Unit 2 The United Kingdom Reading

PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY

People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.You can clarify this question if you study British history.First there was England.Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century.Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well.Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to “Great Britain”.Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well.Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way.However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government.So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas(eg, the currency and international relations), but they still have very different institutions.For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!

England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones.The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North.You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England.Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two!It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors.For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans.There you will find out more about British history and culture.The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings.It is the centre of national government and its administration.It has the oldest port built by the Romans in the first century AD, the oldest building begun by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066.There has been four sets of invaders of England.The first invaders, the Romans, left their towns and roads.The second, the Anglo-Saxons, left their language and their government.The third, the Vikings, influenced the vocabulary and place-names of the North of England, and the fourth, the Normans, left castles and introduced new words for food.If you look around the British countryside you will find evidence of all these invaders.You must keep your eyes open if you are going to make your trip to the United Kingdom enjoyable and worthwhile.Using Language

SIGHTSEEING IN LONDON Worried about the time available, Zhang Pingyu had made a list of the sites she wanted to see in London.Her first delight was going to the Tower.It was built long ago by the Norman invaders of AD 1066.Fancy!This solid stone, square tower had remained standing for one thousand years.Although the buildings had expanded around it, it remained part of a royal palace and prison combined.To her great surprise, Zhang Pingyu found the Queen's jewels guarded by special royal soldiers who, on special occasions, still wore the four-hundred-year-old uniform of the time of Queen Elizabeth I.There followed St Paul's Cathedral built after the terrible fire of London in 1666.It looked splendid when first built!Westminster Abbey, too, was very interesting.It contained statues in memory of dead poets and writers, such as Shakespeare.Then just as she came out of the abbey, Pingyu heard the famous sound of the clock, Big Ben, ringing out the hour.She finished the day by looking at the outside of Buckingham Palace, the Queen's house in London.Oh, she had so much to tell her friends!The second day the girl visited Greenwich and saw its old ships and famous clock that sets the world time.What interested her most was the longitude line.It is an imaginary line dividing the eastern and western halves of the world and is very useful for navigation.It passes through Greenwich, so Pingyu had a photo taken standing on either side of the line.The last day she visited Karl Marx's statue in Highgate Cemetery.It seemed strange that the man who had developed communism should have lived and died in London.Not only that, but he had worked in the famous reading room of the Library of the British Museum.Sadly the library had moved from its original place into another building and the old reading room was gone.But she was thrilled by so many wonderful treasures from different cultures displayed in the museum.When she saw many visitors enjoying looking at the beautiful old Chinese pots and other objects on show, she felt very proud of her country.The next day Pingyu was leaving London for Windsor Castle.“Perhaps I will see the Queen?” she wondered as she fell asleep.Task2: Read the passage and answer these questions: 1.Who built the Tower of London? When was it built?

2.Who guarded the Queen’s jewels? What kind of clothes did they wear?

3.When was St Paul’s Cathedral built?

4.What did Westminster Abby contain?

5.Did she visit the Big Ben?

6.How did Zhang Pingyu finish the first day in London?

7.What could Pingyu see in Greenwich?

8.What interested her most in Greenwich? What kind of line is it?

9.Which places did she visit on the third day?

10.What seemed strange to her?

11.What made her thrilled?

Unit 3 Life in the future Reading

FIRST IMPRESSIONS Spacemall: liqiang299A@GreatAdventureSpaceStation.com

15/11/3008(Earthtime)Dear Mum and Dad，I still cannot believe that I am taking up this prize that I won last year.I have to remind myself constantly that I am really in AD 3008.Worried about the journey, I was unsettled for the first few days.As a result, I suffered from “Time lag”.This is similar to the “jet lag” you get from flying, but it seems you keep getting flashbacks from your previous time period.So I was very nervous and uncertain at first.However, my friend and guide, Wang Ping, was very understanding and gave me some green tablets which helped a lot.Well-known for their expertise, his parents' company, called “Future Tours”, transported me safely into the future in a time capsule.I can still remember the moment when the space stewardess called us all to the capsule and we climbed in through a small opening.The seats were comfortable and after a calming drink, we felt sleepy and closed our eyes.The capsule began swinging gently sideways as we lay relaxed and dreaming.A few minutes later, the journey was completed and we had arrived.I was still on the earth but one thousand years in the future.What would I find? At first my new surroundings were difficult to tolerate.The air seemed thin, as though its combination of gases had little oxygen left.Hit by a lack of fresh air, my head ached.Just as I tried to make the necessary adjustment to this new situation, Wang Ping appeared.“Put on this mask,” he advised.“It'll make you feel much better.” He

handed it to me and immediately hurried me through to a small room nearby for a rest.I felt better in no time.Soon I was back on my feet again and following him to collect a hovering carriage driven by computer.These carriages float above the ground and by bending or pressing down in your seat, you can move swiftly.Wang Ping fastened my safety belt and showed me how to use it.Soon I could fly as fast as him.However, I lost sight of Wang Ping when we reached what looked like a large market because of too many carriages flying by in all directions.He was swept up into the centre of them.Just at that moment I had a “time lag” flashback and saw the area again as it had been in the year AD 2008.I realized that I had been transported into the future of what was still my hometown!Then I caught sight of Wang Ping again and flew after him.Arriving at a strange-looking house, he showed me into a large, bright clean room.It had a green wall, a brown floor and soft lighting.Suddenly the wall moved-it was made of trees!I found later that their leaves provided the room with much-needed oxygen.Then Wang Ping flashed a switch on a computer screen, and a table and some chairs rose from under the floor as if by magic.“Why not sit down and eat a little?” he said.“You may find this difficult as it is your first time travel trip.Just relax, since there is nothing planned on the timetable today.Tomorrow you'll be ready for some visits.” Having said this, he spread some food on the table, and produced a bed from the floor.After he left, I had a brief meal and a hot bath.Exhausted, I slid into bed and fell fast asleep.More news later from your loving son，Li Qiang

