本套教科书分为六册,共三十三个单元。每个单元围绕一个主题,先由开篇页导入,
再分四个板块从不同侧面呈现教学内容。
开篇页为一幅精美的主题插图,图上附有单元序号和标题、一个主题之问,以及语言
交际、文化学习、思维训练、策略运用和项目实践五个方面的学习目标。这些图文可以帮
助你们了解单元主题、明确学习目标,激发你们对单元主题的学习兴趣。
开篇页之后是“准备”板块。该板块包括听说(Listening & Speaking)、功能
(Function)和语音(Pronunciation)三个部分,主要通过听、说、看、读等活动引入
单元主题,帮助你们掌握与主题相关的语言和文化基础知识,激发你们进一步探索单元主

studied the language and then began to study medicine. But soon after, he became 
more interested in literature. At last, he decided to give up medicine and take up 
writing in 1906. After seven years of studying abroad, he returned to China in 1909. 
He used his pen to fight for the benefits of the Chinese people. He died in 1936.

Reading Strategies
Read the text and learn how to make connections.
Group work. Discuss how to get out of pressure, and then share 
your advice in class.
Read the text and try to make connections. 
When you read, you can connect what you read with your own learning experiences 
and get a better understanding of the text.
Bowen is an active learner. When he has a learning problem, 
he always tries to solve it in his own way. For example, when 
he wants to learn something with the cultural background, 
like “hot dog”, he will search online for information about the 
culture.
The exams are coming. Xuanxuan is under great pressure now because she doesn’t 
want to disappoint herself and her parents. She searches online to find ways to get out 
of pressure. Here is some advice.
Talk to someone. Talk with your parents, teachers or friends. Let them know your 
worries and try to get help. You will feel better after you share your problems. 
Listen to music. Music can help change your feelings. Music can make you calm and 
encourage you to step forward.
Imagine your success in the exams. Now you need to study hard, and soon your dream 
will come true.

Pair work. Look at the pictures and discuss the questions.
Read the text and answer the questions.
Confucius (551 BCE--479 BCE) was one of the greatest thinkers and educators 
during the Spring and Autumn Period. 
Like many other masters, Confucius started as a hard-working student. At 15, 
Confucius got down to studying. He studied music, math, literature and other 
subjects. When he was learning Shao music in the State of Qi, he was lost in the 
music and hardly noticed the taste of meat for a few months. Later, Confucius 
opened a private school and started teaching there. People came to study at his 
school. One of his students was Zilu. Zilu was too confident about himself. So 
once Confucius told him, “To know what you know and what you do not know, 
that is wisdom.” It tells us we should learn knowledge in an honest way. In his 
late years, even when Confucius became a master, he never stopped learning 
from others. Confucius told his students, “When I walk along with two others, 
they may serve me as my teachers.” This famous saying shows the learning 
spirit of Confucius.
It is not easy to understand all the thoughts of Confucius. You may need to draw 
on his wisdom from time to time. Just like the master said, “Review the old 
knowledge and you will have new ideas.”
1. Who is the man in the first picture?

Look at the pictures and read the sentences. Pay attention to 
the words in bold. 
Make new words with the suffix -al and then complete the 
sentences.
Read the text and tick the correct words.
Suppose you move to a foreign country but don’t speak the language. Think about 
why and how you learn a new language. 
You are not learning the language just for (education/educational) purpose. 
Instead, you learn it to satisfy your (person/personal) needs. You should be able to 
understand others and make yourself understood. So, on the one hand, you have 
(practice/practical) goals of listening, speaking, reading and writing; on the other 
hand, you are using the language to do real things in your daily life. 
Now think about learning a foreign language at home. Except for a (nature/
natural) language use environment, what else is similar in your learning activities? 
And how can you make up for the loss of the language use environment?

