Jessica was 35 years old. She graduated from middle school 20 years ago. This year her middle school class had its 20th year class for reunion. All of her classmates and teachers were invited to attend. It’s to going to be held at the hotel, near where their school used to be. Like many other buildings, the school had been torn down. It had been replaced by some of the apartment buildings.

At first, she wasn’t sure if she could go to the reunion. One reason was that there wasn’t anyo ne in particular that she wanted to see. Another reason was that she was very busy. She was a working mother, with a boy 8 years old and her husband who was rarely at home. Going to the reunion meant that she would have to arrange someone to take care of t hings while she was away. That wouldn’t be easy. She didn’t want to take her boy with her and her husband wouldn’t take time off from work. Then she got a message from Sharon, one of her classmates. Sharon was contacting people from their class and urging everyone to come. In the school days, she was class monitor, and now she was helping to organize the reunion. They exchanged the messages and Jessica said she couldn’t make it. Then Sharon gave her a call and they talked for almost an hour. Sharon really wanted her to come and so did a couple of Jessica’s old friends. They were all wondering how she was doing. None of them have seen or heard from her since graduation. They were especially curious since she hadn’t gone to their first reunion 10 years before.

Jessica decided to arrange things so that she could go. Her husband finally agreed to take care of things while she was away. He agreed to do it because her mother had offered to come and stay for a while so Jessica could attend the reunion. Since he an d her mother didn’t get along, he decided to change his schedule and work from home for a few days. He really didn’t want her mother to come though he didn’t say so.

When she got to the reunion, she was shocked. Everyone had aged so much and many of them were out of shape. Some who used to be good-looking had lost their looks completely and others look much better and before. It was strange how time had changed people in such different ways. Anyway, she decided that since she was there, she would try to enjoy it.

She felt a bit awkward and out of place. But it wasn’t before a strange man came up to her. He was already losing his hear and he was wearing thick glasses(深度眼镜). Don’t you remember me He asked. When he said who he was, she barely remembered him, especially he has changed so much. Then he told her that he had always had crush on her. He said she looked beautiful and he immediately took a selfie of them, with his arm tight around her waist. This made her felt a bit strange. She smiled at him and pretended to be happy to see him. But in fact, she was sure how to react, thought he seemed nice. She finally excused herself and went to the ladies’ room. She was beginning to regret to having come to the reunion. She had always been shy and she still was. When she returned to the party, Sharon invited her to sit at her table. Dinner was going to be served soon and some of the classmates were going to give speeches. Sharon next was also got to say a few words too because people were curious. This was a surprise. Jessica h ad never been very popular and she didn’t think anyone had noticed her. She had always felt like an outsider, with only a couple of close friends. Still, she had been one of the best students and people remembered her. As the evening wore on, Jessica began to really enjoy herself. She told to her old friends and was amazed by how some others had changed.

For example, Tom used to be good looking and athletic. He was one of the most popular students, and star basketball player. His one problem was math. He had had hard time in math especially in geometric. This is because he wasn’t a logical thinker. Except for basketball, he didn’t want to do anything, unless it was easy. Tom was no longer good looking. His nose which had always been large, had grown even larger. He had also gained a lot of weight. His wife had left him so for the first time and ever, he was lone. He looked lonely and depressed, not at all like he used to be. Steve was a nobody in middle school. People hardly noticed him. He was small, quiet and a bit ugly with crooked teeth. What he was good at was English. His English was even better than their teachers. After graduating, he went to low rent university and eventually dropped out. For a while, he worked as a tour guide. Then, 10 years ago, he and some friends started a little company which is now a great success. In fact, he had become a rich, generous man. He had a nice warm smile and his success hadn’t gone to his head(冲昏头脑). It was a pleasure to be around him.

Betty used to be the most beautiful girl in school. She wasn’t very smart but she was a great singer. She made a video of her singing and it went viral. She became famous overnight but it only lasted for about 2 years. After that, her fans lost interested in her. She tried to become an actress, but she failed. She has been too stiff and nervous in front of the camera. Betty has a nice husband who seems to adopt her. The one tragedy in her life happened about 5 years ago when she lost her daughter

to a rare form of cancer. Because of that, her hair had begun to turn grey. Jessica couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. Betty had had such high hope in tremendous energy as a girl, but things didn’t work out.

