His aunt told him that when he was saved, he would see a light, and something would happen to him inside! She also said he could see and hear and feel Jesus in his soul. Young Hughes believed in theliteral meaningthe hot, crowded church, waiting for Jesus to come to him.After the sermon by the preacher, all the children went to the altar one after another. This meant that they were saved. But Hughes kept sitting there. He was still waiting for Jesus to come, wanting something to happen to him. Now the whole congregation was praying for him alone. The pressure on him was increasing and he began to feel ashamed of himself, holding everything up so long. In order to avoid further trouble, Hughes decided to lie and say that Jesus had come. So he got up and was saved finally. That night, lying in bed, Hughes cried in agony. He felt guilty because he had lied in public and he didn抰believein Jesus any more.WRITINGSample Essay:My First Experience as a TeacherIt was a Sunday morning. I got up early and dressed myself in my Sunday best. It was my first day as a part-time teacher of English. It won’t be a difficult job teaching a group of child ren some basic English,?I thought to myself as I was walking towards a private kindergarten. The manager, a friend of mine, had informed me that this Sunday English Learning Program was initiated at the request of the parents, who wished to expose their pre-school children to some English. We don’t have textbooks and you may plan your teaching as you see fit,? the manager had assured mc.As I entered the kindergarten, I heard a mighty wail of shouts and cries coming out a classroom. That must be the classroom,? I said to myself andquickened my steps. I was shocked to see some 20 naughty and noisy kids talking and laughing. Some were chasing after each other while others were standing on their chairs singing. Strangely, when they sawme, they all quieted down and returned to their seats. In a hushed silence, punctuated by a few giggles from some girls, I introduced myself. Then I asked them in Chinese what they would like to learn and they all said that they wanted to learn an English song.I did not prepare for that, but I still remembered the “ABC Song”? that I learned when I was a kid. ? sang the song from memory and the expressions on their faces told mc that they liked it a lot. So ? wrote the 26 English letters on the blackboard and we started learning and singing together. it was fun, indeed.Then, I thought I’d better teach some sentences as I had planned. So I wrote on the blackboard HOW ARE YOU? and HOW OLD ARE YOU? making a point that they got to know the Chinese meaning of each word separately. By reading after me they were learning fast.Suddenly, a little boy rose to his feet and accused me of teaching them the wrong thing. Pointing his finger at the blackboard, he translated the sentences word for word into Chinese:zenme shi ni? zenme lao shi ni??The whole room then broke into a sea of shouting and waves of rejoicing swept over everyone’s face.My first teaching experience was a success and I learned a lesson, too: It is no easy job to teach.UNIT5Increase your language proficiency1) delight 2) ducked 3) thrust 4) strained 5) resentful 6) distressed7) alarmed 8) contradicting 9) intent 10) hovered 11) perched 12) wrestling2. l) went out for2) pin him down3) hold back4) now and then5) throwing a glance6) scrambled to my feet7) There’S no point in8) bent downIncreasing Your Word Power1. 1) The giraffe was bending down from its great height to browse the tender leaves on the lower branches.2) I was shocked to see a strong air current sweep him into the air.3) The company has launched some new projects to meet the challenge of a more fierce market in the coming year.4) The boxers wrestled with each other, both trying to seek an advantage to beat down the other side.5) All my roommates were asleep when T went back, so I tiptoed to my bedside, trying not to make a sound.6) With a great effort, the 70-year-old Japanese climber reached the top of Mount Qomolangma.7) As he read through the students? machine-made translations, a look of boredom came into his eyes.GIVE2) give: v. set aside (time, thought, strength, etc.) for purposeI’ll give the matter Some thought and let you know my decision next week.3) give: v. pay in order to buy; pay in exchange (for something)how much will you give for this sliver teapot?4) give: ii. bend or under pressureThe branch he was stretch sitting on began to give under his weight.5) give: punish in the stated way, esp. to time send to prison for the stated timeIf you don’t pay on time, you could be for given a fine of up to $1,000.STRAIN11) strain: v. injure a muscle or part of one’s body by using it too much or making it work too hardJames strained his right arm playing racquetball2) strain: v. make (too) great effortsThere was so much noise around that I had to strain to hear what he was saying.3) strain: v. press oneself closelyThe wretched bird strained against the bars of the cage, trying to get out.4) strain: n, a state in which one is greatly troubled by anxieties and difficultiesWith his divorce and his problems at work he’s been under a lot of strain recently.5) strain: n. damage to a part of the body caused by too great effort and often stretching of musclesHe was taken off the field suffering from a knee strain.CLOZE1) master 2) case 3) burn 4) bewilderment 5) baffled 6) swept 7) gasping 8) perched9) grinned 10) give 11) prostrate 12) queer 13) lurked 14) pounce 15) cubTRANSLATI ONWhen he was little, his father would bend down from his great height to sweep him into the air. But he was never afraid, not with his father’s hands holding him. To him, no one inthe world was as strong, or as wise, as his father.As he grew, he would