Section B Food for Thought
“Cooking is love made visible.”That is what my grandmother always told me. Thanks to her,I love cooking.It's a great way for me to share my love with others.Every time I sit at the table,after cooking for my family,we create memories.The smells and the food's taste,along with our conversations, connect us to each other.What wonderful memories I have!
One of my favourite memories is my grandmother's pumpkin pie.She always made it in autumn,when the weather got colder.Her friendly kitchen was the perfect place to warm up and enjoy a taste of the changing seasons.I still remember the days when the smell of cinnamon filled the room with sweetness.Now,every time I smell cinnamon,I think of my grandmother's pumpkin pie.
My grandmother told me about her first pumpkin pie.When she was a college student in the US,she stayed with a host family.One year around Thanksgiving,the hostess taught her how to make a pumpkin pie.Many years later,she taught me how to make it too.

3a My Favourite Dish:Guoqiao Rice Noodles

there was a couple living in Yunnan
Province,China.The husband studied
on an island far from his home.
When his wife went a long way to
send meals,the food always got
cold.One day,the wife boiled some
chicken soup and used a large pot to keep it warm.And she kept the ingredients separate.She put the ingredients into the soup when she reached the island,and she found everything still hot.The Guoqiao Rice Noodles was born!
Here's how to make the dish:
·First,wash the vegetables and mushrooms.
Next,cut the chicken and pork into thin pieces.
● Then,boil the chicken soup and pour it into a large bowl.
●After that,put the ingredients into the bowl,one by one. Finally,add the boiled rice noodles to the bowl.

SectionB Making Resolutions
Do you know what a resolution is A resolution is a promise that you make to yourself. It's like a personal contract you sign, vowing to change or improve something in your life. People make resolutions to improve their life. The most common kind is a NewYear's resolution.
Resolutions can be about anything. Some are about physical health. For example, some people may promise to exercise more or eat more healthily.
People might decide they are going to take up a hobby, like painting or photography. And some resolutions have to do with self-improvement, like becoming more confident or organized.
Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common: people hardly ever keep them! But there are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. And sometimes people just forget about them.
To make your resolutions work, you need to plan them wisely.Always make sure your resolution is possible to achieve. Don't set a goal that is too difficult or too much for you.
And if you don't want to forget your resolutions, write them down. Also, talk about them with your family and friends.Encourage them to remind you of your goals. So what resolutions are you going to make How are you going to keep them

I am also going to get fitter. Besides jogging, lam going to do push-ups and sit-ups. I feel energetic after I exercise. I'm sure I'm going to be a healthier and happier person.
Last but not least, my English isn't good enough, so I am going to study for two more hours each weekend. it might be hard, but Iam going to get a lot better at English!
Reading The Ant and the Grasshopper
[Adapted from Aesop's Fables]
It was summertime.The ant and the grasshopper were in the farmer's field.The ant was busy collecting corn.The grasshopper was relaxing in the sun.
"Hey,Ant,come sit with me,"said the grasshopper.
"No,thanks,"said the ant."I have to take this corn home.I'm preparing for the winter.”
A few weeks later,summer was almost at an end.The ant continued to take corn home every day,but the grasshopper just played his violin and danced around.
"Come on,Ant!"said the grasshopper."Dance with me!"
“No,"replied the ant."I'm going to get more corn.Why don't you join me You should plan for the winter."
"But the winter is so far away!Your work looks so boring!Come with me!Let’s have a picnic!"
“No,thanks,Grasshopper.I'm going to continue with my boring work.”
The grasshopper was silent for a while,but then he happily danced away. The ant looked tired,but she felt happy when she saw all the food in her kitchen.
The autumn arrived and the weather became cool and windy.The grasshopper ran around the farm singing songs.The poor ant had to fight her way through the wind.She wanted to collect lots of wood.
"Ant,it's too windy to work!"said the grasshopper."Come and sing with me!"
“No,thanks,Grasshopper.There's just a little bit more work for me to do.I want to be warm in the winter."
And then the cold winter came.The ant sat at home by her fire,enjoying some lovely corn soup.Then she heard a knock at the door.
"Oh,dear Ant,"said the grasshopper,“you must help me!I have no food!And no fire to keep me warm!”
"Sorry,Grasshopper,you must learn to look after yourself.Keep dancing and singing through the winter,and work hard when spring comes!”图说英语：新人教版英语八年级上册3-4单元课文句子表

