　　如果我休息,我就會(huì)生銹If I Rest, I Will Rust

　　The significant1 words found on an old key —"If I rest, I will rust"—would be an excellent motto for those who are lazy.

　　在一把舊鑰匙上發(fā)現(xiàn)了一則意義深遠(yuǎn)的銘文——如果休息,我就會(huì)生銹。對于那些懶散的人來說,這是一句至理名言。

　　Even the most diligent person might adopt it as a reminder. If one allows his abilities to rest, duanwenw.com like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust, and, finally, cannot do the work required of them.

　　甚至最為勤勉的人也以此為座右銘:如果一個(gè)人有才能卻不去運(yùn)用它們,這些才能很快就會(huì)像廢棄的鑰匙一樣銹跡斑斑,最終無法完成自己肩負(fù)的工作。

　　Those who wish to climb to great heights must constantly keep their abilities in use, so that they may unlock the doors to knowledge.

　　要想取得卓越的成就,就必須不斷運(yùn)用自身的才智,這樣知識(shí)的大門才會(huì)向你敞開。

　　Diligence keeps the key that opens the treasury of achievement bright. If Hugh Miller, after working hard all day in a mine, duanwenw.com had devoted his evenings to rest and relaxation, he would never have become a famous geologist4. The famous mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have found the key to the science of mathematics if he had given his spare moments to idleness. If the young Scottish man, Ferguson, had allowed his busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of measuring the positions of the stars, he would never have become a distinguished astronomer ..

　　勤奮令開啟成功寶庫的鑰匙恒久閃亮。如果休·米勒在采石場一整天的辛苦勞作后,將晚上的時(shí)光用于休息和消遣,他將不會(huì)成為名垂青史的地質(zhì)學(xué)家。如果著名數(shù)學(xué)家愛德蒙·斯通在閑暇之時(shí)無所事事,又怎會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)開啟數(shù)學(xué)之門的鑰匙?如果蘇格蘭青年弗格森在山坡上放羊時(shí)讓他活躍的大腦休息放松,而不是計(jì)算星星的位置,就不會(huì)成為一名杰出的`天文學(xué)家……

　　.Labor conquers all: not inconsistent or ill-directed labor, but faithful and unstopping daily effort, toward a well-directed purpose. Eternal diligence is the price of noble and enduring success.

　　勞動(dòng)可以征服一切——當(dāng)然,這里指的不是那些半途而廢、方向錯(cuò)誤的勞動(dòng),而是堅(jiān)定執(zhí)著、方向正確、日復(fù)一日的辛苦耕耘。只有堅(jiān)持不懈的勤奮,才能確保卓越而持久的成功。

　　In China, English is the indispensable suject for students to learn.

There is even a competition for foreigners to show their level of Chinese. I am so surprised by their insistance.

　　在中國,英語是學(xué)生來說是必不可少的學(xué)習(xí)科目。一些學(xué)生抱怨說,沒有必要學(xué)習(xí)英語,因?yàn)槲覀兩�活在中�?而當(dāng)我們放眼世界,我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn),越來越多的外國人在學(xué)習(xí)漢語。隨著世界變得越來越全球化,全世界都在關(guān)注著我們，外國人對我們的文化很感興趣。他們中的一些人學(xué)習(xí)中文因?yàn)樗麄兏杏X到巨大的商業(yè)潛力，想與我們做生意。甚至有節(jié)目來讓外國人展示他們的中文水平。他們的堅(jiān)持讓我很吃驚。外國人學(xué)習(xí)中文學(xué)得那么好,所以我們沒有理由放棄英語。

英語短文閱讀3

　　一閱讀方式總結(jié)

　　1.略讀。粗略地閱讀語言材料的面式讀法。通過略讀獲取閱讀材料的主要內(nèi)容和大意�？焖匍喿x時(shí)，訓(xùn)練學(xué)生略讀文章標(biāo)題判斷預(yù)測主要內(nèi)容。略讀首尾段、首尾句了解文章大意。

　　2.跳讀。帶著明確目的尋找特定信息，忽略無關(guān)內(nèi)容的點(diǎn)式閱讀。跳讀適用于細(xì)節(jié)檢索式問題。

　　如：Look Carefully and Learn

　　How did the students feel after they tasted the mixture?

