Unit 1 Getting along with others
每一位人的生活都与其他人息息相关。那么,如何才能与他人和平相处呢?文章
给出了几条行之有效的建议。
Everyone knows that our life is connected with others.So we should learn to
communicate with the people around us. But not everyone is getting along well with
others without troubles.I’d like to make some suggestions for this topic how to get
along well with others.
In my opinion,we should always bear it in mind that any good relationship is based
on mutual(相互的) understanding,trust and respect.If we can respect others,we are
friendly with others and treat others sincerely,I think we can win others’ hearts,gain
others’ respects and build up friendship gradually.
In my real life,I can easily find that some people have very good terms with others.
They are quite popular with their classmates or colleagues.I think the secret should be
attributed to their enthusiasm and optimism.There is no doubt that a person who is
ready to help others and to bring joy to others is always welcome.
Maybe sometimes,they could not really help out,but their willingness to help and
their optimistic attitudes towards life move us to such an extent that we are pleased to
be in contact with them.
The last point I’d like to mention is that being broad-minded is also very important.
If a person is narrow-minded,or unable to tolerate others,this person is unlikely to
gain popularity. Being broad-minded means that a person should be kind to others,
he should be good at putting up with others’ faults,and he knows how to appreciate
others. Otherwise,this person can not get along well with others.

Secrets and lies
Dear Annie
I feel betrayed① by my friend Hannah.We have been best friends since primary②
school and spend almost every day with each other.Sometimes,other children say we
are no fun③ because we are both very academic④ and like to study,but we like it that
way.We are both very hard-working and always get good grades at school.
On Monday,we had a surprise⑤ math quiz⑥.I thought it was quite easy and was not
worried about the results.I must have sounded very proud of myself after the quiz,
saying how easy it was and how I was sure to get a good grade.The next day after
class,my math teacher told me that I had the lowest grade in the class! I felt so
ashamed⑦;I must be really stupid⑧ to fail⑨ a simple math quiz!
Afterwards⑩, I pretended⑪ to be cheerful⑫, but Hannah sensed⑬ something was
wrong.We went to wash our hands in the girls’ washroom ⑭ before lunch and I
admitted⑮ how badly I had done.I begged⑯ her not to tell anyone else,and she said
she would keep my secret⑰.
However,the next day,I noticed that my classmates were staring at⑱ me as I came
into math class and,when I went to sit down,I was shocked to find⑲a piece of paper
on my desk that said⑳,‘Stupid Sarah got a D!’ I was so upset that I felt like
○21
crying.I thought that Hannah must have told my classmates about my grade after
promising not to.Everyone must have been laughing behind my back!
I was so angry that I went straight
○22
to Hannah and told her we weren’t going to be
friends any more because she couldn’t keep her word
○23
.She was really upset and
swore
○24
that she hadn’t told anyone.However,the only people who see our grades are
the teacher and the students that the grades belong to.She said that someone must
have been spying on
○25
us in the washroom,but I didn’t believe her explanation.I don’t
think I can ever truly
○26
forgive
○27
her.Now I’ve lost my best friend.What shall I do?
Yours sincerely

Sarah
课文译文
秘密和谎言
亲爱的安妮:
我觉得我的朋友汉娜背叛了我。从小学起我俩就是最好的朋友,几乎每天都在一
起。因为我们成绩好,喜爱学习,其他同学有时会说我们俩没趣,但我们喜欢那
样。我们都很用功,成绩在学校一直很优秀。
星期一那天,我们进行了一次突袭性的数学小测验。我以为它非常简单,一点也
不担心考试成绩。小测验之后,我说起话来听上去一定洋洋自得,说它实在太简
单了,我肯定能取得好成绩。第二天下课后,我的数学老师告诉我,我得了全班
最低分!我感到非常羞愧,这么简单的数学小测验没能及格,我真是笨极了!
后来,我假装很开心,但汉娜还是觉察到哪儿有点不对劲。午餐前,我们一起去
女生洗手间时,我承认我考得有多么糟糕。我求她不要告诉别人,她说她会替我
保守秘密。
但是第二天,当我走进数学课教室时,我注意到同学们在盯着我看。当我坐下时,
我惊讶地发现桌子上有一张纸,上面写着:“笨蛋萨拉得了 D等!”我难过得想
哭。我想汉娜一定是在答应过我不会告诉任何人之后将我的成绩告诉了同学们。
大家一定都在背后嘲笑我!
我非常生气,径直走到汉娜跟前,告诉她我们不再是朋友了,因为她不能信守诺
言。她很不安,发誓说她没有告诉任何人。但是,能看到成绩的人只有老师和学
生自己。她说一定是有人在洗手间偷听了我们的谈话,但我不相信她的解释。我
想我永远也不会真正原谅她。现在,我失去了我最好的朋友。我该怎么办呢?
你真诚的,
萨拉

