Then he sat down to think, "I must do something about the noise," he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. "Ah, I'll put some cotton in my ears. Then I won't be able to hear the noise." The next day he went to the door of his neighbour, and took hold of the bell. This time he pulled even harder. The bell rang loudly, but the thief did not hear anything. With another hard pull he got the bell out. Just then the neighbour came running out. 然后他坐下来想,“我必须做一些关于噪音事情,”他说。他想了又想。最后他想出了一个主意。”啊,我会把一些棉花塞在我的耳朵。我不能听到的噪音。”第二天他去他邻居家的门,抓住铃。这一次他将更加用力。铃声响了起来,但小偷什么也没有听到。再次用力一拉,他得到了铃。就在这时,邻居跑过来。
"Steal my bell? I'll teach you a lesson," the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose. “偷我的门铃?我会给你一个教训,“愤怒的男人叫喊着。他击中了小偷的鼻子。

He was known as the hero of a hundred adventures. 很久以前,有一位伟大的希腊英雄,叫赫克斯。他比你所见过的人都高,更强。他肩上扛着一个棒,他手里拿着一张弓。他被誉为百年难得一遇的英雄。

Atlas answered, "My head and arms and shoulders all ache. Could you hold up the sky while I fetch the golden apples for you?" 阿特拉斯答道,“我的头和手臂和肩膀都痛。你能撑起一片天空而我把金苹果给你吗?”
Hercules climbed the mountain and shouldered the sky. Soon the sky grew very heavy. When finally Atlas came back with three golden apples, he said, "Well, you are going to carry the mountain for ever. I'm going to see the king with the apples." Hercules knew that he couldn't fight him because of the sky on his back, So he shouted: 赫克斯上山并承担了天空。不久天空变的很重。当最终阿特拉斯带了三个金苹果回来,他说,“好吧,你要永远背着山。我带苹果要去见国王。” 赫克斯知道他不能打他,因为天空在他的背上,于是他喊道:
"Just one minute's help. My shoulders are hurting, Hold the sky for a minute while I make a cushion (垫子) for my shoulders." “只是一分钟的帮助。我的肩膀受伤,拿住天空一分钟,而我要在我的肩膀做一个垫子。”

People who cannot tell all colors apart are said to be color blind. Most color-blind people can see yellow and blues, but confuse reds with greens. It is very rare for a person to be blind to all colors, but they may see everything in shades of black, white, and gray.不能辨别所有的颜色的人被称为色盲。大多数色盲的人可以看到黄色和蓝色,但混淆了红军与绿色。对所有颜色都色盲的人是非常罕见的,但他们在黑色,白色,灰色的阴影下可以看到一切。

They don’t know that the colors they are seeing and naming are not the actual colors that people with normal vision can see. This can be particularly dangerous when a color-blind person confuses the red and green of a traffic light. 值得注意的是,许多色盲的人甚至不知道他们是色盲。他们不知道,他们所看到的和命名的颜色的颜色,不是正常的人可以看到的颜色。这可是特别危险的时候,当色盲的人混淆了红色和绿色的交通灯。

Passage 12
About 130 years ago. Thomas Edison of the US invented the light bulb. Edison's bulb has turned night into day ever since. But today, many want to turn the light off.
大约130年前。美国托马斯爱迪生发明了电灯。自从那以后爱迪生的灯泡让晚上变成白天。但今天,许多想把灯关掉。
?? The European Union (欧盟) recently decided that by 2009,people should stop using the Edison-style light bulb. Instead, they should use compact fluorescent lamps
欧洲联盟(欧盟)最近决定,到2009年人民应该停止使用爱迪生式的灯泡。相反,他们应该使用的紧凑型荧光灯
"CFLs save energy and last longer. They can save money in the long run," said a British official. CFLs use 67 percent (67%) less electricity than the older bulbs. They last up to 10 times longer. Scentists say that if everyone used CFLs, electricity use would be cut by 18 percent. There would also be much smaller amounts of greenhouse gases given off.
“紧凑型荧光灯节能,使用时间更长。从长远看它们可以节省金钱,”一位英国官员说。荧光灯在用电方面比旧灯泡少67%。它们有长达10倍的寿命。科学家说,如果每个人都使用紧凑型荧光灯,电的使用将减少18%。也会有许多较小规模的温室气体散发。
?? But it's difficult to make people change their lighting habits. First the CFLs are more expensive. They cost eight times the price of the older bulbs. Many people don't like the CFL bulb. They find it too bright. You cannot change the light of a CFL,either.

Poll reveals TV news too negative
A recent Time CNN poll in the USA has discovered that 75% of people agreed that the
news media is "sensationalist", 63%found it "too negative" and 73%said they are "skeptical
about the accuracy" of the news they are receiving.
最近一段时间/美国有线电视新闻网的民意调查在美国已经发现,关于他们收到的新闻。75%的人认为新闻媒体是“煽情”,63%发现太消极”和73%说他们是“持怀疑态度关于精度” 。
Local news programmes in the USA are so dominated by stories of violence and crime
that other topics like government, education and the environment are left with little airtime.
Network broadcaster John Walters claimed, "This lack of information has resulted in
negative feelings towards the media."
在美国当地新闻节目是被暴力和犯罪的故事所占据。像政府,教育和环境这样的话题只留下一点时间。网络广播节目主持人,沃尔特斯声称,“这种缺乏信息系统导致针对媒体的负面情绪”。
Crime reports, which often serve as lead stories, make up an average of 30. 2% of news
time on local TV news programmes in the USA. Media researcher Bob Smith reported,
"53% of crime reports are about murder, but it is one of the least frequently committed
crimes. ' Another media study revealed that 42%of local TV news broadcasts are stories
about crime, disaster and war.
犯罪的报告,这往往成为领导的故事,组成一个平均%新闻在当地电视新闻节目中,在美国媒体研究员鲍博·史密斯报告说,“53%的犯罪报告是关于谋杀的,但这是最常犯罪之一。”另一个媒体研究显示:42%当地电视新闻广播的故事关于犯罪,灾难和战争。
One possible reason for this is that local television news is ratings driven. Some market
research suggests that viewers like to see stories of crime and violence, which increases the
ratings of newscasts. Higher ratings mean higher advertising revenues. Mike Adams, a television executive, explained, "The increase in crime reports is because, on average, almost half the money a local station makes comes from news."
一个可能的原因是,受当地电视新闻收视率驱动。一些市场研究表明,观众喜欢看犯罪和暴力的故事,这增加了新闻的收视率。较高的收视率意味着较高的广告收入。迈克.亚当斯,一个电视执行,解释,“犯罪报道的增加是因为,平均几乎一半的钱,来自当地电视台新闻。
Many experts believe a steady diet of violence-oriented news broadcasts has serious
effects. A spokesman for the National Television Violence Committee stated, "There are
three main risks associated with viewing media violence. People learn aggressive behaviors.
They become desensitized to real-world violence. These lead to an increased fear of being a
victim of violence, resulting in mistrust of others."
许多专家认为稳定的严重暴力新闻广播有严重负面影响。全国电视暴力委员会发言人讲到,“观看媒体暴力有三个主要风险。人们学习侵略行为。他们对现实世界有暴力脱敏。这些导致增加暴力的受害者害怕程度,造成不信任别人。”

