High above the city stood the Happy Prince’s statue (雕像), covered in gold leaves, with sapphire eyes and a ruby on his sword. He was admired by all, but once night fell, he wept at the misery (苦难) he saw below. A little swallow, on its way to Egypt, decided to rest at his feet.
The Prince begged the swallow to help a poor woman whose sick son cried for oranges. Though eager to leave for warm Egypt, the swallow took the ruby from the Prince’s sword to the woman. Feeling warm after the good deed, he stayed. Next, he gave one of the Prince’s sapphire eyes to a hungry young writer, then the other to a freezing match girl.
Now blind, the Prince asked the swallow to take his gold leaves and give them to the poor. The swallow did so, even as winter came and he grew weak. He refused to leave the Prince, who had become dull and grey without his gold. Finally, the swallow died at the Prince’s feet, and the Prince’s leaden heart broke in two.
The Mayor had the shabby statue melted, but the broken heart wouldn’t melt and was thrown with the swallow. That night, an angel took both to God. “They were the city’s most precious things,” God said. He let the swallow sing in paradise and the Prince live in the golden city.

The sun went down over the ocean slowly, and the waves seemed to swallow it whole. Cadence shaded her eyes from the bright light and lifted her beach bag over her shoulder—until a soft “Help me!” rang out along the shore.
She shouted back, but only the wide, empty beach and moving waves answered. The faint voice led her to run to Rocky Cove, her bare feet hitting the wet sand. She bent under a mossy rock ledge and caught her breath: a girl in a dress made of seaweed (decorated with pearls and shells) was sitting on a rocky island, her silver hair messy, her eyes the deepest blue.
“I’m Cadence. Are you okay?” The girl, named Sorcha, said she was stuck—she had lost her home. “Maybe I can help,” Cadence said, her throat stinging from the salty sea spray.
Sorcha told her about a magical underwater kingdom (where merpeople lived) that had been lost in a wild storm. For weeks, they searched the shore for clues, facing challenges and meeting ocean animals. Led by Sorcha’s strong inner feeling, they discovered an old cave that was a hidden door.

单元U2主题 语言与交流
Passage 1
Can you speak more than one language? Being able to communicate with people in another language is a great way to make friends and feel more confident.
Language is the way we communicate with each other. It includes speaking, writing and using hand and face movements, known as sign language. Unlike countries, languages have no borders (边界) and can connect people around the world.
Speaking another language helps you talk to people you may not understand, and makes you feel more connected to them. A girl from Hungary, Havana, who is aged 12, says speaking Hungarian as well as English means she can talk to her friends from England. This makes her feel closer to her British friends because they’re able to share their interests. Learning another language can also help you gain confidence—for example, by being able to chat to local people when you travel. Studies show that being able to speak two languages also exercises the brain and makes you better at concentrating on more than one thing at a time.
Alex Rawlings is a language teacher and writer who speaks more than 15 languages. He finds it’s easier to learn words that he can see or hear, rather than from a list. “For example, the words of a song are more memorable because they rhyme (押韵) and are sung,” he says. It’s also important to understand why you learn a language. Rawlings suggests writing down reasons why you want to learn the language and keep reminding your-self of them. “I’ve met lots of friends through my languages,” says Rawlings. “The more you learn, the easier it gets.”
1.According to the writer, is it a great way to make friends by communicating with them in their language?
2.What is the difference between countries and languages?
3.What makes Havana feel closer to her friends from England?
4.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
5.Who is Alex Rawlings?
6.Do you agree with the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? Why or why not?

Thousands of years ago, Tegumai and his daughter Taffy lived in a cave. One day, they went fishing by the river, but Tegumai’s spear (矛) broke. Taffy wanted to get her father’s spare spear from home but was too young to go alone. “If we could send a message...” she sighed, since no one knew how to write.
Just then, a stranger from another tribe passed by. Taffy got an idea: she drew a picture on the birch bark (白桦树皮), showing the cave, the broken spear, and the spare one. She handed it to the stranger, hoping he would give it to her mom. The stranger didn’t understand her words but nodded and left.
When Taffy’s mom saw the picture, she panicked (恐慌). The messy drawing looked like the stranger was attacking Tegumai with spears! She called the tribe, who grabbed the stranger and marched to the river to take revenge (复仇). They were shocked to find Tegumai fixing his spear and Taffy playing safely.
Taffy explained the drawing, “It was a request for the spare spear, not a warning.” Everyone laughed and apologized to the stranger. Tegumai patted Taffy’s head, “People can easily misunderstand pictures. We need clearer ways to communicate!” Taffy looked at the drawing and said, “ ________”.

