After the meal, we’d walk around, talking and laughing for the rest of the lunch hour. A girl named Nancy was usually with us. But on that particular day she wasn’t there, and as we chatted away, we ended up talking about Nancy. Sinceopinions about her all seemed to be negative, I added,” Nancy isn’t very smart, either. She’s always asking others for their homework.”When she saw me the next day, Nancy asked,” Did you say you thought I wasn’t smart?” As I stood there looking Nancy in the face, I wished a thousand times that I could take back my cruel words. As I began to answer Nancy’s question I experienced the worst feeling that I had ever had up to that point in my life.In an apologetic voice I answered,” Yes, Nancy, I said it. But I’m truly sorry.” Nancy accepted my apology. But that day as I stood there, with my heart in my throat, I learned a lesson: Never say anything about someone that yo u wouldn’t want them to hear.Part ⅡCABDADC 8.you’re interested in others 9.secrets 10.make sacrifices of your time and energyPart ⅣSection A 47-56 A K I E B J M F G DSection B 57-66 CCDAB BBCABPart Ⅴ67-86 ABCDA DAABD BCBCA DBBABPart Ⅵ87.tried hard to keep in touch with him 88.saw people distributing advertisements and sample products. 89.must have been completely lost in what he was reading 90.has the responsibility to educate the youth 91.humans and animals are far less different than we usually assumeUnit 5Part ⅡReading TaskVocabularyⅠ1. 1)monthly 2)acquaintances 3)classic 4)look; in the eye 5)manufactured 6)options 7)finance 8)replacement 9)survived 10)pick out 11)married 12)grabbed at2. 1)survived a car crash that killed both her parents.2)almost embarrassed to death when Sarah read my poem out to the whole class.3)of the Children’s Hospital will care for the seriously injured pupils.4)several phone calls making inquiries about the position of Chief Financial Officer.5)straighten out all your financial problems if you join our club.3. 1)inquiry; died of hunger; people survived 2)Instantly; give up his; retire; replace him; executive 3)his beloved; odd jobs; and all thatⅡ1.embarrassment 2.survivors 3.newly 4.marketable 5.monthly petition7.conceivable 8.respectableⅢ1.the poor 2.The deceased/ The dead 3.the disabled 4.the French 5.The accused 6.the young 7.The unemployed 8.the latter… the formerComprehensive ExercisesⅠCloze 1.died of; instantly; classic; ask around; surviving; retire; executive; replacement; stock; look; in the eye2.impressed; diligence; Instead; Contrary; professionally; perform; personal; balance; commitment; revealedⅡTranslation1. 1)I’m not sure where you can find a good carpenter –you’d better ask around.2)Feeling a little embarrassed, he quickly cleared his throat and looked up at the painting on the wall.3)Michael was survived by three sons, two daughters, and his wife Elizabeth.4)As a financial expert, William advised us to invest our money in the stock market.5)We small retailers can’t compete with supermarkets in pricing and sales.2.

Questions and AnswersQ(1)What is a fair weather friend?A(1) A fair weather friend is one who is happy to stay with you when things are going well but leaves as soon as trouble arrives.Q(2)How can friend and friendship be defined?Friends(A):A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one’s heart, chaff（谷壳）and grain together, knowing that gentle hands will take and sift (筛，过滤) them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.---------- George Eliot (1819~1880), English novelist(B):A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud.- --------- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803~1882), American poet and philosopher(C):A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes.----------- Doug Larson (1902~1981), English middle-distance runnerFriendship(A):True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.---------- Charles Caleb Colton (1780~1832), English author and clergyman(B):Friendship is a ship big enough to carry two in fair weather, but only one in foul（天气恶劣的）.--------- Ambrose Bierce (1842~1914), American author and journalist, from The Devil’s Dictionary(C):Friendship is a treasure that always helps us overcome any kind of difficulty.Friendship is a comfort which always understands worries and emotions.Friendship is a blessing because it teaches the way to live.------------ UnknownQ(3)Can you give some examples of great friendship?Marx and EnglesMarx valued Engels’ friendship so highly that he once said he loved and admired his friend very much.

