With only 1.5 million people, it is smaller than many Chinese cities. Its capital, Belfast, is a relatively small town of around 350 000 people, but is much the biggest city in the province. Though Northern Ireland is small it is significant because of the political troubles there.Physically, it is mostly rural, with low hills, a beautiful lake district in the south-west, and a rugged coastline, which includes its most famous landmark, the "Giant' s Causeway"~, a rocky promontory made up of black hexagonal columns formed by cooling lava millions of years ago. Legend has it that the giant Finn MaCool built it to cross the sea to Scotland. The nature of its link to Great Britain has been a key element in Northern Ireland's history, and remains an issue today.2.Detailed study of this partNorthern Ireland has an active cultural life with many theatres,restaurants, pubs and museums: its best known poet, Seamus Heaney,won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1995. Film-maker Neil Jordan won an Oscar for the "Best Original Screenplay” in 1992 with his film The Crying Game. Van Morrison is an internationally famous pop musician. Brian Friel4 is a playwright whose stageplays are acclaimed in London and Dublin as well as further afield.The Northern Ireland economy has its problems, partly as a result of the troubles discouraging investment, partly as a result of its peripherality in relation to the UK. Its wealth per head is the lowest of any UK region. Nevertheless living costs are also comparatively low, and a standard of living is possible for those of middle to upper incomes which many Londoners might envy. Industrial companies there include the aircraft manufacturers, Shorts, who build small commuter aircraft, as well as parts for other manufacturers such as Boeing, and the UK's largest shipbuilders, Harland and Woolf.This chapter will concentrate on the political problems of Northern Ireland, because unfortunately that is what is best knownHistoryabout it, though often not well understood. However, you should remember that it is a place where ordinary life continues, to which the troubles are an addition, rather than the main preoccupationof everyday life. Apart from the troubles, crime is very low, and even including political violence the murder-rate is much lower than in most American cities. Also the problems are mainly concentrated in particular areas, (where the troubles cannot be ignored for long, and where everyone would know a victim), but away from these places they might almost be forgotten, at least until the evening newspaper is delivered, or an armoured car drives by.However, there was a problem. The majority of Irish people were descendants of the original Celtic people who inhabited the British Isles before the Romans arrived 2 000 years ago. Ireland was not invaded by the Romans, or settled by the Anglo-Saxons who followed them into Britain, thus they were ethnically distinct from the majority of British people. Adding to this difference was religion: most Irish people remained Catholics, while most British people had become Protestants. But in one part of Ireland this was not, and is not, the case. In the seventeenth century, the English government, trying to increase its control of Ireland, encouraged people from Scotland and Northern England to emigrateto the troublesome north of Ireland. As a result the northeastern part of Ireland gained a population who saw themselves differently from the rest of the Irish people. They thought of themselves as British, and wished to remain a part of the British state. Also, they were Protestants. In 1921 the idea of being a part of an independent Irish State, where most people were Catholic, did notUntil 1921 the full name of the UK was "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland", not only "Northern Ireland", because the whole island of Ireland was politically integrated with Great Britain, and had been since 1801, while Britain's domination of the Irish dated back centuries even before that date. But Irish desires for an independent Irish state were never lost, and one of the key issues in late nineteenth century British politics was a campaign in parliament for what was called "home-rule" Irish political control of Irish affairs. The Home Rule Bill5 was finally passed in 1914, but the process was overtaken by the First World War and was suspended for the duration of the war.Along with the political campaign for home-rule there were groups who followed a more direct method of pursuing Irish independence, engaging in guerilla or terrorist activities against British institutions and the British military forces. During the first World War and immediately after, this activity increased, sometimes brutally suppressed by British forces. The Easter Rising of 1916' was the most spectacular event, in which the rebels took over Dublin's Post Office, forcing the British to retake it by military means. The leaders of the rebellion were executed. In 1919 a group calling itself the IRAs (Irish Republican Army) expanded the fighting. In the end the conflict became too great to ignore, and as the Sinn Fein ("Ourselves Alone") party9, who were supporters of the Irish terrorists (or freedom-fighters, depending on your point of view), gained most of the Irish seats in the British parliament, Irish independence became inevitable.appeal. On the other hand they could not "go home"-- Ireland wasThe Troublestheir home: they had been there 250 years or more. They had shown in 1913 that they would not accept union with Ireland by organising a show of force, and put 100000 armed men in the streets of Northern IrelandFaced with these conflicting demands the British government chose a compromise and organised a partition of Ireland. The southern 26 counties would form an independent "free state", while the 6 north-eastern counties would remain a part of the UK. This is what happened in 1921, bringing to an end 700 years of British rule in southern Ireland.Unlike the other nations in the UK, Northern Ireland was given its own Parliament to deal with Northern Irish internal affairs, based at Stormont, just outside Belfast. The problem was that just as Ireland had not been purely "Republican" (for an independent Irish Republic) so in the 6 northern counties the population was not purely "Loyalist”or "Unionist" (for union with Great Britain, loyal to the British Crown). Nearly 40% of the populations were Catholic Irish, many of whom resented the North's separation from the south. To worsen the situation, the Protestants, being the majority, controlled the local democratically elected parliament, and used that power to support their own economic and social dominance in the province. Catholics found it harder to get jobs, or to benefit from social programmes such as public housing. Understandably resentment grew, and the armed conflict known as the "troubles" developed.Following the example of Black Americans, in the 1960s Catholics in Northern Ireland began a Civil Rights Movement, campaigning