Queen Elara was captured (俘虏) by the Lion Fairy and locked in an underground cave. One day, she saved a frog from a crow. To her surprise, the frog could speak! “Your kindness saved me,” he said. “My magic hat lets me communicate with all creatures. I’ll help you send a message to your husband, King Theo.”
The frog sneaked out (悄悄溜走) and traveled for years to find the king. When he reached the palace, the king was about to marry another. The frog spoke clearly, “King Theo, Queen Elara is alive and needs you!” His sincere words made the king believe him. The king followed the frog, but a poisonous lake blocked their way.

Years later, the king and queen had a daughter, Muffette. When she was to marry Prince Leo, the dragon returned, “I want Muffette as my meal!” The king refused, but Muffette said gently, “You kept your promise, dragon. Can we talk about this?” Her polite words made the dragon pause.
Just then, the frog arrived with the prince. He said to the dragon, “You helped out of kindness before. Surely you don’t want to hurt an innocent (无辜的) princess.” The dragon’s heart softened. He agreed to spare Muffette. As they walked back, Muffette turned to the frog and said, “ ________”

Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成任务。)
Saying “sorry” is a powerful part of communication. Sometimes we hurt others by accident—maybe we ignore their words or act thoughtlessly. Admitting our mistakes and apologizing can fix misunderstandings, but finding the right words isn’t always easy. It takes courage to say we’re wrong! There are many heartfelt ways to apologize. You can write a sincere note, give a small meaningful gift, or simply speak from your heart. Phrases like “I’m sorry if I upset you” or “Thank you for listening—I didn’t mean to be rude” show you care. A genuine apology isn’t just words; it’s showing you understand how the other person feels.
Why is apologizing so important for good communication? It helps heal hurt feelings and strengthens relationships. When we say sorry honestly, we tell others we value them more than being “right”. Even if it’s hard to speak up, apologizing makes both people feel better in the end. It’s a key skill for getting along with friends and family.
Last week, Mia argued with her best friend Lila because she wasn’t listening during their chat. Lila felt sad and stopped talking to her. After thinking for a day, Mia decided to apologize. She wrote a card saying how sorry she was and asked Lila to forgive her. When Lila read the card, she smiled. Mia realized that good communication isn’t just talking—it’s also knowing when to say sorry. Next time she has a misunderstanding with someone, ________
Task 1: Answer the questions.
1.Why isn’t it always easy to apologize?
2.What are two ways to apologize mentioned in the passage?
3.Does a genuine apology only include words?
4.Why did Lila stop talking to Mia?
5.What is the passage mainly about?

6.Based on Mia’s experience, write down what she plans to do next and her reason. Write sentences in about 20 words.

Orpheus was an extraordinary person who played the lyre (a small harp) like no one else. His music was so beautiful that birds would gather to listen, and even the wind seemed to pause. He fell deeply in love with Eurydice, a classmate who adored (爱慕) his songs. They spent happy afternoons together, with Orpheus playing melodies just for her.
Tragedy struck when Eurydice was bitten by a poisonous snake in the woods near their school. Orpheus was heartbroken. He stopped playing music entirely. His lyre grew dusty, and his days felt empty without her. He knew he had to try to bring her back, so he decided to go to the Underworld (the land of the dead) with his lyre.

One moonlit night after a dance, Donal heard soft violin music from the forest. Curious, he followed it and found a glade where elves danced clumsily to an elf’s playing. Donal laughed out loud, making the elves angry. The Fairy Queen appeared and asked why he laughed. “Your music is lovely, but their dancing is odd,” he said politely.

George was a seventh-grader who detested music class more than anything. Every time the bell rang, he’d drag his feet to the music room, slam his textbook on the desk, and glower at Mr. Harris, the music teacher. He found scales and singing boring, and Mr. Harris’s constant reminders to “sit up straight”or “hit the right note”made him furious. “Music is just noise for losers!”he’d grumble to his deskmate after class, crumpling his music sheet into a ball.
One Friday, George stayed late to fix his broken bike near the auditorium. Suddenly, a roaring guitar riff cut through the air. Curiosity got the better of him—he peeked through the door and froze.

Pretty Face, a girl from the Lenape tribe, used to care only about her looks. “No one here is good enough for me!” she often boasted. Her parents worried, but she never listened. One day, a handsome stranger named Amankamek visited the village. He praised Pretty Face’s beauty and asked her to leave with him.
Pretty Face’s parents warned her not to trust the stranger, but she was too captivated. She followed Amankamek to the river, where he walked into the water. Curious, she dived in and found they could breathe underwater. Amankamek led her to a stone village—his true home. Suddenly, he turned into a huge serpent!

