ot smoke at all and during this time, my wife suffered terribly. I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking: a bad temper and an enormous appetite. My friends kept on offering me cigarettes and cigars. They made no effort to hide their amusement whenever I produced a packet of sweets from my pocket. After seven days of this I went to a party. Everybody around me was smoking and I felt extremely unfortable. When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette, it was more than I could bear. I took one guiltily, lit it and smoked with satisfaction. My wife was delighted that things had returned to normal once more. Anyway, as Brian pointed out, it is the easiest thing in the world to give up smoking. He himself has done it lots of times! Lesson79 By air 乘飛機(jī)I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy. My parents, used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. An airhostess would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to travelling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, an airhostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly. Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.Lesson80 The Crystal Palace 水晶宮Perhaps the most extraordinary building of the nineteenth century was the Crystal Palace, which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass. It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it. A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts of the world. There was also a great deal of machinery on display. The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth39。s steam hammer. Though in those days, travelling was not as easy as it is today, steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe. On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. There were six million visitors in all, and the profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges. Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to South London. It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.Lesson81 Escape 脫逃When he had killed the guard, the prisoner of war quickly dragged him into the bushes. Working rapidly in the darkness, he soon changed into the dead man39。s clothes. Now, dressed in a blue uniform and with a rifle over his shoulder, the prisoner marched boldly up and down in front of the camp. He could hear shouting in the camp itself. Lights were blazing and men were running here and there: they had just discovered that a prisoner had escaped. At that moment, a large black car with four officers inside it, stopped at the camp gates. The officers got out and the prisoner stood to attention and saluted as they passed. When they had gone, the driver of the car came towards him. The man obviously wanted to talk. He was rather elderly with grey hair and clear blue eyes. The prisoner felt sorry for him, but there was nothing else he could do. As the man came near, the prisoner knocked him to the ground with a sharp blow. Then, jumping into the car, he drove off as quickly as he could. Lesson82 Monster or fish? 是妖還是魚?Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea. Though people have often laughed at stories told by seamen, it is now known that many of these 39。monsters39。 which have at times been sighted are simply strange fish. Occasionally, unusual creatures are washed to the shore, but they are rarely caught out at sea. Some time ago, however, a peculiar fish was caught near Madagascar. A small fishingboat was carried miles out to sea by the powerful fish as it pulled on the line. Realizing that this was no ordinary fish, the fisherman made every effort not to damage it in any way. When it was eventually brought to shore, it was found to be over thirteen feet long. It had a head like a horse, big blue eyes, shining silver skin, and a bright red tail, The fish, which has since been sent to a museum where it is being examined by a scientist, is called an oarfish. Such creatures have rarely been seen alive by man as they live at a depth of six hundred feet.Lesson83 After the elections 大選之后The former Prime Minister, Mr Wentworth Lane, was defeated in the recent elections. He is now retiring from political life and has gone abroad. My friend, Crawley, has always been a fanatical opponent of Mr Lane39。s Radical Progressive Party. After the elections, Crawley went to the former Prime Minister39。s house. When he asked if Mr Lane lived there, the policeman on duty told him that新型節(jié)能墻體材料技術(shù)改造項(xiàng)目可行性研究報(bào)告 第一章 項(xiàng)目概述第一節(jié) 項(xiàng)目名稱、建設(shè)單位、項(xiàng)目負(fù)責(zé)人項(xiàng)目名稱:新型節(jié)能墻體材料技術(shù)改造項(xiàng)目項(xiàng)目規(guī)模:總投資700萬(wàn)元項(xiàng)目建設(shè)單位:廣德縣新型節(jié)能墻體材料廠項(xiàng)目負(fù)責(zé)人:XXX(法人代表)項(xiàng)目地址:桃州鎮(zhèn)白洋村章村輪窯廠項(xiàng)目建成時(shí)間: 2008年建設(shè)性質(zhì):技術(shù)改造第二節(jié) 項(xiàng)目提出的背景和必要性項(xiàng)目提出的背景我國(guó)是世界上最大的發(fā)展中國(guó)家,以占世界7%的耕地養(yǎng)育著占世界22%的人口,土地資源十分寶貴,城鄉(xiāng)建設(shè)的迅猛發(fā)展需要大量的墻體材料,而傳統(tǒng)墻體材料——實(shí)心粘土磚需大量占地取土,與土地資源嚴(yán)重缺乏形成了顯明的對(duì)比,為此,國(guó)務(wù)院辦公廳《關(guān)于進(jìn)一步推進(jìn)墻體材料革新和推廣節(jié)能建筑的通知》(國(guó)辦發(fā)[2005]33號(hào))明確規(guī)定:“在全國(guó)城市住宅建設(shè)中禁止使用實(shí)心粘土磚瓦。已限期禁止生產(chǎn)、使用實(shí)心粘土磚(包括瓦,下同)的170個(gè)城市,要向逐步淘汰粘土制品推進(jìn),并向郊區(qū)城鎮(zhèn)延伸。其他城市要按照國(guó)家的統(tǒng)一部署,分期分批禁止或限制生產(chǎn)、使用實(shí)心粘土磚,并逐步向小城鎮(zhèn)和農(nóng)村延伸。其中,要逐步禁止生產(chǎn)和使用實(shí)心粘土磚;粘土資源較為豐富的西部地區(qū),要推廣發(fā)展粘土空心制品,限制生產(chǎn)和使用實(shí)心粘土磚;在新型墻體材料基本能夠滿足工程建設(shè)需要的地區(qū),要禁止生產(chǎn)粘土磚。力爭(zhēng)到2006年底,使全國(guó)實(shí)心粘土磚年產(chǎn)量減少800億塊。到2010年底,所有城市禁止使用實(shí)心粘土磚,全國(guó)實(shí)心粘土磚年產(chǎn)量控制在4000億塊以下。各地區(qū)和有關(guān)部門要積極推廣使用新型墻體材料,凡財(cái)政撥款或補(bǔ)貼的行政機(jī)關(guān)辦公用房、公共建筑、經(jīng)濟(jì)適用房、示范建筑小區(qū)和國(guó)家投資的生產(chǎn)性項(xiàng)目等,都要執(zhí)行節(jié)能設(shè)計(jì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn),選用和采購(gòu)新型墻體材料。新建建筑要向強(qiáng)制執(zhí)行國(guó)家已頒布的建筑節(jié)能設(shè)計(jì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)推進(jìn),逐步提高新型墻體材料的生產(chǎn)和應(yīng)用比例,
