沟通:没问题吗?
昨天,我和另一个学生代表我们大学的学生会去首都国际机场迎接今年的国际学生。他们是来北京大学学习的。我们会先带他们去宿舍,然后去学生餐厅。等了半个小时后，他们的航班到了,我看见几个年轻人进入等候区，好奇地环顾四周。观察了他们一分钟后, 我便过去和他们打招呼。
第一个到达的是来自哥伦比亚的托尼·加西亚。紧接着是来自英国的朱丽.亚史密斯。在与他们碰面并介绍他们彼此认识后,我（对看到的情景）感到很吃惊。托尼走近朱莉娅,摸了摸她的肩膀，并亲吻了她的脸颊! 她后退了几步，看上去有些吃惊,她举起双手,仿佛在自卫。我猜想这里可能有个大的误会。然后日本的永田明笑着走了进来,同时来的还有来自加拿大的乔治.库克。我为他们作了介绍后,乔治把手伸向了这位日本学生。然而,就在那时田永明鞠了一躬，所以他的鼻子碰到了乔治伸过来的手。他们互相道歉——这又是一个文化上的误会!
另一个国际学生艾哈迈德·阿齐兹,来自约旦。我们昨天见面，我作自我介绍的时候,他靠我很近。我往后退一点,但他又走向前问了我一个问题,然后同我握手。当来自法国来的达琳.库隆从门口匆忙进来时,她认出了托尼·加西亚微笑的面孔。他们握了握手,然后在对方的面颊上吻了两下,因为法国成年人见到熟人就是这样做的。相反，艾哈迈德阿齐兹只是朝女孩子们点了点头。来自中东或其他一些穆斯林国家的男士在谈话时通常站得离其他男士很近，但一般不会和女士接触。
随着认识的国际朋友越来越多,我也了解到更多不同文化背景下的“身体语言”。各种文化背景下人们互致问候的方式不尽相同,相互接触和相互所感到舒适的程度也并不一样。用口头语言交流的同时,人们还使用不出声的语言，通过身体间的距离、动作或姿势来表达他们的感情。比如, 英国人通常不会站在离别人很近的地方，也不会一见面就（用身体）触碰陌生人。不过,来自西班牙、意大利或南美国家的人会站在离别人很近的地方，而且更可能（用身体）接触对方。现在世界上大多数人见面要互握手问候,但有些文化（背景的人）会使用另外一些寒暄方式。比如日本就更喜欢鞠躬。
这些行为都无所谓好坏,只不过是文化发展的不同方式而已。然而,我发现肢体语言的文化风俗是多元的——同一种（民族）文化中也并非所有成员的行为都一样。但总的来说,在当今文化交融的世界，学习不同国家的习俗肯定能帮助我们避免交往中的困难。

He and a colleague were to spend two years there teaching English at a teacher training college. They were the only foreigners in the town. The first semester finished at the end of January and they had four weeks off f or the Spring Festival. They could go anywhere they wished. They decided to take a boat downstream. We decided to buy tickets for the Jiangyou boat. 我们打算买到“江油号”的船票。 Our colleagues said, “You shouldn’t go on those ships. They are very crowded. They are mainly for goods and people trading along the river. 同事们说：“你们不要坐那种船。它们太拥挤，主要是用来运货的。乘客多事沿江做生意的人。 They don’t stop at the temples and there won’t be any other foreigners.” That sounded fine to me. 那些船不停靠庙宇，也不会有别的外国游人乘坐。”我觉得听起来还不错。 We just had to show our passports and they let us get on the boat.我们出示护照后边上了船。 We left the docks on a beautiful afternoon. The sun was shining brightly as we sailed downstream through a hilly region. 在一个美丽的午后，我们离开码头。当我们顺流而下穿过山区的时候，阳光很灿烂。 Men rode bamboo rafts along the river’s edge and coal boats went past. 男人们乘坐着江边的竹筏，运煤的小船来来往往。 As the sun set we docked at Fengdu. We could see the sun setting behind the white pagoda. It was beautiful. 太阳落山时，我们的船在丰都靠岸。我们目睹太阳在白塔后西沉，美丽极了。 We slept through the first gorge, which is called the Qutang Gorge. 穿过长江第一峡——翟塘峡时，我们正在睡梦中。 The gorge narrows to 350 feet as the river rushes through the tow-mile-high mountains. 江水在两英里高峰峦间奔流，峡谷狭窄处只有350英尺。 “Oh, well,” my friend said, “at least we have two more left.”我朋友说；“至少我们还能看见另外两个峡谷”。 