Unit 2TranslationPut the following paragraphs into Chinese.When a woman is stressed she instinctively feels a need to talk about her feelings and all the possible problems that are associated with her feelings. When she begins talking she does not prioritize the significance of any problem. If she is upset, then she is upset about it all, (no mater it is) big and small. She is not immediately concerned with finding solutions to her problems but rather seeks relief by expressing herself and being understood. By randomly talking about her problems, she becomes less upset.参考译文：女人有压力时，会直觉地需要找人谈自己的感受以及所有可能与之相关的问题。

她一旦开始谈论，就不会顾虑到问题的优先顺序。

而她一难过，不论大大小小的事都让她沮丧不已。

她并不急于马上寻求解答，而宁可通过倾诉自我，获得理解来取得纾解。

通过随意倾诉自己的问题，她会感觉好受一点。

ExerciseTurn the following sentences into Chinese.1. The improbable (pregnant) pregnancy was (some/ a pieces of) big news for the woman's family.2. In reality, I am a great (admire) admirer of Maya.3. Carlisle Street runs westward, across a great black bridge, down a hill and up again,by little shops and meat-markets, past single-storied homes, until suddenly it stops against a wide green lawn.4. The fact that she was able to send a message was a hint. But I had to be cautious.5. That day he was up before sunrise (sunrise: n./ vi.<-> sunset: n./ vi.).参考译文：1. 她竟然能怀孕，对她的家庭来说可是一条特大消息。

2011/2012第一学期非英语专业研究生英语教学大纲Non-English Major Graduate Student EnglishCourse Syllabus（2011/2012Fall Semester）一．编写说明本大纲的教学对象是非英语专业的硕士研究生（以下简称硕士生），研究生英语是非英语专业的硕士生必修的学位课程。

研究生英语教学的宗旨是为了使学生掌握英语这门工具，进行本专业的学习、研究与国际交流，在教学中要坚持从实际出发、学以致用的原则，培养和提高研究生运用英语的能力。

本学期实际教学周数为16周，每周为4学时，共64课时。

学分：2。

（一）．本课程的教学目的和要求硕士研究生英语包括阅读、听说、写作与翻译。

阅读方面要求学生阅读有一定难度的英语读物和专业领域的学术论文等。

听说方面要求学生能听懂英语会话和与专业有关的英语研讨会或学术报告，能用英语进行有实质性的内容的交谈以及参与社会热点问题的讨论，在学术研讨会上提出问题或发表见解等。

写作方面要求学生用英语写各种类型的文章包括学术论文，且做到格式正确，表达连贯。

翻译方面要求学生掌握英汉互译的技巧，能将一般性的英汉短文或论文译成汉英短文或论文，而且做到原文理解正确，译文通顺达意。

通过课堂教学、多媒体辅助教学以及其他各类学习活动，为学生营造一个使听、说、读、写等语言技能得到均衡发展的学习环境，使研究生的英语综合能力有较为明显的提高。

（二）、大纲的教学体系《研究生综合英语1》（精读课本），旨在培养学生的读、说、译、写的能力，每两周一单元，本学期计划完成7个单元。

鉴于广大研究生听说能力弱，每周安排两次（每次25分钟）视听说，内容为《新世纪走遍美国》和《研究生英语听说教程》及《朗文英语听说教程二》。

《新世纪走遍美国》能培养学生的日常英语交流能力，如工作、学校、家庭、医院、城市和乡村等各种特定情景。

每周完成一集，本学期计划完成16集；《研究生英语听说教程》的设计有助于增加学生在语篇层次上的听说能力，提高他们对所听材料的分析判断和归纳总结能力，以及用英语就一般性话题和专业话题表达观点的能力。

