1、A public house which was recently bought by Mr. James is up for sale. He is going to sell it because it is haunted (闹鬼的). He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr. James had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost (鬼) must have drunk the night before. When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free drink, he shook his head. The villagers have told him that they will not accept it even if he gives it away.

2、Do you know something about tree rings（年轮）? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago? A tree will grow well in a climate with lots of sunshine and rainfall（雨量）. And little sunshine or rainfall will limit（限制）the growth of a tree. We can see the change of climate by studying the tree rings. For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we're sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year. If it is near to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad. Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the history of man. Many centuries ago there live a lot of people at a place in New Mexico. But now you can find only sand there － no trees and no people. What happened? A scientist studied the rings of dead trees there. He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings. As all the trees had gone, the people there had to move.

3、The dark smoke that comes out of stacks (大烟囱) or from a burning dump (垃圾) contains tiny bits of solid or liquid matter. The smoke also contains many gases, most of which cannot be seen. Altogether, they make up the serious problems of air pollution. In so many places it keeps us from seeing the sun, irritate (刺痛) our eyes, causes us to cough and makes us ill. Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had "black snow" from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is a global problem. It can kill babies, older people and those who have respiratory (呼吸) disease. In 1952, four thousands people die in one week as a result of a serious air pollution breakout in London. In 1948 in a small town of Pennsylvania, 20 people died in a four - day period of air pollution. As often found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of lung disease, such as bronchitis and asthma. Of course, smoking and other factors help to cause these illnesses, too, but these causes have increased greatly during recent years as air pollution has become worse.

4、Many people like watching TV. Watching TV is one of the most important activities of the day. TV brings the outside closer to people's home. Some people say the world is smaller than before because of TV. What's going on in the other countries? How do people live in places far away? Is there a good sports game somewhere? What's life in the deepest part of the sea? If you want to answer these and other kinds of questions, just turn on the TV. Turn it on and watch .You can see a lot and learn a lot. Of course, people can also learn through reading or listening to the radio. But with TV they can learn better and more easily. Why? Because they can hear and watch, too. TV helps to open our eyes. TV also helps to open our minds (思想) . TV often gives us new ideas. We learn newer and better ways of doing something.

5、Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes，the languages do not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small，limited vocabulary. Over the century，the grammar changed，and the vocabulary grew. For example，the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way，hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast，and language is changing fast too. There are several major (主要的) language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families，but other scientists divided them differently. The languages in each family are connected，and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3% of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.

6、The Great Wall of China is the longest wall in the world. It is more than 6000 kilometres long, about 7 metres high, 5 to 6 metres wide. It is known to be the only one of the structures（建筑物） built by men on Earth that can be seen from the moon. The Potala（布达拉宫） in Tibet, China, is the world's highest palace. It is over 3 kilometres above the sea level. The Great Pyramid（金字塔） in Egypt is the biggest burial（埋葬） place ever built. It is about 137 metres high, or about the height of 40－storey building. Each side of the Pyramid is about 230 metres long, or about as long as 2 city blocks. The Sears Tower in Chicago, U.S.A., reaches a height of 443 metres. It has 110 storeys and covers a total floor space of 420,000 square metres. It is the tallest office building in the world.

7、Careful and careless are different as fire and water. But it is strange that quite a few scientists have both these qualities. They are both careful and careless. Newton（牛顿）, the famous English scientist, was such a person. Once Newton invited a friend to dinner at home. When they were ready to eat, Newton left to get a bottle of wine. But after his friend had waited for a long time, Newton still didn't come back. At last his friend found Newton in his lab. When Newton was going to get the bottle of wine, he suddenly had a new idea for his experiment. So he quite forgot his friend and the dinner. Another time, Newton was leading a horse up a mountain, and held the rein（缰绳）in his hand. While he was walking, he kept thinking about problems. When he got to the top of the mountain, he found that the rein was not in his hand and that the horse was gone. Einstein（爱因斯坦）was another example. Once he was waiting for a friend at a bridge. While waiting, he became lost in thought. It started to rain. The rain kept on for some time. When he took out a piece of paper to write something down, the paper was wet and then he knew that it was raining. But after he put the paper into his pocket, he forgot he was standing in the rain again.

8、Long ago, there was a rich man. He had a very big house with a lot of treasures. He had many servants to look after it for a few days. One day, two silver saucers were stolen from the cupboard. After a few days, another two saucers were stolen again. The rich man was very angry. He thought, "Someone must have stolen them. I must catch the thief, or another two saucers would be stolen in a few days." Then he had an idea. He called in all his servants and said, "Some of my silver saucers have disappeared. Someone among you must have taken them. Who has taken them?" The servants looked at one another and kept quiet. The rich man said," I shall catch the thief myself. I am giving each of you a stick. Look, all the sticks are of the same length. Keep the sticks. Bring them back tomorrow. The thief's stick will grow two centimeters longer." That evening, Salleh, one of the servants, went home sadly. His wife asked him, "Why are you so sad this evening?" "This stick will grow two centimeters longer tomorrow because I have taken the silver saucers," he said. "Oh, don't worry. Cut off two centimeters from the stick," his wife said. "In other words, your stick will be of the same length as any of the other sticks." When Salleh heard this, he was very happy. At once, he cut off two centimeters from the stick with a knife. The next day, each of the servants brought back his stick. The rich man then measured each of the sticks. He found Salleh's stick shorter by two centimeters, Salleh was the thief. He was caught and put into prison. The rich man got back the stolen saucers.

9、In the eighteenth century young ladies in Italy knew history and geography little. Once the French officer in Rome was giving a ball to which many important people were invited. The Italian Minister（大臣） came very late. A young lady, who knew him, saw him enter the ball-room and asked why he was so late. "Oh, nothing important," answered the Minister. " Our head forgot to take his letters with him and went back to his hotel to bring them. If he had left them in Brazil we should have had to wait at least six months for them." "Is Brazil so far from Rome?" asked the lady, who knew very little geography. "It is in the New World," said the Minister. "In the New World?" repeated the lady in great surprise. "Yes, in the New World, which was discovered by Christopher Columbus." When the young lady heard this, she rushed into the middle of the ball-room and shouted as loud as she could: "Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the latest news? A new world has just been discovered by a certain Christopher Columbus."

10、There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.
