The Yo-Yo
The Yo-Yo is a simple toy consisting of a grooved double disk with a string about the center. The player holds the end of the string which unwinds itself as the disk is dropped. Then by a slight jerk on the string, the player causes it to rewind itself, and to reel up back to the hand. Since 1930 it has become a popular toy.

Key words
• Frustrate vt. 挫败；使受挫折 adj. 无益的，无效的 These questions frustrated me... 这些问题让我沮丧。 • Frustrating 令人沮丧的 frustrated 沮丧的 e.g. I’ am very frustrated when hear that we lost the bask etball game . e.g. It’ s a frustrating news that we lost the basketball ga me.
Grammar
• I never lost my wonder at the personality that was Einstein 我一直对爱因斯坦的个性惊叹不已。 • 一个句子里只能有一个主语和谓语,这个句子的主语是I,谓 语是 lost,所以后面的that was einstein是用来修饰the personality的定语从句.
Text
•
As a boy and then as an adult, I never lost my wonder at the personality that was Einstein. He was the only person I knew who had come to terms with himself and the world around him. He knew what he wanted and he wanted only this: to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe and the logic and simplicity in its functioning. He knew there were answers beyond his intellectual reach. But this did not frustrate him. He was content to go as far as he could.
现代大学英语第二版精读2 Unit 4 The man in the water
Translation of Text A水中人穸杰•罗森布赖特就灾难而言，这次灾难虽然可怕，但并非绝无仅有，肯定也不是美国空难史上最严重的一次。
其特别之处在于发生在地面交通高峰时刻，坠落时飞机撞到了一座桥上。
另外一个特别之处就是空难发生的地点——华盛顿，在严冬里突如其来的一阵强风中，钢铁的机身猛烈撞击到钢铁的桥面，把这个布局合理、井然有序的城市，搞得一片混乱。
从华盛顿国家机场起飞后，喷气式飞机一般都像觅食的海鸥一样，会在各个总统纪念碑上空盘旋一阵。
此刻，那架坠落的飞机即是其中的代表。
除了金属与金属之间的冲突，此次空难也是色彩上的视觉冲突---有着“空中花园”之称的蓝绿相间的佛罗里达航空公司的一架客机，坠人了充满了灰色冰块、黑压压的河水中。
毫无疑问，这一切都引人注目，不过，除了人员死亡之外，其他因素都没有什么特别之处，虽说死亡总不是一般事件，但也未必会引起上百万人落泪或关注。
那么这次空难为什么如此震撼人心呢？也许在这次空难中，人们看到的不仅仅是一次机械故障。
也许，人们根本不认为这是人类的一次失败，而是看到了自身品质的某种胜利。
毕竟，这是两种自然力量---恶劣的天气与人的品德之间的冲撞。
上周三，恶劣的天气与以往一样无情，把第90次航班从空中掀了下来。
就在当天下午，人性在摸索中、抗争中挺身而出，对抗死神。
此次事件的四位英雄中，有三位能讲叙自己的事迹。
唐纳德•厄舍和尤金•温莎是美国国家公园巡警的一个直升机的机组成员，他们冒着生命危险一次次地将起落架放入水中救起幸存者。
在电视屏幕他俩并肩而坐，提起他的英勇事迹，他们说当时只是做了自己分内的事情。
28岁的勒尼•斯库特尼克是国会预算办公室的职员，谈起他跳下本将一名受伤的妇女救上岸时，他说：“我从来都没想过自己会这样做。
”他补充“总得有人下水救人。
”他说的是每个英雄都说的活，但此话无论重复多少遍，听者的敬仰丝毫不减。
实际上，没有人要求哪个人非得下水救人，可有人自觉下去了，这正是人们久久不能忘怀这次灾难的原因之一。
