Glad to meet you at the e-school. Let me introduce myself a little bit. I’m Xu Zhuo, a Senior teacher of English with High School Attached to Northeast Normal University. I’m teaching Senior Three this year and this is my third time to be a teacher of Grade Three. I fell honored tot have the chance to help the third graders with their college entrance examinations. What makes me feel more honored is I was chosen to be the Senior Three English teacher at e-school this year. I’m committed to doing my best, and hopefully you will enjoy my on-line teaching.

Revision Part firstly focuses on the main reading passage in perspective of comprehension, key language points and exercises. Then it deals with the Grammatical Item of the unit and exercises related. Plus, NMET Link is provided to illustrate what to acquire in a more serious way.

Unit 1 That must be a record!

I. Background Information
The Guinness Book of World Records
In 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, then the managing director of the Guinness Brewery, went on a shooting party and became involved in an argument. Which was the fastest game bird in Europe? The golden plover or the grouse? He realized then that a book supplying the answers to this sort of question might prove popular. He was right!
Sir Hugh's idea became reality when Norris and Ross McWhirter, who had been running a fact-finding agency in London, were commissioned to compile what became The Guinness Book of Records. The first edition was bound on August 27, 1955, and went to the top of the British bestseller lists by Christmas that year.
Since then, Guinness World Records has become a household name and the global leader in world records. No other enterprise collects, confirms, accredits and presents world record data with the same investment in comprehensiveness and authenticity.
The book has gone on to become a record breaker in its own right. With sales of more than 94 million copies in 100 different countries and 37 languages, Guinness World Records is the world's best ever selling copyright book!

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Global Authority on World Records!
Since 1955 Guinness World Records has been documenting the fastest and slowest,
biggest and smallest, heaviest and lightest–-and most amazing–-of everything! And this special 2005 edition features more astonishing, inspiring, and unusual achievements than ever–-spanning the wonders of the natural, material, and modern worlds, from amazing anatomy and epic journeys to entertainment, the Internet, and beyond. For example,
●A Canadian man holds the Guinness World Record for the highest speed reached on a human-powered vehicle: 81 mph on his recumbent bike.
●The most expensive burger can be ordered in New York City for a Guinness World Record price of $59.00!
The record for the tallest man ever remains held by Robert Pershing Wadlow of the United States, who stood 8 ft. 11.1 in.
. . . and there’s so much more, including Guinness World Records’ awesome trademark photos! This special edition also offers the fascinating stories behind some of the most famous records, plus exclusive interviews with a selection of record breakers themselves.
