Education

Rationale

To introduce the theme and content of the unit

and set and discuss the learning objectives

Task

q Introduce the theme of education. Use pictures to check understanding or pre-teach primary

school, secondary school, uniform, subject,

university. Check pronunciation. Practise chorally as necessary.

q In pairs or groups encourage learners to discuss educational experience in the UK.

q Use the pictures and questions to elicit

experiences and knowledge of UK education

system via children, friends, relatives or own

experience.

q Focus on local area only.

q Elicit names and categories of local educational places.

q For suggestions on working with the objectives, see the Introduction to the Teacher’s Notes. Page 2

UK education system

Rationale

To set the context of the unit; to understand a chronological text; to introduce must and must not for obligation

Activity A Reading about

education in the UK Pre-task activity

q Use the pictures to introduce the Hamed family.

This family is used throughout the unit. Elicit

where learners could find information about

education in the UK, e.g. Job Centres, Adult

Education Centres, the Internet.

Task

q Learners work out meaning of compulsory from the context. Explain good learning strategy to

try to guess word from context.

q Second reading. Encourage learners to check answers with a partner and then check answers

as a group. q Elicit reasons for answers.

q Reinforce compulsory. Elicit different rules using must.

Differentiation

q Before reading text ask learners to underline unknown words. Pool knowledge, ask others for meaning. Write words on board and check

understanding.

q Ask learners to predict content by asking questions, e.g.:

When do children start school? What kind of things can they do before they start school? How many

days do they go to school? When does the school year begin/end?

q Then read each paragraph aloud with the learners following in their books.

Extension

q In pairs or nationality groups, learners interview each other to find out about the education

system in their countries.

An interview at school

Materials

q Audio – an interview at a school

q Photocopiable resource – application forms Rationale

To prepare for interviews; to practise asking for information and clarification; to use have to for asking about rules

Activity A Listening: asking for and

giving information Pre-task activity

q Set scene. Elicit any interview experiences to prepare for school interviews. Put suggestions

on the board.

Task

q Learners work in pairs to predict questions in task 1. Encourage them to use the answers in

the speech bubbles to help work out the

questions. Pair less confident learners with more confident ones. Collect suggestions and write up. q Play the audio, stopping to allow learners to compare their predictions with the actual

questions. Correct any mistakes, e.g. word

order.

q Elicit what Abdullah didn’t understand. Then play that part of the recording again, pausing so learners can predict and then hear the words he uses to ask for clarification, i.e. I’m sorry, my

favourite subjects?Demonstrate intonation and

drill if necessary.

q In task 4 the learners predict questions the Hamed family will ask in the second part of the interview. To get them started write up Mrs

Bennett’s replies in speech bubbles. Yes,

everybody wears school uniform. Yes, he can, but

we prefer children to wear normal shoes. Yes, the

school thinks that homework’s very important.

q Play the second part of the interview to check understanding and predictions. Elicit Mrs

Hamed’s questions.

q Focus on the use of have to for asking about rules. Yes, does Abdullah have to wear a uniform?

Do I have to do homework?

Differentiation

q Less confident learners can follow the audio script to pick out the questions, or the questions can be written up on the board and rehearsed

before playing the audio again. Be prepared to

play the audio as often as necessary, pausing so that the learners can hear the questions.

Extension

q Give learners time to think of other questions to ask about school rules using have to and can.

q Put them in pairs to take turns practising asking questions and asking for clarification with

correct intonation.

Activity B Speaking: a school

interview

q Pair learners and explain task. Learner A works in the school. Learner B is a relative of the child

going to school. Give out photocopied form

(Teacher’s Notes) to learner A.

q Allow time for A to prepare questions and B to complete the information about the child.

Learners use their lists of questions from tasks 1 and 4.

q Learners role play the interview. Monitor.

q Learners swap roles.Differentiation

q Less confident learners can work with a model conversation on the board. Build it up with

them line by line.

