Unit 6 A World of Mystery

In-Class Reading The Bermuda Triangle

百慕大三角

1 1945年12月5日，佛罗里达州的劳德代尔堡，天气晴朗，由五架美国海军飞机组成的第19飞行分队从这里起飞。机上共有14名机组人员。飞机状况良好；机上装有当时最好的设备，包括罗盘和无线电设备，还携带有救生筏。飞机可以在水上漂浮90秒钟。飞机起飞一个半小时后，劳德代尔堡的指挥塔台听到了从其中一架飞机传来的无线电信息。

2 “我不知道我们现在所处的位置。”

3 之后飞机再也无法和指挥塔台通话，但是飞机之间可以通话，而且指挥塔台也能听到他们的通话。

4 “磁罗盘简直疯了。”

5 “我们完全迷失了方向。”

6 从这之后没有收到其他任何信息。再也没有其他任何人收到过这些飞机的消息或看到过它们。300架飞机和许多船只搜索了该地区，但没有找到第19飞行分队的任何踪迹。而且其中一架被派去搜寻的飞机也彻底失踪了。

7 这些飞机是在西大西洋上一个非常神秘的地方失踪的，在这里已经发生了许多奇怪的事件。这种神秘现象在1945年之前很久就已经出现了，而且自那一年以来，又有许多其他船只和飞机在这一地区失踪。这一地区被称为百慕大三角，是大西洋上一个巨大的三角形海域，其北端是百慕大岛。

8 飞机和船只在世界的其他地方也会失踪，但是百慕大三角内发生的失踪事件要比其他地区多。多年来科学家们和其他人士对这一神秘现象感到困惑不解。人们做了许多努力，试图解释为什么有这么多的人、飞机和船只在这里失踪。

9 作家约翰·斯宾塞认为，这些船只和飞机被来自另一行星上的飞碟或不明飞行物从海上和空中劫走了。他的看法是，既然宇宙里有数百万其他行星，那么在宇宙中的某些地方肯定存在其他有智慧的生物。这些生物喜欢收集人类及其设备，以便仔细观察研究。

10 另一种理论认为，该地区的地理状况是造成船只和飞机失踪的罪魁祸首。百慕大位于地震带。水下地震导致巨浪突然涌现。这些波浪如此巨大，足以将船只撕成碎片。在空中，由于突然出现的强风，飞机也会遭遇到类似的厄运。

11 和第19飞行分队一样，许多船只和飞机也曾报告说, 他们的磁罗盘在百慕大三角海域失灵。通常磁罗盘指向磁北极。但是在地球上有两个地方罗盘刚好指向真北，百慕大三角就是其中之一。因此，这一地区的磁性有些怪异。

12 许多人认为这些解释难以置信。而最新的一种理论具有科学根据，因而比较可信。百慕大海底甲烷的发现促使科学家麦克维尔博士思考如何解释这些神秘现象。（他认为）有时大量甲烷气体会从海底逸出，升入空中。这可能在海面产生巨浪从而使船只沉没。甲烷和空气混合还可能引起船上发动机停转或者起火。同样，甲烷与空气的混合物升入空中会引起飞机发动机停转或爆炸。而爆炸会把船只或飞机炸成极小的碎片。

13 这一最新理论仍有待证实，但它似乎给第19飞行分队以及所有其他的飞机、船只和人员为什么会在百幕大三角失踪提供了一种更好的解释。

After-Class Reading

地球之外有生命吗？

1 众所周知，地球具有生命所需要的一切条件，这也是我们在地球上得以生存的原因。但是40亿年之前，当地球形成的时候，出现生命的可能性有多大呢？据生物学家说，可能性非常小，就和你能连续五个星期获得全国彩票大奖的概率差不多。所以我们能够在地球上有今天是相当幸运的。

2 在其他地方产生生命的可能性有多大呢——比如，在我们自己的星系中？银河系约有四千亿个恒星。其中有一些（或许大多数）有行星围绕着它们运行，很可能其中有好几百万甚至几十亿个行星能够提供生命所需的条件。因此，看来确有可能在同一个星系中居住着其他生命。

