2. Different Countries Have Different Kinds of Englishes
不同的国家有不同的英语
Voyages of people from England play an important part in spreading the English language. , English is or common language in many countries, America, and some countries. All in these countries can be well understood by English speakers. But , these Englishes have been changing in s, s and the
the differences to tell which country the foreigners of your his driver, ―and take some for my trucks and to my by and take some for my and taxis‖, you can his Americans that he is British.
英国人的航海在英语的传播中扮演了重要的角色。目前，英语在许多国家被作为官方语言或通用语言频繁地使用，例如美国、新加波、马来西亚和一些非洲的国家。这些国家的英语都以英式英语为基础，能很好地为以英语为本族语的人所理解。但是实际上，这些英语在口音、拼写、表达和词汇的使用方面都在逐渐变化。
因为这一情况的存在，你就可以利用这些英语之间的区别说出你们街区的外国人是哪个国家来的了。例如，如果有个老板流利地命令他的司机：“直接搭电梯到我公寓上来拿卡车和出租车的汽油”，而不是要求说，“请直接搭电梯到我公寓上来拿卡车和出租车的汽油”，你就可以轻易地辨认出他的美国人身份，而后者却暗示着那是一位英国人。
3.A Hard Trip 一次辛苦的旅行

One night, I put my head on mycoats, and lay the stars. When the in front of our went out , I found the sky so beautiful!
我的妹妹很喜欢旅行。自从毕业以来，她就下定决心要组织一次往一
座古庙的旅行。因为交通费用昂贵，她决定骑自行车去，毫不担心其中的不利情况。顽固的态度一直都是她的缺点，一旦她下定决心要做的事，就没有人能说服她改变主意。最后，我们像往常一样让步，尽管我们更喜欢乘火车去。我们准备好了所有东西，包括时间表、可靠的天气预报，还有保险，就开始了旅程。
我们的旅程沿着一条从高海拔处流下来的河流前行。但我们的步伐很慢，因为当流经深深的峡谷时，这条河流急转弯很多，急湍的河水都似乎沸腾起来。正如我在旅行日志里记录的那样，这真是一次艰苦的旅行。但是我们也欣赏到了美丽的景色。一天晚上，我把头枕在一包羊毛衣服做的枕头上，躺在星空下，当岩洞前的火焰在午夜熄灭时，我发现夜空是如此的美丽！
4.A Horrible Earthquake
可怕的地震
s before the d that an earthquake was coming. Suddenly, everything shook. It seemed the world was .houses and were Railway became s in . Huge s ped s everywhere.

