第一篇：综合背诵段落及翻译

Unit 1 In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, led his Grand Army into Russia.1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑·波拿巴率大军入侵俄罗斯。

He was prepared for the fierce resistance of the Russian people defending their homeland.他准备好俄罗斯人民会为保卫祖国而奋勇抵抗。

He was prepared for the long march across Russian soil to Moscow, the capital city.他准备好在俄罗斯广袤的国土上要经过长途跋涉才能进军首都莫斯科。

But he was not prepared for the devastating enemy that met him in Moscow--the raw, bitter, bleak Russian winter.但他没有料到在莫斯科他会遭遇劲敌—俄罗斯阴冷凄苦的寒冬。

In 1941, Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany, launched an attack against the Soviet Union, as Russia then was called.1941年，纳粹德国

元首阿道夫·希特勒进攻当时被称作苏联的俄罗斯。

Hitler's military might was unequaled.希特勒的军事实力堪称无敌。

His war machine had mowed down resistance in most of Europe.他的战争机器扫除了欧洲绝大部分地区的抵抗。

Hitler expected a short campaign but, like Napoleon before him, was taught a painful lesson.希特勒希望速战速决，但是，就像在他之前的拿破仑一样，他得到的是痛苦的教训。

The Russian winter again came to the aid of the Soviet soldiers.仍是俄罗斯的冬天助了苏维埃士兵一臂之力。

Unit 2 Two of the most frustrating things about driving a car are getting lost and getting stuck in traffic.开车最头疼的两大麻烦是迷路和交通堵塞。While the computer revolution is unlikely to cure these problems, it will have a positive impact.虽然计算机革命不可能彻底解决这两个问题，但却会带来积极的影响。

Sensors in your car tuned to radio signals from orbiting satellites can locate your car precisely at any moment and warn of traffic jams.你汽车上与绕轨道运行的卫星发出的无线电信号调谐的传感器能随时精确地确定你汽车的方位，并告知交通阻塞情况。

We already have twenty-four Navstar satellites orbiting the earth, making up what is called the Global Positioning System.我们已经有24颗环绕地球运行的导航卫星，组成了人们所说的全球卫星定位系统。They make it possible to determine your location on the earth to within about a hundred feet.通过这些卫星我们有可能以小于100英尺的误差确定你在地球上的方位。

At any given time, there are several GPS satellites orbiting overhead at a distance of about 11,000 miles.在任何一个特定时间，总有若干颗全球定位系统的卫星在11000英里的高空绕地球运行。

Each satellite contains four “atomic clocks,” which vibrate at a precise frequency, according to the laws of the quantum theory.每颗卫星都装有4个“原子钟”，它们根据量子理论法则，以精确的频率振动。

As a satellite passes overhead, it sends out a radio signal that can be detected by a receiver in a car's computer.卫星从高空经过时发出能被汽车上计算机里的接收器辨认的无线电信号。

The car's computer can then calculate how far the satellite is by measuring how long it took for the signal to arrive.汽车上的计算机就会根据信号传来所花的时间计算出卫星有多远。

Since the speed of light is well known, any delay in receiving the satellite's signal can be converted into a distance.由于光速为人熟知，接收卫星信号时的任何时间迟缓都能折算出距离的远近。

Unit 3 Had he checked with his university to see if there were any graduates working at Mackay whom he could interview?

他可曾在就读的大学里查问过有没有校友在本公司就职，以便向他们了解一些情况? Had he asked any friends to grill him in a mock interview?

他可曾请朋友向他提问，对他进行模拟面试？

Did he go to the library to find newspaper clippings on us? 他可曾去图书馆查找过有关本公司的剪报？

Did he write a letter beforehand to tell us about himself, what he was doing to prepare for the interview and why he'd be right for the job?

他事先有没有写封信来介绍自己，告诉我们自己为这次面试在做哪些准备，自己何以能胜任此项工作？

Was he planning to follow up the interview with another letter indicating his eagerness to join us?

