Global citizen is someone who identifies with being part of an emerging world community and whose actions contribute to building this community's values and practices. Global citizenship believes that humankind is essentially one and each individual has the power to change things. In our interdependent world, global citizenship encourages us to recognize our responsibilities toward each other and learn from each other. Global citizens care about education, disease, poverty, and environmental issues around the world. Today, the forces of global engagement are helping some people identify themselves as global citizens who have a sense of belonging to a world community. This growing

global identity in large part is made possible by the forces of modern information, communications and transportation technologies. Global citizenship aims to empower people to lead their own action. Along with the knowledge and values that they have gained from learning about global issues, people need to be

equipped with the necessary skills to give themselves the ability and confidence to be pro-active in making a positive difference in the world.

世界公民是指一个人承认自己是新兴的全球社区的一分子，而且其行动对全球社区的价值打造和实践活动有所贡献。世界公民相信人类从本质上来说是一个整体，每个人都有改变事物的能力。在我们这样一个相互依赖的世界中，世界公民意识鼓励我们认识到对彼此的责任，并从对方身上学习。世界公民关心全球的教育、疾病、贫穷和环境问题。在当今，全球合作的力量在使一些人萌发世界公民的意识，让他们拥有对全球社区的归属感。这种不断发展的世界公民意识在很大程度上来讲，要归功于现代信息、通信和交通技术的力量。世界公民意识致力于给予人们力量，让他们付诸行动。世界公民除了要从世界问题中学习知识和价值观，还要拥有必需的技能，使他们拥有能力和自信，积极推动世界的发展。

The American Dream is a national ethos (精神特质) of the United States. The term is used in many ways, but it essentially is an idea that suggests that anyone in the US can succeed through hard work and has the potential to lead a happy, successful life. Many people have expanded upon or refined the definition to include things such as freedom, fulfillment and meaningful relationships. The idea of an American Dream is older than the US, dating back to the 1600s, when people began to have all sorts of hopes and aspirations for what was a new and largely unexplored continent to European immigrants. And the meaning of the Dream has changed over the course of history, including both personal components and a global vision. But not everybody thinks the American Dream is a positive thing. Some people believe that the structure of society in the US prevents such an idealistic goal for everyone. Critics often point to examples of inequality rooted in class, race, religion and ethnicity that suggest that the American Dream is not attainable for everyone.

美国梦是美利坚合众国的民族精神。该词有各种各样的用法，但其根本含义是，在美国任何人都可以通过努力获得成功，都有可能过上幸福而成功的生活。许多人对美国梦的概念加以拓展和提炼，涵盖了像自由、自我实现和深厚的人际关系等方面的内容。美国梦的思想比美国本身更为久远，可以追溯到17世纪，当时的欧洲移民面对这一新发现的、未经开发的广袤大陆，开始纷纷怀揣希望，追逐梦想。随着历史的发展，美国梦的含义也已改变，既包含了个人元素，也包含了全局视野。但并不是每个人都对美国梦持肯定态度。一些人认为美国的社会结构决定了不是每个人都能拥有这样的理想目标。批评者常常举以实例，揭露植根于阶级、种族、宗教和民族的不平等现象，指出美国梦并非每个人都可企及。

实现中华民族伟大复兴（rejuvenation）是近代以来中国人民最伟大的梦想，我们称之为“中国梦”，其基本内涵是实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福。中国梦，是让每一个积极进取的中国人形成世世代代的信念：只要经过不懈的奋斗便能获得更好的生活。人们必须通过自己的勤奋、勇气、创意和决心迈向繁荣，而不是依赖于社会和他人的援助。每个中国人都是中国梦的参与者和创造者。中国梦是民族的梦，也是每个中国人的梦。

Realizing the great national rejuvenation, which we define as the Chinese Dream, has been the greatest Chinese expectation since modern times. It

basically means achieving prosperity for the country, renewal of the nation and happiness for the people, thus ensuring that every enterprising Chinese carries, generation after generation, the firm conviction that a better life is accomplished through persistent effort. People should achieve their prosperity through diligence, courage, creativity and determination instead of aid from society or other people. Each individual is a participant and a designer in the cause of realizing the Chinese Dream, for it is a dream not only for the entire nation but also for every Chinese.

Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest minds of the Italian Renaissance, is perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. A painter, sculptor, architect, mathematician, engineer, and inventor, he is famous for a wide range of accomplishments. His natural genius, which crossed multiple disciplines, won him the title of \primarily as a painter. Among his works, the Mona Lisa is the best known and The Last Supper the most reproduced religious painting of all time. What make Leonardo's drawings unique are mainly his innovative techniques and acute scientific mind. Perhaps only 15 of his paintings have survived, partly because his constant experimentation with new techniques made his total output

quite small. Although not a prolific (多产的) painter, Leonardo was a most productive draftsman, keeping journals full of sketches, drawings, and diagrams. These notebooks, often referred to as da Vinci's manuscripts, recorded his inventions, observations, and theories about everything that captured his attention. Leonard's genius made him a pioneer in almost every field of study he

undertook. His paintings, together with his notebooks, have contributed

significantly to the history of art.

莱奥纳多?达?芬奇是意大利文艺复兴时期最伟大的思想家之一，也许也是迄今最多才多艺的人。他是画家、雕刻家、建筑家、数学家、工程师和发明家，因成就广泛而闻名。他的天赋跨越多个领域，为其赢得了“文艺复兴大师”的称号。莱奥纳多主要作为画家而著名。在其所有作品中，《蒙娜·丽莎》最为有名，而《最后的晚餐》则是历来复制最多的宗教画作。莱奥纳多作品的独特之处主要在于其创新性的技巧和敏锐的科学思维。他的画作大约只有15幅流传了下来，其部分原因是他不断试验新的技巧，所以作品总量很小。莱奥纳多虽然不是多产画家，却是一位最高产的绘图家，他在日记中画满了各种草图、图画和图表。这些笔记通常被称为达?芬奇手稿，记录了他的各种发明、观察，以及他对自己感兴趣的事物提出的理论。莱奥纳多的天赋使他几乎在涉足的每一领域都成了先驱。

他的画作，连同他的笔记，在艺术史上贡献斐然。

水墨画（ink and wash painting）是中国独具特色的传统艺术形式之一，是中国国画的代表。它大约始于唐代，兴盛于宋代和元代，距今已有一千多年的历史，其间经历了不断的发展、提高和完善。水墨画的创作工具和材料是具有浓厚中国特色的毛笔、宣纸和墨，其作品特点也与此紧密相关。例如，水和墨相互调和，使作品具有干湿浓淡的层次。水墨和宣纸的交融渗透也使画作善于表现丰富的意象，从而达到独特的审美效果。水墨画在中国绘画史上具有很高的地位，甚

至被认为是衡量东方绘画艺术水平的标准。

Ink and wash painting, one of the unique traditional art forms of China, is representative of Chinese painting. It began around the time of the Tang Dynasty, and then prospered in the Song and Yuan dynasties. With a history of over one thousand years, it has experienced constant development,

improvement and perfection. The tools and materials used to create ink and wash painting, i.e. brushes, rice paper, and ink, are characteristic of Chinese culture and closely related to the features of the paintings. For example, the mixing of water and ink creates different shades of dryness, wetness, thickness and thinness. The integration and infiltration of water, ink, and rice paper

enables such paintings to convey rich images, and hence to achieve unique

aesthetic effects. Ink and wash painting holds a high status in the history of Chinese painting, and it is even regarded as the criterion to evaluate the artistic level of Oriental paintings.

