Theme related writing Write a passage in about 100-120 words, taking either of the following titles: Why I like to learn English I have learned English for about seven years.I should say that I am highly motivated to master English.First of all, learning English is useful, as it is becoming a world language and people from different countries often communicate with one another in English.If I am good at English, it will be much easier for me to communicate with them.Secondly, I like traveling a lot.A good mastery of English will make things much easier for me when traveling around the world.Finally, I like literature a lot.If I am very good at English, I can read great works by Shakespeare and Dickens and many other English writers instead of reading the translated versions.(118 words)Why I hate to learn English I have learned English for about seven years.I should say the more I learn English, the more I hate it.First of all, learning English is boring.I have to memorize many new words or rely on a dictionary to frequently check unknown words.Doing so wastes a lot of my precious time.Secondly, I don't understand why we have to learn a foreign language.I don't want to go abroad and I can always find a job that doesn't need English in China.Finally, I can always read translated versions of the books I want to read.So, if I don't have to learn English, I would rather use the time I spend on English to do things I like.(121 words)

2)I was grateful that my mother criticised me the other day.I had been asking her for money to buy all kinds of things that my friends have — a new pair of shoes or some new clothes.Every time I was refused, I played the same trick-threatening to pour the dish she cooked for the family into the river.My mother gave in each time I threatened to do that, but one day, she criticised me really hard.She scolded me for being selfish and inconsiderate and asked me to sit in a corner and reflect on my own behaviour.I couldn't believe my mother would be so angry with me and I grew afraid.I learned a good lesson and changed a lot afterwards.I was thankful that my mother made me realize my mistakes.(139 words)2.Describe your attitude towards your father or mother when you were a teenager.When you could not agree with each other, what did you do? Use an incident from daily life to support the description.My father is a well-known carpenter in my village.I still remember that when I was in my mid-teens, I used to adore him so much that I followed him and helped him make furniture for the other villagers.He not only had good skills, but he was also willing to help the villagers with minor repairs such as mending a broken window frame or fixing a door, without charge.All the villagers respected him.They also paid me compliments when they saw me helping him, saying that I would grow up to become honest and industrious just like my father.I was so proud that I had a father who was so well respected.(116 words)

Theme Related Writing Write a passage of about 100-120 words according to one of the instructions given below.a.I have been described by many friends as a warm, sociable, and outgoing extravert.I find it easy to make new friends and I enjoy the company of people who share similar characteristics as I.When I am at a party, many people including those I do not know, will talk to me.I am not a great beauty, neither am I rich and intelligent.In fact, I am just a very simple person who is happy and smiles a lot.Maybe being happy is the attraction.I like bright colours, especially red.It is said that people who like red are passionate and have a lot of energy.I agree that I am enthusiastic about many things and like doing many things at the same time.So it seems there is some truth after all in what colours say about a person’s personality.(141words)

b.The person I admire most is my father’s youngest brother.He is known to us as ba shu because he is the eighth son in a family of eleven.He is a high achiever.Since young, he has done well in his studies and work.For example, he received a prestigious scholarship to study at a well-known medical school in England.Today, at the age of 62, he is still as outstanding.He is a well-respected surgeon and has won many awards.What I like most about ba shu is his sensitive nature, especially toward children who are born unlucky.He has volunteered his time and made sacrifices to help those in poor and developing countries.His strong desire to bring happiness to these people has impressed me a lot.(131 words)c.If I were given a wish to have two personality traits, I would choose to be an optimistic and creative person.I would like to be an optimistic person because those who are optimistic are usually satisfied and contented with what they have.They seldom let sadness be a part of their life.I want to be happy and being optimistic is one way to remain happy.I also would like to be creative.I think that creativity is inherited.Some may disagree and say that we can learn to be creative.However, no matter how hard one learns, it is those born with the talent of creativity who will make a great name for themselves like the famous poet Li Bai and the richest man in the world, Bill Gates.(131 words)

