八年级英语（上）Unit 5-1 Educational exchanges（广深牛津版）_徐校长开讲

   A group of British students from Woodpark School in London are visiting Xinhua Junior High School in Beijing on an educational exchange.
    “I was very nervous at first,” says Sarah. “However, my host family are really friendly. I’m glad to be a guest in their home. I’ve learnt to use chopsticks, and they’re teaching me a little Chinese!”
    The students spend the weekdays studying with Chinese students. At the weekend, they tour around Beijing and visit places of interest with their host families.
    “It’s been a fantastic experience so far,” says Eric. “ I’ve learnt a bit of t’ai chi, and I really enjoy it. We’ve already learnt a lot about Chinese culture and history. The teachers have introduced us to Chinese painting as well. We’ll also tried to paint some pictures ourselves! I haven’t had much success yet, but I’ll keep trying.”
   “I’ve made many new friends,” says Sarah.”I plan to keep in touch with them when I return home. We’ll see one another soon because they’ll come over to the UK for the second part of the exchange next month. I can’t wait!”
教育交流
交换访问有教育意义，并且很有趣!
一批来自伦敦Woodpark学校的英国学生正在一次教育交流中访问北京新华初中学校。 “一开始我很紧张,”莎拉说。“不过,我的寄宿家庭真的很友好。我很高兴成为他们家里的一个客人。我已学会了用筷子,并且他们正在教我一些汉语!”
学生们平日和中国学生一起学习。周末,他们到北京周边旅游，和他们的寄宿家庭一起参观名胜古迹。
“迄今为止都是一个奇妙的经历”，埃里克说。“我已经学会了太极拳,,我真的很喜欢它。我们已经学到了很多关于中国文化和历史。老师还向我们介绍中国画。我们还将尝试自己画一些画!我还没有取得成功,但我会继续努力。”
“我已交了许多新朋友,”莎拉说。“我打算当我回到家与他们保持联系,。我们很快就能见到彼此,因为他们将在下个月第二部分交流的时候来英国。我等不及了!”

阅读理解

Reader’s Digest is a monthly magazine. Before the 1980s, it belonged to a privatelyheld company, which was started in 1922 by Lila Bell Wallace and Dewitt Wallace. This magazine is small and easy to carry, just half the size of most American magazines, which caused a phrase in 2005, “America in your pocket.” It is the bestselling magazine in the USA. At present, its circulation(发行量） in the USA has reached 10 million copies and the number of the readers there is 38 million. Its global circulation outside the USA has reached 40 million people throughout more than 70 countries in 21 languages.

This magazines focus(焦点） is not news but more of cultural views because the editors think people now can get timely news from somewhere else. They hope this magazine can give readers something that is about special personal experiences, something the readers can share with their families. In different countries, this magazine provides a window to the world for the local readers. Some parts of the magazine are about the local customs and interests of the local readers. The other parts give the local readers information from all over the world.

This magazine actually used to be a family business until the Wallaces died in the 1980s. Because they had no children, there was no one to take over the company. Sixteen years ago, this company went public and became a public company.

( )1 How often does Readers Digest come out in the USA?

A. Once a year. B. Once a month. C. Once a week. D. Once a day.

( )2 Whats the number of the readers of this magazine all over the world?

A. 38 million. B. 40 million. C. 78 million. D. 108 million.

( )3 This magazine’s focus includes the following topics except .

A. something about the timely news

B. some special personal experiences

C. some information from all over the world

D. the local customs and interests of the local readers

The family planning policy （“计划生育”政策） was introduced in 1979 to solve the population problems. Most couples could have only one child except some special families and those in some special areas.

Usually, allaround good student, which was called “thricegood”, was given to the students who were virtuous(品德高尚的）, talented and good at PE. It was firstly used in to 1950s by Mao to encourage young people to keep fit, study well and work hard.

During the early 1990s, stateowned company reforms(国有企业改革）were getting tough. The workers were more than the jobs in most of the cities. Many workers were losing their jobs. “Jobless” was a hot topic at that time, so the leaders hoped the laidoff workers could find new jobs or start up their own business.

One of Dengs clever ideas, “one country, two systems”, was first performed in 1997. It described Hong Kong and Macao’s situation after they returned to China. This policy would also be suitable for Taiwan. There would be one China, but Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan could have their own economies and political systems.

Lei Feng was a soldier who was happy to help others. He died in an accident in 1962. On March 5th,1963, Mao wrote a piece, “Learn from comrade Lei Feng”, to say the Chinese should help others when necessary. After that, March 5th became a Volunteer Day.

The phrase “harmonious society” appeared in 2004, referring to a peaceful society where all people would work together to make the life better. This idea has become the main goal of the Chinese Communist Party now.

( )1. The first paragraph is mainly talking a bout .

A. the population of China B. the only child in China

Many years before the United States was founded(建立), Americans had already invented barbecues. But the first barbecues, in fact ,were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames(架子)of sticks over fires. Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa, and as time passed, English settlers along the Atlantic coat had their own barbecues.

One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynde, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his diary, “Fair and hot ; Browne;hack overset.” That is , on a bright and hot day he went to the Brownes to attedn a barbecue, and his carriage(马车)fell over. It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that time. Large animals would be roasted whole on frames over hot fires, and neighbours would be invited to dinner.

In later centuries, as settlers moved to the west, the barbecue went along with it, reaching an especially large size in Texas, where a pit (坑)for fuels(燃料) such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep. Today , the barbecue grills(烧烤架)which are fueled by charcoal(木炭) or electricity are likely to be small and easy to move , and can cook only parts of an animal at a time, but people still have barbecues out of doors and always invite their neighbours or friends over.

1.Who invented the barbecues first in history?

A.American people. B.Taino Indians.

C.Spanish explorers. D.English settlers.

2.The second paragraph mainly tells us that the barbecue_______________.

A.is only held on a hot sunny day

4.The following are all the barbecue ways EXCEPT __________________.

A. drying meat on raised frames of sticks over fires

B. roasting a whole animal over a pit full of burning tree branches

C.cooking parts of animals over fires on grills fueled by charcoal

D.heating meat in the bright and hot daylight
