It

smells

delicious.

Tony:

Mm…What

a

delicious

smell!

Your

pizza

looks

so

nice.

Betty:

Thanks!

Would

you

like

to

try

some?

Tony:

Yes,

please.

It

looks

lovely,

it

smells

delicious,

and

mm,

it

tastes

good.

Daming:

What’s

that

on

top?

Betty:

Oh,

that’s

cheese.

Do

you

want

to

try

a

piece?

Daming:

Ugh!

No,

thanks.

I’m

afraid

I

don’t

like

cheese.

It

doesn’t

smell

fresh.

It

smells

too

strong

and

it

tastes

a

bit

sour.

Betty:

Well,

my

chocolate

cookies

are

done

now.

Have

a

try!

Daming:

Thanks!

They

taste

really

sweet

and

they

feel

soft

in

the

middle.

Tony:

Are

you

cooking

lots

of

different

things?

You

look

very

busy!

Betty:

Yes,

I

am!

There’s

some

pizza

and

some

cookies,

and

now

I’m

making

an

apple

pie.

Daming:

Apple

pie

sounds

nice.

I

have

a

sweet

tooth,

you

know.

Shall

I

get

the

sugar?

Betty:

Yes,

please.

Oh,

are

you

sure

that’s

sugar?

Taste

it

first.

It

might

be

salt.

Daming:

No,

it’s

OK.

It

tastes

sweet.

It’s

sugar.

Tony:

What’s

this?

It

tastes

sweet

too.

Betty:

That’s

strawberry

jam,

for

the

cake.

Daming:

Good,

everything

tastes

so

sweet!

It’s

my

Welcome

Hi

Lingling,1.

Thanks

for

your

last

message,

It

was

great

to

hear

from

you,

and

I

can’t

wait

to

meet

you.

2.

I

hope

you

will

know

me

from

my

photo

when

I

arrive

at

the

airport.

I’m

quite

tall,

with

short

fair

hair,

and

I

wear

glasses.

I’ll

wear

jeans

and

a

T-shirt

for

the

journey,

but

I’ll

also

carry

my

warm

coat.

I’ve

got

your

photo

----

you

look

very

pretty,

so

I’m

sure

we’ll

find

each

other!

3.

Thanks

for

telling

me

about

your

hobbies.

You

sound

just

like

me!

I

spend

a

lot

of

time

playing

classical

music

with

my

friends

at

school,

but

I

also

like

dance

music

–

I

love

dancing!

I

enjoy

sports

as

well,

especially

tennis.

My

brother

is

in

the

school

tennis

team

–

I’m

very

proud

of

him!

He’s

good

at

everything,

but

I’m

not.

Sometimes

I

get

bad

marks

at

school,

and

I

feel

sad.

I

should

work

harder.

4.

You

asked

me,

“How

do

you

feel

about

coming

to

China”Well,

I

often

feel

a

bit

sad

at

first

when

I

leave

my

mum

and

dad

for

a

few

days,

and

I’m

quite

shy

when

I’m

with

strangers.

I

feel

nervous

when

I

speak

Chinese,

but

I’ll

be

fine

in

a

few

days.

I’m

always

sorry

when

I

don’t

know

how

to

do

things

in

the

right

way,

so

please

help

me

when

I’m

with

you

in

China!

Oh,

I’m

afraid

of

flying.

But

I

can’t

tell

you

how

excited

I

am

about

going

to

China!

See

you

next

Tony:

Hi,

Lingling.

What

are

you

doing?

Lingling:

I’m

entering

a

competition.

Tony:

What

kind

of

competition?

Lingling:

A

speaking

competition.

Tony:

Great.

It’ll

help

you

improve

your

speaking.

And

maybe

you

will

win

a

Lingling:

The

is

“My

Tony:

Have

you

ever

won

before?

Lingling:

No,

I

haven’t.

I’ve

always

wanted

to

go

on

a

dream

holiday.

But

I

can’t

afford

it.

The

expensive.

Tony:

Well,

good

luck!

I’ve

also

entered

lots

of

speaking

competitions,

but

haven’t

won

any

I’ve

stopped

trying

now.

Lingling:

Look!

Here’s

a

writing

competition.

Around

the

World

in

80

Days.

To

win

it,

you

need

to

write

a

short

story

about

a

place

you’ve

visited.

Tony:

That

sounds

wonderful,

but

I’ve

never

travelled

a

lot.

How

can

I

write

about

it?

Lingling:

Don’t

worry.

It

doesn’t

need

to

be

true!

You

can

make

it

up.

Tony:

That’s

interesting,

I’ll

try.