Passage 1
The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14,1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)
法国大革命于1789年爆发。当时法国正处在一片混乱中,政府腐败,人民生活凄惨。路易十六世企图控制议会并增加赋税,但最后失败了。他命令军队进入凡尔赛。人民都认为他企图用武力镇压革命。1789年7月14日,人民群众爆发了,攻占了关押政治犯的巴士底狱。从那天以后,7月14日就被定为法国的国庆日。1792年,路易十六企图逃离法国,并从奥地利和普鲁士获得支持,但他被捕了。1792年王室被废除,路易十六被处以死刑。几个月后,他的妻子,玛丽也被处以死刑。法国大革命令欧洲其它国家的国王感到害怕。奥地利和普鲁士的军队进入了法国。法国人民组织起了共和军来保卫祖国,革命陷入了一个艰苦阶段。成千上万的人牺牲了。最后,权力落入了拿破仑﹒波拿巴手中。

Passage 2
A foreigner’s first impression of the . is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.
一个外国人对于美国的第一印象很有可能是每个人都在压力下匆匆忙忙。城市里的人总是表现得匆匆忙忙不知疲倦的,为了尽快做完一件事情,他们会在店里拼命引起店员的注意或者用胳膊肘推搡别人。白天匆忙就餐也是这个国家生活节奏的一个部分。
Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.
工作时间被认为是很珍贵的。在一些公共饮食场所,其他人会等在你旁边等你吃完,这样大家都可以得到服务,并赶在规定的时间内回去工作。每个人都会尽快给下一个人腾出地方。如果你不这样,侍者会催促你的。
You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.
你会发现司机也都很匆忙,人们从你身边匆匆走过。你会错过一些微笑,简短的交谈和一些与陌生人的小礼节。不要在意,这是因为他们非常珍惜时间,而且他们认为一旦太注重这些社交礼节就是浪费时间。
The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some returnbe this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.
对时间的观念还会影响到我们对耐心的理解。在美国价值体系中,耐心并不是首要考虑的。我们中的很多人被称为“脾气火爆”。如果我们觉得时间在毫无意义的溜走,既没有娱乐价值,工作价值,也不在休息,那就会开始不停地徘徊。那些来自时间观念不同的国家的人发现他们在商业和日常生活中最困难的就是对时间节奏的适应。
Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. (348 words)
许多刚到美国来的人都会想念他们在商业会谈中一些开场礼节。举个例子,他们会想念欢迎你到来而泡的一杯茶或咖啡这样的社交礼仪,这在他们国家是常规礼仪。他们会想念在咖啡屋悠闲的会谈。而通常,美国人不会与来访者在这么悠闲的环境中进行一些冗长的小会谈。对于同事,我们总是看他过去的表现而不是与他的社交礼仪。因为我们一般都是更注重专业性的,而不是社交性的,因此我们总是很快进入正题。
11. Which of the following statements is wrong? __________ 以下哪项陈述是错误的?
A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.
B. Americans attach less importance to patience.
C. Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing.
D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues. 美国人对他们的同事不礼貌。
12. In the fourth paragraph, “a high priority” means __________.第四段中的“a high priority”是什么意思?
A. a less important thing B. a first concern 要首要考虑的。
C. a good business D. an attractive gift
13. Americans evaluate a business colleague __________.美国人评价他们的同事是根据__________。
A. through social courtesy B. through prolonged business talks
C. by establishing business relations D. by learning about their past performance他们过去的表现。

B. how busy Americans are every day
C. how Americans do business with foreigners

Passage 3
Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line at the airport in Santo Domingo. She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and fiends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales(称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage.
Maria,十六岁,她正在圣多明各(多米尼加首都)的机场排队等候。她正要离开自己的祖国去美国和她的姐姐团聚。她的英语讲得很好。虽然她要出国了觉得很高兴,但此时要离开她的家人和朋友也很伤心。正在她想这些的时候,她突然听到机场的工作人员正在叫她把行李放到称上。Maria拉了又拉,包太重,她根本抬不起来。她后面的男人很不耐烦了。他也是等着托运行李的。
“What’s wrong with this girl?” He said, “Why doesn’t she hurry up?” He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.
“这女孩怎么了?”他说道,“她为什么不快点?”他走到前面,把包放在台上,希望能先登记。他急着想要得到一个好的座位。
Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can’t you give me a hand with my luggage?”
Maria很生气,但她很有礼貌。她用最优美的英语说,“你为什么如此伤感?飞机上的每个人都有座位。如果你真的很急,为什么不能帮我搬一下行李?”
The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up his luggage and stepped back. Everyone was looking at him with disapproval. (224 words)

