高中英語范文2 A Pair of Red Shoes 一雙鞋子

I have ever seen a pair of red shoes with some colored butterflies on them.They were so beautiful that I like them at first glance.But I couldn’t persuade my mother to buy them for me.I had to make up my mind to realize my wish by myself.So I kept on saving money for several months.The shoes were bought at last.However, to my surprise, the shoes didn’t fit me.When I was walking, my feet were blistered from the rubbing.From then on, I didn’t dare to wear them any longer.Day by day, I am growing up.Thanks to the pair of shoes, I have set up my own philosophy.There are so many temptations all our lives, but what we choose should first suit ourselves.We can’t wrong ourselves for other’s eyes.The shoes on our feet may be neither pretty nor charming, but both of which just fit ourselves.So no matter what we may do, perhaps it isn’t interesting or after our heart s, if we devote ourselves to it, we are sure to make great success.at first glance 乍看

高中英語范文3 The Use of Computer 電腦的使用

According to the survey by “Robert Computing Magazine”, computer sales increased greatly from 1992 to 2002.The total sales in 1992 were shown to be less than 5 million.However, from 1992 to 2002, computer sales rose rapidly.For example, computer sold to businesses increased from 2.5 million to 22 million while computers sold for home use went from 2.0 million up to 12.5 million.Schools also bought computers, but the sales wasn’t as big as that of homes and businesses, only rising to 4.7 million.It can be predicted that more computers will be sold in the following years because computers have already come into every field in people’s lives.according to the survey 根據(jù)調(diào)查

Watching Film or TV?

看電影還是看電視?

There are fewer people watching films now than before.Meanwhile, people watching TV are more and more.The reason for this is that TV industry has devel oped rapidly.TV provides many kinds of interesting programs.People prefer to stay at home watching TV rather than go out to see a movie.Besides, people are richer than before and many families can afford color TV sets.Although movies are giving way to TV, there are still some people who like seeing films not only because good films are not shown on TV but also because film has its own advantages.[來源:Zxxk.Com]

prefer to...rather than 寧愿??而不愿

afford 支費(fèi)

give way to 讓步，在先

not only...but also 不僅??而且

In class you need to answer your teacher’s questions.If you meet a foreigner, you’d better talk with him in English.And it is a good way to practice our spoken English.Secondly, you’d better buy a short wave radio to pick up the English programmes.There are a lot of good English language programmes broadcast on the radio.Those programmes are usually easy to receive and not difficult to understand.They are of great help to you in learning English.At last, you can find some pen-friends in English-speaking countries and write to them in English.If you have some questions, you can write them down and ask for some information you need.Thus, I’m sure every learner can learn English well.[來源:Z。xx。k.Com]

How I Improve My Writing 我是怎樣提高英語寫作的

I began to practice English writing a year ago.Though I’m very glad to say that I have made some progress, I still have a long way to go.Some pen friends and my classmates asked me how I improved my writing.Here I’d like to tell my story.When I began to learn writing last term, I made many mistakes in grammar and also in idioms.I often thought in Chinese and just translated what I had in mind into English.My English teacher, Mr.Sun, helped me.He pointed out my mistakes and told me that I should try to think in English, not in Chinese, pay attention to English grammar and idioms, and use simple sentences whenever I can.I did as he said.When I finished writing, I read it very carefully and checked it up.As soon as I found out mistakes, I corrected them at once.I have kept on doing this and found I am making fewer mistakes than before.My teacher says I have improved a lot and he encourages me to continue practicing.No pains, no gains.Through nearly a year of practice, my writing has improved.I’m very lucky that two of my short English articles have been carried in the newspapers.I have become even more interested in writing.I’m an ordinary girl and I’m not very clever.But I know it is very important to keep on practicing.Practice makes perfect.So I think three things are important in learning writing: first, we must be sure of ourselves;second, we sh ould pay attention to English grammar and idioms;third, we must keep on practicing and be more careful in writing.Do you think so?

Learning How to Swim 學(xué)游泳

During summer holidays, my good friend Chuanchuan and I went to join a swimming class.Before, I only knew how to do dog paddle—like a dog falling into the water and tr ying to swim.At the swimming class, my teacher told us how to really swim.First, she taught us how to do the crawl.For the crawl we had to breathe on both the left and the right sides.After that, my teacher taught us how to do backstroke.For swimming backstroke, our arms needed to go back in a circular motion.My teacher demonstrated the backstroke first before teaching, and then we followed her.Sometimes, our teacher let us play a game called “catch the ring”.This was how we played it: someone took a rubber ring and threw it into the water, then we dived down in the water and brought it back up to the surface.We all played happily.Now I know how to swim!

A.12句搞定高考英語作文-health care reform（漫畫類、批判類）

As is vividly described in the picture, an old man was suffering from heart attack，he had to go to hospital for medical care.When he saw the medical bill with $ 5,000,he was so shocked that he almost had a fall.which seems to be humorous and ridiculous but thought-provoking on second thoughts.The most striking feature that impresses me deeply is that it is so difficult for poor people to cure illness.There’re several reasons accounting for the phenomenon.For one thing,some people earn too little money to afford the medical care For another thing,our society lacks essential medical insurance system covering average people.what’s worse,some hospitals provides medical service only to seek high profits

On account of the above-mentioned phenomenon, several serious effects have been put forward.Some people may get stuck into deep debt in order to get proper medical care.Worse still, some cannot borrow any money so they have to bear the pain of disease or wait for the end of life

From what have been discussed above, it is therefore, necessary that some effective measures are taken to prevent the occurance of becoming poor because of illness On the one hand, the government should build up medical insurance system and further medical care reform.On the other hand, it is demanding for us to keep people aware of the importance of helping each other.However, it is easier said than done..Only when we payattention to it can wesee a colorful and harmonious futureand enjoy our life as long as possible.B.12句搞定高考英語作文-觀點(diǎn)對(duì)立類、利弊類

There is a widespread concern over the issue that（作文題目）But it is well known that the opinion concerning this hot topic varies from person to person.A majority of people think that _ 觀點(diǎn)一_.In their views there are 2 factors contributing to this attitude as follows: in the first place,原因一.What’s more, 原因二.So it goes without saying that觀點(diǎn)一.People, however, differ in their opinions on this matter.Some people hold the idea that觀點(diǎn)二.In their point of view, on the one hand，原因一.On the other hand,原因二.Therefore, there is no doubt that觀點(diǎn)二_.As far as I am concerned, I firmly support the view that觀點(diǎn)一或二.It is not only because ____, but also because ____.The more ____, the more___.There is a widespread concern over the issue that too much homework for students is assigned.But it is well known that the opinion concerning this hot topic varies from person to person.Most students think that as we students have too much homework, it can enrich our school life and relieve our pressure.In addition, by doing so, students’ abilities can be developed.It is an unforgettable experience for us and also a good chance to earn respect from others.However, some teachers hold a different opinion.They argue that it is a waste of time to rehearse（反復(fù)訓(xùn)練）, which will have a bad effect on students’ study.Besides, there will not be too many programmes and only a limited number of students can join in it.Instead, we can organize some sports activities for more students to take part in.From my point of view, it is necessary to hold a party to celebrate the Near Year because it can make our school life morecolorful.At the same time , it can promote the friendship between students.However, we shouldn’t concentrate on it too much.After all ,the final examination is on the way

P1.As is described in the passage above,although it is as crowded as usual during the “transport during the Spring Festival period”, many solutions have been raised.But this year, with another problem of buying tickets on-line appearing, many are dissatisfied.P2.This reminds me of a similar experience.Last year, I, together with my parents, went to our hometown by train.At that time, you can imagine how crowded it was in the railway station and how difficult it was for us to buy a ticket.Worse still, it was raining and we had to wait in queue patiently for our turn to buy tickets.This year, things are much better.We can buy tickets through Internet.However, some other problems appear.P3There’re several reasons accounting for the phenomenon.For one thing,for migrant workers, lacking the knowledge of handling computers has trapped them into trouble.For another thing, the ticket-selling system is not advanced enough to cope with difficult situations.P4.From my perspective,to solve the problem, not only should the Ministry of Railways update or better the ticket-selling system regularly but also provide more convenient and easy ways for migrant workers to buy tickets.As for migrant workers, they can learn to purchase their tickets on-line with the help of Internet or co-workers.Choosing other means of transportation to return back is also available.Only when average people are served heart and soul can we see a really harmonious society.只有在不斷竭盡全力突破原來的極限，潛力才會(huì)化為實(shí)力 2

18、ChaplinA Great Master of Humour（幽默大師卓別林）

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.卓別林是一名非凡的演員，他主演并導(dǎo)演了多部杰出的喜劇?？匆娝尚Φ男『印⒒氖謩?shì)動(dòng)作，還有面對(duì)警探的追捕時(shí)有趣的反應(yīng)，很少有人會(huì)覺得厭煩。喝醉酒啦，踩到香蕉皮滑倒啦，或者自言自語(低語)自己的糗事啦，他無需任何語言解釋的表演總是使我們對(duì)自己的生活感到更加滿意。他獨(dú)特的幽默感直到現(xiàn)在依然使世界各地的人們都感到驚訝。

在一部小預(yù)算的電影里，他穿著磨破的鞋子和臟兮兮的衣服，扮演了一名貧窮又無家可歸的人。在一幕場(chǎng)景中，他被一場(chǎng)暴風(fēng)雪困在一片多山的區(qū)里。盡管他克服了許多困難，但是他還是運(yùn)氣不好的。粥都吃完了，他只好挑出一只鞋子煮來吃。他切下皮革的鞋底，像烙餅一樣地咀嚼起來。據(jù)一名女演員所說，他的表演是如此地令人信服而又逗人發(fā)笑的，以致在場(chǎng)的所有人都忍不住大笑起來。

