卷AGenetically modified foods (or GM foods) are foods derived from genetically modified organisms. Genetically modified organisms have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. Typically, genetically modified foods are transgenic plant products: soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil. Animal products have also been developed, although as of July 2010 none are currently on the market. Critics have objected to GM foods on several grounds, including safety issues, ecological concerns, and economic concerns. However, genetically-modified foods are here to stay. That’s not to say that food produced by conventional agriculture will disappear, but simply that food-buying patterns will polarize (两极分化): there will be a right market for conventional food just as there is for organic food. It may even be that GM food will become the food of preference because consumers come to appreciate the health benefits of reduced pesticide use. The reason GM food will not go away is that we need a three-fold increase in food production by the year 2050 to keep pace with the world’s predicted population growth to ten or eleven billion. It’s not just a quest ion of more mouths to feed either. What is often forgotten is that all these extra people will take up space, reducing the overall land available for agriculture. "Genetic modification is analogous to nuclear power: nobody loves it, but climate change has made its adoption imperative," says economist Paul Collier of Oxford University. "Declining genetic modification makes a complicated issue more complex. Genetic modification offers both faster crop adaptation and a biological, rather than chemical, approach to yield increases." The world has 800 million hungry people. Until now, food supplies have been increased by improved varieties, pesticides and artificial fertilizers: the green revolution. Now we’re on the edge of a new revolu tion: a genetic one.It may well be that in the long term it is the developing world that benefits most from GM foods. It’s true that for the next ten years or so GM crops may be too expensive. But the lesson of personal computers is applicable here — once the technology has been developed for profitable crops, it will spread and become affordable for all. This doesn’t mean, unfortunately, that famines will disappear, but severity and duration will be helped by an improved ability to produce and distribute food.31. The introduction of GM food will affect _____.A) food-pricing standardB) food-buying patternsC) food-supplies scaleD) food-production efficiency正确答案：B32 Consumers prefer GM food to conventional food because _____.A) GM food receives less pesticide applicationB) GM food is more nutritious than organic foodC) GM food is cheaper than conventional foodD) Conventional food is free from chemicals正确答案：A33. If the world population grows to ten or eleven billion by the year 2050,_____.A) a genetic revolution will take over the green revolutionB) the overall land available for agriculture will run outC) the number of hungry people will rise to 800 millionD) food production should be increased to three times that of today正确答案：D34. "But the lesson of personal computers is applicable here" (in the last paragraph) probably means that ______. A) once the technological innovationis in progress, its cost will be reducedB) once the technology has been turned into productivity, it will become popularC) once the technology has been developed for profitable products, it will enter into our daily lifeD) once the technology has been improved to meet the demands of the developing world, it will be affordable正确答案：C35. We can infer from the passage that GM food will _____A) be too expensive to affordB) keep the world from starvationC) be well-accepted by some consumersD) eventually replace conventional food正确答案：CPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The radical transformation