Peter Taylor finds out how computers and the Internet are going to affect our lives.
彼得泰勒发现了计算机和因特网会怎样影响我们的生活。
In last thirty years, the Internet has grown rapidly. In 1983, there were only 200 computers connected to the Internet; now there are around 50 million and this growth is clearly going to continue.
在过去的三十年中，互联网的迅速发展。1983，仅有200台计算机连接到Internet；现在有50000000左右，这一增长显然是要继续下去。
Some expert are pessimistic about the future. One worry is crime in cyberspace. Even now, young hackers can get into the computers of banks and governments. In the future, terrorists may “attack” the world?s computers, cause chaos, and make planes and trains crash.
一些专家对未来感到悲观。一个担心是网络犯罪。即使是现在，年轻的黑客可以进入银行和政府的电脑。在未来，恐怖分子可能会“攻击”全世界的计算机，造成混乱，使飞机和火车事故。
However, many people are optimistic about the future of the Internet. Already, users can buy books, find out about holidays offers, books tickets, and get all sorts of information from the Internet.

“In the next few years,” say Angela Rossetto of Cyberia magazine, “it is clear that we are going to see a huge growth in shopping on the Internet.” She also believes that, in the future, we will get entertainment from the Net and that television will probably disappear. The mail service may also disappear with the increasing use of e-mail.

Experiment in Folk 民间试验
Kong goes for folk! 孔去民间
The famous classical pianist, Kong Xiangdong, surprised his fans last week by giving a concert combining classical music with Chinese folk music. Kong explained that he tried this because he wanted to create something new. ―As a musician, playing the same music in different cities of the world is very boring,‖ say Kong. He also feels that playing Chinese folk music on the piano can help bring it the rest of the world.
著名的古典钢琴师，孔祥东，让他的歌迷们上周通过音乐会结合古典音乐与中国民间音乐。孔祥东解释说，他尝试这样做是因为他想创造一些新的东西。 ―作为一个音乐家，在世界不同的城市演奏相同的音乐是非常枯燥的，‖孔祥东说。 他还觉得，用钢琴演奏中国民族音乐帮助它在这世界上站稳脚步。
Music has always been part of Kong‘s world. As his mother was a great music lover, he lived with music from birth. But it wasn‘t always easy for the young Kong Xiangdong. His mother couldn‘t buy him a piano until he was seven. She had to draw piano keys on a piece of paper so that he could learn to play as early as possible. The 5-years old Kong would practise on the paper piano as his mother clapped the rhythm. He was made to practise the piano so much that, at times, he thought about giving up. However, he didn‘t quit, and he became a great pianist. In 1986, at the age of 18, he become the youngest prize winner in Moscow‘s Tchaikovsky International Competition. He went on to win awards in competition across the world.
音乐是孔祥东世界中的一部分， 他的母亲是一个音乐爱好者，他的生活伴随着音乐的诞生。但是它对于年轻的孔祥东不是很容易。他的母亲在他七岁之前不会给他购买钢琴。她不得不把琴键画在一张纸上，让他尽早的学习。伴着母亲用手拍的节拍，5岁的孔祥东在纸钢琴上练习。他在纸上钢琴上练习了很久，他有时想放弃。但是，他没有放弃，最终他成为了一个伟大的钢琴家。在1986年，他18岁时，获得了莫斯科柴可夫斯基国际大赛奖。他在世界各地的比赛中获得了竞赛奖
Because of Kong‘s talent and hard work, he became famous worldwide. But after years of performing, he became that in some ways he had lost his identity. This is why he went back to his roots and rediscovered the beauty in Chinese folk music. He began experimenting with different styles and his Dream Tour Concert is the result.
因为孔祥东的才能和勤劳，他才能闻名于世界。但是经过多年，他迷失了自己。
这就是他要落叶归根且重新发觉中国民间音乐的美妙的原因。他开始尝试在自己的梦想巡回演唱会上用不同的风格。
Kong‘s new experiment in Chinese folk music is so important to him that he even changed his appearance. When he arrived at his concert last week, he had shaved off all his hair! Since his music style was new, he decided his hairstyle had to be new too!
