Gulangyu,
a
beautiful
island
was
successfully
listed
in
the
UNESCO
World
Heritage(世界文化遗产)
on
July
8th,
2017.
It’s
not
only
the
pride
of
my
hometown,
but
the
pride
of
the
whole
nation.
Gulangyu
is
separated
from
Xiamen
by
the
500-metre-wide
Egret
River(鹭江),
with
an
area
of
1.88
square
kilometers.
It’s
like
a
garden
on
the
water.
You
can
go
there
only
by
ships,
cars,
buses
and
bikes
are
not
allowed
to
run
on
the
island.
It
is
so
quiet
that
wherever
you
go,
you
can
hear
the
sound
of
playing
the
piano.
As
a
result
of
this,
it
is
called
“the
island
of
music”.
The
first
name
of
the
island
was
Yuan
Zhou
Zi.
In
the
Ming
Dynasty
it
was
changed
as
Gulangyu,
meaning
“drum
waves".
Because
the
holes
in
the
southwestern
reefs
hit
by
the
waves
make
sounds
like
the
drum
beating.
Today,
Gulangyu
is
listed
as
one
of
the
nation’s
major
travelling
places.
The
main
places
of
interest
here
include
the
Sunlight
Rock,
Shuzhuang
Park,
Gangzihou
Bathing
Beach
and
Memorial
Hall
to
Zheng
Chenggong
which
are
visited
by
millions
of
people
from
all
parts
of
the
country
and
the
world.
What’s
more,
the
buildings
and
food
are
popular
with
visitors.
Therefore,
I
hope
our
government
can
protect
the
fairyland
well,
especially
the
environment.

Researchers
find
that
a
positive
view
can
not
only
make
people
happy
in
spirits,
but
improve
people's
health
and
help
them
have
a
longer
life.
Studies
have
shown
that
people
who
hold
a
positive
outlook
will
have
proper
blood
pressure,
less
heart
disease,
better
weight
control
and
healthier
blood
sugar
levels.
In
a
study
of
more
than
4,
000
people
about
50
and
the
older,
Becca
Levy
and
Avni
Bavishi
at
the
Yale
School
of
Public
Health
found
that
having
a
positive
view
of
aging
can
have
a
good
influence
on
one's
health
and
longevity(寿命).
Levy
said
two
possible
mechanisms(机制)can
explain
the
reasons
of
the
findings
Psychologically(心理学上),
a
positive
view
can
build
up
one's
confidence,
decrease
stress
in
life
and
develop
proper
behaviors.
Physiologically(生理学上),
people
with
positive
views
of
aging
have
lower
levels
of
c-reactive
protein(C反应蛋白),
which
can
have
to
do
with
heart
disease
and
other
illnesses,
even
if
considering
possible
influences
like
age,
health
status,
sex,
race
and
education.
This
kind
of
people
also
live
longer
in
some
way.
In
conclusion,
we
should
hold
the
positive
point
of
view
in
our
daily
life.

view
will
_______.

2.
Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
true
about
people
with

They
will
have
lower
blood
pressure.

They
will
suffer
from
less
heart
disease.
C.
They
will
keep
healthier
blood
sugar
levels.

had
nothing
to
do
with
one's
spirit
D.
thought
aging
is
not
important
at
all
4.

their
theory
according
to
the
passage?

said
three
possible
mechanisms
could
explain
the
reasons.

He
talked
in
psychological
and
physiological
ways.

didn't
deal
with
one’s
confidence.

My
father
was
German,
but
he
Worked
in
England.
He
married
my
mother,
who
was
English.
Her
family
name
was
Robinson,
so
when
I
was
born
in
1632,
in
England,
they
called
me
Robinson,
after
her.
My
father
did
well
in
his
business
and
I
went
to
a
good
school.
He
wanted
me
to
get
a
good
job,
and
live
a
quiet,
pleasant
life.
But
I
wanted
adventure
and
an
exciting
life.
“I
want
to
be
a
sailor
and
go
to
sea",
I
told
my
mother
and
father.
They
were
very
unhappy
about
this.
“Please
don’t
go.
"my
father
said,
"You
won't
be
happy
you
know.
Sailors
have
a
difficult
and
dangerous
life.
"and
because
I
love
him,
and
he
was
unhappy,
I
tried
to
forget
about
the
sea.
But
I
couldn't
forget,
and
about
a
year
later,
I
saw
a
friend
in
town.
His
father
had
a
Ship
and
my
friend
said
to
me,”
we
are
sailing
to
London
tomorrow.
Why
don’t
you
come
with
us.”
On
September
1st,
1651,
I
went
to
Hull
and
the
next
day
we
sailed
for
London.
But,
a
few
days
later,
there
was
a
strong
wind.
The
sea
was
rough
and
dangerous,
and
the
ship
went
up
and
down
.
I
was
very
ill,
and
was
very
afraid.
“Oh,
I
don't
want
to
die!”
I
cried,“
I
want
to
live!
If
I
live,
I
will
go
home
and
never
go
to
sea
again!”
The
next
day
the
wind
stopped,
and
the
sea
was
quiet
and
beautiful
again.
Well,
Robinson,
my
friend
laughed,"
How
do
you
feel
now?
The
wind
wasn't
so
bad.”
“What!"
I
cried.
"It
was
a
terrible
storm.”
“Oh,
that
wasn't
a
storm,
"my
friend
answered,
"just
a
little
wind.
Forget
it,
come
and
have
a
drink.”
After
a
few
drinks
with
my
friend,
I
felt
better.
I
forgot
about
the
danger,
and
decided
not
to
go
home.
I
didn’t
want
my
friend
and
family
to
laugh
at
me!
I
stayed
in
London
for
some
time,
but
I
still,
wanted
to
go
to
the
sea.
So,
when
the
captain(船长)of
a
ship
ask
me
to
go
with
him
to
Guinea
in
Africa,
I
agreed,
And
so
I
went
to
the
sea
for
the
second
time.
It
was
a
good
ship,
and
everything
went
well
at
first,
but
I
was
very
ill
again.
Then
when
we
were
near
the
Canary
Islands,
a
Turkish
pirate(海盗)ship
came
after
us.
They
were
famous
thieves
of
the
sea
at
that
time.
There
was
a
long,
hard
fight,
but
when
it
finished,
we
and
the
ship
were
prisoners.
The
Turkish
captain
and
his
men
took
us
to
Sallee
in
Morocco.
They
wanted
to
sell
us
as
slaves(奴隶)in
the
market.
But
in
the
end,
the
Turkish
captain
decided
to
keep
me
for
himself,
and
took
me
home
with
him.
This
was
a
sudden
and
terrible
change
in
my
life.
This
Turkish
captain
was
now
my
master.

