Choose the Perfect Christmas Tree

How to pick the perfect specimen and care for it over the holidays?

Nothing adds to the excitement of the holiday season like a decorated Christmas tree. And, now that natural trees have been declared the winner in the “which-is-greener” debate, you’ll want one that reflects your own style.

Enviro-winner

Natural Christmas trees are more enviro-friendly for several reasons. According to Ross Gough, executive director of the Christmas Tree Farmers of Ontario, “If composted corr ectly, a natural Christmas tree will break down within two years so there is nothing for the landfill. Buying natural also means you’re supporting a local farmer and reducing your carbon footprint.”

Back to the basics

Not only will you be doing your bit fo r the environment you’ll also be in vogue. “With the downturn in the economy, people want to keep things simple but beautiful. Nothing looks better or is more authentic than a natural Christmas tree,” says Lena Maher, a Montreal-based eco- decorator and event planner.

Choose your type

There are four basic types of trees sold at farms and nurseries:

Scotch pine: Brought over by European settlers, the Scotch pine has been the perennial favourite throughout North America. Its sturdy branches that curve upwards mean this tree can handle plenty of ornaments. Needles are in sharp clusters of two with colours ranging from blue-green to yellow-green. It has decent needle retention, but it requires plenty of pesticides to get a healthy tree, so it’s falling out of favour.

Balsam fir: With its dense, dark-green foliage, the balsam is quickly becoming the new darling of natural trees. It’s tall but narrow pyramid shape is topped off with a spire-like tip—perfect for a star. The flat, rounded needles are softer, making it one of the easiest to decorate so you can get the kids to help. It’s also very aromatic, holding its scent and needles for longer than most other trees. An excellent choice if your tree is going to be up longer than three weeks.

White spruce: This tree has strong slender branches with dense green to bluish-green foliage. It has a perfect form with a symmetrical, cone-shaped crown and evenly spreading branches. Needles are short, stiff and blunt at the end, so it can be a bit prickly to decorate. It has excellent needle retention, but its one downside is a rather disagreeable odour when the needles are crushed.

Fraser fir: Similar in shape to the balsam, the Fraser fir is quickly becoming the designer natural tree. It has a rich, dark green foliage with soft silver undertones. Its upper branches have a gentle upward curve, giving it a pleasing U-shape. It’s pleasant scent and ultra-soft needles with good retention are also a plus. Due to its longer growing cycle, this will be a much more expensive

tree

Don’t procrastinate

Avoid leaving tree shopping until the last minute. After December 15, the best trees will be gone. “Two weeks before Christmas is the optimum time for picking your tree. Many cut-your-own farms will be running out of stock by then,” say s Gough.

Caring for your tree

Forget the ginger ale, aspirin, sugar water or bleach. A study done by The Natural Christmas Christmas Tree Association proved that plain H20 is the best solution to prolong the life of your tree. “Solutions like sugar water actually create a seal and prevent the cells between the bark and the wood from taking up water and your tree will dry out quicker,” says Gough.

Gough’s tree tips

When you get the tree home, immediately cut between half an inch to one inch off the bottom.

Make sure your stand is big enough for your tree.

Water your tree immediately. It’s going to be thirsty, so start off with four litres and keep topping that up.

As soon as the needles start of drop, your tree is done. Pack it up and send it out to be recycled. Ask your tree farm for a tree bag. These convenient bags rest underneath the tree so when you are done you simply pull the bag up around the tree and put it outside with no pine needle trails.

The Human Brain—New Discoveries

Parts of the Brain

Most of us learn basic facts about the human brain in our middle or high school biology cla sses. We study the subcortex, the “old brain”, which is found in the brains of most animals and is responsible for basic functions such as breathing, eating, drinking, and sleeping. We learn about the neocortex, the “new brain”, which is unique to humans a nd is where complex brain activity takes place. We find that the cerebrum, which is responsible for all active thought, is divided into two parts, or hemispheres. The left hemisphere, generally, manages the right side of the body: it is responsible for logical thinking. The right hemisphere manages the left side of the body: this hemisphere controls emotional, creative, and artistic functions. Recent research is shedding light on creativity, memory, maturity, gender, and the relationship between mind and body.

Left Brain/Right Brain: Creativity

Psychologists agree that most of us have creative ability that’s greater than what we use in daily life. In other words, we can be more creative than we realize! The problem is that we use mainly one hemisphere of our brain—the left.

Memory—True or False?