I

hope

I

will

win,

then

I

will

invite

you

to

come

with

me.

Lingling:

They

have

seen

the

Pyramids.

Mike

Robinson

is

a

fifteen–year-old

American

boy

and

his

sister

Clare

is

fourteen.

At

the

moment,

Mike

and

Clare

are

in

Cairo

in

Egypt,

one

of

the

biggest

and

busiest

cites

in

Africa.

They

moved

here

with

their

parents

two

years

ago.

Their

father,

Peter,

works

for

a

very

big

company.

The

company

has

offices

in

many

countries,

and

it

has

sent

Peter

to

work

in

Germany,

France

and

China

before.

Peter

usually

stays

in

a

country

for

about

two

years.

Then

the

company

moves

him

again.

His

family

always

goes

with

him.

The

Robinsons

love

seeing

the

world.

They

have

been

to

many

interesting

places.

For

example,

in

Egypt,

they

have

seen

the

Pyramids,

travelled

on

a

boat

on

the

Nile

Riverkings

and

queens.

Mike

and

Clare

have

also

begun

to

learn

the

language

of

the

country,

Arabic.

This

language

is

different

from

English

in

many

ways,

and

they

find

it

hard

to

spell

and

pronounce

the

words.

However,

they

still

enjoy

learning

it.

So

far

they

have

learnt

to

speak

German,

French,

Chinese

and

Arabic.

Sometimes

they

mix

the

languages.

“It’s

really

fun,”

said

Clare.

The

Robinsons

are

moving

again.

The

company

has

asked

Peter

to

work

back

in

the

US.

Mike

and

Clare

are

happy

about

this.

They

have

friends

all

over

the

world,

but

they

also

miss

their

friends

in

the

US.

They

are

counting

down

the

days.

I’ve

Tony:

Sure,

Have

you

Scientists

The

has

Daming:

Has

Tony:

Yes,

That’s

it’s

Daming:

So

have

they

discovered

life

on

Tony:

No,

they

haven’t

yet.

Daming:

Are

there

any

astronauts

in

the

spaceship?

Tony:

No,

there

aren’t.

Daming:

Why?

Astronauts

have

already

been

to

the

moon.

Tony:

Yes,

but

no

one

has

been

to

Mars

yet,

because

Mars

is

very

far

away,

much

farther

than

the

moon.

Lots

of

scientists

are

working

hard

in

order

to

send

astronauts

to

Mars

one

day.

Daming:

That’s

How

can

I

get

information

on

Tony:

You

can

go

for

Unit

We

have

not

found

life

on

any

other

planets

yet.

Scientists

think

that

there

has

been

life

on

earth

for

hundreds

of

millions

of

years.

However,

we

have

not

found

life

on

any

other

planets

yet.

The

earth

is

a

planet

and

it

goes

around

the

sun.

Seven

other

planets

also

go

around

the

sun.

None

of

them

has

an

environment

like

that

of

the

earth,

so

scientists

do

not

think

they

will

find

life

on

them.

The

sun

and

its

planets

are

called

the

solar

system,

and

our

solar

system

is

a

small

part

of

a

much

larger

group

of

stars

and

planets,

called

the

Galaxy

or

the

Milky

Way.

There

are

billions

of

stars

in

the

Galaxy,

and

our

sun

is

only

one

of

them.

Scientists

have

also

discovered

many

other

galaxies

in

the

universe.

They

are

very

far

away

and

their

light

has

to

travel

for

many

years

to

reach

us.

So

how

large

is

the

universe?

It

is

impossible

to

imagine.

Scientists

have

sent

spaceships

to

the

plant

of

Mars

to

take

photos.

They

even

have

sent

spaceships

to

travel

outside

the

solar

system.

However,

no

spaceship

has

travelled

far

enough

to

reach

near

other

stars

in

our

Galaxy.

Scientists

have

always

asked

the

question:

With

so

many

stars

in

the

universe,

are

we

alone,

or

is

there

life

out

there

in

space

Have

there

been

visitors

to

the

earth

from

other

planets

Why

has

no

one

communicated

with

us

We

do

not

know

the

answers…yet.

Have

we

long

illness,

soI

wanted

to

exercise

more.

Then

a

friend

suggested,

“Why

don’t

we

go

for

a

run

before

school?”So

we

started

running

a

week

ago.

But

I

do

not

enjoy

running,

and

when

I

get

to

school,

I

feel

awful.

My

legs

hurt

and

I

am

hot

all

over.

Perhaps

I

am

too

weak

to

do

any

exercise.

What

do

you

think?

Module5Cartoons

Unit

It’s

time

to

watch

a

cartoon.

