Bus Driver and Passengers Save an Old ManAt 9:00 a.m. yesterday, bus No. 26 was going along Zhonghua Road when the driver saw an old man lying on the side of the road. A woman was next to him, shouting for help. The bus driver, 24-year-old Wang Ping, stopped the bus without thinking twice. He got off and asked the woman what happened. She said that the man had a heart problem and should go to the hospital. Mr. Wang knew he had to act quickly. He told the passengers that he must take the man to the hospital. He expected most or all of the passengers to get off and wait for the next bus.But to his surprise, they all agreed to go with him. Some passengers helped Mr. Wang to move the man on the bus.Thanks to Mr. Wang and the passengers, the doctors saved the man in time. Its sad that many people dont want to help others because they dont want any trouble, says one passenger. But the driver didnt think about himself. He only thought about saving a life.Section B2b Read the passage and underline the words you dont know.

As a mountain climber, Aron is used to taking risks. This is one of the exciting things about doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents. On April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very dangerous situation when climbing in Utah On that day, Arons arm was caught under a 2,000-kilo rock that fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He was not ready to die that day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help. After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and a Hard Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of. In this book, Aron tells of the importance of making good decisions, and of being in control of ones life. His lose for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience. Do we have the same spirit as Aron? Lets think about it before we find ourselves “between a rock and a hard place”, and before we have to make a decision that could mean life or death. Unit 2 Ill help to clean up the city parksSection A2d Role-play the conversation. Helen ：Hi , Tom . I m making some plans to work in an old peoples home this summer. Tom ： Really? I did that last summer. Helen ：Oh, what did they ask you to help out with ? Tom ：Mmm. things like reading the newspaper to the old people, or just talking to them. They told me stories about the past and how things used to be. Helen ：That sounds interesting . Tom ：Yeah , a lot of old people are lonely . We should listen to them and care for them. Helen ：You re right . I mean, were all going to be old one day, too. 3aRead the article . What do Mario and Mary volunteer to do? Students Who Volunteer Mario Green and Mary Brown from Riverside High School give up several hours each week to help others. Mario loves animals and wants to be an animal doctor. He volunteers at an animal hospital every Saturday morning. Mario believes it can help him to get his future dream job. “ It s hard work , ” he says , “but I want to learn more about how to care for animals . I get such a strong feeling of satisfaction when I see the animals get better and the look of joy on their owners faces.” Mary is a book lover. She could read by herself at the age of four. Last year she decided to try out for a volunteer after-school reading program .she still works there once a week to help kids learn to read. The kids are sitting in the library, but you can see in their eyes that theyre going on a different journey with each new book. Volunteering here is a dream come true for me. I can do what I love to do and help others at the same time. Section B2b Skim the letter and answer the questions. 1. Who wrote the letter to Miss Li? Why?Understanding Parts of Speech.Knowing what part of speech a word is(noun, verb, preposition, etc.)Can help you understand the words meaning.Ill Send You a Photo of Lucky2. What did Miss Li do? Ill Send You a Photo of LuckyDear Miss Li,Id like to thank you for sending money to Animal Helpers. Im sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. You helped to make it possible for me to have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my life. Let me tell you my story.What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you cant walk ou use your hands easily. Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties. I cant use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out. She talked to Animal Helpers about getting me a special trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I love animals and I was excited about the idea of having a dog.After six months of training with a dog at Animal Helpers, I was able to bring him home. My dogs name is Lucky a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, Im only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kindness! Lucky is very clever and understands many English words. He can understand me when I give him orders. For example, I say, “Lucky! Get my book,” and he does it at once.Lucky is a fantastic dog. Ill send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me. Thank you again for changing my life.Best wishes, Ben SmithUnit 3 Could you please clean your room?Section A2d Role play the conversation.Sister： They, could you please help out with a few things?Brother：Could I at least finish watching this show?Sister： No. I think two hours of TV is enough for you!Brother：Fine. What do you want me to do?Sister： Could you take out the rubbish, fold the clothes and do the dishes?Brother：So much?sister： Yes, because Mom will be back from shopping any minute now. And she wont be happy if she sees this mess.Brother：But the house is already pretty clean and tidy!Sister：Yes, well, its clean, but its not “mother clean”!3a Read the story and answer the question.1. Why was Nancys mom angry with Nancy?2. Did they solve the problem? How?Last month, our dog welcomed me when I came home from school. He wanted a walk, but I was too tired.I threw down my bag and went to the living room. The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over. “Could you please take the dog for a walk?” she asked.“Could I watch one show first?” I asked. “NO!” she replied angrily. “You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house! I cant work all day and do housework all evening.”“Well, I work all day at school, too! Im just as tired as you are!” I shouted back.My mom did not say anything and walked away. For one week, she did not do any housework and neither did I. Finally, I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.The next day, my mom came home from work to find the house clean and tidy.“What happened?” she asked in surprise.