高中英语选择性必修一课文原文和翻译unit1This year’s Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou (co-winner), whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin, a crucial new treatment for malaria. Artemisinin has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and has led toimproved health for millions of people. Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year, and about 600, 000 die from it. Artemisinin has become a vital part of the treatment for malaria, and is thought to save 100, 000 lives a year in Africa alone.Tu Youyou, a committed and patient scientist, was born in Ningbo, China, on 30 December 1930, and graduated fromPeking University Medical School in 1955. After she graduated, she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing. In 1967, the Chinese government formed a team of scientists with the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria, and Tu Youyou was among the first researchers chosen. In the beginning, Tu Youyou went to Hainan, where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients. In 1969, she became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease. Her team examined over 2, 000 old medical texts, and evaluated 280, 000 plants for their medical properties. From their research, they discovered and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria.One medical text from the fourth century suggested using the extract from sweet wormwood to treat a fever. Tu’s team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves but found no effect. They then tried boilingfresh wormwood, and using the liquid obtained from this to treat malaria, but this did not work either. Their project got stuck. However, Tu Youyou would not acknowledge defeat. She analysed the medical texts again, and by chance, she found one sentence suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood. She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood apparentlydestroyed its medical properties. Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract, she found a substance that worked. After failing more than 190 times, the team finally succeeded in 1971. Tu Youyou and her team members even insisted on testing the medicine on themselves to make surethat it was safe. Later, the medicine was tested on malaria patients, most of whom recovered. This medicine，which was called artemisinin, soon became a standard treatment for malaria.According to Tu Youyou, the discovery of artemisinin was a team effort. Upon hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize, she said, “The honour is not just mine. There is a team behind me, and all the people of my country. This success proves the great value of traditional Chinese m edicine. It is indeed an honour for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world.”屠呦呦获诺贝尔奖今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予了屠呦呦(共同获奖者)，她的研究促使了青蒿素的发现。