d.Here is no one person I dislike most but there are a couple of personality traits that I cannot tolerate: aggressiveness and selfishness.Aggressive people do not consider others’ feelings and will not think twice about hurting even those closest to them.I once had a neighbour who would beat his wife one day and appear loving the next.His wife lived in fear constantly but could do nothing because he was in control of her.Another personality trait I dislike is selfishness.Like aggressive people, selfish people only think of themselves.There are many everyday examples of selfishness such as those not willing to lend things to others and those not wanting to share exam tips even with their best friends.If you know someone with a combination of aggressiveness and selfishness, you should consider whether to call him or her a friend.(143 words)Unit 4 Enhance Your Language Awareness Working With Words and Expressions 1）1.They were smashing windows when the police arrived.2.70,000 tons of oil spilled from the tanker(油轮)and the sea was polluted.3.She volunteered to write an explanation of how the new computer system works.4.The book was inspired by the good deeds(事迹)of a real person.5.It was blowing hard and very soon the tree in front of my house fell with a great crash.6.The police report stated that he was once arrested for theft.7.The Dean(系主任)is not available at the moment, but you may call back in an hour.8.Up to two million people there are dependent on food aid.9.It was most unfortunate that I missed the chance to be interviewed by the company director.10.Can we find a mutually convenient time for us to meet? 2）1.exclaimed 2.arrange 3.aroused 4.resembles 5.volunteered 6.appreciate 7.requires 8.cracked 9.miracle 10.victims11.precious12.delicate 13.expected 14.interviewed 3）1.take over2.get through 3.no way 4.Leave off 5.put it … together 6.in touch with7.No sooner … than 8.in advance 9.looking forward to 10.arrange for11.in contrast 12.took on 13.made sure 14.move in15.in the hands of 16.go with 17.in poverty Increasing your word power.1）1.commission 2.smashed3.smash 4.volunteered 5.spill6.crash 7.contrast 8.commission 9.spilt 10.volunteer 11.contrasts 12.crashed 2）1.e 2.e 3.a 4.a 5.c 6.d 3）1.happy 2.impulsive 3.carelessness4.calmness5.firm 6.illness7.awareness 8.weakness 9.submissive Grammar Review.Task One Task Two 1.No mistake 2.has been living 3.enjoys 4.No mistake 5.tried 6.No mistake 7.No mistake 8.No mistake 9.have been visiting 10.likes 11.had I got 12.had broken 13.No mistake 14.No mistake 15.was suffering 16.No mistake 17.have been receiving 18.No mistake 19.insisted 20.No mistake 21.No mistake Cloze(1)chilly(2)sooner(3)than(4)exclaimed(5)fabric(6)delicate(7)joints(8)that(9)miracle(10)sacrificed(11)precious(12)loving Translation 1）1.Let’s get in touch as soon as we know the results of the test/exam.2.The music aroused an intense feeling of homesickness in him.3.You’ve been working all morning — you deserve a rest now.4.I had no sooner lain down than the telephone rang.Or: No sooner had I lain down than the telephone rang.5.My doctor says I’m too tired and has advised me not to take on any more work.6.Jenny volunteered to clear up after the gathering.7.The subject of the talk is announced a week in advance, but the name of the speaker is not.8.Your performance in the exam did not reach the required standard — in other words, you failed.9.She was so ill that she had to leave off work..10.There is no way to tell what is going to happen.The case is in the hands of the judge, and all we could do is(to)wait.2)当人们变得很老时，像祖父母或曾祖父母那样，他们有时不再能够照顾自己。他们会生病，或者摔倒而折断股骨，或者他们根本都不记得该如何穿睡衣。有时候虽然有些老人看起来还健康，但是因为他们自己独居，所以觉得很孤单。这时候全家人要碰个头，商讨一下让他们日渐衰老的家人去养老院去居住是否是一个较好的办法，因为在那里他们可以得到更好的照顾。Theme-related Writing 1.Imagine you were Meagan.Write a story about GG and her lost doll.Start the story with: “My GG — that's my great-grandma — lived in Maine many years ago.” My GG — that's my great-grandma — lived in Maine many years ago with her Mom, Dad and four sisters.Life was difficult then, but GG's parents tried their best to make their children happy.One Christmas they gave GG a beautiful doll with an exquisite porcelain face and long brown hair.The eyes of the doll opened and closed vividly.GG loved her doll so much that she played with her for a long time and didn't want to separate with her until it was time for Christmas dinner.GG laid the doll down gently on the hall table.But before long she heard a loud crash — GG's baby sister had pulled her doll off the table and it was smashed into pieces.Though GG's mother tried to put the doll together again, it couldn't be done.The doll was gone for ever.And so was GG's baby sister when she died of pneumonia a few years later.It was a deeply unhappy experience in GG's life.2.Write a short passage of about 100-120 words on the topic: “Living in a Nursing Home: A Plan for the Future?” Living in a Nursing Home: A Plan for the Future? Thanks to medical advances and better living conditions, most of us can live longer.The issue of where we will stay when we get old has become a concern for everyone.I did a survey last week on “Are you willing to go and live in a nursing home when you grow old?” Of the ten people surveyed, seven said “yes.” According to them, living in a nursing home would enable them to meet people of similar ages, get instant medical care, and have their meals and laundry taken care of.The three who don't want to stay in a nursing home think living in a nursing home would make them feel lonely and abandoned on the one hand and would have their privacy intruded upon on the other.Nonetheless, the survey does suggest that more people would be willing to live in a nursing home in the future.(147 words.)Unit 5 Enhance your language awareness Working With Words and Expressions 1)1.When we finally completed our courses, all my classmates gathered together to celebrate.2.I have always wanted to be a psychologist, but a recent incident changed my mind.3.It is not difficult at all.You can get it done with ease.4.To be a good research student, you must have a mind for inquiry.5.I could see her genuine concern for my health and I was deeply touched.6.The boss’s fear of change becomes an obstacle to the progress of the organization.7.Please keep stirring the oil to stop it from getting frozen.8.I am most grateful to you for all the help you have offered us.2)1.senior

