Module 1 Wonders of the world
Unit1 What is a wonder of the world?
OK, come and sit down!
What's happening?
We're having a meeting.
That's news to me! I'm doing my homework. What's it about?
The school magazine.
What school magazine?
Right, listen up, everyone. Did anyone watch television yesterday evening? Did you see the interview with Becky Wang?
She sings with the band Crazy Feet. She's my favourite singer.
Yes, I saw it. She went to our school!
Well, she started a school magazine called New Standard when she was a pupil here. So why don't we start a school magazine, too? I've written down some ideas. We'll write a diary of school events, and tell everyone about the school concert and the dance club.
And school basketball matches.
But who will write the articles?
We'll write the articles. Any more ideas?
I know! I'll do some reviews about our favourite bands and movies!
And I'll do an interview with Becky Wang!
Brilliant! Anyone else?
How about "Homework Help"?
Yes, some ideas on how to get good grades!
What's your homework, Daming?
I'm writing a composition called "What is a wonder of the world?" I'm reading about the ancient pyramids in Egypt.
"Homework Help". I think that's a fantastic idea, Daming.
蒂：好吧，进来坐下！
明：什么事？
玲：我们在开会。
明：我一点都不知道，我在做作业。这个会是关于什么的？
玲；校园杂志。
明：什么校园杂志？
蒂：好吧，大家请注意。昨晚有人看电视了吗？你们看到对贝基王的采访了吗？
玲：她和Crazy Feet 乐队一起演唱。她是我最喜欢的歌手。
托尼：是的，我看了，她去过我们学校！
蒂：噢，当她还在这儿上学的时候，创办了一份叫做《新标准》的校园杂志。那么我们为什么不也创办一份校园杂志呢？我已经写下了一些想法。我们要记录下学校每天发生的事，还要告诉大家校园音乐会以及舞蹈俱乐部的事情。
托尼：还有校园篮球比赛。
玲：但是谁写文章呢？
蒂：我们来写文章，还有什么想法吗？
托尼：我知道了，我要就我们喜爱的'乐队和电影写一些评论！
玲：我要采访贝基王！
蒂：太好了，还有别人吗？
明：“家庭作业小助手”怎么样？
托尼：是的，一些关于如何取得好成绩的想法！
玲：大明，你的作业呢？
明：我在写出一篇叫做《什么是世界奇观？》的作文。我在读有关埃及古老的金字塔的事情。
蒂：“家庭作业小助手“。大明，我想那是一个极好的主意。
I was on the edge of the Gran Canyon.
The greatest wonder of the natural world
When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.
After about a kilometre, a stranger appeared in front of me. "Am I going the right way?" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes," he replied, "you'll get there in five minutes." Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.
Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world.
I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 k ilometres below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won't reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It's 20 kilometres, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance…over 400 kilometres long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It's huge!
That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question. It's not "How deep is it?" or "How wide is it?" or "How long is it?" but "Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?" I know the answer. But what do you think?
自然界最伟大的奇观
我到达的时候是一大早，天正在下雨。我走出汽车，穿过一个门口，沿着一条小路前行。在东方，天空正在变亮，但路边仍然很黑。我知道，它就在那里，但什么也看不见。
我们大约过了1000米，一个陌生人出现在我面前。我问：“我走的路对吗？他知道我要去哪里。他回答：“对，5分钟后你就会到那里。”最后，我来到一些岩石旁边停下。我仔细地从这些岩石上面看，但是天仍然太黑，我看不见任何东西。
这时，云散了，雨停了。太阳从我身后升起，它离那些岩石很远。我看见地面沉降到下面深谷中的一条河里，离我特别遥远。我站在自然界的奇观之一 ——大峡谷的边缘。
我俯视着距我大约2000米之遥的科罗拉多河。如果你把世界上最高的三座建筑物放在峡谷的底部，它们也不能达到顶部。然后，我眺望峡谷的另一边，它多远？20000米或许更远。最后，我向左右遥望，在两边，大峡谷消失在远方……400多千米长。大峡谷不仅是大。它是巨大！
那天早上在大峡谷的边缘，我问了自己一个问题。它不是“它多深？”或者“它多宽？”或者“它多长？”而是“大峡谷是自然界最伟大的奇观吗？”我知道答案。但是你怎样认为？
