第一篇 Taking Pictures of the World
Meet Annie Griffiths Belt,a National Geographic photographer.Belt has worked for National Geographic since 1978,(1978年前未提及) and has taken pictures on almost every continent in the world.In fact,Antarctica is the only continent Belt hasn't seen yet.
Belt's photographs are well known for their beauty and high quality.They also reflect very different cultures and regions of the world.Belt has photographed the ancient city of Petra, Jordan(约旦古城) , as well as the green landscapes(n.风景,风景画)of the Lake District in England.Recently, her pictures appeared in a book about undeveloped natural places in North America.
Everywhere that Belt goes, she takes pictures of people.Belt has found ways to connect with people of all ages and nationalities国籍,民族 think about
even when she does not speak their language." The greatest privilege特权,优惠 酬劳的of my job is being allowed into people's lives," she has said."The camera is like a passport, and I am often overwhelmed by…我常常被……搞得不知所措how quickly people welcome me ! "
Knowing how to break the ice has helped to make Belt a successful photographer, but experts say that anyone can learn to connect with new people.When people speak the same language, greeting and small talk can make strangers feel more comfortable with each other.When people don't speak the same language , a smile is very helpful.Having something in common can also help break the ice.彼此的共同点也有利于打开话题For example , Belt has traveled with her two children , so when she takes pictures of children or their parents, they all have that family connection in common.Even bad weather can help people to connect when they are experiencing it together.一起体验坏天气能够协助人们促进相互间的交流。
Belt has some advice if you are thinking about a career in photography.You can volunteer to take pictures for a local organization that can't afford to hire a professional photographer.You can also take a good, honest look at your best photographs.If you're a real photographer, your photos are good because of your personal and technical skills.Belt also recommends studying and learning from photos taken by professional photographers.
Remember, the next time you look as a beautiful photograph, you might be looking at the work of Annie Griffiths Belt.And the next time you meet a new person, don't be afraid to break the ice.the connection you make could be very rewarding值得的,有益的.
镜头中的世界
让我们来认识摄影师艾妮?格里菲斯?贝尔特。贝尔特从1978年以来就一直在为《国家地理》杂志拍摄照片,她的拍摄足迹几乎遍及世界上的所有大洲。实际上,南极洲是贝尔特唯一没亲眼见过的大洲。
贝尔特的拍摄作品因美轮美奂和质量上乘而广为人知,它们也反应了世界上不一样的文化和地区。贝尔特曾经为约旦古城佩特拉和英格兰湖区的美景拍过照片。最近,在一本简介北美未开发的自然区域的书中出现了她的摄影作品。
无论去哪里,贝尔特都在所到之处拍下人物照片。贝尔特已经找到在语言不通的情况下和不一样年龄、不一样民族的人进行沟通的措施。“我的工作的最大优势就是能够走进人们的生活,”她说,“摄影机就像通行证同样,并且我常常因为人们迅速地接纳我而被搞得手足无措!”
懂得怎样打开话题协助贝尔特成为了一名成功的摄影师,不过教授们声称任何人都能学会怎样同陌生 人打交道。当语言相通时,打招呼和相互寒暄能使陌生人之间感到更舒适。当语言不通时,微笑就会变得很有用。彼此的共同点也有利于打开话题。例如,贝尔特常 和她的两个孩子一起旅行,因此当她为孩子们或孩子们的父母拍照时,他们就有了相同之处:家庭联系。甚至一起体验坏天气也能够协助人们促进相互间的交流。
假如你正在考虑从事摄影行业,贝尔特对此有某些提议。你能够当个志愿者为没钱请专业摄影师的地 方机构拍摄照片。你也能够用老实的态度仔细端详自己最佳的摄影作品。假如你是一位真正的摄影师,你的作品会因为你的个人特色和精湛的技艺而变得出类拔萃。 贝尔特也推荐向专业摄影师的作品学习。
记住,当你下一次看到漂亮的照片时,也许你看的正是艾妮?格里菲斯?贝尔特的作品。当你下一次遇见陌生人时,不要胆怯打开话题。你为沟通所做的一切都是非常值得的。
第二篇 "Own" Your Children's Education
"Helping them isn't about showing your kids how to do the work.It's about being genuinely interested and having regular conversations about what they're learning,''says J.Gary Knowles,a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education,part of the University of Toronto.
Rozon has a slew【许多】of suggestions for how to get more,-involved."Get to know the teacher.Discuss ways to tailor the assignments to your child's learning style.Spend time in the classroom.Ask for outlines of unit studies so you can find supplementary materials at the library or through videos.Read your child's textbooks:If you work a few pages ahead,you'll be able to help them with problems they encounter.''
Reading is another must,says Rozon."Even after your children can read themselves,hearing somebody else read aloud is important.We nearly always have a book on the go我们几乎总是有一本书在读(天天读一部分,读完再换一本); we read for at least a half hour before bedtime.
The more engaged a parent is, the more the child benefits,adds Bruce Ami."The evidence is clear:Parental involvement is One of the most important factors in school success.Arai cites the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth,sponsored by Human Resources Development Canada(HRDC),which is measuring all aspects of child development."The hours children spend in class are but2 one element of their education'',states HDC,which says parental support,along with teacher support and a positive attitude towards school.all contribute to academic success.
