胡敏读故事记考研词汇mp3+文本(41) aThe study of our Universe is not new. The history of astronomy shows that it is the oldest science. Even in areas where very few people were literate, there have always been men and women curious enough to look up, trying to explain the universe. Studying astronomy was originally a luxury afforded only by male priests and holy men. They would study the macroscopic movements of celestial bodies to determine lunar celebrations and planting cycles. Many people still claim that the work of these purportedly malign priests was not scientific, and full of inaccurate superstitions. However, what these holy men did helped to magnify the role astronomy played in our world.Looking back in history, the ancient Greeks were among the first to start to make theories about the design of the Universe. They worked without modern tools, a single magnet shared among many men. Many earlier observers in history held the literal belief that the heavens were a giant bowl covering the Earth. Later in the 4th century BC, the major philosopher Aristotle said that the sun, moon, and planets all moved incircles surrounding the Earth. Of course, this model would malfunction if used in tracking planets, the moon, or stars. Still, it was able to linger as the predominant scientific view of the universe for a long time, almost 600 years. In 200 AD there came a Roman astronomer Ptolemy, who had moved away from his home to live and study in Egypt. He said that the planets moved in perfect circles around the Earth. Scientists and books continued to maintain this theory for another 400 years.In the 6th century, curiosity was able to lure Nicolas Copernicus, a Polish man, to begin working on a theory of his own. He theorized that the Sun was at the center of the Universe, and that the Earth and other planets revolved around it. The Copernican Model of the Universe, while still incorrect, did three main things. It explained the motions of the planets. It took the Earth out of its incorrect spot as the lump of matter at the center of the Universe. It also expanded the magnitude of the Universe. His literary work, on the revolutions of the heavenly bodies, was published as the lay dying. The knowledge collected by Copernicus and the lofty aspirations of other early astronomers worked to lubricate the beginning of the European Renaissance and the Age of Enlight) aenment.胡敏读故事记考研词汇mp3+文本(70I went on my first date when I was 16 years old. I was really nervous to go on the date, because my date’s looks were very superb. Because ofher superior looks, I had been very nervous to ask her out. I had to summon all of the courage I had just to talk to her, but all of my nerves were a bit superfluous because she was a very kind, down-to-earth girl, not superficial at all. But, suffice it to say, I was still nervous!When I told my dad that I was going on the date, he said he wanted to come and supervise it because I was too young to be dating. But, I couldn’t suppress my anger and I said that if he came my embarrassment would surpass anything I’d experienced before. After I gave him a surplus of reasons why I didn’t want him to come with me, I asked him to remember when he went on his first date. He thought about it then finally agreed with me. He said that if his parents had gone with him on his first date, he would have tried to sue them.Before I left to pick her up, I put on my lucky hat. I wear this hat every time I have to do something important. I’ve had this superstition since I was very young. I picked her up at her house and gave her a summary of my plans for our day together. I wasn’t sure if she would be interested in what I had planned, so I made some extra ideas to supplement my original plan. She said that all of my ideas sounded great and she was looking forward to our day together! Hearing her words and seeing her smile brought me a supreme sense of happiness at that moment.We started our day with a succession of small activities a sum ofwhich involved things at our local mall. We went shopping, played some video games and ordered a large chocolate milk shake and used two straws to suck it all down. I really liked this girl, and the entire day I tried to give her subtle hints to let her know.Because we’d spent so much time at the mall, we had to subtract a few activities from our plan, but we still had time to survey a map of the local hills and we hiked to the summit and back down. I’ll never forget that wonderful day!胡敏读故事记考研词汇mp3+文本(57) aMany years ago lived an Emperor, who loved new clothes. He spent lots of money to reform his wardrobe and refine his clothes. Unlike a regular Emperor, he did not regulate his soldiers, and his city was unsafe. However, the Emperor was happy. He took refuge in his closet, where he had a different coat for every hour of the day.One day, two swindlers came to this city. They began to relate that they could weave the finest cloth imaginable. They said it was not only very beautiful, but was magic, and would be invisible to any man who was bad at his job. They promised excellent work, or a full refund.“That must be wonderful cloth,” the Emperor would often reflect. “I must have this cloth woven for me right away.” He gave a large sum of money to the swindlers. The two men set up weaving looms, began to refer to patterns, and pretended to be making cloth. After a few days,holding empty needles, they pretended to be sewing. All of their work was, of course, redundant, since there was no real cloth and no clothing.The emperor went to regard their work. “I do not see anything at all!” the Emperor thought while watching the two men, “Am I unfit to be emperor? I must pretend I can see it!” The situation was able to reduce the Emperor to fear. He was filled with regret, but it was too late to reject the clothing. So the king praised the cloth, and decided to wear the new clothes and rejoice with the people, and refresh his city with a great parade.胡敏读故事记考研词汇mp3+文本(66) banatomy n. 解剖, 解剖学sponsor n. 发起人,主办者,保证人v. 发起,主办morgue n. 太平间,停尸房spectator n. 观众,旁观者spectacular a. 壮丽的,引人注目的n. 壮丽的演出autopsy n. 尸体解剖, 验尸roll v. 滚动;使摇摆,;辗,卷,(up)卷起n.(一)卷,卷形物,面包卷;名册roll up 卷起; 卷成圆筒形〔球形;到达; 消失;大量积累roll out 铺开; 碾平;滔滔不绝地讲出来; 发出嘹亮的声音;起床;滚了出来specimen [spesimin]n. 标本,样本spit [spit]v. 吐(唾沫),吐痰n. 唾液spit up 咯出…In spite of 虽然, 尽管…spite [spait]n. 恶意;怨恨dissect [disekt]vt. 解剖(动物等);认真分析或讨论various a. 各种各样的;不同的species n.(物)种,种类semester n. 学期dizzy [dizi]a. 头晕目眩的,眩晕的;(可能)使人头晕的,极高的spin [spin]v. 旋转;纺纱;织网,吐丝n. 旋转;自转spoil v. 损坏,搞错;宠坏,溺爱spectacle n.