My Learning Experiences
Hi, everyone! I’m very glad to share my learning experiences 
with you. 
When I first got into the middle school, I found learning 
quite difficult. Luckily, my English teacher Mr. Zhang 
noticed my problem after the first exam. He advised me 
to plan my study well and make good use of every minute 
in class. I followed Mr. Zhang’s advice. I took notes and 
followed the teachers carefully in every class. At the end of 
last term, I could raise questions and share my opinions in 
front of the whole class. At the start of this term, I joined 
a study group. We shared our learning materials and had 
discussions on how to learn different subjects.
Maybe you are also worrying about your study. Relax! Talk 
to your teachers and learn from your classmates. You will 
find your own way to improve your study.

you a story about my teacher.
My teacher was born in a small mountain village. His poor family couldn’t afford 
to send him to school. It seemed he would spend his whole life in the mountains, 
just like his parents and grandparents. However, he had a dream to explore 
beyond the mountains. He borrowed books from his friends and taught himself. 
He worked hard and made progress every day. After years of efforts, he passed 
the exam to enter college and worked as a teacher after he graduated. He realized 
his dream through hard work and with a strong will. 
From my teacher’s story, I learn that hard work is the key to success. Stick to 
your dream and you will succeed.

In ancient times, when people began to trade things, there was a need for borrowing 
and lending. Take the trade between Kron the hunter and Nokk the toolmaker as an 
example. Kron wanted Nokk’s tools for hunting, but he had nothing to trade with 
Nokk, so he promised to trade the animals from his future hunts for Nokk’s tools. 
Nokk needed animals for food, so he agreed. This is how “credit” began.

 The History of Money
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to today’s Cool History for Teenagers. 
What is money? When people pay for goods or services, they use some 
kinds of money. We can find money in museums all over the world. But do 
you know how money has developed over time?
Before people used money, they traded goods directly. For example, a 
person might trade a cow for five sheep. In this case, the cow was used as a 
form of “money”. People in ancient China invented shell money. Even today 
we can see the symbol of “shell” in many Chinese characters about money 
or trade. During the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BCE-- 476 BCE), each 
state made their own money. Later, Emperor Qin Shihuang brought together 
all the warring states and created the Qin Dynasty. To make doing business 
easier across the country, he made the whole country use the same type of 
money—a round coin with a square hole in the center. With such a hole, 
people could put the money together with a rope and carry them around 
easily. Centuries later, when there was less metal for making money, the 
government of the Song Dynasty started to produce paper money—“jiaozi”.

This great invention later also appeared in other parts of the world. Now, 
as information technology develops, people begin to use digital money. If 
a foreign tourist visits China, he will find people pay for almost everything 
through their mobile phones.
What will money look like in the future? Will there still be paper money? We 
may not have answers to those questions. But money will surely continue to 
exist in some form.

some money in my piggy bank every week. Then, I 
try to spend less and avoid buying unnecessary things. 
I always make a shopping list before going to the 
store and often think twice before buying something. 
Lastly, I also try to make some money on my own. 
For example, I like to collect and sell bottles, used 
books and wastepaper. 
Every time I save, I watch my money grow. This 
makes me feel proud of myself. Saving money also 
teaches me to be patient and prepare for the future.

The Goose with Golden Eggs
Once upon a time, there was a farmer. He had a wonderful 
goose. Every day, the goose laid a golden egg for him. 
He would pick up the egg and store it in a basket. Soon, 
the farmer got rich by selling baskets of golden eggs. This 
made him very happy. However, after a while, he became 
unhappy, because the goose laid only one egg each day. He wanted the goose 
to lay more eggs every day. He thought hard and finally got an idea. “If I kill 
the goose, I’ll get all the eggs”, he said to himself. Right away, he killed the 
goose. But, to his disappointment, he found nothing inside.

Surviving a Rainstorm
Last week, a rainstorm hit my hometown. 
I was riding home after school when the dark clouds 
suddenly gathered. There was a huge noise of thunder ahead, 
and wind began to blow harder and harder. A rainstorm 
was coming! I remembered learning about this in Mr. Li’s 
geography class. I stayed away from big trees and rode 
along a direct passage to the nearest store. The rain started 
pouring down right after I got inside. After about half an 
hour, the rain seemed to become lighter, but it was still quite 
dark outside. I decided to wait. Finally, the rain stopped and 
the sky cleared up. When I stepped out of the store and saw 
a few large trees fall on the cars, my face turned pale with 
fear. Luckily, no one was hurt.

