conversation below as a model.
Millie: I’m patient and I don’t get angry easily. I think I can be a good
teacher or a good doctor. What about you, Paul?

good accountant. What job do you like, Sandy?
Sandy: My art teacher says I often have exciting ideas. I like creative jobs.
How about you, David?
David: I’m active and I love talking with people. It’s terrible for me to work
without speaking all day long.
7Unit 1
A People who are happy with their jobs
Millie has read an article on Sunshine Daily. It introduces four people who
are outstanding in their fields in Sunshine Town. Here is the article.
“Wu Wei is a born artist,” said his best friend.
“He is quiet and doesn’t like to talk much, but
his work shouts!” Wu Wei, the young artist,
has impressed the whole country with his
5 creative work. His sculptures for Sunshine
Town Square have won high praise from the
art community. “I want to share the best art
with people, so I’m always searching for
something better or different. This in itself is
Wu Wei, artist
10 great fun,” he said.
Su Ning gave up her job as an accountant
five years ago and started to work for the
sales department in a big company. “I’m
active and energetic, and I love working with
15 people. However, in my last job, I could only
work with numbers day after day. That made
me unhappy.” Su Ning is now the general
manager of the company. “Life is like a race.
You either take the lead or fall behind. I’m
20 ready to take on new challenges any time,”
Su Ning, manager
she said.
8Unit 1
Liu Hao is the chief engineer of the high-speed
railway connecting Sunshine Town to Tianjin.
“To us, a miss is as good as a mile. We can’t
25 afford to make any mistakes,” said Mr Liu. “All
of us know that it’s necessary to pay attention
to every detail.” “He’s serious and well
organized,” one of his team members said. “He
always works to high standards, but he’s
30 modest and easy to work with.”
Liu Hao, engineer
Fang Yuan, head of Sunshine Hospital and
a pioneer heart surgeon, is kind and
patient. “As a doctor, you can’t be too
careful,” she said. “Carelessness will be a
35 disaster not only to ourselves but also to
patients.” “She’s always willing to work
extra hours,” said another doctor. In fact,
Doctor Fang often does operations for
about ten hours a day. She has devoted
40 most of her time to her work. All the
Fang Yuan, doctor
people in the town respect her.

B Using both ... and ..., not only ... but (also) ...,
either ... or ... and neither ... nor ...
We use conjunctions like both ... and ..., not only ... but (also) ..., either ...
or ..., and neither ... nor ... to connect the same part of two sentences to
avoid repetition.

about the four people.
➜Both Kitty and I have known something about the four people.

depending on the subject closer to the verb.
Both Kitty and Simon are energetic.
Not only the students but (also) their teacher knows about the four people.

Millie has found an article about the Chinese animal signs and personalities.
Look at the words and the pictures below and help Millie complete part of her notes
in Part A2.
In the Chinese lunar calendar, there are 12 animal signs.
Each of them represents a lunar year. They appear in a
fixed order and the cycle repeats every 12 years.
Rat: smart Horse: lively
Ox: hard-working Sheep: gentle
Tiger: brave Monkey: clever
Rabbit: careful Rooster: practical

programme again and help Millie complete the article.

In the Chinese lunar calendar,there are 12 animal signs.Some people believe that
people born under the same (1)______________may have similar personalities.For

B Speak up: We can read about them just for fun.
Millie and her neighbour Joe are talking about animal signs and personalities.
Work in pairs and give your own opinions. Use the conversation below as a model.
You may use the information in Part A1 to help you.
Millie: What’s your animal sign, Joe?
Joe: My animal sign is the Tiger. It is said that people born in the Year
of the Tiger are brave.
Millie: Mm, you’re brave in some ways.
Joe: Yes. What it says about me may be true, but for my cousin Julie,
that’s not the case. Her animal sign is the Sheep. It says that she’s
gentle, but in fact, she gets angry easily.
Millie: Yes, many people believe similar things. I think we can read about
these for fun, but we shouldn’t believe in them.
16Unit 1
Skimming
Skimming means reading the text quickly to get the main idea.
Skimming is often used when we read:
• newspapers (to quickly get the general news of the day).
• magazines (to find interesting articles we would like to read in more detail).
• business and travel guides (to quickly get information).
When skimming, read the title, the main headings, the first and last
paragraphs, and the first sentence of each paragraph. This will give you a
good idea of what the text is about.
Millie has found this article in a magazine. Skim the article below to find
the main idea. Use the following questions to help you.
1 What is the article about?
2 Is it true that some aspects of your personality are formed by nature?
3 What can change your personality?
How is your personality formed?
Personality includes your thoughts,feelings and behaviours which
make you different from other people. How is your personality
formed? Most people believe that it is formed by both nature and
the environment.
By nature
Some aspects of your personality are passed onto you by your
parents,for example,liveliness and impatience. That is why people
say “like father,like son”. Sometimes,these personalities do not
change and remain the same throughout your life.
By the environment
The environment,including your education,your experiences and
the people around you,can change your personality. For example,
you may become confident if you successfully complete a difficult
task through hard work. That is how your experience influences
your personality.
17Unit 1

