新标准⼤学英语视听说教程听⼒原⽂Unit 6-Conversation 1Janet: What are you reading, KateKate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know itJanet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary.Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year.Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials.Janet: My screen's gone dark.Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously.Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet.Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything!Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ...I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ...Janet: If only I'd backed things up!Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK.Janet: I hope so.Unit 6-Conversation 2Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland.Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ...Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop!Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon.Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work.Kate: She should have been more careful.Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief!Kate: You were talking in your sleep.Janet: What was I sayingKate: "Stupid, stupid."M ark: I've sorted out your computer.Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problemMark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark.Kate: He's great, isn't heJanet: Yes. So are you, Kate.Kate: You're such a good friend.Unit 6-Outside viewComputers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about thatUnit 6-Listening inNews ReportUS Scientists have announced the discovery of gravitational waves, which are tiny waves produced by massive objects moving very quickly. Two black holes produced the waves when they crashed into each other about billion years ago. A black hole is a place in space where the gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape. This announcement of the discovery comes a century after Albert Einstein first predicted gravitational waves would exist.The discovery was made possible by using a highly sensitive instrument designed to detect signals of gravitational waves and identify their sources. This discovery proves that there are gravitational waves, and strongly confirms the existence of black holes.With this discovery, scientists are given a new tool to study and understand the universe. The waves could help scientists learn more about what happened immediately after the universe began and how the universe expanded. Scientists hope that they may be able to observe parts of the universe that were previously undetectable.1.What discovery have US scientists made2.What features do black holes have according to thenews report3.Why is the discovery importantPassage 1When you have a biscuit with your cup of tea, do you dunk it And if so, what’s the perfect way to do it That’s the subject of today’s Science in Action report. It may be hard to believe but scientists at the University of Bristol have been analyzing this question. And after a two-month study they devised a mathematical formula for dunking biscuits. So no more melting chocolate, or biscuit crumbs in the bottom of your cup, which is the fate of one in four biscuits that are dunked in tea, according to research by a biscuit manufacturer. Doughnut dunkers don’t face the same problems because doughnuts are held together with an elastic net of protein, gluten. This substance allows the doughnut to absorb liquid without breaking down its structure. The structure of a biscuit, however, is held together by sugar which melts when placed in hot tea or coffee. So what is the answer The researcher, let by Dr. Len Fisher, discovered that holding the biscuit in a horizontal position – or “flat-on”– has a significant effect on the amount of time that a biscuit can stay in hot liquid before falling apart. In fact this horizontal dunking results in a dunking time up to four times longer than traditional vertical dunking.What’s the reason for this It seems that the answer is related to diffusion, in other words, the length of time it takes for theliquid to penetrate the structure of the biscuit. Basically, it takes longer for the liquid to travel through the channels of a biscuit when it is laid flat on the surface of the liquid. Also the fact that when a biscuit is dunked horizontally, with the biscuit submerged in the liquid, and the chocolate coating staying out of the liquid, the chocolate helps hold the biscuit together. Another factor influencing the equation is the temperature of the tea –the hotter the tea, the faster the sugar melts. Researchers also found that by dunking a biscuit into tea or coffee, up to ten times more flavor is release than it the b iscuit is eaten dry. So it’s worth experimenting yourself. If you are wondering how you can perfect the horizontal dunk, the researchers have come up with an idea for a biscuit-holding device to make dunking biscuits easier. They are even mow working on producing a table giving guidelines on dunking times for different types of biscuit. On that note, I think it’s time to go off to the canteen for a tea break!Passage 2Peter: Hey Louise, look at this book about crop circles - some of the photos are absolutelyunbelievable.Louise: You don t believe in all that stuff, do you PeterPeter: I'm not saying I believe in UFOs and things, but some of the formations are fascinating.They’re made up of lots of interconnectedcircles and geometrical shapes. You know, inthe past few years, there have been morereports of them. The circles are gettinglarger and the designs are getting moreintricate... I'm sure that they can't all beman-made. Think about it - they're socomplicated, and they appear at night in themiddle of fields of wheat barley or corn.It’s definitely pretty weird!Louise: I know, but l saw a TV documentary about it, and they showed how a group of hoaxers madean elaborate crop circle in a field at nightusing wooden plank, ropes, plastic tubes anda garden roller. They even fooled some of thepeople who believe in the paranormal-alienscoming down in UFOs and aliens coming downin UFOs and creating them, and so on. Peter: I'm sure lots of them are created by people just to get publicity but look here-it says,“The first records of crop circles go backas far as the 17th century. Since the 1970sthere have been over 12,000 reports fromcountries all around the world includingItaly, America, South Africa, Australia andBrazil.” Most reports are from here inEngland though.Louise: B ut surely that’s just because they get so much media coverage these days, so more people are making them.Peter: Perhaps, but how do you explain the fact that the actual chemical composition of the grains of corps inside the circles changesScientific tests have found they have ahigher protein level. The stems of the grainshave often been exposed to high temperatures.And they found that the soil within thecircles contains more iron than the soiloutside. So far, the hoaxers haven't beenable to copy all these features.Louise: W ell, I'm not a scientist but I'm pretty sceptical about all these so-called paranormal explanations. I remember in theprogramme I watched, the researchers foundsigns of human interference, such as holesin the earth and footprints!Peter: Come on… you must admit, that still leavesa lot which is unexplained!Louise: T here's lots of things that are hard to explain but this really...。

新视野大学英语第二版第三册读写教程unit1~unit10课文翻译和课后答案
第二版新视野大学英语读写教程第三册unit1~unit10课文翻译和课后答案Unit 11.我哥哥吉米出生时遇上难产，因为缺氧导致大脑受损。
两年后，我出生了。
从此以后，我的生活便围绕我哥哥转。
伴随我成长的，是“到外面去玩，把你哥哥也带上。
”不带上他，我是哪里也去不了的。
因此，我怂恿邻居的孩子到我家来，尽情地玩孩子们玩的游戏。