Qipao is a traditional dress for Chinese women. There

see animal and flower embroideries on a qipao.
The qipao is part of Chinese culture. The Manchu women first wore qipaos in the 
Qing Dynasty. In the 1920s, it became a fashion in Shanghai and then quickly became 
popular in other parts of China. Now, Chinese women wear qipaos at special events 
like weddings. The newly-married wife looks beautiful in qipao and the newly-
married husband is happy to see that.

Once, in a desert, three businessmen rested in a small hotel. They came from 
different places: a silk trader from Chang’an, China, a horse trader from India, and a 
tea trader from Shanxi, China. 
The silk trader was a tall and thin man. He traveled with a group from Chang’an.
They sold silk and Chinese goods along the roads to the Middle East and parts of 
Europe. Everywhere they went, people welcomed Chinese culture and products 
warmly.
The horse trader, an Indian man, learned Chinese through the trade between India 
and China. His usual route took him from Xizang to Sichuan. He crossed rivers and 
mountains. The route was difficult, but he found joy in experiencing new cultures.
The tea trader, an old man from Shanxi, came with a long line of traders. They 
relied on camels and horses to transport goods to northwestern China. For the 
old man, trading on this route was not just for making a living; it was more about 
passing down the family tradition.

For Chinese people, tea presents Chinese culture. Tea is usually one of the first 
choices for presents during traditional festivals. There are many types of tea, such 
as green tea, black tea and white tea. These names come from the colors of the 
tea leaves. For example, we name it white tea because there is something white 
covering tea leaves. We use hot water to make tea instead of cool water. Hot tea can 
cool us down.

Dear Jane,
How are you doing these days? Last weekend, 
my cousin visited us, and we took him to 
have Beijing roast duck—one of the most 
famous traditional foods in my hometown. 
When we sat down in a nice restaurant, a waiter came up to take the 
order. He told us that people use wood fire to roast the duck in a big 
oven. The wood fire makes the duck smell nice and taste special. After 
some time, the duck came to our table. It looked golden and beautiful. 
Then my father showed my cousin how to eat it. He put some duck meat, 
duck skin, cucumber, spring onion and sweet sauce on a small pancake, 
rolled it up and gave it to him. My cousin tasted it and couldn’t stop 
smiling. He enjoyed it so much that he rolled two more pancakes, one for 
himself and the other for me.  
I hope you can visit China one day. I will take you to eat Beijing roast 
duck too! I’m sure you’ll love it.  
Take care, 
Li Mei

Calligraphy is one of the best-known traditional Chinese art forms. Artists use a brush 
and ink to write Chinese characters on paper, stones, and other objects. This art has a 
long history and holds an important place in Chinese culture.
Calligraphy is not just about writing; it is a way to express feelings and ideas. Each 
movement of the brush shows the artist’s personal 
style of creating calligraphy, and every piece shows the 
beauty of the Chinese characters and the language in its 
own way. There are many great calligraphers in Chinese 
history, and their works are valuable not only as pieces 
of art but also as an important part of Chinese culture.
Today, many people practice calligraphy as a hobby, and some enjoy hanging 
calligraphy at home. By practicing and enjoying calligraphy, we can better understand 
Chinese culture and its values.

My favorite story character is Sun Wukong, or the Monkey 
King. He is the main character of the novel Journey to the West, 
one of the Four Classical Novels of Chinese literature. 
I like Sun Wukong for many reasons. We all know that he 
has magical power. He can change into anything. That makes 
him very funny sometimes and can help him fight against his 
enemies. He is also very brave, smart and honest. He is never 
afraid of danger. He can always come up with ideas to deal 
with difficulties. Maybe few people can realize that honesty is 
also one of his best qualities. We can see his master sometimes 
punishes him. But, why? Because he would not lie to his 
master! 
In a word, Sun Wukong is a popular hero among people of all 
ages. He will always hold a special place in my heart as my 
favorite story character.

