dogs are often very clever. Every Sunday afternoon my friend takes Jack for

a long walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much.

One Sunday afternoon a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long

time. He talked and talked. Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,

but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head

of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really

make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the

belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most

great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule.

They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(

奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy

to work in that way.

Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, “How shall

I begin?” only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning

at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的

) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will

never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --

that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought

of the beginning.

2. The writer was surprised because ____.

B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail

D. you do not trust to your own powers

4. when you become more experienced you will ____.

C. should write the end of the story

D. should think of the beginning

The man had put on a pair of odd shoes, one with a thick sole and one with

a thin sole.

As he came out to the street, he felt very uncomfortable.

Turning to his daughter, he said: “Why should one of my legs be longer than

the other day?”

The daughter looked at her father's legs and said, “You have put on two odd

When he heard this, the man was very happy and thought to himself: “What a

bright daughter I've got!” Then he asked his daughter to go back to the house

and got him another pair of shoes.

When the daughter went back to the house, all she could find was one shoes

with thick sole and one with thin sole.

Taking the shoes to show her father, she said, “It's no use changing! These

shoes are also odd, one with a thick sole and one with a thin sole.”

Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. It is

true. People usually begin their talks with “Isn't it a nice day?” “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 hardly agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see how cloudy it

is in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow.” Another man will say, “No, it's

going to be fine tomorrow.”

People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he

looks for something to tell him it's going to rain; he won't believe anything

else. When friends have a travel, they are sure the weather is goint 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.

Smith was a landlord. He loved money very much and never gave anything to

anybody. Soon he became rich.

One day the weather was fine. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the sun

was very warm. The landlord was walking along a river with his friends, when,

all of a sudden, he slipped and fell into it. He cried, “Help! Help!” One of

his friends held out his hand and said, “Give me your hand and I will pull you

out.” The landlord's head went under the wather and then came up again, but

he did not give his hand to his friends. Then another of his friends tried but

the same thing happened.

Just then a farmer came over and saw all this. He knew the landlord very well.

He said to the others, “Let me try.” He held out his hand and said to the landlord,“

Take my hand and I will pull you out.” Hearing this, the landlord took the farmer's

hand, and in a minute the farmer pulled the landlord out of the water.

All the others got very surprised at this and asked the farmer, “Why did he

give his hand to you but not to us?” The farmer said,“You don't know your friend

ring. Here it is.”

He held it out for his wife to see. Then he dropped it. “Oh dear” he said.

“I have dropped it.”

He began to look for it on the floor but it was dark inside the house and

he could not see anything. He went outside the house and began to look for the

ring in the street. Just then a friend came along.

“What's the matter?” he asked.

“I have lost a ring.” said the man. “Where did you lose it?”

“I lost it inside my house.”

“You lost your ring inside your house but you are looking for it outside in

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his

own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child, and some

children - like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents - seem to

learn two languages almost as easily as one. In school it is not easy to learn

a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are

busy with other subjects, too.

A man's mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what

we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo

with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to

show to our friends. In the same way there is much work to be done before we

can keep a picture forever in our mind.

Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

Almost everyone in the world uses oil in some way. Cars, buses, planes and

many trains and ships also need oil. Even our bicycles need oil. Indeed the

whole world would stop if there was no oil.

Today there is a growing need for oil in the world. So people are looking

for it everywhere. They look for oil in deserts, in the mountains and under

the sea. Quite often they find nothing, but the search for oil always goes on.

What are the largest oil producers in the world? The U.S, the U.S.S.R., and

countries of the Middle East. But China is catching up fast. Before liberation

we used to buy nearly all our oil from the U.S. Many foreign people said China

was ”oil-poor“. But since liberation oil has been found in many parts of the

Mr Mike was a young man. He was not very rich. One day he went into a watch

shop to buy a nice-looking watch for his girl friend, Rose. He fixed his eyes

on a nice golden watch, and decided to buy it. The shop assistant took the watch

out, and asked for three hundred pounds for it. Just then, a boy of about fifteen

suddenly rushed over and grasped the watch from the assistant's hand. The assistant

hurried out to catch the boy. But it was too late, the boy had disappeared among

the street people very quickly.

On the way home, Mike met the boy, who would sell him the gold watch for only

one hundred pounds. ”The boy didn't know that I saw him stealing the watch from

the shop. And he asked for much less money than that in the shop.“ Mike thought

to himself. So he paid the boy and took the watch home.

