Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But many years ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750,people never tried skating on wheels. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin.

People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to go to an important party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think. He wanted to find a way to make a wonderful entrance at the party. Merlin had an idea. He thought that he would attract a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skate shoes. Merlin was very proud of them. He dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very surprised.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised to see him. There was just one problem.

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?〞Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?〞I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!〞“He must have wished that,〞Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.〞“He didn’t have such a wish,〞I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.〞Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,〞he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.〞I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.1.

Once this wantis satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 18 It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the“life-enriching〞 level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction－the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body－this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury〞 items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 19On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice.20 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.A．Then a third level appeared.B．Human wants seem endless.C．When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.D．There are several levels of wants in one’s life.E．At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.F．Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.G．Different people have different wants on each level.第二十八天短语翻译1. 一次观光旅行2. 碰撞3. 在最后一刻4. 搀扶某人出车5. 根据语法填空6. looking7. where8. without9.

于对市爱美阳光实验学校高一英语暑假作业17第十七天美文晨读What Are IdealsThe ideals are very important to all of us. But what are ideals ? Now let's look at the following famous sayings.The famous Russian novelist Lev Tolstoy said, "Ideal is the beacon. Without ideal, there is no secure direction; without a direction, there is no life."The famous American statesman Carl Schurz said, "Ideals are like the stars---we never reach them, but like mariner, we chart our course by them."The famous American scientist Albert Einstein said, "The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully have been kindness, beauty and truth."I.语法填空Jonny：Hey！I'm just practicing Tai Chi(太极)．Would you like to join me?Peter：I know nothing about it.

Ⅲ.短文改错Even today, a man with good manner will politely open the door for a lady, help her put on her coat when necessary and see her safely to the door of her home before a date. When a man takes a woman out for a dinner, it is considered impolite to help her with her chair when she gets up or sits down. On a crowding train or bus, it is proper for a man offer a woman his seat, particular if she is old or carries a baby. Even when it comes to shake hands, ladies come first. It is impolite for a man to extend his hand for a handshake upon first greeting. Unless a woman does not extend her hand to the man first, the man shouldn’t offer theirs.第十七天语法填空1. at2. softly3. painful4. holding5. it6. is called7. as8. harder9. if 10. breath七选五11-15 CEBDF短文改错1.manner改为manners2.before改为after3.去掉a4.impolite改为polite5.crowding改为crowded6.offer前加to7. particular改为particularly8.shake改为shaking 9.Unless改为If 10.theirs改为his。