In the 1980s in the United States, there were many cases of adults, who suddenly remembered, with the help of a psychologist, things that had happened to them in childhood. These memories had been repressed—held back—for many years. Some of these newly discovered memories have sent people to prison. As people remember crimes (such as murder or rape) that they saw or experienced as children, the police have re-opened and investigated old criminal cases. In fact, over 700 cases have been filed that are based on these repressed memories.

However, studies in the 1990s suggested that many of these might be false memories. It is known that small pieces of a memory (sound, sight, feeling, and so on) are kept in different parts of the brain; the limbic system, in the middle of the brain, pulls these pieces together into one complete memory. But it’s certain that people can “remember” things that have never happened. Most frightening, according to Dr. Michael Nash of the Unive rsity of Tennessee, is that “there may be no structural difference” in the brain between a false memory and a true one.

The Teen Brain

The traditional belief was that by the age of 8 to 12, the brain was completely mature. However, very recent studies provide evidence that the brain of a teenager differs from that of both children and adults. According to Jay Giedd of the National Institute of Mental Health, “Maturation does not stop at age 10, but continues into the teen years” and beyond. In fact, Giedd and his colleagues found that the corpus callosum “continues growing into your 20s.” Because, it is believed, the corpus callosum is involved in self-awareness and intelligence, the new studies imply that teens may not be as fully self-aware or as intelligent as they will be later. Other researchers at McLean Hospital in Massachusetts, have found that teenagers are not able (as adults are) to “read” emotions on people’s faces.

Differences in Male and Female Brains

Watch a group of children as they play. Yo u’ll probably notice that, the boys and girls play differently, speak differently and are interested in different things. When they grow into men and women, the differences do not disappear. Many scientists are now studying the origins of these gender differences. Some are searching for an explanation in the human brain. Some of their findings are interesting. For example, they’ve found that more men than women are left-handed; this reflects the dominance of the brain’s right hemisphere. By contrast, more w omen listen equally with both ears while men listen mainly with the right ear. Men are better at reading a map without having to rotate it. Women are better at reading the emotions of people in photographs.

Wired for Music?

It might seem logical to believe that our appreciation of music is learned—that nurture, not nature, determines this. However, it is now clear that nature also plays a role; recent studies indicate that the human brain is “wired” for music. Music might actually improve some forms of intelligence. A 1999 study proves that music can help children do better at math —not, oddly, other subjects, just math.

The Mystery of the Mind-Body Relationship

There is more and more evidence everyday to prove that our minds and bodies are closely connected. Negative emotions, such as loneliness, depression, and helplessness, are believed to cause a higher rate of sickness and death. Similarly, it’s possible that positive thinking can help people remain good physical health or become well faster after an illness. Although some doctors are doubtful about this, most accept the success of new therapies (e.g., relaxation and meditation) that help people with problems such as ulcers, high blood pressure, insomnia (sleeplessness), and migraine headaches.

Feeding a City

Nothing to Buy!

It snowed all day and all night, for two days and two nights. By the third day there was four feet of snow in the street. Many streets were blocked by the snow. Cars and trucks could not get through. Some food stores weren’t open, and others did not have much food to sell. Only a little canned food was left on the shelves, and a little frozen food in the freezers.

The city’s food moves on wheels. If the trucks can’t run, no food reaches the stores. Any time the trucks cannot make deliveries, there is trouble. Soon there is nothing to buy.

Today most people live in cities and do not grow their own food. Their food must be bought in stores.

Protecting Food from Air

The air contains many living things that can harm our food. Some things, such as insects, can be seen only with a microscope.

All living things need water. We can protect some of our food by drying it. Living things can grow only at certain temperatures. We can also protect our food by heating or cooling it.

We can keep some living things away from our food by wrapping it.

Icebox Cars

In the old days, fresh food had to be eaten in the city no more than one or two days after it left the farm. If kept longer, it would spoil. Food could not be moved very far, so people in one part of the country could not enjoy food grown in other parts.

A New York man had an idea. He filled a wooden railroad car with eight tons of butter. The car was hooked to a freight train and pulled from New York to Boston, Massachusetts.

How could this be? The butter was packed in ice, and twice during the trip, more ice was added. This was the first “refrigerator” car.

Now there are mechanical refrigerator cars. But most refrigerator cars still use ice. Many refrigerator cars have fans that keep the cool air moving through the car. In this his way, all the food stays at the same temperature.