ANNE'S BEST FRIENDDo you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend.Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II. Her family was Jewish so they had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family hid away for nearly 25 months before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, "I don't want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty." Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942.Thursday 15th, June, 1944Dear Kitty,I wonder if it's because I haven't been able to be outdoors for so long that I've grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time 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, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn't dare open a window.Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open. I didn't go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, 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 very dusty windows. It's no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before.Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don't speak the same kind 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 develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English spoken in England between about A.D. 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present.Then gradually between about A.D. 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600's Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were 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 Noah Webster 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. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. 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 expected to speak excellent English. However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak.When people use words and expressions different from "standard language", it is called 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 so many dialects because people have come from all over the world.Geography also plays a part in making dialects. Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern USA speak with an older kind of English dialect. When Americans moved from one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same dialect as people in the northwestern USA. The USA is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken. Although many Americans move a lot, they still recognize and understand each other's dialects.高中人教版必修一——Unit3JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONGPART 1 THE DREAM AND THE PLANMy name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got them interested in cycling 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 she is planning our schedule for the trip.I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn. Although she didn't know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organize the trip properly. Now, I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, "When are we leaving and when are we coming back?" I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course, she hadn't; my sister doesn't care about details.So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined look —the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, she seemed to be excitedabout it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. 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 a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography. From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a mountain in Qinghai Province. At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, travelling across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall and enters wide valleys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China and high altitude, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through 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 legs were so heavy and cold that they felt like blocks of ice. Have you ever seen snowmen ride bicycles? That's what we looked like! Along the way children dressed in long wool coats stopped to look at us. In the late afternoon we found it was so cold that our water bottles froze. However, the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and looked wonderful. Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual. She is very reliable and I knew I didn'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 one point 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, gloves and trousers for T-shirts and shorts.In the early evening we always stop to make camp. We put up our tent and then we eat. After supper Wang Wei put her head down on her pillow and went to sleep but I stayed awake. At midnight the sky became clearer and the stars grew brighter. It was so quiet. There was almost no wind —only the flames of our fire for company. As I lay beneath 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 Hang will join us. We can hardly wait to see them!高中人教版必修一——Unit4NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN'T SLEEPStrange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei. For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell, rose and fell. Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them. A smelly gas came out of the cracks. In the farmyards, the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat. Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide. Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds. At about 3:00 a.m. 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. In the city, the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst. But the one million people of the city, who thought little of these events, were asleep as usual that night.At 3:42 a.m. everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world was at an end! Eleven kilometres directly below the city one of the greatest earthquakes of the 20th century had begun. It was felt in Beijing, which is more than two hundred kilometres away. One-third of the nation felt it. A huge crack that was eight kilometres long and thirty metres wide cut across houses, roads and canals. Steam burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins. The suffering of the people was extreme. Two-thirds of them died or were injured during the earthquake. Thousands of families were killed and many children were left without parents. The number of people who were killed or seriously injured reached more than 400,000.But how could the survivors believe it was natural? Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed. All of the city's hospitals, 75% of its factories and buildings and 90% of its homes were gone. Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves. No wind, however, could blow them away. Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for travelling.The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel. Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again. Half a million pigs and millions of chickens were dead. Sand now filled the wells instead of water. People were shocked. Then, later that afternoon, another big quake which was almost as strong as the first one shook Tangshan. Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped under the ruins. More buildings fell down. Water, food, and electricity were hard to get. People began to wonder how long the disaster would last.All hope was not lost. Soon after the quakes, the army sent 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers. Hundreds of thousands of people were helped. 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. Fresh water was taken to the city by train, truck and plane. Slowly, the city began to breathe again.高中人教版必修一——Unit5ELIAS' STORYMy name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa. The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offered guidance 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 school where I studied for only two years was three kilometres away. I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write well.After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have one because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work.The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest. He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could. He said:"The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, 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 by white 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 less important, or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed ... only then did we decide to answer 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 in prison. But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white people equal.THE REST OF ELIAS' STORYYou cannot imagine how the name of Robben Island made us afraid. It was a prison from which no one escaped. There I spent the hardest time of my life. But when I got there Nelson Mandela was also there and he helped me. Mr Mandela began a school for those of us who had little learning. He taught us during the lunch breaks and the evenings when we should have been asleep. We read books under our blankets and used anything we could find to make candles to see the words. I became a good student. I wanted to study for my degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later, Mr Mandela 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 pass their exams. So I knew 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 better educated, I got a job working in an office. However, the police found out and told my boss that I had been in prison for blowing up government buildings. So I lost my job. I did not work again for twenty years until Mr Mandela and the ANC came to power in 1994. All that time my wife and children had to beg for good and help from relatives or friends. Luckily Mr Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Island. I felt bad the first time I talked to a group. All the terror and fear of that time came back to me. I remembered the beatings and the cruelty of the guards and my friends who had died. I felt I would not be able to do it, but my family encouraged me. They said that the job and the pay from the new South African government were my reward after working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks. So now I am proud to show visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own land.。

Reading and Thinking P2TU YOUYOU AWARDED NOBEL PRIZE屠呦呦获诺贝尔奖6 October 2015This year’s Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou (co-winner), whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin, a crucial new treatment for malaria. Artemisinin has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and has led to improved health for millions of people. Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year, and about 600, 000 die from it. Artemisinin has become a vital part of the treatment for malaria, and is thought to save 100, 000 lives a year in Africa alone.今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予了屠呦呦(共同获奖者)，她的研究促使了青蒿素的发现。

这是一种至关重要的治疗疟疾的新疗法。

青蒿素挽救了数十万人的生命，并改善了数百万人的健康状况。

全世界每年有超过2亿人罹患疟疾，约60万人死于疟疾。

青蒿素已成为治疗疟疾的重要组成部分，据认为仅在非洲一年就能挽救10万人的生命。

Tu Youyou, a committed and patient scientist, was born in Ningbo, China, on 30 December 1930, and graduated from Peking University Medical School in 1955. After she graduated, she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing.

