Unit 10 Page 92 READING exercise 6 8,000 BIRDS TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE Phoebe Snetsinger had just returned from a trip to Alaska when her doctors told her that she had cancer. She had less than a year to live. Phoebe was 50. As soon as she heard the news, she decided to spend the rest of her life doing what she loved most – watching birds. Phoebe's interest in birdwatching started in Minneapolis. Then she moved to Missouri with her family. There she joined a group of people who were interested in birds, insects and plants around the Mississippi River. She became very worried about pollution and its impact on the environment. 'We have to protect nature,' she said. 'If we don't, future generations won't be able to enjoy watching these beautiful birds.' When Phoebe found out she had cancer, she immediately went off to some of the world's most amazing natural paradises. Her trips were extremely hard, but Phoebe surprised her doctors and her family as she carried on travelling. A year came and went, and she was still alive. She was doing something that she loved. This helped her remain healthy for another ten years. The cancer came back, but even then Phoebe Snetsinger decided not to stop. As she continued with her trips, the cancer went away again. By now she was becoming internationally famous in the birdwatching world. At the age of 61, when she had seen 7,530 species, she was named 'the world's leading bird-spotter' by the Guinness Book of Records. Four years later, during a trip to Mexico, she set a new record when she spotted species number 8,000: the very rare Rufous-necked Wood-Rail. Snetsinger had become a legend. Nobody had spotted so many different bird species before. In fact, at that time only 12 people around the world had seen more than 7,000 species of birds! Sadly, when Phoebe was 68, she died in a car accident on the island of Madagascar. She was there enjoying the hobby that had probably saved her life. She had been there for two weeks and had added another five to her list of over 8,400 species. Four years after she died, the American Birding Association published her memoirs, Birding on Borrowed Time. Many people have enjoyed reading this moving book. It isn't just a story about a bird-spotter's travels, but a touching human document of how her hobby helped her to live much longer than expected.

第十单元 第92页 阅读练习6 在你死之前要看8000只鸟 Phoebe Snetsinger刚从阿拉斯加旅行回来，医生告诉她患了癌症。 她只剩下不到一年的生命了。菲比50岁了。 她一听到这个消息，就决定用余生做她最喜欢的事情——观鸟。 菲比对观鸟的兴趣始于明尼阿波利斯。 然后她和家人搬到了密苏里州。 在那里，她加入了一群对密西西比河周围的鸟类、昆虫和植物感兴趣的人。 她非常担心污染及其对环境的影响。 她说，我们必须保护自然。 “如果我们不这样做，后代将无法欣赏这些美丽的鸟类。” 当菲比发现自己得了癌症时，她立刻去了世界上最神奇的自然天堂。 她的旅行非常艰难，但菲比在继续旅行时让她的医生和家人感到惊讶。 一年过去了，她还活着。 她正在做她喜欢的事情。 这帮助她在接下来的十年里保持健康。 癌症又回来了，但即便如此，Phoebe Snetsinger还是决定不停下来。 当她继续旅行时，癌症又消失了。 到目前为止，她在观鸟界已经享誉国际。 61岁时，她看到了7530种物种， 她被吉尼斯世界纪录称为“世界领先的鸟类观察者”。 四年后，在一次墨西哥之旅中，她发现了8000个物种，创下了新纪录： 非常罕见的皱颈木栏杆。 Snetsinger已经成为了一个传奇。 以前没有人发现过这么多不同的鸟类。 事实上，当时全世界只有12个人见过7000多种鸟类！ 不幸的是，当菲比68岁时，她在马达加斯加岛的一场车祸中丧生。 她在那里享受着可能救了她一命的爱好。 她在那里呆了两周，在8400多种物种的名单上又增加了五种。 她去世四年后，美国观鸟协会出版了她的回忆录《借来的时间观鸟》。 许多人喜欢读这本感人的书。 这不仅仅是一个关于观鸟者旅行的故事， 但这是一份感人的人类文件，记录了她的爱好如何帮助她比预期活得更久。

