嘿嘿，不知道你需要幾年級的
I』ve loved my mother』s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, ring her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. 「But the desk,」 she』d said again, 「it』s for Elizabeth. 」
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was 「too emotional(易動感情的)」. But she lived 「on the surface(表面)」.
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原諒) me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn』t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she』d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折疊) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

I worked for a short time as a cashier(出納員) at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable(有價值的) in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him 「no」. At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash(現金). He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. 「A reward(酬勞) for your honesty,」 he said and then turned and walked away.
Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone』s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.

In 1605, a scientist took a willow branch(柳枝) and planted it. He didn』t plant it in the ground, however. He planted it in a vase of soil(泥土). For the next five years, the scientist watered that willow carefully.
The willow grew and grew. Where did it get the food for its growth? To most people, this was an easy question. The willow plant, of course, took the food from the soil.
The scientist, however, wanted evidence(證據).If the willow took the food from the soil for its growth, then, as it grew and weighed more, the soil ought to weigh less. He weighed the willow branch before he planted it. It weighed five pounds. Then he weighed the soil. It weighed 200 pounds. After five years, he weighed the plant and the soil again. The willow tree weighed 169 pounds, but the soil weighed almost the same.
The result(結果) was surprising. Where did the 164 pounds come from?
After many investigations(調查), the scientist got the answer. He had given water to the willow, and the willow got its food from the water.
He was right, in a way. Today we know more about the question.
1. The scientist did the experiment in the sixteenth century.
2. Most people thought the plant got the food from the soil for its growth.
3. The soil in the vase weighed two hundred pounds.
4. The scientist found that the willow grew and weighed more and the soil weighed less.
5. The soil weighed 164 pounds after five years.
6. Now we know about the question as much as the scientist did.

Afternoon Tea
When related to afternoon tea, what would you think of? A cup of tea, a piece of cake and a good mood, what a good enjoyment! But do you know how comes the afternoon tea?
We should thank for a lady, who had created the custom of afternoon tea in 1840. She was Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford. At that time, people of upper class usually had supper at around 8 o』clock in the evening. But Anna began to feel hungry at round 4 in the afternoon. This had left her a good long time of 4 hours. Therefore, she told the servant to bring a tray of tea, bread, butter and cake to her room ring the late afternoon. It became a habit of hers. Soon, she invited her friends to join her.
Afternoon tea was liked by most women, because they then had reason to get together and kill the leisure time more meaningfully. After Anna』s launch of the afternoon tea, women of the rich did the same in their homes and it later became a fashionable social event, providing a place for people to meet new friends and get new information.
The traditional afternoon tea usually contains a teapot of tea, several teacups and cakes. English tea is mainly from India or Ceylon, which was originally transported by the East India Company.
Today, afternoon tea has been simplified because of the change of lifestyle. People use tea bags instead of tea leaves. Cakes are no longer as various and difficult as that of long time ago. They usually are some pieces of biscuits or cakes.
But if you want to experience a real English afternoon tea, I would advise you to go to Devonshire, where proces good cream and famous cream tea. The tea consists of hot and sweet tea served in china teacups and scones, strawberry jam as well as the fine clotted cream- the vital ingredient of cream tea. You may enjoy yourself for a whole afternoon.
1. When was the custom of afternoon tea created?
2. Why did Anna create the custom of afternoon tea?
Because she _______________ before having supper.
3. Why did most women like afternoon tea?
4. What does the traditional afternoon tea usually contain?
5. Does afternoon tea stay the same as before?
6. Where would the writer suggest he go if one wants to have a real English afternoon tea?
7. What do you think of Anna?
Key:
1. In 1840.
2. always felt hungry
3. Because they had reason to get together and kill the leisure time more meaningfully.
4. It usually contains a teapot of tea, several teacups and cakes.
5. No, it doesn』t.
6. He should go to Devonshire.
7. Any possible answers.

