Unit 5

These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this morning’s paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at Kobe. He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years. I knew him very little, but he interested me because once he gave me a great surprise. Unless I heard the story from his own lips, I should never have believed that he was capable of such an action. It was more startling because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite type. Here if ever was a man all of piece. He was a tiny little fellow, not much more than five feet four in height, and very slender, with white hair, a red face much wrinkled, and blue eyes. I suppose he was about sixty when I knew him. He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and station.

Unit 6

Once upon a time, technology, we thought, would make our live easier. Machines were expected to do our work for us, leaving us with ever-increasing quantities of time to waste away on idleness and pleasure.

But instead of liberating us, technology has enslaved us. Innovations are occurring at a bewildering rate: as many now arrive in a year as once arrived in a millennium. And as each invention arrives, it eats further into our time.

The motorcar, for example, promised unimaginable levels of personal mobility. But now, traffic in cities moves more slowly than it did in the days of the horse-drawn carriage, and we waste our lives stuck in traffic jams.

Unit 7

Long before the Boeing brought down the towers, poet Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote “grief return with the revolving year.” So it is with New York.

The time it took the Earth to circle the sun was time enough to clear the wreckage, but not enough to fade the memory of what happened there.

It was time enough to plan memorials, but not enough to fill the gaping wound in lower Manhattan.

For what is a year but a thin sliver of history, a beat of a hummingbird’s wing? CLOZE

You see that young man swimming out at sea? He’s trying to swim out to the beacon and back. He must be insane to have committed himself to such a ting. The current is far too strong. To be candid, I would n’t attempt it. I dare say few swimmers are capable of such a feat. I met him on the beach before he set out. I don’t mind what he was going to do, because he didn’t look in good condition at all. Far from it. He may have had a good constitution once, but he had clearly let himself go all to pieces. However, it seems like he had no choice. He told me that he had gone broke, not a penny left, and that old Burton would only find him a vacancy in his firm if he did the swim. That was another surprise. Burton seems such a mild-mannered man, kind to everybody. Perhaps he thought the young man would not have the courage, that he

would funk it. Then, again, perhaps Burton knew he was sending the young man to his death, but was too cold-blooded to care. It only goes to show how deceptive appearances can be.

Can you switch off form the cares of life and relax? Many people cannot. They feel instead that they are obliged to be on the go all the time. The pace of life seems to grow ever faster. As the result, feelings of stress are common as people struggle to cope with what they see as a shortage of time. Such widespread feelings are in part caused by the large quantity if information that comes pouring in on us. “All man,”said Aristotle,”“by the nature desire to know.” But it is no longer possible, as it was in the past, for an individual to master the whole range of human knowledge. Instead, any individual, no matter how smart he is, can only command a fraction of total knowledge available. It may be argued that it is futile to even attempt to do so. We should learn to set more realistic goals for ourselves if we are to hope to escape from the tyranny of time.

Corky Siemaszko’s snapshots provide us with an insight into the mood of the American people following in the tragic events of 9/11. they start with two pieces written in the immediate of aftermath of the attack. These clearly reveal the state of chaos into which New Yorkers felt they had been plunged by the toppling of the twin towers. Balancing widespread feelings of shock came the welling up of a strong sense of solidarity with each other in the face of a common enemy. Together with this came a natural desire to take revenge on those responsible. A year later the snapshots reveal a city and a nation thinking back on the fateful events of 9/11 while mourning those who perished in the attacks.

八年级英语期末阅读

In western countries, people always talk about the weather, but nobody can do anything about it. That is the truth. They usually begin their talks with "A nice day, isn't it?" "Do you think it will rain?" "What a fine day!" etc. Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be like. But they can never agree with one another. One man may say, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow." Another man would say, "No, it's going to be fine tomorrow.” People are often looking for the weather that they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something that could tell him it's going to rain; He won't believe anything else. When friends want to have a travel, they are sure that the weather is going to clear up very quickly. Almost everyone listens to what the weather man says. But he doesn't always tell us what we want, and once in a while he makes a mistake. Still, he probably comes closer to being correct than anyone else. 51. "Nobody can do anything about the weather" means ____. A. nobody can change weather B. nobody can talk about weather C. nobody can make weather D. nobody likes weather 52. ____ is a common way to start a talk. A. Smile B. Talking about weather C. Keeping silent D. Asking each other's names 53. Many people hope the weather will be ____. A. cloudy B. like what they like to be C. rainy D. fine 54. A weatherman probably is a man who ____. A. can see weather B. can change weather C. reports weather D. is made of weather 55. When it is cloudy in the east, you know that ____ tomorrow. A. it will be still cloudy B. it will be fine C. it is going to rain D. A or B or C ABBCD Feeling left out A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes． It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends. But how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends. Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite someone to play
