Unit 2 There were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own

My hero - Dr Norman Bethune

By Wang Lingling

Norman Bethune is one of the most famous heroes in China. He was a Canadian doctor. He came to China to help the Chinese people and died for them.

Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916 and went to Spain in 1936 to treat the wounded soldiers during the war there. He soon realised that many people were dying because they did not get to hospital quickly enough. Dr Bethune developed new ways of taking care of the sick. He invented special medical tools to use outside hospitals and close to the fighting areas so that doctors could treat the wounded more quickly. His inventions saved many lives.

In 1938, Dr Bethune came to China and helped treat the wounded during the Anti- Japanese War. At that time, there were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own. His experience of treating people in Spain was useful in China. He developed training courses for local doctors and nurses, and wrote books so that they could learn about how he treated the sick.

Dr Bethune often worked very hard without resting or taking care of himself. Once, he even worked for sixty-nine hours without stopping and managed to save over a hundred lives. One day in 1939, he cut his finger during an operation, but he continued his work without treating it. In the end, he died of his wound.

Dr Bethune's work for the Chinese people made him a hero in China. There are many books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both China and Canada today.

So am I, but I can't miss two weeks of school.

Yes. Mum. l can look after myself, although it won't be easy for me.

Well, make sure you eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. And I've left lots of your

favourite biscuits.

Don't worry. I can cook simple meals.

There won't be anybody to wake you up in the morning.

I'll be fine. My clock rings so loudly that it will certainly wake me up. I'm sure I've forgotten something, but I don't know what it is!

Platform 2. Your train is about to leave.)

That's your train! Goodbye Mum, goodbye Dad. I know! I haven’t given you our address in Lhasa! Send me a text message. Have a good trip! Bye, my dear!

Unit 2 I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.

My \

As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did everything for me. Actually, they managed every minute of my life. Although they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. \ \ I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.

Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Now was my chance! I could have some fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked the games so much that I played until mid-night.

The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without breakfast, but I was still late. The teacher asked me for my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball with my classmates! I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long. When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped my father's cup when I was cooking! I found myself so bad at simple cooking tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wanted Mum and Dad to come home soon. Mum cooked such delicious food, and made sure I never forgot my homework. Dad always helped me with any difficult questions, and told funny jokes when I was unhappy. Then I realised being home alone was not always perfect.

When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my home alone story and we all laughed.

Module 5 Museums

Unit 1 Don’t cross that rope!

(Betty, Lingling and Daming are on the second floor of a museum.) Betty: What a wonderful museum!

Lingling: It's great, isn't it? Let's go to the Animal Room upstairs. I need some information for my

project.

Betty: Me too. Let's go. Wait, where's Daming? Lingling: There he is. What's he doing over there?

Daming : Hey, Betty! Lingling! Come and see the monkey exhibition! Guard: No shouting, please! It's against the rules. Betty: Oh, no! Daming is in trouble again.

Daming: Look at the monkey's tail! I've got to get in here…

Gard: Stop! Don't cross that rope! Can't you see the sign, kid? \Daming: Oh. Why not? Guard: Because it's closed. Lingling: Yes, Daming. Read the sign!

Daming : Oh, right. That's no good! Well, I'll just take a photo... Guard: Sorry. No photos. See?

Daming: There certainly are a lot of rules in this museum. No wonder the place is empty! Betty: Daming! Don't be rude! Lingling: Oh, no!

Betty: What's the matter, Lingling?

Lingling: My mobile phone! It’s missing! Oh, no! What am I going to do?

Guard: Don't worry, Miss. Go downstairs to the lost and found office. They might have it. Lingling: That phone is new! I have to find it, or Mum will punish me! Betty: I'm sure it will be all right, Lingling. Let's go and see. Daming： Yes, let's go downstairs.

Unit 2 If you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum

The Science Museum in London

By Tony Smith

Welcome to the most friendly museum in London. In most museums, there is no shouting and no running, and you must not touch anything. But the Science Museum is different... It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to all your questions about science, this is the right place for you.

I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors. You can learn about communications and the environment as well as maths, physics and chemistry. For example, you can find out how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one room they even explain how X-rays let you sec inside your body.

The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room, and it is my favourite too because there are lots of physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again.

On the fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. If you compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, you will feel very lucky next time you visit a doctor!

The Science Museum is interesting for people of all ages. You can always find something new and have a wonderful time there. The museum is free to enter, so you can go in for a few minutes or stay all day. It is open daily from10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It is my favourite museum in the whole world!
