Theme of the Text
• This story focuses on the real cause of the Subprime Mortgage Crisis in America. Contrary to general views, the author believes the crisis was triggered by a deep cultural predisposition (倾向) that leads to the Americans’ fascination with bigger and bigger houses which tend to label the big property owners successful. Therefore, instead of placing blame on Wall Street firms, he concludes the American people themselves are the culprits behind the economic crisis.

1984年版高中英语课本第一册LESSON 1 HOW MARX LEARNED FOREIGN LANGUAGES马克思怎样学习外语Karl Marx was born in Germany, and German was his native language. When he was still a young man, he was forced to leave his homeland for political reasons. He stayed in Belgium for a few years; then he went to France. Before long he had to move on again. In 1849, he went to England and made London the base for his revolutionary work.Marx had learned some French and English at school. When he got to England, he found that his English was too limited. He started working hard to improve it. He made such rapid progress that before long he began to write articles in English for an American newspaper. In fact, his English in one of these articles was so good that Engels wrote him a letter and praised him for it. Marx wrote back to say that Engels' praise had greatly encouraged him. However, he went on to explain that he was not too sure about two things -- the grammar and some ofthe idioms.These letters were written in 1853. In the years that followed, Marx kept on studying English and using it. When he wrote one of his great works, The Civil War in France, he had mastered the language so well that he was able to write the book in English.In the 1870s, when Marx was already in his fifties, he found it important to study the situation in Russia, so he began to learn Russian. At the end of six months he had learned enough to read articles and reports in Russian.In one of his books, Marx gave some advice on how to learn a foreign language. He said when people are learning a foreign language, they should not translate everything into their own language. If they do this, it shows they have not mastered it. When they used the foreign language, they should try to forget all about their own. If they cannot do this, they have not really learned the spirit of the foreign language and cannot use it freely.LESSON 2 AT HOME IN THE FUTURE未来的家A medical examination without a doctor or nurse in the room Doing shopping at home Borrowing books from the library without leaving your homeThese ideas may seem strange to you. But scientists are working hard to turn them into realities.Let us suppose we can visit a home at the end of this century. We will visit a boy named Charlie Green. He is not feeling well this morning. His mother, Mrs Green, wants the doctor to see him. That is, she wants the doctor to listen to him. She brings a set of wires to Charlie's room. These wires are called sensors. She places one sensor in his mouth and one on his chest. She puts another one around his wrist and one on his forehead. Then she plugs the sensors into a wall outlet. She says the code "TCP". This means "telephone call placed." A little light flashes on the wall. The Green's wireless telephone is ready for a call. Mrs Green says "2478", the doctor's telephone number. From a speaker on the wall comes the doctor's voice: "Good morning." "Good morning, Dr Scott," answers Mrs Green. "Charlie isn'tfeeling too well this morning. I've put the sensors on him. I wonder if you can examine him now.""Sure," the doctor's voice says. "Well, he doesn't have a fever. And his pulse is fine. Now, breathe deeply, Charlie." Charlie does so."Just a little cold," says the doctor. "Better stay inside today, Charlie. And take it easy.""Thank you, Doctor," says Mrs Green. "TCC (telephone call completed)." The light on the wall turns off. The phone call and the examination are finished."Charlie," says Mrs Green," since you have to stay at home, why don't you do some shopping You can pick out your new bicycle. After all, your birthday is only two weeks away.""Great," Charlie answers.Charlie and his mother sit in front of one of the visionphones. There are several in their house."TCP," says Charlie. The word ready appears on the screen of the visionphone."New Forest Bicycle Shop," a voice says. "May I help you" Charlie answers, "I'd like to see your ten-speed bicycles." In the next few minutes, pictures of many models of the bicycles are flashed on the creen. The price of each model is also shown.Then the voice asks, "Are you interested in any of these models""Yes, I'm interested in model 6.""Do you wish to place an order at this time""Not just yet," answers Mrs Green. "My son's birthday is in two weeks' time. Thank you. TCC."The visionphone shuts off.Such would be our home in the future.LESSON 3 THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT盲人和象Once upon a time there were six blind men who lived in a village in India. Every day they went to the road nearby and stood there begging. They had often heard of elephants, but they had never seen one, for , being blind, how could they One morning an elephant was led down the road where they stood. When they heard that an elephant was passing by, they asked the driver to stop the beast so that they could have a "look".Of course they could not look at him with their eyes, but they thought they might learn what kind of animal he was by touching and feeling him. For, you see, they trust their own sense of touch very much.The first blind man happened to place his hand on the elephant's side. "Well, well, " he said. "This beast is exactly like a wall."The second grasped one of the elephant's tusks and felt it. "You're quite mistaken," he said. "He's round and smooth and sharp. He's more like a spear than anything else."The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. "You're both completely wrong," he said. "This elephant is likea snake, as anybody can see."The fourth opened both his arms the closed them around one of the elephant's legs. "Oh, how blind you are!" he cried. "It's very clear that he's round and tall like a tree."The fifth was a very tall man, and he caught one of the elephant's ears. "Even the blindest person must see that this elephant isn't like any of the things you name." he siad. "He's exactly like a huge fan."The sixth man went forward to feel the elephant. He was old and slow and it took him quite some time to find the elephant at all. At last he got hold of the beast's tail. "Oh, how silly you all are!" cried he. "The elephant isn't like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree; neither is he like a fan. Any man with eyes in his head can see that he's exactly like a rope."Then the driver and the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, quarrelling about the elephant. They could not agree with one another, because each believed that he knew just what the beast looked like.It is not only blind men who make such stupid mistakes. People who can see sometimes act just as foolishly.LESSON 4 GALILEO AND ARISTOTLE伽利略和亚里斯多德About 2300 years ago, there lived in Greece a great thinker named Aristotle. He observed that feathers fell to the ground slowly, while stones fell much faster. He thought it over carefully and concluded that heavy objects always fell faster than light ones. His conclusion certainly sounded reasonale. But we now know that it is not true.In those days people seldom did experiments to test their ideas. When they observed anything that happened, they thought about it and then drew a conclusion. Once Aristotle made up his mind that heavy objects always fell faster than light objects, he taught it as a truth to his students. And because he was Aristotle, the great thinker, no one questioned his idea for almost 2000 years.Then, almost 400 years ago, an Italian scientist named Galileo began to question Aristotle's theory of falling objects. He was not ready to believe something just because Aristotlesaid so. He decided to do some experiments to test Aristotle's theory.Galileo lived in the city of Pisa, where there is a leaning tower about 180 feet high. From the top of the tower Galileo dropped a light ball and a heavy ball at exactly the same time. They both fell at about the same speed and hit the ground together. He tried the experiments again and again. Every time he got the same result. At last, he decided that he had found the truth about falling objects. As we know now, heavy objects and light objects fall at the same speed unless air holds them back. A feather falls slower than a stone only because the air holds the feather back more than it does the stone.When Galileo told people of his discovery, no one would belive him. But Galileo was not discouraged. He went on doing experiments to test the truth of other old ideas. He built a telescope through which he could study the skies. He collected facts that proved the earth and all the other planets move around the sun.Today we praise Galileo and call him one of the founders of modern science. He observed things carefully and never took anything for granted. Instead, he did experiments to test andprove an idea before he was ready to accept it.An experiment was done on the moon in July, 1971. One of the US astronauts who made the first deep space walk on the moon dropped a hammer and a feather together. They both landed on the surface of the moon at the same time. This experiment proved that Galileo's theory of falling objects is true.LESSON 5 THE LOST NECKLACE丢失的项链Place: a park in ParisTime: a summer afternoon in 1870People: Mathilde Loisel, wifePierre Loisel, husbandJeanne Forrestier, their friend(Jeanne is sitting in the park. Mathilde walks towards her, she stops and speaks to Jeanne.)Mathilde: Good afternoon, Jeanne.Jeanne: (Looking at the other woman) I'm sorry, but I don't think I know you.Mathilde: No, you wouldn't, but many years ago you knew me well. I'm Mathilde Loisel.Jeanne: Mathilde! My old school friend. Is it possible But yes, of course it is. Now I remember. Where have you been all these years, Mathilde I hope you weren't ill.Mathilde: No, Jeanne, I wasn't ill. You see here an old woman. But it's because of hard work - ten years of hard work. Jeanne: But I don't understand, Mathilde. There's only one year between us; I'm thirty-five and you're thirty-four. Can hard work change a person that muchMathilde: Yes, it can. Years of hard work, little food, only a cold room to live in and never, never a moment to rest. That has been my life for these past ten years.Jeanne: Mathilde! I didin't know. I'm sorry. But what happenedMathilde: Well, I would rather not tell you.Jeanne: Oh, come, Mathilde .Surely you can tell an old friend.Mathilde: Well, ... Well, it was all necause of that necklace. Your necklace.Jeanne: My necklaceMathilde: Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklaceJeanne: Let me think. Ten years ago... Oh, yes, I remember. You were going to the palace with your husband, I think. Mathilde: Right. Pierre was working in a govenrment office, and for the first time in our lives we were invited to an important ball.