U N I T8Language sense enhancementThere was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings. The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, with fields of grain and hillsides or orchards where, in spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of colour that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. Then foxes barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidden in the mists of the autumn mornings.1)Don’t get scared. A barking dog does not bite.2)The cover story repeats the shopworn(陈旧的)criticism that Microsoft is evil because its second-rate software crushes better programs.3)Our hen is still brooding and no chicken has been hatched yet.4)Much of the harvesting on this farm is done by migrant workers, who came across the border to make a living in southern California.5)”Hamlet” is one of Shakespeare’s great tragedies.6)As an interpreter, Mr. Wang was present at the negotiation between our foreign minister and his American counterpart, the US Secretary of state.7)He tired to drive home to us that we should listen when the people are complaining.8)The financial crisis is affecting industrial production and we need to wake up to the grim reality.9)On warm days flocks of birds came to the bushes by the roadside and fed on the berries.10)These days, “green” roofs, that is, roofs covered with green vegetation, are becoming fashionable in this city.11)With dark brown patches on her face, she looked older than her age.12)Scores of visitors come here each day to search for ancient coins.
