As a mountain climber, Aron isused totakingrisks.Thisisoneof the exciting things about doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents. On April 26, 2003, hefound himself in a very dangeroussituationwhenclimbinginUtah.On that day, Arons arm was caught under a 360-kilo rock that fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He was not ready to die that day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much blood. After that, heclimbeddownthemountainto findhelp.After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and a Hard Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of. In this book, Aron tells of the importance of making good decisions, and of being in control of ones life. His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept onclimbingmountainsevenafterthisexperience.Do we have the same spirit as Aron? Lets think about it before we find ourselves “between a rock and a hard place”, and before we have to make a decisionthatcouldmeanlifeordeath.阿倫羅爾斯頓是一個對登山感興趣的美國人。作為一個登山者，Aron習(xí)慣于冒險。這項(xiàng)危險運(yùn)動是一個令人興奮的事情之一。有很多次阿倫因?yàn)槭鹿什铧c(diǎn)丟了性命。2003年4月26日，他在猶他登山時發(fā)現(xiàn)自己處于非常危險的境地。在那一天，Aron的手臂被夾在3600公斤的巖石，落在他身上時，他自己在山里爬山。因?yàn)樗荒茏杂傻氖直?，他在那里呆了五天，希望有人會找到他。但?dāng)他的水用完了，他知道他將不得不做一些事情來挽救自己的生命。他還沒有準(zhǔn)備好那天死去。因此，他用他的刀割了他的右手臂的一半。然后，用左臂纏著繃帶，他自己，他不會失去太多的血。在那之后，他爬上了山，找到了幫助。失去了他的手臂后，他寫了一本書，名叫一塊巖石和一個堅(jiān)硬的地方。這意味著在一個困難的情況下，你似乎無法擺脫。在這本書中，Aron講述了做出好的決定的重要性，并能控制自己的生活。他是如此熱愛登山，即使在這段經(jīng)歷之后，他仍不停地攀登山峰。我們有同樣的精神，Aron？讓我們先考慮一下，在我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己“在一個巖石和一個堅(jiān)硬的地方之間”之前，我們必須做出一個決定，這可能意味著生命或死亡。P11 Unit2Illhelptocleanupthecityparks我將幫助清理城市公園StudentsWhoVolunteer學(xué)生志愿者M(jìn)ario Green and Mary Brown from Riverside High School give up several hourseachweektohelpothers.Mario loves animals and wants to be an animal doctor.

Mario believes it can help him to get his future dream job. “Its hard work,” hesays, “but I want to learn more about how to care for animals.I get such a strong feeling of satisfaction when I see the animals get better and the look of joy on their ownersfaces.”Mary is a book lover. She could read by herself at the age of four. Last year she decided to try out for a volunteer after-school reading program. She still works there once a week to help kids learn to read. The kids are sitting in the library, but you can see in their eyes that theyre going on a different journey with each new book. Volunteering here is a dream come true for me. I can do what I love to doand help others at the same time.Mario Green和Mary Brown從河邊高中放棄幾個小時每周幫助別人。馬里奧喜歡動物，想成為一個動物醫(yī)生。他每個星期六早上都在動物醫(yī)院的志愿者。馬里奧相信它可以幫助他得到他未來的夢想工作?！斑@是一種艱苦的工作，”他說，“但我想了解更多關(guān)于如何照顧動物的。當(dāng)我看到動物們變得更好，他們的主人的臉上的喜悅的表情，我得到了這樣一種強(qiáng)烈的滿足感。瑪麗是一個書的情人。她四歲時就可以自己讀了。去年，她決定嘗試一個志愿者的課外閱讀計(jì)劃，她仍然每周工作一次，幫助孩子們學(xué)會閱讀。孩子們坐在圖書館里，但你可以看到他們的眼睛，他們正在進(jìn)行一個不同的旅程與每一本新書。在這里做志愿者是我的夢想。我可以做我喜歡做的，并幫助別人在同一時間P14 IllSendYouaPhotoofLucky我會給你一張幸運(yùn)的照片DearMissLi,親愛的李小姐Id like to thank you for giving money to Animal Helpers.

