Dear Diary,
I’m really afraid of going to the dentist. I don’t know why, but I have had
this fear since I was very young. When my mum wants me to go to the
dentist, I always refuse.
This morning, I woke up with a terrible toothache. I told my mum about it.
She thought that one of my teeth was probably rotten and that I needed to go
to a dentist. I had no choice but to go with her.
When we got to the dentist’s office, there were strange smells, strange
sounds and people dressed in strange clothing. Imagine how scared I was!
My hands were shaking. My legs felt so heavy, and it was difficult to stand!
Fortunately, the dentist, Dr. Hu, was very kind. She saw right away that I
was scared and told me not to worry. She helped me get up on the chair. “You
needn’t be afraid. What kind of music do you like?” she asked. She gave me
a headset, and I listened to music while she worked.
Before I knew it, my aching tooth was fixed. My tooth did not hurt at all. Dr.
Hu smiled at me and said, “See? I told you it would be OK.”
On the way home, Mum told me an old German saying:
Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.
Learning Tip

• What foods do you often eat every day?
• In your opinion, what’s a healthy and balanced diet?
Here are the four food groups:
• Grains
Bread, noodles and rice are all grain foods. Breakfast cereal
is also made of different grains. Grains give you vitamins, minerals and fibre. Did
you know corn is the best food for Vitamin B1?
Hands-on Activity
Would you like to try a fruit salad? Here’s how to make one:
First, cut some fruit into pieces and put them in a large bowl. Any fresh fruit
that’s in season is a good choice. Then, put a spoonful of honey and a cup of
yogurt on top. You can add some lemon juice if you like. At last, chill the fruit
salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes. It will taste better.
• Fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are also rich in vitamins, minerals and
fibre. They help you grow and stay healthy.
Salads are very popular in Western countries. They’re made
with lots of fresh vegetables.
• Protein foods
Many people think that only meat and chicken are protein
foods. Actually, other foods like fish, eggs and beans have a
lot of protein, too. In China and other East Asian countries,
people often eat tofu and other bean products. They also
drink soy milk. These are all good protein foods.
• Calcium foods
Your body needs calcium to stay healthy. Calcium makes your bones and teeth
strong. Milk, cheese and yogurt contain calcium. But did you know that many
green vegetables also have a lot of calcium?
Have a balanced diet!
A well-balanced diet includes foods from each food group. Do we need to balance
our diet? Of course, we do. A balanced diet will keep you healthy and give you lots
of energy!

Smoking is a bad habit. As a student, you should
never smoke.
Why is smoking harmful?
• Smoking is bad for your health. It can cause diseases of the heart and lungs.
Every year, millions of people around the world die as a result of smoking.
That’s terrible!
• If you smoke, you harm yourself, and you’re also harming the people
around you with your second-hand smoke.
• Smoking pollutes the environment, too. Everyone wants to live in a clean
environment and breathe fresh air. In many countries, smoking in public places
is now against the law.
What should we do?
• Never touch cigarettes. Whenever someone offers you a cigarette, you
should always say no. Don’t take that risk.
• When somebody talks about smoking, change the topic.
• If your family members smoke, encourage
them to stop smoking. It will be hard for them,
but you should try explaining how important it
is for their health.
• Eat more fruits and vegetables, do more
exercise, and form good habits.
Once you get into the habit of smoking, it’s not
easy to give it up. Stay away from cigarettes and
you can live a long, healthy and happy life.

draw global attention to the negative effects of tobacco.
Let’s help people stay healthy! In a small group, make a poster that

Dear Li Ming,
I had a very interesting week! I had appendicitis. I don’t have it anymore, but I
don’t have an appendix, either! The doctor took it out!
I slept all day after my appendix was taken out. The next day, when I woke up,
I felt terrible and very sleepy. I didn’t want to eat, but I was very thirsty. My
doctor said I had a fever. She told me to drink plenty of water and have a good
rest. So I stayed in bed and rested. Sometimes the nurses gave me pop to drink!
Now I’m feeling much better. My mother brought me some new books to read
(but no homework). I also have a television in my room!
I will write to you again soon.

After the history class, Li Ming sits in the classroom, deep in thought. Wang
Mei comes in and the two start a dialogue.
Wang Mei: Hi Li Ming. What are you thinking about?
Li Ming: Oh, hi Wang Mei. I was just thinking… What is the meaning of life?
Do you ever wonder about that?
Wang Mei: Oh, I see. You are thinking about your purpose in life. Yes, I think
about that sometimes. But I also wonder about other things. For example,
why are great people so successful? And how can we succeed in life?
Li Ming: Those are good questions, too. But… what is success? And how do
you know if you’ve succeeded? Does it mean that you have a good job? Does
it mean that you are rich and famous?
Wang Mei: Those are all really important questions and very difficult to answer.
I’m not sure how to answer them, but I think we should try our best to live a
good and happy life.
Li Ming: That sounds right to me. My dad always says that we should be good
to others.
Wang Mei: Exactly! If we are living a happy life, but the people around us
aren’t, is that a good life? I’m not so sure… It seems like something is
missing.
Li Ming: I agree. I have an idea,

Albert Einstein was one of the greatest minds of the
last century. During his lifetime, Einstein thought about
the universe and solved many problems in physics.
Einstein is most famous for his Theory of Relativity.
Einstein’s early years
Einstein was born in Germany in 1879. After
he finished school, he went on to study physics in
Switzerland. In 1905, Einstein began to write articles and
became a pioneer in the field of modern physics. For one
of those articles, he received the Nobel Prize in 1921.
Einstein, the teacher
Einstein taught at universities in Switzerland and
Germany. He left Germany in 1933 and went to teach
at Princeton University in the United States.
Einstein died in 1955. He signed his last letter before
he passed away. The letter asked people to give up
nuclear weapons.
Einstein’s sayings
What do you do with your
mind? You think! This is what
I think: E=mc

“The important thing is not to stop questioning.”
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
“I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is
false. The hundredth time I am right.”
Culture Tip
The Nobel Prize is widely regarded as the most important award in the
fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace. It was
established by the will of the Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel in 1895. A sixth prize,
for economics, was created in 1968. The 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or
Medicine was awarded to Tu Youyou, a famous Chinese pharmaceutical chemist.
This is Princeton University,
a famous university in the
United States.

A scientist in China had a dream
when he was a child. In the dream,
he grew a new type of rice that was
as big as a peanut. The plant allowed
farmers to rest in its shade. That child
was Yuan Longping.
In the 1960s, a few years after he
finished his studies in agriculture
at university, he came up with an
idea for hybrid rice. Then he spent
much of his time researching and
developing new varieties.
In 1973, together with other scientists, he succeeded in developing hybrid rice.
The introduction of this new product helped farmers produce much more rice and
made China a leader in rice production. For this, he became known as the “Father
of Hybrid Rice”. In 1980, the technology for hybrid rice was introduced to the
United States and, later, to many other countries around the world.
“Doing research is like high jumping,” Dr. Yuan once said. “A new height is
waiting for you after each jump. You will fall behind if you give up jumping.” In
2020, the 90-year-old was still setting higher goals for super hybrid rice.
In his spare time, Dr. Yuan loved playing the violin and listening to music.
Every night, he read for half an hour before he went to sleep. He liked
swimming, too.
Yuan Longping, the great scientist, passed away at the age of 91 in Changsha
on May 22, 2021.
Dr. Yuan worked most of his life growing
better rice.

