Task 6
The n of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a wasted product, too, in the form of noi. Noi has been called unwanted sound. Noi is growing and it may get much wor before it gets any better.
Scientists, for veral years, have been studying how noi affects people and animals. They are surprid by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noi pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.
There is a saying about it being so noisy that you can't hear yourlf think. Doctors who study noi believe that we must sometimes hear ourlves think. If we don't, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even wor mental problems.
Noi adds more tension (紧张) to a society that already faces enough stress.飞字行书
But noi is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noi that the government stopped chariots (四轮马车) from moving through the streets at night!
Ways of making less noi are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noi. We cannot return to the "good old days" of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noi--if we shout loudly enough about it.

Task 7感情英语
Life in the twentieth century demands preparation. Today, all individuals in a country must have adequate schooling to prepare them for their work as well as for their responsibilities as citizens. With this in mind, national leaders everywhere are placing more emphasis on the education of the young.
In the United States, government officials, parents, and teachers are working hard to give
the children -tomorrow's decision makers -the best preparation available. There is no national school policy in the United States. Each of the fifty states makes its own rules and regulations for its schools, but there are many similarities among the fifty school systems. Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state.
In most states the children are required to attend school until they reach the age of six. When they become six years old, children begin elementary school. After six years in elementary school, they go into junior high school and remain there for three years. The last three years of their public school education are spent in nior high school, from which they graduate at the age of eighteen.
A great number of high school graduates continue their education in one of the many colleges or universities in the country. After four years, they receive a Bachelor's degree. Some continue studying for a Master's degree and perhaps a Doctor' s degree.
