Mr.Jacks on:Hello,Betty.What’s up?
Betty:Iwant to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.
Mr.Jackson:So,who are your great writers?
Betty:Well,maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.
Mr.Jackson:Really?I accept that they’re great because their works are still read bay many people today.But I think I’d describe
Confucius more as a teacher and thinker than a writer.He was
a very wise man.What do you have to do for the discussion? Betty:Well,each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion.
Mr.Jackson:I see.We’re still influenced by Confucius ideas,and
Shakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to us
today.People have always read,and will always read great
books.By the way,what do you think of Mark Twain,the
Great American writer in the nineteenth century?
Betty:He wasn’t important,but I suppose he isn’t as well-know as
Confucius or Shakespeare.
Mr.Jackson:No,but his books are still popular,and one of his book is my favourite,The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
Betty:Great!Why don’t you join in the discussion and tell us about it?
A book review of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
By Betty King.
One of my favourite great books is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,by Mark Twain.The story is set in the town of St Petersburg,Missouri,the US,in the nineteenth century.It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.
Tom,the hero of the book,lives with his aunt Polly.He is a lively and clever boy.He does not like people telling him what to do,so he always gets into trouble.He and his best friend,Huck Finn,run away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River.Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for https://www.doczj.com/doc/b18784073.html,ter,Tom escapes from a cave with another friend,Becky.He also finds Injun Joe’s treasure box and takes it away.
My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Hunk start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River.At first, they are happy.But when they hear that everyone thinks they are died,they feel very sorry,so they come back home.They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours coming to their funeral in the church.Then Tom and Huck suddenly appear.Everyone is surprised to see them at first,but very pleased to find that they are alive.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It’s more than an adventure story.Mark Twain wrote it in 1876.it describes people’slives in the southern states of America at that time.It tells how young people grow,how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions.It’s written in everyday English,and the dialogues sound especially real.Today,it is still read and loved by people all over the world,and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.
Lingling: Hi, Tony. You look tired.
Tony:Yes. I'm training for the big match next week.
Betty: Who are you playing against?
Daming: HAS.
Lingling: What does HAS stand for?
Tony: Haidian All Stars.
Betty: Oh, yes. It’ll be a difficult match.Didn’t they beat you last time?
Tony:Yes,they did.But...
Lingling: What was the score?
Betty: If my memory is correct, HAS 98 points to BIG 52.
Tony:But Daming wasn’t chosen for the tea last time.That was a bad decision.We can’t play well without him.
Lingling:That’s no excuse!
Tony:But Daming is back now.There is no difference between the two teams this season. Betty:When is the match?
Tony: It’s next Saturday at afternoon,but if you want good seats,you should come by 11:30. Are you coming?
Betty: I’m not sure.Do you think they’ll win,Lingling?
Lingling: No way!How many matches have you played against HAS this year?
Tony:Well, about three.
Betty:And how many has HAS won?
Tony:Er...most of them.
Betty: Wrong!All of them!Face the truth,Tony.You've got no chance!
Tony:I don’t agree.That’s not fair!
(Tony leaves angrily.)
Lingling:Remember to throw the ball,not kick it,Tony!
Betty:He’s so mad at us that he’ll try harder to win,just to show we’re wrong!
Lingling:Nice work,Betty!I do hope they win this time.We’ll be there to cheer for them.
Liu Xiang-Trained to win.
For Liu Xiang, life as a sports hero began in 2004. First, he was invited to competitions around the world. Then,he was chosen for the Chinese team at the Athens Olympic Games and won a gold medal.
Liu Xiang was not a successful sportsman at first. He was born in Shanghai on 13th July, 1983 and started training when he was very young. In Grade 4, he went to the Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai. Liu was encouraged at first to train for the high jump.
In 1998, Liu Xiang’s ability in hurdling was noticed by Sun Haiping,who later became his coach.In 2001, a special programme was set up to help young sportsmen and sportswomen.Liu Xiang was among them.His races were recorded, and he was compared with the world's best sports stars. Sun Haiping used the information to change his training methods for Liu Xiang. In May 2001,He won his first international 110m hurdles race in Japan. In 2004, He won the first Olympic gold medal for China in the 110m hurdles race,and at the same time broke the Olympic Games record.It was also the first time an Olympic gold medals for hurdling was hang round the neck of a sportsperson from an Asian country.
Liu Xiang trained very hard.In fact,he trained so hard that he hurt his foot.From 2008 on,he suffered a lot from his foot problem,but he did not give up.Though he missed some competitions,he still returned to first place in the world 110m hurdles race in 2012.
It is a pity that his foot problem stopped him from completing the 2012 London Olympic Games.But he is still a symbol of courage and success,and we continue to take great pride in him.
Tony:Dad, can I borrow your camera?
Dad:Why?
Tony:I'd like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week.They’ll be put up on the school website.And they can be seen on the Internet by other classes,even people living in other countries.
Dad:Sounds great!When I was at school,we wait for weeks to hear from our pen friends abroad.But today,we can send and receive photos and mails on the Internet,and it’s really fast.
Tony:Yes, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives.We even use online textbooks in our class.I wonder...Will computers be used more than books in the future.
Dad:Perhaps.In the past,we mainly got information from paper books.Some are huge ones with thousands of pages.Today,with the invention with the computer and the electronic technology ,it’s easy to get information on the Internet .The Internet is more powerful than books.
Tony:Anyway,about the camera...?
Dad:Oh,yes.Here it is. I haven’t used it since your mum’s birthday.And the memory may be full.
Tony:OK.That can be fixed.I’ve got an empty memory card.Where are the instructions.
Dad:In the camera bag.It’s a gift from your mum for my birthday,so you must promise that you’ll take good care of it.If you have to lend it to anyone,tell them to use it properly.
Tony:Promise!
Will books be replaced by the Internet.
Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?
Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China.After its invention, people start to write on paper to make a book. In those days, books were only be produced one at a timeby hand. As a result, they were not many books,and they were expensive and rare. So few people had the chance to learn to read.
Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang https://www.doczj.com/doc/b18784073.html,ter,developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply.A trade in books resulted,and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spreadfaster than ever before.In a way,we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.
Although the Internet is stull young,it is growing very fast,and may become more powerful than printing.A much larger amount of information can be stored in more varied forms on the Internet than in books.Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find it in printed forms.And the machines we use to read it era now small and light,often smaller and lighter than a single book.
Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future?Will books be replaced b y the Internet?Let’s wait and see.
Tony:Dad,I need your help.My teacher asked us to choose a country we want to visit,imagine we were there,and write a letter to our parents back home.I have chosen Australia.How can I do it.
Dad:Don’t worry.I have some photos that I took in Australia last year.They may help you.Here we go.This is a rock called Ayers Rock,in central
Australia.According to the local people,it’s a special and magical place. Tony:Oh,it looks huge.What’s its height?
Dad:348 metres.And this is the Sydney Opera House.It’s like a huge sailing boat with water on three sides.And this one is the Great Barrier Reef.
Tony:Does it lie off the northeast coast of Australia?
Dad:Yes,it’s over 2600 kilometres long.It’s a great natural wonder.And here are some photos of my Australian friends.They’re sheep farmers.They wear
special hats that keep the flies away.The scissors that they are holding are
used to cut the wool off the sheep.Do you know that many Australians came from Britain?
Tony:Yes,of course!That’s why they speak English.Did you keep a diary while you were there?
Dad:Yes,and you can read it.
Tony:That’s great!And what didn’t you like about Australia?
Dad:I hated the ants that were all over place .I had to brush them off my thes,escially my trousers!
Tony:Ants in your trousers!that’s really funny!
Dad:It wasn’t funny at the time!
Dear Mum and Dad,
I'm writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment, we're staying near Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a plane tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high!During different perioods of the day, the colours of the rock ture dark blue,purple,yellow and red.Ayers Rock is a centre of local Aboriginal culture. The Aborigines are the people that have lived in Australia from the earliest times,and their ancient stories describe the spirits that created the world.
The Australians have a close relationship with the British. Many have British relatives, and they're like us in many ways. The food that Australians like most are ham and beef with lots of salad.They also grow grapes and other fruits. They love all sports, but the game that they like most is Australia football. Because most Australians live near the coast, they also love going to the beach for swimming and surfing or just lying in the sun.
Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sun is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the middle of the country has no trees or grass,just rocks and sand...And kangaroos!
Australians speak English,but in their own way.For example,when they say “G’day!” and "No worries.", they mean "Hello!" and "Don't worry about it. It's not a problem!"On the second day,we went horse riding. The horse that I rode was lazy, so I was left far behind the others.but I enjoyed the slow and relaxing ride.
Later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It has been a wonderful trip!
Love,
Tony