Unit 1 对F的赞美1今年将有好几万的十八岁青年毕业，他们都将被授予毫无意义的文凭。

这些文凭看上去跟颁发给比他们幸运的同班同学的文凭没什么两样。

只有当雇主发现这些毕业生是半文盲时，文凭的效力才会被质疑。

2最后，少数幸运者会进入教育维修车间——成人识字课程，我教的一门关于基础语法和写作的课程就属于这种性质。

在教育维修车间里，高中毕业生和高中辍学生将学习他们本该在学校就学好的技能，以获得同等学力毕业证书。

他们还将发现他们被我们的教育体系欺骗了。

3在我教课的过程中，我对我们的学校教育深有了解。

在每学期开始的时候，我会让我的学生写一下他们在学校的不快体验。

这种时候学生不会有任何写作障碍！“我希望当时有人能让我停止吸毒，让我学习。

”“我喜欢参加派对，似乎没人在意。

”“我是一个好孩子，不会制造任何麻烦，于是他们就让我考试通过，及时我阅读不好，也不会写作。

”很多诸如此类的抱怨。

4我基本是一个空想社会改良家，在教这门课之前我将孩子们的学习能力差归咎于毒品、离婚和其他妨碍注意力集中的东西，要想学习好就必须集中注意力。

但是，我每一次走进教室都会再度发现，一个老师在期望学生全神贯注之前，他必须先吸引学生的注意力，无论附近有什么分散注意力的东西。

要做到这点，有很多种办法，它们与教学风格有很大的关系。

然而，单靠风格无法起效，有另一个办法可以显示谁是在教室里掌握胜局的人。

这个办法就是亮出失败的王牌。

5我永远也忘不了一位老师亮出那张王牌以吸引我的一个孩子的注意。

我的小儿子是个世界级的万人迷，学习不怎么动脑筋却总能蒙混过关。

直到施蒂夫特夫人当了他的老师，这种局面才彻底改变了。

6当她教我儿子英语时，我儿子是一个高中高年级学生。

“他坐在后排和他的朋友说话。

”她告诉我。

“你为什么不把他换到前排来？”我恳求道。

我相信令他难堪的做法会让他安心学习。

施蒂夫特夫人从眼睛上方冷冷地看着我。

“我不会换高年级学生的座位。

”她说，“我会给他们不及格的成绩。

He has two assistants: Samantha and Colin. He also .has a secretary named Mandy. Joe's life at the moment is getting very busy. In addition to his normal heavy workload, there are a number of other things needing his attention. You will hear a conversation between Joe and Mandy. Listen to the recording and write down Joe's activities for the day.Mandy: Are you ready to go through the diary for today?Joe: Yes, OK.Mandy: Well, first there are several letters on your desk that need signing. Then from 9:30 to 10:30 you've got a meeting with John Clark from KRP. He's already arrived.Joe: Uh-huh.Mandy: At 10:30 there's the regular monthly meeting of the finance committee.Joe: When does that finish?Mandy: At 12:00. Then Sheila Gordon is coming over about the new offices. She wants to discuss the new designs with you.Joe: Does that have to be today?Mandy: Well, it seems so. We're the only department that hasn't chosen the colours and furniture and so on. So we've been holding everything up.Joe: All right.Mandy: That will probably take till 1:00 p.m. And we were supposed to be going over to see the building some time today, too. Then at 1:00 p.m. you'll be having lunch with the Managing Director.Joe: Oh, yes. He wants to discuss next week's meeting. We don't want a repeat of last year, do we, Joe?Oh dear.Mandy: Then we've set aside this afternoon for writing the annual report. The deadline is 5 o'clock, if we're to get it out in time for the Directors' meeting next week.Joe: I hate that job. It always takes at least three hours.Mandy: And you're leaving at 5:00 p.m. promptly today.Joe: Yes, it's my son's birthday party.Mandy: Well, you can't miss that. It's... is something wrong, Joe?Joe: No, I've just been getting some pains in my chest lately, that's all. It's probably nothing.Mandy: You should see a doctor.Joe: When do I get the chance? The surgery is only open till 1:00 p.m.Mandy: Well, you shouldn't take chances with your health. Oh, I'm afraid we need to fit something else in today. Samantha phoned just now. She wants to see you today about getting a new assistant. Joe: But she knows the policy on new posts.Mandy: Well, yes, but she says she's got too much work for one person and...Joe: Yes?Mandy: And if you don't see her today, she'll resign. And I think she means it this time, Joe.Joe: Oh dear! Well, when...Male voice: Sorry to disturb you, but we've just had this urgent fax for Mr Hill.Task 7Listening: You will hear a conversation between Joe and his wife. Listen to the recording and note down what Joe is supposed to do for today and tomorrow for the family.Marcia: Hello 87549.Joe: Hello, Marcia.Marcia: Hello, darling. This is a nice surprise.Joe: Well, actually I've got a problem. I've had this urgent fax from Brussels. They want me to go out there this afternoon.Marcia: But it's Donald's birthday party and you promised you'd be there this year. You remember how upset he was when you missed it last year.Joe: I know, but we may lose an important contract if I don't go.Marcia: Well, what time will you be back?Joe: Tomorrow morning, I imagine.Marcia: What? Oh, this is the limit, Joe. You know I'm going to the BCI Conference tomorrow and you said that you'd take Donald and Sarah to school and pick them up.Joe: Oh no. I'd forgotten about that. Can't you get someone else to take them?Marcia: It doesn't matter, I should have known better than to rely on you in the first place.Joe: Marcia... Marcia! Oh damn.Task 9Listening: You will hear Joe talking with his secretary Mandy again. They are talking about what Joe should or shouldn't do today. Joe will have to make some decisions. Listen to the recordingand complete the chart below with what you hear.Presenter: Joe has one main problem. He has too much to do. It's a common problem that we all have at some time in our lives. How should you deal with this problem? Well, there are three things that you must decide:1. What are my priorities?2. What can I delegate? What can or should be done by someone else?3. Are other people making unreasonable demands? So let's see how Joe deals with the situation in the light of these questions.Joe: Right then, Mandy. I've had a think about today. This is what we're going to do.Mandy: OK. I'll get the diary.Joe: Now. I've got to see John Clark, because he's already here. But the finance meeting and the meetingwith Sheila Gordon... Colin can deal with those. He's learning the ropes and the best way to do that is to take responsibility.Mandy: Right. I'll phone him.Joe: So I'm now free after 10:307Mandy: That's right.Joe: Now my first priority is to stay alive. So I want you to make an appointment at the doctor's about these pains in my chest, please.Mandy: Very sensible.Joe: Then after that, could you ask Samantha to come and see me? We can't lose her so I must see her. Mandy: But what are you going to say to her about the new post?Joe: I'll promise to put her request for a new post to the Directors' meeting next week. I hope that will keep her happy.Mandy. What about the birthday party?Joe: Well, I've promised my wife and children that I will be there this evening, so I'm going to keep that promise and I need to keep the Directors happy. So it's very important that I have lunch with the Managing Director and that I write the annual report. But