Rock climbing has been a popular sport for a long time. It’s still popular today, but now a lot of rock climbers are trying something new—ice climbing.
Ice climbing is a lot like rock climbing. When you go rock climbing, you climb a mountain. When you go ice climbing, you climb ice. Some ice climbers climb frozen waterfalls. Others climb glaciers (冰川). Still others climb mountains that are covered with ice. Sometimes, they climb a mountain that is covered in ice only in some places. When they are climbing parts that don’t have ice, they’re rock climbing. When they’re climbing parts that have ice, they’re ice climbing.
As people made better equipment (装备), ice climbing started to become easier and more popular. In 1908, a climber made special boots called “crampons”. These boots made ice climbing easier and safer. After that, more people were willing to try ice climbing. In the 1960s, another climber invented special axes. Climbers can use the axes to hit the ice. The axes go into the ice. Then the climber can pull himself or herself up.
These days, a lot of people are taking ice climbing classes. In order to go ice climbing, you have to be strong and healthy. In fact, some teachers say that you should do special exercises before you start to climb.
Here’s one good thing about ice climbing. You can do it in easy places or difficult places. People who want to try something simple can climb glaciers or small mountains. These are usually pretty easy. People who want to try something more challenging can find a more difficult place. The hardest places are usually steep mountains and frozen waterfalls. However, you should never go ice climbing alone. You should always go with a teacher.
A lot of people love ice climbing because it’s hard. These people like to challenge themselves. Some say that when you get to the top of a glacier or a frozen waterfall, you’ll have the best feeling.

Arthritis (关节炎) is a disease that affects different joints (关节), most commonly the knee, and also your hips, your ankles and your hands. It involves degeneration (退化) of cartilage (软骨), and also of the bone, the joint itself and production of fluid (润滑液).
It’s a very common condition in middle to older age adults. Signs of the condition include stiff (僵硬) knees, swollen (肿) knees, and a cracking noise when you move the joint.
Arthritis pain is a common struggle as you get old and while managing the pain may feel like an uphill battle, experts say there’s an exercise you can try to help your knee health.
According to a recent study, bike riding is super good for knee health. The study was made up of 2,607 people with an average age of 64. They reported their bicycling frequency throughout their lifetime. Researchers checked for arthritis by taking x-rays of their knees.
People who rode a bike, whether outdoors or indoors, reported less of frequent knee pain and were less likely to have knee arthritis.
Then why is riding a bike great for your knees
“Bike riding has very low impact (冲击). The force that goes to your knee while you’re bike riding is a fraction (小部分) of what happens when you walk or run,” explained Daniel White, a professor in the department of physical therapy at the University of Delaware.
However, even though it’s low impact, you still get the benefits of strengthening your muscles, exercising your cardiovascular (心血管) system, as well as other health benefits.
“If you can do activities to strengthen the area while you are also decreasing the impact on the cartilage, then you should have less arthritis pain,” said Dr. Michael Yang, a sports medicine physician at Jefferson Health in Philadelphia.
“Bicycling helps to strengthen the muscles around the knee, which also improves your knee joint health as a whole,” said Dr. Jessica Tomazic, a sports medicine doctor at the Cleveland Clinic.

A|兰生复旦校本经典题 Jane Goodall was a world-famous scientist. This is the story of how she started her career.
Jane was not very interested in animals when she was a child. Then, one day, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee (黑猩猩). She liked it very much. From that day on, she became really interested in animals.
When she was a 16-year-old schoolgirl, Jane dreamt of a career studying wild animals in Africa.
Jane’s mother said, “If you really want something, work hard and never give up. Then you’ll find a way.”
Jane’s mother was right. When she was 26, Jane travelled from Britain to the mountains of East Africa. She studied chimpanzees there for years. She discovered that these animals greet one another with a kiss or a hug, and make and use tools—just like humans do.
Some people questioned the methods Jane used in her research. Jane gave the chimpanzees human names and compared them to humans. People at the time thought she should not treat the chimpanzees too much like people. However, Jane did not give up. In the end, her discoveries changed how we think about humans and animals. Nowadays, scientists believe that human beings have a lot in common with chimpanzees.

His own happy feeling helped him get well again. He wrote his story in his book. He said laughing was very useful. It was the best “medicine”.
Another man, Simon Beck, was also ill, and he had a serious pain in his back. The doctor couldn’t stop it, so the man began to “picture” his pain. In his head he “drew” a picture of a dog.

