minutes. My first instinct was to call our leaders to tell them what had happened and see what we could do for those colleagues who died or got injured in this traffic accident.

children, a beautifully printed paper book is not only a book but also a toy they can play with. Reading a paper book is rather different from reading a book on the screen.

5. 那是个粗鲁的玩笑，可是达尼卡大夫并没有笑，直到约萨里安又执行了
一次任务之后，再次来求他要求停飞——尽管这没有任何指望。达尼卡大夫窃笑了一下，很快又沉浸到他自己的麻烦中去了，这包括怀特·哈夫特指挥官那天早上一直在向他挑战，要和他比印度式摔跤，而约萨里安则恰恰在彼时彼地决定要发疯。

暴，用运牲口的拖车把他们运送到德伦特最大的集中营威斯特伯克，他么把所有犹太人都遣送到那里。?如果在荷兰都这么糟，那么在德国人送他们去的那些遥远的蛮荒之地又会是什么样呢？
8. 它传来的是一个孤独少女的声音，她为自己写作，但同时也是所有无辜
受邪恶迫害者的呐喊，他们的命运就是在第二次世界大战期间受难。这就是安妮·弗兰克的日记被誉为犹太人大屠杀（其间有六百万犹太人被杀害）之声的原因：她的话代表了全人类的心声。 6
5. Though they came across many difficulties, under his leadership they

7. He caught a cold yesterday. Assuming that he would get better after a good
night’s sleep, we sent him to school this morning. But later in the afternoon, he got back home with a fever and was confined to bed.
8. In the past few years, I have had several severe illnesses and lived in a state

? The writer creates an atmosphere to show that she was very tense and nervous
(dry mouth, heat beating), but at the same time she was excited and energetic (heart beating, adrenaline pumping) before her race.
? “Burning legs” give readers a feeling of pain, struggling, exhaustion and possibly
a fear of losing the race (because of the opening gap).
? The word “tingle” spreads the effect to readers that they could feel her feeling of
excitement, achievement and victory through a feel of pain all over her body. ? The three quotes also show the writers’ feelings during three stages of the race:
tense and excited (before the race); struggling and fearful (during the race) and victorious (in the end).
2. They highlight the key messages which she kept telling herself, the messages which helped her win. She invites readers to see her inner thoughts with this simple and factual information: two minutes, one more lap towards being the Olympic champion. 3.

? lifted spirits, mental stamina, inner self, I thought I had, keep negative thoughts from my mind, smiled, still not sure (internal thoughts and reactions); ? the sea of faces, arms aloft, fists clenched (body actions).
She is also successful in using a string of emotional adjectives and adverbs to describe her feelings and surroundings which stimulated her feelings:
? illuminated, deafening, tantalisingly, loudly, fantastic, completely exhilarating,
