At the age of 15, driven by the British from his hometown, he got onto a ship secretly. It was leaving for the American colonies (殖民地). The ship took him to

12、 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As Barry stepped off the ship, he had no idea that he would become one of Americas important historical figures.Barry grew to be over six feet tall. During his time as a sea captain, he set a model for the new navy (海军). He was well-known for his bravery and fairness. He

13、 had strict rules for his men, including no alcohol on the ship.

The British wan

14、ted to block the Delaware River and catch every ship sailing to or from Philadelphia. The idea was to starve the American colonists. Barry worked quickly to change merchant ships (商船) into warships. Then he fought the British from a tiny ship. He managed to keep them from getting control of the Dela

15、ware River. After his ship sank, he set up his guns on shore. From there he joined in the battles of Trenton and Princeton. Then Barry commanded the American warship Lexington and caught the Prince Edward, the first British ship taken in the war. After the war ended, Barry suggested to the U.S. gove

Lets make believe it is about fifty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different. Voyages to the moon are b

20、eing made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.

21、on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment (娱乐) of young and old. What are people eating now? People are still eating food.

22、er. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill forms, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.

26、hs of himself at school. They were brown and faded, and it was hard to believe that the blurred figure of the little boy in the short trousers and socks could ever have been Grandfather. Besides, he wore a cap and the boys in the photographs wore caps pulled so far forward that half of their faces w

27、ere obscured. When Grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group, we would surely point to the wrong boy. On one such occasion my younger sister, aged six, burst into tears when Grandfather proudly guided her finger to the right boy. “How could that boy be you？” she cried. “He should have a be

28、ard.” We were, of course, all convinced that grandfathers should have beards, preferably white and bushy, like our own grandfathers. “I was a good scholar，” Grandfather would say, wagging his beard over the photographs. “I should have been top of the class if I hadnt had to get up at six every morni