19、A Misunderstanding（一場(chǎng)誤會(huì)）

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 Columbians were more likely to kiss others, I soon felt at ease.通常說來，口頭表達(dá)是人們交流的主要方法，但是肢體語言和面部表情也有這種功能。例如，打哈欠意味著不感興趣，背對(duì)別人或向其揮舞拳頭表達(dá)的是憤怒。但是在不同的文化中那些手勢(shì)表達(dá)的真正意思是很主觀的。由此，誤會(huì)就時(shí)不時(shí)地發(fā)生在今天這個(gè)文化交叉碰撞的世界里。有一回，我代表成人教育協(xié)會(huì)到機(jī)場(chǎng)去接一位從哥倫比亞來的高級(jí)官員，我得帶他到宿舍和食堂。當(dāng)他的航班到達(dá)時(shí)，我看見一名男子好奇地東張西望，于是走上前去和他打招呼。他突然猛沖過來擁抱我，還親了我的臉頰。還是個(gè)年輕姑娘的我感到真尷尬，不由自主舉起手來保護(hù)自己。他的假笑告訴我他感到丟了面子。、后來，我收到他送來的一盒磁帶，里面錄了他的道歉。當(dāng)聽到這只是因?yàn)楦鐐惐葋喨烁鼉A向于見面時(shí)互相親吻時(shí)，我很快就感到輕松安心了。

20、A Unique Theme Park（獨(dú)一無二的主題公園）

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.我們走高速公路的來往穿梭巴士一接近主題公園，大家都活躍了起來，并且提前穿上了布鞋，做好這趟外出旅游的準(zhǔn)備。翻譯付了入場(chǎng)費(fèi)后，我們就開始在陽光下欣賞各種各樣吸引人的東西。

根據(jù)旅行手冊(cè)的介紹，這個(gè)獨(dú)一無二的公園因其得到良好保護(hù)的少數(shù)名族文化而聞名。我們體驗(yàn)了許多早期定居者所做的事，如蕩過河啦，在叢林中獵殺動(dòng)物啦，或者參加劍術(shù)比賽啦等等。

這個(gè)公園還因?yàn)樗哪局萍o(jì)念品而聞名，我們?cè)谥行纳虉?chǎng)購買的任何一件物品，都是用木頭制作的，無論我們走到哪里，都可以看見少數(shù)名族的木匠們?cè)诿β?。他們制作的有木制工具、木制的卡通人物、木制的運(yùn)動(dòng)用的產(chǎn)品，等等等等。他們甚至還根據(jù)一臺(tái)真實(shí)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)仿造了一臺(tái)長度有20米的木制發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)。

這個(gè)主題公園真是個(gè)充滿幻想的娛樂公園，怪不得它成為當(dāng)?shù)芈糜螛I(yè)的一個(gè)品牌。

21、A Strange Disease（奇怪的疾?。?/p>

When the construction of the firework factory came to the stage of painting, a pump was put in.Then, all the painters in the neighbourhood were defeated by a severe disease whose characteristic was alike to that of a bad burn.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 enquiry, 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 tothe 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.當(dāng)那座煙花工廠的建設(shè)到了油漆階段時(shí)，一個(gè)水泵被安裝進(jìn)來，接著，在它附近的油漆工都得了一種嚴(yán)重的疾病(疾病擊敗油漆工)，其特征與燒傷相似。

一位經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的內(nèi)科醫(yī)生被指定去照顧受害者并負(fù)責(zé)處理這一案例。他熱情地投入到工作中，但是卻沒有預(yù)見到這是一次艱難的挑戰(zhàn)。在簡單的詢問后，他就宣布說罪魁禍?zhǔn)资鞘芪廴镜挠推?油漆應(yīng)受責(zé)備)。但是沒有確實(shí)的證據(jù)，人們很懷疑并拒絕他的觀點(diǎn)，大家都說他提出的理論毫無道理。他對(duì)自己要求更加嚴(yán)格，全身心地投入。除了詢問，他還制作了詳細(xì)的圖表，謹(jǐn)慎地分析各項(xiàng)數(shù)據(jù)，最后，他終于得出了一個(gè)科學(xué)的結(jié)論，把疾病和水泵中的鐳聯(lián)系起來。鐳是宇宙中的一種放射性物質(zhì)，當(dāng)暴露在鐳的輻射中時(shí)，人體吸收其射線，立刻染上疾病。

他把水泵向后旋轉(zhuǎn)，拿走了里面的鐳，這個(gè)簡單的動(dòng)作治愈了所有的受害者。

22、Sightseeing in the United Kingdom（觀光聯(lián)合王國）

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(請(qǐng)注意：音頻里面是headquarter，沒有加s，是不對(duì)的。)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舉辦了婚禮后到聯(lián)合王國做全國旅游觀光去了。他昨天傳真了一封英文信給我，讓我高興的是，他再也不犯時(shí)態(tài)錯(cuò)誤了，而且他的描述也粗略地向我闡明了關(guān)于英國 的一些問題——它的貨幣啦，行政管理啦，把它分成四個(gè)行政區(qū)的制度啦，還有在南愛爾蘭脫離聯(lián)合王國時(shí)發(fā)生的一些歷史上的沖突和爭拗。

因?yàn)椴辉敢饴┑羧魏我粋€(gè)景點(diǎn)，我表弟仔細(xì)地安排了他愉快的旅程。他參觀的其中一個(gè)吸引人的地方是蘇格蘭鄉(xiāng)村的一個(gè)城堡。城堡靠近一座港口，曾經(jīng)是共產(chǎn)主義聯(lián)盟會(huì)的總部，但是在戰(zhàn)爭中倒塌了。人們發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有任何東西可以取代這座輝煌的建筑，于是在1952年完成了重建。值得贊揚(yáng)的是，所有配備家具的房間都和它們過去一致的。由雕像加折疊在玻璃柜里的皇家制服組成的收藏品使我表弟震撼不已。盡管沒有可能購買這些展覽品，拍照卻很方便，他在傳真中一起發(fā)給了我。

23、An Air Crash（飛機(jī)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 mud to make our settlement and were back on our feet soon.Finally, guided by the smoke of our crashing jet, some local citizens came by carriages and saved us.我以前是一家郵局的打字員，因?yàn)槿淌軌蛄嗣刻煸诖蜃謾C(jī)上打郵資賬單或郵政編碼，我辭了職。帶著想掙大錢的貪婪動(dòng)機(jī)，我開始給一家叫G.E生態(tài)公司的企業(yè)當(dāng)商務(wù)代表，這家公司通過回收我們垃圾箱里的有用材料生產(chǎn)商品。我的新工作在多方面都給了我很好的印象，除了一點(diǎn)：乘飛機(jī)旅行擠滿了我的工作時(shí)間表。

有一次，我們的噴氣飛機(jī)在加速時(shí)被一場(chǎng)雷暴吞沒，不僅損壞了GPS信號(hào)接收器，還使我們看不見方向。一盞持續(xù)閃亮的燈說明我們的飛機(jī)正處在危險(xiǎn)中。一名乘務(wù)員立刻讓我們戴上面罩、系牢安全帶，接著按下一枚按鈕 打開逃生倉電源，逃生倉馬上側(cè)著滑出出口，安全降落在一片荒涼的地區(qū)。因?yàn)槿鄙偈称泛退幤?，我們一開始都又緊張又心里沒底，但是我們都保持樂觀，做好調(diào)整適應(yīng)這一新境況。我們打掃干凈周圍的泥土，安頓下來，很快就恢復(fù)過來。最后，在我們墜機(jī)煙霧的指引下，一些當(dāng)?shù)氐木用翊畛笋R車到來，我們都獲救了。

24、An Amateur Journalist（業(yè)余記者）

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.簡是一名家庭主婦，但卻非常樂意做一名業(yè)余記者。在家和工作之間奔波總是使她左右為難，而且對(duì)于新聞部來說，依靠一名業(yè)余人員來報(bào)道罪案也是不同尋常的，但是簡真的很有天賦，讓人欽佩的是她極少因?yàn)榉稿e(cuò)而受到責(zé)備。因?yàn)榭释龅酶訉I(yè)，她全神貫注于工作，且時(shí)不時(shí)地就提升自身的業(yè)務(wù)水平。

一旦接到新案子的通知，她通常的工作程序如下：首先，她和有罪的人約了作采訪。為了獲得準(zhǔn)確的新聞，她通常要求做錄音，同時(shí)，一位技術(shù)上好的同事會(huì)協(xié)助她拍照;接著，她對(duì)受采訪的人是否有故意隱瞞真相作出評(píng)估。如果她懷疑他們的話，就會(huì)親自調(diào)查案件;然后，她在截稿期限前寫出詳盡的報(bào)道，呈交給高級(jí)主編，由他對(duì)每個(gè)部分做潤色和批準(zhǔn);最后，她的新聞就發(fā)表在雜志的各個(gè)版本中了。

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 burn 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.有個(gè)孩子病倒了，他的體內(nèi)器官被一臺(tái)紅外線烤爐的放射線灼傷了。但是在救護(hù)車到來前，這個(gè)不幸的孩子身上還一而再、再而三地發(fā)生了許多別的傷害。開始是被櫥柜上水壺里的有毒液體噎住，然后是手腕的皮膚被電擊燒傷，最后，一只平底鍋還割傷了他的腳踝。幸運(yùn)的是，男孩的保姆根據(jù)他的復(fù)雜癥狀給予了適當(dāng)?shù)呐R時(shí)治療。她輕輕地從他喉嚨里把有毒液體擠了出來;并在腳踝合適的位置緊緊扎上繃帶，施加壓力使傷口的流血止住;對(duì)于燒傷，她用剪刀剪去他的袖子，倒了一盆涼水給燒傷位置降溫，并找來一件濕的女式襯衫緊緊蓋住他腫脹的皮膚組織。此外，她還激發(fā)起他的勇敢和難以忍受的疼痛做斗爭。她的急救在挽救他性命 中起了至關(guān)重要的作用。人們舉辦了一場(chǎng)典禮來表彰這位克服各種障礙挽救了男孩的小保姆。

