So he sits all day long hid in a tree, or in a hole of a wall, out of sight. As soon as it is night he comes out, and flies round and round, in search of mice, or small birds. When he flies, his wings do not make a noise. So the mice and birds do not hear him till he is quite near. The birds know him well, and are in great fear of him. When they find him out by day, they come and peck at him with all their might. He is then half blind, and he does not see how to fight with them. Look how they peck him! Poor owl! Fly back to your hole as fast as you can.1.4.4 The Diamond That Disappeared For workers at one of Londons Graff jewelry shops, there is a date which is not easily forgotten. About thirty years ago, a well-dressed man entered the store looking like an ordinary customer. Once inside, he pulled out a gun, and another man followed with a grenade. The two thieves quickly took the finest jewels from the displays. They also took the stores most famous piece: the 45-carat Marlborough diamond. This pigeon-egg-sized diamond was worth 400,000 pounds at the time. The robbers got out of the store with over 1.4 million pounds in jewels.They were clever, but not quite clever enough. As they got off the plane in Chicago 11 hours later, the police were waiting. They quickly identified and arrested Joseph Scalise and Arthur Rachel for the crime. To the policemens surprise, however, the stolen jewels were not in the mens luggage. To this day, the location of those jewels- including the Marlborough diamond- remains a mystery.1) B2) 1. B 2.

Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound. Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. “Nothing in particular,” she replied. I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such responses, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough, shaggy bark of a pine. In the spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening Nature after her winters sleep. I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions; and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently in a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have cool waters of a brook rush through my open fingers. To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug. To me the pageant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips. 我常常想，如果每个人在他成年的早期有一段时间致瞎致聋，那会是一种幸事，黑暗会使他更珍惜视力，寂静会教导他享受声音。我不时地询问过我的能看见东西的朋友们，以了解他们看到什么。最近，我的一个很好的朋友来看我，她刚从一片森林里散步许久回来，我问她看到了什么，她答道：“没什么特别的。”如果我不是习惯了听到这 种回答，我都可能不相信，因为很久以来我已确信这个情况：能看得见的人却看不到什么。我独自一人，在林子里散步一小时之久而没有看到任何值得注意的东西，那怎么可能呢？我自己，一个不能看见东西的人，仅仅通过触觉，都发现许许多多令我有兴趣的东西。我感触到一片树叶的完美的对称性。我用手喜爱地抚摸过一株白桦那光潮的树皮，或一棵松树的粗糙树皮。春天，我摸着树干的枝条满怀希望地搜索着嫩芽，那是严冬的沉睡后，大自然苏醒的第一个迹象。我抚摸过花朵那令人愉快的天鹅绒般的质地，感觉到它那奇妙的卷绕，一些大自然奇迹向我展现了。有时，如果我很幸运，我把手轻轻地放在一棵小树上，还能感受到一只高声歌唱的小鸟的愉快颤抖，我十分快乐地让小溪涧的凉水穿过我张开的手指流淌过去。对我来说，一片茂密的地毯式的松针叶或松软而富弹性的草地比最豪华的波斯地毯更受欢迎。对我来说四季的壮观而华丽的展示是一部令人激动的、无穷尽的戏剧。这部戏剧的表演，通过我的手指尖端涌淌出来。1) D2) 1.

One Sunday morning, the warm sun came up and-POP!-out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar. He started to look for some food. On Monday he ate through one apple, but he was still hungry. On Tuesday he ate through two pears, but he was still hungry. On Wednesday he ate through three plums, but he was still hungry. On Thursday he ate through four strawberries, but he was still hungry. On Friday he ate through five oranges, but he was still hungry. On Saturday he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage,one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon. That night he had a stomachache. The next day was Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf, and after that he felt much better. Now he wasnt hungry any more - and he wasnt a little caterpillar any more. He was a big, fat caterpillar. He built a small house called a cocoon, around himself. He stayed inside for more than two weeks. Then he nibbled a hole in the cocoon, pushed his way out and. He was a beautiful butterfly.2) 1. lay 2. caterpillar 3. plums 4.strawberries 5. icecream cone 6. pickle 7. salami 8. lollipop 9. cherry 10. sausage 11. cupcake 12. watermelon 13. cocoon 14. stomachache 2.5.3 On InstinctWho taught the bird to build her nest, Of wool, and hay, and moss?Who taught her how to weave it best, And lay the twigs across?Who taught the busy bee to fly Amongst the sweetest flowers;And lay her store of honey by,To eat in winter hours?Who taught the little ants the way Their narrow holes to bore,And through the pleasantest summer dayTo gather up their store? -Twas God who taught them all the way, And gave their little skill;And teaches children, when they pray,To do his holy will.2.5.4 The Worlds Artist: Michelangelo One look at Michelangelos masterpieces reveals why he became a world-famous artist. During his lifetime, he mastered painting, writing poetry, designing buildings and making sculptures. Michelangelo was truly a one-of-a-kind artist.His early years When Michelangelo was born in Caprese, Italy, in 1475, his mother was in poor health. For that reason, he was sent to live with a stonecutters family. There, the young child first learned to love cutting large pieces of stone into shapes. Michelangelo later returned to live his father in Florence. His father soon realized how intelligent the boy was and sent him away to school. Michelangelo, though, wasnt very interested in school and spent much more time drawing than studying. An art student that he knew convinced him to study the art of painting. But this angered his father, who wanted him to become a successful businessman or merchant. However, at 13 Michelangelo became an apprentice to a famous painter. His famous works Growing up during the Renaissance, Michelangelo was influenced by many great artists and works of art. Soon he was creating his own art, and by 16, he had finished his first two sculptures. By 25, Michelangelo had completed what some call the worlds greatest sculpture, the Pieta. The statue of Mary holding her dead son Jesus amazed everyone because of Marys emotionless expression. This was the only sculpture ever signed the the artist. In 1501, Michelangelo began his next masterpiece, a statue of the Bible hero David. People marveled at the 5.17-meter statue because the human form was extremely lifelike. Due to Michelangelos fame, Pope Julius II selected him to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Beginning in 1508, Michelangelo spent the next four years painting from a high, wooden platform. When he had finished, over 300 figures covered the chapel ceiling!Artists today still get inspiration from Michelangelo, the man many call the worlds greatest artist.1) 1. A 2. B 3.

