He was wearing jeans and a very smart jacket, and was smoking a cigarette.What should he do? Six pairs of eyes looked at Lin, while the man looked out of the window.Sir, youre sitting in my seat, Lin said, with a nervous smile. The other people watched with interest.The man didnt turn to look at Lin, but just looked out of the window.Excuse me. I have a ticket with the number of the seat youre sitting in!

Where is that? asked Lin.Hangzhou.Lin thought Hangzhou was far away.Its seven hours away from here, the man with glasses said.

Ive been at Park School, London since I was 11. If I pass my exams next year, Ill stay here until Im 18.Park School is a secondary school, about 20 minutes by bike away from home. Before I came here, I went to primary school, near my home. I started primary school when I was five and stayed there for six years.The schoolday is from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. We spend the first 10 minutes in our classroom while our teacher checks which pupils are present or absent. Then everyone goes to the main hall. There our head teacher makes a speech and tells us any news about the school. Lessons begin at 9:05 and last for an hour. We have a break at 11:05 until 11:20, then another lesson, then lunch for an hour. We have two more lessons before school finishes.This year I have 11 subjects: maths, biology, chemistry, French, history, geography, music and IT, PHSE, ADT and PE (these stand for Information Technology; Personal Health and Safety Education; Art, Design and Technology and Physical Education). Fortunately, we dont have exams in every subject. PHSE is about the dangers of drugs and smoking, among other things. In ADT we also do things like learning to cook as well as drawing and design. Some people can do Italian and Spanish instead of French, but no one is learning Chinese . yet! PE involves physical exercise, basketball, training in the gym and swimmingwere really lucky to have a swimming pool.I took exams when I was 7, 10, and 14 years old. Next year I take my exams in eight subjects, and then I can do between three and five subjects for the exams in my final year.We have a large sports ground where we play football, tennis and do athletics both during and after school hours. After-school activities, such as sports clubs and language societies are popular, too. During the school year there are usually visits to museums and galleries, and to camps for activities, such as climbing and cycling in the country. There are parties and discos and a sports day, and the school play is a really important event. Once a term, there is a parents meeting, so our parents and teachers can talk about our progress.Whats the best thing about school? English, history, music . and my friends. Whats the worst thing? Homework . and exams!Module 3 Unit 1Listen and read.Bettys mum:Its getting late, Betty.Betty:Nearly finished! Im doing a composition: Is life today better or worse than it was 50 years ago?Bettys mum:And what do you think?Betty:I think its better. The most important difference is that people are healthier today, and they live longer than they did in the past.Bettys mum:Thats true. The advantage is that we know more about medicine today. Were better at preventing illness. But people dont eat as well as in the past, and dont take as much exercise as they did.Betty:I suppose thats because public transport is much better today.Bettys mum:Yes, I agree. People walk or use their bikes less, and theyre lazier. Faster transport also makes more pollution. And that makes life more dangerous and less healthy.Betty:What about work? People dont have to work as hard as they worked 50 years ago.Bettys mum:Yes, but no one ever says they have too much free time! I also think schoolchildren today work harder than we ever did.Betty:Yes, but I really want to do my best.Bettys mum:Why dont you ask Mrs Li downstairs? Shes seen how life has changed.Betty:Thats a good idea. Talking of free time, dont forget Im going on the school trip next month, and the theatre visit.Bettys mum:Good! Youll be more relaxed and less nervous before your exams.Module 3 Unit 2Read this sentence from the passage.

