Unit 6 Travel Around the WorldPassage A The Woman Taxi Driver In CairoHer name is Nagat.I first saw her outside Cairo's airport terminal. A woman taxi driver - the only woman, for that matter, among a large crowd of her male counterparts.Do you know what it is like to arrive in a strange city in the middle of the night? Nobody, not even a ray of sunshine is here to greet you. When I walk out of the terminal, I am facing the crowd of taxi drivers milling about in front of every airport the world over. Here in Cairo, it is large and noisy. "Taxi!" "You want taxi?" I hear all round me.I feel a firm hand holding my left arm. "You want taxi, follow me," the woman says. She doesn't ask, she simply pulls me through the crowd. I follow her willingly. There is this moment when a tourist, particularly a woman, simply has to trust someone. We stop at a worn car. It has seen a better day, there are quite a few scrapes on its body, the tires are bald and there is a crack in the windshield. But it is a car for hire, and the woman will personally drive me. I breathe a sigh of relief when she puts my bag into the trunk, locks it and gets behind the wheel. "I will drive you, don't worry," she says.Nagat, as she now explains to me, works as a taxi driver several days and nights a week. She has another job, working in an office, but details of it remain vague. The little old car is not hers; it belongs to a boss from whom she in turn rents it whenever she can. She has been a driver ever since her husband died some ten years earlier and left her with two teenage kids and her parents to support.She knows every nook and cranny in and around Cairo - no easy feat. Cairo with its complex system of streets and lanes, its quarters and markets is like a labyrinth invented by ancient storytellers. Hundreds of mosques - many of which are masterpieces of Islamic architecture, old neighborhoods with houses boxed together, huge apartment buildings on the outskirts and the Nile calmly running through it; all are part of this overcrowded city.With a mild sense of humor around a deep core of understanding of human nature, Nagat takes control of my sightseeing schedule. Every morning punctually at nine o'clock, I can depend on seeing her short, solid frame outside the hotel lobby, her round face turning into a big smile as soon as she sees me coming down the stairs. Most every day, she wears an earth tone-colored Jellaba. Her movements are energetic and she doesn't waste any time. Her determined approach seems to have grown on a bed of economy, onthe necessity to get as much done as she possibly can.What becomes clear to me soon as she drives me from museum to pyramid, from one part of town to the opposite, is this: she is a true exception here. Wherever we stop, be it for a cup of tea during a break or upon arriving at a historical site where her male colleagues gather in the parking area - everywhere, she is being noticed. Men walk up to her in the car with questioning faces. As she tells me, they all have one question first of all: "Are you a taxi driver?" She then explains in a few short sentences, and I see the men's faces soften, smile and respectfully and kindly chat with her. This scene repeats itself over and over again. I get the sense that she invites goodwill from the people she meets.Nagat is proud and independent. One day, as I find her waiting outside a museum, she is just taking a spare tire out of the trunk of the taxi. One of the bald tires had finally gone flat, and she was going to change it herself. Several curious people gather around her and she receives offers of help - but no, she wants no part of that. In her efficient, deliberate manner, she changes the tire, and having done so, washes her hands with bottled water, gets in the taxi and asks "Where to now?"Should you find yourself at Cairo's airport, look for Nagat outside the international arrival hall. If you are lucky, you will have a chance to see Cairo through the eyes of a woman taxi driver.开罗的女出租车司机她叫娜格特。
Unit SixLead-in1 published2 fitness3 support4 leading5 enjoyment6 challenge7 culture8 physical9 goal 10 preparationPassage AThink About It1 Yes, I enjoy it very much. I enjoy watching it because figure skating requires a combination of strength, elegance and grace. We also call it “the ballet on ice.”2 Yes, there are many famous figure skaters in the world. For example, Chen Lu from China, Michelle Kwan from the U.S., Irina Slutskaya from Russia, etc.3 Usually, I would take the difficulties as a challenge and try my best to find ways to overcome them with courage.Read About ItContent AwarenessRead And Think2 Work with your partner and answer the following questions.1 After he won the silver medal, Paul Wylie was regarded as a hero. He suddenly became busy with a lot of activities, such as signing advertising contracts, traveling on figure-skating world tours, being invited to exclusive events, being chased for his autographs by fans, etc.2 It implied that people were dissatisfied with Paul Wylie’s performance and lost confidence in him.3 He answered “daily” because he was undergoing an extremely difficult time in his skating career and it was hard for him to keep going.4 No, he wasn’t. Before winning the silver medal, he was a nobody whose performance