School rules

Rationale

To show that pictures can help to identify information and rules

Materials

q Computers with Internet connection and Word for Windows

q If no computers, poster paper and a supply of different coloured markers

Activity A Reading: rules

Pre-task activity

q Elicit vocabulary on time, long earrings, shout, leave.

Task

q Ask learners to work in pairs and encourage them to discuss the meaning of the pictures.

Monitor.

q Learners can do the matching exercise in task 2 individually or in pairs. Whole class feedback.

q Focus on positive (must do) and negative (must not do) for rules.

q Reinforce compulsory, no choice.

q Point out that when we speak we usually use the contraction mustn’t. Use negative rules in task 2 to demonstrate, and ask learners to practise the pronunciation.

q Set up task 3 as a class discussion. Encourage learners to use their own experiences. Ask about rules that affect their life now. Differentiation

q Put rules on OHT and read each rule aloud, encouraging learners to follow as you read.

q Learners then match each rule to one of the pictures.

Extension

q Divide class into two groups. Put up some topic for rules, e.g. sharing a flat, attending a course, travelling by bus. Give the groups five minutes

to write a list of all the rules they can think of.

One learner per group writes. The group with

the most rules wins.

q Alternatively, divide the class into two groups, each group calling out rules. Write rules from

each group on the board in different colours.

Again set time limit, the group with the most

rules wins.

q Learners look at websites of local education places for rules.

q In groups, using Word or Wordpad and clipart, ask learners to make a poster of their school

rules, using drawings etc.

Tour of the library

Materials

q Audio – Tour of the library

q Pictures/photos of library to elicit vocabulary

q Computer with Internet access

q Two questionnaires, one for website visit, one for library visit

Rationale

To listen for detail and grammatical detail; to practise prepositions of place; to introduce and practise have to

Activity A Listening for prepositions

of place Pre-task activity

q Ask learners if they use a library and how they use it.

q Bring in photos of the interior of a library and use it to elicit different things you find in a

library, e.g. computer, newspapers/magazines,

books, videos, TVs.

q Elicit or pre-teach librarian, enquiry desk, take a book out, return a book.

q Revise prepositions of place. Put up some diagrams on the board or on an OHT, or

demonstrate with objects in the classroom.Task

q Ask learners to look at the plan of the library in task 1 and discuss what it shows.

q Play the audio through once, pausing to give the learners time to label the plan. As necessary, play a second time.

q Learners check answers with a partner. Then whole class feedback.

Activity B Language: using

prepositions of place

q Monitor while learners work in pairs, taking turns to ask and answer questions about the

plan in 1.

q Set task 2 up as pair work and again monitor as learners practise.

q In task 3 learners describe the position of an object and others try to guess what the

object is.

Differentiation

q For less confident learners, put the names of the areas on the board before you play the audio or ask them to work with the script to label the

plan, and then listen to the audio again.

q Prepare some cards with labels for the library, and ask the learners to work in pairs to place the labels on the plan.

q Prepare cards with the names of areas in the library and drill questions.

Extension

q Ask learners to draw a plan of part of a building where they study or work, e.g. the layout of

rooms on a floor of a building, an area of a

library where they can study.

q Before they start elicit some phrases for checking and asking for repetition, e.g. Sorry, what did you say? Sorry, can you repeat that? Did you say on

the right?

q Learners sit back-to-back to describe the plan so that their partner can draw it.

q Look for websites of world famous libraries, e.g.

British Library.

q Learners note interesting details, age of library, oldest book, subjects covered, special exhibitions etc. According to strength, learners write a few sentences about the library or fill in a

questionnaire.

Activity C Language: talking

about rules

q Direct students to the Remember box and example sentences.

q Explain that have to and must?necessary to do something and don’t have to?You can if you

want to, but it’s not necessary.

q Drill pronunciation as necessary.

q Elicit and write up other sentences with must, have to, has to, e.g. about jobs, daily routines

etc.

I must be in work at nine every day.

My daughter has to do her homework before we

have dinner.

I don’t have to have lunch in the canteen, I can go

out and buy a sandwich.

q Put up a conversation plan before the pair-work practice e.g.

