Do You Know My Work？
One night a hotel caught fire，and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes．
Two men stood outside and looked at the fire．
“Before I came out，” said one，“I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money． People don't think of money when they're afraid． When anyone leaves paper money in a fire，the fire burns it． So I took all the bills that I could find．No one will be poorer because I took them．”
“You don't know my work，” said the other．
“What is your work？”
“I'm a policeman．
“Oh！” cried the first man． He thought quickly and said，“And do you know my work？”“No，”said the policeman．
“I'm a writer． I'm always telling stories about things that never happened．”译文：
你知道我是干什么的吗？
一天晚上，一家旅馆失火，住在这家旅馆里的人穿着睡 衣就跑了出来。两个人站在外面，看着大火。
“在我出来之前，”其中一个说：“我跑进一些房间，找到了一大笔钱。人在恐惧中是不会想到钱的。如果有人把纸币留在火里，火就会把它烧成灰烬。所以我把所能找到的钞票都拿走了。没有人会因为我拿走它们而变得更穷。”
“你不知道我是干什么的。”另一个说。
“你是干什么的？”
“我是警察。”
“噢！”第一个人喊了一声,灵机一动,说：“那你知道我是干什么的？”“不知道。”警察说。
“我是个作家。我总是爱编一些从未发生过的故事。”
第四篇：英语短文
林飞的家离学校大约10千米。他每天6点钟起床，沐浴，很快吃完早餐。然后他在大约6点半动向去学校。首先他骑自行车去汽车站。大约需要10分钟。然后他乘早班公共汽车去学校。乘公共汽车通常大约需要25分钟。
在北美洲，大多数学生乘坐校车去上学。一些学生也步行或骑自行车去学校。在世界的其他地方，情况有所不同。在日本，大部分学生坐火车去上学，但也有一些人步行或骑自行车。在中国，这要视你住在哪里而定。在大城市里，学生通常骑自行车或坐公共汽车上学。在有河或湖的地方，像洪山湖或开山岛，学生通常乘坐小船去学校。那一定比乘坐公共汽车上学更有趣！

有些朋友有相反的观点和爱好，有些喜欢同样的东西。你的观点是什么？朋友应当相同还是不同？我们询问了一些人他们所想的，这是他们所说的。
我喜欢拥有像我一样的朋友。我比我班里大多数的孩子都文静，我最好的朋友袁丽也很文静，尽管我们有些不同。我比袁丽聪明，但她更擅长运动。

年轻人认为城里的这些地方怎么样?我们对我们的读者做了一个调查，这是我们了解到的情况。所有的电影院都很好，但影视城是我们城镇最好的。它有最大的屏幕和最舒适的座椅。然而，都市影院是最便宜的，它还有最友好的服务。最受欢迎的服装店是詹森服装店。它有质量最好的衣服，价格也是最便宜的。流行时装店是最差的，它的服务真差。至于广播电台，大多数人认为调频107.9兆赫爵士乐电台相当棒。它播放的音乐最引人入胜。

第五篇：英语短文
20岁的李栗（清华大学三年级学生）已经高分过了英语六级，正准备“专八”的考试。她联系到记者时，腼腆地表示“我主要想给大家介绍一下自己背专八单词经验。当然，每个人都有自己的方法，我这个仅供参考而已”。
1．背单词要背得好，要背得快，最基本的原则是脑子不断地想单词，让单词不断地从脑子里过，看书看10遍，还不如脑子过一遍。要做到单词在脑子里过的次数比在书本上过的次数多得多，要做到完全抛开书本，不依赖书本，不拿书的时候也在想单词、背单词。要尽量在单词被忘记之前在脑子里过一遍，这样，它留给你的印象要深得多，就算以后忘记，也很容易记起来。
2．背单词时还要注意在单词之间建立联系。当然，刚开始时可能能建立的联系很少，但要注意培养这种意识，争取一串串地背单词，看见一个，就能想起一串。比如，同义的单词一块儿记，反义的、形似的、分类的、词根的，背单词一段时间之后，就应该看到该单词，想一想以前学过什么同义的，如果只有印象而想不起来，最好在一个笔记本上记一笔，下次碰到该单词时，特别注意。比如，背单词一段时间后，应该问自己：我一共学了多少关于衣服的词？如果你只记得中文意思，想不起英文，下次就要特别注意了。或者你看到holograph的时候是否能想起homograph?芽虽然有些书给你整理了一些联系，可我觉得自己总结的才会印象最深。
这样，单词之间建立联系后，不拿书本的时候你也能利用这些联系不断地想单词，当某一个单词记不起来时，就要注意了。不妨看后面的单词时，就不断地想前面学过的单词中有哪些类似的，或意思相反的，把有联系的单词的页数写在单词旁，每当看到这个单词时，总想起和它有关的单词，想不起时再根据页数翻看。如果有印象而想不起来，就在笔记本上记一笔，下次补上。
3．背单词时不要在一个单词上花的时间太多，根本不用超过一分钟，像扫描般一掠而过。只是重复的次数要多，特别在脑子里重复的次数要比在书本上重复的次数多得多。其他方法还有听录音带，背单词软件等等。不时翻一翻别的单词书也挺有用，因为有新鲜感
