The yearbook comes out once a year, usually in the spring. It is a record of the school year- a “book of memories” for the students. Inside a yearbook is each students photo. The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the juniors. They are one year behind the seniors. Next come the sophomores, or second year students. The last photos are the first-year students, the freshmen. The yearbook is not only about students. The teachers have photos, too. The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of sports teams, academic subject, and extracurricular activities. These are activities students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design, and take photos all year for the yearbook. At the end of the year, the book is printed.In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose the “class clown” ( a funny student), the “most likely to succeed” ( a student everyone thinks will be successful), and the “best dressed” ( a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards and categories.Students typically sign each others yearbooks. This is especially important for the seniors, because they are graduating. Students write notes to each other, such as, “we had a lot of fun,” or “ Ill never forget you.” They also write about all the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together.Unit Two Activity 5 World greetings In Brazil, men often shake hands when they meet for the first time. When women meet, they kiss each other on the cheek. Women also kiss male friends to say hello. When you shake hands, look at the person in the eyes. This shows interest and friendliness. In New Zealand, usually, both men and women shake hands when they meet someone for the first time, if you see two people pressing their noses together, they are probably Maori. The Maori are the native people of New Zealand. This is their traditional greeting. In Japan, when people meet for the first time, they usually bow. In business, people also shake hands. In formal situation, people often exchange business cards. When you give a business card, give it with two hands. This is polite. Special note: in Japan, when people smile it can have different meanings. It usually means that the person is happy, or that the person thinks something I funny. But is can also mean that the person is embarrassed.Unit ThreeActivity 5 The healthiest people in the worldThe healthiest lifestyle in the world? In many countries around the world, people are living longer than before. People have healthier lifestyles, and healthcare is better too. Okinawa is an island off the coast of Japan. The people on Okinawa, the Okinawans, may have the longest lives and healthiest lifestyles in the world. Researchers did a study. They started their study by looking at city and town birth records from 1879. They didnt expect to find many centenarians in the records. They were very surprised to find so many old and healthy habits as well. They dont do hard exercise such as weightlifting or jogginginstead, they prefer relaxing activities like gardening and walking. Researchers say that older Okinawans also have a good attitude about aging. They sit quietly and relax their minds with deep breathing exercises. They also enjoy massage.Unit FourActivity 5 TrendspottingToday I started my new part-time job as a trendspotter. I was nervous and didnt know what to expect. Well, guess what? It was a lot of fun! Im telling all my friends, “ You should think about becoming tredspotter, too!” On Saturday morning, we had to report to a recording studio by 10 a.m. The “Trends Coordinator”, Mandy, explained the schedule. Then she gave us a tour. That was really cool! Next we sat around a big table in a room. They gave each person three cards. One card said “ Yes-All the way!” Another said, “Its OK.” The third one said, “No way!” We listened to about 10 different songs. After each song we had to hold up a card. They played some hip hop, rock, heavy metal, and dance music. The heavy metal was “No way” for me. Do you know the rock group called “Gifted”? Theyre really popular right now. Well, they have a new CD coming out. We saw six different CD covers. I guess they are trying to choose one. This time, we didnt have any cards. Instead, we just talked about the covers we liked. Mandy asked us questions: “ Which ones do you like?” “Why do you like them?” “Would you buy a CD with this cover?” We finished at 12:30. We will meet again next week at a boutique downtown. We will look at some new fashions. Each week we go to a different location. Oh yeas, we also received a free CD for our work. This “job” doesnt pay, but we get free stuff!Unit FiveActivity 5 The Marfa mystery lightsQ: Where is Marfa and what exactly is it famous for?A: Marfa is a small town in west Texas in the Unites states.

A man first saw the mystery lights over 100 years ago. The man was Robert Ellison and the year was 1883.

Q: Are the local people scared?A: No, actually, they arent. They like the lights. And every year in early September theres a big town festival to celebrate the mystery lights.翻译参考答案：UNIT 1Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world.
