Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. The did not have the kind of machinery(机械) that builders and engineers have today.“I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful,” the second man said, “but I do not think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds, they carry out mathematical calculations(计算) that would take a person a hundred years to do.Then the second man turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world?The third man thought for a long time, and then he said. “Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.” And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up. The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos?”they exclaimed(惊叫). “But thats a simple thing.” “Oh, no, its not,” the third man said. “In the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot.

He was going to stay with me. I was still at the office at the time, but I had prepared for his coming. After explaining where my new house was, I told him where I had left the key. As I was likely to be home rather late, I asked him to go into the kitchen and help himself to food and drink. Two hours later my friend telephoned me from the flat. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having just had a truly wonderful meal. He had cooked two eggs and had helped himself to some cold chicken from the refrigerator.Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice and he hoped I would join him. When I asked him if he had reached the flat without difficulty he answered that he had not been able to find the key, but luckily the living-room window just by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in.

I was asked to attend because I am on a TV show. I went there because I care.At the party, they had all kinds of small rooms. I got into a special one. In this room, anyone could paint a square. They gave everyone paints in bright, beautiful colours and asked the kids to paint something beautiful. As I looked around at all the squares, I saw the pictures were all bright, except one. The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was dark, empty, and lifeless. It lacked the bright colours that other children used. At first I thought maybe he took the only paint that was left and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his heart was that colour because his own heart felt dark. I asked him why and he told me that he was very sick and his mother was very sick, too. He said that his sickness was not ever going to get better and neither was his mothers. He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is nothing anyone can do to help.” I told him I was sorry that he was sick and I could certainly understand why he was so sad. I could even understand why he had made his heart a dark colour. But I told him that it isn t true that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not make him or his mother better but we can do things like giving him or her hugs. Then I hugged him for a long time. I thought my own heart would burst with the love I felt for this sweet little boy. After that, I asked him if he felt any better. He said he did, but he was still sick and nothing would change that. I walked away feeling sad. As I was getting ready to head home, I felt a tug on my jacket. I turned around and the little boy was standing there with a smile on his face. He told me, “My heart is changing colours. It is getting brighter. I think those hugs really work.” On my way home, I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter colour.41. “Tuesdays Child” was _.A. the name of a TV show B. the name of an organizationC. a child with the AIDS virus D. the name of a party42.

One-third to one-haft of the earths population is under-nourished( 营养不良的)even though more than the necessary food for everyone on earth is available(可获得的). Many nutrition experts ( 营养学家专家) say that one of the reasons people starve is that they are willing to eat only the Kind of foods they are used to. For example, enough rice to feed 1 000 Chinese would be left to spoil among Eskimos, who don t eat rice. A store house full of bacon that would be food in many places around the world would mean nothing to millions of East Indians, who won t eat pork(猪肉)for religious reasons. Another group of East Indians, called Hindus, won t eat beef because their religion forbids it. Instead of being butchered, cows are allowed to roam(闲逛)freely in the streets in Indian cities. Thousands of scientists in all parts of the world are working to change soybeans(黄豆) and fish meal into food that people of different nationalities will eat. Both soybeans and fish meal are high in protein(蛋白质)and are available in large quantities. These scientists feel that human eating habits are often at the bottom of the world-wide food problem.46.

Rubbish must be thrown away or reused properly. Or it may cause a lot of problems. It may pollute the air and water. People may get ill when they breathe the polluted air or drink the polluted water.Our city has started to face the problem. Some rubbish is sorted and sent to different factories. Rubbish, like old newspapers or glass, is recycled. Some harmful rubbish is sent to a certain place and buried. Waste gas is cleaned before it goes into the air. Waste water is also cleaned before it is poured into rivers.People should be prevented from throwing rubbish everywhere. We should try our best to take good care of our environment and fight against pollution.
