高一语文周记 篇1今天上午，学校组织我们整个三年级去游世界之窗，我们坐着大巴车不一会就来了世界之窗的大门，此时我无比的兴奋！
一进世界之窗的大门，我就被眼前宏伟的建筑及精心设计的景点深深吸引住了，最引人注目的就是矗立在面前的`高大雄伟的埃菲尔铁塔，它是用钢铁焊接而成的，可共游人观景。听导游员说埃菲尔铁塔是法国最著名的标志性建筑物，高324米，而世界之窗的埃菲尔铁塔只有他的三分之一，可在我的心里，眼前铁塔已经无与伦比了！在导游员的带领下，我浏览了一个个景物，有美丽的喷泉、飞快的单轨车、泰国的泰王宫、缅甸的仰光大金塔、英国的白金汉宫、罗马的斗兽场、意大利的比萨斜塔??等等。数不清的世界各国著名建筑的缩影，精致极了！不知不觉我们来到了尼亚加拉大瀑布，远远的就听到了流水的声音，它位于美国和加拿大交界尼亚加拉河上，壮观无比！我们又来到了侏罗纪公园，里面有剑龙、翼龙、霸王龙??等等，仿佛让我回到了原古。
景点没看完，渐渐的到了下午了三点半了，该回学校了，我们只好依依不舍的离开了。如果以后有时间我一定再来，因为世界之窗是打开世界的一个窗口，让我了解了很多！
高一语文周记 篇2在我们的身边，也曾经有一些小事或正在发生：同学们因为作业多而长吁短叹；因为成绩不好而怨天尤人；两名学生为了一个荣誉而争得不可开交；吃饭插队引起众怒??
这些现象，有的我们曾听说过，有的亲眼见到过，更有的在我们自己身上发生过。面对这些，我可以把它归结于一种原因，即“内心不宁静”。试想，如果我们以宁静的心态去面对每一天，用微笑面对每件事，心中不会再有愤懑与急促，而是坦然与幸福，这正是“不以物喜，不以己悲”的和谐。
售货员收了假币，她吸取了教训；车主们到咖啡厅商议了赔付事宜，佩服对方的理智成了朋友；仇恨的双方相约恳谈，却发现是一场误会??
我们耐心认真地写了作业，全对；我们努力了，有进步了，便不后悔；大家投了票，虽然只有一个优秀，在我们心中有两个；排好了队，一会子便到了你。
于是，人们见了面都有舒心的微笑，朋友，哪儿都有，一个近乎理想的和谐社会，悄然地建立了起来！
高一语文周记 篇3今天的晚餐可真丰富呀!妈妈下班后，就一头扎进了厨房，忙得不可开交，不停地说：“小宝，小宝，快来帮忙。”于是，我也加入了“战斗”中……没过多久，菜就一个个地上桌了：有可口的鸡腿、香喷喷的油焖茄子，色彩鲜明的芹菜鸡蛋……这么多美味佳肴，看得我垂涎欲滴。爸爸说：“哇，今晚有这么多好吃的呀!我都不知道先吃哪样了。”
我不管三七二十一，挑了一个大鸡腿到碗中。爸爸半真半假地说：“别抢，给我留一块。再抢，揍你。”我才不听哩，还是继续抢，没一会儿，好几个鸡腿已经进了我的“肉仓库”。爸爸似乎也急了，也开始抢。一盘鸡腿一会儿就被我和爸爸吃了个精光。接着，我专“攻”油焖茄子，一嚼，汁水渗出，香辣可口，好吃极了。一会儿一盘又被我“搞定”了。妈妈要求道：“吃点青菜。”
《沁园春 长沙》 毛泽东
独立寒秋，湘江北去，橘子洲头。看万山红遍，层林尽染;漫江碧透，百舸争流。鹰击长空，鱼翔浅底，万类霜天竞自由。怅寥廓，问苍茫大地，谁主沉浮?
携来百侣曾游，忆往昔峥嵘岁月稠。恰同学少年，风华正茂;书生意气，挥斥方遒。指点江山，激扬文字，粪土当年万户侯。曾记否，到中流击水，浪遏飞舟?