26、Abstract Art（抽象藝術(shù)）

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 art nor geometry.Their Traditional Art Committee predicted its soon disappearing.But nowadays, abstract art 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.抽象藝術(shù)曾經(jīng)頗受爭議，一方面，抽象藝術(shù)家們不再畫精致的畫像，而是試圖采用特別的技巧給人們以不同的視覺沖擊;另一方面，他們的作品，包括用大理石和易碎的粘土雕刻出來的雕像，都以表達(dá)感情為其明確的目的。有些對(duì)抽象藝術(shù)反感的傳統(tǒng)學(xué)者說抽象藝術(shù)是極其明顯地荒謬可笑，說它既不是藝術(shù)，又不是幾何學(xué)，他們的傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)委員會(huì)還預(yù)言了它的迅速消失。

但是到了今天，抽象藝術(shù)已經(jīng)成為當(dāng)代文明永久財(cái)產(chǎn)的一部分，麥蒂遜大道的畫廊為典型的抽象藝術(shù)作品舉辦了許多出色的展覽，吸引了許多對(duì)抽象藝術(shù)有偏愛的人。這區(qū)有家叫埃及之影的咖啡館已經(jīng)成為那些有進(jìn)取精神的抽象藝術(shù)家們活動(dòng)的根據(jù)地，所以，親眼見到一位名聲極大的藝術(shù)家本人并不是什么巧合的事，他們被忠實(shí)的崇拜者索取簽名，并被給予成束的芬芳花朵和大量的贊揚(yáng)。

27、A Russian Poem（俄國童謠）

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.從童年時(shí)起，安東就常常在鋼琴師或小提琴師的伴奏下在婚禮上朗誦詩歌，為新郎新娘交換戒指前的儀式助興。漸漸地，他發(fā)現(xiàn)寫詩是表達(dá)他的歡樂和悲傷的最合適方式。在他還是個(gè)寂寞無聞的圖書管理員時(shí)，他的詩《矛盾的空白》就獲得了全國詩歌創(chuàng)作冠軍，并為他贏得一位贊助人提供的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，到莫斯科大學(xué)深造。獲得文憑后，他將一生都投入到詩歌創(chuàng)作中。使用具體而靈活的語言和最少的詞語數(shù)量是他的風(fēng)格，他還喜歡嘗試不同的詩歌形式，特別是童謠。下面由三部分組成的譯文就是他的作品中的一首： 小麻雀，負(fù)重?fù)?dān)，筋疲力盡擋風(fēng)寒，汗水成鹽無指引，能否穿越無邊暗？ 小氣球，脫繩系，飛越農(nóng)舍真高興，陽光給予它溫暖，永遠(yuǎn)高飛不費(fèi)力； 別緊張，小氣球，別笑麻雀傷口留，光光的樹梢歇片刻，恒（鉆石）心終把成功求。

28、Let’s Help Adolescents（幫助青少年）

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 hurt their lungs and make them breathless quickly.Others can’t 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.不論男女，青少年們都喜歡不顧家長的指導(dǎo)，自己對(duì)一切作決定，特別是當(dāng)他們面對(duì)如性、心理壓力等等一些使他們覺得羞愧和尷尬的問題時(shí)更是如此。因此，由于他們理解力和判斷力的不足，他們常常會(huì)無意識(shí)地陷入困境中。有的對(duì)香煙上癮，只要幾包就會(huì)對(duì)他們的肺造成損害，使他們很容易就氣喘吁吁;有的沒法戒除酒精帶來的不良后果，包括造成年輕的懷孕女性流產(chǎn)或生下不正常的嬰兒;最糟糕的是濫用毒品，因?yàn)橐坏┧麄兊纳眢w對(duì)毒品習(xí)慣了，要想戒毒就相當(dāng)困難了。同時(shí)，那些共用從非法藥劑師處購買的注射器的青少年冒著感染令人絕望的艾滋病的極大風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，一旦感染上，不管是打針還是吃藥都沒法保證他們的生存了。

然而，請(qǐng)不要輕易就對(duì)我們的孩子失望或抱有偏見，畢竟，不成熟是年輕的必然附屬品。只要我們加強(qiáng)和他們的溝通，而不是僅僅禁止這樣，不準(zhǔn)那樣，我們一定能幫助他們避開不健康的東西。

29、Refresh Our Environment（恢復(fù)環(huán)境生機(jī)）

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.正如那位主任代表他的研究小組所說明的那樣，這張圖表的數(shù)據(jù)清楚地描述了未來環(huán)境的趨勢(shì)：一方面，燃料的數(shù)量以每年9%的速度持續(xù)減少，同時(shí)，大范圍污染的增長已經(jīng)成為一種全球趨勢(shì);另一反面，平均氣溫輕微卻穩(wěn)定地升高正在造成像廣泛的洪澇那樣的災(zāi)難。無不同意地，他們一致贊成是人類的存在和任意的消耗能源才造成了這一現(xiàn)象。

許多人都信奉開發(fā)核能和外太空能源會(huì)防止糟糕的后果發(fā)生的理論，然而，即使這樣可以基本上滿足我們的需要，科學(xué)家和教育家們?nèi)匀环磳?duì)這一觀點(diǎn)。他們更傾向于擁護(hù)用節(jié)省能源和回收廢料的方法恢復(fù)環(huán)境生機(jī)，并建議我們要使用節(jié)省能源的器具，如電力發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)、微波爐等，還建議我們不要對(duì)如回收罐子這種小事漫不經(jīng)心。因此，看看你身邊是否有你能做的事，只要每個(gè)人都作出貢獻(xiàn)，我們就不必再忍受這個(gè)問題的困擾了。

30、A Volcano Eruption（火山爆發(fā)）

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!作為最好的候選人，我被委派為一個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)庫收集和評(píng)估各種自然災(zāi)害的信息，例如颶風(fēng)、臺(tái)風(fēng)或雷暴等。有時(shí)我通過向經(jīng)歷過這些災(zāi)害的人分發(fā)調(diào)查問卷來收集信息，有時(shí)卻得親自經(jīng)歷實(shí)際的災(zāi)害。Musaki火山就是其中之一。

那時(shí)，我和一名來欣賞火山爆發(fā)的小說家同住在火山邊上的一座平房里。有一天，當(dāng)我正在陽臺(tái)上畫圖表而他在屋里洗澡時(shí)，火山突然爆發(fā)了，噴射到天空中的火山灰和巖漿噴泉從50米到100米不等，這一情景絕對(duì)地奇異，我甚至還注意到一條彩虹出現(xiàn)在熱浪造成的霧里。然而，我向四周看了一下，馬上預(yù)見到了潛在的危險(xiǎn)，也發(fā)現(xiàn)了我們的安全毫無保障。令人不舒服的氣體幾乎使我們失去知覺，憂慮的汗水開始流淌下來。我們努力使自己不要驚慌和顫抖，迅速穿上保護(hù)套裝、頭盔和靴子，最后成功前往安全的地方。盡管我珍貴的設(shè)備和文件都燒得精光，但是我們真的非常幸運(yùn)。

31、Defeat Disability（戰(zhàn)勝殘疾）

Yang’s ambition was to get an architect certificate or become a bowling master.But when he was conducting experiments with a microscope in the basement, a tank on the bench exploded, sending him flying outwards through the exit.He was out of breath while knowing he lost his eyesight as well as 70% of his hearing.In other words, he was disabled.Feeling clumsy, he was annoyed at first though nobody made fun of him.He cut out going outdoors and just sat around at home talking to his parrot or tortoise silently.His sister resigned to help him in many ways.Her assistance and encouragement were so beneficial to his psychology that he adapted to his disability soon and became outgoing again.In a college accessible to him, he studied politics and literature.He always sat in the front row near the entry without any absence and, with the help of his handy laptop, he studied well by means of dictation.His thesis, Abolishing Slavery, met with all professors’ approval.After class, he and his companions often played drum music, which was noisy but suitable for his hearing.After graduation, he made high profits by designing software for a firm.All in all, in his community, he won his dignity and people’s congratulations.He always wished all the best to his disabled fellows and encouraged them, “Never mind!All you have is adequate to get your achievement.”

陽的雄心是，要么獲得一張建筑師證書，要么成為一名保齡球高手。但是在地下室里的顯微鏡下進(jìn)行試驗(yàn)時(shí)，放在長凳上的一只大桶突然爆炸，把他從出口處炸飛了出去。當(dāng)知道自己除了失去70%的聽力之外，還失去了視力時(shí)，他完全喘不過氣來。換句話說，他殘疾了。

最初，盡管沒人取笑他，他還是非常氣惱于自己的笨拙。他取消了外出，總是在家里閑坐，和他的鸚鵡和烏龜默默相對(duì)。他的姐姐辭了職，用許多方式幫助他。她的幫助和鼓勵(lì)對(duì)他的心理是如此地有益，以致他很快就適應(yīng)了自己的殘疾，再次變得外向起來。他在一所接受他就讀的學(xué)校里學(xué)習(xí)政治和文學(xué)，總是坐在靠近入口的前排，從不缺席。在他輕便好用的手提電腦的幫助下，他用聽寫的方式學(xué)習(xí)得很好。他的論文《廢除奴隸制》受到所有教授的一致認(rèn)可。課后，他和伙伴們還常常演奏大聲卻適合他聽覺的鼓樂。畢業(yè)后，他通過設(shè)計(jì)軟件為一家公司獲得很高的利潤?？傊谒纳鐓^(qū)里，他贏得了自己的尊嚴(yán)和人們的祝賀。

他一直都把所有最好祝愿給予他殘疾的同伴，并鼓勵(lì)他們：“沒關(guān)系，你擁有的一切一定足 夠你取得自己的成就!”

