different times from 3000 BC to 2000 BC.

The Great Wall
1 Listen to the tape and put the following events in order of time.
(1) China was united in 221 BC.
(2) The Great Wall has been repaired many times and it takes on a new look.
(3) More walls were put up.
(4) The fi rst emperor of the Qin Dynasty had the walls joined together.
(5) The fi rst part of the Great Wall was built.
(6) The Great Wall was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty.
2
Read the text. Match the words to their defi nitions.
Actually, China is not the only country in history that built a wall along its bor-
ders. Athens, the Roman Empire, Denmark and Korea all did so at certain times
in the past.
Yet the Great Wall is unique. It runs across North China like a huge dragon.
It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through val-
leys, till fi nally it reaches the sea.
The fi rst part of the Great Wall was built in the 7th century BC, when China
was divided into several states. Later more walls were put up to defend the
borders of different states. After China was united in 221 BC., the fi rst emperor
of the Qin Dynasty had the walls joined together and formed the fi rst “Wan Li
Chang Cheng” (ten thousand li Great Wall, li being a Chinese length unit). The
walls were connected by a system of watchtowers. These were used not only to
stop the enemy’s attack but also to communicate with the then capital (Xianyang)
by signal (smoke by day; fi re at night).
Most of the Great Wall we see today was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. It is more
than 6,000 kilometres long, about 6 – 7 metres high and 4 – 5 metres wide. In most
places it is wide enough for fi ve horses or ten men to walk side by side along the
top. It has great gateways which connect the main roads of North China. With a his-
tory of more than 2,000 years, some parts of the
Great Wall were destroyed or even disappeared.
However, the Great Wall has been repaired many
times. Now it takes on a new look.
The Great Wall is one of the fantastic at-
tractions in the world. More and more people
have come to know the Chinese saying “He
who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a
true man.”

Read the text and check your answers.
When you go to Giza, Egypt, you’ll defi nitely
visit the Great Pyramid. It was built more than
4,500 years ago. Besides the Great Pyramid,
there are many smaller pyramids at Giza and
other places in Egypt.
The pyramids were huge tombs for the kings of Egypt and other very
important people. They believed their bodies would be well kept in the pyra-
mids. No one really knows why the pyramids were designed in this shape.
Some people think the pyramids were built to point towards the sun and stars,
so that the dead person’s spirit could fl y to heaven like a rocket.
The Great Pyramid is the biggest of all the pyramids. It is about 137 me-
tres high. It is made of about 2,300,000 huge stones. Most of them are higher
than a man and weigh about two and a half tons each. Some weigh as much
as fi fteen tons. It took more than 100,000 men twenty years to build the Great
Pyramid.
It’s still a mystery how the pyramids were built so long ago. Each stone fi ts
so well. Did they have any machines? How did they cut, carry and lift the huge
stones? How did they make them all in the same shape? Scientists have stud-
ied the pyramids for hundreds of years, but no one can just tell how.
Inside the pyramids are rooms for dead bodies and treasures. Today, some
mummies and treasures are displayed in museums in different countries. On
Sept. 16, 2002, the Egyptian government’s robot explored in the Great Pyra-
mid and the door was open for the fi rst time in history. Yet the chamber was
plainly empty just like all the other chambers.

Read the text and answer the questions.
Yes, this is the very old children’s nursery rhyme about London Bridge.
London Bridge was opened in 1831 and became the busiest point in
London. Though it was renovated later, it was sinking into the clay of the
Thames River in the late 1960’s.
London offi cials said they’d have to replace the bridge. But what to do
with the old one?
Robert McCulloch, an American businessman, purchased the falling
down bridge for about $2.4 million. For the next three years, the bridge was
“London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady.”

