我的祖母不识字，可是她有一箩筐的神话和传奇故事。小时候我总是缠着她，要她给我讲故事。而她在忙完家务之后，总会把我抱到膝上，一边讲故事一边有节奏地晃动我。

我父母发现了我对故事的浓厚兴趣后，不失时机地引导我进行阅读。他们给我买了许多带插图的故事书，有空的时候就一遍遍地读给我听。慢慢我认识了很多字，能够自行阅读了。

Although my grandmother was illiterate,she had a good stock of myths and legends.When I was young I gave her no peace,constantly asking her to tell me stories.After she had finished her housework,she would lift me onto her lap and tell stories,all the while rocking me in rhythm.

Having noticed my interest in stories,my parents lost no time in initiating me into reading. They bought many storybooks with illustrations,and whenever free,they would read these stories to me over and over again.By and by I had a vocabulary large enough to read on my own.

一项又一项的研究发现，食物和一些慢性疾病之间有密切关系。例如，某些慢性疾病危险的降低与多吃植物为基本成分的食物有关。因此，在过去的十年中，美国饮食协会敦促美国人减少动物脂肪的摄取，增加水果、蔬菜和谷物的消费。同时，美国农业部发布了包括食物指导金字塔在内的文件，鼓励人们每天至少吃三道蔬菜和两份水果。但是，许多美国人还是没有按照这些建议去做。

Study after study has uncovered the fact that there is a close correlation between food and a number of chronic diseases.For example,a decreased risk of certain chronic diseases is associated with an increased consumption of plant-based foods.Therefore,in the past decade,the American Dietetic Association has urged Americans to reduce their intake of animal fats,and to boost consumption of fruits,vegetables,and grains.Meanwhile,the United States Department of Agriculture has released a document containing the food guide pyramid,which encourages a minimum of three vegetable and two fruit servings per day.However,many Americans still don’t meet/listen to these recommendations.

我们大学的新任校长不赞成在某种情况下容许说谎的看法。他认为人们一旦习惯于说任何一类的谎言，就会纵容自己，最终无法摆脱说谎恶习。是否讲谎话有时会成为棘手的难题，但是我们的校长坚持认为在教育青年人的过程中，所有教育界的人士都不得逃避将诚实放在首位的责任。我同意他的看法。你的意见呢？

The new president of our university disapproves of the idea that we should be allowed to tell lies under certain circumstances.He believes that if people get used to telling any kind of lie,they will Indulge themselves and eventually be stuck with the bad habit.To tell or not to tell a lie can sometimes become a very sticky issue,but our president insists on the notion that nobody in the world of education should dodge the responsibility of attaching primary importance to honesty while teaching the young.I agree with him.What about you?

在注册上数学202这门课时，我就预料到会有困难，因为我在高中读书时数学基础不好。这门课是由理查深教授讲授的，他是一位典型的老派的先生，对学生非常热情友好。然而，在学术问题上他一点也不马虎。在正式授课之前，他热情洋溢的阐述了有条不紊地工作、课前做好充分准备和不满足于所学知识的重要性。他的工作态度具有很强的感染力，渐渐地，我也爱上了数学。

When I enrolled in Math202,I anticipated difficulties because I was not well grounded in mathematics in high school.The course was taught by Professor Richardson,a fine specimen of an old-fashioned gentleman,very cordial to his students.However,when it came to academic matters, he was by no means an easy person.Before he started his lecture,he discoursed enthusiastically on the importance of working in an orderly fashion,of being thoroughly prepared before each class, and of not being content with what you have learned.His attitude towards work was infectious,and by and by I became an ardent math lover,too.

多数科学家不再怀疑世界正在变暖，也不再怀疑是人类改变了气候。他们认为全球气候变暖对这个星球及其居住者的长期影响将是灾难性的。而且，气候变化不会平稳地过渡到一个较为暖和的世界。一些地区将受到气候急速变化的严重影响。人口密集的大片地区如弗罗里达沿海地带将无法居住。千百万居民将不得不迁移到安全地区。因此，全球变暖出现在世界领袖的议事日程上也就不足为奇了。

Most scientists no longer doubt that the world is warming up and that humanity has altered climate.They agree that the long-term effects of global warming will be disastrous for the planet and its inhabitants.What is more,climate change won’t be a smooth transition to a warmer world. Some regions will be greatly affected by abrupt climate changes.Enormous areas of densely populated land like coastal Florida would become uninhabitable.Hundreds of millions of residents would have to migrate to safer regions.Therefore,it is no surprise that global warming has made its way onto the agenda of world leaders.

赌徒的家人经常付出高昂的代价。他们不但要忍受一夜之间失去财富的痛苦，而且时常感到极度沮丧和无望。

一项全国性的调查发现，200多万成年人认为其配偶的赌博行为是他们先前离婚的重要原因。密西西比州一个县的离婚数目在赌场出现后较以前几乎增长了两倍。该县还见证了赌场出现后家庭暴力事件的攀升。

大量的事实表明，法律许可的赌博其蔓延之势毁灭了个人，葬送了家庭，增加了犯罪，最终给社会造成的损失远远大于政府从中征得的税收岁入。

Gamblers’family members always pay a steep price.They not only have to endure the pain of having their wealth wiped away overnight,but they are also frequently overwhelmed with feelings of depression and hopelessness.

A nationwide survey found that over2million adults identified a spouse's gambling as a significant factor in a prior divorce.The number of divorces in a county in Mississippi has nearly tripled since the advent of casinos.The county has also witnessed increases in domestic violence since then.

A considerable body of evidence showed that the expansion of legally sanctioned gambling destroys individuals,ruins families,increases crime,and ultimately costs society far more than the revenues government collects.
