众所周知，"读书"，翻译成英语就是"read"。可你们知道"读书"这四个字母分别所代表的意思吗？
r代表returh，返璞归真。
每当我捧起一本书，那淡淡的墨香一丝丝的钻进我的鼻孔，浸入我的内心，我的心仿佛伴随着香味慢慢舒展开来。每当书香飘就我的心里，世界遗忘了我，我也遗忘了世界。
e代表enjoy，享受。
谁也不能否认，读书确实是一种享受。大多数人认为享受是物质方面的，但对于我来说，读书带给我的是精神方面的享受，它带给我的是满足与幸福。
a代表abilsty，能力。
"书中自有黄金屋，书中自有千钟粟，书中自有颜如玉。"这是古人对书进行定位，这毕竟带有时代的局限性。但在今天，读书除了排遣寂寞，打发无聊时光，还能获取知识，获取人生的正能量。读书让我有了知识的支撑，并把这些知识转化为实际生活中的能力。它还会告诉你在怎样做人，怎样做事，还会带给你更多的精神上享受和心理上的愉悦。这便是真正的读书。
d代表daylight，日光，黎明。
读书可以驱散心中的疑惑，让阳光照进自己心灵。在书中我能感受历史云烟，世态冷暖，人间善恶，社会美丑。徜徉书海，我能感受到李白的浪漫，王昭君的绝代风华，宝玉和黛玉的凄美爱恋。数载迷茫，一朝释然。心中的迷惑在读书中烟消云散。
最后，归结一下，read就等同于happy。
读书就是快乐，读书就是幸福。读书的快乐就像阳光，通过三棱镜的折射，再经过万花筒的照射，于是快乐就有了热情，日积月累，就形成了对读书的一种坚持，并在漫漫人生中演变成一种习惯。好习惯伴随着我们成长，进而成为永恒的快乐。
书香，伴我成长！今天，你读书了吗？
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.
Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, what regrets?
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry”。 But most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.
In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.
Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.
The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.

There are many different kinds of soils. Different soils have different types of rock and minerals in them. Some soils have more water in them than others. Some soils might have more plant and animal material in them, too.
Different kinds of soils are found in different parts of the world. There are several kinds of soils found in the United States. In some areas, the soil has a lot of clay. Other soils are very sandy. Loam is a kind of soil that has a good mixture of clay and sand.
In some places, soil layers are very thick. Lots of plants grow in places with a thick soil layer. In dry and windy places soil layers are much thinner. Layers of soil on mountains are thin because gravity pulls the soil downhill.
The type of soil in a particular place affects what kinds of plants can grow there.
LovePeopleInAllKindsOfWeather
Make sure your love is unconditional. Make sure you love people in all kinds of "weather"。 Or else what is the use if we love a person only when he is good or she is nice? When I need the people most that's when they leave me. All the time. So please, I hope you won't be like that. We always have to consider the other party, your companion's situation and mood. Maybe he's in difficulty right now. That's why his mood is not so sweet.
Maybe she has so much work to do and so many headaches, so she cannot be so darling like usual. That time is the time when we need to show our most noble quality, the way we want ourselves to be.
It's not that if you are sweet to that person then he will love you more. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. But that is not the point to be good and to be noble. To be good, to be noble is for ourselves because we choose to be that way, we want to keep being that way, and we feel good about it. It's not because, "Okay, now he needs me more. If I show more sympathy, then our love will be stronger"； It's not even to be considered.
But most of the time we fail the test. When people are in most difficulty, we just leave them, or we are cold and indifferent. "Oh, you're not nice to me. All right, all right."；"You'll come and need me soon."； Of course they will. When they're in a better mood, when everything goes better, of course they'll come around. But then it's too late. Then it is not love anymore. It's just a need for each other. That's different, because you are used to each other and you need each other sometimes out of habit, out of convenience, out of financial security reasons -- anything. But it's not true love.