So they not only their sympathy but also organized together to help the victims d were . The ed survivors were s and were offered water and. Thanks to people’s help, the loss was minimized.
地震前，水井和运河里的污水都涨涌起来。但是却没人判断出地震即将来临。霎那间，一切都在摇晃，似乎整个世界就要结束。数以百万的砖房和许多水坝遭到破坏；铁路轨道都变成无用的铁条；煤矿管道纷纷爆裂，发出有臭味的蒸汽；到处都有骑车的人被巨大的裂缝陷住。
第二天，所有报纸都纷纷以大字标题或主要标题报道了这一事件。记者们描述了灾难的大概情况，全国都被地震的破坏和灾民们极度的苦难所震惊。当人们读到幸存者以“恭喜啊，你还活着。”来互相安慰时，都被感动了。人们不仅衷心地表达了他们的同情，而且还立刻组织起来帮助灾民。伤员被救助了，死者被埋葬了，吓坏的幸存者被从废墟中挖出来了，栖身处、净水和电力也很快得到提供。多亏了人们的帮助，灾区的损失被减到了最小。
5.The Great President
伟大的总统
As the had many good Before , he was a . Hehim. He accepted no to offer s to those who were believing alld himself to stopping the the Black and was d to be the leader. However, though he kept without and , hisenemies stillhis house and and he himself couldn’t Not fearing of the prison guards’ and ged no mercy from them. , he was always during the .
Finally, people him with the leader’s position and a gold
作为共和国的创始人，这位总统具备许多的优秀品质。还在掌权之前，他就是一位慷慨的律师。他愿意无私地帮助那些向他求助的人。他免费为失业的，或没有受过教育的人提供法律指导和意见。后来，因为相信所有人类都是生来平等，他全身心投入到废除不平等的反黑人法律工作中。他建立了黑人青年团并被选为领袖。然而，尽管他坚持没有暴力、没有恐怖的和平原则，卑鄙的敌人还是炸毁了他的家、袭击了他的亲属，他自己也无法逃脱被判30年徒刑的遭遇。
在狱中，他毫不畏惧狱警的残酷，始终保持积极的态度，不向他们乞求怜悯。实际上，他在任何一个困境时期都充满着希望，从未灰心。
最后，人们以领袖的职位和一块金毯子回报了他的贡献。
6. A Brave Maid
勇敢的女仆
A hall d everyone. The s it in a and s to its and the beautiful
The vase used to a , the enemy s the castle. s on how the vase d went on and on. In order to people’s 20 people carried out an investigation. The they found showed that a to it in a well. She never gave away the secret even under the cruel of the enemies who were It is giving this brave maid a fortune .
接待大厅入口处的明朝木制花瓶 使每个人都惊奇不已。艺术家以一种罕有的风格设计它，并挑选了贵重的珠宝装饰它。人们高度赞赏它那蜂蜜般的奇特颜色，还有上面绘制的绘画。
这个花瓶曾经属于一座从前的城堡，但在战争期间，敌人的军队炸毁了城堡，于是关于这个花瓶是如何幸存下来的争论就一直在持续着。为了解开人们的疑问，一个由不少于20人的调查队开展了一次非正式的调查。他们找到的证据表明，有个女仆 把花瓶拆开，然后让一名水手把它沉到当地的一个水井里。她从来没有泄露这个秘密，即使是在搜寻财宝的敌人残酷的审讯下。
这位女仆真是值得给予一大笔钱作为对她的回报。
7.A Fair Competition
公平的比赛
Swifter, Higher and Stronger stands for the spirit of the Olympics. But fairness is the . Only when you win fairly will you and your . But , unlike the honest s, some s who can’t bear the of training cheat when games. seem to have power causing them to cheat, and the prize money has the motto as their only goal.So, in the event to be held in our city next month, one of the is to keep competitions fair. They on s outside the to promise that every competitor is to have a examination in a . No one can will be very strict. It is cheat because they will not be and will even be d
“更快！更高！更强！”代表着奥运精神。但是公平却是这一格言的
基础。只有当你公平地赢得比赛，你和你的祖国才会承受这样的光荣。但如今，不像古代那些诚实的奴隶参赛者，有些没有希望的运动员无法承受训练的痛苦，于是在参加比赛时作假。奖牌似乎有某种魔力使他们作假，奖金也已经代替了奥运格言成为了他们唯一的目标。
因此，在我们市下个月即将举行的一场体操赛事中，主办方的其中一项责任就是要确保比赛的公平。他们在体育场外的海报上做广告，承诺说每个参赛者都将在体育馆一个一个地参加常规的身体检查。对此没有人可以讨价还价。负责此事的志愿者将非常严格。作假是很愚蠢的，因为他们将不被允许去竞赛，甚至还将被罚款。
8.Computers
电脑
The goal of early calculating machines was to simplify difficult sums. But new , of has , the of computers changed our lives. They can not only information from the when connected by the or phone different s of problems. With s as their they can even control to the moon and instructs with the s to floors and your . , computers are they do bringHowever, computers are easily attacked by This has become a hard-to--problem. , computers are dangerous So, I worry about their s in some fields, such as.
早期计算机器的目的是简化比较难的计算。但是在新技术的帮助下，电子芯片代替了电子管，一场人工智能革命由此掀起。从那时起，电脑的出现完全改变了我们的生活，它们不仅能在网络或移动电话信号的连接下从网上下载信息，而且可以解决各种类型的逻辑问题。在操作员的教练下，它们甚至还可以控制火箭探索月球，指导具有人类性格的机器人擦洗地板和照顾你调皮的侄女。不管怎么说，电脑都是如此的有用，以致的确给人们带来了快乐。
然而，电脑很容易受到病毒的攻击，这一现实已经成为一个难以处理的难题，结果，电脑在某种程度上是很危险的。因此，就个人而言，我很担心电脑在某些领域，例如金融方面的广泛应用。
9.保护野生动植物
Wildlife Protection
because of an . But today disappears or is just because humans do to it. For example, tigers are to make they can only live in so that storms beingcities. Last year, scientists saw some monkeys bing themselves with a kind of s to . the result of the , they found that the insect drug, so local farmers were ed to catch the insects. The was a to humans, the farmers and real loss is ourWe should of wildlife Not until we letting wildlife live , can we smile
恐龙因一次意外事件而灭绝，但是今天的野生动植物却是因为人类的
伤害而消失或处在危险中。例如，老虎被猎杀以获取做地毯的皮毛，以致它们只能生活在安全的保护区里；草地被毫不怜悯地破坏，以致沙尘暴开始影响遥远的城市。
去年，科学家观察到猴子在身上擦某种昆虫来保护自己不受凶猛的蚊子的叮咬。根据检查的结果，他们发现这种昆虫含有一种具有强大效力的药物，于是，当地的农民都被雇来抓虫子。结果是，这种昆虫从这整个地区都消失了。当被告知说这是整个人类的损失时，农民们都突然大笑着回应道：“我们减少的收入才是我们真正的损失呢！”
我们应该意识到自然平衡的重要，更加注意野生动植物的保护。直到我们成功让野生动植物安详平静地生活，我们自己才能如释重负地笑开颜。
10.My First Band 我的第一支乐队
I was very sensitive to music. Just dipping into the music books briefly, I could sing or play well. , I always becoming a famous that I never decreased my . I ed my first band called ― ing on in or to to money to s whom people. , we ed acts to our and each other. Soon, our ―funny ‖ became famous and to perform for stations began to come. we a record in a s. It was finally. But my dream to be a musician.
我对音乐很敏感，只要简要地浏览一下乐谱，我就能演唱或演奏得很好。说实话，我一直都梦想着能成为出名的民间演员，自信的我从未减少过热爱。
我组成的第一支乐队叫做“摇滚蛙”。开始，我们依靠在酒吧里或向路人表演乐器来挣些零花的现金。然后我们带上假胡子假扮人们熟悉的音乐家，除此之外，我们在表演中加上幽默的动作，互相开着玩笑。很快，我们的“滑稽爵士乐”出了名，到广播电台表演的邀请开始多起来。随后，我们把我们吸引人的音乐做了分类，在一间音乐工作室录制了1张唱片，大约卖出了100万张，这使我们都成了百万富翁。
乐队最终的解散让我很心痛，但最重要的是，我实现了自己当音乐家的梦想。