This Little Piggy Went to Market

Animals that will be used for food must travel in special livestock trucks. These trucks do not have solid sides; there are large openings so that the animals can get enough air. The animals must be given water on the trip.

These trucks can get very hot on a summer day. If the trip is long, the animals can lose weight. To keep this from happening, the trucks have sprinklers that sprinkle water on the animals to keep them cool.

Frozen Foods

Some foods, such as fish, spoil very quickly. This food must be frozen before it is shipped.

If fresh food is frozen quickly, its taste is not changed very much. There are factories that freeze fish as soon as it is taken off the fishing boats. It is shipped in refrigerator trucks to the cities.

Tanks of Milk

Fresh milk does not travel far, and it needs very special handling. It is not put into containers on the farms. It is put into huge, refrigerated tank trucks. The tank is made of stainless steel, which is kept very clean.

These trucks travel to the bottling plants in the city. There the milk is pasteurized to remove any bacteria before it is put into bottles. It is then sent to the stores in a refrigerator truck.

Canning

Napoleon knew that his army needed a way to save food. Fresh food could not be prepared every day. He offered a prize to anyone who could find the best way to preserve food for the French army.

Nicholas Appert, who lived in Paris, came up with the idea of canning. He used glass bottles with tight corks.

Glass bottles broke too easily, so people started using tin cans.

Canning, today, is done in factories that are very close to the farms. This way, the food can be done while it is still fresh, and it is cheaper than shipping fresh food all the way to the city. The food in cans has been cooked, and the cans are tightly sealed to keep bacteria out.

From Farm to You

Fresh, frozen, dried, canned—food comes rushing into the city stores from everywhere. But most stores do not have the space to keep much extra food. So trucks must deliver food to them day after day. Cities are for people. People are the most important part of a city. And people must be fed.

(764 words) Questions

( ) 1. People in the city can’t buy anything from the food store because of the heavy snow. ( ) 2. Th e city’s food is served by the city people.

( ) 3. Bacteria is visible to the naked eye.

( ) 4. In the old days, food could not be moved very far, so people in one part of the country could not enjoy food grown in other parts.

Young blog their way to a publishing revolution

The extent of the personal publishing revolution has been revealed by a Guardian/ICM poll showing that a third of all young people online have launched (发动，开办) their own blog or website.

Millions of young people who have grown up with the internet and mobile phones are no longer content with the one-way traffic of traditional media. They are publishing and collecting their own content, according to the survey of those aged between 14 and 21.

A generation has grown up using the internet as its primary means of communication, thanks to an early grasp of online communities and messaging services as well as simple technology allowing web users to launch a personal weblog, or blog, without any specialist technical knowledge. On average, people between 14 and 21 spend almost eight hours a week online, but it is far from a solitary (独自的) activity. There are signs of a significant generation gap, and rather than using the internet as their parents do——as an information source, to shop or to read newspapers online—most young people are using it to communicate with one another.

About half of that time is spent chatting to friends in online communities or using messaging services, while another hour is spent emailing. The internet may be a window into their personal field, but it is not a window on the world for young people: only one in 10 say they use it to keep up with news and current affairs.

This trend towards online communication has already shown itself among music fans, with enthusiastic new communities forming around the latest bands often before they have even released a single or been heard on the radio. According to the survey, those aged between 14 and 21 download an average of 34 tracks a month from the internet and buy an average of two CDs. Of those with internet access at home, almost eight in 10 have a broadband connection. The explosion in cheaper high-speed internet access, which allows quicker access to music and video files and is typically charged at a flat monthly rate, has led to a sudden increase in the time web users spend online.

The media regulator Ofcom said this year that more than 8m households are now connected to broadband. According to the poll, six in 10 young people have internet access at home, with a quarter of those having their own computer in their bedroom. Many more have access at school, college or university. But among those with a web connection at home, 31% said that they had launched their own personal site or blog. Those aged 16 to 17 have taken most eagerly to personal online publishing, with a female bias (趋势，偏爱).

Some will have started personal sites with basic personal information or centered around music or sport, while others have become mini publishing magnates（巨头）before leaving school. Earlier this year, the tracking site Technorati revealed that a new blog was created every second.

The results also lay bare the confusing pace of change in media consumption among young people and outline the challenge faced by traditional publishers and broadcasters.

