George Bush Addresses Nation
___Remarks on the loss of Space Shuttle Columbia
My fellow Americans, this day has brought terrible news and great sadness to our country. At 9:00 a.m. this morning. Mission Control in Houston lost contact (联系) with our Space Shuttle Columbia. A short time later, debris (残骸) was seen falling from the skies above Texas .The Columbia is lost; there were no survivors (幸存者).
On board was a crew of seven: Colonel Rick Husband; Colonel Michael Anderson; Commander Laurel Clark; Captain David Brown; Commander William McCool; Dr. Kalpana and Ilan Raman, a Colonel in the Israeli Air Force. These men and women assumed (承担) great risk in the service to all humanity (人类).
In an age when space flight has come to seem almost routine (例行的), it is easy to overlook the dangers of travel by rocket, and the difficulties of navigating (驾驶) the fierce outer atmosphere of the earth. These astronauts knew the dangers, and they faced them willingly, knowing they had a high and noble purpose in life. Because of their courage and daring and idealism (理想主义), we will miss them all the more.
All Americans today are thinking, as well, of the families of these men and women who have been given this sudden shock and grief (悲痛).You are not alone. Our entire nation grieves (使悲痛) with you. And those you loved will always have the respect and gratitude of this country.
The cause in which they died will continue. Mankind is led into the darkness beyond our world by the inspiration (感激) and the longing to understand. Our journey into space will go on.
In the skies today we saw destruction (毁灭) and tragedy（灾难）. Yet farther than we can see there is comfort and hope. In the words of the prophet (预言家) Isaiah, “Lift your eyes and look to the heavens. Who created all these He who brings out the starry（星光灿烂） hosts one by one and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty (强大的) strength, not one of them is missing.”
The name Creator who names the stars also knows the names of the seven souls we mourn (哀悼) today. The crew of the Shuttle Columbia did not return safely to the earth, yet we can pray（祈） that all are safely home. May God bless the grieving families, and may God continue to bless America.话题(Topics)Can you let us know an unforgettable person or experience in your life

Saturday July 5th Fine
Today we went on an organized trip to Ultima Thule. We set out in the school bus at 7:20a.m. At nine thirty, we began our programs as soon as we got off the bus. We played games on the sands and swam in the river happily. After that, we had lunch in a restaurant. In the afternoon we held a contest of telling stories in English. It turned out to be quite a success. Six winners were given beautiful prizes and I was lucky to be among them. A good many photos were also taken there. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Time passed quickly and we had to leave. It was half past four when we returned safely.
What a good trip we had today! I will never forget it.

A Narrow Escape
Shortly after the war，my brother and I were invited to spend a few days＇ holiday with my uncle who had just returned from abroad . He rented (租) a cottage in the country, although he hardly spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it. Many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked ( 漏水 ), making the whole house wet.
On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening the stories our uncle told of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle＇exciting stories. He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash(倒塌声)from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen right on to the pillow (枕头 ) of my bed.

Friday October 8th sunny
Over the National Day my friend and I went to a hill here, in our area. We knew about it from an advertisement of a travel agent.
First, we went to the town by train, and then we took a bus. But after about half an hour’s ride the road was not fit for bus, and we had to cover the rest way on foot. When we finally got to the foot of the mountain, we felt a bit tired, so we had a 20 minutes’ rest. At about 9:00 o’clock we began to climb the hill .On our way to the top of the mountain, we enjoyed the beautiful views, saw rare animals, birds and plants. The guide told us stories and fairy tales of this part, from which we also learned much knowledge and customs. We took a good many photos .When we got back home, either of us was worn out, but we both felt happy and pleased.

George Bush Addresses Nation
___Remarks on the loss of Space Shuttle Columbia
My fellow Americans, this day has brought terrible news and great sadness to our country. At 9:00 a.m. this morning. Mission Control in Houston lost contact (联系) with our Space Shuttle Columbia. A short time later, debris (残骸) was seen falling from the skies above Texas .The Columbia is lost; there were no survivors (幸存者).
On board was a crew of seven: Colonel Rick Husband; Colonel Michael Anderson; Commander Laurel Clark; Captain David Brown; Commander William McCool; Dr. Kalpana and Ilan Raman, a Colonel in the Israeli Air Force. These men and women assumed (承担) great risk in the service to all humanity (人类).
In an age when space flight has come to seem almost routine (例行的), it is easy to overlook the dangers of travel by rocket, and the difficulties of navigating (驾驶) the fierce outer atmosphere of the earth. These astronauts knew the dangers, and they faced them willingly, knowing they had a high and noble purpose in life. Because of their courage and daring and idealism (理想主义), we will miss them all the more.
All Americans today are thinking, as well, of the families of these men and women who have been given this sudden shock and grief (悲痛).You are not alone. Our entire nation grieves (使悲痛) with you. And those you loved will always have the respect and gratitude of this country.
The cause in which they died will continue. Mankind is led into the darkness beyond our world by the inspiration (感激) and the longing to understand. Our journey into space will go on.
In the skies today we saw destruction (毁灭) and tragedy（灾难）. Yet farther than we can see there is comfort and hope. In the words of the prophet (预言家) Isaiah, “Lift your eyes and look to the heavens. Who created all these He who brings out the starry（星光灿烂） hosts one by one and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty (强大的) strength, not one of them is missing.”
The name Creator who names the stars also knows the names of the seven souls we mourn (哀悼) today. The crew of the Shuttle Columbia did not return safely to the earth, yet we can pray（祈） that all are safely home. May God bless the grieving families, and may God continue to bless America.话题(Topics)Can you let us know an unforgettable person or experience in your life

Today we went on an organized trip to Ultima Thule. We set out in the school bus at 7:20a.m. At nine thirty, we began our programs as soon as we got off the bus. We played games on the sands and swam in the river happily. After that, we had lunch in a restaurant. In the afternoon we held a contest of telling stories in English. It turned out to be quite a success. Six winners were given beautiful prizes and I was lucky to be among them. A good many photos were also taken there. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

A Narrow Escape
Shortly after the war，my brother and I were invited to spend a few days＇ holiday with my uncle who had just returned from abroad .

On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening the stories our uncle told of his many adventures in distant countries.

He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash(倒塌声)from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.
When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen right on to the pillow (枕头 ) of my bed.

Friday October 8th sunny
Over the National Day my friend and I went to a hill here, in our area. We knew about it from an advertisement of a travel agent.
First, we went to the town by train, and then we took a bus. But after about half an hour’s ride the road was not fit for bus, and we had to cover the rest way on foot. When we finally got to the foot of the mountain, we felt a bit tired, so we had a 20 minutes’ rest. At about 9:00 o’clock we began to climb the hill .On our way to the top of the mountain, we enjoyed the beautiful views, saw rare animals, birds and plants. The guide told us stories and fairy tales of this part, from which we also learned much knowledge and customs. We took a good many photos .When we got back home, either of us was worn out, but we both felt happy and pleased.