THE PLANETARY POST • JUNE 2, 1968
Helen Keller Dies at 88
Helen Keller, the well-known writer
and educator, died yesterday at the age
of 88. Helen Keller was a model for
people around the world.
Helen was born in 1880 in the
United States. When she was nineteen
months old, Helen fell ill. She had a
high fever that made her blind and
deaf. Before her illness, Helen was a
bright and happy girl. After she lost
her ability to see and hear, she became
difficult and wild. She often shouted
and cried.
In 1887, a young teacher named
Anne Sullivan, began to help Helen.
She spelled words on Helen’s hand
with her fingers. At first, the words
didn’t mean anything to Helen. Then,
one day, while Helen was playing in
some water, Anne spelled W-A-T-E-R
on Helen’s hand. Suddenly, Helen
understood. That day, she learned
many more words: mother, father,
sister and teacher. Anne was filled with
pride.
As Helen grew older, she made a
lot of progress and learned to read.
She had special books with letters that
she could feel with her fingers. She
also learned to write and even speak.
When Helen studied at university,
Anne sat beside her. She listened to
the professors’ words and spelled them
on Helen’s hand.
After Helen finished university,
she visited many countries. She spoke
about her life. She was very famous for
her courage and hard work. She did her
best to help others in the community
who were deaf or blind. She tried to
live her life without any regret.
She will be greatly missed.

Dear Danny,
This week in class, we talked about success. We studied famous people and
talked about our heroes.
On Monday, Ms. Liu asked us to make crossword puzzles based on facts
about our heroes. I thought it would be fun because I did a lot of crossword
puzzles when I was in Canada.
But whom should my puzzle be about? I thought about it as I walked to and
from school.
Then I had a great idea. My hero wouldn’t be anybody
famous. It would be somebody who I like very much.
I’m sending you the puzzle so you can try to guess who it is.
Li Ming
Hi Li Ming,
I love your puzzle! You chose a very good hero. I hope he will be famous
someday!
I showed the puzzle to Jenny and Brian after the chemistry class today. I told
them that the puzzle was about a great person. I said that this person was the
same age as them.
They couldn’t guess, so I helped them. I said that the
person’s favourite food was donuts. Five minutes later,
they finished the whole puzzle. I told them that you made
it for me.
Thanks, Li Ming. Your puzzle was fun!

Putting It All Together
Read the passage and answer the question.
Deng Jiaxian
Deng Jiaxian was born in Huaining, Anhui Province,
on June 25, 1924. He entered the Physics Department
of the Southwest Associated University in 1941. After
graduation in 1945, he taught in middle schools and later in the Physics
Department of Peking University. In 1948, he was admitted to the Graduate
School of Purdue University in the United States and received a PhD
in physics two years later. Nine days after he got his doctoral degree,
he stepped onto the ship back to China and started his creative nuclear
theoretical research.
Deng Jiaxian set up classes, giving lessons himself and organizing people
to translate and study relevant foreign language materials. At the same time,
he never gave up on his ideas regarding the main direction of atomic bomb
development. Following the successful test of the atomic bomb, Deng and
his team joined the research group led by Yu Min in 1965 and immediately
started designing the hydrogen bomb. Within no more than one year, the
Deng-Yu Project was submitted, which greatly accelerated China’s hydrogen
bomb development and realization.
In the nuclear experiments, Deng always stood in the front line and
never made his colleagues do the dangerous work for him. Unfortunately,
he got radiation sickness in the early 1980s. However, he continued to
work in spite of his illness until 1985 when he was unable to avoid being
hospitalized.
II. Make up a dialogue with your partner based on Marie Curie’s file.

NORTH TOWN, Alberta: Thirteen-year-old
Ann Brown was hit by a car at 15 Park Road.
The accident happened at about 7:30 a.m. She
and her brother, James, were on their way to
an early basketball practice.
“We were in a hurry,” James told the reporter.
“We didn’t want to be late for practice. Ann
dropped her basketball, and it rolled onto the
street. She raced to get it.”
Northern News, December 7
Girl, 13, Hit by Car
Mrs. Andrews, who was walking several steps
behind the two students, saw it happen. “I don’t know whose fault it was,”
Mrs. Andrews said. “The girl didn’t see the car. And the street was icy — the
car couldn’t stop in time. It was terrible.”
Mrs. Andrews said that she could see what was going to happen. “I shouted
to the girl. I wanted to stop her from running after the ball, but she didn’t hear
me.” After the accident, the car stopped, and the driver, Bill Morin, jumped out.
He called an ambulance.
Mr. Morin knows first aid. He did not move Ann. He stopped traffic on the
road until the ambulance came. Then the ambulance took both students to the
hospital.
Ann has a broken leg and an ugly shoulder wound. She is recovering in the

Then I saw blood on my shoe. My hand and knee were
bleeding.
As I lay there, I took off my helmet. There was a sharp
rock sticking out of it. It was pretty scary to look at. Thank
goodness I wore my helmet!
I shouted for help. A stranger stopped his truck and came
to help me. He put my bike in the back of his truck and drove me to the hospital.
When my mother got to the hospital, she gave me a big hug. “I’m so glad you
were wearing your helmet,” she said. She knew I was careless and did not always
wear my helmet.
But I’ll never be careless again! My bicycle helmet saved my life!

Earthquakes usually come without
warning. What should you do if this
happens to you? Stay calm as the earth
begins to shake and move. An earthquake
is dangerous, but there are things you can
do to protect yourself.
If you are inside when the earthquake
starts, get under a table or a bed. You
need to have something strong around
you to protect you from falling objects.
Do not stand near walls or windows and stay out of the kitchen. The kitchen is
dangerous because there are so many glass objects. Also, never get into a lift
during an earthquake.
If you are outside, get to an open area as fast as you can. Stay away from
buildings and trees. If you are in a car, pull over to a place where there are no
trees or tall buildings and stay in the car. If you are close to the sea, try to get as
far away from the water as possible. Earthquakes can cause huge waves that can
really harm the people nearby.
When the earthquake is over, there is still plenty of danger. If you see a fire,
quickly move outdoors to an open area. Keep an eye out for things that can fall on
you. If you have a phone, use it only once to call your family or a friend. Too many
calls will bring down the phone system. Your chances of survival in an earthquake
go up if you stay calm. Staying calm is not easy, but it can save your life.
Earthquakes are terrible.
Learning Tip
An earthquake is a sudden shaking of the ground.
It happens because there is movement in the earth’s
crust.

Dear Brian,
I got your e-mail. I like your new rule. I will never try to catch a falling
dinosaur. It isn’t safe!
Danny also wrote to me about the accident. He felt bad because he was
careless. You advised him to use a ladder, but he didn’t listen. He was lucky
you were there to catch him. But I guess you weren’t so lucky.
Accidents happen so suddenly. I remember when I was seven years old, my
mother took me to the park one day. I saw a big tree. My mother tried to stop
me, but I really wanted to climb the tree. I told her I would be careful.
“Don’t climb too high,” she warned.
She watched me climb higher and higher. “Look at me, Mother!” I shouted. “I
can almost touch the sky!”
“That’s too high,” she called. “Be careful, Li Ming!”
Suddenly, the branch broke. I fell. My mother tried to catch me, but she
couldn’t. I hit the ground very hard.
There was something wrong with my leg. It hurt! I couldn’t move it. My
mum took me to the hospital. At the hospital, the doctor said my leg was
broken.
It took me three months to recover. I couldn’t attend ping-pong training that
year!
Now, I always listen to my mother’s
warnings about safety.
By the way, do you like the gift I sent you?
Take care,

a story or a poem, right?
Jenny: Yes. I haven’t decided which
one to write yet. I feel that it’s
easier to write a story. You should
write one, too.
Danny: I don’t think so. Compared
with poems, stories usually have
longer passages. Every story must
have a beginning, a middle and an
end. It takes too much time to write
a story.
Jenny: That’s true. But a story doesn’t
limit you like a poem does. With
poems, you need to think about
format, rhyme and meaning. You
must use words very carefully
because so few words are used in
poems.
Danny: I know, but I still think it’s
easier to write a short poem.
Jenny: Although a poem has fewer
words, it’s not always easier to write.
Every word must have power and
meaning. If you think about it, it can
take a long time to come up with the
right words. Sometimes writing less
takes more effort than writing more.
Danny: It is hard, but I did it. I
described something I love. Would

