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

Christmas

Memories of Christmas

For me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold, windy month of November.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.We seriously wrote “Father Christmas, the North pole on the envelope, before giving them to our mother to post.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.And of course, there was snow everywhere.Enough snow to make snowmen, and to have exciting snowball fights in the school playground.On Christmas Eve, the whole family helped to decorate the house, put up the Christmas tree, the decorations and the balloons.Then, in the afternoon, when Auntie Kathleen and my two cousins arrived, everything was ready.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.We tries to stay awake as long as possible to see Father Christmas but the next thing we knew it was morning.Christmas morning!

At the bottom of the bed was the stocking, now full of kinds of small presents and sweets.Christmas morning was bright and I went out into the garden to play a lunch!Was bright and sunny and, after church, my with our new presents.Lunch was always late, but what a lunch!A big turkey with all the vegetables followed put so much food in my mouth sometimes that it was laughed at jokes, put on silly paper hats and laughed again.After lunch, the adults slept on the sofas in front of the Queen‟s speech on television whole we all played cards.Then we had tea, with a huge Christmas cake covered eating.By bedtime all of thr children were very tired.As soon as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep, happy sleep.④圣诞节 圣诞回忆

对我来说，圣诞节总是开始在中间的冷，风的十一月。我的姐姐，艾丽森，和我坐在火炉前，写信给圣诞老人告诉他我们想要的礼物的一封信。我们认真地写了“圣诞老人，信封上的北极，然后交给妈妈寄。

十二月我们的兴奋与日俱增–为我们翻开了新的一年的日历，圣诞卡抵达后，圣诞灯出现在街头，我们参加了镇上的颂歌。当然，那里到处都是雪。足够堆雪人，并在学校的操场上有激动人心的打雪仗。

在平安夜，全家人帮助装饰房子，把圣诞树，圣诞装饰和气球。然后，在下午，当凯思琳阿姨和我的两个兄弟来了，一切都准备好了。我们睡觉之前，我们给圣诞老人留些酒和饼干，然后把袜子放在床底。我们试图尽可能长的保持清醒看到圣诞老人，但接下来我们知道它是早晨。圣诞节的早晨！

在床的底部是袜子，现在满的小礼物和糖果类。圣诞节的早晨阳光明媚，我到花园里去玩一个午餐！阳光明媚，礼拜后，我与我们的新礼物。午餐总是很晚，但午餐！与所有的蔬菜大火鸡然后把如此多的食物在我的嘴有时是讲着笑话，戴上傻傻的纸帽子，再笑。

午饭后，大人睡在女王演讲前的沙发上电视全我们打牌。然后我们喝茶，吃一个巨大的圣诞蛋糕覆盖。到睡觉的时候所有的孩子们都很累。当我们把灯关了，我们都陷入了深深的，幸福的睡眠。

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 万圣节快乐！

2000多年前，人们称为凯尔特人居住在欧洲北部。他们崇拜太阳神，认为神造他们的作物生长。在10月31日夜，在庄稼已收割和储存的绕线机，凯尔特人开始了为期3天的新年假期。在这段时间内，他们提供的作物和动物尸体感谢上帝和从动物的头和皮服装跳舞。

后来，当罗马人入侵欧洲。他们采用了凯尔特人的新年习俗和使用他们自己的节日。在公元835年，欧洲的天主教了假日，在1十一月，万圣节，纪念圣徒。后来，它发明了另一个节日在十一月2，万灵节，纪念死去的人。为了庆祝万灵节，人，大篝火，装扮成天使，魔鬼，圣徒和巫婆。他们点燃蜡烛制成镂空的萝卜还是南瓜吓跑鬼灯笼。在这个晚上，人们也专程从村庄找食物。据认为，任何的村庄，不给食物会带来坏运气。

渐渐地，在过去的几年中，凯尔特人，罗马天主教的习俗和节日混合到一起，并最终成为被称为万圣节十月31。

在第十九世纪，爱尔兰移民把万圣节习俗从欧洲到美国。今天，在美国和英国，万圣节已经成为年轻人的一个特殊的场合。在这些国家，孩子们穿着怪异的服装和挨家挨户说“恶作剧还是款待！“给他们糖果带回家。

“Are you the Ghost of Christmas Future?” Scrooge asked nervously.The ghost did not answer.It took Scrooge and showed him scenes of the future.In one people were talking about Scrooge‟s death, but not one person was unhappy about it.The ghost also took him to the Cratchit family.The family was very sad.The little boy, Tiny Tim, him died.The next morning Scrooge opened his window and asked, “What day is it today?”

