5 Questions for Jose Hernandez As a kid, he dreamed big dreams-- then worked hard to make them come true. | |
|
We were farm workers. Until I was 12, my family moved around every two or three months, following the harvest (丰收) of crops in California. That helped define me I always work hard. |
It was December of 1972. I was 10, watching the final Apollo mission on a black-and-white TV. When I saw astronaut Gene Cernan walking on the Moon, I told myself, "I want to be an astronaut." |
|
NASA refused me not once, not twice, but eleven times! I finally got chosen the twelfth time. Five years later, I flew on my first mission to the International Space Station. Never give up! |
Floating (漂浮) ! You're always floating. My favorite food was a burrito with scrambled eggs. We take tortillas to space because bread creates tiny pieces. It's really fun. |
|
As we passed over North America, I could see Canada, the US, Mexico, and other parts of Latin America. It surprised me that I couldn't tell where one country ended and the next started. Borders are human-made. From up there, we're just one. | |
| A. When did you decide to be an astronaut? B. What did you love about space? C. What was your life like as a kid? D. What was it like to see the earth from space? E. What challenges did you face? |
任务 A∶补全信息。每空限填一词。任务 B∶编写一句广告语，完成问题。不超过10个词。
One evening, Grandad said, "I once had a friend called Day. His first name was Henry, but everyone called him Happy. Happy Day made a very good living. He had been to many places and when he came to a place that he liked, he opened a pet shop and began selling African Ghost Fish.
"According to Happy, these are the world's only invisible fish, and they're especially good pets because they don't need any food. Once a year, the female Ghost Fish lays eggs. Immediately after that, and if everything is completely quiet, she becomes visible. But in a blink (眨眼) of an eye, she's gone again. If you see her, you're extremely lucky for she's the most beautiful creature alive.
"When Happy told his customers this story, his tanks of fish sold very quickly. When they were completely sold out, Happy usually left for another town. "
"Was that because his customers were not satisfied?" We asked.
"Not at all, "Grandad said. "His customers were completely satisfied. Many people told him that they got great pleasure from their invisible fish. It was so relaxing. A few even claimed that they had seen a female Ghost Fish, and it was truly unforgettable. Yes, Happy was a clever man,"
"Can you tell us some more about him?" We said.
"Not now, "said Grandad. "I'm tired, and I want a nap (打盹) . Why don't you children go and watch the tank of Ghost Fish in my room? Remember, if you sit quietly and watch really closely, you might even see a female. "
As we rushed excitedly from the room, I heard Grandad whisper, "Thank you, Happy."
I wonder what he meant.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Lucy, a 20-year-old student from City College. I'm writing to express my wish to work as a volunteer (志愿者) for the 19th Asian Games.
I'm an active and friendly girl from China. I've learned English for 13 years and can speak English well. And I can also speak a little Japanese. I've been to many countries in Asia and know a lot about Asian cultures. So I'm able to communicate with people from all over the world. Besides, I have organized (组织) different kinds of activities both in the middle school and at the college. And I'm also a volunteer in my community. I believe these experiences make me the right person to be a volunteer for the Games.
My telephone number is 14237656789, and my email address is lucy@citycollege. com. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Lucy

Getting English Language Learners to Put Down the Books and Have Some Fun Even if there's so much about English that can be learned from a book or even in a traditional classroom setting, a lot of the language can still be learned best in more relaxing situations where students are having fun. Here are some suggestions.
★ Communicate with strangers. If you live in an area filled with English speakers, get students out of the classroom. Students may not speak to strangers, but they'll hear conversations taking place and may begin to understand how the words learnt in the classroom are actually used in everyday speech.
★Let their guard down. One difficult thing for learners is confidence（自信）when they speak English. Fun activities, especially those outside of the classroom, give students a chance to feel relaxed. It may take a bit of time at the beginning, but once students get into it, they'll start to get confidence.
★ Make use of English media (媒体). Most recorded language instruction is pretty boring and it can get tiring hearing the same voice repeat the same phrases. They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie. If they're not sure about something they hear, it can turn into a more formal lesson once back in the classroom.
★ Casual (随意的) conversations give learners the chance to hear or use English in situations. They can talk all they want about expressions to use while dining out or informal words to use with friends, but it takes a trip to McDonald's or a picnic in the park for many of those expressions to truly set in.
|
A. You can let students go to a movie in English. B. Put them among other English speakers. C. They may hate to speak English. D. Hear or use English in situations. E. They will speak more freely. |
Henry, I'd like to enter your Camp X-treme. （不超过10个单词）
Peter: Let's welcome Henry, the camp leader of the most popular summer camp in our city to Peter's Show!
Henry: Thank you, Peter!
Peter: Henry, why did you open up a camp?
Henry: Ten years ago, I spent thrce wecks at a summer camp and had the best time of my life. I remember every day I was there, and I still have friends from then. So, I decided I wanted other children to have the same experience as me.
Peter:
Henry:Well, after I left school, I worked at a few summer camps. I wasn't a camp leader then and I didn't get any money for it, but I learmed whai a good leader needs to do. So, when I opened my own summer camp seven years ago, I was ready to become a camp leader. Since then I've organized lots of unforgettable activities. The kids love it.
Peter:
Henry: Actually, it's easy to make such a decision. I will think about what kids want to learn from a summer camp. They want adventure and exciting activities, They want to go home and say"You won't believe what I did!"So, extreme sports were the best idca.
Peter:
Henry: Kids have been coming to my camp for many years now, and I hardly hear any kids or parents complain(抱怨）。 The only problem I have is when there are too many kids who want to join. I have to tell them to come back the following year. Of course, they aren't very happy with the news.
