Passage 1


The Art of the Elephants

If
your
cat
walked
across
something
you
were
painting
and
left
footprints
behind,
would
you
consider
your
cat
an
artist?
What
if
your
bird held a colored pencil in its beak

喙)

and painted on a piece of paper?
Most
people
may
think
of
animal
art
as
a
joke,
but
some
people
have
been taking it very seriously.
Elephants
were
used
for
hundreds
of
years
in
Thailand’s
logging
industry(
伐木业
).
They
moved
wood
from
forests
in
areas
where
there
were
no
roads.
At
the
beginning
of
this
century,
when
the
forests
of
Thailand
began
to
quickly
disappear,
the
government
put
a
stop
to
logging. All of a sudden, many elephants in Thailand no longer had a way
to make a living.
Some elephants were treated badly. Others had to try to live on their
own
and
couldn’t
find
enough
food
to
eat.
There
were
once
tens
of
thousands
of
elephants
in
Thailand.
Today,
there
are
less
than
five
thousand.
When
two
Russian
American
artists,
Vitaly
Komar
and
Alex
Melamid, first heard about the troubled elephants in Thailand, they knew
that something had to be done to forever change the way people treated
Thai elephants. Then, they came up with an idea to help these elephants.
Komar and Melamid visited elephant camps in Thailand and began
to show the elephant trainers how to teach the elephants to paint. At first,
the
trainers
had
to
guide
the
elephants’
trunks.
The
elephants
became
more
comfortable
doing
this
with
practice

and
lots
of
sweet
snacks

and finally
started to paint on their own. The strange idea that
Komar
and
Melamid
had
to
save
the
elephants
actually
began
to
work.
They even helped found several elephant art schools in Thailand and in
other Asian countries. The elephants and their trainers go there to learn
about painting and get supplies they need.
Today, people begin to buy elephant artworks from galleries(
画廊
)
all around the world. Some are even willing to pay
more than

2,000
for the works of the elephant artists! Some people compare the cheerful,
brightly-colored
artworks
to
the
works
of
some
great
abstract(
抽象地
)
painters. Some people are just happy to buy these special and original(

创地
)
artworks.
Others
think
they
are
helping
the
troubled
elephants
in
this way. The next time you see a piece of colorful abstract art, find out
who the artist is. You just may be surprised at what you learn!

Passage 2
Albino Power
I was born an albino
(白化病患者)

in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in
1945. No one in my family had ever known what an albino was, what it
meant to be an albino, what had to be done differently because I was an
albino.
My parents and friends treated me just like they treated everybody
else. They was just about the best thing they could have done. It gave me
a
leg up on
trusting myself,
so
when troubles
came
along,
I
could
deal
with them.
Truly, my schoolbook photo always looked like a snowball with two
pieces of coal for eyes. Like most albinos, I had terrible eyesight, but the
fact that I could hardly see didn’t worry me all that much.

Kids laughed at me, calling me “Whitey”. People stared at me when
I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well
enough
to
read.
Even
when
I
was
eight
or
nine,
movie
theater
workers
started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older”.


The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad that I
couldn’t
play
sports
very
well.
but
I
didn’t
give
up
trying.
I
practiced
playing basketball every day. And I studied harder.
Finally,
I
got
better
at
school
and
loved
it.
By
the
time
I
got
to
college,
I
was
double
majoring
(专业)
,
going
to
summer
school
and
taking part in every kind of after-class activity I could find. I had learned
to be proud of being an albino. I tried my best to make “albino” positive
work. And I decided to make my living with my eyes

and in sports.
I
couldn’t
see
well
enough
to
play
sports,
but
with
a
good
and
long-lasting
education
and
the
drive
to
do
it,
I
could
make
a
living
involved in the area I loved. I’ve done it now for more than thirty years in
print and in video, and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how
I’m the only “blind editor
(编辑)
” they know, but the jokes are friendly
smiles
now,
and
some
of
them
are
signs
of
respect.
And
I
make
jokes
about being an albino. I have even developed an all-white routine, if you
could call it that.
I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania.
I now realize that being born an albino helped me to get over difficulties,
become confident, and be proud of my personal achievements.

Passage 3

Can you imagine a world without a writing system for your language?
It may be hard to picture it now, but a man named Sequoyah lived in such
a
world.
Sequoyah
was
a
member
of
a
native
American
tribe,
the
Cherokee. Cherokee people speak their own language, but for hundreds
of years they did not have a system of writing. Without a writing system,
the Cherokee had no newspapers or books before 1809.
Sequoyah
was
probably
born
around
the
year
1770
and
lived
with
his
mother
in
a
small
village
in
the
mountains
of
Tennessee.
When
he
grew
up,
he
became
a
blacksmith.
When
he
was
doing
business
with
those
“English
-
speaking
people”,
he
noticed
that
they
used
paper
with
marks to record their thoughts and ideas. Sequoyah called these pieces of
paper with marks “talking leaves”. He began to wonder why people who
spoke Cherokee did not have a way to write down their words.
In 1809, Sequoyah decided to give the Che
rokee their own “talking
leaves”. At first he tried to make a different symbol for every word in the
Cherokee
language.
But
in
that
case,
there
would
be
so
many
symbols
and too hard for people to remember, so he decided to make a picture for
each
syllable
(
音节
).
After
much
hard
work,
Sequoyah
invented
85
symbols.
In
order
to
see
whether
it
would
work,
he
helped
his
six-year- old daughter Ayoka learn each symbol and found she could learn
to read and write very quickly. Sequoyah’s invention was a success!

