I’m supposed to be enjoying myself instead of suffering! Everybody seems to have forgotten that college is hard work too. My first days in writing class prove②that delight and pleasure often disappear when assignments are due!

All were strangely shaped, and the Spy Glass, which was by three or four hundred feet the tallest on the island, was likewise the strangest in configuration, running up sheer from almost every side, ⑤and then suddenly cut off at the top like a pedestal to put a statue on.
译文:第二天早晨,我走上甲板一看,那个岛完全变了样。虽然风已全息,我们的船夜里还是走了一大段路,此时正停在地势较低的西岸东南约半英里外。岛的表面很大一部分覆盖着灰暗的树林。……并有不少松柏科的参天大树或者昂然独立,或者三五成地凌驾于其他树木之上,但整个调还是单一、暗淡的。……这些山无不呈现着奇形怪状,比岛上其他山丘高出三四百英尺的望远镜山的轮廓也非常奇特:它的每一面山坡几乎同样陡峭,……

⑥W e are considering providing each of our sales representatives with an eight-digit electronic calculator. Last week I saw a demonstration of your Model GH Wizard at the Boise Business Show, and I think it would fill our needs very nicely. I understand that the Wizard retails for$33.95. Is there a trade discount for companies that buy in fairly large quantities? ⑦Our initial order would be for about 80 units and reorders in perhaps lots of 20.
