Developing ideas Impossible →I’m possible 1 “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'." Audrey Hepburn, the British actress and star of the silver screen, said this. However, doubts and fears often hold us back. How can we face them and succeed? 2 The runner Su Bingtian gives an excellent answer to this question. The young man began his sporting life in 2006. At that time, no one from Asia had ever run the 100 m race in less than 10 seconds. Su trained hard and quickly became one of the fastest runners in Asia. In 2011, he ran the race in 10.16 seconds. 3 However, Su wasn't satisfied. To run in under 10 seconds, in 2014, he changed his starting leg. This was a very risky decision. He had to start from zero. At first, he was slower than before. Also, he was 25 years old. At such an age, many runners choose to stop running. People doubted his decision. However, Su fought his fears and became a sporting hero. 4 In 2015, he clocked 9.99 seconds and made history. In 2021, he finished in 9.83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics. He also became the first Chinese athlete to run in the Olympic 100 m final. 5 Su Bingtian has told youngsters, “Never let your age hold you back. Have a try and try harder. I believe you can write your own story." Nothing is impossible as long as you try and stick to it. Everyone can be a Su-perman! 不可能→我可能 1 “没有什么是不可能的，这个词本身就说‘我有可能’。”英国女演员、银幕明星奥黛丽·赫本说。然而，怀疑和恐惧往往阻碍我们前进。我们如何面对它们并取得成功？ 2赛跑选手苏炳天对这个问题回答得很好。这位年轻人于2006年开始了他的体育生涯。当时，亚洲没有人能在10秒内跑完100米。苏刻苦训练，很快成为亚洲跑得最快的运动员之一。2011年，他以10.16秒的成绩完成了比赛。 3 然而，苏并不满意。为了在10秒内跑完比赛，2014年，他改变了起跑腿。这是一个非常危险的决定。他必须从零开始。起初，他比以前慢了。此外，他当时25岁。在这样的年龄，许多跑步者选择停止跑步。人们怀疑他的决定。然而，苏克服了恐惧，成为了一名体育英雄。 4 2015年，他以9.99秒的成绩创造了历史。2021年，他在东京奥运会上以9.83秒的成绩完赛。他也成为第一位参加奥运会100米决赛的中国运动员。 5 苏炳天曾对年轻人说：“不要让年龄阻碍你。要努力，再努力。我相信你能写出自己的故事。”只要你努力坚持，没有什么是不可能的。每个人都可以成为超人！ ❸ Complete the timeline with the words and expressions from the passage. 2006 He 1 his sporting life.

In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word for “clock” is the same as the sound for “death” in Chinese. Also, don’t wrap (包) a present in white, black, or blue paper because these are the colors for funerals (葬礼). Don’t give a knife because something sharp (锋利的) can cut a friendship. In Russia if we give flowers as a present, we have to give odd numbers of them (one, three, five, etc) because even numbers of flowers (two, four, six, etc) are for funerals. In Germany a flower is a good present to give to your dinner hostess, but don’t give her red roses because they mean you are in love with her. Don’t take thirteen of anything because it’s an unlucky number. Don’t take an even number of anything either. Don’t wrap your present in white, brown, or black paper. 1.We can’t give a clock as a present to a Chinese because in Chinese the word “clock” ______.

I always wore a hat instead of showing my hair. Although my friends said it suited me, I didn’t believe them. Last month, a new teacher praised my hair and said it was full of energy. I was surprised but happy. Since then, I have realised that being different is a gift. Now I take off my hat and feel confident. My short hair reminds me to embrace who I am. $$ 专题02 Unit 1 This is me （Developing ideas） ( 单词学习 ) ( 1 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1.literature /ˈlitərətʃə/ n. 文学 2.search /səːtʃ/ n. 搜寻 3.value /ˈvæljɪu/ n. 价值 4.wizard /ˈwɪzəd/ n. 男巫 5.friendship /ˈfrendʃɪp/ n. 友谊 6.basic /ˈbeɪsɪk/ adj. 基础的 7.message /ˈmesɪdʒ/ n. 主题思想 8.setting /ˈsetɪŋ/ n. 背景 9.realise /ˈrɪəlaiːz/ v. 明白 10.impossible /ɪmˈpɜsəbəl/ adj. 不可能的 11.nothing /ˈnʌθɪŋ/ pron. 无物 12.British /ˈbrɪtʃ/ adj. 英国的 13.silver /ˈsɪlvə/ adj. 银制的 14.silver screen n. 电影业 15.doubt /daʊt/ n. 怀疑 16.fear /fiə/ n. 恐惧 17.succeed /səkˈsiːd/ v. 成功 18.excellent /ˈeksələnt/ adj. 极好的 19.second /ˈsekənd/ n. 秒 20.satisfy /ˈsætsəfaɪ/ v. 使满意 21.risky /ˈrɪskl/ adj. 有风险的 22.zero /ˈzɪərəʊ/ num. 零 23.Olympics /əʊˈlɪmpɪks/ n. 奥运会 24.athlete /ˈæθliːt/ n. 运动员 ( 课文解析 ) （Listening and speaking） Do you know any books of this kind?