Passage 4
Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.
英国和法国被英吉利海峡阻隔,游泳穿越该海峡只要不到20分钟的时间。但这两个国家的文化有时相差十万八千里。
Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary(周年纪念)of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.
上星期四,英国和法国庆祝了《友好协议》签订100周年的纪念活动。该协议标志着两个国家在经历了几个世纪的战争和爱恨交织的关系后的新篇章。
But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug(拥抱), Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.
但他们的关系在上个世纪也经历了几番起落。仅去年,对伊拉克战争问题进行了激烈的争论-英国首相布莱尔支持而法国总统希拉克反对。国际会议中,这种别扭在布莱尔和希拉克的身体语言中表现得很明显。当法国领导人频频与德国总理格哈特·施罗德拥抱时,布莱尔只得到了握手。然而,有些政治专家说正是伊拉克战争促进了两国的关系。
The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys(调查)show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.
这种历来的分离也许是好的,因为这两个国家对世界的看法完全不同。但是这并没有阻隔1200万的英国人每年到法国度假。而法国仅有300万的人民去英国度假。调查显示大多数法国人对德国人比对英国人亲切。并且在英国进行的调查显示仅有1/3的英国人信任法国人。也许这种坏的感觉是因为英国人不喜欢法国跟德国的亲密关系,或者因为法国对英国和美国的亲密关系感到不悦。
Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel. (320 words)
不论答案是什么,双方能在一起庆祝这种“不确定的友好关系”100周年,至少证明他们会相互开玩笑了。其中一条就是:英国与法国的关系的最好见证是什么?是英吉利海峡。

Passage 6
Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.
纸是人类发明的最重要的产品之一。没有一些便宜而又实用的材料来写的话,书面语也不可能广泛传播。纸的发明意味着更多的人可以接受教育,因为更多的书可以印出来并分发出去。纸和印刷一起为知识的交流提供了极其重要的途径。
How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1990 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.
我们每年用多少纸呢?也许你无法很快回答出这个问题。在1900年,全世界的用纸量是每年人均一公斤左右。现在有些国家的用量达到每年人均50公斤。像美国,英国和瑞典这样的国家的用量远超其他各国。
Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of year. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment. (208words)
像许多其他我们用的东西一样,纸最早发明于中国。在埃及和西方,十五世纪前纸并没有广泛使用。埃及人写字写在一种水生植物做成的材料上。欧洲人用羊皮纸用了好几百年。羊皮纸很牢固,它是用某些幼年动物的皮做成的。从羊皮纸上保存的记录中我们了解到关于欧洲历史的最重要的事情。

Passage7
Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfolded the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchief, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn’t serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects.
已经制定了法律来规定美国国旗的使用,并确保对国旗应有的尊敬。关于国旗的使用也早已有了惯例。全军就国旗的展开方法有明确的规定,这与常规有点不同。国旗的升降应由手工完成。国旗未展开时不能升起。应先使它展开,然后快速把它升至旗杆顶部。缓慢、庄严地降下。旗上不可以放东西。不要把国旗镶嵌在衣服或运动装上,也不要把国旗印在垫子、手帕、纸巾或盒子上。联邦法律规定如果某个商标含有美国国旗或国徽,这个商标就不能被注册。当国旗被用来为雕像或纪念碑揭幕时,不可以盖在被揭幕物上。如果国旗被用在这种场合,则不能让它掉到地上而应悬在空中作为这个仪式的象征。特别注意不要玷污国旗,不允许触到地面或擦着物体。

Passage 8
It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become “in”. Between the hours of 11 a. m. and 4:30 p. m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.
据报道,在美国大学里,被称为肥皂剧的日间系列剧突然“火”了起来。上午11点至下午4:30,大学电视观看室里挤满了肥皂剧迷,他们急着想看自己所崇拜的偶像的下一集生活剧。
Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they’re a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960’s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.
其实,肥皂剧不仅仅是大学生最喜爱的节目,也是年轻人最喜爱的。放学后,中学生都挤在电视机前观看节目。有一个年轻的职业妇女坦诚说起曾经拒绝了一份薪水不错的工作而不愿放弃观看最喜爱的系列剧。20世纪60年代年轻人很少看肥皂剧。那时的情况与现在很不相同。那是很严肃的时期,人们所谈的都是关于很重要的社会大事。
Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.
现在,严肃已被娱乐取代。年轻人想寻找快乐。如果他们想看表现生活烦恼的肥皂剧就会显得很奇怪。但肥皂剧是令人快乐的。年轻人可以模仿肥皂剧里的人物,这些人物像大学生观众一样,在寻找快乐的爱情,也许还没找到。肥皂剧给年轻人一个贴近人们的机会但对于他们的问题却不必承担责任。
11. What is soap opera? 什么是肥皂剧?
A. Plays based on science fiction stories.
B. Plays based on non-fiction stories.
C. The daytime serial dramas on TV. 白天的电视系列剧。
D. Popular documentary films on TV.
12. What can be the best title of the passage? 这篇文章的最佳题目是什么?
A. College student viewers. B. Favorite TV serials.
C. Soap opera fans. 肥皂剧迷 D. College-age viewers.
13. Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become “in” among American young people?
根据这篇文章,哪一项不是肥皂剧突然火起来的原因?
A. Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.
B. Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.
C. Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.
D. Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.
因为年轻人得承担问题的责任。
14. What can we learn from the passage? 这篇文章让我们知道了什么?
A. College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.
B. Young people of sixties like soap operas more than people today.
C. Young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
很多在伦敦工作的人喜欢住在伦敦郊外,然后每天乘火车、汽车和公交车去上班或上学。这也就意味着他们不得不早出晚归。
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.
住在伦敦郊外的一个好处就是房子便宜。在伦敦即使是没有花园的小公寓也需要一笔不菲的租金,用同样的钱,你可以在郊区买一个带花园的小房子了。
Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.
然后,他在乡村就可以远离喧嚣和忙碌的工作生活。即使他不得不起得更早,花更多的时间乘火车或公交车,但他晚上可以睡得更好。在周末和夏季的夜晚,他可以享受乡村清新干净的空气。要是他喜欢花园,在花园里干一些想挖土、种植、浇水等许多园艺的活,那么当鲜花和蔬菜生长起来的时候,他就与其他分享大自然秘密的人们一样得到奖赏。
Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.
然而有些人对乡村并不感兴趣。对他们来说,幸福就在市区里,那里有电影院、剧院、漂亮的商店、繁忙的街道、舞厅和饭店。如果不得不住在伦敦郊外的话,这些人就觉得生活没意义了。(对于那些热爱都市生活的人来说)他们所需要的乡村生活,就是偶尔去公园散步,每个夏天去海边过上两个星期,其他跟乡村有关的东西,让那些每天晚上都急于离开伦敦的人们(住在郊外的人们)去享受吧。

