1.Unit1 MARTYS STORY

Hi, my name is Marty Fielding and I guess you could say that I am "one in a million".In other words, there are not many people like me. You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can't run or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors don't know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live one day at a time.

Until I was ten years old I was the same as everyone else. I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope. , Even after all that, no one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds.

One problem is that I don't look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs. Sometimes, too, I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others.

My life is a lot easier at high school because my fellow students have accepted me. The few who cannot see the real person inside my body do not make me annoyed, and I just ignore them. All in all I have a good life. I am happy to have found many things I can do, like writing and computer programming. My ambition is to work for a firm that develops computer software when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around feeling sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends, I spend a lot of time with my pets. I have two rabbits, a parrot, a tank full of fish and a tortoise. To look after my pets properly takes a lot of time but I find it worthwhile. I also have to do a lot of work, especially if I have been away for a while.

In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more

independent. I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If I had a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun of them, and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live as rich and full a life as you do.

Thank you for reading my story.

Marty

2.Unit 1 A LETTER TO AN ARCHITECT

Dear Ms Sanders,

I read in the newspaper today that you are to be the architect for the new Bankstown cinema.

I hope you will not mind me writing to ask if you have thought about the needs of disabled customers. In particular I wonder if you have considered the following things:

1 Adequate access for wheelchairs. It would be handy to have lifts to all parts of the cinema. The buttons in the lifts should be easy for a person in a wheelchair to reach, and the doors be wide enough to enter. In some cinemas, the lifts are at the back of the cinema in cold, unattractive places. As disabled people have to use the lifts, this makes them feel they are not as important as other customers.

2 Earphones for people who have trouble hearing. It would help to fit sets of earphones to all seats, not just to some of them. This would allow hearing-impaired customers to enjoy the company of their hearing friends rather than having to sit in a special area.

3 Raised seating. People who are short cannot always see the screen. So I'd like to suggest that the seats at the back be placed higher than those at the front so that everyone can see the screen easily. Perhaps there could be a space at the end of each row for people in wheelchairs to sit next to their friends.

4 Toilets. For disabled customers it would be more convenient to place the toilets near the entrance to the cinema. It can be difficult if the only disabled toilet is in the basement a long way from where the film is showing. And if the doors could be opened outwards, disabled customers would be very happy.

5 Car parking. Of course, there are usually spaces specially reserved for disabled and

elderly drivers.If they are close to the cinema entrance and/or exit, it is easier for disabled people to get to film in comfort.

Thank you for reading my letter. I hope my suggestions will meet with your approval. Disabled people should have the same opportunities as able-bodied people to enjoy the cinema and to do so with dignity. I am sure many people will praise your cinema if you design it with good access for disabled people. It will also make the cinema owners happy if more people go as they will make higher profits!

Yours sincerely,

Alice Major

3.Unit2 SATISFACTION GURANTEED

Larry Belmont worked for a company that made robots. Recently it had begun experimenting with a household robot. It was going to be tested out by Larry's wife, Claire.

Claire didn't want the robot in her house, especially as her husband would be absent for three weeks, but Larry persuaded her that the robot wouldn't harm her or allow her to be harmed. It would be a bonus. However, when she first saw the robot, she felt alarmed. His name was Tony and he seemed more like a human than a machine. He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voice although his facial expression never changed.

On the second morning Tony, wearing an apron, brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing. She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go. It was disturbing and frightening that he looked so human.

One day, Claire mentioned that she didn't think she was clever. Tony said that she must feel very unhappy to say that. Claire thought it was ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot. But she began to trust him. She told him how she was overweight and this made her feel unhappy. Also she felt her home wasn't elegant enough for someone like Larry who wanted to improve his social position. She wasn't like Gladys Claffern, one of the richest and most powerful women around.