32、Happy Marriage Needs Fighting For（幸福的婚姻需要爭取）

As a talented navy officer, he was bound to be busy.When his wife rang him up to declare her divorce alarm, he was still scanning a digital counter to check the data so as to give an assessment of the theoretical framework for a biochemical weapon.His junior staff’s sympathy made him feel embarrassed.His wife was a part-time clerk.With his high bonus, she lived in a grand house with elegant cushions and bedding.Her favour was reading stars’ biographies or absurd fictions with endless chapters in her armchair.People envied her leisure life very much.But in fact, she was tired of being left alone.She sent emails to his mailbox every week to state her thinking and ask for his accompaniment, but never received reply of satisfaction.Tired of his explanation that he must obey the orders, she filed for divorce.Because he desired to get their holy affection back, he set other affairs aside.He trimmed his fingernails short and changed his overweight figure as well as his awful haircut.He wore an apron to prepare delicious cuisine for her.He also bought her a necklace and piles of flowers hoping that their receiver could turn around.After being tested out for 3 months in all, he eventually succeeded.作為一名才華出眾的海軍軍官，他注定是要忙碌的。當(dāng)他的妻子打來電話宣布和他離婚的警告時(shí)，他還在查看一臺(tái)數(shù)碼計(jì)數(shù)器核對(duì)數(shù)據(jù)，以對(duì)一種生物化學(xué)武器的理論框架做出評(píng)估。他的下級(jí)職員表現(xiàn)出的同情使他很尷尬。

他的妻子是一位非全日性工作的職員，有了他的高津貼，她住在一所裝飾有優(yōu)雅墊子和寢具的富麗堂皇的屋子里。她的愛好是坐在扶手椅上讀讀明星們的傳記或一些有沒完沒了章節(jié)的荒謬小說。別人都很妒忌她安逸的生活，但是實(shí)際上，她厭透了被獨(dú)自丟下。她每周都給他的郵箱發(fā)電子郵件陳述她的想法，要求他的陪伴，但卻從未收到滿意答復(fù)。受夠了他總是必須服從命令的解釋，她提出了離婚。

因?yàn)榭释匦芦@得這份神圣的愛，他把別的事務(wù)都放在一邊。他剪短了指甲，改變了超重的身材和糟糕的發(fā)型，還穿上圍裙為她做可口的菜肴，他甚至還給她買了項(xiàng)鏈和成堆的鮮花，希望它們的接受者能夠回心轉(zhuǎn)意。

在被考驗(yàn)了總共3個(gè)月后，他最終成功了。

33、Mark and a Seal（馬克和海豹）

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 Antarctic seal with sharp teeth appeared opposite him.Every cell in his body was scared to death.But soon, he was aware that he wasn’t the target of an attack.With a neat 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 yell and suck his hands happily.Witnesses said their anecdotes reflected a magic dimension of the relationship between humans and animals.馬克用他的退休金在海岸邊租了一間住所，每年都去那兒欣賞純凈的大海深處那生動(dòng)的美麗。

有一次，馬克帶著他的水下望遠(yuǎn)鏡和手電筒，潛到陡峭的暗礁和海草保護(hù)區(qū)間的分界線。突然，一只長著尖利牙齒、使人畏懼的南極海豹出現(xiàn)在他對(duì)面。馬克嚇壞了，但是很快，他就意識(shí)到，他不是攻擊的目標(biāo)。這只灰色海豹的唇上有道鯊魚咬出的整齊傷口，還時(shí)不時(shí)地被潮水沖得頭上腳下。盡管如此，它卻總是努力輕輕碰撞馬克，似乎在催促他幫助它。于是馬克放棄了逃跑。在這只海豹的合作下，馬克用一張網(wǎng)把它拖到淺水區(qū)，并毫不停歇給它動(dòng)了一個(gè)簡單的手術(shù)，幫助它解決了問題，然后將它安置在海邊一個(gè)狹窄的洞里。每次當(dāng)馬克給它帶來鮮美可口的魚時(shí)，它就會(huì)高興地大聲叫喚，還吮吸他的手。目擊者都說他們的軼事映射出人與動(dòng)物關(guān)系中奇妙的一個(gè)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.一年前，那位著名的宇航員收到一份由一個(gè)偏遠(yuǎn)村莊通過航空郵件寄來的邀請(qǐng)。因?yàn)橄胍粑幌滦迈r空氣，他和翻譯到那兒做了一次兩周的訪問。當(dāng)?shù)刂惺顾麄儽陡袠s幸，但卻震驚于所見所聞。泥濘的道路、河流干枯，大部分的村民擁有的財(cái)產(chǎn)只不過是一只掃帚、幾個(gè)瓶瓶罐罐而已，圓角的矩形草屋四周長滿了雜草，學(xué)校也沒有屋頂和講臺(tái)，學(xué)生們更對(duì)點(diǎn)擊操作電腦毫無概念。他們生活確實(shí)相當(dāng)困難。

很快，宇航員就向村莊做了慷慨的自愿捐贈(zèng)。捐贈(zèng)品中有給學(xué)生的課本，給裁縫的縫紉機(jī)，還有給農(nóng)民的拖拉機(jī)。捐贈(zèng)金的分配目錄中還包括一間診所和一間書箱圖書館的運(yùn)作，并有傳 授像怎么使種子干透，或者怎么養(yǎng)牛這種相關(guān)農(nóng)業(yè)知識(shí)的每周課程。他自己不僅親自幫助做一些文書工作，還給男孩子們購買了烤馬鈴薯的烤架、給渴望得到梳子的女孩子們買了梳子。前幾天，他又收到了村民們邀請(qǐng)他參加捐贈(zèng)周年會(huì)的來信。出于政治和安全原因，他無法調(diào)整外出時(shí)間安排，否則他就會(huì)去了。不過他所做的一切村民們都永遠(yuǎn)記得。

35、Study in America（留學(xué)美國）

Nannan’s father runs an enterprise near the Ming Tombs selling batteries and drills 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.楠楠的父親在明陵附近經(jīng)營一家企業(yè)，銷售電池和鉆機(jī)到大慶油田。抱著獲得相應(yīng)資格幫助管理的希望，楠楠做了大量準(zhǔn)備，然后帶著簽證離開祖國去美國留學(xué)。抵達(dá)目的地后，她在一間旅行代理推薦的旅館安頓下來。

就楠楠而言，她在國內(nèi)一直保持著良好的狀態(tài)，但是在國外，她卻不得不承認(rèn)，要適應(yīng)新學(xué)院的要求不容易，它們和國內(nèi)的要求不相同。盡管她整天都忙著聽講座、參加研討會(huì)努力學(xué)習(xí)，她起草的論文還是被導(dǎo)師駁了回來。至于日常生活，她也感覺難于適應(yīng)，例如，她發(fā)覺英語成語很難理解，而且不可能吃到地道的中國食品，盡管可選的許多餐館都有提供豐富的替代品。此外，她還得冒著把人凍得麻木的寒冷早起排隊(duì)等小型巴士去學(xué)校。最使她煩惱的是，一名店主籠子里的狗的吠叫鬧得她睡不好覺，但卻沒有任何人向她道歉。

幸運(yùn)的是，在她父母通過可視電話的安慰下，她很快就鍛煉得自主獨(dú)立起來，并最終成功獲得了學(xué)士學(xué)位。

36、Immigrate to America（移民美國）

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 nephew’s 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 long, he started his own bakery and lived a better life.因?yàn)槭艿矫绹睒s的吸引，我的侄子與一名韓國人合作，從北極的白令海峽偷渡到美國。為了避開海關(guān)的懲處，他們躲在一艘叫“北極海鷗”的渡輪里，背靠背坐著，整整3天沒有睡覺、洗澡和刮胡子，上岸的時(shí)候也沒有機(jī)會(huì)心痛他們丟失的行李，這次橫渡的艱辛是顯而易見的。

起初，他借助飼養(yǎng)牲畜謀生，后來受雇于飛機(jī)制造工業(yè)。他住的地方是一個(gè)天主教區(qū)，除了包括一小部分(百分比)的巴基斯坦移民，大部分的居民都來自于意大利和丹麥，他們都保持著自己的風(fēng)俗和文化，使這里的街區(qū)都從種族的角度清楚地劃出界線，明確標(biāo)示。這很不公平，極需改革，但我的侄子沒別的地方可去，只好繼續(xù)居住下去，想法設(shè)法開始新的生活。

我侄子的好運(yùn)在他勇敢地幫助一名列車員剎停一列電車以防止其滑出軌道時(shí)到來了。那個(gè)人后來被選為社會(huì)黨的副主席，我侄子就想到應(yīng)該抓住機(jī)會(huì)請(qǐng)求他的幫助。這個(gè)人充滿感激，立即把我侄子的勇敢事跡插入到申請(qǐng)文件中，幫助我侄子向美國國內(nèi)政權(quán)當(dāng)局申請(qǐng)美國居住權(quán)。不像別的許多申請(qǐng)人，我侄子的申請(qǐng)很快被聯(lián)邦司法部批準(zhǔn)了。不久，他就開了自己的面包店，過上了稍好一點(diǎn)的生活。

37、Be Careful about Cloning（謹(jǐn)慎對(duì)待克隆）

After a series of initial experiments and corrections, the scientist’s 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 into a side road.”