for equality, often marching in the streets. Groups of Protestants began to organise counter-demonstrations, and e out. Protestant mobs attacked catholic areas. The police (The Royal Ulster Constabulary, RUC) were overwhelmed by the fighting, and the Northern Irish Prime Minister asked London for soldiers to help restore order. In 1969,the first British soldiers were see n on Northern Irish streets. They have been there ever since.They came first to protect the Catholic people, and news film of the time shows them being offered cups of tea by grateful Catholics, however, the longer they stayed, the more they were seen as the symbol of British rule in Northern Ireland. The IRA at this time split. The Official IRA thought enough progress had been made that they could concentrate on a political process, and run candidates for elections, but a strong faction felt that armed force was the only way to get the British out, and separated from the officials, calling themselves the "Provisional IRA". It is this group which has continued the conflict for the last 25 years, and it is them that are usually referred to by talk about the IRA.In the early 1970s the IRA carded out a campaign of bombing and shooting, usually targeting the security forces, but often bombing city centres. Usually they gave warnings, but not always. The British Security forces were strengthened, with up to 20 000 soldiers, and 10 000 armed police in the province. They were forced to patrol in bullet-proof armoured cars, and to fortify police-stations and barracks, always being under threat of the IRA's activities. The Protestants formed their own illegal "paramilitary" groups and took revenge on Catholics, often murdering individuals at random. Catholics in mainly Protestant areas, and Protestants in mainly Catholic areas were threatened, and sometimes their houses burned down, causing each to flee. The result is that now Northern Irish cities are "ghettoised" into exclusively Protestant and exclusively Catholic areasn. As their children also attend separate schools the two communities hardly mix at all. In 1971 the Northern Irish government took the desperate step of imprisoning terrorist suspects from both sides without trial, a policy known as "internmentm3. This suspension of civil fights caused anger on both sides, and, if anything, intensified the conflict~4 (The policy was ended in 1975, and is now seen as a major mistake in the handling of the crisis).In the following year, 1972, 468 people were killed in Northern Ireland, the worst year of the troubles. These included 13 Catholics who had been taking part in a peaceful (though banned) civil rights ma rch. They were shot dead by British soldiers. This was a key event in strengthening Catholic opposition to the British presence. This day has now been mythologised as "Bloody Sunday”s, an important symbol of British oppression.While attempting to maintain normality through a massive and increasingly effective security presence the government looked for political solutions to the troubles. In 1973, an agreement was reached between the main political parties in Northern Ireland, and importantly, the British and Irish governments. This led to a new form for the Northern Irish Parliament, with a Power-Sharing mechanism~6 to allow the minority Catholic population political influence. This, especially the Irish involvement, outraged the Protestant majority, leading to a massive and prolonged strike by the Protestant workforce, eventually leading to the collapse of the power-sharing group.At this point the British government decided that the Northern Irish parliament could not govern the province effectively, and suspended it, replacing it with "direct-rule" from London. This is still the situation today. The IRA's bombing campaign extended to the mainland of Great Britain, but even so the troubles settled down to a peculiar level of semi Britain, but even so the troubles settled down to a peculiar level of semi acceptability. People had got used to it. Both sides continued the conflict, but the British forces kept the scale down to a lower level than in While attempting to maintain normality through a massive and increasingly effective security presence the government looked for political solutions to the troubles. In 1973, an agreement was reached between the main political parties in Northern Ireland, and importantly, the British and Irish the early 1970s, and through the late 1970s and the 1980s the death rate averaged around 90 per year. It didn't get worse, but neither could anyone see an end to it. A visitor to Belfast from England in the 1980s found a city which looked very much like home, but then might be shocked by seeing a police patrol with two armed policemen (shocking in itself to the British, whose police do not carry guns) protected by perhaps ten heavily armed British soldiers walking on both sides of the street ahead of and behind the policemen,looking through their guns’ telescopic sights for any sign of danger. Meanwhile the people of Belfast would be walking amongst them, doing their shopping, taking their children to school, apparently hardly noticing the military force in their midst, the armoured car cruising by. Life went onTowards a Solution?The British government still felt that involving the Southern Irish in Northern Irish affairs was the right way to proceed despite the disaster of power-sharing in the 1970s. It should not be thought that the Irish government supports the IRA: they do not (following independence in 1921 a civil war was fought between the Irish government's forces and the IRA which the Irish government won, executing 3 times as many IRA men as the British ever had). The IRA is thus an illegal organization there too, and the British and Irish governments work together on a range of security matters. Nevertheless, the Irish do seek to protect the rights of Catholics in Northern Ireland, and it is still a part of the Irish constitutionthat they claim sovereignty over the 6 northern counties also, which makes the Protestants of the north suspicious of their intentions. However, in 1985 the Anglo-Irish agreement was signed between the two governments, giving the Irish a right to consultation on Northern Irish matters. Again, huge Protestant protest followed with the "Ulster says No" campaign. This time the government did not give in and the Anglo-Irish agreement is still in effect. A series of big bombs in London in the late 1980s and early 1990s increased pressure on the British government to come up with a solution.Through the actions of a constitutional Nationalist politician, John Hume, leader of the SDLP, and the leader of Sinn Fein, Gerry Adams, in August 1994, to most peoples' surprise, the IRA declared a ceasefire. Protestant paramilitary groups did the same. Everyone breathed a sighof relief, but the problem was not solved, though for the moment no one was being killed.The problem lay in the "commitment to peaceful methods" aspectof the possible talks. The British government