Passages for Reading
1. Smoking
It is almost known to all that smoking is bad for people's health. Scientific research show that smoking can lead to heart disease, cancer and other problem. The World Health Organization says diseases linked to smoking kill at least two million five-hundred-thousand persons each year.
Still, many people find it difficult to stop smoking. One reason is that smoking usually
becomes a habitual behavior, and habits, whether good or bad are not easy to be given up. Another reason is the effect of nicotine, the substance found in cigarettes works on people somewhat as drugs do.
Measures have been taken to help people keep away from the harm of smoking. In many cities, smoking is forbidden in public places. The danger of smoking is warned of everywhere. And newspapers are asked not to publish advertisements for cigarettes. World "No Tobacco Day" is observed every year as the biggest campaign against smoking.
2. My First Job
Before I started at university, I took my first job as a waitress in a nice restaurant. At the night before my first day, I was too excited to go to sleep and as a result, I got up late in the morning. I threw on my clothes and rushed over to the restaurant.
In a great hurry, I didn't hear clearly the head waiter's instruction that we should go into the kitchen through one door and out from the other. So when I took two plates of eggs and bacon and an orange juice out to the restaurant, I went straight towards the wrong door and collided with another waiter coming in!
Worst of all was that I wore a pair of smart shoes but with high heels! A few hours later I was in agony yet had no time to change them. By the time we finished serving dinner at about 10:30 I was completely exhausted. Nevertheless, I learnt something through my experience.
3. Money
Money is what everybody desires. It can be used to buy food, clothes, books, bicycle, furniture and many other things people need or want.
Money is considered by many people as the most important thing in life. With money, they can go wherever they please and do whatever they want. With money, they can buy a fine house to live in, fashionable clothes to put on, and a nice bicycle to ride. And with money, they can employ attendants to serve them. In a word, money can make people comfortable and bring them happiness.
However, money is also the source of all crimes and brings them misery. Since money is so tempting, quite a few people are attracted by it and begin to go astray. By hook or by crook, they try to make money. To get more money, they gamble, swindle, steal, rob or do many other evil things, for "money makes the mare go". As a result, money leads them to jail or even to the execution grounds.
Of course money is useful and desirable, yet we should make money in proper way and spend
our money on proper things.
4. My View on Opportunity
Different people have different views on opportunity. It is held that there are few opportunities. But it is also held that there are opportunities everywhere.
Those who hold the first opinion think that there are too many people and there is always an intense competition for limited opportunities. In contrast, those who hold the second view think that if one is not prepared, he can hardly have any opportunities: however, if one is prepared, he can have a lot of opportunities.
As to me, I agree with the latter. Admittedly, there is really an intense competition for limited opportunities, but it is not to say the one can't create opportunities himself. In most cases opportunities are created by people themselves. For example, many people lost their jobs in recent years. Some people wait for opportunities in vain. However, others create opportunities themselves and get self-employed. Eventually they become employers themselves.
Therefore, to some extent, one can take his destiny into his own hands.
5. Job-hopping
Different people have different views on job-hopping. Some people would like to always engage in one work because they think that if one sticks to one work, he will be quite familiar and skillful with the work. However, others would like to change jobs constantly because they consider it fashionable to do so and besides they think they can get different work experiences.As to me, I am in favor of the former group of people's attitude. I think that if one always works in one field, he can accumulate a lot of experience in that field which in turn will further improve his work. Therefore he will become an expert in that field. However, if one hops from one job to another, he can never amass experience in one field. Although he can get different work experiences, he can't make use of these experiences in one particular work. Therefore, he will always be a jack-of-all-trades.
In conclusion, if one wants to be an expert in one field, he should not hop from one job to another.

English in the World
Some people say that the English language no longer belongs to the English, and it belongs to the world. It is estimated that the number of people who use English exceeds 750 million. Among
these, about 350 million are native speakers, while the rest use it as an official language. If we add to this number the people who have acquired the language to some extent, the total is close to one billion.
English plays an increasingly important role in the world as a medium for conducting international business and diplomacy, as well as in science and medicine, the Internet, air and sea
communications, international sports events, radio and TV programs, pop songs and movies. 世界上的英语
有人说英语已不再属于英国人了，它属于全世界。据估计，使用英语的人超过七亿五千万，其中大约有三亿五千万是以英语为母语的人，而其余的人将英语作为官方语言使用。如果我们再加上已经掌握英语到一定程度的人，这个总数将接近十亿。
英语，作为进行国际业务和外交的工具，在世界上起着越来越重要的作用。它还在科学、医药、互联网、空中及海洋通信、国际体育赛事、电台电视节目、流行歌曲及电影中发挥着越来越重要的作用。