　　首先歸納出問題的要點(diǎn)： How, students ,feel,

　　然后要求學(xué)生目光蛇形下移在規(guī)定的時(shí)間內(nèi)在文章中檢索出答案:

　　Instead of smiling, each of them made a face. The mixture tasted terrible.

　　3.組讀。以意群為單位，一組一組視讀。邊讀邊理解。減少眼停次數(shù)，縮短“眼腦直映”時(shí)間。

　　4.記憶。閱讀語言材料時(shí)，熟記文中的重要事實(shí)，情節(jié)是提高閱讀理解速度的重要手段。邊讀邊忘，便無法深入全面理解材料�；匾�，重讀等不良閱讀習(xí)慣會(huì)隨之出現(xiàn)。加強(qiáng)記憶能力的訓(xùn)練可以通過背誦重點(diǎn)句型、段落主題句、課文主要段落、結(jié)論，也可以在規(guī)定的時(shí)間之內(nèi)要求學(xué)生閱讀一段文章，然后復(fù)述該段文章的主要內(nèi)容。

　　二巧妙繞開生詞

　　1英語文章中不是所有的詞的功能都是同等的，有些詞擔(dān)負(fù)著傳達(dá)主要信息的功能，而有些詞主要起語法作用或者它所傳達(dá)的信息和下文的其他信息沒有聯(lián)系。

　　這類詞有：表示人名，地名，機(jī)構(gòu)名等專有名詞。遇到這些詞，只要我們能辨認(rèn)出它是專有名詞，就能理解文章而不必知道它的意思。比如在下面的句子中：

　　"In fact", says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, "there's even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep."兩個(gè)引號之間的部分就不必去管它。

　　類似的.還有："We have to totally change our attitude toward napping," says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University,the godfather of sleep research.

　　2我們不用弄清上面某些部分的原因是，它們的后面往往有一個(gè)同位語來解釋說明它們的意思。這就引起了我們不用弄懂所有單詞意思的第二個(gè)理由。也就是說如果我們對文章中的某一個(gè)單詞不熟悉，我們還可以根據(jù)統(tǒng)一篇文章中的其他信息來幫助判斷。這類信息有：同位語、下定義、解釋、舉例、同義詞、反義詞、上下義詞以及標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號（如破折號、冒號都表示解釋和說明）等。

英語短文閱讀4

　　一、題型要求

　　補(bǔ)全短文的設(shè)計(jì)思路是，給出一篇300-450詞的短文，其中有5處空白，文章后面有6段文字，要求應(yīng)試者根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容選擇5段文字，將其放回文章原有位置，以恢復(fù)文章原貌。這種題型重在考查應(yīng)試者把握文章結(jié)構(gòu)、掌握作者思路的能力。這是一種較高層次的閱讀理解能力，要求考生能夠從宏觀的角度把握文章的內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)，要想做好這類題，必須從語篇的角度，搞清楚文章的脈絡(luò)，吃透文章的意思。

　　二、解題技巧

　　補(bǔ)全短文是職稱英語六大題型中最難的一種題型，在做這種題型時(shí)要先預(yù)測選項(xiàng)，注意抓選項(xiàng)主干，猜測選項(xiàng)的大致意思，同時(shí)要注意連詞，代詞，名詞，形容詞，副詞等的出現(xiàn)。之后回到原文中看看空白處所在的位置，如果是在段首句，也許意味著是中心主題句，如果是在段尾句，也許意味著是中心主題句或是細(xì)節(jié)論述，如果是在段中，也許意味著是細(xì)節(jié)論述。最后根據(jù)空白處的前后句的意思，按先易后難的順序?qū)⒃�文恢�?fù)原貌。做完之后在把文章看一遍，檢查一下所填的順序是否符合文章二下文的要求。

