題目：I Have Never Become a Bird In My Dream
----夢中我從來沒有變成鳥
I have read some letters from my netfriends some time ago,a girl told me that she could become a swallow in her dream , I envy her when I read her letter because she told me that she could became a swallow flying in the sky freely in her own dream and I never never and never can become a bird like swallow or , butterfly in my dream .like Zhuang Zhou , a Chinese ancient philosopher . her letter reminded me of a film: Days of Being Wild directed by Wang Jia Wei , Did you see this film? if not, wish you can see it . A words in the film moved me deeply : let me recite it again : I have heard on earth there is a kind of bird without legs that can only fly and fly and sleep in the wind when it is tired. the bird lands only
once in its life that is when it dies . I those days , I imagined I could have become this bird in my dream , but it is illusion for me , as last , I was in gloomy outlook on it and I agree with another words in the same film: I used to think there a kind of d that once started would keep flying until death , the fact is that the bird has not gone anywhere , It was dead from beginning , I ponder over my life in past ,perhaps there are some tragic nature in my life , I am always flaunting my solitary nature because I am fond of solitude .
However, when I told my USA freind about the dream ,he is very kind of me and reply me today and what he type to me is very inspiring indeed , now , I it to you ,share my good feeling about him :" Well, at least it is for me .I am setting here sipping my tea, watching the sunrise with my dog. She is laying on the sofa I am looking at the sun. It will be up in two minutes now. I can see faint pink and purples peeking through the clouds. The morning aches and pains are slowly leaving my body. I Hope you have a night full of good dreams,and you wake up full of happiness. May you enjoy your night flight with the swallow. When you wake up and you move through the day you are unaware of the person looking at your kind face that has a warmth inside of his heart because of you. Even if its only for a minute goodness was spread and no one the wiser. Think how many people you pass on the street, the people at work you never know how many people you touch with your soul. I hope you touch many because your soul is a beautifulthing.The sunbeams are poking through the window now hitting the computer screen making it hard to see. I look forward toward your letters because your beautiful soul touched me."
Above these words is his words to me, this is very lyric and good letter in my mind .to tell you the truth , why I can still remain surfing online , because I have some very good netfriends including you ..
I know that I was unsuccessful man in past and now I am an incompetent man in my work , nevertheless I know that the secret of health for both mind and body is not mourn for the past , not to worry about the future , not to anticipate troubles , but to live wisely and earnestly for the present , in other words I should not dwell in the past, not dream of the future uselessly only concentrate my mind on the present moment .
Sometimes I am too naive to communicate with others online . this year I only come to the net to reply my good netfriends letters . I used to have a good netfriend who is US man , he is very learned and we wrote letters for about more than three hundred letters, however. he was dead of fatal ill at the end of last year , perhaps I am really an unlucky man and I predict that it is very difficult for me to find such the good man like him . .
How to write ?
Do you like reading books , until now I still regard the Harveest magazine [收獲}as a good literature magazine though there are some rubbish novels in this magazine, I have collected this magazines from 1979 to now ,some were bought in the old book market , now I casn boast myself that the total Harvest magazines I possess are about 150 volumes , recently I read a good novel in the magazine , a poem in a novel named a slow boat to China is very lyric amd touching . now I it for you and wish you can appreciate it :
I 'd lve to get you on a slow boat to China ,
All to myself alone .
There is no verse to the song ,
Cause I dont want to wait a moment too long.
I 'd love to get you on slow boat to China.
All to my self alone ,
Get you and keep you in my arms ever more.
Leave all you loves weeping on the far away shore .

D. 英語長篇閱讀理解題
Around the World in 20 Days
Bertrand: In many people』s eyes, a round-the-world balloon flight was the last great challenge in aviation. The winter of 1998-99 was time of high anxiety. Five other teams were preparing to launch in various parts of the world. This would be my third, and last, attempt underwritten by the Breitling watch company. The weather was terrible, and February was drawing to a close. Normally the end of the month marked the end of the season for ballooning attempts. I was in despair. But early on February 24, 1999, the telephone rang. It was Luc Trullemans, one of our meteorologists.
