⑶ 高中英语~阅读理解~短文

一
The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Graally, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.
56. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.
B. To give a warning to other countries
C. To show the importance of money
D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.
57. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
A. Rich and powerful B. Modern and open
C. Peaceful and attractive D. Greedy and aggressive
58. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______.
A. soil pollution B. phosphate overmining
C. farming activity D. whale hunting
59. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?
A. Its leaders misused the money B. It spent too much repairing the island
C. Its phosphate mining cost much money D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
60. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
B. The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.
C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans
D. The phosphate mines were destroyed

Arthur Miller (1915-2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller’s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream.” However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s.
Miller’s most famous play, Death of a SaIesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into double with his worth. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he can’t do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.[
56. Why did Arthur Miller’s father move to the USA?
A. He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.
B. He was attracted by the "Great American Dream.
C. He hoped to make his son a dramatist.
D. His family business failed.
57. The play Death of a Salesman _______.
A. exposes the cruelty of the American business world
B. discusses the ways to get promoted in a company
C. talks about the business career of Arthur Miller
D. focuses on the skills in doing business
58. What can we learn about Willy Loman?
A. He treats his employer badly.
B. He runs the Wagner Company.
C. He is a victim of the American system.
D. He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.
59. After it was first staged, Death of a Salesman _______.
A. achieved huge success B. won the first Tony Award
C. was warmly welcomed by salesmen D. was severely attacked by dramatists
60. What is the text mainly about?
A. Arthur Miller and his family. B. The awards Arthur Miller won.
C. The hardship Arthur Miller experienced. D. Arthur Miller and his best-known play

《新概念英语》（New Concept English）作为享誉全球的最为经典地道的英语教材，以其严密的体系性、严谨的科学性、精湛的实用性、浓郁的趣味性深受英语学习者的青睐，《新概念英语》在中国有40多年的历史，每年有数百万学习者，早已成为英语学习者的必选读物。
[编辑本段]一册(英语初阶)基础班
学习英语的敲门砖（First Things First）讲练基本语音、语调（包括所有的音标、连读、同化）及英语中的基本语法、词法、句法及句型结构知识。学好第一册，是练好英语基本功的关键，适合于英语基础差，欲在短期内掌握英语基础的学习者。掌握后，可以参加中考一类考试。新概念英语第一册封面
[编辑本段]二册(实践与进步)初级班

构建英语的基石（Practice and Progress）在掌握一册语法知识的基础上，由浅入深、逐步讲解语法要点，使你轻松掌握枯燥的语法；通过对句型想方设法的分析及对词汇、短语的讲解，使你在听、说、读中能真正运用地道的句型。掌握后，可以参加高考一类考试。
[编辑本段]三册(培养技能)提高班

掌握英语的关键（Developing Skills）着重分析句子之间内在的逻辑关系，使你认识到句型的精炼、优美、实用与可模仿性，从而将其有机地运用于英语写作之中；老师将进一步扩充讲解词汇、短语及语法的实战运用。具备3000个左右的词汇，或已完成《新概念英语》第二册学习的学员可进行《新概念英语》第三册的学习。掌握后，相当于大学4级的水平。
[编辑本段]四册(流利英语)高级班

