1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep hole. The hole was very deep. 1. The other frogs believed the two were hopeless to be alive. At first, the two frogs tried to jump up out of the hole with their efforts. But the other frogs kept telling them to stop and wait for their death. Finally, one of the two frogs gave up and soon he died.

2. 另一只青蛙仍旧尽可能地奋力跳。 Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him and told him to give up. 3. Because all his efforts would end up doing nothing. But he jumped even harder and finally he made it.

When he got out, the other frogs said: “Didn’t you hear us?” The frog explained to them that he had a poor hearing. So 4. 他以为他们那时候正在鼓励他。

The story teaches us two lessons. Firstly, there is power of life and death in the tongue. 5. An encouraging word to someone who is down can help him make it through difficulties. Secondly, a destructive(消极的) word to someone who is down can make him give up and die. So be careful of what you say.

27、Chinese fancy knots(中国结), also called Chinese knots, are very important in Chinese culture. They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties(朝代) in China, and became popular in the Ming Dynasty. Long ago, they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries, and were well received there. Now they are regarded as one of the symbols of Chinese culture.

As for the name itself, it is surely meaningful. The Chinese word for “knot”, jie, means “connection”. And the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji, which means “good luck”. As a result, Chinese knots are used as a way to express people’s strong wishes for marvellous things like happiness, love and good luck.

The knots are used widely in everyday life. They come in different sizes. Small ones are connected to jewellery(珠宝), clothes and gifts in order to draw people’s attention while large ones are used to make a living room or study more beautiful. Whether large or small, they are named after their shapes and uses. For example, Double Coin Knots are called shuangqianjie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins, meaning “good things come in pairs”. Besides, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colors. Different colors have different traditional cultural meanings. Red means good luck and happiness; green means health; yellow means wealth.

All in all, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully show the Chinese culture. These brightly colored knots with their endless chains(链条) of knots, mean that life on earth will continue forever.

A．To ask people to buy Chinese fancy knots.

28、   You're standing with your classmates. Everyone is talking except you.

Perhaps you're afraid they will laugh at when you say. Maybe you just aren't brave enough to speak.

Shyness means you feel frightened when you’re the center of attention. It is like a snake that crawls (爬进) into our mouth and stops us from s 【1】. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes, even the great people in history. When Thomas Edison was young, he loved Shakespeare very much. He wanted to act in his play. But he was too shy. He didn’t know w【2】 to do when there were people around. Later, he had to give up. But shyness didn’t stop him from being a great inventor.

Some experts say shy people are c 【3】 because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy, It isn’t a very big problem. But some become so shy that they can’t do the things they wanted to do. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person. Here are some good ways to make you b【4】.

Tell people you are shy. This can make others u 【5】you better and help you easier in talks.

Try to smile more. People think you are friendly and easy to talk to when you smile.

Learn to be a good talker. Begin your talk with saying s【6】nice about people around you. It’s very helpful for keeping your talk.

Put your attention somewhere else. Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don’t waste time w 【7】about your looks or whether people like you or not.

If you do above for a while, the 'shyness' snake will soon begin to leave you alone. It'll look for another mouth to crawl into.
