Presentation
In China and abroad, people sometimes communicate without speaking. How do they do this They use body language. But body language is not the same in all cultures.
In China and some other countries, friends shake hands to greet each other. They may be new friends or old, but they shake hands to show friendship and trust. In some European countries, people kiss each other on both cheeks. It’s another way to show friendship and love.
In India, when people nod their heads, they mean “no”. And when people shake their heads, they mean “yes”. But in most other countries, these things mean the opposite.
A thumbs up means “okay” or “well done” in most cultures. In Australia, however, it is not polite. In Japan, it means “five”, and in Germany, it means “one”.
In most places, people point to things with their fingers. But in some places, people point with their lips. They think it’s rude to point with a finger.
When Italians wave goodbye, it may look like “Come here!” to Americans. But the American goodbye wave looks like “no” in many parts of Europe and South America.
One body language is the same all around the world: a smile. Try it, and you’ll see!
Culture refers to the beliefs, way of life, art and customs that are shared and accepted by people in a particular society. The world has many different cultures. We should learn and respect different cultures.

Presentation
The earth is a very special planet, and it faces a big problem. In the year 2010, the world’s population was over 7 billion in total. It is increasing very quickly. By 2025, the world may have about 8 billion people. And by 2050, the world’s population may reach 9 billion.
There is another problem. People can’t live everywhere on the earth. We can’t live in water, and only about one third of our planet is land. But parts of this land are very dry. These dry places are called deserts. Some areas have very high mountains. Others have a lot of snow and ice. It is not easy to live in those places.
There are seven continents: Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica, Europe, North America and South America. Antarctica is covered with snow and ice all year round. Luckily, people can live on the other six continents. On these continents, there are green forests, fresh water and rich lands.
Oceans cover two thirds of the earth’s surface. The earth has only one big ocean, but we use these names for its different parts: the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is the largest one.
The earth is our home now, and it will be our home in the future. It must be treated well for our children and for our children’s children, too!
Let’s Do It!

②特殊表达法。
如：a half 二分之一；a quarter 四分之一；three quarters 四分之三。
注意：当分数在句中作主语的时候，若后面的名词是复数，则谓语动词用复数；若后面的名词是单数或不可数名词，则谓语动词用单数。
中考链接
Nowadays，________of the old people in the area ________ used to dancing on the square after supper. (湖北恩施州中考)
A．two third；is B．two thirds；is C．two thirds；are
解析 考查分数的用法和主谓一致。
句意：如今这个地区三分之二的老年人已经习惯于晚饭后在广场上跳舞。
分数的表达法为：分子用基数词，分母用序数词；当分子大于1时，分母要用复数，排除A。当分数作主语时，其后的谓语动词与分数后面的名词保持一致。people是复数名词，故用are。

我是我们班里个子最高的。
My movements are the most graceful of us three.
三个人中我的动作是最优雅的。

Presentation
Li Ming wrote a report about North America.
North America is a large continent, but it has only three main countries. Canada is the farthest north. To the south of Canada is the United States. The U.S. is north of Mexico. Together, these three countries cover about 24 million square kilometres.
About 550 million people live in North America. That is a large population, but smaller than that of China. The Great Lakes are the largest bodies of fresh water in the world. The Rocky Mountains are the biggest mountains in North America.
Canada is the biggest of the three countries in area, but it has the smallest population — about 35 million. People speak many languages in Canada. Most speak English or French, but the third most common language is Chinese!
The U.S. is also a very large country, and its population is much larger than any other country in North America. It has a population of more than 315 million. The U.S. is often called America. People in the U.S. are called Americans. Most Americans speak English, and many speak Spanish. Of course, there are a lot of Chinese speakers in the U.S., too — more than 2 million!
Mexico is smaller than both Canada and the U.S. Most of the people there speak Spanish. It has a population of more than 110 million. Mexican people love their country, but many leave to live and work in the U.S. The capital city of Mexico is Mexico City. It is a very big city.

