1) Jim Doherty may not be a born farmer , but he gets buy without too much trouble. Not that he has had it easy. That first hard winter he faced must have left him with the temptation to give up and go back to the city. But he managed to get through it without losing heart. He’s picked up a lot of skills since then and made some real improvements to his farm, though without much laborsaving machinery aside from that old rotary cultivator. I suspect he doesn’t make all that much, though he does have his writing to supplement what little profit he makes from the farm. I guess he does it primarily for the quality of life. Certainly, they seem a happy family and you can often see them out working together, one day spraying apple trees, the next stacking firewood.2) The underground Railroad was forged by the efforts of those who were prepared to fight against slavery and stand up for the long-suffering Southern black Americans. Some of those who helped to transport slaves to the north and freedom were former slaves themselves. Others felt compelled to take part because of their deeply held convictions . For many of those involved, liberating the slaves from those who exploited them because a mission . While their eventual goal was to abolish slavery completely, in the meantime they were intent on helping to free as many slaves as possible, often at considerable risk . In the eyes of slave owners, they were dangerous enemies and frequently received death threats3) Statistics show that crime in rural areas is now rising faster than in the cities. The era when the countryside stood for safety and secutity has long gong. No longer is it safe anywhere to go out leaving the door on the latch . We all feel vnlnerable and seek to strengthen the barriers we use to hold criminals at bay . These can range from old fashioned bolts and bars to the latest electronic devices. A moment’s reflection ,however ,is enough to bring us face to face with the following puzzle : we may have locked the evils out,but in doing so we have locked ourselves in . this hardly seems a civilized way of life.5) Alex Haley was at sea when he started thinking how best he could mark Thanksgiving . Turning over the meaning of the holiday in his mind , he came to reverse the order of the words and go to thinking about giving thanks . How , he wondered , could he repay those who had been so helpful to him in the past ? It seemde to him that the best way he could express his gratitude would be to write to them . For too long he had gone about without troubling to tell them how much he appreciated all that they had done for him . Before long he had assembled pen and paper and was immersed in writing . Not long after the ship reached port , unloading its cargo together with his letters . The replies were not swift in arriving , but when they did , he found them deeply moving .（1）I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don't entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.The other requirement is energy -- a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on along list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom.In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U. S. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And it's about time. For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intent on telling their stories.It has been replaced by dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires hooked up to a police station or private guard firm. Many suburban families have sliding glass doors on their patios, with steel bars elegantly built in so no one can pry the doors open.It is not uncommon, in the most pleasant of homes, to see pasted on the windows small notices announcing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company. The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child's bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it.The Reverend Nelson wrote that his decades as a "simple, old-fashioned principal" had ended with schools undergoing such swift changes that he had retired in self-doubt. "I heard more of what I had done wrong than what I did right," he said, adding that my letter had brought him welcome reassurance that his career had been appreciated.A glance at Grandma's familiar handwriting brought back in a flash memories of standing alongside her white rocking chair, watching her "settin' down" some letter to relatives. Character by character, Grandma would slowly accomplish one word, then the next, so that a finished page would consume hours. I wept over the page representing my Grandma's recent hours invested in expressing her loving gratefulness to me -- whom she used to diaper!那些玩具The toys have to meet strict/ tough safety requirements before they can be sold to children.4. 作为新闻Radio and television have supplemented rather than replaced the newspaper as carriers of news and opinion.5. 至于杂志When it comes to this magazine, it is/ carries a digest of articles from many newspapers and magazines around the world.1. 虽然受到Though greatly affected by the consequences of the global financial crisis, we are still confident that we can face up to the challenge and overcome the crisis.2. 在持续不断Under threat of constant sand storms, we were compelled to leave our cherished village and move to the new settlement.3. 根据最近的According to a recent online survey, a lot of consumers say they may be motivatedto consider buying products shown in TV commercials.2.和大公司相比Medium-sized and small companies are more vulnerable to the threat of the global economic crisis than large ones.他从来每有It never occurred to him that their team would win the basketball match by a large margin.5) 回顾二十年Looking back on my twenty years' teaching in high school, I attribute my success to patience, talent, and the constant pursuit of knowledge.奶奶想当然Grandma took it for granted that food prices would soar, so she bought a lot of rice.4) 两国关系Tension between the two countries stemmed in part from the latest spy affair.5) 彼得已在一家Peter has worked in a law firm for many years.

