When you read a story in English, do you read it for the storyforthe English? This is a question
is not so
(fool) as it mayseem, for I find that many students of English pay far more attention to the story thanto the English. For instance, they care for how the mystery in the story
(solve), but do not remember a single sentence in the story and cannot tell what preposition is used before a certain word in the speech of a certain character.
Of course, if you want to know the story only, you need not(bother)about the language. But a student of English is different
a student ofstories or
is called the general reader. As you may also have learned fromthe above, you ought to read not only very carefully but also aloud
you learn the passage by heart and can recite it as if it
(be)your own. On
hand, this will teach you m any useful words and phrases; on the other hand.it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in expression.

Thanks to a combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, today’s Nanjing has an of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been only a few decades ago. , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II.
Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year, travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.
Signs of Nanjing’s wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen, the father of modern China, looks over a busy area.
There is perhaps no more symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.
Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and student population — there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school. In fact, art and music in all sorts of places.
On a larger , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.

No one would be willing to pay one-third of the price for the packaging or wrapping of what he or she purchases. But over-packaging has become a disease that leads to an __50__ waste of resources and __51__ environmental pollution.
The wasted packaging materials are __52__ to be worth about 280 billion yuan annually. And such packages and wrappings thrown away by customers __53__ up half of the volume of solid waste in cities. __54__, it is high time that regulations were __55__ to stop enterprises from spending too much on unnecessary packaging and wrapping.
To produce paper packaging or wrapping, many more trees have to be cut down. Over-packaging also limits the interest of consumers when they have to spend quite a high percentage on something that they will have to throw into the dustbin. The simple truth is that the more a producer spends on packaging, the __56__ the products it sells will be.
Product packaging and wrapping used to be very simple 30 years ago. "Shabby" was the word many had used to __57__ the way Chinese products were packaged. And shabby packaging was blamed for making Chinese products __58__ in the international market.
It is __59__ to pay enough attention to packaging or wrapping products in such a manner that they can be __60__ to customers' eyes. But that does not definitely justify that packaging should even outshine what is inside.
In the Chinese proverb, “maidu huanzhu,” the buyer returns the pearl and just keeps the case because the __61__ is too fancy and luxurious. It not only laughs at the poor __62__ of the buyer, but also criticizes the unnecessary __63__ the seller has made in making the case. Another message from the proverb is that over-packaging helps cultivate an __64__ consuming attitude - to buy fancy-looking stuff but not what they really need.

How long can human beings live? Most scientists who study old age think that the human body is1to live no longer than 120 years. However, 110 years is probably the longest that anyone could hope to live -- if he or she is2healthy and lucky. Some scientists even say we can live as long as 130 years! Yet, our cells simply cannot continue to reproduce3. They wear out, and as a result, we get old and4die.
Even though we can't live forever, we are living a5life than ever before. In 1900, the average American life span (寿命) was only 47 years, but today it is 75 years!
When does old age begin then? Sixty-five may be out-of-date as the6line between middle age and old age. After all, many older people don't begin to experience physical and mental7until after age 75.
People are living longer because more people8childhood. Before modern medicine changed the laws of nature, many children died of common childhood9. Now that the chances of dying10are much lower, the chances of living long are much higher due to better diets and health care.
On the whole, our population is getting older. The11in our population will have lasting effects on our social development and our way of life. Some people fear such changes will be for the worse, while some see12, not disaster, many men and women in their "golden years" are healthy, still active, and young in13if not in age.
As the society grows old, we need the14of our older citizens. With long lives ahead of them, they need to15active and devoted.

The requirements for high school graduation have j
ust changed in my community. As a result, all students must 36 sixty hours of service learning, 37 they will not receive a diploma（文凭）. 38 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. During a service experience, students must keep a journal and then write a 39 about what they have learned.
Supporters state that there are many 40 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 41 their own interests and become aware of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 42 responsibility, problem-so
lving, and working as part of a team. Finally, students can explore possible careers 43 service learning.
For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in a primary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 44 there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） point out problems with the new requirement. First, they 45 that ,because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 
46 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 47 goes against the law.
In my view, service learning is a great way to 48 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 49 , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the 50 to help must come from the heart. I think the best solution is one that gives students choices. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility.
