Unit 4TrainA train is a connected series of vehicles for rail transport that move along a track to transport cargo or passengers from one place to another. The track usually consists of two rails, but might also be a monorail or maglev guideway.Propulsion for the train is provided by a separate locomotive. Most modern trains are powered by diesel locomotives, although historically (from the early 19th century to the mid-20th century) the steam locomotive was the dominant form of locomotive power.There are various types of train designed for particular purposes. A train can consist of one or more locomotives and attached railroad cars.A passenger train may consist of one or several locomotives, and one or more coaches. Passenger trains travel between stations, at which passengers may board and disembark. In most cases, passenger trains operate on a fixed schedule and have superior track occupancy rights over freight trains.Oversight of a passenger train is the responsibility of the conductor. He or she is usually assisted by other crew members, such as service attendants or porters. During the heyday of North American passenger rail travel, long distance trains carried two conductors: the aforementioned train conductor, and a Pullman conductor, the latter being in charge of sleeping car personnel.Some passenger trains, both long distance and short distanced, may use bi-level (double-decker) cars to carry more passengers per train. Car design and the general safety of passenger trains have dramatically evolved over time, making travel by rail remarkably safe.Freight trains comprise wagons , though some parcel and mail trains are more like passenger trains. Much of the world's freight is transported by train, and in the United States the rail system is used more for transporting freight than passengers. Under the right circumstances, transporting freight by train is highly economic, and also more energy efficient than transporting freight byroad. Rail freight is most economic when freight is being carried in bulk and over long distances, but is less suited to short distances and small loads.译文列车列车是铁路运输中连接起来的一组车辆，它们在轨道上行驶，从一地向另一地运输旅客或货物。

I was afraid of being off by myself, away from my family for the first time. Here I was surrounded by people I did not know and who did not know me. I would have to make friends with them and perhaps also compete with them for grades in courses I would take. Were they smarter than I was? Could I keep up with them? Would they accept me?2 I soon learned that my life was now up to me. I had to set a study program if I wanted to succeed in my courses. I had to regulate the time I spent studying and the time I spent socializing. I had to decide when to go to bed, when and what to eat, when and what to drink, and with whom to be friendly. These questions I had to answer for myself.3 At first, life was a bit difficult. I made mistakes in how I used my time.I spent too much time making friends. I also made some mistakes in how I chose my first friends in college.4 Shortly, however, I had my life under control. I managed to go to class on time, do my first assignments and hand them in, and pass my first exams with fairly good grades. In addition, I made a few friends with whom I felt comfortable and with whom I could share my fears. I set up a routine that was really my own — a routine that met my needs.5 As a result, I began to look upon myself from a different perspective.I began to see myself as a person responsible for myself and responsible formy friends and family. It felt good to make my own decisions and see thosedecisions turn out to be wise ones. I guess that this is all part of whatpeople call “growing up.”6 What did life have in store for me? At that stage in my life, I reallywas not certain where I would ultimately go in life and what I would do withthe years ahead of me. But I knew that I would be able to handle what wasahead because I had successfully jumped this important hurdle in my life: Ihad made the transition from a person dependent on my family for emotionalsupport to a person who was responsible for myself.大学——我一生中的转折点作为一名一年级新生初进大学时，我害怕自己在学业上搞不好。

