The Lost and Found Office in New York City
Welcome to the New York City Lost and Found Office. People often lose things when they’re travelling or when they’re in a hurry. They leave things on planes, on trains, on buses and in taxis. That’s why there are lost and found offices at airports and stations.
The New York City Lost and Found Office is very big. Hundreds of people come here every day. They are looking for their phones, cameras, watches, computers and many other things. We usually have about two thousand mobile phones and one thousand cameras.
At the moment, there are also some strange things at the New York City Lost and Found Office. There are about a hundred bikes and a large boat. There are also a lot of animals. This week, there are three dogs, two ducks and a pig! Whose are they? Are they yours? We don’t know! Are you looking for fifteen kilos of sausages? They’re here too!
Module 2 What can you do?

I want to be the PE monitor .I enjoy sport, and I can run really fast. I’m really fit and healthy. Just watch me in the playground between lessons! I play most ball games well. But I’m really good at football, and I play basketball in the school team. I usually get the best score in every match. Choose me for the PE monitor and you can get the best score too!
I’d like to be the cleaning monitor. I often help my mother do cleaning at home and I like a clean and tidy house. I’m sure everybody would like a clean classroom, just like home. Choose me and we can make our classroom beautiful.

Module 4 Life in the future
Unit 1 Everyone will study at home.
Ms Li: Will schools be different in the future, Daming?
Daming: Yes, there will! In twenty years time, maybe there won’t be any schools!
Ms Li: How will students learn then?
Daming: Everyone will study at home. Students will use computers and get information on the Internet. They can ask their teachers by Internet, telephone or email.
Betty: Well, I’m not sure. Yes, students will use computers, but school is good fun, and you can make friends there. And teachers can check the students’ level and will help them. Computers won’t do that.
Tony: Yes. Teachers won’t use on a blackboard and students won’t use pens and paper, or erasers any more!
Lingling: Great! Will students have a lot of homework to do?
Tony: No, they won’t. They’ll have a lot of free time!
Daming: That’ll be great!
Unit 2 Every family will have a small plane.
What will life be like in the future? How will things change? Here are some ideas. Which ones will come true?
A In the future, a change of weather won’t mean a change of clothes. We’ll wear a new kind of clothes. They’ll be warm when we’re cold, and cool when we’re hot.
B There’ll be no more light rain and cold wind in spring. The weather will be quite warm or even hot all year, with heavy rain and wind. The sea level will rise as well.
C We won’t travel by bus or bike any more. Every family will have a small plane. No more expensive cars - it’ll be cheap to travel everywhere by plane, not only over land, but also over the sea or even into space. Maybe there’ll be traffic jams in the air.
D Do you like long holidays? Well, you’re going to like the future because
machines and robots will do all the heavy and difficult jobs, and we’ll only do light and easy work. Working hours will be short so people will have long holidays.
Module 5 Shopping
UNIT 1 What can I do for you?
(In the shop)
Shop Worker: What can I do for you?
Lingling: I'd like to buy a T-shirt for my mum.
Shop worker: What colour does she like?
Lingling; Purple.
Shop worker: All right .What size does she take ?
Lingling: Small.
Shop worker: What about this one ?
Lingling: May I try it on?

Shop worker: But wait a minute !There's a sale on today .Everything is half price.
Lingling: OK! I'll take it .
(In the market)
Lingling: I've got some food to buy too.
Market worker : Can I help you ?

Market worker : Ten yuan a kilo.
Betty: One kilo please .Here's fifty-nine yuan.
Unit 2 You can buy everything on the Internet.
Online shopping
There are many new ways of shopping, and online shopping is one of them .You can buy almost everything on the Internet .and it's very easy .First ,you choose something-clothes, tickets, a mobile phone, even a new computer -and pay for it. Then you receive it a few days later by post .
Online shopping has several advantages. First, you can shop at any time. The shops are always open. Second, shopping usually takes a lot of time. But to shop on the Internet you only need a computer and a mouse! You can also compare the prices of the same product and spend a lot...or save money.
But many people like going out and shopping with friends.They don't like shopping on the Internet because they can't see the product or try the clothes on. Also paying over the Internet isn't always safe.
Online shopping is changing our way of life .One day no one will go to the shops any more ,because you'll be able to buy anything on the Internet ,and you will be able to receive it anywhere in the world at any time!
Module 6 Around town

Unit2 The London Eye is on your right
Tour of London
Welcome to this short tour of London. This square is Trafalgar Square and it is the middle of London. We’re standing opposite the National Gallery, a famous museum with lots of famous paintings. From here, we’ll walk along the red street to Buckingham Palace. The Queen lives there.
Turn left and go to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Opposite you can see the London Eye. It takes you 135 metres above the River Thames. You can see most of London on a clear day.
When you are tired, the best way to see London is by boat. You can get the boat near Big Ben. As you go along the river, the London Eye is on your right.
Get off the boat at Tower Bridge. Next to the bridge is the Tower of London. It’s over 900 years old.
After visiting the Tower of London, take the boat back along the river to the railway station. When you get off the boat, go past the station and walk along the street. Turn left into King’s Street and go past a church. You’re now back at the square. And this is where we’ll finish our tour.

Unit 2 I was born in Quincy
My life in Quincy
By Betty King
I was born in Quincy, a town on the east coast of America, twelve years ago. There were lots of things to do in Quincy, with many stores, two movie theaters, football clubs and basketball teams too. I wasn’t bored in Quincy. I was very happy there.
Two presidents of the US, John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams, were born in Quincy. You can visit their old family houses. Our house was big and comfortable. There was a big living room with a TV, a kitchen, a bathroom and three bedrooms. On my bedroom walls there were pictures of my favourite movie stars.
Behind the house, there was a big garden with lots of trees and there was a small lake with fish in it. It was great to play there.
There were lots of children in Quincy. Many of them were my friends. This was our last in the US and I was there for the last time in 2010. One day I’ll go back, and I’m looking forward to seeing my friends again
