                             【34. Helping the Remote Village 援助山村】

    A year ago, the famous astronaut received an invitation by airmail fro a remote village. Intending to sniff some fresh air, he and his interpreter paid a fortnight visit there. It was a privilege for them to be there, but they were shocked by what they saw.

    The tracks were muddy. The river was drying up. Most villages only possessed one broom, a few tins and several jars and their rectangular grass huts with round angles were surrounded by weeds. Besides, their school had no roof and platform, and the students had no concept of clicking a computer at all. There were badly in need.

    Soon, the astronaut made a generous voluntary donation to the village. There were textbooks for students, sewing machines for tailors and tractors for farmers. His dstribution catalogue also included operating a clinic and a trunk library, as well as giving weekly lessons to teach relevant farming knowledge like how to dry out seeds or raise oxen. He himself not only helped do some paperwork but also purchased grills for boys to toast potatoes and combs for girls who were dying to get one.

    The other day, he heard from the villagers again iviting him to participate in the donation anniversary. For political and security reasons, he couldn't adjust his outgoing arrangement, otherwise he would go. But his deeds were remembered forever.

                              【35. Study in America 留学美国】

    Nannan's father runs an enterprise near the Ming Tombs selling batteries and drills to the Daqing Oilfield. Hoping to get the qualifiation to help govern it, Nannan made much preparation and then left her motherland with her visa, to study in America. 

    Having reached her destination, she settled in an inn recommened by the travel agent. As far as Nannan was concerned, she always kept it up in China. But she had to acknowledge it was not easy to adjust herself to the new academic requirements, which were not parallel with China's. Though she was occupied with lectures and seminars day in and day out, the essays she drafted were still contradicted by her tutors. 

    As for her routine life, she felt that it was hard to fit in, too. For example, she found English idioms difficult to understand. And it was out of the question to eat delicous Chinese foods though many optional cafeterias served abundant substitutes. In addition, she had to wait in a queue early for the minibus that took her to school and it was usually so cold that she felt numb.

    What bothered her most was that she received no apology when her sleeping was disturbed by a barking dog in a shopkeeper's cage. 

    Luckily, with her parents comforting her by videophone, she became autonomous soon and eventually got her bachelor's degree successfully.

                               【36. Immigrate to America 移民美国】

    Attracted by the boom in America, my nephew teamed up with a Korean to illegally cross the Bearing Strait in the Arctic to America. To Avoid the Cusoms' punishmen, they hid in a small ferry called the North Pole Seagull, sitting back to back without sleeping, showering and shaving for 3 days, and had no chance to mourn their lost luggage when landing. 

    The hardship of this crossing was apparent. At first, he made a living by means of raising cattle and then ws hired in aircraft industries. He lived in a Catholic district. Taking in a small percentage of Pakistani unnugrants, the majority of the residents were from Italy and Denmark, who all kept up their customs and cultures. Different blocks here were distinctly marked out and indicated from the racial angle. It was unfair and needed reforming.

    But with nowhere else to go, my nephew lived on and managed to make a life for himself. My nephew's furtune came when he bravely helped a conductor brake a ream to stop it from slipping out of the rails.The man was elected vice chairman of the SocialistParty later. It occurred to my nephew that he could grasp this opportunity to ask for his help. The man who was thankful helped him apply to the civil authority for theiright to live in America, his application was approved by the Federal Justice Ministry. 

    Before long, he started his own bakery and lived a better life. 

                          【37. Be Careful about Cloning 谨慎对待克隆】

    After a series of initial experiments and corrections, the scientist's hard work paid off when the twin clone turkeys were hatched with normal feather and claws. Thie breakthrough possibly enabled people to bring their adored pets back to life.

    However, it bothered him from time to time that their health was in poor condition because they were unable to resist illnesses. This drawback cast him down. Merely 2 weeks later, the clones and their carrier died, which struck frustration into his heart. He retired before he attained his ambition and became a member of an opera horus to relieve his depression.

    Shortly afterwards, the media published a conservative aygument objecting to clonging owing to moral problems, and suggested the constitution include compulsory regulations to forbid obtaining commercial progits from cloning.

    When interviewed, the scientist stared at the decorations on the ceiling, thinking for a while, and then said, I'm not in favour of any arbitrary assumption, but undertaking cloning does differ from the straightforward procedure of making loafs out of flour. Until we accumulate enough exact knowledge, any practice is in vain and is bound to fail. 

    Altogether, being more careful is reasonable or we may walk into a side road.

