Languages are meant to be spoken. So, in order to learn effectively, you should try to spea with someone face to face. Speaking will greatly increase your confidence.

On the other hand, you make very considerable progress by speaking to fellow learners. Don't be embarrassed because bo

It will help you better understand tenses, prepositions and all the othe parts of speech we normally take for granted. ⑵ You will find yourself speaking and writing mo precise and creative sentences. There is a reason why most great writers and poets are students many languages. ⑶
2.Enhance your experience of travel
Traveling is one of the great joys of life and also one of the most expensive. Why not get most out of it?

You will mee many more people and find it much easier to get around. People are much more receptive if you m an effort to speak their language. ⑹This can turn a frustrating experience into the trip of a lifetime.

4.Join the global community
Believe it or not, the majority of the world does not speak our mother tongue.

Gain an advantage for yourself business and personal relationships by being able to communicate with people in their language. This will set you apart and gain you immediate respect and credibility.
Last, but not least:

It involves more than just understanding what an author is saying. Critical reading involves questioning and evaluating what the author is saying ,and forming your own opinions about what the author is saying. Here are the things you should do to be a critical reader. 批判性阅读 批判性阅读适合于那种作者提出一个观点或试图陈述一个说法的纪实类写作。批判性阅读是积极阅读。它不仅仅包括理解作者说了些什么，还包括质疑和评价作者的话，并对此形成自己的观点。成为一名批判性阅读者需要做到以下几点。 Consider the context of what is written. You may be reading something that was written by an author from a different cultural context than yours. Or, you may be reading something written some time ago in a different time context than yours. In either case, you must recognize and take into account any differences between your values and attitudes and those represented by the author. 考虑写作背景。你所读的可能是与你有不同文化背景的人所写的，或者是与你有不同时代背景的人多年以前所写的。无论哪种情况，你都必须注意并考虑你的价值观和态度与作者所代表的价值观和态度有何不同。 Question assertion s made by the author.

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving (感恩节).On this day most retail stores open their doors very early一some as early as 4 am. In addition, they provide their customers with great discounts on products. With this in mind, it is clear to see why so many shoppers buy many of their Christmas gifts on Black Friday. Black Friday is not as ok! as many people think. In fact, it is believed that the first Black. Friday was held in the 1970s in the USA. It was a day when stores decided to mark the start of the holiday season In order to draw more customers, they offered great discounts. All products sold very well. This large success resulted in the name Black Friday, it was so named because the stores were "in the black". This financial term means the stoics made a lot of money. However, it was not until around 2002 that Black Friday really started to gain in popularity. Today in the USA, countless advertisers proudly announce their Black Friday sales. They hope to attract shoppers into their stores. Black Friday is a day when many shoppers in the USA go out and buy gifts, even though Christmas Eve is still a more popular day to shop. Thanks to the Internet, it is now possible to get some excellent Black Friday deals online. So if you don't want to get to the stores by 4 am, this is the perfect way to still get items at reduced prices. 1. Many people know the history of Black Friday. ? A. True B. False C. Not Given
第1课Text A 批判性地阅读 批判性阅读适合于那种作者提出一个观点或试图陈述一个说法的纪实类写作。批判性阅读是积极阅读。它不仅仅包括理解作者说了些什么，还包括质疑和评价作者的话，并对此形成自己的观点。成为一名批判性阅读者需要做到以下几点。 考虑写作背景。你所读的可能是与你有不同文化背景的人所写的，或者是与你有不同时代背景的人多年以前所写的。无论哪种情况，你都必须注意并考虑你的价值观和态度与作者所代表的价值观和态度有何不同。 质疑作者的论点。不要轻信作品的表面意思。在接受作者观点前，首先要确定作者作出的每一个论点都有足够的论据支持。找出能支持该论点的事实、实例、和数据。另外，注意作者是否参考了权威著作。 与同主题文章进行比较。查看该作者的文章与其他作者关于同一主题的文章是否有一致性。如果存在不一致性，对不一致的地方背后的论据支持要进行仔细甄别。 分析作者提出的假设。假设是作者认为具有正确性的前提，基于这些前提作者才能提出论点。很多时候作者的假设并没有直接说明，这就意味着你必须通过仔细阅读来发现这些假设。一旦发现某一假设，你必须判断这一假设是否合理。 鉴别文章出处。鉴别时要确保文章出处真实可信。例如，如果文章是关于物理学里程碑式的成就，那么爱因斯坦的论述就是可靠的出处。此外还要确保出处具有相关性。如果文章主题是诗歌，那么爱因斯坦的论述就不是相关出处。最后，如果作者写的是某个主题当前的情形，那就要确保出处来源也是当前最新的。例如，如果作者讨论的是物理学知识的现状，那么爱因斯坦在二十世纪早期进行的研究可能就不适合作出处了。 甄别作者可能带有的偏见。有关美国政治的书面论述可能因作者是共和党人或民主党人迥然而异。作者所写的内容很可能反映其带有偏见的立场。阅读时要考虑到这种偏见存在的可能性。也就是说，要对文章内容“半信半疑”。 成为一名批判性阅读者，你的思路会不断拓宽，观点会更加合理。 第1课Text B 自信的语言 语言能影响我们的大脑。掌握语言就能在很大程度上掌握我们的生活和命运。将语言发挥到极致可以极大地改善我们的生活质量，这一点至关重要。 再短的单词也能对我们的潜意识产生深远的影响。我们的潜意识就像一个孩子，分不清真实发生的事和自己想象的事。它渴望取悦，乐意听从你给它的任何命令，而你是有意还是无意地做这些完全取决于你。’ “尽力” 这是一个简单的词，却能对我们产生不简单的影响。如果有人说“我会尽力做这件事的”，