When I think of people in this world who have really made a difference, I think of my parents. They were truly saints among ordinary people.I was one of the ten children my parents adopted. They rescued each of us from a life of poverty and loneliness. They were hardly able to restrain themselves from bringing home more children to care for. If they had had the resources they certainly would have.Most people do not realize how much they appreciated someone until they pass away. My sisters and brothers and I did not want this to happen before we uttered the words "Thank you" to our parents.Although we have all grown up and scattered about the country, we got back together to thank our parents. My brother Tom undertook the task of organizing the event. Every Friday night, Mom and Dad have had the ham dinner special at the same restaurant for the last twenty years. That is where we waited without their knowing. When we first caught a glimpse of them coming across the street, we all hid underneath a big table. When they entered, we leapt out and shouted, "Thank you, Mom and Dad." My brother Tom presented them with a card and we all hugged. My Dad pretended that he had known we were under the table all along.Women who exercise regularly need to be careful with what they eat. Researchers have found evidence that even moderate exercise can result in losing iron. They said that women who exercise regularly, especially in endurance activities, typically lose iron. In order to prevent this from becoming a problem, it is important that those wom en consum e more meat or take supplements to replace the iron lost. Those who do not bother to get plentiful amounts of iron may begin to feel weak and tired. "If you can get the recommended daily allowance of iron in your diet, you will probably perform better," said one diet specialist. "One shortcoming of taking iron pills is that the pill form is not well absorbed and can som etimes make you sick. It is preferable that you try to remedy the deficiency by getting more iron-rich meats in your diet."There are ways to help your body store away the iron it takes in. By getting plenty of Vitamin C, your body is able to process , or use, the iron better. Researchers acknowledge that everyone's body is different and the problem will be less serious for some. Because it is impossible to decide whether or not this could be a problem for you, health specialists say it is advisable to check your iron levels. Even when you can't feel it, you may still have a problemWhile many private schools are focusing more on values, public schools are moving toward testing standards. The national government demands academic success and tests are taken as a key measurement for a school's performance. Schools with low test scores face penalties such as a reduction in money to run their schools. And, even individual teachers are being graded on how they're preparing their students for these tests."We have concentrated too much on teaching the kids how to take these tests," commented one elementary school teacher. "We should be providing a more comprehensive curriculum to these kids. We should be cultivating leadership and curiosity. Unfortunately, there is never time."One school principal remarked, "It's true that it would be beneficial to our kids if they were getting better scores on the subjects being tested. The trouble is that in poorer areas of the city like ours, kids start school less equipped to perform well. We have many obstacles to overcome before we can teach them basic subjects. All schools are not alike, so they shouldn't be tested that way.""The goal is to improve performance in schools that are not providing their students with tools for success," said one government official. He admits, however, that he is having a hard time convincing faculty and teachers this plan will work.For many, beauty and fashion are permanently linked. With regard to fashion, the Barbie doll has been consistently in style. From the first Barbie dolls, Mattel took care to dress them in detailed, fashionable clothes. Some observers note that the fashions of the Barbie doll trace fashion trends perfectly since 1959. While critics complain that the models do not represent "average" female bodies, they also complain about the Barbie doll's size. Som e have criticized the dimensions of the Barbie doll as an unattainable ideal of the female shape.Charlotte J ohnson, the Barbie doll's first dress designer, explained that the doll was not intended to reflect a fem ale figure realistically, but rather to portray a(n) exaggerated shape underneath fashionable clothes. However, the unrealistic dimensions of the doll have brought the strongest criticism regarding the doll's encouragement of an obsession with weight and looks.Convinced of the negative effects of the Barbie doll on children, Cathy Meredig of High Self Esteem Toys developed a more realistically proportioned doll in 1991. Her doll did not sell well, however.Throughout the years, the Barbie doll has had several competitors, but none have been able to compete with the glamour offered by the Barbie doll.Do you know February 2nd is Groundhog's Day (土拨鼠日)? Legend has it that on this morning, if a groundhog can see its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If it cannot see its shadow, spring is on the way. Some believe that the means of forecast is rather arbitrary and is often incorrect. Others argue that it is significant because it recognizes that the different parts of nature are connected in some way. Each part is dependent on the rest of the parts for a healthy system. Some farmers pay close attention to the behavior of ducks and geese whenpredicting the weather. It is sensible to guess an early winter is coming when you see ducks and geese moving south in October. Many dog owners can tell when winter or spring will come by stroking their pet. In preparation for winter, a dog's hair becomes thicker. Dogs lose hair as spring sets in.Information gathered from nature can help people to take precautions against a hard winter or bad storm. Some animals are even believed to be able to detect when an earthquake will occur. People holding this belief even go further to say that information gathered by computers is often detect and nature is far more accurate: Isn't it time we started paying attention to what is around us?Bill Gates is known around the world for the founding