2.我母亲教吉米学习日常自理，比如刷牙或系皮带什么的。
我父亲宅心仁厚，他的耐心和理解使一家人心贴着心。
我则负责外面的事，找到那些欺负我哥哥的孩子们的父母，告他们的状，为我哥哥讨回公道。
3.父亲和吉米形影不离。
他们一道吃早饭，平时每天早上一道开车去海军航运中心，他们都在那里工作，吉米在那搬卸标有彩色代号的箱子。
晚饭后，他们一道交谈，玩游戏，直到深夜。
他们甚至用口哨吹相同的曲调。
4.所以，父亲1991年因心脏病去世时，吉米几乎崩溃了，尽管他尽量不表现出来。
他就是不能相信父亲去世这一事实。
通常，他是一个令人愉快的人，现在却一言不发，无论说多少话都不能透过他木然的脸部表情了解他的心事。
我雇了一个人和他住在一起，开车送他去上班。
然而，不管我怎么努力地维持原状，吉米还是认为他熟悉的世界已经消失了。
有一天，我问他：“你是不是想念爸爸？”他的嘴唇颤抖了几下，然后问我：“你怎么看，玛格丽特？他是我最好的朋友。
”接着，我俩都流下了眼泪。
5.六个月后，母亲因肺癌去世，剩下我一人来照顾吉米。
6.吉米不能马上适应去上班时没有父亲陪着，因此搬来纽约和我一起住了一段时间。
我走到哪里他就跟到哪里，他好像适应得很好。
但吉米依然想住在我父母的房子里，继续干他原来的工作。
我答应把他送回去。
此事最后做成了。
如今，他在那里生活了11年，在许多人的照料下，同时依靠自己生活得有声有色。
他已成了邻里间不可或缺的人物。
如果你有邮件要收，或有狗要遛，他就是你所要的人。
7.当然，母亲的话没错：可以有一个家，既能容纳他的缺陷又能装下我的雄心。

I can't help but compare their lives to my own.Like Dominique from France, I also have a pretty structured schedule during the school week. My day starts bright and early at 6:30am when my mom bellows up the stairs for me to wake up.I begrudgingly drag myself out of my cozy bed and into the bathroom to get ready. After washing up, putting on my uniform, and doing my hair, I head downstairs for a quick breakfast.My morning routine is so robotic at this point that I could probably do it with my eyes closed. Well, except for picking out an outfit since I have to wear that drab uniform every day. I've gotten pretty good at shoveling down some cereal and fruitbefore dashing out the door by 7:15. The bus stop is just a couple blocks away, so I have to hurry to make it there on time.The bus ride to school is always chaotic, with rowdy kids yelling and bouncing around in the aisle. I just pop in my headphones to drown out the ruckus and chill to some music for the 20 minute commute. Once I arrive at school, I walk my usual route to my locker to swap out my books for first period. The hallways are a stressful sea of students franticly trying to get to class on time. I always feel like a salesman working the aisles at a crowded marketplace, dodging people left and right.My classes start at 8am sharp with Math first up. Most days I'm already zoning out by the time the teacher starts rambling on about algebra or geometry problems I just don't get. Next up is English, which is actually one of my stronger subjects. I have a flair for creative writing and analyzing literature. My mind tends to wander during the more tedious grammar lessons though.The morning flies by with Science and Spanish before the oh-so-necessary nutrition break at 10:20am. I desperately look forward to those 20 blessed minutes to scarf down a snack and recharge my batteries. Lunchtime couldn't come soon enough after that. At noon, I get to enjoy an hour away from classrooms and teachers to hang out with my friends. We gather at our usualspot on the lawn to gossip, joke around, and vent about classes and junk like normal teens. Those moments of freedom and socialization make bearing the rest of the school day a little easier.After lunch it's History, followed by the elective classes that actually keep things interesting - I'm taking Art and Music this semester. Even though those feel more like fun breaks than work, I still have to apply myself and turn in assignments. The final bell rings at 3pm to Signal the sweet release from academic anguish. My friends and I part ways, and I hop back on the bus for home.Once I finally get through the front door around 3:45pm, the first order of business is dropping my backpack and kicking off my shoes. Ahhh, that feels so good! Maybe I can sneak in a snack and some TV time before starting on homework. After vegging for a bit, I'll reluctantly crack open my books and try to plow through assignments for a few hours. Dinner's usually around 6:30pm with the whole family before I squeeze in any remaining homework.By 9pm, I'm wiped out from the long day and ready for bed. I go through my nightly routine of showering, brushing my teeth, pjs, and maybe some reading if I have any energy left. Lights go out at 10pm so I can recharge for another recycled daytomorrow. That's my typical lifestyle Monday through Friday while school's in session.Of course, weekends are a blessed respite from that rigid schedule. I get to indulge my hobbies and interests, hang out with friends, maybe make a little spending money at mypart-time job. I can actually enjoy being a kid without the scholastic pressures for those two glorious days.As I close my textbook and ponder my lifestyle, I'm drawn to the beginning of Unit 2 titled "World Sports." My mind instantly shifts from the academia grind to the excitement of athletics. While I may not be a world-class competitor, I do have a huge passion for sports, both playing and watching.Of the popular sports featured in the unit like basketball, soccer, and baseball, my ultimate favorite is definitely soccer. There's just something invigorating about constantly running up and down that huge field, the thrill of dribbling the ball past defenders, and scoring a goal that gives me an adrenaline rush like nothing else.I started playing soccer back in kindergarten in a recreation league. All us 5-year-olds pretty much just chased the ball around aimlessly like a swarm of bees for an hour. Fundamental skills like passing, trapping, and shooting were still completelyforeign to us. But it was just fun being outside running around with friends.As I progressed through the town's youth league system over the years, I actually started developing technique and strategy for the game. Games became more competitive, and we had to train harder to raise our skill level. The stakes felt higher when placing in tournaments meant advancing to play at the state and regional levels.By 7th grade, my elite club team travels regularly to take on other squads from across the Midwest. We put in a lot of work at practices honing our communication, offensive and defensive tactics. All that preparation definitely shows on the field during these intense matches away from home.One of the biggest tournaments we compete in is the Fair Play Cup held in St. Louis over Spring Break. It's a huge deal with teams from all across the country coming to go head-to-head. The stadiums are packed with rabid fans cheering on their kids. The pressure to perform your best is immense.The Cup has so much pageantry and hype surrounding it. They have an opening ceremony with marching bands and skydivers delivering the game balls. Tournament sponsors set up interactive games and free samples in the outer concourses tokeep fans engaged. It really makes you feel like a professional athlete...at least for a week. Participating in that electrified environment is a dream-come-true for any young soccer phenom.Win or lose, just being part of that experience is something you never forget. The lasting memories and life lessons learned far outweigh any scores or standings. Things like perseverance, teamwork, handling adversity - those intangible qualities serve players well both on and off the field.I certainly hope to play soccer throughout high school and maybe even earn a college scholarship. The competition will only get tougher at those higher levels. But with continued passion, determination, and hard work, maybe I could potentially realize my dream of playing professionally one day. The odds may be slim, but a young athlete can certainly fantasize!So in summary, my lifestyle is a balance between dutiful student and aspiring athlete. My weekdays are essentially confined to the rigid schedule and pressures of academics. But I get to blow off steam and pursue my true ardor on the pitch training for the next big soccer tourney. It's not an easy juggling act, but embracing that duality is just part of life for an overachieving, well-rounded 7th grader like myself. I'll keepchasing both scholarly and athletic excellence as I progress through my adolescent years.