I HAVE SEEN AMAZING THINGS

My first visit was to a space station considered the most modem in space.Described as an enormous round plate, it spins slowly in space to imitate the pull of the earth's gravity.Inside was an exhibition of the most up-to-date inventions of the 31 st century.A guide(G)showed us around along a moveable path.G:

Good morning to all our visitors from 2008.First we're going to examine one of the latest forms of

communication among our space citizens.No more typists working on a typewriter or computer!No more postage or postcodes!Messages can now be sent using a “thoughtpad”.You place the metal band over your head, clear your mind, press the sending button, think your message and the next instant it's sent.It's stored on the “thoughtpad” of the receiver.It's quick, efficient and environmentally friendly.The only limitation is if the user does not think his or her message clearly, an unclear message may be sent.But we cannot blame the tools for the faults of the user, can we? During the explanation I looked at the pair of small objects called “thoughtpads” on a table.They just looked like metal ribbons.So ordinary but so powerful!While I was observing them, the path moved us on.G:

And now ladies and gentlemen, we are in the “environment area”.People used to collect waste in dustbins.Then the rubbish was sent to be buried or burned, am I fight?(We nodded.)Well, now there's a system where the waste is disposed of using the principles of ecology.A giant machine, always greedy for more, swallows all the waste available.The rubbish is turned into several grades of useful material, such as “fertilizer” for the fields and “soil” for deserts.Nothing is wasted, and everything, even plastic bags, is

recycled.A great idea, isn't' it? I stared at the moving model of the waste machine, absorbed by its efficiency.But again we moved on.G:

Our third stop shows the changes that have happened to work practices.Manufacturing no longer takes place on the earth but on space stations like this one.A group of engineers programme robots to perform tasks in space.The robots produce goods such as drugs, clothes, furniture, hovering carriages, etc.There is no waste, no pollution and no environmental damage!However, the companies have to train their representatives to live and work in space settlements.They have to monitor the robots and the production.When the goods are ready they're transported by industrial spaceship back to earth.My mind began to wander.What job would I do? My motivation increased as I thought of the wonderful world of the future.Unit 4 Making the news Reading

MY FIRST WORK ASSIGNMENT

“Unforgettable”, says new journalist Never will Zhou Yang(ZY)forget his first assignment at the office of a popular English newspaper.His discussion with his new boss, Hu Xin(HX), was to strongly influence his life as a journalist.HX: Welcome.We're delighted you're coming to work with us.Your first job here will be an assistant journalist.Do you have any questions? ZY:

Can I go out on a story immediately? HX:(laughing)That' s admirable, but I' m afraid it would be unusual!Wait till you' re more experienced.First we'll put you as an assistant to an experienced journalist.Later you can cover a story and submit the article yourself.ZY:

Wonderful.What do I need to take with me? I already have a notebook and camera.HX:

No need for a camera.You'll have a professional photographer with you to take photographs.You'll find your colleagues very eager to assist you, so you may be able to concentrate on photography later if you' re interested.ZY:

Thank you.Not only am I interested in photography, but I took an amateur course at university to update

my skills.HX: Good.ZY:

What do I need to remember when I go out to cover a story? HX: You need to be curious.Only if you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know.We say a good journalist must have a good “nose” for a story.That means you must be able to assess when people are not telling the whole troth and then try to discover it.They must use research to inform themselves of the missing parts of the story.ZY:

What should I keep in mind? HX:

Here comes my list of dos and don'ts: don't miss your deadline, don't be rode, don't talk too much, but make sure you listen to the interviewee carefully.ZY:

Why is listening so important? HX: Well, you have to listen for detailed facts.Meanwhile you have to prepare the next question depending on what the person says.ZY:

But how can I listen carefully while taking notes? HX: This is a trick of the trade, If the interviewee agrees, you can use a recorder to get the facts straight.It's also useful if a person wants to challenge you.You have the evidence to support your story.ZY:

I see!Have you ever had a case where someone accused your journalists of getting the wrong end of the stick? HX: Yes, but it was a long time ago.This is how the story goes.A footballer was accused of taking money for deliberately not scoring goals so as to let the other team win.We went to interview him.He denied taking money but we were sceptical.So we arranged an interview between the footballer and the man supposed to bribe him.When we saw them together we guessed from the footballer's body language that he was not telling the truth.So we wrote an article suggesting he was guilty.It was a dilemma because the footballer could have demanded damages if we were wrong.He tried to stop us publishing it but later we were proved right.ZY:

Wow!That was a real “scoop”.I'm looking forward to my first assignment now.Perhaps I'll get a scoop too!HX:

