1 The old seaman SquireSquire Trelawney, Dr Livesey, and the others have asked me to write down all I know about Treasure Island .My name is Jim Hawkins, and I was in the story right from the start, back in 17-.I was only a boy then, and it all began at the time my father owned the Admiral Benbow inn, at Black Hill Cove .I remember so clearly the day when the old seaman came to stay-I can almost see him in front of me as I write.He arrived with his sea-chest, a tall, strong man with a cut across one cheek. He sang that old sea sang as he walked up to the inn door:Fifeen men on the dead man's chest-Yo-ho-ho,and a bottle of rum!The old seaman called for a glass of rum,and stood outside,drinking and looking around. Our inn was on me cliffs above Black Hill Cove, and was a wild ,lonely place. But第 1 页共70 页the seaman seemed to like it.‘Do many people come here?’ h e asked.‘No,’my father told him.‘Then it's the place for me,’said the seaman.‘I'll stay here for a bit. You can call meCaptain.’He threw down three or four gold coins.‘Tell me when I've spent all that.’He was a silent man. All day he walked around the cove, or up on the cliffs ;all evening he sat in a corner of the room, and drank rum and water .He only spoke to our other customers when he was drunk. Then he told them terrible stories of his wild and criminal life at sea. Our customers were mostly quiet ,farming people; the captain frightened them and they soon learned to leave him alone.Every day, he asked if any seamen had gone along the road. At first we thought he wanted friends of his own kind, but then we began to understand that there was a different reason .He told me to watch for a seaman with one leg and to let him know the moment when a man like that appeared. He promised to give me a silver coin every month for doing this .I dreamed about this one-legged seaman for many nights afterwards.The captain stayed week after week, month after month. His gold coins were soon used up, but my father was a sick man and afraid to ask for more.Dr Livesey came late one afternoon. After he had seen my father ,he had dinner with my mother, then stayed to smoke his pipe .I noticed the difference between the doctor with his white hair and pleasant way of speaking, and that dirty, heavy, red-faced seaman, drunk with rum.The captain began to sing his song:Fifteen men on the dead man's chest-Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!Drink and the devil had killed off the rest-Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of, rum!Dr Livesey did not like the song.He looked up angrily before he went on talking to old Taylor, the gardener. Others in the room took no notice of the song. The captain beat the table with his hand for silence. The voices in the room died away, all except Dr Livesey's.The doctor continued to speak.The captain swore softly, then said,‘ Silence!’‘Are you speaking to me ,sir?’asked the doctor.第 2 页共70 页‘Yes,’the captain told him, swearing again.‘I have only one thing to say to you, sir,’ replied the doctor.‘If you keep on drinking rum ,the world will soon be free of a dirty scoundrel!’The captain jumped to his feet with a knife in his hand ,but the doctor never moved .He spoke to the captain in a calm and clear voice so that others in the room could hear:‘If you don't put that knife away, I promise you shall die a criminal's death under the law.’Then followed a battle of looks between them, but the cap-tain soon put away his weapon and sat down like a beaten dog. Soon after Dr Livesey rode away on his horse. The captain was silent for the rest of the evening, and for many evenings after-wards.1 老海员乡绅屈利劳尼、李甫西大夫和其他几位绅士让我把金银岛的故事从头至尾写下来。

高三英语二轮复习学案-名著阅读之心灵鸡汤精选:The Flying Fish

高三英语培优·名著阅读之心灵鸡汤精选The Flying Fish(答案在最后)班级:____________学号:____________姓名:____________【文章梗概】有一年夏天,迈克一家去俄勒冈州的湖边度假。

他们在大熔岩湖租了一间小屋和一艘小型汽艇,准备开始为期一周的钓鱼活动。

一开始,他们一条鱼也没有钓到,因为他们选错了钓鱼的地方。

就在他们垂钓的时候,一架引擎发生故障的飞机坠毁在湖面上,飞行员被困在飞机的机翼上。

爸爸带领一家人沉着冷静地救了飞行员。

Your big opportunity might be right where you are now.—Napoleon Hill One summer my family and I went on a vacation to Sunriver, Oregon. We rented a cabin and a small powerboat at Big Lava Lake and were ready for a week of serious fishing. Our first morning, we packed a big picnic lunch, fishing poles and Mom’s camera. She loves to take a picture of the proud person with his or her catch, a rare thing in our family of unlucky anglers. We went down to the lake with high hopes of catching “the big one.” Little did we know just how big our catch that day would be.It was a really bright, sunny morning. The sky was pale blue and full of big, fluffy white clouds. The blue-green lake sat in the middle of the surrounding mountains like a spoonful of gravy in the middle of your mashed potatoes. The entire area, including the lake shore, was covered with huge, dark green pine trees, which filled the air with their beautiful smell. You could see their giant reflections on the quiet surface of the lake.We motored as far away from the other boats on the lake as possible. After anchoring the boat, we set up our fishing lines in five different directions. Then we opened up our picnic lunch, passed out sandwiches and started to relax.“There’s nothing like a peaceful day on the lake,” Dad said, enjoying his peanut butter and jelly sandwich. “Your Uncle Pat would say, ‘The family that fishes together, stays together.’ What a beautiful day.”After a while, we realized that the reason our end of the lake was so uncrowded was because our end had no fish.