《雨巷》 戴望舒
撑着油纸伞，独自
彷徨在悠长、悠长
又寂寥的雨巷，
我希望逢着
一个丁香一样的
结着愁怨的姑娘。
她是有
丁香一样的颜色，
丁香一样的芬芳，
丁香一样的忧愁，
在雨中哀怨，
哀怨又彷徨;
她彷徨在这寂寥的雨巷，
撑着油纸伞
像我一样，
像我一样地
默默彳亍(chì | chù)着
冷漠、凄清，又惆怅。
她静默地走近，
走近，又投出
太息一般的眼光
她飘过
像梦一般的，
像梦一般地凄婉迷茫。
像梦中飘过
一枝丁香的，
我身旁飘过这女郎;
她静默地远了，远了，
到了颓圮(pǐ)的篱墙，
走尽这雨巷。
在雨的哀曲里，
消了她的颜色，
散了她的芬芳，
消散了，甚至她的
太息般的眼光，
丁香般的惆怅。
撑着油纸伞，独自
彷徨在悠长，悠长
又寂寥的雨巷，
我希望飘过
一个丁香一样的
结着愁怨的姑娘。
人教版语文必修一必背课文：《再别康桥》徐志摩
轻轻的我走了，
正如我轻轻的来;
我轻轻的招手，
作别西天的云彩。
那河畔的金柳，
是夕阳中的新娘;
波光里的艳影，
在我的心头荡漾。
软泥上的青荇，
油油的在水底招摇：
在康河的柔波里，
我甘心做一条水草!
那榆阴下的一潭，
不是清泉，是天上虹
揉碎在浮藻间，
沉淀着彩虹似的梦。
寻梦?撑一支长篙，
向青草更青处漫溯，
满载一船星辉，
在星辉斑斓里放歌。
但我不能放歌，
悄悄是别离的笙箫;
夏虫也为我沉默，
沉默是今晚的康桥!
悄悄的我走了，
正如我悄悄的来;
我挥一挥衣袖，
不带走一片云彩。
《荆轲刺秦王》第9段 (选自《战国策》)
太子及宾客知其事者，皆白衣冠以送之。至易水上，既祖，取道。高渐离击筑，荆轲和而歌，为变徵之声，士皆垂泪涕泣。又前而为歌曰：“风萧萧兮易水寒，壮士一去兮不复还!”复为慷慨羽声，士皆瞋目，发尽上指冠。于是荆轲遂就车而去，终已不顾。
《纪念刘和珍君》鲁迅
二
真的猛士，敢于直面惨淡的人生，敢于正视淋漓的鲜血。这是怎样的哀痛者和幸福者?然而造化又常常为庸人设计，以时间的流驶，来洗涤旧迹，仅使留下淡红的血色和微漠的悲哀。在这淡红的血色和微漠的悲哀中，又给人暂得偷生，维持着这似人非人的世界。我不知道这样的世界何时是一个尽头!
我们还在这样的世上活着;我也早觉得有写一点东西的必要了。离三月十八日也已有两星期，忘却的救主快要降临了罢，我正有写一点东西的必要了。
四
我在十八日早晨，才知道上午有群众向执政府请愿的事;下午便得到噩耗，说卫队居然开枪，死伤至数百人，而刘和珍君即在遇害者之列。但我对于这些传说，竟至于颇为怀疑。我向来是不惮以最坏的恶意，来推测中国人的，然而我还不料，也不信竟会下劣凶残到这地步。况且始终微笑着的和蔼的刘和珍君，更何至于无端在府门前喋血呢?
然而即日证明是事实了，作证的便是她自己的尸骸。还有一具，是杨德群君的。而且又证明着这不但是杀害，简直是虐杀，因为身体上还有棍棒的伤痕。
但段政府就有令，说她们是“”!
