TextJim Thorpe, an American Indian, is generally accepted as the greatest all-round athlete of the first half of the 20th century. Yet the man, who brought glory to his nation, had a heartbreaking life. What caused his sadness and poverty?JIM THORPESteve GelmanThe railroad station was jammed. Students from Lafayette College were crowding onto the train platform eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Carlisle Indian school's track and field squad. No one would have believed it a few months earlier. A school that nobody had heard of was suddenly beating big, famous colleges in track meets. Surely these Carlisle athletes would come charging off the train, one after another, like a Marine battalion.The train finally arrived and two young men — one big and broad, the other small and slight — stepped onto the platform."Where's the track team?" a Lafayette student asked."This is the team," replied the big fellow."Just the two of you?""Nope, just me," said the big fellow. "This little guy is the manager."The Lafayette students shook their heads in wonder. Somebody must be playing a joke on them. If this big fellow was the whole Carlisle track team, he would be competing against anentire Lafayette squad.He did. He ran sprints, he ran hurdles, he ran distance races. He high-jumped, he broad-jumped. He threw the javelin and the shot. Finishing first in eight events, the big fellow beat the whole Lafayette team.The big fellow was Jim Thorpe, the greatest American athlete of modern times. He was born on May 28,1888, in a two-room farmhouse near Prague, Oklahoma. His parents were members of the Sac and Fox Indian tribe and he was a direct descendant of the famous warrior chief, Black Hawk.As a Sac and Fox, Jim had the colorful Indian name Wa-Tho-Huck. Which, translated, means Bright Path. But being born an Indian, his path was not so bright. Although he had the opportunity to hunt and fish with great Indian outdoorsmen, he was denied opportunity in other ways. The United States government controlled the lives of American Indians and, unlike other people, Indians did not automatically become citizens. It was almost impossible for an Indian to gain even a fair education and extremely difficult, as a result, for an Indian to rise high in life.Young Bright Path seemed destined to spend his life in the Oklahoma farmland. But when he was in his teens, the government gave him the chance to attend the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania. Soon Carlisle was racing along its own bright path to athletic prominence. In whatever sport Jim Thorpe played, he excelled, He was a star in baseball, track and field, wrestling, lacrosse, basketball and football. He was so good in football, in fact, that most other small schools refused to play Carlisle. The Indian school's football schedule soon listed such major powers of the early twentieth century as Pittsburgh,Harvard, Pennsylvania, Penn State and Army.Thorpe was a halfback. He was six feet one inch tall, weighed 185 pounds and had incredible speed and power. He built upon these natural gifts daily. He would watch a coach or player demonstrate a difficult maneuver, then he would try it himself. Inevitably, he would master the maneuver within minutes.During every game, opponents piled on Thorpe, trampled him, kicked him and punched him, trying to put him out of action. They were never successful. Years later someone asked him if he had ever been hurt on the field. "Hurt?" Thorpe said. "How could anyone get hurt playing football?"But Jim never played his best when he felt he would have to no fun playing. "What's the fun of playing in the rain?" he once said. And his Carlisle coach, Pop Warner, once said, "There's no doubt that Jim had more talent than anybody who ever played football, but you could never tell when he felt like giving his best."Football, though, did not provide Thorpe with his finest hour. He was selected for the United States Olympic track team in 1912, and went to Sweden with the team for the Games. On the ship, while the other athletes limbered up, Thorpe slept in his bunk. In Sweden, while other athletes trained, Thorpe relaxed in a hammock. He never strained when he didn't feel it necessary.Thorpe came out of his hammock when the Games began, to take part in the two most demanding Olympic events. He entered the pentathlon competition, a test of skill in five events: 200-meter run, 1500-meter run, broad jump, discus and javelin; and the decathlon competition, a series of ten events: 100-meter run, 400-meter run, 1500-meter run, high hurdles, broad jump, high jump, pole vault, discus, javelin and shot put. Though most athletes were utterly exhausted by the decathlon alone, Thorpebreezed through both events, his dark hair flopping, his smile flashing, his muscled body gliding along the track. He finished first in both the pentathlon and decathlon, one of the great feats in Olympic history."You sir," King Gustav V of Sweden told Thorpe as he presented him with two gold medals, "are the greatest athlete in the world." And William Howard Taft, the President of the United States, said, "Jim Thorpe is the highest type of citizen."King Gustav V was correct, but President Taft was not. Though Jim Thorpe had brought great glory to his nation, though thousands of people cheered him upon his return to the United