第01课 Hobbies

Lesson 1 Hobbies .

“Hobbies” are a great British and American tradition. A “ hobby' ” is a special interest or activity that you do in your time off.
Some people have animals as hobbies. They keep rabbits, or go fishing. They train dogs to do tricks, or keep pigeons to race and carry messages. Some are crazy about plants. They try to grow cacti or rare tropical flowers in their kitchens and sitting rooms.
Others are mad about their car or their motorbike. They spend their Saturdays and Sundays washing them, painting them, or buying new bits and pieces to make them go even faster.
Children and teenagers are great collectors. They collect stamps, or postcards, or matchboxes, or pictures of a favorite footballer or pop star.
Many people make things as a hobby. Some teach themselves at home, but a lot of people go to evening classes at their local college. Just look under letter B in a list of London or New York evening classes and you'll find: Ballet, Batik, Bengali dance, Body building, Bread-making and Byzantine history. Not everyone goes to evening classes to learn about his or her special interest. These people can read books or just learn on their own.

cacti [ 植 ] 仙人掌 (cactus 的复数形式 )
batik 蜡染
Bengali dance 孟加拉舞
Byzantine history 拜占庭历史

业余爱好

“业余爱好”是英国和美国的一项伟大传统。“业余爱好”是指你在空闲时从事的一项特别兴趣爱好或活动。
有些人的业余爱好是养动物。他们养兔子或者去钓鱼。他们训练狗耍把戏，或者养鸽子参加比赛和传送信息。有些人特别喜欢植物。他们在厨房和客厅里种上仙人掌或者稀有的热带花草。
还有的人很喜欢汽车或摩托车。他们在周六和周日洗车、上油漆或者购买新零件使车跑得更快。
小孩和青少年酷爱收集。他们收集邮票、明信片、火柴盒，或者喜爱的足球运动员或当红明星的图片。
很多人的业余爱好是自制物品。一部分人在家自学，但很多人到当地大学上夜校。浏览一下伦敦或纽约以 B
开头的夜校课程，你会找到：芭蕾舞、蜡染、孟加拉舞、健身、做面包和拜占庭历史。有些人并不是去夜校学习自己特殊爱好的，他们看书学习或完全靠自己琢磨。

第02课 Heads of State

Lesson 2 Heads of State

In America , the President is the Head of the States. He makes the most important decisions and chooses the members of his cabinet who will help him govern the country.
The President also represents the United States on official occasions. He receives ambassadors from other countries, gives parties for important visitors from abroad, and takes the first place in any national ceremony. Americans are always interested in the President's wife and children — the “first lady” and the “first family”. They expect their Presidents to have a good family life and to be an example to the country.
In Britain , the Queen is the head of State. She represents Britain (and the Commonwealth). She travels about the UK , meeting people, visiting schools and hospitals, and going to important local events. She and her husband, and other members of her family, also travel abroad as rather special ambassadors to other countries.
British people enjoy their “royals”. They like reading about them in newspapers, and seeing them on TV. To some they are like film stars, interesting just because they are famous.
Most people feel that the Queen is a symbol of Britain 's long history and national traditions.

Ambassador 大使
ceremony 典礼，仪式

国家元首

在美国，总统是国家元首，他决定最重要的事情并挑选能帮其治理国家的内阁成员。
美国总统也是在官方场合代表美国的人。他接见外国大使，为国外重要访客举行宴会，并主持所有国家典礼。美国人一贯对总统的妻子和孩子感兴趣——“第一夫人”和“第一家庭”。他们期望他们的总统家庭幸福，为全国树立榜样。
女王是英国的国家元首。她代表英国（和英联邦）。她走遍英国的每一个角落，会见民众、参观学校和医院，视察发生重大事件的地区。女王和她的丈夫，以及女王家庭的其他成员，也作为特殊的使者出访其他国家。
英国人喜欢他们的“王室成员”。他们喜欢阅读有关王室成员的新闻，看到他们在电视上露面。对他们来说，王室成员就像电影明星，因为有名而吸引人。人们大多觉得女王是英国悠久历史和国家传统的象征。

第03课 Clothes

Clothes

These dayes most people in Britain and the USA do not wear very former clothes, but

sometimes it is important to wear right thing. Many British people don't think about

clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy

themselvies they can wear almost anything. At theaters, movie houses and concerts you

can put on what you like, from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters.