Befor
e
long,
Sequoyah’s
writing
system
had
spread
far
and
wide.
Cherokee people living in all different parts of the country learned to read
and
write.
In
1825,
Sequoyah’s
system
was
made
the
official
written
language
for
Cherokee
people.
To
this
day,
Cherokee
speakers
still
use
Sequoyah’s writing system. In some parts of the United States, you can
see
street
signs
and
billboards
written
in
both
English
and
Cherokee.
Sequoyah
will
always
be
remembered
for
his
important
contribution
to
Cherokee people.

Passage 4
Garbage
(垃圾)

Island
You
can’t
see

it
from
the
air.
It’s
almost
impossible
to
see
from
a
ship. But somewhere in the North Pacific is a huge island of garbage, just
below the water surface.
What is the island made of?
The garbage island is not an island, but a collection of millions of
plastic and other objects
(物体)
. The water movements of the Pacific
Ocean
bring
the objects together
and
cause
them
to
go
around
in
a
big
circle.
Charles
Moore
found
it
in
1997
and
named
it
“the
Great
Pacific
Garbage Patch”.

Where does all the plastic come from?
Much of the garbage comes from everyday objects, such as shopping
bags
and
water
bottles.
Some
of
these
objects
finally
reach
the
ocean.
Garbage from the western coast of North America takes about six years to
reach it. Objects from East Asia take about a year. Other garbage comes
from ships passing through the area.
Is the Garbage Patch dangerous?
The larger pieces of garbage are a problem for wildlife. For example,
sea turtles
(海龟)

and seabirds often think the plastic is their food. They
eat the plastic and die.
In
addition,
the
plastic
stops
sunlight
from
reaching
deeper
water.
Without sunlight, very small sea animals die. Then, there is less food for
larger fish to eat.
What can we do to help stop it?
Cleaning up the island isn’t easy. But we can make pe
ople realize the
problem. One environmentalist

环保主义者)


David de Rothschild, is
sailing around the world on a boat made of plastic bottles to teach people
about the problem of garbage in the sea.
Another
idea
is
that
we
can
recycle
the
plastic
garbage.
Environmental
engineer
Cesar
Harada
is
building
a
robot
that
collects
pieces of plastic. Harada hopes to use his robot in the Pacific. Harada also
has
a
website
for
reporting
environmental
problems.
He
says,
“I
hope
everybody can become an environmental activi
st.”

Passage 5
People can’t see you when you’re sp
eaking on the phone, but they
can
hear
you.
So,
the
way
you
speak
is
especially
important.
In
fact,
researchers
have
found
that
80%
of
communication
over
the
phone
is
through your tone
(语气)
of voice; and only 20% is from the words you
use. Here are our top tips on how to speak over the phone.
1. Facial Expressions
Your
facial
expressions
can
influence
your
voice.
For
example,
if
you

smile, your voice will sound warm and friendly, just the opposite, if
you have an angry look on your face, it can make you sound unpleasant.
2. V
olume
(音量)

If you speak too loudly, you could sound angry. And if you speak too
softly, it’ll be difficult to hear you. So, speak loudly enough to be heard
clearly, but not so loud that you’re shouting.

3. Pace
The pace of your voice is how quickly you speak. And this can show
how
you
feel.
For
example,
an
angry
person
might
speak
faster
than
normal. Or a downhearted person might speak very slowly. Try speaking
a little more slowly than normal. This will make you sound confident, and
it’ll
make it easier for the other person to understand you.
4. Gestures
(手势)

Gesturing can influence the tone of your voice. When you gesture,
you
bring
more
air
into
the
lungs,
which
can
make
your
voice
sound
warmer.
Gestures
are
also
useful
to
help
you
stress
the
right
words
or
even
find
the
words
you
need.
The
best
thing
about
gesturing
during
a
phone call is that no one can see what you’re doing, so you can gesture as
wildly as you like!
5. Movement
If you’re feeling nervous, stand up and move around. It will
reduce
the
nervousness
in
your
body
and
help
your
voice
to
sound
more
confident.
6. Pauses
(停顿)

Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down. This
will make you sound more confident and in control. Also, if you pause
after
giving
some
new
info
rmation,
it’ll
give
the
other
person
time
to
understand
it.
At
the
same
time,
listen
to
how
the
other
person
uses
pauses.
They
could
tell
you
something
about
the
speaker’s
feeling.
For
example, when a speaker is really angry, he might use pauses and say, “
I...
am... so... angry...”

Can your facial expressions influence your voice?

What is the pace of voice?

What is the best thing about gestures during phone call?

Passage 7

Today in our P. E. class, we all had to play basketball. There are only
7 girls in our P.E. class, so the class is mostly boys. And because we

re
girls, they don't really like us. We hate basketball, and they hate us. So we
asked them if we could sit on the chairs and not play. They agreed and so
we talked and laughed happily on the chairs.