Passage 10
By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others-they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.
就定义而言,英雄之所以与众不同是因为他们有非凡的勇气、取得了卓着的成就、常常为他人的利益而做出牺牲——他们是我们评价别人的标准。他们是大家公认的对我们国家意识的形成和我们国家的发展,还有对他们的崇拜者的一生起了重大作用的人。可是,有人说,我们的时代是很难出现真正英雄的时代,英雄主义这一概念本身我们就难以理解——它已经成为历史。有些人坚持说,由于冷战的结束和美国对外的和睦,我们的时代本质上不是一个英勇豪壮的时代。更进一步地说,总体犯罪率正在降低,经济的发展与增长已经缓解了贫困,医疗科学也在不断的进步。
Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity(明星), who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death – such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.
给文化偶像下定义就更难了,但是我们看到他们就认识了他们。他们超越了名流,成为传奇式人物,甚至在某种程度上已是神话式的人物。但究竟是哪些因素使有些人成为偶像,另一些人仅成了名流呢?这就太难说了。部分原因是他们的生平带有传奇故事的色彩。比如说,年轻貌美的戴安娜·史宾塞,19岁时嫁给了王子,放弃了婚姻与王权,却在找到真爱的那一刻死去了。漂亮的长相当然有用,另外,在媒体的炒作下某种难以描述的、特殊的个人魅力也起作用。然而悲剧性地过早离开这个世界,却是造成偶像最重要的因素——例如:小马丁·路德·金、约翰·F·肯尼迪和戴安娜王妃。

Passage 11
Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is the choice — from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle — is all part of fun.
在英国,可住宿的地方就如可参观的地方那么多。不论你的预算是多少,任何一种选择都是快乐的一部分――从谷仓到小旅馆,从小农舍到大城堡。
Hostels 旅社
Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to use them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse(临时住房)while others are remarkably comfortable — almost like bargain hotels.
廉价、超值的旅社定位在形形色色的趣味相投的重精神超过物质的这类游客群体,而且旅社没有规定游客必须是年轻人或者是单身汉。英国对自助旅行者和背包旅行者也十分欢迎。设施和价格也各不相同,特别是在乡村,有些旅社只比临时住房好一点点,而有些特别舒适-----就像物美价廉的旅馆一样。
Youth Hotels 青年旅馆
Founded many years ago to “help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside”, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.
(这种旅社的形式)很多年前就形成了,为了“帮助所有的,特别是资金有限的年轻人,深入了解、喜爱、关心农村。”青年旅行社组织在21世纪依然盛行。230家的旅社网络是探索英国小镇和农村的最佳门户。
B&Bs 床位和早餐
The B&Bs (bed and breakfasts) is a great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.
床位与早餐是英国的伟大创举。实际上就是某家的住户为你提供一个房间,小的B& Bs只有一间客房,所以你会觉得自己是这户人家的一份子。大一些的B& Bs可能有4、5个房间和更多是设施,但一样的热情款待。
In country areas your B&Bs might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around £12 to £ 20 per person. City B&Bs charge about £25 to £ 30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.
在农村,B & B可能在一个村庄或者四周都是田地的独立的农场里。价格反映了房间的设施:通常每人在12到20英镑左右。城市的B & Bs价格在每人25到30英镑左右,尽管越到郊区价格越便宜。
Pubs & Inns 酒吧和客栈
As well as selling drinks and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B&Bs, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of local community.
除了卖酒和饭菜外,英国的酒吧和客栈有时也提供床位和早餐,特别在农村地区。在那里住一两个晚上会十分有趣,并且可以让你处在当地社区的中心。
Rates range from around £15 to £ 25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.
价格在每人15到25英镑左右。酒吧更有可能拥有单人房。

Passage 12
What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
是什么使一个普通人成为科学家?他有与从不同的学习方法和工具吗?答案是否定的。不是因为科学家使用的工具,而是因为他使用工具的方法使他成为科学家。你也许认同怎么用力对一名木匠来说很重要。你也许也认同怎么研究调查,发现信息对每个人来说都很重要。然而,科学家比这更进一步,他必须确定他对自己的问题得出了一个合理的答案,并且他的答案通过别人也可以得到证实。他同时把自己得出的许多答案归结为一个系统的关于世界如何运作的观点。
The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
科学家的知识必须很确切。不能给半错半对或者只有一半机会对的情况留任何空间。他必须在条件允许的情况下尽可能正确。在一种条件下成功一次的话必须在同样的条件下都能成功。如果条件不同,科学家在证明过程中观察到的任何变化都必须解释他的条件是如何变化的。这是关于调查研究在科学研究中十分重要的其中一个理由。爱因斯坦通过数学方法提出了相对论。他的数学运用的正确性被后人通过调查研究的方法证实该理论是正确的。一个科学家会用很多工具来测量。测量的结果用来进行数学计算,再进行调查研究的测试。
11. What makes a scientist according to the passage? 根据这篇文章的观点科学家是如何来的?
A. The tools he uses. B. The way he uses his tools. 他使用工具的方法
C. His way of learning. D. The various tools he uses.

D. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs
13. A sound scientific theory should be one that _______.一项伟大的科学理论应该是怎么样的?
A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times
不仅只在一种条件下一次可行,而是要在同样的条件下一直可行。
B. does not allow any changes even under different conditions
C. can be used for many purposes
D. leave no room for improvement
14. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _______.作者引用爱因斯坦的例子是为了证明什么?