• Do you like reading fables? What fables have you read?
• Do you think it is important to be honest? Why?
Long ago, there was a good and honest woodcutter. One day, when he was
cutting wood beside a lake, he lost his axe in the water. The water was deep, and
he could not get his axe back. He had only one axe, and he needed it to make his
living. He sat down and began to cry. As he cried, a spirit appeared. She asked
the man what was wrong. She listened to the woodcutter and felt sorry for him.
But what could she do to help? Suddenly she came up with a great idea. The spirit
dove into the lake and brought back a gold axe.
“Is this the axe you lost?” asked the good spirit. The man looked at the gold
axe, knowing it wasn’t his. Because he was honest, he admitted to the spirit that it
wasn’t his axe.
Learning Tip
This story is adapted from a European fable. A fable is a fictional story about
animals, plants, forces of nature, etc. It always has a moral lesson.
So the spirit dove into the
water again and brought back a
silver axe. Once again, the man
said that was not his axe. The
spirit went down a third time and
returned with the woodcutter’s old
axe. “That is the right one!” said
the woodcutter. The spirit was
so happy with the woodcutter’s
honesty that she gave him the
other two axes as presents.
Honesty truly is the best policy.

Once upon a time, there was a large, lovely garden. Its grass was soft and
green. Its trees were filled with singing birds. Every afternoon, children would
play in the garden after school. They ran in the grass and climbed the trees. They
loved to listen to the singing of the birds. How happy they were!
One day the children were playing in the garden
when a giant appeared. “What are you doing here?”
the giant cried in a loud voice. “This is my garden!
You must leave immediately!” The children were
frightened. They ran away and dared not come back.
The next day, the giant built a high wall around his
garden and put a notice on a board: DO NOT ENTER!
The poor children no longer had a place to play.
Summer turned to fall and fall turned to winter.
When spring came, flowers blossomed and the birds began to sing across the land.
But in the giant’s garden, it was still winter. The green grass was covered with
snow, and the cold winds kept the birds away. “I don’t understand why spring is
so late coming to my garden this year,” said the giant. He felt sad as he looked
through the window at his frozen, white garden.
One morning as the giant was lying awake in
his bed, he heard lovely music coming through
the window. He thought it must be the king’s
musicians passing by. “Perhaps spring has come
at last,” he said as he jumped out of his bed and
looked outside.
What did the giant see?
A fairy tale is a story that often has characters like fairies, dwarfs, giants or
mermaids. This fairy tale is adapted from The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde.
He was one of London’s most popular playwrights in the early 1890s.

Dear Diary,
We learned to write stories and poems this week. We read many
different kinds of poems. We also learned about fables and fairy tales.
I like reading stories, but they are very hard to write. I think a good
story must have great characters and an interesting plot. Jenny thinks
stories are easier to write than poems, but I don’t think so.
At the beginning, I was afraid to try writing a poem. I tried to write
one about my favourite place beside a lake. But it was too hard to write
that poem! Then my teacher encouraged me to write a humorous poem
because I am always saying funny things. So I wrote a funny poem
about a donut. Later I decided to write a poem about a cat! Here it is.
Cat
I once saw a very small cat,
It was wearing a big yellow hat.
I jumped really high, and then I said quietly,
Don’t you think you look funny in that?

Return the Complete Jade to Zhao
During the Warring States Period, the King of Zhao got the invaluable jade
of Bian He. When the King of Qin learned about it, he offered Zhao fifteen
cities for the jade. The King of Zhao feared that they might get nothing in
return, yet if he refused, that Qin might attack Zhao. Lin Xiangru, who was
frank, brave, and intelligent, was sent to Qin with the jade.
The King of Qin was pleased when he saw the jade but he did not mention
the cities. Lin said, “Your Majesty, there is a tiny flaw on the jade. Could I show
it to you?” After he was handed the jade, Lin
stepped backward. With his back to a pillar, he
said, “You have no intention of giving us those
cities, so I’ve taken back the jade. If you use
force against me, I’ll smash my head and the jade
against this pillar.”
To save the jade, the King of Qin apologized,
and then showed Lin the cities on the map. But
Lin would not believe him anymore. He ordered

Brian: Let’s do an experiment. I fill a
jar with water. I cover the top with a
piece of cardboard and hold it there.
Then I turn the jar upside down and
take my hand off the cardboard.
Can you guess what will happen?
Danny: I think the floor will get wet.
We should do this experiment
outside, Brian.
Jenny: I think the cardboard will hold
the water.
Danny: I don’t think so.
Jenny: You think the water will pour
out, Danny. I think the water will
stay in the jar. Let’s test which
theory is correct.
Brian: Good idea, Jenny. That’s called
the scientific method.
Jenny: I am so sure of my theory that
Brian can do the experiment over
your head and I know you won’t
get wet.
Danny: Well, let’s try it!
Brian: Are you ready, Danny?
Danny: No! Wait! (He puts on a
raincoat and sits down.) Now I
think I’m ready.
Jenny: Brian, take your hand off the
cardboard.
Danny: No!
(Danny closes his eyes tightly, and
Brian takes his hand off the cardboard.
The water stays in the jar.)
Jenny: See, Danny!
Danny: How is that possible?
Brian: The force of the air keeps the
water in the jar. It is strong enough to
hold the water.
Danny: Wow!
Brian: So what have we discovered?
Jenny: We have discovered that the air
pressure helps the cardboard hold the
water in the jar.

Brian: Hi Danny. What do you have
there?
Danny: It’s a telescope. I told my
father that we were studying the
solar system. He said that I could
use his telescope. (He looks through
the telescope.) That’s funny! I can
see only a tiny circle of light.
Jenny: (She laughs.) You’re looking
through the wrong end, Danny! Try
looking through the other end.
(Danny turns the telescope around
and looks through it again.)
Danny: That’s better! But I still can’t
see any stars or planets.
Brian: You certainly can’t, Danny!

In Mexico, the butterflies always

forest, which is only 20 kilometres
Butterflies are beautiful. What do you know
about them?
wide. Here, as many as 230 million butterflies spend the winter. They can cover
some trees almost completely. The butterflies that return to the south are the
great-great grandchildren of the butterflies that left for the north. When they begin
to travel north in spring, the females lay eggs. They lay eggs on only one plant:
milkweed.
But in Mexico, people cut down the trees that the butterflies need to rest on
because they want more land for farming. In the United States and Canada,
farmers use chemicals that kill milkweed. This worries Dr. Taylor a lot.
Now things are improving. Mexico has begun to protect parts of its forests. The
United States and Canada have encouraged farmers to use fewer chemicals.
Scientists still don’t understand how the butterflies know when to fly south.
If they are even a few days late, they will freeze. And how do all the great-great
grandchildren find the same forest in Mexico every year? This is both puzzling
and interesting for many scientists.
There are many mysteries yet to be discovered by those interested in science.