As a favour Tony promised to help Claire make herself smarter and her home more elegant. So Claire borrowed a pile of books from the library for him to read, or rather, scan. She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned each page and suddenly reached for his hand. She was

amazed by his fingernails and the softness and warmth of his skin. How absurd, she thought. He was just a machine.

Tony gave Claire a new haircut and changed the makeup she wore. As he was not allowed to accompany her to the shops, he wrote out a list of items for her.Claire went into the city and bought curtains, cushions, a carpet and bedding. Then she went into a jewellery shop to buy a necklace. When the clerk at the counter was rude to her, she rang Tony up and told the clerk to speak to him. The clerk immediately changed his attitude. Claire thanked Tony, telling him that he was a "dear".As she turned around, there stood Gladys Claffern. How awful to be discovered by her, Claire thought. By the amused and surprised look on her face, Claire knew that Gladys thought she was having an affair. After all, she knew Claire's husband's name was Larry, not Tony.

When Claire got home, she wept with anger in her armchair. Gladys was everything Claire wanted to be. "You can be like her," Tony told her and suggested that she invite Gladys and her friends to the house the night before he was to leave and Larry was to return. By that time, Tony expected the house to be completely transformed.

Tony worked steadily on the improvements. Claire tried to help once but was too clumsy. She fell off a ladder and even though Tony was in the next room, he managed to catch her in time. He held her firmly in his arms and she felt the warmth of his body. She screamed, pushed him away and ran to her room for the rest of the day.

The night of the party arrived. The clock struck eight. The guests would be arriving soon and Claire told Tony to go into another room. At that moment, Tony folded his arms around her, bending his face close to hers. She cried out "Tony" and then heard him declare that he didn't want to leave her the next day and that he felt more than just the desire to please her. Then the front door bell rang. Tony freed her and disappeared from sight. It was then that Claire realized that Tony had opened the curtains of the front window. Her guests had seen everything !

The women were impressed by Claire, the house and the delicious cuisine. Just before they left, Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women! She might not be as beautiful as them, but none of them had such a handsome lover.

Then she remembered -Tony was just a machine. She shouted "Leave me alone" and ran to

her bed. She cried all night. The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away.

The company was very pleased with Tony's report on his three weeks with Claire.Tony had protected a human being from harm.He had prevented Claire from harming herself through her own sense of failure.He had opened the curtains that night so that the other women would see him and Claire, knowing that there was no risk to Claire's marriage.But even though Tony had been so clever, he would have to be rebuilt -you cannot have women failing in love with machines.

4.Unit2 A BIOGRAPHY OF ISAAC ASIMOV

Isaac Asimov was an American scientist and writer who wrote around 480 books that included mystery stories, science and history books, and even books about the Holy Bible and Shakespeare. 480But he is best known for his science fiction stories. Asimov had both an extraordinary imagination that gave him the ability to explore future worlds and an amazing mind with which he searched for explanations of everything, in the present and the past.

Asimov's life began in Russia, where he was born on 2 January, 1920. 192012 It ended in New York on 6 April, 1992, when he died as a result of an HIV infection that he had got from a blood transfusion nine years earlier.199246

When Asimov was three, he moved with his parents and his one-year-old sister to New York City. There his parents bought a candy store which they ran for the next 40 or so years. 40 At the age of nine, when his mother was pregnant with her third child, Asimov started working part-time in the store. He helped out through his school and university years until 1942, a year after he had gained a master's degree in chemistry. 1942 In 1942 he joined the staff of the Philadelphia Navy Yard as a junior chemist and worked there for three years. 1942In 1948 he got his PhD in chemistry. 1948 The next year he became a biochemistry teacher at Boston University School of Medicine. In 1958 he gave up teaching to become a full-time writer. 1958

