                　　Passage 1(p2, 92 words)
       
       
                　　--- OK, come in and sit down!
       
       
                　　--- What’s happening?
       
       
                　　--- We’re having a meeting.
       
       
                　　--- That’s news to me! I’m doing my homework. What’s it about?
       
       
                　　--- The school magazine.
       
       
                　　--- What school magazine?
       
       
                　　--- Right, listen up, everyone. Did anyone watch television yesterday
evening? Did you see the interview with Becky Wang?
       
       
                　　--- She sings with the band Crazy Feet. She’s my favourite singer.
       
       
                　　--- Yes, I saw it. She went to our school!
       
       
                　　--- Well, she started a school magazine called New Standard when she was a
pupil here.
       
       
                　　Passage 2 (p10, 98 words)
       
       
                　　--- Hello, Betty. What’s up? What are you doing in the library?
       
       
                　　--- I was looking for some old copies of the school magazine. If I’ve got
it right, it was called New Standard.
       
       
                　　--- That’s right. As far as I remember, it was started by Becky Wang. We
don’t have a school magazine any more. It’s a pity.
       
       
                　　--- Well, I’m thinking about starting it again.
       
       
                　　--- Sounds like a good idea! Go on.
       
       
                　　--- I was also looking for something by Confucius and by Shakespeare.
       
       
                　　--- Really? That’s a bit difficult for the school magazine.
       
       
                　　Passage 3 (p12, 83 words)
       
       
                　　Why do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in
eighteen seventy six, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world
today. And although it’s only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of
the southern states of America in the nineteenth century, so it sounds very
real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.
Go on — read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.
       
       
                　　Passage 4 (p18, 97 words)
       
       
                　　--- Hi, Tony. You look tired.
       
       
                　　--- Yes. I’m training with BIG, the Beijing International Globetrotters,
for the School’s Basketball Competition. It’s the big match next week.
       
       
                　　--- Who’s it against?
       
       
                　　--- HAS.
       
       
                　　--- What does HAS stand for?
       
       
                　　--- Haidian All Stars.
       
       
                　　--- Oh, yes. You were defeated last time.
       
       
                　　--- What was the score?
       
       
                　　--- All Stars ninety eight points to Globetrotters fifty two. So when will
the match be held?
       
       
                　　--- Next Saturday. Are you coming?
       
       
                　　--- Yes. It’s going to be a tough match. I’m going to write a report for
New Standard.
       
       
                　　Passage 5 (p20, 99 words)
       
       
                　　For Liu Xiang, life as a sporting hero has just begun. First of all, he’ll
be invited to competitions around the world. He’ll be chosen to represent China
at the Olympic Games. He’s a symbol of China’s international sporting
success.
       
       
                　　And now that he’s well known all over the world, Liu Xiang will also be
asked to appear in advertisements and films. But his coach Sun Haiping is making
sure that he trains regularly. Liu Xiang will be advised by his coach on how to
be a great sportsman, and by his manager on how to be a star.
       
       
                　　Passage 6 (p26, 91 words)
       
       
                　　--- Dad, can I ask a favour? Can I borrow your digital camera?
       
       
                　　--- Why?
       
       
                　　--- I’d like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next
week.
       
       
                　　--- Is this for your school magazine? Has it been published yet?
       
       
                　　--- Yes, two issues have been published. But it’s going to be an online
magazine from now on.
       
       
                　　--- What’s wrong with an ordinary magazine?
       
       
                　　--- Do you mean using paper? It’s too expensive. If the magazine is online,
paper won’t be needed. That’s an important advantage.
       
       
                　　Passage 7 (p34, 97 words)
       
       
                　　--- Let’s go to the Science and Technology room. It’s upstairs.
       
       
                　　--- Come on! This way! I’m looking forward to this!
       
       
                　　--- Shh! No shouting! It’s against the rules.
       
       
                　　--- But I want to go upstairs before we have to go home.
       
       
                　　--- Hang on a minute! You mustn't go up there! Come back!
       
       
                　　--- What’s the matter?
       
       
                　　--- Look at the sign — "No entry".
       
       
                　　--- Oh! Why?
       
       
                　　--- It’s closed until January. And the Natural History room as well.
       
       
                　　--- Oh dear. My classmates and I have got to write a report for homework by
Friday.
       
       
                　　Passage 8 (p42, 88 words)
       
       
                　　--- Hey, you guys! Guess what! We’ve just got an email from a reader of our
New Standard!
       
       
                　　--- Great! What does it say?
       
       
                　　--- It’s from Zhao Ming. He says, “I saw your enjoyable online magazine
while I was doing my homework on favourite books.”
       
       
                　　--- He read Mr Jackson’s article!
       
       
                　　--- He says, “When are you going to write about environmental education?
I’m at a green school in Dalian ...”
       
       
                　　--- What’s a green school?
       
       
                　　--- “… and everyone agrees we must be careful about the environment.”
       
       
                　　Passage 9 (p44, 84 words)
       
       
                　　We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it
does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to
help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference
to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.
       
       
                　　Remember these three words: Reduce, reuse and recycle. Reduce means “use
less”. Don’t waste things. Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as
possible. Recycle means “change things into something else”.

                　　Passage 10 (p56, 96 words)
       
       
                　　--- Hi, Tony. What are you up to?
       
       
                　　--- I’m looking for the photos that you took in Australia.
       
       
                　　--- OK, would you like a hand to find them?
       
       
                　　--- Great! Thanks. We’re doing a project about countries that we want to
visit, and I’m going to write about Australia. I have to imagine that I’ve been
there, and that I’m writing a letter to Mum and you.
       
       
                　　--- Well, have a look at these.
       