“Hey, how come we always seem to pick the side of the lake where we’re never gonna catch anything?” my brother Ethan asked.“Just be patient. You guys will catch something. You always do,” Mom said, trying to encourage us.“Something big enough for a family of five would be nice,” grinned my brother Colin. “I think I’ll just relax while I wait for those big fish down there, just lining up for my bait . . .”The loud buzz of a small plane overhead interrupted him. Above the engine noise, Mom cried out, “Look, everybody. This will be so exciting. It’s a pontoon plane that’s about to land on the water!”“No, it’s not, Trish. That pilot’s in trouble!” Dad shouted.Dad was right. The plane that Mom thought was able to float on the water was actually a plane that needed to make an emergency landing, and the pilot had chosen our lake to land on! Within seconds, the plane crashed on its belly, as though it were doing a giant cannonball. SplashHuge waves filled the lake. The nose of the plane was pointing downward—the plane was sinking fast!Dad, who knew right from the beginning that the pilot was in trouble, immediately tried to start the motor of our boat. The boat jerked forward, throwing our bits of sandwiches on the deck and tangling up all of our fishing lines. Food and fishhooks were flying everywhere! We were hurrying and scurrying as our parents called out commands and our family charged into action. At first, it was like a comedy movie. But my parents were great. They kept their cool. “Everybody stay calm! Don’t stand up! Pull in your lines! You guys sit down! Grab the extra life jacket! Let’s go! Let’s hustle! This is an emergency!”Dad gave the engine full throttle, and its ten horsepower puttered as fast as it could. We only had to go a few hundred feet, but it seemed to take forever. We could see the pilot—a gray-haired man wearing a checkered shirt, blue jeans and cowboy boots. He had climbed onto the plane’s wing while the nose was sinking and the tail was pointing straight up. He was standing on the wing, holding an old brown suitcase, waiting for us to come to his rescue. He seemed so calm, just standing there, like he was waiting outside at a bus stop.When we finally reached the pilot, Mom grabbed a life jacket and threw it out onto the water for him. By that time, the plane had sunk. The pilot was clinging for dear life to his suitcase, which he seemed to be using as a life preserver. He seemed to have difficulty swimming and couldn’t get to the life jacket that was only five feet away from him. After several tries, Mom and Dad hoisted the pilot by the belt loops of his jeans onto our boat. He was safely on board.“Oh my gosh. . . . Thank you, thank you!” The pilot’s face was frozen with fear. “My goodness, thank you. . . . My name’s Wave, Wave Young. . . . I’ve been flying for over forty years . . . ” he stammered. He seemed out of breath and really shaken up.“Hi, I’m Mike; this is my wife, Trish; our children, Megan, Ethan and Colin,” Dad said, trying to put the pilot at ease.“I knew I had engine trouble and knew I was coming down, so I tried to land on the lake. A couple years back, another pilot landed in those beautiful pines and started a big forest fire. I didn’t want to do the same!” Wave’s voice was shaking.“Did you say your name is Wave? I can see why. . . . ”“Colin!” I whispered under my breath. We all laughed a little nervously, even Wave.“Well, thank God you people were here. I don’t know what I’d have done without you. I was in such shock I couldn’t even swim! Thank God you were here to rescue me.”Once he was comfortably seated on the boat, we rushed the pilot ashore to let the waiting paramedics and other emergency crews take care of him. Even though we still had rental time left on the boat, we turned it in early because, as Dad said, “I think we’re done fishing for the day.” We said our good-byes, and as a crowd formed, we decided to sneak out of the way, get into our car and head back for the day.“I’m really proud of you kids. You were terrific. You handled that emergency really well,” Dad told us, his face beaming with pride.“What do you think you guys learned from all this today?” Mom asked as she turned back toward us in the car.“We were on the wrong side of the lake again for fishing, but this time it turned out good,” Ethan answered shyly.“We learned how important it is to be ready for emergencies,” Colin added.“And you never know when God will use you to help someone,” I said to my family. “We were there for a reason. We were the only people on that side of the lake. The pilot was so scared that he couldn’t swim. If we had gone to the other side of the lake, we couldn’t have reached him in time to save him.”That night we saw video coverage of Wave’s plane crash on the evening news. Amazingly, Mom had also snapped an awesome picture of Wave standing on the wing of his plane, right before we reached him. She gave the photo to the local paper, which printed it the next morning on the front page.We still need to frame that photo of “the big one.” We could hang it somewhere in our home to keep our memory of that day alive. And maybe we wouldn’t have a picture of a fish, but we would have a picture of a pilot we fished out—and that would sure be the biggest “flying fish” anyone had ever seen!【词汇过关】请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。