你知道早睡早起的好处吗？也许下文能帮助你了解。
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. This is an old English saying. It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do so, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
Is this true Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you go to bed late, you can’t have enough sleep. Then you can’t think carefully and your homework will be wrong. You will not be wise and you may not become rich. Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep when it is dark. The dark helps us sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. It is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong. Exercise helps the blood to move around inside the body. Blood takes nutrition (营养) to all parts of our bodies. The brains in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy and take exercise, we can think better! Our bodies also need air to work well. Without air, we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean and fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.
1．How many hours of sleep do children need every night
2．What takes nutrition to all parts of our bodies
3．What will happen to us if our bodies don’t have air
4．What does the dark help us do
5．Is enough sleep good for our health
【答案】1．Ten hours. 2．Blood. 3．We will die. 4．It helps us sleep well. 5．Yes, it is.
【导语】本文由谚语“早睡早起对健康有益”切入，介绍了睡眠、运动和空气对身体的重要性。
1．第二段“Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night.”指出，孩子们每晚需要十个小时的睡眠。
2．第二段“Blood takes nutrition to all parts of our bodies.”指出，血液将营养物质输送到身体各个部位。
3．第二段“Without air, we will die.”指出，没有空气，我们将会死亡。
4．第二段“The dark helps us sleep well.”说明，黑暗可以帮助我们很好地睡眠。
5．第一段“It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do so, we shall be healthy.”和第二段“The body must have enough sleep.”可知，身体需要充足的睡眠，那样我们才会健康，即“充足的睡眠对健康有益”，因此本题作肯定回答。
Mencius’s Mother Moves Three Times
In traditional Chinese culture, there are many famous stories and ideas about how to raise and educate children. The story of “Mencius’s Mother Moves Three Times” is one of them. It tells us how important the environment is for a person’s growth.
The story happened in ancient China. Mencius became a great thinker in Chinese history. When he was a child, his mother moved house three times to provide him with a good growing environment. First, they lived near a cemetery. Young Mencius started learning games about funerals from other children. His mother thought this was not good, so she decided to move. Next, they moved next to a marketplace. Mencius then began to learn how to buy, sell, and shout like merchants. His mother still thought this was not good for his growth. Finally, they moved near a school. Here, Mencius started to learn manners and knowledge. His mother was finally satisfied. She believed this was the right place for her child. Later, Mencius studied hard and became a great scholar.
This story shows that traditional Chinese parenting values the influence of the external environment on a child’s behavior and character. Parents believe that choosing a place with a positive atmosphere for their children, such as being near places that encourage learning and good behavior, can help children develop good habits and noble morals. This is similar to modern ideas which also stress the role of social environment. Meanwhile, the story also shows the great effort and care parents put into their children’s growth. They don’t just tell children what to do; they take action—like moving their home—to create the best conditions.
Of course, modern education also emphasizes that besides the external environment, it is equally important to develop children’s inner abilities like self-control, responsibility, and emotional management skills. Just as we learned in this unit, we need to learn to deal with our emotions, control our anger, and take responsibility for our actions.
1．Why did Mencius’s mother decide to move the first time
2．Where did they finally move to
3．According to the passage, what does the story show about traditional Chinese parenting values
4．Besides a good environment, what inner abilities does modern education think are important to develop in children (Name at least two)
5．Do you think parents today should try their best to create a perfect environment for their children Why or why not
【答案】1．Because Mencius started learning funeral games near the cemetery and his mother thought it was not good. 2．They finally moved near a school. 3．It shows that traditional Chinese parenting values the influence of the external environment on a child’s behavior and character. 4．Self-control, responsibility, and emotional management skills. 5．Yes, I think parents should try to provide a positive environment, but they also need to help children develop inner strength to face challenges.
【导语】本文通过“孟母三迁”的故事，阐述了环境对儿童成长的重要性，同时结合现代教育理念，指出除了外部环境，培养孩子的内在能力同样关键。
1．根据第二段“First, they lived near a cemetery. Young Mencius started learning games about funerals from other children. His mother thought this was not good, so she decided to move.”可知，孟母第一次搬家是因为孟子在墓地附近学葬礼游戏，她认为这样不好。故填Because Mencius started learning funeral games near the cemetery and his mother thought it was not good.
2．根据第二段“Finally, they moved near a school.”可知，他们最后搬到了学校附近。故填They finally moved near a school.
3．根据第三段“This story shows that traditional Chinese parenting values the influence of the external environment on a child’s behavior and character.”可知，这个故事体现了中国传统教育重视外部环境对孩子行为和性格的影响。故填It shows that traditional Chinese parenting values the influence of the external environment on a child’s behavior and character.
4．根据第四段“modern education also emphasizes that besides the external environment, it is equally important to develop children’s inner abilities like self-control, responsibility, and emotional management skills.”可知，现代教育认为重要的内在能力包括自我控制、责任感和情绪管理能力。任选两个作答即可。故填Self-control, responsibility, and emotional management skills.
5．开放性问题，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, I think parents should try to provide a positive environment, but they also need to help children develop inner strength to face challenges.

