store.
Then Christina quitted her job and started her own
business.

She has two employees now and her company is
slowly growing.
Christina has come to San Francisco by herself.
Her husband didn’t come, because he has to work.
He tried to start a company two years ago, but it didn’t
work out.
His company failed after only a few months.
So now he is working at another company and saving
money.
Once he saves enough money, he plans to start
another company. He doesn’t want to give up.
This is the second time Christina has been to San
Francisco.
The first time was when she was a high school student.
That was more than ten years ago.
During that trip, she was only in San Francisco for a
few days.
After that, she went to Los Angeles and New York.
This time she and her friend plan to relax and have
fun.
Christina arrived two days ago, the day before
yesterday.
Her friend met her at the airport, and drove her to her
apartment.
Her apartment is just north of the airport, about 20
minutes from San Francisco.
It’s a small apartment, but it’s on a hill, and it has a
great view.

地球大约在46亿年前形成。
第一个生命出现在大约十亿年后。
直到大约20亿年前，才出现了第
一批晕倒的人。
直到5亿8千万年前，生命形式都
是微小的。
从那时起，生命进化成许多不同的
类型或物种。
然而，科学家估计超过99%的大象
已经灭绝。
地球历史上曾发生过几次大灭绝
事件。
在大灭绝事件中，许多生命形式或
物种灭绝了。
大规模物种灭绝事件的原因仍是
未解之谜。
这些事件是不可预测的，可以在任
何时候发生。
科学家认为其中一些是由小行星撞击或火山爆发引起的。这样的事

环境。
一次大灭绝事件发生在6600万年

那次事件可能是由一颗撞击地球

结果，恐龙和地球上大约一半的物

小行星撞击地球时，引起了一连串

The earth was formed by about 4.6 billion years ago.
The first life appeared about a billion years later.
The first plaints didn’t appear until around 2 billion
years ago.
Until about 580 million years ago, life forms were small
and microscopic.
Since that time, life has evolved into many different
types or species.
However, scientists estimate that more than 99% of
them are now extinct.
There have been several extinction events in the
history of the Earth.
In an extinction event, many life forms, or species of
life, die out.
The causes of mass extinction events are unsolved
mysteries.
These events are not predictable, and can happen at
any time.
Scientists think that some of them were started by
asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions. Events like this
can change the global conditions that life depends on.
One major extinction event happened about 66
million years ago.
That event may have been started by a large asteroid
that hit the Earth.
As a result, the dinosaurs and about half of all species
on the planet, died out.
When the asteroid hit the Earth, it started a chain of
events.
A chain of events is a series of events linked together,
like a chain.
This particular chain of events happened over a period
of months and years.
When the asteroid hit the Earth, it caused a huge
cloud of dust to enter the atmosphere.
This cloud of dust blocked the sun and darkened the
Earth for many months.
Without enough sunlight, plants and plant- eating
animals quickly died. With the deaths of so many
plants and animals, the food chain collapsed This led
to the deaths of many more species.

Mass extinction events have played an important part
in the evolution of life.
In fact, some extinction events have helps to
accelerate evolution.
For example, some mammals lived through the age of
the dinosaurs, but they couldn’t compete.
When the dinosaurs were removed, the mammals
were able to compete more successfully.
Once they could compete, mammals evolved to
higher state.
Without extinction events, perhaps we wouldn’t be
here today.
Scientists estimated that there had been at least 5
mass extinctions in the last 540 million years.
They also believed that we have entered a new
extinction event.
Species are becoming extinct at a much faster rate
than before.
Instead of the asteroid or volcanic eruptions, the
current event is a result of human activities. Human
activities, for example, have led to global warming.
Global warming is a result of an increasing in carbon
gases in out atmosphere.
These gases trap heat from the sun, so the Earth is
getting warmer.
As a result, sea levels are rising, and weather patterns
are changing.
In addition, we humans are destroying the habitats of
many plants and animals.
Cutting down forests, and polluting rivers destroys the
habitats of many forms of life.
There is no longer any doubt that this is happening.
Species of life are disappearing at an increasing rate.
Global temperatures are rising and weather patterns
are changing.
Scientists are warning us that fast action is necessary
to save our future. If we don’t act, we may go the way
of the dinosaurs.
The body’s circulatory system includes the heart and

