13、t, Mike and Clare are in Cairo in Egypt, one of the biggest and busiest cites in Africa. They moved here with their parents two years ago. Their father, Peter, works for a very big pany. The pany has offices in many countries, and it has sent Peter to work in Germany, France and China before. Peter

14、usually stays in a country for about two years. Then the pany moves him again. His family always goes with him. The Robinsons love seeing the world. They have been to many interesting places. For example, in Egypt, they have seen the Pyramids, travelled on a boat on the Nile River, and visited the p

15、alaces and towers of ancient kings and queens. Mike and Clare have also begun to learn the language of the country, Arabic. This language is different from English in many ways, and they find it hard to spell and pronounce the words. However, they still enjoy learning it. So far they have learnt to

16、speak German, French, Chinese and Arabic. Sometimes they mix the languages. “Its really fun, said Clare. The Robinsons are moving again. The pany has asked Peter to work back in the US.

17、 US. They are counting down the days.M3 Unit 1 Has it arrived yet ?Daming: Hi, Tony. What are you up to?Tony: Hi, Daming.

19、ip?Tony: No, there arent.Daming: Why? Astronauts have already been to the moon.Tony: Yes, but no one has been to Mars yet, because Mars is very far away, much farther than the moon.

20、et information on space travel?Tony: You can go online to search for the information.Daming: I will. Thank you, Tony!Unit 2 We have not found life on any other planets yet.Scientists think that there has been life on earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we have not found life on any oth

21、er planets yet. The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not think they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a

22、 small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are very far away and their light has to travel for many y

23、ears to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.Scientists have sent spaceships to the plant of Mars to take photos. They even have sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach near other stars in our Galaxy.S

24、cientists have always asked the question: With so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? Why has no one municated with us? We do not know the answersyet.M4 Unit 1 I havent done much exercise since I got