were
very
young.
Their

?Fred
said:
"Dancing
is
a
sweaty?job.
You
cannot
just
sit
down
and
do
it.
You
have
to
get
up
on
your
feet.
It
takes
time
to
get
a
dance
right,
to
create
something
memorable.
I
always
try
to
get
to
know
my
dance
so
well
that
I
do
not
have
to
think.”
In?1949,

Early
one
morning,
more
than
a
hundred
years
ago,
an
American
inventor
called
Elias
Howe
finally
fell
asleep．He
had
been
working
all
night
on
the
design
of
a
sewing
machine
but
he
had
run
into
a
very
difficult
problem:
It
seemed
really
hard
to
get
the
thread
to
run
smoothly
around
the
needle．
Though
he
was
tired,
Howe
slept
badly.
He
turned
and
turned.
Then
he
had
a
dream.
He
dreamed
that
he
had
been
caught
by
terrible
savages
whose
king
wanted
to
kill
him
and
eat
him
unless
he
could
build
a
perfect
sewing
machine.
When
he
tried
to
do
so,
Howe
ran
into
the
same
problem
as
before.
The
thread
kept
getting
caught
around
the
needle.
The
king
flew
into
the
prison
and
ordered
his
soldiers
to
kill
Howe.
They
came
up
towards
him
with
their
spears
(矛)raised.
But
suddenly
the
inventor
noticed
something.
There
was
a
hole
in
the
tip
of
each
spear.
The
inventor
woke
from
the
dream,
realizing
that
he
had
just
found
the
answer
to
the
problem.
Instead
of
trying
to
get
the
thread
to
run
around
the
needle,
he
should
make
it
run
through
a
small
hole
in
the
center
of
the
needle．This
was
the
simple
idea
that
finally
made
Howe
design
and
build
the
first
really
practical
sewing
machine．
Elias
Howe
was
not
the
only
one
that
found
the
answer
to
his
problem
in
this
way.
Thomas
Edison,
the
inventor
of
the
electric
light,
said
his
best
ideas
came
into
him
in
dreams.
So
did
the
great
physicist
Albert
Einstein.
Charlotte
Bronte
also
thought
in
her
dreams
during
writing
Jane
Eyre．
To
know
the
value
of
dreams,
you
have
to
understand
what
happens
when
you
are
asleep.
Even
then,
a
part
of
your
brain
is
still
working．This
unconscious(无意识的),
but
still
active
part
understands
your
experiences
and
goes
to
work
on
the
problems
you
have
had
during
the
day.
It
stores
all
kinds
of
information
that
you
may
have
forgotten
or
never
have
really
noticed.
It
is
only
when
you
fall
asleep
that
this
part
of
the
brain
can
send
messages
to
the
part
you
use
when
you
are
awake.
However,
the
unconscious
part
acts
in
a
special
way.
It
uses
strange
images(图像)
which
the
conscious
part
may
not
understand
at
first.
This
is
why
dreams
are
sometimes
called
“secret
messages
to
ourselves”.
1.
According
to
the
passage,
Elias
Howe
was
________．
the
first
person
we
know
of
who
solved
problems
in
his
sleep
much
more
hard-working
than
other
inventors
the
first
person
to
design
a
sewing
machine
that
really
worked
the
only
person
at
the
time
who
knew
the
value
of
dreams
2.
The
problem
Howe
was
trying
to
solve
was
________．
what
kind
of
thread
to
use
how
to
design
a
needle
which
would
not
break
where
to
put
the
needle
how
to
prevent
the
thread
from
getting
caught
around
the
needle
3.
Thomas
Edison
is
mentioned
because
________．
he
also
tried
to
invent
a
sewing
machine
he
got
some
of
his
ideas
from
dreams
he
was
one
of
Howe’s
best
friends
he
also
had
difficulty
in
falling
asleep
4.
What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“secret
messages
to
ourselves”
mean?
Strange
images
are
used
to
communicate
ideas
Images
which
have
no
meaning
are
used
We
can
never
understand
the
real
meaning
Some
specially
trained

(6)
Do
you
know
of
anyone
who
uses
the
truth
to
deceive
(欺骗)?
When
someone
tells
you
something
that
is
true,
but
leaves
out
important
information
that
should
be
included,
he
can
give
you
a
false
picture.
For
example,
some
might
say,
"I
just
won
a
hundred
dollars
on
the
lottery
(彩票).
It
was
great.
I
took
that
lottery
ticket
back
to
the
store
and
turned
it
in
for
one
hundred
dollars!"
This
guy's
a
winner,
right?
Maybe,
maybe
not.
We
then
discover
that
he
bought
$200
worth
of
tickets,
and
only
one
was
a
winner.
He's
really
a
big
loser!
He
didn't
say
anything
that
was
false,
but
he
left
out
important
information
on
purpose.
That's
called
a
half-truth.
Half-truths
are
not
technically
lies,
but
they
are
just
as
dishonest.
Some
officers
often
use
this
trick.
Let's
see
that
during
Governor
Smith's
last
term,
her
state
lost
one
million
jobs
and
gained
three
million
jobs.
Then
she
tries
another
term.
One
of
her
persons
who
don’t
support
her
says,
"During
Governor
Smith's
term,
the
state
lost
one
million
jobs!"
that's
true.
However,
an
honest
statement
would
have
been,
"During
Governor
Smith's
term,
the
state
had
a
net
gain
of
two
million
jobs."
Advertisers
will
sometimes
use
half-truths.
It's
against
the
law
to
make
false
statements
so
they
try
to
mislead
you
with
the
truth.
An
advertisement
might
say,
"Nine
out
of
ten
doctors
advised
their
patients
to
take
Yucky
Pills
to
cure
toothache."
It
fails
to
mention
that
they
only
asked
ten
doctors
and
nine
of
them
work
for
the
Yucky
Company.
This
kind
of
deception
happens
too
of
often.
It's
a
sad
fact
of
life:
Lies
are
lies,
and
sometimes
the
truth
can
lie
as
well.