A The power of colours
Millie has found an article about the relationship between colours and
moods in a magazine. Here is the article. Find out what the different colours
represent and how they influence us.
Colours and moods
Some people believe that colours can influence our moods. You
may wonder whether it is true. In fact, colours can change our
moods and make us feel happy or sad, energetic or sleepy. This
article explains what colours can do and what characteristics
5 they represent.
Have you ever walked into a room and felt
relaxed? It could be because the walls were painted blue. Blue is a
calm colour. It brings peace to our mind and body. Blue can also
represent sadness, so you may say “I’m feeling blue” when you are
10 feeling sad. White is another calm colour. It is also the colour of
purity. Many women like to wear white on their wedding day.
22Unit 2
Some colours, such as orange and yellow, can
make you feel warm. People in cold areas prefer warm colours in
their homes to create a warm and comfortable feeling.
15 Orange represents joy. It can cheer you up when you are feeling
sad. Yellow is the colour of the sun, so it can remind you of a
warm sunny day. Yellow is also the colour of wisdom. Some
people prefer this colour when they hope for success.
When you feel tired or weak, you should
20 wear energetic colours like green. Green can give you energy, as
it is the colour of nature and represents new life. However, it is
also the colour of envy, so we may say someone is “green with
envy”.
If you require strength in either body or
25 mind, red may be of some help to you. Red is the colour of heat.
It represents power and strong feelings. Wearing red can also
make it easier to take action. This may help when you are having
difficulty making a decision.
23Unit 2
B What do the different colours represent?
Millie is not sure about the meanings of some words in the article. Help
her work out what the words mean. Circle the correct letters.
1 To influence someone means 5 At a wedding, a man and a woman
_______. _______.
a to give someone a present a get into trouble
b to make someone change b get married
c to ask someone for help c fight with each other

c to like one thing more b forget something

4 To create means _______. 8 To require means _______.
a to grow a to repair
b to produce b to think
c to find c to need
Millie wants to remember what the different colours represent. Help her
match the colours on the left with what they represent on the right.

Does your favourite colour match your characteristics? Yes No
25Unit 2
A Object clauses introduced by that
An object clause functions as the object of a sentence. We use that to
introduce an object clause that is a statement.
An object clause can be put after verbs such as know, think, believe, hope
and mean.
Some people believe that colours can influence our moods.
She hopes that yellow can bring her success.
An object clause can also follow adjectives such as certain, sure and glad.
He is glad that the walls in his room are blue.
She is sure that yellow can bring her good luck.
In informal English we often drop that.
I think (that) blue is better than pink.
“I’m feeling blue” means (that) “I’m feeling sad”.
Do you think (that) your favourite colour matches your characteristics?
Talking about room colours
Sandy is chatting online with Millie about room colours. Try to add that to
each object clause.
Millie: Did you know there is a relationship between colours and
moods?
Sandy: Certainly. I think colours influence our everyday lives in
many ways.
Millie: How should we choose the colours for the rooms of a house?
Sandy: Most people think light colours are better than dark ones.
Millie: Yes. I notice light colours make rooms seem larger.
Sandy: Sure. I also know blue can make us feel relaxed.
Millie: Yes. My mum says blue is suitable for bedrooms. I also find
some people prefer orange for their dining rooms.
Sandy: True, but it depends on personal taste. Anyway, we should
choose the colour which makes us feel comfortable.
26Unit 2
B Object clauses introduced by if or whether
We use if or whether to introduce an object clause that expresses a yes/no
question. Such an object clause often follows verbs such as ask, see, wonder
and find out. The word order in the clause should be the same as that in a
statement.
You may wonder if/whether colours influence our moods.
Sandy asks if/whether orange can cheer her up.
Problems about shopping
The Class 1, Grade 9 students are shopping. Complete the sentences by
using if or whether to make object clauses.

complete his email using that, if or whether.