And then there was John. John used to be the school bully. He had been big, strong and mean. He hadn’t been nice to anybody. It seemed that he was always angry and ready to hit someone. After graduating, he joined the army and went overseas to fight to a war. His saw many people died and he grew to hate fighting of any kind. Then one day, he was nearly killed when a helicopter he was in was shut down. He survived the crash(事故) but he lost a leg and was hospitalized for nearly a year. Now he had completely changed. He had gentle, kind eyes and beautiful smile. He was working for an organi zation that provides support to elderly people. From Jessica’s point of view, john had turned out to be a wonderful surprise. In the end, Jessica was glad she went to her reunion. It was interesting to see how people had changed through these years. Still, she was happy to get home and appreciate everything that she had.

There are many mysteries in nature. Mysteries are things we don’t understand, such as how the Egyptian pyramids were built. In fact, we are surrounded by mysteries. What we know about the world, seems like very little. Scientists tell us that what we see in the universe is only a small part of what is there. The rest is invisible, including dark matter and dark energy. These two unknowns made up around 95% of the universe. Evidence for their existence comes from their effects on what we can observe, such as the motion and positions of the distant galaxies. Yet thought we know very little, we are able to build airplanes and communicate with smartphones. In some ways, we humans are very smart or at least we think we are. We still need to face big issues, like climat e change and that’s going to be a huge challenge. The challenge for humans will be our abilities to adapt to our chancing environment. What about other form of life How did they adapt Seasonal variations, for example, can be one of the greatest challenges for animals to overcome. Overcoming such challenges will be a great achievement but hardly easy. Some birds migrate thousands of kilometers each year, to deal with seasonal changes. These migrations are amazing. Birds don’t carry maps or compasses yet they know where to go. They had developed their abilities to see the earth magnetic field. This ability is a wonder of nature. It takes advantage of the fact that the earth is like a huge bar magnet. It has north polar, which is positive and south polar, which is negative. Somehow the birds are able to see this magnetic field and use it to their advantage. And even the way birds flying together is amazing. Some migrating birds fly in a V formation. They do this to conserve energy. In a V formation, birds can use the energy of the birds in front of them. These energy comes from the air currents, generated by the wings. Conserving energy is necessary for the birds to survive in long journey. Who did the birds know this It’s truly amazing how the birds know this.

Another amazing example of survive animal is the Salmon. Salmon spent most of their lives in the ocean which is salty water. Yet, when it’s time to breed, they do so in fresh water rivers. Salmon can adapt their bodies to survive in both saltwater and fresh water. When it’s breeding time, they returned to the same water where they were born. It seems as if they had built-in map that guides them for a hundred of miles. Once they left the salt water, they don’t eat. They are determined to finish their journey despite of many obstacles. They swam against the strong currents, jump over the waterfalls and try to escape the claws of hungry bears. Many die along the way but enough of them survive to breed and reproduce the next generation. Once they had lay their eggs, they die, having completed their journey. It seems that their purpose in life is just to reproduce. Migration takes the animals to new, more favorable environments when seasons change. Some of these journeys are long and dangerous along around not obvious landmarks. The longest migration is that of a tern. It flies from polar to polar, twice a year. If a tern achieves its average

lifespan of 20 years, the distance it has flown will be equivalent to a journey to the moon and back. Humans also migrate but seldom if ever for seasonal variations. fortunately, human migrations are often due to human activities. Since the beginning of the 21st century, large scale migrations had become a global problem. Millions of migrates had had to leave their countries and look for new homes. Many have died along the way or left these refugees in camps until they are admitted into a new country. So the question remains as to how our global communities will face these challenges.

L5 Unit 1-4 vocabulary

To encourage someone is to support their efforts and help build their confidence.

A good teacher encourages students to do their best. To discourage someone is to get away their confidence.

There are many cycle in nature, such as the circles of seasons. A cycle is a series of events that repeat, such as the daily cycle of light and dark.

To evolve means to change or improve over a period of time. In biology, the series of evolution advanced life forms such as such as humans, have evolved from lower form of life.

A force of attraction brings two objects closer together, such as the force of gravity.

