Anne’s Best Friend Do you
want a friend
whom
you could
tell everything to, like your deepest
feelings and thoughts? Or are you
afraid that your
friend would laugh at
you, or would not
understand
what
you are going through?
Anne
Frank wanted the first
kind,
so
she made her diary
her best friend. Anne
lived
in Amsterdam in the
Netherlands
during
World War
Ⅱ
. Her family was
Jewish so nearly twenty-five months
before
they
were
discovered.
During that time the only
true
friend was her
diary.
She said, ”I don’t want to set
down
a series of
facts in a diary
as
most people do,
but
I want this diary itself
to be my friend, and I
shall call my
friend Kitty.” Now read how she felt
after being in the hiding place since
July 1942.
Thursday 15th June, 1944
Dear Kitty, I wonder
if
it’s
because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for
so long that I’ve grown so crazy about
everything
精选文档
to do with nature.
I can
well remember that there
was a time
when
a deep blue sky, the
song of the
birds, moonlight and
flowers could never have
kept me
spellbound. That’s changed since I was
here. …For example, one evening when it
was so
warm, I stayed awake
on purpose
until half past
eleven in order to have a good look at
the moon by
my self. But as the moon
gave far too much light,
I didn’t dare
open a window.
Another
time
five
months ago, I happened to be
upstairs at dusk
when
the
window was open. I didn’t go
downstairs
until
the window bad to be shut. The
dark,
rainy
evening, the wind, the
thundering
clouds held me entirely in
their power; it was the
first time in a
year and a half that I’d seen the
night
face to face
…
…
Sadly
…I am only
able to
look at nature through dirty
curtains
hanging
before very
dusty windows.
It’s no pleasure
looking through these any longer
because nature is
one thing that really
must be experienced.

the Road
to Modern English At the end of the 16th
century, about five to seven million
people spoke
English. Nearly all of
them lived in England. Later
in the
next century, people from England made
voyages to conquer other parts of the
world, and
because of that, English
began to be spoken in
many other
countries. Today, more people speak
English as their first, second or a
foreign language
than ever before.
Native English speakers can
understand
each other even if they don’t speak the
same kind of English. Look at this
example:

to see my flat?

American Amy: Yes. I’d like to come up

apartment. So why has English
changed over time?
Actually all
languages change and develop when
cultures meet and communicate with each
other.
At fist the English spoken in
England between
about AD 450 and 1150
was very different from
the English
spoken today. It was base more on
German than the English we speak at
present.
Then gradually between about
AD 500 and 1150,
English became less
like German because those
who ruled
England spoke first Danish and later
French. These new settlers enriched the
English
language and especially its
vocabulary. So by the
1600’s
Shakespeare was able to make use of a
wider vocabulary than ever before. In
1620 some
British settlers moved to
America. Later in the
18th century some
British people were taken to
Australia
to. English began to be spoken in both
countries. Finally by the 19th century
the language
was settled. At that time

English spelling happened: first Samuel
Johnson
wrote his dictionary and later
Noah Webster wrote
The American
Dictionary of the English language.
The
latter gave a separate identity to American
English spelling. English now is also
spoken as a
foreign or second language
in South Asia. For
example, India has a
very large number of fluent
English
speakers because Britain ruled India from
1765 to 1947. During that time English
became
the language for government and
education.
English is also spoken in
Singapore and Malaysia
and countries in
Africa such as South Africa.
Today the
number of people learning English in
China is increasing rapidly. In fact,
China may
have the largest number of
English learners. Will
Chinese English
develop its own identity? Only

Journey Down the

middle school, my sister Wang

have dreamed about taking a great bike
trip. Two years ago she bought an
expensive
mountain bike and then she
persuaded me to buy
one. Last year, she

are Dai and
grew up in western Yunnan Province
near
the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the
river that is called the Mekong River
in other
countries. Wang Wei soon got
time interested in
cycling too. After
graduating from college, we
finally got
the chance to take a bike trip. I asked
my sister, “Where are we going?” It was
my sister
who first had the idea to
cycle along the entire
Mekong River
from where it begins to where it
ends.
Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.
I am fond of my sister but she has one
serious
shortcoming. She can be really
stubborn. Although
she didn’t know the
best way of getting to places,
she
insisted that she organize the trip properly.
Now I know that the proper way is
always her way.
I kept asking her,
“When are we leaving and when
are we
coming back?” I asked her whether she had
looked at a map yet. Of course she
hadn’t; my
sister doesn’t care about
details. So I told her that
the source
of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province.

She gave me
a determined look -- the kind that
said
she would not change her mind. When I told
her that our journey would begin at an
altitude of
more than 5,000 meters, she
seemed to be excited
about it. When I
told her the air would be hard to
breathe and it would be very cold, she
said it
would be an interesting
experience. I know my
sister well. Once
she has made up her mind,
nothing can
change it. Finally, I had to give in.
Several months before our trip, Wang
Wei and I
went to the library. We found
a large atlas with
good maps that
showed details of world
geography. From
the atlas we could see that the
Mekong
River begins in a glacier to move quickly.
It becomes rapids as it passes through
deep valleys,
traveling across western
Yunnan Province.
Sometimes the river
becomes a water fall and
enters wide
valleys. We were both surprised to
learn that half of the river is in
China. After it
leaves China and high
altitude, the Mekong

becomes wide, brown and warm. As it
enters
Southeast Asia, its pace slows.
It makes wide
bends or meanders through
low valleys to the
plains where rice
grows. At last, the river delta
enters
the South China Sea.
