足夠的熱量來保持健康，很快就會(huì)感到疲乏。開車回家時(shí)，王鵬覺得又有了希望。也許寫個(gè)新的標(biāo)牌、打點(diǎn)折，能夠幫他贏回顧客！于是他寫下了他的標(biāo)牌：“想保持苗條、健康又精力旺盛嗎？到這里來用餐吧！今天打折！我們的食物能夠給您提供一整天所需的熱量！”這兩家餐館之間的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)開始了！COMEANDEATHERE(2)Aweeklater,WangPeng'srestaurantwasnearlyfullandhefelthappier.Perhapshewouldbeabletoearnhislivingafterallandnothavetoclosehisrestaurant.Hedidnotlookforwardtobeingindebtbecausehisrestaurantwasnolongerpopular.HesmiledashewelcomedsomecustomerswarmlyatthedoorbutthesmilelefthisfacewhenhesawYongHuiwalkingin.Shedidnotlookhappybutglaredathim."MayIaskwhatyouweredoinginmyrestauranttheotherday?IthoughtyouwereanewcustomerandnowIknowthatyouonlycametospyonmeandmymenu,"sheshouted."Pleaseexcuseme,"hecalmlyexplained,"Iwantedtoknowwhereallmycustomershadgonelastweek.Ifollowedoneofthemandfoundtheminyourrestaurant.Idon'twanttoupsetyou,butIfoundyourmenusolimitedthatIstoppedworryingandstartedadvertisingthebenefitsofmyfood.Whydon'tyousitdownandtryameal?"YongHuiagreedtostayandsoontheywerebothenjoyingdumplingsandbreastofchickencookedwithgarlic.Whentheywereservedtheicecream,YongHuibegantolookill."Ifeelsickwithallthisfatandheavyfood,"shesaid,"Imissmyvegetablesandfruit."WangPengwasenjoyingasecondplateofdumplingssohesighed."Yes,"headded,"andIwouldmissmydumplingsandfattypork.Don'tyougettiredquickly?""Well,Idohavetorestalot,"admittedYongHui."Butdon'tyouthinkitwouldbebetterifyouwereabitthinner?I’msureyou'dfeelmuchhealthier."Theybegantotalkaboutmenusandbalanceddiets."Accordingtomyresearch,neitheryourrestaurantnormineoffersabalanceddiet,"explainedWangPeng."Idon'tofferenoughfibreandyoudon'tofferenoughbody-buildingandenergy-givingfood.Perhapsweoughttocombineourideasandprovideabalancedmenuwithfoodfullofenergyandfibre."Sothatiswhattheydid.Theyservedrawvegetableswiththehamburgersandboiledthepotatoesratherthanfryingthem.Theyservedfreshfruitwiththeicecream.Inthiswaytheycutdownthefatandincreasedthefibreinthemeal.Theirbalanceddietsbecame-suchasuccessthatbeforelongWangPengbecameslimmerandYongHuiputonmoreweight.Aftersometimethetwofoundthattheirbusinesscooperationhadturnedintoapersonalone.Finallytheygotmarriedandlivedhappilyeverafter!到這里來用餐吧（2）一周后，王鵬的餐館幾乎坐滿了人，他感到高興些了。也許他仍然能夠謀生，而不至于關(guān)閉自己的餐館。他不希望由于餐館不受歡迎而負(fù)債。他微笑地站在門口熱情地迎接他的客人。但他一見到雍慧走進(jìn)來，臉上的笑容馬上就消失了。雍慧瞪著他，看上去不太高興。“請(qǐng)問你那天到我餐館里來干什么？”她大聲問道，“我本來以為你是一位新顧客，現(xiàn)在我才發(fā)現(xiàn)你只是過來打探我和我的菜譜的?！蓖貔i心平氣和地解釋說，“很對(duì)不起，上周我想知道我的顧客是上哪兒吃飯去了。我并不想讓你心煩，不過我發(fā)現(xiàn)你的菜譜上的菜太少了，所以我也就不著急了，我也開始宣傳我餐館食物的好處。