新编大学英语(浙大版)第四册课后答案全集(3)

18我从没这么紧张过!我有三次没有接住火把!可是我不想让观众看出我有多么紧张， 便尽量使我的失误看起来是节目安排的一部分。我发疯般地跳舞，在火把上跨来跨去，发 出丛林里的声音，直到我可以把它们捡起来继续杂耍表演。人们鼓掌喝彩。他们喜欢我的 节目。我也总算念完了那些通知。

19过了一个月，我接到一个当地小学校长的电话。一个老演员请了病假，我能否接替他 表演，并且寓教于乐?“没问题，”我答道。

20三个星期后，我站在两百来个热切的孩子面前。我用自己学习杂耍的经历为例，给他 们讲道理。当我开始表演杂耍的时候，我故意把球掉在地上。我把它们捡起来，又让它们 落在地上。

21“开始的时候都是这样，”我说。可是，随着节目的进展，我的花样也变得越来越多。 我骑着独轮车耍球，我躺着耍球，慢慢站起来而又不让一个球掉下去。

22 45分钟以后，我给了孩子们一句忠告，作为节目的结束语： “不论是杂耍还是别的， 如果你们想成功，就必须不断地努力。你们能做到，只是永远不能放弃。”

这位上了年纪而从未结过婚的英国女士，在1930年第一次出现在小说《牧师住宅的谋 杀案》中时，年纪大约在65~070岁之间。在长达41年多的时间里，她出现在12部长篇小 说、20篇短篇小说中——最后一次破案时她已经很老了。

从外表上看，马普尔小姐高高瘦瘦，面色红润而布满皱纹，有着一双淡蓝色的眼睛， 雪白的头发在头上盘成老式的发髻。她的外表看上去不会给任何人造成伤害。再加上她那 漫无边际的闲谈以及永远都在身边的毛线针，她常常会引起人们的误解，把她仅仅看成是 一位“犹犹豫豫的老女人”。那可真是小看了她。那些真正了解她的人都明白，她是敏锐 的人类本性观察者，而且“不可思议地总是正确的”。

虽然马普尔小姐一生都生活在看上去枯燥乏味的圣玛丽牧场，她却相当老到地明白并 接受“我们周围尽是邪恶”这个事实。就像她经常指出的那样，大城市能找到的人性特征 和邪恶，在她住的村子及周边也都能找到。于是，她的破案方式就是找出圣玛丽牧场和外 面世界在生活和人物方面的相似之处。

Writing

MY Favorite Pastime

Sample 1：

My favorite pastime is writing．You may not think it is a pastime．But to me it is，because it is a form of relaxation that takes my mind away from other things when I feel tired．

I began to like writing when 1 was a pupil in primary schoo1 ．I was imaginative and created many interesting stories at that time．When I told my stories to my friends on our way home from school，they enjoyed them．Then telling a story 1 wrote on the way back home soon became my regular practice．That made me really happy．I had never thought of writing as entertainment before．Sometimes 1 wrote down my stories and passed them around among my classmates．

When 1 was in high school，I began to like poems．This was because of the influence of my best friend．She liked poems very much，so gradually I learned to appreciate poems．When I am writing poems，I can concentrate for a long time，totally losing myself．No matter whether I am happy or sad I start writing poems to express myself．

Let me tell you a little secret．Now I’m writing a science fiction about time travel．I’m sure it is original and interesting．However，writing definitely takes time，and how I wish I could have more time to pursue this hobby．I may not become a professional writer，but I will always enjoy writing．

(238words) Sample 2：

I usually spend my leisure time on various things such as watching TV,reading，swimming and playing table tennis．But if you ask me what’s my favorite pastime，1 would definitely say that it is playing computer games． I like computer games and surfing on the Internet．Many people believe playing computer games is harmful to one’s health，especially to the eyes．But I don’t quite agree．I think playing computer games benefits me．First，as a way of relaxation，it also gives me a sense of accomplishment．Secondly，I gain a lot of knowledge I cannot find in textbooks．For instance， when I played Civilization II，I began to realize the importance of science，because it was impossible to defeat the enemy in the game if you didn’t develop science．Finally and most importantly， I have to use an English—Chinese dictionary from time to time because most of the games are in English．So the more games I play，the greater progress I make in English．The games are entertaining and instructive．

I also like surfing on the Internet．There is a huge amount of information there．It has become more and more popular and important．It is said that those who control the Internet will conquer the world in the future．That is perhaps an illusion but I want to be a master of the future·

In a word，I like playing with my computer very much．It appeals to my curiosity and my desire to escape from the limited world of my room．

(255words) Sample 1：

Many people are often very busy with various things at work or at home so they have no time for entertainment．But this is really bad for one’S health．So we should make an effort to look form relaxation．A proverb says，“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy．’’

People in different regions may have different forms of activities．In China one of the most popular activities is traveling，especially going to the remote areas which are not seriously polluted. These isolated locations appeal to travelers who want to get close tO nature because they are tired of stressful city life．

Other people who can afford neither the time nor the money for travel will stay at home，watching TV , going to the movies or concerts，or inviting some friends over for a party·Children like to go to the park，play computer games，and participate in sports．Young women like to go shopping while young men prefer to stay at home，watching TV and drinking tea.

The popularity of pastimes varies according to age，sex，personality and financial situations. What …… 此处隐藏：4903字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
