5、e side of the road. A woman was next to him, shouting for help. The bus driver, 24-year-old Wang Ping, stopped the bus without thinking twice. He got off and asked the woman what happened. She said that the man had a heart problem and should go to the hospital. Mr. Wang knew he had to act quickly. H

9、了關(guān)于做出明智抉擇和掌握自己生命的重要性。他對(duì)登山如此酷愛以至于即使這次經(jīng)歷之后他還繼續(xù)爬山。我們有和阿倫一樣的勇氣嗎？在我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己處于進(jìn)退兩難的處境之前以及在我們不得不做出生死抉擇之前，讓我們來(lái)想想它。P6 2b He Lost His Arm But Is Still ClimbingAron Ralston is an American man who is interested in mountain climbing. As a mountain climber, Aron is used to taking risks. This is one of the exciting t

11、mself 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 righ

12、t arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help. 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

13、 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 on climbing mountains even after this experience. Do we have the same spirit as Aron? Lets think about it before we find ourselves “

14、between a rock and a hard place”, and before we have to make a decision that could mean life or death. Unit 2 Ill help to clean up the city parks2d 海倫：嗨，湯姆。 我正在制訂今年夏天在養(yǎng)老院工作的一些計(jì)劃。湯姆：真的嗎？我去年夏天在那兒工作了！海倫： 哦，他們請(qǐng)你幫助做什么了？ 湯姆：嗯?像給老人讀報(bào)， 或者只是與他們聊天這樣的事。 他們給我講過(guò)去的生活經(jīng)歷和過(guò)去是什么樣子的。 海倫：那聽起來(lái)很有趣。 湯姆：是呀，許多的老人都很孤獨(dú)。我們應(yīng)該聽他

21、 a dream come true for me. I can do what I love to do and help others at the same time. 2b 親愛的李小姐，我想感謝你給 “動(dòng)物幫手 ”捐款。我確信你知道這個(gè)組織建立起來(lái)是為了幫助像我這樣的殘疾人的。有了你的幫助，我才有可能擁有 “幸運(yùn)兒 ”?！靶疫\(yùn)兒 ”對(duì)我的生活產(chǎn)生了很大的影響。讓我來(lái)告訴你我的故事。又瞎又聾會(huì)是怎么樣呢？或者想象一下你不能走或自如地用你的手。大多數(shù)人從沒考慮過(guò)這一點(diǎn)，但是許多人有這樣的困難。 我不能自如地使用自己的胳膊和腿，因此，一些像接電話、開關(guān)門，搬東西這些平常的事對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)都很困難

22、。后來(lái)，去年的一天，我的一位朋友幫我擺脫了困境。她與 “動(dòng)物幫手 ”組織聯(lián)系，試圖給我找一只經(jīng)過(guò)特殊訓(xùn)練的狗。她也認(rèn)為一只狗可能會(huì)使我振作起來(lái)。我喜愛動(dòng)物，并且我對(duì)擁有一只狗的主意感到很興奮。在“動(dòng)物幫手 ”那里，我與一只狗在一起經(jīng)過(guò)六個(gè)月的訓(xùn)練之后， 我能夠把他帶回家了。我的狗的名字叫 “幸運(yùn)兒 ”對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)很好的名字，因?yàn)槲矣X得擁有他真的很幸運(yùn)。你看，正是因?yàn)槟愕娜蚀?，我才能有一?“導(dǎo)盲犬 ”！“幸運(yùn)兒 ”很聰明并且能聽懂許多的英語(yǔ)單詞。當(dāng)我給他下命令時(shí)，他能聽懂我說(shuō)的話。例如，我說(shuō) “幸運(yùn)兒 ，把我的書拿來(lái) ”，他會(huì)馬上做到。“幸運(yùn)兒 ”是一只神奇的狗。如果你喜歡，我寄一張照片給你

23、吧，以后我會(huì)讓你看看他是如何幫助我的。再次感謝你改變了我的生活。 最美好的祝福， 本史密斯P14 2bDear Miss Li,Id like to thank you for sending money to Animal Helpers.

24、tell you my story.What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you cant walk or use your hands easily. Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties. I cant use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors

25、, or carrying things are difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out. She talked to Animal Helpers about getting me a special trained dog.

I cant work all day and do housework all evening.”“Well

33、, I work all day at school, too! Im just as tired as you are!” I shouted back.My mom did not say anything and walked away. For one week, she did not do any housework and neither did I. Finally, I could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.The next day, my mom came home from work to find the house

34、clean and tidy.“What happened?” she asked in surprise.“Im so sorry, Mom. I finally understand that we need to share the housework to have a clean and comfortable home,” I replied.P22 2b 親愛的先生： 我不理解為什么一些父母親讓他們的孩子在家里幫著做家務(wù)活和雜務(wù)。如今， 孩子們已經(jīng)有來(lái)自學(xué)校的足夠的壓力了。 他們也沒有時(shí)間去學(xué)習(xí)和做家務(wù)活。 家務(wù)活浪費(fèi)他們的時(shí)間。 我們只讓他們做學(xué)生分內(nèi)的事好嗎？為了取得好成績(jī)并

Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They dont have time to study and do housework, too. Housework

37、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 housework so theres no need for them to do it now. It is the parents job t

I dont mind doing them.Mr. SmithDear Sir,I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. Its not enough to just get go

39、od grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. Theyre always asking, “Could you get this for me?” or “Could you help me with that?” Doing chores helps to develop childrens independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the ide

40、a 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 gr

42、以便你們能再做朋友呢？盡管她不對(duì)，但它不是什么大不了的事。 金：你說(shuō)得對(duì)。謝謝你的建議。 戴夫：沒事。希望事情會(huì)好起來(lái)。Dave：You look sad, Kim. Whats wrong?Kim：Well, I found my sister looking through my things yesterday. She took some of my new magazines and CDs.Dave：Hmm thats not very nice. Did she give them back to you?Kim：Yes, but Im still angry with her.

43、 What should I do?Dave：Well, I guess you could tell her to say sorry. But why dont you forget about it so that you can be friends again? Although shes wrong, its not a big deal.Kim：Youre right. Thanks for your advice.Dave：No problem. Hope things work out.P27 3a3a 親愛的亨特先生： 我的問題是我不能和我的家人和睦相處。我父母之間的關(guān)系已

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 t

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 job
