The question of whether our government shoul d promote science and technol ogy or the liberal arts in higher education is not an either/ or proposition(命题)，although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technol ogy, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.The latest congressional report acknowl edges the critical importance of technical training, but also stresses that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central elements of American’s educational system at all levels. Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative lead ers, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the refl ection on the great id eas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects(前景) as technol ogical advances and changes in d omestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Und er this circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the probl em. “Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to empl oyment and success in the l ong run. Indeed, according to surveys, empl oyers have expressed a preference for stud ents who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.Moreover, students shoul d be prepared not just for their first job, but for their fourth and fifth jobs, as there is littl e reason to d oubt that people entering the workforce today will be call ed upon to play many different rol es over the course of their careers. The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexibl e. The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight-picked up from science, arts, and technol ogy- to solve the problems of the future, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States.8．What does the latest congressional report suggest?A．Higher education shoul d be adjusted to the practical needs of society.B．The liberal arts in higher education help enrich stud ents’ spiritual life.C．STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.D．The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.9．What does the author say about the so called soft subjects?A．They are essential to stud ents’ healthy growth.B．They improve stud ents’ communication skills.C．They broaden students range of interests.D．They benefit stud ents in their future life.10．What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?A．The academic value of the courses.B．Their interest in relevant subjects.C．Their chances of getting a good job.D．the quality of education to receive.11．What advice does the author give to college stud ents?A．Try to take a variety of practical courses.B．Prepare themselves for different job options.C．Ad opt a fl exible approach to solving problems.D．Seize opportunities to tap their potential.School Counseling（咨询）In our grandparents' time, it was unthinkable．In our parents' time, it was unusual and nobody spoke openly about counseling．These days, more and more schools are asking for this service and it is consid ered a necessity for most．Why is it? What has changed in the last fifty years to have mad e counseling at schools so important?“One reason is that we expect schools to d o more to protect their pupils than we did in the past," says school counselor, Mike Hudson．“ Also, our society d oesn't work as well as it should．Many parents are either und er pressure of work or face the economic problems of unempl oyment, whil e children are under more and more pressure to do well at school．Many pupils feel they are pushed to their limits by their parents and teachers．"Most school children face some kind of relationship problem at some stage with family members, teachers or other pupils, so．it helps to have somebody to talk to．From the pupil' s point of view, it is easier to talk to a counsel or in confidence rather than a family member or teacher．This solution is less embarrassing to pupils, who are not forced to face the person that they had problems with in the first place．They can calmly talkthings through without arguments．School counsel ors advise not only students but also their teachers and parents, and offer other services as well, such as deciding learning disabilities or assisting parents and guardians to make the correct decisions about their children' s education．Counsel ors can help stud ents with probl ems ranging from the most serious, like a death in the family, to what an adult would consider really trivial, like an argument with a friend．In a society that is becoming more and more stressful, this service is providing children with a supportive way to express their fear and worries．12．Why is school counseling becoming important?A．Pupils are not well protected in school．B．Parents can't help their children in learning．C．Parents and pupils are under too much pressure．D．The relationship between parents and schools is worse．13．According to the passage, school counselors________．A．bear high pressure themselvesB．are the guarantee of school successC．have more responsibilities than teachersD．are more likely to be accepted when pupils have problems14．The underlined word "trivial" in Para．5 probably means________．A．unimportant B．puzzlingC．difficult D．urgent15．What d oes the passage mainly talk about?A．The development of school counseling．B．The reaso ns for school counseling’s popularity．C．The advantages and disadvantages of school counseling．D．The comparison of the past and present school counseling．In America, when the eighth graders leave the mid dl e school, they are often worriedabout moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them, but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, stud ents need to get familiar with their school.Even though they’ve done this already in the mid dl e school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take stud ents to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grad e year. And, most schools also have a freshman (新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help stud ents and parents to find different places in the school.One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport. Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports. Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school. If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs all ow students from different grad es. By joining an activity, stud ents can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications (申请). The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them.What’s more, to have a great start to a high school year, students can write d own some of their worries, and ask for help from teachers and school workers.16．According to the text, most stud ents feel ________ when entering the high school. A．excited B．nervous C．lonely D．disappointed 17．Which of the foll owing is TRUE about the school clubs?A．There are fewer students from higher grades in the school clubs.B．The school clubs in high school only welcome sports fans.C．Summer activities begin before school starts.D．The school office can help new students join school clubs.18．When do many schools take students to visit their new high school?A．Before the eighth grade year starts.B．Right after the high school year starts.C．At the end of their eighth grad e year.D．At the beginning of the new term in the high school.19．What is the purpose of this text?A．To tell the new stud ents how to l earn in high school.B．To introduce new schools.C．To give the teachers some advice.D．To give advice to new high school students.You know Australia is a big country, but you may not know how easy it is to get around.