篇2My School Life: Balancing Responsibilities and InterestsSchool takes up a huge part of my life as a 7th grader. Between classes, homework, extracurricular activities and time with friends, there's a lot to juggle! Units 1 and 2 in our English textbook this semester focused on school subjects and responsibilities as well as hobbies and interests outside of school. As I read through the units, I realized how relevant the topics are to my daily experiences of trying to balance all my commitments. Let me tell you about a typical weekly schedule for me.My week always starts bright and early on Monday morning.I wake up around 6:30am to get ready for school, which starts at 8am. Once I'm at school, I have a packed day of core academic classes like math, science, English, history and Spanish. Those make up the bulk of my schedule from 8am to 3pm when the final bell rings. Math is probably my most challenging subject – I find algebra really tough! My favorite class is English though. I love reading novels and analyzing the deeper meanings. This semester we've studied some fascinating works of fiction thatreally get you thinking about profound topics like justice, morality and humanity's impact on the environment.After the academic day ends, I stay after school for extracurricular activities a few days per week. On Mondays, I have tennis practice until 5pm. I'm on the school's co-ed tennis team and we have matches every Saturday during the season. Tennis is one of my biggest passions outside of school – I've played since I was 7 years old and just love the competitive spirit and athleticism required for the sport.When tennis practice ends, I rush home, quickly eat dinner, and then get started on my nightly homework routine. Depending on the day's assignments, I'll spend 2-3 hours diligently working on things like math problem sets, reading chapters for English class and writing essays, studying vocabulary for Spanish quizzes, or working on science lab reports.I know some of my classmates goof off during this homework time, but I really try my best to stay focused and get it all done. My parents are always checking in to make sure I'm on task too!After powering through my homework, I'll take an hour or so before bed to relax with a hobby. A couple nights per week, I work on my coding skills using online tutorials for programming languages like Python and JavaScript. I first got into coding in5th grade when I took an introductory computer science course, and I've been hooked ever since! My dream is to maybe work as a software engineer someday. Other nights, I'll spend time on creative writing – keeping a journal, drafting short stories, or working on my novel-in-progress. I've always been an avid reader, and writing fictional tales myself is a passion project. Sometimes I even submit my best works to regional youth writing contests.Tuesdays and Thursdays follow a similar packed routine as Mondays, but my after-school activity is Model United Nations club instead of tennis practice. In Model UN, we prepare to participate in regional conferences by researching global issues, learning about international relations, and practicing public speaking skills. It's a ton of work but also incredibly interesting and rewarding. We learn so much about the world's greatest challenges and how to think critically about solving them.Wednesdays bring a slight change of pace as I don't have any after-school activities. However, I often use that extra time in the evenings to get a head start on larger assignments like term papers or big projects that are on the horizon. Time management skills are so crucial with my busy schedule, so I try to plan ahead as much as possible.Friday is a huge cause for celebration come 3pm because it means the weekend is finally here! After tennis practice on Friday evenings, I'm free to just hang out, relax, and have fun for the next couple days. That usually means making plans with my friends – going to the movies, grabbing dinner somewhere, having a game night, or just hanging out at each other's houses. My closest friends and I have been buddies since kindergarten! We love playing video games together (our favorites are Fortnite and Minecraft) or just talking about random things for hours.Weekends are also my opportunity to sleep in a bit and recharge my batteries for the upcoming week. I try to use Saturday mornings to run any outstanding errands or do chores around the house like taking out the trash, cleaning my room, or mowing the lawn during summer months. My parents are really on me about pitching in and doing my part. I know it's good preparation for being self-sufficient and responsible later in life.Later on Saturdays, I often have my tennis matches if it's during the season. Both me and my teammates take the competitions really seriously as the elite high school teams are always scouting younger talent. We all have dreams of potentially earning a college scholarship through tennis! During the winters, I instead spend Saturday nights with my local youthgroup from church. We meet for bible studies but our activities are always super fun too – things like holiday parties, bowling nights, laser tag, etc. It's a great way to build community.Sundays are for homework, homework, homework. I clear my schedule for the entire day to make sure I'm caught up and prepped for the upcoming week. But I also try to set aside an hour or so in the afternoons to simply relax, watch Netflix or read for pleasure – you have to give your brain a break sometime, right?Overall, while my schedule is definitely hectic andover-committed, I really love having such a well-rounded array of activities between academics, athletics, extracurriculars and recreational hobbies. It's all about striving for that balance between working hard and making time for the things you're passionate about. Sometimes it's stressful juggling all my responsibilities, but I know it's building character and preparing me for even greater challenges down the road.I may only be in 7th grade, but I've quickly learned that time management, self-discipline, and prioritization are critical life skills. So as crazy as my weekly routine seems, I wouldn't have it any other way. Bring on 8th grade – I'll be ready!篇3A Fresh Start and A Lasting FriendshipAs I stood at the gates of my new school, my heart was pounding with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. It was the first day of 7th grade, and I was about to embark on a new journey filled with challenges and opportunities. Little did I know that this fresh start would also mark the beginning of a lasting friendship that would shape my life in ways I could never have imagined.The first few weeks were a whirlwind of new faces, new classrooms, and new routines. It was overwhelming, but I was determined to make the most of this new chapter. One of the first people I met was a girl named Emily. She had a warm smile and a contagious laugh that instantly put me at ease. We bonded over our shared love of reading and our mutual fascination with the world around us.In English class, we were introduced to the concept of descriptive writing. Our teacher, Mr. Johnson, encouraged us to paint vivid pictures with our words, to transport our readers to the scenes we were describing. Emily and I would often spendour lunch breaks brainstorming ideas and sharing our drafts with each other.One of the first assignments was to describe our dream vacation. I chose to write about a tropical