Joanna Cole is the author of a wealth of children’s books on various subjects. Cole’s fertile imagination has provided beginning readers with jokes and puzzles, humorous tales of the Clown-Around family, and books about science. The winner of countless awards, Cole follows her own widespread interests to write. She is credited with introducing the interesting world of science to young readers through her book series such as the hugely popular “Magic School Bus” books, which inspired its own television program. A careful researcher, Cole is praised for her scientific accuracy, but her books gain most of their effectiveness from her humor and easily understood explanations of difficult technical subjects.
Cole first discovered the pleasure o f writing when she was in grade school. “I discovered in the fifth grade what I liked to do: write reports and stories, make them interesting and draw pictures to go along with the words. Science was my favorite. Our teacher, Miss Bair, would ask us to read a science book every week. And each week, she would choose one student to do an experiment and report on it to the class.
I would have done an experiment every week if she had let me. Grade school was much more influential than my later education. Maybe that’s why as an adult I ended up writing books for children.”
After graduating from the City College of New York, Cole pursued (追求) her interest in books. After some graduate education courses, she spent a year as a librarian in a Brooklyn elementary school. Cole then became an editor at Scholastic. It was during her first job at the elementary school that she was inspired by an article about cockroaches (蟑螂) in The Wall Street Journal. Realizing that this was a subject she had never read about in school, Cole decided to write about it herself. The first publisher rejected the idea, but Cole had more luck when she sent her book to the publishing house of William Morrow, where Editor Connie C. Epstein helped her improve her skills in science writing. Beginning with that book, Cole has continued to pen both nonfiction and fiction for younger readers. In 1980, after ten years’ editing children’s books, she became a full-time writer.

Dear Allen,
I am delighted to learn that this year’s assessment of my performance is very positive. I enjoy working for Sunflower Corporation and will continue to serve the firm to the best of my ability.
In the light of this positive assessment, I would like to request a promotion (提拔) from my present position as Acting Director to that of full Director to be considered. I think there should also be a pay increase involved in this promotion.
As you know, I came to the Training and Development Department five years ago. Over the past five years, I have taken on the responsibilities of the department as the Acting Director. I have tried to improve the existing training courses to ensure (确保) a systematic training program. I have also taken steps to enrich our training courses even though this was not part of the job requirements. For example, I led a team in designing several training courses using detailed training material. Two of the programs, such as, “The Mystery of Leadership” and “Striving for Excellence”, enable us to offer 12 additional training courses. These programs help meet the needs of staff from all levels and practices within the firm.
As you also know, I founded and lead our campus recruitment (招聘) program —“Sunflower Management Trainee Program”, which is widely recognized in many universities.
Needless to say, I very much enjoy my present job. However, the above projects are beyond the original job description. They require me to spend extra hours and take additional responsibilities in order to ensure their proper implementation (实施).
Given my positive performance and the additional effort I have made, I would very much appreciate your consideration in reviewing my official position with the company, along with a pay increase.
Thank you for your attention and I look forward to your favorable reply.
Your sincerely,
Thomas

In a Station of the Metro
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.
This is the only Ezra Pound poem that many people will read in their lives. Why? One obvious reason is that it’s just two lines long. The poem, which can be understood as “A man sees a bunch of faces in the subw ay and thinks they look like flowers on a tree branch,” is an exercise in shortness. Pound wrote it after having a spiritual experience in a Paris metro (subway) station.
In 1916, the US poet originally thought he could best describe his vision in a painting. Unfortunately, he wasn’t a painter. So he wrote a thirty-line poem, which he didn’t like. He dropped the long version in the waste bin. Six months later, he wrote a shorter poem, but didn’t like that one either. Finally, a full year after the e xperience, he had been reading short Japanese poems called haikus, and he figured he would try this style. The result, which was published in 1913, is one of the most famous and influential works in modern poetry.
This poem is one of the monuments (纪念物) of the 20th-century artistic movement known as “Imagism”. Basically, Pound and his friends thought that images (意象) weren’t just decoration: they were the highest form of speech. By finding the right image, the poet can express the true, spiritual reality of a thing, which is more important than using a bunch of adjectives to describe its physical appearance. Thus, “In a Station of the Metro” is a poem that consists of one image expressed with absolute (绝对的) exactness and nothing else.
To the imagists, the best way to describe an experience is not to use more and more words; the best way is to find exactly the right words. Have you ever told a beloved one that “words can’t express” how much you love them? Well, Pound would say that you’re just b eing lazy. In his view, words can express anything, even if it takes an entire year to find the right ones.
28. In the short poem, Ezra Pound _____.
A. tells us one of his painful experiences
B. compares the passengers’ faces to flowers
C. describes a man walking among the crowd
D. shows a wet, black tree branch in a metro station
29. According to the text, “In a Station of the Metro” was _____.
A. based on one of Pound’s paintings
B. first discovered in a waste bin
C. influenced by haikus
D. completed in 1916
30. Pound and his friends _____.
A. stressed the importance of using adjectives
B. were good at describing abstract images
C. decorated their poems with pictures
D. used images to express their ideas
31. Pound would probably think one’s hard efforts to find a single right word was
_____.
A. a bit ridiculous
B. very worrying
C. rather surprising
D. really worthwhile
D