(The scene changed to that evening in the home of Pierre and Mathilde Loisel.)Pierre: Yes, Mathilde, we're going to the ball, the palace ball!Mathilde: I can't believe it!Piere: But it's true.Mathilde: Oh, Piere, how wonderful! But I haven't got a dress for the ball!Pierre； What does a new evening dress costMathilde: Mathilde: About four hundred francs.Pierre: Four hundred! That's a lot of money. But perhaps, just this once, we'll use what we have to get a new dress for you. This ball is very important to me. I was the only person in my office who was invited.Mathilde: Thank you, Pierre, you're so kind. Oh, but there's one other thing...Pierre: What is it, MathildeMathlde: I ... I have no jewelry.Pierre: Jewelry Do you need jewelry Why not just a flower Mathilde: To go to the palace with just a flower is to say "I'm poor. I haven't got any jewelry."Pierre: Can't you borrow some jewelry from a friend, MathildeMathilde: Which friend My friends are all poor, too. Pierre: Let me think. How about Jeanne She married well. Perhaps she has some.Mathilde: Ah, yes, Jeanne. She married a man with a lot of money. I'll go and see her on Friday, after I get the new dress. Pierre: I'm sure she has something you can borrow. (The scene changes back to the park. Mathilde continues to tell Jeanne her story.)Mathilde: One Friday I came to see you, Jeanne. Remember Jeanne: Yes, Mathilde, I remember.Mathilde: You were very kind. You brought out your jewelry and told me to take anything I wanted.Jeanne: (Smiling) You were like a little girl. Your eyes became so big.Mathilde: There were so many things and they were all beautiful. It was hard to choose.Jeanne: Until you saw the diamond necklace.Mathlde: Yes, and then I knew I wanted to borrow the necklace. I didn't want anything else, only the necklace. Jeanne: I'm sure you looked beautiful that evening, Mathilde. You were always a very pretty girl.Mathilde: Perhaps in those days I was, but everything changed after that night at the palace.Jeanne: Didn't you have a good time at that ball Mathilde: Yes, a very good time, but that was the last time... the last happy evening for the next ten years. Jeanne: But why, MathildeMathilde: On the way home I looked down at my dress and saw that the necklace was gone. I told Pierre. We returned to the palace and looked in every room, but couldn't find it. I never saw your necklace again, Jeanne.Jeanne: But Mathilde, you brought it back to me the next afternoon. I remember very well.Mathilde: Yes, Jeanne, I brought a necklace to you. It was exactly like your necklace but it was a different one. I hopeit was as good as the one you lent me. It cost us thirty-six thousand francs.Jeanne: Thirty-six thousand!Mathilde: Yes, Pierre and I brrowed the money and bought it. During the next ten years we both worked night and day to pay for it. That is why you see this old woman before you now, Jeanne. Well, after all these years we've paid off all our debts. Jeanne: But Mathilde, my dear friend, that wasn't a real diamond necklace you borrowed from me. It was made of glass. It was worth five hundred francs at the most.LESSON 6 ABRAHAM LINCOLN亚伯拉罕·林肯Abraham Lincoln, the son of a poor family, was born in Kentucky on February 12, 1809. He spent his childhood in hard work, helping his father on their small farm. His mother, who he loved dearly, died in 1818. Happily for him, his father' s second wife was kind to him too. When she saw that Abraham likedreading, she did all she could to help him. But the family was poor and the boy could not get many books. Abraham Lincoln later said himself that he only went to school a little now and little then. His whole school education added up to no more than one year.As a young man he was a storekeeper and later a postmaster. He studied law in his spare time and became a lawyer. He was active in politics and strongly against slavery. In all his political life, he thought of building a free state for all the people.In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States. Then he worked still harder for freedom for the slaves. Soon the Southern states rebelled. They set up a state of their own, where they would be free to keep Negroes as slaves. Lincoln said that it was not right for the south to break away from the Union. Fighting broke out between the North and the South. This was the American Civil War. The war lasted four years before the North won in the end. The nation was reunioned and the slaves were set free.In 1864, Lincoln was elected President of the United States for the second time. But his enemies, the slave owners in theSouth and the bankers in big cities, who had grown rich on the work of the slaves, could not let Lincoln continue his work. He, who led the United States through these years, was shot on April 14, 1865, at a theatre in Washington, . and died early the next morning. The whole nation was in deep sorrow at this news, for the people had come to love him as an inspiring leader, and a wise, warm-hearted, honest man.About seventeen months before his death, at the opening of a memorial to the many men who lost their lives fighting for the freedom of the Negroes, Abraham Lincoln told his people that the living must finish the work of those dead; that they must fight for freedom for all-Negroes and whites; that America must strengthen government of the people, by the people and for the people.Today, Abraham Lincoln is regarded as one of the greatest of all American presidents.LESSON 7 THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES皇帝的新装Many years ago there lived an Emperor, who cared more for fine new clothes than for anything else. He had different clothes for every hour of the day.One day two cheats camt to see the Emperor. They called themselves weavers and said that they knew how to weave cloth of the most beautiful colors and designs in the world. They also said that the most interesting thing about the cloth was that clothes made of it would be invisible to anyone who was either stupid or unfit for his office."Ah, what splendid clothes!" thought the Emperor. "They are just what I shall have. When I put them on, I shall be able to find out which men in my empire are unfit for their offices. And I shall be able to tell who are wise and who are foolish. This cloth must be woven for me right away."The Emperor gave the cheats some gold in order that they might begin their work at once.So the two men set up two looms and pretended to be working very hard. They asked for the most beautiful silk and the best gold thread. This they kept for themselves. And then they went on with their work at the empty looms until late into the night.After some time had passed, the Emperor said to himself, "I wonder how the weavers are getting along with my cloth." Then he remembered that those who were either fools or unfit for their offices could not see the cloth. Though he believed that he ought to have nothing to fear for himself, he wanted someone else to look at the cloth first.The Emperor thought a while and decided to send his old Prime Minister to see the cloth. He thought the Prime Minister a wise, honest man who was more fit for his office than anyone else.So the old Prinme Minister went into the hall where the cheats were working at the empty looms."God save me!" thought the old man, opening his eyes very wide. "I can't see anything at all." But he was careful not to say so.The men who were pretending to weave asked him to come closer. They pointed to the empty looms and asked him if he liked the design and the colors.The poor old Prime Minister opend his eyes wid wider, but he could see nothing on the looms."Dear me," he said to himself, "Am I foolish or unfit for my office I must never tell anyone that I could not see the cloth.""Oh! it's most beautiful!" said the Prime Minister quickly. "The design and the colors! I will tell the Emperor how wonderful they are."The Emperor was pleased by what the Prime Minister told him about the cloth. Soon after, he sent another official to find out how soon the cloth would be ready. The same thing happened. The official could see nothing, but he sang high praise for the cloth. When he got back, he told the Emperor that the cloth was beautiful indeed.All the people in the city were now talking about this wonderful cloth which the Emperor had ordered ro be woven for so much they were eager to know how wise or foolish their friends and neighbors might be.LESSON 8 THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES(Continued)皇帝的新装（续）Now at last the Emperor wished to go himself and see the cloth while it was still on the looms. He took with him a few of his officials, including the old Prinme Minister and the official who had already been there.As soon as the weavers heard the Emperor coming, they pretended to work harder than ever, though they were not weaving a single thread through the empty looms."Isn't the cloth magnificent" said the official and the Prime Minister. "What a splendid design! And what colors!" they said, while pointing to the empty looms. They thought that everyone else could see the wonderful work of the weavers though they could not see it themselves."What on earth can this mean" said the Emperor to himself. "I don't see anything. This is horrible! But I mustn't let anyonek now.""The cloth is beautiful," he cried out loud. "Beautiful!I am very pleased with it."The officials could see no more than the Emperor, but they all shouted, ‘Beautiful! Excellent! Magnif icent!" and other such expressions. They told the Emperor that he should have newclothes made of this splendid cloth for the coming great procession.They Emperor nodded. He cried hard to pretend to share in the pleasure of his officials and gave each of the weavers a medal.The night before the procession, the two men had their lights burning all night long. They wanted everyone to see how hard they were workingon the Emperor's new clothes.At last they cried, "Finished! The Emperor's new clothes are now ready!"Then the Emperor arrived with his hgh officials."Now if you take off your clothes, Your Majesty, we will fit the new clothes on you in front of the mirror," said the cheats.The Emperor was then undressed, and the cheats pretened to dress him in his new clothes. The Emperor turned from side to side in front of the mirrior."How splendid the Emperor looks in his new clothes!" everyone cried. "And how well they fit! What a splendid design!And what colors!""Well, I suppose I'm ready for the procession," said the Emperor. "Don't you think they are a nice fit" And he turned again in front of the mirror, in order to make the others think he was looking at his new clothes."Yes, perfectly wonderful!" cried his officials.And so the procession began.The Emperor walked in the middle of the procession, through the streets of the city. And all the people standing by and those at the windows cried