                     【38. Strange Patent Applications 奇怪的专利申请】

    I set about working in the current Patent Office after resigning from the court personnel. Competent and dynamic, i never feel passive while diving into the identifications of whether applications are valid and practical according to the new version of the criteria. 

    With the expectation of distinguishing their own importance, some people leave the beaten track and file strange products with us now and then, for example, lantern that can be attached on your forehead, cubix walnuts, refrigerator made of straw and glue, perfume that nobody can bear to smell, and so on.

    Once, a man made a striangle helicopter out of stainless wires and string. He called us up and merrily claimed it was stable and convenient to use, and never out of order.  I asked him to hang on, but this innocent man just rang off and set out to fly from his courtyard. I dailed his number in the directory trying to ring him back, but never got through. Merciful God blessing,  on abrupt freezing rainfall made his powder wet. Luckily, the trouble was without any extension except that he crashed into a greengrocer's making all the ripe fruits become messy jam. When people seized this crazy man with caution and sobered him by tapping his face, he complained about the bad weather instead of associating his failure with his unscientific design.

                        【39. Pronunciation and Status 口音与身份】

    An ambassador and a referee were consulting a professor on the caption of a Buddhistic alphabet when a sobbing woman stopped them to sell an antique musical bathtub. Her dirty garment and the handkerchief around her waist were badly in need of sending to a laundry. The ambassador uncomfortably gave her a handful of pence from his wallet and said, "Take this fortune away, troublesome woman." When her figure faded away, the brilliant professor said, "You are mistaken and your improper remark on her should be condemned. In the terms of this extraordinary woman, you can't classify her status by her horrible clothese or disgusting nails. Her clean woolen vest and stockings, expecially her classic pronunciation, all suggested her upper status." The ambassador gave a whistle in amazement, and advised making her acquaintance. The professor hesitated for a while, then compromised.

    The outcome was that she was an authentic superior police officer. When they were shown in her office and saw her once more, she brought them a teapot of tea and some cookies, laughing and saying, "I rubbed some cream and wax on my garment and passed myself off as a shabby woman among thieves and robbers to investigate a plot. Generally speaking, your overlooking me and my adaptation are the best help. But mu pronunciation seemed to have betrayed me."

                                【40. A Sly Murder 一宗狡猾的谋杀案】

    When giving a lecture about the significance of punctuation, the academic professor was interrupted and arrested by the police for murdering his wife, a receptionist of a kindergarten. The police found some photos he deleted from their e-album showing that they used to have a gay life. 

    But fed up with her wrinkled face, he murdered her instead of divorcing her to avoid fortune devision. He cut up a kind of seashell with a sharpened knife, and hammered it into powder on a shateboard, and made at most one gram, which was enough to accelerate one's pulse until he or she dies. This kind of poison can date back to 10,000 BC when people rubbed it on spears to kill beasts. The professor mixed the poison with onion, watermelon and yogurt for his wife.  Howling and scratching her chest, she felt dizzy and diet soon. 

    After tentative examination, the police assumed she died of heart disease. But systematic botanical analyses showed that the watermelon sit on the messy mat nd the quilt was poisonous.

    Regardless of exhaustion and starvation, the acute and skilful policemen used radioactive equipment to make sure the category of the poison. Primitive and not ample as their alternative equipment was, they got perfect accuracy somehow. People applauded the police and the woman's family can look ahead with relief now.

                 【22. Sightseeing in the United Kingdom 观光联合王国】

    After  the wedding, my cousin and his wife went to the United Kingdom for nationwide sightseeing. He faxed a letter to me in English yesterday. To my delight, he no longer made any tense error. And his description roughly clarified my questions abou the UK-its currency, its administration, the instituion which devides it into four provinces, and the historical conflicts and quarries when Southern Ireland broke away from the UK.  Unwilling to leave out any attraction, my cousin arranged his enjoyable journey carefully. One attractive place he visited was a castle in the countryside of Scotland, which lies near a port. It used to be the headquarters of the Communism Union but broke down during the war. Finding nothing could take the place of this splendid architecture, people accomplished rebuilding it in 1952. It was to their credit that all furnished rooms are consistent with what they used to be. My cousin was thrilled by its collections consisting of statues plus royal uniforms folded in glass tanks. Though there was no possibility to buy some of these exhibits, it was convenient to take photos, which he sent me along with his fax.

