      On the page headed May l7,2517,Margie wrote in her diary,“Today Tommy found a real book!”

      It was a very old book covered with dust.Margie’s grandfather once said that long ago all stories were printed on paper

      “What is it about?” asked Margie

    “School”

    “School? What’s there to write about school? I hate school.”

     Margie hated school now more than ever.The electric teacher had bee giving her drill after drill in geography and she had been doing worse and worse until her mother had finally sent for someone to fix the teacher

    The man came with a whole box of tools.He turned off the elecuicity,and started to repair the teacher.There was a momtor that showed questions,and a hole where Margie had to put compositions and test papers.The electric teacher marked the paper quickly.

    Margie asked Tommy,“Why would anyone write about school?”

    “Because it’s the school they bad hundreds of years ago”

      Margie read the book for a while,then said,“Anyway,they had a teacher?”

      “Yes,but it was a man”

    “A man? How could a man be a teacher?”

    “Well,he just told the kids things and gave them homework”

    “A man isn’t smart enough.”

    “Sure he is.My father knows as much as my teacher’’

    “But I wouldn’t want a strange in my house to teach me.”Margie argued

    Tommy laughed.“The teacher didn’t live in the house.They had a special building and all the kids went there”

    “And all the kids learnt the same thing?”

    “Sure,if they were the same age”

      They weren’t even half-finished when Margle’s mother called.“Margfa! School!”

    Margie went into the school next to her bedroom,and the electric teacher was waiting far her them.It was the same way every day except Saturday and Sunday

    The monitor lit up,and it said,“Please put yesterday’s homework in the proper hole”

    Margie sighed and threw a dirty sock at the machine.She was thinking about the old days.All the kids from the whole neighborhood came to the school,Iaughing and shouting in the yard.They could even help one another with the homework

    And the teachers were people!

How happy they were in the old days,Margie thought.

1.When did the story in the passage take place?

                                                                               

2.Wny did Margie hate school?

                                                                               

3.How did Margie feel when she heard that teachers of hundreds of years ago were people instead

  of machines?

                                                                               

4.How did kids in Margie’s time receive education?

                                                                               

5.What does the underlined word“They”refer to in the title?

Dr. Sylvia Earle wants you to stop eating fish. It’s not because fish are endangered, though wild fish stocks in many oceans are very low. It’s not because they’re bad for you, though fish in many areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water.     .

“Fish are sensitive; they have personalities, says the marine biologist. For Earle, eating a fish would be like eating a dog or a cat. “I would never eat anyone I know personally.”

There’s a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to be touched, and they engage in behavior that can seem very human.     . Earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these as strong arguments against eating fish altogether.

     . “While it may seem obvious that fish are able to feel pain, like every other animal, some people think of fish as swimming vegetables,” says Dr. Lynne Sneddon. “Really, it’s kind of a moral question. Is the enjoyment you get from fishing (or eating fish) more important than the pain of the fish?”

Fishermen and (fried) fish lovers are skeptical. “I’ve never seen a smart fish,” says Marie Swaringen as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant. “    .”

“For years, everyone’s been telling us to eat fish because it’s so good for us,” says another diner. “Now I’ve got to feel guilty while I’m eating my fish?     ? Don’t eat salad because cucumbers (黄瓜) have feelings?”

A. What are they going to think of next  

B. It’s because they’re smart   

C. The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to the supermarket 

D. They can remember things and learn from experience 

E. Obviously fish are just a kind of vegetables

F. If they were very smart, they wouldn’t get caught

The pen is more powerful than the sword(利剑). There have been many writers who use their pens to write things that were wrong.  Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.
She was born in the U. S. A. in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.
This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom's Cabin. There was a time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child had read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting, if only to show how a warm-hearted writer can arouse people's sympathies. The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor seen a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the book, which they said did not at all represent the true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were widely excited over it, and were so inspired by it that they were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.