效率,从而提升金融机构的服务水平。它所依赖的技术(比如区块链)理论上可以杜绝货币
伪造的行为,从而减少交易过程中的风险。然而,建立在互联网技术基础上的数字货币,其
安全性仍然面临诸如算法、协议、使用、系统和实现等方面的挑战,在同传统金融产业融合
的过程中也存在稳定性风险。

背景知识
许渊冲——中国翻译界泰斗
1921 年,许渊冲出生于江西南昌的一个书香之家。1938 年,他以优异的成绩考入西南联
合大学外语系,从此与英语翻译结下了不解之缘。上学期间,他将林徽因的《别丢掉》一诗
精心译作英文。该作品一经发表就引起了轰动,成了他的英译诗文处女作。
许渊冲在翻译上心思敏捷,句句经典。他致力于把中国传统、优秀的作品传播到世界各
地。《诗经》《道德经》《唐诗三百首》等许多经典著作经过他的努力都被翻译出来呈现给了世
界读者。除了专注于中国古典文学的翻译,许渊冲还把不少英法文学名著译为中文,如《红
与黑》《李尔王》和《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。他将中国文化的美传递给世界,也将世界文学的美
传播到中国。
许渊冲坚持将诗歌的视觉美和听觉美贯穿始终,认为译文应最大限度地再现原作带给读
者的整体感官体验。杨振宇曾评价他的译作:他从英文诗翻译出来的中文诗,念起来像(中
文)诗。他将中文诗翻译成英文诗,念起来像英文诗。
2010 年,许渊冲被中国翻译协会授予中国“翻译文化终身成就奖”。2014 年,许渊冲荣
获 “北极光”杰出文学翻译奖,这是国际翻译界的最高奖项之一。他是首位获此殊荣的亚洲翻
译家。

