WELCOME Page 4 Exercise 1 So, did you see that story about the plane that crashed into the ocean? No, I didn't. What happened? Well, this guy set off from Florida in his plane – a small one, only one engine – to go to New Orleans. Wow – that's a long way. Right, and it's usually too far for a plane like that, but he had added extra fuel tanks. However, after he had begun his journey, he realised he didn't have enough fuel to carry on flying, so he radioed New Orleans and told them that he was in trouble. He told them he had to land the plane in the sea. In the sea? Yes, there was a fishing boat not far away that was able to pick the pilot up. But here's the incredible thing – and you can see it in a video. The plane had a parachute, but it didn't work and the plane started to dive towards the sea! But then almost at the last minute, the parachute pulled the plane horizontal, just before it hit the water. The impact almost destroyed the plane. And the pilot? He was OK. He managed to get out of the plane and into a life raft from the fishing boat. Then the people from the fishing boat came and pulled him out of the raft and took him to the ship. He wasn't injured, so he didn't end up in hospital or anything. Now they're trying to find out what went wrong. Wow – I'd have been so scared if I'd been in that plane. I'd have screamed really loudly!

欢迎 第4页练习1 那么，你看到那架坠入大海的飞机的故事了吗？ 不，我没有。发生什么事了？ 嗯，这家伙从佛罗里达州乘飞机出发了—— 一个小的，只有一个引擎——去新奥尔良。 哇，那是一段很长的路。 是的，对于这样的飞机来说，这通常太远了，但他增加了额外的油箱。 然而，在他开始旅程之后， 他意识到自己没有足够的燃料继续飞行， 于是他用无线电给新奥尔良打电话，告诉他们他有麻烦了。 他告诉他们他必须把飞机降落在海里。 在海里？ 是的，不远处有一艘渔船可以接飞行员。 但这是令人难以置信的事情——你可以在视频中看到。 这架飞机有降落伞， 但它不起作用，飞机开始向大海俯冲！ 但几乎在最后一刻， 就在飞机坠入水中之前，降落伞将其水平拉动。 撞击几乎摧毁了飞机。 飞行员呢？ 他没事。 他设法下了飞机，从渔船上爬上救生筏。 然后，渔船上的人来了，把他从木筏上拉下来，带到船上。 他没有受伤，所以他没有住院或做任何事情。 现在他们正试图找出问题所在。 哇，如果我在那架飞机上，我会很害怕的。 我会大声尖叫的！

Page 6 Exercise 1 So, Jordan, have you thought about which university you want to go to yet? I told you, Mum – I'm not so sure that I want to go to university. But if you get a good degree, you'll be guaranteed a secure future. You know, perhaps in ten years' time, you'll be managing a huge company! But that's just it, Mum – I don't want to manage a big company, or a small company either. I don't want to spend 40 years doing that, then retire and wonder where my life went. That's not the future I want – I think. Well, so what are you going to do when you leave school then? I'm not sure yet. Maybe work, save a bit of money and then travel the world for a few months, you know, get some life experience. Well, that won't do you much good. In this day and age, employers want people with work experience, not travel experience. Well, maybe you're right, Mum. But even so, I want some time for myself before I think about settling down. There's nothing wrong with settling down. That's what your father and I did. I know, Mum and that's fine – it was fine for you and Dad, back in the last century. But the world's different now and people have such different aims, ideas, everything! Yes, I suppose so. You're right. But don't worry, Mum. I mean, I'd like to start a family at some point. So you'll be playing with your grandchildren one day – I hope. Well, I'm delighted to hear that, Jordan!

第6页练习1 那么，乔丹，你有没有想过你想去哪所大学？ 我告诉过你，妈妈——我不太确定我是否想上大学。 但如果你获得了一个好学位，你将有一个安全的未来。 你知道，也许十年后，你将管理一家大公司！ 但就这样，妈妈——我既不想管理大公司，也不想管理小公司。 我不想花40年时间做这件事，然后退休，想知道我的生活去了哪里。 这不是我想要的未来——我想。 那么，你毕业后打算做什么？ 我还不确定。 也许工作，省点钱 然后环游世界几个月，你知道，获得一些生活经验。 好吧，那对你没什么好处。 在这个时代，雇主想要有工作经验的人，而不是有旅行经验的人。 好吧，也许你是对的，妈妈。 但即便如此，在我考虑安定下来之前，我还是想给自己一些时间。 安定下来没什么问题。 这就是你父亲和我所做的。 我知道，妈妈，这很好——在上个世纪，这对你和爸爸来说都很好。 但现在世界不同了，人们有如此不同的目标、想法、一切！ 是的，我想是的。你说得对。 但别担心，妈妈。 我的意思是，我想在某个时候组建一个家庭。 所以，我希望有一天你会和你的孙子们一起玩。 好吧，我很高兴听到这个消息，乔丹！

