Unit 01

Unit 1 Page 12 READING Exercise 4 Surviving for SEVEN WEEKS Out in the Pacific Ocean, 500 km north of Samoa, lies a small group of islands called Tokelau. The population is only about 1400 people, but one day early in November 2010, 500 of them gathered for a memorial service for three teenagers. No one had seen 14-year-old Etueni Nasau, or his two 15-year-old cousins Samuel Pelesa and Filo Filo, for a month. Their boat was gone, too. When people realised that the three boys were missing, planes spent over three weeks trying to find them, but eventually they gave up. Their friends and relatives wept at their funeral service, believing that the boys were dead. But they would be proved wrong. In early October, the three boys had clambered into their small 3.5-metre boat because they felt like making a short trip to a neighbouring island. They had decided to take some coconuts and water with them, enough for a couple of days. Little did they know their journey would last over seven weeks. Not long after they headed out to sea, the boys lost sight of land and started to become disoriented. Then they ran out of fuel for their outboard motor, and started to drift. The boys knew right away that they could only sit,wait and hope. For days, they crouched in the boat under the fierce sun. Their water and coconuts quickly ran out. Sometimes, a small flying fish would fall into their boat and they would eat it, but this wasn't enough food for them. Once, a seabird landed on the boat – one of the boys leaped up and managed to grab it. They killed it and ate it, raw. At night there were often heavy rainstorms that threatened to overturn the boat, and the boys had to dive to the floor, holding on as hard as they could. But the storms also left a little rainwater in their canvas tarpaulin. This meant they had something to drink. They constantly kept watch for land or boats. One night, they saw the lights of a ship, but it was too far away to see them and they had no lights to attract attention. All they could do was watch as it continued to sail away. After several weeks, the night rains stopped. The boys were desperately thirsty, and, despite knowing the dangers of drinking seawater, they decided to sip some. Then, with perhaps only days, or even hours, to live, the thing they had been desperately hoping for, happened. A passing fishing boat spotted them and stopped to pick them up. The boys were very weak but they managed to stagger onto the fishing boat. They began to recover after having some water and some food. From the boat, Filo Filo phoned his father, who rushed to pass on to the other villagers the scarcely believable news that the boys were safe and sound. Tears were shed again, but this time they were tears of joy and gratitude.

第一单元 第12页阅读 练习4 存活七周 在萨摩亚以北500公里的太平洋上，有一小群名为托克劳的岛屿。 人口只有1400人左右， 但在2010年11月初的一天，他们中的500人聚集在一起为三名青少年举行追悼会。 没有人见过14岁的Etueni Nasau， 或者他两个15岁的堂兄塞缪尔·佩莱萨和费罗·菲洛，一起度过一个月。 他们的船也不见了。 当人们意识到三个男孩失踪时， 飞机花了三个多星期的时间试图找到他们，但最终他们放弃了。 他们的朋友和亲戚在葬礼上哭泣，认为男孩们已经死了。 但他们将被证明是错误的。 10月初，三个男孩爬上了他们3.5米长的小船 因为他们想去邻近的岛屿做一次短途旅行。 他们决定带些椰子和水，足够吃几天了。 他们几乎不知道他们的旅程会持续七个多星期。 在他们出海不久后，男孩们就看不见陆地，开始迷失方向。 然后，他们的舷外发动机燃料耗尽，开始漂移。 男孩们立刻知道，他们只能坐着，等待和希望。 他们在烈日下蹲在船上好几天。 他们的水和椰子很快就用完了。 有时，一条小飞鱼会掉进他们的船里，他们会吃掉它， 但这些食物不够他们吃。 有一次，一只海鸟降落在船上，其中一个男孩跳了起来，设法抓住了它。 他们杀了它，生吃了。 晚上经常有暴雨，有翻船的危险， 男孩们不得不跳到地板上，拼命地抓着。 但风暴也在他们的帆布防水布上留下了一点雨水。 这意味着他们有喝的东西。 他们不断地监视陆地或船只。 一天晚上，他们看到一艘船的灯光， 但太远了，看不见他们，也没有灯光来吸引注意力。 他们所能做的就是看着它继续航行。 几周后，夜雨停止了。 男孩子们渴得要命， 尽管知道喝海水的危险，他们还是决定喝一些。 然后，也许只有几天，甚至几个小时的生命， 他们迫切希望的事情发生了。 一艘路过的渔船发现了他们，停下来接他们。 男孩子们虽然很虚弱，但还是摇摇晃晃地爬上了渔船。 吃了一些水和食物后，他们开始康复。 费罗从船上给父亲打了电话， 他赶紧把孩子们安然无恙的消息告诉了其他村民。 泪水再次流下，但这次是喜悦和感激的泪水。 第13页项目 练习1 西蒙爬上冰面时可能已经死了。 乔独自蹑手蹑脚地穿过雪地。 3我们一直待到很晚；下雨时，我们立刻出发了。 4他们从山上下来，发现山就在城外。 5孩子们喜欢水沸腾时的喧闹声。 第13页项目 练习2 西蒙爬上冰面时可能已经死了。 乔独自蹑手蹑脚地穿过雪地。 3我们一直待到很晚；下雨时，我们立刻出发了。 4他们从山上下来，发现山就在城外。 5孩子们喜欢水沸腾时的喧闹声。