面试之后他是否打算再写一封信，表明自己加盟本公司的诚意？

Would the letter be in our hands within 24 hours of the meeting, possibly even hand-delivered?

这封信会不会在面试后的24小时之内送到我们手上，也许甚至是亲自送来？

The answer to every question was the same: no.他对上述每一个问题的回答全都一样：没有。

That left me with only one other question: How well prepared would this person be if he were to call on a prospective customer for us? I already knew the answer.这样我就只剩一个问题要问了：如果此人代表本公司去见可能成为我们客户的人，他准备工作会做得怎样？答案不言自明。

Unit 4 Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth.虽然布劳德和曼德尔对自己的国籍界定不同，他们都将国籍视为个人选择，而不是由出生地决定的。

And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business élite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971.而且，他俩都是达沃斯人，这可不是巧合。

达沃斯人指的是那些每年长途跋涉去瑞士阿尔卑斯山区小城达沃斯参加年度世界经济论坛—该论坛始于1971年—的国际商业精英们。

This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking，parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology.本周，布劳德和曼德尔将同其他2200余名企业高管、政界人士、学者、记者、作家和少数几位好莱坞明星一起，参加为时五天的交际活动、宴会和没完没了的认真的讨论。讨论话题林林总总，从大选后的伊拉克和非洲的艾滋病病毒到全球的石油供应和纳米技术的重大意义。

Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself.然而今年，或许比以往更甚的是，达沃斯论

坛的一个热门话题就是达沃斯本身。Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and Women share at least one belief: that globalization, the unimpeded flows of capital, labor and technology across national borders, is both welcome and unstoppable.尽管与会男女各不相同，但他们大多数有一个共同信念：全球化，亦即资本、劳动力和技术不受阻碍地跨国界流动，是值得欢迎和不可阻挡的。

They see the world increasingly as one vast, interconnected marketplace in which corporations search for the most advantageous locations to buy, produce and sell their goods and services.在他们看来，世界越来越像一个巨大的互相联系的市场。在这个市场里，企业寻求采购、生产及销售产品和服务的最佳地点。

Unit 5 I think the chief thing that struck me about

Burton was his kindliness.我想，伯顿当时给我印象最深的主要还是他这个人和善。

There was something very pleasing in his mild blue eyes.他那双温和的蓝眼睛有种令人愉快的神情。His voice was gentle;you could not imagine that he could possibly raise it in anger;his smile was benign.他说话的声音轻柔；你无法想象他会提高嗓门大发雷霆；他的笑容和蔼可亲。

Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows.这个人吸引你，是因为你从他身上感到他对别人的真正的爱。

At the same time he liked his game of cards and his cocktail, he could tell with point a good and spicy story, and in his youth he had been something of an athlete.同时他也喜欢玩牌，喝鸡尾酒，他能绘声绘色地讲个来劲儿的段子什么的，他年轻时多少还是个运动员呢。

He was a rich man and he had made every penny himself.他是个阔佬，但他的每一个便士都是自己挣来的。

I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so small and frail;he aroused your instincts of protection.我想，人们喜欢他还有一个原因，那就是他非常瘦小、脆弱，容易引起人们的恻隐之心。You felt that he could not bear to hurt a fly.你觉得他甚至连只蚂蚁都不忍伤害。

Unit 6 A more successful remedy may lie in understanding the problem rather than evading it.更有效的解决方式或许在于去理解这一问题，而不是回避这一问题。

Before the industrial revolution, people lived in small communities with limited communications.Within the confines of their village, they could reasonably expect to know

everything that was to be known, see everything that was to be seen, and do everything that was to be done.工业革命前，人们居住在交通联系不方便的小社区里。在本村范围内，人们自然而然地期望了解该了解的一切，见到该见的一切，做该做的一切。

Today, being curious by nature, we are still trying to do the same.But the global village is a world of limitless possibilities, and we can never achieve our aim.如今，生性好奇的我们仍试图这么做。然而，地球村是一个有着无限可能的世界，我们永远无法实现自己的目标。

