亲爱的同学：
你好！欢迎回到“新起点（Starting Line）英语”的世界。
在这里，你将继续在听、说、玩、演、唱的过程中享受英语世
界的乐趣，不知不觉地学会很多英语。
同时，你将继续享受读、写英文的乐趣。作为六年级的学生，
在阅读方面，希望你不仅能读懂文章或故事的大意，还能抓住关键
的细节；在写的方面，希望你能模仿范例、借助提示，甚至独立写
出几句意义连贯的话。
同时，你将继续学习“自然拼读法”。经过五年的学习，你
已经能够听懂、会说很多英语单词了，但有些单词不一定会拼写。
“自然拼读法”能帮你拼出它们的读音、更快地记住它们的写法。
同时，“自然拼读法”也能帮你更快地记住全新的单词。你储备的单
词越多，读、写英文的乐趣就越多。所以，好好学习这个方法吧。
最后，别忘了这个小窍门：在阅读之前，先看看短文或故事的
标题和插图，大致猜测一下它的内容再去阅读，这能帮助你理解得
更快、更好。在阅读过程中，如果碰到不认识的单词，可以根据插
图和上下文猜猜它的意思；或者尝试用“自然拼读法”拼出它的读
音，没准你就知道它的意思了。在读完之后，可以回味、总结一下，
看看自己获得了什么信息，学到了什么知识或得到了什么启发。
好了，现在就让我们继续“新起点英语”之旅吧。

and windows. Have bright lights and light
firecrackers. The monster will not come again.
The people came back to the
village. They were happy to see
the old man. He told them how to
5 be safe.

Elephants are mammals. They can be four metres tall. They don’t

animal with a trunk – a special long nose. The elephant can use its trunk
to pick up a big tree or a small peanut. The elephant is also the mammal
with the biggest ears. They look like two big fans.

this winter vacation? Would you like to
go to Canada, the USA or Mexico?
2
Monarch butterflies travel to all
these countries. They fly south in
the autumn and they fly north in
the spring.
3
Before winter comes, thousands
of orange and black monarch
butterflies travel south. They fly
from Canada and the north part of
the USA to find warm weather.
4
Where do they fly? They fly south
to Mexico. How far is it? Some
butterflies fly as far as 3,200
kilometres.
425
In Mexico, the monarch butterflies
live in a forest for the winter. The
forest is like an umbrella. The
butterflies don’t get wet or cold.
6
You can see as many as 15,000
monarch butterflies sitting on one
branch!
7
During March, the days get longer
and the air gets warmer. The
monarch butterflies fly north. As
soon as they get to the north of the
USA and Canada, they lay eggs.
Then they die.

Colours and Feelings
In some countries, red is an angry colour. To “see red” means to
get very angry. But in China, red is a happy colour. We wear red
clothes at Chinese New Year and give money in red envelopes.
Yellow and orange are cheerful summer colours. Sunshine looks
orange, and golden yellow is the colour of a sandy beach.
Blue is the colour of the sky and the sea. In English, you “feel
blue” when you are sad. Green sometimes means safety. At traffic
lights around the world, the green light means “go”.
Purple is a colour for wealth and success. In the USA, the
Purple Heart is a famous medal given to very brave soldiers, so
purple means bravery.

When he first went to his high school,
