It is important because it contains a great of evidence about how people in asociety lived their everyday lives.2. The Garbage Project carried out by the University of Arizon. It studies thegarbage in city rubbish dumps to find evidence of the lifestyle of the local population. It started in 1973 in Tucson, but has now expanded to many other cities and has built a huge database of information on most aspects of modern American life.3. The garbage is sorted into a variety of categories (food items, dangerousmaterials, personal items etc.)4. This is because when there is shortage of something, people try to hoardlarge supplies of the item. They may bury too much. This frequently means that the item needs to be thrown away before it can be used---perhaps because of a shortage of storage space or because it starts to perish.5. There are two reasons for this. The first is that people do not want to beseen as wasteful when it comes to food. They think they throw away less food than they actually do. The other reason is that they know they should be eating less junk food and more healthy food, but in fact the evidence from the garbage is that they eat more junk food. They are not deliberately lying;they just have an inaccurate impression of their own eating habits.6. The Garbage Project can give a clear impression of how people live andbehave.Part B: true or false1. F2. F3. T4. F5. F6. TCorrections1. It was started in Arizona, but has now expanded to cover many otherAmerican cities and Mexico City as well.2. There are too many households in Tucson to collect from each and everyone. Therefore, only a sample of households had their rubbish collected.Also, there is no time specified in the text, it simply says“over a period of time‖.4.The passage does not specify the quantity of Mexican sugar found --- simply that was found in Tucson when there was a sugar shortage. There is no evidence that it tasted bad.5. The evidence shows that poor people buy smaller packets of food and not the larger economy packets (which more wealthy families bought). They may have wanted to buy the more economical larger packets but could not afford the larger outlay of money.Developing your skillsPart A: identifying purposes of readingSituation 1Your purpose in reading the text would be to gain a general overview of all respects of the project. The project itself would be the focus of your reading and other elements in the text would be skimmed through.Situation 2In this case, you would only focus on the sections of the text which outlined how the project was carried out---i.e. the methodology they used. You would have little interest in the other, more general, sections of the text. Even when the methodology is not directly stated, while reading you would be trying to interpret the methodology used.Situation 3In this case, you would not be directly interested in the project itself, but more in the findings of the project. You may not even want to mention the project in your article.Extending your vocabularyPart A: Antonyms and synonyms1. Rubbish, waste, junk, refuse.2. Discard.3. Junk food.4. Partially.5. Exotic.6.

A castle was a very strong building specially built to keep the people insidesafe and secure. The expression, therefore, means that the home is a place where the owner feels safe from the outside world and where the outside world cannot enter without his permission. He is protected and secure there.This is a very common expression used to describe the attitude of English peoples towards their homes. It may also link with ideas about privacy: many British people like to think of their home as being a private place which others can’t simply just walk into without permission; inside the family they can do as they wish, without being bothered by outsiders.2. One reason is that the house costs so much to buy that it makes goodsense to maintain it and even improve it as possible(both to make it wortheven more if it is sold and to improve the comfort and space if not). The other reason is that the home is, in a way, a reflection of the owner. How the house looks to other people, tells them something about the person who owns it---therefore the owner wants to make sure it reflects a good image of his or her self. The better the house look, the better the owners feel about their status.3. It is a loan from a bank or other financial company that is used specifically tobuy a house. It is paid back through monthly payments (with interest) over a number of years---often over as many as 25 years.4. Before the industrial revolution, the home was much more than simply ahouse that you happened to be living in at that time. It had a history of family life, of ancestors, of relatives and probably of having the same neighbors for generations. After the industrial revolution, people have to move and the home became more of a place that you were living in at that time and many of the other traditions were lost.5. Trading up means buying a house that is relatively cheap, keeping it for afew years until its value has increased (and also the owner’s assets), and then selling it to buy a more expensive property. This process is repeated several times over, each property being more expensive than the one before.Trading up only works in times of inflation or progressive increases in property values; if prices were stable over many years, trading up would be unlikely to happen much.Developing your skillExtending your vocabulary Part A: Antonyms and synonymsPart B: Cloze passagetrend; spectacularly; compelling; milial; run down; bricks and mortar; outstrips Unit 8Understanding the textPart A: Sequencing1.

The expression is not being used in its usual meaning of money lasting longer as things are so cheap.4. to be very careful when reading advertisements and always try to check the information froman independent source before you buy whatever is being advertised.Part C Interpreting the text1.The writer is trying to say that advertising is often very misleading and, in some cases,“legalized lying”. The advertising brochure for Bantu Island is obviously very misleading --- and, although nothing it says is actually a lie, it could be argued that it does not represent the truth.2.Because once they got to the island and saw what it was like, they would not want to go onany tours.3.No, it was very carefully worded so that it would be difficult to prove it told any lies ----simply did not tell the whole truth or misled the reader in different ways. For example, the resort does have a swimming pool (and even a paddling pool) --- it does not actually say that they don’t have any water; it does say that sea creatures abound, it does not say that are sharks, etc.4.We should look carefully at things that seem attractive (and cheap). There is often a problemthat is not obvious. This might also apply to other things, such as a motor vehicle, a new apartment, “special offers” on CDs, books, etc.Developing your skillsBrochure Newspaper______________________________________________________________________________A Once in a Lifetime Holiday A “Never-To-Repeated” Holiday(This means sth very special – so (This means it only happens once because Layout special it cannot ever be repeated.) it was so bad you would never do it again.)A Holiday for All the Family A “Holiday” for Nobody_______________________________________________________________________________ sea creatures sharksbrand-new half-builtcooled blastedrare They don’t existIt omits any details of the size, etc.Choices of of the attractions (e.g. Lake Tali).Information No mention of having to wash ina small stream (i.e. no plumbingor washing facilities in the hotel)._______________________________________________________________________________ … you won’t have a penny more A “Holiday” for Nobody --- the invertedto pay! --- The exclamation mark is commas indicate that the writer feels thesupposed to show the reader what a word “Holiday” is not the correct word.wonderful deal she/he is getting with The “ Beauties of Bantu Island” --- againthe holiday.

