Fall in Love with English

爱上英语

Hiding behind the loose dusty curtain a teenager packed up his overcoat into the

suitcase. He planned to leave home at dusk though there was thunder and lightning

outdoors. He had got to do this because he was tired of his parents nagging about his

English study and did not want to go through it any longer. He couldn't get along well

with English and disliked joining in English classes because he thought his teacher

ignored him on purpose. As a result,his score in each exam never added up to over 60.

His partner was concerned about him very much.She understood exactly what he

was suffering from but entirely disagreed with his idea. In order to calm him down and

settle his problem. she talked with him face to face and swapped a series of leaning tips

with him. The items she set down helped him find the highway to studying English

well.

The teenager was grateful and got great power from his friend's words Now,he has

recovered from being upset and has fallen in love with English.

1.爱上英语
有个少年躲在积满灰尘的松散窗帘后把大衣装入手提箱。尽管外面正打雷闪
电，他仍计划在黄昏时分离家出走。他不得不这样做是因为厌倦了父母对他英语
学习的唠叨，不想再忍受下去了。他的英语学习总是无法取得进展，而且不喜欢
参加英语课的学习，因为他以为老师有意忽视他。结果，他每次考试的分数合计
从未超过 60。他的搭档很关心他，也确切地理解他遭受的折磨，但却完全不同意
他的想法。为了使他冷静下来好好解决问题，她和他面对面地交谈，并交换了一
系列的学习心得技巧。她写下来的条款帮助他找到了学好英语的最佳捷径。这个
少年非常很感激，并从朋友的话里获得极大的动力。现在,他已经从沮丧中恢复过
来，真正爱上了英语。
 2. A Hard Trip
一次辛苦的旅行

My sister was fond of traveling. Ever since graduating, she had been determined to

organize a trip to an old temple. Since transporting fare was expensive, she decided to

use a bicycle to cycle there not caring about the disadvantages. Her stubborn attitude

was always her shortcoming. Once she made up her mind to do something. no one

could persuade her to change her mind. Finally,we gave in as usual though we preferred

to take a train. After we prepared everything, including the schedule, reliable weather

forecast and the insurance, we began our trip.

Our journey was along a river flowing from a high altitude. Our pace was slow

because the river frequently had many sharp bends through deep valleys. where the

water seemed to boil. Just as I recorded in my journal, it was really a hard journey. But

we also enjoyed great views. One night, I put my head on my pillow--a parcel of wool

coats, and lay beneath the stars. When the flame in front of our cave went out at

midnight, I found the sky so beautiful!

2.一次辛苦的旅行
我的妹妹很喜欢旅行。自从毕业以来，她就下定决心要组织一次往一座古庙
的旅行。因为交通费用昂贵，她决定骑自行车去，毫不担心其中的不利情况。顽
固的态度一直都是她的缺点，一旦她下定决心要做的事，就没有人能说服她改变
主意。最后，我们像往常一样让步，尽管我们更喜欢乘火车去。我们准备好了所
有东西，包括时间表、可靠的天气预报，还有保险，就开始了旅程。
我们的旅程沿着一条从高海拔处流下来的河流前行。但我们的步伐很慢，因
为当流经深深的峡谷时，这条河流急转弯很多，急湍的河水都似平沸腾起来。正
如我在旅行日志里记录的那样，这真是一次艰苦的旅行。但是我们也欣赏到了美
丽的景色。一天晚上，我把头枕在一包羊毛衣服做的枕头上，躺在星空下，当岩
洞前的火焰在午夜熄灭时，我发现夜空是如此的美丽!
 3. Different Countries Have Different Kinds of Englishes
不同的国家有不同的英语

Voyages of people from England play an important part in spreading the English

language. At present, English is frequently spoken as an official or common language in

many countries, such as America, Singapore, Malaysia and some African countries.

All based on British English, the English spoken in these countries can be well

understood by native English speakers. But actually, these Englishes have been gradually

changing in accents, spellings expressions and the usage of vocabulary.

Because of this fact, you can make use of the differences to tell which country the

foreigners of your block are from. For example, if a boss fluently commands his driver,

"Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and

cabs", instead of requesting:“Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my

lorries and taxis", you can recognize his American identity, while the latter suggests that

he is British.

3.不同的国家有不同的英语
英国人的航海在英语的传播中扮演了重要的角色。目前，英语在许多国家被
作为官方语言或通用语言频繁地使用，例如美国、新加坡、马来西亚和一些非洲
的国家。这些国家的英语都以英式英语为基础，能很好地为以英语为本族语的人
所理解。但是实际上，这些英语在口音、拼写、表达和词汇的使用方面都在逐渐
变化。
因为这一情况的存在你就可以利用这些英语之间的区别说出你们街区的外
国人是哪个国家来的了。例如，如果有个老板流利地命令他的司机: Come up
straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs(直接搭
电梯到我公寓上来拿卡车和出租车的汽油)”，而不是要求说，“Please come to my
flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis(请直接搭电梯到我公寓上来拿
卡车和出租车的汽油)”你就可以轻易地辨认出他的美国人身份，而后者却暗示着
那是一位英国人。(请注意:听力录音里第二段两个“电梯”的单词跟原文不一致，
原文是对的，录音弄错了，elevator 才是美式说法而 lift 是英式说法。)
 4.A Horrible Earthquake
可怕的地震

Dirty water rose in wells and canals before the earthquake. But no one judged that

an earthquake was coming. Suddenly, everything shook. It seemed as if the world was at

an end. Millions of brick houses and a number of dams were destroyed. Railway tracks

became useless bars . Pipes in mines burst and let out smelly steam. Huge cracks trapped

cyclists everywhere.

The next day, this event was the headline or main title of all newspapers. With the

reporters giving an outline of the disaster, the whole nation was shocked by the damage

and the victim’s extreme suffering. People were moved when they read that the

survivors comforted each other by saying Congratulations! You survived!" So they not

only expressed their sympathy sincerely, but also organized together to help the victims

right away. The injured were rescued and the dead were buried. The frightened

survivors were dug out from under the ruins and were offered shelter, fresh water and

electricity. Thanks to people’s help, the loss was minimized.

4.可怕的地震
地震前，水井和运河里的污水都涨涌起来。但是却没人判断出地震即将来临。
刹那间，一切都在摇晃，似乎整个世界就要结束。数以百万的砖房和许多水坝遭
到破坏；铁路轨道都变成无用的铁条；煤矿管道纷纷爆裂，发出有臭味的蒸汽;
到处都有骑车的人被巨大的裂缝陷住。
第二天，所有报纸都纷纷以大字标题或主要标题报道了这一事件。记者们描
述了灾难的大概情况，全国都被地震的破坏和灾民们极度的苦难所震惊。当人们
读到幸存者以“恭喜啊，你还活着。”来互相安慰时，都被感动了。人们不仅衷
心地表达了他们的同情，而且还立刻组织起来帮助灾民。伤员被救助了，死者被
埋葬了，吓坏的幸存者被从废墟中挖出来了，栖身处、净水和电力也很快得到提
供。多亏了人们的帮助，灾区的损失被减到了最小。
 5.The Great President
伟大的总统

As the founder of the republic the president had many good qualities, Before

coming to power, he was a generous lawyer.He was willing to selflessly help everyone

who turned to him. He accepted no fee to offer legal guidance and opinions to those

who were out of work or uneducated. Later believing all mankind to be equal, he

devoted him self to stopping the unfair anti-black laws. He set up the Black Youth

League and was voted to be the leader. However, though he kept peaceful principles

without violence and terror, his mean enemies still blew up his house and attacked his

relatives and he himself couldn't escape being sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Not fearing of the prison guards’ cruelty, he kept active and begged no mercy

from them. As a matter of fact, he was always hopeful and never lost heart during the

stage even though he was in trouble.

