14、d more serious than most kids.Thats why I like reading books and I study harder in class.My best friend Yuan Li is quiet too,so we enjoy studying together.Im shy so its not easy for me to make friends.But I think friends are like booksyou dont need a lot of them as long as theyre good.Its not necess

15、ary to be the same.My best friend Larry is quite different from me.He is taller and more outgoing than me.We both like sports,but he plays tennis better,so he always wins.However,Larry often helps to bring out the best in me.So Im getting better at tennis.Larry is much less hard-working,though.I alw

16、ays get better grades than he does,so maybe I should help him more.I dont really care if my friends are the same as me or different.My favorite saying is,“a true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.”My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny.In fact,shes funnier than anyone I

17、 know.I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better.We can talk about and share everything.I know she cares about me because shes always there to listen.Unit 4 Everyone is good at something,but some people are truly talented.Its always interesting to watch other people show their ta

18、lents.Talent shows are getting more and more popular.First,there were shows like American Idol and Americans Got Talent.All these shows have one thing in common:They try to look for the best singers,the most talented dancers,the most exciting magicians,the funniest actors and so on.All kinds of peop

19、le join these shows.But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully?Thats up to you to decide.When people watch the show,they usually play a role in deciding the winner.And the winner always gets a very good prize.However,not everybody enjoys watching these shows.Some think that the

20、 lives of the performers are made up.For example,some people who say they are poor farmers are in fact just actors.But if you dont take these shows too seriously,they are fun to watch.And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.Unit 5When people say“c

21、ulture”,we think of art and history.But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon.We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears-Mickey Mouse.Over 80 years ago,he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie.When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18,1928,i

22、t was the first cartoon with sound and music.The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney.He became very rich and successful.In the 1930s,he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular.One of the main reasons is that Mickey was a common man,but he always tri

23、ed to face any danger.In his early films,Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend,Minnie.However,he was always ready to try his best.People went to the cinema to see the“little man”win.Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.On November 18,1978,Mickey became the

24、first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.Todays cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse,but everyone still knows and loves him.Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickeys?Unit 61.Do you know what a resolution is?Its a kind of promise.Most of the time

25、,we make promises to other people.(“Mom,I promise Im going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”)However,promises you make to yourself are resolutions,and the most common kind is New Years resolutions.The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions.When we make resolutions at th

26、e beginning of the year,we hope that we are going to improve our lives.Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year.This helps them to remember their resolutions.Others tell their family and friends about their wish and plans.2.There are different kinds of resolutions.Some

27、are about physical health.For example,some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food.Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement.There are about making yourself a better person.Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painti

28、ng or taking photos,or learn to play the guitar.Some resolutions have to do with better planning,like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.For example,a student may have to find more time to study.3.Although there are differences,most resolutions have one thing in common.People hardly ever keep them!

29、There are good reasons for this.Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.Sometimes people just forget about them.For this reason,some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions!How about you will you make any resolutions next year?Unit 71.When we watch movies about the fu

30、ture,we sometimes see robots.They are usually like human servants.They help with the housework and do jobs like working in dirty or dangerous places.2.Today there are already robots working in factories.Some can help to build cars,and they do simple jobs over and over again.Fewer people will do such

31、 jobs in the future because they are boring,but robots will never get bored.3.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do.Some robots in Japan can walk and dance.They are fun to watch.However,some scientists believe that although we can make robots move

32、like people,it will be difficult to make them really think like a human.For example,scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are.But many scientists disagree with Mr.White.They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years

33、.4.Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future.However,they agree it may take hundreds of years.These new robots will have many different shapes.Some will look like humans,and others might look like animals.In India,for example,scientists made robots that look like snakes.If

34、 buildings fall down with people inside,these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings.This was not possible 20 years ago,but computers and rockets also seemed impossible 100 years ago.We never know what will happen in the future!Unit 8Thanksgiving in North AmericaIn most countries,

35、people usually eat traditional food on special holidays.A special day in North America is Thanksgiving.In Unit States,this festival is always on the fouth Thursday in November,but in Canada it falls on the second Monday in October.Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for food in the autumn and othe

36、r good things people enjoy in life.Families see Thanksgiving as a time to get together and usually celebrate it with a big family meal.The main dish of this meal is almost always turkey,a large bird.To go with the turkey,people often prepare other things,such as gravy,cornbread,mashed potatoes,and p

37、umpkin or apple pie.Making a turkey dinnerHere is one way to make turkey for a Thanksgiving dinner.First,mix together some bread pieces,onions,salt and pepper.Next,fill the turkey with this bread mix.Then,put the turkey in a hot oven and cook it for a few hours.When it is ready,place the turkey on a

38、 large plate and cover it with gravy.Finally,cut the turkey into thin pieces and eat the meat with vegetables like carrots and potatoes.Unit 91.accept an invitation 2.make an invitation3.turn down an invitationMessage New Reply Forward Delete Print Move toHi David,What a great idea!I really like Ms.

45、s,a teenager from nothing.Laura Mills,a teenager from London,agrees.”Problems and worries are normal in London,agrees.”Problems and worries are normal in life,”says Laura.“But I think talking to someone helps a life,”says Laura.“But I think talking to someone helps a lot.Unless we talk to someone,we

46、ll certainly feel lot.Unless we talk to someone,well certainly feel worse.”worse.”Laura once lost her wallet,and worried for days.She was afraid to tell her parents about it.She even walked three miles to school each day because she didnt have any money.She just kept thinking,“If I tell my parents,t

47、heyll be angry!”In the end,she talked to her parents and they were really understanding.Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself.They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful.“I will always remember to share my problems in the future!”Laura says.Robot Hunt advises studen

48、ts about common problems.He feels the same ways as Laura.“It is best not to run away from our problems.We should always try to solve them.”He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to.This person doesnt need to be an expert like himself.Students often forget that their parents have more experience,and are always there to help them.In English,we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half.So youre halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it!