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to

I was driving a taxi，looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital，l found a man running down the hospital steps，waving at me. I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “ The Airport，please，“ he said. As always，I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments，he started saying，“How do you like driving a taxi?” ‘s i t’ s OK，”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.” “ What do you do?” I asked. “I am a doctor at New York Hospital. ” Many times during long rides，l’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help，”Could I ask a favor of you?”He didn't answer. “I have a son，15，a good kid. He wants a job this summer. is it possible that you get one for him?” He still wasn't talking, and I was starting to feel foolish.

Unit 10 Ode to Public Transportation A Famous Quote: Plain living and high thinking. –William Wordsworth William Wordsworth (1770-1850), one of the greatest English poets. He was a leader of the romantic movements in England and one of the greatest lyric poets in the history of English literature. Text A: The Importance of Public Transportation Pre-reading Questions: 1. Do you find it important to use public transportation? What are some of the reasons? 2. What suggestions do you give to others on using public transportation? A US Congressman once proclaimed that, “There can be no doubt that the transportation sector is the most critical sector of our economy.” I know exactly what he means. In this day and age, access to transportation is considered a necessity. Public transportation is defined as a service that is available for use by the general public. It is a cheaper and environmentally friendly alternative. It is not a transportation service that you can arrange privately to suit your own personal convenience (although you may, to a certain extent, such as paying for cabin or suite on a train or ship) since you have to consider other passengers who are riding and making similar arrangements with you. I have experienced first-hand how important public transportation is. I live in Saipan, a US territory and the closest things we have to public transportation are tourist and school buses. You have to have your own car or bike, rent a car, or pay upfront for a taxi to go from point A to point B. Otherwise you end up basked in a sweat and sunburn traveling to work every day. When I first came here, I walked. I walked going to and from work. I walked to the store and lugged my heavy groceries back to the house. I walked to church and I barely got to places farther than a twenty-mile radius from my house since I did not own a car then, and I considered renting a car and riding a taxi such an expense for a starting single mother like I was at that time. For me, public transportation is very important because of the following

