Reading -- The Big Move
I found my old diary today. I wrote this when I first moved to China. At that
time, I didn’t understand things here. But thanks to Liu Chang, I soon got used to
living in China.
Dear Diary,
Guess where I am. I am in a new country — China! Things are
very interesting, but I am having some problems.
When I arrived at the airport, I was very excited. Then, I
looked at the signs. I couldn’t read them!
I was so confused.
As soon as I went to a restaurant, I had another problem:
eating! My first Chinese meal was very delicious, but I had trouble
eating it. There were no forks on the table, only chopsticks. It
was my first time eating with chopsticks. I dropped food on the table. Nobody laughed at
me, but I felt embarrassed.
Before my first class at school, I was so nervous! I was too shy to talk to anyone.
While I was standing outside, a boy came up to me. He introduced himself. He could
speak English! After I talked with him, I felt better. He told me many things about life
here in China. In fact, now we are friends! My new friend’s name is Liu Chang.

In the morning, I was very happy because today was my first day

pleased. But when I entered the classroom, I couldn’t find my best
friend. I was worried about him because he was never absent from
school. After my teacher told us about him, I knew that he moved to
another city and went to a new school. I felt very sorry to hear that.
I hope he will get used to the new teachers and classmates as soon as

Reading -- Online School
What does the word “online” mean to you? For most students, it means that
they can use the Internet to find information, send e-mails, or chat with friends. But
for some young people, it means so much more. They use online schools to get an
education. Read the following story to find out how.
Wang Huansheng is a young man with a physical handicap. He
uses a wheelchair because he can’t walk. When he was seven years
old, he became ill. He lost the ability to walk. At first, he tried to
go to school like everyone else. But it was hard for him to travel
to and from school. His family did not know what to do.
One day, his mother read some information in a newspaper about an online school. It
was a free school for handicapped children like Wang Huansheng.
Now Wang Huansheng takes online classes. Online classes
are very convenient for him. He does not have to travel between
home and school any more. The less time he uses to travel, the
more time he can spend studying. Wang Huansheng uses the
Internet to learn different subjects. He can also communicate with his teachers and
hand in homework online.
Sometimes, he feels lonely because he has no friends to talk to. But he is learning
how to make new friends on the Internet.
“Online” classes are very special to young people like Wang Huansheng. The
Internet helps them get a good education even though they are handicapped.

Before Reading
Have you ever been to the Forbidden City? Talk about what you know
about it with your partner.
Reading -- The Forbidden City
The tour began in the morning. My family and I were lucky to have a good tour
guide. She could speak English well. She also knew many interesting facts about
the palace. To begin with, she explained that the palace is called the Forbidden City
because no common people could enter it for about five hundred years. But today,
the Palace Museum is open to over a million visitors each year.
It is hard to believe, but our tour guide also told us that the Forbidden City is
the world’s largest palace. Actually, I think this might be true because she said that
there are nine thousand, nine hundred, and ninety-nine rooms in the Forbidden City!
Why not ten thousand? I asked the same question. Our tour guide explained that
the emperor did not want to make “Heaven” angry. I guess ten thousand is a special
number for Chinese people.
Another interesting thing about the palace is its wall. The palace is surrounded
by a wall. The wall is ten meters high. And the wall is surrounded by a small canal of
water. The canal is fifty-two meters wide. The water goes all around the Forbidden
City. I asked the tour guide why these things had been built. She said that there had
been many wars at that time. So the emperors wanted to build a safe place to live
during the wars.
There are so many interesting things to write about. I will never forget my visit
to one of UNESCO’s world heritage sites — the Forbidden City!

A baby learns about the world through the five senses: his eyes,
ears, fingers, nose, and tongue. He sees his parents. They look big to
him. He hears a song. It sounds beautiful. He touches a pillow. It feels
soft. He smells food. It smells good. He eats food. It tastes good.
Wait! Food smells good, and food tastes good, too. Do our noses
and tongues do the same thing? Not really. Let’s look more closely at noses and
tongues. A person’s nose can smell many different things. Try this test. Close your
eyes and tell your friend to put something right under your nose. Now smell it. Can
you tell what it is? Mostly, yes. Our noses are very smart. Most people can smell
thousands of different things. For example, when you smell a rose, you know it
smells different from other flowers.
What about our tongues? A person’s tongue is not as smart as his nose. In the
past, we thought we could only taste four different flavors such as sweet, sour, salty,
and bitter. Some food tastes like sugar or lemons. Other food can taste like salt or
bitter medicine. Recently, however, scientists found out about a
fifth taste. The fifth taste is hard to describe. It’s the taste in meat. A
food like cheese also has this taste.
Why do foods have different flavors? All candy tastes sweet, but
not all candy tastes the same. We use our noses and tongues at the
same time. Thus, grape candy tastes different from orange candy.

