《全新版大学英语(第二版)快速阅读1》部分原文A Country of ImmigrantsAs you walk along the street in any American city,you see many different faces.You see oriental faces of the United States,a country of immigrants from all over the world.Immigrants are people who leave one country to live permanently in another country.The first immigrants came to North America in the 1600s from northern European countries such as England and Holland.These people generally hadlight skin and light hair.They came to live in North America because they wanted religious freedom.In the 1700s and early 1800s immigrants continued to move from Europe to the United States.At this time there was one group of unwilling immigrants,black Africans.These people were tricked or forced to come to the United States,where they worked on the large farms in thesouth.The blacks had no freedom;they were slaves.In the 1800s many Chinese and Irish immigrants came to the United States.They came because of economic or political problems in their countries.The most recent immigrants to the UnitedStates,the Indochinese,Cubans,and Central Americans also came because of economic or political problems in their own countries.Except for theblacks,most of these immigrants thought of the United States as a land of opportunities,of a chance for freedom and new lives.In the United States,these immigrants looked for help from other immigrants who shared the same background,language,andreligion.Therefore,there are neighborhoods in each U.S. city made up almost entirely of one ethnic or racial group.There are all Italian,all Puerto Rican,or all Irish neighborhoods in many East Coast cities and all Mexican neighborhoods in the Southwest.In Dearborn,Michigan,there is a large group of Lebanese.There are racial neighborhoods such as oriental Chinatown in New York.There are also neighborhoods with a strong religious feeling such as a Jewish part of Brooklyn in New York.And,of course,there are economic neighborhooddivisions;in American cities very often poor people do not live in the same neighborhoods as rich people.This wide variety of neighborhoods in the cities is a reflection of the different groups in American society. American society is a mixture ofracial,language,cultural,religious,and economicgroups.People sometimes call America a melting pot and compare its society to a soup with many different ingredients.The ingredients (differentraces,cultures,religions,and economicgroups)supposedly mix together to make a smooth soup.But,in reality,there are a few lumps left in the soup.Andrew CarnegieOne of the captains of industry of 19th century America,AndrewCarnegie,helped build the American steel industry,a process that turned a poor young man into one of the richestentrepreneurs of his age. Later in his life,Carnegie sold hie steel business and systematically gave his fortune away to cultural,educational and scientific institutions for “the improvement of mankind.”Carnegie was born in Dunfermline,Scotland,in 1835.The town was a center of the linenindustry,and Andrew?s father was a weaver,a profession the young Carnegie was expected to follow.But the industrial revolution that would later make Carnegie the richest man in the world,destroyed the weavers? craft.When the steam-powered looms came to Dunfermline in 1847,hundreds of handloom weavers became unemployed.Andrew?s mother opened a small grocery shop and mended shoes to support the family.“I began to learn what poverty meant,”Andrew would later write.”It was burnt into my heart then that my father had to beg for work.And then and there came the determination that I would cure when I got to be a man.”The family moved to the United States in 1848,and began a new life inPittsburgh,Pennsylvania.William Carnegie secured work in a cotton factory and his son Andrew took work in the same building as a bobbin boy for $1.20 a ter,Carnegie worked as a messenger boy in the city?s telegraphoffice.He did each job to the best of his ability and seized every opportunity to take on new responsibilities.For example,he memorized Pittsburgh?s street layout as well as the important name and addresses of those he delivered to.Carnegie often was asked to deliver messages to the theater.He arranged to make these deliveries at night-and stayed on to watch plays by Shakespeare and other great writers.In what would be a life-long pursuit of knowledge,Carnegie also took advantage of a small library that a local benefactor made available to working boys.One of the men Carnegie met at the telegraph office was ThomasA.Scott,then a director at Pennsylvania Railroad.Scott was taken by the young worker and referred to him as “my boy Andy,”hiring him as his private secretary and personal telegrapher at $35 a month.“I couldn?t imagine,”Carnegie said many years later,”what I could ever do with so muchmoney.”Carnegie was always eager to shoulder new responsibilities,and he worked his way up the ladder in Pennsylvania Railroad and succeeded Scott as head of the Pittsburgh Division.As the outbreak of the Civil War,Scott was responsible for military transportation for the North and Carnegie worked as his right-hand man.The Civil War fueled the iron industry,and by the time the war wasover,Carnegie saw thepotential in the field and resigned from Pennsylvania Railroad.It was one of many brave moves that would typify Carnegie?s life in industry and earn him his fortune.He then turned his attention to the Keystone Bridge Company,which worked to replace wooden bridges with stronger iron ones.In three years he had an annual income of $50,000.Carnegie would continue making huge amounts of money for the next 30 years.To improve the efficiency of his steel plant,Carnegie would make use of the Bessemer Process,which was the first cheap process for mass-producing steel.Carnegie threw his own money into the process and even borrowed heavily to build a new steel plant near Pittsburgh.Carnegie was strict in keeping down costs and managed by the saying “watch costs and the profits take care of themselves.”“I thi nk Carnegie?s genius was first of all,an ability to foresee how things were going tochange,”says historian John Ingram. “Once he saw that something was of potential benefit to him,he was willing to invest enormously in it.”Still,Carnegie?s steel plants developed rapidly,and by 1900,Carnegie Steel produced more of the metal than all of Great Britain.That was also the year that financier J.P.Morgan issued a major challenge to Carnegie?s steel empire.While Carnegie believed he could beat Morgan in a battle that couldlast five,10 or 15 years,the fight did not appeal to the 64-year-old man eager to spend more time with his wife Louise,whom he had married in 1886 at the age of 51,and their daughter,Margaret.Carnegie wrote the asking price for his steel business on a piece of paper and had one of hismanagers deliver the offer to Morgan.Morgan accepted immediately,buying the company for $480 million. “Congratulations,Mr.Carnegie,”Morgan said to Carnegie when they finali zed the deal, “you are now the richest man in the world.”Carnegie liked to say that “the man who dies rich dies disgraced,”and turned his attention to giving away his fortune.He disliked charity,and instead put his money to use helping others help themselves.That was the reason he spent much of his fortune on establishing over 2,500 publiclibraries as well as supporting institutions of higher learning.By the time Carnegie?s life was over,he gave away 350million dollars.I.M.PeiI.M.Pei is sitting in his living room and is talking about architecture or the designing of buildings. “It is not just an idea,but the way in which that idea is done,that is important.This is what I mean by the ?architecture of ideas.?I worry that ideas and the practice of architecture as a profession,as a business,do not come together often enough.”He stops,then adds: “Maybe my early training set me back.Maybe it made me too practical.”That is an unexpected comment from a man like Pei,who runs a business that employs manypeople and has important customers all over the world.I.M.Pei questioning the value of money.Yet his company,I.M.Pei &Partners,is more than just abusiness that designs buildings.It has always tried to bring together beauty and art with business sense,and today it is probably the leaderamong American architecture companies that do very well both artistically and commercially.It is hard enough to become well know either as an artistic or as a business success in architecture:to do so as both is unusual and surprising.I.M.Pei,a leader in his field for more than thirty years,seems to get better and busier as the years go by.One reason for his success is that he is well known as a kind and thoughtful person.But it is also because of the seriousness of his work.He believes in improving on and developing from styles and designs that have been used before,not in newness for its ownpanies hire himbecause they believe that his designs are strong and modern without being shocking.Pei?s style is based on geometric forms,like most of the architecture of modern times.But he has continued to use these forms while other important architects have begun to change theirstyles,making use of the forms of architecture from other countries and other periods in history.Ieoh Ming Pei was born in China in 1917,but he calls himself “an American architect -absolutely.”He went to the United States in 1935 to studyarchitecture,and remained there because of the war.In the late1940s he got a very good job and decided to become an American citizen.He has lived in New York since then,but he never forgotten the land of his childhood.In 1978 Pei was invited to design s hotel in China.It was a very difficult thing for him to do beca use “there seems to