但接着就有流言，说她们是受人利用的。
惨象，已使我目不忍视了;流言，尤使我耳不忍闻。我还有什么话可说呢?我懂得衰亡民族之所以默无声息的缘由了。沉默呵，沉默呵!不在沉默中爆发，就在沉默中灭亡。
高一语文学习方法：高效课文背诵法
1.抄诵法
读诗词或短文时先看一句抄一句，再看几句抄几句，最后看一段抄一段，直到看一篇抄一篇，也就是先读再抄，抄完再读。
2.时空法
记住要背诵的内容中表示时间方位顺序的词语，通过时间方位词来提示自己下一个段落的内容。
3.提纲法
根据背诵内容列出一个简单的提纲，然后按照提纲练习背诵。
4.情境法
创设具体情境，更容易理解和记忆内容。尤其是优美的诗歌与散文，运用此法效果更佳。
5.延伸法
背短文或诗歌，可从开头逐步延伸背诵，即背会第一句，背第二句时把第一句带上，背会第一二句，背第三句时再把第一二句带上，以此类推，直到全篇。
6.问题法
提出几个具有连贯性、系统性的问题，根据问题答案的顺序，帮助记取背诵内容。
7.关系法
背诵之前，先弄清文章的结构关系，例如先总后分、先分后总、总分总、总分等。还可以弄清楚每一段落中句子与句子的逻辑关系，如动静关系，远近关系等。
8.列表法
记忆时先将需要背诵的内容进行列表归纳，使繁杂的内容简单化、特征化、条理化，一目了然，便于举一反三，加深印象。
高一语文学习方法：阅读书籍推荐
第一，阅读人物传记。人物传记能够真实而全面具体地展示一个伟人的成长历程，在展示了一个我们没有的世界之后，也解决了很多人心中的困惑，这个非常适合高中学生来看。
第二，阅读古文言作品。比如《三国演义》《古文观止》《贞观政要》《资治通鉴》《孙子兵法》等。及早地阅读这些作品能打好古文学习的底子，在丰厚的底蕴熏陶下提升感悟能力。
第三，阅读中外经典作品。这个范围很广，高中生可以选择适合自己的书，要有感觉，可以做个旁批，留下年轻时自己的思想;也可以做个摘抄，启迪灵魂，召唤那个未知的自己。更可以朗诵、配音出来，演出心中的自己。不建议看网络小说，因为我们现在还是在成长阶段，需要的是经过年代印证的精华的滋润。
书籍分为好多类。例如，文化经典类，垂范千古的儒家经典《论语》，睹斯人风标，养浩然之气的《孟子》等;小说类，如最受中国人推崇的英雄传奇《水浒传》，正面描写抗日战争，讴歌伟大爱国精神的《四世同堂》，十九世纪初英国的关于爱与价值的经典故事《傲慢与偏见》，能影响你一辈子的书《谁动了我的奶酪》等;诗歌类，如《诗经》《楚辞》《毛泽东诗词鉴赏》《泰戈尔诗选》等都是不错的书籍;散文类，如《古文观止》《杨绛散文选》《毕淑敏散文集》;随笔杂文类，如《菜根谭》《人生哲思语编》等;人生修养类，如《曾国藩家书》《美学散步》《傅雷家书》等;人文名著类，如《左传》《史记》《资治通鉴》。
高一年级必修一必修二名著导读中列举了《巴黎圣母院》，涉及了苏东坡的《赤壁赋》，同时也涉及梁实秋的散文。高二年级可以读余秋雨的《文化苦旅》，梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》，雨果的《悲惨世界》等。
Mom: Yes, I can’t wait to surprise the boys!
Suddenly a door opens and a soccer ball flies through the room.Eric runs in after it, followed by a big dog, walking very slowly.Eric: Mom!Dad!You’re back early!(looking around room, sounding frightened)But, but---you weren’t supposed to come home until tomorrow!The dog slowly walks to Mom and Dad.Mom:(Bending to touch dog)Eric, he’s so tired and hungry!(looking at table)The money for dog food is gone, but Spot looks like he is starving!What did you do with the cash we left? Dad: And look at this room— garbage all over the place!Where is your brother?(shouting angrily)Daniel!Daniel:(running into room)Mom, Dad, I can explain---Dad opens the curtains and light comes into the room.The room is in a mess, with pizza boxes on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink.In the corner, there is a garbage can around which are pieces of garbage and waste paper.Mom and Dad both turn towards Daniel.Dad:(sounding very angry)listen to me, young man----we left you in charge? We thought you could act like an adult!I don’t know the reason why the house is so dirty---Mom: Daniel, we thought you were an adult, a person from whom we could expect good decisions.Dad: How can we trust you any more? We won’t tolerate such behavior in our house!
