二、
就我来说，我发现外表往往是靠不住的。譬如，要是你任凭外表去判断诸如爱德华.海德.伯顿这样的人，你就错了。外表上，伯顿像

睛，温雅而坦率。然而，他原来却是十分的残忍。他侮辱和愚弄穷 困

deceptive. For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by
appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance,

hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned
out to be very cruel he insulted and fooled Lenny who was down

and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture.
What was still more surprising was that he was completely
indifferent to Lenny’s death. Without doubt, Burton was a man with
a heart of stone.

二、

当今我们处于持续的压力下，要 工作更长的时间，要生产要多，拥
有更多。许多人有一种错误的认识：幸福就在于拼命地干，使劲的赚。
许多妇女今天感到同样的压力，要工作，要出人头地，而与此同时，
又要养育子女，承担起 家庭责任的负担。
研究表明，工作狂旺旺使我们与家人的关系疏远。它会迫使我们长
时间 辛苦劳作，仅留微乎其微的时间与我们的亲人呆在一起、交流感
情。家庭成员间的亲密关系在此过程中注 定要消亡。
Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to
produce more, and to possess more. Lots of people hold the wrong
perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well
good money. Many women today feel the same stress to work

and get ahead
and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the
burden of domestic responsibilities. Research shows that
workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It
forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction
of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved
ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the
process.

上星期三，我和我的同学卡洛琳一起浏览了周庄，那是一个四周环< br>水的著名城镇。当我们到达镇上时，卡洛琳激动地向她看见的第一座
桥飞奔过去，然后便在那里高 声唱了起来。突然她的嗓音静了下来，
原来她发现自己惊动了离我们不远的一群鸭子。当时卡洛琳太想乘 船
了，于是我们决定坐船浏览该镇。卡洛琳跟河里的动物时而高声、时
而低语地说着话并且不停 地瞎忙乎，而我则默默地看着船儿在水面上
轻轻的划过。虽然我们没有见到任何壮观的景物，我们享受了 在这个
远离大城市喧嚣的镇里度过的每一分钟。
周庄是值得游览的。如果有时间，我还想再次去那里。


Last Wednesday, my classmate Caroline and I visited

Zhouzhuang, a well-known town looped all around by streams.
When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she saw
and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when
she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us.
Now as Caroline was dying for a boat, we decided to tour the town
by boat. Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in
the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the
boats gliding over the water in silence. Though we did not see
anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies
out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city.
Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I’d like to go
there again.
