[00:04.28]1.Listen,read and practice in pairs.

[00:10.63]Have you ever seen a car accident? How would tell a policeman about it?

[00:16.80]Let's see what Li Meng and Xiaohong are doing.

[00:21.55]Xialhong:Look! Li Meng.That grey car has just hit a black one.

[00:27.01]Oh,no,look at all the broken glass on the road.Are the drivers still OK?

[00:33.96]Li Meng:I don't think so.Nobody's moving.Let's call the traffic police.

[00:40.49]It's lucky that I bought a mobile phone last week.

[00:44.96]Xiaohong:Be quick,Li Meng.

[00:48.01]LiMeng:Hello?Is that the police station?

[00:51.96]...I'm sorry to have called the wrong number.

[00:56.11]You see we just saw a car accident and need to report to the police.

[01:02.17]Would you check the number for us?....Thanks.

[01:06.74]Xiaohong:I hope you've got the number all right.

[01:10.79]LiMeng:Yes,I think so.It's 000.We should remember that.

[01:17.27]Hello?Is that the police station?

[01:21.11]This is LiMeng calling from Cherry Road,Port Noarlunga.

[01:26.36]We just saw a car accident....

[01:30.12]Xiaohong:What did the policeman say?

[01:33.28]LiMeng:He said they're sending a police car here right now.

[01:38.01]Xiaohong:I think we should call for an ambulance.

[01:42.27]The drivers are still inside the cars.They must be badly hurt.

[01:48.04]LiMeng:The policeman said he would also send an ambulance here.

[01:52.48]Xiaohong:OK now,

[01:55.54]let's go and see if we can do something to help the people in these cars.

[02:00.82]6.Listen,read and act.

[02:05.86]The drivers have been taken to nospital.

[02:09.83]The policeman is now asking LiMeng and Xiaohong some questions.

[02:15.29]Policeman:Thank you for letting us know about the accident.

[02:19.23]Now,can you tell us what you saw please?

[02:23.60]LiMeng:Sure.We were going along this road

[02:27.96]when we saw those two cars hitting each other.

[02:32.50]It was very loud.

[02:35.77]Xiaohong:And nobody else was passing by,

[02:39.71]so we though we should try to let the police know about it quickly.

[02:45.17]Policeman:You did the right thing,kids.And what happened after that?

[02:49.85]Xiaohong:Soon you arrived and the drivers were taken to hospital.

[02:54.99]Policeman:I see.Thank you very much,kids.

[02:59.15]We'll contact you if we need further help from you.

[03:03.30]LiMeng:Yes,of course.We'd be glad to help.

[03:07.56]7.Listen and read.

[03:12.10]Emergency services

[03:15.55]People say that our life would be very peaceful if we had no floods,

[03:21.51]earthquakes,thunder storms and other natural disasters,or man-made emergencies.

[03:28.67]However,these things do exist.

[03:32.82]That's the reason why emergency services are extremely important.

[03:38.46]Everywhere around the world,emergency services help save millions of people.

[03:45.83]They act quickly and appear at accident scenes in no time.

[03:51.78]Sometimes the rescue workers risk their lives,bringing people to safety.

[03:58.05]They help the fractured patient with a bandage;stop the injured from bleeding;

[04:04.51]treat swelling with an ice-pack

[04:08.37]and give the patients the right capsules or tablets.

[04:13.52]The emergency services in the west are a bit different from ours.

[04:19.40]They get many volunteers to work no the rescue teams.

[04:24.96]Some of the emergency service units are made up entirely of volunteers.

[04:31.12]Those volunteers are well trained.

[04:35.70]They receive training in first aid and general rescue techniques.

[04:42.04]They stand ready to assist at a moment's notice,

[04:47.01]often in difficult and dangerous situations.

[04:52.26]They are willing to give up their time to help the community.

[04:57.12]They pride themselves on being able to rescue people from dangerous places.

[05:03.49]Wherever the accidents and threats are,

[05:07.44]the rescue team will soon be there and if you are looking for help,

[05:13.10]the rescue workers can be easily identified

[05:17.83]by their brightly coloured yellow or orange overalls.

[05:23.40]11.Listen,read and act.

[05:28.72]The family is now at the dinner table talking about the ambulance workers.

[05:34.58]LiMeng:You know,they were so quick.

[05:36.61]The men in the cars were carried carefully into the ambulance

[05:41.29]and then they left in no time.

[05:44.95]Mr.Davis:Yeah.A minute might mean life or death.

[05:49.39]Xiaohong:I think I'll be an ambulance worker when I grow up.

[05:54.14]LiMeng:That;s usually a man's job.

[05:58.09]Xiaohong:So what?A girl can do everything a man does.

[06:02.81]Mrs.Davis:Well,you can work as a nurse,or even a doctor,dear.

[06:07.88]You also help many people in those jobs.

[06:12.24]Xiaohong:Yeah.I never thought about it.Doctors are always treated with respect.

[06:18.59]LiMeng:Sure.But do you know if you want to become a doctor,

[06:23.45]you have to do well in Maths?