This innovative method uses strange and amusing stories to teach new vocabulary, increase fluency, and get students involved by giving them the opportunity to alter the details themselves. Because of the silliness, creativity, and repetition involved, TPRS all ows students to learn easily and remember information effortlesslyMemorizing vocabulary and listening to lectures on grammar are sl ow, inefficient ways to learn a new language. The best way to truly learn and commit new material to memory is through conversation. In our Spanish classes, students can expect to speak up to 80% of each class. By speaking in the new language freely and consistently, stud ents can see progress faster because they are using the new grammar and vocabulary that they have l earned at the same time. This helps the brain remember the new words and grammar structures for future use, making it much easier to progress.24．What d oes the program do?A．It offers weekly Spanish classesB．It focuses more on outd oor activitiesC．It gives teachers a chance to receive trainingD．It provides activities about the Spanish culture25．What is the best way to learn a language according to the text?A．Memorizing a larger vocabularyB．Speaking more in the new language.C．Mastering more grammar structuresD．Writing stories to share with others26．What is the purpose of the text?A．To empl oy experienced Spanish teacherB．To hire foreign volunteers for a programC．To attract teen foreigners to a programD．To introduce language l earning methodsIf a trip to Rome or Paris is in your future, be prepared: The European Union Parliament is calling for an end to visa-free travel Americans. EU lawmakers passed a resolution urging the EU Commission to impose (推行) visas on US citizens traveling into the 28-nation bl oc.The dispute (争论) centers on reciprocal treatment of travelers from EU nations and the United States. While Americans have been able to travel throughout EU member nations without a visa, the US still requires citizens of five EU countries—Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland and Romania—to apply for entry visas when visiting the US, Reuters reports. Citizens of the other 23 EU member nations can use the US visa waiver program to enter America. The EU lawmakers are calling for mutual treatment for all EU citizens, says Reuters. They've given the EU Commission two months to respond.The trans-Atlantic visa dispute first came to light in April 2014, according to an EU Parliament news rel ease. At that time, five countries—Australia, Brunei, Canada, Japan and the US—required visas for some EU citizens. Since then, Australia, Brunei and Japan have lifted their visa requirements for all EU citizens. Canada, which currently imposes visa requirements on Bulgarian and Romanian citizens, plans to foll ow suit in next December, leaving just the United States at odds with the issue of reciprocity of visa-free travel with the EU.The EU says if a visa requirement for Americans is introduced, it would be temporary, according to a story in Money, which did not give a time frame.27．Which of the foll owing can replace the und erlined word “reciprocal” in Paragraph 2? A．Cruel. B．Equal.C．Unfair. D．Different.28．Which countries have removed visa requirements for all EU citizens according to the text? A．Australia, Brunei and Japan.B．Australia, Brunei, Canada and Japan.C．Brunei, Canada, Japan and America.D．Australia, Brunei, Canada, Japan and America.29．What may be the best title for the text?A．Americans may soon need a visa for traveling to EuropeB．Americans are limiting the EU citizens to enter AmericaC．The EU citizens can go to America for traveling without visasD．The EU government asks for visa requirement from AmericansIn 2016, China released guidelines forbid ding weird(古怪的) construction, shifting their focus to the “economic, green and beautiful”. Now a new plan certainly fits the bill—Liuzhou Forest City, designed by the Italian firm Stefano Boeri Architetti, will be under construction in southern China.The 175-hectare, self-contained neighborhood will contain more than 70 buildings—including homes, hospitals, hotels, schools and offices—all of which will be covered with 40, 000 trees and almost a million plants.This is the first experiment of the urban environment that's really trying to find a balance with nature.The id ea behind the project is to combine as many plants with the architecture as possible. The plants are expected to absorb almost 10, 000 tons of carbon dioxid e and 57 tons of pollutants per year, and produce 900 tons of oxygen a year, while also decreasing the air temperature and providing a new habitat for displaced wildlife. Solar panels(控制板) on the roofs will collect renewable energy to power the buildings.The project comes on the heels of Stefano Boeri Architetti's Vertical Forest, tworesid ential towers in Milan covered in the equivalent(等同物) of five acres of forest.“We started to imagine if it was possibl e to create an urba n environment by planting many trees in the city, ”Boeri said. China, in his eyes, provided the perfect background for such an ambitious project.But the project's completion is a long way off.Construction is set to begin in 2020.Boeri said there is still a lot of planning and research required before a projected compl etion date can be set. He remains, however, optimistic about the project, and confident about its aim. “I really think that bringing forests into the city is a way to reduce climate change, ”h e said. 30．What can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?A．A ban will be stopped quickly.B．An Italian company will pay for the new plan.C．A new neighborhood will satisfy the guidelines.D．All strange buildings in China have been torn d own.31．What benefit will this project bring about?A．Purifying the air around. B．