《全新版大学英语(第二版)快速阅读1》部分原文A Country of ImmigrantsAs you walk along the street in any American city,you see many different faces.You see oriental faces of the United States,a country of immigrants from all over the world.Immigrants are people who leave one country to live permanently in another country.The first immigrants came to North America in the 1600s from northern European countries such as England and Holland.These people generally hadlight skin and light hair.They came to live in North America because they wanted religious freedom.In the 1700s and early 1800s immigrants continued to move from Europe to the United States.At this time there was one group of unwilling immigrants,black Africans.These people were tricked or forced to come to the United States,where they worked on the large farms in thesouth.The blacks had no freedom;they were slaves.In the 1800s many Chinese and Irish immigrants came to the United States.They came because of economic or political problems in their countries.The most recent immigrants to the UnitedStates,the Indochinese,Cubans,and Central Americans also came because of economic or political problems in their own countries.Except for theblacks,most of these immigrants thought of the United States as a land of opportunities,of a chance for freedom and new lives.In the United States,these immigrants looked for help from other immigrants who shared the same background,language,andreligion.Therefore,there are neighborhoods in each U.S. city made up almost entirely of one ethnic or racial group.There are all Italian,all Puerto Rican,or all Irish neighborhoods in many East Coast cities and all Mexican neighborhoods in the Southwest.In Dearborn,Michigan,there is a large group of Lebanese.There are racial neighborhoods such as oriental Chinatown in New York.There are also neighborhoods with a strong religious feeling such as a Jewish part of Brooklyn in New York.And,of course,there are economic neighborhooddivisions;in American cities very often poor people do not live in the same neighborhoods as rich people.This wide variety of neighborhoods in the cities is a reflection of the different groups in American society. American society is a mixture ofracial,language,cultural,religious,and economicgroups.People sometimes call America a melting pot and compare its society to a soup with many different ingredients.The ingredients (differentraces,cultures,religions,and economicgroups)supposedly mix together to make a smooth soup.But,in reality,there are a few lumps left in the soup.Andrew CarnegieOne of the captains of industry of 19th century America,AndrewCarnegie,helped build the American steel industry,a process that turned a poor young man into one of the richestentrepreneurs of his age. Later in his life,Carnegie sold hie steel business and systematically gave his fortune away to cultural,educational and scientific institutions for “the improvement of mankind.”Carnegie was born in Dunfermline,Scotland,in 1835.The town was a center of the linenindustry,and Andrew?s father was a weaver,a profession the young Carnegie was expected to follow.But the industrial revolution that would later make Carnegie the richest man in the world,destroyed the weavers? craft.When the steam-powered looms came to Dunfermline in 1847,hundreds of handloom weavers became unemployed.Andrew?s mother opened a small grocery shop and mended shoes to support the family.“I began to learn what poverty meant,”Andrew would later write.”It was burnt into my heart then that my father had to beg for work.And then and there came the determination that I would cure when I got to be a man.”The family moved to the United States in 1848,and began a new life inPittsburgh,Pennsylvania.William Carnegie secured work in a cotton factory and his son Andrew took work in the same building as a bobbin boy for $1.20 a ter,Carnegie worked as a messenger boy in the city?s telegraphoffice.He did each job to the best of his ability and seized every opportunity to take on new responsibilities.For example,he memorized Pittsburgh?s street layout as well as the important name and addresses of those he delivered to.Carnegie often was asked to deliver messages to the theater.He arranged to make these deliveries at night-and stayed on to watch plays by Shakespeare and other great writers.In what would be a life-long pursuit of knowledge,Carnegie also took advantage of a small library that a local benefactor made available to working boys.One of the men Carnegie met at the telegraph office was ThomasA.Scott,then a director at Pennsylvania Railroad.Scott was taken by the young worker and referred to him as “my boy Andy,”hiring him as his private secretary and personal telegrapher at $35 a month.“I couldn?t imagine,”Carnegie said many years later,”what I could ever do with so muchmoney.”Carnegie was always eager to shoulder new responsibilities,and he worked his way up the ladder in Pennsylvania Railroad and succeeded Scott as head of the Pittsburgh Division.As the outbreak of the Civil War,Scott was responsible for military transportation for the North and Carnegie worked as his right-hand man.The Civil War fueled the iron industry,and by the time the war wasover,Carnegie saw thepotential in the field and resigned from Pennsylvania Railroad.It was one of many brave moves that would typify Carnegie?s life in industry and earn him his fortune.He then turned his attention to the Keystone Bridge Company,which worked to replace wooden bridges with stronger iron ones.In three years he had an annual income of $50,000.Carnegie would continue making huge amounts of money for the next 30 years.To improve the efficiency of his steel plant,Carnegie would make use of the Bessemer Process,which was the first cheap process for mass-producing steel.Carnegie threw his own money into the process and even borrowed heavily to build a new steel plant near Pittsburgh.Carnegie was strict in keeping down costs and managed by the saying “watch costs and the profits take care of themselves.”“I thi nk Carnegie?s genius was first of all,an ability to foresee how things were going tochange,”says historian John Ingram. “Once he saw that something was of potential benefit to him,he was willing to invest enormously in it.”Still,Carnegie?s steel plants developed rapidly,and by 1900,Carnegie Steel produced more of the metal than all of Great Britain.That was also the year that financier J.P.Morgan issued a major challenge to Carnegie?s steel empire.While Carnegie believed he could beat Morgan in a battle that couldlast five,10 or 15 years,the fight did not appeal to the 64-year-old man eager to spend more time with his wife Louise,whom he had married in 1886 at the age of 51,and their daughter,Margaret.Carnegie wrote the asking price for his steel business on a piece of paper and had one of hismanagers deliver the offer to Morgan.Morgan accepted immediately,buying the company for $480 million. “Congratulations,Mr.Carnegie,”Morgan said to Carnegie when they finali zed the deal, “you are now the richest man in the world.”Carnegie liked to say that “the man who