     A long story about people is usually called a novel. It can be about any kind of man, woman, or child.
It can be about kings, or Chicago newsboys, or housewives. The French writer, Victor Hugo, wrote his
novel Les Miserables about a poor man who stole a loaf of bread. The American writer, Ernest Hemingway,
wrote A Farewell to Arms about a young American with the Italian Army in World War One.
     A novel can tell the story of any kind of action, over any period of time. The modern Irish writer, James,
Joyce, covers less than twenty- four hours in Ulysses. Yet, Joyce takes a thousand pages to tell all that
happens from the time one man gets up in the morning until he goes to bed early the next morning. A
German writer, Herman Hesse, uses only one hundred and fifty pages in his novel Demian to cover a boy's
life from the age of ten until he becomes a young man.
     A novel does not just tell the things that people do. It also tells why they do them. The Badge of Courage,
by the American novelist, Stephen Crane, tells about a young soldier in the War between the states who runs
away the first time he is in battle. The book shows why he acted as he did. It describes his mental suffering
until he overcomes his fears. People buy novels because they enjoy reading about other people. The novel
satisfies the human desire to know and understand our fellow creatures.
1. Definition 2. Plot 3. People 4. reasons 5. bread

In the debates about how a particular piece of land is to be used, the priorities often conflict. What should you do, for example, if you find out that under the fertile fields of a farming community there is a thick bed of coal which can be strip mined(露天礦) ? Strip mining tears up top soil and plants. But mining may create jobs, bring money to the towns businesses. Those who approve of strip mining say that the coal is needed, and they point out that it is quicker and cheaper to get coal from the surface than to go deep into the earth to get it by standard mining techniques. On the other hand, it takes nature 500 years to create an inch of top soil. As the countryside fills up, people are becoming more aware of the need for open space. Nearly every proposal for a new power plant, highway, or airport draws fierce opposition. Everyone wants the big, land-eating “uglies” to be in someone else’s backyard. Minneapolis and St.Paul, Minnesota, for example, have been debating about the site of a future airport for years. Yet if a new airport is needed, it will have to go somewhere.
How do we find our way out of the land-used problem? One way might be to reexamine our values, to think in new directions. Does everyone have to have a car with its need for highways and parking lots? What about developing mass transport systems that use less land? Do suburbs have to spread? Can they be designed so they use less space? Do we have to have more energy? If we do, do we really have to strip-mine coal to provide it?
However difficult they may be to arrive at, choices will have to be made if we want to preserve the beauty and usefulness of the land. For there is at least one point on which all of us can agree: The land does have its limits.
1. The word “priorities” in the sentence means ____.
? A. the various needs           B. the most important goal

     Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not
necessary so, however, Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how.
     1) Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have
to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping,
dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for
entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is
happening to your time.
      2) Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which
may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios,
or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
      3) Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers
say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher
says.
     4) Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points
that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read
that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
     5) Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a
subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so
don't be overly worried.
     There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many
others after you have tried these.

                                                  People unhappy with the rich: Poll
     There is growing dissatisfaction toward rich people, according to a new online poll. The poll by the China
Youth Daily in collaboration(與…合作) with Sina.com has highlighted the apparent discontent (不滿) over the
country's widening income gap.
     Nearly 8,000 people filled in online questionnaires last week, and when asked to use three words to describe
society's rich, the top responses were "extravagant" (奢侈的), "greedy" and"corrupt".
     About 57 percent of those polled said that"extravagant" was the best word to describe the rich, followed
closely by "greedy".
      Ironically, despite their dissatisfaction, 93 percent of those polled wished they could be rich too, and that
richer people should be"socially responsible".
     Some 33 percent of respondents also praised rich people for being"smart".
     Nearly 90 percent of respondents agreed that most people in society, including themselves, were willing to
speak up for the poor but were reluctant to take action and actually do something for them.
     The survey comes on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned economist Mao
Yushi, who said he was "speaking for the rich and working for the poor".
     A report released by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday revealed that China's Gini coefficient-an
indicator of the wealth divide-rose from 0.407 in 1993 to 0.473 in 2004.
     An earlier CASS report said that the richest 10 percent of Chinese families now own more than 40 percent
of all private assets, while the poorest 10 percent share less than 2 percent of the total wealth.
     The country's income disparity (懸殊) is close to that of Latin America, the report which came out in
January, said.