be only two choices - either to copy the old Chinese style with red columns and golden roofs or to build modern Western buildings.I do not think either of these is right.There has to be a third way.”Pei?s “third way”is very much li ke traditional Chinese architecture.It uses the same kinds ofmaterials and forms,and is only different in one important aspect:it well have a flat roof instead of a curved one because that kind is safer and less expensive.In New York City,IM.Pei&Partners will build a convention center,that is,a large building for meetings and shows that will be much bigger than the hotel in Beijing,and in some ways much simpler.In fact,the biggest problem is that the center may look too much like a large box.Therefore they are working to create a number of public areas within the one huge space.These will be used for other things even when there are no special meetings or shows,and will make the building itself into a tourist attraction.It is possible that Pei?s way of working may soon change,becoming morelike one or the other of the two major modern directions.He might decide to make more use of the styles and ideas of the architecture of older cultures (as he did with his hotel in China)or he might decide to treat his buildings even more artistically (as he did the Kennedy Library in Boston).But it does not seem likely that Pei?s work will move strongly in either direction.He believes his work gives hiscustomers what they want and he tries to make his buildings fit the jobs they are supposed to do.Internet Love Can WorkI had heard of the chat room on the Internet,but it had never appealed to me.Talking to total strangers that you cannot see struck me as too strange.One day I was surfing the net,when Idiscovered MSN?s chat rooms and making up a nickname decided to just watch and see what all the fuss was about.There on the screen were twenty or so people who were chatting away about anything and everything.As I studied the conversations,afraid to join on and expose myself as a “newbie”,I was drawn to one person.She was intelligent,witty and expressed a love of the UK,my home.Her name was Linda and she was from California,a part of the States I had never seen butwas interested in.So summoning up all my courage,I said hi and introduced myself.We began to chat and I found that it was very relaxed to the point that I was amazed when the conversation ended.We had been chatting for two whole hours,totally ignoring everyone else in the room.We parted company,saying that we hoped we would bump into each other again.All that next day,I wondered ifthat was just a polite goodbye or if she really wanted to continue our conversation.That evening I logged on,half of me hoping Linda would be there,the other half afraid that she wouldn?t.Sure enough,she wasn?t in the chat room and I sat at the computer screen only half reading the conversations that flashed up before me.Then Linda?s name appeared and with the usual “Hi room”, she said “Hi Vince”.My life suddenly became brighter in that instant.I kepttelling myself it was crazy,here was a woman I only just met,hardly knew and yet I had missed her all day.We chatted again,and the hours vanished,with the other chatters leaving us alone in the room.I had dated quite a few times in my then twenty-five years of life,but never had anyone taken my interest so completely as this stranger from across the sea.We discussed everything,ourlikes,dislikes,our troubles and our pleasures and the more we talked the more amazed we became at how much we had in common.Weeks went by and every evening we would meet up and talk,the two hours becoming three,then four.We exchanged pictures,but were both afraid we would blow it by doing so.And ,as I looked at her picture on my screen,I was amazed at the fact that no one had snapped up this American beauty in the years since her graduation from college.The weeks had become months and we both admitted we had feelings for each other,our friendship becoming something far greater.Then came the time that anyone who ever had an Internet relationship will know...the meeting.Linda had said that she would fly to the UK to meet me,but I insisted that I flew to the States.I explained to her my fears that should she come to me and for some reason we didn?t hit it off,then she would be a woman alone in a strange country where as for a guy it wouldn?t be so bad.Linda finally agreed and a week or two later I found myself on a plane winging my way to San Diego.We had arranged that I would be met by her brother who would drop me off at my hotel and that I would ring her once I had freshened up and she would come over and we would go out for a meal.Forty five minutes of pacing up and down after I made the call,there was a knock on the door.I opened the door to the most beautiful woman I had ever known.Both of us were nervous when we kissed hello.We looked into each other?s eyes and thatkiss became another filled with all the emotions that had developed over the months of online chatting.I stayed for two weeks taking Linda out after she finished work at the local hospital.And we fell head over heels in love.I returned home,and missed Linda like crazy,the online chat now seeming so pale in comparison with holding the woman I loved in my arms.Linda missed me too and so I jumped on a plane and went back this time for a month.This went on for five visits and each time I would extend my return ticket because we couldn?t bear to part.感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

Unit 10I. Directions: Read the following passages, and then select the best choice for each of thequestions or incomplete statements.Passage 1The world is running out of oil, and energy experts believe that there could be serious shortages in ten years' time. Governments are searching for a suitable alternative, but so far it has been in vain. They are considering how they can make better use of the two other major fuels, coal and natural gas, but they have found that neither can take the place of oil in terms of economy. In recent years, there has been a growing concern for the environment and coal is not a popular fuel with environmentalists. Coal mines are ugly, and their development has a serious effect on animal and plant life; coal itself is a heavy pollutant. Natural gas, the purest of the three fuels, is also the most limited in supply.The answer would seem to lie in nuclear power stations. They need very little fuel to produce enormous amount of power and they do not pollute the atmosphere. Their dangers, however, are so great and the cost of building them is so high that some governments are unwilling to invest in them. Not only could one accident in a single nuclear power station spread as much radioactivity as a thousand Hiroshima (广岛) atom bombs, but the radioactive waste from these stations is extremely dangerous--for one hundred thousand years. So is there no possible alternative to nuclear power?Well, there are several, but none of them seems likely to satisfy future world energy demands. Scientists have recently turned their attention to natural sources of energy: the sun, the sea, the wind and hot springs. Of these the sun seems the most promising source for the future. Houses have already been built which are heated entirely by solar (太阳的) energy. However, solar energy can only be collected during daylight hours, and in countries where the weather is unreliable, an alternative heating system has to be included. Another source of energy which could be more widely used is that generated by water or steam from under the earth. This form of energy is already being used in New Zealand, Iceland, and very successfully in Italy, where it in fact generates a quarter of the nation's electricity. Many scientists are optimistic (乐观的) that new ways of generating large amounts of energy will be successfully developed, but at the same time they fear the consequences. If the world population goes on increasing at its present rate, and eachindividual continues to use more energy every year, in fifty years' time, we would damage the earth's atmosphere. We can all help to protect the environment by not wasting energy, and make the world a cleaner, healthier place for future generations.(Words: 441)1. The energy experts have done the following to find solutions to energy shortagesEXCEPT_____.A) looking for other fuels to replace oilB) planning more nuclear power stationsC) considering natural resourcesD) considering geothermal energy2. By saying "coal is not a popular fuel with environmentalists" the writer meansthat _____.A) coal is more expensive than natural gasB) coal causes environmental problemsC) coal is more and more difficult to findD) coal mines are ugly3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) Nuclear power is a safe and reliable energy source.B) Solar energy is always available as a source of energy.C) Water and steam energy has been successfully used in some countries.D) The real solution to energy crisis lies in natural sources of energy.4. What are scientists' attitudes towards new energy exploration?A) Optimistic. B) Pessimistic. C) Fearful. D) Mixed.5. What can ordinary people do to help protect the environment?A) Develop more energy.B) Keep the population from increasing rapidly.C) Conserve energy.D) Clean up the world.Passage 2What will cities of the future be like? Will they have the same problems as our present cities? Or will they be wonderful places to live in? What cities of the future will be like depends on how we plan cities today.People-called city planners look for ways to solve city problems. As city planners are specialists, they look ahead to the future. They look for ways to help cities to grow. Sometimes, they even