Bridge.
Alcatraz is also famous, and is now a major tourist
attraction. Tourists can reach the island by boat from

prison, a very special prison.
It was designed for prisoners who were causing
trouble in other prisons, such as trying to escape.
It was a maximum security prison, so escape was
almost impossible.
The waters around it are cold and only very strong
swimmers can swim from the island to San Francisco.
The first group of prisoners arrived in 1934.
There were 137 prisoners including bank rubbers and
murderers.
They came by train from another prison in the state of
Kansas.

The prisoners were under guard and handcuffed.
Nobody wanted them to escape.
The prison was designed to hold up to 336 prisoners.

W:没有。但我相信他们马上就会
的。
丽莎:他们还需要预付一笔钱。提案

他们兴奋就停止 一切。
W:好的，我会再联系他们，让他们
知道的。
丽莎:好的，请去做。我以前也经历
过这种事情。
看看这两个饼状图。
他们展示了这两个人如何度过他
们的日子，不包括周末。
上面这张图展示了艾玛是如何分
配时间的。她是为一家大公司工作
的设计师。
如图所示，艾玛一天中大部分时间
都在工作。
她平均每天工作8个小时，这是她
一天的13。
她的平均睡眠时间为6小时，占一
天的25%。那比马丁睡得少。
根据他的图表，他的平均睡眠时间
为7小时，约占一天的29%。
另一方面，马丁是个工程师，工作
时间比埃玛长。
马丁平均每天工作9个小时，而艾
玛只有8个小时。
37.5%，而33%。
图表中显示的其他因素还包括用
餐时间和通勤时间。
其他活动包括穿衣服和选择家庭，
如洗衣服和付账单。
正如你所看到的，对于马丁来说，
上下班花费了他大量的时间。
如果他能减少通勤时间，他就会有
更多的时间做其他事情。
这不仅仅是时间的问题。
当交通非常拥挤时，他的通勤压力
很大。
如果他能一周在家工作一两天就
太好了。他的生活会更愉快。
看看艾玛的图表，我们可以看到她
可能需要更多的睡眠。
也许她应该少花点时间和朋友交
往。
另一方面，与她的朋友社交是她真
正重视的事情。
W: No, they haven’t. But I’m sure they will right away.
Lisa: They’ll also need to make an advance payment.
That was in the proposal too. We can’t stop everything
else just because they are excited.
W: OK, I’ll get back to them and let them know.
Lisa: Yes, please do. I’ve been though these kinds of
thing before.
Unit 3

Look at these two pie graphs.
They show how these two people spend their days,
not including weekends.
The one on the top shows how Emma divides up her
days. She is a designer who works for a large
company.
As Emma’s graph shows, the biggest portion of her
day is spent working.
She works an average of 8 hours a day, which is 13
of her day.
She gets an average of 6 hours of sleep, which is 25%
of her day. That’s less sleep than Martin gets.
According to his graph, he gets an average of 7 hours
of sleep, which is about 29% of his day.
On the other hands, Martin, who is an engineer, works
more hours than Emma does.
Martin averages 9 hours a day at work, compared to
Emma’s 8.
That’s 37.5%, compare to 33%.
Other factors shown in the graphs include time for
meals and commuting to work.
Other activities include getting dressed and
household choice, such as doing laundry and paying
bills.
As you can see, for Martin, commuting is taking a
large amount of his time.
If he could reduce his commute time, he will have
more time for other things.
And it isn’t just the time.
When the traffic is really heavy, his commute is
stressful.
It would be great if he could work from home for 1 or
2 days a week. His life will be more enjoyable.
And looking at Emma’s graph, we see that she
probably needs more sleep.
Perhaps she should spend a bit less time socializing
with her friends.
On the other hand, socializing with her friends is
something she really values.