States and attended banquets and a New York parade in his honor, he was not a citizen. He did not become one until 1916. Even then, it took a special government ruling because he was an Indian.Jim Thorpe was a hero after the Olympics and a sad, bewildered man not too much later. Someone discovered that two years before the Olympics he had been paid a few dollars to play semiprofessional baseball. Though many amateur athletes had played for pay under false names, Thorpe had used his own name. As a result, he was not technically an amateur when he competed at Stockholm as all Olympic athletes must be. His Olympic medals and trophies were taken away from him and given to the runners-up.After this heartbreaking experience, Thorpe turned to professional sports. He played major league baseball for six years and did fairly well. Then he played professional football for six years with spectacular success. His last professional football season was in 1926. After that, his youthful indifference to studies and his unwillingness to think of a nonsports career caught upwith him. He had trouble finding a job, and his friends deserted him. He periodically asked for, but never was given back, his Olympic prizes. From 1926 until his death in 1953, he lived a poor, lonely, unhappy life.But in 1950 the Associated Press held a poll to determine the outstanding athlete of the half-century. Despite his loss of the Olympic gold medals and a sad decline in fortune during his later years, Thorpe was almost unanimously chosen the greatest athlete of modern times.New Wordsjamv. fill or block up (the way) by crowding; (cause to ) be packed, pressed, or crushed tightly into a small space 堵塞;(使)塞满platformn. a raised flat surface built along the side of the track at a railway station for travellers getting on or off a train 月台awaitvt. wait for; look forward totrackn. a course for running or racing; track-and-field sports, esp. those performed on a running track 跑道;径赛运动;田径运动fieldn. an area, esp. circled by a track where contests such as in jumping or throwing are held; the sports contested in this area 田赛场地;田赛运动squadn. a small group of persons working, training, or acting together; the smallest military unit, usually made up of eleven men and a squad leader 小队;班chargevi rush in or as if in an attack 向前冲;冲锋Marinen. a member of the U.S. Marine Corps (美国)海军陆战队士兵或军官battalionn. military unit made up of several companies 营broada. wide, large across 宽的，广阔的nopead.

21世纪大学英语教程(第四册)Unit1课文原文
21世纪大学英语读写教程（第四册）Unit1课文原文《Who Is Great?》Michal Ryan As a young boy, Albert Einstein did so poorly in school that teachers thought he was slow. The young Napoleon Bonaparte was just one of hundreds of artillery lieutenants in the French Army. And the teenage George Washington, with little formal education, was being trained not as a soldier but as a land surveyor.Despite their unspectacular beginnings, each would go on to carve a place for himself in history. What was it that enabled them to become great? Were they born with something special? Or did their greatness have more to do with timing, devotion and, perhaps, an uncompromising personality?For decades, scientists have been asking such questions. And, in the past few years, they have found evidence to help explain why some people rise above, while others—similarly talented, perhaps—are left behind. Their findings could have implications for us all.Who is great? Defining who is great depends on how one measures success. But there are some criteria. "Someone who has made a lasting contribution to human civilization is great," said Dean Keith Simonton, a professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis and author of the 1994 book Greatness: Who Makes History and Why. But he added a word of caution: "Sometimes great people don't make it into the history books. A lot of women achieved great things or were influential but went unrecognized."In writing his book, Simonton combined historical knowledge about great figures with recent findings in genetics, psychiatry and the social sciences. The great figures he focused on include men and women who have won Nobel Prizes, led great nations or won wars, composed symphonies that have endured for centuries, or revolutionized science, philosophy, politics or the arts. Though he doesn't have a formula to define how or why certain people rise above (too many factors are involved), he has come up with a few common characteristics.A "never surrender" attitude. If great achievers share anything, said Simonton, it is an unrelenting drive to succeed. "There's a tendency to think that they are endowed with something super-normal," he explained. "But what comes out of the research is that there are great people who have no amazing intellectual processes. It's a difference in degree. Greatness is built upon tremendous amounts of study, practice and devotion."He cited Winston Churchill, Britain's prime minister during World War II, as an example of a risk-taker who would never give up. Thrust into office when his country's morale was at its lowest, Churchill rose brilliantly to lead the British people. In a speech following the Allied evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940, he inspired the nation when he said, "We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end...We shall never surrender."Can you be born