plan whole new cities.City planners worry about the problems of CBDs (Central Business District). How can these busy areas meet the needs of both people and businesses? The city of Fresno, California, has worked out good answers to this question. Not long ago, the CBD there was crowded and ugly. It was hard to walk there because there were so many cars and trucks. And shoppers had no room to park.However, Fresno's city planners decided to change the city's CBD. First, they made it much nicer to look at. They planted trees. They built fountains, walkways, and play areas. Then they fixed up the older buildings in the CBD and even built new ones.Then the city planners said that no cars could drive into the CBD. People could park their cars in nearby garage, but they either had to walk into the CBD or drive in little electric cars.Today, Fresno's CBD is a good place to visit. It is very nice to walk in, and it has many pretty things to look at.Many cities today do not have enough space for new buildings. All their land is used up. One way to find space is to look in a new direction--up. All cities have a lot of unused air space. A few years ago, an airline wanted to put up a new building. They wanted to build it in the center of Manhattan Island. But Manhattan is the most crowded part of New York City. Unused land on Manhattan would have been very hard to find.The airline solved its problem by using air space. That is, they put up their building over another building. The company's new building was built over a train station.(Words: 367)1. According to the passage, city planners do the following jobs EXCEPT _____.A) solving city problemsB) designing city spacesC) building modem housesD) planning whole new cities2. From the passage, we learn that a fine city depends on _____.A) future plannersB) careful planningC) the improvement of CB DD) house construction3. Which of the following was NOT adopted by city planners to change the Fresno's CBD?A) They built more parking lots.B) They planted more trees.C) They built areas for entertainment.D) They made it more beautiful.4. How did the airline solve the problem of constructing a building in crowded Manhattan?A) They built more walkways.B) They fixed up older buildings.C) They found space underground.D) They used the air space above an existing building.5. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A) the same city problems of today will exist with future citiesB) future cities will be pleasant places to live inC) the look of future cities depends on how we use air space todayD) there will be more tall buildings in future citiesII. Directions: Read the following passages, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).Passage 3Just look around at any school or shopping mall and you'll see (and hear) one thing for sure' Teens are head over heels for cell phones. By 2005, two out of three Americans between the ages of 10 and 19 will be mobile, say experts at the Boston-based research firm, Yankee Group. Yet a troubling question dogs (困绕，纠缠) cell phone use: Do the phones possibly cause brain cancer?Two new studio--- one funded by the cell phone industry and the US government, the other by the National Cancer institute--- claim' Probably not.The studies compared 1,251 brain cancer patients with 1,221 cancer-free people. All subjects were short-term cell phone users who chatted less than three hours per month and owned a cell phone for three years. Neither study proved a conclusive (决定性的) link between using cell phones and brain cancer. "But these studies don't answer the question, is it absolutely impossible for cell phones to cause brain cancer?" says John Molders, a cancer specialist at the Medical College of Wisconsin.Yet not all scientists agree cell phones are harmless. Previous research has shown a possible link between cell phones and brain cancer in animals, says Louis Slewing, editor of Microwave News. The issue is far from settled, he says.Cell phones emit all invisible type of energy called radiowaves. When you speak into a digital cell phone, your vocal vibrations are convened into digital signals (a series of on-off pulses). The phone's antenna (天线) then transmits the signals as radiowaves, which bounce between radio towel's and satellites in orbit above Earth.While both sending and receiving calls, your cell phone emits a tiny amount of energy--- less than one watt (energy unit per second)--- next to your head. Many experts think radiowaves are harmless, even at that close range. Others, however, think, "The jury (裁决) is still out."(Words: 304)( ) 1. Two-thirds of Americans will use mobile phone by 2005.( ) 2. There's still no definite conclusion as to whether cell phones cause brain cancer. ( ) 3. A research proves that the use of cell phones causes brain cancer in animals. ( ) 4. Cell phones transmit vocal vibrations from one to another.( ) 5. Experts are divided about the harmlessness of radiowaves.Passage 4Electronic computers are among the fastest and most useful instruments for sorting and comparing now in use. Computers provide the means for greater speed and accuracy in working with ideas than had previously been possible. With the development of these new tools, it is as if we have suddenly become millionaires of the mind.Although we have been growing mentally richer ever since we developed the ability to think, the electronic computer allows and will continue to allow us to perform tremendous "mental" tasks in a relatively short time. Great scientists of the past produced ideas which were the foundation for great advances, but their ideas sometimes had to wait for years before they were sufficiently (足够地) well-understood to be of practical use. With the computer, the ideas of today's scientists can be studied, tested, distributed, and used more rapidly than ever before.Old lines and methods of communication do not work easily or efficiently with the great amount of information we have now. The repeated actions of preparing, sorting, filing, distributing, and keeping track of records and publications can be as troublesome as calculating. Errors occur because humans can grow tired and can be distracted (分心的).The basic job of computers is the tireless processing of such information. For this reason, computers can be defined as devices which accept information, perform mathematical or logical operations with the information, and then supply the results of these operations as new information.The future use and development of computers will depend on our own cleverness and skills. After all, we created computers, and we will continue to improve them.(Words: 265)( ) 1. The new tool of computer helps many people become millionaires.( ) 2. Today, ideas of scientists may be put into practical use much more quickly. ( ) 3. Errors may occur in calculations because some calculations are too troublesome. ( ) 4. The writer believes that the computer is a revolutionary tool.( ) 5. In the future, computers can improve and update themselves.III. Directions: Read the following passages, and then fill in the blanks with the missing information.Passage 5Computers are capable of doing extremely complicated work in all branches of learning. They can solve the most complex mathematical problems or put thousands of unrelated facts in order. These machines can be put to varied uses. For instance, they can provide information on the best way to prevent traffic accidents, or they can count the number of times the word "and" has been used in the Bible. Because they work accurately and at high speeds, they save research workers years of hard work.This process by which machines can be used to work for us has been called automation. "Automation" was a word coined in the 1940s, and while the word was new, the idea was not. We know of the automatic valves (阀门) and their role in the develop- ment of the steam engine. Long before that, during the Middle Ages, windmills (风车) had been made to turn by taking advantage of changes in the wind by means of devices that worked automatically.We now use the term "automation" for specific techniques combined to operate automatically in a complete system. In the future, automation may enable human beings to enjoy far more leisure than they do today. The coming of automation is bound to have important social consequences.Some time ago an expert on automation, Sir Leon Bagrit, pointed out that it was a mistake to believe that these machines could "think." That is, there is no possibility that human beings will be "controlled by machines." Though computers are capable of learning from their mistakes and improving on their performance, they need detailed instructions from human beings in order to operate. They can never, as it were, lead independent lives, or "rule the world" by making decisions of their own.Sir Leon said that in the future, computers would be small enough to carry in the pocket. Computers could be plugged (插入) into a national network and be used like radios. For instance, people going on holiday could be informed about weather conditions; car drivers could be given alternative routes when there are traffic jams. It will also be possible to make tiny translating machines. This will enable people who do not share a common language to talk to each other without any difficulty or to read foreign publications. Computers are the most efficient servants we have ever had, and there is nolimit to the way they can be used to improve our lives.(Words: 403)1. With the computer's __________ scientists save years of hard work.2. The writer used automatic valves and windmills as examples to show __________.3. The computers need __________ in order to operate.4. The size of future computers would be __________.5.