Controlling the climate of the area. C．Providing habitats for all the wildlife. D．Supplying solar energy to the world. 32．Which of the foll owing can replace the und erlined part in Paragraph 4?A．Looks like. B．Foll ows. C．Differs from. D．Equals. 33．What is the text mainly about?A．A future forest city. B．Liuzhou's devel opment.C．China's city-building policy. D．How to change a city's climate.Smartphones, tablets and smart watches are banned (禁止) at school for all children under 15 in France. Und er the ban students are not abl e to use their phones at all during school hours, including meal breaks.“I think it’s a good thing. School is not about being on your phone,” Paris mumMarie-Caro line Madel eine tol d AFP. “It’s hard with kids. You can’t control what they see and that’s one of the things that worry me as a parent.”There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools have banned phones.McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success.McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day-to-day l earning but they’re not all owed to use social media. Ms Binnion said at first“teachers cheered and students moaned (抱怨) ,” but now they’re seeing the advantages. “They come to school and they’re not all owed to use phones at all during the school day, including lunch breaks,” she said.“It’s been wond erful in terms of students comm unicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,” she said.Ms Binnion also leads by exampl e and doesn’t use her mobile phone in school. “I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it.”Not everyone agrees with the bans. Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr Joanne Orland o wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools because it’s important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in.“A good education fo r students today is knowing how to use technol ogy to learn, communicate and work with ideas,” she wrote. “Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response to a 2018 state-of-play.”34．Why did Madeleine welcome the ban?A．School is for studying. B．Kids behave badly nowadays. C．Teachers find it hard to control kids. D．Her kids depend too much on phones. 35．What can we learn about the ban in McKinnon Secondary School?A．Some teachers were against it at first.B．Students can now see the good of the ban.C．Students can use their phones at lunch beaks.D．Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well.36．What d oes the underlined word “Chromebook” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A．A book. B．A notebook.C．A learning website. D．A kind of computer.37．What d oes Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schools?A．It will disconnect parents and kids. B．It will cause kids to communicate less. C．It will prevent kids being tech-minded. D．It will make education go back 60 years.On the day the tornad o(龙卷风) hit, there was no sign fierce weather was on its way— the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first warning my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-fl oor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the national television to our local Pensacola, Fl orida, station.Soon the tornad o was on top of us. It was the l oudest thing I have ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. And the wind began to roar(咆哮) through the house, most likely through bl own-out wind ows and the door to our garage. Everything was moving. And the back wall of the house came off and fl ew into the darkness outsid e. We had three flights of steps to get to the storeroom d own there, the relative safety of the first floor.I didn’t know how or if we woul d make it d own the steps. It felt as if there were no fl oor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. As we finally reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Sudd enly, a three-foot-long tree branch flew over our heads, missing us by inches.By the time I reached the storeroom, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me d own to the storeroom floor, but he couldn’t g et inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy’s arm as the tornad o blew the d oor open. My knees were full of glass, but I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have fl own right out the back of the house.All of a sud den, Jimmy lifted off his feet. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely d estroyed. Amazingly, none of us were seriously injured. 38．Where did the couple l earn about the coming fierce weather?A．From the dark sky. B．From the national station.C．From the l ocal news report. D．From the text sent by their neighbors. 39．What can we infer from paragraph 2 about the couple?A．They were hit by a tree branch. B．They tried to get out of the house.

During that time theonly true friend was her diary. She said, “I don ’t want to set down a series of facts indiary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty. ”Now read h o f w e l t s a h f e t e r being in the hiding place since July 1942.Thursday 15, June, 1944Dear kitty,I wonder if it ’s because I haven ’t been able to be outdoors for so long that Iso crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was atime when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That ’s changed since I was here.⋯For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half pasteleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. Butas the moon gave far too much light, I didn ’t dare open a window. Another time somemonths ago, I happened t o be upstairs one evening when the window was open. Ididn ’g t o downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, thewind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I ’d seen the night face to face ⋯⋯Sadly⋯I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before verydusty windows.

