John is a famous writer now. But he said he was not a good student when he was young. He was often late for 1 and didn’t like doing his homework.

One day the teacher 2 the students a question, “When Jack was ten years old, 3 brother Bob was twenty, Jack is fifteen now and how old is his brother Bob?” John said, “That’s easy. Bob is twice as old as Jack, so he is now thirty.”
Another time, the 4 in a science class asked, “When it thunders (打雷), why do we always see the light before we 5 the sound?”
“But, Miss,” said John quickly, “don’t you know our eyes are in front of our ears?”

What is inside a museum? Some museums have old cars and airplanes. 3 museums have pictures and statues (雕像). Others have rocks and old bones. One museum even has a coal mine inside! Many cities have museums. Some very small towns have museums, 4. Indianapolis(印第安纳波利斯) has a children’s museum. Children do not have to pay to get in. Children go to the museum often. They like to look at the dinosaur bones. They see a white bear ten feet tall. They go inside an old log cabin (小木屋). On Saturday, Indianapolis children can 5 talks about animals and trees. They see movies.
We know that trees are useful in our everyday life. They give us many things, such as wood, oxygen, rubber, medicines and many other things. They can 1 tell us a lot about our climate. The following are the reasons. If you cut across a tree, you can see that it has many rings. Most trees grow one new ring 2 year. Because of the reason, we know how old a tree is. A tree over a hundred years old means that it has more than a hundred 3. When the climate is dry or very cold, the trees do not grow very much and their rings are usually thin. When it is wet and warm, the rings are much thicker. If the rings are suddenly very thin or suddenly very thick, this means that the 4 changed suddenly. If we look at the rings on this tree, we can learn about the climate for a hundred years. We can see 5 our climate is changing today.

As she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas gift for her father. She wished that he were as easy to please as her mother, who was 1 satisfied with perfume. Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most unhappy job. People stepped on your feet, pushed you with their shoulders and almost knocked you over in their hurry in order to 2 something cheap ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on show. “They are 3 silk,” the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to persuade her to buy one. But Edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the shapes were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father 4 smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was certainly to please him.
When she got home, with her small but well-chosen present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already at table. Her mother was in great 5. “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking,” she told her daughter happily. Edith was so surprised that she could not say a single word.

“Wait a moment,” the soldier answered, and he began to put his hand in his 4 “I’ll see whether I can help you.”
“Don’t you know how to speak to an officer?” the young officer said angrily “Now let’s 5 again, Can you change the money for me?”
“No, sir,” the old soldier answered quickly.
Jody was ten years old when he decided he needed a job. He thought it might be fun to raise worms. He could sell them to farmers and people who fished. So in 1, he bought many worms. But that winter the cold weather killed all the worms because he had not put them in a warm place.

Water is the most important of all the things we eat and 1. Not many people understand this, but it’s quite 2. The human body can go without food for a long time, yet two or three days without water can usually make people die.
Many people don’t know how 3 water the human body needs to work well, and many people do not drink enough,___4___in hot weather. Our body is mostly water about 67%–75%. If we don’t have enough, we’ll feel 5 and many will get ill. So, you know, how important the water is to us all.
Water is very important to living things. Without water there can be 1 life on earth. All animals and plants need water. Man need water, too. We need water to drink, to cook our food and to clean 2.
Water 3 almost everywhere. Even in the driest part of the would there is some water in the air. You can not see it or feel it when it is part of the air. The water 4 seas and rivers is a liquid. The water in the air is not a liquid but a gas.
Clouds are made of water. They may _5 made of very small drops of water. Water, you have found, is very useful, so we must save water.
Scientists hope that if we can discover 1 the brain works, the better use we will be able to put it to. For example, how do we learn language? Man differs most from all the animals in his ability to learn and use language 2 we still do not know exactly how this is done. Some children learn to speak and read and write when they are very young compared to 3 children. But scientists are not sure why this happens. They are trying to find out 4 there is something about the way we teach language to children which in fact prevents children 5 learning sooner.

English 4 be difficult, but it is very useful. It is a bridge to so much knowledge. If you know English, you’ll find you can 5 the world better, so we should study it hard.
Mike was a small boy, and he hated soap and water. Three or four times every day his mother said to him, “Mike, your hands are very 1 again. Go and wash them.” But Mike never really washed them well. He only put his hands in the water for a few seconds and then took them 2 again.
Mike’s uncle and aunt lived in another city. One day they came to stay with Mike’s parents, and they brought their small son, Ted, with them. Ted was a year 3 than Mike, and he didn’t like soap and water either.
The boys sat with their parents 4 a few minutes, but then they went outside. When they were alone, Mike looked at Ted’s hands and then said proudly, “My hands are dirtier than 5.”
“Of course they are,” Ted answered angrily. “You’re a year older than I am.”
A rich American went into a shop in London. He wanted very much to get a nice-looking watch. He saw a watch and liked it so much that he decided to buy it.