island, with its crystal-clear waters, swaying palm trees, and golden sandy beaches. Emily's description took us on a journey through the Swiss Alps, with snow-capped mountains, cozy chalets, and breathtaking vistas. As we read each other's work, we were transported to these imaginary worlds, marveling at the power of words to evoke such vivid images.But it wasn't just the creative writing assignments that brought us together. In Unit 2, we delved into the world of biographies, learning about the lives of remarkable individuals who had left an indelible mark on history. We were captivated by the stories of scientists like Marie Curie and Albert Einstein, artists like Frida Kahlo and Pablo Picasso, and activists like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malala Yousafzai.Emily and I would spend hours discussing these incredible people, analyzing their struggles, their triumphs, and the impact they had on the world. We were inspired by their resilience, their passion, and their unwavering determination to make a difference.One day, during our weekly book club meeting, Emily shared a quote that resonated deeply with both of us: "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." It was a sentiment echoed by many of the people we had studied, and it sparked a profound conversation about our own dreams and aspirations.As the school year progressed, our friendship deepened, and we became inseparable. We supported each other through academic challenges, shared our hopes and fears, and celebrated each other's successes. Emily's unwavering positivity and her ability to find joy in the smallest things were a constant source of inspiration for me.In the blink of an eye, the final weeks of the school year arrived, and we found ourselves face-to-face with our dreaded final exams. The pressure was mounting, but Emily and I made a pact to study together, quizzing each other on vocabulary words, grammar rules, and literary devices.The night before the English exam, we stayed up late, poring over our notes and practicing sample essays. As the hours ticked by, our eyelids grew heavy, but our determination never wavered. We knew that we had put in the hard work, and we were ready to tackle whatever challenges came our way.When the exam finally arrived, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. Emily and I exchanged a knowing glance, a silent reminder of the bond we had forged and the strength we had found in each other. As I put pen to paper, the words flowed effortlessly, a testament to the skills we had honed throughout the year.After the exam, Emily and I celebrated our accomplishments with a well-deserved ice cream sundae, savoring the sweet taste of success and the bittersweet realization that our 7th grade journey was coming to an end.As we parted ways for the summer, promising to stay in touch, I couldn't help but reflect on the incredible impact Emily had had on my life. She had been more than just a friend; she had been a constant source of inspiration, a reminder that with hard work, determination, and a little bit of laughter, anything was possible.Looking back on that pivotal year, I realize that the lessons I learned extended far beyond the confines of the classroom. In Unit 1, I discovered the power of descriptive writing to transport readers to new worlds, and in Unit 2, I gained a deeper appreciation for the remarkable individuals who had paved the way for progress and change.But more importantly, I learned the value of true friendship, of having someone by your side who believes in you, challenges you, and lifts you up when you need it most. Emily taught me that great friendships, like great works of literature, are crafted over time, with each shared experience adding depth and richness to the narrative.As I embark on the next chapter of my life, I carry with me the lessons and memories from that unforgettable year. And while our paths may diverge, I know that the bond Emily and I forged will remain a constant source of strength and inspiration, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, a true friend can light the way forward.。
黑猫英语分级读物匹诺曹主要概括
黑猫英语分级读物匹诺曹主要概括全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi: A Student's SummaryYou guys, I just finished reading this crazy book called "The Adventures of Pinocchio" for my Italian literature class, and let me tell you, it's one wild ride! It's about this wooden puppet named Pinocchio who comes to life and goes on all these bizarre adventures. buckle up, because this summary is going to be a doozy!So it all starts when this poor woodcarver named Geppetto makes a puppet out of a magic piece of wood. Somehow this puppet, Pinocchio, comes to life! Geppetto's pretty stoked and treats Pinocchio like his own kid. But from the get-go, Pinocchio is a misbehaving little punk.The first night after he's created, Pinocchio gets talked into staying out all night by this sly fox and cat. When he finally gets home, the cricket (who's like his conscience or something) calls him out for being naughty. Does Pinocchio listen? No way, hechucks a hammer at the poor cricket and allegedly kills him. Yikes!Anyway, Pinocchio's misadventures just keep piling up. He gets kidnaped twice - first by some shady characters who want to make him perform in their puppet show, and then by this terrifying human/ogre creature who locks him in a cage to fatten him up and eat him later. Both times, Pinocchio miraculously escapes through his quick wits and dumb luck.In between those two kidnappings is one of the wildest parts of the book. Pinocchio gets tricked into going to this paradise island called the Land of Toys, where kids can do whatever they want with no rules or school. Sounds amazing, right? Well, it turns out to be a total nightmare. The kids there start turning into donkeys to be sold into labor! Pinocchio very narrowly avoids that fate by growing donkey ears and a tail before being rescued just in time. Phew, close call!But does Pinocchio learn his lesson after all this? Of course not! He keeps lying, tricking people, and generally acting like a brat. Every time he lies, his nose grows longer as punishment. At one point, his nose is so huge that he can barely move around!After all these crazy escapades, you'd think Pinocchio would shape up, especially when he finally gets reunited with his dadGeppetto. But nope, the dummy runs away to bury his gold coins in the forest and gets swallowed by a giant shark (or "terrible dogfish" as the book calls it). Inside the shark, who does Pinocchio find but Geppetto, who had been swallowed days earlier while sailing to find his son!They live inside this brutal shark for who knows how long before making a daring escape by setting it on fire from the inside. When they finally get out, Pinocchio promises to be good from now on if only he can become a real boy instead of just a puppet. And you know what? It works! The Blue Fairy finally grants Pinocchio's wish and turns him human as a reward for his genuine change of heart.So that's the gist of this absolute madhouse of a story. There's plenty more wild stuff that happens along the way, including Pinocchio getting his feet burned off, turning into a donkey temporarily, and joining a vaudeville-like group of acrobats and actors. By the end, I was just mentally and emotionally drained from following Pinocchio down all his reckless rabbit holes!But I guess the moral is that even hopelessly flawed people (or puppets) can change if they really want to and work at it. Pinocchio is the epitome of how stubborn and misbehaved kidscan be sometimes. Yet after enduring an insane amount of misfortune and learning some tough lessons, he finally shapes up and gets rewarded with a fresh start as a real human boy. Props to Collodi for giving us such an unforgettably bizarre yet meaningful story!So yeah, that's Pinocchio in a very dense nutshell. 