江西高二高中语文期中考试带答案解析
江西高二高中语文期中考试班级:___________ 姓名:___________ 分数:___________一、现代文阅读1.阅读下面的文字,完成下面小题。
传统的艺术创作理论通常不以创意为中心,更加强调创作的技巧、素材等一些工具性问题。
而在创意写作视野中,创意是第一性,写作是第二性的。
创意写作学认为,创意最初从写作者的意识转化为笔端的文字,这个过程是“一度创意”。
一度创意是原生态(文字态、文案态)的创意,一部分是直接以文字的形式直接产业化的,另外一部分也无法以其原初的面目进入市场(如舞台剧本等),还有相当一部分是无法产业化的(如很多没有市场的纯文学作品)。
“一度创意”常常并不以它本来的面目进入市场,它需要通过一定的转化,如转化为符合产业要求的创意形态(舞台剧、广告、电影等)。
这种转化,并不是对大众趣味的简单迎合或者样态的简单变化,而是一个再创意过程,我们称它为“二度创意”。
创意写作主张拓展文学领域,将文化创意产业的视角纳入其中,这样,创意写作学就将对“创意”的研究,拓展到了传统的艺术创作论之外,将其引申向产业态创意——“二度创意”。
传统的文学理论家伊瑟尔认为作者创作完成的文学文本是不完整的,其中充满了空白,这些空白,需要依靠读者的想象去完成。
而只有当读者填补了这些空白,一部文学作品才算真正地完成。
伊瑟尔的观点为我们研究文学创意的产业化提供了思路和理论基础:创意写作也将是作者、读者和消费者共同参与的结果,文学创意要进入市场,实现产业化,创作者必须充分重视消费者的参与地位。
文学正是因为其创意本质,才具有产业化可能。
产业化过程本质是“一度创意”向“二度创意”的转化,这才使得文学从文字态转化为影视、戏剧、摄影等形式,从而使文学能与市场经济更紧密结合,推动文化经济的发展;另一方面,文化创意产业的不断深入,又反过来促进文学创意的不断涌现。
文学创意离不开文化创意产业,文化创意产业非但不会扼杀文学,反而会使文学重获新生,更加繁荣。

The author seems to have some optimism about being fifty.● It is a reference to different perspectives, different attitudes of various ages to “age”.11.●People may think that being old is a misery, but having the years of experience old people help you to live your life in a better way. An alternative interpretation is that it is not simply the old age which makes old people feel miserable. It is the accumulation of their experiences which make them miserable. The second interpretation of a rather wry joke.●Perhaps either as a joke or as a serious (but pessimistic) comment of life, almost certainly made by an older person.● It could reflect a humorous, philosophical, non-serious view; or the opposite, a mournful cry.12.● Experience (“living long”) teaches us how to live well.● Again, perhaps it is more likely to be written than spoken.● Experience over many years is seen as blessings and benefits.13.● Enjoy your youth and make the most of the opportunities which come your way; then, when you are older, you don’t have any regrets that you wasted it.●An older person -----perhaps a parent ----to a younger people; the comment shows wry humor by suggesting that the main preoccupation older people in that they lament their lost youth.● He /She sees youth as priceless and not to be wasted.14.● The general, meaning is that people change as they grow older .the specific meaning of each stage depends on how people understand the metaphors of the animals (and this varies in different cultures). A likely Spanish interpretation is : at twenty people are concerned with their appearance ,at thirty they are brave , at forty they carry heavy burdens ,at fifty they twist and turn and can’t be trusted , at sixty they are loyal ,at seventy they are wise ,at eighty they are nothing .●As it’s rather long, it is more likely to be part of a written paper . Now it could be said by anybody au any stage but probably originally it was written by an older person.●Perhaps it reflects a cynical attitude to the way peopledevelop .perhaps students might here be asked to explain what each of the different creatures at the various stages of life represents in Chinese or other culture.15.● The tide “ebbs” (i.e. its strength and power is lessened) and human beings get older and become less strong. The tide returns as strong as ever and other people are young and their tide is rising.● Spoken or read in a poem.●Perhaps said by someone who, though he /she feels sad, can rationalize and see that there is no reason to be sad.Expanding your vocabulary1 breakthrough noun2 dramatically adverb3 dietary supplements noun4 extended verb5 passively adverb6 contracting noun(gerund)7 eternal adjective8 boosting noun(gerund)9 normally adverb10 controversial adjectiveFurther information● The child is the father of the manChildren grow up to become adults and what happens in childhood is vitally important because adults develop on the basis of their childhood. Just as a child inherits genetics from their parents, the stage of early childhood for an individual is the social “inheritance” of each adult -----this is the basis for the development of the rest of their life (when the child becomes “the man”). Parents have children who grow up; however, children also grow up to become parents, who have children in their turn who also become parents …●Bad is never good until worse happens.When something bad happens it is difficult to see anything good about it .But when something even worse happens, what we thought was bad before doesn’t look so bad after all .Of course, what is “worse”may also seem not so bad when something worse still happens! Our perceptions of what are bad or good events are relative to their events.●Everything changes except change itself.Change is in everything .Only the law that everything changes does not change. On the other hand, if everything changes this should include change itself (the nature of particular changes should change or even the very nature of change itself.) If change changes then this must include no change which would be a change from changing .If change does not change, then there is something to which the law of change does not apply ----which means that not everything changes.●All rules have exceptions, including this one.A rule is general statement .It may include everything in its scope or it may have its exceptions .The problem here is that if the rule is that “all rules have exceptions ” ,then there are exceptions to the rule that “all rules have exceptions ”: does this mean that the rule isn’t a rule or that the exception isn’t an exception or that the exception to the rule that “all rules have exceptions” means that there are no exceptions ,including the exceptions to the rule that “all rules have exceptions ”…?● A sadist is a person who is kind to a masochist.A sadist is someone who gets pleasure from hurting or being cruel to someone else. A masochist is someone who gets pleasure from being hurt. We expect the sadist to be nasty to others, including being nasty to the masochist. But the sadist knows that the masochist wants to be hurt, so being kind to the masochist (who expects to be hurt by the sadist) is a way for the sadist to get pleasure. The problem now is that the sadist is getting pleasure by not hurting someone (which means that the sadist isn’t being a sadist .)A second problem is that the masochist may be getting pleasure by anticipating being hurt (which he enjoys and looks forward to )and may therefore be getting pleasure from the kindness of the sadist (who as the masochist knows ,wants to hurt the masochist )because he anticipates being hurt by not being hurt yet (which means that the masochist isn’t being a masochist ).● Nothing is enough for the person to whom enough is too little .Some people are greedy .They want more than others .they want more than the amount which would satisfy others (and be enough for them ). So for the greedy person “enough” (for others) is always too little (for the greedy one ). So there is never “enough ”and “nothing is enough ”for the greedy person; this means there is no “enough ”.But the problem is that it may also mean that if greedy person has “nothing”. It is “enough” (because “nothing is enough”), in which case the person is not greedy and is, in fact, satisfied with nothing (since he has “nothing” which is “enough”).● If the rich could hire other people to die for them, the poor couldmake a wonderful living.Everybody die at some time .Rich people may wish to keep on living because they have lots of money to enjoy their life .So if the rich people could pay poor people to die for them ,then the rich people could keep on living for longer and keep on enjoying their life. The poor would make a living (i.e., earn money to live )by dying instead of the rich .Of course ,paying one poor person to die instead of therich person who is dying would not be enough because death is always waiting (for everybody, rich or poor),so the rich would have to keep on paying more and more poor people to die for them -----otherwise they can only postpone death for a short time .So now ,many poor people die(paid for by the rich )but the others who are still living get rich (keeping the money which their dead poor relatives received from the rich ). But these new rich people (who were poor before) will die ----unless they pay poor people to die for them. If they do so, the poor relatives of those poor ones who die for the new rich will themselves eventually become rich and will need to pay other poor people to die for them if they wish to keep on living.Unit 5Understanding the text1.d)2.● Exercise● Diet● Self-discipline● Sleep3. a 8b 2c 7d 4e 9Developing your skillPart Ait(pronoun)this(pronoun)they(pronoun)such pensionable oldies(wordsubjection)Part B2. couple (ws: a man and a woman)3.