D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.
确切性和使用工具的方法是成为科学家的重要因素。
Passage 13
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 . If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the . no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. (260 words)
在美国,一般不习惯每天很早打电话给某个人。如果你很早打电话给他,在他刮胡子或吃早饭的时候,那就说明这件事情非常重要,需要立刻处理。晚上十一点以后打电话也是同样的意思。如果一个人在睡觉的时候接到电话,那他肯定觉得这是一件事关生死的大事。打电话的时间也显示事情的重要程度。在社会生活中,时间是一个非常重要的角色。在美国,如果在宴会三四天前才受到邀请,那受邀者就会认为自己不是很受重视。但并不是在所有的国家都如此。在世界上的其它地方,提前很多时候做约定被认为是很愚蠢的,因为约好一个星期以后的事情很容易忘记。所以时间的意义在不同的地方是不一样的。因此,来自不同文化背景的人之间就会产生误会。举个例子,准时在美国社会是受到高度认可的。如果某些人不准时,就会被认为不礼貌或不够负责任。在美国,没有一个人会把一次商务活动和等待一小时联系起来,这太不礼貌了。一个人如果迟到五分钟,就要做出解释,也许这还不够。

Passage 14
There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.
目标有三种:短期目标,中期目标和长期目标。
Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.
短期目标是根据每日制定的为了处理当前事物的目标。短期目标可以以少于一个星期,一个星期,两个星期,或者可能的话一个月来完成。我们必须记住,正如只有地基牢靠,建筑物才坚固一样,长期目标脱离了扎实的短期目标的实现是不能实现的。短期目标的实现是以以前完成的目标为前提的。
The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.
中期目标是在短期目标的基础上指定的。可以以一个学期或整个学年为周期指定,或者延长至几年。每次你根据目标前进了一步,都不要让自己感到没有信心或者压力重重。当你完成了一个目标,你都会增加成功的信心。并且当你完成目标的日期越来越近,你的动力和希望都会增加。
Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.(221 words)
长期目标可以和我们未来的梦想相关联。可以是五年或五年以上的目标。生活不是一成不变的。我们不能让长期目标制约了我们或我们的行为。
11. Our long-term goals mean a lot ____________.

13. When we complete each step of our goals, ____________.每完成一个目标,将会增加我们成功的信心。
A. we will win final success B. we are overwhelmed
C. we should build up confidence of success D. we should have strong desire for setting new goals

D. We should often add new short-term goals to those which have been completed.
Passage 15
How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
人们最初是如何发明单词的不得而知,换句话说,语言的起源是个秘密。所有我们所知道的只是,人,不同于动物,不知怎么发明了某些声音来表达思想、情感、行为和物质,以便相互交流;后来统一了某些被称为字母的符号,这些字母可以连起来代表那些声音,可以写下来。我们把那些声音叫做单词,不管他们是口语还是书面语。
The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the thing they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.
文字的力量在于其联系性-它们把这些联系性带到我们的头脑中。通过经历,单词对我们充满了意义。我们活得越久,某些单词就越能使我们回忆起过去的喜怒哀乐;我们越是阅读和学习,有意义的单词数量就越增加。
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.
伟大的作家是那些不仅具有伟大思想而且能用词汇来表达这些思想的人,他们的思想强烈地震撼着我们的心灵和情感。单词的这种美妙和寓意用法就是我们所谓的文学性。总之,真正的诗人是文字的掌握着。他可以用音乐般的词汇来表达自己的意思,这些词汇凭借其所用环境和联系性能让人感动得流泪。因此,我们应该学会仔细选择所用词汇并准确使用,否则会使我们说的话可笑又粗俗。
6. The origin of language is _______. 语言的起源是:
A. a legend handed down from the past B. a matter that is hidden or secret
C. a question difficult to answer D. a problem not yet solved一个还未解决的问题
7. What is true about words? 关于词汇哪一项是对的?

B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.
C. He can move men to tears. D. His style is always charming.
Passage 16
Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
羞怯是许多人不快乐的原因。害羞的人焦虑不安,自我意识强,也就是说,他们过分在意自己的形象和行为。焦虑时常萦绕在他们的脑海中:我给人留下了什么印象?他们喜欢我吗?我让人觉得很傻吗?我的穿着是否不吸引人?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.
显而易见,这种不舒适的感觉必然给人们带来了不利的影响。一个人的自我意识反映在他或她的行为上,而一个人的行为会影响他人的反应。一般而言,人们认识自己的方式对他们的生活的方方面面有深远的影响。
Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.
羞怯的人非常自卑,他们可能很被动,容易受他人的影响。他们需要得到他人的再次确认:他们所做的是“正确的事情”。羞怯的人对批评很敏感,他们认为批评使得他们更低人一等。他们也发现自己很难因为受到类似的表扬而高兴,如:你刚才所说的使我感觉很好。我知道那不是真的。很明显,尽管具有自知之明是件好事,但过度自谦则是有害的。
Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteems, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.
羞怯能根除吗?或至少能减少些吗?幸运的是,许多人能通过坚决而有耐心地建立自信来克服羞怯。既然羞怯与自卑天生相伴,那么人们能看见他们的优缺点是很重要的。
Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.
每一个人都是独一无二的,都有其价值所在。我们对我们自己个人的方式感兴趣。我们了解自己越多,我们就越容易充分发挥自己的潜能。不要让羞怯妨碍我们实现富裕而有成效的人生。
11. What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?”
作者通过引用“我给人留下了什么印象?”来试图说明什么?
A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.
B. People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.