UNIT 2 Remembering and ForgettingIn-Class Reading Special Delivery特种快递到了机场，我才发现我兄弟搭乘的航班延误了一个小时。
通常我在机场等候接人时，会把时间消磨在观看飞机起落上。
可那天晚上我头疼得厉害。
我想喷气发动机发出的噪音会使我头疼更厉害，于是决定在机场内逛一会儿。
当我走过那些店铺时，碰巧看到陈列在那儿的航空箱包，这使我想起了自己的公文包。
我这才意识到公文包没在身上。
我马上努力回忆会把它遗忘在了哪里。
自从离开航空公司票务柜台后，我没有在其他任何地方停留过，所以我推想，我一定是把包留在那里了。
我急忙回去取，可是公文包已无影无踪。
起先我确信一定是有人顺手把它拿走了，但随后又想，也有可能看到包的人已把它交给了柜台，于是便在票务柜台排队等候。
轮到我时，我描述了包的特征，并询问是否有人把它交到了柜台。
那位航空公司代理摇了摇头。
这时我朝他身后的行李输送带瞥了一眼，输送带正把行李从办理登机手续处往下面的装货区传送。
我大声叫道：“我的包在那儿！”然而，当代理回头看时，公文包已传送到输送带的尽头，突然消失了。
“你看到你的包了？”代理问我。
“是的！”我大声说。
“它刚穿过那边那个入口。
这下我怎样才能把它取回来呢？”“这不难，”代理回答说。
“把你的行李领取凭证给我，我想我们能够在装机前截住它。
”“可我没有行李凭证！”我答道。
“我没办托运！我哪儿都不去。
我是来接人的。
”我平静了一下情绪，解释了事情的经过，并指出很可能有人把包交到了柜台，而某位代理把它和其他行李一起办了托运并放到了传送带上。
代理告诉我，能找回包的唯一办法是，填写一张认领单，在上面写清公文包的外观特征。
等我填完表格，代理打电话到下面的行李区查询时，包已被装上了一架航班，但不知是哪一架。
代理记下了我的电话号码，并保证他们一找到包就给我打电话。
尽管我住在苏城，离机场有一个半小时的车程，他们还是会一找到包就把它送到我家来。

All the Cabbie Had Was a LetterFoster Furcolo1 He must have been completely lost in something he was reading because I had to tap on the windshield to get his attention. 出租车司机拥有的就剩一封信福斯特?弗克洛他准是完全沉浸在所读的东西里了，因为我不得不敲挡风玻璃来引起他的注意。
2 "Is your cab available?" I asked when he finally looked up at me. He nodded, then said apologetically as I settled into the back seat, "I'm sorry, but I was reading a letter." He sounded as if he had a cold or something. 他总算抬头看我了。
“你出车吗？”我问道。
他点点头，当我坐进后座时，他抱歉地说：“对不起，我在读一封信。
”听上去他像是得了感冒什么的。
3 "I'm in no hurry," I told him. "Go ahead and finish your letter." “我不着急，”我对他说，“你接着把信读完吧。

China, Italy, France, India, and Japan are just some of the countries with famousnational cuisines. In the past, people had to travel great distances inorder to sample foods from other countries. Today, it has never beeneasier to try food from a different country every day.One of the most popular foods around the world is pizza. Though pizzahas historical and cultural ties to Italy, many different types of pizza have developed outside of Italy and several have been adopted assignature dishes of the respective region.Pizza first appeared in Italy as a type of flat bread that wasinexpensive and easy to make. By the 18th century, residents around Naples in southern Italy were famous for their baked flat breads covered in tomato sauce. To this day, people still travel to Naples to sample pizza in its birthplace and Neapolitans (residents of Naples) are proud of this heritage. Indeed, the city continues to be famous for its delicious pizza.One of the first (and still most popular) varieties of pizza is called the Margherita, named after Queen Margherita of Savoy. This variety was her favourite because the colours of the ingredients matched the Italian flag — red (tomatoes), white (mozzarella cheese), and green (basil leaves).With increased trade, travel, and immigration throughout the 18th and19th centuries, cultural traditions and cuisines spread around the world. Today, pizza is very popular in many countries, including the United States. New York City and Chicago are particularly famous for their unique styles of pizza. Pizzas today are also available with nearly every topping imaginable: mushrooms, peppers, sausage, pineapple, and anchovies, to name only a few.
