练习1
1象棋是一门群众性很强又很普及的文体活动。当人们工作、学习之余，凑在一起下上几盘，可以恢诬疲劳，锻炼智力，有助于思维，有利于身心健康。但是，下棋的人们则有的水平较高，有的水平较低。有的人下几年棋，就提高了水平，有的下十几年成几十年棋，却总是投有提高多少。于是就提出了这样一个问题:怎样才能提高棋艺水平呢?
要回答这个问题，须要从几个方面解释。有一首诗说:“象棋易学最难精，妙着神势巧自生。十里封获驰铁马，隔河飞炮攻重城。摆阵出车冲要塞，出奇制胜破雄兵。运筹帷握千里外，指点江山掌握中。”这首七律的头两句点出了提高棋艺水平的要害，它说得是学会下棋容易，练精了难。怎么办?妙着神势得自己动脑筋想办法。古谱中管这叫做“宜用心机”。诗的最后两句又告诉我们买“运筹帷握”，“指点扛山沙。就是说下棋得象行兵打仗一样，好好谋划，指挥炮马车兵进行战斗，还要牵一子而观全貌，以统筹全局。这些都是非常重要的。
下棋除了要具有诗中所讲的正确的思想基础之外，还应采取什么方法呢?一般地说提高棋艺水平有两大渠道。

练习6
Eternal youth? No, thanks.
I wouldn"t want to be a teenager again. First of all, because I wouldn’t want to worry about talking to girls. I still remember how scary it was to call up a girl and ask her out. My heart would race, my pulse would pound, and perspiration would trickle down my dace, adding to my acne by the second. I never knew whether my voice would come out deep and masculine, like a television anchorman’s, or squeaky, like a little boy’s. Then there were the questions: would she be at home? If she was, would she want to talk to me? And if she did, what would I say? The one time I did get up the nerve to take a girl in my homeroom to a movie, I was so tongue-tied that I stared silently at the box of popcorn in my lap until the feature finally started. Needless to say, I wasn’t very interesting company.
Terrors of my teenage years.
I wouldn’t want to be a teenager again. First of all, because I wouldn’t want to worry about talking to girls. Calling up a girl to ask her out was something that I completely dreaded. I didn’t know what words to express or how to express them. I would have all the symptoms of nervousness when I got on the phone. I worried a great deal about how I would sound, and had a lot of doubts about the girl’s reaction. Once I managed to call up a girl to go out, but the evening turned out to be a disaster. I was too unsure of myself to act in a confident way. I couldn’t think of anything to say and just kept quiet. Now that I look back on it, I really made a fool of myself. Agonizing over my attempts at relationships with the opposite sex made adolescence a very uncomfortable time.
练习7
I’ve had a real problem with my car leaking oil on the driveway lately. There’s a pool of oil two thirds of the way up on both sides of the driveway. There’s a pool of oil inside the garage where I park the car. I clean the oil up. The next day it’s back again. I took the car to a garage to have the oil changed and the leak stopped. The problem was more difficult than I’d expected. The rear main bearing seal was leaking, but to replace it, the engine would have to be pulled. I couldn’t afford that, so I had to wait and save up some money. I put three oil pans on the spotss where the car leaks oil when it’s parked. I cant’t think of any other solution for now.