Page 95 LISTENING exercise 7 and 8 Hi Jackie. Fancy meeting you here! Where are you off to? Hey Lucas. The gym at the shopping centre. I'm going to work out for an hour or two. What? Running on the treadmill and stuff? That's right. I love it. Put the headphones on and get running. Then some weights. I feel much better afterwards, so I go to the gym every week. Come on, Lucas. Walk with me a bit. OK, sure. You know, I tried a gym a while ago – very expensive, to be honest, and I didn't really enjoy it. I just don't like exercise much. That's OK. There are so many things you can do to keep in shape. What we're doing now, for example. Walking? Absolutely. You should walk as much as you can and sometimes walk quite fast, it's really good exercise. It's good for your heart, your legs ... everything! OK, let's walk a little faster! Let's! But if I remember rightly, you like dancing, too. I love it! There you go – great for keeping fit. And it's so much fun. Right. It's a great combination – doing something you really, really love and working out at the same time. I guess so. I'd never thought of that. Oh, here we are at the shopping centre. I'll come in with you, OK? Sure. The gym's on the second floor. Hey, Lucas, no! Don't do that! What? Don't take the escalator; walk up the stairs. More exercise. And actually it's quicker! Come on – it's only two floors. Well actually, Jackie, I think I'm going to have a coffee and a piece of cake. On this floor! Well, then definitely use the stairs! But if you do order cake, eat it sitting down, don't eat and walk, that's one of the worst things people do. Why? Well, I read somewhere that if you eat and walk at the same time, the food doesn't do you so much good. And so, you feel hungry again before very long. Oh? And actually it's nicer to eat sitting down, isn't it? But hey, Jackie, before you go, give me one tip, one simple thing to do to keep in shape. OK. Every day, at least two or three times, do 'the invisible chair'. Huh? Start by using a wall – put your back against the wall and slide down a bit. Imagine you're sitting on a chair and the wall is the back of the chair. Hold the position for two minutes – if you can! And when you get better at it, do the invisible chair without a wall. What's so good about doing that? Well, it makes your legs stronger, and it helps your back muscles too. Well, I'll think about it! Have fun at the gym – bye!

第95页 听力练习7和8 嗨，杰基。真想不到在这里见到你！你要去哪里？ 嘿，卢卡斯。购物中心的健身房。 我要锻炼一两个小时。 什么？在跑步机上跑步之类的？ 这是正确的。我喜欢它。 戴上耳机，开始跑步。 然后是一些重量。之后我感觉好多了，所以我每周都去健身房。 来吧，卢卡斯。和我一起走一会儿。 好的，当然。 你知道吗，我前一段时间试过健身房——说实话，很贵，但我真的不喜欢。 我只是不太喜欢运动。 没关系。你可以做很多事情来保持身材。 例如，我们现在正在做的事情。 行走？当然。 你应该尽可能多地走路，有时走得很快，这真的是很好的锻炼。 这对你的心脏和腿都有好处。…一切！ 好的，我们走快点吧！让我们！ 但如果我没记错的话，你也喜欢跳舞。 我喜欢！好了，非常适合保持健康。 而且很有趣。正确的 这是一个很好的组合——做你真正喜欢的事情，同时锻炼身体。 我想是的。我从没想过。 哦，我们到了购物中心。我跟你进去，好吗？ 当然。健身房在二楼。 嘿，卢卡斯，不要！不要那样做！什么？ 不要乘坐自动扶梯；走上楼梯。多锻炼。 事实上，它更快！ 得了吧，只有两层楼。 实际上，杰基，我想我要喝杯咖啡，吃块蛋糕。在这层楼！ 那么，一定要走楼梯！ 但如果你点了蛋糕，坐着吃，不要边吃边走，这是人们做的最糟糕的事情之一。 为什么？嗯，我在某个地方读到，如果你同时吃饭和走路， 这食物对你没什么好处。不久之后，你又会感到饥饿。 哦？其实坐着吃会更好，不是吗？ 但是，嘿，杰基，在你走之前，给我一个建议，一件简单的事情来保持身材。 好的。每天至少做两三次“看不见的椅子”。嗯？ 从使用墙壁开始——把你的背靠在墙上，滑下来一点。 想象一下，你坐在椅子上，墙是椅子的背面。 保持这个姿势两分钟——如果可以的话！ 当你做得更好时，做一把没有墙的隐形椅子。 这样做有什么好处？ 嗯，它使你的腿更强壮，也有助于你的背部肌肉。 好吧，我会考虑的！在健身房玩得开心——再见！