Finally, people rewarded him with the leader's position and a gold blanket.

5.伟大的总统
作为共和国的创始人，这位总统具备许多的优秀品质。还在掌权之前他就是
一位慷慨的律师。他愿意无私地帮助那些向他求助的人。他免费为失业的，或没
有受过教育的人提供法律指导和意见。后来，因为相信所有人类都是生来平等，
他全身心投入到废除不平等的反黑人法律工作中。他建立了黑人青年团并被选为
领袖。然而，尽管他坚持没有暴力、没有恐怖的和平原则，卑鄙的敌人还是炸毁
了他的家、袭击了他的亲属，他自己也无法逃脱被判 30 年徒刑的遭遇。
在狱中，他毫不畏惧狱警的残酷，始终保持积极的态度，不向他们乞求怜悯。
实际上，他在任何一个困境时期都充满着希望，从未灰心。
最后，人们以领袖的职位和一块金毯子回报了他的贡献。
 6.A Brave Maid
勇敢的女仆

A wooden vase from the Ming Dynasty at the entrance of the reception hall

amazed everyone.The artists designed it in a rare style and selected valuable jewels to

decorate it. People thought highly of its fancy colour of honey and the beautiful

paintings on it.

The vase used to belong to a former castle. But when the country was at war the

enemy troops exploded the castle. Debates on how the vase survived went on and on. In

order to remove peoples doubt, a team of no less than 20 people carried out an informal

investigation. The evidences they found showed that a maid took the vase apart and

asked a sailor to sink it in a local well. She never gave away the secret even under the

cruel trial of the enemies who were in search of treasures.

It is worth giving this brave maid a fortune in return.

6.勇敢的女仆
接待大厅入口处的明朝木制花瓶使每个人都惊奇不已。艺术家以一种罕有的
风格设计它，并挑选了贵重的珠宝装饰。人们高度赞赏它那蜂蜜般的奇特颜色，
还有上面绘制的绘画。
这个花瓶曾经属于一座从前的城堡，但在战争期间，敌人的军队炸毁了城堡，
于是关于这个花瓶是如何幸存下来的争论就一直在持续着。为了解开人们的疑问，
一个由不少于 20 人的调查队开展了一次非正式的调杳。他们找到的证据表明，
有个女仆把花瓶拆开，然后让一名水手把它沉到当地的一个水井里。她从来没有
泄露这个秘密，即使是在搜寻财宝的敌人残酷的审讯下。
这位女仆真是值得给予一大笔钱作为对她的回报。
 7.A Fair Competition
公平的比赛

Swifter, Higher and Stronger stands for the spirit of the Olympics.But fairness is the

basis of this motto. Only when you win fairly will you and you homeland deserve the

great glory. But nowadays ,unlike the ancient honest slave competitors, some hopeless

athletes who can't bear the pain of training cheat when taking part in games. Medals

seem to have magical power causing them to cheat, and the prize money has replaced

the motto as their only goal.

So in the gymnastics event to be held in our city next month.one of the host's

responsibilities is to keep competitions fair. They advertised on posters outside the

stadium to promise that every competitor is to have a regular physical examination in a

gymnasium one after another. No one can bargain on this. The volunteers in charge will

be very strict. It is foolish to cheat because they will not be admitted to compete and will

even be fined as well.

7.公平的比赛
“更快!更高!更强!”代表着奥运精神。但是公平却是这一格言的基础。只有
当你公平地赢得比赛，你和你的祖国才会承受这样的光荣。但如今，不像古代那
些诚实的奴隶参赛者，有些没有希望的运动员无法承受训练的痛苦，于是在参加
比赛时作假。奖牌似乎有某种魔力使他们作假，奖金也已经代替了奥运格言成为
了他们唯一的目标。
因此，在我们市下个月即将举行的一场体操赛事中，主办方的其中一项责任
就是要确保比赛的公平。他们在体育场外的海报上做广告，承诺说每个参赛者都
将在体育馆一个一个地参加常规的身体检查。对此没有人可以讨价还价。负责此
事的志愿者将非常严格。作假是很愚蠢的，因为他们将不被允许去竞赛，其至还
将被罚款。
 8.Computers
电脑

The goal of early calculating machines was to simplify difficult sums. But with the

help of new technology, electronic chips replaced tubes and a revolution of artificial

intelligence has arisen. From then on, the appearance of computers totally changed our

lives. They can not only download information from the wet when connected by the

network or mobile phone signals, but also solve different types of logical problems. With

operators as their coaches, they can even control rockets to explore the moon and

instruct androids with the human race’s characters to mop floors and watch over your

naughty niece. Anyhow, computers are so helpful that they do bring happiness.

However, computers are easily attacked by viruses. This reality has become a

hard-to-deal with-problem. As a result, computers are dangerous in a way. So,

personally, I worry about their universal applications in some fields, such as finance.

6.电脑
早期计算机器的目的是简化比较难的计算。但是在新技术的帮助下,电子芯片
代替了电子管，一场人工智能革命由此掀起。从那时起，电脑的出现完全改变了
我们的生活，它们不仅能在网络或移动电话信号的连接下从网上下载信息，而且
可以解决各种类型的逻辑问题。在操作员的教练下，它们其至还可以控制火箭探
索月球，指导具有人类性格的机器人擦洗地板和照顾你调皮的侄女。不管怎么说，
电脑都是如此的有用，以致的确给人们带来了快乐。
然而，电脑很容易受到病毒的攻击，这一现实已经成为一个难以处理的难题，
结果，电脑在某种程度上是很危险的。因此，就个人而言，我很担心电脑在某些
领域，例如金融方面的广泛应用。
 9.Wildlife Protection
保护野生动植物

Dinosaurs died out because of an unexpected incident. But wildlife today

disappears or is in danger just because humans do harm to it. For example, tigers are

hunted for fur to make carpets so that they can only live in secure reserves: grassland is

destroyed without mercy so that dust storms come into being affecting distant cities.

Last year, scientists saw some monkeys rubbing themselves with a certain kind of

insects to protect themselves from fierce mosquitoes biting. According to the result of

the inspection, they found that the insect contains a powerful drug, so local farmers were

employed to catch the insects. The ending was that the insects disappeared from the

whole zone. When told that it was a loss to humans, the farmers burst into laughter and

responded,“Our real loss is our decreasing income.”

