话没有一个非常快乐的结局。这位电视明星失去了他的女朋友和他的节目。,Unit11,Couldyoupleasetellmewheretherestroomsare?,Eat,havefunandlearninWatertown!,Watertownisagreatplaceforthefamilytotakeavacation.TeenagerswillwanttovisittheworldslargestwaterslidesandeatatUncleBobs.AdifferentrockbandplaysatUncleBobseverynight.KidswillenjoytheClownCityCaf.Theyhaveorganizedgamesandthestaffdressupasclowns.TheresalsoalotforparentsinWatertown.Iftheylovegoodfood,theycanfinditattheFarmersMarketwherethefoodisbothdeliciousandcheap.Whilethechildrenhavefun,parentscantakethedancelessonsonthebeach.AndeveryonecanlearnsomethinginWatertown.Therearethreemuseums!TeenagerslovetheSportsMuseumandkidsenjoytheScienceMuseum.ParentswillspendmanyhappyhourswalkingthroughtheHistoryMuseum.,沃特敦是一个家庭度假的好去处.青少年们可以在这里参观世界上最大的水滑梯.在鲍勃叔叔之家用餐.一个另类摇滚乐队每晚在鲍勃叔叔之家演出.孩子们还会喜欢小丑城餐厅.在那里他们会组织各种游戏.工作人员们装扮成小丑.在沃特顿还有很多适合家长的活动.如果他们喜欢好吃的食物.他们可以在农贸市场找到既美味又便宜的食品.孩子们玩的开心的同时.家长们可以在海滩上学习跳舞.每个人都可以在沃尔顿学到东西.那里有3个博物馆!青少年们喜欢体育博物馆.孩子们喜欢科学馆.家长们会在历史博物馆中漫步.度过许多欢乐的时光,Unit12,Youresupposedtoshakehands,DearLaura,Thanksforyourmessage.yes,imhavingagreattimeonmyexchangeprograminfrance.itsevenbetterthanithoughtitwouldbe.iwasabitnervousbeforiarrivedhere,buttherewasnoreasontobe.myhostfamilyisreallynice.theygooutoftheirwaytomakemefeelathome.andyouwouldntbelievehowquicklymyfrenchhasimproved!imverycomfortablespeakingfrenchnow.althoughistillmakelostofmistakes,itdoesntbothermelikeitusedto.mybiggestchallengeislearninghowtobehaveatthedinnertable.asyoucanimagine,thingsarereallydifferentfromthewaytheyareathome.forexampie,yourenotsupposedtoputyourbreadonyourplate.youresupposedtoputitonthetable!youshouldalwayskeepyourhands,butnotyourelbows,onthetable.ihavetosay,ifinditdifficulttoremembereverthing,butimgraduallygettingusedtothingsanddontfindthemsostrangeanymore.illwritesoonandtellyoumoreaboutlifeinfrance.hopeyourehavingagoodschoolyear.,谢谢你的来信。是的,我非常享受这次的法国交换项目,而且过的很好,甚至比我想象中的还要好。我在到达之前还有点紧张,但是事实证明这是毫无必要的。我所在的寄宿家庭非常好,他们想尽办法让我体验到家的感觉。你可能不相信,但我的法语提高得非常快。我现在能够非常自如的说法语。尽管还是会犯很多错误,但这并不像过去那般困扰我了。我现在面临的最大挑战就是如何适应国外的餐桌文化。你可以想象得到,这边的情况与家里的有很大的区别。例如,不应该把面包放在盘子里,应该放在桌面上。你的手应该由始至终放在桌上,但不要把胳膊肘放上去。不得不承认,要记住这些条条框框很难,但是我会慢慢习惯的,也会慢慢适应的。我会尽快给你写信,告诉你我在这边的生活情况。希望你能度过一个很好的学年。