Passage 1
　　There was once a man in South America who had a parrot (鹦鹉)， a pet bird that could imitate (模拟)human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no other bird like him in the while world. He could lean to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town, Cotano. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say “Cotano” but he never succeeded. At first he was very gentle with the bird, but gradually he lost his temper. “You stupid bird! Why can’t you learn to say that one word! Say Cotano or I’ll like you!”  But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed (大声叫)，“Say Cotano or I’ll kill you!” But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. “You are even more stupid than the chickens!”
　　In the chicken house, there were four old chickens waiting to be killed for Sunday’s dinner. The next morning, when he went out to the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens, the parrot was screaming at the fourth, “Say Catano or I’ll kill you!”.
　　曾经在南美洲有一个人有一只鹦鹉，一直可以模拟人生说话的宠物鸟。这只鹦鹉很特别。这个世界上没有像他一样的鸟儿。他可以学任何除了一个。他不会说他家乡的名字“Cotano”。这个人做了他能做的一切事去教他说“Cotano”但是他从未成功过。 起初，他对这只鸟很温柔，但是慢慢地就失去了耐心：“你这只笨鸟！为什么你就不会说“Cotano”？ 快说 “Cotano”，否则我宰了你！”但是鹦鹉就是不说。男人大声嘶叫很多次快说“Cotano，否则我宰了你！”
　　但是鸟儿就是不说。 那个人最后放弃了。 他抓起鹦鹉，扔到鸡舍。“你比鸡还笨！”
　　在鸡舍里，有四只老鸡将被宰杀，成为周日的晚餐。 次日早上，当他走到鸡舍，打开鸡舍门，他被所看到的震惊了。 他无法相信自己的眼睛和耳朵。地上躺着三只死鸡，鹦鹉朝第四只尖叫道：“快说 Cotano”,否则我宰了你！”

Passage  2
There was once an ant that was very thirsty.
It ran here and there looking for some water but could not find any.
Then suddenly, when the ant was almost ready to die of thirst, a large drop of water fell on it.
The ant drank the water, which saved its life.
The water was actually a tear from a young girl who was crying. Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings.
The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds.
"Why are you sad?" asked the ant.
"I'm the prisoner of a giant." the girl told the ant. "He won't let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain, barley（大麦）and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together."
"That will take you a month!" the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds.
"I know," the girl cried, "and if I haven't finished by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!"
"Don't cry," the ant said, "my friends and I will help you."
Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.
The next morning, when the giant saw that the work had been done, he let the girl go. 
有只蚂蚁口渴了.
它到处找水喝, 可就是找不着.
突然, 就在蚂蚁快要渴死的时候, 一大滴水落了下来.
蚂蚁喝了水, 得了救.
这滴水实际上是一个正在哭泣的年轻姑娘的泪水.
蚂蚁抬起头, 看见一个年轻姑娘正坐在一大堆种子前.
" 你为什么这么伤心啊?"蚂蚁问道.
" 我是一个巨人的囚犯,"姑娘告诉蚂蚁,"这大堆种子里夹杂有谷子, 大麦和黑麦的种子, 我只有把它们分开, 拣成三堆, 他才肯放我走."
" 这需要你一个月的时间呢!"蚂蚁看了看这大堆的种子说道.
" 我知道,"姑娘哭着说,"如果我明天还分不完, 巨人就会把我当他的晚餐吃掉!"
" 不要哭,"蚂蚁说,"我和我的朋友会帮助你的."
很快, 成千上万只蚂蚁忙碌起来, 将这些种子按分类分成三堆.
第二天早晨, 巨人看到分派给姑娘的活儿干完了, 就把她给放了.
就这样, 正是那个姑娘的一滴泪救了她自己的性命.

