SECTION Ⅴ LESSON 3 ANNE OF GREEN GABLES
[教材原文]
Anne of Green Gables
The story is set on Canada's Prince Edward Island early in the 20th century.A brother and sister, Matthew and Marilla live on a farm called “Green Gables”.They apply to adopt a boy from an orphanage as they need help on their farm.Due to a mixup,they are sent a redaired 11yearold girl named Anne.On the day she is due to arrive,Matthew picks her up at the train station...
Marilla saw Matthew in the front yard and immediately rushed to the door.But when her eyes fell on the odd little figure in the stiff,ugly dress,with the long red hair and the eager,bright eyes,she froze in amazement. “Matthew Cuthbert, who's that?” she asked.“Where is the boy?”
“There wasn't any boy,” said Matthew.“There was only her.”He nodded at the child,remembering that he had never even asked her name.
“No boy!But there must have been a boy,” insisted Marilla.“We sent word to Mrs Spencer to bring a boy.”
“Well,she didn't.She brought her.She arrived at the train station and couldn't be left there alone.”
During this dialogue the child had remained silent.Suddenly she seemed to grasp the full meaning of what had been said.She sprang forward a step and clasped her hands.“You don't want me!”the girl cried.“You don't want me because I'm not a boy!I might have expected it.I might have known it was all too beautiful to last.I might have known nobody really did want me.Oh,what am I going to do?I'm going to burst into tears!”
Burst into tears she did.Sitting down on a chair by the table,throwing her arms on it,and burying her face in them,she proceeded to cry stormily.Marilla and Matthew looked at each other.Neither of them knew what to say or do.Finally Marilla stepped in to try to comfort the child.“Well,well,there's no need to cry so about it.”
“Yes,there is need!” The child raised her head,revealing a tearstained face.“You would cry,too, if you were an orphan and had come to a place you thought was going to be home and found that they didn't want you because you weren't a boy.”
“Well,don't cry anymore.We're not going to send you off tonight.You'll have to stay here until we investigate this affair.What's your name?”
“Anne”,said the child sadly.
“Well,come along,Anne.It's dinner time.” They all sat down for dinner but Anne could not eat.She tried to enjoy the bread and butter and the apple jam out of the little glass dish by her plate but she had no appetite.
“You're not eating anything,”said Marilla sharply,eying her as if it were a serious problem.Anne sighed.“I can't.I'm in the depths of despair.Can you eat when you are in the depths of despair?”
“I've never been in the depths of despair,so I can't say,”responded Marilla.
“Weren't you?Well,did you ever try to imagine you were in the depths of despair?”
“No,I didn't.”
“I guess she's tired,”said Matthew.“Best put her to bed,Marilla.”
Marilla had been wondering where Anne should be put to bed.She decided on the small bedroom on the first floor.She lit a candle and told Anne to follow her,which Anne did,taking her hat and bag from the hall table as she passed.The hall was perfectly clean;the little room in which she found herself seemed still cleaner.
Marilla set the candle on a threelegged table and turned down the bedclothes.“Well,undress as quick as you can and go to bed.I'll come back in a few minutes for the candle.I daren't trust you to put it out yourself.You'd likely set the place on fire.”
When Marilla had gone,Anne looked around her sadly.The whitewashed walls were so painfully bare.The floor was bare,too.In one corner was the bed,a high,oldfashioned one of dark wood.Midway between table and bed was the window,with an icy white curtain over it.There was no restroom,but there was a wash stand with a faucet in the other corner.The whole room felt cold and unwelcoming,which sent a shiver through Anne's bones.With a sob she quickly undressed,put on her nightclothes and jumped into bed where she pressed her face down into the pillow and pulled the clothes over her head.
When Marilla came up for the light,she saw the untidy way the clothing had been thrown on the floor.She carefully picked up Anne's clothes,placed them neatly on a yellow chair,and then,taking up the candle,went over to the bed.“Good night,” she said,a little awkwardly,but not unkindly.
Anne's white face and big eyes appeared over the bedclothes.“How can you call it a good night when you know it must be the very worst night I've ever had?” she said disapprovingly.Then she dived down into the bedclothes again.
To bed went Matthew.And to bed,when she had put her dishes away,went Marilla,frowning most resolutely.And upstairs,in the east gable,a lonely,hearthungry,friendless child cried herself to sleep.
