I would not know whether the student submitting th e work was the same person who registered for the course.Online teaching also required rethinking how I deliver the subject matter. Withou t face-to-face communication, can I, via computer, make the students feel the same ki nd of enthusiasm and appreciate my sense of humor?My shy daughter’s experience proved to be very inspiring. She never spoke in cl ass, but in the two online courses she took, she dived into discussions and posted her opinions.The online course began and things ran better than I had expected. The students all followed the directions well, and the discussion board was lively. I’ve never met a ny of my students but I got to know them by their work and I saw their learning attitudes develop before my eyes.I found that online education worked best with students who were vcomfortable with the computer and willing to become part of a community built around the subject matter. And it required teachers to be willing to help build that sense of community a nd make the students feel the teacher was always there.UNIT 2WORD1)He was merely a boy;I wouldn't have expected him to understand those abstract formulas.2)Though leading a frugal life,Charles is very generous,contributing time and money to a number of charitable organizations.3)He wasn't the sort of person who kept things for sentimental reasons;he threw them away immediately after use.4)The fire had destroyed most the building,but we managed to salvage a few valuable items.5)He was looking through a pile of old newspaper clippings for the report on the 100th anniversary of the university.6)Reclining in a comfortable chair,David idly flipped through a sports magazine.7)How can you expect an 'A' for this course when you turn in an essay as sloppy as this?8)The project needs to be meticulously planned as we have a tight deadline and only a limited budget.EXPRESSION1)Due to the cleaners strike,the rubbish in my house had been left unattended for days and it began to pile up against the wall.2)I was thinking of giving away those baby clothes of my daughter's,but for sentimental reasons I couldn't bring myself to part with them.3)First apply shampoo to your hair and leave the shampoo for two minutes,then rinse it off with warm water.4)After months of preparation,Kate and her parter finally set up their own printing business.5)I put forward a number of suggestions to improve working efficiency,but the management just toyed with ideas for a while and then rejected them.6)When questioned about the high oil price at present,nearly all interviewees claimed they had been forced to cut down fuel and many reported inconvenience in their lives.7)Have you finished with scissor?We're waiting to have our paper-cutting done.8)Buried in mounds of files,I just wanted to get the whole thing over with sooner so that I could go away and enjoy my holiday with all my heart.9)The global financial crisis is cutting a swath through the country's economy,with companies going bankrupt and individuals cutting down on their expenditure.10)Paul is an easy-going fellow at heart though sometimes he is very harsh and strict with his students.CLOZEThe distinction between neat people and sloppy people boils down to this:neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people.For one thing,neat people are bums and clods at heart.They like results and do not care about process.Instead of carrying in their mind's eye a heavenly vision,they just handle everything once and for all and everything that is of no immediate use goes into the trash can.They are incredibly wasteful and put neatness before all else,even economics.By contrast,sloppy people take pains to develop ambitions plans.They may not be neat now but someday they will straighten out the world.Besides,neat people have cavalier attitudes toward everything,including such possessions as family heirlooms.And they are especially vicious with mail.They throw ads catalogs,and coupons into the trash can without opening them.They are so insensitive that people,animals,and things are all one to them.They would toy with the idea of throwing the children out of the house just to cut down on the clutter.On the other hand,sloppy people give loving attention to their possessions and find it impossible to part with anything.TRANSLATIONSloppy people are not really sloppy. It is just that the plan they carry in their mind’s eye is too precise, too stupendous and too perfect to be achieved in this world or the next. They aim too high and wide. They save everything, planning someday to file and order. When they finally set about handling things, sloppy people just can’t bear to part with anything. After hours of work, the place looks exactly the same. So sloppy never get neat.Neat people place neatness above everything else. They like results and don’t care about process. They have cavalier attitudes toward possessions. If anything collects dust, it’s got to go. They are incredibly wasteful. Anything that is not ofimmediate use goes into the trash. They are insensitive and there is no sentimental salvaging of birthday cards or the last letter a dying relative ever