When you build a house, you use a blueprint.
What’s a blueprint? In general, a blueprint is a
drawing that shows how to put a house together
with many different parts. DNA is the blueprint
of life.
But building a living thing is far more
complex than building a house. It takes millions
of years for nature to change the DNA in living
things to make them fit the world they live in.
This is the shape of DNA. Do you
think it’s magic?
How tall are you? What colour are your eyes? What size are your feet? All
these things are strongly influenced by your DNA before you are born!
DNA is fantastic!
• Except for some twins, every living thing has its own unique DNA.
• Some health problems can be caused by problems in your DNA. Scientists
can look for these problems and, sometimes, help you before you become sick. In
the future, scientists might be able to change your DNA.
• There are copies of your DNA in every part of your body. For example, your
finger has the same DNA as your hair.
• You have your own unique DNA, but
it repeats patterns from your parents’ DNA.
From your DNA, scientists can identify not
only you, but also people who are related
to you. Your parents and grandparents are
related to you, and you have their DNA.
When you have a grandson or granddaughter,
he or she will have your DNA.

Do you want to surprise your friends? Brian, Danny and I did an experiment
in science class this week. I suggest you try it, too! First, get a jar full of water
and a piece of cardboard. Cover the jar with the cardboard and turn the jar over.
Next, take your hand off. Can you guess what happens? The cardboard holds the
water in the jar! The air pressure pushing up on the cardboard is higher than that
of the water pushing down from inside the jar. The higher air pressure outside
the jar holds the cardboard in place.
Science is interesting. Don’t you think so?

Putting It All Together
The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System
The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) started its full-scale
work on July 31, 2020. As the world’s fourth navigation satellite system,
the BDS was independently constructed and operated by China.
BeiDou means “Big Dipper” in Chinese. In old days, people looked up
at the Big Dipper for direction when they got lost. Now, the BDS is there
to keep us safe and bring us convenience. It provides all-time, all-weather
and high-accuracy positioning, navigation and timing services to global
users.
China applies the principle that “the BDS is developed by China, and
dedicated to the world” to actively share BDS achievements. The related
products, technologies, and services have been applied in more than half of
countries around the world.
As the BDS joins hands with other navigation satellite systems, China
will work with all other countries, regions, and international organizations
to promote global satellite navigation development and make the BDS
better serve the world and benefit humanity.
Read the passage and answer the questions.

Lesson 31: A Movie or a Play
Ms. Cox always tries to find interesting information and
projects for her class to work on. She believes that students
learn best when they are interested in a topic.
Learning Tip
Theatre is a form of art that presents a story to a live audience in a specific
place. The performers may communicate with the audience through gesture,
speech, song, music or dance.
Ms. Cox: Yes, those
are all important.
What else is
needed?
Brian: We need someone to take care
of costumes, sound and music.
Ms. Cox: Very good! Maybe we can
do some research first. To do good
research, you need to ask good
questions. Here are a few: What are
some different kinds of movies and
plays? Have movies always been
made in the same way?
Danny: Hmmm… I have no
background in movie making! I
don’t know the answer to any of
those questions.
Ms. Cox: Don’t worry, Danny. That’s
what group work is for! OK, class.
Let’s get to work in groups. Do some
research, decide what you will make,
then divide up the tasks.
Ms. Cox: Today let’s talk about
movies and plays. Have you ever
seen a movie or a play in a theatre?
(Most students raise their hands.)
Ms. Cox: Most of you have seen
movies or plays in a theatre, but
have you ever been involved in
making a movie or a play?
(A few students raise their hands.)
Ms. Cox: Some of you have. Great!
Do you want to make one in class?
Students: (They are all excited.) Yes!
Ms. Cox: Excellent! What do you
think is needed to make a movie or
a play?
Jenny: A good script needs to be
written.
Danny: Good actors…
Steven: A good director to direct the
movie…

same group to make a movie or a play for this special film and theatre festival.
As a group, choose a topic and brainstorm the main plot.
Decide what each student in the group will do. You will need:
• One or two students to write the script.
• One student to be the director.
• One student to be the camera person
(only if you’re making a movie).
• One student for costumes.
• One or two to take care of sound and
music.
• Three or more actors and actresses.

Jenny, Brian and Danny are outside
the library. They have just finished
doing some research.
Danny: It’s hard to believe movies are
just over 100 years old.
Jenny: Yes. But like the Internet or
other similar technologies, movies
have had such a big effect on us.
Brian: I love watching movies. A
movie is really an amazing piece of
art and technology. I just found out
the very first movies were made in
France and Germany.
Jenny: That’s true. When movies
were first created, they were not
in colour. They were just moving
pictures. Do you know that for
those first movies, only a couple
of people would act in front of the
camera?
Danny: Wow, that’s interesting! Movie
making is so complex these days.
Thousands of people can be involved
in making a movie. And some
movies, like Titanic, can take years
to make and cost a lot of money.
Learning Tip
There are many types of movies: comedy, horror (scary), action,
cartoon, suspense (thriller), fantasy, documentary, romance, science fiction,
mystery, disaster, war, musical and more.
Jenny: Do you like Titanic, Danny?
Danny: No. I like action movies. I love
Bruce Lee and kung fu movies. I hope
to learn kung fu someday.
Jenny: I prefer science fiction. I learn a
lot of interesting things from science
fiction movies. What about you, Brian?
Brian: I like comedies. I especially like
Charlie Chaplin’s movies. He was a
great actor. Comedies make people
laugh and feel happy. I also like
cartoons.
Danny: Watching a great movie while
eating popcorn is a wonderful thing.

in class. It was so much fun!

fisherman, and Jenny was the fisherman’s wife. I will send you the photos we
took in class later.
Li Ming: Please do! I can’t wait to see them.
Jenny: Everyone in our group did a good job. Some research was done in order
to make the play. We learned about some good plays and famous playwrights!
Li Ming: I know William Shakespeare is a great playwright. I watched his
Hamlet last year.
Jenny: Yes, many famous works in English were written by him.
Li Ming: Are his works all tragedies? I prefer comedies.
Jenny: Actually, his early plays were mainly comedies and historical pieces. But
most of his famous works are tragedies. They are well known around the world.
Li Ming: We have some excellent playwrights and famous plays in China. Cao
Yu’s Thunderstorm and Lao She’s Teahouse have been on stage for many years
— and still are today.

Today we finished our two-week study of movies and plays. It was the best
two weeks, and we learned a lot.
When we began these lessons, all I knew was that movies and plays are fun
to watch. Like most people, I always focused on the actors or actresses. I
thought they were the most important people in the show. Now I know that
this is not true.
Actors are only a small part of a movie or a play. It can take hundreds of
people to make a movie or put on a play. We seldom think about the people
who work behind the scenes. But without them, making a movie or a play
would be almost impossible. Without their hard work, we would never get to
know so many great stories and stars!
For the group project, some of my classmates shot short movies. They all
did wonderful work. One group made a movie that was a comedy. Their
movie made the whole class laugh. They are talented
movie makers. My group performed a play called The
Fisherman and the Goldfish.
Ms. Cox was really happy with our projects. And
we really enjoyed learning about movies and plays.
Writing, creating, directing and acting in our own show
was an experience we will never forget.

People Behind the Scenes
Usually when a movie comes out, the actors get all the glory. But they are
only a small part of the movie-making process. Thousands of people work
behind the scenes to make a great movie. Without them, movies would not
be possible.
Director: Movie directors direct the movies. They are like the top
managers in an office or a factory. The directors choose the actors and tell
them how to perform their roles. They work with almost everyone in the
movie, telling them what to do and how to do it. The directors are supposed
to know everything that goes on in the movie, from music and costumes to
lights and sound.
Camera operator: Camera operators are experts at using movie cameras.
They work long hours, making sure the pictures and actors look really good
in every scene.
Costume designer: Costume designers are responsible for designing or
making costumes. Sometimes costume designers have to work late into the
night so that actors can have their clothes ready for the next day of filming.
Sound operator: Sound operators are in charge of production sound.
They record the dialogue between the actors on the movie set. Later, in
production, they add sound effects. They also mix music into the movie.
They make sure every sound in the movie is produced clearly and fits in
nicely.
Set designer: A movie set is the place where all the action happens in a
movie. Set designers work hard to build sets for the movie. Without them,
movies would not look as real.
II. Work in groups. Have an awards show like the Oscars.
Task tips: Choose one student to act as the host of the awards show. That student
will announce and give out the awards. To decide who should get the awards,
have a class vote. Here are some categories your class can vote on: best script,
best director, best actor and actress, best costume design, best set design, best
camera operator and best sound operator.

