Unit 9 Holidays and Special DaysUseful InformationHolidays are special times of respite from work and other routines. In some cases, they are legal holidays when stores, businesses and government offices are officially closed. In other cases, they are celebrated without taking time off from work. Holidays are often times for celebration, revelry, eating, drinking, travel, and family gatherings, but they may also be times of rest and reflection. The current trend is away from rest and reflection. Even Mardi Gras (大斋首日的前一天，直译为“油腻的星期二”), the day before the traditionally reflective period of Lent (大斋期), has turned into an entire week of parties, parades, and merry-making for those who make the annual pilgrimage to New Orleans, for example.In most cultures the scheduling of holidays originally was related to the seasons, the lunar cycle, and religion. Christmas (December 25) celebrates the birth of Jesus, but it is not actually known when Jesus was born. The first Roman emperor to espouse Christianity decided to have Christmas when the days are shortest to bring a spirit of optimism to the long winter months. It also helped bring Christianity to the pagans, who were accustomed to having festivals at the winter solstice, encouraging warmth and sunshine to return. Over the years Christmas has come to symbolize goodwill and generosity for both Christians and non-Christians through the personification of Santa Claus, originally a Christian saint, known as St. Nicholas. Nowadays Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is almost as important a global symbol of Christmas as Jesus or Santa and the commercialization of Christmas for some people threatens to replace generosity with greed. Few people remember that the original Christmas gifts were given with generosity and humility by the Three Wise Men, all pagans, to Jesus, a Jewish child born in a manger (马槽). All they think of are the gifts they will give or receive, and all the money they have spent.One reason for the increasing popularity of Christmas is its proximi ty to New Year’s Day, permitting a long holiday to evolve out of both. In the U. S. the holiday has turned into an extended holiday season, lasting from Thanksgiving Day in late November until New Year’s Day, with a seemingly endless array of parties, dinners, concerts, parades, and vacation trips. The schools and colleges are closed from mid-December through early January when many people eat too much, drink too much, and watch too much American football on TV. Many gifts, cards, and annual letters are exchanged, and the various festivities are not always very restful. Then the same people make New Year’s Resolutions to eat less, drink less, spend less, and work harder in the coming year.Christmas is by far the most important holiday in English-speaking countries. Other important holidays in addition to Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day are Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, April Fools’ Day, and Easter. On Valentine’s Day, celebrated on February 14, people give cards, chocolates, flowers, and kisses to t heir spouses and sweethearts. On St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, people wear green to celebrate the luck of the Irish, and eat corned beef and cabbage, and may drink green beer. During Easter Week in late March or early April, Christians remember the death and resurrection of Jesus while Jews celebrate Passover, in memory of the escape of the Jews from ancient Egypt, where they had been slaves. Although it is not actually a holiday and has no religious connotation, April Fools’ Day, celebrated on April 1, is a day when people play embarrassing tricks on their friends and colleagues and even on their teachers. Another holiday with some similarity to April Fools’ Day is Halloween on October 31, when children wear funny orscary costumes and ask their neighbors fo r ―tricks or treats‖. The name Halloween means ―hallowed evening‖, the night before All Saints’ Day when Christian saints are honored. On the following day, All Souls’ Day, services and prayers are said for the dead. In many countries, it is a day when families visit cemeteries and place flowers on the tombs of their relatives. In Europe, Labor Day is celebrated on May 1, whereas in Canada and the United States, labor and laborers are honored by a legal holiday on the first Monday in September.Part One Preparation1.

