English Tea And Coffee Culture
One thing British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea.Today, when we think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.Afternoon Tea
People believe that an English duchess, Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford(1788-1861)first introduced the idea of afternoon tea.In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate only two main meals each day – breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening.As a result, people often got these two meals.To solve this problem, the Duchess came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her fir an afternoon meal between four and five o?clock.This meal included cakes and sandwiches, and tea was served to wash down the food.In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates, and silver teapots, knives, forks and spoons were used.Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions.Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life of wealthy people in modern Britain.Will you come for coffee? Coffee also has an important role in British culture.People often use the words “will you come for coffee?” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat?” Normally, several different drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what you would like.However, you will not normally be offered wine at a “coffee” party.Coffeehouses and the London Stock Exchange
In the 17th century London, coffeehouses were busy, noisy places.Merchants and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee.In fact, the London Stock Exchange is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.文化角

一個(gè)英國(guó)和中國(guó)文化共享是一個(gè)愛(ài)的好茶。今天,當(dāng)我們認(rèn)為英語(yǔ)和美麗的中國(guó)茶。
下午茶
人們認(rèn)為,英國(guó)公爵夫人,安娜,第七貝德福德公爵夫人(1788-1861)首先介紹了下午茶的想法。在第十八和第十九世紀(jì),英國(guó)只吃?xún)蓚€(gè)主餐每一天–早餐和豐盛的晚餐會(huì)持續(xù)幾個(gè)小時(shí)在晚上。因此,人們經(jīng)常把這些兩餐。為了解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題,公爵夫人想出邀請(qǐng)一些朋友到她的杉木四和五點(diǎn)之間一個(gè)下午餐的聰明的主意。這頓飯有蛋糕和三明治,茶是用來(lái)沖洗食物。為了使下午茶的重要,好的瓷器杯子和盤(pán)子,銀質(zhì)的茶壺,刀子,叉子和勺子被使用。很快,下午茶變成了流行的社交場(chǎng)合。今天,下午茶聚會(huì)中繼續(xù)發(fā)揮富人在現(xiàn)代英國(guó)社會(huì)生活的一個(gè)重要組成部分。
你要來(lái)杯咖啡嗎?
咖啡在英國(guó)文化中占有重要的作用。人們常說(shuō)“你要來(lái)杯咖啡嗎?“的意思是“你愿意來(lái)我家聊天?“通常情況下,幾種不同的喜歡喝橙汁將服務(wù)以及咖啡,你會(huì)問(wèn)你喜歡什么。然而,你將不在“咖啡”一方提供酒。
咖啡館和倫敦證券交易所 在第十七世紀(jì)的倫敦,咖啡館都忙,嘈雜的地方。商人和銀行家去咖啡館去做他們的生意,以及喝咖啡。事實(shí)上,倫敦證券交易所已開(kāi)始從這些咖啡館。

“For the families of the seven, we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy.But we feel the loss, and we?re thinking about you so very much.Your loved ones were daring and brave, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says,?

Happy Halloween!
Over 2000 years ago, people known as the Celts lived in Northern Europe.They worshipped the sun god and believed the god made their crops grow.On the night of 31 October, after their crops had been harvested and stored for winder, the Celts began a 3-day New Year holiday.During this time, they offered crops and dead animals to thank the god and danced in costumes made from animal heads and skin.Later, when the Romans invaded Europe.They adopted the Celts? New Year customs and used them in their own festivals.After 835 AD, the Catholic Church in Europe invented a holiday on 1 November, All Hallow?s Day, to honour saints.Later, it invented another holiday on 2 November, All Souls? Day, to honour dead people.To celebrate All Souls? Day, people, made big bonfires and dressed up as angels, devils, saints and witches.They lit candles in lanterns made of hollowed-out turnip or pumpkin to frighten away ghosts.On this night, people also traveled from village to village to ask for food.It was believed that any village that did not give food would have bad luck.Gradually, over the years, the Celtic, Roman and Catholic customs and holidays got mixed together, and finally 31 October became known as Halloween.In the nineteenth century, Irish immigrants took Halloween customs from Europe to the USA.Today, in the USA and the UK in particular, Halloween has become a special occasion for young people.In these countries, children wear spooky costumes and go from door to door saying “Trick or treat!” and they are given sweets to take home.文化角 萬(wàn)圣節(jié)快樂(lè)!

