9、ARNED FOREIGN LANGUAGES Karl Marx was born in Germany, and German was his native language. When he was still a young man, he was forced to leave his homeland for political reasons. He stayed in Belgium for a few years; then he went to France. Before long he had to move on again. In 1849, he went

10、to England and made London the base for his revolutionary work. Marx had learned some French and English at school. When he got to England, he found that his English was too limited. He started working hard to improve it. He made such rapid progress that before long he began to write articles in En

11、glish for an American newspaper. In fact, his English in one of these articles was so good that Engels wrote him a letter and praised him for it. Marx wrote back to say that Engels praise had greatly encouraged him. However, he went on to explain that he was not too sure about two things--the gramma

12、r and some of the idioms. These letters were written in 1853. In the years that followed, Marx kept on studying English and using it. When he wrote one of his great works, The Civil War in France, he had mastered the language so well that he was bale to write the book in English. In the 1870s, whe

13、n Marx was already in his fifties, he found it important to study the situation in Russia, so he began to learn Russian. At the end of six months he had learned enough to read articles and reports in Russian. In one of his books, Marx gave some advice on how to learn a foreign language. He said when

14、 a person is learning a foreign language; he must not always be translating everything into his own language. If he does this, it shows he has not mastered it. He must be able to use the foreign language, forgetting all about his own. If he can not do this, he has not really grasped the spirit of th

15、e foreign language and can not use it freely. 2、AT HOME IN THE FUTURE A medical examination without a doctor or nurse in the room? Doing shopping at home? Borrowing books from the library without leaving your home? These ideas may seem strange to you. But scientists are working ha

16、rd to turn them into realities. Let us suppose we can visit a home at the end of this century. We will visit a boy named Charlie Green. He is not feeling well this morning. His mother, Mrs Green, wants the doctor to see him. That is, she wants the doctor to listen to him. She brings a set of wires

17、to Charlies room. These wires are called sensors. She places one sensor in his mouth and one on his chest. She puts another one around his wrist and one on his forehead. Then she plugs the sensors into a wall outlet. She says the code "TCP". This means "telephone call placed." A little light flashes

18、 on the wall. The Greens wireless telephone is ready for a call. Mrs Green says "2478", the doctors telephone number. From a speaker on the wall comes the doctors voice: "Good morning." "Good morning, Dr Scott," answers Mrs Green. "Charlie isnt feeling too well this morning. Ive put the sensors on

19、 him. I wonder if you can examine him now." "Sure," the doctors voice says. "Well, he doesnt have a fever. And his pulse is fine. Now, breathe deeply, Charlie." Charlie does so. "Just a little cold," says the doctor. "Better stay inside today, Charlie. And take it easy." "Thank you, Doctor," say

20、s Mrs Green. "TCC (telephone call completed)." The light on the wall turns off. The phone call and the examination are finished. "Charlie," says Mrs Green," since you have to stay at home, why dont you do some shopping? You can pick out your new bicycle. After all, your birthday is only two weeks a

21、way." "Great," Charlie answers. Charlie and his mother sit in front of one of the vision phones. There are several in their house. "TCP," says Charlie. The word ready appears on the screen of the vision phone. "New Forest Bicycle Shop," a voice says. "May I help you?" Charlie answers, "Id like

22、to see your ten-speed bicycles." In the next few minutes, pictures of many models of the bicycles are flashed on the screen. The price of each model is also shown. Then the voice asks, "Are you interested in any of these models?" "Yes, Im interested in model 6." "Do you wish to place an order at

23、 this time?" "Not just yet," answers Mrs Green. "My sons birthday is in two weeks time. Thank you. TCC." The vision phone shuts off. Such would be our home in the future. 2-1、A VISIT TO THE LIBRARY IN THE FUTURE 　　The shopping is finished. Charlies pare

24、nts tell him they have to go out for a little while. "Why dont you visit the library while were out?" says Charlies dad. "I know they have some new books on basket-ball, your favourite game." 　　Charlie goes to one of the visionphones. He places a call to the library. He asks to see one of the new b

25、ooks on basket-ball. 　　Basket-ball Giant, the name of the book, is flashed on the screen. "Turn," says Charlie. The first page of the book is shown on the screen. Then the second, and the third. Charlie has read about fifty pages of it. Then he hears his mothers voice coming through a speaker on the

26、 wall. Charlie turns off the visionphone. He says hello to his mother. 　　"Where are you?" he adds. 　　"Were driving on the freeway," Mrs Green says. "This is taking a little more time than we thought. We wont be back until two oclock. Better get some lunch for yourself." 　　"What are you doing?" Charl

27、ie asks. 　　"Well explain later," she says. 　　"O.K." says Charlie. 3、The Blind Men and the Elephant Once upon a time there were six blind men who lived in a village in India. Every day they went to the road nearby and stood there begging. They had often heard of elephants, but they had never

28、 seen one, for, being blind, how could they? One morning an elephant was led down the road where they stood. When they heard that an elephant was passing by, they asked the driver to stop the beast so that they could have a "look". Of course they could not look at him with their eyes, but they tho

