He said the had found it on thecurb when he hopped off his school bus.st Wednesday, my classmates Caroline and I visited Zhouzhuang, a well-known townlooped all around by streams. When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had started a flock of ducks not too far from us. Now as Caroline was dying for a boat ride, we decided to tour the town by boat. Now loud, no soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at a the boats gliding over the water in silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed everything minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic of the large city. .Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I’d like to go there again.T ext BComprehension Check1. c2. b3. d4. d5. c6. bLanguage Practice1.1）b 2) h 3) e 4) g 5) c 6) d 7) f 8) a21)embarked on2)at the foot of3)to live up to4)refreshing5)glimpse6)would/will hit the road7)emigrated8)snatched9)wind/snake its way10)in action11)pop in12)is geared to / towards1. DictationMy companions decided to hire horses and go up into the mountains but I thought I would rather walk around the lake. So we parted and I set off walking. I got about halfway around the lake when the night caught up with me and I needed a place to stay. At times there was no road and I had to walk in the water along the shore to avoid obstacles on the shore. Therefore by nighttime I was wet and hungry, not to speak of being exhausted.Not far, I noticed a few wooden houses on pillars above the water, connected with the shore by a long narrow wooden bridge. I walked over the bridge and soon a couple of people came out to greet me. They did not speak Chinese, therefore there was no other way of communicating than with signs and friendly nods, which worked just fine. I forget to which ethnic group these people belonged but they were kind and friendly. I sat down inside of a dark room with a fire in the middle and they offered me tea.The tea was unforgettable. It was brewed in a tiny little lidless pot with some grass in it that was placed directly into the fire. A few times they poured salt into this “tea” as one would pour sugar into coffee. The result was intolerably salty and definitely did not quench my thirst. But I made a friendly face and from time to time sipped from my tiny cup as we continued to gaze into the fire. Obviously, there was no conversation between us, since there was no common language.2.Translate the following into Englishbathe in the riverwith open delightfree-lane writerafter a pausepart-Indian guide3.Translate the following sentences into English1)Green fireflies spattered lights across the air and illumined for seconds, now here, now there,the pale trunks of enormous, solitary trees.2)All at once, in the thatch house across the clearing behind us came the sound of a recorder,playing a tune that twined over the village clearing, muted our talk on the bankside, andwandered over the river, dissolving downstream.3)We are here on the planet only once, and might as well get a feel for the place.4)He aimed brilliantly at moving targets, always, and always missed; the birds were out ofrange.5)The Napo River: it is not out of the way.
