It was advisable for an old couple to adopt an orphan, as they had no children of their own. Everything had been fixed in advance. Their kindness was an advantageous condition, which gave them an advantage over other applicants for the adoption of a little boy. The boy grew up quickly under affection, but his behavior was not particularly adult. That was a common mistake among adolescents. Soon, the boy gained admission into the Aesthetic College. The college was affiliated with a famous university. The affair affected all who knew the boy. He won the admiration of people. In the college, the professor he met first was an advocate of truth. He ignored all kinds of adverse comments about him. In the class, the professor taught the students how to use an adverb in the sentence. After class, he told them about his adventures in aerospace, and he showed them some aerial photographs. He also took advantage of some advanced instruments to make experiments. His
new product was so promising, that his students decided to advertise it for him. The boy enjoyed his study very much.

He found out from his American friends that opinions are in abundance of how to teach people to be accountable for their actions, how to make people abide by Family Planning laws, and even how to teach people just to abstain from sex.

3.A Hard Trip 一次辛苦的旅行 My sister was fond of traveling. Ever since graduating, she had been determined to organize a trip to an old temple. Since transport ing fare was expensive, she decided to use a bicycle to cycle there not caring about the disadvantage s. Her stubborn attitude was always her shortcoming. Once she made up her mind to do something, no one could persuade her to change her mind. Finally, we gave in as usual though we prefer red to take a train. After we prepared everything, including the schedule, reliable weather forecast and the insurance, we began our trip. Our journey was along a river flow ing from a high altitude. Our pace was slow because the river frequently had many sharp bend s through deep valley s, where the water seemed to boil. Just as I recorded in my journal, it was really a hard journey. But we also enjoyed great view s. One night, I put my head on my pillow--a parcel of wool coats, and lay beneath the stars. When the flame in front of our cave went out at midnight, I found the sky so beautiful! 我的妹妹很喜欢旅行。自从毕业以来，她就下定决心要组织一次往一座古庙的旅行。因为交通费用昂贵，她决定骑自行车去，毫不担心其中的不利情况。顽固的态度一直都是她的缺点，一旦她下定决心要做的事，就没有人能说服她改变主意。最后，我们像往常一样让步，尽管我们更喜欢乘火车去。我们准备好了所有东西，包括时间表、可靠的天气预报，还有保险，就开始了旅程。 我们的旅程沿着一条从高海拔处流下来的河流前行。但我们的步伐很慢，因为当流经深深的峡谷时，这条河流急转弯很多，急湍的河水都似乎沸腾起来。正如我在旅行日志里记录的那样，这真是一次艰苦的旅行。但是我们也欣赏到了美丽的景色。一天晚上，我把头枕在一包羊毛衣服做的枕头上，躺在星空下，当岩洞前的火焰在午夜熄灭时，我发现夜空是如此的美丽！
我们可以通过自编故事把要记忆的单词串联起来，用这种方法背单词，操作简单有趣而且记得牢靠。 比如，我们记忆一组单词： dog 狗 bog 沼泽 cog 小船 fog 雾 hog 公猪 jog 轻撞 log 原木 mog 撤走 nog 木钉 tog 衣服 wog 东方佬 【自编故事】 有一天，一只dog和一只hog上山玩，谁知途中天上fog很浓，正当他们想mog的时候，hog 不小心jog了一下dog，dog跌进了bog里。hog很惊怕，他想拿来一块log，不知为什么却拿来一块nog，向dog里一扔……结果nog扔到了dog的头，当场晕倒。hog用绳子拉上了dog，这时走来了一位wog，对hog和dog进行了一番说教，于是dog感谢了hog，两位好朋友又一起开心地下山了。 再如，我们记忆一组单词： baby 婴儿
balcony 阳台 bank 银行 bathroom 浴室 beach 海滩 bear 熊 bedroom 卧室 beg 乞讨 believe 相信 boat 船 【自编故事】 婴儿baby在银行bank的阳台balcony上乞讨beg，熊bear相信believe海滩beach的船上boat有卧室bedroom和浴室bathroom。 这些自编故事有时显得有些莫名其妙、怪诞、幼稚甚至弱智，但却极为管用。很多时候，你在编故事的过程中就已经把成堆的单词记住了。如果这个方法融会贯通了，那天底下还真就没有记不住的单词。 最后，再给二组例子： 1） best最好 lest免得 nest鸟巢 jest恶作剧、笑话
pest害虫 rest休息 test检测 vest女装背心 west西边 zest热心、风味 【自编故事】 在west西方有一群zest热心人搞了一个jest恶作剧，用pest害虫去test测试nest鸟巢，这种方法可以test测试出best最好的nest鸟巢，这个做法主要是lest免得那些穿vest V 型背心的女孩们rest休息的时候去掏nest鸟巢。 2） direct v. 引导；adj.直接的 disarm v. 缴械；消除（敌意 disarming adj. 消除敌意的 disarrange v. 扰乱 disarray v./n. 杂乱；混乱 disaster n. 灾难 disastrous adj. 灾难性的；悲惨的 disband v. 解散（军队） disburse v. 支付，支出；分配 discard v. 丢弃 【自编故事】 诸葛亮direct军队disarm了孟获的军队，disarming的孟获终于投降，disband了军队，