Rupert Murdoch, who recently spent ￡332.85m on the youth networking site https://www.sodocs.net/doc/1b2846077.html,, issued a “change or die” warning to an audience of US editors earlier this year. Admitting that the media industry had been “remarkably, unaccountably complacent (得意的)”, he described the shift in attitudes as “a revolution in the way young people are accessing news”.

“They don’t want to rely on the morning paper for their up-to-date information. They don’t want to rely on a God-like figure from above to tell them wh at’s important. And to carry the religion analogy a bit further, they certainly don’t want news presented as gospel (福音书)”, he said.

Only one in 10 said they used the internet to read the news, with most preferring to use it as a means of expression and communication. More than half said they read a newspaper at least once a week, rising to seven in 10 by the age of 21. Their preference, most probably often influenced by their parents’ choice of paper, was for the Sun, followed by the Daily Mirror and Daily Mail. The survey showed 96% of those questioned owned a mobile phone, and two-thirds had a games console.

新标准大学英语综合教程1第六单元译文

第六单元（1）购物疗法，还是购物痴迷症？ 琳达从百货商店出来，手里拿着五六个购物袋。她乐得合不拢嘴，就跟《欲望都市》中的女主角卡丽一模一样。只不过她不住在纽约，而是住在英国伦敦。“我一看到喜欢的东西就非买不可，”她说，“把各种颜色的全都买下来，但最让我痴迷的还是鞋子。” 在曼彻斯特的家中，凯特在卧室里存放了24袋衣服，这些衣服的标签还没摘掉。她承认：“我常常穿同一身衣服上班，所以我的同事根本就想不到我在家里还藏着这么多衣服。” 住在伦敦的卡里纳每星期要光顾商场五六次。“递上信用卡的时候，我无比兴奋，”她说。“购物时，那种地位显赫、身价不凡的感觉真是无与伦比。” 那么，她们的行为是购物疗法，还是购物痴迷症？大多数人有时也喜欢购物，但是，如果一个人迷恋购物，不惜负债甚至倾家荡产，那就不是一件好事了。购物痴迷症的征兆是：新鞋不上脚，新衣不开包。 心理学家认为，购物痴迷症是购物成瘾，通过治疗可以得到缓解。它的症状包括逃避现实、行为失控、幻想自由或三者兼而有之。当然，诱惑无处不在，你如果没有时间去商场购物，还可以通过很多其他的办法将购物进行到底，如电视居家购物，商品目录邮购和网上购物。 那么，购物痴迷症会造成什么后果呢？入不敷出、羞愧难当、后悔不迭。 研究表明，购物痴迷症是一个全球性问题，90%的购物狂是女性。据估计，全球共有10%的女性受到这个问题的困扰，平均每人负债8000英镑。购物痴迷症的初发期通常是在女性20出头的时候，那时她们刚刚找到第一份工作，挣到第一笔钱。在随后的几年中，她们的债务渐渐地越积越多。男人也会购物成瘾，不过他们不买衣服，而是买车、买工具和电子产品。 那么我们为什么会如此迷恋购物呢？其中一个原因是，购物看上去是一件充满诱惑而又激动人心的事情。据估计，关注时尚的维多利亚?贝克汉姆每年要花费100，000英镑购物。在《欲望都市》中扮演卡丽的萨拉?杰西卡?帕克坦言，她拥有100双马诺洛·布兰尼克牌的鞋子，每双的价格少则300美元，多则1000美元。在2006年的德国世界杯期间，所谓的WAGs（足球明星的太太和女友们）名声大噪，因为她们其中的六个人竟然在一小时之内就花掉了57，000 英镑买衣服和鞋子。 另一个原因是，很多18至24岁的年轻人通过购物缓解压力。有时候，在孤独、焦虑、愤怒或缺乏关爱等情绪的驱使下，一个典型的购物狂会通过购物来安慰自己，向世人证明“她配得上这些东西。”更深层的原因是，现在人们很容易就能申请到信用卡。在20 世纪70年代之前，买东西都是用现金，而且女性不能以自己的名义借钱。如今，拥有一张信用卡已是平常事，就是负债也没有什么大不了的。而且，刷卡的时候不觉得是在花钱。 那么，如果你认为自己是一个购物狂，你怎么办呢？首先，你要承认自己出了问题，然后找出你如此迷恋购物的原因：是因为你的生活中缺少了什么别的东西吗？是你的人际关系需要关注，还是你的婚姻状况不佳？你的父母是否更看中物质财富，而不是情感？然后，你必须找到其他的能给你带来快乐的活动。最后，如果你确实需要购物，那就先列一个清单，只买你需要的，不要买别的东西。用现金付账，销毁所有的信用卡，只保留一张应急，并将它托给朋友保管。 琳达、凯特和卡里纳并不是特例，像世界各地的许多女人一样，她们的故事有一个幸福的开端，却在绝望中结束。像所有的上瘾者一样，购物成瘾的人需要有足够的耐心才能走完康复之路。 （2）如何与男朋友一起逛商场 你知道逛商场与买东西不是一回事，可你的男朋友却不知道。 女人喜欢逛商场，她们逛商场的方式就像我们过去猎取食物一样。过去，我们喜欢花一