Book OneUnit NinePassage OneDirections: You will have 10 minutes to read this passage quickly and answer the following questions from A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.It’s something to Live inKids have always loved to build tree houses and playhouse. Why should it be a surprise, then, that some grown-ups like to do the same kind of thing? All over America there are many kinds of houses that people built.Many of the people who built their houses knew nothing about building when they started. Maude Meager and Carolyn Smiley were such people. They moved to California when they were in their 50s and decided to build a house. They had never built anything, but they figured they could learn.Of course, they made mistakes along the way. But by trying, they learned how to do everything that had to be done. They made bricks by testing different mixtures of mud until they found a good, strong one. They cut 3,000 windowpanes (窗玻璃) from old car windshields (挡风玻璃). They fashioned nine fireplaces, all different. What they ended up with was a home about the size of eight average houses.In Fresno, California, lives a man named Baldasare Forestiere. When he came to America from Sicily, he got a job digging subway tunnels in Boston. So when he built himself a house, he built it underground. Each of the ninety rooms he built had a hole in its ceiling open to the sky above. And beneath each hole he planted a fruit tree.There is a stone castle in Arizona that was built by one man. There are used auto parts, refrigerator plates, and broken tiles (碎瓦片) in the walls among the stones. The builder’s name was Boyce Gulley. He had promised his daughter that someday she would have a castle. When he died in 1945, she saw it for the first time. Today it is her home.Fred Burns built his house on the water in Belfast, Maine. He used driftwood (浮木), rusty nails, and leftover paint. He built it a little at a time until became a drifting, colorful house. He lives in his work of art with his ten dogs.David Brown built a house of bottles in British Columbia, Canada. He collected bottles from all his friends and cemented them together into thick walls. He figured half a million bottles went into his house. When he died, his son went right on building. Now there is even a bridge built of bottles in the yard.In the mountains of New York, Clarence Schmidt set out to build himself a log cabin（小木屋）. When it was fit to live in, Schmidt found that he couldn’t stop buildi ng. He kept adding to his house. Finally he had a seven-storey house with many rooms. All around the grounds Schmidt placed useless or old things that were interesting to him. Some of this he wrapped in tin foil (锡纸) so it would reflect the light. He painted some of his windows to look like stained glass. Schmidt’s neighbors weren’t happy with his house and his useless things. A fire burned that house down, the work of someone who didn’t understand him.Handmade houses are not always easy to find. The people who build them are often thought strange. Sometimes they hide themselves away. Jan Wampler, a teacher of architecture in Cambridge, Massachusetts, set out to find people who had put together their own houses. His book All Their Own: People and the Places They Build shows many such houses, some of which you have read about here.Wampler believes that what these “strange” people have done is what more people need to do. It feels good to put something of yourself into the walls around you. If you’re not allowed even to pound nails into those walls, you are being robbed. As an architect, Wampler would like to see people take part in the design of their homes. He would like to see housing projects planned and even built by the people who will live in them. He thinks that, like the builders he found across the country, people would care more about their homes if they helped make them.(660 words) Questions1.

Psychic ability is also not to be explained by any known laws. But since the beginning of modern civilization, man has always known of the existence of these unique powers.Egypt, Greece and RomeMan’s desire to study psychic development is nothing new. Through the centuries of time, man has attempted to understand this unusual phenomenon. The ancient Egyptians were strong believers in these unseen forces and devoted centuries of study to understand, develop and control them. They used various psychic development techniques to help them better know these mysterious forces. The Egyptians used dream scrying (以水晶球推算吉凶), astrology (占星术) and meditation (沉思). They also accepted rebirth as a fact of life. The Egyptians had several religious cults（祭拜仪式）devoted to understanding these psychic forces on a deeper level.The Greeks and Romans also had a strong interest in what we now call psychic development. They believed that you could use this knowledge to help yourself lead a better life. There were even “Mystery Schools” in Greece and Rome devoted to nothing but learning about spiritual and psychic development. In these Mystery Schools, they studied the Tarot (占卜用的纸牌,共二十二张), Numerology (命理学), Astrology and other forms of divination (占卜). In fact, the word “psychic” finds its origin from the Greek word “psychikos” meaning “of the soul and mind”.Common Psychic ExperiencesPsychic development uses our god-given sixth senses and is inherent in all of us. Therefore, learning how to develop and unlock this power is possible for everyone. Psychic development involves the uncovering and developing of your already existing abilities. Many people don’t even realize when t hey’ve had a psychic experience!Here are some common psychic experiences one may have on a daily basis are:- Knowing who is calling before answering the phone- Having a feeling about something that later proves to be correct- Dreaming something that actually happens later- Understanding the hidden purpose behind things that happen- Understanding other people’s true feelings without them having to express them- Knowing what someone is going to say before they say itIf you have experienced one or more of these experiences, it indicates the presence of strong psychic powers within. It is important to realize the presence of these psychic powers and to learn how to develop them using psychic development techniques. Ignoring or denying your psychic ability due to fear and doubt is not the right thing to do.Psychic development has responsibilities that should not be feared but welcomed. These natural god-given abilities won’t go away, even if they are disregarded! They are natural gifts which should be explored and welcomed. Although the journey of discovery requires practice andpatience, the end results will examine your efforts. You can learn to know the mysteries of life and understand what others mistakenly call the “unknown”.The Benefit of MeditationWhen you begin to take your first steps towards psychic development, the key is to remain calm and focused. Meditation helps with this to a great extent. Meditation can be used as a process of shutting out all worldly thoughts and going within. At first, some people find it is difficult to get into the practice of meditation. But meditation is very beneficial to the body, mind and soul of an individual.There are several approaches one can use to get into a meditative state. While sitting upright, make yourself comfortable and keep your spine straight. Then try a few of the following exercises: - Breath naturally while focusing on nothing but your breathing- Sit in a dimly lit room and focus your attention on a candle flame- Focus on a mental image in your mind- Continuously repeat the mantra (颂歌) “Ohm” while relaxing your bodyIn order to make much more benefits of the psychic development process, practice one of the above meditation techniques at least twice a day for a least 10 minutes each time.What You Will GainPsychic development techniques will help you to tap into the abilities already within yourself. In addition to the attainment (成就) of a deep sense of relaxation (放松) and peace of mind, psychic development will help to build up a new sense of confidence in yourself.InsightBy working on psychic development, it will provide clearness, focus and a new sense of purpose in your life. You will come to recognize your potential talents and develop them, realizing that these powers can be used for success, prosperity and the benefit of others.(751 words) True or False( ) 1.

