The salesgirl gave him a casual greeting and then pointed to the category he was looking for. Max casted a loofj b that way; there they were, all the latest books from the catalog. He then asked the girl to get all of them but was told they were on exhibition only and not for sale. "What do you mean by 'not for sale'? It's a bookstore and you need to cash in on selling books, don't you, or do you have trouble cashing my checks?" Max shouted angrily, "Read my lips, I said 'not for sale.' They're cataloged unavailable," the girl said. At this, Max rushed out, but quickly came back, this time with an axe in one hand. The cashier screamed and cast off the cash from hem her hands, but Max cast her out of the bookstore and went straight to the books. He cast aside the cassettes on the next carrier and took the books in a cautious way. The police received a call and arrived at the bookstore soon after.

胡敏读故事记单词文本大学英语四级词汇初中高中新gre核心（A字头10篇）abandon ~ accentAt times I like to abandon my ability to speak and write in an academic way, which my friends call an abuse of language. When I am about to go aboard a plane to go abroad, I often still think about this. At these times I am so absent-minded that I almost miss the call for "all aboard". In another every word. Instead, I aim for clear and simple communication to help others absorb what I am saying. This is not easy since I like to abuse language and always try to use the full range of language to the best of my ability. However, I think that one can abandon oneself to new experiences when overseas without treating one's training with abandon. It has also been suggested that I get rid of my strong accent, and my absence from my country might accelerate this change. In the meantime, I'll think of ways to use Band 4 words, in concrete ways, rather than in the abstract. Readers can then abstract what suits them best, from the book, towards developing absolute faith in their ability to master English.有时候我希望放弃用学术语言说话和写作的能力，我的朋友说这是对语言的滥用。

A complicated composition"This piece is filled with more complication than I could ever h ave conceived of composing." Said the composer to the newspaper journ alist. "You see, the song is comprised of a variety of separate eleme nts that are concealed within the song.

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。

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.

胡敏读故事记单词_考研英语词汇教学提纲
胡敏读故事记单词_考研英语词汇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. All of 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 life 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 adores 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 muttered 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 sulking, 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 somewhatold-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 groupof 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 wagging 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 good 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 ancestors were 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 madeeach 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 crew for 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 I assure 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 makethe 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 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.81. The Missing CatChristina and Patrick baker stood outside their empty house. They watched the moving company work, packing the last cardboard boxes in the large truck. They were ready 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 hadwound 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 a photo 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!。