英语快速阅读答题技巧

首先要明白：快速阅读的文章虽长（1200字，仔细阅读平均每篇330个字），但是从内容上说，大都是通俗易懂的说明文，没有学术色彩和思想深度；从语言上来说，遣词造句都比较简单。所以，根本没必要害怕。个人以为，快速阅读应该比仔细阅读更容易拿分。 具体答题步骤如下： 第一步：浏览Skim ( 0。5分钟– 2分钟 ) 1．分析大标题（Brainstorm the Title）（5 – 10秒）目的：调动脑细胞，主动预测文章内容。 官方样题Landfills 的分析思路：land + fill = 土地填埋，加了s, 可能指多处填埋场地。在不认识这个单词的情况下（汉译：垃圾填筑地），能想到这一层就算漂亮。 2006年12月真题Six Secrets of High-Energy People 的分析思路：secrets：多数人不知道，一定新颖有趣；high-energy people 只能是指精力充沛的人，不可能是X 战警。文章要告诉我们，那些人为什么精力充沛，希望我们学习他们的秘诀。

2006年6月真题Highways的分析思路：为什么要修建公路？怎么修建？公路有哪些功能？存在哪些问题？一般说明文的写作结构都是如此：计划–成形–功能–问题。例如：联合国的起因–联合国的成立–联合国的运作–联合国的问题。 2．分析小标题 (Tidy the Subtitles）(20 – 25秒) 目的：了解文章内容，把握总体结构。 官方样题： Sub 1：How Much Trash Is Generated? 一看该段字数少，忽视 Sub 2：How Is Trash Disposed of? 关键字：处理 Sub 3：What Is a Landfill? 引进主题，字数增加，进入重点。推理：landfill 肯定是上面提到的一种垃圾处理方法 Sub 4：Proposing the Landfill Landfill由新信息变成已知信息。关键字：Proposing 计划、建议

现代大学英语精读第六册 的第四课和第九课课文 原文

Nettles Our farm was small-nine acres. It was small enough for me to have explored every part of it. Each of the trees on the place had an attitude and a presence-the elm looked serene and the oak threatening, the maples friendly, the hawthorn old and crabby. Even the pits on the river flats had their flats had their distinct character. The girls as well as the boys were divided into two sides. Each girl had her own pile of balls and was working for paticular soldiers, and when a soldier fell wounded he would call out a girl’s name, so that she could drag him away and dress his wounds as quickly as possible. I made weapons for Mike, and mine ws the name he called. There was a keen alarm when the cry came, a wire zinging through your whole body, a fanatic feeling of devotion. When Mike was wounded he never opened his eyes. He lay limp and still while I pressed slimy large leaves to his forehead and throat and-pulling out his shirt-to his pale tender stomach, with its sweet and vulnerable belly button. One morning, of course, the job was all finished, the well capped, the pump reinstated, the fresh water marvelled at. And the truck did not come. There were two fewer chairs at the table for the noon meal. Mike and I had barely looked at each other during those meals. He liked to put ketcup on his bread. His father talked to my father, and the talk was mostly about well, accidents, water tables. A serious man. All work, my father said. Yet- he-Mike’s father-ended nearly every speech with a laugh. The laugh had a lonely boom in it, as if he were still down the well. Sunny and I had been friends in Vancouver years before. Our pregnancies had dovetailed, so that we had managed with one set of maternity clothes. In my kitchen or in hers, once a week or so, distracted by our children and sometimes reeling for lack of sleep, we stoked ourselves up on strong coffee and cigarettes and launched out on a rampage of talk about our marriages, our personal deficiencies, our interesting and discreditable motives, and our forgone ambitions. We read Jung at the same time and tried to keep track of our dreams. During that time of life that is supposed to be a reproductive daze, with the woman’s mind all swamped by maternal juices, we were still compelled to discuss Simone de Beauvoir and Arthur Koestler and “The Cocktail Party”. He had slept in the guest bedroom the night before but tonight he’d moved downstairs to the fold-out sofa in the front room. Sunny had given him fresh sheets rather than unmarking and making up again the bed he had left for me. Lying in those same sheets did not make for a peaceful night. I knew that he wouldn’t come to see, no matter how small the risk was. It would be a sleazy thing to do, in the house of his friends. And how could he be sure that it was what I wanted? Or that it was what he really wanted? Even I was not sure of it. Up till now, I had always been able to think of myself as a woman who was faithful to the person who she was sleeping with at any given time. My sleep was shallow, my dreams monotonously lustful, with irritating and unpleasant subplots. All night-or at least whenener I woke up-the crickets wre singing outside my windows. At first I thought it was birds. I had lived in cities long enough to have forgotten how crickets can make a perfect waterfall of noise. The bushes right at the edge of the grass looked impenetrable, but close up there were little openings, the narrow paths that animals or people looking for golf balls had made. The ground sloped slightly downward, and we could see a bit of the river. The water was steel gray, and lookedto be rolling. Between it and us there was a meadow of weeds, all in bloom-goldenrod, jewelweed with its red-and-yellow bells, and what I thought were flowering nettles with pinkish-

