Accepting differences Reading
Lu Yao is telling a fable in the talent show.
C1 Background knowledge Do you know any fables? What can we learn
from them?
C2 R ead the fable.
The peacock and the wise old tree
In a forest live a peacock and a nightingale. They are good
friends. But one day the peacock looks sad and says to the wise
old tree, “Wise old tree, my friend the nightingale has a lovely
voice. She sings so well. Without any doubt, she will be a singer
5 in a few years. I have a loud voice. But when I sing, everyone will
laugh at me.”
The wise old tree smiles and says, “But you’re
beautiful. Your feathers are colourful.”
“What can I do in the future? Can I be a
10 singer?” the peacock worries.
The wise old tree pats him, “Not everyone will
be a singer. You can be a good dancer with
your beautiful feathers and dancing skills.
Different people are good at different things.
15 The elephant is strong. The monkey is clever.
The tiger jumps far. Everyone is unique.”

Making a profile① of “Future me”
Work in groups of four or five. Each member of the group makes a profile of
“Future me” with words and a picture, and puts it in a “time box”. About three
years later, all students will open the box and read their profiles.
Step 1 Collect ideas Ask yourself questions and note down the answers.
What ability/abilities will I have?
What will I look like?
Questions What habit(s) will I form?
Which school will I go to?
What weak point(s) will
...
I work on?
Step 2 Write Put together the answers in Step 1 and write the first draft.
Step 3 Share and revise Share your draft. Discuss the questions in Step 1
and revise your draft.
Step 4 Draw Draw a picture of yourself for your profile, or ask someone in
your group to draw the picture.
I will be over 1.75 metres tall and the best player on
our school basketball team. I’ll go to a good school in
our city. I’ll read English books every day and be able
to speak English well. I will not spend much time on
computer games but will play ball games with my
friends.
Step 5 Seal the box Put your profile of “Future me” in the “time box” and seal
the box.
Update my to-do list
Work in groups. Help each other find ways to become future selves.

UK heatwave hits a new high cool down.
The 19th of July saw an extreme heatwave in the UK. Temperatures
in several places broke records. In Coningsby, England, it reached
40.3°C. Scotland also had its hottest day, with a temperature of 34.8°C.
That day, fires broke out in a few places in England. Trains had to
5 slow down in many areas. An airport closed when parts of the runway
started to break open. Some schools were closed too.
Other schools took action to keep cool. Pupils wore T-shirts and shorts,
not their school uniforms, and played indoors. Zoos also tried their
best to cool their animals down. Tree animals and sea animals ate iced
10 vegetables, leaves or fish.
In fact, the average temperature of the Earth has increased by about 1°C
since the late 1700s. Using coal, cutting down forests and driving cars
caused the problem and made it worse day by day.

Different ways to
predict weather
Weather stations
Over 2,000 years ago, people in Athens①
could tell time and the wind direction.
The Tower of the Winds is said to be
the world’s first weather station. Today
weather stations are on land or on the
sea to collect information about the wind
direction and wind speed.
Weather balloons
Weather balloons measure②
temperature, humidity③,
air pressure and wind speed
in the air. The first weather
balloons appeared in France
in 1892.
Weather satellites④
Weather satellites go around
the Earth, and get pictures and

Good morning, teachers and friends!
I’m Jason Lee from Singapore. Today is Earth Day. I’d like to talk
about my home country on this special day.
Singapore is a garden city and even our airport is like a huge garden.
5 Everyone is taking action to make Singapore greener. The government
encourages people to take public transport like buses and the MRT.
We usually walk or cycle to school. In all schools, we have
environmental classes.
In fact, we have a Green Plan. In about ten years’ time, all new cars
10 and taxis will be electric. And 80% of the new buildings will be low-
energy ones. We can also walk to a park in 10 minutes.
However, Singapore alone can’t make a green planet. All the countries
in the world should do their share to make the Earth greener. It’s not
only for the planet but also for the future of mankind.

William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon,
England. Young Shakespeare loved reading plays, poems and stories,
and often watched plays in his hometown.
In 1582, he had a family. He went to London to try his luck in the late
5 1580s. There were many theatres. He took care of horses and acted in
plays. Then he tried writing plays. From 1589 to 1600, Shakespeare
wrote about 20 plays such as Romeo and Juliet. After seeing how poor
people lived, he wrote tragedies like Hamlet. People loved his plays
because he created many unique characters and brought them to life
10 on the stage.
In the early 1610s, he went back to his hometown and kept writing. He
died in 1616.
Shakespeare wrote 37 plays and over 150 poems in all. Today there
are still millions of Shakespeare fans in the world. His works make us
15 laugh, cry and think.

weight?
It’s a story about a clever boy named Cao Chong. One day, his father Cao Cao
said, “Look! There’s an elephant. How heavy is it?” No one knew. But the eight-
year-old Cao Chong had an idea. He asked someone to take the elephant on
a boat, mark the level of the water on its side
and then take it off. He asked some people to
put rocks on the boat until the water reached
the mark. Finally, they weighed the rocks and
got the elephant’s weight.

seal① on the plate. As the plate went up, it
wobbled② and the seal went around too.
Feynman noticed that the seal moved at a
different speed from the plate. He watched
for a long time and found out the moving
rule. Later, his discovery won him the
Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, which he
shared with two other scientists.