Perhaps you will.You never know.Using Language

GETTING THE “SCOOP” “Quick,” said the editor.“Get that story ready.We need it in this edition to be ahead of the other newspapers.This is a scoop.” Zhou Yang had just come back into the office after an interview with a famous film star.“Did he really do that?” asked someone from the International News Department.“Yes, I' m afraid he did,” Zhou Yang answered.He set to work.His first task was to write his story, but he had to do it carefully.Although he realized the man had been lying，Zhou Yang knew he must not accuse him directly.He would have to be accurate.Concise too!He knew how to do that.Months of training had taught him to write with no wasted words or phrases.He sat down at his computer and began to work.The first person who saw his article was a senior editor from his department.He checked the evidence, read the article and passed it on to the copy-editor.She began to edit the piece and design the main headline and smaller heading.“This will look very good on the page,” she said.“Where is a good picture of this man?” Then as the article was going to be written in English Zhou Yang also took a copy to the native speaker employed by the newspaper to polish the style.She was also very happy with Zhou Yang's story.“You are really able to write a good front page article,” she said.Zhou Yang smiled with happiness.Last of all, the chief editor read it and approved it.“Well done,” he said to Zhou Yang.“But please show me your evidence so we're sure we've got our facts straight.” “I’ll bring it to you immediately,” said Zhou Yang excitedly.The news desk editor took the story and began to work on all the stories and photos until all the pages were set.All the information was then ready to be processed into film negatives.This was the first stage of the printing process.They needed four negatives, as several colours were going to be used on the story.Each of the main colours had one negative sheet and when they were combined they made a coloured page for the newspaper.After one last check the page was ready to be printed.Zhou Yang waited excitedly for the first copies to be ready.“Wait 611 tonight,” his friend whispered.“I expect there will be something about this on the television news.A real scoop!” Unit 5 First aid Reading

FIRST AID FOR BURNS

The skin is an essential part of your body and its largest organ.You have three layers of skin which act as a barrier against disease, poisons and the sun's harmful rays.The functions of your skin are also very complex: it keeps you warm or cool;it prevents your body from losing too much water;it is where you feel cold, heat or pain and it gives you your sense of touch.So as you can imagine, if your skin gets burned it can be very serious.First aid is a very important first step in the treatment of bums.Causes of burns You can get burned by a variety of things: hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation(by being close to high heat or fire, etc), the sun, electricity or chemicals.Types of burns There are three types of burns.Burns are called first, second or third degree burns, depending on which layers of the skin are burned.◎ First degree burns

These affect only the top layer of the skin.These burns are not serious and should feel better within a day or two.Examples include mild sunburn and burns caused by touching a hot pan, stove or iron for a mordent.◎ Second degree burns These affect both the top and the second layer of the skin.These bums are serious and take a few weeks to heal.Examples include severe sunburn and bums caused by hot liquids.◎ Third degree burns

These affect all three layers of the skin and any tissue and organs under the skin.Examples include burns caused by electric shocks, burning clothes, or severe petrol fires.These burns cause very severe injuries and the victim must go to hospital at once.Characteristics of burns First degree burns

◎ dry, red and mildly swollen

◎ mildly painful

◎ turn white when pressed Second degree burns

◎ rough, red and swollen

◎ blisters

◎ watery surface

◎ extremely painful Third degree burns

◎ black and white and charred

◎ swollen;often tissue under them can be seen

◎ little or no pain if nerves are damaged;may be pain around edge of

injured area.First aid treatment 1

Remove clothing using scissors if necessary unless it is stuck to the burn.Take off other clothing and jewellery near the burn.2

Cool burns immediately with cool but not icy water.It is best to place burns under gently running water for about 10 minutes.(The cool water stops the burning process, prevents the pain becoming unbearable and reduces swelling.)Do not put cold water on third degree burns.3

For first degree burns, place cool, clean, wet cloths on them until the pain is not so bad.For second degree burns, keep cloths cool by putting them back in a basin of cold water, squeezing them out and placing them on the burned area over and over again for about an hour until the pain is not so bad.4

Dry the burned area gently.Do not rob, as this may break any blisters and the wound may get infected.5

Cover the burned area with a dry, clean bandage that will not stick to the skin.Hold the bandage in place with tape.Never put butter, oil or ointment on bums as they keep the heat in the wounds and may cause infection.6

If bums are on arms or legs, keep them higher than the heart, if possible.If bums are on the face, the victim should sit up.If the injuries are second or third degree bums, it is vital to get the victim to the doctor or hospital at once.Using Language HEROIC TEENAGER RECEIVES AWARD

Seventeen-year-old teenager, John Janson, was honoured at the Lifesaver Awards last night in Rivertown for giving lifesaving first aid on his neighbour after a shocking knife attack.John was presented with his award at a ceremony which recognized the bravery of ten people who had saved the life of another.John was studying in his room when he heard screaming.When he and his father rushed outside, a man ran from the scene.They discovered that Anne Slade, mother of three, had been stabbed repeatedly with a knife.She was lying in her front garden bleeding very heavily.Her hands had almost been cut off.It was John's quick action and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slade's life.He immediately asked a number of nearby people for bandages, but when nobody could put their hands on any, his father got some tea towels and tape from their house.John used these to treat the most severe injuries to Ms Slade's hands.He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wounds until the police and ambulance arrived.“I'm proud of what I did but I was just doing what I'd been taught,” John said.John had taken part in the Young Lifesaver Scheme at his high school.When congratulating John, Mr Alan Southerton, Director of the Young Lifesaver Scheme said, “There is no doubt that John's quick thinking and the first aid skills he learned at school saved Ms Slade's life.It shows that a knowledge of first aid can make a real difference.” Before receiving their awards last night, John and the nine other Life Savers attended a special reception yesterday hosted by the Prime Minister.