Therefore, vaccinations must have been developed in the 10th century.●False teeth were developed by unknown Etruscans(ancient Italians)This is obviously one of the two developments and they probably did this in 700 B.C. because the Etruscans were an ancient civilization.●Vaccinations were developed by a Chinese.The Chinese developed vaccinations in the 10th century and therefore the developer is one of the three unknowns.With your partner discuss:● ----Aspirin might be the most widely used because it is available inthe supermarket; it is inexpensive and is used in many common less serious medical conditions.-----Glasses are also very widely used .however, not all of population suffers from visual problems. Vaccinations are also widely used but require a specialist to administer them. What’s more, many vaccines only need administering once in a lifetime.-----The EEC would also be widely used in western countries where technology is readily available and heart disease more prevalent but it would be mainly used with older parties.-----False limbs might be the least frequently used as their application is very specific to amputees and those with congenital deformities .These days doctors try to avoid amputation if possible and birth defects are less frequent aswell .However, they are very important in those countries where there are wars , especially where there are landmines .● Perhaps vaccinations because they prevent simple disease frombecoming fatal epidemic. We tend to take them for granted.● Before the age of the printing press, there were fewer historicalrecords and literacy was not as common. Much information about ancientcivilizations still remains a mystery.●“necessity is the mother of invention.”The developers must have beenin critical need of the medical breakthroughs.

AIn April this year, lots of bags full of small change(零钱) were seen at bus stops in Tianjin. They were made for passengers to turn their notes into small change. And such an idea came from four students from Zhongbei Middle School, Tianjin.“People will surely feel worried when they take a bus without coins. We just want to do something to help them,” said Wang Yongcun, 15, one of the four students.The four boys spent their whole weekend making the change bags. After that they went to see the number of the passengers at each bus stop near their school, and then chose the top six stops to put the bags.Many people think that the four boys have really done a good job. But, things didn’t go as the boys thought. Two days later, they found that the money was gone, and that even the bags were taken. It really made them sad but they would not give up. Their classmates and teachers came to help them in time. They put their pocket money in bags again. And the teachers also taught them to make better change bags.

教师们则认为如果他们能够将使一位好的语言学习者学习效率高的行为表现归纳出来,那么他们就能够将其告知那些不太成功的语言学习者?从而改进他们的学习。
那么。
好的语言学习者和一般的或者比较差的语言学习者在行为表现上有什么不同呢?顺便说一下。
你也许会觉得我们将要进行的讨论不仅可以用来区分好的和差的语言学习者。
而且也可以用来区分其他任何专业或技能的好学生与差学生。
首先,最值得注意的一个重要表现是好的语言学习者都具有创新精神,他们爱拿语言做实验。
他们的态度似乎是“我要试一试,看这种方法是否奏效,如果不行——也没关系——我总是可以重新试一试的”。
好的语言学习者试着把他们在课堂上学到的语言“碎片”(结构和一些词汇)融合在一起。
好的语言学习者对他们所学的语言和他们自己都显示出一种开放而且宽容的态度。
这样的学习者也乐于冒险。
如果要求他们在同学们面前讲新学的语言,他们会尽最大的努力去控制紧张情绪。
如果老师用了生词和新句型。
他们就会试着将以前所学的语言和这些新的内容联系起来。
换句话说,好的语言学习者能够在不太确定的条件下学习。
另一点和好的语言学习者的创造性和冒险精神息息相关的是他们能够意识到哪种具体的学习方法和技巧对自己行之有效。
例如,一些学习者喜欢用押韵和词语联想等技巧来记住所学内容,而另一些人则使用词汇笔记或写日记的办法.这些并不是老师要求他们做的,而是他们自己发现这些是行之有效的学习方法。
许多学习者讨厌犯错误。
他们觉得难堪,而且经常认为他们永远也学不会正确地使用这门语言。
好的语言学习者则不同。
他们不会因为犯错误而沮丧,相反地,他们会利用错误。
在学语言,甚至任何技术的过程中,犯错是很自然的,好的学习者将犯错视为学习过程中一个建设性的部分。

