夜是静寂的，柔和的。从对面我听呸见一点声音。香港似乎闭了它的大口。介是当我注意到那一座光芒万丈的星的山的时候，我又仿佛听见那许多灯光的私语了。因为船的移动。灯光也似乎移动起来。而且电车汽车上的灯也在飞跑。我看见它们时明时暗，就像人在眨眼。或者像它们在追逐，在说话。我的视觉和听觉混合起来。我仿佛在用眼睛听了。那一座星的山并不是沉默的，在那里正奏着伟大的交响乐。

They are superstitions attached to numbers; even those ancient Greeks

believed that all numbers and their multiple have some mystical significance. 【M1】______

Those numbers between 1 and 13 were on particular to have a powerful 【M2】______

influence over the affairs of men.

For example, it is commonly said that luck, good or bad, comes in threes;

if an accident happens, two more of the same kind may be expected soon

shortly afterwards. The arrival of a letter will be followed by two others 【M3】______

within a certain period.

Another belief involving the number three has that it is unlucky to light 【M4】______

three cigarettes from the one match. If this happens, the bad luck that goes

with the deed falls upon the person which cigarette was the last to be lit. 【M5】______

the ill-omen linked to the lighting of three things from one match or candle

goes to at least the 17(上标)century and probably earlier It was believed that 【M6】______

three candles alight at the same time would be sum to bring good luck; 【M7】______

one, two, or four, were permissible, and never just three. 【M8】______

Seven was another significant number, usually regarded as a

bringer of good luck. The ancient astrologers believed that the universe

was governed by seven planets; students of Shakespeare will recall that

life of man was divided into seven ages. Seven horseshoes nailed to

a house will protect it away all evils. Nine is usually thought of as 【M9】______

a lucky number because it is the product of three time three. It was 【M10】______

much used by the Anglo Saxons in their charms for healing.

Most people complain of fortune, few of nature; and the kinder they think the latter has been to them, the more they murmur at what they call the injustice of the former.

Why have not I the riches, the rank, the power, of such and such, is the common expostulation with fortune; but why have not I the merit, the talents, the wit, or the beauty, of such and such others, is a reproach rarely or never made to nature.

The truth is, that nature, seldom profuse, and seldom niggardly, has distributed her gifts more equally than she is generally supposed to have done. Education and situation make the great difference. Culture improves, and occasions elicit, natural talents. I made no doubt but that there are potentially, if I may use that pedantic word, many Bacons, Lockes, Newtons, Caesars, Cromwells, and Marlboroughs at the ploughtail, behind counters, and, perhaps, even among the nobility; but the soil must be cultivated, and the season favourable, for the fruit to have all its spirit and flavour.

Children today spend more time stare at computer and 【1】______

TV screens both at school and at home. Scientific 【2】______

studies show an epidemic of myopia (also known as nearsightedness) has struck children—and it is spreading faster in many countries. Doctors warn that sitting too close

to a computer, especially fixes your eyes at a computer or 【3】______

TV screen from close range, increases the risk of myopia.

The cause of myopia is difficult to explain in simple terms. While some say sitting near computers and TV screens is one of the reasons, others say children born to nearsighted parent/parents are vulnerable. 【4】______

Can genes or the environment, or a combination of two 【5】______

explain the growing prevalence of myopia across many countries? How can parents understand what causes myopia and the risks it poses to their children's eyesight? Children suffering from myopia have trouble seeing

close objects clearly. The eyeball is thought to become 【6】______

longer, because of which less effort is needed to see up

close. Moreover, the elongated eye can no longer focus on 【7】______

distant objects.

Symptoms of myopia are rarely noticed in early 【8】______

childhood. Myopic children must hold books very close to 【9】______

their face or may not be able to read the writing on the

blackboard in school. They may squint and complain of 【10】______

head and eyestrain.

In the spirit of frankness which I hope will characterize our talks this week, let us recognize at the out-set these points: We have at times in the past been enemies. We have great differences today, what brings us together is that we have common interests which transcend those differences. As we discuss our differences, either of us will compromise our principles. But while we can not close the golf between us, we can try to bridge it so that we may be able to talk across it.

So, let us, in these next five days, start a long march together, not in lockstep, but on different roads leading to the same goal, the goal of building a world structure of peace and justice in which all may stand together with equal dignity and in which each nation, large or small, has a right to determine its own form. of government? free of outside interference or domination. The world watches. The world listens. The world waits to see what we will do. What is the world? In a personal sense, I think of my eldest daughter whose birthday is today. As I think of her, I think of all the children in the world, in Asia, in Africa, in Europe, in the Americas, most of whom were horn since the date of the foundation of the People's Republic of China.

What legacy shall we leave our children? Are they destined to die for the hatreds which have plagued the old world, or are they destined to live because we had the vision to build a new world?

And now the same exultation seized me, and once more romance, like a bodily presence, was before me. But it had come so unexpectedly that I was intrigued. I could not tell whether it had crept in among the shadow that the lamp threw on the bamboo matting, or whether it was wafted down the river that I saw through the opening of my cabin. Curious to know what were the elements that made up the ineffable delight of the moment I went out to the stern of the boat. Alongside were moored half a dozen junks, going up river, for their masts were erect; and everything was silent in them. The night was not dark, for though it was cloudy the moon was full, but the river in that veiled light was ghostly. A vague mist blurred the trees on the further bank. It was an enchanting sight, but there was in it nothing unaccustomed and what I sought was not there. I turned away. But when I returned to my bamboo shelter the magic which had given it so extraordinary a character was gone. Alas, I was like a man who should tear a butterfly to pieces in order to discover in what its beauty lay. And yet, my little cabin, my charcoal, my lamp, even my bed, had still about them something of the thrill which for a moment was mine. I could not see them any more quite indifferently, because for a moment I had seen them magically.

谁知就在他准备启程前往美国之前，他遭到一个突然的打击。她用从未用过的语气给他写了一封信。信中她以一种简略的、办理事务式的态度通知他，说自己的财产正处于全面崩溃的边缘，因而从此以后她无法再供给他任何款项了，她还告诉他，他们之间的亲密关系必须结束了……

信中的语气使他大吃一惊……

这个打击使他心烦意乱。“她对你和你的音乐感到厌烦了，”一个声音不断地跟他这样说，“现在作为她的雇佣人员你已尽了你的职责，她要摆脱你了……”

但他仍抱着一线希望，事情可能出于误会。她肯定会给他再来一封信解释一切的。一天又一天，他等待着这封信——但它没有来。他登上开往美国的轮船，到达纽约时受到喧闹的欢迎。他在新世界成了偶像。阔佬、教育家、新闻记者、马车夫——所有的人都卑躬屈膝地拜倒在地。但这些都是空虚的光荣。他愿将所有这一切换得心上人的只言片语。在那几个月中他衰老得十分快。记者们写道，他是“—个外表颇为有趣、约莫六十岁的老人”，而实际上他那时才五十岁。对美国人这种奉承他感到腻味透了，他匆匆赶回莫斯科。

It is the last day of July; for a thousand miles on every side lies Russia--home. The whole sky is a shadow-less blue; one little cloud floats upon it and melts away. A windless sultry calm; the air like warm milk.

The larks trill, the doves coo, the swallows swift by with their swift and noiseless flight; the horses neigh and crop the grass; the dogs stand about, gently wagging their tails, but not barking.

There is a mingles smell of smoke, hay, tar, and leather.

The hemp is ripe and gives forth its penetrating but pleasant odour.