Page 15 LISTENING Exercise 6 & 7 Hello everyone. Well, here in Britain, it's exam time again – that time of the year when thousands of schoolkids sit their exams, and for many it's a very important time because, rightly or wrongly, the results of some exams, like A-levels, will determine whether they go to university or not, and what they'll do next. So, lots of stress around and here to talk about this stress and how to survive it is educational psychologist Janet Greaves. Hello. Janet, the build-up to exams, the days and weeks before the exams actually start – this is perhaps the most difficult part, isn't it? I mean, my exams were a few years ago, but I still remember having sleepless nights. Yes, me too! It's a difficult time in every young person's life. And a big question in the days before the exam is revision – how much, when, what kind and so on. Erm, I have to say that I didn't revise enough for my exams, so I didn't actually do very well. I really regret not taking it more seriously. But you survived, right? And you're doing OK? Yes, that's right, everyone knows that exam results aren't everything. Life is much more than that! But of course, exams are really important when you're doing them. Yes indeed. So what advice can we give young people who are about to take these exams? Well, I'd say don't forget to take care of yourself! Remember to eat regularly and well – that's the first thing. And make sure to get lots of sleep, too. Tiredness always makes stress worse. How much studying should they do? Well, that depends on all kinds of things. I think it's important to maintain a balance – study, do revision, sure, but keep doing things that you enjoy as well. And try to avoid comparing yourself with your friends – some of them will do more revision, some will do less. You have to do the right amount for you. That's interesting, because I tried revising together with my friends but it wasn't a great success. All that happened was, we made each other feel more desperate! Well, yes, that can happen. You know, I think it's nice to revise and study with your friends, but try not to get pulled into doing things in a way that doesn't suit you. One last piece of advice? OK – be flexible! It's good to have a revision timetable and try to stick to it – but if you oversleep one morning, that's OK – it's not the end of the world! Don't feel guilty! Absolutely. Well, I regret to say that we've run out of time. Janet, thanks for being with us. And good luck to all you exam-takers out there!

第15页列表 大家好。 好吧，在英国，又到了考试时间—— 一年中成千上万的小学生参加考试的时候， 对许多人来说，这是一个非常重要的时刻 因为，无论对错，一些考试的结果，比如A-levels， 将决定他们是否上大学，以及下一步要做什么。 所以，周围有很多压力，在这里谈谈这种压力 教育心理学家珍妮特·格里夫斯（Janet Greaves）认为，如何在这种情况下生存下去。 你好。 珍妮特，考试前的准备，考试开始前的几天和几周—— 这也许是最难的部分，不是吗？ 我的意思是，我的考试是几年前的事了，但我仍然记得有几个不眠之夜。 是的，我也是！ 这是每个年轻人生活中的艰难时期。 考试前几天的一个大问题是复习—— 多少，什么时候，什么种类等等。 嗯，我不得不说我复习得不够好，所以我实际上考得不好。 我真的很遗憾没有更认真地对待它。 但你活下来了，对吧？你还好吗？ 是的，没错， 每个人都知道考试成绩不是一切。 生活远不止于此！ 当然，考试在你做的时候真的很重要。 确实如此。 那么，我们能给即将参加这些考试的年轻人什么建议呢？ 好吧，我会说别忘了照顾好自己！ 记住要经常吃得好——这是第一件事。 也要保证充足的睡眠。 疲劳总是使压力更大。 他们应该做多少学习？ 嗯，这取决于各种各样的事情。 我认为保持平衡很重要—— 学习，复习，当然，但也要继续做你喜欢的事情。 尽量避免将自己与朋友进行比较—— 他们中的一些人会做更多的修改，一些人会少做一些。 你必须为你做适量的事情。 这很有趣，因为我试着和朋友一起复习，但没有取得很大的成功。 所发生的一切都是，我们让对方感到更加绝望！ 好吧，是的，这可能会发生。 你知道吗，我觉得和你的朋友一起复习和学习很好， 但尽量不要以不适合你的方式做事。 最后一条建议？ 好的，要灵活！ 有一个复习时间表并尽量坚持下去是件好事—— 但如果有一天早上你睡过头了，那也没关系——这不是世界末日！ 不要感到内疚！ 当然。 好吧，我很遗憾地说，我们没时间了。 珍妮特，谢谢你和我们在一起。 祝你们所有的考生好运！

