)，學(xué)習(xí)怎樣做這份工作。很明顯，這種工作確實能幫助人。我想當(dāng)我上大學(xué)后我會繼續(xù)做調(diào)解員的工作。復(fù)活節(jié)假期期間，我參加了學(xué)校組織的落基山短期滑雪旅行。我以前滑過好多次雪，但從來沒跟同學(xué)一起去過。我的兩個好朋友也一起去了，我們比賽著沖下雪坡，玩得非常開心。眾所周知，美國人爭強好勝，每當(dāng)我贏得了比賽，我都會為此欣喜萬分！OtherthingsI'mpleasedabouteq\o(○,\s\up1(37))—gettinggoodgradesonmyfinalexams,andreceivingtheseniorprizeforEnglishLiteratureeq\o(○,\s\up1(38)).IwasgivenacarbymyparentssoI'vebeenabletodrivetoschool,whichisbrillianteq\o(○,\s\up1(39)).Andofcourseeq\o(○,\s\up1(40))，I'llneverforgetbeingeq\o(○,\s\up1(41))electedeq\o(○,\s\up1(42))tothestudentcouncileq\o(○,\s\up1(43)).Ireallyenjoyedmeetingeq\o(○,\s\up1(44))theteachersandtellingthemhowwe,thestudentseq\o(○,\s\up1(45))，feelaboutthings,andwhatwethinkshouldhappenintheschooleq\o(○,\s\up1(46))！Allthesethingshavebeenwonderful.ButIhavetoeq\o(○,\s\up1(47))say,thehighlightoftheyearwastheseniorprom.Foreq\o(○,\s\up1(48))anAmericangirl,it'ssoimportantthatyouhaveagoodtimeeq\o(○,\s\up1(49))atthepromeq\o(○,\s\up1(50)).Well,Idid!Daniel,aboyinmyEnglishclass,askedmetogoeq\o(○,\s\up1(51))tothepromwithhim,andIwassopleased—I'dbeenhopingeq\o(○,\s\up1(52))hewouldaskme.Ifoundadressthatsuitedeq\o(○,\s\up1(53))meperfectlyeq\o(○,\s\up1(54))，andhadmyhairspeciallydoneeq\o(○,\s\up1(55))onthedayoftheprom.Iteq\o(○,\s\up1(56))tooktwohoursbutitwaswortheq\o(○,\s\up1(57))it,aseq\o(○,\s\up1(58))everyonetoldmeIlookedveryeleganteq\o(○,\s\up1(59))！Agroupofusrentedeq\o(○,\s\up1(60))anicecartotakeustotheprom.ThefoodwasdeliciousandIatesomuchthateq\o(○,\s\up1(61))Ihadtostopdancingeq\o(○,\s\up1(62))forawhileeq\o(○,\s\up1(63))！Wesharedatablewitheq\o(○,\s\up1(64))somegoodfriends,andlaughedandtoldjokeseq\o(○,\s\up1(65))alleveningeq\o(○,\s\up1(66)).It'sagreatpitythateq\o(○,\s\up1(67))it'sprobablyeq\o(○,\s\up1(68))thelasttimethiswillhappen.eq\o(○,\s\up1(37))I'mpleasedabout是定語從句，修飾先行詞otherthings。eq\o(○,\s\up1(38))EnglishLiterature英國文學(xué)eq\o(○,\s\up1(39))whichisbrilliant是非限制性定語從句。eq\o(○,\s\up1(40))ofcourse當(dāng)然eq\o(○,\s\up1(41))forgetdoing忘記做過eq\o(○,\s\up1(42))elect/I'lekt/v.選舉；推選eq\o(○,\s\up1(43))counciln．理事會eq\o(○,\s\up1(44))enjoydoing喜歡做eq\o(○,\s\up1(45))thestudents作we的同位語。eq\o(○,\s\up1(46))whatwe...是賓語從句，與前面的howwe...并列作telling的賓語，而wethink在從句中作插入語。eq\o(○,\s\up1(47))haveto不得不eq\o(○,\s\up1(48))forprep.對于eq\o(○,\s\up1(49))haveagoodtime玩得高興eq\o(○,\s\up1(50))attheprom在舞會上eq\o(○,\s\up1(51))asksb.todosth.要求某人做某事eq\o(○,\s\up1(52))hadbeenhoping是過去完成進行時態(tài)，其后省略了引導(dǎo)賓語從句的that。eq\o(○,\s\up1(53))suit/su?t/v.