IT‘S UNFAIR
Jenny was a good girl, but she had one shortcoming.She was often late for school.One morning when she came in late, Mr Black, her teacher, got angry.
\"I‘ll write to your father if you aren‘t here on time tomorrow,\" he told her.Jenny didn‘t want him to do that because her parents were very strict with her.
The next day she got up very early and went to school without breakfast.When the bell rang, she was waiting in her seat.The door opened and the teacher came in.But it wasn‘t Mr Black.It was Mi Green.Mr Black was ill, so she was taking his cla instead.How disappointed Jenny was!
The next morning Jenny got up even earlier.After a quick breakfast she hurried to school.Just before she got to the school gate, she stopped.There was a wallet lying on the ground.
She picked it up.\"Whose is this?\" She wondered.
As she stood there, she heard the first bell.\"What shall I do?\" She asked herself.\"I‘ll turn it in first,\" she decided.And so she did.
When she hurried into the claroom, Mr Black was a
1 lready beginning his leon.
\"Jenny White,\" he said as soon as he saw her.\"Didn‘t I tell you to be here on time?\"
\"I‘m sorry, sir,\" Jenny tried to explain.\"I was late because I had to„.\"
\"I will not to listen to any excuse,\" Mr Black stopped her.\"If you can‘t get here on time, I will have to write to your father.\"
\"But Mr Black, that‘s„that‘s unfair!\"
\"Unfair! How dare you say that?\" Mr Black said angrily.\"I‘ll report you to the headmaster!\"
\"I was trying to do a good deed,\" Jenny thought, \"and now„\" she couldn‘t keep back her tears.
As soon as the bell rang for the break, the door opened and in came Mr Smith, the headmaster.He was holding a wallet in his hand.\"Excuse me, Mr Black,\" he said, \"but is this wallet yours?\"
\"Why, yes.It is mine.\" Mr Black was surprised.\"I didn‘t know I lost it.\"
\"One of our girl found it and turn it in just before school started,\" Mr Smith said.
\"Oh? Who was it?\" Mr Black asked.\"I must thank her.
2 \"
\"It was Jenny White.\"
Mr Black‘s face slowly turned red.He looked at Jenny and said, \"I‘m very sorry, Jenny.I take back what I said.\"
\"And I‘m sorry, Mr Black.I‘ll try not to be late again,\" Jenny said.

THE SEAGULLS OF SALT LAKE CITY
Salt Lake City is a beautiful city in the west of North America.The name comes from a great lake nearby.The city lies in a valley with high mountains all around it.But long ago there was almost nothing in this place and were very few people living here.
More than a hundred years ago, a group of men, women and children moved from the east to the west.They had travelled a long way.At last these brave people came to the great mountains by the salt lake.They croed the mountains and reached this quiet place.They decided to stay here, and so they built their homes and made their farms.This was where Salt Lake City now lies.
The people had to work hard on their farms, because their lives depended on their crops.
One day while they were working in their field, some farmers saw something strange in the sky.
\"Whats that?\" asked one of them.
\"Where?\" asked another, as he stopped to look.
\"Over there, \"was the reply.
They saw something like a cloud coming, but it was
4 too low in the sky.As they watched, it came nearer and nearer.Suddenly a shout went up: \"Locusts! Millions of them!\"
The words put fear into the heart of all, because they knew what locusts could do, and they had never seen so many of them before.
In no time the locusts came down and started eating and everything - the wheat, the corn, the gra and the leaves on the trees.
The farmers brought out things to fight the locusts.They tried everything.But while they were killing the locusts in one place, millions more arrived in another.What could the farmers do?
Suddenly there was a great noise.As they looked up, they saw another cloud coming towards them.To their surprise, they saw not locusts this time, but seagulls.The farmers cried out, \"Theyve came to eat what the locusts have left。\"
But to their joy, they found that the seagulls had come to eat not the crops, but the locusts.They had seen or smelled the locusts and had come from the Salt Lake City.Now they were eating the locusts! In a short w
5 hile they ate up millions of them.The farmers crops were saved.
The people were very thankful.They decided that from then on no one should ever kill a seagull.And today, if you go to Salt Lake City, you can see a monument with seagulls on top of it.这是1983年10月第一版初中英语第五册第5课《盐湖城的海鸥》。