Daniel:(shouting)Stop shouting at me.I’m still a teenager!Why is everything always my fault? Daniel runs into his bedroom and slams the door.Mom and Dad look at each other as lights go out.Act two, scene one Daniel and Eric’s bedroom.Eric sits on his bed.Daniel has his arms crossed and looks upset.Daniel: They never even gave me a chance to explain.I hate them!Eric: You don’t hate them.I can tell them we had an emergency.Then they won’t be mad anymore.Daniel: No, don’t tell them anything.Anyhow they didn’t trust me.They don’t deserve an explanation.Let them think what they want.Eric: But Daniel, if they knew that Spot was sick and we used the money to take him to the clinic---Daniel: And that we spent all of yesterday waiting there for him and that is why we had no time to clean the house---but no, Eric, why didn’t they ask me what happened instead of shouting at me? Act two, scene two Mom: Do you think we were too hard on Daniel? Perhaps there is a reason why the house is a mess…
高一第一学期
1.People from all walks of life When a person grows up, he will take up different occupations in various work places.A society is thus made up of all walks of life.What kind of person do you want to be in the future? The following introductions may give you some idea.TEACHER Teachers are professionals.They work in schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions.They try their best to help students gain new knowledge and become useful people in society.Teachers are involved in many tasks, such as explaining lessons, giving homework and correcting papers.At the end of every term, they mark test papers and give grades to their students.Actually teachers do more.Often their impact on students stays all through their lives.SURGEON Surgeons, like teachers, are also professionals.As a special group of doctors, surgeons operate on sick people and repair the organs that no longer work properly.Hospitals are their work places.After an operation, a surgeon takes care of the patient’s medical treatment until he gets well.The skills of a surgeon sometimes mean the differences between life and death.SECRETARY A secretary works in an office.The job of a secretary often involves writing letters, answering telephone calls, and receiving people.A secretary stores information on a computer and puts papers in good order in file cabinets.As a link between the boss and the visitors, a secretary also helps the boss work out plans and timetables.Traditionally, more girls than boys work as secretaries.In some countries parents often decide what careers their children will follow---especially their sons.Tchaikovsky, the composer of Swan Lake, was asked to study law.He, however, didn’t take an interest in it.Tchaikovsky made a great decision on his own.He gave up his government service later and started to study music.Some people think the young are probably going to be successful because they are doing the things they most want to do in life.Many people, however, disagree with them.3.Michelangelo Michelangelo was an Italian artist about 500 years ago.Today he is still remembered as a great sculptor, painter, and architect.Michelangelo came from a poor family.He was trained at an early age like any other craftsman in Italy.At thirteen, he started to work and learn in a workshop.The workshop belonged to one of the leading masters at that time.In the workshop Michelangelo was able to learn all the skills of sculpture.However, he wasn’t satisfied, and went on to study the work of the great masters of the past.Michelangelo worked hard and he mastered one problem after another.By the time he was 30, he was generally regarded as one of the outstanding sculptors of the age.In 1508, Michelangelo was given a task---to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.At first, he tried to turn down this job, saying that he was not really a painter, but a sculptor.Finally, he agreed to do it.He then shut himself up in the chapel, let no one come near him, and got ready to work alone.It took him four years to complete the paintings on the ceiling.Any ordinary person would find it hard to imagine what Michelangelo had gone through in those four years of hard and
edges.“I have a system,” explains Jim, “so that I can find things easily in the darkroom.It’s a simple system.I just keep my materials in order and put them back in the same place after I use them.I don’t have to search for anything.”
“Jim is quite capable and can be trusted,” says his boss, “I wouldn’t have him working here if he weren’t.And that brings me to the question of handicapped people.You can’t let yourself get upset about them.They want to be treated just like anybody else---and they should be.They don’t want you to fell sorry for them.”
No one has to feel sorry for Jim Corrigan.5.Starting a conversation with a foreigner in English As you rode on the bus one day, a foreigner sat down beside you.Finally, here was a perfect opportunity for you to practice speaking English with a foreigner, you thought to yourself.But no words came into your head.You were tongue-tied!After 15 minutes, the foreigner got off the bus and you didn’t utter a word!“What a shame!” you said to yourself.If you have had such an experience, don’t feel bad.You’re not alone.What you need is a lesson in small talk.Here are some tips that will show you how to get started.“HELLO”---A STARTER First, exchange a “Hello” or “Hi” with the foreigner, but at the same time, pay close attention and see if he feels like chatting.Watch his facial expression and body language for cues.Having said his “Hello” or “Hi” in return, does he just stare out of the window or keep reading the book in his hand? That’s the cue for you to stop moving on.Don’t force a conversation on someone who wants to be left alone.But what if the person stops whatever he is doing and looks back or smiles at you?