of the Soviet society had a profound impact on women’s lives. Soviet women under Stalin were also the first generation of women able togive birth in the safety of a hospital, with access to prenatal care (产检). Marxists had traditionally believed that both capitalism and the middle-class husbands exploited women. The Russian Revolution of 1917 immediately proclaimed complete equalityof rights for women. In the 1920s divorce and abortion were made easily available,and women were urged to work outside the home and liberate themselves sexually. After Stalin came to power, sexual and familial liberation was played down, and the most lasting changes for women involved work and education. These changes were truly revolutionary. Young women were constantly told that they had to be equal to men, that they could and should do everything men could do. Peasant women in Russia had long experienced the equality of backbreaking physical labor in the countryside, and they continued to enjoy that equality on collective farms. Withthe advent of the five-year-plans, millions of women also began to toil in factories and in heavy construction, building dams, roads and steel mills in summer heat and winter frost. Most of the opportunities open to men through education were also open to women. Determined women pursued their studies and entered the ranks of thebetter-paid specialists in industry and science. Medicine practically became a woman’s profession. By 1950, 75 percent of doctors in the Soviet Union were women. Thus Stalinist society gave women great opportunities but demanded great sacrificesas well. The vast majority of women simply had to work outside the home. Wages were so low that it was almost impossible for a family or couple to live only on the husband’s earnings. Moreover, the full-time working woman had a heavy burden of household tasks in her off hours, for most Soviet men in the 1930s still considered the home and the children the woman’s responsibility. Men continued to monopolize the best jobs. Finally, rapid change and economic hardship led to many broken families, creating further physical, emotional, and mental strains for women. In any event, the often-neglected human resource of women was mobilized in Stalinist society.36. The main idea of this passage is that women in Stalinist society ________.A) had economic opportunities that had never been available beforeB) had difficulty balancing their work and family responsibilitiesC) had new opportunities but also many hardshipsD) moved quickly into the highest levels of government正确答案：C37. In the last paragraph, "monopolize" probably means _____.A) hold B) earn C) leave D) pay正确答案：A38. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to ________.A) compare different systems of governmentB) tell stories about women in Soviet UnionC) amuse the readerD) provide information正确答案：D39. The author’s tone in this passage can best be described as ________.A) disapproving B) emotional C) objective D) sympathetic 正确答案：C40.We can conclude that the economic and social status of women in Stalinist society ________.A) had been improvedB) was worse than beforeC) had not changed muchD) was better than that in capitalistic countries正确答案：A卷BA few years ago, Ann and Walter Taylor thought it might be time to move out of their New York City apartment to the suburbs. But after months of looking, they became discouraged and decided to buy an old house right in the middle of Brooklyn, which is a pa rt of New York City. To their delight, they discovered that they weren’t the only young couple to have made such a decision. Brooklyn isn’t the only city in the United States to experience this kind of renewal. Charleston, South Carolina, has so successfully rebuilt its old central area that it now ranks as one of America’s most charming cities. The restoration of the old port city of Savannah, Georgia, is also living proof that downtown