This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it will either produce some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. There can thus be no doubt that time is convertible into money. Let those who think nothing of wasting time remember this; let them remember that an hour misspent is equivalent to the loss of a banknote; and that an hour utilized is tantamount to so much silver or gold; and then they will probably think twice before they give their consent to the loss of any part of their time.1、谚语说：“时间就是金钱。

51. Those Fascinating Northern Lights 迷人的北极光（2016新增）1. At 10:00 p.m. on March 23，1969, the Bowater Power Water Company in Deer Lake, Newfoundland experienced a disturbance on its system. The frequency converter at Comer Brook tripped off, shutting down half of the big paper mill. There was a radio blackout over most of the Atlantic Provinces. And accompanying these activities was a magnificient display of northern lights —boiling up out of the north and hanging in bundles of long rays like draperies across the sky. Ninety-three million miles away, a rather ugly looking sunspot was making its way across the disc of the sun.1. 1969年3月23曰晚上10点，保华特水电公司（the Bowater Power Water Company)位于纽芬兰（Newfoundland)鹿湖的设备系统出现了异常；科纳布鲁克（ComerBrook)的变频器跳间，使得一半的大造纸厂停产；大西洋沿岸各省的无线电中断。

If our time is usefully employed,it will either produce some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. There can thus be no doubt that time is convertible into money. Let those who think nothing of wasting time remember this; let them remember that an hour misspent is equivalent to the loss of a banknote; and that an hour utilized is tantamount to so much silver or gold; and then they will probably think twice before they give their consent to the loss of any part of their time.1．谚语说：“时间就是金钱。

跳过每一段英文原文，只通篇看下“带有英文”的中文部分…，是不是感觉清楚了课文大致要说的内容？熟悉中文意思，在考试中也是很有帮助的，特别是在回答阅读类的选择题时，如果它恰好又是你在此读过的一篇课文，你一定会用最短的时间，找到正确的答案。
考试的题量可不小，要在此处抢得先机。
过段时间，再来温习下吧。
21.And All That Jazz关乎爵士乐(2016版新增)1.Have you ever heard the expression（说法、表达）, —and all that Jazz”？When people say that to day, it’s slang which means much the same thing as et cetera （等等）or “and so forth（等等）.” You may use it yourself. Jazz, it seems, has had quite a few（相当多）meanings. Through the history （历史）of jazz, it has meant many different kinds of music to many different people.1.你听过这种说法吗，“像爵士乐一般，诸如此类的东西”？现在人们把它用作俚语，意思和“等等”，“以此类推”类似。