A Friend
When you read an English book, you often come across new words. You might try to guess what the words mean from the words you know, but when you cannot guess the meanings of new words at all, what should you do?
You have a good friend then. From him you can learn what a word means, how to pronounce a word, how to use a word, and so on. This friend can always be with you, and you can always ask him to help you. Do you know who this friend is? It is a dictionary.
You can learn some important things about words from it, so you must know how to use it. 朋友
当你读英语书时，你经常会碰到新单词。你可能试着从你知道的词中猜这些词的意思，但是当你无法猜出这些词的意思时，你该怎么办呢？
这时你有一个好朋友。从他那里你可以学到单词的意思、发音及用法等。这个朋友可以经常伴你左右，你可以经常请他帮忙。你知道这个朋友是谁吗？他就是字典。
你可以从他那里学习有关词汇的众多重要知识，所以你必须学会如何使用字典。
come across 碰到 guess 猜测

Learning English in England
I came to England last summer. I have been in England for eleven months. I am going to finish my studies in England soon, and will leave for China next month.
At first it was very difficult for me to communicate with other people in English. Now I can speak English much better, and even understand English television, because I have studied hard and my teachers and classmates have helped me a lot.
I have lots of English friends now. Some of them have even invited me for dinner at their houses. They are interested to learn about China and Chinese people. Every time they ask me a lot of questions, I realize how little I know about my own country.
在英国学英语
去年夏天，我来到英国。现在我在英国已经待了十一个月了。我将很快结束在英国的学习，下个月我就将回中国了。
一开始，我觉得很难用英语和别人交流。现在我英语说得好多了，甚至可以看懂英语电视，这是因为我学习很努力，老师和同学对我的帮助也很大。
现在我有许多英国朋友。一些朋友甚至邀请我去他们家吃饭。他们对中国和中国人很感兴趣。每当他们问我许多问题时，我才意识到自己对祖国的了解是如此之少。
communicate 交流

Body Language
If you can speak English, you know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know — the language of the body.
All over the world, people "talk?with their hands, with their heads, and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together.
When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on the cheek only). When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles, and says "Hello? Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.
身体语言
即使你会说英语，你知道很多英文单词，你会读，会说，能听懂，但还有另外一种语言你需要了解——那就是身体语言。
在全世界，人们都用他们的手、头和眼睛“说话”。当日本人见面时，他们相互鞠躬。印度人见面时他们双手合十。
当英国人和美国人第一次和别人见面时，他们互相握手。通常，他们不和熟悉的人握手。女人有时亲吻她们的女性朋友，男人也会亲吻女性朋友（只亲脸颊）。当男人见到男性朋友时，他只微笑着说声“你好”。男人之间不会互相亲吻或牵手。即使是父子之间也不会经常亲吻对方。

Hobbies
My hobby is collecting stamps. When I began, I tried to collect the stamps of all the countries, but now I collect only Greek and Indian ones because I have friends in Greece and I live in India.
Some of my stamps are very pretty, and they are all interesting. When you look at stamps carefully,
they teach you a lot about the history of other countries.
My brother's hobby is watching trains. He goes to our station and watches them there. When an engine goes through the station he writes down its name and number. He likes train watching very much, but I don't. I went to the station with him one day, but it wasn't interesting.
My sister's hobby is sewing. She hasn't got a sewing machine, but she sews with our mother's. Sometimes she sews by hand too. She makes most of her clothes, and when I tear my shirt or my trousers, I take them to her and she mends them.
业余爱好
我的爱好是集邮。开始时，我设法收集所有国家的邮票，但是现在我只收集希腊和印度的，因为我有朋友在希腊，而我生活在印度。我的一些邮票非常漂亮，而且都很有趣。当你仔细看邮票时，它们会教你很多其他国家的历史。
我兄弟的爱好是看火车。他去我们的车站，在那里看火车。当一辆车进站时，他写下车名和车号。他非常喜欢看火车，但我不喜欢。一天，我和他一起去车站，但那一点都不有趣。 我姐姐的爱好是缝纫。她没有缝纫机，但她用妈妈的。有时她也用手缝。她大多数的衣服是她自己做的，当我扯破衬衣或裤子时，我就把它们拿给她补。
engine 火车头sewing 缝纫tear 撕破 mend 修补

Climbing Mountains
Do you like climbing mountains? My friend Ted does. He has never climbed a dangerous
mountain, but he has climbed some quite big and difficult ones. He began to climb rocks when he was a small boy. Ted liked it very much and he did not get very tired. The next year his father took him up some mountains in Scotland, and he was very happy.
Last summer holidays, Ted's uncle invited him to go to Switzerland. The mountains are high there. They went to Switzerland by train and had a very good holiday. They climbed several mountains. At the end of the holiday he said to Ted, "You are still very young, but you already climb
well."Ted was very glad.
Now Ted wants to go to China to climb some of the very high peaks in the Himalayas, but he is still too young and also he hasn't got enough money. Perhaps one day he will become rich, and then he will go to China.
爬山
你喜欢爬山吗？我朋友特德喜欢。他从没爬过危险的山，但他曾爬过一些很大很难爬的山。当他还是个小男孩的时候，他就开始攀登岩石了。特德很喜欢这个运动，一点也不感到疲倦。第二年，他父亲带他登上苏格兰的一些山，他非常开心。
去年暑假，特德的叔叔邀请他去瑞士。那里的山很高。他们乘火车去了瑞士，过了一个非常愉快的假期。他们爬了几座山。在假期结束时，叔叔对特德说：“你还很年轻，但你已经爬得很好了。”特德听了很高兴。
现在，特德想去中国，爬上喜玛拉雅山最高的山峰，但他年纪还太小，而且没有足够的钱。也许有一天他会变得富有，然后他就可以去中国了。

