We chose the first. Up early,my husband and I and our three children couldnt wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail. As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldnt help noticing that the other tourists werent like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles and hats. But as usual we were dressed, As the sun rose higher, Arizonas famous heat seemed to roast(烘烤)us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after wed had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转)the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally Id suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.1.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A.They made a careful preparation before the tripB.The children were more joyful than their parents.C.Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.D.The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.2.The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means .A.we were weak B.we were unhappy C.we were dissatisfied D.we were disappointed3.Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?A.It proved to be frightening. B.It was more comfortableC.It turned out to be exciting D.It made each of them tired.4.We can infer from the passage that .A.experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best wayB.one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon.C.the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.D.the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.BThe meaning of the word “volunteer ” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers dont expect any kind of pay. At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresas homes in Calcutta. The following is her story. “I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.” “I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I dont think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”5.According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who _. A.is willing to help those in need without pay B.can afford to travel to different places C.has a strong wish to be successful D.has made a big fortune in life6.Tracy started her work as a volunteer _. A.after she met Mother Teresa B.after she finished high school C.when she was touring Calcutta D.when she was working in a hospital7.Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer? A.She liked to work with Mother Teresa. B.She had already had some experience. C.She was asked by Mother Teresas example. D.She wanted to follow Mother Teresas example.8.What is Tracys “new idea” (Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer? A.Going abroad to help the sick. B.Working in Mother Teresas home. C.Doing simple things to help the poor. D.Improving oneself through helping others.M9U4 Behind beliefsSection (language points)Reading（预习单）（30分钟）复习目标和要求：1.回顾本单元的重要知识点2.识记本单元重点短语及句子.重点知识再现：（key words review）1.expression （1）词语，短语，（言语的）措辞various expressions of politeness 种种表示礼貌的词语（2）表达，表现beyond expression 无法形容， 无法表达The beauty of the West Lake is beyond expression.西湖的美是无法形容的。（3）表情facial expressions 面部表情express vt.express ones ideas/express oneself表达自己的意思2.translate 翻译,转译，使转化,使转变 Robin doesnt speak German so Ill have to translate.translateinto将译成，将转化This book is said to have been translated into three foreign languages.据说这本书已经被翻译成三种外国语言。I wonder how your religious beliefs would translate into