Page 96 READING exercise 7 and 8 3D PRINTIING IT CAN CHANGE LIVES Prosthetics are artificial body parts. They're used by doctors to replace limbs [arms or legs] that are missing or have been damaged. For years, scientists had been making the prosthetics out of metal – steel at first, then lighter materials later. Recently, people have been using 3D printers to make prosthetics. Here are two stories of how lives were changed by 3D-printed prosthetics. A When Millie the greyhound was a puppy, she was in an accident and she lost her left front paw. Her first owner left her at a rescue centre, where Ed and Nora Dieppe found her and took her home. So that Millie could walk, her new owners put a prosthetic on her leg, but Millie soon wore it down and they had to replace it. Ed and Nora bought another prosthetic, but they soon had to replace that one, too. After a few years, they had spent over $10,000 on prosthetics. They wanted to help Millie, but they had to find a different way to do it. Ed works as an architect. He had been working for some time with 3D modelling, and he had an idea. He talked to a company that helped him design a paw that would fit Milie perfectly. They then printed the leg using a 3D printer. They had to make two or three before the leg fitted perfectly, but soon they had a leg for Millie to wear. Now Millie can run around like other dogs, and if her leg wears out, Ed and Nora can just print a new one for her. B Stephen Davies was born without the lower part of his left arm. When he was at school, he wore a prosthetic, which he hated, so for many years he didn't wear a prosthetic at all. One day, he looked at what prosthetic arms were available. He saw that they hadn't changed much from when he was a boy. You could buy better ones, but they were extremely expensive. That's OK for adults as they can use the same prosthetic arm for years. Children, though, need to change their prosthetic arm every few months because they grow so quickly. Stephen decided to do something. He had been creating lots of inventions in his garden shed. He had read that it was possible to print light, 3D prosthetics and he wondered if he could make them himself. He experimented with simple but very colourful arms and legs. He discovered that he could make good prosthetic limbs quite cheaply. Now he and his business partner produce 'cool' limbs. Their company is called Team UnLimbited, and they give prosthetics away to children who need them (they ask for money on the internet to help with the costs of making the limbs). One of the first kids to get a 'cool' limb was nine-year-old Isabella Jennings. She had been waiting all her life for something like this. A video of her using the prosthetic arm for the first time was put on YouTube. It was watched by more than 2 millin people. Page 97 PRONUNCIATION exercise 1 Welcome back to the show.

第96页 阅读练习7和8 3D打印可以改变生活 假肢是人造身体部位。 医生用它们来替换缺失或受损的四肢。 多年来，科学家们一直在用金属制造假肢—— 首先是钢，然后是更轻的材料。 最近，人们一直在使用3D打印机制作假肢。 以下是两个关于3D打印假肢如何改变生活的故事。 A当灰狗米莉还是小狗的时候，她出了事故，失去了左前爪。 她的第一个主人把她留在了一个救援中心，Ed和Nora Dieppe在那里找到了她并把她带回家。 为了让米莉能走路，她的新主人给她的腿装上了假肢， 但米莉很快就把它弄坏了，他们不得不更换。 埃德和诺拉又买了一个假肢，但他们很快也不得不更换。 几年后，他们在假肢上花费了1万多美元。 他们想帮助米莉，但他们必须找到一种不同的方法。 Ed是一名建筑师。 他已经从事3D建模工作一段时间了，他有了一个想法。 他与一家公司进行了交谈，该公司帮助他设计了一只完全适合米利的爪子。 然后，他们使用3D打印机打印了腿。 他们必须做两三个，腿才能完美贴合， 但很快，他们就有了一条腿给米莉穿。 现在米莉可以像其他狗一样到处跑了，如果她的腿磨损了， Ed和Nora可以为她打印一个新的。 B.斯蒂芬·戴维斯天生没有左臂下部。 当他在学校的时候，他戴着一个他讨厌的假肢， 所以很多年来，他根本没有戴假肢。 有一天，他查看了可用的假肢。 他发现他们和他小时候相比没有太大变化。 你可以买更好的，但它们非常昂贵。 这对成年人来说是可以的，因为他们可以使用同一个假肢多年。 不过，孩子们需要每隔几个月更换一次假肢，因为他们长得很快。 斯蒂芬决定做点什么。 他在花园的棚屋里创造了许多发明。 他读到有可能打印出光3D假肢 他想知道自己能不能自己做。 他尝试了简单但色彩丰富的胳膊和腿。 他发现他可以相当便宜地制造出好的假肢。 现在，他和他的商业伙伴生产出了“酷”的四肢。 他们的公司名为“无肢团队”，他们为需要假肢的儿童免费提供假肢 （他们在网上要钱来帮助支付制作四肢的费用）。 9岁的伊莎贝拉·詹宁斯是首批获得“酷”肢体的孩子之一。 她一生都在等待这样的事情。 她第一次使用假肢的视频被上传到了YouTube上。 超过200万人观看了这场比赛。 第97页 拨款练习1 欢迎回到节目。今天我们和厨师米切尔在厨房里。 你好。在这个演示中，我正在做一道特别的俄罗斯菜。 大家请仔细观看，我们的厨师米切尔正在制作您在这张照片中看到的菜肴。 帕特里夏，我切樱桃的时候，请把烤箱调到合适的温度。.. 现在我们加糖了，但你不应该用太多！ 现在它已经准备好烘烤了。 这是一个完成的！味道好极了！ 第97页 拨款练习3 欢迎回到节目。今天我们和厨师米切尔在厨房里。 你好。在这个演示中，我正在做一道特别的俄罗斯菜。 大家请仔细观看，我们的厨师米切尔正在制作您在这张照片中看到的菜肴。 帕特里夏，我切樱桃的时候，请把烤箱调到合适的温度。.. 现在我们加糖了，但你不应该用太多！ 现在它已经准备好烘烤了。 这是一个完成的！味道好极了！