“Why sir, it‟s Christmas Day,” replied a young boy in the street.“Merry Christmas!Merry Christmas!” He wished everybody he saw Merry Christmas.He met the man who had asked for money for the poor and gave him a large sum of money.Scrooge then went and visited his nephew and had the best Christmas dinner in his life.The next day he went to his office early.He waited for Bob Cratchit.“You are late!” said Scrooge in an angry voice.“Yes, I‟m very sorry…” replied poor Bob.“In that case, I‟m afraid I‟m going to…increase your salary!Merry Christmas, Bob!”

第二篇：高中英语必修一课文翻译

我上高中的一天

我叫李康，住在石家庄，一个距离北京不远的城市。它是河北的省会。今天是我上高中的第一天，我正在记载我的一些想法。

我的新学校很好，我能看出这是为什么。老师们非常热情友好，教室令人惊奇。每间教室都有一台电脑，配有特别的屏幕，几乎和电影屏幕一样大。老师们在电脑上打字，这样他们打出的字就显示在他们身后的屏幕上。屏幕上海能显示图片，文本及来自网上的信息。它们真是太棒了。

英语课确实很有趣。老师是一位非常热情的叫沈老师的女士。我们使用新课本，并且沈老师的教学方法与我的初中老师的教学方法完全不同。她认为阅读理解很重要，不过我们课堂英语也讲得很多。我们上课很快乐。我认为我是不会对沈老师课厌烦的。

今天我们讨论互相自我介绍

。我们是以小组讨论式进行的。有些学生起初有些尴尬，不过每个人都很友善，这真是好。沈老师给我们提出要求，然后我们自己活动。

沈老师想帮助我们提高拼写和书写水平。我们用拼写游戏和其他活动这类有趣的方式来进行。我很喜欢她的态度，其他学生的行为表明他们也喜欢她。

我班上有65个学生，比我原来初中班上的人数多。学生中49人是女生。换句话说，女生的人数是男生的三倍。他们说通常女生比男生学习更努力，但在这个班上，每个人都很努力。作为我们今晚的家庭作业，我们写一篇描述我们所住街道的文章。

我的新教师 常言道第一印象非常重要，李老师给我的第一印象是紧张而且害羞。我想她那时可能就是这样，因为那是她给我们上的第一堂课。但现在，两周之后，全班同学都很喜欢上她的课了。她既和蔼又有耐心，而且她讲解英语语法如此清楚，以至于连我都明白。她避免使你感到自己很愚蠢。说英语时我一直很讨厌出错或发音有误。可是李老师只是笑笑，这样你就不会感到自己很蠢。我想可能对于成绩好的学生来说，她讲的有点慢，但是对我来说却极好。我觉得我会在她的课上取得进步的。

我猜陈老师快60岁了，她非常严厉——除非她要求我们（讲话），否则我们一句话也不敢说。她也很严肃而且不大爱笑。当她要你做什么事情时，你一定要马上做。我们班有几个学生上课老迟到，可是上陈老师的课他们一直都很准时。我们班有些同学不喜欢她，但是我们大多数人真的很佩服她，因为她讲课非常有条理，也很清楚。甚至还有几个学生表示喜欢她。在做科学实验时，她讲解的很确切，因此我的学习不断进步。虽然物理永远不会是我最喜欢的学科，但是我想由陈老师教我，我在考试中取得好成绩。

