课本背诵篇目 Unit1 12 Although I could have pursued a career in law or business, as several of my friends did, I chose teaching instead. My job has benefits all its own. I’m able to bake cookies without getting them stuck together as they cool, buy cheap sewing materials, take out splinters, and search just the right trash cans for useful odds and ends. I’m sometimes called “Daddy” and even “Mommy”by my students, and if there’s ever a lull in the conversation at a dinner party, I can always ask those assembled if they’ve heard the latest riddle about why the turkey crossed the road. (He thought he was a chicken.) 虽然我曾经可以像我的几个朋友那样在法律界或商界谋求发展，但是我选择了教学。我的工作本身就有很多“福利”。我能烤出放凉之后不会粘在一起的小甜饼，能买到便宜的缝纫材料，能挑出扎进皮肤的小刺，知道从哪个垃圾桶里能找到有用的小零碎儿。有时，学生们叫我“爸爸”甚至“妈妈”。参加宴会时，如果交谈中有片刻沉默的话，我总能用最新的脑筋急转弯题目问在场的客人——火鸡为什么过马路？（因为它以为自己是小鸡呢。） Unit2 4 Books are one of the few things men cherish deeply.

In September 2007, at the New York fashion shows, which were displaying their styles for spring 2008, the trend was for much longer dresses and skirts, many to midcalf or even down to the ankles. Some people felt this showed that the hemline indicator was no longer reliable, and that designers no longer dictated what people
