9、an was his native language. When he was still a young man, he was forced to leave his homeland for political reasons. He stayed in Belgium for a few years; then he went to France. Before long he had to move on again. In 1849, he went to England and made London the base for his revolutionary work.Mar
10、x had learned some French and English at school. When he got to England, he found that his English was too limited. He started working hard to improve it. He made such rapid progress that before long he began to write articles in English for an American newspaper. In fact, his English in one of thes
11、e articles was so good that Engels wrote him a letter and praised him for it. Marx wrote back to say that Engels praise had greatly encouraged him. However, he went on to explain that he was not too sure about two things-the grammar and some of the idioms.These letters were written in 1853. In the y
12、ears that followed, Marx kept on studying English and using it. When he wrote one of his great works, The Civil War in France, he had mastered the language so well that he was bale to write the book in English.In the 1870s, when Marx was already in his fifties, he found it important to study the sit
13、uation in Russia, so he began to learn Russian. At the end of six months he had learned enough to read articles and reports in Russian. In one of his books, Marx gave some advice on how to learn a foreign language. He said when a person is learning a foreign language; he must not always be translati
14、ng everything into his own language. If he does this, it shows he has not mastered it. He must be able to use the foreign language, forgetting all about his own. If he can not do this, he has not really grasped the spirit of the foreign language and can not use it freely.2、AT HOME IN THE FUTUREA med
15、ical examination without a doctor or nurse in the room? Doing shopping at home?Borrowing books from the library without leaving your home?These ideas may seem strange to you. But scientists are working hard to turn them into realities.Let us suppose we can visit a home at the end of this century. We
16、 will visit a boy named Charlie Green. He is not feeling well this morning. His mother, Mrs Green, wants the doctor to see him. That is, she wants the doctor to listen to him. She brings a set of wires to Charlies room. These wires are called sensors. She places one sensor in his mouth and one on hi
17、s chest. She puts another one around his wrist and one on his forehead. Then she plugs the sensors into a wall outlet. She says the code TCP. This means telephone call placed. A little light flashes on the wall. The Greens wireless telephone is ready for a call.Mrs Green says 2478, the doctors telep
18、hone number. From a speaker on the wall comes the doctors voice: Good morning.Good morning, Dr Scott, answers Mrs Green. Charlie isnt feeling too well this morning.Ive put the sensors on him. I wonder if you can examine him now.Sure, the doctors voice says. Well, he doesnt have a fever. And his puls
19、e is fine. Now, breathe deeply, Charlie.Charlie does so.Just a little cold, says the doctor. Better stay inside today, Charlie. And take it easy. Thank you, Doctor, says Mrs Green. TCC (telephone call completed). The light on thewall turns off. The phone call and the examination are finished.Charlie
20、, says Mrs Green, since you have to stay at home, why dont you do some shopping? You can pick out your new bicycle. After all, your birthday is only two weeks away.Great, Charlie answers.Charlie and his mother sit in front of one of the vision phones. There are several in their house.TCP, says Charl
21、ie. The word ready appears on the screen of the vision phone. New Forest Bicycle Shop, a voice says. May I help you?Charlie answers, Id like to see your ten-speed bicycles.In the next few minutes, pictures of many models of the bicycles are flashed on the screen.The price of each model is also shown
22、.Then the voice asks, Are you interested in any of these models? Yes, Im interested in model 6.Do you wish to place an order at this time?Not just yet, answers Mrs Green. My sons birthday is in two weeks time. Thank you.TCC.The vision phone shuts off.Such would be our home in the future.2-1、A VISIT
23、TO THE LIBRARY IN THE FUTUREThe shopping is finished. Charlies parents tell him they have togo out for a little while. Why dont you visit the library while were out? says Charlies dad. I know they have some new books on basket-ball, your favourite game.Charlie goes to one of the visionphones. He pla
24、ces a call to the library. He asks to see one of the new books on basket-ball.Basket-ball Giant, the name of the book, is flashed on the screen. Turn, says Charlie. The first page of the book is shown on the screen. Then the second, and the third. Charlie has read about fifty pages of it. Then he he
25、ars his mothers voice coming through a speaker on the wall. Charlie turns off the visionphone. He says hello to his mother.Where are you? he adds.Were driving on the freeway, Mrs Green says. This is taking a little more time than we thought. We wont be back until two oclock. Better get some lunch fo
26、r yourself.What are you doing? Charlie asks. Well explain later, she says. O.K. says Charlie.3、The Blind Men and the ElephantOnce upon a time there were six blind men who lived in a village in India. Every day they went to the road nearby and stood there begging. They had often heard of elephants, b
27、ut they had never seen one, for, being blind, how could they?One morning an elephant was led down the road where they stood. When they heard that an elephant was passing by, they asked the driver to stop the beast so that they could have a look.Of course they could not look at him with their eyes, b