A Visit to the City Centre
On their first day in the capital, Diana and Peter visited the Old Tower which stood on a hill near the city centre. There were stairs leading to the top, but Diana and Peter decided to take the lift. At the top there was a cafe and a balcony where visitors could stand and enjoy the view. It was magnificent — you could see the whole city, the river and the hills beyond.
On their way back from the Tower, Diana and Peter went past the main square in the city centre. They stopped at a stall to have some orange juice, and sat and watched the traffic for a while. The square was very busy, with cars, buses, bicycles and pedestrians going in all directions. In the centre of the square there was a policeman controlling the traffic.
游览市中心
戴安娜和彼特第一天游览了首都市容，去了市中心附近小山上的古塔。古塔有楼梯直通塔顶，但戴安娜和彼特决定乘坐电梯。塔顶有一个咖啡厅和观光平台，游客可以俯瞰市容。这儿的景色很美丽——整座城市尽收眼底，还有远处的河流和群山。
在从古塔回来的路上，戴安娜和彼特游览了市中心广场。他们在一个小摊贩前停下喝果汁，坐下小歇一会，观赏街上的车水马龙，广场上小汽车、公共汽车、自行车和行人络绎不绝，广场中心一位警察在指挥交通。

A Bus Ride
One day I was on a bus. I found an elderly woman standing in front of me. She had a big bag in her hand. "It's a virtue for a young person to help the old,"I said to myself.
When I was standing up to give my seat to the old lady, a young foreigner got up quickly saying, "Please sit down."The old lady thanked him and sat down. She looked very happy.
I was a little embarrassed because I was sitting in the middle of the bus. Suddenly a pregnant
woman got onto the bus. I quickly stood up to give up my seat to her. The foreigner smiled at me. He said that he was an Australian, and was a student studying Chinese culture in China.
乘公共汽车
一天，我在一辆公共汽车上。我发现一位年长的妇人站在我的面前，她手里拿了个大包。“帮助老人是年轻人的美德。”我对自己说。
当我正要站起来把自己的座位让给那位老妇人时，一个年轻的外国人很快站了起来，说：“请这里坐。”老妇人谢谢他，然后坐下，她看上去非常高兴。

In a Strange City
If you go out by yourself in a strange city, you might get lost. What should you do? How can you find your way? Of course, if you never go out alone, you won't get lost, but you will also miss a lot of good experiences.
One thing you can do in case you get lost is take a map along. It might also be a good idea to take a card from your hotel, so you have the hotel's address. If the map doesn't help you, or if you
forget to take one, you must ask how to get where you're going. You can ask, for example, "There is Nova Hotel?'or "How do I get to Nova Hotel?"or "Do you know where Nova Hotel is?"Police officers and clerks in shops are often helpful when you ask directions.
在一个陌生的城市里
如果你在陌生的城市里一个人出去走走，你可能会迷路。那你该怎么办呢？你该如何找到路呢？当然，如果你从来不独自出门，你不会迷路，但是你将会错过许多很好的经历。
为了防止迷路，你能做的一件事就是随身携带一份地图。随身带一张酒店的卡片也是个好主意，这样你就知道酒店的地址了。如果地图帮不了你，或者你忘记带地图了，你必须向他人问路。例如，你可以问“Nova酒店在哪里？”或者问“我该怎么走才能到Nova酒店？”或者问“您知道Nova酒店在哪里吗？”当你要问路时，警察或商店的店员通常会帮助你。 get lost 迷路 experience 经历 in case 如果，万一

A School Outing
The date for school outing was set for June 20th. The principal told us it would cost six dollars each. "This year,"he said, "We will go by train. This is a change from last year."
We assembled at the school at 9 o'lock, and by 9:30 we were aboard the train. It was a good arrangement. Each car held two classes. Three cars were added to the regular train so that there would be enough room for other passengers. As our classes were only about thirty each, there was plenty of room.
We arrived at our destination by twelve, and each class went with its teacher to lunch. Then the guides came and took us for a tour of West Point and finally we stopped at a small river where we had snacks.
We were on the train again by six o'lock. We never needed the raincoats everyone was carrying. 一次学校旅行
学校旅行的日子定在六月二十日。校长告诉我们，每个人要花六美元。“今年，”他说，“我们将乘火车去。这与去年不同。”
我们九点在学校集合，九点半我们上了火车。这是个很好的安排。每个车厢可以容纳两个班。在常规列车上，加挂了三节车厢，这样其他的乘客也有足够的空间。因为我们每个班大约有三十人，所以有足够的地方。
我们十二点到达目的地，每个班和他们的老师一起去吃午饭。然后导游来带我们去游览西点军校，最后在小河边停下来，我们在那儿吃点心。
到六点钟，我们又登上了火车。我们根本没用上我们每个人都带的雨衣。