3 而且如果你想到，银河系之外还有数不清的其他星系，其中有很多要比银河系大得多，那么，显而易见，在宇宙的其他地方肯定存在着其他形式的生命。

4 但他们也是智慧生命吗，是那种能够建造宇宙飞船来访问我们的生命吗？

5 在地球上曾经有几十亿个物种存在，但是结果只有一个物种有足够的智慧来发展技术并飞入太空。而且我们人类也不能算特别聪明：人类在学会怎样才能到达银河系的其他地方之前，很可能早已自我毁灭了。

6 不过让我们假设在我们的银河系中有高级文明，他们已经开发了高速的飞碟。他们会来造访地球吗？

7 首先我们要问：他们为什么想要造访地球？最可能的答案是他们所拥有的太阳行将灭亡，他们必须找到其他居住的地方。

8 下一个问题是：为什么选择地球？下图显示了银河系中适合于生命居住的区域，这一区域可能聚集了绝大多数可居住的行星。阴影部分是最古老的行星（因而也是最有可能具有高级生命的行星）。我们（地球）靠近边缘（X所表示的位置）。

9 如果我是寻找新家园的外星人，我想我会先尝试邻近的几百万个行星，然后才会不辞劳苦飞行十亿亿英里来造访地球，因为这一旅程至少需要花上20万光年。

10 然而，那些每年报道的所有目击UFO事件又是怎么回事呢？其实，它们多数是飞机。至于其余的情况，不论它们是什么，肯定不是飞碟。假如你是拥有超凡技术的星外来客，你会怎么做：是悄悄躲起来，还是登陆并占领地球？我知道我的答案是什么。

11 假如宇宙中地球之外真有其他形式的生命存在（我敢肯定有），那么，它们目前所在的确切位置便是——地球之外。

Part One Preparation

1 Mysterious Circles

Sample

? I guess these crop circles were man-made. Some teenagers may have made them as a joke, or some farmers may have made them to attract tourists, because a lot of people would go there to look at the so-called mysterious crop circles. Tourism will bring them lots of income.

? Intelligent a liens from outer space may have made the circles. I believe there must be other life forms in outer space. These creatures have been trying to communicate with us from far

away and the crop circles might be messages from them. Or the creatures may have actually landed on the fields and the circles were marks left by their spaceship. Anyway, it is hard to believe that any natural force could have created a perfect circle in a grain field.

? The magnetic properties of the area might be responsible for the mys terious appearance of the crop circles. Wind and rain may also result in such strange and interesting patterns in the fields. I hope with the rapid development of science and technology, human beings may, one day, be able to come up with a rational explanation for crop circles.

? I read an article in the newspaper Can Kao Xiao Xi about crop circles. According to Richard Taylor, director of the Materials Science Institute at the University of Oregon, USA, laser, micro waves and GPS (global positioning systems) all play a role in creating crop circles, the result of physics. But the article I read didn’t give any details about how these factors work together in producing crop circles.

2 Life in Outer Space?

Sample

? Look at this picture and you can see what an alien from outer space would look like. You may wonder why he looks like a dumpling. Now let me tell you the story. Well, one day during the Chinese Spring Festival, an intelligent creature from outer space landed on the Earth and he was very surprised to see that many people were eating dumplings. The dumplings not only looked good but smelled good as well. He was invited to try one and thought it tasted delicious. In order to remember this happy experience on Earth he decided to change himself into a d umpling. Therefore, we gave him a nickname “Dumpling Superman”.

As you can see, on the front of his body there is a pocket called the Doraemon’s pocket (机器猫的口袋). This is a pocket with which he asked his relatives for pocket money. Looking at his long hands and the special pose you will be reminded of Astroboy (阿童木) in the Japanese cartoon, who can speak more than 60 different languages and is always fighting against evils.

There is a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. What’s more, the red light on his belly w ill shine when the air around him is polluted. Do you like our Dumpling Superman?