Little Women 小妇人1 Four sisters'Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents,'said Jo crossly(发怒地).'It's so awful to be poor!'agreed Meg,looking at her old dress.'It's not right for some girls to have pretty things,and others to have nothing at all,'said little Amy.'We've got Father and Mother,'and each other,'said Beth gently.The four young faces round the fire cheered up as they thought of this,but then Jo said sadly,'We haven't got Father,and we won't have him for a long time.'She didn't say 'perhaps never,'but each silently thought it,remembering that he was away at the war in the South.Then Meg said,'Mother says we shouldn't spend money on presents when our men are fighting a war.''We can't expect anything from Mother or each otehr,'said Jo,' but we only have a dollar each,and that won't help the army much.Let's each buy ourselves what we want,and have a little fun.We work hard to earn it.' 'I do,teaching those awful children,' said Meg.'What abut me?'said Jo.' I'm shut up all day working for a terrible old lady,who gives me different orders every five seconds!''I think washing cups and plates and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the world,'said Beth.'My hands get too tired to play my music.' 'I have to go to school with girls who laugh at my dresses and say cruel things because my father isn't rich,'said Amy.'I wish we had the money Father lost when we were little,Jo,'said Meg.'I wish I was a boy,' said Jo.'Then I could go and fight beside Father!'Meg was sixteen and very pretty,with large eyes and soft brown hair,and white hands.Fifteen-year-old Jo was very tall and thin.Her long,dark-red hair was usually pushed up out of the way.Beth was thirteen,a very shy girl who seemed to live in a happy world of her own.Amy was the youngest,but thought herself to be the most important.She had blue eyes,and yellow hair which curled on to her shoulders.At six o'clock,Beth put a pair of slippers(拖鞋)by the fire to warm and Meg lit the lamp.Amy got out of the comfortable chair without bing asked, and Jo forgot how tired she was and held the slippers closer to the fire.'These are old,she said.'Mother needs a new pair.''I'll get her some with my dollar,'said Beth.'No,I shall!'cried Amy.'I'm the oldest—'began Meg.'I'm the man of the family now. Father is away,and I shall buy tnem,'said Jo.'Let's each get her something and not get anything for ourselves,'said beth.'That's a kind idea!'said Jo.'What shall we get?'Everyone thought for a moment,then Meg said,'I'll give her a nice pair of gloves.''The best army slippers,said Jo.'Some handkerchiefs,'said Beth.'A little bottle of perfume(香水),'said Amy.'It won't cost much,so I'll have some money left to buy something for me.''We'll let Mother think we're getting things for ourselves,and then surprise her,'said Jo.Mrs March arrived home soon after.She took off her wet things and put on her warm slippers.Meg made the tea,Jo brought wood for the fire,Beth was quiet and busy,and Amy gave orders.I've got a letter from Father!'cried Mrs March.It was a letter to cheer them up,and the special message for the girls came at the end:Give them all my love and a kiss.I think of them every day.I know they will be loving children to you, and that when I come back,I will be prouder than ever of my little women.A tear dropped off the end of Jo's nose.Amy hid her face on her mother's shoulder .'I'm selfish,'she cried,'but I'll try to be better.''We all will!' cried Meg.'I think too much about the way I look,and hate to work,but I won't any more.''And I'll try to be a“little woman”,'said Jo,'and not be rough and wild.' Beth said nothing,but she began to work hard at a blue army glove she was making.So the four girls decided that they would all try very hard to be good.They would never be cross,or lazy,or selfish, and they would all help each other.They talked over their plan that evening,while they made sheets for Aunt March.Then at nine o'clock they stopped to sing a song.Beth played the old piano,and Meg and her mother led the singing.Jo always sang in the wrong place,but the girls never got too old to sing together.2 A Happy ChristmasJo was the first to wake up on Christmas morning,but soon they were all awake and they went downstairs.'Where's Mother?'asked Meg.'I don't know,'said old Hannah.She had lived with the family since Meg was born,and was more like a friend than a servant.'Some poor woman came to the door and your mother went off to see what was needed.''She'll be back soon,'said Meg.She looked at the presents for her mother which were in a basket under a chair,ready to bring out at the right time.'Where is Amy's bottle of perfume?'She went to put some pretty paper round it,I think,'said Jo.Suddenly,they heard the outside door close.'Here's Mother!Hide the basket,quick!' said Jo.But it was Amy.She came in quickly.'Where have you been,and what's that behind you?'asked Meg.'I ran to the shop and changed the little bottle of perfume for a big one,'said Amy.'I spent all my money to get it,and I'm not going to be selfish any more!' Meg smiled proudly and put her arms around her sister.Then there was another bang(巨响)from the outside door,and the basket was pushed back under the chair.The girls ran to the table,ready for their breakfast.'Happy Christmas,Mother!'they shouted.Happy Christmas,little daughters!'said Mrs March.Then the smile disappeared from her face.'Girls,listen.Not far away is a poor woman,Mrs Hummel,with a new baby.Her six children are in one bed,trying to keep warm,as they have no wood for a fire.There is nothing to eat and they are hungry and cold.Will you give them your breakfast as a Christmas present?For a minute no one spoke.Then Jo said,'Mother,I'm so glad you came back before we began to eat!'And the girls quickly began to put