14、ir. He kept his mouth shut. In his right hand he still held the knife. He quickly cut open the bag, got his arm out, and then his body.

15、rength. He rose quickly to the top of the water, while the stone pulled down to the bottom of the sea the bag which had almost become his gravecloth(寿衣) indeed. Robert drew in the night air.

16、ly a hundred yards from the place where he had first touched the sea. He saw above him a black and stormy sky over which the wind was driving the hurrying clouds.

21、e Maori language. English sailors began to visit New Zealand after 1770. They found a dark-skinned people living there. These were the Maori. They had come from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before in the 14th century.For a long time the British government was not very interested in these f

22、ar-away islands. It was made a British colony(殖民地) in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britain later.The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris land. So in 1844 there was f

28、wed to keep their own language.D When you have finished working with this book, you will no longer be the same person.You cant be.If you honestly read every page, if you do every exercise, if you take every test, if you follow every principle, you will go through an intellectual(心智的) experience that

29、 will effect a far-reaching change in you.For if you systematically increase your vocabulary ,you will also sharpen and enrich your thinking; push back your intellectual horizons; build up your self-confidence; improve your competence in handing the English language and thus your ability to express

30、your thoughts effectively; and acquire a deeper understanding of the world in general and of yourself in particular.Increasing your vocabulary does not mean merely learning the definitions(释义)of large numbers of words; it does not mean memorizing lots of unrelated terms.