伟大的科学家 Reading 约翰.斯诺击败“霍乱王”

约翰.斯诺是伦敦一位著名的医生—他的确医术精湛，因而成为照料维多利亚女皇的私人医生。但当他一想到要帮助那些得了霍乱的普通百姓时，他就感到很振奋。霍乱在当时是最致命的疾病，人们既不知道它的病源，也不了解它的治疗方法。每次暴发霍乱时，就有大批惊恐的老百姓病死。约翰.斯诺想面对这个挑战，解决这个问题。他知道，在找到病源之前，霍乱疫情是无法控制的。

斯诺对霍乱致人死地的两种推测都很感兴趣。一种看法是霍乱病毒在空气中腐殖着，像一股危险的气流到处漂浮，直到找到病毒的受害者为止。第二种看法是在吃饭的时候人们把这种病毒引入体内的。病从胃里发作而迅速殃及全身，患者就会很快地死去。

斯诺推测第二种说法是正确的，但是他需要证据。因此，在1854年伦敦再次暴发霍乱的时候，约翰.斯诺着手准备对此调研。当霍乱在贫民区迅速蔓延的时候，约翰.斯诺就开始收集资料。他发现特别在两条街道上霍乱流行的很严重，在10天之内就死去了500多人。他决心要查明其原因。

首先，他在一张地图上标明了所有死者住过的地方。这提供了一条说明霍乱起因的很有价值的线索。许多死者是住在宽街的水泵附近（特别是这条街上16、37、38、40号）。他发现有些住宅（如宽街上20号和21号以及剑桥上的8号和9号）却无人死亡。他以前没预料到这种情况，所以他决定深入调查。他发现，这些人都在剑桥街7号的酒馆里打工，而酒馆为他们免费提供啤酒喝，因此他们没有喝从宽街水泵抽上来的水。看来水是罪魁祸首。

接下来，约翰.斯诺调查了这两条街的水源情况。他发现，水是从河里来的，而河水被伦敦排出的脏水污染了。他马上叫宽街上惊慌失措的老百姓拆掉水泵上的把手。这样，水泵就用不成了。不久，疫情就开始得到了缓解。他证明了，霍乱是由病菌而不是由气团传播的。

在伦敦的另一个地区，他从两个与宽街暴发的霍乱有关联的死亡病例中发现了有力的证据。有一位妇女是从宽街搬进来的，她特备喜欢那里的水，每天都要派人从水泵打水运到家里来。她和她的女儿喝了这种水，都得了霍乱而死去。有了这个特别的证据，约翰.斯诺就能够肯定地宣布，这种被污染了的水携带着病菌。

为了防止这种情况的再度发生，约翰.斯诺建议所有水源都要经过检测。自来水公司也接到指令，不能再让人们接触被污染的水了。最终，“霍乱王”被打败了。

Using Language 哥白尼的革命性理论

尼古拉.哥白尼被吓得心烦意乱。虽然他曾经试着不去理睬那些数字，然而他所有的数学计算都得出了一个相同的结论：地球不是太阳系的中心。只有当你把太阳放在中心位置上，天空中其他行星的运动才能说得清楚。他的这个理论可不能告诉任何人，因为即使他只暗示有这种想法，他都会收到强大的基督教教会势力的惩罚。教会认为世界是上帝创造的，正因为如此，地球就具有特殊的意义，它必定要成为太阳系的中心。

这样，问题就来了，因为天文学家以前发现过，天上有些行星停顿下来，往后移动，然后再成环状向前移动，而其他行星看上去有时亮些，有时又不怎么亮。如果地球是太阳系的中心，而所有的行星环绕着地球转的话，那么这种现象就很奇怪了。

哥白尼曾经对这种问题苦苦思索过很久，试图找出问题的答案。他曾经收集过观测星球的数据，并且利用他的全部数学知识来解释这些数据。但是只有他的新理论才能作出解释。于是，他在1510年至1514年期间从事这项研究，逐步修改他的理论，直到他感到完善时为止。

1514年，他把他的新理论私下里给他的朋友们看。他对旧理论的修改是具有革命性的。他把太阳固定在太阳系的中心位置上，而行星则围绕着太阳转，只有月球仍然绕着地球转。他还提出地球在围绕太阳转的同时，它自身还自转，这样就说明了行星运动的变化情况以及星球的亮度问题。他的朋友都热情地鼓励他把他的想法公诸于世，而他却小心谨慎，他不想遭到基督教教会势力的攻击，所以他只是在1543年临终之前才把它公布出来。

当然，他小心谨慎是对的。基督教教会拒绝接受他的理论，说这种理论违背了上帝的旨意，而支持这种理论的人都会受到打击。然而哥白尼的理论却是我们宇宙观赖以建立的基础。他的理论还改变了基督教对地心引力的看法，他们认为物体往地球上掉落是因为上帝创造了地球，而地球正是宇宙的中心。哥白尼表明这是明显错误的。如今人们可以看到，他的这些想法与艾萨克.牛顿、阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦以及斯蒂芬.霍金等人的研究都有着直接的联系。

联合王国

Reading 地理之谜

人们也许觉得奇怪，为什么用来描述英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰这四个国家的词语不太一样。但如果你学过英国历史，就能弄清楚这个问题。

首先是英格兰。威尔士于13世纪同英格兰联合起来。如今只要有人提起英格兰，你就会发现威尔士总是包括在内的。接着，英格兰、威尔士同苏格兰于17世纪联合了起来，名字就改成了“大不列颠”。令人庆幸的是，当苏格兰的詹姆斯国王成为英格兰和威尔士的国王时，这三个国家和平地实现了联合。最后，英国政府打算于20世纪初把爱尔兰也同另外三个国家和平联合起来已形成联合王国。然而，爱尔兰的南部却不愿意而分离出去，并建立了自己的政府。因而只有北爱尔兰同英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰联合起来，而组成了联合王国，这一点从新的联合王国国旗就可以看出来。

