在这篇文章中,John Dos Passos运用散文和诗歌两种文学形式,讲述了莱特兄弟制造的世界上第一架飞机,这是人类历史上最重要的里程碑之一。
他还描述了杰出的莱特兄弟的生活,他们去kitty Hawk 不是为了野营,而是去完成一个听起来不可能的事情。
1903年12月17日,住在俄亥俄州代顿市霍桑街一幢木头房子里的兄弟联合会主教、曾任《宗教嘹望》报编辑的莱特先生收到了他的儿子威尔伯和奥维尔发来的电报。
他们两个突发奇想, 去北卡罗来纳州海岸沙丘上的一个小宿营地度假,给自己匆忙赶制的滑翔机做一些修补。
电文:周四早成功四次飞行,在21mile/hour 从水平面起飞,仅靠引擎力量启动,平均31mile/hour 最长57秒。
数字有点出入,因为电报员误读了奥维夫的潦字。
但事实并没改变,来自dayton,俄亥俄州的两个单车修理工设计,建造,并试飞了一架真正的飞机。
电机预热几分钟后,我松了拉住飞机在跑道的绳,飞机迎风冲去。
韦伯扶着机翼跑以保持机身的平衡,以免跑出跑道。
不像14号那天,今天电机平静的向前稳行,直面27M/H的风。
韦伯一直扶着它直到它跑了40英尺后起飞。
一个救命的摄影师拍下了它离地两英尺的一幕。
它当时刚飞到跑道尾部,飞行过程上下摇摆既不稳定,归因于空气的不平稳和驾驭经验的不足。
一个猛扎结束了它120英尺的飞行旅程。
它飞了12秒,但这是人类飞行史上第一次带人的,全程自力飞行的,过程没有减速的,且最后落点与起点等高的飞行。
晚些时候飞机遇上阵风,打了个翻,撞个粉碎,差点杀了那想把它拉下来的海防巡警。
这很不幸,但兄弟俩太高兴了,并不在意。
他们证明了那该死的东西能飞。

READING SELECTION AWorld English: A Blessing or a Curse? Universal languageBy Tom McArthur[1] In the year 2000, the language scholar Glanville Price, a Welshman, made the following assertion as editor of the book Languages in Britain and Ireland:For English is a killer. It is English that has killed off Cumbric, Cornish, Norn and Manx. There are still parts of these islands where sizeable communities speak languages that were there before English. Yet English is everywhere in everyday use and understood by all or virtually all, constituting such a threat to the three remaining Celtic languages, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh... that their long-term future must be considered... very greatly at risk. (p 141) Some years earlier, in 1992, Robert Phillipson, English academic who currently works in Denmark, published with Oxford a book entitled Linguistic Imperialism. In it, he argued that the major English-speaking countries, the worldwide English-language teaching industry, and notably the British Council pursue policies of linguistic aggrandisement. He also associated such policies with a prejudice which he calls linguicism (a condition parallel to(equal to/ similar to) racism and sexism). As Phillipson sees it, leading institutions and individuals within the predominantly "white" English-speaking world, have [by design(=deliberate) or default(=mistake)] encouraged or at least tolerated—and certainly have not opposed—the hegemonic spread of English, a spread which began some three centuries ago as economic and colonial expansion.[2] Phillipson himself worked for some years for the British Council, and he is not alone among Anglophone academics who have sought to point up the dangers of English as a world language. The internationalization of English has in the last few decades been widely discussed in terms of three groups: first, the ENL countries, where English is a native language (this group also being known as the "inner circle"); second, the ESL countries, where English is a second language (the "outer circle"); and third, the EFL countries, where English is a foreign language (the "expanding circle"). Since the 1980s, when such terms became common, this third circle has in fact expanded to take in the entire planet.[3] For good or for ill, there has never been a language quite like English. There have been many "world languages", such as Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit. By and large, we now view them as more or less benign, and often talk with admiration and appreciation about the cultures associated with them and what they have given to the world. And it is fairly safe to do this, because none of them now poses much of a threat.[4] English however is probably too close for us to be able to analyze and judge it as dispassionately, as we may now discuss the influence of Classical Chinese on East Asia or of Classical Latin on Western Europe. The jury is still out in the trial of the English language, and may take several centuries to produce its verdict, but even so we can ask, in this European Year of Languages, whether Price and Phillipson are right to warn us all about the language that I am using at this very moment.