你為什么不坐下吃頓飯呢？”雍慧同意留下來。沒過一會(huì)，他們兩人就津津有味地吃起餃子和蒜蓉及胸。當(dāng)要吃冰激凌時(shí)，雍慧開始感到不舒服了。她說，“吃了這么多油膩的、難消化的食物，我都覺得惡心了。我想吃我的蔬菜和水果?！边@時(shí)候，王鵬正在吃第二盤餃子，他嘆了一口氣，說道，“同樣地，（如果在你的餐館）我還想吃我的餃子和肥肉呢。你不覺得自己很容易疲乏么？”“是的，我的確經(jīng)常需要休息；”雍慧承認(rèn)了，“不過，難道你不認(rèn)為你瘦一點(diǎn)更好么？我相信，那樣你會(huì)覺得更健康些?！彼麄冮_始談?wù)摬俗V和平衡膳食的問題。王鵬解釋道，“我的研究表明，你我兩家所提供的都不是平衡膳食。我沒有提供足夠的纖維食物，而你提供的食物沒有足夠的營(yíng)養(yǎng)和熱量。也許我們應(yīng)該把我們的想法綜合起來，作出一份富于營(yíng)養(yǎng)、熱量和纖維的平衡食譜。”于是，他們就照此做了。他們用生蔬菜配漢堡包，煮土豆不是油炸土豆，還拿新鮮水果配上冰激凌。這樣，他們減少了飯菜中的脂肪含量，增加了纖維素。他們的平衡食譜非常有效，王鵬很快就瘦了，而雍慧卻胖了，過了不久，這兩個(gè)人發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們生意上的合作變成了私人的合作了。最后，他們結(jié)了婚，過上了幸福美滿的生活。必修3Unit3第三單元TheMillionPoundBankNoteTHEMILLIONPOUNDBANKNOTE百萬英鎊ActI,Scene3NARRATOR:Itisthesummerof1903.Twooldandwealthybrothers,RoderickandOliver,havemadeabet.OliverbelievesthatwithamillionpoundbanknoteamancouldsurviveamonthinLondon.HisbrotherRoderickdoubtsit.Atthismoment,theyseeapennilessyoungmanwanderingonthepavementoutsidetheirhouse.ItisHenryAdams,anAmericanbusinessman,whoislostinLondonanddoesnotknowwhatheshoulddo.RODERICK:Youngman,wouldyoustepinsideamoment,please?HENRY:Who?Me,sir?RODERICK:Yes,you.OLIVER:Throughthefrontdooronyourleft.HENRY:(Aservantopensadoor)Thanks.SERVANT:Goodmorning,sir.Wouldyoupleasecomein?Permitmetoleadtheway,sir.OLIVER:(Henryenters)Thankyou,James.Thatwillbeall.RODERICK:Howdoyoudo,Mr...er...?HENRY:Adams.HenryAdams.OLIVER:Comeandsitdown,MrAdams.HENRY:Thankyou.RODERICK:You'reanAmerican?HENRY:That'sright,fromSanFrancisco.RODERICK:HowwelldoyouknowLondon?HENRY:Notatall,it'smyfirsttriphere.RODERICK:Iwonder,MrAdams,ifyou'dmindusaskingafewquestions.HENRY:Notatall.Gorightahead.RODERICK:Mayweaskwhatyou'redoinginthiscountryandwhatyourplansare?HENRY:Well,Ican'tsaythatIhaveanyplans.I'mhopingtofindwork.Asamatteroffact,IlandedinBritainbyaccident.OLIVER:Howisthatpossible?HENRY:Well,yousee,backhomeIhadmyownboat.Aboutamonthago,Iwassailingoutofthebay...(hiseyesstareatwhatisleftofthebrother'sdinnerontable)OLIVER:Well,goon.HENRY:Oh,yes.Well,towardsnightfallIfoundmyselfcarriedouttoseabyastrongwind.Itwasallmyfault.Ididn'tknowwhetherIcouldsurviveuntilmorning.ThenextmorningI'djustaboutgivenmyselfupforlostwhenIwasspottedbyaship.OLIVER:AnditwastheshipthatbroughtyoutoEngland.HENRY:Yes.ThefactisthatIearnedmypassagebyworkingasanunpaidhand,whichaccountsformyappearance.IwenttotheAmericanembassytoseekhelp,but...(Thebrotherssmileateachother.)RODERICK:Well,youmustn'tworryaboutthat.It'sanadvantage.HENRY:I'mafraidIdon'tquitefollowyou,sir.RODERICK:Tellus,MrAdams,whatsortofworkdidyoudoinAmerica?HENRY:Iworkedforaminingcompany.Couldyouoffermesomekindofw