They could not agree on any parameters. And this disagreement became a parasite that ate at the hearts of our people until we destroyed each other.

As he became acquainted with American politics , however , he realized you have to work hard to keep abreast of changing values to truly understand how absurdly controversial this issue has become. He found out from his American friends that opinions are in abundance of how to teach people to be accountable for their actions, how to make people abide by Family Planning laws, and even how to teach people just to abstain from sex. The significance of this issue became abruptly clear when Xiaomin's best friend, Jeff, got his girlfriend pregnant.Jeff was an acclaimed graduate student who was living an abnormal life from other Americans just by attending a Chinese university to get his Ph.D.(Ph.D. is an abbreviation for Doctor of Philosophy, the highest degree available in a university). Jeff was also an ace soccer player and acoustic guitar player. There was also alway an abundance of women around him. This is how he met Sarah.When Sarah became pregnant with Jeff, his friends suddenly treated him as if he was an accessory to murder. Jeff also felt as if he needed to be acquitted of some crime. But he decided in the end that he and his accomplice, Sarah, would keep the baby. According to Jeff and Sarah, the life of their child was more important than their career. Xiaomin was amazed. Keeping the child would abolish any chance of a successful career for Jeff. And in Xiaomin's eyes, one could activate the process for an abortion with a simple visit to the doctor even though there might be lines, three people abreast.But Jeff and Sarah were firm in their decision and Xiaomin had to abide his friends' decision. Life abounded in surprises. Now Jeff and Sarah were leaving school and returning to the United States. They would do everying they could to accommodate themselves to their new situation.选择生孩子小民从来没想过流产是个大事。

1. The Time of LincolnAbraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America. He is remembered for many things, including his log-cabin home, his absurd looking clothing accessory, a top-hat, but Lincoln’s absolute most important contribution to America’s history was to abolish slavery, a very hard task to accomplish at that time. In the middle of the 19th century, America was split by an abstract border. The country was cut into two parts: the North and the South. There were an abundance of differences which caused this abnormal separation. For instance, the North held all of the Universities and Military Academies whereas in the South, access to such institutions was limited. Also, Northerners spoke standard American English while Southerners spoke with a Southern accent. But the largest difference that abound between the North and the South at that time was slavery and all of the aspects that accompanied it.The North thought that the South should abandon slavery because mint most cases, slaves faced daily abuse from their owners. Most Northerners tried to abide by the rule that “All men are created equal.” These reasons largely account for the American Civil War. The Civil War was a long, brutal war with a very high casualty rate. Many young men from both the North and the South were killed on the battlefield; the death toll was also accelerated by the fact that small Army hospitals could not accommodate so many wounded soldiers.The Civil War was filled with heroes on both sides of the battlefield. Names like U.S.Grant, General Sherman, and the acclaimed Southern General Robert E. Lee. Allof these men fought bravely and made harrowing decisions on their own accord. But Lincoln is probably most often associated with his leadership of the country during this difficult period. He was a firm believer that slavery was wrong and he fought hard to stop it. In 1863, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which legally granted freedom to all slaves living in America. But in 1865, Lincoln’s li fe came to an abrupt ended while he was watching a play at Ford’s Theater in Washington D.C. His death was not an accident; he was assassinated by a man named John Wilkes Booth.Not long after Lincoln’s death, the North defeated the South and the Civil War was ended. The South was no longer thought of as another country, but part of America. And all of the slaves living and working in the South were freed and absorbed into society.2. Mike — a Story of Personal ChangeMike could hardly be described as your typical adolescent. He would casually acknowledge to his few friends that he liked to watch DVDs, although perhaps a more accurate description was that he was a DVD addict. Over the last six months, Mike had accumulated thousands of DVDs. When he was not at school, he had become accustomed to spending his time wandering the streets of the city, acquiring more and more films. Indeed, it became a joke that if asked for his address, he would give the address of the DVD shop adjacent to our school since he spent so much time there.Mike hated attending school. In his eyes, its only advantage was its location.During lessons, he adopted a rather cool demeanor towards most of his classmates and was often accused of being aloof. All he seemed concerned about was adding to his DVD collection. In truth, Mike had not adapted to life at the school very well. Perhaps he felt that he still needed adequate time to adjust to a new environment although no one could work out why he harbored such an acute feeling of self-pity.As someone who also adore s watching films, I had slowly become acquainted with Mike. I had often seen him in the DVD shop which adjoined our school, yet it took a long time before he responded to my advances of friendship. Maybe it was an exaggeration to say we were actually friends, although he would at least acknowledge my presence with a cursory nod of the head when he saw me.One day, I was asked to administrate our school’s new film club. I was a little wary about asking Mike to help me select suitable films in case he said no. however, I needn’t have worried. Mike’s face lit up as he scrutinized a poster I had just adhered to the wall. The poster advertised the grand opening of the Film Club the following week. ‘Hey David,’ he mutter ed excitedly, ‘I want to be involved with that.’The change in Mike’s behavior over the next month was dramatic. I have no doubt that it was the Film Club which activated the turnaround. Once a boy who spent most of his time sulk ing, Mike was now a model student. Before each film was shown, he would give a very informative speech about the director and main actors. Everyone was impressed by his knowledge and passion for films and he suddenly became extremely popular at school.3. SaltNow that Billy’s parents were a little more affluent, the family had agreed that they could a cottage on the out skirts of town. Although the cottage was somewhat old-fashioned, the agent who rented the place to them was keen to advocate that they should not install air-conditioning as they could air-condition the place by opening the skylights. The day that they moved, the air was heavy with the advent of spring, a sense of renewal