NATHAN HALE The young American stood quietly while the British guards searched his clothes.They found nothing.“If they don’t find the maps in my boot,” he thought, “maybe they will let me go.Then I’ll try to send the maps to General Washington.”
“Take off your boots,” one of the guards ordered.The American’s heart beat faster.He took off his boots and handed them to the guard.
The guard looked inside one boot, then the other.
“Use your knife, man!” ordered the British officer nearby.
The guard brought out his knife and cut one boot open.He stopped suddenly and the American knew what it meant.The maps of the British army’s defence works!
The guard took the American to General Howe.The general looked at the maps.“I see you’ve made some drawing of our defence works,” he said.“This can only mean one thing.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Do you have anything to say to yourself?”
“No, nothing.”
“What’s your name?”
“Nathan Hale.”
“Rank?”
“Captain.”
The general studied the maps a few more minutes.“Captain Hale,” he said finally.“I’ve never seen such fine drawings.You know, we could use a man like you.Why not join us? You won’t have to worry about rank or pay.”
Nathan Hale looked straight at the general.“Nothing could make me turn against my country!”
“Then there’s only one thing I can do, you understand?”
“Yes, sir.”
“You will be hanged as a spy early tomorrow morning.”

Nathan Hale looked around as the British soldier put the rope around his neck.
“Now, Nathan Hale.” said the British officer.“Let’s hear what you have to say before you die.”
Nathan Hale took a last look at his beautiful country and said, “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”

9 A QUESTION OF PRONOUNCIATION This happened in London.It was November and the weather was very wet and cold.
A Frenchman had caught a very bad cold.He coughed day and night.So he decided to go and get some medicine for his cough.As he did not know much English, he got out his dictionary and looked up the word “cough”.But the dictionary did not tell him how to pronounce the word.He thought it over and remembered that he had learned the word “plough”.He remembered that it was pronounced [plau].So he thought that c-o-u-g-h must be pronounced [kau].
Then he put on his coat and hat and went to a chemist’s shop.When the man in the shop asked him what he wanted, the Frenchman said:
“I want something for my cow, please.”
The man in the shop looked at him.Had he heard him correctly?
“I beg your pardon, sir?” he asked.
The Frenchman repeated: “I want some medicine for my cow.”
“For your cow?” asked the man.“Are you a farmer?”
“A farmer?” said the Frenchman in surprise.“What makes you think I’m a farmer? I come from Paris.I’m not a farmer.”
“Where’s your cow, then?” asked the man in the shop.
“It’s here!” replied the Frenchman.He put his hand on his chest and began to cough.“Here it is!” he said.“I’ve a very bad cow here.”
Then the man in the shop understood what the Frenchman meant.He wanted some medicine for his cough.

THE ARAB IN THE DESERT An Arab was walking alone through the desert when he met two men.The men looked worried.It seemed that they had lost something.The Arab went over to them.
“Have you lost one of your camels?” he asked them.“Yes,” they said.
“Was he blind in the right eye and lame in the left foot?” asked the Arab.
“Yes, he was.”
“Had he lost a tooth and was he carrying corn?”
“Yes,” said the men.“Please tell us where he is.”
“I don’t know where he is,” said the Arab.“I’ve never seen such an animal.”
“Did someone tell you about him?”
“No.”
The two men looked at each other in surprise.They could not believe the Arab’s words.Finally, they came up close to him, took hold of him, and shouted:
“Where’s the animal? And what have you done with our goods?”
The Arab insisted that he had never seen the camel.
13 At last the men took him before a judge.They said that the Arab had stolen their camel.
“I’ve never seen their camel,” insisted the Arab.“But I’m a man of the desert, and I’ve learned to look carefully at everything I see.This morning I saw the tracks of a lost camel.I knew this because there were no man’s tracks near those of the camel.I also saw that the camel must be blind in the right eye, because he had only eaten the gra on his left side and had not touched the gra on his right.The animal was lame because with one foot he left a track much lighter than any of the others.He had lost a tooth, because wherever he ate gra, there was always a small space left untouched.I also found groups of ants near the tracks of the camel.They were pulling pieces of corn.From these facts I was able to tell what goods the animal was carrying.”
The judge and the two men were satisfied with what the Arab had said.Together the four men set out to look for the lost animal.

