Lesson One1. Everybody, except me, is born with the ability to think.2. Y ou could hear the fresh air struggling with difficulty to find its way to his chest, because he was unaccustomed to this. (whichwas blocked in his chest and striving to get through it). He would stagger or be thrown off balance, and his face would go white because of the shock of the unexpected visit of fresh air. He would step away unsteadily to his desk and fell into the chair, unable to do anything for the rest of morning3. On this occasion, it seemed that it was not his thought but his natural instinct that ruled him, which he was unable to resist.4. T echnically speaking, it is about as incompetent as most businessmen's golf, as dishonest as most politicians' intentions, or as incoherent as most books that get written.”5. They usually represent the great majority in agreement. We had better respect them instead of distaining them, because the number of them is much larger than us and we are surrounded by them.6. It is probably human nature to enjoy agreement because it seems to bring peace, security, comfort, and harmony, which is the same nature that leads cows to graze in the same manner on the side of a hill. (or Man likes to be unanimous, it’s just the same as the cows, which like eating the grass …7. The second contradiction I have detected is to hear that our Prime Minister mentioned to offer great benefit to India and meanwhile put independence-fighters like Nehru and Gandhi into prison. The third contradiction is to hear that American politicians talk about peace but refuse to join the association of nations to maintain world peace. It’s true that this may bring a short instance of pleasure.8. I put my arm stealthily around her waist and said in low voice that if we were talking about the number of people who believe in certain kind of religion, I would bet on the Buddhists. She was frightened and fled away from me because of my delinquent behavior and our contradictory opinions on religion.9. What had happened to Ruth and me now happened again. I had still some very close friends supporting me as usual.

Lesson Three1.For most students, they begin their study of history with a textbook in which there are a great number of names, dates and statistics for them to remember.(or Most students often study history through remembering a large amount of names, dates and statistics in thick textbooks.)2. History used to be an ordinary matter of memorizing “facts”, but now it turns to be an act of making the right choice out of many interpretations. Truth in history becomes a matter of personal likesor dislikes.3. They can only feel that absolutely opposed (or completely different) arguments about an event cannot both be right. However, it’s beyond their knowledge to decide which one should be right.4. They will find out information about the “Zimmerman Note”, an order the German Foreign Secretary, Arthur Zimmerman, sent to his minister in Mexico, which instructed the minister to propose an alliance to the Mexican government, in case a war may break out. Mexico, with the German financial support, was to go to war against the U.S. and re-conquer her lost territories from New Mexico, Texas and Arizona, which the United States had taken from Mexico in the Mexican War.5. Can we wipe out all the differences? We can (eliminate all disagreement) if our knowledge could give us a perfect model that completely explained human behavior. Unfortunately no such model has ever existed.Lesson Lix1. They are only based on tradition, or on somebody’s strong statement, but are not supported even by the least amount of proof.2. But if they were exchanged when they were infants and brought up in different homes and under different influences, then the staunchest Roman Catholic would be the staunchest Presbyterian, and vice versa. This shows that our beliefs are largely influenced by our surroundings.3. We can conclude based on all our knowledge of psychology, that each would have grown up having exactly the opposite beliefs to what they have now.4. …we may still remember that in th e history of human development, there have been too many cases that the previous “obvious truths” were proved wrong when new knowledge and reason had been developed.5. It took many scientists of greatest learning hundreds of years to struggle against the assumption that the planets moved in circles. The success of getting rid of that assumption is one of the miracles in human history.6. Many modern people are hard to believe that for some time men had ever thought they were thinking with their hearts.7. We hold and cling to some beliefs merely because it is in our interest to believe them. (or it brings benefit or advantage to us to do so.)But people who hold some beliefs through self-interest usually will not admit this.8. Many people are unconsciously forced to hold a belief because he has become an important person in his group. (or a certain group of people)Lesson Nine1. But I may take the liberty of suggesting (or make bold to suggest) that you’ll find my idea of fun more interesting than Ivan’s? (So I guess you’d better choose to play the game with me.)2. He nodded toward Ivan, who was standing in the corner of the room, whose chest was as big and thick as a barrel．3. Y our brain will be competing with mine. Y our skill will be competing with mine. Y our strength and endurance will be competing with mine. It will be just like outdoor chess. And in the game our stakes are our precious lives.4. He was on a small island surrounded by the sea. What he could do was restricted within the limit of the island.5. He performed a series of complicated loops; He moved round and round, covering the same trail again and again so as to confuse his pursuer, remembering all the things he learned in fox hunt and the way the hunted fox tried to escape.6. It made him tremble all over. (Or: A feeling of horror swept over him. )7. He had had the same kind of experience in France, when he haddug a hole just in time to save himself from death. However, that urgent moment seemed nothing compared with this time.8. For Rainsford, a minute seemed as long as a year because hewas so frightened and anxious.9. “Y our Burmese tiger pit has killed one of my best dogs.’’10. “Rainsford can now sleep in this wonderful bed, and he is thewinner.” Rainsford came to a conclusion.。