Passage  3
　　In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do i know when i found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠）.
　　A good friend, above all else, tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead , he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and the tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener. 
　　At the same time, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me. 
　　Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time. I can be sure that he will be there. If i need a favor, he will also do his best to help me. If i am in trouble, he will not run away from me. 
　　When i meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding. I know I’ve found a friend. 
　　一个人在选择朋友时，必须得小心。一个好朋友能帮助你学习。 你们在一起会很开心， 彼此都很快乐。 有时候，你会遇见一些酒肉朋友。他们在你有钱或走运的时候和你在一起，但是当你遭遇不幸的时候，他们就会溜走。那么我怎么知道我找到了一个好朋友呢？我主要是寻找一些品质特征，尤其是理解、诚实、可靠这些品质。
　　一个号朋友首先会倾心理解另一个人的感受。 他不会立刻给出判断。 相反，他会从别人那里感受到东西，他会置身于别人的位置， 尽力想出有用的办法。 同时，他也是一个好的倾听者。
　　与此同时，一个好朋友是诚实的。 他不会寻找别人的缺点。他会注意到别人的优点。总之，这个朋友会尽力理解我，接受我。
　　好朋友的另一个品质是可靠。我总是依赖我的好朋友。 如果他告诉我他再某个时间、某个地点会和见面，我敢保证他就在那里。如果我需要帮助，他会尽他所能来帮助我。如果我有麻烦，他不会离我而去。
　　当我遇见一个可靠、诚实、理解的人时，我知道我找到了一个好朋友！

Passage  4
　　No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn’t worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all in its pain.
　　Long ago, operation has usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. Sooner after 1770, Joseph Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”. Laughing as became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn’t seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.
　　Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well’s teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. 
　　As he didn’t know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.
　　Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event. 
　　没有人愿意听见自己的身体被外科医生割开并切除某些部分。但是现在，我们在做手术期间不用担心感到疼痛。病人陷入睡眠中，当他醒来时手术已经结束了。但是这种令人愉悦的方式是相当新奇的。 就在不久前一个人在做手术时还会觉得疼。
　　很久以前，手术都是在病人完全清醒的时候做的。在1770过后不久，约瑟夫. 普利斯特发现了一种气体现在被称作“令人笑的气”。 笑气被美国人知道了。年轻人们都去舞会上体验这种气体。他们大部分人都哈哈大笑，但是一次一个宴会上的人，霍尔斯.威尔士发现当人们使用这种气体的时候就不会感觉到疼痛。他决定在自己身上做个试验。他邀请了一位朋友帮他。 
　　威尔士取出一些气体，然后他的朋友拔出他的一颗牙。威尔士一点也没有感觉到痛。
　　因为他对笑气了解不多，他在另一个人身上试验时，用的笑气的量小于应用的量， 所以当这个人的牙齿被拔出时，他痛苦的大喊大叫。
　　威尔士又试了一次，但是这次他用的笑气的量太多，导致这个人死了威尔士永远也忘不了这个可怕的经历。

Passage  5
Mr. White lived in a small village. His parents hadn't enough money to send him to school. He had to help them to do something in the fields. But he didn't like to live in the poor place. When he was sixteen, he got to the town and found work in a factory. Three years later he became tall and strong. So he was sent to Africa as a soldier. He stayed there for five years and got some money. Then he came back to England and bought a shop in a small town. No people in the town went to Africa except him. And he hoped they thought he was a famous man and that they could respect him. The children often asked him to tell them some stories and his life in Africa.
One day a few children asked him to tell them something about the animals in Africa. He told them how he fought with the tigers and elephants. His stories surprised them all and some policemen and workers went to listen to him. It made him happier. Just a man who taught geography in a middle school passed there. He stopped to listen to him for a while and then said, "Could you please tell us a rare animal, sir?"
"Certainly," said Mr. Turner. "One day I met a rhinoceros（犀牛） by a river…"
"Please wait a minute, sir," said the man. "There aren't any rhinoceros in Africa at all!"
"It's rare just because there aren't any!"

Passage  6
　　If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousands of kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.
    However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?
　　If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It will not rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhaps the climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in the world. That is why we must take care of our forests. 
　　如果你乘飞机穿越非洲或是南美洲的中部，你就可以飞越延绵不绝的森林。这些大森林是树的海洋，里面生长了成千上万种动植物。
　　但是，一直以来，世界上的森林却在不断减少。因为我们需要木材，因为我们需要更多的农田，所以我们砍掉了一棵又一棵的树。有些人说20或是30年后将不再有森林了。如果森林消失了，将会发生什么呢？
　　如果我们砍掉了我们的森林，大量的动植物就会从这个世界上消失。很多地方很快就会沙化看起来像是沙漠。庄稼也长不起来。降雨也会变少，天气会变得异常炎热。或许世界气候自此就变了。这对世界上的每个人来说都是威胁。那就是为什么我们要保护好我们的森林。

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.

Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and fiends.

Passage  11
A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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。
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。
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。
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。
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。

　　Three man traveling on a train began a conversation about the world’s greatest wonders.
　　“In my opinion,” the first man said, “the Egyptian pyramids” are the world’s greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.”
　　“ I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful,” the second man said,” But I don’t think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They are taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds, they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do.”
　　He turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in world?”

　　The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos?” they exclaimed. “But that’s a simple thing.”

When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you can’t dive too deep. And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water. 
　　The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It is cold, and it is dark, too. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is. About 3000 feet, there is no light at all. It is very dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side. 
　　Besides, the coldness and the darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger-other animals.
　　Animals eat! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. However, some animals eat meat. This means these sea animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food, and they have to try not to become other animal’s meal.

Passage 14
　　Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.
　　In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them become ministers or teachers.
　　In 1782, Harvard stared a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later lawyers could receive their training in Harvard’s low school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Havard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history. 
　　As knowledge increased, Havard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interests them.
　　Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There’s so much to learn that one kind of school can’t offer it all. 
　　哈佛大学是美国最古老的一所大学，它建于1636年。耶鲁，普林斯顿等大学也随之迅速创建起来了。它们都创办于美国革命之前。
　　早期，这些学校有很所相似之处。只有年轻男子上大学。所有学生都学相同的客户且每个人都必须学习拉丁语和希腊语。鲜少有关科学的知识， 也没有人意识到一所学习可以交给学生世界上所有的知识。当这些学生毕业之后，大部分就成为了教师。
　　1782年， 哈佛建立了医学院，服务于想成为医生的学生。之后，律师可以在哈佛大学法学院接受培训。1825年，哈佛开始教授现代语言如法语和德语，与拉丁语和希腊语并重。 很快，哈佛又开设了美国历史这门课程。
　　随着知识的增长吗，哈佛大学和其他大学相机开设了多门课程。学生可以选择他们感兴趣的课程学习。
　　现在，不同性质的大学与学员普遍存在。大部分学校划分成了不同的小学院，以便特殊专业的教学。现在有如此多的知识需要学习以至于一个单一的学院根本满足不了这类需求。

Passage 1 （如何发明单词/文字）
　　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？

Passage 2 （科学家）
	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.
12. “The scientist, however, goes one step further…”. The author says this to show _______.

   C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people科学家与普通人的区别

   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

Passage 7(美国及美国人的由来)
　　The United States covers a large part of the North American continent. Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the United States is a big country , it is not the largest in the world. In 2000, its population was over 222 million.
　　When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star. All these were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii. 
　　Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern of North America were mostly from England. It is for the reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than those of any other country in the world.
　　美国占去北美大陆很大一部分土地。它北邻加拿大，南接墨西哥。虽然美国是一个大国，但它不是世界上最大的。在2000年，它的人口超过2.22亿。
　　这片土地刚从英国独立出来，第一次成为一个国家的时候，只有十三个州， 每个州在美国国旗上由一颗星米代表。这些州都是在东部。当这个国家不断向西扩大，就增加了新的州， 同时它们也出现在国旗上。很长一段时间，美国有48个州， 可是到1959年，国旗上有多了2颗星， 分别代表阿拉斯加和夏威夷。
　　印第安人是如今叫做美国的这块土地上的最初的居民。现在在各国各地仍然居住着许多这些原始居民的后裔。有时人们说印第安人才是“真正的美国人”。不过， 大部分美国人是来自世界各地。那些最早大批来到北美东海岸建立家园的人大部分来自英格兰，也是由于这个原因，美国的国语为英语，而它的文化习俗也与英国的更为相像。

Many residents said that they were tired of telephoning the agent and tired of complaining about the flats. Although the agent was responsible for the flats, they thought that he didn’t do enough. Therefore John was asked to write to the agent and say that they were disappointed with the management of the flats. 
　　The next service payment was due at the end of the month. However, they agreed not to pay it until they were happy with the plans to improve the property. They decided to tell the agent that he must start the work within one month. They all went away very pleased with themselves.

