[原版教材]21st Century Reading: Creative Thinking and Reading with TED Talks

21st Century Reading: Creative Thinking and Reading with TED Talks
上次无意间搜到配套视频、音频、Answer Key，下载后发现资源还挺不错的，遗憾的是没有主教材，就像吃火锅时，配菜都上齐了，锅底却还没上桌一样，有些无从下手的感觉。又搜索了一番，找到一个有关的帖子，不过那位网友好像并没有发布成功。
后来跑到National Geographic Learning的官网去查找，惊喜地发现这里配套视频、音频都可以下载，还意外地找到了一部分教材，有 21st Century Reading 1-4 的Scope and Sequence（相当于目录和大纲），还有Book 1的Unit 2，Book 2的Unit 10，Book3的Unit 1，Book4的Unit 7，搭配上相对应的音频和视频，各位可以一睹为快，品尝一下小型火锅。
下面是官网上对这套教材的介绍：
