                                                                       Potato Chips
            History: Potatoes came from South America. We know that the people of Peru were eating potatoes
    as long as 2,000 years ago.
            Potatoes were not widely grown in Europe (欧洲) until the early 19th century.
            Production: The first chip factory in Britain was opened in the early 1900s by Frank Smith. For about
    50 years, Smith's Chips were the only ones that you could buy. Potatoes are cut, cooked in vegetable oil
    (油), dried and packed. It takes only 12 minutes to turn a potato into a bag of chips. 
           Chips are the most popular snack (零食) in the UK. Around 8,500 million bags are sold every year.
    Each person eats 3.5 kg every year.
           Making potato chips in South America 
           Potatoes are grown in the mountains of South America. This is how the village people make their own
    potato chips.
    A. At harvest (收获) time, the villagers dig up the potatoes and bring them into the village. The potatoes are
         put on the ground in the middle of the village.
    B. The villagers walk all over the potatoes and flatten (弄平) them. They do this every day and keep on doing
         so for five days.
    C. While they are out in the open, the potatoes are dried in the sun and in the cold night air, the potatoes are
         left on the ground.
    D. After five days, the chips are ready and are put into strong bags. The potato chips are kept in the food
         store until winter.
         After reading the steps above in making potato chips, please match them to the pictures below.

                                                            Waiting for Dr. Dirkson  
                                                                        (A play)
    THE SCENE: A classroom in a high school.
            (场景) Summer is over. This is the first day of school. The students arrive one by one or in small
                       groups. Everyone stops to read the sign on the door. It says: 
                       PHYSICS 1, DR.F. DIRKSON.
    THE CHARACTERS: Five students (Linda, Ben, Rudy, Tony, Molly) and Dr. Dirkson. 
            (人物)
    Linda: Dirkson? Dirkson? I don't know that name. Who is he?
    Rudy: Don't ask me. He must be a new teacher. I don't remember him teaching in this school last year.
             Do you, Ben?
    Ben: No, but here comes Tony. If anyone can tell you about Dr. What's-His-Name, Tony can. He knows
            everything.
    Tony: (laughs.) I don't know everything. I only know almost everything. What is your question, please?
    Molly: What do you know about this new teacher?
    Tony: I don't really know much about Dr. Dirkson. I do hear things, though. I hear lots of things.
    Rudy: What do you hear? Is he a good teacher? I'm hoping to go to college. This class is important to me.
    Tony: I have a friend who goes to Central High School. I'm almost sure that's where Dr. Dirkson comes 
             from. If it's the same teacher, he is rough. Believe me, he is rough and tough.
    Linda: What do you mean 'rough and tough'? I plan to go to college, too. I have to do well in this class.
    Tony: What I hear is that Dirkson's exams are very hard. He usually fails about half the class. All the girls.
    Linda: (angry) That can't be true. You're making it up, Tony.
    Molly: He's just talking like that to make us angry, Linda. Tony, What does Dr. Dirkson look like? Is he
              married?
    Tony: I don't think so. But don't get excited, Molly. He isn't going to interest you. He's about seventy-seven
              years old and he uses a walking stick.
    Molly: (she is angry) Tony, why do you say that this teacher fails all the girls? Do you think physics is too
              hard for girls? Do you think we can't do it?
    Tony: All I'm saying, Molly, is that girls don't make it in Dr. Dirkson's class. Physics is very difficult. It's
              not like art or music or history. It's a science. How many famous women scientists are there? Hardly
              any. You can count them on the fingers of one hand.
    Ben: That's not fair(公平), Tony. There are many women who are doctors and engineers and scientists. And
            there are more of them all the time.
    Rudy: That's right, Tony. I agree with Ben. Girls can do anything we can do.
    Tony: I don't care what anybody says. I'm telling you the truth, Molly. I'm not saying that girls are not
              intelligent (有智力的). They just don't have the right kind of intelligence to understand physics.
              Dr. Dirskson must know that. Take my advice (忠告) and get out of his class before he walks in.
              (A very pretty young woman hurries into the classroom.)
    Dr. Dirkson: Good morning. I'm sorry I'm late. I am Dr. Dirkson. 
             (The whole class starts to laugh. Everyone laughs hard. Everyone except Tony.)
    1. What's the meaning of the sentence "If anyone can tell you about Dr. What's-His-Name, Tony can."?
        It means _______.
    [     ]
    A. Tony is able to know about anyone that he doesn't know his name
    B. nobody knows more than Tony about a man called What's-His-Name
    C. only Tony can know what the man's name is instead of anyone
    D. no one can remember people's names as many as Tony can
    2. What kind of a boy is Tony? He is the boy that _______.
    [     ]
    A. has an unusual memory
    B. believes in himself
    C. takes pity on the girls