The desire to read easily led to the Braille system. January 4 is Braille Day. That day honors the blind. Butwe should also remember Louis and what he achieved by age 15.2 Louis Braille was born on January 4, 1809, in France. He lived with his parents, two older sisters, and one older brother in a small, stone house in Coupvray.3 Three-year-old Louis went to his father’s workshop. Louis’s father was a saddle maker who made items out of leather. Imitating his father, Louis tried to cut a piece of leather with a small knife. His hand slipped, and the point of the knife went into his eye. The doctors took care of him the best they could, but the injured eye got infected. Then the infection spread to his good eye. Louis became blind.4 Louis went to a public school and learned by listening to the teacher. To do his homework, his sister and a friend read the assignments to him. Soon Louis was at the top of his class.5 One day, the pastor of Louis’s church came to Louis’s house and told his parents of a school for the blind in Paris. Louis’s parents decided to send him to the school when he was nine years old.6 Louis wanted very much to read. The school had only 14 books for blind people; the books were big and heavy. The letters were large and raised; one book took a long time to read. Louis thought there must be a better way to read.7 When Louis was 12, Charles Barbier, a French Army officer, came to the school. Barbier developed an alphabet code used by army soldiers. The code was used to deliver messages to the soldiers at night. It was made up of dots and dashes. It kept the messages secret even if the enemy would see them, but the code was too complicated for the blind. Louis thought the code was slow and the dashes took up too much space. Only one or two sentences fit on a page.8 Over the next three years, Louis worked to simplify the code. On a vacation at home, Louis, age 15, picked up a blunt awl. Aha An idea came to him. He made the alphabet using only six dots. Different dots were raised for different letters. Later, he madea system for numbers and music.9 Today, Braille is in nearly every language around the world. Louis Braille, at age 15, changed the lives of blind people when he created the six-dot Braille system. It is fitting that January 4, Louis’s birthday, is considered Braille Day, in honor of the blind.他帮助了盲人眼睛瞎了而又想读书——这就是路易·布莱叶(de)生活现实.想顺利进行阅读(de)愿望导致了布莱叶盲字体系(de)产生.1月4日是布拉耶日.这一节日是向盲人表示敬意.我们还应该记住路易和他在15岁时取得(de)成就.路易·布莱叶于1809年1月4日生于法国.他与父母、两个姐姐和一个哥哥住在库普弗雷一幢小小(de)石头房子里.3岁(de)路易去了父亲(de)作坊.路易(de)父亲是个鞍具制作商,他用皮革制作各种鞍具.路易学着父亲(de)样子,试着用小刀割一块皮革.他(de)手一滑,刀尖就戳进了眼睛.医生们竭尽全力为他医治,但那只受伤(de)眼睛受到了感染.后来感染传给了他那只好(de)眼睛.路易变成了盲人.路易进了一所公立学校,通过听老师讲课进行学习.为了做作业,他(de)姐姐和一个朋友把作业读给他听.很快路易便成了班里(de)尖子生.一天,教会(de)牧师来到路易家,告诉他(de)父母, 巴黎有一所盲童学校.路易(de)父母决定把他送到那所学校去,当时他是9岁.路易12岁时,一位法国军官查尔斯·巴比埃来到了学校.巴比埃研制出一种供军队士兵使用(de)字母电码.这种电码被用来在夜间向士兵发送信息.它由点和划组成.即使敌人看到信息,电码也能使它们保密.但这种电码对盲人来说太复杂了.路易认为这种电码使用起来太慢,而那些划也太占地方.一页纸只容得下一两句句子.在以后(de)三年中,路易一直在做着简化电码(de)工作.在家中度假(de)一天,15岁(de)路易捡起了一把钝锥子.啊哈他突然想到了一个主意.他只用6个点就做出了字母表.他用不同(de)凸点代表不同(de)字母.后来,他又为数字和音乐编制了一个体系.今天,布莱叶盲字已用于全世界几乎每一种语言.路易·布莱叶在15岁时创造了六圆点布莱叶体系从而改变了盲人(de)生活.把布莱叶(de)生日1月4日定为向盲人表示敬意(de)布莱叶日是非常恰当(de).Unit 3 Text A Thanks, Mom, for All You Have Done1 We tend to get caught up in everyday business and concerns and forget some of the things that are most important. Too few of us stop and take the time to say “thank you” to our mothers.2 With a letter to my mother on the occasion of Mother’s Day, I’m going to take a minute to reflect. Feel free to use any of this in greeting your own mother on Sunday, May 10. Happy Mother’s Day to all.Dear Mom,3 This letter, I know, is long past due. I kn ow you’ll forgive the tardiness, you always do.4 There are so many reasons to say thank you, it’s hard to begin. I’ll always remember you were there when you were needed.5 When I was a child, as happens with young boys, there were cuts and bumps and scrapes that always felt better when tended by you.6 You kept me on the straight path, one I think I still walk.7 There was nothing quite so humbling as standing outside my elementary school classroom and seeing you come walking down the hall. You were working at the school and I often managed to get sentoutside class for something. Your chiding was gentle, but right tothe point.8 I also remember that even after I grew bigger than you,you weren’t afraid to remind me who was in charge.For that I thankyou.9 You did all the things that mothers do — the laundry, thecooking and cleaning —all without complaint or objection.But you were never too busy to help with a problem, or just givea hand.10 You let me learn the basics in the kitchen, and duringthe time I was on my own it kept me from going hungry.11 You taught by example and for that I am grateful. Ican see how much easier it is with my own daughter to be the bestmodel I can be. You did that for me.12 Your children are grown now, your grandchildren,almost. You can look back with pride now and know you can rest. Asmothers are judged, you stand with the best.13 God bless you, Mom.谢谢你,妈妈,为了你所做(de)一切我们往往被日常事务缠住而忘记一些最为重要(de)事情.我们极少有人停下来花时间对我们(de)母亲说一声“谢谢你” .我准备在母亲节之际花一点时间给母亲写封信反省一下.在5月10日星期天问候你(de)母亲时请随意用这封信中任何句子.祝大家母亲节快乐.亲爱(de)妈妈：我知道,这封信早就该写了.我知道你会原谅我(de)拖沓,你总是这样(de).有很多很多理由要说谢谢你,真不知从何说起.我会永远记住,每当需要你时,你总是在那儿.我小(de)时候,如同所有(de)小男孩一样,身上总有些割破(de)伤口、碰撞造成(de)肿块和擦伤,但有你照料总感到好一些.你使我一直走在正路上,我认为这仍是我在走(de)路.最为丢脸(de)事莫过于站在我小学(de)课堂外看到你沿着走廊走过来.你在学校里工作,而我竟然常常因为犯事被赶出教室.你(de)责备很和婉,但却非常中肯.我还记得,即使在我长得比你高大以后,你也不怕提醒我谁是家里(de)主管.为此我感谢你.母亲们做(de)事你都做了,洗衣服、烧饭、打扫卫生,而且毫无怨言、毫无异议.然而即使再忙你也总能帮着我做习题,或助我一臂之力.你让我学会了厨房里(de)基本功,这使我在独自一人时不致挨饿.你以身作则,身教重于言教,对此我非常感激.我能看到我多么容易就成了自己女儿(de)最佳楷模.你为我做出了榜样.你(de)孩子们现在都已成人,你孩子们(de)孩子也差不多都已长大.你现在可以自豪地回顾过去,而且知道自己可以休息了.要是对母亲们进行评价,你当立于最佳母亲之列.愿上帝保佑你,妈妈.。