of Microsoft. And, most people are quite aware that his Bill Gates is known around the world for the founding of Microsoft. And, most people are quite aware that his evolution from computer hacker to the world's richest man was due in large part to his partner Paul Allen. But, while Gates' fame has mushroomed since the beginning of Microsoft, Allen has remained less famous. Many around the world have followed the life of Gates, but are ignorant of what has happened to Allen. In fact, as most in the Northwest can tell you, Allen has made quite a(n) impact on the region and the world. In 2000, he retired from Microsoft, but the company retains him as a permanent advisor to top executives. Not all of Allen's interests involve commercial success. Allen has given four hundred million dollars in charity to the University of Washington for science and technology research. He created the Experience Music Project in Seattle, employing famous architect Frank Gehry to design the building. This is not his only contribution to the arts. Allen is very involved with modernizing Hollywood's movie technology. His film studio is the most advanced in the world. He has also built a sports empire, buying both a basketball and a football team as well as helping to support a local stadium, and he owns a sports magazine. Oh, and let's not forget, Allen is the seventh richest man in the entire world. Not bad.You have probably heard of Dolly. She is the world's first cloned sheep and quite famous. You would never know that she was such a famous animal just by looking at her, though. "She's about as unrem arkable-looking as any sheep there ever was," commented one scientist who tends to the famous sheep.Now that Dolly has successfully been cloned, there are many scientists observing her every movement. Their hope is that they never detect anything remarkable with Dolly. One of the scientists humorously remarked, "It's quite a(n) boring job always sitting around hoping nothing will actually happen." But that's what they have essentially done. They hope that any differences between Dolly and the sheep she was copied from are so minor that they go unnoticed."We don't want Dolly to live longer or jump higher. Some say that we are deliberately trying to create animals with remarkable qualities. This is not true. We simply are showing that we can make a(n) identical copy of the original safely and that the sheep is normal."Despite the protests of the scientists working on the project, the debate over whether cloning is safe goes on. The US congress organized a national commission to study the legal and moral implications of cloning. Many would like to abolish all research on cloning. And while everyone argues, the scientists are simply continuing to watch Dolly.My friend, Anna, said to me before I married Mike, "He's fine now, but wait until after you've married him." She thought that her own experience with marriage was applicable to mine. Without even being asked, she cited all of the problems she's had with her husband. The disputes ranged from him not sharing responsibility for household tasks to how often he went out at night. And every time, Anna complained, her husband would find justification for what he did. "If I were you," she advised, "I'd get everything documented in writing. If there is something desirable about him now, make sure you get an agreement from him that he will continue it after you are married." I tried to dispose of her advice saying that I thought Mike and I could handle it without such an agreement. She just dismissed what I had to say with laughter. "You can't believe him just because what he said. Once you marry him, he'll think he owns you, and everything will change," she said.I tried to ignore her advice, but the next day I changed my mind and talked to Mike. "Mike,"I said, "I'm not going to marry you unless you promise to always stay the same."He replied, "You've been talking to Anna again, haven't you无论你是多么富有经验的演说家，无论你做了多么充分的准备，你都很难在这样嘈杂的招待会上发表演讲。

Unit10One of the terrible costs of conflict is the resulting damage to relationships. Conflict strains relationship and makes if di fficult for parties to recognize that they share common needs and goals. The more severe the conflict, the greater the psychological distance between groups. Ex tremely hostile relationships tend to persist and make such conflicts all the more serious.However, human relationships also have the power to defuse conflict and make it easier to resolve. In fact, establishing personal relationships is often a(n) effective way to solve conflict. Conflicts cannot be genuinely solved unless the adversaries are tied together with some sense of unity and commonality.First establishing personal relationships with people on the other side of the conflict can help lessen many of the problems related to conflict. This is because personal relationships improve communication and increase the general level of mutual understanding and trust. As individuals get to know each other, they are more able to recognize and acknowledge the other side's complaints. This allow for the development of feelings of sympathy and empathy. It also reduces the likelihood that destructive misunderstanding will arise. In addition, programs that establish positive pers onal relationships between parties are key in preventing possible conflicts. This is because friendly contact helps adversaries to get rid of stereotypes and see the "enemy" as a real, living, feeling person. It may also contribute to increased tolerance among highly diverse groups. Once this change of attitude has taken place, the parties can begin to develop a sense of mutual understanding and trust. Although they may still have different interests or needs, they can begin to approach these issues through cooperation rather than by competing with or trying to destroy each other.Establishing relationships can also pave the way for friendly negotiations and conflict resolution. If negotiators view thems elves as adversaries in a face-to-face confrontation, each side tends do become defensive and reactive. If, on the other hand, negotiators build personal relationships with those o n the other side, they will find that many of the problems associated with strong emotions and poor communication are much easier to manage.Unit9According to our experience, financial disputes are the number one reason for divorce in America.

