2.One advantage Albert Einstein’s developing mind enjoyed was the opportunity to communicate with adults in an intellectual way. His uncle, an engineer, would come to the house, and Albert would join in the discussions.His thinking was also stimulated by a medical student who came over once a week for dinner and lively chats.
阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦的思维发展得益于他有机会与成人进行智力交流。他的叔叔是工程师，经常到爱因斯坦家里来，于是爱因斯坦就有机会参与他们的讨论。爱因斯坦的思想还受到一位医科学生的启迪。此人每星期都来爱因斯坦家一次，与爱因斯坦一家共进晚餐，一起谈天说地。
At age 12, Albert Einstein came upon a set of ideas that impressed him as ?holy.? It was a little book on Euclidean plane1 geometry. The concept that one could prove theorems of angles and lines that were in no way obvious made an ?indescribable impression? on the young student. He adopted mathematics as the tool he would use to pursue his curiosity and prove what he would discover about the behavior of the universe.
爱因斯坦12岁的时候发现了一系列他认为是?神圣?的观念。那是一本有关欧几里得平面几何的小册子。原来人可以证明那些不易明显看出的角度和线段的定理。这个想法给年轻学生爱因斯坦留下了?难以形容的印象?。他把数学当做满足自己好奇心并用以证明他后来发现宇宙运行规律的手段。
He was convinced that beauty lies in the simplistic. Perhaps this insight was the real power of his genius.Albert Einstein looked for the beauty of simplicity in the apparently complex nature and saw truths that escapedothers. While the expression of his mathematics might be accessible to only a few sharp minds in the science,Albert could condense the essence of his thoughts so anyone could understand.
他坚信美丽寓于简朴。或许这个悟性才是激发他天分的真正力量所在。阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦在表象复杂的大自然中寻求简朴的美，并发现别人看不到的真理。爱因斯坦用数学公式表达的思想也许只有少数才思敏锐的科学家才能理解，但他却能简洁地阐明自己思想之精髓，使人人都能够理解。
6.She knows every nook and cranny in and around Cairo — no easy feat. Cairo with its complex system of streets and lanes, its quarters and markets is like a labyrinth invented by ancient storytellers. Hundreds of mosques — many of which are masterpieces of Islamic architecture, old neighborhoods with houses boxed together, huge apartment buildings on the outskirts and the Nile calmly running through it; all are part of this overcrowded city. 她熟知开罗的每一个角落——这并非一日之功。开罗的大街小巷、居民区、集市所构成的复杂体系，宛如古代说书人编造的迷宫。数百座清真寺——其中许多是伊斯
兰建筑的精华，房子紧紧挤在一起的老街区，郊外巨大的公寓楼群，静静流淌的尼罗河穿城而过——所有
这些组成了这座过于拥挤的城市。
With a mild sense of humor around a deep core of understanding of human nature, Nagat takes control of my sightseeing schedule. Every morning punctually at nine o’clock, I can depend on seeing her short, solid frame outside the hotel lobby, her round face turning into a big smile as soon as she sees me coming down the stairs. Most every day, she wears an earth tone-colored Jellaba. Her movements are energetic and she doesn’t waste any time. Her determined approach seems to have grown on a bed of economy, on the necessity to get as much done as she possibly can. 娜格特熟谙人情，略带幽默。她全权负责我的观光日程安排。每天早上9点，我肯定能看见她矮壮的身影准时出现在
旅馆大厅外。每当她瞥见我走下楼梯，她圆圆的脸上马上会绽放出灿烂的笑容。几乎每天她都穿着一件土
黄色的带风帽的斗篷。她动作利索，从不浪费时间。她做事果断，似乎是由于经济条件所迫而养成的习惯，不得不尽可能地多做些事情。
7.I grew up in a small, rural town in Pennsylvania. It’s one of those places where everyone knows your name, what you did, what you ate and so on. I was a straight-A student and one of the popular kids, liked by all the different crowds. Drugs never played a part in my life. They were never a question — I was too involved and focused on other things. 我是在宾夕法尼亚的一个乡间小镇长大的。在那个地方，你叫什么名字，你是干什么的，你吃的是什么，以及诸如此类的事儿别人都了如指掌。那时，我是一个门门皆优的好学生，是受大家欢迎的一个乖孩子，人人都喜欢我。毒品与我的生活根本不沾边，我也从来没去想过——我别的事情还忙不过来呢。
I always dreamed of moving to New York City to study acting and pursue
a career in theater. My dream came true when my mom brought me to the city to attend acting school. As you can imagine, it was quite a change from home. 我一直梦想到纽约市去学表演，然后从事舞台演出。后来，我妈带我到那座城市去上表演艺术学校，实现了我的梦想。你能想象得到，这与家里相比可是大不一样。
I was exposed to new people, new ideas and a completely new way of life — a way of life that exposed me to drugs. Most of the people that I met in the acting school had already been doing drugs for years. I felt that by using drugs, I would become a part of their world and it would deepen my friendships with them to new levels. I tried pot, even a little cocaine, but it was Ecstasy that changed my life forever. 我接触到了许多新朋友、新观念，接触到了一种全新的生活方式——这种生活方式也使我开始接触到了毒品。我在艺术学校遇到的
那些人多数都已经有多年的吸毒经历。当时我觉得通过吸毒我可以真正融入他们那个世界，可以加深我与
他们的友情。我试过大麻，甚至还试过一点可卡因，不过，永远改变了我的生活的是摇头丸。
1.I have a log cabin in those woods of Northern Wisconsin. I built it by hand and also added a greenhouse to the front of it. It is a joy to
live in. In fact, I work out of my home doing audio production and environmental work. As a tool of that trade I have a computer and a studio.
I also have a tree frog that has taken up residence in my studio.
How odd, I thought, last November when I first noticed him sitting atop my sound-board over my computer.I figured that he(and I say he,though I really don’t have a clue if she is a he or vice versa) would be more comfortable in the greenhouse. So I put him in the greenhouse. Back he came. And stayed. After a while I got quite used to the fact that as I would check my morning email and online news, he would be there with me surveying the world.
Then, last week, as he was climbing around looking like a small gray / green human, I started to wonder about him.