Anything goes as long as you look clean and tidy. However, In Britain as well as

the USA, man and officers usually wear suits and ties and woman wear dresses and

skirts,jackets and small trousers. Docotors,lawyers and business people wear quite

former clothes. It's different to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the

United State because everyone is different.

If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same

or ask the advice of your friend or your host. You feel more relaxed if you don't

look too different from anyone else.

这些天很多英国人和美国人都没有穿以前的衣服，但是有时穿合适的服装是很重要的！很多英国

人不太在意穿着。只要穿着舒服就可以了。当他们出去玩时穿什么都可以。在剧院，电影院和音

乐厅，从优雅的外套和裙子到牛仔和羊毛衫，只要你喜欢穿什么都可以。

任何衣服都会穿的很长，只要你穿着干净得体。然而，在英国和美国，男人和办公人员通常穿

外套打领带，女士穿女装和裙子，夹克和小裤子。医生，律师和商业人员穿以前的衣服。很难具

体的说在英国和美国人们都穿什么因为每个人都不一样。

如果你不确定穿什么，看看其他人怎么穿然后照他们的穿或者问问你朋友或家里人的意见。如

果你看上去和别人穿着一样你会感觉越放松。

第04课 This Is Britain

Lesson 4 This Is Britain

"Great Britain" has several different names, "Britain", "United Kingdom", or just the "UK". There are four different countries in the United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Everyone from Britain is British, but only people from England are English. People from Scotland are Scottish, people from Wales are Welsh, and people from Northern Ireland are Irish.
Don't call a Scottish or Welsh person English. He won't like it!
Altogether more than 56 million people live in Britain, in big cities like London, Liverpool and Manchester, and in the open country with lovely hills and woods, quiet rivers, lakes and farmlands.
Everyone in Britain speaks English, but in some parts of Scotland and Wales people speak their dialects as well. The Welsh are required by the government to learn Welsh, and you can see road signs in Welsh all over Wales.
Everyone speaks English, but they do not all speak it in the same way. A Scottish person has to listen carefully if he wants to understand a Londoner and when a Welsh person speaks, everyone knows at once where he comes from!
Many people think that the weather is cold and wet in Britain all year round, but it isn't! True, it sometimes rains and even snows for days and days, but every year there are weeks of beautiful sunny weather when the British go out to sunbathe in their bikinis.

dialect 方言
sunbathe 日光浴
bikini 比基尼，三点式女泳装

这就是英国

“英国”有几个不同的称呼：“不列颠”、“联合王国”或“UK”。大不列颠联合王国由英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰四个地区组成。
所有大不列颠人都是英国人，但只有来自英格兰的人是英格兰人，来自苏格兰的是苏格兰人，来自威尔士的是威尔士人，来自北爱尔兰的是爱尔兰人。不要称苏格兰人或威尔士人为英格兰人，他们不喜欢。
英国总人口五千六百多万。大城市有伦敦，利物浦，曼彻斯特。在广袤无垠的乡村，可见秀丽的山峦和树林、静静流淌的河流、湖泊和农场。
英语是英国的通用语言，但在苏格兰和威尔士的一些地方，人们也讲自己的方言。威尔士政府要求威尔士人学习威尔士语，在威尔士全境可见使用威尔士语的交通标识。
人人都会说英语，但讲出来的方式不一样。苏格兰人要非常认真，才能听懂伦敦人讲的英语。威尔士人一开口讲英语，大家就知道他是哪里人了。
很多人认为英国的天气一年到头都是阴冷潮湿的，但事实不是这样。的确，有时会连续数日地下雨，甚至下雪，但每年都会有阳光灿烂的几周，这时候英国人就会穿着比基尼出来晒太阳。