Why I Love the City 我的许多朋友都离开了这座城市。它们是在郊区买房子,因为他们想要远离城市的喧嚣、烟雾、交通、和犯罪的城市。一个朋友说,“有太多的空气污染的城市。我更喜欢郊区,那里的空气是那么清新。“另一个朋友抱怨交通:“有太多的汽车市区!你不能找到一个停车的地方,交通堵塞的情况都很可怕。“每个人都在抱怨关于犯罪:“城市有许多罪犯。我很少离开我的房子”的幻影却如太危险了。 在我朋友搬离城市,他们通常会背诵优势郊区生活:绿草、花卉、游泳池、烤肉等等。然而在我的朋友们在那里住了一年左右的时间里,他们意识到郊区生活就不那么愉快,因为他们期待。这种变化的原因是什么?他们的花园!他们很快了解到,一个不可避免的一部分yardwork郊区生活。他们整个周末都在工作在他们的花园,它们是非常累的一把,又要取他们的水池游泳甚至做一些肉放在他们的烤肉。又有另一个投诉:他们不能住在郊区没有一辆车。我的大多数朋友都搬到郊区,避开塞车,但现在他们不得不上班市中心。他们坐在一个繁忙的公路每天两个小时! 我的意见是非常不同的城市生活,从我朋友的我住在市区吗?和我爱它! ! !为什么?嗯,首先,我喜欢nature-flowers、绿草、树木和动物。在这个城市里,我有一切优势自然:我可以步行通过公共公园,闻闻花香,坐在草地上在树下。我可以参观,动物园里的动物。然而到目前为止我还没有一个缺点:我不需要做yardwork或喂动物。同时,在这个城市,到处都可以让我乘公共汽车吗?如果有交通堵塞,我可以走回去。 似乎每个人都搬到郊区,避免罪恶的大城市。我有一个理论的城市犯罪的,然而,所以我觉得安全罪犯将反映在社会生活的变化:如果人们买了房子在郊区,罪犯将步其后尘。罪犯想避免噪音、烟雾、污染了。不久,过于拥挤和犯罪的问题,而不是城市郊区! People on the Move 美国人的历史,在某种程度上,历史运动的美国人民。他们移到东海岸的殖民地到开放空间的西部。从乡下搬,农场到城里去。最近,美国人一直不断地由城市郊区。 开放空间;西部地区迁移 美国人开始先驱移动,从东海岸到西250年前。他们向西边移居的原因有许多种。一个理由是无限的开放空间的可用性和土地耕作。美国人喜欢大的开放空间,他们也喜欢独立和自由发展的土地以他们自己的方式。一些土地变得农场。重要的矿产资源被发现在某些地区,因此有一些那地就都归了地雷。其他大型地区成为牛牧场。似乎对每个人都有足够的土地。但这是一个困难的生活——一种无止境的工作和困难。 城市 1860年以后,工业革命改变了美国。美国人学会了如何生产的钢铁。他们开始生产石油。汽车被发明了。工厂各类开始出现,而在城市开始长大了工厂周围。农民和其他的国家里,人们搬到越来越多的城市人为了寻找工作,更容易的生活。在1900年代早期,城市工作忙、令人激动的地方。然而,也有很多贫穷和困苦。 城市增长的城市建筑taller-and不必得到增长out-they展开的中心。私有房屋和门廊与码就消失了。公寓,每一个个子比下、就住在他们的地方。越来越多的人搬到城市,越来越大,城市。 一些城市不能分散因为没有房间这么做。这些城市,纽约就是一个最好的例子,变得越来越拥挤。更多的人意味着更多的汽车、卡车、公交车、更大的噪音,更多的污染,以及更多的犯罪。许多城市变得丑陋肮脏。有些人而有些公司开始离开城市搬到郊区城市外围。 郊区 搬到郊区的仍然是发生。美国人正在寻找一小块土地,他们可以叫他们自己。他们想要一座房子和院子。然而,他们不想放弃好的工作在城市。在许多情况下,公司在郊区给他们的工作。在其他情况下,美国人常常通勤到城市,在城市他们职业。近年来,越来越多的企业开始向郊区迁移。他们吸引了很多人,郊区变得拥挤。 接下来要做什么? 美国人看了他们缓慢下落到大城市年久失修而死。许多人离开了城市中产阶级,只有非常富有的人和很多贫困的人呆在后面。有关美国人正设法解决这一问题的噪音、灰尘、犯罪和污染在大城市里。他们正试图重建坏的部分城市为了吸引和保持业务的人。他们正在努力使他们的城市美丽。如今,许多美国人都正在考虑搬回了城市。 其他美国人发现甚至郊区已经变得太拥挤了。他们正在寻找无污染的开阔空间和作为独立的生活方式。他们准备离开郊区到乡下。 也许美国人总是会在前进。 Caution: Bumpy Road Ahead