We should appreciate the natural balance and pay more attention to the importance

of wildlife protection. Not until we succeed in letting wildlife live in peace, can we

smile in relief.

9.保护野生动植物
恐龙因一次意外事件而灭绝，但是今天的野生动植物却是因为人类的伤害而
消失或处在危险中。例如，老虎被猎杀以获取做地毯的皮毛，以致它们只能生活
在安全的保护区里；草地被毫不怜悯地破坏，以致沙尘暴开始影响遥远的城市。
去年，科学家观察到猴子在身上擦某种昆虫来保护自己不受凶猛的蚊子的
叮咬。根据检查的结果，他们发现这种昆虫含有一种具有强大效力的药物，于是，
当地的农民都被雇来抓虫子。结果是，这种昆虫从这整个地区都消失了。当被告
知说这是整个人类的损失时，农民们都突然大笑着回应道：“我们减少的收入才
是我们真正的损失呢！”
我们应该意识到自然平衡的重要，更加注意野生动物的保护。直到我们成功
让野生动物安详平静地生活，我们自己才能如释重负地笑开颜。
 10.My first Band
我的第一支乐队

I was very sensitive to music. Just dipping into the music books briefly. l could sing

or play well. To be honest, I always dreamt of becoming a famous folk actor. I was so

confident that I never decreased my devotion.

I formed my first band called “Rolling Frog”. At the beginning, we relied on

performing on instruments in pubs or to passers-by to earn extra money in cash Then

we wore false beards to pretend to be the musicians whom people were familiar with. In

addition, we attached humorous acts to our performances and played jokes on each

other. Soon, our “funny jazz” became famous and invitations to perform for broadcast

stations began to come. Afterwards, we sorted out attractive music and made a record in

a studio. A million or so copies were sold and we became millionaires.

It was painful that the band broke up finally. But above all. I realized my dream to

be a musician.

10.我的第一支乐队
我对音乐很敏感，只要简要地浏览一下乐谱，我就能演唱或演奏得很好。说
实话，我一直都梦想着能成为出名的民间演员，自信的我从未减少过热爱。
我组成的第一支乐队叫做“摇滚蛙”。开始，我们依靠在酒吧里或向路人表
演乐器来挣些零花的现金。然后我们带上假胡子假扮人们熟悉的音乐家，除此之
外，我们在表演中加上幽默的动作，互相开着玩笑。很快，我们的“滑稽爵士乐”
出了名，到广播电台表演的邀请开始多起来。随后，我们把我们吸引人的音乐做
了分类，在一间音乐工作室录制了 1 张唱片，大约卖出了 100 万张，这使我们都
成了百万富翁。
乐队最终的解散让我很心痛，但最重要的是，我实现了自己当音乐家的梦想。
 11.An Interesting Festival
有趣的节日
The Agricultural Feast takes place after the Independence Day. It is not a

worldwide celebration. Only Christians in Mexico look forward to its arrival for its

religious origin:

Long ago, human’s ancestors were bad. They fooled and played tricks on each

other and never kept their word. So God turned up and drowned all their crops.

Humans starved day and night weeping. In order to gain God's forgiveness, a woman

poet set off to see God. She admired God and kept apologizing. God was moved. With

his permission, humans finally had good harvests again. So, to wipe sadness and remind

themselves of the belief in God, people began the festival.

On the festival people gather in open air such as playgrounds or parking lots, and

energetically have fun with each other all night long, as though they were never tired.

When a beauty dressed up in lovely clothing reads poems in memory of the poet,

everyone holds their breath. Then, it is the custom that the bone of a rooster head is

given to her as an award.

Obviously, the story is not true,but the festival is interesting.

11.有趣的节日
农业盛会在独立日后举行。它不是一个世界性的庆典，由于它的宗教起源，
只有墨西哥的基督徒才盼着节日的到来:
很久以前，人类的祖先很坏，他们互相欺骗，耍诡计，从不遵守诺言。于是，
上帝出现了，淹死了他们所有的作物。人们日夜挨饿，哭泣着。为了获得上帝的
原谅，一位女诗人出发去见上帝。她对上帝的赞美和怀有的歉意感动了上帝，有
了他的允许，人类终于又获得了丰收。因此，为了抹去忧伤并提醒自己对上帝的
信仰，人们开始举办这个节日。
在节日那天，人们聚集在露天场所，例如操场或停车场，通宵达旦地玩得非
常开心，精力充沛的人们似乎不知疲倦。当一位用可爱的衣服盛装打扮的美女朗
读诗歌以纪念那位诗人时，在场的每个人都屏住了呼吸，然后，按照风俗，将奖
励给她一只公鸡的头骨。
很明显，这个故事不是真的，但是节日却很有趣。
 12.Balanced Diet
平衡膳食

Wang Peng earned his living by running a barbecue restaurant, which served

delicious bacon, fried chicken breast and mutton roasted with pepper and garlic. But his

food and discount attracted fewer and fewer customers. Finally, he was in debt. Yong

Hui’s slimming restaurant served fresh peas, carrots, eggplants, and raw cucumbers

with vinegar. As the hostess, she said fibres benefited customers' digestion the most. In

order not to let Yong Hui get away with telling lies, Wang Peng spied on Yong Hui

despite her glare. But he was surprised that she was losing her customers too.

Curiosity drove Wang Peng to consult an expert. The expert sighed and said,“Both

of your menus have weakness and limited strength. Your customers put on weight too

easily, while Yong Hui's lose weight too quickly. So, Wang Peng cut down the fat of

your food and increase vegetables and fruits, like nuts, beans, mushrooms, peaches and

lemons. You ought to combine the two menus and provide a balanced diet.

Before long, Wang Peng won his customers back.

12.平衡膳食
王鹏经营一家烧烤餐厅来谋生，他的餐厅供应美味的腊肉、油炸的鸡胸，还
有用辣椒和大蒜一起烤制的羊肉。但是，他的食物和折扣吸引的顾客越来越少，
最后是他负债累累。永慧的减肥餐厅供应的是新鲜的豌豆、红萝卜、茄子和醋腌
的生黄瓜。作为老板娘(女主人)，她总是说食物纤维才最有利于顾客的消化。为
了不让永慧说了谎不受惩罚，王鹏不顾她的怒视，前去探查个究竟。但是让他惊
奇的是，永慧的顾客也在严重地流失。
好奇心驱使王鹏去咨询专家。那位专家叹息着说:“你们俩的菜单都缺点明显、
优点有限。你的顾客很容易就发胖，而永慧的顾客体重却减轻得太快。所以嘛，
王鹏，你要减少你的食物中的脂肪含量，增加蔬菜和水果，例如坚果、豆类、蘑
菇、桃子和柠檬之类。你应该把两份菜单结合起来，给顾客提供平衡的膳食。”
不久，王鹏就赢回了他的顾客。
 13.Sailing Home
划船回家

This novel was about an unbelievable but genuine adventure. Its author was a black

businessman who was brought up in America. In 1956, he visited Africa, his birthplace.

