7. Why was it amazing that Ashrita came third in the bicycle marathon in 1978?
He had done no training.
8. Why did Ashrita believe he could accomplish anything after the bicycle marathon?
He believed that because he had done no training, it must have been his spirit that made him come third, and so after the bicycle marathon he believed that he could accomplish anything by using his spirit, and his body was just an instrument of the spirit. He believed there is no physical limitation.

选修9 Unit 1 Breaking records-Reading"THE ROAD IS ALWAYS AHEAD OF YOU"Ashrita Furman is a sportsman who likes the challenge of breaking Guinness records. Over the last 25 years, he has broken approximately 93 Guinness records. More than twenty of these he still holds, including the record for having the most records. But these records are not made in any conventional sport like swimming or soccer. Rather Ashrita attempts to break records in very imaginative events and in very interesting places.Recently, Ashrita achieved his dream of breaking a record in all seven continents, including hula hooping in Australia, pogo stick jumping under water in South America, and performing deep knee bends in a hot air balloon in North America.While these activities might seem childish and cause laughter rather than respect, in reality they require an enormous amount of strength and fitness as well as determination.Think about the fine neck adjustments needed to keep a full bottle of milk on your head while you are walking. You can stop to rest or eat but the bottle has to stay on your head.While Ashrita makes standing on top of a 75 cm Swiss ball look easy, it is not. It takes a lot of concentration and a great sense of balance to stay on it. You have to struggle to stay on top especially when your legs start shaking.And what about somersaulting along a road for 12 miles? Somersaulting is a tough event as you have to overcome dizziness, extreme tiredness and pain. You are permitted to rest for only five minutes in every hour of rolling but you are allowed to stop briefly to vomit.Covering a mile in the fastest time while doing gymnastically correct lunges is yet another event in which Ashrita is outstanding. Lunges are extremely hard on your legs. You start by standing and then you step forward with the fight foot while touching the left knee to the ground. Then you stand up again and step forward with the left foot while touching the fight knee to the ground. Imagine doing this for a mile!Yet this talented sportsman is not a natural athlete. As a child he was very unfit and was not at all interested in sports. However, he was fascinated by the Guinness Book of World Records.How Ashrita came to be a sportsman is an interesting story. As a teenager, he began searching for a deeper meaning in life. He studied Eastern religions and, aged 16, discovered an Indian meditation teacher called Sri Chinmoy who lived in his neighbourhood in New York City. Since that time in the early 1970s, Ashrita has been one of Sri Chinmoy's students. Sri Chinmoy says that it is just as important for people to develop their bodies as it is to develop their minds, hearts and spiritual selves. He believes that there is no limit to people's physical abilities.When Ashrita came third in a 24-hour bicycle marathon in New York's Central Park in 1978, he knew that he would one day get into the Guinness Book of World Records. He had been urged by his spiritual leader to enter the marathon even though he had done no training. So, when he won third place, he came to the understanding that his body was just an instrument of the spirit and that he seemed to be able to use his spirit to accomplish anything. From then on, Ashrita refused to accept any physical limitation.With this new confidence, Asharita broke his first Guinness record with 27,000 jumping jacks in 1979. The motivation to keep trying to break records comes through his devotion to Sri Chinmoy. Every time Ashrita tries to break a record, he reaches a point where he feels he cannot physically do any more. At that moment, he goes deep within himself and connects with his soul and his teacher.Ashrita always acknowledges his teacher in his record-breaking attempts.In fact, he often wears a T-shirt with Sri Chinmoy's words on the back. The words are:"There is only one perfect road. It is ahead of you, always ahead of you."FOCUS ON ...Lance ArmstrongDate of Birth: 8th September, 1971Country: USALance Armstrong's Guinness record for the fastest average speed at the Tour de France was set in 1999 with an average speed of 40.27 km/hr. In his teens he was a triathlete but at 16 he began to concentrate on cycling. He was an amateur cyclist before the 1992 Olympic Games but turned professional after he had competed in the Games. In the following few years, he won numerous titles, and by 1996 he had become the world's number one. However, in October 1996, he discovered he had cancer and had to leave cycling. Successfully fighting his illness, Armstrong officially returned to racing in 1998. In 1999 he won the Tour de France and in 2003 he achieved his goal of winning five Tours de France.Michellie JonesDate of Birth: 9th June, 1969Country: AustraliaIn 1988 Michellie Jones helped establish the multi-sport event, the triathlon, in Australia. After completing her teaching qualifications in 1990, she concentrated on the triathlon. In 1991, she finished third at the world championships. In 1992 and 1993, she was the International Triathlon Union World Champion. Since then, she has never finished lower than fourth in any of the world championships she has competed in. At the Sydney Olympics in 2000 she won the silver medal in the Women's Triathlon, the first time the event had been included in the Olympic Games. Recently, for the first time in 15 years, Jones was not selected as part of the national team and therefore did not compete in the 2004 Olympics in Athens.Fu MingxiaDate of Birth: 16th August, 1978Country: ChinaFu Mingxia first stood on top of the 10-metre diving platform at the age of nine. At 12 years old she won a Guinness Record when she became the youngest female to win the women's world title for platform diving at the World Championships in Australia in 1991. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, she took the gold medal in the women's 10-metre platform, becoming the youngest Olympic diving champion of all time. This was followed by great success at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games where she won gold for both the 10-metre platform and the three-metre springboard. This made her the first woman in Olympic diving history to win three gold medals. She retired from diving after Atlanta and went to study economics at university. While there she decided to make a comeback and went on to compete at the Sydney Olympic Games, where she won her fourth Olympic gold, again making Olympic history.Martin StrelDate of Birth: 1st October, 1954Country: SloveniaStrel was trained as a guitarist before he became a professional marathon swimmer in 1978. He has a passion for swimming the world's great rivers. In 2000, he was the first person ever to swim the entire length of the Danube River in Europe - a distance of 3,004 kilometres in 58 days. For this, he attained his first entry in the Guinness Book of World Records. Then in 2001 he broke the Guinness record for non-stop swimming - 504.5 kilometres in the Danube River in 84 hours and 10 minutes. Martin won his third entry in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2002 when he beat his own record for long distance swimming by swimming the length of the Mississippi River in North America in 68 days, a total of 3,797 kilometres. Then in 2003 he became the first man to have swum the whole 1,929 kilometres of the difficult Parana River in South America.In 2004, Strel again broke his own Guinness record by swimming the length of the dangerous Changjiang River (4,600 km), the third longest fiver in the world.