In the beginning, Tu Youyou went to Hainan, where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients. In 1969, she became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease. Her team examined over 2, 000 old medical texts, and evaluated 280, 000 plants for their medical properties. From their research, they discovered and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria.屠呦呦是一位坚定而耐心的科学家，1930年12月30日出生于中国宁波，1955年毕业于北京大学医学院。

必修一第一单元友谊Reading 安妮最好的朋友你是不是想有一位能无话不谈推心置腹的朋友呢或者你是不是担心你的朋友会嘲笑你,会不理解你目前的困境呢安妮.弗兰克想要的是第一种类型的朋友,于是她就把日记当成了她最好的朋友;安妮在第二次世界大战期间住在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹;她一家人都是犹太人,所以他们不得不躲藏起来,否则他们就会被德国纳粹抓去;她和她的家人躲藏了差不多25个月之后才被发现;在这段时间里,她唯一的忠实的朋友就是她的日记了;她说：“我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账;我要把这本日记当作我的朋友,我要把我的这个朋友称作基蒂”;安妮自从1942年7月起就躲藏在哪里了,现在来看看拿她的心情吧;1944年6月15日星期四亲爱的基蒂：我不知道这是不是因为我长久无法出门的缘故,我变得对一切与大自然有关的事物都无比狂热;我记得非常清楚,以前,湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花,从未令我心迷神往过;自从我来到这里,这一切都变了;……比方说,有天晚上天气很暖和,我熬到十一点半故意不睡觉,为的是独自好好看月亮;但是因为月光太亮了,我不敢打开窗户;还有一次,就在五个月以前的一个晚上,我碰巧在楼上,窗户是开着的;我一直等到非关窗不可的时候才下楼去;漆黑的夜晚,风吹雨打,雷电交加,我全然被这种力量镇住了;这是我一年半以来第一次目睹夜晚…………令人伤心地是……我只能透过脏兮兮的窗帘观看大自然,窗帘悬挂在沾满灰尘的窗前;但观看这些已经不再是乐趣,因为大自然是你必须亲身体验的;你的安妮Using Language亲爱的王小姐：我和班上的同学有件麻烦事;我跟我们班里的一位男同学一直相处很好,我们常常一起做家庭作业,而且很乐意相互帮助;我们成了非常好的朋友;可是,其他同学却开始在背后议论起来,他们说我和这位男同学在谈恋爱,这使我很生气;我不想中断这段友谊,但是我又讨厌人家背后说闲话;我该怎么办呢你的丽萨亲爱的王小姐：我是湖州高中的一名学生;我有一个难题,我不太善于同人们交际;虽然我的确试着去跟班上的同学交谈,但我还是发现很难跟他们成为好朋友;因此,有时候我感到十分孤独;我确实很想改变这种现状,但是我却不知道该怎么办;如果您能给我提些建议,我会非常感激的;你的萧东Using