Unit 1 A new start 课文预习笔记 My first day at senior high Monday 4 September After I had pictured it over and over again in my mind, the big day finally arrived: my first day at senior high! I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to get to know my new school. The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit. I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “New here ” Turing around, I saw a white-haired man. “Yes,” I replied. “I’m wondering what life is going to be like here.” “Don’t worry,” he gave me a smile. “You’ll soon find out.” How true these words were! When my English teacher stepped into the classroom, I was surprised to see the same man I had met earlier. “Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I’ll go first…” “What !” I tried to turn on my brain but the engine just wouldn’t start. “I should say my name, of course. But what else What could I say to make a good first impression Something about my insect collection, perhaps.” I was organizing my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge. “It’s your turn!” With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. “Hi, I’m Meng Hao.” Everyone started laughing. I looked at them in panic. “Nice to know we share the same name,” said my new teacher. I had been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed, his words made me a lot more relaxed! When we had all introduced ourselves, Mr Meng said, “Well done, everyone! I know this isn’t easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face at senior high. Challenges like this might sometimes put you under pressure. But it all depends on what you do. Keep calm and be prepared. That way, you’ll make the most of your time at senior high.” People say, “Well begun, half done.” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life. 短语归纳： 1.over and over again 反复；再三 2.rush out of 冲出 3.in one's eagerness to do sth. 急切地做某事 4.decide to do sth. 决定做某事 5.look at 看 6.turn around 转身 7.be going to be like......会是...........样 8.find out 弄清楚；查明 9.step into 走进 10.be surprised to do sth. 很惊讶做某事 11.one by one 一个接一个地 12.introduce oneself to sb. 向某人自我介绍 13.try to do sth. 努力做某事 14.turn on 打开；发动 15.make a good first impression(on) 留下好的第一印象 16.organize one's words 组织语言 17.give sb. a nudge 轻推某人一下 18.It's one's turn! 轮到某人了！ 19.with butterflies in one's stomach 心里七上八下；心里紧张 20.in panic 惊恐地 21.share the same name 有相同的名字 22.too + 形容词 + to do 太.....而不能..... 23.pay attention (to)注意 24.a lot more 用于比较级结构，表示“……得多” 修饰形容词比较级 25.be going to face 将要面临 26.challenges like this 像这样的挑战 27.put sb. under pressure 给某人施加压力 28.depend on 取决于；依靠 29.keep calm 保持冷静 30.be prep ... ...