accompanied them along the way; Billy and the old dog Rufus watched the amazing aerial gymnastics of the swallows out of the car window, browsing through the family album every now and then. When they arrived, a group of men were unloading the van. Billy thought looking around the new surroundings should be placed high on their agenda, so he whistled to Rufus and they set off on an adventure. They found a small footpath, Rufus showing his excitement and his affection for Billy by panting and wag ging his tail. Billy was at an age when he could still feel a sense of aesthetic excitement at the beauty of nature. The adverse effects of those years in the city seemed to vanish as he walked, and with Rufus as his affiliate he felt invincible. However, he had reckoned without Rufus. They rounded a bend in the path and suddenly, in the next field, they saw sheep. Rufus knew a good game when he saw one, he ran straight into the field, baking aggressively. Just then, a man in green boots stepped out and in an equally aggressive manner started to shout at Rufus to get out of the field. With a sense of alarm, Billy realized that the man was carrying a shotgun and he saw him level it and take aim at Rufus.“Please don’t shoot”, yelled Billy, but this seemed to aggravate the man still more.The gun went off and Rufus howled in agony. He ran helter-skelter back to Billy with his tail between his legs. The man strode over to Billy.“Those sheep are pregnant”, the man said, angrily. “If you agitate them they can lose their lambs. I will affirm my right to kill any dog that chases them.”“I agree”, said Billy. “And I’m sorry, please; help me get Rufus to a vet!”“I don’t think your dog will need a vet this time”, said them man, “the gun was only loaded with salt. But next time, keep him on a lead, okay?”4. Freshman YearI was born in a small town, up in the mountains. Because of the high altitude, few people lived there. I was always amid my neighbors and friends, people I had known for all of my life. When I was in my hometown, I felt like those days would last forever. But the days went by quickly, and soon I found myself packing my bags for college. I was full of ambition, and had applied to go to university in a big city.When I first got to my university, I was on the alert for everything. I felt very much alone without my family and friends. I was like an alien arriving on a new planet. I felt like an ambassador from another world. Once classes started, things were better. I was busier, because I had to allocate most of my time to studying. I wanted to work hard, and did not allow my self to go to a large amount of parties. I wanted to find an alternate social life that would let me have fun, without always drinking alcohol, like some university students do. Many people allege that this is why some students get bad grades their first year at university.Because I felt very ambiguous about what I wanted to study, I took many different classes. I tried many different things, but still hadn’t found the perfect match for me. This made me feel even more lost at school, and I knew I had to find a way to amend things. In order to make new friends, and alleviate my loneliness, I joined the drama club at my school. It was there I met my first ally. The president of the drama club was an older student, named Betty. She was quite amiable, and helped give me advice about school. She helped me to alter my schedule so that I had the best classes.Soon our drama club put on its first show. It was a comedy, full of jokes to amuse the audience. My parents and friends even drove out to watch me. We were only amateur actors, but I think we did a go od job. After the show, my father said, “Sarah, you amaze me, I didn’t know you were so good at acting!” such ample praise made me very proud. That was when I realized what I wanted to be, an actress.5. Story of the VikingsJerry had been interested in ancient history since he was a little child. Every night before going to bed, his grandfather would tell him stories of great civilizations like the Romans, the Vikings, the Incas and many others. These short anecdotes and stories always involved great kings and leaders, great wars and battles, and great heroes and foes. However, a story that had anything to do with the fierce Vikings was always Jerry’s favorite. He was most interested in these stories because his grandfather had analyzed their family tree and discovered that the family’s ancestorswere actually Vikings.Every day at school, Jerry would wonder what story his grandfather would tell him that night.. He was always anxious to come home so that he could see his grandfather and hear the next story. Apart from the action of each story, Jerry’s grandfather also tried to teach Jerry a life-lesson that he could apply in his life. Jerry’s grandfather often accomplished this by using analogies to compare Jerry’s life with some thing from that day’s story. The story that Jerry enjoyed the most was about an annual fishing trip that the Vikings made each year on a certain anniversary. in this story, the captain of a large Viking ship decided to set sail without bringing their large, heavy anchor because they did not anticipate the trip taking a long time and they wanted more room for all of the fish too because the Vikings had a strong appetite for fish.Some of the Vikings on the ship were appalled at the decision of not bringing an anchor because of the apparent danger of not bringing one. They thought the ship was anything but safe. These men appealed to the captain of the ship and one man even wrote an anonymous letter to the king of the Vikings asking that an anchor be put on the ship. But the captain of the ship announced that they were leaving the next day. This answer annoyed several of the Viking crew, but they listed to their captain and set sail.Not long after setting sail, the Viking ship encountered a large storm. The ship was being badly damaged and the captain felt anguish because they needed the large anchor at this moment. Soon after the storm ended, the captain apologized to his crewfor not listening to them and promised to buy all of them a bottle of beer when they returned home. Although the crew of the ship was still wet and tired from the storm, they applauded when they heard the captain apologize.6. The Young Police ChiefJim had been appointed as the police chief of his local division—an appointment that he took very seriously as he secretly aspired to ascend to become the leader of the entire city’s police department. His promotion had not met with the approval of everyone within the department, because although he was an apt leader who did not ask too much of his men, many did not appreciate his somewhat arrogant methods when dealing with the senior members of the police force. As one of the youngest police chiefs ever, his promotion was considered by many of the older policemen an assault on the way thing had always been done, and they were very apprehensive at an array of new programs that Jim had installed within the department. They considered him to be an outsider who had come ashore without spending an appropriate amount of time on the police force before being promoted.Sal, one