The aging process is important in fighting cancer, because proteins which destroy cancer cells also cause aging.Q5A5. Yes, they are very important. Research shows that healthy food, low stress and an outdoor lifestyle are best for long life.Part C: Contexts and implicationsEnglish Proverbs1. You are as old as you feel.● Your feelings about yourself are very important; ninety-year-old people can feel and act like fifty year olds if they have the right attitude to life.● Somebody might say this to cheer another person up or to encourage the person to feel better about himself or herself.● The speaker probably has an optimistic ( and young ) feeling about life.2. Life begins at forty.● Forty isn't "old" , it's simply a "birth" into a new stage of life.● It might be said to someone approaching his or her fortieth birthday.● He or she doesn't fear being forty, doesn't think forty is old, and thinks of "middle age" as being the beginning of an interesting stage of life when he or she can do new things.3. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their ideals.● Years aren't important; preserving youthful idealism is more important.● In a debate about the problems of agin g , for example.● Youthful ideals should be kept throughout the whole of life; if you keep these ideals, you can stay young in your attitude.4. Youth looks forward but age looks back.● Young people anticipate the future with pleasure; older people reminisce about their youth.● Perhaps in a situation when someone is reflecting seriously about life.● It's a philosophical, analytical comment about attitudes.5. It's not how old you are, but how you are old.● Age is not important; your attitude towards your age and life in general is crucial.● In a situation to encourage somebody to be more optimistic toward s life.● The speaker is almost certainly optimistic; the suggestion is that there are many ways to be oldand some of them are good.6. He that in youth no virtue uses, in age all honor him refuses.● Be virtuous when you are young if you want respect lat er in life.● Perhaps in a context where an older person wants to give friendly advice to a youngster when the younger person is wondering about the right course of action.● The speaker sees a direct li nk between actions in youth and the consequences in later life.7. Young folk think old folk are fools, but old folk know young folk are fools.● Youngsters only have opinions; their elders know the truth through experience.● Perhaps in a social setting where people from different generations are teasing ea ch other.● The speaker almost certainly belongs to the older generation and is confident of his or her own superior knowledge.8. Old age doesn't seem so bad when you consider the alternative.● The only alternative is to die----because you cannot become young again.● As a joke or a humorous comment, perhaps after someone has said something negative about being old.● He /She certainly views aging in a positive light.9. An old person loved is winter with flowers. (German )● An old person who is loved ha s an extra bonus because love brightens their life; old age is like the winter of a person's life, but winter also has its beautiful or bright aspects, like flowers.● Perhaps it would be said to an older person, to remind him /her of life's blessings.● I t's a comment reflecting both joy and sadness; it recognizes that some old people enjoy the love of family, friends, neighbours, etc., but some are alone and lonely.10. Forty is the old age of youth, fifty is the youth of old age. ( French )● Young peopl e see forty as "old" , but older people see fifty as "young ".● This is perhaps more likely to be written rather than spoken ----perhaps in an essay. The writer seems to have some optimism about being fifty.● It is a reference to different perspectives, different attitudes of various ages to "age ".11. Old age is not misery, experience helps. (Greek )● People may think that being old is a misery, but having the years of experience of old people helps you to live your life in a better way. An alternative interpretation is that it is not simply old age which makes older people miserable, it is the accumulation of their experiences which make them miserable. The second interpretation is a rather wry joke.● Perhaps either as a joke or as a serious (but pes simistic) comment on life, almost certainly made by an old person.● It could reflect a humorous, philos ophical, non-serious view; or the opposite, a mournful cry.12. By living long we learn to live. (Italian )● Experience ("living long") teaches us how to live well.● Again, perhaps it is more likely to be written than spoken.● Experiences over many years are seen as blessings and benefits.13. If one knew the value of youth, there would be little to lament in old age. (Turkish )● Enjoy your youth an d make the most of the opportunities which come your way; then, when you are older, you won't have any regrets that you wasted it.● An older person ---- perhaps a parent ---- to a younger people; the comment also shows wry humour by suggesting that the main preoccupation of older people is that they lament their lostyouth.● He / She sees youth as priceless and not to be wasted.14. At twenty a person will be a peacock, at thirty a lion, at forty a camel, at fifty a snake, at sixtya dog, at seventy a monkey, and at eighty nothing at all. (Spanish )● The general meaning is that people change as they grow older. The specific meaning of each stage depends on how people understand the metaphors of the animals (and this varies in different cultures). A likely Spanish interpretation is: at twenty people are concerned with their appearance, at thirty they are brave, at forty they carry heavy burdens, at fifty they twist and turn and can't be trusted, at sixty they are loyal, at seventy they are wise, at eighty they are nothing.● As it's rather long, it is more likely to be part of a written paper. No w it could be said by anybody at any stage but probably originally it was written by an older person.● Perhaps it reflects a cynical attitude to the way people dev elop. Perhaps students might here be asked to explain what each of the different creatures at the various stages of life represent in Chinese or other cultures.15. Ebbtide has come to me as to the sea,Old age makes me bleed,Though I may sorrow over this,The tide returns happily. (Irish)● The tide "ebbs " (i.e. its strength and power is lessened) and human beings get older and become less strong. This makes "me" feel sad; but the sea is not sad because after it ebbs, the tide returns as strong as ever and other people are young and their tide is rising.● Spoken or read in a poem.