Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate (失业率) increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point: Work is helpful to our health. Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Research shows that people feel not only unhappy but also worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work sometimes means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment (充实感). Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words. From the above we can know that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life. 1．Who can live longer, hard-working people or idle people? 2．What does the writer want to tell us in the first paragraph? 3．How do people feel when they don’t have anything to do? 4．What do you think hard work can bring us? (Write 30 words or more) Chris is not a traditional explorer—he usually works in an office for a large organization. Yet his job can sometimes be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer. Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders (国界). MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster. Chris is a doctor from France who has traveled to many places to organize programs that help people. At the moment, there are over 27, 000 trained medical staff taking part in MSF projects and tasks. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999, All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should expect difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in tropical (热带的) diseases are especially useful because most of MSF’S work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task, he has to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency task following a disaster, such as an earthquake. But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and a good salary to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience you gain is a great help in your career. Besides, just like the explorers of the past, you need to keep an open mind and learn to mix well with the people you meet. Most importantly, at the end of each task, you have made a real difference to people’s lives. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．Does Chris work for a large organization? 2．When does MSF send trained doctors all over the world to help people? 3．How many medical staff are taking part in MSF projects and tasks? 4．What kind of doctors are greatly needed in Africa? 5．What does Chris think of his work?

(自拟一句作答) “Every worker coming to Beijing has their own reasons. No one lives here without a dream,” said Chen, a 37-year-old food deliveryman（送餐员）from a small city. Chen dreamed of having his own business in Beijing when he left senior high school. But his father asked him to take his place as a truck driver in the oil field. Although Chen disliked the job, he didn’t want to let his father down. He took the job as a truck driver. Then he got married and had a son. “I got quite good pay, but life was boring during those years,” said Chen. Chen decided to give up his job and come to Beijing. His wife agreed that he should go for his dreams. Chen has been a food deliveryman for a month. He works 15 hours a day and hardly has time for lunch at noon. Chen spends only 10 yuan on each meal to cut the cost of living in Beijing. “I want to give a better life to my wife and little son,” he said. “I must work harder and try to become the best food deliveryman in my field.” Chen likes his job because he can meet many people. Every “thank you” from a customer is like praise for his work. Chen plans to start his own restaurant in the future, so he always writes down what food people have ordered. In this way, he gets a better understanding of people’s tastes. 1．How old is Chen? 2．What does Chen do after he came to Beijing? 3．Who supported（支持）his decision? 4．How long does Chen work in Beijing every day? 5．Why does Chen want to get a better understanding of people’s tastes? Unit 2单元话题 Chinese people like the red colour a lot. Even now, Chinese people like to refer to ourselves as Chizi, meaning the red descendant (子孙). Red represents the motherland and authority. Official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty were red. In the Qing Dynasty, red was used on official caps to show different rankings. As we know, the Five-starred Red Flag was first raised on October 1st, 1949. Even nowadays, headlines of official documents (官方文件) are painted red. This is why they are called red-head documents. For ordinary people, red stands for happiness. For example, the word “double happiness” used for weddings is red. The bride (新娘) wears red clothes which are different from the white gowns of the west. During the Chinese Spring Festival, people will give red packets with money inside to the children as good wishes. Couplets (对联) hanging on both sides of the doors are written in red. The word red equals prettiness. The expression “hongyan” meaning red colour is a synonym of a beautiful girl. Red is also one of the most popular words used in the names of Chinese women. But in traffic lights red means stop driving. This is how the westerners like to use the red colour. It is because red is very bright, and is good for warning purposes. But it doesn’t really have any negative meanings. 1．What does Chizi mean? 2．Why are official documents called red-head documents? 3．What colour do you like best besides (除了) red? Why?

Red—Happiness, Success and Good Fortune(命运) Red represents fire and is the most popular color in China. It stands for happiness, beauty, vitality(活力), good luck, success and good fortune. Red is popular with Chinese people and it is widely used during festivals and important events like weddings. Red things are common in our everyday life. We can see red lanterns, red paper cuttings and so on. People wear red clothes during weddings, festivals and other celebratory events. Red envelopes(信封) are stuffed(塞) with money and given as gifts during Chinese New Year. Yellow—Royalty(王权) and Power of the Throne(君主) In Chinese culture, yellow stands for royalty and is usually used for the emperor. The first Emperor of China was known as Yellow Emperor. China was often referred to as “Yellow Earth”, and its mother river is Yellow River. Green—Money and wealth Green is a color which has many meanings such as wealth, hope and growth.