Lang Lang is one of the world’s greatest concert
pianists.
His first contact with Western music was when he was
just 2 years old.
He watched a cartoon in which a cat played a famous
piece by Franz Liszt.
From this experience, he decided he wanted to learn
to play the piano.
When he was 3 and a half years old, he started piano
lessons.
Two years later, he won first place in a piano
completion.
This early success gave his father high hopes that Lang
Lang would become a great pianist.
When Lang Lang was 9 years old, his father quit his
job and took him to Beijing.
They left everything behind including his mother who
had to work.
Lang Lang didn’t want to leave her behind, but his
father insisted.
His father wanted him to study at the famous Central
Conservatory of Music.
When they moved to Beijing, they rented a flat in a
poor area of the city.
During this time, Lang Lang practiced for several
hours a day.
He started practicing at 5 o’clock, which upset his
neighbors.

They would often pound on his door and ask him to
stop practicing.
They were so angry that he often feared that they
would beat him up.
Lang Lang usually had piano lessons once a week to
prepare for the conservatory.
Nearly 2000 students were applying for just 12 places
at the conservatory.
His lessons were expensive and very difficult especially
because of his piano teacher.
His music teacher didn’t like Lang Lang.
He called his teacher “professor angry” because she
always gave him a hard time.
One afternoon his teacher told him he had no talent
and told him to go home.
Upon hearing the news, his father screamed and
seemed to lose his mind.
His father told him that everything was destroyed and
there was no reason to live.
He ordered Lang Lang to jump off the 11th floor
balcony.
After this, Lang Lang almost went crazy.
He didn’t want to play the piano anymore.
For several months, he neither played the piano nor
spoke to his father.
Then some friends encouraged him to play a piece for
them and he realized his great love of the piano.
For the next 19 months, he practiced hard and his
father encouraged him.
Finally, when he was 10, he was accepted into the
conservatory with a full scholarship.
In 1995, when he was 13 years old, he played music
by Chopin in the Beijing Concert Hall.
In that same year, he won first place in an international
completion for young musicians in Japan.
When he was 15 he moved to the United States and
began studies with a famous pianist at the Crutis
Institute.
Since then his career has grown and he has become a
major star.
One American music critic called him the biggest most
exciting keyboard talent I have count for many year of
piano recitals.
In 2010, Lang Lang signed a recording contract for
several million dollars.
In 2011, he performed at the white house for
president Obama of the United States and Hu Jintao
of China.

With all of these success and fame, Lang Lang tries to
encourage others.
He uses his fame to spread the popularity of the
classical music and encourage the young musicians.
And in the end Lang Lang and his father have rebuilt
their relationship.
In his autobiography, Mr. Lang dedicated the book to
his mother and father.

Honeybees play an interesting and important role in
nature.
In addition to making honey, honey bees help many
plants reproduce.
They do this by pollenating the plant, which means to
transfer pollen.
Pollination occurs when pollen is moved within a
plant’s flower or carried to another flower.
This is how the plants reproduce.
For reproduction to succeed, the pollen must be
transferred from the male part of the flower to the
female part.
Many plants depend on pollination for reproduction.
These include many fruits and vegetables.
Besides honeybees, there are many other pollinators,
including birds, insects, and other kinds of bees.
Without enough pollinators, many of our favorite
fruits and vegetables would become more expensive
and hard to find.
These include almonds and cherries.
Honeybees are important pollinators and play an
important role in agriculture.
Beekeepers are people who keep honeybees.
In addition to connecting honey, some beekeepers
provide pollination services to farmers.
They do this by raising and managing colonies of
bees.
Farmers need the colonies to pollinate their crops.
Beekeepers can provide and manager bee colonies
for farmers.
Honey bees are social insects that live in colonies.
A bee colony consists of a queen bee, male drones,
and thousands of female worker bees.
Each colony also contains eggs and immature bees in
various stages of development.
The number of bees within a colony depends on
seasonal changes.

