Unit 1 LifestylesWarm-upTapescript1 Football player: Being famous isn’t easy, you know. I travela lot – I have matches in different countries. But my job is exciting, very exciting! I love the matches, the people cheering, know what I mean2 Student: My dad says these are the best days of my life –but I’m not so sure! You know, I’ve got lots of work to do and there’s not much time really. I also play football for the school team and we have to do training three nights a week.3 Shepherd: I love the animals and I love nature. It’s peaceful, and there’s no one to tell me what to do. But it’s not so good when the weather’s bad!4 Business manager: I’m very busy, and I don’t have time to see my husband and children. Mmmm and my life is very stressful, I suppose. I mean, I have to deal with lots of money. But I find it really exciting.1 A Perfect DayA Couch PotatoForty-three-year-old Brian Blakey from Birmingham is sitting on his sofa and telling me about his perfect day.When I wake up I don't get up immediately. I turn on the television and watch the children's programmes and old movies until about half-past ten. Then I get up, go downstairs and switch on the TV in the living room. For lunch, I have biscuits and a glass of milk, and I watch the news. In the afternoon, I often watch another old film –they're showing some good ones at the moment. In the evenings, I often watch TV series or sport and the news again. I like the main news at six o'clock. At nine thirty, if there is a good play on BBC 2, I switch over and watch it. Then at night, I watch more films and I usually switch off the TV at about two o'clock. I never watch TV all night.I watch TV for sixteen or seventeen hours a day. I also do some exercise every day. I take Tina, the dog, for a walk every afternoon. I don't go far, of course. I walk to the wall outside my house. I always take my portable TV and I sit on the stone wall while the dog walks round in a circle.Of course, I couldn't live this lifestyle without a good wife. She's not here now because she's working, but she always makes my meals. We haven't got much money, you know, but we're happy. Sit down and watch TV. Here's the remote control. You've got the world at your feet. And in your hand. Great!A WorkaholicThirty-six-year-old Bob Black is sitting at his desk and working his way through his paperwork. I normally wake up about five minutes before my alarm clock goes off. As soon as I hear my alarm clock, I jump out of my bed. It takes me less than fifteen minutes to wash, get changed, have breakfast, leave home and get on a bus.I am always the first person to get to the office. The mornings are always very busy and the afternoons are even busier! Meetings and phone calls take up a large part of the day. Every minute of the day is filled with urgent matters. By around eight o'clock, I usually find some time to do my own paperwork and answer some personal e-mails.When I get home at about ten, I look at some documents that I bring back from the office so that I can be ready for the nextday's work. I get to bed around midnight when my wife and children are already asleep.I seldom have time for fun and other activities with my family. My family complains about it.But I try to work hard so that I can make more money for them. Besides, I get bored if there's nothing to do. I like being busy.2 RelaxingTapescriptPresenter: Good morning and welcome to Lifestyles. Today we're going to look at stress –what causes it and what we can do to relax and prevent it. We have in the studio Dr Klinsmann, an expert on stress. Good morning, DrKlinsmann.Doctor: Good morning.Presenter: Dr Klinsmann … er … what kinds of people often suffer from stressDoctor: Well, anybody can suffer from stress. There are certain jobs that are very stressful, like some jobs in businessor the police. But, probably everyone suffers from stress at some time in their life –students, doctors, factory workers–anybody.Presenter: But, what really causes itDoctor: There are different reasons. One is time and the pressures of work and study. At school, for example, students can become very stressed when they have a lot of homework to do and they feel they haven't got enough time to do it all. Other reasons can be social –if you have a problem with your family or friends or at school. And it has something to do with the person –if you're shy, social situations like parties can be very stressful too.Presenter: And what can you do to stop stress and worry Because stress is very bad for you, isn't itDoctor: Yes, it can cause a lot of health problems. But to answer your question, there are lots of things you can do to reduce stress. You can organise your work or studies. For example, you can make a list and do all the important things first. You must eat well – have a good diet – and of course do exercise often. Finally, you can talk to people about yourproblems – talk to a friend, someone in your family or, if you're studying, talk to a teacher. You can also do special exercises.Presenter: Can you describe some of th ese …TapescriptMark: Things I find stressful. Well, I really hate … mm …doing exams. Mm, I get very nervous the night before, you know. And I can't sleep, you know what I mean I'm also shy and I don't like going to parties very much. I prefer meeting people in small groups, you know. Ah, there's another thing – in French lessons I can't stand talking in front of the class, er, I get nervous and mm, make lots of mistakes. Things I find relaxing Well, mm, I like a lot of things. I love talking to my friends. And when I'm tired and want to relax I enjoy listening to music and I also like reading. Ah, I quite like sitting and doing nothing!3 A Volunteer TeacherTapescriptI: Good morning and welcome to the show. This morning, I have Wang Shu here in the studio. She's going to tell us about her plan for the future. Good morning, Wang Shu.WS: Good morning.I: Wang Shu, tell us about your plan, please.WS: I'm going to work as a volunteer teacher in a small country town in Inner Mongolia.I: Really You must be excited!WS: Oh yes, I'm really excited about it. (Section 1)I: But why did you make this decisionWS: Well, I've just graduated from university. As a teacher, I feel it's my duty to do something for students in poor areas.I: But life in Inner Mongolia is very hard and quite different from that in Beijing. Are you prepared for that WS: Yes, I know life there will be especially hard for me. You know, I'm the only child in my family and I've always lived in Beijing. So, teaching in Inner Mongolia is going to be a great challenge for me. Maybe it will be very cold and maybe I'll onlyhave a small room with a bed and a basin to wash up with but I really enjoy meeting new challenges. That's why I made the decision to go. (Section 2)I: What are you going to do there as a teacherWS: I'm going to teach middle school students. I'll have lots of lesson plans to make and homework to mark. I'll be very busy.I: What do your parents think of your plan Do they support youWS: To tell the truth, they didn't like the idea when they first heard about my plan. But we had a long talk, and I finally won their support.I: And when are you leavingWS: The train leaves at 9 tomorrow morning. So I'm getting up at about 6 to get everything ready. The new school term begins the day after I arrive. I can't wait to meet the students there. They are said to be very good students.I: I'm sure your parents are proud of you, and I believe you're going to have an exciting year. We're going to open ourphone lines now. If you have any questions for Wang Shu, dial 555-6782 and she'll answer them for you. (Section 3)4 City and CountryDebbie is an accountant in a large company in the centre of London. I need to be in my office by nine o'clock so I usually get up at seven o'clock. I travel to w ork on “the tube”. That's what people call the underground in London. It takes about fifty minutes. Usually, it's so crowded that I can't find anywhere to sit. I just stand. I'm always tired before I arrive at work.I don't like the underground!I spend all morning checking numbers. Lunch is always simple.I often get a sandwich in a nearby sandwich shop or I just have some biscuits and a cup of coffee. Then in the afternoon, I return to the paperwork in the office.On Monday nights, I have dance classes, and on Wednesday nights, I go to the gym. I need to do that because I don't get enough exercise otherwise. On Tuesday and Thursday nights, I have French classes. I work for a French company so I think studying French will help me in my job.I go to the cinema almost every weekend. Sometimes, if the weather forecast is good, my friends and I drive to the countryside for a weekend break. We like to visit nice, quiet places far away from the city and go walking where there are no shops, crowds or the tube. That fresh air is so good for my lungs. I love it.Paul lives in a small village in the north of England.I usually get up at four o'clock every morning when it's still dark. I live and work on the farm so I don't need to travel. After a big breakfast in my house, I walk out of the front door and I'm already at work.There are many things to do on the farm all day. We don't have the same work hours that office workers in the city have. We do jobs when they need to be done and that could be early in the morning or late at night. I have cows, sheep, pigs and chickens on my farm. I have to make sure they are free of sickness. I also grow wheat and vegetables so there are many things to look after.In the evening, I like to play with my children. I have two children, a boy and a girl. They are six and eight years old.I also like to study. Right now I am studying Chinese by distance learning. I am very interested in China and it's my dream to see the Great Wall one day.I love movies. My wife calls me a “movie fan”. But there isn't a cinema in my village so I don't get the chance to go very often. I go about twice a year, usually when I go to London with my family. We take a weekend break there when I am not too busy on the farm. My wife loves looking in the clothes shops and I like all the crowds and the noise. I also like to buy a few cigars. Unfortunately, my wife isn't as fond of them as I am. My son and daughter love to ride on London's red buses and they especially love to go on the tube!。

能被3、7、11、13、17、19、23整除的数的特征之欧阳道创编

能被3、7、11、13、17、19、23等整除的数的特征能被11整除的数的特征把一个数由右边向左边数,将奇位上的数字与偶位上的数字分别加起来,再求它们的差,如果这个差是11的倍数(包括0),那么,原来这个数就一定能被11整除.例如:判断491678能不能被11整除.—→奇位数字的和9+6+8=23—→偶位数位的和4+1+7=12 23-12=11因此,491678能被11整除.这种方法叫"奇偶位差法".除上述方法外,还可以用割减法进行判断.即:从一个数里减去11的10倍,20倍,30倍……到余下一个100以内的数为止.如果余数能被11整除,那么,原来这个数就一定能被11整除.又如:判断583能不能被11整除.用583减去11的50倍(583-11×50=33)余数是33, 33能被11整除,583也一定能被11整除.（1）1与0的特性：1是任何整数的约数，即对于任何整数a，总有1|a.0是任何非零整数的倍数，a≠0,a为整数，则a|0. （2）能被2整除的数的特征若一个整数的末位是0、2、4、6或8，则这个数能被2整除。

（3）能被3整除的数的特征若一个整数的数字和能被3整除，则这个整数能被3整除。

(4) 能被4整除的数的特征若一个整数的末尾两位数能被4整除，则这个数能被4整除。

（5）能被5整除的数的特征若一个整数的末位是0或5，则这个数能被5整除。

（6）能被6整除的数的特征若一个整数能被2和3整除，则这个数能被6整除。

（7）能被7整除的数的特征若一个整数的个位数字截去，再从余下的数中，减去个位数的2倍，如果差是7的倍数，则原数能被7整除。

如果差太大或心算不易看出是否7的倍数，就需要继续上述「截尾、倍大、相减、验差」的过程，直到能清楚判断为止。

例如，判断133是否7的倍数的过程如下：13－3×2＝7，所以133是7的倍数；又例如判断6139是否7的倍数的过程如下：613－9×2＝595 ，59－5×2＝49，所以6139是7的倍数，余类推。