Language 标准英语和方言什么是标准英语是在英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、印度、新西兰所说的英语吗信不信由你,世界上没有什么标准英语;许多人认为,电视和收音机里说的就是标准英语,这是因为在早期的电台节目里,人们期望新闻播音员所说的英语是最好的英语;然而,在电视和收音机里,你也会听出人们在说话时的差异;当人们用不同于“标准语言”的词语时,那就叫做方言;美国英语有许多方言,特别是中西部和南部地区的方言,以及黑人和西班牙人的方言;在美国有些地区,即使是相邻城镇的两个人所说的方言都可能稍有不同;美国英语之所以有这么多的方言是因为美国人来自世界各地的缘故;地理位置对语言的产生也有影响;住在美国东部山区的一些人说着比较古老的英语方言;当美国人从一个地方搬到另一个地方时,他们也就把他们的方言随着带去了;因此,美国东南部山区的人同美国西北部的人说的方言就几乎相同;美国是一个使用多种方言的大国;虽然许多美国人经常搬迁,但是他们仍然能够辨别、理解彼此的方言;第三单元游记Reading 沿湄公河而下的旅程第一部分梦想与计划我的名字叫王坤;从高中起,我姐姐王薇和我就一直梦想作一次伟大的自行车旅行;两年前,她买了一辆昂贵的山地自行车,然后还说服我买了一辆山地车;去年她去看望了我们的表兄弟—在昆明读大学的刀卫和宇航;他们是傣族人,在云南省西部靠近澜沧江的地方长大,湄公河在中国境内的这一段叫澜沧江,在其他国家境内叫湄公河;很快,王薇使表兄弟也对骑车旅行产生了兴趣;大学毕业以后,我们终于有了机会骑自行车旅行;我问我姐姐：“我们要去哪儿”首先想到要沿湄公河从源头到终点骑车旅行的是我的姐姐;现在她正在为我们的旅行制定行动;我很喜欢我姐姐,但是她有一个很严重的缺点;她有时确实很固执;尽管她对去某些地方的最佳路线并不清楚,她却坚持要自己把这次旅行安排得尽善尽美;于是,我就知道这个尽善尽美的方式总是她的方式;我不停地问她：“我们什么时候出发什么时候回来”我还问她是否看过地图;当然她并没有看过—我的姐姐是不会考虑细节的;于是,我告诉她,湄公河的源头在青海省;她给了我一个坚定的眼神—这种眼神表明她是不会改变主意的;我说,我们的旅行将从5000多米的高地出发,这时她似乎显得很兴奋;当我告诉她那里空气稀薄,呼吸困难,而且天气很冷时,她却说这将是一次有趣的经历;我非常了解我的姐姐,她一旦下了决心,什么也不能使她改变;最后,我只好让步了;在我们旅行前的几个月,王薇和我去了图书馆;我们找到一本大型地图册,里面有一些世界地理的明细图;我们从图上可以看到,湄公河发源于青海省一座山上的冰川;起初,江面很小,河水清澈而冷冽,然后它开始快速流动;它穿越深谷时就变成了急流,流经云南西部;有时,这条江形成瀑布,进入宽阔的峡谷;我们俩惊奇地发现这条河有一半是在中国境内;当流出中国,流出高地之后,湄公河变宽了,变暖了,河水也变成了黄褐色;而当它进入东南亚以后,流速减慢,河水蜿蜒缓慢地穿过低谷,流向生长稻谷的平原;最后,湄公河三角洲的各支流流入了中国南海;Using

