People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.

People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.

Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal （非语言的） communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out （突出）of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.

6. What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?

a. Englishmen usually live in homes instead of castles. b. The castle is more important than the home.

c. The home is more important than the castle.

d. The home matters greatly to Englishmen.

7. Which of the following is NOT the reason for most British to live in homes?

a. They can make changes in houses in which they live. b. They can keep the private space to themselves and friends.

c. They can own private space like the house and the garden. d. They love houses more than gardens.

8. According to Paragraph 2, if you spread your books around you in a library, it means ______.

a. you want to tell others the space belongs to you b. you want to put your coat on the table

c. you can find no space for your books on the seat d. you want to spread your towels around you further

9. How did the man opposite to the writer show he owned the whole table?

a. He placed his briefcase on the table.

b. He sat in a section for four people.

c. He was traveling on a train to London.

d. He was reading a book.

10. The writer tried to get back his space by ______. a. taking up the space of the man opposite

b. taking all his papers out

c. moving the case off the table

d. showing the books concerned to the man

篇二：unit 3 a young girl's impossible idealism

A Young Girl’s Impossible Idealism

Anne Frank was born in Germany, but at the age of four she escaped with her family to Amsterdam. Anne started to keep a diary on June 12, 1942--- her 13th birthday. Only a month or so later, Anne, her family , and some other German Jews had to go into hiding in a storehouse in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. For two years , eight people lived in fear of being discovered. No one else could come into their aid. Anne described the struggle and her dreams, analyzing herself with total honesty. “I have now reached the stage where I don’t care whether I live or die. What is going to happen will happen,” she wrote. In August 1944 it did happen----they were arrested by the Nazis and were sent to the camps. Only her father ---and her diary survived.

Anne Frank’s Diary was published on June 15 , 1952. The following is an adapted part of her diary entry of July 15 1944, about a month before the family was discovered:

“In its innermost depths , youth is lonelier than old age.” I read this saying in some book and I’ve always remembered it, and found it to be true. Older people have formed their opinions about everything, and don’t hesitate before they act. My wish is that young people could have our own ideas and hold our ground too. However, it’s twice as hard for us to do so , especially in a time when all ideals are being smashed and destroyed, when people are showing their worst side, and when we do not know whether to believe in the true the good , and the beautiful.

Many people havens realized how heavily we are weighed down by our problems---- problems we are much too young to find solutions to. That’s the difficulty in these times: ideals, dreams , and hopes rise within us, only to meet the horrible reality and be destroyed.

It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so impossible to carry out. Yet, I keep them, because in spite of everything, I have the belief that people are good at heart. The world going crazy, I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will eventually destroy us. I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens. I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty will end, and that peace will return.

In my heart there is always the wish that I could build my hopes on the foundation of confusion , misery , and death that I find all around me. Impossible as it seems, I must hold fast to my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.

Anne Frank is known for her diary, a record of a young girl’s struggle and dreams during World War Li. In this adapted part of her diary entry, she described her fears , desires and ideals. Europe in 1944 was a nightmare to many, especially the young. With all the ideals being ________, people found it hard to ________. They didn’t know what to __________, the truth or the horrible facts. Being a _________ with confusion, misery, and death, most young people found it hard to _________their ideals, as they seemed impossible to _________________.

However, __________ the cruelty and horrors around her, Anne chose not to _________, as she strongly believed that people _____________. She looked up into the heavens and prayed in her diary that some day things would ________________in this world.

without anybody coming to their aid, Anne and thousands of other Jews unavoidably become the target of the Nazis.

Anne Frank’s Diary is a mirror of history, reminding us that war is cruel and we should try our best to keep peace.

My Life as a Japanese Prisoner of War

In 1941, my life was happy and peaceful. We were one of the hundreds of Dutch families living in the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia. We had a nice home and a beautiful garden. I had a piano, books to read, and the prospect of high school to look forward to.

Suddenly , it was all taken away when the Japanese invaded. My father was taken prisoner , and we didn’t see him for four years. My mother, sisters and I were all sent to a camp on an island.

Although I was a teenager, I had to become an adult overnight, and had to spend the best years of my life as a prisoner of war. I was always hungry and often ill. I had to do heavy manual labor and was denied any proper education.

If it had not been for the people around me, for their courage and support, I would not have survived those years. My mother was firm-minded and her belief was that all the hardships should be over and all the evils should be destroyed. She had to do all the hospital laundry by hand, but she never complained. Our teachers were also an inspiration. They were people who devoted themselves to educating children , even in the hardest conditions. We had no textbooks and had to write on any paper we could find.

Then, there were those who gave their lives for others. The most heroic was a woman named Mrs Hoogeveen. One day in 1945, a dog with rabies wandered into the camp and started to bother two women. Seeing that, Mrs Hoogeveen ran to their aid immediately. She held the dog by the throat while one of the women killed it with a brick. Unfortunately , Mrs Hoogeveen was bitten during the process. When the symptoms of rabies appeared , she isolated herself and died a heroic and lonely death. She didn’t want to place anyone else at risk. Her actions saved the other two women and possibly more of us from being bitten.

When the war finally ended, we escaped immediately. We were fortunate because the camp was soon destroyed by bombs. Eventually we were reunited with Papa and, although we had no material possessions, we began to rebuild our lives together.

When people ask me if I hate the Japanese, I tell them that we can’t keep on hating. We can’t hate the present generation for the wrongs done by an earlier one. But there are lessons to be learned about war. War destroys everything beautiful. It kills innocent men, women and children and, in the end, there’s nothing left except great misery.

When you are in Hong Kong, you must be very careful in the street because the traffic drives on the left. It is different from that in other areas of China. If you are the first time to come to Hong Kong, you must look to the right side and then the left before you cross the street. If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. Then people on foot can cross the road carefully . But if the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go, people on foot mustn’t cross.

When people go to or come from work in the morning and evening, the streets are very busy. Traffic is the most dangerous then, especially (尤其)for the children.

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because the airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off which is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but it still takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city. I like travelling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually good in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way, though it takes a little more time. I also like cars. You can start your journey whenever you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