体味英语的精髓（Fluency in English）四册涵盖了文化、经济、哲学、艺术、体育、政治、美学、心理学、社会学、教育学、伦理学、天文学等三十多个学科门类，语言文字精美独到，句型结构复杂多变而又不失简洁酣畅。同时诸多文章里蕴涵着深厚的哲思、美学及西方文化中独特的思维方式，这使得该教材成为每一位欲真正掌握英语语言精华的学习者不可多得、不可不学的教材。教师将与你共同体味其中的奥妙。完全掌握后，为雅思级别。
[编辑本段]新概念学习手册:
1、先整体听一遍课文。看看自己到底能听懂多少。
2、利用复读机复读功能，逐句播放，听一句，写一句，碰到不会的单词了就先空着。继续往下听写。整篇课文或者你拟定的几句话都听写完了，再结合上下文看看那些不会的单词能不能猜出来。
3、逐句回放那些空着单词的句子，试一试能不能写出来。如果还不行，就打开书对照的看一下。在这里，我倒是不主张钻牛角尖，恨不能一个不会的单词憋好几年才写出来。因为，有些单词确实我们不会，那么直接看一下书，就知道了，下次也可能在其他课文中还会遇到，这就等于是复习了，不要太死板了。其实，这次看了，未必下次你真的就会写。
4、把不会的单词，或者你认为含糊的单词去逐个的查词典，逐条的去看注解。
5、每天多听这些听写过的录音，最起码你要在今天听写新内容之前要默写一遍昨天听写过的。
6、看着中文注解写英文，联系中英互换。绝对有效。
7、如果你想练就口语，就要大声的去模仿朗读，最好能背读。
8、运用李阳的“一口气”训练你的伶牙俐齿，这个真是很管用，以后你会发现听任何英语都不会觉得语速快的。
[编辑本段]语音与学习
看到论坛中的网友都在找新概念美语版的录音,可能与现在的大部分听力材料都是美语有关(如voa toefl).不过我推荐大家使用由英国longman公司录制的新概念,原因很简单,这套录音根据不同的英语水平设计了不同的时速,从第一册的每分钟约100个单词到第二册的每分钟120-140个单词,再到第三四册的每分钟150-160个单词,使学习者逐渐熟悉适应正常的说话速度,设计较为合理,而不象一般的录音都是一个速度.同时该录音采用的是Received Pronunciation.即BBC所使用的standard English,有利于大家以后适应收听BBC.
[编辑本段]新概念英语背诵方法
方法（一）
（1）明确目的，集中精力
背诵一篇课文或者一段必须掌握的语句，最忌东张西望，漫不经心，注意力分散。如果是一篇很简单的文字，背了几天后仍老出错，这肯定是用心不专的缘故。至于出现“前记后忘”的现象，则是正常的，这时千万不要向这种暂时困难屈服而打退堂鼓。