Before Reading

Talk about them with your partner.
Reading -- A Special Machine
The Flowbee was invented in the late 1980s. What is it? It is a special kind of
machine. It cuts hair with little mess. Was it invented by a barber? No! The Flowbee
was made by an American man who built things with wood.
In 1987, Rick Hunt was working in his wood shop. A
lot of wood was cut in the shop, so little pieces of wood were
everywhere. Pieces of wood were on the ground, on Hunt’s shirt,
and even in his hair. The shop had a big vacuum for cleaning.
Hunt used it to clean not only the shop, but also himself. The
pieces of wood were easily sucked from his clothes and his hair. As Hunt’s hair was
cleaned by the vacuum, he got an idea. “This would be a good way to cut hair with
less mess,” he thought.
Some special parts were added to a common vacuum. In this
way, the first Flowbees were built. Those first Flowbees were sold
out of Hunt’s home. Then, a fall festival was held near Hunt’s
home. He took all of his Flowbees there, and a lot of people
bought them. Next, Hunt went on television with the Flowbee.
More and more Flowbees were sold.
More than a million Flowbees were sold in America over the next ten years.
Today, this interesting machine is sold to people around the world. Hunt’s clever
way to cut hair really works. Sometimes great ideas come from surprising places.

Share your ideas with your partner.
Reading -- The World of Nature
Many people call nature around us “mother nature.”
Have you ever thought about why? It is because nature is
like our mother. It is always taking care of us. When you
are cold, the sun can keep you warm. When you are hungry,
the ground can give you food. And in many more ways,
nature always gives us what we need.
On the other hand, nature is sometimes like our enemy. Droughts can dry up all
the water in a large area. Strong storms can harm buildings and destroy crops. These
things happen because man has slowly broken the balance in nature.
Global warming is one example. Scientists say that the earth is getting warmer
and warmer. Humans are the main cause behind global warming. Every day we
drive hundreds of millions of cars and use machines. They create a lot of gases. These
gases keep the sun’s heat from escaping. It causes a greenhouse effect. As a result,
the earth is getting warmer year by year. What is the result?
Some scientists say that storms will become stronger
because of global warming. In many places around the
world, the deserts will get larger. Some plants may die out
because of the warmer weather. The number of harmful
insects will increase. They will carry many kinds of disease.
As you can see, it is important for humans to
understand the balance of nature. We must not do anything to upset this balance.
Otherwise, “mother nature” will no longer be so kind. Nature still wants to take good
care of us. Now it’s time for us to take care of nature.

Reading -- A Volunteer
Mom, you’ve been a volunteer, haven’t you? I think I want to
volunteer somewhere, too. I’m old enough to do it, don’t you think?
Sure you are, Susan. It’s a great idea. I
used to be a volunteer in our hometown in
America for many years. I have also done
this in other countries, too.
Which other countries have you been a
volunteer in?
Well, I have been a volunteer in several countries in Africa. Because
we live in China now, I also do volunteer work here. Since last
year, I have helped at both the local hospital and an elementary
school.
What kind of volunteer work did you do in America?
I worked in schools and nursing homes. Also, I helped any of our
neighbors who needed help. There are so many things which you
can do to help people.
Do they pay you for volunteer work?
No, Susan. A volunteer is a person who does work without being
paid for it. We help people in order to show them our love and
kindness. We feel good when we are showing kindness to others.
What can I do?
I have already seen some jobs which are suitable for you at the local
hospital. Let me talk to some of the nurses right now.
Thank you, Mom. I can’t wait to start.