Passage 17
When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.
当John和Victoria Falls到达纽约开始他们的一年生活时,他们没有随身带很多东西。他们计划要么住在装修好的公寓里,要么买些旧家具。但是他们很快了解到越来越多的人正在采用的一种新的方式。租用家具(如窗,桌子,盘子等等)已经成为美国发展最快的行业之一。
What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couple – people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture that they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.
什么样的人是租用家具而不是买家具的呢?从事国际商务的人,政府官员,外国学生,航空公司工作人员,刚结婚的年轻夫妇---- 那些由于工作而被迫频繁来往不同的城市的人。他们可以省去每次搬家具的麻烦和费用。他们到一个新家的时候,只需租新的家具就好了。收入少的年轻人不想买那些他们可能很快就不喜欢的便宜家具。他们宁愿等到有钱时买他们真正喜欢的家具。同时,他们发现他们可以租比他们买得起的质量更好的家具。
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think. (248words)

Passage 18
A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
美国文化的一个特点,并且几乎成为美国的一项传统的是对自我奋斗的人的尊敬――通过自己的努力到达顶峰,通常是白手起家。然而公司,企业的领导,社会地位很高,在社区中获得比一般工人或工厂技术人员更多的尊敬的大学教授,都不愿说出自己的父亲在美国是从一个农民,工人这类人开始奋斗的。
This attitude toward manual(体力的)labor is now still seen many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously(豪华地)furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
这种对体力劳动的尊敬在美国生活的很多地方都能看到。一个人被邀请到一户家庭赴宴,这户家庭装潢不只舒适,可以说是豪华,处处可证明这家人支付的起国外旅行,奢侈的爱好和孩子的大学教育。但是这样的女主人很有可能自己做饭招待客人,然后洗刷餐具,并且这样的宴会不会仅仅提供快餐式的罐头食品,从附近面包房买的蛋糕或派。相反的,女主人通常为精心准备特别的菜肴而感到自豪。男主人会谈论自己如何洗车,在花房劳作,粉刷房子,他的儿子在外地上大学,做餐厅侍应生,洗盘子来供自己生活花费,或者暑假的时候为建筑队在高速公路工作赚钱付学费。
11. From paragraph 1, we know that in America _______.从第一段我们可以知道在美国_______?
A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man人们对自我奋斗的人评价很高
B. people can always rise to the top through their own efforts
C. college professors win great respect from common workers
D. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors
12. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _______.
从这篇文章来看,女主人自己做饭主要是因为_______?
A. servants in American are hard to get
B. she takes pride in what she can do herself 她对自己可以做的事情感到自豪
C. she can hardly afford servants D. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food
13. The expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_______”.
第二段中,词组“等在桌旁”的意思是什么?
A. work in a furniture shop B. keep accounts for a bar
C. wait to lay the table D. serve customers in a restaurant在餐厅为客人服务
14. The author’s attitude towards manual(体力的)labor is _______.作者对体力劳动者的态度如何?
A. positive 积极的 B. negative C. humorous D. critical
15. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage? 下面那项最适合作这篇文章的题目?
A. A Respectable Self-made Family.
B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor. 美国人对体力劳动者的态度
C. Characteristics of American Culture. D. The Development of Manual Labor.

But it is not always possible to do this, so it is sometimes useful to pay workers at different rates, which take differences in skill into __24__.

These above are my expectations of the long-distance education.
11. My Favorite Book(我最喜爱的书)/ The Book I Like Best
My favorite book is A Dream of Red Mansions. It was written by Cao Xueqin. The book tries to tell us that there are different kinds of love, only one kind which should be considered as True Love. In our life, we should marry the true love instead of wealth and good looks. From this book, we also get to know a part of the noble people’s life in Qing Dynasty and find some life philosophies from it. This book is very instructive to people. I can learn a lot from this book. So it is my favorite book.