It was when Asimov was eleven years old that his talent for writing became obvious. 11 He had told a friend two chapters of a story he had written. The friend thought he was retelling a story from a book. This really surprised Asimov and from that moment, he started to take himself seriously as a writer. Asimov began having stories published in science fiction magazines in 1939. 19391950 In 1950 he published his first novel and in 1953 his first science book. 1953 Throughout his life, Asimov received many awards, both for his science fiction books and his

science books. Among his most famous works of science fiction, one for which he won an award was the Foundation trilogy (1951-1953), three novels about the death and rebirth of a great empire in a galaxy of the future. 1951-1953 It was loosely based on the fall of the Roman Empire but was about the future. These books are famous because Asimov invented a theoretical framework which was designed to show how ideas and thinking may develop in the future. He is also well known for his collection of short stories, I, Robot (1950), in which he developed a set of three "laws" for robots. 1950)For example, the first law states that a robot must not injure human beings or allow them to be injured. Some of his ideas about robots later influenced other writers and even scientists researching into artificial intelligence.

Asimov was married twice. He married his first wife in 1942 and had a son and a daughter. 1942Their marriage lasted 31 years. 31 Soon after his divorce in 1973, Asimov married again but he had no children with his second wife. 1973

5.Unit 3 OLD TOM THE KILLER WHALE

I was 16 when I began work in June 1902 at the whaling station. 1902616 I had heard of the killers that every year helped whalers catch huge whales. I thought, at the time, that this was just a story but then I witnessed it with my own eyes many times.

On the afternoon I arrived at the station, as I was I sorting out my accommodation, I heard a loud noise coming from the bay. We ran down to the shore in time to see an enormous animal opposite us throwing itself out of the water and then crashing down again. It was black and white and fish-shaped. But I knew it wasn't a fish.

"That's Old Tom, the killer," one of the whalers, George, called out to me. "He's telling us there's a whale out there for us."

Another whaler yelled out, "Rush-oo ...rush-oo." This was the call that announced there was about to be a whale hunt.

"Come on, Clancy. To the boat," George said as he ran ahead of me. I had already heard that George didn't like being kept waiting, so even though I didn't have the right clothes on, I raced after him.

Without pausing we jumped into the boat with the other whalers and headed out into the bay.

I looked down into the water and could see Old Tom swimming by the boat, showing us the way.

A few minutes later, there was no Tom, so George started beating the water with his oar and there was Tom, circling back to the boat, leading us to the hunt again.

Using a telescope we could see that something was happening. As we drew closer, I could see a whale being attacked by a pack of about six other killers.

"What're they doing?" I asked George.

"Well, it's teamwork - the killers over there are throwing themselves on top of the whale's blow-hole to stop it breathing. And those others are stopping it diving or fleeing out to sea," George told me, pointing towards the hunt. And just at that moment, the most extraordinary thing happened. The killers started racing between our boat and the whale just like a pack of excited dogs.

Then the harpoon was ready and the man in the bow of the boat aimed it at the whale. He let it go and the harpoon hit the spot. Being badly wounded, the whale soon died. Within a moment or two, its body was dragged swiftly by the killers down into the depths of the sea. The men started turning the boat around to go home.

"What's happened?" I asked. "Have we lost the whale?"

"Oh no," Jack replied. "We'll return tomorrow to bring in the body. It won't float up to the surface for around 24 hours."24

"In the meantime, Old Tom, and the others are having a good feed on its lips and tongue," added Red, laughing.

Although Old Tom and the other killers were fierce hunters, they, never harmed or attacked people.In fact, they protected them.There was one day when we were out in the bay during a hunt and James was washed off the boat.

"Man overboard! Turn the boat around!" urged George, shouting loudly.

The sea was rough that day and it was difficult to handle the boat.The waves were carrying James further and further away from us. From James's face, I could see he was terrified of being abandoned by us. Then suddenly I saw a shark.

"Look, there's a shark out there," I screamed.

"Don't worry, Old Tom won't let it near," Red replied.

It took over half an hour to get the boat back to James, and when we approached him, I saw James being firmly held up in the water by Old Tom.I couldn't believe my eyes.