great? In looking at Churchill's role in history—as well as the roles of other political and military leaders—Simonton discovered a striking pattern: "Firstborns and only children tend to make good leaders in time of crisis: They're used to taking charge. But middle-borns are better as peacetime leaders: They listen to different interest groups better and make the necessary compromises. Churchill, an only child, was typical. He was great in a crisis, but in peacetime he was not effective—not even popular."Timing is another factor. "If you took George Washington and put him in the 20th century he would go nowhere as a politician," Simonton declared. "He was not an effective public speaker, and he didn't like shaking hands with the public. On the other hand, I'm not sure Franklin Roosevelt would have done well in Washington's time. He wouldn't have had the radio to do his fireside chats."Can you be too smart? One surprise among Simonton's findings is that many political and military leaders have been bright but not overly so. Beyond a certain point, he explained, other factors, like the ability to communicate effectively, become more important than innate intelligence as measured by an IQ test. The most intelligent U.S. Presidents, for example—Thomas Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson and John F. Kennedy—had a hard time getting elected, Simonton said, while others with IQs closer to the average (such as Warren G. Harding) won by landslides. While political and economic factors also are involved, having a genius IQ is not necessary to be a great leader.In the sciences, those with "genius level" IQs do have a better chance at achieving recognition, added Simonton. Yet evidence also indicates that overcoming traditional ways of thinking may be just as important.He pointed to one recent study where college students were given a set of data and were asked to see if they could come up with a mathematical relation. Almost a third did. What they did not know was that they had just solved one of the most famous scientific equations in history: the Third Law of Planetary Motion, an equation that Johannes Kepler came up with in 1618.Kepler's genius, Simonton said, was not so much in solving a mathematical challenge. It was in thinking about the numbers in a unique way—applying his mathematical knowledge to his observations of planetary motion. It was his boldness that set him apart.Love your work. As a child, Einstein became fascinated with the way magnets are drawn to metal. "He couldn't stop thinking about this stuff," Simonton pointed out. "He became obsessed with problems in physics by the time he was 16, and he never stopped working on them. It's not surprising that he made major contributions by the time he was 26.""For most of us, it's not that we don't have the ability," Simonton added, "it's that we don't devote the time. You have to put in the effort and put up with all the frustrations and obstacles."Like other creative geniuses, Einstein was not motivated by a desire for fame, said Simonton. Instead, his obsession with his work was what set him apart.Where such drive comes from remains a mystery. But it is found in nearly allcreative geniuses—whether or not their genius is acknowledged by contemporaries."Emily Dickinson was not recognized for her poetry until after her death," said Simonton. "But she was not writing for fame. The same can be said of James Joyce, who didn't spend a lot of time worrying about how many people would read Finnegans Wake."Today, researchers have evidence that an intrinsic passion for one's work is a key to rising above. In a 1985 study at Brandeis University conducted by Teresa Amabile, now a professor of business administration at Harvard University, a group of professional writers—none famous—were asked to write a short poem. Each writer was then randomly placed in one of three groups: One group was asked to keep in mind the idea of writing for money; another was told to think about writing just for pleasure; and a third group was given no instruction at all.The poems then were submitted anonymously to a panel of professional writers for evaluation. The poetry written by people who thought about writing for money ranked lowest. Those who thought about writing just for pleasure did the best. "Motivation that comes from enjoying the work makes a significant difference, "Amabile said.。

Amessage printed on the bag offered leisurely, lucrative work ( "Big Bucks the Easy Way!") ofdelivering more such bags."I don't mind the indignity," the older one answered."I can live with it," his brother agreed."But it pains me," I said，"to find that you both have been panhandling so long that it no longerembarr asses you."The boys said they would look into the magazine-delivery thing. Pleased, I le ft town on abusiness trip. By midnight I was comfortably settled in a hotel ro om far from home. The phonerang. It was my wife. She wanted to know how my day had gone."Great!" I enthused. "How was your day?" I inquired."Super!" She snapped."Just super! And it's only getting started. Another truck just pulled upout fron t.""Another truck?""The third one this evening. The first delivered four thousand Montgomery Wa rds. The secondbrought four thousand Sears, Roebucks. I don't know what thi s one has, but I'm sure it will befour thousand of