1. The Time of Lincoln Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America. He is remembered for many things, including his log-cabin home, his absurd looking clothing accessory, a top-hat, but Lincoln?s absolute most important contribution to America?s history was to abolish slavery, a very hard task to accomplish at that time. In the middle of the 19th century, America was split by an abstract border. The country was cut into two parts: the North and the South. There were an abundance of differences which caused this abnormal separation. For instance, the North held all of the Universities and Military Academies whereas in the South, access to such institutions was limited. Also, Northerners spoke standard American English while Southerners spoke with a Southern accent. But the largest difference that abound between the North and the South at that time was slavery and all of the aspects that accompanied it. The North thought that the South should abandon slavery because mint most cases, slaves faced daily abuse from their owners. Most Northerners tried to abide by the rule that “All men are created equal.” These reasons largely account for the American Civil War. The Civil War was a long, brutal war with a very high casualty rate. Many young men from both the North and the South were killed on the battlefield; the death toll was also accelerated by the fact that small Army hospitals could not accommodate so many wounded soldiers. The Civil War was filled with heroes on both sides of the battlefield. Names like U.S.Grant, General Sherman, and the acclaimed Southern General Robert E. Lee. All of these men fought bravely and made harrowing decisions on their own accord. But Lincoln is probably most often associated with his leadership of the country during this difficult period. He was a firm believer that slavery was wrong and he fought hard to stop it. In 1863, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which legally granted freedom to all slaves living in America. But in 1865, Lincoln?s life came to an abrupt ended while he was watching a play at Ford?s Theater in Washington D.C. His death was not an accident; he was assassinated by a man named John Wilkes Booth. Not long after Lincoln?s death, the North defeated the South and the Civil War was ended. The South was no longer thought of as another country, but part of America. And all of the slaves living and working in the South were freed and absorbed into society. 2. Mike — a Story of Personal Change Mike could hardly be described as your typical adolescent. He would casually acknowledge to his few friends that he liked to watch DVDs, although perhaps a more accurate description was that he was a DVD addict. Over the last six months, Mike had accumulated thousands of DVDs. When he was not at school, he had become accustomed to spending his time wandering the streets of the city, acquiring more and more films. Indeed, it became a joke that if asked for his address, he would give the address of the DVD shop adjacent to our school since he spent so much time there. Mike hated attending school. In his eyes, its only advantage was its location. During lessons, he adopted a rather cool demeanor towards most of his classmates and was often accused of being aloof. All he seemed concerned about was adding to his DVD collection. In truth, Mike had not adapted to life at the school very well. Perhaps he felt that he still needed adequate time to adjust to a new environment although no one could work out why he harbored such an acute feeling of self-pity.
高中英语词汇——看故事记单词（十二） The digest of the novel included the most exciting scenes. Several witnesses saw a UFO! It looked like a huge disc. The dimension of the UFO was 6 feet high, 15 feet in diameter. It gave off diffused light. The light was too dim for them to see it clearly. So they touched it, and it diminished! Suddenly the stones on the ground flew about in every direction. One of the witnesses was disabled in this disaster. The UFO took off and soon disappeared in the sky. The police was diplomatic; they found Professor Huggins with the help of the directory. Professor Huggins was diligent enough to obtain a diploma in space research. Now, he was the director of a famous scientific group. On the day they visited him, Professor Huggins was dining. He was dipping the chicken in the butter. The rich food didn't digest easily. The police asked him what differentiated the UFO from the airplane. He answered humorously, "The UFO has diplomatic immunity."The police said his help would certainly make a difference in this affair. Professor Huggins cut off their diffuse speech and agreed to help them. The news diffused rapidly around the country. The bad thing was newspaper accounts of the affair disagreed. This place Professor Huggins in something of a dilemma. To maintain his dignity, he had to do his work under disadvantage. So he kept on working with a digital computer day and night. 这部小说的摘要包含了最精彩的场面。几个目击者看见了UFO!它看起来像一个巨大的圆盘。UFO的尺寸是高6英尺，直径15英尺。它发出四散的光。光线很暗淡，他们看不清楚。于是他们去触摸它，然而它竟缩小了!突然地上的石头朝各个方向乱飞。一个目击者在这场灾难中残废了。UFO起飞并很快消失在空中。警方很有策略，他们通过人名地址簿找到了哈金斯教授。哈金斯教授很勤奋，他获得了太空研究方面的一个文凭。现在，他是一个著名的科学团体的主任。警方拜访哈金斯教授的那天，他正在进餐。只见他拿鸡块蘸黄油吃。这种油腻的食物可不好消化。警方问他如何区分UFO和飞机。他幽默地回答说：“UFO 有外交豁免权。”警方说他的帮助对这事很重要。哈金斯教授打断他们冗长的演讲，答应帮助他们。很快消息在全国传播开来。不好的事情是新闻报道不一致。这使哈金斯教授陷于窘境。为了维护自己的尊严，他不得不在不利条件下工作。于是他夜以继日地用一台数字计算机工作着。 The war field was in dreadful disorder. Several big chimneys discharged smoke. But the soldiers displayed perfect discipline under the fire of the enemy. A soldiers Howard, was asked to send a dispatch to the front line.

You are a dishonor to our regiment. Our regiment was disgraced by your conduct. I have known how to dispose of you. You are dismissed by way of punishment. Bob will displace you. Don't dispute with me. " The captain's words discouraged Howard. And the news of being dismissed dismayed him. He felt the army had discarded him. Though Howard thought he should not be discriminated against, he knew he was deserving. Someother soldiers surrounded to watch. The captain dispersed them. Howard had to go home and then worked at a store selling merchandise of a 20% discount. He was disposed for discharging the cargo. 战场上一片混乱。几个大烟囱在排出浓烟。但是士兵在敌人的炮火之下显示了他们的