It is not more time we need: it is fewer desires.We need to switch off the cell-phone and leave the children to play by themselves.We need to buy less, read less and travel less.We need to set boundaries for ourselves, or be doomed to mounting despair.我们需要的不是更多的时间：是更少的欲望。我们定要关掉手机，让孩子们自己玩耍。

我们定要少购物，少阅读，少出游。我们定要在有所为、有所不为方面给自己设定界限，不然则注定会越来越感到绝望。

Unit 8 The point of going somewhere like the Napo River in Ecuador is not to see the most spectacular anything.It is simply to see what is there.去厄瓜多尔纳波河这种地方不是为了观赏什么世界奇观，而只是去看一看那里有些什么。

We are here on the planet only once, and might as well get a feel for the place.人生在世，惟有一次，我们不妨去感受一下那个地方。

We might as well get a feel for the fringes and hollows in which life is lived, for the Amazon basin, which covers half a continent, and for the life that--there, like anywhere else--is always and necessarily lived in detail: on the tributaries, in the riverside villages, sucking

this particular white-fleshed guava in this particular pattern of shade.我们不妨去感受一下有生命生活其间的远方水乡山谷，去感受覆盖了半个大陆的亚马逊河流域，去感受那样一种生活――在那里，一如在别的地方――那种必定总是琐碎的生活：在各条支流上，在临水的村落里，在有着独特形状的阴凉处吮吸着有白色浆果的独特的番石榴。

What is there is interesting.The Napo River itself is wide and brown, opaque, and smeared with floating foam and logs and branches from the jungle.那里的一切都趣味盎然。纳波河河面宽阔，河水混浊，呈褐黄色，浮沫以及丛林里来的木段和树枝翻浮其上。

Parrots in flocks dart in and out of the light.Under the water in the river, unseen, are anacondas--which are reputed to take a few village toddlers every year--and water boas, crocodiles, and sweet-meated fish.成群的鹦鹉忽而飞进树荫里，忽而飞入阳光

里。水下潜伏着南美蟒蛇――据说每年都要吞吃几名村童――还有水蟒、鳄鱼，以及肉质鲜美的鱼类。

第二篇：经典演讲背诵段落

经典演讲背诵段落

人最宝贵的东西是生命。生命对每个人来讲只有一次。一个人的生命应该这样度过：当他回首往事时，不会因虚度年华而悔恨，也不会因碌碌无为而羞耻。在临死的时候，他能够说：我的整个生命和全部精力，都已献给了世界上最壮丽的事业——为人类的解放事业而斗争。

——［俄］奥斯特洛夫斯基

幸福并不在于单纯地占有金钱，幸福还在于取得成就后的喜悦，在于创造努力时的激情。务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励，而去疯狂地追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。如果这些暗淡的日子能使我们认识到，我们真正的使命不是要别人侍奉，而是要为自己和同胞们服务的话，那么，我们付出的代价就是完全值得的。——[美] 弗兰克林•罗斯福

我能奉献的惟有热血、辛劳、泪水和汗水。我们所面临的将是一场极为残酷的考验，我们面临的将是旷日持久的斗争和苦难。人类应当向自己的目标迈进。此刻，我精神振奋，满怀信心地承担起自己的任务。我确信，只要我们大家联合，我们的事业就不会挫败：“来吧，让我们群策群力，并肩前进！”

——[英] 乔治•萧伯纳

美国同胞们，不要问美国能为你们做些什么，应该问你们能为美国贡献些什么。全世界的同胞们，不要问美国将为你做些什么，应该问我们一同能为人类的自由做些什么。无愧于心是我们惟一可靠的奖赏，历史是我们行动最终的裁判。这一切让我们大步向前，去引领我们所热爱的这片土地。