felt that to make the Sinn Fein presence at the talks acceptable to the Unionist politicians, the IRA should hand over at least some of its weapons to show its seriousness. The IRA saw this as surrender, and refused. Time went on with various unsuccessful attempts to get over this hurdle. After 18 months of peace, the IRA's patience broke. They ended their ceasefire and set off two explosions in London, killing a number of people. At the moment of writing (April 1996) this is how the situation stands. Brit ain has offered Sinn Fein a place at talks planned to begin in June, if the IRA will declare another ceasefire. They have not done so. Province-wide elections are planned under a complex formula to ensure a wide rangeof representation on the body which will carry out these talks, in an attempt to give them legitimacy. Without the participation of Sinn Fein and the IRA it is hard to see them succeeding. Northern Ireland is poised on the brink--a new peaceful future, or a return to the violence that has claimed 3150 lives so far.3. exercises: do the exercises on page 27-30。

1 The man who diedI returned to my flat at about three o'clock on that May afternoon very unhappy with life. I has been back in Britain for three months and I was already bored. The weather was bad,the people were dull,and the amusements of London seemed as exciting as a glass of cold water.'Richard Hannay,' I told myself,'you have made a mistake,and you had better do something about it.'It made me angry when I thought of the years I had spent in Africa. I had spent those years working very hard and making money. Not a lot of money,but enough for me. I had left Scotland when I was six years old,and I had never been home since. For years I had dreamt of coming home to Britain and spending the rest of my life there,but I was disappointed with the place after the first week. And so here I was,thirty-seven years old,healthy,with enough money to have a good time,and bored to death.That evening I went out to dinner and sat reading the newspapers afterwards. They were full of the troubles in south-east Europe,and there was a long report about Karolides,the GreekPrime Minister. He seemed to be an honest man,but some people in Europe hated him. However,many people in Britain liked him,and one newspaper said that he was the only man who could prevent a war starting. I remember wondering if I could get a job in south-east Europe lt l bthitimge a oess boring than life in London.As I walked home that night,I decided to give Britain one more day. If nothing interesting happened,I would take the next boat back to Africa.My flat was in a big new building in Langham Place. There was a doorman at the entrance to the building,but each flat was separate,with its own front door. I was just putting the key into my door when a man appeared next to me. He was thin,with a short brown beard and small,very bright eyes. I recognized him as the man who lived in a flat on the top floor of the building. We had spoken once or twice on the stairs.'Can I speak to you?'he asked. 'May I come in for a minute?'His voice was shaking a little.I opened the door and we went in.'Is the door locked?'he asked,and quickly locked it himself.'I'm very sorry,'he said to me. 'It's very rude of me. But I'm in a dangerous corner and you looked like the kind of man who would understand. If I explain,will you help me?' 'I'll listen to you,'I said. 'That's all I promise. 'I was getting worried by this strange man's behaviour.There was a table with drinks on it next to him,and he took a large whisky for himself. He drank it quickly,and then put the glass down so violently that it broke.'I'm sorry,'he said. 'I'm a little nervous tonight. You see,at this moment I'm dead. 'I sat down in an armchair and lit my pipe.'How does it feel?'I asked. I was now almost sure that the man was mad.He smiled. 'I'm not mad-yet. Listen,I've been watching you,and I guess that you're not easily frightened. I'm going to tell you my story. I need help very badly,and I want to know ifyou're the right man to ask. ''Tell me your story,'I said,'and I'll tell you if I can help you. 'It was an extraordinary story. I didn't understand all of it,and I had to ask a lot of questions,but here it is:His name was Franklin P. Scudder and he was an American,but he had been in south-east Europe for several years. By accident he had discovered a group of People who were working secretly to push Europe towards a war. These people were clever,and dangerous. Some of them wanted to change the world through war;others simply wanted to make a lot of money,and there is always money to be made tanyamreGdissuR from a war. Their plan was to get a an war with each other.'I want to stop them,'Scudder told me,'and if I can stay alive for another month,I think I can. ''I thought you were already dead,'I said.'I'll tell you about that in a minute,'he answered. 'But first,do you know who Constantine Karolides is?''The Greek Prime Minister. I've just been reading about him in today's newspapers. ''Right. He's the only man who can stop the war. He's intelligent,he's honest,and he knows what's going on-and so his enemies plan to kill him. I have discovered how. That was very dangerous for me,so I had to disappear. They can't kill Karolides in Greece because he has too many guards. But on the 15th of June he's coming to London for a big meeting,and his enemies plan to kill him here. ''You can warn him,'I said. 'He'll stay at home. ''That's what his enemies want. If he doesn't come,they'll win,because he's the only man who understands the whole problem and who can stop the war happening. ''Why don't you go to the British police?'I said.'No good. They could bring in five hundred policemen,but they wouldn't stop the murder. The murderer will be caught,and he'll talk and put the blame on The governments in Vienna and Berlin. It will all be lies,of course,but everybody will be ready to believe it. But none of this will happen if Franklin P. Scudder is here in London on the 15th of June. 'I was beginning to like this strange little man. I gave him another whisky and asked him why he thought that he was now in danger himself.He took a large mouthful of whisky. 'I came to London by a strange route-through Paris,Hamburg,Norway,and Scotland. I changed my name in every country,And when I got to London,I thought I was safe. But yesterday I realized that they're still following me. There's a man watching this building and last night somebody put a card under my door. On it was the name of the man I fear most in the world.'So I decided I had to die. Then they would stop looking for me. I ot a dead body-it's easy to get one in London,if you know how-and I had the body brought to my flat in alarge suitcase. The body was the right age,but the face was different from mine. I dressed it in my clothes and shot it in the face with my own gun. My servant will find me when hearrives in the morning and he'll call the police. I've left a lot of empty whisky bottles in my room.The police will think I drank too much and then killed myself. 