● Perhaps said by someone who, though he/she feels sad, can ration alize and see that there is no reason to be sad.Extending your vocabularyFurther informationParadoxes: We age in order to live longerThe essential point for students to consider is that paradoxes express dilemmas, contradictions, uncertainties and ambiguities. Often paradoxes also give insights into the difficulties of life; they may express these difficulties with humour. Students may discuss the paradoxes in pairs ---- the main idea is to consider what they mean and to try to express the apparent contradictions. This is a useful and perhaps challenging task to think, through using English. The task does not necessarily require an elaborate grammar or the use of complex grammar. It does require logical and imaginative thinking and clear, perhaps simple, expression. Teachers may find it useful to ask students to work in pairs and choose different paradoxes and write down their thinking and explanations about them; later they can read their explanations (slowly) to the class, who may judge which is the explanation which best explores the paradox.Page 42● The child is the father of the man.Children grow up to become adults and what happens in childhood is vitally important because adults develop on the basis of their childhood. Just as a child inherits genetic characteristics from their parents, the stage of early childhood for an individual is the social "inheritance" of each adult ---- this is the basis for the development of the rest of their life (when the child becomes "the man"). Parents have children who grow up; however, children also grow up to become parents, who have children in their turn who also become parents...● Bad is never good until worse happens.When something bad happens it is difficult to see anything good about it. But when something even worse happens, what we thought was bad before doesn't look so bad after all. Of course, what is "worse" may also seem not so bad when something worse still happens! Our perceptions of what are bad or good events are relative to other events.● Everything changes except change itself.Change is in everything. Only the law that everything changes does not change. On the other hand, if everything changes, this should include change itself (the nature of particular changes should change or even the very nature of change itself). If change changes then this must include no change, which would be a change from changing. If change does not change, then there is something to which the law of change does not apply ---- which means that not everything changes.● All rules have exceptions, including this one.A rule is a general statement. It may include everything in its scope or it may have exceptions. The problem here is that if the rule is that "all rules have exceptions", then there are exceptions to the rule that "all rules have exceptions": Does this mean that the rule isn't a rule or that the exception isn't an exception or that the exception to the rule that "all rules have exceptions" means that there are no exceptions, including the exception to the rule that "all rules have exceptions "...?● A sadist is a person who is kind to a masochist.A sadist is someone who gets pleasure from hurting or being cruel to someone else. A masochist is someone who gets pleasure from being hurt. We expect the sadist to be nasty to others, including being nasty to the masochist. But the sadist knows that the masochist wants to be hurt, so being kind to the masochist (who expects to be hurt by the sadist) is a way for the sadist to get pleasure. The problem now is that the sadist is getting pleasure by not hurting someone (which means that the sadist isn't being a sadist). A second problem is that the masochist may be gettingpleasure by anticipating being hurt (which he enjoys and looks forward to) and may therefore be getting pleasure from the kindness of the sadist (who, as the masochist knows, wants to hurt the masochist) because he anticipates being hurt by not being hurt yet (which means that the masochist isn't being a masochist).● Nothing is enough for the person to whom enough is too little.Some people are greedy. They want more than others. They want more than the amount which would satisfy others. (and be enough for them). So for the greedy person "enough" ( for others) is always too little (for the greedy one). So there is never "enough" and "nothing is enough" for the greedy person; this means there is no "enough". But the problem is that it may also mean that if the greedy person has "nothing", it is "enough" ( because " nothing is enough") , in which case the person is not greedy and is , in fact, satisfied with nothing (since he has "nothing" which is "enough").● If the rich could hire other people to die for them, the poor could make a wonderful living.Everybody dies at some time. Rich people may wish to keep on living because they have lots of money to enjoy their life. So if the rich people could pay poor people to die for them, then the rich people could keep on living for longer and keep on enjoying their life. The poor would make a living (i.e. earn money to live) by dying instead of the rich. Of course, paying one poor person to die instead of the rich person who is dying would not be enough because death is always waiting (for everybody, rich or poor), so the rich would have to keep on paying more and more poor people to die for them ---- otherwise they can only postpone death for a short time. So the poor people can make a wonderful living because they will be continually paid money by the rich. But the poor only get this money if some of them keep dying. So now, many poor people die (paid for by the rich) but the others who are still living get rich (keeping the money which their dead poor relatives received from the rich). But these new rich people (who were poor before) will die ---- unless they pay poor people to die for them. If they do so, the poor relatives of those poor ones who die for the new rich will themselves eventually become rich and will need to pay other poor people to die for them if they wish to keep on living.Unit ThreeWords to note4,5,3,1,2Understanding the textPart B Interpretation1. b)2. d)3. a )4. b )Developing you skillsPart B: Structure of a passage ( paragraph insertion): further practice Insert the paragraph between the present paragraphs 1 and 2Part C: Structure of a passage ( paragraph reversal ): further practice Paragraph 3 and paragraph 4need to be reversed.Extending your vocabularyPart A : Word familiesa) atbelow nearb) speak shout whisper screamc) square circular triangular rectangular hexagonald) drip squirt trickle flow run gushe) walk run leap jump jog stroll hop“of ” is the only one which does not indicate position/location.“dance ” does not describe sound; the other words are sounds made using the human voice. “spherical ” describes a three-dimensional shape; the others are two-dimensional. “walk ” is never used to describe the movement of a liquid; the other words do so.“hold ” describes a stable action, not a movement; the other words describe either horizontal orvertical movement.Expanding your creativityWords to note5, 8, 1, 6, 10, 4, 2, 7, 9, 11, 3Understanding the textPart A: Author's attitude and purpose1. d)2. c)Part B: Comprehension the text1. c)2. d)3. c)4.d)5. a)Developing your skillsPart B : Responding to questions on the textQ2A2.