　　這類題要求根據(jù)給定短文(原文)的意思，在6個(gè)選項(xiàng)句子(陳述句)中分別選出5個(gè)符合語法知識(shí)、邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)和前后內(nèi)容意思銜接的選項(xiàng)，補(bǔ)充到原文劃線的填充處，使原文成為一篇意思完整、前后連貫的短文，所以這類題實(shí)際上是段落填充題。這類題本意是要考查較高的閱讀能力、基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)(語法、詞匯等)和綜合邏輯思維推理能力，其難度較大，是最令人頭痛的題型，并且其每題占的分值高(2分，只比閱讀理解少1分)，加上各選項(xiàng)環(huán)環(huán)相扣，選錯(cuò)了一個(gè)至少錯(cuò)兩個(gè)甚至更多，所以填錯(cuò)一個(gè)選項(xiàng)，就意味著至少?zèng)]有了4分，這比所有類型的題的含金量都要高，不過，它也是把雙刃劍，容易丟分的題，也是最容易得分題，每選對一個(gè)，也一樣意味著其它選項(xiàng)選擇的成功率大大提高，何況只有1個(gè)干擾項(xiàng)，排除起來更容易。所以，對這類題要有信心、決心和細(xì)心，如果做得好，它比“閱讀理解”更容易拿分。

　　1、做題總思路：

　　從分析題型知道，這類題其實(shí)是前兩類考題(“閱讀判斷”和“概括大意與完成句子”)的綜合，說白一點(diǎn)，它只不過是要找出各選項(xiàng)在原文的出處而已，并且這個(gè)出處已經(jīng)確定了5個(gè)填充處給予選擇，從這點(diǎn)上說，比前兩類題更簡單。所以，做前兩類題的'步驟和技巧，特別是思路和邏輯推理方法，在這類題中運(yùn)用更合適、更能體現(xiàn)和更能發(fā)揮得淋漓盡致。

　　針對這類題的要求和特點(diǎn)：是要在6個(gè)選項(xiàng)句子(陳述句)中分別選出5個(gè)符合語法知識(shí)、邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)和前后內(nèi)容意思銜接的選項(xiàng)，補(bǔ)充到原文劃線的填充處(是在某段落之前、之后或兩句子之中)，使原文成為一篇意思完整、前后連貫的短文;根據(jù)其要求與特點(diǎn)，有的放矢，我們再次運(yùn)用綜合分析排除法來選出正確的答案：一是不“符合語法知識(shí)”的排除，二是不“符合邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)”的排除，三是不能使填充處“前后內(nèi)容銜接、意思連貫”的排除。

　　要正確運(yùn)用這些方法，當(dāng)然能通讀并讀懂原文最好，但很難做到并且沒有必要這樣做，我們的思路總是要化復(fù)雜為簡單、化難為易、化大為小來做題，所以，我們要把短文化為句子、句子化為單詞來做，這樣就簡單得多了。因此，做這類題的重點(diǎn)，一是選項(xiàng)句子，而選項(xiàng)句子重點(diǎn)是它的中心詞，包括：名詞、代詞和連接詞，這三種詞是我們必須重視的，也是我們了解該選項(xiàng)句子意思，運(yùn)用上述三種方法的前提，二是填充處的前后段或前后句子，弄清楚這個(gè)填充處所在位置的意義以及其前后段或前后句子的邏輯關(guān)系和內(nèi)容意思，也是運(yùn)用上述方法的前提。

　　2、做題步驟：(根據(jù)總思路和參照前兩類考題，分四步走)