One day, when he was wandering on the pavement near the bay enjoying the sea scenes,

he lost his money and passport that he kept in an envelope. So he went to the embassy

to seek help, but the ambassador with rude manners didn't permit his staff to help

though he bowed to him. Staring at his impatient face, he understood that it was the

fault of his skin colour that accounted for their refection. So he decided to take a chance

to sail on a small boat home.

He met a large amount of difficulty but was never stopped. On the contrary,

difficulty pushed him to go ahead harder. Three months later, he was spotted by a ship

by accident. He was in rags indeed. A maid even screamed when bringing him a steak

and pineapple dessert. Aboard, he earned his passage by working as a barber and got

home finally. As for the name of his novel he couldn't think of a better one than the

phrase“Go Ahead”.

13.划船回家
这部小说写的是一次令人难以置信而又真实的历险。其作者是一位在美国被
抚养长大的黑人商人。1956 年，他回到他的出生地非洲。有一天，当他在海湾边
的人行道上漫步欣赏海景时，他丢失了一个装着钱和护照的信封，于是向当地的
大使馆寻求帮助。但是大使态度非常粗鲁，即使向他鞠躬，也不允许他的职员帮
忙。盯着他那不耐烦的脸，他知道是他皮肤颜色的错才导致了他们的拒绝。于是，
他决定冒险驾驶一只小船回家。
他遇到了许多困难，但是从未停止，相反，困难推动他更努力地前进。三个
月后，当他被一艘船偶然发现时，真的是衣衫褴褛。给他端来牛排和菠萝甜品的
女仆其至被吓得尖叫起来。在船上，他当一名理发师来挣取船费，最后终于回到
了家。至于这部小说的名字，他再也不能想到一个比“前进”更好的短语了。
 14.Explore MKI

探测 MKII 行星

MKⅡ. a planet billions of kilometers away, is the origin of life in many religions.

Physicists have proved the theory that its gentle climate and the pull of its gravity are

similar to the earth’s. And astronomers have found that oxygen atoms and carbon

dioxide, which are fundamental to life, exist in its atmosphere through satellites.

Cheered up by this news, biologists, in their turn, began to do some research to remove

peoples puzzles-Now that there are some suitable conditions, does life really exist on

this globe? Do they multiply by laying eggs or giving birth to babies?

Last month, a spaceship was sent there. It's a pity that this mission failed. Unlike the

earth, MK Ⅱ is a much younger planet. Thus, masses of harmful acid clouds float

everywhere causing violent chain reactions to break out. These clouds not only blocked

out the pilots’ sight but also damaged the engine system. Luckily, the pilots watched

out carefully and prevented the spaceship from crashing in time.

14.探测 MKII 行星
MK 二号是一颗几十亿公里外的行星，它在许多宗教里都是生命起源的地方。
物理学家已经证明了它温和的气候和重力的牵引都和地球相似的理论;天文学家
也通过卫星，在它的大气层里发现了氧原子和二氧化碳的存在，这些都是对生命
来说，都是基本的。受到这一消息的鼓舞，生物学家们接着开始了研究以解开人
们的迷惑一既然有了适合的条件，生命真的存在于这个星球吗?他们是通过下蛋，
还是产仔来繁殖后代的呢?
上个月，一艘太空飞船被派到了那儿。可惜的是，这次任务失败了。不像地
球，MK 二号是一颗年轻得多的行星。因此，大团大团的有害酸云到处漂浮，引
起猛烈的连锁反应的爆发。这些云团不仅阻挡了飞行员的视线，而且还损坏了发
动机系统。幸运的是，飞行员小心注意，才及时阻止了飞船的坠毁。
 15.A Journey across Canada
横穿加拿大的旅行

After a quiz last autumn, Kuang crossed the continent eastward to Toronto to visit

his schoolmate, the distance measuring approximately 5.000 kilometers.

His train started from Vancouver, a city surrounded by mountains. After

confirming his baggage was aboard the train. Kuang settled down in his seat. Having a

gift for communication, he started chatting with another passenger within 5 mmutes.

Their topics included the Canadian traditions, the Prime Minister, the mixture of races,

and the terrifying Great Fall. After a nice buffet at noon, he was pleased to find that the

scenery was impressive. He saw beautiful harbours in the distance, wealthy urban areas

and maple forest that covered thousands of acres. He even managed to catch sight of an

eagle flying upward over bushes.

Kuang reached Toronto which lies slightly near the border at a misty dawn. There

was frost and the broad downtown streets were very quiet. Though it was early, Kuang

phoned his schoolmate in a booth nearby at once rather than waiting for him to come.

They had a good time together.

15.横穿加拿大的旅行
去年秋天的一次考试后，光向东横穿整个大陆，来到多伦多探望他的同学，
这次旅行的距离测量起来大约有五千多公里。
他的火车从群山围绕的温哥华启程。在证实了自己的行李都在火车上之后，
光就在座位上安坐下来。因为在与人交流方面有天赋，他在 5 分钟内就和另一个
乘客聊起天来。他们的话题包括加拿大的传统、加拿大的总理、种族的混合，还
有让人心惊胆战的大瀑布。中午吃了一顿美味的自助餐后，他很高兴发现外面的
风景非常让人印象深刻。他看见了远处美丽的海港、富裕的市区，还有延绵几千
亩的枫树林，他甚至还设法看见了一只在灌木丛上空翱翔的鹰。
光在一个薄雾笼罩的黎明到达稍稍接近边境的多伦多，地上有霜，宽阔的市
区街道很安静。尽管还很早，光却不愿等待，立刻就在附近电话亭给同学打了个
电话。他们在一起度过了美好的时光。

新的耕种方式

Tuan was a farmer in Vietnam. For decades, he had been struggling to rid his

family of hunger. However, it always confused him how to expand the output of his

crops. This disturbing problem led to his regretting being a farmer. He would rather

have chosen another job.

One day, when skimming through a newspaper. Tuan read a comment on Yan

Longpin. He underlined Yuan’s nationality and occupation, and then focused on his

discovery and the statistics of his research. He found the knowledge Yian circulated very

practical. Therefore, he made a summary and began to build up a new farming method.

He planted super grain of rich nutrition and equipped himself to keep his crops roots

free from bacteria and pests. He also enriched minerals in the soil while reducing

chemical fertilizers. Though it cost him more time and freedom he was full of hope.

The next year, Tuan was sunburnt but satisfied with his production vert much.

Thanks to Yuan Longpin, he not only won the battle against hunger, but he could also

export his crops abroad.

俊是一名越南的农民，几十年来，他都一直在努力使家人摆脱饥饿。然而，
如何扩大他的农作物产量这一问题却一直在困扰着他。这个恼人的问题导致了他
后悔当一名农民，而宁愿自己当初选择其它的工作。
一天，俊在浏览报纸的时候，读到一篇关于袁隆平的评论。他在袁的国籍和
职业下面划了线，然后将焦点集中在他的发现和研究数据上。他发现袁传播的知

Chaplin was an extraordinary performer who starred in and directed many

outstanding comedies. Few were bored watching his moustache, his gestures or his

entertaining reactions when chased by detectives. Being drunk, sliding on a banana skin

or whispering his own failures to nobody, he made us feel more content with our life

without any verbal explanation. His particular sense of humor has astonished everybody

throughout the world up to now.