comeback—a series of sold-out shows in London.The pop superstar was taken to the University of California medical centre in Los Angeles last night，and doctors tried resuscitation (心肺复苏术) in the ambulance.He did not regain consciousness and was reported dead about three hours later.“My brother，the legendary King of Pop，passed away on Thursday 25 June at 2∶26 p．m.，” his brother Jermaine said.“We believe he suffered a cardiac arrest at his home；however，the cause of his death is unknown until the results of the autopsy (验尸) are known.The personal physician who was with him at the time attempted to resuscitate him.”A spokesman for the UCLA medical centre said，“When he arrived at hospital at approximately 1∶14 p．m. a team of doctors attempted to resuscitate him for a period of more than one hour；they were unsuccessful.” Police said they were investigating，which is standard procedure in such cases.Jackson’s death brought a tragic end to a long decline from his peak in the 1980s when he was music’s greatest all­around performer，a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV.His 1982 album Thriller，which included the blockbuster hits Beat It，Billie.Jean and Thriller，is still the best-selling album of all time，with an estimated 50 million copies sold worldwide.The world-famous entertainer had planned a series of 50 concerts in the O2 arena in London beginning on 12 July.Although in the last two decades his reputation was ruined by charges of child molestation (骚扰) and his strange public behaviour,1 million tickets were sold within hours，proving the King of Pop had enduring appeal.56．Where did Michael Jackson die?A．At his home in Los Angeles.B．In a Los Angeles hospital.C．On the stage in London.D．In an ambulance to hospital.57．Why are the police involved in investigating the death of Michael Jackson?A．Because they believed he was murdered.B．Because it is standard procedure in such cases.C．Because Michael Jackson was a famous singer.D．Because his relatives insisted on knowing the truth of his death.58．The underlined word “shattered” in Para.4 can be replaced by“________”．A．jumped B．limited C．broke D．avoided59．It can be inferred that Michael Jackson was________.A．a King of Pop with good healthB．a King of Pop and behaved gentlyC．still performing on the stage before his deathD．still popular in spite of his bad reputation60．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．Michael Jackson dies of cardiac arrest.B．Michael Jackson was the legendary King of Pop.C．Michael Jackson’s death is still under investigation.D．People all over the world cry for Michael Jackson.BBlack-footed ferrets (雪貂) used to be in big trouble.The creatures are North America’s only native ferret species.By the late 1970s，scientists thought that black-footed ferrets had become extinct in the wild.Over the years，the number of ferrets has mirrored the number of prairie dogs (草原犬鼠) in the area.Prairie dogs make up 90 percent of what ferrets eat.Farmers have long viewed prairie dogs as pests，and used to kill them.At the same time，diseases swept through the prairie dog community and wiped out many of them.As their food supply declined，ferret populations suffered as well.In the 1970s，scientists tried to raise ferrets and introduce them into the wild after they grew up.Their efforts failed，and biologists thought that the animals had become extinct.Then，in 1981，a farmer’s dog discovered black­footed ferrets near Meatiest，a town in northwest Wyoming.State wildlife managers trapped as many of the animals as they could.In total，they caught 18.Scientists from the Smithsonian Institution’s National Zoological Park in Washington，DC then attempted to feed these survivors.The researchers eventually managed to feed seven ferrets.Over many generations，the group and its offspring (后代) have successfully produced more than 4,800 animals.Since then，biologists have introduced ferrets that were raised by people in 12 other places.At least two thirds of these populations seem to be doing well.To know for sure if the reintroductions are working，scientists will have to carefully study the animals and their progress.61．The black-footed ferrets were once near extinction because______.A．a disease swept through the ferretsB．the number of prairie dogs declinedC．most of them had been killed by huntersD．they couldn’t adapt to the wild62．In the 1970s，scientists tried to________.A．feed as many prairie dogs as possible for black-footed ferrets to eatB．persuade the public to keep black-footed ferrets in their own housesC．kill prairie dogs to keep the balance of natureD．introduce black-footed ferrets into the wild63．We can infer from the passage that________.A．the population of black-footed ferrets will increaseB．scientists will fail to save the black-footed ferretsC．more black-footed ferrets will be caught and raised by peopleD．scientists are sure that the reintroductions are working well64．What do scientists have to do if they want to know whether the reintroductions are working?A．They have to raise more black-footed ferrets.B．They have to ask biologists for help.C．They have to study the black-footed ferrets and their progress.D．They have to introduce black-footed ferrets to some more places.65．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Black-footed ferrets are in danger of dying out.B．How to prevent black-footed ferrets from disappearing.C．What local people have done to protect the black-footed ferrets.D．