Saving Lives At a pre-med university in St. Louis, we had to take a difficult class in physics. One day the professor was discussing a particularly plicated concept. A student rudely interrupted to ask "Why do we have to learn this stuff?" "To save lives." The professor responded quickly and continued the lecture. A few minutes later, the same student spoke up again. "So how does physics save lives?" he persisted. "It usually keeps the idiots like you out of medical school," replied the professor. 救人 在圣路易斯的一所医学院预科大学，学生必须修一门很难的物理课。
一天，教授正在探讨一个特别复杂的概念，一个学生粗鲁地打断他的话，问道：“为什么我们一定要学这种东西？” “为了救人。”教授很快回答，继续讲课。
几分钟后，那个学生再次大声坚持：“那么物理怎么救人呢？”教授回答：“它通常可以把你这种笨蛋赶出医学院。” The World's Greatest Sword *** an At an exhibition of the world's best sword *** an, the third-place fencer took the stage. A fly was released, and with an arc of his sword he cut the fly in half. The crowd cheered. Then the second-place man sliced a fly into quarters. A hush fell in anticipation of the world's greatest sword *** an. His blade came down in a mighty arc - but the insect continued on its way! The crowd was aghast. The greatest sword *** an had missed his target pletely, yet he continued to *** ile. "Why are you so happy?" someone yelled. "You missed!" "Ah," replied the sword *** an, "you weren't watching very carefully. They fly lives, yes - but he will never be a father." 世界上最伟大的击剑手 在一场世界最佳击剑手表演中，排名第三的击剑手上场了。
一只苍蝇放了出来，剑划了一个弧，他将苍蝇劈成了两半。观众欢呼起来。
紧接着排名第二的人将一只苍蝇切成了四半。现场一阵沉默，人们期盼着世界上最伟大的击剑手出场。
他的剑锋以一个巨大的弧线划了下来--然而那只昆虫还在继续飞行！观众被惊呆了。最伟大的击剑手完全错过了他的目标，然而他还在微笑着。
“你为什么这么高兴？”有人嚷道，“你没击中！” “啊，”剑手答道，“你刚才没有很仔细地看。苍蝇还活着，是的--但他永远也做不成爸爸了。
Will and Bill were quarrelling about whose father was the stronger. Will said, "Well, you know the Pacific Ocean ? My father's the one who dug the hole for it." Bill wasn't impressed, "Well, that's nothing. You know the Dead Sea ? My father's the one who killed it!"。

高温天气下树木会污染环境
Normally, trees are the best defence against pollution; but when it's too hot outside, the trees' own self-defence mechani *** may actually make things worse.
正常情况下，树木是抵御污染的最佳卫士，但是当外界温度过高时，树木自身的防御机制实际上可能会令污染状况恶化。
Trees produce natural chemicals, called isoprene and terpene, that are thought to protect their leaves from too much heat and sunlight. When the chemicals react with nitrogen oxide--found in pollution from cars--they form ozone, a much bigger health threat to humans and animals.
树木分泌的天然化学物质异戊二烯和萜烯被认为可保护树叶免受过多热量和阳光的伤害。然后，当这些化学物质与氮氧化合物（存在于汽车排放的废气中）发生化学反应时，就会形成臭氧，这会对人类和动物的健康构成更大的威胁。
Dr Alastair Lewis and his team at Britain's York University noticed how the production of isoprene, and thus ozone, suddenly went up at high temperatures. "At 30℃， it's starting to bee important. By 35℃， the emission rate has gone up by maybe an order of magnitude 10 times," Lewis told the BBC. Lewis says that isoprene and terpene were responsible for 30 percent of the ozone in the air during the hottest part of the summer.
英国约克大学的阿拉斯泰尔·刘易斯博士及其研究小组注意到异戊二烯的分泌量及随后形成的臭氧量在高温条件下陡然上升的过程。刘易斯对英国广播公司的记者说：“30℃时数量开始增加。到35℃时，其排放速度则可能增加了一个数量级（10倍）。” 他还指出，在夏天最热的时候，空气中的臭氧有30%是由异戊二烯和萜烯生成的。
Prof.David Fowler of the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Edinburgh says we shouldn't blame the trees for this. "Realistically, the best way to counter this is to reduce our production of both ozone and nitrogen oxides from industrial and personal processes."
来自爱丁堡生态学与水文学中心的戴维·富勒教授认为，我们不该因此责怪树木。他对《每日电讯报》的记者说：“现实地说，应对这一情况的最佳办法是在我们的工业生产及个人生活中减少臭氧和氮氧化合物的排放。”

英语小笑话：A Good Boy 好孩子
Little Robert asked his mother for o cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?" "I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered. "You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are o cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?" "She is the one who sells the candy."
小罗伯特向妈妈要两分钱。
“昨天给你的钱干什么了？”
“我给了一个可怜的老太婆，”他回答说。 “你真是个好孩子，”妈妈骄傲地说。“再给你两分钱。可你为什么对那位老太太那么感兴趣呢？”
“她是个卖糖果的。”
There's about 1 000 students and 120 teachers in our school.The teachers work very hard and are strict with their students. It is they who teach the students how to be useful persons. All the students are diligent. Even at night, the c]assrooms are as bright as in the day time. Every year, our school sends many students to co]leges for their further study. Our school is beautiful. Our teaching building is surrounded with trees and flowers. Now another building is being built and soon we will have our lessons in it. Our playground is the largest one among those of all the schools in the city.
I'm lucky to study in such a good school and I am proud of our school.
