书虫牛津英汉双语读物。
“书虫”是外语教学与研究出版社和牛津大学出版社共同奉献给广大英语学习者的一大精品。书虫在英语中大概是颇可爱的形象。想象一下,有那么一只勤勉的小虫,它如痴如醉地沉迷于书卷,孜孜不倦地咀嚼着字母……
如今这只“书虫”漂洋过海,轻盈地落在了中国英语学习者的掌中。“书虫”首先将给你自信,即使你目前只有几百的词汇量,也可以不太费劲地阅览世界名作了。书虫还会用它细细的鸣叫声不停地提醒你:要坚持不懈地读下去,要广泛而丰富地读下去。待到读完丛书系列中的最后一本,你也许会突然发现:你已经如蛹化蝶,振翅欲翔了!
海洛因能杀人。但是,在杀人之前,海洛因首先会改变一个人。它将你的朋友变成敌人;将你的爱人变成陌生人。海洛因杀死人的躯体:但它首先摧毁人的心灵。安娜·哈兰认为她了解自己的女儿萨拉。她知道萨拉不会贩卖海洛因。但是,爱情也能改变一个人。萨拉正在恋爱:和一个陌生人恋爱。她的包里为什么会有海洛因?是给她的男朋友带的吗?
有人要死了,但会是谁?是吸食海洛因的人?还是贩卖海洛因的人?抑或是一个从未碰过海洛因的年轻女孩?海洛因就是白色死亡。如果它能够的话,它将把这些人都杀死。

The woman stood in front of the prison.The prison was a big,dirty building in the biggest town of a hot country.The woman was very hot,and she did not like the noise from all the cars in the road.She was an Englishwoman and she did not like hot countries or a lot of noise.She was tall,about fifty years old,with blue eyes and a long face.Her face was red,and she looked tired and angry.
She knocked at the door of the prison.For a long time nothing happend.Then a little window opened in the door,and a man looked out at her.
‘Yes?What do you want?’
‘I want to see my daughter.It's very important.’
‘Name?’
‘Anna Harland.’
‘Is that your name or your daughter's name?’
‘It's my name.My daughter's name is Sarah Harland.’
‘You can't visit her today.Come back on Wednesday.’
‘No!I came from England to see her today.It's very important.She's going to court tomorrow.Please take me to her—now!’
‘Wait a minute.’
The little window closed,but the door did not open.The woman waited in front of the door for a long time.A lot of people in the road looked at her.One or two young men laughed,but she did not move.She stood there in the hot road in front of the prison door,and waited.
After twenty minutes,the door opened.‘Come with me,’the man said.The woman went in with him.It was dark in the prison,and at first she could not see very well.She walked for a long time,past hundreds of doors.Then the man opened one of them.
‘In here,’he said.‘You can have ten minutes.’
Anna Harland walked into the room and the man went in after her.He closed the door behind him.There was a table in the room,and two chairs.On one of the chairs sat her daughter,Sarah.She was a tall girl,about nineteen years old,with big blue eyes.
‘Mother!’she said.‘I'm very happy to see you.’And she got up and began to run across the room to her mother.
‘Sarah!’Anna said,and put out her arms.But the man moved quickly and stood between them.
‘No,’he said to Anna.‘I'm sorry.I know you're her mother.You can talk,but that's all.Please sit down at the table.I am here to watch you.’