In a small budget film, he played a badly-off and homeless person wearing

worn-out shoes and messy clothes. On one occasion, he was trapped by a snowstorm in

a vast mountainous area. Though he overcame many difficulties, he wasn't fortunate

enough. With all the porridge eaten up, he picked out a shoe and boiled it to eat. He

cut off the leather bottom and chewed it like a pancake. According to an actress, his

acting was so convincing and amusing that everybody couldn't help bursting into

laughter.

18.幽默大师卓别林
卓别林是一名非凡的演员，他主演并导演了多部杰出的喜剧。看见他可笑的
小胡子、滑稽的手势动作，还有面对警探的追捕时有趣的反应，很少有人会觉得
厌烦。喝醉酒啦，踩到香蕉皮滑倒啦，或者自言自语(低语)自己的糗事啦，他无
需任何语言解释的表演总是使我们对自己的生活感到更加满意。他独特的幽默感
直到现在依然使世界各地的人们都感到惊讶。
在一部小预算的电影里，他穿着磨破的鞋子和脏兮兮的衣服，扮演了一名贫
穷又无家可归的人。在一幕场景中，他被一场暴风雪困在一片多山的区里。尽管
他克服了许多困难，但是他还是运气不好的。粥都吃完了，他只好挑出一只鞋子
煮来吃。他切下皮革的鞋底，像烙饼一样地咀嚼起来。据一名女演员所说，他的
表演是如此地令人信服而又逗人发笑的以致在场的所有人都忍不住大笑起来。
 19. A Misunderstanding
一场误会

In general, spoken statements are the major way of communication, but body

language and facial expressions also have such kinds of function. For example yawning

means being not interested and turning one's back to someone or swinging your fist

shows your anger. But what those gestures really mean is subjective in different cultures.

Thus, misunderstandings happen now and then in today’s world of cultural crossroads.

Once, representing the Adults ’ Education Association. I went to the airport to

meet an official of high rank from Columbia and take him to his dormitory and then to

the canteen. After the flight arrived, I saw a man looking around curiously. So I

approached to greet him. He suddenly dashed to hug me and kissed me on both cheeks.

As a young girl, I felt truly embarrassed and put up my hands to defend myself. His false

smile told me that he had lost face.

Later, I received a cassette from him in which he recorded his apology On hearing

that Colmbians were more likely to kiss others. I soon felt at ease.

19.一场误会
通常说来，口头表达是人们交流的主要方法，但是肢体语言和面部表情也有
这种功能。例如，打哈欠意味着不感兴趣，背对别人或向其挥舞拳头表达的是愤
怒。但是在不同的文化中那些手势表达的真正意思是很主观的。由此，误会就时
不时地发生在今天这个文化交叉碰撞的世界里。
有一回，我代表成人教育协会到机场去接一位从哥伦比亚来的高级官员，我
得带他到宿舍和食堂。当他的航班到达时，我看见一名男子好奇地东张西望，于
是走上前去和他打招呼。他突然猛冲过来拥抱我，还亲了我的脸颊。还是个年轻
姑娘的我感到真尴尬，不由自主举起手来保护自己。他的假笑告诉我他感到丢了
面子。
后来，我收到他送来的一盒磁带，里面录了他的道歉。当听到这只是因为哥
伦比亚人更倾向于见面时互相亲吻时，我很快就感到轻松安心了。

独一无二的主题公园

As soon as our shuttle got close to the theme park by the freeway, everyone came

to life and put on cloth sneakers in advance for an outing. Our translator paid for the

admission, and we started enjoying the various attractions in the sunlight.

According to the travel brochure, this unique park is famous for its well preserved

minority culture. We experienced many deeds of the early settlers, such as swinging

across rivers, hunting creatures in the jungle, or taking part in swords fighting

tournaments.

This park is also famous for its wooden souvenirs. Whichever we bought in the

central shop was made of wood, and wherever we went we could see minority

carpenters working. They made wooden tools, wooden cartoon figures, wooden

athletic products and so on. They even built a huge wooden engine with a length of 20

metres, which was modeled after a real one.

This theme park is really a fantasy amusement park. No wonder it has become the

brand of local tourism.

物啦，或者参加剑术比赛啦等等。
这个公园还因为它的木制纪念品而闻名，我们在中心商场购买的任何一件物
品，都是用木头制作的，无论我们走到哪里，都可以看见少数名族的木匠们在忙

When the construction of the firework factory came to the stage of painting, a

disease whose characteristic was alike to that of a bad bun.

An expert physician was instructed to attend to the victims and handle this case. He

was enthusiastic, but he didn't foresee that it was a hard challenge. After simple enguiry

he announced that the polluted paint was to blame. But without positive evidence

people suspected and rejected his view, saying the theory he put forward made no sense.

Being much more strict with himself he contributed himself to the case. Apart from

making enquiries, he made detailed charts and analysed the data cautiously. Finally, he

drew a scientific conclusion, linking the disease to the radium in the pump Exposed to

radium, a kind of radioactive material in the universe, people absorbed radiation and got

sick immediately.

Spinning the pump backward, he took away the radium. This simple movement

cured all the victims.

观光联合王国

After the wedding my cousin and his wife went to the United Kingdom for

nationwide sightseeing. He faxed a letter to me in English yesterday.To my delight， he

no longer made any tense error. And his description roughly clarified my questions

about the UK--its currency, its administration, the institution which divides it into

four provinces, and the historical conflicts and quarrels when Southern Ireland broke

away from the UK.

Unwilling to leave out any attraction, my cousin arranged his enjoyable journey

carefully. One attractive place he visited was a castle in the countryside of Scotland,

which lies near a port. It used to be the headquarters of the Communism Union but

broke down during the war. Finding nothing could take the place of this splendid

architecture, people accomplished rebuilding it in 1952. It was to their credit that all

furnished rooms are consistent with what they used to be. My cousin was thrilled by its

collections consisting of statues plus royal uniforms folded in glass tanks. Though there

was no possibility to buy some of these exhibits, it was convenient to take photos which

he sent me along with his fax.

我的表弟和他妻子在举办了婚礼后到联合王国做全国旅游观光去了。他昨天
传真了一封英文信给我，让我高兴的是，他再也不犯时态错误了，而且他的描述
也粗略地向我阐明了关于英国的一些问题--它的货币啦，行政管理啦，把它分成
四个行政区的制度啦，还有在南爱尔兰脱离联合王国时发生的一些历史上的冲突
和争拗。
因为不愿意漏掉任何一个景点，我表弟仔细地安排了他愉快的旅程。他参观
的其中一个吸引人的地方是苏格兰乡村的一个城堡城堡靠近一座港口，曾经是共
产主义联盟会的总部，但是在战争中倒塌了。人们发现没有任何东西可以取代这
座辉煌的建筑，于是在 1952 年完成了重建。值得赞扬的是，所有配备家具的房
间都和它们过去一致的。由雕像加折叠在玻璃柜里的皇家制服组成的收藏品使我
表弟震撼不已。尽管没有可能购买这些展览品，拍照却很方便，他在传真中一起
发给了我。
 23.An Air Crash
飞机失事
I was a previous typist in a post office. Because I couldn’t tolerate typing any

more postage bills or postcodes on a typewriter every day I resigned. With a greedy

motivation of making big money, I took up working as a business representative for the

G.E. Ecology Company which produced goods by recycling useful materials from our

dustbins. My new job left me good impressions in many aspects except that the working

timetable was full of traveling by jets.