——[美] 约翰•肯尼迪

只要动力仍在，人生之旅就尚未结束。终点之后的慢跑并非停止不前，因为活着便不能如此。活着就要有所作为，这才是生命的真谛。

——[美] 奥利佛•文德尔•荷默斯

树和草

人的生活方式有两种，第一种方式是像草一样活着，你尽管活着，每年还在成长，但是你毕竟是一棵草，你吸收雨露阳光，但是长不大。人们可以踩过你，但是人们不会因为你的痛苦，而他产生痛苦； 人们不会因为你被踩了，而来怜悯你，因为人们本身就没有看到你。所以我们每一个人，都应该像树一样的成长，即使我们现在什么都不是，但是只要你有树的种子，即使你被踩到泥土中间，你依然能够吸收泥土的养分，自己成长起来。当你长成参天大树以后，遥远的地方，人们就能看到你； 走近你，你能给人一片绿色。活着是美丽的风景，死了依然是栋梁之才，活着死了都有用。这就是我们每一个同学做人的标准和成长的标准。

河流的梦想

每一条河流都有自己不同的生命曲线，但是每一条河流都有自己的梦想，那就是奔向大海。我们的生命，有的时候会是泥沙，你可能慢慢地就会像泥沙一样，沉淀下去了。一旦你沉淀下去了，也许你不用再为了前进而努力了，但是你却永远见不到阳光了。所以我建议大家，不管你现在的是生命怎么样的，一定要有水的精神，像水一样不断积蓄自己的力量，不断的冲破障碍，当你发现时机不到的时候，把自己的厚度给积累起来，当有一天时机来临的时候，你就能够奔腾入海。

今天，我开始新的生活;今天，我的老茧化为尘埃。我在人群中昂首阔步，不会有人认出我来，因为我不再是过去的自己，我已拥有新的生命。

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天;我爱雄心勃勃的人，他们给我灵感;我爱失败的人，他们给我教训;我爱王

侯将相，因为他们也是凡人;我爱谦恭之人，因为他们非凡;我爱富人，因为他们孤独;我爱穷人，因为穷人太多了;我爱少年，因为他们真诚;我爱长者，因为他们有智慧;我爱美丽的人，因为他们眼中流露着凄迷;我爱丑陋的人，因为他们有颗宁静的心;我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。

坚持不懈，直到成功。

我不因昨日的成功而满足，因为这是失败的先兆。我要忘却昨日的一切，是好是坏，都让它随风而去。我信心百倍，迎接新的太阳，相信“今天是此生最好的一天”。只要我一息尚存，就要坚持到底，因为我已深知成功的秘诀：坚持不懈，终会成功。

今天是我生命中的最后一天；

生命只有一次，而人生也不过是时间的累积。因此，我珍惜今天的一分一秒，因为它们将一去不复返。我无法把今天存入银行，明天再来取用。时间像风一样不可捕捉。每一分一秒，我要用双手捧住，用爱心抚摸，因为它们如此宝贵。垂死的人用毕生的钱财都无法换得一口生气。我无法计算时间的价值，它们是无价之宝！

我要笑遍世界；

我要用笑声点缀今天，我要用歌声照亮黑夜。我不再苦苦寻觅快乐，我要在繁忙的工作中忘记悲伤。我要享受今天的快乐，快乐不像粮食可以贮藏，我不是为将来而活。

我现在就付诸行动;我的幻想毫无价值，我的计划渺如尘埃，我的目标不可能达到。一切的一切毫无意义,除非我付诸行动。成功不是等待。如果我迟疑，她会投入别人的怀抱，永远弃我而去。此时，此地，此人。我现在就付诸行动。