? This is my interpretation of a friend from outer space. He is handsome and also unique in many ways. On his head is a shining energy ball, showing people how energetic he is. Below his forehead lies a pair of attractive and multi-functional eyes. He can not only see things clearly at night, but has a tremendously far vision as well. In addition, he is also capable of seeing things behind obstacles. Then there are the two lovely ears with microphones in each of them. Apart from these, our alien being has a highly useful mouth. Besides the basic functions of a mouth we humans have, it can launch missiles when encountering hazards. What is more, when he is not able to defeat the enemy, the alien will turn into a ball as a last resort. The most unparalleled feature of the lovely alien is that he owns a “love” heart which will light up when he meets his Miss Right. Now he is saying HELLO to you. Do you have anything to say to him?

? Please look at the picture. This alien being from outer space is called D. Luffe. He comes from Stratum. We can see Luffe has three heads and the facial expressions on his three faces are different. His faces change as his mood changes. When he feels happy, he will smile and

the flowers on his heads will bloom. When he feels sad, the flowers will wither away. His body is like a worm, which is soft and flexible. He can stretch out and draw back his body at will, which makes him an excellent dancer. The most interesting part of his body is the lower part that looks like a crab with many feet. These feet are strong so that he can walk quickly and steadily. His hands are strong and fierce, with which he can fight against any enemy and protect himself. What’s more, his hands are also convenient for him to grab food so that he can have a great meal whenever he wants to.

3 Mystery of the 23rd Floor

Mr. Gadsby was a very short man. He could not reach the button for Floor 23 since it was at the top of the panel. He could only reach the buttons for Floor 1, Floor 2 and Floor 3. Since he was too shy to ask for help, on sunny days he would take the elevator to Floor 3 and then climb the stairs to Floor 23. But on rainy days, he had an umbrella with him, so he could reach the button for Floor 23 with his umbrella.

The passage is well organized and clearly presented. It starts with a detailed description of the accident: When it happened, what the team consisted of, weather conditions of the day, communication between the team and the control tower, and the follow-up search. Then the passage gives a brief introduction of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle. In the third part, the passage lists a few explanations about how these accidents might have happened, from UFOs from another planet to a kind of gas escaping from the seafloor. Finally, the passage tells us what the writer thinks about those explanations.

2 1 Flying saucers or UFOs from another planet.

2 Underwater earthquakes / Geography of the area.

1 ? I don’t find any of the four explanations convincing. Human errors might be responsible for

the disappearances. If pilots or sailors are not fully aware of the area’s haz ards or are not

experienced enough, this could lead to disasters. Take the disappearance of Flight 19 for example. It’s reported that all of the crewmen on the five planes were inexperienced trainees, with the exception of their commander. But the commander might not have been at his best that day and might have made some mistakes. Maybe the planes got lost and crashed when their fuel was exhausted.

? I think underwater earthquakes could be responsible for the disasters, at least for many of them if not all of them. As the text indicates, Bermuda lies on an earthquake belt and we know earthquakes happen frequently in these areas. For example, in recent years, there have been some serious earthquakes in Haiti, Chile, Wenchuan and Northeast Japan. All of them resulted in huge damages and claimed large numbers of human lives. If land earthquakes are disastrous, underwater earthquakes can also lead to serious results.

2 People are interested in mysteries for several reasons. First, curiosity is human nature.

People are always curious about things unknown to them or phenomena that cannot be explained. Second, some people find their life boring, so they want to have something new and exciting to talk about. Finally, people are worried about problems on Earth and are suspicious of new technologies. Perhaps this leads them to explore the unknown world for possible solutions to the problems on Earth.

3 Nothing Left to Explore?

Sample

? I agree with the point of view. There’s little left for us to explore in the 21st century. We have uncovered most of the planet’s secrets. We’ve explored the Arctic and Antarc tica, conquered the highest mountains, traveled across the largest deserts, and exploited deep sea oil.

We’ve launched satellites and spaceships to explore both the Earth and our galaxy. Men reached the moon a long time ago and spacecraft have reached Mars or are still on the way there. All these show that men have done enough exploration on Earth and in the neighborhood.

? I don’t agree with the point of view. Although great progress has been made in our understanding of the world in the past centuries, there are still mysteries for us to solve in the 21st century. For instance, so far little has been known about deep sea creatures. Much needs to be done before we can find a cure to such epidemics as AIDS, SARS and other diseases that have claimed thousands and thousands of human lives. Even our brain has not fully been understood, let alone the boundless realm of the universe.