An
old
man
walked
slowly
into
a
restaurant
with
his
cane
(拐杖).
His
old
jacket
and
shoes
made
him
unusual
that
day.
A
young
waitress
named
Mary
watched
him
move
towards
a
table
by
the
window.
She
ran
over
to
him,
and
said
with
a
smile,
"Here,
sir.
Let
me
give
you
a
hand.
"
Without
saying
a
word,
he
gave
her
a
smile.
She
pulled
the
chair
away
from
the
table
and
helped
him
sit
down.
Then
she
put
his
cane
against
the
table
so
that
he
could
reach
it.
In
a
soft,
clear
voice,
he
said,"Thank
you,
miss.
"
"You're
welcome,
sir,
"she
replied.
"I
will
be
back
in
a
moment,
and
if
you
need
anything,just
wave
at
me!
"
After
he
had
finished
a
good
meal.
Mary
brought
him
the
change.
She
handed
him
his
cane,
and
walked
with
him
to
the
front
door.
Holding
the
door
open
for
him,
she
said,
"
Come
back
and
see
us,
sir!
"The
old
man
turned
around
and
smiled.
When
Mary
went
to
clean
his
table,
she
was
shocked.
Under
the
plate,
she
found
a
business
card,
a
100-dollar
bill
and
a
note.
The
note
said,
"Dear
Mary,
I
respect
you
very
much,
and
you
respect
yourself,
too.
It
shows
the
way
you
treat
others.
You
have
found
the
secret
of
happiness.
"
In
fact,
the
old
man
was
the
owner
of
the
restaurant.
That
was
the
first
time
that
she,
or
any
of
his
waitresses,

You've
probably
seen
it
before-two
elderly
people
walking
hand
in
hand
down
the
street
and
looking
very
much
like
each
other.
They
look
so
much
alike
that
they
could
be
brother
and
sister.
Do
you
believe
that
people
who
live
together
for
many
years
would
look
alike?
It's
strange,
but
scientists
say
it's
true.
How
scientists
proved
it?
In
a
study,
scientists
found
young
couples
only
showed
similarity
by
chance.
However,
elder
couples
were
very
likely
to
look
like
each
other.
The
similarity
could
be
very
subtle(微妙)and
could
be
found
in
wrinkles
(皱纹)or
furrows,
etc.
Besides,
some
couples
look
far
more
alike
than
other
couples
The
scientists
thought
of
several
possible
reasons:
Diet.
"We
are
what
we
eat.
"As
couples
usually
share
the
same
diet,
will
they
probably
look
alike?
For
example,
if
both
partners
eat
a
high
fat
diet,
their
faces
will
tend
to
look
fat.
However,
the
scientists
ruled
this
out
(排除)
using
another
small
study.
Environment.
Will
elderly
couples
show
similarity
because
they
live
together
in
the
same
area
for
a
long
time?
The
environmental
factors
(因素
)
such
as
sunshine
and
wind
affect
the
skin
in
similar
ways.
The
scientists
ruled
this
possibility
out
as
well.
Empathy（移情作用）.
This
is
the
theory（理论）
the
scientists
believe
in．
Couples
grow
to
look
similar
because
they
are
empathizing
with
each
other.
They
copy
each
other’s
facial
expressions.
For
example,
if
one
partner
often
smiles
in
a
certain
way,
the
other
is
likely
to
copy
it.
In
this
way,
their
faces
share
similar
wrinkles
and
furrows.

Housework
is
an
endless
argument
between
lazy
husbands
and
their
hard-working
wives,
but
women
are
warned
not
to
expect
men
to
share
housework
any
time
soon
A
study
from
Oxford
University
has
found
it
seems
impossible
for
men
to
be
doing
an
equal
share
of
housework
before
2050.
Mothers
will
continue
to
shoulder
the
burden(负担)of
childcare
and
housework
for
the
next
forty
years,
largely
because
housework
such
as
cleaning
and
cooking
is
still
thought
of
to
be"womens
work”
The
gap(鸿沟)has
narrowed
slowly
over
the
past
40
years.
Women
expect
true
equality(平等).
But
what
makes
them
down
is
that
it
will
take
another
forty
years
before
it
is
achieved
The
research
found
that
in
the
northern
Europe,
the
burden
of
housework
is
shared
more
equally
between
men
and
women.
In
the
UK,
a
woman
spends
around
four
hours
and
forty
minutes
each
day
on
housework,
compared
with
two
hours
and
twenty-eight
minutes
for
men.This
is
an
improvement
from
the
1960s,
when
British
women
typically(典型的)spent
six
hours
a
day
on
housework,
while
men
spent
just
90
minutes
every
day.
But
progress
towards
housework
equality
appears
to
be
slowing
in
some
countries.Dr
Oriel
Sullivan.
a
research
reader,
said,
"we’ve
looked
at
what
is
influencing
the
equality
in
the
home,
and
we
have
found
that
certain
tasks
seem
to
be
given
according
to
whether
they
are
viewed
as"'men's
work'or'women's
work’."
Dr
Sullivan
said
cultural
attitudes(态度
)taught
at
school
may
decide
the
views
of
housework.
"At
school
it
is
much
easier
for
a
girl
to
be
a
tomboy,
but
it
is
much
more
difticult
for
a
boy
to
enjoy
cooking
and
dancing,