their breakfast in a basket.'I knew you would do it,'said Mrs March,smiling.She took the girls and Hannah to a cold ,miserable little room in an old building,where they found a sick mother,a crying baby,and a group of children with white,frightened faces.The children were on the bed under a blanket,trying to keep warm.The woman almost cried with happiness when she saw the girls.Hannah,who had brought wood,made a fire.Mrs March gave the mother tea and hot food,then she dressed the little baby gently.The girls put the children round the fire and fed them like hungry birds.It was a very happy meal,although the girls ate none of it.But no one was happier than those hungry young ladies who gave away their breakfast on Christmas morning.Mrs March was surprised and pleased when she saw her presents later.Therewas a lot of laughing and kissing and explaining.Then,for the rest of the day,the girls were busy.Jo liked to write plays,and the four of them were going to act one that evening.They had learned their words,and had worked hard to make strange and wonderful clothes for all the different characters in the play.On Christmas night,some other girls came to watch.At first,there was a lot of whispering and laughing from the four sisters behind the curtains.Then the curtains were opened and the play began.It was an exciting story about Hugo(acted by Jo wearing a black beard!),beautiful Zara and brave Roderigo.There were also two ghosts,a cruel king,and a tall castle made of paper and wool, which unfortunately fell down just as Roderigo and Zara were escaping from it.There were screams of laughter from everyone,but the actors picked themselves up and carried on through more dangers and mysteries until the happy ending was reached.All the visitors loved the play,and after the excitement and fun came a surprise for everyone.'would the young ladies like to stay for supper?'asked Hannah.And when the girls saw the supper table,they could not believe their eyes!There was ice-cream,cake,fruit,and French chocolate!And in the middle of the table were flowers for each of the four actors.'Where did it all come from?'asked Amy.'From Father Christmas,perhaps?'said Beth.'Mother did it,'said Meg.Aunt March sent it,'said Jo.'You're all wrong,'laughed Mrs March.'Old Mr Laurence sent it!''The Laurence boy's grandfather?'said Meg.'But we don't know him.''Hannah told his servant about your breakfast party,and that pleased him,'said Mrs March.'He knew my faher many years ago,and he sent me a note this afternoon,asking if he could send my cbildren a few small Christmas presents.' 'The idea came from that boy,I know it did!'said Jo.'I'm sure he wants to know us,but he's shy,and Meg won't let me speak to him when we pass him in the street.She says that it's not at all polite for young ladies to introduce themselves to strangers.'You mean the people who live in the big house next door,don't you?'said one of the other girls.'My mother knows old Mr Laurence.She says he keeps his grandson in the house when the boy isn't riding or walking with his tutor(家庭教师),and makes him study very hard.We invited the boy to our party but he didn't come.''That boy needs to have some fun,'said Jo.3 The Laurence boy'Look!'said Meg,excitedly,a day or two later.She waved a piece of paper at Jo.'An invitation to a New Year's party at Sallie Gardiner's house,and it's for both of us.Mother says we can go,but what shall we wear?''Our best cotton dresses,'said Jo,'because we haven't got anything else. Yours is as good as new,but mine has a burn and a hole in the back.'Then you must keep your back out of sight,'said Meg.'I'll have a new ribbon (缎带)for my hair,and my new slippers.And my gloves are all right.' 'Mine are stained(染污),so I'll have to go without.''You must wear gloves to a dance,Jo!” cried Meg.'Then we'll each wear one good one and carry a bad one,'said Jo.Meg looked worried.“All right,but you will behave nicely,won't you?Don't stare,or put your hands behind your back.”On New Year's Eve,the two younger sisters watched the two older girls get ready for the party.There was a lot of running up and down,and laughing and talking.Meg wanted some curls(卷曲)around her face,so Jo began to work on the papered(纸糊的)ends of Meg's hair with a pair of hot tongs(钳子).'Should they smoke like that?'asked Beth.'It's the wetness drying,'said Jo.'What a strange burning smell!'said Amy.'I'll take the papers off now,'said Jo,'and you'll see lots of little curls.She took the papers off, and,to her horror,the burnt hair came off with them!'Oh,oh!What have you done to my hair!'cried Meg.'I always get things wrong,'said Jo unhappily.'I'm so sorry.I suppose the tongs were too hot.'Don't worry,'Amy told Meg,who was crying.'Just tie your ribbon so that the ends come on to your forehead a little,and it will look quite fashionable.' At last,Meg and Jo were ready and went off to the Gardiners' house where Mrs Gardiner welcomed them kindly.Meg immediately began to enjoy herself with Sallie,but Jo wasn't interested in girlish talk and stood with her back carefully against wall,watching the dancing.Soon Meg was asked to dance,then Jo saw a big red-haired boy coming towards her and she quickly went through a door into a small room. Unfortunately,another shy person was already hiding there and she found herself looking at the'Laurence boy'.'Oh dear,I didn't know any one was here!'Jo said.The boy laughed.'Don't go.I came in here because I don't know any people,but I think I've seen you before,'he said,'You live near us,don't you?''Next door,said Jo.'We enjoyed