Unit1 Great
explorations
Zheng He was born in Yunnan in 1371. He rose to become a trusted
official of the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor
ordered Zheng He to visit and explore the lands outside China. His
task was to develop relations and set up trade routes with foreign
countries. In a few years, he built a great fleet of ships, the
biggest in the world at that time. The ships were known as treasure
ships. They were big enough to carry 25,000 people as well as very
large quantities of goods.
From 1405 to 1433, Zheng He went on seven trips and visited
South-East Asia, the Middle East and even the east coast of Africa.
It seemed that nowhere was too far for him to visit. These voyages
allowed China to trade valuable goods like gold, silver and silk.
At the end of each voyage, Zheng He returned with many things that
were seen in China for the first time, such as a giraffe from
Africa. Besides developing trade, the voyages also encouraged the
exchange of cultures and technologies. They helped the development
of those countries and regions.
Zheng He died in 1433 during his last voyage. However, his voyages
were such a huge achievement that people still remember him as a
pioneer in opening up cultural contacts between different peoples
around the world.

The more practice
Marco Polo grew up in the city of Venice, in present-day Italy. In
1271, when he was 17 years old, he set off on a journey to Asia
with his father and uncle, and did not return home until 24 years
later. His travels took him across Asia, along the Silk Road and
throughout China. He loved Hangzhou so much that he described it as
“the finest city in the world”.
When Polo finally returned to Venice, there was a war and he was in
prison, he told the stories of his travels to another man there.
This man wrote the stories down in a book called The Travels of
Marco Polo. Because of the interesting descriptions of Asian life
in the book, Polo’s travels soon became well known in Europe.
The stories gave many Europeans their first look at the life and
culture of the people in Asia. Polo told of many amazing things
that were unknown to Europe, such as paper money. He also wrote
about China’s development, with its large cities and systems of
communication. His book made Europeans more and more interested in
the East. It also influenced many other explorers, including
Christopher Columbus. Polo died in 1324. His last words were: “I
did not tell half of what I saw.”

A
How "Kangaroo" Became an Animal's Name
Captain Cook pointed to the animal which was eating grass in the distance and asked his native guide what the animal was referred to. The guide seemed not to know what he was pointing at and finally said Kangaroo, which Cook carefully wrote down as the animal's name in his word book. The Europeans who later got to Australia were anxious to see the unusual animal "Kangaroo", but their requests were met with puzzled looks of the native people.

Most of middle school students agree that school life is rich and colorful and learning is very interesting and enjoyable .However, some of the students, either in cities or in the countryside feel tired of their study at school. It is a very serious problem in our society, but why?
Some of them think that education at school is useless, the subjects they learn have nothing to do with their interest or even their future .Little by little, they lose their interest in study or even get tired if it .In the end they find it too hard to go on with their study and finally lose confidence in their study and give it up.
In my opinion,
learning is very important on the life road to success for our
future .Marx told us that books are the ladders to progress for
mankind, so I think we should stick to our learning, however hard
it is or whatever difficulty we meet in our
life.
