[00:41.72]Lesson 5
[00:45.98]1.Read about metres and answer the questions.
[00:50.73]For thousands of years people used⁴ different ways to measure things.
[00:56.79]Some people measured⁵ things using the size of their king's foot or hand.
[01:02.96]When the king died, they used the new king's foot,and so on.
[01:09.12]This wasn't a very good way to measure things,
[01:13.56]because it wasn't always clear how big or small a thing really was.
[01:20.01]People all over the world used the sun and the moon to measure time.
[01:26.07]However,they all had different numbers of days in a week
[01:31.43]and different numbers of hours in a day.
[01:35.58]In 1584,a scientist called Simon Steve nius
[01:42.24]started to think about a set of measures⁷ which used the number ten,
[01:48.30]but no one was interested in his ideas.
[01:52.74]About two hundred years later,
[01:56.61]a group of scientists in France decided⁸ to use his ideas.
[02:02.46]They thought of ways to measure everything using ten.
[02:07.71]Among their ideas were some that weren't popular.
[02:12.47]One was a new clock which had ten hours a day.
[02:17.61]The other was a new calendar which had ten days a week.
[02:23.96]The scientists agreed to use metres to measure length
[02:29.42]and they worked out how long a metre should be.
[02:33.99]Then they decided to call a hundredth of a metre a centimetre⁹
[02:40.52]and a thousand metres a kilometre.

[02:54.65]Lesson 6
[02:58.70]1.Listen to Xiaoling talking to a new teacher,Mr Adams,about schools
[03:08.08]and say if the sentences are true (T) or false¹⁰ (F).
[03:13.96]Mr Adams,
[03:17.12]are schools in China the same as school sin⁶ other countries that you've visited?
[03:23.36]Mr Adams:I think that every school is a little different.
[03:27.80]The school that I was at before,for example,was quite unusual.
[03:34.15]Xiaoling:Why?
[03:36.71]Mr Adams:The students came from all over the world.
[03:41.47]They studied many of the same subjects that you yourself take,
[03:47.11]but they studied by themselves a lot of the time,without a teacher.
[03:53.06]They also did special things.
[03:57.14]Xiaoling:What kinds of special things?
[04:01.21]Mr Adams:Well,they helped younger students at the school with their school work
[04:07.56]and they visited old people who didn't have any children or grandchildren¹¹.
[04:13.81]This taught them as much about themselves as about other people.
[04:19.74]Xiaoling:How interesting!
[04:23.11]Mr Adams:They also took part in many difficult and dangerous sports,
[04:28.56]such as rock climbing.
[04:31.73]However,the sport itself was not the most important thing.
[04:37.29]The most important thing was learning¹² to help each other when they were frightened.
[04:43.66]Xiaoling:Studying by yourself,helping¹³ people,rock climbing.
[04:49.83]it certainly sounds different!

[05:27.24]1.Read the story and circle all the proper nouns¹⁴.
[05:33.09]What do they have in common?My friend Xu Meimei is an inventor.
[05:42.05]She works¹⁵ with the doctors and nurses
[05:46.80]at the Number 1 People's Hospital helping sick people.

　　[05:53.04]One of her inventions is a kind of cotton,
[05:58.11]which she calls'Hotcotton' because it changes colour when you get too hot.
[06:05.98]It is now used in many hospitals in China.
[06:11.02]Last August,when Meimei was visiting her friends Sam and Jane in London,
[06:18.46]she thought of another invention.
[06:22.62]The three friends were walking beside the River Thames
[06:28.18]and it started to rain They didn't have umbrellas
[06:34.11]but they were wearing hats.'We need,'said Meimei to herself,
[06:40.38]a hat that turns into an umbrella!'
[06:45.03]Now you can find her'Umbrellahat' in many stores.
[06:50.80]At the hospital the doctors often ask Meimei for ideas.
[06:57.36]Recently,Dr Zhang,who works with people with broken¹⁶ bones,
[07:04.12]asked her for a cheap,easy way to stop broken bones from moving.
[07:10.89]Meimei had just come back from a trip to Guilin.
[07:16.35]She had ridden a bicycle around the city and mended one of its tyres¹⁷.
[07:23.32]'Could I use air to hold the bones together?'she asked herself.
[07:29.25]She made a special kind of bandage,put it round her leg and filled it with air.
[07:36.99]It was very strongand it held the bones very well.
[07:42.76]She called her new invention 'Airhold'.

[08:29.07]Lesson 8
[08:34.35]Read about a boy who loved mathematics and answer the questions.
[08:40.80]If you came from a poor family and couldn't go to a good school,
[08:46.37]could one book change your life?
[08:50.21]It did for Srinivasa Ramanujan,a bright young Indian boy.
[08:56.87]When he was 15 years old,he found a book about mathematics.
[09:03.11]It wasn't an ordinary mathematics book.
[09:07.27]It was a special book with 6,000 very difficult problems.
[09:13.43]While Srinivasa's friends played football on the dirt road in front of his house,
[09:19.99]he worked out the answers to these problems.
[09:24.35]He answered them all by himself  without any help from anyone else.
[09:30.91]Then he thought of new problems and answered them,too.
[09:35.77]Soon,he was better at mathematics than all of his teachers.
[09:41.64]A year later,Srinivasa was invited to study at university,
[09:48.12]even though he was really too young.
[09:52.25]However,he failed most of his exams.
[09:57.39]Why?
[09:59.85]Because he was only interested in mathematics
[10:04.53]and didn't care enough about his other subjects.
[10:09.07]He had to leave university but he kept thinking²² about mathematics.
[10:15.45]He wrote about his ideas and sent his work to magazines.
[10:21.19]A British mathematician read his work and started writing letters to him
[10:27.85]Later he invited Srinivasa to go to England to study and work.
[10:34.83]In England,people didn't care whether Srinivasa was good at other subjects or not
[10:41.49]By the time he was 30,Srinivasa Ramanujan,
[10:47.13]a poor boy who preferred mathematics to playing football,
[10:52.49]had became one of the world's most famous mathematicians²³.
[10:57.84]2.Listen to a talk about what different people do best and fill in the table.
[11:07.90]Are you good at learning some things by yourself,but not others?
[11:27.36]Do you find it easy to understand art,for example,but not maths?
[11:36.01]If you do,don't be surprised.
[11:42.17]Everyone's mind is different
[11:46.61]and most people are better at some things than others.
[11:51.97]Hardly anyone is good at everything.
[11:57.32]Many famous people were good at one thing but poor at others.
[12:05.68]Mozart was good at music but not very good at maths he never had enough money
[12:15.22]Einstein was good at maths and writing.

　　[12:21.38]He also played the violin but most people say that he wasn't very good at that.
[12:28.51]Max Berlitz's parents and grandparents were maths teachers
[12:34.44]but he was poor at maths.
[12:38.00]He was good at languages.He started a school that taught languages.
[12:45.47]Now many books and thousands of schools use his ideas.
[12:51.32]George Schaller has worked all over the world studying animals.
[12:57.09]In China,he studied pandas.
[13:01.04]He said that when he was a boy,
[13:04.80]he always liked being²⁴ outside looking at plants and animals.
[13:10.65]Now this is his job.
[13:13.89]When Tiger Woods was a baby,his father used to play golf²⁵ in front of him.
[13:20.65]His father did everything he could to make his son like golf.
[13:26.30]Now his son is the best golf player in the world.