Itll still my favorite time of year. Although China doesnt adopted this special holiday, theres still hope. With the advent of Chinas membership in the WTO, Chinese will be exposed to a number of Western holidays. I guess is that they will adore Christmas.My strong affinity for Chritmas comes from my childhood days. In my hometown, we would prepare for Christmas by buying a big Christmas tree. If we feeling a big more adventurous, we would hike up the mountain and find one on our own. Adorning11 the tree is the next step. Wed use all kinds of adornment to decorate the tree, from pinecones and candy coated angels to colourful Christmas balls and fake icicles. My dad was specially12 adroit at making small hand-painted ornaments13. Since my dads company was affiliated14 with a light bulb company, he was also able to bring home the most beautiful and colourful Christmas lights.After decorating the tree, we would make small Gingerbread houses out of bread and candy. These houses were aesthetic but not edible15. Itwas always advisable to keep these appetizing houses out of reach of young children.There is no adversity on Christmas day. Even the soldiers are adverse to fighting.Everyone is affable. Lover are specially affectionate and they ofter show their affection by giving each other romantic gifts. Children usually receive toys as gifts. But my most memorable16 gift was not a toy. It was an aquarium17, complete with an air pump to aerate the water. Raising all those fish was such an adventure for me.What is my favorite holiday? All of these wonderful thoughts lead me to affirm that Christmas is without doubt the best time of year.我是圣诞节庆祝活动的坚决拥护者，一年中我最喜爱的日子仍是圣诞节。
胡敏读故事记单词-托福TOEFL
胡敏读故事记单词（托福词汇）1. Having faith信任(Abandon-abrupt)You can call me A.J., which is an abbreviation of my full name, Alexander Justice. I like to abbreviate my name because it’s easier for people to remember. I work for a museum that collects aboriginal artifacts.I would like to tell you why I have an abiding faith in the legal system. The story you’re about to read has been abridged to reduce its length.I used to live in an area where criminals abounded and where the legal system seemed powerless. One day, my daughter was abducted. Although I abided by the kidnapper’s monetary demands, they refused to release her. I had no choice but to put my faith in the legal authorities. The Police responded immediately and searched the area. Despite their lack of success, they refused to abandon their search or to call an abort to their mission. They knew any abortive action would surely result in my daughter’s death.The investigation eventually led the police to conduct an abrupt search at the home of a local official who was abashed when he learned of the search. My daughter was found in his basement. She had abrasions to her wrists where the abrasive rope had scraped her. The official was arrested along with his bodyguard who abetted him in the kidnapping.The official was forced to abdicate his position and was sent to prison for life. The judge told him that he was lucky that capital punishment had been abolished and that it was only due to this abolition that he would not be executed. The swift apprehension and strict punishment of these criminals helped to abate my lack of faith in the legal system. These days, I truly believe in “justice”, and it’s not just because of my name!abandon vt. 抛弃;放弃n. 放纵,沉溺于abash vt. 使羞愧abate v.（数量,程度等）减少,减轻,缓解abbreviate vt. 1,缩短2,缩写abbreviation n.缩写,缩写词abdicate v.1,让位,辞职2,放弃（权利或责任）abduct vt.绑架,拐走abet vt.帮助;教唆,唆使;煽动,怂恿abide vi. 遵守vt.忍受abiding adj. 持久的abolish vt. 废除,取消abolition n. 废除,革除aboriginal adj.土著的,原来的,土著居民的abort n.中止计划(任务)abortive adj.失败的,无结果的abound vi.充满;富于abrasion n.表面磨损abrasive adj.研磨的abridge v.缩短,删节abrupt adj.突然的，意外的2. Love of numbers热爱数字absenteeism-accessAs an academician, I think Mathematics is an intriguing and absorbing science. However, many of my students consider it an abstract science and they hate it because the equations are too difficult to absorb and to remember. I think my students would laugh if they knew how I became so interested in Math.When I was a freshman in college, I also believed Math was a mere abstraction. Studying it was like falling into a spinning abyss of numbers and symbols. Just thinking about it seemed like an abuse of my brain. However, my entire tuition was financed by an academic scholarship, so I had to maintain high marks in all of my classes, including Math.My most abstruse class was Advanced Calculus Mathematics. It was taught in a large lecture hall which abutted the North access gate of the University. Unlike the many absentees in my class who often abstained from attending the boring lectures, I dared not absolve myself from this responsibility. Any degree of absenteeism would probably cause me to fail Math and to lose my scholarship. I was so afraid of failing that I even pledged abstinence from my abundant supply of alcohol.It wasn’t until the fourth week of Math class that I met the wonderful person who would accelerate my interest and understanding of this absurd subject. She was a foreign exchange student from Beijing. She was also a brilliant mathematician. She would come to class everyday in a colorful silk scarf that accentuated her lovely smile.It was so nice to meet someone from my home country. She inspired me to love Math. Although we now live and teach in different countries, I still see her smiling face between every number I write!absenteeism n. 旷课，旷工absentee n.缺席者absolve v.1,(宗教上的)宽恕2,赦免(罪行,过失等),解除(责任等) absorb vt.1、吸收（液体,知识等）2、理解,掌握absorbing adj.吸引人的，引人入胜的abstain v.自制,自动放弃,戒绝,有意回避abstinence n. 自制,节制（禁欲,戒酒）abstract n.1、抽象的2、难解的,深奥的abstraction n.抽象（概念）abstruse adj.难懂的,深奥的absurd adj.荒谬的,可笑的abundant adj.丰富的,充裕的;大量的abuse n.（权利等的）滥用；（物品的）不精心使用abut vi.邻接,毗邻abyss n.深渊,深坑academic adj.学术的;学院的;理论的academician n.学会会员;院士;学者accelerate v.1、加快,加速2、促进,促使…早日发生accentuate v.突出,强调access n.1、接触,接近（的机会）2、入口,通道3. A writer’s method一位作家的法子accessible-accumulateFor the last ten years, I have written novels for a living. Through my work, I have been able to accumulate a fair amount of wealth. I have been lucky because many of my books have received acclaim from literary critics.My latest accomplishment is a mystery novel. It is a fictional account of how a clever and accomplished thief, posing as an accountant, gains access to the computer system of a large bank. Having extensive knowledge of accounting, he and a woman accomplice use the bank’s computer system to accomplish the biggest theft in history.To be a good writer, I think you must find a quiet environment where you can think, preferably one with limited accessibility. Some of my most acclaimed work was written at an isolated island hotel off the coast of China. I highly recommend this place.The island is accessible only by boat and the hotel is accredited by the Asian Resort Association as a five-star accommodation. Upon arrival, the manager will accompany you to your room and show you how everything works. The staff is trained to accommodate your every need. Any errors in service are purely accidental. The security is excellent and there’s little chance of being accosted by strangers. Each room has a balcony with a view of the ocean. On the balcony you will find a large leather chair and a sturdy writing desk. The bathroom is very modern and contains many unique accessories. The most useful bathtub accessory is their mini-desk, which allows you to write while soaking in a tub of hot water.To continue being a good writer, you must find a way to relax your mind after a long day of writing. What’ my secret method of relaxation?

