Module 6 Old and New Period 1 Introduction Reading and Vocabulary Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A Manchester is the “capital” of the northwest of England. Situated on the east bank of the River Irwell, it is a lively busy city with a large student population. Although it was once seen as only a dull industrial place, in recent years Manchester has become the“in”place. It is well-known for its clubs, its fashion and its music, not to mention its world-famous football team, Manchester United. There is plenty to see in Manchester and something to suit all taste. For example, you have a taste of the Orient in Chinatown, home to Manchester’s large Chinese population. Another place to visit is the historical Eastlefield area, which contains the first urban heritage park in Britain. Here you can walk around the museums and experience the atmosphere of the 19th century Manchester. Football fans need not feel left out; they can always make a trip to the Old Trafford Manchester United Museum which also contains a coffee shop and a souvenir shop. It’s easy to find your way around the city center and you’re never too far away from a bus, which will take you wherever you want to go. However, many people prefer walking in a city where there’s so much to see, and much of it is off the main travel lines. If you get tired with all that walking, you can refresh yourself at one of the many café bars in the city. There’s a wide variety of homely and old-fashioned ones. Whatever you do, you won’t have a dull moment in the place which was awarded the title of “most interesting city in Europe. ”Despite its unpopular industrial image in the past, Manchester is becoming more and more popular as a tourist destination nowadays. 【语篇概述】文章主要介绍了曼彻斯特这个城市的历史与现状。以前那个沉闷的工业城市, 如今已经大不一样了, 它已经成为了一个集俱乐部、时装、音乐、足球等为一体的时尚都市。 1.