在最初一系列的實(shí)驗(yàn)和修正之后，科學(xué)家的辛苦工作終于取得了成功，一對(duì)雙生的克隆火雞孵化出來，羽毛和爪子都很正常。這一突破或許能讓人們使他們喜愛的寵物死而復(fù)生。然而，使他不時(shí)地?zé)赖氖牵驗(yàn)樗鼈儫o法抵抗疾病，使得它們的健康狀況極差。這個(gè)缺點(diǎn)讓他很沮喪。僅僅過了2個(gè)星期，克隆體和母體都死亡了，這使他內(nèi)心里充滿了挫折，他也因此在達(dá)到自己目標(biāo)前就退休了，并選擇加入歌劇合唱團(tuán)來減輕消沉的感覺。

之后不久，媒體就因?yàn)榈赖聠栴}而發(fā)表了反對(duì)克隆的保守論點(diǎn)，并且建議憲法應(yīng)該包括強(qiáng)制性的法規(guī)禁止通過克隆獲得商業(yè)利益。

當(dāng)被采訪時(shí)，科學(xué)家盯著天花板上的裝飾物思考了一會(huì)兒，說：“我不贊成任何任意的假設(shè)，但是從事克隆與用面粉制作面包的簡單過程確實(shí)不大相同。在我們積累了足夠的準(zhǔn)確知識(shí)前，任何實(shí)際操作都是徒勞無功的，注定會(huì)失敗?？偠灾又?jǐn)慎地對(duì)待克隆是合理的，否則我們或許會(huì)誤入歧途?！?/p>

38、Strange Patent Applications（奇怪的專利申請(qǐng)）

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 so on.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.I 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.有一次，有個(gè)人用不銹鋼絲和繩子制作了一架三角形的直升飛機(jī)。他致電給我們，高興地聲稱其確實(shí)牢固，而且方便使用，從不發(fā)生故障。我請(qǐng)他稍等，但這個(gè)天真的人掛了電話就開始從院子里起飛。我撥打他在電話簿上的號(hào)碼試圖回電給他，卻無法接通。

為了顯示與眾不同，時(shí)不時(shí)就有人違反常規(guī)，向我們提交一些奇怪的產(chǎn)品申請(qǐng)，例如固定在前額的信號(hào)燈、立方體的胡桃、用稻草和膠水制作的冰箱、沒人能受得了的香水等

從法院人事部辭職后，我開始在現(xiàn)在的專利局工作。我工作起來既稱職又有活力，在投身于根據(jù)新版的申請(qǐng)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)鑒定專利申請(qǐng)，以防他們無效或不實(shí)用時(shí)，我從未感覺到消極沒勁

仁慈的上帝保佑，一場(chǎng)突然降臨的凍雨打濕了他的火藥，使他造成的麻煩沒有擴(kuò)大，只是撞入一間水果店，把所有成熟的水果都?jí)撼梢凰康墓u。當(dāng)人們小心地抓住這個(gè)失去理智的 人，輕輕拍打他的臉使他清醒過來時(shí)，他還在抱怨糟糕的壞天氣，卻沒有將他的失敗與他不科學(xué)的設(shè)計(jì)聯(lián)系起來。

39、Pronunciation and Status（口音與身份）

An ambassador and a referee were consulting a professor on the caption of a Buddhistic alphabet when a sobbing woman stopped them to sell an antique musical bathtub.Her dirty garment and the handkerchief around her waist were badly in need of sending to a laundry.The ambassador uncomfortably gave her a handful of pence from his wallet and said, “Take this fortune away, troublesome woman.”

When her figure faded away, the brilliant professor said, “You are mistaken and your improper remark on her should be condemned.In terms of this extraordinary woman, you can’t classify her status by her horrible clothes or disgusting nails.Her clean 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 saying, “I 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 my pronunciation seemed to have betrayed me.”

一位大使和一位裁判正在就一張佛教符號(hào)表的文字說明請(qǐng)教教授，這時(shí)，一名哭哭啼啼的女人把他們攔住，要賣給他們一個(gè)古董音樂澡盆，她骯臟的衣服和腰間的手帕都急需送到洗衣店清洗。大使很不舒服地從錢包里掏出一把便士說：“把這大筆錢拿走，麻煩的女人!”

等她的身影漸漸遠(yuǎn)去，那位才華橫溢的教授說：“你錯(cuò)了，你對(duì)她不適當(dāng)?shù)脑u(píng)論語應(yīng)該受到譴責(zé)。就這個(gè)不同尋常的女人來說，你不能根據(jù)她糟糕的衣服或令人惡心的指甲給她的身份地位分類。她干凈的羊毛背心和襪子，尤其是她一流的發(fā)音，都暗示著她的上層身份?！贝笫贵@奇地吹了聲口哨，建議去認(rèn)識(shí)她。教授猶豫了一會(huì)兒，最后妥協(xié)了。

結(jié)果呢，她真的是一位高級(jí)警官。當(dāng)他們被帶進(jìn)她的辦公室再次見到她時(shí)，她給他們拿來一壺茶和一些餅干，笑著說：“我把奶油和蠟涂在大衣上假扮成寒酸骯臟的女人混進(jìn)在小偷和搶劫犯中間，是為了調(diào)查一宗陰謀。通常說來，你們對(duì)我的忽視和我對(duì)此的適應(yīng)就是最好的幫助。但是我的發(fā)音似乎暴露了我啊?！?/p>

40、A Sly Murder（一宗狡猾的謀殺案）

When giving a lecture about the significance of punctuation, the academic professor was interrupted and arrested by the police for murdering his wife, a receptionist of a kindergarten.The police found some photos he deleted from their e-album showing that they used to have a gay life.But, fed up with her wrinkled face, he murdered her instead of divorcing her to avoid fortune division.He cut up a kind of seashell with a sharpened knife, and hammered it into powder on a skateboard, and made at most one gram, which was enough to accelerate one’s pulse until he or she dies.This kind of poison can date back to 10,000 BC when people rubbed it on spears to kill beasts.The professor mixed the poison with onion, watermelon and yogurt for his wife.Howling and scratching her chest, she felt dizzy and died soon.After tentative examination, the police assumed she died of heart disease.But systematic botanical analyses showed that the watermelon spit on the messy mat and the quilt was poisonous.Regardless of exhaustion and starvation, the acute and skilful policemen used radioactive equipment to make sure the category of the poison.Primitive and not ample as their alternative equipment was, they got perfect accuracy somehow.People applauded the police and the woman’s family can look ahead with relief now.那位學(xué)院的教授在發(fā)表關(guān)于標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)重要意義的演講時(shí)被警察打斷了，他因謀殺自己的妻子——一位幼兒園的接待員——而被逮捕。警察找到了一些被他從電子相冊(cè)里刪除的照片，照片表明，他們?cè)?jīng)有過快樂的生活，但是，因?yàn)閰挓┝似拮悠鸢櫟哪?，他殺死她而不是和她離婚以避免離婚時(shí)的財(cái)產(chǎn)分割。他用一把磨利的小刀切碎一種貝殼，然后在滑板上錘打成粉末，最多1克就足以加速人的脈搏直到其死亡。這種毒藥可以追溯到公元前10，000年，當(dāng)時(shí)它就被涂抹在長予上殺死野獸。教授把這種毒藥混合在洋蔥、西瓜和酸奶里給他的妻子，后者叫喊、抓撓胸口、頭暈?zāi)垦?，很快就死了。在初步檢查之后，警察設(shè)想她是死于心臟病。但是系統(tǒng)的植物學(xué)分析卻表明，吐在凌亂的席子和被子上的西瓜有毒。敏銳而又技術(shù)嫻熟的警察不顧疲勞和饑餓，用放射性的設(shè)備確定了毒素的種類。盡管可供選擇的設(shè)備原始，且數(shù)量不足，他們還是設(shè)法取得了完美的準(zhǔn)確度。

人們都為警察歡呼鼓掌，而那位女人的家人現(xiàn)在也可以帶著欣慰為將來打算了。

41、A Courageous Amateur(勇敢的業(yè)余運(yùn)動(dòng)員)

He doomed to be a courageous champion.But, as his profile mentioned, he was in reality born unfit for such work.He majored in economics, and used to work as a receptionist, an accountant, a lawyer, and a politician.Producing scarfs, zips, underwear and overcoats, his successful company offered workers high wage and salary.People appreciated his tact, wisdom, virtue and noble deeds.But he attained spiritual satisfaction from none of these.Only conventional sports fascinated him, such as hurdling, boxing, triathlon, and diving from a springboard approximate meters high.He started his entire conception with bidding to accomplish the extremely tough marathon as an amateur.Through meditation, he used soul to urge himself and guide his body adjustment.Though he vomited every time he lunged or somersaulted, though his gymnastics was treated as juggling and caused laughter, he practised hard.He regretted that he didn’t start earlier.Therefore, his sacred motivation of devotion to sports was to live without repentance.(157 words/ 56 new)

他注定是一位勇敢的冠軍。但是，正如他簡歷中所提到的，他實(shí)際上從出生起就不太健康。他主修經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)，曾經(jīng)當(dāng)過招待員、會(huì)計(jì)、律師、還有政治家。他的公司很成功，生產(chǎn)圍巾、拉鏈、內(nèi)衣和外套，為工人提供高工資（薪水）。人們都很欣賞他的機(jī)敏、智慧、美德和高尚的行為。但是他卻沒有由此獲得精神上的滿足，只有那些傳統(tǒng)的運(yùn)動(dòng)才使他入迷，比如跨欄、拳擊、三項(xiàng)全能，還有從約10米高的跳板上一躍入水。他以業(yè)余運(yùn)動(dòng)員的身份申請(qǐng)完成極端艱難的馬拉松比賽，就此開始了他的整個(gè)計(jì)劃。通過冥想，他用精神推動(dòng)和調(diào)節(jié)身體。盡管他每次沖刺時(shí)都嘔吐不已，盡管他的體能訓(xùn)練總是被當(dāng)作耍把戲，引來笑話，他依然努力練習(xí)。他很后悔沒有更早開始鍛煉，因此，他全身心投入運(yùn)動(dòng)的神圣動(dòng)機(jī)就是：不后悔地生活。

42、A Hard Expedition 一次艱難的遠(yuǎn)征

In 1662, an expedition to the North Pole set loose from the equator.The Encyclopedia records the background to this exploration.After outward departure at dusk, the crew deposited their parcels and did their routine.But they couldn’t reckon the precise latitude.And the magnetic compass was awkward and not reliable.So they used horizon, celestial objects overhead, seaweed, tide and logs with a knotted rope as reference.To avoid being on a random course heading nowhere, they even sailed alongside cliffs, whose shortcomings were obvious.Gradually, the crew, who were at the mercy of the sea and roaring wind when offshore, lost way.The dilemma lasted long.Starvation and thirst caused psychological tension.Foreseeing the minimum chance of escaping the jaw of death, they ignored seabirds’ swooping to tear and peck them.With so many hardships and drawbacks, their survival was a miracle.This incident increased the tendency of a compulsory reform on nautical equipment for secure voyage.Portable equipment was simplified and updated.(164 words/61 new)