Once, when speeding up, our jet was swallowed by a thunderstorm,which

destroyed our GPS receiver and made us lose sight of the directions. A constantly

flashing light showed that our jet was in danger. A steward instantly asked us to put on

masks and fasten the safety belts, and then pressed a button to switch on the escaping

capsule. It slid sideways out of the opening at once and landed in a desert area safely.

Lacking food and tablets, we were nervous and uncertain at first. But we all kept

optimistic and made good adjustment to the situation. We swept up the surrounding

 23.An Air Crash
I was a previous typist in a post office. Because I couldn’t tolerate typing any
more postage bills or postcodes on a typewriter every day I resigned. With a greedy
motivation of making big money, I took up working as a business representative for the
G.E. Ecology Company which produced goods by recycling useful materials from our
dustbins. My new job left me good impressions in many aspects except that the working
timetable was full of traveling by jets.
Once, when speeding up, our jet was swallowed by a thunderstorm,which
destroyed our GPS receiver and made us lose sight of the directions. A constantly
flashing light showed that our jet was in danger. A steward instantly asked us to put on
masks and fasten the safety belts, and then pressed a button to switch on the escaping
capsule. It slid sideways out of the opening at once and landed in a desert area safely.

23.飞机失事
我以前是一家邮局的打字员，因为忍受够了每天在打字机上打邮资账单或邮
政编码，我辞了职。带着想挣大钱的贪婪动机，我开始给一家叫 GE 生态公司的
企业当商务代表，这家公司通过回收我们垃圾箱里的有用材料生产商品。我的新
工作在多方面都给了我很好的印象，除了一点:乘飞机旅行挤满了我的工作时间表。
有一次，我们的喷气飞机在加速时被一场雷暴吞没，不仅损坏了 GPS 信号接
收器，还使我们看不见方向。一盏持续闪亮的灯说明我们的飞机正处在危险中。
一名乘务员立刻让我们戴上面罩、系牢安全带，接着按下一枚按钮打开逃生仓电
源，逃生仓马上侧着滑出出口，安全降落在一片荒凉的地区。因为缺少食品和药
品，我们一开始都又紧张又心里没底，但是我们都保持乐观，做好调整适应这一
新境况。我们打扫干净周围的泥土，安顿下来，很快就恢复过来。最后，在我们
坠机烟雾的指引下，一些当地的居民搭乘马车到来，我们都获救了。

业余记者

Jane is a housewife, but delighted to work as an amateur journalist It is a dilemma

for her to rush between family and work, and it is also unusual for the News

Department to depend on an amateur to cover crimes. But Jane is really gifted. It is

admirable that she is seldom accused of making mistakes. And, eager to become more

professional she concentrates on her job and updates herself now and then.

Once she is informed of a new case her normal working process is as follows: first,

she makes appointments with guilty people for interviews. So as to acquire accurate

stories. she usually demands to record what they say. Meanwhile, a technically good

colleague will assist her in taking photographs.Second, she assesses whether they are

deliberately hiding the truth. If she is skeptical about their words, she will look into the

case herself Third. She writes thorough stories ahead of the deadline and submits it to

the senior chief editor, who polishes and approves every section. Finally,her stories will

be published in different editions of their magazine.

 25. First Aid
急救

A boy fell ill. His organs were damaged by the radiation of an infrared ray stove.

But before the ambulance arrived, a number of other injuries happened to this unlucky

boy over and over again. First, he was choked by some poisonous liquid from the kettle

on the cupboard. Then his wrist skin was burnt by electric shock. Finally, his ankle was

cut by a pan.

Fortunately, the boy’s nurse gave him proper temporary treatments according to

his complex symptoms. She mildly squeezed the poisonous liquid out of his throat and

put bandages firmly in place to apply pressure to the ankle wound to stop bleeding. As

for the burn, she used scissors to remove his sleeve, poured a basin of cold water over

the bun to cool it and put her hands on a damp blouse to cover his swollen tissue tightly.

She also inspired his bravery to fight against the unbearable pain. Her first aid made a

vital difference in saving his life. A ceremony was held to honour the nurse who

overcame a variety of barriers to save the boy.

 26.Abstract Art
抽象艺术

Abstract art used to be controversial. On one hand, the artists stopped painting

delicate figures but attempted to adopt special techniques to give people different visual

impacts. On the other hand, their works, including sculptures carved out of marble or

fragile clay, were all with a specific aim of showing feelings. Some conventional scholars

who were allergic to abstract art said it was evidently ridiculous and neither at nor

geometry. Their Traditional Art Committee predicted its soon disappearing.

But nowadays, abstract at has become part of the permanent possessions of

contemporary civilization. Galleries along the Madison Avenue give scores of superb

exhibitions on typical abstract works, appealing to many who have a preference for

abstract art. The Shadow of Egypt, a café in this district, has become the home to those

aggressive abstract artists. Consequently, it is not a coincidence for you to meet one of

these artists of great reputation in the flesh. They are asked for signatures and given

bunches of fragrant flowers plus they are given a great deal of praise by their faithful fans.

26.抽象艺术
抽象艺术曾经颇受争议，一方面，抽象艺术家们不再画精致的画像而是试图
采用特别的技巧给人们以不同的视觉冲击;另一方面，他们的作品，包括用大理石
和易碎的粘土雕刻出来的雕像，都以表达感情为其明确的目的。有些对抽象艺术
反感的传统学者说抽象艺术是极其明显地荒谬可笑，说它既不是艺术，又不是几
何学，他们的传统艺术委员会还预言了它的迅速消失。
但是到了今天，抽象艺术已经成为当代文明永久财产的一部分，麦蒂逊大道
的画廊为典型的抽象艺术作品举办了许多出色的展览，吸引了许多对抽象艺术有
偏爱的人。这区有家叫埃及之影的咖啡馆已经成为那些有进取精神的抽象艺术家

 27.A Russian Poem
俄国童谣

Since childhood, Anton had often recited poems, accompanied by pianists and

violinists, at wedding ceremonies before brides and bridegrooms exchanged rings.

Gradually, he found writing poems the most appropriate way to convey his joy and

sorrow. When his poem Contradictory Blank won him a national championship and a

scholarship to the Moscow University from a sponsor, he was just an unknown librarian.

After getting his diploma he devoted his life to writing poems. Using concrete but

flexible language and the minimum of words is his style. He tried out different patterns

and preferred nursery rhyme in particular. The following is a translation of one of his

works made up of 3 sections:

Little sparrow with heavy load, Ran out of energy and very cold; No compass and

all sweat salty, Can you go through the endless darkness? Little balloon let out by the

thread. Flew over cottages and was very glad:With warmth transformed from sunlight.