NASA
has
a
new
job
listing,
and
it’s
no
joke.
The
US
space
agency
is
looking
for
a
“joker”
to
join
their
planned
task
to
Mars.
A
task
to
Mars
is
no
laughing
matter.
On
average,
the
red
planet
is
140
million
miles
(225
million
kilometers)
away
from
Earth.
A
trip
there
would
take
around
eight
months
in
a
small
spacecraft.
And
Mars
has
a
communications
delay
(延迟)
of
20
minutes.
This
means
that
astronauts
will
have
to
wait
20
minutes
for
a
reply,
when
an
emergency
happens.
“When
you’re
living
with
others
in
a
crowded
space
for
a
long
period
of
time,
such
as
on
a
task
to
Mars,
problems
are
likely
to
occur,”
Jeffrey
Johnson,
a
scientist
at
the
University
of
Florida,
told
The
Guardian.
This
is
probably
why
NASA
wants
an
astronaut
with
a
sense
of
humor.
“These
are
people
that
have
the
ability
to
pull
everyone
together,”
Johnson
said.
In
stressful
situations,
perhaps
humor
is
a
way
to
know
we
aren’t
alone.
By
laughing
together,
we
share
our
stress.
Then
we
can
focus
on
our
jobs
instead
of
just
worrying.
There
are
other
examples
of
team
“clowns”.
One
example
is
the
journey
to
the
South
Pole
led
by
Norwegian
explorer
Roald
Amundsen.
It
was
a
difficult
journey,
full
of
danger.
Adolf
Lindstrom,
a
cook
at
Amundsen’s
team,
was
a
“clown”.
He
made
people
laugh
through
the
whole
journey.
Amundsen
later
wrote
that
Lindstrom
was
the
most
valuable
member
of
the
team.
But
if
you’re
hoping
that
your
favorite
TV
comedian
will
fly
to
Mars,
34
.
“Being
funny
won’t
be
enough
to
land
somebody
the
job,”
Johnson
said.
“They
also
need
to
be
an
excellent
scientist
and
engineer.”
Besides,
they
must
be
in
top
physical
condition.

Growing
up
in
Singapore
and
spending
a
number
of
years
in
Britain,
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
experiencing
Sundays
in
both
countries.
How
different
they
are!
"Sun"
-day:
Friend
or
enemy
One
can
easily
tell
Sundays
in
Singapore
from
those
in
Britain
by
looking
at
the
relationships
each
country
has
with
the
sun.
Singapore
is
a
tropical
(热带的)island
with
rainy
and
dry
seasons.
When
it
rains,
ifs
hot.
When
it
shines,
it
bums.
This
is
why
Singaporeans
prefer
to
spend
their
time
indoors.
These
days,
indoor
activities
like
tramp
lining
(蹦床)are
getting
popular
among
young
people.
They
don't
hate
the
sun,
but
they
don't
like
it
very
much
either.
In
Britain,
however,
sunny
days
are
few
and
people
try
to
make
use
of
them
as
much
as
they
can.
While
I
was
making
my
way
to
the
library
one
Sunday,
I
met
a
group
of
college
students
outside,
being
bathed
in
the
sun
as
they
wore
their
beach
clothes.
I
wish
I
could
have
joined
them.
Sunday
roast
(聚会)
This
is
one
of
the
most
British
things
about
Britain.
It
happens
every
weekend,
usually
in
the
late
afternoon.
It
is
a
meal
with
roasted
meat,
roasted
potatoes
and
roasted
or
boiled
vegetables.
Of
course,
we
eat
lunch
and
dinner
in
Singapore
on
Sundays.
But
the
“British
Sunday
roast"
isn't
just
about
the
food.
It's
also
a
time
to
get
together
with
family
and
friends.
One
way
or
another
(无论如何)，whether
you
prefer
tramp
lining
or
sunbathing,
Sundays
in
either
country
do
have
their
own
special
charm.
1.

When
you
build
a
house,
you
use
a
blueprint.
What’s
a
blueprint?
In
general,
a
blueprint
is
a
drawing
that
shows
how
to
put
a
house
together
with
many
different
parts.
DNA
is
the
blueprint
of
life.
But
building
a
living
thing
is
far
more
complex
(复杂)than
building
a
house.
It
takes
millions
of
years
for
nature
to
change
the
DNA
in
living
things
to
make
them
fit
the
world
they
live
in.
How
tall
are
you?
What
colour
are
your
eyes?
What
size
are
your
feet?
All
these
things
are
strongly
influenced
by
your
DNA
before
you
are
born!
DNA
is
fantastic:
Except
for
some
twins,
every
living
thing
has
its
own
unique(独特的)DNA.
Some
health
problems
can
be
caused
by
problems
in
your
DNA.
Scientists
can
look
for
these
problems
and,
sometimes,
help
you
before
you
become
sick.
In
the
future,
scientists
might
be
able
to
change
your
DNA.
There
are
copies
of
your
DNA
in
every
part
of
your
body.
For
example,
your
finger
has
the
same
DNA
as
your
hair.
You
have
your
unique
DNA.
But
from
your
DNA,
scientists
can
identify
(识别)not
only
you,
but
also-
people
who
are
related
(有关系的)to
you.
Your
parents
are
related
to
you,
and
you
have
their
DNA.
When
you
have
a
grandson
or
granddaughter,
he
or
she
will
have
your
DNA.
Your
DNA
has
billions
of
instructions
that
explain
why
you
are
the
way
you
are.
Ifs
one
of
the
most
amazing
things
on
the
earth.

