Passage 1

A man got into a train and found himself sitting opposite a woman who seemed to be about thirty-five years old. Soon they began talking to each other, and the man said to her, "Do you have a family?"

"Yes, I have one son," the woman answered.

"Oh, really?" said the man. "Does he smoke?"

"No, he's never touched a cigarette," the woman replied.

"That's good," the man continued. "I don't smoke either. Tobacco is very bad to one's health. And does your son drink wine?"

"Oh, no," the woman answered at once. "He's never drunk a drop of it."

"Then I congratulate you, ma'am," the man said. "And does he ever come home late at night?" "No, never," his neighbor answered. "He goes to bed immediately after dinner every night." "Well," the man said, "he's a wise young man. How old is he?"

"He's six months old today. But he will grow up to be a gentleman," the woman replied proudly. 有个男人上了火车，坐在他对面的是一个看起来35左右的女人。很快他们开始彼此交谈起来，男人对女人说，“你有家庭吗?”

“是的，我有一个儿子。”那个女人答道。

“噢，真的?”男人继续问道，“他抽烟吗?”

“不，他从来不抽烟。”女人答道。

“真好”，那个男人继续道，“我也不抽烟。烟草对我们的健康有害。那你的儿子喝酒吗?” “噢，不，”女人立刻回道，“他滴酒不沾。”

“那我真的祝贺你，女士。”男人继续问道：“那他会晚回吗?”

“不，从不”，他的邻座说道，“他每天晚上一吃完晚饭就睡觉呢。”

“喔”，那个男人说道，“他真是一个一个英明的小伙子。他多大了?”

“他今天6个月大。但他长大后将会成为一个绅士。”那人自豪地说。

Passage 2

A film crew was at the Circle Five Ranch to film a Marlboro commercial. This was in 1868, set up the equipment. The scene included an actor crossing a river on horseback, but when the time came to shoot, the man was too drunk to ride. Someone from the crew saw Winfield and asked him if he would ride the horse for 50 dollars. "Hell," said Winfield, "for 50 bucks, I'll jump that damn horse over the moon!"

To people in many countries, Winfield is just a familiar but nameless face, a simple cowboy with an advertising message about a connection between the West and a brand of cigarettes. Few people know that he is 55, a family man who's been married to the same woman for 37 years and has 5 children and 7 grandchildren. Most surprisingly, he's a real, working cowboy who raises horses in his ranch in Wyoming.

One of the most striking things about the Marlboro Man is that success hasn't changed him much. He says that complete strangers sometimes come up to him and say, "I've met you,know you from somewhere. "Whenever it happens, he says that he gets embarrassed.

这是一部在圆五牧场拍摄的有关万宝路商业的电影。在1868年之前,美国电视还禁止播放香烟广告。达雷尔温菲尔德在剧组负责照看设备。场景原本包括一个演员骑着马过河，但到拍摄时刻，该名男子因喝醉而不能骑马了。有一个船员看到温菲尔德，并问他是否肯为50美元去骑马拍这个广告。 “该死， ”温菲尔德说， “为50美元，我将骑着这匹该死的马穿越月亮!

对于一些国家的人来说，温菲尔德仅仅是一个熟悉的，但无名的脸，一个将西部和香烟的品牌连接起来的平凡牛仔。很少有人知道他是一个55岁并且已经结婚37年的家庭主男，他有5个孩子和7个孙儿女。最令人惊讶的是，他是一个地道的牛仔，在怀俄明州的牧场养着大量的马匹。

有关万宝路男子最引人注目的事情是成功并没有改变他。他说，有时陌生人对他说， “我已经见过你，知道你哪儿来。 ”不论在什么时候，这样的事情发生时„他说，他都会感到尴尬。

Passage 4

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon(外科医生) and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling of pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all his pain.

Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.

Soon after 1770, Joseph Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.

Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.

Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.

当一个人不得不被外科医生开刀从身体里取出一部分的时候谁也不会高兴。然而，今天我们不再害怕手术中的疼痛。病人会处于熟睡状态，当他醒来时，手术已经结束了。而且这些好的条件已经深受大众所信任。做手术可以不再忍受其中的痛苦，这种情况已经好多年了。

很久以前，手术的全过程病人都有知觉。当医生给病人治病时，他们总会被强制绑在板凳上。如果他的腿或者胳膊被拒掉，所有疼痛他都得忍受，他痛苦的哭声传遍了整个屋子，也刺痛着关心他的人们的心。

很快，1770年以后，Joseph Priestley发现了一种气体，这种气体现在被称为“笑气”。在美国，笑气被广泛流传。青年人们在参加聚会时尝试了笑气。大部分人都在笑，但是party中有一个人，Horace Wells，注意到当他们使用了笑气时，他们并没有显得痛苦。他决定在自己身上做个实验。他叫了个朋友帮他。服了些笑气，他的朋友给他拔了一颗牙，一点也没有感到疼。由于他对笑气的了解还不充分，他给一个人服用了比应该用的量少一些的笑气。当他给这个人拔牙时，他因为疼痛而大哭。又试了一次，但是这次他给这个人服用过量，他死了。Wells永远都不能忘记这次恐怖的事件。

2.Long ago, when the sick man was operated on，he could feel all the pain.

3.Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to feel pain. 在用了笑气后，人们显得没那么疼痛了

5.One who took too much of the laughing gas would laugh all the time.

当人使用太多笑气时，他会一直笑

Passage 5

No one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and four thousand years ago. In time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, may have passed on the secret to the Arabs and Persians. The Persians called their dish Sharbat, from which our word sherbet(冰冻果子露) comes.

Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular, first in Venice and then throughout Italy.

In 1533, when Catherine de Medicis left Italy to marry the future King Henry Ⅱof France, she took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before. Among them was "ice cream". For each day of the wedding festivities(庆祝活动，庆典) Catherine's cooks prepared a different flavor of her favorite dessert-"ice cream."

At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Procopio's"ice-cream parlor " became so popular that other shops were opened.

About 1640, King Charles I introduced ice cream to England. He had heard it was popular in Italy and France. He served ice cream for dessert at a banquet. The surprise dish was a great success. The King ordered his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret. Charles felt that only royalty should serve the dessert. But the secret soon leaked out. Ice cream quickly became popular in England too.

没有人知道是谁制造第一块冰淇淋。一些人认为，用水做冰及用牛奶做冰，是中国人在三千年或四千年前发明的，传到印度。印第安人通过秘密的渠道传给阿拉伯人和波斯人。波斯人称他们是莎芭，用我们的话讲，叫冰冻果子露。