Unit 1

塞克哈尔觉得，事实就像太阳一样。大概没有谁能直视太阳而不眨眼，不觉眩晕。他发觉人际关系的精髓在于时时刻刻调和事实，避免冲突。他设定了一个特殊的日子——一年中至少有一天无论如何必须说实话。否则生命还有什么意义。他对这一天充满无数期待，也没有告诉任何人要做这个实验。这是个秘密的决定，一件永远不为人知的事。首次尝试便从妻子准备的早餐开始。他对一道美味举筷不定，这可是妻子自认为的厨中之冠。“怎么啦？不好吃吗？”她问道。要是往常，为了照顾她的情绪，他肯定说：“没有，我吃饱了而已。”可今天他却说：“不好吃。我咽不下去。”看到妻子眉头紧锁，他对自己说：“没办法，事实就像太阳一样。”

第二次尝试是在教师休息室，一个同事走过来说：“某某死了听说了吗？觉得很遗憾吧。”“不觉得，”赛克哈尔回答。“他的确是个好人„„”另一个还没说完。塞克哈尔就抢过来说：“好什么啊，对我他可是个刻薄、自私的家伙。”

塞克哈尔给三年级A班上最后一节地理课时，收到校长递来的便条：回家前请过来一趟。他自言自语道：“肯定是那些可怕的试卷。一百多份字迹潦草的男生的试卷；他已经消极怠工几个礼拜了，感觉头顶像是悬了一把利剑，随时都有刺下来的可能。”

下课铃响起，孩子们潮水般涌出教室。塞克哈尔在校长门口停了会儿，扣好上衣扣子；扣子也是校长经常训诫的目标。

他进了门，彬彬有礼地说了句：“晚上好，校长。” 校长抬起头看着他，十分友善地问道：“今晚有空吗？” 塞克哈尔回答：“答应过家里的孩子要出去„„” “那，可以改天再带他们出去。现在跟我回家。”

“噢„„好的，校长，当然没问题„„”然后怯生生地问：“有什么要紧事吗，校长？” “是的，”校长回答，像是在对自己笑„„“你真的不知道我缺乏音乐天赋吗？” “噢，知道，校长„„”

“我一直在偷偷地学习和练习，今晚想让你听听我演唱。我约好了一个鼓手和一个小提琴手为我伴奏。这还是我的第一次正式演出，想听听你的建议。我知道你的建议弥足珍贵。” 塞克哈尔的音乐品味无人不知。他是小镇里最令人生畏的音乐评论人。可他怎么也没想到，他的音乐爱好将它引入这层磨难„„。“对你来说，有点突然是吧？”校长问。“我已经关上门花了不知道多少钱„„”他们开始往校长家走。“上帝没能给我一个孩子，可至少没有剥夺音乐给我的慰藉，”他们边走校长边悲戚戚地说。他喋喋不休地说着音乐的事：如何完全因打发无聊起步；如何被音乐老师取笑，又被给予希望；他人生的雄心壮志又是如何在音乐的世界里达到忘我的境界。

一到家，校长就大献殷勤。他请塞克哈尔坐在红丝毯上，敬上几样碟中美味，在旁边忙来忙去像是招待上门女婿。他甚至说：“你务必完全放松去听。别为那些试卷烦心。”然后不无幽默的加了一句：“我会给你一周的时间。” “十天怎么样，校长？”塞克哈尔请求。

“好，同意，”校长慷慨地说。塞克哈尔彻底松了口气——他可以一天干掉十份，彻底除掉这件烦心事。

校长点上熏香。“营造点气氛。”他解释说。鼓手和小提琴手已经到位，坐在缅甸仰光进口的小毯子上等他。校长在两人中间坐下来，像音乐会专业演出一般，清清喉咙，起了调子又停下来问：“可以吗，卡亚尼？（塞克哈尔的姓）”塞克哈尔假装没听到校长叫他。校长继续了，唱了一整首提亚咖拉迦（印度作曲家）谱写的歌曲，接下来又唱了两首。从校长一开唱，塞克哈尔就开始在心里默默评论他：“一会儿像是一群青蛙在呱呱叫。一会儿 又像是水牛在哞哞叫。现在则听起来像是暴风雨中摇曳的破窗户扇子。” 熏香快烧完了。塞克哈尔脑袋的剧痛也随着混杂的乐声颤抖起来，这声音至今已经侵袭他的耳鼓几个小时了。他感觉已经有点不省人事。校长的声音近乎嘶哑，他停下来问道：“还要继续吗？” 塞克哈尔感到他真是个无比可怜的家伙。可他也无能为力。他此时比任何即将宣判罪状的法官都感觉痛苦和无奈。塞克哈尔发觉校长的妻子从厨房往这边偷偷张望，一脸的好奇。鼓手和小提琴手终于卸下包袱，松了口气。校长摘下眼镜，抹了把眉毛，问道：“现在说说你的看法吧。”