值得称赞的是，虽然这四个国家的确在一些方面共同合作，例如在货币和在国际关系上，但它们在制度上仍存在着很大的区别。例如，北爱尔兰、英格兰和苏格兰在教育体制和立法体制上都存在差异。在参加像世界杯之类的比赛时，它们有着各自的球队。

在这四个国家中，英格兰是最大的。为了方便，它大致可以划分为三个地区。最靠近法国的那个地区叫做英格兰南部，中部地区叫做英格兰中部，最靠近苏格兰的那个地区叫做苏格兰北部。你可以看到英国的大部分人口聚居在南部，而多数大工业城市都位于中部和北部。尽管，英国任何一个城市都不像中国的城市那样大，但是它们都有着自己的享有威名的足球队，有的城市甚至还有两个队。很遗憾，这些建于19世纪的工业城市对游客并没有吸引力。要找历史性建筑你得去更古老的、比较小些的由古罗马人建造的城镇。在那儿你才可能找到更多的有关英国历史和文化的东西。

最具历史意义的宝地是伦敦。那儿有博物馆，有艺术珍品、剧院、公园和各种建筑物。它是全国的政治中心。它有公元一世纪由古罗马人建造的最古老的港口，有由盎格鲁-撒克逊人始建于11世纪60年代的最古老的建筑，还有公元1066年由后来的诺曼人统治者建造的最古老的城堡。曾经有四批侵略者到过英国。最早的入侵者是古罗马人，他们留下了他们的城镇和道路。其次是盎格鲁-撒克逊人，他们留下了他们的语言和政体。第三是斯堪的纳维亚人，他们对词汇和北部的地名留下了影响。第四是诺曼人，他们留下了城堡和新的食物名称的词语。

如果你到英国乡间去看看，你就会找到所有这些入侵者的痕迹。如果想使你的英国之旅不虚此行又有意义，你就必须留心观察。

Using Language 伦敦观光记

由于担心时间不够，张萍玉早就把她想要在伦敦参观的地点列了一张单子。她最想参观的地方是伦敦塔，它是很久以前由入侵的诺曼人在公元1066年修建的。真是太棒了！这个坚实的用石头砌的方形塔已经屹立在那儿一千年了。尽管在塔的四周扩建了一些建筑，但它仍然是皇宫和监狱联合体的一个组成部分。让张玉萍十分惊讶的是，她发现女王的珠宝由皇家的特别卫士守着，而这些卫士在一些特殊的日子仍然穿着400年前伊丽莎白一世女王时代的制服。

接着参观的是圣.保罗大教堂，它是1666年可怕的伦敦大火以后建造的，刚建成的时候，它看起来真是金碧辉煌。伦敦威斯敏斯特大教堂也是很有意思的地方，里面珍藏着一些已故诗人和作家的雕像，例如莎士比亚的雕像。正当萍玉从大教堂往外走的时候，她听到了著名的大本钟在整点敲响的钟声。她参观了女王伦敦住所白金汉宫的外景，以此结束了一天的观光。啊，她要同朋友们讲的实在太多了！

第二天，萍玉姑娘参观了格林尼治天文台，看到了古老的轮船和著名的为世界定时的时钟。她最感兴趣的是那条通过天文台的经线。这是一条假想的线，它把世界分为东西两半球，从而有利于航海。这条线穿过格林尼治，萍玉就跨着这条线拍了一张照片。

最后一天，她参观了伦敦海格特公墓里的卡尔.马克思的雕像。这似乎是一件怪事：这位发展了共产主义的人竟然在伦敦生活过，并且在伦敦去世。不仅如此，他还在著名的大英博物馆的图书馆阅览室里工作过。遗憾的是，这个图书馆已经从原来的地方搬到另一座大楼去了，而原来的阅览室也没有了。但是她感到最为震惊的却是博物馆里展出的那么多来自不同文化的奇妙宝物。当萍玉看到那么多参观者用欣赏的目光注视着古老漂亮的中国陶瓷和其他展品时，心里充满了对祖国的自豪感。

第二天，萍玉就要离开伦敦去温莎城堡了。她边睡觉边想：“或许我能见到女王呢？”

未来的生活

Reading 第一印象

太空邮件：

liqiang299A@GreatAdventureSpaceStation.com 15/11/3008(地球时间)亲爱的爸爸妈妈：

我仍然不能相信我是在接受去年获得的这个奖励。我得不断提醒自己，我真的已经进入到公元3008年了。因为担心这次旅行，头几天我心里总是不踏实，结果我得了时间滞后症。这就与你乘坐飞机产生时差反应相似，所不同的是，在你脑子里似乎会不断闪现以前的时光。因此，我一开始就感到神经过敏和心神不定。但是我的朋友兼导游王平很细心体贴，给了我几粒绿色药片，倒是挺起作用的。他父母的公司叫做“未来之旅”，以其技术高超而闻名。他们把我装在一个时间仓里，平安地把我送入了未来。

我仍旧记得我们被太空服务员一起叫到时间仓，爬上去进入一个小门。座位是很舒适的，喝了点镇静剂以后，我们的眼睛就闭上了，感到昏昏欲睡似的。时间仓在轻轻左右摇晃，我们放松地躺在那里做梦。几分钟以后，旅程结束，我们就到了。我仍然在地球上，但是进入了未来的一千年。我们会看到什么呢？