A: So what do you do in a typical week at work?

B: In the mornings at 8.30 I have to take the

children to school. I don’t have to collect them

because a friend collects them in the afternoon.

Using a dictionary

and spelling

Materials

q Dictionaries

q Audio – Syllables in words

Rationale

To raise awareness of stress and intonation and show how one word form often has a related word form; to encourage dictionary use and develop spelling strategies

Activity A Reading about a teacher Pre-task activity

q Ask learners about the good teachers they remember and why they thought they were

good. Elicit what qualities teachers need.

Task

q Set pre-reading question – Is Claudette a good teacher? Why?

q Learners read individually. q Feedback with group. Relate back to points they raised in the initial discussion. Discussion may

raise differences in cultural expectation of a

good teacher and the status of education.

q Learners read again and underline words they don’t know. Encourage learners to check these

words in a dictionary.

Activity B Listening: stressing the

right syllable Pre-task activity

q Review syllables.

Task

q Play the audio and ask learners to work in pairs to work out the number of syllables in the

words. Encourage them to say the words aloud, emphasising the different syllables. As necessary, demonstrate qual-if-ied. Monitor.

q Write one or two words from task 2 on the board and demonstrate and mark stressed

syllables.

q Play the audio again, allowing time for the learners to underline the stressed syllables.

Watch for bored= one syllable, no stress. Before taking group feedback, encourage the learners

to check with a partner.

Differentiation

q For less confident learners, read out each of the words, emphasising each syllable, so that

learners can count them easily. If learners have

trouble hearing the stressed syllable, try shifting the stress in some of the words so they can hear how stressing different syllables makes the word sound very different.

Activity C Reading: using

alphabetical order Pre-task activity

q Discuss need for understanding alphabetical order to find words in a dictionary.

Task

q Learners order the words individually or in pairs.

Suggest they number the words first before

writing them in the second column. As you

monitor watch for examinations, example,

explain. Take whole class feedback.

Differentiation

q With learners with a lower level of literacy, set

up as two tasks. First get them to put the words starting with different letters in order, then the

words beginning with ex-. As necessary work

together with the learners to build up the order on the board.

q Put words on a word processor so that learners can cut and paste to put the words in

alphabetical order.

q This type of task can present problems for people with dyslexia. Access for All is a useful

reference for dealing with this type of learning

challenge.

Extension

q Get the learners to work in pairs to put all the words in the two lists in alphabetical order and set a time limit for completion.

Activity D Spelling: verbs and nouns q Allow learners to work through tasks 1 and 2

individually or in pairs. Elicit meanings and get

them to say whether they are nouns or verbs.

q Draw attention to the -ation ending for nouns and ask students to complete the chart in 4.

Whole class feedback. Note what has changed,

e.g. dropping final e to add -ation, e.g. organise

organisation.

q Work with the learners to elicit and put other words with -ation ending on the board.

q Finally check that learners understand all the words they underlined in Activity A, task 1. If

not, assign a word to each student to check in

dictionary. Assign sensitively according to ability. q As you monitor watch for qualify and

qualification.

Differentiation

q Put nouns and verbs on different coloured cards and get learners with less confidence to

physically match them. Drill pronunciation. Page 8

Choosing a course

Materials

q Course guides for local colleges

q Photocopiable resource – information about course

q Audio – Giving opinions

q Computer with Internet access

Rationale

To read and extract information from text; to focus on and practise language of opinion

Activity A Reading about courses

Pre-task activity

q Ask learners what subjects they are studying and what they would like to study. Show course

guides and elicit purpose.

Task

q Set up task 1 in pairs or small groups. Get learners to make a note of one or two ideas

which they can check against when they read

the course descriptions. Elicit full-time and

part-time.

q Give out the course descriptions. With a good group cut them up and get learners with good literacy skills to summarise the information while others listen. After each summary, learners

match the description with the course title. Activity B Listening and speaking:

giving opinions Pre-task activity

q Introduce the Manzis – neighbours of the Hameds – father and mother Italian with slight

accents; son has standard UK accent.

