人教版2019 高中英语新教材 必修一 课本Unit 1 The Freshman ChallengeHi! My name is Adam and Im a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing.First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones: maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and Im good at it.I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didnt play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I wont quit. Ill find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community.I know Ill have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. Im a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced course, and itll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, Im happy to be there. Studying hard isnt always fun, but Ill be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.Unit 2 Explore PeruPeru is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas: narrow, dry flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest.In the 1400s and 1500s, Peru was the centre of the powerful ancient Inca Empire.

They player who became known as “Air Jordan” changed basketball with his graceful moves and jumps. Jordans skills were impressive, but the mental strength that he showed made him unique. In the final seconds of a game, Jordan always seemed to find a way to win. Jordan says that the secret to his success is leaning form his failures. “I can accept failure; everyone fails at something. But I cant accept not trying.” Losing games taught him to practice harder and never give up. In life, Jordan has learnt to share his success with others.