It is located between the bustling Dong-bei-jiao and Bei-da-guan, narrower than 10 meters in width and stretching about 710 meters from east to west. The market took off from shell fabric, and soon extended to trades in silk ,second-hand clothing, fashions, leather and furs, and even military uniforms.3-2Even today , you can still sense its old-time glory fromtraces of some old stores with commodious shopfront and counters on both floors. Its primetime came in the 1930s when it became the trading centre for silk, cloth, fur, clothing, stationery, Chinese medicine and other daily commodities of North China.3-3 Some time-honored brands, including the food brand Laomaosheng and silk brands Qianxiangyi, built in 1917, was listed as a historical and cultural site by Tianjin’s municipal government.

It began in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and then flourished in modern society. Crosstalk is a traditional comic performance in the form of a monologue, a duo dialogue or a multi-person dialogue. Modern crosstalk requires four basic skills, i.e. speaking, imitating, teasing, and singing.3-6 Crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales to social issues of the time. Therefore, it is popular among common people. In the old times, temple fairs and markets were the main places for crosstalkers to perform. In modern Tianjin, crosstalk is not only performed in theatres, but also in tea houses. When friends come to visit, Tianjin people prefer to take them to a tea house, enjoying crosstalk with a pot of tea and local snacks such as fried melon seeds and green turnip.3-7 The unique cultural atmosphere of Tianjin has fostered many crosstalk masters. The most reputable one is Ma Sanli, who is famous for his plain style with self-deprecating humor.Besides crosstalk, there are many other Chinese folk art forms growing and thriving in Tianjin, such as Pingshu (story-telling), Kuaiban (clapper talk), Danxian (on string fiddle), etc. What’s more, some ra re forms such as Jingyun Dagu (story–telling in Beijing dialect using drums) and Jingdong Dagu (an ancient Chinese art in the east of Beijing) originated in Tianjin. Therefore, Tianjin is renowned as “hometown of Quyi (Chinese fork art forms) ”. To many lo cals, the culture of Tianjin folk art is the soul of their city and a highlight of their own leisure time.Unit 3课文23-8Tianjin Port locates at the cross point of Beijing-Tianjin city band and Bohai Rim Economic Circle.

