English in the World
Some people say that the English language no longer belongs to the English, and it belongs to the
world. It is estimated that the number of people who use English exceeds 750 million. Among
these, about 350 million are native speakers, while the rest use it as an official language. If we add
to this number the people who have acquired the language to some extent, the total is close to one
billion.
English plays an increasingly important role in the world as a medium for conducting international
business and diplomacy, as well as in science and medicine, the Internet, air and sea
communications, international sports events, radio and TV programs, pop songs and movies.
世界上的英语
有人说英语已不再属于英国人了，它属于全世界。据估计 ，使用英语的人超过七亿五千万，
其中大约有三亿五千万是以英语为母语的人，而其余的人将英语作为官 方语言使用。如果我
们再加上已经掌握英语到一定程度的人，这个总数将接近十亿。
英语，作 为进行国际业务和外交的工具，在世界上起着越来越重要的作用。它还在科学、医
药、互联网、空中及海 洋通信、国际体育赛事、电台电视节目、流行歌曲及电影中发挥着越
来越重要的作用。

A Friend
When you read an English book, you often come across new words. You might try to guess what
the words mean from the words you know, but when you cannot guess the meanings of new words
at all, what should you do?
You have a good friend then. From him you can learn what a word means, how to pronounce a
word, how to use a word, and so on. This friend can always be with you, and you can always ask
him to help you. Do you know who this friend is? It is a dictionary.
You can learn some important things about words from it, so you must know how to use it.
朋友
当 你读英语书时，你经常会碰到新单词。你可能试着从你知道的词中猜这些词的意思，但是
当你无法猜出这 些词的意思时，你该怎么办呢？
这时你有一个好朋友。从他那里你可以学到单词的意思、发音及用法 等。这个朋友可以经常
伴你左右，你可以经常请他帮忙。你知道这个朋友是谁吗？他就是字典。
你可以从他那里学习有关词汇的众多重要知识，所以你必须学会如何使用字典。
come across 碰到 guess 猜测

Learning English in England
I came to England last summer. I have been in England for eleven months. I am going to finish my
studies in England soon, and will leave for China next month.
At first it was very difficult for me to communicate with other people in English. Now I can speak
English much better, and even understand English television, because I have studied hard and my
teachers and classmates have helped me a lot.
I have lots of English friends now. Some of them have even invited me for dinner at their houses.
They are interested to learn about China and Chinese people. Every time they ask me a lot of
questions, I realize how little I know about my own country.
在英国学英语
去年夏天，我来到英国。现在我在英国 已经待了十一个月了。我将很快结束在英国的学习，
下个月我就将回中国了。
一开始，我觉得 很难用英语和别人交流。现在我英语说得好多了，甚至可以看懂英语电视，
这是因为我学习很努力，老师 和同学对我的帮助也很大。
现在我有许多英国朋友。一些朋友甚至邀请我去他们家吃饭。他们对中国和 中国人很感兴趣。
每当他们问我许多问题时，我才意识到自己对祖国的了解是如此之少。
communicate 交流

Body Language
If you can speak English, you know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and understand.
But there is another kind of language you need to know — the language of the body.
All over the world, people
Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together.
When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do
not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends,
and men kiss women friends (on the cheek only). When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles,
and says
kiss each other.
身体语言
即使你会说英语，你知道很多英文单词，你会读，会说，能听懂，但还有另外一种 语言你需
要了解——那就是身体语言。
在全世界，人们都用他们的手、头和眼睛“说话”。当 日本人见面时，他们相互鞠躬。印度人
见面时他们双手合十。
当英国人和美国人第一次和别人 见面时，他们互相握手。通常，他们不和熟悉的人握手。女
人有时亲吻她们的女性朋友，男人也会亲吻女 性朋友（只亲脸颊）。当男人见到男性朋友时，
他只微笑着说声“你好”。男人之间不会互相亲吻或牵手 。即使是父子之间也不会经常亲吻对
方。

Hobbies
My hobby is collecting stamps. When I began, I tried to collect the stamps of all the countries, but
now I collect only Greek and Indian ones because I have friends in Greece and I live in India.
Some of my stamps are very pretty, and they are all interesting. When you look at stamps carefully,

they teach you a lot about the history of other countries.
My brother's hobby is watching trains. He goes to our station and watches them there. When an
engine goes through the station he writes down its name and number. He likes train watching very
much, but I don't. I went to the station with him one day, but it wasn't interesting.
My sister's hobby is sewing. She hasn't got a sewing machine, but she sews with our mother's.
Sometimes she sews by hand too. She makes most of her clothes, and when I tear my shirt or my
trousers, I take them to her and she mends them.
业余爱好
我的爱好是集邮。开始时，我设法收集所有国家的邮票，但是现在我只收集希腊和印度的，
因为我有朋 友在希腊，而我生活在印度。我的一些邮票非常漂亮，而且都很有趣。当你仔细
看邮票时，它们会教你很 多其他国家的历史。
我兄弟的爱好是看火车。他去我们的车站，在那里看火车。当一辆车进站时，他 写下车名和
车号。他非常喜欢看火车，但我不喜欢。一天，我和他一起去车站，但那一点都不有趣。
我姐姐的爱好是缝纫。她没有缝纫机，但她用妈妈的。有时她也用手缝。她大多数的衣服是
她自 己做的，当我扯破衬衣或裤子时，我就把它们拿给她补。

Climbing Mountains
Do you like climbing mountains? My friend Ted does. He has never climbed a dangerous
mountain, but he has climbed some quite big and difficult ones. He began to climb rocks when he
was a small boy. Ted liked it very much and he did not get very tired. The next year his father took
him up some mountains in Scotland, and he was very happy.
Last summer holidays, Ted's uncle invited him to go to Switzerland. The mountains are high there.
They went to Switzerland by train and had a very good holiday. They climbed several mountains.
At the end of the holiday he said to Ted,
well.
Now Ted wants to go to China to climb some of the very high peaks in the Himalayas, but he is
still too young and also he hasn't got enough money. Perhaps one day he will become rich, and
then he will go to China.
爬山
你喜欢爬山吗？我朋友特德喜欢。他从没爬过危险的山，但他曾爬过 一些很大很难爬的山。
当他还是个小男孩的时候，他就开始攀登岩石了。特德很喜欢这个运动，一点也不 感到疲倦。
第二年，他父亲带他登上苏格兰的一些山，他非常开心。
去年暑假，特德的叔 叔邀请他去瑞士。那里的山很高。他们乘火车去了瑞士，过了一个非常
愉快的假期。他们爬了几座山。在 假期结束时，叔叔对特德说：“你还很年轻，但你已经爬
得很好了。”特德听了很高兴。
现在，特德想去中国，爬上喜玛拉雅山最高的山峰，但他年纪还太小，而且没有足够的钱。
也许有一天他 会变得富有，然后他就可以去中国了。