教材自测（一）答案和解析 Self-Assessment 1（教材182页） 第一部分：阅读判断 1.[解析]文章第一段中提到了应聘者提出的几个问题：What are my...my hobbies ，由此可以看出他们关注的更多是公司给予的“假期”待遇，而非工作本身带来的经历、价值和成长空间等。所以题干的说法是正确的。答案为A。 2.[解析]第二段第一句就说到Good work...work experience，即好的工作态度、习惯和技术来自工作经历而非在学校可以学到。所以题干说法是错误的。答案为B。 3.[解析]第二段第三行讲到I would enter our barnyard...the milking barn，即需要给10至12只奶牛挤奶，至于说是不是一共有12头牛，或者父母会帮忙给余下的其他奶牛挤奶，文章并未提及。答案为C。 4.[解析]第二段最后讲到父母每天早晨都会对奶牛问好，Good morning.It's good to seeyou！然后后面提到I didn't feel quite the same way，这说明作者和父母的感受不同，不愿意清早起床挤牛奶。答案为A。 5.[解析]第三段最后一句提到It made me...to the road, 所以作者是将牛奶捅提到路边等待。牛奶厂的人来接货，而没提到运到集市去卖。答案为C。 6.[解析]第四段首句提到My father and mother...helped me with milking the cows ，即我的父母经常帮我一起挤牛奶，所以题干中说“我经常独自一人挤牛奶”是错误的。答案为B。 7.[解析]第四段倒数第二句指出To my father...as it may seem ，即对于父亲来说，挤牛奶看上去并没有那么复杂。unsophisticated意为不复杂的、简单的，与complicated（复杂的）语义相反。因此题干说法是错误的。答案为B。 8.[解析]第四段第二行指出But Father...needed to be milked，意为奶牛也需要被挤奶，和题干含义吻合。答案为A。 9.[解析]通过第四段讲到父亲对待日常很重复性的挤牛奶的工作的态度，不认为那是一种负担，认为那不仅仅是一项工作，也是一项服务。父亲的哲学态度感染了作者，因此第五段讲到了作者对生活和工作的态度的转变；认识到每种工作都有其意义所在（all honest work is honorable）, 所以题干的说法虽然文中并没有直接显示出，但是通过内容可以推测出来。答案为A。 10.[解析]第五段最后一句给出了答案，Self-confidence and empowerment can serve us well,即Self-confidence和empowerment会在我们的工作中和生活中帮助我们。因此题干的说法是正确的。答案为A。 第二部分：阅读选择 11.[解析]第一段讲了9·11事故中，Avremel冒着生命危险，在所有人都逃离大厦的时候，陪伴着自己瘫痪的朋友兼同事Ed Beyea，结果两人都失去了生命（Both men lost their lives）。答案为D。 12.[解析]第四段提到They both loved books and music，即两人都喜欢书籍和音乐，与B项内容吻合。答案为B。 13.[解析]第三段开头提到Ed became disabled after a diving accident，即Ed是在跳水中出了事故，而并非driving （驾驶），所以C项是错误的。B项意为Avremel 年轻的时候喜欢跳水，文中无相关信息。A项意为Avremel 在工作后照顾Ed的生活，文中也无相关信息。D项意为Ed无法独自下楼，文中提到Ed四肢瘫痪，所以肯定是无法独自下楼，此项可由文中内容推测出。答案为D。 14.[解析]第五段讲到Ed想等到救援人员来将其安全救出，因为任何人如果想带着四肢残疾的他逃命都会很危险。Avremel 不想他的朋友独自等待，所以留下来陪伴。综合考虑，只有C项最符合。答案为C。 15.[解析]9·11事件之后，布什进行了国家祈祷的演讲。address 可表示演讲、演说。因此只有A项符合。答案为A。 第三部分：概括段落大意和补全句子 16.[解析]第一段首句给出了我们相关的信息，Mistakes have a way of focusing our attention at…in our face，即错误会给我们一种集中精力和直面关键问题的方法。综合来看，只有E项中出现了关键词focus our attention 。答案为E。 17.[解析]第二段通过事例讲到人应该不惧怕犯错误，才能改正错误，让自己进步。A项中的关键词encourage taking risks 符合本段语境。答案为A。