My name is Danielle. I’m in Grade 9 this
year, and I’m president of the student council at
my school. Most junior high schools in Canada
have a student council. Members of the councils
are chosen by students.
Student councils work to make schools
better places to learn. In the council, we share
our ideas, interests and concerns with teachers
and others. Sometimes, we plan school-wide
activities. In December, we decided to raise
I think we should all work for peace.
Each of us can make a difference.
money for an organization that provides food for poor people in our city. How did
we get the money? We organized a special basketball game in the school gym.
Lots of students and their parents came to watch. We sold tickets and, in the end,
we made about $300.
During student council meetings, we have to work together, but it’s not always
easy for us to reach an agreement. The students are from many different cultures.
We have different religions, wear different clothes or speak different languages at
home. Sometimes there are serious disputes. Anyway, we are all friends, so we try
hard to understand each other.
I think we should work together towards peace in our schools and in the world.
We need to learn about different countries and make friends with people from
other cultures.
A student council is a group of students that shares ideas, interests and
concerns with teachers and school principals. It raises funds for school-
wide activities, including social events, community projects and school
reforms.

• What should you do to get along with the people around you?
• How should you communicate with people who are doing things
you don’t like or understand?
To work towards a peaceful life, you should always try to develop good
relationships with the people around you. Be kind and help those in need. Do
this not only for family and friends, but also for the people who live in your
neighbourhood.
People in your community might have different ways of living and thinking.
This doesn’t mean that they’re wrong and you’re right. If everyone had the same
ideas, the world would be a boring place.
Today, in many cities, people usually lock their doors after work and don’t
see their neighbours much. Social interactions are often limited to a “Hi!” on
the street. However, there may be times when someone does something that
upsets you. If this happens, discuss the matter in a friendly way. This allows you
to express your ideas without damaging your relationship. Avoid arguments,
especially ones that judge the nature of the person rather than the actions. For
example, your neighbours are playing loud music while you try to fall asleep.
Should you politely suggest they lower the volume? Or should you angrily shout
at them? The first option is clearly better. By calmly examining any problems,
you create a relationship of mutual respect and understanding. After all, good
neighbours are better than distant relatives.

In the early twentieth century, people suffered
through many wars. When World War II was over, an
organization called the United Nations (the UN) was
formed to help countries talk about their problems
instead of fighting. That was in 1945.
Today there are 193 member states in the UN. The
headquarters of the UN is in New York City. The
head of the UN, chosen by all the member states, is
called the Secretary-General. The UN Security Council has fifteen members, five
of which are permanent members — China, France, Russia, the U.K. and the U.S.
Many times since 1945, the UN has sent armies to keep peace between two
fighting countries. It helps the situation, but sometimes it is not successful.
It is not always easy for the members to reach an agreement. Just imagine how
difficult it is to satisfy all 193 members! However, the UN is still the best way for
the world to solve its problems. Let’s hope that the great idea they had in 1945 to
prevent war will last forever.
Words — even angry words — are always better than war!
Besides the Security Council, there are other important parts of the
UN. For example, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) is a specialized agency. One of its jobs is to protect
important cultural sites. It has recognized many famous places in China. Can
you name some of these places?

Jenny: What do you have to say about

Danny: Some of our teammates had to
go to the Old Age Home and help the
elders that morning. Everyone else
agreed on the new time. I tried to let
Steven know.
Steven: But I didn’t see the message!
Jenny: Steven, I think Danny really

Danny: (Danny looks at Steven.) Well,
next time, I guess I will go to you
directly. I’m sorry you missed the
game.
Steven: Well, I didn’t check my

them can be solved. We all want peace rather than fighting.

Dear Li Ming,
Did you ever have a fight with a good friend? It is a really
bad feeling if friends don’t talk to each other for a couple of
days. That’s how I felt last week.
You see, I had a big fight with Steven. He and I play on the same basketball
team. Our last game was moved to an earlier time, but Steven didn’t get
my message, so of course he missed the game. He was angry. He threw his
basketball, and it hit me. Steven and I were ready to beat each other!
Thanks to Jenny, everything is OK now. We held a meeting yesterday. We had a
good talk and solved our problems. We said sorry to each other.
I’m happy we are friends again. Friendship is important, and we should not
fight over such a small matter.

Putting It All Together

Get Together and Talk Things Over!
Sometimes even best friends have fights. They disagree with each other
and begin to argue. Sometimes they even stop talking to each other. If they are
really good friends, though, they will try to fix things up. There are usually two
sides to every story, so it is helpful if you can get someone else to listen to both
sides.
Maybe you have a good friend who knows both of you. You can ask him or
her to have a meeting with you and listen to what each of you has to say. The
main thing is for the two of you to get together and talk things over.
When you get together, try not to be angry. Listen to what your friend has
to say. Then tell your point of view. You might be surprised. Sometimes all it
takes is talking together to work things out. After all, a disagreement is just
that. You might even forget the whole thing. You might even make friends with
your old friend all over again!

Brian: You are smart. But did you

Chinatown?
Li Ming: Really? Did you have a

Brian: Yes. We bought a big Christmas
tree, some decorations and gifts.
I really enjoyed the lunch we had
there. I had a bowl of noodles, and I
used chopsticks and a spoon instead
of a fork and a knife.
Jenny: My parents love to have lunch

Li Ming: Do they speak Chinese there?

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Have you ever heard these old sayings? Sayings are an important part of the
language and culture of every society. Although sayings are usually simple and
easy to remember, they are full of deep meaning. They come from the experience
of generations of people, and from different walks of life. Take a look at these
sayings:
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Well begun is half done.
Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish.
Actions speak louder than words.
Many hands make light work.
These sayings help people understand the world and form good habits, or
encourage people to work hard and as a team. Whether the sayings are in Chinese,
English, or any other language, they share something in common.
Do you know the English for the
Chinese saying “ai wu ji wu”? That’s
“Love me, love my dog”. And “Every
dog has his day” is similar to the
Chinese saying “shi nian he dong, shi
nian he xi”. Although Chinese sayings
use images of animals or things other
than dogs, the meanings are almost the

• In your opinion, what are good manners?
• Do you think cultures shape manners?
My name is Wu Zhou. I have lived in Canada for
twenty-three years. In Canada, I call myself Joe Wu.
Joe is an English name that sounds like Zhou.
Though I have lived here for a long time, I still
don’t feel Canadian. This is probably because North
American manners and Chinese manners are so
different.
In China, being modest is a virtue. If someone
praises you and says that your English is excellent,
you should be modest and say, “No, no. My English
is still poor.” But in North America, this is usually
a sign of being weak and not confident. You should
just say, “Thank you.”
I have many good friends in
Canada, though Canadian
culture is different from
Chinese culture.
In Canada, people only ask children about their age. It’s not polite to ask an
adult’s age. They think it is private. But this is common in many places in China.
In both China and North America, it is polite to offer an elderly person a seat
on the bus. In North America, however, an elderly person may feel embarrassed
about being offered a seat.
When Chinese people eat out in restaurants, they may take turns paying for the
meal. In Canada, however, people often share the cost of a meal.
In China, if your guests have no food on their plates, it’s polite to put food on
their plates. In Canada, you pass food to guests, but you don’t usually put food on
their plates.
In China, people seldom give extra money to waiters, waitresses, taxi drivers or