Unit 31.Direction: read the following passages, and then select the best choice for each ofthe questions or inplete statements.Passage 1Traditional American summer camps offer young people a chance to play many sports. These camps may be in the mountains. Or they may be in the woods, or at a lake. Some camps teach activities like painting or music. Or they teach puter programming or foreign languages. Children at all kinds of camps meet new friends. They learn new skills and develop independence.Some children go to camp during the day and return home at night. Others stay at camp all day and all night. Children stay at an overnight camp for between one and eight weeks. Parents can pay less than one hundred dollars or more than seven-hundred dollars a week for an overnight camps.Children from poor families might not have a chance to attend summer camp. The Fresh Air Fund is a well-known organization. People around the country give money to support the Fresh Air Fund. Each summer it sends ten thousand poor children to stay with families in the country or to five camps in New York State.Summer camps have bee very important to millions of families.

He was walking through a meadow 〔草地〕of tall grass when he noticed something strange. In the center of the meadow was a huge oak〔橡树〕tree. The ground beneath it was lower than the surrounding ground. Daniel knew that pirates (海盗)had once sailed in the waters around the island. The next day Daniel returned to the island with shovels〔铲子〕and two friends. The boys began digging and soon discovered a layer of stones. Under the stones was a hole about four meters wide. It was filled with loose dirt. The boys kept digging for several days. Three meters below the ground their shovels hit an oak floor. They kept digging.But when they discovered another oak floor nine meters below the ground, they decided that they couldn’t dig any deeper.Eight years later, Daniel McGinnis returned with a group of men to continue digging beneath the oak tree. One evening, 30 meters below the ground, their shovels hit a large wooden box. The box had to be a treasure chest (大箱子)！The men went home to rest until daylight. When they returned in the morning, there was an unpleasant surprise—the hole had fi lled with water. The men couldn’t remove the water.During the following 200 years, dozens of search groups have dug in the hole, but each group only made the hole bigger. The hole that was once four meter wide is now enormous. The oak tree is now gone. Where is the hole that Daniel McGinnis found?

The best title for the passage is .A) Legend(传奇)of Daniel McGinnisB) Mystery of the Hidden TreasureC) Discovery of the Hidden TreasureD) Explorer of the Mysterious IslandII. Directions: Read the following passages, and then fill in the blanks with the missing information.Passage 3The song “Happy Birthday to You〞is sung all over the world just before the birthday boy or girl blows out the candles on the cake. It is so simple that children as young as three can sing it. The song, with its original 〔最初的〕title “Good Morning to You〞, was written in 1893 by the two sisters, Mildred and Patty Smith Hill. They were the daughters of a progressive Kentucky couple, who believed in female education at a time—the mid-nineteenth century—when it was still a novel idea and who trained their two daughters to be schoolteachers. They were long involved in elementary education, and Patty, in particular. She achieved a lot as a pioneer in kindergarten education, and for several decades a major spokesman for preschool education. She taught at Columbia University’s Teachers College from 1905 to 1935, and at her retirement became one of the first women to be named an honorary (荣誉的)professor by Columbia.A birthday cake with burning candles is also an important part at one’s birthday party. It may derive, distantly from the ancient Greek practice of offering to Artemis, goddess of the hunt and of the moon, a round honey cake into which a candle was stuck. After German bakers invented the modern birthday cake in the Middle Ages, a similar custom was adopted fro the advocate 〔提倡〕of good spirits at birthdays. The cake, ready by morning, would be surrounded by burning candles, in a kind of protective fire circle, and they would be kept lit all day, until dessert time at the evening meal.(Words: 262)1. The passage is about .2. In the mid-nineteenth century was still a new idea.3. Patty made great achievement in .4. The cake today may e from.5. The candles on a birthday cake were kept burning from morning.Passage 4Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise 〔天堂〕where the sun always shines. Life there is simple and good. Ripe fruits fall from the trees and you never have to work. The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desert island is wretched. You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, waiting for a boatwhich never es. Perhaps there is an element of truth in both pictures, but few of us would ever have the opportunity to find out.Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly loaded a small rubber dinghy 〔船上附属的小船〕with food, matches, and cans of beer and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove to be a problem. The men collected rain-water in the rubber dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. They caught lobster and fish every day, and, as one of them put it “ate like kings〞. When a passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave.(Words 258 ) 1.The two pictures of life on a deserted island people tend to have are:.2. Neither of the two opposite pictures of life on a desert island .3. The two men made the journey to Miami to .4. Water was no problem for the two men on the island because.5. The two men were sorry to leave the island because. III. Directions: Read the following passages, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).Passage 5When someone who is in good health dies suddenly, there is usually an inquest.An inquest is a kind of court inquiry. The person in charge of an inquest is called a coroner. His job is to find out exactly how a person died.If there is nothing suspicious(可疑的)about the death, he would decide that the person died from natural causes or an accident. If, however, he is suspicious, he may decide that the person’s death was caused by a person or persons unknown.At one inquest, the coroner was trying to find out exactly what had caused the death of a local businessman, Henry Smith.The man’s widow was offering the evidence. She was very upset and had to stop from time to time.The coroner did not want to upset her more than necessary, but he had to find out the truth. There were questions he had to ask her.“Mrs. Smith, I know this is too much for you,〞he said, “but I want you to think very carefully and then answer my questions.〞“You and your husband were having dinner at home. Is that correct?〞“Yes.〞“Suddenly he fell to the floor.〞“Yes.〞“Did he say anything?〞The widow lowered her head.“Please, Mrs. Smith, you must answer the question. What were his last words?〞The widow took a deep breath and then spoke. “He said,〞he whisper ed, “I’m not surprised you were charged only 50 cents for that seafood we had for dinner.〞(Words: 249) ( ) 1.