of the oldest members of the force, took Jim aside to ascertain whether Jim was aware that there might be problems ahead. “It’s not that we don’t approve of the job that you are doing”, Sal said, “but your promotion at such a young age has aroused the curiosity of what if is that makes you deserving of such a position. We need time to appraise your performance.” Jim was a very articulate young man, and there was nothing artificial about him. He decided to speak to all of the men as a group before any more problems could arise. “I understand your concerns, but Iassure you that the commissioner’s decision to appoint me as your leader was not an arbitrary one”, Jim said confidently to the group. “I am not ashamed of my young age, and I hope that you will give me time to prove to you that I am worthy of being your police chief.” at that very moment, the sound of gunfire was heard outside as an assault began on the bank across the street—the criminal had very foolishly chosen to approach a bank very close to a police station. Jim was the first policeman to run outside and approach the gunman. His apt ability in dealing with such a dangerous situation was apparent to everyone. Within approximately two minutes, he had arrested the bank robber. Jim had not only prevented a crime, but he had also earned the respect and appreciation for his fellow officers, who now felt ashamed that had ever questioned his leadership abilities.7. Accident on Elm StreetThe junction between Elm Street and Beech Street was an accident black spot. It was easy to assume that no one would be coming the other way, and if a driver was not attentive enough he could easily come to grief. People attributed this to the fact that children would often assemble at the junction, making it hard for drivers to assess the traffic situation. Local residents would often assert that the only way to make the junction safe would be to augment the poorly lit stop signs with a set of lights, or at the very least, to assign a lollipop person to the junction at the times when children were going to and from school.The local police were sympathetic to these requests, but to no avail. They claimed they lacked the authority to install a set of lights. Things had been tight since theprevious year’s local governm ent audit, and funds were unlikely to be forthcoming. However, they would, when asked, frequently assure the questioner that they hoped the government would soon augment their budget and allow them increased autonomy in making financial decisions, in which case dealing with the Elm Street junction would be a top priority. Many people pointed out that simply to wait for the government to act was pointless, that maybe a set of traffic lights could be purchased cheaply in an auction, or that a lollipop person, besides making the junction safer for the children, would cheer the place up and be an authentic asset to the community. But it seemed that for ordinary people to suggest improvements to their own community merely served to astonish the police.The matter was settled in a rather unlikely fashion. At the beginning of March a collision occurred between the Chief of Police and the auxiliary fire service chief who was speeding to attend a fire. The Chief of Police saw the accident coming and sounded his horn to give aural warning of his approach, but the auxiliary fir service chief was already attempting to avoid a small boy and was unable to assimilate the warning signals in time. The auxiliary fire service chief and his associate, who was in the back seat, were unhurt. The chief of police, however, was slightly concussed. he got out of his vehicle and staggered around with a slightly bemused expression on his face, as though he was about to attain nirvana, after which he spent twenty minutes trying to attach a parking ticket to the hole where the fireman’s windscreen had been.8. The Fishing tripMy father has always loved fishing. Every summer weekend, instead of going to a bar with his bachelor friends, he would head back to his favorite lake, I always begged to go with him to back him up if he caught a big fish, but he said no. I could not bear it any more, but one day I came up with the plan. Seven o'clock that Saturday morning found me already awake. I found my father's old fishing rod, a pair of binoculars, and took some bait from the refrigerator. To avert my mother's suspicion, I told her I was going to a friend's house, and I headed to the lake.The lake was huge, and at first I just stared in awe at the sun on the water. walked down the edge and, a bit awkward at first, began to fish. From my base at the side of the water on a barren beach, I could see an older bald man with a hare head, fishing on the other side of the lake. I looked through my binoculars, and saw that it was my father! He could not see me. All day I fished, and watched my father through the binoculars. I was surprised, because he was quite an average fisherman. He seemed to pay little attention to the fish, and spent a lot of time staring at beautiful things around him.That day, my first time fishing, I managed to catch three big fish, enough for a banquet or just a batch of my mother's award winning fried fish. My mother loved my father bringing home fish. My family wasn't bankrupt; but my mother did love a good bargain. Fishing was popular in our area, and there was no ban on cathing a 1arge number of fish. Legislation to protect fishermen was always on the local ballot .That day, I didn't see my father catch anything. He seemed to enjoy himself, but I think his fascination with nature was a barrier to his catching anything.In the afternoon, I headed home early. I ran home and told my story to my mother and asked her to cook up some of her famous fried fish. Just when the fish was ready, we heard our dog's barks and my father's car, with a bang, pull into the driveway When he saw the fish on the table he was shocked，but very Proud. He promised that now, every week, I could go with him to the lake.9. Story of a Criminal Who Became GoodTommy grew up in a very poor family and felt that he had a bleak future. From a young age he believed the only way to become rich and successful was to cause trouble. He often bewildered his parents with his bizarre behavior at home and at school, but they always loved him because parents always have a positive bias towards their own children. For example, when Tommy got into trouble at school, they would come and speak to the school-master on behalf of their son. His parents would always behave in a benign way towards their son and always show him love. In fact, every night, they would say a prayer and ask God to bless their child.Unfortunately, when Tommy was 11 years old, his house was destroyed in a b1aze. Tommy was very sad about the fire and he blamed himself for it because beforehand he had lit some candles in his bedroom. A flower in his room was near the candle's flame and some blossoms started burning. Soon，the whole room was burning, and when the flames reached the kitchen, there was a large blast. Luckily, Tommy was uninjured in the fire, but his family was left to live on the street. Mostnights he would sneak into the public