「, there』s a really good slot coming on the first of March!」 he exclaimed. Trullemans and fellow meteorologist Pierre Eckert felt sure we could swing the balloon around the edge of a big depression forming over the Mediterranean by flying counterclockwise—going down over France and Spain. Then we would be carried eastward over Africa.
Brian Jones, my British co-pilot, and I knew if the weather turned, we would fail. But if we waited for next year, somebody else might succeed in the interim.
A balloon piloted by British tycoon Richard Branson hand gone down in the Pacific, but one sponsored by Britain』s Cable & Wireless and piloted by Andy Elson and Colin Prescot had already been aloft for seven days. On Sunday, February 28, we struggled to make the crucial decision: carry on or not? Brian and I knew this was our last chance for 1999. Alan Noble, our flight director, and Don Cameron, head of the firm that built the balloon, were far from being positive. 「From the weather maps,」 they said, 「we don』t see how you can get around the world.」
「You get them up there,」 argued Luc, 「and I』ll get them around.」
Following meteorological assurances, Alan said, 「I think we can go.」 We put it to a vote of the whole team, and the show of hands to take off was unanimous. By five the next morning, Brian and I were both wide awake. After years of preparation and dashed hopes, the moment was upon us.
The launch teams had started inflation at 3 a.m. on March 1. The balloon was designed to function with a combination of hot air and helium. During the day the sun heats the helium, causing it to expand and make the balloon climb. At night propane is burned to heat the gas, maintaining the balloon』s lift.
Our meteorologists would work out the trajectories, then we would travel along with the moving weather all the way around the world.
As down broke, the wind began to blow and gust. Since any strong wind might damage the envelope and dash the gondola against the ground, we knew we had to take off soon.
At 8 a.m., Brian and I climbed in and closed the rear hatch. High above us the Mylar envelope was crackling. Hair-raising noises started to emanate from the gondola. Supplies and equipment kept tumbling onto the floor.
Unable to risk disaster any longer, Alan waited for one more big bounce and severed the restraining rope with his Swiss Army knife.
As we rose into the sky, he thousands who had assembled were screaming. Church bells were ringing. A fire engine』s siren was wailing. This enthusiasm seemed to propel us into the sky.
Brian: My first task was to be carried out atop the gondola, so before takeoff I climbed out through the top hatch and sat. a heavy double railing ringed the area, and we took off with such a jerk, I hat to cling tight to it.
Bertrand and I were both amazed by the speed at which we went up. The balloon finally stopped climbing at 1,000 feet when we hit an inversion layer—the level at which cold air close to the ground meets warmer air above. It acts like an invisible barrier.
Bertrand called out, 「One bag of sand!」 I started pouring 33 pounds of ballast down a tube that sent the sand clear of the capsule.
A moment later he shouted, 「Look out, I』m going to burn!」 The propane jets and blue flames roared six feet up, warming the helium. We started to climb again. I scrambled back into the gondola, and we sealed the hatch. We were on our way.
Bertrand: By sunset our first problems set in. the pilot lights on the burners began to act erratically, and every few seconds we had to manually ignite the burners.
More worrisome was the fact that we thought we were using far too much propane to maintain our height. It looked as though our chances of making it were perilously slim. But the first pair of fuel tanks held out until the evening of day two, exceeding our expectations. And that was a huge encouragement.
As we entered Moroccan airspace, I was rewarded by one of the most magnificent sights. I had ever seen: an absolutely incredible view of the Atlas Mountains with a full moon. We had been told how boring it would be to fly over the Sahara, but on the next day the views that unfolded were fabulous. For me, the desert was alive. The light was alive, and the sand was alive, full of different colors, different shapes, like the bottom of the sea. I spent hours staring at the desert, feeling its strangeness.
Brian: Early in the morning of March 4 the plan called for releasing our four empty auxiliary tanks. That meant an EVA—extravehicular activity—to cut them free. We also wanted to get rid of the ice that had formed from riding in the freezing high altitudes. As we descended to 10,000 feet, our adrenaline was flowing.
