3 Read the text again. Do you believe in John Titor? Why / Why not?
A Time-traveller from the Future?
In 2000 and 2001, a person called John Titor posted some
strange messages on the Internet. Titor said he came
from the future — he was an American soldier from the
year 2036. He was on a government mission(任务) to go
back to 1975 to find an old computer for fixing computer
programmes in his time. Before returning to the future, he
travelled to the year 2000 to visit his family.
Titor talked about some future events in his posts.
He said there would be a civil war(内战) in the
United States after the presidential election in 2004.
The war would lead to many global conflicts(冲突).
As a result, there would be no more Olympic Games
in the future.
Titor also warned that there would be a nuclear
attack in 2015. The attack would destroy the
environment seriously and most of the strong
countries in the world would disappear.
As of today, none of Titor’s predictions has come
true. But some people still believe in Titor and retell
his story on different websites. There is even a book
and a play about Titor.

Communication Tools in My Family
Thirty years ago, my grandparents wrote letters to their
friends and family. Grandpa worked in the city and
Grandma lived in the country, so they wrote to each
other. It took one week to deliver the letter. When
Grandma asked a question in her letter, it took her two
weeks to get the answer! If there was anything urgent,
they needed to send telegrams.
The telephone became a popular communication tool in the early 1990s. But my
dad’s family did not have a telephone until 1998. Although it was much faster than
writing letters, it was still inconvenient. Once Dad arrived home late because he
helped a granny on his way. My grandparents were so worried about him because
he could not call them and tell them what happened. This never
happened again after my dad bought his first mobile phone in
2002.
My favourite communication tool is the mobile phone. I have
used it since my thirteenth birthday. My parents and friends can
find me wherever I am. It is very convenient, but at the same
time it is easy to get bothered especially when I want to stay
alone. Sometimes I have headaches after talking on the mobile
phone for a long time.

Hey Mandy,
Thanks for your email. I’ve stayed here for one week. I
enjoy my stay very much. The host family is very good
to me. They have a son of my age. He led me to the
night market. I tried many kinds of traditional Chinese
food there. Some of them looked strange but tasted
really good! I’ve also tried to order food myself.
You’re right. It was Dragon Boat Festival yesterday. I’ve
tried some Zongzi but I haven’t made one myself. I’ve
eaten both sweet Zongzi and salty Zongzi. I like the
salty ones better. I’ve also watched dragon boat races.
The drums were loud and the boats were very colourful.
I enjoyed it very much.
I’ve bought you some Zongzi. You can have a taste of
them when I come back next week. I hope you’ll like
them.

1 How do your family celebrate the New Year?
2 Read the texts and find out the answers to the questions.
1 What do people put in their windows at Diwali?
2 Why do Japanese people laugh after the midnight’s bell?
3 What do people do during the countdown at Times Square?
4 What New Year traditions are the same in these places?
3 Read the texts again. Which celebration do you think is the most
exciting? Why?
People all around the world celebrate the start of a new year. They do
it in different ways and at different times because their calendars (历法)
are not the same.
New Year (on January 1st) in Spain is more commonly known as
“Nochevieja”. Celebrations usually begin with a family dinner on New
Year’s Eve. It is a tradition to eat twelve grapes on the twelve strokes
(钟声) of clock when it approaches New Year. It is thought that
every grape brings good luck for every month of the coming year.
Hindus (印度教教徒) celebrate Diwali (排灯节) , the New
Year Festival of Lights, after the end of the monsoon (雨季) in
October or November. People light small lamps and put them
in their windows. They visit their friends and family and have a
special meal. On the night of Diwali there are fireworks.
The Japanese New Year is on the first day of January. People buy decorations and put them
on their doors and windows for good luck. Families make rice cakes and give presents to
each other. At midnight, Buddhist monks (僧人) ring bells 108 times. Then people laugh —
this brings them luck in the new year.
In America, there is often a “ball drop” celebration during the
countdown (倒计时) to the New Year. The most famous one is at
Times Square in New York. From 11:59 pm on December 31st,
the huge crystal ball at the top of the tower moves down slowly.
Everyone counts down the final ten seconds. When the ball
reaches the bottom at midnight, there are beautiful fireworks in
the city centre.

Idiomatic Expressions
A good dictionary can help you work out the meaning of idiomatic expressions.
First, identify the idiomatic expression, e.g.
We will have a white Christmas this winter.
Then look up the key word in your dictionary, e.g. white.
a white Christmas: a Christmas when there is snow
Finally, look for an equivalent idiom or expression in your own language, e.g.
a white Christmas: 白色圣诞节
Match these idiomatic expressions with their meanings. Use a dictionary
to help you.

