（一）
Old
George
selected
his
food
in
the
supermarket
more
carefully
than
NASA
chose
its
astronauts.
When
he
left
the
cashier,
he
was
happy
to
think
that
he
had
saved
80
cents
today.
At
the
exit,
the
cold
wind
made
him
think
of
his
gloves.
He
looked
for
them
in
his
coat
and
pants
but
could
not
find
them
anywhere.
He
had
bought
the
black
gloves
at
a
good
price,
for
just
$
35,
years
ago.
They
were
soft
and
very
comfortable.
He
had
taken
great
care
of
them.
So
they
were
in
good
condition.
George
looked
calm
on
his
face
but
felt
mad
inside.
He
went
into
the
store
again.
He
followed
the
same
route
he
had
walked
before.
Several
minutes
of
searching
turned
out
to
be
useless.
His
black
gloves
were
gone.
"People
have
changed,
"he
said
to
himself.
"Years
ago,
if
somebody
picked
up
something
lost,
they
would
give
it
back.
"He
went
over
to
the
cashier
to
ask
if
she
had
received
any
lost
gloves,
but
she
said
no.
He
finally
walked
out
into
the
street.
A
few
days
later,
poor
George
decided
to
buy
another
leather
pair
of
gloves.
Before
getting
on
the
subway,
he
stepped
into
the
supermarket
again
to
see
if
by
any
chance
his
gloves
had
been
returned
to
the
lost
and
found
office.
"What
color
are
they?"
the
woman
in
the
office
asked.
"Black,
"he
answered.
She
looked
into
her
drawer
and
took
out
of
a
pair
of
man's
leather
gloves.
"Are
they?"
"Yes!
Those
are
mine,
"
George
exclaimed,
his
eyes
full
of
joy.

（二）
The
Amazing
Spider
Man
Spider
Man
is
a
hero.
People
got
to
know
the
hero
through
the
Spider
Man
movie
series.
Now,
a
new
Spider
Man
movie
is
coming
to
our
eyes.
It
has
a
new
name
called
The
Amazing
Spider
Man.
A
new
director
called
Marc
Webbis
directed
the
movie
and
a
new
actor,
Andrew
Garfield,
played
Spider
Man.
The
Amazing
Spider
Man
is
also
about
the
story
of
Peter
Parker,
a
high
school
student.
His
parents
left
him
when
he
was
a
boy,
and
he
was
raised
by
his
Uncle
Ben
and
Aunt
May.
Like
most
teenagers,
Peter
is
trying
to
figure
out
who
he
is
and
how
he
got
to
be
the
person
he
is
today.
As
Peter
finds
a
briefcase
that
belonged
to
his
father,
he
begins
to
find
out
why
his
parents
disappeared.
The
discovery
of
his
father’s
secret
will
shape
his
destiny(命运)
of
becoming
“Spider
Man”.
Peter
will
make
his
choices
to
use
his
powers
and
become
a
hero.
Unlike
the
former
one,
the
new
movie
focuses
on
Spider
Man
developing
his
abilities
in
high
school,
as
well
as
discovering
the
mystery(秘密)
of
his
parents,
or
at
least
what
happened
to
his
father.
The
movie
is
going
to
come
out
on
July
3,
2012
in
3D．