伊莱亚斯的故事我的名字叫伊莱亚斯;我是南非的一个穷苦的黑人工人;第一次见到纳尔逊.曼德拉的时候,是我的一生中非常艰难的时期;当时我才12岁,那是在1952年,曼德拉是我寻求帮助的一位黑人律师;他为那些穷苦黑人提供法律指导;他十分慷慨地给予我时间,我为此非常感激;由于我所受的教育很少,所以我需要他的帮助;我六岁开始上学,我仅仅在那里读了两年的学校有三公里远;我不得不辍学,因为我的家庭无法继续支付学费和交通费;我既不太会读,也不怎么会写;几经周折,我才在一家金矿找到一份工作;然而在那个时候,你要想住在约翰内斯堡就非得要有身份证不可;糟糕的是我没有这个证件,因为我不是在那里出生的,我很担心我是不是会失业;约尔逊.曼德拉给予我帮助的那一天是我一生中最高兴的日子;他告诉我要想在约翰内斯堡立住脚,应当如何获取所需证件;我对自己的未来又充满了希望;我永远也忘不了他对我的恩情,当他组织了非国大青年联盟时,我马上就参加了这个组织;他说：“过去30年来所出现的大量法律剥夺我们的权利,阻挡我们的进步,一直到今天,我们还处在几乎什么权利都没有的阶段;”他说的是真话;当时黑人没有选举权,他们无权选择他们的领导人;他们不能做自己想要做的工作;他们所住的城区都是由白人决定的;他们被打发去住的城外地区是南非最贫穷的地区;在那儿,没有人能够种庄稼;事实上,就像纳尔逊.曼德拉所说的：“我们被置于这样一个境地：要么我们被迫接受低人一等的现实,要么跟政府作斗争;我们选择向法律进攻;首先我们用和平的方式来破坏法律,而当这种方式也得不到允许时,只有到那个时候,我们才决定用暴力反抗暴力;”事实上,我并不喜欢暴力,但是在1963年的时候,我帮助他炸毁了一些政府大楼;那是很危险的事情,因为如果我被抓住了,可能就会被关进监狱;但是,我乐于帮忙,因为我知道,这是为了实现我们的黑人和白人平等的梦想;Using Language 伊莱亚斯的故事续篇你无法想象罗本岛这个名字听起来多么令我们恐惧;那是一座任何人也逃不出去的监狱;在那里我度过了我一生中最艰难的岁月;但是我到那里时,纳尔逊.曼德拉也在那儿,他又帮助了我;曼德拉先生为我们那些几乎没有上过学的人开办学校;他在午餐后的休息时间以及晚上本来该睡觉的时间教我们学习;我们躲在毯子下面读书,我们用可以找到的任何东西作蜡烛来看书;我成了一名好学生,想要为我的学位而学习,但是别人不允许我这样做;后来,曼德拉先生让狱卒参加我们一起学习;他说他们不应该剥夺通过学习获得学位的权利;他们并不比我更聪明,却通过了考试,因此我就知道我也能够拿到学位;这让我觉得自己还不错;在监狱里呆完四年之后,我去找工作;因为我受过比较好的教育,我得到了一份坐办公室的工作;可是监察局发现了,告诉了我的老板,说我因为炸政府大楼而坐过牢;于是我失业了;在曼德拉和非国大于1994年掌权之前,我有20年没有工作;在此期间,我的妻儿只得从亲戚朋友处讨饭吃,并祈求帮助;幸亏曼德拉先生还记得我,给了我一份工作,叫我带着旅行团去参观罗本岛上我住过的那座旧监狱;第一次给旅行团作讲解时,我的心情很不好;我回忆起那时所有的恐怖和令人畏惧的情景;我记起了狱卒的鞭打和暴行,我想起了我那些死去的朋友,我觉得我做不了这样的导游的工作;但是我的家人却鼓励我,他们说,从南非新政府得到的这份工作和薪饷,是我毕生为争取黑人的平等权利而斗争所得到的回报;现在,我还能给参观者介绍有关监狱的情况,对此我感到非常骄傲,因为我曾经为黑人在自己的国土上争取自由而出过力;第二单元世界上的英语Reading 通向现代英语之路16世纪末期大约有5百万到7百万人说英语,几乎所有这些人都生活在英国;后来,在17世纪英国人开始航海征服了世界其它地区;于是,许多别的国家开始说英语了;如今说英语的人比以往任何时候都多,他们有的是作为第一语言来说,有的是作为第二语言或外语;以英语作为母语的人,即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同,也可以相互交流;请看以下例子；英国人贝蒂:“请到我的公寓flat里来看看,好吗”美国人艾米：“好的;我很乐意到你的公寓apartment去;”那么,英语在一段时间里为什么会起变化呢事实上,当不同文化相互交流渗透时,所有的语言都会有所发展、有所变化;首先,在公元450年到1150年间,人们所说的英语跟今天所说的英语就很不一样;当时的英语更多地是以德语为基础的,而现代英语不是;然后,渐渐地,大约在公元800 到1150年期间,英语不那么像德语了,因为那时的英国的统治者起初讲丹麦语后来讲法语;这些新的定居者大大丰富了英语语言,特别是词汇方面;所以到17世纪,莎士比亚所用的词汇量比任何时期都大;在1620年,一些英国人搬迁到美洲定居;后来,到了18世纪,有些英国人也被送往澳大利亚,两个国家的人都开始说英语了;最后,到19世纪,英语才真正定形;那时,英语在拼写上发生了两大变化：首先塞缪尔.约翰逊编写了词典,后来,诺厄.韦伯斯特编篆了美国英语词典,后者体现了美国英语拼写的不同特色;现在,英语在南亚也被当作外语或第二语言;比如说,印度拥有众多讲英语很流利的人,这是因为英国于1765年到1947年统治过印度;在那期间,英语成了官方语言和教育用语;在新加坡、马来西亚和非洲其它国家,比如南非,人们也说英语;目前在中国学习英语的人数正在迅速增长;事实上,中国可能拥有世界上最多的英语学习者;中国英语会发展出自己的特色吗这只能由时间来回答了;。