单元U2主题 语言与交流
Passage 1
Can you speak more than one language? Being able to communicate with people in another language is a great way to make friends and feel more confident.
Language is the way we communicate with each other. It includes speaking, writing and using hand and face movements, known as sign language. Unlike countries, languages have no borders (边界) and can connect people around the world.
Speaking another language helps you talk to people you may not understand, and makes you feel more connected to them. A girl from Hungary, Havana, who is aged 12, says speaking Hungarian as well as English means she can talk to her friends from England. This makes her feel closer to her British friends because they’re able to share their interests. Learning another language can also help you gain confidence—for example, by being able to chat to local people when you travel. Studies show that being able to speak two languages also exercises the brain and makes you better at concentrating on more than one thing at a time.
Alex Rawlings is a language teacher and writer who speaks more than 15 languages. He finds it’s easier to learn words that he can see or hear, rather than from a list. “For example, the words of a song are more memorable because they rhyme (押韵) and are sung,” he says. It’s also important to understand why you learn a language. Rawlings suggests writing down reasons why you want to learn the language and keep reminding your-self of them. “I’ve met lots of friends through my languages,” says Rawlings. “The more you learn, the easier it gets.”
1.According to the writer, is it a great way to make friends by communicating with them in their language?
2.What is the difference between countries and languages?
3.What makes Havana feel closer to her friends from England?
4.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
5.Who is Alex Rawlings?
6.Do you agree with the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? Why or why not?
【答案】1.Yes, it is. 2.Unlike countries, languages have no borders and can connect people around the world. 3.Speaking both Hungarian and English allows her to communicate with her English friends and share their interests. 4.The benefits/ Good points of speaking another language. 5.Alex Rawlings/ He is a language teacher and writer (who speaks more than 15 languages). 6.Yes. Because if we understand why we learn a language, we can have the power/ motivation to try our best to learn it.
【导语】本文主要探讨了学习多种语言的好处。文章指出,掌握另一种语言不仅能帮助我们结交朋友、增强自信,还能拉近人与人之间的距离、锻炼大脑并提升专注力。同时,通过语言教师Alex Rawlings的例子,介绍了高效学习语言的方法(如通过歌曲记单词、明确学习动机等),强调了语言学习带来的积极影响。
1.第一段“Being able to communicate with people in another language is a great way to make friends and feel more confident.”说明作者认为用另一种语言与人交流是结交朋友的好方法。
2.第二段“Unlike countries, languages have no borders and can connect people around the world.”说明国家有边界,而语言没有边界,可以连接世界各地的人们。
3.第三段“speaking Hungarian as well as English means she can talk to her friends from England. This makes her feel closer to her British friends because they’re able to share their interests.”说明能同时说匈牙利语和英语使她能够与英国朋友交流并分享彼此的爱好,让她感觉更亲近。
4.第三段主要讲述了说另一种语言的好处:结交朋友、增进亲密感、获得自信、锻炼大脑、提高专注力。
5.第四段“Alex Rawlings is a language teacher and writer who speaks more than 15 languages.”说明Alex Rawlings是一位会说超过15种语言的语言教师兼作家。

Passage 2
Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成任务。)
Thousands of years ago, Tegumai and his daughter Taffy lived in a cave. One day, they went fishing by the river, but Tegumai’s spear (矛) broke. Taffy wanted to get her father’s spare spear from home but was too young to go alone. “If we could send a message...” she sighed, since no one knew how to write.
Just then, a stranger from another tribe passed by. Taffy got an idea: she drew a picture on the birch bark (白桦树皮), showing the cave, the broken spear, and the spare one. She handed it to the stranger, hoping he would give it to her mom. The stranger didn’t understand her words but nodded and left.
When Taffy’s mom saw the picture, she panicked (恐慌). The messy drawing looked like the stranger was attacking Tegumai with spears! She called the tribe, who grabbed the stranger and marched to the river to take revenge (复仇). They were shocked to find Tegumai fixing his spear and Taffy playing safely.
Taffy explained the drawing, “It was a request for the spare spear, not a warning.” Everyone laughed and apologized to the stranger. Tegumai patted Taffy’s head, “People can easily misunderstand pictures. We need clearer ways to communicate!” Taffy looked at the drawing and said, “ ________”.