Page 8 Exercise 1 & 2 Conversation 1 What's the matter with you? Didn't you see? I held the door open for that elderly lady; I let her go through in front of me. Yes, I saw that. It was very thoughtful of you. Very kind. But she just walked past me and didn't say 'thank you'. She didn't even look at me! It's so rude, I think. Oh, you shouldn't get so worked up. She was probably just thinking about something else. Conversation 2 Hi, Jack. Here are your headphones. My headphones! I've been looking for them. So, you took them? Yes – sorry, I should have asked you, I know, but ... Well, give them back. You're not allowed to take my things without asking! OK. I'm sorry. But you don't have to be so unfriendly, do you? Conversation 3 I'm so upset. I just heard that Paul, one of my best friends, is going to move to Canada. Oh, that's a shame. But never mind, you've got other friends, haven't you? Yes, I know, but I'm going to miss him a lot. He's really fun to hang out with. Well, you don't have to lose touch with him, do you? You can Skype. That's right. And perhaps my parents will let me go and visit him sometime.

对话1 你怎么了？ 你没看见吗？ 我为那位老太太把门打开； 我让她从我面前走过。 是的，我看到了。 你真是考虑周到。非常善良。 但她只是从我身边走过，没有说“谢谢”。 她甚至都没看我一眼！ 我觉得这太粗鲁了。 哦，你不应该这么激动。 她可能只是在想别的事情。 对话2 嗨，杰克。 这是你的耳机。 我的耳机！我一直在找他们。 所以，你把它们拿走了？ 是的，对不起，我应该问你的，我知道，但是。.. 好吧，把它们还给我。 你不能不问就拿走我的东西！ 好的，对不起。 但你不必这么不友好，是吗？ 对话3 我很沮丧。 我刚刚听说我最好的朋友之一保罗要搬到加拿大去。 哦，太可惜了。 但没关系，你还有其他朋友，不是吗？ 是的，我知道，但我会非常想念他。 和他在一起真的很有趣。 好吧，你不必和他失去联系，是吗？ 你可以Skype。 这是正确的。 也许我父母什么时候会让我去看望他。

Page 10 Exercise 1 & 2 You said it opened at eight o'clock. And I was wrong! I'm sorry. Don't be so impatient. It'll be open very soon. I already wish I hadn't come. Oh, come on, Tom. We agreed didn't we? You said that you were fed up with your unhealthy lifestyle. True. And then you persuaded me that the best thing to do was exercise. Right. And I encouraged you to come with me to the leisure centre, and you agreed, so here we are. We're going to work out for a while and then you'll feel great. I always feel uncomfortable sports gear. I've got thin legs. Oh, stop complaining, Tom. There's nothing wrong with your legs. I asked you what should wear and you said shorts. But I look terrible! Look, no one here cares – everyone is completely unconcerned about what other people look like, they're all too busy doing exercise. That's completely untrue! Tom, I'm beginning to wish hadn't invited you. Oh, look, it's opening. Come on then, let's go in and start.

你说它八点钟开门。 我错了！对不起 别这么不耐烦。它很快就会开放。 我早就希望我没来了。 哦，得了吧，汤姆。 我们说好了，不是吗？ 你说你受够了不健康的生活方式。 没错。然后你说服我，最好的办法就是锻炼。 正确的我鼓励你和我一起去休闲中心，你同意了，所以我们到了。 我们要锻炼一段时间，然后你会感觉很好。 我总是觉得运动装备不舒服。 我的腿很瘦。 哦，别抱怨了，汤姆。 你的腿没什么毛病。 我问你应该穿什么，你说穿短裤。 但我看起来很糟糕！ 看，这里没有人关心—— 每个人都完全不关心别人长什么样， 他们都忙于锻炼。 这完全是不真实的！ 汤姆，我真希望没有邀请你。 哦，看，开门了。 来吧，我们进去开始吧。
