UNIT5TESTA克里夫·杨，令人意想不到的英雄1 澳大利亚一年一度的悉尼至墨尔本的马拉松比赛全长875公里，被认为是世界上最艰难的马拉松赛事之一，对任何年龄段的世界顶尖运动员来说都是一项严酷的耐力考验。
体能超好的年轻选手在赛前要进行数月的训练，而且还和像耐克和阿迪达斯这样著名的赞助商签约，这些赞助商通过强大的资金和装备支持机制为选手提供资助和装备。
这项比赛历时七天，即使对那些为荣誉和奖金而赛的世界一流运动员来说，这项比赛也是对体能和力量的严峻考验。
2 1983年比赛那一天，克里夫·杨，一个牙齿已全部脱落的61岁的农民业余选手也来参加比赛。
他脚穿橡胶靴，年龄也比其他选手大得多。
没有人注意到这个外表古怪的老头，他就跟个隐身人差不多。
聚集的人群以为克里夫只是来观看比赛的。
当克里夫明确表示自己是来参赛的时候，他周围的世界级选手先是表示出明显的怀疑，继而予以鄙视。
显然，人们认为这只是媒体的炒作而已。
3 但是媒体记者颇为好奇，所以当克里夫领好自己的参赛号码，走进配备昂贵的特殊装备的参赛选手队伍时，镜头对准了他，聚集的记者们向他抛来一个又一个问题。
他们问：“你是谁？”“你来做什么？”4 “我是克里夫·杨。
我来自墨尔本郊外的一个大农场，我们在那里养羊。
”5 他们接着问道：“你为什么认为自己有能力参加这项比赛？跑完全程要花一周的时间，而且每晚的睡眠不足六个小时。
”6克里夫回答道：“我放羊时每一次都要跑上两三天。
这项比赛只是需要再多花几天而已。
我相信我可以做到。
”7 很快，马拉松比赛开始了，年轻的运动员把克里夫远远地甩在了后面。
人们笑了，有些人还大声地笑，因为克里夫甚至连跑步的姿势都不正确。
他跑步的样子怪极了，因为他似乎是在拖着脚走。
随着比赛的进行，体育解说员和观众们的注意力都放到了那些领先的选手身上。
想象一下第二天早上看到新闻报道说克里夫还在比赛的队伍里时，人们有多么惊奇！不仅如此，他还彻夜未眠，一直在跑。

It can only hold two people.. It’s difficult to slow down.. It’s open to bad weather conditions.The Lightning Bug:. It’s very small.. It’s difficult to get in and out.8Reference answersStudent A: The Horseless Sulky was invented by an Italian in the 1930s. it is easy to turn and can go up to 190 kilometers per hour. It is also easy to get into and out of the Horseless Sulky. And it is easy to see things both on the left and on the right.Student B: The Lightning Bug was invented by an American in the 1930s.