A force of repulsion pushes two objects away from each other, such as the force between two electrons.

To transform means to change from one form into another. A transformation occurs when an object takes on(呈现) a new appearance or structure.

To inherit something means to get it without having to ask or work for it. A child from a very rich family may inherit a lot of money.

L6U n i t1-1L i s t e n i n g事故和身体恢复 Harry Beecham works for a hi-tech German company based in the Munich. Last month, he was in an automobile accident. He was on his way to attend an important meeting in New York City. He had just arrived on a flight from London and was taking a taxi into the city. The weather was terrible and the road was icy. He was in a hurry so he asked the taxi driver to get him into the city as soon as possible. The taxi driver agreed and sped up but just as they left the airport, the car was out of control. It spun around and skidded into(滑入) the path of an oncoming truck. Fortunately, the truck was going too fast, so nobody was killed. But the taxi was severely damaged and both passengers were injured. The taxi driver survived with only a few injured because he was wearing a seatbelt. The car accident wouldn’t have been happened had the weather been better. Had he put on his seatbelt, he might not have been injured so badly. Had the weather been better, the accident wouldn’t have been happened. The taxi airbag had also been deployed(使展开), absorbing much of the impact. However, Harry, who was in the back seat, having put on his seatbelt. As a result, he was severely injured, and had to be rushed to the hospital. Now, a month later, Harry still can’t remember much of what happened. When he first woke up in the hospital, it was several hours after the accident and he wasn’t sure where he was. The bad news was that he couldn’t move his legs. This was because his back had been broken in the accident. The doctor later told him that he might never regain the use of his legs. Some of his nerves in his spine(脊柱) and legs had been damaged but everything else was OK. Now, Harry is trying to figure out what to do. If he works hard and exercises every day, there will still a chance that he legs will recover on their own. There are also some new treatments that might help his nerve regenerate. Still, he should be prepared for the long recovery and possibility that he might never walk again. Without the use of his legs, he wouldn’t be able to continue working in the same way. it wouldn’t be possible to travel, so he would have to find another way to attend the meeting. Either that or he would have to look for another way to make a living. Harry has a good disability insurance, so mon ey won’t be problem for a while. But sooner or later, he wants to be able to earns a living again. Of course he isn’t planning to give up on his legs. If he works hard, he might still be able to regain the use and learn to walk again. Some of his nerves had been damaged but there was a chance that they were healed. The new drugs being developed might make it possible for the nerves to grow back. Still, he has to face the possibility that nothing will work. Whatever happens, Harry is determined to think posi tively. Even he can’t walk, he can still attend the meeting all over the world. With technology, he could be anywhere and there is much that he can still do. Luckily, he still has to use his arms and hands and his brain is still functioning. With the right attitude, he can find a way forward. There is no reason to despair in or feeling sorry for oneself. That kind of think won’t solve anything. He just hopes that his company or another will get him a chance to prove himself. He could still be a valuable asset for them, come or make.

Unit 3-1 Listening There are many forms of lives on earth, including human beings. Life exists in a variety of conditions. Some forms of live live in the watery environment, like the oceans. Other forms of lives can be found in very dry areas like desserts. However, for any form of live to exist, conditions must be right. When the conditions aren’t right, that form of lives can extinct. To become extinct means to die out completely. Conditions must be right for life to exist. Millions of years ago, there were forms of lives that no longer exist. When condition changed, this form of life died out. One extinction event happened about 250 million years ago. This is the largest extinction event of all time. Many forms of lives become extinct. 96% of all lives in the oceans died out. Most insects also became extinct. This event happened over a period of several million years. The causes of this extinction event are still unknown. Possible causes include largest volcanic eruptions and global warming. Some scientists believe that there were several causes. They believe that a series of events caused the extinctions. Scientists are working for better understand what really happened. In modern times, we human beings face changing conditions. For humans to live, we need clean air and clean water. Pollution is now a growing problem around the world. Pollution poisons the air and water that we depend on. Polluted air makes people sick and afraid to get outside. Polluted water poisons our food supply. As a result, we never know which foods are safe to eat. Human beings can be not live in a poisoned environment. Therefore, pollution is a major threat to our existence. Humans need temperature to be in a comfortable range. To be in a comfortable range means to be neither too hot nor too cold. With global warming, global temperatures are rising. As global temperatures rise, the polar icecaps will melt. As the polar icecaps melt, ocean levels will rise. Areas of some countries will soon be under water. People would be forced to relocated from flooded areas. In nature, even small changes can sometimes have large effects. It’s difficult to predict what’s going to happen. The entire ecosystem that we depend on is changing. Some of these changings are irreversible. Irreversible changes cannot be undone. Let’s hope the humans are smart enough to understand how the world is changing. With more understanding, we make better choices about what to do. We c an face the challenge of the pollutions and global warming. We need to do this before it’s too late. This planet of earth is our only home and we need to protect it. Unit 3-1 vocabulary Lizard 蜥蜴 Mammals are covered by hair or fur, have a backbone and warm-blooded. All mammals produce milk for the young. Reptiles are covered by s, includes snakes, lizards and turtles. Reptiles have a backbone and are cold-blooded, which means they often rely on the external resources of heat. Birds are covered by feather and are warm blooded. Most of the birds can fly and many types of bird migrate great distances. Most insects such ants and bees have a small 3 parts body with 3 pairs of legs. Some insects, such as mosquitoes, spread diseases that cause the deaths of many humans.