美國(guó)大使館求助，但是……（兄弟倆相顧而笑）。羅德里克：嗯，這一點(diǎn)你倒不必?fù)?dān)心，這還是優(yōu)點(diǎn)呢。亨利：對(duì)不起，先生，你的話我沒有聽懂。奧利弗：亞當(dāng)斯先生，請(qǐng)你告訴我們，你在美國(guó)干哪個(gè)行當(dāng)？亨利：我在一家礦業(yè)公司工作。你們能不能給我提供一份工作呢？羅德里克：耐心點(diǎn)兒，亞當(dāng)斯先生，如果你不介意，我能不能問問，你手頭兒有多少錢？亨利：嗯，老實(shí)說，我一分錢都沒有了。奧利弗：（高興地）老兄，真走運(yùn)！真有運(yùn)氣?。ü钠鹫苼恚┖嗬亨牛@對(duì)你們來說可能是運(yùn)氣，但對(duì)我來說可不是。事實(shí)上，正好相反。如果你們認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)笑話，我可不覺得很好笑。（亨利起身準(zhǔn)備走）好了，請(qǐng)?jiān)彛蚁胛以撋下妨?。羅德里克：亞當(dāng)斯先生，請(qǐng)別走。你千萬不要以為我們不在意你的感受。奧利弗，把信給他。奧利弗：是，那封信。（從桌上把信拿起來，像送禮品一樣遞給亨利）給你信。亨利：（小心翼翼地接過信）是給我嗎？羅德里克：是給你的。（亨利要拆信）啊，別拆，你不要拆，現(xiàn)在不是時(shí)候，到兩點(diǎn)鐘你才能打開。亨利：噢，這真可笑。羅德里克：這不可笑，這里邊有錢呢。（叫仆人）詹姆斯？亨利：噢，不，我不需要你們的施舍，我只要一份老老實(shí)實(shí)的工作。羅德里克：我們知道你工作是很賣力的，這正是我們給你這封信的原因。詹姆斯，請(qǐng)送亞當(dāng)斯先生出去。奧利弗：祝你好運(yùn)，亞當(dāng)斯先生。亨利：嗯，怎么不給我講講，這究竟是什么回事呢？羅德里克：你很快就會(huì)明白的，（看看鐘）一個(gè)半小時(shí)以后。仆人：請(qǐng)這邊走，先生。羅德里克：亞當(dāng)斯先生，兩點(diǎn)鐘以前不要拆信，答應(yīng)嗎？亨利：答應(yīng)，謝謝。再見！——UsingLanguage——第一幕，第4場(chǎng)（在餐館外邊，亨利看了看那封信的信封，沒有打開，然后決定走進(jìn)餐館。他在靠近前邊窗戶的一張桌子旁坐了下來）店主：（看看亨利的那幅窮酸相）那張桌子有人訂了。請(qǐng)到這邊來。（對(duì)服務(wù)員）霍勒斯，來等先生點(diǎn)菜。亨利：（坐定之后，把信放在桌上）我要火腿加雞蛋，還來一塊大牛排，要特厚的。我還要一杯咖啡，一份菠蘿甜點(diǎn)。服務(wù)員：好的，先生。恐怕這得花費(fèi)一大筆錢。亨利：我明白。我還要一大杯啤酒。服務(wù)員：行。（服務(wù)員離開了，很快把所有的食物端上來）女老板：天哪！你看他，吃起東西來就像頭狼。店主：瞧著吧，看他是不是像狼一樣機(jī)靈？亨利：（剛吃完了所有的東西）喂，服務(wù)員。（服務(wù)員過來了）同樣的東西請(qǐng)?jiān)賮硪环?，呃，再來一大杯啤酒。服?wù)員：每樣?xùn)|西都再來一份嗎？亨利：是，沒錯(cuò)。（看著服務(wù)員臉上的神色）有什么不對(duì)嗎？服務(wù)員：不，沒什么不對(duì)。（對(duì)店主）他再要一份同樣的食物。店主：嗯，許多美國(guó)人喜歡吃得多，這是大家都知道的。哦，我們得冒點(diǎn)兒風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。去吧，讓他吃吧。服務(wù)員：（飯后念賬單）好了。兩份火腿家雞蛋，兩份特厚的牛排，兩大杯啤酒，兩杯咖啡和兩份甜點(diǎn)。亨利：（望著墻上的掛鐘）請(qǐng)等幾分鐘號(hào)碼？服務(wù)員：（很不耐煩地）還等什么？店主：霍勒斯，行啦，這兒由我來照應(yīng)。亨利：（對(duì)店主）這餐飯吃得真棒。從生活中如此簡(jiǎn)單的東西之中竟能得到這么大的樂趣，真是令人吃驚，特別是當(dāng)你暫時(shí)吃不到這些東西的時(shí)候。店主：是的，很有意思。如果你現(xiàn)在能付賬的話，我就可以去照顧別的顧客了。亨利：（又望著墻上的掛鐘）好了，我看兩點(diǎn)鐘到了。（他把信封拆開，那車一張百萬英鎊的鈔票。亨利感到吃驚，店主和服務(wù)員驚呆了）很抱歉，我……我……我沒有小一點(diǎn)兒的鈔票。店主：（還在發(fā)呆，而且有點(diǎn)兒緊張）好……嗯……，等一會(huì)兒?，敿?，來瞧瞧！（女老板尖叫起來，其他顧客都望著她，于是，她用手捂住了嘴巴）你看這張鈔票是真的嗎？女老板：天哪，我不知道。我真不知道。店主：嗯，我確實(shí)聽說過英格蘭銀行發(fā)行了兩張這樣面值的鈔票……不管怎樣，我覺得這不可能是假鈔。這么大面值的鈔票會(huì)特別引人注意的。小偷可不想引起別人的注意。女老板：但是他穿得破破爛爛的！店主：也許他十一哥非常怪異而富有的人。（如夢(mèng)初醒似的）啊，對(duì)了，一定是這樣的。女老板：（在她丈夫的手臂上打了一下）是你把他帶到餐廳后面去的，還不馬上去看看他。店主：（對(duì)亨利）先生，對(duì)不起，非常對(duì)不起，這張鈔票我們找不開。亨利：而我身上就只帶了這張鈔票。店主：哎呀，先生，請(qǐng)別著急，一點(diǎn)兒也沒關(guān)系。我們非常高興你能走進(jìn)我們這家小吃店。