I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see. After about a kilometre, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied, “youll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything. Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world. I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 k ilometres below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still wont reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? Its 20 kilometres, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance…over 400 kilometres long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. Its huge! That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question. Its not “How deep is it?” or “How wide is it?” or “How long is it?” but “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?” I know the answer. But what do you think? 自然界最伟大的奇观我到达的时候是一大早，天正在下雨。
我走出汽车，穿过一个门口，沿着一条小路前行在东方，天空正在变亮，但路边仍然很黑我知道，它就在那里，但什么也看不见大约过了1000米，一个陌生人出现在我面前我问：“我走的路对吗？他知道我要去哪里他回答：“对，5分钟后你就会到那里最后，我来到一些岩石旁边停下我仔细地从这些岩石上面看，但是天仍然太黑，我看不见任何东西突然，云散了，雨停了太阳从我身后升起，它离那些岩石很远我看见地面沉降到下面深谷中的一条河里，离我特别遥远我站在自然界的奇观之一 ——大峡谷的边缘我俯视着距我大约2000米之遥的科罗拉多河如果你把世界上最高的三座建筑物放在峡谷的底部，它们也不能达到顶部然后，我眺望峡谷的另一边，它多远？20000米或许更远最后，我向左右遥望，在两边，大峡谷消失在远方……400多千米长大峡谷不仅是大它是巨大！那天早上在大峡谷的边缘，我问了自己一个问题它不是“它多深？”或者“它多宽？”或者“它多长？”而是“大峡谷是自然界最伟大的奇观吗？”我知道答案但是你怎样认为？Module 2 Great booksUnit1 Confucius’ works are read by many people.Hello, Betty. Whats up? What are you doing in the library?I was looking for some old copies of the school magazine. If Ive got it right, it was called New Standard.Thats right. As far as I remember, it was started by Becky Wang.We dont have a school magazine any more. Its a pity.Well, Im thinking about starting it again.Sounds like a good idea! Go on.I was also looking for something by Confucius and by Shakespeare.Really? Thats a bit difficult for the school magazine.Well, Id like a monthly article called “Great Books”--- you know, someone reads a favourite work of literature and writes an article about it.I see. Confucius works are still read by many people today, and were still influenced by his thoughts. And Shakespeares plays are seen by millions of people every year. But how about an American writer, Mark Twain, for example.I dont know. Mark Twain was an important writer, but he isnt known as a great thinker like Confucius.No, but his books are still popular. In fact, he wrote my favourite bo。
