众多事实证实这一说法：要想让自己很快从低落的（negative）情绪中解脱出来，你得让自己哭。你不必为“哭”而感到羞愧。忧虑和悲伤能随同眼泪一起流出身体。

Nancy Hopkins is a biology professor in MIT. She craves knowledge and works hard. However, as a scientist, she cannot help noticing the indications of gender inequality on campus. Men and women professors did the same work, but when it comes to promotion the administrators were rather selective. It
is ironic that after so much cultural progress, women are still at a disadvantage in institutions of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she realized that she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.

虽然英语是如何产生的对许多人来说还是个谜，语言学家认为它和很多欧洲语言来自同一个源头，即印欧母语。英语最初是在公元五世纪入侵英格兰的央格鲁·撒克逊人使用的。他们将英语的基本词汇传给了我们。在十五个多世纪的发展中，英语通过大量的借用丰富了自己。随着英国移民登陆美洲并建立了独立的美利坚合众国，英语又增添了一个新的变种：美语。虽然有人担忧英语的发展失控了，但大多数以英语为母语的人对他们语言的宽容性感到自豪。
Though how the English language came into being is still a mystery to many people.Linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants settled in America .English found itself with a new source –AmericanEnglish , many native speakers of English are proud of the tolerance of their language.

这个村庄曾因其优美的自然环境而闻名于世，这里终年树木常青，鲜花盛开。清澈的溪水从山间流出，穿过棋盘般的水稻田。鸟儿整天在歌唱，鹿悠闲地来来往往。然而，在使用滴滴涕和其他杀虫剂后，这个村

This village was ever famous for its beautiful natural surroundings. All the year around, the trees are green and the flowers are in bloom. Clear streams flowed out of the hills and ran through a checkerboard of rice fields. Birds sang songsall day, and deer came and wentleisurely. However, with the useof DDT and other pesticide, the village seemed to be in an evil spell .Misfortunes came one after another.

The village square, used to be throbbing with life, nowwas deserted.

Runners have great respect for each other because they know how difficult the sport can be. If you go to a race, you’ll see peopl e cheering for all the runners. Running isn’t always about how fast you are running or how far you’re going. It’s about getting out there and d oing it.

For hot temperatures but lots of rain and thunderstorms, try Miami, Florida. If you want average temperatures and rainfall, St. Louis, Missouri, is the spot, or if you ? re a cold weather fan, head to Fairbanks, Alaska? Its winters are very cold with little precipitation（冰雹）?Each of these cities has a certain type of weather. The average weather for a place over many years is called climate, and in no two places in the world is it exactly the same? How can this be? Many things in nature, such as sunshine, temperature, and precipitation, affect climate. Nearness to mountain, oceans, and large lakes affects it too. Another factor is altitude, or height above sea leve 1. Air cools as altitude increases? So a city at a higher altitude may be colder than one at a lower altitude? Finally winds affect climate. They move heat and moisture between the oceans and continents? Winds keep the tropics（热带地区）from overheating. They keep the polar （极地的）regions from getting overly cold. Climate changes over long periods of time? Some scientists think, for example, that the earth s climate changed at the time of the dinosaurs? They think the dinosaurs died because of the change. What causes a climate to change? One possible cause may be changes in the sun. Sunspots, for example, are cool, dark spots that form on the sun. Sunspots may decrease precipitation on the earth and cause unusually dry periods. Changes in the atmosphere may change climate too. Volcanic