因为这一情况的存在，你就可以利用这些英语之间的区别说出你们街 区的外国人是哪个国家来的了。例如，如果有个老板流利地命令他的司机：“Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs（直接搭电梯到我公寓上来拿卡车和出租车的汽油）”， 而不是要求说，“Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis（请直接搭电梯到我公寓上来拿卡车和出租车的汽油）”， 你就可以轻易地辨认出他的美国人身份，而后者却暗示着那是一位英国 人。（请注意：听力录音里第二段两个“电梯”的单词跟原文不一致，原 文是对的，录音弄错了，elevator才是美式说法而 lift是英式说法。)

作为共和国的创始人，这位总统具备许多的优秀品质。还在掌权之前，他就是一位慷慨的律师。他愿意无私地帮助那些向他求助的人。他免费为失业的，或没有受过教育的人提供法律指导和意见。后来，因为相信所有人类都是生来平等，他全身心投入到废除不平等的反黑人法律工作中。他建立了黑人青年团并被选为领袖。然而，尽管他坚持没有暴力、没有恐怖的和平原则，卑鄙的敌人还是炸毁了他的家、袭击了他的亲属，他自己也无法逃脱被判30年徒刑的遭遇。
在狱中，他毫不畏惧狱警的残酷，始终保持积极的态度，不向他们乞求怜悯。实际上，他在任何一个困境时期都充满着希望，从未灰心。
最后，人们以领袖的职位和一块金毯子回报了他的贡献。
6. A Brave Maid
勇敢的女仆
A from the Ming at the hall s it in a ed s to it. People its colour of and the beautiful s on it.
The vase used to a , the enemy s s on how the vase d went on and on. In order to people’s , a team of no 20 people carried out an investigation. The they found showed that a asked a to it in a well.