I think Colin can help me with that. Mandy: So what about the Alitrain contract?Joe: Well, I think Alitrain are being unreasonable. If their new chap wants to speak to me, he shouldn't leave it to the last minute. You can't do business like that. So I think that's it. Could you get me the Belgium office on the phone, please?Mandy: Yes, of course. Oh, what about going over to see the new building?Joe: Oh, that can wait. I'll go and see it tomorrow.Unit 3 PlacesTask 3Listening: You will hear an interview with four people about their opinions of different places. Listen to the recording and note down the information 3ou hear to fill in the chart below.Number One(I = Interviewer; P = Paulo)I: Do you like your city?P: Oh yes, I feel lucky to be living in a city that's so big and exciting. I love looking out of my apartment window over the high-rise buildings.I: What's the city centre like?P: Some people say it's too noisy and crowded, but I love that. There's always something to see and do.We also have the most famous beach in the world--Copacabana Beach. Then, on the other side of the city, there are beautiful mountains. The highest one is called Corcovado, and it has the famous statue of Christ. If you look down at the city from there, the view is spectacular.I: What's the weather like?P: It's great most of the time. The only time I don't like Rio much is in the summer: it's too hot and humid.Number Two(I = Interviewer; G = Gisela)I: Do you like your city?G: Yes, it's wonderful. I think my city has everything.I: What's the architecture like?G: It's a mixture of old and new with plenty of shops for everybody. The castle is the most famous monument, and at night it looks amazing.I: What's the nightlife like?G: It's a young city because of the university, so there are plenty of cheap restaurants and interesting cafes and bars. It s got a great nightlife.I: And what are the people like?G: Well, some people are a bit reserved, but in general they're really friendly.Number Three( I - Interviewer; A - Armelle)I: Where do you live?A: Well, I live in a small village with my parents. My grandparents live here too, and my aunts and uncles. In fact, I think I'm related to about fifty per cent of the people in my village.I: What's your village like?A: It's very pretty. The countryside is beautiful, and the air is lovely and clean. But it's too quiet. I find it so dull and boring here--there aren't any discos or cinemas.I: What are the people like?A: Oh, they're lovely, but there aren't many young people. I want to go and live in the city. Soon. Number Four(I = Interviewer; L = Luigi)I: What do you think of your city?L: It is a very special place. There is nowhere else in the world like my city--it's so romantic.I: What's the city centre like?L: The buildings are beautiful, and we have San Marco, one of the most famous churches in the world.San Marco Square is wonderful, and during carnival in February Venice is the best place in the world to be.I: Do you like living here?L: No, I really hate living here. It's horrible. There are too many tourists everywhere.I: Oh dear. What are the shops like?L: Well, because of the tourists the shops are too expensive and the canals are dirty and polluted. My city is not big enough for all these people. Why don't they leave us in peace?Task 5Listening: What do you already know about Hong Kong? You will hear someone talking about this place. Listen to the recording and note down the information you hear.Talking about Hong KongUm, the population of Hong Kong is, urn, it's about six million. Um and there are a large number of islands, the New Territories and Kowloon are actually part of the mainland of China but Hong Kong Island is actually separate from that, um, the population, there tend to be well, open spaces and then very densely populated areas. As far as the climate's concerned, in the summer, um, it reaches 34 degrees but the humidity can be sometimes up to about 100 per cent so it, it's very very sticky...Um, as far as the food is concerned, it's a wonderful place, I mean, I think there are something like 19 thousand restaurants for a population of six million, which is incredible--it's the most incredible place...Um it's the sort of place where everybody has to be responsible for themselves financially, there's no social security network so people try to make their fortunes and there is an emphasis on money.., but most people are really friendly. I think anyway.Umm. Then, as far as the food's concerned, it's very, very mixed, it's the kind of place where you can find Japanese, Chinese, Thai, French, and Italian restaurants all in the same street--and everyone's eating in the Burger King round the corner !Task 6Listening: You will hear three people talking about three different places. Listen to the recording and complete the chart below with what you hear.First, AmeliaAmelia: Everyone falls in love with Rio de Janeiro. People in Rio spend so much time outdoors. Oh, and they are so friendly. Sometimes, it seems that everyone is on one of those beautiful beaches, especially Copacabana. Many, many visitors come just for the music. Samba remains popular, and you won't be disappointed by Rio's excellent nightlife.Next, RolandRoland: Um... I think if you come to Sydney, you'll really enjoy it. The people you meet will always help you, and we re very friendly to strangers. Oh, and of course, Sydney Harbor is absolutely beautiful--it's the largest in the world. And if you really want to see some local animals, uh, you should come to Taronga Zoo--there are all kinds of Australian marsupials there, including koala bears.Finally, LilyLily: Visitors love Singapore for the shopping. It's excellent, and you can get some real bargains here. But... um... what I think you'd like the most about Singapore is the mix of different people--um... Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Europeans. The food is great, too--you know, all kinds of Asian food and not expensive at all. The... um... outdoor food markets are the best places to eat.Task 8Listening: You will hear two people being interviewed about their experience of living in Britain and Ecuador ( ).