4From Cunctator's day until this century, the art of postponement had been virtually a monopoly of the military ("Hurry up and wait"), diplomacy and the law. In former times, a British proconsul faced with a native uprising could comfortably ruminate about the situation with Singapore Sling in hand. Blessedly, he had no nattering Telex to order in machine guns and fresh troops. AU.S.general as late as World War II could agree with his enemy counterpart to take a sporting day off, loot the villagers' chickens and wine and go back to battle a day later. Lawyers are among the world's most addicted postponers. According to Frank Nathan, a nonpost-poningBeverly Hillsinsurance salesman, "The number of attorneys who die without a will is amazing."
3Yet for all the trouble procrastination may incur, delay can often inspire and revive a creative soul. Jean Kerr, author of many successful novels and plays, says that she reads every soup-can and jamjar label in her kitchen before settling down to her typewriter. Many a writer focuses on almost anything but his task—for example, on the Coast and Geodetic Survey of Maine'sFrenchmanBays imagination with names like Googins Ledge, Blunts Pond, Hio Hill and Burnt Porcupine, Long Porcupine, Sheep Porcupine and Bald Porcupine islands.

Unit 2 The Fine Art of Putting Things OffMichael Demarest1"Never put off till tomorrow," exhorted Lord Chesterfield in 1749, "what you can do today." That the elegant earl never got around to marrying his son's mother and had a bad habit of keeping worthies like Dr. Johnson cooling their heels for hours in an anteroom attests to the fact that even the most well-intentioned men have been postponers ever. Quintus Fabius Maximus, one of the great Roman generals, was dubbed "Cunctator " (Delayer) for putting off battle until the last possible vinum break. Moses pleaded a speech defect to rationalize his reluctance to deliver Jehovah's edicts to Pharaoh. Hamlet, of course, raised procrastination to an art form. 2The world is probably about evenly divided between delayers and do-it-nowers. There are those who prepare their income taxes in February, prepay mortgages and serve precisely planned dinners at an ungodly 6:30 . The other half dine happily on leftovers at 9 or 10, misplace bills and file for an extension of the income tax deadline. They seldom pay credit-card bills until the apocalyptic voice of Diners threatens doom from Denver. They postpone, as Faustian encounters, visits to barbershop, dentist or doctor.3Yet for all the trouble procrastination may incur, delay can often inspire and revive a creative soul. Jean Kerr, author of many successful novels and plays, says that she reads every soup-can and jamjar label in her kitchen before settling down to her typewriter. Many a writer focuses on almost anything but his task—for example, on the Coast and Geodetic Survey of Maine's Frenchman Bay and Bar Harbor, stimulating his imagination with names like Googins Ledge, Blunts Pond, Hio Hill and Burnt Porcupine, Long Porcupine, Sheep Porcupine and Bald Porcupine islands.4From Cunctator's day until this century, the art of postponement had been virtually a monopoly of the military ("Hurry up and wait"), diplomacy and the law. In former times, a British proconsul faced with a native uprising could comfortably ruminate about the situation with Singapore Sling in hand. Blessedly, he had no nattering Telex to order in machine guns and fresh troops. A U.S. general as late as World War II could agree with his enemy counterpart to take a sporting day off, loot the villagers' chickens and wine and go back to battle a day later. Lawyers are among the world's most addicted postponers. According to Frank Nathan, a nonpost-poning Beverly Hills insurance salesman, "The number of attorneys who die without a will is amazing."5Even where there is no will, there is a way. There is a difference, of course, between chronic procrastination and purposeful postponement, particularly in the higher echelons of business. Corporate dynamics encourage the caution that breeds delay, says Richard Manderbach, Bank of America group vice president. He notes that speedy action can be embarrassing or extremely costly. The data explosion fortifies those seeking excuses for inaction—another report to be read, another authority to be consulted. "There is always," says Manderbach, "a delicate edge between having enough information and too much."6His point is well taken. Bureaucratization, which flourished amid the growing burdens of government and the greater complexity of society, was designed to smother policymakers in blankets of legalism, compromise and reappraisal—and thereby prevent hasty decisions from being made. The centralization of government that led to Watergate has spread to economic institutions and beyond, making procrastination a worldwide way of life. Many languages are studded with phrases that refer to putting things off—from the Spanish mañana to the Arabic bukra fil mishmish(literally "tomorrow in apricots," more loosely "leave it for the soft spring weather when the apricots are blooming").7Academe also takes high honors in procrastination. Bernard Sklar, a University of Southern California sociologist who churns out three to five pages of writing a day, admits that "many of my friends go through agonies when they face a blank page. There are all sorts of rationalizations: the pressure of teaching, responsibilities at home, checking out the latest book, looking up another footnote."8Psychologists maintain that the most assiduous procrastinators are women, though many psychologists are (at $50-plus an hour) pretty good delayers themselves. Dr. Ralph Greenson, a professor of clinical psychiatry (and Marilyn Monroe's onetime shrink), takes a fairly gentle view of procrastination. "To many people," he says, "doing something, confronting, is the moment of truth. All frightened people will then avoid the moment of truth entirely, or evade or postpone it until the last possible moment." To Georgia State Psychologist Joen Pagan, however, procrastination may be a kind of subliminal way of sorting the important from the trivial. "When I drag my feet, there's usually some reason," says Fagan. "I feel it, but I don't yet know the real reason."9In fact, there is a long and honorable history of procrastination to suggest that many ideas and decisions may well improve if postponed. It is something of a truism that to put off making a decision is itself adecision. The parliamentary process is essentially a system of delay and deliberation. So, for that matter, is the creation of a great painting, or an entree, or a book, or a building like Blenheim Palace, which took the Duke of Marlborough's architects and laborers 15 years to construct. In the process, the