109、it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversation?”So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain (雏菊花环) would be worth the trouble of getting up and
110、picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.There was nothing so very remarkable in that; but when the rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that
111、 she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the bush.The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for s

113、hat was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon hooks.
114、 She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labeled “ORANGE MARMALADE”, but to her great disappointment it was empty; she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.Down, down, down.

129、nners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically non-existent. It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside to take the last remaining seat on the underway or bus. This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men, who
130、 say that since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with politeness and that those who go out to work should take their turns in the rat race like anyone else. But women have never claimed to be physically strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, the fact remai
131、ns that courtesy(礼节) should be shown to the old and the sick. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently(冷漠地) reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves, “First come, first served” while a grey-haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple
132、(残障者) stands? Yet this is all too often seen. Older people, tired and impatient from a days work, are not always considerate either far from it. Many arguments break out as the older people push and squeeze(挤)each other to get on buses. One cannot approve this, of course, but one does feel there is
133、just a little more excuse. It seems urgent, not only that communications in transport should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistants wont bother to
134、 assist; taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously around corners; bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have time to get on or off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it is up to the young to do their small part to stop such lowering of moral standards.T

180、shed by engine.More than 20,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.
181、Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to $50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the drivers responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the fron

They trick us, cost us cold hard cash, disturb us from driving properly and are unfair.Well, heres a surprising thing: what
288、 if there were facts that the boring cameras actually saved lives? Its a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at whats happening in France, a country with a historically poor record of road safety.There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in France for example, but that dropped to 8412 by 1995 f

Comparing road deaths to population in 2005, thats about 817 per million people com

In many cases our expectations are unrealistic, and this often has to do with
305、 how long we think things should happen. If we take a longer view, and relax our expectations a little, it can really help to decrease discouragement. The reality is that most things that are worthwhile take a lot of effort and time to come to fruition. So be patient!当我们的期望（我们觉得应该发生的事情）没有变成现实（实际发生的事
306、情），我们就会失望。在很多情况下，我们的期望都是不切实际的，这也和我们对时间的预估有着一定的关系。如果我们从长远去看，放低一下期望，也能有效减轻我们的失落感。事实是最值得我们付出努力和时间最重要的事情就是等着好结果。所以耐心点吧！一 短语翻译1. belong to _.2. on ceremonial occasions _.3. the traditional way of life _.4. as for _.5. contrary to _.二、完形填空I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in

Parents greet their children as soon as they are born, and its not long before babies know who is who among the people in the
315、ir everyday lives.After only a few months, babies work out systems of greeting for meeting people they know and those who are unfamiliar. Have you ever seen a four-month old baby staring at you? Have you smiled and said “hello” to the baby? Then have watched the babys little frown at it realizes tha

Either the baby will begin to make strange noises and cling to its caregiver, or it will jerk its head in such a way that its whole body moves, and smile at you.The baby has learned to greet people and to respond to greetings at an very early age. What it has learned is the m
317、ost important aspect of a greeting: the facial and body gestures that accompany the smile. These are signals that indicate friendliness.Secondly, there is the intonation（语调）in the voice. Greetings are said warmly, with an expression anywhere between bight quickness and easy-going friendliness.The th

These indicators are the same all over the world.There may be a little difference in the words used, but “Good day”, “ Bonggiorno”, “Nihao”, “Bonjour”, and “Guten Morgen” all contain t
319、he word “good”. The common greeting from other languages is translated into English as “Good day” or “hello”. “Konnichi-wa” means “good day.”There are thousands of languages and cultures around the world, but though the words are different, they mean the same. And they are accompanied with friendly
