北师大版英语九年级全册 Unit 8 Discoveries. Lesson 23 Discovery of the Year.同步练习
Welcome to Youth Radio, your radio. Here we're proud to introduce three Amazing Kids.
Gina, who is thirteen years old, got first prize in the "Young Cook of the Year" competition and she wants to write a recipe book for kids. "I want it to be fun to read and easy enough for children tousle," she says. Gina learned by watching her father, who's also good at cooking, in the kitchen. She wants to encourage other children to cook because "everyone needs to eat so it's a skill that will always be useful!" Seventeen-year-old Brian used to love running until he was hurt in a serious accident three years ago. He lost part of one leg and didn't even expect to walk again Now he's an athlete who has recently taken part in a long race. "After my accident I wanted to give up," he says. "But now I'm happy to be alive and able to continue running." Helen has always been good at science, but she thought it was too difficult to become an inventor.
Then she heard about an accident that had happened when a car hit a train in her town. "That gave me an idea," says the clever sixteen-year-old. It took her over a year to invent a small special machine that tells car drivers when a train is coming. One company is already interested in selling it, so it maybe in the shops soon!
Do you know a child like them? Please e-mail us at amazing kids@ maid. com and tell us why her she should be on our radio. Thank you.

Swimming is a very popular game in the world. Many people like swimming in summer, and in the other three seasons too. They think water makes them feel cool and swimming makes them keep healthy. But sometimes it's also not safe if you don't know how to keep safe when swimming.
If you swim in a wrong place, it may not be safe. A lot of people die (死) when they are enjoying themselves in the water, and most of them are students. Now some people are not careful in swimming. They often think they can swim very well, so nothing will happen to them in water.
If you go swimming in summer, remembering the following rules will be very useful. Don't get into water when you are by yourself. If there is a “No swimming” sign, don't get into water. If you remember these, swimming will be safe and enjoyable.