design can mellow and marinate. Indeed, hurry can be the assassin of elegance. As . White, author of Sword in the Stone, once wrote, time "is not meant to be devoured in an hour or a day, but to be consumed delicately and gradually and without haste." In other words, pace Lord Chesterfield, what you don't necessarily have to do today, by all means put off until tomorrow.Unit3. Walls and Barriers --Eugene Raskin1My father's reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City was immediate and definite: “ You won't catch me putting my money in there!" he declared." Not in that glass box!"2Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is unnerving; but I suspect—I more than suspect, I am convinced—that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money.3In his generation money was thought of as a tangible commodity—bullion, bank notes, coins—that could be hefted, carried, or stolen. Consequently, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a building’s design made it appear impregnable, the institution was necessarily sound, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architectural symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money, rather than in any aesthetic theory.4But that attitude toward money has of course changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit, a bookkeeping-banking matter. A deficit economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as a product of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe, he offers us a service—a service in which the most valuable elements are dash and a creative flair for the invention of large numbers. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing the disappearance of the heavy-walled bank. The Manufacturers Trust, which my father distrusted so heartily, is a great cubical cage of glass whose brilliantly lighted interior challenges even the brightness of a sunny day, while the door to the vault, far from being secluded and guarded, is set out as a window display.5Just as the older bank asserted its invulnerability, this bank by its architecture boasts of its imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion begins. In fact, there is no such division; the two are one and the same.6It is in the understanding of architecture as a medium for the expression of human attitudes, prejudices, taboos, and ideals that the new architectural criticism departs from classical aesthetics. The latter relied upon pure proportion, composition, etc., as bases for artistic judgment. In the age of sociology and psychology, walls are not simply walls but physical symbols of the barriers in men’s minds.7In a primitive society, for example, men pictured the world as large, fearsome, hostile, and beyond human control. Therefore they built heavy walls of huge boulders, behind which they could feel themselves to be in a delimited space that was controllable and safe; these heavy walls expressed ma n’s fear of the outer world and his need to find protection, however illusory. It might be argued that the undeveloped technology of the period precluded the construction of more delicate walls. This is of course true. Still it was not technology, but a fearful attitude toward the world, which made people want to build walls in the first place. The greater the fear, the heavier the wall, until in the tombs of ancient kings we find structures that are practically all wall, the feat of dissolution being the ultimate fear.8And then there is the question of privacy—for is has become questionable. In some Mediterranean cultures it was not so much the world of nature that was feared, but the world of men. Men were dirty, prying, vile, and dangerous. One went about, if one could afford it, in guarded litters, women went about heavily veiled, if the went about at all. Ones’ house was surrounded by a wall, and the rooms faced not out, but in, toward a patio, expressing the prevalent conviction that the beauties and values of life were to be found by looking inward, and by engaging in the intimate activities of a personal as against a public life. The rich intricacies of the decorative arts of the period as well as its contemplative philosophies are as illustrative of this attitude as the walls themselves. 9We feel different today. For one thing, we place greater reliance upon the control of human hostility, not so much by physical barriers, as by the conventions of law and social practice—as well as the availability of motorized police. We do not cherish privacy as much as did our ancestors.We are proud to have our women seen and admired, and the same goes for our homes. We do not seek solitude; in fact, if we find ourselves alone for once, we flick a switch and invite the whole world in through the television screen. Small wonder, then, that the heavy surrounding wall is obsolete, and we build, instead, membranes of thin sheet metal or glass.10The principal function of today’s wall is to separate possibly undesirable outside air from the controlled conditions of temperature and humidity which we have created inside. Glass may accomplish this function, though there are apparently a good many people who still have qualms about eating, sleeping, and dressing under conditions of high visibility; they demand walls that will at least give them a sense of adequate screening. But these shy ones are a vanishing breed. The Philip Johnson house in Connecticut, which is much admired and widely imitated, has glass walls all the way around, and the only real privacy is to be found in the bathroom, the toilette taboo being still unbroken, at least in Connecticut.11To repeat, it is not our advanced technology, but our changing conceptions of ourselves in relation to the world that determine how we shall build our walls. The glass wall expresses man’s conviction that he can and does master nature and society. The “open plan” and the unobstructed view are consistent with his faith in the eventual solution of all problems through the expanding efforts of science. This is perhaps why it is the most “advanced” and “forward-looking” among us who live and work in glass houses. Even the fear of the cast stone has been analyzed out of us.From: T. Cooley,flash of insight that leaves you a changed person –not only changed, but changed for the better.答; The most inspiring and gratifying fact of life is the unexpected spark of enlightenment that makes you different and a better person than before.2\ He came across the street, finally, muffled in his ancient overcoat, shapeless felt hat pulled down over his bald head, looking more like an energetic gnome than an eminent psychiatrist. 答: At last he walked over from the other side of the street wrapped in his old-fashioned overcoat, his bald head covered by a shapeless felt hat.