Do you choose something fashionable . or comfortable? Do you like to look different? Or do you wear the same clothes as your friends? Do you go for this years colours? Is it the logothe company symbolthat catches your attention? Or maybe film stars are wearing these clothes? What helps you choose the clothes you like?2.Everyone spends money on clothes, and everyone has their personal look. The best-known clothing companies sell their designer clothes all over the world. But the number of these big name companies is in fact very small, and the clothes they make are more expensive than the clothes made by less well-known companies. Many people even prefer them to cheaper clothes. Why?3.Many young people today care about the way they look. They often buy designer clothes because they think they look cool. Then the less well-known companies make clothes which look the same. But they dont sell as well because they dont have the logo.4.People also think designer clothes are better made. For example, many people think the right running shoes will make you run faster or play better. Of course, this is not always true. Its the trainingnot the trainersthat improves your speed or your score. But thats not the point. People believe that its true . and then buy the shoes. The big companies only want to make a lot of money.5.Above all, designer clothes are more popular because of clever advertising. All of the international companies spend millions of dollars every year to make us buy their clothes. And they succeed!6.Most people dress in a way that shows off their personality. But if some of us buy expensive clothes just to look cool, what does that say about us? Maybe its just clever advertising.7.So next weekend, think about the clothes you put on. Whats the logo on your trainers? Who made your jeans? And how many of your friends wear the same clothes as you do? And then think that maybe some of us could spend our money better.Module 5 Unit 1Listen and read.Mr Jackson:OK, listen up! Before we can enjoy ourselves on the Great Wall, there are a few rules and suggestions. OK?All:Yes, Mr Jackson.Mr Jackson:First, you must keep to the path. You mustnt walk along the edge because you might fall and hurt yourself. Is that clear?All:Yes.Mr Jackson:And you have to keep together. You mustnt go off on your own, because you might get lost.All:No, Mr Jackson.Daming:Can we have something to eat now? Im starving!Mr Jackson:No, you cant, Daming! You only had breakfast an hour ago. I think we should start walking, and then stop at noon for our picnic. But you shouldnt drink all the water, because you may need some later.Betty:Can we go rock climbing?Mr Jackson:Yes, you can, but you must use ropes. You have to think about personal safety! And you must have the right shoes. OK, I think thats all. Lets go down this path, and then we can cross the stream and climb up to the top of that mountain. Then we can take a look across the countryside .Daming:. and have lunch?Mr Jackson:. and then walk along that part of the wall, up there. Come on! Ill lead the way.Daming:I feel tired already. I may need a rest very soon.Module 5 Unit 2Look at the picture and answer the questions.1. What do you think the bear is doing? 2. What do you think the people in the tent should do?%Read the passage and answer the questions.1. What were the three people doing in Yellowstone Park? 2. How much do they know about bears? 3. Where do you think is the best place to keep food safe from bears? 4. What was the noise behind the writer? 5. Do you think their stay in the park was a success?Watch Out! Bears About!On our first evening, the three of us were tired after walking for about eight hours. We soon fell asleep.In the middle of the night, there was a strange noise outside. But when I looked out of the tent, there was nothing to see.In the morning, I got up to make breakfast. The bag of food was open.Bears, said Joe. We should hang the food in a tree tonight.Later that day we stopped in a beautiful valley by a stream. It was very peaceful, and we fell asleep listening to the sound of water.During the night the bears came back. This time they took the food from the tree.How did they do that? I asked.Not high enough. Bears can climb trees. They can smell food from a distance. We should pick up the rubbish, too.The first rule of camping is to keep a clean camp site. You cant leave anything which bears might think is food.OK, lets tidy the site up, and move on. Oh, and we should make lots of noise, too. If they know where we are, they may not come any closer, said Joe.If you see a bear, said Joe, you mustnt move or make any gesture. And above all, you mustnt run. No one can run faster in the forest than a bear.We went to sleep . or we tried to.The next day we stopped at midday for something to eat, and while the others were resting, I went for a walk in the forest.Suddenly, I saw a baby bear playing with some sticks and stones. He looked so friendly, and I remember thinking, If I reach out, I can just touch him.There was a loud noise behind me.I stood very still. I didnt even turn my head. There was another loud noise, and I still couldnt see what was happening. The baby bear looked up, and ran past me into the woods.I stayed in the same position for five minutes, maybe more. Then slowly I turned round, and on the hillside about 300 metres away I saw the baby bear and his huge mother.I have never run so fast, back to my friends.For the next 10 days, every time there was a sudden noise, my blood went cold.Module 6 Unit 1Listen and answer the questions.