,Unit13,Rainydaysmakemesad,Advertising:prosandcons,Inthemodernworld,advertisingiseverywhere.Somepeoplethinkthatadsaregreat.Othershateads,sayingthattheymakeourcitiesandcountrysidelookugly.Manyadsareaimedspecificallyatteenagers,andsomeyoungpeopleseemorethan100advertisementsaday.Itstruethatsomeadscanbeveryuseful.Forinstance,theycanhelpyoutocomparetwodifferentproductssothatyoucanbuytheoneyoureallyneed.Theycanalsohelpyousavemoney.Whenpricesarelisted,youcangotothestorewiththelowestprice.Adsalsotellyouwhenstoresarehavingsales.However,someadvertisingcanbeconfusingormisleading.Sometimesthewordssoundgoodbutdontreallytellyouanythingaboutthequalityoftheproduct.Atothertimes,thepictureinanadlooksalotbetterthantherealthing.Soyouhavetobecareful.Attimesanadcanleadyoutobuysomethingyoudontneedatall.,在现代社会,广告无处不在。一些人认为广告是伟大的。有些人讨厌广告,说他们使我们的城市和乡村看起来很丑。很多广告的目的是为了明确在青少年和一些年轻人看到每天超过100个广告。这是真的,有些广告可能是非常有益的。例如,他们能够帮你比较两种不同的产品,以至于你能买到你真正需要的那个。他们还可以帮你省钱。当价格被列举出来,你可以去商店和最低的价格。广告也告诉你什么时候商店都在销售。然而,一些广告会混淆或误导你。有时话音好,但又不告诉你任何关于产品的质量。在其他时候,图画在一个广告看起来比真实的东西。所以你必须小心。有时,一个广告能导致你去买你根本不需要的东西。,Unit14,Haveyoupackedyet?,DontmisstheNewOceanWaves!,Doyoulikepopmusic?Mostpeopledo.OneofthebestbandsonthemusicsceneistheNewOceanWaves.Inthelasttwelvemonths,theyrehadthreemajorconcertsandmadeahitCD.TheyregoingtoappearonCCTVnextmonth.Andthentheyregoingtogoonaworldtourinwhichtheywillperformintendifferentcitie.Besurenottomissthemiftheycometoacitynearyouifyoucangettickrts,thatis.“Foryears,weplayedotherpeoplessongs,”saysleadsingerZhuWen.“Butnowweplaymostlyourownsongs.Werehadafewsongsinthetopten,butwereallyhopehaveanumberonehitsomeday.”GoodlucktotheNewOceanWavesTheyreofftoagreatstart.Andtheyrereallynicepeople.Didyouknowthattheygavehalfofthemoneytheymadetoacharityforhomelesschildren?,你喜欢流行音乐吗?大多数人喜欢。在音乐舞台上最好的乐队之一是新海浪乐队。在过去的12个月中,他们举行了3个音乐会,并且他们的CD轰动一时。他们打算在下个月去中央电视台演出。并且他们将有个世界之旅在他们演出的不同城市。如果他们去你附近的城市的话,确信不要错过他们,也就是说,你能得到门票.主场朱文说“几年前,我们演奏其他人的音乐,而现在我们表演的大都是我们自己的。我们有几首歌进入了十强了,但是我们真的希望有一天能有一个第一名”祝你们好运,新海浪。他们离开有了一个很好的开始。他们真的是很好的人。你知道他们给他们赚的一半的钱,为了孩子们,都捐给了慈善吗?,Unit15,Weretryingtosavethemanatees!,Thehouseoftrash,YouhaveprobablyneverheardofAmyWinterbourne,butsheisamostunusualwoman.Shelivesinahousethatshebuiltherselfoutoftrash.Well,thestuffusedtobecalledtrash,butnowitscalled“recycled”material.Thewindowsanddoorscamefromoldbuildingsaroundthetownthatwerebeingpulleddown.Thewallsaremadefromoldglassbottlesthataregluedtogether.Theroofismadefromdiscardedtiles.Andthefenceisbuiltoutofusedsodacans.AmyrecentlywonanawardfromtheHelpSaveOurPlanetSociety.ThepresidentJacksonSmithsaid,“Amyisaninspirationtousall.”AndwhatdoesAmydoinhersparetime?ShemakesmodeltoysoutofoldTVs,andsellsthemtoraisemoneyfortheChildrensHospital.,用废材造成的房子你可能从未听说过艾米温特伯恩,但它的确是一个了不起的女人。她住在一个自己用费材造成的房子里。喔,这些东西过去常常被叫做垃圾,但现在被叫做“再循环”材料。窗户和门都是从镇周边一些古老建筑物上拆下来的。墙是用一些粘在一起的旧玻璃瓶做成的。房顶是用被废弃的瓦片建成的。而栅栏使用过的苏达罐建成的。艾米最近获