Passage 9（集邮）
　　When I was a little girl, my brothers and i collected stamps for many years. My mother didn’t use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our house on Saturdays and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were issued(发行).
　　On the day of World Cup football final in London in 1996, we were very excited because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having lunch, my mother told us to go to the post office straight way after the match if England won,  but she didn’t tell us why. At 2 O’clock my mother went back to work as usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although she wasn’t watching the match, she was listening to it on the readio.
　　England won 4：2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in, my mother was standing behind the counter. She was waiting to sell us a very special limited edition with ENGLAND WINNDERS on eah stamp. We were over the moon.
　　We still have it today, and perhaps it is worth a lot of money.
　　当我还是个小女孩， 我的哥哥们和我收集邮票多年。 我母亲通常周一至周五不工作，但周六在我们家附近的邮局上班。而且只要一发行最新的邮票，她就把它们都带回家。
　　1966年伦敦世界杯足球决赛那一天， 我们都非常兴奋， 因为在决赛中英格兰队对阵西德队。 吃午饭时，母亲告诉我们比赛后如果英格兰队获胜就直接去邮局， 但她没告诉我们为什么。两点整母亲像往常一样去上班，而家里其他成员都在电视上收看比赛。母亲虽然没有看，但是她从收音机里收听了比赛。
　　英格兰队以4比2获胜，于是我和哥哥就跑去邮局。 当我们跑进去时， 母亲正站在柜台后面。她正等着卖给我们特别限量版的邮票，每一枚邮票上都印着“英格兰获胜”的字样。 我们欣喜若狂。
　　我们直到今天还一直保存着它，或许现在她很值钱了。

Passage 10 （约翰和维多利亚）
     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)
     有个家庭，他们有属于自己的大而漂亮的房子，可是他们太喜欢租来的家具了以至于他们决定继续租用而不买新的家具。但是人们通常不喜欢告诉别人这些。租家具的想法还是很新的，他们不能确定邻居们对此会怎么想。

Passage 11  （美国文化特点）
	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

Passage 13 （羞怯不快乐原因）
　　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。

Passage 14 （美国打电话）
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 p.m. 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 U.S.A. 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 U.S. 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 15 （目标有三种）
     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 ____________.
         如果我们能完成各个短期目标，那么我们的长期目标将意义深远。

Passage 16（在伦敦工作）
	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。
6. Which of the following statements is NOT true? 下列哪个陈述是不对的？
  A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.
　B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country. 
　　所有在伦敦工作的人都喜欢住在伦敦市郊
  C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.
  D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.
7. With the same money needed for _______, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.
   用同样的钱_______,他可以在乡村买到一套有花园的小房子。
  A. getting a small flat with a garden			B. having a small flat with a garden
　C. renting a small flat without a garden	租一套没有花园的小公寓	
　D. buying a small flat without a garden

Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect —21— the "quality" of the product and on how well it sells, because "consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products, ” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers' feeling for packaging, noticed.”
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human —22— quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green，’ today can keep food prices —23— . Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That's —24— the round yellow M signs of McDonald's are inviting to both young and old.

议论文, 本部分分为2个题目, 可以直接背范文, 也可以套用万能模板表达 看法.
★  Honesty is the Best Policy （诚实乃上策）
　　There is an English proverb which says “honesty is the best policy.” It tells us the important of honesty. What’s the meaning of this saying? In my opinion, it means if you are honest to others, they will be honest to you. But if you lie to others, they will lie to you in return. For example, if you always lie to your friends, then you will have a habit of telling lies. When one day they know the truth, they will not trust you any longer. And you will lose all your friends in a near future.
★  Money is Not Everything （驳金钱万能论）
　　Nowadays, some people think that money is everything. They think money is the most important thing in the world. They believe that they can get anything with money. But I don’t think so. Although money can buy a lot of things we need, there are a lot of wonderful things in the world that can’t be bought with money. For example, knowledge can’t be bought with money. One can’t be rich in knowledge unless he/she studies hard. And as everybody knows, time can’t bought with money, either. No one can turn the wheel of time backwards. Once it goes by, it will never come back.