Canada is home to many
cultures. Three percent of all
Canadians are First Nations
people. The people of the First
Nations were there before other
people came to North America.
Now more than half of Canadians
have British or French blood.
The rest are from every part of
the world: Asia, Africa, Central
In Canada, people from many cultures live together.
America, South America, Australia and other European countries.
Canada became a country in 1867, and for more than a hundred years, most
immigrants in the country were from Europe. In the 1970s and 1980s, that
changed. According to a survey, the number of European immigrants dropped
from 90 percent to 25 percent, and the number of Asian immigrants rose from 3
percent to 48 percent.
Although Canada has two official languages — English and French, most
Canadians do not speak both. Many immigrants speak two languages — the
language of their first country and English or French. Canada welcomes cultural
differences in the people who live there.
So what is a Canadian? That’s a little hard to describe. Canada does not have
one culture — it has many. It is important that people from different cultures can
live together in one country.
Is there a Canadian food? Not really. Is there a Canadian kind of music? No.
Is there a Canadian way of understanding the world? Yes. It’s that people should
respect and accept one another and help one another. It’s important to keep
different languages, religions and customs alive.

flowers.
Follow the rules of your host’s home.
Do what your host asks you to do.
Don’t be noisy, especially at bedtime.

Dear Li Ming,
A good host always tries to make
guests feel welcome. Here are some
tips for you.
Tidy up your house before your guest
arrives.
Open the door for your guest and
hang up his coat. It will make him feel
welcome.
Offer your guest something to drink or

Don’t ask your guest to go to the
kitchen and serve himself! Serve your
guest at the table.
Make him feel at home. Talk to your
guest. That’s why you invited him.
Don’t turn on the television. It’s OK
in China, but it’s considered rude in
Western cultures.

Dear Danny,
How are you these days? Are you ready for Christmas?
My Australian pen pal, Bruce, and his father, came to visit me the day before
yesterday. Last night, my parents invited them to our home for dinner. At the
end of the meal, Mr. Bradshaw opened a box of cookies he had brought from
home. He then passed the box to everyone. We each took a cookie and ate it.
The cookie tasted like chalk to me! But in good Chinese tradition, I told Mr.
Bradshaw that I enjoyed it.
At the airport today, Mr. Bradshaw gave me a big box of the same cookies as a
gift. I don’t know what we’ll do with them.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Li Ming
Hi Li Ming,
I am so busy with Christmas these days.
I couldn’t help but laugh when I read your e-mail. I can imagine your reaction
when you received the cookies. Maybe you can send them to me. I love all kinds
of cookies. But I think you were polite to react that way. I love Chinese culture.
I wish everyone here, especially Debbie, could learn some Chinese manners.
Debbie dreams of being a police officer. She once said that she hoped to have a
toy gun as a Christmas gift, so I bought one for her. But when I gave it to her, she
said she wanted a doll! She changes her mind so quickly!
Though I was a little hurt, I still enjoyed Christmas very much. We had a lot
of fun. We are planning another trip to Chinatown during the Spring Festival. I
love festivals.

Table Manners
What are some good manners in your hometown? What else do you know
about table manners? Write about it.
Example:
• In my hometown, it’s polite to serve food to our guests.
• It’s rude to put your elbows on the table in my city.
• Talking when you have food in your mouth is really rude.
• It’s not polite to use a toothpick at the table.
All societies have customs about how
to eat politely. In English, we call these
customs “table manners”. Based on culture
and location, table manners can be quite
different from place to place. It’s very
interesting! Here are some examples:
• In some cultures, it’s polite to serve
food to guests, while in other cultures,
people don’t do this because it makes the guests feel like they are being
forced to eat.
• In most East Asian countries, people use chopsticks at the table. In
Western countries, people usually eat with a knife and a fork. Do you know
that in some places people simply use their hands to eat? And in some
places, only their right hand?
• In Russia, it’s polite to leave a bit of food on your plate to show the host
that there was plenty to eat. But in India, finishing the food on your plate is
considered polite. It means you enjoyed the food.
Throughout the world, you will find many different table manners and
customs. So when you visit another place or another country, take the time
to learn the local customs and manners. Remember, “When in Rome, do as
the Romans do”.

Ms. Liu: Hi class! We have an interesting topic for

you get along with others in school or at home?
Li Ming: I think I’m doing well. I have many friends.
Wang Mei: I have many friends, too. We have a lot of
fun together.
Ms. Liu: Do you always get along well with your
friends?
Wang Mei: Well, not always… Sometimes friends have misunderstandings.
Sometimes a friend really hurts you without realizing it.
Li Ming: That’s true. Friendship requires
good communication.
Ms. Liu: Very good point. If we can’t
communicate well, we can hardly get
along with our friends. It’s the same
with family relationships.
Yang Hao: I guess that people who know
how to communicate well with others
are happier and more satisfied with their
lives. They are more likely to succeed in
their jobs.
Ms. Liu: Exactly! That’s why communication is very important. It’s always
better to get things out in the open — talk about a problem, come to a solution
or move on. Bad feelings like hate and anger can make you seriously ill. This
week we’ll talk more about communication. Hopefully, we’ll all learn to get
along better with each other!

Do you have many friends? Do you have fun together? Do you feel
comfortable when talking to others? Have you ever found it hard to make new
friends? Here are some tips for good interpersonal communication:
● Remember other people’s names. Make a great effort to do this when you
first meet someone new. Then when you meet again, you will easily make that
person feel comfortable if you remember his or her name. It shows you care.
● Smile. Make sure you smile and greet others in a friendly way, especially
the first time you meet them. Smiling can be a passport to good communication.
● Find a proper topic. Talk about the weather, sports or news. You can
also ask questions or tell jokes. The main thing is to find a topic you are both
interested in.
● Be a good listener. Good listeners show others that they are interested
in the conversation. People will be happy to talk to you if you are listening
carefully. One simple way to show you are a good listener is to make eye
contact.
● Be honest. Tell people the truth. No one wants to waste time talking to
someone who is not honest.
● Keep your promises. Try
not to be late. If you set a time
to meet your friends, do your
best to be on time. If you have
to change your plan or cancel
it, let your friends know ahead
of time. People will trust those
who always keep their promises.

Dear Lost Girl,
Many people have had the same experience as you.
Sometimes it’s pretty hard to tell what’s wrong
in a friendship. Try writing to your friend or you
can ask another friend for help. If neither of these
things works, just leave your friend alone. She may
need some time to cool down and think about the
situation herself.
Dear Sue,
There is a problem between me and my good friend. We used
to study and play together, but ever since last Friday, she
hasn’t spoken to me. I considered all the things that could be
wrong, but I still can’t figure out what the problem is. I tried
to call her, but she didn’t answer. What should I do?
A Lost Girl
If you figure out what the problem is, think about it. Did you really hurt
your friend? If yes, go directly to her and say sorry. Maybe it was just a big
misunderstanding.
If your friend wants to end the friendship, there’s nothing you can do about
it. Both of you can move on and find new friends. But even if you’re not
friends anymore, you should still be friendly. Say hi to her when you pass her
at school. Maybe one day she will realize what a good friend you are.