Great British institutions have been polarized. Last week the might of English law delivered its verdict (裁决) at Southwark Crown Court where five members of the DPM graffiti crew were jailed—one, Andrew Gillman, for two years—after admitting conspiracy to cause criminal damage costing the taxpayer at least £1m.By contrast, just down the road, the riverside façade (正面) of Tate Modern had been covered in giant murals (壁画) by six urban artists with international reputations,including Blu from Bologna, Faile from New York, and Sixeart from Barcelona, in the first display of street art at a major museum.The courtroom and the museum were so close that supporters of the men on trial popped down to the Tate to do a bit of retouching during one lunchtime adjournment. “There is a huge irony in the juxtaposition(并列)of the two events,” said on e of the artists.The man to credit for bringing street art into established gallery spaces is Banksy. A few years ago he was sneaking his work into galleries such as the Louvre and Tate Britain. Now Tate Modern is selling his book in its gift shop. His works go for hundreds of thousands of pounds and he was recently featured in a retrospective exhibition alongside Andy Warhol.“London is to street art, at the start of the 21st century, what Paris was for Impressionism at the start of the 20th,” he says with unfeigned immodesty. “And yet we hate graffiti more than anywhere else in the world. England is by far and away the most draconian for punishments for what are only economic crimes.”A gallery in New York launches an exhibition next week based on the work of those convicted at Southwark. “DPM—Exhibit A”, at the Anonymous Gallery Project in SoHo, will display large photographs of the convicts' work alongside copies of their charge sheets to ask whether the men are criminals or artists.It is a question which prompts different answers in different parts of the world, says Cedar Lewinsohn, the curator (馆长) of the exhibition at Tate Modern. “Brazil for instance is more relaxed about it,” he says. “In parts of Australia, they are like the UK and people really hate graffiti and tags on vans and trains, but in Melbourne van drivers compete with each other as to whose is more decorated.”Street art, you see, is a highly polarising phenomenon. On the one hand there are those like the American artist Elura Emerald who insist that “artists who paint on the street are merely expressing themselves, not hurting anyone” and should not be punished “but appreciated and celebrated”. Then there are those like Judge Christopher Hardy who, in court in Southwark, described the activities of the DPM Crew as “a wholesale self-indulgent campaign to damage property on an industrial scale”.How is such a dichotomy (对立) to be resolved?“I suppose the greater the cost of removing the graffiti, the greater the punishment should be, tho ugh not prison,” says Bob, a street artist. This is not a million miles from Judge Hardy's verdict on the two-year spree in which the DPM Crew staged 120 night-time attacks on stations, trains and railway rolling stock in London, Somerset, Liverpool, Manchester, Sunderland, Paris, Amsterdam and the Czech Republic.The judge had little patience with Gillman's notion that “trains were like a moving canvas(画布)” on which to create something artistic and thought-provoking that made “commuters look up from their paper”.Judge Hardy admitted that “it would be wrong of me not to acknowledge that some examples of your handiwork show considerable artistic talent”,but he concluded, “the trouble is that it is has been sprayed all over other people's property without their consent and that is simply vandalism.” Over the two years the bill must have run into millions of pounds.If art is defined by the artist's intent then vandalism must be determined by the response of the owner of the thing vandalised. Peterborough City Council recently tried to find a compromise. It erected two 8ft by 4ft boards to allow artists there to express themselves freely. The trouble was that they were pulled down by vandals.(760 words) Questions:( ) 1. If you work in the local council's cleansing department, you may take graffiti as a kind of art form.( ) 2. Five members of the DPM graffiti crew were put into prison.( ) 3. The man to credit for bringing street art into established gallery spaces is Banksy.( ) 4. The work of those convicted at Southwark depicts the scenery of Scotland.( ) 5. In Australia, people hate graffiti and tags very much.( ) 6. Street art is a highly polarising phenomenon.( ) 7. According to Judge Christopher Hardy, artists who paint on the street are merely expressing themselves, not hurting anyone.Fill in the blanks:8. London is to street art, at the start of the 21st century, what Paris was for ____________ at thestart of the 20th,9. A street artist, Bob, supposes the greater the cost of removing the graffiti, ___________, thoughnot prison.10.