吴老师只教了我们两个星期就已经很受欢迎了。我想这是因为他真的喜欢语文数学——应该是热爱。他总是充满活力，这是一节你不会睡觉的课。我觉得他大约28岁，长得相当帅。他声音洪亮而且说话快，他兴奋的时候还会挥舞双手。他非常有趣，觉得我们感到厌烦时就讲笑话。上吴老师的课，即使向作文和总结这样的东西都充满了乐趣。我很敬重他。

我的首次火车之旅

我的名字叫爱丽丝.汤姆逊。我来自澳大利亚的悉尼，我18岁了。最近，我首次乘一列长途列车旅行。这次旅行真棒。我和我的朋友乘的著名的Ghan列车。我们在悉尼上车，在艾利斯斯普林下车，恰好在澳大利亚的中心，行程四千多里。我们在火车上度过了两天两夜。

这列火车非常不错，吃的食物相当棒。我们吃的美味饭菜是由烹饪专家做的。旅途的前几百公里景色非常丰富多彩。有土地，土壤是红色的。然后就是沙漠，太阳照耀着，没有一丝风，天空也没有云彩。突然，它看起来好像另一个时代的某个地方。我们看到被遗弃的农庄，这些农庄的建立史有一百多年。

乘这列火车是舒服的，车上的人也很友好。在白天，我做在车里看窗外，有时和别的乘客说说话。我读书，听汉语磁带。一天晚上，大约是午夜，差不多有一个多小时我都在注视着夜晚的天空。星星像钻石一样闪烁。

为什么这列火车叫Ghan？很久以前，澳大利亚人需要一种通往国家中部的途径，他们试过马，可是马不适合炎热的天气和沙地。一百五十年前，他们从阿富汗带回来一些骆驼。Ghan 是阿富汗的缩写。

对于长途跋涉而言，骆驼比马好得多。许多年以前，训练有素的骆驼运出事物和其他供给物，然后带回羊毛和其他产品。

阿富汗人和他们的骆驼穿梭其间，直到20世纪20年代。后来，政府建了一条新的铁路线，因此他们不再需要骆驼了。1925年，他们通过了一项法律，如果这些动物成了麻烦，就允许人们可以射杀它们。1935年，一个镇的警察曾在一天内在一天内射杀了153头骆驼。

因特网的发展历程

Internet是全世界最大的计算机网络，它起源与美国国防部高级研究计划局ARPA 于1968年主持研制的用于支持军事研究的计算机实验网ARPANET。ARPANET建网的初衷在帮助那些为美国军方工作的研究人员通过计算机交换信息，它的设计与实现基于这样一种主导思想：网络要能够经得住故障的考验而维持正常工作，当网络的一部分因受攻击而失去作用时，网络的其他部分仍能维持正常通信。

1985年当时美国国家科学基金NSF为鼓励大学和研究机构，共享他们非常昂贵四台计算机主机，希望通过计算机网络把各个大学和研究机构的计算机与这些巨型计算机连接起来。开始他们想用现成的ARPANET，不过他们发觉与美国军方打交道不是一件容易的事，于是他们决定利用ARPANET发展出来叫TCP/IP 的通讯协议自己出资建立名叫NSFNET 的广域网。由于美国国家科学资金的鼓励和资助，许多大学、政府资助的研究机构，甚至私营的研究机构纷纷把自己的局域网并入NSFNET。这样使NSFET在1986年建成后取代ARPANET成为Internet的主干网。

90年代初期，随着WWW的发展，Internet 逐渐走向民用，由于WWW良好的界面大大简化了Internet操作的难度，使得用户的数量急剧增加，许多政府机构、商业公司意识到Internet，这样Internet上的点数大大增长，网络上的信息 五花八门、十分丰富。如今Internet已经深入到人们生活的各个部分，通过WWW浏览、电子邮件等方式，人们可以及时地获得自己所需的信息。Internet大大方便了信息传播，给人们带来了一种全新的通讯方式，可以说Internet是继电报、电话发明以来人类通讯方式的又一次革命。

