I have many hobbies, such as reading, skating, and watching TV. But reading is my favorite hobby.I like reading for three reasons. First of all, books introduce me to a new world, which is colourful and without time and space limit, Through reading, I can trace back. to ancient Egypt, the cradle of human civilization. It can bring myself to the United states, a glamorous land I have been longing to visit. Secondly, reading can better myself by showing me a new horizon. In the past years, most of my knowledge has been obtained from books. I have learned from many people by reading about their ideas on scithee, politics, life and society. Thirdly, reading bridge the gap between my dream and my goal. In ordcr to succeed in my career in the future, I must keep reading, thinking and practising.Reading has become part of my life. Every day, I spend some time reading books, newspapcrs and magazines. At night, I can hardly go to steep without a novel in my hand.我的爱好我有许多爱好，譬如：读书、滑冰、看电视，读书是我最喜欢的。

我喜爱读书有三个原因：首先，书籍带我进入一个新世界，这个世界五颜六色没有时空限制。

通过读书，我可以追溯到占代埃及——这个人类文明的摇篮。

书能把我带到美国，那个我一直想去游览的充满魅力的地方。

其次，读书能够在我面前展现新的空间，使我完美。

在过去的几年中，我的大多数知识都是通过书本获得的。

通过阅读，我向许多人学习了他们在科学、政治、生活和社会等方面的思想。

再次，读书在我的梦想和目标之间架起厂一座桥梁。

为了在将来的工作生涯中获得成功，我要坚持读书、思维和实践。

读书已经成为我生活的一部分。

每天我花一些时间读书看报，读杂志。

晚上，没有一书在手我是很难入睡的。

Learning English and Learning About English?We are learning English,not about English. A student can know all about English. And he may not be able to speak English.The people who only learn about English take English as a subject. This is a mistake. Geography is no skill while English is.You learn to swim by getting into water and swimming.You learn football by kicking a ball. We learn to speak English by speaking English. Let us do more speaking if we want to learn English well.So you see there is a difference between “learning English and learning about English”. Now we want to learn English and we believe the best way to learn to speak English is by speaking.学会英语和学习英语我们要学会英语，而不只是学习英语。

一个学生可能对英语知道甚多，却不能开口说英语。

那些对英语一知半解的人把英语当作一门课程。

这是一种误解。

地理不是技能，而英语却是一种技能。

跳入水中，你才能在游泳中学会游泳。

踢着球，你才能学会足球。

我们在说英语的过程中学会说英语。

因此，要想把英语学好，我们就要多多尝试张嘴说话。

因此你可以看出学会英语和学习英语是不同的。

现在，我们要学会英语，我们相信，学会说英语最好的方法就是多说。

McDonald’sIn 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant in Califor-nia which sold food that was easy toprepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries and cold drinks were the main food there. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name,McDonald’s, and they were an inst ant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful “fast-food” restaurants in America and the world.Why was his idea so successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the ]950s,most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the work place. This meant that they had less time and energy for housework and preparation of meals, so they depended more on “TV dinners” and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.Fast-food is not part of all Americans lives. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement,influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged and processed. This preference for natural food continues to this day. From the success of Raymond Kroc’s fast-food business,we can say that social and economic trends influence where and what we eat.麦当劳1955年，一位名为雷蒙德·克劳克的人与两位名为麦当劳的兄弟合伙，在加州开了一家颇受欢迎的小餐馆，销售制作方便服务快捷的食物。

那里的主打食品是汉堡、炸薯条和冷饮。

克劳克用同样的名字—一麦当劳开了几家类似的餐厅，迅速获得了成功。

后来他接管了这个公司，今天它成为美国和世界最有名、最成功的“快餐”厅之一。

他的想法为什么会如此成功呢?也许最重要的原因是因为他时机正好。

20世纪50年代，大多数已婚妇女呆在家里做家务、照顾孩子。

而在60年代，许多妇女回去工作。

这就意味着她们做家务、准备食物的时间、精力减少了，因此她们更多地依赖于“电视晚餐[1] [2] 下一页Population and Birth Control1. 由于人口的增长，2. 人类感到压力越来越大。

3. 控制人口增长是我国的基本国策。

4. 家庭子女多有许多弊病。

Mankind is feeling greater pressure from the expanding number of people. The area of the earth can never be expanded. Nor are there endless sources of food and clothing. Yet, the number of people is increasing be 80million each year. In the next fifty years, the world population may double. How can so many people be fed? What is worse, most likely, there will be a day when people can only have standing room.Birth control is a basic policy in our country. China has the greatest number of population in theworld. Her level of per capita cultivated area ranks very low. With a high birth rate, the production of grain and other bare necessities will be unable to meet the needs of people. To raise people’s living standard, we must practice birth control.There are disadvantages of a family having more children. First of all, as the parents have only limited income in general, they cannot give their children a good upbringing in food, clothing and shelter, let alone education. Secondly, child rearing will exhaust the parents, leaving them no burden of the society so far as social morality and juvenile delinquency are concerned.人口和控制生育由于人口数量的增长，人类感到压力很大。