wrote. Neat peopleoperate on two unvarying principles: Never handle any item twice, and throw everythi ng away. So the only thing messy in a neat person’s house is the trash can.So neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people. The distinction betwee n them is moral.UNIT 3WORD1)Every year George gives his wife Gigi a huge bunch of red roses on her birthday.2)I tried to give up smoking several times before I realized I was addicted to it.3)Young people who abuse drugs regularly often end up as very immature adults because they never learn to cope with their problems.4)After long separation we finally had a family reunion where I saw relatives I hadn't seen for 20 years.5)He catches cold easily because his body's immune system is suppressed by the virus.6)His words have sown the seeds of suspicion in our minds and we are going tore-examine the evidence he has given in court.7)Miss Walker's father had gone bankrupt owing to a failed business venture with his dishonest partners.8)The invention of modern appliances such as washing machines and plug-in conveniences has liberated women from household chores and enabled them to enter the workforce.9)The Smiths adopted a poor little girl who had been starved of affection since her parents died in an accident.10)According to official statistics,there are 58 deaths per 1000 children born in that remote area of the country.EXPRESSION1)A reputation for quality,coupled with very competitive prices,has made these cars very popular.2)Many officials have been wondering aloud about the Prime Minister's competence in handling the current financial crisis.3)You can lose five pounds a week on this diet.And best of all,you never have to feel hungry.4)The doctor advised those with heart problems to put a first-aid kit close at hand the time.5)Several times it had crossed his mind to check on the car,but he never actually did it.6)I'm not going to sit by and watch a man go to prison for something I've done. CLOZETobacco smoking has been a popular practice for centuries.The tobacco industry,coupled with Hollywood movie in which both hero and heroine puff away,has successfully established a glamorous image of smokers.As a result,people take up smoking with the illusion of looking either dapper or fashionable and most ofthem end up hopelessly addicted to cigarettes.In some Third World countries,as in American ghettos and on reservations,money that should be spent for food goes instead to the tobacco companies.Indeed,smoking is nothing but self-poisoning,and watching their loved ones dying of smoking,family members are often overwhelmed with a feeling of futility.Meanwhile,we must feel empathy for the tobacco plant itself.Though for centuries the plant has been venerated by Native Americans as a sacred medicine to heal wounds and cure diseases,it has been captured and abused to enslave the world.And with its true nature suppressed,the tobacco plant has become deadly.Indeed,we should redeem tobacco's soul,restore its self-respect right away and promote the slogan:"Every home a smoke-free zone."TRANSLATIONHer daughter smoked and she felt a deep hurt as her mother. She remembered ho w as a child she sat by, through the years, and watched her father, who smoked like a chimney, wheeze through most of his life feeling half his strength, and she remembere d how carefully she ate when she was pregnant, how patiently she taught her daughter how to cross a street safely. She had a feeling of futility when she saw her daughter r epeating the mistake of her grandfather.She did not want to see in the family another victory for the tobacco companies, but she was faced with powerful rivals: the tobacco industry and Hollywood. The two collaborated to win over completely people like her father and made them hopelessly addicted to cigarettes.It is not easy to quit smoking, but things may become easier of smokers realize th at smoking is s form of self-battering that also batters those who must sit by, and if we can really make “every home a smoke-free zone.”UNIT 4WORD1)Smart and hardworking,Germen seemed destined for a successful career ahead.2)At 31,Peggy feels trap in the boring job of an office secretary and she has a yearning to escape.3)Yesterday a storm blasted the Florida coast with 75 m.p.h.winds and left two tourists missing.4)The couple hardly ever reach an agreement---their conversations often erupt into quarrels and shouting.5)The ballet company's new performance successfully blended tradition and creative innovation,which won great admiration from critics.6)Repeated exam failures had eroded her confidence and exerted an influence onher---she started to skip classes more often.7)Ever since our secretary resigned,our office has been in a state of total chaos.8)Parents are usually inclined to impose their own moral values on theirchildren,which might bring on rebellion from teenagers.9)Some fathers are jealous of the attention a newborn baby receives from its mother,even if they won't admit it.10)I have this strong yearning for open spaces from having lived in a crowed city for too many years.EXPRESSION1)The result of the survey is quite alarming---half the