your nice Christmas present.''My grandfather sent it,Miss March.''But you gave your grandfather the idea,didn't you,Mr Laurence?I'm not Mr Laurence,only Laurie,'he said.'And I'm not Miss March,only Jo,'she said.'Do you like parties?'Sometimes,'he answered.I've been abroad a lot recently,and I don't know how you do things here.''Abroad!'said Jo.'Oh,did you go to Paris?''We went there last winter.''Can you speak French?'she asked.He said something in French,and Jo listened carefully.'You asked,“Who is the young lady in the pretty slippers?”It's my sister,Meg,and you knew it was!Do you think she's pretty?''Yes,'he said.'She looks so fresh and quiet.'This pleased Jo very much,and soon the two of them were talking easily,like old friends.'I hear you're always studying hard,'said Jo.'Are you going to college soon?''Not for a year or two,'he said.'I'm sixteen next month,and I won't go before I'm seventeen.''I wish I was going to college,said Jo.'I hate even the idea of it!'said Laurie.Jo wanted to know why,but he looked so serious that instead of asking she said,'Why don't you go and dance?''I will if you'll come too,'he answered.'I can't because—' Jo stopped.'Because what?''You won't tell?''Never!''I' ve a bad habit of standing near a fire,and I burn my dresses,'said Jo.'I have to keep still so that no one will see the burn on this one.Laugh if you like.' But Laurie didn't laugh.'Never mind that,he said gently.'Please come.' Jo smiled.'All right,'she said.'Thank you.'When the music stopped,they sat down and began to talk,but Jo saw Meg waving at her.She went over and followed her sister into a side room.'I've turned my foot over and hurt my ankle,'said Meg.'I can't walk on it,and I don't know how I'm going to get home.''I'm not surprised you turned your foot over in those stupid high shoes,'said Jo.'You'll have to get a carriage or stay here all night.''A carriage will cost a lot,' said Meg,'and I can't stay here for the night because the house is full.I'll just rest until Hannah comes to fetch us,then do the best I can.''They're going in for supper now,'said Jo.'I'll stay with you.'No,run and bring me some coffee,' said Meg.Jo found the coffee,but immediately dropped some down the front of her dress.She was cleaning it off with Meg's glove when a friendly voice spoke to her.'Gan I help?'said Laurie.He had a cup of coffee in one hand and a plate with a cake on it in the other.'I was trying to get something for Meg,'said Jo.'And I was looking for someone to give this to,' he said.He fetched more coffee and a cake for Jo,then the three of them had a happy time talking together until Hannah arrived. Meg completely forgot about her foot and stood up quickly.She cried out with pain,and when Laurie saw that she could not walk,he immediately offered to take them home in his grandfather's carriage.'But you can't want to go home yet,'said Jo.'I always go early,'said Laurie.He sat with the driver,and the two girls sat with Hannah inside the carriage and talked excitedly about the party.'I had a wonderful time,did you?' said Jo.'Yes,until I hurt myself,'said Meg.'Salie's friend,Annie Moffat,has asked me to go and stay with her for a week in the spring,when Sallie does.' Jo told Meg her adventures,and then they were home.They thanked Laurie and went quietly into the house,hoping to wake no one.But as soon as they opened their bedroom door,two little voices cried out:'Tell us about the party!Tell us about the party!'4 The house next door'It's so nice to go to parties and drive home in carriages.'said Mea,the next morning.'Other people live like that all the time,and I wish we could.I wish we were rich.''Well,we're not,'said Jo.' So we must do our work with a smile,the way Mother does.'Mr March had lost most of his money helping a friend.When the two older girls discovered this,they wanted to do something to earn some money for the family,and as soon as they were old enough,they found work.Meg got a job teach ing four small children.It was hard for her to be poor because she could remember the time when their home had been beautiful,with every thing they wanted.And every day at Mrs King's house she saw pretty dresses,and heard talk of parties andthe theatre-all the things which Meg loved.Jo went to Aunt March,who needed someone to fetch and carry things,and read to her.She was a difficult old lady who complained a lot,but Jo did her best.Beth was much too shy to go to school with other children,so she studied at home with her father.When he went away,and her mother was busy with war work,Beth continued to study by herself and helped Hannah keep the home tidy for the others.She also spent long,quiet hours alone,talking to her dolls(玩偶)or playing the old piano.Beth loved music and,although the family could not afford music lessons or a good piano for her,she tried hard to make herself a better musician.Amy drew the most beautiful pictures and wanted to be a famous painter one day.She was a favoturite with everyone,except when she complained abut having to wear her cousin's old clothes because her mother could not afford to buy new ones for her.One afternoon a week or two later,Jo went outside to clear the snow away from some of the garden so that Beth could walk there when the sun came out.She looked across to the house next door-a big stone house with lovely things inside that.Jo occasionally(偶尔)saw through the open curtains at the windows.But it seemed a lonely,lifeless kind of house,as no children played outside,no motherly (慈母般的)face smiled at the windows,and not many people went