5.The Komodo lizard is the world's largest lizard(蜥蜴). It was not discovered until this century and was named only in 1921. It was formerly found on three Indonesian islands: Komodo, Rintja and Flores. By the 1930's, in spite of government protection, the population of this great lizard had been reced to a few hundred. It was, however, still found on the three main islands and there were still lizards of over 4 metres in length. By 1963, after a period of only fifty years since its discovery, the entire population was based on Komodo. It is now unusual to see one as long as 3 metres. The lizard's normal food consists mainly of wild goats and pigs, animals which the islanders also hunt. This, of course, means that the lizard often gets too little to eat. It will certainly die out soon its hunting and breeding(繁殖) grounds are protected more effectively.
6.At the Barber's Shop(理發店)
Jack went to a barber's shop and had his hair cut, but when he came out, he
was not happy with the result(結果). When his friend Bob saw him, he laughed
and said, "What has happened to your hair,Jack?"
Jack said, "I tried a new barber's shop today, because I wasn't quite satisfied
with my old one, but this one seems even worse."
Bob agreed(同意). "Yes, I think you're right, Jack. Now I'll tell you what
to do when you go into a barber's shop next time: look at all the barber's hair,
find out whose hair looks worst, and then go straight to him."
"Why shall I go to him?" Jack asked. "But that would be foolish!"
"Oh, no, it wouldn't," answered Bob. "Who cut that man's hair? Just think
it. He couldn't cut it himself, could he? Another of the barbers cut it. So
you know he can't be the worst barber."
7.Mr Perkin's New Car
Mr Perkin stood at the bus-stop and watched the cars go by. Many of the cars
were new Beta 400s, and most of them were yellow. Mr Perkin always wore the
same clothes as other men, ate the same food as other people, and did the same
things after work, and at the end of the week, Mr Perkin did not like to be
different.
The following week, Mr Perkin bought a new, bright yellow Beta 400s. He was
satisfied with it, and drove to work in it the very next day. He was even more
satisfied with his new car, when he saw all the other Beta 400s, in front, behind,
and on both sides of him.
Mr Perkin parked(停車) his car in a big car-park(停車場) near his office,
and walked the rest of the way. But when he came back at five o'clock, there
were so many bright yellow Beta 400s in the car-park that he did not know which
car was his. He tried his key in some of the cars, but people passing by gave
him a look he didn't like. So he stopped.
Poor Mr Perkin had to wait nearly two hours until his was the only yellow
Beta 400s in the car-park.
8.A long time ago people thought that the sun went round the earth. In some
countries people even said that the sun was a god(神). They thought the god
drove across the sky each day on a golden horse. Now we know the earth goes
round the sun. It takes the earth a year to go all way round the sun. Today
men even know how far it is for the earth to go round the sun. They tell us
that the earth travels over a thousand miles a minute on its journey round the
sun.\$
The sun is really a star. It is much bigger than the earth and it is very
hot. Some people have been to the moon but we know that no one can ever go to
the sun. It is far too hot for people to live anywhere near it. The sun is three
hundred thousand times heavier than the earth and more than million times larger.\$
9.The Farmer, His Horse, and His son
Once there was an old farmer, with a horse which was almost as old as himself.
He set out one morning with his son to sell the horse before it died. Father
and son walked, because the farmer did not want the horse to be too tired.
They met two men on the road who said, "Why are you walking, farmer? You have
a horse, It's a long way to market(市場). "The farmer know that this was true,
so he rode on the horse, while his son walked.
Then they met two old women, "What are you doing up there, farmer? Can't you
see how tired boy is?" So the farmer got down, and his son rode instead.\$
Next, three old men stopped them, one said, "Why are you walking, farmer?
Get up, It's too hot for an old man like you to walk today," So the farmer got
up behind his son, and they rode on.
Some time later, a young woman passed them, "Why aren't you walking?" she
asked, "It isn't far to the market. Give your poor horse a rest."
So the farmer, and his son, got down once again. It is a fact that you cannot
please all the people all the time.
10.I Want to Be a Dustman
Tom was ten years old, and he was a very lazy boy, He didn't like doing any

