举一反三
注意:每空一词。
Most people who travel from China to the US find that,despite having studied English for years,they have to “re—learn” it upon arriving.
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 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(抱怨) 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 and,over time,I made such good progress that American friends started to praise my English as having “almost no accent’’.I took this as a sign of my success.Ever since.people have often mistaken me for someone from many places:the Midwest,the West Coast,China,Japan,South Korea.Most frequently,people think I am from California.
Suddenly,conformity (一致) was no longer a praise:If I talk like an American,am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent,do I also lose my cultural identity? Am I denying(否认)my past by being absorbed into(沉浸于)a new culture?
Now I realize that a person’s accent is a permanent(永久的)record of their past cultural experience and it is a mark of one’s experience and exposure to different cultures.
As a fourth-year student in the US,I am no longer a nervous foreigner.My nervousness has been replaced by a desire to hold on to my cultural origins.Now I consciously(有意识地)add some Chinese “accent” when I speak.I do not wish to speak “perfect” English because I am proud of who I am.

Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America . Americans will not live without cars ! However , some have realised the serious problem of air pollution by cars . It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution .
One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car . That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do . But to build a clean car is easier said than done . Progress in this field has been slow .
Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else . Engineers are now working on it . Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that can please man .
To prevebt the world being polluted by cars , They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike . But this change doesn’t close down ---- many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down . And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.

the context.
On the first day of classes at a Los Angeles high school, several American boys came up to a Chinese boy and said: “Hi, what’s up?” 48 hearing their greeting, the boy, 49 had just moved to the US with his parents, raised his head and looked at the sky.
This is a story told by David Chen, 50 31-year-old actor in Taiwan who recently launched a Sina mini-blog, on which he teaches easy English expressions.
“ 51 me, the mini-blog is like a mirror.When I read the comments, I see myself more clearly.”
Chen made a breakthrough last year 52 he had a double-eyelid surgery.“I like making changes and I think it’s necessary,” he said.“I know many fans like my pretty boy image.But now I’m growing up, I want to look rougher and 53 mature.”
“When you have a new haircut, you do not need to explain it.__54___ is just like changing your mood to do so–if you feel happy, that’s great,” said Chen.“Young people should realize
that sometimes you can just do what you want to do.You will eventually get support from others if you dare to be 55 .”

United Nations officials say now fewer people than they thought are infected with the AIDS virus.
Last year, the agency known as UNAIDS thought that 39.5 million people were living with HIV.On Tuesday it reduced by 16% to a little more than 33 million.
Agency officials say the low number reflects better information form more countries.The agency reduced the number for five African countries: Angola, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria and Zimbabwe.
Also, UNAIDS says it now believes the number of new HIV cases per year reached a high in the late 1990s at more than three million.This year, it thinks that 2.5 million people became infected, and 2 million people died of AIDS.
Luckily, better treatments are saving lives, and more people are getting the drugs.
Yet even as the number of new infections has dropped, UN officials say AIDS is still one of the leading causes of the death worldwide, and the major cause in Africa.African death rates remain high, they say, because treatment needs are not being met.Sub-Saharan Africa had almost 70% of the new cases of HIV reported this year.UNAIDS officials say this is a sharp reduction since 2001, but there is a need to further improve research method.
Billions of dollars are being spent preventing and treating HIV.Experts worry that the new number may lead to a drop in financial support.But UNAIDS officials say they do not change the need for immediate action and more money.They warn that in some countries, infection rates that were falling are rising again now.