If guests don’t answer the invitations on time, the host cannot possibly plan for the correct amount of food and drink.This may lead to hundreds or even thousands of dollars of waste.“Everybody has a busy schedule now,” Boone says.If you know you are forgetful when it comes to making phone calls, try emailing your RSVPs as soon as the invitation arrives.RSVP is the short form of the French phrase “répondez s’il vous plaît”, meaning “Reply, if you please”.The following are some commonly used terms in invitation letters and their meanings.Be sure to know these and answer invitations properly.RSVP, REGRETS ONLY Only guests who can’t attend need reply.You need to give a proper reason why you can’t attend.RSVP BY… Guests should respond with yes or no by the date indicated on the invitation.Setting a date gives guests a deadline.It is also a deadline for the host to connect guests who haven’t reply.RSVP BY E-MAIL Guests can respond by e-mail.Unlike phone calls, e-mails can be sent without regard to time of day or location.7.Holidays and festivals in the United Kingdom There are many national holidays in the United Kingdom.Among them, Easter, and Christmas are two of the most famous.EASTER The date of Easter varies each year.It usually falls in March or April.During the Easter holiday, people give each other chocolate Easter eggs.The eggs are opened and eaten on Easter Sunday.On Good Friday(the day before Easter, when Christians observe
observe the coming of New Year on January 1.Cultures in Asia and Middle East use other calendars, such as the more ancient lunar calendar.They celebrate the New Year at other times.Events and ceremonies vary from country to country.But in each places, New Year celebrations are a big meal.Most world cultures have been celebrating the New Year for centuries.The earliest New Year celebrations took place during spring or harvest time.With better weather ahead, or plenty of food to eat in winter, people naturally felt like having a party!As the days became longer and as nature renewed itself, people also felt like they could have a new start.Past disappointments could be forgotten.The New Year could bring better fortune, more opportunities and new challenges.Such universal themes remain the same today.Some cultures have unusual New Year traditions.Italians throw old things out of their windows at midnight, symbolizing the departure of the old.Mexicans fire guns into the air to keep away misfortunes.New Year celebrations also involve having fun.Some cultures view the New Year as an opportunity to let off fireworks.In New York City’s Times Square, thousands gather on December 31 to count down the last seconds of the year.A giant silver ball is lowered at the stroke of midnight.London, England, hosts an annual New Year’s Day parade that draws nearly a million spectators.The largest parade in Europe, it features bands and enormous balloons.These balloons are so huge that they tower over nearby buildings!
in the depths of winter.Dogs are indeed man’s best friends.Yet sometimes even the friendliest dog can bring death with its bite!This is not because it has changed in character, but because it has been infected with a terrible disease---rabies.The disease is passed on by a bite from an infected dog at any stage.When an infected person shows symptoms, death is certain to follow shortly after.So, in order to prevent the disease, a person should go to a doctor at once if he has been bitten by a dog.Dogs remain man’s best friends, but we should also try our best to guard against the horrible disease that can be carried by these friends.10.Well done, Spotty!We were walking alone when we saw the Wilkins’ children playing in their yard.The three girls were taking turns pushing a cart.Their one-year-old twin brothers and a big doll were in it.Just as we walked by them, a wheel came off.Freckles, my friend, fixed it for them.Then they all went upstairs to play some games.After a while Mrs Wilkins went out, and left the twins with the girls.Well, it wasn’t much fun for me, and soon I went to sleep.I must have slept pretty hard and pretty long.All of a sudden I woke up and could hardly breathe.Everybody was gone.The room was full of smoke!The house was on fire!I started down the stairs and stumbled over a gray bunch.“That belongs to Freckles,” I thought.“It’s the gray sweater that he likes so much.I might as well take it down to him.”