'He paused. 'I watched fromthe window until I saw you come home,and then came down the stairs you. 'It was the strangest of stories. However,in my experience,the most extra ordinary stories are often the true ones. And if the man just wanted to get into my flat and murder me,whydidn't he tell a simpler story?'Right' I said. 'I'll trust you for tonight. I'll lock you in this room and keep the key. Just one word,Mr Scudder. I believe you're honest,but if you're not,I should warn you that I know how to use a gun. ''Certainly,'he answered,jumping up. 'I'm afraid I don't know your name,sir,but I would like to thank you. And could I use your bathroom?'When I next saw him,half an hour later,I didn't recognize him at first. Only the bright eyes were the same. His beard was gone,and his hair was com letely different. He walked like a soldier,and he was wearing glasses. And he no longer spoke like an American.'Mr Scudder—'I cried.'Not Mr Scudder,'he answered. 'Captain The ophilus Dig by of the British Army. Please remember that.'I made him a bed in my study,and then went to bed myself,happier than I had been for the past month. Interesting things did happen sometimes,even in London.The next morning when my servant Paddock arrived,I introduced him to Captain Dig by. I explained that the Captain was an important man in the army,but he had been working too hard and needed rest and quiet. Then I went out,leaving them both in the flat. When I returned atabout lunchtime,the door man told me that the gentleman in flat15 had killed himself. I went up to the top floor,had a few words with the police,and was able to report to Scudder that his plan had been successful. The police believed that the dead man was Scudder,and that he had killed himself. Scudder was very pleased.For the first two days in my flat,he was very calm,and spent all his time reading and smoking,and writing in a little black notebook. But after that he became more restless and nervous. It was not his own danger that he worried about,but the success of his plan to prevent the murder of Karolides. One night he was very serious.'Listen,Hannay,'he said. 'I think I must tell you some more about this business. I would hate to get killed without leaving someone else to carry on with my plan. 'I didn't listen very carefully. I was interested in Scudder's adventures,but I wasn't very interested in politics. I remember that he said Karolides was only in danger in London. He also mentioned a woman called Julia Czechenyi. He talked about a Black Stone dbidh And and a man who lisped when he spoke. e escreanother man,perhaps the most dangerous of them all-an old man with a young voice who could hood his eyes like a hawk.The next evening I had to go out. I was meeting a man I had known in Africa for dinner. When I returned to the flat,I was surprised to see that the light in the study was out. I wondered if Scudder had gone to bed early. I turned on the light,but there was nobody there. Then I saw something in the corner that made my blood turn cold.Scudder was lying on his back. There was a long knife through his heart,pinning him to the floor.1死人五月的那个下午三点来钟我回到寓所,过得很不开心。
大学高级英语课文翻译
第一课救赎 ----兰斯顿.休斯在我快13岁那年,我的灵魂得到了拯救,然而并不是真正意义上的救赎。
事情是这样的。
那时我的阿姨里德所在的教堂正在举行一场盛大的宗教复兴晚会。
数个星期以来每个夜晚,人们在那里讲道,唱诵,祈祷。
连一些罪孽深重的人都获得了耶稣的救赎,教堂的成员一下子增多了。
就在复兴晚会结束之前,他们为孩子们举行了一次特殊的集会——把小羊羔带回羊圈。
里德阿姨数日之前就开始和我提这件事。
那天晚上,我和其他还没有得到主宽恕的小忏悔者们被送去坐在教堂前排,那是为祷告的人安排的座椅。
我的阿姨告诉我说:“当你看到耶稣的时候,你看见一道光,然后感觉心里似乎有什么发生。
从此以后耶稣就进入了你的生命,他将与你同在。
你能够看见、听到、感受到他和你的灵魂融为一体。
”我相信里德阿姨说的,许多老人都这么说,似乎她们都应该知道。
尽管教堂里面拥挤而闷热,我依然静静地坐在那里,等待耶稣的到来。
布道师祷告,富有节奏,非常精彩。
呻吟、喊叫、寂寞的呼喊,还有地狱中令人恐怖的画面。
然后他唱了一首赞美诗。
诗中描述了99只羊都安逸的待在圈里,唯有一个被冷落在外的情形。
唱完后他说道:“难道你不来吗?不来到耶稣身旁吗?小羊羔们,难道你们不来吗?”他向坐在祷告席上的小忏悔者们打开了双臂,小女孩们开始哭了,她们中有一些很快跳了起来,跑了过去。
我们大多数仍然坐在那里。
许多长辈过来跪在我们的身边开始祷告。
老妇人的脸像煤炭一样黑,头上扎着辫子,老爷爷的手因长年的工作而粗糙皲裂。
他们吟唱着“点燃微弱的灯,让可怜的灵魂得到救赎”的诗歌。
整个教堂里到处都是祈祷者的歌声。
最后其他所有小忏悔者们都去了圣坛上,得到了救赎,除了一个男孩和依然静静地坐着等侯的我。
那个男孩是一个守夜人的儿子,名字叫威斯特里。
在我们的周围尽是祈祷的修女执事。
教堂里异常闷热,天色也越来越暗了。
最后威斯特里小声对我说:“去他妈的上帝。
我再也坐不住了,我们站起来吧,就可以得到救赎了。
”于是他就站了起来,也因此得到了救赎。

远大前程(牛津书虫中英文双版本)
简介总是希望和周围的朋友攀比,这是人类的一大弱点。
如果他们有钱,我们也希望有钱。
如果他们很穷,那么我们也不在乎同样受穷。
我们不会因为自己的愚蠢而羞愧,我们只会因为比周围的朋友更蠢才感到羞愧。
这就是“人比人”的问题。
其实这里还有“往前看”的问题。
我们无所谓错过什么,假如从未期待拥有。
我们也不会因为贫穷而失望,既然我们不曾指望富有。
匹普又穷又没受过什么教育,但好在他的朋友们也都一样。
对他们来说,这并没有什么;这就是生活的本来面目。
然而,一旦匹普得知他有“远大前程”,他开始不再安分了。
他羞于与自己的伙伴们为伍,他甚至还自惭形秽。
他的“前程”显然有摧毁他的生活的“危险”。
查尔斯·狄更斯(1812—1870)是英国最伟大的小说家之一。
尽管出生清贫(他父亲因负债而入狱),他却在有生之年获得盛名而且富有。

was what every-body called me.I lived in a small village in Essex with my sister,who was over twenty years older than me,and married to Joe Gargery,the village blacksmith.My parents had died when I was a baby,so I could not remember them at all,but quite often I used to visit the churchyard,abut a mile from the village,to look at their names on their gravestones.My first memory is of sitting on a gravestone in that church-yard one cold,grey,December afternoon,looking out at the dark,flat,wild marshes divided by the black line of the River Thames,and listening to the rushing sound of the sea in the distance.‘Don't say a word!’cried a terrible voice,as a man jumped up from among the graves and caught hold of me.‘If you shout I'll cut your throat!’He was a big man,dressed all in grey,with an iron chain on his leg.His clothes were wet and torn.He looked exhausted,and hungry,and very fierce.I had never been so frightened in my whole life.‘Oh!Don't cut my throat,sir!’I begged in terror.‘Tell me your name,boy!Quick!’he said,still holding me.‘And show me where you live!’‘My name's Pip,sir.And I live in the village over there.’He picked me up and turned me upside-down.Nothing fell out of my pocket except a piece of old bread.He ate it in two bites,like a dog,and put me back on the gravestone.‘So where are your father and mother?’he asked.‘There,sir,’I answered,pointing to their graves.‘What!’he cried,and was about to run,when he saw where I was pointing.‘Oh!’he said.‘I see.They're dead.Well,who do you live with,if I let you live,which I haven't decided yet?’‘With my sister,sir,wife of Joe Gargery,the blacksmith.’Blacksmith,you say?And he looked down at his leg.Then he held me by both arms and stared fiercely down into my eyes.‘Now look here.You bring me a file.You know what that is?And you bring me some food.If you don't,or if you tell anyone about me,I'll cut your heart out.’‘I promise I'll do it,sir,’I answered.I was badly fright ened and my whole body was trembling .