A Tale of Two Cities(excerpt)In the part of Paris called Saint Antoine everyone was poor.The streets were narrow and dirty,the food shops were almost empty.The faces of the children looked old already,because they were so hungry.In the wine shop of Monsieur Defarge there were not many customers and Defarge was outside,talking to a man in the street.His wife,Madame Defarge,sat inside the shop,knitting and watching.Defarge came in and his wife looked at him,then turned her eyes to look at two new customers,a man of about sixty and a young lady.Defarge went over to speak to them,suddenly kissed the young lady's hand,and led them out of the back of the shop.They followed him upstairs,many stairs,until they reached the top.Defarge took a key out of his pocket.“Why is the door locked?”asked Mr. Lorry in surprise.“He is a free man now.”“Because he has lived too long behind a locked door,”replied Defarge angrily.“He is afraid if the door is not locked!That is one of the things they have done to him.”“I'm afraid,too,”whispered Miss. Manette.Her blue eyes looked worriedly at Mr. Lorry.“I am afraid of him—my father.”Defarge made a lot of noise as he opened the door.Mr. Lorry and Lucie went into the room behind him.A thin,whitehaired man was sitting on a wooden seat.He was very busy,making shoes.“Good day,”said Defarge“You are still working hard,I see.”After a while they heard a whisper,“Yes,I am still working.”“Come,”said Defarge.“You have a visitor.Tell him your name.”“My name?”came the whisper,“One Hundred and Five,North Tower.”Mr. Lorry moved closer to the old man.“Dr Manette,don't you remember me,Jarvis Lorry?”he asked gently.The old prisoner looked up at Mr. Lorry,but there was no surprise,no understanding in his tired face,and he went back to work making shoes.双城记(节选)在巴黎的一个名叫圣安东尼的地方,所有的人都很穷。
Section ⅤWriting——人物传记[文体指导]人物传记是记载人物生平事迹的一种文体。

(3)重要事件开头法:先点出人物生平最重要的事迹,或者他身上最显著的特点。
接着展开介绍人物;可以继续按照从重要到次要排列介绍人物的其他事迹,也可以接着用第一种方法,即按照时间顺序继续展开。
2.正文(1)直叙法:按照人物生卒年月的顺序,依次列举人物较有代表性的事迹。
(2)倒叙法:采用由近到远的时间顺序,叙述人物的生平。

3.结尾(1)直接结束法:以人物的卒年或者距离现在最近的一个事件直接结束文章。
(2)评论结束法:根据上文叙述,加入作者对人物的看法和评价。

姓名,年级:时间:现在,交通拥挤是个全球性的问题,为了解决这个问题就需要我们首先了解交通拥挤是怎么形成的。
Nowadays traffic conge。
stion(拥挤,阻塞) is a big problem inmost of our cities. Have you got any ideas about what has broughtabout this?There are many causes for this problem, but the following may be the most important ones.The first cause is the great increase in the number of private cars。
Cars take up more space but they carry fewer people. Some private car drivers, ignoring traffic regulations, drive only for the sake of their own convenience, blocking the way of other public transportation vehicles. The second cause is the slow and inefficient construction and improvement of the roads and streets. With a large population and numbers of automobiles increasing, some roads still remain unimproved, which will surely lead to problems。
The last cause is the insufficient(不足的)management of the traffic system and the people’s lack of awareness of trafficrules。

【导读】 雾都孤儿“Oliver Twist”,是英国作家查尔斯·狄更斯的作品。
它以伦敦为背景,讲述了一个孤儿悲惨的身世及遭遇,最后在善良人的帮助下,查明了身世并获得了幸福。
Oliver Twist(excerpt)
“Wolves tear your throats!”muttered Sikes,grinding his teeth.“I wish I was among some of you; you'd howl the hoarser for it.”
As Sikes growled forth this imprecation,with the most desperate ferocity that his desperate nature was capable of,he rested the body of the wounded boy across his bended knee;and turned his head,for an instant,to look back at his pursuers.
There was little to be made out,in the mist and darkness;but the loud shouting of men vi brated through the air,and the barking of the neighbouring dogs,roused by the sound of the alarm bell,resounded in every direction.
“Stop,you whitelivered hound!”cried the robber,shouting after Toby Crackit, who,making the best use of his long legs,was already ahead.“Stop!”
The repetition of the word, brought Toby to a dead standstill.For he was not quite satisfied that he was beyond the range of pistolshot;and Sikes was in no mood to be played with.
“Bear a hand with the boy,”cried Sikes,beckoning furiously to his confederate.“Come back!”
雾都孤儿(节选)
“让狼咬断你们的脖子!”赛克斯小声地说,牙齿咬得格格直响。
“有朝一日你们谁也躲不掉,你们会把嗓子喊得更哑的。
”
赛克斯骂骂咧咧地把这一番诅咒发泄出来,脸上那副不顾死活的样子充分体现了他的那种不顾死活的脾气。
他把受伤的奥立弗横放在自己的膝盖上,回过头去看看后面的追兵。
夜黑雾浓,什么东西也辨别不出来,只有嘈杂喧闹的呼喊声在空中震响,邻近的狗被告急的钟声惊醒,此呼彼应地吠叫起来,四下里响成一片。
“站住,你这个胆小鬼!”这个强盗见托比·格拉基特撒开两条长腿,已经
抢在了前边,便厉声喝道。
“站住!”
听到第二声吆喝,托比猝然停了下来。
他还不敢肯定自己已经脱离了手枪的射程,赛克斯可是根本没有心思闹着玩的。
“帮忙把这小子弄走,”赛克斯杀气腾腾地向同伙打了个手势。
“回来!”
Toby made a show of returning;but ventured,in a low voice,broken for want of breath,to intimate considerable reluctance as he came slowly along.
“Quicker!”cried Sikes, laying the boy in a dry ditch at his feet, and drawing a pistol from his pocket.“Don't play booty with me.”
At this moment the noise grew louder.Sikes,again looking round,could discern that the men who had given chase were already climbing the gate of the field in which he stood;and that a couple of dogs were some paces in advance of them.
托比做出一副要折回来的样子,慢吞吞地朝这边走来,却大着胆子表示自己老大不情愿回去,声音不大,又因为喘气,说得断断续续。
“快些!”赛克斯叫道,他把奥立弗放在脚下一条干枯的水沟里,从衣袋里拔出一支手枪。
“别跟我耍滑头。
”
就在这时,喧闹声变得更嘈杂了。
赛克斯又一次扭头看了看,可以断定追兵正在爬他所处的这一片田野的篱笆门,有两只狗跑在前面。