"I see every moment of every day as a learning experience." says Goforth."The most satisfying part of it is seeing the,love of learning continued.I'm not squelching压制,压服my children's desire to learn by insisting they learn.They learn because they want to."
Adds Jeanne Lambert,mother of Carey Graham: "Make the time(抽闲),take the time(花心思),guide,lead,and encourage.If nothing else,your children learn you care,and that's the most important lesson you can give them."虽然没有别的收获,你的孩子也会懂得你在乎他们。
译文:
“拥有”孩子的教育
多伦多大学安大略教育学院的教授J.Gary Knowles说:“协助孩子不是告诉孩子怎样做。你要 对他们所学的东西真正感兴趣,并和他们常常进行对话。”
怎样才能更多地参加,Rozcm给了许多提议。“与老师相识,并讨论怎样量体裁衣地布置某些 适合你孩子学习格调的作业。花些时间在教室里。索要每个单元的提纲,这么的话,你能够在图 书馆或者电视里找到补充材料。阅读孩子的教科书:假如你能提前读几页,你就能帮他们处理遇 到的问题了。”
Rozcm以为朗诵是另外一件必须做的事情。“虽然你的孩子已经能自己阅读了,听他人大声朗诵也是重要的。我们几乎总是有一本书在读,天天睡前我们最少阅读半个小时。”
Bruce Ami说,父母投入越多,孩子获益越多。“有证据清楚地表白:父母的参加是孩子在 学校的学习得以成功的重要原因之一。” Ar祐引甩了加拿大人力资源发展部(HRDC)发起的一 项对孩子发展的各个领域进行测量的全国青少年纵向调查。HRDC表白,“孩子在课堂的时间 只是他们所受教育的一部分”,父母的支持、老师的帮劢和看待学习的积极态度都会促进学业 的成功。
Goforth说:“我把每一天的每一刻都看做是学习的经历。” “最满意的部分就是看到对学习的 热爱得以延续。我不会一味地压制我的孩子对学习的渴望。他们学是因为他们想学。”
Carey Graham的妈妈Jeanne Lambert补充说:“抽出时间,花点心思,去指引、引导和激励。 虽然没有别的收获,你的孩子也会懂得你在乎他们,这是你能够给孩子上的最重要一课。”
【新增】第三篇Across the Deserts
The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. It stretches延伸,伸展across Africa from Senegal to Egypt. The Sahara Desert is an unfriendly environment. During the day it's veryhot, and at night it’s sometimes very cold. It is also difficult to find water in the Sahara.
In , Kevin Lin, Ray Zahab, and Charlie Engle decided to do something very difficult. They made the decision to run across决正跑步横跨the Sahara Desert 4,300 miles (6,920km). It seemed impossible to do, but they wanted to try. The three men liked to test themselves, and this would be a very big test.
On the morning of November 2, Kevin, Ray, and Charlie started their trip across the Sahara. Every morning they began running at 5:00. At11 a.m. they stopped and rested until 5 p.m. Then they ran again until 9:30 in the evening. Each day they ran about 40 miles (64 km). Every day it was the same thing. They got up and ran. They listened to music on their iPods, and they ran and ran.
Kevin, Ray, and Charlie needed to eat a lot of food during their trip. Most people need about 2,000 calories卡路里of food each day. Kevin, Ray, and Charlie needed between 6,000 and 9,000 calories every day. That's a lot of food! They also needed to drink a lot of water.
The three men had some problems on their trip, and many times they wanted to quit停止,放and go home. It was often very hot (140°F/60°C) during the day, and the heat made them sick. Their legs and feet hurt. Sometimes it was very windy, and they couldn't see. One time they got lost. But they didn't quit. After 111 days, Kevin, Ray; and Charlie successfully finished their trip across the Sahara Desert. They hugged each other and put their hands in the water of the Red Sea. Then they ran to a hotel to take a long shower.
穿越沙漠
撒哈拉沙漠是世界上最大的沙漠。它从塞内加尔到埃及横跨非洲。撒哈拉沙漠的环境不好。白天非常热,晚上有时候又很冷。在撒哈拉沙漠中极难找到水。
,Kevin Lin, Ray Zahab, 和 Charlie Engle决定做些困难的事情。他们决定跑步穿越4300英里(6920千米)的撒哈拉沙漠。这似乎是不也许完成的,不过他们还想尝试一下。他们三人喜欢挑战自己,而这将是一个很大的挑战。
11月2日的上午,Kevin, Ray , 和 Charlie开始了他们跑步穿越撒哈拉的旅程。他们天天上午5点开始跑。到上午11点停下来休息,然后到下午5点继续跑。一直跑到下午9点半。他们天天大约跑40英里(64千米)。天天如此,起床,跑步。听着Ipad里的音乐不停的跑。
在旅途中,Kevin, Ray , 和 Charlie需要吃诸多的食物。大多数的人天天需要卡路里的热量,而他们3人天天需要6000-9000卡路里。那真是诸多食物!他们天天也需要喝大量的水。
三人在旅途中也出现了诸多问题,诸数次他们都想放弃回家,白天一般很热(140华氏度/60摄氏度),高温导致他们生病,他们的腿和脚都受了伤。有时候白天刮起了大风导致他们什么也看不见。又一次他们迷了路,不过他们没有放弃。111天后Kevin, Ray , 和 Charlie成功滴完成了他们穿越撒哈拉沙漠的旅途。他们彼此拥抱,把手伸进红海的海水里然后他们跑进旅馆好好滴洗了个澡。
第四篇 Smoking
Since 1939, numerous studies have been conducted to determine whether smoking is a health hazard. The trend of the evidence has been consistent and indicates that there is a serious health risk. Research teams have conducted studies that show beyond all reasonable doubt that tobacco smoking is associated with a shortened life expectancy预期寿命.