Transformative Travel1 Twenty-five years ago I felt like a wreck. Although I was just 23, my life already seemed over. The future appeared as much like a wasteland as the emptiness I could see while looking back to the past. I felt lost, without choices, without hope.2 I was stuck in a job I hated and trapped in an engagement with a womanI didn't love. At the time, both commitments seemed like a good idea, but I suppose it was the fantasy of being a successful, married businessman that appealed to me far more than the reality.3 I decided to take a class just for the entertainment value. It happened to be an introductory counseling course, one that involved personal sharing in the group. We were challenged to make commitments publicly about things we would like to change in our lives, and in a moment of pure impulsiveness, I declared that by the next class meeting I was going to quit my job and end my engagement.4 A few days later I found myself unemployed and unattached, excited by the freedom, yet terrified about what to do next. I needed some kind of transition from my old life to a new one, a sort of ritual that would help me to transform myself from one person into another. So I did somethingjust as impulsive as my previous actions: I booked a trip for a week in Aruba.5 In spite of what others might have thought, I was not running away from something but to something. I wanted a clean break, and I knew I needed to get away from my usual environment and influences so as to think clearly about where I was headed.6 Once settled into my room on the little island of Aruba, I began my process of self-change. I really could have been anywhere as long as nobody could reach me by phone and I had the peace and quiet to think about what I wanted to do. I spent the mornings going for long walks on the beach, the afternoons sitting under my favorite tree, reading books and listening to tapes. Probably most important of all, I forced myself to get out of my room and go to meet people. Ordinarily shy, I now decided that I was someone who was perfectly capable of having a conversation with anyone I chose. Since nobody knew the "real" me, the way I had always been, I felt free to be completely different.7 It took me almost a year to pay off that trip, but I am convinced that my single week in Aruba was worth three years in therapy. That trip started a number of processes that helped me to transform myself. This is how I did it:8 I created a mindset that made me ready for change. I expected that big things were on the horizon, that a trip such as this could change my life. I believed with all my heart that I could change, if only I could find a quiet place to sort things out and experiment with new ways of thinking and acting.9 I insulated myself from the usual influences in my life and the people whose approval was most important. One of the reasons that therapy often takes so long is that, once you leave the safety and support of a session, you reenter the world where familiar people elicit the familiar reactions. By separating myself from others' approval and influences, I was able to think more clearly about what I really wanted.10 I structured my time in order to produce change and growth. Solitude, isolation, or new environments in themselves are not enough; you must also complete tasks that are relaxing and educational. The most important part of any therapy is not what you understand or what you talk about, but what you do. Insight without action is entertaining but not always helpful. Instead of reading novels and calling home regularly, I took the time to participate in different activities that would make me change.11 I pushed myself to experiment with new ways of being. I sampled alternative lifestyles and pretended to be a different person. I acted in unfamiliar ways just to see how it felt. Whatever I would usually do invarious circumstances, I forced myself to do the opposite. This reinforced the idea that anything was possible, that I could do anything I wanted.12 I made public commitments of what I intended to do so it would be harder to back down. There were times when I wanted to avoid doing those things I found most frightening. Until this trip, I had never traveled to a strange place deliberately alone. Whenever I thought about taking safe routes, I imagined that I would soon have to face my classmates and that I would have to explain my actions to them.13 I processed my experiences systematically. I wrote in a journal each day and spoke to people I met about what I was doing and why. When I returned, I talked to several people I trusted about what had taken place. Each of them offered a different perspective that I valued and found useful in incorporating the experience into my life.14 I made changes when I returned that continued the transformation that started while I was in Aruba. It is easier to make changes when you are away from home than to maintain the changes after you return. To make sure I didn't slip back into old patterns, I immediately made new decisions about my work and my relationships that kept me moving forward.15 I decided that much of my future traveling would have some transformative dimension to it. Although it is possible to make extraordinary progress in a single week, transformative change takes place over a lifetime. I promised myself that I would make other trips from time to time in order to continue my growth.。

