do
some voluntary work during the
school holidays. They
wrote
the following reports.
I did some voluntary work in a
children’s hospital .
The children
there
all
suffer
from
serious
illnesses.
we
organized
a
painting
competition for
them.
I meet a girl called Cindy .She
wanted to paint a picture of the
park
near her home. I went there and took some photos
of it. Cindy
used them for her
painting.
Betty
There are many
children without parents .I
met some of
these
children
with
my
mother .we
taught
them
to
tell
stories .This
helps
them
express
their
feelings.
One
child
said
,”My
friends
don’t
understand my pain.
We
spend
time
with a girl called Vivien. Her parents died in a
car
accident, and she is unhappy and
very lonely. She needs friendship.
My
mother and I will continue to visit Vivien.
Mark
I want to help disabled
children. They have difficulty walking or
moving. I taught them to sing because
music can bring them joy and
peace.
I met a boy called Tim. He hurt his
legs in an accident ,but he has
lots
of
courage.
We
need
to
help
children
like
Tim
and
raise
their
spirits . I will continue to do
voluntary work in the future.

Unit2
Body language
Debbie and Simon are
students. They both have part-time jobs
at a travel company.
A
Well-dressed
lady
entered
the
office.
She
looked
at
Debbie
and
Simon,
and
then
walked
over
to
Debbie.
Debbie
gave
her
a
cheerful greeting.
“What’s
the matter?” Mr Yang asked.
“
People
always
choose
Debbie
instead
of
me.
I
don’t
understand.”
“I
do.
It’s the way you
communicate.”
“
How
can
that
be?”
Simon
asked.
“I
don’t
get
a
chance
to
spea
k.”
“Communicating is more than just
speaking. Your body language
is
important too.”
“Body
language?”
“It’s
the
way
you
stand
and
sit.
It’s
your
gesture
s
and
the
ex
pression on your face.
Your whole appearance communicates things.
You don’t give people a
good
impression, Simon. You look down, you
never smile and you don’t turn your
head towards them.
“Look
at
Debbie.
She’s
holding
her
head
up.
She
he
always
smiles
and looks
friendly.
Her
body
language
is
making
people
feel
welcome, so they go to
her for
help.”
Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat
up straight
and
tried
smiling
at
people.
Minutes
later,
a
beautiful
girl
entered.
She walked over to
Simon. A few moments later, she left with a smile.
Mr
Yang
came
over
at
once
and
said,
“You
mad
e
a
good
impression
on her, Simon.” “That was my sister, “
said
Simon.
“She
wanted to remind me that that tomorrow
is her birthday.”

“出什么事了？杨先生问。
“人们总
是选择戴比而不是我。我不明白。
”
“是的。这就是你交流的方式。
”
<

“怎么可能呢？西蒙问。
“我没有发言的机会。
< br>”
“交流不仅仅是说话。你的肢体语言也是很重要的。
”
“肢体语言？“
“这是你站立和坐下
的方式。这是你的手势和你脸上的压力。你的整个外表传达了一些东
西。西蒙，你没有给
人留下好印象。你往下看，你从来不微笑，也不向他们转头。
“看戴比。她抬起头来。她总是微笑，看起来很友好。她的肢体语言让人们感到受欢迎，
所以他们去找她帮忙。
西蒙决定改善他的肢体语言。他坐直了
，试着对人们微笑。几分钟后，一个漂亮的女孩进
来了。她走到西蒙跟前。过了一会儿，
她笑着走了。
杨先生马上过来说：
“
西蒙，你给她留下了好印象。
”
“那是我妹妹，
”西蒙说。
“她想提醒我
明天是她的生日。