Students often gather together in small, closed groups. If you are not part of a
group, it can be difficult for you to be accepted. This is especially true if you can’t
speak to the members of the group in their language.
This was the situation Sam faced each day as he went to class. Sam and his
family moved to France last month. Before he arrived, he knew there would be
many difficulties. But they were even worse than he imagined.
Every lunch hour, after arriving at his new school, Sam sat alone in the dining
hall. He looked at all the different groups of students around him. But he had no
way to let them know that he was a good person. He simply couldn’t find the right
words to reach them.
Sam knew he had to find a way to change the situation. Somehow, he had
to adapt to this new environment. He did a little research on the Internet and
discovered that smiling is a universal language — it is understood everywhere.
One morning, as Sam was walking by a group of students, he smiled at them. A
boy in the group smiled back at him. For Sam, that was a good beginning. Later,
he noticed the boy coming towards him in the hall with a warm smile on his face.
Sam returned the smile.
Soon the boy asked Sam to join him and his group of friends for lunch.
Although Sam wasn’t able to say much in French, everyone smiled and laughed.
Before he knew it, Sam had
a group of friends, and they
all wanted to help him learn
French.
That day he experienced
the power of a smile.

“OK class,” says Ms. Liu. “It’s time for our group project. Let’s get to work!”
Yi Han is the leader of one group. She is not looking forward to working with
her group because a boy named Li Tian is always absent from the group meetings.
He doesn’t follow the rules, and he refuses to do any work. This slows the whole
group down.
Yi Han considers telling Ms. Liu about
these problems, but she doesn’t want to get
Li Tian in trouble. Instead, she decides to
talk to him and find out what the problem
is. She says, “Everyone is working hard
on our project. But so far, you have done
nothing. Is there something wrong?”
Li Tian is quiet for a few seconds, and
finally says, “It’s not that I don’t want to be in the group. Sometimes, I don’t
really understand the things we’re learning. I know it’s not fair, but I don’t want
to say something stupid, so I do nothing.”
Now Yi Han understands. Li Tian isn’t lazy — he just needs help! “From now
on,” she says, “I will do my best to help you feel more confident. Then you can
do your share, and it will be fair for
everyone.” “Thank you! I’ll try hard to
do my part,” says Li Tian.

Have you ever had any problems while
working in a group? How did you solve
them? Does communication play an
important role? Discuss it in your group.

A group works well if every member works hard. To make a group
work well, it’s best to give each member a role. Take a group of four as
an example. In the group, there should be an organizer, a recorder, a
speaker and a rule keeper. Then each member can do his/her share.

Dear Diary,
This week I had an embarrassing moment at a bookstore. I ran into an
old friend named Gao Yuan. When he tapped me on the shoulder and
said my name, I couldn’t figure out who he was. He seemed familiar but
I forgot his name. I felt awful. We chatted for a while. Finally I had to
admit that I couldn’t remember his name. Before I could say sorry, he
said he had to go and waved goodbye.
I felt bad, so I talked with Wang Mei about it. She said that she once
had a similar experience. She forgot an old friend’s name when that
friend returned to China after many years abroad. Wang Mei was a little
embarrassed, too, but her friend didn’t mind. She just reminded Wang
Mei of her name and they had a good, long chat.
After talking to Wang Mei, I felt better. I called Gao Yuan that evening.
He was happy to hear from me, and we had a good conversation. We also
made plans to play ping-pong together next weekend.
Yay, I got back an old friend!

You may not feel like ________ with anyone at a party, but it is rude to just sit in

Putting It All Together
I. Read the passage and answer the questions.
It is useful to learn how to make small talk. It is an important social skill.
It helps to make people feel relaxed and start a conversation when they
meet for the first time.
The topics for small talk are different in different countries. But usually
the topics are general rather than personal. In the U.S., people sometimes
talk about the weather when they make small talk. “It’s a nice day today,
isn’t it?” This kind of questions helps you begin a conversation because
1. Why is small talk an important social skill?
______________________________________________________________
2. Why is the weather a good topic for small talk?
______________________________________________________________
3. What is a good way to make small talk?

reply to.
Next time when you want to make small
talk, turn a statement into a question. You are

Sometimes, my friend, we say things,
That we do not mean to say.
So we had a fight,
Because of the words I said today.
I remember once, when we were small,
You helped when I was sad.
You stayed and played with me,
In good times and in bad.
And so, my friend, I’m sorry.
When we fight, we never win.
Let’s meet and talk it over,
And let’s be friends again.
My mum says communication,
And talking is the way.
So here’s my hand of friendship.
Will you be my friend today?

airplane. What do you want to be?
Brian: I want to be a boss and manage a big company. I could make a lot of
money.
Jenny: Well, I don’t doubt you would be a good boss, but I don’t think wealth
is the most important thing in life. We should do things we enjoy. You like
painting, and you are good at it.
Brian: That’s true. Perhaps I can be a painter. How about you, Steven?
Steven: Me? I’d like to be a transportation engineer. I would invent things that
help improve the environment. Maybe I could invent a solar-powered plane.
Kate: That’s a cool idea! I think I would enjoy being a cook. I love cooking, and I
like creating new dishes myself.
Danny: Great! I’ll go to your restaurant! As for me, I’m going to choose the most
fun and exciting job in the

Brian: Astronauts need to know

Dear Tired Girl,
Sorry to hear about your trouble. You are such a busy kid!
I think you should take some time to think carefully about your plan. You
can list all the things you need to do each week in a notebook. Can you do
all of these things and get enough rest to stay healthy? If not, decide what
things must be done and what can be dropped from your list.
Here are some other tips that may help you:
Dear Sue,
I have so many things to do every day. Besides my schoolwork every
weekday, I go to a chess club twice a week. I often have to help my younger
cousin. She just started primary school and has some difficulties in maths.
On top of all that, I have classes in dance, piano, art… I like doing lots of
different things, but I’m so busy! Yesterday, I fell asleep during class. I was
so embarrassed!
What should I do? Can you help me?

Good morning. I’m very happy to be here

your classrooms and read the notes you left for
one another. Some of them made me laugh and
some almost brought tears to my eyes. All of you
have some great memories of this period of your
life, and so do I!
Time has gone by quickly. Three years have
already passed. You had valuable experiences in the past and you have bright
futures ahead of you. I know all of you have your own dreams. Whatever you
want to be, you need to work hard to achieve it. And I do think you will.
Sometimes life is not easy. At times it can be very hard. No matter how high
you rise, there will be times when you fall down. When this happens, remember
this: there is no such thing as true failure. Failure is an opportunity to try
something new. Pick yourself up and take a new road. Remember to be brave.
Remember to be your best. And always remember that you have your family and
friends to support you.

Dear Diary,
Guess what? I met a famous astronaut! I have
always wanted to be an astronaut. Imagine how
I felt when I saw Jack Hall in the mall. He was
the first Canadian astronaut in space, and now, here he was in
Edmonton!
At first I was nervous, but finally I decided to introduce myself. I
said hello, and he immediately held out his hand to me. When he
shook my hand, I almost fainted! I told him that he was my hero
and that I wanted to be an astronaut someday. He invited me to
have a cup of tea with him. Can you believe it?
We sat and talked for half an hour. I asked him how he became an
astronaut. He said that he dreamed of visiting space when he was
young. To get ready, he studied hard in school. After he graduated
from university, he became a pilot. Twelve years later, he got a
job with the Canadian Space Agency. After so many years of hard
work, his big chance arrived!
I asked him for advice on how to become an astronaut. “Well,”
he replied, “it’s not easy. You have to get a good education and
keep your eye on your goal.” Now I see how important it is to do
well in school. Sometimes I don’t work hard, but in the future, I
definitely will!