His friend 4 a look at the watch and started to shout immediately. He said, “You are a fool. This watch is worth only ten dollars. I’m ___5___the shop owner and the young man planned all this together.”
Man has always wanted to fly. Even as long as eight hundred years ago, an Englishman had tried. He made a pair of 1 from chicken feathers and fixed them to his shoulders. Then he jumped from a tall building. As you can imagine, he did not fly very far. 2, he fell to the ground and broke several bones. The first real attempt at flying took place in France in 1783. The two Mongolian brothers knew that hot air rose. If they could fill a large balloon with hot air, they thought it would rise into the air and 3. They were right. They made a very large hot air balloon of cloth and paper. It measured ten meters in diameter. They filled it with hot air and the balloon got two hundred meters into the air. It fell to earth about three kilometers 4.
At the next attempt, they arranged for a balloon to carry passengers. We do not know what the passengers felt about the trip as they were a cock, a duck, and a sheep. But we 5 know that the trip lasted eight minutes and the animals landed safely.
An old man died and left his son a lot of money. But the son was a foolish young man, and he quickly spent 1 money, so that he had 2 left. Of course, when that happened, all his friends left him. When he was quite poor and alone, he went to see Nasreddin, who was a kind, clever old man and often helped people when they had troubles.
“My money has finished and my friends have gone,” said the young man. “What will 3 to me now?”
“Don’t 4, young man,” answered Nasreddin. “Everything will soon be all right again. Wait, and you will soon feel much happier.”
The young man was very glad. “Am I going to get rich again then?”
“No, I 5 mean that,” said the old man. “I meant that you would soon get used to being poor and having no friends.”
Being not far from the sea, London is famous 1 its fogs. The worst of them happened on December 4,1952. All movement in the town came to a stop. It was almost impossible to drive or ride in anything. The streets which led into the center were filled with 2 that moved two miles an hour. Soon, however, the traffic was stopped. Being left by their drivers, the buses and cars stood empty in the streets. Many who usually travel by bus took underground (地铁). But there were 3 many people there that the gates had to be closed. Being caught in the fog, people felt their way along the walls of houses with one hand, while they put out 4 in front of them so as not to knock against something or somebody.
At the Opera House (大歌剧院) they got through the first act of La Traviata before so much fog had spread into the building that the 5 could not see the conductor (乐队指挥).
It was a terrible fog, indeed, and as many as 4,000 people in London lost their lives.
Mumu is a Chinese boy. But now he___1__in the UK. He lives and _2 with Mr and Mrs Green in London. They are very nice to him. But they like different food.

From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and weekends they are free and 1 themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies, others take part in sports. This is decided by their own interests.
There are many different ways to spend our free time. Almost everyone has some kind of 2. It may be something from colleting stamps to making model planes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money, others are valuable only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several 3 dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty-cent piece which cost him $250! He was very happy about this collection and thought the price was all right. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects match boxes. He has almost 600 kinds of them, but I wonder 4 they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are quite valuable. 5 makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.
That’s what a hobby means, I think. It is something we like to do in our free time just for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.
The hippopotamus(河马), or hippo, lives in the hot part of Africa. 1 humans, dogs, and whales, it is a mammal(哺乳动物. That is, its babies are born alive, and they drink milk from the mother’s body.
The hippopotamus is a large grey animal with a big head and mouth. It 2 four tons, or about 4,000 kilograms. Its stomach is seven meters long, and it eats only plants. It is a mammal, but it spends a lot of time in the water.
During the day, it sleeps beside a river or a lake. Sometimes it wakes up. Then it goes under the water to get some 3 for food and never catches fish or hunts other animals. It can close its nose and stay under water for ten minutes. Its ears, eyes, and nose are high up on its head. It can stay with its body under the water and only its ears, eyes, and nose above the water. Then it can breathe the air.
At night, the hippo walks on the nearby land and looks for food. It never goes very 4 the water.
A baby hippo often stands on its mother’s 5– the part of the body between the neck and legs. The mother looks for food underwater. The baby rides with a sure footing on her mother above the water.
While I was waiting to enter university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job wanted at a school about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no 21 of teaching my chances of getting the job were slight.
However, three days later, a letter arrived, calling me to Croydon for a meeting with the headmaster. It was clearly the headmaster himself 22 open the door. He was short and round.
“The school,” he said, “is made up of one class of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.” I should have to teach all the subjects except art, which he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into three groups and teach them in turn at three different 23. And I was disappointed at the thought of teaching maths, a subject at which I wasn’t very good at school. Worse perhaps was the idea of 24 to teach them on Saturday afternoon because most of my friends would be enjoying themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary, he got up to his 5. “Now,” he said, “you’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.”