He wanted a walk, but I was too tired.I threw down my bag and went to the living room. The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over. “Could you please take the dog for a walk?” sheasked.“Could I watch one show first？” I asked. “NO!” she replied angrily. “You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house! I cant work all day and do housework all evening.” “Well, I work all day at school, too!

It is still a good idea to read the first sentence in each paragraph a little more carefully. 這意味著很快通過一段文字，找到主要的想法，而不閱讀每一個字。讀每一段的第一句話還是一個好主意DearSir, 親愛的先生，Ido not understand why some parents make their kids help with houseworkand chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get older, they will have to do houseworksothere is no need for them to do it now. It is the parentsjob to provide a clean and comfortable environment athomefortheirchildren. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult.Ido not minddoingthem.Ms.Miller我不明白為什么有些父母會讓他們的孩子在家里做家務(wù)和家務(wù)活?，F(xiàn)在的孩子們已經(jīng)有足夠的壓力了。他們沒有時間學(xué)習(xí)和做家務(wù)，太。做家務(wù)是浪費(fèi)時間。我們可以讓他們做他們的學(xué)生的工作嗎？他們應(yīng)該把時間花在學(xué)習(xí)上，以便取得好成績，進(jìn)入一所好大學(xué)。此外，當(dāng)他們長大了，他們將不得不做家務(wù)，所以沒有必要他們現(xiàn)在這樣做。父母的工作是為他們的孩子提供一個干凈舒適的家里的環(huán)境。無論如何，我認(rèn)為做家務(wù)不是那么困難。我不介意做他們。DearSir,I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents withhousework.It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always asking, “Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helps to develop childrens independence andteaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.Mr.Smith認(rèn)為重要的是讓孩子學(xué)會如何做家務(wù)，并幫助他們的父母做家務(wù)。在學(xué)校里取得好成績是不夠的。如今的孩子們依靠他們的父母太多了。他們總是在問：“你能幫我拿這個嗎？”“或者”你能幫我嗎？做家務(wù)有助于培養(yǎng)孩子的獨(dú)立性，并教他們?nèi)绾握疹欁约?。它也有助于他們理解公平的理念。因?yàn)樗麄兒退麄兊母改缸≡谝凰孔永铮麄儜?yīng)該知道每個人都應(yīng)該盡自己的一部分保持干凈整潔。我們的鄰居的兒子上了一所好大學(xué)，但在他的第一年，他不知道如何照顧自己。因此，他經(jīng)常生病，他的成績下降了。早期的孩子學(xué)會獨(dú)立，這是為了他們的未來。P27 Unit 4 Whydontyoutalktoyourparents?你為什么不跟你的父母說話呢？DearMr.Hunt,My problem is I cant get on with my family. Relations between my parents have become difficult. They fight a lot, and I really dont like it. Its the only communication they have. I dont know if I should say anything to them about this. When they argue, its like a big, black cloud hanging over our home. Also, my elder brother is not very nice to me. He always refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show. Instead he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I dont think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do?SadandThirteenDearSadandThirteen,Its not easy being your age, and its normal to have these feelings. Why dont you talk about these feelings with your family? If your parents are having problems, you should offer to help. Maybe you could do more jobs around the house so that they have more time for proper communication. Secondly, why dont you sit down and communicate youre your brother? You should explain that you dont mind him watching TV all the time. However, he should let you watch your favorite show. I hope things will be better for you soon.RobertHunt我的問題是我不能和我的家人相處。