Unit 1 课文
课文原文
Tony：Dad，can I borrow your camera?
Dad：Why?
Tony：I'd like to take some photos on the school visit to the museum next week. They'll be put up on the school website. And they can be seen on the Internet by other classes, even people living in other countries.
Dad：Sounds great！When I was at school, we waited for weeks to hear from our pen friends abroad. But today, we can send and receive photos and mails on the Internet, and it's really fast.
Tony：Yes, the Internet and the computer have changed our lives. We even use online textbooks in our class. I wonder...Will computers be used more than books in the future?
Dad：Perhaps. In the past，we mainly got information from paper books. Some were huge ones with thousands of pages. Today，with the invention of the computer and electronic technology, it's easy to get information on the Internet .The Internet is more powerful than books.
Tony：Anyway，about the camera...?
Dad：Oh，yes. Here it is. I haven't used it since your mum's birthday. And the memory card may be full.
Tony：OK. That can be fixed .I've got an empty memory card. Where are the instructions?
Dad：In the camera bag. It's a gift from your mum for my birthday, so you must promise that you'll take good care of it. If you have to lend it to anyone, tell them to use it properly.
Tony：Promise!

托尼:爸爸，我可以借一下您的照相机吗?爸爸:做什么用呢?托尼:我想在下周学校组织参观内物馆时拍些照片。这些照片将发布在学校的网站上。其他班的同学、甚至生活在国外的人们，都可以看到这些照片。
爸爸:听起来很好啊!我上学的时候，我们要等上好几周才能收到国外笔友的来信。但是现在可以在网上收发照片和信件，而且速度非常快。托尼:是的，互联网和电脑已经改变了我们的生活。我们在课堂上甚至都可以使用电子书。我在想，未来是否电脑会比书籍使用得更多?爸爸:有可能。过去，我们主要从纸质书中获取信息。有些书甚至有几千页厚。现在，伴随着电脑和电子科技的发明，我们从网络上: 获取信息变得非常容易。互联网比图书要强大得多。托尼:但是，关于照相.....?爸爸:哦，可以。给你。自从你妈妈的生日之后，我就没用过，存储卡有可能都满了。
托尼:好的。这可以解决。我有一个空的存储卡。说明书在哪里?爸爸:在相机包里。因为它是你妈妈送给我的生日礼物，所以你必须保证要保管好它。如果一定要借给其他人的话，你要告诉他们如何正确使用它。托尼:我保证!
Unit 2 课文
课文原文
Will books be replaced by the Internet?
1．Every morning，my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day，I open my books in class and start my lessons.
Every evening，my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night，I look at the photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?
2． Paper was first created about 2，000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make books. In those days，books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result ， there were not many books，and they were expensive. So，few people had the chance to learn to read.
3． Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply. A trade in books resulted，and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spread faster than ever before. In a way, we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.
4. Although the Internet is still young，it is growing very fast, and may become more powerful than printing. A much larger amount of information can be stored in more varied forms on the Internet than in books. Someone with an Internet
connection can find information much more easily than they can find it in printed forms. And the machines we use to read it are now small and light，often smaller and lighter than a single book.
5．Computers and the Internet are used in classrooms now，and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future? Will books be replaced by the Internet? Let's wait and see.
课文翻译
书将会被网络代替吗?
每天早晨，我爸爸都会在去上班的路上买报纸。每天，我在课堂上打开书本，开始上课。每天晚上，我妈妈都在家翻阅杂志。每晚睡觉前，我都会看卧室墙上贴着的大卫.贝克汉姆和姚明的照片。我们能够想象没有纸张或印刷的生活吗? 造纸术大约2,000年前发明于中国。造纸术发明之后，人们开始在纸张上写字，制作成书。在那个年代，书籍是靠手工制作的，一次只能制作一本。 这样一来，书籍数量不多，价格又贵。所以，很少人有机会读书。 隋唐时期，中国人发明了印刷术。随后，印刷术不断发展，书的印制快了许多，也便宜了许多。图书贸易开始发展，更多的人开始读书。知识和思想比以往任何时候传播得都快。在某种程度上，我们可以将造纸术和印刷术的发明与20世纪互联网的引入相媲美。 尽管互联网还很年轻，但是它的发展非常迅速，并且将来或许会比印刷术更加强大。大量的信息可以以各种形式存储在互联网上，比书籍的存储量要大得多。人们通过网络获取信息要比通过印刷品容易得多。如今我们用来获得信息的机器变得越来越小巧、轻便，通常比一本书还要轻巧。 现在电脑和互联网已经被用在课堂上了，并且我们已经可以在网上阅读报纸和杂志了。那么传统印刷业未来的方向在哪里呢?书将会被网络代替吗?让我们拭目以待。

My dream invention
As a student, I sometimes feel tired when doing homework. So I dream of having an MP4pen.
It looks almost the same as the pen we use every day. But it has four buttons “fast forward”， “rewind”， “play” and “record” on it. If I feel tired when I am doing my homework, I can listen to some music. More importantly, when I can't work out a problem, the pen is able to help me solve it. This is my dream invention. I hope I can have it soon.