marriages in this country end in divorce.2)Being addicted to betting on horses,he had gambled away most of his inheritance by the time he was thirty.3)We cooked too much for lunch and had to take what was left over for supper.4)Many companies are now suffering from a chronic shortage of funds brought on in recent years by the financial crisis.5)She didn't quarrel with her husband when she found out about his infidelity,but her annoyance showed itself in her look.6)Inflation nibbles away at people's savings and reduces their value considerably.7)To show my affection for the little girl,I bent down and tried to kiss her on the forehead,but she pulled away in time,which made me rather embarrassed.8)As the advancing soldiers closed in on the town,people started running into the underground shelters for safety.CLOZEThe causes for marital despair are varied.Some marriages fail because of the outside weather:pressures such as job loss,illness,care of aging parents and all the other plagues of life may harshly hit marriage.Some other marriages fail because of a changed inner climate.At the tender beginnings of romance,each of us selects with unconscious accuracy a mate who will recreate with us the emotional patterns of our first homes,a mate who will help us rediscover both the psychological happiness and miseries of our past lives.And all marriages rely on the basic myth of meaning everything to each other,of merging together and solving all of life'sproblems.Yet,realities of life erode the visions of marital bliss.Now many marriages fall apart because those in the commitment are unwilling to exercise theself-discipline that marriage requires.Besides,an essential element for a good marriage,i.e.,communication between partners,is often missing.TRANSLATIONMarriage has always been difficult. Why has it become so hard for couples to sta y together in today’s society?On the one hand, our modern social fabric is thin, and the permissiveness of soci ety has created unrealistic expectations and thrown the family into chaos. On the other hand, marriage requires sexual, financial and emotional discipline, but people today a re unwilling to exercise the self-discipline that marriage requires. Besides, couples tod ay must also deal with all the cultural changes brought on in recent years by the wome n’s movement and sexual revolution. These and other realities of life erode the visions of marital bliss. If we lack adaptability, flexibility, genuine love and kindness, and an imagination strong enough to feel what the other is feeling, if we cannot bring difficu lties out into the open, then marriage may come to the end of the road.Of course, divorce id not an evil act. For some people, it provides salvation and it can be a step toward a good life. However, marriages that do not fail but improve, tha t persist despite imperfections, offer a wondrous shelter for our mutual humanity. UNIT 5WORD1)The police are constantly searching for new ways of steering young people away from criminal activities.2)The audience were thrown into a panic after a bomb exploded in the theatre.3)He explained later that he had refrained from commenting on hisopponents'anti-constitutional claims in order to avoid open confrontation at the meeting.4)Corporate executives should not be given the right to intrude into employees'private lives by monitoring their phone calls.5)To protect intellectual property rights,the governments is making a great effort to unify the KTV system in karaoke bars.6)As the factory is faced with the danger of being shut down,many workers are suffering from an inner sense of desperation.7)It is totally nonsense to assert that smoking can help prevent bird flu or swine flu.8)The bus was already full up but the old lady managed to squeeze in.9)Using too many pieces of electrical equipment at once may overload the circuit and cause power cut or fire.10)Despite all the treatment he has had over the past few months,Ashby is still suffering from skin rashes and recurring respiratory problems.EXPRESSION1)As I was shopping one day,a girl mistook me for the well-known actor Jackie Chan and asked for my autograph.2)The box has been left unattended in the cellar for years,and it came apart as we tried to lift it up.3)The government promised to the public that they shall keep close watch on the latest developments in relation to the disease.4)I can put up with your room being cluttered with paintings and prints,but I hate it if it's not clean.5)To prepare food for the elderly,make sure to cut out the fat and bone before you cook the meat.6)The pain of losing his only daughter still sweeps over him in waves though it has been two years since the traffic accident occurred.7)The people who got hurt in the collision were rushed to the only hospital in the vicinity of the scene of the accident.8)Detectives were searching the scene of the crime closely,being careful enough not to leave any details out.9)For some days he had been mulling over the new plan,trying to come up with something more constructive.10)According to the latest survey,only 5% of American adults engage in regular annual physical check-ups,which health scientists