J. K. Rowling’s stories are world-famous, and part of their success is because of the friendship between those three main characters. But there are many examples of great friends in literature (文学). Let’s look at some more in the book sharing activity today. In 1844, French writer Alexandre Dumas wrote The Three Musketeers (《三剑客》). The story is about a young man. He goes to Paris to join the musketeers. He meets the other three greatest musketeers in France. They become friends and have many adventures (冒险) together. They often say “one for all and all for one”, and this shows their strong friendship. The Lord of the Rings (1954-1955) by J. R. R. Tolkien is a fantastic storybook about Frodo, who gets a ring from his uncle. Frodo lives in the Shire and has a friend, Sam. When Frodo leaves the Shire on a long journey with the ring, Sam goes with him. Sam’s friendship is very important to Frodo. When he faces danger, Sam is always there to help him. Another book is My Brilliant Friend (2011) by Elena Ferrante. Elena and Lila are friends at school, but they have a lot of arguments (争吵). As they get older, something happens and brings them together again. 1．Who is the writer of Harry Potter? 2．What does “one for all and all for one” show in The Three Musketeers? 3．Why is Sam’s friendship very important to Frodo? 4．Is My Brilliant Friend the newest book in today’s book-sharing activity? 5．Which of these books would you like to read most?

R. R. Tolkien”、“My Brilliant Friend (2011) ” 可知，《我的天才女友》是最新的，故填 Yes, it is. 5．开放性问题，答案不唯一。参考答案：I would like to read The Three Musketeers the most.

Choosing Friends Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends with the same interests. But that doesn’t mean you have to be like each other. It’s OK if you enjoy some of the same things. Making Friends ●The quickest way to make friends is to smile. Remember that most people hate an angry face. ●One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice. For example, you could talk about a great answer to a teacher’s question and so on. ● Ask your new friends questions about themselves. “Who’s your favourite singer? Where do you live? What do you do after school?” are all good questions. Having Activities Together It’s always fun to play your favourite activities with your friends together. For example, inviting a friend to your house is a great way to make your friendship closer. Make sure the activities can be done together. You may both love playing computer games, but if one person is playing and the other has nothing to do but watch, that will be boring. Friendship is an important part in our life, for friends make us happy and support us through hard times. If you are still waiting for your “friends”, start with the tips above. 1．What kind of friends do most people want to have? 2．What is the quickest way to make friends? 3．How many ways of making friends are mentioned in the passage? 4．How can you make the friendship between you and your friend closer? 5．Why is friendship an important part in our life? 【答案】1．They want to have friends with the same interests. 2．The quickest way to make friends is to smile. 3．Three./3. 4．Inviting a friend to my house. 5．Because friends make us happy and support us through hard times. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何拥有好朋友。 1．根据“Most people like to have friends with the same interests.”可知，大多数人喜欢有相同兴趣的朋友。故填They want to have friends with the same interests. 2．根据“The quickest way to make friends is to smile.”可知，交朋友的最快方法是微笑。故填The quickest way to make friends is to smile. 3．根据“Making Friends”、“The quickest way to make friends is to smile.”、“One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice.”和“Ask your new friends questions about themselves.”可知，文章中提到了3种交朋友的方法。故填Three./3. 4．根据“inviting a friend to your house is a great way to make your friendship closer”可知，邀请朋友到家做客是拉近友谊的好方法。故填Inviting a friend to my house. 5．根据“Friendship is an important part in our life, for friends make us happy and support us through hard times.”可知，友谊是我们生活中重要的一部分，因为朋友让我们快乐，支持我们度过困难时期。故填Because friends make us happy and support us through hard times. Read the passage and answer the questions. A lot of people want others to be their friends. At the same time, some people don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you have to be a friend. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest, be generous, be understanding. Honesty is necessary and it’s also the first step to start the good friendship. Friends must trust each other. If you don’t tell the truth, people will usually find it out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust To be generous, you have to learn how to share things you enjoy. You needn’t share your money or favourite clothes. You can share your ideas and feelings. By chatting about the ideas and feelings, you can make your friend know you well. Everyone needs understanding when they meet problems. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem with the friend can make it easier. Understanding each other can be a good way of solving the problem. To be a friend, you must learn to listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place, and then you can under- stand the problem better. 1．Why doesn’t some friendship last very long? 2．What’s the first step to start the good friendship? 3．How can you make your friend know you well? 4．What can be a good way to solve the problem? 5．What else can you do to keep the good friendship except the rules in the passage? 【答案】1．Because some people don’t give friendship back. 2．Honesty. 3．By chatting about the ideas and feelings. 4．Understanding each other. 5．We can help each other. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了三种建立友谊的规则。 1．根据“At the same time, some people don’t give friendship back.

