英译中 Americans are much more likely than citizens of other nations to believe that they live in a meritocracy, i.e. Government by people selected according to merit. But this self-image is a fantasy: America actually stands out as a the advanced country in which it matters most who your parents were, the country in which those born on one of society’s lower rungs have the least chance of climbing to the top or even to the middle.
And if you ask why America is more class-bound in practice than the rest of the Western world, a large part of the reason is that our government falls down on the job of creating equal opportunity.
The failure starts early: in America, the holes in the social safety net mean that both low-income mothers and their children are all too likely to suffer from poor nutrition and receive inadequate health care. It continues once children reach school age, where they encounter a system in which the affluent send their kids to good, well-financed public schools or, if they choose, to private schools, while less-advantaged children get a far worse education.

　　Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about

　　the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In

　　the 16 th century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.

　　Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man

　　in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed

　　them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead,

　　he fell to the ground and broke every bone of his body and rested in peace.

　　The first real step took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers,

　　made a very large “hot air balloon”. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon

　　with it？ The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and

　　Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air

　　passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how

　　they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the

　　animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above

　　Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled

　　about.

　　6. Leonardo Da Vinci _______.

　　A. said that man would fly in the sky one day

　　B. built a kind of machine which never flew

　　C. made designs for flying machines

　　D. drew many beautiful pictures of birds

　　7. Eight hundred years ago an Englishman _______.

　　A. made a kind of flying machine

　　B. tried to fly with wings made of chicken feathers

　　C. wanted to build a kind of balloon

　　D. tried to fly on a large bird

　　8. In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly _______.

　　A. got badly wounded B. succeeded in flying

　　C. lost his life D. flew only 8 minutes

　　9. The very first air passengers in the balloon were _______.

　　A. two animals B. the Montgolfiers

　　C. two Frenchmen D. the King and Queen

　　10. When did two Frenchmen rise above Paris？

　　A. In December 1783. B. In September 1783.

　　C. In the 17 th century. D. In November 1783.

Jessie lived in the country, but one year she decided to visit the capital city to do some shopping and to see the sights. She stayed at a hotel near the central market. She had seldom been to the city before, and was very excited about what she would find. On the first morning of her visit, as she walked from the hotel to the market, she passed a beggar.
He was holding up a notice which said, “Blind from birth. Please give generously.”
Jessie felt sorry for the blind beggar and she bent down and put a dollar coin into his bowl.
“Thank you,” he said.
On the third day, however, Jessie did not have a dollar coin. She had only fifty cents, so she dropped this into the beggar's bowl.
“What have I done wrong？” the beggar said, “Why are you so stingy (吝啬) today？” Jessie was very surprised by what the beggar said.
“How do you know I haven't given you a dollar？” she said “If you are blind,you can't know what coin I put into your bowl.”
“Ah,” explained the beggar,“ the truth is I'm not blind. I'm just looking after this place for the regular beggar while he's on holiday.”
“On holiday!” Jessie exclaimed. “And what exactly does your blind friend do on holiday？”

Are you thinking of writing someone a letter？ Call instead. It isn’t that expensive, especially when you call during the evening, night, or weekend hours. In fact, you can make a ten-minute call anywhere in the continental United States for just $2.60.
For even greater saving, always dial direct, that is, without an operator’s help. Rates(资;费) on direct calls are lower after five o’clock in the evening and lowest after eleven o’clock at night. Collect, person-to-person, and pay phone calls require the services of an operator, and they cost more than direct calls.
Need to call out of the country？ Now calls to many overseas places may be dialed direct. Check your telephone direction for overseas area codes.
Next time you have good news, or you just want to stay in touch, remember, a phone call means so much more than a letter. This has been a message from Southern Bell Telephone Company.