Unit 1 LifestylesWarm-upTapescript1 Football player: Being famous isn’t easy, you know. I travel a lot –I have matches in different countries. But my job is exciting, very exciting! I love the matches, the people cheering, know what I mean?2 Student: My dad says these are the best days of my life –but I’m not so sure! You know, I’ve got lots of work to do and there’s not much time really. I also play football for the school team and we have to do training three nights a week.3 Shepherd: I love the animals and I love nature. It’s peaceful, and there’s no one to tell me what to do. But it’s not so good when the weather’s bad!4 Business manager: I’m very busy, and I don’t have time to see my husband and children. Mmmm and my life is very stressful, I suppose. I mean, I have to deal with lots of money. But I find it really exciting.1 A Perfect Day?A Couch PotatoForty-three-year-old Brian Blakey from Birmingham is sitting on his sofa and telling me about his perfect day.When I wake up I don't get up immediately. I turn on the television and watch the children's programmes and old movies until about half-past ten. Then I get up, go downstairs and switch on the TV in the living room. For lunch, I have biscuits and a glass of milk, and I watch the news. In the afternoon, I often watch another old film – they're showing some good ones at the moment. In the evenings, I often watch TV series or sport and the news again. I like the main news at six o'clock. At nine thirty, if there is a good play on BBC 2, I switch over and watch it. Then at night, I watch more films and I usually switch off the TV at about two o'clock.I never watch TV all night.I watch TV for sixteen or seventeen hours a day. I also do some exercise every day. I take Tina, the dog, for a walk every afternoon. I don't go far, of course.I walk to the wall outside my house. I always take my portable TV and I sit on the stone wall while the dog walks round in a circle.Of course, I couldn't live this lifestyle without a good wife. She's not here now because she's working, but she always makes my meals. We haven't got much money, you know, but we're happy. Sit down and watch TV. Here's the remote control. You've got the world at your feet. And in your hand. Great!A WorkaholicThirty-six-year-old Bob Black is sitting at his desk and working his way through his paperwork. I normally wake up about five minutes before my alarm clock goes off. As soon as I hear my alarm clock, I jump out of my bed. It takes me less than fifteen minutes to wash, get changed, have breakfast, leave home and get on a bus.I am always the first person to get to the office. The mornings are always very busy and the afternoons are even busier! Meetings and phone calls take up a large part of the day. Every minute of the day is filled with urgent matters. By around eight o'clock, I usually find some time to do my own paperwork and answer some personal e-mails.When I get home at about ten, I look at some documents that I bring back from the office so that I can be ready for the next day's work. I get to bed around midnight when my wife and children are already asleep.I seldom have time for fun and other activities with my family. My family complains about it.But I try to work hard so that I can make more money for them. Besides, I get bored if there's nothing to do. I like being busy.2 RelaxingTapescriptPresenter: Good morning and welcome to Lifestyles. Today we're going to look at stress – what causes it and what we can do to relax and prevent it. We have in the studio Dr Klinsmann, an expert on stress. Good morning, DrKlinsmann.Doctor: Good morning.Presenter: Dr Klinsmann … er … what kinds of people often suffer from stress?Doctor: Well, anybody can suffer from stress. There are certain jobs that are very stressful, like some jobs in business or the police. But, probably everyone suffers from stress at some time in their life – students, doctors, factory workers– anybody.Presenter: But, what really causes it?Doctor: There are different reasons. One is time and the pressures of work and study. At school, for example, students can become very stressed when they have a lot of homework to do and they feel they haven't got enough time to do it all. Other reasons can be social – if you have a problem with your family or friends or at school. And it has something to do with the person –if you're shy, social situations like parties can be very stressful too.Presenter: And what can you do to stop stress and worry? Because stress is very bad for you, isn't it?Doctor: Yes, it can cause a lot of health problems. But to answer your question, there are lots of things you can do to reduce stress. You can organise your work or studies. For example, you can make a list and do all the important things first. You must eat well – have a good diet – and of course do exercise often. Finally, you can talk to people about your problems –talk to a friend, someone in your family or, if you're studying, talk to a teacher. You can also do special exercises.Presenter: Can you describe some of these …TapescriptMark: Things I find stressful. Well, I really hate … mm …doing exams. Mm, I get very nervous the night before, you know. And I can't sleep, you know what I mean? I'm also shy and I don't like going to parties very much. I prefer meeting people in small groups, you know. Ah, there's another thing – in French lessons I can't stand talking in front of the class, er, I get nervous and mm, make lots of mistakes. Things I find relaxing? Well, mm, I like a lot of things. I love talking to my friends. And when I'm tired and want to relax I enjoy listening to music and I also like reading. Ah, I quite like sitting and doing nothing!3 A Volunteer TeacherTapescriptI: Good morning and welcome to the show. This morning, I have Wang Shu here in the studio. She's going to tell us about her plan for the future. Good morning, Wang Shu.WS: Good morning.I: Wang Shu, tell us about your plan, please.WS: I'm going to work as a volunteer teacher in a small country town in Inner Mongolia.I: Really? You must be excited!WS: Oh yes, I'm really excited about it. (Section 1)I: But why did you make this decision?WS: Well, I've just graduated from university. As a teacher, I feel it's my duty to do something for students in poor areas.I: But life in Inner Mongolia is very hard and quite different from that in Beijing. Are you prepared for that?WS: Yes, I know life there will be especially hard for me. You know, I'm the only child in my family and I've always lived in Beijing. So, teaching in Inner Mongolia is going to be a great challenge for me. Maybe it will be very cold and maybe I'll only have a small room with a bed and a basin to wash up with but I really enjoy meeting new challenges. That's why I made the decision to go. (Section 2)I: What are you going to do there as a teacher?WS: I'm going to teach middle school students. I'll have lots of lesson plans to make and homework to mark. I'll be very busy.I: What do your parents think of your plan? Do they support you?WS: To tell the truth, they didn't like the idea when they first heard about my plan. But we had a long talk, and I finally won their support.I: And when are you leaving?WS: The train leaves at 9 tomorrow morning. So I'm getting up at about 6 to get everything ready. The new school term begins the day after I arrive. I can't wait to meet the students there. They are said to be very good students.I: I'm sure your parents are proud of you, and I believe you're going to have an exciting year. We're going to open our phone lines now. If you have any questions for Wang Shu, dial 555-6782 and she'll answer them for you. (Section 3)4 City and CountryDebbie is an accountant in a large company in the centre of London. I need to be in my office by nine o'clock so I usually get up at seven o'clock. I travel to work on “the tube”. That's what people call the underground in London. It takes about fifty minutes. Usually, it's so crowded that I can't find anywhere to sit.I just stand. I'm always tired before I arrive at work. I don't like the underground!I spend all morning checking numbers. Lunch is always simple. I often get a sandwich in a nearby sandwich shop or I just have some biscuits and a cup of coffee. Then in the afternoon, I return to the paperwork in the office.On Monday nights, I have dance classes, and on Wednesday nights, I go to the gym. I need to do that because I don't get enough exercise otherwise. On Tuesday and Thursday nights, I have French classes. I work for a French company so I think studying French will help me in my job.I go to the cinema almost every weekend. Sometimes, if the weather forecast is good, my friends and I drive to the countryside for a weekend break. We like to visit nice, quiet places far away from the city and go walking where there are no shops, crowds or the tube. That fresh air is so good for my lungs. I love it.Paul lives in a small village in the north of England.I usually get up at four o'clock every morning when it's still dark. I live and work on the farm so I don't need to travel. After a big breakfast in my house, I walk out of the front door and I'm already at work.There are many things to do on the farm all day. We don't have the same work hours that office workers in the city have. We do jobs when they need to be done and that could be early in the morning or late at night. I have cows, sheep, pigs and chickens on my farm. I have to make sure they are free of sickness. I also grow wheat and vegetables so there are many things to look after.In the evening, I like to play with my children. I have two children, a boy and a girl. They are six and eight years old. I also like to study. Right now I am studyingChinese by distance learning. I am very interested in China and it's my dream to see the Great Wall one day.I love movies. My wife calls me a “movie fan”. But there isn't a cinema in my village so I don't get the chance to go very often. I go about twice a year, usually when I go to London with my family. We take a weekend break there when I am not too busy on the farm. My wife loves looking in the clothes shops and I like all the crowds and the noise. I also like to buy a few cigars. Unfortunately, my wife isn't as fond of them as I am. My son and daughter love to ride on London's red buses and they especially love to go on the tube!。

北师大出版英语书必修一

北师大出版英语书必修一Beijing Normal University is one of the most prestigious institutions of higher education in China and has long been recognized for its excellence in teacher training and educational research. As such, the English textbooks published by the university's press are highly regarded and widely used in schools across the country. One such textbook is the Compulsory 1 volume, which serves as the foundation for English language instruction in the early stages of secondary education.The Compulsory 1 textbook is designed to provide students with a solid grounding in the fundamentals of the English language, covering a range of topics and skills that are essential for effective communication. The content is carefully structured to introduce new vocabulary, grammar concepts, and language functions in a logical and progressive manner, ensuring that students can build upon their knowledge and skills over the course of the academic year.One of the standout features of the Compulsory 1 textbook is its emphasis on practical, real-world language use. Rather than relyingsolely on abstract grammatical rules or decontextualized vocabulary lists, the textbook presents language in the context of authentic situations and scenarios that students are likely to encounter in their daily lives. This approach helps to make the learning process more engaging and relevant, as students can see the immediate applicability of what they are learning.Another key strength of the Compulsory 1 textbook is its integration of the four language skills – reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Each unit of the textbook typically includes activities and exercises that target multiple skills, allowing students to develop a well-rounded proficiency in the English language. This holistic approach to language learning is particularly important in the early stages of secondary education, as it helps to lay the foundation for more advanced language study in the future.One of the most impressive aspects of the Compulsory 1 textbook is the attention to detail and quality of its content. The textbook is meticulously designed, with clear and concise explanations, visually appealing layout and design, and a wealth of supplementary materials, such as audio recordings, practice exercises, and assessment tools. This level of attention to detail and quality control is a testament to the expertise and dedication of the Beijing Normal University press and the team of educators and language experts who have contributed to the development of the textbook.In addition to its strong academic content, the Compulsory 1 textbook also places a strong emphasis on cultural awareness and understanding. Throughout the textbook, students are exposed to a variety of cultural traditions, customs, and perspectives from the English-speaking world, helping to broaden their global outlook and foster a sense of intercultural competence. This cultural component is particularly important in the context of China, where English is increasingly seen as a crucial tool for international communication and collaboration.Overall, the Compulsory 1 textbook published by Beijing Normal University is a highly impressive and valuable resource for English language instruction in secondary schools. Its combination of rigorous academic content, practical language skills, and cultural awareness make it a standout example of high-quality educational materials that can help to prepare students for success in an increasingly globalized world. Whether students are aspiring to pursue further education, enter the workforce, or simply develop a deeper appreciation for the English language and the cultures it represents, the Compulsory 1 textbook is an invaluable tool that can help them achieve their goals.。