dies rich dies disgraced,”and turned his attention to giving away his fortune.He disliked charity,and instead put his money to use helping others help themselves.That was the reason he spent much of his fortune on establishing over 2,500 publiclibraries as well as supporting institutions of higher learning.By the time Carnegie?s life was over,he gave away 350million dollars.I.M.PeiI.M.Pei is sitting in his living room and is talking about architecture or the designing of buildings. “It is not just an idea,but the way in which that idea is done,that is important.This is what I mean by the ?architecture of ideas.?I worry that ideas and the practice of architecture as a profession,as a business,do not come together often enough.”He stops,then adds: “Maybe my early training set me back.Maybe it made me too practical.”That is an unexpected comment from a man like Pei,who runs a business that employs manypeople and has important customers all over the world.I.M.Pei questioning the value of money.Yet his company,I.M.Pei &Partners,is more than just abusiness that designs buildings.It has always tried to bring together beauty and art with business sense,and today it is probably the leaderamong American architecture companies that do very well both artistically and commercially.It is hard enough to become well know either as an artistic or as a business success in architecture:to do so as both is unusual and surprising.I.M.Pei,a leader in his field for more than thirty years,seems to get better and busier as the years go by.One reason for his success is that he is well known as a kind and thoughtful person.But it is also because of the seriousness of his work.He believes in improving on and developing from styles and designs that have been used before,not in newness for its ownpanies hire himbecause they believe that his designs are strong and modern without being shocking.Pei?s style is based on geometric forms,like most of the architecture of modern times.But he has continued to use these forms while other important architects have begun to change theirstyles,making use of the forms of architecture from other countries and other periods in history.Ieoh Ming Pei was born in China in 1917,but he calls himself “an American architect -absolutely.”He went to the United States in 1935 to studyarchitecture,and remained there because of the war.In the late1940s he got a very good job and decided to become an American citizen.He has lived in New York since then,but he never forgotten the land of his childhood.In 1978 Pei was invited to design s hotel in China.It was a very difficult thing for him to do beca use “there seems to be only two choices - either to copy the old Chinese style with red columns and golden roofs or to build modern Western buildings.I do not think either of these is right.There has to be a third way.”Pei?s “third way”is very much li ke traditional Chinese architecture.It uses the same kinds ofmaterials and forms,and is only different in one important aspect:it well have a flat roof instead of a curved one because that kind is safer and less expensive.In New York City,IM.Pei&Partners will build a convention center,that is,a large building for meetings and shows that will be much bigger than the hotel in Beijing,and in some ways much simpler.In fact,the biggest problem is that the center may look too much like a large box.Therefore they are working to create a number of public areas within the one huge space.These will be used for other things even when there are no special meetings or shows,and will make the building itself into a tourist attraction.It is possible that Pei?s way of working may soon change,becoming morelike one or the other of the two major modern directions.He might decide to make more use of the styles and ideas of the architecture of older cultures (as he did with his hotel in China)or he might decide to treat his buildings even more artistically (as he did the Kennedy Library in Boston).But it does not seem likely that Pei?s work will move strongly in either direction.He believes his work gives hiscustomers what they want and he tries to make his buildings fit the jobs they are supposed to do.Internet Love Can WorkI had heard of the chat room on the Internet,but it had never appealed to me.Talking to total strangers that you cannot see struck me as too strange.One day I was surfing the net,when Idiscovered MSN?s chat rooms and making up a nickname decided to just watch and see what all the fuss was about.There on the screen were twenty or so people who were chatting away about anything and everything.As I studied the conversations,afraid to join on and expose myself as a “newbie”,I was drawn to one person.She was intelligent,witty and expressed a love of the UK,my home.Her name was Linda and she was from California,a part of the States I had never seen butwas interested in.So summoning up all my courage,I said hi and introduced myself.We began to chat and I found that it was very relaxed to the point that I was amazed when the conversation ended.We had been chatting for two whole hours,totally ignoring everyone else in the room.We parted company,saying that we hoped we would bump into each other again.All that next day,I wondered ifthat was just a polite goodbye or if she really wanted to continue our conversation.That evening I logged on,half of me hoping Linda would be there,the other half afraid that she wouldn?t.Sure enough,she wasn?t in the chat room and I sat at the computer screen only half reading the conversations that flashed up before me.Then Linda?s name appeared and with the usual “Hi room”, she said “Hi Vince”.My life suddenly became brighter in that instant.I kepttelling myself it was crazy,here was a woman I only just met,hardly knew and yet I had missed her all day.We chatted again,and the hours vanished,with the other chatters leaving us alone in the room.I had dated quite a few times in my then twenty-five years of life,but never had anyone taken my interest so completely as this stranger from across the sea.We discussed everything,ourlikes,dislikes,our troubles and our pleasures and the more we talked the more amazed we became at how much we had in common.Weeks went by and every evening we would meet up and talk,the two hours becoming three,then four.We exchanged pictures,but were both afraid we would blow it by doing so.And ,as I looked at her picture on my screen,I was amazed at the fact that no one had snapped up this American beauty in the years since her graduation from college.The weeks had become months and we both admitted we had feelings for each other,our friendship becoming something far greater.Then came the time that anyone who ever had an Internet relationship will know...the meeting.Linda had said that she would fly to the UK to meet me,but I insisted that I flew to the States.I explained to her my fears that should she come to me and for some reason we didn?t hit it off,then she would be a woman alone in a strange country where as for a guy it wouldn?t be so bad.Linda finally agreed and a week or two later I found myself on a plane winging my way to San Diego.We had arranged that I would be met by her brother who would drop me off at my hotel and that I would ring her once I had freshened up and she would come over and we would go out for a meal.Forty five minutes of pacing up and down after I made the call,there was a knock on the door.I opened the door to the most beautiful woman I had ever known.Both of us were nervous when we kissed hello.We looked into each other?s eyes and thatkiss became another filled with all the emotions that had developed over the months of online chatting.I stayed for two weeks taking Linda out after she finished work at the local hospital.And we fell head over heels in love.I returned home,and missed Linda like crazy,the online chat now seeming so pale in comparison with holding the woman I loved in my arms.Linda missed me too and so I jumped on a plane and went back this time for a month.This went on for five visits and each time I would extend my return ticket because we couldn?t bear to part.