一开始新的环境让我很难忍受。空气似乎很稀薄，好像混合的气体中剩下的氧气很少。由于缺乏新鲜空气，我感到头痛。正当我想努力调整适应新环境时，王平出现了。他告诉我，“把这个面罩戴上。它会使你感觉好得多。”他把面罩递给我，敦促我马上走进附近的一个小房间，叫我休息。我立刻就感到舒服些了。没过多久，我就再次站起来，跟着他去领取了一台由电脑驱动的气垫车。这些气垫车是在地面上方漂浮着的。只要在座椅上用力打弯或压下（操作杆），你就可以快速地移动。王平系紧了我的安全带，教我这样使用它。不久，我就可以飞得跟王平一样快了。可是，当我们到达一个看上去像是大市场的地方时，由于太多车子朝四面八方飞奔，我看不见王平了。他被卷入到这群车队中去了。就在这个时候我得到了一次“时间滞后”的闪回，这样我就再次看到了似乎是公元2008年的那个地区了。我这才懂得我被送到了未来，但却仍然在自己的家乡。就在这个时候，我又见到了王平，于是又跟在他后面飞去。

到了一幢看上去很奇怪的房子里，他把我带到一个明亮而洁净的大房间里。墙是绿色的，地板是棕色的，灯光很柔和。突然墙壁移动了—原来是树形成的！后来我才发现，就是这些树的叶子为这栋房间提供了最急需的氧气。然后王平在电脑荧屏上闪了一下开关，于是一个桌子和几把椅子就像变魔术那样从地板下面升了起来。“怎么不坐下来吃些东西呢？”他说道，“你第一次作这样的时间旅行，可能会感到有些困难。你可以好好休息一下。今天没有任何出行计划。明天你还要准备参观几个地方。”说完这些，他把食物摆在桌子上，又从地板下取出一张床来。他离开后，我简单吃了饭，洗了个热水澡。实在累坏了，我溜上床很快就睡着了。

以后再谈吧！你的儿子 李强

Using Language 我看到了奇妙的东西

我首先参观的是一个太空站，这个站被认为是太空中最现代化的地方。太空站像一个巨大的圆盘，在太空中缓缓地旋转，以仿照出地球重心的引力。太空站里展出了31世纪一些最前沿的发明。有个导游带领我们站在一条移动的运送带上，到各处参观。

导游：从2008年来访的朋友们，早上好！首先，我们要查看一种我们太空居民 使用的最新的通讯方式。再也不需要打字员在打字机或电脑上工作了！再也不需要邮费和邮政编码了！现在用一种“思想仪”就可以传递信息。你把这种金属带子放在你的头上，排除杂念，按下发送键，集中精神想着你要传递的信息，片刻功夫信息就发出去了。这个信息会储存在接受者的“思想仪”里。它快捷有效，而且环保。唯一的缺点是，如果使用者不能想清楚要传递的信息，发送出去信息可能是模糊不清的。但我们不能因为使用者的使用不当而责备机器，是不是？

在导游解说的时候，我观看着桌上这付被称为“思想仪”的小东西。它们看上去像金属带子。那么普通，但却那么神通广大！正当我还在观察时，运送带向前移动了。

导游：女生们先生们，现在我们到了“环保地带”。以前人们习惯用垃圾箱收集废 弃物，然后这些垃圾被送走埋掉或烧掉，我说的对吧？（我们都点头。）可现在我们有一种装置，能利用生态学原理来处理掉废弃物。一架巨大的机器，能把所有能获得的废弃物都吞进去，而且总是贪得无厌。然后垃圾被分解成了几种有用的物质，如庄稼地的“肥料”和沙漠中的“土壤”。什么都不浪费，所有的东西，哪怕是塑料袋也回收利用了。伟大的创意，对不对？

我注视着缓缓移动的垃圾分解机器模型，为它的成效所吸引。但是，我们又开始向前移动了。

导游：第三站要展示给我们的是工作实践方面的一些变化。批量生产不再在地球 上进行，而是转移到了像这样的太空站里。在太空里，一组工程师给机器人设计了程序让它们完成工作。机器人生产像药品、衣服、家具和气垫车等等东西。没有废弃物、没有污染，也没有环境破坏。但是，这些公司必须培训他们的代表能在太空中生活和工作。他们必须在此监控机器人和生产过程。一旦货物齐备，就用工用太空船运送到地球。

我的思想开始漫游。我能从事什么工作呢？当我想到这个奇妙的未来世界时，我兴趣倍增、干劲十足！

Reading 我的第一项工作任务

“难以忘怀，” 新闻记者说

周阳永远不会忘记他在一家畅销英文报纸的第一项工作任务。他同新上司胡欣的讨论对他的记者生涯必将产生强烈的影响。

胡：欢迎你，非常高兴你来参加我们的工作，你来这首先就是当助理记者。有什么问题吗？

周：我可以马上去采访吗？

胡：（笑）真是勇气可嘉！不过恐怕这不太合乎常规，还是等到你比较有经验以后吧。我们先要派你给有经验的记者作助理。以后，你才能独自去进行采访并提交自己的新闻稿。

周：太好了！我需要随身带些什么？我已经带了笔记本和照相机。胡：不需要照相机！你们将带上一名专业摄像师去拍照。你将发现你的同事们会热情地帮助你。如果你对摄影感兴趣，以后你可以集中精力去钻研。

周：谢谢你！对摄影我不仅只是感兴趣，在大学里我还专修过业余摄像课来更新我的技术。

胡：那很好哇。

周：我出去采访时还需要记住些什么事呢？

胡：你需要好奇心。你只有提出了许多不同的问题之后才有可能获得你需要知道的信息。我们说，一个好的记者必须有一个对新闻非常敏感的“嗅觉”。那就是说，在人们没有说出全部真相时，你必须能够判断出，并努力发现真相。记者必须通过调查研究，来使自己了解到被遗漏的那部分情况。