第三篇：高中英语必修一课文及翻译

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.第一单元 友谊 Reading 安妮最好的朋友

你是不是想有一位无话不谈能推心置腹的朋友呢？或者你是不是担心你的朋友会嘲笑你，会不理解你目前的困境呢？安妮·弗兰克想要的是第一种类型的朋友，于是她就把日记当成了她最好的朋友。安妮在第二次世界大战期间住在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹。她一家人都是犹太人，所以他们不得不躲藏起来，否则他们就会被德国纳粹抓去。她和她的家人躲藏了两年之后才被发现。在这段时间里，她唯一的忠实朋友就是她的日记了。她说，“我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账。我要把这本日记当作我的朋友，我要把我这个朋友称作基蒂”。现在，来看看安妮在藏身处躲了一年多之后的那种心情吧。

1944年6月15日 星期四 亲爱的基蒂： 我不知道这是不是因为我长久无法出门的缘故，我变得对一切与大自然有关的事物都无比狂热。我记得非常清楚，以前，湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花，从未令我心迷神往过。自从我来到这里，这一切都变了。……比方说，有天晚上天气很暖和，我熬到 11点半故意不睡觉，为的是独自好好看看月亮。但是因为月光太亮了，我不敢打开窗户。还有一次，就在五个月以前的一个晚上，我碰巧在楼上，窗户是开着的。我一直等到非关窗不可的时候才下楼去。漆黑的夜晚，风吹雨打，雷电交加，我全然被这种力量镇住了。这是我一年半以来第一次目睹夜晚…… 你的 安妮 Using Language Reading, listening and writing 亲爱的王小姐： 我同班上的同学有件麻烦事。我跟我们班里的一位男同学一直相处很好，我们常常一起做家庭作业，而且很乐意相互帮助。我们成了非常好的朋友。可是，其他同学却开始在背后议论起来，他们说我和这位男同学在谈恋爱，这使我很生气。我不想中断这段友谊，但是我又讨厌人家背后说闲话。我该怎么办呢？ 莉萨 Reading and writing 尊敬的编辑： 我是苏州高中的一名学生。我有一个难题，我不太善于同人们交际。虽然我的确试着去跟班上的同学交谈，但是我还是发现很难跟他们成为好朋友。因此，有时候我感到十分孤独。我确实想改变这种现状，但是我却不知道该怎么办。如果您能给我提些建议，我会非常感激的。晓东

第二单元 世界上的英语 Reading 通向 通向现代英语之路 16世纪末期大约有5百万到7百万人说英语，几乎所有这些人都生活在英国。在17世纪英国人开始往世界其它地区迁移。于是，许多别的国家开始说英语了。如今说英语的人比以往任何时候更多了，他们有的是作为第一语言来说，有的是作为第二语言或外语。中国也许是把英语作为外语来说的人数最多的国家。以英语作为母语的人，即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同，也可以互相交流。然而，他们可能不是什么都懂。比方说，一个英国人可能对她的朋友说：“请到我的公寓（flat）里来坐坐，好吗？”她的一位美国朋友可能会问她，“到哪儿去？”她的加拿大朋友可能会解释说，“她的意思是要我们到她的房间（apartment）去。” 那么，英语在一段时间里为什么会起变化呢？当不同文化互相沟通时，所有的语言都会发生变化。从公元450年到1150年，人们所说的英语跟今天所说的英语就很不一样。实际上，当时的英语更多地是以德语为基础的，而现代英语不是。然后大约在公元 1150年到1500年期间，英语的变化就更大了，它不那么像德语，而更像法语了，因为那时的英国的统治者讲法语，它变得更接近你们正在学习的这种语言。在17世纪，莎士比亚所用的词汇量比以前任何时期都大。英语用法发生了一次大变化，那就是在诺厄·韦伯斯特编纂《美国英语词典》的那个时期，这本词典体现了美国英语的特色。后来，有些英国人到了澳大利亚，那里的人也开始说英语了。如今，澳大利亚英语也有它自己的特色了。英语在南亚也被当作外语或第二语言来使用。印度拥有众多讲英语的人，这是因为英国于1765 年到1947年统治过印度。在此期间，英语成了政府和教育的语言。在非洲和亚洲许多其它国家，比如南非、新加坡、马来西亚等国，人们也说英语。在中国，大约从1842年起，香港就开始用英语了。目前在中国学习英语的人数正在迅速增长。中国英语将来会不会成为世界英语中的一种呢？这只好由时间来回答了。Using Language Reading and talking 什么是标准英语？是在英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、印度、新西兰所说的英语吗？信不信由你，（世界上）没有什么标准英语。许多人认为，电视和收音机里所说的就是标准英语，这是因为在早期的电台节目里，人们期望新闻播音员所说的英语是最好的英语。然而，即使在电视和收音机里，你也会听出人们在说话时的差异。当人们用不同于“标准语言”的词语时，那就叫做方言。美国英语有许多方言，特别是中西部和南部地区的方言，以及黑人和西班牙人的方言。在美国有些地区，相邻城镇的两地人所说的方言都可能稍有不同。美国英语之所以有这么多的方言是因为美国人是来自世界各地的缘故。地理位置对方言的产生也有影响。住在美国东部山区的某些人说着比较古老的英语方言。当美国人从一个地方搬到另一个地方时，他们也就把他们的方言随着带去了。因此，美国东南部山区的人同美国西北部的人所说的方言就几乎相同。美国是一个大国，国内说着许许多多的方言。虽然许多美国人经常在搬家，但是他们仍然能够辨别彼此的方言。