Maybe it will be very cold and maybe I'll only have a small room with a bed and a basin to wash up with but I really enjoy meeting new challenges. That's why I made the decision to go. (Section 2)I: What are you going to do there as a teacher?WS: I'm going to teach middle school students. I'll have lots of lesson plans to make and homework to mark. I'll be very busy.I: What do your parents think of your plan? Do they support you?WS: To tell the truth, they didn't like the idea when they first heard about my plan. But we had a long talk, and I finally won their support.I: And when are you leaving?WS: The train leaves at 9 tomorrow morning. So I'm getting up at about 6 to get everything ready. The new school term begins the day after I arrive. I can't wait to meet the students there. They are said to be very good students.I: I'm sure your parents are proud of you, and I believe you're going to have an exciting year. We're going to open our phone lines now. If you have any questions for Wang Shu, dial 555-6782 and she'll answer them for you. (Section 3)4 City and CountryDebbie is an accountant in a large company in the centre of London. I need to be in my office by nine o'clock so I usually get up at seven o'clock. I travel to work on “the tube”. That's what people call the underground in London. It takes about fifty minutes. Usually, it's so crowded that I can't find anywhere to sit. I just stand. I'm always tired before I arrive at work. I don't like the underground!I spend all morning checking numbers. Lunch is always simple. I often get a sandwich in a nearby sandwich shop or I just have some biscuits and a cup of coffee. Then in the afternoon, I return to the paperwork in the office.On Monday nights, I have dance classes, and on Wednesday nights, I go to the gym. I need to do that because I don't get enough exercise otherwise. On Tuesday and Thursday nights, I have French classes. I work for a French company so I think studying French will help me in my job.I go to the cinema almost every weekend. Sometimes, if the weather forecast is good, my friends and I drive to the countryside for a weekend break. We like to visit nice, quiet places far away from the city and go walking where there are no shops, crowds or the tube. That fresh air is so good for my lungs. I love it.Paul lives in a small village in the north of England.I usually get up at four o'clock every morning when it's still dark.I live and work on the farm so I don't need to travel. After a big breakfast in my house, I walk out of the front door and I'm already at work.There are many things to do on the farm all day. We don't have the same work hours that office workers in the city have. We do jobs when they need to be done and that could be early in the morning or late at night. I have cows, sheep, pigs and chickens on my farm. I have to make sure they are free of sickness. I also grow wheat and vegetables so there are many things to look after.In the evening, I like to play with my children. I have two children, a boy and a girl. They are six and eight years old. I also like to study. Right now I am studying Chinese by distance learning. I am very interested in China and it's my dream to see the Great Wall one day.I love movies. My wife calls me a “movie fan”. But there isn't a cinema in my village so I don't get the chance to go very often. I go about twice a year, usually when I go to London with my family. We take a weekend break there when I am not too busy on the farm. My wife loves looking in the clothes shops and I like all the crowds and the noise. I also like to buy a few cigars. Unfortunately, my wife isn't as fond of them as I am. My son and daughter love to ride on London's red buses and they especially love to go on the tube!。