第二篇:高中英語(yǔ)必修一課文翻譯
我上高中的一天
我叫李康,住在石家莊,一個(gè)距離北京不遠(yuǎn)的城市。它是河北的省會(huì)。今天是我上高中的第一天,我正在記載我的一些想法。
我的新學(xué)校很好,我能看出這是為什么。老師們非常熱情友好,教室令人驚奇。每間教室都有一臺(tái)電腦,配有特別的屏幕,幾乎和電影屏幕一樣大。老師們?cè)陔娔X上打字,這樣他們打出的字就顯示在他們身后的屏幕上。屏幕上海能顯示圖片,文本及來(lái)自網(wǎng)上的信息。它們真是太棒了。
英語(yǔ)課確實(shí)很有趣。老師是一位非常熱情的叫沈老師的女士。我們使用新課本,并且沈老師的教學(xué)方法與我的初中老師的教學(xué)方法完全不同。她認(rèn)為閱讀理解很重要,不過(guò)我們課堂英語(yǔ)也講得很多。我們上課很快樂(lè)。我認(rèn)為我是不會(huì)對(duì)沈老師課厭煩的。
今天我們討論互相自我介紹
。我們是以小組討論式進(jìn)行的。有些學(xué)生起初有些尷尬,不過(guò)每個(gè)人都很友善,這真是好。沈老師給我們提出要求,然后我們自己活動(dòng)。
沈老師想幫助我們提高拼寫(xiě)和書(shū)寫(xiě)水平。我們用拼寫(xiě)游戲和其他活動(dòng)這類(lèi)有趣的方式來(lái)進(jìn)行。我很喜歡她的態(tài)度,其他學(xué)生的行為表明他們也喜歡她。
我班上有65個(gè)學(xué)生,比我原來(lái)初中班上的人數(shù)多。學(xué)生中49人是女生。換句話(huà)說(shuō),女生的人數(shù)是男生的三倍。他們說(shuō)通常女生比男生學(xué)習(xí)更努力,但在這個(gè)班上,每個(gè)人都很努力。作為我們今晚的家庭作業(yè),我們寫(xiě)一篇描述我們所住街道的文章。
我的新教師 常言道第一印象非常重要,李老師給我的第一印象是緊張而且害羞。我想她那時(shí)可能就是這樣,因?yàn)槟鞘撬o我們上的第一堂課。但現(xiàn)在,兩周之后,全班同學(xué)都很喜歡上她的課了。她既和藹又有耐心,而且她講解英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法如此清楚,以至于連我都明白。她避免使你感到自己很愚蠢。說(shuō)英語(yǔ)時(shí)我一直很討厭出錯(cuò)或發(fā)音有誤。可是李老師只是笑笑,這樣你就不會(huì)感到自己很蠢。我想可能對(duì)于成績(jī)好的學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō),她講的有點(diǎn)慢,但是對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)卻極好。我覺(jué)得我會(huì)在她的課上取得進(jìn)步的。
我猜陳老師快60歲了,她非常嚴(yán)厲——除非她要求我們(講話(huà)),否則我們一句話(huà)也不敢說(shuō)。她也很?chē)?yán)肅而且不大愛(ài)笑。當(dāng)她要你做什么事情時(shí),你一定要馬上做。我們班有幾個(gè)學(xué)生上課老遲到,可是上陳老師的課他們一直都很準(zhǔn)時(shí)。我們班有些同學(xué)不喜歡她,但是我們大多數(shù)人真的很佩服她,因?yàn)樗v課非常有條理,也很清楚。甚至還有幾個(gè)學(xué)生表示喜歡她。在做科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)時(shí),她講解的很確切,因此我的學(xué)習(xí)不斷進(jìn)步。雖然物理永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)是我最喜歡的學(xué)科,但是我想由陳老師教我,我在考試中取得好成績(jī)。
吳老師只教了我們兩個(gè)星期就已經(jīng)很受歡迎了。我想這是因?yàn)樗娴南矚g語(yǔ)文數(shù)學(xué)——應(yīng)該是熱愛(ài)。他總是充滿(mǎn)活力,這是一節(jié)你不會(huì)睡覺(jué)的課。我覺(jué)得他大約28歲,長(zhǎng)得相當(dāng)帥。他聲音洪亮而且說(shuō)話(huà)快,他興奮的時(shí)候還會(huì)揮舞雙手。他非常有趣,覺(jué)得我們感到厭煩時(shí)就講笑話(huà)。上吳老師的課,即使向作文和總結(jié)這樣的東西都充滿(mǎn)了樂(lè)趣。我很敬重他。
我的首次火車(chē)之旅
我的名字叫愛(ài)麗絲.湯姆遜。我來(lái)自澳大利亞的悉尼,我18歲了。最近,我首次乘一列長(zhǎng)途列車(chē)旅行。這次旅行真棒。我和我的朋友乘的著名的Ghan列車(chē)。我們?cè)谙つ嵘宪?chē),在艾利斯斯普林下車(chē),恰好在澳大利亞的中心,行程四千多里。我們?cè)诨疖?chē)上度過(guò)了兩天兩夜。
這列火車(chē)非常不錯(cuò),吃的食物相當(dāng)棒。我們吃的美味飯菜是由烹飪專(zhuān)家做的。旅途的前幾百公里景色非常豐富多彩。有土地,土壤是紅色的。然后就是沙漠,太陽(yáng)照耀著,沒(méi)有一絲風(fēng),天空也沒(méi)有云彩。突然,它看起來(lái)好像另一個(gè)時(shí)代的某個(gè)地方。我們看到被遺棄的農(nóng)莊,這些農(nóng)莊的建立史有一百多年。