[06:27.24]Daniel:I don't think Maths is a problem to her.

[06:31.50]Unit 4 How often do you exercise?

[06:36.96]1.Listen and read in pairs.

[06:42.42]Have you heard of something called a "workout"?

[06:46.36]What do you do when you work out?Read this dialogue and find out.

[06:52.92]LiMeng:Where have you been,Xiaohong?You look so hot.

[06:57.59]Xiaohong:I've just had a work-out with some friends.It was really exciting.

[07:04.12]LiMeng:A work-out?What's that?

[07:08.38]Xiaohong:Exercises.

[07:11.31]We had a fitness instructor in the front showing us what to do

[07:16.87]and we just followed her.

[07:20.11]LiMeng:Oh,that?I don't need a fitness instructor to tell me what to do.

[07:26.28]I know how to exercise.

[07:29.83]Xiaohong:But this was different.

[07:32.99]You see,we followed steps called"routines"and the music was also no.

[07:39.55]I wish I had the shape of our instructor.

[07:43.80]LiMeng:Girls!They just care about how they look.

[07:48.66]Xiaohong:It that so?

[07:51.82]Then why did you talk about your build with Daniel the other day?

[07:57.28]LiMeng:Well,we were talking about building our muscles for the soccer matches.

[08:03.16]Xiaohong:Anyway,I think I'll shape up quickly with all the work-outs I'm going to do.

[08:09.51]I'll be nice and fit.

[08:13.14]LiMeng:I hope you've found something that fits you.Good luck.

[08:17.97]Xiaohong:Thanks.Just wait and see.

[08:21.60]6.Listen,read and act.

[08:26.93]How will you feet the day after you've exercised?

[08:31.66]If you've been exercising all the time,you should be feeling great.

[08:37.62]But if it was the first time,then what would happen?

[08:42.89]LiMeng:Xiaohong,where are you?It's time for breakfast.

[08:47.93]Xiaohong:I don't know.I feel sore all over.I don't want to move.

[08:54.00]LiMeng:I knew you'd be like this.What did you do exactly yesterday?

[08:59.64]Xiaohong:Our instructor first asked us to test our fitness.

[09:05.10]We stepped up and down the stairs for 3 minutes and then checked our heart rate.

[09:11.44]LiMeng:The lower the beart rate,the stronger you are.

[09:16.02]Xiaohong:Right.Then we did some stetches and some other routines.

[09:21.35]LiMeng:You've never stretched those muscles much before,have you?

[09:26.49]That's why you feel so sore now.

[09:30.33]Xiaohong:I guess so.Now I understand the word"routines".You can't do it once only.

[09:37.70]7.Listen an read.

[09:42.14]How often do you exercise?

[09:46.08]How often do you exercise?Many of you may answer."I don't exercise at all."

[09:53.21]In fact,physical fitness helps you look strong and be healthy.

[09:59.48]Regular exercise helps you avoid or recover more quickly from colds and other minor illnesses.

[10:07.53]Engaging in regular exercise gives you more energy

[10:12.57]for all of your favourite activities and a longer,healthier life.

[10:18.95]People who exercise regularly say they do it because,"it makes me feel good."

[10:25.71]This feeling comes from simple,daily exercise.

[10:30.75]A quick walk,a short jog,or even just several stretches during your day

[10:37.81]can help relieve stress and improve your world.

[10:42.66]Doing regular exercise is fun.

[10:47.84]You can choose an activity you like or want to do

[10:52.49]but you need to remember to start any exercises slowly and peogress gradually.

[11:00.14]Don't do lots of wcercises one day and then nothing the next day.

[11:05.70]Find a partner,plan your exercise and then exercise regularly.

[11:12.68]You need to keep track of your achievements.

[11:17.12]Reward yourself if you finish your tadks and reach a goal.

[11:22.58]Buy yourself a new T-shirt or a tennis racket

[11:27.44]or even invite yur friends over to your house or go to the movies together.

[11:33.60]Regular exercise keeps your body in good shape

[11:38.78]and provides you with the energy you need to achieve greater goals.

[11:44.65]9.Listen,read and act.

[11:50.30]Have you ever joined a fitness program and followed an instructor?Listen to this.

[11:57.37]Instructor:Now,everyone,let's do a ballet stretch.

[12:02.23]To start with,please stand like this.

[12:06.60]Xiaohong:Is this right,Miss Kyle?

[12:09.94]Instructor:That's perfect,Xiaohong.

[12:13.41]Now,keep your body facing forward,

[12:17.67]swing your left arm over your head and out to the right.

[12:23.13]You should feel the stretch right down your left side.

[12:28.09]Xiaohong:Oh,yeah.

[12:31.05]Mary:Don't bend your knees,Xiaohong.

[12:34.89]Instructor:Right.Keep your knees straight.

[12:38.94]OK,everyone,return to the starting position and stretch over to the left.

[12:45.31]You're doing just fine,Xiaohong.

[12:48.84]Xiaohong:Am I done?

[12:51.47]Instructor:Not yet.Repeat it 5 times on each side.
