he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't 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 today's children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
1933年,一个名叫纳什.克拉伦斯的普通美国人去拜访电影制作人迪斯尼.沃尔特.他拥有与众不同的声音,想在迪斯尼卡通电影公司工作.迪斯尼.沃尔特听到他的嗓音时，说：“停下，那是我们的鸭子（的声音）。
这只鸭子就是现在著名的唐老鸭,它第一次出现在影片\聪明的小母鸡\中.唐老鸭住在一艘破旧的船上,它穿着海员服,戴着水手帽.第二年,在一部八分钟的电影\米老鼠\上映之后,纳什成为了明星.观众喜欢唐老鸭的懒惰和贪婪,也因为它很容易发脾气.观众喜欢它的声音,特别是当它和米老鼠的八个侄子生气的时候.很快,唐老鸭变得比米老鼠还要受欢迎,可能是因为它不像米老鼠那样虚伪.
在二十世纪三十,四十和五十年代,唐老鸭和它的朋友米老鼠,Goofy和Pluto 演绎了几百部卡通片.他还制作了关于美国在世界上地位以及关于家庭安全问题的教育影片.1996年后,唐老鸭和它的声音从荧屏上消失了,再也没有演绎新的卡通片.
纳什.克拉伦斯在1985年2月去世了,但是现在的孩子仍能在电视上看到他以前的卡通片,听到他那著名的声音.

Passage 12
In 1920, barely out of his teens, Alfred Hitchcock went to work for an American film company which had opened a studio in Islington, London. His first job at the studio was writing captions （脚本） for silent movies. Within two years, he was writing scripts（剧本） and working as an assistant director.
For the rest of the 1920s, Hitchcock worked on one film after another in Britain and Germany. Filming was often a rough-and-ready（匆忙做成的） affair and the assistant director was required to step in and plug gaps. A cameraman went missing, Hitchcock became a cameraman. A scene needed rewriting, Hitchcock rewrote it. Someone needed to be in charge of money when the film crew was on location, Hitchcock looked after the money.
At the same time, this being the era of silent movies, Hitchcock was learning the language of cinema: telling a story－not through dialogue, but through visual images（视觉影象）. This led to his success later.
When he began to direct his own films, first in Britain and later in Hollywood, he was determined to make films that held the audience's attention and kept tension（紧张感）. He succeeded. Hitchcock's ability to put you on the edge of your seat makes him one of the greatest makers of suspense（悬念） movies.
1920，阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克（Alfred Hitchcock）还不到20岁， 在美国的一家电影公司工作。这家电影公司在伦敦的Islington开了个制片厂。他的第一份工作是为默片写脚本。两年内，他写剧本，并且当副导演。
在20年代，他在英国和德国出品了一部又一部电影。电影经常是匆忙现做的，所以需要副导演再来介入加入火花高潮等。
同时，这是默片时代。希区柯克学习电影语言---不是通过对话，而是通过视觉影像来讲故事。这带来了他之后的成功。
当他开始在英国后来在好莱坞导演自己的电影时，他下定决心要让观众看时候感到紧张。他成功了。希区柯克的电影能够让你紧张地坐在椅子的边边，这就是为什么他能成为悬疑电影大师的原因

Passage 13
Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its owner didn't know what to do. The food in his restaurant was cheap and good, but nobody seemed to want to eat there.
Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant was always full of men and their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a beautiful menu. The menus looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter handed to the man gave the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine; while the menu that he handed to the lady gave a much higher price! So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous than he really was!

Passage 14
There was once an ant that was very thirsty.
It ran here and there looking for some water but could not find any.
Then suddenly, when the ant was almost ready to die of thirst, a large drop of water fell on it.
The ant drank the water, which saved its life.
The water was actually a tear from a young girl who was crying. Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings.
The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds. \
\three separate heaps of grain, barley（大麦）and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together.\
\
\his supper!\
\
Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.
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. 1.The ant was playing when it ran here and there. 蚂蚁在到处玩

Passage 15
Mrs. Weeks was reading a newspaper story to her class. The story said:
\Children's Hospital are asking for money for children's toys. Some children in the hospital must stay in bed for many weeks. Toys are needed to keep the sick children happy and quiet. Money for them can be sent to the hospital.
After Mrs. Weeks read the story，she said，\
\the children in the hospital, \ \， \ \
Mrs. Weeks smiled. \ \
\
On Saturday afternoon，Mrs. Weeks took the children to the hospital with the toys made by her students. The children in the hospital felt very happy to see the toys. So did the children in the class.
A few days later，Mrs. Weeks read another newspaper story to the class:
Some school pupils brought toys to Children's Hospital last week. The toys were made by the pupils of Grade Three in Green Street School. The doctors said，\wonderful toys. Our children are very happy with them. They say，'THANK YOU，GRADE THREE.'\
Mrs. Weeks 正在给全班同学读一张报纸，故事是这样的：
“你是否有过这样的经历：你很小的时候呆在医院里，感觉如何？”儿童医院的医生正在为孩子们的玩具要求需要资金援助。一些孩子必须要在医院卧床几个星期。玩具可以让这些生病的孩子保持快乐、安静乖巧。给他们的捐款可以直接给医院。 Mrs. Weeks 读完这个新闻后，她说，“这个新闻启发了我。” ‘你希望我们能够捐款买玩具”“那我们可以把我们的玩具带给医院里的小孩啊”，孩子们争先恐后的说。
“是的，你们的想法可能很完美，但是我的想法跟你们不同”Mrs. Weeks 说