14 My favorite season(我最喜欢的季节
Among the four seasons, my favorite season is winter. It lasts from December to February. Although winter means cold weather, I love it all the same. In winter, the days are very short. When it comes, the leaves fall from the trees. When it snows, the ground is white with snow. Every time it snows, I will remember an old saying, "When winter comes, can spring be far away?” We can wear warm clothes and go outside to make snowmen. It is a good season for skating. Therefore, I like winter best.
15 My Hobbies(我的爱好)/ My Interests(我的兴趣爱好)/ How I spend my spare time(我如何度过闲暇时光)/ My activities in leisure time(我的休闲生活)
I have many hobbies, such as sports, singing, playing the violin and keeping a diary. I like sports very much. I go running at five o'clock in the morning. After classes in the afternoon, I play table-tennis with my friends. These sports have kept me healthy. At home, I like to sing and play the violin. I practice singing and playing the violin every day. Busy as I am, I am quite happy. Of all my hobbies I like reading books best. In my bedroom there are nearly six hundred books. There are story books, textbooks, magazines, and others. All these books have enriched my knowledge.
16 An Unforgettable Day(难忘的一天)/ A Day to Remember 或 An unforgettable Experience(一次难忘的经历)
When people ask me what day you always remember in your life, I can answer the question quickly. It was March 12th, 2009. Our teacher Mr. Zhu led us to a park near the school. We went there to take part in voluntary labor. We got there at 9 . Mr. Zhu divided us into three groups and then we began working. Group One was responsible to plant trees and water flowers. Group Two were busy collecting litter left by the tourists. I was in Group Three. We went to the children’s playground and cleaned all the equipment there. We worked very hard. After a day’s work, I felt tired but very happy because I offered my service. I will never forget the day in my memory.
17上星期天你打电话叫Jack和你去公园。在公园你们看见……,你们玩得很高兴。(要用如下词汇:get up late, call, get to, many people, do exercise, read, lake, fly)
Last Sunday, I called Jack to go to the park with me. I got up late. We got to the park near our school on foot. We saw many people there. Some old people were doing exercise. Some middle-aged couples were dancing. Some young people were reading. The park was big and there was a large lake in it. It was such a beautiful day. Some children were flying kites. Jack and I also joined them. It was so much fun. We enjoyed ourselves very much.
18 32)Changes in My life(我生活的变化)
There have been many changes in my life. With the development of the economy, my life is better off. For clothing, I have spare money to buy all sorts of pretty clothes. But in the past, there were fewer clothes in my wardrobe. For food, I usually had traditional Chinese food for every meal, rice, noodles or a steamed bun. Nowadays, I can afford any delicious food, including western food. For housing, I moved from a cramped and gloomy room to a big and bright flat. For getting around, I rode an old bike on my way to work a year ago. At present, I drive my private car to travel. I believe my life will become better in the near future.
19 Ways to keep fit (保持健康的方法)/How to keep healthy(如何保持健康)/ Health and eating habits(健康及饮食习惯)
Nowadays more and more people are concerned about their health, but how to keep healthy? First, it is necessary to take some exercise every day. Research shows that getting plenty of exercise makes the heart beat faster and the lungs work harder. Second, eat more fruits, vegetables and less meat. Third, getting rid of bad habits like smoking and drinking is also an important way to keep healthy. Smoking and alcohol drinking injure one's health a great deal, and therefore should be given up. If people follow these three ways of keeping fit, they’ll greatly improve their health.
20 Parents are the best teachers(父母是最好的老师)
Parents are the best teachers. Firstly, parents stay with children every day. Children will regard them as examples and learn from them. If the parents are polite, the children will be polite. Secondly, parents influence children with their words and behaviors. If parents always are nice to others and say good words about others, their children will also be kind to other children. If parents are good to old people, when the parents are getting older, the children will be good to them too. To sum up, from what has been discussed above we can draw the conclusion that parents are our best parents.
21 Failure is the mother of success(失败是成功之母)
All of us experience failure every now and then. Although some people will avoid failure at all costs, some people welcome it. Failure can be a good teacher. It always teaches us to be better the second time around. As they say, "The more you try, the more you'll succeed."
There is some wisdom to be learned from failure. If we can learn to turn a failure to our advantage, we will have learned another secret to success. Failure is the mother of success and success that comes after failure is so sweet.
22 Plant more trees(种更多的树)
April is the best time for green. Everything turns back to life in the warm weather and is enjoying the energy of a new life. Trees are more and more important to the earth. Planting trees is the basic thing to provide a green and healthy environment. Trees, as they are green in color, can make a city or place look more beautiful. It is also valuable in avoiding noises, sandstorms and deserts. It can bring us back a beautiful earth.
So, everyone, if you want to make the air clean, please try your best to protect the environment and plant more trees.
23 My view on luck(关于运气)
Nowadays many people believe in luck. They think luck can bring them everything. If they have good luck, they will be successful without hard work. But this is a wrong idea. As we all know, good luck does not come alone. Luck goes hand in hand with hard work. When a good chance comes to you, but you don’t work hard to complete the task, then you can’t grasp the chance, so good luck passes you by and leaves you. Therefore, people should work hard instead of depending on luck completely.
24 Is stress a bad thing?(压力是坏事吗?)
Quite a number of men and women choose to do things less competitive. They are afraid that the stress of work will rob them of joy and happiness.
In fact, however, stress isn’t the bad thing it is often supposed to be. Above all, unless it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge. Furthermore, people under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to achieve their own personal worth.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to learn to deal with it rather than to escape from it.
25 Do physical ecxcise(锻炼身体)/About Physical exercise(体育锻炼)/My Favorite Sport(我最喜爱的运动)/The sports acitiveties I like best(我最喜爱的运动)
Just as lots of young people take to pop music, I love basketball. It’s part of my life. I began to play basketball in my childhood. I still remember the good old days when I played with my classmates after school. Later on, as I grew up, almost everything changed, but this sport - playing basketball remained and my love of it grew even stronger.
I love this sport because it brings joys and health to my life. When I get tired from office work, I go to the sports ground and I will feel refreshed. It is basketball that keeps me in good shape and mood.
26 My Favorite Sport(我最喜爱的运动)/My favorite form of entertainment(我最喜欢的娱乐形式)/ 或者:My Favorite Hobby(我喜欢的爱好)
Nowadays, with the development of the society, people attach importance to the form of entertainment. I like climbing mountains most, which plays a more and more important role in people’s daily life.
On the one hand, climbing requires walking for a long time. It's a good chance to test my patience and force myself to do excise. On the other hand, I can have a good view on the way. Besides, climbing can offer me a good chance to chat with others. Last but not least, it always makes me feel proud when I reach the top of the mountain.
In a word, climbing makes my life rich and colorful.
27 Should the university campus be open to tourists?(大学校园应该对游客开放吗?)
With the development of tourism, the campuses of many famous universities in China are open to the tourists. People have different opinions about it.
Some people think that the tourists’ visit to the campus will make it harder for students to study. Worse still, it may cause some safety problems. However, others think that it can bring students and the society closer and is good for cultural exchange between people.
In my opinion, several factors should be considered before opening the campuses to tourists. First, I suggest we should choose the universities with long history and beautiful campuses. Second, the campus should only be open to tourists on weekends or during holidays.
28 East, west, home is the best(金窝银窝,不如自家的草窝)
As the old saying goes, “East, west, home is the best”. Whenever I’m tired, I can have a good rest at home. Whenever I feel sad, my parents will come to comfort me. Whenever I’m happy, I can share my joy with my family members.
I live in Shanghai. There are two bedrooms and a living room in my home. Although the flat is not big, I feel comfortable to live there. It is near my company, so I can ride a bike to work everyday. During the weekends, I will do some housework and study English at home.
I love my home. It is the best place ever.
29 City life and suburban life(城市生活和郊区生活)
Different people have different views on life in city or suburb. Some people prefer to live in city while others prefer to live in suburb.
It is true that living in big city is convenient and entertaining. There are restaurants, supermarkets, shopping malls in your neighborhood. You can easily buy any stuff you need. In contract, living in suburb is quite different. It serves fresh air and beautiful scenery and the most important thing is quietness.
For me, I like to live in big city because of the colorful life and convenience for working.
30 ) My view of the country life and town life(乡村生活和城市生活)/ Where to live(住在哪里)
【范文1】Some people believe that town life is better than country life. I don’t agree with this. Town life can be convenient to us in many aspects. For example, you can move around easily, shopping can be more fun in a big shopping mall and you can enjoy a more colorful nightlife. But there are also many disadvantages. It is much nosier than in the country. Air pollution is more serious. It is not easy to park your car. It costs more to live in town. To name but a few is enough. Therefore, I prefer country life.
31 Honesty is the best policy(诚实乃上策)
There is an English proverb saying "Honesty is the best policy." It tells us the importance of honesty. What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.
It is usually better to be honest than dishonest. Sometimes honesty may get you in trouble or hurt someone, but on the whole telling the truth is less harmful than lying.
In a word, honesty not only brings us honor and friendship, but also material gains. Honesty is the best policy we can take.
32 Interest is the best teacher(兴趣是最好的老师)
Albert once said “Interest is the best teacher”. Firstly, if you are interested in something, you will think of it every day. Secondly, if you are interested in something, you will study hard to be good at it. Thirdly, if you are interested, you will be happy to overcome the difficulties you meet in doing it. Fourthly, if you are interested, you will get more joys and happiness from it. And you will get bigger success in it. Therefore, interest is the best teacher in your life.
33 Choosing a job(找工作)
Different people have different requirements of choosing a good job. Some think a decent salary is the most important factor while others regard training and experience to be the key factor.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s more important to accumulate experience than get high salary. Rich experience offers people more opportunities to earn money.
Besides, the more working experience you gain, the more competitive you will become. It makes people more confident. Therefore, it’s important to know yourself and find a job which brings you bright prospects.

