Unit 1 It’s time to watch a cartoon. 3 Listen and read.
Tony: Daming, we’ve finished our homework. It’s time to watch a cartoon. Daming: Good idea, Tony. Let’s watch Superman!
Tony: We watched Superman yesterday. Why don’t we watch Spiderman? It’s more modern.
Daming: I think Superman is better. He’s stronger than Spiderman. He can fly through the sky and fight bad people.
Tony: Spiderman can’t fly, but he climbs up buildings with his hands and feet. That’s cool. I want to be someone like him.
Daming: Well, Superman is brave. He keeps fighting bad people. That’s a real hero! Tony: I don’t think we agree.
Daming: All right. Let’s watch Tom and Jerry then.
Tony: Yeah! I like humorous cartoons. Tom and Jerry are very funny. I can’t help laughing when I watch them! Daming: Yes, Jerry is too smart for Tom.
Tony: The cute mouse always beats the cat! They fight a lot, but they really love each other. Sometimes they protect each other and work together. I think there’s a lesson there!
Unit 2 Monkey King has just had his 50th birthday.
2 Read the passage and choose a sentence that best summarises it.
Cartoon heroes
Nemo is a cute orange-and-white fish and Shrek is an ugly green man. They look very different, but both of them have won the hearts of young people all over the world. The pictures of these popular cartoon heroes are everywhere, on office desks, schoolbags and computer screens.
There are also some older cartoon favourites. Monkey King has just had his 50th birthday. He is the hero of a story called Havoc in Heaven. He leads a group of monkeys against the Emperor of Heaven and his guards. He is brave, clever and humorous. Parents and children laugh together as Monkey King makes a terrible mess in heaven. They always expect to see more Monkey King cartoons.
Tintin is another favourite cartoon hero. He has been popular for over eighty years, ever since the artist Herge invented him in 1929. Tintin has red hair and a small white dog. He works for a newspaper and has lots of exciting experiences. Fans have bought about 200 million copies of Tintin’s stories in more than fifty languages. Tintin appeared in China in the 1980s. Many Chinese still collect these black-and-white Tintin books.
Finally, Snoopy, a cute dog, celebrated his 60th birthday in 2010. Snoopy lives in his own private work and finds real life hard to understand. Charles Schulz created Snoopy and his friends, and drew the cartoons to satisfy older people as well as children.

Unit 1 Do you collect anything? 3 Listen and read.
Lingling: Hi, everyone! Come in and find somewhere to sit down. Sorry, it’s a bit of a mess. I’ll put the fans on the shelf.
Betty: Let me have a look. You’ve got so many fans. Lingling: Yes, about sixty. Betty: Where did you get them?
Lingling: Most of them are presents. People often give me fans as presents because they know I like them. Do you collect anything?
Betty: Yes, I collect coins and notes, you know, like British pounds and US dollars and cents. Lingling: Coins? They must be really valuable. Can I see them?
Betty: Sure! I’ll show you my stamps too. I’ve collected stamps from all over the world, I’ve got six or seven books of stamps.
Tony: My hobby doesn’t cost as much as yours —I collect tickets, bus tickets and train tickets! Betty: You can’t do anything with old tickets!
Tony: I know, but when I look at them, I remember some wonderful places.
Lingling: Right! Their value isn’t very important. People usually collect things just to remember something important in their lives.
Unit 2 Hobbies can make you grow as a person. 3 Read the passage and answer the questions.
David’s hobbies
Many students have hobbies, such as reading, painting, growing vegetables and looking after animals. Some hobbies are relaxing and others are active. Hobbies can make you grow as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills.
David Smith is a student, and one of his hobbies is writing. During the summer of 2010, he spent four weeks at a summer camp. As well as the usual activities such as sailing and climbing, there was writing class. “The teacher was writer, and she asked us to talk about our lives and tell interesting stories. Then she encouraged us to write about experiences at the camp.”
Back at school, David wrote a story about the life of a sixteen-year-old boy, and it came out as a book in 2012. Many young people love his book, and as result, David has become a successful young writer.
David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him pleasure and success. But writing is not his only hobby. He is also interested in many other things. “I like playing volleyball too,” says David. “I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe I’ll write about my volleyball team in my future books.”

2 Listen and read.
(Lingling is preparing for her trip to LA.)
Lingling: Hi, Betty. I’m making a list of things for my trip. I like to get things ready earlier. Can you help me? Betty: Sure. How can I help?
Lingling: Well, it sounds crazy but I don’t know what to take. Betty: You should take notebooks, pens and a dictionary. Lingling: OK. What clothes should I take to LA?
Betty: When are you leaving and how long are you going to stay there?
Lingling: I’m leaving at the end of July and I’m going to stay there for four weeks. Betty: Shorts are good, or you can wear light trousers, it’ll be sunny and hot there. Lingling: I haven’t got any sunglasses. I’ll buy a pair there.
Betty: That’s a good idea. But remember, many things are more expensive in America. Have you got any American dollars?
Lingling: Yes. Is 200 dollars enough?
Betty: If you’ve already paid for the air tickets and for homestay, it should be OK. Lingling: What else?
Betty: Your bag mustn’t weigh too much. You’d better ask the travel company about the total weight for all your bags. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to take your passport. Lingling: OK. Thank you.
Betty: You’re welcome. You’ll have a great time. Please write to me and send me some photos! Lingling: Yes, I will!
