Chen Jie: Yeah, it sounds fun. Peter: Why don’t you perform? You play the Chinese flute better than anyone else in our music club. Chen Jie: Well, I’m afraid of performing alone. I’m not as outgoing as you. Peter: Did you work harder than me. And last week you played a really beautiful song! Chen Jie: You liked it? Maybe we could play it together! Peter: Great idea! Section A, 1c and 1d Mrs Brown: I loved your performance! You two did a wonderful job! Peter and Chen Jie: Thank you! Peter: Look, it’s time for Ella and Emma’s show! Mrs Brown: Is that Ella singing? Peter: No, that’s Emma. Emma is taller than Ella. And she sings louder than Ella. Chen Jie: Look! That is Ella dancing. Her hair is longer than Emma’s. Peter: They both dance well, but I think Ella dances better than her sister. Section A, 2a and 2c Han Lin: Congratulations on winning the prize at the school music festival! The twins: Thank you! Han Lin: You attended the festival last year and this year. How is this year different? Ella: There are more students and more activities this year. I think it is more colourful than last year. Han Lin: As twins, you look very similar. How are you different? Emma: I’m a little quieter than Ella. And she is funnier than me. Ella: Emma always gets up earlier than me. Many people say I’m lazier than Emma, but that’s not true! I work as hard as her! Han Lin: That’s really interesting. Besides singing, how do you both spend your spare time? Ella: I love playing sports more than anything. Emma: I like reading. You see, we’re different in many ways, but together, we make a great team! Han Lin: Thanks for talking with me. The twins: Our pleasure! Section B 1b Forum Tom: Some people think that friends should be alike, but some other people think that friends should be different. What do you think? Should friends be similar or different? Matt : I think a good friend is like a mirror. You can understand people by knowing their friends. My friend, Stephen, is a great example. We often hang out together because we have similar hobbies and interests. For example, we both love sports. He plays badminton better than I do, so he always wins our matches. Because of that, I try harder when I practise, and now I'm getting better at badminton. Stephen and I are similar in other ways. He is as serious as me. When we aren't playing sports, we enjoy reading together. I read more history books than he does, and he reads a lot of novels. We often share interesting books with each other. Diana: I don't agree. For me, friends who are different make me better. I think we should respect each other’s differences and learn from each other. For example, I am kind of shy,but my best friend, Yuan Lei, is outgoing. She has a great sense of humour too. Thanks to her, I am becoming more outgoing. Now I think meeting new people is really fun! I have another friend, Zhang Yong. He is not afraid to give his opinion, especially when he thinks I am making a mistake. I am less straightforward than he is, but I am glad to have an honest friend. Reading Plus Four Brothers (Adapted from Grimm's Fairy - Tale) Once upon a time, there were four brothers. "I can see farther than anyone," the first brother said. "At the top of that tree, there are five eggs in a nest." "I'm faster than all of you—I move as quickly as a cat," said the second brother. He climbed up, took the eggs quietly, and then put them back. The bird never noticed it. "I can shoot better than all of you," said the third. He then shot a leaf above the nest. The fourth brother said, "I can sew anything together, even something as soft as that leaf." In no time, the leaf was as good as new. Not long after, the king's daughter was taken away by a dragon. The king said whoever brought the princess back could marry her. The first brother said, "I see her! She is far away, on a rock at sea, with the dragon." So the brothers sailed to the rock. The third brother said, "I may hurt the princess if I shoot the dragon." "Leave it to me," said the second brother. He moved as quietly as a mouse and quickly freed the princess. Suddenly, the dragon began to chase them. The third brother shot it, but its fall broke their ship. Luckily, the fourth brother took his needle and sewed the ship together. Then they sailed home safely. The happy king asked, "Which of you will marry my daughter?" The brothers began to argue. Each brother believed that he did more than the others. Finally, the king said, "Each of you is as good as the others, but you are much stronger together. Instead, I give half of my kingdom to you as a reward." The brothers were pleased. It was much better to share than to fight. 人教英语八上单词+（听力+课文）文本+Reading Plus衡水体字帖 Unit 3 Same or Different? 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