In 2000, only in New York State did more than 10 percent of workers spend more than an hour getting to work. Now that situation can be found in several other states as well. Two pint eight million people have so called extreme commutes because they spend more than 90 minutes on their way to work.Steven, an electrical engineer, has an extreme commute between home and work. He learves home before dawn and returns after dark, but as tiring or boring as Stevens trip may sound, he says it’s the way to keep the home and jo he loves. “I have the balance right now,” Steven said. “I could do similar jobs closer, but not with the work rewards and job satisfaction I have now. and I could live closer, but I wouldn’t have the lifestyle that I desire.”Longer commutes frequently involve people who live at one end of the city and work at another. Such a pattern probably begins with companies moving away from the city center, attracting workers to move to less expensive areas further away from the city center. People see this as an opportunity because such aove may provide more affordable housing or better schools. Steven spends about $185 a week on gas. Even high fuel costs can pay off in a better quality of life.Added to long commutes are increased traffic jams, however. Comuters typically spend 47 hours a year in traffic jams, up from 40 hours a decade earlier.Q1: How much time on average do Americans spend on their way to work?Q2: What is the present situation about Americans’ commuting t work?Q3: why does Steven choose to have an extreme commute?Q4: Which of the following is the disadvantage of long commutes?Answers1C 2A 3D 4APassage 2Scripts and answersHumans’ first means of transportation were walking and swimming. 1)Gradually, humans learned to use animals for transportation. The use of animals not only allowed heavier loads to be hauled by them, but also 2)enabled humans to ride the animals so they could travel longer distances in a shorter amount of time. The invention of the wheel helped make animal transportation more efficient through the introduction of 3)vehicles. Also, water transportation 4)dates back to very early times and it was the best way to move large quantities of materials over long distances before the Industrial Revolution. 5)As a result, most cities that grew up as sites for trading have been established along rivers or the coast.Until the Industrial Revolution, transportation was very slow and expensive. After the Revolution, transportation changed 6)thoroughly. In the 19th century, the invention of the steam engine made land transportation independent of human or animal power. Both speed and 7)capacity increased rapidly.With the development of cars at 8)turn of the 20th century, land transportation became more common. In 1903, the first controllable airplane was invented, and after world War I, it became a fast way to transport people and goods. After World War II, 9)automobiles and airplanes became more popular as methods of transportation. Then, after high-speed rail was first introduced in Japan in 1964, passengers started using it in Asia and Europe instead of using airplanes to travel long distances.Now, 10)thanks to the development of technology, human beings are able to enjoy various methods of transportation for their speed and comfort.。
孔子是中国历史上著名的思想家、教育家，是儒家学派（Confucianism）的创始人，被尊称为古代的"圣人"（sage）。
他的言论和生平活动记录在《论语》（The Analects）一书中。
《论语》是中国古代文化的经典著作，对后来历代的思想家、文学家、政治家产生了很大影响。
不研究《论语》，就不能真正把握中国几千年的传统文化。
孔子的很多思想，尤其是其教育思想，对中国社会产生了深远的影响。
在21世纪的今天，孔子的学说不仅受到中国人的重视，而且也越来越受到整个国际社会的重视。
Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient "sage". His words and life story were recorded in The Analects. An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analects has had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius. Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years' traditional Chinese culture. Much of Confucius' thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society. In the 21st century, Confucian thought not only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it also wins an increasing attention from the international community.Unit2翻译：每年农历（Chinese lunar Calendar）八月十五是中国的传统节日—中秋节(the Mid-autumn festival)。

He is a mysterious figure known chiefly through the accounts of later classical writers, especially the writings of his most famous student Plato. Socrates has become well known for his contribution to the field of ethics. His method of teaching, known as the Socratic Method, by asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to explain ideas remains a commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions. He also made important and lasting contributions to the field of epistemology (认识论) and logic, and the influence of his ideas and approach remains a strong foundation for Western philosophy that followed. Socrates was the most colorful figure in the history of ancient philosophy. His fame was widespread in his own time, and his name soon became a household word although he constructedno philosophical system, established no school, and founded no sect (宗派).苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。
UNIT5TESTA克里夫杨，令人意想不到的英雄1澳大利亚一年一度的悉尼至墨尔本的马拉松比赛全长875公里，被认为是世界上最艰难的马拉松赛事之一，对任何年龄段的世界顶尖运动员来说都是一项严酷的耐力考验。
体能超好的年轻选手在赛前要进行数月的训练，而且还和像耐克和阿迪达斯这样著名的赞助商签约，这些赞助商通过强大的资金和装备支持机制为选手提供资助和装备。
这项比赛历时七天，即使对那些为荣誉和奖金而赛的世界一流运动员来说，这项比赛也是对体能和力量的严峻考验。
2 1983年比赛那一天，克里夫杨，一个牙齿已全部脱落的61岁的农民业余选手也来参加比赛。
他脚穿橡胶靴，年龄也比其他选手大得多。
没有人注意到这个外表古怪的老头，他就跟个隐身人差不多。
聚集的人群以为克里夫只是来观看比赛的。
当克里夫明确表示自己是来参赛的时候，他周围的世界级选手先是表示出明显的怀疑，继而予以鄙视。
显然，人们认为这只是媒体的炒作而已。
3但是媒体记者颇为好奇，所以当克里夫领好自己的参赛号码，走进配备昂贵的特殊装备的参赛选手队伍时，镜头对准了他，聚集的记者们向他抛来一个又一个问题。
他们问：你是谁？”你'来做什么？”4我是克里夫杨。
我来自墨尔本郊外的一个大农场，我们在那里养羊。
”5他们接着问道：你为什么认为自己有能力参加这项比赛？跑完全程要花一周的时间，而且每晚的睡眠不足六个小时。
”6克里夫回答道：我放羊时每一次都要跑上两三天。
这项比赛只是需要再多花几天而已。
我相信我可以做到。
”7很快，马拉松比赛开始了，年轻的运动员把克里夫远远地甩在了后面。
人们笑了，有些人还大声地笑，因为克里夫甚至连跑步的姿势都不正确。
他跑步的样子怪极了，因为他似乎是在拖着脚走。
随着比赛的进行，体育解说员和观众们的注意力都放到了那些领先的选手身上。
想象一下第二天早上看到新闻报道说克里夫还在比赛的队伍里时，人们有多么惊奇！不仅如此，他还彻夜未眠，一直在跑。
而且，看起来他决意要一直跑到终点，或一直跑到病倒或受伤为止，这正是许多观众现在开始担心的事情。