面朝大海

海子

从明天起做个幸福的人 喂马劈柴周游世界

从明天起关心粮食和蔬菜 我有一所房子 面朝大海春暖花开

从明天起和每一个亲人通信 告诉他们我的幸福

那幸福的闪电告诉我的 我将告诉每一个人

给每一条河每一座山取个温暖的名字 陌生人我也为你祝福 愿你有一个灿烂前程

给每一条河每一座山取个温暖的名字 愿你有情人终成眷属 愿你在尘世获得幸福

我只愿面朝大海春暖花开

再东教育宣言：

再东教育不是一家完美的公司，我们可能经常在未来判断上犯错误，这是我们成长中的痛苦，但绝不能原谅自己犯原则上底线上的错误！

中国不需要再多一家英语教育公司，也不需要再多一家会挣钱的公司；

中国需要的是一家能真正帮助大学生讲一口流利英语的公司；

中国大学生需要的是一种文化，一种精神，一种信念,一种担当。因为只有这些才能让我们在人生及艰苦的创业中走得更远，更好。

成非凡之事者，必须有非凡之担当！

这是一个好时代，这是一个谁都不愿错过的时代！坚持理想，坚持原则能让我们再东教育成为这个时代中的时代！

If not now？ when?!If not me？who?!此时此刻 非我莫属

第三篇：段落翻译

汉译英：

蚯蚓是一种有益的动物。在地面上它是其他动物的食物。在地下，它为田野和花园制造肥沃的土壤。

蚯蚓能挖洞，而洞穴能使土壤疏松，因而使空气和水更容易达到植物的根部。这些洞穴还有利于土壤的排水。

蚯蚓把枯萎的树叶、草和花瓣拖进洞穴中。当这些植物垃圾腐烂后，就使土壤肥沃。

蚯蚓对制造优良的的表层土壤所起的作用是其它任何动物都比不上的。据估计，五万条蚯蚓一年内能在一英亩的土地上制造大约十八吨优良土壤。

The earthworm is a useful animal.On the ground it is food for other animals.Under the ground, it makes rich soil for fields and gardens.Earthworms dig tunnels that loosen the soil and make it for air and water to reach the roots of plants.These tunnels help keep the soil well drained.Earthworms drag withered leaves, grass and flowers into their burrows.When this plant litter decays, it makes the soil more fertile.No other animal is so useful in building up good topsoil.It is estimated that in one year fifty thousand earthworms carry about eighteen tons of the fine soil to the surface of an acre of land.我深深爱着的祖国――古老而又年轻。说她古老，她是一个有着数千年文明史的东方大国。中华民族以自己的勤劳和智慧，创造了灿烂的古代文明，对人类发展作出过重大贡献。说她年轻，新中国成立才60年，改革开放才30年。中国人民经过长期不懈的斗争建立了新中国，又经过艰苦的探索，终于找到了适合国情的发展道路――中国特色社会主义道路，文明古国焕发了青春活力。

My beloved motherland is a country both old and young.She is old, because she is a big Oriental country with a civilization stretching back several thousand years.With diligence and wisdom, the Chinese nation created a splendid civilization and made significant contributions to the progress of humanity.She is young, because the People's Republic is just 60 years old, and the country began reform and opening-up only 30 years ago.The Chinese people established the New China after unremitting struggles and ultimately found a development path suited to China's national conditions through painstaking efforts.This is the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.Following this path, our ancient civilization has been rejuvenated.中华传统文化底蕴深厚、博大精深。“和”在中国古代历史上被奉为最高价值，是中华文化的精髓。中国古老的经典――《尚书》就提出“百姓昭明，协和万邦”的理想，主张人民和睦相处，国家友好往来。“和为贵”的文化传统，哺育了中华民族宽广博大的胸怀。我们的民族，既能像大地承载万物一样，宽厚包容；又能像苍天刚健运行一样，彰显正义。

The traditional Chinese culture is rich, extensive and profound.Harmony, the supreme value cherished in ancient China, lies at the heart of the Chinese culture.The Book of History, an ancient classic in China for example, advocates amity among people and friendly exchanges among nations.The Chinese cultural tradition values peace as the most precious.This has nurtured the broad mind of the Chinese nation.The Chinese nation is generous and tolerant, just as Mother Earth cares for all living things.She is in constant pursuit of justice, just as the eternal movement of the Universe.很高兴出席世界经济论坛2009年年会，并发表特别致辞。首先，我要感谢施瓦布主席的盛情邀请和周到安排。本届年会意义特殊，在历史罕见的国际金融危机之中，各国政要、企业家和专家学者聚集在这里，围绕“重塑危机后的世界”这一主题，共同探讨维护国际金融稳定、促进世界经济增长的举措，探索全球综合治理之道，既有重要的现实意义，也体现了会议举办者的远见卓识。各方面热切期盼从这里听到富有智慧的声音，凝聚战胜危机的力量。我们有责任向世界传递信心、勇气和希望。我预祝本届年会取得成功！