5．(the
introduction
of)
a
new
film
（三）
One
young
excellent
person
was
trying
to
find
a
better
job
in
a
big
company.
It
was
the
manager
who
would
make
the
final
decision.
The
manager
discovered
that
the
young
man
did
an
excellent
job
in
his
college,
which
interested
him
a
lot.
The
manager
asked,
“Who
paid
for
your
college?”
The
young
man
answered,
“My
father
passed
away
when
I
was
one
year
old,
so
it
was
just
my
mother.”
“What
did
your
mother
do?”
The
manager
seemed
surprised.
“She
is
a
clothes
cleaner,”
the
young
man
answered,
with
no
feeling.
“Have
you
ever
helped
your
mother
wash
some
clothes
before?”
“Never.
My
mother
always
wanted
me
to
study
and
read
more
books.
She
could
wash
clothes
faster
than
me,”
the
young
man
seemed
puzzled
when
answering.
“Well,
now
I
need
you
to
do
something.
When
you
go
back
home
today,
clean
your
mother’s
hands
and
see
me
tomorrow.”
The
young
man
was
happy
when
hearing
this
because
he
felt
that
his
chance
of
getting
the
job
was
great.
When
he
went
home,
he
happily
asked
his
mother
to
let
him
clean
her
hands.
His
mother
felt
strange
but
happy.
With
mixed
feelings,
she
showed
her
hands
to
her
kid.
The
young
man
cleaned
his
mother’s
hands,
with
tears
falling.
It
was
the
first
time
he
noticed
that
his
mother’s
hands
were
so
wrinkled
(皱的),
and
there
were
so
many
wounds(伤痕).
This
pair
of
hands
enabled
him
to
go
through
college.
This
pair
of
hands
was
the
price
that
his
mother
had
to
pay
for
his
life
and
his
future.
The
next
morning,
the
manager
asked
the
young
man,
“Now
tell
me
what
you
learned
yesterday.”
After
hearing
what
he
said,
the
manager
knew
the
young
man
had
learned
his
lesson.
“This
is
the
man
whom
I
am
looking
for.
We
want
you
to
be
our
member.”

the
young
man
do
quite
well
in
college?
________,

paid
for
the
young
man’s
college?

4．What
did
the
manager
ask

young
man
to
do
when
he
went
home?
__________________________________________________.
5．Why
did
the
mother
feel
strange
but
happy
when
her
son
wanted
to
wash
her
hands?
__________________________________________________.
6．The
young
man
had
learned
his
lesson.
What
can
you
learn
from
his
lesson?
__________________________________________________.
Keys:
1.Yes，he
did.
2.His
mother.
3.Because
his
mother
always
wanted
him
to
study
and
read
more
books.
His
mother
could
wash
clothes
faster
than
him.
4.To
clean
his
mother’s
hands.
5.Because
it
was
the
first
time
his
son
cleaned
her
hands./Because
his
son
never
cleaned
her
hands
before.
6.He
learned
that
his
mother
had
done
a
lot
of
things
for
him
and
never
asked
for
reward.
He
should
be
thankful
to
his
mother
and
take
good
care
of
his
mother
from
then
on.
（四）
Reading
newspapers
is
a
convenient
way
to
get
the
daily
news.
They
are
not
expensive,
and
we
can
buy
them
at
gas
stations,
supermarkets
and
newsstands.
However,
newspapers
were
not
always
so
easy
to
get
until
Johannes
Gutenberg
invented
the
printing
press
(印刷机)
in
the
fifteenth
century.
It
made
copies
by
making
a
piece
of
paper
across
metal
type
(金属活字印刷).
There
is
black
ink
on
it.
That’s
why
“the
press”
not
only
means
the
machine
that
prints
the
newspaper,
but
also
newspapers
themselves.
The
term
“newspaper”
was
first
introduced
during
the
17th
century,
and
the
first
newspaper
was
printed
in
Germany.
Before
people
got
into
the
habit
of
buying
their
own
copies,
a
single
copy
was
posted
in
a
public
place
on
a
wall
or
notice
board.
Newspapers
were
not
designed
very
beautifully
at
first.
Today,
newspapers
contain
much
more
than
a
record
of
the
day’s
events.
There
are
sections
for
fashion,
food,
sports,
cartoons
and
games.
Newspapers
are
a
source
of
information
and
entertainment.
For
hundreds
of
years,
printed
newspapers
were
very
popular.
However,
in
the
21st
century,
printed
newspapers
are
starting
to
disappear.
Four
hundred
years
ago,
there
were
not
many
newspapers
because
they
could
not
be
printed
quickly,
and
many
adults
didn’t
even
know
how
to
read.
Today
tablets,
phones,
and
the
Internet
are
replacing
(代替)
newspapers
because
it
is
easier
and
cheaper
to
read
the
news
online.
1．Newspapers
were
easy
to
get
in
the
fifteenth
century,
weren’t
they?
_______________________________________________________________________.
2．Where
was
the
first
newspaper
printed?
_______________________________________________________________________.
3．How
was
a
newspaper
made
after
Gutenberg
invented
the
printing
press?
_______________________________________________________________________.
4．How
many
newspaper
sections
are
mentioned
in
the
passage?
_______________________________________________________________________.
5．What
happened
to
printed
newspapers
in
the
21st
century?
_______________________________________________________________________.
6．What
do
you
think
of
newspapers?
Why?
I
think
newspapers
are
__________
because