                        【23. An Air Crash 飞机失事】

    I was a previous typist in a post office. Because I couldn't tolerate typing any more postage bills or postcodes on the trpewriter everyday, I resigned. With a greedy motivation of making big money, I took up working as a business representative for the G.E Ecology Company, which produced goods by recycling useful materials from our dustbins. My new job lefr me good impressions in many aspects except that the working timetable was full of traveling by jets. Once, when speeding up, our jt was swallowed by a thunderstorm, which destroyed our GPS receiver and made us lose sight of the directions. A constantly flashing light showed that our jet was in danger. A steward instantly asked us to put on masks and fasten the safety belts, and then pressed a button to swith on the escaping capsule. It slid sideways out of the opening at once and landed in a desert area safely. Lacking food and tablets, we were nervous and uncertain at first. But we all kept optimistic and made adjustment to the situation. We swept up the surrounding mud to make our settlement and were back on our feet soon. Finally, guided by the smoke of our crashing jet, some local citizens came by carriages and saved us.

                        【24. An Amateur Journalist 业余记者】

    Jane is a housewife, but delighted to work as an amateur journalist. It is a dilemma for her to rush between family and work, and it is also unusual for the News Department to depend on an amateur to cover crimes. But Jane is really gifted. It is admirable that she is seldom accused of making mistakes. And, eager to become more professional, she concentractes on her job and updates herself now and then.

    Once she is informed of a new case, her normal working process is as follows: first, she makes oppointments with guilty people for interviews. So as to acquire accurate stories, she usually demands to record what they say. Meanwhile, a technically good colleague will assist her in taking photographs. Second, she assesses whether they are deliberately hiding the truth. If she is skeptical about their words, she will look into the case herself. Third, she writes thorough stories ahead of the deadline and submits it to the senior chief edictor, who polishes and approves every section. Finally, her stories will bepublished in different editions of their magazine.

                             【25. First Aid 急救】

    A boy fell ill. His organs were damaged by the radiation of an infrared ray stove. But before the ambulanced arrived, a number of other injuries happened to this unlucky boy over and over again.

    First, he was chocked by some poisonous liquid from the kettle on the cupboard. Then his wrist skin was burnt by electric shock. Finally, his ankle was cut by a pan.

    Fortunately, the boy's nurse gave him preper temporary treatments according to his complext symptoms. She mildly squeezed the poisonous liquid out of his throat and put bandages firmly in place to apply pressure to the ankle wound to stop bleeding. As for the burn, she used scissors to remove his sleeve, poured a basin of cold water over the burn to cool it and put her hands on a damp blouse to cover his swollen tissue tightly. She also inspired his bravery to fight against the unbearable pain. Her first aid made a vital difference in saving his hife.

    A ceremony was held to honour her nurse who overcame a variety of barriers to save the boy.

                      【26. AbstractArt 抽象艺术】

    Abstract art used to be controversial.

    On one hand, the artists stopped painting delicate figures but attempted to adopt special techniques to give people different visual impacts. On the other hand, their works, including sculptures carved out of marble or fragile clay, were all with a specific aim of showing feelings.

    Some convertional scholars who were allergic to abstract art said it was evidently ridiculous and neither art nor geometry. Their Traditonal Art Committee predicted its soon disappearing.

    But nowadays, abstract art has become part of the permanent possessions of contemporary civilization. Galleries along the Madison Avenue give scores of superd exhibitions on typical abstract works, appealing to many who have preference for abstract art.

    The Shadow of Egypt, a cafe in this district, has become the home to those aggressive abstract artists. Consequently, it is not a coincidence for you to meet one of these artists of great reputation in the flesh. They are asked to signatures and given bunches of fragrant flowers plus they are given a great deal of praise by their faithful fans.

                               【27. Russian Poem 俄国童谣】

    Since childhood, Anton had often recited poems, accompanied by pianists and violinists, at wedding ceremonies before brides and bridegrooms exchanged rings.

    Gradually, he found writting poems the most appropriate way to convey his joy and sorrow. When his poem Contradictory Blank won him a national championship and a scholoarship to the Moscow University from a sponsor, he was just an unknown librarian. After getting his diploma, he devoted his life to writing peoms.

    Using concrete but flexible language and the minimum of words is his style. He tried out different patterns and preferred nursery rhyme in particular. The following is a translation of one of his works made up of 3 secions:

                         【28. Let's Help Adolescents 帮助青少年】

    Whether they are male or female, adolescents feel like deciding on everything themselves in spite of parents' instruction, especially when they face problems like sex, mental stress, etc, which make them feel ashamed and embarrassed. Thus they often automatically get into troubles due to their imperfect comprehension and judgement. Some are addicted to cigarettes, only several packets of which will hurt their lungs and make them breathless quickly. Others can't quit drinking alcohol, whose harmful effects include causing young pregnant women to abort or give birth to abnormal babies. The worst is drug abuse, for the withdrawal is tough once their bodies are accustomed to the drugs. Meanwhile, those who share needles bought from illegal chemists are at great risk of being infected with desperate AIDS. If so, neither injuecting nor taking pills can guarantee their survival. However, don't be disappointed at or have prejudice against our children so easily. After all, being awkward is an appendix of youth. As long as we strengthen communication with them instead of only banning this or banning that, we will surely help them avoid anything unhealthy.（？）

                       【29. Refresh Our Environment 恢复环境生机】

    As the director stated on behalf of his researching group, the data of this graph makes a clear presentation of the future environmental tendency. 

