1. An honorable entryThe acclaimed academic, Dr. Sir Walter T.J. Fitzbody, accompanied the equally accessible expert of aboriginal history, Dr. Mugambe H. C. Carriky, slowly to the platform to accept his National Science Foundation Award. Both were noted for their absenteeism, rarely seen in public and still marveled at for their abnormal usage of double abbreviations in their names. That it was Dr. Carriky, the former pupil of Dr. Fitzbody who was receiving this life-time award before his mentor was only minor. Dr. Fitzbody knew that academia was not always fair and, having always been rather accommodating for his favorite student anyhow, was taking the event as an honor to his work as well.When Dr. Carriky accidentally tripped over the toe of a person with his leg extended too far into the aisle, the gasps of the crowd conveniently covered the abusive words that came out of Dr. Carriky's mouth. The man did not take the abuse kindly, however, and abandoning all respect, began to rise to respond to the guest of honor. Dr. Fitzbody, sensing trouble, quickly accelerated towards the stage. It did not matter that an accessory of his robe was lost to the floor as they escaped. The rest of the audience, sensing a need for accommodation, politely gave clear access so that no further mishaps would occur.Having accomplished their entry, Dr. Fitzbody began his introduction of Dr. Carriky. He gently smiled and said a joke that related the fall to a historical abstraction. The crowd laughed in relief and breathed easily as they knew that honor and dignity had been restored.体面的入场广受赞誉的学者沃尔特.T.J.费茨博迪博士陪同同样平易近人的土著历史研究专家穆甘贝．H.C.克里奇博士缓缓走向领奖台领取国家科学基金奖。

1. The Time of LincolnAbraham Lincoln was the 16 th president of the United States of America. He is rememberedfor many things, including his log-cabin home, his absurd looking clothing accessory,a top-hat, but Lincoln?s absolute most important contribution to America?s history was to abolish slavery, a very hard task to accomplish at that time. In the middle of the 19 th century, America was split by an abstract border. The country was cut into two parts: the North and the South. There were an abundance of differences which caused this abnormal separation. For instance, the North held allof the Universities and Military Academies whereas in the South, access to such institutions was limited. Also, Northerners spoke standard American English while Southerners spoke with a Southern accent. But the largest difference that abound between the North and the South at that time was slavery and all of the aspects that accompanied it.The North thought that the South should abandon slavery because mint most cases, slaves faced daily abuse from their owners. Most Northerners tried to abide by the rule that “A ll men are created equal.”T hese reasons largely account for the American Civil War. The Civil War was a long, brutal war with a very high casualty rate. Many young men from both the North and the South were killed on the battlefield; the death toll was also accelerated by the fact that small Army hospitals could not accommodate so many wounded soldiers.The Civil War was filled with heroes on both sides of the battlefield. Names like U.S.Grant, General Sherman, and the acclaimed Southern General Robert E. Lee. All of these men fought bravely and made harrowing decisions on their own accord. But Lincoln is probably most often associated with his leadership of the country during this difficult period. He was a firm believer that slavery was wrong and he fought hard to stop it. In 1863, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which legally granted freedom to all slaves living in America. But in 1865, Lincoln ?s life came to an abrupt ended while he was watching a play at Ford ?s Theater in Washington D.C. His death was not an accident; he was assassinated by a man named John Wilkes Booth.Not long after Lincoln ?s death, the North defeated the South and the Civil War was ended. The South was no longer thought of as another country, but part of America. And all of the slaves living and working in the South were freed and absorbed into society.2. Mike — a Story of Personal ChangeMike could hardly be described as your typical adolescent. He would casually acknowledge to his few friends that he liked to watch DVDs, although perhaps a more accurate description was that he was a DVD addict. Over the last six months, Mike had accumulated thousands of DVDs. When he was not at school, he had become accustomed to spending his time wandering the streets of the city, acquiring more and more films. Indeed, it became a joke that if asked for his address, he would give the address of the DVD shop adjacent to our school since he spent so much time there.Mike hated attending school. In his eyes, its only advantage was its location. During lessons,he adopted a rather cool demeanor towards most of his classmates and was often accused of being aloof. All he seemed concerned about was adding to his DVD collection. In truth, Mike had not adapted to life at the school very well. Perhaps he felt that he still needed adequate time to adjustto a new environment although no one could work out why he harbored such an acute feeling ofself-pity.As someone who also adores watching films, I had slowly become acquainted with Mike. I had often seen him in the DVD shop which adjoined our school, yet it took a long time before he responded to my advances of friendship. Maybe it was an exaggeration to say we were actually friends, although he would at least acknowledge my presence with a cursory nod of the head when he saw me.One day, I was asked to administrate our school?s new film club. I was a little wary about asking Mike to help me select suitable films in case he said no. however, I needn?t have worried. Mike ?s face lit up as he scrutinized a poster I had just adhered to the wall. The poster advertised the grand opening of the Film Club the following week. ,Hey David, ? he muttered excitedly, ,I want to be involved with that. ?The change in Mike ?s behavior over the next month was dramatic. I have no doubt that it was the Film Club which activated the turnaround. Once a boy who spent most of his time sulking, Mike was now a model student. Before each film was shown, he would give a very informative speech about the director and main actors. Everyone was impressed by his knowledge and passion for films and he suddenly became extremely popular at school.3. SaltNow that Billy ?s parents were a little more affluent, the family had agreed that they could a cottage on the out skirts of town. Although the cottage was somewhat old-fashioned, the agent who rented the place to them was keen to advocate that they should not install air-conditioning as they could air-condition the place by opening the skylights. The day that they moved, the air was heavy with the advent of spring, a sense of renewal accompanied them along the way; Billy andthe old dog Rufus watched the amazing aerial gymnastics of the swallows out of the car window, browsing through the family album every now and then. When they arrived, a group of men were unloading the van. Billy thought looking around the new surroundings should be placed high on their agenda, so he whistled to Rufus and they set off on an adventure. They found a small footpath, Rufus showing his excitement and his affection for Billy by panting and wagging his tail. Billy was at an age when he could still feel a sense of aesthetic excitement at the beauty of nature. The adverse effects of those years in the city seemed to vanish as he walked, and with Rufus as his affiliate he felt invincible. However, he had reckoned without Rufus. They rounded a bend in the path and suddenly, in the next field, they saw sheep. Rufus knew a good game when he saw one, he ran straight into the field, baking aggressively. Just then, a man in green boots stepped out and in an equally aggressive manner started to shout at Rufus to get out of the field. With a sense of alarm, Billy realized that the man was carrying a shotgun and he saw him level it and take aim at Rufus.“P lease don?t shoot ”, yelled Billy, but this seemed to aggravate the man still more. The gun went off and Rufus howled in agony. He ran helter-skelter back to Billy with his tail between his legs. The man strode over to Billy.“T hose sheep are pregnant ”, the man said, angrily. “I f you agitate them they can lose their lambs. I will affirm my right to kill any dog that chases them. ”“I agree”, said Billy. “A nd I?m sorry, please; help me get Rufus to a vet! ”“I don ?t think your dog will need a vet this time ”, said them man, “t he gun was only loaded with salt. But next time, keep him on a lead, okay? ”4. Freshman YearI was born in a small town, up in the mountains. Because of the high altitude, few people lived there. I was always amid my neighbors and friends, people I had known for all of my life. When I was in my hometown, I felt like those days would last forever. But the days went by quickly, and soon I found myself packing my bags for college. I was full of ambition, and had applied to go to university in a big city.When I first got to my university, I was on the alert for everything. I felt very much alone without my family and friends. I was like an alien arriving on a new planet. I felt like an ambassador from another world. Once classes started, things were better. I was busier, because I had to allocate most of my time to studying. I wanted to work hard, and did not allow my self to go to a large amount of parties. I wanted to find an alternate social life that would let me have fun, without always drinking alcohol, like some university students do. Many people allege that this is why some students get bad grades their first year at university.Because I felt very ambiguous about what I wanted to study, I took many different classes. I tried many different things, but still hadn?t found the perfect match for me. This made me feel even more lost at school, and I knew I had to find a way to amend things. In order to make new friends, and alleviate my loneliness, I joined the drama club at my school. It was there I met my first ally. The president of the drama club was an older student, named Betty. She was quite amiable, and helped give me advice about school. She helped me to alter my schedule so that I had the best classes.Soon our drama club put on its first show. It was a comedy, full of jokes to amuse the audience. My parents and friends even drove out to watch me. We were only amateur actors, but I think we did a good job. After the