大学英语(B)阅读理解练习题及答案之欧阳治创编
Passage 1Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes garden, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing thehundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.1. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.C.

A major purpose of advertising is to inform us of new products or good bargains/help producers sell their products.It is possible that advertising is becoming less effective because we are exposed to too much advertising now and so much of it is misleading.2.The more adventurous members of the family can visit some of the attractions ofthe island, including a trip to an ancient cavern/ study the fascinating sea creatures of that area.The less adventurous members can use the hotel swimming pool/ paddling pool or play on the mini-golf course or visit the less adventurous places of interest.Ghosts are often seen around Lake Tali.Wood has been used to make the accommodation units.The holiday is cheap because the resort is new and the owners claim to be more interested in making the guests happy than making money.3.Bantu island is really only a small, bear, exposed rock in the middle of theocean.Swimming around the island would be dangerous because of the many sharks.The s wimming pool isn’t in use because there is no water in it.The author doesn’t believe the stories because it is too small and too shallow for the stories to be true.The only reason your money “goes further” is that Bantu Island is a long way away so the money will be traveling further.4.The advice the author gives in the last two paragraphs is to be very careful whenreading advertisements and always try to check the information from an independent source before you buy whatever is advertised.Part BPart C1.Advertising is often misleading and in some cases, “legalized lying”. Theadvertising brochure for Bantu is obvious very misleading—although nothing it says is actually a lie, it does not present the truth.2.Once they got to the island and saw what it was like, they would not want to goon any tours.3.No, it was very carefully worded so that it would be difficult to prove it told anylies—simply did not tell the whole truth or misled the reader in different ways.4.We should look carefully at things that seem attractive and cheap. There is oftena problem that is not obvious.Developing your skills:Which of the following could be used to describe the tone of the newspaper article?Humorous, aggressive, sarcasticExpending your vocabulary:Unit 2Understanding the textPart A:1.F2.F3.T4.T5.T6.T7.F8.FPart B:1. These exams “decide their futures” and the penalties for failure are “final”. Also look at speech paragraph 6 ―the “threat of being a failure for life” is perhaps even worse than a death sentence.2. The labor market does not urg ently need “newly qualified people”. There is no “hurry”; the situation is not critical.3. To compare the large number of lessons with the tiny result and also to say that “40-minute pieces of learning” and “little pieces of geography or history or biology” do not really add up to any substantial body of knowledge. Perhaps, too, the writer wants to show that mere statistics do not really prove that the results are good.4. The word suggests an unpleasant experience. The writer was, when a child, the subject ―and the education system was the “boss”. The results of the child’s subjection were not good. Also look at speech paragraph 8 again: the system “can never be called efficient”; it simply helps the administrators and the bureaucrats.Developing your skillsPart A 1.c) 2.b) 3.c) 4.a)Extending your vocabularyPart A.1. carefree 2.intolerable 3.receptive pulsory 5.severe 6.motivated 7.applled 8.franticallyPart B. 1.regardless of 2.how much 3.certainly 4.must 5.help or win 6.frequently 7.result Unit 3Words to note:Bullets—7compensate—11contentedly---14disaster---9drifted---6glowing—10instantly---5insured---15pounds—12retire---16shadows---1streaming---4tempt---13terrified---3wafted---17wandered---18wardrobe—2wearily—8Understanding the textPart Anotes 1:they were sitting round a coffee table.Thomas was wearing his police uniformSnow was blowing against burning.notes2:only the man and his wife were in the kitchenthere was a garden and a garden gate outside.The man at the garden gate was wearing police uniformThe man at the garden gate was very tall.note3:The man was sitting next to the fireThomas had a blood stain on his chestThe grandmother was also standing behind ThomasPart B1.the curse was that the bag an d its “evil contents” gave the grandfather power. Thepower enabled him to get anything he wanted in life. The price was the life of his own wife.2.he bought the house with the help of the power he had been given by the bag. But heforgot the warning---there was a price to pay for his power.3.his first wish was for 100, 000 pounds. He would have received this money becauseof the Life insurance---his son Thomas was insured. When Thomas was killed, the Insurance Company paid him this money.4.Arthur’s second wish was ”I want all my family to be together again.” This wishcame true but not in the way he had intended.Developing your skillsPart A1.similarly on the night that Arthur asked for 100,000 pounds, his son Thomas died.2.both Arthur and his father paid th e price for the ‘help” they asked for. They both knewthe bag was evil---but they both used it to get what they thought they wanted.3.Arthur has already learned why his father thought so. But he tries to put the warningfrom his father out of his mind. And his son later pays the price---the first price.4.his wife definitely is right. Very soon the son Thomas is killed.5.this is because he was a premonition. He knows what has happened and he probablyfeels, as his father had left, that he is responsible.

Because we need to feel that this area is our own; it belongs to us ;it’s part of our own self .4. When people from different cultural or geographical backgrounds are together.(because t he size of the “space ” needed within different cultures differs; some cultures can easily accept closer “contact”----and therefore less personal space –than others.)5.If attempts to preserve our personal space are ignored by others ,and if we thereforefeel a heightened sense of discomfort, threat of even danger, we might use force---e.g.a loud voice, or actual physical force ,to make it very clear that we are “defending ourterritory”.Developing your skillsPart APart B : Deducing meaningbarren; nothing would grow or the island; attempts; in vain; never caught a single fish; crustaceans; crabs, shrimps and ,on one occasion, a lobster ; almost starved; look like a skeleton; bones were sticking through his skin; emaciated; sadness and anxiety; immediately changed; elationExtending your vocabularyPart B: Cloze sentences1.expressive2.indicates/shows3.clusteredpliment5.gradually/slowly6.releaseUnit 5Words to noteApplicant—2Benefits—7Cater—8Contributors—10Dismay –3Encouragement – 12Facilities – 11Hop – 5Impose—6Kerb—1Pretend—13Significantly—4Statistics—14Wheelchair – 9 Understanding the textPart B: Interpreting the textExamples of optimismLett er 1: … I now look forward to…… wanting to live life to the full…Letter 2: …your own environment is sure to change soon.…perhaps we could share the benefits…Letter 3: … give hope (and a possible future) …There are … no reasons why disabled people cannot fulfill…Letter 4: … there are ever increasing social and professional opportunities…… he says he may even had an advantage…Examples of objectivityLetter 1: … paraplegics still have to plan each trip…… kerbs at the edges of the roads…Letter 2:… extra-wide elevators …… not a single step in the whole centre.Letter 3: … suitably converted vehicles.… not one single member has ever had an accident of any kind!

