4. You can choose from al
l
kinds of models, and what’s more, if after a
certain period of time, and
you would
like a new model, you can change. How’s that for
service?
5. No deposit

We
have known for a long time that flowers of
different plants open and close at different time
of
day.
This
is
so
familiar
that
there
seems to
be
no need
to
ask
the
reason
for
it.
Yet no
one
really
understands
why
flowers
open
and
close
like
this at particular
times. The process
(
过程
)
is
not as
simple
as
we
might
think,
as
recent
experiments
have
shown.
In
one
study,
flowers
were
kept
in
constant (
连续的
)
darkness. We might
expect
that the
flowers,
without
any
information
about
the
time of day, did not
open as they normally do. In fact, they continued
to open at their usual time. This
suggests that they have some mysterious
(
神秘的
) way of knowing the
time. Their sense of time does
not
depend on information from the outside world; it
is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner
clock”.
This
discovery (
发现
) may not seem
to be very important. However, it was later found
that not just
plants but also animals
—
including man
—have this “inner clock” which controls
the working of
their bodies and
influences (
影响
) their
activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this
mysterious
power. Whether we wish it or
not, it affects such things in our life as our
need for sleep, our need for
food.
In the
past, this did not matter very much because people
lived in natural condition. In the modern
world,
things
are
different;
now
there
are
spacemen,
airplane
pilots
and,
in
ordinary
life,
a
lot
of
people who
have to work at night. It would be very useful,
then, to know more about the “inner
clock”. Such ordinary things as flowers
might help us understand more about
ourselves.

A person, like a
commodity
（商品）
, needs
packaging. But going too far is absolutely
undesirable.
A little exaggeration,
however, does no harm when it shows the person’s
unique qualities to their
advantages.
To show personal attractiveness in a casual and
natural way, it is important for one to
have a clear knowledge of oneself. A
skilled packager knows how to add art to nature
without any
signs of
embellishment
（装饰）
, so that
the person so packaged is not a commodity but a
human being,
lively and
lovely.
A young person,
especially a female, shining with beauty and full
of life, has all the favor
granted by
God. Any attempt to make up would be self-
defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes
in a flash. Packaging for the middle-
aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years.
If you still
enjoy
life
enough to
keep
self-confidence and
work
at pioneering
work
you
are unique
in
through
plains mountains and
jungles, running its course as it should. You have
really lived your life, which
now
arrives at a
self-satisfied
stage of
quietness
and calmness with
no
interest
in
fame

I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a

Leaning
Tower of Pisa .But when I read
the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza .I thought
this tower was a
place to buy pizza .It
must be the best place to buy pizza in the world,
I thought.
Many years later finally saw
the Leaning Tower. I knew then that is was Pisa
and no pizza .But there
was still
something special about it for me .The tower got
its name because it really does lean to one
side. Some people want to try to fix it
.They are afraid it may fall over and they don`t
like it leans over
the city.
I do not think it`s a good idea to try
to fix it .The tower probably will not fall down

London.
The
headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the
other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a

Soon they heard
the sea. They were carrying the usual
rope

was hanging down from the
basket of the
balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a
metal box. This could hold water, or it

.It was
for use over the sea. They were
also
carrying some bags of sand.
After the sun rose, the balloon went
higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air
was very cold. The
water in the balloon
became ice. Snow fell past the men’s basket, and
they could see more snow on
the ground.
The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it
was hard. They tried to break the icy
sand with their knives, but it was not
easy. The work was slow and they were still
falling, so they had
to drop some whole
bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and
made a black hole in the ice.
At last they pulled the box into the
basket. It was still snowing; so they
climbed to get away from
the
snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became

in the seas
of Central
America after their boat sank.
Twenty-one days
after they left Panama in their boat, Siboney,
they met some whales

“They started to hit the side of the
boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard
water.” Two
minutes later, the boat was
sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and
watched the boat go under the
water.
For twenty days they had
tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They
also had a fishing-line

