【正文】 he lady.Jack: Great! Once she gets a regular ine, things will be better. More than anything else, it will take her mind off her tragedy.Jane: Hmm.... I was wondering, could we organize a fundraiser for her?Jack: Well, I’m not so sure how that would work.

Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: My friend saved me. One day, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Robert. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?” Then, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms. His glasses went flying. He looked up and I saw terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. As I handed his glasses, there was a big simile on his face. I helped him pick up his books. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. Monday morning came, and there was Robert with the huge stack of books again. Over the next four years, we became best friends. On graduation day, Robert gave a speech on behalf of the class. He said, “I am here to tell you a story.’ I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself that weekend. He talked of how he was carrying his stuff home. “Thankfully,” he said, “:my friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.” Not until that moment did I realize that sometimes, with one small gesture, you can change a person’s life. Key: 1. run at 2. terrible sadness 3. a big smile 4. killing himself 5. one small gesture Task 2: How to build lifelong friendship?You may have a lot of friends and expect your friendships to last a lifetime. However, not everybody can make lifelong friendships. Friends sometimes misunderstand each other. For one thing, you may want your friends to be near at hand, but also you need your independence and privacy. For example, when one of your friends es asking if it is all right to spend the evening in your house, sometimes you just say “no” to him or her because it is not convenient for you. Unfortunately, not all your friends understand this type of independence. They believe that friends can ask for any favor and the answer should always be “yes”. Also, misunderstanding sometimes occurs when you ask for help. You expect your friends to help you mo matter what the circumstances are. But the fact is, your friends may not always drop everything to satisfy each of your needs. This may make you angry with them and your friendship could fade. The most important thing for you and your friends to do is to always show understanding and respect for each other.Key: Unit 4 How’s weather today?II.

Listening InTask 1: Weather ForecastingWe all know that people cannot control the weather. However, we can predict important short term changes. This is called weather forecasting. Many people rely on the weatherperson to provide that information, but one method of weather forecasting is simply to use your eyes and brains. For example, if you see a rainbow in rainy weather in the evening, it means that weather will soon be clear and fine. Sometimes d