library and sleep in the warm basement. To get into the library, he had to bend some metal bars covering the window.As Tommy got older, he started getting a lot of money from being a criminal. He often bet on boxing matches and horse races and once, he even pretended he was blind so people would give him some money.One night, while Tommy was sleeping in the 1ibrary, he heard a noise coming from inside the library. He got near and tried to see, but a bookshelf blocked his view, so he went the other direction. What he saw shocked him! He saw the mayor of his town trying to steal the b1ueprints to the local bank. Tommy didn't say anything, but the next day Tommy went to the mayor's house and said that he wanted some money or he would tell the police what the mayor had done. The mayor didn't like being blackmailed, but he had no choice, so he gave Tommy a blank check.Tommy remembered his childhood，and used the money from the mayor to build a park for local children's benefit. He blended many different flowers together, so when they bloomed, they formed a beautifu1 garden.10.The Ultimate BIunderIf was the perfect plan. From years of experience of working at the bank on First Street, Charlie knew that every third Thursday of every month, the executive board would replenish the supply of money, check the bolts and change the locks in the main vault. At that time, there were usually at least ten armed security guards andpolicemen watching every move. She also knew that for the past month, they had been boycotting their usual locksmith, as he had breached his last month's contract by being so bold as to boast about his monthly job to his buddies at the bar.As the bank's business was booming, their trust in Charlie seemed to increase by leaps and bounds as well. What it boiled down to, really, was that her plan to boost their bonus system for clients who invested at least $10,000 a year had a better success rate than any other plan in the last decade. It was only because she bore such a striking resemblance to Mrs. Smith, the original owner of the bank, that she was able to be as blunt as she wanted to be without having to brace herself one bit. If that hadn't been the case, she would never have proposed such an outrageous plan. When her managers, and other coworkers alike, looked at her, they often blushed, thinking that it was Mrs. Smith, and not Charlie, that they were looking at.So, it was not all that strange when Charlie walked into his manager's office that afternoon and suggested that she do the locksmith's job that night. As it was a small town, they all knew that she and her father had a tight bond from all the summers they worked together as locksmiths. Of course, her boss said OK, Charlie did the job, and afterwards, she took everyone out for a drink. As they drank more and more, everything became a bit of a blur. With the knowledge she gained from the drunken security guards, she had all the information she needed to break into the bank.As she neared the Canadian border early the next morning with enough money to never have to work again, she suddenly put on the brakes, took a deepbreath, put her 1eft hand to her bosom, and reached into her pocket with her right. Her dream of bouncing from one city to another as Mrs. Smith was crushed. Her wallet, which contained all of her documents, was in the vault.5、关于坚持的名言，678910111213141550 16171819202122232425。

He decided to speak to all of the men as a group before any more problems could arise. “I understand your concerns, butI assure you that the commissioner’s decision to appoint me as your leader was not an arbitrary one”,Jim saidconfidently to the group. “I am not ashamed of my young age, and I hope that you will give me time to prove to you that I am worthy of being your police chief.”at that very moment, the sound of gunfire was heard outside as an assault began on the bank across the street—the criminal had very foolishly chosen to approach a bank very close to a police station. Jim was the first policeman to run outside and approach the gunman. His apt ability in dealing with such a dangerous situation was apparent to everyone. Within approximately two minutes, he had arrested the bank robber. Jim had not only prevented a crime, but he had also earned the respect and appreciation for his fellow officers, who now felt ashamed that had ever questioned his leadership abilities.7. Accident on Elm StreetThe junction between Elm Streetand Beech Street was an accident black spot. It was easy to assume that no one would be coming the other way, and if a driver was not attentive enough he could easily come to grief. People attributed this to the fact that children would often assemble at the junction, making it hard fordrivers to assess the traffic situation.Local residents would often assert that the only way to make the junction safe would be to augment the poorly lit stop signs with a set of lights, or at the very least, to assign a lollipop person to the junction at the times when children were going to and from school.The local police were sympathetic to these requests, but to no avail.They claimed they lacked the authority to install a set of lights. Things had been tight since the previous year’s local government audit, and funds were unlikely to be forthcoming. However, they would, when asked, frequently assure the questioner that they hoped the government would soon augment their budget and allow them increased autonomy in making financial decisions, in which case dealing with the Elm Street junction would be a top priority. Many people pointed out that simply to wait for the government to act was pointless, that maybe a set of traffic lights could be purchased cheaply in an auction, or that a lollipop person, besides making the junction safer for the children, would cheer the place up and be an authentic asset to the community. But it seemed that for ordinarypeople to suggest improvements to their own community merely served to astonish the police.The matter was settled in a rather unlikely fashion. At the beginning of March a collision occurred between the Chief of Police and the auxiliary fire service chief who was speeding to attend a fire. The Chief of Police saw the accident coming and sounded his horn to give aural warning of his approach, but the auxiliary fir service chief was already attempting to avoid a small boy and was unable to assimilate the warning signals in time. The auxiliary fire service chief and his associate, who was in the back seat, were unhurt. The chief of police, however, was slightly concussed. he got out of his vehicle and staggered around with a slightly bemused expression on his face, as though he was about to attain nirvana, after which he spent twenty minutes trying to attach a parking ticket to the hole where the fireman’s windscreen had been.81.The Missing CatChristina and Patrick baker stood outside their empty house. They watchedthe moving company work, packing the last cardboard boxes in the large truck. They wereready to go, but their cat Nutty was nowhere to be found.Nutty had decided to withdraw and had hidden himself in the woods behind his owner’s house. Now it was time to go, and his owner were beginning to