When we opened the hatch and climbed out, we found icicles that were ten feet long dangling from the envelope』s skirt. While I concentrated on fixing the faulty ignition system, Bertrand went about attacking the icicles with a fire ax. He commented that it was probably the first time that ice had rained on the Sahara in several thousand years.
With Bertrand holding one of my ankles, I reached out and freed one of the empty tanks. We watched it tumbling all the way to the ground. A puff of sand marked where it slammed into the desert. If it buried itself, I thought, it might lie there for a couple of millennia before some archeologist g it up.
By then we had finished our counterclockwise swing and were at last heading east, just as our meteorologists had predicted. The air was warm; the sky cloudless. Below us stretched sand and rock as far as the eye could see.
Bertrand: We were over Yemen and two days from the Indian subcontinent when an astonishing message came in from our ground crew: 「The cable & Wireless control room says their balloon is landing 70 miles off the coast of Japan. The balloon iced up. Search and rescue are with them.」 Now we were the only ones in the race.
I was desperate to pass on the news to Brian, and when he finally stuck his head out of the sleeping bunk hours later, I said, 「I』ve got the most incredible news.」
He instantly said, 「Andy』s down.」
Meanwhile I spoke to Luc, who confirmed that our position was perfect for enter China at the right point. We had guaranteed them we would keep south of 26 degrees latitude. If we found ourselves straying north of the limit, we would come down.
Brian: Heading for Myanmar (formerly Burma), we found we were graally creeping north toward the 26th parallel. This kept us on tenterhooks. But back in Geneva our weathermen were telling us we had to go right up almost to the boundary. Once there, the wind would take us e east.
On the way we had the following exchange with a Myanmar air controller.
Tower: 「What is your departure point and destination?」
Me: 「Departure point, Switzerland. Destination, northern Africa.」
Tower: (after several seconds of silence) 「If you』re going from Switzerland to northern Africa, what in hell are you doing in Myanmar?」
Shortly before down on the morning of March 10 we arrived at the Chinese border. The Chinese had seen us coming and sent the message: 「Your balloon』s heading for the prohibited zone. It must land.」
Bertrand: It was amazing. We skimmed across a 1,300-mile-long corridor straight as an arrow, with the 26th parallel never more than 30 miles away. Our meteorologists had sent us on a swirling trajectory of 8,100 miles, then through the eye of a needle.
By March 11 we were heading out over the Pacific. Faced by 8,000 miles of water, I felt as if I had stepped onto the edge of the abyss.
I picked up my pen and wrote: 「This is exactly my definition of adventure, a point at which you hat to dig inside yourself to find the courage to deal with what may lie ahead.」
On Saturday, March 13, we were still over the Pacific. Our meteorologists said our speed would improve from our miserable 35 knots to 100 knots once we climbed into the jet stream. By Tuesday it would increase to 120.
Our propane reserves seemed perilously small. We had already burned two-thirds of our fuel and yet covered only half our course. everything depended on our weathermen: If they were right, we had a chance. If they were wrong, we were doomed.
Brian: Like Bertrand, I was thoroughly on edge over the Pacific. After seven days above the water, we at last made the coast of Mexico. Later that night, lying there, I found it had to breath. And it was not until I got up that I realized something was seriously wrong. I found Bertrand in the pilot』s seat, slumped against the bulkhead, gasping. He crawled into the bunk wearing an oxygen mask.
Our symptoms were not those of hypoxia, and the instruments monitoring the CO2 levels had not signaled any alarm. But despite this, we felt that we were slowing being asphyxiated. People on the ground started telephoning doctors in a frantic search for clues to what could be wrong with us. I was also wearing my oxygen mask, and after a few minutes of breathing pure oxygen, my head cleared. I thought, I Screw the instruments, and changed both the CO2 and the carbon filters. The symptoms graally began to disappear.
We crossed Mexico in a day and were soon out over the Caribbean. Reporting to air-traffic control in Kingston, Jamaica, I heard a female controller with a delicious voice ask what we were doing.
「We took off from Switzerland,」 I answered. 「We』re hoping to get around the world.」
「You guys sure are taking a chance!」 she said.