Highlights Read and answer: What influences do these people have on China?
Confucius (551 BCE–479 BCE) was one of
the greatest thinkers and teachers in Chinese
history. His ideas have been the guiding
philosophy of China for thousands of years.
He believed that people and society benefit
from lifelong learning and a moral outlook. His
sayings include “To learn without thinking is to
risk being blind, while to think without learning
is to risk being impractical①. ” and “Is it not a
delight to acquire② knowledge and put it into
practice?”
Zheng He (1371–1433 or 1375–1435)
was a Chinese explorer. He travelled out of
China seven times to explore the world. He
visited Southeast Asia, the Middle East and
even the east coast of Africa. He helped
build trade relations with many countries.
Wang Zhenyi (1768–1797) was a
Chinese scientist. She wrote papers on
the stars and used a simple language
to explain maths. In 1994, a crater③ on
Venus④ was named after her to mark her

Exploring the world: Antarctica
First impressions
Antarctica is the driest, coldest and windiest continent on the Earth. About 98% of
the land is under snow and ice, but Antarctica is the largest desert in the world. The
lowest temperature there was –89.2°C and the wind usually blows at a speed of
17–18 metres per second.
There are two seasons in Antarctica: winter and summer. Winter begins in April and
lasts until the end of October. In winter, most of Antarctica is dark for 24 hours a day.
Highlights Read and think: Why do we explore Antarctica?
Exploring Antarctica
Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer,
was the first team leader to reach the
South Pole in 1911. He learned about
living and working in cold places from
the Inuits, such as using furs, driving
dogs and building igloos.
In Antarctica, research stations spread across the continent representing①
over 30 countries from around the world. Scientists in Antarctica must

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children’s book written
by L. Frank Baum. A Kansas farm girl named Dorothy finds
herself in the magical Land of Oz after she and her pet dog are
blown away from their home by a strong wind. In the new land,
she makes several new friends. All of them wish for something.
They get along well and, after some hard times, finally get what
they want. On her journey back to Kansas, Dorothy learns true
friendship and how to face difficulties.
At nine o’clock the green man took Dorothy and her friends to the Wizard’s
room. A voice said, “I am the Wizard of Oz. Who are you, and what do you want?”
“Where are you?” asked Dorothy.
“I am everywhere, but you can’t see me. Who are you and what do you want?”
“You know us all,” said the Scarecrow②. “You said to me, ‘Help Dorothy to kill
the Witch of the West, and you can have some brains.’ Well, the Witch is dead, and
now I want my brains.”
“Is the Witch truly dead?” asked the Voice.
“Yes,” said Dorothy. “I threw a bucket of③ water over her, and she
disappeared.”
Then they saw an old man. He said, “Thank you, Dorothy. But I’m very sorry. I
don’t know any true magic, so I can’t help you.”
“What about my brains?” said the Scarecrow.
“You don’t need brains. You understand things; you can think; you learn
quickly. You’re very clever.”
“What about my heart?” asked the Tin Man④.
“You don’t need a heart,” said the old man. “You laugh, you cry, you love, you
feel sorry for people.”
“I want to be brave,” said the Cowardly Lion⑤.
“But you are brave. You do a lot of brave things!”
“What about Toto and me?” asked Dorothy.
“We can go up in my balloon,” said the Wizard. “The wind blew us here from
Kansas. Perhaps it can blow us back to Kansas again.”
The friends were not pleased. So the old man said, “All right. Please come
here tomorrow morning.”
The next morning he took a bottle with BRAINS on it in big green letters and

put it in the Scarecrow’s head. He said, “Now you’re the cleverest scarecrow in Oz.”
Next the Wizard gave the Tin Man a small red heart. “Wear this always,” he said.
Then the old man took a bottle with BE BRAVE on it. “Drink this,” he said to the
Cowardly Lion. All of them thanked the Wizard again and again.
The Wizard smiled at them. “You didn’t need my magic,” he said. “But you’re
all happy now, and that’s a good thing. Now, Dorothy,” he said, “come and see my
balloon. It’s all ready.”

