Three Days to See(excerpt)
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live.Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twentyfour hours.But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours.I speak，of course，of free men who have a choice，not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.
Such stories set us thinking，wondering what we should do under similar circumstances.What events，what experiences，what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in reviewing the past，what regrets?
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow.Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life.We should live each day with a gentleness，a vigor，and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to e.There are those，of course，who would adopt the Epicurean motto of “Eat，drink，and be merry，”but most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.
In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune，but almost always his sense of values is changed.He bees more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values.It has often been noted that those who live，or have lived，in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.
Most of us，however，take life for granted.We know that one day we must die，but usually we picture that day as far in the future.When we are in buoyant health，
death is all but unimaginable.We seldom think of it.
假如给我三天光明(节选)
我们大家都读过一些令人激动的故事，这些故事里的主人公仅仅活在有限并且特定的时间内，有时长达一年，有时短到24小时。但我们总是有兴趣发现，那命中注定要死的是那些有选择自由的人，而不是那些活动X围被严格限定了的判了刑的犯人。
这样的故事让我们思考，在相似的情况下，我们该怎么办，作为终有一死的人，在那最终的几个小时内安排什么事件，什么经历，什么交往？在回顾往事时，我们该找到什么快乐？什么悔恨？
有时我想到，过好每一天是个非常好的习惯，似乎我们明天就会死去。这种态度鲜明地强调了生命的价值。我们应该以优雅、精力充沛、善知乐趣的方式过好每一天。而当岁月推移，在经常瞻观未来之时日、未来之年月中，这些又常常失去。当然，也有人愿按伊壁鸠鲁的信条“吃、喝和欢乐”去生活(译注：伊壁鸠鲁是古希腊哲学家，他认为生活的主题目的是享乐，而最高的享受唯通过合理的生活，如自我控制才能得到。因为生活享受的目的被过分强调，而达此目的之手段被忽视，所以伊壁鸠鲁的信徒现今变为追求享乐的人。他们的信条是：“让我们吃喝，因为明天我们就死亡”)，但绝大多数人还是被即将面临死亡的必然性所折磨。
在故事里，注定要死的主人公往往在最后一刻由某种命运的突变而得救，但几乎总是他的价值观被改变了。他对生活的意义和它永恒的精神价值变得更具欣赏力了。常常看到那些生活或已生活在死亡的阴影之中的人们都赋予他们所做的每件事以芳醇甜美。
但是，我们大多数人把生活认为是理所当然的。我们知道，某一天我们一定会死，但通常我们把那天想象在遥远的将来。当我们心宽体健时，死亡几乎是不可想象的，我们很少想到它。

从黑暗走向光明会让人对这个世界充满好奇与欣喜，从光明走向黑暗会让人瞬间对世界
充满绝望与不安。海伦一直鼓励自己：“我要把别人眼睛看见的光明当作我的太阳，把别人的耳朵听见的音乐当作我的交响乐，别人嘴角的微笑当作我的幸福。”对于海伦来说能够看到世界的影像与听到世界的声音是一个遥不可及而又充满期待的梦想。如果我们经历过黑暗，一定不会再这样使用我们的双眼，如海伦所说：“你看到的所有一切都会变得异常亲切，只要是你视觉X围之内的东西，你都会用你的目光去拥抱它，最后，你将看到，一个美丽的新世界展现在你眼前。”

Oliver fought his first battle without much assistance from the two people present at his birth.One was an old woman，who was nearly always drunk，and the other was a busy local doctor，who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver's survival.After all，death was a common event in the workhouse，where only the poor and homeless lived. However，Oliver managed to draw his first breath，and then announced his arrival to the rest of the workhouse by crying loudly.His mother raised her pale young face from the pillow and whispered，“Let me see the child，and die.” The doctor turned away from the fire，where he had been warming his hands.“You must not talk about dying yet，” he said to her kindly.He gave her the child to hold.Lovingly，she kissed the baby on its forehead with her cold white lips，then stared wildly around the room，fell back—and died.“Poor dear！” said the nurse，hurriedly putting a green glass bottle back in the pocket of her long skirt. The doctor began to put on his coat.“The baby is weak and will probably have difficulties，” he said.“If so，give it a little milk to keep it quiet.” Then he looked at the dead woman.“The mother was a goodlooking girl.Where did she come from？” “She was brought here last night，” replied the old woman.“She was found lying in the street.She'd walked some distance，judging by her shoes，which were worn to pieces.Where she came from，where she was going to，or what her name was，nobody knows.” The doctor lifted the girl's left hand.“The old story，” he said sadly，shaking his head.“No wedding ring，I see.Ah! Good night.” And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse.Without clothes，under his first blanket，he could have been the child of a king or a beggar.But when the woman