Cigarette smoking is believed by most research workers in this field to be an important factor in the development of cancer of the lungs and cancer of the throat and is believed to be related to cancer of some other organs of the body. Male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from heart disease than non-smoking males. Female smokers are thought to be less affected because they do not breathe in the smoke so deeply.
Apart from statistics, it might be helpful to look at what smoking tobacco does to the human body. Smoke is a mixture of gases, vaporized chemicals, minute particles of ash and other solids. There is also nicotine, which is powerful poison, and black tar. As smoke is breathed in, all those components form deposits on the membranes of the lungs. One point of concentration is where the air tube and bronchus divides. Most lung cancer begins at this point.
Filters and low tar tobacco焦油含量低的烟草 are claimed to make smoking to some extent safer, but they can only slightly reduce, not eliminate the hazards.
译文:吸烟
自1939年以来,人们进行了无数次研究,以确定吸烟是否危害健康。证据的趋向是一致的, 并且显示出吸烟对健康有严重危害。研究组进行的研究超出了所有合理的怀疑,表白吸烟与人的 预期寿命的缩短有关。
这个领域的大部分研究人员都以为吸烟是肺癌和喉癌产生的重荽原因,并且和人体其他某些 器官的癌症有关。吸烟的男性因心脏病的死亡率禽于不吸烟的男性。女性吸烟者被以为受的影响 较小,因为她们不深吸烟。
除了统计之外,看一看吸烟对人体的作用也也许会有协助。烟是各种气体、蒸发的化学物、 微小的灰和其他固体颗粒的混合物。里面尚有很强的毒素尼古丁和黑焦油。当烟被玻入时,所有 这些成份形成肺膜上的沉淀物。集中的一点是气管和支气管分叉的地方。大部分肺癌开始于这 一点。
过滤嘴和焦油含量低的烟草被宣称使抽烟在某种程度上安全某些,不过它们只能稍微减少危 害而不是消除危害。
第五篇 Plant and Mankind
Botany植物学, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. We don’t know what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrialial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, Medicines, shelter, and many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.
Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants. And the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic
ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000years ago, discovered that certain
grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season,
the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.
植物与人类
植物学,即对植物研究的科学,在人类文明发展的历史长河中占据着特殊地位。我们不懂得 旧石器时代的祖先们对植物到底了解多少,但依照我们对现存的前n:业社会的研究,能够肯定对 植物及其特点的详细了解一定非常久远。这种分析是合乎逻辑的。植物不不过其他-切生物所需 食物的根基,甚至也是其他类型植物的食物起源。它们对于人类的幸福一直是相称重要的,它们 不但仅为人们提供食物,还提供衣服、武器、工具、染料、药物、住所和许多其他东西。生活在 亚马逊河的丛中的原始部落,能识别成百上千种不词植物,懂得每丨种植物的属性。他们没有 植物学这个概念,甚至也许没故意识到它是知识界的一个分支:
不幸的是,我们的工业化程度越髙,人类与植物间的直接联系就越少,并且对植物学知识的 了解也就变得越来越含糊。然而每个人都会在无意识中取得大量的植物知识,极少会有人辨别不 出玫瑰、苹果或兰花。大约」万年前,当居住在中东的新石器时代的老袓先们发觉某些草能够用 来种植,并且到了来年再把种子种在地里能够得到吏好的收成时,人们与植物之间的联系迈出了 崭新伟大的一步。谷物的发觉创造了人类农业发展史上的奇迹,即耕种庄稼。从那时起,人类就 越来越多地从可控制的几个植物的生产丰族取生计纟而不是从野生的众多个类中东采一点,西摘 一点。在数万年的经验中积累起来的知识以及与大自然中各种植物的紧密联系也就开始消失。
第三部分 概括大意与完成句子
第一篇 The Making of a Success Story
1 IKEA is the world's largest furniture retailer, and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the world's most successful entrepreneurs(企业家). Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a business一IKEA.
2 IKEA's name comes from Kamprad's initials (I.K.) and the place where he grew up ('E' and 'A'). Today IKEA is known for its modern, minimalist furniture格调简约的家俱, but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods. Kamprad's wares货物 included anything that he could sell for profits at discounted prices折扣价, including watches, pens and stockings.
3 IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The fUrniture was all designed and made by manufacturers near Kamprad's home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product line. Furniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furnit