areas do not need to die. But encouraging as these developments may be, they are among the few bright spots in a mass of difficulties that today’s cities face. In the 1940s, urban Americans began a mass move to the suburbs in search of fresh air, elbowroom, and privacy. Suburbs began to sprawl out across the countryside. Since most of those making the move were middle-class, they took with them the tax money the cities needed to maintain the neighborhoods in which they had lived. Thus, many cities began to fall into disrepair. Crime began to soar, and public transportation was neglected. Meanwhile, housing construction costs continued to rise higher and higher. Middle-class housing was allowed to decay, and little new housing was constructed. Eventually, many downtown areas existed for business only. During the day, they would be filled with people working in offices, and at nightthey would be deserted. Given these circumstances, some business executives began asking, "Why bother with going downtown at all? Why not move the offices to the suburbs so that we can live and work in the same area?" Gradually, some of the larger companies began moving out of the cities, with the result that urban centers declined even further and the suburbs expanded still more. This movement of business to the suburbs is not confined to the United States. Business has also been moving to the suburbs in major European countries. But it may well be that this movement to the suburbs has reached its peak. Some people may be tired of spending long hours commuting, and they may have begun to miss the advantages of culture and companionship provided by city life. Perhaps, the decision made by the Taylors is a sign that people will return to the cities and begin to restore them. It begins to look as if subur ban sprawl may not have been the answer to man’s need to create an ideal environment in which to live and work.31. The author of the passage suggests that _____.A) moving to the suburbs is not the answer to an ideal environmentB) cities are likely to be replaced by suburbsC) downtown areas are too crowded to live inD) American people move a lot in history正确答案：A32. The word "elbowroom" in Para. 3 most probably means "_____".A) private space B) room to move freely C) peaceful places D) confined room正确答案：B33. Which of the following statements is true?A) There are just old and poor people left in the cities. B) The movement to the suburbs begins to decline.C) Downtown areas must die in the future. D) Suburbs are sure to replace cities.正确答案：B34. Why has business been moving to the suburbs?A) Because the environment is pleasant in the suburbs. B) Because the suburbs have developed rapidly.C) Because rich people have moved to the suburbs. D) Because many people can live and work in the same area. 正确答案：D35. Many cities began to fall into disrepair in the 1940s because _____.A) housing construction costs continued to rise B) middle-class housing was allowed to decayC) many people moved out of the cities D) only old and poor people were left in the cities正确答案：CPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The estimates of the numbers of home-schooled children vary widely. The U.S. Department of Education estimates there are 250,000 to 350,000 home-schooled children in the country. Home school advocates put the number much higher —at about a million. Public schools take a harsh attitude toward home schoolers, perceiving their actions as the ultimate slap in the face for public education and a damaging move for the children. Home schoolers harbor few kind words for public schools, charging shortcomings that range from lack of religious perspective in the curriculum to a herdlike approach to teaching children. Yet, as public school officials realize they stand little to gain by remaining hostile to the home school population, and as home schoolers realize they can reap benefits from public