Dear Teacher,
　　Thanks for reading my asking for a sick leave. I went home by bike after school yesterday. Unfortunately, I fell from my bike and got injured badly. Then, I was sent to hospital by a kind-hearted citizen in time. And the doctor suggested I stay in bed for three days and have a good rest in order to make my injury recover quickly. Therefore, please allow me to be absent from class. And after three days, I would go to school. 
　　Yours sincerely
　　Zhang Lin
★ 假如你叫李华， 你的同学正在开展一场讨论，主题是学生要不要参加体育锻炼。
Dear Editor,
　　I’m writing to tell you about a discussion we’ve had about whether the students should take physical exercise. 
　　60% of the students think they should take all kinds of exercise every day, such as doing morning exercise, playing table tennis and playing basketball, but not spend too much time on them. Exercise builds their body and reduces lots of diseases. 
　　On the other hand, 40% of the students believe taking exercise is a waste of time and it makes people feel tired. After having sports, they are too excited to study and it’s possible to be hurt in sports. 
　　Yours sincerely
　　Li Hua



1 电视广告的优缺点 ，介绍你喜欢的电视广告。
Advertisement is very common in our life. I have a preference for it. It is funny and helps us a lot. Every time when I open TV or go outside, I can see various advertisements. They tell me the information that people concerned lately. So, I have to go to school every day, but I still know which kind of goods are the most popular. It provides a choice for me who have no idea about goods. And it is interesting, not boring at all.

Is your job doing harm to your health? If you are like a lot of American workers today, you experience a significant amount of stress in work. Stress doesn't just make you unhappy at work. It can affect your health. Doctors say people under stress have higher blood pressure, even when they are away from work. And they are at a higher risk for death from any cause than those who are more relaxed. 
How do you know if your job could be a risk to your health? Some danger signs include difficulty getting to sleep or difficulty waking up in the morning, forgetfulness, aches and pains for no apparent reason, a desire to eat less or tendency to eat poorly, loss of interest in activities, etc. Everyone has bad days in which they feel many of these symptoms, but if you have noticed several of them, and you have experienced them for months, you may need to do something. 
If you notice these signs in yourself or your loved one, check with your doctor to eliminate other possibilities. If the cause does appear to be stress, experts say you should try to make time for yourself away from work. Try relaxing in a warm bubble bath, listening to music and shutting out the world for a while.

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?
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.
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.
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-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.
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. 

1.What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” (Para. 1)__________

Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.

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 pm. 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 U.S.A. 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 U.S. 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.

The undersea world is very beautiful. Now more and more people want to dive in the water to find the secrets there. Scuba（戴水肺） diving is a new sport today. It can take you into a wonderful undersea world.
You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are like a school bus. Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth.
During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you can't dive too deep. And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water.
The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It is cold, and it is dark, too. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is. At about 3,000 feet, there is no light at all. It is very dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side.
Besides the coldness and the darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger - other animals.
Animals eat! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. However, some animals eat meat. This means these sea animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food, and they have to try not to become other animals' meal.

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.
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 munch 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.
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.
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.
11.Our long-term goals mean a lot _______.
A.if we cannot reach solid short-term goals

The word "horsepower" was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the world's first widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power.
Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.
He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air on one minute. His engine could lift a 33-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.
Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.

Newspapers, along with reporting the news, educate, entertain, and give opinions. An important way of reading a large, big-city newspaper is to put it into different sections. Can you find these separate sections: world news, national and local news, sports, business, entertainment, opinions, ads? Does your newspaper have other sections? 
News stories give facts, not the reporters' opinions. Some newspaper editorials (社论) come out with the writer's name, but many newspapers only carry editorials without putting the writers' names on. 
You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper. For example, you can expect headlines (新闻标题) to leave out unnecessary words. You can expect to find the most important facts in the lead paragraph (the first paragraph) of a news story. You can expect important news items to be on the front page. You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages. 
Most of all, the more you know about news of the present time, the more you will understand what is in the newspaper. Important stories are generally presented one day and followed up on following days. So, an important way to read newspapers is reading one frequently.