How do we understand differences

Some people think that friends should be alike,but some other people think that friends should be different.What do you think Should friends be similar or different
4 hours ago
I think a good friend is like a mirror.You can understand people by knowing their friends.My friend,Stephen,is a great example.We often hang out together because we have similar hobbies and interests.For example,we both love sports.He plays badminton better than I do,so he always wins our matches.Because of that,I try harder when I practise,and now I′m getting better at badminton.
Stephen and I are similar in other ways.He is as serious as me.When we aren't playing sports,we enjoy reading together.I read more history books than he does,and he reads a lot of novels.We often share interesting books with each other.
3 hours ago
I don't agree.For me,friends who are different make me better.I think we should respect each other's differences and learn from each other.For example,I am kind of shy,but my best friend,Yuan Lei,is outgoing.She has a great sense of humour too.Thanks to her,I am becoming more outgoing. Now I think meeting new people is really fun!
I have another friend,Zhang Yong.He is not afraid to give his opinion,especially when he thinks l am making a mistake. I am less straightforward than he is,but I am glad to have an honest friend.
3a 3 hours ago
I don't really care if my friends are similar to or different from me.I have two amazing friends.Lily is funnier than anyone else I know.When I feel sad or have a problem,she makes me laugh and feel better.She helps me see the silver lining in difficult situations.
My other friend,Lucy,is not as funny as Lily.Lucy is quieter, but she listens better than others.Lucy and I talk about everything.I know she cares about me because she's always there to listen.
My favourite saying is,"A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart."Both Lily and Lucy are true friends. We are always ready to help each other by lending a hand.
Reading Once upon a time,there were four brothers.
"I can see farther than anyone,"the first brother said."At the top of that tree,there are five eggs in a nest."
"I am faster than all of you—I move as quickly as a cat,"said the second brother.He climbed up,took the eggs quietly,and then put them back. The bird never noticed it.
"I can shoot better than all of you,"said the third.He then shot a leaf above the nest.
The fourth brother said,"I can sew anything together,even something as soft as that leaf."In no time,the leaf was as good as new.
Not long after,the king's daughter was taken away by a dragon.The king said whoever brought the princess back could marry her.
The first brother said,"I see her!She is far away,on a rock at sea,with the dragon."So the brothers sailed to the rock.
The third brother said,“I may hurt the princess if I shoot the dragon.”
"Leave it to me,"said the second brother.He moved as quietly as a mouse and quickly freed the princess.
Suddenly,the dragon began to chase them.The third brother shot it,but its fall broke their ship.Luckily,the fourth brother took his needle and sewed the ship together.Then they sailed home safely.
The happy king asked,"Which of you will marry my daughter "The brothers began to argue.Each brother believed that he did more than the others.Finally,the king said,“Each of you is as good as the others,but you are much stronger together.Instead,I give half of my kingdom to you as a reward.” The brothers were pleased.It was much better to share than to fight.