Reading -- Earth Day
Have you ever heard of Earth Day? On Earth Day,
we think about life on our beautiful planet. People
celebrate Earth Day on April 22 of every year. That is the
middle of spring, so it is a good time for planting trees
and flowers. Many people plant things in honor of Earth
Day. Some people clean up garbage. At school on Earth
Day, students learn about helping the earth. Teachers often talk about pollution.
Students learn about reducing pollution.
Do you know when it started? The first Earth Day was celebrated by 20 million
people that came from thousands of schools and hundreds of communities across
America on April 22, 1970. The 30th anniversary of Earth Day was in 2000. At that
time, important people from many countries gathered together and wrote a paper.
It says our planet is in trouble. We can fix it, however. We just need to do certain
things. We must think about our planet every day. Also, we should remember Earth
Day every year.
Today, many countries do things in honor of Earth Day. Do
you want to do something for Earth Day, too? Here are some
things we can do. First, plant new trees. Second, don’t throw
cans or paper on the ground. Instead, pick up garbage that is on
the ground. Third, save water. Fourth, turn off the lights that we
are not using. It’s not that difficult to help. Let’s think of every day as Earth Day.

Reading -- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Many years ago, people never thought about buying drinking
water. But today, millions of people must buy drinking water
because clean water is getting hard to find. This is just one
example of a huge problem. There aren’t enough resources left —
trees, water, oil, fish, animals, or clean air for our future. If we
continue to waste these natural resources, our life will get much
more difficult. One day, we may even have to pay for the air that
we breathe! But it is still not too late. There are things that we can
do to make things better. We can remember the “3R’s” : Reduce,
Reuse, and Recycle. Let’s think about what these three words mean.
To reduce means to use less. Here are some simple things that you can do to
reduce waste.
• Turn off the water while you brush your teeth.
• Take a cloth bag when you go shopping so you won’t need to use plastic bags.
To reuse means to use something again. How can you reuse things? Here are
some examples.
• Buy things that you can fill again and again, like refillable pens and refillable
shampoo bottles.
• Use both sides of a sheet of paper before you use a new one.
To recycle means to make something new from used things. Fortunately,
recycling is now a common practice in most parts of the
world. Here are some materials that can be recycled.
• Paper • Glass • Plastic • Metal
Please remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle. If
you do this, the quality of life will improve for us and our
children.

2. What is the purpose of the “3R’s”?
a) To develop new natural resources. b) To get fresh air to breathe.
c) To save natural resources. d) To stop water pollution.
3. If we continue to waste natural resources, what will happen?
a) Our life will get much more difficult.
b) We will have to buy drinking water.
c) We will not need to practice the “ 3R’s.”
d) There won’t be many problems on the earth.

Unit 1
时间状语从句
在复合句中，修饰主句的动词、形容词或副词等的从句叫作状语从句。状语从句由
从属连词引导。状语从句根据它表达的意思可分为时间、原因、条件、让步、比较、结
果、目的和方式等状语从句。本单元我们学习时间状语从句。
1. 引导时间状语从句的连词有as soon as, after, before, when, while, as, until / till, since 等。
例如：As soon as I arrive, I will call you.

You should return the book after you read it.
你应该在看完书后把它还回去。
When the weather is fine, many people go out for a walk.
当天气好的时候，许多人都出去散步。
Don蒺t make any noise while I am recording.
当我录音的时候别出声。
2. 连词when, while, as 都表示“当……时候”的意思，但用法不同。学习时需要注意以下
几点：
（1）当从句中的谓语动词是表示持续性的动作时，我们可以用when，while 或as。
例如：While / When / As I was watching TV, my mom was cooking in the kitchen.
当我看电视的时候，妈妈正在厨房做饭。
当从句中的谓语动词表示瞬间动作时，不可以用while。
例如：As / When I stopped my car, a man came up to me.
当我停车时，一个人向我走来。
（2）当从句的动作发生于主句动作之前，要用when 引导这个从句，不可用as 或while。
例如：When you finished your work, you may have a rest.
当你完成工作时，你可以休息一下。
（3）当从句表示“随时间推移”，连词应用as，不用when 或while。
例如：As the day went on, the weather got worse.
日子一天天过去，天气越变越坏。

Grammar 103
Appendix
用作know, learn, tell, wonder, ask, find, forget, teach, remember, decide, explain 等动词的宾
语，其作用相当于宾语从句。当不定式的逻辑主语和句子的主语一致时，可以用这种句式。
例如：I don蒺t know what to say.
我不知道该说什么。
We蒺d better find out where to put it.
我们最好弄清楚把它放在哪儿。
Please tell me how to play.
请告诉我怎么玩。

2.“the + 比较级，the + 比较级”的句式。
表示两个过程按比例同时增减，翻译为“越……越……”。
例如：The more, the better.