先生，真的，我希望您隨時(shí)光臨。亨利：這，你太好了。店主：我太好了？不，先生，是您太好了。您什么時(shí)候想來就來，想吃什么就吃什么。您就是在這兒坐一下也是我們莫大的榮幸！至于說賬單嘛，先生，請(qǐng)把它忘了吧。亨利：忘了它？喔……，那就太謝謝了。你太好了。店主：啊，先生，該是我們謝謝您呢。先生，我從心底里感謝您。（當(dāng)亨利離開的時(shí)候，店主、女老板和服務(wù)員都一齊向他鞠躬）必修3Unit4第四單元Astronomy:thescienceofthestarsHOWLIFEBEGANONTHEEARTH地球上生命的起源Nooneknowsexactlyhowtheearthbegan,asithappenedsolongago.However,accordingtoawidelyacceptedtheory,theuniversebeganwitha"BigBang"thatthrewmatterinalldirections.Afterthat,atomsbegantoformandcombinetocreatestarsandotherbodies.Forseveralbillionyearsafterthe"BigBang",theearthwasstilljustacloudofdust.Whatitwastobecomewasuncertainuntilbetween4.5and3.8billionyearsagowhenthedustsettledintoasolidglobe.Theearthbecamesoviolentthatitwasnotclearwhethertheshapewouldlastornot.Itexplodedloudlywithfireandrock.Theywereintimetoproducecarbon,nitrogen,watervapourandothergases,whichweretomaketheearth'satmosphere.Whatisevenmoreimportantisthatastheearthcooleddown,waterbegantoappearonitssurface.WaterhadalsoappearedonotherplanetslikeMarsbut,unliketheearth,ithaddisappearedlater.Itwasnotimmediatelyobviousthatwaterwastobefundamentaltothedevelopmentoflife.Whatmanyscientistsbelieveisthatthecontinuedpresenceofwaterallowedtheearthtodissolveharmfulgasesandacidsintotheoceansandseas.Thisproducedachainreaction,whichmadeitpossibleforlifetodevelop.Manymillionsofyearslater,thefirstextremelysmallplantsbegantoappearonthesurfaceofthewater.Theymultipliedandfilledtheoceansandseaswithoxygen,whichencouragedthelaterdevelopmentofearlyshellfishandallsortsoffish.Next,greenplantsbegantogrowonland.Theywerefollowedintimebylandanimals.Somewereinsects.Others,calledamphibians,wereabletoliveonlandaswellasinthewater.Laterwhentheplantsgrewintoforests,reptilesappearedforthefirsttime.Theyproducedyoungenerallybylayingeggs.Afterthat,somehugeanimals,calleddinosaurs,developed.Theylaideggstooandexistedontheearthformorethan140millionyears.However,65millionyearsagotheageofthedinosaursended.Whytheysuddenlydisappearedstillremainsamystery.Thisdisappearancemadepossibletheriseofmammalsontheearth.Theseanimalsweredifferentfromalllifeformsinthepast,becausetheygavebirthtoyoungbabyanimalsandproducedmilktofeedthem.Finallyabout2.6millionyearsagosomesmallcleveranimals,nowwithhandsandfeet,appearedandspreadallovertheearth.Thustheyhave,intheirturn,becomethemostimportantanimalsontheplanet.Buttheyarenotlookingaftertheearthverywell.Theyareputtingtoomuchcarbondioxideintotheatmosphere,whichpreventsheatfromescapingfromtheearthintospace.Asaresul
