I work on a fish farm. Right now I'm feeding the fish, which are kept in cages in the sea. The cages are tied to rocks on the bottom of the sea. It can get very windy here. Twice a day I put the fish food in the boat and go out to the cages. The fish are always hungry. When the fish have grown to the right size, we pull the cages out of the water. The fish are killed and cleaned. Our fish farm is a long way from the nearest market. So we either freeze the fish or smoke them. We don't salt any fish here. Some fish farms do but we don't. Three of us work here and there's always a lot to do. Inside that building over there we have tanks for the young fish. We produce all our own fish from eggs. The fish start to grow in fresh water. Then, when they are bigger they go into the sea, which is salty, of course. There's always lots of work, feeding the fish, cleaning the. tanks, getting eggs out of the best of the large fish, harvesting the fish, cleaning them and smoke them. We have an old machine for smoking the fish. We burn our own wood and that way we get very good strong smoke. It's more work, but we get higher prices for our smoked fish. Part 3 Guide: Right, Here in front of you we have the milu deer. This deer can only be found in parks and zoos. At present there are about 1,000 deer living in the world. Woman: What's the height of the deer? G: They grow to a height of 1.2 metres. Man: What differences are there between the male and the female? G: There are two important differences. The first is that only the males have antlers, also the males are bigger than the females, about 10% bigger than the females. How heavy are they? G: A fully-grown deer weighs about 150~200 kilograms. M: What do they eat? G: In summer they eat mainly grass. In autumn they eat nuts and fruits that fall from the trees of the forest. In winter when there is very little other food, they eat the leaves of the trees. W: At what time of the year do the deer have their young? G: In summer. In the wild, young deer hide in long grass for the first few weeks after birth. Then when they are stronger on their feet, they join the mothers. M :Is it easy to catch wild deer? G: Very difficult. They can smell you from a long way away. They can hear and see very well too. W : How can you tell the difference between a milu deer and other deer? G: Well. the coat is bright red in summer and grey in winter. They have big feet and a long tail. |

Pressure too much?
In our daily life we are used to hearing these words, “I can't wait for my holiday,” “I wish I could stay home today” And “I'm very tired.” These words come from pressure at work. Now the “iron rice bowl”(鐵飯碗) is being broken into pieces. Workers may be fired if they don’t perform their duties well. They have to do their jobs better.
People feel pressure not only because they might find themselves out of work but also because they get no real pleasure from their work. For most of the workers, work is just a way of earning money. It appears to be meaningless and worthless.
But pressure is a natural part of work. There is no way to keep away from it. We should face up to it.
Work should be a cause of happiness and pride rather than a punishment or a burden .In fact, a certain amount of pressure can provide challenge and chance for learning. To a modern man who is worried and low in spirit, developing a hobby and finding a new interest is of first importance. I like listening to pop music, which makes me calm and gives me pleasure.
If pressure becomes difficult to deal with, we should turn to our friends or families. We can have a drink with our friends and talk about the problem. We should always discuss our problems with our families. Good advice, warmth and happiness that families bring to us can reduce our pressure and encourage us to smooth away all difficulties.
【小題1】Peopel feel pressure at work mainly because ______.
A.they will lose their jobs |
B.most of them find less interest in their work |
C.they can make more money after work. |
D.they want to stay at home. |
A.Where there is work there is pressure. |
B.Work shouldn’t be regarded as punishment or burden. |
C.All modern men are worried and low in spirit. |
D.A certain amount of pressure is necessary. |
A.we should drink coffee with our friends |
B.we can get help and comfort from our friends or families. |
C.we can go home because it is warm |
D.to talk out the problem to our friends and families is the best way. |

It’s 10:30 p.m. and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. He blinks twice, and the message on the screen becomes clear: “ R U awake?”
But the late-night text does not annoy Brandon. He gets frequent messages and calls, even after bedtime. And he can’t imagine life without them. “ If I didn’t have a cell phone, I wouldn’t be able to talk to my friends or family as often,” he told TFK.
Brandon’s use of technology doesn’t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles in his room. With so many choices, it is no surprise that when he is not at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices. Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to 18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found. That’s about an hour more than just five years ago.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
“ These devices have opened up many more opportunities for young people to use media, whether it’s on the bus, on the way to school or waiting in line at the pizza parlor,” says Rideout.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. “ If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?” Media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. “ It’s a matter of balance,” says Olson. “ You’ve got to work on it.”
Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. “It’s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply,” says Rideout.
Logan Jones, 11, of Maumelle, Arkansas, describes himself as a “game freak”. Still, he is glad not to have unlimited time with his PlayStation 2. “I’ll tell my mom I’m going to play a game, and she’ll say, ‘Okay, but only for 30 minutes,’”, Logan told TFK.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. “ Kids should try,” adds Rideout. “:But parents might have to step in sometimes.”
【小題1】The text is mainly about kids’ _________
A.cell phone use | B.various hobbies |
C.favorite video games | D.using electronic devices |
A.Brandon feels annoyed about his late-night message. |
B.Olson is against teenagers’ using mobile phones. |
C.many teenagers lack friends in their middle school |
D.kids have too many electronic devices to choose from |
A.Watching TV while using the computer |
B.Talking on the phone while lying on the sofa. |
C.Playing video games after having lunch. |
D.Listening to loud music while relaxing. |
A.in order | B.in store | C.in sight | D.in control |
A.do homework while watching TV |
B.do homework in a place without disturbance |
C.spend more time on homework |
D.have less homework |

Editor’s notes: AWL is well known for its dictionaries and English language teaching materials. Some readers have written in to ask us for the latest information on high quality books on English, so here we introduce two texts that aim to improve spoken English fluency.
Let’s speak (Beginner)
By Bev Dusuya, Naoko Ozeki and Kevin Bergman
ISBN: 962001359X
Speak Up(Pre-Intermediate)
By Bev Kusuya, Nako Zeki
ISBN: 0583338050
“Teach the students about your culture and help them talk about their own.” How often are these worthy goals kept from being achieved by the limitations of your beginner level learners? Students at all levels want to talk about culture.
Topics include food, shopping, sports, fashion, the roles of men and women, health, music, and many more.
These are all chosen from surveys of over 15,000 students about their own interests in cross-cultural communication.
“Let’s Speak” and “Speak Up” share a special but excellent way that allows all students to take part in.
The series has questions which start thinking and then help collect opinions about personal topics. Conversation practice is provided by ready to use (現(xiàn)成的)models of basic exchanges on the topic. Also, the cultural information presented in the series comes in the form of interesting, relevant(相關(guān)的)facts and ideas from other countries through listening tasks and Culture Quiz exercises.
Team activities in books provide lively problem solving games to enable sharing and comparison of cultural values.
“Let’s Speak” is fit for entry level students of all ages. “Speak Up” provides for the needs of higher level beginners, offering the same careful listening and speaking help, but with slightly more open ended discussion.