‘You see,’he continued,smiling unpleasantly,‘I travel with a young man,a friend of mine,who roasts boys’hearts and eats them.He'll find you,wherever you are,and he'll have your heart.So bring the file and the food to that wooden shelter over there,early tomorrow morning,if you want to keep your heart,that is Remember,you promised!’I watched him turn and walk with difficulty across the marshes,the chain hanging clumsily around his leg.Then I ran home as fast as I could.My sister,Mrs Joe Gargery,was very proud of the fact that she had brought me up‘by hand’.Nobody explained to me what this meant,and because she had a hard and heavy hand,which she used freely on her husband as well as me,I supposedthat Joe and I were both brought up by hand.She was not a beautiful woman,being tall and thin,with black hair and eyes and a very red face.She clearly felt that Joe and I caused her a lot of trouble,and she frequently complained about it.Joe,on the other hand,was a gentle,kind man with fair hair and weak blue eyes,who quietly accepted her scolding.Because Joe and I were in the same position of being scolded by Mrs Joe,we were good friends,and Joe protected me from her anger whenever he could.So when I ran breathless into the kitchen,he gave me a friendly warning.‘She's out look-ing for you,Pip!And she's got the stick with her!’This stick had been used so often for beating me that it was now quite smooth.Just then Mrs Joe rushed in.‘Where have you been,you young monkey?'she shouted.I jumped behind Joe to avoid being hit with the stick.‘Only to the churchyard,’I whispered,starting to cry.‘Churchyard!If I hadn't brought you up,you'd be in the churchyard with our parents.You'll send me to the church-yard one day!Now let me get your supper ready,both of you!’For the rest of the evening,I thought of nothing but the stranger on the marshes.Sometimes,as the wind blew round the house,I imagined I heard his voice outside,and I thought with horror of the young man who ate boys’hearts.Just before I went to bed,we heard the sound of a big gun on the marshes.‘Was that a gun,Joe?’I asked.‘Ah!'said Joe.‘Another convict's escaped.One got away last night.They always fire the gun when one escapes.’‘Who fires the gun?’I asked.Joe shook his head to warn me.‘Too many questions,’frowned my sister.‘If you must know it's the men in the prison-ships who fire the gun.’‘I wonder who is put into prison-ships,and why?’I asked,in a general way,quietly desperate to know the answer.This was too much for Mrs Joe.‘Listen,my boy,I didn't bring you up by hand to annoy people to death!There are ships on the river which are used as prisons.People who steal and murder are put in the prison-ships,and they stay there for years sometimes.And they always begin their life of crime by asking too many questions!Now,go to bed!’I could not sleep at all that night.I was in terror of the young man who wanted my heart,I was in terror of the man with the iron chain,I was in terror of my sister,who would soon discover I had stolen her food.As soon as there was a lit-tle light in the sky outside my window,I got up and went qui-etly down to the kitchen.I stole some bread,cheese and a big meat pie,hoping that,as there was a lot of food ready for Christmas,nobody would notice what was missing.I did not dare take the whole brandy bottle,so I poured some into a smaller bottle to take away with me.Then I filled up the brandy bottle with what I thought was water from a big brown bottle.I took a file from Joe's box of tools,and ran out on to the dark marshes.The mist was so thick that I could not see anything.Al-though I knew my way to the shelter very well,I almost got lost this time.I was near it when I saw a man sitting on the ground,half asleep.I went up and touched his shoulder.He jumped up,and it was the wrong man!He was dressed in grey,too,and had an iron chain on his leg.He ran away into the mist.‘It's the young man!’I thought,feeling a pain in my heart.When I arrived at the shelter,I found the right man.He looked so cold and hungry that I felt sorry for him.Trembling violently he swallowed the brandy and ate the food like a hunt-ed animal,looking around him all the time for danger.‘You're sure you didn't tell anyone?Or bring anyone?’‘No,sir.I'm glad you're enjoying the food,sir.’‘Thank you,my boy.You've been good to a poor man.’‘But I'm afraid there won't be any left for him.’‘Him?Who's that?’My friend stopped in the middle of eating.‘The young man who travels with you.’‘Oh,him!’he replied,smiling.‘He doesn't want any food.’‘I thought he looked rather hungry,’I answered.He stared at me in great surprise.‘Looked?When?’‘Just now,over there.I found him half asleep and I thought it was you.He was dressed like you,and—’I was anxious to express this politely‘-he had the same reason for wanting to borrow a file.’‘Then I did hear them fire the gun last night!You know,boy,when you're on the marsh alone at night,you imagine all kinds of things,voices calling,guns firing,soldiers marching!But show me where this man went.I'll find him and I'll fin-ish with him!I'll smash his face!Give me the file first.’I was afraid of him now that he was angry again.‘I'm sorry,I must go home now,’I said.He did not seem to hear,so I left him bending over his leg and filing away at his iron chain like a madman.Halfway home I stopped in the mist to listen,and I could still hear the sound of the file.1 匹普与一位陌生人相遇我的教名叫菲利普,但是在我小时候,我仅会说匹普。

专四阅读详解 生活励志
星期1 MondayText AAll the trouble began when my grandfather died and my grandmother — my father’s mother — came to live with us. Relations in the one house are a strain at the best of times, but, to make matters worse, my grandmother was a real old country woman and quite unsuited to the life in town. She had a fat, wrinkled old face, and, to Mother’s great indignation, went round the house in bare feet — the boots had her crippled, she said. For dinner she had a jug of porter and a pot of potatoes with — sometimes — a bit of salt fish, and she poured out the potatoes on the table and ate them slowly, with great relish, using her fingers by way of a fork.Now, girls are supposed to be fastidious(爱挑剔的), but I was the one who suffered most from this. Nora, my sister, just sucked up to the old woman for the penny she got every Friday out of the old-age pension, a thing I could not do. I was too honest, that was my trouble. When I was playing with Bill Connell, the sergeant-major’s son, and saw my grandmother steering up the path with the jug of porter sticking out from beneath her shawl, I was mortified(使失面子). I made excuses not to let him come into the house, because I could never be sure what she would be up to when we went in.When Mother was at work and my grandmother made the dinner, I wouldn’t touch it. Nora once tried to make me, but I hid under the table from her and took the bread knife with me for protection. Nora let on to be very indignant (she wasn’t, of course, but she knew Mother saw through her, so she sided with gran) and came after me. I lashed out at her with the bread knife, and after that she left me alone, I stayed there till mother came in from work and made my dinner, but when Father came in later, Nora said in a shocked voice: “Oh, Daddy, do you know what Jackie did at dinner time?” Then, of course, it all came out; Father gave me a flaking; Mother interfered, and for days after that he didn’t speak to me and Mother barely spoke to Nora. And all because of that old woman! God knows, I was heart-scalded.1. What might “suck up to” in Para. 2 most probably mean?[A] Completely ignore. [B] Criticize severely.