I am delighted to be here and address the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2009.Let me begin by thanking Chairman Schwab for his kind invitation and thoughtful arrangements.This annual meeting has a special significance.Amidst a global financial crisis rarely seen in history, it brings together government leaders, business people, experts and scholars of different countries to jointly explore ways to maintain international financial stability, promote world economic growth and better address global issues.Its theme � “Shaping the Post-Crisis World” is highly relevant.It reflects the vision of its organizers.People from across the world are eager to hear words of wisdom from here that will give them strength to tide over the crisis.It is thus our responsibility to send to the world a message of confidence, courage and hope.I look forward to a successful meeting.青岛坐落在山东半岛南部，依山临海，天姿秀美，气候凉爽，人称“东方瑞士”。白天青岛宛如镶嵌在黄海边的绿宝石。夜里则像一只在大海中摆动的摇篮。难怪许多人乐意来这里疗养。

Qingdao, known as the “Switzerland of the Orient”, is situated on the southern tip of Shandong Peninsula.Wedged between hills and waters, the city is endowed with a beautiful scenery and a delightful climate.By day, she looks like a green gem inlaid in the coastline of the Yellow Sea and, at night, a cradle rocking upon the sea waves.No wonder so many people come to seek rest and relaxation.作为中国最早的教育中心和科学研究中心，北京大学聚集了中国优秀的专家学者，不断开拓创新，改造发展，以培养出的高质量人才和做出的高水平科学成果深刻影响和推动着中国高等教育的航程。一百年来，北京大学为代表的中国现代大学群，在中国走向现代化的历史进程中起到了重要的先锋作用，形成了光荣的革命传统和优良的学术传统。

As China’s earliest center of education and scientific research, Beijing University has gathered China’s most brilliant specialists and scholars, continuously opened up, blazed new trails, engaged itself in reform and development for training high-quality talent and achieving high-level scientific fruits that deeply influenced and advanced the range of China’s higher education.Over the past hundred years, this group of China’s contemporary universities, with Beijing University as its stellar representative, has played a pioneering role in China’s historical course towards modernization, forming a glorious revolutionary as well as an exemplary academic tradition.周恩来的品德、人格、风范、情怀为中华民族树立了一座精神丰碑。他那种勤勤恳恳、任劳任怨、全心全意为人民服务的奉献精神；那种艰苦朴素、严于律己、心底无私、一心为公的清廉精神；那种顾全大局，不计个人荣辱得失的牺牲精神；那种实事求是的求实精神；那种言行一致的磊落精神,新手卡；那种对党对国家和人民的高度责任感，工作一丝不苟，周密细致的精神，正是我们今天建设社会主义精神文明所迫切需要发扬光大的。

Zhou Enlai’s moral character, personality, style and noble sentiments constituted a paragon for the Chinese nation.His dedication as shown in his diligent, conscientious and hard working and whole-hearted service to the people, without any complaint;his incorruptibility as shown in his plain living, being strict with himself, selflessness and engrossment by public interest;his spirit of sacrifice as shown in his never being concerned about personal honor or disgrace, gain or loss in deference to the interests of the overall situation;his realistic approach of seeking truth from facts;his open and upright spirit of being as good as his words;his high sense of responsibility to the Party, the state and the people;his strict and careful spirit of working conscientiously and meticulously are all that we need urgently to carry forward in fostering our socialist spiritual civilization.A Paradise of the Birds Ba Jin