我父母之間的關(guān)系變得很困難。他們打了很多，我真的不喜歡它。這是他們唯一的溝通。我不知道我該不該對他們說些什么。當(dāng)他們爭論時，它就像一個大的，黑色的云掛在我們的家里。此外，我的哥哥對我不是很好。他總是拒絕讓我看我最喜歡的電視節(jié)目。相反，他看他想要的東西，直到深夜。我不認(rèn)為這是公平的。在家里我總是感到孤獨(dú)和緊張。這是正常的嗎？我能做什么？這是不容易的是你的年齡，這是正常的有這些感情。你為什么不跟你的家人談?wù)勥@些感受呢？如果你的父母有問題，你應(yīng)該提供幫助。也許你可以在房子周圍做更多的工作，以便他們有更多的時間進(jìn)行適當(dāng)?shù)臏贤ā５诙?，你為什么不坐下來和你的兄弟溝通？你?yīng)該解釋說你不介意他一直看電視。然而，他應(yīng)該讓你看你最喜歡的節(jié)目。我希望一切都會對你更好。P30 MaybeYouShouldLearntoRelax!也許你應(yīng)該學(xué)會放松！These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they to take so many after-school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesnt only happen in China. The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylors three children is very busy. “On most days after school,” Cathy says, “Itake one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my childrens future. I really want them to be successful. “However, the tired children dont get home until after 7:00p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then its time for homework. Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. “In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. Its crazy. I dont think thats fair. Why dont they just let their kids bekids? People shouldnt push their kids so hard.” Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a childs development. Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. “Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although its normal to want successful children, its even more important tohavehappychildren.”這些天，中國的孩子有時周末比平常還要忙，因?yàn)樗麄儼涯敲炊嗟恼n外輔導(dǎo)班。他們中的許多人學(xué)習(xí)考試的技能，使他們可以進(jìn)入一個很好的高中，后來一所好大學(xué)。其他人正在練習(xí)運(yùn)動，以便他們可以競爭和取勝。然而，這不僅發(fā)生在中國。泰勒斯是一個典型的美國家庭。Cathy Taylor的三個孩子的生活很忙?！霸诜艑W(xué)后的大多數(shù)日子里，”凱西說，“我?guī)Я宋业膬蓚€男孩去參加籃球訓(xùn)練，我的女兒參加了足球訓(xùn)練。然后我必須帶我的其他兒子上鋼琴課。也許我可以減少他們的一些活動，但我相信這些活動對我的孩子的未來是重要的。我真的希望他們是成功的?！叭欢?，孩子們累了，不到7:00，他們有一個快速的晚餐后回家，然后做作業(yè)的時間。Linda Miller，三個孩子的母親，她知道這樣的壓力?！霸谝恍┘彝ィ偁庨_始很年輕，并一直持續(xù)到孩子們長大，”她說?！澳赣H把孩子們送去各種各樣的課。他們總是把他們和其他孩子進(jìn)行比較。這是瘋狂的。我不認(rèn)為這是公平的。為什么他們不讓他們的孩子成為孩子呢？人們不應(yīng)該把他們的孩子這么難。醫(yī)生說，太多的壓力對孩子的發(fā)展是不好的。Alice Green博士說，所有這些活動都會給孩子們帶來很大的壓力。“孩子們應(yīng)該有時間放松和思考自己，太。雖然想要成功的孩子是正常的，但要有快樂的孩子就更重要了。P35 Unit5 What were you doingwhentherainstormcame?當(dāng)暴風(fēng)雨來的時候你在做什么？TheStormBroughtPeopleCloserTogetherBen could hear strong winds outside his home in Alabama. Black clouds were making the sky very dark. With no light outside, it felt like midnight. The news on TV reported thataheavyrainstormwasinthearea.Everyone in the neighborhood was busy. Bens dad was putting pieces of wood over the windows while his mom was making sure the flashlights and radio were working. She also put some candles and matches on the table.Benwashelpinghismommakedinnerwhentherainbegantobeatheavilyagainst