“我可以明天说嘛，校长？” 塞克哈尔试探着问。“不行。我马上要听——你坦诚的看法。唱的好吗？” “不好，校长„„” 塞克哈尔回答。“噢！„„还有必要继续上音乐课吗？”

“完全没必要了，校长„„”塞克哈尔说，声音有些颤抖。他因为自己不能说的更为缓和而有些难过。事实，他想，不管说出来还是接受都需要同样的勇气。

回家的路上塞克哈尔忧心忡忡。他感觉职业生涯从今以后不可能一帆风顺了。诸多疑问，比如涨工资、考评等等都去取决于校长的意愿。各种各样的忧虑似乎在前面等着他„„哈里什昌德拉国王失去了王位、后妃和子嗣，就因为他无论面对任何情形都只坚持说真话。

回到家，妻子一脸的愠怒。他清楚妻子还在因为早上的事生气。今天发生了两大灾难，塞克哈尔想。要是这样继续一个礼拜，可能一个朋友都没了。

第二天，他在教室接到校长的电话。他站了起来，心提到了嗓子眼。

“你的建议很有用。我已经结清了音乐老师的工资。音乐的事，这些天没人愿意告诉我真话。我一把年纪的人，干么还瞎折腾呢。谢谢你。对了，试卷批得怎么样了？” “你给了我十天时间的，校长。十天批好。”

“噢，我重新考虑过了。明天必须给我送过来„„”一天批完一百份试卷！这意味着要通宵不能睡觉！“再宽限几天吧，校长„„”

“不行。明天务必给我送来。记住，每份试卷都必须一丝不苟的批改。”

“遵命，校长，”赛哈克尔回答，觉得通宵批完一百份试卷就是为这次奢侈的真心话实验而付出的小小代价。

Unit 3 1在普利茅斯湾有一个迷人的年轻女人名叫哈丽特magnis航海的小镇。她有一个痴迷。她想要一个孩子为她的丈夫。地球上所有的东西，她想要一个孩子李察。但她不能有一个。2强迫观念驱使人去做各种奇怪的事情。哈丽特magnis的痴迷使她犯了一个在历史上最奇怪的犯罪。

3李察是英国皇家海军的一名炮手。甚至尽管他在两或三年在一片海，家里只有几天时间，哈里特爱他深深地和她的悲惨的失败给了他一个孩子，她经常在。更糟糕的是，她担心她的丈夫会在他的旅行中找到一些其他的女人，一个能给他什么，她将永远离开她。4但这一天，当她给她的丈夫写信时，她说：“我亲爱的，上帝终于对我们微笑了！我终于和孩子在一起了！你回家的时候，我们的孩子将被出世，你将你的父亲总是wante4d它是。”密封在一个信封里的信，她解决它的下一个港口，她丈夫的船会触及，她把它带到邮局。5只有一件事是错误的。哈丽特没有怀孕。她对她的丈夫撒谎了一个原因。她的信将在圣诞节到达他。她想让他快乐！月过去了。从她出走的丈夫寄来的一封信。那孩子来了吗？是男孩还是女孩？ 6她现在告诉他真相，这将拯救哈丽特，但她不能那样做。这会伤害他太多。所以她说孩子已经来了，这是一个男孩。当她丈夫回家的时候她会做什么，想看看他的儿子。哈丽特显然不知道。她很担心这是一个伟大的交易，那么当她得知她丈夫的船在几天内回家时，她就很担心了。

7李察的船来了，哈丽特冲到朴茨茅斯去见他。“我的儿子在哪里？“他喊道。哈丽特思维速度快。“哦，亲爱的，”她说。“我没想到你这么快。医生觉得海边的空气对他不好，所以我把他留在他的祖父母在苏塞克斯郡。”

8她清楚地知道，李察会在港口只有几天时间，没有足够长的时间让他去苏塞克斯。所以她是安全的时间是。下次他回家时，她还有另一个借口。下一次，还有另一个。但他越来越怀疑。他没有发现他根本没有孩子。他只怀疑她藏了孩子，因为那是另一个人的，所以他就把律法放在哈丽特。下一次他回家时，他会看到他的儿子----没有任何理由会被接受。9可怜的哈丽特！她的谎言让她变成了真正的深水。她succe4eded欺骗了他三年，但现在她知道她必须产生一个三岁的男孩看起来像李察，或者把真相给他。于是哈丽特踏上了一个奇妙的计划。她会偷一个孩子。有没有可能找到只是她想在戈斯波特小镇，所以她去伦敦。在那里，一天又一天，她走过的街道寻找她有孩子。同时，查尔斯夫人去了伦敦的一个同事眼前的医生，她带着她的两个孩子：一个小女孩，玛丽，五，和一个男孩，托马斯，三。当她到医生的办公室，她让孩子们在水果店楼下。杂货店老板的妻子，玛丽考克斯，答应去看他们。