I took the sweater in my mouth and started down again.It weighed so much.So I dropped it on one of the stairs.Then I went back up to look out of a window.I wanted to see why there was so much noise.1picture in the reader’s mind by showing one or two aspects of an event.There is a cartoon that shows a father and his son.The boy is showing his father his school report, which, unfortunately, gives a very poor grade---2 out of 5.So he does it in a quite unusual way: the report is fastened to one end of a pole while the boy is holding the other and.With the long pole between them, any punishment from the father is out of the question.For the moment, at least, the son is safe.Readers can’t help laughing at the cartoon.But they may also find some food for thought in addition to being amused.Reading cartoons and comic strips had long been a favourite pastime for adults until the beginning of the 20th century.Then some business-minded people found that there might be a good market for children, too.With the improvement of printing and drawing techniques, modern cartoons and comic strips had become children’s favourites by the early 20th(around the 1920s).Since then they have become popular reading materials for people of all ages.Today the characters in cartoons and comic strips range from children to adults, pets to fancy animals, and ordinary people to superheroes.Micky Mouse and Garfield the Cat make children think and imagine actively.Superman and Batman bring villains of all sorts to justice.Father and Son expresses human love and sympathy in lively comic strips.Their names have become household words.They are only a few outstanding products in the field.Today the digital revolution has brought new life to the making of cartoons and comic strips.Therefore many people think that computer-made comics will in the end replace hand-drawn ones.However, just as the human mind will never give way completely to the computer, hand-drawn comics will never die, but will remain a special means of expressing human
3cover story perhaps describes the artist’s own life experience.With this experience, Rockwell could make every detail come alive in this painting.13.A brief look at two metropolises NEW YORK In the 19th century, a businessman predicated that New York was going to become the centre of the world.His prediction has partly come true.Today, New York is often regarded as one of the financial and cultural capitals of the Western World.The United Nations has its headquarters in the city as well.New York, where the world-famous twin towers of the World Trade Center were once located, is known as a city of skyscrapers.There are parks, great museums, art galleries, grand theatres and cinemas for visitors as well.However, like many other cities in the world, New York also has its own problems---noise, air pollution, crimes, traffic jams, and slums.Still, the fast, exciting pace of life in New York City is fascinating and this may be a reason why the city continues to fascinate more and more people.LONDON London was once known as a city of fog.At that time, many Londoners did not expect that their city would change for the better.However, heavy fog is now rarely seen in London.As a city with a long history, London has also gone through many changes.The days are gone when horse-drawn carriages were a common sight in the street.Now London is famous for its excellent underground service and the red double-deckers have become a symbol of the city.The second half of the 20th century saw great changes in the city.Skyscrapers have sprung up;business centres for the 21st century are also growing fast.However, London has kept its heart.People can still enjoy themselves with a cup of tea
515.The growth of the Internet The Internet began as a tool to connect universities and government research centres through a nationwide network.It would allow a large number of computers to exchange information and share resources.Its development was pushed forward by ARPA---the Advanced Research Projects Agency, which was established in the United States in 1958.In 1969 ARPA began to focus on communications technology.Then in the early 1970s, the ARPA net came into being.This network laid the foundation for the Internet.In 1972, electronic mail was introduced.At the same time in Europe, researchers were struggling with their own computer networking problems.In 1989, a scientist proposed the World Wide Web project.Over the next year or two, the proposal was discussed and revised, which resulted in the programme called the World Wide Web.In 1992, its browser software was introduced to the public.The early browsers functioned well but were not “user-friendly”.In 1993, a group of graduated students in the USA created Mosaic---a “browser” programme.Mosaic was pleasing to the eye and easy to use---just point and click.Netscape and then Microsoft followed with browsers that greatly simplified the process of surfing the Internet in search of information.Today, the Internet is changing our life style, cultural patterns, business practices, and ways of learning and doing research.It helps people keep up to date on world events, find a cheap flight, play games, and discuss everything from apples to space technology.An increasing number of people shop and bank on the Internet;many do business online.It enables people to browse online hundreds of thousands of magazines and books in libraries
7read all the data in Prince Philip’s electronic mailbox before the police discovered the hacking.The possibility for hackers to commit crimes is great.In the 1980s some experts pointed out that American banks were losing up to $5,000 million a year to computer crimes.Once a hacker gained entry to a bank’s system, he could order it to move large sums of money to another bank in a foreign country---just what a traditional robber would do.Today computers are making life easier and far more comfortable.The evils, however, are also growing with the development of computer knowledge and techniques.It seems that the struggle against computer crimes will continue into the future.高一第二学期