Unit 11. Nothing in life is more exciting and rewarding than the sudden flash of light that leaves you a changed person--not only changed, but changed for the better.The most inspiring and gratifying fact of life is the unexpected spark of enlightenment that makes you different and a better person than before.2. He came across the street, finally, muffled in his ancient overcoat, shapeless felt hat pulled down over his bald head, looking more like an energetic gnome than an eminent psychiatrist.A t last he walked over from the other side of the street, wrapped in his old-fashioned overcoat, his bald head covered by a shapeless felt hat. He looked like a dwarfish old man full of energy rather than a well-known psychiatrist.3. The woman who spoke next had never married because of a sense of obligation to her widowed mother; she recalled bitterly all the marital chances she had let go by.The next speaker on the tape was a woman who had remained single because she thought she was obliged to take care of her mother who was a widow. She still remembered and told others miserably about all the chances of marriage she had missed.4. In the end, if you let it become a habit, it can become a real roadblock, an excuse for not trying any more.Eventually, if you f orm a habit of saying “if only”, the phrase can really turn to an obstruction, providing you with an excuse for giving up trying anything at all.5. ... you never got out of the past tense. Not once did you mention the future.…you are always thinking of the past, regretting and lamenting. You did not look forward to what you can do in the future at all.6. ''My, my,'' said the Old Man slyly. ''If only we had come down ten seconds sooner, we'd have caught that cab, wouldn't we?''The Old Man said to me tr ickily, using the phrase “if only” on purpose, “If only we’d got here ten seconds earlier, we’d have caught the cab.” I laughed and understood what he meant. So I followed his advice and said, “Next time I’ll run faster”.Unit 21. Moses pleaded a speech defect to rationalize his reluctance to deliver Jehovah's edict to Pharaoh. Moses justified his unwillingness to pass Jehovah’s order to Pharaoh, saying that he was “slow of speech”.2. Yet for all the trouble procrastination may incur, delay can often inspire and revive a creative soul.Delay leads to problems. However, in many cases, it can often stimulate the creativity in an artist.3. He notes that speedy action can be embarrassing or extremely costly.He points out that hastiness may give rise to decision which turn out to be humiliating or expensive.4. Bureaucratization, which flourished amid the growing burdens of government and the greater complexity of society, was designed to smother policymakers in blankets of legalism, compromise and reappraisal---and thereby prevent hasty decisions from being made.Excessive red-tape(官样文章；繁文缛节) developed because public administration was expanding in scope and because society was growing more and more complicated. In this sense, red-tape helped those in charge of policy to be fully engaged in enormous amount of paperwork and judgment, thus making it impossible for an immature decision to result.5. ...many of my friends go through agonies when they face a blank page.…many of my friends have a hard time the moment they attempt to put pen to paper.Unit 31. Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is unnerving; but I suspect---I more than suspect, I am convinced---that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money.Brought up in the old tradition, my father is naturally not prepared to accept the idea of modern architecture; his objection to it, I would assume, indeed I should say I am pretty sure, is not a result of his strong dislike of the physical building itself, but rather that of his refusal to change his attitude towards money.2. If a building's design made it appear impregnable, the institution was necessarily sound, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architectural symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money, rather than in any aesthetic theory.If a building was made to look sturdy/invulnerable, it would be accordingly regarded as reliable, and the significance of the thick walls would be measured not by their artistic value, but by their seeming ability to provide a safe location for money.3. In a primitive society, for example, men pictured the world as large, fearsome, hostile, and beyond human control.P eople in a primitive society, for example, saw the world as an enormous planet full of fear, hatred and disorder.4.The principal function of today's wall is to separate possible undesirable outside air from the controlled conditions of temperature and humidity which we have created inside.Today a wall serves mainly as a physical means to protect the desired atmosphere inside from being disturbed by anything unwelcome outside.5. To repeat, it is not our advanced technology, but our changing conceptions of ourselves in relation to the world that determine how we shall build our walls.Again, the decisive factor that can influence the design of a wall is not the advancement of science and technology, but our ever-changing attitude towards our place in this world.Unit 41. He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts.He was a man rich in whimsies, and intolerant of any act bold enough as to challenge his authority. When his mind caught upon something, absurd as it might be, he would do everything to make sure that it was done in the way he wished.2. When every member of his domestic and political systems moved smoothly in its appointed course, his nature was bland and genial; but whenever there was a little hitch, and some of his orbs got out of their orbits, he was blander and more genial still, for nothing pleased him so much as to make the crooked straight, and crush down uneven places.When all his subjects behaved in such a manner as they were told to, he could be gentle and kind. And he could even be more so, if anything not conforming to what he expected should occur, because that offered a great chance for him to see the undesirable removed, a thing he was most delighted in doing.3. He could open either door he pleased: he was subject to no guidance or influence but that of the aforementioned impartial and incorruptible chance.He enjoyed total freedom to choose what to do: he was not directed or influenced by anyone as to which door to open. The only thing that was decisive in terms of his fate was the above-mentioned chance, granted to all the accused alike.4. This element of uncertainty lent an interest to the occasion which it could not otherwise have attained.The fact that no one could tell for sure what might happen (to the accused) made this from of trial more attractive than any other form of justice.5. Thus the masses were entertained and pleased, and the thinking part of the community could bring no charge of unfairness against this plan; for did not the accused person have the whole matter in his own hands?Thus people enjoyed coming here to watch, and those guided by reason in the society could not possibly question the fairness of this form of trial; for was it not the fact that all the accused were given equal chances to make decisions upon their won destiny?Unit51. This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies, and with a soul as fervent and imperious as his own.This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as exuberant as the wildest of his notions, a daughter who possessed a nature as fierce and tyrannical as his own.2. Of course, everybody knew that the deed with which the accused was charged had been done.It was, of course, known to all that he was guilty of the offense of conducting an affair with the princess.3. ...; but the king would not think of allowing any fact of this kind to interfere with the workings of the tribunal, in which he took such great delight and satisfaction.…,even though the ki ng was well aware that the love affair had taken place, he would still refuse to let the normal method of deciding guilt or innocence be disturbed, because he was extremely enthusiastic about his way of setting matters of this kind.4. ...; but gold, and the power of a woman's will, had brought the secret to the princess..…; but because she had the money, and above all, because her determination was so irresistible, the princess was able to get access to the secret.5. He understood her nature, and his soul was assured that she would never rest until she had made plain to herself this thing, hidden to all other lookers-on, even to the king.He knew her so well that he was perfectly positive that she would never cease to search for the secret, which remained unknown to all other spectators, even to the king himself.Unit 61. There seems to be a general assumption that brilliant people cannot stand routine; that they needa varied, exciting life in order to do their best.It is generally believed that a colorless life can freeze a creative mind, and that only a colorful life can inspire a man to creative work.2. The outstanding characteristic of man's creativeness is the ability to transmute trivial impulses into momentous consequences.One of the wonders human creativity works is that man can make full use of even insignificant feelings to produce far-reaching results.3. An eventful life exhausts rather than stimulates.A life full of diversions stops man’s creativity instead of activating it.4. It is usually the mediocre poets, writers, etc.,who go in search of stimulating events to release their creative flow.Only literary artists of an average type rely on excitements in life as a source for their creative work./ Great poets, writers, etc., create works of art out of trivial and common subject.5. People who find dull job unendurable are often dull people who do not know what to do with themselves when at leisure.People who are unable to see how to be patient with repetitious work are usually those who are unable to see where to find fun in life when it comes to relaxation.。