感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

英文快速阅读方法(全英文)
Speed-Reading TechniquesI was a Bible college student when one of our chapels featured a guest speaker who taught us how to speed-read. At the time I didn’t need the skill since most collateral reading assignments in my courses were under 500 pages, but I started practicing just for the fun of it– sort of like a private parlor game. However all that changed when I wound up in graduate school at Princeton Seminary and several Profs. expected me to read several thousand pages of collateral alongwith the fi ve or six textbooks. That’s when I got serious about speed reading. Here is the collection of what I practiced then, and picked up since. The first thing I had to do was toss away the reading myths I had held so long.Reading Myths1. Reading is linear. I had always figured reading wasa linear process; you know, start up front and grind through to thevery end in the exact order it was printed in. Reading is no morelinear than thinking is, (or I eventually discovered, than writing; few writers start at the beginning —indeed, they usually ―write the first part last.‖2. True reading is word-for-word. I started as a kidlooking at individual letters. They didn’t help much. Next I started sounding out syllables. Finally, I could read whole words. Why stopw ith words? Well, I know one reason… I had a college professor who madeus swear we had ―Read every single word‖ of our collateral reading. Why? He didn’t make us swear we’d ―read every single letter.‖ The answer is simple: that professor (like me) had never moved from letters, syllables, and words, to reading phrases, sentences and paragraphs. He assumed the only way to read thoroughly was by the laborious method of reading one word at a time.3. Reading is a laborious task which takes a long time. Not at all! Reading can be both fun and fast. Indeed, speed reading is like auto racing — it is far more exciting.4. All parts of a book are of equal value. This mythpersists until you actually write your own book. Then, all at once you realize there is ―filler‖ material , illustrations, and even sometimes whole chapters jammed into a book just because the publisher insisted. Take messages for instance. Ever hear a message and wish you could putit on fast forward over that long story illustrating a point youalready understand? Well, in reading you can fast forward.5. Reading faster will reduce retention. Sorry. Itshould be that way, shouldn’t it? Those who groan slowly through a bookpainstakingly sounding out every single word, maybe even moving theirlips, should get a greater reward shouldn’t they? Sorry. In fact, speed reading techniques will increase one’s comprehension and retention.Getting Ready to ReadSo, we’re ready to read. But don’t read the book yet. There are a few steps to take first.FIRST: ELIMINA TE ALL DISTRACTIONS: Get rid of ANYthingyour mind could think about besides the reading material. Is there conversation? Activity? TV? An uncomfortable seat? Music in the background? (OK OK, I know many of my readers are college students whoclaim th ey ―study better‖ with music in the background. Go ahead and claim it —but you are wrong. Y ou might ―like it‖ better, but you donot study better. ANYthing which might occupy your mind waters downyour concentration —even occupying your ―mind-in-backgrou nd.‖ Foolyourself if you wish — but if you really are serious about reading faster, eliminate distractions.SECOND: Ask: What is my purpose? Why are you readingthis? And what kind of literature is it? Is it a classic or fictionwork you are reading for fun? Then, why hurry through it at all? Like a leisurely meal, sit back and taste each bite — turn over the delicious phrases in your mind. Or is collateral reading for a course where you are must be familiar with the central notions? Then finding the notions is why you are reading, right? Or maybe you are reading collateralwhere you will be tested on the content? Or maybe collateral reading where you will be required to say, ―I read every single word?‖ Or isthis a book where you will be tested on the terms and dates therein? Or, maybe you are just reading the book searching for some new ideas for your own situation. Or you have to write a review. Or maybe you plan to teach it to others. See how different your purpose might be for each? Before you open the book, take a minute to state your purpose to yourself. It will largely determine how you read the book from then on.THIRD: Do a 10 minute PRE-READ. Take ten minutes orless and pre-read the entire book. Go ahead and try this if you’venever done it before. Treat a book like a jigsaw puzzle. Dump it out, then organize all the pieces first before putting it together. Read the dust cover and any cover reviews. Then look through the author blurb. Move to the Table of Contents and see if you can figure out the whole book from this page. Page through the entire book, page by page and glance through all summaries, tables, pull-out quotes,diagrams(especially), and scan through all the section titles and you go.Chances are you’ll find the KEY CHAPTER while you are doing this. Some publishers say (off the record, of course) ―A book is simply one great chapter with a dozen other filler chapters.‖ If this is so, find that chapter.FOURTH: Read the KEY CHAPTER. Start using the rapid reading techniques mentioned later to read this KEY CHAPTERthrough.Y ou are not obligated to wait until you have read all the chapters before this one, as if you must eat your green beans before the ice cream. The book is yours — go ahead and get the central idea before you start!Once you’ve read the key chapter you are ready to read the rest. In order from the front to the back, or in some other order which better suits your purpose. Now for some actual reading tips tips.III. Rapid Reading Techniques1. Raise your speed- comfort level. How comfortableare you speeding in a car? How fast do you have to go before you feel you are ―on the edge?‖ 70 MPH? 90? 