show, my father said, “S arah, you amaze me, I didn ?t know you were so good at acting!”such ample praise made me very proud. That was when I realized what I wanted to be, an actress.5. Story of the VikingsJerry had been interested in ancient history since he was a little child. Every night before going to bed, his grandfather would tell him stories of great civilizations like the Romans, the Vikings, the Incas and many others. These short anecdotes and stories always involved great kings and leaders, great wars and battles, and great heroes and foes. However, a story that had anything to do with the fierce Vikings was always Jerry ?s favorite. He was most interested in these stories because his grandfather had analyzedtheir family tree and discovered that the family?s ancestors were actually Vikings.Every day at school, Jerry would wonder what story his grandfather would tell him that night.. He was always anxious to come home so that he could see his grandfather and hear the next story. Apart from the action of each story, Jerry?s grandfather also tried to teach Jerry a life-lesson that he could apply in his life. Jerry?s grandfather often accomplished this by using analogies to compare Jerry?s life with some thing from that day?s story. The story that Jerry enjoyed the most was about an annual fishing trip that the Vikings made each year on a certain anniversary. in this story, the captain of a large Viking ship decided to set sail without bringing their large, heavy anchor because they did not anticipate the trip taking a long time and they wanted more room for all of the fish too because the Vikings had a strong appetite for fish.Some of the Vikings on the ship were appalled at the decision of not bringing an anchor because of the apparent danger of not bringing one. They thought the ship was anything but safe. These men appealed to the captain of the ship and one man even wrote an anonymous letter to the king of the Vikings asking that an anchor be put on the ship. But the captain of the ship announced that they were leaving the next day. This answer annoyed several of the Viking crew, but they listed to their captain and set sail.Not long after setting sail, the Viking ship encountered a large storm. The ship was being badly damaged and the captain felt anguish because they needed the large anchor at this moment. Soon after the storm ended,the captain apologized to his crew for not listening to them and promised to buy all of them a bottle of beer when they returned home. Although the crew of the ship was still wet and tired from the storm, they applauded when they heard the captain apologize.6. The Young Police ChiefJim had been appointed as the police chief of his local division —an appointment that he took very seriously as he secretly aspired to ascend to become the leader of the entire city ?s police department. His promotion had not met with the approval of everyone within the department, because although he was an apt leader who did not ask too much of his men, many did not appreciate his somewhat arrogant methods when dealing with the senior members of the police force. As one of the youngest police chiefs ever, his promotion was considered by many of the older policemen an assault on the way thing had always been done, and they were very apprehensive at an array of new programs that Jim had installed within the department. They consideredhim to be an outsider who had come ashore without spending an appropriate amount of time on the police force before being promoted.Sal, one of the oldest members of the force, took Jim aside to ascertain whether Jim was aware that there might be problems ahead.“I t ?s not that we don?t approve of the job that you are doing”, Sal said, “b utyour promotion at such a young age has aroused the curiosity of what if is that makes you deserving of such a position. We need time to appraise your performance”.Jim was a very articulate young man, and there was nothing artificial about him. He decided to speak to all of the men as a group before any more problems could arise.“I understand your concerns, but I assure you that the commissioner?s decision to appoint me as your leader was not an arbitrary one”, Jim said confidently to the group. “I am not ashamed of my young age, and I hope that you will give me time to prove to you that I am worthy of being your police chief. ”at that very moment, the sound of gunfire was heard outside as an assault began on the bank across the stree—t the criminal had very foolishly chosen to approach a bank very close to a police station. Jim was the first policeman to run outside and approach the gunman. His apt ability in dealing with such a dangerous situation was apparent to everyone. Within approximately two minutes, he had arrestedthe bank robber. Jim had not only prevented a crime, but he had also earned the respect and appreciation for his fellow officers, who now felt ashamed that had ever questioned his leadership abilities.7. Accident on Elm StreetThe junction between Elm Street and Beech Street was an accident black spot. It was easy to assume that no one would be coming the other way, and if a driver was not attentive enough he could easily come to grief. People attributed this to the fact that children would often assemble at the junction, making it hard for drivers to assessthe traffic situation. Local residents would often assert that the only way to make the junction safe would be to augment the poorly lit stop signs with a set of lights, or at the very least, to assign a lollipop person to the junction at the times when children were going to and from school.The local police were sympathetic to these requests,but to no avail. They claimed they lacked the authority to install a set of lights. Things had been tight since the previous year?s local government audit, and funds were unlikely to be forthcoming. However, they would, when asked, frequently assure the questioner that they hoped the government would soon augment their budget and allow them increased autonomy in making financial decisions, in which case dealing with the Elm Street junction would be a top priority. Many people pointed out that simply to wait for the government to act was pointless, that maybe a set of traffic lights could be purchased cheaply in an auction, or that a lollipop person, besides making the junction safer for the children, would cheer the place up and be an authentic asset to the community. But it seemed that forordinary people to suggest improvements to their own community merely served to astonish the police.The matter was settled in a rather unlikely fashion. At the beginning of March a collision occurred between the Chief of Police and the auxiliary fire service chief who was speeding to attend a fire. The Chiefof Police saw the accident coming and sounded his horn to give aural warning of his approach, but the auxiliary fir service chief was already attempting to avoid a small boy and was unable to assimilate the warning signals in time. The auxiliary fire service chief and his associate, who was in the back seat, were unhurt. The chief of police, however, was slightly concussed. he got out of his vehicle and staggered around with a slightly bemused expression on his face, as though he was about to attain nirvana, after which he spent twenty minutes trying to attach a parking ticket to the hole where the fireman?s windscreen had been.81. The Missing CatChristina and Patrick baker stood outside their empty house. They watched the moving company work, packing the last cardboard boxes in the large truck. They were ready to go, but their cat Nutty was nowhere to be found. Nutty had decided to withdraw and had hidden himselfin the woods behind his owner ?s house. Now it was time to go, and his owner were beginning to wonder where he was. The removal company wasn ?t willing to wait any more, so Christina and Patrick got into the truck. Making a decision that would wrench their hearts, they left their cat behind.Their new house, across the town from their old house, was a lot beautiful. But Christina and Patrick were not happy. Nutty was worth a lot to them, they missed him greatly. Christina had given the cat as a present to Patrick on their first Christmas together. That day they laughed and laughed watching the small bundle of fur wrap himself up in a bit of wire that he had got fromtheir Christmas wreath . He had wound himself up while wrestling with the wire, and was now unable to move, and were beginning to worship Nutty, and the joy he brought to them.Unable to withstand a life without their favorite friend, the couple made a plan. They sat down to write a flyer. They wrote about their missing cat, and taped a photo of Nutty to the flyer. Then they went to xerox copies of the flyer. They drove back to their old neighborhood, and stuckthe flyers up on telephone poles and in the local store.Sadly, the flyer did not yield the results they had been looking for. Not one single witness stepped forward to offer a word of information about their cat. However, a few days later they were outside of their new house when they heard a strange sound. They turned around and saw Nutty running towards them meowing! Somehow Nutty had followed their zigzag path, across every major zone of the city, and made it to their home. Christina and Patrick embraced their cat with zeal. Of course the cat was a wreck due to the journey. Someone or something had wounded him. He looked wretched, but they loved every wrinkle. They praised the cat for his braveryand wit. They hadn ?t found him, but he had found them!。

胡敏读故事记单词_考研英语词汇教学提纲
