People like flowers for their attractive shapes, wonderful colors, and delightful fragrance. People use flowers to express their deepest feeling. For more than 50,000 years people have placed flowers on the graves of loved ones as a sign of remembrance and respect. Flowers are also used at weddings to symbolize love, faithfulness, and long life. Certain flowers also have a religious meaning. Among Christians, for example, the white Easter lily stands for purity. Buddhists regard the lotus, which is a type of water lily, as a sacred flower.

A recent study of American public schools showed there is a cultural bias in education that favors boys over girls. The bias is unintentional and unconscious, but it is there nevertheless, and it is influencing the lives of millions of schoolchildren every year. From nursery school to postgraduate courses, teachers were shown to call on males in class far more than on female students. This behavior has a great impact on the learning process, for in general, those students who become active classroom participants develop more positive attitudes and go on to higher achievement.

Auction is a sale at which people bid for articles being sold. An auctioneer conducts the sale and receives the bids. In conducting the sale, the auctioneer usually acts as an agent for the seller, although he or she may also have an interest in the goods offered. The auctioneer divides the property to be sold into "lots". Either through a spoken announcement or printed catalog, the auctioneer describes the lots and outlines the legal and financial conditions for the auction. In the English system of auction, the auctioneer begins at a low price and participants keep raising their bids until the highest bid has been reached.

Complete the following dialogues.
1) Mary: What do you think of that picture?
Jason: I‘m not really sure what to say about the picture. I can never understand modern art.
Mary: There‘s no doubt that it is horrid. I think a child of 5 years old can do better than that.
Jason: Maybe you are right. The painter might well dump layers of paint onto the canvas.
2) Sue: Well, what‘s wrong with the TV?
Emily: I can‘t say for certain. I just can‘t get a clear picture.
Sue: Do you think it is possible there‘s somethi ng wrong with the antenna?
Emily: Probably. The exterior antenna must have been moved by yesterday‘s snowstorm.
3) Jessica: Fred, are you going to the party tonight?
Fred: Definitely! To tell you the truth, I‘m one of the organizers of the party. What about you?
Jessica: Perhaps.
Fred: Only perhaps?
Jessica: Yeah, I am in two minds about it.
Fred: Why? You are quite a party lover, I know.
Jessica: I think there is a possibility Prof. Smith will give us a quiz on Chapter V tomorrow.
Fred: Relax. It is impossible that we will have a quiz tomorrow. Prof. Smith will attend our party too.
4) Christine: Who‘s the woman talking with our dean? She looks rather familiar.
Fanny: She‘s Miss Mason, a new foreign teacher in the Department of Foreign Languages.
Christine: Are you sure who she is?
Fanny: Yes, I‘m absolutely sure who she is. I attended her lecture this morning. She is terrific.
5) Bob: I‘m told that Christians believe in life after death. Do you believe it?
Billy: Yes, I‘m quite convinced about it. The Bible says so and the church says so too.
Bob: Is there any doubt in your mind about this being true? No one can prove there is life after death yet. I‘m rather doubtful about it.
Billy: No one can prove there is no life after death, either.
6) Jack: In your prediction, who will be elected monitor?
Jim: There‘s no question that Joseph will win.
Jack: Positively? There is still some doubt in my mind about who will be elected monitor.
Jim: I have no doubt about it. Joseph is bound to win the election. He is generous and always ready to help others. Almost everyone in the class likes him very much. Jack: But he doesn‘t study very hard. He often hands in his homework behind schedule and is always late for classes. I think the likelihood of his being elected is slim.
Jim: Nonsense! Who do you think will be elected except Joseph?
Jack: Maybe Carol.
Jim: Carol? That bashful little girl? Not a chance!
Jack: I think there is a good chance she will win. She is the top student in the class and every teacher likes her.
Jim: I bet there is no chance that Carol will be elected. She is only a bookworm. She doesn‘t even know how to organize a class meeting.
7) Police officer: Are you absolutely sure that it was around 11:00 when the accident occurred?
Eyewitness A: Yes, absolutely sure!
Eyewitness B: There‘s no question about it. We left work at 10:50 and had
driven for only about 10 minutes when we saw the accident.
Police officer: Did you see what kind of car hit the old lady?
Eyewitness A: Certainly. It was a yellow taxi.
Eyewitness B: I can't say for certain it was a taxi or not because of the dim streetlight. What I‘m sure is it was going very fast, er, without headlights.
Police officer: The car didn‘t stop or slow down after it hit the woman? Eyewitness A: Definitely not! In fact, it sped up and flew away.
Police officer: Did you happen to get a look at the driver?
Eyewitness A: As far as I can recall, the driver was a young white man with long hair.
Eyewitness B: He also had a beard.
Police officer: Sure?
Eyewitness A: Sure! I‘m quite positive about it. The car came towards us and we happened to see his face clearly.
Police officer: Could you tell me anything about his body frame?
Eyewitness A: It‘s hard to tell. He wore a big loose T-shirt. He appeared thin. I‘m not really sure about it.
Eyewitness B: No, he was rather heavy.
Police officer: Did you by any chance notice the license plate number of the car? Eyewitness A & B: It‘s dark and the car rushed by fast, so it is impossible that we
can see the plate number.