My son Jack is 15 years old. I find that the older he grows, the less we talk. He refuses to communicate with me. I feel very sad and I really need help. My first problem is about his hobby. He spends almost all his spare time on computer games. When he gets home, he always turns on the computer and closes the door. I’m getting worried about him, especially when his English teacher tells me he always gets low marks in the English exams. Second, he is crazy about electronic products (电子产品), but I don’t have enough money and I can’t afford all the things he wants. Yesterday, he asked me for a new iPhone, but I refused. We then had an argument. Recently, I’ve found that he is always alone. I’ve never seen him talking to his friends on the phone or going out with anyone on weekends. He seems to have few friends. This is really abnormal for a teenager. I don’t know what to do now. Sometimes I can only cry alone. I need your help. Can you talk with him? Yours, May 1．Who writes the letter? 2．How old is Jack? 3．What’s Jack’s hobby? 4．What did Jack ask his mother for yesterday? 5．Does Jack always talk to his friends on the phone? 阅读下文并回答问题。 Are you on social media? How old were you when you started using it? Australia is making a new law. After it passes, people will have to be above a certain age to use social media. It is not known what the age will be, but it will most likely be between 14 and 16, said Reuters on Sept 10. The new law will start by the end of the year. “We want them to have real experiences with real people because we know that social media is causing social problems,” said Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. He has a point. In a study on 20,000 Australian students in the 10th grade, many felt social media made them less happy. In another study, around 60 percent of parents thought social media was bad for children’s mental health (心理健康), reported The Guardian. However, experts have doubts about the law. Lisa Given, a professor at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, wrote in The Conversation that many European countries tried this before but failed. This is because social media is an important way for teenagers to get information. It also helps them share their thoughts. So it is not right to take this away from them. On the technical (技术的) side, the law will also be difficult to carry out, said the regulator (监管机构) for online safety in the country. For example, many apps now ask users their age. But users can simply lie and put in an earlier date. What’s more, the law may push teenagers to hide their online activities, or even use apps that are unsafe or badly managed. 1．Will the new law start by the end of the year in Australia? 2．Who is Anthony Albanese? 3．According to The Guardian, what did the parents think of the social media? 4．Do you agree with Lisa Given? What do you think of the new law in Australia? QUESTION Dear Dale, I’ve been a crazy soccer fan since I was 9. I love soccer games, but my parents are angry with me about my hobbies, although they like watching soccer games too. Should I give up my hobbies? Yours, Mike Wang ANSWER Dear Mike, When we grow up, our parents set examples for us to follow if we want to be good people. However, they’re still allowed to do things that we’re not, even if we don’t agree. It may seem like that’s unfair (不公平), but as we all know, being a teenager usually isn’t fair. At the moment, you’re a high school student who is already 15, so it’s understandable for your parents to be mad as you pay more attention to your hobbies than school work. Not all of us have time to do whatever we like, whenever we like— even as adults. Your parents just want you to be the best student you can. However, maybe you could talk and come to an agreement. For example, perhaps you could watch a soccer game with your parents once a week, after all your homework is done. That way, you could enjoy your hobby and be a good student at the same time. Life is all about compromise (妥协), as you’ll soon learn. While it’s great to have hobbies and interests, we still have to work hard and be responsible (有责任) before we can enjoy them. Once you’re an adult and get a job, you’ll find out that hobbies are only a small part of life-most of it is about working hard. At the same time, however, you’ll soon see how watching your favorite team is even more fun after you’ve worked extra hard for it. Yours, Dale 1．Until now, how long has Mike been a crazy soccer fan? 2．According to Dale, how can teenagers grow up to be good people? 3．According to Dale, why are Mike’s parents mad with him? 4．What advice does Dale give to Mike to solve his problem? 5．What do you think comes first, being responsible or enjoying hobbies?

Unit 3单元话题 Dear Dr. Lin, I’m really helpless recently. My son Jack is 15 years old. I find that the older he grows, the less we talk. He refuses to communicate with me. I feel very sad and I really need help. My first problem is about his hobby. He spends almost all his spare time on computer games.

We then had an argument. Recently, I’ve found that he is always alone. I’ve never seen him talking to his friends on the phone or going out with anyone on weekends. He seems to have few friends.

