In those days wandering minstrels were welcome everywhere. They were notfighting men, and their harp was their passport. Alfred had learned many of their ballads in his youth, and could vary his programme with acrobatic tricks and simple conjuring.阿尔弗雷德大帝曾亲自充当间谍。

While Alfred's little army slowly began to gather at Athelney, the king himself set out to penetrate the camp of Guthrum, the commander of the Danish invaders. There had settled down for the winter at Chippenham: thither Alfred went.

But there are some parts of the world where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas -- legends handed down from one generation of storytellers to another. These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did. Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago. But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from.Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rotted away. Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace.New words and expressions 生词与短语fossil man (title)adj. 化石人Recountv. 叙述Sagan. 英雄故事Legendn. 传说，传奇Migrationn. 迁移，移居Anthropologistn. 人类学家Archaeologistn. 考古学家Ancestorn. 祖先Polynesianadj.波利尼西亚(中太平洋之一群岛)的Indonesian. 印度尼西亚Flintn. 燧石Rotn. 烂掉本文参考译文我们从书籍中可读到5,000 年前近东发生的事情，那里的人最早学会了写字。

新概念英语第四册第九课
新概念英语第四册第九课The Beauty of Imperfection.Imperfection, a constant and inevitable presence in our lives, is often perceived as a negative attribute. Westrive to eliminate it, seeking perfection in every aspect of our existence. However, the quest for perfection can be exhausting and, ironically, often leads us further away from it. What if, instead of shunning imperfection, we embraced it? What if we saw it as a beautiful and necessary part of the human experience?Imperfection is what makes us unique. It is what区分s us from each other, giving us our individuality and character. No two people are perfectly alike, and this diversity is what makes the world such a rich and fascinating place. Our imperfections are what make us stand out, they are our signatures, our personal stamps on the world.Imperfection is also a driving force for growth and change. It encourages us to improve, to strive for better. Without imperfection, there would be no need for progress, no incentive to excel. Imperfection reminds us that we are never static, that we are always evolving, always becoming something new.Moreover, imperfection is a reminder of our humanity. It is a reminder that we are not machines, but flawed and fragile beings. This recognition can lead us to be more compassionate and understanding towards others. When we accept our own imperfections, we are more likely to accept the imperfections of others, fostering a sense of unity and understanding in place of judgment and criticism.Embracing imperfection can also lead to a deeper sense of fulfillment and happiness. The constant pursuit of perfection can leave us feeling empty and dissatisfied, as if something is always missing. By contrast, accepting and even celebrating our imperfections can give us a sense of peace and contentment. We can learn to appreciate what we have, rather than always focusing on what we lack.In conclusion, imperfection is not something to be ashamed of or hidden away. It is a part of us, a part of our humanity that should be celebrated and cherished. By embracing imperfection, we can discover a deeper sense of self, a sense of growth and progress, and a sense of connection with others. Imperfection, in its beauty and complexity, is a vital part of the human experience, and one that we should embrace with open arms.。