Page 16 READING Exercise 7 How to SURVIVE in the WILDERNESS Miriam Lancewood, from the Netherlands, has a university degree, but she has no permanent address and no job. She doesn't have a car, or a computer or a mobile phone. She doesn't have a bed, or a clock or a mirror. And she's very happy this way. Miriam was living in New Zealand, in 2010, when she began to ask herself: could she survive a terrible natural disaster or a nuclear attack? Could she live without technology, electricity or other people? She decided that she didn't have the necessary skills or experience, so she and her husband Peter set off to live in the wilderness. They left their cottage, filled two 85-litre backpacks with some possessions and took 12 buckets of food to last the winter. And they've never looked back. Since then, they have lived right in the middle of the wilderness of New Zealand's North Island. They live mostly in a tent or unequipped hut, with occasional returns to a town if their supplies are low – Lancewood sometimes plays guitar and sings on the street to earn a little money. Otherwise, they don't need anything from anyone. In 2017, Miriam published a book – Woman in the Wilderness – which tells her story and recounts what she learned about nature, other people and herself. Life in the wilderness taught her how to manage with simple things, how to be alone, how to be bored, how to be afraid. She also talks about how she had to learn how to use a bow and arrow to hunt with, and the first time she killed a goat with one. Afterwards, she sat and cried because she had been brought up as a vegetarian. She and her husband ate the meat, because they did not want to waste a life and because it provided protein. Meat then became part of their diet. Miriam and her husband Peter met in India. They spent two months in the Himalayas, trekking and meeting people who lived very simply in the mountains. The lifestyle attracted them both and once they were back in New Zealand, the idea of living in the wilderness became a possibility and eventually a reality. She does not for one moment regret choosing this way of life. 'If people don't agree with the way I live, well, it doesn't matter, does it?' she says.

第16页阅读 练习7 如何在荒野中生存 来自荷兰的Miriam Lancewood拥有大学学位， 但她没有固定地址，也没有工作。 她没有车，也没有电脑或手机。 她没有床，没有钟，也没有镜子。 她这样很开心。 2010年，米里亚姆住在新西兰， 当她开始问自己：她能在可怕的自然灾害或核攻击中幸存下来吗？ 她能在没有技术、电力或其他人的情况下生活吗？ 她认为自己没有必要的技能或经验， 于是，她和丈夫彼得出发去旷野生活。 他们离开小屋，把两个85升的背包装满了一些东西 带了12桶食物过冬。 他们从未回头。 从那时起，他们就一直生活在新西兰北岛的荒野中。 他们大多住在帐篷或没有设备的小屋里， 如果补给不足，偶尔会返回城镇—— Lancewood有时会在街上弹吉他和唱歌来赚点钱。 否则，他们不需要任何人的任何东西。 2017年，米里亚姆出版了《荒野中的女人》一书 告诉了她的故事，讲述了她对自然、他人和自己的了解。 荒野的生活教会了她如何处理简单的事情， 如何独处，如何无聊，如何害怕。 她还谈到了她必须学会如何用弓箭狩猎， 她第一次用一只山羊杀死了一只山羊。 后来，她坐下来哭了，因为她从小就是素食主义者。 她和丈夫吃了肉，因为他们不想浪费生命 因为它提供了蛋白质。 肉类随后成为他们饮食的一部分。 米里亚姆和她的丈夫彼得在印度相识。 他们在喜马拉雅山度过了两个月的时间，徒步旅行，结识了在山区生活得非常简单的人。 这种生活方式吸引了他们俩，一旦他们回到新西兰， 在荒野中生活的想法成为了一种可能性，并最终成为了现实。 她一点也不后悔选择了这种生活方式。 如果人们不同意我的生活方式，那也没关系，不是吗？她说。

Page 18 DEVELOPING SPEAKING Exercise 1 & 2 Sunday afternoon ... I'm pretty bored. Same here. I think I'll just play some games on my phone. Oh, phone, phone, phone. You know what, Paloma? You're addicted to that phone! You're always using it for something or other. Of course I'm not addicted to it. I could stop using it right now if I wanted to! Really? OK, I challenge you, Paloma. I bet you can't survive three days without your phone. Seriously? Three days? That's too easy. You're on. OK then. You'll have to give me your phone, though, and promise not to use anyone else's either. No problem. You'll never manage to do this, Paloma, and you know it. Oh, I'll manage it, Ava, don't worry. And if I don't, we'll go to the burger place, you order whatever you want and I'll pay. Agreed? It's a deal! I can't believe I'm ... Oh, just a moment Ava. A message from Mary. Give me two seconds ... yes, replied. Sorry about that. Now, where were we? We were talking about you not using your mobile – until you started using your mobile! Oh, you're right! I'm having second thoughts about this challenge. I think you're probably right. I can't do it! I knew it! But we had a deal, so I still want my burger! Fair enough. Give me a shout when you know what day you want it.