10十五分钟后，哈丽特来了，在门口停了一下。她停了下来，盯着小托马斯德洛。令人难以置信的是，孩子不仅是合适的年龄，但他却像极了李察magnis！五分钟后玛丽考克斯发现男孩失踪了。警方被通知。一个全国性的搜索开始，传单遍布全国。早在戈斯波特，哈丽特骄傲地把小托马斯去朴茨茅斯看他爸爸的船来了。李察是多么高兴！一个儿子！最后！在他离开的日子里，他生活在狂喜中，从未梦想过真相。然后他又出海了，还不知道。但他离开后，哈里特变得恐慌，尤其是当邻居们开始提问关于她的“孩子”，甚至更多，所以当通缉告示出现在当地邮局的突然出现。充满了恐惧和悔恨，现在，她带着小托马斯同事回到伦敦，离开了他在警察局前面逃走了。然后她坐下来给她的丈夫写了一封长信，告诉他真相。在适当的时候，这封信是交给李察的船，但不是给他。在他的焦虑再次见到他的儿子，李察跳船，擅离职守（擅离职守）。他的妻子的信，承认一切，被交付给船长，而不是李察。认为它可能会提供一些线索，李察的缺席，他打开它。

11哈丽特magnis被捕并接受审判在汉普郡巡回审判。但法官判定，由于在新罕布什尔州没有犯下的罪行，法院没有管辖权。所以哈丽特被释放了，再也没有尝试过。法官可能比任何人都更了解一点。他自己的妻子也无法忍受孩子。她也有一个痴迷。但她却犯了自杀，而不是偷别人的孩子。

Unit 4 我对姑祖母史提菲娜·鲁斯向来心存敬畏。事实上，我们小时候显然都很畏惧她。她不跟家里人住一起，情愿孤零零一个人住在乡间的小屋里，也不愿住在舒适但有些喧闹的家里---我们长大的地方，这一点更是增强了我们对她原本就有的敬畏之情。她从来不拥抱我们。只是打个招呼，然后用她那美丽却冰凉的手牵着我们热乎乎的小手，她手背上青筋突起，似乎要撑破那脆弱的皮肤。随着年事渐长，我惊奇地发现，居然对这位冷漠的姑祖母产生了十足的好感。直到今天，我依然不知道当时出于什么莫名的冲动，竟让带着乔治去见她，还告诉她我们订婚的事，当然之前我可任何人都没告诉过。让我感到意外的是，她十分的欣喜。

“是英国人啊，”她惊呼。“真是太棒了，太棒了。你，”她转向乔治，“你要在这里安家吗？不打算再回英国了吗？”

听到乔治已在我们农场附近也购置一个农场，准备定居在南非时，她似乎松了口气，变得欢快起来，和乔治拉闲聊起来。

她对我的爱情还是忧心忡忡，总问一些看似奇怪的问题，隐约觉得她似乎在担心会有什么破坏这桩婚姻的事情发生。让我猝不及防的是，当我向她提起乔治考虑在结婚前临时返回英国一趟时，她突然情绪失控。“绝不能让他回去，”她喊道。“伊娜，你千万不能让他回去。答应我一定要阻止他。”她浑身发抖。我使出浑身解数来安慰她，她看起来还是那么疲惫、脸色苍白。我说服她回房间休息，答应明天回来看她。

第二天再来时，看到她坐在屋前的门廊上。她显得如此孤独和悲凉，那是我第一次感到疑惑，为何没有男人愿意娶她，照顾她，爱怜她呢。母亲曾告诉过我，姑祖母年轻时出落得楚楚动人，现如今除了那双褐色的眸子还残留着曾经的风韵外，昔日的美貌早已不见了踪影。尽管如此，她还是那么娇小玲珑、惹人爱怜，凡是男人见了，都难免心生怜香惜玉之情。她欲言又止，似乎不知从何说起。接着她仿佛又在心底振作了起来。“你肯定在纳闷，”她说，“为什么我听说乔治要离开你回英国会很难过。我老了，或许老了就会胡思乱想，可我必须告诉你我的爱情故事，听完后你再来决定让未婚夫在结婚前离开究竟是不是个明智之举。”

第一次邂逅理查德·维斯顿时我还是一个少女。他是英国人，借宿在附近农场的范·伦斯堡家里，离我家有四五英里远。理查德身体虚弱，因为心肺功能不好，医生送他到南非，希望这里干燥空气能治好他。他是范·伦斯堡家孩子们的家庭教师，我比那些孩子年长一些，可经常跟他们一起玩。理查德仅仅以此为乐，并非为了赚钱。