The next day, Mike gave the golden watch to Rose, and told her all about the

watch.

June 5th Saturday

Father used to be a heavy smoker. He always smoked when he waswatching TV,reading newspapers and so on. Mother and I had advised him to quit smoking many times. Though he knew smoking was harmful to health,he still said that smoke could make his head sober when he was sleepy. This lasted for a long time until one thing happening today changed his mind.

Today,when we were having supper,a loud cry from our neigh-bour's house reached us. We didn't know what had happened,so father decided to go to the neighbour's room to have a look. After a while,he came back and told us in an upset voice, "Mr. Wang died several minu-tes ago, "“Why? "Mother asked. Father didn't answer but picked out all of his cigarettes and threw them away. Later on,we knew Mr. Wang died from over-smoking. This evening, Father promised to us, "I will never smoke again. "

6月5日 星期六 晴

父亲过去烟瘾很大。当他看电视、看报纸时,经常抽烟。我和妈妈多次建议他戒烟。虽然他知道吸烟对健康有害,但他仍然说,当他昏昏欲睡时,吸烟能使他头脑清醒。这种状况持续了很长时间,直到今天发生了二件事使他改变了思想。

今天,当我们吃晚饭时,一个刺耳的叫喊声从邻居家传来,我们不知道发生了什么事情。父亲决定去邻居家看一看。过了一会儿,他回到家心烦意乱地说:“王先生几分钟前死了。”“为什么?”妈妈问。父亲没回答,只是拿出他所有的香烟,扔掉了。一会儿,我们得知王先生死于过度吸烟。今天晚上,父亲答应我们:“我以后再不吸烟了。”

In our parents generation, there are less people have the eyesight problem, because the digital products were not so developed at that time, but nowadays, with the development of these products, more and more people have the problem of short eyesight. When I look around my classmates, I find only have few student dont wear glass. Peoples bad reading behavior makes their eyesight weaker, they can do the right things to correct it. First, we should not read in the dark situation. Many students like to read in the dark before they go to bed, it hurts the eye so much. Second, we should not stare at the book or the TV and computer in a long time, we need to take a rest every 40minutes, looking at the distance or the green color will ease our eyes. Eyes are window of our soul, we need to protect them.

在我们父母那一代,很少有人有视力问题,因为当时电子产品还没有那么发达,但是如今,随着电子产品的发展,越来越多的人有近视问题。当我看看周围同学的时候,我发现只有少数同学没有戴眼镜。人们阅读的坏习惯让他们的视力变弱,他们可以做一些正确的事情来矫正。第一,我们不应该在光线不足的情形下看书。很多学生喜欢睡觉前在黑暗的环境下看书,这非常伤害他们的眼睛。第二,我们不应该长时间盯着书本或者电视和电脑看,我们需要每隔40分钟就休息下,看看远方或者绿色,能缓解我们的眼睛。眼睛是我们的心灵之窗,我们要保护好它们。

What is the most important thing in the world? I think it is health.You can take away our money, house, car, or even our clothes and we can survive. But if our health was taken away, we would surely die. That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.

什么是世界上最重要的事情?我想,答案应该是健康。我们可以在没有钱、房子、车子,甚至衣服的情况下,活着。但是如果我们的健康被带走了,我们肯定就活不下去了。这就是为什么我们总是努力以一种健康的方式吃东西和规律地运动。

In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like french fries or cookies. I also eat little meat. I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit which are full of vitamins. Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.

为了能吃得健康,我常常避免吃高脂肪的食物,比如炸薯条或甜点。我也很少吃肉。我会吃很多的蔬菜和富含维他命的新鲜水果。每天做运动有助于我们拥有强健的身体。有规律的运动是我们保持身体健康的一个重要部分。

What's more, I think friends are an important part of ones health. Many studies show that people with a wide range of social contacts get sick less than those who dont. I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. I like to laugh with my friends.

还有,我认为,朋友也是让我们保持健康的重要部分。许多研究显示,有复杂人际关系的人比较不容易得病。当我与朋友一起时,我总是感觉比单独一个人好。当我与朋友一起时,我总是笑声不断。欢笑也是健康的重要组成部分。我喜欢和朋友一起大笑。

By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them. I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy.

通过合理的饮食和规律性的运动,我可以保持身体健康和体重适中。与朋友一起的时光,可以让我的思想和身体一样开心。这些事情听起来很容易去做,但没有很多人能成功做到。我想,我们如果想要健康,那强大的意愿是需要的。