选修9 Unit 2 Sailing the oceans-ReadingSRILING THE OCERNSWe may well wonder how seamen explored the oceans before latitude and longitude made it possible to plot a ship's position on a map. The voyages of travellers before the 17th century show that they were not at the mercy of the sea even though they did not have modern navigational aids. So how did they navigate so well? Read these pages from an encyclopedia.Page 1:Using nature to help Keeping alongside the coastlineThis seems to have been the first and most useful form of exploration which carried the minimum amount of risk.Using celestial bodiesNorth StarAt the North Pole the North Star is at its highest position in the sky, but at the equator it is along the horizon. So accomplished navigators were able to use it to plot their positions.SunOn a clear day especially during the summer the sailors could use the sun overhead at midday to navigate by. They can use the height of the sun to work out their latitude.CloudsSea captains observed the clouds over islands. There is a special cloud formation which indicates there is land close by.Using wildlifeSeaweedSailors often saw seaweed in the sea and could tell by the colour and smell how long it had been them. If it was fresh and smelled strongly,then the ship was close to land.BirdsSea birds could be used to show the way to land when it was nowhere to be seen. In the evening nesting birds return to land and their nests. So seamen could follow the birds to land even if they were offshore and in the open sea.Using the weatherFogFog gathers at sea as well as over streams or rivers. Seamen used it to help identify the position of a stream or river when they were close to land.WindsWise seamen used the winds to direct their sailing. They could accelerate the speed, but they could also be dangerous. So the Vikings would observe the winds before and during their outward or return journeys.Using the seaCertain tides and currents could be used by skillful sailors to carry ships to their destination.These skills helped sailors explore the seas and discover new lands. They increased their ability to navigate new seas when they used instruments.Page 2:Using navigational instruments to helpFinding longitudeThere was no secure method of measuring longitude until the 17th century when the British solved this theoretical problem. Nobody knew that the earth moved westwards 15 degrees every hour, but sailors did know an approximate method of calculating longitude using speed and time. An early method of measuring speed involved throwing a knotted rope tied to a log over the side of the ship. The rope was tied to a log which was then thrown into the sea. As the ship advanced through the water the knots were counted as they passed through a seaman's hands. The number of knots that were counted during a fixed period of time gave the speed of the ship in nautical miles per hour.Later, when seamen began to use the compass in the 12th century they could calculate longitude using complicated mathematical tables. The compass has a special magnetic pointer which always indicates the North Pole, so it is used to help find the direction that the ship needs to go. In this way the ship could set a straight course even in the middle of the ocean.Finding latitudeThe Bearing CircleIt was the first instrument to measure the sun's position. A seaman would measure the sun's shadow and compare it with the height of the sun at midday. Then he could tell if he was sailing on his correct rather than a random course.A Bearing CircleThe AstrolabeThe astrolabe, quadrant and sextant are all connected. They are developments of one another. The earliest, the astrolabe, was a special all-in-one tool for telling the position of the ship in relation to the sun and various stars which covered the whole sky. This gave the seamen the local time and allowed them to find their latitude at sea. However, it was awkward to use as one of the points of reference was the moving ship itself.The QuadrantThis was a more precise and simplified version of the astrolabe. It measured how high stars were above the horizon using a quarter circle rather than the full circle of the astrolabe.It was easier to handle because it was more portable. Its shortcoming was that it still used the moving ship as one of the fixed points of reference. As the ship rose and plunged in the waves, it was extremely difficult to be accurate with any reading.The sextantThe sextant was the updated version of the astrolabe and quadrant which reduced the tendency to make mistakes. It proved to be the most accurate and reliable of these early navigational instruments. It works by measuring the angle between two fixed objects outside the ship using two mirrors. This made the calculations more precise and easier to do.THE GREATEST NA VIGATIONAL JOURNEY:A LESSON IN SURVIV ALI am proud to have sailed with Captain Bligh on his journey of over 40 days through about 4,000miles in an open boat across the Pacific Ocean in 1789. Our outward voyage in the "Bounty" to Tahiti had been filled with the kind of incidents that I thought would be my stories when I returned home. But how wrong I was! On our departure from Tahiti, some of the crew took over the ship.They deposited the captain into a small boat to let him find his own way home. But who else was to go with him? Those of us on board the "Bounty" were caught in a dilemma. Was it better to risk certain death by sitting close together on a small, crowded open boat with very little food and water? Or should one stay on the "Bounty" with the crew and face certain death from the British Navy if caught? The drawback of staying on the ship seemed to grow as I thought about how wrong it was to treat Captain Bligh in this way. So I joined him in the small boat. As dusk fell, we seemed to face an uncertain future. We had no charts and the only instruments the captain was allowed to take with him were a compass and a quadrant.Once we were at sea, our routine every day was the same. At sunrise and sunset the captain measured our position using the quadrant and set the course using the compass. It was extremely difficult for us to get a correct reading from the quadrant as the boat moved constantly. The captain used a system called "dead reckoning". He knew there was land directly northwest of our original position. So his task was to make sure we stayed on that course. As you can see from the map wekept to a straight course pretty well. In addition, the captain kept us all busy reading the tables to work out our position. Although this took a great deal of time, it didn't matter. Time was, after all, what we had a lot of!Our daily food was shared equally among us all: one piece of bread and one cup of water. It was starvation quantities but the extreme lack of water was the hardest to cope with psychologically. Imagine all that water around you, but none of it was safe to drink because the salt in it would drive you mad! All the time the captain tried to preserve our good spirits by telling stories and talking hopefully about what we would do when we got back to England. We only half believed him.The tension in the boat got worse as the supply of food and water gradually disappeared. We could foresee that we would die if we could not reach land very soon and we sank gradually into a sleepy, half-alive state. The captain was as weak as the rest of us, but he was determined not to give up. He continued his navigational measurements every day. He kept us busy and tried to take our minds off our stomachs and our thirst. He kept us alive.You could not imagine a more disturbing sight than what we looked like when arriving in Timor over forty days after being set loose in our small boat. Our clothes were torn, we had fever and our faces showed the hardships we had suffered. But after a rest, some good meals and some new clothes, everything changed. We couldn't stop talking about our voyage and everybody wanted to hear about it. We were the heroes who had escaped the jaws of death by completing the greatest navigational feat of all time!选修9 Unit 3 Australia-ReadingGLIMPSES OF AUSTRALIAAUSTRALIACapital: Canberra Offcial name: Commonwealth of AustraliaArea: 7,686,850 km2 Population: 20 millionHighest point: Mount Kosciuszko, 2,228 metres above sea levelLowest point: Lake Eyre, 15 metres below sea levelAustralia is the only country that is also a continent. It is the sixth largest country in the world and is in the smallest continent - Oceania. It is a mainly dry country with only a few coastal areas that have adequate rainfall to support a large population. Approximately 80 of Australians live in the south-eastern coastal area, which includes Australia's two largest cities – Melbourne and Sydney. The centre of the continent, which is mainly desert and dry grassland, has few settlements.Australia is famous for its huge, open spaces, bright sunshine, enormous number of sheep and cattle and its unusual wildlife, which include kangaroos and koalas. Australia is a popular destination with tourists from all over the world who come to experience its unique ecology.Australia is made up of six states. Like the states in America, Australian states are autonomous in some areas of government. However, Australia has a federal government responsible for matters that affect people all over the country, such as defence, foreign policy and taxation. The federal parliament is located in Canberra.CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES PLANNED AROUND AUSTRALIAOn 26 January, Australia Day, in over 200 locations across the nation , more than 9,000 people will become Australian citizens."By these citizenship ceremonies we welcome those who have come from overseas from many different cultural and social backgrounds into our communities and our nation," said the Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs. "Australia Day celebrations that include people from so many birthplaces are an excellent way to encourage tolerance, respect and friendship among all the people of Australia."Most citizenship ceremonies will be followed by displays of singing and dancing from manyof the migrants' homelands and the tasting of food from all over the world.Go by plane and see cloudsGo by TRAIN and see AustraliaEnjoy 3 nights on board the Indian-PacificOn this 4,352-km journey from Sydney to Perth via Adelaide you'll view some ot Australias unique scenery from the superb Blue Mountains to the treeless plains of the Nuliarbor.

