1、 1 Although they may not be the worlds fastest or strongest athletes, the 1830 competitions in the 2005 Special Olympics World Winter Games held in Nagano, Japan competed with all their hearts. At the closing ceremony Princess Takamado of Japan made a speech .She said, The past week was all about sm
2、iles, gentleness and peace. I truly hope within my heart that the entire world can learn something here. We can all learn from the examples these special athletes have shown us. The aim of the Special Olympics is clear. It is to encourage individuals with intellectual disabilities to become physical
3、ly fit. They are also encouraged to be productive and respected members of society through sports training and competition. If an athlete wins in competition, it is a bonus. However , in a way everyone wins. Lily Kuhn ,12, a skier with Team USA , could hardly restrain her enthusiasm as the wrote hom
4、e. She told her parents: I was proud of myself. I am happy not simply for winning, but for winning honestly, loving to compete and working the hardest for the longest time.The festival ending the games is something to remember. It isnt complete without the hugs. One event volunteer while hugging and
5、 handing out sweatshirts to some of the athletes held up his thumbs and said, ”All of these athletes are super! I cant go anywhere around here without getting a hug. I pray for more of this sort of thing. I hope that the spirit with which they have competed might touch the whole world. Watching thes
6、e young people blossom over the past week has truly touched my life. ”At the end of the festival, the vice mayor for the city of Shanghai, which will host the 2007 summer games, accepted the flag for the Special Olympics pledging that “the city of Shanghai would open its arms to the world and to the
7、 Special Olympics”.虽然他们不可能是世界上最快的或最强的运动员,这1830项比赛在2005冬季特殊奥运会在日本长野举行的比赛,与所有他们的心脏。在闭幕式上公主takamado日本作了发言。她说,“过去的一周都是微笑,温柔与和平。我真的希望在我的心让整个世界都能学到一些东西在这里。我们都可以学习的例子向我们展示了这些特殊的运动员。”目的明确的特殊奥运会。它是鼓励个人与智力残疾,身体健康。他们还鼓励生产和尊重社会成员通过体育训练和比赛。如果运动员赢得比赛,这是一个奖金。然而,在一个人人胜。库恩,12,一个滑雪者与美国队,几乎无法抑制自己的热情为写信回家。她告诉她的父母:我为自己感

9、unds when he took up running in the 1960s. He soon reaped the benefits from running. His weight decreased by 60 pounds by the time his book, The Complete Book Of Running, was published. His book inspired millions of people. In his book and on television talk shows, he extolled the benefits of physic
10、al exercise and how it considerably increased the average peoples life expectancy. His readers and audience became more health-conscious. However , to their shock, Fixx died at the age of 52 after his daily run. Many who opposed his beliefs said this was evidence that running was harmful. However, h
11、is supporters revealed that the real cause of Fixxs death was a heart attack. He came from a family where men had poor health stories. His father suffered a heart attack at the age of 35 and died of one at 42. Given Fixxs unhealthy lifestyle until he took up running, many argued that running added m
12、any years to his life. “Running does have its shortcomings,” Acknowledges heart specialist Paul Thomas, in a recent medical journal. “The impact can be hard on your knees. Runners are more at risk during their training, particularly if they run marathons. However, the news for runners isnt all bad.
13、Evidence suggests in spite of its shortcomings, moderate amount of running exercise can actually result in a longer, improved life.” Dr.Dale Macdonald, a certified Strength and Conditioning specialist once summed up a discussion by saying, “As with all athletic endeavors, running comes with both gre
14、at reward and inherent risk. More than 60% of runners will suffer an injury that causes them to take time off runningeach year!” He also said that improving ones balance can reduce the likelihood of injury. 吉姆夫人是一个老烟枪,重达214磅,在20世纪60年代他开始跑步的时候。他很快就获得了好处,从运行。他的体重减少了60磅的时候,他的书,全书的跑步,出版。他的著作鼓舞了数以百万计的人。在

16、坏事。证据表明,尽管它的缺点,适量的运动可以导致更长的时间,提高了生活。”戴尔麦克唐纳德博士,一个认证的强度和空调专家曾经总结讨论说,“所有的体育事业,跑来的两个伟大的奖赏和固有的风险。超过60%的选手将受到损伤,导致他们把时间running-each年!他还说,提高人的平衡可以减少受伤的可能性。奥运”。3 Hyde was founded in 1966 to provide education based on character development rather than academic achievement. It is a place where well-to-do fam
17、ilies can send their children who have difficulty in other educational environments. Many students are there because their parents believe in the educational theory of character before performance. Although Hyde is typically categorized as a college preparatory school, the school regards its primary
18、 purpose as preparation for life. Hyde helps students learn, embrace, and adopt a character compass that will guide them for the rest of their lives. Emphasis is placed on performing arts and sports. Hyde believes that one needs to expose themselves to group and community interactions as part of the