　　(1)第一步：找出各選項(xiàng)句子中心詞：名詞、代詞和連接詞，了解這句子的大概意思(要該選項(xiàng)中劃出其中心詞并簡要寫也其大意)。對于中心詞的查找方法，除了直接查字典外，請參看前兩類考題所述技巧，在此不再贅述。建議：如果有點(diǎn)英語基礎(chǔ)，在做這一步之前最好快速游覽一個(gè)全文，了解全文大概是講什么的。然后，根據(jù)各選項(xiàng)句子的大概意思，初步設(shè)想一下它們最有可能的位置和彼此順序(當(dāng)然，這也可以不做);

　　(2)第二步：按順序了解某一個(gè)填充處前后段或前后句子的邏輯關(guān)系和大概內(nèi)容意思。這也是類似找中心句子與中心詞的方法，找出前后段最接近填充處的句子的中心詞(名詞、代詞和連接詞)，或者找出填充處前后句子的中心詞，了解其大概意思和相互間的邏輯關(guān)系;

　　(3)第三步：把選項(xiàng)句子中心詞及其大意與填充處前后段或前后句子的邏輯關(guān)系及大意進(jìn)行對照，運(yùn)用下述的做題技巧，綜合分析排除，確定最有可能的選項(xiàng)或直接確定答案;并把確定了的答案把它劃去和把最有可能的選項(xiàng)(A、B、C…)寫到填充處，無論能否確定答案，都要接著往下做下一個(gè)填空處，以如類推。因?yàn)檫@類題是6選5，基本上是一個(gè)蘿卜一個(gè)筐，每個(gè)選項(xiàng)最多只能用一次，并且基本上都必須用上，所以，不能確定最后唯一答案時(shí)，基本上可以通過做其它的填充處，甚至到最后把所有的填充處綜合起來推敲，也可以確定各填充處的答案，因此，不要急于求成，困死在某一個(gè)填充處上;

　　(4)第四步：利用綜合分析排除法，最后理順并最終確定各選項(xiàng)的所有位置。確定了所有答案后，劃去干擾項(xiàng)，把各選項(xiàng)對號入座，進(jìn)行檢查和印證。進(jìn)一步理順?biāo)鼈兊囊粚σ粚��?yīng)關(guān)系。如果存在較大的疑慮或者總是覺得不是很順而是覺得很勉強(qiáng)很別扭，你就要好好重做一遍了，這種情況下一定是亂點(diǎn)鴛鴦譜，搞錯(cuò)了選項(xiàng)。

　　About Sea 關(guān)于大海

　　I live in a small village. I have never seen sea. But I see it many times in the TV. It is very beautiful. In my hometown, the water in the river is a little yellow and the river is small. But the sea is different. In the TV, I can’t see the end of the sea and its water is blue. It is amazing. It is said that is voice and wind of the sea are also very comfortable. My ten years birthday wish is to have a look at sea.

　　我住在一個(gè)小村莊。我從沒看過海。但我在電視上看到過很多次。很漂亮。在我家鄉(xiāng)，河里的水是有點(diǎn)點(diǎn)黃的。但是大海卻是不一樣的。在電視上，我看不到海的盡頭而且水是藍(lán)色的`。真的很神奇。聽說大海的聲音和海風(fēng)也是很舒服的。我十歲生日的愿望就是去看海。

　　The Sea 大海

　　What do you know about the sea? Some people know about it, but others don't. The sea looks beautiful on a fine sunny day, but when there's a strong wind, it's very rough. What else do you know about it?

　　Of course, the sea is very big. In the world, there is more sea than land. Do you know Hainan Island? It's really very nice. We can see beaches, trees and the sea. We can swim and visit a lot of beautiful places.

　　When you swim in the sea, you feel that the water is salty.

　　At last, I tell you about the Dead Sea. Fish can't live in it, because it's dangerous. This sea is too salty.

　　The sea is nice, but sometimes it's not good.

