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.

㈡ 八年级下上海牛津英语版的chapter One的More Practice翻译（比萨斜塔）

在全意大利所建造的塔中,比萨斜塔是最美丽的钟塔.它是比萨大教堂的钟塔.而这座大理石塔不仅仅是漂亮,它可能也是世界上最奇异的塔.它向一边倾斜,看上去像是要倒一样.这座塔始建于1173年8月,历时近两百年才竣工.没有人知道是谁设计了这座塔,但多年来,波那
诺 .皮萨诺被认为是其建筑师.在1319年,所有的楼层都完成了,多年后顶部钟房的修建工作终于开始了.历时近两百年的建造,这座钟塔才正式开放.塔有八层.54.5米高,有294级台阶,一直到钟房.从顶部往下看,风景如画,尽收眼底.意大利科学家,伽利略曾从顶部做过著名的重力和落体试验.这座塔为什么会倾斜呢?事实上,塔在建造时就已经在倾斜了.三层一建完,到1178年,随着地基下沉塔就开始倾斜.在继续往上修建新的楼层时,建造者试图使塔重新竖直,但是随着塔的增高,倾斜的越来越严重.塔继续以每年一毫米的速度倾斜,直到1990年1月7日,塔最终关闭,停止了对公众开放.十年来,拯救比萨斜塔一直是一个难题.比萨塔的顶部向南倾斜了5米,如果这重倾斜运动得不到抑制,那么塔终究有一天会倒塌.1911年的测量估计,,如果不提前的话,比萨塔将在2050年倒塌.经过十年的坚辛努力,该塔在2001年6月正式重新开放.然而,直到2001年末,比萨塔才向公共开放.\,即使现在,游客的数量也受到限制.对于未来300年,比萨塔是安全的,因为工程师已经使比萨塔的倾斜减少了50厘米,这样就和1838年的倾斜角度一样了.

全文的,希望你满意.

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、任务型阅读

Computer games are very popular with many teenagers. The games can be good entertainment (娱乐) 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 (影响) 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.

● They give more 5.? answers and their work gets neater

when games are used in class.

6.

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

●? They have an 8.to play.

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

Conclusion

● There is no definite answer to this question.

● We have to think for ourselves to make the right 10. .
