Section A 3a
We live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used to be very quiet and nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days, something unusual is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was interviewed by the town newspaper, he said, "Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers having fun. My parents called the policemen, but they couldn’t find anything strange. They think it might be the wind. I don’t think so!〞我们住在一个小镇上，并且几乎每个人都彼此认识。

它过去一直很安静，这附近未曾发生过什么事。

然而，这些天来*件不寻常的事正在我们镇发生。

维克托，我的学校的一名教师，非常紧。

城镇报社采访他时，他说："每天晚上我们都听到窗外有奇怪的噪音。

我妻子认为它可能是一种动物，但我和我的朋友们认为那一定是青少年在玩耍。

我的父母报了警，但他们没发现任何异常。

他们认为那可能是风造成的，我并不这样认为！"
Victor’s ne*t-door neighbor Helen is worried, too. "At first, I thought that it might
be a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, either. So I guess it can’t be a
dog. But then, what could it be"〞 One woman in the area saw something running away, but it was dark so she is not sure. "I think it was too big to be a dog,〞 she said. "Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.〞维克托的隔壁邻居海伦也很担忧。

"起初，我认为它可能是一只狗，但我没看到狗，也没看见其他任何东西。

所以我猜测它不可能是一只狗。

但它可能是什么呢？〞当地的一个妇女看见有个东西逃跑了，但是天黑了，所以她不确定。

"我认为它太大而不可能是一只狗，〞她说，"也许它是一只熊或一只狼。

〞

Stonehenge — Can Anyone E*plain Why It Is There"巨石阵—谁能解释它的纯在？
Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places, but also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. Especially in June, people go to this place as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year. 巨石阵，一个岩石圈，不仅是英国的最著名的历史古迹之一，而且是最大的谜团之一。

每年，它接待75万多游客。

人们尤其喜
欢在六月份去这个地方，因为他们想在一年中最长的一天看日出。

For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to municate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. "The leaders arrived in England much later,〞 he points out. 许多年来，历史学家认为巨石阵是一座古代领导人试图与神灵沟通的寺庙。

然而，历史学家保罗•斯托克认为这不可能是真实的，因为巨石阵建于许多个世纪之前。

"这些领导人抵达英国玩得多，〞他指出。

Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness while keeping people healthy. "As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet climb up your body,〞 said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial place, or a place to honor ancestors. Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy. 另一个普遍的观点是，巨石阵可能是一种日历。

这些巨石以一种特定的方式被放置在一起。

在盛夏的早晨，太阳直接照射在石头的中心。

其他人认为这些石头有一种医学目的。

他们认为这些石头能够预防疾病，并使人们保持安康。

"当你走到那儿时，你可以感觉到能量从你的脚上传到你的身体，〞一个游客说。

没有人确定巨石阵被用来干什么，但大多数人赞同石头的位置一定有一个特殊的目的。

一些人认为它可能是一个墓地或敬重祖先的地方。

其他人认为它是为抢占战胜敌人而建的。

Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. 巨石阵是历经一段很长的时期被慢慢建成的。

大多数历史学家认为它一定接近5000年了。

最大的谜团之一是它是如何建成的，因为那些石头又大又重。

在2001年，一群英国志愿者试图建造另一个巨石阵，但他们没能建成。

"We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,〞 says Paul Stoker. "And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hardworking — and great planners!〞"我们真的不知道谁建造了巨石阵，〞保罗•斯托克说，"或许我们可能永远不知道，但我们确实值得他们一定很勤奋—而且是伟大的规划者！〞

What Do You Feel Like Watching Today"今天你想看什么〔电影〕呢？
While some people only stick to one kind of movie, I like to watch different kinds depending on how I feel that day. 虽然一些人坚持只看一种电影，但是我喜欢看不同种类的电影，〔具体〕由当时的心情决定。