蜜蜂在自然界中扮演着有趣而重
要的角色。
除了制造蜂蜜，蜜蜂还帮助许多植
物繁殖。
他们通过给植物授粉来做到这一
点，这意味着传递花粉。
当花粉在植物的花内移动或被带
到另一朵花上时，授粉就发生了。
这是植物繁殖的方式。
为了繁殖成功，花粉必须从花的雄
性部分转移到雌性部分。
许多植物靠授粉繁殖。
这些包括许多水果和蔬菜。
除了蜜蜂，还有许多其他的传粉
者，包括鸟类、昆虫和其他种类的
蜜蜂。
如果没有足够的传粉者，许多我们
喜爱的水果和蔬菜将变得更加昂
贵和难以找到。
其中包括杏仁和樱桃。
蜜蜂是重要的传粉者，在农业生产
中起着重要的作用。
养蜂人就是养蜜蜂的人。
除了连接蜂蜜，一些养蜂人还为农
民提供授粉服务。
他们通过饲养和管理蜂群来做到
这一点。
农民需要蜂群为他们的作物授粉。
养蜂人可以为农民提供和管理蜂
群。
蜜蜂是群居昆虫，群居生活。
蜂群由蜂王、雄蜂和成千上万的雌
蜂组成。
每个蜂群还包括处于不同发育阶
段的卵和未成熟的蜜蜂。

要成为宇航员，有正确的背景是很
重要的。
许多宇航员都有工程学、物理学或
医学的背景。
有时他们有军事背景，如驾驶军用< br>飞机。至于报酬，宇航员可以挣到
不错的薪水，但不是很高。
另一个受欢迎的职业是成为音乐
家或演员。
许多孩子梦想成为著名的歌手或
电影明星。
然而，大多数音乐家和演员并没有
成名。
他们通常按小时计酬或按业绩计
酬。只有极少数人能挣很多钱。
所以最好的建议是不要成为音乐
家或演员，除非那是你真正的爱
好。
成为一名职业运动员是许多人的
另一个梦想职业。
想象自己在从事一项喜爱的运动，
并为此获得报酬，这种感觉很好。
然而，成为一名职业运动员需要大
量的工作和实践。
伟大的运动员每天与队友和教练
一起练习几个小时。
他们还定期与教练一起训练，以保
持身体强壮。
运动员的工资水平取决于他们的
成功和表现水平。
运动员的职业生涯往往很短，因为
他们的运动需要体能。
当他们不能再参加更高水平的比
赛时，一些运动员就成了教练。
消防员和警察是帮助和保护人们
的重要工作。
这些职业要求申请人完成培训课
程，并通过笔试和体检。这些工作
既刺激又危险，所以需要勇气，有
时还需要牺牲。
在考虑薪水和福利时，一些薪水最
低的工作是酒店和美容行业。
例如，餐饮服务人员和没有发型的
人通常工资较低。
这种工作不需要太多的教育或培
训。
但是如果你喜欢你正在做的事情，
那就足够了。
To become an astronaut, it’s important to have the
right background.
Many astronauts have the background in engineering,
physics or medicine.
Sometimes they have military background, such as
flying military aircraft. As for pay, astronauts can earn
a good salary, but not great.
Another popular career is to become musician or
actor.
Many kids dream of become famous singers or movie
stars.
However, most musicians and actors don’t become
famous.
They are usually paid by the hour or by the
performance. Only a very few earn lots of money.
So the best advice is not become the musician or actor
unless that’s your real passion.

Becoming a professional athlete is another dream job
for many.
It’s nice to image playing a favorite sport and getting
paid for it.
However, becoming a professional athlete takes a lot
of work and practice.
Great athletes practice for hours a day with
teammates and coaches.
They also work regularly with trainers to keep their
body strong.
The level of pay for athlete depends on the success
and level of their performance.
Athletes often have short career because of the
physical requirements of their sport.
When they are no longer able to compete at a higher
level, some athletes become coaches.
Firefighters and police officers are important jobs that
help and protect people.
These careers require applicants to complete training
programs and pass written and physical tests. These
jobs can be exciting and dangerous so they require
courage and sometimes sacrifice.
When considering salary and benefits, some of the
lowest paying jobs are hospitality and beauty
industries.
For example food service workers and hair styleless
generally have low salaries.
These kind of jobs don’t require much education or
training.
But again if you enjoy what you are doing, that may
be good enough.