29、ught they might learn what kind of animal he was by touching and feeling him. For, you see, they trusted their own sense of touch very much. The first blind man happened to place his hand on the elephants side. "Well, well," he said. "This beast is exactly like a wall." The second grasped one of t

30、he elephants tusks and felt it. "Youre quite mistaken," he said. "Hes round and smooth and sharp. Hes more like a spear than anything else." The third happened to take hold of the elephants trunk. "Youre both completely wrong," he said. "This elephant is like a snake, as anybody can see." The four

31、th opened both his arms and closed them round one of the elephants legs. "Oh, how blind you are!" he cried. "Its very clear that hes round and tall like a tree." The fifth was a very tall man, and he caught hold of one of the elephants ears. "Even the blindest person must see that this elephant isn

32、t like any of the things you name," he said. "Hes exactly like a huge fan." The sixth man went forward to feel the elephant. He was old and slow and it took him quite some time to find the elephant at all. At last he got hold of the beasts tail. "Oh, how silly you all are!" cried he. "The elephant

33、isnt like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree; neither is he like a fan. Any man with eyes in his head can see that hes exactly like a rope." Then the driver and the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, quarrelling about the elephant. They could not agree with one

34、another, because each believed that he knew just what the beast looked like. It is not only blind men who make such stupid mistakes. People who can see sometimes act just as foolishly. 4、GALILEO AND ARISTOTLE 　　About 2300 years ago, there lived in Greece a great thinker named Aristotle. He obser

35、ved that feathers fell to the ground slowly, while stones fell much faster. He thought it over carefully and concluded that heavy objects always fell faster than light ones. His conclusion certainly sounded reasonable. But we now know that it is not true. 　　In those days people seldom did experiment

36、s to test their ideas. When they observed anything that happened, they thought about it and then drew a conclusion. Once Aristotle made up his mind that heavy objects always fell faster than light objects, he taught it as a truth to his students. And because he was Aristotle, the great thinker, no o

37、ne questioned his idea for almost 2000 years. 　　Then, almost 400 years ago, an Italian scientist named Galileo began to question Aristotles theory of falling objects. He was not ready to believe something just because Aristotle said so. He decided to do some experiments to test Aristotles theory. 　　

38、Galileo lived in the city of Pisa, where there is a leaning tower about 180 feet high. From the top of the tower Galileo dropped a light ball and a heavy ball at exactly the same time. They both fell at about the same speed and hit the ground together. He tried the experiments again and again. Every

39、 time he got the same result. At last, he decided that he had found the truth about falling objects. As we know now, heavy objects and light objects fall at the same speed unless air holds them back. A feather falls slower than a stone only because the air holds the feather back more than it does th

40、e stone. 　　When Galileo told people of his discovery, no one would believe him. But Galileo was not discouraged. He went on doing experiments to test the truth of other old ideas. He built a telescope through which he could study the skies. He collected facts that proved the earth and all the other

41、planets move around the sun. 　　Today we praise Galileo and call him one of the founders of modern science. He observed things carefully and never took anything for granted. Instead, he did experiments to test and prove an idea before he was ready to accept it. 　　An experiment was done on the moon in

42、 July, 1971. One of the US astronauts who made the first deep space walk on the moon dropped a hammer and a feather together. They both landed on the surface of the moon at the same time. This experiment proved that Galileos theory of falling objects is true. 4-1、PENICILLIN 　　If you leave a pi

43、ece of bread in a warm damp place, mould will soon grow on it. When this happens, we say the bread "has gone mouldy". Mould can grow on all kinds of things besides food. It grows from spores which are in the air. If the conditions are right, a spore can quickly get around and form a mould. This happ

44、ens quite commenly. We have all probably seen it. 　　In 1928, Sir Alexander Fleming found that mould had killed some germs he was trying to grow in his lab. If he had not noticed this, the world would have lost one of the greatest discoveries of the century. Fleming called the substance "penicillin"

45、. 　　Because penicillin can kill germs, doctors use it to treat diseases. It has saved millions of lives. Scientists grow large quantities of common mould so that they can get penicillin from it in order to make antibiotics, that is, substances that kill germs. Next time you see some mould on a piec

46、e of bread, remember that it is one of mans greatest friends! 5、The Lost Necklace Place: a park in Paris Time: a summer afternoon in 1870 People: Mathilde Loisel, wife Pierre Loisel, husband (Jeanne is sitting in the park. Mathilde walks towards her, she st

47、ops and speaks to Jeanne.) Mathilde: Good afternoon, Jeanne. Jeanne : (Looking at the other woman) I’m sorry, but I don，t think I know you. Mathilde: No, you wouldn’t but many years ago you knew me well. I，m Mathilde Loisel. Jeanne : Mathilde! My old school friend. Is it possible? But yes, of c

48、ourse it is .Now I remember. Where have you been all these years, Mathilde? I hope you were n’t ill . Mathilde: No, Jeanne, I was n’t ill . You see here an old woman. But it’s because of hard work—ten years of hard work. Jeanne : But I don，t understand, Mathilde . There，s only one year between u