第05课 A Lawn That Takes a Long Time To Make

Lesson5 A Lawn That Takes a Long Time To Make
Mr. Anderson lives in America, and last year he came to England to visit his father's hometown.
There was a big garden in the town with green grass in the centre. A gardener was watering it, and Mr. Anderson said to him, "Good morning. Is this your garden?"
"No," answered the gardener, "it isn't mine, but I work here."
"How do people get such a beautiful lawn?' Mr. Anderson asked."Ours are never as good as this.'
The gardener stopped his work and looked at Mr. Anderson. Then he said, "You are from America, aren't you?"
Mr. Anderson answered, "Yes, but my father came from here."
"Well,"the gardener said, "it's easy to grow lawns like this.
Let me tell you how."
Mr. Anderson went into the garden. 'My name's Anderson,' he said to the gardener, "What's yours?"
"My name's Gray," the gardener answered, "Now about the lawns.
First we sow our seeds; then when the grass appears, we pull all the weeds out; after that, we cut the grass every week. We water it every day when the weather is very dry."
"Oh," Mr. Anderson answered, "that's very interesting, Gray, and how long does it take before the lawn ends up like this?
The gardener thought for a few moments and then answered, 'Oh, about four hundred years."

lawn 草坪
sow 播种

历时弥久长成的草坪

安德森先生住在美国，去年他到英国参观他父亲的家乡。
镇上有个大公园，中间是绿草地。
一个园丁正在浇水，安德森先生对他说：“早上好。这是你的花园吗？”
“不是，”园丁答道，“不是我的，不过我在这里工作。”
“怎么才能有这么漂亮的草地呢？”安德森问，“我们从没有这么好的草坪。”
园丁停下手中的活，看着安德森先生问：“你是美国人，对吗？”
安德森先生回答：“是的，不过我父亲原是英国人。”
“哦，”园丁说：“种一块这样的草地很容易，我现在就告诉你。”
安德森先生走进公园。“我叫安德森。”，他问园丁，“你叫什么？”
“格雷，”园丁说，“现在来说说草坪。首先我们播种，然后等小草长出来后，除掉野草，之后每周都修剪。天气干燥的时候每天都浇水。”
“噢，”安德森先生回道，“真有意思，格雷，不过长成一块像这样的草地要多长时间呀？”园丁想了一会，之后说：“呃，大约四百年。”

第06课 Schools

Lesson6 Schools
In America, all children from six to sixteen go to school.
They spend six years in 'elementary' school, and four or six years in 'secondary or 'high' school. School education is free. At the end of every school year, the child takes a test.
If he does well, he goes into the next grade. If he doesn't do well, he has to repeat the grade. Some schools have modern teaching equipment, like computers and closed circuit television, but there are also small country schools, with just one classroom. At the end of their time at school, most students get a high school diploma. If they want to go on to college, they take college admission tests.
In Britain, all children from five to sixteen go to school. They spend six years in 'primary' school, and then go on to 'secondary' school. In Britain there are 'state' schools, which are free, and private schools for which parents pay.
Many British private schools are 'boarding' schools. The children stay at school all the time, and only come home in the holidays. They usually wear uniforms at all schools.
Teaching in both countries is usually quite informal. Students often work together in groups, and go to the teacher only when they need help.