10/10 would recommend this rollercoaster of a book to anyone looking for a reality check on how not to behave as a kid. Let's just say Pinocchio had to learn his lessons about obedience and honesty the absolute hardest way possible...through animatronic donkey transformations, terrifying abductions, and years inside a whale's belly! Kids these days have it easy compared to what this puppet went through. I'll be applying Pinocchio's moral to my own life from now on: no more lying or I might just sprout a massive schnozz!篇2Pinocchio: A Wooden Boy's Wild AdventuresPinocchio is a famous children's novel by Italian author Carlo Collodi, first published in 1883. It tells the story of a wooden puppet who dreams of becoming a real boy. The tale is filled with crazy mishaps, valuable life lessons, and a lovable cast ofcharacters. Let me take you through the twists and turns of Pinocchio's rollicking journey.The story begins when a kindly old woodcarver named Geppetto creates a wooden puppet he names Pinocchio. Much to Geppetto's surprise, the little puppet comes to life! Pinocchio can walk, talk, and get into all sorts of mischief. An anthropomorphic cricket tries to guide Pinocchio onto the right path, but the naughty puppet refuses to listen and ends up telling lies that make his wooden nose grow longer and longer.Pinocchio's disobedience leads him down a path of wild misadventures. He runs away from home to join a puppet show, but is arrested and thrown into prison when he rebels against the cruel puppet master. Luckily, the Blue Fairy arrives to set him free on the condition that he promises to behave. However, Pinocchio quickly breaks that promise when he encounters two con artists who trick him into burying his precious gold coins in the Wonderland amusement park.In the park, Pinocchio is lured away from school by the mischievous Coachman and is transformed into a donkey destined to be sold. He manages to escape this fate, but ends up getting swallowed by a massive shark while searching forGeppetto in the open sea. Inside the shark's belly, Pinocchio is reunited with his father who had gone searching for his son.After their dramatic escape from the shark's stomach, Pinocchio vows to truly reform his ways. His selfless commitment to saving Geppetto convinces the Blue Fairy that he has finally learned the value of courage, kindness and honesty. As a reward, she transforms the little wooden puppet into a real human boy, allowing Pinocchio and Geppetto to live happily ever after.Despite the story's fun and imaginative plot, Collodi's novel imparts meaningful moral lessons about the importance of hard work, obedience to parents, and rejecting wickedness. Pinocchio represents the struggle we all face to develop integrity and make the right choices in life, even when temptation lures us down the wrong path.The charming characters also help convey these virtues. Kind Geppetto exemplifies the devoted love of a parent. The Blue Fairy acts as a moral guide providing wisdom and discipline. Even comical supporting characters like the Talking Cricket reflect the voice of our conscience encouraging good behavior. In contrast, the Coachman, Fox and Cat symbolize the malicious influences in the world that can lead us astray if we're not careful.Generations of children around the world have been entertained and impacted by Pinocchio's rambunctious tale. The story's universal themes of determination, repentance and redemption have helped establish it as an iconic work of children's literature. Pinocchio's transformation from a disobedient puppet into a caring human boy reminds us all that it's never too late to change for the better.Filled with imaginative characters, exciting escapades, and heartwarming lessons, the adventurous story of Pinocchio continues to delight readers of all ages. The little puppet who became a real boy will forever serve as a beloved, wooden role model for choosing virtue over vice in the great theaters of our lives.篇3Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi: A Classic Tale of Mischief and MoralityAs a student who has just finished reading the iconic children's novel Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, I can't help but be captivated by the timeless tale of a mischievous puppet's journey to become a real boy. This classic story, first published in 1883, has captured the hearts and imaginations of readers acrossgenerations with its whimsical characters, moral lessons, and imaginative storytelling.The story begins with Geppetto, a poor woodcarver, crafting a wooden puppet he names Pinocchio. To Geppetto's astonishment, the puppet miraculously comes to life, thanks to the magic of the Blue Fairy. However, Pinocchio is a mischievous and disobedient puppet, constantly getting himself into trouble with his lies and misadventures.One of the most memorable incidents in the book is when Pinocchio's nose grows longer every time he tells a lie. This clever metaphor teaches children the importance of honesty and the consequences of dishonesty in a way that is both entertaining and impactful. As Pinocchio learns the hard way, his lies not only cause him physical discomfort but also lead him down a path of misadventures and moral dilemmas.Throughout the story, Pinocchio encounters a colorful cast of characters, each serving as a metaphor or lesson for different human flaws and virtues. The sly Fox and Cat, for instance, represent the dangers of greed and deception, while thekind-hearted Blue Fairy symbolizes the guidance and wisdom that can help one stay on the right path.One of the most poignant moments in the book is when Pinocchio's disobedience leads him to be transformed into a donkey and sold to a cruel circus owner. This harrowing experience serves as a wake-up call for Pinocchio, teaching him the importance of obedience and the consequences of succumbing to temptation.Aside from its moral lessons, Pinocchio is also a delightful adventure story, taking readers on a fantastical journey through a world where puppets come to life, magical creatures exist, and the line between reality and fantasy is blurred. Collodi's vivid descriptions and imaginative storytelling transport readers to this whimsical realm, making it easy to suspend disbelief and become fully immersed in Pinocchio's escapades.Perhaps one of the most enduring themes of Pinocchio is the idea of transformation and personal growth. As Pinocchio navigates the challenges and temptations of the world, he gradually learns valuable lessons about responsibility, compassion, and the importance of staying true to oneself. His journey from a mischievous puppet to a courageous and selfless real boy is a powerful metaphor for the human experience of maturation and self-discovery.Overall, Pinocchio is a timeless classic that has captivated readers of all ages with its imaginative storytelling, memorable characters, and enduring moral lessons. As a student, reading this book has not only been an enjoyable experience but has also reinforced the importance of values such as honesty, obedience, and personal growth. Pinocchio's adventures serve as a reminder that no matter how mischievous or disobedient we may be, there is always the opportunity for redemption and transformation if we are willing to learn from our mistakes and embrace the guidance of those who care for us.。