Well,
today,
Just
while
all
the
girls
were
talking
happily,
the
P.
E.
teacher came in. Angrily, he looked at all the boys running around with
the
basketball.
Seeing
that
not
a
girl
was
playing,
he
looked
at
us.
Shaking his head, he blew his whistle(
哨子
). Everyone looked up. We
were all surprised.

Why aren't you playing?

he asked us.


Well

they
said
that
we
didn

t
have
to
play

Mr.
Backus
!”
We
quickly blamed(
归咎于
) the boys, afraid to get into trouble.


What? They didn't want to play!

the boys didn't want to get into
trouble, either. Mr. Backus told us to get up and made all of us run around
the playground
for 5
minutes.
Later,
he made
us sit
down
and
listen
to
him. The boys complained, but he made them listen anyway.

Am I ever unfair to you?

he asked. We all shook our heads. It was
true. Mr. Backus was the nicest P. E. teacher ever! He never shouted and
complained. He was just nice.

Well, then I hope you are fair to me. I don
t care whose fault(
错误
) it was. One person

s fault, the whole class

s fault.
Understand?


We nodded and waited. It was the only thing he ever asked us to do:
to be fair. It was not much; it was not anything. So we listened on.

This time
I
catch
you
not
doing
anything,
you
run
for
5
minutes.
Next
time.
you
run
fo
r
10
minutes.
It’s
your
choice.
You
could
play
games
or
run.
I
don’t
really
care,
but
I
think
you
care.
Remember,
one
person's fault: the whole class's fault. Got it?


As we nodded again, he left. We could see him smile as he closed
the door. Mr. Backus was just too nice. That was why we all liked him
and he certainly loved us.

Passage 8
Dealing with sleep-away Camp
I have never been away from home, at least not for more than three
days,
much
less
two
whole
weeks.
When
I
got
the
chance
to
go
to
Journalism Camp, I was afraid. Of the 19 other students there, I Knew no
one.

What if I had to go home during camp time because I wouldn't be
able to get used to the new situation? What if my roommate and I don't
get along? How do I even use a washing machine?
Well,
after
the
first
night,
nearly
all
of
my
problems
were
solved.
The
students
were
amazing,
and
my
roommate
was
perfect.
She
knew
how to do crazy braids(
辫子
) with my long hair and she loved to listen to
me talk loudly! I couldn't have asked for more.
The two weeks nearly flew by, and I learned to take responsibility
for myself: washing clothes, cleaning and other things like that.
However, in the process I didn’t realize how tied I had become to the
usual order of waking up early, running to get to the newsroom in time,
and
coming
back
to
a
large
room
full
of
friends
who
shared
similar
feelings as I did.

On
the
last
day,
I
couldn’t
get
myself
to
turn
in
my
room
keys.
It
couldn't be over. I become emotionally tied really easily, so it was hard
for me to pull away. I couldn't push away my tears. Leaving camp Just
left me empty.
I
wasn't
having
the
“blues”,
but
I
felt
really
sad
about
leaving.
Returning home,
I
was
in
the
state of
disappointment
for
a
few
days.
I
kept to myself, sleeping through most of the day
so I wouldn’t have time
to look back.

I needed to get used to life at home again. This was my challenge. I
was lucky to have the two-week experience, but I had to learn to accept
that not all things last forever.
I could still keep in touch with my new friends while continuing on
with the rest of my summer. I know I will go through the same experience
when
I
leave
high
school
after
senior
year.
High
school
life
will
never
return after graduation, but I can still keep in touch with my friends and
look forward to other experiences I will have.

Passage 9


DIY
. which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of
stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programs show people how
to DIY
.
English
people
like
DIY
.
There
is
a
saying
in
UK
—“An
Englishman’s home is his castle(
城堡
)”. Huge numbers of people spend
their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If
there is anything
that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting
in
a
new
shower,
they
will
do
the
jobs
themselves.
They
share
DIY
experience with their friends. More and more people have discovered the
joy
of
DIY
.
Sometimes
people
also
DIY
for
saving
money.
With
the
economy (
经济
) becoming worse at present, many people cannot afford a
big
house.
They
are
looking
at
how
they
can
make
their
house
better
without
spending
a
lot
of
money.
It
is
not
surprising
that
DIY
is
so
popular.

DIY
can
be
difficult.
There
is
a
huge
market
for
DIY
furniture.
People
need
to
get
together
pieces
of
furniture
with
a
few
basic
tools.
However,
people
often
find
it
not
easy
to
build
a
piece
of
furniture
because they can't understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions
are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing
is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best ideas, many
of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example,
anything
electrical should be done by
a
professional
worker.
Unluckily,
many people don't care about this warning and put themselves in danger.
It is reported that in just one year over 230, 000 people were hurt while
doing DIY in UK, including 41, 000 who fell off ladders.

Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is no
t always as easy as it
is thought to be if we bite off more than we can che
w. Maybe factories should make products
that are easier and safer for u
s to DIY
. All in all, it is a very good and suitable thing for many
people.