Task

q Encourage the learners to predict which courses might interest each of the Manzi family. Use this to discuss stereotyping, e.g. Women only

interested in hairdressing and childcare?

q First listening. Play the audio, pausing the recording so learners can note down the

courses.

q Before second listening, elicit meaning of opinion, agree and disagree. Put up examples of each on the board. Play the audio, pausing to

elicit phrases. Listen again if necessary.

q Demonstrate stress and intonation when Mrs Hamed says:I don’t think so. Discuss meaning.

Drill if necessary.

Differentiation

q Learners with less developed listening can work with the audio script to identify phrases and

highlight them in the script. Demonstrate

pronunciation and then play the audio again. Activity C Talking about courses

Task

q Before you set up the role play, elicit phrases for asking for opinions, giving opinions and

agreeing and disagreeing.

q Monitor for language of opinion.

Extension

q IT option. Learners find course guides on Internet, preferably local colleges and adult

education centres. Choose a suitable course and write a few sentences about the course and why chosen. Learners without computers look at

course guides from local education centres and find key information, e.g. cost, length, part-

time/full-time etc.

Page 9

Phoning about a course

Materials

q Audio – Phoning about an ESOL course

q Extension activity Prepare cue cards as in ESOL Core Curriculum p 103, third suggestion under Sc/E21a

and intonation Pre-task activity

q Use picture. Elicit feelings and experiences of phoning organisations or people for the first

time.

Task

q Play the audio twice if necessary. Whole class feedback.

q Set up task 2 as a class discussion. Elicit ideas,

e.g. frustrated, irritated, losing confidence. Elicit

conversation 3 where Mr Hamed spoke too

quickly and wasn’t understood. Lead into

strategies for preparing telephone calls, e.g.

before call make notes, practise difficult words, speak slower, take deep breaths, etc. Put ideas

on the board.

q Play the two sample sentences for task 3. Elicit whether intonation goes up or down at end of

sentence. Listen again if necessary. Learners

underline stress and use arrows to show

direction of intonation.

q Listen to all the conversations again. Pause the audio so that learners can mark polite/impolite.

Whole class feedback.

q Monitor intonation during pair-work practice for task 5.

Extension

q Groups of three. Prepare cue cards with questions and statements. Use each question

and statement twice, marking them polite or

impolite. Place cards face down. Take turns to

take a card off the pile. Learner says

question/statement in correct tone. Other two

learners guess whether it is polite or impolite.

Monitor intonation.

Activity B Language: using had to

q Elicit past tense. Then review tense box. Explain positive ?has/have to changes to had to,

negative ?don’t/doesn’t have to changes to

didn’t have to.

q Check understanding of grammar and then get learners to try task 2. Whole class feedback.

Page 10

Past education

Materials

q Dictionaries

q Computer with CALL program, e.g. WIDA Storyboard (optional)

Rationale

To extract chronological information from text; to practise simple and compound sentences; to review basic punctuation

Activity A Reading for information

Pre-task activity

q Set scene.

Task

q Pre-teach or elicit vocabulary. As necessary give out dictionaries and encourage learners to look up words.

q Learners complete dates and details on the time line in task 2 and then check with a partner.

Whole class feedback, teacher builds up

completed time line on the board.

Activity B Language: using time

markers Task

q Present time markers. Elicit and add beneath time line at the correct time points, e.g. after

that, then, next and now.

q Learners add time markers and years to complete the description.

Differentiation

q Put the gapped text on an OHT with the time markers gapped and build up together with

learners before they do the writing. Extension

q Depending on learners’ knowledge, elicit other time markers. Add to the time line on the board and then get learners to write their own

description, using a greater range of time

markers.Page 11

Past education (continued) Activity C Writing: using

punctuation Task

q Learners work in pairs or small groups to work out their own rules, noting them down in the

space. Elicit capitals for start of a sentence, for

proper nouns, subjects etc., for acronyms, e.g.

