真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 1 Unit 1 Cultural relics Section Ⅰ Warming up & Reading—Prereading Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Dear students， Most of us get some exercise walking or riding our bikes to school，but that just isn’t enough.Why not get into shape by playing the most popular sport in the world—soccer? Two weeks ago，Ms Goldstein，the physical education teacher，posted a notice about an exciting new soccer club (for Grades 3－5)．To join，all you have to do is sign your name and be at school for the fun of it on Saturday mornings.You’ll make new friends and share information about famous teams and players. Ms Goldstein will teach，so you’ll learn basic skills and new techniques (技 巧) to improve your game.That’s good news because soccer is a game you can love three seasons a year.The only time you can’t play is when there is snow. However，it is hard to believe that only nineteen people signed up for the new club.Maybe kids don’t want to give up their Saturday mornings.But if you think about how we spend Saturday mornings now，soccer looks good.Doing housework and watching TV are not as much fun as playing soccer with friends.If you didn’t sign up because you’ve never played soccer before，don’t worry.Beginners are welcome and Ms Goldstein will give youmore help. Just act now！The equipment is cheap.All you have to bring is your feet. The Students’ Union 语篇解读 本文是应用文。作者希望孩子们积极加入学校的足球俱乐部。 1．We can learn from the text that the club________.
