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. 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 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.

马丁的故事

嗨,我的名字是马丁。费尔丁和我猜你会说我是“万中挑一。换句话说,没有很多象我这样的人。你看,我有一个肌肉疾病,这使我很弱,所以我不会跑或爬楼梯,就像其他的人。此外,有时我很笨手笨脚下降,事物或撞到家具。不幸的是,医生们不知道如何让自己变得更美好,但我非

常的友好,并且已经学会适应我的障碍。我的座右铭是:过好生活中的每一天。

直到我十岁的时候我相同于其他人一样。我过去爬树,游泳和踢足球。事实上,我常常渴望发挥专业足球,可能代表我的国家在世界杯上的表现。然后我开始变得虚弱,直到我能只喜欢足球长凳上在体育馆里。最后我走进医院医疗试验。我在那儿呆了将近三个月了。我想我至少有10亿测试,包括在其中,他们剪断出块肌肉从我的腿而且看一看在显微镜下观察。即使听完了所有,没人能给我的病一个名字,很难知道以后会发生什么吧。”

所面临的一个问题是我看起来不任何与别人不同。所以有时候有些孩子会笑我的小学,我走出跑步后呼吸短角球,不得不停下来休息爬到楼梯的一半。有时我太弱,所以我去学校教育的痛苦。每次我回来,我感到在离开笨,是因为我是在别人后面了。

我的生活是很容易在高中,因为同学们已经接受了我。那些无法看到真正的人,在我的身体不使我很烦,我对它们不予理会。总之我有一个好的生活。我很高兴地发现许多事情我能做的事,比如写作和计算机编程。我的愿望是为一家公司工作开展计算机软件,当我长大。去年我发明了一种计算机的足球比赛和一个大公司决定购买我。我有一个非常忙碌的生活没有时间坐着为自己难过。以及在看电影和橄榄球场比赛,我的朋友,我花很多时间和我的宠物。我有两只兔子,一只鹦鹉,一辆坦克满了鱼和一只乌龟。照看我的宠物正确需要很多的时间,而且我发现它值得的。我也要做很多工作,特别是我已经离开一会儿。

在很多方面,我的残疾使我更强的心理,会变得更加独立。我必须努力工作来过一个正常的生活了,但是它是值得的。如果我有机会说一件事对健康的孩子,那就是:有残疾并不意味着你目前的生活很不满意。所以不要惋惜身心障碍者或取笑他们,不要忽略这些标准。只接受他们,给他们鼓励丰富的生活让你的生活。

谢谢你读我的故事。

A LETTER TO AN ARCHITECT

Look at the pictures. Discuss the problems that people with walking difficulties might have in a cinema.

Ms L Sanders Alice Major

Chief architect 64 Cambridge Street Cinema Designs Bankstown

44 Hill Street

Bankstown

24 September, 200__

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

选修7 Unit 2 Robots - Reading

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.

拉里·贝尔蒙特努力,这家公司制造的机器人。最近就已经开始了实验一种家居机器人。这将是检验被拉里的妻子,克莱儿。

克莱儿不想要那个机器人在她的房子,尤其是当她的丈夫缺席三周,但是拉里·说服她或让她受到损坏。它将是次要的。然而,当她第一次看到这个机器人,她感到惊恐。他的名字是托尼和他的情绪看起来更像人类比机器。他身材高大英俊的光滑的头发和一种低沉的声音虽然他的面部表情永不改变。

在第二天早晨托尼,穿着围裙,把早饭,然后问她是否需要帮助调料。她感到很尴尬,立刻告诉他去。这是干扰或可怕的,因为他看上去那么人体。

有一天,克莱儿提到她不认为她是很聪明的。托尼说,她必须感到不悦说那种话。克莱儿认为太荒谬了用机器人得到同情。但她开始信任他。她告诉他她是如何超重,这使她感觉很不高兴。她觉得她的家也不优雅的足够的某球员,像赖瑞想提高他的社会地位。她根本不喜欢格拉Claffern,其中一个富裕,最强大的女人身边。