True Love Always Prevails
True love is we stick together in "thick and thin"；。 Especially when it's thin, when it's troublesome. Then we should really bridge over the "troubled water"。 That's what they say in English. But most of us fail the test, to ourselves, not to our partners. He might leave you, he might stay with you, because you're nice or not nice. But you fail yourself. You leave yourself. You leave the most noble being that you really are. So we should check up on this to our family members or whomever that is beloved and dear to us. Most of the time in critical situations, we just turn our backs and that is no good.
Of course we have our anger, our frustrations, because our partners are not as loving as usual, or whomever that is; but he or she is in a different situation. At that time, she or he is in mental suffering. It's just as bad or even worse than physical suffering. Physical suffering you can take a pill or you can have an injection and it stops or at least temporarily stops, and you feel the effect right away; or at least if people are in physical suffering, everyone sympathizes with them.
But when they are in mental anguish, and we pound them more on that, and we turn our backs and become cold and indifferent, that is even more cruel, even worse. That person will be swimming alone in suffering. And especially they trust us as the next of kin, the next person, the one that they think they can rely on in times of need; and then at that time, we just turn around and are snobbish, because they didn't treat us nice so we just want to revenge. That's not the time. You can revenge later, when he's in better shape. Just slap him.

做英语阅读理解的技巧如下：
一、阅读积累，厚积薄发
阅读能力和理解能力是靠大量的阅读来训练和培养的。阅读技巧和方法是在阅读过程中形成的。
1、阅读积累
要提高阅读水平，词汇量与短语量非常重要。所以要提高阅读水平，我们就得学会积累词语。我们不妨这么做：在通读全文后看第二遍，遇到生词尽可能根据上下文来猜，仍猜不出意思的，就查词典，然后将这些词抄写在一本可随身携带的小本子上。每当有空时，就拿出这个小本子来背诵记忆。这样做不但不费时，而且效果也很好。因为不时地接触、反复地记忆，词汇量会增加得很快。
2、大量阅读
选一些你感兴趣，且不需要经常查词典也能看懂的英语书；订一份英语报纸，既让你获取里面时尚的阅读信息，又让你体验到英语给你带来的快乐；看一些开阔视野、提高知识水平的英语电视节目等。
3、整体阅读
我们常碰到这样的情况：句子都能看懂，但读完文章印象却不深，这就牵涉到对文章框架结构的整体理解。首先，要重视文章的标题和文章的首句，因为文章的标题或首句就是文章的主题，文章的内容就是围绕主题展开的；其次，文章的结尾句往往是这篇文章的结论或作者写这篇文章的用意所在；再次，善于标注文章关键句，可以帮助你掌握文章的全貌，理解文章的主题。很多题目就是围绕它们而设计的。
4、把握要领
在做阅读理解时，可遵循三部曲的原则，即：快速阅读短文，通读测试题，明确考察点；认真逐题作答；复查校对答案。
做完所有题目后，再读一遍短文，逐一检查所有答案是否有误。如果有拿不定主意的答案，不要随意更改。一定要从原文中找到依据，方可更正。
二、遵循要求，完成任务
任务型阅读题形式多样，除了常见的阅读简答和阅读填写表格外，翻译句子、转换句子、连续句子(用连词)、选择句子等都是任务型阅读题。常用的技巧有：
1.读懂短文，了解大意
该技巧主要针对句子翻译题。任务型阅读题中，要求翻译的句子都不是孤立的，理解这些句子往往要根据上下文或全文理解，才能准确理解句意，避免出现表达上的偏差。
2.掌握各种语法，应对不同要求
该技巧主要针对事态、语态转化以及同义句转换等。掌握一些句子结构(如感叹句等)以及更多的固定句型(如形式主语it句型)对于解决这类题目尤为重要。
3.把握句子的关系
该技巧主要针对运用连词或相关句式进行句式转换，如简单句变复合句，复合句变简单句等。
4.把握文章结构
该技巧主要针对将句子还原，将提供的某个或多个句子还原到文章的适当位置，在任务型阅读中很常见。这就要求整体把握文章段落，在上下句的结合处，它们或是需要过渡，或是需要归纳总结，根据需要安排句子。
三、提炼语言，填充表格
英语阅读填表分为两个部分：文章阅读和表格填空。表格是文章内容条理化、形象化的具体体现，是短文结构、作者思路的具体反映，填写时要做到言简意骇。 具体的方法是：
1.先表后文，学会预测
“先表后文”即指先读表格，了解表格内容和要求，再根据表格的要求快速阅读短文，这样便使阅读带有较强的目的性和针对性，从而有助于保证所获取的信息的准确性，同时，可以节省一遍阅读时间，提高做题的速度。
2.抓住大意，把握细节
表格填空题在很大程度上是考察考生对所读材料细节的理解和把握，所以要想做好此题，考生一定要在弄懂大意的同时，充分把握所读材料的细节，尤其是与表格内容直接相关的细节，这是做好此题的关键。
3.分类整理，善于归纳
