Passage 1
The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset ”
“No, sir,” the men answered.
The director was angry. “Why not ” he asked.
“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”
“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”
But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards Then it’ll look like a sunset.”
“That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”
The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”
The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.
The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.

一部昂贵的大片导演计划在大洋的上空拍摄美丽的落日，以便观众在影片末尾可以看见男女主人公在夕阳前互道永别。一天傍晚，他派出他的摄制组去拍摄夕阳。
第二天早晨他对摄制组的人说，“你们已经拍摄落日了吗？”
摄制组的人说“先生，没有。”
导演很生气，他问“为什么没有？”
“呃，先生”其中一人回答道，“我们在东海岸，而太阳在西边落下。如果有必要的话，我们可以在海上给你拍到日出，但拍不到落日。”
“但我要的是落日！”导演吼道，“到飞机场去，乘坐下一趟班机去西海岸给我拍落日。”
就在那时，一个年轻的秘书想出了一个办法。“你们为什么不拍摄日出，然后往后倒呢？这样它看起来就像落日了。”她建议道。
导演说“这是一个好主意！”于是他转过头来对摄制组的人说，“我要你们明天把海上美丽的日出给我拍下来。”
第二天清晨摄制组出去了，他们在美丽的海湾中心把海滩上美丽的日出拍下来了。九点钟时，他们把拍摄的日出送到了导演那里。“先生，给，”他们边说边把拍摄的带子交给了导演，导演对此很满意。
他们所有人都走进了录音室。“好啦，”导演解释道，“现在男女主人公将要道别了。把把胶片往后倒，这样我就能他们背后的‘落日’了。”
‘落日’开始了，但是十五秒之后，导演双手捂着脸，大声叫摄制组停。
胶片中的鸟正在往后飞，海浪也在从海滩上往下退。
Passage 2
Claude and Louris are “giraffes”. So are police officers Hankins and Pearson. These men and women don’t look like giraffes; they look like you and me. Then, why do people call them “giraffes”
A giraffe, they say, is an animal that sticks its neck out, can see places far away and has a large heart. It lives a quiet life and moves about in an easy and beautiful way. In the same way, a “giraffe” can be a person who likes to “stick his or her neck out” for other people, always watches for future happenings, has a warm heart for people around, and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life himself or herself.
“The Giraffe Project” is a 10-year-old group which finds and honors “giraffes” in the US and in the world. The group wants to teach people to do something to build a better world. The group members believe that a person shouldn’t draw his or her head back; instead, they tell people to “stick their neck out” and help others. Claude and Louris, Hankins and Pearson are only a few of the nearly 1,000 “giraffes” that the group found and honored.
Claude and Louris were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved for future use. One day, however, they saw a homeless man looking for a place to keep warm and they decided that they should “stick their neck out” and give him some help. Today, they lived in Friends’ House, where they invite twelve homeless people to stay every night.
Police officers Hankins and Pearson work in a large city. They see crimes every day and their work is sometimes dangerous. They work hard for their money. However, these two men put their savings together and even borrowed money to start an educational center to teach young people in a poor part of the city. Hankins and Pearson are certainly “giraffes”.

克劳德和路瑞丝是"长颈鹿"。警官汉金斯和皮尔逊也是。这些男人和女人看起来并不像长颈鹿；他们看起来就像你和我一样。那么，人们为什么叫他们为"长颈鹿"呢？
人们说长颈鹿，是一种伸出脖子，能看得远，有着宽阔胸怀的动物。它过着宁静的生活，以从容和优雅的姿势到处活动。同样地，"长颈鹿"有时可能是一个为他人伸出脖子，总是留意将来事情的人，对在周围的人们有着一颗爱心，同时自己过着住宁静而又优美的生活。
“长颈鹿工程”是一个有10年历史的团体，它在美国和世界上发现和表彰“长颈鹿”似的人。这个团体想要教人们做某些事情来建造一个更加美好的世界。这些团体成员们认为人不应该缩着头；相反他们叫人们伸出脖子来帮助别人。克劳德和路瑞丝是这个团体发现和表彰的近1000个“长颈鹿”中的少数几个人。
克劳德和路瑞丝年纪渐渐大了，他们带着原来存下来以备将来之用的钱退休了。然而，有一天他们看见一个无家可归的人在找地方取暖，他们就决定他们应该伸出脖子来帮助他。如今，他们住在“朋友之家”，在那儿他们每天邀请12个无家可归的人住那里。
警官汉金斯和皮尔逊在一座大城市里工作。他们每天看见犯罪，他们的工作有时是危险的。为了钱，他们努力工作。然而，他们俩把他们的储蓄放在一起，甚至借钱创办了一个教育中心来教这个城市里贫困的年轻人。汉金斯和皮尔逊当然也是“长颈鹿”。
Passage 3
My first exposure to photography was 25 years ago. I was a freshman in college, looking for an interesting elective class, so I picked Basic Photography. I loved it so much, I ended up taking every photography class they offered. For years my primary interest in life was photography. I worked in a camera store. I did portraits on the side. I worked two seasons for the National Park Service and tried to work photography and video production into my duties. I got a job as a newspaper photographer so I could shoot every day. And when I wasn’t working, I did landscape photography.
If anything rivaled my love for photography, it was my love of the outdoors. So when I took a holiday, I went camping and hiking. My favorite places to visit were Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado, Death Valley, and Monument Valley. Heck, just about anywhere wild in the wide, open west.
While working as a newspaper photographer for The Californian in Temecula, California in 1988-1990, I discovered the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve, a 6000-acre Nature Conservancy preserve. This gorgeous area of undeveloped grasslands and rolling, oak-studded hills is just a few miles from the city. I adopted it as my nearby wilderness retreat, usually turning to it for peaceful hikes, wildlife watching and photography.