（2）确定任务，寻找窍门
背诵一篇短文，仅仅读几遍是行不通的，一定要熟读到滚瓜烂熟的程度才行。开始时可短一些，容易一些，然后作一定幅度的调整。此外，背诵时还要讲究一定的技巧，熟读课文内容，理解课文大意，不仅不会记错和混淆，而且记住的数量也会越来越多。
（3）坚持复背，及时检查
复习背诵的时间用得越多，记住的效果就越佳。例如，早晨背诵过的课文或知识，晚上睡前以及第二天起床后，应进行一次复背，并在每周六或周日再作适当的温习背诵，以后过一个月再复背一次。这样，可保证很长一段时期不会遗忘。
（4）加强默写，强化训练
所谓“眼过千遍，不如手抄一遍”。采取默写手段，可有效地巩固已经背诵了的课文和知识，而且对加深记忆大有好处。因为文字本身就是一种图形和符号，经常默写可帮助我们促进右脑的开发。如果能切实做到循序渐进，长期进行默写训练，那么一定会有助于背诵的质量和效果。
方法（二）
（1）反复阅读与再现相结合
单纯地反复阅读效果并不好，学习者应该在文章还没有完全记住前积极进行尝试再现，回忆不起来时再阅读。这样容易记住，而且保持时间也长。特别生疏的语句，注意多尝试再现几次。因为尝试再现是一种比阅读更积极的智力活动，又是一种自我检查的过程，使人更能集中精力，掌握识记内容的重点、难点，并及时改正记忆中的错误。
（2）试背
背诵过程中，如果出现“卡壳”，应该进行追忆。追忆是有意和间接再现的形式，它需要付出很大的意志力，克服一定的困难，多方面寻找线索，进行积极灵活的思维。因此，不能一“卡壳”，就立即停止背诵。
（3）熟背
文章通过理解消化，已纳入自己的知识系统，语句通过熟读试背，也已朗朗上口，如果再反复朗读几遍，就能流利地背诵下来。检查方式，除了个人和集体背诵外，还有对背，即两人面对面同时背诵，因为有对方干扰，可锻炼学生记忆的深刻性和正确性；提背，即打哪提，从哪背，提到哪，背到哪，可锻炼学生记忆的准确性。
（4）默写
这也是运用内部语言背诵的一种形式，既用脑，又动手，可加深对文章的记忆。一篇文章，就这样一段一段地把它“吃掉”。最后，遵循“整体→部分→整体”的原则，按照背诵各段的方法，再把全篇串联起来，进行背诵。
另外，为了使所背诵的内容长久地保持在头脑中，以便在实践中及时提取应用，学习者还应注意两点：一是遵循遗忘规律，合理安排复习。既要有天天背诵检查，又要每周集中安排一次背诵检查。不断强化记忆痕迹，避免其减弱或消退。二是根据识记程度对遗忘进程的影响，注意安排过度学习。实验表明，过度学习的效果优于适度学习的效果。所谓适度学习是指在识记材料刚刚达到背诵程度就中止的学习。而过度学习是指对识记材料达到背诵之后还继续进行学习。