something. Since you are re sponsible, I thought you might like to knowwhat's happening.What I was being blamed for, it turned out, was a newspaper strike which m ade it necessary tohand-deliver the advertising inserts that normally are inclu ded with the Sunday paper. Thecompany had promised our boys $600 for deli vering these inserts to 4,000 houses by Sundaymorning."Piece of cake!" our older college son had shouted." Six hundred bucks!" His brother had echoed,"And we can do the job in two hours!""Both the Sears and Ward ads are four newspaper-size pages," my wife infor med me."Thereare thirty-two thousand pages of advertising on our porch. Even as we speak, two big guys arecarrying armloads of paper up the walk. What do we d o about all this?""Just tell the boys to get busy," I instructed."They're college men. They'll do what they have todo."At noon the following day I returned to the hotel and found an urgent messag e to telephonemy wife. Her voice was unnaturally high and quavering. There had been several more truckloadsof ad inserts."They're for department stores, dime stores, drugstores, grocery stores, auto stores and so on. Some are whole magazine sections. We have hundreds of t housands, maybemillions, of pages of advertising here! They are crammed wa ll-to-wall all through the house instacks taller than your oldest son. There's on ly enough room for people to walk in, take oneeach of the eleven inserts, roll them together, slip a rubber band around them and slide theminto a plasti c bag. We have enough plastic bags to supply every takeout restaurant inA merica!" Her voice kept rising, as if working its way out of the range of the h uman ear. "Allthis must be delivered by seven o'clock Sunday morning." "Well, you had better get those guys banding and sliding as fast as they can, and I'll talk to youlater. Got a lunch date.When I returned, there was another urgent call from my wife."Did you have a nice lunch?" she asked sweetly. I had had a marvelous stea k, but knew betterby now than to say so."Awful," I reported. "Some sort of sour fish. Eel, I think.""Good. Your college sons have hired their younger brothers and sisters and a couple ofneighborhood children to help for five dollars each. Assembly lines h ave been set up. In thelanguage of diplomacy, there is 'movement.'" "That's encouraging.""No, it's not," she corrected."It's very discouraging. They're been as it for hours. Plastic bagshave been f illed and piled to the ceiling, but all this hasn't made a dent, not a dent, in t hesituation! It's almost as if the inserts keep reproducing themselves!" "Another thing," she continued."Your college sons must learn that one does not get the bestout of employees by threatening them with bodily harm.Obtaining an audience with son NO. 1, I snarled,"I'll kill you if threaten one of those kids again!Idiot! You should be offering a bonus of a dollar every hour to the worker who fills the mostbags."But that would cut into our profit," he suggested."There won't be any profit unless those kids enable you to make all the delive ries on time. Ifthey don't, you two will have to remove all that paper by your selves. And there will be noeating or sleeping until it is removed."There was a short, thoughtful silence. Then he said,"Dad, you have just worked a profound change in my personality.""Do it!""Yes, sir!"By the following evening, there was much for my wife to report. The bonus p rogram hadworked until someone demanded to see the color of cash. Then so me activist on the work forceclaimed that the workers had no business settlin g for $5 and a few competitive bonuses whilethe bossed collected hundreds of dollars each. The organizer had declared that all the workerswere entitled to $5 per hour! They would not work another minute until the bosses agreed. The strike lasted less than two hours. In mediation, the parties agreed on $ 2 per hour.Gradually, the huge stacks began to shrink.As it turned out, the job was completed three hours before Sunday's 7 a.m. d eadline. By thetime I arrived home, the boys had already settled their accou nts: $150 in labor costs, $40 for gasoline, and a like amountfor gifts—boxes of candy for saintly neighbors who had volunteered station wagons and helpin delivery and dozen roses for their mother. This left them with $185 each — about two-thirds the minimum wage for the 91 hours they worked. Still, it was "enough", as one of themput it, to enable them to "avoid indignity" for quite a while.All went well for some weeks. Then one Saturday morning my attention was d rawn to the oddgoings-on of our two youngest sons. They kept carrying carto n after carton from variouscorners of the house out the front door to curbside . I assumed their mother had enlisted themto remove junk for a trash pick up. Then I overheard them discussing finances."Geez, we're going to make a lot of money!""We're going to be rich!"Investigation revealed that they were offering " for sale or rent" our entire libr ary."No! No!" I cried. "You can't sell our books!""Geez, Dad, we thought you were done with them!""You're never 'done' with books," I tried to explain."Sure you are. You read them, and you're done with them. That's it. Then you might as wellmake a little money from them. We wanted to avoid the indig nity of having to ask you for……"New Wordsbuckn. (sl.) U.S. dollarplastica. 塑料的n.