Andy: OK. Thanks, Millie.
30Unit 2
Scanning
Scanning means moving our eyes quickly over the text to look for specific
information such as names or numbers. We do not need to read every word.
Instead, we look for the key information that will answer our questions.
Scanning is often used when we read:
• some parts like “What’s on TV” in the newspaper.
• a bus/train timetable.
• a guidebook.
Millie is reading an English magazine article to find out why many boys and
girls dress in different colours. Scan the article to help Millie find the answers.
1 What did it mean if the sky was blue?
2 Why did women in the past like pink and red?
3 What power was blue once believed to have?
4 Where did girls come from according to a European story?
Blue for boys and pink for girls
In many places,baby boys are dressed in blue and baby girls in pink.
Why the difference?
Scientists now think this started many years ago. When most men
worked in the fields,the weather was very important to them. If the
sky was blue,it meant good weather. So when the men thought of
blue,they were very happy. In the past,women’s main job was to
look for food for their family. They liked pink and red because these
were the colours of healthy food,such as strawberries and apples.
People were also influenced by old stories. The colour blue was once
believed to have the power to drive evil spirits away,so people
dressed baby boys in blue in the hope that boys would be
protected. Baby girls were dressed in pink because,according to a
European story,girls were born inside pink roses.

Predicting
To predict is to guess what comes next. It helps us understand what kinds of
books or articles we are reading, and where we might find information.
When we read an article, we can often predict the content from the title. We
can also use the headings in an article to predict the main idea of each part.
Headings are the titles of the different parts. Often, they are in bold.
There is an article called “The trouble with teenagers”. Predict the points
that will be talked about in the article and tick (✓) the correct boxes.
1 making friends 5 how our body changes
2 life in Australia 6 worrying about tests
3 feeling lonely 7 study, study, study
4 schoolwork and hobbies 8 love or friendship
To get a general idea of a book or an article, we should ask some basic
questions. If we predict the answers that the questions might have, it will
help us find the answers more quickly and easily when we read in detail.
Millie is reading an article in Teenagers magazine. Match her questions with
your predicted answers. Write the correct letter in each blank.
1 What is it about? _______ a In a new school.
2 When did it happen? _______ b Because she moved to another
city.
3 Who is it about? _______ c She is shy and quiet, and she has
no new friends at school.

A Never give up
David likes basketball. He is reading an article about Spud Webb, a
retired American NBA player. Here is the article.
The shortest player in the NBA
Spud Webb was born in Texas, the USA, in 1963. He was very
small—much smaller than the other kids at school. However, he
had a big dream—he wanted to play in the NBA.
While attending junior high, Spud tried out for the school team,
5 but he was refused at first because he was too small. He did not
lose heart. When he finally got the chance, he scored 20 points in
his first game. From then on, he was the star of the team.
In senior high, Spud often had to sit in the stands because of his
height. He practised even harder and got the coach to change
10 his mind. Spud went on to become leader of the team. In his
last year of senior high, he was named Player of the Year
in Texas.
However, no university would invite him
to play basketball simply because he was
15 only 170 cm tall. He decided to play at
50Unit 4
a junior college. There he led his team to the national
championship. This brought him to the attention of North
Carolina State University. As a result, he succeeded in
getting a scholarship.
20 Although he was a great player at university, the NBA was
not interested in him because all its players were more than
20 cm taller than he was. After he graduated, he was forced
to play in another basketball league. He remained there for
about a year before the NBA took notice of him. In 1985, he
25 joined the Atlanta Hawks and became the shortest player in
the NBA at that time. He had many great achievements,
but his proudest moment came in 1986—he won the Slam
Dunk Contest.
Through hard work, Spud Webb proved that size and body
30 type do not matter—you can do almost anything if you
never give up.

