Sentence combination
Columbus made four voyages to the west between 1492 and 1504 in his
vain search for a sea route to Asia. The mystery of why he failed to find it
haunted him and filled him with sadness.
Wherever he went-to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, South Africa, Panama,
down the coast of Central America-it was always the same story. Instead of
golden palaces, there were grass huts and palm-leaf tents. Instead of silk-robed merchant princes, he found 〝Indians 〞who did not even have shirts on their backs.
At times Clumbus became reconciled to the truth that his new land was not China, not Japan, not the spice Islands. He seemed to accept it as a part of the
earth that the geographers of Europe had never heard of before. It was another world-and he called it exactly that-but Columbus also insisted until
he died that the land he had reached was an unknown part of Asia.
Precis writing
Simone ’weddings would be the most lavish event since she was born, although her stepmother Alice often lectured her about being financially responsible. When she was preparing for her wedding, Alice always tried to
stop her from spending too much money. But Simone firmly believed that her

Alice told Simone that she had bought her father upt company’whensbankr she fell in love with him. Now, however, her father was both fired a nd divorced. As a result, Simone was broke.

It seems that marriage and money don’tmix, because marriage is a sexy rose-colored event that seems as wonderful as a cake without calories. Money, on the other hand, is the oil that greases the wheel. Money means bussiness and it ’s unsually the last topic you want to discuss when you announce your engagement.
Beyond the expenses that you will incur with your wedding and honeymoon, money may provide most of the contention with your marriage.
While discussions about money might seem unromantic at this moment, it’s best to talk about the future now before that marriage makes you legally
bound to each other. Once you’ve said,〝I do,〞some things can’tbe undone.ⅢListening comprehension

The Strange Story of Lady Be Good
It was a hot afternoon in September 1963. A small party of engineers in a
truck were exploring, looking for oil in the southeastern desert of Libya. They were about four hundred miles south of the Libyan coast. The desert was hot, dry, flat and empty. The air was very clear.
The men suddenly noticed a strange shape on the horizon, far away. It was
a mirage, they thought. Heat and light often played tricks on their eyes. The shape looked rather like an aeroplane on the ground. But the nearest landing ground, they knew, was at their own camp, a hundred and twenty miles to the north. As they drove slowly towards it, the shape grew clearer. It really did
look like an aeroplane and seemed less than twenty miles away.
Two hours later the party stood beside a wartime bomber. Her name, Lady
Be Good, was painted in white letters below the cockpit. She was shining in
the evening sunlight, and in some ways she looked almost new.
The bomber had lost her wheels, and her propellers were bent. She lay flat
on the sand, but her body and wings were undamaged. The men opened a
door — it opened easily—and went inside. The plane was shining inside, too. The controls, the radio, the instruments—all seemed perfect. In the small kitchen there were biscuits, tins of soup, and even some water in an airtight

tank. Maps were lying on a table nearby. There were instructions to the crew
and several radio reports, with dates. The dates were all in 1942.
The visitors understood the tragedy of Lady Be Good. She had lost her way
home, one night in 1942. She used up all her petrol and had come down in
the desert. And there she had stayed for twenty-one years.
She is still there. The dry, hot winds keep her clean. No rain ever falls on her
in that desert. She may still be bright and shining in a hundred years
But what happened to her crew? The bones of five men were later found
between thirty and sixty miles north of the bomber. The remains, including
the remains of four parachutes, were widely separated. The men’ s n written on small metal plates that hung down from the neck-bones.
The story was clear. In case of a bad landing, the pilot had ordered his crew
to jump by parachute. He himself had remained at the controls. The men had
begun to walk to the north. But the desert had very quickly brought death to
all of them.