　　你是怎么知道大海？有些人不了解它，但其他人沒有。美麗的大�？雌饋硎窃谝粋�(gè)陽光明媚的一天，但是當(dāng)有一個(gè)強(qiáng)烈的風(fēng)，它很粗糙。知道你還做了什么？

　　當(dāng)然，海是非常大的。在這個(gè)世界上，有更多的海洋資源。你知道海南島嗎？這真的很漂亮。我們可以看到海灘，樹和海。我們可以游泳和參觀很多美好的'地方。

　　當(dāng)你在海中游泳，你覺得這水是咸的。

　　最后，我告訴你一些關(guān)于死海。魚不能生活在它，因?yàn)樗�是危險(xiǎn)的。海水是咸的。

　　海是漂亮的，但有時(shí)是不好的。

　　WEALTH AND HAPPINESS 富裕 和 幸福

　　There is no same opinion among people as to the view of wealth. Some people may think that wealth is the most important and powerful thing in life, while some other people believe that there are many things that cannot be bought with wealth.As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. There’s an old proverb, “Money can cure hunger, but it can’t cure happiness” which simply means wealth can buy us some material things but cannot make us happy and free from sadness or worries.

　　在人們看來，財(cái)富的觀點(diǎn)是不一樣的。有些人可能認(rèn)為財(cái)富是人生中最重要和最重要的東西，而另一些人則認(rèn)為，有很多東西是無法用財(cái)富來購買的，而就我而言，我同意后者的觀點(diǎn)。有一句古老的諺語：“錢能治好，但不能治好幸福”，簡單地說，財(cái)富能給我們買點(diǎn)東西，卻不能使我們快樂，不讓悲傷和煩惱。

　　In fact, happiness, true love, friendship, time, health and so on are the most valuable things in the world and can never ever be bought with money. Those who just try their best to make money can’t realize the true meaning of life and will be the slaves for money. They can’t enjoy happiness, for they have lost everything, time, relatives, love except money. Then, what can money do? No one will share the happy moment with them.So, I think, money is not at all powerful while happiness is more important. If we always have happiness, we’ll never give up the belief to life.

　　事實(shí)上，幸福，真正的愛情，友誼，時(shí)間，健康等等都是世界上最有價(jià)值的.東西，永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)被金錢買來。那些盡自己最大努力賺錢的人，無法實(shí)現(xiàn)人生的真正意義，并將成為金錢的奴隸。他們不能享受幸福，因?yàn)樗麄兪�去了一切，時(shí)間，親人，愛除了金錢。那么，錢怎么辦？沒有人會(huì)和他們一起分享快樂的時(shí)刻，所以，我認(rèn)為，金錢不是萬能的，而幸福更重要。如果我們永遠(yuǎn)擁有幸福，我們就永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)放棄對生活的信念。

　　On-line Shopping Carnival 網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物狂歡節(jié)

　　When it comes to November 11, what’s on your mind? Well, as to the old generations, it’s only an ordinary day; however,the young generations will consider it as the Singles’ Day as well as the on-line shopping carnival. In fact, on November 11th, 20xx, Tmall and Taobao(the biggest Chinese online shopping platform) has sold out more than 35 billion Yuan goods, this data has astonished the media at home and abroad.Apparently, people have more interests on cyber shopping than spend the night with their single friends. Some home media even suggest that November 11thshould be the Chinese on-line shopping carnival.

　　當(dāng)人們提到11月11日，你想到了什么？對于老一輩的人來說，這一天和平常一樣；然而，對于年輕人來說，這天不僅僅是“光棍節(jié)”，也是網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物狂歡節(jié)。事實(shí)上，在今年的雙11，天貓和淘寶（中國最大的網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物平臺(tái)）賣出了價(jià)值高達(dá)350多億元的商品，這一數(shù)據(jù)驚呆了國內(nèi)外的媒體。顯而易見，大家對網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物的熱情超出了與單身好友共度“光棍”節(jié)的興趣。有些國內(nèi)的`媒體甚至建議每年的11月11日應(yīng)該是中國的網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物狂歡節(jié)。

　　In 20xx, Jack Ma, the CEO of Tmall andTaobao, had coined the term “Double Eleven”, aimed to encourage the single people to do something to celebrate their own festival. Instead of datinglovers, people go on-line shopping to relive the loneliness. According to the survey, China had 564 million Internet users at the end of last year and 180 million single people. And the single people are the main force of the China’s spending power. The debut was a great success. Then “11.11” has an unusual meaning, which stands for on-line shopping carnival.

