Passage one:
Clowns(小丑) like to make people laugh. They paint their faces and put on funny noses. Sometimes they put on a sad face but most of the time they put on a happy face. They also wear funny clothes.
Most clowns work in circuses. They do all kinds of silly things to make the audience laugh. They run, jump, fall down, turn somersaults (翻滚，斤头), and roll over. They ride donkeys backwards. They push each other in wagons or wheelbarrows. Sometimes they shout and sing. Clowns are funny men, and
occasionally, women, too! A circus is not a circus without clowns!
Children especially enjoy watching clowns. A clown named Cookie often visits hospitals to entertain sick children as well as older people. Sick people need to laugh. It helps them to get better faster.
There is an old saying:”Laughter is good medicine.”
小丑喜欢让人发笑。他们把自己的脸刷上颜料，带上可笑的鼻子。有时他们也会刷上一张悲伤的脸，但大多数情况下他们总是刷上一张快乐的脸。他们也穿着滑稽可笑的衣服。
大多数的小丑是在马戏团里工作。他们做着各种各样的愚蠢的事情为了博得观众的欢笑。他们跑着，跳着，摔倒，翻滚，和打滚。他们倒骑毛驴。他们彼此在马车或独轮手推车里相互推搡。有时他们大喊和唱歌。小丑通常都是些可笑的男人，偶尔也有女性小丑！马戏团没有了小丑就不算是马戏团了。
儿童特别喜欢看小丑表演。一个名叫酷奇的小丑经常到医院看望生病的孩子、年老的老人。病人需要欢笑。欢笑有助于他们更快的恢复健康。
有句谚语说：“欢笑是最好的良药。”

Passage two:
How men first learnt to invent words is unknown: in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations – the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We
should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.
人类如何首先发明语言文字的还不知道：换句话说，语言的起源是一个谜。我们所真正知道的是，跟动物不同，人类在某种程度上发明了某种声音来表达思想和感情，行动和实物。因此，人类可以彼此交流；之后，他们同意某些符号，被称作是字母，用来结合现在的这些声音，然后声音可以被写出来。这些声音，口语或是用字母写出的书面语，我们称之为语言文字。
语言的力量，在于它们和事物之间的联系-语言将事物带入到我们的思维里。语言通过感受经历充满了意义。我们活得越久，某些文字能让我们回想起过去那些快乐和悲伤的事情；我们阅读和学习的越多，文字的数量就越多，文字的意义也越加丰富。
伟大的作家不仅仅拥有伟大的思想，而且还拥有运用语言文字表达思想的能力。这些语言对我们的思想和情感产生强大的吸引力。这种充满魅力的语言文字表达，我们称之为文学风格。首先，真正的诗人都是一个语言大师。他可以用语言文字来传达他的意思，唱出来像音乐一样。通过语言描述出他们的处境，通过关联，让他人感动的流泪。 因此，我们应该学会慎重选择我们的语言并准确的使用文字。否则，语言将使得我们的演讲变得愚蠢和俗不可耐。

Where to Live
Many people appreciate the conveniences of the city. People in the city can see films, visit exhibitions and watch games every day if they like to. Furthermore, if they want to become scholars, scientists or artists, they can find what they need in the city: libraries, colleges, museums, and so on. The last But not the least important thing I'd like to say is that they can get to know as many people as they want in the city.
But some other people are attracted by the beauty of the country. First, if one is in the country he feels he is closer to nature: small streams, high mountains, fresh air, and green grass and so on, all this makes people happy and stirs up the love of life. Second, in the country, people seem to have more freedom. They can sing high in the field, ride horses along a brook and does some interesting farm work. Of course, both the city and the country have their disadvantages. As for the city, there is pollution, noise and heavy traffic. And as far as the country is concerned, its inefficient transportation, delayed news always makes people feel isolated.
Compared with cities, the country is relatively backward, but nothing can be compared with the clean atmosphere and the gentle pace of living. Living in the
country is very good for your health. With the development of economy, it is a trend that people will migrate from the city to the country.
住在哪里
很多人看重城市生活得便捷。人们在城市里可以看电影，参观展览会，看娱乐节目只要他们愿意。而且，如果他们想要成为学者、科学家或是艺术家，他们可以在城市里找到他们所需要的：图书馆、大学、博物馆等等。最后且同样重要的事，我想说的是他们可以在城市里得到其他人知道的一切。
但是有些人却被乡村的美景所吸引。首先，如果一个人在乡村，他会觉得跟自然接近：小溪，高山，新鲜空气和绿色草地等，所有这些会使他感到开心并激起对生活得热情。其次，在乡村人们似乎觉得更加自由。他们可以在田野里歌唱，沿着小溪骑马，做些有趣的农场工作。当然，城市和乡村生活各有利弊。城市里有污染，噪音和交通堵塞。而乡村虽然交通不便，发展落后使得人们有时觉得被孤立。
相比城市而言，乡村相对的落后一些。但是，没有什么可以和清新的空气、舒缓的生活节奏相比。住在乡村对你的健康非常有益。随着经济的发展，人们从城市移居到乡村将是一种趋势。