wonder where he was. The removal company wasn’t willing to wait any more, so Christina and Patrick got into the truck. Making a decision that would wrench their hearts, they left their cat behind.Their new house, across the town from their old house, was a lot beautiful. But Christina and Patrick were not happy. Nutty was worth a lot to them, they missed him greatly. Christina had given the cat as a present to Patrick on their first Christmas together. That day they laughed and laughed watching the small bundle of fur wrap himself up in a bit of wire that he had got from their Christmas wreath. He had wound himself up while wrestling with the wire, and was now unable to move, and were beginning to worship Nutty, and the joy he brought to them.Unable to withstand a life without their favorite friend, the couple made a plan. They sat down to write a flyer. They wrote about their missing cat, and taped aphoto of Nutty to the flyer. Then they went to xerox copies of the flyer. They drove back to their old neighborhood, and stuck the flyers up on telephone poles and in the local store.Sadly, the flyer did not yield the results they had been looking for. Not one single witness stepped forward to offer a word of information about their cat. However, a few days later they were outside of their new house when they heard a strange sound. They turned around and saw Nutty running towards them meowing! Somehow Nutty had followed their zigzag path, across every major zone of the city, and made it to their home. Christina and Patrick embraced their cat with zeal. Of course the cat was a wreck due to the journey. Someone or something had wounded him. He looked wretched, but they loved every wrinkle. They praised the cat for his bravery and wit. They hadn’t found him, but he had found them!。

A fox and a crane sat on the ground beside a lake. The Fox invited the Crane. The Crane was grateful for the invitation and accepted happily. Foxes, as we know, hail from the forest and fields. So, the Crane left her house near the water, and traveled to the Fox’s grand house to eat with him. The Fox heard a knock at his door, and stood up to greet the Crane. The Fox had prepared a delicious soup, which he served in a shallow dish. No matter how the Crane tried, with her long bill, she was unable to drink the soup from the shallow dish. She didn’t have hands with which to grasp the dish, and her long bill was too thin to eat in this way. Her long, sharp bill only served to hamper her, and she could only get a taste. Meanwhile the Fox with his greedy tongue quickly lapped it all up. As everyone knows, the Crane is an animal known for her grace. So, when she left, with a grim smile, she thanked him.

40篇短文搞定考研英语核心词汇
40篇短文搞定考研英语核心词汇全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Learning Big Words for the Grad School TestHi there! My name is Lily and I'm going to tell you all about how to learn the really important words you need to know for the big English test to get into graduate school. It's super important to know these words really well if you want to ace the test. But don't worry, I've got some great tips to make it easy and fun!First up, you need to know what words are the really crucial ones to focus on. The test makers have carefully picked out around 4,000 words that show up again and again on the exam. They call these the "core vocabulary" words. If you can commit these key words to memory, you'll be able to understand the reading passages and questions way better.Now, 4,000 words sounds like a ton, I know. But don't freak out! There are some awesome tricks to breaking it down into manageable chunks. My favorite method is using those "40 Word Lists" that group the vocab into bite-sized lists of 40 wordseach. That brings the total down to just 100 lists, which is so much easier to wrap your head around.The coolest part is, you only need to do one list per day to get through all 4,000 core words in less than 4 months! How's that for taking a huge task and making it totally doable? Just 40 words a day - you can definitely handle that.But simply reading through a list of definitions won't really make the words stick in your brain for the long haul. That's where the fun part comes in - making memorable associations!For each new word, take a second to create a vivid picture in your mind that connects the definition to something silly, weird or just plain outrageous. The funnier and more absurd, the better! Like for the word "abate" which means to become less intense. You could picture a bright red hot air balloon slowly having the air let out and sagging down - "abating" in intensity as it shrivels up. Weird visual images are 10x stickier for your memory than just reading "abate - to diminish in force or intensity."You can take it a step further and make up goofy poems, songs, jokes or storylines for each new vocabulary word. I like to pretend my dog Rufus is having conversations with the words - he mumbles "hello my perfidious friend" to the word perfidious(meaning untrustworthing/disloyal) in a gruff doggy voice. So silly, but man does it get those words locked into my brain!Another big tip is to USE the new words you're learning in your daily life and conversations. If you just passively read them in lists, they'll have a hard time transitioning from short-term into long-term memory. But if you actively APPLY each vocab word - even in simple sentences to your parents or by describing the sagacious squirrel (wise/showing good judgment) in your backyard - boom! You're coding that word into yourwalking-around knowledge.Here's an example schedule for tackling one 40-word list per day:In the morning: Read through the list of 40 new words and their definitions a few times so you have a basic familiarity.Throughout the day: Work on creating those wild visual associations and funny memory tricks for 10 words from the list. Space it out in free moments, don't try to do them all at once!In the evening: Come up with simple example sentences using 10 more words from the list. Describe something fun you did that day using the new vocab terms!Repeat the next day with the remaining 20 words. In just 2 days, you've cemented an entire list of 40 high-level vocab words into your long-term memory - wahoo!The last big tip? Make it a habit to review older word lists occasionally so you keep all those hard-earned vocab gains fresh. Set a calendar reminder to cycle through previous lists from every 2 weeks ago, 4 weeks ago, 3 months ago and so on. That way, you never lose what you've learned.So there you have it - a simple game plan for learning 4,000 essential words over just a few months without going crazy. Break it into fun, bite-sized chunks and get creative in how you commit each word to long-term memory. Before you know it, you'll be a vocab superhero smashing that grad school test!If you put in the consistent effort from day one, I know you can absolutely make it happen. Those core vocabulary words will be your new best friends in no time! Let me know if you have any other questions along the way. Now get out there and start building that brilliant word bank!篇2Mastering Core Vocab for Grad School: A Kid's GuideHey there, fellow kiddos!

