It was Monday. Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.

Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.

At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.

The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers.

But, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper.

㈡ 八年級下上海牛津英語版的chapter One的More Practice翻譯（比薩斜塔）

在全義大利所建造的塔中,比薩斜塔是最美麗的鍾塔.它是比薩大教堂的鍾塔.而這座大理石塔不僅僅是漂亮,它可能也是世界上最奇異的塔.它向一邊傾斜,看上去像是要倒一樣.這座塔始建於1173年8月,歷時近兩百年才竣工.沒有人知道是誰設計了這座塔,但多年來,波那
諾 .皮薩諾被認為是其建築師.在1319年,所有的樓層都完成了,多年後頂部鍾房的修建工作終於開始了.歷時近兩百年的建造,這座鍾塔才正式開放.塔有八層.54.5米高,有294級台階,一直到鍾房.從頂部往下看,風景如畫,盡收眼底.義大利科學家,伽利略曾從頂部做過著名的重力和落體試驗.這座塔為什麼會傾斜呢?事實上,塔在建造時就已經在傾斜了.三層一建完,到1178年,隨著地基下沉塔就開始傾斜.在繼續往上修建新的樓層時,建造者試圖使塔重新豎直,但是隨著塔的增高,傾斜的越來越嚴重.塔繼續以每年一毫米的速度傾斜,直到1990年1月7日,塔最終關閉,停止了對公眾開放.十年來,拯救比薩斜塔一直是一個難題.比薩塔的頂部向南傾斜了5米,如果這重傾斜運動得不到抑制,那麼塔終究有一天會倒塌.1911年的測量估計,,如果不提前的話,比薩塔將在2050年倒塌.經過十年的堅辛努力,該塔在2001年6月正式重新開放.然而,直到2001年末,比薩塔才向公共開放.\,即使現在,遊客的數量也受到限制.對於未來300年,比薩塔是安全的,因為工程師已經使比薩塔的傾斜減少了50厘米,這樣就和1838年的傾斜角度一樣了.

全文的,希望你滿意.

This is a chat between a human 「user」 and a computer. The computer was designed to be as human as possible. It was taught to talk to humans. It has also learnt from what people have said to it. This has helped it to become even more human.

It was first created in 1982. It has been getting better every year since then. Each time it chats? to a human, the list of things to say gets bigger. This means the computer has more things to say when you talk to it.

It is hoped that a computer like this will replace humans in call centres. When the programme is more realistic, this will be possible.

七、任務型閱讀

Computer games are very popular with many teenagers. The games can be good entertainment (娛樂) in their spare time. Some teachers think it is a good idea to use the same games to teach teenagers in school too.

They think that games can make children work harder. Also, if students are interested in the games, they will learn more. They say students are better at listening and thinking when they enjoy a lesson. They also think that answers are more thoughtful and work is neater when games are used.

Geography has been taught this way in some schools. A game is played by children and maps are drawn of the game 「World」. The images help the students 「see」 the world they are mapping. Some teachers also use games to help students start to write. They talk about people or places in the game. They write stories about what happens in the game 「World」.

Other teachers do not think that games are helpful in school. They say students are thinking about the game and not their work. They say the students have an excuse to play. They also think that the game keeps students busy, but they are not always learning.

Teachers have different answers to this question. Computer games are helpful for some teachers. They are unhelpful for others. No research has been done into the effects (影響) on students』 grades. We have to use our own thoughts to decide. Do you think that computer games should be used in your classroom? How helpful would they be?

? Should computer games be used in the classroom?

Opinion

?? 1.

Agreement

● Games can make students work 2. .

●? The more interested they are, the 3. they will learn. They are4. at listening and thinking when they are interested in a lesson.

●? Students pay more7.to games than their work.

●? They have an 8.to play.

●? Games keep them 9.but they may not be learning.
