我看到了奇妙的东西
我首先参观的是一个太空站，这个站被认为是太空中最现代化的地方。太空站像一个巨大的圆盘，在太空中缓缓地旋转，以仿照出地球重心的引力。太空站里展出了31世纪一些最前沿的发明。有个导游带领我们站在一条移动的运送带上，到各处参观。
导游：从2008年来访的朋友们，早上好！首先，我们要查看一种我们太空居民使用的最新的通讯方式。再也不需要打字员在打字机或电脑上工作了！再也不需要邮费和邮政编码了！现在用一种“思想仪”就可以传递信息。你把这种金属带子放在你的头上，排除杂念，按下发送键，集中精神想着你要传递的信息，片刻功夫信息就发出去了。这个信息会储存在接受者的“思想仪”里。它快捷有效，而且环保。惟一的缺点是，如果使用者不能想清楚要传递的信息，发送出去的信息可能是模糊不清的。但我们不能因为使用者的使用不当而责备仪器，是不是？
在导游解说的时候，我观看着桌上这些被称为“思想仪”的小东西。它们看上去像金属带子。那么普通，但却那么神通广大！正当我还在观察时，运送带向前移动了。
导游：女士们先生们，现在我们到了“环保地带”。以前人们习惯用垃圾箱收集废弃物，然后这些垃圾被送走埋掉或烧掉，我说的对吧？(我们都点头)。可现在我们有一种装置，能利用生态学原理来处理掉废弃物。一架巨大的机器，能把所有能获得的废物都吞进去，而且总是贪得无厌。然后垃圾被分解成了几种有用的物质，如庄稼地的“肥料”和沙漠中的“土壤”。什么都不浪费，所有的东西，哪怕是塑料袋也回收利用了。伟大的创意，对不对？
我注视着缓缓移动的垃圾分解机器模型，为它的成效所吸引。但是，我们又开始向前移动了。
导游：第三站要展示给我们的是工作实践方面的一些变化。批量生产不再在地球上进行，而是转移到了像这样的太空站里。在太空里，一组工程师给机器人设计了程序让它们完成工作。机器人生产像药品、衣服、家具和汽垫车等等东西。没有废弃物、没有污染，也没有环境破坏。但是，这些公司必须培训他们的代表能在太空中生活和工作。他们必须在此监控机器人和生产过程。一旦货物齐备，就用工用太空船运送到地球。
我的思绪开始漫游。我能从事什么工作呢？当我想到这个奇妙的未来世界时，我兴趣倍

For anything you’re about to send：ask yourself，“Would I say this to the person’s face？” if the answer is no，rewrite and reread.__2__

假设你是从四川地震灾区来的一名高中学生，现借读于北京的光明中学，请以“Voice from a student in disaster area”为题写一篇文章。词数100左右。
【参考范文】
Voice from a student in disaster area
I am a student from Sichuan earthquake stricken area，and studying in Beijing Guangming Middle School now.I was sent to Beijing to study because my school has been destroyed in the earthquake.Although I’m far away from my hometown now，I am loved and cared for by the teachers and students here，and I really have a good time.

