1、5U1 How I Learned to Learn English Last year, I _1_( like) my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke so _ 2 (quick) that I did not understand her most of the time. I was afraid 3 ( ask) questions because of my poor 4 (pronounce). I just hid behind my textbook and never sa
2、id 5 (something). Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I 6 (fall) in love with this 7 (excite) and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies ,too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces h
3、elped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation improved as well by listening to the conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned 8 (
4、use) sentences like “Its a piece of cake” or “ 9 (it) serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at 10 (one). But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary. Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I ca
5、n have a better understanding of English movies.U2 Full Moon, Full Feelings Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for 1 (century). Mooncakes are in the shape of full on the Mid-Autumn night. They carry 2 (people) wishes to the families they love and miss
6、. There are many 3 (tradition) folk stories about this festival. However, most people think that the story if Change is the _4_(touch). Change was HouYis beautiful wife. After Hou Yi shot down the nine suns, a goddess gave him magic medicine to thank him. 5 (who) drank this could live forever, and H
7、ou Yi planned 6 (drink) it with Change. However, a bad man, PangMeng, tried to steal the medicine when Hou Yi 7 (be) at home. Change refused to give it to him and drank it all. She became very light and 8 (fly) up to the moon. Hou Yi was so sad that he called out her name to the moon every night. On
8、e night, he found that the moon was so bright and round that he could 9 (see) his wife there. He 10 (quick) laid out her favorite fruits and desserts in the garden. How he wished that Change could come back!U4 From Shy Girl to Pop Star1.For this 1 (month) Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-
9、old 2 (Asia) pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her 3 (shy).As she got 4 (good),she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now shes not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.2.I asked Candy how li
10、fe was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time.“I 5 (use) to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” 6 (however), too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always
11、 have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very 7 (care) about what I say or do. And I dont have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost 8 (possible) for me now because there are always guards around me.”3.What does Candy have to say to all those young people
12、who want 9 ( become) famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about 10 (give) up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very
13、small number of people make it to the top.U5 The Dicult Search for American Goods in the USIf you go to 1 (other) country, what kinds of things would you buy? Would you buy a camera in Japan, some 2 (beauty) clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland? No matter what you may buy, you might think 3
14、(that) products 4 (make) in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he went 5 (visit) his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it 6 (interest) that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to but a toy ca
15、r for my cousin, but even though most of the toys were American brands, they were made in China.”Toys 7 (be) the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains. “But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that 8 (Am
16、erica) can hardly avoid 9 (buy) products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there were many other things there made in China - footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks its great that China is so good at making these everyday things.
17、 However, he wishes that in the future China will also get 10 (good) at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.U6 An Accidental InventionDid you know that tea, the 1 ( popular) drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that
18、 tea was 2 (one) drunk nearly 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling 3 (drink) water over an open fire. Some 4 (leaf) from a tea plant 5 (fall) into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nic
19、e smell so he tasted the brown water anyway. It was quite delicious. In this way, one of the worlds favorite drinks was invented.More than 4,000 years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It als
20、o discusses where the 6 (fine) tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used .It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In 7 ( English), 8 (appear) tea appear until around 1660, but less than 100 years later, it had become the 9 (nation)dri
21、nk. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the 10 (popular) of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature
22、 of tea.U8 Strange Happenings in My TownWe live in a small town and almost everyone 1 (know) each other. It used to be very quiet and nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days, something 2 (usual) is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he
23、3 (interview) by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange 4 (noise) outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers 5 (have) fun. My parents called the policemen, but they 6 (could) find anything strange. They think it m
