新视野大学英语读写教程第二册（第二版）参考答案Unit 1 第一单元SECTION APre-reading ActivitiesTime is the same in all places, but people’s relationship with time is different from country to country. In the United States, time is a real, precious resource, and every minute counts. People here are always in a rush and under pressure. There are no short conversations or small exchanges with strangers because people think it is a waste of time. Does this sound like your country? If it does not, and if you don’t think you would like such a place, you would most likely be unhappy in the United States, where doing things quickly is seen as a skill.1. Time.2. Short conversations or small exchanges with strangers.Comprehension of the TextExerciseⅠThe exact form of the answers is open, but the general idea is:1. The attitude is that if one is not moving ahead, he is falling behind.2. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. People budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; they also charge for it. They do this because time is a precious resource.3. Everyone is in a rush — often under pressure. In the writer’s eyes, city people always appear to be burying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping.4. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain appropriate point.5. This is because Americans generally assess and enquire about their visitors professionally rather than socially. They start talking business very quickly. Time is always ticking in their inner ear.6. Americans produce a steady flow of labor-saving devices: they communicate rapidly through faxes, phone calls or emails rather than through personal contacts.7. The impersonality of electronic communication has little or no relation to the significance of the matter at hand.8. It is taken as a sign of skillfulness or being competent to solve a problem or fulfill a job with speed in the U.S.VocabularyExercise Ⅲ1. charge2. convention3. efficient4. obtain5. competent6. assessing7. fulfill8. conducting9. consequently 10. significance Exercise Ⅳ1. behind2. at3. in4. out5. to6. to7. in8. with9. but 10. for ExerciseⅤ1.

The sight of her daughter smoking sends the author into a great pain and meanwhile reminds her of her father, a cigarette addict, who died from pneumonia. She feels deeply hurt to watch, in no position to help, many people like her daughter follow in her f ather’s steps, so she appeals to all smokers to quit smoking.The passage consists of 8 paragraphs and roughly falls into 3 parts in accordance with the stories the author presents: the story of her daughter, the story of her father and her appeal to smokers.Part IThe author presents what she sees in respect to her daughter and how she feels as a mother by Description.[Para. 1] The author feels terrible and wants to weep when seeing her daughter smoke.Part IIThe author recalls the experiences of her smoking father by employing such devices as Time Sequence and Cause and Effect.[Para. 2 –5] Hooked by the illusion about smoking, the author’s father, like many other people, got into the bad habit of smoking, only to die from it.Part IIIThe author adopts the device of Quotation-citing in this part to enhance the power of her appeal to all the families to prevent themselves from suffering the same tragedy as her family did and cherish their lives.[Para. 6－8] Feeling extremely sorry for her daughter and those in Third World countries who also drag away like chimneys, the author appeals to all people to give up smoking.Part One is Para. 1. It gives a vivid description of how the daughter smokes and how the author feels as a mother.Part Two is composed of the next 4 paragraphs, from Para. 2 to Para. 5, all of which the author devotes to a vivid recollection of her father’s sad fate due to his addiction to smoking.Part Three consists of the last 3 paragraphs, from Para. 6 to Para. 8. In this part, the author, by citing her own experience, appeals earnestly to smokers to give up smoking.。

Group talk and interactionV. Teaching Procedures(2 periods)Lead-in Review the main idea of the main reading, and ask students to answer some questions.Q1: How time is treated in China? What is the difference with that in the USA?In China, people tend to spare some time to be stay together with their families or enjoy a peaceful time or relax themselves. But in USA, Time is treated as if it were something almost real.People budget it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; they also charge for it. They do this because time is a precious resource. Everyone is in a rush—often under pressure City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping.Q2: What is culture shock?Culture shock is the personal disorientation a person may feel when experiencing an unfamiliar way of life due to immigration or a visit to a new country, a move between social environments, or simply travel to another type of life.The most common problems include: information overload, language barrier,generation gap, technology gap, skill interdependence,formulation dependency, homesickness (cultural), infinite regress (homesickness), boredom (job dependency), response ability (cultural skill set). There is no true way to entirely prevent culture shock, as individuals in any society are personally affected by cultural contrasts differently.Q3. How do Americans view time?Time is treated by Americans as if it were something almost real. People budget it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; they also charge for it. They do this because time is a precious resource.Everyone is in a rush—often under pressure City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping.Activity 1 Analyzing the passage from the words level, sentense level and discourse level.Background informationCultural differences: Students and teachers need to be aware that the ethnocentric attitudes ofwriters are precisely the way cultural conflict is encouraged. Why is understanding a culturealways the others’ responsibility? Is it not possible that each culture could be made awa re ofdifferent conventions? Both sides must work at rising above cultural differences and be willing tocompromise… and, in both cases, most likely neither side has access to the cultural conventionsof the other so blaming is not the answer.Language Points:Paragraph 1：1. Americans believe no one stands still. (Para. 1)Meaning: Americans believe no one keeps motionless; everyone moves.Here "stand" means "keep or stay in a particular position or state". In this sense, "stand" is followed by adjectives. More examples:The room stands idle. 这房间闲置着。

They had been together for two years and had learned to understand and respect each other. Recently they decided to marry and they told the news to Gail’s parents. To their surprise, they met with some resistance. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be mar rying for the wrong reasons and advised her daughter to wait. Gail’s father also opposed the marriage because he thought that Mark wasmarrying his daughter so that he could remain in the United States. Such concerns are understandable.

For some it may simply because they come across a name that they feel is “it”. But for most people it may be a process of careful selection based on meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child. Whatever the naming method, a given name follows the child throughout his or her life. How can parents decide on a name that will satisfy them Consider the following: First, consider the area the child will grow up in when selecting a name. Second, choose a name based on some personal meaning so when th e child asks why they’re named so, the parents will have a reasonable explanation. Finally, before deciding on a name, get opinions of people around! Chances are, if your friends and family members look shocked when you share your name selection, your child will probably be horrified as well.１.Meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child.2.