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 makes 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 answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
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 his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and 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.

In the USA, there are many types of restaurants. Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. You look at a menu above the counter, and say what you'd like to eat. You pay the person who serves you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There's no need to leave a tip.
In a coffee shop you sit at the counter or at a table. You don't wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you'd like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier as you leave. 
In a family restaurant the atmosphere is casual, but the waitress shows you where to sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don't need to tell her yours. If you don't eat everything, your waitress gives you a doggy bag to take your food home. You add an extra fifteen percent to the bill as a tip.
In top class restaurants, you need a reservation and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine, he may ask you to taste it.

Everyone knows what a needle is. Of course there are needles for sewing machines, needles for injection, you nameit. But few people think of the wonder a needle works in the hands of those who practice acupuncture.
During the past ten years of so, I have been suffering from a terrible headache. It seems to be getting from bad to worsethese days. Last night I got a sudden pain in my head. It was so terrible that I could hardly bear it. Although I swallowed all kinds of pain-killers, I didn't feel any better. It seemed that there was nothing I could do but phone for a doctor.
One of our neighbors happened to be with us. He was not a doctor, but he timidly offered his help, saying "Do you mind if I tried acupuncture on you? These needles may possibly do you some good."I agreed. In a moment, he had taken out a few needles from his purse. Without a moment's delay, he fixed a few needles into the skin on my head here and there. Before long, I felt thoroughly relieved.
Just then, the doctor sped through my house and said,"Where is our patient?" 
"Sorry, Doctor, You are too late. It's killed!" I answered in delight.
It's a miracle, isn't it?

6.The word ''name'' in the first paragraph means to give a name to the needles.

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.
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 munch 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.
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.
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.
11.Our long-term goals mean a lot _______.

Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham（火腿）? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, "We come from Hamburg." One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called "hamburgers". Today "hamburgers" are sold in many countries around the world.
Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.

Jessie lived in the country, but one year she decided to visit the capital city to do some shopping and to see the sights. She stayed at a hotel near the central market. She had seldom been to the city before, and was very excited about what she would find. On the first morning of her visit, as she walked from the hotel to the market, she passed a beggar.
He was holding up a notice which said, “Blind from birth. Please give generously.”
Jessie felt sorry for the blind beggar and she bent down and put a dollar coin into his bowl.
“Thank you,” he said.
On the third day, however, Jessie did not have a dollar coin. She had only fifty cents, so she dropped this into the beggar's bowl.
“What have I done wrong?” the beggar said, “Why are you so stingy (吝啬) today?” Jessie was very surprised by what the beggar said.
“How do you know I haven't given you a dollar?” she said “If you are blind,you can't know what coin I put into your bowl.”
“Ah,” explained the beggar,“ the truth is I'm not blind. I'm just looking after this place for the regular beggar while he's on holiday.”
“On holiday!” Jessie exclaimed. “And what exactly does your blind friend do on holiday?”

我的英语学习 My English Study

I have studied English for more than ten years. The main purpose of learning a foreign language is for education and exams. Although I use English sometimes in my work, I am not a skillful English user. I dream someday I can use it to express my thought freely.

With regard to English study, I believe we should learn English for practical purpose. Many learners focus on reading. In my point of view, we ought to pay more attention to English speaking and writing, that is, English language output. We used to concentrate on English input-listening and reading.


When we are learning a foreign language, it is important to remember that we should not be afraid of making mistakes and losing face. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing. It is equally critical to have drive or motivation to learn a language. Set a realistic goal and try to work hard to achieve it and you will surprisingly find that your English is developing step by step.

To improve our English learning, we need to do a lot of listening and reading. With a lot of input, we can learn some words and expression. After we have got some English knowledge, we then play with the language. In other words, we are learning a foreign language by using it.