19、 growth process. Competitive sports are played year round and have led to many championships. There are typical high school classes and academics. Many Advanced Placement courses are available and encouraged. Most students are accepted to four-year colleges and universities. There are “Group Discove
20、ry” sessions several times per week. Students are encouraged to counsel each other when they think another students actions or thoughts do not correspond to the schools philosophy. These sessions focus on the individual students and their current issues and problems faced at the school. Students are
21、 encouraged to share intimate secrets, doubts and regrets about themselves and their families. These sessions are extended to parents. The purpose of these sessions is to involve the whole family into the Hyde community social structure. Truth is emphasized over harmony. Students who have difficulty
22、 with following the school rules are assigned to perform maintenance jobs and lawn care for the school. The practice is not solely punitive but also serves to illustrate that the transgressor has separated him/herself from the community by their actions. The idea behind it is to earn acceptance by t
23、he group, and work back into the trust of the community.海德公司成立于1966提供教育的基础上发展而不是学术成就。这是一个地方,富裕的家庭能把孩子谁有困难,其他的教育环境。许多学生都是因为他们的父母认为在教育理论的性质之前,性能。尽管海德通常分为大学预科学校,学校作为其主要目的为生活做准备。海德帮助学生学习,拥抱,并采取一个字符的指南针,将引导他们的余生。重点是放在表演艺术和体育。海德认为,一个人需要暴露自己的群体和社区互动作为成长的一部分。竞技体育比赛全年和导致许多锦标赛。有典型的高中班和学者。许多高级课程可与鼓励。大多数学生接受本科院
24、校。有“发现”的会议每星期几次。鼓励学生互相劝导当他们认为另一个学生的行动或思想不符合学校的哲学。这些会议侧重于个别学生和他们目前的问题和面临的问题在学校。鼓励学生分享亲密的秘密,怀疑与后悔自己和家人。这些会议扩大到父母。这些会议的目的是涉及整个家庭陷入海德社区的社会结构。真理是强调和谐。学生有困难谁以下校规被分配执行维护工作和草坪护理学校。实践不仅是惩罚性也正好说明,违反者使他/她从社区的行动。背后的想法是赚验收组的工作,并重返社会的信任。4 When Henry Ford announced he was going to produce an automobile that would
25、be affordable to the general population, he probably did not realize what a great impact his achievement would have on life in the United States and, eventually, the world. Fords use of mass production strategies to manufacture the Model T started a new era in personal transportation. As a result, r
26、oads were built for the sake of cars and the greater mobility of people. With cars and the roads, having a business of ones own became a lot more feasible. Every type of business sprung up. Customers could easily get to the stores no matter where they were in town, provided there was a road, so busi
27、nesses no longer had to be located at a towns center. And what about the family vacation? Families packed into their cars and drove across the country to explore the new frontier, stopping at every possible roadside attraction on the way. There was no limit to where you could go and what you could s
28、ee. The car offered a sense of independence and, as Americans particularly hated to be restricted, they fell in love with the automobile instantly. On average, each American household owns two or more cars. As the world gets more complicated, driving cars around helps people cope with the demands of
29、 modern life. If you ask people what qualities define Americans, they will probably say that the two dominating characteristics of an American are inventiveness and independence. America is truly the land of cars and car culture.当福特宣布他将生产汽车,将是负担得起的向一般人群,他可能不知道什么影响很大,他的成就会对美国的生活,最终,世界。福特的大规模使用的生产战略,制
30、造模型,开始一个新时代的个人交通。因此,道路建为求汽车和更大的流动性的人。汽车和公路,有自己的公司变得更加可行的。每一种类型的企业如雨后春笋般。顾客可以轻易得到的商店,无论他们在哪里,在镇上,设置有一条路,使企业不再是一个位于镇中心。什么样的家庭度假?家庭装在他们的汽车开全国各地开拓新的领域,停在路边的吸引力的每一个可能的方式。是没有限制的,你可以去和你可以看到。汽车提供了一个独立的意识,美国人特别讨厌受到限制,他们爱上了汽车立即。平均来说,每个美国家庭拥有两家或更多的汽车。世界变得越来越复杂,驾驶汽车在帮助人们应付现代生活的挑战。如果你问别人什么品质确定的美国人,他们可能会说,主要特点是创造
31、性和独立的美国。美国是真正的土地的汽车和汽车文化。5 Aging is a natural process. Although medical advancements have come up with ways to cover signs of aging, there is no stopping the process. During the closing period in the lifespan of human beings, people tend to “move away” from more desirable previous periods, often kno
32、wn as “usefulness”. Age sixty is usually considered the dividing line between middle and old age. It is the time where you are considered an “elderly”, meaning somewhat old or advanced beyond middle age. Period of decline comes partly from physical and partly psychological factors. The physical caus
33、e of decline is a change in the body cells due to the effects of the aging process. The psychological cause of decline has something to do with unfavorable attitudes toward oneself, other people, work and life in general. Senility, a more or less complete physical breakdown, will take place when the
34、re is mental disorganization. The individual becomes careless, absent-minded, socially withdrawn, and promptly adjusted.Due to the unfavorable social attitudes toward the elderly, treatment toward them in American, unlike other cultures, makes them feel no longer useful and unwanted. People who come