There are also a range of short walks.Reading and discussingBefore you read the following text, read the title and look at the pictures. Discuss with a partner what you expect to read about in the text.AUSTRALIA’S DANGEROUS CREATURESAustralia is home to more than 170 different kinds of snake and 115 of these are poisonous. In fact, Australia has more kinds of venomous snake than any other country in the world. Luckily, the poison of most snakes can kill or paralyze only small creatures.A few varieties, however, can kill humans, so it is just as well that snakes are very shy and usually attack only if they are disturbed and feel threatened.There are also approximately 2,000 different kinds of spider in Australia and, like snakes, most have a poisonous bite. However, the majority have no effect on humans or cause only mild sickness.Only a few have venom that is powerful enough to kill a human being. While a small number of Australians are bitten by spiders each year, most recover without any medical treatment.The seas around Australia contain over 160 different kinds of shark, which vary in size fromjust 20 centimetres to over 14 metres. However, although they look dangerous because of their wide mouths and sharp teeth, all but two or three kinds are harmless to humans.Another potentially dangerous sea animal is the jellyfish. Most kinds of poisonous jellyfish can cause severe pain to anyone who touches them but the poison of the box jellyfish can actually kill a human, especially if that person has a weak heart. The tiniest amount of poison from a box jellyfish can kill in less than five minutes and it is probably the most poisonous animal in the world.There is one other dangerous animal in Australia worth mentioning, and that is the crocodile. Although two types of crocodile live in Australia, only the saltwater crocodile has been known to kill humans. This crocodile moves very quickly when it sees something it considers to be food, and from time to time a crocodile has snatched someone before he or she is even aware that the crocodile is there.You might think that with all these dangerous animals Australia is an unsafe place to live in or visit. However, this is far from the truth. There are no more than a handful of shark attacks each year and only three deaths have been reported in the last five years.Similarly, in the last three years there have been only two reported deaths from crocodile attacks. Since 1956, when an anti-venom treatment for redback spider bites was developed, there have been no deaths from redbacks, and since 1981 when a treatment was developed for funnelweb spider poison, there have been no deaths from this spider either. Treatments for jellyfish stings and s~aakebites have also been developed and in the last five years there have been only three deaths from jellyfish stings and about the same number from snakebites.选修9 Unit 4 Exploring plants-ReadingPLANT EXPLORATION IN THE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURIESThe plants in our gardens look so familiar that often we do not realize that many of them actually come from countries far away. Collecting "exotic" plants, as they are called, dates back to the earliest times. Many ancient civilisations saw the value of bringing back plants from distant lands. The first plant collecting expedition recorded in history was around 1500 BC when the Queen of Egypt sent ships away to gather plants, animals and other goods.However, it was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that the exploration of the botanical world began on a large scale. Europe had become interested in scientific discovery and the European middle classes took great interest in collecting new plants. Thisattraction to exotic plants grew as European nations, like the Netherlands, Britain and Spain, moved into other parts of the world like Asia and Australia. Brave young men took the opportunity of going on botanical expeditions, often facing many dangers including disease,near-starvation, severe environments and conflicts with the local people.An important group of collectors were Frencn Catholic missionaries who, by the middle of the 18th century, were beginning to set themselves up in China. One such missionary, Father d'Incarville, was sent to Beijing in the 1740s. He collected seeds of trees and bushes including those of the Tree of Heaven. Just before he died, he sent some Tree of Heaven seeds to England. They arrived in 1751 and plants from these seeds were grown throughout Europe and later, in 1784, the species was introduced in North America.Sir Joseph Banks was a very famous British plant collector, who accompanied James Cook on his first voyage from England to Oceania. The purpose of the trip for Banks was to record the plant and animal life they came across. He and his team collected examples whenever they went onto dry land. In 1769, Banks collected vast quantities of plants in the land now known as Australia. None of these plants had been recorded by Europeans before. Cook called the bay where the Endeavour hadanchored Botany Bay.Keeping plants alive during long land or sea voyages was an enormous challenge. Large numbers of seeds failed to grow after long sea voyages or trips across land between Asia and Europe. One plant explorer lost several years' work when his plants were mined with seawater.The world of plant exploration was completely changed with Dr Nathaniel Ward's invention of a tightly sealed portable glass container. This invention, called the Wardian case, allowed plants to be transported on long journeys. In 1833, Ward shipped two cases of British plants to Sydney, Australia. All the plants survived the six-month journey. In 1835, the cases made a return trip with some Australian species that had never been successfully transported before. After eight months at sea, they arrived safely in London.A British man called Robert Fortune was one of the earliest plant collectors to use Wardian cases. He made several trips to China between 1843 and 1859. At that time, there were restrictions on the movement of Europeans and so, in order to travel unnoticed, he developed his fluency in Chinese and dressed as a Chinese man, even shaving his head in the Chinese style. He experienced many adventures including huge thunderstorms in the Yellow Sea and pirates on the Yangtze River. Not only did Fortune introduce over 120 species of plants to Western gardens but he also shipped 20,000 tea plants from Shanghai to India, where a successful tea industry was established.The second half of the nineteenth century was a very important period of plant exploration. During this time many Catholic missionaries were sent to China from France. They valued the study of the natural sciences and many of the missionaries knew a lot about plants and animals. Their expeditions resulted in huge plant collections, which were sent back to France. One of the collectors was Father Farges, who collected 37 seeds from a tree that had appealed to him. This tree was later called the Dove Tree. He sent the seeds back to France in1897 but only one seed grew.Although the missionaries collected large numbers of soecimens. there was not enough material for growing particular species in Western gardens. However, European botanists were very excited with the knowledge that China had a vast variety of plants, so many plant collectors were sent on collecting trips to China. One of these collectors was E H Wilson who, in 1899, was able to collect a large quantity of seeds of the Dove Tree that Father Farges had discovered. Wilson and other plant collectors introduced many new plants to Western gardens.Reading and discussingBefore you read the text on page 38, have a quick glance at it. What is the text about? What do the pictures show you? What is the chart about?FLOWERS AND THEIR ANIMAIL POLLINATORSOver time, many flowering plants and their animal pollinators have evolved together. The plant needs the animal to pollinate it and the animal is rewarded with food called nectar when it visits the flowers. Pollen becomes attached to the animal during its visit to a flower and is then passed on to another plant's blossom on its next visit. So pollination takes place, therefore increasing the chances of the survival of the plant species.Through evolution, most flowers have adapted to attract specific types of pollinators. Bees, moths and butterflies are the most importantpollinators. Flies, wasps, beetles and other animals such as birds and bats are less common.The type of pollinator depends on the characteristics of the flower such as its colour, shape,。