How old were you when you started using it? Australia is making a new law. After it passes, people will have to be above a certain age to use social media. It is not known what the age will be, but it will most likely be between 14 and 16, said Reuters on Sept 10. The new law will start by the end of the year. “We want them to have real experiences with real people because we know that social media is causing social problems,” said Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. He has a point. In a study on 20,000 Australian students in the 10th grade, many felt social media made them less happy. In another study, around 60 percent of parents thought social media was bad for children’s mental health (心理健康), reported The Guardian. However, experts have doubts about the law. Lisa Given, a professor at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, wrote in The Conversation that many European countries tried this before but failed. This is because social media is an important way for teenagers to get information. It also helps them share their thoughts. So it is not right to take this away from them. On the technical (技术的) side, the law will also be difficult to carry out, said the regulator (监管机构) for online safety in the country. For example, many apps now ask users their age. But users can simply lie and put in an earlier date. What’s more, the law may push teenagers to hide their online activities, or even use apps that are unsafe or badly managed. 1．Will the new law start by the end of the year in Australia? 2．Who is Anthony Albanese? 3．According to The Guardian, what did the parents think of the social media? 4．Do you agree with Lisa Given? What do you think of the new law in Australia? 【答案】1．Yes, it will. 2．He is the Australian Prime Minister. 3．They thought it was bad for children’s mental health. 4．Yes, I agree with Lisa Given. Social media is an important way for teenagers to get information and share ideas. Instead of limiting its use, we should teach them how to use it safely. (开放性试题，答案合理即可) 【导语】本文讨论了澳大利亚计划通过一项新法律，规定使用社交媒体的年龄限制的议题，以及不同观点对这一政策的看法。 1．根据文中“The new law will start by the end of the year”可知这项新法律将要在年底之前实施。故填Yes, it will. 2．根据文中“said Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese”可知此人为澳大利亚总理。故填He is the Australian Prime Minister. 3．根据文中“around 60 percent of parents thought social media was bad for children’s mental health”可知大多数家长认为社交媒体对孩子的心理健康不好。故填They thought it was bad for children’s mental health. 4．此题为开放题，可表达个人观点并结合文中内容说明理由。故填Yes, I agree with Lisa Given. Social media is an important way for teenagers to get information and share ideas. Instead of limiting its use, we should teach them how to use it safely. QUESTION Dear Dale, I’ve been a crazy soccer fan since I was 9. I love soccer games, but my parents are angry with me about my hobbies, although they like watching soccer games too. Should I give up my hobbies? Yours, Mike Wang ANSWER Dear Mike, When we grow up, our parents set examples for us to follow if we want to be good people. However, they’re still allowed to do things that we’re not, even if we don’t agree. It may seem like that’s unfair (不公平), but as we all know, being a teenager usually isn’t fair. At the moment, you’re a high school student who is already 15, so it’s understandable for your parents to be mad as you pay more attention to your hobbies than school work. Not all of us have time to do whatever we like, whenever we like— even as adults. Your parents just want you to be the best student you can. However, maybe you could talk and come to an agreement. For example, perhaps you could watch a soccer game with your parents once a week, after all your homework is done. That way, you could enjoy your hobby and be a good student at the same time. Life is all about compromise (妥协), as you’ll soon learn. While it’s great to have hobbies and interests, we still have to work hard and be responsible (有责任) before we can enjoy them. Once you’re an adult and get a job, you’ll find out that hobbies are only a small part of life-most of it is about working hard. At the same time, however, you’ll soon see how watching your favorite team is even more fun after you’ve worked extra hard for it. Yours, Dale 1．Until now, how long has Mike been a crazy soccer fan? 2．According to Dale, how can teenagers grow up to be good people? 3．According to Dale, why are Mike’s parents mad with him? 4．What advice does Dale give to Mike to solve his problem? 5．What do you think comes first, being responsible or enjoying hobbies? Why? 【答案】1．For 6 years. 2．By following examples their parents set for them. 3．Because he pays more attention to his hobbies than school work. 4．He could talk and come to an agreement with parents. 5．Being responsible comes first because hobbies are just one part of life. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，是Dale写给Mike的一封信，主要介绍的是：面对父母对自己业余爱好的看法，Mike可以怎么想，怎么做。 1．根据“I’ve been a crazy soccer fan since I was 9.”和“At the moment, you’re a high school student who is already 15.”可知，到现在为止，Mike成为一个足球迷已经6年了。故填For 6 years. 2．根据“When we grow up, our parents set examples for us to follow if we want to be good people.”可知，当我们长大后，父母会给我们树立榜样，让我们做一个好人，所以，青少年成长为一个好人是通过父母树立榜样。故填By following examples their parents set for them. 3．根据“At the moment, you’re a high school student who is already 15, so it’s understandable for your parents to be mad as you pay more attention to your hobbies than school work. ”可知，父母生气是因为Mike更关注自己的爱好而不是学业。故填Because he pays more attention to his hobbies than school work. 4．根据“However, maybe you could talk and come to an agreement.”可知，Dale建议Mike可以和父母谈谈并达成协议。故填He could talk and come to an agreement with parents. 5．根据“While it’s great to have hobbies and interests, we still …part of life-most of it is about working hard.”可知，有爱好和兴趣是很好的，但我们仍然必须努力工作并负责才能享受它们。一旦长大成人，找到工作，就会发现爱好只是生活的一小部分，大部分都是关于努力工作的，所以，我认为，负责任是第一位的，因为爱好只是生活的一部分。故填Being responsible comes first because hobbies are just one part of life. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