out, "On, how splendid our Emperor's new clothes are! What a perfect fit!"No one dared say that he could not see the Emperor's new clothes.Suddenly a little child's voice was heard:" But he has nothing on!""Good heavens! Listen to that silly child!" said the father."Did you hear what the child said" some people nearby askedeach other.What the child had said was whispered from one to the other."I can't see anything at all on the Emperor," cried one or two of the braver ones.The cry was taken up and soon everyone was noddng and saying," BUT HE HAS NOTHING ON!"The Emperor heard the cries. He felt very silly, for he knew that the people were right. But he thought, "The procession has atarted, and it must go on!"So the Emperor held his head higher than ever. And the two officials who were following him took great trouble to hold up higher the train of the robe that wasn't there at all.LESSON 9 LADY SILKWORM蚕花娘子Long long ago, there lived in Hangzhou a girl called Aqiao. When Aqiao was nine years old, her mother died. Her father remarried and the stepmother was cruel to Aqiao and her brother.One winter morning, the stepmother told Aqiao to go out and cut some grass for the sheep. The poor girl, with a basket on her back, searched all day from the riverside to the foot of the mountain. But where could she find any green grass in winter She was tired, cold and hungry, but she was afraid to go home and face her stepmother.As she walked along, she noticed an old pine tree ahead at the entrance to a valley. Aqiao pushed the branches aside. She saw a brook with red flowers and green grass on both sides. She bent down immediately to cut the grass. She went on cutting and cutting until she came to the end of the brook. She stood up to wipe the sweat off her face. Suddenly she saw a lady all in white standing in front of her. The lady was smiling."Little girl, how nice to see you! Won't you come and stay with us for a while"Aqiao looked around. To her surprise, she found herself in a different world. There were rows of white houses with trees in front of them. The leaves on the trees were green and large. And there were many other ladies in white, who were singing and picking the leaves from the trees.Aqiao liked what she saw and decided to stay.After that she worked together with the ladies in white. They picked leaves from the trees, and fed them to some little white worms. Slowly, the little worms would grow up and spit out silk to form cocoons. The lady in white told Aqiao how to reel the shining silk from these cocoons and how to dye the silk different colors.Time passed quickly and three months went by before Aqiao knew it.One day, Aqiao thought of her brother:"Why not ask my brother to cme here too"Early next morning, without telling the lady in white, she hurried back home. When left, Aqiao took some silkworm eggs and a bag of mulberry seeds with her. As she walked, she dropped the seeds along the road so that she would know the way back.When Aqiao reached home, she found that her father had grown old and her brother had become a young man. The cruel stepmother had died.It had been fifteen years since she left!"Aqiao! Why didn't you come home all these years Where have you been"Aqiao told her father all that had happened. Her father thought that she must have met a fairy.The next day Aqiao decided to go back to the valley with her brother. But when she opened the door, she found things had changed. The road was lined with mulberry trees. All the seeds she had dropped had grown into trees. She walked along the trail of mulberry trees until she came to the valley. The old pine tree still stood there like an umbrella covering the entrance, but she could no longer find a way to get into the valley. So all she could do was to go back home.It was said that that was how the Chinese first raised silkworms. The lady in white whom Aqiao met in the valley was Lady Silkworm, the fairy in charge of the harvesting of silk.LESSON 10 THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA中国的万里长城The Great Wall of China, the longest wall in the world, runs across north China like a huge dragon. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys, till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world. And it was one of the few man-made objects on earth that could be seen by the astronauts who landed on the moon.The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period (770 476 .). During the Warring States Period (475 . - 221 .), more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms.In 221 ., the kingdom of Qin united the different parts of China into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. Thus the Great Wall came into being. Since then, it has often been added to, rebuilt and repaired, especially during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).The Great Wall, which is called in Chinese "The Ten-thousand-li Great Wall", is actually more than 6,000 kilometres long, 6-7 metres high and 4-5 metres wide. In most places it is wide enough for five horses or ten men to walk side。
怀旧大放送：1984年高中《语文》课本第一册
怀旧⼤放送：1984年⾼中《语⽂》课本第⼀册这册语⽂课本，是我上⾼中时学到的第⼀册语⽂课本，现在想起来，仍是满满的回忆。
本书是⼈民教育出版社1983年第⼀版，1984年印刷。
⽬录页。
全书共分为六个单元，其中5个单元为⽩话⽂，1个单元为⽂⾔⽂。
20篇课⽂为现代⽂学，10篇课⽂为古典⽂学（不含古典⽩话⼩说，觉得⽂⾔⽂占的⽐例为1/3，⽐重挺⼤的）。
30篇课⽂中有15篇阅读课⽂。
单元之间有语⽂知识专题4个。
第⼀单元，为散⽂单元，共三篇课⽂。
第⼀课，《散⽂两篇》，是朱⾃清的散⽂代表作《荷塘⽉⾊》和《绿》。
朱⾃清散⽂主是现代⽩话⽂学的典范之作。
这两篇都是⾮常精美的写景抒情散⽂。
当时上学时，⾮常喜欢。
到现在还经常引⽤他的名句，⽐如看到荷叶，就会想到“⽥⽥”，⼼情寂寞时，会说“热闹是他们的，我什么也没有”等等。
朱⾃清的⽩话⽂学，为中国现代⽩话语⾔的标杆之作，⾄于台湾有个著名诗⼈贬低朱⾃清的散⽂，只当⼀笑罢了。
第⼆课，刘⽩⽻的《长江三峡》，是⼀篇阅读课⽂。
现在没有什么印象了。
第三课，李健吾的《⾬中登泰⼭》。
也是⼀篇阅读课⽂。
当时很喜欢这篇散⽂。
和初中杨朔《泰⼭极顶》两篇都可以当作泰⼭的导游词，不仅线路完全正确，⽽且介绍了很多知识。
我两次登泰⼭，每到⼀处，都会想想这两篇散⽂的描写。
这是⼀篇语⽂知识。
原来上学时，不喜欢这种纯理论性的⽂章。
现在看来这种专题知识⾮常好，对于熟悉⽽准确掌握现代汉语的语词⾮常有帮助。
第⼆单元，是说明⽂单元。
第四课，《南州六⽉荔枝丹》，作者贾祖璋。
这篇⽂章现在也没有太多的印象了，当时只是对荔枝很是向往，但是现在荔枝很平常，也没有觉得有多好吃，⼀直不太喜欢这种味⼉。
可能和北⽅⼈的⼝味有关吧。
第五课，钱学森的《现代⾃然科学中的基础学科》，现在基本上想不起来说的什么了。
只记得作者认为数学和物理是现代⾃然科学的基础学科，其他都是在这两个基础上的分⽀。
第六课，《⼀次⼤型的泥⽯流》，是⼀篇阅读课⽂，也没有印象了。

TWO POEMS1、HOW MARX LEARNED FOREIGN LANGUAGESKarl Marx was born in Germany, and German was his native language. When he was still a young man, he was forced to leave his homeland for political reasons. He stayed in Belgium for a few years; then he went to France. Before long he had to move on again. In 1849, he went to England and made London the base for his revolutionary work.Marx had learned some French and English at school. When he got to England, he found that his English was too limited. He started working hard to improve it. He made such rapid progress that before long he began to write articles in English for an American newspaper. In fact, his English in one of these articles was so good that Engels wrote him a letter and praised him for it. Marx wrote back to say that Engels' praise had greatly encouraged him. However, he went on to explain that he was not too sure about two things--the grammar and some of the idioms.These letters were written in 1853. In the years that followed, Marx kept on studying English and using it. When he wrote one of his great works, The Civil War in France, he had mastered the language so well that he was bale to write the book in English.In the 1870's, when Marx was already in his fifties, he found it important to study the situation in Russia, so he began to learn Russian. At the end of six months he had learned enough to read articles and reports in Russian. In one of his books, Marx gave some advice on how to learn a foreign language. He said when a person is learning a foreign language; he must not always be translating everything into his own language. If he does this, it shows he has not mastered it. He must be able to use the foreign language, forgetting all about his own. If he can not do this, he has not really grasped the spirit of the foreign language and can not use it freely.2、AT HOME IN THE FUTUREA medical examination without a doctor or nurse in the room? Doing shopping at home? Borrowing books from the library without leaving your home?These ideas may seem strange to you. But scientists are working hard to turn them into realities.Let us suppose we can visit a home at the end of this century. We will visit a boy named Charlie Green. He is not feeling well this morning. His mother, Mrs Green, wants the doctor to see him. That is, she wants the doctor to listen to him. She brings a set of wires to Charlie's room. These wires are called sensors. She places one sensor in his mouth and one on his chest. She puts another one around his wrist and one on his forehead. Then she plugs the sensors into a wall outlet. She says the code "TCP". This means "telephone call placed." A little light flashes on the wall. The Green's wireless telephone is ready for a call.Mrs Green says "2478", the doctor's telephone number. From a speaker on the wall comes the doctor's voice: "Good morning.""Good morning, Dr Scott," answers Mrs Green. "Charlie isn't feeling too well this morning. I've put the sensors on him. I wonder if you can examine him now.""Sure," the doctor's voice says. "Well, he doesn't have a fever. And his pulse is fine. Now, breathe deeply, Charlie."Charlie does so."Just a little cold," says the doctor. "Better stay inside today, Charlie. And take it easy.""Thank you, Doctor," says Mrs Green. "TCC (telephone call completed)." The light on the wall turns off. The phone call and the examination are finished."Charlie," says Mrs Green," since you have to stay at home, why don't you do some shopping? You can pick out your new bicycle. After all, your birthday is only two weeks away.""Great," Charlie answers.Charlie and his mother sit in front of one of the vision phones. There are several in their house."TCP," says Charlie. The word ready appears on the screen of the vision phone."New Forest Bicycle Shop," a voice says. "May I help you?"Charlie answers, "I'd like to see your ten-speed bicycles."In the next few minutes, pictures of many models of the bicycles are flashed on the screen. The price of each model is also shown.Then the voice asks, "Are you interested in any of these models?""Yes, I'm interested in model 6.""Do you wish to place an order at this time?""Not just yet," answers Mrs Green. "My son's birthday is in two weeks' time. Thank you. TCC."The vision phone shuts off.Such would be our home in the future.2-1、A VISIT TO THE LIBRARY IN THE FUTUREThe shopping is finished. Charlie's parents tell him they have to go out for a little while. "Why don't you visit the library while we're out?" says Charlie's dad. "I know they have some new books on basket-ball, your favourite game."Charlie goes to one of the visionphones. He places a call to the library. He asks to see one of the new books on basket-ball.Basket-ball Giant, the name of the book, is flashed on the screen. "Turn," says Charlie. The first page of the book is shown on the screen. Then the second, and the third. Charlie has read about fifty pages of it. Then he hears his mother's voice coming through a speaker on the wall. Charlie turns off the visionphone. He says hello to his mother."Where are you?" he