·Name the continent’s main cities. What countries are these cities in
·Name its main bodies of water.
·Describe the continent’s population.
·Describe other important facts about the continent. Does it have any famous mountains Does it have any big lakes or deserts
1. North America is a large continent, but it has only three main countries.
(1)【辨析】large、big与huge
large、big与huge都是形容词，都有 “大的” 之意，但也有区别。
Language points
large large多指面积大。
注意：表示population(人口)或number(数量) 的 “多” 要用large，表示 “少” 要用small。
big big 指具体事物的体积大，其反义词是small/little。
huge huge强调体形巨大，而非重量。
例: China is a large country.
中国是个大国。
The population of China is the largest in the world.
中国的人口在世界上是最多的。
My apple is bigger than yours.
我的苹果比你的大。
A whale is a kind of huge animal.
鲸是一种巨型动物。
(2)main adj.主要的；最重要的
它指某事或某物是整体中最主要或最明显的，或在大小、潜力或重要性方面优于其他同类事物。
main在句中只作定语，无比较级和最高级形式。
例: The main course today is very delicious.
今天的主菜很美味。
The main thing is to stay calm.
最重要的是要保持冷静。
2. To the south of Canada is the United States.
(1)该句是一个完全倒装句。句子的主语是the United States，表语是to the south of Canada。在英语中，为了避免句子头重脚轻，结构不平衡，常采用倒装语序。
(2)【辨析】to、on与in
to、on和in都可以表示方位，但在用法上有所不同。
例: Japan is to the east of China. 日本在中国的东方。
Henan is on the south of Hebei
河南在河北的南方。

Presentation
It’s evening. Brian is chatting online with David, a new friend from New York.
David: Hi Brian! How are you doing
Brian: Good, thanks! We have been asked to write a report on Asia. I would like to ask my Chinese friend some questions about colours in China. Maybe I'll ring him up tonight.
David: Ring up What do you mean Phones don’t go up when they ring. They can’t fly!
Brian: “To ring up someone” is the British way of saying to call someone on the phone.
David: That’s different. There are quite a few differences between your English and my English.
Brian: That’s true. Sometimes we describe the same thing in different ways or use different words. We say “in a team”, while you say “on a team”. And you use “washroom” or “bathroom” instead of “toilet”.
David: You have “autumn” instead of “fall”, and you spell color “c o l o u r”.
Brian: There are also some differences in pronunciation and even in grammar. I remember asking my cousin to translate things for me when I first came to Canada. “Are we speaking the same language ” I asked myself.
David: Ha ha! Did you know that there is American English, British English, Australian English and even African English They are different, but they are all English. By the way, some Canadians use the word “eh” at the end of their sentences. It’s pronounced like the letter “A”. What does it mean
Brian: It is a friendly way of saying “Do you understand ” or “Do you agree ”
David: Oh, I see. That’s interesting, eh
Let’s Do It!
Listen to the dialogue and choose the
correct words.

A: Hello Tina! I don’t know how to (express/say/show) myself well. Any advice
B: Sure. Why not talk with others in public I think that might help.
A: I know, but sometimes it’s hard for me to (pronounce/spell/say) the words and sentences correctly. Instead, I need to (pronounce/spell/write) them, which makes me feel embarrassed.
B: Oh! That’s the problem. Then try to improve your spoken English first.
A: Good idea! I’ll (phone/ring up/ask for) my foreign teacher to make a plan. Thanks!

①on多用于系统论述或专题演讲、论著等。
例: He will give us a talk on the history of the Party.

般用语，多用于讲故事、交谈等。

老师给我们讲了一个关于圣诞老人的故事。
2. Maybe I’ll ring him up tonight.

例：They often ring up their parents.
他们经常给父母打电话。
3. Phones don’t go up when they ring.
go up 意为“上升；提高；增长”。
例：The price of the tomatoes has gone up.
西红柿的价格已经上涨了。

“To ring up someone ”是给某人打电话的英式说法。

“To ring up someone” 在句中作主语。当动词不定式(短语)作主语时，其后的谓语动词用单数形式；

例: To get up early in the morning is difficult for me.早起对我来说很困难。(动词不定式短语作主语)

常用短语: be different from与……不同
例: My answer is different from yours.

quite a few 意为“相当多”,后面接可数名词复数，相当于many。

例: There is quite a little juice in the bottle.
瓶子里有相当多的果汁。
7. We say “in a team”, while you say “on a team”.
该句是由两个简单句构成的，前后分句由并列连词while连接。
while 在此意为 “而，然而”表示对比关系。
例: You go westward while I go eastward.
你朝西走，而我往东走。
8. Why not talk with others in public
in public 公开地，当众
其反义短语为 in private(私下地)。