“A serious attack on the fairy tale as children’s literature (文学) comes from those who don’t wish children to be frightened,” writes C.S. Lewis in an essay.
Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things. First, they mean that we mustn’t do anything likely to make children frightened. Secondly, they want to keep out of their minds the fact that they are born into a world of death, violence, pain, and adventure. C.S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.
He comments that “since it is so likely that they will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. By limiting your child to blameless stories of child life in which nothing at all alarming ever happens, you would fail to drive away the terrors, but would succeed in driving away all that can make them brave.”
I love the story about St. George. It may be hard to find, but make an effort to make your children familiar with St. George and the Dragon by Margaret Hodges to see the best of this tale. It is a successful adaptation (改写本) from Spenser’s Faierie Queen. It begins with “In the days when monsters and giants and fairy folk lived in England, a noble knight was riding across the plain ...” It’s a keeper, if you can find one to buy.
Bruno Bettelheim, a well-known child psychologist, also comments that fairy tales provide children with an invaluable education. He believes that all children have a rich supply of personal fantasies filled with fears and anxieties and that fairy tales comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.
A good fantasy suggests rather than tells possible answers to life. I believe that reading fantasy literature quickens the ability to transfer (转移) ideas from tales to reality. It’s what good literature does — it makes life larger.
32. C.S. Lewis may probably agree that _____.
A. children shouldn’t be exposed to death or violence
B. children should be brave and have rich imagination
C. children shouldn’t be allowed to read frightening stories
D. children should read fairy tales to learn about the real world
33. What do we know about St. George and the Dragon?
A. It is worth keeping.
B. It was written by Spenser.
C. It tells a beautiful love story.
D. It is difficult for children to read.
34. In the text, Bruno Bettelheim believes that fairy tales _____.
A. show what happy life is
B. are filled with fears and pain
C. cause children too much anxiety
D. teach children how to solve problems
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. What books children should read
B. Whether people should read fairy tales
C. How parents should choose books for kids
D. Why reading fantasy literature matters to children

Upon arrive, we were divided into several groups and our coach introduces the course to us. Shortly afterwards, we got involved in various activity. One of them was jumping across a broken bridge.

Dear Lisa,
I learned from your letter that you read the Chinese poem Sympathy for the peasants but couldn’t make good sense of it. Therefore, I would like to tell you something about it.
The poem was written by Li Shen, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. Its theme advocates saving food. In the poem, the poet describes a scene in which a peasant is working hard in the field on a burning hot day and his sweat is pouring onto the field. The poem reflects the hardship of peasants. It prai ses peasants’ contribution and persuades us not to waste any food. Although it is simple and direct, the language suits its theme.
I’m wondering whether you have a better understanding about the poem. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours, Li Hua

