Renting a color television makes more
sense than buying. Here’s why:
1. The longer you rent
(
租
), the less you pay. Each
year the monthly rate is reduced. You
can reach a low rate of not much more
than $$12 a week.
2. Service is fast and
free. We can have your set installed
(
安装
) in two days. If
anything
goes wrong, we’ll have it
fixed the same day or lend you another set while
we’re mending
it. And don’t forget:
service and spare parts are free!
3. If you don’t have an aerial
(
天线
), we’ll install one for
you, and that will be free, too. All
you have to pay is the installation
charge (
安装费
)!
4.
You can choose from al
l kinds of
models, and what’s more, if after a certain period
of
time, and you would like a new
model, you can change. How’s that for
service?
5. No
deposit (
押金
) is
needed. You pay only
the
monthly rental fee. But if you
pay in
advance, you can save
money.
Pay twelve months’ fees when you
begin to hire, and we’ll
give you a
month’s hire without charge.
6. If you decide that you want to stop
renting and buy the set you have on hire, this can
be
arranged
—
with
a generous allowance (
折扣
)
for the fees already paid.
1. From the
passage we know _______________________.

rent, the less you pay

more than $$12

We
have
known
for
a
long
time
that
flowers
of
different
plants
open
and
close
at
different time of day.
This is so familiar that there seems to be no need
to ask the reason
for
it.
Yet
no
one
really
understands
why
flowers open
and
close
like
this
at
particular
times. The
process (
过程
) is not as
simple as we might think, as recent experiments
have
shown. In one study, flowers were
kept in constant (
连续的
)
darkness. We might expect
that
the
flowers,
without
any
information
about
the
time
of
day,
did
not
open
as
they
normally do. In fact, they continued to
open at their usual time. This suggests that they
have some mysterious
(
神秘的
) way of knowing the
time. Their sense of time does not
depend on information from the outside
world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of
“inner clock”.
This discovery
(
发现
) may not seem to be very
important. However, it was later found that
not just plants but also animals
—
including man
—have this “inner clock” which controls
the
working
of
their
bodies
and
influences
(
影响
)
their
activities.
Men,
then,
are
also
influenced by this
mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it
affects such things in
our life as our
need for sleep, our need for food.
In
the past, this did not matter very much because
people lived in natural condition. In the
modern
world,
things
are
different;
now
there
are
spacemen,
airplane
pilots
and,
in
ordinary life, a lot of people who have
to work at night. It would be very useful, then,
to
know
more
about
the
“inner
clock”.

A person, like a
commodity
（商品）
, needs
packaging. But going too far is absolutely
undesirable.
A
little
exaggeration,
however,
does
no
harm
when
it
shows
the
person’s
unique
qualities
to
their
advantages.
To
show
personal
attractiveness
in
a
casual
and
natural
way,
it
is
important
for
one
to
have
a
clear
knowledge
of
oneself.
A
skilled
packager knows how
to add art to nature without any signs of
embellishment
（装饰）
, so
that the person so packaged is not a
commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.
A young person, especially a female,
shining with beauty and full of life, has all
the
favor
granted
by
God.
Any
attempt
to
make
up
would
be
self-defeating.
Youth,
however, comes and goes in a flash.
Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide
the marks made by years. If you still
enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work
at
pioneering
work
you
are
unique
in
through
plains
mountains
and
jungles,
running
its
course as it should. You
have really lived your life, which now arrives at
a self-satisfied
stage of quietness and
calmness with no interest in fame or wealth .
There is no need to
make us of hair
dyeing. The snow-capped mountain is itself a
beautiful scene of fairyland.
Let your
looks change from young to old in step with the
natural ageing process so as to
keep in
harmony
（和谐）
with nature, for
harmony itself is beauty, while the other way
round will only end in unpleasantness.
To be in the elder’s company is like reading a
thick
book of deluxe
（
better
quality
）
edition that
attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part
with.

I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a

Leaning Tower of Pisa .But when I read
the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza .I thought
this tower was a place to buy pizza .It
must be the best place to buy pizza in the world,
I
thought.

there

got
its

because
it really does lean to one side. Some people want
to try to fix it .They are afraid it
may fall over and they don`t like it
leans over the city.
I do not think
it`s a good idea to try to fix it .The tower
probably will not fall down ,it is 600
years old. why should anything happen
to it now? And ,if you ask me ,I like what it
looks
like. To me it is a very human
kind of leaning .Nothing is perfect ,it seems to
say.

things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more
interesting .Let`s

On Nov.18th,1908,three men
went up in a
balloon
（气球）
.They started
early in London.
The headman was
Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar
and Maitland.
They had a big balloon
and they were ready for a long way.
Soon they heard the sea. They were
carrying the usual
rope
（绳子）
,and it was hanging
down from the basket of the balloon. At
the end of the rope they had tied a metal box.
This
could hold water, or it could be
empty. So they were able to change its
weight
（重量）
.It
was
for use over the sea. They were also carrying some
bags of sand.
After the sun
rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000
metres, and the air was
very cold. The
water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past
the men’s basket, and they
could see
more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw
out some more sand; but it
was hard.
They tried to break the icy sand with their
knives, but it was not easy. The work
was slow and they were still falling,
so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One
of
them fell on an icy lake and made a
black hole in the ice.
At
last they pulled the box into the basket. It was
still snowing; so they
climbed to get
away from the
snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became
icy. They were so
cold that
they decided to land. They came down in
Poland
heavily but safely.
They had
travelled 1,797 kilometers
from London!