Now a footbridge , after a recent renovation in 2013, Jintang Bridge is also known as the “Glass Bridge ” to the local people as the two approach spans are made of glass. 3-16 As a landmark of Tianjin , Jiefang Bridge (Liberation Bridge ) was completed in 1927and is still open to road traffic and river traffic . This 96.7-meter-long bridge is the only bridge over the Haihe River that can be raised and opened in the middle to let the large ship pass .For centuries , the “mother river ” has witnessed the development of Tianjin and will always be an iconic image of the city .Unit 5课文2Three Delicacies of Tianjin3-17 Tianjin attracts visitors from home and abroad not only with beautiful scenery but also traditional local cousine and snacks. The most famous must-try snacks are known as the “Three Delicacies of Tianjin”: Ear-hole Fried Cake, Goubuli Steamed Stuffed Bun and Guifaxiang Fried Dough Twist.3-18 Ear-hole Fried Cake is a traditional Tianjin snack. It is made with wheat and glutinous rice flour and filled with high quality red bean paste. The pastry of the finished cake is golden in color and crisp, while the filling tastes sweet and soft, with rich nutrition. The fried cake originated in 1900 by a man named Liu Wanchun who owned a shop selling fried rice cakes. Because his shop was situated near the narrow Ear Hole Lane, his cakes were then given the name “Ear-Hole Fried Cake ”.3-19Goubuli Steamed Staffed Bun was created in 1858 by a man named Gao guiyou of Wuqing County. His father gave him a nickname as a baby of “Doggy”, hoping that it would be easier to feed him like a baby dog. At the age of 14, Doggy became an apprentice in a restaurant specializing in stuffed buns. Being diligent and honest, he eventually opened a restaurant on his own. What made his stuffedbuns so delicious, but not greasy, were the selected ingredients. The process of making them, in addition to the special flavor, appealed to an increasing number of customers.3-20As Doggy's business continued to prosper, he became very busy and did not even have time talk to his customers. Therefore, people often joked, “Doggy sells buns and heeds nobody”. Later people started calling him “Gou Bu Li”, which literally means “taking notice of no one”. Today, in addition to Tianjin, Goubuli has opened a number of branch restaurants in other cities of China as well as in Singpore, Japan, Korea and the United States.3-21 Guifaxiang Ma Hua or fried Dough Twist is a Chinese dough twist that is fried in peanut oil and stuffed with a variety of fillings. It is renowned for crispness and a unique sweet flavor with the addition of such small condiments as osmanthus, ginger and walnut. Ma Hua can be preserved for three months in spring and autumn, and two months in summer, making a perfect gift for relatives and friends.Tianjin has a very famous food culture, and many travelers, especially newcomers, are expecting to taste the “three delicacies” as well as other snacks and local dishes of the city.Unit 6课文2 Yangliuqing --- an Ancient Town in China3-22 S ituated in the western suburbs of Tianjin, Yangliuqing, an ancient town, is 16 kilometers away from downtown. With a history of over one thousand years, it is the business and cultural center of Xiqing District.Three rivers, namely Southern Canal, Ziya River and Daqing River, flow through Yangliuqing. The town is famed for its nice people, beautiful scenery, prosperous business and well-developed culture. Though lying in Northern China, its beauty stands up against those delicate landscapes of the south.1-23 Among all the scenic spots located in Yangliuqing, three are the most exquisite: the Grand Canal that goes from Beijing to Hangzhou, Shi Family Courtyard and Yangliuqing Square. Like a silver chain, the Grand Canal travels through the pictorial scenery such as the Shi Family Courtyard, the New such as the Shi Family Courtyard, the New Year Paintings Museum, the Wenchang Pavilion and buildings in Ming and Qing styles. Together they show a great colorful folk lifestyle there.3-24 The Shi Family Courtyard is in the central part of Yangliuqing Town.