schools, these hard lines seem to be softening a bit. Public schools and home schoolers have moved closer to tolerance and, in some cases even cooperation. Says John Marshall, an education official, "we are becoming relatively toler ant of home schoolers. The idea is, let’s give the kids access to public school so they’ll see it’s not as terrible as they’ve been told, and they’ll want to come back." Perhaps, but don’t count on it, say home school advocates. Home schoolers oppose the system because they have strong convictions that their approach to education — whether fueled by religious enthusiasm or the individual child’s interest and natural pace — is the best. "The bulk of home schoolers just want to be left alone." says Enge Cannon, associate director of the National Center for Home Education. She says home schoolers choose that path for a variety of reasons, but religion plays a role 85 percent of the time. Professor Van Galen breaks home schoolers into two groups. Some home schoolers want their children to learn not only traditional subject matter but also "strict religious doctrine (教条) and a conservative political and social perspective. Not incidentally, they also want their children to learn —both intellectually and emotionally —that the family is the most important institution in society." Other home schoolers contend "not so much that the schools teach heresy (异端邪说), but that schools teach whatever they teach inappropriately." Van Galen writes. "These parents are highly independent and strive to take responsibility for their own lives within a society that they define as bureaucratic (官僚主义) and inefficient."36. Which of the following statements is true?A) Home schoolers engage private teachers to provide additional education for their children.B) Home schoolers don’t go to school but are educated at home by their parents.C) Home schoolers educate their children at home instead of sending them to school.D) Home schoolers advocate combining public education with home schooling.正确答案：C37. Public schools are softening their position on home schooling because ________.A) they want to show their tolerance for different teaching systemsB) there isn’t much they can do to change the present situationC) they have so many problems that they cannot offer proper education for all childrenD) home schooling provides a new variety of education for children正确答案：B38. Most home schoolers’ opposition to public education stems from their _______.A) concern with the cost involved B) worry about the inefficiency of public schoolsC) devotion to religion D) respect for the interests of individuals正确答案：C39. From the passage we know that home school advocates think that ________.A) home schooling is superior and therefore they will not easily give inB) their increased cooperation with public schools will bring about the improvement of public educationC) public schooling is not so bad as has often been saidD) their tolerance of public education will attract more kids to public schools正确答案：A40. It can be concluded from Van Galen’s research that some home schoolers believe that ________.A) teachers in public schools are not as responsible as they should beB) public schools take up a herdlike approach to teaching childrenC) public schools are the source of bureaucracy and inefficiency in modern societyD) public schools cannot provide education that is good enough for their children正确答案：D卷CIt is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our men unfortunately miss that beneficial branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It dose not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself. Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is "aim high." Say to yourself, "My place is at the top." Be king in your dreams. And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is all wrong. I tell you "put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket." Look around you and take notice; men who do that do not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that break most eggs in the country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tremble and trip (摔倒) him up.31. The author will be glad to see a young man ______ the first day he is at work.A) trying his hand at a broom B) walking around the office C) reading books D) absent from work正确答案：A32. The author ______.A) started his career by sweeping out the office B) looks down on the janitors and janitressesC) pays respect to the janitors and janitresses D) thinks it unnecessary to have a professional sweeper正确答案：A33. According to the passage, ______ is an indispensable part of business education.A) being a good janitor or janitress B) starting from sweeping in the officeC) learning to use the computer D) getting familiar with the Internet正确答案：B34. ______ is essential in your way to success.A) Patience B) Concentration C) Perseverance D) Modesty正确答案：B35. In the second paragraph, "concerns" is most close in meaning to ______.A) firms B) worries C) businessmen D) deals正确答案：APassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Despite a cooling of the economy, high-technology companies are still crying out for skilled workers. The Information Technology Association of America projects that more than 800,000 technology jobs will go unfilled next year. The lack of qualified workers poses a huge threat to the U.S. economy. The most commonly cited reason for this state of affairs is that the country's agrarian-age (农村时代) education system fails to prepare students in the primary and secondary grades for twenty-first-century work. Yet an inadequate and outmoded education system is only part of the problem. A less tangible but equally powerful cause is an antique classification system that divides the workforce into two camps: white-collar knowledge workers and blue-collar manual laborers. Blue-collar workers emerged in the United States during the Industrial Age as work migrated from farms to factories. White-collar office workers became a significant class in the twentieth century, outnumbering the blue-collar workers by mid-century. Corporations increasingly require a new layer of knowledge worker: a highly skilled multi-disciplined talent, who combines the mind of the white-collar worker with a solid grounding in mathematics and science (physics, chemistry, and biology). These "gold-collar" workers — so named for their contributions to their companies and to the economy as well as for their personal earning ability —apply that knowledge to technology. The gold-collar worker already exists in a wide range of jobs. The maintenance technician who tests and repairs aircraft systems at American Airlines; the network administrator who manages systems and network operations at Procter & Gamble; the engineering technologist who assists scientists at Sandia National Laboratories; and the advanced-manufacturing technician at Intel can all be regarded as gold-collar workers.36. In the first paragraph, the word "projects" can be best replaced by _____.A) throws B) predicts C) concludes D) claims正确答案：B37. Compared with a blue-collar worker, a gold-collar worker _____.A) is more skillful in technology B) has received higher educationC) used to be a white-collar worker D) learnt more in high school正确答案：A38. A gold-collar worker _____.A) knows more than one kind of knowledge or skill B) knows only one kind of knowledge or skillC) earns less than a blue-collar worker D) earns less than a white-collar worker正确答案：A39. The first group of blue-collar workers were most likely to be _____ in the past.A) migrants B) educators C) servants D) farmers正确答案：D40. When did the number of white-collar workers become bigger than that of the blue-collar workers in America? A) Recently. B) In 1970 or so. C) In 1950 or so. D) During the Industrial Age.正确答案：C卷DThe estimates of the numbers of home-schooled children vary widely.