Ⅱ. 状语从句(Adverbial Clause)
用作状语的从句叫作状语从句,由一些从属连词来引导。状语从句常置于句首或句末,根
据其用途主要分为原因、时间、条件、结果、让步、地点、目的和方式状语从句等。下面主要
讲解常见的状语从句类型。
1. 原因状语从句
原因状语从句表示主句中动作或状态发生的原因或理由。引导原因状语从句的从属连词
主要有since、because、as(均表示“因为,由于”)等。 
because 语气最强,用来回答以why 引导的疑问句, 可表示已知或未知的事实,它可以与
强调词only、just 以及否定词not 连用。例如:
They didn’t go to work on Monday morning because they felt tired.星期一早上他们没有上班,
因为他们感到疲劳。
as 语气较弱,较口语化,所表示的原因比较明显,或是已知的事实,故不需强调。as 引
导的从句多置于主句之前。例如:
(续表)
Grammar
123
As all the seats were full, he had to stand there. 由于所有的座位都坐满了,他只好站在那里。
since 的语气较弱,常表示对方已知的事实。例如:
Since you’re going, I will go, too. 既然你要走,我也走。
2. 时间状语从句
时间状语从句表示主句动作发生的时间。引导时间状语从句的从属连词主要有when
(当……的时候)、while(当……的时候)、before(在……之前)、after(在……之后)、
as(当……的时候)、until(直到……为止)、till(直到……为止)、as soon as(一……就……)
等。例如:
When he was a young man, he worked in the country. 他年轻时在乡下工作。
While she was writing a letter, the children were playing outside. 当她在写信的时候,孩子们
在外面玩耍。
Before I go on a trip, I will prepare many things for it. 去旅行之前,我会准备许多东西。
After you think it over, please let me know what you decide. 你考虑好此事之后,请告诉我你
的决定。
As she sang, the tears ran down her cheeks. 她唱歌时,眼泪顺着面颊流下来。
He didn’t raise his head until/till someone called him. 直到有人叫他的名字他才抬起头。
As soon as Li Ming saw his friends, he jumped up. 李明一看见他的朋友就跳了起来。
注意:when、as 和while 都可以表示“当……的时候”,而when 既可表示“一个特定的
时间”,也可表示“一段时间”;as 多用于口语,强调“同一时间”或“一先一后”;while 也
可表示同一时间,但所表示的不是一个时间点,而是一段时间,因此谓语动词常是延续性的,
并且常用进行时。有时while 可以与when 或as 互换。
3. 条件状语从句
条件状语从句是表示事件发生的前提或条件的从句。引导条件状语从句的从属连词主要
有if(如果)、unless(如果不……;除非……)和as long as(只要)。例如:
If everyone obeys the traffic rules, the roads will be much safer. 如果每个人都遵守交通规则,
那么道路就会安全得多。
We will go there next Saturday unless it rains. 如果不下雨的话, 我们下周六去那里。
As long as we don’t lose heart, we’ll find a way to overcome the difficulty. 只要我们不丧失信
心,就能找出克服困难的办法。
注意:在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中,如果主句是一般将来时或具有将来的含义,
Grammar
124
从句的谓语动词常用一般现在时表示将来。
4. 结果状语从句
结果状语从句表示主句中某一动作或状态所产生的结果,通常主句是因,从句是果。引
导结果状语从句的从属连词主要有so that、so/such ... that ... 等。
(1)so ... that ... 引导的结果状语从句。例如:
I was so tired that I couldn’t go on any longer. 我太累了,再也走不动了。
注意:so ... that ... 意思是“如此……以至于……”,so 后接形容词或副词,that 后接的句
子表示主句动作所导致的结果。
(2)so that 引导的结果状语从句,在句子中的意思是“因此,所以”,表示主句动作所导
致的结果。例如:
Miss Wang planned very well so that her students enjoyed a good trip. 王老师计划得非常好,
因此她的学生旅行得很愉快。
注意:so that 也可以引导目的状语从句,意为“以便,这样,为了,目的是”,从句中的谓
语常有may、might、can、could、will、would、should 这类情态动词,表示“可以,会”等含义。
例如:
People started to wear clothes so that they could protect themselves from the sun, wind, rain and 
cold. 人们开始穿衣是为了免受日晒、风吹、雨淋和寒冷的侵袭。
(3)such ... that ... 引导的结果状语从句。例如:
Li Yun is such a clever student that every teacher likes her a lot. 李云是一个如此聪明的学生,
以至于每个老师都非常喜欢她。
注意:such ... that ... 意思是“如此……以至于……”,such 后接名词短语,that 后接的句
子表示主句动作所导致的结果。有时可和so ... that ... 引导的结果状语从句互换。如上句也可
这样表达:Li Yun is so clever a student that every teacher likes her a lot.
5. 让步状语从句
让步状语从句表示尽管某种不利于主句动作发生的条件存在,主句中的情况依然会出现。
引导让步状语从句的从属连词主要有though/although(尽管)、even though/if(即使)等。
(1)though/although 引导的让步状语从句 
though 和although 的意义相同,多数情况下可以互换使用。主句可用yet 或still,更加强
调对比性。例如:
Although/Though he is 80 years old, the old man still does exercise every day.  虽然这个老人
Grammar
125
80 岁了,他仍然每天都做运动。
He went out without a coat though/although it was very cold outside. 虽然外面很冷,但是他
没有穿外套就出去了。
在中文里“虽然……但是……”经常连用,但是英文中表示转折用although/though 或but
连接两个并列句就可以了,一个句子中不能同时出现though/although 和but。
(2)even if, even though 的用法
even if 和even though 表示语气更强的让步,意为“即使”。even if 更强调对“假设”的
让步,even though 更加强调对“既成事实”的让步。例如:
These children will go to school even if the weather is bad. 即使天气很糟糕,这些孩子们也
要去上学。
Even though he lives far away, he still goes to visit his grandparents every day. 虽然他住得很
远,但是他仍然每天去看望他的爷爷奶奶。
6. 地点状语从句
地点状语从句是表示位置或方向的从句。引导地点状语从句的从属连词主要有where 
(在……地方)、wherever(在任何……地方)等。例如:
Please keep sitting where you are. 请坐在原地不要动。
They went wherever they could find work. 哪里能找到工作,他们就去哪里。
Ⅲ.  副词的比较等级(Comparative and Superlative Adverbs)
英文中的副词有三个等级,即原级(positive degree)、比较级(comparative degree)和最
高级(superlative degree)。
1. 副词比较等级的构成
副词比较等级的规则变化与形容词比较等级的规则变化大致相同。例如:
原级