A friendship in trouble①
Dear Annie
My name is Andrew.I am 17 years old and I have a problem.My best friend Matthew
has stopped talking to me.We have been best friends since childhood② and play
together in the school football team.Last week,we had an important match against③
another school.The other team was superb④ and we really had to focus⑤.I was
determined to win⑥, but Matthew was playing badly.He could not keep pace with⑦
the game,and as a result of⑧ his careless playing we lost.
Afterwards,I got really angry with him,and I told him I thought he was not trying
hard enough.He got annoyed⑨,saying it wasn’t his fault if he couldn’t play as well as⑩
me,and that I shouldn’t talk to him in this manner⑪.Then we both started shouting at
each other and it turned into⑫ a horrible⑬ argument.He accused⑭ me of some
really bad things just to hurt me.I feel really guilty⑮ because I made some cruel⑯
remarks⑰ too,but I dislike⑱ seeing our team lose.Football is very important to me,
but so is our friendship.
Since we argued⑲,he hasn’t spoken to me even though we sit next to each other in
class.It’s really awkward⑳ .He is usually cheerful and outgoing
○21
,but he has been
really quiet and looks sad.The things he said hurt me too,but he has not apologized
○22
to me.
Yesterday,I saw him talking to another boy,Peter, and I cannot help wondering if he
wants Peter to be his best friend instead of
○23
me.I told my brother about the quarrel
○24
,
but he said Matthew is just too sensitive
○25
and perhaps a little bitter
○26
because I am
really athletic
○27
and good at football,and that I had better find another friend.What
should I do?
Yours truly
Andrew
陷入困境的友谊
亲爱的安妮:
我叫安德鲁。我 17岁,碰到了一个难题。我最好的朋友马修已经停止跟我说话
了。我们从小就是最好的朋友,一起在学校足球队踢球。上个星期,我们与另一
所学校进行了一场重要的比赛。另外一支球队很棒,我们必须集中精力。我下决
心要赢得比赛,但马修踢得很糟糕。他跟不上比赛的节奏,由于他的漫不经心,
我们输掉了比赛。
后来,我非常生他的气,并告诉他说我觉得他没有尽全力。他被惹火了,说如果
他的球技不如我好,那并不是他的错,还说我不该以这种方式和他说话。然后我
们俩都开始冲着对方大喊大叫,结果我们的喊叫变成了可怕的争执。他指责我做
了一些非常不好的事情,只是为了伤害我。我感到很内疚,因为我也说了一些残
酷无情的话,但我不喜欢看到我们队输球。足球对我很重要,但我们的友谊也很
重要。
虽然我们在教室里是邻座,但自从吵架之后,他便没有和我说过话。这实在令人
尴尬。他通常快乐外向,但最近一直沉默寡言,看起来很难过。他说的那些话也
伤害了我,但他并未向我道歉。
昨天,我看见他和另一个男孩彼得说话,我不禁想知道他是不是想让彼得取代我
做他最好的朋友。我把吵架的事告诉了我哥哥,但他说马修只是太敏感,可能还
有一点忌妒,因为我身强体壮,足球踢得很好。他说我最好另找一个朋友。我该
怎么办呢?
你真诚的,
安德鲁

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Sure,it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes that time you spend in
the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher
because,in general,it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people
you’ll meet throughout your life.
But really,there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your
teacher.Kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more,but also they’re
more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help.This makes it easier to
understand new material and do your best on tests.When you have this kind of
relationship with a teacher,he or she can be someone to turn to with problems,such
as learning or school issues and bullying.
As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your
life.You’re able to take in lots of new and exciting information.Apart from that,
you’re able to think about all this information in new ways.Your teacher knows that,
and in most cases,he or she is thrilled to be the person who’s giving you all that
material and helping you put it together.Remember teachers are people,too,and they
feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you.That’s why they wanted to be
teachers in the first place!
Some kids may be able to learn in any situation,whether they like the teacher or
not.But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher,and if
things aren’t going well,they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.
