The Million Pound Bank Note

This is a famous novel based on a genuine story,whose author is Mark Twain, who was brought up in his birth place -America and loved adventures.

Henry, an American businessman landed in London by accident.About a month ago, he took a chance to go home on his boat. While sailing out of the bay, he met a strong wind and was carried out to sea, later,he was spotted by a ship. By working as a barber on the ship, he earned his passage and came to London. He went to the American embassy to seek help, but they didn’t permit him in. The impatient ambassador started at him and refused to help him. Perhaps, it was his appearance in rags that accounted for their rude manners.

Henry was wandering on the pavement feeling helpless when two old and wealthy brothers invited him to enter their house. They gave him an envelope with a big note in it ,Henry didn’t open it, but indeed, that was an amount of money. After thanking the two men, he left with the envelope. He came to a restaurant, where he ordered a nice big steak and a pineapple dessert, However, he was treated coldly. When Henry took out the million pound bank note from the envelope,both the waiter and the owner were shocked and screamed, feeling unbelievable. Immediately, they bowed and apologized to Henry and even told Henry that“having you here is a great honour!As for the bill,Sir,please forget it.”

译文：

百万英镑

这是一部以真实的故事为基础的著名小说，其作者是马克吐温，他在他的出生地美国被抚养大，他喜欢冒险。

亨利，一个美国商人偶然的机会到了伦敦。大约一个月前，他冒险乘船回家。当驶出海湾，他遇到了大风，被带到了海上，后来，他被一艘船发现。靠在船上当理发师，他挣到了船费，来到了伦敦。他去美国大使馆寻求帮助，但是他们不允许进去。不耐烦的大使盯着他看，拒绝帮助他。也许，就是他衣衫褴褛的外表说明了无理的原因。

亨利正无助地徘徊在人行道上这时富有的老兄弟俩邀请他进他们家。他们给他一个里面有一张钞票的信封。亨利没有打开它，但确实那是一大笔钱。感谢了两人之后，他带着信封离开了。他来到一家餐馆，他点了一大份美味牛排和一份菠萝甜点，可是他受到了冷遇。当亨利从信封里拿出百万钞票的时候，服务员和老板震惊了并且尖叫着，感觉难以置信。他们立刻向亨利鞠躬道歉，甚至告诉亨利“有您在这是个巨大的荣耀，至于账单，先生，请忘了吧。”

The Origin of Life

It is a fact that each religion and culture has its own ideas how life began on earth. However, there is a widely accepted theory telling us that universe began with “Big Bang”. After that, the earth was just a cloud of dust floating everywhere. About 3.8-4.5 billion years ago, the dust settled into a solid globe, which is a planet belonging to the solar system. The earth became violent and exploded with fire and rocks, producing carbon dioxide,nitrogen,water vapour and other gases, which were to make the earth’s atmosphere. With the earth cooling down, water began to appear on its surface,which is fundamental to life, because it allowed the earth to dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas, which produced a chain reaction.

 Millions of years later,small plants appeared and multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen, which created conditions of other creatures coming into being. Reptiles produced young by laying eggs while mammals gave birth to young baby animals. Later, human race came into existence, who in their return, became the most important animal on the planet, but because human beings are putting too much dioxide into the atmosphere,which prevents heat from escaping from the earth into space, causing warming-globe. Mankind has never stopped exploring outer space to settle scientific puzzles, including biologists, astronomers, physicists and geologists. They cheered up to experience no gravity and pull. Our country has launched 55 satellites into space so far, which causes other countries to watch out for our achievements of astronomy.

译文：

生命的起源

事实是每个宗教和文化对于地球上生命如何开始的都有自己的观点。可是有一个广泛接受的理论，宇宙始于大爆炸。那之后，地球只是到处漂浮的尘埃。大约38-45亿前，这团尘埃最终形成一个固态球体，它属于太阳系的一颗行星。地球变得狂暴，爆炸喷发出火和岩石，产生了二氧化碳，氮， 水蒸气及其他气体，这一切即将形成大气层。随着地球冷却，地球表面开始出现了水， 水是生命的根本。因为，它使地球把有害的气体和酸溶解到海洋中产生连锁反应。

数百万年之后，小植物出现并繁殖，使海洋充满了氧气，为其他生物的诞生创造了条件。爬行动物靠产卵繁育后代而哺乳动物生育幼崽。后来，人类诞生了，轮到人类成为这个星球上最重要的动物，但是人类往大气层中排放大量的二氧化碳，阻止热量从地球逃离进入太空，造成了全球变暖。为了解决科学之谜，人类从来没有停止探索太空，包括生物学家，天文学家，物理学家和地质学家。他们体验无重力和引力而振奋。我们国家到目前为止已经向太空发射了55颗卫星，这引起了其他国家对我们的天文学成就虎视眈眈。

三、短文改错

Is the moon a planet? This question is fundamentally if students are to show that they understand the nature of astronomy. Some scientists think that the earth gave birth for the moon because the moon circles our planet. Others believe that the moon was existed before the earth was formed. They think that it was a small planet which was catching by the earth’s gravity. As result, it goes around our planet. The evidence for this theory is that the atoms that makes up the rocks on the moon seem to be different from that on earth. The moon is small than the earth, which prevents it from escape from escape from the earth. Although its origin may still be puzzled, the moon can never be anything more than a satellite of the earth.