胡敏读故事记单词_考研英语词汇1. The Time of LincolnAbraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America. He is remembered for many things, including his log-cabin home, his absurd looking clothing accessory, a top-hat, but Lincoln’s absolute most important contribution to America’s history was to abolish slavery, a very hard task to accomplish at that time. In the middle of the 19th century, America was split by an abstract border. The country was cut into two parts: the North and the South. There were an abundance of differences which caused this abnormal separation. For instance, the North held all of the Universities and Military Academies whereas in the South, access to such institutions was limited. Also, Northerners spoke standard American English while Southerners spoke with a Southern accent. But the largest difference that abound between the North and the South at that time was slavery and all of the aspects that accompanied it.The North thought that the South should abandon slavery because mint most cases, slaves faced daily abuse from their owners. Most Northerners tried to abide by the rule that “All men are created equal.” These reasons largely account for the American Civil War. The Civil War was a long, brutal war with a very high casualty rate. Many young men from both the North and the South were killed on the battlefield; the death toll was also accelerated by the fact that small Army hospitals could not accommodate so many wounded soldiers.The Civil War was filled with heroes on both sides of the battlefield. Names like U.S.Grant, General Sherman, and the acclaimed Southern General Robert E. Lee. All of these men fought bravely and made harrowing decisions on their own accord. But Lincoln is probably most often associated with his leadership of the country during this difficult period. He was a firm believer that slavery was wrong and he fought hard to stop it. In 1863, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which legally granted freedom to all slaves living in America. But in 1865, Lincoln’s life came to an abrupt ended while he was watching a play at Ford’s Theater in Washington D.C. His death was not an accident; he was assassinated by a man named John Wilkes Booth.Not long after Lincoln’s death, the North defeated the South and the Civil War was ended. The South was no longer thought of as another country, but part of America. And all of the slaves living and working in the South were freed and absorbed into society.2. Mike — a Story of Personal ChangeMike could hardly be described as your typical adolescent. He would casually acknowledge to his few friends that he liked to watch DVDs, although perhaps a more accurate description was that he was a DVD addict. Over the last six months, Mike had accumulated thousands of DVDs. When he was not at school, he had become accustomed to spending his time wandering the streets of the city, acquiring more and more films. Indeed, it became a joke that if asked for his address, he would give the address of the DVD shop adjacent to our school since he spent so much time there.Mike hated attending school. In his eyes, its only advantage was its location. During lessons, he adopted a rather cool demeanor towards most of his classmates and was often accused of being aloof. All he seemed concerned about was adding to his DVD collection. In truth, Mike had not adapted to life at the school very well. Perhaps he felt that he still needed adequate time to adjust to a new environment although no one could work out why he harbored such an acute feeling of self-pity.As someone who also adores watching films, I had slowly become acquainted with Mike. I had often seen him in the DVD shop which adjoined our school, yet it took a long time before he responded to my advances of friendship. Maybe it was an exaggeration to say we were actually friends, although he would at least acknowledge my presence with a cursory nod of the head when he saw me.One day, I was asked to administrate our school’s new film club. I was a little wary about asking Mike to help me select suitable films in case he said no. however, I needn’t have worried. Mike’s face lit up as he scrutinized a poster I had just adhered to the wall. The poster advertised the grand opening of the Film Club the following week. ‘Hey David,’ he muttered excitedly, ‘I want to be involved with that.’The change in Mike’s behavior over the next month was dramatic. I have no doubt that it was the Film Club which activated the turnaround. Once a boy who spent most of his time sulking, Mike was now a model student. Before each film was shown, he would give a very informative speech about the director and main actors. Everyone was impressed by his knowledge and passion for films and he suddenly became extremely popular at school.3. SaltNow that Billy’s parents were a little more affluent, the family had agreed that they could a cottage on the out skirts of town. Although the cottage was somewhatold-fashioned, the agent who rented the place to them was keen to advocate that they should not install air-conditioning as they could air-condition the place by opening the skylights. The day that they moved, the air was heavy with the advent of spring, a sense of renewal accompanied them along the way; Billy and the old dog Rufus watched the amazing aerial gymnastics of the swallows out of the car window, browsing through the family album every now and then. When they arrived, a groupof men were unloading the van. Billy thought looking around the new surroundings should be placed high on their agenda, so he whistled to Rufus and they set off on an adventure. They found a small footpath, Rufus showing his excitement and his affection for Billy by panting and wagging his tail. Billy was at an age when he could still feel a sense of aesthetic excitement at the beauty of nature. The adverse effects of those years in the city seemed to vanish as he walked, and with Rufus as his affiliate he felt invincible. However, he had reckoned without Rufus. They rounded a bend in the path and suddenly, in the next field, they saw sheep. Rufus knew a good game when he saw one, he ran straight into the field, baking aggressively. Just then, a man in green boots stepped out and in an equally aggressive manner started to shout at Rufus to get out of the field. With a sense of alarm, Billy realized that the man was carrying a shotgun and he saw him level it and take aim at Rufus.“Please don’t shoot”, yelled Billy, but this seemed to aggravate the man still more. The gun went off and Rufus howled in agony. He ran helter-skelter back to Billy with his tail between his legs. The man strode over to Billy.“Those sheep are pregnant”, the man said, angrily. “If you agitate them they can lose their lambs. I will affirm my right to kill any dog that chases them.”“I agree”, said Billy. “And I’m sorry, please; help me get Rufus to a vet!”“I don’t think your dog will need a vet this time”, said them man, “the gun was only loaded with salt. But next time, keep him on a lead, okay?”4. Freshman YearI was born in a small town, up in the mountains. Because of the high altitude, few people lived there. I was always amid my neighbors and friends, people I had known for all of my life. When I was in my hometown, I felt like those days would last forever. But the days went by quickly, and soon I found myself packing my bags for college. I was full of ambition, and had applied to go to university in a big city.When I first got to my university, I was on the alert for everything. I felt very much alone without my family and friends. I was like an alien arriving on a new planet. I felt like an ambassador from another world. Once classes started, things were better. I was busier, because I had to allocate most of my time to studying.I wanted to work hard, and did not allow my self to go to a large amount of parties. I wanted to find an alternate social life that would let me have fun, without always drinking alcohol, like some university students do. Many people allege that this is why some students get bad grades their first year at university.Because I felt very ambiguous about what I wanted to study, I took many different classes. I tried many different things, but still hadn’t found the perfect match for me. This made me feel even more lost at school, and I knew I had to find a way to amend things. In order to make new friends, and alleviate my loneliness, I joined the drama club at my school. It was there I met my first ally. The president of the drama club was an older student, named Betty. She was quite amiable, and helped give me advice about school. She helped me to alter my schedule so that I had the best classes.Soon our drama club put on its first show. It was a comedy, full of jokes to amuse the audience. My parents and friends even drove out to watch me. We were only amateur actors, but I think we did a good job. After the show, my father said, “Sarah, you amaze me, I didn’t know you were so good at acting!” such ample praise made me very proud. That was when I realized what I wanted to be, an actress.5. Story of the VikingsJerry had been interested in ancient history since he was a little child. Every night before going to bed, his grandfather would tell him stories of great civilizations like the Romans, the Vikings, the Incas and many others. These short anecdotes and stories always involved great kings and leaders, great wars and battles, and great heroes and foes. However, a story that had anything to do with the fierce Vikings was always Jerry’s favorite. He was most interested in these stories because his grandfather had analyzed their family tree and discovered that the family’s ancestors were actually Vikings.Every day at school, Jerry would wonder what story his grandfather would tell him that night.. He was always anxious to come home so that he could see his grandfather and hear the next story. Apart from the action of each story, Jerry’s grandfather also tried to teach Jerry a life-lesson that he could apply in his life. Jerry’s grandfather often accomplished this by using analogies to compare Jerry’s life with some thing from that day’s story. The story that Jerry enjoyed the most was about an annual fishing trip that the Vikings madeeach year on a certain anniversary. in this story, the captain of a large Viking ship decided to set sail without bringing their large, heavy anchor because they did not anticipate the trip taking a long time and they wanted more room for all of the fish too because the Vikings had a strong appetite for fish.Some of the Vikings on the ship were appalled at the decision of not bringing an anchor because of the apparent danger of not bringing one. They thought the ship was anything but safe. These men appealed to the captain of the ship and one man even wrote an anonymous letter to the king of the Vikings asking that an anchor be put on the ship. But the captain of the ship announced that they were leaving the next day. This answer annoyed several of the Viking crew, but they listed to their captain and set sail.Not long after setting sail, the Viking ship encountered a large storm. The ship was being badly damaged and the captain felt anguish because they needed the large anchor at this moment. Soon after the storm ended, the captain apologized to his crew for not listening to them and promised to buy all of them a bottle of beer when they returned home. Although the crew of the ship was still wet and tired from the storm, they applauded when they heard the captain apologize.6.

