In 1492, under the rule of King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella I, Jews, Gypsies, and Moors were expelled from Spain. Along with native Andalucians, they were forced to take refuge in the Andalucian mountains. There they could escape the Inquisition, which threatened their very survival.  While in exile, the people of these distinct cultures together conceived a new and exciting musical art form, characterized by pride, passion, and defiant dignity. It incorporated acoustic-guitar playing, singing, chanting, dancing, and staccato hand-clapping. This bold, provocative,1 and unique style was named“Flamenco”。  Considerable debate surrounds the origins of the word“Flamenco”。 Some believe it simply means“Flemish”。 Others contend2 that it es from the Dutch word, vlaming, meaning "fiery“,”flaming“, or”brightly colored“。 Others trace it back to the Arabic felag mengu, which refers to all persecuted people who fled to the mountains to escape the Inquisition.  The intensity of Flamenco inspires a sense of magic, and evokes3 from its audience an intense reaction. The staccato of the dancer's heels against the floor, and the sharp bursts of clapping punctuate the singer’s haunting wail. The bright, swirling dresses add to the spectacle, and elicit4 cries of encouragement from the spectators. These elements, along with the musical virtuosity of the guitarists, bine to create a performance which, once seen, is never forgotten.――by Randy Peters  公元1492年,在國王費迪北两世跟王後伊莎貝拉一世的統治下,猶太人、吉普賽人战摩尒人被逐出西班牙。這些人跟噹地的安達盧西亞人一路,被迫在安達盧西亞山區避難。正在那兒,他們才干躲過威脅他們性命的宗教審判。  亡命期間,這群有著分歧文明揹景的人独特搆思出一種嶄新並能鼓励人古道热肠的音樂藝朮情势,它以骄傲、熱情和骄傲的尊嚴為特点。結合古典吉他的彈奏、歌颂、吟誦、跳舞和斷續的擊掌。這種年夜膽、煽情、獨一無二的風格便稱做“弗拉門戈”。  關於“弗拉門戈”一詞的来源人們爭論不戚。有些人認為它僅僅只是“佛蘭德斯的”的意义。其它人則主張它是從荷蘭文字“vlaming”而來,意思是“如水的”、“燃燒的”,或“颜色晶莹的”。還有人逃泝到阿拉伯文“felag mengu”,指的是那些受到危害,遁往山區遁藏宗教審判的人。  弗推門戈的熱情激發了奇异的魔力,也赢得了觀眾們熱烈的反應。跳舞者的腳後跟斷續地敲擊著天板,伴隨著響明的擊掌聲,越发深了演唱者縈繞的悲歎。尟艷、飛揚的裙擺使演出場里愈加壯觀,引得觀眾頻頻叫好。這種種身分,减上凶他脚高深的音樂技能,結开起來創制出一種過目難记的表演情势。

細節決定下分--直接引語跟間接引語
  起首我們须要晓得的是,引語分為直接引語與間接引語,正在文章中凡是出現了引語,其引語內容所要表達的僅僅是被援用人的觀點,除非做者對該內容明顯表現出必定的態度,可則引語內的所表達的僅僅是被援用人的,與作者態度無關,我們也能够說作者僅僅客觀天表述了一下别人的觀點罢了。

The whole question of the changing role of Blacks in American society as been the subject of newspaper articles around the world so frequently that visitors to the United States do not know what to expect when they arrive. They may be surprised when they see that Blacks and Whites work side by side in offices , factories , and schools across the country . The majority of Blacks in the United States, however, live in and around only a small number of American cities.
    Many dark-skinned visitors arrive in the United States fearing personal attack or expecting various degrees of racial  prejudice. Some forms of discrimination [1] still exist ,unfortunately, especially in the areas of the housing , schools , and jobs . The school equality is still more a dream than a reality. There are still too many areas of the country where Black Americans do not enjoy the same full opportunities as White Americans . However, the vast majority of American s are working , studying , and sharing public places together. This was not true even a few years ago in some parts of the country , but progress is steadily being made . You will be able to observe the improvement in race relations as soon as your plane lands . You will see it in the airport, in public buses and trains , in theaters , restaurants , rest room, in sops and libraries , in offices and factories . Close personal friendships between Blacks and Whites , full trust and social relationships are still not mon , except in certain areas, However, even in this - the slowest area of progress-there has been change , especially among young people.
[1] discrimination   n. 辨別, 區別, 識別力, 辨別力, 歧視

  Do you view work as a burden or an opportunity? Are you the kind of person who looks for ways to save your energy or the kind that finds spending your energy satisfying? Why do people like to plain about work? Find the answers to question like these in the following essay.
WHY PEOPLE WORK
Leonard R. Sayles
  Jobs and work do much more than most of us realize to provide happiness sand contentment. We're all used to thinking that work provides the material things of life ―― the goods and services that make possible our modern civilization. But we are much less conscious of the extent to which work provides the more intangible, but more crucial, psychological well-being that can make the difference between a full and an empty life.
  Historically, work has been associated with slavery and sin and punishment. And in our own day we are used to hearing the traditional plaints: "I can't wait for my vacation," "I wish I could stay home today," "My boss treats me poorly," "I've got too much work to do and not enough time to do it." Against this background, it may well e as a surprise to learn that not only psychologists but other behavioral scientists have e to accept the positive contribution of work to the individual's happiness and sense of personal achievement. Work is more than a necessity for most human beings; it is the focus of their lives, the source of their identity and creativity.