Keys:
1．Yes,
they
were.
2．In
Germany.
3．By
making
a
piece
of
paper
across

type.
4．Five
sections.

newspapers
are
starting
to
disappear.

offer

answer

Students
in
the
US
don’t
begin
their
spring
break
at
the
same
time.
It
depends
on
where
they
live.
While
students
from
one
town
are
on
vacation,
their
neighbours
in
the
next
town
may
have
classes
as
usual.
You
may
have
heard
of
it
from
many
hit
US
TV
shows
and
films.
It’s
usually
in
the
middle
of
March,
when
characters
on
shows
like
Gossip
Girl
get
a
week
off
from
classes,
go
to
the
beach
and
throw
big
parties.
It’s
spring
break—or
“party
time”!
Unlike
our
semester
(学期),
which
starts
in
late
February
or
early
March
this
year.
American
schools,
ranging
from
kindergartens
to
college,
give
students
one
to
two
weeks
off
school.
College
students
often
take
planes
to
places
like
Florida
or
Cancun,
Mexico.
They
relax
on
the
beach,
enjoy
cold
drinks
and
get
a
tan
(晒黑的肤色).
Younger
kids
take
trips
with
their
parents,
visiting
a
new
state
or
even
a
new
country.
Sometimes
teachers
lead
overseas
trips
for
groups
of
students.
On
a
ten-day
trip,
for
example,
students
may
go
on
a
tour
through
Spain,
France,
and
Italy,
which
gives
them
a
great
chance
to
see
different
parts
of
the
world.
Having
a
“staycation”,
which
means
being
a
tourist
in
your
own
city,
is
another
popular
trend.
You
can
visit
local
art
galleries,
museums
or
have
a
big
meal
in
a
nice
restaurant.
For
those
who
are
not
in
the
mood
to
go
out,
spring
break
is
a
good
time
to
catch
up
with
hit
TV
series
or
play
video
games.
There
are
also
students
who
want
a
different
kind
of
spring
break
experience.
Instead
of
playing,
they
choose
to
do
community
service,
help
with
disaster-hit
areas
and
do
other
volunteering
work.
No
matter
how
they’ve
spent
the
break,
one
thing
is
for
true--students
return
to
school
feeling
refreshed
(恢复活力的)
and
ready
to
finish
the
school
year.
1．Do
students
in
the
US
begin
their
spring
break
at
a
different
time?
2．How
long
does
the
spring
break
last?
3．Where
do
the
college
students
often
go
during
the
spring
break?
4．What
do
students
do
if
they
choose
to
have
a
“staycation”?
5．What
can
students
do
if
they
want
a
different
kind
of
spring
break
experience?
6．If
you
have
a
spring
break,
how
will
you
spend
it?
Why?
Keys:
1．Yes,
they
do.
2．One
to
two
weeks.
3．They
go
to
the
places
like
Florida
or
Cancun,
Mexico.
/
They
go
to
the
beach.
4．They
visit
local
art
galleries,
museums
or
have
a

meal
in
a

5．They

do
community
service,

areas
and

volunteering
work.

It
was
a
busy
morning
about
8:30,
when
an
elderly
gentleman
came
to
the
hospital.
I
heard
him
saying
to
the
nurse
that
he
was
in
a
hurry
for
an
appointment
at
9:30
a.m..
The
nurse
had
him
take
a
break
in
the
waiting
area,
telling
him
it
would
be
at
least
40
minutes
before
the
doctor
would
be
able
to
see
him.
I
saw
him
looking
at
his
watch
and
decided,
since
I
was
not
busy
-
my
patient
didn't
turn
up
at
the
appointed
hour,
I
would
examine
his
wound.
While
taking
care
of
his
wound,
I
asked
him
if
he
had
another
doctor's
appointment.
The
gentleman
said
no
and
told
me
that
actually
he
needed
to
go
to
the
nursing
home
to
eat
breakfast
with
his
wife.
He
told
me
she
had
been
there
for
a
while
and
she
had
a
special
disease.
I
asked
if
she
would
be
worried
if
he
was
a
bit
late.
He
replied
that
she
no
longer
knew
who
he
was,
and
that
she
had
not
been
able
to
recognize
him
for
five
years.
I
was
surprised,
and
asked
him,
"And
you
still
go
every
morning,
even
though
she
doesn't
know
who
you
are?"
He
smiled
and
said,
"She
doesn't
know
me,
but
I
know
who
she
is."
I
had
to
hold
back
tears
as
he
left.
Now
I
realize
that
in
a
marriage,
true
love
means
acceptance
(接纳）.
The
happiest
people
don't
necessarily
have
the
best
of
everything;
they
just
treasure
the
best
of
everything
they
have.
Don't
wait
for
a
storm
to
pass,
learn
how
to
dance
in
the
rain.
1．The
elderly
gentleman
had
an
appointment
at
8:30,
didn't
he?

