The most important reason for such a visit is to realize how our ancestors (祖先) battled nature with the basic tools they had . They had only basic ways of creating light , and yet they found a way of using this simple technology in isolated (孤零零的) places to save ships from hitting rocks .
Secondly , visiting lighthouses will help us to understand the lives of lighthouse keepers .By their very nature , lighthouses were built on some rocks or cliffs . Thus , the lighthouse keepers often lived lonely lives . To walk around their small home , and imagine the angry storm outside beating against the walls , is to take a step towards understanding the lives they had.
The reasons for a visit to a lighthouse are not all so backward-looking in time . It is true that lighthouses were built in out-of-the –way places . But on a pleasant sunny summer day. This very isolation has a natural beauty that many people will love to experience . Therefore, with the gentle waves touching all round the lighthouse . the visitor is likely to think it is a world preferable to the busy and noisy modern life.
Another reason for considering a visit is that the lighthouses themselves can be very attractive buildings . Mankind could often not be content just to put up a basic structure . but felt the need . even in such an isolated place , to build with an artistic touch . The result is a view for tired eyes to enjoy .
Finally , lighthouses have a romantic attraction , summed up by the image of the oil-skin coated keeper climbing his winding stairs to take care of the light to warn ships and save lives .

As we have noted many times, it is hard to find out how these expressions begin. Sometimes, we get some hard facts. But more often we have to depend on guesswork. And that is true of this phrase, which came from England.
Before 1832, English law did not permit a doctor to cut open a dead human body for scientific examination, unless it was the corpse(尸体) of an executed(处决) criminal.
But when it became legal, more and more doctors demanded skeletons for a more scientific study of medicine. It was helping in the advance of modern medicine. The demand had become so strong that men began to rob tombs and sell skeletons to doctors at high prices.
We are told that a doctor would usually buy just one skeleton for scientific study. It became very important in his work. But he had to keep it hidden because most people objected to keeping such a thing. As a rule, the doctor keep his skeleton in some dark corner where it could not be seen, or hide it in a closet.
After a time, people began to suspect every doctor of hiding a skeleton in the closet. From this suspicion, the phrase“a skeleton in the closet”took on a broader, more general meaning: to describe anything that a man wanted to keep others from discovering. It could be proof of a criminal act, or something much less serious. Well, that is one theory.
One writer, however, believes that the phrase might have come from something that really happened. It is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have turned up a real skeleton, clear proof of some old family shame or crime. Well, one man"s guess is as good as another. But this sounds like a story by the great French novelist, Balzac.
Balzac tells us of a man who suspected his wife of having a lover. The husband comes home by surprise. But she hears him and quickly hides her lover in the closet of her bedroom. He enters her room and asks her if she is hiding her lover. He says he will not open the door to the closet if she promises him there is no one there; He will believe her. She answers firmly that she is not hiding anyone in the closet.
The husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet. His wife watches, knowing that her lover will never come out alive. But she will not change her story and admit her guilt.
小题1:Which of the following situations is now suitable for using the phrase “skeleton in the closet”?
A.You have stolen something precious and hide them in the closet. |
B.You are a doctor and have to keep a skeleton for research. |
C.If you have cut open a dead human body for scientific examination you should keep the skeleton secret. |
D.You have done a crime or done something foolish, but you want to keep others from |
小题2:Which of the following is right according to the text?
A.In the 19th century, doctors realized the importance of anatomy (解剖) in the development of medicine. |
B.The doctors of the ancient times liked to collect as many skeletons as possible |
C.The thieves stole skeletons from tombs in order to help the doctors. |
D.It is legal that corpses of anybody are cut open for scientific examination in history. |
A.a corpse | B.a phrase | C.a skeleton | D.a story |
A sign like this one means that there is a bike lane. If there is a bike lane, you are required to use it. If there is not a bike lane, you should ride with traffic as far to the right side of the road as possible.
When the signal light turns green, cars go. When you cross the street at a signal light, you should wait for the walk signal. Be sure to look carefully to the left, right and left again, before crossing the street.
When the signal light turns yellow, car drivers should slow down and prepare to stop. You should not cross if the light is yellow. The light is about to turn red, and cars will enter the intersection.
This signal is the WALK sign. It has a picture of a person walking instead of using the word WALK.
This signal is the DON"T WALK sign. It is part of the signal with the picture of a person walking.This is a picture of a red hand, meaning you should stop. You should wait to cross the street until the green picture of the person walking is showing.
Car drivers and bikers must come to a complete stop at STOP signs.
A yield sign means to slow down and be ready to stop.
If there are pedestrians(行人)or vehicles in or nearing the intersection,you must stop.
If there is no traffic in or nearing the intersection and it is safe,you may go through.
This sign means you are coming to a crosswalk. Car drivers, antibikers must stop to allow people in the crosswalk to cross the street.
When people are working on the roads, parts of the road are often dug up or rough. Be careful when cycling. Rough roads could make you fall off your bike. If you must move into the road to go around a work area, you should stop and look carefully to be sure there is no traffic coming before going into the road.
A detour is a way of getting around a roadway that is closed. Roads are usually closed because of road work or dangerous conditions. If you must take a detour, be careful of roads you aren"t used to.
小题1:The passage is intended for ________.
A.car drivers | B.skaters | C.bikers | D.Pedestrians |
A.take the bike lane | B.stop your bike |
C.ride close to the right side of the road | D.ride in the middle of the road |
A.they come near a crosswalk |
B.the bad weather is on the corner |
C.they are about to pass a school |
D.the road ahead is blocked because of the landslide (山崩) |
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more 24 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 25 that he does not want to 26 with others.
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 27 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 28 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 29 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 30 in my dairy. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 31 that my sister might read it.
The biggest 32 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 33 about him in my diary, he would never know. 34 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might 35 her blog and get angry.
There are also 36 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “ Nobody cares about me”, because no one would 37 about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly 38 and tell her how much they 39 her. Blogs help people 40 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