Scientists are trying to raise the number of black-footed ferrets.CMost children，even the youngest of children，are delighted to be around cats and dogs.But these pets carry plenty of germs and allergens (过敏原)，prompting researchers to ask：Are cats and dogs really safe for children?A study finds that，contrary to many parents’ fea rs，owning cats or dogs does not increase a child’s risk of developing allergies，and in fact，may actually protect them.The study’s lead author，Dr.Dennis Ownby of the Medical College of Georgia，said that even he was “very surprised” by the results.Ownby and colleagues followed more than 470 children from birth to age 6 or 7，comparing those exposed to cats and dogs during their first years of life to those who were not.By using skin-prick tests for detecting common allergies，the researchers found that，contrary to what many doctors had been taught for years，children who had lived with a pet were not at greater risk.Even more remarkable，children who had two or more dogs or cats had an even greater reduction，up to 77 percent，in risk of allergies.Researchers suggest this protective effect may be the result of early exposure to lots of bacteria that are carried by dogs and cats.Exposing young children to these bacteria helps “exercise” their immune systems early in life so that they’re better able to resist allergic diseases later.“There’ s something very important in the first years of life when the immune system is developing that we can retrain it away from an allergic response，” said Dr.William Davis.And while researchers are not encouraging parents to buy dog s or cats just to reduce a child’s allergy risk，they say if a family already has one or more animals，there’s no need to get rid of them.66．Why do the researchers feel “very surprised” by the results of the study?A．Because the results are contrary to their expectation.B．Because so many children are playing with cats and dogs.C．Because parents are so much worried about their children.D．Because children with animals may develop allergies easily.67．Compared with children who have pets，those who haven’t______.A．will lose the chance to develop immune systemB．may suffer allergic diseases more oftenC．will reduce the harm from bacteriaD．can keep doctors away68．It can be inferred from the passage that________.A．pets are ill-treated by their ownersB．less families would like to own cats and dogsC．keeping pets is a good way to keep children healthyD．the results of the study can make families with pets feel at ease69．The underlined word “it” in the fifth paragraph refers to______.A．the early life B．an allergic diseaseC．immune system D．something important70．What may be the best title of the passage?A．How to protect your kids from allergiesB．Your pets may be helping your kidsC．Bacteria do good to your kidsD．Advantages of owning petsDThe global financial crisis is likely to cause increased mental health problems and even suicides (自杀) as people struggle to deal with poverty and unemployment，the World Health Organization warned on Thursday.Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are already affected by mental problems such as depression and bipolar disorders and the current market meltdown (崩溃) could worsen feelings of despair among people who can’t stand such illnesses.The United Nations agency said the impact could be especially marked for those living in low and middle income countries where access to treatment is often limited.“We should not be surprised at the turbulence (动荡) and likely consequences of the current financial crisis.Now we are seeing a huge gap in taking care of people in great need，” WHO director-general Margaret Chan told at a meeting of mental health experts.“It should not come as a surprise that we continue to see more stresses，suicides and mental disorders，” Chan warned.Benedetto Saraceno，director of WHO’s mental health，said mental health disorders affected one in four people at some point in their lives.Mental and neurological disorders are often chronic (慢性) and disabling，he said.Nearly 1 million people commit suicide worldwide every year，a large proportion (比例) of whom are young adults.Asked about the financial crisis，Saraceno said，“Poverty can be the consequence of such events，the debts，despair and sense of loss that may reach middle and lower classes.Even the poor can be affected by this crisis.”“There is a clear evi dence that suicide is linked to financial disasters.I am not talking about the millionaire’s jumping out of the window but about poor people，” he said.The global crisis could be expected to affect the “stability (稳定) of communities and families”，according to Saraceno.71．According to the passage，the chief result of the worldwide financial crisis is that________.A．more people will be poorerB．more people will be out of jobsC．more people will suffer from mental problemsD．more people will commit suicide72．The United Nations agency worried that________.A．more rich people would commit suicideB．the financial crisis might especially influence developing or underdeveloped countries C．the current market meltdown could worsen feelings of despairD．hundreds of millions of people in the world were already affected by mental problems 73．The underlined word “impact” in the third paragraph probably means________.A．crisis B．disorder C．meltdown D．influence74．It is implied that________.A．far more work should be done to help those who are mentally illB．it will be surprising to see more people commit suicideC．a mental disorder is a chronic diseaseD．many more young adults commit suicide worldwide than people of other ages75．The best title for the passage is ________.A．Consequences of Global Financial CrisisB．Mental Disorders Resulting from Global Financial CrisisC．Suicides as a Result of Market MeltdownD．Chronic Mental Disorders慧德高中暑假作业英语作业（三）（综合）第一部分：单项选择（共20题，每题1分，满分20分）1.As with many other parents, ___ Smiths would do all they could to ensure that their children led ___happy life.A.the;aB. the; /C./; aD.