Unit3
Traditional
skills
Wang Damin is a fisherman.
Although he is over 65, he is very fit
and still
enjoys
working.
Damin
uses
cormorants
to
catch fish. Cormorants are large
black
birds.
They
are
good
at
catching
fish
because
they
can
swim
well.
They can dive down and stay under the
water for up to two minutes.
Damin
usually
sets
off
in
the
late
afternoon
and
gets
the
cormorants ready for work. First, he
ties a piece of grass around their
necks
to
stop
them
from
eating
big
fish.
Then
when
Damin's
boat
reaches
the
right
place
in
the
river,
he
pushes
them
into
the
river.
Damin
uses
several ways
to attract
fish. During the
day, he jumps Up
and down on his boat.
After dark, he hangs a Iight on a post at the
front of the boat. The cormorants bring
the fish back to the boat. he
fish are
then taken and thrown into a big basket by Damin.
No nets
are required for this type of
fishing.
Cormorant
fishing
was
once
practiced
in
Iots
of
places
in
South-East
China,
and
there
were
many
fishermen
in
the
area.
But
today,
few
young
people
are
Interested
In
it.
In
50
years
，
perhaps
there will be no more cormorant
fishermen in the world.
王大明
是个渔夫。虽然他已经
65
岁了，但他很健康，仍然很喜欢工作
。
大明使用鸬鹚捕鱼。鸬鹚是大型的黑色鸟类。它们善于捕鱼
，因为它们能在水里游
得很好。他们可以潜水，在水下呆两分钟。
大明通常在下午晚些时候出发，让鸬鹚做好工作的准备。首先，他把一根草绑在脖<
/p>
子上，阻止它们吃大鱼。然后，当大明的船到达河里适当位置的时候，他把它们赶到河
里。大明用几种方法来吸引鱼。白天，他在船上跳来跳去。天黑以后，他在船前面的杆
上挂一盏灯。鸬鹚把鱼带回到船上。然后，大明取下鱼，把它们扔进一个大篮子里。这
种捕鱼不需要鱼网。
鸬鹚捕鱼曾经在中国东南
部的许多地方进行过，
而且这个地区有很多渔民。
但如今，
很少有年轻人对此感兴趣。
50
年后，世界
上就再也不会有鸬鹚渔民了。

Cartoons and comic strips
How to make a cartoon
First,
you need to decide on some basic ideas for a
story.
This story is about a robot,
Han. He always forgets things.
One
day,
Han
meets
his
friends
Sarah
and
Tim at
the
underground station. He says, “I’m
happy.
I bought a new notebook.
Now I won’t forget things.”
Sarah says, “Yes, I have one too. Here
it is.”
Tim as
ks,
“Where’s yours, Han?”
Han
says, “Oh, no! I forgot to bring it!”
In
the
second
stage,
think
about
the
kinds
of
characters
you
want and what they will look like.
Han is a tall robot. He has square
eyes. They are actually video
cameras.
Tim wears glasses, so he looks clever. Sarah is a
pleasant girl.
She has straight, black
hair.
Now make a rough sketch of the
story.
Next, use a computer to draw
detailed pictures and add colour.
To
make the
characters
and
things appear to
move,
each
picture
should be made a little different from
the one before it.
In the next stage, a
computer program is used to put the pictures
together as a film.
Finally,
record
the
voices
and sound
effects.
The
actors
will
do
the characters’ voices.
Their speech must match the pictures.
Sound
effects,
like
the
noise
of
the
underground,
must
also
be
added
separately .
After
everything
has
been
checked,
the
cartoon is
ready
to be
played for everyone to
enjoy.

如何制作动画片
首先，你需要确定一个故事的基本构思。
这个故事是关于一个机器人，汉。他总是忘记事情。
有一天，汉在地铁站遇见他的朋友莎拉和蒂姆。他说：
“我很高兴。我买
了一个新
笔记本。现在我不会忘记事情。
”
莎拉说：
“是的，我也有一个。就在这里。
”
蒂姆问，
“你的汉子呢
？”
“
汉说：
“哦，不！我忘记带了！
“
第二步，想好你想要的角色的性格类型和它们的样子。
汉是一个高大的机器人。他有一双方眼睛。它们实际上是摄像机。蒂姆戴眼镜，所
以看起来很聪明。莎拉是个讨人喜欢的女孩。她有一头笔直的黑发。
现在草拟一下这个故事的草图。
接下
来，
使用计算机绘制详细图片并添加颜色。
为了使人物和事物看
起来像是移动
的，每幅图画应该与之前的画有所不同。
下一步，用一个计算机程序把把图片放在一起合成一部电影。
最后，录声及（制作）和音响效果。演员们要为人物配音。他们的语言必须与图片
匹配。声音效果，像地铁的噪音，也必须单独增加。
在一切都被检查之后，动画片就可以播放了给大家欣赏了。