英语快速阅读的方法和技巧

英语快速阅读的方法和技巧 在英语考试中，阅读理解部分的分值占整个试卷分值的很重，阅读速度的快慢、对文章内容理解掌握的程度，往往直接影响到我们能否顺利通过英语考试。现在英语考试的时间特别紧张，几乎没有时间慢慢琢磨，必须要实现英语快速阅读。在这种情况下，常常使参试人员焦头烂额。有没有一个好的解决办法呢？多年来，在对英语水平考试辅导过程中，着重加强他们快速阅读能力的训练，培养在尽可能短的时间内进行英语快速阅读的能力。使阅读活动具有更大的效用值，产生更高的效率。希望这些经验能对所有英语考试人员有一定的参考价值。 那么，什么是快速阅读？所谓快速阅读，就是以较快的速度在规定的时间内有目的、有方法、高效率地阅读材料，以便从中获得所需的信息。 一、进行快速阅读的必要条件 进行英语快速阅读的必要条件是：基本知识、语言基础、阅读技能、快速阅读不是一种孤立的能力，它必须以了解一 定的基本知识为先决条件，以具备一定的词汇和基本语法为基础，还要掌握一些重要的阅读技能。如果没有语言基础，阅读材料通篇都是生词，语法难点很多，即使掌握了一些快速阅读的技能，要快也快不了。反之，如果只有语言基础知识，而没有阅读技能，要想读得快，读得多，也是不可能的。但是，如果对材料的内容缺乏基本常识，即使语言基础好，并具备阅读技能，也不可能“快读”，只能“慢读”。 基本知识主要是指的是所涉及英语的专业知识，没有一定的专业知识，要想把内容理解透是有相当大的难度的。 语言基础知识主要指词汇量和句型结构。要有一定的词汇量。这包括两部分，一是公共部分，二是专业部分。我认为公共英语部分至少要达到4，000个单词

