2026-2027学年上学期初中英语人教版（新教材）九年级上册（Unit 1-Unit 5）

My grandma always tells me stories about her childhood life. She often says life today is totally different from what it was sixty years ago. I can feel the great changes of the world from her words and my own life experience.

When Grandma was a little girl, her family was very poor. There was no electric (电动的) fan or TV in her house. In hot summer, she could only cool herself with a hand fan. The roads in her village were muddy (泥泞的). When it rained, walking outside became really hard. People mainly went out on foot or by old bike. It took hours to get to the nearest town.

Now everything has changed. My hometown has wide and clean roads. Buses and electric bikes are everywhere. Many families even have private cars. We have air-conditioners (空调) to keep cool in summer and warm in winter. We can watch TV, surf the Internet and talk with friends far away online every day.

Grandma says these amazing changes come with the development of our society. We no longer worry about food and clothes, and we have more chances to learn and travel. I feel lucky to live in such a great era (时代). I will study hard to make our life better in the future.

 A journey of self-discovery

As a young child, I believed that being popular was the most important thing. I thought having many friends and getting noticed mattered a lot. But when I became a teenager, my thoughts started to change.

I realised that trying to be popular was stressful. I was trying to act like someone I was not. The friends I had were not true friends. They liked me because I was popular, not because we truly cared about each other. I

often felt lonely, even when I was surrounded by people. It was hard to keep acting. I felt like I wasn’t myself.

One day, my teacher said something. It stayed with me for a long time. “Being kind, learning, growing and having real friends is more important than being popular.” Her words made me think deeply about what really matters in life.

I started to focus on my studies and personal growth instead of trying to be liked by everyone. I built stronger friendships. They were built on respect and understanding, not on popularity. These friendships made me feel supported and valued.

Changing my view didn’t happen overnight, and it wasn’t easy. But as I grow, I see that popularity doesn’t define (界定) who I am. What truly matters is being kind, staying true to yourself, learning and having real friends. Now, I focus on becoming a better version (版本) of myself every day. Life is more meaningful when you live it honestly. I’m still learning and growing, and I’m excited to see what’s next.

Would you like to improve your memory? To start with, it is important to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term memory and long-term memory. Short-term memory helps you remember things you need for a short time, like phone numbers. Long-term memory can keep things for days, years, or even a lifetime. How do you make sure what you learn enters your long-term memory? First, pay attention and take notes of key points. Second, use it or lose it: the more you review, the more likely you will

remember it, but do not wear out your brain. A third way is to use your senses. Last but not least, keep healthy, because sleep, healthy food and exercise all boost your memory.

What can we do to be a great student? Read the following five traits (特征) all great students have.They ask questions.

Most teachers want students to ask questions when they do not understand what has been taught. It is truly the only way a teacher knows whether students really understand something. Good students aren’t afraid to ask questions because they know that if they do not understand what the teacher said, it may have a bad effect on their study.They’re problem solvers.

Problem-solving is an important skill that schools have to work on developing. Those students who do have true problem-solving abilities are able to face different challenges.They work hard.

The perfect student isn’t necessarily the smartest one. The hard-working students will finally be the most successful in life. Being a hard-working student means completing homework on time, putting effort into schoolwork, realising weaknesses and looking for ways to improve.They seize opportunities (抓住机会).

In our country, every child has free public education. Unluckily, not everyone makes full use of that. It is true that every child must go to school for some time, but that doesn’t mean that every student seizes that opportunity and tries hard. However, the best students make full use of the opportunities.They can be trusted.

No one wants to get on with people whom they cannot trust. Good students take opportunities seriously to