[汉语译文]
绿山墙(gable)的安妮
(故事以20世纪初加拿大的爱德华王子岛为背景。马修和玛丽拉是一对兄妹,他们住在一个叫做“绿山墙”的农场里。他们申请从一家孤儿院领养(adopt)一个男孩,因为他们的农场需要帮助。因为出了差错,一个名叫安妮的红头发的11岁女孩被送来了。她应该到达的日子到了,马修去火车站接她……)
玛丽拉看见马修到前院了,立刻冲到门口。但当她的目光落在那个衣服不合身(stiff硬的)又难看、长着红色长头发、眼睛热切而明亮的古怪小人身上时,她惊(amazement)呆(freeze)了。“马修·卡斯伯特,她是谁?那个男孩子呢?”她问道。
“没有男孩子,只有她在那里。”马修答道。他向那孩子点了点头,突然想起自己甚至从没有问过女孩儿的名字。
“没有男孩子!可是一定得有个男孩儿,”玛丽拉坚持说。“我们给斯宾塞太太捎口信要带个男孩子来的呀。”
“好吧,她没有。斯宾塞太太只带来了这个孩子。她到了火车站,总不能把她一个人扔在那儿吧。”
俩人说话时,这孩子一声不吭。突然,她似乎完全明白了他们说话的意思。她冲上前一步,双手紧握(clasp)。“你们不想要我!”她大喊道。“你们不想要我,就因为我不是男孩儿!我早就应该料到。我早就应该知道这件事太美好,无法持久。我早就应该想到没人真的想要我。哦,我该怎么办呀?我马上就要(burst into突然……起来)哭出来了!”
她立刻哭了起来。她一下坐到桌边的椅子上,扑到桌上,脸埋在臂弯里,放声大哭(proceed继续进行)。玛丽拉和马修面面相觑,都不知道该说什么,也不知道该做点儿什么。最后玛丽拉走上前试图安慰这个孩子。“好啦,好啦,没必要为这事儿哭成这样。”
“有,有必要!”那孩子抬起头,露出(reveal)一张泪痕斑斑的(tearstained)脸。“如果你是个孤儿(orphan),来到一个满以为会成为自己家的地方,却发现他们并不想要你,因为你不是个男孩,你也会哭的。”
“好吧,别再哭了。今晚我们不会送你走的。在我们搞清楚(investigate)这件事之前,你先待在这儿。你叫什么名字?”
“我叫安妮,”孩子悲伤地说。
“好的,来吧,安妮,该吃晚饭了。”他们都坐下来吃饭,但安妮吃不下。她试图吃点儿面包、黄油和摆在她盘子旁边小玻璃碟里的苹果酱,但一点胃口都没有。
“你什么都没吃,”玛丽拉严厉地说,眼睛盯着她,好像这是个严重的问题。安妮叹了口气(sigh)。“我吃不下。我彻底绝望(despair)了。你彻底绝望的时候还能吃得下东西吗?”
“我从来没有完全绝望的时候,所以没法回答,”玛丽拉回答道。
“你没有过吗?好吧,那你有没有试图想象自己陷入了绝望的深渊?”
“不,没想过。”
“我想她一定是累了,”马修说,“最好让她去睡觉吧,玛丽拉。”
玛丽拉一直在想应该让安妮睡在哪里,最后决定安排在小卧室。她点了根蜡烛,叫安妮跟着她。安妮跟了上来,路过大厅时从桌子上拿起自己的帽子和包。大厅非常干净,她发现自己进来的这间小屋似乎更干净。
玛丽拉把蜡烛放在一张三腿桌上,铺开床褥。“好了,赶快脱掉衣服上床睡觉吧。几分钟后我会回来拿蜡烛。我可不放心(dare胆敢)让你自己吹灭蜡烛。你很可能会放火烧了这个地方。”
玛丽拉走后,安妮悲伤地环顾四周。四周的墙壁粉刷得雪白,什么装饰也没有(bare空的)。地板上也空荡荡的。角落里有一张床,一张高高的老式深色木床。桌子和床的中间有一扇窗,窗上挂着一块冰白色的窗帘。房间里没有洗手间,但另一个角落有一个带水龙头(faucet)的洗漱台。整个房间让人感到寒冷而陌生,安妮浑身(bone骨头)打了个冷战(shiver)。她抽泣(sob)着,迅速脱下衣服,穿上睡衣,跳到床上,把脸埋在枕头(pillow)里,拉过棉被蒙住脑袋。
玛丽拉回来取蜡烛时,看到安妮的衣服乱七八糟地扔在地上,便仔细地拾起衣服,整齐地放在黄色的椅子上,然后拿起蜡烛,走到床边。“晚安,”她口气有些生硬,但透着一丝温情说。
安妮从被子里露出苍白的脸蛋和大眼睛。“你明明知道这一定是我度过的最糟糕的一晚,还说什么晚安呢?”她反驳道。然后她又钻进(dive)了被子里。
马修上床睡觉了。玛丽拉收拾完盘子,紧紧地(resolutely)皱着眉头(frown),也回到房间休息了。楼上东山墙那边的房间里,一个孤独、心灰意冷、没有朋友的孩子,哭泣着进入了梦乡。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The desire to sleep late can be almost too much to resist at weekends.This Saturday morning, though, there was something important enough to get me up early.Yawning widely, I got out of bed and put on old jeans and a Tshirt.After combing the house for work gloves, my dad found a pair my mother used for gardening and took them along.
