◆ Reading Club 1 Space Heroes
In the history of space exploration, hundreds of astronauts have made the journey into space. Men and women from all over the world have studied, trained and worked hard in order to go into space. It is a job that calls for a special blend of skill, talent and bravery, as well as great physical and mental strength. There are many risks and dangers, but the work is extremely important, and the knowledge that we can gain from exploring space is invaluable.
General Understanding
Read the text and answer the following questions.
1
Why did the US president make a speech about the Challenger disaster
Because seven American astronauts died when the Challenger exploded and he felt their families’ loss.
2
What were the purposes of the Shenzhou V mission
Carrying the first Chinese astronaut into space, for scientific gathering of information and to express the wishes of Chinese people to explore and use space peacefully.
Critical Thinking

Why does working in space call for a special blend of skill, talent and bravery as well as physical and mental strength Explain in your own words and include evidence.
Space missions require extremely hard physical training, advanced scientific skills and very high educational qualifications. They also require fearlessness because there are many dangers and risks. So, an astronaut needs to be many things: in top physical condition, a scientist and above all, a hero.
◆ Reading Club 2 Anne Frank and Her Diary
Since 1947, The Diary of Anne Frank has been one of the most powerful accounts of the experience of the Holocaust and has helped to give a human face to the suffering it involved. Although it was written by a young girl in terrible situation, it conveys a message of courage and hope.
General Understanding
Read the text and answer the following questions.
Who was Anne Frank What happened to her family during the World War II
1
Anne Frank was Jewish girl from Germany who died during the Second War. She is famous for writing a diary while hiding away from the Nazis. Her family had to move to the Netherlands. They spent two years living in a small and crowed annexe. Everyone had to be quite and she was always afraid of being caught.
2
Why did Anne keep a diary and write in it almost every day
To keep busy, to remain positive and optimistic, to keep a record of her ideas/experience, to escape from the situation she was in, etc.
Critical Thinking
3
Why is her diary one of the most important diaries ever written
Her diary showed courage and hope in times of extreme hardship, and inspired young people everywhere. Also, it gives a very clear image of what it was like to be a Jew during the Second World War and what extreme situations they had to go through in order to survive.

Grammar
“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句
基本结构为: “介词+which / whom”
1. 关系代词的选择
“介词+关系代词”既可以引导限制性定语从句，也可以引导非限制性定语从句。在此结构中，先行词指人时关系代词用 whom，不可用who/ that；先行词指物时关系代词用which，不能用that。
This is the student for whom I bought a book.
这就是我给其买书的那个学生。
This is the ship by which I went to Shanghai.
这就是我去上海所乘的船。
They live in a house, of which the windows are made of glass.
他们住在一所窗户是玻璃做的房子里。
2. 介词的选择
（1）根据定语从句中的谓语动词与介词的习惯搭配来确定介词。
Is this the car for which you paid a high price
这就是你花高价买的小汽车吗？
In the dark street, there wasn't a single person to whom she could turn for help. 在漆黑的街上，没有一个她可以求助的人。
(pay…for sth.)
(turn to sb. for help)
（2）根据定语从句中的主要形容词与介词的习惯搭配来确定介词。
He brought the result with which the boss was satisfied.
他带来了老板满意的结果。
（3）根据先行词与介词的习惯搭配来确定介词。先行词往往是表示时间、地点、原因、方式等的词。
Do you still remember the day on which we met for the first time
你还记得我们第一次见面的那天吗？
I can't remember the age at which he won the prize.
我记不起他获奖时的年龄了。
(be satisfied with)
(on the day)
(at the age)
（4）根据句子的意思来确定介词。有些句子的先行词完全一样，定语从句中的谓语动词不是由固定的动词短语构成的，这时需要根据句子所要表达的意思来选择介词。
This is the pilot with whom my brother has worked for ten years.
这就是和我的弟弟一起工作了十年的那位飞行员。
This is the pilot by whom my son was saved.
这就是救了我的儿子的那位飞行员。
注意：表示“所属关系”或“整体中的一部分”时，常用“…which/ whom”引导定语从句。
The old man has two sons, both of whom are doctors.
这位老人有两个儿子，两个儿子都是医生。
3. 介词可以后移，此时关系代词可以省略（省略时，介词必须后移）。
This is the book for which you asked.
这是你要的那本书。
注意：有些固定的动词短语一般不能拆开，介词一般只能放在动词的后面。
Is this the book (which/ that) she is looking for
这是她正在寻找的那本书吗？
This is the book (which/ that) you asked for.
这是你要的那本书。
4. 在“介词+关系代词”结构中，若介词短语表示位置，则定语从句往往用倒装语序。常见的这类短语有at the foot of, at the back of, in front of, on the top of等。
They stayed in a big hotel, in front of which was a garden.
他们住在一家大旅馆里，旅馆前面是一个花园。
5.“名词/ 代词/ 数词+of+关系代词”引导的定语从句通常是非限制性定语从句，该结构在定语从句中一般做主语。其中“名词+of+关系代词”有时可以用“whose+名词”或“of+关系代词+名词”替换。
Her sons, both of whom work abroad, ring her up every week.
她的两个儿子都在国外工作，他们每周都给她打电话。
Join the pairs of sentences using relative pronouns.

1. We climbed to the top of the mountain. We had a beautiful view from there.
2. David is my friend. I often play tennis with him.
3. He has 20 books. Only two of them are interesting.
4. This is quite an interesting job. I really want to apply for it.
We climbed to the top of the mountain, from which we had a beautiful view.

Start with a smile to make your audience feel welcome. Audience depend on facial expressions to add to meaning.
A speech that is monotone, without variation in tone and melody, will bore an audience. Decide which words and passages need extra attention and increase the tone to emphasise these points. If something sound exaggerated or false, your audience can turn against you.
Speak so that the audience can hear you. To draw the audience’s attention to certain parts of a speech, try varying the volume.
Begin in a neutral position, with hands at your sides. This is an open gesture, welcoming the audience. Use gestures sparingly, as they can detract from the speech. A hand gesture can emphasise a point.
Needs to be addressed to the audience, at their level. The information has been researched and is supported. Made use of repeated phrases for emphasis.