新编英语教程6课后习题paraphrase答案Unit 31.Brought up in the old tradition, my father is naturally not prepared to accept the idea of modern architecture; his objection to it, I would assume, indeed I should say I am pretty sure, is not a result of his strong dislike of the physical building itself, but rather that of his refusal to change his attitude towards money.2.If a building was made to look sturdy/invulnerable, it would be accordingly regarded as reliable, and the significance of the thick walls would be measured not by their artistic value, but by their seeming ability to provide a safe location for money.3.People in a primitive society, for example, saw the world as an enormous planet full of fear, hatred and disorder.4.Today a wall serves mainly as a physical means to protect the desired atmosphere inside from being disturbed by anything unwelcome outside.5.Again, the decisive factor that can influence the design of a wall is not the advancement of science and technology, but our ever-changing attitude towards our place in this world.Unit 41.He was a man rich in whimsies, and intolerant of any act bold enough as tochallenge his authority. When his mind caught upon something, absurd as it might be, he would do everything to make sure that it was done in the way he wished.2.When all his subjects behaved in such a manner as they were told to, he could be gentle and kind. And he could even be more so, if anything not conforming to what he expected should occur, because that offered a great chance for him to see the undesirable removed,a thing he was most delighted in doing.3.He enjoyed total freedom to choose what to do: he was not directed or influenced by anyone as to which door to open. The only thing that was decisive in terms of his fate was the above-mentioned chance, granted to all the accused alike.4.The fact that no one could tell for sure what might happen (to the accused) made this from of trial more attractive than any other form of justice.5.Thus people enjoyed coming here to watch, and those guided by reason in the society could not possibly question the fairness of this form of trial; for was it not the fact that all the accused were given equal chances to make decisions upon their won destiny?Unit51.This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as exuberant as the wildest of his notions, a daughter who possessed a nature as fierce and tyrannical as his own.2.It was, of course, known to all that he was guilty of the offense of conducting an affair with the princess.3.…,even though the king was well aware that the love affair had taken place, he would still refuse to let the normal method of deciding guilt or innocence be disturbed, because he was extremely enthusiastic about his way of setting matters of this kind.4..…; but because she had th e money, and above all, because her determination was so irresistible, the princess was able to get access to the secret.5.He knew her so well that he was perfectly positive that she would never cease to search for the secret, which remained unknown to all other spectators, even to the king himself.。