49、s ; I’m thirty-five and you’re thirty-four. Can hard work change a person that much? Mathilde : Yes, it can . Years of hard work, little food, only a cold room to live in and never, never a moment to rest. That has been my life for these past ten years. Jeanne : Mathilde! I did n’t know. I’m sor

50、ry. But what happened? Mathilde: Well, I would rather not tell you. Jeanne : Oh , come, Mathilde. Surely you can tell an old friend. Mathilde: Well, …Well, it was all because of that necklace . Your necklace. Jeanne : My necklace ? Mathilde: Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago when I

51、came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace? Jeanne : Let me think . Ten years ago … Oh, yes, I remember. You were going to the palace with your husband, I think. Mathilde: Right. Pierre was working in a government office, and for the first time in our lives we were invited to an important

52、ball. (The scene changes to that evening in the home of Pierre and Mathilde Loisel.) Pierre : Yes , Mathilde, we，re going to the ball, the palace ball ! Mathilde: I can，t believe it! Pierre : But it，s true. Mathilde: Oh, Pierre, how wonderful! But I haven，t got a dress for the ball ! Pierre :

53、What does a new evening dress cost? Mathilde: About four hundred francs. Pierre : Four hundred ! That，s a lot of money . But perhaps, just this once, we’ll use what we have to get a new dress for you. This ball is very important to me. I was the only person in my office who was invited. Mathilde:

54、 Thank you, Pierre, you，re so kind. Oh! But there，s one other thing… Pierre : What is it, Mathilde? Mathilde: I…I have no jewelry . Pierre ：Jewelry? Do you need jewelry? Why not just a flower? Mathilde: To go to the palace with just a flower is to say “I’m poor . I haven’t got any jewelry.” Pi

55、erre : Can’t you borrow some jewelry from a friend , Mathilde ? Mathilde: Which friend ? My friends are all poor, too. Pierre : Let me think . How about Jeanne? She married well. Perhaps she has some. Mathilde: Ah, yes, Jeanne. She married a man with a lot of money. I’ll go and see her on Frid

56、ay, after I get the new dress. Pierre : I，m sure she has something you can borrow. (The scene changes back to the park. Mathilde continues to tell Jeanne her story.) Mathilde: One Friday I came to see you, Jeanne. Remember? Jeanne : Yes , Mathilde, I remember. Mathilde: You were very kin

57、d. You brought out your jewelry and told me to take anything I wanted. Jeanne : (Smiling) You were like a little girl. Your eyes became so big. Mathilde: There were so many things and they were all beautiful. It was hard to choose. Jeanne : Until you saw the diamond necklace. Mathilde: Yes, a

58、nd then I knew I wanted to borrow the necklace. I didn’t want anything else , only the necklace. Jeanne : I，m sure you looked beautiful that evening, Mathilde. You were always a very pretty girl. Mathilde: Perhaps in those days I was, but everything changed after that night at the palace. Jeanne

59、 : Didn’t you have a good time at the ball ? Mathilde: Yes, a very good time, but that was the last time…the last happy evening for the next ten years. Jeanne : But why , Mathilde? Mathilde: On the way home I looked down at my dress and saw that the necklace was gone. I told Pierre. We returned

60、 to the palace and looked in every room, but couldn’t find it. I never saw your necklace again, Jeanne. Jeanne : But Mathilde, you brought it back to me the next afternoon. I remember very well. Mathilde: Yes, Jeanne, I brought a necklace to you. It was exactly like your necklace but it was a di

61、fferent one. I hope it was as good as the one you lent me. It cost us thirty-six thousand francs. Jeanne : Thirty-six thousand ! Mathilde: Yes, Pierre and I borrowed the money and bought it. During the next ten years we both worked night and day to pay for it. That is why you see this old woman b

62、efore you now, Jeanne. Well, after all these years we’ve at last paid off all our debts. Jeanne : But Mathilde, my dear friend, that wasn’t a real diamond necklace you borrowed from me. It was made of glass. It was worth five hundred francs at the most. 5-1、THE VAIN STAG 　

63、　One hot day a big stag that had a pair of very large antlers stood on the bank of a river. He was thirsty and went down to the water to drink. Suddenly he saw his reflection in the water. He was very pleased with what he saw. “Oh,” he said. “What a beautiful pair of antlers I’ve got! How fine my he

64、ad is! How proud I look! Nobody has such beautiful antlers as I have. Perhaps some people will say that my antlers are too big, but I don’t think so. I like them very much.” And the vain stag looked again at his reflection in the water. 　　Suddenly he heard the barking of dogs. Three hunters and thei

65、r dogs came out of the forest. The stag ran across the field into the forest. He was already far from the dogs, but he caught his antlers in the branches of some low trees and could not get away. 　　The dogs ran up to him and pulled him to the ground. Then the hunters came up and killed him. 6、ABR

66、AHAM LINCOLN 　　 Abraham Lincoln, the son of a poor family, was born in Kentucky on February 12, 1809. He spent his childhood in hard work, helping his father on their small farm. His mother, who he loved dearly, died in 1818. Happily for him, his father s second wife was kind to him too. When she saw that Abraham liked reading, she did all she could to help him. But the family was poor and the boy could not get many books. Abraham L
