Unit 1 Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same things as they do.
The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared (害怕的) or angry looking face.
One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who's their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There's nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than shrug for an answer.
Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar (相似的) things and people who are nice to them.

There are mainly four great traditional cuisines that are viewed as representatives of Chinese culinary (烹饪的) skills.
Shandong
It is all about local，fresh ingredients and the stars are the seafood，including scallops，prawns，clams，sea cucumbers，and squid.Other commonly used ingredients include maize，peanuts，millet，wheat，oat，and a distinct type of vinegar.Quick-fried，stir-fried，stewed and braised items are among the more than thirty cooking techniques of Shandong cuisine.
Guangdong
Authentic Cantonese cuisine is among the most adventurous in China in terms of variety of ingredients as the Cantonese are famous，even among the Chinese，for their extremely wide definition of what is considered edible (可食用的)．Sauces，like hoisin，oyster sauce，sweet and sour sauce are predominant in Cantonese cuisine which produces light，sweet，tender and crisp dishes.
Sichuan
Saying Sichuan cuisine is hot and spicy is an understatement.Mouth-numbing (麻嘴的) and sweat-inducing，one can easily become addicted to the Sichuan peppercorns and dry peppers.Also sweat-inducing but in a different way is the Sichuan (as well as Chongqing) hotpot—perfect for the winter yet beloved by locals in the summer.The uniqueness of its cuisine also resides in its two cooking methods，the dry-braising(焖) and the dry-stewing.
Huaiyang
Considered a sub-regional style of the Jiangsu region，which also claims Shanghai and Hangzhou cuisine as descendants，Huaiyang cuisine is renowned for the delicateness of the dishes as well as the liberal use of sugar.Chefs of Huaiyang cuisine are more concerned with the presentation of the dishes as opposed to the “large plate contains everything” mentality typical of northern Chinese cuisine.Representative dishes include tofu noodles，Beggar's Chicken，congee，Yangzhou fried rice and braised meatballs.Another standout is the crab soup dumplings.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国四大传统烹饪技术。

7．Which of the following is typical of one of the four traditional cuisines?
A．Dry peppers；Beggar's Chicken.
B．Seafood；crisp；sweet and sour.
C．Sea cucumbers；peanuts；wheat.

There will be moments when you are going to doubt yourself.You'll say，“Why？Why is this happening to me？”For those of you who have experienced some hardships，don't give up your dreams. 2 ，but they will not stay，they will come to pass.
Many of you fail to seek your purpose in life.You dream and then follow it up with a list of all the reasons why the dream is unachievable. 3 .Things like these are the true limits you experience in life and they are what you create or what you allow others to lay upon you.
4 .Acting on the dream is harder.Recognize that a dream is a journey.On the simplest level it takes commitment，time and courage.But rarely is something great easily realized.Dreaming is recognizing the potential for greatness and seeking it in all areas of your life.Believe in your dreams and your ability to accomplish them.I'm here to challenge you to reach for your dreams.Do not be afraid to dream. 5 ！

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
A friend is better than money. A friend is worse than poison in some cases. The two sentences above have opposite meanings and seem to be unreasonable, but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us into bad ways.
My ideal (理想的) friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below — he has no bad habits, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality (节俭). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares the feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characteristics (特征) that I don't have. I can follow him as a model. With his help I can be free from all difficulties.
Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word “failure”．

It was a terribly rainy wet winter day. While I was walking from the library after getting my university applications (申请) for the next year at the end of my lunch break, a man was walking towards me with two huge boxes of brochures (小册子)．
I thought, “What on earth is that man trying to do? Carry all those things？” Then all of a sudden he dropped them all! It was a terrible mess with hundreds of brochures all over the path in front of me！“Oh, no，” I thought. The man sat down and started trying to pick all of the brochures up. I couldn't believe how many people passed by without even caring at all.
I thought, “I'm not going to be one of those people who don't care about this man. I'm going to help him.” So, even though it was the end of my lunch break from work and I would be late if I stopped to help him, I didn't mind. If I explained what happened, I was sure my boss wouldn't mind too much. So, I helped him pick them all up. Then I asked if he would like a hand in carrying a box to where he went. He said yes gratefully.
I carried one of the heavy boxes. The box I had to carry was very heavy—as I'm quite a petite (娇小的) girl but I didn't complain. I just helped him with a big smile across my face. We got there and he thanked me very much for helping him out. He also gave me one of these lovely brochures about all the walks in and around the Bay of Plenty.
What is a better way to spend my lunchtime than helping someone? Luckily, I wasn't even that late back to work, so nobody minded at all!

Ⅱ.短文改错
Mark Twain, like you know, was famous in his days as the public speaker. He always liked to play joke on his friends. One day, the one of his friends lost their wallet and asked him to buy a train ticket for him. “But I don't have enough money to pay both your ticket and mine，”Mark Twain said. The friend didn't know what to do. “Let's do this，”Mark Twain saying, “You can get off the train and when the conductor comes to check the ticket you can hide under my seat.”Later, however, when the conductor comes to check the ticket, Mark Twain gave him two tickets—one for him and the other for his friend.

The two sentences above have opposite meanings and seem to be unreasonable， but they can be explained as follows： the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us into bad ways.
[分析] 这是一个由but连接的并列复合句。在前面一个分句中and连接两个并列的谓语动词；在后面的分句中who引导定语从句，修饰先行词friends；while连接两个并列句。
[翻译] 上面的两个句子意义明显不同，看起来也没有道理，但是它们可以做如下解释：第一个句子是指促使我们向好的方向发展的好朋友，第二个句子是指那些领着我们往坏方向发展的坏朋友。
