四、阅读

Long ago, there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.

One day a stude nt asked him, “My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many, many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far

more than you.”

With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles, one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said, “Of course, I have learned much more. But it’s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that’s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn, the more questions you have. Y ou will never learn enough, you know.”

Y our honor（法官大人）！

Let me say a few words for myself. What they have told you is not true. I was not trying to kill anyone, and it was hardly possible to try to kill three strong young men at the same time. I didn't have anything to kill people that night and was quite alone. I didn't know them and needn't hate them. I was attacked (袭击) by them, and I knocked one of them down, it's true, but I was made to do it, or I might be killed by them. I did this not because I hated the white men as they said. I just had to do so. While I was beaten in the dark street by the three men, a policeman came, caught me and then took me here.

I know why I was beaten. I have just moved into a house next to these white men.

I have felt that I am not welcome and I have tried to be quiet. I think, as an American, I have the right(权利) to choose where to live. If I'm guilty( 有罪), what makes me guilty is my color opposite to theirs and I can't enjoy justice(公正) . Y et, I'm not guilty. This is all I want to say. Thank you, your honor.

A desert is a very dry land where there is hardly any rain.

In the day, it can be so hot that you could fry an

egg on the ground. But during the night it is sometimes so

cold that water would turn into ice.

Many deserts are covered in sand. But some have

mountains, rocks, or lakes that have dried up in the heat.

The Great American Desert has cliffs（悬崖）that have

been made into amazing and beautiful shapes by the wind. The Sahara Desert in Africa is mostly sand. The Australian Desert has red sand.

Sometimes it does not rain for a whole year in the desert. But there is water deep under the ground and some plants have roots that go very deep to find it. Other plants have roots that spread out（延伸）a long way so they can suck up the rain as soon as

it falls.

One desert plant is the cactus, which has long, spreading roots.

The cactus stores water inside its hard skin. This skin protects it from

heat and cold.

Camels are a bit like cactus plants! They

store water too—inside their bodies. They have

special fur which protects them from the sun during the day and

keeps them warm at night.

Some other animals live in deserts, too. They have to be very good at seeing and hearing because most of them only come out at night. This is why many desert animals have extra big eyes or ears.

A desert fox has bigger ears than a

normal fox. A gerbil has huge eyes, so

that it can see at night. It stays cool in

the day by staying underground, like

most desert animals.

Some people live in the desert but they always make their homes near an oasis. An oasis is where water comes from an underground river. Near an oasis, people can grow lots of plants and keep animals.

Life is hard in the desert, for people, animals and plants.

But desert people like to live there.

56. A desert is very dry because ________.

A. it is sandy

B. the wind is strong

C. there is so little rain

D. there is no water deep

under the ground