Aunt Ada’s Advice
Dear Aunt Ada,
I am a new student. Some girls in my class are not friendly to me although I tried
to be nice to them. I want to play with them but I am too shy to talk to them. They
never play with me. No one helps me because I have no friends in class. Can you
help me?
Linda
Dear Linda,
I am sorry to hear about your problems and hope I can help.
Maybe the girls don’t understand you so they are not friendly to you. You don’t
need to feel bad about yourself. How about joining a club with these girls and
communicate with them? They will like you when they get to know you more.
If you are too shy to talk to them, how could they know you? I think you may start
with saying hi to the classmates around you and make some short conversations
with them. It may be difficult at first but the more you try, the better you will be.
I hope my advice helps. Please write to me again if you need any more help.

Noticing the Stress
Words with more than one syllable have a stressed syllable. For example:
house · work /'haʊswɜːk/
In the dictionary, the stress is shown by “ ' ”. You say the stressed syllable
a bit louder than other syllable(s). We can also mark the main stress like this:
housework.
Find the main stress in the following words. Underline the stressed
syllables.
pass · word lone · ly a · mong
hob · by sup · pose stran · ger
Stresses can also be found in sentences. For example:
What can I do for you?
Usually, content words (or key words) in sentences are stressed. We do not
usually put stresses on articles, pronouns or auxiliary verbs.
The following sentences come from this unit. Underline the stressed words.
I always get nervous before tests. (page 42)
I should try that. (page 45)
I love my mum but we argue a lot. (page 46)

Dear Mum,
Today is my birthday and it is the first birthday I spend far away from home. I miss
you very much.
A few days ago, we learned a poem and discussed the famous line “You don’t know
what you’ve got until it’s gone.” Miss Li told us that her primary school teacher made
a huge difference in her life. She also told us how her teacher encouraged her. But she
mentioned with pity that she didn’t have a chance to tell her. This made me think a lot,
especially when I’m thousands of kilometres away from home. I write you this letter
because I want you to know how much I love you.
A friend once said that a person’s happiness was mostly because of his happy
childhood. I agree with her. I still remember the times when you held my hand and played
counting steps with me; you told me stories about the brave elephant and encouraged me
to be a confident girl. I also remember that in our small room, you read books at your
desk and I played with my toys on the bed nearby; in cool autumns, we took many walks
along the street, chatting and laughing together. My childhood was filled with these warm
memories. Now, I see what an influence you’ve had on my life.
Time flies and so much has happened. There have been good times and bad times,
successes and failures, pleasure and pain. But you were always by my side. When I won
the swimming prize, you smiled and said you were proud of me. When I failed my maths
exam, you encouraged me and said that everything would be fine. Your words encouraged
me to deal with all the difficulties. Now when I have difficulties, I always think of your
words and they help me so much.
You have always said that we should judge people’s success by how they live their lives
every day. I think I’m living a successful life and it’s all because of you. Thank you, Mum.
Love,
Feifei

My name is Sheila Galloway. In the 50s, my dad worked in a factory but my mum
stayed at home to look after me and my sister. We lived in a small house with a
tiny garden. My sister and I shared a room. We didn’t have central heating and
our bedroom was very cold and wet in winter. We wore socks in bed to keep
warm! We didn’t have a fridge, a washing machine or a telephone in those days. I
remember we used to listen to the radio in the evenings but then, in 1959, we got
a TV! The programmes were in black and white and finished at eleven o’clock at
night. My sister and I used to go to the cinema at weekends. The films and music
in those days were mainly from the US. We had a record player and we played our
favourite records on it.

My name is Tom Harmer. In the 50s, we lived in a house with a big garden. On a
dry summer day, my dad built a tree house and my friends came round to play in
it. I remember that very well. I used to sit in the tree house with my friends. We
drank cold lemon tea and ate mum’s cookies. When I was sixteen, I had driving
lessons. My dad gave me a second-hand car to go to school on weekdays. On
weekends, I used to drive around with my friends and we went to movie theaters
or fast-food restaurants. I was a baseball fan. I used to watch baseball games at

My Most Unforgettable Experience
I had the most unforgettable experience when I was twelve years old. One morning
I was riding my bike to school when a car bumped into me. My head bled a lot and
my right leg was broken. I was frightened and in great pain. The driver took me to
the hospital.
My mother came to the hospital immediately after she learned about my accident.
She held my hand and told me that she would always stay by my side so I didn’t
feel afraid any more. The doctor told me that I needed to stay in hospital for a
month. My mother came to the hospital every day to take care of me. She cooked
me delicious food and brought me books and toys.
When I felt bored, she told me stories. When I felt
upset, she chatted with me and cheered me up.
I learned how my mother loves me and cares about
me. She is the best mother in the world. I told her
that I would try my best to be a good son and make
her happy.