When I was a child，I was always at Wuthering Heights， because my mother was a servant of the Earnshaw family.They are a very old family who have lived in that house for centuries，as you can see from their names on the stone over the front door.I grew up with Catherine and Hindley Earnshaw，and we three played together as children. One day，their father Mr. Earnshaw came back from a long journey.He had travelled sixty miles to Liverpool and back on business，and was very tired. “Look what I've brought you！” he told us all，unwrapping something he was holding carefully in his arms.Catherine and Hindley were expecting presents，and they rushed eagerly to see what it was.They were very disappointed to see only a dirty，black -haired gipsy child. “I found him all alone in the busy streets of Liverpool，”Mr. Earnshaw explained to them，“and I couldn't leave him to die.He can sleep in your room.” But Hindley and Catherine were angry because they had not received any presents，and refused to let the strange child share their room.However Mr. Earnshaw insisted，and little by little the boy became accepted by the family.He was called Heathcliff，as a first and last name.No one ever discovered who his parents had been. Catherine and he became great friends，but Hindley hated him，and was often cruel to him.Old Mr. Earnshaw was strangely fond of this gipsy child，and frequently punished his son for behaving badly to Heathcliff.Hindley began to be jealous of his father's feelings for Heathcliff，and saw them both as enemies. 艾伦·迪恩讲述的故事——凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫的童年 1770年，我小时候一直在呼啸山庄，因为我母亲在欧肖家做佣人。欧肖家是一个很古老的家族，在那幢宅子住了好几百年，你能从门前石头上刻着的名字看出来。我是同凯瑟琳和

Unit 5 On the road 【导读】本文是一篇哲理故事，讲述了本来满足又快乐的农夫为了寻找钻石之路，卖掉农场，结果没有收获，绝望之下，跳河自杀了。而他原来的农场里却被后来者发现蕴藏着大量的钻石。 Acres of Diamonds There was a farmer in Africa who was happy and content.He was happy because he was content.He was content because he was happy. One day a wise man came to him and told him about the glory of diamonds and the power that goes along them. The wise man says，“If you had a diamond the size of your thumb，you could have your own city.If you had a diamond the size of your fist you could probably own your own country.” And then he went away. That night the farmer couldn't sleep.He was unhappy and he was discontent.He was unhappy because he was discontent，and he was discontent because he was unhappy. The next morning he made arrangements to sell off his farm，took care of his family and went in search of diamonds.He looked all over Africa and couldn't find any.He looked all through Europe and couldn't find any.When he got to Spain，he was emotionally，physically and financially broke.He got so disheartened that he threw himself into the Barcelona River and committed suicide. Back home，the person who had bought his farm was watering the camels at a stream that ran through the farm.Across the stream，the rays of the morning sun hit a stone and made it sparkle like a rainbow. He thought it would look good on the mantelpiece.He picked up the stone and put it in the living room.That afternoon the wise man came and saw the stone sparkling.He asked，“Is Hafiz back？” The new owner said，“No，why do you ask？” The wise man said，“Because that is a diamond.I recognize one when I see one.” The man said，“No，that's just a stone I picked up from the https://www.doczj.com/doc/0919503162.html,e，I'll show you.There are many more.”They went and picked some samples and sent them for analysis.Sure enough，the stones were diamonds.They found that the farm was indeed covered with acres and acres of diamonds. 铺满钻石的土地