The Seven Ancient Wonders of the World
• The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the
World. It was built by the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu around the year 2560 BC to
serve as a tomb. The Great Pyramid covers an area of 13 acres and is made of
about 2.3 million stone blocks.
• The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were built by King Nebuchadnezzar in 562 BC
for his wife, Amytis, who longed for the trees and fragrant plants of her home land.
The gardens were destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2nd century.
• The Temple of Artemis was begun in around 550 BC at Ephesus (now a site in
Turkey) for the Greek goddess Artemis and was completed 220 years later. The
temple was 425 feet long and 220 feet wide with 127 marble columns, each 60
feet tall. The temple was destroyed by the Goths in 262 AD.
• The Statue of Zeus was located at the ancient town of Olympia, on the west coast of
modern Greece, about 150 km west of Athens. It was made by the Greek sculptor
Phidias. In honour of Zeus the Ancient Olympic Games were held.
• The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, a 140-foot-high white marble structure, was
built in 352 BC at Halicarnassus (now a site in Turkey) in memory of King Mauso-
lus of Caria. It was destroyed in 1402.
• The Colossus of Rhodes, a 100-foot-tall bronze statue of the sun god Helios, was
built between 292 and 280 BC in the harbour at Rhodes. The statue was de-
stroyed by an earthquake in around 224 BC.
• The Lighthouse of Alexandria was built on the island of Pharos, at Alexandria,
Egypt, in 285 BC. It was 500 feet tall with a ramp leading to the top. Light was
produced with a fi re and refl ectors, and could be seen from a distance of over 40
miles.

Chinese calligraphy
Tom:
Mr Tang, I’m learning Chinese calligraphy
these days. How long is the history of Chinese calligraphy?
Mr Tang: The history of Chinese calligraphy is as long as that of China itself.
Calligraphy is one of the highest forms of Chinese art.
Tom:
Do I have to learn how Chinese characters were originally written?
Mr Tang: Yes, that will help you study the ancient art of beautiful handwriting. Chinese
writing uses thousands of characters. Each one stands for a thing or an idea.
Tom:
I’m studying kaishu now. How many categories are there in Chinese scripts?
Mr Tang: Kaishu is the regular script. Besides this, there are four more categories:
the seal character or the zhuan script, the official script or lishu,
the running hand or xingshu and the cursive hand or caoshu.
Tom:
There’s so much to learn about Chinese calligraphy. I’m getting more
interested in it now. Thank you, Mr Tang.

More than three years.
Mr Lee: How do you like Chinese food?
Peter:
Oh, Chinese food always amazes me. You eat with chopsticks and soup
spoons. You use knives only in the kitchen. You’ve got so many different
dishes.
Mr Lee: You’re right. China has many different regions and each of them has its
own crops and dishes.
Peter:
And the distinctive styles of cooking?
Mr Lee: Mmm, you’ve become quite an expert on Chinese food. In South China,
Cantonese food is cooked quickly in a frying pan, or wok. In the far north,
sweet-and-sour sauces are more often used.
Peter:
I have tried some Tibetan and Inner Mongolian food. It seems they use a
lot of dairy products.
Mr Lee: If you go to Fujian, a coastal province, you may have more seafood.
Peter:
I like the spicy flavour of Sichuan cooking. It’s a bit like the Central
American chilli.

the south and north, geographers have divided China’s rivers into two types,
southern and northern. The rivers south of the Qinling Mountains and the
Huaihe River have large quantities of water and keep a strong current all year
round. These rivers neither freeze nor stop fl owing, and the river valleys are
safe enough for growing crops. They provide convenience for shipping, as
well as irrigation and hydropower. The rivers north of the Qinling Mountains
and the Huaihe River have a large fl ow in summer but a small fl ow in winter.
These rivers have a large content of sand and clay and freeze in winter. This
has been inconvenient for shipping and the use of water resources.
Of China’s many long rivers the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are
the most famous throughout both Asia and the world. The length of the
Yangtze River is 6,300 km. It’s the third longest in the world after the Nile of
Africa and the Amazon of South America. The Yellow River, the fi fth longest

There are many TV programmes on Chinese cuisine, but few are like A Bite
of China. The latest seven-episode documentary offers insights into the geo-
graphical, historical and cultural aspects of Chinese food.
Filled with mouthwatering images of food ranging from fl avourful cuisine
to local delicacies, A Bite of China captures the beautiful and refi ned process
of food-making, which has attracted both food buffs and ordinary audiences.
“The programme tries to bring something new by presenting more cul-
tural elements related to dishes, such as eating habits and the ethics of eat-
ing,” said Chen Xiaoqing, the documentary producer.
An added bonus is that the show is not only about dishes. Every episode
highlights different people, who tell stories about their adventures with
food.
In addition, A Bite of China captures social transformations while present-
ing food culture, such as showing the spreading of extended families that
leave the elderly in their hometowns while other members work outside –
cases in which food serves as reminders of happy times of reunions.
“As a saying goes, ‘you are what you eat’,” Chen says. “Food is always
connected with people. Behind the documentary’s amazing and mouthwa-
tering images are personal stories that refl ect people’s living situations and
attitudes. That’s another component that makes it distinctive.”