[C] Intentionally irritate. [D] Try to make oneself liked.2. In the passage, all of the following apply to the grandmother EXCEPT that she[A] liked drinking porter. [B] didn’t like wearing boots at home.[C] ate with her hands. [D] was not good at cooking.3. Why didn’t Jackie let Bill Connell come into the house?[A] Because Jackie didn’t want Bill to see his messy room.[B] Because Jackie didn’t want to be embarrassed.[C] Because Jackie didn’t like Bill at all.[D] Because Jackie’s parents didn’t allow him to do that.4. What is NOT true about the relations of the family in the passage?[A] Both Jackie and Mother felt angry towards Grandmother.[B] Father didn’t like the way Jackie treated Grandmother.[C] Grandmother hated the other members of the family.[D] Mother felt angry with Nora after Jackie got a good beat by Father.Text BDiana, Princess of Wales, once devoted her life to the charity. The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund is an independent grant-giving charity established in September 1997 to continue the Princess’s humanitarian work in the United Kingdom and overseas. This warm-hearted princess died on Sunday, 31 August 1997 following a car crash in Paris. There was widespread public mourning at the death of this popular figure, culminating with her funeral at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, 6 September 1997. Several years passed; British hearings into the deaths of Princess Diana and her companion Dodi Al Fayed will be held in public after a decision that they should be conducted in secret was reversed, judicial authorities said on Thursday. (Dec. 7) The original decision of the presiding judge Dame Elizabeth Bulter-Sloss had been strongly criticized by Fayed’s father Mohamed, the owner of the exclusive London store Harrods. He said he had tirelessly fought for truth and justice against an army of dark forces who do not want the truth to become public and he simply asked for honesty, fairness and openness.The preliminary hearings, scheduled for next month, are the latest step in efforts to get to the bottom of the death of the Diana, ex-wife of British heir to the throne Britain’s Prince Charles. Diana, who was 36, Fayed and their chauffeur Henri Paul died when their Mercedes limousine smashed into the wall in a Pairs road tunnel in 1997. A two-year French inquiry blamed the crash on the chauffeur Paul, saying he was drunk, under the influence of anti-depressants and driving too fast.The British inquest was opened in January 2004 and then royal coroner Michel Burgess asked police to hold a top-level investigation into the circumstances and surroundings which led to the deaths. Burgess said he wanted John Stevens to examine conspiracy theories. This theory states that the couples were murdered by British spies to cover the royal embarrassment about their relationship.Diana and Charles had two sons, Princes William and Henry, but their marriage ended in divorce.Steven is due to unveil his three-year investigation next week. His report, scheduled to be published on Dec. 14, is widely expected to a conclusion that the car crash which killed the Princess was an accident.The Judicial Communications Office said Lady Bulter-Sloss, the retired senior judge who will sit as the coroner, originally decided to held the hearings on Jan.8 and 9 in private without the press or the public present for practical reasons such as the size of the court room available. But this decision is to be challenged in the high court by Mohamed Fayed, whose son Dodd, died with the Princess in 1997.Then, finally, a spokesman said “Lady Bulter-sloss has considered in view of the public interest in these particular hearings that they should be held in public.” And Lady Butler-Sloss had invited lawyers for the Royal Houses hold to attend.A spokesman for Mohamed Al Fayed, who remains convinced that the couple was murderedby British spies to prevent his son, a Muslim, from marrying Diana, welcomed the decision. “He doesn’t believe that anything should be held behind the doors. There’s no reason for it, nobody has anything to fear from the cold light of day than those who may be guilty,” the spokesman told the Skynews.5. We learn from the beginning of the passage that[A] Diana gave her life for the cause of charity.[B] Diana set up The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.[C] Prince Charles was behind a plot to kill Diana.[D] Many people mourned for the warm-hearted princess.6. The final decision made by the Judicial authority[A] was that the hearings should be open to the public.[B] was that the hearings should be held privately.[C] was consistent with Dame Elizabeth Bulter-Sloss’s.[D] was not consistent with Mohamed’s requirement.7. According to the passage, Mohamed[A] was the owner of the particular London store Harrods.[B] fought for truth and justice against an army of dark forces.[C] asked police to hold a highest-level investigation into the deaths.[D] was convinced that his son was murdered by French spies.8. What can NOT be inferred from the conspiracy theory?[A] This theory had some political purpose.[B] The death of Diana had something with the royal reputation.[C] The chauffeur had no responsibility in the car crash.[D] The chauffeur Paul was one of the murderers.9. The conclusion to be released by John Stevens[A] will be totally different from the release by the French investigation.[B] will also demonstrate that the death of Diana had connection with the car crash.[C] will also demonstrate that the death of Diana was a plot.[D] will take the audience interest into consideration.10. The best title for this passage is[A] The political plot. [B] The reason of Diana’s death.[C] Inquiry of Diana’s death. [D] Hearings to be held in public.Text CA wise man once said that the only thing necessary for triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.Days after days my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.Accountability isn’t hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences.Of the many values that hold civilization together —honesty, kindness, and so on —accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law — and, ultimately, no society.My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have neverlearned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people’s behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Fortunately, there are still communities — smaller towns, usually — where schools maintain discipline and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: “In this family certain things are not tolerated — they simply ar e not done!”Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has none. He considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life if you enrage him.The main cause of this breakdown is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, it’s the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn’t teach him to read, by the church that failed to teach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn’t provide a stable home.I don’t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.11. Which of the following is an opinion of the author’s?