必修1 Unit 1ANNE’S BEST FRIENDDo you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend.Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II. Her family was Jewish so the had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family hide away for two years before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now read how she felt after 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 I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time 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 past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time some months ago, I happened to be upstairs one evening when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, 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 very dusty windows. It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.Yours,AnneUsing Language 语言运用Reading and listening 读与听1 Read the letter that Lisa wrote to Miss Wang of Radio for Teenagers and predict what Miss Wang will say.

Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to 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 same kind 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 develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English spoken in England 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. Then gradually between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoken first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were 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 Noah Webster 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. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. 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 expected to speak excellent English. However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak.When people use words and expressions different form “standard language”, it is called 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 so many dialects because people have come from all over the world.Geography also plays a part in making dialects. Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern USA speak with an older kind of English dialect. When Americans moved form one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same dialect as people in the northwestern USA. The USA is a large country in which many different 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 MEKONGPART 1 THE DREAM AND THE PLANMy name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got them interested in cycling 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 she is planning our schedule for the trip.I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn. Although she didn't know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she 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 her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course, she hadn't; my sister doesn't care about details. So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined look—the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. 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 a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography. From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a Tibetan mountain. At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, travelling across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall and enters wide valleys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China and the high altitude,the Mekong becomes wide，brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through 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 legs were so heavy and cold that they felt like blocks of ice. Have you ever seen snowmen ride bicycles? That's what we looked like! Along the way children dressed in long wool coats stopped to look at us. In the late afternoon we found it was so cold that our water bottles froze.However,the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and looked wonderful.Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual.She is very reliable and I knew I did'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 one point 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,gloves and trousers for T-shirts and shorts.In the early evening we always stop to make camp.We put up our tent and then we eat.After supper Wang Wei put her head down on her pillow and went to sleep but I stayed awake.At midnight the sky became clearer and the stars grew brighter. It was so quiet.There was almost no wind-only the flames of our fire for company.As I lay beneath 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 Hang will join us.We can hardly wait to see them!Unit 4 EarthquakesA NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN'T SLEEPStrange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei.For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell,rose and fell.Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them.A smelly gas came out of the cracks.In the farmyards,the chickens and even the pigs were too nervois to eat.Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide.Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds.At about 3:00 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.In the city,the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst.but the one million people of the city,who thiught 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 an end!Eleven kilometres directly below the city the greatest earthquake of the 20th century had begun.It was felt in Beijing,which is more than two hundred kilometres away.One-third of the nation felt it.A huge crack that was eight kilometres long and thirty metres wide cut across houses,roads and canals.Steam burst from holes in 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 or were 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 looked nearly everything was destroyed.All of the city's hospitals,75%of its factories and buildings and 90% of its homes were gone.Bricks covered the ground like red autumnleaves.No wind,however,could blow them away.Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for travelling.The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel.Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again.Half a million oigs and millions of chickens were dead.Sand now filled the wells instead of water.People were shocked.Then,later that afternoon,another big quake which was almost as strong as the first one shook Tangshan.Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped under the ruins.More buildings fell down.Water,food,and electricity were hard to get.people begab to wonder how long the disaster would last.All hope was not lost.Soon after the quakes,the army sent 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers.Hundreds of thousands of people were helped.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.Fresh water was taken to the city bu train,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 school speaking competition about new Tangshan. Your speech was heard by a group of five judges, all of whom agreed that it was the best one this year. Your parents and your school should be very proud of you!Next month the city will open a new park to honour those who died in the terrible disaster. The park will also honour those who helped the survivors. Our office would like to have you speak to the park vistors on July 28 at 11:00 am. As you know,this is the day the quake happened thirty-____years ago.We invite you to bring your family and friends on that special day.Sincerely,Zhang ShaUnit 5ELIAS’ STORYMy name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa. The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offered guidance 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 school where I studied for only two years was three kilometers away. I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work.The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest. He told my how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could. He said:“The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, 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 by white 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 less important or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed…only then did we decide to answer 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 in prison. But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white people equal.THE REST OF ELIAS' STORYYou cannot imagine how the name of Robben Island made us afraid. It was a prison from which no one escaped. There I spent the hardest time of my life. But when I got there Nelsom Mandela was also there and he helped me. Mr Mandela began a school for those of us who had little learning. He taught us during the lunch breaks and the evenings when we should have been asleep. We read books under our blankets and used anything we could find to make candles to see the words. I became a good student. I wanted to study for my degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later, Mr Mandela 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 pass their 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 better educated, I got a job working in an office. However, the police found out and told my boss 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 from relatives or friends. Luckily Mr Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Islannd. I felt bad the first time I talked to a group. All the terror and fear of that time came back to me. I remembered the beatings and the cruelty of the guards and my friends who had died. I felt I would not be able to do it, but my family encouraged me. They said that the job and the pay from the new South African government were my reward after working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks. So now at 51 I am proud to show visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own land.。