Tea is drunk around the world. According to legend, tea was
discovered in China over 5,000 years ago by accident.
Tea has now become one of the daily necessities in China. Countless people like
to have a cup of tea after a meal. In a hot climate, tea seems to be able to drive out
the heat and bring on instant cool together with a feeling of relaxation.
By 1650, tea had been introduced to America by the Dutch. And not until 1652
did tea arrive in England. A formal English afternoon tea is often served at three in
the afternoon, with delicate small cakes and biscuits. The hostess will invite a few
friends to have tea together. The guests will be expected to dress as if going to an
important dinner.
Nowadays more and more people take tea as a healthy drink. The different
types of tea – mainly the green tea, black tea, oolong tea and scented tea – may not
only satisfy various people’s taste but also help them keep fi t.

Kenny:
I found some weather information about Michigan and I’m afraid I’ll

George: Right. But if you hope to pick up souvenirs when you return, you’d bet-
ter take some old clothes to wear while abroad. You can then leave them
behind to make extra room in your suitcase! I left a number of my shirts
with my host family in Bangladesh because there was no longer any
room in my suitcase. It was full of gifts for my family and friends.
Kenny:
I really want to take a camera.
George: A digital camera will be a good idea. If you take a digital camera and a
laptop computer on your trip, you will be able to take as many pictures
as you like. Plus, you can post the pictures on the Internet and let your

arations. You may check it out online.

experience of going abroad. Listen to the tape and write down exactly the
questions you hear.

Match the above questions to the following answers.
A. A lot of things. First, you need to apply for a passport. Apply several months
before you leave, especially if you need a visa from a foreign embassy.
B. Consider the in-country costs before you go. You should develop a budget
and live by it. Consider the costs of optional excursions, gifts, school sup-
plies, Internet access, in-country transportation and general living costs.
Many students have lost their mind at the night clubs and have spent their
semester budgets in their fi rst week abroad.
C. The visa, of course. Find out what kind of visa you will need. Sixty per cent
of the world’s countries require visas for any length of stay. If you travel, you
may need visas for other countries.
D. You should relax and have fun when you’re studying abroad. You’re going to
experience culture shock, no matter how cool you are, and how good your
language ability is. Have realistic expectations. Read everything you can fi nd
about your future home. See and do what you can, and enjoy the experi-
ence.
E. You’ll fi rst get your shots at the clinic. This is very important for your health
insurance. Then get an international student ID. The international student
ID gives you discounts at museums for youth admission, on bus fares, and
others. The additional benefi t of an international student ID is the travel
insurance.

Going Abroad
Every year there are many people going abroad to work or study. One of
the most important things for them is to fi nd a place to live in. Some of
them will stay in a dormitory, some will rent a room, and others, especially
students, may choose a homestay programme.
The host family provides the student with room and board. They are
also responsible for the student’s transportation to and from school.
Host families are usually generous people. They enjoy learning about
other cultures and appreciate what hosting gives to their family life. Very
often host families include the students on trips to supermarkets, to
square dances, or to churches. Many have long conversations with the
students about education, politics, food, dating practices, philosophy, and
lifestyles. Host family children enjoy playing with them as their “adopted”
brothers or sisters.

Read the text and decide whether each of the following statements is
true (T) or false (F).
Mark was walking home from school. A boy ahead of him tripped and
dropped all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a base-
ball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the
boy pick up the scattered articles. Since they were going the same way, he
helped to carry part of the burden. As they walked Mark discovered that the
boy’s name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and
that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects. Mark also learned
that Bill had just broken up with his girlfriend.
They arrived at Bill’s home fi rst and Mark was invited in for a coke and
to watch some television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs
and some small talk, and then Mark went home. They continued to see each
other around school, had lunch together once or twice a week, and then
both graduated from junior high school. They ended up in the same senior
high school, where they had brief contacts over the years. Finally, the last
year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could
talk.
Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had fi rst met. “Did you
ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?” asked Bill.
“You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn’t want to leave a mess for
anyone else. I had stored away some of my mother’s sleeping pills and I was
going home to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talk-
ing and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed
that time and so many things. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those
books that day, you did a lot more for me. You saved my life.”
(1) Mark met Bill on his way to school.
(2) Bill took a baseball bat because he wanted to go for a match.
(3) Mark helped Bill to get all the things back home.
(4) Bill studied very well at school.
(5) They met each other very often at senior high school.

