Guns were firing, and shells and bullets were flying about everywhere. After an hour of this, one of the soldier decided that the fighting was getting too dangerous for him, so he left the front line and began to go away from the battle. After he had walked for an hour, he saw an officer coming towards him. The officer stopped him and said, Where are you going?Im trying to get as far away as possible from the battle thats going on behind us, sir. the soldier answered.Do you know who I am? the officer said to him angerly. Im your commanding officer.The soldier was very surprised when he heard this and said, My God, I didnt know that I was so far back already!真没想到我已经往回跑了这么远!第一次世界大战期间，一场大战役正在进行。枪炮轰鸣，子弹横飞。这样持续了一小时后，有个士兵认为战斗太危险了，所以他离开前线，开始逃离战场。走了一个小时后，他看见一个军官朝他走过来。军官拦住他，问道：“你到哪儿去？”“长官，我正尽力躲开身后正在进行的战斗。”士兵回答说。“你知道我是谁吗？”军官生气地说：“我是你们的指挥官。” 士兵听了十分惊讶地说：“天哪，真没想到我已经往回跑了这么远!” 英国伦敦The British capital is more eclectic and electric than its been in years. Theres almost a feeding（渐渐增强的）frenzy（狂热）setting out to prove that London is the most pulsating （搏动的；悸动的）, vibrant （充满生气的）city on the planet, even rivaling New York for sheer energy, outrageous art, trendy restaurants, and a nightlife equal to none（无与伦比的）. Newsweek hailed London as a hip （时髦，时尚）compromise between the nonstop newness of Los Angeles and the aspic-preserved （这里指固定的，不变的）beauty of Paris-sharpened to New Yorks edge. Wine Spectator proclaims more modestly that The sun is shining brighter in London these days.Experimental theater is taking over stages that were built for Shakespeares plays; and upstart（暴富的）chefs are reinventing the bland dishes British mums made for generations into a new and inventive cuisine; for the first time ever, Brits （英国人）are even running the couture houses （高级服装店）of Dior and Givenchy. In food, fashion, film, pop music, the visual arts, and just about everything else, London stands at the cutting edge again, just as it did in the 1960s.However traditional London still lives, basically intact（原封不动的；未受损伤的). From high tea at Browns to the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, the city abounds with the culture and charm of days gone by.双语新闻Converting Navys fleet, biofuelsThe Obama administration wants half the Navys fleet to convert to biofuels by 2020 and become a major force in the development of the biofuels market - much in the same way the military in the past has served as the developer of technologies such as GPS, computers, and cell phones.奥巴马政府希望到2020年一半的美国舰队改用生物燃料，成为发展生物燃料市场的一个主要力量，就像美国军方在过去成为例如全球定位、电脑和移动电话等技术的开创者一样。Record high temperatures and a lack of rainfall are creating the worst drought conditions for U.S. farmers in a generation.

Government officials simply notify a property owner that they want his property and offer him a fair price. The owner can accept or reject that offer. If he thinks the offer is too low, he can go to court. In court, a jury will decide the fair price, which the government must pay.Usually, the owner cannot prevent the government from taking his land for public use, which includes roads, schools, government buildings, and economic development. However, the US Supreme Court recently expanded the meaning of “economic development” to include the construction of shopping centers, amusement parks, and even car washes. Property owners nationwide are now at greater risk of losing their property for the “private” good instead of the “public” good. They will see their land converted to Burger Kings and Chevy dealerships instead of post offices and parks.Just last week, the Ozark city council demanded that Johnny Miller sell all his land to the city. “It isnt right,” said Miller. “My family has owned this property for four generations. We grow crops and raise cattle. Were active in Ozarks social clubs and civic groups. Now the council wants to kick us out so that Walt Disney can build a new theme park here. Im not selling. Im going to fight this-since when is a mouse more important than an American family?”After the electionsThe former Prime Minister, Mr. Wentworth Lane, was defeated in the recent elections. He is now retiring from political life and has gone abroad. My friend, Patrick, has always been a fanatical opponent of Mr. Lanes Radical Progressive Party. After the elections, Patrick went to the former Prime Ministers house. When he asked if Mr. Lane lived there, the policeman on duty told him that since his defeat, the ex-Prime Minister had gone abroad. On the following day, Patrick went to the house again. The same policeman was just walking slowly past the entrance, when Patrick asked the same question. Though a little suspicious this time, the policeman gave him the same answer. The day after, Patrick went to the house once more and asked exactly the same question. This time, the policeman lost his temper. I told you yesterday and the day before yesterday, he shouted, Mr. Lane was defeated in the elections. He has retired from political life and gone to live abroad!I know, answered Patrick, but I love to hear you say it!春天：Spring Spring is a delightful season. The temperatures are moderate, and the blooming trees and flowers make the city bright with colors.