孔祥东在中国民间音乐的试验是多么重要，他甚至改变了他的容貌。当到他音乐会之前的最后一周时，他剃了他所有的头发！因为他的音乐风格是新的，他决定他的发型也应该是新的！
Whether Kong is changing his appearance or transforming his music, he is a pioneer in music today. The concert last week was such a success that Kong‘s Dream Tour Concert is expected to run for the next two years in Beijing, Shanghai, and other main cities before going to Paris and New york.
不论孔祥东是改变自己的形象或者是他音乐的改变，他都是当今音乐界的先驱者。 上周的音乐会是非常成功的，未来两年，孔祥东梦想巡回演唱会的将在北京，上海和其他的主要城市运行，在这之前，他将去巴黎和纽约。

Today these name s of music styles are less important to musicians. Radio, television and the Internet have made it easier for sounds to travel across cultures and styles have become more and more mixed. If there is one thing the history of popular music has shown, it is that good musicians will always create new music from the different styles they hear.
今天，这些名字的音乐风格的音乐家不重要。广播，电视和互联网已经使声音的跨文化传播和风格变得更加容易。如果还有一点流行音乐历史所反映出来的事，那就是优秀的音乐家总是从他们所听到的不同风格的音乐中去创造新的音乐。

你好，不要忘记我！我是优秀的篮球运动员。我会运球在两腿之间和让它在我的手指上自旋，我甚至可以做到用手搂着我的宝贝，然后让球转。在学校除了我没有任何人可以做到这个！我是你才艺展示的完美选择。
I would like to recommend Jim Liu to take part in the Show. He is unique. Jim Liu is a brilliant juggler. He can juggle balls like a profession-al juggler in a circus.

Unit 6
Lesson 1 A Matter of Taste
Xu Beihong (1895-1953) was important in modern Chinese folk art. During his lifetime, he developed the tradition of combining poetry with painting. Between 1933 and 1940, he held several exhibitions in Asia and Europe to promote Chinese art. Across this painting, named Racing Horse, we can see a horse running at high speed like a missile across the sky. On the left and right side of the painting, Xu Cleverly drew in black ink to show the moving hair on the horse‘s mane and tail. He also used different shades of grey in a creative way to show the sweat along the horse‘s body. The painting of dark and light colours is a favourite of many art lovers.
徐悲鸿（1895-1953）是现代中国重要的民间画家。在他的一生中，他发展了融诗，书法及绘画于一体的传统。在1933到1940年之间，为了促进中国绘画，他在亚洲和欧洲举行了几次画展。这幅画，名为赛马，我们会看到马像导弹一样在天空飞驰着。在这幅画的左边和右边，徐悲鸿用黑色的墨水巧妙的画出了移动中的马的鬃毛和尾巴。他还用深浅不同的灰色，以创造性的方式来显示马身上流淌的汗水。黑暗与光明，是许多艺术爱好者最喜欢的画的一个颜色。
Qi Baishi (1863-1957) was one of China‘s greatest painters. He worked with wood during his early youth. Then between
1902 and 1909, he travelled across the country and painted many pictures of scenery. His interest changed later to simple pictures from everyday life, such as vegetables, flowers, birds, and insects. Cabbage is a well-known example of Qi‘s work. The tiny insect near the cabbage has some red on its back. Its black eyes, which are fixed on the cabbage, show the creature‘s interest in the vegetable. Qi Baishi‘s style of painting often leaves the audience guessing and makes them use their imagination.
齐白石（1863-1957）是中国最伟大的画家之一。他年轻时，他用木头工作。在1902到1909年，他走遍了大江南北，画了很多山水画。后来他的兴趣转到来自日常生活的简单图像，如蔬菜，花卉，鸟类，昆虫。卷心菜是齐白石画作中最著名的一个。靠近白菜的一只小虫子背上有点红色。它的黑眼睛，这是固定在白菜，显示生物对蔬菜的兴趣。齐白石的绘画风格常常使观众猜测并运用他们的想象力。
Chen Yifei (1946-2005) was a very successful artist. His soft portraits of beautiful women are very valuable. In 1997, one of his paintings sold for US＄503,000. The painting, a young woman sits alone and is deep in thought. Her hand holding the fan is elegantly positioned above her knees. To emphasise the woman even more, Chen adds a lot of detail to the fan and the cloth of her dress, and chooses to paint the background behind the woman black. The folds of her dress are very beautiful painted.