1662年，一支遠(yuǎn)征隊(duì)從赤道向北極出發(fā)，百科全書記載了這次探險(xiǎn)的背景。

船只在黃昏時(shí)分啟程，船員們放好包裹，開始執(zhí)行日常事務(wù)。但是他們無法計(jì)算準(zhǔn)確的緯度，磁性指南針也很難操作，不太可靠，因此，他們使用地平線、頭頂上的天體、海草、潮汐和綁有打結(jié)繩子的圓木做航線參考。為了避免過于隨意的航線把他們帶到不知名的地方，他們甚至還沿著懸崖航行，這樣做的據(jù)點(diǎn)是顯而易見的。

漸漸地，離開海岸后就完全受大海和呼嘯的風(fēng)主宰的船員們迷了路。這種困境持續(xù)了很長時(shí)間，饑餓和口渴引起了心理的緊張不安。因?yàn)轭A(yù)見到很難有（最低的）機(jī)會(huì)從鬼門關(guān)逃脫，他們連海鳥撲下來撕扯、啄食他們的身體都不理會(huì)。經(jīng)歷了那么多的艱難和險(xiǎn)阻，他們能夠培育幸存下來真是奇跡。

這一事件促進(jìn)了為了安全航海、必須革新航海設(shè)備的趨勢(shì)，便找攜設(shè)備由此得到了簡化和更新?lián)Q代。

43、Welcome to Australia(歡迎到澳洲來)Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the Australian Day celebration and enjoy the barbecue.Then our travel along the highway winding down the Cradle Mountain via rusty rock barriers will let you see huge enclosures.Farmers have completed sowing.Owing to adequate rainfall, you’ll enjoy the splendour of the superb tropical agriculture as well.The fortnight timetables are in the travel brochures.The Commonwealth of Australia has six autonomous states.The federal government is responsible for its defence, foreign policy and taxation.Most citizens of this nation are migrants from different birthplaces.Often corresponding with their homelands, they associate Oceania with the world.The aboriginal reservations used to shrink because the authority snatched the land.These desperate people owed their survival to tolerance.So, out of respect for their ancestors, every bachelor will be talked into learning to protect heir heritage.Australian ecology is unique.Amongst the creatures, some are dangerous.For example, if your limb is paralyzed by a venomous funnelweb spider, go to see a doctor before you become unconscious.Remember, vinegar can’t help you recover from the sickness.Thank you.(174 words/53 new)

女士們先生們：歡迎參加澳洲日慶典，請(qǐng)享受我們的燒烤野餐。接著我們就會(huì)沿著蜿蜓下?lián)u籃山的高速路，經(jīng)過銹色巖石屏障前行，你將會(huì)看見巨大的圍場(chǎng)。此外，農(nóng)民們已經(jīng)完成了播種，你還可以欣賞到充足降雨滋潤下宏偉的熱帶農(nóng)業(yè)所呈現(xiàn)的壯觀。我們兩星期的時(shí)間表在旅行手冊(cè)里有。

澳大利亞有6個(gè)自治州，聯(lián)邦政府負(fù)責(zé)防務(wù)、對(duì)外政策和稅收。這個(gè)國家大多數(shù)的公民都是來自不同出生地的移民。由于經(jīng)常與家鄉(xiāng)通信聯(lián)絡(luò)，他們把大洋洲與世界緊密聯(lián)系在一起。原著民的保留地曾經(jīng)大量縮減，因?yàn)楫?dāng)局搶走了他們的土地，這些絕望的人們把他們的得以幸存歸功于他們極大的忍耐力。因此，出于對(duì)祖先的尊敬，原著民中的每個(gè)單身漢都將被說服要學(xué)習(xí)如何保護(hù)他們珍貴的遺產(chǎn)。

澳大利亞的生態(tài)是獨(dú)一無二的。在當(dāng)?shù)氐纳镏?，有些是很危險(xiǎn)的。例如，如果你的肢體被漏斗蜘蛛單板機(jī)痹，一定要在失去意識(shí)前去看醫(yī)生。記住，醋是不能幫助你從這樣的疾病中康復(fù)的。謝謝大家！

44、The Exotic Plants from China(從中國來的外來植物)

When getting rid of the rotten weeds for the daisy in your courtyard or on your balcony with a spade, do you know it is an exotic plant? As a monument near a pyramid in Egypt shows, collecting exotic plants dates back to around ,00BC.In the th century, European missionaries and botanists anchored in the Yellow Sea and did their endeavor to collect typical Chinese plants on a large scale, such as dove trees which appealed to them very much.The difficulties they met included thunderstorms, restrictions on their movement and conflicts with pirates, who carried spears and never shaved their beards.Their fluency in Chinese helped them a lot.To lower the death rate of the plants, they used strings to fix plants in tightly sealed containers, which were attached to other goods and shipped back to distant Europe.However, a problem appeared.Among these plants, some gave out a delicate or fragrant odour to attract particular beetles or wasps.Some gave out a fruity or musty smell to attract certain bats and moths, while other odourless plants with dull petals used the nectar inside their tubes to attract humming-birds.Without these pollinators which evolved together with the plants to pollinate for them, most plants postponed to get ripe despite enough irrigation.(209 words/ 55 new)當(dāng)你用鏟子給你院子里或陽臺(tái)上的雛菊除去腐爛的雜草時(shí)，你知道它是外來植物嗎？ 正如一座埃及金字塔旁的紀(jì)念碑所記載，收集外來植物可追溯到公元前1500年。在18世紀(jì)，歐洲的植物學(xué)家在黃海拋錨停泊，努力大規(guī)模收集典型的中國植物，例如鴿子樹，就非常吸引他們。他們遇見的困難包括雷暴天氣，行動(dòng)的限制，還有與拿長矛、留胡子的海盜發(fā)生的沖突。好在流利的中文給了他們很大的幫助。為了降低植物的死亡率，他們用細(xì)繩把植物固定在緊緊密封的容器里，然后附加在別的貨物上運(yùn)回遙遠(yuǎn)的歐洲。

然而，有個(gè)問題出現(xiàn)了。在這些植物中，有些散發(fā)出微妙的或芬芳的氣味吸引特定的甲是或黃蜂，有些釋放出果味或霉味吸引某種蝙蝠或蛾，而另一些無味、花瓣顏色也不鮮明的動(dòng)植物則用他們花管中的花蜜引來蜂鳥。沒有這些與植物共同進(jìn)化的蟲媒來給它們授粉，即使給予充分的灌溉，這些植物還是大部分都延遲成熟了。

45、Beware of Advertisements（小心廣告）

Corporations all have budget for the expense of advertisements to promote sales.Billboards over lanes, stereo broadcast and television are their media.The sales partly rely on ads.However, not all advertisers have conscience.Thus, misleading, dishonest, or even immoral ads generated everywhere.They use visual technique to turn bad things, such as drinking litres of alcoholic drinks and smoking tobacco, into decent fashion, which, in fact, is murdering you slowly.Consumers have no use for these ads which don’t fit in(with)the ethics and should be banned to protect our ethical basis.Once, a mature actress was appointed to play a typist, wearing a casual garment in a typewriter ad.Her fluent statement informed the target audience of the feature that the suitcase-sized product could raise the speed of typing on sheets of paper.A hostess of a party was misled and bought one to type her invitations.Thought the spokesman of the producer apologized later, she felt offended, and the actress could never refresh her worthy fame.So, beware.If you see any untrustworthy ads, please dial the number of the Consumer Association.The operator will connect you to the chairman directly and give you response soon.(199 words/ 58 new)

公司企業(yè)都有做促銷廣告的費(fèi)用預(yù)算，車道上的廣告牌、立體聲廣播和電視都是他們的媒體。產(chǎn)品的銷售在一定程度上要依靠廣告。然而，不是所有的登廣告者都有道德心。這樣，誤導(dǎo)的、不誠實(shí)的、甚至不道德的廣告就到處產(chǎn)生了。他們用視覺上的技巧把喝酒、抽煙等壞的東西變成正派的時(shí)尚，實(shí)際上卻是對(duì)你的慢性謀殺。消費(fèi)者厭惡這些不符合道德的廣告，他們應(yīng)該被禁止，以保護(hù)我們的道德基礎(chǔ)。

一次，一位老練的女演員被指定在一個(gè)打印機(jī)廣告中扮演打字員，她穿著休閑服裝，用流利的表達(dá)告知目標(biāo)觀眾，這臺(tái)手提箱大小的產(chǎn)品具有能夠提高在紙張上打印速度的特點(diǎn)。有位要舉辦晚會(huì)的女主人被誤導(dǎo)了，購買了一臺(tái)拓印邀請(qǐng)函。盡管制造商的發(fā)言人人后來道了歉，她還是深感受傷，而且那位女演員也再無法恢復(fù)她原本可敬的名聲。所以，要小心。如果你看見了不可靠的廣告，請(qǐng)撥打消費(fèi)者協(xié)會(huì)的電話號(hào)碼，接線員將直接轉(zhuǎn)拉給協(xié)會(huì)主席，并盡快給你答復(fù)。

46、The stout captain（頑強(qiáng)的船長）

As the proverb said, nothing ventured, nothing gained.Hooked by the caption’s advertisement, the writer gave up his cosy life and grasped the chance to secretly get aboard the ship, which was full of spider webs.Luckily, being tactful, he was liked by the captain and, later, became a chef of no rank after overcoming seasickness.When the ship was crushed by ice, it was so urgent that there was no time to mourn.With God’s blessing, the stewards collected enough stoves, foods, and bedding.Foreseeing the unbearable suffering, the stout captain asked his men to swear to do as he advocated: keep cheerful and never give way to feeling discouraged.He also set out a fair framework for their life to reduce selfish deeds, odd behaviours or unfair punishment.His perseverance and optimism were vital to strengthen their faith of survival and morale.Then, without delay, having given his commitment to return, the captain selected loyal and dynamic stewards to bring help.Living in this freezing circumstance needed special caution and endurance.Booming blasts of wind, which the small huts couldn’t block out, made them breathless.Everyone suffered from sun-blindness and blackened rotten toes.They were bored with seal meat and liver, their regular and unchangeable food, which made their stool rather hard.Burning seal fat gave off black smoke which caused everyone to have hoarse voices.Anyhow, they survived and was filled with gratitude for their admirable captain.(233word/62new)

