1. There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live in. The first great invention was one that is still very important today一the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800's the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People did not have to explore much anymore. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.
　　The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over disease. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live longer lives. By the 1960's most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.
2.  Should a person own a car? In a large urban area, there are some good reasons for owning a car. First, a car allows a person to move around freely. With a car, there is no need to check a bus schedule, to wait for it and to struggle against the crowd. Second, a car is a comfortable way to travel, especially in the wintertime. In bad weather, the driver stays warm and dry, while the poor bus or bicycle riders might have to stand in the chilly snow. Finally, a driver is usually safe in a car at night, while the rider might need to walk down a dark street to get to a stop, or to wait on a dark corner.
However, there are many good reasons against owning a car. First, it can be very expensive. It costs much to buy, to maintain and to repair a car. The price of fuel continues to rise and car insurance is a great expense. In an urban area, it might also be expensive to park the car. Second, owning a car can cause worry and stress. It is exhausting to drive in rush-hour traffic, or drive around looking for a parking space. A car might be damaged or stolen and this is what you have to worry about. Finally, more cars will make the problem of air and noise pollution more serious, and burn more fuel.

3．London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small and indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they have all gone through a very tough training period to get special taxi driving license. During this period which can take from 2 to 4 years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city.
Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers. Their exams are terrible experience. The officers ask you "How do you get from Birmingham Palace to the Tower of London?" and you have to take them there in the direct line. When you get to the tower, they won't say "well done". They will quickly move on to the next question. After 5 or 6 questions, they will just say "See you in two months' time." and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs until they have obtained the license. The training can cost quite a lot, because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.

4. Dr. Vivian Fuchs of Great Britain and his eleven comrades wished to be the first to cross the last continent overland. Their only chance finishing this desire safely was to cross over the continent during the 100 days of summer at the South Pole. They loaded snow-cats and weasels with supplies and started. Could men and machines withstand the strain of traveling more than 2,000 miles on top of ice a mile or more thick?
  Their schedule called for them to travel the first 250 miles in about 25 days, but it took them 37 days. To avoid dangerous crevasses and cliffs of ice, they were forced to travel 425 miles to advance 250 miles. At this rate, they could not cross the continent before winter would come upon them. They were advised by radio to turn back, but they pushed on.
  Ninety-nine days after starting, they heard a clashing of tin pans, a pounding of oil drums, and men’s voices singing “God Save the Queen.” Thus, twelve bearded heroes were being welcomed to the opposite side of the continent from which they started.

5. Correspondence Schools in the U.S.
     Some people cannot attend a school or a university to continue their education. For them there are radio or TV courses and correspondence courses. These courses are different from regular university courses because the instructor and the student never meet each other. Everything is done by mail. The schools mail the books and the assignments to the students. Then the students complete the assignments and mail them back to the instructor. The instructor then checks the assignments for mistakes and at the end of the course, mails a grade to the student.
     Correspondence schools are very popular. They offer courses in more than a thousand subjects, from Chinese to biology. Today more than a million Americans are taking some kind of a correspondence course. Many different kinds of people have graduated from correspondence schools: singers like Donny and Marie Osmond, and even "Peanuts" cartoonist Charles Schulz.
     Some correspondence schools have courses to give training for people wanting to get jobs in industry. The Cleveland Institute of Electronics has courses to help workers get jobs in companies like Eastman Kodak or Procter and Gamble. Some universities have general interest courses or introductory courses. Other universities offer a complete program. The University of Iowa, for example, offers a Bachelor of Liberal Studies. The courses are general because there is no specific major. To register, students only have to fill out a registration form and mail it in with a check for school fees.
6.After retiring from 30 years of teaching, Ethbell Pepper could easily have decided to sit back and relax and enjoy a peaceful retirement. But that kind of life is not for Ethbell Pepper. “I just wanted to do something different. If you are going to participate in life, do it. Don’t just sit down and look out the window.” She says. (26)At 68, she decided to become one of the pioneer participants in a program at the University of California. The program offers campus housing in classes to people over sixty. She enrolled in a class called Human Relationships and Diverse Society. “(27)I taught my minority students in my English and drama classes in high school for 20 years. But in this course, I found out a lot about other cultures I didn’t know then. (29)One of the most important lessons that I’m learning is to perceive, not to judge.” (28)Older adults can add to the educational resources of the university by bringing with them a lot of valuable experience. Their presence on campus helps break some long believes about aging. Young students may have fears of growing older. But that kind of fear can be reduced as they see that older people can be active, healthy, and continue to contribute to society. The younger students can begin to see aging as a natural part of living.

7. Did you know that there’s a kind of bird that can sew? This called the tailor bird uses its mouth as a needle. It sews leaves together in the shape of a cup? then it adds a layer of straw to the inside of the cup and lays its eggs there. Each bird species builds its own special kind of nest. The most common materials used for nests are grasses? branches and feathers. A bird must weave these materials into a nest. Just imagine building a house without cement or nails to hold together?　　

Another bird is called the weaver bird. The weaver bird builds a nest that looks like a basket? the nest shaped like a pear with a hole in the middle. The hole is the door of the nest. A third bird is called the oven bird. The oven bird makes a nest that is very solid. The nest is made of mud. The oven bird forms the mud into the shape of an oven and then let it dry in the sun. The sun bakes the mud making it very hard. Not all birds make their homes in branches. Some birds build their nests on the ground? while others bury their eggs under the ground. And some birds do not build nests at all. So when you look for nests and eggs in branches of the trees and bushes? remember that some nests may be right your feet. 　　