第三单元 游记 Reading 沿湄公河而下的旅程 第一部分 梦想与计划 我的名字叫王坤。从高中起，我姐姐王薇和我就一直梦想作一次伟大的自行车旅行。到大学毕业时，我们终于有了机会。首先想到要沿湄公河从源头到终点骑车旅游的是我的姐姐。她喜欢在乡下作长途自行车旅行。两年前，她买了一辆价钱昂贵的山地自行车，然后她还说服我也买了一辆（山地车）。去年她（骑车）去看望了我们的表兄弟——在昆明读大学的刀卫和宇航。他们是傣族人，在云南省西部靠近澜沧江的地方长大，湄公河在中国境内的这一段叫澜沧江，在其他国家（境内）叫湄公河。很快，王薇使表兄弟也对骑车旅游产生了兴趣。王薇有时确实很固执。尽管她对到某些地方的最佳路线并不清楚，她却坚持我们要找到河的源头，并从那里开始我们的行程。她告诉我，她要把这次旅游安排得尽善尽美。于是，我就知道这个尽善尽美的方式总是她的方式。我问她是否看过地图。当然她并没有看过——我的姐姐是不会考虑细节的。于是，我告诉她，湄公河的源头在青海省。她给了我一个坚定的眼神——这种眼神表明她是不会改变主意的。我说，我们的旅行将从5, 000多米的高地出发，这时她似乎显得很兴奋。当我告诉她那里空气稀薄，呼吸困难，而且天气很冷时，她却说这将是一次有趣的经历。我非常了解我的姐姐，她一旦下了决心，什么也不能使她改变。最后，我只好让步了。在我们旅行前的几个月，王薇和我去了图书馆。我们找到一本大型地图册，里面有一些世界地理的明细图。我老是问她，“我们什么时候动身？什么时候回来？”我们从图上可以看到，湄公河发源于西藏一座山上的冰川。起初，江面很小，河水清澈而冷冽，然后它开始快速流动。它穿过深谷时就变成了急流，流经云南西部。有时，这条江进入宽阔的峡谷，就形成了瀑布。我们俩惊奇地发现这条河有一半是在中国境内。当流出中国，流出高地之后，湄公河就变宽了，变暖了，河水也变成了黄褐色。而当它进入东南亚以后，河水慢慢地穿过小山和低谷，以及长着稻谷的平原。最后，湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中国南海。Using Language Reading and speaking 夜晚的西藏山景 第二部分 山中一宿 虽然是秋天，但是西藏已经开始下雪了。我们感到腿又沉又冷，还以为腿结成冰了呢。你看到过雪人骑自行车吗？像往常一样，王薇在我的前面，我知道我用不着给她鼓劲儿。上山很艰难，而下山却很好玩。等我们到达山谷，天气就暖和多了，我们不得不把帽子、外衣、手套和长裤换成T恤衫和短裤。然后，当我们到达较冷的高地时，我们又得换衣服。刚到傍晚，我们就停下来宿营，先把帐篷支起来，然后吃饭。晚饭后，王薇就去睡觉了，而我却睡不着。半夜里，天空变得清朗了，星星很亮。山里非常安静——那天晚上几乎没有风，只有篝火的声音。我们已经走得很远了，马上就要到达云南的大理。在那里，我们的表兄弟刀卫和宇航将加入我们的行列。我们迫不及待地想要见到他们！