There were shouts of "Well done, Old Tom" and 'Thank God" as we pulled James back into the boat. And then Old Tom was off and back to the hunt where the other killers were still attacking the whale.

6.Unit3 A NEW DIMENSION OF LIFE

19th January119

I'm sitting in the warm night air with a cold drink in my hand and reflecting on the day a day of pure magic! I went snorkelling on the reef offshore this morning and it was the most fantastic thing I have ever done. Seeing such extraordinary beauty, I think every cell in my body woke up. It was like discovering a whole new dimension of life.

The first thing I became aware of was all the vivid colours surrounding me - purples, reds, oranges, yellows, blues and greens. The corals were fantastic - they were shaped like fans, plates, brains, lace, mushrooms, the branches of trees and the horns of deer. And all kinds of small, neat and elegant fish were swimming in and around the corals.

The fish didn't seem to mind me swimming among them. I especially loved the little orange and white fish that hid in the waving long thin seaweed. And I also loved the small fish that clean the bodies of larger fish - I even saw them get inside their mouths and clean their teeth! It seemed there was a surprise waiting for me around every corner as I explored small caves, shelves and narrow passages with my underwater flashlight: the yellow and green parrotfish was hanging upside down, and sucking tiny plants off the coral with its hard bird-like mouth; a yellow-spotted red sea-slug was sliding by a blue sea-star; a large wise-looking turtle was passing so close to me that I could have touched it.

There were other creatures that I didn't want to get too close to - an eel with its strong sharp teeth, with only its head showing from a hole, watching for a tasty fish (or my tasty toe!);and the giant clam halt buried in some coral waiting for something to swim in between its thick green lips.Then there were two grey reef sharks, each about one and a half metres long, which suddenly appeared from behind some coral.1.5I told myself they weren't dangerous but that didn't stop me from feeling scared to death for a moment!

The water was quite shallow but where the reef ended, there was a steep drop to the sandy ocean floor.It marked a boundary and I thought I was very brave when I swam over the edge of the reef and hung there looking down into the depths of the ocean.My heart was beating wildly - I felt very exposed in such deep clear water.

What a wonderful, limitless world it was down there!And what a tiny spot I was in this enormous world!

7.Unit4 A LETTER HOME

Dear Rosemary,

Thanks for your letter, which took a fortnight to arrive. It was wonderful to hear from you. I know you're dying to hear all about my life here, so I've included some photos which will help you

picture the places I talk about.

You asked about my high school. Well, it's a bush school the classrooms are made of bamboo and the roofs of grass. It takes me only a few minutes to walk to school down a muddy track. When I reach the school grounds there are lots of "good mornings" for me from the boys. Many of them have walked a long way, sometimes up to two hours, to get to school.

There's no electricity or water and even no textbooks either! I'm still trying to adapt to these conditions. However, one thing is for sure, I've become more imaginative in my teaching. Science is my most challenging subject as my students have no concept of doing experiments. In fact there is no equipment, and if I need water I have to carry it from my house in a bucket!The other day I was showing the boys the weekly chemistry experiment when, before I knew it, the mixture was bubbling over everywhere!The boys who had never come across anything like this before started jumping out of the windows.Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry is to these students, most of whom will be going back to their villages after Year 8 anyway. To be honest, I doubt whether I'm making any difference to these boys' lives at all.

You asked whether I'm getting to know any local people. Well, that's actually quite difficult as I don't speak much of the local English dialect yet. But last weekend another teacher, Jenny, and 1 did visit a village which is the home of one of the boys, Tombe. It was my first visit to a remote village. We walked for two and a half hours to get there - first up a mountain to a ridge from where we had fantastic views and then down a steep path to the valley below. When we arrived at the village, Tombe's mother, Kiak, who had been pulling weeds in her garden, started crying "ieee ieee".We shook hands with all the villagers. Everyone seemed to be a relative of Tombe's.