当厚待托尼答应帮助克莱儿使自己更聪明,她的家更优美。所以Claise借来一叠图书馆借书让他看,或者更确切地说,扫描。她看着他的手指奇迹,因为他们把每一页,突然了他的手。她惊讶的是他的手指甲和疲软的亲切和他的皮肤。太荒谬,她想。他只是一个机器。

托尼给克莱儿个新发型,改变了妆她戴着。当他不被允许陪她到商店去,他开列了一列项目。克莱儿进了城,买了窗帘、座垫、地毯到床上用品。然后她走进一家珠宝商店买了一条项链。当职员在柜台边是粗鲁无礼的她,她就响了托尼了起来对工作人员与他说话。店员立刻改变了他的态度。克莱儿感谢托尼,告诉他说,他是一个“亲爱的”。她转过身来,Claffern格拉站在那里。太可怕了,将会发现了他,克莱儿思想。愉快,让他的脸上神情诧异,克莱儿知道格拉以为她有外遇。毕竟,她知道克莱儿的丈夫的名字是赖瑞,而不是托尼。

当克莱儿一回家,她哭了怒火在扶手椅里。格拉是一切克莱儿想要做的。“你可以像她一样”,托尼告诉她,建议她邀请格雷迪斯家和她的朋友们一起前一天晚上他离开和拉里·是归还。到那个时候,托尼预期的房屋被完全改变。

托尼曾稳步地改进。克莱儿试图帮助一次,但太笨了。她从梯子上掉下来摔,尽管托尼在隔壁房间,他还是设法逮住了她。他握着她的坚信他的手臂和她感到温暖的他的身体。她尖叫道,把他推开,跑去她的房间,其余时间。

聚会的夜晚来了。那个钟敲了八。客人会快到了,克莱儿告诉托尼去到另一个房间里。那一刻,托尼胳臂交叉双臂抱着她,弯曲他的脸接近她的。她大声呼喊”托尼。”然后听见他宣布,他不想离开她的第二天,他感到很不只是希望取悦她。然后前门铃就响了。托尼释放了她,渐渐消失了。就在那时,克莱儿意识到托尼开了窗帘的橱窗。她的客人已经看见了这一切情景!

妇女们留下深刻的印象,克莱儿,房子和丰富的菜。就在他们走了,克莱儿听到格拉跟另一个女人,她从未见过这么英俊,托尼。多可爱的胜利让人嫉妒的女人!她很可能不一样漂亮,但是没

然后她记得——托尼只是一个机器。她喊道“让我单独”,跑去她的床上。她整晚哭着。第二天早晨,一辆车开并把托尼离开。

公司非常高兴托尼的报告在他的3周,克莱儿。托尼保护着人类受到伤害。他妨碍了克莱儿危害自己通过她自己的失败感。他就已经开了窗帘那天晚上,使女性都见他,并且克莱儿,知道没有风险克莱儿的婚事。但是,尽管托尼很聪明,他还得被建造-你不能有妇女会爱上机器。

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. But 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. 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.

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. 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. In 1942 he joined the staff of the Philadelphia Navy Yard as a junior chemist and worked there for three years. In 1948 he got his PhD in chemistry. 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.

It was when Asimov was eleven years old that his talent for writing became obvious. 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. In 1950 he published his first novel and in 1953 his first science book.

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. 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. 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. Their marriage lasted 31 years. Soon after his divorce in 1973, Asimov married again but he had no children with his second wife.

OLD TOM THE KILLER WHALE

I was 16 when I began work in June 1902 at the whaling station. 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." "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.

Unit 3 Under the sea

我16岁当我开始工作在1902年6月捕鲸站。我听说过杀手,每年都帮助捕鲸者抓住巨大的鲸鱼。我想,在那个时候,这只是一个故事,而是那我亲眼目睹了许多次。

下午我到达车站时,我整理我准备膳宿时,我听到一声巨响从海湾传来。我们跑到海边看到一个巨大的动物对我们置身出了水面,然后崩溃了。这是黑白fish-shaped。

不加思索我们跳进游艇和其他的捕鲸出海驶向入海湾。我低头朝水中看去,看到老汤姆正在船边游着,为我们引路。几分钟后,没有汤姆,乔治开始打水,和他的桨汤姆回到船上,环绕,引导我们去打猎了。