周：我应该注意些什么？

胡：下面是我的行为准则：不要延误任务规定的期限，不可对人粗鲁，不可自己说得太多，务必认真倾听被采访人回答问题。

周：为什么听人家讲话这样重要呢？胡：你得听清楚事实的细节。同时，你还要根据被采访人所说的话准备提出下一个问题。

周：在我记笔记的同时，怎么能仔细倾听对方的答话呢？

胡：这就是我们职业的诀窍了。如果被采访人允许，你可以使用录音机，录下全部事实。如果有人提出质疑，这也有用，你就有证据来支持自己的报道了。

周：我明白了！你有没有过这样的情况：别人控告你的记者，说他的报道失实？

胡：有的。不过这是很久以前的事。事情是这样的：一位足球运动员被指控受贿，故意不进球，好让对方球队赢球。我们去采访了他。他否认收了钱，但我们对此表示怀疑。于是，我们安排这名球员和被认为受贿的人一起接受采访，而当我们看到他们在一起时，我们就从足球运动员的体态语上猜出他没有说真话。我们写了一篇文章，暗示足球队员有罪。这事有些为难，因为如果我们错了，他就可以向我们索要赔偿。他竭力阻止我们发表这篇文章，但后来证实我们是正确的。

周：哇！这才是真正的独家新闻哩！我期盼着即将到来的首次任务。说不定我也会搞到独家新闻呢！

胡：也许你会的，谁知道呢。

Using Language 抢发独家新闻

周阳刚刚采访了一位著名影星回到办公室，编辑就说：“快点把那篇报道准备好，我们这一版就要用，这样我们就抢在其他报纸的前面了，这就是抢先的独家新闻。”国际新闻编辑部有人提出问题：“他真的干了那种事吗？”周阳回答道：“是的，恐怕是这样的。”接着他便着手准备报道了。他的第一件事就是写报道稿，他必须认认真真地写。尽管他认为那个人一直在说谎话，但周阳懂得，他决不能直接指责那个人。他必须做到准确无误，还要简明扼要。他知道该怎么做。经过几个月的培训，他已经学会了写文章，全然没有废话。他在电脑前坐下来就开始工作了。

第一个看到这一篇文章的人是他们部里的一位编审。他核查了文中的证据，阅读了整篇报道，然后递给技术编辑。她就开始了编辑工作，设计了主标题和副标题。她说：“在版面上这会很好看。这个人的照片该放在哪儿好呢？”因为这篇文章要用英文来写，所以周阳拿了一份稿子给一位母语为英语的外国雇员，请她对语言风格进行润饰。这位雇员对周阳的报道也很满意。她评价说：“你确实能写很好的头版新闻了。”周阳高兴地笑了。最后主编审读了这篇稿子，并且批准发表了。他对周阳说：“文章写得很好，不过你还得拿出证据来表明事实确凿。”周阳兴奋地说：“我马上拿来。”

新闻文字编辑取走这篇报道，开始对所有的报道和图片进行编排，直至把各版面全部编定。此后，所有的报道材料就要被制成胶片。这是印刷过程的第一道工序。由于这篇报道要用好几种颜色，因此需要四张胶片。每一种主色要用一张底片，四张底片结合起来就制成了一张报纸的彩页。经过最后一次校对后,这个版面就可以准备印刷了。周阳兴奋地等待着第一批报纸的印出。“要等到今天晚上，”他的朋友轻声地告诉他说：“我期望电视新闻会对这件事作一点报道。真是独家新闻了！”

急救

Reading 烧伤的急救

皮肤是身体必不可少的部分，也是身体最大的器官。皮肤有三层，它们是防病、防毒、抵御太阳有害光线侵害的一道屏障。皮肤的功能十分复杂。皮肤可以保暖或御寒，保持体内水分。正是皮肤使你感到冷热，疼痛，它还使你有触觉，因此，你可以想象到，如果你的皮肤烧伤了，就可能非常严重。在治疗烧伤的过程中，紧急处理是非常重要的第一步。

烧伤的原因：

你可能因为各种原因而烧伤：灼热的液体、水蒸汽、火、辐射（由于靠近高温或大火等），阳光、电和化学物品。

烧伤的种类：

烧伤有三类，根据皮肤烧伤的层次分为一度烧伤、二度烧伤和三度烧伤。·一度烧伤：只损伤皮层的最上层。烧伤并不严重，应当在一两天内就有好转。例如轻度的晒伤，由于短暂接触热锅、火炉或熨斗而导致的熨伤。

·二度烧伤：既损伤了皮肤的最上层，又损伤了皮质的第二层。这类烧伤属于严重的烧伤，需数星期才能痊愈。例如，严重的晒伤和灼热的液体所造成的烧伤。

·三度烧伤：所有三层皮质以及皮下的组织和器官都受到损害。例如由电击而引起的烧伤，因衣服起火引起的烧伤，或因汽油起火引起的烧伤。这些烧伤都属于非常严重的烧伤，受伤者必须立即送往医院。

烧伤的特性：

一度烧伤：·干燥、发红、微肿·微痛·受伤时变白 二度烧伤：·粗糙、发红、肿胀14

·起水泡 ·表层渗液 ·极其疼痛

三度灼伤：·黑，白和焦炭色相同

·肿胀，可看到皮下组织

·若损坏了神经，则没有疼痛或轻微疼痛，或者在创面四周有痛感

急救处理：

1.除非衣服粘贴在烧伤面上，否则都要把它脱掉（必要时可用剪刀帮助）。靠近创面的其他衣物和首饰也都要取掉。

2.马上那个用凉水给伤口冲凉，但不能用冰水。最好是把烧伤的部位放在慢速流动的自来水下冲洗大约10分钟。（凉水可以组织烧伤的进程，可以防止无法忍受的疼痛，还可以减轻肿胀程度）。三度烧伤不可用冷水冲。3.对于一度烧伤的患者，要把清凉干净的湿布放在烧伤面上，直到疼痛感较轻时为止。对于二度烧伤，要保持湿布清凉，需把湿布放回冷水盆中，拧出水后再放在烧伤面上，这样要反反复复地做一个小时左右，直到不太痛时为止。