He said he could forever fly; Take it easy, little balloon:Don't tease the sparrow with his

wound:On the bare branch and have a rest;This diamond heart will eventually get

success.

27.俄国童谣
从童年时起，安东就常常在钢琴师或小提琴师的伴奏下在婚礼上朗诵诗歌，
为新郎新娘交换戒指前的仪式助兴。渐渐地，他发现写诗是表达他的欢乐和悲伤
的最合适方式。在他还是个寂寞无闻的图书管理员时，他的诗《矛盾的空白》就
获得了全国诗歌创作冠军，并为他赢得一位赞助人提供的奖学金，到莫斯科大学
深造。获得文凭后，他将一生都投入到诗歌创作中。使用具体而灵活的语言和最
少的词语数量是他的风格，他还喜欢尝试不同的诗歌形式，特别是童谣。下面由
三部分组成的译文就是他的作品中的一首:
小麻雀，负重担， 小气球，脱绳系， 别紧张，小气球
筋疲力尽挡风寒， 飞越农舍真高兴， 别笑麻雀伤口留，
汗水成盐无指引， 阳光给予它温暖， 光光的树梢歇片刻，
能否穿越无边暗? 永远高飞不费力; 恒(钻石)心终 把成功求。
 28.Let's Help Adolescents
帮助青少年
Whether they are male or female, adolescents feel like deciding on everything

themselves in spite of parents’instruction, especially when they face problems like sex,

mental stress, etc., which make them feel ashamed and embarrassed. Thus they often

automatically get into troubles due to their imperfect comprehension and judgement.

Some are addicted to cigarettes, only several packets of which will hut their lungs and

make them breathless quickly. Others cant quit drinking alcohol, whose harmful effects

include causing young pregnant women to abort or give birth to abnormal babies. The

worst is drug abuse, for the withdrawal is tough once their bodies are accustomed to the

drugs. Meanwhile, those who share needles bought from illegal chemists are at great risk

of being infected with desperate AIDS. If so, neither injecting nor taking pills can

guarantee their survival.

However, don't be disappointed at or have prejudice against our children so easily.

After all being awkward is an appendix of youth. As long as we strengthen

communication with them instead of only banning this or banning that we will surely

help them avoid anything unfit.

28.帮助青少年
不论男女，青少年们都喜欢不顾家长的指导，自己对一切作决定，特别是当
他们面对如性、心理压力等等一些使他们觉得羞愧和尴尬的问题时更是如此。因
此，由于他们理解力和判断力的不足，他们常常会无意识地陷入困境中。有的对
香烟上瘾，只要几包就会对他们的肺造成损害，使他们很容易就气喘吁吁:有的没
法戒除酒精带来的不良后果，包括造成年轻的怀孕女性流产或生下不正常的婴儿:
最糟糕的是滥用毒品，厌为一旦他们的身体对毒品习惯了，要想戒毒就相当困难
了。同时，那些共用从非法药剂师处购买的注射器的青少年冒着感染令人绝望的
艾滋病的极大风险，一旦感染上，不管是打针还是吃药都没法保证他们的生存了。
然而，请不要轻易就对我们的孩子失望或抱有偏见，毕竟，不成熟是年轻的
必然附属品。只要我们加强和他们的沟通，而不是仅仅禁止这样。不准那样，我
们一定能帮助他们避开不健康的东西。
 29. Refresh Our Environment
恢复环境生机

As the director stated on behalf of his researching group, the data of this graph

makes a clear presentation of the future environmental tendency. On one hand.the

quantity of fuel keeps on decreasing by 9% per year while the growth of a wide range of

pollution has been a global trend. On the other hand, the mildly but steadily going up of

the average temperature is resulting in catastrophes like widespread floods. Without

disagreement, they subscribe to the view that it is humans’ existence and their

randomly consuming energy that result in this phenomenon.

Many people have a commitment that developing nuclear power or energy from

outer space will stop bad consequences coming about. However scientists and educators

are opposed to this view even if our needs may be met on the whole. They tend to

advocate refreshing our circumstances by saving energy and recycling waste. It is

suggested that we use energy-saving appliances such as electrical motors, microwaves

and so on and not be casual about little things like recycling a can. So please glance

around and see what you can do. So long as everybody makes contribution, we will not

have to put up with this problem anymore.

 30. A Volcano Eruption
火山爆发
As the best candidate, I was appointed to collect and evaluate information for a

database about diverse natural disasters, such as hurricanes, typhoons or thunderstorms.

Sometimes I did this by giving out questionnaires to those who went through them. But

sometimes, I had to go through actual disasters myself. The Musaki Volcano was one of

them.

At that time I lived in a bungalow alongside the volcano with a novelist who came

for the appreciation of its eruption. One day when I was drawing diagrams on the

balcony and he was bathing inside, the volcano erupted unexpectedly. The ash and lava

fountains shooting highly in the sky varied from 50 to 100 meters in height. It was

absolutely fantastic! I even noticed a rainbow appear in the fog caused by a heat wave.

But glancing through our surroundings I foresaw the potential danger and found

no guarantee of our safety. The uncomfortable gas almost made us unconscious. Sweats

of anxiety began to drop. Managing to stop panicking and trembling, we quickly put on

our protective suits, helmets and boots and eventually made our way to a safe place.

How lucky we were even though my precious equipment and documents were all burnt

to the ground!

wound in its lip caused by a shark, this grey seal was washed upside down by the tides

time after time. But it tried to jog Mark as if to urge him to help it. So Mark abandoned

fleeing away. With its teamwork, Mark used a net to drag the seal to the shallow water

Without pausing he helped it out after a simple operation and settled it in a narrow cave

by the seaside. Every time he brought it tasty fish it would well and suck his hands

happily. Witnesses said their anecdotes reflected a magic dimension of the relationship

 33. Mark and a Seal
Mark rented an accommodation with his pension near the shore. He paid annual
visits there to enjoy the vivid beauty in the depths of the pure sea.
Once,with his underwater telescope and flashlight. Mark dived along the boundary
between the steep reef and the area of seaweed conservation. Suddenly an awesome

33. 马克和海豹
马克用他的退休金在海岸边租了一间住所，每年都去那儿欣赏纯净的大海深
处那生动的美丽。
有一次，马克带着他的水下望远镜和手电筒，潜到陡峭的暗礁和海草保护区
间的分界线。突然，一只长着尖利牙齿使人畏惧的南极海豹出现在他对面。马克
吓坏了，但是很快，他就意识到，他不是攻击的目标。这只灰色海豹的唇上有道
鲨鱼咬出的整齐伤口，还时不时地被潮水冲得头上脚下。尽管如此，它却总是努
力轻轻碰撞马克，似乎在催促他帮助它。于是马克放弃了逃跑。在这只海豹的合
作下，马克用一张网把它拖到浅水区并毫不停歇给它动了一个简单的手术，帮助
它解决了问题，然后将它安置在海边一个狭窄的洞里。每次当马克给它带来鲜美
可口的鱼时，它就会高兴地大声叫唤，还吮吸他的手。目击者都说他们的轶事映
射出人与动物关系中奇妙的一个方面。
 34. Helping the Remote Village
援助山村
A year ago, the famous astronaut received an invitation by airmail from a remote

village. Intending to sniff some fresh air he and his interpreter paid a fortnight visit there.