120? How about 210 MPH, the speedthe Indy car drivers can average? Get the point? Some people have learned to drive faster; their comfort level has been raised. Y ou cando the same thing for reading. Face it, speed-reading isn’t mostly about technique; it is about mind set. Indeed this may be the reason you can play a CD while reading — you are merely driving along at25MPH. Can you imagine an Indy car driver playing music in the background? No. The driver focuses all his or her skills on the track.If you are out for a Sunday afternoon stroll in your book, then ignore this. But if you are serious about becoming a speed-reader, then start expecting more of yourself.2. See the book as a mine full of ORE not GOLD. Booksoffer wonderful gold to the prospector. But the reader must sort through tons of ore to find and refine the gold. The speed reader changes mindsets: quits fooling around with the ore and searches for the gold. What is a book anyway? What are words? They are ―carriers‖ oftruth, thoughts, ideas, a thesis, information, terms, concepts, notions. One reads a book to get the message, not to obsess on the words. (I’m tempted here to talk about Bible study, but we shall let it pass this time.) Switch your mindset to looking for the gold.3. Quit Subvocalizing. Most of us learned to read bysounding out the words. The trouble is, most of us never stopped. Sure, maybe we no longer audibly sound them out, or even move our lips, but in our heads we are ―reading to ourselves.‖ We have learned to read by Mouth-and-Ear. To become a speed reader one must discard this habit (orat least reduce it) and adopt the eye-and-mind method. It is mostly a matter of mind set. Instead of acting like the ear (even in one inside your head) is the route to the mind, begin believing that the eye isthe gate to the mind. Start drinking in books through your eyes. Letthe books pass into the mind directly from the eye, skipping the mouth and ears. Go ahead and start trying it.4. Use your finger. For most beginning speed-readersthis is a shock. They remember reading in grade school with their finger and assume it slows one down. Actually the finger is your pacecar. It leads you forward at a speedy pace, and keeps you on focus and avoiding back-skipping. There are several ways to use your finger (or hand) but just try it out for starters. As you improve, buy one of the books on speed-reading and settle on the pattern which works best for you.5. Break the Back-skip habit. Most of us read along aline of type like this one to get the interpretation of the meaning,but as we read our eyes jump back to dwell on a word we just passed. Wedo this without knowing it. In fact, probably the only way to discover how many times you back skip is to have someone watch you read and count the eye-darts back. But, unless you have someone you feel pretty comfortable staring you in the face while you read, just trust me –you probably back-skip. How to stop? First confess you do it. Then start recognizing when you do it. Finally when tempted to back-skip, treat the book like a movie — that is, even if you miss something in a movie, you don’t stop the video and replay it. Y ou just le t it flow on through, hoping you’ll make it up later.6. Use your peripheral vision. Just like you must develop a muscle in the gym, so your mind can be trained to use the eye-gate to take in a broader amount of data. For instance, instead of reading leftto right across the lines, pretend there is a line right down themiddle of this page and you are following the line. Let your eye takein through peripheral vision the phrases to the right or left. Can youdo it? With practice you can train your mind to r ead on ―both sides of the road‖ even though your eyes are on the center line. To practicethis skill most speed readers actually draw lines down pages of a book until they have mastered the skill with an invisible line. Let your mind drink in the information on the page without looking directly at it —just like you ―see‖ the sides of the road when driving an automobile.7. Learn to read KEY WORDS. 40-60% of the words on apage are neither critical nor important. Indeed, if someone tookwhite-out and hid them from your sight, you could still figure out what the paragraph was communicating. So, it stands to reason that if you could figure out which are these KEY WORDS you could scan past the other words and let your mind fill in the blank. Train your mind to find these key words and you’ll add even more speed to your reading.8. Eliminate ―Bus Stops‖ (Eye rests). As your eyesread down this line they stop periodically and ―rest‖ on a word. Children’s eyes often rest on every single word as they learn to read. Then as you grow your eyes move smoothly down the line like a lawn mower, then you stop a split second on a word, then start back up again. Most reader never get over this habit, but like a bus stoppingat every corner, it slows down your progress. Try to reduce your eye rests to 3-4 per line, maybe even less as you get better… keep the eye moving smoothly line after line, letting your mind drink in the knowledge on the line.9. Take breaks. The research is clear. Steady readinghour after hour is less efficient than taking a five minute break every hour or less. Sit down to read 100 pages in the next hour. Set an alarm even. Then reward yourself with a cookie or sandwich when you’ve reached your goal in 60 minutes.10. Set a time goal. Have a 300 page book to read?Decide how fast you’ll read it. If you are not a speedy reader, maybe you’ll only set the US average reading speed as your goal: one page a minute (250 words/min.). Or if you are already an above average reader, set 100 pages an hour and plunge in. If you picked 100 pages an hour, that’s 50 in a half hour, 17 per 10 minutes or 1.7 pages per minute. Keep on track… pretend like you are in an auto race… push yourself, concentrate, get yourself out there on the ―racer’s edge‖ — the linejust short of out-of-control, yet still in command. Do it; it will be exciting!IV Retention Techniques1. Underline, circle, make margin notes. Nothighlighting the whole page like some students do! Usually you will not mark more than two or three items per page, and many pages will have nomarkings. Marking pages increases recall — do you have a marked-up Bible? If you do, you can almost ―see‖ the page in your head when recalling it. Marking helps. (Highlighting may help — your own markings, however, are probably superior).2. Dog-ear important pages. In a 250 page book therewill probably be 25 pages worth dog-earing. Turn down the page to return later. The bigger the dog-ear the more important the page. Most books have only four or five half-page-dog ears.3. Transfer key notes to front of book. Got a greatpoint here? The central message? The quote which essentially representsthe whole book? Write it down in the front of the book. Why? Generally speaking when it comes to new information you either ―Use it or lose it in 20 minutes.