听力原文listening and speakingConversation 1Teacher: Shh! Listen carefully!［3-second beep at about 40 kHz］Teacher: Did you hear that? No? How about this?［3-second beep at about 17.4 kHz］Teacher: If you couldn’t hear the first one, it means you're not a dog!［Laugh］Dogs can hear very high frequency 频率sounds, but people can't. And if you could hear the second one, you're younger than 25Student: Wow! Why is that?Teacher: Our ears change when we get older. Children and young people can hear the second one, but most people older than 25 can’tConversation 2Teachers: Todays topic is “Should teenagers date” Team A, please begin.Team A: We say no, they shouldn’t. One reason is that teenagers are too young. They should think about schoolwork and spend more time studying .Team B: We don’t agree with Team A. Our answer is “Yes”. Teenagers can date if they want. It is quite natural for a teenager at that age to feel he or she likes somebody. We think it's possible for teenagers to date and study at the same time.Teacher: Team A?Conversation 3Julie: Hi, Adam! Are you going to join a club?Adam: Hi, Julie! Id like to, but I’m not sure which oneJulie: I think I will join the Ballet Club. It's always been my dream to be a dancer, and ballet has such beautiful movements.Adam: Oh, wow, dancing’s not for me---i've got two left feet! Mr Brown told me about the Nature Club. They watch biology lectures and grow plants in a greenhouse. I like animals, but I'm not so interested in plantsJulie: Did you hear about the Cartoon Club?Adam: Yes, I love cartoons! But what do they do in the club? Watch cartoons?Julie: No, they write stories and draw cartoons.Adam: Oh, no I'm not good at drawing. Besides, I’d like to do something outdoors. Julie: Max is in the Volunteer Club. He says that they mostly help clean up parks and give directions to visitors. Why not talk to him?

Listening and Talking

Cao Jing: Hi, Max. What're you going to do this vacation?

Max: I'm going to an adventure camp

Cao Jing: Adventure camp? What're you going to do there?

Max: We'll learn survival skills. For example, I'll learn how to make a fire. There'll be some experts there to show us how to live in the wild. I think it's going to be fun

Cao Jing: Cool.

Max: What about you?

Cao Jing: I’m going to an international youth camp. There’ll be lots of students from different countries.

Max: Wow! What will you do there?

Cao Jing: I'm not sure yet, but the topic is about teenagers and teenage life. I'm going to give a speech about student life in China.

Max: Sounds interesting. What kind of stuff will you talk about?

Cao Jing: Oh, teenage life, you know, study, relationships, dreams, plans……It's a bit of challenge, but a good chance. I plan to improve my spoken English.

Max: Good for you. I hope you have lots of fun there, too.

Cao Jing: Oh, definitely. I think it will be very interesting, and I hope to make some friends.

Learning Across Generations

，时长02:10

Narrator: Just outside Johannesburg, South Africa, the day begins for seventeen-year-old Mamorena Chaane. She’s a student at St. Mary's, a very expensive private school. Mamorena gets a great education here.

In South Africa, many people leave school as teenagers. So Mamorena is a very lucky young woman.

This is her mother, Tandi. She grew up in a poor area in Johannesburg. Today, she and her family live in the suburbs and she is a successful businesswoman. But every week, Tandi takes Mamorena to her old neighbourhood in Johannesburg. Tandi grew up here, and her life was very difficult.

Tandi: This was a shanty town. This whole area was a shanty town.

Narrator: Tandi shows Mamorena her childhood home. She wants Mamorena to learn about the past and about the poor today. But Mamorena doesn’t really understand. Her life is so different. Her family has a beautiful home.

Mamorena: We're born on the same day.

Narrator: And the house has a pool. It's very different from her mother’s childhood. In many ways, Mamorena is a typical teenager. She loves to go shopping.

Tandi: I want her to always remember who she is. Because I don't think you become a person if you don't know where you come from.

Narrator: Now, Mamorena and her generation must work hard too, says Tandi.

13 The freshman challenge.mp3音频：00:00/02:00

THE FRESHMAN CHALLENGE

Hi! My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing.

First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones: maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it.

I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community.

I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced course, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.

新生的挑战

嗨！我叫亚当，是高中一年级的新生。从初中过渡到高中真是一项巨大的挑战。第一周有点让人迷茫。

首先，我必须非常认真地考虑我想选哪些课程。学校的指导老师帮我选择了适合我的课程：数学、英语、化学、世界史和中文。我知道中文是一门非常难学的语言，但我希望毕业时能说得很流利。因为我喜欢英语而且成绩不错，我的指导老师建议我选修高级文学。

我还得选一些课外活动。我想参加学校足球队，但教练说我踢得不够好。显然，我很不开心，但我不会放弃。我会自己想办法提高，这样我明年就能加入球队了。不过，我还是参加了一个志愿者社团。每周三，我们会在食品救济站里干活，把食物分发给社区里的无家可归者。

我知道作为一名高中生，我必须得更加努力地学习，学会习惯对更多的事情负责。我有点担心在高级课程中无法跟上其他学生，而且要适应所有的作业会相当困难。不过，我还是很高兴来到这里。努力学习并不总是有趣的，但我会为未来上大学或是任何其他的事情做好充分准备。

2018年9月10日

Dear Worried Friend，

亲爱的担忧的朋友，

You wrote that you are very worried about your friend，Chen Lei. I understand quite well that you are anxious and feel terrible. You think that your friend plays computer games too often and spends too much time online.

你写信说你很担心你的朋友陈雷。我很理解你焦虑和糟糕的感觉。你认为你的朋友玩电脑游戏太频繁，花太多时间在网上。

I recommend that you talk to your friend about his behaviour. It is notunusual for teenagers of your generation to be attracted to computer games and the online world. But spending too much time online is unhealthy and makes it very difficult to focus on other things in life. Some students even become addicted to the Internet and cannot concentrate on school and family life. I think you should encourage your friend to try new hobbies. Why not discuss the problem together? I am sure he will listen to you，since you are his good friend.

我建议你和你的朋友谈谈他的行为。对于你们这一代的青少年来说，被电脑游戏和网络世界所吸引并不罕见。但是花太多的时间在网上是不健康的，让你很难集中精力在生活中的其他事情上。一些学生甚至沉迷于网络，无法集中精力在学校和家庭生活上。我认为你应该鼓励你的朋友尝试新的爱好。为什么不一起讨论这个问题呢？我相信他会听你的，因为你是他的好朋友。

All the best，

一切顺利，

Susan Luo
