    The search for power begins when we were quite young.    36   children, we're told that the power of the good triumphs ( 戰(zhàn)勝 ) over the power of the evil. But as we grow   37   older, we realize that   38   is that simple. The power of evil always remains.

     Death is unavoidable. It is a promise made to each of us   50   birth. But before the promise is kept, we all hope something will happen to us. We all hope to experience something   51   makes our lives meaningful, but the sad fact is that not all lives have meaning. Some people spend their time on this   52   just sitting aside,   53   for something to happen to them   54   it is too late.

     Sooner or later the time comes when we all must become responsible adults. Then we learn to   55__ what we want so that we can choose to do what is right. Of course a life time of responsibility isn't always easy. But still we try to do what is best, what is good, not only for ourselves, but for those we love.

When you come to America, you' II find that the American word for many things is not the same as the English one. For example, a cinema is “the movies", sweets are “candy", a tin is a “can" and instead of posting a letter you “mail" it. After an Englishman has “phoned" you, he will “ring off", after an American has “called" you , he will “hang up".

   When you arrive in New York, you first see the Statue of Liberty, it' s 93 maters tall and forty people can stand inside its head. Then you may see the Rockefeller Centre, which cost 100 million dollars to build and has 13,000 telephones in it. Its hanging gardens are four times the size of the famous hanging gardens of Babylon that were one of the seven Wonders of the ancient world. The Empire State Building, 102 storeys, more than one thousand feet high, is the highest man-made thing in the world.

    The streets in New York, instead of streets wandering and twisting as they do in London, are all regular and planned. The streets running north and south are called “avenues" and are numbered, e. g. 1 st Avenue, 2nd Avenue, etc. The streets going east and west are called “streets” and also numbered, e. g. 51st Street, 63rd Street, etc.

The United States is a big place, as one American said, “Yon can leave New York, fly twice as far as from London to Moscow, and find yourself still in America."