There are many people in the world now. There will be a lot more people next century. The earth will be very crowded and there will be a little room for each person. Maybe there will only be 1 room on the earth 600 years later. That will be a very serious problem.
So man is 2 of a way to solve the problem.
The moon is the satellite of the earth. Maybe man will go to stay on the moon one day. But there 3 no air, no plants, no life there. So scientists are doing experiment in many ways. They have to solve many problems 4 man can live on the moon. I’m sure our dream will 5 in the next century.

Do you often visit museums? Museums are often full 1 interesting and beautiful things, but in most museums you can only 2 the thing there. You can’t touch them.

For example, at the Boston Children’s Museum, young people can use computers and other modern machines. They can 4 make movies and play games there. In this kind of museums children are not bored. They can 5 a lot from the museum.

Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect 1 the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human 2 quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices 3.
Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s 4 the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.
This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people 5 to satisfy both body and soul.

I chose scientific subjects. “1, scientists will earn a lot of money,” my parents said. For three years I tried to learn physics and chemistry, but in the 2 I decided that I would never be a scientist. It was a long time before I told my parents that I wasn’t happy at school. So my father said, “Well, the best thing to do now is to look for a job.”
I talked about it with my friends Frank and Lesley. Neither of them could suggest anything, but they promised that they would ask their friends. A few days later 3 I was still in bed, someone phoned, “Is that Miss Jenkins?” a man’s voice asked. “I know your hobby is photography and I’ve got a job that might interest you in my clothes factory. My name is Mr. Thomson.” I decided to see him. I was so excited that I almost forgot 4 goodbye to my mother.
I arrived a bit early and when Mr. Thomson came he asked me if I had been waiting a long time. I replied, “No, not long.” After talking to me for about 20 minutes he offered me a job - not as a photographer 5 a model!

It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get education. However, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The 1 between schooling and education suggested by this is important.
Education is endless, compared with schooling. Education knows no edges. It can take place 2, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the 3 learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of learning out of class. Though the experience of schooling can be known in advance, education quite often produces surprises. A chance talking with a foreigner may lead to a person to discover how 4 he knows of another country. People obtain education from babies on. Education, then, is a very 5 and unlimited term. It is lifelong experience that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one’s entire life.

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, inter-office communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 2 readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never get over them. The main problem 3 in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have little meaning until they are strung(连成) together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 4, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing(倒退) to reread words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 5 down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding(用言语表达) each word either orally or mentally as one reads.

Most people believe we must not drink sea water. They believe that if we do, we shall be very ill because of all the salt in the water. A doctor called Alain Bombard did not believe this. He thought that people 2 stay alive by drinking sea water and eating small fish, animals and plants from the sea. On 19 October, 1953, he set out in a small boat to 3 the Atlantic Ocean (大西洋). He did not take any food or water with him.
Every day Dr. Bombard drank just a little sea water. He also caught fish and they had water in them. He drank this water. He could not cook the fish, so he ate them 4 they were. He took small plants from the sea, which gave him more food.
Dr. Bombard became 5, tired and quite ill, but after 65 days at sea, he was still alive.

In the American family the husband and wife usually share important decision-making. When the children are old enough, they take part as well. Foreigners are often surprised by the permissiveness (宽容) of American parents. Children are often allowed to do pretty much 1 they wish without strict control by their parents. Children are encouraged to be 2 at an early age. Some people believe that American parents carry this freedom too far. Others think that a strong parental image would not suit American values. Because Americans emphasize the importance of independence, young people are expected to break away from their families by the time they have 3 their late teens or early twenties. This pattern of independence often raises serious problems for the aging parents of a small family. The average American is expected to live 4 the age of 70. The job-retirement age is usually 65. The children have left home, married, and 5 their own households. Often the major problem of many elderly couples is not economic, but they feel useless and lonely with neither an occupation nor a close family ties.

You may meet Americans who know very little about your country. If this 1 the case, be patient with them. Unfortunately, little is taught about the cultures or customs of other countries in America schools. The United States has always been separated from older countries by the vast oceans to the East and West of the country. As a 2 Americans have not become so familiar with different cultures and other ways of doing things as is often the case in older countries. If Americans try to help you 3 something that is very familiar to you, if they mistake your country for another of thousands of kilometers away, be patient with them. The United States has developed into a modern nation in a very short time 4 with many other countries------only about 300 years. Americans have been very busy with growth of the country, with building roads and cities, establishing free education for millions of children, and making inventions, discoveries, and developments to benefit the whole world. The Nation’s attention has been on the United States, not on the world, during most of this 5 period. It is only since World War Two (1939-1945) that Americans have been more interested in other parts of the World.