这个花瓶曾经属于一座从前的城堡，但在战争期间，敌人的军队炸毁了城堡，于是关于这个花瓶是如何幸存下来的争论就一直在持续着。为了解开人们的疑问，一个由不少于20人的调查队开展了一次非正式的调查。他们找到的证据表明，有个女仆 把花瓶拆开，然后让一名水手把它沉到当地的一个水井里。她从来没有泄露这个秘密，即使是在搜寻财宝的敌人残酷的审讯下。
这位女仆真是值得给予一大笔钱作为对她的回报。
7. A Fair Competition
公平的比赛
Swifter, Higher and Stronger stands for the spirit of the Olympics. But fairness is the basis of this motto. Only when you win fairly will you and your , unlike the honest s, some who can’t bear the of training cheat when games. s seem to have power causing them to cheat, and the prize money has goal.
So, in the event to be held in our city next month, one of the ’s is to keep competitions fair. They d on outside the to promise that every competitor is to have a s3
will be very strict. It is to cheat because they will not be ted to and will even be d .
“更快！更高！更强！”代表着奥运精神。但是公平却是这一格言的基础。只有当你公平地赢得比赛，你和你的祖国才会承受这样的光荣。但如今，不像古代那些诚实的奴隶参赛者，有些没有希望的运动员无法承受训练的痛苦，于是在参加比赛时作假。奖牌似乎有某种魔力使他们作假，奖金也已经代替了奥运格言成为了他们唯一的目标。
因此，在我们市下个月即将举行的一场体操赛事中，主办方的其中一项责任就是要确保比赛的公平。他们在体育场外的海报上做广告，承诺说每个参赛者都将在体育馆一个一个地参加常规的身体检查。对此没有人可以讨价还价。负责此事的志愿者将非常严格。作假是很愚蠢的，因为他们将不被允许去竞赛，甚至还将被罚款。
8. Computers
电脑
The goal of early calculating machines was to simplify difficult sums. But with the help of new technology, s replaced of has n., the of computers changed our lives. They can not only when connected by the phone s of problems. With s as their they can even control s to the moon and instructs with the floors and your , computers are .
However, computers are easily attacked by -problem. s in some fields, such as.
早期计算机器的目的是简化比较难的计算。但是在新技术的帮助下，电子芯片代替了电子管，一场人工智能革命由此掀起。从那时起，电脑的出现完全改变了我们的生活，它们不仅能在网络或移动电话信号的连接下从网上下载信息，而且可以解决各种类型的逻辑问题。在操作员的教练下，它们甚至还可以控制火箭探索月球，指导具有人类性格的机器人擦洗地板和照顾你调皮的侄女。不管怎么说，电脑都是如此的有用，以致的确给人们带来了快乐。
然而，电脑很容易受到病毒的攻击，这一现实已经成为一个难以处理的难题，结果，电脑在某种程度上是很危险的。因此，就个人而言，我很担心电脑在某些领域，例如金融方面的广泛应用。
9.保护野生动植物

恐龙因一次意外事件而灭绝，但是今天的野生动植物却是因为人类的伤害而消失或处在危险中。例如，老虎被猎杀以获取做地毯的皮毛，以致它们只能生活在安全的保护区里；草地被毫不怜悯地破坏，以致沙尘暴开始影响遥远的城市。
去年，科学家观察到猴子在身上擦某种昆虫来保护自己不受凶猛的蚊子的叮咬。根据检查的结果，他们发现这种昆虫含有一种具有强大效力的药物，于是，当地的农民都被雇来抓虫子。结果是，这种昆虫从这整个地区都消失了。当被告知说这是整个人类的损失时，农民们都突然大笑着回应道：“我们减少的收入才是我们真正的损失呢！”
我们应该意识到自然平衡的重要，更加注意野生动植物的保护。直到我们成功让野生动植物安详平静地生活，我们自己才能如释重负地笑开颜。
10. My First Band
我的第一支乐队
I was very sensitive to music. Just dipping into the music books briefly, I could sing or play well. To be honest, I always . I was so that I never decreased my .

我对音乐很敏感，只要简要地浏览一下乐谱，我就能演唱或演奏得很好。说实话，我一直都梦想着能成为出名的民间演员，自信的我从未减少过热爱。
我组成的第一支乐队叫做“摇滚蛙”。开始，我们依靠在酒吧里或向路人表演乐器来挣些零花的现金。然后我们带上假胡子假扮人们熟悉的音乐家，除此之外，我们在表演中加上幽默的动作，互相开着玩笑。很快，我们的“滑稽爵士乐”出了名，到广播电台表演的邀请开始多起来。随后，我们把我们吸引人的音乐做了分类，在一间音乐工作室录制了1张唱片，大约卖出了100万张，这使我们都成了百万富翁。
乐队最终的解散让我很心痛，但最重要的是，我实现了自己当音乐家的梦想。
11.An Interesting Festival

农业盛会在独立日后举行。它不是一个世界性的庆典，由于它的宗教起源，只有墨西哥的基督徒才盼着节日的到来：