英语单词学习方法

英语单词学习方法各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢 一、分清消极词汇和积极词汇 我们学习英语，能学会所有的因素和发音规则，也有可能掌握所有的语法和规则，但要学会所有的单词是无法做到的。且不说外语学习者。即便把英语作为母语使用的人也难以达到这一目标。其实我们学习汉语也是如此。我相信，没有一个中国人敢说他学会了所有汉字。既然我们学不会所有的单词，那么就要把有限的时间用在学习最有用的词汇上。 如对我们所学的汉字稍作分析，就会发现有的字我们只是认识，但在说话行文中很少运用，但有些字就没有这样的差别，看得懂，听得明，说得出，用的上。前一类字，称为消极或接受性词汇(receptive vocabulary),后一类称为积极或表达性词汇(productive vocabulary)。一

般说来，我们掌握的消极词汇数量远远大于积极词汇。 同样，学习英语单词时也有消极和积极词汇之分。从某种意义上说，学习语言的过程也是一个不断将消极词汇逐步变成积极词汇的过程，不同的学习阶段有不用的要求。目前中学的教学大纲上所规定的词汇基本上都应该作为积极词汇来掌握，但事实上，我们并没有达到这一要求，有相当一部分词仍旧停留在消极词汇。 如果作为消极词汇来说，我们只需要见到或听到某词时能说出词义就行了;而作为积极词汇学习要达到以下几方面要求：1)会读;2)会拼;3)能说出词义;4)能知道该词的语法属性;5)能正确运用该词的搭配;6)能指出该词所传达的感情色彩。很显然关用猜测的方法是达不到上述要求的，先猜后查字典可能就比较有效。 二、什么样的单词该记? 英语单词有几十万。要向全记住显