第一单元 路永在前方 阿什利塔·福曼是一位热衷挑战并总想争创吉尼斯纪录的运动员。在过去25年中，他大约(approximately)已经打破了93项吉尼斯世界纪录，至今，他仍然是其中20多项纪录的保持者，还包括拥有最多的吉尼斯纪录这一项。但是这些记录并不是像游泳或足球等一般运动项目那样创建的，而是阿什利塔试图在非常有趣的地点，在富有想像力的运动项目中打破的。 最近，阿什利塔完成了他的梦想:在所有七大洲破一项纪录，其中包括在澳洲玩呼啦圈，在南美洲的水下做弹簧单高跷游戏，在北美洲的热气球中做膝部深弯曲运动。 虽然这些活动看起来孩子气且令人发笑而不是让人肃然起敬，但实际上(in reality),完成这些活动需要强大的力量,健康的体格和坚定的决心。 想想吧,你一边走路,一边还要把一瓶牛奶顶在头上，你的脖子需要的多好的适应力。你可以停下来休息或吃东西，但瓶子必须呆在头上。 当阿什利塔站在75厘米高的瑞士球上时，看起来虽然很轻松容易，其实不然。呆在球上得一直全神贯注，还需要有极强的注意力和极好的平衡感。特别是在双腿开始抖动的时候，你还得使劲呆在球上。 然而沿着12英里的马路翻筋斗,情况又是怎样的呢？翻筋斗是一项艰苦的运动,因为你必须克服头晕、极度疲劳和痛苦。每翻滚一个小时,只允许休息5分钟,不过也可以短暂地停下来呕吐(vomit)。 做标准的体操(gymnastically)弓箭步动作向前，以最快的节奏走完1英里的路程是阿什利塔又一个出色的项目。弓箭步冲刺对你的双腿是一个极端艰苦的考验。开始时呈站立姿势，然后右脚向前迈一步，同时左膝触地，然后再站起来，左脚向前迈出一步，同时右膝触地。想想吧，这个动作要反复做1英里远！ 然而，这位有才能的运动员并不是天生的。小时候，他很不健康(unfit)，而且对运动毫无兴趣。但他却对《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》非常着迷(fascinated)。 阿什利塔究竟是怎样成为一位运动员的呢？这是一个有趣的故事。少年时,他就开始探究人生的深层的意义。他研究过东方宗教，16岁时，他发现了一位名叫斯里琴摩的印度静坐功(mediation)导师，住在纽约市他家附近。自从20世纪70年代初，阿什利塔就一直是斯里琴摩的学生。斯里琴摩指出，人们发展他们的体魂与发展他们的头脑、心灵和精神上的(spiritual)自我具有同等的重要性，并且他相信人的体能是没有局限的。 当阿什利塔1978年在纽约市中央公园进行的24小时自行车马拉松(marathon)比赛中获得第三名时，他就知道总有一天他将进入《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》。尽管从没有训练过，他还是受到他的精神领袖的敦促参加了马拉松比赛。因此,当他取得第三名的时候，他开始有了这样的认识：他的身躯只不过是他的精神的工具，而且他似乎能够利用他的精神力量去完成任何事。从那时起，阿什利塔就拒绝接受任何身体极限的说法。 由于有了这种新的信心, 阿什利塔于1979年第一次打破吉尼斯纪录——跳爆竹27000次。不断努力打破纪录的动机源来自他对斯里琴摩思想的虔诚。每次试图破纪录的时候，阿什里塔都会达到一个体力不可逾越的极限点。这个时候，他就会进入自己的内心深处，与他的灵魂(soul)和他的老师相沟通。 在创纪录的努力中，阿什利塔总是要感谢他的老师。事实上，他常穿着一件T恤衫，后背上有斯里琴摩的名言： “完美的道路只有一条,它就在你前方,永远在你前方。” 集中精力于……
选修6 Unit 1 Art-Reading A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD. The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD) During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way. The Renaissance (15th to 16th century) During the Renaissance, new ideas and values graduallv replaced those held in the Middle Ages.People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess t heir own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the roles of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous. Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century) In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal. from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes. Naturally, these changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris.