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter (笑声) Clubs around the world. Many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing — it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world. Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%. So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class. To be honest, I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects. Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes, everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results! 根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 1．Where was the first Laughter Club started? 2．How many Laughter Clubs are there in the world today? 3．How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class? 4．When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real? 5．According to the passage, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, can they? 【答案】1．The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India. 2．There are over 1,300 Laughter Clubs in the world today. 3．The writer felt nervous at the beginning of the class. 4．The people in the club began to laugh for real after ten minutes. 5．No, they can’t. 【导语】本文介绍了“欢笑俱乐部”这一概念以及其对人们生活和健康的影响。 1．根据“The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria.”可知，第一个欢笑俱乐部由Madan Kataria博士在印度孟买创立。故填The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India. 2．根据“There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world.”可知，全世界有1300多家欢笑俱乐部。故填There are over 1,300 Laughter Clubs in the world today. 3．根据“I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class.”可知，开始上课时，作者感到紧张。故填The writer felt nervous at the beginning of the class. 4．根据“After ten minutes, everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop!”可知，十分钟后，俱乐部里的人真的笑了起来。故填The people in the club began to laugh for real after ten minutes. 5．根据“However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter”可知，我们的身体无法分辨假笑和真笑。故填No, they can’t.

It’s a good idea to listen to CDs and try to imitate other speakers to make your pronunciation better. If you see a new word, and you don’t know what it means, you can sometimes guess the meaning from words you know, or you can look up the word in a dictionary. A lot of good language learners try not to translate things from their first language. Translation is sometimes a good idea, but try to think in the foreign language if you can! It’s also normal to make mistakes. When your teacher corrects a mistake in your writing or speaking, think about it and try to see why it’s wrong. But it’s more important to communicate, so don’t be afraid to speak! 1．If you want to make your pronunciation better, what could you do? 2．What can you do when you meet a new word? 3．Do those good language learners always try to translate things from their first language? 4．What should you do when your teacher corrects your mistakes? 5．Please share two more suggestions for the foreign language learners. 【答案】1．Listen to CDs and try to imitate other speakers. 2．Guess the meaning from words I know, or I can look up the word in a dictionary. 3．No, they don’t. 4．Think about it and try to see why it’s wrong. 5．Watch some foreign movies and try to speak foreign languages with friends. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何学习外语。 1．根据“It’s a good idea to listen to CDs and try to imitate other speakers to make your pronunciation better.”可知，如果想要改善发音，可以听激光唱片并努力模仿其他说话人。故填Listen to CDs and try to imitate other speakers。 2．根据“If you see a new word, and you don’t know what it means, you can sometimes guess the meaning from words you know, or you can look up the word in a dictionary.”可知，如果你遇到新单词，可通过已知词汇猜测词义或查字典。故填Guess the meaning from words I know, or I can look up the word in a dictionary. 3．根据“A lot of good language learners try not to translate things from their first language.”可知，优秀学习者尽量不依赖母语翻译。故此处应作否定回答。故填No, they don’t. 4．根据“When your teacher corrects a mistake in your writing or speaking, think about it and try to see why it’s wrong.”可知，当老师纠正错误时，我应该仔细想想，看看为什么是错的。故填Think about it and try to see why it’s wrong. 5．开放性试题，言之有理且无语法错误即可。故填Watch some foreign movies and try to speak foreign languages with friends.   阅读表达 Studying in groups is helpful to our study. It becomes popular in class and has many good sides. For example, we can not only save time but also encourage each other when we study in groups. I still remember when I was in Grade 8, my physics was very poor. I had a really hard time with it. Once in class, the teacher asked us to discuss questions with each other. Because I was very shy, I could not do that. My physics teacher encouraged me to face others and talk with someone else. Then I studied with some classmates together. When I did not understand any questions, they could give me some suggestions and I could quickly find out the ways to deal with the problems. After that I felt very relaxed and asked my classmates a lot of questions about physics. Finally, I finished my homework by myself for the first time. How excited I was! Because of studying in groups, I am not worried about physics learning any more. With my classmates’ help, I get more confidence (自信). It also gives me more chances to improve myself in many ways. So let’s study more in groups. 1．How was the writer’s physics when he was in Grade 8? 2．Could the writer discuss questions with others at first? Why? 3．What did the writer’s physics teacher encourage him to do in class? 4．Do you like studying in groups? Why or why not? 【答案】1．His physics was very poor. 2．No, he couldn’t. Because he was very shy. 3．Face others and talk with someone else. 4．Yes. Because it can give me more chances to improve myself in many ways.