‖ When you discover it, flip the book open to the front and scribble it down; it will cement the notion into your mind. Better yet, link it to something you already know and write that down too. Linked information can be recalled far better than isolated information.4. When finished, re-read dog-eared pages. Just run back through and re-read the gold. Here is the essence of the book (if you made judgements right going through).5. Now write an ―abstract‖ in the back or front. Y ou arefinishe d! Go for a pizza… but not just yet. Take a few more minutes andwrite an ―abstract‖ up front in your own words. When the writer submitted the proposal for this book, he or she probably actually had a single paragraph or page, outlining what this book was all about. To summarize the book, simply ―reverse engineer‖ the book back to the author’s abstract or thesis.6. Consider drawing a ―MindMap‖ of the contents. Ifyou are going to be tested on this book, get someone to teach you how to use Tony Buzan’s ―Mind Map‖ to remember the entire book on a singlepage. Remember, the mind mostly recalls ideas and pictures, not words.A Mind Map will enable you to ―picture‖ the whole book and you’ll looklike you posses a ―photographic‖ (which you really don’t need, if y ou simply follow the advice in this article).7. But if you borrowed the book, and can’t mark it,dog-ear it, or otherwise ―use‖ this took — then use 3M stickers instead of dog-ears, and write your comments on half-sheets of paper as you go.Finally,remember this: speed-reading is not some magical secret you can pick upin ten minutes and Presto! Y ou now can read 1000 words per minute. True, you can learn to read faster; perhaps double your presentspeed in two weeks. But to become a life-long rapid reader (like becoming a proficient race car driver) takes time, concentration and practice. This short article can get you started, but to really become expert you’ll need to practice plenty.To help you develop this skill further try one of the many books on rapid reading. (Y ou only need one to start with, most all articles (likethis one) books and courses basically cover similar techniques.)。

比尔的同代人，即使是在那个年龄，都能看出他的与众不同。
每年，他和朋友们都要去夏令营。
比尔特别喜爱游泳运动等。
他的一位在夏令营的朋友回忆道，“他绝不会是个不足挂齿或无足轻重之人。
我们都晓得比尔比我们聪颖。
甚至在更早的时候，当他九、十岁时，言谈就如同成人一般他说的话有时我们感到高深莫测。
在数学和自然方面比尔比同班同学也更胜一筹。
他需要上一所对他充满挑战的学校。
随即父母决定送他去湖畔中学—一所专门招收超常男生的学校。
这是西雅图一所限制最严的学校，它以严格的课程要求而著称，是个“连哑童都聪明的”地方。
湖畔中学允许学生们按自己兴趣自由发挥，去通达他们希望的极至。
令校方骄傲的是他们所创造的环境及设施使学生们能充分发挥各自的潜能。
这是像比尔·盖茨这样学生的理想环境。
1968年，学校做出的一项决定改变了13岁的比尔·盖茨的生活——同时也改变了许多其他的人。
学校主要家长提供的资金通过一种电传打字机进入电脑——即程序数据处理机。
在电传打字机上键入几条指令，几秒钟后程序数据处理机即会反馈回信息。
比尔·盖茨当即就着了迷——他那时最要好的朋友坎特——他那时最要好的朋友坎特·埃文斯和另一名长他两岁的学生保罗·艾伦也是如此。
他们不管有没有空，都要赶到电脑室去用用那台机器。
这些学生非常专注，以至于在电脑方面的知识都超过了老师，同时因为他们的执著也带来了不少麻烦。
他们忽略了其他的课程——每项作业都迟迟才交，有时还旷课。

英语快速阅读英语快速阅读 (15篇)英语快速阅读 1大学英语四六级快速阅读冲刺技巧快速阅读，就是在有限的时间内找到所需要的信息——既强调速度(Speed)又强调准确度(Accuracy)。
根据大纲要求，快速阅读主要考察的技巧是查读(Scanning)和略读(Skimming)。
因为熟练掌握这两种阅读方法，能够把阅读的目的更直接地投入到阅读的过程之中，从而更有效地提高阅读速度，同时提高阅读的准确度。
因此，提高略读和查读的能力，有助于我们平时学习时快速查找资料或自己所需要的信息。
1) 略读步骤所谓略读，顾每思义是一种省略的读法。
略读，能够让你以最快的速度阅读，选择性地遗漏某些细节内容，目的是获得文章的主旨大意。
在回答主旨题目的时候，略读就能派上用场。
不仅如此，进行略读有助于我们了解文章的大意、作者的观点，这样对我们做推论题也大有裨益。
这种选择性的阅读方法，特点是“省略细节找主旨”，注重对全文整体内容的把握。
但是，这里需要强调，“省略细节”是选择性的省略。
因为主旨也是可以从一些细节中透露出来的，所以有些细节是有助于我们掌握大意的。
那么在略读的过程中，关键点就是更多地关注并抓住文章中这些标志性的词句，例如文章的标题、章节标题、斜体字、黑体字、每段的开头和结尾、以及文章中能够代表观点的句子。
而其他的个别生词和介绍性质的语句(如说明时间、地点等的词汇)则可以略过。
总之，在采用略读方法的时候，往往能够帮助我们确定：文章的主题和作者的观点(属于主旨题)，文章的结构和作者的风格(属于推论题)。
而在略读时，可以遵循以下步骤：a。
快速阅读文章第一、二段，抓住文章大意、背景和作者风格，因为作者一般会在文章开头几段概述全文;b。
快速浏览找出每段的中心句和几件事实，抓住一两个关键词，如果文中段落大意没有用一句话总结，就自己归纳出大意，在可能蕴含全文主旨的部分进行仔细阅读;c。
注意转折词和序列词，有助于我们了解文章的脉络;d。

U11无2在佛罗伦萨这个城市里，吃的、睡的、和呼吸的都是艺术。
人类艺术天赋的典范几乎矗立在每一条街上，成打的博物馆和美工艺品店等待着您去探索。
意大利的佛罗伦萨是艺术爱好者的天堂。
在文艺复兴时期（或称艺术重生时期），佛罗伦萨对艺术家们本身就是个天堂，事实上在五百多年前，文艺复兴就在这儿发迹了。
在这之前，艺术作品完全集中在宗教主题上，而文艺复兴时期的艺术则包含更多变化的风貌，艺术家们描绘一般人物的画像，也绘画希腊罗马神话中的历史和人物。
米开朗基罗是佛罗伦萨艺术家中的佼佼者。
游客们在阿卡得米亚博物馆前大排长龙达好几个钟头之久，为了一睹他感人的大作「大卫像」的丰采，这一尊十四英尺高的雕像已经成为文艺复兴时期最完美的一尊人物塑像，「大卫像」是一种典范，表现出米开朗基罗雕塑人像简洁而有力的风格。
在维琪奥宫可以看到更多米开朗基罗的作品，这栋建筑在1299年至1322年曾是佛罗伦萨政府的所在地。
著名意大利艺术家的画作和雕刻作品，摆满了宫中的各厅室。
米开朗基罗也协助装饰其外观，他在宫墙上雕刻头像，有一个传说提到，为了跟人打赌，米开朗基罗背对着墙，两手背在后面雕刻头像。
离维琪奥宫不远的地方座落着翡冷翠教堂广场。
华丽圆顶的翡冷翠教堂，或称「神的殿堂」，花了将近150年才建造完工（1294-1436），并由当时最著名的工程师设计而成。
今日的游客仍惊叹于这个圆顶，它是教堂中最引人注目像皇冠似的一景。
时至今日，在佛罗伦萨没有任何一栋建筑高过这个圆顶的。
教堂文物博物馆耸立于附近，这栋建筑曾经是那些为此座教堂定制艺术品的人的办公室，今天它收藏了过去装饰教堂外观的雕像。
稍作散步一番走过佛罗伦萨狭窄的小巷，游客将来到著名的乌菲齐美术馆。
这栋建筑建于1560年间，当年是作为办公之用（乌菲齐在意大利语中是办公室的意思）。
今日，它则以其出色的艺术收藏而自豪，游客们一定得穿着舒适的鞋子去参观，因为要一探这个美术馆得花好几个小时的时间。
收藏中一些著名的作品包括有波提切利的「春」和「维也纳的诞生」。

Unit 1 Passage 1第1页到第3页Differences Between Two Kinds of Youth原版：The trip to the United State opened my eyes to the fact that there are a lot of similarities as well as differences between American youth and French youth. Now I will talk about the differences between them.The first difference is in appearance. Going around in the U.S., I found that American youth do not really care about their appearance. In the morning, they choose something in their closet and wear it with another thing, often of different colors and styles, without wondering whether their choices make them look strange. The reason behind this is that they don't care what people look like, but are just interested in their ideas. I think it's great, but it also causes problems. Since they don't care about their appearance, they don't really care about their weight. Often they get fat without realizing it.There are differences in relationships too. When the American youth fall in love, they don't really think of the future. Also, there are differences in the rules concerning behavior that is allowed. In some respects, the French are more accepting. For example, in America it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love. Lovers, actually, can't kiss or hold each other everywhere they want. People think that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others. On the contrary, the French youth can do almost everything they want,and they are usually more concerned about the future of the relationship than American youth.With regard to othet types of relationships ,there are also big differences.Americans act differently from French people in front of unknown people. When an American girl, for example, arrives in front of people she has never met before, she will talk with them, trying to create a kind of tie between her and this new circle of people. The French girls will just think about rather than really do this kind of thing because they are too shy and lacking in self-confidence.To finish, I noticed that in American classes, when pupils want to say or ask something, they just do it. In general, they don't really care how the others will judge them. In France, it's not the same case. If somebody wants to ask something, he/she will think about it before speaking up. I appreciate the freedom in Americans' behavior, ideas, and ways of expressing themselves.1、In this article,the author talks about______between American youth and Frenchyouth.A)The friendshipB)The differences and similaritiesC)The similiartiesD)The differences2、American young people_______A)Are more concerned about appearanceB)Show more interest in people’s ideasC)Are just interested in peoples’ clothesD)Care more about their weight3、American youth often______A)Wonder why they look strangeB)Care what people look likeC)Neglect their weightD)Cause problems with their ideas4、When American youth fall in love with each other, they _________.A)will kiss wherever they likeB)will always think about their futureC)will not hold each otherD)will rarely display their love in public5、French youth may think more about_____A)Their lover’s ideasB)Their relationship’s futureC)Their physical displaysD)Their public images6、When meeting with strange,American girls_______A)Are usually shy and keep silentB)Will try to create a bond with themC)Will try to arrive in front of themD)Usually lack self-confidence7、When facing strangers,French girl usually______A)Start to create a lively conversationB)Enjoy showing their self-confidencceC)Are shy and lack confidenceD)Behave in a way similar to American girls8、If French pupils want to ask questions in class,they will_____A)Ask for the teacher’s permission firstB)Speak up before the teacher permitsC)Try to control themselves not to do soD)Think about it before they do so译文：对美国的旅行让我打开眼界，有很多的相似性以与差异的美国青年和法国青年。