Words like "amiable" (friendly), "belligerent" (aggressive), and "reticent" (shy).

Power words like "ephemeral" (lasting a very short time), "plausible" (likely to be true), and "pragmatic" (focusing on reality) will level-up your tales.Chapter 3: Just Judge ItSomeday you might become a judge, or at least want to judge that epic baking competition reality show. Either way, you'll need precise words like "astute" (smart), "prudent" (wise), and "vindicate" (clear from blame) in your vocab arsenal.Chapter 4: The Science SpectacleFor all my brothers and sisters dreaming of careers in science and technology, let's rock some core words like "empirical" (based on experiments), "salient" (most important), and "hypothetical" (based on possible scenarios, not certainties).Trust me, using words like these will make you sound just like a genius scientist!Mastering just these first few sets of core vocabulary words is an awesome start...but we've got 36 more chapters to go!

She had a peculiar habit of wearing mismatched socks on her massive feet, causing the other animals to stare in bewilderment. But Ellie didn't mind; she embraced her eccentricity with pride.Story 3: The Diligent DolphinDeep in the vast ocean, a diligent dolphin named Dory swam tirelessly, always striving to be punctual for her underwater ballet classes. Her dedication and perseverance inspire篇4Learn Big Words with Fun Short Stories!Hi there! My name is Jamie and I'm going to tell you all about how I learned tons of big vocabulary words to get ready for the really important English tests for graduate school. I used to think those huge word lists were sooo boring and hard to memorize. But then my teacher showed me a much better way -reading short stories that use those words in a natural and fun way!Instead of just staring at definitions, I got to see the words come alive through cool characters and exciting plots. By the time I was done with all 40 stories, I felt like a vocabulary master! I'm going to share some of my favorites with you so you can learn words the easy and enjoyable way too.Story #1 - The Ebullient ElephantThis one was about an elephant named Ellie who was always ebullient, which means cheerful and full of energy. One day, Ellie was so ebullient that she did jumping jacks until her legs got wobbly! Her friends thought she was hilarious. This story taught me ebullient in a really memorable way.Story #2 - The Quintessential QueenHere, a queen wanted to throw the quintessential royal party, meaning the perfect example or most typical kind of party for a queen. She made sure to have all the quintessential things like fancy food, music, and guests dripping in jewels. Visualizing that over-the-top quintessential queenly party stuck that word in my brain!Story #3 - The Cataclysmic Crayon CrisisThis dramatic tale was about a bunch of crayons that caused a totally cataclysmic event - a violent and disastrous upheaval. Basically, they got into a crazy fight and their brilliant colors exploded everywhere, staining the classroom in a rainbow catastrophe! After that visual chaos, I'll never forget cataclysmic.Those are just a few examples of the fun and creative ways these stories taught me core vocab words. There were 37 more that covered other tough ones like auspicious, parsimonious, ephemeral, ubiquitous, and myriad.Some of the stories were funny, some were more thoughtful, some had wacky plots with talking animals. But they all did an amazing job of bringing those big vocabulary words to life in contexts that stuck in my memory way better than just reading definitions.If you want to build your word power for those big English tests without getting bored out of your mind, I highly recommend tracking down this collection of 40 short readings. They made prepping for vocabulary feel like a total breeze instead of a chore. Plus, I got to enjoy cool little stories along the way!I'm feeling so confident about knocking those English vocabulary sections out of the park. Just don't tell my teacher Icalled the stories "fun" - I have a cool reputation to maintain! But between you and me, they were an awesome way to learn.篇5Mastering Core English Vocabulary Through 40 Fun StoriesHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm going to share with you an awesome way to learn lots of really important English words. You know how when you're reading books or trying to understand teachers, there are always bunches of big fancy words you don't know? Well, I found a super cool trick to master those words so you can become a vocabulary ninja!It's called the "40 Short Passages" method. Sounds kind of boring, right? But trust me, it's actually really fun. Basically, you read 40 short little stories and each story is packed with some of the most essential vocabulary words for tests like the GRE, TOEFL, and all those grown-up exams. By reading the stories, the words get burned into your brain without you even trying hard!Let me give you an example from one of the passages about a really smart professor named Dr. Svensson:"The professor was renowned for his erudite lectures that elucidated even the most abstruse concepts. His propensity forrigorous analysis rendered his theories impervious to facile critiques..."See what I mean? Words like "erudite", "elucidated", "abstruse", "propensity", "rigorous", "impervious", and "facile" are all super useful to know, but they can be real tongue-twisters at first. But when you see them IN a story about a professor being really smart and giving amazing lectures, it's way easier to figure out what they mean through context. The stories make the words feel alive instead of just being boring definitions!Another thing I love about these passages is that they cover a huge range of topics - from science and history to poetry and philosophy. So you're not just memorizing lists of words, but actually learning ABOUT really fascinating ideas and events while building your vocabulary. It's like Getting two brain-boosters for the price of one!And the stories are pretty short - usually just a paragraph or two each. So you can read one per day without getting bored or feeling overwhelmed. I read one during breakfast, one during my free period at school, maybe one