有個(gè)少年躲在積滿灰塵的松散窗簾后把大衣裝入手提箱。盡管外面正打雷閃電，

他仍計(jì)劃在黃昏時(shí)分離家出走。他不得不這樣做是因?yàn)閰捑肓烁改笇?duì)他英語學(xué)習(xí)的嘮叨，不想再忍受下去了。他的英語學(xué)習(xí)總是無法取得進(jìn)展，而且不喜歡參加英語課的學(xué)習(xí)，因?yàn)樗詾槔蠋熡幸夂鲆曀＝Y(jié)果，他每次考試的分?jǐn)?shù)合計(jì)從未超過60。

我的妹妹很喜歡旅行。自從畢業(yè)以來，她就下定決心要組織一次往一座古廟的旅行。因?yàn)榻煌ㄙM(fèi)用昂貴，她決定騎自行車去，毫不擔(dān)心其中的不利情況。頑固的態(tài)度一直都是她的缺點(diǎn)，一旦她下定決心要做的事，就沒有人能說服她改變主意。最后，我們像往常一樣讓步，盡管我們更喜歡乘火車去。我們準(zhǔn)備好了所有東西，包括時(shí)間表、可靠的天氣預(yù)報(bào)，還有保險(xiǎn)，就開始了旅程。我們的旅程沿著一條從高海拔處流下來的河流前行。但我們的步伐很慢，因?yàn)楫?dāng)流經(jīng)深深的峽谷時(shí)，這條河流急轉(zhuǎn)彎很多，急湍的河水都似乎沸騰起來。正如我在旅行日志里記錄的那樣，這真是一次艱苦的旅行。但是我們也欣賞到了美麗的景色。一天晚上，我把頭枕在一包羊毛衣服做的枕頭上，躺在星空下，當(dāng)巖洞前的火焰在午夜熄滅時(shí)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)夜空是如此的美麗！4.AHorribleEarthquake可怕的地震Dirty

地震前，水井和運(yùn)河里的污水都漲涌起來。但是卻沒人判斷出地震即將來臨。霎那間，一切都在搖晃，似乎整個(gè)世界就要結(jié)束。數(shù)以百萬的磚房和許多水壩遭到破壞；鐵路軌道都變成無用的鐵條；煤礦管道紛紛爆裂，發(fā)出有臭味的蒸汽；到處都有騎車的人被巨大的裂縫陷住。第二天，所有報(bào)紙都紛紛以大字標(biāo)題或主要標(biāo)題報(bào)道了這一事件。記者們描述了災(zāi)難的大概情況，全國都被地震的破壞和災(zāi)民們極度的苦難所震驚。當(dāng)人們讀到幸存者以“恭喜啊，你還活著?！眮砘ハ喟参繒r(shí)，都被感動(dòng)了。人們不僅衷心地表達(dá)了他們的同情，而且還立刻組織起來幫助災(zāi)民。傷員被救助了，死者被埋葬了，嚇壞的幸存者被從廢墟中挖出來了，棲身處、凈水和電力也很快得到提供。多虧了人們的幫助，災(zāi)區(qū)的損失被減到了最小。

接待大廳入口處的明朝木制花瓶

使每個(gè)人都驚奇不已。藝術(shù)家以一種罕有的風(fēng)格設(shè)計(jì)它，并挑選了貴重的珠寶裝飾它。人們高度贊賞它那蜂蜜般的奇特顏色，還有上面繪制的繪畫。這個(gè)花瓶曾經(jīng)屬于一座從前的城堡，但在戰(zhàn)爭期間，敵人的軍隊(duì)炸毀了城堡，于是關(guān)于這個(gè)花瓶是如何幸存下來的爭論就一直在持續(xù)著。為了解開人們的疑問，一個(gè)由不少于20人的調(diào)查隊(duì)開展了一次非正式的調(diào)查。他們找到的證據(jù)表明，有個(gè)女仆

把花瓶拆開，然后讓一名水手把它沉到當(dāng)?shù)氐囊粋€(gè)水井里。她從來沒有泄露這個(gè)秘密，即使是在搜尋財(cái)寶的敵人殘酷的審訊下。這位女仆真是值得給予一大筆錢作為對(duì)她的回報(bào)。