The accused被告accusation-adamantBob is an excellent trial lawyer with a superior legal acumen. Unlike many other lawyers that need to use acronyms to remember certain legal principles, Bob simply uses his photographic memory. What makes Bob even more special is his acute sense for reading people’s emotions, especially those of jurors.Due to his reputation, he is able to acquire the most interesting cases. His jealous competitors often accuse him of being too acquisitive and of taking away their business. But I respect Bob for his many achievements. I remember the first trial he ever did.Bob was hired by an acquaintance named Jim to defend him against a criminal charge. Jim was accused of intentionally throwing acid on another man’s arm in a laboratory where they were both activating chemicals. Jim was adamant that the accusation was false. He claimed it was an accident that occurred during an argument. Being a contract lawyer, Bob was not accustomed to handling trials in front of a jury. However, he agreed to the acquisition of Jim’s case because he strongly believed in Jim’s innocence. The thought of an innocent man being convicted of a crime he didn’t commit actuated Bob’s hidden trial skills.At the trial, Bob proved that the other man caused his own injury by pushing Jim while Jim was working with dangerous chemicals. Bobalso proved that the man’s claim of an acute injury was false. The actual injury was minor. Bob asked the jury to acquit Jim of all criminal charges. Amazingly, Bob achieved an acquittal for Jim.I’ll never forget what Bob did for Jim, because I was there. I am Jim. In fact, I still remember the adage Bob used to explain why he took my case for free. He said, “In doing, we learn.”accusation n. 谴责，控告accuse vt. 指责，归咎accustomed adj. 习惯了的achieve vt. 完成，实现；赢得achievement n. 成就，功绩acid n. 酸adj. 尖酸的，刻薄的acquaintance n. 熟人acquire vt. 获得，学到acquisition n. 获得；收购；接受acquisitive adj. 想获得的，贪得无厌的acquit v. 宣告无罪acquittal n. 宣判无罪acronym n. 用大写字母表示的缩写词activate vt. 刺激，使激活actual adj. 实际的，现行的actuate vt. 开动，促使acumen n. 敏锐，聪明，才智acute adj. 灵敏的，敏锐的；（事情）剧烈的，严重的adage n. 格言，谚语adamant adj. 固执的，坚定不移的5. Adaptation is the key适应是关键adapt-adobeI must admit, I didn’t like Tom in the beginning. He lived in the house that was adjacent to mine, and I knew he was addicted to painkillers. He had injured his back while building adobe houses in the countryside for the local government administration. The painkillers numbed his back pain and allowed him to continue performing his heavy construction work. However, it wasn’t long before he got caught for failing to adhere to the drug laws.I still recall what the judge told him shortly before he adjourned the court. “You’ll either have to adapt to a life without drugs or adjust to living in the prison that adjoins this courthouse.”I was admittedly upset when the judge asked me to help administer Tom’s probation. I felt that the judge was making me an unwilling and unnecessary adjunct to the court system. But I had no choice. I thought to myself, “Adaptation is the key.” So I changed my attitude towards Tom and I soon learned that Tom was just as adaptable.Tom heeded the judge’s warning. He quit his construction job and stopped using painkillers. He put all of his time and effort into inventing a new adhesive for constructing brick houses. His dedication was admirable. He became quite adept at chemistry and before long, he discovered a key additive that made his glue superior to all other adhesives.Now, I greatly admire Tom and he has become a good friend. I guess adaptation really is the key!adapt v. (使）适应，调整；改编adaptable adj. 能适应的，适应性强的adaptation n. 改编，改写；适应环境addict vt. 使沉溺，使上瘾addictive adj. 加法的；n. 添加剂adept adj. 熟练的，擅长的，拿手的，有一手的adhere vi. 黏附，粘牢；追随，坚持，遵守adhesive n. 粘着物；adj. 粘着的adjacent adj. 接近的，毗连的，临近的adjoin vt. 相邻，毗邻adjourn v. 延期，休会adjunct n. 附件，附属，附庸adjust vt. 调整，使适应于administer vt. 管理administration n. 管理，经营；当局，政府admirable adj. 值得称赞的，令人钦佩的admire vt. 钦佩，崇拜；欣赏admit vt. 准许进入；承认admittedly adv. 公认地；诚然地，无可否认地adobe n. 泥砖，土坯房6. Christmas圣诞节adopt-affirmI’m a big advocate of Christmas celebrations. It’s still my favorite time of year. Although China hasn’t adopted this special holiday, there’s still hope. With the advent of China’s membership in the WTO, Chinese people will be exposed to a number of Western holidays. My guess is that they will adore Christmas.My strong affinity for Christmas comes from my childhood days. In my hometown, we would prepare for Christmas by buying a big Christmas tree. If we were feeling bit more adventurous, we would hike up the mountain and find one on our own. Adorning the tree is the next step. We’d use all kinds of adornment to decorate the tree, from pinecones and candy coated angels to colorful Christmas balls and fake icicles. My dad was especially adroit at making small hand-painted ornaments. Since my dad’s company was affiliated with a light bulb company, he was also able to bring home the most beautiful and colorful Christmas lights.After decorating the tree, we would make small Gingerbread houses out of bread and candy. These houses were aesthetic but not edible. It was always advisable to keep these appetizing houses out of reach of young children.There’s no adversity on Christmas day. Even the soldiers are adverse to fighting. Everyone is affable. Lovers are especially affectionate and they often show their affection by giving each other romantic gifts. Children usually receive toys as gifts. But my most memorable gift was not a toy. It was an aquarium, complete with an air pump to aerate the water. Raising all those fish was such an adventure for me.What is my favorite holiday? All of these wonderful thoughts lead me to affirm that Christmas is without doubt the best time of year.adopt vt. 采用，采纳；收养adore v. 崇拜，崇敬；极喜爱adorn vt. 装adornment n. 装饰，装饰品adroit adj. 熟练的，灵巧的advent n.

