了一家家用器材商店。像南希这样的人作出这 种决定主要是出于改善生活质量的愿望。

然而，经营小本生意绝非易事。在失去稳定的收入后 ，南希不得不削减日常开支。有时
候她甚至没有钱支付她所需要的种种保险的费用。有一次她连电话费也 付不起，只得向她
的父母亲借钱。

幸运的是，通过自己的努力，她已经度过了最困难 的时期。她决心继续追求她所向往的更
加美好的生活。

A
decade
ago,
Nancy
did
what
so
many
Americans
dream
about.
She
quit
an
executive
position and open/set up a
household
equipment store in her neighborhood. People like Nancy
made the decision
primarily
because of their desire to improve the quality of their lives.
But, to run a small business is by on means an easy job. Without her steady income, Nancy had
to
cut back
on her daily expenses. Sometimes she did not have the money to pay the
premiums

for various kinds of
insurance
she needed. Once she could not even
pick up
the phone bill and
had to ask her parents to loan her some money.
Fortunately, through her own hard work, she had now
got through
the most difficult time. She
is determined to continue
pursing
her vision of a better life.

奴隶的组织中的一员。他几次偷偷地从加拿大回到美国帮助其他奴隶通过地下铁路获得自
由。有一次在逃跑时亨森和几个逃跑的奴隶被捕捉奴隶的人包围。他将逃跑的奴隶乔装打
扮一番，成功地 躲避了追捕。另外，他后来在加拿大的得累斯顿为逃跑的奴隶建造了一个
居住小区，并建了教堂和学校， 逃跑的奴隶们在这里能够学到有用的谋生之道。他坚信奴
隶制将被废除，所有奴隶终将获得解放，种族歧 视消失的那一天一定会到来。

Henson's
painful

life
as
a

strengthened
his
determination
to
struggle
for
freedom.
Shortly after he achieved freedom he became a member of an organization that assisted fugitive
slaves.
He
secretly
returned
to
the
United
States
from
Canada
several
times
to
help
others
to
travel
the
Underground

Railroad
to
freedom.
Once
some
slave
catchers

closed
in
on

the
escaping
slaves
and
Henson
when
they
were
on
the
run.
He
disguised

them
and
successfully
avoided
capture
. In addition, later he built a small settlement in Dresden in Canada for escaped
slaves, setting up a chapel and a school where they could learn useful ways of making a living.
He held to the
conviction
that slavery would be

abolished
, all the slaves would be
liberated

UNIT 3
在美国每隔
15
秒钟就有人举报一起入室行窃案
（
BURGLARY
）
。
统计数据 显示去年窃贼
（
BURGLAR)
光顾了两百多万户人家。人们实际上几乎无法将蓄意 行窃的盗贼拒之门外，
所能做的只是设法阻拦他片刻，从而使其暴露在巡警（
POLICE P ATROL
）或附近溜达的
人们面前。常识告诉我们光照是犯罪行为的障碍物。家门口必须安装 一盏灯，并在晚间开
着。不管你是否相信，有些人，尤其是最晚进家的孩子，晚上进屋后不把门锁上。空 心门
（
DOOR OF HOLLOW CORE
）
，
即便锁上了，
也易遭贼侵入。
因此最好选择实心
（
SOLID
CORE
）门或铁门，因为窃贼很难将它们撬开。如果你有意购买报警装置，别忘了索要报
警器的标志，并把它们 张贴在窗户和门上。最后，提醒一句，外出旅游时，一定要请一位
信得过的邻居，
在你回来前帮 你收好每日的报纸和邮件。
这是因为放在门阶
（
DOORSTEP
）
上或邮箱里成堆的报纸邮件如同广告一样使大家都知道你家里没人。

A
burglary
is
reported
every
15
seconds
in
the
United
States.
Statistics

show
burglars
entered
more
than
2
million
homes
last
year.
Actually
it
is
impossible
to
keep
a
determined
burglar
out.
All
you
can
do
is
discourage
him
for
a
few
minutes,
thus
expose
him
to
police
patrols or those
wandering
around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a
barrier
to criminal
activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some
people, particularly children who happen to be the last to come in, leave their doors
on the latch

at night. Doors of hollow core,
even when locked, are
vulnerable
to break-ins. Thus doors of
solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to
pry
open. If you
decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and
put
them
up
on both windows and
doors. Finally, a word of warning---when you travel, make sure that you have a trusted neighbor
collect
and
keep
all
the
deliveries
of
newspapers
and
mail
until
you
return.
This
is
because
a
collection of newspapers and mail on the front doorstep or in your mailbox is an
advertisement
that no one is home.

UNIT 4
外星人是一个让专家和外行都很感兴趣 的话题，各式各样的国家和组织的研究者们正在
采用不同的模式寻找他们。有的密切观察稀有放射性（< br>RADIOACTIVE
）元素水平特别高
的星球，他们认为那些元素产生于人类尚未理 解的外星人技术。有的试图从宇宙“噪音”中
分离出无线电信号。而有的则宣称已经看到了外星人，并能 详细描绘他们的模样。研究者