farther/further 
 
farthest/furthest
little 
 
less

much 
 
more 
 
 
most

2. 副词比较等级的用法
副词比较等级的用法与形容词比较等级的用法基本相同。
(1)原级
表示比较双方程度相同时,常用“as + 副词原级+ as”结构,意为“……和……一样”。
例如:
I want to live as happily as before. 我想和以前一样快乐地生活。
表示比较双方程度不同时,常用“not as/so + 副词原级+ as”结构,意为“……不如……”。
例如:
Kangkang doesn’t draw as/so carefully as Li Hua. 康康画画不如李华认真。
You don’t study as/so hard as your sister. 你学习不如你姐姐努力。
(2)比较级
两者之间比较时,常用“副词比较级+ than”结构,意为“比……更……”。例如:
Li Hua cuts more finely than she does/her. 李华比她切得更细。
Meimei cooked more carefully than Lili. 梅梅做饭比丽丽更认真。
表示否定的比较级可用“less + 副词原级+ than”结构,表示“……不如……”。例如:
He speaks less loudly than I do. 他说话声音没有我大。
(3)最高级
三者或三者以上比较时,常用“the + 副词最高级+ in/of ... (比较范围)”结构,意为“某
人(或某物)在某范围内最……”。副词最高级前可省去the。例如:
Lin Tao jumps (the) highest in our class. 林涛在我们班里跳得最高。
Li Feng sings (the) best of all. 李峰是所有人中唱得最好的。
Grammar
127
3. 副词比较等级中的注意事项
(1)在同级比较结构中,第一个as 前可加half、twice、three times 等词来修饰,表示倍
数关系。例如:
Liu Mei jumps twice as far as her sister. 刘梅跳得是她姐姐的两倍远。
(2)副词的比较级前可用much、a lot、a little、a bit、even、still、far 等词来修饰,表示
不同程度。例如:
She played the piano much more wonderfully than you. 她弹钢琴比你棒得多。
(3)借助other、else 或否定词,比较级形式可用来表示最高级概念。例如:
Nobody runs faster than him. 没人比他跑得快。
(4)“the + 比较级 ...,the + 比较级 ...”表示“越……,越……”。例如:
The more you read, the more you learn. 你读书越多,学到的知识就越多。
(5)“比较级+ and + 比较级”表示“越来越……”。例如:
It is raining more and more heavily. 雨越下越大。

Ⅴ. 宾语从句(Object Clause)
宾语是句子的一个重要成分,它可以由名词、代词、名词短语或句子充当。当一个句子
充当宾语时,这个句子就被称为宾语从句。宾语从句与主句之间由连接词来连接。
学习宾语从句,要注意引导词、语序和时态。
1. 引导词
引导宾语从句的引导词按所引导的句子结构特点可以分为三类。
(1)that 引导的宾语从句(that 在口语或非正式文体中常省略)
I know (that) he is a Canadian athlete.  我知道他是一名加拿大运动员。
Do you think (that) the children need to write a song? 你认为孩子们需要写一首歌吗?

2. 语序
宾语从句用陈述句语序。例如:

 Do you know if/whether he likes reading newspapers? 你知道他是否喜欢看报纸吗?
What are they talking about? I want to know. 他们正在谈论什么?我想知道。

 Can you tell me how I can get to the train station? 你能告诉我怎样到达火车站吗?
3. 时态
当主句中的谓语动词是一般现在时态时,宾语从句中的时态不受主句时态影响。当主句
中的谓语动词是一般过去时态时,宾语从句则使用相应的过去时态。例如:
I think that I can sell newspapers.  我想我可以卖报纸。
I think I should have a talk with her. 我想我应该和她谈一谈。
I heard you had a bad cold. 我听说你患了重感冒。
注意:如果宾语从句所表达的内容是客观真理或客观事实时,从句中动词的时态不受主
句的谓语动词时态的限制。例如:
The teacher said that Earth moves around the Sun. 老师说地球围绕太阳转。
He said he is forty. 他说他40 岁了。