ESOL.

q Individual work. Then check with a partner before whole class feedback. Differentiation

q With learners with weaker literacy, put the first sentences on the board or on OHT and work

together with them to identify problems with

capitals, full stops and commas. The learners can then try the other two individually or in pairs. Extension

q Put well-known acronyms on the board, e.g.

BBC, DVLC, and elicit meanings. Elicit further

examples in English and in learners’ own

languages.

Activity D Writing: using simple and

compound sentences Task

q Allow learners to work this out themselves individually or in pairs. Monitor and support any with difficulties. Whole class feedback.

Activity E Writing about your

previous education Task

q Encourage learners to prepare own time line first. q Learners write about previous education either in UK or own countries. Learners complete

sentences. Monitor and encourage compound

sentences. Be firm about punctuation.

Extension

q IT Option – Rewrite Mr Hamed’s information in one or two paragraphs, using and and but to

form compound sentences. Enter this on a CALL program, e.g. WIDA Storyboard. Learners enter words until they have the full text.

q If access to computers is not possible, rewrite Mr Hamed’s text, using and and but to form

compound sentences. Make this a gap-fill

exercise, remove and, but and time markers. Page 12 and 13

Discussing courses

Materials

q Extension task

q Several copies of newspapers with course advertisements

q Course advertisements cut from local

newspapers, make several copies

q Before discussion, elicit phrases for asking for and giving opinions, agreeing and disagreeing.

Write the categories on the board. Then hand

out sets of cards with discussion phrases and get students to categorise them.

Task

q Set up task 1. Groups of 3 or 4 discuss and make majority decision about each person.q Monitor discussion skills, e.g. listening to each other, using discussion language, giving reasons for their choices.

Extension 1

q Re-arrange groups. Give learners newspapers.

Ask them to find advertised courses. Learners

discuss their feelings about courses and give

reasons why they would like to/wouldn’t like to go on a course. Ask: Who would the courses suit?

Extension 2

q Divide into two groups.

q Group A are careers advisors. Give group A copies of advertised courses. They discuss what type of person each course would interest.

q Group B are looking for courses. Each student in the group chooses a different role, e.g. a mother with two children working part time wants a

course which will help her unwind, a teenager

who wants to do something which will help him get into Media, etc. (You may have to suggest

roles.)

q Allow 5–10 minutes for group discussions.

Group A learners sit in different locations in the classroom, as careers advisors. Group B learners choose a careers advisor each and go to them in role for advice.

q Pairs have interview and decide best course for student B. Careers advisor gives student B a

copy of the advertisement.

q College brochures

Rationale

To use the skills practised in the unit; to provide evidence of learning for the learner’s portfolio, progress report and ILP review

The project will need careful setting up. See notes on project work in the Introduction to the Teacher’s Notes.

Pre-task activity

q Elicit learners’ own experience of education when they first arrived in UK. Would they have

liked an Information Pack to help them? What

would they put in the pack? Elicit and put all

ideas on the board. Learners use these in their

Information Pack in addition to activities below.

Encourage use of word-processor.

Activity A Education information

q Learners prepare an information pack for people arriving in the UK.

Activity B Write about education

in the UK

q In this activity learners discuss what information is useful and then plan and write a report about education in the UK.

Activity C Prepare questions for

school or college visits

q In this activity learners prepare questions for school/college visits. Encourage learners to think of different ways of presenting their two sets of

questions in the pack, e.g. a written question-

and-answer session, chart etc.

Activity D Discuss rules

q Learners compare education rules in UK with rules in home country. They then make a list a

useful tips about education rules in UK. Activity E Plan future education

q In this group activity learners practise discussion skills. Encourage creative ways of presenting

courses in the pack.

Activity F Fill in forms q Learners complete a college application form.Page 15

Check it

Rationale

To check understanding of some of the learning points in the unit; to identify any difficulties individual learners may have

We shall all have made it to heaven when we possess enough. 当然用傻子、骗子这样的字眼来形容是不合美国的人的风俗习惯的,然后我们似乎确实沉溺于用金钱购买幸福的想法:只要有足够的钱,我们百年后就能上天堂。 3、And at the same time the forces of American commercialism are hugely dedicated to making us deliberately unhappy.