                                                                       Puppy People 
           Imagine taking a lovely puppy into your family. You love and train it through its first year, knowing
    that at the end of the year, you'll have to give it up. That's just what puppy raisers do. Puppy raisers raise
    guide dogs for blind and very weak people. 
           When a potential guide dog puppy is about eight weeks old, it goes to live with a family, sleeping inside
    the house as a member of the family. It's fine if the family has lots of children or other pets, since a guide
    dog needs to learn how to behave no matter who or what else is around.
           The puppy raiser's duty is not to turn the puppy into a guide dog, but to make the dog a well-behaved
    family member. That means someone must spend special time with the puppy, playing with it and training it.
            Guide dogs take blind people into a complex world. There are many interesting things that could keep
    the dog from working. The puppy raiser helps the puppy become socialized, or well-behaved in groups, by
    giving it the chances to experience lots of new environments and praising it when it stays quiet. Visits to the
    park, shopping centre, and bus stop are all very helpful field trips for the puppy. Since guide dogs may have
    to travel in cars, buses, planes and boats, puppy raisers try to give their puppies useful experiences of this
    nature too. Many puppy raisers even take their puppies to work with them. 
            Although the puppy raiser is not responsible for training the puppy to be a guide dog, the puppy can
    be taught orders which can be easily understood. Everyday training classes teach the dog such easy orders
    as "Sit," "Down," and "Stay." The one order the puppy is not taught is "Heel," because a guide dog stands in
    front of the trainer, not at the trainer's side.
            Dogs love to eat, but it is important for future guide dogs to learn to eat only from their own bowls.
    They can be easily attracted by smells of food and something they can see while they are working, so there
    can be no asking for food at the table and no things from strangers.
            When the dog is between a year and eighteen months old, the puppy raiser's job is over. The dog is
    now ready to do its real work. The family members have given their time and care to the dog. When their
    work is done, they always feel sad to give up the dog they have loved so much. 
            They can do it only because they know someone else needs the dog more than they do.
    1. puppy 小狗                      2. raiser 饲养者                  3. potential 有潜力的
    4. behave 行为举止              5. complex 复杂的              6. socialized 合群的
    7. praise 表扬                      8. responsible 负责的

           During the Second World War it was very difficult for ordinary people to travel by plane because the
    seats were needed for important government people and high rank (等级) officers in the army.
           Mr. Brown worked for the government during the war. He acted as an ordinary cook but in fact he was
    doing important secret work, and nobody was allowed to know how important he was except for a few very
    top people. 
           One day Mr. Brown had to fly to London to give a report to some important people in the government
    and army. He placed (预订) an order for a seat in a plane. But when Mr. Brown was about to get onto the
    plane, an important army officer came to the airport at the last minute, and Mr. Brown's seat was given to
    the officer, so Mr. Brown had to wait for the next plane which was to fly to London two days later.
           It was not until he reached London that the high rank officer discovered that the man whose seat he had
    taken was the very one whose report he had flown to the city to listen to!