人教版选修10课文译文 一次成功的失败经历 如果起初不成功，就要一次又一次地尝试。——W·C·菲尔兹 1914 年 8 月，珀斯·布莱克鲍罗参加了欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士的“持久号”轮船南极探险。沙克尔顿是他那个时代最负盛名的探险家，加入他的探险活动被认为是一种巨大的荣耀。现在请看读帕斯所讲故事的第一部分。 1916 年 8 月 29 日慢慢地，我把头探出睡袋，向四周看了看。一切都是灰色的：小屋里面看上去是灰色的，晨曦看上去是灰色的，燃油炉上噗噗作响的罐子也是灰色的。同往常一样，气味中混合着汗液、海豹油脂和脏内衣的味道，几乎让人难以忍受。我尝试着想一些快乐的事情：温暖和干爽的衣服、舒适的卧室、阳光灿烂的日子、妈妈的脸庞，以及返家后得到的庆贺，因为我是试图横穿南极大陆的一次失败探险活动的成员之一，这种事以前还没有人做过。正想到这儿，一条黑毛毯掉下来把我盖住，几乎把美好时光的记忆封闭住了。 一想到由于冻伤变黑而必须截去的腐烂的脚趾头，我就感到喘不过气来。我们的境况让人绝望，谁也不清楚会不会活着回去。也许好些年后，我们的尸体会被其他探险队所辨认并搜集起来。 正当我快要变得自我怜惜起来时，我们营棚的门开了，一股冷空气穿过营棚。“把门关上!”我用一种自己都快辨认不出来的沙哑的嗓音嚷嚷道。“坚持下去，珀斯。不要变成另一个汤姆。”一个声音在应答。“我们又逮住了一只企鹅，今晚有企鹅汤喝了!”保佑弗兰克一吓尔德，他可是我们的头儿欧内斯特·沙克尔顿之外最好的人啦。我怎么能像汤姆·奥德·利兹那样自私自利和脾气暴躁呢!我挣扎着下床，新的一天开始了。 当初宣布探险活动时，我才 20 岁，老梦想着要去冒险。所以在 1914 年 7 月的一个早晨，我是怀着无比激动的心情读以下这则广告的： 为危险之旅招募人手：工资低廉、寒冷无比、数月不见天日、无法确保安全返回。如果成功，荣耀和报酬将会接踵而至。欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士。 同伟大的欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士去南极探险——我被深深地迷住了!我是探险的门外汉，但我年轻，身体健康而且精力充沛。我偷偷地上了“持久号”轮船，藏在一个小橱里。直到轮船已开始航行了，我才被人发现，而且晕船晕得很厉害。不管怎么说，沙克尔顿似乎对我傻乎乎的行为感兴趣，并且接受了这种局面。他让我当一名伙计，协助做 28 个人一天三顿的饭菜。 1915 年 1 月 18 日，正当我们接近南极时，“持久号”被海上的浮冰(有的坚固无比，有的破裂成若干巨大的冰块浮在水上)卡住了。周围的冰都冻结了，我们千真万确地被困住了!轮船在我们的眼前慢慢地被挤坏。我相信沙克尔顿肯定会对这次探险意想不到的结局而痛心，但他并没有把时间浪费在遗憾和悔恨中。他镇静地把大家召集在一起，然后紧急宣布我们必须在船沉下去之前，只抢出基本给养，尤其是小船、食物、炊具、蜡烛、卧具和衣服。为了显示自己的决心，沙克尔顿把一些金币和他的金表扔到冰上。然而，让我感到惊讶的是，他竟鼓励赫西带上班卓琴。他把班卓琴描述成让我们保持精神振奋的关键。 他的顽强精神赢得了我们对他的完全信赖。他对我们也总是坦诚相待(就像广告中那样)，他从不灰心丧气，从不放弃，甚至当轮船沉下去时也是如此。1916 年 4 月 9 日，我们搬到了大象岛上现在的宿营地。不久沙克尔顿给我们这里的生活列出了规矩：取消级别和社会地位上的差异，每个人都得忙起来；公平分配食物和卧具；关心每一个人。这种团队精神鼓舞了船员们的士气，并挽救了我们的生命。 我们在大象岛上一安顿好，沙克尔顿就马上向大家解释了他的营救计划：22 人留在这里，他挑选其他五个人去南乔治亚求援。由于谁也不知道我们身处何地，所以不能指望任何外部救援。我永远也不会忘记眼看着小船从哗哗作响的波浪中消失在波涛汹涌的大洋里的情景。留在大象岛上的人发誓要按他所主张的那样做：在他返回来救我们之前要保持乐观、恢复健康。
