Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list 26 in our past that we felt 27 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very 28 process, but there’ s always some 29 soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then 30 that we find ways to 31 people, or take some action to right any wrongdoings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 32 my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 33 ,I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff 34 of us kids liked. One night, my two friends and I decided to play a 35 on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s. o. b. The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 36 .Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 37 found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’ s name 38 on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still 39 .Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few 40 ,I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it？”Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a 41 discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 42 your friends got it off their chest, but you were carrying it 43 all these years. I want to thank you for calling me…for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to 44 all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’ s never too late to 45 the past wrongdoings.

Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were all started before the American Revolution made the thirteen colonies(殖民地)into states.
In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men attended colleges. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.
In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard’s law school. In 1852,Havard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German, as well as Latin and Greek. Soon it began teaching American history.
As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.
Special colleges for women were started. New state universities began to teach such subjects as farming, engineering and business. Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are divided into smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There is so much to learn that one kind of school cannot offer it all.

Dear Mr. Harrington,
I saw your name on a list of teachers of French who wish to spend their holidays in France this summer. I am a teacher of English in Saint-Simon, a small village in the Loire Valley, just south of Saumur. I should very much like to spend some time in England, because it is many years since I had a chance to practise my English. Perhaps we could exchange house for three weeks in late July or early August.

Our village carpenter, Alf Winn, came one day and made a kitchen cupboard for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the useless space between the cooker and the door. When I got home that evening, Alf was drinking a cup of tea and making out his bill for the job.
My wife said to me, quietly, “That’s his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said, loudly, “It’s a beautiful cupboard, dear, isn’t it?”
“I’ll decide about that when I see the bill,” I said.
Alf laughed and gave me his account for the work. I read:
One kitchen cupboard 10 Nov.2000
Cost of materials (wood) $17.00
Paint and fittings $1.50
Work, 8 hours (1 an hour) $8.00
Total $36.50
I took out my check book and my pen. I looked at the bill. Alf said, “It’s been a lovely day, hasn’t it? Quite sunny.”
“Yes,” I said, “I’m glad it’s only the 10th of November.”
“Me too,” said Alf. “You wait—it’ll be a lot colder by the end of the month.” “Yes, colder and dearer! Kitchen cupboards will be 20 dearer on November 30, won’t they, Alf?”
Alf looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his account back to him.
“If it isn’t too much trouble, Alf,” I said, “Please add it up again. You can forget the date.”
I wrote him a check for $26.50. He was happy to accept it.

At the entrance to a big office in London there was a book which all employees had to sign when they arrived each morning. At nine o’clock, the manager’s secretary, who lived in a small flat above the office, had to draw a red line under the last name in the book, and anyone who came after that had to explain why he was late.
Whenever there was a thick fog in the city, the first person to arrive late usually wrote “Delayed by fog” under the red line in the book, and then everybody else who came after that just put “ditto” underneath.

In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media (传媒) work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations are privately (私人的) owned. The government does not give them money. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses.
Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years. people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of “Keeping your name before the public” And some people thought that advertising was “truth well told”. Now more and more people consider it in this way: Advertising is the paid, non-personal, and usually persuasive presentation of goods, services and ideas by some certain sponsors (发起人) through various media.
First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertisements we see, read, and hear over the various media. Second, advertising is non-personal. it is not face-to-face communication. Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it asks people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service advertised can benefit them. Fourth, the sponsors of the advertisement must show their names. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a company, or a single person. Fifth, advertising reaches us through old and modern mass media. Included in the old media are newspapers. magazines, radio, television, and films. Modern media include emails, matchbox covers, and boards on top of buildings.
67. The existence of the privately owned mass media depends on the support of_____.

六。 书面表达
During the summer holidays this year, I thought I should do something meaningful instead of staying at home, So I got a job at a KFC fast food restaurant and worked there as a cleaner. I worked seven hours a day for three weeks.
The job was hard and boring and seemed endless, which made me so tired that I nearly gave it up half way. After all, I stuck to it with determination.
Every day I started off for work early in the morning and got home late in the evening. Finally I finished the job before the new term began.
Now, I understand what labor means. I think it is really a successful experience.