in and out,except the old gentleman and his grandson.She had not seen the Laurence boy lately and wondered if he was away,but suddenly she saw him looking out of an upstairs window.She threw up a handful of soft show and called out,'Are you ill?'Laurie opened the window. I'm almost better,thank you,'he said.'I've had a bad cold.''What do you find to do?'said Jo.'Nothing,'he said.'They won't let me.''Why don't you get someone to come and see you?''I don't know anyone.''You know us,'said Jo.'So I do!'laughed Laurie.'Will you come,please?''I'll come if Mother will let me.I'll go and ask her.Shut the window and wait until I come.'Laurie was excited and began to get ready for Jo's visit.He brushed his hair and tried to make his room tidy.Soon after,he heard voices downstairs,then a surprised servant ran up to his room.There's a young lady to see you,sir,'she said.A moment later,Jo appeared with a box in one hand and Beth's three small cats in the other.'Mother sends her love,'she said.'Meg asked me to bring some of her cake,and Beth thought you would like to play with her cats.Isn't she funny?' Laurie laughed. “How kind you all are,'he said.'Shall I read to you?'sald Jo.'I'd rather talk,'he said.'I can talk all day,'said Jo, smiling.'Beth says I never know when to stop.' 'Is Beth the one who stays at home?''Yes,that's Beth.She's a good girl.''The pretty one is Meg,and the curly-haired one is Amy,is that right?' he said.'Yes.How did you know?'Laurie's face became red.'I hear you calling to each other,and you always seem to be having so much fun.Sometimes,in the evenings,you forget to close your curtains and I can see you sitting round the fire with your mother.I haven't got a mother.'Jo saw the sadness in his eyes.'Why don't you come over and see us?Would your grandfather let you?''Perhaps,if your mother asked him,'said Laurie.'He spends a lot of time among his books,and Mr Brooke,my tutor(家庭教师),doesn't live here.So I haven't anyone to go out with.Do you like your school?''I don't go to school.I go out to work-to my aunt's,'said Jo.She described the difficult old lady and made him laugh with her stories.She told him all about her sisters,the plays they acted,and their hopes and fears for their father. Then they talked about books,and Jo discovered that Laurie loved them as much as she did.'Come and see our library,'he said.'Grandfather is out,so you needn't be afraid.''I 'm not afraid of anything,' replied Jo.He took her down to a room where the walls were covered with books and pictures.'You should be the happiest boy in the world!'said Jo,sitting in a big armchair and looking round.'A person can't live on books,'he said.Suddenly,a bell rang.Jo jumped up out of the chair.It's your grand father!'she said.'What if it is?'said Laurie,with a smile.'You're not afraid of anything,remember?''Perhaps I am a little bit afraid of him,'said Jo.The servant came in at that moment.'The doctor is here to see you,sir,'she said to Laurie.'Can I leave you for a minute or two,Jo?'he said.'Yes,I'm very happy here,'said Jo.He went away and Jo was staring at a large picture of the old gentleman when the door opened again without turning,she said,'I won't be afraid of him,because he's got kind eyes,although his mouth looks hard and cold.He's not as handsome as my grandfather,but I like him.''Thank you,'said a deep voice behind her.She turned quickly-and saw old Mr Laurence!Jo's face turned a bright red and she wanted to run away.But the old man's eyes looked kinder than those in the picture and seemed to have a smile in them .'So you're not afraid of me,eh?'he said.'Not much,sir.''But I'm not as handsome as your grandfather?''Not quite,sir.''But you like me.'He laughed and shook hands with her.'Now,what have you been doing with my grandson?''Trying to cheer him up,sir,' said Jo.'He seems a bit lonely.''Then come and have some tea with us.'Laurie was very surprised to see Jo with his grandfather,but was soon talking and laughing happily with Jo.The old man watched the two young people and noticed the change in his grandson.'She's right,'he thought.The boy does need cheering up.'After tea,they went into a room where there was a large and beautiful piano.'Do you play?'Jo asked Laurie.'Sometimes,'he answered.'Play now.I want to hear it so I can tell Beth.'So Laurie played and Jo listened.Afterwards,Mr Laurence said,'He plays quite well,but I want him to do well in more important things.Now,I hope you'll come again.'He shook hands with her.'Goodnight,Jo.'Laurie walked to the door with her.'He doesn't like to hear me play,'he said.'why not?' said Jo.'I'll tell you one day,'he said.When Jo told the family of her afternoon's adventures,they all wanted to go and visit the big house.'Mother,why doesn't Mr Laurence like to hear Laurie play the piano?'askedJo.'Laurie's father married an Italian lady,a musician,' said Mrs March.'The old man didn't like her,and never saw his son after they were married.Laurie was born in Italy,but his parents died when he was a child,and his grandfather brought him home.Laurie loves music and I expect his grandfather is afraid he'll want to be a musician like his mother.'Laurie should be a musician if he wants to be,'said Jo.'Sending him to college will just make him unhappy.'5 A surprise for BethLaurie and the four girls were soon great friends.Mr Brooke complained to the old gentleman that his student was always running across to see the Marches.'Let him have a bit of a holiday,'said Mr Laurence.'He can catch up with his studies later.'What good times they had!Writing and