Unit 1The 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 there. Studying hard isn't always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or

whatever else comes in the future。

Unit 2 Explore Peru

Peru is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas： narrow,

dry flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest。

In the 1400s and 1500s, Peru was the centre of the powerful ancient Inca Empire. The

Inca emperor lived in the now—famous site Machu Picchu. Spain took control of Peru in the

16

th

century and ruled until 1821。 It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official

language of Peru.

Amazon Rainforest Tour

A short flight from Cusco takes you from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest. From

there， you’ll spend one day travelling by boat to your accommodation in the middle of

the forest. You can then spend three days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and

enjoying the plants and animals unique to the rainforest.

Machu Picchu Tour

This four-day walking tour will take you on amazing paths through the Andes Mountains

on the way to the city of Machu Picchu。 After reaching your destination, you will have a day

to explore and be amazed by this ancient city。 Especially amazing is the Incas’ dry stone

method of building. Inca builders cut stones to exact sizes so that nothing was needed to

hold walls together other than the perfect fit of the stones。

Cusco Tour

Spend four days enjoying the unique Spanish and local Indian culture high in the Andes

at Cusco the capital of the Inca Empire from the 13

th

family on a island for three days。 Both the island and the Uros homes are made of water

plants from the lake。

Unit 3 Living Legends

Lang Ping

As a player， Lang Ping brought honor and glory to her country。 As a coach, she led

the China women's volleyball team to medals at world championships and the Olympics. As

a person， she is loved by fans at home and abroad. When the Chinese team was preparing

for the 2015 World Cup, her determination was tested. The team that Lang Ping had built

was falling apart。 One of the best players had been injured， and the team captain had to

leave because of heart problems。 Losing two important players was a big challenge, but

Lang Ping did not lose heart。 She had faced difficulties before, and she knew that her

young players could win if they worked together as a team。 Two weeks later, they were

world champions！ Then in 2016, Lang Ping led her volleyball team to Olympic gold in

Brazil。

Michael Jordan

When Michael Jordan’s feet left the ground, time seemed to stand still. They player

who became known as “Air Jordan" changed basketball with his graceful moves and

jumps。 Jordan’s skills were impressive, but the mental strength that he showed made him

unique. In the final seconds of a game, Jordan always seemed to find a way to win. Jordan

says that the secret to his success is leaning form his failures。 “I can accept failure;

everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” Losing games taught him to

practice harder and never give up。 In life, Jordan has learnt to share his success with

others。 The Boys and Girls Club which he started in Chicago has been helping young

people since 1996。