consider quite worrying.11)All of your achievements for the week should be gathered up in a ten-minute talk with the manager every Friday.12)Of the 88 locomotives on this railroad line,35 are out of commission,either awaiting repairs or being replaced.CLOZEWhen your mind is out of commission,desperation writing can help you write something usable.The first thing is to admit your condition:for some reason,your mind is incapable of considering anything in relation to anything else though it can put a simple feeling or perception into understandable words.Then try to write as much as possible.Don't refrain from writing about whatever that is on your mind.When you feel you have enough of it,read over what you wrote and every time you come to anything that could be squeezed into one sentence or one assertion,write it by itself on a little slip of paper.After you have done this,play solitaire with those littleslips,shifting them around and looking through in various sequences and getting them to distribute themselves in different piles.Often at this point,your sanity begins to return.And then you can finally come up with something workable. TRANSLATIONDo you have this lingering doubt that you won’t be able to write something when you need to? Do you feel it’s like a constant fog or static that clouds the mind and yo u can never get out of its clutches?As a matter of fact, it is possible to write something ---- not something great or pleasing but at least something usable, workable ---- when your mind is out of commission.The trick is to do all your cooking out on the table because your mind is incapable of doing any inside.Try simply to steer your mind in the direction or general vicinity of the thing you are trying to write about and start writing and keep writing. Be as loose, drifting, quirky and jerky as possible when you write. Don’t think about what you are writing or what you have written or else you will overload the circuit again.Then take some little pieces of paper and simply read over from the beginning of what you wrote, and see if you can gather up something useful into one sentence and write it by itself on a little sheet of paper. Then, read through the little slips of paper a number of times and build a relationship among them until they get into different piles. At this point, you find you can finally begin to think, and that lab report which has been occupying your mind is no longer unreachable.。

Before Korean students take university entrance tests, their friends give them sticky rice candy for luck. The friends hope that the students will pass the test and "stick to" the university. The following short conversations will tell you about different customs in China, Argentina, Switzerland, Italy and Japan.Number 1: ChinaWoman: Did I tell you I'm going to China?Man: China? Great.Woman: Yes. I'm going to Shanghai on business. I have to buy some gifts.Man: Good idea. What are you going to take?Woman: I was thinking of bringing some handkerchiefs. They're colorful, beautiful? also lightweight. I don't want to carry anything heavy.Man: Ah, I don't think you should give handkerchiefs. They aren't a good gift in Chinese culture.Woman: Why not?Man: A handkerchief is a symbol of saying goodbye.Woman: Saying goodbye?Man: Yeah, like when you're going away ... and people are crying, so they need a handkerchief. Actually, I've heard that one of the best things to give is a dinner -- not a present, but a big dinner. It's good for business.Number 2: ArgentinaWoman: This is interesting. Did you know that in Argentina you should never give clothing unless you know the person really well?Man: Don't give clothing? Why not?Woman: Clothing -- even things like ties -- are too personal. Only good friends give them. Man: Huh? I never thought of a tie as being personal ... just uncomfortable. What should you bring?Woman: I don't know. Maybe something for the house.Number 3: SwitzerlandMan: We're meeting Mr. Mertz and his wife for dinner. Maybe I should take flowers or something ... Yeah, I'll pick up some red roses.Woman: You'd better not give them roses. In Switzerland, they could be a symbol of love and romance.Man: Oh, I didn't know that.Woman: I think candy or chocolate might be better.Number 4: ItalyWoman: I'd like some flowers. Uh ... those. About ten, I guess.Man: Ma'am, I don't think you should give ten flowers. In Italy, even numbers -- 2, 4, 6, andso on -- are bad luck.Woman: Even numbers are bad luck? OK, I'll take nine flowers then.Number 5: JapanWoman: May I help you?Man: I'm going to stay with a family in Japan. I need to get something for them.Woman: Pen sets are always a good gift.Man: Oh, that's a good idea. Let's see ... There are sets with a pen and pencil ... and bigger sets with four pens.Woman: You said you're going to Japan?Man: Yeah.Woman: Don't give a set of four pens -- in fact, don't give four of anything.Man: Why not?Woman: The Japanese word for "four" sounds like the word for "death." It's bad luck.Man: Thanks for telling me. I'll take the pen and pencil set.Woman: Good choice. These sets make very good gifts. After all, pens write in any language! Man: Uh ... yeah.