合適；適合eq\o(○,\s\up1(54))thatsuitedmeperfectly是定語從句，修飾adress。eq\o(○,\s\up1(55))hadmyhairdone找人給我做了頭發(fā)eq\o(○,\s\up1(56))It指上文中提到的“做頭發(fā)”。eq\o(○,\s\up1(57))worthadj.值得beworthdoing...值得做……eq\o(○,\s\up1(58))asconj.因為，由于eq\o(○,\s\up1(59))elegantadj.典雅的eq\o(○,\s\up1(60))rent/rent/v.(短期)租用eq\o(○,\s\up1(61))so...that...如此……以至于……eq\o(○,\s\up1(62))stopdoing停止做eq\o(○,\s\up1(63))forawhile一會兒eq\o(○,\s\up1(64))share...with...與……共用……eq\o(○,\s\up1(65))telljokes講笑話eq\o(○,\s\up1(66))allevening整個晚上eq\o(○,\s\up1(67))It'sagreatpitythat...很可惜……eq\o(○,\s\up1(68))probablyadv.很可能[第6～7段譯文]令我感到高興的其他事情還有——期末考試取得優(yōu)異的成績、英國文學(xué)課獲得最高獎項。父母送了我一輛車，所以我能夠開車去上學(xué)，這真是太棒了。當(dāng)然，我也永遠忘不了當(dāng)選為學(xué)生會成員的經(jīng)歷。我確實喜歡和老師們碰面，告訴他們我們學(xué)生有什么想法，認為學(xué)校里應(yīng)該有些什么變化！所有這些事情都非常精彩。不過我不得不說，這一年最精彩的還要數(shù)畢業(yè)舞會。對美國女孩來說，在舞會上玩得開心太重要了。而我，就玩得非常開心！和我同上英語課的男孩丹尼爾邀請我和他一起參加舞會，我太高興了——我一直盼望著他來邀請我。我找到一件非常適合我的晚禮服，畢業(yè)舞會那天還專門去做了頭發(fā)。這花了我兩個小時，不過很值得，因為每個人都說我看上去非常端莊典雅！我們一群人租了一輛非常漂亮的車去參加舞會。吃的東西美味極了，我吃了很多，不得不在跳舞時停下來歇一會兒！我們和幾位好朋友坐在一張桌子，整個晚上都在嬉鬧，都在講笑話。真遺憾，這樣美妙的夜晚很可能不會再有了。DanielandIdancedeq\o(○,\s\up1(69))mostofthedancestogether.Butthebigsurpriseeq\o(○,\s\up1(70))oftheeveningwaseq\o(○,\s\up1(71))whenIwaselectedpromqueeneq\o(○,\s\up1(72))！Thiswassounexpectedeq\o(○,\s\up1(73))，andIcan'ttellyouhowgoodthismademefeel!Aftertheprom,agroupofusdrovedowntothecoast,andsatonthebeachinourlongdressesanddinnerjacketseq\o(○,\s\up1(74)).Ishallneverforgetwatchingthesunriseeq\o(○,\s\up1(75))overthesea—itwasunforgettableeq\o(○,\s\up1(76))！Afterwardseq\o(○,\s\up1(77))，wewentandhadanenormouseq\o(○,\s\up1(78))breakfasteq\o(○,\s\up1(79))inanearbyhotel—itwasaperfectendingeq\o(○,\s\up1(80))toaperfectschoolyear.eq\o(○,\s\up1(69))dancev．跳舞eq\o(○,\s\up1(70))surprisen．驚喜，吃驚的事，此處為抽象名詞具體化。eq\o(○,\s\up1(71))whenIwaselected...是表語從句。eq\o(○,\s\up1(72))promqueen舞會的女王eq\o(○,\s\up1(73))unexpectedadj.未預(yù)料到的eq\o(○,\s\up1(74))dinnerjacket男子晚禮服上裝，無尾禮服上裝eq\o(○,\s\up1(75))sunrisen．日出eq\o(○,\s\up1(76))unforgettableadj.令人難忘的eq\o(○,\s\up1(77))afterwardsadv.后來eq\o(○,\s\up1(78))enormous/I'n??m?s/adj.巨大的，龐大的eq\o(○,\s\up1(79))havebreakfast吃早餐eq\o(○,\s\up1(80))aperfectending完美的結(jié)局[第8段譯文]丹尼爾和我一起跳了大部分的舞蹈。不過，那晚的大驚喜還是我當(dāng)選為舞會的女王！這太出乎意料了，我簡直無法告訴你這一切讓我感覺有多棒！舞會后，我們一群人開車到海邊，穿著長禮服和無尾禮服坐在海灘上，我永遠也不會忘記觀看海上日出的情景——這一幕真是令人難忘！后來，我們?nèi)ジ浇囊粋€旅館吃了一頓豐盛的早餐——為我們這個完美的學(xué)年畫上了圓滿的句號。Pre-readingPleasematchthewordswiththeirpropermeanings.1．foreverA．toputanendtoanargumentoradisagreement2．settle