从前，有个商人走失了一只骆驼，他很多地方都没找到，心里很着急。这时候，他看见一位老人在前边走，就赶上去问：“老人家，您看见没看见一只骆驼？”
老人说：“你问的那只骆驼是不是左脚有点跛？”
“是的。”
“是不是左边驮着蜜，右边驮着米？”
“不错。”
“是不是缺了一颗牙齿？”
“对极了！您看到它往哪儿去了？”
老人说：“那我可不知道。”
商人忿忿地说：“别骗我了，一定是你把我的骆驼藏起来了。要不，你怎么知道得这么详细？”
老人不紧不慢地说：“赶嘛生气呢，听我说嘛。刚才我看见路上有骆驼的脚印，右边深、左边浅，就知道骆驼的脚有点跛。我又看见路的左边有一些蜜，右边有一些米。我想骆驼驮的一定是这两样东西。我还看见骆驼啃过的树叶，上面留下了牙齿印，所以知道它缺了一颗牙齿。至于骆驼往哪儿去了，你应该顺着骆驼的脚印去找。”
商人听了，照着老人的指点一路找去，果然找到了走失的骆驼。

\"Why, of course, Mum!\" the baby crocodile said.
\"Well then, you catch the monkey and give me his heart to eat.\"
\"But how can I?\" the baby crocodile asked.\"Monkeys can\'t swim, and I can\'t climb trees.\"
\"You needn\'t climb the tree,\" his mother said.\"Use your head, then you will find a way.\"
The baby crocodile thought hard.Then he had an idea.He swam near the tree and shouted, \"Hey, Monkey! Would you like some bananas?\"
\"Bananas! Mm! I love them,\" said the monkey.\"But where are they?\"
\"On the other side of the river.There are some banana trees there, and they have lots of bananas on them.
18 I\'ll take you there on my back.\"
\"Good,\" the monkey came down and jumped onto the crocodile\'s back.
Soon they were in the middle of the river.Suddenly the crocodile went down under the water.When he came up again, the monkey was all wet.\"Don\'t do that!\" The monkey cried.\"Don\'t do that again! I can\'t swim, you know.\"
\"I know, but I have to,\" answered the crocodile.\"My mother wants to eat your heart.\"
The little monkey was clever.\"Why didn\'t you tell me earlier?\" He asked.
\"My heart isn\'t here with me.I left it in that tree over there.\"
\"Then we\'ll have to go back for it.Mother doesn\'t want you without your heart.\" The crocodile turned and swam back to the bank.
Soon they reached the bank.The monkey jumped off the crocodile at once, picked up a big stone and quickly climbed up the tree.The crocodile waited for the monkey to come down again.As he was waiting, he suddenly heard a voice from above:
\"Hey, Crocodile!\"
The crocodile looked up.The monkey was hanging from the tree by his tail and laughing.
‘Here\'s my heart.Come up and get it.Don\'t keep your mother waiting„You can\'t come up? Well, catch!\'

DOLPHIN LANGUAGE One day Mr Green, the science teacher, asked his cla, \"What do you want to be when you grow up?\"
\"I want to be a dolphin trainer like my uncle,\" Mike answered.
\"Why do you want to be a dolphin trainer?\" asked Mr Green.
\"Because I’m interested in dolphin language.\"
\"Dolphin language? Tell us more.\"
\"All right,\" answered Mike.My uncle tells me that dolphins are very clever.One day my uncle saw a sick dolphin in the pool.It couldn’t come up for air.So it whistled to the other dolphins for help.They came to their friend and made some strange sounds.They looked sad.Then together they pushed the sick dolphin’s head up above the water.Soon it got well.\"
Mike went on with his story.
\"Some scientists once said to my uncle, ‘if you live with a dolphin and talk to it all day, maybe you can teach it some words.’ My uncle decided to do that.He lived with a dolphin.The dolphin loved to play ball so he decided to teach the word \"ball\" first.He threw a
23 ball to the dolphin and said the word \"ball\" many times.Soon the dolphin started to say the word.\"
When Mike finished, John asked, \"Can dolphin learned to speak Chinese, too?\"
Mike said, \"I think so.They’re like children.Children learned their first words in the language of their parents.Maybe a Chinese can teach a dolphin its first words in Chinese.\"
Kate asked, \"How do they make sounds?\"
Mike didn’t know.
\"They make sounds through blowholes in their heads,\" said Mr Green.\"Scientists know a little about dolphin language, but they have a lot more to learn.\"
\"That’s why I want to be a dolphin trainer,\" said Mike.这是1983年10月第一版初中英语第四册阅读材料3《海豚的语言》。感谢网友张先生输入文本。