1、频繁的进行英语实验。首先阅读的英语课本，然后听和看一起，然后只听不看。说出或写下你刚刚听到的。
2、在班里当其他同学说的时候静静的听。注意这个作业，不要担心你会做。
3、如果你感到紧张，通过休息一下和深呼吸来放松自己的身体。当你被叫到时，暂停，放松，给自己一个准备的反应。
4、练习：参加语言俱乐部，看外国电视，听外语收音。
最有效的学习是你的积极而不是消极。一个消极的过程（就像看电视）得到的很少甚至在你的部分里没有功能，信息也会很快忘记。在积极学习时，你的关注度会达到最高，使你完全理解整个话题。高效学习让你在学习过程中成为一个积极的参与者。
这里有许多方法和技巧可以让你成长为一个积极学习的人。下面是一些建议。
通过浏览课本的章节预习课程材料来了解主题和思想。问自己一些问题，然后在你阅读的时候做笔记（用自己的话）。这将意味着你在讲师讨论之前抓住了文章的主要材料。
阅读技巧
1、首先，为完成任务而阅读词汇清单。然后关于文章带着问题去读。然后看整篇文章两到三遍，通过上下文猜测文章的含义。避免逐词的翻译。这是浪费时间。
2、把新词汇分离出来单独学习。不要在写在行之间！做一个新的单词卡然后记住它。带着他们然后在每天的零碎的时间背诵。学习他们直到你能自动记住。
3、分离新的语法然后单独学习。写下和标记例句。当你阅读到面对这个模式时，暂停下然后背诵这个模板来认出来。

4.In the traditional Japanese house, Scawthorn says, the first floor lacks interior walls that could help support the weight of the second floor, as they would for a Western home;Scawthorn说，传统的日本房屋缺乏用于支撑第二层楼重量的内墙，而西方房屋的内墙则能支撑二层楼的重量。

Unit 41.Directions: Read the following passages, and then select the best choice for each ofthe questions or incomplete statements.Passage 1There are stock markets in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell the shares of a factory of company. And each share means part ownership of a factory or company.Different people go to the stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing （投资）money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling (赌博). All are eager to make money by “gambling” in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to “gamble.” Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.(Words: 244)1. The following people go to the stock market EXPCEPT those whoA) want to become richerB) want to get rid of povertyC) want to save moneyD) want to find jobs2. Which of the following statements is true?A) A good investor can affect the change in stock prices.B) A good investor can tell exactly when the stock goes up or down.C) A good investor will sometimes lose money.D) A good investor knows how to choose a company which does a good job.3. In the passage the writer .A) encourage people to go to the stock marketB) assures people that buying stock is a good investmentC) warns people to be careful in buying stocksD) explains how stock goes up when factories or companies run well4. The word “ complex” in the last sentence probably means .A) completeB) strangeC) difficultD) modern5. The passage mainly tells us aboutA) the ABCs of stock marketsB) gambling in stock marketsC) how to make money in stock marketsD) how to buy or sell shares in stock marketsPassage 2She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.“The thin, wooden pan el on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago.” The museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their present chemical state.Nearly six million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then yo u look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision （视觉）is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.(Words: 247)1.In the first paragraph, “catching up with” meansA)coming up with behindB)having effect onC)making up forD)getting along with2.It is difficult to repair this painting due to itsA)painting materialsB)wooden panelC)long historyD)good name3.Mona Lisa is smiling you lookA)at herB)from the corners of your eyesC)into the shadowsD)for details4.Para. 4 is mainly aboutA)the history of the Mona LisaB)the condition of the Mona LisaC)the secret of Mona Lisa’s smileD)the secret of Mona Lisa’s beauty5.During World War II the famous painting was inA)ItalyB)FranceC)BritainD)GermanyII. Directions:Read the following passages, and then fill in the blanks with the missing information.Passage 3Body language is one of the best ways to find out what is really going on inside someone’s head.A small movement of the mouth or nose, or a wink of the eye—these actions can say much more about a person’s feeling than anything they say to you.But you need to be very experienced to fully understand what you see. Here are some basic movements made by Westerners and explanations of what they mean to get you started.Pat （轻拍）/rub(摩擦)one’s stomach. If someone rubs his or her stomach, he is not feeling sick. It is the opposite—he is hungry.Shrug（耸）one’s shoulders. This means “I don’t know” or “I am not bothered.” If your friend shrugs his or her shoulders when invited to a party, it shows he or she is not very interested in going along to it.Keep one’s fingers crossed. It is a gesture to wish for good luck. Before people take exams, they often cross their fingers in the hope of getting good grades. Football fans do the same thing when their favorite team gets an advantage from a penalty(点球)—they wish the players will score a goal.Rub one’s chin. If someone rubs his or her chin, it often means he or she doesn’t believe what someone else is saying! So if your friend makes this gesture, it secretly tells you what he or she feels.Scratch (挠)one’s head. If your foreign English teacher scratches his or her head when you ask a question, then he or she is confused and might not have understood what you have said. Either that, or he or she can’t remember your name!(Words: 277)1. We can know more about a person’s feelings by .2. When a Westerner rubs his or her stomach, it means .3. When taking exams, Westerners may cross their fingers to .4. If your friends rub their chin, it may mean that .5. “To scratch one’s head” suggests the person doesn’t understand your words or.Passage 4If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then stalk off without paying your fare. And the driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dinning rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guest, but also cater to outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to wine and dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages.” But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would invariably come back to pay their fare after they have attended their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. as the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, so to live in such a society has turned ev eryone into real “gentlemen”.(Words: 311)1.

