每个人所欣赏的世界都是他自己所创造出来的。每个人都有几分是艺术家，所以对于术都有几分欣赏力。真正艺术家所以超过一般人的地方就在于他比较超脱，比较能跳出实用圈套，用最敏锐的眼和最童贞的心去领略事物的本来面目，所以他能看到一般人所不能看到的境界。换句话说，他给较富于创造的想象。他对于一般人好比是一个游玩艺术风景的指路者，他创造出一个世界来指给你看。

听人家背地里谈论，孔乙己原来也读过书，但终于没有进学，又不会营生：于是愈过愈穷．弄到将要讨饭了。幸而写得一笔好宇．便替人家抄抄书，换一碗饭吃。可惜他又有一样坏脾气，便是好喝懒做。坐不到几天．便连人和书籍纸张笔砚，一齐失踪。如是几次，叫他抄书的人也没有了。孔乙己没有法，便免不了偶然做些偷窃的事。但他在我们店里，品行却比别人都好，就是从不拖欠，虽然间或没有现钱，暂时记在粉板上，但不出一月，定然还清，从粉板上拭去了孔乙己的名字。

For well over a century, one street in New

York City has been known as the heart of the

American theater. The name of the street is

Broadway. Mention that name to anyone who

has ever visited New York, he will remember 【M1】______

bright lights, eager crowds, and an electric

air of excitement. Over the years, Broadway

has been known success and failure, praise 【M2】______

and scorn. In recent times it has faced special

problems, both artistic and financial. Yet,

despite of an its imperfections, Broadway 【M3】______

remains the center of theatrical activity

in the United States. The goal of young

performers in the U.S. is still to act in

a Broadway play.

Today the high cost of theatrical production

is limiting both quantity and qualification. 【M4】______

Whereas it was possible to produce a play on

Broadway for ＄ 10,000 or less before World

War Ⅱ, it costs at least ten times as many 【M5】______

to do so today. As a result, less plays are 【M6】______

produced, and producers seldom dare to try

new forms of drama since they may not prove profit. 【M7】______

On Broadway, a play must be popular

sufficiently to attract audiences over a long 【M8】______

period of time. A long run is essential because

Broadway theaters are not given financial support

by the government, as like leading theaters in 【M9】______

most other countries. Yet, funds are raised 【M10】______

for individual productions and must be repaid

to the investors, if at all possible. Thus

producers need to find plays which will please

audiences. Often the result is a play with little

artistic value.

汉、唐时期既是经济繁荣的盛世，也是中外交流的盛世。张骞出使西域，开拓举世闻名的“丝绸之路”；玄奘万里取经，带回南亚国家的古老文化；明代郑和七下西洋，把中华文化传向远方的国度。但是后来，特别是清代晚期，封建统治者实行闭关锁国的政策，阻碍了中国的进步和中外交流。鸦片战争以来，一代又一代先进的中国人为了振兴中华，努力向西方国家学习先进的科学思想和文明成果，并同中国的实际相结合，推动了中国社会的变革与发展。

Four months before election day, five men gathered in a small conference room at the Reagan-Bush headquarters and reviewed an oversize calendar that marked the remaining days of the 1984 presidential campaign. It was the last Saturday in June and at ten o'clock in the morning the rest of the office was practically deserted. Even so, the men kept the door shut and the drapes carefully drawn. The three principals and their two deputies had come from around the country for a critical meeting. Their aim was to devise a strategy that would guarantee Ronald Reagan's resounding re-election to a second term in the White House.

It should have been easy. These were battle-tested veterans with long ties to Reagan and even longer ones to the Republican party, men who understood presidential politics as well as any in the country. The backdrop of the campaign was hospitable, with lots of good news to work with. America was at peace, and the nation's economy, a key factor in any election, was rebounding vigorously after recession. Furthermore, the campaign itself was lavishly financed, with plenty of money for a top-flight staff, travel, and television commercials. And, most important, their candidate was Ronald Reagan, a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills. Reagan has succeeded more than any president since John. F. Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America -- a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative, and smaller federal government.

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?