4.轻轻地把烧伤面弄干，但不要擦拭，因为这样做可能会擦破水泡，导致伤口感染。

5.用干而清洁又不粘皮肤的绷带盖住烧伤面，用胶布把绷带固定，千万不要在烧伤处涂黄油、油或软膏，因为这会使里面的热散不出去，而且还可能导致感染。6.如果烧伤的部位在臂部或腿部，尽可能把手臂或腿部抬高到高于心脏的位置。如果是面部烧伤，伤者应该坐起来。

7.如果属于二度或三度烧伤，就必须立即把患者送往医院或送去看医生。

Using Language 英雄青年获奖记

17岁的青年约翰.詹森昨晚在里弗镇的救生员颁奖大会上领奖，因为他在一次骇人听闻的持刀袭击案件发生后，为邻居实施了紧急抢救。

在颁奖大会上，约翰被授予奖赏。大会共表彰了抢救他们生命的十个人的勇敢行为。

（那天）约翰正在房里学习，突然听到一声尖叫声，他和父亲赶紧冲出去，发现一名男子从现场逃跑，而三个孩子的母亲安.斯莱德被人连捅了数刀。她躺在前花园的地上，流血不止。她的双手几乎被砍断了。

正是约翰快捷的动作和急救知识救了斯莱德女士的命。他立即向附近的一些人要绷带，当他们都找不到绷带的时候，他的父亲就从屋里拿出一些擦杯盘的布和胶带来。约翰就用这些东西把斯莱德手上最严重的伤口包扎起来。他使劲的按住伤口，使血流得慢些，一直等到警察和救护车的到来。

约翰说：“我为自己所做的事感到骄傲，不过，我所做的都是以前别人教会我做的事。”

约翰在读高中时就参加了青年救生员组织。该组织的主任艾伦.萨瑟顿先生在向约翰表示祝贺时说：“毫无疑问，是约翰敏捷的思维和在学校学到的急救技术，挽救了斯莱德女士的生命。这表明懂得急救知识的确能发挥重要的作用。”

约翰和其他九位救生员在昨晚颁奖前，还出席了由首相主持的特殊的招待会。

Unit 2 The United Kingdom Reading

PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY

People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.You can clarify this question if you study British history.First there was England.Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century.Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well.Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to “Great Britain”.Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well.Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way.However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government.So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas(eg, the currency and international relations), but they still have very different institutions.For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!

England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones.The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North.You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England.Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two!It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors.For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans.There you will find out more about British history and culture.The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings.It is the centre of national government and its administration.It has the oldest port built by the Romans in the first century AD, the oldest building begun by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066.There has been four sets of invaders of England.The first invaders, the Romans, left their towns and roads.The second, the Anglo-Saxons, left their language and their government.The third, the Vikings, influenced the vocabulary and place-names of the North of England, and the fourth, the Normans, left castles and introduced new words for food.If you look around the British countryside you will find evidence of all these invaders.You must keep your eyes open if you are going to make your trip to the United Kingdom enjoyable and worthwhile.人们可能会奇怪为什么用不同的词语来描述英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰这四个国家。如果你研究英国的历史，你就能够弄明白这个问题。

首先是英格兰。威尔士于公元13世纪就同英格兰联合起来了。如今只要有人提起英格兰，你就会发现威尔士总是包

括在内的。然后，于17世纪英格兰、威尔士同苏格兰联合起来，名字改为大不列颠。令人庆幸的是，当苏格兰的詹姆士国王成为英格兰和威尔士的国王时，这三个国家在无（军事）冲突的情况下实现了联合。最后在20世纪初通过同样的和平方式，英国政府尽力把爱尔兰也纳入进来，组成了联合王国。然而，爱尔兰的南部却不情愿这样并分离出去建立了自己的政府。因此只有北爱尔兰同英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰联合起来组成了联合王国，这一点从新的联合王国国旗（“联合杰克”）上就可以看得出来。

值得称赞的是：这四个国家在一些方面（比方说在货币和国际关系上），它们的确是共同合作的，但是有些制度仍然区别很大。例如，北爱尔兰、英格兰和苏格兰在教育体制和立法体制上都存在着差异，并且它们有着各自的足球队参加像世界杯之类的比赛！

在这四个国家中，英格兰是最大的。为了方便，它大致可以划分为三个地区。最靠近法国的那个地区叫做英格兰南部，中部地区叫英格兰中部，最靠近苏格兰的那个地区叫英格兰北部。你会发现大部分人口居住在南部，但是大部分工业城市在中部和北部。虽然就全国范围来说，这些城市都不像中国的城市那样大，但是它们都有着世界闻名的足球

队，有的城市甚至还有两个队！令人遗憾的是这些建于19世纪的工业城市并不能吸引游客。要找历史性的建筑你得去罗马人建造的更古老的但是比较小的城镇。在那儿你能找到更多有关英国历史和文化的东西。

Unit 4 Earthquakes Reading

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 pigs 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 sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky.In the city, the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst，but the one million people of 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-thirds of them died or 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 oigs 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 begab 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 bu train,truck and plane.Slowly,the city began to breathe again.Office of the City Government