J. K. Rowling’s stories are world-famous, and part of their success is because of the friendship between those three main characters. But there are many examples of great friends in literature (文学). Let’s look at some more in the book sharing activity today. In 1844, French writer Alexandre Dumas wrote The Three Musketeers (《三剑客》). The story is about a young man. He goes to Paris to join the musketeers. He meets the other three greatest musketeers in France. They become friends and have many adventures (冒险) together. They often say “one for all and all for one”, and this shows their strong friendship. The Lord of the Rings (1954-1955) by J. R. R. Tolkien is a fantastic storybook about Frodo, who gets a ring from his uncle. Frodo lives in the Shire and has a friend, Sam. When Frodo leaves the Shire on a long journey with the ring, Sam goes with him. Sam’s friendship is very important to Frodo. When he faces danger, Sam is always there to help him. Another book is My Brilliant Friend (2011) by Elena Ferrante. Elena and Lila are friends at school, but they have a lot of arguments (争吵). As they get older, something happens and brings them together again. 1．Who is the writer of Harry Potter? 2．What does “one for all and all for one” show in The Three Musketeers? 3．Why is Sam’s friendship very important to Frodo? 4．Is My Brilliant Friend the newest book in today’s book-sharing activity? 5．Which of these books would you like to read most? Why? How to have good friends? Here are some tips for you. Choosing Friends Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends with the same interests. But that doesn’t mean you have to be like each other. It’s OK if you enjoy some of the same things. Making Friends ●The quickest way to make friends is to smile. Remember that most people hate an angry face. ●One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice. For example, you could talk about a great answer to a teacher’s question and so on. ● Ask your new friends questions about themselves. “Who’s your favourite singer? Where do you live? What do you do after school?” are all good questions. Having Activities Together It’s always fun to play your favourite activities with your friends together. For example, inviting a friend to your house is a great way to make your friendship closer. Make sure the activities can be done together. You may both love playing computer games, but if one person is playing and the other has nothing to do but watch, that will be boring. Friendship is an important part in our life, for friends make us happy and support us through hard times. If you are still waiting for your “friends”, start with the tips above. 1．What kind of friends do most people want to have? 2．What is the quickest way to make friends? 3．How many ways of making friends are mentioned in the passage? 4．How can you make the friendship between you and your friend closer? 5．Why is friendship an important part in our life? Read the passage and answer the questions. A lot of people want others to be their friends. At the same time, some people don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you have to be a friend. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest, be generous, be understanding. Honesty is necessary and it’s also the first step to start the good friendship. Friends must trust each other. If you don’t tell the truth, people will usually find it out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust To be generous, you have to learn how to share things you enjoy. You needn’t share your money or favourite clothes. You can share your ideas and feelings. By chatting about the ideas and feelings, you can make your friend know you well. Everyone needs understanding when they meet problems. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem with the friend can make it easier. Understanding each other can be a good way of solving the problem. To be a friend, you must learn to listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place, and then you can under- stand the problem better. 1．Why doesn’t some friendship last very long? 2．What’s the first step to start the good friendship? 3．How can you make your friend know you well? 4．What can be a good way to solve the problem? 5．What else can you do to keep the good friendship except the rules in the passage?