Review Activity 1
Helen Keller was a famous writer. She became blind and lost her hearing at the age of nineteen 
months after a serious illness. Helen met her home teacher, Sullivan, when she was six years old and 
she learned to read and write by touching. This helped her to understand and communicate with the 
Tapescripts 131
world around her. At the age of fourteen, Helen went to a special school for the deaf and blind. When 
she was twenty-three years old, Helen published her first book. The book told the story of her early 
life. Following that, Helen published some other books. In 1903, she wrote the world-famous classic 
Three Days to See. From Helen Keller, we can learn an important lesson: No difficulty can stop us 
from being successful.

400-meter race. 
Mom:	
That’s great! 
Wang Junfeng:	But I need a pair of running shoes.
Mom:	
OK. How can I help you then?
Wang Junfeng:	You see, if I have a good pair of shoes, I will have a better chance of winning.
Mom:	
That sounds quite right. So?
Wang Junfeng:	You know, I have some pocket money, but I’m still short of ninety yuan.
Mom:	
OK. If I lend you the money, how are you going to pay me back?
Wang Junfeng:	If I save 30 yuan every month, I can pay you back in three months. What do you 
say?

Review Activity 1
Li Xiang:	Xiao Ya, what are you doing?
Xiao Ya:	 Oh, I’m making a shopping list. I always write down what I need to buy before going 
shopping. I think we should spend money wisely. 
Li Xiang:	I can’t agree with you more. And speaking of that, we’d better pay in cash. Don’t bring 
more cash than we really need.
Xiao Ya:	 Sounds useful. Anything else? 
Li Xiang:	Emm, it might be better for us to go shopping alone. You know, if we shop with friends, 
we often spend more money.
Xiao Ya:	 You’re right. It’s important for us to have a good spending habit. 
Li Xiang:	By the way, what do you usually spend your money on?
Xiao Ya:	 Well, I love reading and I usually spend most of my money on books. 
Li Xiang:	I’m sure you have many books in your study.
Xiao Ya:	 Yeah. What about you?
Li Xiang:	I’m a big fan of movies, you know, and I will save some of my pocket money every month 
for movies. 
Xiao Ya:	 It must be great fun.  
Li Xiang:	It certainly is. Maybe we can go to the movies together next time.

Good evening! It’s Friday, July 21st. Welcome to the weather report. We are having a stronger 
Tapescripts 133
heatwave than ever these days. Tomorrow, the temperature will become even higher, with the highest 
of 43°C in the day and the lowest of 38°C at night. This Sunday, the temperature will reach the highest 
of the past ten years, 44°C for the highest and 39°C for the lowest.
Here are some tips from the Red Cross.
First, stay in a cool place. A cool indoor environment works best for you on a hot summer day. 
Second, choose cool clothing and don’t forget to drink lots of water.
Third, limit your outdoor activities at the hottest time of the day, such as lunchtime. 
Finally, take breaks more often if you have to work outdoors, and stop working once you don’t feel 
good.
It’s the weather report for today. Thanks for watching.
Review Activity 1
Natural disasters are always harmful. Most clearly, they harm the environment, break down houses, 
and even cause deaths in large numbers. Still, many of the bad effects are unseen. For example, a 
heatwave can raise the temperature of sea water, and kill the fish and plants in the sea. As a result, we 
have less seafood.
Although different disasters may have different causes, human activities can also bring about natural 
disasters. For example, the burning of coal can lead to global warming, and then cause longer and 
hotter heatwaves and more serious rainstorms. We should try our best to prevent natural disasters. At 
the same time, we should also learn how to protect ourselves in disasters.

