Read this part of the poem written by British poet Rudyard Kipling. Notice the liking sounds. Then mark the linking sounds after the model.
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

【课后作业参考答案】
1. 听力原文
William: Excuse me, do you speak English? I’m looking for the Confucius Temple, but I’m not
2
good at maps—they’re my Achilles’ heel!
Xiao Kong: Oh, hello, yes. Come with me—I’m going to the temple right now. By the way, what does “Achilles’ heel” mean?
William: Oh, it means that something is my weakness—I’m really bad with maps! So do you know much about Confucius? He’s one of my favourite philosophers. He was such a wise man. Xiao Kong: Oh, yes. I was born here. In fact, I believe I am a descendant of Confucius himself. William: No way, you’re pulling my leg, right? So how do you know you’re related to Confucius? Didn’t he live over 2,500 years ago?
Xiao Kong: Yes, but his family tree is well recorded. He has over three million descendants. Sorry again, what does “pulling my leg” mean?
William: Oh, sorry, it means to joke with someone. Anyway, so you’re actually going to the temple to pay respects to your relative?
Xiao Kong: Well, yes. But I’m also meeting my study group there. We are doing a research project on Confucius’ ideas on education. You know, Confucius was a great educator, and he had many great ideas about education. For example, he talked about the relationship between learning and reflecting. He believed that learning without reflecting leads to confusion … Oh, look, the temple is just over there.
William: Oh, great! What’s that big building over there?
Xiao Kong: Oh, that’s the famous Dacheng Hall. You know, it’s so well-respected in Qufu that no other building in the city can be taller than it.
William: Wow, now that’s respect. That’s a little bit like my hometown—Stratford-upon-Avon. Xiao Kong: Wait, you mean where Shakespeare was from? What a coincidence—Confucius and Shakespeare, two of the greatest minds in history! I really want to visit the UK—I’m really interested in British history and culture.
William: Oh, that’s great! So later we can go for a cup of tea and have a chat about it. And it would be great if you could take me somewhere to get my watch fixed.
Xiao Kong: OK, no problem! So come and meet my study group—we can tell you all about the temple. And how long are you staying in Qufu? I can show you the Cemetery of Confucius and the Kong Family Mansion as well …
William: Really? That’s so kind! I need all the help I can get—I’m like a fish out of water!
2. An introduction of a historic site
I visited the Mogao Caves with my family recently. They are famous for their amazing paintings and statues. They were constructed over many dynasties and are an important record of tradition and belief in China during that time.
