我不知道這是不是因為我長久無法出門的緣故，我變得對一切與大自然有關的事物都無比狂熱。自從我來到這里，這一切都變了。但是因為月光太亮了，我不敢打開窗戶。我一直等到非關窗不可的時候才下樓去。這是我一年半以來第一次目睹夜晚…… 你的 安妮 Using Language Reading, listening and writing 親愛的王小姐： 我同班上的同學有件麻煩事。我們成了非常好的朋友。我不想中斷這段友誼，但是我又討厭人家背后說閑話。我有一個難題，我不太善于同人們交際。因此，有時候我感到十分孤獨。如果您能給我提些建議，我會非常感激的。在17世紀英國人開始往世界其它地區(qū)遷移。如今說英語的人比以往任何時候更多了，他們有的是作為第一語言來說，有的是作為第二語言或外語。以英語作為母語的人，即使他們所講的語言不盡相同，也可以互相交流。比方說，一個英國人可能對她的朋友說：“請到我的公寓（flat）里來坐坐，好嗎？”她的一位美國朋友可能會問她，“到哪兒去？”她的加拿大朋友可能會解釋說，“她的意思是要我們到她的房間（apartment）去。從公元450年到1150年，人們所說的英語跟今天所說的英語就很不一樣。然后大約在公元 1150年到1500年期間，英語的變化就更大了，它不那么像德語，而更像法語了，因為那時的英國的統治者講法語，它變得更接近你們正在學習的這種語言。英語用法發(fā)生了一次大變化，那就是在諾厄后來，有些英國人到了澳大利亞，那里的人也開始說英語了。英語在南亞也被當作外語或第二語言來使用。在此期間，英語成了政府和教育的語言。在中國，大約從1842年起，香港就開始用英語了。中國英語將來會不會成為世界英語中的一種呢？這只好由時間來回答了。許多人認為，電視和收音機里所說的就是標準英語，這是因為在早期的電臺節(jié)目里，人們期望新聞播音員所說的英語是最好的英語。當人們用不同于“標準語言”的詞語時，那就叫做方言。在美國有些地區(qū)，相鄰城鎮(zhèn)的兩地人所說的方言都可能稍有不同。地理位置對方言的產生也有影響。當美國人從一個地方搬到另一個地方時，他們也就把他們的方言隨著帶去了。美國是一個大國，國內說著許許多多的方言。第三單元 游記 Reading 沿湄公河而下的旅程 第一部分 夢想與計劃 我的名字叫王坤。到大學畢業(yè)時，我們終于有了機會。她喜歡在鄉(xiāng)下作長途自行車旅行。去年她（騎車）去看望了我們的表兄弟——在昆明讀大學的刀衛(wèi)和宇航。很快，王薇使表兄弟也對騎車旅游產生了興趣。盡管她對到某些地方的最佳路線并不清楚，她卻堅持我們要找到河的源頭，并從那里開始我們的行程。于是，我就知道這個盡善盡美的方式總是她的方式。當然她并沒有看過——我的姐姐是不會考慮細節(jié)的。她給了我一個堅定的眼神——這種眼神表明她是不會改變主意的。當我告訴她那里空氣稀薄，呼吸困難，而且天氣很冷時，她卻說這將是一次有趣的經歷。最后，我只好讓步了。我們找到一本大型地圖冊，里面有一些世界地理的明細圖。起初，江面很小，河水清澈而冷冽，然后它開始快速流動。有時，這條江進入寬闊的峽谷，就形成了瀑布。當流出中國，流出高地之后，湄公河就變寬了，變暖了，河水也變成了黃褐色。最后，湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中國南海。我們感到腿又沉又冷，還以為腿結成冰了呢。上山很艱難，而下山卻很好玩。然后，當我們到達較冷的高地時，我們又得換衣服。晚飯后，王薇就去睡覺了，而我卻睡不著。山里非常安靜——那天晚上幾乎沒有風，只有篝火的聲音。在那里，我們的表兄弟刀衛(wèi)和宇航將加入我們的行列。農夫注意到，水井的井壁上有深深的裂縫，裂縫里冒出臭氣。老鼠從田地里跑出來找地方藏身。1976年7月28日凌晨3點左右，人們看到天上一道道明亮的光。在市內，有些建筑物里的水管爆裂開來。凌晨3點42分，一切都開始搖晃起來。一條8公里長30米寬的巨大裂縫橫穿房舍、馬路和渠道。石頭山變成了泥沙河，在可怕的15秒鐘內，一座大城市就沉淪在一片廢墟之中。成千上萬個完整的家庭遇難，許許多多的孩子變成了孤兒。幸存的人們又怎么能相信這是自然現象呢？人們無論朝哪里看，哪里的一切都幾乎被毀了。殘磚就像秋天的紅葉覆蓋著大地，然而它們是不可能被風刮走的。鐵軌如今成了一條條廢鋼。50萬頭豬和幾百萬只雞全都死了。人們驚呆了。有些醫(yī)生和救援人員被困在廢墟下面。水、電和食物都很難弄到。不是所有的希望都破滅了。救援人員組成小分隊，將受困的人們挖出來，將死者掩埋。援救人員為那些家園被毀的幸存者蓋起了避難所，用火車、卡車和飛機向市內運來了水。Using

恭喜你！我們很高興地告訴你，你在以新唐山為主題的中學演講比賽中獲得第一名。你的父母親和你的學校應該為你而驕傲！下個月我們市將開放一個新公園，以紀念在那次可怕的災難中死去的人們，并向那些曾經為幸存者提供過幫助的人們致敬。你知道，二十（）年前的這一天正是唐山發(fā)生地震的日子。張沙第五單元 納爾遜我是南非的一個窮苦的黑人工人。曼德拉的時候，是我一生中非常艱難的時期。我六歲開始上學，我僅僅在那里讀了兩年的學校有三公里遠。我既不會讀，也不會寫。那個時候你要想住在約翰內斯堡就非得要有身份證不可。那天，納爾遜他告訴我要在約翰內斯堡立住腳，應當如何獲取所需文件。他說：“過去30年來所出現的大量法律剝奪我們的權利，阻擋我們的進步，一直到今天，我們還處在幾乎什么權利都沒有的階段。當時黑人沒有選舉權，他們無權選擇管理他們的人。他們不