英语阅读教程参考资料(第四册)
Unit 1 天才与工匠许多人羡慕作家们的精彩小说，但却很少有人知道作家们是如何辛勤笔耕才使一篇小说问世的。
以下的短文将讨论小说的酝酿过程，以及作家是如何将这小说雕琢成一件精致完美的艺术品。
有一次，我在暮色中来到小树林边一棵鲜花盛开的小桃树前。
我久久站在那里凝视着，直到最后一道光线消逝。
我看不到那树原先的模样，看不见曾穿透果核，能崩碎你的牙齿的力量，也看不到那使它与橡树和绿草相区别的原则。
显现在我面前的，是一种深邃而神秘的魅力。
当读者读到一部杰出的小说时，他也会这样如痴如狂，欲将小说字字句句刻骨铭心，不提出任何问题。
但即使是个初学写作者也知道，除那将小说带到世上的文字之外，还有更多的构成小说生命的因素，小说的生命并不始于写作，而始于内心深处的构思。
要创作出有独创性的作品，并不要求懂得创造的功能。
多少世纪以来的艺术、哲学及科学创造都出自人们的头脑，而创造者也许从未想到去关注创造的内在过程。
然而，在我看来，对创造工作一定程度的了解，至少会使我们通过知道两个事实，增长我们处理正在出现的故事的智慧。
首先，天赋不是掌握了技艺的艺术家独有的特性，而是人脑的创造性功能。
不仅所有对技艺的掌握都含有天赋，而且每个人都具有天赋，无论他的天赋发展是何等不充分。
对技艺的掌握是天赋的显现，是经过培养的，发展了的和受过训练的天赋。
你的天赋在最原始的层面上起作用。
它的任务就是创造。
它是你的故事的创造者。
第二，将你的小说带进世界的文字是艺术家的工作，它就和一个泥瓦匠的工作一样，有意识、谨慎而实实在在。
天赋正如理解力、记忆力和想象力一样是我们的精神禀赋中的天然部分，而技艺却不是。
它必须通过实践才能学到，并要通过实践才能掌握。
如果要使在我们内心深处浮现的故事跃然纸上，光彩照人，那么，每个故事都须有感染力极强的优雅文笔。
只有健全的技艺才能使我们做到这一点。
一个故事是如何酝酿成的呢？据说，我们从一生中的前二十年，或许前五年起就开始写作。

高二英语第四册第一篇课文续写作文
高二英语第四册第一篇课文续写作文The sun was shining brightly as I stepped out of the school building after my final class of the day I had been looking forward to this moment all afternoon my friends and I had plans to go to the park and enjoy the nice weather before it got dark Outside the school gates I could see my best friends Sarah and Liam waiting for me waving excitedly as I approached themHey guys I said with a smile Im so ready to get out of here and enjoy the sunshine for a bit me too Liam replied his face lighting up were going to have such a fun afternoon at the park I cant wait to just relax and hang out with you both Sarah chimed in linking her arm through mine as we started walking down the street towards the park it was only a short distance from our school so we usually went there to spend time together after classes were done for the dayAs we strolled through the park entrance I could smell the fresh cut grass and feel the warmth of the sun on my skin it was the perfect spring day to be outdoors the park was bustling with other students from our school as well as families and young children playing on theswings and running around the green grass we found a nice quiet spot under a big oak tree to spread out our blanket and get comfortableSo what should we do first Liam asked as we all sat down on the blanket I vote we just relax for a bit and soak up the sun I said laying back and closing my eyes for a moment the warm rays felt so nice after being cooped up in the school building all day I agree Sarah said laying down beside me it feels so good to be out here in the fresh air away from the chaos of schoolAfter a little while of just enjoying the peaceful atmosphere Liam suggested we go for a walk around the pond in the center of the park that sounded like a great idea so we gathered up our things and headed off down the path skirting the edge of the water the ducks and geese were out swimming and quacking happily and we stopped to toss a few breadcrumbs their way before continuing on our leisurely strollAs we walked I couldnt help but admire the beautiful flowering trees and bushes that lined the pathways the park was in full spring bloom and it was such a lovely sight to take in we chatted casually about our plans for the upcoming weekend and complained a little about the mountain of homework we all had waiting for us at home but for the moment we were just focused on relishing this time to unwindEventually we made our way back to our original spot under the oak tree and Sarah pulled a frisbee out of her bag hey lets play a quick game she said with a grin I havent played frisbee in ages I exclaimed excitedly sounds fun Liam agreed as we all stood up and began tossing the disc back and forth it didnt take long for us to get into a good rhythm and soon we were laughing and running around trying to make impressive catchesAfter a while we started to get a little tired from all the activity so we plopped back down on the blanket taking long sips from our water bottles the cool liquid felt so refreshing on such a warm day as we rested I noticed a group of young kids playing soccer on a nearby field it looked like such a fun game I wished we had brought a ball so we could join themMaybe next time we come to the park we can bring a soccer ball or a volleyball I suggested to the others that way we have more options for activities Sarah nodded in agreement yeah that would be great then we could play all sorts of games out here instead of just frisbee good idea Liam said id be up for a friendly soccer match anytimeThe afternoon began to wane as the sun started to sink lower in the sky casting long shadows across the park we decided it was probably time to start heading home soon before it got dark my parentswould be expecting me for dinner soon anyway I said with a sigh as we packed up our things I had had such a wonderful time relaxing and playing with my best friends though and I was already looking forward to our next park outingAs we walked back towards