As a surgeon, I have seen a lot of deaths. I am rarely astonished by anything. The other day, however, one humorous and slightly odd story I heard touched me. A doctor told me that a very old woman he was treating was lying motionless on her pillow face down. He thought she was dead, but when he approached, he noticed she was breathing. Her hospital gown exposed her back bare, so he put a cover over her. Just then she sat up slowly, startling the doctor. She seemed quite alive.
“I thought you were nearly gone,” the doctor said. “Your breathing was so shallow and you seemed lifeless.”
“Never mind that, doctor, I’ve been waiting for you,” the old woman said quite confidently as if she were his mother. She had been a good mother to four, but she had survived them all. She gracefully handed the doctor a jar of strawberry jam. “Take the lid off and try some,” she said. He sampled a little and told her it was delicious.
“Good,” she said, handing him a piece of paper with writing. “This is how to make it.” He understood what a (n) privilege she had given him and took it with thanks and then left. The old woman lay back down and died soon after his departure.
作为一个外科医生，我看到很多人死亡。我很少对一些东西感到惊讶。然而，前几天，一个幽默又稍有古怪的故事却深深的打动了我。一个医生告诉我他为一个很老的女人看病，她一动不动地躺着，脸埋在枕头里，他本以为她已经死了，但当他走近时，他注意到她有呼吸。她的病服（病人住院穿的袍子）是敞开的，露出她的背，于是他把盖在她。就在这时，她慢慢地坐了起来，医生被怔住了。她看起来活得很好。
“我还以为你已经死了，”医生说。“你的呼吸几乎没有，所以看起来像死了一样。” “没关系，医生，我一直在等你，”老妇人说相当自信，就好像她是医生的母亲一样。她曾经是四个孩子的好妈妈，但是她比孩子们都活得长（比某人长寿）。她优雅的递给医生一罐草莓酱。“打开盖子尝尝，”她说到。医生尝了一点儿并告诉她很美味。
“很好，”她说，递给他一张写着字的纸条。“这是做草莓酱的方法。”他明白这是老人给他的特别恩典，于是非常感谢的收下并离开了。这个老人躺回了差un工商的特权，她给了他，带着感谢，然后离开。离开后不久，老妇人就躺下去世了。

Do you know February 2nd is Groundhog's Day (土拨鼠日)? Legend has it that on this morning, if a groundhog can see its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If it cannot see its shadow, spring is on the way. Some believe that the means of forecast is rather arbitrary and is often incorrect. Others argue that it is significant because it recognizes that the different parts of nature are connected in some way. Each part is dependent on the rest of the parts for a healthy system. Some farmers pay close attention to the behavior of ducks and geese when predicting the weather. It is sensible to guess an early winter is coming when you see ducks and geese moving south in October. Many dog owners can tell when winter or spring will come by stroking their pet. In preparation for winter, a dog's hair becomes thicker. Dogs lose hair as spring sets in. Information gathered from nature can help people to take precautions against a hard winter or bad storm. Some animals are even believed to be able to detect when an earthquake will occur. People holding this belief even go further to say that information gathered by computers is often worthless and nature is far more accurate: Isn't it time we started paying attention to what is around us?
你知道二月二日是土拨鼠日吗（土拨鼠日）？相传，在这天上午，如果土拨鼠能看到它的身影，那么将有六个星期的冬季。如果它不能看到它的影子，春天就要来了。有些人认为这样的天气预报是相当武断的，往往是不正确的。其他人则认为这种方法是重要的，因为它认识到自然的不同是以某种方式连接在一起。每个部分都是依赖于其他的配件从而构成一个完整的(健康的)系统。一些农民通过关注鹅和鸭的行为来预测天气。如果你看到鸭和鹅在十月时就向南方迁移，那就可以得出合理的猜测，冬天即将来临。许多家里养狗的人通过轻轻拍打(抚摸)他们的宠物也能预测冬天或者春天即将来临。为了做好过冬的准备，狗毛会变厚，同理，如果狗开始掉毛，说明春天要来了。
从大自然收集信息可以帮助人们预防严冬或暴风。一些动物甚至被认为能够检测地震的发生。人们持有一种观点认为电脑收集的信息通常是正确的但是从自然界得来的信息会更加准确：难道现在还不是我们应该关注我们周围事物的时候吗？
Unit 7
Bill Gates is known around the world for the founding of Microsoft. And, most people are quite aware that his evolution from computer hacker to the world's richest man was due in large part to his partner Paul Allen. But, while Gates' fame has mushroomed since the beginning of Microsoft, Allen has remained less famous. Many around the world have followed the life of Gates, but are ignorant of what has happened to Allen. In fact, as most in the Northwest can tell you, Allen has made quite a (n) impact on the region and the world. In 2000, he retired from Microsoft, but the company retains him as a permanent advisor to top executives. Not all of Allen's interests involve commercial success. Allen has given four hundred million dollars in charity to the University of Washington for science and technology research. He created the Experience Music Project in Seattle, employing famous architect Frank Gehry to design the building. This is not his only contribution to the arts. Allen is very involved with modernizing Hollywood's movie technology. His film studio is the most advanced in the world. He has also built a sports empire, buying both a basketball and a football team as well as helping to support a local stadium, and he owns a sports magazine. Oh, and let's not forget, Allen is the seventh richest man in the entire world. Not bad.