陈逸飞（1946-2005）是一个很成功的画家。他的美貌女子软画是很有价值的。在1997年，他的一幅卖了我们503，000美元。这幅画，一位年轻女子倚靠独坐，
深思着。她拿着扇子的手优雅的放在膝盖上。为了更一步的突出这位女子，陈逸飞在扇子和她衣服的布料上加了很多细节。并选择黑色作为这幅画的背景。她衣服上皱褶是非常美丽的画。
Lesson 3 Chinese Paper Art 中国美术纸
The Art of Paper 艺术纸
Chen Zijiang is a paper-cutting expert whom I interviewed for my article on Chinese Art. Paper-cutting is something that he learned to do from an early age.
陈子江是剪纸专家，为写关于中国艺术的文章我采访了他。剪纸是他早期学会的。
―It is a Chinese folk art with a long history,‖ Mr Chen told me, ―Paper cuts of animals have been found in tombs which date back to the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasty!‖ He added that by the Southern Song Dynasty, paper-cutting had become an important part of everyday life. ―A young farmer who wanted a wife would look at a young woman‘s paper-cutting skills before marrying her!‖ explained Mr Chen, laughing at the look of surprise on my face.
它在中国民间有很长的历史了， 陈先生告诉我，动物剪纸的发现要追溯到
南北朝时期的墓葬中！ 他补充说，南宋时，剪纸就已经成了人们生活中重要的一部分。年轻农夫会通过剪纸技能来寻找年轻姑娘做自己的新娘！陈先生解释说。我的脸上布满了笑容和惊奇。
Mr Chen went on to explain that there are three types of paper cuts which people still make today: paper cuts for decorations, for religious purposes and for design patterns.
陈先生继续解释说，现在的人们仍然有三种类型的剪纸：装饰剪纸，宗教剪纸，
剪纸设计。
Papers cuts used for decoration are often seen on windows and gates. They are usually put up during holidays to bring good luck. They are also used on presents. A present for parents whose child has recently been born might show a paper cut of children, for example. Paper cuts which show the Chinese character for double happiness are often used to celebrate weddings.
装饰剪纸经常在窗口和大门上看到。这种剪纸通常在过节时张贴起来以求
好运。人们也经常用他们装饰礼物。例如，给新作父母的人的礼物上应该装饰有孩子图案的剪纸。剪纸汉字双喜常常用于庆祝婚礼。
Paper cuts used for religious purposes are often found in temples. They are also used as offerings to the dead. People to whom the dead person was related would make these offerings on special days and during festivals.
宗教性目的的剪纸常见于寺庙。它们常常被用来当作供品。死者亲属会在特殊的日子或节日剪这些祭祀剪纸。
The third kind of paper cuts are those used to make patterns in clothing. They are also sometimes used to decorate jewellery boxes. Dragons are very popular patterns for these designs.
第三种剪纸常用在衣服上的图案上中。它们有时被用于装饰珠宝盒。龙是
这些设计中非常受欢迎的。
The interview was very useful as I got a lot of interesting information for my article. I was also ready to try out paper-cutting for myself. ―See you next week,‖ I said as I waved goodbye to Mr Chen. I was going to meet him again so that he
could help me make my first paper cut!
这次访问为我的文章提供了很多有趣的信息。我自己也想尝试一下剪纸。下周见，我说，我挥手告别陈先生。我会再次见到他，让他帮助我做我的第一个剪纸。
Lesson 4 Dream Houses 梦想的房子
The House on Mango Street 芒果街上的房子 We didn‘t always live on Mango Street. Before that are we lived on Loomis on third floor, and before that we lived on Keeler Street. Before Keeler Street it was Paulina Street, and before that I can‘t remember. But what I remembered most is moving a lot. Each time it seemed there‘d be one more of us. By the time we got to Mango Street we were six – Mama, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, my sister Nenny and me.