[A] It’s unnecessary for good people to do anything in face of evil.[B] It’s certain that evil will prevail if good men do nothing about it.[C] American way of life could be a decisive factor in the crime.[D] Good men had better keep away from evil.12. Compared with those in small towns, people in large cities have[A] less self-discipline. [B] better sense of discipline.[C] more mutual respect. [D] less effective government.13. The writer is sorry to have noticed that[A] people in large cities tend to excuse criminals.[B] today’s society lacks sympathy for people in difficulty.[C] people in small towns stick to old discipline and standards.[D] people in disadvantaged circumstances are engaged in criminal activities.14. Which of the following is correct?[A] Stricter discipline should be maintained in schools and families.[B] More good examples should be set for people to follow.[C] More restrictions should be imposed on people’s behavior.[D] More people should accept the value of accountability.15. According to the author, if a person is found guilty of a crime,[A] society should be held responsible.[B] modern civilization should be responsible for it.[C] the criminal himself should bear the blame.[D] the standards of living should be improved.Text DAs Brazil’s Ronaldo slammed the ball into Germany’s goal to win the World Cup final, Tokyo spectators rose to their feet and cheered wildly. It’s almost as if they felt the power of theshot. No wonder: Although the game was being played 30 miles to the south, in Kanagawa, the 500 fans in Tokyo saw it live on a 130-ft by 330-ft screen—a monster nearly the size of the soccer field itself. “In the future, people anywhere in the world will be able to watch the Olympics and other major events in virtual stadiums,” predicts the scientist who designed the system.The key to delivering this long distance soccer fix was a superspeed optical network that linked digital projectors in Tokyo to high-definition TV cameras in the stadium. For innovative next-generation services like this, the center of the universe is in Japan and South Korea. That’s because both have made high-speed optical networks a national priority. The trend stands in contrast to developments in the U.S. and Europe, where broadband penetration has lagged as carriers dig their way out from a mountain of debt piled up by early bets on wireless and Internet infrastructure.In the 1990s, Japan and Korea largely missed the Internet boom. Not wanting to be caught off-guard again, South Korea’s government invested a huge sum of money in broadband infrastructure over the past six years. In Japan, Nippon Telegraph & Telephone spent $6.4 billion on new fiber-optic networks in 2004. At present most new buildings in Japanese and Korean cities are served by high-speed fiber-optic cables.Thanks to the networks, the two countries can offer a dizzying array of services. In Korea, housewives can’t seem to get enough of Internet soap operas delivered via broadband. Nearly 150,000 small groceries, car-repair shops, and others use online services for billing and inventory for as little as $25 per month. In Japan, tech companies offer everything from unlimited videoconferencing ($2.50 per month) to unlimited Japanese videos of cartoons and comics (also $2.50 per month). They expect online content will become a big money-earner.The new networks are changing lifestyles, too. In March of 2004, Japan’s normally indifferent university students used the Net to organize one of the country’s biggest demonstrations in years, against the war in Iraq. At Seoul Girls’Commercial High School, classrooms are filled with Net-linked PC terminals, where instructors in distant locations teach skills such as using enterprise resource planning software, something once reserved for on-the-job training after graduation.Now, Japan is tackling whole new modes of communication. Sony Corp. is pursuing “grid” systems, using broadband to connect thousands of home computers and game consoles. Ultimately, all the devices on the network will be able to draw on the others, so each gains the power of a supercomputer. And Tokyo University has a system of cameras that captures a person’s image from various angles, creating a video avatar — a sort of body double. That information is then transmitted over a fast network, allowing others to see and interact with the avatar. Heady stuff. If Japan and Korea are right in betting that ubiquitous high-speed communications are the key to growth, this new broadband era could usher in Asia’s Golden Age.16. The 500 soccer fans in Tokyo could enjoy the World Cup final because[A] they felt the power of Ronaldo’s shot.[B] the game was being played in their country.[C] they watched the live show on TV.[D] they saw the game live on a huge screen nearly the size of the soccer field.17. Japan and South Korea are leading the way in[A] virtual stadiums.[B] long-distance soccer games delivery.[C] superspeed optical network.[D] wireless and Internet infrastructure.18. The U.S.A. and Europe countries have been left behind in broadband popularization because[A] they are not the center of the universe.[B] they are deeply in debt for early investment into infrastructure.[C] they missed the Internet boom.[D] they have to charge too much money for broadband connection.19. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?[A] In Korea, housewives are not satisfied with Internet soap operas delivered via broadband.[B] In Korea, people can pay for what they buy in small groceries online.[C] In Japan, tech companies charge $2.50 per month for unlimited videoconferencing.[D] In Korea and Japan companies offering online services hope to make a great profit.20. Which of the following aspect is mentioned when discussing “grid” systems?[A] Sony Corp. spent a great sum of money on “grid” systems.[B] S tudents in Tokyo University are very interested in “grid” systems.[C] Each computer may obtain the power of a supercomputer one day.[D] The application of “grid” systems predicts the coming of Asia’s Golden Age.语境词汇Text A1. strain n.极度紧张;拉紧v.拉紧,绷紧2. indignation n.愤怒,愤慨,义愤3. porter n.黑啤酒;搬运工4.relish n.滋味;吸引力;调味品v.享受5. fastidious a.爱挑剔的6. suck up to巴结,奉承7. steer v.沿着特定道路前进;操舵;驾驶8. stick out 伸出,突出;坚持到底9. mortify v.使失面子,使受辱10. see through看穿;帮助渡过难关;做到底11. lash v.急速挥动;猛烈抨击n.鞭子;眼睫毛12. flake v.成薄片;雪片似地降落Text B1. exclusive a.高级的,奢华的;排外的,独占的,唯一的2. culminate v.达到高潮3.chauffeur n.贵宾车司机4. limousine n.豪华轿车5. coroner n.验尸官,死因裁判官6. conspiracy n.阴谋,密谋7. unveil vt.揭开;为…揭幕Text C1. triumph n.胜利,凯旋2. ingredient n.要素;组成成分,原料3. accountability n.负有责任;应作解释;可说明性4. restraint n.抑制;自制,拘泥5. tolerate vt.容忍;忍受6. underprivileged a.生活水平低的,下层社会的Text D1. slam v.猛击,使劲扔;砰地关上(门或窗);猛烈抨击2. optical network 光纤网络3. stand in contrast to 大相径庭4. soap opera 肥皂剧5. on-the-job training 在职培训6. tackle v.(开始)处理;(用索具等)固定,系住n.(船的)索具;用具7. game console 游戏主机8. draw on 利用;拉上,穿上;吸,抽9. video avatar 视频化身10. body double (电影或电视中的)替身演员,替身11. ubiquitous a.普遍存在的,无所不在的12. usher in 预报(…的来到),宣告;创始,开辟难句突破Text A1.

