Dear Tom,
It’s great to receive your email. Now I’d like to tell you something that took place in my school yesterday. In the afternoon we held a growing-up ceremony for our coming 18-year-old birthday. At first we made an oath that as grown-ups we should have a sense of duty for our society form now on. Then we showed our thanks to our parents who had gone through hardships to bring us up and teachers who have been educating us patiently. And our teachers also gave us cards expressing their good wishes to us. Finally, we put on wonderful performances, singing and dancing. We learned a lot from the activity. I think it’s very important for us. I will remember the day in my life.
Yours,
Li Hua
2. Discussion: What’s the function of linking word

◆ Prepare and present a report about how your city or town supports sustainable development
Procedures
● Welcome to the unit
Step 1: Brainstorming
At the beginning of this period, let’s watch a video. What can you learn from it
Step 2: Sharing information
1. Work in groups of four and discuss the four pictures on page 1.
Picture 1
What is in the picture (A lot of grains and a hand.)
What can food aid do to help solve the problem of poverty (Food aid can help feed people who have no food.)
Do you think food aid is a short-term or a long-term solution to the problem of poverty
Why or why not (Food aid is a short-term solution as it gives food immediately to people who are very hungry, but it does not allow them to grow their own food in the future.)
Picture 2
What is the man doing in the picture (He is building something.)
Why do you think he works so hard (He works so hard because he might be poor and need the money.)
Do you think training people to make a living is a short-term or long –term solution to the problem of poverty Why or why not (Training people is a long-term solution to the problem of poverty. It allows them to make a living by themselves.)
Picture 3
What has happened to the village (It has become a city. With the development of society, many villages have changed a lot over the years. Tall buildings have been built and motorways and bridges have been constructed. The living conditions of local people have been greatly improved. Small villages have been developed into towns or cities.)
Do you prefer living in the city or in the country Why
What problems may developing too fast cause (Developing too fast might harm the natural environment. For example, many trees have been cut down in order to build factories, roads and bridges. Also, almost everything we do in our modern lives, be it cooking or traveling, requires the use of Earth’s natural resources, which we may run out of one day.)
Picture 4
What do you think the things are used for (I think these machines are used to generate electricity by using wind power.)
What might happen to the coal, oil and other natural resources in a thousand years (The supplies of coal, oil and other natural resources might run out in a thousand years.)
What is renewable energy Can you suggest some good examples of energy for the future (Renewable energy is energy that comes from a source that will not run out. Solar, wind and hydroelectric or water energy are all sources of renewable energy that could be used in the future.)
2. Work in pairs and have a discussion about the questions below the pictures.
Sample answers1 In my opinion, compared to the old city several years ago, my home town, Nanjing, is developing at a fast rate and is taking on a new look. As the capital city of east China’s Jiangsu Province, Nanjing has experienced great changes. Many buildings and motorways have been built, polluted rivers have been cleaned, and more trees and flowers have been planted. With the continued development of the city, there is no doubt that it will develop into a modern, international city in twenty years’ time. 2 I do not think giving food and money to poor people will solve all their problems. Food aid is merely a short-term solution to a long–term problem. Giving food and money will probably solve the immediate problem of hunger and food shortages, yet the problem will still exist after the food has been eaten and the money has been used up. There are many causes of poverty. In order to solve the problem, we need to identify what causes poverty and then try to combat it.3 As I see it, development brings both opportunities and challenges. Without correct policies and strategies, it may be bad for a country. To begin with, it might do harm to our natural environment. For example, many trees have been cut down in order to build factories, roads and bridges. Besides, natural resources may be used up for development.
Step 3: Discussion
Look at the following pictures and then have a discussion:
Food has never before existed in such abundance, so why are 820 million people in developing countries going hungry What causes poverty How to solve the problem
For reference the cause of hunger: warsdiseasesnatural disasterslocal environmentwrong policies and strategiesgrowing populationlimited natural resourcessolution：stop wars give medical care and trainingimprove local environmentprovide educational trainingdonate food and moneydevelop renewable energy
For referencethe cause of hungerNATURENatural disasters such as floods, tropical storms and long periods of drought are on the increase with calamitous consequences for food security in poor, developing countries.
2. WAR
Since 1992, the proportion of short and long-term food crises that can be attributed to human causes has more than doubled, rising from 15 percent to more than 35 percent. All too often, these emergencies are triggered by conflict ( http: / / www.wfp.org / english / ModuleID=137&Key=2211 ).
In war, food sometimes becomes a weapon. Soldiers will starve opponents into submission by seizing or destroying food and livestock and systematically wrecking local markets. Fields and water wells are often mined or contaminated, forcing farmers to abandon their land.
3. POVERTY TRAP
In developing countries, farmers often cannot afford seed ( http: / / www.wfp.org / english / ModuleID=137&Key=2266" \t "_blank ) to plant the crops that would provide for their families. Craftsmen lack the means to pay for the tools to ply their trade. Others have no land or water or education to lay the foundations ( http: / / www.wfp.org / english / ModuleID=137&Key=2415 ) for a secure future. The poverty-stricken do not have enough money to buy or produce enough food for themselves and their families. In turn, they tend to be weaker and cannot produce enough to buy more food. In short, the poor are hungry and their hunger traps them in poverty.4. R-EXPLOITATION OF ENVIRONMENT
Poor farming practices, deforestation, overcropping and overgrazing are exhausting the Earth's fertility and spreading the roots of hunger.
Increasingly, the world's fertile farmland is under threat from erosion, salination and desertification.