1．Learning：A Lifelong Career【學習：一生的事業】
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
學習之於心靈，就像食物之於身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發達。同樣地，我們應該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，並擴充我們的智力容量。不斷的學習提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續的學習是在信息時代中跟時代並駕齊驅的最穩當的方法，也是在變動的世代中成功的可靠保證。
一旦學習停止，單調貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地，學習應該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由於世界一直快速地在變動，只要學習停頓數日就將使人落後。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們人格的慾望。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業。
2．heavy shoolwork【課業繁重】
In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded alts. High should be allowed more time for play. Plying is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a rection of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.
我認為目前高中生的課業實在太重了，雖然說學生的確應當念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。娛樂並不如某些人所想的，是在浪費時間，它可以讓學生鍛煉身體，發揮被繁重課業扼殺的想像力。此外，繁重的課業加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。我並非主張廢除學校課業，但是我認為減輕目前繁重的課業對於學生和整個社會都是有益的。
3．Time【時間】
Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change.
Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what I』ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.
時光一去不復返，這是我上學期清楚學到的教訓。我浪費很多時間四處游盪，以致於我的成績開始退步。最後我終於了解到我必須有所作為；該是痛改前非的時候了。
現在我有一個明智運用時間的新方法。我已將鬧鍾早撥半小時，這將使我這一天的作息提前開始。我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時間記錄下來。回顧我所做的事情會啟發我如何重新安排我的時間。
4．Work and Play【工作與娛樂】
Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a ll boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.
What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical ecation class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.
工作與娛樂並不互相沖突，事實上，它們之間的關系還相輔相成。有句格言說：「整日工作而沒有休閑娛樂，會令人變得沉悶乏味。」被工作重擔壓得喘不過氣來的生活，將使你一事無成，因為你將對一成不變的例行公事感到厭煩。由另一方面來說，適度的娛樂活動能提供各種管道，來渲泄你被壓抑的情緒，減輕單調生活中的緊張與不悅。
放學之後，我最常做的休閑活動，便是慢跑與看電影。通常我並不特地撥出時間來做運動，但是我很重視學校的體育課。在操場上慢跑幾圈，無疑地可以減輕一天的壓力。在周末時，我都去看早場電影，享受視覺饗宴。如此一來，我將有如再生般的充沛活力，去面對下一星期的工作量。
5．My first Job【我的第一份工作】
My first job was at a cramming school. It was three years ago when I just graated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination. since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.
I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message. I worked eight hours a day, six days a week. The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well. The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.
我的第一份工作是在一家補習班做事。那是三年前我剛從國中畢業，考完聯考時的事了。既然我那整個夏天都閑著沒事，倒不如找份差事，嘗嘗獨立賺錢的快樂。
我負責接聽電話且紀錄留言的工作。我一天工作八小時，一星期工作六天。那份工作對我而言既不困難亦不沉重，所以我想我還滿稱職的。而最令人快樂的事大概莫過於花全部由自己賺來的錢了！
6．My Favorite Sports【我最喜愛的運動】
Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient. So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis. Table tennis is my favorite game. I play it almost every day.
Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action. It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin. Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money. Table-tennis is very moderate; it is not so rough as football. It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days. Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.
運動能幫助每一個人保持健康、快樂和有效率。所以我特別重視運動，特別是撞球，撞球是我最喜歡的運動。我幾乎每天玩。
撞球對我們而言，是一項理想的運動，因為它可以使我們全身運動，它可以增強我們的肌肉，擴張我們的肺部，促進血液循環，並且使肌膚產生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所費不多。撞球是相當溫和適中的，它不像足球那麼粗野。它是一種室內運動，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，撞球是我最喜愛的一種運動。
希望能對你有所幫助～～：）

But the teacher cried
The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled . His father knew it, but his grandma doted on him. He hardly left her side. And when he wanted anything, he either cried or threw a temper tantrum. Then came his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms.
When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door.
"Was school all right?" she asked, "Did you get along all right? did you cry?"
"Cry?" John asked. "No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!"