弗兰肯斯坦英文版之欧阳道创编

简介或许以这个悲伤而恐怖的故事拍成的电影要比世界上由任何其他故事拍成的电影都要多。

为什么有这么多的人喜欢它？因为当我们第一次读到它时，它就好像是出自我们梦中的记忆一样。

这是一个古老的故事，也是一个新的故事。

说它“古老”是因为它创作于一百五十多年以前，那时的科学发展才刚刚起步；说它“新”是因为弗兰肯斯坦的问题也就是我们今天所面临的问题。

科学给予我们力量去改造世界，但这种力量也可能与我们作对并毁灭我们。

弗兰肯斯坦创造了一个新的人，他比任何其他人都要巨大和强壮——然而弗兰肯斯坦控制不了他，这个怪物毁灭了弗兰肯斯坦所爱的一切。

今天的科学家正在创造着巨大的机器、电脑和武器，他们声称这些东西对我们有益——但我们能够驾驭它们吗？玛丽·雪莱（1797—1851）是维多利亚时代的一位重要作家。

她的丈夫是英格兰最著名的诗人之一——珀西·比希·雪莱。

1‘Captain！ Something is moving on the ice．Look over there！’The sailor stood at the top of the mast， high above the Captain． His hand pointed away from the ship， across the miles of ice that covered the sea．The Captain looked to the north， where the sailor was pointing． He saw something coming fast towards the ship across the ice． He put his telescope to his eye， and through it he could see the shapes of ten dogs pulling a sledge over the ice． He could also see the driver of the sledge—a huge figure，much bigger than a man．The sledge came nearer and nearer to the sea． Soon it was only a quarter of a mile from the ship．No one needed a telescope now to see the huge figure of the driver．Suddenly the sledge went behind a mountain of ice and disappeared． At that moment another sledge appeared． It， too，was moving fast， and was clearly chasing the first sledge． This driver was a smaller figure， more like an ordinary man．Faster and faster thedogs ran；then the second sledge also disappeared behind the mountain of ice．Two hours passed． The sledges did not appear again． Nothing moved on the ice． Soon night came，and in the night there was a storm． In the morning，the sailors saw that great pieces of ice were floating round the ship．Suddenly the sailor on the mast shouted again：‘Captain， I can see a man on the ice．’The sailor was pointing to a piece of ice that was floating near the ship． A man was sitting on the ice， and near him was a broken sledge． The man was nearly dead from cold and could not walk． The sailors carried him carefully onto the ship， and took him to the Captain， who said：‘Welcome to my ship．I am the Captain and my name is Robert Walton．’‘Thank you， Captain Walton，’ the man said．‘My name is Frankenstein， Victor Frankenstein．’Then he fainted and said no more．Two days passed before the man was strong enough to talk and then the Captain asked him to tell his story．‘I am trying to catch someone，’ said Frankenstein．‘That is why I have come so far north on the ice．’‘We saw you following someone，’ the Captain said．‘He was huge， much bigger than a man． We saw his sledge just in front of you on the night before the storm．’‘I am pleased you all saw that huge figure，’ Frankenstein said．‘Perhaps that will help you to believe my story．’During the days， while the Captain worked on the ship，Frankenstein wrote down his story， and each evening he read what he had written to the Captain．Here is Victor Frankenstein's story．2I was born in Switzerland， in the town of Geneva． My parents loved each other very much， and I learnt from the example of their love．I learnt that to love and to be patient are the most important things in the world．My mother hoped to have a daughter after I was born， but for five years I was the only child． And then my mother found a sister for me．She was helping a family in which there were five children． They were very poor，and thechildren were thin and hungry． One of the children was a little girl， with golden hair and blue eyes Her name was Elizabeth． My mother took the little girl into our family，and Elizabeth became the daughter that my mother had always wanted． As I grew older， my love for Elizabeth became stronger all the time．Later my mother had two other sons， Ernest and William．A young woman called Justine came to live in the house to help my mother with the children． We loved her as much as she loved us．The years passed happily， and we had everything that we needed． At school I met another very fine person． His name was Henry Clerval， and he was very clever． My family also liked him very much， so he was a welcome visitor to our house．I studied very hard at school．I wanted to know the secrets of life， and， most of all， I wanted to know how to make living things．I read all the books that I could find．One day，some－thing happened that added a new idea to the ideas that I al－ready had．I was fifteen at the time， and we were on holiday in the mountains． Therewas a wild storm， and with it came the most frightening thunder and lightning that I had ever seen in mylife． About twenty metres in front of our house was a great tree．Suddenly a huge fork of lightning hit the tree．After a few seconds， there was nothing left of it except a black piece of wood two metres high． The lightning had destroyed it．I saw how strong electricity was． I began to read all the books that I could find about electricity and its terrible power．维克多的故事开始了3For seventeen years my life was very happy． Then the first sad thing happened． My mother became very ill，and soon she knew that she was dying． Just before she died，she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room． She held our hands and said：‘My children， I am very happy because you love each other，and because one day you will getmarried． Everyone in the family loves you，Elizabeth． Will you take my place in the family， my dear？ I can die happy if you will look after them when I have gone．’My mother died， and we were very sad， because we loved her dearly Elizabeth was brave and helped us； her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother's death．The time came for me to go to university．I did not want to leave my sad family， but we all knew that I should go． It was hard to leave， too， because the parents of my good friend Henry Clerval would not let him go to university with me． And so I had to go alone．On my first day at the university I met my teacher，Professor Waldman， who was one of the greatest scientists in the world． He gave a wonderful talk to all the students who were starting at the university． He ended his talk by saying：‘Some of you will become the great scientists of tomorrow． You must study hard and discover everything that you can． That is why God made you intelligent—to help other people．’After the professor's talk，I thought very carefully．I remembered the storm when I was fifteen． I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree．I wanted to use electricity to help people， and I wanted to discover the secrets of life．I decided to work on these two things． I did not know then that my work would destroy me and the people that I loved．I started work the next day． I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist．The professor helped me very much， and other important scientists who were his friends helped me，too． I was interested in my work and I did not take one day's holiday during the next two years． I did not go home， and my letters to my family were very short．After two years I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was better than anything in the university． My machine would help me answer the most important question of all． How does life begin？ Is it possible to put life into dead things？ To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death．I hadto watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them． In the hospital and in the university，I watched the dying and the dead．Day after day， month after month， I followed death．It was a dark and terrible time．Then one day， the answer came to me． Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life． I knew that I could put life into a body that was not alive．I worked harder and harder now． I slept for only a short time each night， and I did not eat much food．I wrote to my family less often． But they loved me and did not stop writing to me．They said they understood how busy I was． They did not want me to stop work to write or to see them． They would wait until I had more time． They hoped to see me very soon．The professors realized that I was doing very important work， and so they gave me my own laboratory． There was a small flat above the laboratory， where I lived， and sometimes I stayed inside the building for a week and did not go out．Above the laboratory I built a very tall mast． It was150metres high， and higher than the tallest building in the city．The mast could catch lightning and could send the electricity down to my machine in the laboratory． I had never forgotten the lightning that had destroyed the tree． There had been so much power in the electricity of that lightning． I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead．I will say no more than that． The secret of my machine must die with me． I was a very clever scientist， but I did not realize then what a terrible mistake I was making．4In my laboratory I made a body． I bought or stole all the pieces of human body that I needed， and slowly and carefully， I put them all together．I did not let anybody enter my laboratory or my flat while I was doing this awful work． I was afraid to tell anybody my terrible secret．I had wanted to make a beautiful man， but the face of the creature was horrible． Its skin was thin and yellow， andits eyes were as yellow as its skin． Its long black hair and white teeth were almost beautiful， but the rest of the face was very ugly．Its legs and arms were the right shape， but they were huge．I had to use big pieces because it was too difficult to join small pieces together． My creature was two and a half metres tall．For a year I had worked to make this creature， but now it looked terrible and frightening． I almost decided to destroy it．But I could not． I had to know if I could put life into it．I joined the body to the wires from my machine． More wires joined the machine to the mast． I was sure that my machine could use electricity from lightning to give life to the body． I watched and waited．Two days later I saw dark clouds in the sky， and I knew that a storm was coming． At about one o'clock in the morning the lightning came．My mast began to do its work immediately， and the electricity from the lightning travelled down the mast to my machine． Would the machine work？At first nothing happened． But after a few minutes I saw the creature's body begin to move．Slowly， terribly， the body came alive． His arms and legs began to move， and slowly he sat up．The dead body had been an ugly thing， but alive， he was much more horrible． Suddenly I wanted to escape from him． I ran out of the laboratory， and locked the door． I was filled with fear at what I had done．For hours I walked up and down in my flat． At last I lay down on my bed， and fell asleep． But my sleep was full of terrible dreams， and I woke up suddenly． The horrible thing that I had created was standing by my bed． His yellow eyes were looking at me； his mouth opened and he made strange sounds at me． On his yellow face there was an awful smile． One of his huge hands reached towards me…Before he could touch me， I jumped off the bed and ran downstairs into the garden． I stayed there all night， but I could not think clearly．I was afraid． And when morning came， I went out into the town and began to walk about．I did not notice where I was walking， but soon I came to the station． A train from Geneva had just arrived， and the passengers were leaving the station． One of them ran towards me when he saw me． It was my dear friend Henry Clerval．He was very pleased to see me． He took my hand and shook it warmly．‘My dear Victor！’ he said．‘What a lucky chance that you are here at the station． Your father， and Elizabeth and the others， are very worried about you， because you have not visited them for a long time． They ask me to make sure that you are well． And I have very good news． My father has agreed to let me study at the university， so we shall be able to spend a lot of time together．’I was very happy to hear this news， and for a moment I for-got my fears．I took Henry back to my flat and asked him to wait outside while I went in to look． I was afraid that the creature was still there． But he had disappeared．At that time I did not think of other people，and what the creature could do to them．I took Henry intothe flat and cooked a meal for us．But Henry noticed how thin I was，and that I was laughing too much and could not sit still．Suddenly he said：‘My dear Victor， what is the matter with you？Are you ill？ Has something awful happened？’‘Don't ask me that，’ I cried． I put my hands over my eyes．I thought I could see the horrible creature there in front of me． I pointed wildly across the room， and shouted：‘He can tell you． Save me！ Save me！’ I tried to fight the creature，but there was nothing there． Then I fainted and fell to the floor．Poor Henry！ I do not know what he thought． He called a doctor and they put me to bed． I was very ill for two months，and Henry stayed and looked after me． His loving care saved me from death．I wanted to go home and see my family as soon as possible．When I was well enough，I packed my clothes and books．All my luggage was ready， and I was feeling very happy when the postman arrived with some letters．One of the letters ended my short time ofhappiness．5The letter was from my father in Geneva， and this is what he wrote：My dear Victor，I want you to know before you arrive home that an awful thing has happened．Your dear youngest brother，William，is dead． He was murdered． It happened last Thursday evening when Elizabeth and I and your two brothers， Ernest and William， went for a walk outside the city． William and Ernest were playing． William had hidden from Ernest， and Ernest asked Elizabeth and me to help find William． We all began to search for him， but we couldn't find him． We searched all night． At five in the morning I found him． He was lying on the grass，white and still． I could see the marks of fingers on his neck—the murderer had strangled him．Elizabeth had let him wear a gold chain of hers round his neck．On the chain was a very small picture of your mother．We all think that someone murdered William tosteal the gold chain．