在读懂材料的同时，要对所读材料进行整理、分类，从而过滤出自己所需的有用信息，在通常情况下，表格所涉及的内容都具有一定的规律性，可能是同一个问题的几个不同方面，也可能是几个不同问题的同一方面，或是几个不同问题的不同方面，等等。比如涉及几项活动举行的时间、地点、原因、方式等。
4.寻找出处，对号入座
由于阅读填表题要以所读材料为依据，在通常情况下，每个空格的所填内容一般可从给定材料中找到出处或依据，在做题时要充分利用这一特点，将“空格”与“出处”对号入座，然后根据表格中已有信息的表现形式，准确填出所缺内容。同时，值得注意的是，如果表格所填信息与原文中的“出处”基本相同，则可直接对号入座；如果表格信息与原文中的“出处”有较大出入，则要进行适当的转换。
5.注意形式的变化
所填表格的词的形式(大小写等)应与表格中所提供的形式要一致。
做英语阅读理解的技巧：
四、养成习惯，提高效率
养成良好的阅读习惯，在阅读时既能节约时间，又能提高答题的准确率。
1.习惯视读，避免手指阅读
即在阅读时，应该使眼球沿着书行活动，而不是用手指或笔尖之类的`东西，指着正在阅读的内容，一个词一个词地读。
2.略读问题和选项，带问题阅读
做英语阅读理解题时，首先应浏览一遍所提问题，然后带着这些问题有目的、有针对性地阅读文章。
3.耐心通读全文
遇到难解的词组和句子不要急躁，要尽量根据上下文悟出文义，解题时要“带着问题读短文”，分析判断，整题解完后要认真复查。
4.习惯猜词
在英语阅读过程中，应该有意识地养成自己的猜词习惯，千万不要一遇到生词就查词典。因为只有养成猜词的习惯，并在阅读实践中结合自己的学习常识，才能培养自己的猜词能力，从而进一步提高阅读能力。
五、完形填空四步法
完形填空题旨在考察学生综合运用语言知识的能力。做此题时必须通篇考虑，先掌握大意，再综合运用所学词汇、语法及常识进行推理判断。解此类题主要从以下四步做起：
第一步 重视首句，把握开篇
完形填空一般无标题，首句一般不留空，是完整的一句，全文信息从此开始。细读首句，可判断文章体裁，预测文章大意和主旨。
第二步 速读全文，掌握大意
阅读全文时要一气呵成，即使有空格、生词或不明白的地方，也有快速读完，理解全文大意。读时要注意找出关键词、中心词。切记不要在未掌握大意的基础上，边阅读边做题，这样做的结果是速度慢、准确率低。
第三步 瞻前顾后，灵活答题
“瞻前顾后”，即先读所要填词的句子，再回顾上一句，兼顾下一句。如果一句中有两个空格需要填，在初定答案时要“双管齐下”，在两处同时试填，然后通读全句，确定答案。
第四步 复核全文，调整答案
把握好的短文通读一遍进行核查，同时注意以下三点：
1.上下文的一致性，即时态语态的一致以及代词、名词、单复数的一致。
2.从语法和惯用词及习惯搭配、甚至语感入手，判断是否符合上下文的逻辑。
3.段与段、句与句之间的衔接是否连贯。
六、新闻广告类材料的阅读技巧
新闻广告类材料是中考的热门考题。其文句简练，信息量大，句式使用简单，表达方式多样，但阅读这类题目也是有规律可循的。
1.品位广告、新闻的标题，预测其内容。
阅读广告时，要注意广告中涉及的人物，物品，时间，数字，联系人及方式地址。阅读新闻时，要抓住新闻的特点即何时何处何人发生何事，其经过和结果怎样。
2.要抓住书写广告的文体或图片，注意用大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字。
3.解题技巧
①快速浏览广告、新闻，从标题中预测内容及涉及的类别。
②浏览问题，寻找答案。注意地点和时间的多样化造成的误选。
③复读材料，核实答案。
七、记叙文的阅读技巧
记叙文是初中阶段的主要训练内容。记叙文通过写人记事来提示文章的主题。它的题目主要设计为细节问题，它常常与Who,What,when/what time,where,why 即5W 和How 即1How 有关。做记叙文题要从下面几点入手：
1.纵观全文，列出记叙的要素
一篇记叙文，要交代清楚人物和事件，就必须交代清楚记叙的要素，即：时间、地点、人物、事件的原因、经过和结果
2.弄清记叙的顺序
初中阶段的记叙文多为顺叙
3.理解记叙的人称
弄清记叙文中的人称代词指代的对象，有利于更好地理解文意。
4.找出记叙的线索
线索是记叙文的纲，抓住线索，就能理顺文章内容，掌握文章结构，更好地理解文章的中心思想。
5.体会记叙文的表达手法
记叙文以叙事为主，但有时也运用描写、说明和议论。尤其是要注意夹叙夹议类文章，它的题目往往设计为推理性和总结性题目。
The Man of Many Secretsharry Houdini was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century. He was a man famous for his escapes form prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his “magic” tricks.
Of course, his secret was not magic, or supernatural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.
Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in a club in New York. they called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape, in Chicago in 1898. harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.
It was the publicity that came from this the started Hayyr Houdini’s success.
Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape from ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luckand a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, passed quickly from her mouth to his.
Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. he arranged to escape from the local jail of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be f