[5] It certainly isn't hard to look for situations where people might call English a curse. An example is Australia, which is routinely regarded as a straightforward English-speaking country. The first Europeans who went there often used Latin to describe and discuss the place. The word Australia itself is Latin; evidently no one at the time thought of simply calling it "Southland" (which is what Australia means). In addition, in South Australia there is a wide stretch of landcalled the Nullarbor Plains, the first word of which sounds Aboriginal, but nullarbor is Latin and means "no trees". And most significantly of all, the early settlers called the continent a terra nullius. According to the Encarta World English Dictionary (1999) the Latin phrase terra nullius means: ... the idea and legal concept that when the first Europeans arrived in Australia the land was owned by no one and therefore open to settlement. It has been judged not to be legally valid.But that judgment was made only recently. When the Europeans arrived, Australia was thinly populated—but populated nonetheless—from coast to coast in every direction. There were hundreds of communities and languages. Many of these languages have died out, many more are in the process of dying out, and these dead and dying languages have been largely replaced by either kinds of pidgin English or general Australian English. Depending on your point of view, this is either a tragic loss or the price of progress.[6] At the same time, however, can the blame for the extinction of Aboriginal languages be laid specifically at the door of English? The first Europeans to discover Australia were Dutch, and their language might have become the language of colonization and settlement. Any settler language could have had the same effect. If for example the Mongols had sustained their vast Eurasian empire, Mongolian might have become a world language and gone to Australia. Again, if history had been somewhat different, today's world language might have been Arabic, a powerful language in West Asia and North Africa that currently affects many smaller languages, including Coptic and Berber. Spanish has adversely affected indigenous languages in so-called "Latin" America, and Russian has spread from Europe to the Siberian Pacific. If English is a curse and a killer, it may only be so in the sense that any large language is likely to influence and endanger smaller languages.[7] Yet many people see English as a blessing. Let me leave aside here the obvious advantages possessed by any world language, such as a large communicative network, a strong literary and media complex, and a powerful cultural and educational apparatus. Let us instead look at something rather different: the issue of politics, justice, and equality. My object lesson this time is South Africa. Ten years ago, South Africa ceased to be governed on principles of racial separateness, a system known in Afrikaans (a language derived from Dutch) as apartheid. The system arose because the Afrikaner community—European settlers of mainly Dutch descent—saw themselves as superior to the indigenous people of the land they had colonized.[8] English-speaking South Africans of British descent were not particularly strong in opposing the apartheid regime, and the black opposition, whose members had many languages, was at first weak and disorganized. However, the language through which this opposition gained strength and organization was English, which became for them the key language of freedom and unity, not of oppression. There are today eleven official languages in South Africa—English, Afrikaans, and nine vernacular languages that include Zulu, Ndebele, and Setswana. But which of these nine do black South Africans use (or plan to use) as their national lingua franca? Which do they wish their children to speak and write successfully (in addition to their mother tongues)? The answer is none of the above. They want English, and in particular they want a suitably Africanized English.[9] So, a curse for the indigenous peoples of Australia and something of a blessing for those in South Africa...[10] How then should we think of English in our globalizing world with its endangered diversities? The answer, it seems to me, is crystal clear. Like many things, English is at times a blessing and at times a curse—for individuals, for communities, for nations, and even for unions ofnations. The East Asian symbolism of yin and yang might serve well here: There is something of yang in every yin, of yin in every yang. Although they are opposites, they belong together: in this instance within the circle of communication. Such symbolism suggests that the users of the world's lingua franca should seek to benefit as fully as possible from the blessing and as far as possible avoid invoking the curse.

