阅读【甲】【乙】两文，完成后面习题。
【甲】秦王谓唐雎日：“寡人以五百里之地易安陵，安陵君不听寡人，何也？且秦灭韩亡魏，而君以五十里之地存者，以君为长者，故不错意也。今吾以十倍之地，请广于君，而君逆寡人者，轻寡人与？”唐雎对日：“否，非若是也。安陵君受地于先王而守之，虽千里不敢易也，岂直五百里哉？”
秦王怫然怒，谓唐雎日：“公亦尝闻天子之怒乎？”唐雎对日：“臣未尝闻也。”秦王日：“天子之怒，伏尸百万，流血千里。”唐雎日：“大王尝闻布衣之怒乎？”秦王日：“布衣之怒，亦免冠徒跣，以头抢地耳。”唐雎曰：“此庸夫之怒也，非士之怒也。夫专诸之刺王僚也，彗星袭月；聂政之刺韩傀也，白虹贯日；要离之刺庆忌也，仓鹰击于殿上。此三子者，皆布衣之士也，怀怒未发，休祲降于天，与臣而将四矣。若士必怒，伏尸二人，流血五步，天下缟素，今日是也。”挺剑而起。
秦王色挠，长跪而谢之日：“先生坐！何至于此！寡人谕矣：夫韩、魏灭亡，而安陵以五十里之地存者，徒以有先生也。”   （选自《唐雎不辱使命》）
【乙】荆轲奉樊於期①头函，而秦武阳②奉地图匣，以次进。至陛③下，秦武阳色变振恐，群臣怪之，荆轲顾笑武阳，前为谢日：“北蛮夷之鄙人，未尝见天子，故振慑，愿大王少④假借⑤之，使毕使于前。”秦王谓轲曰：“起，取武阳所持图！”
轲既取图奉之，发⑥图，图穷而匕首见。因左手把秦王之袖，而右手持匕首揕⑦（zhèn）之。未至身，秦王惊，自引而起，绝⑧袖。拔剑，剑长，操其室（剑鞘）。时恐急，剑坚（插得很紧），故不可立拔。
荆轲逐秦王，秦王还⑨柱而走。群臣惊愕，卒⑩起不意，尽失其度。而秦法，群臣侍殿上者，不得持尺兵；诸郎中⑾执兵，皆陈殿下，非有诏不得上。方急时不及召下兵以故荆轲逐秦王，而卒惶急无以击轲，而乃以手共搏之。（选自《荆轲刺秦王》）

Dear mum and dad,

    I'm writing this letter to you from the center of Australia. At themoment we're staying near Uluru—that's the aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.

    The Australians have many British relatives. That's why they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.

Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.

    The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down…

    Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home, it's been a fantastic trip!