Human curiosity was never to be satisfied with; it would only constantly look for new targets. As the third moon landing human (and the first to fall on the moon), Conrad knew well that the target of people would change frequently. Since Armstrong and Aldrin took the first moon landing the award, there was no more concern about Apollo 12. Conrad later appeared in an advertisement for American Express. All those who showed up are some forgotten American celebrities, including cartoon rabbit elder brother's voice MEL Blanc. However, from many aspects, the lunar flight in which Conrad involved was the most interesting among Apollo lunar exploration plans. For example, Bean, with whom Conrad landing on the moon, was the most talented among astronauts, but he worked hard and maked up intelligence by diligence. When Bean finally ascended the surface of the moon, he threw away the silver NASA wearing badges, because he knew that walking on the moon would mean he had won a gold medal. However, when they flew back to the earth, Bean directly told Conrad how disappointed he was about the moon. He said,” I feel a little bit like songs ‘aren't just expressed’ in the feeling’”. Here we haveconcluded a timeless truth, that is: achievement itself is not important, the important thing is for you to pay efforts.Part V English-Chinese Translation1.“移居中国吧！”我北京的新朋友黛西曾在MSN（微软即时通讯软件）对话中打出了这样一句话。

Inside the car were two young girls on the passenger seat — but no driver. Paul stopped quickly, jumped in front of the sports car and tried to stop it, pushing against the front of the car. Another man who was standing nearby got into the car and put on the handbrake, saving the girls from injury.It was at this point that Paul noticed his own car rolling slowly down the hill and going too fast for him to stop it. It crashed into a bus at the bottom of the hill and was so badly damaged thatit had to be pulled away to a garage.As if this was not bad enough, Paul now found he had no one to blame. He was so busy chasing his car that he didn't get the name of the driver of the sports car, who just came out of thesupermarket and drove away without realizing what had happened.11. Which car was badly damaged?12. Where was the driver of the sports car when the accident happened?13. Who did Paul think was to blame for the accident?14. Who was injured in the accident?Passage TwoMy friend, Vemon Davies kept birds. One day he phoned and told me he was going away for a week. He asked me to feed the birds for him and said that he would leave the key to his front door in my mailbox.Unfortunately, I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vemon was going to return. What was worse, it was already dark when I arrived at his house. I soon found the key Vemon gave me could not unlock either the front door or the back door. I was getting desperate. I kept thinking of what Vemon would say when he came back.I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a barrel and pushed it under the window. As the barrel was very heavy, I made a lot of noise. But in the end, I managed to climb up and open the window.I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone was shining a torch up at me. I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady, one of Vemon's neighbors. “What are you doing up there?" said the policeman. Feeling like a complete fool, I replied, “I was just going to feed Mr. Davies's birds."15. Why couldn't the man open the door?16. Why did the man feel desperate?17. Why did the man feel like a fool?Passage ThreeWhen Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil well at the end of Gulf War, scientists feared an environmental disaster. Would black powder and the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun?Many said “n o way’’--- rain would wash the black powder from the atmosphere. But in America, air- sampling balloons have detected high concentrations of particles similar to those c ollected in Kuwait. Now that the fire’s out, scientists are turning their attention to yet another threat --- the oil that didn't catch fire. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwaiti desert. They trap insects and birds, and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants.The only good news is that the oil lakes have not affected the underground water resources. So far, the oil has not been absorbed because of the hard sand just below the surface.Nothing, however, stops the oil from evaporating. The resulting poisonous gases are choking nearby residents.Officials are trying to organize a quick cleanup, but they are not sure how to do it. Onepossibility is to burn the oil. Get those black-powder detectors ready.18. What were the scientists worried about soon after the Gulf War?19. What was the good news for scientists?20. What are the officials trying to do at the moment?1-10: CADCABBCDB11-20: CDAAABBDDC。

大学英语精读第一册Unit9课文大学英语精读第一册Unit9课文导语：大学英语精读对一些常用词和词组的用法分析到位，下面YJBYS店铺提供一篇大学英语精读的课文，欢迎学习!TEXTThroughout the ages different ideas have been expressed about the working of the human brain. It is only recently, however, that science has begun to give us some idea of how the brain really works.The BrainThe Most PowerfulComputer in the UniverseMan still has a lot to learn about the most powerful and complex part of his body -- the brain.In ancient times men did not think that the brain was the centre of mental activity. Aristotle the philosopher of ancient Greece thought that the mind was based in the heart. It was not until the 18th century that man realised that the whole of the brain was involved in the workings of the mind.During the 19th century scientists found that when certain parts of the brain were damaged men lost the ability to do certain things. And so, people thought that each part of the brain controlled a different activity. But modern research has found that this is not so. It is not easy to say exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past 50 years