1,A sense of wonder that lasts all their lives.
2,Their feeling that they know too little about nature.
3,Because only once the emotions have been aroused, do we then wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response. Then once found, such knowledge has far more lasting meaning than mere information.
4,They can still look up at the sky, listen to the wind, feel the rain on their face and contemplate the perfume and flavour of a fruit. City-dwellers can find a park or a golf course where they can observe the migrations of birds and the changing seasons, or plant a seed in a pot in the kitchen window.
5,She means paying more attention to the sensations and information we get from our senses. She suggests that we ask ourselves: "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?"
6,She answers the second question first: "Is the exploration of the natural world just a pleasant way to pass the golden hours of childhood or is there something deeper?"She is "sure there is something much deeper, something lasting and significant." The value she sees in it is inner peace, strength and satisfaction, as outlined in paragraph 7.
7,She is referring to the repeating cycles of nature, and to emotional/spiritual healing. As an example of a person who never lost his sense of wonder, no matter how old he became.
8,When he realized he was going to die soon. His statement shows that his sense of wonder extended even to death itself.

我真誠地相信，對於孩子們來說，對於想要指導他們的父母們來說，感受比知道要重要得多。如果事實是以後能長出知識與智慧的種子，那麼情感和感官印象則是種子必須賴以生長的沃土。幼兒時期就是培育土壤的時候。一旦情感被激起—— 一種對美的感受，對新的和未知事物的激動，一種同情、憐憫、敬慕或愛戀的感覺——我們就會渴望瞭解引起我們情感反應的事物。一旦找到，這種知識就比純粹的信息具有持久得多的意義。爲孩子們的求知慾鋪平道路比向他們灌輸一堆他們不準備吸收的事實更爲重要。

我希望於所有學生的是從未來的嚴酷無情中得到一些解脫。我希望他們有機會把他們每一階段的教育純粹作爲一種經歷來享受，而不是作爲一種爲下一步作準備的令人厭倦的需要。我希望他們有權利試驗、跌跤，並懂得失敗如同勝利一樣具有教育意義，而不是世界的末日。當然，我的希望是天真的。在美國人沒有聲明而擁有的爲數不多的權利之中，有一個便是失敗的權利。成就是民族之神，它在我們的媒體中受到崇拜——身價百萬的運動員，富有的主管人員——它在我們對財富的讚揚中得到榮耀。年輕人就是在這樣一種強有力的國教的薰陶下長大的。

對一個外國人來說，身在美國可能是一次奇特的經歷。在國外7年以後—4年在法國，3年在波蘭，我和妻子於一月份到達美國。從雜亂的初步印象中，我們編了一套從A到Z的解釋，來說明爲什麼對那些從歐洲到這裏的人來說，美國會是這樣陌生的一個國家。我應該一開始就說明我是一個英國人，但在佛羅里達出生的我的妻子莉薩卻是個如蘋果餡餅般地道的美國人。不過，在我們列出的清單中，A並不代表蘋果餡餅。它代表的是：雄心(Ambition)。在舊大陸中，人們受的教育是要掩飾它。在這兒，宣稱你在追求老闆的職位或者想在30歲以前賺上100萬美元，並沒有什麼不合適。

Some Differences between Families in China and America
There are some very striking differences between families in China and difference is that Chinese children always take care of their old parents. If they don't take care of them, friends and colleagues will gossip about them. Chinese society condemns this kind of behavior, and sometimes newspapers even write about children who neglect their old parents. But in the United States, adult children often put their parents in nursing homes, and this is seen as an acceptable (if not entirely desirable) thing to her difference is that Chinese parents sacrifice everything for their children, and they are very stern with them. Parents put a lot of pressure on their children to study hard. They think that studying will make the children successful. In fact, many teenagers study long hours a day and are not allowed to date. But in the United States, parents think their own lives are as important as their children's lives. They have more freedom, and they give their children more freedom too. Parents let their children stay alone or relax after school, and they think it's natural for their teenagers to date. (189 words)

1. The repetitions are “Every 23 minutes.”
2. There is a matching relationship among Paragraphs 24 to 26, Paragraphs 27 to 29 and Paragraphs 30 to 32. The matching relationship emphasizes the emotional effects of accidental deaths on survivors. A void opens, a heart breaks and a dreams ends. It seems there is no love, no escape and no future. Everything fades into nothingness.

Restrict Smoking in Public Places?
Should we allow smoking in public places? Some people are against restricting smoking in public places. They argue that restricting smoking would set up two classes of citizens — smokers and nonsmokers — and would be very confrontational. Such restrictions give nonsmokers virtual dictatorial power to determine where smoking may not be permitted. Moreover, they argue that people working in the same office can't be segregated because they have to communicate with each other.I would argue, on the other hand, that people can't ignore the dangerous effects of second-hand smoke. According to available statistics, about 5,000 Americans die each year because of second-hand smoke. Smoking is slow-motion suicide and second-hand smoke is slow-motion murder. Therefore, smoking should be banned in schools, hospitals, sports arenas, convention halls, theatres or other public places where people have to stay or wait. Businesses that permit smoking at work can provide a room or segregate smokers in one part of a room with proper ventilation. What is more, employees will save money by reducing illness and absenteeism if smoking is restricted in public places.

These are open-ended discussion questions with no "correct" or "incorrect" answers — anything grammatical that shows understanding of the target vocabulary is excellent. Please make sure the students understand that this exercise is an opportunity for them to practice their English as they feel is appropriate and useful for them. Their answers can be whole paragraphs, or just single sentences; and/or they can produce several different short answers to each question — it's up to them. The only requirement is that they use at least one of the vocabulary items in each sentence they write (and that the sentences make some kind of sense!).

遺憾的是，“三腳貓”已經過時了。過去如果一位女士或先生會唱一點，畫一點，拉一點小提琴，那就是一種地位的標誌。你不必很出色;問題是你很幸運，擁有這一份閒情逸致。但是在今天充滿競爭的世界裏我們甚至在業餘愛好方面也必須是“專家”才行。

Paragraph 6: People can't enjoy dancing as entertainment. "Going dancing" doesn't anymore mean putting on a pretty dress and doing a few turns around the dance floor. Instead it means squeezing into tights and leg warmers, then sweating through six hours of warm-ups, five hours of ballet and four hours of jazz every graph 9: People do not take up new hobbies since they don't have the time to perfect them. A woman does not want to learn a foreign language because she can't become fluent in the language within one year. Low level accomplishment only embarrasses her.
Paragraph 12 echoes Paragraphs 1 and 2, for both deal with the author's life experiences of doing hobbies just for the sake of entertainment or physical development. The author strongly believes that people should enjoy their "creative fooling around" and that they don't have to be "experts" in everything so long as they are good at one or two other things.

A Small Act of Kindness
Once I was traveling in a small poverty-stricken town in South Africa. On a bus a woman gave a package of biscuits to a poor and hungry child she didn't know. This small act of kindness cost her little but it brought great joy to the child and some comfort to the grandfather who carried the child on his back.
The effect of that act might have stopped there but it didn't. Other people on the bus saw and felt drawn to the child and his silent guardian. They opened their hearts and became interested in the plight of these two. Many people on the bus offered whatever they had to help them. There is no telling what kindness to others this remembrance will lead to. I shared the story with my teachers and classmates upon my return. It touched their hearts and made them more aware of others.
Many say that one person can not make a difference in society but this is wrong. From one woman's kindness on a bus, many others learned about compassion. And from each of them, many others will also learn the power of compassion. (191 words)