adds."We're driving on the freeway," Mrs Green says. "This is taking a little more time than we thought. We won't be back until two o'clock. Better get some lunch for yourself.""What are you doing?" Charlie asks."We'll explain later," she says."O.K." says Charlie.3、The Blind Men and the ElephantOnce upon a time there were six blind men who lived in a village in India. Every daythey went to the road nearby and stood there begging. They had often heard of elephants, but they had never seen one, for, being blind, how could they?One morning an elephant was led down the road where they stood. When they heard that an elephant was passing by, they asked the driver to stop the beast so that they could have a "look".Of course they could not look at him with their eyes, but they thought they might learn what kind of animal he was by touching and feeling him. For, you see, they trusted their own sense of touch very much.The first blind man happened to place his hand on the elephant's side. "Well, well," he said. "This beast is exactly like a wall."The second grasped one of the elephant's tusks and felt it. "You're quite mistaken," he said. "He's round and smooth and sharp. He's more like a spear than anything else."The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. "You're both completely wrong," he said. "This elephant is like a snake, as anybody can see."The fourth opened both his arms and closed them round one of the elephant's legs. "Oh, how blind you are!" he cried. "It's very clear that he's round and tall like a tree."The fifth was a very tall man, and he caught hold of one of the elephant's ears. "Even the blindest person must see that this elephant isn't like any of the things you name," he said. "He's exactly like a huge fan."The sixth man went forward to feel the elephant. He was old and slow and it took him quite some time to find the elephant at all. At last he got hold of the beast's tail. "Oh, how silly you all are!" cried he. "The elephant isn't like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree; neither is he like a fan. Any man with eyes in his head can see thathe's exactly like a rope."Then the driver and the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, quarrelling about the elephant. They could not agree with one another, because each believed that he knew just what the beast looked like.It is not only blind men who make such stupid mistakes. People who can see sometimes act just as foolishly.4、GALILEO AND ARISTOTLEAbout 2300 years ago, there lived in Greece a great thinker named Aristotle. He observed that feathers fell to the ground slowly, while stones fell much faster. He thought it over carefully and concluded that heavy objects always fell faster than light ones. His conclusion certainly sounded reasonable. But we now know that it is not true.In those days people seldom did experiments to test their ideas. When they observed anything that happened, they thought about it and then drew a conclusion. Once Aristotle made up his mind that heavy objects always fell faster than light objects, he taught it as a truth to his students. And because he was Aristotle, the great thinker, no one questioned his idea for almost 2000 years.Then, almost 400 years ago, an Italian scientist named Galileo began to question Aristotle's theory of falling objects. He was not ready to believe something just because Aristotle said so. He decided to do some experiments to test Aristotle's theory.Galileo lived in the city of Pisa, where there is a leaning tower about 180 feet high. From the top of the tower Galileo dropped a light ball and a heavy ball at exactly the same time. They both fell at about the same speed and hit the ground together. He tried the experiments again and again. Every time he got the same result. At last, he decided that he had found the truth about falling objects. As we know now, heavy objects and light objects fall at the same speed unless air holds them back. A feather falls slower than a stone only because the air holds the feather back more than it does the stone.When Galileo told people of his discovery, no one would believe him. But Galileo was not discouraged. He went on doing experiments to test the truth of other old ideas. He built a telescope through which he could study the skies. He collected facts that proved the earth and all the other planets move around the sun.Today we praise Galileo and call him one of the founders of modern science. He observed things carefully and never took anything for granted. Instead, he did experiments to test and prove an idea before he was ready to accept it.An experiment was done on the moon in July, 1971. One of the US astronauts who made the first deep space walk on the moon dropped a hammer and a feather together. They both landed on the surface of the moon at the same time. This experiment proved that Galileo's theory of falling objects is true.4-1、PENICILLINIf you leave a piece of bread in a warm damp place, mould will soon grow on it. When this happens, we say the bread "has gone mouldy". Mould can grow on all kinds of things besides food. It grows from spores which are in the air. If the conditions are right, a spore can quickly get around and form a mould. This happens quite commenly. We have all probably seen it.In 1928, Sir Alexander Fleming found that mould had killed some germs he was trying to grow in his lab. If he had not noticed this, the world would have lost one of the greatest discoveries of the century. Fleming called the substance "penicillin".Because penicillin can kill germs, doctors use it to treat diseases. It has saved millions oflives. Scientists grow large quantities of common mould so that they can get penicillin from it in order to make antibiotics, that is, substances that kill germs. Next time you see some mould on a piece of bread, remember that it is one of man's greatest friends!5、The Lost NecklacePlace: a park in ParisTime: a summer afternoon in 1870People: Mathilde Loisel, wife Pierre Loisel, husband(Jeanne is sitting in the park. Mathilde walks towards her, she stops and speaks to Jeanne.) Mathilde: Good afternoon, Jeanne.Jeanne : (Looking at the other woman) I’m sorry, but I don，t think I know you. Mathilde: No, you wouldn’t but many years ago you knew me well. I，m Mathilde Loisel.Jeanne : Mathilde! My old school friend. Is it possible? But yes, of course it is .Now I remember. Where have you been all these years, Mathilde? I hope you were n’t ill . Mathilde: No, Jeanne, I was n’t ill . You see here an old woman. But it’s because of hard work—ten years of hard work.Jeanne : But I don，t understand, Mathilde . There，s only one year between us ; I’m thirty-five and you’re thirty-four. Can hard work change a person that much?Mathilde : Yes, it can . Years of hard work, little food, only a cold room to live in and never, never a moment to rest. That has been my life for these past ten years.Jeanne : Mathilde! I did n’t know. I’m sorry. But what happened?Mathilde: Well, I would rather not tell you.Jeanne : Oh , come, Mathilde. Surely you can tell an old friend.Mathilde: Well, …Well, it was all because of that neckla ce . Your necklace.Jeanne : My necklace ?Mathilde: Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace?Jeanne : Let me think . Ten years ago … Oh, yes, I remember. You were going to the palace with your husband, I think.Mathilde: Right. Pierre was working in a government office, and for the first time in our lives we were invited to an important ball.(The scene changes to that evening in the home of Pierre and Mathilde Loisel.)Pierre : Yes , Mathilde, we，re going to the ball, the palace ball !Mathilde: I can，t believe it!Pierre : But it，s true.Mathilde: Oh, Pierre, how wonderful! But I haven，t got a dress for the ball !Pierre : What does a new evening dress cost?Mathilde: About four hundred francs.Pierre : Four hundred ! That，s a lot of money . But perhaps, just this once, we’ll use what we have to get a new dress for you. This ball is very important to me. I was the onlyperson in my office who was invited.Mathilde: Thank you, Pierre, you，re so kind. Oh! But there，s one other thing…Pierre : What is it, Mathilde?Mathilde: I…I have no jewelry .Pierre ：Jewelry? Do you need jewelry? Why not just a flower?Mathilde: To go to the palace with just a flower is to say “I’m poor . I haven’t got any jew elry.”Pierre : Can’t you borrow some jewelry from a friend , Mathilde ?Mathilde: Which friend ? My friends are all poor, too.Pierre : Let me think . How about Jeanne? She married well. Perhaps she has some. Mathilde: Ah, yes, Jeanne. She married a ma n with a lot of money. I’ll go and see her on Friday, after I get the new dress.Pierre : I，m sure she has something you can borrow.(The scene changes back to the park. Mathilde continues to tell Jeanne her story.)Mathilde: One Friday I came to see you, Jeanne. Remember?Jeanne : Yes , Mathilde, I remember.Mathilde: You were very kind. You brought out your jewelry and told me to take anything I wanted.Jeanne : (Smiling) You were like a little girl. Your eyes became so big.Mathilde: There were so many things and they were all beautiful. It was hard to choose. Jeanne : Until you saw the diamond necklace.Mathilde: Yes, and then I knew I wanted to borrow the necklace. I didn’t want anything else , only the necklace.Jeanne : I，m sure you looked beautiful that evening, Mathilde. You were always a very pretty girl.Mathilde: Perhaps in those days I was, but everything changed after that night at the palace. Jeanne : Didn’t you have a good time at the ball ?Mathilde: Yes, a very good time, but that was the last time…the last happy evening for the next ten years.Jeanne : But why , Mathilde?Mathilde: On the way home I looked down at my dress and saw that the necklace was gone. I told Pierre. We returned to the palace and looked in every room, but couldn’t find it.I never saw your necklace again, Jeanne.Jeanne : But Mathilde, you brought it back to me the next afternoon. I remember very well. Mathilde: Yes, Jeanne, I brought a necklace to you. It was exactly like your necklace but it wasa different one. I hope it was as good as the one you lent me. It cost us thirty-sixthousand francs.Jeanne : Thirty-six thousand !Mathilde: Yes, Pierre and I borrowed the money and bought it. During the next ten years we both worked night and day to pay for it. That is why you see this old woman beforeyou now, Jeanne. Well, after all these years we’ve at last paid off all our debts. Jeanne : But Mathilde, my dear friend, that wasn’t a real diamond necklace you borrowed from me. It was made of glass. It was worth five hundred francs at the most.5-1、THE VAIN STAGOne hot day a big stag that had a pair of very large antlers stood on the bank of a river. He was thirsty and went down to the water to drink. Suddenly he saw his reflection in the water. He was very pleased with what he saw. “Oh,” he said. “What a beautiful pair of antlers I’ve got! How fine my head is! How proud I look! Nobody has such beautiful antlers as I