乘這列火車(chē)是舒服的,車(chē)上的人也很友好。在白天,我做在車(chē)?yán)锟创巴猓袝r(shí)和別的乘客說(shuō)說(shuō)話(huà)。我讀書(shū),聽(tīng)漢語(yǔ)磁帶。一天晚上,大約是午夜,差不多有一個(gè)多小時(shí)我都在注視著夜晚的天空。星星像鉆石一樣閃爍。
為什么這列火車(chē)叫Ghan?很久以前,澳大利亞人需要一種通往國(guó)家中部的途徑,他們?cè)囘^(guò)馬,可是馬不適合炎熱的天氣和沙地。一百五十年前,他們從阿富汗帶回來(lái)一些駱駝。Ghan 是阿富汗的縮寫(xiě)。
對(duì)于長(zhǎng)途跋涉而言,駱駝比馬好得多。許多年以前,訓(xùn)練有素的駱駝運(yùn)出事物和其他供給物,然后帶回羊毛和其他產(chǎn)品。
阿富汗人和他們的駱駝穿梭其間,直到20世紀(jì)20年代。后來(lái),政府建了一條新的鐵路線(xiàn),因此他們不再需要駱駝了。1925年,他們通過(guò)了一項(xiàng)法律,如果這些動(dòng)物成了麻煩,就允許人們可以射殺它們。1935年,一個(gè)鎮(zhèn)的警察曾在一天內(nèi)在一天內(nèi)射殺了153頭駱駝。
因特網(wǎng)的發(fā)展歷程
Internet是全世界最大的計(jì)算機(jī)網(wǎng)絡(luò),它起源與美國(guó)國(guó)防部高級(jí)研究計(jì)劃局ARPA 于1968年主持研制的用于支持軍事研究的計(jì)算機(jī)實(shí)驗(yàn)網(wǎng)ARPANET。ARPANET建網(wǎng)的初衷在幫助那些為美國(guó)軍方工作的研究人員通過(guò)計(jì)算機(jī)交換信息,它的設(shè)計(jì)與實(shí)現(xiàn)基于這樣一種主導(dǎo)思想:網(wǎng)絡(luò)要能夠經(jīng)得住故障的考驗(yàn)而維持正常工作,當(dāng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)的一部分因受攻擊而失去作用時(shí),網(wǎng)絡(luò)的其他部分仍能維持正常通信。
1985年當(dāng)時(shí)美國(guó)國(guó)家科學(xué)基金NSF為鼓勵(lì)大學(xué)和研究機(jī)構(gòu),共享他們非常昂貴四臺(tái)計(jì)算機(jī)主機(jī),希望通過(guò)計(jì)算機(jī)網(wǎng)絡(luò)把各個(gè)大學(xué)和研究機(jī)構(gòu)的計(jì)算機(jī)與這些巨型計(jì)算機(jī)連接起來(lái)。開(kāi)始他們想用現(xiàn)成的ARPANET,不過(guò)他們發(fā)覺(jué)與美國(guó)軍方打交道不是一件容易的事,于是他們決定利用ARPANET發(fā)展出來(lái)叫TCP/IP 的通訊協(xié)議自己出資建立名叫NSFNET 的廣域網(wǎng)。由于美國(guó)國(guó)家科學(xué)資金的鼓勵(lì)和資助,許多大學(xué)、政府資助的研究機(jī)構(gòu),甚至私營(yíng)的研究機(jī)構(gòu)紛紛把自己的局域網(wǎng)并入NSFNET。這樣使NSFET在1986年建成后取代ARPANET成為Internet的主干網(wǎng)。
90年代初期,隨著WWW的發(fā)展,Internet 逐漸走向民用,由于WWW良好的界面大大簡(jiǎn)化了Internet操作的難度,使得用戶(hù)的數(shù)量急劇增加,許多政府機(jī)構(gòu)、商業(yè)公司意識(shí)到Internet,這樣Internet上的點(diǎn)數(shù)大大增長(zhǎng),網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的信息 五花八門(mén)、十分豐富。如今Internet已經(jīng)深入到人們生活的各個(gè)部分,通過(guò)WWW瀏覽、電子郵件等方式,人們可以及時(shí)地獲得自己所需的信息。Internet大大方便了信息傳播,給人們帶來(lái)了一種全新的通訊方式,可以說(shuō)Internet是繼電報(bào)、電話(huà)發(fā)明以來(lái)人類(lèi)通訊方式的又一次革命。

JM:見(jiàn)到你真高興,你知道的,自從上次我們見(jiàn)面 到現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)6年了。這是我第一次參觀(guān)你的家鄉(xiāng)。

XL:是的,那樓剛完工。那里公寓的租金很高。JM:我相信你,這一地區(qū)的現(xiàn)代化程度很高。
XL:對(duì),這是商業(yè)區(qū)。最近他們建起了許多高樓大廈,還有一些大型購(gòu)物中心。看,我們剛經(jīng)過(guò)一個(gè),我妻子剛經(jīng)過(guò)一個(gè)。我妻子剛從那的一個(gè)商店里買(mǎi)了一件漂亮的衣服。
JM:也許我可以在那買(mǎi)些禮物。
XL:明天我?guī)闳ァ,F(xiàn)在我們就要離開(kāi)商業(yè)區(qū),接近海港了。我們要進(jìn)入西區(qū),這里是全市最有趣的地方,有一些特別漂亮的公園。

JM:他們是這樣跟我說(shuō)的。你覺(jué)得我們停下來(lái),四處走一會(huì)兒怎么樣?