It was a privilege for them to be there but they were shocked by what they saw The

tracks were muddy. The river was drying up. Most villagers only possessed one broom, a

few tins and several jars and their rectangular grass huts with round angles were

surrounded by weeds. Besides, their school had no roof and platform, and the students

had no concept of clicking a computer at all. They were badly in need.

Soon, the astronaut made a generous voluntary donation to the village There were

textbooks for students sewing machines for tailors and tractors for farmers. His

distribution catalogue also included operating a clinic and a trunk library as well as

giving weekly lessons to teach relevant farming knowledge like how to dry out seeds or

raise oxen. He himself not only helped do some paperwork but also purchased grills for

boys to toast potatoes and combs for girls who were dying to get one. The other day, he

heard from the villagers again inviting him to participate in the donation anniversary.

For political and security reasons, he couldn’t adjust his outgoing

arrangement-otherwise he would go. But his deeds were remembered forever.

民拥有的财产只不过是一只扫帚、几个瓶瓶罐罐而已，圆角的矩形草屋四周长满
了杂草，学校也没有屋顶和讲台，学生们更对点击操作电脑毫无概念。他们生活
确实相当困难。
很快，宇航员就向村庄做了慷慨的自愿捐赠。捐赠品中有给学生的课本，给
裁缝的缝纫机，还有给农民的拖拉机。捐赠金的分配目录中还包括一间诊所和一
间书箱图书馆的运作，并有传授像怎么使种子干透，或者怎么养牛这种相关农业
知识的每周课程。他自己不仅亲自帮助做一些文书工作，还给男孩子们购买了烤
马铃薯的烤架、给渴望得到梳子的女孩子们买了梳子。前几天，他又收到了村民
们邀请他参加捐赠周年会的来信。出于政治和安全原因，他无法调整外出时间安

Nannan’s father runs an enterprise near the Ming Tombs selling batteries and drill

to the Daqing Oilfield. Hoping to get the qualification to help govern it, Nannan made

much preparation and then left her motherland with her visa to study in America

Having reached her destination, she settled in an inn recommended by the travel agent.

As far as Nannan was concerned, she always kept it up in China. But she had to

acknowledge it was not easy to adjust herself to the new academic requirements, which

were not parallel with China's. Though she was occupied with lectures and seminars day

in and day out, the essays she drafted were still contradicted by her tutors. As for her

routine life, she felt that it was hard to fit in, too. For example, she found English idioms

difficult to understand. And it was out of the question to eat delicious Chinese foods

though many optional cafeterias served abundant substitutes. In addition, she had to wait

in a queue early for the minibus that took her to school and it was usually so cold that

she felt numb. What bothered her most was that she received no apology when her

sleeping was disturbed by a barking dog in a shopkeeper’s cage.

Luckily, with her parents comforting her by videophone, she became autonomous

soon and eventually got her bachelor’s degree successfully.

Attracted by the boom in America, my nephew teamed up with a Korean to

illegally cross the Bearing Strait in the Arctic to America. To avoid the Customs’

punishment, they hid in a small ferry called the North Pole Seagull, sitting back to back

without sleeping, showering and shaving for 3 days and had no chance to mourn their

lost luggage when landing. The hardship of this crossing was apparent.

At first he made a living by means of raising cattle and then was hired in aircraft

industries. He lived in a Catholic district. Taking in a small percentage of Pakistani

immigrants the majority of the residents were from Italy and Denmark, who all kept up

their customs and cultures. Different blocks here were distinctly marked out and

indicated from the racial angle. It was unfair and needed reforming. But with nowhere

else to go. my nephew lived on and managed to make a life for himself.

My nephews fortune came when he bravely helped a conductor brake a ream to

stop it from slipping out of the rails. The man was elected vice chairman of the Socialist

Party later. It occurred to my nephew that he could grasp this opportunity to ask for his

help. The man who was thankful helped him apply to the civil authority for the right to

live in America by inserting his brave deed into his documents. Unlike a great many

other applicants, his application was approved by the Federal Justice Ministry. Before

 37.Be Careful about Cloning
谨慎对待克隆
After a series of initial experiments and corrections, the scientists hard work paid off

when the twin clone turkeys were hatched with normal feather and claws. This

breakthrough possibly enabled people to bring their adored pets back to life. However,

it bothered him from time to time that their health was in poor condition because they

were unable to resist illnesses. This drawback cast him down. Merely 2 weeks later, the

clones and their carrier died, which struck frustration into his heart. He retired before he

attained his ambition and became a member of an opera chorus to relieve his depression.

Shortly afterwards, the media published a conservative argument objecting to

cloning owing to moral problems, and suggested the constitution include compulsory

regulations to forbid obtaining commercial profits from cloning.

When interviewed, the scientist stared at the decorations on the ceiling, thinking

for a while,and then said."I'm not in favour of any arbitrary assumption but undertaking

cloning does differ from the straightforward procedure of making loafs out of flour.

Until we accumulate enough exact knowledge, any practice is in vain and is bound to

fail. Altogether, being more careful is reasonable or we may walk to a side road."

并选择加入歌剧合唱团来减轻消沉的感觉。
之后不久，媒体就因为道德问题而发表了反对克隆的保守论点，并且建议宪
法应该包括强制性的法规禁止通过克隆获得商业利益。

奇怪的专利申请
I set about working in the current Patent Office after resigning from the court

personnel. Competent and dynamic. I never feel passive while diving into the

identifications of whether applications are valid and practical according to the new

version of the criteria.

With the expectation of distinguishing their own importance, some people leave

the beaten track and file strange products with us now and then, for example, lantern

that can be attached on your forehead, cubic walnuts, refrigerator made of straw and

glue perfume that nobody can bear to smell, and soon.

Once, a man made a triangle helicopter out of stainless wires and string. He called

us up and merrily claimed it was stable and convenient to use, and never out of order,

asked him to hang on, but this innocent man just rang off and set out to fly from his

courtyard. I dialed his number in the directory trying to ring him back but never got

through.

Merciful God blessing, an abrupt freezing rainfall made his powder wet. Luckily

the trouble was without any extension except that he crashed into a greengrocer’s

making all the ripe fruits become messy jam. When people seized this crazy man with

caution and sobered him by tapping his face, he complained about the bad weather

instead of associating his failure with his unscientific design.

woolen vest and stockings, especially her classic pronunciation, all suggested her upper

status."The ambassador gave a whistle in amazement, and advised making her

acquaintance. The professor hesitated for a while, then compromised.

The outcome was that she was an authentic superior police officer. When they

were shown in her office and saw her once more, she brought them a teapot of tea and

some cookies, laughing and saving, rubbed some cream and wax on my garment and

passed myself off as a shabby woman among thieves and robbers to investigate a plot.

Generally speaking, your overlooking me and my adaptation are the best help. But

子相册里删除的照片，照片表明，他们曾经有过快乐的生活，但是，因为厌烦了