    On one hand, the quantity of fuel keeps an decreasing by 9% per year while the growth of a wide range of pollution has been a global trend. On the other hand, the mildly but steadily going up of the average temperature is resulting in catastrophes like widespread floods.

    Without disagreement, they subscride to the view that it is humans' existence and their randomly consuming energy that result in this phenomenon. Many people have a commitment that developing nuclear power or energy from outer space will stop bad consequences coming about. However, scientists and educators are opposed to this view even if our needs may be met on the whole. They tend to advocate refreshing our circumstances by savingenergy and recycling waste. It is suggested that we use energy-saving applicances such as electrical motors, microwaves and so on and not be casual about little things like recycling a can. 

    So please glance around and see what you can do. So long as everybody makes contribution, we will not have to put up with his problem anymore.

                           【30. Volcana Eruption 火山爆发】

    As the best candidate, I was appointed to collect and evaluate information for a database about diverse natural disasters, such as hurricanes, typhoons or thunderstorms.

   Sometimes I did this by giving out questionnaires to those who went through them. But sometimes I had to go through  actual disasters myself.

    The Musaki Volcano was one of them. At that time, I lived i a bungalow alongside the volcano with a novelist, who came for the appreciation of its eruption. One day, when I was drawing diagrams on the balcony and he was bathing inside, the volcano erpted enexpectedly. The ash and lava fountains shooting highly in the sky varied from 50 to 100 meters in height. It was absolutely fantastic! I even noticed a rainbow appear in the fog caused by a hear wave. But, glancing through our surroundings, I foresaw the potential danger and found no guarantee of our safety. The uncomfortable gas almost made us unconscious. Sweats of anxiety began to drop. Managing to stop panicking and trembling, we quickly put on our protective suits, helmets and boots and eventaully made our way to a safe place. How lucky we were even though my precious equipment and documents were all burnt to the ground.

    Yang's ambition was to get an architect certificate or become a bowling master. But when he was conducting experiments with a microscope in the basement, a tank on the bench exploded, sending him flying ourwards through the exit. He was out of breath while knowing he lost his eyesight as well as 70% of his hearing. 

    In other words, he was disabled. Feeling clumsy, he was annoyed at first, though nobody made fun of him. He cut out going outdoors and just sat around at home, talking to his parrot or tortoise silently. His sister resigned to help him in many ways. Her assistance and encouragement were so benificial to his psychology that he adapted to his disability soon and became ourgoing again.

    In a college accessible to him, he studied politics and literature. He always sat in the front row newr the entry without any absence and, with the help of his handy laptop, he studied well by means of dictation. His thesis, Abolishing Slavery, met with all professors' approval. After class, he and his companions ofter played drum music, which was noisy but suitable for his hearing. After graduation, he made high profits by designing software for a firm. 

    All in all, in his community, he won his dignity and people;s congratulations. He always wished all the best to his disabled fellows and encourage them. "Never mind! All you have is adequate to get your achievement. ”

    As a talented navy officer, he was bound to be busy. When his wife rang him up to declare her divorce alarm. he was still scanning a digital counter to check the data so as to give an assessment of the theoretical framework for a biochemical weapon. His junior staff's sympathy made him feel embarrassed.

    His wife was a part-time clerk. With his high bonus, she lived in a grand house with elegant cushions and bedding. Her favour was reading stars' biographies or absured fictions with endles chapters in her armchair. 

    People envied her leisure life very much. But in fact, she was tired of being left alone. She sent emails to his mailbox every week to state her thinking and ask for his accompaniment, but never received reply of satisfaction. Tired of his explanation that he must obey the orders, she filed for divorce.

    Because he desired to get their holy affection back, he set other affairs aside. He trimmed his fingernails short and changed his overweight rigure as well as his awful haircut. He wore an apron to prepare delicious cuisine for her. He also bought her a necklace and piles of flowers hoping that their receiver could turn around. 

    After being tested out for a months in all, he eventaully succeeded.