“更快！更高！更強(qiáng)！”代表著奧運(yùn)精神。但是公平卻是這一格言的基礎(chǔ)。只有當(dāng)你公平地贏得比賽，你和你的祖國才會(huì)承受這樣的光榮。但如今，不像古代那些誠實(shí)的奴隸參賽者，有些沒有希望的運(yùn)動(dòng)員無法承受訓(xùn)練的痛苦，于是在參加比賽時(shí)作假。獎(jiǎng)牌似乎有某種魔力使他們作假，獎(jiǎng)金也已經(jīng)代替了奧運(yùn)格言成為了他們唯一的目標(biāo)。因此，在我們市下個(gè)月即將舉行的一場(chǎng)體操賽事中，主辦方的其中一項(xiàng)責(zé)任就是要確保比賽的公平。他們?cè)隗w育場(chǎng)外的海報(bào)上做廣告，承諾說每個(gè)參賽者都將在體育館一個(gè)一個(gè)地參加常規(guī)的身體檢查。對(duì)此沒有人可以討價(jià)還價(jià)。負(fù)責(zé)此事的志愿者將非常嚴(yán)格。作假是很愚蠢的，因?yàn)樗麄儗⒉槐辉试S去競賽，甚至還將被罰款。8.Computers電腦

早期計(jì)算機(jī)器的目的是簡化比較難的計(jì)算。但是在新技術(shù)的幫助下，電子芯片代替了電子管，一場(chǎng)人工智能革命由此掀起。從那時(shí)起，電腦的出現(xiàn)完全改變了我們的生活，它們不僅能在網(wǎng)絡(luò)或移動(dòng)電話信號(hào)的連接下從網(wǎng)上下載信息，而且可以解決各種類型的邏輯問題。在操作員的教練下，它們甚至還可以控制火箭探索月球，指導(dǎo)具有人類性格的機(jī)器人擦洗地板和照顧你調(diào)皮的侄女。不管怎么說，電腦都是如此的有用，以致的確給人們帶來了快樂。然而，電腦很容易受到病毒的攻擊，這一現(xiàn)實(shí)已經(jīng)成為一個(gè)難以處理的難題，結(jié)果，電腦在某種程度上是很危險(xiǎn)的。因此，就個(gè)人而言，我很擔(dān)心電腦在某些領(lǐng)域，例如金融方面的廣泛應(yīng)用。9.保護(hù)野生動(dòng)植物WildlifeProtectionDinosaurs

恐龍因一次意外事件而滅絕，但是今天的野生動(dòng)植物卻是因?yàn)槿祟惖膫ΧЩ蛱幵谖ｋU(xiǎn)中。例如，老虎被獵殺以獲取做地毯的皮毛，以致它們只能生活在安全的保護(hù)區(qū)里；草地被毫不憐憫地破壞，以致沙塵暴開始影響遙遠(yuǎn)的城市。去年，科學(xué)家觀察到猴子在身上擦某種昆蟲來保護(hù)自己不受兇猛的蚊子的叮咬。根據(jù)檢查的結(jié)果，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這種昆蟲含有一種具有強(qiáng)大效力的藥物，于是，當(dāng)?shù)氐霓r(nóng)民都被雇來抓蟲子。結(jié)果是，這種昆蟲從這整個(gè)地區(qū)都消失了。當(dāng)被告知說這是整個(gè)人類的損失時(shí)，農(nóng)民們都突然大笑著回應(yīng)道：“我們減少的收入才是我們真正的損失呢！”我們應(yīng)該意識(shí)到自然平衡的重要，更加注意野生動(dòng)植物的保護(hù)。直到我們成功讓野生動(dòng)植物安詳平靜地生活，我們自己才能如釋重負(fù)地笑開顏。10.MyFirstBand我的第一支樂隊(duì)