38 saw murder
38 Who Saw MurderBy marlin GansbergFor more than half an hour 38 respectable, law-abiding citizens in Queens watched a killer stalk and stab a woman in three separate attacks in Kew Gardens.Twice the sound of their voices and the sudden glow of their bedroom lights interrupted him and frightened him off. Each time he returned, sought her out and stabbed her again. Not one person telephoned the police during the assault; one witness called after the woman was dead.That was two weeks ago today.Still sh ocked is Assistant Chief Inspector Frederick M. Lussen, in charge of the borough’s detectives and a veteran of 25 years of homicide investigations. He can give a matter-of-fact recitation of many murders. But the Kew Gardens slaying baffles him – not because it is a murder, but because the "good people" failed to call the police."As we have reconstructed the crime," he said, "the assailant had three chances to kill this woman during a 35-minute period. He returned twice to complete the job. If we had been called when he first attacked, the woman might not be dead now."This is what the police say happened beginning at 3:20 A.M. in the staid, middle-class, tree-lined Austin Street area:Twenty-eight-year-old Catherine Genovese, who was called Kitty by almost everyone in the neighborhood, was returning home from her job as manager of a bar in Hollis. She parked her red fiat in a lot adjacent to the Kew Gardens Long Island Rail Road Station, facing Mowbray Place. Like many residents of the neighborhood, she had parked there day after day since her arrival from Connecticut a year ago, although the railroad frowns on the practice.She turned off the lights to her car, locked the door and started to walk the 100 feet to the entrance of her apartment at 82-70 Austin Street, which is in a Tudor building, with stores on the first floor and apartments on the second.The entrance to the apartment is in the rear of the building because the front is rented to retail stores. At night the quiet neighborhood is shrouded in the slumbering darkness that marks most residential areas.Miss Genovese noticed a man at the far end of the lot, near a seven-story apartment house at 82-40 Austin Street. She halted. Then, nervously, she headed up Austin Street toward Lefferts Boulevard, where there is a call box to the 102d Police Precinct in nearby Richmond.She got as far as a street light in front of a bookstore before the man grabbed her. She screamed. Lights went on in the 10-story apartment house at 82-67 Austin Street, which faces the bookstore. Windows slid open, and voices punctured the early-morning stillness.Miss Genovese screamed: "Oh, my God, he stabbed me! Please help me! Please help me!" From one of the upper windows in the apartment house, a man called down: "Let that girl alone!" The assailant looked up at him, shrugged and walked down Austin Street toward a white sedan parked a short distance away. Miss Genovese struggled to her feet.Lights went out. The killer returned to Miss Genovese, now trying to make her way around the side of the building by the parking lot to get to her apartment. The assailant stabbed her again."I’m dying!" she shrieked. "I’m dying!"Windows were opened again, and lights went on in many apartments. The assailant got into hiscar and drove away. Miss Genovese staggered to her feet. A city bus, Q-10, the Lefferts Boulevard line to Kennedy International Airport, passed. It was 3:35 am.The assailant returned. By then, Miss Genovese had crawled to the back of the building, where the freshly painted brown doors to the apartment house held out hope of safety. The killer tried the first door; she wasn’t there. At the second door, 82-62 Austin Street, he saw her slumped on the floor at the foot of the stairs. He stabbed her a third time—fatally.It was 3:50 by the time the police received their first call, from a man who was a neighbor of Miss Genovese. In two minutes they were at the scene. The neighbor, a 70-year-old woman and another woman were the only persons on the street. Nobody else came forward.The man explained that he had called the police after much deliberation. He had phoned a friend in Nassau County for advice and then he had crossed the roof of the building to the apartment of the elderly woman to get her to make the call."I didn’t want to get involved," he sheepishly told the police.The police stressed how simple it would have been to have gotten in touch with them. "A phone call," said one of the detectives, "would have done it." The police may be reached by dialing "O" for operator or SPring 7-3100.Today witnesses from the neighborhood, which is made up of one-family homes in the $35,000 to $60,000 range with the exception of the two apartment houses near the railroad station, find it difficult to explain why they didn’t call the police.A housewife, knowingly if quite casual, said, "We though it was a lover’s quarrel." A husband and wife both said, "Frankly, we were afraid." They seemed aware of the fact that events might have been different. A distraught woman, wiping her hands in her a pron, said, "I didn’t want my husband to get involved."One couple, now willing to talk about that night, said they heard the first screams. The husband looked thoughtfully at the bookstore where the killer first grabbed Miss Genovese."We went to the window to see what was happening," he said, "But the light from our bedroom made it difficult to see the street." The wife, still apprehensive, added: "I put out the light, and we were able to see better."Asked why they hadn’t called the police, she shrugged and replied: "I don’t know."A man peeked out from a slight opening in the doorway to his apartment and rattled off an account of the killer’s second attack. Why hadn’t he called the police at the time? "I was tired," he said without emotion. "I went back to bed."It was 4:25 A.M. when the ambulance arrived for the body of Miss Genovese. It drove off. "Then," a solemn police detective said, "the people came out."——from The New York Times, March 17, 1964. Questions:1. What happened to Miss Genovese?2.How do you think of the 38 respectable, law-abiding citizens?3. Why didn’t the witnesses call the police?4. What i s the cause for Miss Genovese’s tragedy?。