Modern science offers an abundance of drugs to deal with bad moods. But scientists have also discovered the practicability of several non-drug (4)

housework, however, does little help, probably because it is not intensive enough, and people usually do it unwillingly. The key is physical exercise –

If something dangerous or (1) (illegal)happens, the cops are the

obvious solution. But if problems that arise are grayer, communication is the best way to save money and trouble. Here are some tips to be a good neighbor and deal with a bad one:

? Get to know each other. Being a good neighbor doesn't mean (2)

(takingfamilyvacations)together. Just knowing them well

enough to say hi, or maybe borrowing a cup of sugar or loaning a gardening tool, can build trust and understanding. Issues are much more likely to occur among strangers than even casual (3)(acquaintances) .

? Head off problems before they're problems. If you are (4)

(throwingaparty) at your place, go to all neighbors who might

be affected and offer them two things: a (5) (verbal) invitation to the

party and a card with your phone number. If they are not (6)

(tolerant) of the noise or there are other problems, your neighbors

can call you instead of asking the police to (7) (intervene) Tell your

neighbors what's bothering you – don't assume they know what the problem is. Be open and direct, not passive-aggressive. Ask for their opinions, and wherever possible, propose a solution that (8)

(splitsthedifference) and demonstrates a willingness to

compromise. Stay cool and positive, even if your neighbors are not. ? Check with other neighbors. See if anybody else on the block is having

similar issues – they may be willing to help (9) (resolve) it. If one of

the neighbors is close to the troublemaker, have them come with you when you (10) (talk it out) .

Bottom line? As with any relationship, being a good neighbor – or dealing with a bad one – is all about communication.

Research shows a close relation between reading speed and understanding that in most cases an increase in rate (1) (was accompanied by) an increase in comprehension and a decrease in rate brought decreased comprehension with it. However, simply speeding the rate especially through forced (2)

(acceleration) may actually result in making the real reading problem more (3)total (4) (severe) .The obvious solution, then, is to increase rate as a part of a (endeavor / endeavour) of the whole reading process. Then how? You can prepare for maximum increase in rate by establishing (5)

(practicable) habits, such as avoiding rereading and whispering while reading, learning to adjust reading rate to increase comprehension.

Rate adjustment may be overall adjustment, or internal adjustment within an article. As an (6) (analogy) , imagine that you plan to take a 100-mile mountain trip in three hours, averaging about 35 miles an hour. This is your overall rate adjustment.

However, in actual driving you may slow down to 15 miles per hour on some curves, while (7)(speeding up) to 50 miles per hour on relatively straight sections. This is your internal rate adjustment.

The most useful bit of the media is disappearing. In North America, newspapers are now an (1) (endangered)species. The business

of selling words to readers and selling readers to advertisers, which has sustained their role in society, is(2) (falling apart) .

Of all the old media, newspapers have the most to lose from the Internet. Circulation has been falling in many countries. But in the past few years the Web has hastened the decline. In his book The Vanishing Newspaper, Philip Meyer (3)(calculates) that the first quarter of 2043 will be the

moment when newsprint dies in America as the last exhausted reader (4)

(tosses aside) the last crumpled (弄皱的) edition.

Advertising is following readers who (5) (turn to) the Internet. The

rush is intense, largely because the Internet is an attractive medium that (6)

(unprecedentedly) matches buyers with sellers and proves

to advertisers that their money is well spent. In Switzerland and the Netherlands newspapers have lost half their (7)(classified) advertising to the Internet. Newspapers have not yet started to (8) (shut down) in large

numbers, but it is only a matter of time. Over the next few decades half of North America's general papers may fold. Jobs are already disappearing. According to the Newspaper Association of America, the number of people employed in the newspaper industry fell by (9)(approximately) 18 percent between 1990 and 2004. Moreover, this year Morgan Stanley, an investment bank, attacked the New York Times Company, because its share price had fallen by nearly 50 percent in four years. This may suggest, to some extent, that tumbling shares of listed newspaper firms have prompted (10) (fury) from investors.