Jane
Eyre（简爱）tells
the
story
of
a
good
and
independent
woman,
who
does
not
depend
on
others
and
does
not
give
up
even
facing
many
difficulties.
Jane
is
poor
and
an
orphan（孤儿）and
is
treated
badly
by
her
rich
aunt
and
cousins.
She
is
sent
away
to
a
school
where
the
pupils
are
treated
very
badly.
Jane
remains
strong,
because
she
knows
she
is
good.
And
when
she
had
the
chance
to
run
away,
she
does.
Jane
takes
a
job
in
the
house
of
a
rich
man
called
Mr
Rochester.
Jane
falls
in
love
with
Mr
Rochester
who
is
twenty
years
older
than
her.
Jane
is
sad
when
Rochester
brings
a
beautiful
woman
Blanche
to
his
house.
Jane
thinks
Rochester
will
marry
Blanche.
So
she
decides
to
leave.
Rochester
asks
her
to
stay
but
she
will
not.
She
tells
him
she
loves
him
and
says
that
she
is
poor
and
not
beautiful,
but
it
does
not
mean
that
she
has
no
feelings.
She
speaks
to
Rochester
as
a
‘spiritual
equal’.
Rochester
asks
Jane
to
marry
him
and
she
agrees,
but
on
the
day
of
the
wedding
she
finds
out
that
Rochester
is
already
married.
Jane
decides
to
leave
and
even
though
Rochester
says
his
wife
is
mad
and
begs
Jane
to
stay,
she
cannot.
Jane
will
not
stay
with
a
man
who
is
already
married.
She
has
no
family
to
protect
her
and
no
money,
but
she
is
proud
and
she
wants
to
do
the
right
thing.
When
Jane
Eyre
by
Charlotte
Bronte
was
first
published,
it
was
called
an
autobiography（自传）.
In
Jane
Eyre,
Charlotte
Bronte,
like
Charles
Dickens,
shows
the
double-standards
in
Victorian
Britain.
The
poor
and
especially
orphans
were
not
given
any
protection
by
the
law,
they
were
seen
as
animals
not
humans.
The
rich
lived
a
life
of
luxury(奢侈)
and
by
giving
a
little
money
to
charity
they
thought
they
had
done
their
best.

Have
you
ever
had
trouble
trying
to
choose
a
gift?
Perhaps
you
need
a
birthday
present
for
someone
who
is
hard
to
please.
How
about
clothing?
You
might
be
worried
about
choosing
the
wrong
size,
color,
or
style.
Books
or
DVDs?
You
may
not
know
enough
about
the
person’s
likes,
dislikes,
and
interests.
And
giving
money
may
not
seem
right.
Well,
how
about
a
gift
card?
A
gift
card
is
a
card
that
is
issued
(发行)
by
a
certain
store.
It’s
worth
a
certain
amount
money.
It
looks
like
a
credit
card
(信用卡),
but
it
actually
works
like
cash.
A
gift-card
holder
can
spend
the
amount
of
money
noted
on
the
card
in
the
store
that
issued
it.
These
cards
are
big
money
makers.
One
reason
is
that
when
gift-card
holders
go
to
the
store,
they
often
see
other
things
to
buy,
and
they
end
up
spending
more
money
than
the
gift
card
is
worth.
Gift
cards
are
becoming
popular
in
many
countries
around
the
world.
Why?
Cards
are
easy
to
buy
and
easy
to
use,
either
in
the
store
or
online.
The
receiver
can
select
his
or
her
own
gift,
and
the
giver
doesn’t
have
to
worry
about
finding
just
the
right
thing.
Receiving
a
gift
card,
however,
is
not
the
same
as
receiving
a
gift.
An
actual
gift
can
better
remind
us
of
the
giver’s
thought
and
effort
that
went
into
the
choice.
The
message
of
a
real
gift
is
more
likely
to
be,
“I
spent
some
time
trying
to
find
the
right
gift
for
you
because
I
care
about
you.”
Often
a
gift
card
doesn’t
pass
on
the
same
message
as
an
actual
gift.
It
may
seem
to
say,
“I
was
in
a
hurry.
I
didn’t
have
time
to
think
about
what
you
really
like.”
In
today’s
busy
world,
gift
cards
are
certainly
convenient.
However,
they
can
make
us
forget
the
real
purpose
of
giving
gifts,
which
is
to
build
a
closer
bond
relationship
between
the
gift-giver
and
the
gift-receiver.

(15)
For
a
long
time
being
happy
was
considered
something
that
just
happened,
and
there
was
nothing
special
about
it.
Now
we
know
that
getting
along
with
other
people
is
something
that
we
can
work
at.
It
is
possible
to
act
in
such
a
way
that
other
people
will
like
us
better.
One
way
is
being
unselfish,
not
wanting
everything
from
our
friends.
Another
way
is
to
look
for
good
points,
not
bad
points
in
other
people.
It
is
surprising
how
successful
this
treasure
hunt
can
be.
You
do
not
have
to
be
spineless
(优柔寡断的)
in
order
to
be
popular.
In
fact,
you
will
be
liked
or
loved
if
you
are
not
afraid
to
stand
up
for
your
rights
(正当行为).
But
do
it
politely
and
pleasantly.
Being
friendly
and
polite
to
your
group,
to
other
people
and
to
strangers
and
especially
to
those
who
do
not
look
important
or
do
not
interest
you
is
one
way
to
develop
a
good
character.
You
cannot
expect
to
be
perfect,
and
you
must
learn
not
to
be
unhappy
when
you
make
mistakes.
Everyone
makes
mistakes,
and
no
one
is
to
be
blamed
if
he
does
not
refuse
to
learn
from
them.
Many
young
people
become
discouraged
(灰心丧气的)
when
they
know
in
themselves
qualities
that
they
do
not
like—selfishness,
laziness,
and
other
unpleasant
qualities.
Just
remember
that
we
all
have
some
of
these
faults
(缺点)
and
have
to
fight
against
them.
At
the
same
time,
it
is
important
to
remember
that
while
you
are
probably
no
worse
than
others,
the
best
way
to
be
happy
is
to
think
yourself
above
other
people.
When
something
is
wrong,
it
is
good
sense
to
try
to
make
it
right.
Perhaps
you
do
not
like
a
teacher
or
a
classmate.
Try
to
see
why,
and
look
at
yourself,
too,
to
be
sure
that
you
are
not
doing
anything
to
make
that
person
dislike
you.
Some
day,
things
may
turn
out
all
right
when
you
have
to
learn
to
get
along
the
best
with
the
situation,
without
thinking
too
much
about
it.
Worrying
never
helps
in
a
situation
you
cannot
change.
1.
One
of
the
two
ways
the
writer
suggests
for
us
to
get
along
with
others
is
to
__________.
A.
work
hard
at
everything
we
do
B.
enjoy
the
best
share
of
everything
C.
look
for
treasure
in
order
to
be
successful
D.
pay
more
attention
to
their
strong
points
2.
If
a
person
wants
to
be
popular,
he
or
she
has
to
__________.
A.
be
polite
and
friendly
B.
give
up
some
rights
C.
get
away
arguing
with
other
people
D.
be
ready
to
change
his
or
her
character
3.
There
is
no
person
but
someone
should
be
blamed
if
he
or
she
__________.

