The Lost and Found Office in New York City
Welcome to the New York City Lost and Found Office. People often lose things when they’re travelling or when they’re in a hurry. They leave things on planes, on trains, on buses and in taxis. That’s why there are lost and found offices at airports and stations.
The New York City Lost and Found Office is very big. Hundreds of people come here every day. They are looking for their phones, cameras, watches, computers and many other things. We usually have about two thousand mobile phones and one thousand cameras.
At the moment, there are also some strange things at the New York City Lost and Found Office. There are about a hundred bikes and a large boat. There are also a lot of animals. This week, there are three dogs, two ducks and a pig! Whose are they? Are they yours? We don’t know! Are you looking for fifteen kilos of sausages? They’re here too!

Module 4 Life in the future
Unit 1 Everyone will study at home.
Ms Li: Will schools be different in the future, Daming?
Daming: Yes, there will! In twenty years time, maybe there won’t be any schools!
Ms Li: How will students learn then?
Daming: Everyone will study at home. Students will use computers and get information on the Internet. They can ask their teachers by Internet, telephone or email.
Betty: Well, I’m not sure. Yes, students will use computers, but school is good fun, and you can make friends there. And teachers can check the students’ level and will help them. Computers won’t do that.
Tony: Yes. Teachers won’t use on a blackboard and students won’t use pens and paper, or erasers any more!
Lingling: Great! Will students have a lot of homework to do?
Tony: No, they won’t. They’ll have a lot of free time!
Daming: That’ll be great!
Unit 2 Every family will have a small plane.
What will life be like in the future? How will things change? Here are some ideas. Which ones will come true?
A In the future, a change of weather won’t mean a change of clothes. We’ll wear a new kind of clothes. They’ll be warm when we’re cold, and cool when we’re hot.
B There’ll be no more light rain and cold wind in spring. The weather will be quite warm or even hot all year, with heavy rain and wind. The sea level will rise as well.
C We won’t travel by bus or bike any more. Every family will have a small plane. No more expensive cars - it’ll be cheap to travel everywhere by plane, not only over land, but also over the sea or even into space. Maybe there’ll be traffic jams in the air.
D Do you like long holidays? Well, you’re going to like the future because
machines and robots will do all the heavy and difficult jobs, and we’ll only do light and easy work. Working hours will be short so people will have long holidays.
Module 5 Shopping
UNIT 1 What can I do for you?
(In the shop)
Shop Worker: What can I do for you?

Unit 2 You can buy everything on the Internet.
Online shopping
There are many new ways of shopping, and online shopping is one of them .You can buy almost everything on the Internet .and it's very easy .First ,you choose something-clothes, tickets, a mobile phone, even a new computer -and pay for it. Then you receive it a few days later by post .
Online shopping has several advantages. First, you can shop at any time. The shops are always open. Second, shopping usually takes a lot of time. But to shop on the Internet you only need a computer and a mouse! You can also compare the prices of the same product and spend a lot...or save money.
But many people like going out and shopping with friends.They don't like shopping on the Internet because they can't see the product or try the clothes on. Also paying over the Internet isn't always safe.
Online shopping is changing our way of life .One day no one will go to the shops any more ,because you'll be able to buy anything on the Internet ,and you will be able to receive it anywhere in the world at any time!

Tour of London
Welcome to this short tour of London. This square is Trafalgar Square and it is the middle of London. We’re standing opposite the National Gallery, a famous museum with lots of famous paintings. From here, we’ll walk along the red street to Buckingham Palace. The Queen lives there.
Turn left and go to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Opposite you can see the London Eye. It takes you 135 metres above the River Thames. You can see most of London on a clear day.
When you are tired, the best way to see London is by boat. You can get the boat near Big Ben. As you go along the river, the London Eye is on your right.

Unit 2 I was born in Quincy
My life in Quincy
By Betty King
I was born in Quincy, a town on the east coast of America, twelve years ago. There were lots of things to do in Quincy, with many stores, two movie theaters, football clubs and basketball teams too. I wasn’t bored in Quincy. I was very happy there.
Two presidents of the US, John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams, were born in Quincy. You can visit their old family houses. Our house was big and comfortable. There was a big living room with a TV, a kitchen, a bathroom and three bedrooms. On my bedroom walls there were pictures of my favourite movie stars.
Behind the house, there was a big garden with lots of trees and there was a small lake with fish in it. It was great to play there.
There were lots of children in Quincy. Many of them were my friends. This was our last in the US and I was there for the last time in 2010. One day I’ll go back,
and I’m looking forward to seeing my friends again
Module 8 Story time
Unit 1 Once upon a time…
Tony: All alone in the dark dark forest, Goldilocks picked some flowers.
Daming: Oh, did she often go for a walk in the forest alone?
Tony: No, she didn’t. And soon she was lost. Goldilocks looked around her. “Where am I? she asked. Then she noticed a little house, so she hurried towards it, and knocked on the door., Nobody answered, so she knocked again, and again, Finally, she pushed the door. It was open. There was nobody there.
Daming: Oh! Didn’t anyone live in the house?
Tony: Just wait a moment, Daming! Goldilocks entered the house and look into a small room. On a table there were three bowls with some nice food in them. One bowl was small, one was big and one was very big. Goldilocks was very hungry. She picked up the very big bowl but she didn’t like it—it was very hot,. Then she picked up the big bowl, but she didn’t like it –it was cold. The little bowl was just right. She finished all the food in it.
Unit2 Goldilocks hurried out of the house
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Goldilocks wanted to sit down because she was tired. First she tried the big chair, but wasn’t comfortable. Then she tried the middle chair. It was not comfortable either. Finally, she tried the small chair. It was nice and comfortable, but Goldilocks was very heavy and soon the chair was in pieces.
She walked into the bedroom. There were three beds. She didn’t like the middle bed or the big bed. The small bed was very comfortable. Very soon she was asleep in it.
The Three Bears returned. They looked at the bowls and the chairs. Baby Bear cried,” There’s nothing in my bowl and my chair is in pieces!” He wasn’t very happy!
Next, the Bears looked in their bedroom. They didn’t notice Goldilocks at first. Then Baby Bear pointed at the little girl in his bed and shouted, “Look! There’s the bad girl!”
Goldilocks opened her eyes. The Three Bears were all around her, so Goldilocks jumped out of bed and hurried out of the house without her basket. She didn’t go for a walk in the forest again.