王鵬經(jīng)營一家燒烤餐廳來謀生，他的餐廳供應(yīng)美味的臘肉、油炸的雞胸，還有用辣椒和大蒜一起烤制的羊肉。但是，他的食物和折扣吸引的顧客越來越少，最后是他負(fù)債累累。永慧的減肥餐廳供應(yīng)的是新鮮的豌豆、紅蘿卜、茄子和醋腌的生黃瓜。作為老板娘（女主人），她總是說食物纖維才最有利于顧客的消化。為了不讓永慧說了謊不受懲罰，王鵬不顧她的怒視，前去探查個(gè)究竟。但是讓他驚奇的是，永慧的顧客也在嚴(yán)重地流失。好奇心驅(qū)使王鵬去咨詢專家。那位專家嘆息著說：“你們倆的菜單都缺點(diǎn)明顯、優(yōu)點(diǎn)有限。你的顧客很容易就發(fā)胖，而永慧的顧客體重卻減輕得太快。所以嘛，王鵬，你要減少你的食物中的脂肪含量，增加蔬菜和水果，例如堅(jiān)果、豆類、蘑菇、桃子和檸檬之類。你應(yīng)該把兩份菜單結(jié)合起來，給顧客提供平衡的膳食?！辈痪?，王鵬就贏回了他的顧客。13.SailingHome劃船回家This

“GoAhead”.這部小說寫的是一次令人難以置信而又真實(shí)的歷險(xiǎn)。其作者是一位在美國被撫養(yǎng)長大的黑人商人。1956年，他回到他的出生地非洲。有一天，當(dāng)他在海灣邊的人行道上漫步欣賞海景時(shí)，他丟失了一個(gè)裝著錢和護(hù)照的信封，于是向當(dāng)?shù)氐拇笫桂^尋求幫助。但是大使態(tài)度非常粗魯，即使向他鞠躬，也不允許他的職員幫忙。盯著他那不耐煩的臉，他知道是他皮膚顏色的錯(cuò)才導(dǎo)致了他們的拒絕。于是，他決定冒險(xiǎn)駕駛一只小船回家。他遇到了許多困難，但是從未停止，相反，困難推動(dòng)他更努力地前進(jìn)。三個(gè)月后，當(dāng)他被一艘船偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)時(shí)，真的是衣衫襤褸。給他端來牛排和菠蘿甜品的女仆甚至被嚇得尖叫起來。在船上，他當(dāng)一名理發(fā)師來掙取船費(fèi)，最后終于回到了家。至于這部小說的名字，他再也不能想到一個(gè)比“前進(jìn)”更好的短語了。14.ExploreMKII探測(cè)MKII行星MKII,aplanet

MK二號(hào)是一顆幾十億公里外的行星，它在許多宗教里都是生命起源的地方。物理學(xué)家已經(jīng)證明了它溫和的氣候和重力的牽引都和地球相似的理論；天文學(xué)家也通過衛(wèi)星，在它的大氣層里發(fā)現(xiàn)了氧原子和二氧化碳的存在，這些都是對(duì)生命來說，都是基本的。受到這一消息的鼓舞，生物學(xué)家們接著開始了研究以解開人們的迷惑——既然有了適合的條件，生命真的存在于這個(gè)星球嗎？他們是通過下蛋，還是產(chǎn)仔來繁殖后代的呢？上個(gè)月，一艘太空飛船被派到了那兒?？上У氖牵@次任務(wù)失敗了。不像地球，MK二號(hào)是一顆年輕得多的行星。因此，大團(tuán)大團(tuán)的有害酸云到處漂浮，引起猛烈的連鎖反應(yīng)的爆發(fā)。這些云團(tuán)不僅阻擋了飛行員的視線，而且還損壞了發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)系統(tǒng)。幸運(yùn)的是，飛行員小心注意，才及時(shí)阻止了飛船的墜毀。15.AJourneyacrossCanada橫穿加拿大的旅行