22The Germanic Languages 日耳曼语系1. Most people have heard of the Tower of Babel<巴别塔> story in the Bible<圣经>. According to this story, long ago all people spoke the same ter, however, they were punished<惩罚，处罚> by speaking a great number of different tongues<语言>. Today, there are literally<照字面意义，逐字地> thousands of different languages (defined as mutually<相互地> unintelligible<难解的> tongues) around the world, though many are related to one another. Indeed, the two largest language families, the Indo-European (the language family with the largest number of speakers) and Sino-Tibetan (containing the Chinese languages, Thai, Vietnamese, and Tibetan) include hundreds of languages with over half the world's population.1. 大多数的人都听过圣经中巴别塔的故事。
故事称很久以前，人们说的是同一种语言。
但是，后来人们遭受惩罚，而开始说各种不同的语言。
今天，全世界真是有好几千种不同的语言（此处指的是彼此无法相通的语言），虽然其中语言彼此都有所关联。
的确，这两个最大的语系，印欧语系（最多人使用的语系）和汉藏语系（包括华语、泰语、越语和西藏语），涵盖了几百种不同的语言，使用者也超过了全世界半数的人口。
2. Because there are so many languages within the above two super-categories<种类，类别> of language families,linguists<语言学家> have further divided these linguistically<语言上地，语言学上地> rich and geographically<地理上地>diverse<不同的> families into sub-groups<次级语系>, one of which, the Germanic language group, has the second-largest number of speakers (Chinese being first). Within this group of over 500,000,000 speakers is the world's foremost<最重要的> international language, English, foremost in terms of<根据，就…而言> its geographic spread and number of second-language users. German, spoken by just over 100,000,000 people, is one of the world's ten-largest languages in terms of population. As English and German speakers constitute<构成> the majorities in several of the world's most economically, militarily, and technologically developed countries, it is important to be familiar with<熟悉> this particular language grouping.2.就因为有太多的语言涵盖于上述的两个超级语系，语言学家就进一步的把这两种语言丰富、地理涵盖范围非常广的语系再区分为几种不同的次级语系，其中的一个就是日耳曼语系，使用这个语系的人数在所有语系中排名第二位（第一位为华语）。
在这个有5亿多人口使用的语系中，包括了世界最重要的国际语言，那就是英语。
英语之所以称得上是最重要的语言乃因使用的地区很广，且把英语当作第二种语言使用的人口亦很多。
有1亿多人说德语，故就人口而言，德语是世界十大语言之一。
由于使用英语和德语的人口在几个经济、军事和科技先进的国家中占绝大比例，因此熟悉日耳曼语系的来龙去脉是很重要的。
3. Linguists further divide the Germanic languages into three groups, two extant<现存的> and one extinct<灭绝的>. East Germanic languages are no longer spoken; Gothic<歌德语> is an example of this small and historic grouping. Afrikaans, Dutch, English, Flemish, and German are the more important languages within the West Germanic grouping. The Scandinavian languages of Danish<丹麦语>, Icelandic<冰岛的>, Norwegian<挪威语>, and Swedish<瑞典语> comprise<包含，由…组成>the North Germanic grouping. Though these languages cannot be easily understood among their different speakers, the similarities invocabulary<词汇> are striking<显著的，惊人的>.3.语言学家又进一步地把日耳曼语系细分成3个支系，其中两个支系至今仍然存在，另１个支系，也就是东日尔曼语，因无人使用而已不复存在。
歌德语就属于这种使用者不多但历史悠久的语系。
南非荷兰语、荷兰语、英语、佛兰芝语、及德语则属西日耳曼语的几个重要语言。
丹麦语、冰岛语、挪威语及瑞典语等北欧语系则属北日耳曼语系。
虽然这些不同语言使用者彼此不易沟通，不过词汇的雷同处却很明显。
4. Take for example the two largest languages with this group, English and German. The word Haus in German is house in English, with nearly the same pronunciation. Some names of German family members are instantly<马上，立刻> recognizable<可识别的> to English listeners and readers: Mutter, Bruder, and Onkel for the English mother, brother, and uncle (all German nouns are capitalized<大写> in print). Other German family members are easily learned: Vater, Schwester, and Tante for the English father, sister, and aunt. Thus, those who know English and want to study German find their first year of learning vocabulary to be relatively easy. The same is true, of course, for those who want to learn Dutch or Danish from an English or German background; these many similarities are due to the single common parent language of all the Germanic tongues, even though this "grandfather" language no longer exists.4.就拿日耳曼语系中英语及德语两大语言来说吧，德文的Haus 就是英文的house，发音几乎完全相同。
一些德语家庭成员的称呼如：Mutter,Bruder和Onkel,懂英语的人（English listeners and readers）很快地就知道这些字指的就是mother,bother 和uncle（德文的名词一律大写）。
其它有关家庭成员名称的德语说法也很容易学：像Vater,Schwester 和Tante 在英文里指的就是father,sister和aunt。
因此懂英语而想学德语的人，会发现初学词汇的第一年是很容易的一件事。
当然，具有英语和德语背景的人要学丹麦语和荷兰语也同样是件易事。
这些相似处乃因所有日耳曼语系皆源自共同的母语，尽管这个“爷爷级”的语言已不复存。
5. Speakers and writers of the Germanic languages account for a great deal of<很多，许多> the world's output<产品> in everything from economics to literature to military to science and technology. Hardly an aspect of modern life does not benefit from the contributions made by those using these languages, as in the Internet, Hollywood entertainment, Dutch (Phillips) and Scandinavian consumer goods design (Ericsson, maker of cellular phones, is a Swedish company, as are Volvo and Saab),and even the Nobel prizes (awarded<颁发> by both Norwegian and Swedish institutes). More than one-third of the world's economic production originates in these countries, too.5.全球举凡经济、文学、军事乃至科技等方面的产品，有很多都是使用日耳曼语系的人所生产的。