I can’t find proper words to express my thanks at this time.I have decided to study hard so that I can reward the people who have helped me.Period Two Learning about Language
Grammar：The Past Participle (3) as the Adverbial and Attribute
过去分词作状语和定语
1．过去分词作定语
单个过去分词作定语，常放在被修饰的名词之前；过去分词短语修饰名词，一般都放在所修饰的名词之后，在意义上相当于一个定语从句。
I have his written promise.我有他的书面承诺。
Those are finished products.那些是成品。
He is a man loved by all.他是个深受群众爱戴的人。
2．过去分词作状语
过去分词作状语，相当于一个状语从句，表明原因、时间、条件等。
(1)作原因状语
Tired by the trip，he soon fell asleep.
＝Because he was tired by the trip，he soon fell asleep.
Lost in thought，he almost ran into a car.
＝As he was lost in thought，he almost ran into a car.
(2)作时间状语
Seen from the hill，the city looks like a garden.
＝When the city is seen from the hill，it looks like a garden.
(3)作条件状语
Given more time，I would have worked out the problem.
＝If I have been given more time，I would have worked out the problem.
(4)作伴随状语
The teacher came in，followed by some students.
＝The teacher came in and was followed by some students.
注意：分词短语作状语时，通常与主句中的主语在逻辑上一致，但有时它也可以有自己独立的逻辑上的主语，这种结构称为独立主格结构。
Her grandfather being ill，she had to stay at home looking after him.
3．非谓语动词作定语的区别
(1)动名词作定语表示所修饰名词的用途。
a writing table＝a table for writing写字台
(2)现在分词一般式的主动语态作定语表示所修饰的人或物正在进行的动作(若为动作动词)，相当于进行时的主动语态的定语从句，或表示所修饰的人或物经常存在的一种状态(若为状态动词)，相当于一般时态的定语从句。
The boy playing the piano(＝The boy who is playing the piano) is my nephew.正在弹钢琴的那个男孩是我的侄子。
The building standing in the center(＝The building which stands in the center) is an experiment building.
坐落在中心的楼房是实验楼。
(3)现在分词一般式的被动语态作定语表示所修饰的人或物被动的正在进行的行为，相当于进行时的被动语态的定语从句。
The building being painted(＝The building which is being painted) will be our teaching building.
正在被粉刷的楼房将是我们的教学楼。
(4)不及物动词的过去分词作定语表示已经完成的行为，相当于完成时的主动语态的定语从句。
fallen leaves(＝leaves which have fallen) 落叶
developed countries(＝countries which have developed) 发达国家
(5)及物动词的过去分词作定语表示被动的发生过的行为，相当于一般时的被动语态的定语从句。
a building built last year(＝a building which was built last year) 去年所建的楼房
(6)不定式作定语表示还未发生的行为，相当于将来时态的定语从句。不定式作定语的常见类型有：
Sb. has sth.to do (do sth.的动作执行者是句中主语时用)；Sb.has sth.to be done.(do sth.的动作执行者不是句中主语，而是说话人时用)。
I have a composition to write.我有一篇作文要写。(write a composition的执行者是句中主语I)
I’m going to Tibet.Do you have anything to be taken there for your husband？我准备去西藏。你有没有要为你丈夫带到那儿去的东西？(take anything的动作执行者是说话人I)
4．非谓语动词作状语的区别
(1)不定式常作目的状语和结果状语：
①表情感的形容词(如glad，pleased，delighted，surprised等)后可接不定式作原因状语。
②作表语和宾语补足语的形容词或“形容词＋名词”后常可接不定式作状语，要注意此结构中常用不定式的主动语态表被动含义，而且不定式与句中主语(形容词或“形容词＋名词”作句中表语时)或宾语(形容词或形容词加名词作宾补时)有逻辑上的动宾关系。所以，不定式后不能再出现宾语，在必要时还须加上适当的介词才能与句中主语或宾语构成逻辑上的动宾关系。但在too...to结构和enough to结构中，形容词后的不定式主动和被动结构都可以使用。
The professor was surprised to see some country people seated at the back of the classroom.
看到一些乡下人坐在教室后边教授很吃惊。
English grammar is difficult to learn.
英语语法很难学。
Radioactive matter is dangerous to work with.
放射性物质操作起来很危险。
Some of the stars are too far away to see(＝to be seen)．
一些星星太遥远了看不见。
I find my companion hard to deal with.
我发现我的同事很难相处。
(2)现在分词和过去分词在句中可作伴随、方式、时间、条件、原因、让步等状语。作原因状语时，分词和不定式的区别是：不定式只表示引起某种情感的原因，常接在表情感的形容词后；而分词陈述的是干某事的原因。
We were shocked to see the boy was so badly treated.
看到那男孩被如此虐待，我们很震惊。
Not knowing what to do，I turned to him for advice.
因为不知道该怎么办，我向他求教。

Medical Center spokeswoman Kathy Stringer said Freeman,71，is seriously injured.The hospital is about 90 miles north of the accident scene.Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt.Ben William said Freeman was driving a 1997 Nissan Maxima which belongs to Demaris Meyer of Memphis when the car left the highway and flipped(翻滚)several times shortly before midnight Sunday.
“They hadn’t drunk alcohol or taken drugs，”William said.He said both Freeman and Meyer were wearing seat belts.It hasn’t been told whether the woman was seriously injured or not.Freeman was sent to the hospital in Tennessee by air.
Clay McFerrin，editor of the Sun Sentinel in Charleston，said he arrived at the accident scene on Mississippi Highway 32 soon after it happened about 5 miles west of Charleston，not far from where Freeman owns a home with his wife.
“They had to use tools to extract him from the vehicle，”McFerrin said.“He was conscious(神志清醒的)．He was talking and joking with some of the rescue workers.He also talked with the bystanders on the scene who tried to have a look at the actor.”
Freeman won an Oscar for his role in Million Dollar Baby.He was born in Memphis，Tennessee，but spent much of his childhood in the Mississippi Delta.He is a co owner of the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale.

Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto.But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t，strictly speaking，even adults
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival，tomorrow，in a setting any director might envy：Lincoln plete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards，the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers，except for the age of the participants：about 8 to 18.
“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids，” said Cori Gardner，managing director of Wingspan Arts，a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area.This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington，Virginia.“We want to make this a national event，” Ms.Gardner added.
The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B．B.King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005.“A lot of the material is really mature，” Ms.Gardner said，talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project，a media arts and leadership training group.“The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti Smoker is about the dangers of second hand smoke.Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ (移民) feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.”
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown.These include a music video and a full length film whose title is Pressures.

第一印象
太空邮件：liqiang299A@GreatAdventureSpaceSation.com15/11/3008(地球时间)
亲爱的爸爸妈妈：
我现在仍然不能相信我是在接受去年获得的这个奖励。我得不断提醒自己，我真的已经进入到公元3008年了。因为担心这次旅行，头几天我心里总是不踏实，结果我得了时间滞后症。这就与你乘坐飞机会产生时差反应相似，所不同的是，在你脑子里似乎会不断闪现以前的时光。因此，我一开始就感到神经过敏和心神不定。但是我的朋友兼导游王平很细心体贴，给了我几粒绿色药片，倒是挺起作用的。他父母的公司叫做“未来之旅”，以其技术高超而闻名。他们把我装在一个时间舱里，平安地把我送入了未来。
我仍旧记得我们被太空服务员一起叫到时间舱，爬上去进入一个小门。座位是很舒适的，喝了点镇静剂以后，我们的眼睛就闭上了，感到昏昏欲睡似的。时间舱在轻轻左右摇晃，我们放松地躺在那里做梦。几分钟以后，旅程结束，我们就到了。我仍然在地球上，但是进到了未来的一千年。我们会看到什么呢？
一开始新的环境让我很难忍受。空气似乎很稀薄，好像在混合的气体中剩下的氧气很少。由于缺乏新鲜空气，我感到头痛。正当我想努力调整适应新环境时，王平出现了。他告诉我，“把这个面罩戴上。它会使你感觉好得多。”他把面罩递给
我，敦促我马上走进附近的一个小房间，叫我休息。我立刻就感到舒服些了。没过多久，我就再次站立起来，跟着他去领取了一台由电脑驱动的汽垫车。这些汽垫车是在地面上方飘浮着的。只要在座椅上用力打弯或压下(操纵杆)，你就可以迅速地移动。王平系紧了我的安全带，教我怎样使用它。不久，我就可以飞得跟王平一样快了。可是，当我们到达一个看上去像是大市场的地方时，由于太多车子朝四面八方飞奔，我看不见王平了。他被卷入到这群车队中去了。就在这个时候我得到一次“时间滞后”的闪回，这样我就再次看到了似乎是2008年的那个地区。我这才懂得我被送到了未来，但却仍然在自己的家乡。就在这个时候，我又见到了王平，于是又跟在他后面飞去。
到了一幢看上去很奇怪的房子里，他把我带到一个明亮而洁净的大房间。墙是绿色的，地板是棕色的，灯光很柔和。突然墙壁移动了——原来是树形成的！后来我才发现，就是这些树的叶子为这栋房屋提供了最急需的氧气。然后王平在电脑荧屏上闪了一下开关，于是一个桌子和几把椅子就像变魔术那样从地板下面升了起来。“怎么不坐下来吃些东西呢”他说道，“你第一次作这样的时间旅行，可能会感到有些困难。你可以好好休息一下。今天没有任何出行计划。明天你还要准备参观几个地方。”说完这些，他把食物摆在桌子上，又从地板下取出一张床来。他离开后，我简单吃了饭，洗了个热水澡。实在累坏了，我溜上床很快就睡着了。
以后再谈吧！
你的儿子