You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can’t run or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors don’t know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live one day at a time.Until I was ten years old I was the same as everyone else. I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to getweaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope. Even after all that, no one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds.One problem is that I don’t look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs. Sometimes I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others.My life is a lot easier at high school because my fellow students have accepted me. The few who can not see the real person inside my body do not make me annoyed, and I just ignore them. All in all I have a good life. I am happy to have found many things I can do, like writing and computer programming. Myambition is to work for a firm that develops computer software when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decidedto buy from me. I have a very busy life with no timeto sit around feeling sorry for myself. As well as going to movies and football matches with my friends, I spend a lot of time with my pets. I have two rabbits, a parrot, a tank full of fish and a tortoise. To look after my pets properly takes a lot of timebut I find it worthwhile. I also have to do a lot of work, especially if I have been away for a while.In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more independent.I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If I had a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having adisability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don’t feel sorry for the disabled or make fun of them, and don’t ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live as rich and full a life as you do.Thank you for reading my story.Unit 2 RobotsLarry Belmont worked for a company that made robots. Recently it had begun experimenting with a household robot. It was going to be tested out by Larry’s wife, Claire.Claire didn’t want the robot in her house, especially as her husband would be absent for three weeks, but Larry persuade her or allow her to be harmed. It would be a bonus. However, when she first saw the robot, she felt alarmed. His name was Tony and he seemed more like a human than a machine. He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voice although his facial expression never changed.On the second morning Tony, wearing an apron, brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing. She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go. It was disturbing and frightening that he looked so human.One day, Claire mentioned that she didn’t think she was clever. Tony said that she must feel very unhappy to say that. Claire thought it was ridiculousto be offered sympathy by a robot. But she began to trust him. She told him how she was overweight and this made her feel unhappy. Also she felt her home wasn’t elegant enough for someone like Larry who wanted to improve his social position. She wasn’t like Gladys Claffern, one of the richest and most powerful women around.As a favor Tony promised to help Claire make herself smarter and her home more elegant. So Claise borrowed a pile of books from the library for him to read, or rather, scan. She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned each page and suddenly reached for his hand. She was amazed by his fingernails and the softness and warmth of his skin. How absurd, she thought. He was just a machine.Tony gave Claire a new haircut and changed the makeup she wore. As he was not allowed to accompany her to the shops, he wrote out a list of items for her. Claire went into the city and bought curtains, cushions, a carpet and bedding. Then she went into a jeweler shop to buy a necklace. When the clerk at the counter was rude to her, she rang Tony up and toldthe clerk to speak to him. The clerk immediately changed his attitude. Claire thanked Tony, telling him that he was a “dear”. As she turned around, there stood Gladys Claffern. How awful to be discovered by her, Claire thought. By the amused and surprised look on her face, Claire knew that Gladys thought she was having an affair. After all, she knew Claire’s husband name was Larry, not Tony.When Claire got home, she wept with anger in her armchair. Gladys was everything Claire wanted to be.“You can be like her”, Tony told her and suggested that she invite Gladys and her friends to the house the night before he was to leave and Larry was to return. By that time, Tony expected the house to be completely transformed.Tony worked steadily on the improvements. Claire tried to help once but was too clumsy. She fell off a ladder and even though Tony was in the next room, he managed to catch her in time. He held her firmly in his arms and she felt the warmth of his body. She screamed, pushed him away and ran to her room for the rest of the day.The night of the party arrived. The clock struck eight. The guests would be arriving soon and Claire told Tony to go into another room. At that moment, Tony folded his arms around her, bending his face close to hers. She cried out “Tony” and then heard him declare that he didn’t want to leave her the next day and that he felt more than just the desire to please her. Then the front door bell rang. Tony freed her and disappeared from sight. It was thenthat Claire realized that Tony had opened thecurtains of the front window. Her guests had seen everything!The women were impressed by Claire, the house and the delicious cuisine. Just before they left, Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women! She might not be as beautiful as them, but none of them had such a handsome lover.Then she remembered- Tony was just a machine. She shouted “ Leave me alone” and ran to her bed. Shecried all night. The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away.The company was very pleased with the report of Tony on his three weeks with Claire. Tony had protected a human being from harm. He had prevented Claire from harming herself through her own sense of failure. He had opened the curtains that night sothat the other women would see him and Claire, knowing that there was no risk to Claire’s marriage. But even though Tony had been so clever, he would have to be rebuilt- you can not have women falling in love with machines.Unit 3 Under the seaI was 16 when I began work in June 1902 at the whaling station. I had heard of the killers that every year helped whalers catch huge whales. I thought, at the time, that this was just a story but then I witnessed it with my own eyes many times.On the afternoon I arrived at the station, as I was sorting out my accommodation, I heard a loud noise coming from the bay. We ran down to the shore in timeto see an enormous animal opposite us throwing itself out of the water and then crashing down again. It was black and white and fish-shaped.Without pausing we jumped into the boat with the other whalers and headed out into the bay. I looked down into the water and could see Old Tom swimming by the boat, showing us the way. A few minutes later, there was no Tom, so George started beating the water with his oar and there was Tom, circling back to the boat, leading us to the hunt again.Using a telescope we could see that something was happening. As we drew closer, I could see a whale being attacked by a pack of about six other killers. The killers over there are throwing themselves on top of the whale’s blow-hole to stop it breathing. And those others are stopping it diving or fleeing out to sea. George told me, pointing towards the hunt. And just at that moment, the most extraordinary thing happened. The killers started racing between our boat and whale just like a pack of excited dogs. Although Old Tom and other killers were fierce hunters, they never harmed or attacked people. In fact, theyprotected them. There was one day when we were out in the bay during a hunt and James was washed off the boat.The sea was rough that day and it was difficult to handle the boat. The waves were carrying Jamesfurther and further away from us. From James’s face, I could see he was terrified of being abandoned by us. Then suddenly I saw a shark. It took over half anhour to get the boat back to James, and when we approached him, I saw James being firmly held up inthe water by Old Tom. I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were shouts of “Well done, Old Tom” and “Thank God” as we pulled James back into the boat. And then Old Tom was off and back to the hunt wherethe other killers were still attacking the whale.Unit 4 SharingA Letter homeDear Rosemary,Thanks for your letter, which took a fortnight to arrive. It was wonderful to hear from you. I know you are dying to hear all about my life here, so I’veincluded some photos which will help you picture the places I talk about.You asked about my high school. Well, it’s a bush school- the classrooms are made of bamboo and theroofs of grass. It takes me only a few minutes towalk to school down a muddy track. When I reach the school grounds there are lots of “good morning” for me from the boys. Many of them have walked a long way, sometimes up to two hours, to get to school.There is no electricity or water and even no textbooks either. I am still trying to adapt to these conditions. However, one thing is for sure, I have become more imaginative in my teaching. Science is my most challenging subject as my students have no concept of doing experiments. In fact there is no equipment, and if I need water I have to carry itfrom my house in a bucket! The other day I wasshowing the boys the weekly chemistry experiment when, before I knew it, the mixture was bubbling over everywhere! The boys who had never come across anything like this before started jumping out of the windows. Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry isto these students, most of whom will be going back to their villages after Year 8 anyway. To be honest, I doubt whether I am making any difference to these boys’ lives at all.You asked whether I’m getting to know any local people. That is actually quite difficult as I don’t speak much of the local English dialect yet. But last weekend another teacher, Jenny, and I did visit a village which is the home of one of the boys. It was my first visit to a remote village. We walked for two and a half hours to get there- first up a mountain to a ridge from where we had fantastic views and then down a steep path to the valley below. When wearrived at the village, Tom’s mother, Kiak, who had been pulling weeds in her garden, started crying. We shook hands with all the villagers. Everyone seemed to be a relative of Tom’s.Tom’s father, led us to his house, a low bamboo hut with grass sticking out of the roof- this shows it is a man’s house. The hut was round, not rectangle like the school buildings. There were no windows and the doorway was just big enough to get through. The hutwas dark inside so it took time for our eyes to adjust. There was a fireplace in the centre of the hut near the doorway. The only possessions I could see were one broom a few tin plates and cups and a couple of jars. Outside Mukap was building a fire. Once the fire was going, he laid stones on it. When hot, he placed them in an empty oil drum with sweet potato, corn and greens. It smells delicious. We ate inside the hut sitting round the fire. I love listening to the family softly talking to each other in their language, even though I could notparticipate in the conversation.Later, I noticed a tin standing upside down on the grill over the fire. After a short time Tom threw it out of the doorway. I was puzzled. Tom told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food. They believe that any leftovers attract evil spirits in the night, so the food is dried up in the can and the can is then thrown out of the hut. Otherwise they don’t waste anything.We left the village the next morning after many goodbyes and firm handshakes. My muscles were achingand my knees shaking as we climbed down the mountain towards home. That evening I fell happily into bed.It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tom’s family.It is getting late and I have to prepare tomorrow’s lessons and do some paperwork. Please write soon. Love,JoeUnit 5 Travelling abroadChinese student fitting in wellSix months ago, Xie lei said goodbye to her family and friends in China and boarded a plane for London. It was the first time she had ever left her motherland. After getting her visa she was very excited because she had dreamed of this day for so long. But she was also very nervous as she didn’t know what to expect. Xie lei told me when I saw her waiting in a queue at the student canteen between lectures.Xie lei, who is 21 years old, has come to our university to study for a business qualification. Sheis halfway through the preparation year, which most foreign students complete before applying for adegree course. Xie lei highly recommends it. She said the preparation course is most beneficial andstudying here is quite different from studying in China, so you need some preparation first.She explained that It was not just study that was difficult. You had to get used to a whole new way of life, which could take up all your concentration inthe beginning. The girl, who had lived all her lifein the same city in China. She told me that she had had to learn almost everything again. She added sometimes she felt like a child and had to learn howto use the phone, how to pay bus fare, and how to ask a shopkeeper for things she didn’t know the English for. When she got lost and had to ask a passer-byfor directions, she did not always understand because they did not talk like they do on our listening tapes. She has lived with a host family who give her lots of good advice. Although some foreign students livein student accommodation or apartments, some chooseto board with English families. Living with hostfamilies, in which there may be other college students, gives her the chance to learn more about the new culture. She explained when she heard an idiom that she didn’t understand, she could ask her host family for help. When she missed her family, it was a great comfort to have a substitute family to be with.Xie lei’s preparation course is helping her to get used to the academic requirements of a Western university. She remember the first essay she did for her tutor. She found an article on the Internet that seemed to have exactly the information she needed. So she made a summary of the article, revised her draft and handed the essay in. She thought she would get a really good mark but she got an E. She was numb with shock! So She went to her tutor to ask the reason for his revision. First of all, her tutor told Xie Lei that she couldn’t write what other people had said without acknowledging them. Besides, as far as he was concerned, what other people thought was not the most important thing. He wanted to know what his student thought, which confused her because she thought thatthe author of the article knew far more than she did. Her tutor explained that she should read lots of different opinions and analyze what she read. Then,in her essay she gave her own opinion and explain itby referring to other authors. Finally he even encouraged her to contradict the authors she had read. From then on, she got the idea and her marks had improved. More importantly, she become a more autonomous learner.Xie Lei said she feels much more at home in England now, and what had seemed very strange before now appears quite normal. She has been so occupied with work that she hasn’t had time for social activities. In her opinion, it is important to have a balance between study and a social life so she is going tojoin a few clubs. Hopefully she will make some new friends. She deserves to succeed.高中英语句法大全-倒装句倒装句一.概念: 英语句子通常有两种语序:一种主语在前,谓语在后,称为自然语序,另一种谓误在前,主语在后,称为倒装语序二.相关知识点精讲按“主语+ 谓语” 这种顺序排列的句子是陈述语序。

高中英语选修课：英语文学欣赏SisterCarrie学生版讲义资料第一篇：高中英语选修课：英语文学欣赏 Sister Carrie 学生版讲义资料Chapter III WEE QUESTION OF FORTUNE--FOUR-FIFTY A WEEKOnce across the river and into the wholesale district, she glanced about her for some likely door at which to apply.As she contemplated the wide windows and imposing signs, she became conscious of being gazed upon and understood for what she was--a wage-seeker.She had never done this thing before, and lacked courage.To avoid a certain indefinable shame she felt at being caught spying about for a position, she quickened her steps and assumed an air of indifference supposedly common to one upon an errand.In this way she passed many manufacturing and wholesale houses without once glancing in.At last, after several blocks of walking, she felt that this would not do, and began to look about again, though without relaxing her pace.A little way on she saw a great door which, for some reason, attracted her attention.It was ornamented by a small brass sign, and seemed to be the entrance to a vast hive of six or seven floors.“Perhaps,” she thought, “They may want some one,” and crossed over to enter.When she came within a score of feet of the desired goal, she saw through the window a young man in a grey checked suit.That he had anything to do with the concern, she could not tell, but because he happened to be looking in her direction her weakening heart misgave her and she hurried by, too overcome with shame to enter.Over the way stood a great six-story structure, labelled Storm and King, which she viewed with rising hope.It was a wholesale dry goods concern andemployed women.She could see them moving about now and then upon the upper floors.This place she decided to enter, no matter what.She crossed over and walked directly toward the entrance.As she did so, two men came out and paused in the door.A telegraph messenger in blue dashed past her and up the few steps that led to the entrance and disappeared.Several pedestrians out of the hurrying throng which filled the sidewalks passed about her as she paused, hesitating.She looked helplessly around, and then, seeing herself observed, retreated.It was too difficult a task.She could not go past them.So severe a defeat told sadly upon her nerves.Her feet carried her mechanically forward, every foot of her progress being a satisfactory portion of a flight which she gladly made.Block after block passed by.Upon streetlamps at the various corners she read names such as Madison, Monroe, La Salle, Clark, Dearborn, State, and still she went, her feet beginning to tire upon the broad stone flagging.She was pleased in part that the streets were bright and clean.The morning sun, shining down with steadily increasing warmth, made the shady side of the streets pleasantly cool.She looked at the blue sky overhead with more realisation of its charm than had ever come to her before.Her cowardice began to trouble her in a way.She turned back, resolving to hunt up Storm and King and enter.On the way, she encountered a great wholesale shoe company, through the broad plate windows of which she saw an enclosed executivedepartment, hidden by frosted glass.Without this enclosure, but just within the street entrance, sat a grey-haired gentleman at a small table, with a large open ledger before him.She walked by this institution several times hesitating, but, finding herself unobserved, faltered past the screen door and stood humblewaiting.