The pany would also pay a sum equal to five percent.When an employee retire 〔退休〕from the pany, he could take with him all the money that he and the pany had put into his pension fund.“I will open the pension fund〞, the president of th e pany said, “as soon as you all agree to join. Unless you all join, I won’t open the fund. You’ve got a week to make up your minds.〞The idea was very a good one and everyone except Joe Bloggs agreed to join.“I don’t understand it,〞Bloggs said.His co-workers tried to explain it to him, but he just kept saying, “I still don’t understand it.〞Time passed and there was only an hour left until the week was up.The president sent for Joe Bloggs to e to his office on the 20th floor.“Mr. Bloggs,〞he said, “a ll the employees agree with what I am going to say to you, so listen carefully.〞“It had better be good,〞Bloggs said.“Oh, it is,〞the president said. “If you don’t agree to join the pension fund before I finish counting to ten, the security guards will throw you out of the window.〞Joe Bloggs immediately signed the form which said he would agree to join the plan. “Now that you have explained it clearly,〞he said, “of course I’ll join.〞(Words: 274) ( ) 1.

Directions: Read the following passages, and then fill in the blanks with the missing information.Passage 3Imagine a classrom missing the one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing: paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. And there are no pencils or pens, which, after all, always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.A “paperless classroom”is what more and more schools are trying to achieve. Students don‟t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm-sized (手掌大小的，掌上的), or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads（下载）texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student‟s personal computer.Having computers also means that students can search the Web. They can look up information on any subject they‟re studying, from math to social science.And exams can go oneline, too. At a school in Tennessee, U.S.A., students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them into his or her own electronic grade book.A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste fo paper. The school teacher, Stephanie Sorrell in Kentuky, U.S.A., said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to the students. “Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,” she said.But, with all this technology, there‟s always the risk that the machines will break down.

And how do they know I have a letter to post?At last he came to a post office, posted the letter, and walked on.

Unit 1Why I Love the City我的许多朋友都离开了这座城市。
它们是在郊区买房子,因为他们想要远离城市的喧嚣、烟雾、交通、和犯罪的城市。
一个朋友说,“有太多的空气污染的城市。
我更喜欢郊区,那里的空气是那么清新。

Unit 41.Directions: Read the following passages, and then select the best choice for each ofthe questions or incomplete statements.Passage 1There are stock markets in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell the shares of a factory of company. And each share means part ownership of a factory or company.Different people go to the stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing （投资）money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling (赌博). All are eager to make money by “gambling” in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to “gamble.” Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.(Words: 244)1. The following people go to the stock market EXPCEPT those whoA) want to become richerB) want to get rid of povertyC) want to save moneyD) want to find jobs2. Which of the following statements is true?A) A good investor can affect the change in stock prices.B) A good investor can tell exactly when the stock goes up or down.C) A good investor will sometimes lose money.D) A good investor knows how to choose a company which does a good job.3. In the passage the writer .A) encourage people to go to the stock marketB) assures people that buying stock is a good investmentC) warns people to be careful in buying stocksD) explains how stock goes up when factories or companies run well4. The word “ complex” in the last sentence probably means .A) completeB) strangeC) difficultD) modern5. The passage mainly tells us aboutA) the ABCs of stock marketsB) gambling in stock marketsC) how to make money in stock marketsD) how to buy or sell shares in stock marketsPassage 2She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.“The thin, wooden pan el on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago.” The museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their present chemical state.Nearly six million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then yo u look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision （视觉）is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.(Words: 247)1.In the first paragraph, “catching up with” meansA)coming up with behindB)having effect onC)making up forD)getting along with2.It is difficult to repair this painting due to itsA)painting materialsB)wooden panelC)long historyD)good name3.Mona Lisa is smiling you lookA)at herB)from the corners of your eyesC)into the shadowsD)for details4.Para. 4 is mainly aboutA)the history of the Mona LisaB)the condition of the Mona LisaC)the secret of Mona Lisa’s smileD)the secret of Mona Lisa’s beauty5.During World War II the famous painting was inA)ItalyB)FranceC)BritainD)GermanyII. Directions:Read the following passages, and then fill in the blanks with the missing information.Passage 3Body language is one of the best ways to find out what is really going on inside someone’s head.A small movement of the mouth or nose, or a wink of the eye—these actions can say much more about a person’s feeling than anything they say to you.But you need to be very experienced to fully understand what you see. Here are some basic movements made by Westerners and explanations of what they mean to get you started.Pat （轻拍）/rub(摩擦)one’s stomach. If someone rubs his or her stomach, he is not feeling sick. It is the opposite—he is hungry.Shrug（耸）one’s shoulders. This means “I don’t know” or “I am not bothered.” If your friend shrugs his or her shoulders when invited to a party, it shows he or she is not very interested in going along to it.Keep one’s fingers crossed. It is a gesture to wish for good luck. Before people take exams, they often cross their fingers in the hope of getting good grades. Football fans do the same thing when their favorite team gets an advantage from a penalty(点球)—they wish the players will score a goal.Rub one’s chin. If someone rubs his or her chin, it often means he or she doesn’t believe what someone else is saying! So if your friend makes this gesture, it secretly tells you what he or she feels.Scratch (挠)one’s head. If your foreign English teacher scratches his or her head when you ask a question, then he or she is confused and might not have understood what you have said. Either that, or he or she can’t remember your name!