This is the Venus Fly-Trap. It has two special leaves, and each leaf has several hairs in the middle. If an insect touches one of these, the leaves start to shut together. The insect often tries to run away. But the plant moves more quickly than the insect. The victim(受害者) is trapped in a little prison. Soon it dies, and the plant graally absorbs (吸收) it.
Plants live the longest of all things on Earth. A Bristle Cone Pine in California is 4,700 years old, and is still alive－older than any written history.
Plants can be as small as one cell, like the millions of tiny plants in the seas. One of the smallest is the Lichen plant, which grows on stones. It is probably the plant which grows the most slowly. It can take a hundred years to grow a few centimeters.
But plant can also be as big as the Giant Red-wood. the world's most massive(大而重的) living thing. One tree in California is 84 m high and probably over two thousand tones in weight. No other type of tree grows higher than the Giant Redwood.
The Dead Horse Arum attracts(吸引) flies by looking and smelling like dead meat. Once they get inside the plant, it shuts a door, and keeps them prisoner for a night. During the night, it drops pollen(花粉) on them. It releases(釋放) them the next morning, covered in pollen, so that they can go and carry the pollen to another Arum.
One type of Acacia tree in South America encourages ants to live in it. The tree provides the ants with a home (in special branches) and with food (little pieces of protein at the end of some leaves). In return, the ants defend their tree as fiercely(猛烈地) as they can. They attract any other insect or animal which comes near, and even remove other plants growing near it.

10 Reasons To Love
An Empowered Woman
If you are looking for someone
you can pour out your love to,
let me suggest the empowered woman.
The empowered woman knows what she
wants, knows how to get it,
knows how to live fully, and
she knows how to love you back
without needing anyone』s approval or
recognition. An empowered woman is
unarguably one of the most magnificent
beings you will ever come in
contact with. Read on and find 10
reason why you should absolutely love
and embrace the empowered women in
your life! .
1. She knows how to love
you in return
It is
difficult to give what you
don』t have. It is impossible to
love someone and feel fulfilled when
they can』t love you in return
because they don』t love themselves.
This will never happen to you
when you love an empowered woman.
She loves herself (not in a
narcissistic manner). In turn, she
appreciates who you are and loves
you in return. She will love
you just like you deserve to be
loved.
2. She will inspire
you
When life puts you
down and you are at the end
of your rope, the empowered woman
will be there to see you
through. Her drive, enthusiasm and
(at times) hopeless optimism will
inspire you to carry on despite
the obstacles you face.
3. She is not afraid of
failure
While many out
there are thoroughly terrified of
failure, the empowered woman understands
that failures are simply stepping
stones in life. How can you
not love someone that is thoroughly
unafraid to try, fail, and give
it a shot all over again?!
4. She is all about the
legacy
While most people
are focused on the car, the
house, the job, and corner office;
the empowered woman is focused on
leaving a legacy that will inspire
others and change the world. The
empowered woman is focused on
empowering others to maximize their
potential and fulfill their purpose.
She is all about inspiring others
to look beyond themselves and live
a life of service to others.
5. She can laugh at her
mistakes…
…and learn from
them as well! She understands mistakes
are part of the journey. The
empowered woman can laugh and learn
from her mistakes to ensure they
never happen again.
6. She can be
vulnerable
The empowered woman
understands there is no debt in
relationships without vulnerability. Although
she is emotionally strong, she is
willing to laugh and cry with
you because all of these emotions
are an essential part of life.
7. She can speak her
mind
While everyone else
is too concerned with what others
may think or say, the empowered
woman is not afraid to speak
her mind. She understands that her
value comes from within, not from
what others say or think about
her.
8. She knows when to remain
quiet
She lives by Abe
Lincoln』s words, 「Better to remain
silent and be thought a fool,
than to speak out and remove
all doubt.」
9. She knows how to have
fun
Whether it is at
the symphony or at a ball game,
the empowered woman understands life
is made up of experiences with
people – not the places you go.
She is able to live in the
moment and enjoy it fully without
being concerned for the future. After
all, who』s got a guaranteed
future?
10. She is not afraid of
change
While most people
rather continue on living unfulfilled
lives as long as their comfort
zone remains intact, the empowered
woman is all about embracing change.
She understands growth cannot happen
without change. She understands that
change is the gift life offers
you to choose your destiny. Therefore,
she is not afraid of change
because it is her stepping stone
towards success