STANDING ROOM ONLY Look at your watch for just one minute.During that
1 time, 239 babies were born in the world.Perhaps you think that isn’t much.In the next hour, over 14,000 more babies will be born on the earth.So it goes, hour after hour.In one day people have to feed about 340,000 mouths more.Just think how many more there will be in one year! What will happen in a hundred years?
The population problem may be the greatest one of the world today.Two thousand years ago, there were only 250 million people on the earth.Four hundred years ago, the figure was over 500 million.By the beginning of this century, however, the world’s population was about 1,700 million.In 1970, this figure was over 3,600 million.People say that by the year 2,000, it may be 8,000 million.According to a UN report, in about 600 years there will be standing room only on the earth.【原注】①根据美国人口咨询社1981年资料推算。

32 THE ARAB AND THE CAMEL Once an Arab was travelling on his camel.When the sun started to go down, he stopped and set up his tent.Then he made a fire, ate his meal and lay down to sleep.
Suddenly it began to blow.It became colder and colder.The camel put his head into the tent.\"Master, could you let me put my head in the tent? It\'s so cold outside.\"
The Arab was a kind man.\"Why, yes,\" he said.\"Put your head in and get warm.\"
Then he went back to sleep.But before long, the camel woke him.\"My head is warm now, but my neck is cold.Could I bring it inside, too?\"
\"All right,\" the Arab said.And the camel put his neck in.
There wasn\'t much more room in the tent now, as the camel had a long neck.
Again the Arab went back to sleep, but again the camel woke him up.\"Master, I really must ask you to move over a bit.I\'ve warmed my head and my neck, but I\'d like to bring my front legs inside and warm them up, too.\"
33
The Arab moved over.He had to sit up now, for there wasn\'t enough room for him to lie down and sleep.
\"What next?\" He wondered.Just the camel said: \"This tent is really too small for both of us.Besides, my other two legs are still out in the cold.Why don\'t you go out and leave the tent to me?\"
And with that, the camel kicked the poor man out.
Give a greedy person an inch and he will take a foot.

\"Come with me, please.\" said the artist.They went to the artist\'s workroom.There the king saw piles and piles of paper.On every piece of paper was a picture of a horse.\"It took me more than a year to learn to draw a beautiful horse in five minutes.\" the artist said.

One day, Mr Ampère went out for a walk in the street.There were a lot of people and much noise there.But all this was nothing to him.He was thinking of a maths problem.He had no paper with him.How could he work it out?
Just then, he saw a blackboard in front of him..He ran up to it at once.He took out a piece of chalk and wrote his problem on the blackboard.Then he started to work on it.The blackboard moved a little, but he did not notice it.The blackboard moved on.Mr Ampère moved with it.The blackboard started to move faster and faster.Mr Ampère could not keep up with it any longer.He stopped to have a look.
What did he see? Why, the \"blackboard \" was NOT a blackboard.It was the back of a carriage!

A PAGE FROM A STUDENT\'S DIARY October 22nd, Saturday Cloudy
There were no claes this afternoon.My clamates all went to the Summer Palace.They had a good time, but I didn\'t go.
After lunch Aunt Huang came in.She looked worried.\"Grandma is ill,\" she said.\"I must take her to the hospital.But my baby, ...I can\'t leave her by herself.\"
