I can well remember that there was a time _ a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. Thats changed since I was here.For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose _ half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didnt dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk _ the window was open. I didnt go downstairs _ the window had 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_ (see) the night face to face.SadlyI am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains _(hang) before very dusty windows. Its no pleasure _ (look) through these any longer because nature is one thing _ really must be experienced.Your,AnneUnit 2THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH_ 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 begin to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English _ their first, second or a foreign language _ ever before. Native English speakers can understand each other even _ they dont speak the same kind of English. Look at this kind of example: British Betty: Would you like to see my flat? American Amy: Yes. Id like to come up to your apartment. So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop _ cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different the English _ (speak) today. It was based more on German _ the English we speak at present. Then gradually between about AD800 to 1150, English became less like Germen _ those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers _(rich) the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600s Shakespeare was able to make use _ 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 too. English began to be spoken in _ countries. Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big _(change) in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave _ separate identity to American English spelling.English now is also spoken _ a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has _ very large number of fluent English speakers _ 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 _ 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 time will tell.STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTSWhat is standard English? Is it spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand? Believe it or not, there is no such thing _ standard English. Many people believe the English spoken on TV and the radio is standard English. This is because in the early days of radio, those who reported the news _（expect） to speak excellent English. However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak. When people use words and expressions different from the “standard language”, it _ (call) a dialect. American English has many dialects, especially the Midwestern, southern, African American and Spanish dialects. Even in some parts of the USA, two people from neighbouring towns speak a little _(different). American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over the world. Geography also plays a part _ making dialects. Some people _ live in the mountains of the eastern USA speak with an older kind of English dialect. When Americans moved from one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same dialects as people in the northwestern USA. The USA is a large country in _ many different dialects are spoken. _ many Americans move a lot, they still recognize and understand each others dialects.Unit 3JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONGPART 1 THE DREAM AND THE PLANMy name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I _ ( dream) about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me _ (buy) one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang _ their college in Kunming. They 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 them interested _ 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 _ first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to _ it ends. Now she is planning our schedule for the trip. I am fond _ my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn. _ she didnt 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 _ she had looked at a map yet. Of course, she hadnt; my sister doesnt care _ details. So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined lookthe kind _ said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, she seemed to be excited about it. _ I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be _ interesting experience. I know my sister well. _ 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 _ showed details of world geography. From the atlas we could see _ the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a Tibetan mountain. At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, _ (travel) across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall and enters wide valleys. We were both surprised _ (learn) that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China and the high altitude,the Mekong becomes wide，brown and warm. _ it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains _ rice grows. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.PART2 A NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS_ it was autumn, the snow was already beginning to fall in Tibet.Our legs were so heavy and cold _ they felt like blocks of ice.Have you ever seen snowmen ride bicycles?Thats what we looked like! Along the way children _(dress) in long wool coats stopped to look at us.In the late afternoon we found it was so cold _ our water bottles froze. However, the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and looked wonderful.Wangwei rode in front of me as usual. She is very _ (rely) and I knew I didnt need to encourage her. To climb the mountains was hard work but as we looked around us, we were surprised by the view. We seemed to be able to see for miles. At one point we were so high that we found ourselves _ (cycle) through clouds. Then we began going down the hills. It was great fun especially as it gradually became much _(warm). In the valleys colourful butterflies flew around us and we saw many yaks and sheep _(eat) green grass. At this point we had to change our caps, coats,gloves and trousers for T-shirts and shorts. In the early evening we always stop to make camp. We put _ our tent and then we eat. After supper Wang Wei put her head down on her pillow and went to sleep _ I stayed awake. _ midnight the sky became _(clear) and the stars grew brighter. It was so quiet. There was almost no windonly the flames of our fire for company. As I _(lie) beneath the stars I thought about _far we had already travelled. We will reach Dali in Yunnan Province