It’s
been
more
than
8
years
since
I
moved
from
the
US
to
Beijing.
At
that
time,
my
parents
have
grown
older,
just
as
I
have.
When
I
went
off
college,
we
lived
in
different
cities,
but
we
still
stayed
in
touch
by
phone
and
email.
It
was
easy
to
call
up
my
mom
and
catch
up
with
her.
But
living
in
Beijing
has
made
it
a
it
more
difficult.
You
see,
we’re
separated(分开)not
only
by
distance
,
but
also
by
time.
My
hometown
is
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
planet
from
Beijing---it’s
a
12-hour
difference.
This
means
that
when
suitable
time
to
contact
my
family.
But
we
make
it
work
anyway.
We
just
try
to
choose
times
that
are
convenient
for
both
of
us.
This
means
I
usually
call
my
mom
late
in
the
evening,
when
she’s
taking
her
lunch
break.
We
talk
about
_________________
in
our
lives.
It’s
nice
to
check
in
with
her
and
see
how
she’s
doing.
And
of
course,
I
try
to
visit
home
from
time
to
time.
About
once
every
other
year,
I’ll
fly
back
to
US
to
see
my
parents
and
sisters
for
the
holidays.
It’s
rare
for
us
to
get
the
whole
family
together-but
when
we
do,
we
have
a
lot
of
fun.
Like
many
other
foreigners
living
in
China,
I
do
miss
my
family.
We
try
to
stay
in
touch
as
often
as
we
can.

When
Paul
was
a
boy
growing
up
in
Utah,
he
happened
to
live
near
a
copper
smelter,
and
the
chemicals
that
poured
out
had
made
a
wasteland
out
of
what
used
to
be
a
beautiful
forest.
One
day
a
young
visitor
looked
at
this
wasteland
and
called
it
an
awful
area.
Paul
knocked
him
down.
From
then
on,
something
happened
inside
him.
Years
later,
Paul
was
back
in
the
area,
and
he
went
to
the
smelter
office.
He
asked
if
they
had
any
plans
or
if
they
would
let
him
try
to
bring
the
trees
back.
The
answer
from
that
big
industry
was
"No".
Paul
then
went
to
college
to
study
the
science
of
plants.
He
told
the
teacher
about
his
plans.
Unfortunately
his
teacher
says,
"It
will
be
a
waste
of
your
time
to
try
to
do
it."
Everyone
knew
that,
he
was
told.
Even
if
he
was
knowledgeable
as
he
had
expected,
he
wouldn't
get
his
idea
accepted.
Paul
later
got
married
and
had
some
kids.
But
this
dream
would
not
die.
And
then
one
night
he
did
what
he
could
with
what
he
had.
Under
the
cover
of
darkness,
he
went
to
secretly
into
the
wasteland
and
started
planting.
Every
week,
he
made
his
secret
journey
into
the
wasteland
and
planted
trees
and
grass.
For
fifteen
years
he
did
this
against
the
common
sense.
Slowly
rabbits
appeared.
Later
the
company
actually
hired
Paul
to
do
what
he
was
already
doing.
Now
the
place
is
covered
with
fourteen
thousand
acres
of
trees
and
grass
and
bushes,
and
Paul
has
received
almost
every
environmental
award
Utah
has.
It
took
him
so
many
years
until
his
hair
turned
white,
but
he
managed
to
keep
that
impossible
promise
he
made
to
himself
as
a
child.