have. Perhaps some people will say that my antlers are too b ig, but I don’t think so. I like them very much.” And the vain stag looked again at his reflection in the water.Suddenly he heard the barking of dogs. Three hunters and their dogs came out of the forest. The stag ran across the field into the forest. He was already far from the dogs, but he caught hisantlers in the branches of some low trees and could not get away.The dogs ran up to him and pulled him to the ground. Then the hunters came up and killed him.6、ABRAHAM LINCOLNAbraham Lincoln, the son of a poor family, was born in Kentucky on February 12, 1809. He spent his childhood in hard work, helping his father on their small farm. His mother, who he loved dearly, died in 1818. Happily for him, his father' s second wife was kind to him too. When she saw that Abraham liked reading, she did all she could to help him. But the family was poor and the boy could not get many books. Abraham Lincoln later said himself that he only went to school a little now and little then. His whole school education added up to no more than one year.As a young man he was a storekeeper and later a postmaster. He studied law in his spare time and became a lawyer. He was active in politics and strongly against slavery. In all his political life, he thought of building a free state for all the people.In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States. Then he worked still harder for freedom for the slaves. Soon the Southern states rebelled. They set up a state of their own, where they would be free to keep Negroes as slaves. Lincoln said that it was not right for the south to break away from the Union. Fighting broke out between the North and the South. This was the American Civil War. The war lasted four years before the North won in the end. The nation was reunited and the slaves were set free.In 1864, Lincoln was elected President of the United States for the second time. But his enemies, the slave owners in the South and the bankers in big cities, who had grown rich on the work of the slaves, could not let Lincoln continue his work. He, who led the United States through these years, was shot on April 14, 1865, at a theatre in Washington, D.C. and died early the next morning. The whole nation was in deep sorrow at this news, for the people had come to love him as an inspiring leader, and a wise, warm-hearted, honest man.About seventeen months before his death, at the opening of a memorial to the many men who lost their lives fighting for the freedom of the Negroes, Abraham Lincoln told his people that the living must finish the work of those dead; that they must fight for freedom forall-Negroes and whites; that America must strengthen government of the people, by the people and for the people.Today, Abraham Lincoln is regarded as one of the greatest of all American presidents.6-1、GEORGE WASHINGTON AND HIS HATCHETWhen George Washington was quite a little boy，his father gave him a hatchet. It was bright and new，and George took great delight in going about and chopping things with it.He ran into the garden，and there he saw a tree which seemed to say to him，“Come and cut me down！”George had often seen his father's men chop down great trees in the forest，and he thought that it would be fine sport to see this tree fall with a crash to the ground. So he set to work with his little hatchet，and，as the tree was a very small one，it did not take long to chop it down.Soon after that，his father came home.“Who cut my fine young cherry tree？”he cried.“It was the only tree of this kind in this country，and it cost me a great deal of money.”He was very angry when he came into the house.“If only I knew who killed that cherry tree，”he cried，“I would ... yes，I would ...”“Father！”cried little George.“I chopped the tree down with my hatchet.”His father forgot his anger.“George，”he said，and he took the little fellow in his arms，“George，I am glad that you told me about it. I would rather lose a dozen cherry trees than that you should tell one lie.”7、8、THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHESMany years ago there lived an Emperor, who cared more for fine new clothes than for anything else. He had different clothes for every hour of the day.One day two cheats came to see the Emperor. They called themselves weavers and said that they knew how to weave cloth of the most beautiful colors and designs in the world. They also said that the most interesting thing about the cloth was that clothes made of it would be invisible to anyone who was either stupid or unfit for his office."Ah, what splendid clothes!" thought the Emperor. "They are just what I shall have. When I put them on, I shall be able to find out which men in my empire are unfit for their offices. And I shall be able to tell who are wise and who are foolish. This cloth must be woven for me right away."The Emperor gave the cheats some gold in order that they might begin their work at once.So the two men set up two looms and pretended to be working very hard. They asked for the most beautiful silk and the best gold thread. This they kept for themselves. And then they went on with their work at the empty looms until late into the night.After some time had passed, the Emperor said to himself, "I wonder how the weavers are getting along with my cloth." Then he remembered that those who were either fools or unfit for their offices could not see the cloth. Though he believed that he ought to have nothing to fear for himself, he wanted someone else to look at the cloth first.The Emperor thought a while and decided to send his old Prime Minister to see the cloth. He thought the Prime Minister a wise, honest man who was more fit for his office than anyone else.So the old Prime Minister went into the hall where the cheats were working at the empty looms."God save me!" thought the old man, opening his eyes very wide. "I can't see anything atall." But he was careful not to say so.The men who were pretending to weave asked him to come closer. They pointed to the empty looms and asked him if he liked the design and the colors.The poor old Prime Minister opened his eyes wider, but he could see nothing on the looms."Dear me," he said to himself, "Am I foolish or unfit for my office? I must never tell anyone that I could not see the cloth.""Oh! it's most beautiful!" said the Prime Minister quickly. "The design and the colors! I will tell the Emperor how wonderful they are."The Emperor was pleased by what the Prime Minister told him about the cloth. Soon after, he sent another official to find out how soon the cloth would be ready. The same thing happened. The official could see nothing, but he sang high praise for the cloth. When he got back, he told the Emperor that the cloth was beautiful indeed.All the people in the city were now talking about this wonderful cloth which the Emperor had ordered to be woven for so much money. And they were eager to know how wise or foolish their friends and neighbors might be.Now at last the Emperor wished to go himself and see the cloth while it was still on the looms. He took with him a few of his officials, including the old Prime Minister and the official who had already been there.As soon as the weavers heard the Emperor coming, they pretended to work harder than ever, though they were not weaving a single thread through the empty looms."Isn't the cloth magnificent?" said the official and the Prime Minister. "What a splendid design! And what colors!" they said, while pointing to the empty looms. They thought that everyone else could see the wonderful work of the weavers though they could not see it themselves."What on earth can this mean?" said the Emperor to himself. "I don't see anything. This is horrible! But I mustn't let anyone know.""The cloth is beautiful," he cried out loud. "Beautiful! I am very pleased with it."The officials could see no more than the Emper or, but they all shouted, ‘Beautiful! Excellent! Magnificent!" and other such expressions. They told the Emperor that he should have new clothes made of this splendid cloth for the coming great procession.。

英语课文翻译【必修一】Unit 1P2安妮最好的朋友你是不是想有一位无话不谈能推心置腹的朋友呢?或者你是不是担心你的朋友会嘲笑你，会不理解你目前的困境呢?安妮?弗兰克想要的是第一种类型的朋友，于是她就把日记当成了她最好的朋友。
安妮在第二次世界大战期间住在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹。
她一家人都是犹太人，所以他们不得不躲藏起来，否则他们就会被德国纳粹抓去。
她和她的家人躲藏了两年之后才被发现。
在这段时间里，她唯一的忠实朋友就是她的日记了。
她说，“我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账。
我要把这本日记当作我的朋友，我要把我这个朋友称作基蒂”。
安妮自从1942年7月起就躲藏在那儿了，现在，来看看她的心情吧。
亲爱的基蒂：我不知道这是不是因为我长久无法出门的缘故，我变得对一切与大自然有关的事物都无比狂热。
我记得非常清楚，以前，湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花，从未令我心迷神往过。
自从我来到这里，这一切都变了。
……比方说，有天晚上天气很暖和，我熬到11点半故意不睡觉，为的是独自好好看看月亮。
但是因为月光太亮了，我不敢打开窗户。
还有一次，就在五个月以前的一个晚上，我碰巧在楼上，窗户是开着的。
我一直等到非关窗不可的时候才下楼去。
漆黑的夜晚，风吹雨打，雷电交加，我全然被这种力量镇住了。
这是我一年半以来第一次目睹夜晚…………令人伤心的是……我只能透过脏兮兮的窗帘观看大自然，窗帘悬挂在沾满灰尘的窗前，但观看这些已经不再是乐趣，因为大自然是你必须亲身体验的。
Unit 2P9通向现代英语之路16世纪末期大约有5百万到7百万人说英语，几乎所有这些人都生活在英国。
后来，在17世纪英国人开始航海征服了世界其它地区。
于是，许多别的国家开始说英语了。
如今说英语的人比以往任何时候都多，他们有的是作为第一语言来说，有的是作为第二语言或外语。
以英语作为母语的人，即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同，也可以互相交流。
请看以下例子：英国人贝蒂：“请到我的公寓（flat）里来看看，好吗？”美国人艾米：“好的。

Theme of the Text
• This story focuses on the real cause of the Subprime Mortgage Crisis in America. Contrary to general views, the author believes the crisis was triggered by a deep cultural predisposition (倾向) that leads to the Americans’ fascination with bigger and bigger houses which tend to label the big property owners successful. Therefore, instead of placing blame on Wall Street firms, he concludes the American people themselves are the culprits behind the economic crisis.

英语课文翻译【必修一】Unit 1P2安妮最好的朋友你是不是想有一位无话不谈能推心置腹的朋友呢?或者你是不是担心你的朋友会嘲笑你，会不理解你目前的困境呢?安妮?弗兰克想要的是第一种类型的朋友，于是她就把日记当成了她最好的朋友。
安妮在第二次世界大战期间住在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹。
她一家人都是犹太人，所以他们不得不躲藏起来，否则他们就会被德国纳粹抓去。
她和她的家人躲藏了两年之后才被发现。
在这段时间里，她唯一的忠实朋友就是她的日记了。
她说，“我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账。
我要把这本日记当作我的朋友，我要把我这个朋友称作基蒂”。
安妮自从1942年7月起就躲藏在那儿了，现在，来看看她的心情吧。
亲爱的基蒂：我不知道这是不是因为我长久无法出门的缘故，我变得对一切与大自然有关的事物都无比狂热。
我记得非常清楚，以前，湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花，从未令我心迷神往过。
自从我来到这里，这一切都变了。
……比方说，有天晚上天气很暖和，我熬到11点半故意不睡觉，为的是独自好好看看月亮。
但是因为月光太亮了，我不敢打开窗户。
还有一次，就在五个月以前的一个晚上，我碰巧在楼上，窗户是开着的。
我一直等到非关窗不可的时候才下楼去。
漆黑的夜晚，风吹雨打，雷电交加，我全然被这种力量镇住了。
这是我一年半以来第一次目睹夜晚…………令人伤心的是……我只能透过脏兮兮的窗帘观看大自然，窗帘悬挂在沾满灰尘的窗前，但观看这些已经不再是乐趣，因为大自然是你必须亲身体验的。
Unit 2P9通向现代英语之路16世纪末期大约有5百万到7百万人说英语，几乎所有这些人都生活在英国。
后来，在17世纪英国人开始航海征服了世界其它地区。
于是，许多别的国家开始说英语了。
如今说英语的人比以往任何时候都多，他们有的是作为第一语言来说，有的是作为第二语言或外语。
以英语作为母语的人，即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同，也可以互相交流。
请看以下例子：英国人贝蒂：“请到我的公寓（flat）里来看看，好吗？”美国人艾米：“好的。