(p3)When students participate in classroom discussion they are more inclined to think that going to school is useful, and the positive attitudes facilitate learning.3. It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom and score lower thanboys on SATs. (p3)It is not surprising that the two things, namely, girls being more passive in the classroom and scoring lower than boys should be causally related.4. Most teachers claim that girls participate and are called on in class as often as boys.(p4)Most teachers state that girls participate and are asked to speak in class as often as boy.5. But a three-year study we recently completed found that this is not true; vocally, boysclearly dominate the classroom. (p4)Based on a three-year study, we found that this is not true; in terms of oral participation, boys clearly speak much more in classroom.6. When we showed teachers and administrators film of a classroom discussion andasked who was talking more, the teachers overwhelmingly said the girls were. (p4) When we showed teachers and people responsible for the running of a school a video of a classroom discussion and asked who was talking more, the teachers almost all said the girls were.7.

(p5)Half of the classroom covered the skills in using the language for effective communication and literary appreciation. And girls usually do better in these subjects.The other half covered math and science which traditionally belong to male field.9. Our research contradicted the traditional assumption that girls dominate classroomdiscussion in reading, while boys are dominant in math. (p7) Our research denied the truth of the traditional supposition that girls control classroom discussion in reading, while boys control the discussion in math.10. We found that whether the subject was language arts and English or math andscience, boys got more than their fair share of teacherattention. (p7)We found that whether the subject was skills in using the language for effective communication and English or math and science, boys got more teacher attention than is supposed to be fair.11. Some critics claim that if teachers talk more to male students, it is simply becauseboys are more assertive in grabbing their attention --- a classic case of the squeaky wheel getting the educational oil. (p8) Some critics state firmly that if teachers talk more to male students, it is simply because boys are more aggressive in catching their attention --- a typical example of the notice --- arresting students getting more attention from the teacher.12. However, male assertiveness is not the whole answer. (p8)However, male’s mere assertive cannot completely answer th e question.13. Girls are often shortchanged in quality as well as in quantity of teacher attention. (p10)Girls are often not given enough teacher attention what they deserve in quality as well as in quantity.14.