is
modest
and
generous
B.
does
not
draw
a
lesson
from
his
or
her
own
mistake
C.
is
selfish
and
lazy
D.
is
very
happy
with
unpleasant
quality
4.

purpose
for

A.
train
you
to
be
perfect
B.
show
you
the
way
to
be
happy
C.
tell
you
how
to
act
when

We
were
locked
in
a
darkness
room,
Ned
tried
to
escape
from
the
submarine.
I
remembered
that
unforgettable
day.
When
morning
came,
we
saw
the
monster
behind
us.
After
fighting
against
it,
Conseil,
Ned
and
I
were
thrown
into
the
sea
and
stood
on
the
monster.
We
thought
it
was
a
giant
narwhal.
In
fact,
it
was
a
submarine.
A
few
seconds
later,
eight
men
came
out
and
pulled
us
into
this
room
on
the
submarine.
Suddenly,
two
men
entered.
The
tall
man
was
Captain
Nemo.
He
even
knew
everything
we
did
with
him.
He
asked
us
to
promise
not
to
escape.
Finally,
we
reached
an
agreement.
Captain
Nemo
showed
me
the
art
gallery
with
many
paintings
by
famous
artists
and
a
museum
that
contained
many
thousands
of
wonderful
shells,
pearls
and
other
treasures
from
the
sea.
I
had
never
seen
such
a
good
museum.
“What
a
wonderful
ship,
it
must
have
cost
a
fortune”
“That’s
true!”
he
replied.
“I
love
it
as
if
it
were
my
child.”
A
few
days
later,
Captain
Nemo
invited
me
and
my
friends
to
go
hunting
with
him
in
the
forests
of
Crespo
Island.
About
one
hundred
savages
followed
us
and
tried
to
come
into
the
ship.
Captain
Nemo
didn’t
worry
about
them.
When
they
put
their
hand
on
the
rail，they
all
fell
back
and
ran
away.
Captain
Nemo
had
put
electricity
into
the
rail.
Anybody
who
touched
it
would
receive
an
electric
shock.
One
day,
he
asked
me
to
follow
him
to
another
room.
A
man
lay
on
a
bed
with
a
very
bad
head
wound.
I
looked
at
it.
"What
happened?”
Captain
Nemo
answered,
“Something
broke
in
the
engine.
A
heavy
piece
of
metal
hit
his
head.”
He
is
going
to
die
soon,”
I
said.
“Nothing
can
save
him.”
Tears
filled
Captain
Nemo's
eyes,
and
he
asked
me
to
leave.
We
sailed
through
a
sea
of
milk
and
huge
armies
of
shell
sand,
sometimes
large
crowds
of
sharks.
I
realized
that
I
did
not
really
want
to
escape.
1.Which

Mike,
John
and
James
had
been
together
for
five
months.
Everyone
said
they
were
fantastic
but
they
still
had
not
got
a
paying
job.
The
three
guys
had
become
friends
in
music
class,
and
organizing
a
group
was
Mike's
idea.
Mike
played
the
guitar
and
acted
as
leader.
John
was
on
drums
and
James
was
on
the
saxophone.
They
got
together
just
for
fun
and
named
their
group
Playday.
But
when
some
fans
praised
them,
they
decided
to
turn
fun
into
profit(利润).
To
make
themselves
known,
Playday
volunteered
to
entertain
at
parties.
They
played
for
free
at
school.
Mike
felt
like
a
superstar!
They
practiced
hard
and
discussed
young
musicians
who
had
vaulted
into
prominence.
“The
Jackson
Five
were
kids,"
John
said.
“Michael
was
famous
like
a
rocket!"
James
shouted.
“We
can
do
it!"
Mike
encouraged
the
group.
After
months
of
keeping
spirits
high,
Mike
was
tired.
They
haven't
seen
even
a
cent.
Everyone
was
in
low
spirits.
They
decided
to
break
up
after
one
final
volunteer
job.
The
next
day,
they
were
to
perform
for
patients
at
the
Children's
Hospital
where
Mike's
mother
worked
as
a
nurse.
The
next
day
the
three
young
guys
set
up
in
the
hospital
hall,
and
the
nurses
brought
in
the
audience.
As
Playday
began,
Mike
could
feel
their
spirit
were
not
high.
Then
Mike
noticed
one
patient
sitting
in
her
wheelchair.
Her
expression
was
vacant(茫然),
but
when
music
filled
the
room,
this
doll
came
to
life.
She
sat
up
straight,
and
the
light
that
shone
in
her
eyes
lighted
up
something
in
Mike.
He
felt
the
excitement
he'd
been
missing.
As
Mike's
playing
caught
fire,
James
and
John
gained
energy.
After
the
performance,
the
three
guys
spent
time
with
the
patients.
Mike
spoke
to
the
girl
in
her
wheelchair.
“Wouldn't
it
feel
great
to
be
rich
and
famous?"
she
asked,
“Will
you
be
a
rock
star?"
“Probably
not,"
Mike
answered.
“But
I'll
never
give
up
my
music.
I
felt
happy
playing
for
you!"