1984年版高中英语课本第一册LESSON 1 HOW MARX LEARNED FOREIGN LANGUAGES马克思怎样学习外语Karl Marx was born in Germany, and German was his native language. When he was still a young man, he was forced to leave his homeland for political reasons. He stayed in Belgium for a few years; then he went to France. Before long he had to move on again. In 1849, he went to England and made London the base for his revolutionary work.Marx had learned some French and English at school. When he got to England, he found that his English was too limited. He started working hard to improve it. He made such rapid progress that before long he began to write articles in English for an American newspaper. In fact, his English in one of these articles was so good that Engels wrote him a letter and praised him for it. Marx wrote back to say that Engels' praise had greatly encouraged him. However, he went on to explain that he was not too sure about two things -- the grammar and some of the idioms.These letters were written in 1853. In the years that followed, Marx kept on studying English and using it. When he wrote one of his great works, The Civil War in France, he had mastered the language so well that he was able to write the book in English.In the 1870s, when Marx was already in his fifties, he found it important to study the situation in Russia, so he began to learn Russian. At the end of six months he had learned enough to read articles and reports in Russian.In one of his books, Marx gave some advice on how to learn a foreign language. He said when people are learning a foreign language, they should not translate everything into their own language. If they do this, it shows they have not mastered it. When they used the foreign language, they should try to forget all about their own. If they cannot do this, they have not really learned the spirit of the foreign language and cannot use it freely.LESSON 2 AT HOME IN THE FUTURE未来的家A medical examination without a doctor or nurse in the room? Doing shopping at home? Borrowing books from the library without leaving your home?These ideas may seem strange to you. But scientists are working hard to turn them into realities.Let us suppose we can visit a home at the end of this century. We will visit a boy named Charlie Green. He is not feeling well this morning. His mother, Mrs Green, wants the doctor to see him. That is, she wants the doctor to listen to him. She brings a set of wires to Charlie's room. These wires are called sensors. She places one sensor in his mouth and one on his chest. She puts another one around his wrist and one on his forehead. Then she plugs the sensors into a wall outlet. She says the code "TCP". This means "telephone call placed." A little light flashes on the wall. The Green's wireless telephone is ready for a call.Mrs Green says "2478", the doctor's telephone number. From a speaker on the wall comes the doctor's voice: "Good morning.""Good morning, Dr Scott," answers Mrs Green. "Charlie isn't feeling too well this morning. I've put the sensors on him. I wonder if you can examine him now.""Sure," the doctor's voice says. "Well, he doesn't have a fever. And his pulse is fine. Now, breathe deeply, Charlie."Charlie does so."Just a little cold," says the doctor. "Better stay inside today, Charlie. And take it easy.""Thank you, Doctor," says Mrs Green. "TCC (telephone call completed)." The light on the wall turns off. The phone call and the examination are finished."Charlie," says Mrs Green," since you have to stay at home, why don't you do some shopping? You can pick out your new bicycle. After all, your birthday is only two weeks away.""Great," Charlie answers.Charlie and his mother sit in front of one of the visionphones. There are several in their house."TCP," says Charlie. The word ready appears on the screen of the visionphone."New Forest Bicycle Shop," a voice says. "May I help you?"Charlie answers, "I'd like to see your ten-speed bicycles."In the next few minutes, pictures of many models of the bicycles are flashed on the creen. The price of each model is also shown.Then the voice asks, "Are you interested in any of these models?""Yes, I'm interested in model 6.""Do you wish to place an order at this time?""Not just yet," answers Mrs Green. "My son's birthday is in two weeks' time. Thank you. TCC."The visionphone shuts off.Such would be our home in the future.LESSON 3 THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT盲人和象Once upon a time there were six blind men who lived in a village in India. Every day they went to the road nearby and stood there begging. They had often heard of elephants, but they had never seen one, for , being blind, how could they?One morning an elephant was led down the road where they stood. When they heard that an elephant was passing by, they asked the driver to stop the beast so that they could have a "look".Of course they could not look at him with their eyes, but they thought they might learn what kind of animal he was by touching and feeling him. For, you see, they trust their own sense of touch very much.The first blind man happened to place his hand on the elephant's side. "Well, well, " he said. "This beast is exactly like a wall."The second grasped one of the elephant's tusks and felt it. "You're quite mistaken," he said. "He's round and smooth and sharp. He's more like a spear than anything else."The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. "You're both completely wrong," he said. "This elephant is like a snake, as anybody can see."The fourth opened both his arms the closed them around one of the elephant's legs. "Oh, how blind you are!" he cried. "It's very clear that he's round and tall like a tree."The fifth was a very tall man, and he caught one of the elephant's ears. "Even the blindest person must see that this elephant isn't like any of the things you name." he siad. "He's exactly like a huge fan."The sixth man went forward to feel the elephant. He was old and slow and it took him quite some time to find the elephant at all. At last he got hold of the beast's tail. "Oh, how silly you all are!" cried he. "The elephant isn't like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree; neither is he like a fan. Any man with eyes in his head can see that he's exactly like a rope."Then the driver and the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, quarrelling aboutthe elephant. They could not agree with one another, because each believed that he knew just what the beast looked like.It is not only blind men who make such stupid mistakes. People who can see sometimes act just as foolishly.LESSON 4 GALILEO AND ARISTOTLE伽利略和亚里斯多德About 2300 years ago, there lived in Greece a great thinker named Aristotle. He observed that feathers fell to the ground slowly, while stones fell much faster. He thought it over carefully and concluded that heavy objects always fell faster than light ones. His conclusion certainly sounded reasonale. But we now know that it is not true.In those days people seldom did experiments to test their ideas. When they observed anything that happened, they thought about it and then drew a conclusion. Once Aristotle made up his mind that heavy objects always fell faster than light objects, he taught it as a truth to his students. And because he was Aristotle, the great thinker, no one questioned his idea for almost 2000 years.Then, almost 400 years ago, an Italian scientist named Galileo began to question Aristotle's theory of falling objects. He was not ready to believe something just because Aristotle said so. He decided to do some experiments to test Aristotle's theory.Galileo lived in the city of Pisa, where there is a leaning tower about 180 feet high. From the top of the tower Galileo dropped a light ball and a heavy ball at exactly the same time. They both fell at about the same speed and hit the ground together. He tried the experiments again and again. Every time he got the same result. At last, he decided that he had found the truth about falling objects. As we know now, heavy objects and light objects fall at the same speed unless air holds them back. A feather falls slower than a stone only because the air holds the feather back more than it does the stone.When Galileo told people of his discovery, no one would belive him. But Galileo was not discouraged. He went on doing experiments to test the truth of other old ideas. He built a telescope through which he could study the skies. He collected facts that proved the earth and all the other planets move around the sun.Today we praise Galileo and call him one of the founders of modern science. He observed things carefully and never took anything for granted. Instead, he did experiments to test and prove an idea before he was ready to accept it.An experiment was done on the moon in July, 1971. One of the US astronauts who made the first deep space walk on the moon dropped a hammer and a feather together. They both landed on the surface of the moon at the same time. This experiment proved that Galileo's theory of falling objects is true.LESSON 5 THE LOST NECKLACE丢失的项链Place: a park in ParisTime: a summer afternoon in 1870People: Mathilde Loisel, wifePierre Loisel, husbandJeanne Forrestier, their friend(Jeanne is sitting in the park. Mathilde walks towards her, she stops and speaks to Jeanne.)Mathilde: Good afternoon, Jeanne.Jeanne: (Looking at the other woman) I'm sorry, but I don't think I know you.Mathilde: No, you wouldn't, but many years ago you knew me well. I'm Mathilde Loisel.Jeanne: Mathilde! My old school friend. Is it possible? But yes, of course it is. Now I remember. Where have you been all these years, Mathilde? I hope you weren't ill.Mathilde: No, Jeanne, I wasn't ill. You see here an old woman. But it's because of hard work - ten years of hard work.Jeanne: But I don't understand, Mathilde. There's only one year between us; I'm thirty-five and you're thirty-four. Can hard work change a person that much?Mathilde: Yes, it can. Years of hard work, little food, only a cold room to live in and never, never a moment to rest. That has been my life for these past ten years.Jeanne: Mathilde! I didin't know. I'm sorry. But what happened?Mathilde: Well, I would rather not tell you.Jeanne: Oh, come, Mathilde .Surely you can tell an old friend.Mathilde: Well, ... Well, it was all necause of that necklace. Your necklace.Jeanne: My necklace?Mathilde: Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace?Jeanne: Let me think. Ten years ago... Oh, yes, I remember. You were going to the palace with your husband, I think.Mathilde: Right. Pierre was working in a govenrment office, and for the first time in our lives we were invited to an important ball.(The scene changed to that evening in the home of Pierre and Mathilde Loisel.)Pierre: Yes, Mathilde, we're going to the ball, the palace ball!Mathilde: I can't believe it!Piere: But it's true.Mathilde: Oh, Piere, how wonderful! But I haven't got a dress for the ball!Pierre；What does a new evening dress cost?Mathilde: Mathilde: About four hundred francs.Pierre: Four hundred! That's a lot of money. But perhaps, just this once, we'll use what we have to get a new dress for you. This ball is very important to me. I was the only person in my office who was invited. Mathilde: Thank you, Pierre, you're so kind. Oh, but there's one other thing...Pierre: What is it, Mathilde?Mathlde: I ... I have no jewelry.Pierre: Jewelry? Do you need jewelry? Why not just a flower?Mathilde: To go to the palace with just a flower is to say "I'm poor. I haven't got any jewelry."Pierre: Can't you borrow some jewelry from a friend, Mathilde?Mathilde: Which friend? My friends are all poor, too.Pierre: Let me think. How about Jeanne? She married well. Perhaps she has some.Mathilde: Ah, yes, Jeanne. She married a man with a lot of money. I'll go and see her on Friday, after I get the new dress.Pierre: I'm sure she has something you can borrow.