使用望远镜我们可以看出确实是发生了。当我们走近的时候,我能看鲸鱼遭到一群大约6其他杀手。凶手在那里正把自己最重要的鲸鱼的憋气停止呼吸。和那些人停止它跳水、逃离出海。乔治告诉我指着捕猎。就在那一刻,的最不可思议的事情发生了。凶手开始比赛我们的船和鲸鱼之间就像一群兴奋的狗。虽然老了汤姆和其他杀手非常激烈的猎人,他们从未错待过或攻击的人。事实上,他们保护他们。有一天,当我们在海湾在打猎和詹姆斯洗净了船。

海是粗糙的那一天,这使得我们很难处理的船。海浪携带着詹姆斯深入,离我们。从詹姆斯·的脸上,我可以看出来他在害怕被抛弃我们发挥的空间。我忽然看到鲨鱼。用了半个多小时的时间才把船划回到詹姆斯,而当我们走近他,我看到詹姆斯被牢牢地抓住了在水老汤姆。

我不敢相信我的眼睛。有“干得不错,有欢呼拯救的声音老汤姆","谢谢上帝”在我们把詹姆斯回到船上。然后老汤姆就跳下去,回到亨特,而其他杀手仍攻击鲸鱼。

A NEW DIMENSION OF LIFE

19th January

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. I 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!

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! l'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

A Letter home

亲爱的迷迭香,

谢谢你的来信,一种都用了两周才能到达。它是奇妙的消息。我知道你很渴望听到关于这儿的生活,所以我拍了一些照片这能帮助你照片的地方,我谈。

你问起我的高中。嗯,这是布什学校,教室竹和屋顶的草地。我花了只有几分钟步行到学校的期望一条泥泞小路。当我到了在校园中狂奔有很多“早晨好”为我从那些男孩。他们中的许多人走了很长一段路,有时多达两个小时,到学校的人。

没有电的情况也没有水喝,教科书也。我还在努力去适应这些情况。然而,有一件事是肯定的,我就成了在教学中更有想象力。科学是我最具挑战性的主题我的学生没有的概念做实验。但实际上并不存在设备,如果我需要水我必须把它从我家在一个桶!有一天,我显示了孩子们在每周的化学实验的时候,我还不知道怎么回事,在这上面冒泡时在无处不在!男孩子们从来没有遇到过喜欢这个之前开始跳离窗户。我有时想知道有关化学是这些学生,大多数会返回他们的村庄八年级学习吧。老实说,我怀疑我是否做任何差别,这些男孩的生命。

你问我是否了解任何地方的人。这实际上是很困难的,因为我不讲当地的英语方言呢。但是上个周末另一个老师,珍妮,我做了访问一个小村庄家里的一个男孩。这是我第一次去一个偏远的村子里。我们走了几个两个半小时才到那里——首先一座山山脊我们从那里有很多精彩的观点然后从一个陡坡路径俯瞰下面的山谷。当我们到达了这个村子,汤姆的母亲,Kiak,在她的花园杂草是在,开始哭了起来。我们握手所有的村民。每个人都似乎很是相关的汤姆的。

汤姆的父亲使我们自己的家,一个低竹屋草里伸出来的屋顶——这展示哪一个男人的房子。这小屋是圆的,不是长方形喜欢校舍。没有窗户,门口只是大到足够打通。这小屋里面很黑因此我们用了一段时间才能使眼睛适应。有一个壁炉小屋的中心近门口的位置。我能看到的仅有的财产都是一个扫帚几个镀锡的盘子和杯子和一些坛子。外面正在建造一Mukap火。一旦真的发生火灾,他躺石头会。当热,他把他们安置在一个空的油地瓜、鼓是用谷物和蔬菜。它闻起来真香。我们吃了在小屋周围坐着的火。我喜欢听家庭轻轻地彼此交谈,在他们的语言中,虽然我不能参与对话。

后来,我注意到一罐的烤架上站颠倒了,把它们放在旺火上烧。一段时间后汤姆把它扔到了门口。我觉得奇怪。汤姆告诉我,这可被加热到干出剩下的食物。他们相信任何吃剩的东西吸引鬼在夜间乾的食物,可以能然后扔出了小屋。否则他们不要浪费任何东西。

就离开了村子第二天早上,经过了许多的道别和坚定的握手祝贺。我的肌肉疼痛,膝盖震动我们爬下山朝家走。那天晚上,我感到高兴地到床上。这是一种特权已经花了一天,汤姆的家庭。

天晚了,我不得不准备明天的功课,做一些文件。请写了。

KEEP IT UP,XIE LEI

CHINESE STUDENGT FITTING 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. She 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. 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. Hope- fully 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.