They saw how the space shuttle (航天飞机) took off in space and later landed on the earth again. It was very exciting and the children felt that they were traveling in space themselves! After the movie, Mr. Brown took them to see some models of rockets (火箭) and the space shuttles. The models looked very real, but they were smaller. The children also saw some moon stones. Two Americans landed on the moon in 1969. They put an American flag there. Then they took some stones back to the earth. Before the children left, they watched a video show about people living and working in a space lab. The space lab was very big. There were kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and a big workshop for people to work in. The people could stay in the space lab for months. 1．Where did Mr. Brown’s students go last week? 2．How was the movie? 3．What did the children do after the movie? 4．What did the two American astronauts (宇航员) bring back to the earth? 5．How long could people stay in the space lab? Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter (笑声) Clubs around the world. Many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing — it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world. Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%. So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class. To be honest, I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects. Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes, everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results! 根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 1．Where was the first Laughter Club started? 2．How many Laughter Clubs are there in the world today? 3．How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class? 4．When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real? 5．According to the passage, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, can they? Unit 3单元话题 Advice for language learners It can sometimes be a little difficult to learn a foreign language well. But there are many things you can do to make your learning more successful. When you speak a foreign language, it’s normal to have an accent. That’s OK, other people can usually understand. It’s a good idea to listen to CDs and try to imitate other speakers to make your pronunciation better. If you see a new word, and you don’t know what it means, you can sometimes guess the meaning from words you know, or you can look up the word in a dictionary. A lot of good language learners try not to translate things from their first language. Translation is sometimes a good idea, but try to think in the foreign language if you can! It’s also normal to make mistakes. When your teacher corrects a mistake in your writing or speaking, think about it and try to see why it’s wrong. But it’s more important to communicate, so don’t be afraid to speak! 1．If you want to make your pronunciation better, what could you do? 2．What can you do when you meet a new word? 3．Do those good language learners always try to translate things from their first language? 4．What should you do when your teacher corrects your mistakes? 5．Please share two more suggestions for the foreign language learners. 阅读表达 Studying in groups is helpful to our study. It becomes popular in class and has many good sides. For example, we can not only save time but also encourage each other when we study in groups. I still remember when I was in Grade 8, my physics was very poor. I had a really hard time with it. Once in class, the teacher asked us to discuss questions with each other. Because I was very shy, I could not do that. My physics teacher encouraged me to face others and talk with someone else. Then I studied with some classmates together. When I did not understand any questions, they could give me some suggestions and I could quickly find out the ways to deal with the problems. After that I felt very relaxed and asked my classmates a lot of questions about physics. Finally, I finished my homework by myself for the first time. How excited I was! Because of studying in groups, I am not worried about physics learning any more. With my classmates’ help, I get more confidence (自信). It also gives me more chances to improve myself in many ways. So let’s study more in groups. 1．How was the writer’s physics when he was in Grade 8? 2．Could the writer discuss questions with others at first? Why? 3．What did the writer’s physics teacher encourage him to do in class? 4．Do you like studying in groups? Why or why not? Lisa is from London and is now working at a university. She shared her story of learning Chinese. Three years ago, I started working at the University of Leeds. After moving to a new city, I was looking for things to do which can help me to make some new friends. I noticed that a community school was offering Chinese evening classes. Without much thought, I signed up for a Chinese class. There was one lesson a week, each lasting 90 minutes. Mr. Kong, the teacher, was full of energy. For each class, he would teach us hundreds of new words. After each lesson, I felt it too difficult to continue. Luckily, after a few months, I got used to this. Between classes, I would try to review what I had learned until I understood it. Gradually (逐渐地), I began to realise that the more work I put into Chinese study, the more interesting I found it. To make further progress, I planned to find a Chinese student to help me with my Chinese. The University of Leeds had more than 600 Chinese students. So it was not difficult to find one. Soon I met my new Chinese friend, Li Hua. She helped me practice my spoken Chinese and go over everything I had learned in class. Finally, I made it. Although there are so many words and idioms (习语) in Chinese, I am confident (自信) to get over any difficulty and become good at Chinese. 1．Why did Lisa learn Chinese? 2．What did Lisa think of her Chinese classes at the beginning? 3．How did Lisa make further progress in Chinese study? 4．What does Lisa think of her Chinese study now? 5．What lesson can we learn from the passage? Use an English saying to express. Unit 4单元话题 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 What is DIY? Why do many people like it? Yang Chen works in Beijing.