At Wushan we made a detour up the Daning River to see some of the smaller gorges. 船到巫山时，我们绕道溯游大宁河，观赏了几处小峡谷。 The next day we went through the ig gorges on the Yangtze River. It was a lovely morning as we went through the Wu Gorge. 第二天，我们经过了长江的大峡谷。在一个美丽的上午轮船驶过巫峡。 We passed the Xiang River, home of Qu Yuan, the 3rd century BC poet. There was so much history long the Yangtze River. 我们还经过了湘江，那是公元前三世纪一位诗人——屈原的家乡。 Every rock looked like a person or animal, every stream that joined the great river carried its legends, every hill was heavy with the past. 长江有太多的历史。块块巨石形象各异，条条支流都流淌着传说，座座小山承载着过往。 As we came out of the third gorge, the Xiling Gorge, we sailed into the construction site of the dam. 穿过长江三峡+西陵峡后，轮船驶入大坝建设处的江面。 All the passengers came on deck. We took pictures and pointed at the site, but we weren’t allowed to get off the boat. 所有乘客都上了甲板，大家拍照片，对着工地指指点点，但不可以下船。 The Chinese flag was blowing in the wind. On a distant mountain was a sign in 20-foot characters. “Build the Three Gorges Dam, Exploit the Yangtze River,” it said. 五星红旗在风中飘扬着。远山上写着英尺大的汉子“建造长江大坝，开发长江资源”。
人教版高中英语必修四课文翻译 第一单元：非洲野生动物研究者 清晨5点45分，太阳刚从东非的贡贝国家公园的上空升起，我们一行人准备按照简研究黑猩猩的方法去森林里拜访它们。简研究这些黑猩猩家族已经很多年了，她帮助人们了解黑猩猩跟人类的行为是多么的相似。我们当天的首项任务就是观察黑猩猩一家是如何醒来的。这意味着我们要返回前一天晚上我们离开黑猩猩一家睡觉的大树旁。大家坐在树荫下等待着，这时候猩猩们睡醒了，准备离开。然后这群黑猩猩向森林深处漫步而去，我们尾随其后。在大部分时间里，黑猩猩或相互喂食，或彼此擦身，这在它们的家庭里是表示爱的方式。简预先提醒我们，到下午的时候我们就会又脏又累。她说对了。不过到傍晚时分我们觉得这一切都是值得的。我们看到黑猩猩妈妈跟她的幼子们在树上玩耍，后来看见它们晚上一切回窝里睡觉了。我明白了猩猩家庭成员之间的联系像人类家庭一样紧密。 在简之前没有人完全了解黑猩猩的行为。她花了多年的时间来观察并记录黑猩猩的日常生活。从孩提时代起，简就想在动物生活的环境中研究它们。但是，这不是一件简单的事。当她1960年最初来到贡贝时，对女性来说，住进大森林还是很稀罕的事情。她母亲头几个月来帮过她的忙，这才使她得以开始自己的计划。她的工作改变了人们对黑猩猩的看法。比方说，她的一个重要发现是黑猩猩猎食动物。而在此之前，人们一直认为黑猩猩只吃水果和坚果。她曾经亲眼看到过一群黑猩猩捕杀一只猴子，然后把它吃掉。她还发现了黑猩猩之间是如何交流的，而她对黑猩猩肢体语言的研究帮助她勾勒出黑猩猩的社会体系。 40年来，简古道尔一直在呼吁世人了解并尊重这些动物的生活。她主张应该让野生动物留在野外生活，而不能用于娱乐或广告。她还为黑猩猩建起了可以安全生活的保护区。她的生活是忙忙碌碌的，然而，正如她所说的：“我一旦停下来，所有的一切都会涌上心头。我就会想起实验室的黑猩猩，太可怕了。每当我看着野生黑猩猩时，这个念头总是萦绕着我。我会对自己说：‘难道它们不幸运吗？’然后我就想起那些没有任何过错却被关在笼子里的小黑猩猩。一旦你看到这些，你就永远不会忘记……” 简已经得到了她想要得到的一切：在动物的栖息地工作；获得博士学位；还向世人证明女人和男人一样也能在森林里生活。她激励着人们为妇女们的成就而欢呼喝彩。
整篇文章按照时间顺序描写了1976年发生在唐山的大地震，全文可以分成三个部分：第一部分为第一段，主要描述地震前夕，唐山地区发生的一系列反常的现象，这些都是地震前的预兆，可惜在当时并没有引起人们的注意和警觉；第二部分为第二、三段，主要讲20世纪最大的一场地震就在唐山市发生了，短短15秒钟的地震就几乎将整个城市夷为平地，伤亡人数达到40多万，幸存者感到悲哀的同时又产生了惊恐和不安；第三部分为第四段，主要讲地震后，解放军的救援和全国各地的支援使得被地震摧毁的城市又开始得以复苏。理清文章的结构后，请回答以下问题： ①How do you understand the title “A Night the Earth Didn’t Sleep”? Could you explain it in your own words? ②What were the signs of a coming disaster? ③What happened to the city when the earthquake struck? ④How were the survivors helped?