at big events was usually unimpressive.5 Open.3 Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.1 F2 T3 F4 T5 T4 Fill in the blanks with the words given below. Change the form where necessary.1 clapped2 defend3 quit4 perfection5 interviewed6 survey7 exclusive8 storage9 observed 10 cover5 Complete the following sentences with phrases or expressions from the passage. Change the form where necessary.1 count…out2 be unaware of3 stopped in his tracks 3 at times 5 turn…around6 Find the words in Passage A according to the clues given. Then make two sentences with each of the words you have found.1He was awarded a medal for his heroic deed of saving a drowning child.Britain’s Olympic team returned from Los Angeles with five gold medals, 11 silver and 21 bronze.2 A free shuttle bus runs between the air terminal and the train station. Many passengers were stuck at the air terminal building because of the foggy weather.3 He merits promotion for his excellence in leadership and management. The committee will decide whether the case merits more serious attention.4 The music band played their routines in every city across the nation. The athlete performed her bold and difficult routines with perfection in the match.5 The sudden rise in oil prices has led to an economic crisis in the country.Relations between the two countries have reached the crisis point after rounds of talks.7 Translate the following sentences into English.1 It’s a difficult job, but I’d like to have a shot.2 This is a book about business practice as opposed to theory.3 Social activities never get in the way of her studies.4 It was not until 1911 that the first of the vitamins was identified.5 Despite advanced years, Grandpa helps do housework every day.8 Read and compare the English sentences, paying attention to theiritalicized parts, and then translate the Chinese sentences by simulating the structure of the English sentences.1 From that moment on, 11-year-old Daniel who played the leading role in the Harry Potter movies recognized that his life would never be the same.2 He was a young man who believed that he will fulfill his dream no matter how many difficulties lie in the way.3 It wasn’t until his wife was killed in the accident that he realized how important she had been in his life.4 With fairy tale book in hand, I always felt I was ushered into a world of beauty and purity.5 Just as an athlete achieves perfection by repeated training of a few actions of the larger routine day after day, a good student should make continuous efforts to improve himself on a regular basis.9 Work in pairs and retell Pa ul Wylie’s story. Then share with each other your own story of persevering and achieving success in spite of difficulties.I’d like to tell a story of my own. I was very poor at English when I was in the middle school. Although I spent a lot of time memorizing the new words, I simply couldn’t keep them in my mind. I thought I had a poor memory and I was not the stuff for it. But fortunately I didn’t give up easily. Hard as it was for me, I kept going. I decided to hang in there.Then one day, suddenly, I found I was not that bad. I got first place in an English contest held in our school. And I got very nice marks in the National College Entrance Examination. I think my success in English learning lies in my perseverance. As long as we persevere, we can reach our goals no matter how difficult they are.10 Write a paragraph of around 80 words arguing that goals can be reached no matter how many obstacles lie in the way. You can support your argument with the example of Paul Wylie or an example from your personal experience.No matter how many obstacles lie in the way, you can reach your goals as long as you don’t give up. To illustrate, look at the story of Paul Wylie, an American figure skater. Paul took part in the 1988 Calgary Olympics and 1991 World Championships, but his performance was so unimpressive that after the ’91 World Championships he was advised to quit. Paul himself had frequently thought of retirement, but he continued anyway. He decided not to give up. At last, his perseverance paid off. He won a silver medal at the 1992 Winter Olympic Games at the age of 27 and became an Olympic hero.Passage BThink About It1 Yes, I have. When I was in middle school, I weighed 72 kilos with a height of 1.60 meters. The doctor advised me to lose weight; otherwise itwon’t be good for my health. So I went on a diet.2 I keep fit by going swimming, playing badminton or football, etc.3 I usually eat foods with low calories and fat, and have more vegetables and fruit. And at the same time I go jogging at least three times a week.Read About ItContent AwarenessRead And Think11 Work with your partner and answer the following questions.1 The narrator started to reflect seriously on her weight-loss efforts when she caught her reflection in the mirror at her friend’s New Year’s Eve party.2 She had to combine her love for cooking with healthful eating.3 She felt she was in tune with her body and herself.4 She published a book of low-fat recipes and ran workshops and seminars on healthful eating.5 Open.12 Choose the best answer to each question with the information from the passage.1 B2 C3 B4 D5 C13 Fill in the blanks with the words given below.
