As a mountain climber, Aron isused totakingrisks.Thisisoneof the exciting things about doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents. On April 26, 2003, hefound himself in a very dangeroussituationwhenclimbinginUtah.On that day, Arons arm was caught under a 360-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, heclimbeddownthemountainto findhelp.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 love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept onclimbingmountainsevenafterthisexperience.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 decisionthatcouldmeanlifeordeath.阿伦罗尔斯顿是一个对登山感兴趣的美国人。作为一个登山者，Aron习惯于冒险。这项危险运动是一个令人兴奋的事情之一。有很多次阿伦因为事故差点丢了性命。2003年4月26日，他在犹他登山时发现自己处于非常危险的境地。在那一天，Aron的手臂被夹在3600公斤的岩石，落在他身上时，他自己在山里爬山。因为他不能自由的手臂，他在那里呆了五天，希望有人会找到他。但当他的水用完了，他知道他将不得不做一些事情来挽救自己的生命。他还没有准备好那天死去。因此，他用他的刀割了他的右手臂的一半。然后，用左臂缠着绷带，他自己，他不会失去太多的血。在那之后，他爬上了山，找到了帮助。失去了他的手臂后，他写了一本书，名叫一块岩石和一个坚硬的地方。这意味着在一个困难的情况下，你似乎无法摆脱。在这本书中，Aron讲述了做出好的决定的重要性，并能控制自己的生活。他是如此热爱登山，即使在这段经历之后，他仍不停地攀登山峰。我们有同样的精神，Aron？让我们先考虑一下，在我们发现自己“在一个岩石和一个坚硬的地方之间”之前，我们必须做出一个决定，这可能意味着生命或死亡。P11 Unit2Illhelptocleanupthecityparks我将帮助清理城市公园StudentsWhoVolunteer学生志愿者Mario Green and Mary Brown from Riverside High School give up several hourseachweektohelpothers.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. “Its hard work,” hesays, “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 ownersfaces.”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 doand help others at the same time.Mario Green和Mary Brown从河边高中放弃几个小时每周帮助别人。马里奥喜欢动物，想成为一个动物医生。他每个星期六早上都在动物医院的志愿者。马里奥相信它可以帮助他得到他未来的梦想工作。“这是一种艰苦的工作，”他说，“但我想了解更多关于如何照顾动物的。当我看到动物们变得更好，他们的主人的脸上的喜悦的表情，我得到了这样一种强烈的满足感。玛丽是一个书的情人。她四岁时就可以自己读了。去年，她决定尝试一个志愿者的课外阅读计划，她仍然每周工作一次，帮助孩子们学会阅读。孩子们坐在图书馆里，但你可以看到他们的眼睛，他们正在进行一个不同的旅程与每一本新书。在这里做志愿者是我的梦想。我可以做我喜欢做的，并帮助别人在同一时间P14 IllSendYouaPhotoofLucky我会给你一张幸运的照片DearMissLi,亲爱的李小姐Id like to thank you for giving money to Animal Helpers.

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?” sheasked.“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 youare!”Ishoutedback.Mymomdidnotsayanythingandwalkedaway.Foroneweek,shedidnotdoanyhouseworkand neitherdidI.Finally,Icouldnotfindacleandishoraclean 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 weneedtosharethehouseworkto haveacleanandcomfortablehome,”Ireplied.上个月，当我从学校回家时，我们的狗在欢迎我。他想走，但我太累了。我放下我的包，走到客厅去了。当我坐在电视机前的那一刻，我的妈妈走了过来。“你能带狗去散步吗？”“她问。“我可以先看一个节目吗？“我问。“没有！她生气地回答说。“你一直在看电视，从不在家里帮忙！我不能整天工作，一整天都在做家务。”“嗯，我也在学校里工作。”！我和你一样累！“我喊回来我的妈妈什么也没说，走开了。一个星期，她没有做任何家务，我也没有。最后，我找不到一个干净的盘子或一件干净的衬衫。第二天，我妈妈下班回家，发现房子又干净又整洁。“发生了什么事？她惊讶地问。我很抱歉，妈妈。我终于明白，我需要分担家务，有一个干净，舒适的家，“我回答说。P22 Skimming略读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. 这意味着很快通过一段文字，找到主要的想法，而不阅读每一个字。读每一段的第一句话还是一个好主意DearSir, 亲爱的先生，Ido not understand why some parents make their kids help with houseworkand chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not 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 houseworksothere is no need for them to do it now. It is the parentsjob to provide a clean and comfortable environment athomefortheirchildren. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult.Ido not minddoingthem.Ms.Miller我不明白为什么有些父母会让他们的孩子在家里做家务和家务活。现在的孩子们已经有足够的压力了。他们没有时间学习和做家务，太。做家务是浪费时间。我们可以让他们做他们的学生的工作吗？他们应该把时间花在学习上，以便取得好成绩，进入一所好大学。此外，当他们长大了，他们将不得不做家务，所以没有必要他们现在这样做。父母的工作是为他们的孩子提供一个干净舒适的家里的环境。无论如何，我认为做家务不是那么困难。我不介意做他们。DearSir,I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents withhousework.It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always asking, “Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helps to develop childrens independence andteaches 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.Mr.Smith认为重要的是让孩子学会如何做家务，并帮助他们的父母做家务。