Within approximately two minutes, he had arrested the bank robber. Jim had not only prevented a crime, but he had also earned the respect and appreciation for his fellow officers, who now felt ashamed that had ever questioned his leadership abilities.7.

Making a decision that would wrench their hearts, they left their cat behind.Their new house, across the town from their old house, was a lot beautiful. But Christina and Patrick were not happy. Nutty was worth a lot to them, they missed him greatly. Christina had given the cat as a present to Patrick on their first Christmas together. That day they laughed and laughed watching the small bundle of fur wrap himself up in a bit of wire that he had got from their Christmas wreath. He hadwound himself up while wrestling with the wire, and was now unable to move, and were beginning to worship Nutty, and the joy he brought to them.Unable to withstand a life without their favorite friend, the couple made a plan. They sat down to write a flyer. They wrote about their missing cat, and taped a photo of Nutty to the flyer. Then they went to xerox copies of the flyer. They drove back to their old neighborhood, and stuck the flyers up on telephone poles and in the local store.Sadly, the flyer did not yield the results they had been looking for. Not one single witness stepped forward to offer a word of information about their cat. However, a few days later they were outside of their new house when they heard a strange sound. They turned around and saw Nutty running towards them meowing! Somehow Nutty had followed their zigzag path, across every major zone of the city, and made it to their home. Christina and Patrick embraced their cat with zeal. Of course the cat was a wreck due to the journey. Someone or something had wounded him. He looked wretched, but they loved every wrinkle. They praised the cat for his bravery and wit. They hadn’t found him, but he had found them!。

As he became acquainted with American politics , however , he realized you have to work hard to keep abreast of changing value s to truly understand how absurdly controversial this issue has become. He found out from his American friends that opinions are in abundance of how to teach people to be accountable for their actions, how to make people abide by Family Planning laws, and even how to teach people just to abstain from sex. The significance of this issue became abruptly clear when Xiaomin's best friend, Jeff, got his girlfriend pregnant.Jeff was an acclaimed graduate student who was living an abnormal life from other Americans just by attending a Chinese university to get his Ph.D.(Ph.D. is an abbreviation for Doctor of Philosophy, the highest degree available in a university). Jeff was also an ace soccer player and acoustic guitar player. There was also alway an abundance of women around him. This is how he met Sarah.When Sarah became pregnant with Jeff, his friends suddenly treated him as if he was an accessory to murder. Jeff also felt as if he needed to be acquitted of some crime. But he decided in the end that he and his accomplice, Sarah, would keep the baby. According to Jeff and Sarah, the life of their child was more important than their career. Xiaomin was amazed. Keeping the child would abolish any chance of a successful career for Jeff. And in Xiaomin's eyes, one could activate the process for an abortion with a simple visit to the doctor even though there might be lines, three people abreast.But Jeff and Sarah were firm in their decision and Xiaomin had to abide his friends' decision. Life abounded in surprises. Now Jeff and Sarah were leaving school and returning to the United States.

胡敏读故事记考研词汇mp3+文本(41) aThe study of our Universe is not new. The history of astronomy shows that it is the oldest science. Even in areas where very few people were literate, there have always been men and women curious enough to look up, trying to explain the universe. Studying astronomy was originally a luxury afforded only by male priests and holy men. They would study the macroscopic movements of celestial bodies to determine lunar celebrations and planting cycles. Many people still claim that the work of these purportedly malign priests was not scientific, and full of inaccurate superstitions. However, what these holy men did helped to magnify the role astronomy played in our world.Looking back in history, the ancient Greeks were among the first to start to make theories about the design of the Universe. They worked without modern tools, a single magnet shared among many men. Many earlier observers in history held the literal belief that the heavens were a giant bowl covering the Earth. Later in the 4th century BC, the major philosopher Aristotle said that the sun, moon, and planets all moved in circles surrounding the Earth. Of course, this model would malfunction if used in tracking planets, the moon, or stars. Still, it was able to linger as the predominant scientific view of the universe for a long time, almost 600 years. In 200 AD there came a Roman astronomer Ptolemy, who had moved away from his home to live and study in Egypt. He said that the planets moved in perfect circles around the Earth. Scientists and books continued to maintain this theory for another 400 years.In the 6th century, curiosity was able to lure Nicolas Copernicus, a Polish man, to begin working on a theory of his own. He theorized that the Sun was at the center of the Universe, and that the Earth and other planets revolved around it. The Copernican Model of the Universe, while still incorrect, did three main things. It explained the motions of the planets. It took the Earth out of its incorrect spot as the lump of matter at the center of the Universe. It also expanded the magnitude of the Universe. His literary work, on the revolutions of the heavenly bodies, was published as the lay dying. The knowledge collected by Copernicus and the lofty aspirations of other early astronomers worked to lubricate the beginning of the European Renaissance and the Age of Enlight) aenment.