(Words: 277)1. We can know more about a person’s feelings by .2. When a Westerner rubs his or her stomach, it means .3. When taking exams, Westerners may cross their fingers to .4. If your friends rub their chin, it may mean that .5. “To scratch one’s head” suggests the person doesn’t understand your words or.Passage 4If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then stalk off without paying your fare. And the driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dinning rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guest, but also cater to outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to wine and dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages.” But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would invariably come back to pay their fare after they have attended their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. as the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, so to live in such a society has turned ev eryone into real “gentlemen”.(Words: 311)1. While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first .2. In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if.3. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland.4. Workers in Finland just need to tell their employersto get their pay.5. The passage leads us to believing that Finland is a society of.III. Directions: Read the following passages, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F)Passage 5“Fire! Fire!” What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.I began to run. But as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around.I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet was caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I fell to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a flaming doorway in front, and I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet were burning terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry. I nearly dropped it in surprise. Then is saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.“My baby! My baby!” she cried. The crowed cheered wildly as she took the smoke-blackened bundle out of my arms. I had saved her baby. I was a hero!(Words: 277)( ) 1. I was on the top floor of a small house when the fire broke out.( ) 2. The thick smoke made me run in the wrong direction.( ) 3. I fell to the floor below because the floor under me was burned.( ) 4. I was trying to save myself but I actually also saved my next door ne ighbor’s baby.( ) 5. It can be learned from the passage that I became a hero by chance.Passage 6It seems you always forget—your reading glasses when you are rushing to work, your coat when you are going to the cleaners, your credit card when you are shopping. Such absent-mindedness may be frustrating to you. Now British and German scientists are developing memory glasses that record everything the user sees. The glasses can play back memories later to help the wearer remember things they have forgotten such as where they left their keys. And the glasses also allow the user to “label(贴标签于，标注)” items so information can be used later on.The wearer could walk around an office or a factory identifying certain items by pointing at them. Objects indicated( 指出)are then given a blank label on a screen inside the glasses that the user then fills in.It could be used in industrial plants by mechanics looking to identify machine parts or by electricians writing a complicated device. A spokesman for the project said: “A car mechanic, for example, could find at a glance where a part on a certain car model is wrong so that it can be identified and repaired.” For the motorist, the system can highlight(使显著)dangers on the road.In other cases, the glasses can be worn by people going on a guided tour, indicating points of interest; or they can be worn by people looking at panoramas where all the sites can be identified.(Words: 231) ( ) 1. An absent-minded person is easy to forget.( ) 2. Memory glasses can remind users of what they have forgotten.( ) 3. If you are wearing the memory glasses, it means you have a bad memory. ( ) 4. Para. 4 talks about the problem-finding use of memory glasses.( ) 5. By wearing memory glasses, people will find places of interest more easily.KeyUnit 4Passage 1D C C C A Passage 2B A BC B Passage 31. observing his or her body language2. he or she is hungry3. wish for good grades4. they doubt what you are saying5. has forgotten your namePassage 41.paying your fare2.you are living in the hotel3.provide meals to any diners4.how many hours they have worked5.high moral levelPassage 5F F T F T Passage 6F T F T T。

Unit 9I. Directions: Read the following passages, and then select the best choice for each of thequestions or incomplete statements.Passage 1College is a big deal for American students as well as for Chinese students. During the college application, some parents become extremely worded. This only adds to the pressure.Before I applied to the colleges, I told my parents I would get everything straightened out. If I needed any help, I promised that I would ask them.As it turned out, I had no problem putting everything together on my own, including my resume (履历) and a basic outline of my activities in high school. The only part where I asked for my parents' advice was the essays. In writing and revising the essays, I needed feedback (反馈) from an audience. As my parents know me better than anyone, they were perfect for the job.The essays are extremely important in college admissions. In a competitive pool of applicants, the test scores and activities, as well as the recommendations (推荐信) are all going to be very similar. The essays are the one area in which students can make themselves stand out. Essays don't have to be big and complicated. I wrote three essays, all focusing on small matters and using simple sentences. The admissions officers have to read hundreds of essays a day; they are already tired of SAT vocabularies and long sentences. Therefore, a straightforward writing style is refreshing (清新的) to their eyes as well as their minds. Essays were the key to my success in the admission game. I just wrote about what I wanted to say, not what I thought the admissions officers would like to hear.In my main narrative-style essay, I told the story of my American journey at the age of 14. During that time, I was not bogged down (陷入) by trying to fit into a new environment; instead, I looked up to Mother Teresa for guidance and strength. I found my new self and grew to love the name Teresa and the memories it held.In my two minor essays, I explained the major events of my life, why I loved writing and why my dad is the person who has the greatest influence on me. Both provided details of my character. The essay about writing, which is titled, "I Shall Not Live in Vain" (inspired by an Emily Dickinson poem), earned a lot of praise.It is because I really looked into my heart and thought deeply in order to reach my answers.