5、nd we all hugged. My Dad pretended that he had known we were under the table all along.當我思考在這個世界上,那些真正對我有意義的人,我想到了我的父母. 他們是生活在平凡世界中的真圣人我的父母收養了十個孩子，我是其中之一。他們將我們帶離了貧窮的孤獨，他們艱難的克制著不再帶孩子回家照顧，如果他們還有能力，他們現在遠不止收養這么幾個孩子。 大多數人在自己感激的人離開這個世界之后才意識到自己是多么的感激他，我的兄弟姐妹和我都不希望這種情況發生在我們身上，都不希望父母聽不到我們說“謝謝你”。雖然我們現在已成人并散居全

Even when you can't feel it, you may still have a problem.經常鍛煉的女性需要對她們的

11、日常飲食小心。研究人員已經發現有證據表明即使適度的運動也會導致鐵的流失。他們表示那些經常鍛煉的女性，尤其是鍛煉耐力的運動，是鐵質丟失的典型代表。為了防止這種現象演變成的問題, 對于這些女性來講，食用更多的肉類或者補充那些流失的鐵質是非常重要的。而那些不屑于補充大量鐵質的女性可能就會開始感覺虛弱疲勞。一個營養專家稱：“如果你在日常飲食中攝取足夠日膳食營養素推薦標準量的鐵質，你講可能表現得更好”。“但是服用補鐵含片的缺點就是藥片可能不會被很好的吸收，更甚至有事會讓你感覺虛弱。最好是通過在飲食中食用含鐵豐富的肉質來彌補不足。這里有一些方法可以幫助你的身體儲存需要消耗的鐵質，通過補充大量的維生素C可以

The national government demands academic success and tests are taken

13、 as a key measurement for a schools performance. Schools with low test scores face penalties(處罰) such as a reduction in money to run their schools.

Unfortunately, there is never time.” One school principal remarked, “Its true that it would be beneficial to

15、 our kids if they were getting better scores on the subjects being tested. The trouble is that in poorer areas of the city like ours, kids start school less equipped to perform well. We have many obstacles to overcome before we can teach them basic subjects. All schools are not alike, so they should

16、t be tested that way.” “The goal is to improve performance in schools that are not providing their students with tools for success,” said one government official. He admits, however, that he is having a hard time convincing faculty and teachers this plan will work。當許多私立學校更多地關注價值的時候,公立學校卻在向考試標準靠近。國民政

17、府要求學業成就并把考試作為衡量學生在學校表現好壞的關鍵指標。學校考試成績低就面臨例如縮減學校開支等懲罰。甚至根據這些學生的考試情況，對應教他們的老師也會因此被劃分為不同的等級。“我們已經將過多的精力放在教孩子們如何應對這些考試:“一個小學教師談論到,"我們應該為孩子們提供讓他們更容易理解把握的課程。我們應該培養她們的領導才能和好奇心。不幸的是，我們沒有時間來做這些。一個學校校長說:“毫無疑問，我們的孩子們能從這些考試中獲益，前提是她們在考試中能有個好成績。但問題是像我們處于城市貧困邊遠地區的學校，孩子們從開始上學就被要求配備少而又要表現好。 在教她們基礎課程之前我們就面臨大量的困難需

With regard to fashion, the Barbie doll has been consistently in style. From the first Barbie dolls, Mattel took care to dress them in deta

19、iled, fashionable clothes. Some observers note that the fashions of the Barbie doll trace fashion trends perfectly since 1959. While critics complain that the models do not represent “average” female bodies, they also complain about the Barbie dolls size. Some have criticized the dimensions of the B

Charlotte Johnson, the Barbie dolls first dress designer, explained that the doll was not intended to reflect a female figure realistically, but rather to portray an exaggerated shape underneath fashionable clothes. However, the unrealistic di

21、mensions of the doll have brought the strongest criticism regarding the dolls encouragement of an obsession with weight and looks.

Throughout the years, the Barbie doll has had several competitors, but none have been able to compete with the glamor offered by the Barbie doll.對許多人來說,美麗和時尚是永久地聯系在一起的。關于時尚,芭比娃娃一直走在流行前端。從第一個芭比娃娃開始,美泰公司就很仔細的為她們穿上精致,流行的服飾. 一些觀察家指出芭比娃娃完美地流行趨勢是從1959年開始的。與此同時，批評人士也指出（抱怨）這些芭

23、比模特不代表“普通”女性的身材，抱怨芭比娃娃的大小。也有人批評（挑剔）芭比娃娃的身材尺寸是平凡女性無法企及的形體。夏洛特·約翰遜芭比娃娃的第一個服裝設計師,解釋說設計芭比的目的不是為了要真實地反映女性形象，而是為了描述夸張形象下的時髦服裝。然而，芭比不切實際的身材尺寸帶來了強烈的批評聲，因為它對執著于體重和外表予以鼓勵。由于認為芭比娃娃對小孩有負面影響,在1991年，High Self Esteem Toys公司的Cathy Meredig設計出（開發）了一種更符合實際比例的玩具。但是，她的玩具卻銷路不佳。盡管這些年來，芭比娃娃已經有了好幾個競爭者的,但是沒有任何一個競爭者能與芭比娃

A doctor told me that a very old woman he was treating was lying motionless on her pillow face down. He thought she was dead,

25、 but when he approached, he noticed she was breathing. Her hospital gown exposed her back bare, so he put a cover over her. Just then she sat up slowly, startling the doctor.