量，而专业部分最好要有1，500个词汇量。要有一定的句型分析能力。英语文章最大的语法难点是句型，句型中的难点是定语从句。一个句子很长，往往是由于定语从句连环套在作怪，定语中套着定语。这样的连环从句表达专业概念非常严谨，却给我们阅读带来困难。因此，我们要能够进行层次分析，准确把握各从句之间的关系，才能提高阅读速度。同时，要了解词性的变化，名词的动用和动词的名用。至于时态等其它的语法现象对我们具备一定语法知识的参试人员来说，基本上构不成多大障碍。 二、快速阅读的重要性 所谓的阅读能力主要是指精读和泛读能力。然而，英语阅读中，速度是人们最普遍关心的问题之一。在实际工作和生活中，百分之八十至百分之九十的阅读一般都是快速阅读、通过快速阅读，我们可以更广泛、更大量地阅读资料，猎取知识，增长见识，开阔眼界。通过大量阅读，频繁地接触语言材料，可以自觉或不自觉地学到或掌握大量的词汇和语汇，进一步熟练阅读技术，提高阅读能力，培养阅读兴趣和习惯。 三、快速阅读的速度与理解的关系 现在许多参试人员平时学习中对英语快速阅读的认识不足，他们无论看什么英文材料，都只注重理解而不注意阅读速度，因而阅读的效率、水平都难以提高。这样一来，处理好阅读速度和理解之间的平衡关系是我们值得认真对待的一个实际问题。速度太快，理解上往往出现很大的困难；速度太慢，又浪费很多的时间和精力。 在处理这两者之间的关系中，我认为要分为三个阶段。第一个阶段是筛选阶段。在我们阅读文章的过程中，首先筛选出对我们有利用价值的。每分钟的阅读速度可达800个字符，重点放在文章的标题和每段的第一句和最后一句上，基本上可对文章的中心、作者的意图有个20-30%的了解。在此基础上，进入第二阶

Book One Unit Four Passage One Directions: You will have 10 minutes to read this passage quickly and answer the following questions from A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Youth Speak If you think the English language is getting shorter, you may be right. From news bytes to text-messaging to famously shorter attention spans, we're saying less—and relying on slang more. Why? With so much of our daily communications taking place online these days—and that doesn’t include just e-mail, but text-messaging on increasingly teenier devices—it seems everyday English has been reduced to a code of accepted abbreviations, mysterious combinations of numbers and letters, and even symbols masquerading as facial expressions. :) Often in all lowercase(小写字母) letters. Certain numbers, “2” and “4” in particular, play starring roles—replacing, respectively, “to” and “for”—but the far more interesting development is the embrace of the number “3” for the letter “e” (“b3” and “th3”), and the number “8” for the sound it makes (“gr8” and “l8r” for “great” and “later”). While some of these brave new acronyms(首字母缩拼词) can actually be self-explanatory (“u” for “you” and “ur” for “your”) or fairly logical (“b4” for “before”), or can highlight the sounds the letters ma ke (“qt” for “cutie” and “cu” for “see you”) or act as abbreviations (“cuz” for “because”), or can be just straightforward acronyms (“bff” for “best friends forever”), some do border on strange (“peeps” for “people”). Some terms that have been in circulati on for quite a while are pretty recognizable: “lol” (“laughing out loud”), “btw” (“by the way”), and “imho” (“in my humble opinion”). Some, meanwhile, are puzzling: “iykwim” (“if you know what I mean”), “mtfbwy” (“may the force be with you”), and “wysiwyg”(“what you see is what you get”). At times, this alphabet-soup vernacular (本国语，俗语) feels absolutely confusing to everyone but linguists and computer geeks. But it’s difficult to argue with it s speed—or even its necessity—when forced to use a toothpick-sized device to reply to an office memorandum (备忘录) while driving a car (not recommended or legal but, unfortunately, all too common). With the exception of “peeps,” though, all of the above examples are mostly used in written slang. Spoken slang is a whole o ther story. And it’s here that the younger generation truly has its say (pun intended). Today’s slang changes faster than yesterday’s password. That’s because words that were popular only a couple of years ago have lost favor—among t oday’s teens—for no reason at all. These include: “sweet”, “excellent”, and “awesome” (which all mean “good”). But, then, slang is short-lived by nature. In order for slang to be slangy, it has to have a feeling of perpetual newness. Slang is like fashion: never “in” for long. Americans eventually tire of even the most popular words, and by natural selection, only the strong survive.

P e t s There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals have an inferior position to human beings. In most instances, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States, and Europe, where pets are very popular, there are special shops that sell jewelry, clothing, and g o u r m e t(美味的) food for cats and dogs. There are shops on fashionable streets in New York City, for example, that sell gold and diamond collars, fur jackets, hats and mittens for pets. In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for supermarkets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in Nice, France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for 20 of them. On the menu, there are varieties of special gourmet dishes for dogs to choose from. There is a sausage dish, a turkey dish, and a pasta dish, among others. For dessert, there is a variety of French cheeses and, of course, dog biscuits. In the U.S., there is a very rich cat who can afford to go to any restaurant he chooses. His name is Kitty Cat.
