He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disneys cartoon( 动画片 ) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nashs voice, he said, Stop! Thats our duck! The duck was the now famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickeys eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasnt a goody-goody like Mickey. In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared-there were no more new cartoons. Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But todays children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice. (1).Who was Clarence Nash? B A. A cartoonist B.

His family moved to my block when I was only 10. Jerry was 15 at the time, but the fact that he was so much older than me seemed to make no difference to him. I was very glad that he liked me. We took long walks together, on which he would tell me stories he had heard form TV and radio programs. But as months went by, a change came into our friendship. Jerry almost stopped coming by the house, and every time I went to his house or telephoned, he put me off with some excuses such as “ Im studying now” or “ Ive got some jobs to do for Mum” . When we passed on the street, he would still give me a warm smile and friendly wave with a “ Hi, kid” , but he would hardly ever stop to talk. Finally I realized that he was no longer interested in me and that his taste had changed. I noticed him with a girl once in a while and several times saw him going out in his familys car on a Friday or Saturday night. I simply couldnt understand what was so great about girls and parties. But I was hurt when he finally made me know that our friendship was at an end. Of course he didnt really mean to hurt me, but it was a long time before I realized that it was an age problem that caused the break. There were a world of differences between the ideas and interests of a 17-year-old and a 12-year-old. Now that Im over sixteen myself, I realized this, and the hurt I got then has become happy memories of the good times we were once together. I wonder if millions of other boys and girls have had a similar experience.

One day in 1965, when I was a library worker at school, a teacher came to me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do. “ Could you help me in the library?” she asked. I said, “ Send him along.”Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. “ Do you have a job for me?” he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, “ Is it a kind of a detective （侦探）job? ” I answered yes, and then began his work.He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, “ Time for rest!” he argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won. 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 2 页，共 12 页The next morning, he arrived early, “ I want to finish these books,” he said.

At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to another school. Her sons first concern, she said, was leaving the library. “ Who will find the lost books? ” he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say goodbye.

They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends. People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you. Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal （非语言的） communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out （突出） of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. (1).What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?答案 (A) A. The home matters greatly to Englishmen. B. The castle is more important than the home. C. The home is more important than the castle. D. Englishmen usually live in homes instead of castles. (2).Which of the following is NOT the reason for most British to live in homes? 答案(B) A. They can make changes in houses in which they live. B. They love houses more than gardens. C. They can own private space like the house and the garden. D.

Down the entrance hall of the school walk four eighth-grade students. Each one is carrying a small basket with a single egg inside. Soon more students join them-each one of them is also carrying a basket with an egg. The eggs in a basket are part of a new school program that helps young people understand that having a baby is a great duty. At the beginning of the program, the teacher puts the students in pairs-one girl and one boy. Each pair gets an egg, which they must take care of for two weeks. For those fourteen days, the students have to take care of the eggs as though they were real babies. Students whose eggs get broken have to start the two weeks all over again with a new egg. One person in each pair must have the egg with him or her at all times-twenty-four hours a day. At no time can they let the egg be out of sight. If a teacher catches you without your egg, said one student, she makes you go get it. They are really strict. The teachers also make the students spend half an hour each day sitting with the egg and just watching it. That can get pretty boring. But its also something that parents spend a lot of time doing. Children say that the program has helped them understand the duties involved in having a child. It was really hard, said one student, You had to think all the time about the egg.