The courtyard covers an area of over 6000 square meters, including 12 quadrangle courtyards with over 200 folk houses, and a few additional elegant gardens. It is called “the first mansion in North China” because of its unique architectural style and exquisite brick carving technique. It now serves as Yangliuqing Folk Customs Museum with a large collection of folk art pieces.3-25Yangliuqing is also regarded as the cradle of the famous New Year Woodblock Printed Pictures, which is one of the three famous New Year Pictures in China.

Unit 1如何快速适应大学生活当你第一次进入大学的时候，你会发现，大学生活和高中生活有很大区别。

在高中，我们总是依靠家长和老师帮助我们解决各种困难问题。

然而在大学，我们只能依靠自己。

除此以外，我们必须学会如何与同学、室友和睦相处。

几乎每个大学新生都经历过不同程度的紧张和焦虑情绪。

但是不用担心，现在给你一些建议，希望能帮助你尽快适应大学生活。

1、记住，不是只有你有这种情况。

你宿舍的每个人都有同样的情况。

和他们说说你的恐惧和焦虑。

他们可能也有同样的感觉，并且很乐意向你倾诉他们的感觉。

、走出你的宿舍。

上大学的好处在于你可以与新的面孔一起重新开始生活。

他们不会知道你的过去，他们只会知道你希望他们知道的事情。

因此，尝试新的事物，不要害怕，试着展现新的个性。

弄清楚真正的自己，弄清楚你希望成为什么样的人，这是最佳的时机。

3、制定详细的学习计划。

学习计划应该包括：你的短期目标，每个阶段要阅读什么书籍，参加哪些课外活动，以及你每天的活动安排。

这会有助于你充分利用业余时间。

4、不要忘记享受大学生活！在大学里，要过得愉快，结交新朋友，和学习新知识。

而寄宿就是一个很好的方式。

和朋友们消磨时间，和学习伙伴一起努力备考。

做疯狂的事情，照相留念，分享有趣的故事----快活地渡过。

你只年轻一次！记住，你的朋友和你的父母都离你不远，只要你打一个电话就行。

记住，每个人的适应时间都是不同的。

从容以对，但最重要的是，学有所成。

Unit 2关于自己嗨，大家好！欢迎访问我的博客。

首先让我介绍一下我自己。

我18岁，男。

来自中国南方的一个小村子。

村子虽小，但很美丽。

它位于一条小河。

那里空气很新鲜, 水是如此清澈,你可以看到很多的鱼在河里游泳。

村子周围是稻田。

这就是众所周知的“鱼米之乡”。

现在, 我在中国南方职业技术学院学习计算机科学。

毕业后我想成为一名计算机工程师。

我喜欢我的大学生活。

它与高中生活十分不同。

下课后你都是靠自己了。

没有人告诉你该做什么。

Text A How they make you buyBe careful when you go into a supermarket! A lot of clever people are good at making you buy more – and more.It’s 3 o’clock on a Saturday afternoon. You go to a supermarket to buy a few things you need: just coffee, milk and eggs. You take a trolley and that’s your first mistake. Now you won’t feel the weight of the things you buy, so you might buy more. And the trolley is so big and deep!You go into the store and first you pass beautiful flowers and plants. Then you see the fruit and vegetables. Those red, green and yellow peppers look so delicious and fresh. And they’re on special offer. Perhaps you’ll take just one packet. And then you come to the bread counter. Oh, that fresh bread smells so good! Much better than yesterday’s bread at home. Perhaps you’ll just buy ... And so it goes on.Notes from the marketing managers1Displays of fruit, vegetables and flowers just inside a store are common.They give customers a feeling of healthy living before they reach the other ordinary items.2Special offers near the entrance help shoppers start shopping. And when the first item is in the trolley, there will soon be more.3The store is often painted green. This gives shoppers that natural feeling.Bakery, fish and delicatessen counters also offer fresh, healthy goods.4Many large supermarkets now sell other goods, for example clothes and electrical products.5Milk, eggs or butter are always at the back of the shop. So shoppers must pass many things that are nice but that they don’t really need.6Big brand names and items like precooked meals are very profitable, so they are often clearly displayed to get the customer’s attention.7Magazines and sweets are at the checkouts where shoppers have to wait.And that is where they see the information about the other services the supermarket offers such as cheap travels or mobile phones.8Paying with the supermarket’s own credit card is so easy. Buy now, pay later. A lot of supermarkets give you loyalty cards. You can collect points and with the points you can get some money back or free gifts. So please come back very soon.译文：被动消费步入大型超市时，千万不能大意！很多精明狡诈的人非常善于让你买买买。