四单元 地震 Reading 地球的一个不眠之夜 河北省东北部的农村不断有些怪事发生：三天来，村子里的井水升升降降，起起伏伏。农夫注意到，水井的井壁上有深深的裂缝，裂缝里冒出臭气。农家大院里的鸡, 甚至猪都紧张得不吃食。老鼠从田地里跑出来找地方藏身。鱼缸和池塘里的鱼会往外跳。1976年7月28日凌晨3点左右，人们看到天上一道道明亮的光。即使天空没有飞机，在唐山城外也可以听到飞机声。在市内，有些建筑物里的水管爆裂开来。但是，唐山市的一百万居民几乎都没有把这些情况当一回事，当天晚上照常上床睡觉了。凌晨3点42分，一切都开始摇晃起来。世界似乎到了末日！二十世纪最大的一次地震就在唐山市正下方11公里处发生了，100公里以外的北京市都听到了地震声，全国1 / 3的地方都有震感。一条8公里长30米宽的巨大裂缝横穿房舍、马路和渠道。地上一些洞穴冒出了蒸气。石头山变成了泥沙河，在可怕的15秒钟内，一座大城市就沉沦在一片废墟之中。2/3的人在地震中死去或受伤。成千上万个完整的家庭遇难，许许多多的孩子变成了孤儿。死伤的人数达到40多万。幸存的人们又怎么能相信这是自然现象呢？人们无论朝哪里看，哪里的一切都几乎被毁了。所有的市内医院、75%的工厂和建筑物、90%的家园都消失了。残砖就像秋天的红叶覆盖着大地，然而它们是不可能被风刮走的。两座大坝垮了，多数桥梁不是塌了就是无法安全通行了。铁轨如今成了一条条废钢。好几万头牛再也挤不出奶来。50万头猪和几百万只鸡全都死了。井里满是沙子，而不是水。人们惊呆了。接着，在下午晚些时候，又一次强烈的地震震撼着唐山。有些医生和救援人员被困在废墟下面。更多的房屋倒塌了。水、电和食物都很难弄到。人们开始纳闷，这场灾难还会持续多久。不是所有的希望都破灭了。部队派了15万名战士到唐山来协助救援人员，数十万的人得到了援助。救援人员组成小分队，将受困的人们挖出来，将死者掩埋。在唐山市的北边，有一个万名矿工的煤矿，其中多数人得救了。援救人员为那些家园被毁的幸存者盖起了避难所，用火车、卡车和飞机向市内运来了水。慢慢地、慢慢地，这座城市又开始出现了生机。Using Language Reading, writing and speaking 200（）年7月5日 中国唐山市政府办公室 亲爱的同学： 恭喜你！我们很高兴地告诉你，你在以新唐山为主题的中学演讲比赛中获得第一名。评委会的五位评委听了你的演讲，他们都认为你的那篇是今年收到的演讲稿中最好的一篇。你的父母亲和你的学校应该为你而骄傲！下个月我们市将开放一个新公园，以纪念在那次可怕的灾难中死去的人们，并向那些曾经为幸存者提供过帮助的人们致敬。我们办公室想请你在7月28日上午11点给来公园的参观者进行演讲。你知道，二十（）年前的这一天正是唐山发生地震的日子。在这个特殊的日子里，我们邀请你把家人和朋友一起带来。张沙