新理念英语阅读初一第1-2册译文新理念英语阅读初一第1~2册译文孙老师初一英语阅读《新理念》第一册译文第一篇走进苗圃Chapter1等奶奶今天，外面尘土飞扬。
风拍打着土地，卷起团团棕色的泥土，充斥着整个小镇。
我就坐在门口的台阶上看着下班回家的女人。
终于，我看见奶奶背着她的篮子。
她满身尘土，看起来很疲惫，但看到我时她还是露出了微笑。
“你在干什么，Kemzie ？”她问。
“在等你。
”我说。
“我想要你来帮我种树。
”“树？”奶奶问。
我告诉奶奶，今天有人到学校和我们说有关植树的事。
我告诉她我想要到他们种树的地方——小镇外的苗圃帮忙。
“我们需要树木给我们提供木头，树荫和水果，而且有助于很好地保护地球。
”我快速地说。
奶奶笑了，把她的篮子放了下来。
“如果你想你就去吧，但我必须要做晚餐。
”她说。
这片刻我感觉很糟糕。
我不应该现在离开奶奶。
我应该帮她砍生火用的木头，做她从市场上得来的食物。
自从妈妈爸爸去世后，奶奶一直在照顾我们这个家。
这对她是困难的工作。
Chapter2镇外我看着奶奶，不确定做什么。
“去吧！去吧！但是回来的时候带些木头和水果。
” 她开玩笑道。
“好的！”我说。
我转身，以最快的速度跑出门，沿着那条多尘的街道向小镇外跑去。
我顺着一条通往小山的旧的小路。
突然，我看见苗圃就在我的面前。
它像一片绿色的海，有各种各样的树和一个巨大的菜园。
我跨进了大门。
这儿很宁静，没有受到外面大风的侵扰，闻起来是那么清新。
Chapter3欢迎来苗圃有人说：“你好。
我今天在学校看见你了，不是吗？”我猛地转身去，看到那个到班级和我们交谈的人。
“欢迎。
”她说，并且伸出她的手。
“我是麦凯伦。
”“我是凯梅希。
”我说。
在苗圃的后面，人们正把小树苗放进麻布袋里。
他们中的一个是我的朋友，安妮。
我们帮忙把这些树装到一辆卡车的后面，准备好让麦凯伦把它们带到农场种植下去。
这是艰难的工作，但是和安妮在一起是有趣的。
她对一切都可以开玩笑。
麦凯伦给我们带来了一些饮料和香蕉。

本对自己要发明什么毫无头绪。
他吃完冰淇淋，准备再去弄些来。
但是，冰淇淋一点也不剩了。
“我知道了，”他兴奋地说，“我要发明一个冰淇淋机！”词组：hold meeting召开会议take turns轮流，更替think of考虑；想起；有···想法sit at坐，在···坐a bowl of一碗have no idea不知道，不了解Chapter2本抓起几张纸和支钢笔，然后他就画出了他的冰淇淋机设计草图。
这个草图看起来不太像个冰淇淋机，但是本确信它是可行的。
“我不需要试验，”本对自己说，“好吧，我没时间去试验了。
”本只有找材料的时间了。
第二天下午，查德、布兰卡还有朱迪都在本的卧室。
本带着一只麻袋出现了。
他倒提着麻袋，许多稀奇古怪的东西掉了出来。
“一堆废品，”布兰卡说，“那真是个好发明。
”“哈哈，”本说，“你们就等着瞧吧。

它是洗衣机的核心零部件。
本举起那部分，看了看底部的洞。
“那个洞是你钻的吗？”查德问。
“是啊，”本说。
“你这个做得不是很好，”查德说。
“只要有用就行了，”本告诉查德。
“你要知道东西也得看上去好才行，”查德说。
接着，本抓起一根软管，把它装入他钻的那个洞里。

新理念英语阅读初中二年级第1册Dirt on my shoe 球鞋上的灰尘Chapter 1 On the TrailJordan and Kaitlyn were hiking on the Rainbow Ravine Trail with their families.As they were walking along, Kaitlyn pointed to Jordan's feet. "Are you sure you want to take those brand-new tennis shoes out here?"she asked.Jordan laughed and said, "They're going to get dirty one day. Come on, let's go!"Jordan and Kaitlyn took off running.They raced to a small canyon. There were colourful bands of sandstone alongside the trail.Jordan and Kaitlyn turned a. corner and stopped so they could catch their breath. Kaitlyn realized that both their families were out of sight.Chapter 2 The CanyonJordan and Kaitlyn climbed into the dry, empty canyon.They turned a corner and looked up. The steep cliffs were bright orange. Large boulders jutted out from the sides of the cliffs."Hello!" Jordan called out."Helloooo! Helloooo!!"the canyon echoed back."It's spooky here," Kaitlyn said. "I wonder if anything has ever lived here.""I think so," Jordan answered. "Millions of years ago, places like this had lots of plants and animals.There might even be fossils here."Jordan and Kaitlyn looked at the ground. They searched around for signs of ancient life."Rocks,rocks, rocks," Jordan said, turning over several."Not one fossilized bone," Kaitlyn said, tossing a rock up the canyon. "But look at your feet!"Jordan looked at his new shoes. They were covered in sand and dirt. "Oh, well" he said.Kaitlyn and Jordan climbed a small hill above the trail. They kept searching for fossils.A few minutes later, Jordan saw his dad looking up at them."Hello up there," his dad shouted."It's time to come back!" Kaitlyn's mum added.Kaitlyn turned over one more rock. "Nope. Nothing," she said.Jordan grabbed a handful of dirt and let it sift through his hand. The dirt landed right on his new shoes.Chapter 3 DinosaursKaitlyn and Jordan walked back to the trail.On the way back, they passed a group of hikers. A ranger was taking the group on a guided walk. The ranger stopped to talk to the group, just as Kaitlyn and Jordan passed by."Millions of years ago," the ranger explained, "there was lots of life up here. But you would never know it now."Jordan looked at Kaitlyn. "See? That's what I told you!" he smiled."In fact," the ranger continued,"we have found fossils up here of large and small dinosaurs."Jordan and Kaitlyn stepped closer to listen."Not all fossils are of animals," the ranger said." There are sea shell and plant fossils up here, too.""But fossils are