Oranges were known in China about four thousand years ago. There are two kinds of orange trees, the sweet and the sour (酸的) . At first, people in Europe only had sour oranges. They started to grow them around the ninth century. From the eleventh century, sour oranges were widely grown in southern Europe.

Until the fifteenth century, sweet oranges were brought to Europe by business from the East. They were a kind of rare(稀有的) fruit at that time. Only very rich people could pay for them. They paid a lot of money to get the orange trees. They planted these trees in their gardens.

In the colder countries, these expensive orange trees would be killed during a cold winter, so the rich people built greenhouses for them. The orange trees were planted in tubs (盆). During the summer they were moved outside, but in winter, they were kept safe behind the glass in the greenhouses.

When Christopher Columbus went to America by sea, he carried many oranges with him. Since then sweet oranges have grown very well in the New World in the warm weather. Today the United States produces the most oranges in the world.

During the day we work and play and at night we sleep. Our bodies rest while we sleep. In the morning we are ready to work and play again. It is while we are asleep that our bodies grow most.

Boys and girls, eight or nine years old, need ten hours of sleep every night. Our bodies need plenty of air when we sleep. If we do not get enough fresh air we wake up feeling tired. While in bed we must not cover our heads. If we do, our lungs(肺)will not get enough fresh air. If we open our windows at night we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air.

Many teenagers(青少年)feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, and in particular(尤其是)their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.

It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends, Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication(交流)is very important in children’s growing up because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.

If money was everything, all millionaires(百万富翁)would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.

Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.

Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word, Where money is worshiped(崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.

Mr. Smith had a hotel near the biggest train station in London. A lot of foreigners stayed there for the night.

He thought Russian was boring but Japanese was interesting. So he asked a friend of his who knew Japanese to teach him. He studied hard and happily. At first he learned some, but soon he found that it wasn’t easy to remember Japanese words. His friend asked him to write down the useful words on his notebook so that he could use them. He did as he was told. He found it helpful for him to do so.

One evening, there were a lot of people in the dinning room of his hotel. They were all busy eating something, but a Japanese was walking up and down there. He seemed to be waiting for someone.

If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers. Today, many teenagers are overweight, and some of this is because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food”

But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eat unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a proper meal for lunch. In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two-thirds of the students didn't follow a healthy diet. They didn’t like vegetables, and many of them didn’t like to eat fruits. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar or fat.

Parents today also worry about their children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice:

Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.

Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future.

Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil and sugar.

Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and have little fat.

Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.

Some people said she loved a married man. Others said she was unhappy because nobody wanted to publish her poems. She kept on writing anyway.

"This sounds a good idea," he thought. "I'll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They'll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.

CATV is a short way saying "community antenna (公用天线 ) television'. But "cable television" is the name most people use. Cable television allows viewers (观众) to receive TV programs that they can not pick up with their ordinary antenna.

Television signals (信号') do not follow the curve (曲线) of the earth. They travel in straight lines in all directions. Signals from a TV station move towards the horizon (水平线) and then go into space. If you live only a few miles from a TV station, you may get a good picture on your set. But if you live more than 50 miles from a station, you may not get any pictures at all.

CATV began in 1948. People in places far from TV stations had to pay for putting up high antennas. A community antenna was usually placed on a hill, a mountain or on a high tower. The antenna picked up TV signals and fed them into a small local station. From the station, thick wires (电线)called cable ran out to nearby homes. Each person using the cable paid a monthly charge (费用).

CATV worked well, and soon new uses were found for it. Local stations could feed programs into empty channels that were not in use. People along the cable could have local news, weather report, and farm and school news at no extra charge.

Today, cable television has moved into cities. It brings in extra programs that city viewers with ordinary antenna can not see. It is also used in many classrooms throughout the country.
