新概念英语第二册21课课文原文Title: New Concept English Book Two Lesson 21 TextText:A Red BoxThere is a good restaurant near my house. I often go there for meals. The food is good, and the prices are not high. But some people do not like the restaurant. They say the food is not very good, and the prices are too high. They are not very polite to the waiters. I am always very polite to the waiters. The other day I took three friends to the restaurant. We had a good meal, but the people at the next table were not eating very much. They spoke to the waiters in a loud voice. They were not very polite. At their side, there was a large red box. The box was open. When we were finishing our meal, a waiter came to our table. He gave the four of us a bill, which came to three pounds. We gave him four one-pound notes. He took the money and smiled. Then he went to the next table and put the money into the red box. I did not go to the restaurant for an hour or two. When I got up to leave, I put my hand into my pocket for a tip for the waiter. But I found that I had no money in my pocket. I could not leave the restaurantwithout giving the waiter a tip. So I took a piece of paper and wrote on it: 'You are very polite'. Then I put this into the red box.Word Count: 212End of Text.。

新概念英语第二册21课文原文

新概念英语第二册21课文原文Title: Mad or Not.I live near an airport where planes take off and land all day and all night. This airport was built many years ago, but for some reason, it could not be used then. However, it began operating last year. More than a hundred people who lived near the airport have been driven away by the noise, and I am one of the few people who have decided to stay. Sometimes I think the house will be knocked down by a passing plane. The people from the airport have offered me a large amount of money to go away, but I have refused. Everyone says I must be mad and perhaps they are right.Last week, a woman who lives in a house not far from mine was killed when a plane came down and crashed into her house. I know I should have left long ago, but I am determined to stay. I have made my home here, and I refuse to leave it. I sleep with my windows open, even though thenoise is terrible. I tell myself that it is only the sound of freedom.Some nights, I wake up with a start, thinking a plane is crashing into my house. Then I realize it is only the sound of a plane taking off or landing. I lie in bed and listen to the noise, and I know that I am not mad. I am simply living with the noise, and I have chosen to do so.I have learned to ignore the noise most of the time, but sometimes it still gets to me. I find it difficult to concentrate on my work, and I often have to stop and listen to make sure a plane is not crashing into my house. But I refuse to let the noise rule my life.I know that some people think I am crazy to stay here, but I am not the only one. There are others who have chosen to stay, and we support each other. We have formed a group called "Friends of the Airport," and we meet regularly to talk about our problems and to share our experiences.We have even started a petition to try to get theairport to reduce the noise. We know it will be difficult, but we are determined to try. We believe that we have a right to live in peace in our own homes, and we are not going to give up without a fight.In the meantime, we have found ways to cope with the noise. Some of us wear earplugs at night, and others use white noise machines to help us sleep. We have even started a garden where we can sit and relax in the fresh air, far away from the noise of the airport.So, am I mad? Perhaps some people think so, but I know in my heart that I am not. I have chosen to stay here, and I am determined to make the best of it. I may not be able to消除 the noise, but I can control my reaction to it. And that, I believe, is what really matters.This experience has taught me that we can all cope with difficult situations if we are determined enough. We may not be able to change our environment, but we can change our attitude towards it. And that, in the end, is what really counts. So, whether you think I am mad or not, I amcontent with my choice, and I am determined to make the most of it.。

新概念英语第二册第21课Lesson 21 Getting energy from the sunThe sun is the source of all energy on Earth. Plants use sunlight to make food through a process called photosynthesis. This food is then transferred to animals when they eat plants. In this way, energy from the sun is passed on through the food chain.Solar panels are devices that can directly convert sunlight into electricity. They consist of many small units called photovoltaic cells. When sunlight shines on these cells, they produce an electric current. Solar panels are becoming increasingly popular as a renewable energy source because they do not release any harmful pollutants.Solar power is used in various ways. It can be used to heat water or even to power entire buildings. Some countries are investing heavily in solar power as a way to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.Another way to harness solar energy is through solar thermal systems. These systems use mirrors to reflect sunlight onto a receiver, which then converts the heat into usable energy. Solar thermal systems are used to heat water, generate electricity, and even provide heating for homes.Overall, solar energy is a clean and sustainable source of energy. By harnessing the power of the sun, we can reduce our impact on the environment and create a more sustainable future.。

Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here.