Li Chi (Rich), 18, China
Last Saturday, my school had a big event to celebrate
Coming of Age for all Senior three students. All the boys
were dressed in suits and ties, and the girls wore dresses.
In the ceremony, we walked across the “Adult Gate” one by
one. The headmaster welcomed us on the other side and
shook hands with each of us. My parents were invited, too.
Becoming adults does not only mean a change of age, but
more responsibilities（责任）as well.
Gary, 18, Australia
It was 17th September, the Citizenship Day, yesterday. I
turned eighteen last month so I could join the citizenship
ceremony. I was lucky because the other ceremony is on
Australia Day — 26th January — and it will be burning
hot then! I liked the traditional dances in the town hall.
Mum took the whole family and my friends to my favourite restaurant after the
ceremony. She said it was a treat to welcome me to the world of adults.
Nina, 18, Russia
In Russia, we celebrate our Coming of Age on our
graduation day. I will never forget that day. The girls
were dressed in black skirts and white aprons（围裙）.
The boys all wore their smartest clothes. We received
our diplomas from our headmaster and then we gave
our teachers presents to say “thank you”. After the ceremony, we had a big
party. We sang, danced and participated in a big performance to celebrate our
Coming of Age. The party lasted till early morning the next day, when all of us
became “adults”. It was very exciting!

A Mystery
Just after dark, the door opened. Detective Winters walked into the hall. Doctor
Hawthorne welcomed him. In the living room were three cups of warm lemon tea and a
guest.
“I came as soon as I could. What’s going on?” asked Detective Winters as he quickly
took off his scarf, hat and coat.
“First, we must keep everything we know very secret. The police have asked us to help
them find the truth.”
“I’m sure we can do that,” said Winters. Then they heard a noise from the parlour. “Is
someone in the parlour?”
“Lord Lister’s son Daniel is here. Or at least …”
“Lord Lister?! I haven’t seen him in 20 years. Let me speak to his son. Then we can
get to work.”
“Actually sir, Lord Lister is dead. He passed away recently and his son … well his son
is the work,” said Dr. Hawthorne.
“Can you explain this to me, Dr. Hawthorne?”
“You see, there are doubts. Daniel Lister disappeared thirteen years ago. He went on a
trip to France and never returned. Nobody knew where he was or whether he was
alive. Then suddenly, a week after his father’s death, he reappeared to claim his
very valuable inheritance. The police have tried their best but it’s impossible for
them to know exactly what’s going on. They thought you could help.”
“Oh my. This is all very sad. I knew Lord Lister well when we were young,
but I’ve only met Daniel once. Let’s see what we can find out,” said Winters.

Tape-measure Murder
Tape-measure Murder is a short story by Agatha Christie. In the story, Miss
Politt the dressmaker finds that Mrs Spenlow is dead in her house in a small
village called St Mary Mead. Everybody, including the police, thinks that Mr
Spenlow is the murderer because he is so calm and quiet after discovering his
wife’s death. But after the police talks to Miss Marple, she finds out who the
real murderer is.
The best part of the story is when Miss Marple explains how she solves the
mystery by noticing a tiny pin on a policeman’s uniform. Her explanation
is very clear and clever. Miss Marple is my favourite character in the story. I
think she is very special because she is just an old lady but she is even smarter
than the policemen. I never thought that an old lady can become the heroine
of a detective story!
Can you guess who the murderer is? Read the book to find
out! You will enjoy the book very much because the
ending is so surprising. You won’t put down the book
until you come to the end!

Study Help
Noticing Language
After reading a text and answering questions about it, go through the text
again and look for examples of useful language.
Find examples of the structures you have learnt (e.g. Nobody knew where
he was or whether he was alive.)
Find words that go together:
- phrasal verbs (e.g. find out)
- verb and noun (e.g. heard a noise)
- adjective and noun (e.g. valuable inheritance)
In dialogues, find words and phrases for:
- gaining time (e.g. You see …)
- expressing how you feel (e.g. Oh my …)
In dialogues and reading texts, find more useful expressions (e.g. What’s
going on?)
Look at the reading text in Lesson 18. Look for
structures you have learnt, words that go together
and useful expressions.

“Emperor, please help us,” said Dr Novak.
“Okay. You’ve got one chance. Answer three questions about Quark. One
wrong answer and you are lunch for the lizards! Question one. What is
this?” He pointed to his helmet.
b “Correct. Final question. What are those?” The emperor pointed at the
walls.
“They are TV screens,” said Datum. “The emperor can watch his planet
on them.”
“Okay,” said the emperor. “That is right. You are lucky! Help these
strange astronauts. Goodbye.”

“It is the famous gold helmet of Quark. It was the first emperor’s when
he discovered Quark.”
“Correct. Second question. What is this? ”
The emperor pointed to his pet lizard.
d That afternoon, the aliens helped