There are many varied aspects to love:Burns loved his country (Scotland), women, “humanity and honest, simple goodness”, friendship, trust, sharing, etc. Further he believed in morality, and fairness—he wrote about poverty and weakness and sadness.He had such a philosophy because his own childhood—his family was poor and he had to work hard even as a child, but he was given love and encouragement—perhaps influenced his feelings about life, and about the value and importance of the “common people” (i.e. ordinary people).3.several: e.g. –obviously—the chorus in “Auld Land Syne”; the phrase “times gone by”, “I see…”,and “I hear…” in” Jean”; the “theme line”, “my love is like…”and “I will love you…” in “my love is like a red, red rose”.4.Yes—especially in “John Anderson, My Jo”, where the past and the present are contrasted: e.g.“your hair was like the raven’s…” “Your hair is like the snow…” The co ntrasts in this poem are very clearly portrayed by the tenses used (Simple present and simple past).5.Yes. Some of poems have sentenced of identical length (to maintain the rhythm of the verse), forexample “Auld Lang Syne”, however, the sentence lengths in“my love is like a red, red rose”vary throughout the poem. Generally speaking, the shorter the sentence is, the more emphasis the writer wants to place on itExpanding your vocabularyPart A: Descriptions of happiness2.3.Part B: using contrast descriptions1.2.编写人:叶进编写单元:第七单元Unit 7Words to notecolloquial – 13complimentary – 6convey – 9derive – 7determined – 1frustrating – 2idioms – 3inappropriate – 4literal – 5mastering – 12prejudices – 14seemingly – 8shades – 10sources – 11stumped – 17tap – 15tones – 16Understanding the textPart A: Comprehending the textParagraph 1: a) Paragraph 2: c) Paragraph 3: b) Paragraph 4: b) Paragraph 5: a) Paragraph 6: c) Paragraph 7: a) Paragraph 8: b) Paragraph 9: a) Developing your skillsPart B: Subjective / objective writing1.What facts do you know about the flat?Flat: In effect, none. (Except, perhaps, that an apartment exists! Adjectives such as “lovely”, “compact”, “splendid” have no factual “meaning”.)Living Room: Again, none. What does “superb” actually – and factually – mean?Kitchen: There is one fact here: the kitchen is smaller (“more compact”) … But it’s not a very helpful fact. We are not told how much smaller it is! It’s not even 100% certain what other room it is smaller than! (The implication, of course, is that the comparison iswith the living room but in Western houses the kitchen is always smaller than the living room in any case)Bedroom 1: There is one fact about the room, and two about what the room contains (i.e. a bed and light). The fact about the room is that it has a window.Bedroom 2: Again, no facts.Bathroom: There is no bathroom. (The landing is not part of the flat; the bathroom is a communal one.)2.What’s the writer’s purpose in wr iting this text?To “sell” the “attractiveness of the flat” –even though the flat is not really very attractive at all!3.What subjective words does he use to help him in his purpose?lovely; needs to be seen; perfect opportunity; splendid; great appeal; superb; of great character; convenient; easily; modern kitchen; conveniently; nicely 4.Briefly give your own opinions about the flat and explain what led you to theseopinions.It’s cold, or in bad condition –or perhaps both: “… effort may be required to improve…”It’s small: “…cleaning won’t ever be a problem” because there isn’t much to clean.It’s dangerous: “the electrical wiring may need to be changed”.The bedrooms are tiny: you can “turn off the light or open the window” while on the bed, and there is only “one side” of “space” to look after a baby.There is no private bathroom. Do we really want to “encourage friendliness” with strangers while we are in the bathroom?Extending your vocabularyExplaining the meaning of idiomsColumn A Column B1.to admit that you were wrong about something2.to take a long time to do something simple3.to react angrily or rudely to somebody for no reason4.to risk being blamed if things go wrong5.to be a bit of a dreamer6.to pay much more than something is worth7.to be very much in love8.to be completely different from each other9.to be dishonest about one’s feelings and opinions10.to be very happy about somethingNow try to find out what each of the following idiomatic expressions means and write the explanation in the space provided.Picture 1. to have itchy feet: to want to leave a place and start travelingPicture 2. to put your foot in it: to make a (usually foolish) mistakePicture 3. to get cool feet: to become afraid to do something and so change your mind about doing it.Expanding your creativityA dialogue about being in love(YP = young people; M = Mother; F = Father)YP: I’ve got itchy feet.

It’s not Brenda. I just feel stumpedF: Well… “itchy feet”… To do what? To go where?M: Yes, you’d better be careful. If I were you…YP: But you aren’t me. I want a better job. I’ve been working for XYZ Corp. for two weeks a lready and I haven’t got a promotion or a pay rise or, or… I’mfed up. I’m going to quite, call it a day –that’s what I mean by “itchy feet”. Iwant to quite right now, while I’m in the mood – before I got cold feet.F: You were on cloud nine when you got the job. Why not give it a couple more weeks and see how it goes. And I’d advise you to keep quiet about yourfeelings and your dissatisfaction at least for the moment.M: Your head’s in the clouds –that’s your trouble. Quit now –and you’ll pay through the nose for it. Just keep quiet –you don’t want to have to eat yourwords.YP: Yeah, well… I’ll cool it for a day or two. But I don’t like keeping quiet.

Firstly, of course, because he was a very good (and well-known, Chinese) competitor. Secondly, because he very nearly beat Greg Lauganis. Thirdly, because many people believed he had, really, won. Fourthly, because of his sportsmanship: he didn’t complain – instead, he praised his rival.2. The word “really” indicates that there is some doubt as to whether it is a “genuine” question. In fact the question is “rhetorical” –i.e. the writer isn’t really asking a question for information but is using a question form in order to give his own opinion. (This opinion is that many Chinese people were more happy about the prestige than interested in the sports.)3. It implies that, although pens and newspapers are small items it is likely that many extra millions will be sold during the Games because if the huge number of visitors.4. Because of the length of time he has been in the organization, he “made a career” of the Olympics, and he “rose through the ranks” to become President.5. No. They are far more. They bring prestige to the city hosting them. They probably produce profit. They certainly create lots of jobs, new buildings get built, and the host city is proud to be able to “bask in its fame”.Developing your skillsPart A: Skimming(about the text)1.

Diabetes; cancer; heart disease; lung disease; psychological ailments such as depression and low self-esteem.2. Obesity is “one of the greatest health risks”. All the body can suffer as a result.3. An entire class session could be spent debating this subject! For example, how can we decide if fat people are “happier”? Do we have to count all fat people? Then, too, how do we define “fat”? More difficult yet: how do we define “happy”? It might be suggested that if fat peopl e are happier, “they shouldn’t be”, or “they don’t realize they have a problem”. But perhaps such discussion and debate can never be satisfactorily concluded; perhaps it’s simpler to quote another old adage: “Laugh and grow fat; grow fat and be laughed at.”!Part B: Scanning1. 102. obese 3 times obesity 2 timespeople 4 times health 2 times physical 2 times1.

The costs are huge. Merely the conversion of one building, for the Sydney Games, cost US$240 million. The total cost of these Games was probably approximately US$2.5 billion!4. Both short-term and more “specialized” jobs are mentioned. Short-term examples include jobs in selling and marketing, administration, tourism, customer service and ground management. More specialized examples include jobs in systems programming, business and finance analysis, architecture and engineering.5. Basically, profit and development. If the Games are well organized, the host city/country will make a lot of money from the influx of thousands upon thousands of visitors – and their spending; in the longer term, the new facilities (which have to be built for the Games), such as new buildings and infrastructure, mean that the city is better equipped to bid for large international events in the future.Extending your vocabularyPart A: Words to note1. prestige2. budgeted3. inevitably4. biased5. dignified6. guarantee7. margin8.