When he said the jury is out in the trial" (Line 3, Paragraph 4), McArthur meant ______.A. punishment is dueB. the jury is waiting for a trialC. no decision has been made yetD. there is no one to make the decision8. Australia might be used as an example to show that ______.A. languages are changing all the timeB. some English words are derived from LatinC. English has promoted the progress of some nationsD. English should be blamed for the extinction of smaller languages9. Many people see English as a blessing for people in ______.A. AustraliaB. East AsiaC. South AfricaD. ESL countries10. The main theme of this speech is that ______.A. English should be taught worldwideB. English as a world language does more harm than goodC. we should be objective to the internationalization of EnglishD. we should be aware of (realize) the danger of English as a world languageB. Questions on global understanding and logical structures1. Why does McArthur introduce Glanville Price and Robert Phillipson's points of view on the spread of English? What is his? Intention?McArthur quotes Price’s assertion and cites Pillipson’s viewpoint on the spread of English as sort of cons to initiate his argument. Cons are usually popularly believed arguments or opinions that are against the author’s point of view. Cons are commonly used writing techniques and are often employed in order to appeal the audience and highlight the author’sviewpoint.2. Does McArthur agree with what Price and Phillipson argued? From as early as which section does McArthur show his attitude? Toward the dominance of English as a world English?No. McArthur’s opinion is different from Price and Pillipson’s arguments. He doesn’t believe that English is a killer and should be blamed for the extinction of smaller languages. He seesEnglish as both a blessing and a curse, maybe as a blessing more than a curse. After introducing Price and Pillipson’s viewpoints, McArthur writes about his own ideas on the issue of En glish as a world language. From the sentence “For good or for ill, there has never been a language quite like English”, we can learn that McArthur does not curse English like Price and Pillipson and he has a different point of view.3. By reading "It certainly isn't hard to look for situations where people might call English a curse", could we conclude that McArthur believes English is a curse?No. This sentence is a kind of justification. Although McArthur literally justifies the fact that there are situ ations where people might call English a curse, he doesn’t believe that English is virtually a curse. By adding the word “certainly” McArthur shows his intent.4. Could you pick up some words and expressions that signal change or continuation in McArthur's thought?“For good or for ill”(paragraph 3) /“however”(paragraph 4) /“But”(paragraph 5) / “At the same time, however”(paragraph 6) /“Yet”(paragraph 7)5. How many parts can this speech be divided? How are the parts organized?Part One: paragraphs 1 and 2. These two paragraphs introduce the situation that many academics argue against English as a world language.Part Two: paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Paragraph three is a transitional paragraph that initiates McArthur’s own argument. In these pa ragraphs McArthur argues that English is not only a curse as many people have believed, but a blessing as well.Part Three: paragraph 10. McArthur concludes in the last paragraph that English may be a curse or a blessing depends on different situations and we should make advantages of world languages and avoid their disadvantages.II. VocabularyA. Choose the best word from the four choices to complete each of the following sentences.1. There has been much opposition from some social groups, ______ from the farming community.A. straightforwardlyB. notablyC. virtuallyD. exceptionally2. The ______ view in Britain and other Western countries associates aging with decline, dependency, isolation, and often poverty.A. predominantB. credulousC. inclusiveD. sustainable3. But gifts such as these cannot be awarded to everybody, either by judges or by the most ___ of governments./ reward rewardingA. toughB. demandingC. diverseD. benign4. The foreman read the ______ of guilty fourteen times, one for each defendant.A. prejudiceB. verificationC. verdictD. punishment5. They fear it could have a(n) ______ effect on global financial