acting plays,happy evenings at the Marches,and little parties at the big house. Only Beth was too shy to go there.When Mr Laurence heard about Beth's shyness, he came to have tea with their mother one day,and began to talk about music and great singers he had heard.Beth found it impossible to stay in her corner and came to listen.'Laurie hasn't much time for his music,'Mr Laurence told Mrs March,'so the piano is not used very often.Would any of your girls like to play it sometimes?They needn't see or speak to anyone,and I'll be in my study.'He got up to go.'But if they don't want to come…'At this moment,a little hand touched his own.It was Beth's.'I-I want to come,'she said,her voice shaking.'Very much.''You're the musical girl,'said Mr Laurence,gently.'I'm Beth.Yes,I love music,and I shall come.'The next day,Beth waited until the old and the young gentlemen both went out,then she ran across to the big house and found her way to the room with the beautiful piano.As soon as she began to play,she forgot her fears immediately in the delight which the music gave her.After that,Beth went every day.She never knew that Mr Laurence often opened his study door to hear her playing,or that Laurie stood in the hall to keep the servants away from the shy little girl.But she was so grateful that she asked her mother and sisters to help her make the old gentleman a pair of slippers.After several days careful sewing(缝纫),the slippers were finished.Then Beth wrote a short letter and,with Laurie's help,left it with the slippers in the old man's study one morning,before he was up.The next day,Beth went out for a walk,and when she came back the otherswere waiting for her.'Here's a letter for you,Beth!' they called out.'Come and read it!'She hurried to the house and they took her into the front room.'Look there!' everyone was saying at once.Beth looked-and got the biggest surprise of her life!For there stood a lovely little piano,with a letter on the top of it,addressed to :' Miss Elizabeth March'.'You-you read it,Jo,' whispered Beth.'I can't.'So Jo opened the letter and began to read.'Dear Miss March,'she read,'I have had many pairs of slippers but none which have pleased me so much as yours.I should like to thank pou for your kindness by sending you something that once belonged to my little granddaughter,who died.With many thanks.I am your good friend,James Laurence.' Jo put an arm around her sister.'Now try it,Beth,'she said.Beth sat down and began to play,and everyone thought it was the most perfect piano they had ever heard.'You'll have to go and thank him,'said Jo,with a smik,knowing that Beth was much too shy to do anything like that.But Beth surprised them all.'I'll do it at once,' she said bravely,and away she walked,through the garden and into the big house next door.She went up to the old gentleman's study and knocked on the door.'Come in,'said Mr Laurence.Beth went in.'I came to say thank you,sir,'she began, in her quiet little voice.But he looked so friendly that she ran and put both her arms around his neck and kissed him.The old gentleman was so surprised that he nearly fell off his chair.But he was very pleased indeed by that shy little kiss,and soon the two of them were talking like old friends.Later,he walked home with Beth.The girls,watching with great interest from the window,could not believe their eyes.'Well,'Meg said,' I do believe the world is coming to an end!'6 Amy in trouble'Where are you going?'Amy asked Meg and Jo one afternoon.'I want to come,too.''You can't,dear,you're not invited,said Meg.'You're going somewhere with Laurle,I know you are!''Yes,we are,'said Jo.'Now stop annoying(骚扰)us.''You're going to the theatre!'Amy said suddenly.'I want to go With you!' 'We could take her,I suppose,'began Meg.'No,Laurie only invited us,'said Jo.'I shall go,'shouted Amy.'Meg says I can.'。

ROMANCES are among the most popular kinds of stories. It isn’t difficult to see why, as finding a man or woman to spend the rest of one’s life with is something almost all people want. Stories about relationships can be tragedies (悲剧), like Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. They can also be comedies, like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (1813). This novel is certainly one of the funniest and most charming romances in world literature.But Pride and Prejudice also has a sad message. In the novel there is a clear sense of the unequal opportunities men and women enjoy in life.It is a story about the rich but snobbish (自命不凡的) Mr Darcy and the smart, but difficult and proud Elizabeth Bennet. Elizabeth is one of five daughters who live with their parents in respectable (尚可的) but rather poor conditions in Hertfordshire, near London. They belong to a class of people in England called the landed gentry. Members of the landed gentry can be rich, or they can be not so rich. The Bennets are not so rich. The money difficulties of the family drive the story of the novel.Many people know the famous opening sentence of the book: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” This is of course a very ironic (讽刺的) remark. What is really true in the time of the novel isthis: Single women from poorer families are very interested in a man with a good fortune, or even just a little money. Since they cannot pay their own way in life, they must find a husband. Because of this, Mrs Bennet is desperate to find husbands for her daughters. They will then no longer be a burden on her.In the end, Elizabeth and Darcy overcome the obstacles in their way to end up