Unit 5 PassageWhen people say “culture”, we think of art and history. But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon. We all know and love the black mouse with two large round earsMickey Mouse. Over 80 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney.He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular.One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early film, Mickey was unckey and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the “ little man” win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.On November 18, 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Todays cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickeys?翻译。当人们谈到文化时，我们首先想到的是艺术与历史。但是美国文化的一个非常著名的标志是卡通片。我们都了解和喜欢那只长着大大的、圆圆的耳朵的黑老鼠米老鼠。80多年前，他首次在卡通片威力号汽船中出现。当这部卡通片于1928年11月18日在纽约发行时，它成了第一部有声音、有音乐的卡通片。米奇身后的那名男子叫沃尔特 迪斯尼。他成功了，而且非常富有。在20世纪30年代，他用米奇拍了87部卡通片。一些人可能问这个卡通动物是怎样如此受欢迎的。其中一个重要的原因是米奇像一个普通人，但他面对危险时总全力以赴。在他早期的影片中，米奇是不幸的，他经常遇到许多问题，比如失去房子和女朋友明妮。然而，他总乐于竭尽全力。人们去影院看这个小男人赢。他们中多数人都想成为像米奇那样的人。在1978年11月18日，米奇成了第一位入选好莱坞星光大道明星的卡通人物。今天的卡通片通常不像小米老鼠那样简单，但是每个人还是指导和喜欢他。谁长着一双比米奇的耳朵一样更有名的耳朵呢？Unit 4 Whats the best movie theater?PassageWhos Got Talent?Everyone is good at something, but some people are truly talented. Its always interesting to watch other people show their talents. Talent shows are getting more and more popular. First, there were shows like American Idol and Americans Got Talent.Now, there are similar shows around the world, such as Chinas Got Talent.All these shows have one thing in common: They try to look for the best singers, the most talented dancers, the most exciting magicians, the funniest actors and so on. All kinds of people join these shows. But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifilly?Thats up to you to decide. When people watch the shows, they usually play a role in deciding the winner. And the winner always gets a very good prize.However, not everybody enjoys watching these shows. Some think that the lives of the performers are made up. For example, some people say they are poor farmers, but in fact they are just actors. However, if you dont take these shows too seriously, they are fun to watch. And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.翻译。谁是达人？每一个人都有擅长的事，但是有些人确实有天赋。观看别人展示他们的才艺总是有趣的。才艺展示越来越受欢迎。刚开始，有像美国偶像和美国达人秀这样的才艺表演。现在，世界各地都有类似的表演，像中国达人秀。所有的这些表演都有一个相同的特点：他们尽量地寻找最优秀的歌手、最有天赋的舞者、最令人兴奋的魔术师、最滑稽的演员等等。各种各样的人都可参加这些表演。但是谁能把钢琴弹得最好或者歌唱得最好听呢？那由你决定。当人们观看表演时，他们通常发挥决定冠军的作用。而且获奖者总是能得到一份非常不错的奖品。然而，并不是每一个人都喜欢看这些节目。有些人认为这些表演者的生活是编造的。例如：一些人说自己是贫穷的农民，但事实上他们却是演员。然而，如果你对这些节目不太认真对待，他们观看起来是很有趣的。这些节目很重要的是他们给了人们一个能让他们的梦想实现的渠道。Unit 6 Im going to study computer science.PassageDo you know what a resolution is? Its a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people.(“Mom, I promise Im going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”) However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and the most common kind is New Years resulutions. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that weare going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps them to remember their reaolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about phscical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. These are about making yourself a better person. Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork. For example, a student may have to find more time to study.Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! There are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolutions is to have no resolutions! How about youwill you make any next year?翻译。 你知道决心是什么吗？它是一种承诺。大多数时候，我们向他人承诺。（“妈妈，我保证我从学校回来时整理我的房间。”）可是，你对自己许下的承诺就叫决心。一年的开头经常是下决心的时候。我们在一年的开头下决心时，我们希望会改善我们的生活。一些人写下来年的计划和决心。其他人把有关他们的愿望和计划告诉他们的家人和朋友。 决心有不同的类型。一些事是有关身体健康的。例如，一些人将保证自己将启动一个锻炼项目或少吃快餐。许多决心与自我提高有关。这些与更好地提升自己有关。一些人可能说他们要培养一种爱好，比如画画或照相，或学习弹吉他。一些决心是关于制定更好的计划的，比如为学校作业制定周计划。例如学生可能找出更多的时间学习。虽然有不同之处，但是多数决心有一个共同之处。人们几乎不能将他们坚持下去！对此有一些好理由。有时是决心太难执行。有时只是人们将它们忘了。鉴于这个原因，一些人说最好的决心是没有下决心！你呢你将为明年做一些承诺吗？