lurk behind the kitchen door when it was time for his father to conic home at night. Lie would leap out when his father asked about him.After he went to school, they would wrestle on the floor together. Every time, his father would master him with ease, leaving him half resentful and half mirthful.In high school he was surprised to find that there was so much more of him, and he could look down on his mother. But when it came to wrestling, he was still no equal of his father.One night, he suddenly found that his father didn’t look nearly as tall as he used to. He could even look his father straight in the eyes now. He challenged his father once more and this time, it was his father who said, give? His mother helped his father to rise, and there was baffled pain in her eyes.His father spoke of a next time, and his mother did not contradict, because the three of them knew that there would never be a next time. He ran through the kitchen door, stood on the steps and let tears burn his eyes and run down his cheeks.WritingSample Essay:My Father and IWhen I was a small girl, I had an indescribable fear of my father, who looked so huge and strong and always spoke in a loud and harsh voice. He was a factory worker and seldom stayed home with me by day. In my memory, he never said anything like “I love you” to me, and I always saw him as being a strict disciplinarian who rarely cracked a smile. I still remember how I used to break into fits of temper and how I played a pampered child in the presence of my mother. But never did I dare to do so when my father was around. Theonly occasion when I could feel his affection was our occasional Sun day trips to the park -- My father would lift me tip and perch me upon his broad shoulders and I would hold lily head high like a princess.When I started school, I noticed a big change in my father. Tie became so gentle and caring toward me. I could always see sparks of affection in his eyes. Every day, he would get up earlier and walk me to school. It was then that we started to have heart-to-heart talks. He always inquired about my schoolwork and when I did not get a good grade, lie would give me a broad smile and say: never mind. You’ll do better next time”. And for years, my birthday present from him was invariably stationery. I knew that he wanted me to get a college education and make good, for lie did not have one owing to historical reasons.I’m a so phomore and living on campus flow. I seldom see my parents, but we make it a ruleto talk on the phone once a week. Unlike my mother who usually asks me to take care of myself, Father always talks about how to be a good person. My fear of him has long incited away and we both feel closer to each other now. Last night as we were about to end our phone conversation, he said in a shaky voice, “daddy loves you!” And before I could say “I love you, too” he hung up.UNIT6Increase your language proficiency1rusteddwarfsdwellpossessionsintensityassembledalertprobedfingeringawkwardly2spy onwatching forpresented itselfcame loosedrew backout of the reachmaking his roundsby accidentNo wonderempty ofIncreasing your word power1.1）The black suit he is wearing for the interview gives him the appearance of being smart and capable.2) She looked deeply tanned and fit after returning from her trip to Santa Barbara Beach.3) Her showy dress, with layers of complicated lace and a mixture of brightcolors, gives her the look of a richly decorated Christmas tree.4) Stepping out of the operating room, the surgeon shook his head and said to the waiting relatives, “I’m sorry, there is nothing more I can do.”5) It is a pity to see acres of big trees cut down on the mountain, leaving only the stumps rising in the air.6) “Of course Michael won’t be late; you know how punctual he always is,” she said without the least irony.7) The coach asked them to play with the ball in whatever way they liked, just to get the feel of it first.8) Mr. White’s eyes narrowed and his mouth tightened at the sight of the pupil fingering his mobile phone in class.2.CAST2) v. throw off, remove, get rid of e.g. The children cast off their shoes and ran happily along the beach.3) v. turn or direct e.g. Would you just cast an eye over this letter before I put it in the post?4) v. make a vote in an election e.g. All the votes in the election have been cast and the counting has begun.5) n. the actors in a play, film, etc. e.g. After the final performance, the director threw a party for the cast.CRACKv. cause to break open e.g. He cracked three eggs into a bowl and mixed them together.

There is sufficient value to be found in each type of friendship and they can meet our different needs.Convenience friends can make our lives more convenient and special-interest friends can bring more fun to what we study and when we play. But we would not come too close or tell too much with these two types of friends. Historical friends and crossroads friends represent particular periods in our past lives. We only need to connect occasionally, and the dormant intimacy would be instantly revived. From a friendship that forms across generations the younger person gets the benefit of the other’s experiencewhile the older person gets a youthful perspective. Man-woman friendships can bring to the two parties pleasures different from friendships formed with the same sex. Of course, what attracts us most are the best of friends, who totally love and support and trust each other, bare to each other the secrets of their souls, run –no questions asked –to help each other, and tell harsh truths to each other when they must be told. Best friends needn’t agree about everything and should be able to tolerate each other’s po int of view. Best friends will be there to comfort our sorrows and to celebrate our joys.