Section B How are plants and animals connected with us
Imagine you go to the supermarket in your area, but there are almost no fruits,vegetables,honey, milk,eggs,or chocolate.How would you feel
Disappointed Angry Sad At this moment you realize people,plants,and animals are all connected.We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection.
Bees are very hard-working animals,and their greatest work is pollination.
On one trip,they often visit 50 to 100 flowers.As they fly from one flower to another,they take pollen with them.This action helps plants grow.In fact,without their work,about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow.For this reason,many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.
Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world.For example,they work hard together to make their homes. In order to store honey,they create honeycombs.Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food,it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is.
Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet.However,the number of bees is dropping,and scientists are worried.Bees need our help, and there is a lot we can do.Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth.
3a The Blue Whale
The blue whale is the largest and heaviest animal on earth.It can weigh as much as 200 tons.Many people like watching blue whales swim,and they think it is one of the most beautiful things to see. Blue whales live in all oceans except the Arctic Ocean.They eat a lot,but they eat some of the tiniest animals in the ocean.A blue whale can eat around four tons of these a day.
Blue whales can live up to 90 years.When a blue whale dies at sea,it becomes food for many kinds of animals living in and around the sea.This food lasts for over a year and it helps to create a lively and healthy ecosystem.Blue whales play an important role in our world,so we must protect them.
Reading The Brave Homing Pigeon
(Adapted from Ernest Seton's Animal Heroes)
Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean,1862.
The captain sighed.This was the thickest fog he had ever seen.They were over 330 kilometres from the closest land,so he didn't know where to go.The ship was on its way to Europe.Just ten hours ago they left New York,but now the engine stopped working.Clearly,they needed help!
Suddenly,the captain remembered the homing pigeons.He ran to them quickly, wrote a message for help,and tied it to Big Blue's leg.Big Blue flew up and then returned almost right away.
The captain became more worried.
"You are our last hope,little guy,"said the captain as he tied a note to Arny,the smaller and younger of the two pigeons.The captain threw him into the air.Arny flew around and around,higher and higher.Soon,the bird was away from the ship,and the captain couldn't see Arny anymore.
"That's a good sign,"said the captain with more hope.
Almost 340 kilometres away,Billy heard fast-moving wings come into his building and go straight to the water bowl.
“Hi there,little guy.Well,aren't you the thirstiest bird!”Billy smiled.Then he saw the note.
Billy knew what to do.He took the note,running as fast as he could to the company office.There,he learnt Arny had flown in fog and over the sea,for more than four hours.
Thanks to Arny,people sent help to the ship.
The captain later explained,"Arny really is the most amazing bird!"图说英语：新人教版英语八年级上册1-2单元课文句子表

1b 17-Jul
Today was our first day to visit Moscow.The weather was fine and everyone felt excited to visit some famous places in Russia.
In the morning,we went to the Victory Museum.The Russian people built this museum to remember their fight against the Nazis during World War II.As we walked through the halls,the tour guide told us stories about the war.
In one hall,I saw an artwork with thousands of glass"tears"falling down.It reminds us that war is terrible and peace does not come easily.We should not forget that.
At noon,we had lunch at a restaurant near the park.I liked the ice cream there,sol ate a lot of it.But,during dinner,I didn't feel like eating because I felt sick.So now,I just want to get a good night's sleep.

We took the Moscow Metro to travel around.The metro stations are really beautiful.Sometimes I felt like I was walking inside a palace.After that,we went to Red Square.We saw some fantastic buildings there.
In the afternoon,we arrived at a school and met a group of Russian students.We played games and soon became friends.
Later,someone took out his accordion, and soon everyone got together to sing and dance.
We were so happy that we didn't notice the time.It was such a good experience!
3a My Holiday in Scotland
Last autumn,my family took a train to Scotland for a holiday.We stayed in a comfortable house in the countryside with beautiful scenery.I live in a big city,so everything there seemed so different. For example,beside the house,there was a huge forest.
On the last day,early in the morning,I went to the forest to explore.While there,something made a noise.I turned around and was surprised to see a deer.
I ran home and told my parents what I saw.My mum smiled and said,"The deer is probably looking for food and hoping to get some from you."What a wonderful experience I had!I really hope I can go back again.
Reading Holiday Experiences
Lin Tao
My best holiday experience was two years ago.My family lives in Wuhan,the biggest city in Central China.That summer,I decided to do something cool:cycling from Wuhan to Beijing with some friends from college.My parents were surprised at my idea,but soon they gave me all their support.With their help,I made a cycling plan.
I also learnt a lot from other people's cycling experiences.I packed everything l needed and started the trip.The cycling took us almost a month to complete.It was tiring but worthwhile.I saw beautiful mountains,forests,and rivers.I met a lot of nice people,and some of them gave me a lot of help along the way.But there were also difficulties,and sometimes I just wanted to give up.However, when l finally arrived at the Tian'an men Square,I was so proud of myself.
Amanda
My best holiday experience was when I learnt to scuba dive.My family and I went to a town beside the ocean.At first,I took some classes to learn how to scuba dive safely.I practised in a swimming pool for a few days.Then,I lived on a boat for a week in order to do scuba diving in the ocean.Every day,I went scuba diving with a guide.
I saw so many colourful fish,amazing sea animals, and fantastic coral everywhere.While I was diving,another diver pointed,and I realized there was a baby shark near me.It was a stunning experience,and l will never forget it!