Tombe's father, Mukap, led us to his house, a low bamboo hut with grass sticking out of the roof - this shows it is a man's house. The huts were round, not rectangular like the school buildings.There were no windows and the doorway was just big enough to get through. The hut was dark inside so it took time for our eyes to adjust. Fresh grass had been laid on the floor and there was a newly made platform for Jenny and me to sleep on. Usually Kiak would sleep in her own hut, but that night she was going to share the platform with us. Mukap and Tombe were to sleep on small beds in another part of the hut. There was a fireplace in the centre of the hut near the doorway. The only possessions I could see were one broom, a few tin plates and cups and a

couple of jars.

Outside Mukap was building a fire. Once the fire was going, he laid stones on it. When hot, he placed them in an empty oil drum with kau kau (sweet potato), corn and greens. He then covered the vegetables with banana leaves and left them to steam. I sniffed the food; it smelled delicious. We ate inside the hut sitting round the fire. I loved listening to the family softly talking to each other in their language, even though I could not participate the conversation. Luckily, Tombe could be our interpreter.

Later, I noticed a tin can standing upside down on the grill over the fire.After a short time Tombe threw it out of the doorway.I was puzzled.Tombe told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food.They believe that any leftovers attract evil spirits in the night, so the food is dried up in the can and the can is then thrown out of the hut.Otherwise they don't waste anything.

We left the village the next morning after many goodbyes and firm handshakes.My muscles were aching and my knees shaking as we climbed down the mountain towards home.That evening I fell happily into bed.It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tombe's family.

It's getting late and I have to prepare tomorrow's lessons and do some paperwork. Please write soon.

Love

Jo

9.Unit 5 Keep it up, Xie Lei

Chinese student fitting in well

Six months ago Xie Lei said goodbye to her family and friends in China and boarded a plane for London.It was the first time she had ever left her motherland."After getting my visa I was very excited because I had dreamed of this day for so long. But I was also very nervous as I didn't know what to expect," Xie Lei told me when I saw her waiting in a queue at the student cafeteria between lectures..

Xie Lei, who is 21 years old, has come to our university to study for a business qualification.21She is halfway through the preparation year, which most foreign students complete before applying for a degree course.Xie Lei highly recommends it."The preparation course is most beneficial," she said. "Studying here is quite different from studying in China, so you need some preparation first."

"It's not just study that's difficult. You have to get used to a whole new way of life, which can take up all your concentration in the beginning," explained Xie Lei, who had lived all her life in the same city in China.She told me that she had had to learn almost everything again."Sometimes I felt like a child," she said."I had to learn how to use the phone, how to pay bus fare, and how to ask a shopkeeper for things I didn't know the English for.When I got lost and had to ask a passer-by for directions, I didn't always understand.They don't talk like they do on our listening tapes," she said, laughing.

Xie Lei lives with a host family who give her lots of good advice. Although some foreign students live in student accommodation or apartments, some choose to board with English families. Living with host families, in which there may be other college students, gives her the chance to learn more about the new culture. "When I hear an idiom that I don't understand, I can ask my host family for help," explains Xie Lei. "Also, when I miss my family, it's a great comfort to have a substitute family to be with."

Xie Lei's preparation course is helping her to get used to the academic requirements of a Western university. "I remember the first essay I did for my tutor," she told me. "I found an article on the Internet that seemed to have exactly the information I needed. So I made a summary of the article, revised my draft and handed the essay in. I thought I would get a really good mark

but I got an E. E I was numb with shock! So I went to my tutor to ask the reason for his revision. First of all, he told me, I couldn't write what other people had said without acknowledging them.Besides, as far as he was concerned, what other people thought was not the most important thing. He wanted to know what I thought, which confused me because I thought that the author of the article knew far more than I did. My tutor explained that I should read lots of different texts that contain different opinions and analyse what I read. Then, in my essay, I should give my own opinion and explain it by referring to other authors. Finally he even encouraged me to contradict the authors I'd read! At first I lacked confidence, but now I'm beginning to get the idea and my marks have improved. More importantly, I am now a more autonomous learner."