我们先前不是居住在芒果街上。在那之前我们居住在鲁米斯的第三楼，再以
前，我们住在基勒街。在基勒街之前是鲍莉娜街，再以前，我就不记得了。但我记得我们搬了很多次家，似乎每搬一次，我们就多出一个人。搬到芒果街时，我们有了六个——妈妈、爸爸、卡洛斯、奇奇，妹妹蕾妮和我。
The house on Mango Street is outs, and we don‘t have to pay rent to anybody, or share the yard with the people downstairs, or be careful not to make too much noise, and worried about the landlord being angry. But even so, it‘s not the house we thought we‘d get.
芒果街上的小屋是我们的，我们不用付房租给任何人，或者和楼下的人合住一个院子，或者小心翼翼的不制造噪音，和担心房东生气。可就是这样，它也不是我们想要的那种房子。
We had to leave the flat on Loomis quick. There ere worms in the wooden walls. Then the water popes broke and the
landlord wouldn‘t fix them because the house was too old. He had no mercy so we had to leave fast. We were using the washroom next door and carrying water over. And everything in the flat was damp. That‘s why Mama and Papa looked for a house, and that‘s why we moved into the house on Mango Street, far away, on the other side of town.
我们需要尽快搬出鲁米斯。这里的木头墙中有虫子。水管也破了，因为房子太老了，房东不愿意去修理。我们得快快搬走了。我们使用的是邻居的洗手间和提水过来。和每一个地方都是湿的。这就是为什么爸爸妈妈要找房子，这就是为什么我们搬到了芒果街的房子，远远的，在城市的另一边。
They always told us that one day we would move into a house, a real house that would be ours so we wouldn‘t have to move each year. And our house would have running water and a bathtub and pipes that worked. And inside it would have real stairs, like the houses on TV. And we‘d have a basement and at least three washrooms so when we wanted to bathe we wouldn‘t have to tell everybody. Our house would be white with trees around it, a great big yard and grass growing without a fence. This was the house Papa talked about when he dreamed of being rich and this was the house Mama dreamed up in the stories she told us before we went to bed.
他们一直告诉我们说，有一天，我们会搬进一所房子，一个真正的房子，永远属于我们，那样我们就不用每年搬家了。我们的房子中有自来水和好用的水管。房子里面有像电视里面的真正的楼梯。我们会有一个地下室和至少三个卫生间，那样洗澡的时间就不用告诉每一个人了。我们的房子是白色的，是被树木所包围的，一个没有篱笆包围的很棒的院子。这是爸爸梦想成为有钱人时提到的房子和妈妈在我们入睡之前给我们讲得故事中的房子。
But the house on Mango Street is not the way they described it at all. It‘s small and red with narrow steps in front and windows so small that you‘d think they were holding their breath. There is no front yard, only four little trees the city planted on the side of the street. Out back is a small garage for the car we don‘t own yet and a small yard that looks smaller between the two buildings on wither side. There are that looks house but they‘re ordinary stairs, and the house has only one washroom. Everybody has to share a bedroom – Mama and Papa, Carlos and Kiki, me and Nenny.
可是芒果街的房子不象他们描述的那样。它很小，红色的房子有狭窄的阶梯，窗户小的让你觉得它们屏住了呼吸。这里没有前院，在宽阔的街道上只有四棵小树。后面有一个小车库，是用来装我们没买的汽车的，在两个建筑物中我们的房子显得更小了。这里有很普通的楼梯，只有一个卫生间。每一个人都需要与别人合住一个卧室——妈妈和爸爸，卡洛斯和奇奇、我和蕾妮。

The Picture of Dorian Gray 道林格雷的画像
Basil Hayward was a successful artist. He had nearly finished a portrait of a very handsome young man called Dorian Gray. One day a friend of his, Lord Henry Wotton, saw the picture Basil was painting and wanted to meet this young man. A few days later, Lord Henry and Dorian Gray met at Basil‘s house and went for a walk in the garden.