“Well, young lady,” observed the old gentleman, looking at her some what kindly, “what is it you wish?” “I am, that is, do you--I mean, do you need any help?” she stammered.“Not just at present,” he answered smiling.“Not just at e in some time next week.Occasionally we need some one.” She received the answer in silence and backed awkwardly out.The pleasant nature of her reception rather astonished her.She had expected that it would be more difficult, that something cold and harsh would be said--she knew not what.That she had not been put to shame and made to feel her unfortunate position, seemed remarkable.Somewhat encouraged, she ventured into another large structure.It was a clothing company, and more people were in evidence--well-dressed men of forty and more, surrounded by brass railings.An office boy approach ed her.“Who is it you wish to see?” he asked.“I want to see the manager,” she said.He ran away and spoke to one of a group of three men who were conferring together.One of these came towards her.“Well?” he said coldly.The greeting drove all courage from he r at once.“Do you need any help?” she stammered.“No,” he replied abruptly, and turned upon his heel.She went foolishly out, the office boy deferentially swinging the door for her, and gladly sank into the obscuring crowd.It was a severe setback to her recently pleased mental state.Now she walked quite aimlessly for a time, turning here and there, seeing one great company after another, but finding no courage to prosecute her single inquiry.High noon came, and with it hunger.She hunted out an unassuming restaurant and entered, but was disturbed to find that the prices were exorbitant for the size of her purse.A bowl of soup was all that she could afford, and, with this quickly eaten, she went outagain.It restored her strength somewhat and made her moderately bold to pursue the search.In walking a few blocks to fix upon some probable place, she again encountered the firm of Storm and King, and this time managed to get in.Some gentlemen were conferring close at hand, but took no notice of her.She was left standing, gazing nervously upon the floor.When the limit of her distress had been nearly reached, she was beckoned to by a man at one of the many desks within the near-by railing.“Who is it you wish to see?” he required.“Why, any one, if you please,” she answered.“I am looking for something to do.”“Oh, you want to see Mr.McManus,” he returned.“Sit down,” and he pointed to a chair against the neighbouring wall.He went on leisurely writing, until after a time a short, stout gentleman came in from the street.“Mr.McManus,” called the man at the desk, “this young woman wants to see you.” The short gentleman turned about towards Carrie, and she arose and came forward.“What can I do for you, miss?” he inquired, surveying her curiously.“I want to know if I can get a position,” she inquired.“As what?” he asked.“Not as anything in particular,” she faltered.“Have you ever had any experience in the wholesale dry goods business?” he questioned.“No, sir,” she replied.“Are you a stenographer or typewriter?” “No, sir.” “Well, we haven't anything here,” he said.“We employ only experienced help.” She began to step backward toward the door, when something about her plaintive face attracted him.“Have you ever worked at anything before?” he inquired.“No, sir,” she said.“Well, now, it's hardly possible that you would get anything to do in a wholesale house of this kind.Have you tried the department stores?” She acknowledged that she hadnot.“Well, if I were you,” he said, looking at her rather genially, “I would try the department store s.They often need young women as clerks.” “Thank you,” she said, her whole nature relieved by this spark of friendly interest.“Yes,” he said, as she moved toward the door, “you try the department stores,” and off he went.…………Sick at heart and in body, she turned to the west, the direction of Minnie's flat, which she had now fixed in mind, and began that wearisome, baffled retreat which the seeker for employment at nightfall too often makes.In passing through Fifth Avenue, south towards Van Buren Street, where she intended to take a car, she passed the door of a large wholesale shoe house, through the plate-glass windows of which she could see a middle-aged gentleman sitting at a small desk.One of those forlorn impulses which often grow out of a fixed sense of defeat, the last sprouting of a baffled and uprooted growth of ideas, seized upon her.She walked deliberately through the door and up to the gentleman, who looked at her weary face with partially awakened interest.“What is it?” he said.“Can you give me something to do?” said Carrie.“Now, I really don't know,” he said kindly.“What kind of work is it you want--you're not a typewriter, are you?” “Oh, no,” answered Carrie.“Well, we only employ book-keepers and typewriters here.You might go around to the side and inquire upstairs.They did want some help upstairs a few days ago.Ask for Mr.Brown.” She hastened around to the side entrance and was taken up by the elevator to the fourth floor.“Call Mr.Brown, Willie,” said the elevator man to a boy near by.Willie went off and presently returned with the information that Mr.Brown said she should sit down and that he would be around in a little while.It was a portion of the stockroom which gave no idea of the general character of the place, and Carrie could form no op inion of the nature of the work.“So you want something to do,” said Mr.Brown, after he inquired concerning the nature of her errand.“Have you ever been employed in a shoe factory before?” “No, sir,” said Carrie.“What is your name?” he inquired, and being i nformed, “Well, I don't know as I have anything for you.Would you work for four and a half a week?” Carrie was too worn by defeat not to feel that it was considerable.She had not expected that he would offer her less than six.She acquiesced, however, and he took her name and address.“Well,” he said, finally, “you report here at eight o'clock Monday morning.I think I can find something for you to do.” He left her revived by the possibilities, sure that she had found something at last.Instantly the blood crept warmly over her body.Her nervous tension relaxed.She walked out into the busy street and discovered a new atmosphere.Behold, the throng was moving with a lightsome step.She noticed that men and women were smiling.Scraps of conversation and notes of laughter floated to her.The air was light.People were already pouring out of the buildings, their labour ended for the day.She noticed that they were pleased, and thoughts of her sister's home and the meal that would be awaiting her quickened her steps.She hurried on, tired perhaps, but no longer weary of foot.What would not Minnie say!Ah, the long winter in Chicago--the lights, the crowd, the amusement!This was a great, pleasing metropolis after all.Her new firm was a goodly institution.Its windows were of huge plate glass.She could probably do well there.Thoughts of Drouet returned--of the things he had told her.She now felt that life was better, that it was livelier, sprightlier.She boarded a car in the bestof spirits, feeling her blood still flowing pleasantly.She would live in Chicago, her mind kept saying to itself.She would have a better time than she had ever had before--she would be happy.第二篇：高中英语选修课：英语文学欣赏 Langston Hughes《黑人谈河流》学生版讲义The

