Passage B
In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon (动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said “Stop! That's our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat (水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy (贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews (侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930S,' 40s and '50s Donald and hid friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.

Passage C
The men remained attached to friends and spoke of missing them, but they did not necessarily keep in close touch. They assumed that when they returned, things would be as they always had been. They called their families every other week or so, but a fair amount of that was “checking in” (打招呼). They talked about what they were doing
more than about how they were feeling, and were interested in how things were at home but didn’t ask a lot of question. As for new relationships, the men were interested in finding “a buddy (伙伴)” much more than an emotional confidant(知己).
For the women, staying connected with families and friends played a central role in their lives away from home. Some talked about writing long letters to friends to share their experiences and sometimes to work out misunderstandings. They knew the relationships they wanted, ones in which they could be open, express even painful feelings and encourage discussion and reflection.

他们以为当他们再回来,问题就一直以来他们。

他们称他们的家庭每隔一周左右的时间里,但相当数量的的“检查”(打招呼)。

Passage D
There are more than 100 million cars in the United States. A normal car gets less than 15 miles from each gallon of gas. It travels about 10,000 miles each year. In that time, it uses about 650 gallons of gas. In all, autos use up some 70 billion gallons of gas a year. That comes out to be four-and-a-half million barrels a day.
The importance of saving gas, then, cannot be stressed too much. Let’s say, for instance, that the fuel used by each car could be cut back just 15 percent. This could be
done by making fewer trips each day. It could be done through better driving habits. If it were done, out nation’s use of fuel would fall by close to two-thirds of a million barrels per day.
We can all help to save gas. One way is to ride the buses. Some of us could walk to work. We could ride mopeds (机动脚踏两用车) or bikes. Another way is to share a ride. We could join carpools (合伙使用汽车). About one-third of all cars are used for going to and from work.
Go shopping with a friend from time to time. If two people use a car instead of one, we all save. Driving streets would be less, too, with fewer cars on the road. The savings on gas around the nation would come to more than one half million barrels a day.
Another way to save is by cutting our useless trips. Can you find one car trip per week that could be handled by telephone? Can you combine trips? If each car took one less 10-mile trip a week we could save three-and-a-half billion gallons of gas a year. This comes to nearly 5 percent of the total passenger car demand for gas.
The way people drive decides how much fuel they save. Careful drivers may get 20 percent more miles per gallon than normal drivers. They could get 50 percent more miles per gallon than wasteful drivers. Careful drivers obey the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit. They get to their desired speed quickly and keep a steady pace.
If just one gallon of gas were saved each week for each car in the country, we could all save about five-and-a-half billion gallons a year.
有超过100万辆汽车在美国。

一般车子得到不到15英里,从一加仑汽油。

它在每年大约10000英里。

在那时候,它使用约650加仑的汽油。

在所有的、汽车消耗约有70亿加仑的汽油一年。

是四年来万桶一天。

节约的重要性气体,然后,不能被过分强调。

比方说,例如,由各所用燃料的车可以会减少只有15%的人。

这可能是由才能少犯旅行每一天。

它可能是用更好的驾驶习惯。

如果其进行国家使用,燃料将下降接近三分之二的100万桶每天。

我们都能帮助为节省汽油。

一种方法是坐公共汽车。

我们中的一些人可以走路去上班。

我们可以骑自行车(机动脚踏两用车)或自行车。

另一种方法是同车而行。

我们可以加入车辆(合伙使用汽车)。

大约有三分之一的汽车是用于上下班。

和一个朋友去买东西。

如果两个人使用汽车而不是一个,我们都保存。

驾驶街道,也会更少用更少的道路上的车辆。

储蓄在全国范围内的气体会一半以上的万桶一天。

另一种方法来救回的是通过降低我们的无用的旅行。

你能找到一个每周的汽车旅行,可以由电话吗?你能把旅行?如果每一辆赛车,少了10英里的旅行一个星期,我们可以挽救三个半亿加仑的汽油一年。

这是近5%的总客车天然气需求。

人们开车决定多少他们节省燃料。

仔细的司机可能会增加20%比正常英里/加仑的司机。

他们能得到百分之五十的每加仑行驶英里数比浪费的司机。

仔细的司机听从55-mile-per-hour速度限制。

它们也可以预期的速度快,保持稳定的速度前进。

这一加仑石油每周获救,为每辆汽车在乡下,我们都可以节省约从未亿加仑