Xie Lei told me that she feels much more at home in England now, and what had seemed very strange before now appears quite normal."I've just got one more thing to achieve. I have been so occupied with work that I haven't had time for social activities.I think it's important to have a balance between study and a social life, so I'm going to join a few clubs.Hopefully I'll make some new friends."

We will follow Xie Lei's progress in later editions of this newspaper but for now, we wish Xie Lei all the best in her new enterprise.She deserves to succeed.

10.Unit 5 PERU

Peru is a country on the Pacific coast of South America. It has three main geographical areas: a narrow coastal belt; the Andes Mountains running parallel to the coast; and high, flat plains in the southeast. In the high plains area is Lake Titicaca, the highest lake in the world, on which boats can travel. Peru has abundant plants from desert grasses to vast areas of jungle.

Once the centre of the powerful and extremely wealthy Inca Empire, much of South America was governed by Spain from the sixteenth century onwards. 16 Peru finally gained its independence from Spain in 1821. 1821 The capital of Peru is Lima, which is in the north on the coast. The ancient Inca capital, Cuzco, is found high in the Andes. It is a popular tourist destination as it is close to the famous Inca ruins of the city of Machu Picchu. Cuzco is a lively city with many hotels and inns, where both Indian and Spanish culture and art can be seen.

1. Why is Cuzco popular with tourists?

2. What is special about Lake Titicaca?

3. What do you think the two official languages of Peru are?

人教版新课标高中英语选修7课文原文 Unit 1 Living well-Reading MARTY’S STORY Hi, my name is Marry Fielding and I guess you could say that I am "one in a million". In other words, there are not many people like me. You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can't run or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture.

成功学习英语 早在18世纪人们就预言英语有一天会成为全球性语言,而这一预言在近几十年中已经得到了证实。国际公司的增长和通讯方面的巨大进步带来了学习英语的新潮流。当今世界,要想取得令人瞩目的成就,就要会讲至少两种语言,特别是英语。 然而,没有英语语言环境,学习英语是很难的。一些受人推崇的关于获取语言的理论认为,要达到一种外语水平的流利程度和准确性,你需要置身于这种语言环境之中。但遗憾的是,我们很少有人有机会生活在讲英语的国家,所以大部分人还是得靠学校的语言课程来学习外语。 我国最新颁布的英语教学大纲鼓励老师在教室里创设一种丰富多彩的外语环境。这就意味着,他们要确保通过多种方式给学生足够的英语输入量。足够量的语言输入可以以高质量的阅读和听力材料的形式呈现。不管是说还是写,高质量的输入信息才能保证学生高质量的语言输出。 然而,要取得成功就意味着课后仍需要额外付出。专家认为每天仅仅15分钟的课后学习可以促进外语学习的速度。下面是专家对英语学习的建议: ·制定切实可行的学习目标。例如:为扩大词汇量,每天学10个生词——一周五天——周末复习所学生词。一周学50哥词就意味着一个月可掌握200个词。 ·一周先学一首英语歌曲中的单词,再听几遍这首英语歌曲。 ·先观看母语新闻,然后阅读一份英文报纸或访问一家英文新闻网站。读前能了解主要新闻内容会确保用英语阅读时更透彻地理解所读新闻。 ·观看你最喜爱的一张光盘,但要把你熟悉的部分语言调换成英语。 ·和朋友一道学习,互相测试并分享学习策略——这可以使学习更快乐。 ·赞赏自己。如果你达到了目标,就款待自己。将你的目标告知一个朋友,以使他也能够激励你。 这些建议都很容易做到,也值得付出额外的努力。然而,一天多学那15分钟,的确需要很大的付出。为保持不断努力的势头,你需要时常想想为什么要学英语。理由很简单,在当今世界,英语持有通向更光明的前途和把握未来机遇的钥匙。 肢体语言言为心声 如果你看见一位父亲高兴地笑着并轻轻拍打他儿子的后背,你认为会发生什么?你也许会认为这位父亲正祝贺他的儿子某事做得很好,也许是通过了测试或比赛获胜。因为你明白那位父亲的肢体语言所传达的信息,所以你会知道发生了什么事情。在全球,轻拍后背并附带一个微笑通常意为“干得好”。 每一天全世界不同国籍的人都使用着肢体语言。这是一种没有词语,由手势、面部表情和身体动作组成的语言,它极大地丰富了——有时甚至取 代了——口头语言。同其他任何语言一样,肢体语言被用来交流喜怒等情感和态度,但是与口头语言不同的是,他不总是明确清晰的,所以它又不同于口语。高兴地跳起来的人很容易看到,然而把眉毛往上耸来传达怀疑的态度却更易为人们所忽略。 人们经常有意识地使用肢体语言。不知道一个问题答案的人会先耸起双肩然后让它们落下,