对摄影学而言那我拍摄的第一张照片是25 年以前。那时我是一名大学新生，正在寻找一门有趣的选修课，因此我就挑选了基础摄影学。我非常喜欢这门课，我上完了他们提供的每一节摄影课。多年来，我生活中的主要兴趣就是摄影。我曾经在一家照相器材商店工作，同时我以做肖像为副业。我曾经在国家公园服务公司工作了两个季度，并且设法把摄影和录像制作纳入我的工作职责。后来我在一家报社当了摄影记者，因此我每天都可以拍摄了。当我不工作时，我就拍摄风景。
如果说有什么可与我对摄影的喜爱相匹敌的话，那就是户外活动。因此当我度假时，我常去露营和徒步旅行。我最喜爱去的地方是黄石，壮丽的特顿山脉，科罗拉多沙漠西南部的圣胡安山，死亡谷和纪念谷。真见鬼，全是西部广袤的野生地。
1988～1990年我在加里福尼亚特墨科尤勒给《加里福尼亚报》当摄影记者时，就发现了圣罗莎高原生态的保护区，一个6000亩自然保护区。这个耀眼的地区到处是不发达的牧场，绵延起伏的、长满橡树的小山，离市区仅仅只有几英里。当我从附近荒野地退出的时候，我常用它来做宁静的徒步旅行，观赏野生动物和摄影。

But I knew he was going to say a little to me. “I can’t tell anything,” he finally said. “I never went to college, and none of your brothers went to college. I can’t say don’t do this and do that, because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up. I can’t help much with money either, but I think things will work out. ”
He gave me a new check-book. “If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write one, send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part-time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps.
“You know what you want to be, and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on. “When you get a job, be sure it’s honest, and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town, and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.
Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, broken Bible that he had read so often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbours. I knew he would miss it. I knew, though, that I must take it.
He didn’t say read this every morning. He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”
Did it help I got through college without being a burden on the family. I have been able to make money since.

我在卡车里和父亲握手，很久他两眼直视前方很久，一言不发。但是我知道他要对我说点什么。“我无法预言任何事情”，他最后说。“我从未上过大学，而且你的兄弟们没有一个上过大学。我也不能说不做这，不做那，因为任何事情都不同，我不知道将来会发生什么。在钱方面我也帮不了多大的忙，但是我认为事情总会过去的”。
他给了我一本新支票簿，“如果情况开始吃紧，填写一张小支票。但是当你写支票的时候，要给我寄一封信并且让我知道支票上的钱是多少。我们总是有能出售的一些东西。”在四年里，我填写的支票总数不超过一千元。我的兼职工作如念书给一个盲童听和照顾老师们的孩子填补了我的经济不足。
“你知道你想要当什么，而且人们也会告诉你从事什么职业，”父亲继续说，“当你一旦得到一份工作，一定要诚实，努力工作。”我知道在这个大城市里不久我就将孤身一人，并且我将怀念留在记忆中的凉风和生活。
后来爸爸在他的座位旁低下身来取出那本又旧又破的圣经，这本书他经常读，当他与哪个邻居发生友善的争执时，他总想在里面查阅点东西。尽管我知道他舍不得这本书，但我得接受它。
他并没说每天早晨你要读这本书。他只是说“如果你想让它帮你的话，它会帮你的。”
它会帮助我吗？我大学读完了，没有给家里增添任何负担。从那时起，我就能赚钱了。

Passage 3
In a classroom in any country, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches what is known as the “hidden course” ---the culture of that country.
In a society such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and think highly of individualism. Their education as a part of the society, also think of this greatly. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information; instead, they work alone and find answers by themselves. There is often a discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought. The importance is put on how to arrive at an answer and not simply to get the correct answer.
In most Asian countries, the people have the same languages, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the education there shows society’s ideas in group goals rather than individualism. Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the teacher often teaches in a public way. He says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.
In many ways these differences come from different educational psychology. In Western countries teachers make it easier for the students to learn for themselves. In the Eastern, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students, or the students can’t learn anything.

