1、八年级下课文八年级下、Module 1 Unit 1 Do you collect anything? Lingling: Hi Sally! Come in and sit down. Sorry its a bit untidy. Ill didy up the table and chairs. Sally: Hey! Look at all those fans! Theyre beautiful! Youve got a wonderful collection. Lingling: Yes. Ive got fifty or sixty fans. Do you collect a
2、nything? Sally: Yes. I have a collection of dolls. And my brother collects stamps. Daming: And I collect tickets you know, bus tickets and train tickets! Sally: Do you really? But my real hobby is music. I play the violin and I listen to music all the time. Lingling: What made you so interested in m
3、usic? Sally: My father is a musician. I often listened to him play the violin. And he gave me my first violin eight years ago. Lingling: And now music has brought you to China. When will you play next time? Sally: At the end of this term. Theres a concert at Radio Beijing. Daming: So can you relax n
4、ow? Sally: Well, no. Im going to school with you! Lingling: Great! Sally: But not next Friday. Daming: Whats happening on Friday? Sally: Im going to Radio Beijing. Im giving an interview on Starsearch! Daming: Ive listened to that programme! People sing songs or play music, and the listeners choose
5、the best singer or musician. Lingling: Wow!Youre going to be really famous! Unit 2 Hobbies can make you grow as a person. Many students have hobbies, such as reading, painting, growing vegetables in their gardens, and looking after animals. Some hobbies are relaxing and others are creative. Hobbies
6、can make you grow as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills. David Smith is a student, and his hobby is writing. During the summer of 2000, he spent four weeks on a summer camp. As well as the usual activities, such as sailing, climbing and mountain biking, there was a writin
7、g workshop with a professional writer. She asked us to imagine that we were in a story. Then we wrote about our experiences at the camp. In senior high school David wrote a story about teenage life, and it came out as a book in 2003. Many teenagers love his book, and as a result, David has become a
8、successful young writer. David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him enjoyment and success, but he is also interested in many other things. I like playing volleyball, too, says David. I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe Ill write more books in th
9、e future, but Im not sure. Its sometimes difficult to remember that we shouldnt spend all our time on our favorite hobby. There are many other interesting things to do in life, and we should try to do something (new or different). Module 2 Unit 1 Can you tell me where youre from? Chen Huan: Do you k
10、now if Sally Maxwell has arrived? Receptionist: Thats Miss Maxwell. Chen Huan: Hi, are you Sally? Sally: Yes, thats right. This is my friend Lingling, I asked you secretary whether she could come or not. Chen Huan: Oh, yes. Hi Lingling. OK, Im going to ask you some personal questions, and record you
11、r answers. OK, here goes Sally, welcome to China! Sally: Thank you. Chen Huan: Can you tell me where you are from? Sally: Yes, Im from London. Im here with some classmates. In fact, Im studying Chinese. Chen Huan: And Ive heard that you play in your school orchestra. Sally: Yes, our last public conc
12、ert will be here on Starsearch in a couple of months. But I dont know who will come. Chen Huan: Can I ask you if you miss the UK, or your relations? Sally: Yes, I miss my parents, but I have some close friends here. Chen Huan: I know that foreigners find China very different from their own countries
13、. What does it feel like? Sally: Its a very exciting place. But I dont like the word foreigner. My visit here is all about making friends. Chen Huan: OK, Sally, thank you. And good luck with the concert (They stop.)That are great! So this recording will be part of the programme. By the way, why dont
14、 you bring all your friends for a visit to Radio Beijing? Maybe sometimes next week? Lingling & Sally: OK, thanks!Unit 2 No one knew who I was When I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile. It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school
15、 was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone. Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldnt talk to anyone about my problem, and I didnt want my parents to worry about me. Then one day, my
16、classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didnt know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, without a word, smiled. Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It
17、 made me feel happy, lively and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now. One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldnt remember s
18、miling at me! It doesnt matter because all the dark days have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is, if you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back. Module 3 Unit 1 Remember to look out for the red light! Chen Huan: Hi, every
19、body. Sally: Wed like to thank you for taking us around Radio Beijing. Chen Huan: Dont mention it. I enjoy showing visitors around. Now, I want to answer your questions, but remember to look out for the red light Betty: and stop talking! Chen Huan: Come this way. This is the news room. We collect th
20、e latest news and write the reports here. Lingling: How can I become a newsreader? Chen Huan: On Radio Beijing everyone needs to speak English well. So keep studying, and maybe one day you can join us. Heres where I work on Starsearch. We decide what to listen to and who to see. Daming: What about t
21、he sports news? I like listening to the football results. Chen Huan: Thats over there. Tony:Id like to be a sports reporter. Daming:Me, too! Chen Huan: And this is where we prepare the weather reports. Lets watch the newsreader. OK, see the red light? Quiet, please. Newsreader: Finally, some sports
22、news about the England and China football match. England scored two goals, and China three. Daming: Hey! We won the match! Tony: And we lost! I hate losing! All: Ssh! Newsreader: And tomorrows weather sunny in the morning, but itll start raining in the afternoon. And thats the end of the six oclock
23、news.Unit 2 I Remember sitting close to the radio. Radio Times “How old are you?” the radio studio manager at WXBN looked down at me. “Fifteen.” I said. “And you want a job in radio? Shouldnt you be at school?” he asked. How could I explain? Ive always loved the radio. When I was about four or five
24、years old, I remember sitting close to the radio in the living room, listening to my favourite programmes, and to the voices of my favourite presenters. It seemed that they were speaking to me in person. At the age of nine, I asked for jobs in small radio stations. As I grew older, my interest in ra
25、dio grew. One day I learnt about internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my fathers computer to the listeners, talked about life at school, and then closed down and did my homework. Soon my friends at junior high school started to listen, and then they wanted to help. We prepar
26、ed the weekly programmes, articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report (I did this by looking out of the window). “OK, come with me,” the WXBN manager said. I sat down in the studio, in front of a microphone. He was in another room, behind the glass wall. “OK. Lets do a sound chec
27、k. Just tell me what you had for breakfast.” All radio presenters begin work with the same question. “I had eggs, fruit and some milk.” “OK, thats great!” the man behind the glass said. And this was how my first real job in radio began. Module 4 Unit 1 If you want to record, press the red button (Ir
28、ish music, with a violin) Lingling: Thats lovely! Whos playing? Sally: Thats us! Chen Huan wants a recording for his programme, and he lent me his CD recorder. The orchestra was practising some Irish music yesterday, so I recorded it. Tony: How does it work? Daming: Lets look at the instruction. “If
29、 you want to turn on the recorder, press the blue button. If you want to play back, press the green button. (The same Irish music) Daming: Youve done that. Tony: and if you want to record, press the red button. If the red light doesnt come on, wait for thirty second. OK, lets try. Daming: Is it work
30、ing? (Playback: Is it working?) Tony: Yes, it is. “If you want to send your recording by email, connect the recorder to your computer. If theres no green light, choose the copy symbol.” Lingling: And are you playing the violin? Sally: No, thats my best friend Kylie. She plays really well. Lingling:
31、But why do you want to send Chen Huan a recording of Kylie playing? Sally: Well, shes my friend, and its important for her. Lingling: But its important for you, too. Sally. Betty: I think Chen Huan wants to hear you on Starsearch, not Kylie. Come on, Sally, Wheres your violin? Tony, press “record”!
32、Tony: OK! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our star musician Sally Maxwell! All: Hooray!Unit 2 If a snake bites you, take a photo Smile, please! If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It may save your life. This is the surprising advice of a British cook. One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from the table, and suddenly