36 Television / About Television (电 视)
Television came into being in the 1930's. Since then, millions of children have grown up in front of television sets. Why do people like TV? Because it's helpful and has brought about great changes in our daily life. TV helps to open people's eyes. It brings the whole world into our homes. We can know everything in our country and in other parts of the world without leaving home. We can learn things better and more easily on TV than over the radio or in books. They can be heard and watched at the same time. TV helps open people's minds. It always brings new ideas to us. That makes us find new ways to do things better and faster. In a word, TV is helpful. It does us lots of good. It is really our good friend.
37 My Hometown (我的故乡)
My hometown is Haimen, which is not far from Shanghai. Haimen is a modern city. There are lots of high buildings in it. Most of us live in flats because we can be close to our friends. My hometown is a beautiful city. On either side of the roads, there are some big trees and nice flowers. The roads are also very clean, which makes people happy and comfortable. The weather here is very nice. I like autumn best, for it’s neither hot nor cold but very cool. I love Haimen. Welcome to my hometown.
38 My Favorite TV program (我最喜爱的电视节目)
The News Report has always been my favorite TV program. The News Report contains a large amount of information ranging from the international political situation to the latest football game. And the most important character is its fast pace. Because of this fast pace, news programs can contain much information in a short time. In my opinion, the News Report is more than a TV program. It is a way of communication. From this program, people can know and understand world affairs. I especially appreciate this benefit of watching the news.
39 On Money (关于钱)
What is money? someone says it is nothing while others say it is the most important thing in their life and without it they can’t live any longer. It said: money is not everything ,but without it you can’t do any thing. In my opinion, it is right . but we should also hold a right attitude to it. You must heard that story that a rich man want to find happyness, at last he found it in a poor man’s life. Sometimes we think that the rich persons are the happiest ones in the world. However, it is not. The more money they have ,the more morose they feel. In fact, without money, we can have an interesting and exciting life also. So having lots money or less money is not the important thing , the important thing is weather we are happy or not, is it that make our life full of wonderful thing.
40,My Family life (我的家庭生活)
There are seven people in my family. They" re my grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, my two younger brothers and I. My father is a businessman. He" s busy working everyday. My mother is a housewife. She cooks meals, washes clothes, and teaches us lessons everyday. One of my younger brothers is a junior high school student, and we go to the same school. My grandparents help my parents look after the youngest brother every day. We go to the movies every Sunday. How" s your family?
41 ,Private Cars in China (私家车在中国的问题)
As time develops, there are many large changing happening in people’s lives .Being like other West countries, private cars begin to be very popular in our country. Certainly, there must be many things following with it. Maybe it is good for our society, Or maybe it is harmful. Now, I’d like to announce some not mature opinions. In our lives, especially in this century, time becomes more and more important, Buses seem to be more bulky than the private cars. We can go anywhere. which we like immediately in our own car. But, if you come to wait for a bus, it will take your much time, and it’s more likely to be no seats. In this hand, you must choice the convenient way to buy a private car for yourself.
42 The Computer (计算机/电脑)
Nowadays, computers are becoming more and more popular. Computers can help different people in different ways. They can help children with lessons and homework, help students and scholars do calculations, analyze data and present the latest achievements. Furthermore, they can assist engineers and experts in the design of a mold, a bridge or a spaceship. Besides, computers can offer fun and entertainment to us with the internet games, movies, and etc. Indeed, computers have become a good companion of man.
43 Health and Wealth (健康和财富)
Which is more important, wealth or health? Different people have different opinions.
Some people prefer wealth, holding that money can not bring everything, but without it, one can do nothing. In order to get more money they can do anything. However, other people regard health as more important. Once health is lost, it is no use having a lot of money.
As far as I am concerned, I love wealth, but I value health more. Everybody wants to live a happy life. So they try their best to earn money which they can ensure they lead a comfortable life, but if happiness and comfort are achieved at the cost of their health, how can they be happy Without health money becomes meaningless.
In my opinion, no one agrees that a wealthy person without good health can be happy. So, just do our best and keep fit

Oh, there will also be a band to perform live music. I think it will be exciting to dance with the live music. Please be sure to come. I am looking forward to your coming.
Yours
Cynthia

Dear Miss Zhang,
I had to ask for a leave as I had an accident on my way home yesterday. I fell off from my bicycle and hurt myself badly. Fortunately, i was sent to the hospital by a kind man. After checking, the doctor asked me to stay in bed for three days. And now I'm asking for your permission, hoping that you can admit my leaving for this reason. I will study at home so as not to fall behind.
yours,
ZhangLin