8. The problem of obesity is spreading into many different aspects of Americans’ lives. Now researchers have confirmed that some children are so fat they can’t fit into car safety seats designed for kids. Bill Cohen of Ohio Public Radio reports.
More than a quarter million children in the US, ages one to six, are having a hard time or an impossible time fitting into the safety seats, according to a study by researchers from Columbus Children’s Hospital and Johns Hopkins. They say most of the children are three years old, but weigh more than the 40 pounds the seats are designed to hold. According to the study published in the medical journal Pediatrics, reducing obesity is an important goal, but it’ll take time. And in the meantime, safety seat manufacturers need to make more options available. When the researchers compiled their data last year, only four types of seats were available for the extra heavy three-year-olds and those seats cost more than 200 dollars. Since then, more seats for obese kids were coming onto the market.

10. A good student, I think, should be diligent in his studies. The more he studies, the more he will increase his knowledge. Without enough knowledge, we cannot make great contributions to the modernization of our country.   To take care of one's own body is another important thing for good student to do. Anyone, who hasn't got a strong body, can do nothing for his country, even if he has much knowledge. There was a man, who, when he was student, studied hard but neglected his health. No sooner did he come to serve the country than he died of poor health. From this we may see that to have a strong body is really very important for a student.   Lastly, to cultivate one's own virtue is most important. Virtue is the essence of a noble and good character.  
It will greatly help one to be useful and his country heart and soul. When learned people go astray, they do more harm than good to society. We should draw lessons from this.
It will greatly help one to live in happiness and comfort. If we students pay much attention to our virtue and do every thing according to our conscience the greatest respect and the strongest trust will be shown to us by others. In history it is easy to see that every noble and great person, who was much esteemed by others, had noble character.

11. How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words， the origin of language is a mystery。 All we really known is that men， unlike animals， somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings， actions， and things， so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs， called letters， which could be combined to represent those sounds， and which could be written down， these sounds， whether spoken， or written in letters we call words。

The power of words， then， lies in their associations － the things they bring up before our minds， Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live， the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn， the more the number of words that mean something to us increases。 Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions。 This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style（文体）。 Above all， the real poet is a master of words。 He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music， and which by their position and association can move men to tears。 We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately， or they will make our speech silly and vulgar（粗俗的）。
12※The key question for any only child is this : why were you an only child? It’s a key question for at least two reasons. If your parents had wanted several children but could only have you only , they are most likely to pour into you all the energy and attention that had been intended for several children . I call this the “special jewel” phenomenon. Only children who are special jewels often arrive when their parents are older——usually in their thirties. These special jewels can become very spoiled and self centered. On the other hand, you may be an only child because your parents planned for only one and stuck to their plan. Your parents may give you a very strict and well structured education to make you a “little adult”. Many only children grow up feeling unhappy because they always had to be such “little adults”.
13※There are more than 5,000 languages spoken in the world and ,as communication improves, they will create lots of work for translators. The idea of a computer helping with all this work——translation by machine ——is able to exist. Scientists believe that all major languages will be translated by computer by the end of this century. Already, millions of words a year are translated with the help of computers. Translations are at present limited to a scientific, technical and official texts; literary works are far too difficult for computers. Machine translation is a growing, new service industry, and the future looks very exciting. The first development in machine translation came in the late 1950s and early 1960s, but the progress was interrupted in 1966 when a report from an important US science institute rejected machine translation as impracticable. In spite of major funding cuts that followed, some scientists kept on with their researches. More languages are still translated by translators, but some, such as English, French, German and Italian, are regularly translated from one to the other by computer. In the past few years Chinese and Japanese have become available. Each year, around 500,000 pages of texts all over the world are translated by computers, enough to keep about 500 translators working full time with original methods.

14.人口: 1.According to the best historical records and archaeological findings, it is judged that it took about 800 thousand to 1 million years for the earth’s population to reach the 250 million in total which existed at the end of the first century after Christ. For some time after that, illnesses, lack of food and wars kept the population growth down to less than 1% a year so that more than 15 centuries passed before the population reached 500 million. But in the next 250 years, up to 1850, the population of the world shot up to the 1 billion mark, and today it has reached 5 billion. It is said by the United Nations officials that in the next 10 years the population of the world will reach 6 billion by the year 2000.

The United Nations said there had been five million new infections this year and warned that AIDS was outstripping global and national efforts to contain it. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the worst affected region. In Asia, where more than eight million people are infected, the UN says infection rates are rising sharply. It warned that Pakistan, in particular, was on the verge of a serious epidemic.

19※飞机A small aircraft has crashed into the 20th floor of a high-rise apartment building in New York City, killing at least two people. The plane burst into flames on the impact and fire spread through several floors of the building. The White House said all the indications were that the crash was an accident. Investigators are at the scene gathering evidence, but the authorities don’t believe the incident was linked to terrorism. The BBC’s Gitto Harry was at the scene shortly after the incident and sent this report.
20※The biggest ever international conference on malaria has begun in the West African state of Cameroon to discuss the latest scientific findings on the disease which kills more than 1.5million people worldwide each year. 75% of those victims are African children. Or the 2,000delegates meeting in the capital Yaounde, 80% are from Africa. The disease costs the continent more than 12 billion dollars in lost GDP each year. The latest research suggests that 41% of the world’s population live in areas where malaria is transmitted.