罗勒海沃德是一个成功的艺术家。他几乎已经完成了一个非常英俊的年轻人叫格雷的画像。有一天，他的一个朋友，亨利勋爵沃顿，看到这张照片，巴兹尔绘画和想见见这个年轻人。几天之后，亨利勋爵和格雷在罗勒的家，去花园里走走。
―Ah, how lucky you are to be so young. There is nothing in the world as important as youth!‖ said Lord Henry to Dorian. ―But time is your enemy.‖
“啊，你这么年轻是多么的幸运。世界上没有什么东西像年轻一样重要！亨
利勋爵对道林说。“但是时间是你的敌人。”
They went inside to see the portrait and Dorian looked at his own picture intensely.
他们去里面看到的画像和道林看着他的照片反应一样强烈。
―I wish I could always stay young and the picture could grow old. Oh, why did you paint this picture, Basil? Why should it stay young while I grow old? I wish the picture could change, and I could stay as I am,‖ Dorian was beginning to fall in love with his own picture.
“我希望我能永远年轻，画像会变老。哦，你为什么要画这幅画，巴兹尔？
为什么它保持年轻时我变老了？我希望这幅画能改变，我可以为我停留，”多里安开始爱上自己的照片。
A few weeks later, Dorian told Lord Henry that he was in
love with an actress, called Sybil Vane. She was seventeen and very beautiful. Dorian didn‘t tell Sybil his name but she called him Prince Charming. He told her that he was in love with her and he wanted to marry her. Sybil‘s brother was worried about her and this mysterious young man.
几周后，道林告诉亨利勋爵说他爱上了一个女演员，称为西比尔文。她十七
岁，非常漂亮。多里安没有告诉西比尔他的名字，但她称他为白马王子。他告诉她，他爱她，他想娶她。西比尔的弟弟担心她和这个神秘的年轻人。
―If that man harms my sister, I‘ll kill him,‖ he said to a friend.
“如果那个男人伤害我妹妹，我会杀了他，”他对一个朋友说。
But Sybil‘s brother was a sailor and had to go off to Australia.
但西比尔的弟弟是个去澳大利亚的水手。
One night, Dorian took his friends to see Sybil acting as Juliet
in Romeo and Juliet. She acted badly and after the performance Dorian spoke to Sybil. He was very angry with her. ―But how can I pretend to Juliet now that I know what real love is?‖ she said to him. Dorian said that he had loved her because she was a good actress. Now he didn‘t love her any more and so he left her.
一天晚上，道林带着他的朋友们看到西比尔作为朱丽叶的罗密欧与朱丽叶。
她干了坏事的表现后，道林说西比尔。他对她很生气。“但是我怎么能假装朱丽叶，现在我知道了什么是真正的爱？”她对他说。多里安说他爱她，因为她是个好演员。现在他不再爱她，所以他离开她。
When he got back home Dorian looked at his portrait again. Somehow it was different. The face in the picture no had a cruel
smile. Then Dorian remembered his wish. He realised that he had been cruel to Sybil. Tomorrow he would see her and be good to her and make up for what he had done. But the next day Lord Henry brought Dorian some terrible news. Sybil had killed herself! Lord Henry told him not to worry, that it would have been impossible to marry her anyway – she was just an actress. When Lord Henry left, Dorian looked at the picture of himself again. He realised that he would stay young and handsome forever and that the face in the picture would become ugly, old and cruel.