As the mind, and the ability to reason, develop in a child, the "normal" senses are more fully controlled by the mind. And the mind tends to reject what it cannot explain.3.Because the whole personality of children is more open and growing. The mind has not, yet, "gained control".

新视野大学英语创意阅读第二版中文翻译unit 9-12
平衡问题下面是位中学老师罗恩·布莱克和另一所学校的一位七年级学生劳拉·汤普生的谈话记录。
罗恩:劳拉,你认为怎样才算是好老师?劳拉:我认为最重要的是热情和对学生的兴趣。
学校的孩子总能知道老师够格不够格。
老师要是对孩子没兴趣,她不可能有热情,这是很明白的事。
他们总会知道老师是否站在他们一边。
老师还得了解她这份工作的方方面面。
要是老师不合格或对自己这门课不懂,学生不可能相信她的能力,我想我说的是学生还是对老师有信任感。
罗恩:我同意。
劳拉:她还得有条不紊,有自信心,不然她会管不住学生。
孩子们说话,瞎混,课堂便成了他们消磨时光的地方。
其实,大多数孩子不喜欢没纪律的课堂。
他们需要引导。
大多数孩子不想胡闹,但假如老师对他们的胡来听之任之,他们会控制不住自己——学生会一发不可收,毁掉每堂课。
对于,她得严格,有纪律,让学生明白谁是上司。
她要有幽默感是最好不过的。
这很要紧。
我想她还得有点表演才能,让课堂活起来。
她如能让孩子们笑起来,那也是让孩子旦目白她理解他们的一种手段。
罗恩:嗯。
劳拉:还有,最糟糕的是老师的幽默感不对,她的笑话让孩子们笑不起来。
我很难讲得很具体,因为每个老师的情况不—样。
我刚才谈到的好的老师的情况,差的老师身上也有。
比如他们有热情,业务精通,就是没和孩子们沟通起来。
我们学校有位老师上课逗得很,好玩极了。
从她开门进教室到下课出门,我们就笑个没完,就是没学到东西。
时间都用在笑上了。
真的,下了课我们的颌都疼了,但我们的学习从没有走上正路。
说实在话,我们并不满意这类课,虽然我们喜欢去。
你明白我的意思吗?罗恩:我想我懂你的意思。
劳拉:有时,你遇到的老师真够严厉的,让人受不了,学生们还是喜欢她,因为他们学得辛苦,也学到了东西。
他们也就接受这些规矩,不笑也不胡闹,因为他们知道她很认真。
能跟她长知识。
你怎么看?同意我的观点吗?罗恩:我同意你的观点。
你说的全是实话。
人与人不同,连下课后的老师与上课时的老师都不一样。

大学英语(B)阅读理解练习题及答案之欧阳法创编
Passage 1Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes garden, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred andone other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.1.

With the same money needed for ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.A. getting a small flat with a gardenB. having a small flat with a gardenC. renting a small flat without a gardenD. buying a small flat without a garden3. When the garden is in blossom, the one ________ has been rewarded.A. living in the countryB. having spent time working in the garden.C. having a garden of his own.D. having been digging, planting and watering4. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that ________ if they had to live outside London.A. their life was meaninglessB. their life was invaluableC. they didn’t deserve a happy lifeD. they were notworthy of their happy life5. The underlined phrase “get away from” in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________.A. deal withB. do away withC. escape fromD. prevent from很多在伦敦工作的人喜欢住在伦敦郊外,然后每天乘火车、汽车和公交车去上班或上学。
2023高考语文文学类文本阅读之对作品进行个性化阅读和有创意的解读(含答案)
对作品进行个性化阅读和有创意的解读是探究题中比较难的一种,对考生的分析与思维能力有比较高的要求,一般文本中很少有现成的答案,要求考生从不同层面或角度对文本进行分析。
其命题的基本形式是命题人对文本的内容、人物形象、作品主旨等提出问题,给出几种不同的理解,问你同意哪一种,并说明理由。
或直接提供一种见解,问你这种见解是否合理。
还有的是问读了全文后,文章让你明白了什么道理或者本文对你有何启迪,请谈谈你的一点体会……从近几年的高考题来看,题干会给出相对明确的答题方向,或者要求考生结合文章某一方面的内容,谈谈自己的思考,或者要求考生结合文本、联系现实进行探究。
预计2019年高考文学类文本阅读仍然会考查这一考点,考生要做好复习备考。
考向一探究文本启发类1.阅读下面的文字,完成后面的题目。
导盲犬的眼睛毛丹青①去东京的那天早上气温很低,穿大衣还觉得冷,可能是海风太大的缘故,我的脸上有点儿像被细沙撒了一把一样,十分痒。
②去车站的途中,看见几位遛狗的人,有男的也有女的,大家都穿得很厚,棉帽子也戴得很严实,唯独那活蹦乱跳的狗狗显得非常洒脱,它们不顾主人睡眼惺忪的样子,一个劲儿往前跑,狗狗是主人,而人是奴仆!而且,有位女人的嘴里一直唠叨,大致意思是:“狗狗别着急哦,一大早都是你的呀!”这是挺动漫的一个情景!③从神户到大阪坐车的时间不过30分钟,到了新大阪车站以后再换乘新干线开往东京。
距离上很远,但交通方便,我要办个什么急事儿,从家里到东京当天去当天回也是来得及的,只不过坐在新干线上的时间很长,往返路程加到一起需要5个多小时。
④坐列车坐得时间一长,遇见的事情就多。
除了看各种各样的人,有时也会遇上令人难忘的情景。
这回我遇上的是一个男人和他的导盲犬。
⑤当时他坐在我的边上,一直到他牵着的狗趴在他脚下的时候,我都没注意到他是盲人:看上去,他是一位长者,衣冠楚楚,很有绅士风度。
他戴了一副眼镜,黑边儿的,但不是墨镜。
一双眼睛也不是闭上的,而是睁开的。
