6  The Sporting Spirit
I am amazed when I hear people saying that sport creats the goodwill between the nations, and that if only the common of peoples of the world could meet at football or cricket, they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefield. Even if one can not know from the concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that the international sports lead to the orgies of hatred, one can deduce it from normal knowledge.

Nearly all the sports practised nowadays are combative. You play to win, and the games have little meaning unless you do your utmost to win. On the village grass, you can choose sides and play just for the fun and exercise; but as soon as you feel that you and a large unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instinct is aroused. Anyone who ever played a school football match even knows this. At the international games, sport is a mimic warefare. But the most significant thing is not the behavior of the players, but the attitude of the spectator, and the nations they play for. They may consider running, jumping, or playing ball are tests of national virtue.

后一段只记得大概意思了，再看一遍

Seeing hands
Several cases have been reported in Russian recently of people who can read and detect colors with their fingers, and even through solid doors and walls. One case concerns an eleven-year-old schoolgirl, Vera Proteva, who has normal vision but who can also perceive things with some parts of her skin. This ability was first noticed by her father. One day she came into his office and happened to put her hand on the door of a locked safe. Suddenly she asked her father why he kept so many old newspapers locked away there, and even described the way they were done up in bundles.
Vera’s curios talent was brought to the notice of a scientific research institute in the town of Ulyanovsk, near where she lives, and in April she was given a series of tests by a special commission of the Ministry of the Health of the Russian Federal Republic. During these tests she was able to read a newspaper through an opaque screen and , strange still, by moving her elbow over a child’s game of lotto she was able to describe the figures and colors printed on it; and in an other instance, wearing stockings and slippers, to make out with her foot the outline and color of a picture hidden under carpet. Other experiments showed that her knees and shoulders had a similar sensitivity. During all tests Vera was blindfold, and indeed, except when blindfold she lacked her ability to perceive thing with her skin. It was also found that although she could perceive thing with her fingers the ability was ceased the moment her hands were wet.

Uth
People are always talk about ‘the problem of uth’. If there is one ---which I take leave to doubt---then it is old people who create it, not the young themselves. Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings---people just like their elders. There is only a difference between the old man and a young one: the young man has a glorious future before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him: and maybe that is where the rub is.
When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain--- that I was a new boy in a huge school, and I have been very pleased to be regarded as sth so interesting as a problem. For one thing, being a problem gives u a certain identity, and that is one of the thingd the young are busily in engaged in seeking.
I find young people exciting. They have an air of freedom, and they have not a dreary commitment to mean ambitions or love of comfort. They are not anxious social climbers, and they have no devotion to material things. All this seems to me to link them with life, and the origins of things. It’s as if they were, in some sense, comic being in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban creatures. All that is in my mind when I meet a young person. He may be conceited, all-mannered, presumptuous or fatuous, but a do not turn for protection to dreary clichés about respect for elders---as if mere age were a reason for respect. I accept that we are equals, and I will argue with him, as an equal, if I think he is wrong.

7  Bats
Not all the sounds made by animals serve as language, and we have only to turn to that extraordinary discovery of echo-location in bats to see a case in which the voice plays a strictly utilitarian role.

To get a full appreciation of what this means, we should turn first to several recent human invention. Everyone knows that if he shouts in the vicinity in a wall or a mountainside, an echo will come back. The further off this solid obstacle, the longer time will elapse for the return of the echo. A sound made by tapping on the hull of a ship can be reflected from the sea bottom, and by measuring the time interval between the taps and the receipt of the echoes, the depth at that point can be caculated. So was born the echo-sounding apparatus, now in general use in ships. Every solid object can reflect the sound, varying according to the size and the nature of the object. A shoal of fish will do this. It is a comparatively simple step from locating the sea bottom to locatin a shoal of fish. With experiences, and with improved apparatus, it is possible not only to locate a shoal but to tell if it is a herring, cod, or other well-known fish, by the pattern of the echo.

It is found that certain bats emit squeak and, by receiving the echoes, locate and steer clear of the obstacles--or locate flying insects on which they feed. The echo-location in bats is comparative with radar, the principle of which is similar.