4 Other Mysteries That You Know Of

Sample

In the Tarim Basin in China, some mummies were unearthed. They were not Chinese. They were not even Asian. Evidence shows that these people lived in the Tarim Basin 4,000 years ago and thrived there for at least 1,500 years but then they disappeared. So who were they?

What language did they speak? Where did they come from? Why did they disappear? These questions have puzzled scientists and scholars. Some believe these people probably migrated to Asia from southern Russia, and some say they may have come from Iran or Turkey. These mummies remain a mystery to us.

5 An Encounter

Sample

E = E.T. H = human being

(E is visiting H at his home.)

E: How do you do?

H: How…how do you do?

E: Well, don’t be afraid. I’m from Mars and I’ve come here to see you.

H: Oh, my gosh! Anyway, it’s nice that you speak the same language as ours.

E: I’ve picked up your language over the years.

H: So, what are you interested in about us?

E: Well, a lot of things, such as your planet, your culture, and especially, the way you treat your planet.

H: What do you think of the Earth, then?

E: Very beautiful, I should say. Much more beautiful than Mars. But you humans have done too much harm to it.

H: For example?

E: You’ve made a lot of pollution in the air, water, soil, etc. What’s more, you’re killing other creatures mercilessly.

H: Yes, that’s really a problem. What, in your opinion, is the future of us humans?

E: To be frank, I’m not so optimistic about it. In fact, if things go on like this, the Earth will be destroyed sooner or later.

H: That sounds terrible. I hope we’ll do something to stop the mistakes and will have a b etter future.

The Sphinx in Egypt is one of the greatest mysteries in history. It has the face of a man, and the body of a lion, and it faces east. It was carved out of a single piece of stone weighing hundreds of tons. Who built it and for what purpose? When and how was it built? It has long been argued that the Egyptians couldn’t have built the Sphinx. An advanced civilization 8,000 to 10,000 B.C. may have built it. Whatever the origin of the Sphinx, it has been a symbol of strength and intelligence of Egyptian culture.

The Bermuda Triangle is an area in the western Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico. In the past 100 years over 70 ships and planes have disappeared mysteriously in this area. The most famous disappearance was the loss of Flight 19. Five U.S.

Navy planes and 14 men on the planes disappeared without a trace. A search plane was sent

and it also disappeared completely. Many theories have been offered to explain the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. Some people believe that the ships and planes were taken away by creatures from another planet. Another theory is that the strange magnetic properties of the area result in the disappearances. The latest theory is that the escape of large amounts of methane gas from the seafloor of the Bermuda Triangle is responsible for the disappearances in that area. But all these theories have yet to be proved.

The Mary Celeste was a large ship that set sail from New York for Genoa on November 7, 1872. She was found abandoned at sea on December 14, 1872. The crew disappeared without a trace, leaving no indication as to why they left the ship. Everything else on the ship was completely normal. A meal was being cooked on the stove and toys for the daughter of the captain were found on her bed. This disappearance of the crew from an undamaged ship remains one of the most famous sea mysteries. There are many theories as to why the crew abandoned the ship. Some relate the disappearance to the Bermuda Triangle, although the ship was not found near that area. Others say the crew were killed by pirates, although there were no signs of a fight.

Do UFOs really exist? Many people claim to have seen UFOs in real life. The first reported UFO sighting in America was made by an airplane pilot in 1947. Some people have even taken pictures of UFOs. But do UFOs really exist? Many of the UFOs sighted have been found to be planes, weather balloons or shooting stars. Others may be explained by optical illusions or people’s psychological desire to interpret the images as UFOs. However, a recent public opinion poll shows that many people think that UFOs do exist, in spite of the lack of evidence.

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

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

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然，如果不立即采取行动，她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴，想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧，因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时，一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭，她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后，又立即作了回答。护士一边说，一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头，她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿，小男孩不再哭了，他睁开眼睛，用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头，小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血，小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命，没有比这更伟大的爱了。

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.