教你一眼看出英语单词意思的方法

教你一眼看出单词意思的方法请大家想一想，英语是谁发明的？英国人呗！英国人认不认识汉语？不认识！那么英国人在学英语单词的时候需不需要记住单词的汉语意思？不需要，英国人的英语课本里根本就没有汉字，何谈记住单词的汉语意思？那么既然英国人学英语不需要记住(甚至根本就见不到)单词的汉语意思，那么中国人学英语为什么要去记住单词的汉语意思呢？这种做法大家不觉得奇怪吗？ 然而由于中国人学英语时都在背单词的汉语意思，因此大家反而觉不出“背汉字”有什么奇怪的了。其实仔细想一想，这个行为真的很奇怪，奇怪的根源不在于行为本身，而在于中国人普遍不会直接识别英语单词的意思，因而只好靠汉语符号来机械地帮助记忆英语单词的意思，这样去学英语不仅多此一举，而且必然会陷入苦海无边的符号记忆灾难中。 其实英语单词和汉字一样，存在着很多的“偏旁部首”，知道了偏旁部首你就可以根据它们直接来猜测单词的意思，虽不说百分之百猜准，但起码可以猜测个大概，至少在别人告诉过你单词的意思后你可以恍然大悟地领会它，这样就可以大大增强你对英语单词“见字识意”的能力，做到真正认识一个单词，而把它的汉语意思仅做为一般参考。 举几个例子来说吧： 比如单词representative，请别急着告诉我你认识这个单词，其实你不见得“认识”这个单词，你仅是凭着你的记忆力记住了这串英语字母和两个汉字符号“代表”之间的对应关系，这样去学英语你会多费劲？下面我来告诉你这个单词为什么是“代表”的意思。re在英语里是一个偏旁部首，它是“回来”的意思；pre 也是一个偏旁部首，是“向前”的意思；sent也是一个偏旁部首，是“发出去、派出去”的意思；a仅是偏旁部首之间的一个“连接件”，没了它两个辅音字母t就要连在一起了，发音会分不开，会费劲，因此用一个元音字母a隔开一下；tive 也是一个偏旁部首，是“人”的意思。那么这几个偏旁部首连在一起是什么意思呢？re-pre-sent-a-tive，就是“回来-向前-派出去-的人”，即“回来征求大家的意见后又被派出去替大家讲话的人”，这不就是“代表”的意思吗！这么去认识一个单词才是真正“认识”了这个单词，把它认识到了骨子里。

Level 6 Unit 1 1/4 Listening Harry bitchem works for a high-tech German company, based in Munich. Last month he was in an automobile accident. He was on his way to attend an important meeting in New York City. 哈里·比特汉姆在慕尼黑的一家德国高科技公司工作。上个月他出了车祸。他正在去纽约参加一个重要会议的路上。 He had just arrived on a flight from London and was taking a taxi into the city. The purpose of his trip was to attend a meeting. The weather was terrible and the road was icy. 他刚从伦敦乘飞机到达，正在打车进城。他这次旅行的目的是参加一个会议。天气很糟糕，道路结冰。 He was in a hurry so he asked the taxi driver to get him into the city as soon as possible. The taxi driver agreed and sped up. But just as they left the airport, the car went out of control. It spun around and skidded into the path of an oncoming truck. Fortunately, the truck wasn’t going too fast, so nobody was killed. But the taxi was severely damaged and both passangers were injured. 他很着急，所以他请出租车司机尽快把他送到城里。出租车司机同意了，加快了速度。但就在他们离开机场时，车失控了。它旋转着滑进一辆迎面而来的卡车的路径。幸运的是，卡车开得不太快，所以没有人死亡。但是出租车严重损坏，两个乘客都受伤了。 The accident wouldn’t have happened had the weather been better. Had the weather been better the accident wouldn’t have happened If the weather hadn’t been bad, the accident probably wouldn’t have happened. The taxi driver survived with only a few injuries because he was wearing a seatbelt. 如果天气好一点，事故就不会发生了。如果天气好一点，事故就不会发生了。如果天气不坏，事故可能不会发生。出租车司机因系安全带而仅受了一点伤，幸免于难。 The taxi’s airbag had also deployed, absorbing much of the impact. However, Harry, who is in the back seat, hadn’t put on his seatbelt. As a result, he was severely injured and had to be rush to a hospital. Had he put on his seatbelt, he might not have been injured so badly. Now a month later Harry still can’t remember much of what happened. When he first woke up in the hospital it was several hours after the accident and he was sure where he was. The bad news was that he couldn’t move his legs. This was because his back had been broken in the accident. The doctors later told him that he might never regain the use of his legs. Some of the nerves in his spain and legs had been damaged but everything else was OK. He couldn’t move his legs because his back had been broken in the accident. 出租车的安全气囊也展开了，吸收了大部分冲击力。然而，坐在后座的哈利没有系上安全带。结果，他受了重伤，不得不赶往医院。如果他系上安全带，他可能不会伤得那么重。一个月后，哈利仍然记不起发生了什么事。当他第一次在医院醒来时，已经是事故发生后的几个小时了，他很确定自己在哪里。坏消息是他的腿动不了。这是因为他的背在事故中折断了。医生后来告诉他，他可能再也不能恢复双腿的功能了。他的西班牙和腿上的一些神经已经受损，但其他一切都没问题。他不能移动他的腿，因为他的背在事故中折断了。 Now Harry is trying to figure out what to do.