Tony:

Daming,

we’ve

finished

our

homework.

It’s

time

to

watch

a

cartoon.

Daming:

Good

idea,

Tony.

Let’s

watch

Superman!

Tony:

We

watched

Superman

yesterday.

Why

don’t

we

watch

Spiderman?

It’s

more

modern.

Daming:

I

think

Superman

is

better.

He’s

stronger

than

Spiderman.

He

can

fly

through

the

sky

and

fight

bad

people.

Tony:

Spiderman

can’t

fly,

but

he

climbs

up

buildings

with

his

hands

and

feet.

That’s

cool.

I

want

to

be

someone

like

him.

Daming:

Well,

Superman

is

brave.

He

keeps

fighting

bad

people.

That’s

a

real

hero!

Tony:

I

don’t

think

we

agree.

Daming:

All

right.

Let’s

watch

Tom

and

Jerry

then.

Tony:

Yeah!

I

like

humorous

cartoons.

Tom

and

Jerry

are

very

funny.

I

can’t

help

laughing

when

I

watch

them.

Daming:

Yes,

Jerry

is

too

smart

for

Tom.

Tony:

The

cut

mouse

always

beats

the

cat!

They

fight

a

lot,

but

they

really

love

each

other.

Sometimes

they

protect

each

other

and

work

together.

I

think

there’s

lesson

there!Unit2TintinhasbeenpopularforovereightyyearsCartoon

heroes

Nemo

is

a

cute

orange-and-white

green

animal.They

look

very

different,

but

both

of

them

have

won

the

hearts

of

young

people

all

over

the

The

pictures

of

these

are

everywhere,

on

office

There

are

also

some

older

cartoon

favourites,forexample,theMonkey

King.

He

is

the

hero

of

a

story

called

Havoc

in

Heaven.

He

leads

a

group

of

monkeys

against

the

Emperor

of

Heaven

and

his

guards.

He

is

brave,

clever

and

humorous.

Parents

and

children

laugh

together

as

Monkey

King

makes

a

terrible

mess

in

They

always

expect

to

see

more

Monkey

cartoons.

Tintin

is

another

favourite

cartoon

hero.

He

has

been

popular

for

over

eighty

years,

ever

since

He

works

bought

about

200

Lingling:

Hi,

Sorry,

it’s

a

mess.

I’ll

put

the

Betty:

Let

You’ve

so

many

fans.

Lingling:

Yes,

about

sixty.

Betty:

Where

did

you

get

them?

Lingling:

Most

of

them

are

presents.

People

often

give

me

fans

as

presents

because

they

know

I

like

them.

Do

you

collect

anything?

Betty:

Yes,

I

collect

coins

and

notes,

you

know,

like

British

pounds

and

US

dollars

and

cents.

Lingling:

Coins

They

must

be

really

valuable.

Can

I

see

them

Betty:

Sure!

I’ll

you

my

too.

I’ve

collected

from

all

over

the

I’ve

of

Tony:

My

hobby

doesn’t

cost

as

much

as

yours—I

collect

tickets,

bus

tickets

and

train

tickets!

Betty:

You

can’t

do

anything

with

old

tickets!

Tony:

I

know,

but

when

I

look

at

them,

I

remember

some

wonderful

places.

Lingling:

Right!

Their

value

isn’t

very

important.

Many

have

hobbies,

such

as

reading,

painting,

growing

vegetables

and

looking

after

animals.

Some

hobbies

are

relaxing

and

others

are

active.

Hobbies

David

a

student,

and

one

of

his

hobbies

is

writing.

During

the

summer

of

2010,

he

spent

four

weeks

at

a

summer

camp.

As

well

as

the

usual

activities,

such

as

sailing

and

climbing,

there

was

a

writing

class.

―The

teacher

is

a

writer,

and

she

asked

us

to

talk

about

our

lives

and

tell

interesting

stories.

Then

she

encouraged

us

to

write

about

our

experiences

at

the

camp.Back

at

school,

David

wrote

a

story

about

the

life

of

a

sixteen–year–old

boy,

and

it

came

out

as

a

book

in

2012.

Many

young

people

love

his

book,

and

as

a

result,

David

has

become

a

successful

young

writer.

David

has

been

very

lucky

because

his

hobby

has

brought

him

pleasure

and

success,

but

is

I

Sure.

How

Lingling:

Well,

it

Betty:

You

Lingling:

OK.

Betty:

Lingling:

Yes.

Is

200

dollars

enough?

Betty:

If

you’ve

already

paid

for

the

and

for

homestay,

it

should

be

OK.

Lingling:

What

else?

Betty:

ask