Going Home for the Spring Festival
It's almost the Spring Festival. Can we go to Hainan for the holiday, Dad
Not this time, Dad answered with a smile. “We're going to your mum's hometown!"
Soon the day of our family trip came. We got up very early in the morning to catch the train. The train journey took more than five hours,and then we changed to a bus to get to my grandparents' village in the afternoon.At the end of the road, I saw Grandpa and my little cousin standing in the cold wind waiting for us. We walked quickly to greet them.
Grandpa helped us pull the heavy luggage into the house.
Ah, home again! said Mum with a smile on her face. Grandma,my aunt, and my uncle were busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. They were very happy to see us. After a little while, my parents went to the kitchen to help.
Could you bring Wenwen her favourite snacks Grandma askedGrandpa.
I shared the snacks with my cousin and told Grandpa about school.He was happy to hear I was doing well at school. When dinner was ready,I asked,“Can I help "
You can set the table,Dad said.
We then enjoyed all the delicious food.
Mm, the familiar taste of home! said Mum.
During the dinner, my uncle told us some jokes and we had a good laugh.
Several days later when we were leaving, Grandma held my hands and asked us, "Will you come home more often "
Mum nodded, with tears in her eyes.

Reading Anne's Decision
(Adapted from Lucy Montgomery's Anne of
Green Gables)
Anne was adopted by Marilla when she was little. They lived happily together on a farm called Green Gables.Now Anne is going to a university out of town,but Marilla gets sick ….
Anne came back and found Marilla sitting by the kitchen table.She looked tired. “Are you OK,Marilla ”
“I saw the doctor,"Marilla said sadly.“But it's no good talking about it,Anne.
Can you get me a cup of tea ”
"Could you tell me what the doctor said "Anne asked softly as she brought tea to Marilla.
"He said I must give up all reading,sewing,and farming,or I will go blind." "Marilla,don't think of it,"said Anne.“There is still hope."
"I don't know,"said Marilla."I′m afraid I have to sell Green Gables."
Anne was surprised.“Oh,Marilla,you can't!It's our home!”
"What else can I do,Anne I'm sorry you won't have a home to come to during your university holidays."Marilla began to cry.
That night,Anne sat in the darkness,alone with her tears and heavy heart.But before long,there was a smile on her lips and peace in her heart.
The next day,she spoke with Marilla.“You mustn't sell Green Gables.I'′m going to teach here.I can't leave you alone,Marilla.I'll read to you.We'll be happy together."
“Oh,Anne,you can't do that for me.”
"But I want to!Nothing is worse than giving up our home."
“But your dreams...”
“My dreams are the same:to be a good teacher,and to help you stay healthy.
Nobody loves Green Gables as we do.We must keep it."
Most people,not knowing about Marilla's eyes,thought Anne was foolish.
Mrs Lynde,their neighbour,did not.She often found Anne and Marilla sitting outside their home.They liked sitting there at dusk,when the smell of flowers filled the air.图说英语：新人教版英语八年级上册7-8单元课文句子表