17.Travelling around China Travelling around China can be tiring but fun as well.However, how you travel often determines whether your travel will be a success or a failure.Here is some information about how it can be done.Most parts of China can now be reached by rail.Generally speaking, the train service is efficient.However, the trains are sometimes overcrowded, especially on national holidays.The kind of ticket you need depends on the distance of your journey.A hard or soft seat is fine for a short journey.For long journeys, a sleeper ticket is a better choice.number of sea routes exist that can take you from one seaport to another along the coast of China.There are also a few inland waterways.The most attractive one is that from Chongqing to Shanghai.Along this route ships pass through the famous Three Gorges and
9and Jia Jia, can now be sighted at their permanent habitat in Ocean Park.SHARK AQUARIUM Through the underwater viewing tunnel, you seem to enter the mysterious deep ocean, surrounded by countless sharks and rays of over 30 species, all swimming within arm’s reach.OCEAN THEATRE With a panoramic background and hosted by a marvelous master of ceremonies, the Ocean Theatre stages entertaining performances by its great and small marine stars.When time permits, visit a jewelry factory workshop to observe the art of handicraft.NOTE This is a half day guided tour.However, passengers may stay behind to explore more features in the Ocean Park.Return trips on our afternoon coach can be arranged with your tour guide.19.The Sydney Harbour Bridge There’s no feeling quite like seeing Sydney from the top of the Harbour Bridge.There I stood, looking up at Sydney’s Harbour Bridge---one of the most famous bridges in the world.Located near the magnificent Sydney Opera House, the 40-storey bridge towers over Australia’s largest city.The bridge was certainly beautiful to look at.But who in their right mind would want to climb it? Me, of course!Climbing the bridge is not such a crazy thing to do, in fact.Tourists started climbing the bridge in 1998.Now it’s one of Sydney’s most popular attractions.To prepare for the climb, our group of 12 climbers had to take a special class.First, we stored all our personal belongings and changed into special bridge climbing clothes.Then, the climb organizers showed us how to use the safety belts and climb the steep ladders.1Thailand’s tourist bureau says that it is “in the nature of the people.” The Thais are naturally happy, he says with a smile, and they are glad to share that happiness with others.This attitude seems to be very much appreciated by the more than five million tourists who visit Thailand each year.The country ranks high on the list of places to which visitors want to return.The reason most often stated is that the people are friendly and polite.Some other Asian destinations are not as well received.Bali in Indonesia ranks high on the list, with Japan somewhere in the middle.These reports raise the question of whether certain nationalities are naturally more courteous than others.People may experience more friendliness in Thailand than in other countries.This may have more to do with the place than the people.Travel writers point out that cities are always stressful, hurried places, with little to offer in the way of smiles and welcome.Bangkok is not as friendly as other places in the surrounding Thai countryside.Remote towns and villages in China, for example, offer visitors a warm welcome, with smiles(and giggles)from children.Perhaps it should also be pointed out that polite, patient, smiling visitors will most often be greeted similarly, no matter which country they are in.21.Using English properly If you don’t want to offend someone, you’d better know which English words to use---and which to avoid.Imagine that you’re in a restaurant in America.You want some water, so you called out “Waitress!” A waitress comes to your table, but she’s clearly unhappy.What did you do wrong? You may have offended her by calling her a “waitress.” Today, many people prefer the word “server” to “waitress.”
3people do change with the times.22.Tips for English learning Language letter-boxes in quite a few English newspapers are often filled with letters complaining about such problems as “I don’t know to improve my pronunciation and intonation.The English vocabulary is too large to handle.” Or “I find my spoken English most worrying.Please tell me how to improve my communication skills!”
At the same time, in some newspapers, there are ads for “Shortcuts in Mastering English,” “A 24-hour Programme of Success in Spoken English” or “Recipe for English Fluency,” and so on.A lot of teachers of English try to help fight learners’ worries by saying that the road to successful communication is clearly signposted---practise, practice and practice.If there are few such opportunities in your day-to-day life, make them up: form clubs or learning groups, and practise talking to each other.Expose yourselves to an English radio broadcast, a tape recording, a film or a video: let it be a topic or a context for discussion.Even when you are alone, try to have some practice.You can never lay too much emphasis on the importance of “input” for language learning, so reading newspapers and listening to the radio are good habits to cultivate.One thing, however, is very important: the “input” must be appropriate for your level.Something too difficult is useless, while spending time on something too easy will be pointless.And remember this: there isn’t a cure-all for all of you.One shortcut may work for some of you, and another probably has a positive effect on others.Only one method works for everybody---and that is, to use English!