A scene to act out
i
to r
Lc
The Tempest is a play written by William Shakespeare
around 1611. It starts with a big storm caused by a character
named Prospero. Prospero used to be the Duke of Milan but
he loved books and magic more than ruling. His brother,
Antonio, put him and his three-year-old daughter, Miranda,
on a boat and set them out to sea. They ended up on an
island where Prospero used his magic to free a spirit named
Ariel and other magical beings. One day, Prospero created
a storm to bring his enemies to the island. However, in the
end, he decided to forgive them.
Act 1, Scene 2
An island. A cleared① place before Prospero’s cave. Prospero and Miranda enter.
Miranda: My dearest father, did you raise the storm? If yes, stop it now. The
cries on the ship broke my heart!
Prospero: Calm down. Don’t worry. No harm, my dearest daughter. You don’t
know who you are. You don’t know where I came from.
Miranda: I never thought I should know more.
Prospero: It’s time I tell you. Help take off my magic cloak②.
She does so, and he places it on a rock.
Prospero: Wipe your eyes. Sit down. Now you must know more.
Miranda: But you always stopped and said, “No more. Not yet.”
Prospero: Now pay attention. Can you remember a time before we came to
this cave? Then you were not quite three years old.
Miranda: Certainly, I can.
Prospero: What can you remember? Some other houses or persons?
Miranda: It’s like a dream. Did I not have four or five women once to look after
me?

Prospero: You did, Miranda. What else can you see in the past?
Miranda: Nothing.
Prospero: Miranda, just twelve years ago, your father was the Duke of Milan.
Miranda: Oh, Father, tell me more.
Prospero: My brother was called Antonio. I trusted him and asked him to look
after my kingdom. I was focusing on learning magic. He became
powerful. Then he wanted to be the real duke! Soon he opened the
gates of Milan to Alonso, the King of Naples. They put us in a boat
and left us far in the sea.
Miranda: Why did they not kill us, then?
Prospero: A good question, my girl. Dear, they didn’t dare. My people loved
me too much, and they didn’t want their bad deed① to be marked
with blood.
Miranda: How did we reach the shore?
Prospero: Gonzalo, my friend helped. He gave us some food, fresh water, fine
clothes and books.
Miranda: I hope to see that man someday!
Prospero: We got to this island at last.
Miranda: Heaven, thank you for it! And now, please—what was your reason
for raising the tempest, this sea-storm?
Prospero: Now my enemies are near this shore. My lucky stars are shining on
me. No more questions for now.
He passes his hands across her eyes.
Prospero: You feel sleepy. It is a good feeling.

Night Thoughts is a poem by Li Bai, a famous Chinese poet in the Tang
dynasty. This poem shows Li Bai’s homesickness①. He was longing to have a family
reunion on an autumn night, but he was not able to.
This poem is famous for its deep feelings with very few words and wonderful
rhymes②. The poem has about 60 English translations. The following is from the
book Chinese Poetry in English Verse (1898) by Herbert A. Giles. Giles wrote many
works on Chinese language and culture.

Up towards the glorious moon I raise my head,
Then lay me down—and thoughts of home arise.

Unit 4
Preparatory it it 作形式主语
1 We use it for time, day & date, season, weather, temperature or distance.
it用于指代时间、星期、日期、季节、天气、温度或距离。
—What time is it?
Time
—It’s half past ten.
时间
It’s late. It’s time to listen to the weather forecast.
Day & Date —What day is it (today)? —It’s Thursday.
星期和日期 It’s 16 September. It was my birthday yesterday.
Season —What season is it now?
季节 —It’s spring now.
It’s raining./It isn’t raining./Is it snowing?
It rains a lot here./It didn’t rain here.
Weather
Does it snow very often here?
天气
It’s warm/hot/cold/fine/cloudy/windy/sunny/foggy/ ...
It’s a nice day today.
Temperature It is 28 degrees Celsius today.
温度 It reached 42 degrees Celsius in this area.
It’s three kilometres from our home to the city centre.
Distance How far is it from the weather satellite to the Earth?
距离 It’s a long walk from here to the bus stop.
We can walk home. It’s not far.
114 上海教育出版社上海教育出版社
2 W e use it in the sentence pattern It’s (It is) + adj. + to-infinitive to show our
feelings about something or doing something.
it还用于“It’s (It is) + 形容词 + 含有to的动词不定式”的结构中，表示对某物、
某事的感受。
It’s/ easy/difficult/impossible/dangerous/safe/expensive/
to do ...
It is interesting/nice/wonderful/terrible/ ...
In this pattern, the to-infinitive part is the real subject of the sentence. Since the part
is a bit too long, we usually use preparatory it instead and put the to-infinitive part
at the end of the sentence.
在这个句型中，带to的动词不定式是句子真正的主语。由于这个部分比较长，通
常被置于句末，而使用it充当形式主语。
e.g. It’s nice to do the weather experiment.
It’s impossible to travel in the weather balloon.
It wasn’t easy to predict weather in the past.
Unit 5
Modal verbs: can, could, may, should, must
情态动词：can, could, may, should, must
Modal verbs belong to auxiliary verbs and cannot be used alone. They need to form
the predicate of a sentence together with the base form of the verb.
情态动词属于助动词，不能单独使用，需要和其后的动词原形一起构成句子的谓语。
Function 功能 Example 示例
to say one has the ability to do
I can use plastic bottles to make
something
works of art.
表示能力
to give advice or make
We can tell people to put plastic
suggestions
bottles in the recycling bin.