XL:好,我正有此意。我們可以把車(chē)停在那兒,一個(gè)朋友告訴我,附近有一家不大但挺不錯(cuò)的魚(yú)餐館。我去那吃午餐怎么樣? JM:聽(tīng)起來(lái)是個(gè)好主意,我快餓死了。
第三篇:高中英語(yǔ)必修一課文及翻譯
Unit1,Book1 Anne'sbestfriend Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her bestfriend.Annie lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II.Her family was Jewish so they had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis.She and her family hid away for nearly twenty-five months before they were discovered.During that time the only true friend was her diary.She said, “I don't want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my best friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942.Dearkitty, I wonder if it's because I haven't been able to be outdoors for so long that I've grown crazy about everything to do with nature.I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound.ThatchangedsinceIwashere.For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by myself.But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn't dare open a window.Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open.I didn't go downstairs until the window had to be shut.The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power;it was the first time in a year and a half that I'd seen the night face to face......Sadly...I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows.It's no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing thatreallymustbeexperienced.Yours, Anne Unit2 TheroadtomodernEnglish At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people speak English.Nearly all of them lived in England.Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries.Today, more people speak English as their first, second, or a foreign languagethaneverbefore.Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don't speak the same kind ofEnglish.Lookatthisexample: BritishBetty:Wouldyouliketoseemyflat? AmericanAmy:Yes.I'dliketocomeuptoyourapartment.So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other.At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English we spoke today.It was based more on German than the English we speak at present.Then gradually between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who rules England spoke first Danish and later French.These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary.So by the 1600's Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before.In 1620 some British settlers moved to America.Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too.English begantobespokeninbothcountries.Finally by the 19th century the language was settled.At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote the American Dictionary of the English language.The latter gave a separate identitytoAmericanEnglishspelling.English now is spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia.For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947.During that time English became the language for government and education.English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa.Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly.In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners.Will Chinese English develop its ownidentity?Onlytimewilltell.StandardEnglishanddialects....When people use words and expressions different from the “standard language”, it is called a dialect......American English has so many dialects because people have come fromallovertheworld.Geography also plays a part in making dialects.Some people who live in mountains of the eastern USA speak with an older kind of English dialect......Although many Americans move a lot, they still recognize and understand each other's dialects.Unit3 JourneydowntheMekong My name is Wang Kun.Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip.Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike then she persuaded me to buy one.Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming.They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries.Wang Wei soon got them interested in cycling too.After graduating from college, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip.I asked my sister, “Where are we going?” It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends.Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming.She can be really stubborn.Although she didn't know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organize the trip properly.Now I know that the proper way is always her way.I kept asking her, “When are we leaving and when are we coming back?” I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet.Of course she hadn't;my sister doesn't care about details.So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province.She gave me a determined look-the kind that said she would not change her mind.When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5000 meters, she seemed to be excited about it.When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience.I know my sister well.Once she has made up her mind, nothing can changeit.Finally,Ihadtogivein.Several months before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library.We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography.From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a Tibetan mountain.At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold.Then it begins to move quickly.It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, traveling across western Yunnan Province.Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall and enrers wide valleys.We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China.After it leaves China and high altitude, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm.As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows.It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows.At last, the river delta enters theSouthChinaSea.Part2...Along the way children dressed in long wool coats stopped to look at us.In the late afternoon we found it was so cold that our water bottles froze.However, the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and looked wonderful.Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual.She is very reliable and I knew I didn't need to encourage her.To climb the mountains was hard work but as we looked around us, we were surprised by the view.We seemed to be able to see for miles.At one point we were so high that we found ourselves cycling through clouds.Then we began going down the hills.It was great fun especially as it gradually became much warmer.....In the early evening we always stop to make camp.We put up our tent and then we eat.After supper Wang Wei put her head down on her pillow and went to sleep but I stayed awake.At midnight the sky became clearer and the stars grew brighter.It was so quiet.There was almost no wind---only the flames of our fire for company.As I lay beneath the stars I thought about how far we had already travelled.We will reach Dali in Yunnan Province soon, where our cousins Dao Wei and Yu Hang will join us.We can hardly wait to see them!Unit 4 A night the earth didn't sleep Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei.For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell, rose and fell.Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them.A smelly gas came out of the cracks.In the farmyards, the chickens and even the pig were too nervous to eat.Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide.Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds.At about 3:00 am on July 28, 1976, some people saw bright lights in the sky.The sounds of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky.In the city, who thought little of these events, were asleep as usual that night.At 3:42 am everything began to shake.It seemed as if the world was at an end!Eleven kilometers directly below the city the greatest earthquake of the 20th century had begun.It was felt in Beijing, which is more than two hundred kilometers away.One-third of the nation felt it.A huge crack that was eight kilometers long and thirty meters wide cut across houses, roads and canals.Steam burst from holes in the ground.Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt.In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins.The suffering of the people was extreme.Two-third of them died or were injured during the earthquake.Thousands of families were killed and many children were left without parents.The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400.000.But how could the survivors believe it was natural? Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed.All of the city's hospitals, 75%of its factories and buildings and 90%of its homes were gone.Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves.No wind, however, could blow them away.Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for travelling.The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel.Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again.Half a million pigs and millions of chickens were dead.Sand now filled the wells instead of water.People were shocked.Then, later that afternoon, another big quake which was almost as strong as the first one shook Tangshan.Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped under the ruins.More buildings fell down.Water, food, and electricity were hard to get.People began to wonder how long the disaster would last.All hope was not lost.Soon after the quakes, the army sent 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers.Hundreds of thousands of people were helped.The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead.To the north of the city, most of the 10,000 miners were rescued from the coal mines there.Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed.Fresh water was taken to the city by train, truck and plane.Slowly, the city began to breathe again.Unit 5 Elias' story My name is Elias.I am a poor black worker in South Africa.The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life.I was twelve years old.It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went to for advice.He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems.He was generous with his time, for which I was grateful.I needed his help because I had very little education.I began school at six.The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometers away.I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare.I could not read or write well.After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine.However, this was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg.Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work.The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest.He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg.I became more hopeful about my future.I never forgot how kind Mandela was.When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could.He said: “The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.” It was the truth.Black people could not vote or choose their leaders.They could not get the jobs they wanted.The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people.The places outside the towns where they were sent to live were the poorest parts of South Africa.No one could grow food there.In fact as Nelson Mandela said: “...we were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important, or fight the government.We chose to attack the laws.We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful;when this was not allowed...only then did we decide to answer violence with violence.” As a matter of fact, I do not like violence...but in 1963 I helped him blow up some government buildings.It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison.But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white people equal.The rest of Elias' story You cannot imagine how the name of Robben Island made us afraid.It was a prison from which no one can escape.There I spent the hardest time of my life.But when I got there Nelson Mandela was also there and he helped me.Mr Mandela began a school for those of us who had little learning.He taught us during the lunch breaks and the evenings when we should have been asleep.We read books under our blankets and use anything we could find to make candles to do that.Later, Mr Mandela allowed the prison guards to join us.He said they should not be stopped from studying for their degrees.They were not cleverer than me, but they did pass their exams.So I knew I could get a degree too.That made me feel good about myself.When I finished the four years in prison, I went to find a job.Since I was better educated, I got a job working in an office.However, the police found out and told my boss that I had been in prison for blowing up government buildings.So I lost my job.I did not work again for twenty years until Mr Mandela and the ANC came to power in 1994.All that time my wife and children had to beg for food and help from relatives or friends.Luckily Mr Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Island.I felt bad the first time I talked to a group.All the terror and fear of that time came back to me.I remembered the beatings and the cruelty of the guards and my friends who had died.I felt I would not be able to do it, but my family encouraged me.They said that the job and the pay from the new South African government were my reward after working all my life for equal rights for the blacks.So now at 51 I am proud to show visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own land.第一單元 友誼 Reading 安妮最好的朋友
你是不是想有一位無(wú)話(huà)不談能推心置腹的朋友呢?或者你是不是擔(dān)心你的朋友會(huì)嘲笑你,會(huì)不理解你目前的困境呢?安妮·弗蘭克想要的是第一種類(lèi)型的朋友,于是她就把日記當(dāng)成了她最好的朋友。安妮在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間住在荷蘭的阿姆斯特丹。她一家人都是猶太人,所以他們不得不躲藏起來(lái),否則他們就會(huì)被德國(guó)納粹抓去。她和她的家人躲藏了兩年之后才被發(fā)現(xiàn)。在這段時(shí)間里,她唯一的忠實(shí)朋友就是她的日記了。她說(shuō),“我不愿像大多數(shù)人那樣在日記中記流水賬。我要把這本日記當(dāng)作我的朋友,我要把我這個(gè)朋友稱(chēng)作基蒂”。現(xiàn)在,來(lái)看看安妮在藏身處躲了一年多之后的那種心情吧。