the windows. After dinner, they tried to play a card game, but it was hard to have fun withaseriousstormhappeningoutside.Ben could not sleep at first. He finally fell asleep when the wind was dying down at around 3:00 a.m. When he woke up, the sun was rising. He went outside with his family and found the neighborhood in a mess. Fallen trees, broken windows and rubbish were everywhere. They joined the neighbors to help clean up the neighborhood together. Although the storm broke many things apart, it brought families and neighbors closer together.風(fēng)暴使人們更接近本能聽到他在亞拉巴馬州的家外的強(qiáng)風(fēng)。黑色的云使天空變得很黑暗。外面沒有光，感覺像是午夜。電視新聞報(bào)道說該地區(qū)有一次大暴雨。附近的每個人都很忙。本的爸爸把木頭在窗戶的時候，他的媽媽正在確保手電筒和收音機(jī)的工作。她還放了一些蠟燭和火柴在桌子上。本正在幫助他的媽媽做飯，雨開始在窗戶上重重地打了一頓。晚飯后，他們試圖玩紙牌游戲，但很難有樂趣與一個嚴(yán)重的風(fēng)暴發(fā)生在外面。本第一次睡不著。他終于睡著了，當(dāng)風(fēng)平息下來大約在凌晨3點(diǎn)，當(dāng)他醒來時，太陽正在升起。他和他的家人一起出去，發(fā)現(xiàn)附近有一片混亂。倒下的樹，破碎的窗戶和垃圾到處都是。他們加入了鄰居，幫助清理附近的鄰居。雖然暴風(fēng)雨打破了許多東西，它帶來了家庭和鄰居更緊密的聯(lián)系在一起。P38Do You Remember WhatYouWereDoing?People often remember what they were doing when they heard the news of important events in history. In America, for example, many people remember what they were doing on April 4, 1968. This was an important event in American history. On this day, Dr. Martin Luther King was killed. Although some people may not remember who killed him, they remember what they were doing when they heard the news.Robert Allen is now over 50, but he was a school pupil at that time. “It was a bright, sunny day,” Robert remembers. “We were having fun in the playground when the school bell rang. Our teacher said, Dr. King died just 10 minutes ago. We were completely surprised!” School closed for the day, Robert and his friends walked homeinsilence.More recently, most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists. Even the date-September 11,2001-has meaning to most Americans.This was a day Kate Smith will never forget. She remembers working in her office near the two towers. “My friend shouted that a plane just hit the World Trade Center! I didnt believe him at first, but then I looked out the window and realized that it was true. I was so scared that I could hardly think clearly after that.”你還記得你在做什么嗎人們常常記得當(dāng)他們聽到歷史上重要事件的消息時，他們在做什么。例如，在美國，許多人記得他們在1968年4月4日做的什么。這是美國歷史上的一個重要事件。在這一天，馬丁路德金博士被殺。雖然有些人可能不記得是誰殺了他，但他們記得當(dāng)他們聽到這個消息時，他們在做什么。Robert Allen現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)50歲了，但當(dāng)時他是一個學(xué)校的學(xué)生?！斑@是一個明亮，陽光燦爛的一天，”羅伯特回憶說?！爱?dāng)學(xué)校的鈴聲響起時，我們在操場上玩的很開心。我們的老師說，金博士在10分鐘前就死了，我們都很驚訝！“學(xué)校關(guān)閉了一天，羅伯特和他的朋友們在沉默中走回家。最近，大多數(shù)美國人記得他們在紐約的世界貿(mào)易中心被恐怖分子襲擊時所做的事情。即使是2001年9月11日的日期對大多數(shù)美國人也有意義。這一天Kate Smith永遠(yuǎn)不會忘記。她記得在兩個塔附近的辦公室里工作。我的朋友大聲說，一架飛機(jī)撞上世貿(mào)中心！我起初不相信他，但后來我看了看窗外，意識到這是真的。我很害怕，我?guī)缀跸氩磺宄??！盤43Unit61.

Most of them were hearing this story for the first time. However, this story is not new to Chinese children.
