From them all Mark Twain gained a keen perception of the human race, of the difference between the people claim to be and what they really are. His four and a half a years in the steamboat trade marked the real beginning of his education, and the most lasting part of it. In later life Twain acknowledged that the river had acquainted him with every possible type of human nature.(Áýͳ)
(2)Early the next morning I met a polite and elegant man wearing fine clothes. After a one-hour flight, we spent the day visiting attractions along with hundreds of other tourists, most of them overloaded with cameras and souvenirs. I remember feeling disdain for this collection of ogling humanity.
(3) Along the way, conventional wisdom(³éÏó£¾ßÌå) suffered yet another series of defeats. No wave of terrorism greeted the American campaign, though fanatics will surely strike again. Neither foreign troops nor suicide bombers paralyzed U.S. and British forces. Saddam Hussein could not mount a deadly and costly Stalingrad defense in Baghdad. The Arab \not rise. Many people insist that Arabs are being colonized again by western powers in search of oil. No surprise there. But there is dissonance in that message now. It is hard to explain that the dread crusaders have taken over again when everyone can see the Iraqi people exulting over fallen statues of Saddam. (conventional---following what has been customary)
(4) Today the ancient, ancestral wisdom of the hand has been largely replaced by the simple movements of the machine operator; our glass and china, furniture, book, and textiles are almost entirely products of the machine. That machine-made goods can be well designed and good-looking no one now denies; nevertheless, there are many who believe that if the old skills of the handworker were to die out altogether it would be a disaster.
(5) But our respond to these signals is puzzling. Why do some images startle us into immediate action and focus our atte ntion on ways to respond effectively? And why do other images, though sometimes equally dramatic, produce instead a kind of paralysis, focusing our attention not on ways to respond but rather on some

convenient, less painful distraction?
(6) Move with Confidence
When you walk, do so purposefully as if you belong. Keep your chin up and your shoulders back. Try to maintain an even, deliberate stride. Don?t drag or shuffle your feet. Make sure you don?t point your feet outward when you walk. It?s hard to be confident when you look like a duck. People will often tell me, ¡°I knew you were the instructor by the confident way you walked into the room. You acted like you were in charge. ¡±

(10) The Earth is surrounded by a blanket of gases called the atmosphere. This traps
heat and air around the Earth making it possible for life to exist.
(11) Drift nets hang from the surface. They trap fish that try to swim through them. (12) Fin Trap: Lionfish use their long, spiny fins to steer small fish into the sides of
the coral reef where they hunt. When the fish are cornered, the lionfish pounces. (13) Because man is the only known reservoir of the smallpox virus, the disease
should be eliminated forever when the last infected person recovers.
(14) The room was easily traced by the noise that was coming from it. It didn't sound
a studious noise.
(15) But what hurt me most was that in the middle of the room sat a very
studious-looking boy reading a book. ? ²ÎÕÕ¿ò¼Ü¿ØÖÆ

(16) I knew a little more than I had that summer at Diamond Lake, but I could not
reach her now any more than I had then. I was ashamed, ashamed of my own timidity, the frightened tendency to look the other way. Yet I felt no real warmth towards her---I only felt that I ought to, because of that distant summer and because my father had hoped she would by company for me, or perhaps that I would be for her, but it had not happened that way.
(17)Smallpox, the most devastating and feared pestilence in human history, is making
its last stand in two remote areas of Ethieopio, one in the desert and one in the mountains.
(18)Their own teacher had been sick for a long time: a succession of startled
substitutes had stood before them, ducked, winced, and fled. (NoºÍYes µÄÖ¸´úÕÕÓ¦)

(20) He had been anxiously looking round him for an aristocratic face, in order that he
might tell him what he thought, but could not recognize lord this or duke that. No! No! (Àà±ÈÕÕÓ¦)
(21) It had been a fine, golden autumn, a lovely farewell to those who would lose their
youth, and some of them their lives, before the leaves turned again in a peacetime fall.
(22) He(the manager)had gathered from my mysterious manner that I was a detective.
I knew what he was thinking and it made me worse. (My Financial Career) (24) Fear of Dearth (Àà±ÈºÍÐÅÏ¢»Ø²¹)
I hate jogging. Every dawn, as I thud around New York City's Central Park reservoir, I am reminded of how much I hate it. It's so tedious. Some claim jogging is thought conducive(help to produce , others insist the scenery relieves the monotony. For me, the pace is wrong for contemplation of either ideas or vistas. While jogging, all I can think about is jogging---or nothing. One advantage of jogging around a reservoir is that there's no dry-shortcut home.
From the listless looks of some fellow trotters, I gather I am not alone in my unenthusiasm: Bill-paying, it seems, would be about as diverting. Nonetheless, we continue to jog; more, we continue to choose to jog. From a practically infinite array of opportunities, we select one that we don't enjoy and can't wait to have done with.
(25) Few of us like to be told that we?re average, and Americans are no exception. Far
worse, however, is to be told that we, or the things we do, are typical of our nation. (Äæ±ÈÕÕÓ¦)
(25) In 1864 a treaty---The Convention of Geneva---was signed and the Red Cross
came into being. The design of its badge, a red cross on a white field, was obtained by reversing the colours of Switzerland.

(27) I struck up a conversation with kid, trying to establish some kind of rapport, I
touched on hippies, pop music, dating, morality and so on. She contributed very little.
(28) The glow of the conversation burst into flames. There were affirmations and
protests and denials, and of course the promise, made in all such conversion, that we would look it up on the morning. That would settle it; but conversation does not need to be settled; it could still go ignorantly on.

(30) I wanted to say to her, Are you certain your publisher is telling you the truth? Publishers are human. They may sometimes exaggerate the virtues of the young and the pretty. Will The Chelsea Set be read in five years? Are you prepared for the years of effort, 'the long defeat of doing nothing well'? As the years pass writing will not become any easier, the daily effort will grow harder to endure, those 'powers of observation' will become enfeebled; you will be judged when you reach your forties, by performance and not by promise.
(31) It was Mrs.Packletide's pleasure and intention that she should shoot a tiger. Not
that the desire to kill had suddenly come to her, or that she felt she would leave India safer than she had found it, with one wild beast less. (¹²Ö¸ÏîÕÕÓ¦)
(32) Modern medicine owes a great deal to the discovery of certain tiny disease-carrying organisms. Louis Pasteur was the discoverer of bacteria. Much later, scientists discovered viruses. But it was left to scientists of our won time to develop powerful killers of these hateful micro-organism.
(33)The impulse towards culture, the desire to express and explore the world through imagination and representation is fundamental. In Europe this desire has found fulfilment in the masterpieces of our music, art literature and theatre. These masterpieces are the touchstones for all our efforts; they are the touchstones for the possibilities to which human thought and imagination may aspire; they carry the most profound messages that can be sent from one human to another.

(34) I was toying inwardly with ideas of thunderbolts, earthquakes, mass executions.
But in old blood I could think of no practical substitute for these dramatic punishments.
(35)There is more to their life than political and social and economic problems; more

(36) The low angle of the winter sun throws long, dramatic shadows.
(37) Safe in Schools: Some fish swim in big groups called schools. This helps
confuse predators, so they don?t know which fish to attack. They might even think the whole school is a much bigger animal. ? Ô̺¬¹ØÏµ¿ò¼Ü(¸÷ÖÖÔ̺¬¹ØÏµ£º)