After we finished dinner at Chen’s little school, the heat of the day had already diminished.The sun retreated behind the hills, leaving brightly colored clouds hanging in the sky, over the hills and trees.“Let’s go boating!” Chen proposed, as we watched the mountain view by the pond in front of the school gate.“Great,” the rest of the group answered enthusiastically.We walked through a gravel path, and before long we reached the bank, where a pavilion stood made of straw.Filing through the pavilion, we found several small boats anchored under two big trees along the bank.One after another, we hopped into one of the boats.One friend loosened the rope, pushed the bamboo pole against the bank, which moved the boat to the center of the river.Three friends were rowing;Ye and I were sitting in the middle, enjoying ourselves in the scenery surrounding us.In the distance a pagoda was erected on the top of a hill, surrounded by many green trees.It was rare to see such a pagoda, and over there it was the hometown of my friend Ye.The river was wide, the water glistening without a ripple.The boat was steadily floating on the water, the three oars pulling in rhythm.Then the river narrowed at a certain point.Clusters of leaves stretched out touching the water’s surface.The leaves were in a lovely green color.There seemed to be many lush banyan trees, but I couldn’t make out where the main trunks of the trees were.My friends immediately corrected me as I referred to them as being many banyan trees.One of them said it was only one banyan, and another said there were two.I had seen many enormous banyans before, but it was the first time I saw such a gigantic one.As the boat drew nearer to the banyan, I finally got a good look at it.This was a huge tree, with countless branches, on which grew aerial prop roots.Many of the roots were dangling to the ground, some all the way into the soil.There were branches hanging above the water.Seen from a distance, the tree seemed to be reposed on the water.It was in the lush season(the tree bearing little fruits, many of which had fallen.)The banyan seemed to showcase its vibrant life energy to us.There were many leaves, clusters over clusters, with not even a tiny hole existing.The emerald green shining brightly in front of our eyes, it was like on each leaf there was a new life dancing.What a tree it is growing in the beautiful southern part of China!

The boat was moored under the tree for a moment, but we didn’t get onto the bank because it was so wet.A friend said it was known as the ‘paradise of the birds’ here.The local peasants forbade anyone to catch these birds.I thought I had heard some sounds of flapping wings, but by the time I shifted my eyes to that direction, I didn’t see any birds.There were many roots sticking out on the ground, looking like stakes.The soil was wet, perhaps for the tides frequently washed onto the shore.There were no birds in the “paradise of the birds,” I thought.The boat moved again, as a friend pushed the boat, and it drifted to the center of the river.Along the path in the crop fields on the shore there were some litchi trees, with clusters of the red weighty fruits hiding among the leaves.Our boat was heading towards there.A friend pulled the boat into a ditch with an oar.We moored the boat at the path, and jumped onto the bank.Two friends swiftly climbed up the trees, throwing down several clusters of litchis with leaves.Chen, Ye and I were down below catching them.After they came down, we ate the litchis as we headed back to the boat.On the following day, we boated to Ye’s hometown, the place we had seen the hills and the pagoda.Setting off from Chen’s little school, we passed the ‘paradise of the birds’ again.This time it was morning, and the sun was pouring over the water, as well as the branches.Everything was extremely bright.We stopped under the tree for a moment.It was very quiet at first, but then a burst of chirps broke the silence.Chen clapped his hands, and we saw a big bird flying over, then a second, and a third.We continued to clap, and soon the woods became very boisterous.Bird chirps were all over the place, and so were the birds, the big ones, small ones, variegated ones and black ones.Some perched on the branches, chirping;some were flying up;some were flapping their wings.I busied myself by watching them.Just as I saw this one clearly, I already missed the other one, and when I turned my eyes to the second one, the third one had flown off.A thrush flew out, but was startled by our clapping and then turned back into the woods.It stopped at a thin branch, and started to sing enthusiastically.The sounds were so beautiful.“Let’s go.” Ye rushed me to leave.As the boat was floating to the village under the pagoda, I kept turning back to look at the lush banyan left behind.I felt a little melancholy to leave this place.Yesterday, I was cheated by my eyes.The “paradise of the birds” is a real paradise for the birds!