soon, _ our cousins Dao Wei and Yu Hang will join us. We can hardly wait _(see) them!Unit 4A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDT SLEEPStrange things were happening in the countriside of northest HeBei._ there days the water in the village wells rose and fell, rose and fell. Farmers noticed _ the well walls had deep cracks in them. A smelly gas came out of the cracks. In the farmyards, the chickens and even the pigs were _ nervous to eat.mice ran out of the fields _(look) for places to hide.fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds.At about 3:00am on July 28,1976,some people saw bright lights in the sky.The sound of the planes could be heard outside the city. But the one million people in the city,_ thought little of these events,were asleep as usual that night. At3:42 am everything began to shake. It seemed as _ the world was at an end! Eleven kilometres directly below the city _ greatest earthquake of 20th century had begun. It was felt in Beijing,_ is more than two hundred kilometres away. One-third of the nation felt it .A huge crack _ was eight kilometres long and thirty metres wide cut across houses,roads and canals.Steam burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In fifteen terrible seconds a large _(lie) in ruins. The suffering of the people was extreme. Tow-thirds of them died or were injured during the earthquake.Thounds of families were killed and many children _(leave) without parents. The number of people _ were killed or injured reached more than 400,000.But how could the survivors believe it was _(nature)? Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed. All of the citys hospitals, 75 %of its factories and buildings and 90%of its homes were _(go). Bricks covered the ground _ red autumn leaves. No wind, however,could below they away. Two dams and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for travelling. The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel. Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again. Half a million pigs and millions of chickens were _(die). Sand now filled the wells instead of water. People were shocked. Then later that afternoon, another big quake _ was almost as strong as the first one shook Tangshan. Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped under the ruins. More buildings fell down. Water,food, and eletricity were hard to get. People began to wongder _ long the disater would last. All hope was not lost. Soon after the quakes, the army sent 150,000 soliders to Tangshan to help the rescue workers. Hundreds of thousands of people were helped. The army organized teams to dig out those were trapped and _(bury) the dead. To the north of the city, most of the 10,000 miners were rescued from the coal mines there. Workers built shelters for survivors _ homes had been destroyed. Fresh water was taken to the city by train,truck and plane. Slowly, the city began to breathe again. Unit 5Elias storyMy name is Elias. I am a poor worker in SouthAfrica. The time _ I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to _ I went for advice. He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems. He was generous with his time, for _ I was grateful.I needed his help because I had very little education. I began school at six. The school _I studied for only two years was three kilometers away. I had to leave _ my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this was a time _ one had to got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there, and I worried about _ I would become out of work.The day _ Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest. He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could. He said:“ The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws _(stop) our rights and progress,until today we have reached a stage _ we have almost no rights at all.”It was the truth. Black people could not vote or choose their leaders. They could not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in _ they had to live were decided by white people. The places outside the towns _ they were sent to live were the poorest parts of South Africa. No one could grow food there,. In fact as Nelson Mandela said:“ We were put into a position in _ we had either to accept we were less important, or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke the law in a way _ was peaceful; when this was not allowed only then did we decide to answer violence _ violence.”As a matter of fact, I do not like violence but in 1963 I helped him blow _ some government buildings. It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison. _ I was very happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white people equal.The rest of Elias storyYou cannot imagine how the name of Robben Island made us afraid. It was a prison from _ no one escaped. There I spent the hardest time of my life. But when I got there Nelson Mandela was also there and he helped me. Mr Mandela began a school for those of us _ had little learning. We read books under our blankets and used anything we could find to make candles to see the words. I became a good student. I wanted to study for degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later, Mr Mandela allowed the prison guards to join us. He said they should not be stopped from studying for their degrees. They were not cleverer than me, but they did pass their exams. So I knew I could get a degree too. _ made me feel good about myself.When I finished the four years in prison, I went to find a job. Since I was better educated, I got a job working in an office. _, the police found out and told my boss that I had been in prison for blowing up government buildings. So I lost my job. I did not work again for twenty years _ Mr Mandela and the ANC came to power in 1994. All that time my wife and children had to beg for food and help from relatives or friends. _(luck) Mr Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Island. I felt bad the first time I talked to a group. All the terror and fear of that time came back to me. I remembered the beatings and the cruelty of the guards and my friends _ had died. I felt I would not be able to do it, but my family encouraged me. They said that the job and the pay from the new South Africa government were my reward _ working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks. So now at 51 I am proud to show visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own land.必修二Unit 1In search of the amber roomFrederick William I, the king of Prussia, could never have imagined _ his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such _ amazing history.