Lesson 1 安格斯*伊德莱采访前百万富翁查尔斯雷时。查尔斯说：‘谁想当百万符文呢？我不想很多人一心想成为百万富翁。他们花一半的时间追求致富的方法。另一半的时间则在琢磨一旦富裕起来要做些什么。但是，是否所有的百万富翁真正得到了他们要实现的目标前所想的幸福呢、其实，有些人成为百万富翁后还有其他的烦恼———他们拼命的到的财富，怎样拼命以确保不在失去这些财富。 但是也有人把自己的百万资产置于一边，选择不同的人生的路，查二斯就是这样的一个人。 16年前，查尔斯是大学教授，住着一有六个卧室的房子，有着百万的资产，而现在住的则是小宿舍的房间，家具都是二手的，没有任何的迹象表明查尔斯是个富人没房间外有个小花园，花园里种着几个果树，查尔斯自己种植蔬菜和花，衣服和家具的用品都是从慈善点买的。 但是查尔斯喜欢折中改变。查尔斯对这样的富人的生活方式感到高兴。他不在想做在许多人一无所有的情况下自己拥有一切的那种人，他选择了了把自己的钱财送给别人，他说这样会给他带来快乐。 查尔斯说：几年前，我曾经是个百万富翁，但是我意识到世界上还有许多的忍受疾饿的穷人。因此他把所有的钱财捐给了慈善机构，当只剩下两千美元的时候，他将小额的纸币散发给当地的贫困街区的穷人，难道他真的举得自己像圣诞老人吗？查尔斯说这么做具有乐趣。 查尔斯相信很多人盼望着挣一大笔钱解除烦恼，然而，大多数的人根本没有挣多那么多的钱，查尔斯*格雷决定退出富人网，他发现拥有少量的钱会给人自由，难道真的没有什么让他依旧怀念的吗？查尔斯答道：没有，我现在更快乐了。什么也不可能在回到富人的行列——决不可能。 Lesson 3 五元钱能做什么？或许你觉得做不了什么，你如果对买包糖果或甜点不感兴趣的话，买课树怎样？确切的说，一棵树在黄河岸迹的树。 每年，大约有16亿吨泥土流入黄河——这条中国国第二大河流，这些泥土中含有保持该大自然平衡的物质，经年累月，大量的泥土被冲走，导致黄河两岸严重的水土流失，在山西省有些地区，折中水土流失几乎会掉了所有的土地，还迫使当地的农民迁移到其他地区去控制黄河水土流失是一项巨大的工程，很多人认为这项工作最好靠政府或是国际组织承担，你或许会赞同这样的观点，若真这样想的话，现在到了你重新考虑的时候了。 事实上，你才是阻止黄河水土流失最重要的人物，你知道你的五元钱的重要性吗？首先，你可以用五元钱买一棵树，而这棵树可以使泥土不流失，在肥沃的土地上，当地农民可以种庄稼陌生，农民会用他们种的庄稼赚到钱购买所需物品或服务，这有助于发展地区经济。 还是你不理解你得五元钱有如此大的作用吧？那么，看看下面的事实吧：自1997年期，一项植树计划已使内蒙古就成沙流变成了绿色家园，世界各地的人前来这里观赏这一伟大的成就，另外，这项规划的成功大大的改变了当地人民的生活，试想一下，这一切就是始于五元钱。 所以，下次当你的口袋里有五元钱时，仔细想想该怎么花，情记住，你可以用它买树，为了我们的祖国人民一及你自己创造绿色的未来。 所以，下次当你口袋里再有五元钱时，仔细想想该怎么花。请记住，你可以用它买树，为了我们的祖国，为人民以及你自己创造绿色的未来 Lesson 4 无线耳机
必修4 Unit 1 A STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE It is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Following Jane's way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family. Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and recording their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. However, this was not easy. When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system. For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. She is leading a busy life but she says: "Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, 'Aren't they lucky?" And then I think about small chimps in cages

Unit 4 A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN’T SLEEP Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei. For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell. Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them. A smelly gas came out of the fields looking for places to hide. Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds. At about 3:00 am on July 28, 1976, some people saw bright lights in the sky. The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky. In the city, the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst. But the one million people of the city, who thought little of these events, were asleep as usual that night. At 3:42 am everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world was at an end! Eleven kilometres directly below the city one of the greatest earthquakes of the 20th century had begun. It was felt in Beijing, which is more than two hundred kilometres away. One-third of the nation felt it. A huge crack that was eight kilometres long and thirty metres wide cut across houses, roads and canals. Steam burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins. The sufferings of the people was extreme. Two-thirds of them died or were injured during the earthquake. The number of people who were killed or seriously injured reached more than 400,000. But how could the survivors believe it was natural? Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed. All of the city’s hospital, 75％of its factories and buildings and 90％of its homes were gone. Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves. No wind, however, could blow them away. Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for travelling. The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel. Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again. Half a million pigs and millions of chickens were dead. Sand now filled the wells instead of water. People were shocked. Then, later that afternoon, another big quake which was almost as strong as the first one shook Tangshan. Water, food, and electricity were hard to get. People began to wonder how long the disaster would last. All hope was not lost. Soon after the quakes, the army sent 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers. Hundreds of thousands of people were helped. The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead. To the north of the city, most of the 10,000 miners were rescued from the coal mines there. Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed. Fresh water was taken to the city by train, truck and plane. Slowly, the city began to breathe again.