高职国际进阶英语综合教程1 unit1课文原文和译文Text AYou are hereRead the text and find out why Max went the wrong way.It was easy for Max to get to Liverpool Station. He enjoyed the 300-mile train journey through the countryside, but now came the difficult bit. How could he find the youth hostel? The guidebook said it was in an old warehouse down by the docks. The address was Tabley Street with the postcode L18EE.He asked at the tourist information office opposite the station. The woman behind the counter gave him a map of the city and said it was only a 10-minute walk. He could see the station on the map and River Mersey with the docks. It looked easy enough to find. He started to walk, but then it began to rain.After half an hour he decided to ask somebody for directions. He stopped a man in the street.“Excuse me, can you tell me the way to the youth hostel?”But the man answered, “Sorry, I’m a stranger here myself.”He then asked a policeman, “Excuse me, do you know where the youth hostel is?”“Well, the easiest way is if you go to the station. It is only a 10-minute walk from there. Ah, you have a map. Let’s see. We are here. The railway station is there on the corner of Station Road and Main Street. Go straight down Station Road past the cinema. Then you will come to a crossing with traffic lights. Turn left at the traffic lights and straight on at the roundabout. The youth hostel is in front of you. You really can’t miss it.”“Thanks a lot for your help.”“Don’t mention it,” said the policeman.Max looked at the map and realised that he had looked at it upside down. He hadn’t turned left at the traffic lights; he had turned right! And instead of going straight on at the roundabout, he had turned left.A very wet Max went back to the station and this time he was very careful not to take a wrong way. Five minutes later he was standing in front of the youth hostel.课文译文麦克斯轻而易举就到了利物浦车站。

Unit 1 Text A College—A Transition Point in My Life1 When I first entered college as a freshman, I was afraid that I was not able to do well in my studies. I was afraid of being off by myself, away from my family for the first time. Here I was surrounded by people I did not know and who did not know me. I would have to make friends with them and perhaps also compete with them for grades in courses I would take. Were they smarter than I was? Could I keep up with them? Would they accept me?2 I soon learned that my life was now up to me. I had to set a study program if I wanted to succeed in my courses. I had to regulate the time I spent studying and the time I spent socializing. I had to decide when to go to bed, when and what to eat, when and what to drink, and with whom to be friendly. These questions I had to answer for myself.3 At first, life was a bit difficult. I made mistakes in how I used my time. I spent too much time making friends. I also made some mistakes in how I chose my first friends in college.4 Shortly, however, I had my life under control. I managed to go to class on time, do my first assignments and hand them in, and pass my first exams with fairly good grades. In addition, I made a few friends with whom I felt comfortable and with whom I could share my fears. I set up a routine that was really my own — a routine that met my needs.5 As a result, I began to look upon myself from a different perspective. I began to see myself as a person responsible for myself and responsible for my friends and family. It felt good to make my own decisions and see those decisions turn out to be wise ones. I guess that this is all part of what people call “growing up.”6 What did life have in store for me? At that stage in my life, I really was not certain whereI would ultimately go in life and what I would do with the years ahead of me. But I knew that I would be able to handle what was ahead because I had successfully jumped this important hurdle in my life: I had made the transition from a person dependent on my family for emotional support to a person who was responsible for myself.大学——我一生中的转折点作为一名一年级新生初进大学时，我害怕自己在学业上搞不好。