正如諺語所說：“不入虎穴，焉得虎子”，作者被那船長的廣告給迷住了，毅然放棄了舒適的生活，偷偷地抓住機(jī)會(huì)爬上滿是蜘蛛網(wǎng)的船。幸運(yùn)的是，船長喜歡他的言行得體，在克服了暈船后，他成為一名沒有銜職的廚師。

當(dāng)船被冰擠碎時(shí)，情況相當(dāng)緊急，根本沒有難過的時(shí)間。上帝保佑，乘務(wù)員們收集了足夠的爐子、食物和被褥。由于預(yù)見到難以忍受的艱難困苦，頑強(qiáng)的船長讓船員們發(fā)誓按他主張的那樣去做：保持愉快，永不向氣餒低頭讓步。他還為他們建立起公平的生活框架，以減少自私的行為、古怪的舉動(dòng)、或者不公平的懲罰。他的堅(jiān)持不懈我樂觀精神對(duì)增強(qiáng)船員生存的信念和士氣是至關(guān)重要的。接著，船長毫不遲延地挑選了5名忠實(shí)而又精力充沛的船員出發(fā)去尋求幫助，并許諾一定會(huì)回來救留下的人。

生活在這個(gè)嚴(yán)寒的環(huán)境里需要特別的小心和忍耐力。小棚屋阻擋不住發(fā)出轟隆聲的陣風(fēng)，讓他們幾乎喘不過氣來。人人都長了腐料變黑的腳趾，都煩透了海豹肉和海豹肝，這樣天天如此、一成不變的食物使他們便秘，而且燃燒海豹油散發(fā)出來的黑煙，使每個(gè)人的聲音都嘶啞不堪。

但是無論如何，所有人都幸存了下來，船長贏得了大家的欽佩和感激。

47、The Story Carved on an Armchair(刻在扶手椅上的故事)

After the bank confirmed the signature on behalf of the seller and cashed the cheque for him, the armchair belonged to Mr.White.He was very fond of this ancient opera prop found in a vacant storage of an old lord.Hoping to make a name by modernizing the ancient Latin carved on the armchair, he packed up his baggage and shortened his journey.His new terminal was home now.Though allergic to dust, he scratched away the dusty surface himself.Then, sneezing, he read an old story whose author was a famous play writer: Long ago, an old emperor wanted to hand over the burden of responsibility.He decided to allocate his kingdom to his three darling daughters.Whichever of them adored him most would get the best part.The deceitful flattery of the two elder greedy and cunning daughters won his trust.But the honest youngest daughter, though her father prayed that she would say something, responded that she had nothing special to say.Suspecting whether she really cared for him, the emperor redrew boundaries on the map and distributed nothing to her.Then, he drove his innocent little daughter to France, where she luckily met her bridegroom.Forecasting that the emperor was causing friction between him and his daughters, a loyal duke spoke out his opinion to oppose the decision.The emperor demanded that he leave and did not hear out his contradictions.After the emperor gave away the majesty, his two daughters and their staff became disrespectful to him.They insulted him and scolded that his troops were corrupt and filled with drunken soldiers, which was not true.Finally, the youngest daughter came back and defeated her two sisters on the frontier.She put the old emperor back on his throne.And the loyal duke’s sacrifice was rewarded.This story was adapted to so wonderful a film that it is, beyond question , worth rewinding to see a second time.(316words/65new)

在銀行代表賣方確認(rèn)了簽名并兌現(xiàn)了支票，扶手椅就屬于懷特先生了。他非常喜歡這件歌劇用的古老道具，它是在一位老地主空蕩蕩的儲(chǔ)藏室里發(fā)現(xiàn)的。帶著通過把扶手椅上雕刻的古拉丁文譯成現(xiàn)代（化）文而成名的希望，他立刻收拾行李，縮短行程，現(xiàn)在，他的新終點(diǎn)站是回家。盡管對(duì)灰塵過敏，他還是親自刮去滿是灰塵的表層，接著，他一邊不住地打噴嚏，一邊讀到了一篇古老的故事，作者是一位著名的戲劇作家：

很久以前，有位年老的國王想要移交責(zé)任的重?fù)?dān)，決定將他的王國分給三個(gè)親愛的女兒，哪個(gè)最愛他，哪個(gè)就獲得最好的一份。兩個(gè)貪婪而狡猾的大姐用不誠實(shí)的恭維騙得了他的信任。但是誠實(shí)的小女兒在父親的懇求下卻回答說她說不出什么特別的話。因?yàn)閼岩伤欠裾娴年P(guān)心自己，國王重新在地圖上畫邊界，沒有分給她任何東西，然后把自己無辜的小女兒趕到法國。幸運(yùn)的是，她在法國遇見了后來成為她新郎的人。由于預(yù)見到國王在自己和女兒之間引發(fā)了矛盾，一位忠心耿耿的公爵大膽說出了反對(duì)意見。國王沒有聽完他反駁的話就命令把他趕出了自己的國界。

在國王把王權(quán)送出之后，他的兩個(gè)女兒和手下卻開始不尊敬他了。他們侮辱他，責(zé)罵他的軍隊(duì)既腐敗，又整天喝得醉熏熏，但這其實(shí)都不是真的。

最后，小女兒回來打敗了她的兩個(gè)姐姐，把年邁的國王又扶上了王位，公爵的犧牲也獲得了回報(bào)。

這個(gè)故事后來被改編成了電影，如此精彩的電影是毫無疑問值得倒回來再看第二遍的。

48、Fighting Against Racial Discrimination(與種族歧視做斗爭)

Without the liberty to register to vote, blacks used to be dominated by whites.Even the almighty God seemed to lose sight of their prayers, so they resolved to fight against racial discrimination themselves.One day, a black woman was arrested for having committed offence to white people when she was unwilling to submit the unjust separation tradition, which prohibited blacks from sitting in the white people’s seats on trolleybuses.This event was seized on by blacks to carry out a nationwide boycott against the trolleybus company.Johnson, who was hopeful to transform his town into an oasis of equality and happiness, put on his sandals and hurried out.He was going to negotiate with the company.“Being punctual” was the creed he always lived out.Saluting the pedestrians marching on the pavement, he ignored the evident hostility, or even abuse, from some white people to avoid collision.His philosophy was that, one day, whites and blacks would play a beautiful symphony of brotherhood together.By coincident, he met Tom, who was skimming the latest newspaper.He quoted the newspaper to tell Johnson that the Supreme Court had declared that the separation was not constitutional.Just like a bomb, his words caused a brief chaos, then a great cheer in the crowds.They knew they had won a fundamental victory in the battle for civil rights.(219words/49new)

因?yàn)闆]有登記選舉的自由，黑人曾經(jīng)處于被白人統(tǒng)治支配的地位，就連萬能的上帝似乎也無視他們的祈禱，因此，他們決心靠自己和種族歧視做斗爭。

有一天，一位黑人婦女因?yàn)椴辉阜脑跓o軌電車上禁止黑人坐白人位子的不公平隔離慣例而冒犯了白人，受到逮捕。黑人們抓住這一事件開展了針對(duì)電車公司的全國抵制運(yùn)動(dòng)。

滿懷希望把小鎮(zhèn)改變成平等、幸福樂土的約翰遜穿上他的涼鞋，匆忙趕了出去，他要去和電車公司談判，守時(shí)一向是他堅(jiān)持的信條。他一邊向人行道上前進(jìn)的步行者致敬，一邊不理會(huì)一些白人明顯的敵意，甚至是辱罵，以避免引起沖突。他的人生觀告訴他，白人和黑人總有一天會(huì)一起演奏一曲美妙的手足之歌（交響樂）。

很巧，他遇見了湯姆，他正在瀏覽最新的報(bào)紙。他告訴約翰遜，最高法院已經(jīng)宣布隔離是不符合憲法的。他的話就象一顆炸彈，在人群中引起一陣短暫的混亂，然后是大聲的歡呼。他們知道，他們贏得了公民權(quán)斗爭的基本勝利。

49、Don’t Assess one by His Appearance（不要以貌取人）

It’s frequent that we tend to assess one by his appearance, which is not always accurate.Once, in spite of our great endeavour, the technology adopted by my brewery couldn’t efficiently prevent the beer component from going bad when the temperature was beneath degrees centigrade.So I went to attend a seminar in New Zealand to find someone to consult.I previewed the seminar manual in detail, and decided that, among all the names listed underneath the caption, Dr.Smith, a famous technician and educator, was the competent one.Learning that I didn’t prepare local currency at the airport, a blind man asked me to share a cab with him to the Lotus Hotel.He was in shabby clothes.And his vague oral English confused me a lot.His bag was in such a messy situation inside—recipes for cuisine, tickets for ballet shows, albums, cassettes and so on, all were mixed up.Luckily, resembling other blind people, his auditory and tactile senses were acute.However, later at the seminar, I learned that he was that famous Dr.Smith.The speeches were tiresome except Dr.Smith’s.After the seminar, he presented me a booklet with a picture of bent rainbow on the cover, and said that it was up to me to digest the advanced technology and carry it out.Finally, we succeeded.Besides the concrete technology, my acquisition of the knowledge about how to judge people was a bonus from Dr.Smith.(244words/45new)

我們時(shí)常會(huì)傾向于根據(jù)外來來評(píng)定一個(gè)人，這并不總是準(zhǔn)確的。

有一回，盡管做了極大的努力，我的啤酒廠采用的技術(shù)總不能在溫度低于10攝氏度時(shí)有效地防止啤酒成分變質(zhì)。因此，我去新西蘭參加了一場(chǎng)研討會(huì)，想找個(gè)人請(qǐng)教。我事先詳細(xì)查看了研討會(huì)手冊(cè)并決定，在標(biāo)題下開列的名字中，史密斯博士，著名的技術(shù)師和教育家，就是能勝任的人。