You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can’t r un or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors don’t know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live one day at a time. Until I was ten years old I was the same as everyone else. I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope. Even after all that, no one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds. One problem is that I don’t look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs.

Unit 5 中国学生适应能力强 六个月之前,谢蕾告别了她在中国的家人和朋友,登上了前往伦敦的飞机。这是她第一次离开自己的祖国。课间休息时我在学生餐厅碰见谢蕾,她告诉我的说,“我很激动,因为很久以前就梦想着能有这么一天,但是我又非常紧张,因为我不知道我所期望的是什么。” 谢蕾今年21岁,来我们大学上学,希望获得工商管理证书。大多数外籍学生在进入学位课程学习之前都要学一年预科,而谢蕾已经读完半年了。她非常看重预科课程。她说,“预科课程非常有益。在这儿学习跟在中国学习是相当不同的。你必须事先做好准备,或者在这里,或在中国。” “困难不仅仅是在学习方面,你还必须习惯一种全新的生活方式,在一开始的时候这就会占去你的全部注意力。”她说,“有时候我觉得自己像个小孩似的,我得学习如何使用电话,乘公交车时该怎样付款,在商店买东西时如果不知道商品的英文名字时,又怎样问店主。当我迷路不得不向路人问路时,经常听不懂他们说的话。他们说的话不像我们在听力磁带上听到的那样。”谢蕾说着笑了。 谢蕾同房东一家人住在一起,他们给了她许多建议。虽然有些外国学生同其他同学一起住在学生宿舍或公寓房里,但有些学生选择寄宿在英国人的家中。有的房东家也有上大学的孩子,跟这样的人住在一起会给外国学生提供机会,更好地了解这个国家的日常生活和风俗习惯。“当我听到不理解的话语,或看到似乎有人干了很奇怪的事情时,我就可以向房东家里的人请教。”谢蕾解释说。“还有,当我想家的时候,房东家就是我家的替身,给了我很大的安慰。” 谢蕾的预科课程还帮助她熟悉了西方大学里在学术方面的要求。她对我说,“还记得我交给老师第一篇论文。我在网上找到一篇文章,看来和我所需要的信息恰好一样。于是我就那篇论文写了一篇类似小结性的文章,交给了老师。我原以为我会得到高分,结果只得了一个E。我非常吃惊,于是去找导师说理。”他告诉我说,首先,我不能把别人的话写下来不表示感谢。此外。他认为,别人的想法并不是重要的。他想要知道的是我所想的是什么。这倒把我弄糊涂了,因为该文作者所知道的比我多得多。导师给我解释说,我得阅读大量的、有关不同观点的文章,并进行分析。然后,在我的论文中,我得表明我自己的观点,并且引用别的作者的观点来说明为什么我相信我的观点。起初,我缺乏信心这样做,而现在我开始懂了,我的分数也有所提高了。 谢蕾告诉我说,现在她在英国感到自在多了。开始时认为似乎很怪的事,如今觉得似乎很正常了。“我还有一件事要做,做了这件事后我才得安心。一直忙于适应环境,以至于我没有时间去搞社会活动。我认为在学习和社会生活之间的平衡也是很重要的。我打算参加大学了的几个俱乐部,我希望我会遇到一些有共同爱好的人。” 关于谢蕾的进步,我们将在今后几星期的报纸中做跟踪报道。同时我们衷心祝愿她事业有成。她是应该取得成功的。 Using language 秘鲁

