Look at the picture of an office worker’s desk. Notice how the baskets on the secretary’s desk have labels(标签). Labels help office workers know what something is for and where something may be.
Read the labels. What do you think they mean?
In each basket are job tasks that a secretary needs to do or has completed. The labels tell her what must be done with the jobs in the drawer.
For example, one drawer has this label: To Be Done ASAP( ASAP means As Soon As Possible.) Let’s say someone needs a copy of a letter and puts it in that basket.
What would you think the secretary would do?
The secretary would copy the letter as soon as she could. Then she would give it back to the person right away. That is the main point of the label: the tasks in this drawer need to be done right away.
The other labels also have a main point.
IN: The tasks need to be done.
OUT: The tasks are finished and can go back to the persons who sent the tasks.
MAIL: The tasks must go to the post office.
TO BE FILED: The tasks must be put in the file drawers.
In which basket would you put the following things? Write the label of the basket.
A. a contract(合同) that must be copied right away B. reports that must be filed away C. a letter that needs be signed(签字) D. an iphone 5 that should be fixed at once E. a meeting schedule that has been typed F. a user’s guide that must be sent to a buyer |

Have you ever wondered?
Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?
It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon (大气现象) known as the jet stream (气流). The jet stream is a very high altitude (= above sea level) wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. So the planes moving at a constant air speed go faster from the west to the east when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite.
What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?
Supposing we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other buildings float away? What happened would depend on (依靠) how strongly the things were attached (吸附) to the earth. The earth is moving at quite a speed, moving at over a thousand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head on a string, it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. ‘Turning off’ gravity would be like letting go of the string. Things not attached to the earth would fly off in a straight line. People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling (= top surface of a room). Most things outside would fly off into space.

Once a small boy lived on the farm which seemed so far away from everywhere. He needed to get up sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would and climb up on the fence(篱笆) along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “ If they could golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He how great it would be to live there. Then he himself, “ Some day I will go there and see this wonderful place.”
One morning his father would go to town told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his , he took a sandwich and headed across the field the house with the golden windows.
As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw golden windows but instead a place in bad of painting. A small girl very close to his came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her she had seen the house with the golden windows. The girl said,” Sure, I know,” and invited him to sit on the porch(门廊). As he sat there, he looked back from he just came. There he saw the turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.
