Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you." Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!" Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked L ove. "But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

Pennsylvania—When Connie Beck and her husband awoke to strange noises last weekend, they thought high winds were rattling (使……发出响声) their home.
What they found was even more unexpected: A deer was taking a bubble (泡沫) bath in their bathtub.

Somehow he managed to turn on the water in the bathtub and knock over a bottle of bubble bath into the bathtub. He then got himself into the bubbly water.

“A guy said, ‘There’s nothing wrong… he’s just in there taking a bubble bath,’” Mrs. Beck said.
The animal was soon brought under control, removed from the house and released.
“He was unharmed except for a little cut above the eye,” said Mrs. Beck. “We were also fortunate. There wasn’t much damage, except for the front door, some marks on the tub, and a few hoof (蹄) prints on the floor.”

Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly, The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.
Certain microorganisms (微生物) cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things give out poisons that make people sick.
Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepaid. For example, many farmers spray(喷) chemicals on crops to kill weeds(杂草) and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.
Some plants and animals have natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include
certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.
When people deal with food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms mix up rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from gnawing(侵蚀). Meat needs to be cooked completely to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may have nat ural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.
Most people become well again from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.
42. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Food when poisoned can make people sick. B. Food poisoning means death.
C. There are different kinds of food poisoning. D. Food poisoning can be serious.
43. Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT .
A. some chemicals B. low temperatures
C. some tiny living things D. certain natural materials
44. From Paragraph 5, we can learn that _________.
A. mushrooms should not be eaten
B. vegetables are safer than meat and seafood
C. natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicals

Many Chinese who travel to the US find that though they have studied English for years, they have to “re-learn” it as soon as they arrive.
Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here. To truly be part of the “melting pot”, fluency(流利)in English is not enough. You need an accent(口音) to stand out.
When I first came to the US for graduate school, 1 was a nervous foreigner.I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was “different”. To talk like an American became one of my goals.
During my first term as a teaching assistant(TA), my students complained they could not understand me. I learned later from a study that this complaint was common among US students with an international TA. It is called the “Oh, no!” syndrome (情绪、举动), “Oh, no! Not another international TA, and not that accent again!’’
So I imitated(模仿) the way native speakers talk over time, I made such good progress that American friends started to think highly of my English as having “almost no accent’’. I took this as a sign of my success. Ever since, people have often thought of me as someone from many places: the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea. Most often, people think I am from California.
Suddenly, conformity (一致) was no longer a praise(表扬): If I talk like an American,am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent,do I also lose my cultural identity(身份)? Am I denying(否认)my past by being lost in a new culture?
Now I realize that a person’s accent is a ever-lasting record of their past cultural experience and it is a mark of one’s experience.
As a fourth-year student in the US, I am no longer a nervous foreigner. My nervousness has been replaced by a wish to hold on to my cultural origins. Now I add some Chinese “accent” on purpose when I speak.I do not wish to speak “perfect” English because I am proud of who I am.
My Feeling of Speaking English in America