Unit 3
动词say，tell 和ask 及后随的宾语从句
动词say，tell 和ask 常用于引述别人或自己讲出的话。在引用别人的原话时，被引
用的句子前后要使用引号，将原话放在引号内。若用自己的话对别人所讲的话加以转述
时，被转述的话不加引号，称之为间接引语，属于宾语从句。由引述动词say 和tell 引出
的句子为间接陈述句；由引述动词ask 引出的句子为间接疑问句。
1. 由引述动词say 或tell 引出的间接陈述句通常用从属连词that 引导，从属连词that 在
句中有时可被省略。间接陈述句中say 后面不加间接宾语（说话的对象），但用tell 转述
时后面可加宾语。
（员）引述动词为现在时的间接陈述句。
间接陈述句的引述动词如果为现在时，随后的间接引语不需改变时态形式，
但有人称的相应变化。这种情况常见于转述刚刚说完的话。
例如：淤Susan says,“I go to school at 7 every morning.”
苏珊说：“我每天早晨7 点钟去上学。”
间接陈述句为：
Susan says（that）she goes to school at 7 every morning.
苏珊说她每天早晨7点钟去上学。
于“I蒺ve bought a new computer,”Peter says to me.
“我买了一台新的计算机。”彼得对我说。
间接陈述句为：
Peter tells me（that）he has bought a new computer.
彼得告诉我他买了一台新的计算机。
（圆）引述动词为过去时的间接陈述句。
间接陈述句的引述动词如果为过去时，其随后的间接引语中的时间关系要向
后推移，引起动词时态的变化。
104
例如：淤Susan said,“My mother is cooking.” 苏珊说：“我妈妈正在做饭。”
间接陈述句为：
Susan said（that）her mother was cooking.
苏珊说她妈妈正在做饭。
于“I will go swimming,”Peter said to me. “我要去游泳。”彼得告诉我。
间接陈述句为：
Peter told me（that）he would go swimming.
彼得告诉我他要去游泳。
（猿）在有些场合，特别是引语表达的是客观事实、普遍真理等，尽管引述动词为过去
时，间接引语中的动词时态也不需改变。
例如：淤He said,“People exchange gifts at Christmas.”
他说：“人们在圣诞节交换礼物。”
间接陈述句为：
He said that people exchange gifts at Christmas.
他说人们在圣诞节交换礼物。
于“The earth moves around the sun,”their teacher told them.
“地球围绕太阳转动。”老师告诉他们。
间接陈述句为：
Their teacher told them that the earth moves around the sun.
老师告诉他们地球是围绕太阳转动的。
2. 由引述动词ask 引出的间接疑问句。
若别人所述的原话是疑问句，在间接转述时要保留原话中的疑问代词或疑问副词作
为引出间接疑问句的引导词，并将原句中的疑问句语序变为陈述句语序。ask 后面可接间
接宾语。
例如：（1）“What are you doing?”she asked me. “你正在做什么？”她对我说。
间接陈述句为：
She asked me what I was doing.
她问我正在干什么。
（2）“When shall we meet again?”asked Marry. “我们何时才能再见面？”玛丽问。
间接陈述句为：
Marry asked when they would meet again.
玛丽问他们什么时候才能再见面。
Unit 5
动词feel, look, smell, sound, taste 可作为系动词的用法
动词按其是否可带有宾语或补语可分类为及物动词、不及物动词和连系动词（系动
词）。在本单元中，我们将具体学习feel，look，smell，sound，taste 这五个最常用动词分
别作为系动词、不及物动词和及物动词时的用法和区别。具体说明如下：
1. 均可作为系动词，后面接形容词作表语，用来说明主语所处的状态，分别译为“摸/
看/ 闻/ 听/ 尝起来……”。除look 之外，其他几个动词的主语往往是物，而不用于人。
Grammar 105
Appendix
例如：These flowers smell very sweet.
这些花闻起来很香。
This pillow feels very soft.
这个枕头摸起来很软。
2. 这些动词后面也可接介词like 短语，like 后面常用名词。
例如：Her idea sounds like fun.
她的主意听起来很有趣。
You look like your mother.
你长得像你的母亲。
3. 这些动词也属于实义动词，既可作及物动词也可作不及物动词，其主语通常是人。
例如：We smelt the roses.
我们闻了闻这些玫瑰花。
The child felt cold.
这个孩子感觉冷。