第一单元好好生活 马蒂的故事 你好。我叫马蒂.菲尔丁。我想你可能会说我是“百万人中才有一个”的那种人。换句话说,世界上像我这样的人并不多见。你瞧,我的肌肉有毛病,使我的身体非常虚弱,所以我不能像别人那样快跑或快步爬楼梯。再说,有时候我还会笨手笨脚、不小心摔掉东西,或磕碰到家具上。不幸的是,大夫们不知道如何治好我的病,但是我很开朗乐观,学会了适应身体的残疾。我的座右铭是:活一天算一天。 十岁以前,我跟其他人是一样的。我常常爬树、游泳、踢足球。说实在的,我过去常常梦想我会成为职业球员,代表我们的国家参加世界杯足球赛。后来,我的身体开始变得越来越虚弱,以至于只能坐在体育场的长凳上欣赏足球了。最后我到医院去做了检查,几乎住了三个月的医院。我想我至少做过十亿次检查了,包括有一次检查,他们从我的腿部切下一小块儿肌肉,放在显微镜下观察。即使做过了所有这些检查,也没有人能够确诊这个病。因此,很难知道将来会是个什么样子。 问题是我看上去跟平常人一样。因此,当我跑了很短的一段路之后,我就会喘不过气来,或者爬楼梯才爬到一半就得停下来休息。因此,上小学时有的孩子见了我这种情况就会笑话我。有时候我的身体太虚弱,上不了学,因此落了许多功课。每次缺课之后,我就觉得自己很笨,因为我比别人落后了。 我在中学时期的生活(比在小学时)要轻松多了,因为我的同学开始接受了我的状况。还有些同学看不到我的内心世界,但是我并不生气,只是不去理会他们罢了。总而言之,我生活得挺好。我很高兴我能做许多事情,比如写作和电脑编程。我有雄心壮志,长大后我要在开发电脑软件的公司里工作。去年我发明了一个电脑足球游戏,有一家大公司已经决定从我这儿买走。我的生活很充实,没有时间闲坐着顾影自怜。除了同我的朋友一起去看电影和足球比赛,我还花很多时间和我的宠物在一起。我有两只兔子、一只鹦鹉、一缸金鱼和一只乌龟。我得花大量时间来照顾这些宠物,但我觉得很值。此外,我还有好多功课,特别是在病了一段时间之后。 在许多方面,我身体的残疾倒使我心理上变得更加坚强、更加独立。我必须努力工作才能过上正常的生活,但这是值得的。假如我有机会跟健康孩子讲一句话,那么,这句话就是:身体残疾并不意味着生活不美满。因此,不要感到残疾人可怜,或者取笑他们,也别不理睬他们。要接受他们,给他们以鼓励,让他们能像你一样过得丰富多彩、充实美满。 谢谢你们读我的故事。.马蒂 致建筑师的一封信桑达斯女士 爱丽斯。梅杰 总建筑师剑桥街64号 影院设计公司班克斯敦 希尔街44号 班克斯敦 20(0年9月2,4日 亲爱的桑达斯女士: 今天我从报上了解到,您将成为班克斯敦新影院的建筑设计师。我希望您不介意我写信询问您是否已考虑到残疾顾客的需要。尤其是以下几点不知您是否考虑到了:
