3、il Mr Mandela and the ANC came to power in 1994. All that time my wife and children had to beg for food and help from relatives or friends. Luckily Mr Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Island. I felt bad the first time I talked to a group. All the
4、 terror and fear of that time came back to me. I remembered the beatings and the cruelty of the guards and my friends who had died. I felt I would not be able to do it, but my family encouraged me. They said that the job and the pay from the new South Africa government were my reward after working a
5、ll my life for equal rights for the Blacks. So now at 51 I am proud to show visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own land.A follower of Bill GatesI have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time. I knew him when he was a student at Harvard University. We were sur
6、prised when he left University to set up his own company” Microsoft” and make his own software. But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost all computers now use Microsoft software. The program “Word” is used from Britain to China! Of course he has made a lot
7、of money and that makes people very jealous. They want to stop his success. Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts. They say that he is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. Because hefits his new software free in every new computer,
8、the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their programs. This is not fair. Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger. Bill Gates has not only done what he can to stop other competitors. He is very rich, but he is generous. He has given millions o
9、f dollars to help the education and the health of many children around the world. You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates.A competitors of Bill GatesBill Gates has been very successful and become very rich. He is very generous but how has he got his money? He has down this by making sure tha
10、t no one else will be able to compete with his software. His software is not the best but it is used most widely in the world. When he sees what is needed, he makes a program and produces it quicker than anybody else. That way he gets a large part of the software market. Then he works on improving t
11、he software later. He tries hard to stop others making better software. In 1995 the government tried to make things fairer for people like me. The government wanted to make Microsoft into two companies so that neither of them was so strong nor so rich. This meant that they could not stop somebody el
12、se making new software. I always wonder how he could get so rich so quickly. Has he done it by fair means? Or has he done it by being a computer bully?必修二Unit 1In search of the amber roomFrederick William I, the king of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people
13、would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was als
14、o a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the countrys best artists about ten years to make.In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Fredrick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Fredrick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to
15、keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czars winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important vistors. Later, Catherine had the Ambe
16、r Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly, although the Amber Room was cns
17、idered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing.In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg. This was atime when the two countries were at war. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furnitures and small art objects from the Amber
18、 Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days 100000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at a time a German city on the Baltic Sea. After that, what happened to
19、 the Amber Room remains a mystery.Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace. By studying old photos of the former Amber room, they have made the new one looke like the old one. In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300
20、th bithday of their city.A fact of an opinionWhat is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact.Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someon
21、e believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinoion is not good evidence in a trail. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are ri

But he is also big in a different way he fights hard to protect Chinas past. His real name is Feng Jicai and he has written
24、 many novels about life in China. Several years ago, however, he put down his pen for a while and began to protect the cltural relics in Tianjin, where he lives. Once someon asked him why he no longer wrote. He replied that at the moment he felt protecting cultural relics was more important. Feng lo
25、ves his hometown. He believes that old things must be given a plave next to new thins, or people will soon forget ther great past. He does not make speeches to get others to help him in his projects. Instead he goes out and does what he can himeself. If others follow him, so much the better. One of
26、his biggest projects was to protect the oldest street in Tianjin. Along that street some shops had done business for seven hundred years. Althought the city government rebuilt this street, they did save its oldest昌吉市10万吨水果气调保鲜库项目建议书for degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later, Mr Mandela allow
