1,A sense of wonder that lasts all their lives.

2,Their feeling that they know too little about nature.

3,Because only once the emotions have been aroused, do we then wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response. Then once found, such knowledge has far more lasting meaning than mere information.

4,They can still look up at the sky, listen to the wind, feel the rain on their face and contemplate the perfume and flavour of a fruit. City-dwellers can find a park or a golf course where they can observe the migrations of birds and the changing seasons, or plant a seed in a pot in the kitchen window.

5,She means paying more attention to the sensations and information we get from our senses. She suggests that we ask ourselves: "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?"

6,She answers the second question first: "Is the exploration of the natural world just a pleasant way to pass the golden hours of childhood or is there something deeper?"She is "sure there is something much deeper, something lasting and significant." The value she sees in it is inner peace, strength and satisfaction, as outlined in paragraph 7.

7,She is referring to the repeating cycles of nature, and to emotional/spiritual healing. As an example of a person who never lost his sense of wonder, no matter how old he became.

8,When he realized he was going to die soon. His statement shows that his sense of wonder extended even to death itself.

Please make sure the students understand that this exercise is an opportunity for them to practice their English as they feel is appropriate and useful for them.

我真诚地相信，对于孩子们来说，对于想要指导他们的父母们来说，感受比知道要重要得多。如果事实是以后能长出知识与智慧的种子，那么情感和感官印象则是种子必须赖以生长的沃土。幼儿时期就是培育土壤的时候。一旦情感被激起——一种对美的感受，对新的和未知事物的激动，一种同情、怜悯、敬慕或爱恋的感觉——我们就会渴望了解引起我们情感反应的事物。一旦找到，这种知识就比纯粹的信息具有持久得多的意义。为孩子们的求知欲铺平道路比向他们灌输一堆他们不准备吸收的事实更为重要。

6.His misfortune aroused great sympathy among the listeners, who are keen to help heal his mental wounds.

7.Recognition of the importance of Dr. Hawkin's research may be difficult or impossible for a layman, but it is sure to have a lasting impact on our lives.

我希望于所有学生的是从未来的严酷无情中得到一些解脱。我希望他们有机会把他们每一阶段的教育纯粹作为一种经历来享受，而不是作为一种为下一步作准备的令人厌倦的需要。我希望他们有权利试验、跌跤，并懂得失败如同胜利一样具有教育意义，而不是世界的末日。当然，我的希望是天真的。在美国人没有声明而拥有的为数不多的权利之中，有一个便是失败的权利。成就是民族之神，它在我们的媒体中受到崇拜——身价百万的运动员，富有的主管人员——它在我们对财富的赞扬中得到荣耀。年轻人就是在这样一种强有力的国教的熏

对一个外国人来说，身在美国可能是一次奇特的经历。在国外7年以后—4年在法国，3年在波兰，我和妻子于一月份到达美国。从杂乱的初步印象中，我们编了一套从A到Z的解释，来说明为什么对那些从欧洲到这里的人来说，美国会是这样陌生的一个国家。我应该一开始就说明我是一个英国人，但在佛罗里达出生的我的妻子莉萨却是个如苹果馅饼般地道的美国人。不过，在我们列出的

清单中，A并不代表苹果馅饼。它代表的是：雄心（Ambition）。在旧大陆中，人们受的教育是要掩饰它。在这儿，宣称你在追求老板的职位或者想在30岁以前赚上100万美元，并没有什么不合适。

Some Differences between Families in China and America

There are some very striking differences between families in China and America.One difference is that Chinese children always take care of their old parents. If they don't take care of them, friends and colleagues will gossip about them. Chinese society condemns this kind of behavior, and sometimes newspapers even write about children who neglect their old parents. But in the United States, adult children often put their parents in nursing homes, and this is seen as an acceptable (if not entirely desirable) thing to do.Another difference is that Chinese parents sacrifice everything for their children, and they are very stern with them. Parents put a lot of pressure on their children to study hard. They think that studying will make the children successful. In fact, many teenagers study long hours a day and are not allowed to date. But in the United States, parents think their own lives are as important as their children's lives. They have more freedom, and they give their children more freedom too. Parents let their children stay alone or relax after school, and they think it's natural for their teenagers to date. (189 words)

1. The repetitions are “Every 23 minutes.”

2. There is a matching relationship among Paragraphs 24 to 26, Paragraphs 27 to 29 and Paragraphs 30 to 32. The matching relationship emphasizes the emotional effects of accidental deaths on survivors. A void opens, a heart breaks and a dreams ends. It seems there is no love, no escape and no future. Everything fades into nothingness.

Restrict Smoking in Public Places?

Should we allow smoking in public places? Some people are against restricting smoking in public places. They argue that restricting smoking would set up two classes of citizens —smokers and nonsmokers —and would be very confrontational. Such restrictions give nonsmokers virtual dictatorial power to determine where smoking may not be permitted. Moreover, they argue that people working in the same office can't be segregated because they have to communicate with each other.I would argue, on the other hand, that people can't ignore the dangerous effects of second-hand smoke. According to available statistics, about 5,000 Americans die each year because of second-hand smoke. Smoking is slow-motion suicide and second-hand smoke is slow-motion murder.

Therefore, smoking should be banned in schools, hospitals, sports arenas, convention halls, theatres or other public places where people have to stay or wait. Businesses that permit smoking at work can provide a room or segregate smokers in one part of a room with proper ventilation. What is more, employees will save money by reducing illness and absenteeism if smoking is restricted in public places.