Unit 4 (Para. 1) In the last few centuries, marriage has been connected to romantic love.This kind of package deal is not easy to maintain and indeed many people fail while trying to do so. Nevertheless, most people still pursue this deal. This is another type of paradox associated with marriage. 在过去的几个世纪里,婚姻总是和浪漫的爱情联系起来。这一揽子交易可不容易维护,的确,很多人在试图将婚姻和浪漫的爱情结合起来时失败了。不过,许多人仍然追求婚姻。这是和婚姻相关的另一种自相矛盾的情况。 (Para. 2)Some of the main difficulties of this package deal are the following: (a) in modern society, marriage is no longer unique in fulfilling tasks such as raising children and enhancing one’s status and financial situation,(b) long-term romantic relationships are problematic in that they lack significant changes, which are so meaningful to emotions in general and love in particular, and (c) the greater flexibility of romantic boundaries in modern society make it harder to maintain strict emotional connections and constraints, such as those recommended in marriage. 要实现这一揽子交易,有如下几点主要的困难:1. 在现代社会,婚姻已不是实现像抚养孩子,加强个人地位,及改善经济状况等任务的惟一形式。2. 长期的浪漫关系的问题在于他们缺乏重大变化,而变化对于普遍意义的情感特别是爱情具有重要意义。3.浪漫的界线在现代社会中更加灵活,这就使得那些在婚姻关系中建议的严格的情感联系和限制难以维持。 (Para. 3a) In modern society, most of the penalties for dissolving a marriage have been removed and many of the incentives that marriage offers can be obtained in other social frameworks. 现代社会中,大多数由于结束婚姻关系所受的惩罚已被取消,而婚姻关系提供的许多奖励也能通过其他社会结构获得。 The choice of staying within a marriage depends, therefore, more on the issue of love than on those traditionally unique advantages of marriage, such as raising children and enhancing one’s status and financial situation. 因此,选择继续留在婚姻中更多的是由于爱情而不是婚姻关系具有的那些传统的独特的优势,例如抚养孩子,加强个人地位,及改善经济状况。 (Para. 3b) If a person feels that her present marital relationship prevents her from experiencing genuine love (and from personal development and satisfaction), there is little incentive for her to stay in the marriage. The fact that most divorce cases now cite a lack of love as the reason for seeking to end the marriage indicates the greater importance that love has in contemporary marriages. 如果一个人觉得她目前的婚姻不能使她体验真挚的爱情,以及她的个人发展和内心满足,她就不太有维持婚姻关系的动机了。许多离婚案件现在会用缺少爱情作

