大英四期末考试背诵内容用的是谷歌翻译，有些中文意思稍微有点出入第四单元课文翻译：5.Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarilya characteristic of high intelligence.Just because a person is highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce original ideas that are good for something.创造力不是一种与生俱来的东西，也不一定是高智力的一个特征。

仅仅因为一个人是很聪明的，并不意味着他创造性地使用它。

创造力是使用资源的问题，一个必须产生原创的想法，是有益的东西6.Unfortunately, schools have not tended to promote creativity. With strong emphasis on test scores and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators sacrifice creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can't recognize ways to apply it to new situations. They may know their multiplication tables, for example, but they are unable to apply them to story problems不幸的是，学校并没有倾向于促进创造力。

In my dream, I transferred my major 11 literature to business, and after graduation I found a well-paid job. Every day I worked hard and finally 12 in the sharp competition, and soon I became very wealthy and life was filled with various social activities; I went to expensive restaurants, or attended concerts and parties; life seemed perfect to me. However, soon I was bored, and deep in my mind, I felt lost. I couldn‟t 13 why, but only felt that something needed to be done. Great emptiness, sometimes fear, made me sick. In a scream I 14 to reality, remaining sleepless the rest of the night. I was puzzled why, in the dream, I couldn‟t continue my comfortable life, and what on earth I wanted 15 this. I couldn‟t help asking: “What do we live for?” At that moment I thought of my ideal of being a well-known scholar, rather than a successful businessman. 16 once I imagined one day I stood on the platform in a university classroom, lecturing to the earnest students. Their wholehearted applause made me extremely happy, for I had 17 my social value. This sense of fulfillment can 18 be replaced by money.

They do not only contain the bearer‟s name, profession and title, but also the address, telephone number, postal code, e-mail address and other useful 25 _and personal data. To a foreign friend, we should remember to present a card 26__with an English version or the one written in English, because most English speakers don‟t have competence in reading Chinese. In most 27 ,a Chinese name is hard to pronounce for our foreign friends. So you should make it as 28 as possible in the introduction. Probably, you may give them your family name only.

When we compare (1) the life of a man who does no reading with that of a man who does, we can understand (2) why he thinks so.Generally, one who does not have the habit of reading is limited (3) to contact and conversation with a few friends and acquaintances (4), and he sees only what happens in his immediate neighborhood. But the moment he takes up a book, he immediately enters (5) a different world. If it happens to be a good book, he is immediately put in touch (6) with one of the best talkers of the world. This talker leads him into a different country or a different age, even discusses with him some special (7) line or aspect of life that the reader knows nothing about.Lin agrees with Huang Shanku, a Sung poet (8), in that reading gives a man a certain charm and flavor, which is the entire object (9) of reading, and only reading with this object can be called an art. One does not understand the art of reading if he forces (10) himself to read.According to Huang Shanku, the key to reading is to cultivate (11) people's personal charm of appearance and flavor in speech. Whether one has "flavor" or not inhis talk depends (12) on his method of reading. If a reader gets the flavor of books, he will show that flavor in his conversations, and if he has flavor in his conversations, he will also have a flavor in his writing.Reading is an act consisting (13) of two sides, the author and the reader. The net gain comes as much from the reader's contribution (14) through his own insight and experience as from the author's own. The most critical event in one's intellectual(15) development is to find his favorite author. If one cannot find one, he will fail to get any good out of reading.P218-219 Translation1.Under the circumstances of promoting socialist market economy in China, it is necessary to strengthen the management of accounting information quality.2. Professor Lin cited the stories about/of Washington and Lincoln to show the importance of honesty/being honest.3.People living in desert don’t have enough water to drink, let alone use water to irrigate land.4. Doctor Wang has the habit of making/taking notes in the margin when (he is) reading.5.It is interesting that as time goes, some words which fell into disuse may sometimes revive with new meanings.7. College students should be brave enough to face all the difficulties in their lives, and overcome them with confidence.8. The sanitary conditions of the area have deteriorated to such an extent that there is danger of diseases at any time.9.Extensive investigation and interview put Miss Smith in touch with people of the country and their lifestyles.10.

He contends that the purpose of an inclusive globalization lies (2) not only in opening markets but in expanding opportunity and promoting (3) cooperation.Annan appeals to us to tear down the walls in our own minds (4) so that we are able to recognize (5) the untold ways in which we can all benefit (6) from cooperation and solidarity across lines of nationality, race or economic (7) development. He holds that the poor, the disenfranchised or those who are denied (8) basic right to liberty and self-determination cannot continue to be excluded (9). Otherwise, no country can hope to secure lasting peace and prosperity (10).Annan believes that nations can act on this imperative (11) by opening markets for the products of developing countries; by increasing development assistance (12); by promoting good and transparent governance; by tackling diseases and environmental problems; by recognizing obligations to provide asylum; by fostering (13) a more orderly process of integrating migrants; and by valuing pluralism as a top priority for every state.Annan maintains that dialogue can triumph (14) over discord, that diversity is a universal virtue, and that the peoples of the world are far more united by their common fate than they are divided by their separate (15) identities. This dialogue must take place within and between civilizations, cultures and groups.P252-253 Translation1.Those people yearn for the days in the past because they don't think they can benefit from the current policies.2.Terrorists will make no distinction between races, nations or regions when they carry out acts of terror.3. The invention of paper was one of the great contributions of Ancient China to human civilization, and we should take pride of it.4.The teacher suggested that the students analyze these problems in a different light so as to find a solution as soon as possible.5.In recent years, some developed countries have been robbing developing countries of their natural resources in the name of globalization.6.Legal English is a special register of English. Its distinctive features distinguish it from literary language and other practical style.7.The company cashed in on its rivals’ difficulties by doubling its investment in this area/region.8.When he wrote The Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson was firm in the belief that all men were created equal.9.He has served the public heart and soul for many years, regardless of his personal gain or loss.10.Experts has long been concerned about the implications of population growth for economic development of the world.This modern lifeAs is shown in the above picture, people sit in front of the computer day and night. Even in their dreams they’re still playing computer games. Such thought-provoking phenomenon is, especially among young people, prevail ing in our modern life.It’s true that the computer has brought great convenience to our modern life. However, as is illustrated in the picture, the overuse of it may lead to several bad consequences. To begin with, there is evidence that long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted from computers may cause many health problems, like insomnia, headaches, and even cancer. In addition, when people immerse himself in the world of computer, they tend to pay less attention to the surroundings, and excessive use of the computer means much less chance of face-to-face interactions with people who populate their real lives.In conclusion, while computers have contribute a lot to making our life more convenient, we should use them appropriately.Parents’ Role in Their Children’s GrowthThe picture jumping into my sight is extremely compelling. We can observe from it that there is a hot debate going on about parents' role in children's growth between mother and her daughter saying that "I was accepted to the college of your choice" In line with my personal thinking, children should realize that correct roads ought to be a must in learning by themselves rather than parents.Recently, children are always considered as the apple of parents' eye, which is particularly true in modern families with an only child in china. That is to say, it is high time that we should take some positive and effective actions to cope with it. For parents, they should keep a close watch on the instruction social skills, focusing on independent thinking and feasible methods to their kids. For children, without any help of parents, we must learn more for the job and future life, be a man having a sharp and imaginative mind with different knowledge.From my perspective as a college student, independent thinking, rather than parents' mind, may bring to us many advantages, such as encouraging us to take an active part in social practice and putting more pressures on youngsters to improve abilities. Only by doing so can we have access to a satisfactory result.。