in love.Many nights they had spent walking, talking together.Then something not very important had come between them, and they didn’t speak.Impulsively, she had married a man she thought she loved.Bill went away, bitter about women.Yesterday, walking across Washington Square, she saw him for the first time in years.“Bill Walker,” she said.H estopped.At first he did not recognize her, to him she looked so old.“Mary!Where did you come from?”Unconsciously, she lifted her face as though wanting a kiss, but he held out his hand.She took it.“I live in New York now,” she said.“Oh,—Smiling politely, then a little frown came quickly between his eyes.“Always wondered what happened to you, Bill.” “I’m a lawyer.Nice firm, way downtown.” “Married yet?” “Sure.Two kids.” “Oh,” she said.A great many people went past them through the park.People they didn’t know.It was late afternoon.Nearly sunset.Cold.“And your husband?” he asked her.“We have three children.I work in the bursar’s office at Columbia.” “You are looking very…”(He wanted to say old)“…well,” he said.She understood.Under the trees in Washington Square, she found herself desperately reaching back into the past.She had been older than he then in Ohio.Now she was not young at all.Bill was still young.“We live on Central Park West,” she said.“Come and see us sometime.”“Sure,” he replied.“You and your husband must have dinner with my family some night.Any night.Lucille and I’d love to have you.”The leaves fell slowly from the tree in the Square.Fell without wind.Autumn dusk.She felt a little sick.“We’d love it,” she answered.“You ought to see my kids.” He grinned.Suddenly the lights came on up the whole length of Fifth Avenue, chains of misty brilliance in the blue air.“There’s my bus,” she said.He held out his hand.“Goodbye.”“When…”, she wanted to say, but the bus was ready to pull off.The lights on the avenue blurred, twinkled, blurred.And she was afraid to open her mouth as she entered the bus.Afraid it would be impossible to utter a word.Suddenly she shrieked veryloudly, “Good-bye!” But the bus door had closed.The bus started.People came between them outside, people crossing the street, people they didn’t know.Space and people.She lost sight of Bill.Then she remembered she had forgotten to give him her address—or to ask him for his—or tell him that her youngest boy was named Bill, too.第三篇：高中英语选修课：英语文学欣赏夜莺与玫瑰教学课件The Nightingale And The RoseOscar Wilde“She said that she would dance with me if I brought her red roses,” cried the young Student, “but in all my garden there is no red rose.”From her nest in the oak tree（栎树）the Nightingale heard him, and she looked out through the leaves and wondered.“No red rose in all my garden!” he cried, and his beautiful eyes filled with tears.“Ah, on what little things does happiness depend!I have read all that the wise men have written, and all the secrets of philosophy are mine, yet for want of a red rose is my life made wretched.”（不幸的、悲惨的）“Here at last is a true lover,” said the Nightingale.“Night after night have I sung of him, though I knew him not: night after night have I told his story to the stars and now I see him.His hair is dark as the hyacinth(风信子)--blossom, and his lips are red as the rose of his desire;but passion has made his face like pale ivory, and sorrow has set her seal upon his brow.”“The Prince gives a ball to-morrow night,” mu rmured the young student, “and my love will be of the company.If I bring her a red rose she will dance with me till dawn.If I bring her a red rose, I should hold her in my arms, and she will lean her head upon my shoulder, and her hand will be clasped in mine.But thereis no red rose in my garden, so I shall sit lonely, and she will pass me by.She will have no heed of me, and my heart will break.”“Here, indeed, is the true lover,” said the Nightingale.“What I sing of, he suffers: what is joy to me, to him is pain.Surely love is a wonderful thing.It is more precious than emeralds（绿宝石）, and dearer than fine opals（猫眼石）.Pearls and pomegranates（石榴石）cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the market-place.It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weig hed out in the balance for gold.”“The musicians will sit in their gallery,” said the young Student, “and play upon their stringed instruments, and my love will dance to the sound of the harp and the violin.She will dance so lightly that her feet will not touch the floor, and the courtiers in their gay dresses will throng round her.But with me she will not dance, for I have no red rose to give her:” and he flung himself down on the grass, and buried his face in his hands, and wept.“Why is he weeping?” asked a little Green Lizard, as he ran past him with his tail in the air.“Why, indeed?” said a Butterfly, who was fluttering about after a sunbeam.“Why, indeed?” whispered a Daisy to his neighbour, in a soft, low voice.“He is weeping for a red rose,” said the Nightingale.“For a red rose?” they cried: “how very ridiculous!” and the little Lizard, who was something of a cynic , laughed outright.But the Nightingale understood the secret of the Student’s sorrow, and she sat silent in the oak-tree, and thought about the mystery of Love.Suddenly she spread her brown wings for flight, and soared into the air.She passed through the grove like a shadow and like a shadow she sailed across the garden.In the center of the grass-plot was standing a beautiful Rose-tree, and when she saw it she flew over to it, and lit upon a spray.“Give me a red rose,” shecried, “and I will sing you my sweetest song.”But the Tree shook its head.“My roses are white,” it answered;“as white as the foam of the sea, and whiter than the snow upon the mountain.But go to my brother who grows round the old sun-dial（日规）, and perhaps he will give you what you want.”So the Nightingale flew over to the Rose-tree that was growing round the old sun-dial.“Give me a red rose,” she cried, “and I will sing you my sweetest song.”But the Tree shook its head.“My roses are yellow,” it answered;“as yellow as the hair of the mermaiden（美人鱼）who sits upon an amber throne, and yellower than the daffodil that blooms in the meadow（割草机）before the mower comes with his scythe.But go to my brother who grows beneath the Student’s window, and perhaps he will give you what you want.”So the Nightingale flew over to the Rose-tree that was growing beneath the Student’s window.“Give me a red rose,” she cried, “and I will sing you my sweetest song.”But the Tree shook its head.“My roses are red,” it answered, “as red as the feet of the dove, and redder than the great fans of coral that wave and wave in the ocean-cavern.But the winter has chilled my veins, and the frost has nipped my buds, and the storm has broken my branches, and I shall have no roses at all this year.”“One red rose is all I want,” cried the Nightingale, “only one red rose!Is there no way by which I can get it?”“There is a way,” answered the Tree;“but it is so terribl e that I dare not tell it to you.”“Tell it to me,” said the Nightingale, “I am not afraid.”“If you want a red rose,” said the Tree, “you must build itout of music by moonlight, and stain（染色）it with your own heart’s blood.You must sing to me with your br east against a thorn.All night long you must sing to me, and the thorn must pierce（刺穿）your heart, and your life-blood must flow into my veins（静脉）, and become mine.”“Death is a great price to pay for a red rose,” cried the Nightingale, “and Life is very de ar to all.It is pleasant to sit in the green wood, and to watch the Sun in his chariot of gold, and the Moon in her chariot of pearl.Sweet is the scent of the hawthorn, and sweet are the bluebells that hide in the valley, and the heather that blows on the hill.Yet love is better than Life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man?”So she spread her brown wings for flight, and soared into the air.She swept over the garden like a shadow, and like a shadow she sailed through the grove.The young Student was still lying on the grass, where she had left him, and the tears were not yet dry in his beautiful eyes.“Be happy,” cried the Nightingale, “be happy;you shall have your red rose.I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it wit h my own heart’s blood.All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy , though he is wise, and mightier than Power, though he is mighty.Flame-coloured are his wings, and coloured like flame is his body.His lips are sweet as honey, and his breath is like frankincense.”The Student looked up from the grass, and listened, but he could not understand what the Nightingale was saying to him, for he only knew the things that are written down in books.But the Oak-tree understood, and felt sad, for he was very fond of the little Nightingale, who had built her nest in his branches.“Sing me one last song,” he whispered;“I shall feellonely when you are gone.”So the Nightingale sang to the Oak-tree, and her voice was like water bubbling from a silver jar.When she had finished her song, the Student got up, and pulled a note-book and a lead-pencil out of his pocket.