Once,
a
student
complained
to
his
teacher
about
his
unhappy
life.
The
teacher
decided
to
teach
him
a
lesson.
One
day,
he
asked
the
student
to
get
some
salt
and
a
glass
of
water.
The
student
returned
with
a
glass
of
clean
water
and
a
handful
of
salt.
The
teacher
asked
the
young
man
to
put
the
salt
into
the
glass
and
drink
it.
"How
does
it
taste?”
the
teacher
asked.
"It
tastes
bitter
(味苦的),”
the
student
replied.
The
teacher
didn't
say
anything
else,
but
asked
the
young
man
to
get
the
same
amount
(数量)
of
salt
and
follow
the
teacher
to
a
nearby
lake.
"Put
the
salt
into
the
lake,”
the
teacher
said.
The
young
man
did
what
the
teacher
said.
"Now,
taste
the
water
from
the
lake,”
the
teacher
said.
As
the
water
dropped
down
the
young
man’s
chin,
the
teacher
asked,
“How
does
it
taste?”
"Fresh
and
a
bit
sweet,”
the
student
said.
"Do
you
taste
the
salt?”
the
teacher
asked.
"No,”
the
young
man
shook
his
head.
The
teacher
sat
beside
the
young
man
and
said,
“The
pain
of
life
is
like
salt
—
no
more,
no
less.
However,
the
amount
of
bitterness
you
taste
depends
on
the
container
(容器)
you
put
the
pain
in.”
The
amount
of
pain
in
life
stays
exactly
the
same.
So
when
you
are
in
pain,
the
only
thing
to
do
is
to
open
up
the
mind.
Stop
being
a
glass,
become
a
lake.

taste?
4．What
does
the
salt
mean
in
the
story?

Many
countries
use
an
animal
to
show
their
national
spirit
and
character.
For
six
years,
the
members
of
Congress(国会)of
the
United
States
held
an
disagreement
about
what
the
national
emblem(国徽)should
be.
It
wasn't
until
1782
at
the
Second
Continental
Congress
(第二次大陆会议)that
the
bald
eagle(秃鹰)
was
finally
chosen
to
represent
the
new
nation.
The
Founding
Fathers
chose
the
bald
eagle
as
the
Great
Seal
(国玺)
of
the
United
States.
Ever
since
then,
this
bird
has
represented
the
spirit
of
freedom
and
democracy(民主).
The
eagle
also
appears
on
the
seals
of
many
branches
and
departments
of
the
United
States
government.
But
one
of
the
Founding
Fathers,
Benjamin
Franklin
didn't
agree
with
the
choice.
"The
bald
eagle
is
a
bird
of
bad
moral
character;
like
those
among
men
who
live
by
robbing,
he
argued.
Franklin
wanted
the
turkey
as
the
country’s
national
bird.
He
said,
the
turkey
is
a
much
more
respectable
bird
and
a
true
native
of
America.
Not
all
of
Congress
shared
Franklin’s
ideas.
The
bald
eagle
was
chosen
as
the
country’s
national
bird
because
of
its
long
life,
great
strength,
and
noble
looks,
And,
unlike
other
eagles,
the
bald
eagle
was
indigenous(本地的)only
to
North
America.
The
bald
eagle
is
a
large,
powerful,
brown
bird
with
a
white
head
and
tail.
It
has
been
the
national
bird
of
the
United
States
since
1782,
when
it
was
placed
with
outspread
wings
on
the
Great
Seal
of
the
country.
It
appears
In
many
government
offices
and
on
official
documents，
making
it
the
most
pictured
bird
in
all
of
America.
The
eagle
appears
on
the
presidents
flag
and
billions
of
one-dollar
bills
The
bald
eagle
is
a
major
symbol
of
democracy,
standing
for
American
values
like
freedom
,
courage
,
and
strength.
It
has
appeared
in
American
art,
music,
history,
literature,
and
culture.
So
the
bald
eagle
is
very
important
to
the
United
States
Today
American
bald
eagle
is
protected
under
the
National
Emblem
Act(国徽法)of1940.
Although
once
plentiful
throughout
the
continental
United
States,
the
bald
eagle
population
has
greatly
declined
(减少)in
recent
times.
Farmers
and
fishermen
have
killed
many
eagles.
Thanks
to
the
law,
caring
people
and
organizations,
the
bald
eagle
will
probably
be
removed
from
the‘threatened
species’list(濒危物种名录).
Most
of
the
bald
eagle
population
can
now
be
found
in
northern
regions
of
North
America
and
Florida.

