 短文 When I first arrived on this island, I had nothing. But I've found the ship and made a small boat. I've brought back many things I can use -- food and drink, tools, knives and guns. Although I have lost everything, I have not lost my life. So I will not give up and I will wait for another ship. I have already cut down tree and built a house. I go out with my gun almost every day to kill animals and birds for food. I'm even learning to grow fruit and vegetables.

A few weeks ago, I found the marks of another man's feet on the sand. Who else is on my island? How long have they been here? Not long after that, I saw some cannibals trying to kill two men from a broken ship. One of them died but the other ran towards my house. I helped him kill the cannibals. This man now live with me and help me. I named him Friday because that was the day I met him. He is smart and I have already taught him some English. 当我第一次来到这个岛上时，我一无所有。 但我找到了船，做了一只小船。 我带回了许多我能用的东西——食物、饮料、工具、刀和枪。 虽然我失去了一切，但我没有失去我的生命。 所以我不会放弃，我会等待另一艘船。 我已经砍了树，盖了房子。 我几乎每天都带着枪出去猎杀动物和鸟类作为食物。 我甚至在学习种植水果和蔬菜。

几周前，我在沙滩上发现了另一个人的脚印。 还有谁在我的岛上？ 他们在这里多久了？ 在那之后不久，我看到一些食人族试图杀死一艘破船上的两个人。 其中一个死了，但另一个跑向我家。 我帮他杀了食人族。 这个人现在和我住在一起，帮助我。 我给他起名叫星期五，因为那天是我遇见他的日子。 他很聪明，我已经教过他一些英语了。

A Country Music Song Changed Her Life Forever


When Sarah was teenager, she used to fight over almost everything with her family. But five years ago, while she was studying abroad in England, she heard a song full of feelings about returning home on the radio. It made Sarah think about her family and friends back in the US. She came to realize how much she actually missed all of them. Ever since then, she has been a fan of American country music.

Country is a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. Nashville, Tennessee is the home of country music. Many songs these days are just about modern life in the US, such as the importance of money and success, but not about belonging to a group. However, country music brings us back to the "good old days" when people were kind to each other and trusted on another. It reminds us that the best things in life are free -- laughter, friends, family, and the beauty of nature and the countryside.

Sarah hasn't been to Nashville yet, but it is her dream to go there one day. She has already read a lot about the place and done some research on it. She knows that there is the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. There are also always a lot of great country music concerts with famous musicians and singers, like Garth Brooks. Sarah has already listened to most of his songs. "Garth is one of the most successful musicians in American history. He's sold more than 120 million records. I hope to see him sing live one day!"

一首乡村音乐歌曲永远改变了她的生活


莎拉十几岁的时候，几乎每件事都要和家人争吵。 但五年前，当她在英国留学时，她从收音机里听到了一首充满回家情怀的歌。 这让莎拉想起了她在美国的家人和朋友。 她开始意识到她是多么想念他们。 从那以后，她一直是美国乡村音乐的粉丝。

乡村音乐是美国南部各州的一种传统音乐。 田纳西州的纳什维尔是乡村音乐的发源地。 如今，许多歌曲都是关于美国的现代生活，比如金钱和成功的重要性，而不是关于属于一个群体。 然而，乡村音乐把我们带回到“美好的过去”，那时人们彼此友好，相互信任。 它提醒我们，生活中最美好的东西是免费的——笑声、朋友、家庭，以及大自然和乡村的美景。

莎拉还没去过纳什维尔，但她的梦想是有一天能去那里。 她已经读了很多关于这个地方的书，并做了一些研究。 她知道纳什维尔有乡村音乐名人堂和博物馆。 也总是有很多伟大的乡村音乐会，有著名的音乐家和歌手，像加斯·布鲁克斯。 莎拉已经听过大部分的歌了。 “加斯是美国历史上最成功的音乐家之一。 他的唱片销量超过1.2亿张。 我希望有一天能看到他现场演唱！” 总结 Summarizing

Notes on the Text

1. Have you at least read the back of the book to see what it’s about? 至少你已经读过书的背面，了解了它的大致内容了吧？
 此句中的动词 see 表示 “（通过查看、打听等）弄清、了解；查看、发现（信息或事实）”。作这种用法时，see 常接 how, what, when 等引导的宾语从句。

例如：

He agreed to go with me to see what was wrong. 他同意跟我去了解一下毛病出在哪里？
First of all, we need to take some time to see how it works. 首先，我们需要花些时间了解一下它是如何运作的。

2. The book report is due in two weeks. 读书报告两周后必须交。
 此处 due 为形容词，意思是 ”预定；预期；预计“，后边引出预期的时间、地点等，还常常构成短语 be due (to do something) 或 be due (for something)。

例如：

Our plane is due at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport at 12:30. 我们的飞机预计于 12:30 降落在上海虹桥国际机场。
Rose is due to start school in January. 罗丝一月份就要开始上学了。
You are due for a medical examinatioin next month. 你的身体检查预定在下个月（必须完成）。

3. The Toms must be popular. 汤姆乐队一定很受欢迎。
 1）此处 the Toms 是一个虚构的音乐团队的名称，可能是由若干个名叫 Tom 的男子所组成（或起主要作用）的乐队。英语中 ”the + 姓或名的复数形式“ 这一结构可用来表示某一群体，如表示某一姓氏的家庭，或同名的某几个人组成的小群体。

如：

the Greens（格林一家，相当于 the Green family），the Jacks（杰克小组；杰克社团；杰克帮）等。

 2）此句中情态动词 must 的意思是 ”一定；准是“，而非 ”必须“。作这一用法时，must 表示推测，暗含很大的可能性。

又如：

They must be there by now. 他们现在准到那儿了。

 情态动词表示推测的用法将在九年级正式学习。

4. the “good old days” 过去的好时光
 英语中 the good old days 是一个习惯用语，指一个人人生中或历史上的一段比现在更好的幸福时光，可译作 ”过去的好日子“。

例如：

I wish my grandma would stop talking about the good old days. 我真希望我奶奶能停止唠叨那过去的好时光。
In the good old days, going to a movie only cost 5 cents. 在当初的好日子里，去看一场电影只要5分钱就够了。

5. I hope to see him sing live one day! 我希望有一天看到他现场演唱！
 1）see someone do something 是一个常见的结构，表示 ”看见某人做某事“。英语中有一些表示感知的动词，如 see（看）、watch（观看）、feel（感觉）、hear（听到）、listen to（听）、smell（嗅）等用于主动态时，后面可以接名词（或代词）+ 不带 to 的不定式（或 -ing 形式）。

又如：

I watched them get on the bus one by one, and then we waved goodbye to each other. 我看着他们一个个上了公共汽车，然后我们互相挥手道别。

 2）live 可用作动词、形容词或副词，且用作不同词性时发音有所不同。 作动词时，live 读作 /liv/，表示 ”居住；生存；过 … 生活“ 等含义。作形容词和副词时，live 读作 /laiv/。在上面的句子中，live 为副词，意思是 ”在现场直播；在现场表演“。

又如：

Lang Lang is playing live in our city tonight. 郎朗今晚在我们城市举办现场演奏。
