Unit 1 The secrets of happiness (话题:幸福的真谛)
基础篇
Happiness is really important for every middle school student. We all hope to stay happy in our everyday life, but do you know what truly makes us feel happy? We did a survey about this question. We asked 200 middle school students in our city to talk about the things that bring them real happiness.
The survey shows that plenty of small but warm moments can make students feel glad. First, staying with family makes the largest number of students happy. When they chat with parents, have meals together or help family members with chores at home, they feel warm and peaceful. Love from family is the most important thing for their happiness.
Second, close friendship is another important reason. Students say they feel joyful when they do sports with friends, study with each other or share interesting stories after class. A true friend can turn difficult things easy and boring activities lovely.
Third, some little nice things at school also bring happiness. For example, getting a good grade on schoolwork, helping a classmate who is in trouble, or even enjoying a short relaxing break after class can make students smile happily.
From the survey, we can learn that happiness never comes from big or costly things. It hides in the warm and common things around us. Family love, true friendship and colourful school life can all raise our happiness easily. If we care about these nice little things, we can keep happy every single day.

What is happiness? Well, everyone seems to have their own answer. Today, let’s hear four students talk about happiness.
I think loving yourself is key to our happiness. Taking care of ourselves gives us the energy to do what we love, like spending time with loved ones. Love yourself, and happiness will find its way to you naturally.
For me, happiness comes from setting a goal, working hard for it, and making it. For example, my goal is to lead the school basketball team and win a game. While working towards it, I can learn a lot and make great friends. It is a truly happy time.
Sometimes, people keep wanting more and overlook what they have. However, real happiness usually comes from small and simple things. What we need to do is to enjoy these happy things.
I find that showing love to my family and friends and helping people in need bring me great happiness. When I volunteer at an old people’s home, I talk with the old people and listen to their life stories. The happy smiles on their faces always stay in my mind.

提升篇
Junk food, such as fish and chips, hamburgers, and colas, has much fat, sugar and calories (卡路里,热量), but has little nutrition (营养). Such foods are often convenient (方便的) and taste great. When teenagers come home from school, the first thing is to unwind by sitting in front of the TV and having a big bag of chips, a can of cola or other soft drinks with much sugar.
According to a study, eating too much junk food may cause health problems easily later. So stop eating junk food. The study also finds that teenagers today are more likely to eat junk food than adults. Lots of parents are busy with work and have no time to cook, so teenagers know fast food at a young age. It can be difficult for them to know the importance of eating food for nutrition. Also, ordering junk food online is very convenient, so it is easy for teenagers to live a not-so-healthy life. Once teenagers get the delicious taste of junk food, they will keep having it more often than home-made dishes.
It all starts with parents. It’s parents’ job to care more about their children’s health and help them develop healthy eating habits. It will turn into a healthy lifestyle and help them a lot in the future.

Unit 4 The art of having fun (话题:休闲娱乐、兴趣爱好)
基础篇
Spring is coming, and our school holds a colorful Spring Culture Festival every year. It has become one of the most meaningful school activities for students in Grade Seven and Grade Eight. This year’s festival lasts for three whole days, starting on April 18 and ending on April 20. Every class spends nearly two weeks preparing different shows and interesting interactive activities to make the festival wonderful and lively.
Class Seven decides to put on a short English play with simple and warm stories. The play tells the story of a group of kind middle school students who care for an old lonely grandma living next to their community. They help her clean the house, buy daily things and chat with her on weekends. All the actors and actresses practice their lines and actions carefully after school every afternoon. Their English teacher Ms. Li spends her free time guiding their pronunciation, expressions and body language, making their performance more natural and wonderful. Class Nine prepares a traditional Chinese classical dance. All the girls wear elegant Hanfu and learn slow and beautiful dance moves. They hope to show the charm of traditional Chinese culture and let more students love our traditional art.
Besides stage shows, the school sets up many interesting activity areas in the playground. Students can join rope skipping competitions, ball game challenges and handcraft making experiences. In the handcraft corner, students can make paper kites, paper flowers, clay artworks and small hand-made gifts with their own hands. All excellent works will be displayed in the school hall for teachers and students to enjoy. There is also a food sharing area. Parents volunteer to make healthy homemade snacks and traditional desserts for students to taste.
The school leader says the Spring Culture Festival is not only a good chance for students to relax from heavy study pressure, but also a good platform to show themselves. It can improve students’ teamwork spirit, enrich their after-school life and let them feel the beauty of spring and culture. All students are excited and look forward to the coming festival. They believe this special activity will leave sweet and unforgettable memories for their junior high school life.

More than 50,000,000 people live in the rainforests of the world and most of them do not hurt the forest they live in. They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down. They kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy them.
When we cut down the rainforests, we destroy these forest people, too. In 1900, there were 1,000,000 forest people in the Amazon forest. In 1980, there were only 200,000.
The Yanomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil (巴西). They have lived in the rainforest for about 10,000 years and they use more than 2,000 different plants for food and for medicine. But in 1988, someone found gold in their forest, and soon 45,000 people came to the forest and began looking for gold. They cut down the forest to make roads. They made more than one hundred airports. The Yanomami people lost their land and food. Many even lost their lives because of the new diseases from those strangers.
The Yanomami people tried to save their forest, because it was their home. But the people who wanted gold were stronger.
Many forest people try to save their forests. Chico Mendes was famous in Brazil because he wanted to keep the forest for his people. “I want the Amazon forest to help all of us — forest people, Brazil, and all the Earth,” he said. A couple of months later, in December 1988, people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Mendes.
In Borneo, Woodcutters were cutting down the forest of the Penan people to sell the wood. The Penan people tried to save their rainforest. They made blockades (障碍) across the roads into the forest. ▲ In 1987, they closed 15 roads for 8 months. No one cut down any trees during that time.
In Panama, the Kuna people saved their forest. They made a forest park which tourists pay to visit.
The Gavioes people of Brazil use the forest, but they protect it as well. They find and sell the Brazil nuts which grow on the forest trees.

Travelling is not only a way to relax ourselves but also a valuable lesson for life. As the old saying goes, “You will not know the height of the sky if you do not climb a high mountain.” Travelling gives us chances to see different views, taste local food and understand different cultures around the world.
When we travel to a new place, we can try special local food. Sichuan hot pot is one of the most famous local foods. It tastes much hotter than common dishes. At first, many visitors can’t stand the spicy taste. But surprisingly, most of them slowly fall in love with it. They find that cooking hot pot is just as fun as eating it. Visiting museums is another important part of travelling. Sanxingdui Museum has lots of ancient masks. Their eyes and ears are much bigger than normal ones, which makes many visitors curious about the ancient Shu people’s life.
Besides enjoying food and museums, talking with local people is also meaningful. Local people can tell us stories about their hometown, history and traditions. Travelling also makes us realise how small we are in the big world. It helps us open our eyes, refresh our mind and build a brave heart. However, we should follow the rule “When in China, do as the Chinese do” during the trip and respect local customs all the time.