35、 from countries where respect for the elderly is customary usually treat elder people with more consideration and respect.In fact, old people are a treasure of experience to society. It is expected that old people will play an increasingly active role in social and community affairs as well as in th
36、e business and professional worlds. Because of the reduction in the number of roles the elderly are able to play , it is very likely that they will develop a feeling of inferiority. It is our duty to make them better realize value and help them lead a life of comfort. 衰老是一个自然的过程。虽然医疗进步想出办法来覆盖老化的迹象,也
37、没有停止的过程。在闭幕期间的寿命人类,人们往往“走”更可取的以前的时期,通常被称为“效用”。六十岁时通常被认为是之间的分界线,中年和老年。是时候你认为是一个“老人”,意思是有些旧的或先进的中年以后。时间的下降部分是身体和心理的部分因素。体力下降的原因是改变人体细胞的影响而老化过程。心理下降的原因是与不利的态度自己,其他人,工作和生活中一般。衰老,一个较完整的物理故障,将发生在有精神紊乱。个人变得粗心,心不在焉,社会撤回,并及时调整。由于不利的社会对老人的态度,对待他们在美国,与其他文化,使他们感到不再有用和无用。那些来自的国家,对老年人的尊敬是习惯通常对老年人更多的关心和尊重。事实上,老年人的
38、经验,社会财富。预计,老年人将发挥越来越积极的作用在社会和社区事务,以及在业务和专业的世界。由于数量的减少,老年人能够发挥作用,它很可能,他们将建立一个自卑的感觉。这是我们的责任,使他们更好地实现价值,帮助他们过上舒适的生活。6Earthquakes have blamed our lives for as long as people have inhabited the Earth. These dangerous acts of the Earth have resulted in great damage to human beings.Earthquakes damage depen
39、ds on what area is hit. If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. If it hits a large city which is densely populated, there may be serious injuries and destruction.Earthquakes have the power to uproot trees and send them crashing into buildings. They can trigger
40、 landslides and cause flooding and tsunamis. Buildings and structures are also at risk. It is interesting to note that tall buildings will suffer the least damage if they are located directly at the epicenter. This is because they can withstand the up-and-down motion of P-waves. S-waves, on the othe
41、r hand, occur far away from the epicenter, and cause the greatest stress by shaking buildings from side to side. These buildings are often knocked off their foundations.Buildings with thick, heavy walls do not resist shock waves very well. Violent earthquakes often cause structures to collapse, bury
42、ing people underneath. Brick buildings are most vulnerable. The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. It is in the subsequent fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs.Predicting an earthquake until now has almost been technologically impossible. With improvements
43、 in technology, lives have been saved and many more will. All that remains is to tesearch what takes place before, during, and after an earthquake. This has been done for years to the point that a successful earthquake prediction is theoretically possible. However, accurate prediction of earthquake
44、may take more years.地震造成我们的生活,只要有人居住的地球。这些危险行为的地球造成了巨大的损害的人。地震破坏取决于面积中。如果一个无人居住的地区,会有低的生命或财产损失。如果打到一个大的城市,人口稠密,有可能是严重的损伤和破坏。地震的力量将树木连根拔起,把他们撞上建筑物。他们可能引发泥石流,导致洪水和海啸。建筑和结构也有风险。有趣的是,高大建筑物遭受的伤害最小如果他们直接在位于震中。这是因为他们可以承受上下运动的P波。S波,另一方面,发生远离震中,和造成最大应力的摇晃的建筑从一边到另一边。这些建筑往往把他们的基础。建筑物的墙壁厚,重不耐冲击波很好。大地震常引起建筑物倒塌,掩
45、埋了下面的人。砖建筑是最脆弱的。地球晃动有时不是最大的灾难。它是在随后的火灾和水灾,通常最大的损害发生。地震预测到现在几乎已在技术上是不可能的。随着技术的改进,生命得到拯救和许多更多。所有这一切仍然是研究发生了什么之前,期间和之后,地震。这是多年来的一点,一个成功的地震预报理论上是可能的。然而,准确预测地震可能需要更多年。7At the age of 21, Steve Jobs and a friend, Stephen Wozniak, built a personal computer called the Apple. The Apple changed peoples idea of
46、 a computer from a gigantic mass of vacuum tubes only big business and the government could afford to a small box used by ordinary people. NO company has done more to popularize the computer and make it user-friendly than Apple Computer Inc. Two years after building the Apple I, Steve Jobs introduce
47、d the Apple .The Apple was the best buy in personal computers for home and small business throughout the following five years. Steve Jobs was considered a brilliant young man in Silicon Valley, because he saw the future demands of the computer industry. “The personal computer was created by the hard
48、ware revolution of the 1970s and the next dramatic change will come from a software revolution,” said Jobs.Jobs was an orphan adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs in 1955. While still in high school, Jobs attended lectures at the Hewlett-Packard electronics firm. There he was hired as a summer employee an
49、d met another employee, Wozniak, who had a passion for inventing electronic devices. In 1972 Jobs graduated from high school and registered at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. After dropping out of Reed after one semester, he hung around the campus for a year, taking classes in philosophy. Early in 1974 Jobs took a job designing video games for Atari, Inc. But, he really had his eye on the commerc
