The Forbidden Fruit（禁果）
When God created the world the man was quite alone. Seeing this, God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make a good companion for him.” He caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and took one of his ribs, and out of this rib, he made a woman. We call this man Adam and this woman Eve. God let Adam and Eve rule the earth and enjoy it. Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden in peace and happiness! The animals came to them when they called them; the birds sang above their heads as they walked; and the fish came to the side of the lake to watch them as they stood in the sunlight. What a happy Garden this was! What a peaceful Paradise this was! But this happy and peaceful life did not last long. The Bible tells us a strange story which fills our eyes with tears. And this is that strange story which the Bible tells us. God had given man everything on the earth except one thing. There was one thing which man was not to do. If man did this one thing, he would lose all his peace and all his happiness. And man did do this very thing. The one thing man was not to do was to eat of the fruit growing on a certain tree in the Garden of Eden. There were a thousand other of which man might eat, but only this one was forbidden. It was God’s test of ma n’s love. If man loved God, he would not eat of this tree; if he did not love God, he would disobey. So, you see, this was God’s test of man’s love. Well, Satan, the wicked Tempter, took the form of a serpent and glided into the Garden of Eden, and sought out Eve while she was away from her husband’s side, and suggested to her that she should eat of the fruit. And, although Eve did not at once obey him, she argued with him, instead of driving him from her. So the temptation to eat the fruit stayed in her mind; she allowed herself to think about it ; and at last the temptation was too great for her. She ate the fruit, and took it to Adam, and persuaded him also to do this forbidden thing. Then Adam and Eve heard the voice of God, and they were afraid and hid themselves in the trees. And God punished them. But the punishment was not a cruel one. He made them go out of the Garden of Eden and toil for their existence. Now, though work is hard, it is yet far better than idleness; and in setting man to till the earth, God has provided him with the opportunity of becoming better and kinder and purer. Have you ever seen a picture of Adam and Eve going out with tears and shame from their beautiful Garden of Innocence? And did you ever notice that over
them the face of God was smiling with love and pity? God knows that His children shall one day return to their garden and to Him.
The Tower of Babel（巴比塔）
We are told that in the beginning of the world all the people lived in one place. By and by, that part of the earth became very crowded, and many families began to move from place to place, looking for new homes. All the people moved into a country between two great rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates. Here they found that the soil could be made into bricks, and that the bricks could be heated and made hard. So it was easy to build houses to live in. Then they wanted to build a great city and rule all the people around them. The people said to one another: "Let us build a great tower, the top of which will reach to the sky. And let us give a name to our city, that we may be kept together and not scattered over the earth." So they began to build their great tower with bricks, which they piled up one story above another. But God did not wish all the people on the earth to live close together. God knew that if they all lived together, those that were wicked would lead away from God those that were good, and all the world would become evil again, as it had been before the flood. So while they were building the great tower, God caused their speech to change. At that time all men were speaking the same language. But now they could not understand one another. The people that belonged to one family could not understand those of another family----just as, at the present time, the English cannot talk to the French until they have learned the French language. So the people scattered to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west, and the earth became covered with many people, living in many lands and speaking many languages. Thus the tower stayed forever unfinished, and the city which they had built was named Babel, which means confusion, because it was there that God changed the language of all the earth. The city was afterward known as Babylon, and the tower as the Tower of Babel.
英语短文欣赏
相辅相成Complementing Each Other
In the past, a man bragged about his how: “There is no bow better than mine. It doesn’t need any arrow!”
从前，有个人自夸他的弓，说：“我的弓嘛，没有比这更好的了，好得不需要用什么箭的！”
Anther man bragged about his arrow: “There is no arrow better than mine. It doesn’t need any bow!”
也有人在夸他的箭，说：“我的箭，没有比这更好了，好得用不着什么弓了！”At that time, a man good at archery happened to pass by and heard their dialogue. He said: “You are both wrong. One cannot shoot an arrow without a bow; and without an arrow, how can one hit the
target?”
这时候，恰好有一个会射箭的人从他们身边走过，听到他们的这段对话，就说：“你们俩个人的话都不对。

没有弓，发不出箭，没有箭，怎么能射中目标呢？”Thereupon, the man good at archery asked them to take out their bow and arrow. Then he showed them how to shoot at the target with a bow and an arrow.
说完后，会射箭的人还叫他们把弓和箭都拿出来，射箭给他们看。

Now they understood: A bow won’t do without an arrow’ nor an arrow without a bow. They complement each other.
他们这才明白：弓不能离开箭，箭也离不开弓，两者相辅相成。

wear表示穿戴的状态。

She likes to wear the light green dress . 她喜欢穿浅绿色的衣服。

32.take care of, look after
take care意为“注意”，“当心”，“留心”。

可以单独使用，也可以跟不定式或that从句。

Take care!The ice is thin。

当心!冰很薄。

take care of意为“照顾”，“照料”，侧重于负有责任这一层意思，后面的宾语从句可以是人，也可以是某物，比较口语化。

Please take care of my house。

请照看一下我的家。

look after 一般情况下可替换take care of，在意思上强调看管或照料，其宾语可以是物，但多数情况下是人或动物。

Will you look after my dog?请照看一下我的狗好吗?
33.whether，if
这两个连词都作“是否”解，引导宾语从句时，两者通常可以互换。