我们虽然一见钟情，但直到我十八岁生日那晚才相互倾诉衷肠。所有的亲朋好友都来赴会，那晚我们在谷仓铺上一条宽大的旧地毯，在上面翩翩起舞。理查德和范·伦斯堡一家一起过来，我们一有机会就斗胆共舞，实际上机会并不多，因为我父亲讨厌在南非的外国人。事实上，他曾一度跟范·伦斯堡家发生过口角，起因就是他们留宿了理查德。后来父亲渐渐接受了事实，尽管始终心有芥蒂，对这位英国人也还总是客客气气的。

那是我一生中最快乐的一个生日，因为理查德在跳舞的间歇时间，把我叫到外面，就在那个清凉宜人、月光皎洁的夜幕中，在漫天星斗的注视下，他向我表达了爱意，并向我求婚。我当然答应了他，当时我早被幸福冲昏了头脑，根本没有考虑父母会怎么想，或者根本什么也没有想。有一天，理查德没有出现在约定的地方。我很失落但并不惊奇，因为有太多的事情可能发生，导致我们不能如期赴约。我想下次拜访范·伦斯堡家时，我就可以知道他究竟为何爽约，也可以继续约定以后的幽会„„

“于是当父亲问我是否愿意一起驱车前往德里方丹时，我高兴极了。”然而，当我们到达范·伦斯堡家，坐在门廊里喝咖啡时，却听说理查德已匆匆离开，回到英国去了。他父亲死了，他作为继承人必须回去料理遗产。

“那天的事我大多不记得了，只记得太阳似乎变得暗淡无光，田野也风采尽失，没了往日欣欣向荣的景象，尽是惨淡和荒凉之感，萧瑟凄凉得跟冬天或大旱时一样。那天午后的晚些时候，霍但托特族的小牧童詹杰交给我一封信，说是英国老爷留给我的。那是我收到的唯一一封情书，让我的所有的心酸和悲伤归于平静，也是我最最接近幸福的感觉。我知道理查德依然爱我，不管怎样，有了这封信在，就算他在英国，我不得不留在农场，我感觉我们也始终未曾分开过。我现在还保留着这封信，尽管已经年老体衰，这封信还能给我以希望和勇气。”

“姑祖母，这封情书肯定写的很精彩吧，”我说。老太太从遥远的爱情美梦中回过神来。“也许吧，”她说，犹豫了一下，“也许，亲爱的，你想看看那封信吗？”

“我乐意之极，姑祖母，”我轻声回答。

她立即起身，疾步走进小屋，像个急匆匆的少女。她回来时，递给我一封信，由于天长日久，信封早已褪色发黄，边角也已磨损，似乎是经受过无数次的抚摸。我正要打开时，却发现封印完好如初。

“拆开，拆开，”姑祖母催促道，声音颤抖。我揭下封印，念了起来。

严格来说，这算不上是一封情书，实际上是几页安排详尽的逃跑指南，指导“我挚爱的菲娜”如何逃脱父亲的监视，趁夜黑逃离家门到浅滩，詹杰会备好马匹跟她碰头，然后将她驮到史密斯多普，在那里投靠“我的至交亨利·威尔森”，他会出钱安排她追随爱人的足迹到达开普敦，经此前往英国。“在英国，亲爱的，我们立刻结为夫妻。但是，我的挚爱，假如你不确信自己能在异国他乡与我一道生活，就不要采取这个重大行动，因为我爱你至深，不愿你经受一丝的不快。倘若你不能前往，或者我未能收到你的回信，我就会知道，你远离自己深爱的国家和亲人是无法得到幸福的。然而，倘若你觉得还可以坚守承诺，但由于胆怯不敢只身面对前往英国的跋涉，就回信给我。我会想方设法回来迎娶我的新娘。”

我没有再念下去。

“可是，姑祖母！”我声音急促地问道。“为什么„„为什么„„”

老太太迫注视着我，因迫切想知道下文而浑身颤抖，她面颊绯红，双目神采奕奕充满期待。“大声念，亲爱的，”她说。“一字一句我都要听。我当时找不到可以信赖的人„„南非的外国人在我年轻的那段岁月是被人深恶痛绝的„„我不敢找人帮忙。” “可是，姑祖母，他信里写的这些你难道都不知道吗”

老太太低下了头，像个不小心做了错事的孩子一样，既不安又羞愧。

“不知道，亲爱的，”她回答，声音极其微弱。“你知道的，我从来没有读过书呀。”

Unit 5

外面天还黑着，我的呼吸像漂浮在寒冷的空气寒冷的云。我为自己感到难过。有一个原因，他们称之为“老鼠赛跑。

一天又一天，同一个古老的东西。在阳光下的房子。一个半小时的通勤到办公室。八到九个小时的工作，然后在同一个通勤回家，仍然是黑暗的外部。短短的几天，我就纳闷：白天太阳出来了吗？我不确定了，如果是，我一定错过了。