    Mark rented an accommodation with his pension near the shore. He paid annual visits there to enjoy the vivid beauty in the depths of the pure sea.

    Once, with his underwater telescope and flashlight, Mark dived along the boundary between the steep reef and the area of seaweed conservation. Suddenly, an awesome Antartic seal with sharp teeth appeared opposite him. Every cell in his blood was scared to death. But soon, he was aware that he wasn't the target of an attack. With a neat wound in its lip caused by a shark, this grey seal was washed upside down by the tides time after time. But it tried to jog Mark as if to urge him to help it. So Mark abandoned fleeing away. With its teamwork, Mark used a net to drag the deal to the shallow water. Without pausing he helped it out after a simple operation and settled it in a narrow cave by the seaside. Every time he brought it tasty fish, it would yell and suck his hands happlily.

                       【20. A Unique Theme Park 独一无二的主题公园】

    As oon as our shuttle got close to the theme park by the freeway, everyone came to life and put on cloth sneakers in advance for an outing. 

    Our translator paid for the admission, and we started enjoying the various attractions in the sunlight. According to the travel brochure, this unique park is famour for its well preserved minority culture. We experienced many deeds of the early settlers such as swinging across rivers, hunting creatures in the jungle, or taking part in swords fighting tournaments.

    This park is also famous for its wooden souvenirs. Whichever we bought in the central shop was made of wood, and wherever we went we could see monority carpenters working. They made wooden tools, wooden cartoo figures, wooden athletic products and so on. They even built a huge wooden engine with a length of 20 meters, which was modeled after a real one. 

    This theme park is really a fantasy amusement park. No wonder it has become the brand of local tourism.

                          【21.A Strange Disease】

    When the construction of the firework factory came to the stage of painting, a pump was put in. Then, all the painters in the neighbourhood were defeated by a severe disease whose characteristic was alike to that of a bad burn. An expert physician was instructed to attend to victims and handle this case. He was enthusiastic, but he didn't foresee that it was a hard challenge. After simple enquiry, he announced that the polluted paint was to blame. But without positive evidence, people suspected and rejected his view, saying they theory he put forward made no sense. Being much more strict with himself, he contributed himself to the case. Apart from making enquiries, he made detailed charts and analysed the data cautiously. Finally, he drew a scientific conclusion, linking the disease to the radium in the pump. Exposed to radium, a kind of radioactive material in the universe, people absorbed radiation and got sick immediately. Spinning the pump backward, he took away the radium. This simple movement cured all the victims.

                                  【11.An interestng Festival】

    The Agricultural Feast takes place after the Independence Day. It is not a worldwide celebration. Only Christians in Mexico look forward to its arrival for its religious origin:

    Long ago, humans' ancestors were bad. They fooled and played tricks on each other and never kept their word. So God turned up and drowned all their crops. Humans starved day and night, weeping. In order to gain God's forgiveness, a woman poet set off to see God. She admired God and kept apologizing. God was moved. With his permission, humans finally had good harvests again. So, to wipe sadness and remind themselves of the belief in God, people began the festival.

    On the festival, people gather in open air, such as playgrounds or parking lots, and energetically have fun with each other all night long,  as though they were never tired. When a beauty dressup up in lovely clothing reads poems in memory of the poet, everyone holds their breath. Then, it is the custom that the bone of a rooster head is given to her as an award. Obviously, the story is not true, but the festival is interesting.

                                   【12.Balanced diet 平衡膳食】

    Wang Peng earned his living by running a barbecue restaurant, which served delicious bacon, fried chicken breast and mutton roasted with pepper and garlic. But his food and discount attracted fewer and fewer customers. Finally, he was in debt. Yong Hui's slimming restaurant erved fresh peas, carrots, eggplants, and raw cucumbers with vinegar. Ad the hostess, she said fibres benefited customers' digestion the most. In order not to let Yong Hui get away with telling lies, Wang Peng spied on Yong Hui despite her glare. But he was surprised that she was losing her customers, too.

    Curiosity drove Wang Peng to consult an expert. The expert sighed and said, "Both of your menus have weakness and limited strength. Your customers put on weight too easily, which Yong Hui's customers lose weight too quickly. So, Wang Peng, cut down the fat of your food and increase vegetoables and fruits, like nuts. beans, mushrooms, peaches and lemonds. You ought to combine the two menus and provide a balanced diet."

   Before long, Wang Peng won his customers back.

