? Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept standing up, bending over a piece of string，because there was no room for them to lie down．
? People didn’t have fridges until the 1920s．They kept fresh food cold by storing it on windowsills(窗臺(tái)板)，blocks of ice，or even burying it in the garden．

English and English Community
1 There is no doubt that English is a useful language．The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese．
2? A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities．The people who make up the community share a common language．Often they live side by side, as they do in a neighborhood (街坊)，a village，or a city．More often they form a whole country．National boundaries，however，are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community．A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live．
3? We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community．For convenience(方便)，we may divide the speakers into two groups: one in which the speakers use English as their native language, the other in which the speakers 1earn English as a second language for the purpose of education，commerce，and so on．
4 Learning a second language extends one’s vision and expands the mind．The history and literature of a second language record the real and fictional(虛構(gòu)的)lives of people and their culture；a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel．Learning English as a second language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage．

第一篇???????????? U．S．Blacks Hard-hit by Cancer
??? Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans，but black Americans are still more
likely to die of cancer than whites，the American Cancer Society said Monday．
? In a special report on cancer and blacks．the organization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites．a(chǎn)nd they are more likely to die of the disease．
This could be because of unequal(不平等的)access to medical care，because blacks are more likely to have other diseases as well，and perhaps because of differences in the biology(生物學(xué)) of the cancer itself, the report added．
? “In general，black Americans have less hope of surviving five years after diagnosis than? whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis,”the report said．
? “In describing cancer statistics for black Americans，this report recognizes that many of the? differences associated with race may be caused by unfair social and economic differences and unequal access to medical care．”
? The cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check—ups(體格檢查)earlier, when cancer is more treatable，and it said more research is needed to see if biological differences play a role．
? “The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of wiping out these unfair social differences through public policy and education efforts，”the organization said in a statement．
But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates．“Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have dropped greatly among black Americans since 1992，as have incidence rates(發(fā)生率)，”said the report．
31 Black Americans are more likely to die of cancer than
? A people in other countries．