Grammar
情态动词（Modal Verbs）
在八年级上册，我们已经对情态动词may, might, will, would的用法进行了归纳。can, could,
need, should, must也是常见的情态动词，现就其用法归纳总结如下：
1. can/could 能，可能，可以 （can多用于指现在或将来，could多用于指过去）
1) 表示能力，相当于be able to。例如：
I can make noodles myself.
Sorry, I can’t follow you. Please say that again.
Can people prevent certain accidents?
The girl could speak English when she was a child.
The street was icy — the car couldn’t stop in time.
How could the man pull a train with his teeth!
2）表示可能。例如：
Smoking can cause diseases of the lungs.
Some of the disadvantages can become real problems if we don’t take care.
This could be a class project!
can/could用在否定句和疑问句中多表示猜测。例如:
The boy can’t be so careless.
There is someone outside. Who can it be?
It couldn’t be true.
Could it be Brian?
Where could Danny be at that time?
3) 表示允许。例如：
Can I speak to Jenny?
Can you send me a photo of yourself?
You can go.
could代替can, 语气显得更加委婉。例如：
Could you open the door for me, please?
Could you speak more loudly?
Could I help you?
2. should 应当，应该
1）表示劝告、建议。例如：
We should go to the hospital right now.
As a student, you should never smoke.
You shouldn’t be so careless.
185
2) 表示征求同意或征询意见，用于主语为第一人称的疑问句。例如：
Should I open the window?
When should we have the meeting?
What should I do to be a polite guest?
3. need 必要，需要（作情态动词时只用于否定句和疑问句）
1) 用在否定句中。例如：
Danny, you needn’t get up so early.
We needn’t worry about him.
2) 用在疑问句中，肯定回答一般用must, 否定回答一般用need not。例如：
— Need we eat foods from each food group? — Yes, you must.
— Need the guests leave the place right away? — No, they needn’t.
注意：
need在肯定句中通常用作实义动词，有人称和数的变化。例如：
He needs to take an X-ray.
4. must 必须，应该
1) 表示必须。例如：
In a poem, every word must have power and meaning.
We must do everything carefully.
2) 在否定句中表示不许。 例如：
Cars mustn’t be parked here.
You mustn’t lend the book to others.
3) 表示推测，用在肯定句中，意为“一定”，“准是”。例如：
You must be tired after the long walk.
He thought it must be the king’s musicians passing by.
注意：
回答带有must 的一般疑问句时，否定回答常用need not, 而不用must not。例如：
— Must the students be back by four o’clock?
— Yes, they must. (No, they needn’t.)
状语从句（Adverbial Clause）
到目前为止，我们学习了because, when, before, after, as, if, although等连词引导的状语从句。
现在归纳总结如下：
连 词
示 例
because（因为，由于）
People call them Kiwis because they make the sound: keee-weee.
The kitchen is dangerous because there are many glass objects.
原因状语从句
186
连 词

before (在……以前)

Switzerland.
as (一边……一边；
当……时候；随着)
I thought about it as I walked to school and later as I walked home.
Jane cheers as her son runs and kicks the ball.

时间状语从句
连 词
从句类型
示 例

条件状语从句

(虽然)
让步状语从句

Canadian.

(以便)
目的状语从句

so… that
(如此……
以至于)
结果状语从句
The spirit was so happy with the woodcutter’s honesty that she
gave him the other two axes as presents.
其他状语从句
定语从句（Attributive Clause）
定语从句在复合句中作定语，修饰主句中的名词或代词，被修饰的名词或者代词称为先行
词，定语从句通常位于先行词之后，由关系词引导。初中阶段我们要能辨认并理解由that, which,
who等关系代词引导的定语从句。which指代物，who指代人，that既可指物也可指人。that或
which在从句中作宾语时可以省略。
关系代词
示例（句中斜体词为先行词）
that
Bethune invented tools that/which remain in use today.
We should do things (that/which) we like.
which
He is reading a book which/that was written by their teacher.
The film (which/that) we saw last night was wonderful.
who
Helen did her best to help others in the community who/that were deaf or blind.
We never really hear about all these people who/that work behind the camera.
187
过去进行时（Past Continuous Tense）
过去进行时态表示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间内进行或发生的动作。
1. 过去进行时的构成
过去进行时的构成: was/were + v-ing。过去进行时常与表示过去的时间状语连用（当上下文
有时间暗示时，也可省去时间状语）。例如：
We were having supper when the phone rang.
The giant saw that more children were crawling through a hole in the wall.
We were watching TV from seven to nine last night.
What was he doing in the countryside all day last Sunday?
2. 过去进行时的用法
1) 表示在过去某个时间点正在发生的事情。时间点可以用介词短语、副词或从句来表示，
也可由上下语境暗示。例如：
What was she doing at nine o’clock yesterday? (介词短语表示时间点)
When I saw him, he was watering his flowers in his garden. (when从句表示时间点)
2) 在复合句中，如果主要动作和背景动作都是延续的或同时发生的，那么主、从句的动词
都可以用过去进行时。例如：
While he was waiting for the bus, he was reading a newspaper. (两个动作都是延续的)
He was cleaning his car while I was cooking. (两个动作同时进行)
专有名词（Proper Nouns）
专有名词表示人、机构、场所等特有的名称。例如：
1. 人名：Helen, Einstein, Danny, Jenny, Li Ming
2. 地名：Switzerland, Princeton, Europe, Lanzhou
3. 星期、月份：Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, January, February, March
4. 节日：Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, May Day, the Spring Festival
5. 机构：the United Nations, Princeton University
注意：
专有名词前一般不加冠词, 但下列情况须加定冠词the。
1. 在江、河、湖、海等专有名词前：the Yellow River, the Rockies
2. 普通名词构成的专有名词前：the Silk Road, the Lanzhou Zhongshan Bridge
3. 在复数姓氏、朝代的专有名词前：the Smiths，the Ming Dynasty
宾语补足语（Object Complements）
在八年级上册，我们已经学习了简单句的五种基本句型，并接触了宾语补足语。宾语补足
语用于补充说明宾语，通常由形容词、名词、副词、介词短语、v-ing、动词不定式等担任。动
词不定式作宾语补足语时是否带to，取决于所跟动词。动词是tell, want, ask, advise, order, know,
188
consider等时，接带to的不定式作宾语补足语；动词是make, let, have, see, watch, hear等时，接不
带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语。例如：
The good news made them happy.
We consider Ms. Liu a good teacher.
Jane likes to watch her son play soccer.
The doctor advised her to stay in bed for two days.
Ms. Liu asked us to make crossword puzzles of our heroes.
She made her hair stand up with the comb.
The Internet can be a useful tool, but don’t let it take up all of your time.
连词（Conjunctions）
连词是一种虚词，用来连接单词、短语、从句或句子，不能独立作句子成分。我们已学过
的and, but, or, so, however等都为并列连词，用于表示并列、转折、选择等关系。例如：
My family and friends will come and watch me play.
The Spring Festival is usually in January or February.
I asked for nothing and let it go.
You can ride a camel in the Sahara Desert or walk in the ancient markets in Cairo.
It helps the situation, but sometimes it is not successful.
The giant made a decision and went out to his garden.
并列连词可以连接简单句构成并列句。并列句常见结构是：简单句 + 并列连词 + 简单句。
我们称这种简单句为分句，连词前一般用逗号（也可以不用）。例如：
I was quite nervous at first, but I felt relaxed later.
I am sending you the puzzle and you can try to guess who it is.
One of her teeth was rotten, so she had to go to the dentist.
It will be hard for them, but try explaining how important it is for their health.
如果简单句间的关系不很紧密，并列连词可单独引导一个句子。例如：
Ms. Cox was really happy with our projects. And we were really happy that we learned about
theatre through making a theatre play.
Just imagine how difficult it is to satisfy all 193 members! However, the UN is still the best way
for the world to solve its problems.
