• 迈尔斯让我明白，我父亲的许多希望并没有随他而逝。我看着迈尔斯 时，懂得了我父亲在我身上看到的东西-- 对美好未来的希望。我真 希望有一种办法能让父亲和我一起分享他的宝贝孙子。但是命运不这 么看。我的母亲再婚了，现在，迈尔斯和我都得到继父的关爱。我们 彼此间在爱、钦慕和尊重的基础上建立起了深厚的父子情。继父对我 来说，既是父亲，朋友，又是 顾问。他让我明白了，父子不一定要 有血缘关系。父亲就是一位愿意声称儿子是他自己的，并愿意承担这 种关系所包含的责任。我庆幸在自己的一生中受到了他的影响。
•
Miles taught me that the hope my father had in abundance did not die with him. When I look at Miles, I know what my father saw in me － hope for a better future. I wish there were a way to share with my father his precious grandson. Fate didn't see it that way. My mother married again, and now both Miles and I benefit from a caring stepfather. We have developed a father and son bond based on love, mutual admiration, and respect. My stepfather has been there for me as father, friend, and counselor. He also had taught me that fathers and sons don't necessarily have to share flesh and bones. A father is someone who is willing to claim a son as his own and take the responsibility of that relationship. I am fortunate to have his influence in my life.

Complex Problem
A popular argument by people seeking to deny the validity of evolution is that humans are simply too complex to have evolved without some kind of creator lending a helping hand. This argument was first put forward in 1802 by the Christian philosopher William Paley, who used the analogy of a watchmaker. Something as complex as a watch, Paley argued, had to have a designer. A version of this idea was revived by creationists and is now referred to as the intelligent design argument. One proponent of this belief is the biochemist Michael Behe. In one of his books, Behe referred to the “irreducible complexity” of organisms like human beings. Such organisms are so sophisticated, the argument goes, that removing even one tiny element from them would cause them to malfunction.

2 猜测词义 在大量的阅读中必定会碰到一些生词，如马 上去查词典，不但直接影响阅读速度而且容 易打断思维活动的连贯性和对问题的思考。 因此掌握通过上下文猜测词义是提高阅读速 度的重要手段之一。猜测词义的线索很多， 下面介绍几种常见的方法。 （1）根据文中的解释
即用较浅显的文字对某一难词加以说明。 如：A calendar is a list of days, weeks , months of a year. 根据定义可知“calendar” 的词义是“日历”。