28、ut they thought they might learn what kind of animal he was by touching and feeling him. For, you see, they trusted their own sense of touch very much.The first blind man happened to place his hand on the elephants side. Well, well, he said. This beast is exactly like a wall.The second grasped one o
29、f the elephants tusks and felt it. Youre quite mistaken, he said. Hes round and smooth and sharp. Hes more like a spear than anything else.The third happened to take hold of the elephants trunk. Youre both completely wrong, he said. This elephant is like a snake, as anybody can see.The fourth opened
30、 both his arms and closed them round one of the elephants legs. Oh, how blind you are! he cried. Its very clear that hes round and tall like a tree.The fifth was a very tall man, and he caught hold of one of the elephants ears. Even the blindest person must see that this elephant isnt like any of th
31、e things you name, he said. Hes exactly like a huge fan.The sixth man went forward to feel the elephant. He was old and slow and it took him quite some time to find the elephant at all. At last he got hold of the beasts tail. Oh, how silly you all are! cried he. The elephant isnt like a wall, or a s
32、pear, or a snake, or a tree; neither is he like a fan. Any man with eyes in his head can see thathes exactly like a rope.Then the driver and the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, quarrelling about the elephant. They could not agree with one another, because each believe
33、d that he knew just what the beast looked like.It is not only blind men who make such stupid mistakes. People who can see sometimes act just as foolishly.4、GALILEO AND ARISTOTLEAbout 2300 years ago, there lived in Greece a great thinker named Aristotle. He observed that feathers fell to the ground s
34、lowly, while stones fell much faster. He thought it over carefully and concluded that heavy objects always fell faster than light ones. His conclusion certainly sounded reasonable. But we now know that it is not true.In those days people seldom did experiments to test their ideas. When they observed
35、 anything that happened, they thought about it and then drew a conclusion. Once Aristotle made up his mind that heavy objects always fell faster than light objects, he taught it as a truth to his students. And because he was Aristotle, the great thinker, no one questioned his idea for almost2000 yea
36、rs.Then, almost 400 years ago, an Italian scientist named Galileo began to question Aristotles theory of falling objects. He was not ready to believe something just because Aristotle said so. He decided to do some experiments to test Aristotles theory.Galileo lived in the city of Pisa, where there i
37、s a leaning tower about 180 feet high. From the top of the tower Galileo dropped a light ball and a heavy ball at exactly the same time. They both fell at about the same speed and hit the ground together. He tried the experiments again and again. Every time he got the same result. At last, he decide
38、d that he had found the truth about falling objects. As we know now, heavy objects and light objects fall at the same speed unless air holds them back. A feather falls slower than a stone only because the air holds the feather back more than it does the stone.When Galileo told people of his discover
39、y, no one would believe him. But Galileo was not discouraged. He went on doing experiments to test the truth of other old ideas. He built a telescope through which he could study the skies. He collected facts that proved the earth and all the other planets move around the sun.Today we praise Galileo
40、 and call him one of the founders of modern science. He observed things carefully and never took anything for granted. Instead, he did experiments to test and prove an idea before he was ready to accept it.An experiment was done on the moon in July, 1971. One of the US astronauts who made the first
41、deep space walk on the moon dropped a hammer and a feather together. They both landed on the surface of the moon at the same time. This experiment proved that Galileos theory of falling objects is true.4-1、PENICILLINIf you leave a piece of bread in a warm damp place, mould will soon grow on it. When
42、 this happens, we say the bread has gone mouldy. Mould can grow on all kinds of things besides food. It grows from spores which are in the air. If theconditions are right, a spore can quickly get around and form a mould. This happens quite commenly. We have all probably seen it.In 1928, Sir Alexande
43、r Fleming found that mould had killed some germs he was trying to grow in his lab. If he had not noticed this, the world would have lost one of the greatest discoveries of the century. Fleming called the substance penicillin.Because penicillin can kill germs, doctors use it to treat diseases. It has
44、 saved millions oflives. Scientists grow large quantities of common mould so that they can get penicillin from it in order to make antibiotics, that is, substances that kill germs. Next time you see some mould on apiece of bread, remember that it is one of mans greatest friends!5、The Lost NecklacePl

Mathilde: Good afternoon, Jeanne.Jeanne :(Looking at the other woman) Im sorry, but I don，t think I know

47、e an old woman. But its because of hardworkten years of hardwork.Jeanne :But I don，t understand, Mathilde . There，s only one year between us ; Im thirty-five and youre thirty-four. Can hard work change a person that much?Mathilde : Yes, it can . Years of hard work, little food, only a cold room to live in and never, never a moment to rest. That has been my life for these past ten years.Jeanne :Mathilde! I did nt know. Im sorry. But what happened? Mathilde: Well, I would rather not tell you.Jeanne :Oh , come, Mathilde. Surely you can tell an old friend.Mathilde: Well, Well, it was
