一直到今天,我們還處在幾乎什么權(quán)利都沒(méi)有的階段?!?他說(shuō)的是真話。當(dāng)時(shí)黑人沒(méi)有選舉權(quán),他們無(wú)權(quán)選擇管理他們的人。他們?cè)诔抢锏淖≌瑓^(qū)都是由白人決定的。他們不能做自己想要做的工作。他們被打發(fā)去居住的地方是南非最貧窮的地區(qū)。在那兒,沒(méi)有人能夠種莊稼。事實(shí)上,就像拉爾遜曼德拉所說(shuō)的: “……我們被置于這樣一個(gè)境地:要么我們被迫接受低人一等的現(xiàn)實(shí),要么跟政府作斗爭(zhēng)。我們選擇向法律進(jìn)攻。首先我們用和平的方式來(lái)破壞法律,而當(dāng)這種方式也得不到允許時(shí),……只有到這個(gè)時(shí)候,我們才決定用暴力反抗暴力?!?事實(shí)上,我并不喜歡暴力,但是在1963年的時(shí)候,我?guī)椭Я艘恍┱髽?。那是很危險(xiǎn)的事情,因?yàn)槿绻冶蛔プ×?,可能就要坐幾年牢。但是,我?lè)于幫忙,因?yàn)槲抑?,這是為了實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的黑人和白人平等的夢(mèng)想。Using Language Reading 伊萊亞斯的故事續(xù)篇 你無(wú)法想象羅本島這個(gè)名字聽(tīng)起來(lái)多么令我們恐懼。那是一座任何人也逃不出去的監(jiān)獄。在那里我度過(guò)了我一生中最艱難的歲月。但是我到那里時(shí),納爾遜曼德拉也在那兒。從某種意義上講,這倒幫了我的忙。曼德拉先生為我們那些幾乎沒(méi)有上過(guò)學(xué)的人開(kāi)辦學(xué)校。他在午餐后的休息時(shí)間以及晚上本來(lái)該睡覺(jué)的時(shí)間教我們學(xué)習(xí)。我們躲在毯子下面讀書,我們用可以找到的任何東西作蠟燭來(lái)看書。我成了一名好學(xué)生,想要為我的學(xué)位而學(xué)習(xí),但是別人不允許我這樣做。我知道我是夠聰明的,并且有能力拿到學(xué)位。曼德拉先生讓獄卒參加我們一起學(xué)習(xí)。他說(shuō)他們不應(yīng)該被剝奪學(xué)習(xí)的權(quán)利。他們并不比我更聰明,卻通過(guò)了考試,因此我就知道我也能夠拿到學(xué)位。這讓我覺(jué)得自己還不錯(cuò)。在監(jiān)獄里呆完四年之后,我去找工作。因?yàn)槲沂苓^(guò)比較好的教育,我得到了一份坐辦公室的工作??墒蔷炀职l(fā)現(xiàn)了,告訴了我們那個(gè)行業(yè)的重要人物,說(shuō)我因?yàn)檎ㄕ髽嵌^(guò)牢。于是我失業(yè)了。在曼德拉和非國(guó)大于1994年掌權(quán)之前,我有20年沒(méi)有工作。在此期間,我的妻兒只得從親戚朋友處討飯吃,并乞求幫助。幸虧曼德拉先生還記得我,給了我一份工作,叫我?guī)е眯袌F(tuán)去參觀羅本島上我住過(guò)的那座舊監(jiān)獄。第一次給旅行團(tuán)作講解時(shí),我的心情很不好。我回憶起那時(shí)所有的恐怖和令人畏懼的情景。我記起了獄卒的鞭打和暴行,我想到了我那些死去的朋友,我覺(jué)得我不能做這份(導(dǎo)游的)工作。但是我的家人卻鼓勵(lì)我,他們說(shuō),從南非新政府得到的這份工作和薪餉,是我畢生為爭(zhēng)取黑人的平等權(quán)利而斗爭(zhēng)所得到的回報(bào)?,F(xiàn)在,我51歲了,我還能給參觀者介紹有關(guān)監(jiān)獄的情況,對(duì)此我感到非常驕傲,因?yàn)槲以?jīng)為黑人在自己的國(guó)土上爭(zhēng)取自由而出過(guò)力。第四篇:高中英語(yǔ)必修一module16課文原文Module 1My First Day at Senior High My Name is Li live in Shijiazhuang, a city not far from is the capital city of Hebei is my first day at Senior High school and I39。m writing down my thoughts about new school is very good and I can see teachers are very enthusiastic and friendly and the classrooms are room has a puter with a special screen, almost as big as a cinema teachers write on the puter, and their words appear on the screen behind screens also show photographs, text and information from 39。re brilliant!The English class is really teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms 39。re using a new textbook and Ms Shen39。s method of teaching is nothing like that of the teachers at my Junior High thinks that reading prehension is important, but we speak a lot in class, we have don39。t think I will be bored in Ms Shen39。s class!Today we introduced ourselves to each did this in students were embarrassed at first but everyone was very friendly and it was really Shen gave us instructions and then we worked by Shen wants to help us improve our spelling and do this in a fun way, with spelling games and other like her attitude very much, and the behaviour of the other students shows that they like her, are sixtyfive students in my classmore than my previous class in Junior of them are other words, there are three times as many girls as say that girls are usually more hardworking than boys, but in this class, everyone is our homework tonight, we have to write a description of the street where we 39。m looking forward to doing it!Module 2My New Teachers They say that first impressions are very first impression of Mrs Li was that she was nervous and think perhaps she was, as it was her first lesson with now, after two weeks, the class really likes working with 39。s kind and patient, and she explains English grammar so clearly that even I can understand it!–She avoids making you feel 39。ve always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly when I speak English, but Mrs Li just smiles, so that you don39。t feel pletely think maybe she goes a bit too slowly for the faster students, but for me it39。s feel I39。m going to make progress with 39。d guess that Mrs Chen is almost 39。s very strict—we don39。t dare to say a word unless she asks us 39。s also very serious and doesn39。t smile she asks you to do something, you do it are a few students in our class who keep ing to class late but they39。re always on time for Mrs Chen39。s of our class don39。t like her, but most of us really appreciate her because her teaching is so well organised and a few students even admit liking scientific experiments, she explains exactly what is happening and as a result my work is will never be my favourite lesson, but I think that I39。ll do well in the exam with Mrs Chen teaching Wu39。s only been teaching us for two weeks and he39。s already very think this is because he really enjoys teaching Chinese literature—he loves it, in 39。s got so much energy, this is one class you do not fall asleep 39。s about 28, I think, and is rather good— talks loudly and fast, and waves his hands about a lot when he gets 39。s really amusing and tells jokes when he thinks we39。re getting things like positions and summaries are fun with respect him a 3My First Ride on a Train My name is Alice e from Sydney, Australia and I39。m 18 years I had my first ride on a

and the people were the day, I sat and looked out of the window, and sometimes talked to other read books and listened to my Chinese cassettes(I39。m studying Chinese at school).One night, at about midnight, I watched the night sky for about an stars shone like is the train called the Ghan? A long time ago, Australians needed a way to travel to the middle of the tried riding horses, but the horses didn39。t like the hot weather and hundred and fifty years ago, they brought some camels from is short for were much better than horses for travelling a long many years, trained camels carried food and other supplies, and returned with wool and other Afghans and their camels did this until the the government built a new railway line, so they didn39。t need the camels any 1925, they passed a law which allowed people to shoot the animals if theywere a 1935, the police in a tow