Anyone who has played even in a school football match knows this. At the international level, sport is frankly mimic warfare. But the significant thing is not the behavior of the players but the attitude of the spectators: and behind the spectators, of the nations who work themselves into furies over the absurd contests, and seriously believe---at any rate for short period--- that running, jumping and kicking a ball are the tests of national virtue.

:loveliness: 呵呵 小小自夸一下 我最不怕被课文了 大概每篇用30min  只背诵时间
通常我都是这么背的 先听（非常重要）4，5遍吧 然后听写（也就能写出一半 听力差）  接着打开书跟读2，3遍（扫生词）  然后就可以开始背了   第一，二段通常读3，4便就记住了（短）记不住也别先看书 试着用另种方式表达 就当自己给自己讲故事 然后再翻书check 加深印象 更会觉得书上表达方式精妙  最后一段（长） 通常得分解背了：一句一句背 每背完一句就从这段重头串 基本上也就4，5句  这样的好处是理解句与句之间的逻辑结构 还能精读（废话） 最后在整个串3遍就行了
背下容易  我觉得更重要的是review 多听听原文 有时你背下来了听力还不一定都能听懂呢（指我 我听力差）

下周要期中考了 目前先不听写  大家都要加油  等nce4背完后咱们想想还有什么更有挑战性的事可做 可以试着听写一部电影再背下来:funk: :funk: 每当遇到新知识而不得不devour it时 我就告诉自己：就当扫盲了:loveliness:

刚刚偶然扫一眼大家写的 想对紫竹林说：有些没默下来的地方最后应check一下 既然背了就尽量准确（完美）嘛  笑 就像老师说的“90分跟100分还是有很大区别”

紫竹林UID：2210826

多谢laka的建议，呵呵
我发现现在背英语课文很费劲，真的不太能记住，听力也不好，所以用的时间比较多
我默写的一般是前一天晚上背的课文，反正能记住多少就写多少了，算作纪念了，之后也会check一下，记不住的比较多
反正相信付出总会有收获的，告诉自己别着急，慢慢来吧

8  Trading Standards
Chickens slaughtered in the United States, claim officials in Brussels, are not fit to grace European tables. No, say the Americans, our fowl are fine, we simply clean them in a different way. These days, it is the differences in national regulations, far more than tariffs, which put sand in the wheels of trade between rich countries. It is not just farmers who are complaining. An electric razor that meet the European Union standards must be approved by American testers before it can be sold in the United States, and an American-made dianalysis machine needs the EU's okay before it hits the market in Europe.

As it happens, a razor that is safe in Europe is unlikely to electrocute Americans, so ask businesses on both sides of the Atlantic, why have two lots of tests where one would do? Politicians agree, in principle, so America and the EU have been tried to reach a deal which would eliminate the need to double test many products. They hope to finish in time for a trade summit between America and the EU on May 28th. Although the negotiate are optimistic, the details are complex enough that they may be hard press to get a deal at all.

Why? One difficulty is to construct the agreements. The Americans would like to reach an accord on standards for medical devices and then hammer out different parts that covering electronic goods and other manufacturing.  The EU, following fine continental traditions, wants agreement on general principles which could be applied to many types of products and may be extended to other countries.

补昨天的作业
第9课没背下来，把第一段先说了吧

Royal Espionage
Alfred the Great acted as his own spy, visiting Danish camps disguised as a minstrel. In those days, minstrels were welcome everywhere. They were not fighting men, and their harp was their passpport. Alfred had learned many ballads in his youth and could vary his programmes with acrobatic tricks and simple conjuring.

When Alfred's little army slowly gathered in Athelney, the kind himself set out to penetrate the Danish camp. These had settled down for the winter and Alfred went there. He noticed that the discipline was slack: the Danish had their self-confidence as conquerors, and their security precautions were casual. They lived on the proceeds of raids, robbing of women, food and drink. The life with ease made them soft.

Alfred stayed in the camp a week  before he returned back to Athelney. The force there assembled was trival compared with the Danish horde. But Alfred deduced that Danish were not apt to prolonged battle, and their commissariat may be a serious problem.

不知道了，头昏昏的，应该是感冒了，偷一下懒了