We hopped (跳) in the car and headed into Boston.Guided by my directions, Dad was somehow able to get us to our destination:a row of twostory houses.They were in the process of being built, mostly by volunteers like us.
After grabbing a huge leather tool belt, I met the people I would be working with.Virginia, James and Wilbur were all more than twice my age but treated me like a peer (同龄人).We got to work nailing the frames of walls.By the lunch break I had hit what seemed like every tough spot in the whole house, and pried (撬起) countless bent nails.The rest of the day went by quickly as I gained efficiency with my hammer.Soon it was time to pack up.
As I was leaving, a woman came into the house.She saw the progress we'd made upstairs and started looking around the rooms.Then I realised who the woman was—her family would be living in the house.As she walked through each room, I could see her planning where furniture would go.
Even though I had only been there one short day out of weeks of construction,I felt a great sense of accomplishment.When these houses were finished,six families would have nice homes.
Thank Habitat for Humanity for giving me such an opportunity to make a difference to others' lives.Habitat for Humanity is an international organisation.Local information can be found by visiting www.habitat, org.You are welcome to join and be part of the change you want to see in your community.

Internal communication, also known as IC, refers to a chain of processes responsible for effective circulation of messages within an organization.These messages are information that is valuable to the organization and are supposed to be kept confidential (机密的).The means of transferring this information is often done through emails, letters, notice boards, and even with the help of social media like Skype, Zoom, and Google Meet, in the current times.
Honest internal communication is the healthiest way to keep your organization growing.With honesty around the workplace, it is a safer environment for the employees to release their opinions which could help in the modification of a certain operation that might have been outdated.Other than changes, not opening up to your colleagues can result in frustration and give rise to “gossip culture” at the workplace.When information is not passed out with lucidity ,not only does the quality of work get affected but it also gives rise to questioning the worth of the time spent in the company.
An atmosphere of honesty also encourages growth in responsibility, leadership, and selfaccountability.If the CEO of a company voices the shortcomings of his team in a respectful manner, it would bring room for each employee to take them on a positive note and bring changes for the common development goal of the company that they are working for.This brings a lot of changes in the attitude of every individual employee since they start seeing the company that they are working for as an asset that they cherish(珍爱) dearly.
In a workplace, things go both wrong and right, so it is important to both appreciate and criticize when such situations occur from the end of both the leadership and the employees.The positives should be celebrated while the negatives should be taken as positive criticisms that could help the company grow into something better.The main goal of unity and development should always be kept in mind.

D.It needs a long and difficult process in most cases.
解析:C [细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“Internal communication...These messages are information that is valuable to the organization and are supposed to be kept confidential.”可知,内部沟通中的信息是有价值的、机密的。由此可知,C项“它在一个组织中通常是保密的。”符合题意。故选C。]
6.What does the underlined word “lucidity” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Clearness. B.Assistance.
C.Authority. D.Appreciation.
解析:A [词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“not only does the quality of work get affected but it also gives rise to questioning the worth of the time spent in the company”可知,“When information is not passed out with lucidity”造成的结果并不好,造成这样的结果是因为内部沟通中的信息没有得到清楚的传达。由此可推测,lucidity的意思应该是“清楚,明确”,与A项表达的含义一致。故选A。]
7.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The main responsibilities of the CEO.
B.The importance of unity for a company.
C.The advantage of a powerful leadership.
D.The role of an honest leadership in a company.
解析:D [主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“An atmosphere of honesty also encourages growth in responsibility, leadership, and selfaccountability.”及下文用公司CEO举例,具体讲述真诚的领导能够在公司发挥积极的作用可知,D项“真诚的领导在公司的作用。”符合该段主旨。故选D。]
8.What does the author suggest to us in a workplace in the last paragraph?
A.Taking responsibilities bravely for our mistakes.
B.Trying all possible means to avoid the negatives.
C.Strengthening unity mainly among the employees.
D.Communicating both the positives and the negatives.
解析:D [推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“In a workplace, things go both wrong and right, so it is important to both appreciate and criticize...”可知,在作者看来,工作中的事情有好有坏,所以就会有欣赏和批评。由此可推测,作者应是建议在工作中应该诚实地传达信息,无论好坏,与D项“优点和缺点都要传达。”的表述相符。故选D。]