the school where wed left our bikes Liam threw an arm around each of our shoulders and said im so glad we decided to come hang out today this was exactly what I needed after a long week at school me too I agreed with a smile it was the perfect way to unwind and recharge before the weekend I felt so refreshed and happyWere such good friends I mused as we reached the bike racks and began unlocking our rides we really complement each other well and always have so much fun together I know Liam said with a grin were the perfect trio and I wouldnt trade you guys for anything Sarah beamed at us both as she swung her leg over her bike same here you two are the best friends I could ask forWith one last wave we headed our separate ways promising to text each other later about plans for the weekend I pedaled home with a content smile on my face the afternoon in the park had been exactly what I needed to recharge and I felt so grateful to have such amazing friends to share these moments with I couldnt wait for our next adventure。

基础英语课文概述(第四册)
Unit 1Last year I was invited to come here to encourage myself and some friends by singing some traditional songs of our school. At that time, we were in difficult situation. But things are getting better for us. We Englishmen should stick to the end and try to win. However, we have learnt a lesson from these hard time : never give into anything, never, never, never. Many countries thought that we were going to be beaten. But we didn't give in. As long as we stick to it, we will win in the end. I want to change the " darker days " into " sterner days ". Because these days are hard not dark. These days are great days for us.Unit 2One day, at my bank, I was standing in a line. A man's movement caused the original lazy line having collapsed in on itself like a slinky. This is only an example showing that people are paying less attention to their personal space. Everyone should have the personal space which other's can't penetrate. There are some reasons caused the personal space inviding : the season, the vary geography, the different manners and so on. We should begin to not penetrate others' space by ourselves. One person's power is very important. If everyone do this, the problem of personal space would be changed.Unit 3The internet provides an amazing forum for the free exchange of ideas. The Internet has two sides, it will bring both positive and nagtive consequences. The Internet is responsible for global unification, but it makes the fragmentation of the society. There is an example showing the disadvantage of the Internet. Some people use the Internet all day and can't control themselves. The development of the society let people become distanced from their families and neibors. The Internet had changed our lives, and influenced the children's dream of the nature. The Internet have advantages and disadvantages, how to achieve the balance is a important problem. In fact, we have the ability to do it, and we should try our best.Unit 4On August 9th , 1945, the Japanese military learnt that Nagasaki had been hit by a “New style bomb”. Photographer Yamahata show us some pictures about the Nagasaki destroyed. He tells us that atomic bomb have great destruction, and bring us serious consequences. The atomic bomb has strong power, so as to ruin the whole world. It’s very dangerous to live with it. We should improve the vigilance and learn how to protect ourselves. Yamahata appeals to dispel the atomic bomb entirely. Just do this, people could live better. We should create peace and perfect life for themby the factual action.Unit 5The film Girlfriend was a slight movie, it showed what women’s friendship was like. Recent years, movies had begun to focus on female friendship. In the past, the ideal of friendship had always been male. Men occupied the important situation of the society. But now, things began to change. People realized the distinction between men’s and women’s friendship. Men had buddies, women had friends. Buddies seemed to “do” things together, but friends simply “were” together. Men don’t say but can die for buddies, women always want to share the secret with friends. The female’s idea of friendship was becoming accepted as the general ideal.Unit 6I pull an old American flag every year, I wanted to celebrate the National Day by my own way. The flag is significant for the expatriated family. And I think it’s important to tell children about American history and tell them who they are. Physical separation can’t influence the devotion for our own country. Our children can tell some of the American history in detail. Globalization has made the difference between France and the United States smaller and smaller, and children have more access to their native culture. But globalization make the children loss the opportunity to immersed in a truly foreign world.。