I will try my very best to make myself successful English language learner. 

英语的重要性


English is one of the languages which are widely used in the world. The international community has become a global village. English use is popular in China as a result of reform and opening-up policy. English is used in education, economy, entertainment and many other fields.
 

It is necessary for us to study English. With the help of a foreign language, we can get a better understanding of a foreign country and its culture. Knowing something new helps us develop our openness and tolerance.


Learning English is helpful for our personal development. Speaking English fluently and skillfully can build our confidence. It can become an advantage in our work. Job-hunters with an English certificate are more desirable for the potential employers.


When we travel in a foreign country, we can even communicate with the local people without translator. This will add a lot of pleasure to your tour. You can even talk with the people in some non-English speaking countries because English is widely used.

English study is playing an important role in the society, so we need to make great effort to study it well.
为什么学习英语
Why I Study English

English is one of the widely used languages in the world. By learning English, we can understand different cultures and see a different world. Personally, it is useful for our work and life if we can use English well. It can provide me more opportunities.
  Learning English gives me chances to contact people from other places. This makes me open-minded and willing to accept something different from mine. I think it is an important quality for my development. In addition, learning English helps me enjoy English movies and English books. It is a great fun.

我的爱好

I have a lot of hobbies including reading, travelling and doing exercises. When I have some free time, I will do some recreation activities for rest and relaxation.
  I love reading. Reading a good book in one sitting can give us a lot of pleasure. Reading enables us to interact with people in the books and experience their different lives indirectly. This is the special power of reading.
  Travelling can help us escape from our daily routines. In a new place, I can come across different people and see their different lifestyle, taste different food. It is a wonderful experience and offers us variety. Variety is the very spice in our life.
  I love to do some exercises in my spare time, such as swimming, table tennis and jogging. Doing exercises is helpful in building our physical health. A good health can guarantee our happiness.
 Hobbies can enlighten our life and make it rich and fruitful. We should keep them.


我的娱乐方式
In a fast-paced society, we need occasionally to relax ourselves. We can not work all the time otherwise we will suffer a lot, physically and psychologically. So entertainment and recreation becomes increasing important.
   There are quite a few ways of entertainments, watching movies, doing exercises, singing songs, playing instruments and so on. I love doing exercises most. By doing physical activities, I can relieve my pressure and find friendship with the team member. The most important thing is that it can build my fitness.

  There are quite a few ways of entertainments, watching movies, doing exercises, singing songs, playing instruments and so on. I love travelling most. By doing travelling, I can expand my life range . The most important thing is that it can enrich my experiences.



父母是最好的老师
It is widely believed that parents are the best teachers for the kids. I totally agree with this idea. Just as the saying goes: like father, like son.
We believe that parents are the first teachers in life. Before getting educated at school, children are mainly taught by their parents. Children are likely to imitate what their parents say and what their parents behave. Even when kids grow and start their school, their parents are still important. Their attitude towards study and life will produce some positive or negative influence. We cannot imagine a child whose parents shout at elders will show respect to their parents when they are old. Likewise, a father who usually spends most of his time playing with computer games at home can set a good example for his children who are studying at a primary school or middle school.
Parents should make great effort to become good teachers for their children.  
 
我最喜欢的老师

Luckily enough, I had an excellent English teacher in my senior high school. She has influenced me a lot.
  My English teacher encouraged us to speak English in class. She made great effort to involve us in classroom activities and gave us rewarding feedback. With her incredible help, we became interested in English learning and boosted our confidence in language study.

  She taught us some effective learning strategies. For example, she told us when we come across a new word, we need not have to look them up in the dictionary. Try to guess the meaning of the unknown words first based on the context. This would help us to grasp the text on a global basis. We have benefited a lot from this technique.


  A qualified English teacher is critical for kids because they can inspire students’ enthusiasm in the process of language acquisition.

电视广告
TV ads are prevalent here and there. 
It is useful for the producers to publicize the goods they want to sell. It also facilitates the consumers to gain some information of the items. TV ads perform a bridge to fill the information gap between the consumers and marketers.
However, some ads contain some false information and exaggerate the effect of certain products. For example, some ads claim that a certain kind of food has magical effect but in fact it is a complete trap. They mislead the potential consumers. Some ads are designed specially for kids and lure them to buy the goods for showing off.
I love some non-profit ads rather than commercial ones. They make me to think and act.

