man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps.

A good book may be among the best of human's friends. 1 It is the most patient and cheerful companion. It does not turn its back upon us in times of hardship or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness.

Men often discover their similarity to each other by the common love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. 2 But there is more wisdom in this: "Love me,love my book. " The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think,feel,and sympathize with each other through their favorite author.

A good book is often the best container of a life enshrining (珍藏) the best that life could think out; for the world of a man's life is,for the most part,but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words,the golden thoughts,which become our constant companions and comforters.

3 They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay,but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts,which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author's minds,ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed pages.

Books introduce us into the best society. They bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; 4 we sympathize with them,enjoy with them,grieve with them; their experience becomes ours.

The great and good do not die,even in this world. Embalmed in books,their spirits walk abroad. 5 It is an intellect to which one still listens.

A. we see them as if they were really alive;

B. There is an old proverb, "Love me,love my dog."

C. Books possess an essence of immortality.

D. One should always live in the best company,whether it be of books or of men.

E. The book is a living voice.

F. It is the same today that it always was,and it will never change.

G. It amuses and instructs us in youth,and comforts and consoles us in age. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

To be a good teacher,you need some of the gifts of a good actor―you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience;1 with a good,strong,pleasing voice which is fully under your control;and you must be able to act what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher,and 2 ;he stands the whole time for his explanations,using his face to express his feelings. Listen to him,and you will hear the loudness,the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.

The fact that 3 doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to repeat words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words. Each time he plays a certain part,even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. 4

A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play; they ask and answer questions;they obey orders,and if they don't understand something,they say so. 5 He cannot learn his part by heart,but must invent it as he goes along. I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but unable to take part in a stage play because they could not keep strictly to what other people had written.

A. you must be a clear speaker

B. Teachers are very important for students.

C. a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor

D. you will see that he does not sit still before his class

E. A good teacher must learn from a good actor on the stage.

F. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience.

G. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions natural on the stage.

It looked like rain. The sky was gray. It was almost noon,but the sun 1 (hide) by a gray blanket. It was cool. There were no birds 2 (fly) anywhere. A couple of birds sat on the telephone wire. Bob was standing outside talking to Bill. They both had their hands in their pockets. They knew that it was probably going to rain 3 (short) . A sudden breeze blew some leaves off a tree onto the sidewalk.

A young woman wearing a dark blue coat and jeans walked by. She was walking 4 small dog. It was pure white and pretty. It sniffed at a tree trunk. The woman 5 (patience) waited. Finally,the dog lifted its leg.

Bob said that he liked the rain. It was a nice change from the usual hot Los Angeles weather. And the plants could always use the extra water. Bill said the only thing 6 he didn't like 7 rain was that all the motor oil on the streets would get washed into the ocean,and 8 would all the rubbish.

"9 that never stops the surfers," Bob said. " 10 don't seem to care what is in the water,as long as there are waves to surf on."

Sharks have been around for hundreds of millions of years. 1 Some sharks live near the surface,some live deep in the water,and others on or near the ocean floor.

We tend to think of sharks as big dangerous creatures. We sometimes read about shark attacks in the newspapers,and in1975 the film Jaws terrified moviegoers with the story of a great white shark which attacked holiday makers in a small seaside town in the USA. 2 It can reach 6 metres in length and up to2,000 kilograms in weight. It has as many as3,000 needle sharp teeth,so it can sever (割断) a man's leg in a single bite.

But not all sharks are like the great white. 3 There are almost400 species of sharks and more than half of these are under a metre in length. The biggest sharks of all are not at all dangerous to humans. The basking shark and the whale shark grow to around 12 metres,but they are quite harmless.

4 Among all these sharks,the bull shark is the one that is most likely to attack people. It swims in very shallow waters where people swim. 5 Indeed you are far more likely to be killed by a dog or by bees than by a shark,and some scientists believe that sharks only attack people because they mistake them for their favourite food.

A. The pigmy shark,for example,is only about 20 centimetres in length.

B. Less than one hundred people are attacked by sharks each year.

C. A shark is a large fish considered to be dangerous to humans.

D. Only about 25species are dangerous to people.

E. The great white is certainly a fearsome creature.

F. We can never imagine such things can happen.

G. They live in oceans and seas all over the world.

Every year 10 to 15 percent of babies bom in the ?.S. end up in the neonatal intensive care unit(新生儿重症监护病房) (NICU) of a hospital because of heart problems or other issues. And for the parents of those children,NIC? nurses are their rock.