You just couldn’t put your finger on it as to why.Deep down inside yourself they gave you a strange feeling.I’m not going to call myself a body language expert, but I think I can hive you my advice on how to read the most complicated language of all: body language.YOUR MOVES SELL YOU OUT.So for starters, think about yourself.Have you ever stopped for a moment to watch the way that you move your body? Well, believe it or not, the people you are talking to are watching your every move.They watch your eyes, your facial expressions, the way you hold your posture.In fact, the way you move can tell a lot about what kind of person you are … or what kind of person you appear to be.WHAT CAN BODY LANGUAGE TELL? In most Western countries, making eye contact with anyone you talk to is very important.If you don’t make eye contact, you might be judged as dishonest or even rude.Then there’s posture.If your actions are very confident, you will appear to be confident to others.And, the rate that you speak can also tell others something.If you talk too fast, you’re nervous, while too slow probably indicates that you are unsure of yourself, and that maybe you are shy.I’M CONFUSED WITH “SPACE” IN CHINA.As a traveler, I have been confused time and time again with every place I visit.This is mainly because I misunderstood the body language
7During rehearsals, to get what he wanted from his orchestra, he would sometimes stamp his feet, snap his baton and tear his store to pieces.He tried to make use of every means to interpret music.Once he found himself at a loss when trying to describe to an American orchestra a very light effect in a passage(his English was poor).After thinking hard for a while, he drew a white silk handkerchief from his pocket and threw it into the air, watching with the orchestra as it floated to the floor.“There!” he said.“Play like that!”
Toscanini drove himself as hard as he did his orchestra.If the orchestra met his demands, he would weep for joy.Otherwise, he would not spare them from punishment.If he himself made a rare mistake, he would slap his own face in front of the orchestra.He would not spare even himself from punishment.Toscanini would shout at anyone who dared talk during the performance or, even worse, arrived late.All through his life, Toscanini was anti-fascist.In1931, he was physically attacked for refusing to play the fascist anthem and for protesting against Hitler’s ban on Jewish musicians.He dropped his baton in 1954, and died in 1957 at the age of 90.26.An interview with a pop pianist Robin Gordon(RG), a journalist, interviews a very rich and famous pianist, James Newman(JN), who has a way of playing classical music in a wildly romantic manner.He is well known for his strange clothes as well.RG: Actually, you don’t let the chance slip through your fingers when you chose music as your career.JN: No, the entertainment world is full of opportunities.When any of them turns up and comes
9JN: Yes.I decided to play Bach and Chopin in a very unusual style.Meanwhile I started wearing fancy clothes.RG: I guess your father didn’t approve of all this.JN: Right.Dad’s a bit old.He wanted to make a classical musician of me!He didn’t understand me.RG: Even though you are so successful? JN: No.Many people don’t.RG: Perhaps it takes time.Thank you, Mr.Newman.27.Stunts in movies On the screen, the US actor Tom Cruise is throwing himself through a glass window as a large car explodes behind him;the actress Helen Hunt is running from hurricanes as homes and cows are swept up.And, of course, there is Stallone doing…everything.It seems to be popular these days for actors and actresses to do their own stunts in action movies, and the fact is that the big names are indeed doing more stunts.According to a director, some actors do as much as ninety per cent of their own stunts, while the last ten per sent are generally left to stunt professionals.These are the men and women who make a living risking their lives on behalf of the big names in action movies.However, there is an exception.The only actor who does any allow anyone else to do his stunts is Jackie Chan, the Hong Kong phenomenon.He takes pride in doing all the stunts in his action movies.Jackie Chan has been doing his individual brand of dramatic martial arts for fifteen years.He is no doubt a walking miracle of physical endurance.Of course, along
1released in 2004, showed the potential and limitations of digital actors.The movie’s digital characters looked and acted surprisingly lifelike.But somehow they still reminded audiences of cartoons, and their “acting” was less than inspiring.Final Fantasy’s digital magic also cost moviemakers a fortune.Just creating human-looking hair cost about $20 million.And despite people’s initial excited reaction, it performed poorly at the box office.The film, which cost $137 million to make, lost about $80 million.Moviemakers have been much more successful at creating non-human characters.The Lord of the Rings trilogy features a digital creature named Gollum.Though not human, Gollum gives a very moving performance.Surprisingly, this collection of pixels manages to effectively show a wide range of human emotions.The Matrix: Reloaded features the most perfect digital humans so far.These lifelike digital creations appear widely throughout the movie.In fact, audiences can never be sure which actors are real and which are digital.So should Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and all their Hollywood friends start looking for another line of work? Not necessarily.Many popular movie directors say digital actors will never “act” as well as humans.Digital actors must also rely on gifted human actors for their voices.29.Front page news Millions of newspapers are sold every day throughout the world.What section of the newspapers on a newsstand catches your eye?