I think teamwork, fair play and honesty, and excellence in performance best characterize thespirit of sports.. teamwork: Individuals can be strong on their own, but they can be much stronger in a team game.. fairpaly and honesty: Respect the rules of the fame.

获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）是20世纪70年代末在美国发现的。
自那时以来，艾滋病已夺走了20.4万多美国人的生命——其中有一半是在过去几年中丧生的。
此外，在100万感染艾滋病病毒的人当中有18.5万人也将在一年内死亡。
被诊断感染艾滋病病毒的人当中有一半是黑人和来自拉丁美洲的美国人。
南部农村社区的妇女和青年是数量增长最快的艾滋病患者群体。
尽管数量大得惊人，但联邦和各州政府在实施防止艾滋病蔓延的计划方面行动迟缓。
鉴于政府行动不力，许多地方性组织便应运而生了。
南卡罗来纳艾滋病教育网络机构成立于1985年，目的在于防止艾滋病病例数量的增加。
和许多地方性组织一样，该组织缺乏资金，这迫使它创造性地使用其资源。
为接触更多的社区居民，有些艾滋病教育计划在美发店实施。
美发店老板在顾客进来时向他们散发艾滋病资料，在他们等着头发晾干时，向他们放映有关预防艾滋病的录像片。
她还在店里放一些书籍和其他出版物，供顾客等候时阅读。
她在工作的同时使许许多多人受到了教育，这一点着实让人赞叹。
最近，这一教育网络机构已开始帮助整个美国东南部的发型设计师们在他们的美发店里实施类似计划。
他们也是向学校、社区组织和教堂传播信息的有价值的资源。
这一组织还总结出了一些对其他从事同样工作的团体颇有裨益的方法。
尽管还没有一种能战胜艾滋病的方法，但这一网络机构在与艾滋病斗争中获得了以下经验：以社区居民能接受的方式与他们交谈。
许多社区的居民受教育比例低，这使得向他们散发艾滋病资料、希望他们自己阅读这一做法不切实际。
为解决这一问题，需要请一些善于绘画的人来编写适合于教育程度低的居民阅读的艾滋病教育图书。
这些书采用简单的、手工绘制的“忧伤的脸”和“幸福的脸”等图画，说明防止感染艾滋病的方法。
这些书也展示一些看上去同那些需要接受教育的人很相似的图片。
当居民们看到熟悉的面孔和能够理解的语言时，就会发表更多的议论和看法。
这样一来，这些书在使用它们的社区里所产生的影响要比政府出版的书产生的影响大，而政府出版的书籍成本要高出数千美元。