Later in the next century, people from Englandmade voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English beganto be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first,second or foreign language than ever before.Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don ’t speak the samkind of English. Look at this example:British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?American Amy: Yes, I ’d like to come up to your apartment.So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and developwhen cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English spoken inEngland between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Thengradually between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German becausethose who ruled England spoken first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’sShakespeare wasable to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British peoplewere taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries.Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later NoahWebster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. Forexample, India has a very large number of fluent English speakersbecauseBritainruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language forgovernment and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia andcountries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning Englishin China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of Englishlearners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTSWhat is standard English? Is it spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia,India and New Zealand? Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard English.Many people believe the English spoken on TV and the radio is standard English.This is because in the early days of radio, those who reported the news were expectedto speak excellent English. However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences inthe way people speak.When people use words and expressions different form “standard language ”, itcalled a dialect. American English has many dialects, especially the midwestern,southern, African American and Spanish dialects. Even in some parts of the USA, two people from neighbouring towns speak a little differently. American English has somany dialects because people have come from all over the world.Geography also plays a part in making dialects. Some people who live in themountains of the eastern U SA speak with an older kind of English dialect. WhenAmericans moved form one place to another, they took their dialects with them. Sopeople from the mountains in the southeasternUSA speak with almost the samedialect as people in the northwestern USA. The USA is a large country in which manydifferent dialects are spoken. Although many Americans move a lot, they still recognize and understand each other ’s dialects.第三单元Travel journalJOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG PART 1 THEDREAM AND THE PLANMy name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and Ihave dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensivemountain bike and then she persuaded m e to buy one. Last year, she visited ourcousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai and grew upin western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river thatis called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got them interested incycling too. After graduating from college.we finally got the chance to take a bike trip.I asked my sister, "Where are we going?" It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends. Now sheis planning our schedule for the trip.I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be reallystubborn. Although she didn't know the best way of getting to places, she insisted thatshe organize the trip properly. Now, I know that the proper way is always her way. Ikept asking her, "When are we leaving and when are we coming back?" I asked herwhether she had looked at a map yet. Of course, she hadn't; my sister doesn't careabout details. So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. Shegave me a determined look—the kind that said she would not change her mind. WhenI told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, sheseemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and itwould be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sisterwell. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in.Several months before our trip,Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found alarge atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography. From the atlas wecould see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a Tibetan mountain. At first theriver is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly. Itbecomesrapids as it passesthrough deep valleys, travelling across w estern YunnanProvince. Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall and enters wide valleys. We wereboth surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China and thehigh altitude,the Mekong becomes wide，brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders t hrough low valleys to the plains where rice grows. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONGPART 2 A NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINSAlthough it was autumn, the snow was already beginning to fall in Tibet.Our legswere so heavy and cold that they felt like blocks of ice. Have you ever seen snowmenride bicycles? That's what we looked like! Along the way children dressed i n longwool coats stopped to look at us. In the late afternoon we found it was so cold that ourwater bottles froze.However,the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and lookedwonderful.Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual.She is very reliable and I knew Idid't need to encourage her.To climb the mountains was hard work but as we looked around us,we were surprised by the view.We seemed to be able to see for miles.At onepoint we were so high that we found ourselves cycling through clouds.Then we began going down the hills.It was great fun especially as it gradually became much warmer.In the valleys colourful butterflies flew around us and we saw many yaks and sheep eating green grass.At this point we had to change our caps,coats,glovesand trousers for T-shirts and shorts.In the early evening we always stop to make camp.We put up our tent and then weeat.After supper Wang Wei put her head down on her pillow and went to sleep but Istayed awake.At midnight the sky became clearer and the stars grew brighter. It wasso quiet.There was almost no wind-only the flames of our fire for company.As I laybeneath the stars I thought about how far we had already travelled.We will reach Dali in Yunnan Province soon,where our cousins Dao Wei and Yu Hangwill join us.We can hardly wait to see them!Unit 4 EarthquakesA NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN'T SLEEPStrange t hings were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei.For threedays the water in the village wells rose and fell,rose and fell.Farmers noticed that thewell walls had deep cracks in them.A smelly gas came out of the cracks.In thefarmyards,the chickens and even the pigs were too nervois to eat.Mice ran out of thefields looking for places to hide.Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds.At about3:00 am on july 28,1976,some people saw bright lights in the sky.The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky.Inthe city,the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst.but the one million people of the city,whothiught little of these events,were asleep as usual that night.At 3:42 am everything began to shake.It seemed as if the world was at anend!Elevenkilometres directly below the city the greatest earthquake of the 20thcentury had begun.It was felt in Beijing,which is more than two hundredkilometresaway.One-third of the nation felt it.A huge crack that was eight kilometreslong and thirty metres wide cut across houses,roads and canals.Steam burst from holesin the ground.Hard hills of rock became rivers of dir.In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins.The suffering of the people was extreme.Two-thirds of them died orwere left without parents.The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000.But how could the survivors believe it was natural?Everywhere they lookednearly everything was destroyed.All of the city's hospitals,75%of its factories andbuildings and 90% of its homes were gone.Bricks covered the ground like red autumnleaves.Nowind,however,could blow them away.Two dams fell and most of the bridgesalso fell or were not safe for travelling.The railway tracks were now useless pieces ofsteel.Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again.Half a million oigs andmillions of chickens were dead.Sand now filled the wells instead of water.People wereshocked.Then,laterthat afternoon,anotherbig quake which was almost as strong asthe first one shook Tangshan.Some of the rescue workersand doctors were trappedunder the ruins.More buildings fell down.Water,food,and electricity were hard toget.peoplebegab to wonder how long the disaster would last.All hope was not lost.Soon after the quakes,the a rmy sent 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers.Hundreds of thousands of people werehelped.The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead.To the north of the city,most of the 10,000 miners were rescued from the coal mines there.Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed.Freshwater was taken to the city butrain,truck and plane.Slowly,the city began to breathe again.Office of the City GovernmentTangshan,HebeiChinaJuly5,2007Dear____,Congratulations!We are pleased to tell you that you have won the high schoolspeaking competition about new Tangshan.

I am a poor black worker in South Africa. The time when I first metNelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It wasin 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offeredguidance to poor black people on their legal problems. He was generous with his time,for which I was grateful.I needed his help because I had very little education. I began school at six. The schoolwhere I studied for only two years was three kilometers away. I had to leave becausemy family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not reador write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this was a timewhen one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have itbecauseI was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out ofwork.The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest. He told my how toget the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful aboutmy future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized the ANC YouthLeague, I joined it as soon as I could. He said:“The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights andprogress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.It was the truth. Black people could not vote or choose their leaders. They could not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in which they had to live were decided bywhite people. The places outside the towns where they were sent to live were the poorest parts of South Africa. No one could grow food there. In fact as Nelson Mandela said:“⋯we were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were lessimportant or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke the lawin a way whic h was peaceful; when this was not allowed ⋯only then did we decide toanswer violence with violence.As a matter of fact, I do not like violence ⋯but in 1963 I helped him blow up some government buildings. It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put inprison. But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream ofmaking black and white people equal.THE REST OF ELIAS' STORYYou cannot imagine how the name of Robben Island made us afraid. It was a prisonfrom which no one escaped. There I spent the hardest time of my life. But when I gotthere Nelsom Mandela was also there and he helped me. Mr Mandela began a schoolfor those of us who had little learning. He taught us during the lunch breaks and theevenings when we should have been asleep. We read books under our blankets andused anything we could find to make candles to see the words. I became a goodstudent. I wanted to study for my degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later, MrMandela allowed the prison guards to join us. He said they should not be stopped from studying for their degrees. They were not cleverer than me , but they did passtheir exams. So I knwe I could get a degree too. That made me feel good about myself.When I finished the four years in prison, I went to find a job. Since I was bettereducated, I got a job working in an office. However, the police found out and told myboss that I had been in prinson for blowing up government buildings. So I lost my job.I did not work again for twenty years until M r Mandela and the ANC came to power in 1994. All that time my wife and children had to beg for good and help fromrelatives or friends. Luckily Mr Mandela remembered me and gave me a job takingtourists around my old prison on RobbenIslannd. I felt bad the first time I talked to agroup. All the terror and fear of that time came back to me. I remembered the beatingsand the cruelty of the guards and my friends who had died. I felt I would not be ableto do it, but my family encouraged me. They said that the job and the pay from thenew South African government were my reward after working all my life for equalrights for the Blacks. So now at 51 I am proud to show visitors over the prison, for Ihelped to make our people free in their own land.。