比尔盖茨因为创办微软而世界闻名。而且，大多数人都很清楚，他从电脑黑客转变成(演变，进化)世界首富这个过程中，很大程度上是由于他的合伙人保罗艾伦。但是，自微软创建，在盖茨的名气迅速上升以来，艾伦仍然不太出名。世界各地的人们都在跟随盖茨的脚步，但都忽视了艾伦身边发生的事。事实上，正如大多数西北的人们可以告诉你，艾伦为这个地区甚至整个世界都有很大的影响力。在2000，他从微软退休，但该公司保留了他作为永久性的顾问公司高管的职位。艾伦不是所有的资产都用于创造商业成功，他出资四亿美元给慈善机构，用于在华盛顿大学科技研究。他在西雅图创办了音乐体验项目，聘请著名的建筑师盖里设计的建筑。这不是他的唯一为艺术所做的贡献。艾伦还参与好莱坞现代化技术电影制作。 他的电影工作室是世界上最先进的。他还建立了一个体育帝国，买一个篮球和一个足球队以及帮助支持当地的体育馆，他拥有一家体育杂志社。哦，别忘了，艾伦是在整个世界上第七富有的人。不错。
Unit 8
You have probably heard of Dolly. She is the world's first cloned sheep and quite famous. You would never know that she was such a famous animal just by looking at her, though. \as unremarkable-looking as any sheep there ever was,\famous sheep.
Now that Dolly has successfully been cloned, there are many scientists observing her every movement. Their hope is that they never detect anything remarkable with Dolly. One of the scientists humorously remarked, \will actually happen.\between Dolly and the sheep she was copied from are so minor that they go unnoticed.
\create animals with remarkable qualities. This is not true. We simply are showing that we can make a (n) identical copy of the original safely and that the sheep is normal.\
Despite the protests of the scientists working on the project, the debate over whether cloning is safe goes on. The US congress organized a national commission to study the legal and moral implications of cloning. Many would like to abolish all research on cloning. And while everyone argues, the scientists are simply continuing to watch Dolly.
你可能听说过的多利。她是世界上第一只克隆羊并且相当有名。仅通过它的外表你永远不会知道她是一个如此出名的动物。尽管她和这里其他的羊一样，外表都很寻常。一位照看这只名羊的科学家说道。Tend to sb 照看某人
现如今，多利已经被成功的克隆，有许多科学家都在观察她的一举一动。他们的希望是不在多利身上发现任何异常的地方。一个科学家幽默地说，“这是一个相当无聊的工作，总是坐在那里希望什么都不会发生。”但这是他们应该做的最基本的工作。他们希望多利和那些用于克隆多利的羊之间的任何一点差异能小到他们发现不了。
“我们没有希望多莉有多长寿或跳得多高。有人说我们故意创造卓越品质的动物。这种说法是不准确的。我们只是单纯的展现我们可以安全地复制一个完全相同的羊，而同时它和其他的羊一样正常。
尽管有人反对科学家的这项工程，关于克隆是否安全的争议也在与日俱增。美国国会组织了一个国家委员会来研究克隆的法律和道德影响。许多想废除所有对克隆的研究。但是即便大家都在争论不休，科学家们还是继续观察着多利。