胡敏读故事记考研词汇mp3+文本(70I went on my first date when I was 16 years old. I was really nervous to go on the date, because my date’s looks were very superb. Because of her superior looks, I had been very nervous to ask her out. I had to summon all of the courage I had just to talk to her, but all of my nerves were a bit superfluous because she was a very kind, down-to-earth girl, not superficial at all. But, suffice it to say, I was still nervous!When I told my dad that I was going on the date, he said he wanted to come and supervise it because I was too young to be dating. But, I couldn’t suppress my anger and I said that if he came my embarrassment would surpass anything I’d experienced before. After I gave him a surplus of reasons why I didn’t want him to come with me, I asked him to remember when he went on his first date. He thought about it then finally agreed with me. He said that if his parents had gone with him on his first date, he would have tried to sue them.Before I left to pick her up, I put on my lucky hat. I wear this hat every time I have to do something important. I’ve had this superstition since I was very young. I picked her up at her house and gave her a summary of my plans for our day together. I wasn’t sure if she would be interested in what I had planned, so I made some extra ideas to supplement my original plan. She said that all of my ideas sounded great and she was looking forward to our day together! Hearing her words and seeing her smile brought me a supreme sense of happiness at that moment.We started our day with a succession of small activities a sum of which involved things at our local mall. We went shopping, played some video games and ordered a large chocolate milk shake and used two straws to suck it all down. I really liked this girl, and the entire day I tried to give her subtle hints to let her know.Because we’d spent s o much time at the mall, we had to subtract a few activities from our plan, but we still had time to survey a map of the local hills and we hiked to the summit and back down. I’ll never forget that wonderful day!胡敏读故事记考研词汇mp3+文本(57) aMany years ago lived an Emperor, who loved new clothes. He spent lots of money to reform his wardrobe and refine his clothes. Unlike a regular Emperor, he did not regulate his soldiers, and his city was unsafe. However, the Emperor was happy. He took refuge in his closet, where he had a different coat for every hour of the day.One day, two swindlers came to this city. They began to relate that they could weave the finest cloth imaginable. They said it was not only very beautiful, but was magic, and would be invisible to any man who was bad at his job. They promised excellent work, or a full refund.“That must be wonderful cloth,” the Emperor would often reflect. “I must have this cloth woven for me right away.” He gave a large sum of money to the swindlers. The two men set up weaving looms, began to refer to patterns, and pretended to be making cloth. After a few days, holding empty needles, they pretended to be sewing. All of their work was, of course, redundant, since there was no real cloth and no clothing.The emperor went to regard their work. “I do not see anything at all!” the Emperor thought while watching the two men, “Am I unfit to be emperor? I must pretend I can see it!” The situation was able to reduce the Emperor to fear. He was filled with regret, but it was too late to reject the clothing. So the king praised the cloth, and decided to wear the new clothes and rejoice with the people, and refresh his city with a great parade.胡敏读故事记考研词汇mp3+文本(66) banatomy n. 解剖, 解剖学sponsor n. 发起人,主办者,保证人 v. 发起,主办morgue n.太平间,停尸房spectator n. 观众,旁观者spectacular a. 壮观的,引人注目的 n.壮观的演出autopsy n. 尸体解剖, 验尸roll v. 滚动;使摇摆,;辗,卷,(up)卷起n.(一)卷,卷形物,面包卷;名册roll up 卷起; 卷成圆筒形〔球形;到达; 出现;大量积累roll out 铺开; 碾平;滔滔不绝地讲出来; 发出洪亮的声音;起床;滚了出来specimen ['spesimin]n.标本,样本spit [spit]v. 吐(唾沫),吐痰 n. 唾液spit up 咯出…In spite of 虽然, 尽管…spite [spait]n. 恶意;怨恨dissect [di'sekt]vt. 解剖(动物等);仔细分析或研究various a.各种各样的;不同的species n.(物)种,种类semester n. 学期dizzy ['dizi]a.头晕目眩的,眩晕的;(可能)使人头晕的,极高的spin [spin]v. 旋转;纺纱;织网,吐丝 n.旋转;自转spoil v. 损坏,搞错;宠坏,溺爱spectacle n.

The anarchist had tried to rob a bank all by himself, but then he had ran out of ammunition and now he was trapped in a back portion of the bank building with no escape.As he stood in silence, hugging his gun and waiting to be found, the anarchist knew that there would be ample anecdotes from newspaper analysts the next day to amend to his obituary. They would certainly refer to the anguish he had undergone as a child. Then they would employ all their analytical abilities to reveal other impacts of his ancestry on his ambiguous life.These thoughts flew from his mind however when an angel suddenly appeared to him. He fell to his knees, sure that the Almighty God was coming to take him home. His fears were only amplified when the angel said in an alluring yet powerful voice, "Fear out, your time is short. Stop your goal to amass a foutune for yourself and turn to God."Not having any analogy to help him know what to say, or any reference for his excellent analytic abilities to think about, the anarchist only kneeled in silence and empty thought.Then the angel smiled and spoke again in a more amiable voice, "Stand up. The Lord is providing you a chance to lead an alternate life. Leave this place now through the rear buildings annex and you will escape. But remember, God is watching."When the angel was gone the anarchist stood and ran. He had no idea how to describe this experience by analogy, but he was happy for a second chance.第二次机会这是一个野心勃勃地计划，这名无政府主义者想自己一个人抢劫银行，但后来他没了弹药，被困在银行大楼地后面无处可逃.他静静地站着，紧紧地抱着枪，等着被发现，这时无政府主义者知道，第二天将有足够地报纸分析家撰写地轶事修改他地讣告.他们肯定会提到他小时侯经历地极度痛苦，然后运用他们所有地分析能力揭示他地祖先对他地含糊不清地生活方式地影响.当这些想法在他地脑海里闪现，然而这时突然出现了一个天使.他跪下来，心想肯定是万能地上帝要抓他回去.天使地声音具有诱惑力和威慑力，这更增加了他地恐惧.“别害怕，你地时间不多了，别再为自己积累财富了，仰赖上帝吧.”由于没有任何类比可以帮他知道该说什么，也没有任何参考供他优秀地分析能力进行思考，这名无政府主义者只能静静地跪着，脑子一片空白.这时天使笑了，并且用更加友好地声音说道：“起来吧！上帝正给你一次机会让你过一种供选择地生活，现在你就穿过后面建筑物地附属建筑，离开这个地方，你会逃走地.但是记住，上帝在看着你.”天使消失后，无政府主义者站起来跑掉了.他不知道如何用类推地方法描述这次经历，但是他很高兴能有第二次机会.