“She has form,” he said to himself, as he walked away through the grove—“that cannot be denied to her;but has she got feeling? I am afraid not.In fact, she is like most artists;she is all style without any sincerity.She would not sacrifice herself for others.She thinks merely of music, and everybody knows that the arts are selfish.Still, it must be admitted that she has some beautiful notes in her voice.What a pity it is that they do not mean anything, or do any practical good!” And he went into his room, and lay down on his little pallet-bed, and began to think of his love;and, after a time, he fell asleep.And when the moon shone in the heavens the Nightingale flew to the Rose-tree, and set her breast against the thorn.All night long she sang, with her breast against the thorn, and the cold crystal Moon leaned down and listened.All night long she sang, and the thorn went deeper and deeper into her breast, and her life-blood ebbed away（逐渐消失）from her.She sang first of the birth of love in the heart of a boy and a girl.And on the topmost spray of the Rose-tree there blossomed a marvelous rose, petal following petal, as song followed song.Pale was it, at first, as the mist that hangs over the river—pale as the feet of the morning, and silver as the wings of the dawn.As the shadow of a rose in a mirror of silver, as the shadow of a rose in a water-pool, so was the rose that blossomed on the topmost spray of the Tree.But the Tree cried to the Nightingale to press closer against the thorn.“Press closer, little Nightingale,” cried the Tree, “or the Day will come before the rose is finished.”So the Nightingale pressed closer against the thorn, and louder and louder grew her song, for she sang of the birth of passion in the soul of a man and a maid.And a delicate flush of pink came into the leaves of the rose, like the flush in the face of the bridegroom when he kisses the lips of the bride.But the thorn had not yet reached her heart, so the rose’s heart remained white, for only a Nightingale’s heart’s blood can crimson the heart of a rose.And the Tree cried to the Nightingale to press closer against the thorn.“Press closer,little Nightingale,” cried the Tree, “or the Day will come before the rose is finished.”So the Nightingale pressed closer against the thorn, and the thorn touched her heart, and a fierce pang of pain shot through her.Bitter, bitter was the pain, and wilder and wilder grew her song, for she sang of the Love that is perfected by Death, of the Love that dies not in the tomb.And the marvelous rose became crimson , like the rose of the eastern sky.Crimson was the girdle of petals, and crimson as a ruby was the heart.But the Nightingale’ voice grew fainter（虚弱的）, and her little wings began to beat, and a film came over her eyes.Fainter and fainter grew her song, and she felt something choking her in her throat.Then she gave one last burst of music.The white Moon heard it, and she forgot the dawn, and lingered on（停留在…）in the sky.The red rose heard it, and it trembled all over with ecstasy（狂喜）, and opened its petals to the cold morning air.Echo bore it to her purple cavern in the hills, and woke the sleeping shepherds from their dreams.It floated through the reeds of the river, and they carried its message to the sea.“Look, look!” cried the Tree, “the rose is finished now;” but the Nightingale made no answer, for she was lying dead in the long grass, with the thorn in her heart.And at noon the Student opened his window and lookedout.“Why, what a wonderful piece of luck!” He cried;“here is a red rose!I have never seen any rose like it in all my life.It is so beautiful that I am sure it has a long Latin name;” and he l eaned down and plucked it.Then he put on his hat, and ran up to the Professor’s house with the rose in his hand.The daughter of the Professor was sitting in the doorway winding blue silk on a reel, and her little dog was lying at her feet.“You said that yo u would dance with me if I brought you a red rose,” cried the Student.“Here is the reddest rose in all the world.You will wear it to-night next your heart, and as we dance together it will tell you how I love you.”But he girl frowned（皱眉）.“I am afraid it w ill not go with my dress,” she answered;“and, besides, the Chamberlain’s nephew had sent me some real jewels, and everybody knows that jewels cost far more than flowers.”“Well, upon my word, you are very ungrateful,” said the Student angrily;and he threw the rose onto he street, where it fell into the gutter（排水沟）, and a cartwheel went over it.“Ungrateful!” said the girl.“I tell you what, you are very rude;and, after all, who are you? Only a Student.Why, I dont believe you have even got silver buckles to your shoes as the Chamberlain’s nephew has;” and she got up from her chair and went into the house.“What a silly thing Love is!” said the Student as he walked away.“It is not half as useful as Logic, for it does not prove anything, and it is always telling one of things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true.In fact, it is quite unpractical, and, as in this age to be practical is everything, I shall go back to Philosophy and study Metaphysics.”So he returned to his room and pulled out a great dusty book,and began to read.The Selfish Giantby Oscar WildeEvery afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the giant's garden.It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass.Here and there were twelve peach-trees that in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit.The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games in order to listen to them.“How happy we are!” they cried to each other.One day the giant came back.He had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years.After the seven years were over he had said all that he had to say, for his conversation was limited, and he determined to return to his own castle.When he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden.“What are you doing here?” he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away.“My own garden is my own garden,” said the giant;“any one can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself.” So he built a high wall around it, and put up a notice-board “Trespassers will be prosecuted.”He was a very selfish giant.The poor children had now nowhere to play.They tried to play on the road, but the road was very dusty and full of hard stones, and they did not like it.They used to wander round the high walls when their lessons were over, and talk about the beautiful garden inside.“How happy we were there!” they said to each other.Then the spring came, and all over the country there were little blossoms and little birds.Only in the garden of the selfish giant it was still winter.The birds did not care to sing in it as there were no children, and the trees forgot to blossom.Once a beautiful little flower put its head out。

人教版英语选修6课文原文及课文译文Unit1 Art第一单元艺术ReadingA SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTINGArt is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones. Starting from the sixth century AD.The Middle Ages(5th to the 15th century AD)During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artistof this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.The Renaissance(15th to 16th century)During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually replaced those held in the Middle Ages. People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life.At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, so they coule decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements.One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence,oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.Impressionism(late 19h to early 20th century)In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal,from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worke in Paris.The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angry about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.Modern Art(29th century to today)At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepeted as the beginning of what we call "modern art". This is because the Impressionists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of modern art styles,but without the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exsist. On the one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but instead concentrates n certain qualities of the object, using colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other hand, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can predict what painting styles there will be in the future?西方绘画艺术简史西方艺术风格变化较大，而中国艺术风格变化较小。

Minister Danton
In the story, Minister Danton is one of the most powerful and important ministers in the government. He had stolen the important letter from an office in the royal palace.
“The stolen letter” is told from the first –person point of view by an unnamed narrator. He is a friend of Dupin. All the actions are seen and told through the eyes of “I”.
About a month later, Dupin asked me and Chief Germain to meet him and told us that he would give Chief Germain the letter if Chief germain could give a check for fifty thousand francs to him. After Chief Germain left, C. Auguste Dupin told me how he got the letter from Minister Dandon. Dupon thought Chief Germain had searched for the letter the wrong way—in some secret out-of-the-way place.Therefore, he paid attention to the letter out in the open. He finally saw it on a cardboard letter holder. At last, he wound his way into the letter.