(The scene changes back to the park. Mathilde continues to tell Jeanne her story.)Mathilde: One Friday I came to see you, Jeanne. Remember?Jeanne: Yes, Mathilde, I remember.Mathilde: You were very kind. You brought out your jewelry and told me to take anything I wanted. Jeanne: (Smiling) You were like a little girl. Your eyes became so big.Mathilde: There were so many things and they were all beautiful. It was hard to choose.Jeanne: Until you saw the diamond necklace.Mathlde: Yes, and then I knew I wanted to borrow the necklace. I didn't want anything else, only the necklace.Jeanne: I'm sure you looked beautiful that evening, Mathilde. You were always a very pretty girl. Mathilde: Perhaps in those days I was, but everything changed after that night at the palace.Jeanne: Didn't you have a good time at that ball?Mathilde: Yes, a very good time, but that was the last time... the last happy evening for the next ten years.Jeanne: But why, Mathilde?Mathilde: On the way home I looked down at my dress and saw that the necklace was gone. I told Pierre. We returned to the palace and looked in every room, but couldn't find it. I never saw your necklace again, Jeanne.Jeanne: But Mathilde, you brought it back to me the next afternoon. I remember very well. Mathilde: Yes, Jeanne, I brought a necklace to you. It was exactly like your necklace but it was a different one. I hope it was as good as the one you lent me. It cost us thirty-six thousand francs.Jeanne: Thirty-six thousand!Mathilde: Yes, Pierre and I brrowed the money and bought it. During the next ten years we both worked night and day to pay for it. That is why you see this old woman before you now, Jeanne. Well, after all these years we've paid off all our debts.Jeanne: But Mathilde, my dear friend, that wasn't a real diamond necklace you borrowed from me. It was made of glass. It was worth five hundred francs at the most.LESSON 6 ABRAHAM LINCOLN亚伯拉罕·林肯Abraham Lincoln, the son of a poor family, was born in Kentucky on February 12, 1809. He spent his childhood in hard work, helping his father on their small farm. His mother, who he loved dearly, died in 1818. Happily for him, his father' s second wife was kind to him too. When she saw that Abraham liked reading, she did all she could to help him. But the family was poor and the boy could not get many books. Abraham Lincoln later said himself that he only went to school a little now and little then. His whole school education added up to no more than one year.As a young man he was a storekeeper and later a postmaster. He studied law in his spare time and became a lawyer. He was active in politics and strongly against slavery. In all his political life, he thought of building a free state for all the people.In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States. Then he worked still harder for freedom for the slaves. Soon the Southern states rebelled. They set up a state of their own, where they would be free to keep Negroes as slaves. Lincoln said that it was not right for the south to break away from the Union. Fighting broke out between the North and the South. This was the American Civil War. The war lasted four years before the North won in the end. The nation was reunioned and the slaves were set free.In 1864, Lincoln was elected President of the United States for the second time. But his enemies, the slave owners in the South and the bankers in big cities, who had grown rich on the work of the slaves, could not let Lincoln continue his work. He, who led the United States through these years, was shot on April 14,1865, at a theatre in Washington, D.C. and died early the next morning. The whole nation was in deep sorrow at this news, for the people had come to love him as an inspiring leader, and a wise, warm-hearted, honest man.About seventeen months before his death, at the opening of a memorial to the many men who lost their lives fighting for the freedom of the Negroes, Abraham Lincoln told his people that the living must finish the work of those dead; that they must fight for freedom for all-Negroes and whites; that America must strengthen government of the people, by the people and for the people.Today, Abraham Lincoln is regarded as one of the greatest of all American presidents.LESSON 7 THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES皇帝的新装Many years ago there lived an Emperor, who cared more for fine new clothes than for anything else. He had different clothes for every hour of the day.One day two cheats camt to see the Emperor. They called themselves weavers and said that they knew how to weave cloth of the most beautiful colors and designs in the world. They also said that the most interesting thing about the cloth was that clothes made of it would be invisible to anyone who was either stupid or unfit for his office."Ah, what splendid clothes!" thought the Emperor. "They are just what I shall have. When I put them on, I shall be able to find out which men in my empire are unfit for their offices. And I shall be able to tell who are wise and who are foolish. This cloth must be woven for me right away."The Emperor gave the cheats some gold in order that they might begin their work at once.So the two men set up two looms and pretended to be working very hard. They asked for the most beautiful silk and the best gold thread. This they kept for themselves. And then they went on with their work at the empty looms until late into the night.After some time had passed, the Emperor said to himself, "I wonder how the weavers are getting along with my cloth." Then he remembered that those who were either fools or unfit for their offices could not see the cloth. Though he believed that he ought to have nothing to fear for himself, he wanted someone else to look at the cloth first.The Emperor thought a while and decided to send his old Prime Minister to see the cloth. He thought the Prime Minister a wise, honest man who was more fit for his office than anyone else.So the old Prinme Minister went into the hall where the cheats were working at the empty looms."God save me!" thought the old man, opening his eyes very wide. "I can't see anything at all." But he was careful not to say so.The men who were pretending to weave asked him to come closer. They pointed to the empty looms and asked him if he liked the design and the colors.The poor old Prime Minister opend his eyes wid wider, but he could see nothing on the looms."Dear me," he said to himself, "Am I foolish or unfit for my office? I must never tell anyone that I could not see the cloth.""Oh! it's most beautiful!" said the Prime Minister quickly. "The design and the colors! I will tell the Emperor how wonderful they are."The Emperor was pleased by what the Prime Minister told him about the cloth. Soon after, he sent another official to find out how soon the cloth would be ready. The same thing happened. The official could see nothing, but he sang high praise for the cloth. When he got back, he told the Emperor that the cloth was beautiful indeed.All the people in the city were now talking about this wonderful cloth which the Emperor had ordered ro be woven for so much money.And they were eager to know how wise or foolish their friends and neighbors might be.LESSON 8 THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES(Continued)皇帝的新装（续）Now at last the Emperor wished to go himself and see the cloth while it was still on the looms. He took with him a few of his officials, including the old Prinme Minister and the official who had already been there.As soon as the weavers heard the Emperor coming, they pretended to work harder than ever, though they were not weaving a single thread through the empty looms."Isn't the cloth magnificent?" said the official and the Prime Minister. "What a splendid design! And what colors!" they said, while pointing to the empty looms. They thought that everyone else could see the wonderful work of the weavers though they could not see it themselves."What on earth can this mean?" said the Emperor to himself. "I don't see anything. This is horrible! But I mustn't let anyonek now.""The cloth is beautiful," he cried out loud. "Beautiful! I am very pleased with it."The officials could see no more than the Emperor, but they all shouted, ‘Beautiful! Excellent! Magnificent!" and other such expressions. They told the Emperor that he should have new clothes made of this splendid cloth for the coming great procession.They Emperor nodded. He cried hard to pretend to share in the pleasure of his officials and gave each of the weavers a medal.The night before the procession, the two men had their lights burning all night long. They wanted everyone to see how hard they were workingon the Emperor's new clothes.At last they cried, "Finished! The Emperor's new clothes are now ready!"Then the Emperor arrived with his hgh officials."Now if you take off your clothes, Your Majesty, we will fit the new clothes on you in front of the mirror," said the cheats.The Emperor was then undressed, and the cheats pretened to dress him in his new clothes. The Emperor turned from side to side in front of the mirrior."How splendid the Emperor looks in his new clothes!" everyone cried. "And how well they fit! What a splendid design! And what colors!""Well, I suppose I'm ready for the procession," said the Emperor. "Don't you think they are a nice fit?" And he turned again in front of the mirror, in order to make the others think he was looking at his new clothes."Yes, perfectly wonderful!" cried his officials.And so the procession began.The Emperor walked in the middle of the procession, through the streets of the city. And all the people standing by and those at the windows cried out, "On, how splendid our Emperor's new clothes are! What a perfect fit!"No one dared say that he could not see the Emperor's new clothes.Suddenly a little child's voice was heard:" But he has nothing on!""Good heavens! Listen to that silly child!" said the father."Did you hear what the child said?" some people nearby asked each other.What the child had said was whispered from one to the other."I can't see anything at all on the Emperor," cried one or two of the braver ones.The cry was taken up and soon everyone was noddng and saying," BUT HE HAS NOTHING ON!"The Emperor heard the cries. He felt very silly, for he knew that the people were right. But he thought, "The procession has atarted, and it must go on!"So the Emperor held his head higher than ever. And the two officials who were following him took great trouble to hold up higher the train of the