Tony:That’s a good idea.What about that photo of my cousin flying kites with Chinese kids in the Summer Palace?And the one of him reading a Chinese menu for the first time in Cambridge?

Lingling:After our lesson on the environment,I’m worried about the future.
Pollution is our gret enemy,and we have to fight it.If the rivers are
polluted ,farmers can’t use the water for their crops.
Tony:And in some places,pollution from factories spreads over cities and villages.It makes people ill,and may even kill them.Pollution is a danger to our health.
Betty:And there are so many cars on the roads.They use so much oil and cause pollution as well.
Daming:But we’ve only students.We can’t do anything about factories and cars. Betty:It’s no use talking about things we can’t do.We’ve got to think of things we can do!
Daming:Such as...?
Lingling:Do you think we can make our school a green school?
Daming:What’s a green school?
Lingling;At a green school,every class collects waste which we can be recycled or used again.Then the school sells the waste and use the money to help
students in poor areas.
Daming:Nice idea!
Betty:Students at a green school also learn ways to save energy and recycle at home.That means less waste.
Tony:That’s a good idea.Though pollution is heavy now,I don’t think it’s hopeless.If everyone starts to do something,the world will be saved.
How to be green.
By Wang Lingling.
How green are you? Answer these questions and find out.
?Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school?
?Do you buy new clothes just because they are modern?
?Do you turn off the lights when you leave home?
?Do you take your own bag when shopping and no ask for a plastic bags?
?Do you buy drinks in bottles?And what do you do with the bottles when they are empty?
?Do you divide the waste into things to recycle and things to throw away?
We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day, and it is harmful to our environment. Repeat these three words daily: Reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce
Reduce means "use less". Do not waste things. It saves money and causes less pollution.Do you order more food than you can finish.Turn off the lights when you do not need them.Before you buy something new,think whether it is really necessary,because maybe the old one is just as good!
Reuse
Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. Look after them so that they will last.Repair them if possible.Do not throw them away and buy new ones.Do not use paper cups or paper bags.It’s better to use china cups and cloth bags because they can be used many times.
Recycle
Recycle means "change things into something else to be reused". Although it takes energy to change things into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Divide your rubbish into plastic,glass,paper and rubber.Develop a recyling policy for the whole community.But products suah as recycled paper to help save trees.
We cannot hope for rapid change,but let’s take these simple steps today so that we will save the woeld for our grandsons and granddaughters tomorrow.