Thus the overall result is that the feedback boys receive much more beneficial than that for girls.19. Active students receiving precise feedback are more likely to achieve academically.And they are more likely to be boys.

(p1)I remembered Socrates’ saying that, “The life of few profound consideration andcareful choice is not a meaningful one”, and decided that maybe it was time to look at my life very carefully to see if any lessons could be drawn from it or any changes needed to be made in it.3. If I hadn’t been to college, I wouldn’t have been that significant analogy, I thoughtsmugly, depositing an orange pit in the sink as I finished the salad (or did I learn that in high school?). (p2)I feel proud of knowledge I have acquired from college which descend in scale. Isplitted an orange pit into the kitchen sink after I had finished eating the salad.

He said, “When an object floats on the liquid we can know its weight, which is equal to the weight of the liquid it has displaced; when an object immersed in the liquid we can know its volume which is equal to the volume of the liquid it has displaced.”6.

Applied tomy case, “unity” means that all the clothes I had to wash were dirty clothes and “variety” means that every piece to be washed was different from every other piece.10. I indulged in aggressive fantasies against my dear family as I picked up a necktiedraped on a lamp, a pair of tennis shoes under the couch, a cache of peanut shells beneath a newspaper and remembering William James’ comment that “Even a pig ha s a philosophy,”I wondered angrily what theirs was.

(p4)It is most desirable he should not eacape.17. Hardly ever is a language learned after twenty spoken without a foreign accent;If one learns a language after the age of twenty, he will almost never sound like a native speaker, but only like a foreigner;18. Hardly, ever can a youth transformed to the society of his betters unclean and nasalityand other vices of speech bred in him by the associations of his growing years.

(p6)The calculation of good habits formed is just like the investment of money in a project, if you can form a good habit in your early years, you can benefit a lot from them and enjoy the comfortable life in the future.21. The more of the details of our daily life we can hand over to the effortless custody ofautomatism, the more our higher powers of mind will be set free for their own proper work. (p6)Most of the trivial items in our life can become a habit and can be taken of our conscious mind which therefore can be used for more important task.22. Full half the time of such a man goes to deciding, or regretting, of matters which oughtto be so ingrained in him as practically not to exist for his consciousness at all.

(p2)…… her face was small, delicate, and clean, and was as oval-shaped as a miniature, representing the typical feminine face admired as perfect by Regency time, though she spoke in a firm, commanding tone and an upper-class manner, typical of those who had been educated at a highly prestigious school for upper-class young women, which she graduated not long ago.4. Her companion appeared a little distraught. (p4)Her partner seemed somewhat worried or upset about what to do next.5. I could see them as two miniatures hanging side by side on white wood panels.

