Passage 21
People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term \has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term－quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.
Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.
很长一段时间人们一直在谈论健康，因为人们知道它的重要性。人们对健康的认识也随着科学研究日益深入。近日，―健康‖一词已经到了一个比以前更广泛的含义。它不再仅仅意味着没有疾病。今天，健康意味着你的身体，你的头脑和与其他人之间的关系。这一新的概念，健康是密切相关的另一项生活品质。质量是生命程度的整体满意度。
为什么健康的重点从有无疾病转向更广泛的到一个人的生活质量？原因之一，寿命的长度和生活条件让人们可以期待。随着医学的进步使人们活得更长寿，可以更健康的生活。想象一下，你在1900年出生，你可以预期平均活到47岁左右。相反，如果你出生在1999年，你可以期望活到75岁。

Passage 22
On February 14th many people in the world celebrate an unusual holiday, St. Valentine's Day, a special day for lovers. The origin of this holiday is uncertain but according to one story it gets its name from a Christian named Valentine who lived in Rome during the 3rd century A.D. His job was to perform marriages for Christian couples. Unfortunately, the Emperor of Rome didn't allow Christian marriages. So they had to be performed in secret. Finally Valentine was arrested and put into prison. While he was in prison he fell in love with the daughter of the prison guard. After one year the Emperor offered to release Valentine if he would stop performing Christian marriages. Valentine refused and so he was killed in February, 270 A.D. Before he was killed Valentine sent a love letter to the daughter of the prison guard. He signed the letter \

二月十四日，世界很多人庆祝这一个不寻常的节日，情人节，恋人的一个特殊的日子。这个节日的起源说不清楚，但有一个故事，它得名于一个基督教徒叫做瓦伦丁，他为基督教夫妇们的婚姻行礼。不幸的是，在公元第三世纪的罗马，罗马皇帝不允许基督徒们的婚姻，所以他们不得不秘密进行。后来他被捕入狱。他在狱中爱上了典狱长的女儿。一年后，皇帝提出释放他只要他愿意停止执行基督徒们的婚姻仪式，他拒绝了，所以他在二月被杀。公元270年,他被击毙之前的情人节送了一封情书给典狱长的女儿。他在信中签字的―来自你的瓦伦丁‖。那是第一个情人。
今天情人卡通常为红色的心形，写着爱的讯息。在情人节那天数以百万计的人发送和接收情人节卡片。无论是昂贵的心形盒巧克力或一个简单的手工卡片，都传递着情人们爱的讯息。

Passage 23
Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.
Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.
The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large \with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about eight kilometers.
人类一直渴望飞翔。历史上许多伟人们都曾考虑过这一问题。例如，伟大的意大利画家达芬奇曾在16世纪时意图设计一款能够飞行的机器，然而令人遗憾的是他们都没有成功。
纵观历史，那些不被人所知的人们也渴望飞行。例如800年前一位英国人，用鸡毛做了一堆翅膀，然后安在自己的背后从高楼上跳下。然而，他并没有飞得多远，相反，他摔下了地面，离开了这个世界。
在这一方面迈出真正意义上第一步的是1783年法国的蒙特戈夫兄弟，他们制造了一个非常大的―热气球‖。因为他们知道热气向上升，所以为什么不用他来充满气球呢？这个气球用碎布和纸张制成。那一年的九月，当时法国的国王和王后来观看这个气球，他们观看了这个气球将第一批―航空旅客‖带上了天空。那些―旅客‖是一头羊和一只鸡，我们不知道它们对这次旅行感觉如何，但是我们知道这次旅行持续了8分钟，而且这些动物们安全的返回了地面。两个月后，有两个人进行了同样的实验，他们乘坐―热气球‖飞上巴黎上空。它们的旅行持续了25分钟，并且飞行了8千米。