26、less.” “Never mind that, doctor, Ive been waiting for you,” the old woman said quite confidently as if she were his mother. She had been a good mother to four, but she had survived them all. She gracefully handed the doctor a jar of strawberry jam. “Take the lid off and try some,” she said. He sampl

27、ed a little and told her it was delicious. “Good,” she said, handing him a piece of paper with writing. “This is how to make it.” He understood what a (n) privilege she had given him and took it with thanks and then left. The old woman lay back down and died soon after his departure.作為一個外科醫生，我看到很多人死

28、亡。我很少對一些東西感到驚訝。然而，前幾天，一個幽默又稍有古怪的故事卻深深的打動了我。一個醫生告訴我他為一個很老的女人看病，她一動不動地躺著，臉埋在枕頭里，他本以為她已經死了，但當他走近時，他注意到她有呼吸。她的病服（病人住院穿的袍子）是敞開的，露出她的背，于是他把蓋在她。就在這時，她慢慢地坐了起來，醫生被怔住了。她看起來活得很好。“我還以為你已經死了，”醫生說。“你的呼吸幾乎沒有，所以看起來像死了一樣。”“沒關系，醫生，我一直在等你，”老婦人說相當自信，就好像她是醫生的母親一樣。她曾經是四個孩子的好媽媽，但是她比孩子們都活得長（比某人長壽）。她優雅的遞給醫生一罐草莓醬。“打開蓋子嘗嘗，”她說

29、到。醫生嘗了一點兒并告訴她很美味。“很好，”她說，遞給他一張寫著字的紙條。“這是做草莓醬的方法。”他明白這是老人給他的特別恩典，于是非常感謝的收下并離開了。這個老人躺回了差un工商的特權，她給了他，帶著感謝，然后離開。離開后不久，老婦人就躺下去世了。第六單元Do you know February 2nd is Groundhog's Day (土撥鼠日)? Legend has it that on this morning, if a groundhog can see its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If i

30、t cannot see its shadow, spring is on the way. Some believe that the means of forecast is rather arbitrary and is often incorrect. Others argue that it is significant because it recognizes that the different parts of nature are connected in some way. Each part is dependent on the rest of the parts f

31、or a healthy system. Some farmers pay close attention to the behavior of ducks and geese when predicting the weather. It is sensible to guess an early winter is coming when you see ducks and geese moving south in October. Many dog owners can tell when winter or spring will come by stroking their pet

32、. In preparation for winter, a dog's hair becomes thicker. Dogs lose hair as spring sets in.Information gathered from nature can help people to take precautions against a hard winter or bad storm. Some animals are even believed to be able to detect when an earthquake will occur. People holding t

34、方法是重要的，因為它認識到自然的不同是以某種方式連接在一起。每個部分都是依賴于其他的配件從而構成一個完整的(健康的)系統。一些農民通過關注鵝和鴨的行為來預測天氣。如果你看到鴨和鵝在十月時就向南方遷移，那就可以得出合理的猜測，冬天即將來臨。許多家里養狗的人通過輕輕拍打(撫摸)他們的寵物也能預測冬天或者春天即將來臨。為了做好過冬的準備，狗毛會變厚，同理，如果狗開始掉毛，說明春天要來了。從大自然收集信息可以幫助人們預防嚴冬或暴風。一些動物甚至被認為能夠檢測地震的發生。人們持有一種觀點認為電腦收集的信息通常是正確的但是從自然界得來的信息會更加準確：難道現在還不是我們應該關注我們周圍事物的時候嗎？第七單

35、元Bill Gates is known around the world for the founding of Microsoft. And, most people are quite aware that his evolution from computer hacker to the world's richest man was due in large part to his partner Paul Allen. But, while Gates' fame has mushroomed since the beginning of Microsoft, Al

36、len has remained less famous. Many around the world have followed the life of Gates, but are ignorant of what has happened to Allen. In fact, as most in the Northwest can tell you, Allen has made quite a (n) impact on the region and the world. In 2000, he retired from Microsoft, but the company reta

37、ins him as a permanent advisor to top executives. Not all of Allen's interests involve commercial success. Allen has given four hundred million dollars in charity to the University of Washington for science and technology research. He created the Experience Music Project in Seattle, employing fa

38、mous architect Frank Gehry to design the building. This is not his only contribution to the arts. Allen is very involved with modernizing Hollywood's movie technology. His film studio is the most advanced in the world. He has also built a sports empire, buying both a basketball and a football te