there has been a great increase in the amount of research being done on the brain. Chemists and biologists have found that the way the brain works is far more complicated that they had thought. In fact many people believethat we are only now really starting to learn the truth about how the human brain works. The more scientists find out, the more questions they are unable to answer. For instance, chemists have found that over 100,000 chemical reactions take place in the brain every second. Mathematicians who have tried to use computers to copy the way the brain works have found that even using the latest electronic equipment they would have to build a computer which weighed over 10,000 kilos. Some recent research also suggests that we remember everything that happens to us. We may not be able to recall this information, but it is all stored in our brains.Scientists hope that if we can discover how the brain works, the better use we will be able to put it to. For example, how do we learn language? Man differs most from all the other animals in his ability to learn and use language but we still do not know exactly how this is dine. Some children learn to speak and read and write when they are very young compared to average children. But scientists are not sure why this happens. They are trying to find out whether there is something about the way we teach language to children which in fact prevents children from learning sooner.Earlier scientists thought that during a man's lifetime the power of his brain decreased. But it is now thought that this is not so. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise it keeps its power. It has been found that an old person who has always been mentally active has a quicker mind than a young person who has done only physical work. It is now thought that the more work we give our brains, the more work they are able to do.Other people now believe that we use only 1% of our brains' full potential. They say that the only limit on the power of thebrain is the limit of what we think is possible. This is probably because of the way we are taught as children. When we first start learning to use our minds we are told what to do, for example, to remember certain facts, but we are not taught how our memory works and how to make that best use of it. We are told to make noted hut we are not taught how our brains accept information and which is the best way to organise the information we want our brains to accept.This century man has made many discoveries about the universe -- the world outside himself. But he has also started to look into the workings of that other universe which is inside himself -- the human brain.NEW WORDScomputern. machine that stores information and works out answers 计算机universen. 宇宙complexa. difficult to understand or explain 错综复杂的，难懂的'ancienta. in or of times long ago 古代的;古老的philosophern. 哲学家philosophyn. 哲学involvevt. cause to become connected or concerned 使卷入workingn.

Book OneUnit NinePassage OneDirections: You will have 10 minutes to read this passage quickly and answer the following questions from A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.It’s something to Live inKids have always loved to build tree houses and playhouse. Why should it be a surprise, then, that some grown-ups like to do the same kind of thing? All over America there are many kinds of houses that people built.Many of the people who built their houses knew nothing about building when they started. Maude Meager and Carolyn Smiley were such people. They moved to California when they were in their 50s and decided to build a house. They had never built anything, but they figured they could learn.Of course, they made mistakes along the way. But by trying, they learned how to do everything that had to be done. They made bricks by testing different mixtures of mud until they found a good, strong one. They cut 3,000 windowpanes (窗玻璃) from old car windshields (挡风玻璃). They fashioned nine fireplaces, all different. What they ended up with was a home about the size of eight average houses.In Fresno, California, lives a man named Baldasare Forestiere. When he came to America from Sicily, he got a job digging subway tunnels in Boston. So when he built himself a house, he built it underground. Each of the ninety rooms he built had a hole in its ceiling open to the sky above. And beneath each hole he planted a fruit tree.There is a stone castle in Arizona that was built by one man. There are used auto parts, refrigerator plates, and broken tiles (碎瓦片) in the walls among the stones. The builder’s name was Boyce Gulley. He had promised his daughter that someday she would have a castle. When he died in 1945, she saw it for the first time. Today it is her home.Fred Burns built his house on the water in Belfast, Maine. He used driftwood (浮木), rusty nails, and leftover paint. He built it a little at a time until became a drifting, colorful house. He lives in his work of art with his ten dogs.David Brown built a house of bottles in British Columbia, Canada. He collected bottles from all his friends and cemented them together into thick walls. He figured half a million bottles went into his house. When he died, his son went right on building. Now there is even a bridge built of bottles in the yard.In the mountains of New York, Clarence Schmidt set out to build himself a log cabin（小木屋）. When it was fit to live in, Schmidt found that he couldn’t stop buildi ng. He kept adding to his house. Finally he had a seven-storey house with many rooms. All around the grounds Schmidt placed useless or old things that were interesting to him. Some of this he wrapped in tin foil (锡纸) so it would reflect the light. He