       
                　　--- Let’s see. Hey! What’s that?
       
       
                　　--- It’s called Uluru. It’s a huge rock in the centre of Australia. It’s
fantastic.
       
       
                　　Passage 11 (p64, 93 words)
       
       
                　　--- There are a lot of people here!
       
       
                　　--- Well, everyone wants to come to the school dance. The trouble is, I
want to get some good photos, but I can’t see over people’s heads.
       
       
                　　--- Are you going to enter the photo competition?
       
       
                　　--- You bet! By the way, is that He Zhong at the front? What’s he doing
here?
       
       
                　　--- Same as you!
       
       
                　　--- Who’s He Zhong?
       
       
                　　--- He’s the photographer who won the photo competition last time!
       
       
                　　--- The one who won the photo competition last summer.
       
       
                　　--- That’s right.
       
       
                　　Passage 12 (p71, 90 words)
       
       
                　　Photos can change the way we think about things. This picture of the earth
from space was taken by Bill Anders on the Apollo eight trip into space. Even
though now we can see many pictures from space, at that time, people weren’t
used to seeing photos of the earth like this. It made people think about how
small and beautiful the world was and how we need to take care of it. It has
been called the most important environment photograph ever taken. What do you
think of it?
       
       
                　　Passage 13 (p72, 83 words)
       
       
                　　--- Hello, I’m looking for Tony.
       
       
                　　--- He’s over there!
       
       
                　　--- Could you tell him I’d like to have a word with him? I’ve got a camera
which has got his name on it. It was upstairs.
       
       
                　　--- That’s good news. Shall I give it to speak to him?
       
       
                　　--- OK. Here you are.
       
       
                　　--- Oh, Tony’s dad is going over to speak to him.
       
       
                　　--- If Tony tells his dad that he’s lost the camera he borrowed, he’ll be
in deep trouble.
       
       
                　　Passage 14 (p80, 97 words)
       
       
                　　--- We need some photos of the next basketball match. Are you going to buy
a camera?
       
       
                　　--- Unlikely! It’s my father who gives me my pocket money, and he’s the
person whose camera I nearly lost.
       
       
                　　--- Hi, everyone. Guess what! I’ve just bumped into the head teacher. He
said he wanted to see me.
       
       
                　　--- What’s up?
       
       
                　　--- He wants to talk about New Standard.
       
       
                　　--- Ask him if he wants to write something about staying healthy.
       
       
                　　--- He doesn’t look like someone whose fitness and health interest him very
much!
       
       
                　　--- Good luck, Betty.
       
       
                　　Passage 15 (p82, 96 words)
       
       
                　　Jamie Oliver is a young cook who wants to improve school dinners. In two
thousand and five he went back to school to see what the children were
eating.
       
       
                　　Jamie asked the children what their meals were like. “We have hamburgers
and chips, or pizza,” they told him, “and sometimes there is fruit, but we
prefer ice cream.” Jamie thought the menu was terrible. The children were eating
junk food, and it was a problem. Junk food isn’t just bad for the body. Children
whose midday meals were unhealthy were difficult to teach in the afternoon.
       
       
                　　Passage 16 (p88, 89 words)
       
       
                　　--- So what’s next for New Standard?
       
       
                　　--- How about another “Homework Help”?
       
       
                　　--- What’s this week’s homework?
       
       
                　　--- Population. There are too many people and there is not enough space,
and there is too much traffic, noise and pollution.
       
       
                　　--- Well, we’re in the right place to talk about it. Beijing is a big
city.
       
       
                　　--- That’s right, although Chongqing is the biggest city in China. But an
increasing population is an environmental problem in many countries.
       
       
                　　--- Along with the crowds, the smoke, and the transport problems.
       
       
                　　Passage 17 (p103, 88 words)
       
       
                　　In many countries summer camps for children are very popular. In Canada and
the USA some of the summer camps are in the countryside or on lakes. The
children stay there for one to four weeks and sleep in tents or cabins. In the
morning they get up for a good breakfast. Then they do arts and crafts
activities, sports activities or music. Sometimes they go for long walks in
forests or trips in canoes.
       
       
                　　For many old students, the summer camps provide good jobs for the
summer.
       
       
                　　九年级下册
       
       
                　　Passage 18 (p34, 89 words)
       
       
                　　--- Can we have something to eat now? I’m starving!
       
       
                　　--- No, you can’t, Daming! You only had breakfast an hour ago. I think we
should start walking, and then stop at noon for our picnic. But you shouldn’t
drink all the water, because you may need some later.
       
       
                　　--- Can we go rock climbing?
       
       
                　　--- Yes, you can, but you must use ropes. You have to think about personal
safety! And you must have the right shoes. After climbing up, we can take a look
across the countryside.
       
       
                　　Passage 19 (p 64, 90 words)
       
       
                　　--- How was the play?
       
       
                　　--- Well, I was pleased to see it, but three hours is a long time to stay
still.
       
       
                　　--- Was it in English?
       
       
                　　--- Yes, it was acted by the Beijing English Theatre Company.
       
       
                　　--- Could you hear the dialogue?
       
       
                　　--- I guessed what they were saying, but their voices weren’t very loud.
Daming and Lingling found their accents really difficult to understand.
       
       
                　　--- The best way is to read the play before you see it.
       
       
                　　--- We tried to do that, but there wasn’t time.
       
       
                　　Passage 20 (p86, 85 words)
       
       
                　　There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on
their projects – helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home
country. Although you don’t get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach
important skills – decision making and finding answers to problems, for example
– that will help a student in a job one day.
       
       
                　　In a word, getting some knowledge and experience in an area you hope to
study or work in one day will always be very useful.