A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone
Bultler, spent sixty-six days in a life-
raft
（

in
the seas of Central
America after their boat sank.
Twenty-one days after they
left Panama in their boat, Siboney, they met some
whales
（鲸鱼）
. “They started to
hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then
suddenly we heard
water.”
Two
minutes
later,
the
boat
was
sinking.
They
jumped
into
the
life-raft
and
watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days
they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of
water. They also had a
fishing-line and
a machine to make salt water into drinking water
–
two things which saved
their lives. They caught eight to ten
fish a day and ate them
raw

. Then the line
broke. “So we had no more fish until
something very strange happened. Some
sharks

came
to
feed,
and
the
fish
under
the
raft
were
afraid
and
came
to
the
surface.
I
caught
them with my hands.”
About
twenty
ships
passed
them,
but
no
one

them.
After
fifty
days
at

their
life-raft was beginning to break up.
Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw

very special China culture night the summer of

learn
more
studies.
I
was
accepted
at
the
university
of
Texas
and
have
been
a
student
there
for
almost
three
semesters.
To
graduate, I must study a
foreign language for four semesters. I would like
to learn Chinese
but they do
not teach
it there, so I
would have to
go
to
a
different university. I
have
a
Chinese friend, Jing,
in my biology class. She is very nice.

break from school.
I flew to the home
of Polly and Lois in Minnesota, about 2400
kilometres from me, to visit
and to
talk about how much we missed China and all our
friends there. Do you remember
them?
They
said
Andy
had
been
to
visit
them.
He
came
to
watch
a
basketball
game
between his state, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota. They told me if he can get enough
money,
he will go back to China this
summer. Polly has a newspaper route to help earn
money to
go to China each summer. She
walks from house to house to deliver the
newspapers so
she will be used to
walking when she gets to China. While I was there,
I helped her.
My husband
and I have four children, three girls and one boy.
Our boy is not married He is
26 years
old and works as a computer analyst Our youngest
daughter is staying home
from work
since she had her baby boy six months ago. He is
very chubby and happy.
Did
you get married yet? Do you have good students
this year?
I think maybe I did write to
both you and your student of 1998 named Wang Feng.
If I did,
please,
forgive
me
for
forgetting.
So
many
people
from
China
wrote
to
me,
I
can’t
remember who I answered. I would love
to hear from you.
Your friend,
Mary

takes time to travel.
Perhaps
you
have
noticed
the
time
that
passes
between
a
flash
of
lightning
and
the
thunder. You may have
heard the sound of a baseball bat hitting a ball
an instant after you
saw it happen.
Both light and sound take
time to travel. However, there is a great deal of
difference in
their speed. In one
second, sound can travel about 1, 000 feet through
air. During this
same time, light can
travel move than 186, 000 miles!
When
something
makes
a
sound
some
distance
away,
you
can
often
see
the
action
before you hear the sound. As sound
travels, vibrations are passed on from one
molecule
to another. The farther the
sound has to travel, the longer it takes.
( )1. Which of these is
wrong?
A. “Sound and wave”
mean“
水花和水波
”.
B. “Lightning and thunder”
mean“

”.

drop a stone into water
，
we can see ______.
A. nothing
B. the waves
start where the stone meets the water and then

the
best policy. Second, we have to be humble enough.
If we are proud in public, we can
hardly win other's respect, not to
mention
should learn how to show
concern for others.
All in all,as long
as we do according to what is mentioned above, we
will actually find
it easy to get along
well with ,a constant friendship will be
developed with the
people around.

Books
As is well
known, books teach us to learn life, truth,
science and many other useful things.
They increase our knowledge, broaden
our minds and strengthen our character. In other
words, they are our good teachers and
wise friends. This is the reason why our parents
always encourage us to read more books.
Reading is a good thing,
but we must pay GREat attention to the choice of
books. It is true
that we can derive
benefits from good books. However, bad books will
do us more harm
than good.

Be Patriotic
It is the duty
of every citizen to make the country rich and
powerful (To make the country
rich and
strong is...). In order to accomplish this object
one must be patriotic (love his
cou
ntry). I consider this an
unchangeable truth.
How can a student
love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer
very simple and clear.
He must study
hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his
(the) country in the future
. If every
student can do according to what I said, the
country will certainly be rich and
po
werful.

different countries eat at different