Will and I got on very well together at university. When we first met, we
clicked straightaway and we ended up sharing a house for nearly three years.
Living with Will was fun. We soon found out that we had a lot in com-
mon and quickly became close friends. We always had really good discus-
sions about everything important at the time: politics, the environment, lit-
erature and other less important things like cooking. We also liked the same
music and that’s important when you’re sharing a house. We had the same
attitude to the important things in life and the only thing we argued about
was the housework. I’m very tidy whereas Will’s the opposite. He thinks
life’s too short to worry about things like that.

When we graduated three years ago, we went our separate ways and
since then our lives have been very different. I went back to my hometown
and got a job as a production assistant for art exhibitions. I like my job be-
cause I’m helping young people to get involved in the arts. I’m living with
my parents because I’m not earning very much. Will thinks I’m crazy because
money is very important to him now, but I get a lot of personal satisfaction
from my job. He’s earning a lot of money, but he doesn’t have time to spend
with his family and his friends. I don’t see him very often now. When he
comes down for the weekend we have a laugh, but our lifestyles are so dif-
ferent now that we don’t have very much to talk about.

When I was five, it was probably easy to make friends with the kids

(3) Dad, I have an e-friend but our friendship has been ruined by some huge
confl ict and disagreement. I really regret being a friend of his. Ending a
friendship can be a problem. And I don’t know what to do and say. Can
you give me some advice?
(4) Mom, I have chosen a birthday gift for Lily. You know she is really a lovely
girl and is always willing to help others. I hope that I will become a life-
long true friend of her! But can we be lifelong true friends?
(5) Dad, I wronged a special friend and now I don’t know how to fi x it. I mis-
understood Bill and had a quarrel with him. I really regret what I did. Bill
is a good boy and I don’t want to lose the friend. But what should I do to
renew our friendship?
A.
There are ways to keep a friendship alive. Like a garden, friendship needs
tending, time and care. Stay in touch with your friend as often as you
can. Try to spend time with your friend in a special, meaningful, interest-
ing way. Friendship also means responsibility. If you are a true friend, you
will always make yourself available, especially during your friend’s hard-
est, most diffi cult times.
B.
Don’t give up a friend easily. Limit your interaction when your friend is
angry. Don’t try to fi ght back in words. Most angry people want an audi-
ence. You should talk with him when he calms down. Perhaps there are
some problems in his family that make him angry.
C.
Accepting the blame is the only answer! Admit the fact that you were
wrong and apologize for it. Beg his pardon. Hopefully, your friend is a
kind and forgiving boy. Let your friend know that he is important to you.

In some cultures friendship means a strong lifelong bond between two peo-
ple. In these cultures friendships develop slowly, since they are built to last.
Americans are living in a society of great change. Studies show that one out
of fi ve American families moves every year. Americans have school friends,
work friends, sports friends and neighbourhood friends. These friendships
are based on common interests. When the shared activity ends, the friend-
ship may fade. American friendships develop quickly, and they may change
just as quickly.

Logic reasoning
A fourth-grade teacher was giving her pupils a lesson in logic.
“Here is the situation,” she said. “A man is standing up in
a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. He loses his balance,
falls in the river, and begins splashing and yelling for help.
His wife hears him. Knowing that he can’t swim, she runs
down to the bank. Why do you think she runs to the bank?”
A girl raised her hand and asked, “To draw out all of his
savings?”
Friends are like wine; the older, the better.
False friends are worse than open enemies.
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
When you meet your friend, your face shines—you have found gold.
A life without a friend is a life without the sun.
A friend is a gift you give yourself.
True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to
what you don’t say.
Don’t walk in front of me,
I may not follow.
Don’t walk behind me,
I may not lead.
Walk beside me and
be my friend.

Maths problems can be tricky!
T: Good morning, class!
SS: Good morning, Mrs Smith.
T: Let’s get started. Today we’re going to learn how to solve maths problems.
S1: Why are they called “problems”?
T: They are called “maths problems” because they can be tricky.
S2: So what should we do first?
T: When you look at a maths problem, it’s important that you read the question
carefully first and then work out whether you need to add, subtract, multiply or
divide. Be organized and use four steps to solve each problem.
S3: What are the four steps?
T: First, read the problem. Try to picture the problem in your head. Second,
organize the calculation. Is it addition, subtraction, multiplication or division?
Third, do the calculation. Finally, write down your answer.