They’re not for everyone, however. Even summer days are cool and often windy. The water is too cold for swimming. There are no forests, and there are only a few trees and green fields. Instead of fields, there are just rocks and small plants. The hills, too, are just piles of rocks. Sometimes the view looks like pictures of the moon.
But there is beauty in this place. From the beach, you can often see all the way to the rocky hills. From the hills, you can see far out to other islands and the open ocean. The colours, too, are special. Blue is everywhere. It’s in the sky and in the ocean. It is in the tiny flowers that grow on the hills. In spring there is also green in the hills. In summer and fall the hills are more purple. Often the air is soft and the weather is gray with clouds and rain.
On these islands, you can forget about the rest of the world. The evenings are quiet. The restaurants close early and there isn’t any nightlife. Visitors stay at a guest house. This is the best way to learn about life on the islands. The islanders are often friendly, and they like to talk.
If you want to meet islanders, you can also try the pubs (酒吧) or even the shops. People are in no hurry here. They like to chat about the weather or the fishing. There are also some tourist shops, but not many. They sell the usual tourist things. They also sell some beautiful clothes made of wool from the islands. Do not come to the Hebrides for e to walk in the clean, cool air. Enjoy the quiet beauty.

2．Where can you see all the way to the rocky hills

Rock climbing has been a popular sport for a long time. It’s still popular today, but now a lot of rock climbers are trying something new—ice climbing.
Ice climbing is a lot like rock climbing. When you go rock climbing, you climb a mountain. When you go ice climbing, you climb ice. Some ice climbers climb frozen waterfalls. Others climb glaciers (冰川). Still others climb mountains that are covered with ice. Sometimes, they climb a mountain that is covered in ice only in some places. When they are climbing parts that don’t have ice, they’re rock climbing. When they’re climbing parts that have ice, they’re ice climbing.
As people made better equipment (装备), ice climbing started to become easier and more popular. In 1908, a climber made special boots called “crampons”. These boots made ice climbing easier and safer. After that, more people were willing to try ice climbing. In the 1960s, another climber invented special axes. Climbers can use the axes to hit the ice. The axes go into the ice. Then the climber can pull himself or herself up.
These days, a lot of people are taking ice climbing classes. In order to go ice climbing, you have to be strong and healthy. In fact, some teachers say that you should do special exercises before you start to climb.
Here’s one good thing about ice climbing. You can do it in easy places or difficult places. People who want to try something simple can climb glaciers or small mountains. These are usually pretty easy. People who want to try something more challenging can find a more difficult place. The hardest places are usually steep mountains and frozen waterfalls. However, you should never go ice climbing alone. You should always go with a teacher.
A lot of people love ice climbing because it’s hard. These people like to challenge themselves. Some say that when you get to the top of a glacier or a frozen waterfall, you’ll have the best feeling.

Arthritis (关节炎) is a disease that affects different joints (关节), most commonly the knee, and also your hips, your ankles and your hands. It involves degeneration (退化) of cartilage (软骨), and also of the bone, the joint itself and production of fluid (润滑液).
It’s a very common condition in middle to older age adults. Signs of the condition include stiff (僵硬) knees, swollen (肿) knees, and a cracking noise when you move the joint.
Arthritis pain is a common struggle as you get old and while managing the pain may feel like an uphill battle, experts say there’s an exercise you can try to help your knee health.
According to a recent study, bike riding is super good for knee health. The study was made up of 2,607 people with an average age of 64. They reported their bicycling frequency throughout their lifetime. Researchers checked for arthritis by taking x-rays of their knees.
People who rode a bike, whether outdoors or indoors, reported less of frequent knee pain and were less likely to have knee arthritis.
Then why is riding a bike great for your knees
“Bike riding has very low impact (冲击). The force that goes to your knee while you’re bike riding is a fraction (小部分) of what happens when you walk or run,” explained Daniel White, a professor in the department of physical therapy at the University of Delaware.
However, even though it’s low impact, you still get the benefits of strengthening your muscles, exercising your cardiovascular (心血管) system, as well as other health benefits.
“If you can do activities to strengthen the area while you are also decreasing the impact on the cartilage, then you should have less arthritis pain,” said Dr. Michael Yang, a sports medicine physician at Jefferson Health in Philadelphia.
“Bicycling helps to strengthen the muscles around the knee, which also improves your knee joint health as a whole,” said Dr. Jessica Tomazic, a sports medicine doctor at the Cleveland Clinic.