                                    【13.Sailing Home 划船回家】

    This novel was about an unbelievable but genuine adventure. Its author was a black businessman who was brought up in America. In 1956, he visited Afirca, his birthplace. One day, when he was wandering on the pavement near the bay enjoying the sea scenes, he lost money and passport that he kept in an envelope. So he went to the embassy to seek help, but the ambassador with rude manners didn't permit his staff to help though he bowed to him. Staring at his impatient face, he understood that it was the fault of his skin colour that accounted for their rejection. So he decided to take a change to sail on a small boat hom.

    He met a large amount of difficulty but never stopped. On the contrary, difficulty pushed him to go ahead harder. Three months later, he was spotted by a ship by accident. He was in rags indeed. A maid even screamed when bringing him a steak and pineapple dessert. Aboard, he earned his passage by working as a barber and got home finally. As for the name of his novel, he couldn't think of a better one than the phrase "Go Ahead".

                                    【14.Explore MKII 探测MKII行星】

    MKII, a planet billions of kilometers away, is the origin life in many religions. Physicists have proved the theory that its gentle climate and the pull of its gravity are similar to the earth's. And astronomers have found that oxygen atoms and carbon dioxide, which are fundamental to life, exist in its atmosphere through satellites. Cheered up by this news, biologists, in their turn, began to do some research to remove people's puzzles-Now that there are some suitable conditions, dose life really exist on this globe? Do they multiply by laying eggs or giving birth to babies?

    Last month, a spaceship was sent there. It's a pity that this mission failed. Unlike the earch, MKII is a much younger planet. Thus, masses of harmful acid clouds float everywhere causing violent chain reasctions to break out. These clouds not only blocked out the pilots' sight but also damaged the engine system. Luckily, the pilots watched out carefully and prevented the spaceship from crashing in time.

                            【15. A Journey across Canada 横穿加拿大的旅行】

    After a quiz last autumn, Kuang crossed the continent eastward to Toronto to visit his schoolmate, the distant measuring approximately 5000 kilometers. His train started from Vancouver, a city surrounded by mountains 

    After confirming his baggage was aboard the train, Kuang settled down in his seat. Hacing a gift for communication, he started chatting with another passenger within 5 minutes. Their topics included the Canadian traditions, the Prime Minister, the mixture of races, and the terrifying great Fall. After a nice buffet at noon, he was pleased to find that the scenery was impressive. He saw beautiful harbours in the distance, wealthy urban areas and maple forest that covered thousands of acres. He even managed to catch sigh of an eagle flying upward over bushes. Kuang reached Toronto which lies slightly near the border at a misty dawn. There was frost and the broad downtown streets were very quiet. Though it was early, Kuang phoned his schoolmate in a booth nearby at once rather than waiting for him to come. They had a good time together.

                                   【16.Woman doctor-Lina 女医生丽娜】

     Born in a pigs' nest, Lina let a poor life in her childhood. She was looked down upon by the children of her generation. But she intended to become a doctor after she came across Lin Qiaozhi by chance, who was delivering medical courses to an audience crowding around her. Before moving off, Lin inspired her to carry on her study. With Lin's support, Lina entered an institute and studied hard sparing no time for entertainment. Her being outspoken and modest won respect for her. Her excellent arguing skills and observation ability put others into the shade. Now, Lina has become a specialist in human beings' emergency sickness. Her kindness and considerate behavior to the poor were well known. The organization she founded carried our campaigns and welfare [rojects to help cut the death rate for the poor. Her job was hard but worthwhile. She ofer refers to the connection between her achievement and Lin Qiaozhi, and says that her poor childhood is the bond between her and the poor.

                                 【17.A New Farming Way 新的耕种方式】

Tuan was a farmer in Vietnam. For decades, he had been struggling to rid his family of hunger. However, it always confused him how to expand the output of his crops. This disturbing problem led to his regretting being a farmer. He would rather have chosen another job. One day, when skimming through a newspaper, Tuan read a comment on Yuan Longping. He underlined Yuan's nationality and occupation, and then focused on his discovery and the statistic of his research. He found the knowledge Yuan circulated very practical. Therefore, he made a summary and began to build up a new farming method. He planted super grain of rich nutrition and equipped himself to keep his crops roots free from bacteria and pests. He also enriched minerals in the soil while reducing chemical fertilizers. Though it costed him more time and freedom, he was full of hope. The next year, Yuan was sunburnt but satified with his production very much. Thanks to Yuan Longping, he not only won the battle against hunger, but he could also export his crops abroad.