markets.A. sizeableB. adverse(negative)C. beneficialD. consequential6. The UN threatened to ______ economic sanctions if the talks were broken off.A. engageB. pursueC. abandon/ abundantD. invoke7. There are at least four crucial differences between the new ______ and the old government.A. regimeB. hegemonyC. complexD. federation/ fedal<->federal, confederate)8. These questions ______ a challenge to established attitude of superiority toward the outside world.A. evolveB. constituteC. tolerateD. aroused9. Because of this, a strong administrative ______ was needed to plan the use of scarce resources, organize production and regulate distribution.A. apparatusB. constitutionC. insistenceD. promotion10. I learnt that there are no genuinely ______ animals in this area, all the animals were brought here from other places.A. endangeredB. domesticatedC. indigenousD. extinctB. Choose the hest word or expression from the list given for each Honk Use each word or expression only once and make proper changes where necessary.point up by and large take in descent for good or illleave aside crystal clear die out endanger lay... at the door of1. The book concludes with a review of the possible impact (influence) of more intimate computers for good or ill, in various areas of human life.2. Moreover, it had become clear from the opinion polls that the unpopularity of the new tax was being laid at the door of the government which had introduced it, rather than the local authorities who were responsible for levying and collecting it.3. This case gave the example of breaking someone's arm: that is a really serious injury, but one which is unlikely to endanger the victim's life.4. Many of those who hold it live in poor areas and some are Colored, that is (i.e./ namely), of mixed European and African descent.5. This debate is important because it points up (stress/ emphasize) that "the facts" are not necessarily as simple and straightforward as they might at first sight seem.6. In the beginning, the meaning of life might be debated, but once past the first period, many of the conversations follow a well-worn route from one topic to the next and back again, taking in most of human life.7. But since agriculture forms the basis (base) of our industry, it was, by and large (on the whole), also an intensification of the crisis in the national economy in general.8. Let us leave aside other relevant factors such as education, career structure, pay and conditions of service and concentrate on (focus on) manpower management.(relate A to B)9. It is true that the exact nature of this issue is uncertain. However, one thing is crystal clear: it will not endanger the planet and its inhabitants.10. But if animal populations are too small, then they simply die out.III. ClozeThere are ten blanks in the following passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices given for each blank. [criteria: (1)semantic/ (2)grammatic]A simplified form of the English language based on 850 key words was developed in the late 1920s by the English psychologist Charles Kay Ogden and 1 by the English educator I. A. Richards. Known as Basic English, it was used mainly to teach English to non-English-speaking persons and 2 as an international language. The complexities of English spelling and grammar, however, were major 3 to the adoption of Basic English as a second language.The fundamental principle of Basic English was that any idea, 4 complex, may be reduced to simple units of thought and expressed clearly by a limited number of everyday words. The 850-word primary vocabulary was 5 600 nouns (representing things or events), 150 adjectives (for qualities and _ 6 ), and 100 general "operational" words, mainly verbs and prepositions. Almost all the words were in 7 use in English-speaking countries. More than 60 percent of them were one-syllable words. The basic vocabulary was created 8 by eliminating 9 the use of 18 "basic" verbs, such as make, get, do, have, and be.Numerous words which have the same or similar meanings and by verbs, such as make, get, do, have, and be. These verbs were generally combined with prepositions, such as up, among, under, in, and forward. For example, a Basic English student would use the expression “go up”10 "ascend". (Semantic / grammatical criterion)1. A. created B. publicized C. invented D. operated2. A. proved B. provided C. projected D. promoted3. A. advantages B. objections C. obstacles D. facileties4.

