Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the onewho enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, heis fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in hislife be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is alwayspresenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people becausethey are too well-known. But a child has his pain: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do;he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay forhis food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spendsmost of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And ifhe breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison.If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greathappiness of building up for himself his own position in society.6.

The American inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, is believed to be the first person to use "hello"in the late 1800's, soon after the invention of the telephone. At first, people had greeted each other on the telephone with, "Are you there?" They were notsure the new instrument could really carry voices.第 3 页 （共 9 页） Thomas Edison, however, was a man of few words. He wasted no time. The first time hepicked up the phone he did not ask if anyone was there. He was sure someone was, and simplysaid, "Hello."Of course, there are other ways Americans greet one another. Not long ago, people oftensaid, "How are you?" when they first met someone. This later became "hiyah." Then, someonethought that two syllables were too much and "hiyah" became "hi". Laziness is a strong forcein changing language.Answering a telephone in America still presents problems, however. Telephone companiesthink that Thomas Edison's short "hello" is too long. "Why waste time?" the telephonecompany says. "Simply pick up the phone, give your name, and start talking."11. Which of the following statements is true? A. The word "hello" came into use even before the telephone was invented. B. People use "hello" not only in English-speaking countries. C. Thomas Edison was famous for his invention of "hello".D.

But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tellyou about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names--England, Britain or Great Britain. Let's see what each of these names means. If you look at a map of Europe, you'll see a group of islands-one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles(不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland(爱尔兰).Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word "England" in used instead of "Britain". Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one.England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.There's another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the UnitedKingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.” That is the official name of the country.Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is anindependent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of "England","Britain", "Great Britain", and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”Now do you know what each of them means?16.
