The king and the rice
A
long time ago, there was a king in India. The king’s favourite game
was chess.
One
day, a wise old man came to the palace and the king challenged him
to a game. The king promised the old man, “ You can have any prize
if you win the game.”
The
old man said, “If I win the game, I’d like one grain of rice for
the fit square of the chessboard, two for the second, four for
the third, and then double the amount for each of the rest of the
squares.”
“Is
that all?” asked the king. “Wouldn’t you like gold or silver
itead?”
“No,
just rice,” replied the old man.
The
king and the old man played the game for a long time. Finally, the
old man won. So the king ordered his men to collect a bag of rice.
He put one grain on the fit square, two on the second, and so on.
The king quickly realized the problem --- even with all the rice in
the country, he would still not have enough rice to put on all the
squares!
国王和大米
很久很久以前,有个印度的国王。国王最喜欢的比赛是国际象棋。
有一天,一个睿智的老人来到皇宫,国王向他挑战比赛。国王允诺老人:“如果你赢得比赛你可以拥有任何奖品,。”
老人说“如果我赢得比赛:,我想要一粒大米在棋盘的第一个方格,两粒在第二个,四粒在第三个,然后使每个剩余的方格在数量上加倍。”
“就这些吗?”国王问道。“难道你不想要金银来代替?”
“不,只是大米,老人回答说:。
国王和老人玩了很长时间。最后,老人赢了。国王命令他的助手们收集了一袋大米。他把一粒放在第一个方格,两粒在第二个,以此类推。国王很快意识到这一问题即使算上这个国家的所有大米,他仍然没有足够的大米放满所有的方格!

Counting before numbe
Before
the invention of written number, people used many different ways to
count numbe.
Before the
invention of written numbe, people used many different ways to
count things.
At fit, people use their finge, and even their toes. However,
they could only count small numbe in this way.
After that, they began to make small marks on sticks and bones.
This helped them count bigger numbe. They used them to count the
days of the month, the amount of food and the number of animals
they have.
Then people began to use toke made from clay or small stones.
This helped them count even bigger numbe. They often put the
toke on pieces of string so that they could carry them around
easily. This developed into tools like the abacus.
Finally, people began to develop systems of written marks to show
different numbe, and this led to the Hindu---Arabic system(0-9).
We are still using this system today.

Computer facts
Smaller and
better
In
the 1940s, the fit compute were bigger than ca. Now compute
are becoming smaller and better.
Some
compute are tiny. You may be unaware of them. There is probably
one iide your TV or washing machine. You depend on compute more
than you realize.
What
can we do with compute?
We
can use compute to calculate. They can calculate at a faster
speed than we can and almost never give wrong awe. We can also
type and draw things with them. In addition, compute can do
important jobs like operating railways and flying planes and
spaceships.
Is a
computer cleverer than me?
The
awer is “No”. Your brain can produce new ideas but compute
cannot. However, one day compute may be able to a better job than
human beings. For example, they may be better than docto at doing
their job.
What
will happen to us if compute can do all our jobs? Will we have
nothing to do? Compute may change our lives, but will they make
them better?
电脑的事实
越小越好
在1940年代,第一台计算机比汽车大。现在电脑变得越小越好。
一些电脑很? D憧赡芏济挥幸馐兜剿?恰?赡茉谀愕�电视或洗衣�?锞陀幸桓觥D惚饶懔私獾降母?右览档缒浴?
我们可以用电脑做什么?
我们可以用电脑来计算。他们可以以更快的速度比我们所能计算,几乎从未给错误的答案。我们也可以用它们打字和画画。此外,电脑能做重要的工作如作铁路系统,驾驶飞机和宇宙飞船。
计算机比我聪明吗?
答案是“不”。你的大脑能产生新想法,但计算机不能。然而,有一天计算机可以比人类更好的工作。例如,他们可能比医生更好地做他们的工作。
如果电脑能做所有的工作会对我们发生什么?我们会无事可做吗?电脑可能会改变我们的生活,但是他们会使生活更好吗?