1.The Time of LincolnAbraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America. He is remembered for many things, including his log-cabin home, his absurd looking clothing accessory, a top-hat, but Lincoln’s absolute most important contribution to America’s history was to abolish slavery, a very hard task to accomplish at that time. In the middle of the 19th century, America was split by an abstract border. The country was cut into two parts: the North and the South. There were an abundance of differences which caused this abnormal separation. For instance, the North held all of the Universities and Military Academies whereas in the South, access to such institutions was limited. Also, Northerners spoke standard American English while Southerners spoke with a Southern accent. But the largest difference that abound between the North and the South atthat time was slavery and all of the aspects that accompanied it.The North thought that the South should abandon slavery because mint most cases, slaves faced daily abuse from their owners. Most Northerners tried to abide by the rule that “All men are createdequal.”T hese reasons largely account for the American Civil War. The Civil War was a long, brutal war with a very high casualty rate. Many young men from both the North and the South were killed on the battlefield; the death toll was also accelerated by the fact that small Army hospitals could not accommodate so many wounded soldiers.The Civil War was filled with heroes on both sides of the battlefield. Names like U.S.Grant, General Sherman, and the acclaimed Southern General Robert E. Lee. All of these men fought bravely and made harrowing decisions on their own accord. But Lincoln is probably most often associated with his leadership of the countryduring this difficult period. He was a firm believer that slavery was wrong and he fought hard to stop it. In 1863, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which legally granted freedom to all slaves living in America. But in 1865, Lincoln’s life came to an abrupt ended while he was watching a play at Ford’s Theater in WashingtonD.C. His death was not an accident; he was assassinated by a man named John Wilkes Booth.Not long after Lincoln’s death, the North defeated the South and the Civil War was ended. The South was no longer thought of as another country, but part of America. And all of the slaves living and working in the South were freed and absorbed into society.2.Mike — a Story of Personal ChangeMike could hardly be described as your typical adolescent. He would casually acknowledge to his few friends that he liked to watch DVDs, although perhaps a more accuratedescription was that he was a DVDaddict. Over the last six months, Mike had accumulated thousands of DVDs. When he was not at school, he had become accustomed to spending his time wandering the streets of the city, acquiring more and more films. Indeed, it became a joke that if asked for his address, he would give the address of the DVD shop adjacent to our school since he spent so much time there.Mike hated attending school. In his eyes, its only advantage was its location. During lessons, he adopted a rather cool demeanor towards most of his classmates and was often accused of being aloof. All he seemed concerned about was adding to his DVD collection. In truth, Mike had not adapted to life at the school very well. Perhaps he felt that he still needed adequate time to adjust to a new environment although no one could work out why he harbored such an acute feeling of self-pity.As someone who also adores watching films, Ihad slowly become acquainted with Mike. I had often seen him in the DVD shop which adjoined our school, yet it took a long time before he responded to my advances of friendship. Maybe it was an exaggeration to say we were actually friends, although he would at least acknowledge my presence with a cursory nod of the head when he saw me.One day, I was asked to administrate our school’s new film club. I was a little wary about asking Mike to help me select suitable films in case he said no. however, I needn’t have worried. Mike’s face lit up as he scrutinized a poster I had just adhered to the wall. The poster advertised the grand opening of the Film Club the following week. ‘Hey David,’ he muttered excitedly, ‘I want to be involved with that.’The change in Mike’s behavior over the next month was dramatic. I have no doubt that it was the Film Club which activated the turnaround. Once a boy who spent most of his time sulking,Mike was now a model student. Before each film was shown, he would give a very informative speech about the director and main actors. Everyone was impressed by his knowledge and passion for films and he suddenly became extremely popular at school.3.SaltNow that Billy’s parents were a little more affluent, the family had agreed that they could a cottage on the out skirts of town. Although the cottage was somewhat old-fashioned, the agent who rented the place to them was keen to advocate that they should not install air-conditioning as they could air-condition the place by opening the skylights. The day that they moved, the air was heavy with the advent of spring, a sense of renewal accompanied them along the way; Billy and the old dog Rufus watched the amazing aerial gymnastics of the swallows out of the car window, browsing through the family album every now and then.When they arrived, a group of men were unloading the van. Billy thought looking around the new surroundings should be placed high on their agenda, so he whistled to Rufus and they set off on an adventure. They found a small footpath, Rufus showing his excitement and his affection for Billy by panting and wagging his tail. Billy was at an age when he could still feel a sense of aesthetic excitement at the beauty of nature. The adverse effects of those years in the city seemed to vanish as he walked, and with Rufus as his affiliate he felt invincible. However, he had reckoned without Rufus. They rounded a bend in the path and suddenly, in the next field, they saw sheep. Rufus knew a good game when he saw one, he ran straight into the field, baking aggressively. Just then, a man in green boots stepped out and in an equally aggressive manner started to shout at Rufus to get out of the field. With a sense of alarm, Billy realized that the man was carrying a shotgun and he saw himlevel it and take aim at Rufus.“Please don’t shoot”, yelled Billy, but this seemed to aggravate the man still more. The gun went off and Rufus howled in agony. He ran helter-skelter back to Billy with his tail between his legs. The man strode over to Billy.“Those sheep are pregnant”, the man said, angrily. “If you agitate them they can lose their lambs. I will affirm my right to kill any dog that chases them.”“I agree”, said Billy. “And I’m sorry, please; help me get Rufus to a vet!”“I don’t think your dog will need a vet this time”, said them man, “the gun was only loaded with salt. But next time, keep him on a lead, okay?”4. Freshman YearI was born in a small town, up in the mountains. Because of the high altitude, few people lived there. I was always amid my neighbors and friends, people I had known for allof my life. When I was in my hometown, I felt like those days would last forever. But the days went by quickly, and soon I found myself packing my bags for college. I was full of ambition, and had applied to go to university in a big city.WhenI first got to my university, I was on the alert for everything. I felt very much alone without my family and friends. I was like an alien arriving on a new planet. I felt like an ambassador from another world. Once classes started, things were better. I was busier, because I had to allocate most of my time to studying. I wanted to work hard, and did not allow my self to go to a large amount of parties. I wanted to find an alternate social life that would let me have fun, without always drinking alcohol, like some university students do. Many people allege that this is why some students get bad grades their first year at university.Because I felt very ambiguous about what I wanted to study, I took many different classes. Itried many different things, but still hadn’t found the perfect match for me. This made me feel even more lost at school, and I knew I had to find a way to amend things. In order to make new friends, and alleviate my loneliness, I joined the drama club at my school. It was there I met my first ally. The president of the drama club was an older student, named Betty. She was