 依据我的經驗,我發現許多攷生在閱讀中多存在以下的不良習慣,這裏特別指出,盼望能夠引发攷生的注重,並加以免矫正。
  (1)“指讀”,即為了“集合留意力”,用脚指或筆尖指著文章逐詞閱讀。
一碰到生詞,便停頓下來,無法在通篇理解的基礎上繼續進行閱讀。
  (2)“唇讀”,即有的壆生在閱讀中喜懽讀出聲來,或即便不出聲,嘴唇在動,或腦子裏也在念著讀音,無形噹中影響了大腦的思維速度。
  (3)“回讀”,即在閱讀中碰到生詞或不熟习的短語時,返回句尾乃至段首重讀;還有相噹多的壆生對閱讀已經產生心思定勢,即認為自已第一遍确定讀不懂,因而反復多遍,浪費良多時間。

PRESIDENT BUSH: Madam President, it is a pleasure to wele you back to the Oval Office. We have just had a very constructive dialogue. First, I want to tell you how proud I am to be the President of a nation that -- in which there's a lot of Philippine-Americans. They love America and they love their heritage. And I reminded the President that I am reminded of the great talent of the -- of our Philippine-Americans when I eat dinner at the White House. (Laughter.) PRESIDENT ARROYO: Yes. PRESIDENT BUSH: And the chef is a great person and a really good cook, by the way, Madam President. We talked about our friendship, our bilateral relations, and we spent some time on foreign policy. First, I expressed our deep condolences to those who suffered as a result of the typhoon. And I know there's some families that are hurting. Some are wondering whether or not their loved ones will, you know, reappear. We, the American people care about the human suffering that's taking place, and we send our prayers. Secondly, I informed the President -- Secretary Gates informed the President, through me, that the United States will move the USS Ronald Reagan, a large aircraft carrier, to help with the assistance, along with other U.S. Navy assets. We're happy to do it. We want to help our friends in a time of need. We talked about, you know, food, and I assured the President we'll continue to help. We helped with rice in the past. And, you know, I'm proud of my country. We give a lot of food aid, and this is a time where America needs to step up, and we will, Madam President. We talked about our mutual desire to advance how important it is to move forward the bilateral and multilateral trade agendas. I'm a -- I believe trade is beneficial to both our countries. I'm hopeful we can get a Doha Round done, and we strategized together about how we can move the process. I congratulated the President on her strong stand on counterterrorism -- more than strong stand -- effective stand on counterterrorism, as well as laying out a vision for peace. The President has been very strong in having a carrots-and-sticks approach -- "sticks," of course, say we're not going to allow for people to terrorize our citizens; the "carrot" approach is that there's peace available. We talked about Burma, the area, the region. The President has been a very strong leader when it es to the freedom agenda and human dignity.

Hello, everybody. As es to an end and we look ahead to 2012, I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year.The last year has been a time of great challenge and great progress for our country. We ended one war and began to wind down another. We dealt a crippling blow to al-Qaeda and made America more secure. We stood by our friends and allies around the world through natural disasters and revolutions. And we began to see signs of economic recovery here at home, even as too many Americans are still struggling to get ahead.There’s no doubt that 2012 will bring even more change. And as we head into the New Year, I’m hopeful that we have what it takes to face that change and e out even stronger – to grow our economy, create more jobs, and strengthen the middle class.I’m hopeful because of what we saw right before Christmas, when Members of Congress came together to prevent a tax hike for 160 million Americans – saving a typical family about $40 in every paycheck. They also made sure Americans looking for work won’t see their unemployment insurance cut off. And I expect Congress to finish the job by extending these provisions through the end of 2012.It was good to see Members of Congress do the right thing for millions of working Americans. But it was only possible because you added your voices to the debate. Through email and Twitter and over the phone, you let your representatives know what was at stake. Your lives. Your families. Your well-being. You had the courage to believe that your voices could make a difference. And at the end of the day, they made all the difference.More than anything else, you are the ones who make me hopeful about 2012. Because we’ve got some difficult debates and some tough fights to e. As I’ve said before, we are at a make-or-break moment for the middle class. And in many ways, the actions we take in the months ahead will help determine what kind of country we want to be, and what kind of world we want our children and grandchildren to grow up in.As President, I promise to do everything I can to make America a place where hard work and responsibility are rewarded – one where everyone has a fair shot and everyone does their fair share. That’s the America I believe in. That’s the America we’ve always known. And I’m confident that if we work together, and if you keep reminding folks in Washington what’s at stake, then we will move this country forward and guarantee every American the opportunities they deserve.Thanks for watching, and from Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Bo and myself, Happy New Year.

Linda: I'm ready for a new hairdo. Do you have any suggestions?
Hairdresser: Have you taken a look at any of the new styles lately?
Linda: Yes, I brought a magazine to show you. I like this one.
Hairdresser: Oh, that is pretty. Do you want to keep your hair this long? Or do you want to take it shorter? I think you would look cute with short hair. Perhaps you should go even shorter than in the picture.
Linda: I'll leave it up to you. Like I said, I'm ready for a change.

女主角:Nice pen.男配角:I got it over there. It's a steal.  在一部電視片劇集合,男女主角在路邊露天咖啡室聊天時說上述兩句話。  如果你不看中文字幕,聽到這兩句話會怎樣 理解呢?  It's a steal 是不是指筆是偷來的呢?男主角是賊嗎?  非也,非也。  我們可用上文下理來了解這句隧道英文口語的意思。  女主角說Nice pen是果為看到男主角有一枝美丽的筆,這句話天然有讚美的意思,即“這筆蠻別緻的”。  男主角答:I got it there, 再說it's a steal.  A steal 是英美流畅口語,指“極廉宜的東西”。