　　在20xx年，天貓和淘寶的首席執(zhí)行官馬云，創(chuàng)造出了一個(gè)新詞：“雙11”，目的是為了鼓勵(lì)單身朋友去做些與眾不同的事情，以此慶祝他們自己的節(jié)日。沒有情人約會(huì)，那就上網(wǎng)購物減輕自己的孤獨(dú)感吧。調(diào)查顯示:去年中國的網(wǎng)民有五億六千四百萬人，其中有一億八千萬的單身漢。而這些單身漢正好是網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物的主力軍。于是，“雙11”被賦予了不同的意義，那就是網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物狂歡節(jié)。

　　Comparing with the traditional shopping,the cyber shopping has more distinguish features, which quite fit the young generations’ taste. People do not need to go outside, just click their mouse, the goods will be home. The best part is you can do it anywhere, anytime. All you need is acredit card. What we can predict in the future is that on-line shopping is not going to fade away, instead, it will boost like the mushrooms after springrains.

　　和傳統(tǒng)的購物相比，網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物有著更為明顯的特點(diǎn)，這更符合年輕人的口味。人們不需要外出，只需點(diǎn)擊一下鼠標(biāo)，商品就會(huì)送到家。最棒的是你可以在任何時(shí)間任何地點(diǎn)進(jìn)行購物。你只需一張信用卡。我們可以預(yù)測到在將來，網(wǎng)購不會(huì)淡出我們的生活，它就像雨后春筍，不斷增長。

　　These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than clerks who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as' white collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.

　　When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls (n.工作服) and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office as a junior clerk.

　　The Three Ways of Man to Preserve Meat

　　Finding enough meat was a problem for primitive man．Keeping it for times when it was scarce was just as hard．Three ways were found to keep meat from spoiling：salting，drying，and freezing．

　　People near salty waters salted their meat．At first they probably rubbed dry salt on it，but this preserved only the outside．Later they may have pickled their meat by soaking it in salt water．

　　In hot，dry lands，men found that they could eat meat that had dried while it was still on the bones．They later learned to cut meat into thin strips and hang it up to dry in the hot air．

　　Men in cold climates found that frozen meat did not spoil．They could leave their meat outside and eat it when they pleased．

　　人類儲(chǔ)存肉的三種方法

　　對原始人類來說，獲得充足的肉是件難事，而把肉類儲(chǔ)存到缺肉的時(shí)令也同樣不容易。人們找到了防止肉類變腐的三種辦法：鹽腌、風(fēng)干和冷凍。

　　靠近咸水地帶的居民用鹽腌肉。起先，他們可能是把干鹽擦在肉上，但這只能使肉的外部不腐。后來，他們也許就改用咸水浸泡的辦法來腌肉了。

　　在炎熱、干燥的.地方，人們發(fā)現(xiàn)他們可以食用已經(jīng)變干、但仍連在骨骼上的肉。后來，他們學(xué)會(huì)把肉切成薄條，懸掛起來，讓它在炎熱的空氣中變干。

　　生活在寒冷氣候下的人們則發(fā)現(xiàn)凍肉不腐。他們可以把肉置于室外，高興時(shí)隨時(shí)可吃。

　　Hi, welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. I realized a few years ago why we all need to climb a mountain every now and then. When we climb mountains, face challenges, hurdle1 obstacles and learn from difficult situations we remind ourselves that we have the strength, power and energy to overcome life's challenges. At first even a little mountain may seem like a big insurmountable mountain. But when you step back and climb it you realize, "I can do this." You realize within you is a source of strength, power and energy that you didn't know you had. After all, the mountain, no matter how big it is, is no match for your focused energy and desire to climb it. Mountains are meant to be climbed. Wounds are meant to be healed and problems are meant to become learning experiences. They all serve a purpose. They make us stronger mentally, emotionally and spiritually. So, here we are, in front of us is that mountain, don’t hesitate, just go ahead and climb it, climb that mountain.

