more interesting. What do you think? I look forward to your reply.Best Wishes,Dong Ming Sometimes I feel good about myself when I’ve been able to contribute a little bit to my relationships with others. I remember what I did for Xiao Li, my next door neighbor and good friend. Last summer Xiao Li got seriously ill and was in the hospital for five weeks.At the beginning I didn’t know what I could do for him. I went to Mom for advice. Mom thought about it for a while and said, “Well, the only thing I can tell you is to be available when he needs you—not when you want to be available.” I took Mom’s advice seriously. I called him on the phone now and then to check if he needed any help and I went to see him every day after school and did what I could for him. So when Xiao Li recovered and let the hospital I felt so happy.5 When Your Neighbor Is in Need of HelpSTEP ONE SampleA young woman was walking along the streets one night when she was attacked. She screamed for help and managed to escape. A few minutes later her attacker caught her again and she continued screaming for help while the neighbors watched terrified from their windows and did nothing. They didn’t even call the police. T he woman died of multiple stab wounds ( 多處刺傷).STEP TWOSample 1 I think there are several reasons for that. First, people were rather cowardly and selfish. When they heard someone screaming late at night, they thought that might be dangerous so they just stood back and watched the woman get killed in front of them. They preferred to protect themselves rather than get involved to risk being injured or even killed. Second, they felt that there are already institutions in cities to deal with this kind of problem. They didn’t think they needed to intervene because the police would do something for them. Finally, it is possible that these people were so terrified that they could not think clearly or take action to protect the woman.2 I don’t know. Maybe I would go to the street and try to protect the woman. I think more people would e to help if they realized what was really happening. Maybe I would call the police. But I’m afraid that when the police arrived, she might already have been killed. Or maybe I would be too scared to give any help. I might simply close the window and put my ear plugs in. These are the different things I might do on such an occasion, but I believe it’s most likely that I would call the police.Part Four Writing and Translation2 Translation PracticeLean on Me依 靠 我 吧Sometimes in our lives we all have pain, we all have sorrow生活中我們會有痛苦,會有悲傷But if we are wise, we know that there’s always tomorrow.然而,聰明的我們明白總有明天(可指望)。課內(nèi)閱讀練習答案 Reading Comprehension1. 1A 2B 3A 4A 5B 6C 7A 8 C 2. 1 killed 2 wounded 3 arrived 4girl 5 badly / seriously 6 blood 7 none 8 American 9type 10 orphans 11 French 12 difficulty 13 frightened 14 would 15 cried16 Vietnamese 17 found 18