在機(jī)場(chǎng)，有位盲人得知我沒有準(zhǔn)備當(dāng)?shù)氐呢泿藕螅?qǐng)我和他坐同一輛出租車到蓮花灑店。他身穿破舊的衣服，含糊的口頭英語讓我總是聽不清楚，而且他的包里也雜亂得很——烹飪菜譜、芭蕾表演的門票、相冊(cè)、磁帶等等，都混雜在一起。所幸的是，他和別的盲人一樣，有敏銳的聽覺和觸覺。然而，后來在研討會(huì)上，我卻得知，他就是那位著名的史密斯博士。

除了史密斯博士，其他人的演說都令人厭倦。會(huì)后，他送給我一本封面上有道彎彎彩虹的小冊(cè)子，說，接下來由我自己好好理解消化這先進(jìn)的技術(shù)并付諸實(shí)施。我們最終成功地解決了啤酒廠的問題。

除了有形的技術(shù)，獲得如何判斷人的知識(shí)是史密斯博士贈(zèng)送的又一件特別獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。

50、Betty was not the Burglar（貝蒂不是竊賊）

Betty, the black heroine of this book, was sensible, generous, outspoken and was never hopeless.Because her growth in a bungalow with a semicircle roof was a miserable experience, she had determined to struggle against prejudice and injustice since childhood.She got round all obstacles and did everything in her power to stand out, though black people were thought ill of and so many limitations were in force at that time.34

Her initial job was keeping goods in sequence in a warehouse for storing bargains, which was possessed by an arrogant and eccentric merchant.He was so skeptical and sensitive that any try to win his trust was in vain.He always said he could see through any deception.One morning, while inspecting, the merchant found some goods were lost.When enquired, Betty denied straight away that she was the burglar.But he discounted her words and insulted her with ironic words.The fact was twisted.Betty declined to make any concession against her will.Her explicit contradiction helped her win other staffs’ approval.At length, they reached a consensus that the merchant should admit his fault.When giving his ambiguous apology, suddenly, the merchant heard something squeaking, and felt a claw in his collar.He fell down on a bench with terror.When he hastily pulled himself up, everyone present saw a squirrel dangling on the chain connecting the warehouse with a pine tree.That was the burglar.The revelation of this event led to Betty’s becoming a famous writer and critic.In her early works of different literary genres under the name of Betty, she recounted this experience as vividly as a romance.She rejoiced to be the premier sponsor of “the Movement for Equality”.Wherever she went, her appearance always signalled the crowd to hail her achievement.(305words/73new)

貝蒂，本書的女主角，是一位明智、慷慨、坦言，而從不感到絕 望的黑人。她成長在一間有半圓形屋頂?shù)钠椒坷铮鞘且欢瓮纯嗟慕?jīng)歷。正因如此，她自童年起就下定決心與對(duì)黑人的偏見和不公平做斗爭。盡管當(dāng)時(shí)對(duì)黑人的評(píng)價(jià) 不好，也存在那么多的限制，她還是克服了所有的障礙，竭盡全力出類拔萃。

她的第一份工作是在一間儲(chǔ)存便宜貨的倉庫負(fù)責(zé)將貨物按順序擺放整齊，這間倉庫由一位傲慢古怪的商人擁有。他是如此地多疑和敏感，任何想爭取他信任的努力都是徒勞的。他總是說他能看穿任何詭計(jì)。

一天早晨，在視察的時(shí)候，商人發(fā)現(xiàn)有些貨物丟失了。當(dāng)詢問到貝蒂時(shí)，她立即否認(rèn)她是竊賊。但是她不相信她的話，還有諷刺的語言侮辱她。事實(shí)被扭曲了。貝蒂拒絕做聘書任何違心的讓步，她清楚明確的反駁幫助她贏得了其他同事的支持，最后，他們達(dá)成了共識(shí)：商人應(yīng)該承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤。

當(dāng)商人含糊其詞地道歉時(shí)，突然，他聽到什么東西吱吱地叫著，并且感覺到一只爪子伸進(jìn)他的衣領(lǐng)。他嚇得倒在長凳上。當(dāng)他驚慌失措地站起來時(shí)，在場(chǎng)的人都看見一只松鼠正懸掛在連接倉庫和一棵松樹的鎖鏈上。那才是竊賊呢！

這次事件給予貝蒂的啟示，最終導(dǎo)致了她成為一位著名的作家和評(píng)論家，在她早期以貝蒂的名字出版的各種文學(xué)體裁的作品中，她都把這次經(jīng)歷敘述得如浪漫故事般生 動(dòng)。她非常樂意被尊為“平等運(yùn)動(dòng)”的第一發(fā)起人，無論走到哪里，她的出現(xiàn)都是引來人們熱烈歡呼的信號(hào)。

他遇到了許多困難，但是從未停止，相反，困難推動(dòng)他更努力地前進(jìn)。三個(gè)月后，當(dāng)他被一艘船偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)時(shí)，真的是衣衫襤褸。給他端來牛排和菠蘿甜品的女仆甚至被嚇得尖叫起來。在船上，他當(dāng)一名理發(fā)師來掙取船費(fèi)，最后終于回到了家。至于這部小說的名字，他再也不能想到一個(gè)比“前進(jìn)”更好的短語了。

Explore MKII 探測(cè)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 people’s puzzles.Now that there are some suitable conditions, does life really existon this globe? Do they multiply by laying eggs or givingbirth to babies? Last month, a spaceship was sent there.It’s a pity that this missionfailed.Unlike the earth,MKII 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 thes paceship from crashing in time.MK二號(hào)是一顆幾十億公里外的行星，它在許多宗教里都是生命起源的地方。物理學(xué)家已經(jīng)證明了它溫和的氣候和重力的牽引都和地球相似的理論；天文學(xué)家也通過衛(wèi)星，在它的大氣層里發(fā)現(xiàn)了氧原子和二氧化碳的存在，這些都是對(duì)生命來說，都是基本的。受到這一消息的鼓舞，生物學(xué)家們接著開始了研究以解開人們的迷惑——既然有了適合的條件，生命真的存在于這個(gè)星球嗎？他們是通過下蛋，還是產(chǎn)仔來繁殖后代的呢？

上個(gè)月，一艘太空飛船被派到了那兒?？上У氖?，這次任務(wù)失敗了。不像地球，MK二號(hào)是一顆年輕得多的行星。因此，大團(tuán)大團(tuán)的有害酸云到處漂浮，引起猛烈的連鎖反應(yīng)的爆發(fā)。這些云團(tuán)不僅阻擋了飛行員的視線，而且還損壞了發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)系統(tǒng)。幸運(yùn)的是，飛行員小心注意，才及時(shí)阻止了飛船的墜毀。

A Journey across Canada 橫穿加拿大的旅行

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 minutes.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.去年秋天的一次考試后，光向東橫穿整個(gè)大陸，來到多倫多探望他的同學(xué)，這次旅行的距離測(cè)量起來大約有五千多公里。

他的火車從群山圍繞的溫哥華啟程。在證實(shí)了自己的行李都在火車上之后，光就在座位上安坐下來。因?yàn)樵谂c人交流方面有天賦，他在5分鐘內(nèi)就和另一個(gè)乘客聊起天來。他們的話題包括加拿大的傳統(tǒng)、加拿大的總理、種族的混合，還有讓人心驚膽戰(zhàn)的大瀑布。中午吃了一頓美味的自助餐后，他很高興發(fā)現(xiàn)外面的風(fēng)景非常讓人印象深刻。他看見了遠(yuǎn)處美麗的海港、富裕的市區(qū)，還有延綿幾千畝的楓樹林，他甚至還設(shè)法看見了一只在灌木叢上空翱翔的鷹。

光在一個(gè)薄霧籠罩的黎明到達(dá)稍稍接近邊境的多倫多，地上有霜，寬闊的市區(qū)街道很安靜。盡管還很早，光卻不愿等待，立刻就在附近電話亭給同學(xué)打了個(gè)電話。他們?cè)谝黄鸲冗^了美好的時(shí)光。

A Woman Doctor Lina 女醫(yī)生麗娜

Born in a pigs’ nest, Lina led a poor life in her childhood.She was looked down upon by the children of her generation.But she intended to become a doctor after she came across Lin Qiaozhi by chance, who was delivering medical courses to an audience crowding around her.Before moving off, Lin inspired her to carry on her study.With Lin’s support, Lina entered an institute and studied hard sparing no time for entertainment.Her being outspoken and modest won respect for her.Her excellent arguing skills and observation ability put others into the shade.Now, Lina has become a specialist in human beings’ emergency sickness.Her kindness and considerate behavior to the poor were well known.The organization she founded carried out campaigns and welfare projects to help cut the death rate for the poor.Her job was hard but worthwhile.She often refers to the connection between her achievement and Lin Qiaozhi, and says that her poor childhood is the bond between her and the poor.麗娜出生在豬圈里，童年過著貧窮的生活，被和她同輩的孩子看不起。但是在她偶然遇見了林巧芝之后卻打定注意想要成為一名醫(yī)生，當(dāng)時(shí)林巧芝正在給擁擠在她身邊的觀眾傳授醫(yī)療課程，在離開之前，林巧芝鼓舞她繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持學(xué)習(xí)。在林的支持下，麗娜進(jìn)入了一所學(xué)院。她努力學(xué)習(xí)，毫不浪費(fèi)時(shí)間玩鬧娛樂。她的坦誠和謙虛為她贏得了尊敬，她優(yōu)秀的辯論技巧和觀察能力使其他的人都黯然失色。

現(xiàn)在，麗娜已經(jīng)成為一名人類緊急病癥專家。她對(duì)窮人的好心和考慮周到的一舉一動(dòng)都眾所周知，她建立的組織開展各種活動(dòng)和福利項(xiàng)目來為窮人減少死亡率。她的工作艱苦卻很值得。她常常提到她的成就和林巧芝之間的聯(lián)系，還總是說她貧窮的童年就是她與窮人之間的紐帶。
