Jumanji is a story for children about a very strange game—a game that becomes far too real and frightening for the players. It was a story by Chris Van Allsburg, which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams. The story begins in 1869 in New Hampshire, America. Two young brothers bury a box under some trees. A hundred years later, in 1969, a boy, Alan Panish, finds the box and takes it home. He’ s unhappy that his father may want to send him to a boarding school(寄宿学校). Alan’ s friend Sarah arrives, and they open the box. Inside is a board game. At the start of the game, some words appear: “ Do you want to leave the world behind and go back to the past? Then this is the game for you. “ Suddenly Alan finds that he is disappearing into the game. The story has a deep meaning. Through his adventures, Alan learns something important—if you confront(面对)your fears, your problems will go away. Alan turns to face Van Pelt, the hunter who is trying to kill him. In doing so, he completes the game and returns to reality. Then he finds that his father is not going to send him to boarding school after all. In Jumanji, time is “elastic“. The film director Stephen Spielberg’ s Back to the Future also state time in the same way. Top scientists even tell us now that time travel is theoretically (理论上) possible!

He saw the old lady and her car on the side of the road. He could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her car and got out. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. He didn’ t look safe. He looked poor and hungry. He said “I’m here to help you, ma’ am. My name is Bryan Anderson. “ All she had was a flat tyre(瘪胎) , but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan changed the tyre and she couldn’ t thank him enough for the help. Then, the lady asked how much she owed him. She had already imagined all the terrible things that could have happened. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the help they needed. A few miles down the road, the lady saw a small caff. She went in. The waitress came over with a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn ’ t erase. She noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕) , but she never let her aches be noticed. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then, she remembered Bryan. After her meal, the lady paid with a one hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change, but when she came back, she noticed something written on the napkin (餐巾纸) with the words saying: “You don’t owe me anything. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’ m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you. “ Under the napkin were four more $ 100 bills. That night when the waitress got home, she was thinking about what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed the money with the baby due next month? As she lay sleeping next to her husband, she whispered soft and low, “Everything’ s going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.

Americans use many expressions with the word “ dog“. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.【B1】______However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, “to lead a dog’ s life“ , describes a person who has an unhappy existence. Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.【B2】______They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog. 【B3】______This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things. 【B4】______People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite. Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. 【B5】______ [A] Still, people say every dog has its day. [B] We do not want it to rain cats and dogs. [C]Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. [D]Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people. [E]There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore. [F]That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. [G] They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.

W: You know...what I chose to talk about is British history. M: Really? That is a big topic. W: Yes. There are so many things to cover. I just can’ t see how to do it in a three-minute speech.

Sara: You have no idea! I woke up late because I didn’ t hear my alarm... then I realized I’ d forgotten to pick up my suit from the dry cleaner’ s. Tony: So you rushed out of the apartment to get your suit, and... ? Sara: I closed the door without taking my keys! Tony: So, you were locked out of your apartment?

How long did the speaker and his family live in the downtown apartment?M: Right! Next, I’ll tell you something about my childhood. Although we have always lived in the same city, my family and I moved a lot since I was old enough to remember. We don’ t have our own house. We have always rented them. For eight years, we lived downtown in a large 10-story building with no less than 30 apartments in it. The conditions were very good. But on the other hand, we had a lot of problems. Imagine how difficult and colorless life was for a nine-year-old boy, full of life, having no place to play freely. No sun, no open air, no football games. School’ s from 7: 30 to noon and the afternoon’ s spent in a room studying, reading, or playing indoor games with a friend or two. No outdoor activities because the streets were too dangerous, and the parents much too afraid to let a young boy go out. How I wished for the weekends to come. I could then burst out with joy and happiness when we went out for a visit to some friends or relatives, a picnic, or even a car ride. I think that’ s one of the reasons why I became such a strong nature lover. 8 years. 10 years. 30 years.

When mentioning Korea, people might come up with a string of things, such as kimchi (泡菜) , cosmetics and beautiful girls. In fact, Korea is also famous for hand-made clothes. In Korea, you can get a suit that is well made to your measure within a couple of days but be careful about the size because Korean sizes are often a little small, especially to westerners. Even a “large“ size T-shirt bought in Korea can be too small for an American! Korean clothes are made of various kinds of silk and other materials. You can also buy hand-made traditional clothes in Korea. Those traditional Korean clothes have quite a long history which can be found in ancient wall paintings or on tombs. “ Hanbok“ (韩服) can be the best representative of Korean culture. Today han-bok is still worn during formal occasions. Hanbok consists of two parts. “Jeogori“ (赤古里) , the top part, is blouse and has long sleeves. For the bottom part, women wear “Chima“ (高腰背心裙) , a kind of skirt, and men wear “Paji“ (巴基) , like trousers. White is the color for common people while during festivals or on special days, upper classes will wear clothes in bright colors to indicate their social status. Accessories like jewelry and head-dresses complete traditional Korean clothes. Traditional Korean clothes favor soft flowing lines to hide the body’ s shape representing the pursuit for beauty and elegance of Korean people. The designs of various forms of Hanbok represent the rich culture of Korea.