　　Nipponex Electrics

　　Tokyo，Japan

　　27 August，20xx

　　Amperlite Ltd

　　146 0’Leafy St

　　Dublin，Ireland

　　Improved ways of production make US able to offer you our change of Drilite batteries(電池)at a reduced price for large quantities.

　　Further information of the New prices for your market are sent to you together with the letter，and you will see that the price has already reduced 5 percent.As c.i.f(成本、保險(xiǎn)加運(yùn)費(fèi)) to Dublin is included in our prices，you will agree that they are clearly lower than those of producers of the same batteries，both here in Japan and elsewhere.The quality of our products remains the same--only the finest chemicals are used.The new prices are for the least orders of l.000 pounds and will begin from January 1.Immediate sending off is sure because enough Can be made whenever you require it.

　　We appreciate your past dealing and cooperation(合作)with us，and look forward to supplying you in the new year at the new prices.

　　Yours truly，

　　Nipponex Electrics

　　1.If the Irish expect to enjoy the 5%of reduction at prices，they should__________.

　　A.pay the Japanese at least￡1，000

　　B.order 1，000 pounds of batteries in weight

　　C.order￡1，000 worth batteries at least

　　D.Pay the Japanese￡1，000 ahead

　　參考答案：C

　　答案及解析

　　C【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從文中第二段倒數(shù)第二句，The new prices are for the least orders of l，000 pounds and will begin from January

　　由此可知，新的價(jià)格是基于訂購至少1000英鎊之上的，所以選項(xiàng)D符合原文的.意思，是正確答案。

　　2.Which is NOT the reason of reduction of the price at 5 percent?

　　A.The Japanese.producer holds a large quantity of stores and can’t sell them out.

　　B.The Japanese have improved their production means.

　　C.They can turn out more products.

　　D.They expect to go on dealing with the Irish in the coming year.

　　參考答案：A

　　參考解析：A【解析】判斷推理題。文中給出了幾個(gè)原因：Improved ways of pr0·duction;turn out more products;and look forward to supplying you inthe new year at the new prices，等。文章說的是，公司有能力立即大批量的生產(chǎn)，而不是說由于庫存過多，賣不出去才迫于降價(jià)的。所以選項(xiàng)A(庫存太多，賣不出去)是不符合原文的意思的，故正確答案為A。

　　3.From the letter，we can know__________.

　　A.the two sides cooperated before

　　B.the Irish should pay for the transportation fee in terms of the new price

　　C.they use the best chemicals to improve the quality

　　Michelle felt the earthquake. It lasted for only five seconds. The whole house shook. She heard noise. The TV went off. The lights went off. She was scared. She had never felt an earthquake. It was very strong. It was as if a giant hand had shaken her house.

　　The lights came back on. Michelle turned the TV on. The TV had no news about the earthquake. She turned on the radio. The radio said it was a 4.7 earthquake. But there was no damage. No one was hurt. Everyone was okay. No houses had damage. Everything was okay. But Michelle was still scared. She wanted to move far away. She did not like earthquakes. They were so scary.

　　James Cameron: Failure is an Option, but Fear is not

　　詹姆斯·卡梅隆：失敗是人生的選項(xiàng)之一，但畏懼不是

　　And you know, along the way in this journey of discovery, I learned a lot. I learned a lot about science. But I also learned a lot about leadership. Now you think director has got to be a leader, leader of, captain of the ship, and all that sort of thing.