Guessing the meaning of a word by its formation
When we read and come across new words, we can sometimes guess their
meanings by the way they are formed.
Sometimes a suffix changes a word’s part of speech, but the meaning
remains almost the same. Thus, if you know the meaning of the root word,
you can guess the meaning of the word, e.g. illness, achievement, energetic,
dangerous.
Sometimes a prefix or a suffix changes the meaning of a word, e.g. incorrect,
dislike, unlucky, homeless.
Sometimes two words come together to form a compound word, such as
blackboard. Some compounds have a hyphen (-), such as hard-working.
Millie has found out more about Anne Frank and her book. She underlined
some new words in a paragraph. Help her guess their meanings. Match the words
on the left with the meanings on the right. Write the correct letters in the blanks.
The Diary of a Young Girl became a best-seller as soon as it was
published. Soon it was read by people worldwide. It is not an imaginary
story but a true experience of a teenager in wartime. In this book, Anne,
a Jewish girl, describes her boredom with being away from the outside
world, her unhappiness with living in a small place all year, and her
fear of discovery and death.

A Tan Dun’s music
Sandy likes reading music magazines. She is reading an article about the
famous composer Tan Dun. Here is the article.
Music without
boundaries
Each time a medal was presented
to a winner at the Beijing 2008
Olympic Games, the award music
was played. The music was written
5 by Tan Dun, a world-famous composer.
Born in 1958 in central Hunan, China, Tan Dun grew up near
the Liuyang River. When he was very young, Tan showed an
interest in music. He loves the sounds of the rushing water
and the blowing wind because, to him, the best music comes
10 from nature. Since he had no musical instruments then, he
made music with common objects like stones and paper.
In 1978, Tan entered the Central Conservatory of Music in
Beijing. Eight years later, he went on to study in the USA.
There he got to know great musicians from around the world.
15 As a composer, perhaps he is best known for winning an
66Unit 5
Oscar for his music in the filmCrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
As he likes the sounds of nature, Tan uses them a lot in his
music. His amazing piece of music Water does not use any
musical instruments. Instead, Tan makes over 50 sounds from
20 water by controlling the speed of water flow. “They’re the
sounds of nature, and they create different pictures in different
minds,” Tan said.
Tan has helped build a bridge between the East and the West.
He has successfully brought Chinese and Western music
25 together. The music for the Beijing Olympics uses traditional
Chinese music and the sounds of an ancient Chinese bell,
though it is in a Western style.
“My music is to dream without boundaries,” Tan once said.
In his works, the past and the present, common objects and
30 musical instruments, traditional Chinese music and modern
Western music all mix together to make a new type—music
without boundaries.

Guessing the meaning of a word from the context
When we read, sometimes we can guess the meaning of a new word from
the context.
If a new word appears in a sentence, the sentence itself might give the
meaning of the word. When we look at the words before and after the new
word, it is possible to find its meaning.
The teacher’s question was a real riddle, a very difficult question to understand.
In the sentence above, “a very difficult question to understand” explains the
meaning of the word riddle.
Underline the meaning of the word in bold in each sentence.
1 The conductor, the person who sold and checked tickets on the bus, got
very angry and told him to get off.
2 She decided to study agriculture, the science of farming, at university.
3 When we talk about the curriculum, we refer to the students’ course of
study at school.
If the sentence does not define the word, first, try to determine the word’s
part of speech. Then look at the way other words are used in the sentence,
as this might give a clue to the meaning of the new word.
I sat on the green grass watching the white clouds sailing across the azure sky.
In the sentence above, azure is the colour of the sky—blue.
Read the sentences below. Guess the meaning of the words in bold.
1 I do not like pop music. I prefer blues instead. __a_ _k_in_d_ _o_f_ m__u_si_c__
2 Vehicles such as cars and buses are not allowed
on this road. ________________
3 I have few close friends, but many acquaintances
at school that I like to talk to. ________________

Read Sandy’s story about how she became interested in painting.
All my teachers and classmates praised my designs for the art festival.
They think I have a real gift for painting. However, I once did not like art
lessons because I could not draw very well.
One day, I was playing with some paint as usual in Ms Luo’s art lesson. I
mixed the paint with water. As I took the brush away, I dropped some paint
onto the paper. Looking at the mark, I decided to blow it. The paint began
to run, so I blew harder. The paint ran in all directions and made a very
interesting picture! I forgot that I was in class until Ms Luo came by my
desk. “That’s a very good picture, Sandy,” said Ms Luo. She encouraged me
to keep trying and make more wonderful pictures.
I did make some wonderful pictures later. Since then, I have been crazy
about crayons and paints. I enjoy myself in the world of colours every time
I paint.
Write your story about the art form you like best. Use Sandy’s article as a
model. The questionnaire on page 76 may help you.