1.首段明确提到“Taffy wanted to get her father’s spare spear from home but was too young to go alone. ‘If we could send a message...’”,表明因为父亲矛断了,自己太小不能独自回家拿备用矛,所以要传信。答案是对原文直接信息的整合。

Passage 4
Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成任务。)
Saying “sorry” is a powerful part of communication. Sometimes we hurt others by accident—maybe we ignore their words or act thoughtlessly. Admitting our mistakes and apologizing can fix misunderstandings, but finding the right words isn’t always easy. It takes courage to say we’re wrong! There are many heartfelt ways to apologize. You can write a sincere note, give a small meaningful gift, or simply speak from your heart. Phrases like “I’m sorry if I upset you” or “Thank you for listening—I didn’t mean to be rude” show you care. A genuine apology isn’t just words; it’s showing you understand how the other person feels.
Why is apologizing so important for good communication? It helps heal hurt feelings and strengthens relationships. When we say sorry honestly, we tell others we value them more than being “right”. Even if it’s hard to speak up, apologizing makes both people feel better in the end. It’s a key skill for getting along with friends and family.
Last week, Mia argued with her best friend Lila because she wasn’t listening during their chat. Lila felt sad and stopped talking to her. After thinking for a day, Mia decided to apologize. She wrote a card saying how sorry she was and asked Lila to forgive her. When Lila read the card, she smiled. Mia realized that good communication isn’t just talking—it’s also knowing when to say sorry. Next time she has a misunderstanding with someone, ________

1.Why isn’t it always easy to apologize?

5.What is the passage mainly about?
Task 2:
6.Based on Mia’s experience, write down what she plans to do next and her reason. Write sentences in about 20 words.
【答案】1.Because finding the right words to apologize takes courage. 2.Writing a sincere note and giving a small meaningful gift. 3.No, it also means showing you understand the other person’s feelings. 4.Because Mia wasn’t listening during their chat and made her feel sad. 5.It’s mainly about the importance of saying sorry in communication and how to apologize. 6.Mia will listen attentively and apologize promptly whenever misunderstandings occur, because she understands sincere words can rebuild trust and friendship.
【导语】本文主要介绍了道歉在沟通中的重要性,包括道歉不易的原因、道歉的方式、真诚道歉的内涵,还通过 Mia 的经历进一步说明道歉对修复关系的作用,最后引导思考如何更好地运用道歉进行沟通。
1.文中提到“Admitting our mistakes and apologizing can fix misunderstandings, but finding the right words isn’t always easy. It takes courage to say we’re wrong!”,说明找到合适的道歉话语需要勇气,所以道歉并不总是容易,答案从原文直接提取关键信息得出。
2.文中明确表述“There are many heartfelt ways to apologize. You can write a sincere note, give a small meaningful gift, or simply speak from your heart.”,直接提取其中两种道歉方式即可。
3.文中指出“A genuine apology isn’t just words; it’s showing you understand how the other person feels.”,表明真诚的道歉不只是言语,还要表现出理解对方的感受,据此回答。
4.根据“Last week, Mia argued with her best friend Lila because she wasn’t listening during their chat. Lila felt sad and stopped talking to her.”可知,是因为 Mia 在聊天时不听,让 Lila 伤心,所以 Lila 不和她说话,答案从原文提取关键信息整合。
5.文章开篇点明说“sorry”是沟通中重要的一部分,接着阐述道歉不易、道歉方式、真诚道歉的内涵,又通过 Mia 的事例说明道歉对修复关系的重要性,最后引导思考如何更好运用道歉沟通,整体围绕道歉在沟通中的重要性以及如何道歉展开,据此总结。

One moonlit night after a dance, Donal heard soft violin music from the forest. Curious, he followed it and found a glade where elves danced clumsily to an elf’s playing. Donal laughed out loud, making the elves angry. The Fairy Queen appeared and asked why he laughed. “Your music is lovely, but their dancing is odd,” he said politely.
“Then teach us your dances,” the queen said. Donal taught them jigs and reels patiently. The elves had great fun, and the queen was grateful. “Take this,” she said, handing him the violin. Donal thanked her and practiced every spare moment, even though he played poorly at first.

George was a seventh-grader who detested music class more than anything. Every time the bell rang, he’d drag his feet to the music room, slam his textbook on the desk, and glower at Mr. Harris, the music teacher. He found scales and singing boring, and Mr. Harris’s constant reminders to “sit up straight”or “hit the right note”made him furious. “Music is just noise for losers!”he’d grumble to his deskmate after class, crumpling his music sheet into a ball.
One Friday, George stayed late to fix his broken bike near the auditorium. Suddenly, a roaring guitar riff cut through the air. Curiosity got the better of him—he peeked through the door and froze. There was Mr. Harris on stage, hair slightly messy, playing a red guitar and singing rock songs. His fingers danced on the strings, and his voice boomed with passion.