closed circuit television 闭路电视
diploma 文凭，毕业证书
boarding school 寄宿学校

学校
在美国，六岁到十六岁的孩子在学校读书。他们读六年小学，四年或六年中学。中小学教育是免费的。每学年末，学生要参加考试。如果他顺利通过，就可升级，否则必须留级。有些学校有现代化的教学设备，像计算机和闭路电视，但也有小的只有一间教室的乡村学校。完成中学学业后，大多数学生会拿到中学毕业证书。如果想读大学，他们还需参加大学入学考试。
在英国，五岁到十六岁的小孩都要上学。他们读六年小学，然后读中学。英国有免费的“公立学校”，也有需要父母付费的私立学校。英国的很多私立学校是寄宿制学校，学生除在节假日回家外，其他时间都呆在学校里。所有学校的学生通常都要穿校服。
英美两国的教学大都很随意。学生通常组成小组学习，只在需要帮助时才会去找老师。

第07课 Universities

Lesson7 Universities
Nearly half of all Americans go on to college when they graduate from high schools. Some colleges are small, with only a few hundred students, but some of the big state universities are huge, with up to 60,000 students. There are more than 2,600 universities in the USA, and nearly all colleges have both men and women students.
You can study many interesting subjects at college, in short or long courses, but if you want to get a degree, you have to study for at least four years. Classes start in September and go on to early June with a break in the middle.
In Britain, you can get a degree at university, or in some of the many colleges of further education. There are 42 universities in Britain. There are also many colleges in Britain that teach English as a foreign language. Some have short courses (a few weeks or months), and some have one- or two-year courses.
University classes start in September and go on until mid-June with two breaks, one at Christmas, and one at Easter. Most degrees take three years, but some take four.

大学
接近一半的美国中学毕业生到大学继续求学。一些小的学院仅有几百个学生，但一些大的州立大学着实很大，学生多达六万。美国有两千六百多所大学，且几乎所有大学男女生兼收。
在大学你能学习很多有意思的课程，时间可长可短，但如果你想拿学位的话，至少要花四年时间。大学九月开学，持续到下年六月初，中间有一段假期。
在英国，你可从大学或为数众多的继续教育学院获得学位。英国有四十二所大学。有许多大学把英语作为一门外语教授。有些大学有短期课程（几星期或几个月），另有一些大学有一到两年的课程。
大学从九月到次年六月中旬授课，圣诞节和复活节放假。大多数学位要求三年学习时间，有些要求四年。

第 08 课 School Life at College
Lesson 8 School Life at College

　　Three months have passed since I entered university. I belong to the tennisclub, which is great for my health. In the club I have made a lot of friendsbut, sad to say, I don't have a girlfriend yet.
　　I am very busy with lessons this first semester. English is a requiredsubject, so I have to get at least a pass. I had a good shot at thequestions on the English exam yesterday. I probably scored at least 80points. However busy I may be with my part-time job and other pastimes, Iattend my language classes as often as possible, because if I am absent frommore than one-third of the classes, I cannot get the credits whatever thereason may be. I spent much time preparing for Chinese, but the lesson wascancelled today!
　　Tomorrow is the deadline for my physics paper which took me three days towrite. I hope to major in science education in the future.
shot 尝试；努力
大学校园生活

　　升入大学已经三个月了。我加入了网球俱乐部，这对健康大有好处。在俱乐部里，我交了很多朋友，遗憾的是，还没有交到女朋友。
　　第一个学期，我要忙于上课。英语是必修课，所以最起码我要通过这门课的考试，在昨天的英语考试中，发挥得还不错，最少也能得八十分。不管我多么忙于兼职工作和其他消遣，我还是尽可能多上语言课，因为如果缺课三分之一以上，不管有什么理由都不能拿到学分。我花了很长时间学习中文，不过今天这门课被取消了！
　　明天是提交物理课论文的最后期限，我花了三天的时间来写这篇论文。希望在将来我能够主修科学教育。

第09课 Oxford
Lesson9 Oxford
What is so special about Oxford and Cambridge, the two oldest universities in England? Why do so many students want to study there?
Both of these university towns are very beautiful. They have some of the finest architecture in Britain. Some of their colleges, chapels and libraries are three, four or even up to seven hundred years old, and are full of valuable books and precious paintings. Both towns have many lovely gardens, where the students can read and relax in the summer months.
Oxford is the older university of