Poor Elizabeth is terribly unhappy at William's death． She thinks he died because she let him wear the chain． Hurry home， my dear Victor． You are the only one who can help Elizabeth， and we all need you．With all our love，Your FatherHenry helped me to catch the train． The journey seemed very long， and it was late at night before the train reached Geneva． I decided to spend the night in a village outside the town and go home early in the morning． I wanted to see the place where William had died．As I started my walk， a storm broke and lightning lit the sky． The police had put posts round the place where the murderer had strangled William，so I found it easily．I cried sadly as I stood there． My poor brother had been a kind and happy boy， and we had all loved him．Again the lightning lit the sky， and I saw a huge figure standing in the rain． When I saw it， I knew at once what it was．It was the creature that I had made．What was he doing there？But although I asked myself the question， I knew the answer． He had murdered my brother． I was sure that I was right．I decided to try and catch him．But as I moved， he ran to －wards the mountains． He ran much faster than any man． He climbed the mountain easily， reached the top，and disappeared．I stood there in the dark and the rain， and knew that I had created a monster． And he had murdered my brother．6At first I decided to tell the police my story． But would they believe me？ I had been very ill． When the police learnt about my illness， they would think the monster was just one of my bad dreams． I decided that I could not tell anybody．I went home to my family and they were very pleased to see me． Then they told me that the police had found the murderer． Perhaps you will think that this was good news，but I have not told you who the police had arrested．As I went into the house，I noticed that one person did not come to meet me． It was Justine，the young woman who looked after the children and who was like a sister to us． And it was Justine that the police had arrested．A few days after the murder， the police had searched the house and had found the gold chain in Justine's coat pocket．Everyone in the family knew that Justine had not murdered William． I knew who the murderer was， but I could not tell anyone． We were sure that Justine would be free after the trial， because nobody could believe that she was a murderer．But we were wrong．The trial did not go well for Justine． There were a number of strange facts that were difficult to explain， and the judge decided that she was the murderer． The punishment for murder was death． We argued and cried． We said she could not murder anyone． But nothing could change the judge's order．So I got up early and went to the judge's house and told him about the monster． He did not believe me． He thought I was lying in order to save Justine's life．In the prison Justine waited quietly for death． We spent many hours with her， and she spoke calmly and kindly to us．She was happy because we believed that she had not killed William． And she was almost looking forward to death， be－cause then she would be with William and our dear mother in a place of peace．Her love and gentleness added to my great unhappiness． I knew she was going to die because of me． I knew my brother had died because of me． I had brought nothing but sadness and misery to my family．I took a boat and went out on Lake Geneva． Why didn't I end my life then？ Two things stopped me． My father was old and another death would probably kill him． And I had to stay alive—to keep my family safe from the monster．Fear for my family and hate for my monster were with me day and night． I became ill again， and Elizabeth's love could not help me． I needed o escape for a while—to leave my unhappiness behind me．So I went to walk alone in the Alps． I hoped the wild beauty of the mountains would help me．Slowly I became calmer among the beautiful mountains． I learnt to sleep again， and for days I did not see anybody． Then one morning I saw a figure coming towards me faster than any man could go． It jumped easily over the rocks and I saw with horror the monster that I had created． On his face was a look of deep sadness， but also of evil． At first I could not speak be－cause I hated him so much． But at last I said：‘You are an evil creature． I shall kill you if I can，because you have killed two people that I love．’The monster's yellow eyes looked at me．‘I am the unhappiest creature in the world， but I shall fight for my life，’ he said．‘I am bigger and stronger than you， but I will not start the fight． I shall always be gentle to you because you are my king and creator． You made me，and you should love me and be kind to me， like a father． William and Justine died because you did not love me． Why did you create me if you were not ready to love me？’‘We are enemies，’ I said．‘Leave me now，or let us fight until one of us is dead．You are a murderer． How can Ibe kind to you？’‘You say I am a murderer，’ the monster said，‘but you want to kill your own creature． Isn't that wrong，too？ I ask you to do one thing for me—listen．Come with me to a warmer place， and listen to my story．Then you can decide．’I thought carefully about what he had said．It was true that I had given him life but I had not given him love．I decided to go with him and listen to his story．He took me to a mountain hut where he lit a fire． We sat down by the fire and he began to tell me his story．7After I had left the laboratory， I escaped into the country outside the town． I soon felt hungry and thirsty，and my first food was fruit which I found on some trees near a river． I drank from the river and then lay down and went to sleep．At first my eyes and ears did not work very well，but after a while I began to see and hear clearly．One day， snow began to fall． Of course， I had neverwalked in snow before， and I found that it made my feet very cold． I realized that I needed food and a place to get warm．Soon I saw a small hut where an old man was cooking his breakfast over a fire． When the old man saw me， he shouted loudly and ran away as fast as he could． I did not understand what the man was doing， but I wanted to be near the fire． So I sat down in the warm，and ate the man's breakfast． Then I walked across empty fields for some hours until I reached a village． I went into one of the houses， but there were children inside． They began to scream when they saw me， and their mother fainted． The whole village came to see what was the trouble． Some of the people ran away when they saw me， but the others shouted and threw stones at me．They wanted to kill me． I was badly hurt， but I escaped and ran into the open country．Later， I found an empty hut， which was built against the wall of a small house． I was afraid to go into the house after what had happened in the village， so I hid in the hut． There I was safe， and could escape from the cold，and hide from people who wished to hurt me．And then I found that there was a small hole in the wall between the hut and the house．Through this hole I could see in－to the room next to the hut． Three people lived in the house—a beautiful girl， an old man， and a young man．Day after day I watched the three people．I saw how kind they were to each other． I wanted so much to go into the house and be with them， but I knew I must stay in the hut． I could not forget how the village people had hurt me when I tried to go into the house there．Each night， after the people in the house had gone to bed，I stole some of their food for myself． But soon I realized that the old man was blind． And I realized too that often the three of them did not have enough to eat．I saw the two young people put extra food on the blind man's plate， although they were hungry themselves．When I saw that，I stopped stealing their food．Their life was already hard enough， so I went back to the wild fruit in the woods． I tried to help them in other ways，too．During the night I cut firewood for them， and added it secretly to the wood which the young man had cut duringthe day． I was very happy to see how much this pleased the young man．After a while I began to understand some of the noises that the people made to each other． The first words that I under －stood were words like ‘fire’，and‘bread’． I also learnt that the three people called each other by names． The girl was Agatha， the young man was Felix， and the old man was called Father． I tried to make the noises that they made， and slowly I began to speak．The two young people were very beautiful． One day I saw my own face in the water of the river． It was a terrible face．I understood why people were frightened， why they shouted and threw stones． I knew then that I could not let these beautiful people see me． They would be frightened by my horrible face and body．Summer was coming， and I continued to watch and learn． I also continued to help the two people and their father， and did many jobs for them in the night． They were always surprised in the morning when they saw what I had done．I heard them talk about the ‘good creature’ who did these‘wonderful’thi ngs．But the family were often sad， and I wished I could make them happy．I looked forward to the time when I could speak well enough to talk to them． And I was happy because I was sure I would soon have three good friends．8One day in summer a lady on horseback rode up to the house and knocked on the door． She had dark hair，and was very beautiful． The family were all very pleased to see her． I soon learnt that her name was Sophie．She could not speak the family's language， and each evening Felix taught her some words． This was a very great help to me， because I was able to learn the meaning of many words that I had not been able to understand before． Felix taught Sophie from books about what had happened in the world in the past．So I learnt about the Greeks and Romans，and about Christ， and about the first white men in America and the sad story of the Indians． I could not understand why men who knew all about good and evil could hate and kill each other．I learnt other things too． I learnt that people think it isvery important to have money and to come from a good family．I learnt of the love between mother and father and child． And I realized that I had no family． The more I learnt， the more I thought，and the more unhappy I became．Soon I discovered who Sophie was． The two families had met in France after Sophie and her father arrived there from Turkey， their own country． Sophie's father was put in prison by the French， but Felix and his father helped him to escape and leave France． When the French discovered this，Felix and his family lost all their lands and money，and had to leave France for ever． Now I knew why they were so sad， and why they were poor．But that was not all． Sophie and Felix loved each other，and Sophie's father had promised that they could marry．Then，when he learnt that Felix had lost all his money， he broke his promise． But Sophie loved Felix very much，so she took some money and escaped from her father to search for Felix．I had learnt to love these good people and I could not wait another day to introduce myself． I decided to speak first tothe father， because he was blind， and would not be frightened by my terrible face and body．One day the three young people went for a walk while the old man rested． When they had gone， I went to the door of the house and knocked on it．The old man told me to enter， and to sit down．‘Thank you，’ I said．‘I am a traveller， and I'm tired and sad． I have no family or friends． The people that I want to have as my friends have never seen me．If they don't take me into their home， I shall be alone in the world．’‘Don't be so sad，’ the old man said．‘You will find that the hearts of men are full of love． If these friends are good people， they will welcome you．’‘They are kind， and the best people in the world，’ I said．‘But when they meet me， they may not see a kind creature who has helped them． Instead they may see a monster， and they will hate me．’‘That mustn't happen，’the old man said．‘My family and I have had our difficult times， and we'll help you．’‘You are a ver y good man，’ I said，‘and if you help me，I shall be able to live with my friends and enjoy their love．’At that moment I heard the young people returning from their walk．I caught the old man's hand， and cried，‘Now is the time！Save me and help me！ You and your family are the friends that I am talking about．’Then the door opened， and in came Felix， Sophie， and Agatha．Their faces were filled with horror and fear when they saw me．Agatha fainted， and Sophie ran out of the house．Felix ran forward and pulled me away from his father．He threw me to the ground and hit me again and again with his heavy stick．I did not lift a hand against him．I did not want to hurt him—or any of them． My heart was heavy， and all hope left me． I ran out of the house and later returned silently to my hut． Nobody saw me．9Isat in my dark hut， and felt both angry and sad． One half of me wanted to hurt the people who had hurt me．The other half of me still loved them． In the endI decided to try to speak to the old man again． I fell into an unhappy sleep，but when I woke in the morning， the family had gone． They had left the house during the night．I knew the name of only one other person． Although I had seen you， Frankenstein， for only a few moments， I knew that I belonged to you．When I had left your house，I had picked up a small bag． There was a book in the bag， and I could now read it． From it I learnt my creator's name and address．You had made me， but why had you not looked after me， and saved me from this pain and unhappiness？ I decided to go to Geneva， to find you．One day as I was travelling， I saw a young girl running along the side of a river． Suddenly she fell into the water．I jumped into the river， fought against the fast－moving water，and brought her back to land． While I was doing this， the girl's father， who was looking for her，reached us．He was carrying a gun，and when he saw me，he fired．The bullet hit my arm and broke it． I fell to the ground in great pain， and the man and the girl ran。