A|兰生复旦校本经典题 Jane Goodall was a world-famous scientist. This is the story of how she started her career.
Jane was not very interested in animals when she was a child. Then, one day, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee (黑猩猩). She liked it very much. From that day on, she became really interested in animals.
When she was a 16-year-old schoolgirl, Jane dreamt of a career studying wild animals in Africa.
Jane’s mother said, “If you really want something, work hard and never give up. Then you’ll find a way.”
Jane’s mother was right. When she was 26, Jane travelled from Britain to the mountains of East Africa. She studied chimpanzees there for years. She discovered that these animals greet one another with a kiss or a hug, and make and use tools—just like humans do.
Some people questioned the methods Jane used in her research. Jane gave the chimpanzees human names and compared them to humans. People at the time thought she should not treat the chimpanzees too much like people. However, Jane did not give up. In the end, her discoveries changed how we think about humans and animals. Nowadays, scientists believe that human beings have a lot in common with chimpanzees.
Jane Goodall was well known all over the world. She often gave speeches about her work because she wanted people to protect the environment. Her life story has inspired many young people all over the world.

Steve Taylor was in his room lying down for sleep while his mother Katelyn was taking a shower. She wanted to bathe before going to bed herself. The 5-year-old boy was just about to fall asleep when he heard a loud noise from the bathroom. He hurried to have a look.
When he got to the bathroom, he found his mother lying in the bathtub (浴缸) with blood coming from her head. She had an epileptic fit (癫痫发作) and didn’t know anything. However, little Steve kept a cool head.
He first went to his 2-month-old sister and put her in a blanket, placing her on the sofa. He then climbed up a chair to open the door. Once the door opened, Steve picked her up from the sofa and went to his neighbour’s house. The neighbour, Jessica, was very surprised to see her two young neighbours standing outside her door at such a strange hour.
She first thought the little boy was coming to talk about his dog. But he said, “No, my mum died in the shower. Can you take care of us ” Jessica ran to next door in a hurry and found Katelyn in the shower with the water still running. She called 911 and help arrived just in time.

Many people would try very hard to run just one marathon (马拉松). They would need months of training to get into shape to last the 42.195-km race. However, marathons are no problem for Australian runner Erchana Murray-Bartlett. She finished running 150 marathons in 150 days.
Ms Murray-Bartlett ran 6,329 km from the northernmost part of Queensland to the southern city of Melbourne. Her five-month coast-to-coast run set a new world record. It’s the most consecutive (连续的) daily marathons ever run by a woman. She broke the last record of finishing running 106 marathons in 106 days.
Ms Murray-Bartlett is a great runner. In 2021, she missed the Tokyo Olympics, so she turned her attention to a record-breaking challenge. She started her challenge to raise people’s awareness (意识) of the extinction crisis (灭绝危机) in Australia. Australia is rich in biodiversity (生物多样性), but many kinds of animals and plants are dying out in her country. Her run raised $70,000 for the Wilderness Society to protect those animals and plants. She said it was a really hard five months, but she knew she could do it.
She said, “Even though sometimes I was tired, I thought: ‘No, I could go one more kilometre’ or ‘No, I could go 500 more metres’. If we connect small goals together, we can make it.” This is a lesson for us all.

Health problems can happen to anyone at any time. Many people don’t know much about health and first aid. For example, my friend Tom had a nosebleed at school last year. He was so afraid that he didn’t know what to do. As a result, the situation got a bit worse. This made me realize how important basic first aid knowledge (知识) is. I decided to do something to make a change.
To help students learn basic skills, I set up a health and first aid club at school in May last year. The club has two main aims: teaching first aid and helping students develop healthy habits. Firstly, we want students to know how to help with small hurts like cuts, burns, or nosebleeds. Secondly, we also hoped to raise students’ awareness (意识) of health. It is important to know how to keep healthy, such as eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep.
Every month, we invite doctors to give talks on common injuries and treatments (治疗). We also organize group discussions about healthy lifestyles. For example, we talk about why junk food is bad for us and how much sleep we need, and what kinds of food are good for us. Because of the club, now ▲ .