June, 1933 in Guangzhou.Guo Yue of China returns the ball in the women's single finals against her teammate Li Xiaoxia at the world table tennis championships in Zagreb May 25, 2007.Guo beat Li 8-11, 11-7, 4-11, 2-11, 11-5, 11-2, 11-8 to win the women's singles title.北京时间5月25日，在萨格勒布世界乒乓球锦标赛女子单打决赛上，郭跃以大比分4－3逆转队友李晓霞，夺得了本届世乒赛女单冠军。

Zhang Yining and Guo Yan, both of China, picked bronze medals.张怡宁和郭燕获得了此次比赛的铜牌。

The 18-year-old Guo was jolted awake in the fifth set, sweeping three sets in a row to triumph 8-11, 11-7, 4-11, 2-11, 11-5, 11-2, 11-8.18岁的郭跃在第五局中调整了心态，连胜三局。

Fourth-seeded Guo, who stunned defending Olympic and world champion Zhang Yining in the semifinals, didn't find her touch until the end of the fourth set, in which she had once trailed 0-9.四号种子郭跃在半决赛的第四局中曾以0比9落后于未免世界冠军张怡宁，直到这一局快要结束才表现出自己的特长。

Guo used her forehand topspin and lightning backhand flicks to win the fifth set 11-5 and then the sixth 11-2.在第五局和第六局，郭跃使用正手击球和反手击球的战术分别以11-5和11-2轻松获胜。

Both players were technically correct in the final set but the championship game was usually a battle of minds.At the end of the fourth set the momentum was with Li, now it was with Guo.最后一局两位队员在技术上不分伯仲（均没有出现失误），但比赛往往也是一场心理素质的较量。

Li looked disconsolate as she made errors with Guo moving into a 4-0 lead.When the

players changed ends Guo was 5-0 ahead, prompting Li to call “Time Out”.She returned to serve a clean ace.由于自已的失误而导致郭跃以4-0领先，李晓霞有些郁郁寡欢。换场时，郭跃以5-0领先，李晓霞喊了暂停。回来后，凭发球获得一分。

Guo called “Time Out” with a 7-3 lead and then went ahead 10-4。

We had wanted to let him know that no matter how difficult things got in the world, there would always be people who cared about him.We ended up reminding ourselves instead.For Jimmy, the love with which we sang was a welcome bonus, but mostly he had just wanted to see everyone else happy again.Just as my father's death had changed Jimmy's world overnight, September 11th changed our lives;the world we'd known was gone.But, as we sang for Jimmy and held each other tight afterward praying for peace around the world, we were reminded that the constant love and support of our friends and family would get us through whatever life might present.The simplicity with which Jimmy had reconciled everything for us should not have been surprising.There had never been any limitations to what Jimmy's love could accomplish.Unit 2Para 10 page 10

Grant Wood instantly rose to fame in 1930 with his painting American Gothic, an

often-copied interpretation of the solemn pride of American farmers.The painting shows a serious-looking man and a woman standing in front of a farmhouse.He was strongly influenced by medieval artists and inspired by the Gothic window of an old farmhouse, but the faces in his composition were what captured the world's attention.Wood liked to paint faces he knew well.For the grave farmer he used his dentist, a sour-looking man.For the woman standing alongside him, the artist chose his sister, Nan.He stretched the models' necks a bit, but there was no doubt who posed for the portrait.Nan later remarked that the fame she gained from American Gothic saved her from a very boring life.Unit 6Para 7 Page 148

Although scientists still cannot predict earthquakes, they are learning a great deal about how the large plates in the earth's crust move, the stresses between plates, how earthquakes work, and the general probability that a given place will have an earthquake.Someday soon it may actually become possible to predict earthquakes with accuracy.However, even if prediction becomes possible, people who live in areas where earthquakes are a common occurrence will still have to do their best to prevent disasters by building structures that are resistant to ground movement and by being personally prepared.These precautions can make a great difference in saving lives and preventing the loss of homes.Education concerning how to survive an earthquake should be a major emphasis for all government programs and earthquake-related research projects.Unit 9Para 3 Page 229