第五单元 纳尔逊·曼德拉——一位当代英雄 Reading 伊莱亚斯的故事 我的名字叫伊莱亚斯。我是南非的一个穷苦的黑人工人。第一次见到纳尔逊·曼德拉的时候，是我一生中非常艰难的时期。当时我才12岁，那是在1952年，他开设了一家黑人律师事务所，为那些遇到麻烦的穷苦黑人提供咨询服务。我六岁开始上学，我仅仅在那里读了两年的学校有三公里远。我不得不辍学，因为我的家庭无法继续支付学费和交通费。我既不会读，也不会写。几经周折，我才在一家金矿找到一份工作。那个时候你要想住在约翰内斯堡就非得要有身份证不可。非常遗憾的是我没有这个证件，因为我不是在那里出生的，我很担心我是不是会失业。那天，纳尔逊·曼德拉告诉我该怎么做，而且还帮我的忙，这是我一生中最高兴的日子。他告诉我要在约翰内斯堡立住脚，应当如何获取所需文件。我永远也忘记不了他对我的恩情，当他组织了非国大青年联盟时，我马上就参加了这个组织。他说：“过去30年来所出现的大量法律剥夺我们的权利，阻挡我们的进步，一直到今天，我们还处在几乎什么权利都没有的阶段。” 他说的是真话。当时黑人没有选举权，他们无权选择管理他们的人。他们在城里的住宅区都是由白人决定的。他们不能做自己想要做的工作。他们被打发去居住的地方是南非最贫穷的地区。在那儿，没有人能够种庄稼。事实上，就像拉尔逊·曼德拉所说的： “……我们被置于这样一个境地：要么我们被迫接受低人一等的现实，要么跟政府作斗争。我们选择向法律进攻。首先我们用和平的方式来破坏法律，而当这种方式也得不到允许时，……只有到这个时候，我们才决定用暴力反抗暴力。” 事实上，我并不喜欢暴力，但是在1963年的时候，我帮助他炸毁了一些政府大楼。那是很危险的事情，因为如果我被抓住了，可能就要坐几年牢。但是，我乐于帮忙，因为我知道，这是为了实现我们的黑人和白人平等的梦想。Using Language Reading 伊莱亚斯的故事续篇 你无法想象罗本岛这个名字听起来多么令我们恐惧。那是一座任何人也逃不出去的监狱。在那里我度过了我一生中最艰难的岁月。但是我到那里时，纳尔逊·曼德拉也在那儿。从某种意义上讲，这倒帮了我的忙。曼德拉先生为我们那些几乎没有上过学的人开办学校。他在午餐后的休息时间以及晚上本来该睡觉的时间教我们学习。我们躲在毯子下面读书，我们用可以找到的任何东西作蜡烛来看书。我成了一名好学生，想要为我的学位而学习，但是别人不允许我这样做。我知道我是够聪明的，并且有能力拿到学位。曼德拉先生让狱卒参加我们一起学习。他说他们不应该被剥夺学习的权利。他们并不比我更聪明，却通过了考试，因此我就知道我也能够拿到学位。这让我觉得自己还不错。在监狱里呆完四年之后，我去找工作。因为我受过比较好的教育，我得到了一份坐办公室的工作。可是警察局发现了，告诉了我们那个行业的重要人物，说我因为炸政府大楼而坐过牢。于是我失业了。在曼德拉和非国大于1994年掌权之前，我有20年没有工作。在此期间，我的妻儿只得从亲戚朋友处讨饭吃，并乞求帮助。幸亏曼德拉先生还记得我，给了我一份工作，叫我带着旅行团去参观罗本岛上我住过的那座旧监狱。第一次给旅行团作讲解时，我的心情很不好。我回忆起那时所有的恐怖和令人畏惧的情景。我记起了狱卒的鞭打和暴行，我想到了我那些死去的朋友，我觉得我不能做这份（导游的）工作。但是我的家人却鼓励我，他们说，从南非新政府得到的这份工作和薪饷，是我毕生为争取黑人的平等权利而斗争所得到的回报。现在，我51岁了，我还能给参观者介绍有关监狱的情况，对此我感到非常骄傲，因为我曾经为黑人在自己的国土上争取自由而出过力。