去年秋天的一次考試后，光向東橫穿整個(gè)大陸，來到多倫多探望他的同學(xué)，這次旅行的距離測(cè)量起來大約有五千多公里。他的火車從群山圍繞的溫哥華啟程。在證實(shí)了自己的行李都在火車上之后，光就在座位上安坐下來。因?yàn)樵谂c人交流方面有天賦，他在5分鐘內(nèi)就和另一個(gè)乘客聊起天來。他們的話題包括加拿大的傳統(tǒng)、加拿大的總理、種族的混合，還有讓人心驚膽戰(zhàn)的大瀑布。中午吃了一頓美味的自助餐后，他很高興發(fā)現(xiàn)外面的風(fēng)景非常讓人印象深刻。他看見了遠(yuǎn)處美麗的海港、富裕的市區(qū)，還有延綿幾千畝的楓樹林，他甚至還設(shè)法看見了一只在灌木叢上空翱翔的鷹。光在一個(gè)薄霧籠罩的黎明到達(dá)稍稍接近邊境的多倫多，地上有霜，寬闊的市區(qū)街道很安靜。盡管還很早，光卻不愿等待，立刻就在附近電話亭給同學(xué)打了個(gè)電話。他們?cè)谝黄鸲冗^了美好的時(shí)光。16.AWomanDoctor-Lina女醫(yī)生麗娜

俊是一名越南的農(nóng)民，幾十年來，他都一直在努力使家人擺脫饑餓。然而，如何擴(kuò)大他的農(nóng)作物產(chǎn)量這一問題卻一直在困擾著他。這個(gè)惱人的問題導(dǎo)致了他后悔當(dāng)一名農(nóng)民，而寧愿自己當(dāng)初選擇其它的工作。一天，俊在瀏覽報(bào)紙的時(shí)候，讀到一篇關(guān)于袁隆平的評(píng)論。他在袁的國籍和職業(yè)下面劃了線，然后將焦點(diǎn)集中在他的發(fā)現(xiàn)和研究數(shù)據(jù)上。他發(fā)現(xiàn)袁傳播的知識(shí)非常實(shí)用，因此，他做了摘要，并開始建立一種新的耕作方式。他種植營養(yǎng)豐富的超級(jí)谷物，添置設(shè)備以使作物的根部免受細(xì)菌害蟲的傷害；他還增加土壤所含的礦物質(zhì)，同時(shí)減少化學(xué)肥料的使用。盡管耗費(fèi)了他更多的時(shí)間和自由，他卻充滿著希望。第二年，俊被曬黑了，但是卻對(duì)自己的生產(chǎn)非常滿意。多虧了袁隆平，他不僅贏得了對(duì)抗饑餓的戰(zhàn)斗，而且還將自己的作物出口到國外呢。18.Chaplin-AGreatMasterofHumour幽默大師卓別林

卓別林是一名非凡的演員，他主演并導(dǎo)演了多部杰出的喜劇。看見他可笑的小胡子、滑稽的手勢(shì)動(dòng)作，還有面對(duì)警探的追捕時(shí)有趣的反應(yīng)，很少有人會(huì)覺得厭煩。喝醉酒啦，踩到香蕉皮滑倒啦，或者自言自語（低語）自己的糗事啦，他無需任何語言解釋的表演總是使我們對(duì)自己的生活感到更加滿意。他獨(dú)特的幽默感直到現(xiàn)在依然使世界各地的人們都感到驚訝。在一部小預(yù)算的電影里，他穿著磨破的鞋子和臟兮兮的衣服，扮演了一名貧窮又無家可歸的人。在一幕場(chǎng)景中，他被一場(chǎng)暴風(fēng)雪困在一片多山的區(qū)里。盡管他克服了許多困難，但是他還是運(yùn)氣不好的。粥都吃完了，他只好挑出一只鞋子煮來吃。他切下皮革的鞋底，像烙餅一樣地咀嚼起來。據(jù)一名女演員所說，他的表演是如此地令人信服而又逗人發(fā)笑的，以致在場(chǎng)的所有人都忍不住大笑起來。名師堂教育匯集全國各地?cái)?shù)千位在校老師，提供小初高各科在線一對(duì)一輔導(dǎo)！手機(jī)淘寶搜索關(guān)鍵詞“mst2003”或“名師堂教育”，即可進(jìn)名師堂教育淘寶店。或微信iepsxh咨詢19.AMisunderstanding一場(chǎng)誤會(huì)Ingeneral,