Just then her mother sent for her, and then Romeo found out that the lady on whom he had set his hearts hopes was Juliet, the daughter of Lord Capulet, his sworn foe. So he went away, sorrowing indeed, but loving her none the less. Then Juliet said to her nurse, “Who is that gentlemen that would not dance?”“His name is Romeo, and a Montagu, the only son of your great enemy,” answered the nurse. Then Juliet went to her room, and looked out of her window, over the beautiful green-grey garden, where the moon was shining. And Romeo was hidden in that garden among the trees-because he could not bear to go right away without trying to see her again. So she-not knowing him to be there- spoke her secret thought aloud, and told the quiet garden how she loved Romeo. And Romeo heard and was glad beyond measure. Hidden below, he looked up and saw her fair face in the moonlight, framed in the blossoming creepers that grew round her window, and as he looked and listened, he felt as though he had been carried away in a dream, and set down by some magician in that beautiful and enchanted garden. “Ah-why are you called Romeo?” said Juliet. “Since I love you, what does it matter what you are called? ” “Call me but love, and Ill be new baptized-henceforth I never will be Romeo,” he cried, stepping into the full white moonlight from the shade of the cypresses and oleanders that had hidden him.She was frightened at first, but when she saw that it was Romeo himself, and no stranger, she too was glad, and, he standing in the garden below and she leaning from the window, they spoke long together, each one trying to find the sweetest words in the world, to make that pleasant talk that lovers use.1) C2) 1.

I went at once to a shop where they sold toys for children. Being charmed with the sound of a whistle that I had seen by the way, in the hands of another boy, I handed over all my money for one. I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but disturbing all the family. My brothers and sisters and cousins, when I told of the bargain I had made, said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed at me so much for my folly that I cried with vexation. Thinking about the matter gave me more chagrin than the whistle gave me pleasure.1) 1. The author was charmed with the sound of a whistle. 2. The authors friends gave him the money. 3.

Chagrin3.5.2 On KnowledgeBy W . F . Markwick and W . A . Smith1There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom, but without the one the other cannot be gained. We cannot have a harvest of wheat without seed and skill of cultivation. Knowledge is the root of wisdom; wisdom is the ripe fruit of knowledge.2The love of knowledge has been characteristic of most great men. They not only loved knowledge but they were willing to work hard to attain it. When a man wins success, people say, “He is a genius.”But the real cause for his success was that the love of knowledge led to the effort to obtain it.3Useful knowledge is the knowledge which is of benefit to ourselves and to others; and that is the most important which is the most useful. It is the belief of many people that knowledge is better than riches, and that its possession brings more comfort to the owner than anything else.4The power of intellectual knowledge, without the power of moral principle, often tends to evil. Character is the criterion of knowledge. Not what a man has, but what he is, is the question. The quality of soul is more than the quantity of information. If we have noble purpose, our intellectual attainments will naturally turn to the loftiest uses.1） A2） 1. Knowledge is the root of wisdom; wisdom is the ripe fruit of knowledge. 2.

The quality of soul is more important. 3) 关于知识W . E . Markwick and W . A . Smith1智慧不同于知识，然而没有知识，也无法得到智慧，就如同没有种子和耕耘技术就没有收获。知识是智慧的源泉，智慧是知识的硕果。2伟人们教热爱知识，不仅如此，他们还孜孜以求地获取知识。一个人成功之后，人们往往说：“因为他是个天才。”而真正的原因是他对知识的渴求使他拥有了知识。3能够给我们自己和别人都带来益处的知识才是有用的知识。而最有用的知识才是最重要的知识。许多人相信：知识比财富更可贵，拥有知识比其它任何东西都令人充实。4 世智辨聪的知识如果没有道德规范，常会导致邪恶。人品是评判知识的标准。问题的关键在于成为什么样的人而不是拥有什么。心灵的品质比知识的多少更重要。高尚的理论会使我们心灵的成就发挥在最崇高有益的方向。3.5.3 Hans Christian Andersens Fairy TaleThe Princess and The Pea Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it should be. So he came home again and was sad, for he would have liked very much to have a real princess. One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard at the city gate, and the old king went to open it. It was