Unit 1 The written word 【导读】爱情未必总是幸福的历程，相爱的人也未必总是彼此善待。我们都熟知很多恋人因外来压力不能相聚的故事。在《呼啸山庄》中，使恋人隔开的主要原因来自他们自身。让我们读下面的节选来了解他们的感情纠葛吧。 【节选】 1 Mr.Lockwood visits Wuthering Heights 1801 I have just returned from a visit to my landlord，Mr.Heathcliff.I am delighted with the house I am renting from him.Thrushcross Grange is miles away from any town or village.That suits me perfectly. And the scenery here in Yorkshire is so beautiful! Mr.Heathcliff，in fact，is my only neighbour，and I think his character is similar to mine.He does not like people either. ‘My name is Lockwood，’I said，when I met him at the gate to his house.‘I'm renting Thrushcross Grange from you.I just wanted to come and introduce myself.’He said nothing，but frowned，and did not encourage me to enter.After a while，however，he decided to invite me in. ‘Joseph，take Mr.Lockwood's horse！’he called.‘And bring up some wine from the cellar！’Joseph was a very old servant，with a sour expression on his face.He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse. ‘God help us！A visitor！’he muttered to himself.Perhaps there were no other servants，I thought.And it seemed that Mr.Heathcliff hardly ever received guests. His house is called Wuthering Height s. The name means‘a windswept house on a hill’，and it is a very good description.The trees around the house do not grow straight，but are bent by the north wind，which blows over the moors every day of the year.Fortunately，the house is strongly built，and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms.The name‘Earushaw’is cut into a stone over the front door. Mr.Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room.It could have been any Yorkshire farmhouse kitchen，except that there was no sign of cooking，and no farmer sitting at the table.Mr.Heathcliff certainly does not look like a farmer.His hair and skin are dark，like a Gipsy's，but he has the manners of a gentleman.He could perhaps take more care with his appearance，but he is handsome.I think he is proud，and also unhappy. We sat down by the fire，in silence.
Module 5 Newspapers and Magazines 【导读】《狮子、女巫与魔衣橱》(The Lion，the Witch and the Wardrobe)是英国作家C·S·路易斯所著的《纳尼亚传奇》系列奇幻儿童文学小说第二部。该书叙述四个在第二次世界大战中逃难的英国学生意外地发现了一个神秘而充满魔力的衣柜。这个衣柜竟是通往另一个神奇世界“纳尼亚”的通道。 The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (excerpt) Once there were four children whose names were Peter，Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away from London during the war because of the airraids. They were sent to the house of an old Professor who lived in the heart of the country，ten miles from the nearest railway station and two miles from the nearest post office. He had no wife and he lived in a very large house with a housekeeper called Mrs Macready and three servants. He himself was a very old man with shaggy white hair which grew over most of his face as well as on his head, and they liked him almost at once; but on the first evening when he came out to meet them at the front door he was so oddlooking that Lucy (who was the youngest) was a little afraid of him, and Edmund (who was the next youngest) wanted to laugh and had to keep on pretending he was blowing his nose to hide it. But when next morning came there was a steady rain falling, so thick that when you looked out of the window you could see neither the mountains nor the woods nor even the stream in the garden. “Of course it would be raining！” said Edmund. They had just finished their breakfast with the Professor and were upstairs in the room he had set apart for them—a long, low room with two windows looking out in one direction and two in another. 《狮子、女巫与魔衣橱》(节选) 从前，有这么四个孩子，他们的名字分别叫彼得、苏珊、爱德蒙和露茜。下面讲的故事就是他们亲身经历过的事情。那是在战争时期，为了躲避空袭，他们被送离伦敦，来到一位老教授的家里。这位老教授的家在英国的中部，离最近的火车站有十英里远，离最近的邮局也有两英里。他没有老伴，和女管家玛卡蕾蒂太太以及另外三个仆人一起住着一所很大很大的房子。教授已经老态龙钟，一头蓬乱的白发。孩子们一来就喜欢上了他。但在第一天傍晚，当他从大门口出来迎接他们的时候，他的这副怪模样使年龄最小的露茜感到有点害怕，而爱德蒙呢(除了露茜他年龄最小)，却忍不住要笑，他只好一次又一次地装作擦鼻涕，这才没有笑出声来。
