16、ink shy students can't be good at giving speeches. These are typical (典型的)examples of stereotypes.Stereotypes make people form a wrong opinion about others at first sight. In fact, it takes a lot more than just looking at a person to know and understand him or her. The following is my story.One

17、day, it was snowing, but not heavily. Before class, I collected all the exercise books and sent them to the teachers' office. The exercise books looked piles in my arms, so I could hardly see the ground. Suddenly, I slipped over ( 滑倒)and dropped all the exercise books I was carrying.I tried to s

24、rank. It is a true experience of a teenager in wartime (World War l , 19391945) and it has also become a symbol of the victory of the human spirit.Here's one of Anne's diaries.Friday, I0 September, 1943Dear Kitty,Every time I write to you something special seems to have happened, but they ar

25、e more often unpleasant than pleasant things. However, now there is something wonderful going on. Last Wednesday evening, 8 September, we sat around listening to the seven o'clock news and the first thing we heard was: "Here follows the best news of the whole war. Italy has capitulated!&quo

26、t; Italy's unconditional surrender! The Dutch program from England began at quarter past eight. "Listeners, an hour ago, I had just finished writing the chronicle of the day when the wonderful news of Italy's capitulation came in. I can tell you that I have never deposited my notes in t

27、he wastepaper basket with such joy!" "God Save the King," the American national anthem, and the "Internationale" were played. As always, the Dutch program was uplifting, but not too optimistic.Still we have troubles, tOOl it's about Mr. Koophuis. As you know, we are all

28、very fond of him, he is always cheerful and amazingly brave, although he is never well, has a lot of pain, and is not allowed to eat much or do much walking. "When Mr. Koophuis enters, the sun begins to shine," Mummy said just recently, and she is quite right. Now he has had to go into the

29、 hospital for a very unpleasant abdominal operation and will have to stay there for at least four weeks. You really ought to have seen how he said good-bye to us just as usual-he might have simply been going out to do a bit of shopping.Yours, AnneNew words :1. capitulate v. to stop resisting an enem

33、fraid of his operation.CHave you ever wondered how we know the things that we know? How do we know,for example, that the stars are really huge balls of fire like the Sun and very far away? And how do we know that the Earth is a smaller ball turning round one of those stars, the Sun?The key to these

34、questions is "evidence", which means the facts, signs or objects that make you believe something is true.Sometimes evidence means actually( 實(shí)際上)seeing (or hearing, feeling, smelling.)that something is true. Astronauts have travelled far enough from the Earth to see with their own eyes that

35、 it is round. Sometimes our eyes need help. The "evening star" looks like a bright twinkle in the sky,but with a telescope( 望遠(yuǎn)鏡)you can see that it is a beautiful ball. Something that you learn by direct seeing(or hearing or feeling. ) is called an observation.Often evidence isn't just

36、 observation on its own, but observation always hides at the back of it. If there's been a murder, often nobody(except the murderer and the dead person!)actually observed it. But detectives can gather together lots of other observations which may all point towards the suspect. If a person's

37、fingerprints match those found on a knife, this is evidence that he touched it. It doesn't prove that he did the murder, but it can help when it's joined up with lots of other evidence.Prediction(預(yù)測(cè))helps to look for evidence. Scientists make a guess about what might be true. For example, if

38、 the world is really round, we can predict that any of us, going on and on in the same direction, should eventually find ourselves back where we started.People sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside, but not all the inside feelings are real evidence.What can we do about all this

39、? When somebody tells you something that sounds possible, think to yourself:"Is there any evidence for that?"And, next time somebody tells you that something is true, why not say to them:"What kind of evidence is there for that?"Remember, always think carefully before you believe

40、 a word.()32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. What you see directly is real evidence.B. Prediction helps to prove something if it is true.C. People should always believe their inside feelings.D. Astronauts find the Earth is round with a telescope.()33. Why does the writer

41、use the example of a detective in Paragraph 4?A; To explain what prediction is. B. To tell what observation is called.C. To introduce how detectives work. D To prove evicloneo is not just observation ()34. The underlined word "eventually" in Paragraph 5 meansA. finally B. probablyC. comple

Preparing too much before travellingSome people, especially females, like to travel as if starting a new life. Se

51、veral weeks before the trip, they would be busy shopping for new dresses, better sunglasses and best-selling books. They would rather fill their travelling bags up with all fashionable things. Just travelling? Attending a fashion show more like it. They care more about their appearance than the sigh

52、ts they see during the trip.2. Following other travellers blindlyThey can't stop shopping for objects they would never normally buy and would certainly never use. For example, we can find a group of travellers "getting ahead" to buy "Christmas" presents even in summer.3. Repl