She deserved a better life. (p6)She could have enjoyed an easier life than toiling as a novelist.8. You know you don’t get on with him. This way we shall be quite independent. (p8)You know you don’t have a good relationship with your uncle. If we do as I have said we shall be quite independent.9. My mother says that writing is a good crutch… (p13)She disapproves of writing as the main thing (a career), but though writing is good only as an auxiliary support.10. a pretty solid crutch (p14)If you should think writing is support, I would argue that it isa pretty solid support. It can be the main source of a living.11. I see what you mean. (p26)I understand what you are trying to say.12. I was on the side of his mother. It was a humiliating thought, but I was probably abouthe r mother’s age. (p26)I agreed with his mother that writing should not be a career, but only a support.Although knowing oneself to be old would cause discomfort and embarrassment, I was actually about her mother’s age and therefore quite in a position to advise her and her future.13. …… “the long defeat of doing nothing well” (p27)…… “the frustration of being unable to write anything goodf or many years”14. ……, by performance and not by promise. (p27)……, by what you have actually written, not by any indication of potential success in you.15. I didn’t know you’d ever been there. (p29)The polite way of saying “I know you have never been th ere(so how can you write about a place you don’t know?)16. A fresh eye’s terribly important. (p30)It’s all good to see something new.17. Perhaps, we’d go better to marry when you come back. (p37)It will be more sensible of us to get married when you come back.18. ……couldn’t you observe a bit more near home? Here in London. (p47)…… why go off to St. Tropez? Couldn’t you write somethinga bout here, about London?19. Darling, you’re awfully decorative, but sometimes --- well, you simply don’t connect.(p51)You look awfully good. (If we go out together, I can feel proud of being accompanied by such a handsome young man.) But you haven’t got int elligence, you absolutely don’t connect one meaning to author.20. …… bowed to each other, as though they wer e blocked in doorway. (p54)…… yielded apologetically to each other in such a manner as if they have dumped into each other in a doorway, as one was going out and the other coming in21. I had thought the two young people matching miniatures, but what a contrast in factthere was. The same type of prettiness could contain weakness and strengthens.(p55)I had wrongly believed that the two young people were a good match for their looks.But now I saw they were so different in nature. The same pretty looks could mean a weak character in some people, but a strong character in others.22. Her Regency counterpart, I suppose, would have borne a dozen children without theaid of anesthetics, while he would have fallen an easy victim to the first dark eyes in Naples. (p55)If she had lived in Regency time, she would have been able to give birth to a dozen children without the use of anesthetics. However, if he had been a young officer in Nelson’s navy and had called at the port of Naples, he would easily have been secured by the first Italian woman he met after setting foot ashore.23. I didn’t like to think of her as the Mrs. Humphrey Ward of her generation --- not that Iwould live so long. (p55)I dreaded the thought of her becoming a well-established writer. This was not becauseI would live so long as to see her become another Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the Mrs.Humphrey Ward of her time. But this was because I was deeply aware that the further she went along a writer’s road, the more severely she was sure to suffer.24. Old ages saves us from the realization of a great many fears. (p55)Being old enable we to avoid seeing many unpleasant things happen. Because we are old, we will not live to see a great many things we fear actually happen.25. ……, and she didn’t look lik e Mrs. Humphrey Ward. (p55)……, Mrs. Humphrey Ward looked plain, while she lookedpretty, and her photo on the back of the jacket would help make the book well received by reviewers as well as readers.26. Sometimes you are so evasive I think you don’t want to marry me at all. (p57)evasive: deliberately avoiding the major topic of getting married。

Lesson 1 Sexism in Schoolcation is not a spectator sport. (p3)Education is something that all students should participate in.2.When students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudestoward school, and that positive attitudes enhance learning. (p3)When students participate in classroom discussion they are more inclined to think that going to school is useful, and the positive attitudes facilitate learning.3.It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom and score lower than boyson SATs. (p3)It is not surprising that the two things, namely, girls being more passive in the classroom and scoring lower than boys should be causally related.4.Most teachers claim that girls participate and are called on in class as often as boys. (p4)Most teachers state that girls participate and are asked to speak in class as often as boy.5.But a three-year study we recently completed found that this is not true; vocally, boys clearlydominate the classroom. (p4)Based on a three-year study, we found that this is not true; in terms of oral participation, boys clearly speak much more in classroom.6.When we showed teachers and administrators film of a classroom discussion and asked whowas talking more, the teachers overwhelmingly said the girls were. (p4)When we showed teachers and people responsible for the running of a school a video of a classroom discussion and asked who was talking more, the teachers almost all said the girls were.7.But in reality, the boys in the film were out-talking the girls at a ratio of three to one. (p4)But in reality, the boys in the video were talking more than the girls at a speed of three to one.8.Half of the classroom covered language arts and English-subjects in which girls traditionallyhave excelled; the other half covered math and science --- traditionally made domains. (p5) Half of the classroom covered the skills in using the language for effective communication and literary appreciation. And girls usually do better in these subjects. The other half covered math and science which traditionally belong to male field.9.Our research contradicted the traditional assumption that girls dominate classroomdiscussion in reading, while boys are dominant in math. (p7)Our research denied the truth of the traditional supposition that girls control classroom discussion in reading, while boys control the discussion in math.10.We found that whether the subject was language arts and English or math and science, boysgot more than their fair share of teacher attention. (p7)We found that whether the subject was skills in using the language for effective communication and English or math and science, boys got more teacher attention than is supposed to be fair.11.Some critics claim that if teachers talk more to male students, it is simply because boys aremore assertive in grabbing their attention --- a classic case of the squeaky wheel getting the educational oil.

It was a humiliating thought, but I was probably about hermother’s age. (p26)I agreed with his mother that writing should not be a career, but only a support.

The same type of prettiness could contain weakness and strengthens. (p55)I had wrongly believed that the two young people were a good match for their looks.