Being the first black woman elected to Congress has made me some kind of phenomenon. There are nine other blacks in Congress; there are ten other women. I was the first to overcome both handicaps at once. Of the two handicaps, being black is much less of a drawback than being female.2. If I said that being black is a greater handicap than being a woman, probably no one would question me. W hy Because “we all know” there is prejudice against black people in America. That there is prejudice against women is an idea that still strikes nearly all men — and, I am afraid, most women — as bizarre.3. Prejudice against blacks was invisible to most white Americans for many years. When blacks finally started to “mention” it, with sit-ins, boycotts, and freedom rides, Americans were incredulous. “Who, us” they asked in injured tones. “We’re prejudiced” It was the start of a long, painful reeducation fo r white America. It will take years for whites — including those who think of themselves as liberals —to discover and eliminate the racist attitudes they all actually have.4. How much harder will it be to eliminate the prejudice against women I am sure it will be a longer struggle. Part of the problem is that women in America are much more brainwashed and content with their roles as second-class citizens than blacks ever were.5. Let me explain. I have been active in politics for more than twenty years. For all but the last six, I have done the work — all the tedious details that make the difference between victory and defeat on election day — while men reaped the rewards, which is almost invariably the lot of women in politics.6. It is still women — about three million volunteers — who do most of this work in the American political world. The best any of them can hope for is the honor of being district or county vice-chairman, a kind of separate-but-equal position with which a woman is rewarded for years of faithful envelope stuffing and card-party organizing. In such a job, she gets a number of free trips to state and sometimesnational meetings and conventions, where her role is supposed to be to vote the way her male chairman votes.7. When I tried to break out of that role in 1963 and run for the New York State Assembly seat from Brooklyn’s Bedford Stuyvesant, the resistance was bitter. From the start of that campaign, I faced undisguised hostility because of my sex.8. But it was four years later, when I ran for Congress, that the question of my sex became a major issue. Among members of my own party, closed meetings were held to discuss ways of stopping me.9. My opponent, the famous civil-rights leader James Farmer tried to project a black, masculine image; he toured the neighborhood with sound trucks filled with young men wearing Afro haircuts, dashikis, and beards. While the television crews ignored me, they were not aware of a very important statistic, which both I and my campaign manager, Wesley MacD. Holder, knew. In my district there are women for every man registered to vote. And those are organized — in PTAs, church societies, card clubs, and other social and service groups. I went to them and asked their help. Mr. Farmer still does n’t quite know what hit him.10. When a bright young woman graduate starts looking for a job, why is the first question always: “Can you type” A history of prejudice lies behind that question. Why are women thought of as secretaries, not administrators Librarians and teachers, but not doctors and lawyers Because they are thought of as different and inferior. The happy homemaker and the contented darky are both stereotypes produced by prejudice.11. Women have not even reached the level of tokenism that blacks are reaching. No women sit on the Supreme Court. Only two have held Cabinet rank, and none do at present. Only two women hold ambassadorial rank. But women predominate in the lower-paying, menial, unrewarding, dead-end jobs, and when they do reach better positions, they are invariably paid less than a man gets for the same job.12. If that is not prejudice, what would you call it13. A few years ago, I was talking with a political leader about a promising young woman as a candidate. “Why invest time and effort to build the girl up” he asked me.“You know she’ll only drop out of the game to have a couple of kids just about the time we’re ready to run her for mayor.”14. Plenty of people have said similar things about me. Plenty of others have advised me, every time I tried to take another upward step, that I should go back to teaching, a woman’s vocation, and leave politics to the men. I love teaching, and I am ready to go back to it as soon as I am convinced that this country no longer needs a w oman’s contribution.15. When there are no children going to bed hungry in this rich nation, I may be ready to go back to teaching. When there is a good school for every child, I may be ready. When we do not spend our wealth on hardware to murder people, when we no longer tolerate prejudice against minorities, and when the laws against unfair housing and unfair employment practices are enforced instead of evaded, then there may be nothing more for me to do in politics.16. But until that happens — and we all know it will not be this year or next —what we need is more women in politics. Because we have a very special contribution to make. I hope that the example of my success will convince other women to get into politics — and not just to stuff envelopes, but to run for office.17. It is women who can bring empathy, tolerance, insight, patience, and persistence to government — the qualities we naturally have or have had to develop because of our suppression by men. The women of a nation mold its morals, its religion, and its politics by the lives they live. At present, our country needs women’s idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.1. 我是首位当选国会议员的黑人妇女，这使我成了一种独特的现象。

Level7——unit1——card3How I held my breath for 17 minutesAs a magician, I try to create images that make people stop and think. I also try to challenge myself to do things that doctors say are not possible. I was buried alive in New York City in a coffin, buried alive in a coffin in April, 1999, for a week. I lived there with nothing but water. And it ended up being so much fun that I decided I could pursue doing more of these things. The next one is I froze myself in a block of ice for three days and three nights in New York City. That one was way more difficult than I had expected. The one after that, I stood on top of a hundred foot pillar for 36 hours. I began to hallucinate so hard that the buildings that were behind me started to look like big animal heads.作为一个魔术师，我总是尝试去创造一个现象可以让人们驻足思考。
我也试着挑战自己做一些医生看来不可能的事情。
我曾于1999年4月，被埋在纽约一口棺材里整整一个星期。
着一个礼拜仅靠水存活下来。
但结果是我从中获得极大的乐趣。
于是我决定去追求实现更多这样的事。
下一次就是我把自己冻在一个大冰块里整整三天三夜，地点是纽约。
那次要比我想象的困难许多。
接下来的一次，我站在一百多英尺高的柱子顶端整整36个小时。
快结束时我开始产生非常强烈的幻觉以至于我觉得身后的建筑看起来像巨型动物的头。
So, next I went to London. In London I lived in a glass box for 44 days with nothing but water. It was, for me, one of the most difficult things I'd ever done, but it was also the most beautiful. There was so many skeptics, especially the press in London, that they started flying cheeseburgers on helicopters around my box to tempt me. So, I felt veryvalidated when the New England Journal of Medicine actually used the research for science.后来，我去了伦敦。
在伦敦，我在一个玻璃箱里生存了44天也是除了水什么都没有。
对于我来说，这次是所有挑战中最艰难的一次，但它仍然是非常美好的一次历程。
当时有许多持怀疑态度的人，尤其是伦敦的记者们，他们坐直升机徘徊在我的玻璃箱周围到处扔汉堡引诱我。
我通过这次活动被认可而感到非常高兴，事实上新英格兰医学杂志还以此作为研究供科学参考。
My next pursuit was I wanted to see how long I could go without breathing, like how long I could survive with nothing, not even air. I didn't realize that it would become the most amazing journey of my life.我的下一个追求便是想试试不呼吸能坚持多久，也就是说什么都没有的情况下我能活多久，甚至没有空气。