I found it very strange, I still find it very strange that the pubs close at 11 o'clock.., and the fact that you can't go into a bar just to... you can't really go into a bar just to have a cup of tea or coffee or you know, at 7 o'clock at night, I find it a little bit strange.I: What advice would you give someone coming to live in Britain?T: A French person? If... What would it be? Bring an umbrella.Interviewer: What was the best thing about living in Ecuador?Jim: The best thing for me I think was the mountains, I loved the mountains.I: And what was the worst thing?J: I don't think there was a worst thing really, I just liked everything about it.I: What did you miss most about England?J: What did I miss most? My bed and er... probably family and friends because I couldn't afford to come home for Christmas.I: What was the strangest thing about living in Ecuador?J: The strangest thing? Being rich! I mean even on my salary I could afford to do things, like, like.., fly somewhere for the weekend.I: What advice would you give someone going to live in Ecuador?J: Travel around as much as they can, it's an amazing place...Unit 4 DietTask 3Listening: You will hear three conversations.

Unit OneTRAITS OF THE KEY PLAYERSDavid G. Jensen核心员工的特征大卫·G．詹森1 What exactly is a key player? A "Key Player" is a phrase that I've heard about from employers during just about every search I've conducted. I asked a client - a hiring manager involved in a recent search - to define it for me. "Every company has a handful of staff in a given area of expertise that you can count on to get the job done. On my team of seven process engineer and biologists, I've got two or three whom I just couldn't live without," he said. "Key players are essential to my organization. And when we hire your company to recruit for us, we expect that you'll be going into other companies and finding just that: the staff that another manager will not want to see leave. We recruit only key players."1核心员工究竟是什么样子的?几乎每次进行调查时，我都会从雇主们那里听到“核心员工”这个名词。
