Unit 6 France is calling

 

法国在召唤

 

Now that winter is behind us, many people are starting to think about going abroad for the summer holidays. This year, why not spread your wings and visit France?

 

 

冬天已经过去，很多人开始考虑暑假出国旅游的事了。今年，为何不远行去法国看看呢？

 

 

Paris is the capital of France. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. With its world-famous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, and its wide, tree-lined streets, Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

 

 

巴黎是法国的首都。这是世界上最为著名的旅游景点之一。拥有埃菲尔铁塔和凯旋门这样驰名于世的地标性建筑，以及绿树成荫的宽阔街道，巴黎不愧是世界上最美丽的城市之一。

 

 

If you are taking your children with you, remember that Euro Disney is just an hour away from the centre of Paris, It offers many of the same attractions as the Disney parks in the USA.

 

 

如果你带着孩子出游，记住欧洲迪斯尼乐园据巴黎市中心也只有一个小时的车程。如同美国迪斯尼乐园一般，它有着很多一样的游乐项目。

 

 

If you want to go on to visit Britain, you can now do it without flying or taking a ferry. The Channel Tunnel enables you to travel by train from Paris to London in about three hours.

 

 

如果你想去英国，你甚至不用飞行或者搭乘轮渡。从巴黎坐火车穿越英吉利海峡隧道，三小时左右就能抵达伦敦。

 

 

The centre of France is a big, agricultural region, growing crops such as wheat and sunflowers, and there are many vineyards. Farmers grow grapes there to make excellent wine. One of the most scenic areas is the Loire Valley, where you can visit the old castles in which the kings and queens of France used to live.

 

 

法国中部是大片的农业区，那里种植小麦和向日葵之类的农作物，还有很多葡萄园。卢瓦尔河山谷是风景最美的地方之一，在那里可以游览法国国王和王后曾经居住过的城堡。

 

 

France, like China, is famous for its food. In our city, we can see the influence of France in some ways. Some bakeries provide French bread and cakes. Other popular French products are cheese and wine.

 

 

和中国一样，法国也因食物而知名。我们城市中也可以看到在某些方面受到法国的影响。一些面包店提供面包和蛋糕，其他受欢迎的食品包括法国奶酪和葡萄酒。

 

 

France is a leader in art and culture too. A lot of young students from different countries go to France to further their studies. Every year, French film festivals, exhibitions and concerts are organized throughout the world.

 

 

法国同样是文化艺术的领头羊。很多来自不同国家的青年学生去法国深造。 每一年，法国电影节、各种展览个音乐会都会在世界范围内展开。

READING

 

1 My dad at home and at work

 He comes home, has a shower.

 And eats dinner, every day.

 Now, he’s sitting in his favourite chair.

 He's reading the paper

 And watching television.

 Soon he'll go to bed.

 He's a boring man, my dad.

 

And then one day I see him,

 On the building site, at work.

 He's high up, in the clouds, up in the air.

 He's making a building.

 He's fixing a crane, so clever.

 He's working higher than the birds,

 He's walking on a narrow plank,

 Not scared, not scared like me.

 He's a super man, my dad.

 

 

2 My school

 For your homework, write a poem.

 You said to us, Miss Li.

 I wrote these verses on my own,

 I hope you're pleased with me.

 

I want to talk about the school

 I loved when I was small.

 With lots of little boys and girls,

 Tow teachers and a hall.

 

Mr Black was sometimes cross:

“Silence! Pay attention!"

 He scolded pupils in his class,

 And put them in detention.

 

But Miss White was like you, Miss Li,

 She helped in every way.

 She loved chatting with her class,

 Her lessons seemed like play!

 

If you’re puzzled by my words,

 I can explain, Miss Li.

 The staff and students were not real.

 They're little dolls, you see

 

NOTES

 

 

1. Mr. Black was sometimes cross... 布莱克先生有时脾气不好…。…

句中的cross作形容词，意为“十分愤怒的；脾气不好的”。cr。ss也可作动词，意为“穿越；穿过”。，如：cross the r。ad（穿过马路）。

2. Silence Pay attention! 安静！请注意！

 句中的pay作动词，当和某些名词结合使用时，表示将要做或将付出某事物。在7B Unit 2 曾学过pay for the tickets，pay意为“付费”。

3. Her lessons seemed like play! 上她的课很轻松！

 句中的play作名词，意为“游戏；玩耍；娱乐”。play也可作动词，意为“玩耍；游戏”，如：

The little boy is playing with a toy plane．小男孩在玩一架玩具飞机。

 

MORE PRACTICE

 

Never a dull moment

 If you like to keep lively.

 If you hte being bored.

 Just come down to our house

 And knock on the door.

 

It's the noisiest house

 In the whole of our town.

 There's doors always slamming

 And thing falling down.

 

There's my dad,whos keeps shouting.

 And my mum,whos breaks things,

 The baby(who'll bite you!)

 And our dog running rings.

 

There's my sister the screamer

 And my brother who roars,

 And a grandpa who's stone deaf

 (He's the one who slams doors)

 

So come down to our house.

 You don't need the address.

 You'll hear it ten miles away

 And the outside's a mess.

 

You won't mind the racket,

 You'll just love the din --

 For there's never a dull moment

 In the house we live in!