我并没有意识到，这一次成就了我生命中最美妙的旅程。
As a young magician I was obsessed with Houdini and his underwater challenges. So, I began, early on, competing against the other kids, seeing how long I could stay underwater while they went up and down to breathe, you know, five times, while I stayed under on one breath. By the time I was a teenager I was able to hold my breath for three minutes and 30 seconds. I would later find out that was Houdini's personal record.作为一个年轻的魔术师我沉迷于霍迪尼和他在水下屏气挑战。
孩童时候，我就开始与其他的孩子们比试，看可以在水下待多久，当他们得反复探头出水面呼吸，大概5次之多，我却可以一直待在水下，完全不需要换气。
当我是青少年的时候我已经可以水下屏气达3分30秒之久，后来我才发现那就是霍迪尼的个人纪录。
02:24In 1987 I heard of a storyabout a boy that fell through ice and was trapped under a river.He was underneath, not breathing for 45 minutes.When the rescue workerscame,they resuscitated him and there was no brain damage.His core temperature had dropped to 77 degrees.As a magician, I think everything is possible.And I think if something is done by one person,it can be done by others.I started to think,if the boycould survive without breathing for that long,there must be a way that I could do it.在1987年，我听说了一个故事，一个男孩掉进冰封的河里，困于河底。
他45分钟内没有呼吸。
当救援人员赶到抢救并唤醒他时，发现他并没有脑损伤，他的心脏温度降至77度。
作为一个魔术师，我相信一切皆有可能。
我认为如果某个人可以做到某件事，那么任何人都可以做到。
我开始思索，如果这个男孩可以如此长时间不呼吸而活下来，那么必定有某种途径让我也可以做到。
03:03So, I met with a top neurosurgeon.And I asked him, how long is it possible to go without breathing,like how long could I go without air?And he said to me that anything over six minutesyou have a serious risk of hypoxic brain damage.So, I took that as a challenge, basically.03:22(Laughter)03:24My first try, I figured that I could do something similar,and I created a water tank,and I filled it with ice and freezing cold water.And I stayed inside of that water tankhoping my core temperature would start to drop.And I was shivering.In my first attempt to hold my breath, I couldn't even last a minute.So, I realized that was completely not going to work.03:50I went to talk to a doctor friend --and I asked him, "How could I do that?""I want to hold my breath for a really long time. How could it be done?"And he said, "David, you're a magician,create the illusion of not breathing, it will be much easier."04:09(Laughter)04:12So, he came up with this idea of creating a rebreather,with a CO2 scrubber,which was basically a tube from Home Depot,with a balloon duct-taped to it,that he thought we could put inside of me,and somehow be able to circulate the air and rebreathewith this thing in me.This is a little hard to watch.But this is that attempt.So, that clearly wasn't going to work.04:51(Laughter)04:55Then I actually started thinking about liquid breathing.There is a chemical that's called perflubron.And it's so high in oxygen levels that in theory you could breathe it.So, I got my hands on that chemical,filled the sink up with it, and stuck my face in the sinkand tried to breathe that in, which was really impossible.It's basically like trying to breathe, as a doctor said,while having an elephant standing on your chest.So, that idea disappeared.05:23Then I started thinking,would it be possible to hook up a heart/lung bypass machineand have a surgery where it was a tube going into my artery,and then appear to not breathe while they were oxygenating my blood?Which was another insane idea, obviously.05:41Then I thought about the craziest idea of all the ideas:to actually do it.05:48(Laughter)05:49To actually try to hold my breath past the pointthat doctors would consider you brain dead.So, I started researching into pearl divers.You know, because they go down for four minutes on one breath.And when I was researching pearl divers, I found the world offree-diving.It was the most amazing thing that I ever discovered, pretty much.There is many different aspects to free-diving.There is depth records, where people go as deep as they can.And then there is static apnea.That's holding your breath as long as you canin one place without moving.That was the one that I studied.06:29The first thing that I learned is when you're holding your breath,you should never move at all; that wastes energy.And that depletes oxygen,and it builds up CO2 in your blood.So, I learned never to move.And I learned how to slow my heart rate down.I had to remain perfectly still and just relaxand think that I wasn't in my body, and just control that.And then I learned how to purge.Purging is basically hyperventilating.You blow in and out --06:55(Breathing loudly)07:00You do that, you get lightheaded, you get tingling.And you're really ridding your body of CO2.So, when you hold your breath, it's infinitely easier.Then I learned that you have to take a huge breath,and just hold and relax and never let any air out,and just hold and relax through all the pain.07:20Every morning, this is for months,I would wake up and the first thing that I would dois I would hold my breathfor, out of 52 minutes, I would hold my breath for 44 minutes.So, basically what that means is I would purge,I'd breathe really hard for a minute.And I would hold, immediately after, for five and a half minutes.Then I would breathe again for a minute, purging as hard as I can,then immediately after that I would hold again for five and a half minutes.I would repeat this process eight times in a row.Out of 52 minutes, you're only breathing for eight minutes.At the end of that you're completely fried, your brain.You feel like you're walking around in a daze.And you have these awful headaches.Basically, I'm not the best person to talk to when I'm doing that stuff.08:05I started learning about the world-record holder.His name is Tom Sietas.And this guy is perfectly built for holding his breath.He's six foot four. He's 160 pounds.And his total lung capacity is twice the size of an average person.I'm six foot one, and fat.We'll saybig-boned.08:27(Laughter)08:29I had to drop 50 pounds in three months.So, everything that I put into my body, I considered as medicine.Every bit of food was exactly what it was for its nutritional value.Iate really small controlled portions throughout the day.And I started to really adapt my body.08:50[Individual results may vary]08:52(Laughter)08:55The thinner I was, the longer I was able to hold my breath.And by eating so well and training so hard,my resting heart-rate dropped to 38 beats per minute.Which is lower than most Olympic athletes.In four months of training,I was able to hold my breath for over seven minutes.I wanted to try holding my breath everywhere.I wanted to try it in the most extreme situationsto see if I could slow my heart rate down under duress.09:23(Laughter)09:27I decided that I was going to break the world record live on prime-time television.The world record was eight minutes and 58 seconds,held by Tom Sietas, that guy with thewhale lungs I told you about.I assumed that I could put a water tank at Lincoln Centerand if I stayed there a week not eating,I would get comfortable in that situation and I would slow my metabolism,which I was sure would help me hold my breathlonger than I had been able to do it.I was completely wrong.09:59I entered the sphere a week before the scheduled air date.And I thought everything seemed to be on track.Two days before my big breath-hold attempt, for the record,the producers of my television specialthought that just watching somebody holding their breath, and almost drowning,is too boring for television.10:21(Laughter)10:23So, I had to add handcuffs, while holding my breath, to escape from.This was a critical mistake.Because of the movement, I was wasting oxygen.And by seven minutes I had gone into these