39、am as well as helping to support a local stadium, and he owns a sports magazine. Oh, and let's not forget, Allen is the seventh richest man in the entire world. Not bad.比爾蓋茨因為創辦微軟而世界聞名。而且，大多數人都很清楚，他從電腦黑客轉變成(演變，進化)世界首富這個過程中，很大程度上是由于他的合伙人保羅艾倫。但是，自微軟創建，在蓋茨的名氣迅速上升以來，艾倫仍然不太出名。世界各地的人們都在跟隨蓋茨的腳步，但都忽視了艾倫

40、身邊發生的事。事實上，正如大多數西北的人們可以告訴你，艾倫為這個地區甚至整個世界都有很大的影響力。在2000，他從微軟退休，但該公司保留了他作為永久性的顧問公司高管的職位。艾倫不是所有的資產都用于創造商業成功，他出資四億美元給慈善機構，用于在華盛頓大學科技研究。他在西雅圖創辦了音樂體驗項目，聘請著名的建筑師蓋里設計的建筑。這不是他的唯一為藝術所做的貢獻。艾倫還參與好萊塢現代化技術電影制作。 他的電影工作室是世界上最先進的。他還建立了一個體育帝國，買一個籃球和一個足球隊以及幫助支持當地的體育館，他擁有一家體育雜志社。哦，別忘了，艾倫是在整個世界上第七富有的人。不錯。第八單元You have pr

42、heep.Now that Dolly has successfully been cloned, there are many scientists observing her every movement. Their hope is that they never detect anything remarkable with Dolly. One of the scientists humorously remarked, "It's quite a(n) boring job always sitting around hoping nothing will act

43、ually happen." But that's what they have essentially done. They hope that any differences between Dolly and the sheep she was copied from are so minor that they go unnoticed."We don't want Dolly to live longer or jump higher. Some say that we are deliberately trying to create anima

44、ls with remarkable qualities. This is not true. We simply are showing that we can make a (n) identical copy of the original safely and that the sheep is normal."Despite the protests of the scientists working on the project, the debate over whether cloning is safe goes on. The US congress organi

45、zed a national commission to study the legal and moral implications of cloning. Many would like to abolish all research on cloning. And while everyone argues, the scientists are simply continuing to watch Dolly.你可能聽說過的多利。她是世界上第一只克隆羊并且相當有名。僅通過它的外表你永遠不會知道她是一個如此出名的動物。盡管她和這里其他的羊一樣，外表都很尋常。一位照看這只名羊的科學家說道。

46、Tend to sb 照看某人現如今，多利已經被成功的克隆，有許多科學家都在觀察她的一舉一動。他們的希望是不在多利身上發現任何異常的地方。一個科學家幽默地說，“這是一個相當無聊的工作，總是坐在那里希望什么都不會發生。”但這是他們應該做的最基本的工作。他們希望多利和那些用于克隆多利的羊之間的任何一點差異能小到他們發現不了。“我們沒有希望多莉有多長壽或跳得多高。有人說我們故意創造卓越品質的動物。這種說法是不準確的。我們只是單純的展現我們可以安全地復制一個完全相同的羊，而同時它和其他的羊一樣正常。盡管有人反對科學家的這項工程，關于克隆是否安全的爭議也在與日俱增。美國國會組織了一個國家委員會來研究克隆

48、 problems she's had with her husband. The disputes ranged from him not sharing responsibility for household tasks to how often he went out at night.And every time, Anna complained, her husband would find justification for what he did. "If I were you," she advised, "I'd get eve

50、hat I had to say with laughter. "You can't believe him just because what he said. Once you marry him, he'll think he owns you, and everything will change," she said. I tried to ignore her advice, but the next day I changed my mind and talked to Mike. "Mike," I said, "

51、;I'm not going to marry you unless you promise to always stay the same." He replied, "You've been talking to Anna again, haven't you.我的朋友，安娜，在我嫁給Mike之前對我說， "他現在是很好，但是要等到你嫁給他之后你才真正知道。" 她認為她自己關于婚姻生活的經驗同樣適用于我們。甚至沒有被問到，她就給我講述她與她丈夫之間的所有問題。他們之間的爭論從丈夫不做家務到他晚上經常出門。而且每一次，安娜控訴到，她的丈夫都會為他的所作所為找到借口。“如果我是你 " ，她勸告我說，“我會把所有的以書面方式寫好。”如果現在他有什么做得讓你很滿意的地方，確保你和他之間達成協議，在結婚之后，他將繼續表現下去。 如果有事令人想要的現在關于他，確定你從他得到協議在你是已婚的之后，他將會繼續它。我試著反駁她的觀點（建議），告訴她我認為我和Mike之間我們不需要這些協議就可以很好的處理這些問題。她直接忽視我所說的，并且還呲之以鼻。“你不要相