I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.I began to run. But as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around.I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet was caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I fell to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a flaming doorway in front, and I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet were burning terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry. I nearly dropped it in surprise. Then is saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.“My baby! My baby!” she cried.

Such absent-mindedness may be frustrating to you. Now British and German scientists are developing memory glasses that record everything the user sees. The glasses can play back memories later to help the wearer remember things they have forgotten such as where they left their keys. And the glasses also allow the user to “label(贴标签于，标注)” items so information can be used later on.The wearer could walk around an office or a factory identifying certain items by pointing at them. Objects indicated( 指出)are then given a blank label on a screen inside the glasses that the user then fills in.It could be used in industrial plants by mechanics looking to identify machine parts or by electricians writing a complicated device. A spokesman for the project said: “A car mechanic, for example, could find at a glance where a part on a certain car model is wrong so that it can be identified and repaired.” For the motorist, the system can highlight(使显著)dangers on the road.In other cases, the glasses can be worn by people going on a guided tour, indicating points of interest; or they can be worn by people looking at panoramas where all the sites can be identified.(Words: 231) ( ) 1. An absent-minded person is easy to forget.( ) 2. Memory glasses can remind users of what they have forgotten.( ) 3. If you are wearing the memory glasses, it means you have a bad memory. ( ) 4.

Unit 11 TextFromLittle House in the Big WoodsBy Laura Ingalls WilderLaura Ingalls Wilder wrote many books about her life in the wilderness. This is a true story from one of her books. On the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin in 1872, she lived with her family in a little log house. It was miles from any neighbors and far from any town. One day her father was away from home, leaving the family alone in the wilderness. At night there came a big bear. What were the mother and her daughters going to do? Were they safe in the end? Please read the following story.Then one day Pa said that spring was coming.In the Big Woods the snow was beginning to thaw. Bits of it dropped from the branches of the trees and made little holes in the softening snowbanks below. At noon all the big icicles along the eaves of the little house quivered and sparkled in the sunshine, and drops of water hung trembling at their tips.Pa said he must go to town to trade the furs of the wild animals he had been trapping all winter. So one evening he made a big bundle of them. There were so many furs that when they were packed tightly and tied together they made a bundle almost as big as Pa.Very early one morning Pa strapped the bundle of furs on his shoulders, and started to walk to town. There were so many furs to carry that he could not take his gun.Ma was worried, but Pa said that by starting before sun-up and walking very fast all day he could get home again before dark.The nearest town was far away. Laura and Mary had never seen a town. They had never seen a store. They had never seen even two houses standing together. But they knew that in a town there were many houses, and a store full of candy and calico and other wonderful things—powder, and shot, and salt, and store sugar.They knew that Pa would trade his furs to the storekeeper for beautiful things from town, and all day they were expecting the presents he would bring them. When the sun sank low above the treetops and no more drops fell from the tips of the icicles they began to watch eagerly for Pa.The sun sank out of sight, the woods grew dark, and he did not come. Ma started supper and set the table, but he did not come. It was time to do the chores, and still he had not come.Ma said that Laura might come with her while she milked the cow. Laura could carry the lantern.So Laura put on her coat and Ma buttoned it up. And Laura put her hands into her red mittens that hung by a red yarn string around her neck, while Ma lighted the candle in the lantern.Laura was proud to be helping Ma with the milking, and she carried the lantern very carefully. Its sides were of tin, with places cut in them for the candle-light to shine through.When Laura walked behind Ma on the path to the barn, the little bits of candle-light from the lantern leaped all around her on the snow. The night was not yet quite dark. The woods were dark, but there was a gray light on the snowy path, and in the sky there were a few faint stars. The stars did not look as warm and bright as the little lights that came from the lantern.Laura was surprised to see the dark shape of Sukey, the brown cow, standing at the barnyard gate. Ma was surprised, too.It was too early in the spring for Sukey to be let out in the Big Woods to eat grass. She lived in the barn. But sometimes on warm days Pa left the door of her stall open so she could come into the barnyard. Now Ma and Laura saw her behind the bars, waiting for them.Ma went up to the gate, and pushed against it to open it. But it did not open very far, because there was Sukey, standing against it. Ma said, "Sukey, get over!" She reached across the gate and slapped Sukey's shoulder.Just then one of the dancing little bits of light from the lantern jumped between the bars of the gate, and Laura saw long, shaggy, black fur, and two little, glittering eyes.Sukey had thin, short, brown fur. Sukey had large, gentle eyes.Ma said, "Laura, walk back to the house."So Laura turned around and began to walk toward the house. Ma came behind her. When they had gone part way, Ma snatched her up, lantern and all, and ran. Ma ran with her into the house, and slammed the door.Then Laura said, "Ma, was it a bear?""Yes, Laura," Ma said. "It was a bear."Laura began to cry. She hung on to Ma and sobbed, "Oh, will he eat Sukey?""No," Ma said, hugging her. "Sukey is safe in the barn. Think, Laura—all those