Passage 1
Mr. Young ran his own
business and worked very hard. His wife was afraid
that he would get
sick if he continued
like that, so she often tried to get him to take a
vacation. At last she managed to
persuade him to do so, and she hoped
that he would be able to enjoy his vacation
without any
disturbance, so before they
left, Mrs. Young went to see her husband's
secretary. She said to her,
husband
needs a vacation very much, so whatever happens,
please don't bother him with telegrams and
letters about business problems while
we are away. Just wait till we get
back.
After Mr. and Mrs. Young had been
away about a week, Mr. Young received a letter
from his
secretary which said,
with it while you are enjoying your vac
ation.

At that point,
the son hung up the phone. The parents heard
nothing more from him. A few days

Passage 6
People often say
that the Englishman's home is his castle. They
mean that the home is very
important
and personal. Most people in Britain live in
houses rather than flats, and many people own
their homes. This means that they can
make them personal, and change them in any way
they like- Most
houses have a garden,
even if it is a small one, and the garden is
usually loved. The house and the garden
are the private space of a person. In a
crowded city a person knows that he or she has a
private space
which is only for him or
herself and for invited friends.
People usually like to mark
their space. If you are on the beach you may have
spread your towels
around you; on the
train you may have put your coat or small bag on
the seat beside you; in a library you
may spread your books around you,
Once I was
travelling on a train to London. I was in a
section for four people and there was a table
between us. The man opposite to me had
his briefcase on the table. There was no space on
my side of
the table at all. I was
unhappy. I thought he thought thai he owned the
whole table. I had been reading a
book
about nonverbal communication so I took various
papers out of my bag and put them on his case!
When I did this he suddenly became
angry and his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
I had taken up his
space! A few minutes
later I took my papers off in order to read them.
He immediately moved his case
to his
side of the table.
人们常说英国人的
家就是他的城堡，
意思是说家很重要也很私人的。
大多数英国人
住在别墅而
不是公寓
,
许多人都有自己
的房子。
这意味着他们可以把房子搞得颇具个人色彩，
可以随心
所欲的
改变它。
多数房子里都有花园
,
即便花园很小
,
通常都是主人钟爱的。
房子和花园是一个人的私密空
间。在拥挤的都市
,
人们知道他或她拥有的私密空间仅仅属于自己和受邀的朋友们。
人们通常喜欢标记地盘。在沙滩上你会把浴巾摊开在你的周围
,
在火车上会把你的外套或小包
放在你旁边的座位上
,
在图书馆里你会将你的书摊在你的周围。
有一次我坐车去伦敦，坐在一个四人区
,
我们之间有张桌子。坐在我对面的男人将他的公文包
放在桌子上，
我这边的桌子没剩下任何地方。
我很不高兴，
我觉得
他是认为整张桌子都归他所有。
那段时间我正在读一本关于非语言交流的书

于是我从包里拿出很多不同的文件放在他的包上

我这么做的时候

Passage 7
In
1920,
barely
out
of
his
teens,
Alfred
Hitchcock
went
to
work
for
an
American
film
company
which had opened a studio in Islington,
London. His first job at the studio was writing
captions
（脚本）
for
silent movies. Within two years, he was writing
scripts
（剧本）
and
working as an assistant director.
For
the
rest
of
the
1920s,
Hitchcock
worked
on
one
film
after
another
in
Britain
and
Germany.
Filming was often a
rough-and-
ready
（
匆忙做成的）
affair and the assistant director was
required to step
in
and
plug
gaps.
A
cameraman
went
missing,
Hitchcock
became
a
cameraman.
A
scene
needed
rewriting, Hitchcock rewrote it.
Someone needed to be in charge of money when the
film crew was on
location, Hitchcock
looked after the money.
At
the
same
time,
this
being
the
era
of
silent
movies,
Hitchcock
was
learning
the
language
of
cinema: telling a
story
－
not through dialogue,
but through visual
images
（视觉影象）
. This led to
his
success
later.
When he began to direct his own
films, first in Britain and later in Hollywood, he
was determined
to make films that held
the audience's attention and kept
tension
（紧张感）
. He succeeded.
Hitchcock's
ability to put you on the
edge of your seat makes him one of the greatest
makers of suspense
（悬念）

We

busy

and
using
the
Internet
，
but
how
many
of
us
know
the
history
of
the
Internet?
Many people are surprised when they
find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At
that
time
，
computers
were large and expensive. Computer network didn't
work well. If one computer in the
network broke
down
，
then the whole network
stopped. So a new network system had to be set up.
It
should be good enough to be used by
many different computers. If part of the network
was not working
，
information
could be sent through another part. In this way
computer network system would keep on
working on the time.
At first the Internet was only used by
the government
，
but in the
early 1970s
，
universities
，
hospitals and banks were
allowed to use it too.
However
，
computers were still
very expensive and the
Internet was
difficult to use. By the start of the
1990s
，
computers became
cheaper and easier to use.

Three men

the

this thermos.