当他回到家，道林再次看到他的画像。在某种程度上是不同的。照片中的脸上没有一丝残酷的微笑。然后，道林想起他的愿望。他意识到他的西比尔是残忍的。明天他要去见她，好好对待她和弥补他所做的一切。但是第二天，亨利勋爵给道林一些可怕的消息。西比尔杀了自己！亨利勋爵告诉他不要担心，这是不可能娶她–她只是一个演员。亨利勋爵走后，道林看着自己的照片。他意识到，他会永远年轻漂亮，照片中的脸会变丑了，旧的和残酷的。
The years went by, but Dorian Gray stayed young and handsome. He enjoyed all the pleasures there were in life. However, his portrait changed and showed all the terrible secrets of his life. Dorian became more and more obsessed with the picture as the face in it became old and ugly. On Dorian‘s thirty-eighth birthday, Basil Hayward, the painter, came to see Dorian and told him that he was going away to Paris. Basil told him that people were saying terrible things about Dorian‘s life. Dorian decided to show Basil the portrait and to tell him his
secret. Basil was horrified when he saw the face and told Dorian to change his life. Suddenly, Dorian became very angry with Basil. He took a knife… and stabbed Basil several times. The next day, Dorian got rid of the body. Nobody would ever miss Basil Hayward. They would think that he had gone to France. 几年过去了，但是道林仍然年轻英俊。他喜欢所有生活的乐趣。然而，在他
的生命中，他肖像的改变显示了他可怕的秘密。道林越来越痴迷的画像变得又老又丑。在道林第三十八个生日时，罗勒海沃德，画家，来见道林，告诉他要去巴黎。罗勒告诉他，人们在说道林的生活是很可怕的事情。道林决定将肖像的秘密展示给罗勒。罗勒感到震惊时，他看到的面孔告诉道林来改变他的生活。突然， 道林变成了生气的罗勒。他拿了一把刀刺伤了罗勒。。。第二天，道林摆脱了身体。没有人会去想罗勒。他们会想他去了法国。
Later that night, Dorian was in a bar talking to two women. One of the women said to him, ―Ah, I remember you. You‘re Prince Charming, aren‘t you?‖
那天晚上，道林在酒吧跟两个女人。一个女人对他说，“啊，我记得你。你
的白马王子，不是吗？‖
A sailor heard this. It was Sybil‘s brother. He realised that this was the man who had been cruel to his sister eighteen years ago. Dorian was very afraid, but said that it couldn‘t have been him. He showed the sailor his face, the face of a young man of twenty. Then Dorian went away.
一个水手听见这些。他是西比尔的兄弟。他意识到是谁十八年前对他的妹妹残酷的人。道林害怕极了，但是说它不可能是他。他展现给水手他的脸，二十个年轻人的脸。然后，道林走了。
“I nearly killed that boy,‖ said the sailor. “我几乎杀死了那个男孩，”水手说。
―Boy?‖ said the woman. ―I first met him eighteen years ago, but his face hasn‘t changed in all that time.‖
“男孩？“女人说。“我十八年前第一次见到他，但他的脸上没有没有因为时间而改变。”
A week later Dorian was in the country staying with some friends, when he realized that the sailor was following him. He became very afraid. The next day he went out walking with some of his friends who were shooting. His friend shot at an animal and there was the following Dorian. Dorian decided to change his life.
一周后，道林和一些朋友停留在国家内，当他意识到水手在跟踪他的时候。他非常害怕。第二天他和一些朋友拍摄行走。他的朋友拍到动物和跟随道林的。道林意识到改变他的生活。
“Maybe if I have a better life, the face in the picture will not be so ugly and horrible.‖
“如果我有一个更好的生活，画像中的脸不会那么丑陋可怕。”
But when he looked at the portrait it was even more terrible than before. He decided to destroy the picture. He picked up a knife and stabbed the painting. There was a loud cry and a crash.
但当他注视着这幅画像是比以前更可怕。他决定破坏图片。他拿起刀子刺伤画。有声和碰撞。
The servants were very afraid. They went into the room. On the wall they saw the portrait of Dorian Gray as a young, handsome man. On the floor was a dead man, with a knife in his heart. It was the other Dorian Gray, his face old, ugly and horrible.
仆人们都很害怕。他们走进房间。他们看到道林格雷的画像作为一个年轻的墙，英俊的男人。在地板上的是一个死
人，胸口插着一把刀。这是其他道林格雷，他的脸上是老的，丑陋的和可怕的。