Another day, another dollar多上一天班，就多挣一美元afflict-alienateLife as a newspaper reporter can be aggravating. Every morning at 5:00 a.m., there’s a staff meeting where the managing editor goes through his agenda for the day. He’s not at all agreeable in the morning. In fact, he’s akin to a grouchy bear. Oh dose he love to agitate us! I drink coffee to calm my nerves but sometimes it just aggravates my stomach.“Jim, you’ll be covering the recent acts of aggression in the middle east. We can’t afford to ignore this important development. You need to be airborne and on your way to the Middle East within the hour.”“Jane, come in here, you’re late. Don’t leave the door ajar, this is a private meeting. I need you to get a copy of that new alien alert from the Immigration Department. The aggregate number of aliens in this country is growing, but it seems to me that such an alert will only serve to alienate our own minority groups.”“Sam, you’re the most agile of us all. Use your agility to catch up with the world-class runners who are in town for the marathon. Come on Sam, don’t agonize over your assignment, just do it.”“Mary, the children in Central Africa are afflicted with an unknown disease. It’s not just an ailment. It’s something far more serious. Hey, stop looking so aghast, you don’t need to go there. Just find out the source of the affliction and write a report on it by this afternoon. By the way, I think you should quit drinking coffee, it does nothing to calm your nerves!”On well, I guess I better get going. Can I afford to quit this wonderful job?