自学的利弊

Self-study is an important part of self-improvement, especially for the part-time students. Self-study will make a difference and it is unavoidable for students to come across some difficulties.
 This is an era of life-long-learning. When we spend most of time on work, we have little chance to study full time with the help of teachers face to face. However, we can teach ourselves. In this process, we can develop learning aptitude. We make great effort to solve academic problems by ourselves. We can gain a sense of achievements.
  Not surprisingly, some difficulties will occur in self-study. Studying alone may bring less interaction between instructors and learners. Fortunately, thanks to internet, students can find solutions to problems. People can contact with each other online.
  All in all, we can develop ourselves by self-study. Learning to teach ourselves effectively is really an important skill.

Jane returned to her beloved man in spite of his handicap and shone his life and faded over his grave. She is a decent lady.
  Jane Eyre is an inspiring fictional story and it is worth reading.
   
身体健康的重要性

It is important to keep a healthy body. Body health can guarantee our happiness and is considered as a priceless wealth.

1.介绍你对健康与财富之间关系的看法；
2.简述你持有以上看法的理由。
答案：无
Health and wealth are two constant factors which contribute to our happiness. Both of them are important. As far as I am concerned, health is relatively more important than wealth.
Health is extremely important. If a person is physically and psychologically healthy, he or she is more likely to enjoy a happy life as far as they work hard. Some wealthy people are not happy when they are suffering a deadly disease. In this sense, health is more important than wealth.


Health and wealth are two constant factors which contribute to our happiness. Both of them are important. As far as I am concerned, wealth is relatively more important than health.
Wealth is more important lies in the fact that money talks. With money in hand, we can meet our basic needs and even make us be able to afford our further education. Many people have missed some opportunities because of lack of money in some poverty-stricken areas. In this sense, wealth is more important than health

Some people believe/claim/think that town life is better than country life. I agree with this idea.
There are quite a few advantages for living in the urban areas. We can enjoy a complete system of facilities, such as easy transportation, banking service, advanced medical care, public libraries and museums and art galleries. Moreover, there are more job opportunities for young people to pursue their further development.
   All in all, I would like to live in a town for its public facility and abundant opportunities.
  
Some people believe/claim/think that town life is better than country life. As far as I am concerned, I disagree with this idea. I believe country life is better than town life.
Despite the convenience and opportunities in a town or city, I suggest it is better to live in the countryside. We can enjoy the peace and quiet while breathing the fresh air in a remote place. It will be a wonderful experience to go back to nature. More importantly, there is less pressure in the country than in the town. 
   All in all, I would like to live in the countryside for its peaceful and relatively relaxing environment.

1.住在大城市的优点；
2.住在大城市的缺点。
Living in a Big City
  With the modernization and urbanization, increasing number of people move to big cities for different purposes. It is clear that living in big cities has its own advantages and disadvantages.
  One of the most obvious merit of living in a major city is that there are relatively abundant chances. For example, more job opportunities are offered to people in all walks of life. In addition, big cities are equipped with complete facilities of transportation, education medical care and many other public services, which can greatly improve the quality of life.
  However, living in big cities has its disadvantages. One of the serious problems is the air pollution and troublesome noise as well as annoying traffic jams. Moreover, people in big cities are more likely to suffer great pressures in work and life. This is one of the reasons why rate of mental disorder is increasing. We should also notice that people have to bear high cost of life in house, many people, especially young people can not afford their own apartments.

Dear Editor, 
     I'm writing to tell you about a discussion we've had about whether the students should take physical exercise.
60 percent of the students claim that we should do exercises every day. We can do morning exercises, play Ping-pong and basketball because it can build our body and reduce illness. But we should not spend too much time on them. In contrast, 40 percent of students believe it is a waste of time and makes us tired. They think that it will take more time to get into study again after a long period of exercise. 
This is the result of the discussion. I hope it will be useful to you.