Module 1 When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see. After about a mile, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied. “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it. Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was looking across the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world. I looked down to the Colorado River, from here a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of the each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still wouldn’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It’s about fifteen miles, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away, about 277 miles long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It’s huge! I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself, “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?” I certainly know the answer. But what do you think? Module 2 Thanksgiving is an American festival. People give thanks for their food. It’s celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November and it’s a time for a special dinner among family and friends. We’ve celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn, catch fish and keep cows, sheep and hens. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food. We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is the most crowded room in our house because we all help to prepare the food there. We lay the table, then before we begin dinner, my father gives praise for the food, so we remember where the festival comes from. We usually eat too much, but it’s only once a year! We often listen to speeches and tell stories after dinner as well. When it’s all over everyone helps wash the dishes.

2014人民教育出版社九年级英语教科书课本课文目录 Unit1 how can we become good learners How I Learned to Learn English Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything. Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary. Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I

But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary. Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies. Unit4 I used to be afraid of the dark A_3a From Shy Girl to Pop Star For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that sheused to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and lovessinging in front of crowds. I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel andmeetne w people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do.And I don’t have much private time anymore.Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.” What does Candy have to say to all those young peoplewhowant to become famous? “Well,” she b egins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine howdifficultthe road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.”
M7 U1 Mr.Jacks on:Hello,Betty.What’s up? Betty:Iwant to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers. Mr.Jackson:So,who are your great writers? Betty:Well,maybe Confucius and Shakespeare. Mr.Jackson:Really?I accept that they’re great because their works are still read bay many people today.But I think I’d describe Confucius more as a teacher and thinker than a writer.He was a very wise man.What do you have to do for the discussion? Betty:Well,each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion. Mr.Jackson:I see.We’re still influenced by Confucius ideas,and Shakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to us today.People have always read,and will always read great books.By the way,what do you think of Mark Twain,the Great American writer in the nineteenth century? Betty:He wasn’t important,but I suppose he isn’t as well-know as Confucius or Shakespeare.
M1 U1 Tony:Let`s call Wonders of the World and join in the discussion. I think natural wonders are more interesting than man-made ones. And I think the Giant`s Causeway is the most fantastic natural wonder. Lingling:Hm,I`ve never seen it,so I`m not sure I agree with do you like it,Tony? Tony:Well,I visited the Giant`s Causeway two years `s huge. There`re about 40,000 rocks,most of them with six sides. It goes for several hundred metres on the eastem coast of Northem Ireland. Lingling:That sounds great,though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic. They`re about 1,700 metres wide and 100 metres can hear the loud noise a few kilometres away. Betty:Wow,tha`s huge! But in my opinion,man-made wonders are more exciting than natural at the Terracotta `s more than 2,000 years old. Daming:I agree with you,Betty. And I think the Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. It`s about 2,300 metres long,185 metres high and 15 metres wide at the top. It lions of people in China. Betty:Now,who`d like to call first? M1 U2 A great wonder of the natural world When I arrived,it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east—the sky was becoming got out of the car,went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see,but I knew it was there. After about a mile,a stranger appeared beside the path.“Am I going the right way?”I knew where I was going,“yes,”he replied,“you`ll get there in five minutes.”

Module 1 When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see. After about a mile, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,”he replied. “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it. Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was looking across the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world. I looked down to the Colorado River, from here a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of the each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still wouldn’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It’s about fifteen miles, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away, about 277 miles long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It’s huge! I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself, “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?”I certainly know the answer. But what do you think? Module 2 Thanksgiving is an American festival. People give thanks for their food. It’s celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November and it’s a time for a special dinner among family and friends. We’ve celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn, catch fish and keep cows, sheep and hens. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food. We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is the most crowded room in our house because we all help to prepare the food there. We lay the table, then before we begin dinner, my father gives praise for the food, so we remember where the festival comes from. We usually eat too much, but it’s only once a year! We often listen to speeches and tell stories after dinner as well. When it’s all over everyone helps wash the dishes. The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. After we finish the Thanksgiving Day festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, along with thousands of people as it goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy’s Store. Thanksgiving is also the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.
