痛苦的奴隶生活坚定了亨森为自由而战的决心。他获得自由后不久就成了一个帮助逃跑奴隶的组织中的一员。他几次偷偷地从加拿大回到美国帮助其他奴隶通过地下铁路获得自由。有一次在逃跑时亨森和几个逃跑的奴隶被捕捉奴隶的人包围。他将逃跑的奴隶乔装打扮一番，成功地躲避了追捕。另外，他后来在加拿大的得累斯顿为逃跑的奴隶建造了一个居住小区，并建了教堂和学校，逃跑的奴隶们在这里能够学到有用的谋生之道。他坚信奴隶制将被废除，所有奴隶终将获得解放，种族歧视消失的那一天一定会到来。

Henson s painful life as a slave strengthened his determination to struggle for freedom.Shortly after he achieved freedom he became a member of an organization that assisted fugitive slaves.He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom.Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run.He disguised them and successfully avoided capture.In addition,later he built a small settlement in

UNIT 3

人们几乎没法将蓄意行窃的盗贼拒之门外。所能做的只是设法阻拦他片刻, 从而使其暴露在巡警( police patrol ) 面前。常识告诉我们, 光照是犯罪行为的障碍物。家门口必须安装一盏灯,并在晚间开着。如果你碰巧是最晚一个回家，别只关门而不上锁。如果你决定购买精密的电子报警系统，别忘了索要报警器的标志，并把它张贴在窗户和门上。此外，你还可以将报警系统连接到警署。

It is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is to discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Make sure/assure yourself that you don t leave the door on the latch if you happen to be the last to come in. If you decide to buy a sophisticated electronic alarm system, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. In addition, you may have it hooked up to a police station.

Unit4

2005年最不寻常的事也许是联合国宣布这一年为世界物理学年。这一年是爱因斯坦发表相对论100周年，也是他去世50周年。1905年，爱因斯坦发表了五篇科学史上非常重要的论文，从而使物理学发生了突破性进展。他的伟大成就可归之于他令人惊叹的想象力、不断地质疑和对权威的漠视。毫无疑问，爱因斯坦是20世纪最伟大的科学家。

What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the United Nations declared it The World Year of Physics . It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein s theory of relativity and the 50th anniversary of his death. In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievement can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century。

UNIT 5

在感恩节的气氛中，乔治并没有跟朋友们一起庆祝节日，却沉浸于阅读他父亲留给他的日记。他的父亲在连续再次完成环球旅行后在海上去世。这份日记使他回忆起自己与父亲一起度过的每一刻以及父亲为他所做的许多具体事情。乔治的父亲过去经常向他强调必须经历各种艰难困苦去追求卓越(EXCELLENCE)。他还教导他世界上没有理所当然的东西。即使今天，他依然