(Words: 397)1. I asked my parents for advice about my essays because __________.A) they are more experiencedB) they know me perfectly wellC) they are the only people I can rely onD) they are extremely worried about my application2. In order to impress the admissions officers, the applicants should write their essays __________.A) with a big vocabulary worthyB) with simple sentencesC) about small mattersD) in a straightforward style3. What helped the writer gain admission to his/her university of choice?A) High scores.B) Good recommendations.C) Good essays.D) Interesting stories.4. According to the passage, _ ______ has the greatest influence on the writer.A) Mother TeresaB) his or her fatherC) Emily DickinsonD) admissions officers5. The passage is mainly about __________.A) the writer's experience in college admissionsB) the importance of college education for studentsC) how parents' worries add to students' pressureD) the importance of essays in college admissionsPassage 2Something that has never made sense to me is why we care so much about what goes on in the lives of celebrities (名人).I understand why we enjoy them; they are usually talented and they perform for us. Through their lives, we can live vicariously (代替地). We get a few hours of entertainment and an escape from whatever is in our minds, and they get their millions of dollars. It's a living.And the better they are at what they do, the more we appreciate them. Eventually, we place them so high on a platform that we forget that, when you take away the make-up and the spotlight (聚光灯) they are really no different from any regular person on the street.Actually, we don't forget. We just won't let ourselves realize that they are just like us. We create the role models, and they had better be worth it. We can't and don't consider our next-door neighbor as a role model, even though he keeps his flower garden pretty tidy.Because celebrities are on such a high platform, we think they are above the trivia (琐事) of human existence. Going to the shops or the movies just doesn't exist in their lifestyles. And activities that would seem normal in our lives are instead highlighted (突出，强调), like going on a diet. And if it works, that diet program becomes the hot new thing for everyone. If it doesn't, that particular celebrity's career falls a little.Maybe if you're really popular, the news of you and your new boyfriend or girlfriend will be around school in a week. When you're a celebrity, the whole world knows it within a couple of days, and your parents find out from a magazine or a newspaper, rather than from you.It should not make us feel better to know if Tom Cruise broke up with Nicole Kidman or vice versa (反之亦然). What does it matter? What should make us feel better is paying more attention to what's going on down here on Earth, around us, not on Planet Hollywood.(Words: 339)1. The writer does not understand __________.A) why people care so much about celebritiesB) why people like celebrities so muchC) why people care so much about the lives of celebritiesD) why celebrities should get their millions of dollars2. According to the writer, celebrities are basically __________.A) perfect men and womenB) role modelsC) heroesD) common people3. “Going on a diet” (Para. 5) is used as an example to show __________.A) people indeed pay close attention to celebritiesB) movie stars like going on a diet to keep figureC) even a trivial thing may turn to something unusual when happening to a celebrityD) when a celebrity goes on a diet, people tend to follow him or her4. According to the writer, if you were a celebrity, __________.A) your boyfriend or girlfriend would soon be as popular as youB) news of you would soon be spread across schoolsC) news of you would soon be found anywhereD) you would become famous in a week5. We can learn that the writer wants us __________.A) to be realistic about celebritiesB) to do what the celebrities doC) to respect the celebrities' privacyD) to pay more attention to Hollywood starsII. Directions: Read the following passages, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).Passage 3Not all thieves lurk (埋伏) in dark alleys and parks. Some sit with their faces lit by the glow of their computer monitors, copying, pasting, and printing.It may seem like just another helpful source of information, but the Internet has taken the theft of "intellectual property" to a new level. Part of the problem is that most students don't really know the exact definition of plagiarism (剽窃) or its consequences. Some say that using someone else's ideas without attributing (认为...... 属于) them is a form of theft, but most people don't think of it as a serious crime.For teachers, Internet plagiarism has been especially problematic compared to "theft" from other sources. This is because it is so difficult to locate the origin of Internet material. To counter student plagiarism, Internet services designed to detect copied material have emerged to aid teachers. One Internet company, , has developed a system for detecting material plagiarized from the Internet. Teachers can upload student works onto the site, which compares it for similarities to materials from all over the Web. The teachers receive an "originality (独创性) report" within a few days. To utilize this new technology, a few teachers at this high school are having students turn in their papers on disk as well as on paper."The threat of using these programs will stop a lot of students. They will be afraid they'll be caught. Unfortunately, fear is what works." English teacher Judy Grear said.English teacher Barbara Swovelin said, "With all the info that's on the Internet, it's understandable that we go to it to get information. It's understandable that people would use it as a resource. The legal and moral issues come in when students use it improperly."A main concern is not only the use of a few plagiarized sentences, but of entire papers. "Paper mills" can be readily found on the Internet, and they were in fact the motivation for and other similar sites.In addition to "cut and paste" plagiarism, most teachers agree that students must be wary of (留神) the theft of ideas. One plagiarism-detection program, Word Check, asserts in their Web site, "Whether you agree or disagree on how information should be used or reused in digital form, one thing is clear: protecting intellectual property from theft is the number one security issue."