Dear Francis
，
I received your very nice Christmas
card nearly one and one
–
half years ago. I am sorry it has taken
me so long to tell you how happy I was
to hear from you
！
I will always remember how beautiful
you
sang at the very special China
culture night the summer of 1998.
When I came back from China wanted to
learn more studies. I was accepted at the
university of Texas
and
have
been
a
student
there
for
almost
three
semesters.
To
graduate,
I
must
study
a
foreign
language for four
semesters. I would like to learn Chinese but they
do not teach it there, so I would
have
to go to a different university. I have a Chinese
friend, Jing, in my biology class. She is very
nice.
This week a bad
tornado struck the town where my daughter works
but she was not hurt. It did nearly
$$500, 000, 000 of destruction but less
than 10 people were killed. We are happy about
that.
None
of
the
teachers
who
went
to
China,
at
least
to
Jingzhou,
knew
each
other
before
going.
However,
being
together
made
us
friends.
Last
week
was
spring
break
from
school.
I
flew
to
the
home of
Polly and Lois in Minnesota, about 2400 kilometres
from me, to visit and to talk about how
much we missed China and all our
friends there. Do you remember them? They said
Andy had been
to visit them. He came to
watch a basketball game between his state,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota. They
told me
if he can get enough money, he will go back to
China this summer. Polly has a newspaper
route to help earn money to go to China
each summer. She walks from house to house to
deliver the
newspapers so she will be
used to walking when she gets to China. While I
was there, I helped her.
My
husband and I have four children, three girls and
one boy. Our boy is not married He is 26 years
old and works as a computer analyst Our
youngest daughter is staying home from work since
she had
her baby boy six months ago. He
is very chubby and happy.
Did you get married yet? Do you have
good students this year?
I think maybe
I did write to both you and your student of 1998
named Wang Feng. If I did, please,
forgive
me
for
forgetting.
So
many
people
from
China
wrote
to
me,
I
can’t
remember
who
I
answered. I would love to hear from
you.
Your
friend,
Mary

Think about the last time you dropped a
stone into water. Do you remember how the waves
started?
They began where the stone met
the water and then moved outward.
Just as waves in water take time to
move, so sound takes time to move in air. Sound
takes time to
travel.
Perhaps you have noticed the time that
passes between a flash of lightning and the
thunder. You may
have heard the sound
of a baseball bat hitting a ball an instant after
you saw it happen.
Both
light and sound take time to travel. However,
there is a great deal of difference in their
speed. In
one second, sound can travel
about 1, 000 feet through air. During this same
time,
light can travel
move
than 186, 000 miles!
When something
makes a sound some distance away, you can often
see the action before you hear the
sound.
As
sound
travels,
vibrations
are
passed
on
from
one
molecule
to
another.
The
farther
the
sound
has to travel, the longer it takes.
( )1. Which of these is wrong?
A. “Sound and wave”
mean“水花和水波”.
B.
“Lightning and thunder” mean“闪电和雷声”.
C. “Instant and second” mean“瞬息和秒钟”.
D. “Action and vibration”
mean“动作和振动”.
( )2. Sound
takes time to move in air just as______.
A. waves B. trains C. buses
D. cars
( )3. When we drop a stone into
water
，
we can see
______.
A. nothing
B. the waves start where the stone
meets the water and then move outward
C. the waves start far from the stone
D. both A and C
( )4. Which
of these is right
？
A. You may hear the sound of a baseball
bat hitting a ball
，

In our daily life, we have
to come into contact with people in every walk of
ore, it is ve
ry important for us to
know how to get along with other people. To get
well along with others and wi
n their
friendships, we must observe strictly the
following words.
To begin
with, we need to be honest with others and shouh{
always say what we mean. Lies will
surely make people stay far away from
us in the long run. After all,honesty is the best
policy. Second,
we have to be humble
enough. If we are proud in public, we can hardly
win other's respect, not to me
ntion

Books
As
is
well
known,
books
teach
us
to
learn
life,
truth,
science
and
many
other
useful
things.
They
increase our knowledge,
broaden our minds and strengthen our character. In
other words, they are
our good teachers
and wise friends. This is the reason why our
parents always encourage us to read
more books.
Reading is a good thing, but we must
pay GREat attention to the choice of books. It is
true that we
can derive benefits from
good books. However, bad books will do us more
harm than good.

Be Patriotic
It
is the duty of every citizen to make the country
rich and powerful (To make the country rich and
st
rong is...). In order to accomplish
this object one must be patriotic (love his
country). I consider this a
n
unchangeable truth.
How can a student
love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer
very simple and clear. He must st
udy
hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his
(the) country in the future. If every student can
do
according to what I said, the
country will certainly be rich and
powerful.

eaten