Passage 24
In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon（动画片） film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said,\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 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 25
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. \you help me in the library?\she asked. I said, \
Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. \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, \a detective （侦探） job?\
He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, \won.
The next morning, he arrived early, \end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes.
After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy's home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to another school. Her son's first concern, she said, was leaving the library. \will find the lost books?\he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say goodbye. Though at the beginning he had seemed an ordinary boy, his strong feeling of interest had made him different.
Do you know who he is? This boy became a great man of the Information Age: Bill Gates.
那是1965年的一天，当时我在一个学校的图书馆工作，一个老师找到我说，她有一个学生比所有其他学生更早的完成了功课，他想要更难一点的工作来做。―你能在这图书管里帮我找一份吗‖她问道，我说―让他过来吧‖。
很快，一个金发的小男孩出现在我面前，问道―你这里有事情给我做吗？‖我交给他关于如何分拣书本，他很快就学会了。然后我给他看了一些卡片，这些卡片是记录一些未归还的书的，但是我认为已经归还了，只是还没有被记录下来。―也许一些书被放到了错误的地方‖他说道―这算是一种侦探工作吧？‖我说是的，然后

Passage 26
Younger people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about life, work and play. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in peace. Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. The aim is not just to keep busy but rather to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make furniture and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.
There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photography or painting. Others sit around talking and singing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.
When people live together, rules are always necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. The group discusses the problem. They ask, \happen? \
One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience: \You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group. \
年轻人和年纪大的人的意见并不总是一致。有时候，他们对生活，工作和学习的理解是不同的。但是，在纽约州一个特殊的项目里，成年人和少年和平共处。每年夏天，200名少年和50名成年人作为特殊工作组的成员生活在一起8周。每个人每天都工作几个小时。目的不仅仅是为了忙碌，更是为了找到工作的意义和乐趣。一些少年在树林里或在附近的农场里工作。一些孩子学做家具和造房子。而成年人叫他们如何做好这些事情。
每天都有几个小时的空闲时间。周末也休息。在空闲时间内，一些孩子学习摄影和画画，其他人坐在附近聊天唱歌。每个人尽情的根据自己的喜好来度过空闲时间。
没有规矩不成方圆。在这个项目里，少年和成年人一起制定规则。如果有人违反，大家共同面对。通过小组讨论这个问题，他们会问：为什么会发生这样的问题？我们该怎么办？
其中一个少年这样描述这个经历：你不再仅仅关注自己，你得站在整个小组的立场考虑问题。

Passage 28
Computers can injure you. Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example，if you fall off a bike and break your arms，it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly.
You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely. Your eyes
Too much light can injure your eyes，so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50cm from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.
When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect on (反射) the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes. Your hands and wrists
Hand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time，follow these three rules:1) Rest your wrists on some thing. 2) Keep your elbows (肘) at the same height as the keyboard. 3) Stop sometimes and exercise your hands，wrists and fingers in a different way. Your back
Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way，you can injure your back or your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. Your forearms，wrists，hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel (平行) to the floor. If you are
sitting for a long time，get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms，legs and neck.
Enjoy your computer，but use it safely.
电脑可以让你受到伤害.大多数伤害发生的很意外,例如,你从自行车上摔下来并弄伤了手,这发生的很快.但电脑伤人是慢性的,你大概知道怎么去更安全的骑自行车.
现在让我们来学习怎样更安全的使用电脑吧! 你的眼睛
过多的光线会伤害眼睛，所以不要太靠近坐在电脑屏幕。你的眼睛应至少离屏幕50厘米。切记要适当远离它，使你的眼睛休息一下。
当您使用电脑时，窗口应该是在你的左边或右边。如果它在你身后时，光会反射屏幕。如果窗口是在你面前，太阳光和屏幕光都将进入你的眼睛。
你的手和手腕
手和手腕受伤可能发生，因为手和手腕都在数百次同样的方式移动。如果您使用键盘很长一段时间，遵循下列三个原则：1）休息你的手腕。 2）保持你的手肘(肘)在键盘同一高度。 3）停一会，有时间去用不同的方式锻炼你的手、手腕和手指。
你的背
有些人坐在电脑前的几个小时。如果以错误的方式坐，你可能伤害你的背部或颈部。所以，所以你应该坐着后背挺直。屏幕的顶部应该在你的眼前。
你的前臂，手腕，手和腿的上部应该是平行在地板上。如果你是长时间坐着，每隔30分钟起来一次，并锻炼你的手臂，腿和脖子。