4 Inventio
Great
inventio
Great inventio
change the world. They help people live a better life. The
following are three of the most important inventio in
history.
The
wheel
The
wheel is perhaps the greatest invention in history. After its
invention, travelling became faster and more comfortable. A few
thousand yea ago, people started to use wheels on carriages. In
the early 19th century, the fit trai began to carry passenge.
At the start of the 20th century, ca became popular. Without the
wheel, we would not have these inventio.
The
telephone
Alexander Graham
Bell invented one of the fit practical telephones in 1876. Since
then, people have been able to speak to each other over long
distances. Today millio of people across the world own mobile
phones. They allow people to keep in touch with each other anytime,
anywhere.
The
light bulb
Thomas Edison
developed the fit practical light bulb in 1879. Before the
invention of the light bulb, people had to use oil lamps, gas lamps
or candles to see at night. With light bulbs, people can do as many
things in the evening as they can in the daytime. Can you imagine
living without them?
伟大的发明
伟大的发明改变世界。他们帮助人们过上更好的生活。以下是三个历史上最重要的发明。轮子
车轮也许是历史上最伟大的发明。它发明后,
旅行变得更快、更舒适。几千年前,人们开始使用轮子在马车上。在19世纪早期,第一列火车开始载客。20世纪初,汽车开始流行起来。没有轮子,我们将没有这些发明。
电话
亚历山大•格雷厄姆•贝尔于1876年发明了第一个实用的电话。从那时起,人们已经能够长距离彼此说话。今天世界各地数以百万计的人们拥有手机。他们使得人们彼此保持联系在任何时间,任何地方。
灯泡
托马斯•爱迪生在1879年开发第一个实用的灯泡。在灯泡的发明之前,
在晚上人们必须使用油灯,气体灯或蜡烛来看。有了灯泡,人们在晚上可以像在白天一样做尽可能多的事情。你能想象没有他们的生活吗?

5 Educational exchanges
An
exchange visit is educational and interesting!
A
group of British students from Woodpark School in London are
visiting Xinhua Junior High School in Beijing on an educational
exchange.
“I
was very nervous at fit,” says Sarah. “However, my host family
are really friendly. I’m glad to be a guest in their home. I’ve
learnt to use chopsticks, and they’re teaching me a little
Chinese!”
The
students spend the weekdays studying with Chinese students. At the
weekend, they tour around Beijing and visit places of interest with
their host families.
“It’s been a
fantastic experience so far,” says Eric. “ I’ve learnt a bit of
t’ai chi, and I really enjoy it. We’ve already learnt a lot about
Chinese culture and history. The teache have introduced us to
Chinese painting as well. We’ll also tried to paint some pictures
ouelves! I haven’t had much success yet, but I’ll keep
trying.”
“I’ve made many new
friends,” says Sarah.”I plan to keep in touch with them when I
return home. We’ll see one another soon because they’ll come over
to the UK for the second part of the exchange next month. I can’t
wait!”
教育交流
交换访问有教育意义,并且很有趣!
一批来自伦敦Woodpark学校的英国学生正在一次教育交流中访问北京新华初中学校。
“一开始我很紧张,”莎拉说。“不过,我的寄宿家庭真的很友好。我很高兴成为他们家里的一个客人。我已学会了用筷子,并且他们正在教我一些汉语!”
学生们平日和中国学生一起学习。周末,他们到北京周边旅游,和他们的寄宿家庭一起参观名胜古迹。
“迄今为止都是一个奇妙的经历”,埃里克说。“我已经学会了太极拳,,我真的很喜欢它。我们已经学到了很多关于中国文化和历史。老师还向我们介绍中国画。我们还将尝试自己画一些画!我还没有取得成功,但我会继续努力。”
“我已交了许多新朋友,”莎拉说。“我打算当我回到家与他们保持联系,。我们很快就能见到彼此,因为他们将在下个月第二部分交流的时候来英国。我等不及了!”