在任何国家的一间教室里，教师教的知识多于艺术、历史或语言。他们教就是著名的“隐性课程”，即那个国家的文化。
在一个像美国的社会里，带着不同历史，文化和语言的人融入在一起，他们高度崇尚个人主义。作为社会一部分的教育，也高度崇尚个人主义。教师努力使每个学生都具有独特的个性。学生不必记得许多信息； 相反，他们单独学习并且自己找到答案。他们在教室里经常进行讨论。 在很小的时候，学生们就学会有自己的看法。他们的教育鼓励个人看法。 教育的重点放在怎样得出答案而不是仅仅得到正确答案。
在大多数亚洲国家，人们有相同的语言，历史和文化。或许正是由于这个原因，那里的教育以集体目标的形式反映出社会观点而不是个人的观点。在中国和日本的孩子经常一同学习，在家庭作业方面互相帮助。 在教室里，教师经常以大众的方式来教。教师说，学生听，没有很多的讨论。相反，学生要重复他们已经被教的规则和信息，从而记住他们。
在很多方面这些差别来自于不同的教育心理学。在西方国家里教师通过让学生自学使学习更容易。 然而，在东方国家里，教师经常认为他们的工作就是把知识传授给学生，否则学生就学不到任何东西。

Passage 2
“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net.”
“I often check my e-mail forty times a day.”
“I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net.”
“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-life’ friends. ”
Do you know any people like these They are part of a new addiction called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug use. People lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and
they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the net for
several days straight.
Studies show that about 6% to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.
Is “surfing the net” a hobby or an addiction for you You may have a problem if you have these symptoms:
You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
You can’t wait for your next online time.
You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.
You go out with your friends less and less.

“早晨我有时3点钟 或者4 点钟起床，上网冲浪。”
“我经常检查我的电子邮件，一天40 次。”
“在网上我常常一次就要花费3个多小时。”
“我在聊天室里花费的时间要多于我与‘现实生活’中的朋友呆在一起的时间。”
你认识这样的一些人吗？他们是被称之为叫“有因特网瘾”的新上瘾的一部分。因特网瘾君子每周度在线上要花费至少30 到40 个小时。使用因特网就像吸毒一样可能上瘾。人们无法控制他们在因特网上所花费的时间。
例如，一个大学生失踪几天。他的朋友为他担心，给警察打电话。 警察在计算机实验室里找到这位学生：他正在网上冲浪好几天了。
研究显示大约6%到10%的因特网用户上瘾。因此人们对青少年担心，因为因特网正在改变适合一些孩子玩的领域。他们在计算机空间里花费的时间要远远多于他们在现实生活中与朋友和家人在一起的时间。
“上网冲浪”对你来说是爱好还是有瘾？ 如果你有这些症状，你可能就有问题了：
你因为喜欢在因特网上花费数小时，而不去参加重要的家庭活动或者不做功课。
对于下次上网，你迫不及待。
你原计划在线上玩一会儿，结果你在晚上却花费了几个小时。
你与朋友出去越来越少。

Passage 1
A mobile phone is in fact a small radio. A radio sends a person’s voice over a long way to another radio. A voice that is sent by radio is called a signal. A radio signal travels very quickly.
Only a few years ago, mobile phones were very large. They needed large batteries. They had to be powerful to send their signal to faraway places. This was because most cities had only one antenna tower for mobile phones.
Today’s mobile phones are small and easy to use. Now most cities have a lot of antenna towers, not just one. This means that each mobile phone doesn’t have to send its signal far away, so they don’t need to be so powerful. Mobile phones today use small batteries. A large city, where lots of mobile phones are used, can have hundreds of towers.
Do you know what use a mobile phone has Yes, you can use it to do a lot of things.
Call your friends and family from almost anywhere.
Call the police immediately if there is an accident in the street.
Send or receive messages.
Sending short written messages is a popular way to use your mobile phone. Many people use short forms of words, so the messages are quick to write and read. Can you guess what these messages mean Try reading them out. What do you hear

移动电话事实上是一部很小的无线电话。无线电话能把很远的一个人的声音发送到另一部无线电话上。被无线电话发送的声音被称之为信号。无线电信号传播很快。
就在几年前，移动电话的形状很大。它们需要很大的电池。这些电池的功率必须很高才能把信号发送到很远的地方。这是因为绝大多数城市仅有一个移动电话中继站。
如今的移动电话形状小，使用方便。现在绝大多数城市有许多中继站，而非仅仅一个。这就是说每部移动电话不必把信号传到很远，因此它们不必很高的功率。如今的移动电话都使用小电池。在一个普遍使用移动电话的大城市里，可能有数百个中继站。
你知道移动电话有哪些用途吗？是的，你可以用它来做许多事情。
给你几乎在任何一个地方的朋友和家人打电话。
如果你在街上遇到车祸，立即给警察打电话。
收发电子邮件。
从因特网上获得信息。
收发信息。
发短信是你使用移动电话的一种流行方式。很多人使用缩写形式，因此读写短信很快。你能猜出这些短信的意思吗？试着把它们读出来。你听出是什么了吗？
你好吗？
待会儿见！
这很简单！
明天之前我可以见到你吗？
真棒！