Review Activity 1
Can you imagine how the internet will change people’s life in the future? With the development of 
internet technology, life in the future will be quite different from life today. Computers will be much 
smaller but more powerful. Robots may take over many human jobs. People will work fewer hours 
than they do today, and they will have more time to enjoy themselves. Traveling will be much cheaper 
and booking tickets will be much easier. Mobile phones will play a greater role in people’s daily life. 
More and more people will use e-money instead of cash. What’s more, many traditional jobs like 
drivers, reporters and even doctors may disappear in the future. 
In short, the internet will greatly change our life and our life will change for the better. 
Unit 11 Fantastic Chinese Culture
Listening & Speaking Activity 2
Chinese hot pot is a delicious and popular dish in China. It is a very special way of cooking and 
eating food. The hot pot is filled with soup and is put in the middle of the table. People gather around 
the table and cook food in the soup. There are many choices of food such as meat, fresh vegetables 
Tapescripts 135
and tofu. People choose their own food and put as much food as they like into the pot. Sharing a hot 
pot meal is a wonderful way to spend time with family and friends. People can enjoy the dishes and 
share their stories with each other. They may forget about the dishes, but they will always remember 
the happy time together.

1. Hello, my name is Davis. I am from Britain. I had a lot of pain in my right knee three months ago. 
By chance, I learned that traditional Chinese zhenjiu may help treat the pain, so I decided to have a 
try. You know what? The doctor put some needles into my knee, but I didn’t feel anything at first. 
After a short while, I felt warm inside my knee, and the pain disappeared. After the doctors treated 
me five times, I no longer felt any pain in my knee. This was an amazing experience for me. I hope 
more people will know about Chinese zhenjiu.
2. Hi, I’m Mia and I’m from Germany. I had a stomachache last week. I went to see a Chinese doctor. 
The doctor examined my body and then gave me a pack of Chinese herbal medicine. Do you know 
what was inside the pack? They were all very strange things and I didn’t even know the names of 
some of them. The doctor told me to boil the medicine with water in a pot and drink the soup. It 
tasted terrible but I drank it all. After a few days, the pain in my stomach went away.

The Tang suit is a well-known type of traditional Chinese clothing. It is a Chinese type of jacket, with 
its own characteristics in design, making and use of materials.
The Tang suit is not, however, the clothing of the Tang Dynasty. It first appeared in the Qing Dynasty 
and then became popular with Chinese people in foreign countries at that time. Because the Tang 
Dynasty was the most powerful dynasty in Chinese history, foreign people called the Chinese the 
Tang people, and their clothes the Tang suit.
The Tang suit now is a symbol of Chinese culture. Many people like to wear Tang suits in important 
events, and some people also use Tang suits as gifts to their foreign friends.

(Michael and his Chinese teacher, Miss Wang, are at a Book Fair.)
Michael:	
Look, this is a picture of Li Bai. His poem Still Night Thoughts is about missing one’s 
hometown. Almost everybody knows the poem. 
Miss Wang:	Yes, he was one of the best poets in Chinese literature. He wrote a lot of poems and we 
can now read around one thousand of his poems.
Michael:	
What are most of his poems about?
Miss Wang:	Most of them are about friendship and nature. Some of his poems express his loneliness. 
Michael:	
Thanks, Miss Wang. Here are some books by William Shakespeare. My father told me 
Shakespeare was a poet as great as Li Bai.
Miss Wang:	Yes. Shakespeare was a poet as well as a playwright.
Michael:	
I know his play, Hamlet. It is quite famous. It is such a sad story. Are all his plays sad 
stories?
Miss Wang:	Not all his plays are sad stories. His early plays are mostly happy stories, but his later 
works, like Hamlet, are mostly sad stories. 
Review Activity 1
William Wordsworth was one of the leading British poets from 1800 to 1850. He grew up in 
northwest England. As a kid, he loved taking long walks in the mountains. That was perhaps why he 
often wrote about nature when he grew up. After finishing his studies at Cambridge University, he 
moved to France. A few years later, he returned to his hometown.
Wordsworth wrote many poems about the beauty of nature. You could see how much he enjoyed 
fishing, boating and swimming outdoors. He believed that nature was one of his best teachers and 
encouraged people to return to nature for a more peaceful life.
