题目内容

Ever since I was old enough to dream,I have imagined myself flying with the eagles.My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become.Two years ago that passion rocketed to new heights when I visited Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona.For a whole week I lived in a college dorm,roomed with a total stranger,and best of all,I flew!

My group took part in activities from learning about the history of aviation（航空）to flying in pilot training simulators（模拟器）.At least once a day,I was lost in one of the world's best training aircraft,the Cessna 182.I received thorough ground instruction,and also got to fly.In total,I flew five hours toward receiving my private pilot's license.In that joyous week,my passion for aviation grew even stronger.Now,whenever I see a plane flying overhead, I feel a sense of pride,thinking I've done that.

During my time above the Arizona desert,I learned not only about the mechanics and techniques of aviation,tout also about myself and how I see the world.Floating in that seemingly endless sea of air,I became aware of the variety and the complexity of the humanity below.On the ribbons of roadways,each tiny car carried people with hopes and ambitions.I wondered if any of them had ever wished to fly like an eagle.I realized they must have their own strong desire.That's what makes us unique.We always try to respond to something special inside us.I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.

Everywhere I go,I hear,"Do what makes you happy,and you will be happy."It sounds like standard advice,but I've really thought about it and taken it to heart.I couldn't care less about what benefits I receive.I know I am already in hot pursuit of my dreams.Even if they change,and even if they finally don't involve aviation,I'll always aim to fly with the eagles.

Food festivals around the world

Stilton Cheese Rolling

May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane（赛道）. Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors arc served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.

Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth

Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy（辛辣）,but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three clays every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!

La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food Fight

On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.

The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!

What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher？I think the following would be generally accepted.

Firstly，the teacher's personality should be lively and attractive. This does not rule out people who are plain?looking，or even ugly，because many such people have great personal charm. 1..

Secondly，it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a capacity for sympathy，a capacity to understand the minds and feelings of children. 2.—not of what is wrong，but of the weaknesses and immaturity of children，which cause them to make mistakes.

Thirdly，I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths and limitations，and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided. 3.. That is part of the technique of teaching，which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act—to enliven(使生动)a lesson，correct a fault，or award praise.

A teacher must be capable of infinite patience. 4.，for we are none of us born like that.

Finally，I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on learning. 5.；there is always something more to learn about. There are three principal objects of study：the subjects which the teacher is teaching；the methods by which the subjects can best be taught to the particular pupils in the classes he is teaching；most importantly，the children，young people，or adults to whom the subjects are to be taught.

A．This，I may say，is largely a matter of self?discipline and self?training

B．Closely related to this is the capacity to be tolerant

C. Teaching is a job at which one will never be perfect

D．Children，especially young children，live in a world that is rather larger than life

E．There is no contradiction (自相矛盾)in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor

F．But it does rule out such types as the over?excitable，sad，cold，and frustrated

G．There are two fundamental principles of British education today

Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata (奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.

Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to sun playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me — I hear the notes and can bear them in mind — each and every note,” says Samuel.

Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory — I guess I have that gift.”

However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t slop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.

Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.