It seems very natural that if you have two pennies and add two pennies to them,
you have four pennies. But do you know it took man millions of years to be able
to think this way? In fact, one of the most diffi cult things to teach children is the
concept of numbers.
In ancient times, when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned,
he had no system of numbers to use. He put a stone or pebble into a bag for each
animal. The more animals, the more stones or pebbles he had. It may explain why
the word “calculate” comes from the Latin word “calculus” which means “stone”.
Later on, man used tally marks to count. People would just scratch a line or

tally mark for each object they wanted to count, but they had no word to tell the
number.
The next step in the development of the number system was probably to
use fi ngers. Again we have a word that goes back to this. The word “digit” comes
from the Latin word “digitus”. It means “fi nger”! And the fact that we have 10 fi n-
gers led to the general use of “10” in the system of numbers.
The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thou-
sands of years ago and was brought to Europe during 8th to 11th century by Arab
traders. In this system all numbers are written with the nine digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9 and zero. It is a decimal system, that is, it is built on the base of 10.

To fi nd the answer, we need to take 187 away from 232.
Start with the units: 2−7(2 take away 7) is not possible. Take 1 from the next
column and exchange it for 10 units.
3 tens−1 ten =2 tens, so cross out the 3 in the tens column and write a 2
above it. Having taken one of the tens, you have 2+10 in the units column, so
cross out the 2 and write 12 above it.
12−7=5, write a 5 under the units column.
Now the tens column: 2−8 (2 tens take away 8 tens) is not possible. Take 1
hundred from the next column and exchange it for 10 tens. Instead of 2 hundreds
in the hundreds column, there is now 1 hundred. Cross out the 2 and write a 1
above it.
In the tens column you now have 2 tens +10 tens. Cross out the 2 and write
12 above it.
12−8=4, write a 4 under the tens column.
Now the hundreds column: 1−1=0. As this is the last column, don’t write 0
at the bottom. We don’t start numbers with a zero.
(1) What do we do when “2−7” is not possible?

The geometrical interpretation of the Pythagorean theorem actually shows the
relationship of the squares constructed on the sides of a right-angled triangle.
Construct equilateral triangles on the three
sides a, b, and c, of the right-angled triangle.
Since all equilateral triangles are similar,
the areas of the triangles in the fi gure are pro-
portional to the squares of the corresponding
sides. In other words,
It is interesting to note this fact: other
figures placed on the sides of a right-angled
triangle also have the same area relationship
as long as the three fi gures are similar to each
other. The reason for this is: when any two
fi gures are similar, their areas are proportional
to the squares of a corresponding dimension.
When we clear fractions, we obtain
Area A + Area B = Area C
Thus the area of the equilateral triangle on the hypotenuse of a right-
angled triangle is equal to the sum of the areas of the equilateral triangles
on the other two sides.
The same is true of semicircles constructed on the three sides of a right-
angled triangle.

A terrible earthquake and tsunami rocked northeastern Japan at 2:46 pm on
Friday, March 11. Thousands of people died and hundreds of thousands were af-

Jesse Johnson, a native of the US, who lived in Chiba, north of Tokyo was
eating at a sushi restaurant with his wife when the quake hit. “At fi rst everything
was OK, and it didn’t feel unusual, but then it went on and on. So I got myself and
my wife under the table,” he told the reporter from the press. “I’ve lived in Japan
for ten years and I had never felt anything like this before. The aftershocks kept
coming. I didn’t know whether it was me shaking or the earthquake. People had
rushed out of their houses before the earthquake struck. However, there were so
many people who were not that lucky. To my great relief, we were safe and sound.
It was the worst and the best moment of my life.”
Afterwards, the powerful earthquake began to strike the northeast coast,
triggering a massive tsunami. Near the city of Sendai, waves of muddy waters

Typhoon disasters are mainly caused by
a gale, an extremely big rainstorm and
storm surge. A wind with a scale above
10 can uproot trees and destroy hous-
es, so a typhoon with the wind scale
no less than 12 can cause catastrophic
destruction. A gale could overturn a
10,000-ton ship and seriously destroy
ground buildings and communications
facilities. An extremely big rainstorm (rainfall in one day of 500–1,000 mm)
can make a river dike break, a reservoir collapse, and cause fl oods, which
would drown fields, towns and cities in a moment. The worst storm tide
can lead to catastrophic damage. It can destroy sea walls and drown islands.
Coastal areas around the world are usually the economically developed areas
with dense population, so typhoons cause very serious damage to the econ-
omy and property.