together. Elizabeth teaches Darcy to be less prejudiced (怀有偏见的), and she herself learns to be a little less proud. Jane, the oldest Bennet daughter, and her lover, Charles Bingley, also get engaged (订婚). Lydia finds herself a husband too – the good-for-nothing George Wickham. These marriages give Austen’s novel a happy ending.But if this humorous entertainment ends with marriages, as all romances do, we should also not forget those who do not find husbands, like the Bennet daughters Kitty and Mary. Nor should we forget Charlotte Lucas, who marries the horrible William Collins simply because she has to and wants to help her parents financially.Pride and Prejudice shows that for every lucky Jane and Elizabeth Bennet, who marryhappi ly in the novel, there were a dozen other women in Austen’s time who lived without their contentment (满意).1. What is the main purpose of this text?A. To analyze why romances are among the most popular kinds of stories.B. To inform the reader about the impact of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.C. To explain what makes Pride and Prejudice stand out in world literature.D. To tell us about what inspired Jane Austen to create Pride and Prejudice.2. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Elizabeth is proud before Mr Darcy because she has a better family background than him.B. Mr Darcy becomes less prejudiced when he has a better understanding of Elizabeth and her family.C. The novel has a happy ending because the Bennet daughters all marry happily as their mother wishes.D. The novel is about the struggles of a group of young women who bravely fight for equal rights with men.3. In Pride and Prejudice, young women are described as _____.A. proud and snobbishB. smart and charmingC. a burden on their parentsD. having prejudice against the rich2. Killing to liveSuzanne Collins (1962- ), USOther famous works: The Underland Chronicles《地底王国》系列Year of the Jungle 《丛林记事》(绘本)《饥饿游戏》:残酷游戏中少女勇敢面对生命和人性的抉择。

THE Hunger Games books (2008-2010) by US author Suzanne Collins are set in a North American future which is very similar to the real North American present in some ways. In this world, the US is no more. In the new nation, “Panem”, a Capitol rules over 12 other districts. Life in the districts is hungry and always a struggle, completely different to the wealth enjoyed by the people of the Capitol.The Capitol holds an annual (一年一度的) “Hunger Games”. The games are a combination of ancient Roman gladiatorial (角斗的) contests and modern reality TV shows. The players are young people from the districts. As in the ancient games, these modern gladiators fight battles to the death with each other. And as in our own reality TV shows, the whole “entertainment” is filmed live for a TV audience.Although the Hunger Games are entertainment for the Capitol, they are punishment for the districts for a rebellion (叛乱) that failed. But over the course of the books we see how that rebellion is inspired again by a heroic new player, who turns the tables on the tyrants (暴君) in power.She is a teenager called Katniss Everdeen, from District 12. She is a brave and intelligent person. She becomes a contestant in the 74th Hunger Games, as does Peeta Mellark, a boy from the same place who has a crush on Katniss.The first book follows these two as they fight their way through the early rounds, which involve young people having to fight each other to the death. Katniss and Peeta both do well, proving themselves to be better fighters than the others. A rule change in the competition then allows contestants to team up, and from then on Katniss and Peeta fight together. As they beat all comers, theybelieve that they have survived the challenge of the Hunger Games. But another rule change forces them to fight against each other. Katniss and Peeta manage to foil (挫败) this by planning a suicide pact (自杀协议), giving the authorities no choice but to allow them to live.But Katniss and Peeta prove to be more than a hit with TV viewers. They bring back the spirit of rebellion in the Districts. The other books in the series tell the tale of this revolution against the Capitol and the increasingly important roles the central characters of Katniss and Peeta play in it.The Hunger Games books get their power from speaking indirectly about our own world. They speak to young Americans because of a growing sense of inequality in US society and the fear among the young that their futures will be a struggle. But the stories may well be relevant for a wider audience.1.Which of the following is TRUE about the Hunger Games, according to thearticle?A. They are held every decade.B. They are held to punish the districts for their rebellion.C. They are entertainment for both the Capitol and other districts.D. Winners of the Hunger Games receive a lot of prizes for their efforts.2. What happens during the 74th Hunger Games?A. Katniss and Peeta team up and manage to get though the early rounds.B. When Katniss and Peeta defeat all the other contestants, the games are overforever.C. Katniss and Peeta’s claim that they will commit suicide together saves bothof them in the end.D. Katniss and Peeta fight against each other until the last rounds.3. According to the article, The Hunger Games books ______.A. are set in the US of the futureB. speak directly about our world todayC.show that young Americans are more rebellious than everD. may also appeal to audiences beyond North America3 Eyre takes chargeCharlotte Bronte(1816-1855), UKOther famous works: Shirley 《谢利》Villette 《维莱特》《简·爱》讲述女性勇敢追求平等自由的非凡历程。