但在下列几种情况下，不可用if 代替whether。

1)当whether 与or not连成词组时。

I don 't know whether or not they will come for our help。

我不知道他们是否来帮助我们。

2)whether 用在不定式前面时。

She hasn 't decided whether to go or not。

either用在否定句的句末，表示"也"的意思。

either...or.。

意为"或者……或者……;不是……就是……"之意。

表示两者之一，连接句子中两个并列的成分。

either...or.。

连接两个主语时，其谓语动词应与最近的一个主语在人称和数上保持一致，这就是我们通常说的"就近原则"。

Either you or I am going there tomorrow。

明天要么你去那里，要么我去那里。

neither作主语，表示“两者中没有一个”。

Neither of them likes football. 他们俩都不喜欢足球。

neither...nor.。

表示“既不……也不……”。

其含义是否定的，可连接任意两个并列的成份。

She likes neither butter nor cheese. 她既不喜欢黄油也不喜欢乳酪。

当neither...nor.。

连接两个主语时，也应遵循“就近原则”。

例如：Neither dad nor mum is at home today. 今天父母都不在家。

若将neither...nor.。

句型变为肯定句，只需把neither...nor.。

改为both...and.。

即可，同时谓语动词必须用复数形式。

例如： Both dad and mum are at home today. 今天父母都在家。

Remember when a trip to the supermarket was nothing more than a boring thing requiring little or no specialized knowledge? You could send your kids into a cart while you did shopping. You always bought the same brands, usually the brands your mother bought. You didn’t know about unit pricing, and furthermore, you didn’t care. It never occurred to you to read the labels on anything. After all, you’ d bought these things a hundred times.
But now, I really look on those days with a feeling of yearn （怀旧). How innocent we were! How carefree were those trips to the supermarket. No worries. Today a trip to the supermarket is filled with social influence. Every time I buy pork chops I think about the years I’ m shaving from my life. I keep a careful eye on the freshness date and examine the tamper - proof packaging. I am victim of that most dangerous social disease: shoppers’ panic.
I didn’t realize how serious my condition had become u ntil the last time I needed laundry soap. It seemed simple enough. Just run into the market, grab a box of the old reliable and pay for it. I hadn’t planned on discovering Ecover, a new brand of laundry soap. It sat quietly on the shelf right next to my ol d reliable. “Healthy, hentle but effective.” My respect for it deepened with each new claim as I read the entire package. Then I looked at the price: $5.69 for2 pound. $5.69!
I cast a quick glance at the old reliable, still on sale for $ 1.39 Six bucks for laundry soap! These people must be crazy! Who’s going to pay six bucks for laundry soap? It’s not as though I can’t afford it. See, it’s concentrated—use less, get more. BUT SIX BUCKS! And the box is made from recycled materials.... This act went on for a solid half hour, after which I left the shelf without any soap at all. Surely the meat department is most threatening place. Remember what protein was good for you? That’ s all over. Every bite you take kills you. I won’ t even mention meat’ s moral influ ence.
When all is said and done, we still must eat. I gather up my healthy -cooking oil and my recycled paper towels and head to the checkout counter.

From building city skylines to keeping streets clean, migrant workers have provided the important labor needed to power the country’s rapid urbanization and economic growth.
There are reportedly about 200 million of such migrants who have traveled from rural areas to work in cities, with the number expected to continue rising.
To help the workers, some cities have been rolling out a number of measures to improve lives in areas ranging from housing and education, to medical services and counseling (咨询).
Take Shanghai for example. This financial and economic center faces mounting pressure to improve services for residents and a rising migrant population.
By t he end of last year, the number of the city’s
farmers-turned-migrant workers hit 4 million, making up about 17 percent of Shanghai’s total population.
The number of migrants who were employed last year reached 3.91 million, a 7.2 percent increase over the previous year. The employment
rate of migrant workers in the city rose to 97.1 percent, official figures showed.
In response to the surge (猛增) in population, the local authorities are planning to help migrants get better access to housing, medical services and education for their children.
Migrant workers will get free services to infectious disease prevention and treatment, children’s vaccinations and maternity (产妇的) care, the municipal government has said.
Bao Danru, director of the city’s labor a nd social security bureau, said Shanghai has also stepped up efforts to establish a social welfare system for these workers.
In 2002, the city launched an insurance scheme for its migrant workers. Employers are required to contribute to pensions for the workers as well as cover work-related injuries and health insurance.
Currently, 3.3 million migrant workers in Shanghai are covered under this scheme, a number that is expected to rise to 3.6 million by the end of the year, officials said.
39. According to the passage, we know that migrant workers _____.
A. go to cities either to build tall buildings or to keep streets clean
B. are moving to cities to enjoy larger houses and better education
C. contribute more to the construction of cities than the local people

A. the children of migrant workers get free education
B. migrant workers are kept from work-related injuries
C. migrant workers get paid regularly as a retirement benefit
D. more migrant workers flow into the city and settle down
41. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

D. Never look down upon migrant workers