robe that wasn't there at all.LESSON 9 LADY SILKWORM蚕花娘子Long long ago, there lived in Hangzhou a girl called Aqiao. When Aqiao was nine years old, her mother died. Her father remarried and the stepmother was cruel to Aqiao and her brother.One winter morning, the stepmother told Aqiao to go out and cut some grass for the sheep. The poor girl, with a basket on her back, searched all day from the riverside to the foot of the mountain. But where could she find any green grass in winter? She was tired, cold and hungry, but she was afraid to go home and face her stepmother.As she walked along, she noticed an old pine tree ahead at the entrance to a valley. Aqiao pushed the branches aside. She saw a brook with red flowers and green grass on both sides. She bent down immediately to cut the grass. She went on cutting and cutting until she came to the end of the brook. She stood up to wipe the sweat off her face. Suddenly she saw a lady all in white standing in front of her. The lady was smiling."Little girl, how nice to see you! Won't you come and stay with us for a while?"Aqiao looked around. To her surprise, she found herself in a different world. There were rows of white houses with trees in front of them. The leaves on the trees were green and large. And there were many other ladies in white, who were singing and picking the leaves from the trees.Aqiao liked what she saw and decided to stay.After that she worked together with the ladies in white. They picked leaves from the trees, and fed them to some little white worms. Slowly, the little worms would grow up and spit out silk to form cocoons. The lady in white told Aqiao how to reel the shining silk from these cocoons and how to dye the silk different colors.Time passed quickly and three months went by before Aqiao knew it.One day, Aqiao thought of her brother:"Why not ask my brother to cme here too?"Early next morning, without telling the lady in white, she hurried back home. When left, Aqiao took some silkworm eggs and a bag of mulberry seeds with her. As she walked, she dropped the seeds along the road so that she would know the way back.When Aqiao reached home, she found that her father had grown old and her brother had become a young man. The cruel stepmother had died.It had been fifteen years since she left!"Aqiao! Why didn't you come home all these years? Where have you been?"Aqiao told her father all that had happened. Her father thought that she must have met a fairy.The next day Aqiao decided to go back to the valley with her brother. But when she opened the door, she found things had changed. The road was lined with mulberry trees. All the seeds she had dropped had grown into trees. She walked along the trail of mulberry trees until she came to the valley. The old pine tree still stood there like an umbrella covering the entrance, but she could no longer find a way to get into the valley. So all she could do was to go back home.It was said that that was how the Chinese first raised silkworms. The lady in white whom Aqiao met in the valley was Lady Silkworm, the fairy in charge of the harvesting of silk.LESSON 10 THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA中国的万里长城The Great Wall of China, the longest wall in the world, runs across north China like a huge dragon. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys, till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world. And it was one of the few man-made objects on earth that could be seen by the astronauts who landed on the moon.The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period (770 B.C.- 476 B.C.). During the Warring States Period (475 B.C. - 221 B.C.), more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms.In 221 B.C., the kingdom of Qin united the different parts of China into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. Thus the Great Wall came into being. Since then, it has often been added to, rebuilt and repaired, especially during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).The Great Wall, which is called in Chinese "The Ten-thousand-li Great Wall", is actually more than 6,000 kilometres long, 6-7 metres high and 4-5 metres wide. In most places it is wide enough for five horses or ten men to walk side by side along the top. It has great gateways which connect the main roads of north China.Every few hundred meters along the Wall there are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch. When the enemy came, fires were lit and at the same time guns were fired to warn soldiers at other towers. One column of smoke with one gunshot meant an enemy troop of about 100, two columns with two shots meant 500. In this way, a warning message could be sent 500 kilometres within a few houra.It was very difficult to build and rebuild such a great wall over wild and distant country without any modern machines. All the work had to be done by hand. Many people were forced to work on the wall far away from their homes. They lifted earth in baskets, assed bricks from hand to hand and dragged heavy stones with ropes over their shoulders. Their living conditions were terrible. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.After the Great Wall were rebuilt hundreds of years ago, no more work was done on it until the People's Republic of China was founded. After that, parts of the Wall were repaired. On both sides of it new cities appeared, trees were planted, and desrets became grasslands. The old Great Wall took on a new look.Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese people, but also to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying:" He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."LESSON 11 AT A TAILOR'S SHOP在服装店（选自《百万英镑》）I was wandering through the streets when I caught sight of a tailor's shop. I wanted very much to get a new suit and throw off my old clothes. But... I had nothing in the world but a million-pound note. However, I could not resist the temptation. I went in and asked if they had a cheap suit. The fellow I spoke to made no answer at first, looked me up and down, noticed that I was almost in rags, then said, "Just a minute."I waited till he had finished his work. Then he took me into a back room, where the rejected suits were kept. He looked through the suits and selected the cheapest one for me. I put it on. It didn't fit, but it was new and I was anxious to have it, so I said shyly:。

1984年版高中英语课本第一二三册1984年版高中英语教材第1卷第1课马克思怎样学外语马克思怎样学外语卡尔·马克思出生于德国。
德语是他的母语。
当他还是个年轻人的时候，出于政治原因，他被迫离开了祖国。
他在比利时呆了几年；然后他去了法国。
不久，他不得不重新开始。
1849年，他去了英国，并把伦敦作为他革命工作的基地。
Marx在学校学过一些法语和英语。
当他到达英国时，他发现他的英语太有限了。
他开始努力改进它。
他进步如此之快，以至于不久他就开始为一家美国报纸写英文文章。
事实上，其中一篇文章中他的英语非常好，恩格斯为此给他写了一封信并表扬了他。
马克思回信说，恩格斯的赞扬极大地鼓舞了他。
然而，他继续解释说，他对两件事不太确定——语法和一些习语。
这些信写于1853年。
在随后的几年里，马克思继续学习和使用英语。
当他写他的一部伟大作品《法国内战》时，他已经很好地掌握了这门语言，所以他能够用英语写这本书。
十九世纪七十年代，马克思已经五十多岁了，他发现研究俄罗斯的形势很重要，所以他开始学习俄语。
六个月结束时，他已经学会了阅读俄语文章和报告。
在他的一本书里，马克思就如何学习外语提出了一些建议。
他说当人们学习一门外语时，他们不应该把所有的东西都翻译成他们自己的语言。
如果他们这样做，这表明他们还没有掌握它。
当他们使用外语时，他们应该试着忘掉自己的语言。
如果他们不能做到这一点，何说，他希望两国将进一步加强科技领域的合作。
在家购物吗？不离开家就从图书馆借书？这些想法对你来说可能很奇怪。
但是科学家们正在努力把它们变成现实。
让我们假设我们能在本世纪末参观一个家。
我们将去拜访一个名叫查理·格林的男孩。
他今天早上感觉不舒服。
他的母亲格林夫人想让医生给他看病。
也就是说，她想让医生听他的。
她带了一套电线到查理的房间。
这些电线被称为传感器。
她把一个传感器放在他的嘴里，一个放在他的胸口。
她把另一个放在他的手腕上，一个放在他的额头上。
然后她将传感器插入墙上的插座。
她说代码\灯在墙上闪烁。
格林的无线电话已准备好接听电话。
Mrs格林说\l医生的声音来了:\\是早晨。
我已经把传感器放在他身上了。
我想知道你现在能否给他检查一下。
\ \很好。
现在，深呼吸，查理。
\查理做到了。
\放轻松。
\\t墙上的开关关闭。
电话和考试结束了。
\我购物吗？你可以挑选出你的新自行车。
毕竟，离你的生日只有两周了。
查理和他的母亲坐在一部可视电话前。
他们家有几个人。
\可视电话。
\查理回答说，\在接下来的几分钟里，屏幕上闪现出许多型号自行车的图片。
每个型号的价格也会显示出来。
然后声音问你，\\\谢谢。
变矩器离合器。
这将是我们未来的家。
1999年从前，在印度的一个村庄里住着六个盲人。
每天他们都去附近的路上，站在那里乞讨。
他们经常听说过大象，但是他们从来没有见过大象，因为他们是盲人，他们怎么能看见呢？一天早上，一只大象被带到他们站的路上。
当他们听说有一头大象经过时，他们要求赶象人停下来，这样他们就可以有一只大象了。
当然，他们不能用眼睛看它，但是他们认为他们可以通过触摸和感觉它来了解它是什么动物。
因为，你看，他们非常相信自己的触觉。
第一个盲人碰巧把手放在大象的侧面。
第二个抓住了大象的一根象牙，并摸了摸。
\ken，还有什么？第三个人碰巧抓住了大象的鼻子。
错了，第四个张开双臂，抱住了大象的一条腿。
\我喜欢树。
第五个是一个非常高的人，他抓住了大象的一只耳朵。
\最盲目的人必须看到这头大象不像你所说的任何东西。
第六个人上前摸大象。
他又老又慢，花了很长时间才找到大象。
最后他抓住了野兽的尾巴。
\墙，或矛，或蛇，或树；他也不像粉丝。
任何一个脑袋里有眼睛的人都能看出他就像一根绳子。
然后司机和大象继续往前走，六个人整天坐在路边，为大象争吵。
他们彼此不同意，因为每个人都相信自己知道这头野兽长什么样。
不仅盲人会犯如此严重的错误。
大约2300年前，希腊有一位伟大的思想家，名叫亚里士多德。
他观察到羽毛慢慢落到地上，而石头下落得更快。
他仔细考虑了一下，得出结论说重的物体总是比轻的物体下落得快。
他的结论听起来确实很合理。
但是我们现在知道这不是真的。
在那些日子里，人们很少做实验来测试他们的想法。
当他们观察到发生的任何事情时，他们会思考一下，然后得出结论。
一旦亚里士多德下定决心，重的物体总是比轻的物体下落得快，他就把它作为真理教给他的学生。
因为他是亚里士多德，伟大的思想家，没有人质疑他的想法几乎是高中英语课本2-01教师肖像教师肖像前天晚上，就在晚饭前，当我父亲正在看晚报时，他突然发出一声惊讶的叫喊。
后来他解释道:“至少二十年前。
但是你能相信我的第一位老师克罗塞特先生还活着吗？他今年84岁，昨天教育部授予他一枚奖章，表彰他完成了60年的教学工作。
六十年了！你能想象吗？他两年前才放弃教书。
他住在德勒维尔，离这里只有一个小时的车程。
亨利，明天是星期六。
让我们开车去那里和他打个招呼。
第二天下午，我和父亲开车去德勒维尔见克罗塞特先生。
镇上的每个人都认识他，所以我们毫不费力就找到了他的房子。
当他来到门口时，我父亲立刻认出了他，当然，他现在已经是一个非常老的人了。
\克罗塞特先生好奇地看着我们。
我父亲告诉他他的名字——艾伯特·波顿，他学习的那年，还有学校的名字。
老人低下头，开始低声念我父亲的名字。
突然他抬起头来。
\ \跟踪！威尔玛取得了多么了不起的胜利！对威尔玛的母亲来说，这是多么美妙的胜利啊！睡袋里的蛇已经是早上了。
我吃完早餐，然后等着其他队员。
这将是丛林中又一个炎热的日子。
酷热耗尽了我们的体力。
但是我们有工作要做。
我是总工程师。
让我们四个人搬家是我的责任。
瓦格斯和我们的印度导游加入了我。
但是艾尔还没起床。
我去叫醒他。
在去他睡袋的路上。
我喊了一声，几乎走到他跟前，我看到了他的眼睛。
它们敞开着，疯狂地滚动着。
他的脸像灰烬一样苍白。
我停下了。
艾尔的眼睛警告过我。
然后他的嘴唇动了动。
我爬起来，听到了他的低语。
我的眼睛顺着阿尔的视线，一直看到他肚子上的肿块。
我的血液冻结了。
一条蛇在艾尔的睡袋里。
我的另一个声音和蛇可能会罢工。
我慢慢后退。
然后我转身蹑手蹑脚地走向印第安人和巴尔加斯，小声告诉他们我所看到的一切。
我们互相盯着对方，不敢大声说话。
\总是有蛇藏在那里的机会。
\安全在山顶上。
我们错得多离谱！我们三个蹑手蹑脚地走向艾尔。
我们默默地盯着蛇在袋子里造成的肿块。
从它的形状来看，它可能是一条丛林巨蛇——最致命的蛇！巴尔加斯伸手去拿枪。
但是艾尔的眼睛从左向右转动。
这意味着知道原因。
我们怎么知道蛇的头在哪里？如果巴尔加斯的射门没有击中头部，蛇就会攻击阿尔。
我们不敢试一试。
突然，印度人说话了，“蛇动了！我们屏住呼吸。
慢慢地，陷阱又自己解决了。
我们很快就搬走了。
然后印第安人向我们展示了他的意思。
他表现得好像在抽烟。
然后，他双手捧起。
他气喘吁吁地进出。
在地上，他画了一个睡袋。
他拿出刀子，假装切进了袋子。
瓦格斯和我有了主意。
在艾尔的睡袋上挖个洞。
把蛇熏出来！是的，可能有用。
巴尔加斯和我点点头。
印第安人开始撕扯潮湿的草地。
他把它堆在我们的早餐火旁边。
巴尔加斯清空了他的工具袋，把袋子留给了印第安人。
然后巴尔加斯又爬回到阿尔身边。
我研究了阿尔脚周围的睡袋部分。
然后我的刀悄悄地但很快地切入袋子，打出一个橘子大小的洞。
巴尔加斯挥了挥手，印第安人给我带来了装满烟的工具袋。
当蛇移动时，我们正准备冲走。
如果它突然出现并感觉到我们在附近，它可能会袭击艾尔。
我把烟袋放到睡袋的洞里。
很快，烟雾缭绕在艾尔的脸上。
他热泪盈眶。
突然，蛇扭动了一下。
烟雾在起作用！我们飞奔而去。
但是现在烟雾消失了。
那条蛇又回到了艾尔的肚子上。
我们现在该怎么办？太阳现在高高地挂在天空。
艾尔的脸被汗水湿透了。
我知道那个199睡袋有多热。
我看着睡袋上面的雨盖。
至少它给了艾尔阴影。
“突然，我想起了艾尔告诉我的一些事。
你是冷血动物，”他说。
\丛林阳光会杀死他们。
我知道我们必须做什么。
我兴奋地为其他人表演了出来。
取下遮雨罩，让阳光加热睡袋。
那会把蛇赶走。
艾尔用眼睛说话，“我们把雨罩拿走了。
阳光照射在艾尔和包上。
他看上去半死不活，双眼紧闭。
酷热如火。
艾尔能坚持住吗？\印第安人和巴尔加斯也在祈祷。
蛇做了一个小动作。
太阳在工作！我们迅速滑入灌木丛，然后观看。
那条蛇扭曲、隆起，然后变平。
然后它慢慢向睡袋的开口端移动。
一个沉重邪恶的头出现了，就在艾尔的脸旁边。
这条蛇是一个丛林主人——一个致命的丛林主人！头转来转去。
然后丑陋的棕色身体从睡袋的颈部涌出。
它滑过艾尔的脸，向附近的灌木丛移动。
巴尔加斯拔出了枪。
喀嚓！在安妮·沙利文来到我们家之前，我的老师(来自海伦·凯勒的《我的生活》)。
一两个人告诉我母亲，我是个白痴。
我能理解为什么。
这是一个7岁的女孩，她在19个月大的时候变得又聋又瞎。
因为我是聋子，我不能学会说话。
在寂静和黑暗的世界中挣扎，我看起来确实像个白痴。
但这是在安妮·沙利文来之前。
她是一个充满耐心和想象力的活泼的年轻女人。
作为一名天生的教师，她梦想把一个聋哑人变成一个有用的人。
对这位年轻的老师来说，我一定是个多么大的挑战！我记得她曾多次试图把单词拼写到我的小手里。
但是文字和字母对我来说都没有任何意义。
我认为她的手指移动是一种游戏。
但最终，在1887年4月5日，她达到了我的理解。
她到达后大约一个月，她教了我一个单词\它发生在安妮抽水时我拿着一个罐子的井边。
当水溅到我手上时，她不停地用手指在我的另一只手上拼写w-a-t-e-r。
我突然明白了！这是我多年来第一次感受到快乐。
我向安妮伸出手。
她明白我在乞求新单词，乞求我触摸过的东西的名字。
这些充满意义的话从她手里传到了我手里。
第一句话就是要改变我的世界。
安妮做的第一件事就是教我玩。
自从我聋了以后，我就没有笑过。
一天，她愉快地笑着走进我的房间。
她把我的手放在她的脸上，拼写“l-a-u-g-h”。
然后她逗得我哈哈大笑。
接着，安妮牵着我的手，教我如何跳跃。
然后她立即为我拼写了h-o-p和s-k-i-p。
几天后，我像任何一个孩子一样，开始学习——并享受其中。
安妮把一些鸽子关在笼子里，这样当它们被放出时，我可以感受到它们翅膀上的空气。
通过这种方式，我发现了鸟儿是如何飞翔的。
鸽子会落在我的头和肩膀上。
我学会了喂养它们并理解它们的方式。
这就是为什么鸟，尽管我可能1999看不到它们，却像花和石头一样一直是我世界的一部分。
老师不会让我周围的世界保持沉默。
通过我的手和手指，我接触到了一切可以接触到或感觉到的东西——阳光、丝绸的沙沙声、昆虫的声音、门的吱嘎声、爱人的声音。
安妮对待我就像对待一个能看能听的孩子一样。
一旦我有了足够的词汇来区分对与错，每当我做错事的时候，我就会被放在床上。
即使在我很坏的时候，被当作一个正常的孩子来对待也是多么美好啊！当我回顾那些岁月时，我被安妮的智慧所打动。