Unit 1 Education: A Transformation of the Soul 3 I went on to college, of course, as everyone told me to do. College is how you become an earner, they told me. My major that first semester was International Relations. I liked the woman I envisioned myself as in this field – a diplomat, a savvy citizen of the world. But gradually I began to realize that this person was not someone I bore any resemblance to. She was, rather, a clone of the well-educated, well-moneyed ideal my teacher had presented to me years ago. This woman had earning potential; she was smart and worldly. But she was not someone I would become. She had

以下为爱麟霖/(Curlylin)倾情奉献，需要的朋友可以参考一下 7. Friendship (Listening and Speaking Course, Unit 3; Integrated Course, Unit 2) 1) Do you have many friends? What kind of people do you want to make friends with? Why? Yes. I’d like to make friends with loyal people. In my opinion,a friend is a person who can share his/hers happiness with you, who can lend you a shoulder when you cry,who can give you a hand when you are in trouble without asking for anything in return. In a word,a friend in need is a friend indeed, I think a loyal people can do the things which were mentioned above for his/hers true friend. So I prefer to make friends with loyal people, and I also believe I am a loyal people who you can make friends with. 2) How do you make friends? Please comment on “a friend you buy isn’t worth the price”. First,I’d like to talk to him to find out whether we have the same interest with each other. If the answer is YES,then we have the foundation to develop a friendship. The next days, all we need to do is to treat each other by heart and soul. 3) How valuable is friendship in a person’s life? How can we keep friendship alive? As for me, I regard friendship as a very important part in my life.Just imagine a life,there’s no one to be your friend. What life could be if you had no friend to talk to , no friend to comfore you and cheer you up when you were having a hard time,no friend to lend you a hand when you needed help …… Life without friends is unthinkable ... We have to do hard work to build up and sustain our friendship. First, let your friends know that you really care about them.It’s important to give some cues to your friends. Be sure your friend knows that she is cared about.Second,try to be with your friends when they are in trouble when they need you. Keeping friendship alive is not only to say some sweet words,but need some real action. 4) What does friendship mean to you? What kind of friends do you think are true friends? It's a fantastic experience in whole of my life. Friendship to me is what water to fish.I can't live without a real friend. 2问见（1） 5) How can we get along well with other people? To begin with, we need to be honest with others and always say what we mean. Lies will surely make people stay far away from us in the long run. After all,honesty is the best policy. Second, we have to be humble enough. If we are proud in public, we can hardly win other's respect, not to mention "friendship" . Finally, we must not be selfish. We should learn how to show concern for others. As long as we abide[?'ba?d] by what is mentioned above, we will find it easy to get along well with others.

The money has gone to school systems to get them to use scientifically based ways to teach reading. The goal is to help all children read at or above grade level by the end of the third grade. The Bush administration’s education law, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, established Reading First. Now, the Department of Education has released findings from a study of the program. On average, teachers using it increased the time they taught reading skills like phonics and vocabulary. But the study also found, on average, little or no effect on test scores in reading comprehension. Government researchers say they are not sure how to explain the results. Another new report listed the books read most often last year by students in American schools. The Renaissance Learning company based the report on its reading programs used in many schools. Students read books and then took computer quizzes to see if they understood them. There are tests for more than one hundred fifteen thousand books. The book read most often by first graders was “Green Eggs and Ham” by Doctor Seuss. In the fourth grade the top book was, not surprisingly, “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing” by Judy Blume. 1. How much money has been used to support the Reading Program each year for the past seven years? A. One billion dollars. B. One and a half billion dollars. C. Two billion dollars. D. Three billion dollars. 2. Who proposed the act “No Child Left Behind Act” ? A. Clinton’s government. B.Reagan”s government. C. Bush’s government.