painted some of his windows to look like stained glass. Schmidt’s neighbors weren’t happy with his house and his useless things. A fire burned that house down, the work of someone who didn’t understand him.Handmade houses are not always easy to find. The people who build them are often thought strange. Sometimes they hide themselves away. Jan Wampler, a teacher of architecture in Cambridge, Massachusetts, set out to find people who had put together their own houses. His book All Their Own: People and the Places They Build shows many such houses, some of which you have read about here.Wampler believes that what these “strange” people have done is what more people need to do. It feels good to put something of yourself into the walls around you. If you’re not allowed even to pound nails into those walls, you are being robbed. As an architect, Wampler would like to see people take part in the design of their homes. He would like to see housing projects planned and even built by the people who will live in them. He thinks that, like the builders he found across the country, people would care more about their homes if they helped make them.(660 words) Questions1.

Psychic ability is also not to be explained by any known laws. But since the beginning of modern civilization, man has always known of the existence of these unique powers.Egypt, Greece and RomeMan’s desire to study psychic development is nothing new. Through the centuries of time, man has attempted to understand this unusual phenomenon. The ancient Egyptians were strong believers in these unseen forces and devoted centuries of study to understand, develop and control them. They used various psychic development techniques to help them better know these mysterious forces. The Egyptians used dream scrying (以水晶球推算吉凶), astrology (占星术) and meditation (沉思). They also accepted rebirth as a fact of life. The Egyptians had several religious cults（祭拜仪式）devoted to understanding these psychic forces on a deeper level.The Greeks and Romans also had a strong interest in what we now call psychic development. They believed that you could use this knowledge to help yourself lead a better life. There were even “Mystery Schools” in Greece and Rome devoted to nothing but learning about spiritual and psychic development. In these Mystery Schools, they studied the Tarot (占卜用的纸牌,共二十二张), Numerology (命理学), Astrology and other forms of divination (占卜). In fact, the word “psychic” finds its origin from the Greek word “psychikos” meaning “of the soul and mind”.Common Psychic ExperiencesPsychic development uses our god-given sixth senses and is inherent in all of us. Therefore, learning how to develop and unlock this power is possible for everyone. Psychic development involves the uncovering and developing of your already existing abilities. Many people don’t even realize when t hey’ve had a psychic experience!Here are some common psychic experiences one may have on a daily basis are:- Knowing who is calling before answering the phone- Having a feeling about something that later proves to be correct- Dreaming something that actually happens later- Understanding the hidden purpose behind things that happen- Understanding other people’s true feelings without them having to express them- Knowing what someone is going to say before they say itIf you have experienced one or more of these experiences, it indicates the presence of strong psychic powers within. It is important to realize the presence of these psychic powers and to learn how to develop them using psychic development techniques. Ignoring or denying your psychic ability due to fear and doubt is not the right thing to do.Psychic development has responsibilities that should not be feared but welcomed. These natural god-given abilities won’t go away, even if they are disregarded! They are natural gifts which should be explored and welcomed. Although the journey of discovery requires practice andpatience, the end results will examine your efforts. You can learn to know the mysteries of life and understand what others mistakenly call the “unknown”.The Benefit of MeditationWhen you begin to take your first steps towards psychic development, the key is to remain calm and focused. Meditation helps with this to a great extent. Meditation can be used as a process of shutting out all worldly thoughts and going within. At first, some people find it is difficult to get into the practice of meditation. But meditation is very beneficial to the body, mind and soul of an individual.There are several approaches one can use to get into a meditative state. While sitting upright, make yourself comfortable and keep your spine straight. Then try a few of the following exercises: - Breath naturally while focusing on nothing but your breathing- Sit in a dimly lit room and focus your attention on a candle flame- Focus on a mental image in your mind- Continuously repeat the mantra (颂歌) “Ohm” while relaxing your bodyIn order to make much more benefits of the psychic development process, practice one of the above meditation techniques at least twice a day for a least 10 minutes each time.What You Will GainPsychic development techniques will help you to tap into the abilities already within yourself. In addition to the attainment (成就) of a deep sense of relaxation (放松) and peace of mind, psychic development will help to build up a new sense of confidence in yourself.InsightBy working on psychic development, it will provide clearness, focus and a new sense of purpose in your life. You will come to recognize your potential talents and develop them, realizing that these powers can be used for success, prosperity and the benefit of others.(751 words) True or False( ) 1.