【关键字】英语A Couch PotatoWhen I wake up I don’t get up immediately.I turn on the television and watch the children’s programmes and old movies until about haft-past ten. Then I get up, go downstairs and switch on the TV in the living room. For lunch, I have biscuits and a glass of milk, and I watch the news. In the afternoon, I often watch another old film —they’re showing some good ones at the moment. In the evenings, I often watch TV series or sport and the news again. I like the main news at six o’clock. At nine thirty, if there is a good play on BBC 2, I switch over and watch it. Then at night, I watch more films and I usually switch off the TV at about two o’clock. I never watch TV a ll night.I watch TV for sixteen or seventeen hours a day. I also do some exercise every day. I take Tina, the dog, for a walk every afternoon. I don’t go far, of course. I walk to the wall outside my house. I always take my portable TV and I sit on the stone wall while the dog walks round in a circle.Of course, I couldn’t live this lifestyle without a good wife. She’s not here now because she’s working, but she always makes my meals. We haven’t got much money, you know, but we’re happy. Sit down and watc h TV. Here’s the remote control. You’ve got the world at your feet. And in your hand. Great!A WorkaholicI normally wake up about five minutes before my alarm clock goes off. As soon as I hear my alarm clock, I jump out of my bed. It takes me less than fifteen minutes to wash, get changed, have breakfast, leave home and get on a bus.I am always the first person to get to the office. The mornings are always very busy and the afternoons are even busier! Meetings and phone calls take up a large part of the day. Every minute of the day is filled with urgent matters. By around eight o’clock, I usually find some time to do my own paperwork and answer some personal e-mails.When I get home at about ten, I look at some documents that I bring back from the office so that I can be ready for the next day’s work. I get to bed around midnight when my wife and children are already asleep.I seldom have time for fun and other activities with my family. My family complains about it. But I try to work hard so that I can ma ke more money for them. Besides, I get bored if there’s nothing to do. I like being busy.City and countryDebbie is an accountant in a large company in the centre of London.I need to be in my office by nine o’clock so I usually get up at seven o’clock. I travel to work on “the tube”. That’s what people call the underground in London. It takes about fifty minutes. Usually, it’s so crowded that I can’t find anywhere to sit. I just stand. I’m always tired before I arrive at work. I don’t like the underground!I spend all morning checking numbers. Lunch is always simple. I often get a sandwich in a nearby sandwich shop or I just have some biscuits and a cup of coffee. Then in the afternoon, I return to the paperwork in the office.On Monday nights, I have dance classes, and on Wednesday nights, I go to the gym. I need to do that because I don’t get enough exercise otherwise. On Tuesday and Thursday nights, I have French classes. I work for a French company so I think studying French will help me in my job.I go to the cinema almost every weekend. Sometimes, if the weather forecast is good, my friends and I drive to the countryside for a weekend break. We like to visit nice, quiet places far away from the city and go walking where there are no shops, crowds or the tube. That fresh air is so good for my lungs. I love it.Paul lives in a small village in the north of England.I usually get up at four o’clock every morning when it’s still dark. I live and work on the farm so I don’t need to travel. After a big breakf ast in my house, I walk out of the front door and I’m already at work.There are many things to do on the farm all day. We don’t have the same work hours that office workers in the city have. We do jobs when they need to be done and that could be early in the morning or late at night. I have cows, sheep, pigs and chickens on my farm. I have to make sure they are free of sickness. I also grow wheat and vegetables so there are many things to look after.In the evening, I like to play with my children. I have two children, a boy and a girl. They are six and eight years old. I also like to study. Right now I am studying Chinese by distance learning.I am very interested in China and it’s my dream to see the Great Wall one day.I love movies. My wife calls me a “movie fan”. But there isn’t a cinema in my village so I don’t get the chance to go very often. I go about twice a year, usually when I go to London with my family. We take a weekend break there when I am not too busy on the farm. My wife loves looking in the clothes shops and I like all the crowds and the noise. I also like to buy a few cigars. Unfortunately, my wife isn’t as fond of them as I am. My son and daughter love to ride on London’s red buses and they especially love to go on the tube!English Tea And Coffee CultureOne thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea. Today, when we think of Western tea culture, we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.Afternoon TeaPeople believe that an English duchess, Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford (1788-1861) first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, the Duchess came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o’clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was served to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates, and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life of wealthy people in modern Britain.Will you come for coffee?Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words “Will you come for coffee?” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat?” Normally, several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what you would like. However, you will not normally be offered wine at a “coffee” party.Coffeehouses and the London Stock ExchangeIn the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy, noisy places. Merchants and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee. In fact, the London Stock Exchange is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.Too far away from it all?A new TV series in England, Away from it all, has surprised everyone by becoming a huge success with young people across the country. Its success is surprising because the main character in the series is a shepherd, and the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of people who live in the country. There is none of the action that we usually see on TV today. There are also no stressful moments, busy offices or crowded cities. Away from it all is set in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories about people’s kindness.The director of the TV series says that its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress. They say that watching Away from it all helps teenagers forget about the pressures of exams and homework, and the troubles that fill the world today. They also say that it’s a good sign of today’s young people switching to happier TV series as it shows they would like a happier and healthier world.Although the series’ success might have a good side, many teachers and parents are worried, however. They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes and are using Away from it all as an excuse for not completing homework. Some children have even refused to learn for exams because they say that they can only achieve personal happiness by avoiding stressful situations completely.One mother, Lucy Linney, talks about her son Patrick. “Before he started watching Away from it all he loved challenges and did volunteer work every afternoon. But now he has become a couch potato. He switches on TV when he gets home from school and only switches it off when he goes to bed at midnight. His grades have dropped and he no longer volunteers but he says it doesn’t matter as he wants his life to ‘get away from it all’.”And what do the experts say? Paula Ray, a doctor of education, says that TV can influence children’s lifestyles. But she says that if a child reacts as strongly as Patrick, it’s likely that there are other reasons for his change in behaviour. She says that there is nothing wrong with watching Away from it all but suggests that parents should make sure their children know TV is not the same as real life.National HeroChina’s first manned spaceship lifted off at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, October 15th, 2003 in Jiuquan, Gansu Province. The spaceship, called Shenzhou V, was carrying China’s first astronaut, Yang Liwei. Yang, who was a pilot in the army, was chosen from 1,500 other army pilots and started training for his space flight in 1998.The launch was very successful. “When the spaceship was lifting off, I could really feel the high gravity”, said Yang Liwei. “When the spaceship separated from the rocket, I su ddenly got a feeling of soaring into the sky because of the zero gravity.”During the 21-hour space flight, the Shenzhou V circled the earth 14 times. While the spaceship was circling the earth for the sixth time, Yang Liwei spoke with ground control in Gansu. He was also able to speak with his wife and 8-year-old son. Yang Liwei had several tasks to complete during the flight and only slept in the spaceship for about 3 hours. While he was sleeping, the spaceship circled the earth twice.When the spaceship was doing its seventh circle, Yang Liwei showed the flags of China and the United Nations, expressing the wishes of the Chinese people to explore and use space peacefully. At 6:23 a.m. on October 16th, Yang Liwei landed in Inner Mongolia safely. He told reporters later, “The surface of the spaceship was glowing red when it came back into the earth’s atmosphere. When Shenzhou V let out its parachute, I felt the ship was shaking.” As Yang Liwei returned into the earth’s atmosphere, helicopters were flying to where he would land, ready to collect him. Millions of people all over China were watching TV when the spaceship landed safely. WhenYang Liwei climbed out of the spaceship, he smiled and waved to the crowds waiting for him. Yang Liwei was happy to be home but he said, “I thought 21 hours was too short to stay in space.”Sports StarsVENUS AND SERENA WILLIAMS are sisters. They are also both tennis champions who often have to play each other: Venus is now eleventh in the world, and her younger sister Serena has moved up to third.The two sisters were born in a poor and dangerous area of California. It was full of drugs and violence, in a recent interview, Venus spoke about the time when she and Serena were practising tennis and they had to run and hide as bullets started flying through the air. Finally, in 1991, the sisters and their family moved to a safer area and since then they have never looked back.The sisters’ father, Richard, started to train Venus and Serena when they were young children. He has always been very strict with his daughters, training them hard to compete against each other. Brandi, the sisters’ mother, taught her daughters at home so that they completed their high school while developing their tennis careers. Today, both sisters are studying design at college. They have already expressed a keen interest in working in design after their tennis careers come to an end. The sisters’ road to success has been amazing. The first time Venus played in a big event was in 1996. Since then, she has won Wimbledon and the US Open twice. Serena has continued to improve and make fantastic progress. In 1999 and 2002, she won the US Open, and in 2002 and 2003, she was the women’s singles champion at Wimbledon. Has tennis ever caused problem s between the sisters? Fortunately, no. “We’ve played each other before and it hasn’t worried usyet!”says Venus. “If she wins,”Serena jokes, “Mama says she has to do the dishes!”Christopher Reeve1、Christopher Reeve was born in September, 1952. He was in his first school play when he was eight and he started to act in TV shows and films while he was still in college. He made many successful films and TV shows but he is most famous for his Superman films.2、Unfortunately, disaster came in 1995 when he fell from his horse and broke his back. The doctors did not expect him to live. However, he made amazing progress. At first, he couldn’t breathe without a machine, but he learnt to breathe on his own. He would never walk again but he started a new life with great courage.3、The second year after his accident, Christopher returned to film making. He also raised a lot of money to promote medical research into back injuries. He made speeches all over the USA about his experiences. This not only drew public attention to research into back injuries but also encouraged a lot of people living with all kinds of problems. From their home, Christopher and his wife Dana spoke about their life after the accident.4、Have you thought of giving up after the accident?“No. Fo ur days after the injury, I came to understand my situation. My wife Dana and I were in the hospital. The doctor said I was not going to pull through. Dana said: ‘But you’re still you, andI love you.’ And that saved my life. Since that moment I have never thought of giving up. Of course, I’ve had moments of feeling sorry for myself, but I’ve never had any thoughts of committing suicide.”5、Did you think that your marriage was so strong?“Yes, because Dana’s so wonderful. We have always got on really well. Our relationship has always been fantastic.”6 、How did your parents react to the accident?“They divorced when I was four. They’ve got closer since the accident.”7、How did you get involved with charity work?“I know a lot of disabled people need my help.This is how I got involved with my charity work to improve the quality of life for all disabled people.”8、”With the progress of new medical research, I’m confident that people like me would be able to walk again one day. So you can see, I’m far too busy with living to think of giving up!”9、Christopher Reeve died on October 10, 2004. But people all over the world will always remember him as a superhero.Space HeroesIn the course of space exploration,434 astronauts have made the journey into space. Men and women from nations all over the world have studied, trained and worked hard in order to go into space. Yet, it is not a job without risk and 20 of those people have died while in space or in space programme training.Yuri GagarinOn April 12, 1961, Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space. He died only seven years later on March 27, 1968 in an air crash during a training session in the East of Moscow.Gregory Jarvis. Ronald McNair, Francis Scobee, Michael Smith, Judith Resnik, Ellison Onizuka, Sharon McAuliffeOn January 28, 1986, these seven American astronauts (five men and two women) died when the space shuttle Challenger exploded soon after launching. Among them was Sharon MacAuliffe, a high school teacher, who was to be the first teacher in space. Millions of people around the world and many students in primary and secondary schools saw the tragedy on TV.Chawla Kalpana (USA), Rick Husband (USA),Wilhiam McCool (USA).Michael Anderson(USA), David Brown(USA), Laurel Clark (USA), Han Ramon(Israel)On February 1, 2003, 16 minutes before landing, the space shuttle Columbia exploded. The five men and two women crew, which included the first Indian born woman in space as well as Israel’s first astronaut, all died.Here is part of US President Ronald Reagan’s speech after the 1986 Challenger disaster:“For the families of the seven, we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy. But we feel the loss, and we’re thinking about you so very much. Your loved ones were daring an d brave, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says, ‘Give me a challenge and I’ll meet it with joy.’ They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths. They wished to serve, and they did. They served all of us.”Spiderman-a hero just like you and meSpiderman is one of the most famous comic book heroes of all time. He was created by Stan Lee in 1963 and was first introduced to the world in the pages of Marvel comic books. At that time, Marvel was a small company and its competition was a big company who’d created Superman. But Spiderman was a hero that people liked because he had problems just like they did. He was a superhero, but people saw him as one of them. The success of the Spiderman comics meant that Marvel was soon the biggest cartoon company in the world.Spiderman’s story is the story of Peter Parker, a child who lost his parents and lives with his aunt and uncle. Peter is a shy, quiet boy wearing glasses and has few friends. One day, on a high school class trip to a science lab, he gets bitten by a special spider. Soon Peter realises he has amazing powers: he is as strong and quick as a spider and also has a type of sixth sense. He no longer needs his glasses and he can use his super power to fly through the city streets! Remembering something his Uncle Ben had told him, that “with great power, there must also come great responsibility,” Peter decides to use his powers to fight enemies who do cruel things to people. And so, Spiderman is born.Life is not easy for Peter even though he is a superhero. He is in love with Mary Jane but cannot tell her about his amazing powers. Besides, his best friend Harry hates Spiderman! Peter is also short of money and time. He has to sell photographs of Spiderman (himself!) to a newspaper and he keeps losing his other jobs because he’s so busy saving people! Yet he has to fight different kinds of cruel enemies.The world’s love for Spiderman was shown in 2002 and again in 2004, when Spiderman and Spiderman 2 became two of the most watched movies of all time. And it’s unlikely that things will change. All in all, people love Spiderman because he struggles with, and solves problems just like they do. With an everyday hero like Peter Parker, Spiderman 3 will no doubt be a huge success too.FestivalsAutumnEvery year in September or October, the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated by the Chinese people all over the world. On this day, the moon is said to be its biggest and brightest. People like to meet in the evening and watch the moon.The Mid-Autumn Festival is important because it is a special occasion for family. It is also a day for special foods like moon cakes. There are all kinds of moon cakes. Traditional moon cakes are usually made with bean paste, but nowadays, there are many different kinds of moon cakes including fruit, coffee, chocolate and even ice-cream moon cakes.WinterThe Lantern Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations.There are many stories about how the Lantern Festival started. In one story, lanterns were lit to celebrate the power of light over darkness. In another story, a town was almost destroyed but the light from many lanterns saved it. The story was about a god who wanted to burn down the town. He was fooled when he saw thousands of lanterns. He thought the town was already burning.In the past, lanterns were usually lit by candles and decorated with pictures of birds, animals and flowers, etc. Nowadays, most lanterns are made with light bulbs and batteries, and they come in many shapes and sizes. In the north-eastern part of China, there are even icelanterns.The special food for the Lantern Festival is the sweet dumpling. Sweet dumplings are boiled and served in hot water.SummerThe Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar year. As it is in early summer, it marks the beginning of the hottest season of the year.The tradition of the Dragon Boat Festival started more than 2,000 years ago. In the old days, dragon boat races were organised only by Chinese people. However, in recent years, people from other cultures have also taken part in the races and enjoyed the fun.There is a special food for the festival. It is called zongzi, which is sticky rice in fresh bamboo leaves.Weddings in IndonesiaIf a friend gets an invitation to a wedding, you can go with him/her, even if you don’t receive an invitation yourself.The times of the wedding ceremony and the reception are both on the invitation. However, you ought not to go to the ceremony because it is only for close family. If you really want to see it, you ought to ask first. Everyone can attend the reception afterwards.Nowadays, Indonesian women don’t have to cover their heads, but they usually wear traditional clothes.There is a box at the entrance to the reception and you ought to put money into it! But don’t worry, you don’t have to contribute a lot of money.And remember at most wedding receptions you can’t drink alcohol.Greek WeddingsOn the day of a Greek wedding ceremony, the bridegroom has to ask the bride’s father for his daughter’s hand in marriage. The bridegroom’s best man then goes with the couple to the church, to be married.During the church ceremony, the best man should help put crowns made of flowers on the heads of the bride and bridegroom. A long silk ribbon that links the crowns is a symbol of a long and happy life for the couple.After the ceremony, the guests can attend a wedding reception, which is usually a huge party and can last through the night. There is a lot of eating, drinking and dancing, including the famous Greek circle dance, where everyone joins in. During the reception, guests can throw dishes on the floor and put money on the bride’s wedding dress for good luck.Memories of ChristmasFor me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold, windy month of November. My sister, Alison, and I sat down in front of the fire and wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him about all the presents we wanted. We seriously wrote “Father Christmas, the North Pole” on the envelope, before giving them to our mother to post.With December our excitement grew each day as we opened the New Year calendar, Christmas cards arrived in the post, Christmas lights appeared in the streets, and we attended the town carol service. And of course, there was snow everywhere. Enough snow to make snowmen, and 10 to have exciting snowball fights in the school playground.On Christmas Eve, the whole family helped to” decorate the house, put up the Christmas tree, the decorations and the balloons. Then, in the afternoon, when Auntie Kathleen and my two cousins arrived, everything was ready. Before we went to bed, we left some wine and biscuits for FatherChristmas and then put our stockings at the end of our beds. We tried to stay awake as long as possible to see Father Christmas but the next thing we knew it was morning. Christmas morning! At the bottom of the bed was the stocking, now full of all kinds of small presents and sweets. Christmas morning was bright and sunny and, after church, my cousin David and I went out into the garden to play with our new presents. Lunch was always late, but what a lunch! A big turkey with all the vegetables followed by Christmas pudding. I like turkey breast the best. I put so much food in my mouth sometimes that it was hard to swallow. We sang Christmas carols happily, laughed at jokes, put on silly paper hats and laughed again.Af ter lunch, the adults slept on the sofas in front of the Queen’s speech on television while we all played cards. Then we had tea with a huge Christmas cake covered with snowmen. It didn’t seem possible, but we carried on eating. By bedtime all of the children were very tired. As soon as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep, happy sleep.Happy Halloween!Halloween is celebrated by Western cultures every year on the night of 31 October. But did you know that it is one of the oldest in history?Over 2000 years ago, people known as the Celts lived in Northern Europe. They worshipped the sun god and believed the god made their crops grow. On the night of 31 October, after their crops had been harvested and stored for winter, the Celts began a 3-day New Year holiday. During this time, they offered crops and dead animals to thank the god and danced in costumes made from animal heads and skin.Later, when the Romans invaded Europe, they adopted the Celts’ New Year customs and used them in their own festivals. After 835 AD, the Catholic Church in Europe invented a holiday on 1 November, All Hallows’ Day, to honour saints. Later, it invented another holiday on 2 November, All Souls’ Day, to honour dead peopl e.To celebrate All Souls Day, people made big bonfires and dressed up as angels, devils, saints and witches. They lit candles in lanterns made of hollowed-out turnip or pumpkin to frighten away ghosts. On this night, people also travelled from village to village to ask for food. It was believed that any village that did not give food would have bad luck.Gradually, over the years, the Celtic, Roman and Catholic customs and holidays got mixed together, and finally 31 October became known as Halloween.In the nineteenth century, Irish immigrants took Halloween customs from Europe to the USA. Today, in the USA and the UK in particular, Halloween has become a special occasion for young people. In these countries, children wear spooky costumes and go from door t o door saying “Trick or treat!” and they are given sweets to take home.What they think about ThanksgivingThanksgiving is an important festival in North America. We interviewed several students from the US and Canada. Here is what they have told us about their Thanksgiving experiences.Josie fromNew York, USA“In America, Thanksgiving is celebrated every year at the end of November. It is to remember the first group of people from Europe to live in America. When they first arrived, they found the environment strange. But they learned to survive after some native American friends showed them how to grow and find food. Thanksgiving is meant to be a traditional celebration.”Todd fromCalifornia, USA“Thanksgiving is the first day of Christmas shoppin g. That means we have four weeks to buy Christmas presents for our families and friends. For me and my friends, the most important part of the festival is the big football game on TV. The match is watched by millions of people all over America. Thanksgivin g is seen as an exciting day for football!”Ian fromSaskatoon, CanadaIn Canada, Thanksgiving is held on the 2nd Monday in October. On the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day, many people go to church. Thanks is given for all the good things that happened to t hem during the year. I always give thanks for the nice big turkey I’m going to have at the family dinner! Like all festivals, Thanksgiving is about food!Katie fromMaritimes, CanadaOn Thanksgiving Day, we have dinner with all our cousins, aunts and uncles. It is always very busy. Sometimes we have two Thanksgiving dinners because we go to both our grandparents’ houses. The dinner is usually attended by more than twenty people at each house! My mother and my aunts do all the cooking but the washing-up is d one by me and my cousins. And that’s not an easy job! But I don’t mind because Thanksgiving is meant to be a time to give thanks.此文档是由网络收集并进行重新排版整理.word可编辑版本！。