1944年6月15日 星期四 親愛(ài)的基蒂: 我不知道這是不是因?yàn)槲议L(zhǎng)久無(wú)法出門(mén)的緣故,我變得對(duì)一切與大自然有關(guān)的事物都無(wú)比狂熱。我記得非常清楚,以前,湛藍(lán)的天空、鳥(niǎo)兒的歌唱、月光和鮮花,從未令我心迷神往過(guò)。自從我來(lái)到這里,這一切都變了?!确秸f(shuō),有天晚上天氣很暖和,我熬到 11點(diǎn)半故意不睡覺(jué),為的是獨(dú)自好好看看月亮。但是因?yàn)樵鹿馓亮?,我不敢打開(kāi)窗戶(hù)。還有一次,就在五個(gè)月以前的一個(gè)晚上,我碰巧在樓上,窗戶(hù)是開(kāi)著的。我一直等到非關(guān)窗不可的時(shí)候才下樓去。漆黑的夜晚,風(fēng)吹雨打,雷電交加,我全然被這種力量鎮(zhèn)住了。這是我一年半以來(lái)第一次目睹夜晚…… 你的 安妮 Using Language Reading, listening and writing 親愛(ài)的王小姐: 我同班上的同學(xué)有件麻煩事。我跟我們班里的一位男同學(xué)一直相處很好,我們常常一起做家庭作業(yè),而且很樂(lè)意相互幫助。我們成了非常好的朋友??墒牵渌瑢W(xué)卻開(kāi)始在背后議論起來(lái),他們說(shuō)我和這位男同學(xué)在談戀愛(ài),這使我很生氣。我不想中斷這段友誼,但是我又討厭人家背后說(shuō)閑話(huà)。我該怎么辦呢? 莉薩 Reading and writing 尊敬的編輯: 我是蘇州高中的一名學(xué)生。我有一個(gè)難題,我不太善于同人們交際。雖然我的確試著去跟班上的同學(xué)交談,但是我還是發(fā)現(xiàn)很難跟他們成為好朋友。因此,有時(shí)候我感到十分孤獨(dú)。我確實(shí)想改變這種現(xiàn)狀,但是我卻不知道該怎么辦。如果您能給我提些建議,我會(huì)非常感激的。曉東
第二單元 世界上的英語(yǔ) Reading 通向 通向現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)之路 16世紀(jì)末期大約有5百萬(wàn)到7百萬(wàn)人說(shuō)英語(yǔ),幾乎所有這些人都生活在英國(guó)。在17世紀(jì)英國(guó)人開(kāi)始往世界其它地區(qū)遷移。于是,許多別的國(guó)家開(kāi)始說(shuō)英語(yǔ)了。如今說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的人比以往任何時(shí)候更多了,他們有的是作為第一語(yǔ)言來(lái)說(shuō),有的是作為第二語(yǔ)言或外語(yǔ)。中國(guó)也許是把英語(yǔ)作為外語(yǔ)來(lái)說(shuō)的人數(shù)最多的國(guó)家。以英語(yǔ)作為母語(yǔ)的人,即使他們所講的語(yǔ)言不盡相同,也可以互相交流。然而,他們可能不是什么都懂。比方說(shuō),一個(gè)英國(guó)人可能對(duì)她的朋友說(shuō):“請(qǐng)到我的公寓(flat)里來(lái)坐坐,好嗎?”她的一位美國(guó)朋友可能會(huì)問(wèn)她,“到哪兒去?”她的加拿大朋友可能會(huì)解釋說(shuō),“她的意思是要我們到她的房間(apartment)去?!?那么,英語(yǔ)在一段時(shí)間里為什么會(huì)起變化呢?當(dāng)不同文化互相溝通時(shí),所有的語(yǔ)言都會(huì)發(fā)生變化。從公元450年到1150年,人們所說(shuō)的英語(yǔ)跟今天所說(shuō)的英語(yǔ)就很不一樣。實(shí)際上,當(dāng)時(shí)的英語(yǔ)更多地是以德語(yǔ)為基礎(chǔ)的,而現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)不是。然后大約在公元 1150年到1500年期間,英語(yǔ)的變化就更大了,它不那么像德語(yǔ),而更像法語(yǔ)了,因?yàn)槟菚r(shí)的英國(guó)的統(tǒng)治者講法語(yǔ),它變得更接近你們正在學(xué)習(xí)的這種語(yǔ)言。在17世紀(jì),莎士比亞所用的詞匯量比以前任何時(shí)期都大。英語(yǔ)用法發(fā)生了一次大變化,那就是在諾厄·韋伯斯特編纂《美國(guó)英語(yǔ)詞典》的那個(gè)時(shí)期,這本詞典體現(xiàn)了美國(guó)英語(yǔ)的特色。后來(lái),有些英國(guó)人到了澳大利亞,那里的人也開(kāi)始說(shuō)英語(yǔ)了。如今,澳大利亞英語(yǔ)也有它自己的特色了。英語(yǔ)在南亞也被當(dāng)作外語(yǔ)或第二語(yǔ)言來(lái)使用。印度擁有眾多講英語(yǔ)的人,這是因?yàn)橛?guó)于1765 年到1947年統(tǒng)治過(guò)印度。在此期間,英語(yǔ)成了政府和教育的語(yǔ)言。在非洲和亞洲許多其它國(guó)家,比如南非、新加坡、馬來(lái)西亞等國(guó),人們也說(shuō)英語(yǔ)。在中國(guó),大約從1842年起,香港就開(kāi)始用英語(yǔ)了。目前在中國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的人數(shù)正在迅速增長(zhǎng)。中國(guó)英語(yǔ)將來(lái)會(huì)不會(huì)成為世界英語(yǔ)中的一種呢?這只好由時(shí)間來(lái)回答了。Using Language Reading and talking 什么是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語(yǔ)?是在英國(guó)、美國(guó)、加拿大、澳大利亞、印度、新西蘭所說(shuō)的英語(yǔ)嗎?信不信由你,(世界上)沒(méi)有什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語(yǔ)。許多人認(rèn)為,電視和收音機(jī)里所說(shuō)的就是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語(yǔ),這是因?yàn)樵谠缙诘碾娕_(tái)節(jié)目里,人們期望新聞播音員所說(shuō)的英語(yǔ)是最好的英語(yǔ)。然而,即使在電視和收音機(jī)里,你也會(huì)聽(tīng)出人們?cè)谡f(shuō)話(huà)時(shí)的差異。當(dāng)人們用不同于“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)語(yǔ)言”的詞語(yǔ)時(shí),那就叫做方言。美國(guó)英語(yǔ)有許多方言,特別是中西部和南部地區(qū)的方言,以及黑人和西班牙人的方言。在美國(guó)有些地區(qū),相鄰城鎮(zhèn)的兩地人所說(shuō)的方言都可能稍有不同。美國(guó)英語(yǔ)之所以有這么多的方言是因?yàn)槊绹?guó)人是來(lái)自世界各地的緣故。地理位置對(duì)方言的產(chǎn)生也有影響。住在美國(guó)東部山區(qū)的某些人說(shuō)著比較古老的英語(yǔ)方言。當(dāng)美國(guó)人從一個(gè)地方搬到另一個(gè)地方時(shí),他們也就把他們的方言隨著帶去了。因此,美國(guó)東南部山區(qū)的人同美國(guó)西北部的人所說(shuō)的方言就幾乎相同。美國(guó)是一個(gè)大國(guó),國(guó)內(nèi)說(shuō)著許許多多的方言。雖然許多美國(guó)人經(jīng)常在搬家,但是他們?nèi)匀荒軌虮鎰e彼此的方言。
第三單元 游記 Reading 沿湄公河而下的旅程 第一部分 夢(mèng)想與計(jì)劃 我的名字叫王坤。從高中起,我姐姐王薇和我就一直夢(mèng)想作一次偉大的自行車(chē)旅行。到大學(xué)畢業(yè)時(shí),我們終于有了機(jī)會(huì)。首先想到要沿湄公河從源頭到終點(diǎn)騎車(chē)旅游的是我的姐姐。她喜歡在鄉(xiāng)下作長(zhǎng)途自行車(chē)旅行。兩年前,她買(mǎi)了一輛價(jià)錢(qián)昂貴的山地自行車(chē),然后她還說(shuō)服我也買(mǎi)了一輛(山地車(chē))。去年她(騎車(chē))去看望了我們的表兄弟——在昆明讀大學(xué)的刀衛(wèi)和宇航。他們是傣族人,在云南省西部靠近瀾滄江的地方長(zhǎng)大,湄公河在中國(guó)境內(nèi)的這一段叫瀾滄江,在其他國(guó)家(境內(nèi))叫湄公河。很快,王薇使表兄弟也對(duì)騎車(chē)旅游產(chǎn)生了興趣。王薇有時(shí)確實(shí)很固執(zhí)。盡管她對(duì)到某些地方的最佳路線(xiàn)并不清楚,她卻堅(jiān)持我們要找到河的源頭,并從那里開(kāi)始我們的行程。她告訴我,她要把這次旅游安排得盡善盡美。于是,我就知道這個(gè)盡善盡美的方式總是她的方式。我問(wèn)她是否看過(guò)地圖。當(dāng)然她并沒(méi)有看過(guò)——我的姐姐是不會(huì)考慮細(xì)節(jié)的。于是,我告訴她,湄公河的源頭在青海省。她給了我一個(gè)堅(jiān)定的眼神——這種眼神表明她是不會(huì)改變主意的。我說(shuō),我們的旅行將從5, 000多米的高地出發(fā),這時(shí)她似乎顯得很興奮。當(dāng)我告訴她那里空氣稀薄,呼吸困難,而且天氣很冷時(shí),她卻說(shuō)這將是一次有趣的經(jīng)歷。我非常了解我的姐姐,她一旦下了決心,什么也不能使她改變。最后,我只好讓步了。在我們旅行前的幾個(gè)月,王薇和我去了圖書(shū)館。我們找到一本大型地圖冊(cè),里面有一些世界地理的明細(xì)圖。我老是問(wèn)她,“我們什么時(shí)候動(dòng)身?什么時(shí)候回來(lái)?”我們從圖上可以看到,湄公河發(fā)源于西藏一座山上的冰川。起初,江面很小,河水清澈而冷冽,然后它開(kāi)始快速流動(dòng)。它穿過(guò)深谷時(shí)就變成了急流,流經(jīng)云南西部。有時(shí),這條江進(jìn)入寬闊的峽谷,就形成了瀑布。我們倆驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)這條河有一半是在中國(guó)境內(nèi)。當(dāng)流出中國(guó),流出高地之后,湄公河就變寬了,變暖了,河水也變成了黃褐色。而當(dāng)它進(jìn)入東南亞以后,河水慢慢地穿過(guò)小山和低谷,以及長(zhǎng)著稻谷的平原。最后,湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中國(guó)南海。Using Language Reading and speaking 夜晚的西藏山景 第二部分 山中一宿 雖然是秋天,但是西藏已經(jīng)開(kāi)始下雪了。我們感到腿又沉又冷,還以為腿結(jié)成冰了呢。你看到過(guò)雪人騎自行車(chē)嗎?像往常一樣,王薇在我的前面,我知道我用不著給她鼓勁兒。上山很艱難,而下山卻很好玩。等我們到達(dá)山谷,天氣就暖和多了,我們不得不把帽子、外衣、手套和長(zhǎng)褲換成T恤衫和短褲。然后,當(dāng)我們到達(dá)較冷的高地時(shí),我們又得換衣服。剛到傍晚,我們就停下來(lái)宿營(yíng),先把帳篷支起來(lái),然后吃飯。晚飯后,王薇就去睡覺(jué)了,而我卻睡不著。半夜里,天空變得清朗了,星星很亮。山里非常安靜——那天晚上幾乎沒(méi)有風(fēng),只有篝火的聲音。我們已經(jīng)走得很遠(yuǎn)了,馬上就要到達(dá)云南的大理。在那里,我們的表兄弟刀衛(wèi)和宇航將加入我們的行列。我們迫不及待地想要見(jiàn)到他們!