我走到火车站，在那个凄凉的星期一早晨。我的一个星期在我面前像一个深黑色的洞。本周可能是新的，但我感觉老和破旧的。短暂的周末休息还不提供救济，洗衣，堆积起来，不提超市、干洗店和无数其他跑腿，吃到什么被认为是我们的家人在一起的时间。我们几乎没有机会的时候还没定闹钟，本周开始再次很快地玩拼字游戏。火车又晚点了。任何尝试放松的想法很快被记忆的堆的纸坐在我的桌子上。这么多的事，和天是从来没有足够长的时间。我调整了我周围的人群开始精神通过排序的优先级就招手，当我到达办公室。电子邮件和传真，报告和会议。这一天会很充实，因为这是本周初的开始。我畏缩了一下，我常常想起我把事情“下周直到。“嗯，“下周”在这里。自注：思考明天的事情”“可能曾为斯嘉丽奥哈拉，但它只创造了我的悲伤。

转移人群把我带到了那一刻。火车进站了，而部队的乘客是一个头脑：抢一个空座位在任何费用。男女机会平等的推动者，推动彼此的平台边缘。即使我让自己被横扫，我也决心抓住第一个可用的座位，我可以找到。我紧紧抓住我的公文包，把我的公文包推到了其中，并获得了我的奖品。坐在一些文书工作上，我会得到一个跳跃，也许是一个备忘录或2个。任何一开始都会有帮助。

这是我的生活恶化到什么？我的一天最精彩的是，我在火车上坐了一个座位吗？当然，我的目标是更大的比。我们工作很辛苦，我丈夫和我。我们的目标是还清房贷，并预留储蓄以备退休。我们几乎都在那里。只是一年或两年，我模仿超人，这样我就可以放松。仅仅一两年。..那是当我看到她。那年轻的女人看上去很熟悉。我在火车站看到她了，还是我只是认出了她脸上的表情？在一个座位上再次错过了反映辞职的样子。这一看，说：“我没有精力去做这件事。”我知道她是怎样的感觉，但我也知道我有工作要做。备忘录回答，要写报告。我有一个座位，她没有。没有人说生活将是公平的。

但有更多的只是她的脸。即使在她那笨重的外套，我也能看到她在等一个孩子。她怀孕是相当远，这是她所有能做的去抓住金属棒的列车突然陷入运动。我感到一阵内疚，然后又与自己争辩。火车上肯定有足够多的人能看到她的情况。骑士还没死，是吗？但是没有人移动。好像每个人都在火车上被刻意避免这个年轻女人的角度为他们埋葬他们的头在他们的报纸，或假装全神贯注于他们的谈话。

我把备忘录和法律垫在我的公文包里，站了起来，示意让她注意。工作可以等待。这肯定是够了，和一个或两个以上的备忘录也不会有多大的差异，在我的日程安排。如果我有什么想法，他们都被她脸上的表情抹去。一种新的看--救济和感恩。话不需要被交换，但是当她说谢谢时，我意识到，这小小的仁慈对我来说就像是对她一样。一个提醒，即使我是一个大鼠比赛的一部分，我没有成为一个大鼠。

这仍然是星期一早晨，但新兴的日出告诉我，这将是一个美好的一天。

Unit 6

1一个真正幸福婚姻的基础是什么？浪漫？沟通？真正的爱情？这当然不是钱，对吗？

2大多数人都会同意钱不是一个好的婚姻，但根据婚姻顾问，这无疑是一个坏的因素。英国关系咨询服务发现，在1998次调查中，钱是在英国夫妇之间的争论的头号原因之一。我们的顾问认为，钱是一个在许多离婚的主要因素。它不只是缺乏资金，导致问题。3信不信你对金钱的态度比你拥有多少重要。也许这并不浪漫，但离婚50%次婚姻，往往由于财政困难，我们是不是该停在耳边甜言蜜语，开始关于钱的一些直接对话？

4对许多人来说，金钱是最后一个伟大的禁忌主题。“我们在结婚前从来没有谈过钱，”简，一位结婚五年的老师告诉我们。“我甚至不知道戴夫是怎么做的。我们在一起的时候，我们当然不会谈论谁会付帐单，或者任何类似的东西，“戴夫同意：”这似乎不重要，谈论金钱。我从来没有想过。”

5这些态度并不罕见，人们很少谈论金钱。

6浪漫的爱情神话告诉我们，我们会遇到一个人，结婚，并过着幸福的生活。童话里没有什么能告诉我们如何讨论我们的财务，甚至是我们需要的。但是你的伴侣对金钱的态度可能是你需要了解的最重要的事情之一。7每个人都对金钱有着独特的态度。有些人喜欢它可以买他们，也有人认为它是安全的来源。有些人担心他们永远不会有足够的，其他人会讨厌是有钱人。你对钱的态度取决于很多东西：怎么是你带来了，多少钱，你用有，是否你努力工作你钱或支付你所喜欢做的事情。甚至你的人生观会影响你对金钱的影响。对金钱的态度是没有对错的，每一个都是有效的。8他们结婚后，戴夫和简发现他们对金钱有很大的不同看法。“他是一个富豪，我是一个屏幕保护程序，”简说。“起初，这是非常令人沮丧的，当他在本月结束时，他在我和我的借贷，我们仍然得到了大量的战斗。”