SectionB Ready for Tomorrow
Host:Good evening,everyone!Our guest today is Dr Lu Xingyuan,chief researcher of the Future World Research Centre.So welcome to our show,Dr Lu.
Dr Lu:Good evening.Thank you,it's a pleasure to be here.
Host:Dr Lu,thank you for joining us.So,as a futurist,can you tell us how life will be different in 50 years
Dr Lu:Well,you'll see robots working everywhere.
Host:Can you give us some examples
Dr Lu:Well,as we all know,China's robotics industry is growing fast.
Robots will make our life easier.We'll have service robots.They will do almost all our housework.They will also help save lives when disasters and emergencies happen.
Host:So,what jobs will humans still do in the future
Dr Lu:Good question!Some jobs today will disappear in the coming years.However,there will be more challenging jobs in the future, such as space pilots and AI experts.
Host:Do you think robots will replace humans one day
Dr Lu:No,I don't.Our creativity and emotional intelligence are important
for relationships.AI will not replace humans for these things.
Host:You mentioned AI.How will AI change our world
Dr Lu:Well,it will certainly change how we work,study,and live.For example,a smart refrigerator will know what you need and order food for you when you're running low.
Host:Wow,that'll save us a lot of time!Now,my last question:How can we prepare for the future
Dr Lu:It's simple.Just accept change.Keep learning and working hard.
Today's choices will influence your future.
Host:Thank you for your time,Dr Lu.
3a My Dreams for the Future
What will my life be like in 20 years It's not an easy question,but here are a few of my
predictions.I love art,so l think I will become an artist.I want to study art in France,
and then I will visit all the famous art
museums.I will learn a lot about different artists and their works of art,and I will
create my own too.
As an artist,I will live in the countryside and stay close to nature.There will be
flowers and plants around my home.Life there will give me good ideas for making art.At the weekend,I will invite friends to come over and have fun together.
I believe these dreams will come true as long as I study hard and keep on trying.
Reading Looking into the Future
Are you curious about the future What do you think our life will be like in 50 years or more To answer this,you can read a sci-fi book.Perhaps you will have some ideas then.Today,many young readers are interested in science fiction.But what makes it so popular
For one thing,science fiction gives us a chance to imagine what our future will be like. Anything is possible.We can dream big.Some people think there will be flying cars and robot servants.Others believe we will learn more about strange aliens and other worlds.
Another reason is that sci-fi writers and their work can inspire us to create the future. In 1945,a sci-fi author named Arthur C.Clarke wrote about a system of space stations. In the article,he predicted the earth of the future would have many TV stations and people would send TV programmes around the world.However,this was before TV was a common item at home!In a short story by Clarke,he suggested people in the future would use a system to talk with others around the world.Amazingly,the short story was actually the inspiration for the internet!
Science fiction is also popular because it can make us think about our world in new ways.Although many sci-fi stories are set in imaginary worlds or societies,they can help us better understand the real world.They can also make us excited when we feel like we are living in a boring world.
What will the future be like Sci-fi inspires us and helps us to understand what it could be like.

Jason: Professor,thanks for the helpful speech on communication.I have a question.
Sometimes my friends and I argue but don't know how to make up.What's the best way to communicate in this situation
Professor:If you want to solve the problem,a face-to-face talk usually works the best.
Jason: I understand,but meeting in person is not always easy.
Professor:If you can't meet,just call your friend.Some of you may prefer texting,but it takes longer and can make things worse if you’re not careful with your words.
Jason: But what if we argue more over the phone
Professor:If you stay calm and say sorry,it will help.If it is still hard to talk,take a break.
Meet when you're both ready.
Jason: I'll call and try to meet.Because friendship is important.Thanks for the advice!
Professor:You’re welcome.
Grammar

SectionB How to Make a Better Conversation
Do you get nervous when you talk to someone Do you find it hard to have a conversation with a stranger If you have such worries,it is time for you to learn some more conversation skills.Here are some tips for making better conversations.
1.Listen carefully and show interest in others.One of the most important things is to listen to the person you speak to.If you are a good listener,you will find some good points to ask questions about.For example,if someone tells you their hobby and you can ask questions about it,they will surely be happy to continue the conversation.
2.Choose the right topic.Some of the best topics might be the weather,sports,music,films,food,or travel.However,it is impolite to ask someone's age, weight,or other personal information.Also,if you don't agree with others,don't argue with them.Just move on to another topic.
3.Be honest and sincere.If you have no idea of a subject,just say"I don't know much about it."If you want to make the other person happy,mention his or her strong points.But don't just pretend to be nice,because people can find out you are not telling the truth.
4.Pay attention to your body language.Sometimes it is just as important as your words.Don't be nervous. Stand up straight,smile,and be yourself—you have a lot to offer.
If you really work at it,you will find having conversations much easier

Reading How to Stay Safe Online
No matter whether you like it or not,social media is becoming a big part of many teenagers' lives.The internet is popular among young people in China.According to a survey by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League,over 90 per cent of all Chinese minors use the internet and 50 per cent of these young people have made new friends online.
Social media allows people to connect with friends,share experiences,and stay on trend.However,the internet also has risks.It is important to stay safe while having fun online.Here are some simple tips.
First,if you have accounts on different apps,make sure you use strong passwords. Avoid using easy-to-guess information,like your birthday or your pet's name.
Second,be careful when you talk to strangers online.Not every person online is friendly or telling the truth about themselves.Don't share personal details,like your address,school name,or phone number.
Third,if you want to post anything online,think it over.Once it is out there,it is hard
to know who sees it.Don't talk about things you may regret.
Lastly,keep your social media profiles private so only real friends can see your posts and information.
Remember,by following these tips,you can stay safe on social media and the internet. Your parents and teachers want the best for you.Be aware of the risks and protect yourself
