Passage 1

The First Snow

The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows （草地、草原）, on the roofs of the living, on the graves of the dead!

All white save the river, that marked its course by a winding （蜿蜒的）black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees, that against the leaden（铅灰色的、沉闷的）sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty of their branches.

What silence, too, came with the snow! Every sound was muffled（抑制）, every noise changed to something soft and musical. No more tramping hoofs（马蹄哒哒声）, no more rattling（发出咯咯声）wheels!

Only the chiming of sleigh-bells（雪橇铃）, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.

Passage 2

What Life is About

What is life about? We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition.

We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love to do. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.

Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.

Life is a balance of work and play, family and personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise （妥协）but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts（本能）.

Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile（脆弱的）. Life is short. Do not take life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy life!

Passage 3

Opportunity

The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be

seized and acted upon in order to have value. So man people are so anxious to “get in” on a “ground floor opportu nity”, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That’s impossible.

Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. That’s not up to the opportunity. That’s up to you. It doesn’t matter what “floor”the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.

Passage 4

The Making of Freshman

How can a college freshman successfully complete his college education? Several pieces of advice are given here. Being a freshman, it's wise to interact with your classmates and the faculty (教职员工) and participate in activities on campus, so that you can come to adjust to college life. As to arranging time in college, you had better keep study and social activities simultaneously（同时地）. Studying in college is quite different from that in your high school. You should adopt new study methods and you are expected to attend all classes. This is important not only to facilitate（促进）understanding of course contents but also to help prepare for examinations. If you have any problems, get help from professors as early as possible. The last point you would follow is that you should take your interest into account in choosing your major in case you might change your idea frequently. If you follow these suggestions and keep learning from famous professors in college, you are sure to graduate with a bachelor's degree.

The university’s branch campuses in suburban areas In recent years more and more universities have built up their branch campuses in suburban areas. Now it is very difficult to find a university without a branch campus. Maybe no one can tell clearly when the first branch campus came out. But the reasons behind this phenomenon are obvious. Among these reasons, the enrollment expansion of universities plays a very vital role. As more and more freshmen are remitted to universities, the original facilities, including classrooms, apartments, dining houses, laboratories and the like, are not enough any more. What’s more, the land in the suburb is relatively low in price, which is affordable for most universities. Besides, the quiet environment in suburban areas is more suitable for students to study. As a college student, I think, it is necessary and beneficial for many universities to build up a branch campus. However the building of branch campuses brings some problems. For one thing, the students in some branch campuses cannot enjoy good enough facilities and the teachers due to limited resources. For another it leads to less direct communications among teachers and students. Therefore the university should take a full account before it decides to build up a branch campus. How to adapt youself to college life There are obvious differences between high school life and college life. First,college students will live in the dormitory with classmates who come from various places, and who may have different living habits. Second,college teachers ,instead of explaning in detail how to solve every problem, might only tell different approaches to the problem, and leave students to study and solve problems independently. Finally, in college,there is more free time for students to spend on. However how should the college freshman adapt himself to these differeces.

●Twenty Minutes’ Reading on P18-21 ●Translate the following passage into Chinese Trading error dims Everbright's prospects The record 523 million yuan ($85 million) fine may seem big, but Everbright Securities Co's troubles are far from over. The company is facing claims estimated at 2.7 billion yuan by investors alleged to have been misled by the company's deliberate withholding of information about its 7.2 billion yuan trading mistake. But lawyers said potential claimants may need more information from the China Securities Regulatory Commission investigation to pin Everbright down. According to the Securities Law of China, the principal should shoulder responsibility if insider trading incurs any losses. But Liu Mingjun, director of the capital market department of Beijing Celue Law Firm, told Xinhua News Agency that there is a lack of detailed interpretation and regulations in the Securities Law. In the United States, investors who can prove they suffered a loss as a result of insider trading would bring a civil claim against the broker responsible for it, said Gene Buttrill, capital markets practice partner at the global law firm Jones Day. So far, the commission has only handed down the penalty with a note saying that investors who felt cheated can seek redress through litigation. It has not disclosed details of its investigation that showed how Everbright stonewalled the stock exchange on Aug 16, allowing itself time to engage in insider trading to cover its potential losses. Following Everbright's former president Xu Haoming's resignation on Aug 22, Yang Chizhong, assistant executive, and Mei Jian, secretary of the board of directors, resigned on Saturday. Xu and Yang, together with Shen Shiguang, general manager of the accounting department, and Yang Jianbo, general manager of the strategic department, were fined by the commission and banned from any work involving the stock exchange. Buttrill of Jones Day said insider trading cases in the US carry both criminal and civil penalties. "For serious cases, jail sentences are often appropriate," he added. The share price of Everbright Securities plummeted 8.54 percent to close at 9.21 yuan on Monday, while the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index