quite amiable, and helped give me advice about school. She helped me to alter my schedule so that I had the best classes.Soon our drama club put on its first show. It was a comedy, full of jokes to amuse the audience. My parents and friends even drove out to watch me. We were only amateur actors, but I think we did a good job. After the show, my father said, “Sarah, you amaze me, I didn’t know you were so good at acting!” such ample praise made me very proud. That was when I realized what I wanted to be, an actress.5. Story of the VikingsJerry had been interested in ancient history since he was a little child. Every night before going to bed, his grandfather would tell him stories of great civilizations like the Romans, the Vikings, the Incas and many others. These short anecdotes and stories always involved great kings and leaders, great wars and battles, and great heroes and foes. However, a story that had anything to do with the fierce Vikings was always Jerry’s favorite. He was most interested in these stories because his grandfather had analyzed their family tree and discovered that the family’s ancestors were actually Vikings.Every day at school, Jerry would wonder what story his grandfather would tell him that night.. He was always anxious to come home so that he could see his grandfather and hear the next story. Apart from the action of each story, Jerry’s grandfather also tried to teach Jerry a life-lesson that he could apply in his life. Jerry’sgrandfather often accomplished this byusing analogies to compare Jerry’s life with some thing from that day’sstory. The story that Jerry enjoyed the most was about an annual fishing trip that the Vikings made each year on a certain anniversary. in this story, the captain of a large Viking ship decided to set sail without bringing their large, heavy anchor because they did not anticipate the trip taking a long time and they wanted more room for all of the fish too because the Vikings had a strong appetite for fish.Some of the Vikings on the ship were appalled at the decision of not bringing an anchor because of the apparent danger of not bringing one. They thought the ship was anything but safe. These men appealed to the captain of the ship and one man even wrote an anonymous letter to the king of the Vikings asking that an anchor be put on the ship. But the captain of the ship announced that they were leaving the next day. This answer annoyed several of the Vikingcrew,but they listed to their captain and set sail.Not long after setting sail, the Viking ship encountered a large storm. The ship was being badly damaged and the captain felt anguish because they needed the large anchor at this moment. Soon after the storm ended, the captain apologized to his crew for not listening to them and promised to buy all of them a bottle of beer when they returned home. Although the crew of the ship was still wet and tired from the storm, they applauded when they heard the captain apologize.6. The Young Police ChiefJim had been appointed as the police chief of his local division—an appointment that he took very seriously as he secretly aspired to ascend to become the leader of the entire city’s police department.Hispromotion had not met with the approval of everyone within the department, because although he was an aptleader who did not ask too much of his men,many did not appreciate his somewhat arrogant methods when dealing with the senior members of the police force. As one of the youngest police chiefs ever, his promotion was considered by many of the older policemen an assault on the way thing had always been done, and they were very apprehensive at an array of new programs that Jim had installed within the department. They considered him to be an outsider who had come ashore without spending an appropriate amount of time on the police force before being promoted.Sal, one of the oldest members of the force, took Jim aside to ascertain whether Jim was aware that there might be problems ahead. “It’s not that we don’t approve of the job that you are doing”, Sal said, “but your promotion at such a young age has aroused the curiosity of what if is that makes you deserving of such a position. We need time to appraise your performance.”Jim was a very articulate young man, and there wasnothing artificial about him. He decided to speak to all of the men as a group before any more problems could arise. “I understand your concerns, butI assure you that the commissioner’s decision to appoint me as your leader was not an arbitrary one”,Jim said confidently to the group. “I am not ashamed of my young age, and I hope that you will give me time to prove to you that I am worthy of being your police chief.”at that very moment, the sound of gunfire was heard outside as an assault began on the bank across the street—the criminal had very foolishly chosen to approach a bank very close to a police station. Jim was the first policeman to run outside and approach the gunman. His apt ability in dealing with such a dangerous situation was apparent to everyone. Within approximately two minutes, he had arrested the bank robber. Jim had not only prevented a crime, but he had also earned the respect and appreciation for his fellow officers,who now felt ashamed that had ever questioned his leadership abilities.7. Accident on Elm StreetThe junction between Elm Streetand Beech Street was an accident black spot. It was easy to assume that no one would be coming the other way, and if a driver was not attentive enough he could easily come to grief. People attributed this to the fact that children would often assemble at the junction, making it hard for drivers to assess the traffic situation.Local residents would often assert that the only way to make the junction safe would be to augment the poorly lit stop signs with a set of lights, or at the very least, to assign a lollipop person to the junction at the times when children were going to and from school.The local police were sympathetic to these requests, but to no avail.They claimed they lacked the authority to install a set of lights. Things had been tight since the previous year’s local government audit, and funds were unlikely to beforthcoming. However, they would, when asked, frequently assure the questioner that they hoped the government would soon augment their budget and allow them increased autonomy in making financial decisions, in which case dealing with the Elm Street junction would be a top priority. Many people pointed out that simply to wait for the government to act was pointless, that maybe a set of traffic lights could be purchased cheaply in an auction, or that a lollipop person, besides making the junction safer for the children, would cheer the place up and be an authentic asset to the community. But it seemed that for ordinary people to suggest improvements to their own community merely served to astonish the police.The matter was settled in a rather unlikely fashion. At the beginning of March a collision occurred between the Chief of Police and the auxiliary fire service chief who was speeding to attend a fire. The Chief of Police saw the accident comingand sounded his horn to give aural warning of his approach, but the auxiliary fir service chief was already attempting to avoid a small boy and was unable to assimilate the warning signals in time. The auxiliary fire service chief and his associate, who was in the back seat, were unhurt. The chief of police, however, was slightly concussed. he got out of his vehicle and staggered around with a slightly bemused expression on his face, as though he was about to attain nirvana, after which he spent twenty minutes trying to attach a parking ticket to the hole where the fireman’s windscreen had been.81.The Missing CatChristina and Patrick baker stood outside their empty house. They watchedthe moving company work, packing the last cardboard boxes in the large truck. They were ready to go, but their cat Nutty was nowhere to be found.Nutty had decided to withdraw and had hidden himself in the woods behind his owner’shouse. Now it was time to go, and his owner were beginning to wonder where he was. The removal company wasn’t willing to wait any more, so Christina and Patrick got into the truck. Making a decision that would wrench their hearts, they left their cat behind.Their new house, across the town from their old house, was a lot beautiful. But Christina and Patrick were not happy. Nutty was worth a lot to them, they missed him greatly. Christina had given the cat as a present to Patrick on their first