Unit 1Part Ⅰ Reading for InformationPre-Reading QuestionsText: For Big Bruno,a Man We Can Look Up ToExercisesReading Strategies (1): Skimming and ScanningFOR BIG BRUNO, A MAN WE CAN LOOK UP TOJun 19, 2005 8:00 PM EDTHis ocean-blue eyes and pale white skin, topped by a head of light brown hair, can throw you off. You're certain when you look at him that you are beholding a guero (white man). But after just a few sentences, his accent is hard to miss.Bruno Sandoval came to this country from Mexico almost 50 years ago. He was a strapping 18-year-old lad, aiming for something as great as his six-foot-tall frame. The United States offered that. Hard work did not intimidate him, so he took a job in Texas driving a tractor for 50 cents an hour. He returned home to finish his schooling, then ventured back in 1962, this time to Chicago, where he worked for a dollar an hour in a cold-storage warehouse. Then for $1.25 an hour in an auto-parts factory. Then $1.50 an hour storing Christmas decorations in a warehouse, $1.75 an hour as a welder for General Motors and $2 an hour as a punch-press operator for General Electric. His life continuously illustrated that hard work pays off.Ultimately, he put his talents to work in the rail yards as a mechanic for Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and then Santa Fe. He met my mother, Carmen, at a neighborhood dance and they married in 1967, when she was 20 and he was 27. A year later, daughter Marie arrived. Five years later, I was born. By then my dad owned a three-flat apartment building in the city. When he sold it in 1976 to move us to California (the warm climate enticed him) for a job with Amtrak, he was able to pay cash for our new house. Bruno would never know a mortgage payment.My dad is retired now. But what I remember most about his working days is that he never complained about his job. He was up at 5 every morning without an alarm clock, and back at 3 or 4 in the afternoon to mow the lawn, chat with neighbors and watch his beloved documentaries on PBS.He may be strong in stature, but my dad has always had a gentle spirit. The neighborhood kids used to line up so he could lift them one at a time into the air with one arm. He was known as Big Bruno, and he remains the most patient man I have ever known. He is slow to anger and has a heart of gold. You rarely hear insults or criticism from his mouth. He may not have the most sophisticated vocabulary (his native Spanish will always be more familiar to him), but that has not stopped him from accumulating a multitude of friends throughout the years. Phone call after phone call comes from former co-workers or gym buddies or neighbors. My normally quiet father chats and laughs exuberantly, and I imagine that they are doing the same. These men have found a treasure in my father. A role model and a true friend.They say that actions speak louder than words, and observing the kind of life that my father has lived has influenced me more than any lecture he could have given. I do not remember a time when he sat me on his lap and imparted a life lesson, but spending even an hour with him leaves me with the feeling that he is a man who understands his role in the world. He defines that role as being someone who does good, loves everyone and doesn't expect anything in return.At times his temperament has confounded me. How could life's ups and downs not cause Big Bruno to raise his voice or get his feathers ruffled? Shouldn't the man who could bench-press 405 pounds act gruff or angry or macho? About the extent of his gruffness toward me was when we'd go to the beach and he'd put me on his shoulders and run straight into the ocean--as I screamed all the way. I didn't like the deep, scary water. He never seemed to fear it.My brother, who was born in 1980, is now the spitting image of my father. He's also named Bruno, and at 6 feet 7 inches tall, he, too, is a gentle giant. In church on a recent Sunday, as the pastor spoke about "running the good race" and living a life that would please God, my brother turned to me in tears. Our dad had completed a 26-mile bike ride that morning (he's in better shape at 64 than many 24-year-olds). My brother said, "Liz, that's Dad. He's finishing the good race."Baseball players like Sammy Sosa can earn more in one game than my father did in any given year of his life. I compare the toiling and sacrifice of Sosa and Sandoval and, well, there is no comparison. I look around at those we call heroes, and I am convinced that thetitle is handed out too freely. Professional athletes and singers and movie stars can provide inspiration, but the title "hero" should be reserved for a man like my father, who shows us what it means to work tirelessly for his loved ones. That is a life to be admired. That is a hero. So here is a thank-you to all the Bruno Sandovals of the world. Happy Father's Day.Unit 2Part Ⅰ Reading for InformationPre-Reading QuestionsText: My Miraculous LifeExercisesMy Miraculous LifeI never considered myself unique, but people are constantly telling me, "you area miracle." To me, I was just an ordinary "guy" with realistic goals and big dreams. I was a 19-year-old student at the University of Texas and well on my way toward fulfilling my "big dream" of one day becoming an orthopedic surgeon.我从未觉得自己与众不同,但人们常对我说:“你的生命是个奇迹。

Quotations
Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them. What is important to a child is not the material things that he/she is given, but the feelings of being loved. Parental love will accompany a child for the rest of his/her life.
General ideas : 1.each unit is expected to be covered within two weeks( four periods ,180M) 2.all readings except the passage for fast reading should be finished by students on your own before class. 3.It is not necessary to go through every reading sentence by sentence.
ቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱ
Many things we need can wait, the child cannot. Now is the time his bones are formed, his mind developed. To him we cannot say tomorrow, his name is today. Parents may have a lot of things to do, but looking after a child should be the top of priority. This is because the child is right in the process of physical and mental growth. We cannot delay our attention to him/her even for one day.