3. The concert also received so much attention around the world that it put great pressure on
politicians and malnutrition.(P2) 音乐会还受到了全世界的极大关注，这给政客们施加了巨大压力，迫使他们为这次饥荒做一些事情。

together with
adv. in addition to; and also: 和, 加之

当主语后面跟有由as much as, rather than , more than, no less than 等引导的从属结构，或跟有由as well as, in addition to ,with, along with, together with, except等引导的词组时， 其后的动词形式取决于主语的形式。 例如：

The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.
As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. therefore, even with today’s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.
For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.
Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation（动力）. they have family problems, or they do notbelieve that they can find a job.
Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.
At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.
First, if the national economy grows. businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line.
Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. if the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer, Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.
Finally, if the government distributes society’s income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. in 1975 over 18million people in the United States received welfare.
Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.
1. The author's main purpose to write this article is .
A） to define what the poverty line is
B） to explain why some people live the poverty line
C） to find solutions to the problem of poverty
D） to show sympathy for those poor people

B） Poor people are those who love below the poverty line.
C） The poverty line rises as the general standard of living rises.

D） they are very poor in health
4. Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment because .
A） they to not have any motivation to work
B） they are not very self-confident
C） they are too young or too old to work
D） they have physical and family problems
5. We may conclude from the passage that .
A） better solutions to the poverty problem are not yet found
B） welfare will enable people to be rich

Read the three points on Page 10. Pay attention to the common emotive language signals when conducting an interview.
Step 1: asking about life in the past:
1. Now, let’s listen to a conversation of an interview and finish Part A on Page 10.
TapescriptStudent: Do you think that our town has changed over the years, Grandfather Grandfather: Yes, of course. There have been a lot of changes.Student: Can you give me an example Grandfather: Well, the way that I go from one place to another has changed. When I was younger, I walked or rode my bike to school. I remember that my hands and feet were as cold as ice in winter. Now, I take buses and taxis because my legs are weak. I feel like I could sleep for a hundred years after I walk long distances now.Student: What were the buildings like Grandfather: In the past, there weren’t as many buildings as there are now, and they weren’t very tall. The town had a lot of small houses and just a few shops. Wangji Shoe Shop has been there since I was a child.Student: What was the biggest building back then Grandfather: I suppose it was the school.Student: What do you think about the buildings today Grandfather: We have more and more tall buildings today. I like the changes because they show our town’s growth and development. My favourite building is the new department store. It’s as big as a mountain and is a wonderful place to shop. It’s far bigger than the old school.Student: What kind of jobs did people have here Grandfather: A lot of people were involved in the fishing industry, and I was, too. Did I tell you I once caught a fish as big as a whale!Student: Is the fishing industry still big here Grandfather: It’s not so big any more, but the tourism industry is growing. A lot of new restaurants have also opened, and the catering industry is doing well.Student: What about the environment Has it been affected by development Grandfather: I remember the fresh air and blue sky of my youth, but today, the environment is in a terrible state. The sea is full of rubbish and the air is polluted. It’s awful.Student: Grandfather, do you think that the changes in the town have been good Grandfather: I think that most of the changes are good. We must be careful, though, to develop our town while also taking care of the environment.

2. Now study the emotive adjectives in the left column of the table in Part B and then complete the right column with the missing words.
AnswersB (1) ice (2) a hundred years(3) big (4) big
3. Now listen to the monologue in Part C and take notes on the note.
TapescriptGrandfather: Yes, I remember now. This newspaper report is about the shopping centre that opened near Shells Beach when I was a young man. The centre is still there today. It was a very good idea, if you ask me. It created jobs for many people at the time. It allowed many new restaurants to open, which was good for people working in the catering industry. My favourite restaurant was a seafood restaurant on the top floor, but it is no longer there. My friend Gao Dahai, a famous seafood chef, used to work there, and my younger cousin worked as a waiter there. Another good thing about the shopping centre was that they opened several clothing shops that sold things made by local designers. Your grandmother Fang Yi used to design belts and handkerchiefs for one of them. She once forced me to be a model for a fashion show raising money for a local charity! I also remember going to a local book club at the Bookworm Bookshop in the shopping centre. Authors from around the area used to sign their books for readers. I think that this shopping centre also helped support the publishing industry a lot. Although there were only a few travel agencies, a tourist information office opened soon after the grand opening of the shopping centre. That was good because many tourists came to visit, and the tourism industry in the town has developed a lot since then.More than anything else, I remember how this shopping centre helped people in the area, and it became my favourite place in town. It was wonderful.
AnswersC (1) seafood (2) top floor (3) waiters (4) designers (5) local charity (6) book club (7) travel agencies (8) a tourist information office