Page 98 Culture exercise 2 KEEP INSHAPE WITHOUT GOING TO THE GYM! Most people would like to be in good shape, but maybe without having to buy membership to a gym or go out cycling in all kinds of weather. There are so many different options these days to keep fit, while doing something you enjoy. Here are three of our favourites. 1 PARKRUN Running is, of course, great exercise. Back in 2004, a group of 13 runners near London decided to meet up in their local park on Saturday mornings, every week, and run five kilometres. This has grown into an organisation known as ParkRun – and now there are ParkRun events in over twenty countries. In 2018, there were on average about 250,000 people running five kilometres in 1,500 events worldwide every Saturday. Anyone can register to run: you do it online, and then turn up. Everyone's position and time is recorded, but even though it's a race, a ParkRun event is more about promoting good health and a sense of community. ParkRun is about everyone running 5 km, every week, for free, and forever. 2 ZUMBA In the mid-1990s, a Colombian dancer called Beto Perez devised a workout programme that was a mixture of aerobics and dancing. He called it Zumba, and it has become an enormous worldwide success. It is said that more than 15 million people in over 180 countries do Zumba regularly. There are several different forms of Zumba. These can be very easy to do or very strenuous indeed! Because of this, almost anyone of any age can do Zumba. It's an excellent way to keep fit and lose weight. Zumba helps to make muscles stronger, to improve posture – and it's a great way to make new friends, too. And if you can't get to a class, there is, of course, an app that lets you take part in Zumba wherever you are. 3 CAPOEIRA Another activity that mixes dance and exercise is capoeira. It is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that has become increasingly popular around the world. Capoeira was developed in Brazil in the 16th century. African slaves who had been brought to Brazil used it as a way to practise a martial art in secret. Because it is always performed to music, slave owners thought it was a dance. To the steady rhythm of the music from a berimbau (a type of string instrument played with a bow), two people perform a series of kicks and flips, but without ever actually touching each other – at least, not intentionally! It is a demanding form of fitness activity that needs strength and balance and can be done by people of all ages.

第98页 文化练习2 不去健身房保持身材！ 大多数人都希望身体健康， 但也许不必购买健身房会员资格，也不必在各种天气下骑自行车。 现在有很多不同的选择来保持健康，同时做你喜欢的事情。 这里有三个我们最喜欢的。 1个公园跑道 跑步当然是很好的锻炼。 早在2004年，伦敦附近就有13名跑步者 决定每周六早上在当地公园见面，每周跑五公里。 这已经发展成为一个名为ParkRun的组织，现在ParkRun活动在20多个国家举行。 2018年，平均约有25万人 每周六在全球1500场比赛中跑5公里。 任何人都可以注册跑步：你在网上做，然后出现。 每个人的位置和时间都会被记录下来，但即使这是一场比赛， ParkRun活动更多的是为了促进健康和社区意识。 ParkRun是关于每个人每周免费、永远跑5公里。 2尊巴 20世纪90年代中期，一位名叫贝托·佩雷斯的哥伦比亚舞者 设计了一个有氧运动和舞蹈相结合的锻炼计划。 他称之为Zumba，它在全球范围内取得了巨大的成功。 据说，180多个国家的1500多万人经常做尊巴舞。 尊巴有几种不同的形式。 这些可以很容易做到，也可以非常费力！ 因此，几乎任何年龄段的人都可以做尊巴。 这是保持健康和减肥的好方法。 尊巴有助于增强肌肉，改善姿势—— 这也是结交新朋友的好方法。 如果你不能去上课， 当然，有一个应用程序可以让你随时随地参加Zumba。 卡波耶拉3号 另一项将舞蹈和运动相结合的活动是卡波耶拉。 这是一种非洲裔巴西武术，在世界各地越来越受欢迎。 卡波耶拉于16世纪在巴西发展起来。 被带到巴西的非洲奴隶将其作为秘密练习武术的一种方式。 因为它总是伴随着音乐表演，奴隶主认为这是一种舞蹈。 随着berimbau（一种用弓演奏的弦乐器）音乐的稳定节奏， 两个人进行一系列踢腿和翻转， 但从未真正接触过对方——至少，不是故意的！ 这是一种要求很高的健身活动 这需要力量和平衡，所有年龄段的人都可以做到。