Unit4 课文翻译及课后练习答案

Unit4 无子女家庭:违背十万年来的繁衍规律 课文翻译: 二十好几的凯茜、韦恩夫妇结婚已有五年之久,没有孩子。上次凯茜娘家有人问:“你们打算什么时候要孩子,组成一个家庭呢?”她答道:“我们已经是个家庭啦!” 凯茜与韦恩属于决定不要孩子的年轻已婚夫妇群体,其人数正在日益增长。最近一项调查显示在过去的五年中,年龄在25至29岁之间妇女不愿生养的百分比几乎翻了一番,在18至24岁的已婚妇女中几乎增至三倍。在这个似乎大胆反抗生物性和社会性的决定后面隐藏着什么原因呢? 或许最能公开坦陈心曲的无子女夫妇是《婴儿陷阱》一书的作者:埃伦,派克,其夫威廉,一位广告总经理兼全国不生养夫妇协会主席。派克夫妇认为他们和协会均无意反对生儿育女,不过是反对不管人们是否愿意和需要孩子就迫使人们传宗接代的社会压力。 “这是一种生活方式的选择,”埃伦说,“我们选择自由和自愿,清净和闲暇。这也是一个朝哪个方向付出努力的问题——在你自己的小家庭之内或在一个大的社团之中。这一代人面临有关地球生命延续的严重问题以及生命质量的问题。我们的孙辈也许将购票去观赏最后一批红杉或排队去获取氧气配给。有人抱怨在回到有五个孩子的家途中被交通堵塞困住好几个小时,但是他们不能将孩子与交通堵塞联系起来。在一个受到人口过剩一系列后果威胁的世界上,我们正在参与一项事业使膝下无子的生活模式为社会所接受并受世人尊重。太多的孩子作为一种文化强制的后果而呱呱坠地,离婚和虐待儿童的相关统计充分揭露了这一结果。” 埃伦的丈夫补充说:“每位朋友、亲戚、同事不停地给你施加压力,劝你要孩子,说什么‘发现你生活中失去的东西’。好多好多人很晚才发现,所谓他们失去的东西其实是他们完全不适合做的事情。” 埃伦还说:“从抱第一个洋娃娃开始,大到欣赏电视肥皂剧,成年后参加鸡尾酒会,无形之中,总有一种压力要你为人父母。但是让我们来看看养育失败的比率吧,或许天下父母应该视为像当医生一样的专门职业。有些人擅长此道,他们应当生养孩子;有些人一窍不通,他们应该认为他们还有其他的选择。” 专业观察家同意这一看法:很多人生养孩子没有正当的理由,有时候则完全没有理由。男人常常稀里糊涂就当上了父亲,根本就没有作出审慎的选择;对许多妇女来说,怀孕能够成为一种方式来逃避不可解决的冲突,譬如,迅速获得名分,或改进自己的不良形象,以及满足童年时代未曾得到的关注和关爱的需要。 我与许多人类行为领域的专家交谈,探讨为什么那么多年轻夫妇决定不要孩子,他们的看法也是众说纷纭。一位家庭治疗专家把不要孩子的决定描写为“对当今世界形势基本的本能反应”,暗示像动物群居本能那样的东西正在起作用,来应对人口过剩、城市拥挤、环境污染与核战争危险。群居本能促使妇女感到繁殖人口有违心愿,并指引她们去寻找在家庭生活之外实现自我价值的新方式。 不止一位精神病医生暗示,凡是不愿生育的人有都自恋癖——觉得自己心甘情愿迫不得已,为照顾别人与受人照顾这个互相对立的内心冲突自圆其说。有位精神病医生说:“这些人不能容忍照顾孩子的想法,他们没有多余的爱分享给孩子,”并补充道,“你们这是对亘古以来人类繁衍生生不息的离经叛道。”他的另一位同事插话说:“情有可原嘛,我们谁不想为我们的欠缺找理由? 且不论他

Work in corporate America 1 It is not surprising that modern children tend to look blank and dispirited when informed that they will someday have to "go to work and make a living". The problem is that they cannot visualize what work is in corporate America. 2 Not so long ago, when a parent said he was off to work, the child knew very well what was about to happen. His parent was going to make something or fix something. The parent could take his offspring to his place of business and let him watch while he repaired a buggy or built a table. 3 When a child asked, "What kind of work do you do, Daddy?" his father could answer in terms that a child could come to grips with, such as "I fix steam engines" or "I make horse collars". 4 Well, a few fathers still fix steam engines and build tables, but most do not. Nowadays, most fathers sit in glass buildings doing things that are absolutely incomprehensible to children. The answers they give when asked, "What kind of work do you do, Daddy?" are likely to be utterly mystifying to a child. 5 "I sell space." "I do market research." "I am a data processor." "I am in public relations." "I am a systems analyst." Such explanations must seem nonsense to a child. How can he possibly envision anyone analyzing a system or researching a market? 6 Even grown men who do market research have trouble visualizing what a public relations man does with his day, and it is a safe bet that the average systems analyst is as baffled about what a space salesman does at the shop as the average space salesman is about the tools needed to analyze a system. 7 In the common everyday job, nothing is made any more. Things are now made by machines. Very little is repaired. The machines that make things make them in such a fashion that they will quickly fall apart in such a way that repairs will be prohibitively expensive. Thus the buyer is encouraged to throw the thing away and buy a new one. In effect, the machines are making junk. 8 The handful of people remotely associated with these machines can, of course, tell their inquisitive children "Daddy makes junk". Most of the workforce, however, is too remote from junk production to sense any contribution to the industry. What do these people do? 9 Consider the typical 12-story glass building in the typical American city. Nothing is being made in this building and nothing is being repaired, including

