Wuthering Heights (excerpt)Ellen Dean's story—Catherine and Heathcliff as children1770. When I was a child,I was always at WutheringHeights,because my mother was a servant of the Earnshawfamily.They are a very old family who have lived in that house forcenturies,as you can see from their names on the stone over thefront door.I grew up with Catherine and Hindley Earnshaw,and wethree played together as children.One day,their father Mr. Earnshaw came back from a long journey.He had travelled sixty miles to Liverpool and back on business,and was very tired.“Look what I've brought you!” he told us all,unwrapping something he was holding carefully in his arms.Catherine and Hindley were expecting presents,and they rushed eagerly to see what it was.They were very disappointed to see only a dirty,blackhaired gipsy child.“I found him all alone in the busy streets of Liverpool,”Mr. Earnshaw explained to them,“and I couldn't leave him to die.He can sleep in your room.”But Hindley and Catherine were angry because they had not received any presents,and refused to let the strange child share their room.However Mr. Earnshaw insisted,and little by little the boy became accepted by the family.He was called Heathcliff,as a first and last name.No one ever discovered who his parents had been.Catherine and he became great friends,but Hindley hated him,and was often cruel to him.Old Mr. Earnshaw was strangely fond of this gipsy child,and frequently punished his son for behaving badly to Heathcliff.Hindley began to be jealous of his father's feelings for Heathcliff,and saw them both as enemies.This situation could not last.As Mr. Earnshaw grew old and ill,Heathcliff became even more his favourite,and Hindley often quarrelled with his father.WhenHindley was sent away to study,I hoped that we would have peace in the house.But then it was that old servant Joseph who caused trouble.He tried to persuade his master to be stricter with the children,and was always complaining that Heathcliff and Catherine did not spend enough time studying the Bible or attending church services.Catherine was a wild,wicked girl in thosedays.We had to watch her every moment ofthe day,to stop her playing her tricks on us.She was proud,and liked giving orders.Butshe had the prettiest face and the sweetestsmile you've ever seen.I could forgive heranything when she came to say she was sorry.She was much too fond of Heathcliff,and the worst punishment we could invent was to keep her separate from him.Her father could no longer understand her or her behaviour,and Catherine did not realize that his illness made him less patient with her.At last Mr. Earnshaw found peace.He died quietly in his chair by the fire one October evening in 1775.The night was wild and stormy,and we were all sitting together in the big kitchen.Joseph was reading his Bible at the table,while Catherine had her head on her father's knee.He was pleased to see her so gentle for once,and she was singing him to sleep.I was glad the old gentleman was sleeping so well.But when it was time to go to bed,Catherine put her arms round her father's neck to say goodnight,and immediately screamed,“Oh,he's dead,Heathcliff! He's dead!”Heathcliff and I started crying loudly and bitterly too.Joseph told me to fetch the doctor,so I ran to the village,although I knew it was too late.When I came back,I went to the children's room,to see if they needed me,and I listened for a moment at their door.They were imagining the dead man in a beautiful distant place,far from the troubles of this world.And as I listened,crying silently,I could not help wishing we were all there safe together.呼啸山庄(节选)艾伦·迪恩讲述的故事——凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫的童年1770年,我小时候一直在呼啸山庄,因为我母亲在欧肖家做佣人。

The Best Teacher I Ever HadMr.Whitson taught sixthgrade science.On the first day of our class,he gave us a lecture about an animal called the Cattywampus,an illadapted(不适应的)nocturnal(夜行的)animal that was wiped out①during the Ice Age,and he passed around a skull as he talked.We all took notes and later had a quiz.When he returned my paper,I was shocked.There was a big red“×”through each of my answers.I had failed.There must be some mistakes!I wrote down exactly what Mr.Whitson had said.Then I realized that everyone in the class had failed.What had happened?Mr.Whitson explained that he had made up②all the story about the Cattywampus.There had never been such an animal.The information in our notes was,therefore,incorrect.Did we expect credits③for incorrect answers?Needless to say④,we were outraged(使震怒).What kind of test was this?And what kind of teacher was he?Mr.Whitson said we should have figured it out⑤.After all,at the very moment he was passing around the Cattywampus' skull(in truth,a cat's),hadn't he been telling us that no trace⑥of the animal remained?[1]He had described its amazing night vision,the color of its fur and any other facts he couldn't have known.He had given the animal a ridiculous⑦name,and we still hadn't been suspicious(可疑的).He said the zeros on our papers would be recorded in his grade book.And they were.Mr.Whitson said he hoped we would learn something from thisexperience.Teachers and textbooks are not always right.In fact.no one is.He told us that we should not let our minds go to sleep,and should speak out if we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.[2]我最好的老师惠特森先生教六年级自然科学。