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.

安妮在第二次世界大战期间住在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹。

她一家人都是犹太人,所以他们不得不躲藏起来,否则他们就会被德国纳粹抓去。

她和她的家人躲藏了两年之后才被发现。

在这段时间里，她唯一的忠实朋友就是她的日记了。

她说，我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账。

我要把这本日记当作我的朋友,我要把我这个朋友称作基蒂。

安妮自从1942年７月起就躲藏在那儿了,现在,来看看她的心情吧。

1944年6月１5日星期四亲爱的基蒂:我不知道这是不是因为我长久无法出门的缘故,我变得对一切与大自然有关的事物都无比狂热。

我记得非常清楚,以前，湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花，从未令我心迷神往过。

自从我来到这里，这一切都变了。

比方说，有天晚上天气很暖和,我熬到１1点半故意不睡觉,为的是独自好好看看月亮。

但是因为月光太亮了,我不敢打开窗户。

还有一次，就在五个月以前的一个晚上，我碰巧在楼上,窗户是开着的。

我一直等到非关窗不可的时候才下楼去。

漆黑的夜晚，风吹雨打,雷电交加，我全然被这种力量镇住了。

这是我一年半以来第一次目睹夜晚令人伤心的是我只能透过脏兮兮的窗帘观看大自然,窗帘悬挂在沾满灰尘的窗前,但观看这些已经不再是乐趣，因为大自然是你必须亲身体验的。

For several days，the water in the village wells rose and fell，rose and fell. There were deep cracks that appeared in the well walls. At least one well had some smelly gas coming out of it. Chickens and even pigs were too nervous to eat，and dogs refused to go inside buildings. Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide，and fish jumped out of the water. At about 3：00 a.m., on 28 July 1976，bright lights were seen in the sky outside the city of Tangshan and loud noises were heard.