Unit 2 He decided to be an actor
William Shakespeare was a famous English writer of plays and poems. He wrote 38 plays, 154 short poems and a few long poems in his life. Two of his famous plays are Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet.
Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford, England. Like many people four hundred years ago, Shakespeare’s parents didn’t learn to read or write. At school he liked plays, so he decided to be an actor when he finished school at 14. He married in 1582 and had three children.
Shakespeare went to London and joined a theatre company in about 1592. He became a successful actor and began to write plays. Queen Elizabeth I enjoyed his works very much.
In 1599 the company built the Globe Theatre on the River Thames in London. You can visit the theatre today, but it isn’t the same building. There was a fire in the old theatre. They built it again in 1614 and in the 1990s.
William Shakespeare died at the age of 52. He was rich and successful. You can still see his plays in English and in many the languages. He’s famous around the
world..

Module 11 Body language
Unit 1 They touch noses!
Lingling: We’re going to have some Russian teachers at school tomorrow, and I’m welcoming the visitors. How do I do that?
Betty: Lingling, you know, in Russia, people usually kiss three times, left, right, left.
Lingling: What! No, I didn’t know that. We Chinese often shake hands and smile when we meet visitors, and sometimes we nod our heads . But we never kiss. Only parents and children do that.
Betty: That’s because people do different things in different countries.
Lingling: So what do people in the US usually do when they meet?
Betty: In the US some people shake hands, and some kiss or hug each other. In India people put their hands together and nod their heads. And do your know what Maori people in New Zealand do when they meet?
Lingling: No, What do they do?
Betty: They touch noses!
Unit2 Here are some ways to welcome them.
Body language around the world
by Wang Lingling
Our new foreign students are going to arrive very soon, and here are some ways to welcome them.
How close do you stand when you talk to a friend? You can stand too close to people in the Middle East but don’t stand too close to North American! Give them more personal space.
How about touching people? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their
friends. South American sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can’t move away! But in Britain many people don’t like other people to touch them at all.
Do you look at people when you talk? In some places, it isn’t polite to look at people when they talk, but in other countries it isn’t polite to look somewhere else. In Britain and the US, people usually look at each other when they talk.
And how do you say goodbye? That’s easy, wave to say goodbye. But be careful! In Greece, it’s not at all polite! In fact, it’s very rude!
Module 12 Western music
Unit 1 It’s so beautiful!
(The Blue Danube)
Daming: Hmm, this is Western music, isn’t it? Can you hear the violin and the piano? It’s so beautiful! Is this by Strauss or Mozart?

Betty: Tony?
It’s by Strauss. I love his music! Do you know anything about him,
Tony: Was he German
Betty: No, he was born in Vienna, the capital of Austria. What a beautiful city! This is called The Blue Danube. The Danube is a river in Europe. It goes through Vienna.
Lingling: Do you like both. You listen to pop music, Betty?
Betty: Well, I like both. You listen to pop music, Lingling ,don’t you?
Lingling: Yes, I do. I also like Beijing opera. Listen to this fantastic voice.
Tony: Hmm, the sound is very … different, isn’t it? I’m a fan of rock music. Listen to this!
Daming: Hey! Give us a break!
Lingling: Rock music? Listen to those drums.
Daming: It’s so noisy! And much too fast!
Tony: You don’t like rock music? I don’t believe it!
Unit 2 Vienna is the centre of European classical music.
The city of music
Vienna is a beautiful old city on the River Danube in the centre of Europe. It’s
the capital city of Austria and the centre of European classical music. In the eighteenth century a lot of musicians came to study and work in Vienna.
In the Strauss family, there were two composers called Johann Strauss: the father and the son. The father, Johann Strauss the elder, wrote and played music for traditional dances, called the waltz. His dance music made him famous all over Europe. The son, Johann Strauss the younger, was also very successful and popular. He wrote over 150 waltzes. In 1867 he wrote The Blue Danube waltz.
Mozart was another very important composer. He was born in Austria in 1756. Before he was six, he played not only the piano but also the violin. His family took him around Europe and he gave concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of wonderful pieces of music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only 35. Like Johann Strauss, father and son, he was a great European musician, and many people still think his music is perfect.