Forecasting of a typhoon is an important way to lighten the damage.
The way to detect a typhoon is to use a satellite. On satellite cloud maps, the
existence and size of a typhoon can be clearly seen. So we can estimate the
centre of a typhoon and its intensity, and predict the direction and speed of
its movement with the help of satellite cloud images.
We can forecast typhoons, and give warnings through the media such as
television and the radio. This is an important way to reduce typhoon damage.

the fi erce eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Italy?
The city of Pompeii was at the foot of Mt
Vesuvius. In the year 79 AD, a young Roman
boy who later became a very famous Roman
historian was visiting his uncle in Pompeii. The
boy’s name was Pliny the Younger. One day
Pliny was looking at the sky. He saw a frighten-
ing sight. It was a very large dark cloud. This black cloud rose high into the
sky. Rock and ash fl ew through the air. What Pliny saw was the eruption –
the explosion – of the volcano.
When the volcano fi rst erupted, many people were able to fl ee the city
and escape death. In fact, 18,000 people escaped the terrible disaster. Unfor-
tunately, there was not enough time for everyone to escape. More than 2,000
people died. These unlucky people were buried alive under the volcanic ash.
The eruption lasted for about three days. When the eruption was over, Pom-
peii was completely buried.
In the year 1748 an Italian farmer was digging on his farm. As he was
digging, he uncovered a part of a wall of the ancient city of Pompeii. Soon
archaeologists began to dig in the area. As time went by, much of the ancient
city of Pompeii was uncovered. Today tourists come from all over the world
to see the ruins of the famous city of Pompeii.

you think. In fact, once you get started, you may just fi nd that living green is
more fun and rewarding.
Here are some easy lifestyle changes for people who want to do some-
thing right now:
* Walk, ride your bike, or use public transport whenever you can. Chal-
lenge yourself to walk or ride your bike at least once a week.
* Refuse plastic bags when shopping. Buy reusable grocery bags at stores
or use a backpack.
* Use both sides of paper. If junk mail or letters from friends are blank on
the back, you may save them for phone messages or other notes.
* Recycle every can, glass bottle, and newspaper you use.
* Try to use energy saving light bulbs, because they use much less energy
and last longer.
* Don’t leave electronic equipment plugged in when it is not in use.
* Don’t buy bottled water. Purchase a reusable container and fi ll it with
water.
When you feel comfortable with these changes, you can look for other
places in your life where you can reduce, reuse, or recycle. You may be sur-
prised at how easy it is to adopt a low-carbon lifestyle. Remember, small
changes really make a big difference!

Charles Richter: A scientist studying earthquakes
In 1935 Charles Richter came up with a scale that compared the energy of
earthquakes. Using his scale, how much damage would you expect from an
earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0?

Oral Presentation
Did you ever wonder if a building can be made “earthquake proof”?
Some newer buildings have foundations that can absorb a great deal of
shock. The buildings may sway, but they’re built to remain standing even
when hit by very strong quakes.
What do you think of the buildings?

Natural Disasters and Low-Carbon Living
For more than two days in September 1974, the people of Honduras shut their win-
dows, locked their doors and stayed in their homes. Fifi was outside, and they were
frightened.
By the time Fifi had left, 8,000 people were dead. Fifi wasn’t a pet dog as the
name suggests. It was a hurricane, one of the most destructive natural phenomena
in the world.
Why do we give human names to storms and hurricanes?
We didn’t always. Two hundred years ago, many hurricanes in the Caribbean
were named after the saint’s day when the storm happened. Later, storms were
known by the name of the city where they came ashore.
Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting people’s names — specifically, fe-
male names. Male names were added in 1979.
Each list is used every six years and includes 21 names, starting with every let-
ter but Q, U, X, Y, and Z. The names alternate between male and female.

A rhyme.
Three, it’s a magic number.
Yes it is, it’s a magic number,
Because two times three is six,
And three times six is eighteen,
And the eighteenth letter in the alphabet is R.
We’ve got three R’s we’re going to talk about today.
We’ve got to learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
If you’re going to the market to buy some juice,
You’ve got to bring your own bags and you learn to reduce your waste.
And if your brother or your sister’s got some cool clothes,
You could try them on before you buy some more of those.
Reuse, we’ve got to learn to reuse,
And if the first two R’s don’t work out,
And if you’ve got to make some trash,
Don’t throw it out.
Recycle, we’ve got to learn to recycle,
We’ve got to learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,
Because three, it’s a magic number.
Yes it is, it’s a magic number.
