UNIT1翻译:我是怎样学习英语的 去年,英语课很难。首先,老师讲话的时候我很难听懂。开始的时候,她讲的太快,我听不清每一个单词。之后,我才意识到听不清每一个单词这并不重要。我也很害怕在课堂上发言,因为我害怕同学们会取笑我。因为我还不能造完整的句子,我就开始看英语电视节目,这很有用。我认为大量的做听力练习是成为一名成功学习者的秘诀。另外,我还发现英语语法很难,于是我决定在每一堂课上做些笔记。然后用学到的语法知识点来造句,这很有帮助,让人惊讶。现在我很乐意学习英语,这学期考试还得了一个A。老师对我印象很深刻。Unit 2我最大的问题 我最大的问题是我太忙了。当我小时候时,我曾经有很多时间,但这些天,我起得早,并在学校里呆一整天。然后我径直回家吃晚饭。在我上高中之前,我经常花很多时间和我的朋友玩游戏,但我现在再也没有那时间了。在晚上,我经常看电视或和我的祖母聊天,但现在我必须学习。我喜欢音乐,我的父亲经常带我去音乐会。这些天,我几乎没有时间去音乐会了。我做我的功课和上床睡觉。我真的很怀念过去的日子 Unit 3在我们的学校,我们必须每天穿校服。问题就是我们全班同学都认为那校服太难看了。我们认为学生应该穿的时尚(这里SMART做时尚的解释)一点,所以我们应该穿我们自己的衣服。我们的老师相信如果我们那样做的话,我们会比学习更花多的时间在衣服上。我们不同意。我们应该穿的更舒适一点,这样可以帮助我们的学习,如果我们不能那样,我们应该被允许去设计我们自己的校服,那将是一个好方法去维持师生友好。这对于父母也可能是个好方法去允许青少年晚上在组里学习,我知道我们有时会制造噪音,但是我们学习的时候更多。我们同样认为假期也该更长一些。假期太短了。更长的假期可以给我们时间去做像是参观,上个暑假,我得了个机会去参观当地的医院,但是我不能去,因为我得回学校了。这对我将是个多好的经历,因为我想在我长大后去当名医生Unit 41.如果你选A较多,那么你个人外向,也比较自信。你有很多朋友,并且喜欢身边有他人陪伴。当他们(需要)建议的时候就会来找你。你的朋友常会说你是个容易相处的人。2.如果选B较多,那你可能比较害羞你更喜欢和一两个人讲话,而不是一群人。而且你更愿意呆在家里读一本好书而不是去参加派对。你有一个很小的好友圈子。你的朋友常常会说你是一个很好的倾听者。3.如果选C较多,那么你可能先去是相当的自信。外界环境不会对你产生一丁点的影响。你知道你要什么,也知道怎么得到。由于你太自信了,有时候你可能会惹人烦。Unit 5在钟楼附近的怪事奇怪的事件在钟楼邻里我们neighborhoodused是非常安静的。然而,那些日子,奇怪事在我们的邻里发生,并且大家是怏怏不乐的。周顾,地方学校教师,极端担心。当他由地方报纸采访,他说, “每晚我们听见奇怪的噪声在我们的窗口之外。我的妻子认为它可能是动物,但我的朋友和I thinkit必须是少年获得乐趣。我的父母告诉了警察,但他们不可能发现什么奇怪。他们认为它也许是风。我不如此认为!” 周顾的隔壁邻居齐惠也是怏怏不乐的。“起初,我认为它也许是狗,但我不能看狗和我仍然听见噪声外面。“大家在我们的邻里担心,并且大家有他们自己的想法。在我们的邻里的必须有某事参观家,但它是什么?Unit 6黄河渔夫 这是洪涛的最新电影。我很喜欢洪涛。几年来他制作了一些很棒的电影。不幸的是,这部是他最糟糕的电影。如果你在寻找快乐,就呆在家里看电视吧。“黄河渔夫”太长,确实令人厌烦,虽然它确实有几个不错的人物。我认为那个渔夫的妻子的确很滑稽。 Amy Kim的摄影 务必要看一看在Lido 画廊的这个展览。是当今世界上最著名的中国摄影家之一。而她的一些最著名的相片就在这个展览上展出。她的确为大家都准备了作品。有许多很棒的人物和乡下的照片。没什么城市的照片不成功(大部分城市的照片都成功)。我每天都看着这些相同的东西,所以它们引不起我多大兴趣。但是这是一个来自世界级摄影家的精彩展出。无论你在干什么,都不要错过这个展览。 疯狂与刮风 多年来我们看到的是有着漂亮而奇特名字的乐队来来去去。没什么乐队的名字能比得上这个乐队的奇怪了。就像它名字那样,乐队充满着激情。它们演奏的那种音乐都是我爱听的。每首歌曲声音的确很大,而且你常常听不懂唱的什么,但这没有关系,因为那些歌词不是很好。然而,这些就是使我们高兴的音乐家,甚至在星期一的早上。Unit 7Unit 8Last week everyone was trying to cheer up jimmt, the Bike Boy. But this week, Jimmy is happy again. On Monday, he had run out of money to buy old bikes. He also put up some signs asking for old bikes and called up all his friends and told them about the problem.

Although tea wasnt brought to the Western world until 1610,this beverage was discovered over three thousand years before that. According to an ancient Chinese legend the emperor Shen Nong discovered tea when he was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a nearby bush fell into the water and remained there for some time. The emperor noticed that the leaves in the water produced a pleasant smell. Later he decided to taste the hot mixture. It was quite delicious. And in this way,one of the worlds favorite drinks was invented.谁发明了茶?你知道么?茶,这世界上最受欢迎的饮品(仅次于水)是在一次偶然中发明的.虽然一直到1610年,茶才传播到西方国家,但这种饮品早在三千多年前就发明了.根据中国一则古老的传说,茶是在神农皇帝在外烧水是发现的.一些附近灌木丛的叶子落入水中,并停留了一段时间.神农帝发现这些水里的叶子散发出一种让人心旷神怡的香气.过了一会儿,他决定尝尝这混合的热饮,非常美味.就这样,世上最受欢迎的饮品产生了.Unit 10 In 1938, a radio program by actor Orson Wellesannounced that aliens from Mars had landed on the earth.

Some people think that ads are great. Others hate ads, saying that they make our cities and countryside look ugly. Many ads are aimed specifically at teenagers, and some young people see more than 100 advertisements a day. Its true that some ads can be very useful. For instance, they can help you to compare two different products so that you can buy the one you really need. They can also help you save money. When prices are listed, you can go to the store with the lowest price. Ads also tell you when stores are having sales. However, some advertising can be confusing or misleading. Sometimes the words sound good but dont really tell you anything about the quality of the product. At other times, the picture in an ad looks a lot better than the real thing. So you have to be careful. At times an ad can lead you to buy something you dont need at all.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。Unit 14Dont miss the New Ocean Waves!Do you like pop music?

She lives in a house that she built herself out of trash. Well, the stuff used to be called trash, but now its called “recycled” material. The windows and doors came from old buildings around the town that were being pulled down. The walls are made from old glass bottles that are glued together. The roof is made from discarded tiles. And the fence is built out of used soda cans. Amy recently won an award from the Help Save Our Planet Society. The president Jackson Smith said, “Amy is an inspiration to us all.” And what does Amy do in her spare time? She makes model toys out of old TVs, and sells them to raise money for the Childrens Hospital. 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。艾米最近获得了救助我们的地球协会颁发的奖项。杰克逊史密斯主席说:“艾米鼓舞了我们所有人.