       

                             【18.Chaplin - A Great Master of Humour】

    Chaplin was an extraordinary performer who starred in and directed many ourstanding comedies. Few were bored with watching his moustache, his gestures or his entertaining reactions when chased by detectives. Being drunk, sliding on a banana skin or whispering his own failures to nobody, he made us feel more content with our life without any verbal explanation. His particular sense of humor has astonished everybody throughout the world up to now.

    In a small budget file, he played a badly-off and homeless person wearing worn-out shoes and messy clothes. On one occasion, he was trapper by a snowstorm in a vast mountainous area. Though he overcame many difficulties, he wasn't fortunate enough. With all the porridge eaten up, he picked out a shoe and boiled it to eat. He cut off the leather bottom and chewed it like a pancake. According to an actress, his acting was so convincing and amusing that everybody couldn't help bursting into laughter.

                           【19.A Misunderstanding】

    In general, spoken statements are the major way of communication, but body language and facial expressions also have such kinds of function. For example, yawning means being not interested and turning one's back to someone or swinging your fist shows your anger. But what those gestures really mean is subjective in different cultures. Thus, misunderstandings happen now and then in today's world of cultural crossroads. Once, representing the Adults' Education Association, I went to the airport to meet an official of high rank from Columbia and take him to his dormitory and then to the canteen. After the flight arrived, I saw a man looking around curiously. So I approached to greet him. He suddenly dashed to hug me and kissed me both cheeks. As a young girl, i felt truly embarrassed and put up my hands to defend myself. His false smile told me that he had lost face. Later, I received a cassette from him, in which he recorded his apology. On hearing that Columbians were more likely to kiss others, I soon felt at ease.

  

                   

【20230912】

                                      【1.Fall in love with English】

       Hiding behind the loose dusty curtain, a teenager packed up his overcoat into the suitcase. He planned to leave home at dusk though there was thunder and lightning outdoors. He had got to do this because he was tired of his parents' nagging about his English study and did not want to go through it any longer. He couldn't get along well with English and disliked joining in English classes because he thought his teacher ignored him on purpose. As a result, his score in each exam never added up to over 60.

    His partner was concerned about him very much. She understood exactly what he was suffering from, but entirely disagreed with his idea. In order to calm him down and settle his problem, she talked with him face to face and swapped a series of learning tips with him. The items she set down helped him find the highwat to studying English well.

The teenager was grateful and got great power from his friend's words. Now, he has recovered from being upset and has fallen in love with English. 

 

                                  【2.Different Countries Have Different Kinds of Englishs】

    Voyages of people from England play an important part in spreading the English language. At present, English is frequently spoken as an official or common language in many countries, such as America, Singapore, Malaysia and some African countries. All based on British English, the English spoken in these countries can be well understood by native English speakers. But actually, these Englishes have been gradually changing in accents, spellings, expressions and the usage of vocabulary. 

    because of this fact, you can make sure of the differences to tell which country the foreigners of your block are from. For example, if a boss fluently commands his driver, "Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs", instead of requesting, "Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis", you can recognize his American identity, while the latter suggests that he is British.

 

                                                     【3.A Hard Trip】

My sister was fond of traveling. Ever since graduating, she had been determined to organize a trip to an old temple. Since transporting fare eas expensive, she decided to use a bicycle to cycle there not caring about the disadvantages. Her stubborn attitude was always her shortcoming. Once she made up her mind to do something, no one could persuade her to change her mind. Finally, we gave in as usual though we preferred to take a train. After we prepared everything, including the schedule, reliable weather forecast and the insurance, we began our trip.

    Our journey was along a river flowing from a high altitude. Our pace was slow because the river frequently had many sharp bends through deep valleys, where the water seemed to boil. Just as I recorded in my journal, it was really a hard journey. But we also enjoyed great views. One night, I put my head on my pillow--a parcel of wool coats, and lay beneath the stars. When the flame in front of our cave went out at midnight, I found the sky so beautiful.

 

                                       【4.A Horrible Earthquake】

    Dirty water rose in wells and canals before the earthquake. But no one judged that an earthquake was coming. Suddenly, everything shook. It seemed as if the world was at the end. Millions of brick houses and a number of dams were destroyed. Railway tracks became useless bars. Pipes in mines burst and let out smelly steam. Huge cracks trapped cyclists everywhere.

    The next day, this event was the headline or main title of all newspapers. With the reporters giving an outline of the disaster, the whole nation was shocked by the damage and the victim's extreme suffering. People were moved when they read that the survivors comforted each other by saying "Congratulations! You survived!". So they not only expressed their sympathy sincerely. but also organized together to help the victims right away. The injured were rescued and the dead were buried. The frightened survivors were dug out from under thr ruins and were offered shelter. fress water and electricity. Thanks to people's help, the loss was minimized.