9这是一个很常见的问题。大多数情侣在一起讨论他们的目标和梦想，但他们不谈论他们的财务态度。他们谈论有关，他们会喜欢生活，那种职业他们想要的，有多少孩子他们会有，等共享相同的人生目标是什么带来了许多夫妻在一起，许多人花了很多时间（尤其是当约会或结婚第一）讨论他们的希望和梦想。

10然而，许多人不做的事，就是计划如何实现他们的目标。他们知道他们在哪里是一对夫妇，但他们没有路线图的最短或最可靠的路线，他们的梦想。

11这是所有浪漫谈钱来。不仅你有多少，而且你会花多少钱，节省和投资。

12安吉拉，一位35岁的三岁的母亲告诉我们，“钱不是一个问题，我们直到孩子出生。然后我突然发现我们一直在战斗。我的丈夫会花100美元一个晚上出去与朋友，虽然它从来没有困扰我之前突然把我逼疯了。”安吉拉的丈夫看不见的问题；他们共同工作，他能买得起他的慷慨。安吉拉解释道：“那么，有一天我们开始谈论我们对未来的希望，这是一个灯泡似乎是为我的丈夫。我们一直想送我们的孩子去上大学，当我说自己的支出是危及他似乎明白为什么我生气了。它并没有停止所有的战斗，但它帮助。

13一次，安吉拉的丈夫发现了她为什么如此关注自己的花销，他发现很容易尝试去控制它。他们已经同意把所有的孩子送上大学，但他们从来没有谈论过他们是如何实现的。作为一个富豪安吉拉的丈夫没有看到招待他的朋友晚上出来一个问题，而作为一个自然保护安吉拉担心未来和孩子的大学基金。

14直到他们说，谁都不理解对方的态度。了解你的合作伙伴的态度，金钱是避免纠纷的关键。一个很好的问题是问你的伴侣是：“你会做什么，如果你赢得了彩票？“他们会花很多钱吗？他们会把所有的一切，把它投入安全的投资和生活的兴趣？他们会花一些钱存一些吗？你会给他们的答案是什么？

15好吧，这样你就不可能赢得彩票。但是，一旦你有了关于配偶的经济人格的知识，你就可以更好地为婚姻生活中的所有这些问题提供一天的钱。

16如果你的伴侣的财务风格和你的不同？这并不是说关系是注定的。远离它。知道你们两个人如何看待金钱，为什么会有助于你们做出必要的妥协来阻止它的战斗。没有任何关系是一样的，但也有一些基本的步骤，每个人都可以采取帮助赚钱少的问题。17第一：决定你的优先顺序是什么。18这不是关于制作一个预算，虽然你需要一个如果你是管理你的财务。这是关于你的梦想，你的生活愿望。你真的想活吗？让自己的梦想，但也现实。这是关于做出选择。你想每年都去度假还是一辆较新的汽车？你想拥有更大的房子，或者更多的可支配收入吗？找到一些共同点，你的梦想碰撞。这是你的财务目标作为一对夫妇。19二：决定如何满足你的目标。

20当我们听到安吉拉，有些软弱无力，像“我们必须拯救”真的不清楚。储蓄对不同的人意味着不同的东西。一个自然的人可能会认为储蓄意味着把钱会在月底离开；一个程序可能包括杂货店为了节省更多的开支。如果您正在保存，设置一个具体的和合理的数额，您可以在。决定如何投资你的储蓄和谁将管理的钱。你也许想在这里得到财务上的建议，但关键是你要讨论它。

21第三：决定如何处理日常财务。

22谁来平衡支票簿，支付账单，并做出投资决策？而最大的每一个都可以在没有咨询的同时又能用什么呢？

23第四：你会有联合或单独的账户吗？

24对许多夫妻来说，有单独的户口和三分之一的户口是一种方法。另一些人则更倾向于一个共同账户，每个人都可以在他们认为合适的支出上花钱。有许多不同的方式来组织你的财务，但重要的是，每个合作伙伴都有一些钱，他们可以自由地花钱，因为他们认为合适的。这就避免了无数的争论。

25这四个技巧只是你理财计划的开始。最重要的是谈论金钱和你对它的态度。金钱不是关于干的财务计划，它是关于你将如何生活你的生活，实现你的梦想，并保持在一个快乐的关系。

26还有，别以为钱是浪漫的？也许这不是，但这是一个比离婚更浪漫的浪漫，而这就是忽略你的钱的问题可以帮助你。