The Story of My LifeHelen KellerChapter 1It is with a kind of fear that I begin to write the history of mylife. I have, as it were, a superstitious hesitation in lifting the veilthat clings about my childhood like a golden mist. The task ofwriting an autobiography is a difficult one. When I try to classifymy earliest impressions, I find that fact and fancy look alike acrossthe years that link the past with the present. Thewoman paints thechild's experiences in her own fantasy. A few impressions stand out vividly from the first years of my life; but “the shadows of the prison-house are on the rest”. Besides, many of the joys and sorrows of childhood have lost their poignancy; and many incidents of vital importance in my early education have been forgotten in the excitement of great discoveries. In order, therefore, not to be tedious I shall try to present in a series of sketches,only the episodes that seem to me to be the most interesting and important.I was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, a little town of northern Alabama.I lived, up to the time of the illness that deprived me of my sight and hearing, in a tiny house consisting of a large square room and a small one, in which the servants slept. It is a custom in the South to build a small house near the homestead as an annex to be used on occasion. Such a house my father built after the Civil War, and when he married my mother they went to live in it. It was completely covered with vines, climbing roses and honeysuckles. From the garden it looked like an arbour. The little porch was hidden from view by a screen of yellow roses and Southern smilax.It was the favourite haunt of humming-birds and bees.The Keller homestead, where the family lived, was a few steps from our little rosebower. It was call ed “Ivy Green” because the house and the surrounding trees and fences were covered with beautiful English ivy. Its old-fashioned我一直住在一个狭小的房子里面,直到疾病使我丧失了视觉和听觉。

【导读】不要羡慕别人的成就,别人的成就都是通过每一天的努力取得的,想要自己成功就得付出辛劳。
失败了,不要抱怨,事情终会有好转,我们不可能永远微笑,因为我们会经历磨难,但是挺过去,便守得云开见月明。
HeightsBy LongfellowThe heights by great men reached and kept,Were not attained by sudden flight;But they,while their companions slept,Were toiling upward in the night.To be a giantThis has forever been our passion,this desire to be a giant.Not to stand on one's shoulders or have one for a friend.For these may be fortunate things.But to be one.Giants step over barriers that seem never ending.They conquer mountains that appear insurmountable.Giant rise above fear.Triumph over pain.Push themselves and inspire others.To be a Giant.To do Giant things.To take Giant steps.To move the world forward.Things work outBecause it rains when we wish it wouldn't,Because men do what they often shouldn't,Because crops fail,and plans go wrong—Some of us grumble all day long.But sometimes,in spite of the care and doubt,It seems at last that things work out.Because we lose where we hoped to gain,Because we suffer a little pain,Because we must work when we'd like to play—Some of us whimper along life's way.But somehow,as the day always follow the night,Most of our troubles work out all right.Because we cannot forever smile,Because we must trudge in the dust awhile,Some of us whimper that life's all wrong.But somehow,we live and our sky grows bright,And everything seems to work out all right.So bend to your trouble and meet your care,For the clouds must break,and the sky grows fair. Let the rain come down,as it must and will.But keep on working and hoping still.For in spite of the grumblers who stand about,Somehow,it seems,all things work out.高度作者:朗费罗伟人所至高度,并非一蹴而就;同伴半夜酣睡时,辛勤攀登仍不辍。

【导读】我们都知道不同的民族往往待人的礼节各不相同。
阅读下面选取的有关礼貌的节选,对比中英两国待人接物方面的异同。
English MannersBritish people are quite reserved when greeting oneanother.Greeting can be a “Hello”“Hi”or “Goodmorning”,when you arrive at work or at school.You may also be called many different affectionate names, according to which part of the Britain you are in.Do not be offended, this is quite normal.For example, you may be called dear, dearie, flower, love, chick, chuck, duckie, guv, son, ma'am, madam, miss, or sir, according to your sex and age.The standard greeting “How do you do”and the reply “How do you do”signal the end of the ritual.Foreigners who assume that “How do you do” comes with a built-in question mark and respond accordingly become socially isolated.The English do shake hands with each other, but as little as possible.With acquaintances once in a lifetime is often considered enough.The preferred English handshake is a brief, vigorous affair with no hint of lingering.Most Englishmen never hug or kiss other men. They leave that to football players and foreigners.Women may kiss on one or both cheeks; if they do, the kisser makes a kissing gesture with appropriate sound effects.Men may also kiss women in greeting, but only on the cheek.In public places, the English make great efforts not to touch strangers even by accident.If such an accident should occur, apologies are fulsome but should never be used as an excuse for further conversation.On crowded public transport where it is sometimes unavoidable, physical contact with a stranger is permitted, but in such circumstances, eye contact should be avoided at all costs.The English like to form orderly queues (standing in line) and wait patiently for their turn. “Queue jumping” is frowned upon.The queue is one of the few places where the English are allowed to talk to eachother without having been formally introduced. The others are when taking the dog for a walk.In Britain if you accidentally bump into someone, say “sorry”. They probably will too, even if it was your fault! This is a habit and can be seen as very amusing by an “outsider”.Women in Britain are entitled to equal respect and status with men in all areas of life and tend to have more independence and responsibility than in some other cultures.It is usual for women to go out and about on their own and to travel widely. It is OK for women to eat alone in a restaurant. It is ok for women to drink beer.When being entertained at someone's home it is nice to take a gift for the host and hostess. A bottle of wine, bunch of flowers or chocolates are all acceptable.英国人的礼貌英国人在相互打招呼的时候都很保守。