24、ight be the wind. I dont think so!”Victors next-door neighbor Helen is 7 (worry), too. “At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldnt see a dog, or anything else, either. So I guess it cant be a dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something 8 (run) away, but it wa
25、s dark so she is not sure. “I think it was too big to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.”Everyone in our town is feeling 9 (easy), and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must be something visiting the homes in our neighborhood, but what is it? We have no idea. 10 (most) peopl
26、e hope that this animal or person will simply go away, but I do not think that is going to happen. The noise-maker is having too much fun creating fear in the neighborhood. U9 What Do You Feel Like Watching Today?While some people only stick to one kind of movie, I like to watch 1 (dierence) kinds d
27、epending on how I feel that day.When Im down or tired, I prefer movies that can cheer me up. Comedies like Men in Black or cartoons like Kungfu Panda have 2 (fun) dialogues and usually have a happy ending. The characters may not be perfect, but they try their best to solve their problems. After 3 (w
28、atch) them, Im filled with hope again and the problems I have 4 (sudden) seem less serious. Laughing for two hours is a good way 5 (relax)!I dont watch dramas or 6 (documentary) when Im sad or tired. Dramas like Titanic make me feel even 7 (sad). Documentaries like March of the Penguins which provid
29、e plenty of 8 (information) about a certain subject can be interesting, but when Im tired I 9 (want) to think too much. I dont mind action movies like Spider-Man when Im too tired to think. I can just shut off my brain, sit back and enjoy 10 (watch) an exciting superhero who always saves the world j
30、ust in time.Once in a while, I like to watch movies that are scary, like horror movies or thrillers. Movies like The Ring or The Shining can be fun, but Im too scared to watch them alone. I always bring a friend who isnt afraid of these kinds of movies.U10 Opinions of a Colombian and a Swiss student
31、Teresa LopezCali, ColombiaWhere Im from, were pretty 1 (relax) about time. We dont like to rush around, so we 2 (mind) if people are a little late sometimes. If you tell a friend youre going to their house for dinner, its OK if you arrive a bit late. We like to enjoy our time 3 (slow). We value the
32、time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday 4 (life). We often just drop by our 5 (friend) homes if we have time. We dont usually have to make plans to meet our friends. When we see each other, its polite for boys 6 (shake) hands and for girls to kiss each other on the side of the face
33、. We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!Marc LeBlancLausanne, SwitzerlandIn Switzerland, its very important to be on time. Were the capital of clocksand 7 (watch), after all! If someone 8 (invite) you to meet him or her at noon, then youre expected to be
34、there at noon. If youre even 15 minutes late, your friend may get mad. So I make an eort 9 (be) on time when I meet my friends. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy trac. I dont mind because I think its impolite to keep others 10 (wait). Also, we never visit a friends house without calling
35、first. We almost always make plans to see friends. We usually plan to do something interesting, or go somewhere together.U11 How to Be HappyA long time ago, in a rich and peaceful country, there lived an 1 (happy) king. He slept 2 (bad) and didnt feel like 3 (eat). His face was always pale as chalk.
36、 He often cried for no reason. This made the queen and his people 4 (worry).One day, a doctor was called in to examine the king. But he found nothing wrong with his body. “Its all in his mind. 5 (either) medicine nor rest can help him. What he needs is the shirt of a happy person to wear. Thatll mak
37、e him happy.”The prime minister was called to the palace. But when they explained the kings situation to him, he said, “Although I have a lot of power, it 6 (make) me happy. Im always worried about 7 (lose) my power. Many people are trying to take my position.”Then, the kings banker came to the pala
38、ce. “Oh, Im afraid Im not happy either,” he said. I have a lot of 8 (wealthy), but Im always worried about losing my money. Someone tries to steal my money every day.”Next, the palace singer came to the kings room. But this is what he 9 (say): “Its true that Im famous and everyone loves my songs. Bu
39、t Im not happy because Im always worried about being followed by others. I cannot be free!”Finally, the kings top general was told 10 (go) out and find a happy man in three days time.U12 Life is full of the unexpected. In May 2001, I found a job in New York at the World Trade Center. On September 11
40、, 2001, I arrived at my building at around 8:30 a.m. I was about to go up when I decided 1 (get) a coee first. I went to my favorite coee place even though it was two blocks 2 (east) from my oce. As I was waiting in line with other oce workers, I heard a loud sound. Before I could join the others ou
41、tside to see what was going on, the 3 (one) plane had already hit my oce building. We stared in 4 (believe) at the black smoke rising above the 5 (burn) building. I felt 6 (luck) to be 7 (live). Almost 10 years later, I woke up at 10:00 a.m. on February 21, 2011 and realized that my alarm never went o . I jumped out of bed and went straight to the airport. But by the time I got to the airport, my plane to New Zealand had already taken o. “This is the first holiday Ive taken in a year, and I 8 (miss) my plane. What bad luck!” I thought to