                                       【5.The Great President】

As the founder of the republic, the president had many good qualities. Before coming to power, he was a generous lawyer, He was willing to selflessly help everyone who turned to him. He accepted on fee to offer legal guidance and opinions to those who were out of work or uneducated. Later, believing all mankind to be equal, he devoted himself to stopping the unfair anti-black laws.

    He set up the Black Youth League and was voted to be the leader. However, though he kept peaceful principles without violence and terror, his mean enemies still blow up his house and attacked his relatives, and he himself couldn't escape being sentenced to 30 years in prison. Not fearing of the prison guards' cruelty, he kept active and begged no mercy from them. As a matter of fact, he was always hopeful and never lost heart during the stage even though he was in trouble.

    Finally, people rewarded him with the leader's position and a gold blanket.

                                  【6.A Brave Maid 勇敢的女仆】

A wooden vase from the Mind Dynasty at the entrance of the reception hall amazed everyone. The artists designed it in a rare style and selected valuable jewels to decorate it. People thought highly of its fancy colour of honey and the beautiful paintings on it.

    The vase used to belong to a former castle. But when the country was at war, the enemy troops exploded the castle. Debates on how the vase servived went on and on. In order to remove people's doubt, a team of no less tha 20 people carried out an informal investigation. The evidences they found showed that a maid took the vase apart and asked a sailor to sink it in a local well. She never gave away the secret even under the cruel trial of the enemies who were in search of treasures. It is worth giving this brave maid a fortune in return. 

                             【7.A Fair Competition 公平的比赛】

Swifter, Higher and Stronger stands for the spirit of the Olympics. But the fairness is the basis of this motto. Only when you win fairly will you and your homeland deserve the great glory. But nowadays, unlike the ancient honest slave competitors, some hopeless athletes who can't bear the pain of training cheat when taking part in games. Medals seem to have magical power causing them to cheat, and the prize money has replaced the motto as their only goal.

  So, in the gymnastics event to be held in our city next month, one of the host's responsibilities is to keep competitions fair. They advertised on posters outside  the stadium to promise that every competitor is to have a regular physical examination in a gymnasium one after another. No one can bargain on this. The volunteers in charge will be very strict. It is foolish to cheat because they will not be admitted to compete and will even be fined as well.

                                                   【8. Computer】

The goal of early calculating machines was to simplify difficult sums. But with the help of new technology, electronic chips replace tubes and a revolution of artificial intelligence has arisen. From then on, the appearance of computers totally changed our lives. They can not only download information from the wet when connected by the network or mobile phone signals, but also solve different types of logical problems. With operators as their coaches, they can even control rockets to explore the moon and instruct androids with the human race's characters to mop floors and watch over your naughty niece. Anyhow, computers are so helpful that they do bring happiness.

    However, computers are easily attacked by viruses. This reality has become a hard-to-deal with-problem. As a result, computers are dangerous in a way. So, personally, I worry about their universal applications in some fields, such as finance.

                                       【9.Wildlife Protection 保护野生动植物】

    Dinosaurs died out because of unexpected incident. But wildlife today disappears or is in danger just because humans do harm to it. For example, tigers are hunted for fur to make carpets so that they can only live in secure reserves; grassland is destroyed without mercy so that dust storms come into being affecting distant cities.

    Last year, scientists saw some monkeys rubbing themselves with a certain kind of insects to protect themselves from fierce mosquitoes biting. According to the result of the inspection, they found that the insect contains a powerful drug, so local farmers were employed to catch the insects. The ending was that the insects disappeared from the whole zone. When told that it was a loss to humans, the farmers burst into laughter and responded, "Our real loss is our decreasing income."

    We should appreciate the natural balance and pay more attention to the importance of wildlife protection. Not until we succeed in letting wildlife live in peace, can we smile in relief.

                                        【10.My First Band】

I was very sensitive to music. Just dipping into the music books briefly, I could sing or play well. To be honest, I always dreamt of becoming a famous folk actor. I was so confident that I never decreased my devotion.

    I formed my first band called "Rolling Frog". At the beginning, we relied on performing on instruments in pubs or to passers-by to earn extra money in cash. Then we wore false beards to pretend to be the musicians who people were familiar with. In addition, we attached humorous acts to our performances and played jokes on each other. Soon, our "funny jazz" became famous and invitations to perform for broadcase stations began to come. Afterwards, we sorted out attractive music and made a record in a studio. A million or so copies were sold and we became millionaires.

    It was painful that the band broke up finally. But above all, I realized my dream to be a musician.