before bed. It's a fun, bite-sized way to constantly be expanding your word knowledge.Plus, all the super-hard words have defInitions and sample sentences provided right there on the same page. So if aparticular word or phrase still has you stumped after reading the story, you can just peek down below for help. No more getting stuck or having to lug around a gigantic dictionary everywhere!I've only been doing the 40 Short Passages for a couple months, but I can already tell my English vocabulary has gotten enormously stronger. Whenever we read books in class, I find myself recognizing and understanding way more of those fancy vocabulary terms that used to go completely over my head. My grades on vocab quizzes have gone way up too!And you know what the best part is? I'm not just memorizing words for tests and then forgetting them. By reading them over and over across 40 fun little stories, the words are really sticking in my brain for good. I find myself using lots of my new vocab words when I'm writing stories, talking to my parents, even chatting with friends. Before you know it, I'll be sounding like a real erudite elocutionist!So if you're working towards any kind of big English exam like the GRE, TOEFL, IELTS, or whatever - or if you just want to sound like a super-intelligent professor yourself - I highly recommend trying out the 40 Short Passages method. It's been a total game-changer for me and my vocabulary has grown enormously without me even really trying that hard. Pretty soonyou'll be the one making up funny new words that make everyone go "huh??" Trust me, it's an awesome skill to have!篇6Learning Big Words for the Really Important TestHi there! My name is Emily and I'm in 5th grade. I really love reading and writing, and I have a big dream - I want to go to a super cool university when I grow up! But first, I have to take this huge test called the graduate entrance exam. It's really hard and has a ton of big vocabulary words I need to know. Luckily, my teacher gave me a great book with 40 short stories to help me learn the core words for the test. I'm going to share a bit about how I'm using the book. Let me know if any of the words are too big for you and I'll explain them!The first story was about a curious little girl who embarked on an adventure through the forest. I didn't know what embarked meant at first, but the story helped me figure it out - it means to start a journey. The girl was so inquisitive, always asking questions about the plants and animals. Inquisitive means really curious and wanting to learn. She discovered a small creek and was absolutely captivated by the way the water sparkled.Captivated means like hypnotized, totally fascinated by something.Those are just a few examples of how the stories introduce new vocabulary words in context, so you can use the story to understand the meaning. The book also has definitions and practice exercises at the end of each story. After reading that first tale, I made flashcards for embarked, inquisitive, and captivated, and practiced using them in sentences.Another story was about two utopian societies on different planets. Utopian means like a perfect world with no problems. The planets looked idyllic at first, meaning like a perfect beautiful place. But then a clash erupted between them over their values and beliefs. A clash is like a battle or war, and erupted means it started suddenly like a volcano! This tale taught me those new words plus reiterate, which means to repeat or say again.Some of the stories are silly and fun, while others are more serious. There was one about a physicist, which is a science expert who studies physics and the laws of nature. She made a groundbreaking discovery that was paradigm-shifting. Groundbreaking means really new and innovative, and paradigm-shifting means it completely changed the way people think about that subject. Wild, right?I'm having so much fun reading these stories and learning all the great new vocabulary. My favorites are probably the ones with fantasy elements - like mythical creatures, magical spells, and epic heroes going on quests. Those always have the coolest words! I feel like each story expands my lexicon, which is just a fancy way to say vocabulary. Heehee!I still have a bunch more stories to read, but I'm already feeling way more confident about understanding hard words for that big test. My teacher says if I can master this core vocabulary from the 40 stories, I'll be really prepared. She's so nurturing and wants to facilitate my learning. Facilitate means to help make something easier. Aww, I just love her!Well, that's a little peek into how I've been using these awesome short stories to get ready for the vocabulary on the graduate exam. I'm working super diligently each day to augment my word knowledge. Augment means to increase or make bigger. With perseverance and hard work, I know my lexicon and comprehension skills will be enhanced by the time test day rolls around! Wish me luck, and let me know if any of those vocabulary words gave you trouble. I'm always happy to elucidate them further! What's elucidate, you ask? You'll have to wait for the next story to find out!。

The Time of LincolnAbraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America. He is remembered for many things, including his log-cabin home，his absurd looking clothing accessory, a top-hat，but Lincoln’s absolute most important contribution to America’s history was to abolish slavery，a very hard task to accomplish at that time。
In the middle of the 19th century，America was split by an abstract border。
The country was cut into two parts：the North and the South. There were an abundance of differences which caused this abnormal separation。
For instance, the North held all of the Universities and Military Academies whereas in the South, access to such institutions was limited. Also, Northerners spoke standard American English while Southerners spoke with a Southern accent. But the largest difference that abound between the North and the South at that time was slavery and all of the aspects that accompanied it.The North thought that the South should abandon slavery because mint most cases，slaves faced daily abuse from their owners。