Funny things happen趣事环生alignment-alumnusYesterday, I decided to get my pants altered. I had $200 in my wallet, which was more than enough for the alteration. Foolishly however,I got lost taking an alternate route to the tailor shop. Fortunately, I had aspirin to alleviate my headache.Walking further, I noticed a red balloon aloft, rising to a higher altitude. It distracted me, causing me to bump into two young brothers. They looked alike but seemed opposite in personality. One was clearly aloof but the other appeared to be an altruistic individual. He could sense I was lost and happily gave me directions. Such altruism is so rare these days. What an ally he can be to a lost person! The contrast in their personalities reminded me of the biblical allegory of Cain and Abel. But it would be too hasty to allege such a contrast given that I didn’t really know them.I continued on my way but was allured into a bike shop by a window photo of a lovely girl on a mountain bike. Below the photo, it said, “ride rough, ride real,” a clever alliteration. I felt there was no alternative but to enter the shop.The owner was an alumnus from my university. He alluded that the best bike for me would be the $200 bike that was displayed in the window photo. It was made out of a special lightweight alloy. He also offered to adjust my tire alignment for free.Well, I didn’t make it to the tailor that day. But I did ride home on a new bike. As for my pants? Well, the bike shop owner cut the pant legs off for free. Now I have a cool pair of shorts for riding!alignment n. 成一条直线；直线排列；队列；联合，联盟alike adj. 相同的，相似的allege v. 宣称，主张，断言allegory n. 寓言alleviate v. 缓和，减轻alliteration n. 头韵alloy n. 合金；vt. 使成合金allude v. 间接提到，暗指allure v. 引诱n. 诱惑，吸引ally n. 联盟，同盟者aloft adv. 在高处；在空中aloof adj. 远离的，冷淡的，漠不关心的alter vt. 改变，修改alteration n. 变更，改造alternate adj. 交替的，轮流的；替代的，另选的；vi. 轮流，交替alternative adj. （两种或以上的东西中）另一可选的，另外的；n. 可选事物，另一选择altitude n.

Let me start by saying, I think the merger is a good idea. If we amalgamate our two small businesses, we can create a more powerful one. With our increased size and financial power, we can amass new investors and raise ample funds to renovate the old hotel. We can attract more guests by adding amenities, like a swimming pool, and planting more greenery to create a peaceful ambience. To make it even more special, we can build a special walkway that will allow people to amble amid the trees. The results of our ambitious project will amaze the community.After we finish the renovations, we can take photos and post them on our Internet site. My brother is an amateur photographer and a very amenable individual. I’m sure he won’t charge us for taking photos, as long as we keep the amount of photos down to a reasonable number.Then, before opening the new hotel, we’ll need to hire and train a new staff of amicable people. We don’t want anyone who is ambivalent towards the concept of “personal service.” Such ambivalence is bad for business. We want people who are hardworking and amiable. We’ll also need a manager who has enough ambition to keep the hotel running efficiently.Okay. For those of you suffering from temporary amnesia, recall that we must vote to amend the company’s by-laws before we can initiate the merger of our two companies. So let’s vote. Everyone in favor of the amendment, say “aye!”amalgamate v. 混合，合并amass vt. 收集，积聚amateur adj. 业余的n. 业余爱好者amaze vt. 使吃惊，使惊叹ambience n. 周围环境，气氛ambition n. 雄心，抱负ambitious adj. 有雄心的，渴望成功的ambivalence n. 矛盾心理ambivalent adj. 有矛盾情绪的amble vi. 漫步，缓行amenable adj. 经得起检验的；顺从，应服从的amend vt. 修正，改正amendment n. 修正，改正amenity n. amenities (常做复数）生活福利设施，文娱康乐场所，方便设施amenity （不可数名词），愉快，惬意amiable adj. 亲切的，和蔼可亲的amicable adj. 友善的，和平的，和睦的amid prep. 在。

I thought this kid was going to get penalized by the cops for sure since he was swinging back and forth like a pendulum. Well, I couldn't peel my eyes off this kid when I crashed into one of our patrons. Her pearls went flying everywhere like pebbles over the road that had recently been paved. As I got up off the road I paved the way through the crowd to retrieve her pearls.When I heard a funny peep I looked up to see that the kid was a penguin!! How I missed that, I'll neverknow, but I'm sure the other messenger boy will peg away atme untill they take me off the payroll or something. Anyhow, the penguinpecked meon the cheek like a kiss and then sat down on my bag like he was patronizing mefrom the top of some perch. I'm not one to hold grudges so I reached into my bagand pulled out some peanuts. As I peeled open the bag someone threw a couple coins down into my hat, which I had dropped. They must have thought I waspeddling the penguin for money!Well, right then and there I reached down, picked up that money and pegged the person in the back of his head. He turned around and started chasing me. Naturally I ran and now my case in court is still pending.But I never found out what happened to that penguin. I hope he made it back to his home on some ocean peninsula. I wouldn't want him hanging around the city much longer. He sure got me into trouble!企鹅＝麻烦那天我正在街上骑车，突然有个样子古怪的行人从我面前穿过马路。