【导读】《魔法师的外甥》(The Magician's Nephew ),英国作家C.S.路易斯,于1950年代所著《纳尼亚传奇》系列奇幻儿童文学小说第一部。
About a week after this it was quite certain that Digory's Mother was getting better.About a fortnight later she was able to sit out in the garden.And a month later that whole house had become a different place.Aunt Letty did everything that Mother liked: windows were opened,frowsy curtains were drawn back to brighten up the rooms,there were new flowers everywhere,and nicer things to eat,and the old piano was tuned and Mother took up her singing again,and had such games with Digory and Polly that Aunt Letty would say “I declare,Mabel,you're the biggest baby of the three.”When things go wrong,you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time; but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.After about six weeks of this lovely life there came a long letter from Father in India,which had wonderful news in it.Old GreatUncle Kirke had died and this meant,apparently,that Father was now very rich.He was going to retire and come home from India forever and ever.And the great big house in the country,which Digory had heard of all his life and never seen would now be their home; the big house with the suits of armour,the stables,the kennels,the river,the park,the hot houses,the vineries,the woods,and the mountains behind it.So that Digory felt just as sure as you that they were all going to live happily ever after.But perhaps you would like to know just one or two things more.Polly and Digory were always great friends and she came nearly every holidays to stay with them at their beautiful house in the country; and that was where she learned to ride and swim and milk and bake and climb.In Narnia the Beasts lived in great peace and joy and neither the Witch nor any other enemy came to trouble that pleasant land for many hundred years.King Frank and Queen Helen and their children lived happily in Narnia and their second son became King of Archenland.The boys married nymphs and the girls married woodgods and river-gods.The lamp-post which the Witch had planted (withoutknowing it) shone day and night in the Narnian forest,so that the place where it grew came to be called Lantern Waste; and when,many years later,another child from our world got into Narnia,on a snowy night,she found the light still burning.And that adventure was,in a way,connected with the ones I have just been telling you.It was like this.The tree which sprang from the Apple that Digory planted in the back garden,lived and grew into a fine tree.Growing in the soil of our world,far out of the sound of Aslan's voice and far from the young air of Narnia,it did not bear apples that would revive a dying woman as Digory's Mother had been revived,though it did bear apples more beautiful than any others in England,and they were extremely good for you,though not fully magical.But inside itself,in the very sap of it,the tree (so to speak) never forgot that other tree in Narnia to which it belonged.Sometimes it would move mysteriously when there was no wind blowing: I think that when this happened there were high winds in Narnia and the English tree quivered because,at that moment,the Narnia tree was rocking and swaying in a strong southwestern gale.However,that might be,it was proved later that there was still magic in its wood.For when Digory was quite middleaged (and he was a famous learned man,a Professor,and a great traveller by that time) and the Ketterleys' old house belonged to him,there was a great storm all over the south of England which blew the tree down.He couldn't bear to have it simply chopped up for firewood,so he had part of the timber made into a wardrobe,which he put in his big house in the country.And though he himself did not discover the magic properties of that wardrobe,someone else did.That was the beginning of all the comings and goings between Narnia and our world,which you can read of in other books.大约一周以后,迪格雷的妈妈明显越来越好。
两周后,她便能坐在花园里了。
过了一个月,整幢房子都变了样。
凡是妈妈喜欢的事蕾蒂姨妈都做了:窗户打开了,脏窗帘拉开后房间里一片明亮,到处都有新采的鲜花和很好吃的东西。
旧钢琴调好音后,妈妈又开始了歌唱,而且和迪格雷以及波莉在一起玩耍,连蕾蒂姨妈都说:“我敢说,玛贝尔,你是三个孩子中最大的一个。
”当事情不顺心时,你会发现在一段时间里会越变越糟,但当事情一旦开始好转,又常常是越来越好。
这种好日子大约过了六周之后,在印度的爸爸写来一封长长的信,里面有很多惊人的好消息。
老叔祖父柯克去世了,这当然意味着爸爸现在非常富有。
他即将从印度退休回家,再也不走了。
迪格雷一生下来就听说过但从未见过的那幢乡下大房子现在成了他们的家。
大房子里有几套盔甲,有马厩、养狗场,有河流、公园、暖房、葡萄园和树林,后面还有山。
所以,迪格雷和你们一样,十分肯定地认为他们今后将过上幸福生活。