Many
people
believe
the
glare(刺眼的光)
from
snow
causes
snow
blindness.
Yet,
with
dark
glasses
or
not,
they
find
themselves
suffering
from
headaches
and
watering
eyes,
and
even
snow
blindness
when
staying
in
snow
light
for
several
hours.
The
United
States
army
has
now
discovered
that
glare
from
snow
does
not
cause
snow
blindness
in
troops(军队)
in
a
snow-covered
country.
In
fact,
a
man’s
eyes
often
find
nothing
to
focus
on
in
a
broad
space
of
snow-covered
land.
So
his
eyes
keep
moving
over
the
whole
landscape
in
search
of
something
to
look
at.
Finding
something,
hour
after
hour,
the
eyes
never
stop
searching
and
the
eyeballs
become
tired
and
the
eye
muscles
ache.
Nature
makes
up
for
this
discomfort
by
producing
more
and
more
fluid
(液体)
which
covers
the
eyeball.
The
fluid
covers
the
eyeball
more
and
more
until
it
makes
eyes
difficult
to
see
clearly,
and
the
result
is
completely
snow
blindness,
even
though
for
a
short
time.
Experiments
led
the
army
to
a
simple
method
of
solving
this
problem.
Scouts
(侦察员)
ahead
of
the
troops
are
trained
to
shake
snow
from
evergreen
bushes,
creating
a
dotted
line
as
they
cross
completely
snow-covered
landscape.
Even
the
scouts
themselves
throw
lightweight,
dark-colored
objects
ahead
which
they
can
look
at,
too.
The
men
following
can
then
see
something.
Their
eyes
focus
on
a
bush
and
having
found
something
to
look
at,
stop
searching
the
snow-blanketed
landscape.
By
focusing
their
attention
on
one
object
at
a
time,
the
men
can
cross
the
snow
without
becoming
hopelessly
snow-blind
or
lost.
In
this
way
the
problem
of
crossing
a
continuous
white
land
is
solved.

2.Snow-blindness
can
be
avoided___________.
by
walking
ahead
and
keep
looking
around
by
making
up
for
the
discomfort
of
one’s
eyes
by
covering
the
eyeballs
with
more
and
more
tears
by
providing
the
eyes
with
something
to
look
at

(19)
Astronauts,
people
who
fly
into
space,
need
special
training.
First
they
go
to
Houston,
Texas.
That
is
the
home
of
the
Johnson
Space
Centre.
There
they
are
tested
to
see
how
strong
and
smart
they
are.?
One
of
the
first
tests
is
for
the
heart.
The
people
walk
or
run,
then
the
space
doctors
see
how
fast
their
hearts
are
beating.?
Another
important
test
is
performance.
In
this
test,
the
person
must
curl（蜷曲）his
body
up
in
a
ball.
When
he
is
in
that
position,
he
is
put
into
a
round
cloth
bag.
The
doctors
give
him
no
idea
how
long
he
will
have
to
stay
in
the
bag.
If
a
spaceship
broke
down
in
space,
the
astronauts
would
get
into
bags
like
this.
Then
they
would
have
to
wait
and
curl
up
in
darkness
until
help
could
arrive.
You
can
see
that
an
astronaut
must
not
be
afraid
of
tight
space
or
darkness.?
After
the
tests,
only
the
best
people
are
chosen
to
start
astronaut
training
in
a
training
centre.
The
astronauts
in
the
training
centre
learn
many
other
things.
They
learn
how
to
jump
out
of
a
moving
airplane.
They
learn
to
how
to
blow
up
a
lifeboat
and
get
into
it
while
they
are
in
the
ocean.
The
astronauts
also
have
to
learn
how
to
get
lifted
out
of
the
ocean
by
helicopter（直升机）.
That
may
look
fun,
but
it
can
be
dangerous.?
After
they
finish
training,
the
astronauts
continue
to
work.
They
stay
in
good
shape
by
running
and
doing
exercise.
They
read
about
their
special
jobs.
In
that
way
they
can
learn
new
facts
about
space
travel.?
Then
the
big
day
comes.
The
astronauts
are
told
to
go
to
work
on
a
flight
into
space.
The
crew
members（全体船员）get
to
know
each
other
first.
Then
they
can
learn
what
job
they
each
will
do.?

The
Tokyo
Olympic
Games
will
start
on
July
23,
2021
because
of
the
ongoing
COVID-19.The
Olympics
will
still
be
called
Tokyo
2020.
Japan,
the
host
country
of
the
2020
Olympic
and
Paralympic
Games,
has
promised
to
hold
“the
most
innovative
(创新的)
Games
ever
organized.”
On
July
24,
2019,
the
Olympic
Committee
(奥委
会)
expressed
its
first
bright
idea
—
medals
(奖牌)
were
made
from
old
phones
and
other
electronics.
The
idea
was
first
introduced
in
2016
by
a
group
of
young
Japanese
students.
They
wanted
to
raise
awareness
(意识)
of
the
serious
electronic
waste
produced
by
the
country’s
tech-loving
people
who
change
their
electronics
very
often.
Japanese
people
threw
away
650,000
tons
of
electronics
every
year,
only
about
100,000
tons
of
which
are
recycled.
To
help
the
environment
and
raise
the
awareness,
the
Olympic
Committee
started
the
“Everyone’s
Medal”
program
in
February
2017.
The
program
encouraged
people
to
drop
off
used
electronics
at
specific
location
bins
set
up
by
Japan’s
Environmental
Sanitation
Center.
It
seems
to
be
hard
to
gather
the
8
tons
of
materials
needed
to
make
the
5,000
Olympic
and
Paralympic
medals.
However,
they
had
nothing
to
worry
about.
By
the
time
the
collection
ended
in
March
2019,
around
79,000
tons
of
used
cellphones
and
other
small
electronics
had
been
collected.
In
total,
the
program
got
32
kilos
of
gold,
3,500
kilos
of
silver,
and
2,200
kilos
of
bronze
一
more
than
enough
to
make
every
medal.
The
Olympic
Committee
hopes
the
Tokyo
2020
medals
will
help
raise
awareness
of
the
alarming
increase
in
electronic
waste
—
not
just
in
Japan
but
worldwide
—
and
cause
people
to
rethink
whether
they
need
to
change
their
electronics
unnecessarily.
As
Kohei
Uchimura,
who
got
three
Olympic
gold
medals,
said:
“Tokyo
2020
Olympic
and
Paralympic
medals
will
be
made
out
of
people’s
thoughts
for
avoiding
waste.
I
think
there
is
an
important
message
in
this
for
the
future.”
Though
Japan
is
the
first
Olympic
host
country
to
make
all
the
medals
using
metals
from
used
electronics,
it
is
not
the
first
to
think
of
the
idea.
Brazil
made
about
30%
of
the
silver
and
bronze
medals
for
the
2016
Summer
Olympics
from
recycled
materials.
1.

recyclable
waste
bins
C.
kitchen
waste
bins

specific
location
bins
3.