awful convulsions.By 7:08, I started to black out.And by seven minutes and 30 seconds,they had to pull my body out and bring me back.I had failed on every level.10:59(Laughter)11:01So, naturally, the only way out of the slump that I could think of was,I decided to call Oprah.11:09(Laughter)11:13I told her that I wanted to up the anteand hold my breath longer than any human being ever had.This was a different record.This was a pure O2 static apnea recordthat Guinness had set the world record at 13 minutes.So, basically you breathe pure O2 first, oxygenating your body, flushing out CO2,and you are able to hold much longer.I realized that my real competition was the beaver.11:42(Laughter)11:47(Laughter ends)In January of '08,Oprah gave me four months to prepare and train.So, I would sleep in a hypoxic tent every night.A hypoxic tent is a tent that simulates altitude at 15,000 feet.So, it's like base camp, Everest.What that does is, you start building up the red bloodcell count in your body,which helps you carry oxygen better.Every morning, again, after getting out of that tent,your brain is completely wiped out.My first attempt on pure O2, I was able to go up to 15 minutes.So, it was a pretty big success.12:27The neurosurgeon pulled me out of the waterbecause in his mind, at 15 minutes your brain is done, you're brain dead.So, he pulled me up, and I was fine.There was one person there that was definitely not impressed.It was my ex-girlfriend.While I was breaking the record underwater for the first time,she was sifting through my Blackberry, checking all my messages.12:50(Laughter)12:53My brother had a picture of it. It is really --(Laughter)12:59(Laughter ends)13:00I then announced that I was going to go for Sietas' record, publicly.And what he did in response, is he went on Regis and Kelly,and broke his old record.Then his main competitor went out and broke his record.So, he suddenly pushed the record up to 16 minutes and 32 seconds.Which was three minutes longer than I had prepared.It was longer than the record.13:27I wanted to get the Science Times to document this.I wanted to get them to do a piece on it.So, I did what any personseriously pursuing scientific advancement would do.I walked into the New York Times offices and did card tricks to everybody.13:45(Laughter)A journey through fascinating ideas and new ways to think and create!So, I don't know if it was the magic or the lure of the Cayman Islands,but John Tierney flew downand did a piece on the seriousness of breath-holding.13:57While he was there, I tried to impress him, of course.And I did a dive down to 160 feet,which is basically the height of a 16 story building,and as I was coming up, I blacked out underwater,which is really dangerous; that's how you drown.Luckily, Kirk had seen me and he swam over and pulled me up.14:15So, I started full focus.I completely trained to get my breath-hold time upfor what I needed to do.But there was no way to prepare for the live television aspect of it,being on Oprah.But in practice, I would do it face down, floating on the pool.But for TV they wanted me to be upright so they could see my face, basically.The other problem was the suit was so buoyantthat they had to strap my feet in to keep me from floating up.So, I had to use my legs to hold my feet into the straps that were loose,which was a real problem for me.That made me extremely nervous, raising the heart rate.14:57Then, what they also did was,which we never did before, is there was a heart-rate monitor.And it was right next to the sphere.So, every time my heart would beat, I'd hear the beep-beep-beep-beep,you know, the ticking, really loud.Which was making me more nervous.And there was no way to slow my heart rate down.Normally, I would start at 38 beats per minute,and while holding my breath, it would drop to 12 beats per minute,which is pretty unusual.15:26(Laughter)15:32This time it started at 120 beats, and it never went down.I spent the first five minutes underwaterdesperately trying to slow my heart rate down.I was just sitting there thinking,"I've got to slow this down. I'm going to fail."And I was getting more nervous.And the heart rate just kept going up and up,all the way up to 150 beats.Basically it's the same thing that created my downfall at Lincoln Center.It was a waste of O2.When I made it to the halfway mark, at eight minutes,I was 100 percent certainthat I was not going to be able to make this.There was no way for me to do it.16:13I figured, Oprah had dedicated an hour to doing this breath-hold thing, if I had cracked early,it would be a whole show about how depressed I am.16:22(Laughter)16:24So, I figured I'm better off just fighting and staying there until I black out,at least then they can pull me out and take care of me and all that.16:31(Laughter)16:35I kept pushing to 10 minutes.At 10 minutes you start getting all these really strong tingling sensationsin your fingers and toes.And I knew that that was blood shunting,when the blood rushes away from your extremitiesto provide oxygen to your vital organs.At 11 minutes I started feeling throbbing sensations in my legs,and my lips started to feel really strange.17:00At minute 12 I started to have ringing in my ears,and I started to feel my arm going numb.And I'm a hypochondriac, and I remember arm numb means heart attack.So, Istarted to really get really paranoid.Then at 13 minutes, maybe because of the hypochondria,I started feeling pains all over my chest.It was awful.17:23At 14 minutes, I had these awful contractions,like this urge to breathe.17:37At 15 minutes I was suffering major O2 deprivation to the heart.And I started having ischemia to the heart.My heartbeat would go from 120 to 50,to 150, to 40, to 20, to 150 again.It would skip a beat.It would start. It would stop. And I felt all this.And I was sure that I was going to have a heart attack.18:00So, at 16 minutes what I did is I slid my feet outbecause I knew that if I did go out, if I did have a heart attack,they'd have to jump into the binding and take my feet outbefore pulling me up.I was really nervous.I let my feet out, and I started floating to the top.And I didn't take my head out.But I was just floating there waiting for my heart to stop,just waiting.18:21They had doctors with the "Pst," you know, sitting there waiting.And then suddenly I hear screaming.And I think that there is some weird thing --that I had died or somethinghad happened.And then I realized that I had made it to 16:32.So, with the energy of everybody that was there,I decided to keep pushing.And I went to 17 minutes and four seconds.18:43(Applause)As though that wasn't enough, what I did immediately afteris I went to Quest Labsand had them take every blood sample that they couldto test for everything and to see where my levels were,so the doctors could use it, once again.I also didn't want anybody to question it.I had the world record and I wanted to make sure it was legitimate.So, I get to New York City the next day,I'm walking out of the Apple store,and this kid walks up to me he's like, "Yo, D!"I'm like "Yeah?"He said, "If you really held your breath that long,why'd you come out of the water dry?"I was like "What?"19:27(Laughter)19:29And that's my life. So --19:31(Laughter)19:36As a magician, I try to show things to peoplethat seem impossible.And I think magic,whether I'm holding my breath or shuffling a deck of cards,is pretty simple.It's practice, it's training, and it's -- (Sobs)It's practice, it's training and experimenting, 19:54(Sobs)19:55while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be.And that's what magic is to me, so, thank you.20:02(Applause)。