Don蒺t sound“h”in“hour.” 在“hour”这个单词中，“h”不发音。
Unit 6
被动语态（域）
前面我们已经初步认识了被动语态，在本单元我们将学习被动语态中介词的用法。
1. 被动语态中通常用介词by 后加表示动作的执行者。
例如：This book was written by Lu Xun.
这本书是鲁迅写的。
当我们不知道谁是动作的执行者，或者没有必要指出谁是动作的执行者时，此部分
可以省略。
例如：This computer was made in China.
这款计算机是中国制造的。
The book was published in 2000.
这本书是2000 年出版的。
2. 运用其他介词后加动作的执行者。
例如：The mountain is covered with snow.
那座山被雪覆盖了。
She is a famous singer. She is known to a lot of people.
她是一位著名的歌手。她被很多人所熟知。
Unit 7
because 和because of
because 和because of 都可以译为“因为”“由于”，表示原因。它们的区别如下：
1. because 是连词，引导原因状语从句，后面跟一个完整的句子。
例如：He didn蒺t go to school because he was ill.
他没去上学是因为他生病了。
2. because of 是一个介词短语，后跟名词、名词性的词组或动词-ing 形式。
例如：He didn蒺t go to school because of his illness.
由于生病他没去上学。
Unit 9
定语从句（I）
在主从复合句中，起定语作用的从句被称作定语从句。定语从句对其修饰的名词起
限定作用。
106
例如：She is the teacher who teaches us English.
她就是教我们英语的
。
从上述例句中的英、汉两种不同句式的比较来看，英语的定语从句是一组内含主谓
结构的从句（who 是主语，teaches 是谓语），置于被修饰名词（teacher）之后，而汉语的
定语是一组带有“的”字的动宾结构（汉语译文中的“教”是动词，“我们”是宾语），
置于被修饰名词（老师）之前。这是同学们在英、汉互译中需掌握的要点。
学习并掌握定语从句的要领：
1. 定语从句由关系代词who （指人）、which （指事物）、that （兼指人或物）等引出。
2. 关系代词在主从复合句中起双重作用：一方面，它指代主句中被修饰或限定的名词
“先行词”，使主句与从句成为一体，从而起到连接词的作用；另一方面，这些起连接作
用的关系代词又在从句的内部充当从句中的某一成分。
例如：（1）They met Dandan who visited America last year.
他们遇见了去年访问美国的丹丹。
关系代词who 指代主句中被修饰的人Dandan，Dandan 是先行词；who 又在
定语从句中作主语，是谓语动词visited 的执行者；who 起到了连接主句与从
句的作用。
（2）This is the question which Mr. Brown asked me.
这就是布朗先生问我的那个问题。
关系代词which 指代主句中被限定的事物question，question 是先行词；which
又在定语从句中作asked 的宾语；将从句中的宾语which 提到定语从句之首
并置于主句的先行词question 之后，在句子结构上起到了连接主句和从句的
作用。
上述两个例句中的who 与which 可以分别用that 替换。
Unit 10
定语从句（II）
在定语从句中，关系代词that 指代“人”时，相当于who；指代“事物”时，相当
于which，在定语从句中作主语或宾语，作宾语时通常可以省略。
例如：The boy that / who is singing a song is from Canada.
那个正在唱歌的男孩来自加拿大。
The house that / which was built here last year is my father蒺s.
去年在这里盖的那栋房子是我爸爸的。
The gesture（which / that）we have learned means“Okay.”
我们学习过的那个手势意思是“好的”。
Grammar 107
Appendix
Unit 11
修饰比较级的副词
形容词和副词比较级前可加much, a little, a lot, far, even 等词或词组来修饰，用来加
强比较的语气或程度，在句中作状语。
例如：This text is much more difficult than that one.
这篇课文比那篇课文难很多。
Your apple is a little bigger than mine.
你的苹果比我的大一些。
I feel a lot better today.
我今天感觉好多了。
This is far better than that.
这个比那个好很多。
She is even prettier than her sister.
她甚至比她妹妹还漂亮。