“Im so sorry, Mom. I finally understand that we need to share the housework to have a clean and comfortable home,” I replied.Section BSkimmming This means looking quickly through a piece of writing to find the main idea without reading every word. It is still a good idea to read the first sentence in each paragraph a little more carefully.2bThe Sunday Mail magazine invited parents to write about whether they think young people should do chores at home. Skim the following letters. Which one agrees and which one disagrees?Dear Sir,I dont understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They dont have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so theres no need for them to do it now. It is the parents job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I dont mind doing them.Mr. SmithDear Sir,I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. Its not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. Theyre always asking, “Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helps to develop childrens independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.Ms. MillerUnit 4 Why dont you talk to your parents?Section A2d Role-play the conversation.Dave：You look sad, Kim. Whats wrong?Kim：Well, I found my sister looking through my things yesterday. She took some of my new magazines and CDs.Dave：Hmm thats not very nice. Did she give them back to you?Kim：Yes, but Im still angry with her. What should I do?Dave：Well, I guess you could tell her to say sorry. But why dont you forget about it so that you can be friends again? Although shes wrong, its not a big deal.Kim：Youre right. Thanks for your advice.Dave：No problem. Hope things work out.3a Look at this letter to a magazine and the reply from Robert Hunt, a school counselor. Complete the chart.Dear Mr. Hunt,My problem is I cant get on with my family. Relations between my parents have become difficult. They fight a lot, and I really dont like it. Its the only communication they have. I dont know if I should say anything to them about this. When they argue, its like a big, black cloud hanging over our home. Also, my elder brother is not very nice to me. He always refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show. Instead he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I dont think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do?Sad and Thirteen Dear Sad and Thirteen,Its not easy being your age, and its normal to have these feelings. Why dont you talk about these feelings with your family? If your parents are having problems, you should offer to help. Maybe you could do more jobs around the house so that they have more time for proper communication. Secondly, why dont you sit down and communicate with your brother? You should explain that you dont mind him watching TV all the time. However, he should let you watch your favorite show. I hope youll feel better about yourself in future.Robert HuntSection B2b Read the article and answer the questions.1. What is the common problem for Chinese and American families?Guessing the MeaningWhen reading something for the first time, do not worry about words you do not know. Use the context to help you guess the meaning.2. Who gives their opinions about the problem?Maybe You Should Learn to Relax!These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they to take so many after-school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesnt only happen in China. The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylors three children is very busy.” On most days after school,” Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my childrens future. I really want them to be successful. ” However, the tired children dont get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then its time for homework.Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. “In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. Its crazy. I dont think thats fair. Why dont they just let their kids be kids? People shouldnt push their kids so hard.”Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a childs development. Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. “Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although its normal to want successful children, its even more important to have happy children.” Unit 5 What were you doing when the rainstorm came?Section A2d Role-play the conversation.Mary：What were you doing last night, Linda? I called at seven and you didnt pick up.Linda：Oh, I was in the kitchen helping my mom.Mary：I see. I called again at eight and you didnt answer then either.Linda：What was I doing at eight? Oh, I know. When you called, I was having a shower.Mary：But then I called again at nine.Linda：Oh, I was sleeping at that time.Mary：So early? Thats strange.Linda：Yeah, I was tired. Why did you call so many times?Mary：I needed help with my homework. So while you were sleeping, I called Jenny and she helped me.3a Read the passage and answer the questions.1. What was the weather like before the heavy rain started?2. What was the neighborhood like after the storm?The Storm Brought People Closer TogetherBen could hear strong winds outside his home in Alabama. Black clouds were making the sky very dark. With no light outside, it felt like midnight. The news on TV reported that a heavy rainstorm was in the area.Everyone in the neighborhood was busy. Bens dad was putting pieces of wood over the windows while his mom was making sure the flashlights and radio were working. She also put some candles and matches on the table. Ben was helping his mom make dinner when the rain began to beat heavily against the windows. After dinner, they tried to play a card game, but it was hard to have fun with a serious storm happening outside.Ben could not sleep at first. He finally fell asleep when the wind was dying down at around 3:00 a.m. When he woke up, the sun was rising. He went outside with his family and found the neighborhood in a mess. Fallen trees, broken windows and rubbish were everywhere. They joined the neighbors to help clean up the neighborhood together. Although the storm broke many things apart, it brought families and neighbors closer together.Section B2b Read the passage and answer the questions.1.What are the two events in the passage?2. When did they happen?Reading the Title and First SentencesThe title can be helpful for you to understand a text. It is also a good idea to read the first sentence of each paragraph before you read the whole text.Do You Remember What You Were Doing?People often remember what they were doing when they heard the news of important events in history. In America, for example, many people remember what they were doing on April 4, 1968. This was an important event in American history. On this day, Dr. Martin Luther King was killed. Although some people may not remember who killed him, they remember what they were doing when they heard the news.Robert Allen is now over 50, but he was a school pupil at that time. “It was a bright, sunny day,” Robert remembers. “We were having fun in the playground when the school bell rang. Our teacher said, Dr. King died just 10 minutes ago. We were completely surprised!” School closed for the day, Robert and his friends walked home in silence.More recently, most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists. Even the date-September 11, 2001-has meaning to most Americans.This was a day Kate Smith will never forget. She remembers working in her office near the two towers. “My friend shouted that a plane just hit the World Trade Center! I didnt believe him at first, but then I looked out the window and realized that it was true. I was so scared that I could hardly think clearly after that.”Unit 6 An old man tried to move mountains.Section A2d Role-play the conversation.Teacher: So what do you think about the story of Yu Gong?Ming Ming: I think its really interesting. Yu Gong found a good way to solve his problem.Anna: Really? I think its a little bit silly. It doesnt seem very possible to move a mountain.Ming Ming: But the story is trying to show us that anything is possible if you work hard! Yu Gong kept trying and didnt give up.Anna: Well, I still dont agree with you. I think we should try to find other ways to solve a problem.Ming Ming: But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the mountains?Anna: Well, there are many other ways. For example, he could build a road. Thats better and faster than moving a mountain!Teacher: You have different opinions about the story, and neither of you are wrong. There are many sides to a story and many ways to understand it.3a Read the passage and answer the questions.1. Which book is talked about?2. Who is then main character?3.