She was right. Our fuel was critically short, and nobody was sure if we had enough to get across the Atlantic. Alan Nobel suggested we make our decision over Puerto Rico.
Bertrand: By March 18 it was time to decide. With cameras from all over the world focused on him, Alan got on the phone with us. When we had run through the agreed-upon formalities, Alan said, 「I think you can go for it.」
「Bertrand!」 cried Brian. 「Tell him we』re going.」
「We』re not going to quit,」 I told Alan. 「Even if we ditch in mid-Atlantic, we go for it.」
Our weathermen guided us into the middle of the jet stream, and our speed increased as we shot out over the Atlantic. But cursing at 15,000 feet, the cold was intense and our heaters had failed. The temperature inside was 28.4 F, and our water supply froze.
On March 20 came good news. Our navigation computer told us we had made landfall. We had crossed the Atlantic, and at 6:15 GMT, or Greenwich Mean Time, when the sun came over the horizon, I again saw the desert I had loved so much 20 days earlier. Now the finish line was only 300 miles away, about three hours』 time.
When we crossed the line at 9:54 GMT, Brian and I stood up and embraced, slapping each other on the back and shouting, 「We』ve done it! We』ve done it.」
The next morning, after the longest flight in distance and ration ever made by a free balloon, we landed in the Egyptian desert. Brian sent this fax: 「The Eagle has landed. All okay. Bloody good.」 Our trip round the world, and into history, was done.

Astronomers have witnessed the biggest bang since the big bang— moment about 15 billion years ago when the universe was created in a massive explosion. The huge burst of energy from the edge of the universe is estimated to be second only to the moment of creation in its explosive force, releasing more energy in two seconds than the sun will give out in it lifetime. Scientists hope the explosion—known as a gamma-ray burst because it emits energy in the form of gamma radiation—will shed light on the earliest stages in the evolution of the stars and galaxies. Gamma-ray bursts cannot be seen by the human eye, but if they could the sky would light up like a camera flash each time they occurred. They are by far the most energetic events in the universe and, until now, have remained largely a mystery.
The latest gamma-ray burst to be detected accurately occurred last December. Using a network of telescopes and satellites, the astronomers were able to calculate its distance from Earth at about 15 billion light years. This means it must have happened soon after the big bang itself, while the intensity of the radiation revealed it to be the biggest bang recorded by man. Scientists from the American National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the California Institute of Technology are to announce details of their analysis this week. The huge distance between the source of the explosion and the Earth suggests gamma-ray bursts are up to 10 times larger than previously thought, said Jonathan Katz, professor of physics at Washington University in St Louis.
「Gamma-ray bursts may be the most distant things we will ever see and as such will act as beacons to probe into the very distant regions of the universe when stars and galaxies were first formed.」
American spy satellites looking for the radiation released from Soviet nuclear tests first detected gamma-ray bursts in 1967 but the details were kept classified until 1973. For nearly 25 years scientists were hampered in their efforts to find an explanation for the huge explosions because they lasted no longer than a few seconds. The inability to explain them led to speculation that gamma-ray bursts were the remnants of nuclear battles between alien civilizations, or even the exhaust energy of extraterrestrial spaceships going into warp drive. Two satellites, the American Compton gamma-ray observatory and the Italian-Dutch Bepposax satellite, have now been able to locate the precise direction of gamma-ray bursts within seconds of them occurring. John Quenby, professor of physics at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine in London, said the most likely explanation for gamma-ray burst is that they result from the enormous energy released when two very dense objects—called neutron stars—collide
I. 如何快速提高英語閱讀，尤其是長篇
我的經驗：英語閱讀要想讀的又順又快，就得背單詞。不知道你發現沒有，閱讀回讀的慢，一是因答為不認識單詞，進而不明白意思，既影響速度又影響質量；二是單詞意思理解錯誤，一個英語單詞往往有很多的意思，要隨著上下文及句子的意思來變化，意思理解錯誤會讓你迷惑，不知道文章說得什麼。所以背單詞吧，認識單詞和它的幾個主要的意思。
我目前是大學英語六級的水平。