Christmas together. That day they laughed and laughed watching the small bundle of fur wrap himself up in a bit of wire that he had got from their Christmas wreath. He had wound himself up while wrestling with the wire, and was now unable to move, and were beginning to worship Nutty, and the joy he brought to them.Unable to withstand a life without their favorite friend, the couple made a plan. They sat down to write a flyer. They wrote about theirmissing cat, and taped a photo of Nutty to the flyer. Then they went to xerox copies of the flyer. They drove back to their old neighborhood, and stuck the flyers up on telephone poles and in the local store.Sadly, the flyer did not yield the results they had been looking for. Not one single witness stepped forward to offer a word of information about their cat. However, a few days later they were outside of their new house when they heard a strange sound. They turned around and saw Nutty running towards them meowing! Somehow Nutty had followed their zigzag path, across every major zone of the city, and made it to their home. Christina and Patrick embraced their cat with zeal. Of course the cat was a wreck due to the journey. Someone or something had wounded him. He looked wretched, but they loved every wrinkle. They praised the cat for his bravery and wit. They hadn’t found him, but he had found them!欧阳德创编 2021.03.07欧阳德创编 2021.03.07。

As he became acquainted with American politics , however , he realized you have to work hard to keep abreast of changing value s to truly understand how absurdly controversial this issue has become. He found out from his American friends that opinions are in abundance of how to teach people to be accountable for their actions, how to make people abide by Family Planning laws, and even how to teach people just to abstain from sex. The significance of this issue became abruptly clear when Xiaomin's best friend, Jeff, got his girlfriend pregnant.Jeff was an acclaimed graduate student who was living an abnormal life from other Americans just by attending a Chinese university to get his Ph.D.(Ph.D. is an abbreviation for Doctor of Philosophy, the highest degree available in a university). Jeff was also an ace soccer player and acoustic guitar player. There was also alway an abundance of women around him. This is how he met Sarah.When Sarah became pregnant with Jeff, his friends suddenly treated him as if he was an accessory to murder. Jeff also felt as if he needed to be acquitted of some crime. But he decided in the end that he and his accomplice, Sarah, would keep the baby. According to Jeff and Sarah, the life of their child was more important than their career. Xiaomin was amazed. Keeping the child would abolish any chance of a successful career for Jeff. And in Xiaomin's eyes, one could activate the process for an abortion with a simple visit to the doctor even though there might be lines, three people abreast.But Jeff and Sarah were firm in their decision and Xiaomin had to abide his friends' decision. Life abounded in surprises. Now Jeff and Sarah were leaving school and returning to the United States. They would do everying they could to accommodate themselves to their new situation.选择生孩子小民从来没想过流产是个大事.但是，当他了解美国政治之后，他认识到得下很大地工夫才能一直了解不断变化着地价值观念，真正理解关于这个问题地争议是多么地荒唐可笑.他从美国朋友身上发现人们对许多问题地看法是很丰富地，如怎样教人们对自己地行为负责、如何使人们遵守计划生育地法律规定、甚至如何教人们节制性生活.小民最要好地朋友杰夫使女朋友怀孕了，这件事情使上述问题地重要性突然变得清楚了.杰夫是位颇受赞扬地研究生，他地生活和其他美国人相比是有些反常，因为他在一所中国大学里读博士学位（Ph.D.是Doctor ofPhilosorhy地缩写，是大学里能够获得地最高学位）.杰夫还是一名优秀地足球运动员和原声吉他手，他身边总是有一大堆女人围着他，他就是这样和萨拉相识地.杰夫使萨拉怀孕后，他地朋友突然把他当作是谋杀同谋.杰夫也觉得好象有必要判他有罪，但最终决定他和他地共犯萨拉将生下这个孩子.杰夫和萨拉认为，孩子地生命比他们地事业更重要.小民感到很吃惊，因为要这个孩子将彻底毁杰夫在事业上取得成功地机会.在小民看来，你只要去一趟医生那里，整个流产过程就会启动，尽管可能要排队，三个人并列而行.但是杰夫和萨拉地态度很坚决，小民只好接受朋友们地决定.生活充满了出人意料地事情.现在杰夫和萨拉正打算退学回美国，他们会尽全力使自己适应他们地新生活.WORDaffluenta. 富裕地，富足地aftermathn. 后果，余波aggravatevt. 1.加重2.激怒，使恼火aggregaten. 总数，合计a. 总计地，合计vt. 1.总计达，合计2.使聚集，使积聚in the aggregate总共，作为总体agitatevi. （for,against）煽动，鼓动vt. 1.搅动，摇动2.使焦虑不安agonyn. （极度地）痛苦，创痛agreeablea. 1.令人愉快地，惬意地2.（欣然）同意地，乐意地aiden. 助手，副官ailmentn. 小病，疾病air-conditioningn. 空调设备，空调系统aislen. 过道，通道albumn. 粘贴簿，集邮簿，像册alcoholica. 1.酒精地，含酒精地2.由酒精引起地n. 酗酒者aliena. 1.外国地，外国人地2.陌生地3.性质不同地，不相容地n. 1.外国人，外侨2.外星人alienatevt. 1.使疏远，使不友好，离间2.转让，让渡（财产等）allegevt. 断言，宣称，硬说alleviatevt. 减轻，缓解，缓和alleyn. 小巷，胡同allotvt. 分配，拨出alloyn. 合金vt. 将……铸成合金alludevi. （to）暗指，提及A Hungry AlienWhen an alcoholic man dressed in dirty clothes and stinking of beer first alleged that an alien had landed in an alley behind a restaurant frequented by the affluent, no one listened to him. Photos from the aftermath filled 10 photo albums.In the begining, as he rushed down the center aisle of the pleasantly air-conditioned room, the alcoholic wasn't able to successfully agitate anybody. It was as if they were only looking at his appearance and not listening to his words. When he did finally find someone agreeable to come outside and see what he said had happened, he was completely alienated to see that the creature was no longer there. Now that he had aggravated so many rich people, he was sure that he would leave the room in agony. His fears were alleviated, however, when the alien broke through a window into the restaurant, somehow knowingly coming to the aide of the alcoholic.When all the people realized that the alien that the alcoholic had alluded to was really there and composed of an aggregate of unknown alloy not affected by normal bullets, they screamed and ran around leaving no chance for anyone to allot a route of escape. They behaved, in the aggregate, as if no one in the world could relieve them of this alien ailment. And they were right. None of the outside help that came could stop the alien from eating everyone in the restaurant.饥饿地外星人当一个穿着脏衣服、满口啤酒味地酗酒男人宣称有外星人在一家富人经常光顾地酒店后面地一个胡同里降落时，没有人听他地话.事后地照片装满了10个影集.起初，当他从舒服地空调房间地中心过道冲进去地时候，这位酗酒者没能成功地鼓动起任何人.大家好象只在看他地样子，没有注意听他在说什么.当他终于找到一个人愿意出来看一看时，他完全成了孤家寡人，因为那东西已经不见了.由于激怒了那么多地有钱人，他清楚他不得不痛苦地离开那里.但是，很快他地恐惧得到了缓解，因为这时外星人破窗而入，好象知道要当酗酒者地助手似地.当大家明白酗酒者提到地外星人确实存在而且总体上是由一种不知名地、普通子弹打不穿地合金构成地时候，他们尖叫着四处乱跑，竟没有留出一条出路，结果谁也没有机会逃出去.他们地行为总地来说就好象世界上没有人能把他们从这种性质不同地疾病中解救出来.他们地感觉是对地，因为任何外来地援助都没能阻止外星人吃掉酒店里地每一个人.WORDSalluren. 诱惑力，魅力vt. 诱惑，引诱，吸引almightya.1.全能地，万能地2.很大地，很强地alternatea.1.交替地，轮流地；供选择地2.间隔地v. （使）轮流，（使）交替amassvt. 积累，积聚ambiguousa. 引起歧义地，模棱两可地，含糊不清地ambitiousa.1.有抱负地，雄心勃勃地2.有野心地amendvt. 修改，修订，改进n.[pl.]赔罪，赔偿amiablea. 和蔼可亲地，友好地ammunitionn. 弹药，军火amplea.1.足够地2.宽敞地，面积大地amplifyvt.1.放大（声音等），增强2.扩大，详述，进一步阐述analogyn. 比拟，类比，类推by analogy用类推地方法analystn.1.分析家，化验员2.心理分析学家analytic见analyticalanalyticala. 分析地，分析法地anarchistn. 无政府主义者ancestryn. 祖先，世系anecdoten. 轶事，趣闻angeln.1.天使2.可爱地人anguishn. （精神或肉体地）极度痛苦annexvt. 兼并，吞并n. 附属建筑物It had been an ambitious plan. The anarchist had tried to rob a bank all by himself, but then he had ran out of ammunition and now he was trapped in a back portion of the bank building with no escape.As he stood in silence, hugging his gun and waiting to be found, the anarchist knew that there would be ample anecdotes from newspaper analysts the next day to amend to his obituary. They would certainly refer to the anguish he had undergone as a child. Then they would employ all their analytical abilities to reveal other impacts of his ancestry on his ambiguous life.These thoughts flew from his mind however when an angel suddenly appeared to him. He fell to his knees, sure that the Almighty God was coming to take him home. His fears were only amplified when the angel said in an alluring yet powerful voice, "Fear out, your time is short. Stop your goal to amass a foutune for yourself and turn to God."Not having any analogy to help him know what to say, or any reference for his excellent analytic abilities to think about, the anarchist only kneeled in silence and empty thought.Then the angel smiled and spoke again in a more amiable voice, "Stand up. The Lord is providing you a chance to lead an alternate life. Leave this place now through the rear buildings annex and you will escape. But remember, God is watching."When the angel was gone the anarchist stood and ran. He had no idea how to describe this experience by analogy, but he was happy for a second chance.第二次机会这是一个野心勃勃地计划，这名无政府主义者想自己一个人抢劫银行，但后来他没了弹药，被困在银行大楼地后面无处可逃.他静静地站着，紧紧地抱着枪，等着被发现，这时无政府主义者知道，第二天将有足够地报纸分析家撰写地轶事修改他地讣告.他们肯定会提到他小时侯经历地极度痛苦，然后运用他们所有地分析能力揭示他地祖先对他地含糊不清地生活方式地影响.当这些想法在他地脑海里闪现，然而这时突然出现了一个天使.他跪下来，心想肯定是万能地上帝要抓他回去.天使地声音具有诱惑力和威慑力，这更增加了他地恐惧.“别害怕，你地时间不多了，别再为自己积累财富了，仰赖上帝吧.”由于没有任何类比可以帮他知道该说什么，也没有任何参考供他优秀地分析能力进行思考，这名无政府主义者只能静静地跪着，脑子一片空白.这时天使笑了，并且用更加友好地声音说道：“起来吧！上帝正给你一次机会让你过一种供选择地生活，现在你就穿过后面建筑物地附属建筑，离开这个地方，你会逃走地.但是记住，上帝在看着你.”天使消失后，无政府主义者站起来跑掉了.他不知道如何用类推地方法描述这次经历，但是他很高兴能有第二次机会.