The three incidents that are treated expansively in this essay are related to one another by their implicit messages—the author made mistakes and her reaction toward the mistakes. It was in this process that the author achieved significant insight into life and herself.Rhetorical features of the text“I knew everyone would stare. Forget it. I settled into my chair and tried to assume the scientific pose of a biology major, bending slightly forward, tensing my arms in preparation for furious note-taking, and cursing under my breath”(Paragraph 5).“Keeping myself upright and getting out of the mess was not going to be easy, and this flailing of my feetwas doing no good. Just as I decided to try another maneuver, my food tray tipped and I lost my balance”(Paragraph 6). The italicized parts in the selections offer vivid pictures of what she did or how she looked in the embarrassing situations. VocabularyI. Explain words1.

What she did puzzled me and changed everything in my life, though I never shed a tear. My dad did what he could to keep our life as normal as possible,prompting us to remain grateful to God. The revisiting of the memory of my mom during my senior year of high school made me understand that I neededto grieve my mom so that I could move on to a new chapter of my life. I couldn’t find anyone to whom to discharge my emotions until I participated in Kathy Rudy’s Baldwin Scholars freshman seminar in Duke, where I learned to let go of my mother and was able to make sense of some of the things in my life. Notice of the speculation of my mother’s death left me shockingly unaffected, for the grief and the pressures imposed upon my life by my mom were already released. The whole issue taught me that people need to deal with the past by understanding it,then leaving it behind, and most importantly,acknowledging pain as an opportunity for growth.Reading and DiscussingLanguage in Use4.1) proclaim2) scar3) speculation4) discharging5) clarity6) contacted7) compromise8) grieved9) affirmed10) prompted5.1) If you don’t know what you want, you might end up with something you don’t want.2) It is the time of year when the island nations of the Caribbean normally expect their hotels and beaches to be crammed with sun-seekers.3) I can teach you about kindness, but I cannot impose graciousness on/upon you.4) When parents find it hard to let go of bitterness or anger, or if they are depressed about the changes brought on by divorce, they can find help from a counselor or therapist.5) As the preferred candidate for this job he has no shortcoming other than his lack of experience.6.in hand（在手头；在掌控中）a long the way（一路上；沿途）by hand（用手）on the way to …（在去……的路上）at hand（在手边）in the way（妨碍人的；挡道的）on hand（现有；在现场）out of the way（偏远的）by the way（顺便说说）under way（进行中）1) in hand2) by hand3) on hand4) at hand5) along the way6) out of the way7) in the way8) on the way to9) By the way10) under way7.For referencefirm reaffirm; infirm; affirmantspec; spect suspect; aspect; respect; spectacle; retrospect; perspective claim; clam declaim; clamor; disclaimpose dispose; compose; oppose; proposestru; struct structure; instruct; reconstructfac; fic, fact; fect e ffect; infect; defect; factory; factorsci scientific; scientist; prescienceport import; portable; support; reportceed; ced; cess succeed; process; procedurevert; vers invert; revert; diverse; vertical; extrovert; introverttract distract; subtract1) B2) A3) A4) A5) A6) C7) A8) C8.1) 在哭闹了5分钟之后，我最终妥协了，心想如果明天妈妈一大早就来接我，那我现在就进去。
