1. By t he Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the war with the French and the Indians, England gained posssion of Canada and all the territory east of the Mississippi River. French influence on this continent
thus came to an end; England now controlled most of North America. But the war had been long and expensive. England had many debts. George III, king of England, after consulting with his advirs, decided that the American colonists（殖民者）should help pay some of the expens of this war. A standing English army of 10,000 men had been left in the colonies（殖民地）for protection against the Indians. The English government also felt that the colonists should share in the expens of maintaining this army. The result was a ries of measures, the Grenville Program, pasd by Parliament and designed to rai money in the colonies. Some of the measures were accepted by the colonists, but one in particular, the Stamp Act, was met with great protest. The Stamp Act required that stamps, ranging in price from a few cents to almost a dollar, be placed on all newspapers, advertiments, bills of sale, wills, legal papers, etc. The Stamp Act was one of the caus of the American Revolution. It affected everyone, rich and poor alike. Some businessmen f elt that the act would surely ruin their business.
Of all the voices raid in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater effect than that of a young lawyer
from Virginia - Patrick Henry. Henry had only recently been elected to the Virginia Asmbly.Yet when the

2. Chil dren learn almost nothing from television, and the more they watch the less they remember. They regard television purely as entertainment, dislike programs that demand their attention mad are bewildered that anybody should take the medium riously. Far from being over-excited by programs, they are mildly bored with the whole thing. The are the main conclusions from a new study of children and television. The author, C. Cullingford, confirms that the modern child is devote d viewer. The study suggests that there is little point in the later hours. More than a third of the childr
en regularly watch their favorite programs after All II-year-olds have watched programs after midnight.
Apart from the obvious waste of time involved, it ems that all this viewing has little effect. Children don’t pay clo attention, says Cullingford, and they can recall few details. They can remember exactly which programs they have en but they can rarely explain the elements of a particul ar plot. Recall was in “rever proportion to the amount they had watched”.

So are people who frequently talk on screen. What children

3. “Y ou must be mad” was the general comment of family, friends and colleagues. “Giving up a teaching post now, when th ere isn’t much chance of finding another one, ever!”
“And what about all that lovely money you’re earning, and all tho long holidays!”
But I had already come to my lonely decision, after months of concealed suffering. The devil of unemployment should be enough to make tho of us fortunate enough to have a job pulling up the drawbridge (吊桥) behind us, and yet here was I, prepared to join the noisy army on the opposite bank.
But I knew I could no longer continue in the teaching profession. To wake up in the morning with a fear of the day ahead, to force a hasty breakfast down an unwilling throat and then t off for work with pounding heart and frozen face had become habitual, and I had turned to tranquilizers (镇定剂) to help me along.
It had not always been as bad as this. Ten years before I had managed well enough, and the holidays ud to come round just in time.
But I, in common with most other teachers, am enormously lf-critical, and I knew now that I was

no longer “managing”. My class were noisy, the children were not learning very much, and my’ attempts to cope with changing teaching methods produced very little effect. At one time my very prence in the
doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence. Now they give a vague “Hello, Miss”, and carry on.
I had run out of enjoyment and enthusiasm. It was time to stop.
But was it all my own failure? In fairness to mylf, I don’t think it was. I had plenty of ideas,
自由落体公式
I loved my subject, and, by and large, I liked children.
I had been idealistic. But the reality I faced was bored children, over-stimulated by video-watching
the night before and tired out by a late bedtime. They were children who were given the wrong food at the
wrong time, who came breakfast-less to school and then stuffed themlves with gum, chocolates and sweets
bought on the way; who were “high” with hunger in the lesson before lunchtime and giggled (咯咯地笑)
毕飞宇
restlessly as the cooking smell from the school kitchen came drifting to all floors.
I have been trying to create the basic conditions in which teaching becomes possible, but I have failed,
and no longer have the stomach for the job. And that is why I’m giving up.

4. Face s, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different
from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces, we
all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the
ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from other.
