Saturday, March 24th
We have arrived in the hot,?wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand (泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and?very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days,?visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.
Tuesday,?March 27th
Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water,?and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.
Friday,?March 30th
Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life—no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much?more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded?and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human.?Education is to make a man lead a better life.?Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music,?read good books,?watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education,?but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

Language Goals知识点一 British eating habits are different from those in China. People in
the UK do not usually have rice or noodles for breakfast. They eat
bread instead. Hot tea, coffee and milk are their usual breakfast drinks.
Lunch is taken later in the UK, at about 1 pm. While Chinese people
like a hot , filling lunch, many British people today may just have a
sandwich, especially if they work in a busy city like London. There
are also differences in the way schoolchildren eat lunch. In the past,
British children ate hot lunches at school, as most children in China
do now, although the food was different. Today, it is more common
for British schoolchildren to bring their own lunches to school. They
will usually eat a sandwich and a piece of fruit, and drink fruit juice
or other soft drinks. Some children like to buy food from shops outside school, but often this is not allowed.
知识点一 The evening meal is the most important meal in both countries.
In China people have dinner at about 6 pm, and so do many people
in the UK. In most families in the UK there’s meat with two or three
vegetables and then something sweet. But in China people often have
more dishes, and usually with some soup.
And of course, in both countries people look forward to their most
important festivals: Christmas in the UK, and the Spring Festival in
China. Although the food they eat then is different, there is one thing
that people in the UK and China share – the happiness of being with
their families and loved ones.
知识点一1. The best title for this passage is “_____”.
a) Children’s food
b) Christmas and the Spring Festival
c) Eating habits in the UK and China.
d) People love food
2. In the past, British schoolchildren ate _____ at school.
a) sandwiches b) breakfast
c) bread d) hot lunches
3. A similar thing in the UK and China is that _____.
a) people have milk in their tea
b) children have hot school lunches
c) the evening meal is the most important one
d) people eat rice and noodles for breakfast
cdc知识点二Read the passage and match the heading with the paragraphs.
a) A busy street to enjoy yourself
b) A wonderful Shanghai at night
c) East and West side by side
d) Sights from the river
Shanghai, a beautiful city during the day, becomes even more beautiful at
night. At the end of the day, both the older part of the city around the Bund
and the more modern part in Pudong are full of colourful lights. The buildings,
both new and old, look very different and exciting.
If you look across the Huangpu River, you can see the beautiful Oriental
Pearl Radio & TV Tower and the Jin Mao Tower. If you take a boat along the
river, you will have a wonderful experience.
bd知识点二 If you like walking in the streets, try the famous Nanjing Road.
There are busy shops and coffee bars, and you' ll see thousands
of people enjoying themselves. Most of the shops close at 10 pm,
but at that time teahouses are still open, where you can meet old
friends and make new ones.
If you are in Shanghai for the first time, make sure you visit
Xintiandi, a very popular area. You can see both Western buildings
and Chinese buildings side by side. Most of the buildings are modern
and there are shops, restaurants and coffee houses inside.
a) A busy street to enjoy yourself
c) East and West side by sideac知识点三Read the passage and complete the notes about Rosie and John.
Sometimes we feel lonely even though there are lots of people around.
We spoke to some young people about being lonely to find out what we
can do about it.
Rosie left the primary school near her home to live at a high school two
hours away by bus. It was the first time she had stayed away from her family.
She did not know anyone at her new school, and she was very lonely. We asked her about it and she told us why she felt so lonely. “I was the only person from
my village at my new school and I didn' t know anyone at all.” She explained to
us what she did about it. “ I decided to join some students' clubs and take part in
as many activities as I could. I introduced myself to the other students and tried
not to worry. Slowly, I made friends and now I' m so busy that I' m almost never
lonely.”
知识点三 Next, we spoke to John. Last year, his family moved to a new city and he started at a new school. He told us what he did to become part of the new school by being patient when he started to worry or feel sad. “It takes time to make new friends,” he said. “ At first, it' s a bit difficult to trust new people, but after a while, it gets easier.”
As these young people found out, there are things you can do to help
yourself when you feel lonely. You can change your way of thinking, and
you can also change what you do to help yourself.
知识点三She was away from
her family and had
no friends in her
new school.His family moved to
a new city, so John
started a new school.
He had no friends.She joined some students' clubs and introduced herself to others.
She is now very busy.At first, he was lonely but,
after a while, it was easier
to make new friends.1. 完成了书本上的阅读练习；