[编辑本段]学习新概念的好处
对语感很有帮助
学习《新概念英语》对提高英语成绩绝对有帮助
一个真实的小故事,很多学新概念的人可能都听说过。有个高中生英语学新概念，方法就是把其中每一篇短文都背下来了。高中时背了前两册，大学又背了后两册。因为背得熟，所以基础扎实，口语、语法也很棒。后来留学美国，教授看他文章写得好的实在不象一个外国学生写的，就认为是他作弊。于是把他找来问，他说自己并没有作弊，教授说怎么证明，他说我可以流利的背诵文章。说着就给教授背了一篇又一篇，最后，教授哭了，感叹我自己的语言我都没有背一篇文章，却叫一个中国孩子背了去。
新概念的教程编排适合学习者全面掌握英语，如果能将其扎扎实实的背一遍，相信功夫不负有心人了。我的一个老师教的背诵办法挺好，就是低头看书念一句之后，马上抬头将这句背出来，不要停留继续低头念下句，再抬头背这句，以段为单位，反复背，记得又快又准确，试试吧！
如何更好地学习新概念英语
在全世界的英语学习者的心目中，《新概念英语》可谓是一部“宝典”级的教材，如今在中国，学习《新概念英语》也已蔚然成风。那么这部“宝典”的与众不同之处到底体现在何处呢？《新概念英语》由英国著名的语言教育专家L.G.Alexander 先生编写，历经半个多世纪而经久不衰，因为它可以帮助学习者在比较短的时间内全方位地提高自身的听说读写译五方面的素质。我就从这么几个方面帮大家分析一下学习《新概念英语》的好处和具体的学习方法：
第一部分，听力。
大家完全可以把《新概念英语》当成是一套很好的听力教材。《新概念英语》的配套磁带有英音的和美音的两种。大家可以根据自己的实际需要去选择购买。通过《新概念英语》练习英语听力的方法可以参考下列步骤：
第一步：不要看书，将整篇课文听写下来。如果有的词听不出来，猜测该词应该是什么，实在听不出来就不勉强。随着听写的增多，听力会逐渐增强。在听的过程中，也可加深对英语发音的认识。而且实践证明，如果能达到一听就懂的程度，你的脑子里英语翻译成汉语的现象就会消失，阅读理解的能力一定会大大提高。
第二步：把听写下来的文章与原文比对，查找错误，知道自己错在哪，以后今后如何避免。
第三步：跟着磁带反复跟读课文。注意各单词的读音以及语调等问题，语音语调尽量模仿磁带，力求接近磁带上的。
第二部分，词汇。
新概念教材课文里所学习的单词都是最基本、最常用的词汇，所以大家一定要掌握。对于意思不太明白的，最好用英英词典或者双解词典查阅并掌握其含义。
第三部分，语法和阅读。
建议大家进行课后的习题练习和同步测试，巩固学习内容，检验学习效果。尤其是，新概念每课都有一个自己的核心语法内容，这就要求学生要将每课的这一个语法掌握。如果个别同学感觉自己的语法和阅读水平较差的，最好选择一些与自己水平相当的语法教材和英语分级阅读读物来进行课外学习，以提高英语实力。
第四部分，写作。
很多人不知道如何借学习新概念来提高自己的写作能力，其实这也是有法可循的。你可以在接触一篇新的课文前，先不要看它的英文，而是根据它的中文翻译自己写再翻译成英语，然后再和原文对照，这样一经对比，就可以找到自己写作的弱点和问题，及时修正，日久积累，从而获得提高。特别是第三册和第四册里面的一些美文，就为大家提供了相当好的写作方法和经典范文。
第五部分，背诵。
在学习过程中，背诵一些经典课文将对英语的记忆、理解非常有益。尤其对于英语初学者而言，通过背诵课文可以加深对英语的记忆，在头脑中形成固定的记忆区域，这是一个由量变到质变的过程。很多经典的句型、语法、词汇，通过背诵课文，都可以十分有效地长驻背诵者心中，这样一来，同学们的阅读、语法和写作，能够同时得到提高。
[编辑本段]《新概念英语》第二册 背诵课
《新概念英语》第二册 背诵课 与该册的其他授课不同，它不讲解课文语法知识及其他英语知识，它主要传授英语背诵技能及背诵方法，是我倾尽毕生心血，几十年如一日，研究摸索所得。本课主要任务是用科学的记忆方法及熟练的记忆技能帮你迅速记住该篇课文。
《新概念英语》第二册背诵课按照课文句子在人们大脑中的记忆过程，依次采取了填空①， 填空② ， 全篇通记，依据关键词再现全篇课文，依英语句子结构，照汉语提示，写英语单词，重新组合句中单词，再现单句、及全篇课文以及取单词的第一字母，完成单词及句子的再现的不同形式，在句子中的学习过程中，把句中的语法词汇和句中的词组，依次安排在不同的场合，这样就给大家提供了一个在学习英语句子过程中轻松自然的速记句子过程。它避免了死记硬背的生硬做法，能达到事半功倍的奇效。
此外，本片附件中还配备了《新概念英语》第二册的单词速记，形象生动的动画演绎，实现了单词和短语的快速记忆，课文背诵+单词速记，让你的学习轻松自如，事半功倍！
还有，为辅助本教学片，我们还配备了相应的练习册，写与背完美结合，帮助你在记忆的同时实现《新概念英语》第二册的书面记忆！