big, heavy logs in the barn walls. And the door is heavy and solid, made to keep bears out. No, the bear cannot get in and eat Sukey.”"Laura felt better then. "But he could have hurt us, couldn't he?" she asked."He didn't hurt us," Ma said. "You were a good girl, Laura, to do exactly as I told you, and to do it quickly, without asking why."Ma was trembling, and she began to laugh a little. "To think," she said, "I've slapped a bear!"Then she put supper on the table for Laura and Mary. Pa had not come yet. He didn't come. Laura and Mary were undressed, and they said their prayers and snuggled into the trundle bed.Ma sat by the lamp, mending one of Pa's shirts. The house seemed cold and still and strange, without pa.Laura listened to the wind in the Big Woods. All around the house the wind went crying as though it were lost in the dark and the cold. The wind sounded frightened.Ma finished mending the shirt. Laura saw her fold it slowly and carefully. She smoothed it with her hand. Then she did a thing she had never done before. She went to the door and pulled the leather latch-string through its hole in the door, so that nobody could get in from outside unless she lifted the latch. She came and took Carrie, all limp and sleeping, out of the big bed.She saw that Laura and Mary were still awake, and she said to them: "Go to sleep, girls. Everything is all right. Pa will be here in the morning." Then she went back to her rocking chair and sat there rocking gently and holding Baby Carrie in her arms.She was sitting up late, waiting for Pa, and Laura and Mary meant to stay awake, too, till he came. But at last they went to sleep.In the morning Pa was there. He had brought candy for Laura and Mary, and two pieces of pretty calico to make them each a dress. Mary's was a china-blue pattern on a white ground, and Laura's was dark red with little golden-brown dots on it. Ma had calico for a dress, too; it was brown, with a big, feathery white pattern all over it.They were all happy because Pa had got such good prices for his furs that he could afford to get them such beautiful presents.The tracks of the big bear were all around the barn, and there were marks of his claws on the walls. But Sukey and the horses were safe inside. All that day the sun shone, the snow melted, and little streams of water ran from the icicles, which all the time grew thinner. Before the sun set that night, the bear tracks were only shapeless marks in the wet, soft snow.(1,236 words) 译文：森林中的小屋劳拉·英格尔·威尔德劳拉·英格尔·威尔德写了很多书,讲述她在荒野里的生活。

I’m not an educator. My primary purpose is to entertain – though if people want to read education into my work, that’s fine with me.我不是教育家，我的主要目的是娱乐；但如果人们想要从我的作品中受到教育，我也乐于接受。
Passage 2Diffusion is the process by which molecules or ions scatter or spread from regions where they are in higher concentrations towards regions where they are in lower concentrations.扩散是分子或离子从高浓度区域分散或散布至低浓度区域的过程。
Such motion is haphazard, but it accounts for the mixing of molecules that commonly occurs when different kinds of substances are put together.这种运动是无规则的,但它解释了将不同种类的物质放在一起时，通常会发生分子混合的原因。
Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion. It occurs whenever water molecules diffuse from a region of higher concentration through a selectively permeable membrane,such as a cell membrane.渗透是一种特殊的扩散。
当水分子从高浓度区域通过选择性渗透膜（如细胞膜）扩散时即为渗透。
Passage3One of the problems of watching weather forecasts on TV is that by the time they have reached your region, you have tuned out and missed the vital information you have been waiting for. But it is not a problem in the United States because they have a weather channel devoted entirely to weather. Set up in 1982, the Weather Channel was given just weeks to survive by its critics, but such is the interest in the vagaries of the climate that it has thrived.收看天气预报的若干问题之一就是，当他们播到你那个区域时你已经换台而错过了你一直在等的重要信息。
但是在美国不存在这样的问题，因为他们有一个专门的天气频道。
该频道始建立于1982年，当初评论家们认为它只能存活几周，但是人们对变化莫测的天气如此感兴趣，使得它日渐繁荣起来。
Weather is big business in the United States. The country has 750 weather zones, including eight in the NewYork metropolitan area alone.在美国，天气是一项大产业。
这个国家有750个天气区域，单纽约这样的大都市就包含8个区域。
Passage 4The Julian calendar, devised by Julius Caesar and based on the phases of the moon, had trouble pinning down that date.凯撒大帝根据月相制定的儒略历在推算复活节的日子时遇到了麻烦。
Aside from setting the first yea r of the Lord around Jesus’fourth birthday,it does not had not account for a year 0.The concept of a whole number between minus-one and one had not yet made the journey from the Arab world to Western Europe.除了把耶稣的第四个生日设置为第一年以外，它还不包括0年。
负一和一之间的整数的概念还没有从阿拉伯世界传到西方欧洲。
Passage5Do you think it is possible to defeat an opponent so fierce that a glance at her turns one to stone? This was the fate of anyone who looked upon the Medusa, a dreaded monster whose hair was made of hissing serpents.你认为有可能战胜强大到只消对方看她一眼就会被变成石头的对手吗？这是任何一个看美杜莎的人的命运，她是一个可怕的魔鬼，每根发丝都是吐着信子的毒蛇。
The brave Perseus undertook to fight the Medusa, but he was compelled to do battle in a most awkward manner.To help Perseus in his venture, the goddess Minerva had lent him her bright shield ,and the god Mercury had given him winged shoes .勇敢的珀耳修斯着手与美杜莎斗争，但他被迫以一个比较尴尬的方式战斗（背景：假如他从这块盾的反光里看美杜莎，他就不会变成石头）。
为了帮助敢于冒险的珀尔修斯，女神密涅瓦把她的反光盾借给他，并且宇宙神墨丘利给他了一双会飞的鞋子。
Cautiously he approached the awesome monster .Using the image of the Medusa in his shield as a guide , he succeeded in cutting off her head and fixing it to the center of Minerva’s shield珀尔修斯小心翼翼的靠近了令人恐惧的魔鬼。
用他的盾牌上美杜莎的（反光）形象作向导，他成功的把她的头取下来并装在密涅瓦的盾牌中心。
Perseus then flew to the realm of King Atlas whose chief pride was his garden filled with golden fruit . Thirsty and near collapse , he pleaded with the King for water to quench his thirst and for a place to rest .然后，珀尔修斯飞到了阿特拉斯国王的属地，阿特拉斯以他花园中的金色水果为荣。
珀尔修斯口渴并接近虚脱，他恳求国王给一些水来止渴并稍事休息。
But Atlas feared that he would be betrayed into losing his golden apples. He uttered just one word ,“Begone!”Perseus ,finding that he could not pacify Atlas , responded by beckoning him to look upon Medusa’s head .Atlas was changed immediately into stone但是，阿特拉斯害怕被骗，从而失去他的金苹果。
他只说出了一个字“滚蛋！”珀尔修斯发觉他不能说服阿特拉斯，于是就引诱他看美杜莎的头作为回应。
阿特拉斯立刻变成了石头。
His head and hair became forests , his body increased in bulk and became cliffs , and the gods ruled that the heaven with all its stars should rest upon his shoulders . Can there be a worse calamity than that which befellAtlas ?他的头和头发变成了森林，他的身体增大成一块并且变成了悬岩，并且众神规定，天上所有的星星都应在他的肩膀上休息。