Unit 5 Travelling abroad

Chinese student fitting in well

六个月前,谢蕾告别了她在中国的家人和朋友,登上了飞往伦敦的飞机。这是她首次曾经离开她的祖国。在得到签证她感到很兴奋,因为她梦想这一天这么长时间。但她也很紧张,因为她不知道会发生什么事情。谢磊告诉我我见到她的时候排队等候之间在学生餐厅讲座。

谢磊,谁是21岁,已经到了我们的大学攻读工商管理资格证书。她是一半的准备年度的完成,

才多数的外国学生申请学位课程。谢磊高度推荐它。她说该课程是最有益的,不同于在这里学习中国学习的人,所以你仍然需要相应的准备工作第一。

她解释说它不只是研究,是艰难的。你必须习惯一种全新的生活方式,能占去你所有的浓度的开始。这个女孩,他们住她一生都在同一城市在中国。她告诉我,她不得不几乎所有的学习了。她补充说有时她觉得自己象个孩子一样,不得不学习如何使用电话时,如何支付车费,如何向零售商为她所不知道英语的目的。当她迷路了,得找个路人为我指路,她并不总是不懂的语言,因为他们不说话像他们在我们的听磁带。

她住在接待家庭出她的很多好建议。虽然有些外国学生住在学生宿舍或公寓,有些人选择寄宿在英国人的家中。接待家庭一起生活,在这样的展示中,可能还有其他的大学生,给她机会学习更多关于新的文化。她说当她听到一个成语,她不明白,她可以问他的全军家人求助。当她错过了她的家庭来说,这是一个伟大的安慰,有一个我家的替身可以呆在一起。

谢蕾的预科课程帮助她适应学术方面的要求西方的大学。她记得第一次交的论文她为她做了导师。她发现一篇的因特网上似乎已经完全她所需要的信息。所以她总结了她的文章,修订草案并交给篇。她想,买到很好的标志,而是她收到了电子大肠她麻木感到震惊!所以她就去了她的导师问他之所以修改。首先,她的导师告诉谢磊,她不能把别人的话写下来而不表示感谢。此外,他而言,别人认为不是最重要的事。他想知道他的学生思想,把她搞糊涂了,因为她以为这篇文章的作者知道远比她说了。她的导师解释说她应该看很多不同的意见和分析他看到的东西。然后,在她的一篇文章给她自己的意见并解释参照其他作者。最后,他甚至鼓励她与作者她所读的内容。从那以后,她知道她的标志,得到了改善。更重要的是,她成为一个更加独立的学习者。

谢磊说她在英国感到自在多了,现在那些看上去很奇怪,在现在看起来很正常。她一直很忙的工作她还没时间在社会活动。在她看来,这是很重要的,之间有平衡学习与社会生活,她已经是打算加入一些俱乐部。希望她会结交一些新朋友。她应该能成功。

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:

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,

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

Unit 1Living well Reading MARTY’S STORY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 我不能向别人那样快跑或快步爬楼梯。另外,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,医生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,住了将近三个月的医院。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,就喘不过气来, 或者爬楼梯才爬到一半就得停下来休息,我的小学同学就会笑我。有时候我的身体太虚弱, 上不了学,因此落下了许多功课。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,因为我的同学已经接受了我的状况。 还有少数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。去年我开发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,没有时间坐着顾影自怜。除了同我的朋友一起去看电影和 足球比赛外,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,我还有好多功课要做,而 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。 谢谢你读我的故事。 Unit 1Living well Using Language A LETTER TO AN ARCHITECT致建筑师的 一封信 桑达斯女士总建筑师 影院设计公司爱丽斯·梅杰剑桥街 64号班克斯敦 希尔街 44号班克斯敦