在学校里取得好成绩是不够的。如今的孩子们依靠他们的父母太多了。他们总是在问：“你能帮我拿这个吗？”“或者”你能帮我吗？做家务有助于培养孩子的独立性，并教他们如何照顾自己。它也有助于他们理解公平的理念。因为他们和他们的父母住在一所房子里，他们应该知道每个人都应该尽自己的一部分保持干净整洁。我们的邻居的儿子上了一所好大学，但在他的第一年，他不知道如何照顾自己。因此，他经常生病，他的成绩下降了。早期的孩子学会独立，这是为了他们的未来。P27 Unit 4 Whydontyoutalktoyourparents?你为什么不跟你的父母说话呢？DearMr.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?SadandThirteenDearSadandThirteen,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 youre 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 things will be better for you soon.RobertHunt我的问题是我不能和我的家人相处。我父母之间的关系变得很困难。他们打了很多，我真的不喜欢它。这是他们唯一的沟通。我不知道我该不该对他们说些什么。当他们争论时，它就像一个大的，黑色的云挂在我们的家里。此外，我的哥哥对我不是很好。他总是拒绝让我看我最喜欢的电视节目。相反，他看他想要的东西，直到深夜。我不认为这是公平的。在家里我总是感到孤独和紧张。这是正常的吗？我能做什么？这是不容易的是你的年龄，这是正常的有这些感情。你为什么不跟你的家人谈谈这些感受呢？如果你的父母有问题，你应该提供帮助。也许你可以在房子周围做更多的工作，以便他们有更多的时间进行适当的沟通。第二，你为什么不坐下来和你的兄弟沟通？你应该解释说你不介意他一直看电视。然而，他应该让你看你最喜欢的节目。我希望一切都会对你更好。P30 MaybeYouShouldLearntoRelax!也许你应该学会放松！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, “Itake 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 7:00p.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 bekids? 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 tohavehappychildren.”这些天，中国的孩子有时周末比平常还要忙，因为他们把那么多的课外辅导班。他们中的许多人学习考试的技能，使他们可以进入一个很好的高中，后来一所好大学。其他人正在练习运动，以便他们可以竞争和取胜。然而，这不仅发生在中国。泰勒斯是一个典型的美国家庭。Cathy Taylor的三个孩子的生活很忙。“在放学后的大多数日子里，”凯西说，“我带了我的两个男孩去参加篮球训练，我的女儿参加了足球训练。然后我必须带我的其他儿子上钢琴课。也许我可以减少他们的一些活动，但我相信这些活动对我的孩子的未来是重要的。我真的希望他们是成功的。“然而，孩子们累了，不到7:00，他们有一个快速的晚餐后回家，然后做作业的时间。Linda Miller，三个孩子的母亲，她知道这样的压力。“在一些家庭，竞争开始很年轻，并一直持续到孩子们长大，”她说。“母亲把孩子们送去各种各样的课。他们总是把他们和其他孩子进行比较。这是疯狂的。我不认为这是公平的。为什么他们不让他们的孩子成为孩子呢？人们不应该把他们的孩子这么难。医生说，太多的压力对孩子的发展是不好的。Alice Green博士说，所有这些活动都会给孩子们带来很大的压力。“孩子们应该有时间放松和思考自己，太。虽然想要成功的孩子是正常的，但要有快乐的孩子就更重要了。P35 Unit5 What were you doingwhentherainstormcame?当暴风雨来的时候你在做什么？TheStormBroughtPeopleCloserTogetherBen 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 thataheavyrainstormwasinthearea.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.Benwashelpinghismommakedinnerwhentherainbegantobeatheavilyagainst the windows. After dinner, they tried to play a card game, but it was hard to have fun withaseriousstormhappeningoutside.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.风暴使人们更接近本能听到他在亚拉巴马州的家外的强风。黑色的云使天空变得很黑暗。外面没有光，感觉像是午夜。电视新闻报道说该地区有一次大暴雨。附近的每个人都很忙。本的爸爸把木头在窗户的时候，他的妈妈正在确保手电筒和收音机的工作。她还放了一些蜡烛和火柴在桌子上。本正在帮助他的妈妈做饭，雨开始在窗户上重重地打了一顿。晚饭后，他们试图玩纸牌游戏，但很难有乐趣与一个严重的风暴发生在外面。本第一次睡不着。他终于睡着了，当风平息下来大约在凌晨3点，当他醒来时，太阳正在升起。他和他的家人一起出去，发现附近有一片混乱。倒下的树，破碎的窗户和垃圾到处都是。他们加入了邻居，帮助清理附近的邻居。虽然暴风雨打破了许多东西，它带来了家庭和邻居更紧密的联系在一起。P38Do You Remember WhatYouWereDoing?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 homeinsilence.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.”你还记得你在做什么吗人们常常记得当他们听到历史上重要事件的消息时，他们在做什么。例如，在美国，许多人记得他们在1968年4月4日做的什么。这是美国历史上的一个重要事件。在这一天，马丁路德金博士被杀。虽然有些人可能不记得是谁杀了他，但他们记得当他们听到这个消息时，他们在做什么。Robert Allen现在已经50岁了，但当时他是一个学校的学生。“这是一个明亮，阳光灿烂的一天，”罗伯特回忆说。“当学校的铃声响起时，我们在操场上玩的很开心。我们的老师说，金博士在10分钟前就死了，我们都很惊讶！“学校关闭了一天，罗伯特和他的朋友们在沉默中走回家。最近，大多数美国人记得他们在纽约的世界贸易中心被恐怖分子袭击时所做的事情。即使是2001年9月11日的日期对大多数美国人也有意义。这一天Kate Smith永远不会忘记。她记得在两个塔附近的办公室里工作。我的朋友大声说，一架飞机撞上世贸中心！我起初不相信他，但后来我看了看窗外，意识到这是真的。我很害怕，我几乎想不清楚。”P43Unit61. Which book is talked about?2. Who is the main character?3. What is he like?In November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing this story for the first time. However, this story is not new to Chinese children. The Monkey King or Sun Wukong is the main character in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.The Monkey King is not just any normal monkey. In fact, he sometim