⑻ 高中英语阅读短文

我不太清楚怎样的短文适合高中生，就发一篇我以前读过的短文吧。
Nothing to worry about
The rough road across the plain soon became so bad that we tired to get Bruce to ddrive back to the village we had come from. Even thought the road was littered with boulders and pitted with holes, Bruce ws not in the least perturbed. Glancing at his map, he informed us that the next village was a mere twenty miles away. It was not that Bruce always underestimated difficulties. He simply had no sense of danger at all. No matter the conditions were, he believed that a car should be driven as fast as it could possibly go.

As we bumped over the sty track, we swerved to avoid large boulders. The wheels scooped up stones which hammered ominously under the car. We felt sure that sooner or later a stone would rip a hole in our petrol tank or damage the engine. Because of this, we kept looking back, wondering if we were leaving a trail of oil and petrol behind us.

What a relief it was when the boulders suddenly disappeared, giving way to a stretch of plain where the only obstacles were clomps of bushes. But there was worse to come. Just ahead of us there was a huge fissure. In response to renewed pleadings, Bruce stopped. Though we all got out to examine he fissure, he remained in the car. We informed him that the fissure extended for fifty yards and was two feet wide and four feet deep. Even this had no effect. Bruce went into a low gear and drove at a terrifying speed, keeping the front wheels astride the crack as he followed its zigzag course. Before we had time to worry about what might happen, we were back on the plain again. Bruce consulted the map once more and told us that the village was now only fifteen miles away. Our next obstacle was a shallow pool of water about half a mile across. Bruce charged at it, but in the middle, the car cae to a grinding halt. A yellow light on the dashboard flashed angrily and Bruce cheerfully announced that there was no oil in the engine!

今天，年轻一代喜欢熬夜，经过一天的工作以后，他们会在晚上出去寻找乐子，因此他们很晚才回家，然后也很晚才起来。由于他们很晚才起来，他们会忽略早餐，等待午餐，如今人们会把这种餐称为早午餐，意思是在处于早餐和午餐的时间之间吃东西。事实上，不吃早餐对我们的健康不好，我们的身体整夜都没有摄入食物，需要在早餐的时间摄入食物，这样我们的身体才有能量工作。想象一下，一台没有电的机器如何工作，而早餐就相当于电。由于早操是如此的重要，我们必须要按时进食，这样我们的身体才能好好工作，并保持健康。

上周，我的朋友叫我和她一起去拜访她的家乡，她告诉我她的家乡很美丽，因此我征求了父母的意见，他们同意了。我们决定停留一周，第一次离开家让我很开心，我就像一只鸟儿，在天空中飞翔，呼吸着自由的空气。但是第四天的时候，我开始想念父母，特别是在夜晚来临的时候，黑暗让我觉得孤单，我只是想要和父母呆在一起。直到那时我才意识到家是甜蜜的，我的父母是最可爱的人。回家对于我来说真好。

人们总是说回到甜蜜的家，毫无疑问，对每个人来说，家是很重要的。在我上高中以前，我一直和父母住在一起，因此我对家的认识并不多。在我看来，家是我住的地方。但是当我去到寄宿学校，我不得不离开家，住在学校。这是我第一次远离家。我总是想念家，我离开的时间越长，就越想念家人。当我有假期了，我就跑回家，等不及要去见家人。如今，我懂得了家的意义，这不仅仅是我住的地方，也是我的安全地带。无论我去哪里，或者遇到什么困难，我的家人都会支持我。

一位班主任的话AnHeadTeacher’sWords

每年，当6月8号到来的时候，对于中国的高中生来说是个大日子，因为他们需要参加一场很重要的考试，这将会决定他们未来的大学。同时，也意味着和高中生活说再见。在每个班级，学生对他们的班主任都会留下很深刻的印象，即使他们毕业，仍然能记得班主任。做班主任是不容易的，他不得不随时跟着学生的工作，而且，大部分学生不喜欢班主任。所以当学生高中毕业了，一位班主任说感谢他的学生忍受了他三年。这些话是多么感人啊，学生也知道班主任的好意。没有班主任的监督，他们就无法走得那么远。

美好青春 Being Young Is Good

Last night, I went to my friend’s birthday party, I made some friends. We talked happily, one of my new friends showed us the pictures of the places he had been visited. We were so envious, all of us had the dream to go travel to many places, but none of us took the action. He told us that we were so young and had the energy to see the world. He told us to carry out the plan once we had the idea. What he told us is right, we are young and it is good to be young. In the old people’s eyes, we are so free and can go where we want. But most of the young people haven’t realized the right they have, they waste their youth and dare not to do what they want.
昨晚，我去了朋友的生日派对，结交了一些朋友。我们聊得很愉快，其中一个新朋友向我们展示了他去过的地方的照片。我们很羡慕，我们都有梦想要去旅游很多地方，但是没有人采取行动。他告诉我们说我们是如此的年轻，有精力去看看这个世界。他告诉我们去实施计划一旦我们有想法。他对我们说的是对的，我们年轻，年轻就是好。在老人家的眼里，我们很自由，可以到处去。但是大部分年轻人都没有意识到他们拥有的权利，他们浪费了自己的青春，不敢做自己想做的事情。