(21)
Real
policemen
can
hardly
tell
any
similarity
between
their
lives
and
what
they
see
on
TV.
The
first
difference
is
that
a
policeman’s
real
life
is
almost
around
criminal
law.
He
has
to
know
exactly
what
actions
are
crimes
and
what
can
be
used
to
prove
someone
guilty
and
lead
him
into
prison.
He
has
to
know
nearly
as
much
law
as
a
professional
lawyer,
and
what
is
more,he
has
to
apply
it
on
his
feet,
in
the
dark
and
rain,
running
down
a
street
after
someone
he
wants
to
talk
to.
Little
of
his
time
is
spent
in
chatting.
He
will
spend
most
of
his
working
life
typing
millions
of
words
on
thousands
of
forms
about
hundreds
of
sad,
unimportant
people
who
are
guilty
of
stupid
crimes.
Most
television
crime
drama
is
about
finding
the
criminal:as
soon
as
he's
arrested,
the
story
is
over.
In
real
life,
finding
a
criminal
is
seldom
much
of
a
problem.
Except
in
very
serious
cases
like
murders
and
terrorist
attacks,
only
a
little
effort
is
spent
on
searching.
Having
made
an
arrest,
a
policeman
really
starts
to
work.
He
has
to
prove
his
case
so
that
he
often
has
to
look
for
a
lot
of
different
clues.
A
third
big
difference
between
the
drama
policeman
and
the
real
one
is
the
unpleasant
pressures:
first,
as
members
of
a
police
force,
they
always
have
to
behave
completely
according
to
the
law.
Secondly,
as
expensive
public
servants,
they
have
to
get
results.
They
can
hardly
ever
do
both.
Most
of
the
time
some
of
them
have
to
break
the
rules
in
small
ways.
If
a
policeman
has
to
deceive
the
world,
the
world
often
deceives
him.
Hardly
anyone
he
meets
tells
him
the
truth.
And
most
policemen
feel
the
separation
between
themselves
and
the
rest
of
the
world
is
deepened.
Most
citizens,
social
workers,
doctors,
law-makers,
and
judges
are
in
some
ways
simple-minded,
they
suggest
not
punishing
the
criminals
in
a
very
strict
way
in
the
hope
that
this
will
make
them
reform.
The
result,
most
policemen
feel
is
that
nine-tenths
of
their
work
is
re-catching
people
who
should
have
stayed
prison.
This
makes
them
feel
rather
bad.

My
best
friend
Jenny
and
I
got
to
the
mall
for
shopping.
She
held
up
a
white
sweater
and
matching
skirt.
“Do
you
like
this?”
she
asked.
“It’s
great,”
I
said.
Jenny
nodded
and
continued
looking
while
I
moved
about,
touching
the
beautiful
clothes.
“I’ll
try
this
on.”
Jenny
walked
towards
the
dressing
room.
After
a
while,
she
came
out
in
the
outfit(一套衣服).
She
looked
beautiful.
I
sighed.
Part
of
me
wanted
to
say
how
good
she
looked,
but
another
part
stopped
the
words
coming
out.
Jenny
was
in
such
good
shape
that
she’d
look
good
in
the
outfit.
Sometimes,
I
regretted
choosing
a
best
friend
who
was
so
pretty.
God,
why
can’t
I
be
the
one
with
the
rich
parents
and
the
great
look?
More
and
more,
I
was
envious
of
her.
“Well,
Teresa,
what
do
you
think?”
Jenny
asked
more
than
once.
“Do
you
like
it?’’
The
outfit
looked
great
on
her,
but
I
lied,
“Not
really.
I
think
you
need
something
with
more
colors.”
“You
think
so?"
Jenny
said
doubtfully.
“Just
believe
me.
We’ll
find
something
better,
"I
told
her,
pushing
her
back
into
the
dressing
room.
“You
just
can’t
buy
the
first
thing
you
see.”
I
did
my
best
to
get
Jenny
out
of
the
store,
away
from
that
outfit.
As
we
left,
Jenny
gave
the
sweater
one
last
look.
Just
down
the
mall,
we
passed
a
yogurt
place.
‘‘My
treat,
’’Jenny
said,
pulling
out
her
wallet.
I
could
never
say
no
to
chocolate,
so
we
got
some
and
sat
down
at
a
table.
As
Jenny
talked
without
stopping
about
a
million
things,
I
thought
about
my
feelings
toward
her.
Those
feelings
weren’t
kind.
Sitting
there,
Jenny
was
attractive
not
just
because
of
her
good
luck,
but
more
because
of
her
kindness.
Treating
me
to
chocolate
was
far
from
her
only
show
of
generosity.
She
also
let
me
drive
her
car
and
borrow
her
clothes.
Finishing
our
chocolate,
we
headed
for
the
next
clothing
store.
‘‘Look
at
that
red
sweater.’’
Jenny
said
as
we
passed
the
window.
‘‘It
would
be
perfect
for
you.
Soon
maybe
you’ll
have
enough
by
saving
your
babysitting
money
to
buy
something
like
that.”
A
few
minutes
earlier,
all
I
had
heard
was
about
saving
my
babysitting
money.
I
had
hated
the
fact
that
Jenny
could
ask
her
parents
for
anything,
and
they’d
buy
it
for
her.
This
time,
though,
I
heard
more.
I
heard
the
voice
of
someone
who
loved
and
cared
me
for
who
I
was.
I
needed
to
express
the
same
to
her.

chocolate.

in

light.