Great British institutions have been polarized. Last week the might of English law delivered its verdict (裁决) at Southwark Crown Court where five members of the DPM graffiti crew were jailed—one, Andrew Gillman, for two years—after admitting conspiracy to cause criminal damage costing the taxpayer at least £1m.By contrast, just down the road, the riverside façade (正面) of Tate Modern had been covered in giant murals (壁画) by six urban artists with international reputations,including Blu from Bologna, Faile from New York, and Sixeart from Barcelona, in the first display of street art at a major museum.The courtroom and the museum were so close that supporters of the men on trial popped down to the Tate to do a bit of retouching during one lunchtime adjournment. “There is a huge irony in the juxtaposition(并列)of the two events,” said on e of the artists.The man to credit for bringing street art into established gallery spaces is Banksy. A few years ago he was sneaking his work into galleries such as the Louvre and Tate Britain. Now Tate Modern is selling his book in its gift shop. His works go for hundreds of thousands of pounds and he was recently featured in a retrospective exhibition alongside Andy Warhol.“London is to street art, at the start of the 21st century, what Paris was for Impressionism at the start of the 20th,” he says with unfeigned immodesty. “And yet we hate graffiti more than anywhere else in the world. England is by far and away the most draconian for punishments for what are only economic crimes.”A gallery in New York launches an exhibition next week based on the work of those convicted at Southwark. “DPM—Exhibit A”, at the Anonymous Gallery Project in SoHo, will display large photographs of the convicts' work alongside copies of their charge sheets to ask whether the men are criminals or artists.It is a question which prompts different answers in different parts of the world, says Cedar Lewinsohn, the curator (馆长) of the exhibition at Tate Modern. “Brazil for instance is more relaxed about it,” he says. “In parts of Australia, they are like the UK and people really hate graffiti and tags on vans and trains, but in Melbourne van drivers compete with each other as to whose is more decorated.”Street art, you see, is a highly polarising phenomenon. On the one hand there are those like the American artist Elura Emerald who insist that “artists who paint on the street are merely expressing themselves, not hurting anyone” and should not be punished “but appreciated and celebrated”. Then there are those like Judge Christopher Hardy who, in court in Southwark, described the activities of the DPM Crew as “a wholesale self-indulgent campaign to damage property on an industrial scale”.How is such a dichotomy (对立) to be resolved?“I suppose the greater the cost of removing the graffiti, the greater the punishment should be, tho ugh not prison,” says Bob, a street artist. This is not a million miles from Judge Hardy's verdict on the two-year spree in which the DPM Crew staged 120 night-time attacks on stations, trains and railway rolling stock in London, Somerset, Liverpool, Manchester, Sunderland, Paris, Amsterdam and the Czech Republic.The judge had little patience with Gillman's notion that “trains were like a moving canvas(画布)” on which to create something artistic and thought-provoking that made “commuters look up from their paper”.Judge Hardy admitted that “it would be wrong of me not to acknowledge that some examples of your handiwork show considerable artistic talent”,but he concluded, “the trouble is that it is has been sprayed all over other people's property without their consent and that is simply vandalism.” Over the two years the bill must have run into millions of pounds.If art is defined by the artist's intent then vandalism must be determined by the response of the owner of the thing vandalised. Peterborough City Council recently tried to find a compromise. It erected two 8ft by 4ft boards to allow artists there to express themselves freely. The trouble was that they were pulled down by vandals.(760 words) Questions:( ) 1. If you work in the local council's cleansing department, you may take graffiti as a kind of art form.( ) 2. Five members of the DPM graffiti crew were put into prison.( ) 3. The man to credit for bringing street art into established gallery spaces is Banksy.( ) 4. The work of those convicted at Southwark depicts the scenery of Scotland.( ) 5. In Australia, people hate graffiti and tags very much.( ) 6. Street art is a highly polarising phenomenon.( ) 7.