usually hard to find. There's too much dirt to search through.When most plants and animals die, they break down and become part of the soil.""We should go, Jordan, Kaitlyn said.Jordan nodded, and he and Kaitlyn ran to catch up with their families.Chapter 4 The Paper Cup"Hi there! You're back," said Kaitlyn's mum, smiling."Did you have a good look around?" asked Jordan's dad."Yes, we did,"Jordan answered."Why did we have to come back so quickly?""Because we want to set up camp before dark," Dad replied."We could have found a fossil though," Kaitlyn said.""Maybe we can come back and join a paleontological dig," Jordan's dad suggested."I'd really like that," Jordan said.Jordan and Kaitlyn waited to get into the back seat of the car.Kaitlyn opened the door."You're not going to get in there with all that dirt on your shoes, are you?" Kaitlyn asked Jordan.Jordan looked at his new shoes.They were filthy.He could feel the dirt inside them.Jordan thought for a minute, then he grabbed a paper cup from the back seat of the car.Kaitlyn watched as he took off his shoes and shook the dirt out of both of them into the paper cup."Now I'm ready to get in," Jordan said, smiling at Kaitlyn."What are you going to do with all that dirt?" Kaitlyn asked."It's not just dirt," Jordan responded."I'm going to put it under my microscope at home. Maybe there are things in it we can't see right now. I can't wait to look!"。

新理念《英语阅读》初中三年级第1册Lizzie's hidden message（中文译文）
Beth的母亲是一位护士。
当她上夜班的时候，Beth总是待在奶奶家。
一天夜里，当Beth正在奶奶家做一篇家庭作业作文的时候，她向奶奶请求帮忙。
“奶奶，你能帮我吗？我必须描述一下美国内战之前的美国人的生活。
”
“我最宝贵的财宝就是来自于内战之前的。
”奶奶说。
“真的吗？那它是什么呢？”Beth问。
“我会让你知道的。
”奶奶说。
“它在阁楼上的箱子里。
”
当奶奶掀起箱子盖子的时候，Beth兴奋地注视着。
那个财宝可能是珠宝，她想。
当奶奶拿出一个大的正方形布料的时候，Beth凝视着这个箱子。
它是空的。
“奶奶，财宝呢？”
“这个被子就是那个财宝。
”奶奶边说边小心翼翼地打开这个布料子。
“关于那个被子有什么特别吗？”Beth失望地说。
“这个被子是我的曾祖母制作的，她叫Lizzie, 那时她
15岁。
”奶奶说。
“我是15岁，”Beth说。
“是的，”奶奶说，“你们有着同样的年龄。
”
Beth凑近看那条被子。
“Lizzie肯定有大量的空闲时间，才能做出像这样的一条大的被子。
”Beth说。
奶奶说“Lizzie没有任何空闲时间的，她辛苦地劳动着，因为她是一个奴隶。
”
Beth惊讶地看着她的奶奶。
“你的意思是指她是一个奴隶？”她问。
“Lizzie的家庭为Kentucky（地名）的一个农场主所有，”奶奶说。
“他们必须为那个农场主工作，而且做那个农场主命令他们做的事情。
如果他们劳动不够努力，他们会被惩罚。
甚至他们可能会被卖掉。
”
Beth感到非常难受。
在学校里，她现在正了解关于奴隶制的知识。
但她一直不知道她自己的祖先竟然是一个奴隶。
“给我讲讲关于Lizzie的事情”她说。
“它是一个很长的故事哦，”奶奶回答说。
“上午你要上学，下次你来的时候，我会讲给你听。
”Lizzie的故事
Beth迫不及待地想要听关于Lizzie的更多情况。
所以她去了奶奶过这个周末。
在星期五晚上晚饭之后，奶奶开始给Beth讲关于Lizzie的故事。
“Lizzie出生在1842年。
”奶奶说。
奶奶解释说，Lizzie与她的父母和两个哥哥居住在农场的一个小屋里。
Lizzie的父亲和年龄更大一点的哥哥在田里劳动，采摘玉米，她的母亲和她的弟弟在菜园里劳动。
Lizzie在农场主的屋内工作。
那个农场主不喜欢Lizzie的哥哥，于是给他安排最艰苦的工作。
Lizzie很害怕将来某一天农场主将会伤害她的哥哥，或者把他卖给其他农场主。
“那些奴隶为什么不逃跑呢？”Beth问。
“许多奴隶尝试逃到那些自由的州，”奶奶说。
“但是，绝大多数奴隶被奴隶追捕手或者追踪狗所捕获。
然而，一些奴隶发现了聪明的逃跑的方式。
”
奶奶给Beth讲了关于一个男人的故事，这个男子叫亨利布朗，他躲藏在了一个箱子里，然后把这个箱子从弗吉尼亚的奴隶制州寄到了费城的自由州。
奶奶说，Lizzie也很聪明。
她帮她的哥哥和其他奴隶逃跑。
Beth很好奇，就问“一个15岁大的女奴如何能帮得
了成年奴隶的？”
Lizzie是个女裁缝，奶奶说。
她每天都去那个农场主的房子里，在那里，她为农场主的女儿做漂亮的衣服。
她被允许把小块的剩下布料保存下来，然后她把这些碎料子缝合成小的图案。
然后她把这些小图案缝合在一起制成一个被子。
这些图案都有各自的名称，例如“飞翔的鹅”、“熊掌”、“九宫格”
Beth问“那她是如何帮助奴隶逃跑的？”
奶奶说“Lizzie制作了一个被子。
”
地下铁路
奶奶说，那被子其实是一张地图。
Lizzie把它悬挂在小屋外面的晒衣绳上，那些正沿着地下铁路逃亡的奴隶们就会看到Lizzie的被子地图然后就知道该往哪条路走了。
他们还知道Lizzie的小屋是一个安全屋，因为一条中间带有一个天蓝色的正方形的被子就意味着“安全屋”。
在每一个安全屋，逃亡的奴隶都会被藏起来并被提供食物。
Beth问“地下铁路是什么？它是一列火车吗？”
奶奶说“不，它并不是一个真的火车。
地下铁路是人们对那些安全屋的称呼，这些安全屋从南方的奴隶制州一直通向北方的自由州。
逃亡的奴隶们总是从一个安全屋到另一个安全屋。
Lizzie的被子告诉他们应该走哪一条路才能到达下一个安全屋。
奶奶说：“现在，我累了，明天我将告诉你每一个方块是什么意思。
你可以试着猜猜这个信息。
“
Beth说：“好的，奶奶，晚安。
”她跑开去上床睡觉了。
奶奶给了她很多值得思考的问题。
第二天上午早饭之后，奶奶把Lizzie的被子铺在了厨房的饭桌上。
她解释说“左上角的第一个方格是一个九宫格，它的意思是指田地。
”
“然后，有一棵松树。
第三个正方形是一个熊爪，它的意思是一个小路。
在熊爪的下面，是“飞翔的鹅”。
它是意思是指水。
在右下角的正方形被称为“通往俄亥俄州的公路”。
然后我们看到北极星、枫叶和小木屋。
现在，你猜猜隐藏的信息吧，我呢就把这些碟子收拾
干净了。
第4章Lizzie的隐藏的信息
Beth盯着Lizzie的被子看。
她假象她是一个正在逃亡的奴隶，她尝试着大声说出每一个图案，“田地、小路、松树、水”。
这信息太难了而没法读懂。
当奶奶回来的时候，Beth 请奶奶帮忙了。
奶奶指着每一个图案，说“开始的三个图案是指，走着经过那些田地直到你来到那棵松树为止，然后跟随着那条小路到达河边。
”
Beth说“哦，我明白了”
“接下来，你沿着河水走，直到你到达通往俄亥俄州的那条公路。
然后，跟随着北极星直到你到达那些枫树。
你到达的下一个小屋就是一座安全屋。
”
“你太棒了，Beth。
”奶奶说, “你解读出了Lizzie的信息。
”
Beth问“奶奶，你是如何认识Lizzie的？”
奶奶说：“因为它是一个家庭的故事。
”
“我的奶奶告诉我的，将来某一天，你将把它告诉你孙辈。
但现在你有一个作文要写了，我想要你获得一个“A+”等级。
Beth说：“我会尽力的，奶奶，感谢你跟我分享了Lizzie 的故事。
”。