Dictation
You see, dollars, francs, pounds, are all different currencies. Some are strong, others are weak, and they all vary. In order for international trade to take place, countries have to buy and sell foreign currency. This is done on the foreign exchange market.
The value of a currency on the foreign exchange market changes frequently and the price at which money can be exchanged at a particular time is called the exchange rate. There are always problems of foreign exchange if the exchange rate changes suddenly. If one currency rises or falls against another, the change can cause losses. The changes in the exchange rate are influenced by many factors.

Treating disease by bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing or hydrotherapy (水治疗法) , first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700’s also became popular in the United States. For many years frequent bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to be clean was avoided and perfume was often used to cover up body smells! By the 1770’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be cleaned. Slowly people began to bathe more frequently.

商务英语阅读教学浅论 " 论文关键词：英语阅读；商务英语；教学 论文摘要：英语阅读是语言教学中的重要活动，阅读教学开展的成功与否很大程度上影响着综合运用英语的能力。商务英语阅读更是如此。商务英语阅读是一种特殊的阅读，它不仅是基础英语阅读的延伸，更是商务知识的获取过程。 商务英语阅读教学，一是阅读教学，即教师指导学生掌握各种阅读技能，从而逐步提高理解能力和阅读速度，在增进语感的基础上提高实际运用语言的能力；二是商务知识教学，即以语言为载体，以阅读为手段，把核心的商务内容放在其中，通过引导学生阅读商务文体的语篇实现其对商务知识的掌握，以满足未来就业的需求和社会发展的需要。 一、从制约因素来看商务英语教学 （一）阅读方法不当 1、有声阅读。在课堂中往往有学生不自觉地在阅读过程中发出声音，
结果导致阅读速度很慢，而且“读”往往把学生的部分注意力转移到了读音等其他方面，影响阅读的有效性。 2、追求逐字逐句的理解。很多学生都在阅读过程中要求自己对每个字句的意思都能有清楚的理解，其结果往往不但影响阅读速度和效率，更增强自己的挫折感，不利于以后阅读的开展。 3、经常回读课文。不少学生经常在阅读过程中，不断反复的回视上文，导致信息输入的不连贯和混乱，常常影响对文章整体意思的理解。（二）词汇量制约 商务英语阅读区别于普通阅读的是：在商务英语阅读的过程中，往往会出现较多的经贸等方面专业术语或半专业术语，，一些普通阅读中的核心词意思也可能会发生改变或者语篇中会出现一些日常生活不常用的专业术语，这使的很多学生方寸大乱，不知道该怎么阅读。（三）相关专业知识的匮乏 在给出专业术语和其他生词注解的情况下，学生仍然读不好；而对一篇包含较简单、接近生活的商务内容的文章，即使里面有一些术语或其他生词，学生也能理解得较好。可见学生阅读能力低还牵扯到了背景知识问题，即相关专业知识的问题。 二、从教学方法上探讨商务英语阅读教学 从众多问题的暴露中不难看出，商务英语阅读需要从阅读方法和阅读内容上双管齐下。以下是笔者在探究性实践基础上，总结所得到的
