One day Columbus was at __(4)__ and several of these fellows were __(5)__. They tried to make Columbus __(6)__.“You have discovered strange lands __(7)__ the sea,”they said,“But we don't see __(8)__ there should be so much said about it.

(1) 用 common man 衬托 Columbus 了不起，赢得了一般人得不到的敬意。(2) 哥伦布是最先发现美洲大陆的，而不是发明者。(3) “像他那样”。as 是连词，引导方式状语从句。(4) 从下文可知，他在吃饭。(5)present adj. 是“在场”之意。(6) 联系上文的 jealous 和下文 these fellows 的故意刁难的事实可以知道答案。(7) 文中 across the ocean 指的是 across the Atlantic Ocean; beyond 意为“在那边”。(8) 不明白为什么有那么多赞扬声。(9) 他认为哥伦布所做的事情最简单。(10) 表示在三者或三者以上之中用among。(11) 注意词义辨析。stand on end 表示“立住”；stand by 表示“支持”; stand still 表示“站着不动”。(12) 做试验。(13) 根据下文的 all said that it could not be done可以看出他们都没成功。(14)strike 表示“敲打”。(15) “轻敲”的目的是把蛋壳弄破一点，好让蛋立住。(16) 固定句型：There is no trouble in doing... 表示“毫不费不力做……”。(17)upright 在此处是形容词，表示“直立”。stand+adj. 表示“处于某种状态”。(18) 空格前面用了比较级形式 easier，所以后面用连词 than 引导比较状语从句。(19) 由前文知，他们都没有成功，故认为这是不可能的(impossible)。(20) 在别人告诉了他怎样去做之后，任何人都能做。 |

China’s first astronaut 38-year-old Yang Liwei returned safely to earth Thursday morning, when his craft Shenzhou Ⅴ touched down as scheduled after more than 21 hours in the earth’s orbit. Chinese premier Wen Jiabao called the landmark debut flight a “complete success”. The descent capsule (返回舱) carrying Lt-Col. Yang Liwei touched down on the grasslands of the Gobi Desert, in central Inner Mongolia at 6:23 a. m. Thursday (Beijing Time), the Beijing-based China’s Aerospace Command and Control Center said. Minutes later, Yang grabbed the capsule hatch with his hand, pulled himself out, smiled and waved at recovery teams and reporters. “It is a splendid moment in the history of my motherland and also the greatest day of my life, ”Yang, a former fighter pilot from Northeast China’s Liaoning province, said immediately after emerging. In an interview with CCTV, China’s state television, Yang said he was feeling excellent. Shenzhou Ⅴ landed at dawn, 4. 8 kilometers (3 miles) from its designed landing target, the officials said. “The spaceship operated well, ”the astronaut Yang Liwei said in his first publicized comments. “I feel very good and I am proud of my motherland. ”After a physical exam on spot, Yang’s condition was found as good. Li Jinai, the commander of China’s manned space program, called Yang a “space hero” and a“national hero”. Following Yang’s touchdown China’s premier Wen Jiabao immediately spoke to Yang from Beijing’s command and control centre and offered his congratulations.