See You in Court

As usual, there are many possibilities, all of which are fine. But accuse and sue may be the most obvious, since they’re not nouns referring to people (although Sue would be, if it were capitalized!).Please note that some of the words have been learned before in our series: attorney (3-5a, Ex.), criminal (3-5A), convict (3-6B), witness (2-8A), solicitor (3-5a, Ex.) and suspect (2-5B). Here are the new words learned in this exercise:

1.She enjoys these hobbies, and is competent enough in other areas.

2.They used to be a mark of class, of leisure, and it was enough to be somewhat familiar with them. Now we're expected to be experts even in our hobbies.

3.She's illustrating an attitude that dominates leisure sports and intimidates many people into avoiding them.

4.It makes them uncharitable in their thinking, too competitive to enjoy their hobbies, and causes them too much stress. The examples she gives are the boy who didn't want a less-than-great player on his soccer team, and a girl who has "no free time" because school and her hobbies eat up all her time.

5.That this over-ambitious attitude toward hobbies intimidates many people into avoiding them.

6.She suspects that this degree of ambition and compulsion in what are supposed to be leisure activities is unhealthy.

7.She recommends that we should all take up a leisure activity and make a point

of never mastering it. She hopes this will remind us how to relax and enjoy our leisure time.

A. Dressing Up!

Note that the students learned "gym shoes" in 3-7A.

There are countless possibilities for the question of who wears what. Anything's okay, as long as it shows comprehension. But:

Band 4:blouse (女衬衫): most females

crown (王冠): monarchs

gym shoes (体操鞋, 球鞋): athletes? most young people?

mask (面具): criminals? skiers? knights?

pants (裤子): most people, especially if you mean UK pants!

Band 6:armour (盔甲): knights

cape (斗篷，披肩): Batman? Superman?

helmet (头盔): soldiers? motorcyclists?

veil (面纱): brides? belly dancers?

hose (长统袜，短统袜): most people (it can refer to ordinary socks, not just pantihose)

B. Exercise Time! Note that "leap" (3-5A), "squeeze" (3-7A) and "stumble" (3-7A) are not new to the students.Students should demonstrate the verbs without hurting themselves. It's fun —and a great aid to retention —for the teacher to command in random order and with rapid speed, or for a student or two to stand up and give the orders to their classmates.

Band 4:Lick (舔) your lips, then blow your nose (擤鼻子).

Shiver (战栗).

Twist around (转身).

Leap up (跳跃).

Squeeze (挤压) someone's hand.

Bump (碰，撞) into somebody, then flee (逃掉)!

Band 6:Stumble towards (蹒跚地走) somebody and tickle (搔痒) him/her!

Slump over (重重地倒下).

Quiver (颤抖).

Whirl around (旋转).

C. And as long as we're acting silly: Make these noises too!

Band 4:Bang (猛击) on your desk, click (发出咔哒声) your teeth, then bark (叫)! Band 6:Buzz (发出嗡嗡声), giggle (咯咯笑), hum (哼曲子发嗡嗡声), then groan (呻吟) ...

New Band 4 words from this exercise:

遗憾的是，“三脚猫”已经过时了。过去如果一位女士或先生会唱一点，画一点，拉一点小提琴，那就是一种地位的标志。你不必很出色；问题是你很幸运，拥有这一份闲情逸致。但是在今天充满竞争的世界里我们甚至在业余爱好方面也必须是“专家”才行。

1.As long as you enjoy your hobby, you don't have to feel ashamed of being mediocre at it. It doesn't matter what others think of you.

2.Money is becoming a big deal in competitive sports, but we must make sure that it doesn't get in the way of what's important.

3.We all need some form of exercise every now and then to keep ourselves in good shape.

4.I've said over and over it's time you tidied up your room, but you keep putting it off.

5.He only took up painting a couple of years ago, so his technique isn't up to professional standards. Can you give him some instruction?

6.Health experts are trying to discourage people from smoking by informing them of its dangers.

7.Being committed to your job is fine, of course, but you shouldn't let work eat up all your leisure time.

8.As far as I'm concerned, both jobs and hobbies should be seriously considered. XIV

Paragraph 6: People can't enjoy dancing as entertainment. "Going dancing" doesn't anymore mean putting on a pretty dress and doing a few turns around the dance floor. Instead it means squeezing into tights and leg warmers, then sweating through six hours of warm-ups, five hours of ballet and four hours of jazz every week.Paragraph 9: People do not take up new hobbies since they don't have the time to perfect them. A woman does not want to learn a foreign language because she can't become fluent in the language within one year. Low level accomplishment only embarrasses her.

Paragraph 12 echoes Paragraphs 1 and 2, for both deal with the author's life experiences of doing hobbies just for the sake of entertainment or physical development. The author strongly believes that people should enjoy their "creative fooling around" and that they don't have to be "experts" in everything so long as they are good at one or two other things.

A Small Act of Kindness

Once I was traveling in a small poverty-stricken town in South Africa. On a bus a woman gave a package of biscuits to a poor and hungry child she didn't know. This small act of kindness cost her little but it brought great joy to the child and some comfort to the grandfather who carried the child on his back. The effect of that act might have stopped there but it didn't. Other people on the bus saw and felt drawn to the child and his silent guardian. They opened their hearts and became interested in the plight of these two. Many people on the bus offered whatever they had to help them. There is no telling what kindness to others this remembrance will lead to. I shared the story with my teachers and
