Unit 2
Jo is fifteen and lives in Parkville.
When Jo’sgrandparents first came to Parkville, it was a quiet village. They had a small house. Close to fields md hills. Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with 200,00 0 people. People from Parkville moved to Armwick to find jobs. And they needed p laces to live.
However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the government built flats o utside the centre. Soon, Parkville became part of Arnwick.And Arnwick became a ci ty with over a million people. Jo’sfamily lives in one of those flats. It is very crowde d, and rubbish is also a problem.
The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago, so Jo now has to g o to a school in Arnwick with 2,000 pupils. It takes an hour to get there by bus. There is a lot of traffic and pollution. It is clear that Arnwick needs more schools, buses and hospitals. It needs fresh air clean water and better public services. It also needs mor e police to protect its people. But to do all these things, it needs more money.
However, can money help solve all these problems? Do we need more big cities l ike this? In fact, this is just a story. In fact, this is just a story.
But it describes what is happening all over the world. Could it be your town some day?

Unit 1 In China, we open a gift later
Betty: Happy birthday, Lingling. Daming: Here’s your gift.
Lingling: Oh, you remembered! What a surprise! Tony: You can open it!
Lingling: I don ’t think I should open it now. In China, we open a gift later. Betty: But back in the US, we open a gift immediately. Lingling: So what do I do? Betty: You needn’t wait!
(Lingling opens her present and finds a dictionary.) Lingling: Oh, thank you. I really wanted one. Betty: We’re happy you like it.
Tony: I noticed another difference. In China, you accept a gift with both hands. But in the West, we usuallydon’tpay much attention to that.
Betty: That ’sinteresting! I ’minterested to know all the Chinese traditions. Tell me m ore.
Lingling: There are a lot. For example, in my home town, people say youmustn’tdo any cleaning on the first day of the Spring Festival. And youmustn’tbreak anything. It ’sbad luck!
Daming: You must only use red paper for hongbao because red means luck. Andyou’ d better not cut your hair during the Spring Festival month. Daming: And in the north of China, people eat lots of jiaozi! Betty: Perfect! They taste great.
Tony: I like eating jiaozi too. Anyway, the Spring Festival is still over a month away. Let’s celebrate Lingling’s birthday first!
Unit 2 In England you usually drink tea with milk.
My experiences in England. I went to England last year. I enjoyed my stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.For example, you must say

Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time. When you get to know each ot her better or when they ask you to, you can just use their first names.
One day we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together. Afternoon tea is n ot just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit c
ake.
In England you usually drink tea with milk.So I tried to drink tea with milk too.
Fish and chips is the traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fi sh and chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your finge rs. It is delicious!
At the bus stop you must not push your way onto the bus. You need to stand in a line behind the other people and wait your turn. Sometimes people are slow to get o n the bus.
Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smile politely and say, “Excuseme! Are you waiting for this bus?”He was really polite.
Module 12 Help
Unit1 What should we do before help arrives?
Ms James: This mornings class is about first aid, or giving someone basic medical help. Let ’ s imagine an accident. A boy is lying at the bottom of the stairs. He isn’ t moving or making a sound. He is in pain. What can we do to help him? Betty: First of all, find out what ’s wrong with him. Ms James: How do we do that? Betty: Ask him.
Ms James: Ok. But he could have trouble hearing you or speaking to you. Lingling: Shout for help? Call 120?
Ms James: Good idea, but what should we do before help arrives? Tony: Make him comfortable.
Ms James: And how can we do that? Tony: Lift him up and sit him on a chair?
Ms James: No, that could be harmful! You could drop him and hurt him even more. B etty, you must know! You did some basic medical training. Betty: Make sure he’ s warm. Cover him with a coat.
Ms James: That’s such good advice that you could be a doctor, Betty!

Unit 2 Stay away from windows and heavy furniture.
What to do in an earthquake
Earthquakes always happen suddenly, so it is difficult to warn people about them. Usually people have little or no idea about what to do during an earthquake, so here is some advice. Inside Do not jump out of high buildings. Hide under a table. Stay awa y from windows and heavy furniture. Keep clear of fires. Leave the building quickly when the ground stops shaking, but do not use the lift.Keep calm, especially when yo u are with other people. Be brave and be helpful.
Outside Move away from buildings, because parts of a building may fall on you. Do not stand near street lights or under power lines. Stay away from bridges and tree s. If you are in a bus or car, stay in it.In the mountains, be careful of falling rocks.On a beach, run away from the sea and move quickly to higher ground.
In short, follow what you learnt in school. You can be safe and you can also help save others