About 50 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was never heard of.But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stroke Mandeville,England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann,the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann,who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany,had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.His ideas about treating injuries included sports for the disabled.
? In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part.The next year,1949,five teams took part.From those beginnings things developed now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year.In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in ,every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held,if possible,in the same place as the normal Olympic Games，although
they are organized separately.In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville.In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games,1604 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part.Unfortunately,they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles,along with the other Olympics.?
The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you cant enjoy small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games,however,has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include the disabled events at the Olympic Games for the ablebodied. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.
The intensive work of materials scientists and solid-state physicists has given rise to a class of solids known as amorphous metallic alloys or glassy metals. There is a growing interest among theoretical and applied researchers alike in the structural properties of these materials.
When a molten metal or metallic alloy is cooled to a solid, a crystalline structure is formed that depends on the particular alloy composition. In contrast, molten nonmetallic glass-forming materials when cooled do not assume a crystalline structure, but instead retain a structure somewhat like that of the liquid an amorphous structure. At room temperature the natural long-term tendency for both types of materials is to assume the crystalline structure. The difference between the two is in the kinetics or rate of formation of the crystalline structure which is controlled by factors such as the nature of the chemical bonding and the ease with which atoms move relative to each other. Thus, in metals, the kinetics favors rapid formation of a crystallines structure whereas in nonmetallic glasses the rate of formation is so slow that almost any cooling rate is sufficient to result in an amorphous structure. For glassy metals to be formed, the molten metal must be cooled extremely rapidly so that crystallization is suppressed.
The structure of glassy metals is thought to be similar to that of liquid metals. One of the first attempts to model the structure of a liquid was that by the late J. D. Bernal of the University of London, who packed hard spheres into a rubber vessel in such a way as to obtain the maximum possible density. The resulting dense, random-packed structure was the basis for many attempts to model the structure of glassy metals.