责任大于山 Responsibility Comes First

Early in the morning, I opened my computer and read the news. There was the news about a driver had the heart disease attack when he was driving the bus, there were more than 40 people in the bus. The driver stopped the bus off the road and then stopped his breath. I was so touched by the driver, in the emergency situation, he considered the passengers’ lives in the first place. It is his sense of responsibility that makes him to do it. The driver sets the good example to the public, he shows the importance of responsibility. No matter what we do, we should not forget about taking our responsibility. If people don’t take their own responsibility, then things will be out of order, the world will be in the mess. Responsibility always comes first.
一大早，我就打开电脑看新闻。有一则消息是关于一个司机在开车时心脏病发作，车上有超过40个人。司机把车开在了路边，然后停止了呼吸。我被这位司机感动，在紧急的情况下，他把乘客的生命放在第一位。正是他的责任感让他这样做。司机给大众树立了好榜样，他展示了责任的重要性。无论我们做什么，都不应该忘记履行我们的职责。如果人们不这样做，事情就会出乱，世界就会陷入混乱。责任大于山。

珍惜目前所有 Cherish What We Have

Today, as I had nothing to do, so I opened my computer and found a movie to watch. I thought about the movie that my friend asked me to watch, it was called 13 Is Going on 30. The story told about a 13 years old girl wanted to be a woman, so that she could have the beautiful face and perfect body shape. She wanted to date any handsome guy she liked. Then the magical thing happened, she became 30 and she got everything. But she felt lost, because her life was totally messed. I had the same feeling with the girl when I was at her age, I wanted to grow up quickly. But now, when I look at that age, I think it is better to cherish what I had at that time. Every stage of life has its happiness, so there is no need to skip the stage.
今天，由于我没有事情做，因此我打开电脑，寻找电影来看。我想到了我朋友叫我看的电影，叫《女孩梦三十》。这个故事讲述了一个13岁的女孩想要成为一名女人，这样她就能拥有美丽的脸庞和完美的身材。她想要和任何喜欢的英俊男孩约会。然后神奇的事情发生了，她变成了30岁的女人，并且拥有一切。但是她感到失落，因为她的生活很混乱。当我处在那个女孩年龄的时候，我和她有同样的感觉，我想要快点长大。但是如今，当我回望那个年纪，我觉得还是珍惜当时所拥有的比较好。每个年龄段都有它的快乐，因此没有必要去跨过那个阶段。

午后时光 Afternoon Time

Today was Saturday, early in the morning, I woke up and stayed at home the whole morning to watch TV. After finishing my lunch, I had nothing to do, so I decided to call my friends out. I headed to the coffee shop which was near a square. There were a lot of people in the square, some women were dancing and singing, while some men were taking the chess. I walked into the coffee shop, chose a table which was near the window, so that I could see the outside scenery. When my friends came, we talked happily, we shared the things that happened ring these days. Then all my pressure was relieved, I forgot about the annoyance on my study. At that moment, I was enjoying the time talking with my friends. I had the great time this afternoon.
今天是星期六，一大早，我就起床了，整个上午，我都呆在家里看电视。在吃完午饭后，我没有什么事情去做，因此我决定叫我的朋友们出去。我前往一家广场附近的咖啡店。广场里有很多人，一些女人在唱歌和跳舞，然而一些男人在下象棋。我走进了咖啡店，选择了一张近窗口的桌子，这样我就能看到外面的风景。当我的朋友们来了以后，我们聊得很愉快，分享了在这段时间发生的事情。然后我所有的压力都得到了释放，我忘记了学习上的烦恼。在那个时刻，我享受着和朋友们聊天的时光。今天下午我度过了愉快的时光。