父母去世以后，她被人从印度送回英国的约克郡，住在她舅舅的家里。

那是一幢旧房子，很大，差不多有上百个房间，可大部分都关得严严实实，还上了锁。

玛丽住在那儿，情绪很坏，她感到厌烦、孤独，整天没事可做，除了园丁本·威瑟斯塔夫老头，没人跟她说说话。

不过后来玛丽听说了有关秘密花园的事。

那花园的门紧锁着，钥匙也不知哪儿去了。

10年了，除了那只能够飞过围墙的知更鸟，没有一个人进过那园子。

玛丽望着知更鸟，琢磨着钥匙会在哪儿……再后来，夜里房子中什么地方传来奇怪的哭声，听起来像是个孩子……弗朗西丝·霍奇森·伯内特生于1849年，卒于1924年。

她是一位终身作家，写了很多书，《秘密花园》是她的代表作。

1 Little Miss MaryNobody seemed to care about Mary．She was born in India，where her father was a British official．He was busy with his work，and her mother，who was very beautiful， spent all her time going to parties．So an Indian woman，Kamala，was paid to take care of the little girl．Mary was not a pretty child．She had a thin angry face and thin yellow hair． She was always giving orders to Kamala，who had to obey． Mary never thought of other people， but only of herself．In fact，she was a very selfish，disagreeable，bad-tempered little girl．One very hot morning，when she was about nine years old， she woke up and saw that instead of Kamala there was a different Indian servant by her bed．‘What are you doing here？’she asked crossly．‘Go away！ And send Kamala to me at once！’The woman looked afraid．‘I'm sorry，Miss Mary，she—she—she can't come！’Something strange was happening that day．Some of the house servants were missing and everybody looked frightened． But nobody told Mary anything，and Kamala still did not come．So at last Mary went out into the garden，and played by herself under a tree．She pretended she was making her own flower garden，and picked large red flowers to push into the ground．All the time she was saying crossly to herself，‘I hate Kamala！I'll hit her when she comes back！’Just then she saw her mother coming into the garden，with a young Englishman．They did not notice the child，who listened to their conversation．‘It's very bad，is it？’her mother asked the young man in a worried voice．‘Very bad，’he answered seriously．‘People are dying like flies．It's dangerous to stay in this town．You should go to the hills，where there's no disease．’‘Oh，I know！’she cried．‘We must leave soon！’Suddenly they heard loud cries coming from the servants’rooms，at the side of the house．‘What's happened？’cried Mary's mother wildly．‘I think one of your servants has just died．You didn't tell me the disease is here，in your house！’‘I didn't know！’she screamed．‘Quick，come with me！’And together they ran into the house．Now Mary understood what was wrong．The terrible disease had already killed many people in the town，and in all the houses people were dying．In Mary's house it was Kamala who had just died．Later that day three more servants died there．All through the night and the next day people ran in and out of the house，shouting and crying．Nobody thought of Mary． She hid in her bedroom，frightened by the strange and terrible sounds that she heard around her．Sometimes she cried and sometimes she slept．When she woke the next day，the house was silent．‘Perhaps the disease has gone，’she thought，‘and everybody is well again．I wonder who will take care of me instead of Kamala？Why doesn't someone bring me some food？It's strange the house is so quiet．’But just then she heard men's voices in the hall．‘How sad！’ said one．‘That beautiful woman！’‘There was a child too，wasn't there？’said the other．‘Although none of us ever saw her．’Mary was standing in the middle of her room when they opened the door a few minutes later．The two men jumped back in surprise．‘My name is Mary Lennox，’she said crossly．‘I was asleep when everyone was ill，and now I'm hungry．’‘It's the child，the one nobody ever saw！’said the older man to the other．‘They've all forgotten her！’‘Why was I forgotten？’asked Mary angrily．‘Why has nobody come to take care of me？’The younger man looked at her very sadly．‘Poor child！’ he said．‘Yo u see，there's nobody left alive in the house．So nobody can come．’In this strange and sudden way Mary learnt that both her mother and her father had died．The few servants who had not died had run away in the night．No one had remembered little Miss Mary．She was all alone．Because she had never known her parents well，she did not miss them at all．She only thought of herself，as she had always done．‘Where will I live？’she wondered．‘I hope I'll stay with people who'll let me do what I want．’At first she was taken to an English family who had known her parents．She hated their untidy house and noisy children， and preferred playing by herself in the garden．One day she was playing her favourite game，pretending to make a garden， when one of the children，Basil，offered to help．‘Go away！’cried Mary．‘I don't want your help！’For a moment Basil looked angry，and then he began to laugh He danced round and round Mary，and sang a funny little song about Miss Mary and her stupid flowers．This made Mary very cross indeed．No one had ever laughed at her so unkindly．‘You're going home soon，’said Basil．‘And we're all very pleased you're leaving！’‘I'm pleased too，’replied Mary．‘But where's home？’‘You're stupid if you don't know that！’laughed Basil． England，of course！You're going to live with your uncle，Mr Archibald Graven．’‘I've never heard of him，’said Mary coldly．‘But I know about him because I heard Father and Mother talking，’said Basil．‘He lives in a big lonely old house，and has no friends，because he's so badtempered．He's got a crooked back，and he's horrid！’‘I don't believe you！’cried Mary．But the next day Basil's parents explained that she was going to live with her uncle in Yorkshire，in the north of England．Mary looked bored and cross and said nothing．After the long sea journey，she was met in London by Mr Craven's housekeeper，Mrs Medlock．Together they travelled north by train．Mrs Medlock was a large woman，with a very red face and bright black eyes．Mary did not like her，but that was not surprising，because she did not usually like people．Mrs Medlock did not like Mary either．‘What a disagreeable child！’thought thehousekeeper．‘But perhaps I should talk to her．’‘I can tell you a bit about your uncle if you like，’she said aloud．‘He lives in a big old house，a long way from anywhere． There are nearly a hundred rooms，but most of them are shut and locked．There's a big park round the house，and all kinds of gardens．Well，what do you think of that？’‘Nothing，’replied Mary．‘It doesn't matter to me．’Mrs Medlock laughed．‘You're a hard littl e girl！Well，if you don't care，Mr Craven doesn't either．He never spends time on anyone．He's got a crooked back，you see，and although he's always been rich，he was never really happy until he married．’‘Married？’repeated Mary in surprise．‘Yes，he married a sweet，pretty girl，and he loved her deeply．So when she died—’‘Oh！Did she die？’asked Mary，interested．‘Yes，she did．And now he doesn't care about anybody．If he's at home，he stays in his room and sees nobody．He won't want to see you，so you must stay outof his way and do what you're told．’Mary stared out of the train window at the grey sky and the rain．She was not looking forward to life at her uncle's house．The train journey lasted all day，and it was dark when they arrived at the station．Then there was a long drive to get to the house．It was a cold，windy night，and it was raining heavily． After a while Mary began to hear a strange，wild noise．She looked out of the window，but could see nothing except the darkness．‘What's that noise？’she asked Mrs Medlock．‘It's—It's not the sea，is it？’‘No，that's the moor．It's the sound the wind makes，blowing across the moor．’‘What is a moor？’‘It's just miles and miles of wild land，with no trees or houses．Your uncle's house is right on the edge of the moor．’Mary listened to the strange，frightening sound．‘I don't like it，’she thought．‘I don't like it．’She looked moredisagreeable than ever．2 Mary in YorkshireThey arrived at a very large old house．It looked dark and unfriendly from the outside．Inside，Mary looked around the big shadowy hall，and felt very small and lost．They went straight upstairs．Mary was shown to a room where there was a warm fire and food on the table．‘This is your room，’said Mrs Medlock．‘Go to bed when you've had some supper．And remember，you must stay in your room！Mr Craven doesn't want you to wander all over the house！’When Mary woke up the next morning，she saw a young servant girl cleaning the fireplace．The room seemed dark and rather strange，with pictures of dogs and horses and ladies on the walls．It was not a child's room at all．From the window she could not see any trees or houses，only wild land，which looked like a kind of purple sea．‘Who are you？’she asked the servant coldly．‘Martha，miss，’answered the girl with a smile．‘And what's that outside？’Mary con tinued．‘That's the moor，’smiled Martha．‘Do you like it？’‘No，’replied Mary immediately．‘I hate it．’‘That's because you don't know it．You will like it．I love it．It's lovely in spring and summer when there are flowers．It always smells so sweet．The air's so fresh，and the birds sing so beautifully．I never want to leave the moor．’Mary was feeling very badtempered．‘You're a strange servant，’she said．‘In India we don't have conversations with servants．We give orders，and they obey，and that's that．’Martha did not seem to mind Mary's crossness．‘I know I talk too much！’she laughed．‘Are you going to be my servant？’asked Mary．‘Well，not really．I work for Mrs Medlock．I'm going to clean your room and bring you your food，but you won't need a servant except for those things．’‘But who's going to dress me？’Martha stopped cleaning，and stared at Mary．‘Tha’canna'dress thysen？’she asked，shocked．‘What do you mean？ I don't understand your language！’‘Oh，I forgot．We all speak the Yorkshire dialect here，but of course you don't understand that．I meant to say，can't you put on your own clothes？’‘Of course not！My servant always used to dress me．’‘Well！I think you should learn to dress yourself．My mother always says people should be able to take care of themselves， even if they're rich and important．’Little Miss Mary was furious with Martha．‘It's different in India where I come from！You don't know anything about India，or about servants，or about anything！You… you…’She could not explain what she meant．Suddenly she felt very confused and lonely．She threw herself down on the bed and started cryiny wildly．‘Now，now，don't cry like that，’Martha said gently．‘I'm very sorry．You're right，I don't know anything about anything．Please stop crying，miss．’She sounded kind and friendly，and Mary began to feel better and soon stopped crying．Martha went on talking asshe finished her cleaning，but Mary looked out of the window in a bored way，and pretended not to listen．‘I've got eleven brothers and sisters，you know，miss． There's not much money in our house．And they all eat so much food！Mother says it's the good fresh air on the moor that makes them so hungry．My brother Dickon，he's always out on the moor．He's twelve，and he's got a horse which he rides sometimes．’‘Where did he get it？’asked Mary．She had always wanted an animal of her own，and so she began to feel a little interest in Dickon．‘Oh，it's a wild horse，but he's a kind boy，and animals like him，you see．Now you must have your breakfast，miss．Here it is on the table．’‘I don't want it，’said Mary．‘I'm not hungry．’‘What！’ cried Martha．‘My little brothers and sisters would eat all this in five minutes！’‘Why？’asked Mary coldly．‘Because they don't get enough to eat，that's why，and they're always hungry．You're very lucky to have thefood， miss．’Mary said nothing，but she drank some tea and ate a little bread．‘Now put a coat on and run outside to play，’said Martha．‘It'll do you good to be in the fresh air．’Mary looked out of the window at the cold grey sky．‘Why should I go out on a day like this？’she aske d．‘Well，there's nothing to play with indoors，is there？’Mary realized Martha was right．‘But who will go with me？’she said．Martha stared at her．‘Nobody．You'll have to learn to play by yourself Dickon plays by himself on the moors for hours， with the wild birds，and the sheep，and the other animals．’She looked away for a moment．‘Perhaps I shouldn't tell you this， but—but one of the walled gardens is locked up．Nobody's been in it for ten years．It was Mrs Graven's garden，and when she died so suddenly，Mr Craven locked it and buried the key— Oh，I must go，I can hear Mrs Medlock's bell ringing for me．’Mary went downstairs and wandered through the great empty gardens．Many of the fruit and vegetable gardenshad walls round them，but there were no locked doors．She saw an old man digging in one of the vegetable gardens，but he looked cross and unfriendly，so she walked on．‘How ugly it all looks in winter！’she thought．‘But what a mystery the locked garden is！Why did my uncle bury the key？If he loved his wife，why did he hate her garden？Perhaps I'll never know．I don't suppose I'll like him if I ever meet him．And he won't like me，so I won't be able to ask him．’Just then she noticed a robin singing to her from a tree on the other side of a wall．‘I think that tree's in the secr et garden！’she told herself．‘There's an extra wall here，and there's no way in．’She went back to where the gardener was digging，and spoke to him．At first he answered in a very badtempered way，but suddenly the robin flew down near them，and the old man began to smile．He looked a different person then，and Mary thought how much nicer people looked when they smiled．