6 Ancient stories
The
Trojan hoe
The
capital stood on the high wall of the city of Troy. “The Greeks
have gone and we’ve won,” he said. “ They’ve tried to capture our
city for ten yea. Now they’ve given up and sailed
away!”
“But
look over there,” a soldier said. “They’ve left a huge wooden
hoe.”
“Ah,
yes,” the captain said, “it’s too big. The Greeks didn’t want to
take it with them. Get some help and pull it into the
city.”
That
night, in the main square of the city, all the Troja celebrated.
They sang and danced around the hoe, and made jokes about the
stupid Greeks. “I haven’t laughed like this since my childhood,”
the captain said. After the party, they locked all the gates of the
city and then all went to sleep.
By
midnight, the main square was empty, except for the huge hoe.
Suddenly a secret door opened on the side of the wooden hoe. The
hoe was full of Greek soldie! They quietly climbed out of the
hoe one by one.
The
soldie opened the main gates. The Greek army entered the
city.
For
ten yea, the Greeks could not capture the city by fighting. In
one night, however, they succeeded in capturing it through a clever
trick.
古代故事
特洛伊木马
首领站在特洛伊城的高墙上。“希腊人已经走了,我们赢了,”他说。“他们试图占领我们的城市已经十年了。现在他们已经放弃并且起航走了!”
“但看那边,”一名士兵说。“他们留下了一个巨大的木马。”
“啊,是的,”船长说,“它太大了。希腊人不想带着它。找些帮手把它拖进城。”
那天晚上,在城市的广场,所有特洛伊人在庆祝。他们在马边唱歌跳舞,开着关于愚蠢的希腊人的玩笑。“我自小时候起就没有这样笑了,”首领说。晚会之后,他们锁了城市的所有大门,然后去睡觉。
午夜,广场是空的,除了巨大的马。突然木马一边一个秘密的门开了。马里面全都是希腊士兵!他们悄悄地一个个爬出木马。
士兵们打开了大门。希腊军队进入了城市。
长达十年来,希腊不能通过战争占领此城。然而,在一天晚上,他们通过一个聪明的伎俩成功地占领。

7 Memory
Henry, Paula and
Millie write for the school newspaper. They have written the short
articles below to help students improve their
memory.
Memory
Corner
Henry
A
great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of
it in your mind. If you make the picture big, strange or silly, you
will remember it better. For example, to remember the word
“smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” between the fit letter
and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the
world.
Paula
A
good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a
short sentence with each letter of the word. For example, if you
want to remember how to spell the word “because”, you can use the
sentence “Big elephants can always undetand small
elephants”.
Millie
You
will forget something very quickly unless you undetand it well.
For example, you may have trouble remembering the list of steps in
the water cycle. However, it is easier to remember these steps if
you undetand how the water cycle works.
亨利,宝拉和米莉学校的报纸写文章。他们写了下面的短文章来帮助学生提高他们的记忆。
记忆角
亨利
来帮助你记住东西的一个很好的方法是在你的头脑中想象它的图片。如果你让这幅画大,奇怪的或者愚蠢的,你会更好地记住它。例如,要记? 拔⑿Α闭飧龃?我们可以想象在第一个字母和最后一个字母之间存在一“英里”。这使它成为世界上最长的单词。宝拉
记住一个单词的拼写的一个好方法是让单词的每个字母来造一个短句子。例如,如果你想记住如何拼写“因为”这个词,您可以使用这个句子“大象总是可以理解小象”。米莉
你将很快忘记某东西,除非你理解它。例如,您可能很难记住水循环的系列步骤。然而,
如果你理解水循环是如何运作的会更容易记住这些步骤。

8 English Week
English: fun for

English Week at
Rosie Bridge School
Last
week, students at Rosie Bridge School worked hard to make their
English Week a big success.
There was an
English book fair in the library and a treasure hunt. Some students
put on an English play. Other students took part in an English
singing competition.
There was also a
speaking competition. The students had to speak on a topic in
English for two minutes.
We
spoke to the winner, Henry. “I’m so happy that I won,” he said. “I
advise people to speak slowly. If they want to be good public
speake, they’d better speak clearly and
confidently.”
We
also spoke to several other students about English Week. One of
them was Amy.
“I
really enjoyed English Week. It gave me a chance to learn new
words. In my opinion, every school should have an English Week.
It’s well worth doing,” she said.
On
the last day of English Week, the head teacher gave a speech to the
whole school. He gave students some suggestio on how to improve
their English. “You should communicate in English with your friends
whenever you can. You should read English books and magazines, and
watch English television programmes. Above all, you should enjoy
English!” he said.