　　在發(fā)現(xiàn)的旅途中，我學(xué)到了很多。我學(xué)到的不僅僅是科學(xué)知識(shí)，還有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力。很多人以為作為導(dǎo)演，就一定具有很高的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力，就像船長帶領(lǐng)整艘船一樣。

　　I didn't really learn about leadership until I did these expeditions. Because I had to, at a certain point, say, "What am I doing out here? Why am I doing this? What do I get out of it?" We don't make money at these damn shows. We barely break even. There is no fame in it. People sort of think I went away between "Titanic" and "Avatar" and was buffing my nails someplace, sitting at the beach. Made all these films, made all these documentary films for a very limited audience.

　　但我卻是從這些探險(xiǎn)中學(xué)到如何帶領(lǐng)團(tuán)隊(duì)。在探險(xiǎn)時(shí)，有時(shí)候我會(huì)問自己，“我為什么會(huì)在這里?為什么要做這些紀(jì)錄片?我從中得到了什么?”我們并沒有從這些紀(jì)錄片中賺錢，還差點(diǎn)虧了本。我也沒有賺到名聲。很多人以為我在《秦坦尼克號》之后《阿凡達(dá)》之前就一直躺在沙灘邊享受。這些紀(jì)錄片只有很少的觀眾。

　　No fame, no glory, no money. What are you doing? You're doing it for the task itself, for the challenge---and the ocean is the most challenging environment there is, for the thrill of discovery, and for that strange bond that happens when a small group of people form a tightly knit team. Because we would do these things with 10-12 people working for years at a time. Sometimes at sea for 2-3 months at a time.

　　沒有名聲，沒有榮耀，沒有利潤。那我在做什么呢?我做這些其實(shí)只是為了這件任務(wù)本身。為了挑戰(zhàn)——海洋是現(xiàn)存最危險(xiǎn)的環(huán)境;為了發(fā)現(xiàn);也為了一種奇怪的關(guān)系，這發(fā)生在一個(gè)很少人組成的'緊密團(tuán)隊(duì)中。我們這10到12個(gè)人在一起工作了很多年。有時(shí)要在海里一起工作2到3個(gè)月。

　　And in that bond, you realize that the most important thing is the respect that you have for them and that they have for you, that you've done a task that you can't explain to someone else. When you come back to the shore and you say, "We had to do this, and the fiber optic, and the attenuation, and this and that all the technology of it, and the difficulty, the human performance aspects of working at sea, you can't explain it to people. It's that thing that maybe cops have, or people in combat that have gone through something together and they know they can never explain it. Creates a bond, creates a bond of respect."

　　在這種關(guān)系中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)最重要的東西就是尊重。你尊重他們，他們也尊重你，每個(gè)人做的工作都無法向其他人解釋。當(dāng)你從岸邊回來的時(shí)候，你說：“我們不得不這樣做，光纖眼、鈍化、這個(gè)、那個(gè)，所有的技術(shù)、困難和在海邊表演的各方面，你沒法跟大家說清楚。這很像警察經(jīng)歷的那種事情或是格斗中人們經(jīng)歷的，他們知道他們解釋不清。創(chuàng)造一種關(guān)系，建立起一種尊重關(guān)系�！�

　　It is said to be the first time unaccounted-for smallpox has been discovered in the US.

　　The disease was officially declared eradicated in the 1980s.

　　The vials appear to date from the 1950s. Upon discovery, the vials were immediately secured in a CDC-registered select agent containment laboratory in Bethesda, [Maryland], according to a CDC statement.

　　There is no evidence that any of the vials labelled variola has been breached, and onsite biosafety personnel have not identified any infectious exposure risk to lab workers or the public, the statement added.

　　Government agencies were notified of the discovery on 1 July, after National Institutes of Health employees discovered the vials labelled variola , also known as smallpox.

　　The vials were located in an unused area of a storage room in a Food and Drug Administration laboratory on an NIH campus in Bethesda.