The gardener spoke gently to the robin，and the pretty little bird hopped on the ground nearthem．‘He's my friend，he is，’said the old man．‘There aren't any other robins in the garden，so he's a bit lonely．’He spoke in strong Yorkshire dialect，so Mary had to listen carefully to understand him．She looked very hard at the robin．‘I'm lonely too，’she said．She had not realized this before．‘What's your name？’she asked the gardener．‘Ben Weatherstaff．I'm lonely myself．The robin's my only friend，you see．’‘I haven't got any friends at all，’said Mary．Yorkshire people always say what they are thinking，and old Ben was a Yorkshire moor man．‘We're alike，you and me，’he told Mary．‘We're not pretty to look at，and we're both very disagreeable．’Nobody had ever said this to Mary before．‘Am I really as ugly and disagreeable as Ben？’she wondered．Suddenly the robin flew to a tree near Mary and started singing to her．Ben laughed loudly．‘Well！’he said．‘He wants to be your friend！’‘Oh！Would you please be my friend？’she whispered to the robin．She spoke in a soft，quiet voice and old Ben looked at her in surprise．‘You said that really nicely！’he said．‘You sound like Dickon，when he talks to animals on the moor．’‘Do you know Dickon？’asked Mary．But just then the robin flew away．‘Oh look，he's flown into the garden with no door！ Please，Ben，how can I get into it？’Ben stopped smiling and picked up his spade．‘You can't，and that's that．It's not your business．Nobody can find the door．Run away and play，will you？I must get on with my work．’And he walked away．He did not even say goodbye．In the next few days Mary spent almost all her time in the gardens．The fresh air from the moor made her hungry，and she was becoming stronger and healthier．One day she noticed the robin again．He was on top of a wall，singing to her．‘Good morning！Isn't this fun！Come this way！’he seemed to say， as he hopped along the wall．Mary began to laugh as she danced along besidehim．‘I know the secret garden's on the other side of this wall！’she thought excitedly．‘And the robin lives there！But where's the door？’That evening she asked Martha to stay and talk to her beside the fire after supper．They could hear the wind blowing round the old house， but the room was warm and comfortable． Mary only had one idea in her head．‘Tell me about the secret garden，’she said．‘Well，all right then，miss，but we aren't supposed to talk about it，you know．It was Mrs Graven's favourite garden，and she and Mr Craven used to take care of it themselves．They spent hours there，reading and talking．Very happy，they were． They used the branch of an old tree as a seat．But one day when she was sitting on the branch，it broke，and she fell．She was very badly hurt and the next day she died．That's why he hates the garden so much，and won't let anyone go in there．’‘How sad！’said Mary．‘Poor Mr Craven！’It was the first time that she had ever felt sorry for anyone．Just then，as she was listening to the wind outside，sheheard another noise，in the house．‘Can you hear a child crying？’she asked Martha．Martha looked confused．‘Er—no，’she replied．‘No，I think…it must be the wind．’But at that moment the wind blew open their door and they heard the crying very clearly．‘I told you！’cried Mary．At once Martha shut the door．‘It was the wind，’she repeated．But she did not speak in her usual natural way，and Mary did not believe her．The next day it was very rainy，so Mary did not go out．Instead she decided to wander round the house，looking into some of the hundred rooms that Mrs Medlock had told her about． She spent all morning going in and out of dark，silent rooms， which were full of heavy furniture and old pictures．She saw no servants at all，and was on her way back to her room for lunch， when she heard a cry．‘It's a bit like the cry that I heard last night！’she thought．Just then the housekeeper，Mrs Medlock，appeared，with her keys in her hand．‘What are you doing here？’she asked crossly．‘I didn't know which way to go，and I heard someone crying，’answered Mary．‘You didn't hear anything！Go back to you room now． And if you don't stay there，I'll lock you in！’Mary hated Mrs Medlock for this．‘There was someone crying，I know there was！’she said to herself．‘But I'll discover who it is soon！’She was almost beginning to enjoy herself in Yorkshire．3 Finding the secret gardenWhen Mary woke up two days later，the wind and rain had all disappeared，and the sky was a beautifulblue．‘Spring'll be here soon，’said Marthahappily．‘You'll love the mo or then，when it's full of flowers and birds．’‘Could I get to the moor？’asked Mary．‘You've never done much walking，have you？I don't think you could walk the five miles to our cottage！’‘But I'd like to meet your family，’Mary said．Martha looked at the little girl for a moment．Sheremembered how disagreeable Mary had been when she first arrived． But now，Mary looked interested and friendly．‘I'll ask Mother，’said Martha．‘She can always think of a good plan．She's sensible and hardworking and kind— I know you'll like her．’‘I like Dickon，although I've never seen him．’‘I wonder what Dickon will think of you？’‘He won't like me，’said Mary．‘No one does．’‘But do you like yourself？That's what Mother would ask．’‘No，not really．I've never thought of that．’‘Well，I must go now．It's my day off，so I'm going home to help Mother with the housework．Goodbye，miss．See you tomorrow．’Mary felt lonelier than ever when Martha had gone，so she went outside．The sunshine made the gardens look different．And the change in the weather had even made Ben Weatherstaff easier to talk to．‘Can you smell spring in the air？’he asked her．‘Thingsare growing，deep down in the ground．Soon you'll see little green shoots coming up—young plants，they are．You watch them．’‘I will'replied Mary．‘Oh，there's the robin！’The little bird hopped on to Ben's spade．‘Are things growing in the garden where he lives？’‘What garden？’said Ben，in his badtempered voice．‘You know，the secret garden．Are the flowers dead there？’ She really wanted to know the answer．‘Ask t he robin，’said Ben crossly．‘He's the only one who's been in there for the last ten years．’Ten years was a long time，Mary thought．She had been born ten years ago．She walked away，thinking．She had begun to like the gardens，and the robin，and Martha and Dickon and their mother．Before she came to Yorkshire，she had not liked anybody．She was walking beside the long wall of the secret garden，when a most wonderful thing happened．She suddenly realized the robin was following her．She felt very pleased and excited by this，and cried out，‘You like me，don'tyou？And I like you too！’As he hopped along beside her，she hopped and sang too，to show him that she was his friend．Just then he stopped at a place where a dog had dug a hole in the ground．As Mary looked at the hole，she noticed something almost buried there． She put her hand in and pulled it out．It was an old key．‘Perhaps it's been buried for ten years，’she whispered to herself．‘Perhaps it's the key to the secret garden！’She looked at it for a long time．How lovely it would be to find the garden，and see what had happened to it in the last ten years！She could play in it all by herself，and nobody would know she was there．She put the key safely in her pocket．The next morning Martha was back at Misselthwaite Manor，and told Mary all about her day with her family．‘I really enjoyed myself．I helped Mother with the whole week's washing and baking．And I told the children about you． They wanted to know about your servants，and the ship that brought you to England，and everything！’‘I can tell you some more for next time，’offeredMary．‘They'd like to hear about riding on elephants and camels， wouldn't they？’‘Oh，that would be kind of you，miss！And look，Mother has sent you a present！’‘A present！’repeated Mary．How could a family of fourteen hungry people give anyone a present！‘Mother bought it from a man who came to the door to sell things．She told me，“Martha，you've brought me your pay，like a good girl，and we need it all，but I'm going to buy something for that lonely child at the Manor，”and she bought one，and here it is！’It was a skippingrope．Mary stared at it．‘What is it？’she asked．‘Don't they have skippingropes in India？Well，this is how you use it．Just watch me．’Martha took the rope and ran into the middle of the room． She counted up to a hundred as she skipped．‘That looks lovely，’said Mary ．‘Your mother is very kind．Do you think I could ever skip like that？’‘Just try，’said Martha．‘Mother says it'll make you strongand healthy．Skip outside in the fresh air．’Mary put her coat on and took the skipping-rope．As she was opening the door，she thought of something and turned round．‘Martha，it was your money really．Thank you．’She never thanked people usually and she did not know how to do it．So she held out her hand，because she knew that adults did that．Martha shook her hand and laughed．‘You're a strange child，’she said．‘Like an old woman！Now run away and play！’The skippingrope was wonderful．Mary counted and skipped，skipped and counted，until her face was hot and red． She was having more fun than she had ever had before．She skipped through the gardens until she found Ben Weatherstaff， who was digging and talking to his robin．She wanted them both to see her skip．‘Well！’said Ben．‘You're looking fine and healthy today！ Go on skipping．It's good for you．’Mary skipped all the way to the secret garden wall．Andthere was the robin！He had followed her！Mary was very pleased．‘You showed me where the key was yesterday，’she laughed．‘I've got it in my pocket．So you ought to show me the door today！’The robin hopped on to an old climbing plant on the wall，and sang his most beautiful song．Suddenly the wind made the plant move，and Mary saw something under the dark green leaves．The thick，heavy plant was covering a door．Mary's heart was beating fast and her hands were shaking as she pushed the leaves away and found the keyhole．She took the key out of her pocket，and it fitted the hole．Using both hands， she managed to unlock the door．Then she turned round to see if anyone was watching．But there was no one，so she pushed the door，which opened，slowly，for the first time in ten years． She walked quickly in and shut the door behind her．At last she was inside the secret garden！It was the loveliest，most exciting place she had ever seen． There were old rose trees everywhere，and the walls were covered with climbing roses．She lookedcarefully at the grey branches．Were the roses still alive？Ben would know．She hoped they weren't all dead．But she was inside the wonderful garden，in a world of her own．It seemed very strange and silent，but she did not feel lonely at all．Then she noticed some small green shoots coming up through the grass．So something was growing in the garden after all！When she found a lot more shoots in different places，she decided they needed more air and light，so she began to pull out the thick grass around them．She worked away，clearing the ground，for two or three hours，and had to take her coat off because she got so hot．The robin hopped around，pleased to see someone gardening．She almost forgot about lunch，and when she arrived back in her room，she was very hungry and ate twice as much as usual．‘Martha，’she said as she was eating，‘I've been thinking．This is a big，lonely house，and there isn't much for me to do．Do you think，if I buy a little spade，I can make my own garden？’‘That's just what Mother said，’replied Martha．‘You'd enjoy digging and watching plants growing．Dickon canget you a spade，and some seeds to plant，if you like．’‘Oh，thank you，Martha！ I've got some money that Mrs Medlock gave me．Will you write and ask Dickon to buy them for me？’‘I will．And he'll bring them to you himself．’‘Oh！Then I'll see him．’Mary looked very excited．Then she remembered something．‘I heard that cry in the house again，Martha．It wasn't the wind this time．I've heard it three times now．Who is it？’Martha looked uncomfortable．‘You mustn't go wandering around the house，you know．Mr Craven wouldn't like it．Now I must go and help the others downstairs．I'll see you at teatime．’As the door closed behind Martha，Mary thought to herself，‘Th is really is the strangest house that anyone ever lived in．’4 Meeting DickonMary spent nearly a week working in the secret garden． Each day she found new shoots coming out of the ground．Soon，there would be flowers everywhere—thousands of them．It was an exciting game to her．When she was inside those beautiful old walls，no one knew where she was．During that week she became more friendly with Ben，who was often digging in one of the vegetable gardens．‘What are your favourite flowers，Ben？’she asked him one day．‘Roses．I used to work for a young lady who loved roses，you see，and she had a lot in her garden．That was ten years ago． But she died．Very sad，it was．’‘What happened to the roses？’asked Mary．‘They were left there，in the garden．’‘If rose branches look dry and grey，are they still alive？’ asked Mary．It was so important to know！‘In the spring they'll show green shoots，and then—But why are you so interested in roses？’he asked．Mary's face went red．‘I just…wanted to pretend I've got a garden．I haven't got anyone to play with．’‘Well，that's true，’said Ben．He seemed to feel sorry for her．Mary decided she liked old Ben，although he was。