There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to do one thing before a man's face and another behind his back. We should say and do nothing to the injury of any one. It is not only a matter of principle, but also the path of peace and honor.如果发现某人身有瑕疵，直接告诉他你的意见，而不是诉之他人。

Ⅰ.阅读理解AOn each Christmas night，our whole family get together and enjoy a visit from Santa himself. The Christmas of 1988，my youngest son，Matthew，was two.When Santa arrived，Matthew sat on Santa's lap for the rest of the evening.We took many pictures with them. None of us knew how precious those photos for Santa and Matthew.Five days after Christmas，Matthew died in an accident at home.When the next Christmas was coming，it was hard for me to enjoy the holiday spirit.On December 13th，something special happened to raise our spirits.We were just finishing dinner when we heard a knock on the front door.When we went to answer it，no one was there.However，there was a card and gift.We opened the card and read that the gift­giver wanted to remain anonymous;_he or she just wanted to help us get through a hard time by cheering us up. In the gift bag was a cassette of favourite Christmas music.We thought that it was a very clever gift，and it touched our hearts.We listened to the songs one by one，and the spirit of Christmas began to warm our hearts. Then we received one gift for each day until Christmas.We were interested in what would possibly come next.Each year since then，as we decorate our Christmas tree，we place on it the giftswe received that Christmas.We never found out who it was.1．The photos for Santa and Matthew became precious because ________. A．Matthew died in an accident B．Santa would not come againC．Matthew is the youngest son D．the writer loved Matthew more than others 2．We can infer that Matthew________.A．was a lazy boy B．loved Santa very muchC．was not healthy before he died D．liked taking pictures3．The underlined word “anonymous〞means“________〞．A．with the name unknown B．with a heart openC．silent D．thankful4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The gifts made the writer sad for her son.B．The gifts made it less hard for the writer to get through Christmas.C．The writer was in deep sorrow when receiving the gifts.D．Matthew died on the Christmas Day in 1988.BPeople come into your life for a reason，a season，or a lifetime.When you figure out which one it is，you will know what to do for each person.When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expected.They have come to help you through a difficulty, to provide you with advice and support.They are there for the reason you need them to be.Then，without any wrong doing on your part，this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.Sometimes they die.Sometimes they walk away.What we must realize is that our need has been met, and their work is done.And now it is time to move on.When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh.They may teach you something you have never done.They usually give you lots of joy.Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon trust and love.Your job is to accept the lesson，love the person，and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.5．The similarity of the people mentioned in the passage is that________.

I’m writing to tell you something I don’t think it good. Recently I’ve noticed many of my classmates often went to the Internet bar near our school. The other day I went there, too. I was very surprising to see many students playing games, seeing films and chatting. Some were even talking about love affairs on-line. In my opinion, an Internet bar should be a place which we can find much useful information. As is known to all that the Internet is a window to an outside world rather than a place for games. The Internet is good if we make good use it. Otherwise, it will do us great harm. So the local governmentshould take measures to make sure that the students use Internet bars positively.Ⅲ.书面表达某中学英文杂志针对如何养成好的消费习惯进展征文，请根据以下要点结合自己的实际情况写一篇题为 My advice on how to use pocket money properly的文章向该杂志社投稿。

But it wasn’t always January l that marked the New Year.At least 4,000 years ago the ancient Egyptians and Bahylo-nians(古巴比伦人)marked the changing of the year. In Egypt, the year started when the Nile River(尼罗河)flooded, enriching farmers’ fields with silt(淤泥). This happened at the end of September.The Babylonians held a festival in spring, on March 23, to kick off the next farming cycle. The Babylonian celebration lasted for l l days.The date January l was picked by the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar as the change of the year when he established his own calendar in 4 6 BC. The month of January was named after the Roman god, Janus(雅努斯). He is pictured with two heads. 0ne head looks forward and the other back. They represent a break between the old and new. That new calendar was in time with the sun and it has been used until the present day.Around the world, different cultures have their own traditions for welcoming the New Year. The Japanese hang straw rope across the front of their houses to keep out evil spirits and bring happiness and good luck. They also have a good laugh as the year begins to get things started on a lucky note.In India people like to wear pink, red, purple and white flowers. Women favor yellow, the color of spring. Hindus also leave shrines next to their beds so they see beautiful objects when they wake up.Canadians enjoy the traditional polar bear swim. People of all ages put on their swimsuits and jump into frozen lakes.9. Which ancient country has a great effect on the New Year we are celebrating now?A. Egypt.B. Rome.C. Babylon.D. India.10.