A Kitty’s favourite film star
Kitty’s favourite film star is Audrey Hepburn. She has found an article
about this international superstar in a magazine. Here is the article.
Hollywood’s all-time best
–Audrey Hepburn
A
udrey Hepburn is one of
Hollywood’s all-time
greatest actresses. When she
died in 1993, the world felt very sad
5 about the loss of a great beauty, a great actress and a great
humanitarian.
Hepburn was born in Belgium on 4 May 1929. As a child, she
loved dancing and dreamt of becoming a successful ballet
dancer. After World War II, she moved to London with her
10 mother. She worked as a model before becoming an actress.
In 1951, while acting in France, Hepburn met the French
writer Colette. Hepburn’s beauty and charm caught the writer’s
attention. Colette insisted that Hepburn was the perfect girl for
the lead role in Gigi, a play based upon her novel, although
15 Hepburn had never played any major roles before. That event
marked the beginning of her successful career.
94Unit 7
Two years later, Hepburn was chosen to play the lead role of a
young princess in the Hollywood film Roman Holiday. It was
a big success and Hepburn soon became world-famous. She won
20 the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in this film that year.
During her lifetime, Hepburn had four more Oscar nominations.
In 1989, Hepburn made her final appearance in the film Always
and played the role of an angel.
Hepburn’s achievements went beyond the film industry. She
25 began to work for UNICEF in the 1950s. Hepburn spent her last
few years working closely with UNICEF so that she could help
poor children in different parts of the world. She won many
awards because of her efforts in this area.
In 1991, Hepburn discovered that she had cancer. On 20
30 January 1993, she passed away peacefully in her sleep.

A Murder in West Town
Last night, there was a murder in West Town. The Class 1, Grade 9 students
are reading about it in the newspaper. Here is the article.
25-year-old Computer Engineer Murdered
Early today, the body of a 25-year-old man was found in West
Town. The police have confirmed that the victim was a computer
engineer. He was last seen leaving his office in East Town at about
7 p.m. yesterday. He said he was going to visit his parents.
5 The police believe that the murder took place between 9 p.m. last
night and 1 a.m. this morning. They are still working at the scene
of the crime to find out whether the victim was killed somewhere
else and then brought to West Town, or killed at the place where
he was found.
10 “We’re asking anyone who saw anything unusual near Corn Street
last night to contact us,” said Detective Lu, West Town’s chief
detective. “The victim was wounded with a knife and bled to death
as a result. We’re now checking the scene for more clues which will
help solve the case.”
108Unit 8
15 The police are also wondering if the victim had any enemies. He
was single. He had many friends and a well-paid job. However,
according to the record, he was guilty of computer crimes in the
past.
“He was charged with breaking into several computer systems
20 over the last year,” said Detective Lu. “We’re not sure whether
this made him any enemies. We suppose that the victim knew
his murderer.”
So far, the only suspect is a short thin man who was seen
running down Corn Street at 10 p.m. last night. A witness
25 reported that he was breathing heavily and had blood on his
shirt. However, the suspect could prove that he was somewhere
else at the time of the crime and insisted that he was not guilty.
The victim’s parents have offered a reward of ¥50,000 for any
information that leads to the arrest of the murderer. Anyone who
30 can provide useful information should contact the police.

How to read a novel
When you read a novel, you often read quickly to get the general idea. You
do not need to understand each word.
Read the following excerpt from A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan
Doyle. Then answer the questions below.
“Come along, Doctor,” he (Holmes) said, “we shall go and look him
up. I’ll tell you one thing which may help you in the case,” he
continued, turning to the two detectives. “There has been murder
done, and the murderer was a man. He was more than six feet tall,
was in the prime of life, had small feet for his height ....”
Lestrade and Gregson glanced at each other with an incredulous
smile.
“If this man was murdered, how was it done?” asked the former.
“Poison,” said Sherlock Holmes curtly, and strode off. “One other
thing, Lestrade,” he added, turning round at the door, “‘Rache’, is
the German for ‘revenge’; so don’t lose your time looking for Miss
Rachel.”
Questions:
1 Who was the murderer, a man or a woman?
2 What was the murderer like?
3 How was the murder done?
4 What is the meaning of “Rache” in German?
There are some new words in the excerpt above, and some sentences with
more difficult words are left out. However, you can still answer the four
questions that help you get the general idea of the story.
Do you want to know what happened in the story? If you have time, find
the novel and read it quickly. Then tell your classmates about it.
