the class, how heavy do you think this glass of water is? the students answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. it does not matter on the weight itself. it depends on how long you hold it. if i hold it for a minute, it is ok. if i hold it for an hour, i will have an ache in my right arm. if i hold it for a day, you might have to call an ambulance (救护车). it is exactly the same weight, but the longer i hold it, the heavier it becomes. if we carry our burdens (负担) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. what you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again. we have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on. so before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. dont carry it back home. you can pick it up tomorrow. whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.43. a glass of

they stayed in china for almost 20 years and went to many places. they were very surprised at what they saw. china was a country far more advanced than italy or any other country in europe.after he returned to italy, marco polo told many of his stories to a friend. his book, descriptions of the world, became the most popular book in europe. people found it difficult to believe his stories of people, animals, places and things. they were so different from europe at that time. these are a few of marco polos descriptions. in one area of china，there were black stones. people dug them out of the mountains, they burned very slowly. people used them to cook and keep their homes warm. the chinese people were also very clean. in every town, there were many public baths. everyone bathed at least three times a week. rich families built baths in their homes and bathed every day. china was one of the first countries to use paper money.on one of his trips in the south of china, marco polo saw a strange animal which lived along the rivers. it looked like a large piece of wood and was more than ten feet long. in the front, it had two small legs. its eyes were very large. its mouth was big enough to eat a man and its teeth were long. most people believed marco polos stories. but others told him that they did not believe his descriptions. he answered that he did not tell half of what he saw in his book.53. according to the passage，marco polo_.a. came to china in the fourteenth century b. lived in asia before he came to chinac. left china in about 1285 d. was about 40 years old

names. in the united states, the three most popular names for girls are emily, emma and madison. for boys, they are michael, joshua and mathew. in britain, parents are likely to name their little girl grace, jessica or ruby and jack, thomas or oliver will go for boys.parents select names for their children for some reasons. the names are always meaningful. for example, if parents name their daughter joy, it means the parents wish their daughter to be joyful and bring joy to others. ruby is also a girls name. it means red precious stones. pearl has a similar meaning to ruby. when parents give names like those to their daughter, we can guess they cherish(珍爱) their daughter and wish her to be beautiful in the future.next, parents often pick names that can be shortened so that they can speak to their kid in a personal way. for example, william is a popular name in english-speaking countries. william can be shortened to will, willy. the same is true of the favorite names for a girl. for example, elizabeth can be shortened to beth, liza and liz.another reason is that parents sometimes name their children after famous persons such as an actor, pop star or sports personality. david becomes a popular name in britain because david beckham is a famous football star all over the world.title: 57 insome english-speaking countriesnames for boys andgirlsmichael, joshua, mathew, jack,