When I’m down or tired, I prefer movies that can cheer me up. edies like Men in Black or cartoons like Kungfu Panda have funny dialogues and usually have a happy ending. The characters may not be perfect, but they try their best to solve their problems. After watching them, I’m filled with hope again and the problems I have suddenly seem less serious. Laughing for two hours is a good way to rela*! 当我情绪低落或感到疲惫的时候，我更喜欢看能让我开心的影片。

比方，像"黑衣人"那样的喜剧片或像"功夫熊猫"这类的动画片，通常都有滑稽的对话和一个愉快的结局。

影片中的人物不一定完美，但是他们都会尽力去解决问题。

看了这样的电影，我所面对的许多问题突然间会显得不则严重，我也会感觉好多了。

两个小时的欢笑是一种很好的放松方式。

I don’t watch dramas or documentaries when I’m sad or tired. Dramas like Titanic make me feel even sadder. Documentaries like March of the Penguins which provide plenty of information about a certain subject can be interesting, but when I’m tired I don’t want to think too much. I don’t mind action movies like Spider-Man when I’m too tired to think. I can just shut off my brain, sit back and enjoy watching an e*citing superhero who always saves the world just in time. 当我伤心或劳累的时候，我不看剧情片或纪录片。

像"泰坦尼克号"这样的剧情片只会让我更伤心。

像"帝企鹅日记"这样的纪录片，〔通常〕会针对*个特定话题提供丰富的信息，〔容〕也很有趣儿，但是当我累的时候，我不想思考太多当我太累不想思考时，我不介意看像"蜘蛛侠"这样的动作电影。

我只想屏蔽我的大脑，坐在那里观看一个令人兴奋的超级英雄，他总是能在关键时刻挽救世界。

Once in a while, I like to watch movies that are scary, like horror movies or thrillers. Movies like The
Ring or The Shining can be fun, but I’m too scared to watch them alone. I always bring a friend who isn’t afraid of these kinds of movies. 偶尔我会喜欢看恐惧片。

虽然它们很有意思，但是我会因为太害怕而不敢单独一个人看，我总会带上一位不怕这类型电影的朋友〔一起看〕，这就会觉得没则可怕了。

Sad but Beautiful凄美
Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folkmusic. The piece which was played on the erh u especially moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain. The piece had a simple name, "Moon Reflected on Second Spring〞, but was one of the most moving pieces of music that I’ve ever heard. The erhu sounded like it was crying, and I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of "Moon Reflected on Second Spring〞, and I began to understand the sadness in the music. 昨晚我的一个中国朋友带我去听了一场中国民间音乐会。

其中有一首二胡曲令我特别感动。

音乐出奇的美，但是在那美的背后，我感受到悲伤和痛苦。

这首曲子有个简单的名字"二泉映月"，但它是我听过的最感人的曲子之一。

二胡的声音听起来则悲伤，以至于我在听的时候也几乎随着它哭了。

后来我查阅了"二泉映月"的历史，开场理解音乐中蕴含的伤感。

The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wu*i in 1893. Just one year later, his mother died. Abing’s father taught him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and by age 17, Abing was known for his musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing’s life grew worse. He was very poor, caught a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and played music to make money. Even after Abing got married and had a home again, he continued to sing and play in the city streets. He performed in this way for many years. 这首曲子是由一位民间音乐家阿炳写成，他于1893年出生在市。

在他还小的时候，他的母亲就去世了。

阿炳的父亲教他弹奏各种乐器，如鼓、笛子和二胡。

到了17岁，阿炳就以他的音乐天赋闻名。

然而，他的父亲去世以后，阿炳的生活变得更糟糕。

他很穷，还得了严重的疾病，眼睛瞎了。

好些年他都没有家，他住在大街上，以弹奏音乐来谋生。

即使他结了婚有了家以后，他还是继续在街道上唱歌、弹曲，他以这种方式表演了好多年。

Abing’s amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music, many of which he wrote himself. It is a pity that only si* pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear, but his popularity continues to this day. Today, Abing’s "Moon Reflected on Second Spring〞 is a piece which all the great erhu。