四單元 地震 Reading 地球的一個(gè)不眠之夜 河北省東北部的農(nóng)村不斷有些怪事發(fā)生:三天來(lái),村子里的井水升升降降,起起伏伏。農(nóng)夫注意到,水井的井壁上有深深的裂縫,裂縫里冒出臭氣。農(nóng)家大院里的雞, 甚至豬都緊張得不吃食。老鼠從田地里跑出來(lái)找地方藏身。魚(yú)缸和池塘里的魚(yú)會(huì)往外跳。1976年7月28日凌晨3點(diǎn)左右,人們看到天上一道道明亮的光。即使天空沒(méi)有飛機(jī),在唐山城外也可以聽(tīng)到飛機(jī)聲。在市內(nèi),有些建筑物里的水管爆裂開(kāi)來(lái)。但是,唐山市的一百萬(wàn)居民幾乎都沒(méi)有把這些情況當(dāng)一回事,當(dāng)天晚上照常上床睡覺(jué)了。凌晨3點(diǎn)42分,一切都開(kāi)始搖晃起來(lái)。世界似乎到了末日!二十世紀(jì)最大的一次地震就在唐山市正下方11公里處發(fā)生了,100公里以外的北京市都聽(tīng)到了地震聲,全國(guó)1 / 3的地方都有震感。一條8公里長(zhǎng)30米寬的巨大裂縫橫穿房舍、馬路和渠道。地上一些洞穴冒出了蒸氣。石頭山變成了泥沙河,在可怕的15秒鐘內(nèi),一座大城市就沉淪在一片廢墟之中。2/3的人在地震中死去或受傷。成千上萬(wàn)個(gè)完整的家庭遇難,許許多多的孩子變成了孤兒。死傷的人數(shù)達(dá)到40多萬(wàn)。幸存的人們又怎么能相信這是自然現(xiàn)象呢?人們無(wú)論朝哪里看,哪里的一切都幾乎被毀了。所有的市內(nèi)醫(yī)院、75%的工廠(chǎng)和建筑物、90%的家園都消失了。殘磚就像秋天的紅葉覆蓋著大地,然而它們是不可能被風(fēng)刮走的。兩座大壩垮了,多數(shù)橋梁不是塌了就是無(wú)法安全通行了。鐵軌如今成了一條條廢鋼。好幾萬(wàn)頭牛再也擠不出奶來(lái)。50萬(wàn)頭豬和幾百萬(wàn)只雞全都死了。井里滿(mǎn)是沙子,而不是水。人們驚呆了。接著,在下午晚些時(shí)候,又一次強(qiáng)烈的地震震撼著唐山。有些醫(yī)生和救援人員被困在廢墟下面。更多的房屋倒塌了。水、電和食物都很難弄到。人們開(kāi)始納悶,這場(chǎng)災(zāi)難還會(huì)持續(xù)多久。不是所有的希望都破滅了。部隊(duì)派了15萬(wàn)名戰(zhàn)士到唐山來(lái)協(xié)助救援人員,數(shù)十萬(wàn)的人得到了援助。救援人員組成小分隊(duì),將受困的人們挖出來(lái),將死者掩埋。在唐山市的北邊,有一個(gè)萬(wàn)名礦工的煤礦,其中多數(shù)人得救了。援救人員為那些家園被毀的幸存者蓋起了避難所,用火車(chē)、卡車(chē)和飛機(jī)向市內(nèi)運(yùn)來(lái)了水。慢慢地、慢慢地,這座城市又開(kāi)始出現(xiàn)了生機(jī)。Using Language Reading, writing and speaking 200()年7月5日 中國(guó)唐山市政府辦公室 親愛(ài)的同學(xué): 恭喜你!我們很高興地告訴你,你在以新唐山為主題的中學(xué)演講比賽中獲得第一名。評(píng)委會(huì)的五位評(píng)委聽(tīng)了你的演講,他們都認(rèn)為你的那篇是今年收到的演講稿中最好的一篇。你的父母親和你的學(xué)校應(yīng)該為你而驕傲!下個(gè)月我們市將開(kāi)放一個(gè)新公園,以紀(jì)念在那次可怕的災(zāi)難中死去的人們,并向那些曾經(jīng)為幸存者提供過(guò)幫助的人們致敬。我們辦公室想請(qǐng)你在7月28日上午11點(diǎn)給來(lái)公園的參觀(guān)者進(jìn)行演講。你知道,二十()年前的這一天正是唐山發(fā)生地震的日子。在這個(gè)特殊的日子里,我們邀請(qǐng)你把家人和朋友一起帶來(lái)。張沙

Memories of Christmas圣誕節(jié)對(duì)于圣誕的記憶
For me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold, windy month of November.對(duì)于我,圣誕總是開(kāi)始于是涼風(fēng)中的十一月中期。My sister, Alison, and I sat down in front of the fire and wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him about all the presents we wanted.我的妹妹Alison和我一起坐在爐火前,寫(xiě)下我們想要的禮物來(lái)告訴圣誕老人。We seriously wrote “Father Christmas, the North Pole” on the envelope, before giving them to our mother to post.我們很認(rèn)真地寫(xiě)下“致北極的圣誕老人”,然后會(huì)給媽媽寄出去。
With December our excitement grew each day-as we opened the new year calendar, Christmas cards arrived in the post, Christmas lights appeared in the streets, and we attended the town carol service.隨著十二月我們的興奮感一天一天地增長(zhǎng)——我們會(huì)開(kāi)啟新一年的日歷,寄出圣誕卡,看著圣誕燈出現(xiàn)在街道上,參加城鎮(zhèn)的圣歌服務(wù)。And of course, there was snow everywhere.Enough snow to make snowmen, and to have exciting snowball fights in the school playground.當(dāng)然,到處的是雪的緣故,我們有足夠的原料來(lái)做雪人,可以在學(xué)校運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)上打刺激的雪戰(zhàn)。
On Christmas Eve, the whole family helped to decorate the house, put up the Christmas tree, the decorations and the balloons.在平安夜,全家人都一起幫忙裝飾房子,準(zhǔn)備圣誕樹(shù)、裝飾品和氣球。Then, in the afternoon, when Auntie Kathleen and my two cousins arrived, everything was ready.到了下午Auntie Kathleen和我的兩個(gè)堂兄弟來(lái)的時(shí)候一切就都準(zhǔn)備好了。Before we went to bed, we left some wine and biscuits for Father Christmas and then put our stockings at the end of our beds.在睡覺(jué)之前,我們留了點(diǎn)酒和餅干給圣誕老人,接著將長(zhǎng)襪掛在床尾。We tried to stay awake as long as possible to see Father Christmas but the next thing we knew it was morning.Christmas morning!我們盡可能地嘗試在圣誕老人來(lái)之前保持清醒,但等我們?cè)儆幸庾R(shí)時(shí)就已經(jīng)是早上了。圣誕節(jié)的早上!
At the bottom of the bed was the stocking, now full of all kinds of small presents and sweets.現(xiàn)在在床尾掛著的是裝滿(mǎn)各種禮物和糖果的長(zhǎng)襪。Christmas morning was bright and sunny and , after church, my cousin David and I went out into the garden to play with our new presents.圣誕的一早明媚而晴朗,到教堂以后我和堂兄David一起跑出花園玩新收到的禮物。

After lunch, the adults slept on the sofas in front of the Queen’s speech on television while we all played cards.午飯之后,大人看著電視里放著的王后的演講在沙發(fā)上睡著了,而我們?nèi)咳硕荚谕婵ㄆ螒?。Then we had tea, with a huge Christmas cake covered with snowmen.It didn’t seem possible, but we carried on eating.By bedtime all of the children were very tired.之后我們就著有雪人裝飾的大的圣誕蛋糕喝了茶。雖然看起來(lái)不可能,但我們還在繼續(xù)吃。As soon as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep, happy sleep.到睡覺(jué)時(shí)間時(shí)我們都已經(jīng)很累了。我們熄燈的一瞬間我們就沉沉地睡著了,進(jìn)入了一個(gè)悠長(zhǎng)的美好的夢(mèng)境。