Developing ideas Impossible →I’m possible 1 “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'." Audrey Hepburn, the British actress and star of the silver screen, said this. However, doubts and fears often hold us back. How can we face them and succeed? 2 The runner Su Bingtian gives an excellent answer to this question. The young man began his sporting life in 2006. At that time, no one from Asia had ever run the 100 m race in less than 10 seconds. Su trained hard and quickly became one of the fastest runners in Asia. In 2011, he ran the race in 10.16 seconds. 3 However, Su wasn't satisfied. To run in under 10 seconds, in 2014, he changed his starting leg. This was a very risky decision. He had to start from zero. At first, he was slower than before. Also, he was 25 years old. At such an age, many runners choose to stop running. People doubted his decision. However, Su fought his fears and became a sporting hero. 4 In 2015, he clocked 9.99 seconds and made history. In 2021, he finished in 9.83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics. He also became the first Chinese athlete to run in the Olympic 100 m final. 5 Su Bingtian has told youngsters, “Never let your age hold you back. Have a try and try harder. I believe you can write your own story." Nothing is impossible as long as you try and stick to it. Everyone can be a Su-perman! 不可能→我可能 1 “没有什么是不可能的，这个词本身就说‘我有可能’。”英国女演员、银幕明星奥黛丽·赫本说。然而，怀疑和恐惧往往阻碍我们前进。我们如何面对它们并取得成功？ 2赛跑选手苏炳天对这个问题回答得很好。这位年轻人于2006年开始了他的体育生涯。当时，亚洲没有人能在10秒内跑完100米。苏刻苦训练，很快成为亚洲跑得最快的运动员之一。2011年，他以10.16秒的成绩完成了比赛。 3 然而，苏并不满意。为了在10秒内跑完比赛，2014年，他改变了起跑腿。这是一个非常危险的决定。他必须从零开始。起初，他比以前慢了。此外，他当时25岁。在这样的年龄，许多跑步者选择停止跑步。人们怀疑他的决定。然而，苏克服了恐惧，成为了一名体育英雄。 4 2015年，他以9.99秒的成绩创造了历史。2021年，他在东京奥运会上以9.83秒的成绩完赛。他也成为第一位参加奥运会100米决赛的中国运动员。 5 苏炳天曾对年轻人说：“不要让年龄阻碍你。要努力，再努力。我相信你能写出自己的故事。”只要你努力坚持，没有什么是不可能的。每个人都可以成为超人！ ❸ Complete the timeline with the words and expressions from the passage. 2006 He 1 his sporting life. At this time, no one from Asia had ever run the 100 m race in less than 2 . 2011 He ran the 100 m race in 3 . 2014 He changed his starting leg. He had to start 4 .

In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word for “clock” is the same as the sound for “death” in Chinese. Also, don’t wrap (包) a present in white, black, or blue paper because these are the colors for funerals (葬礼). Don’t give a knife because something sharp (锋利的) can cut a friendship. In Russia if we give flowers as a present, we have to give odd numbers of them (one, three, five, etc) because even numbers of flowers (two, four, six, etc) are for funerals. In Germany a flower is a good present to give to your dinner hostess, but don’t give her red roses because they mean you are in love with her. Don’t take thirteen of anything because it’s an unlucky number. Don’t take an even number of anything either. Don’t wrap your present in white, brown, or black paper. 1.We can’t give a clock as a present to a Chinese because in Chinese the word “clock” ______.
