The next morning, when the giant saw that the work had been done, he let the girl go. Thus it was one of her tears that saved her life.
有只蚂蚁口渴了。它到处找水喝，可就是找不着。突然，就在蚂蚁快要渴死的时候，一大滴水落了下来。蚂蚁喝了水，得了救。这滴水实际上是一个正在哭泣的年轻姑娘的泪水。 蚂蚁抬起头，看见一个年轻姑娘正坐在一大堆种子前。 “你为什么这么伤心啊?”蚂蚁问道。
“我是一个巨人的囚犯,”姑娘告诉蚂蚁，“这大堆种子里夹杂有谷子，大麦和黑麦的种子，我只有把它们分开，拣成三堆，他才肯放我走。”
“这需要你一个月的时间呢!”蚂蚁看了看这大堆的种子说道。
“我知道,”姑娘哭着说，“如果我明天还分不完，巨人就会把我当他的晚餐吃掉!” “不要哭，”蚂蚁说，“我和我的朋友会帮助你的。”
很快，成千上万只蚂蚁忙碌起来，将这些种子按分类分成三堆。 第二天早晨，巨人看到分派给姑娘的活儿干完了，就把她给放了。 就这样，正是那个姑娘的一滴泪救了她自己的性命。

Passage 4
Mr. White lived in a small village. His parents hadn't enough money to send him to school. He had to help them to do something in the fields. But he didn't like to live in the poor place. When he was sixteen, he got to the town and found work in a factory. Three years later he became tall and strong. So he was sent to Africa as a soldier. He stayed there for five years and got some money. Then he came back to England and bought a shop in a small town. No people in the town went to Africa except him. And he hoped they thought he was a famous man and that they could respect him. The children often asked him to tell them some stories and his life in Africa.
One day a few children asked him to tell them something about the animals in Africa. He told them how he fought with the tigers and elephants. His stories surprised them all and some policemen and workers went to listen to him. It made him happier. Just a man who taught geography in a middle school passed there. He stopped to listen to him for a while and then said, “Could you please tell us a rare animal, sir?” ''Certainly,' said Mr. Turner. “One day I met a rhinoceros（犀牛） by a river…''
“Please wait a minute, sir,” said the man. “There aren't any rhinoceros in Africa at all!'' “It's rare just because there aren't any!”

Passage 5
There were once many sheiks（阿拉伯的酋长）who wanted to marry Queen Maura, for she was one of the most beautiful and powerful queens of Arabia.
However, she did not like most of the sheiks, and soon there were only three left on her list of possible husbands.
These three sheiks were all equally young and handsome, rich and strong. It was very hard for the Queen to choose the best one.
One evening, she disguised herself and went to where the three sheiks were having their evening meal. She asked them to give her something to eat.
The first sheik gave her some stale（不新鲜的）food left over from the day before. The second sheik gave her a tough piece of old camel's tail.
The third sheik, whose name was Hakim, gave her some of the most tender（嫩的）and tasty meat. After the meal, Queen Maura left the sheiks' camp.
The next day, she invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace.
She told her servants to give each sheik what he had given her the evening before.
Hakim, who received a plate of tender and tasty meat, would not eat it unless the other two sheiks could share it with him.
Queen Maura was now certain which of the sheiks she wanted to marry.
“Hakim is the most generous of you,” she told them, “so I want to marry him and he will become king.”

第二天，她邀请了三位酋长吃晚饭在她的宫殿。 她告诉她的仆人给每个酋长同样的食物。

Passage 6
Martin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.
King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech \equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.
Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther King's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.
马丁路德金是一个黑人牧师，并成为了20世纪50年代和60年代的民权运动的伟大领袖。

虽然他去世了，但他很受人们的尊敬和爱戴，无论是美国白人和黑人。国会投票通过，1968年，每年一月的第三个星期一是马丁路德金纪念日，作为联邦假日。他永远活在人们的心中。

Passage 7
If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousands of kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.
However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20
18
or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?
If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It will not rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhaps the climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in the world. That is why we must take care of our forests. 如果你乘飞机旅行整个非洲或南美洲的中心，你飞越数千公里的森林。这些伟大的森林是树木的海洋。这里有成千上万的不同种类的植物和动物。
然而，世界森林总是越来越小。由于我们需要木材，我们正在砍伐树木，而且我们需要更多的农田。有人说，这儿不会再有像20年或30年的森林。如果他们消失了会发生什么？
如果我们砍伐我们的森林，许多植物和动物将从世界上消失。在很多地方，新的农田很快就会看起来像旧沙漠。在那里作物不会再生长。下雨不会很频繁，天气会变得非常热。或许世界的气候将发生变化。对世界上的每个人来说这将是危险的。这就是为什么我们必须照顾我们的森林。

Passage 8
The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte.

Passage 9
A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush — often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.
Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.
You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.
The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return — be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.
Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.
一个外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是：人们经常处于压力冲击之下。城市的人似乎总是匆匆地赶往他们要去的不安的地方，在商店里寻找关注，并排挤别人试图完成自己的任务。白天吃饭是这个国家生活节奏的一部分。
工作时间是宝贵的。其他人在公共吃饭的地方等你吃完，以便他们也可以得到在规定的时间内回去工作。每个人忙着为下一个人准备房子。如果你不，等待的人会催促你。
你也会发现司机们很匆忙，人们会过去推你。你会错过微笑，简短的交谈，并与陌生人寒暄。不要在意这些。这是因为人们非常珍惜时间，他们讨厌别人“浪费”时间在礼貌上。
时间观影响了我们对耐心的重视。在美国人的价值体系中，耐心不是高优先级。我们中的许多人被称为“保险丝”。如果我们感觉时间飞逝，而没有得到回报，我们会不停的躁动。无论是为了娱乐，工作价值或休息。那些来自时间观念不同的国家的人可能会发现生活的节奏是他们在商业和日常生活中最难调整。
许多刚到美国的人会想念商务电话的开幕礼，例如，他们将错过社交礼仪，送上一杯茶或咖啡，可能在自己国家的传统。他们会想念在咖啡馆里悠闲的商务聊天。通常情况下，美国人不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的小会谈评估他们的客人。我们寻找过去的业绩而不是通过社交礼仪评估业务的同事。由于我们的专业考察而不是社交评估，我们很快就开始谈正事。