博士英语课文翻译Unit4

Unit4 1.The crisis of global poverty has, at long last, been accorded a high priority on the international agenda. This propitious development has sparked a flurry of discussion and research concerning the means for eradicating this debilitating condition from human life. Yet as renewed pledges for action pour in from governments, as long-held theories and conventional approaches fail to quell long-held prejudices, conflicts, and exploitation, a feeling of rudderlessness looms over the global enterprise of poverty eradication. At the same time, a palpable optimism emerges from the attention and momentum generated by the search for solutions to this worldwide challenge. 2.The mechanisms of poverty eradication have long been defined in primarily material terms. Indeed, the central pillar of the international community’s poverty alleviation efforts has been the transfer of financial resources. Approximately $2.3 trillion have been spent on foreign aid over the last five decades.[1] Tragically, the aid, far from ushering in greater self-sufficiency, has often had a detrimental effect on recipient communities: increased dependency on foreign assistance, subservience to externally dictated priorities, misappropriation of funds and decreased pressure for governance reform. In a resolute push for change, the United Nations has sought to expand the mechanisms for assistance and to galvanize support for poverty alleviation through its Millennium Development Goals.[2] 消除贫困的机制,很久以来主要是用物质的术语界定的。事实上,国际社会努力缓解贫困的主要手段是调配资金。在刚刚过去的五十年里,大约2.3万亿美元花在了外援上1。可悲的是,这些援助不但未能帮助受援群体增强自立的能力,反而常常带给受援群体负面影响——增加了他们对外援的依赖、总是屈从于来自外部的指示、挪用资金、减低了政府自身改革的动力。为了坚决推进变革,联合国通过其制定的《千年发展目标》寻求扩展援助的机制,加大对扶贫的支持力度。 3.It is now increasingly acknowledged that such conditions as the marginalization of girls and women,[3] poor governance,[4] ethnic and religious antipathy,[5] environmental degradation[6] and unemployment[7] constitute formidable obstacles to the progress and development of communities. These evidence a deeper crisis—one rooted in the values and attitudes that shape relationships at all levels of society. Viewed from this perspective, poverty can be described as the absence of those ethical, social and material resources needed to develop the moral, intellectual and social capacities of individuals, communities and institutions. Moral reasoning, group decision-making and freedom from racism, for example, are all essential tools for poverty alleviation. Such capacities must shape individual thinking as well as institutional arrangements and policy-making. To be clear, the goal at hand is not only to remove the ills of poverty but to engage the masses of humanity in the construction of a just global order. 4.Individuals and institutions must work in tandem to take up this task. One of the goals of poverty alleviation, then, centers on the individual: he must be helped to reclaim his dignity and sense of self-worth, must be encouraged to gain confidence to improve his condition and strive to realize his potential. Beyond the achievement of personal well-being, he must be nurtured to become a source of social good—of peace, happiness and advantage to those around him. It is at the level of service to others that our humanity achieves its highest expression. The second goal centers on institutions: at every level of society, they must serve as channels through which the talents and energies of individuals can be harnessed in service to humanity. Resources that help to develop this individual and institutional capacity represent a true source of wealth to the community. 5.Much like the physical principles that govern the material world, the social world, too, is governed by moral principles, which underlie the functioning of an ordered society. Principles such as gender equality,[8] trustworthiness,[9] access to education, human rights and freedom of religion,[10] for example, tend to correlate positively with measures of socioeconomic well-being and stability. The interrelatedness of challenges stemming from poverty calls for the articulation of principles capable of guiding analysis, decision-making and the