(Words: 384)( ) 1. This passage is mainly about how thieves steal by means of computers.( ) 2. More and more students are turning to the Internet to do plagiarism.( ) 3. Internet companies are providing services to help teachers detect plagiarism. ( ) 4. The theft of ideas is even worse than "cut and paste" plagiarism.( ) 5. According to the writer, there is no difference between stealing physical property and stealing intellectual property.Passage 4In the West, when you go to a restaurant, you choose what you want to eat; you do not choose a dish to share with others. Your food is brought to you on a plate, for you alone. As a guest, you may have the problem that the only thing you really fancy on the menu is much more expensive than everything else, so you wonder if you dare order it, as it feels greedy (贪婪的). But in general, guests order first, and typically, when you choose something less extravagant (奢侈的), your host will order what you had really wanted.But "ordering badly" is a bigger problem. Something can sound nice on the menu, but when it comes, you find that the combination of flavors is wrong, that in fact you do not like it, or that it is not what you expected. But it is yours, and you have to do your best to eat it. I have a friend in London who is guaranteed (保证) to order badly. In the 15 years that I have known her, only once after a meal in a restaurant has she said that she had really enjoyed her meal.In China, the question is not "What shall I have?" but rather, "What shall we have?" Food is ordered to share with others, not just for oneself. My friends here usually take my likes and dislikes into consideration when ordering, and I do the same for them. But if something is ordered which I don't like, it's not a problem because there are all the other dishes that I can enjoy. And if something extravagant is ordered, it is not just for one person to eat, but for all of us to share.(Words: 287)( ) 1.

Unit 1Alone in the Arctic Cold 一个人在北极严寒一天打碎了非常寒冷和灰色,当那个人偏离主要育空试验和爬上斜坡,在那里的是一个朦胧而过去向东穿过了踪迹松林之间。
坡率陡峭,而且他停顿了一下喘不过气来保持最佳的状态。
没有太阳和缕阳光,尽管他天空无云。
这是一个晴朗的日子,但在那里似乎是一个蒙上了一层水汽表面看来,把这天黑暗。
这个事实不担心那个人。
他被用来缺乏阳光。
那人回头而且他已经来了。
育空河打下英里宽藏起来了以下3英尺的冰。
这个世界上的冰一样多英尺的积雪。
这是连续的白色的,除了一个黑暗的发际线了痕迹,向南延伸达500英里去的库特关口。
但是,整个神秘,深远的发际线跟踪,没有太阳从天空,巨大的冷的,陌生和怪异的没有什么印象all-made上了的人。
他是新来的人在这地,这是他的第一个冬天。
他的问题他是缺乏想象力。
他很快和警惕在生活的一切,但只有在去吧,而不是在意义。
意思eighty-odd零下五十度学位霜。
这样的事实了冷漠,而且不舒服,就这些。
它并不带他去思考男人的一般是脆弱,能够只活在确定的限度窄的热量和冷。
零下五度代表点冰霜伤害必须提防,利用厚,暖和的衣服。
50度以下零是他就精确50度零度以下。
应该有其他东西了可那是一个思想,从来没有进过他的头上。
当他转身要走,他吐不确定。

他知道五十岁的唾沫在雪地上闪现下面,但这吐口唾沫空气中闪现了。
毫无疑问这个五十个更加寒冷below-how要冷得多了不知道。
但是温度还显得无关紧要。
他注定的老我的左边叉子汉德森的孩子们在小溪了。
他们来了在山上从印度人小河的国家,虽然他来拐弯抹角看一看的可能性走出木材来源于群岛的育空。

他陷入水中在大松树。
踪迹减弱了。
他很高兴他没有雪橇、旅游的光。
事实上,他带着什么都是用午餐手帕。
他很惊奇,然而,在寒冷。
当然很冷,他总结道,他又揉麻木,鼻子和颧骨和他"握"手。
Memories of Afghanistan 阿富汗的记忆Afghanistan-a国家一场人道主义灾难的边缘的土地,充满了逃离难民,饥饿的人,turbaned恐怖分子在训练营。
电视画面告诉一个国家的故事破坏和贫穷的国家,几乎完全摧毁了二十年的战争和斗争。
然而once-though poor-this真是一个值得骄傲的那国,并有美丽的国家,还能存活下来,许多世纪的严酷的历史。
不要太长前,它还是一个国家在和平,有丰富的文化遗产…除了欧洲国家,很少有国家在这个世界上,从来没有在殖民rule-or至少从不在最近的几次,:阿富汗是其中之一。
许多几个世纪以前,成吉思汗的那军队策马撞倒从蒙古、无情地杀死了阿富汗的部落山敢于抵抗侵略者;但除此之外羞辱时期Afghans-who,在时间,其实是一种混合的三个独立的民族groups-have把头抬得高高的面对的入侵。
现在在这个国家曾是世界的中心的注意是曾经是世界上的最引以为傲的国家,国家,其它国家入侵在自身的危险。
在19世纪大英帝国的军队知道阿富汗不是一个国家干预的。
共二十年前,1881年,英国士兵被然而驻阿富汗首都喀布尔。
他们在这里有两点原因,首先要阻止俄罗斯人侵入全国各地,其次为保证方程有一个独立的缓冲-俄罗斯帝国的状态与向北,在印度和大英帝国(现代巴基斯坦)至东南亚。
维多利亚女王都愿意加入阿富汗到她的帝国,但她的士兵永远不会成功地这个使命,虽然他们试着,但失败了。
在1879年,整个英国的使命在喀布尔人员,包括侍者,是由一群屠杀了叛军阿富汗士兵,雷霆,因为他们而尚未支付被他们自己的国王,穆罕默德Yacoub。
Yacoub是友好的英国,所以英国得到的指责。
喀布尔的故事大屠杀是记得长期受到英国在印度,并记录由几个维多利亚女王时代的作家和诗人。
其他血腥事件之间的关系也标志着英国和阿富汗人在19世纪。
1842年,在其声名狼藉觉得之战通过,一套完整的英军他们是由阿富汗屠杀了短回来袭击进入这个国家。
只是一个人,医生,设法生存大屠杀发生,使他的方式回到印度,安全讲述故事的这一可怕的事件。
尽管这个世界已经发生了很大的改变,阿富汗当局自维多利亚时代以来,没有什么改变。
在许多方面,塔利班甚至把国家回到过去,一个黑暗时代的无知,偏狭和压抑,但是,即使没有塔利班,阿富汗仍然,今天世界上最不发达的国家。
Land-locked,除了最现代化的路线沟通、的,长了霉了强大的兴都库什山脉和深受广大沙漠,阿富汗,象“部落领土”,都始终巴基斯坦西北的加剧独立于外界干扰,大力在它的传统方式。
在过去的25年中,阿富汗人民饱受战争和摧毁:推翻帝制,然后入侵苏联在1978年,那么这场战争对苏联,然后争取控制的塔利班和国家之间一般的支持者萨尼,现在大量离开的边缘在饥饿、赶出自己的家园一样,被害怕塔利班的威胁的军事入侵。
虽有这一切的事,尽管很大一部分的破坏他们的国家阿富汗人仍然友善、好客。
年长的阿富汗人回忆过去,当他们生活在平静和相对安全;年轻的阿富汗人,他从来不知道和平的时代期待着有一天,和平的新时代来。
真希望那崭新的黎明太遥远。
The Conquest of Mt. Jolmo Lungma 征服Jolmo Lungma峰那是11:30营业。
我的第一感觉是relief-relief,长时间的攀登在峰会,已经具备在我们的氧气供应已经降到了一个至关重要的水平;、救济,到后来,这座山被客气的对我们来说有一个因其峰会锥圆形愉快而不是可怕而无与伦比的陡峭的悬崖上。
但和莫名的赈灾是展现出惊愕的表情,我应该的幸运达到最大的心愿,那么多勇敢的和坚定的人。
似乎难懂掌握,我们已经到了。
我太累了,太意识很长的一段路下来,获得了安全真的感觉到有什么巨大的乐趣。
但这一事实我们的成功的推力本身更清楚我的心思,我觉得一个安静的辉光满足感传遍我的身体-满意,能力比我更大所感到得之前在山顶上。
我转身看着我的向导,登。
即使掩藏在氧气罩和冰柱悬在他头发,我可以看见他的传染病是喜悦的微笑。
但这不够登,他把他的,不由自主地搂着我的肩膀和协助对方的背部在相互的祝贺。
但我们没有时间可以浪费了。
首先我必须拍一些照片,而且我们也快下楼来。
我关掉了我生命的氧气,把出发我的背上。
我记得警告我可能致命的后果,但出于某种原因,感到很有信心没什么严重的结果。
我拿出照相机到我的口袋里的夹克笨拙地打开它和我的厚手套的手。
我夹在遮光罩和紫外线过滤,然后们沿着山脊一点,以便我可以买得到峰会进我的取景器。
登已经耐心地等待着,但现在,在我的请求下,他展开了旗帜缠在了他的ice-axe站在山顶使他们保持在他的头上。
穿衣在他笨重设备和有小旗在风中扑疯狂,他做了一个戏剧性的图片,和思想中漂流这张照片我认为应该是一个好如果就出来了。
我不知道,他从来没有采取了相片前面珠峰的顶峰的地方几乎没有给他了。
我爬上了上了,开始抢一个摄影记录每个方向。
天气还非常好。
从我们的观点我能看到所有的北部山坡上了山,顿时可行的路线的可能性它的首脑会议。
不断增长的兴奋的感觉,我把学习另一张照片休闲回到文明。
几乎在我们的脚下,似乎就是着名的天津北方西冰川,在如此多的史诗的行为的勇气和耐力进行了必要的更早英国考察活动。
这是一个清醒地想要记住这些男人有多久了9,000m没有好处我们的现代化的设备,合理有效的氧气套。
不可避免地我的思想转向马罗礼与欧文,谁已失去了他们的生命30年前就山。
Buzz-bombs and Doodlebugs Buzz-bombs和Doodlebugs 我有一种自己还是高中生在1944年15。
我没有在伦敦的在猛烈空袭期间,1940-41,但我回到家在伦敦南部1942年的今天,在那儿上学。
它必须是想起了将近3年,从1941年至1944年,那时几乎没有什么轰炸所有的人。
然后在1944年2月发射德国成为了所谓的“小闪电战”。
这了几天,而在它一点都不像大规模的轰炸1940-41,还巨大的盎格鲁血统的美国人少空袭就被针对德国。
1944年6月份的一次飞行炸弹落在伦敦,他们常常被称为“buzz-bombs”或“doodlebugs”。
目前尚不清楚他们在第一,正如显然他们没有下降从一架飞机。
然后它是了解到他们是有效推进的无人驾驶飞机,当他们到达其最大范围坠毁中他们爆炸性的负荷。
起初只有一两跌倒了,但很快就变得越来越明显,一个好的轰炸在进行中。
最值得注意的方面是他们的声音doodlebugs,实在很不一样的普通飞机,它有一种奇特的声音,守护的眼泪及更像一个摩托车。
很快就获得了恶躁和不安的质量,促使“反应。
如果当电机削减武器正在来临,然后它是有可能把附近的试着去庇护;如果它继续其飞行中,一个人可以放心:别人将受害者。
伦敦南部在他们的正常航班的道路,也有许多人仆倒在附近,造成的伤害及生命的损失。
我们的房子遭受了碎玻璃和天花板下来但伤势并不严重。
有一个特别恶劣事件1944年7月28日当飞行炸弹倒落在重要购物中心的Lewisham,它的空袭了住所,造成51人死亡,很多伤亡。
那时我在大街上有25英里外,是有意识的所有的附近的干扰;我记得最清楚地看到血迹人行道上。
回想一下,我是被很平静的讨论其他球队在那个年龄的对这一切。
在1944年8月我去留一个叔叔住在附近的村庄在肯特郡坎特伯雷。
这是的方式飞行炸弹从某种意义上讲,因为他们是针对伦敦。
但他们经常通过治理的村庄坐落也就是在所谓Doodlebug最拿手的。
有时他们还会落在附近的领域,要么是因为他们没有达到,或被击落的战士。
英国皇家空军了第一喷气式战斗机使用尝试捉到他们,因为他们远远超过piston-engined战士。
他们将坐飞机在他们的飞翼,然后把他们田野里无害的下面。
我记得有坐在北方与我的堂弟和他的女友,看见这有战士追逐doodlebug。
它撞远处,这是一场令人兴奋的的景象,要么击落或偷了过程追赶的飞机。
他们中的一些人没有爆炸,其中一个被展出坎特伯雷一家礼品店里。
毫无疑问,这事一场巨大的破坏在伦敦的空间内几个星期。
多国部队在网站的发展在法国北部发射比利时、有担心,自己也不能及时赶到那里阻止更多的伤害和人员伤亡。
不久,然而,他们被更多的可怕的V2武器。
这些都是火箭得当,大得多,且更具有破坏性,没有通知到达时,所有的他们继续落在伦敦期间的最后一个冬天的间隔的战争,1944-45。
