The Million Pound Bank Note
This is a famous novel based on a genuine story,whose author is Mark Twain, who was brought up in his birth
place -America and loved adventures.
Henry, an American businessman landed in London by accident.About a month ago, he took a chance to go
home on his boat. While sailing out of the bay, he met a strong wind and was carried out to sea, later,he was
spotted by a ship. By working as a barber on the ship, he earned his passage and came to London. He went to the
American embassy to seek help, but they didn’t permit him in. The impatient ambassador started at him and
refused to help him. Perhaps, it was his appearance in rags that accounted for their rude manners.
Henry was wandering on the pavement feeling helpless when two old and wealthy brothers invited him to
enter their house. They gave him an envelope with a big note in it ,Henry didn’t open it, but indeed, that was an
amount of money. After thanking the two men, he left with the envelope. He came to a restaurant, where he
ordered a nice big steak and a pineapple dessert, However, he was treated coldly. When Henry took out the
million pound bank note from the envelope,both the waiter and the owner were shocked and screamed, feeling
unbelievable. Immediately, they bowed and apologized to Henry and even told Henry that“having you here is a
great honour!As for the bill,Sir,please forget it.”

The Origin of Life
It is a fact that each religion and culture has its own ideas how life began on earth. However, there is a widely
accepted theory telling us that universe began with “Big Bang”. After that, the earth was just a cloud of dust
floating everywhere. About 3.8-4.5 billion years ago, the dust settled into a solid globe, which is a planet
belonging to the solar system. The earth became violent and exploded with fire and rocks, producing carbon
dioxide,nitrogen,water vapour and other gases, which were to make the earth’s atmosphere. With the earth
cooling down, water began to appear on its surface,which is fundamental to life, because it allowed the earth to
dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas, which produced a chain reaction.
Millions of years later,small plants appeared and multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen,
which created conditions of other creatures coming into being. Reptiles produced young by laying eggs while
mammals gave birth to young baby animals. Later, human race came into existence, who in their return, became
the most important animal on the planet, but because human beings are putting too much dioxide into the
atmosphere,which prevents heat from escaping from the earth into space, causing warming-globe. Mankind has
never stopped exploring outer space to settle scientific puzzles, including biologists, astronomers, physicists and
geologists. They cheered up to experience no gravity and pull. Our country has launched 55 satellites into space
so far, which causes other countries to watch out for our achievements of astronomy.

生命的起源
事实是每个宗教和文化对于地球上生命如何开始的都有自己的观点。可是有一个广泛接受的理论，宇
宙始于大爆炸。那之后，地球只是到处漂浮的尘埃。大约38-45 亿前，这团尘埃最终形成一个固态球体，它
属于太阳系的一颗行星。地球变得狂暴，爆炸喷发出火和岩石，产生了二氧化碳，氮， 水蒸气及其他气体，
这一切即将形成大气层。随着地球冷却，地球表面开始出现了水， 水是生命的根本。因为，它使地球把有
害的气体和酸溶解到海洋中产生连锁反应。
数百万年之后，小植物出现并繁殖，使海洋充满了氧气，为其他生物的诞生创造了条件。爬行动物靠
产卵繁育后代而哺乳动物生育幼崽。后来，人类诞生了，轮到人类成为这个星球上最重要的动物，但是人
类往大气层中排放大量的二氧化碳，阻止热量从地球逃离进入太空，造成了全球变暖。为了解决科学之谜，
人类从来没有停止探索太空，包括生物学家，天文学家，物理学家和地质学家。他们体验无重力和引力而
振奋。我们国家到目前为止已经向太空发射了55 颗卫星，这引起了其他国家对我们的天文学成就虎视眈眈。

三、短文改错
Is the moon a planet? This question is fundamentally if students are to show that they understand the
nature of astronomy. Some scientists think that the earth gave birth for the moon because the moon circles our
planet. Others believe that the moon was existed before the earth was formed. They think that it was a small
planet which was catching by the earth’s gravity. As result, it goes around our planet. The evidence for this theory
is that the atoms that makes up the rocks on the moon seem to be different from that on earth. The moon is
small than the earth, which prevents it from escape from escape from the earth. Although its origin may still be
puzzled, the moon can never be anything more than a satellite of the earth.
