Module 6 The Tang Poems The Internet and Telecommunications (建议用时40分钟). 阅读理解AIn 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an“F”on it. The teacher told her it was a“fairy tale”. Jean was heartbroken and ashamed. As the years went by, Jean was beaten down by the discouragement and negativity she encountered whenever she talked about her dream. “Girls cant become airline pilots; never have, never will. Youre crazy. Thats impossible. ”Finally Jean gave up. In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was Mrs Dorothy Slaton, a demanding teacher with high standards. One day Mrs Slaton asked this question, “If you had unlimited finances, unlimited access to the finest schools, unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do? ”Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream. The next thing that Mrs Slaton said changed the course of Jeans life. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, “I have a little secret for you. You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you dont go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough. ”The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared all of a sudden. Jean felt thrilled and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs Slaton slapped the desk top. “Then do it! ”she said. So Jean did. It didnt happen overnight. In her 10 years of hard work, even facing varieties of laugh, frustration and opposition, she never gave up her dream. Instead, she went on doing everything her third-grade teacher said was fairy-tale. Eventually, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for the United Airline Company. 【文章大意】Jean在三年级的时候写下理想, 然而小学老师却说她的梦想是不切实际的。后来在高中老师的鼓励下, Jean通过努力实现了梦想。1.

Their plan was to kill James I, the King of England and his family together with the majority of English aristocracy. This yearly event seems most probable that people admire Fawkes daring to blow up the Parliament, rather than the fact that his plot failed and he was caught. At the very beginning the Guy Fawkes Day was celebrated only in the United Kingdom, and then in the former British colonies and some regions of Canada. In Sussex, a historic region in South East England, Guy Fawkes Day is a major festival that centers in Lewes, nowadays a tourist-orientated town. The town centre is closed during the festival and the night begins with costumed torchlight processions organized by local bonfire societies, responsible for the bonfire festivals in Sussex. In Ottery St Mary, in Devon, there is an old tradition held on November 5th each year, which originated in the 17th century. Weeks before the Guy Fawkes night, barrels are soaked with tar. Then, on November 5th, barrels are lit and when the fire begins to pour out, local men lift and carry them on their backs and shoulders. There are also womens and boys barrels on the streets, but they are not as heavy as mens are, which by the midnight can weigh at least 30 kilos. And people are waiting on the streets to feel the hot touch of the barrels flame. It is said that the burning barrels cleanse the streets of evil spirits. In some parts of England autumn fireworks and bonfires are commonly associated with Halloween. This is also the reason why the night of November 5th is less celebrated in Northern Ireland. In the English West Country there is an annual celebration, named the West Country Carnival, with parades of illuminated floats in each town, which lit both sides of it. This celebration also dates back to the Gunpowder Plot of November 5, 1605, and has turned into a major regional festival. 【文章大意】本文主要讲述盖伊福克斯之夜(或篝火节之夜, Guy Fawkes Night), 是英国的传统节日, 当今在各地庆祝这一节日的形式等情况。5.