你知道早睡早起的好处吗？也许下文能帮助你了解。
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. This is an old English saying. It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do so, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
Is this true Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you go to bed late, you can’t have enough sleep. Then you can’t think carefully and your homework will be wrong. You will not be wise and you may not become rich. Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep when it is dark. The dark helps us sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. It is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong. Exercise helps the blood to move around inside the body. Blood takes nutrition (营养) to all parts of our bodies. The brains in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy and take exercise, we can think better! Our bodies also need air to work well. Without air, we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean and fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.
1．How many hours of sleep do children need every night
2．What takes nutrition to all parts of our bodies
3．What will happen to us if our bodies don’t have air
4．What does the dark help us do
5．Is enough sleep good for our health
Mencius’s Mother Moves Three Times
In traditional Chinese culture, there are many famous stories and ideas about how to raise and educate children. The story of “Mencius’s Mother Moves Three Times” is one of them. It tells us how important the environment is for a person’s growth.
The story happened in ancient China. Mencius became a great thinker in Chinese history. When he was a child, his mother moved house three times to provide him with a good growing environment. First, they lived near a cemetery. Young Mencius started learning games about funerals from other children. His mother thought this was not good, so she decided to move. Next, they moved next to a marketplace. Mencius then began to learn how to buy, sell, and shout like merchants. His mother still thought this was not good for his growth. Finally, they moved near a school. Here, Mencius started to learn manners and knowledge. His mother was finally satisfied. She believed this was the right place for her child. Later, Mencius studied hard and became a great scholar.
This story shows that traditional Chinese parenting values the influence of the external environment on a child’s behavior and character. Parents believe that choosing a place with a positive atmosphere for their children, such as being near places that encourage learning and good behavior, can help children develop good habits and noble morals. This is similar to modern ideas which also stress the role of social environment. Meanwhile, the story also shows the great effort and care parents put into their children’s growth. They don’t just tell children what to do; they take action—like moving their home—to create the best conditions.
Of course, modern education also emphasizes that besides the external environment, it is equally important to develop children’s inner abilities like self-control, responsibility, and emotional management skills. Just as we learned in this unit, we need to learn to deal with our emotions, control our anger, and take responsibility for our actions.
1．Why did Mencius’s mother decide to move the first time
2．Where did they finally move to
3．According to the passage, what does the story show about traditional Chinese parenting values
4．Besides a good environment, what inner abilities does modern education think are important to develop in children (Name at least two)
5．Do you think parents today should try their best to create a perfect environment for their children Why or why not

If you like unusual places, you should visit the Hebrides Islands. Not many people live on these islands in the northwest of Scotland. The land is not good for farming. It’s only good for keeping sheep. The winters are long, cold, and wet. It’s hard to make a living on the Hebrides, but for a visitor, these islands can be very special.
They’re not for everyone, however. Even summer days are cool and often windy. The water is too cold for swimming. There are no forests, and there are only a few trees and green fields. Instead of fields, there are just rocks and small plants. The hills, too, are just piles of rocks. Sometimes the view looks like pictures of the moon.
But there is beauty in this place. From the beach, you can often see all the way to the rocky hills. From the hills, you can see far out to other islands and the open ocean. The colours, too, are special. Blue is everywhere. It’s in the sky and in the ocean. It is in the tiny flowers that grow on the hills. In spring there is also green in the hills. In summer and fall the hills are more purple. Often the air is soft and the weather is gray with clouds and rain.
On these islands, you can forget about the rest of the world. The evenings are quiet. The restaurants close early and there isn’t any nightlife. Visitors stay at a guest house. This is the best way to learn about life on the islands. The islanders are often friendly, and they like to talk.
If you want to meet islanders, you can also try the pubs (酒吧) or even the shops. People are in no hurry here. They like to chat about the weather or the fishing. There are also some tourist shops, but not many. They sell the usual tourist things. They also sell some beautiful clothes made of wool from the islands. Do not come to the Hebrides for e to walk in the clean, cool air. Enjoy the quiet beauty.

2．Where can you see all the way to the rocky hills