When
I
was
six
years
old,
Grandpa
sent
me
into
the
woods
to
gather
pecans
(美洲山核桃).
Pecan
picking
was
really
hard
work
and
my
little
basket
was
only
half
full.
Just
then,
something
caught
my
eyes.
A
large
brown
squirrel
(松鼠)
was
a
few
feet
away.
I
watched
as
he
picked
up
a
pecan,
hurried
to
a
tree
and
disappeared
in
a
large
hole
in
the
trunk.
A
moment
later,
the
squirrel
jumped
out
and
climbed
down
to
the
ground
to
pick
up
another
nut.
Once
again,
he
took
the
pecan
back
to
his
hiding
place.
I
dashed
over
to
the
tree
and
looked
into
the
hole.
It
was
filled
with
pecans!
Golden
pecans
were
right
there
for
taking.
This
was
my
chance.
I
scooped
all
of
those
pecans
into
my
basket.
Now
it
was
full!
I
was
so
proud
of
myself.
I
couldn’t
wait
to
show
Grandpa
all
the
pecans.
Therefore,
I
ran
back
and
shouted,
“Look
at
all
the
pecans!”
He
looked
into
the
basket
and
said,
“Well,
well,
how
did
you
find
so
many?”
I
told
him
how
I’d
followed
the
squirrel
and
taken
the
pecans
from
his
hiding
place.
Grandpa
congratulated
me
on
how
smart
I’d
been
in
observing
the
squirrel
and
his
habits.
Then
he
did
something
that
surprised
me.
He
handed
the
basket
back
to
me
and
put
his
arm
gently
around
my
shoulders.
“That
squirrel
worked
very
hard
to
gather
his
winter
supply
of
food,”
he
said,
“Now
that
all
of
his
pecans
are
gone,
don’t
you
think
that
little
squirrel
will
survive
the
cold
winter?”
“I
didn’t
think
about
that.”
I
said.
“I
know,”
Grandpa
said,
“But
a
good
person
should
never
take
advantage
of
someone
else’s
hard
work.”
I
understood.
After
supper,
I

Why
Japanese
girls
favor
school
uniforms
When
standing
in
the
central
areas
in
Tokyo,
you
can
often
see
many
girls
wearing
school
uniforms.
Many
of
these
young
girls
have
already
graduated
(毕业).
If
you
ask
them
why
they
still
wear
the
uniforms,
you
may
get
such
an
answer:
We
like
our
school
uniforms.
So,
why
do
Japanese
girls
love
school
uniforms
so
much?
The
first
reason
may
be
their
fashionable
design
and
good
quality.
The
style
(样式)
of
Japanese
school
uniforms
for
girls
is
adapted
from
sailor
suits.
The
color
and
design
of
the
uniform
fits
Japanese
girls’
skin
color
and
body
figure.
Every
ten
years,
the
style
will
be
changed
a
little
to
keep
up
with
fashion.
Different
from
some
countries’
school
uniforms,
school
uniforms
in
Japan
are
well-made
and
thus
expensive.
A
complete
school
uniform
can
cost
40,000JPY.
It
is
designed
by
a
name
brand,
made
with
good
cloth
and
produced
by
a
good
manufacturer
(制造商).
The
second
reason
may
be
its
convenience.
In
Japan,
most
schools
have
strict
rules.
Though
students
are
allowed
to
wear
their
own
clothes
to
school,
their
clothing
has
to
fit
their
identity
as
a
student:
they
can’t
wear
clothes
that
are
too
bright;
they
can’t
wear
special
shoes
and
they
have
to
wear
the
school
badge
(校徽).
For
these
reasons,
a
school
uniform
can
be
the
safest
choice.
Another
important
reason
may
be
the
sense
of
collectivism
(集体主义)
in
Japanese
culture.
School
girls
wear
uniforms
so
that
they
feel
proud
of