The main characters in these novels have been cloned, and replaced with creatures that look identical to them. These creatures differ from the originals, though, in that they show no emotion and are not human. They want to take over the earth.Hollywood has often treated clones as less than human, taking orders from a superior who intends to conquer the Earth. It is no wonder that much of the public has treated news of the first cloned animals with fear comparable to that shown in science fiction films dealing with cloning. But what is it that we fear specifically? Are we afraid that we are going to be replaced by monsters?Such Is our fear that legislation in Congress has been proposed to prohibit cloning and all research on it. Some Senators claim that the people working on these projects are like mad scientists from the movies. But, we need to take a step back and evaluate the benefits of cloning, and not simply discriminate based on prior information given to us in films. A clone of any species should develop like it would in nature: Cells split and multiply while the genetic code remains intact. There is nothing to suggest that a clone of a human would be anything less than human.Unit 7At the age of 21, Steve Jobs and a friend, Stephen, Stephen Wozniak, built a personal computer called the Apple. T he Apple changed people's idea of acomputer from a gigantic mass of vacuum tubes only bog business and the government could afford to a small box used by ordinary people. No company has done more to popularize the computer and make it user-friendly than Apple Computer inc. T wo years after building the Apple I, Steve Jobs introduced the Apple II. The Apple II was the best buy in personal computers for home and small business throughout the following five years. Steve Jobs was considered a brilliant young man in Silicon V alley, because he saw the future demands of the computer industry. "The personal computer was created by the hardware revolution of the 1970s and the next dramatic change will come from a software revolution," said Jobs.Jobs was an orphan adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs in 1955. While still in high school, Jobs attended lectures at the Hewlett-Packard electronics firm. There he was hired as a summer employee and met another employee, W ozniak, who had a(n) passion for inventing electronic devices. In 1972 Jobs graduated from high school and registered at Reed Collage in Portland, Oregon, After dropping out of Reed after one semester, he hung around the campus for a year, taking classes in philosophy. Early in 1974 Jobs took a job designing video games for Atari, Inc. But, he really had his eye on the commercial end of the electronics business and persuaded W ozniak to work with him toward building a personal computer.They sold everything they had, raising $1,300 to start their new company. With that capital base and credit begged from local electronics supplies, they set up their first production line. Jobs came up with the name of their new company Apple in memory of a happy summer he had spent as an orchard worker in Oregon.Unit6Earthquakes have plagued our lives for as long as people have inhabited the Earth. T hese dangerou s acts of the Earth have resulted in great damage to human beings.Earthquake damage depends on what area is hit. If an unpopulated region is struck. There will be low loss of life or property. If is hits a large city which is densely populated, there may be serious injuries and destruction.Earthquakes have the power to uproot trees and send them crashing into buildings. They can trigger landslides and cause flooding and tsunamis. Buildings and structures are also at risk. It is interesting to note that tall buildings will suffer the least damage if they are located directly at the epicenter. This is because they can withdraw the up-and-down motion of P-waves. S-waves, on the other hand, occur far away from the epicenter, and cause the greatest stress by shaking buildings from side to side. T hese buildings are often knocked off their foundations.Buildings with thick, heavy walls do not resist shock waves very well. V iolent earthquakes often cause structures to collapse, burying people underneath. Brick buildings are the most vulnerable. The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. It is in the subsequent fires and floods that often the greatest damage occurs.Predicting an earthquake until now has almost been technologically impossible. With improvements in technology, lives have been saved and many more will. All that remains is to research what takes place before, during, and after an earthquake. This has been done for years to the point that a successful earthquake prediction is theoretically possible. However, accurate prediction of earthquake may take more years.Unit5Aging is a natural process. Although medical advancements have come up with ways to cover signs of aging, there is no stopping the process. During the closing period in the lifespan of human beings, people tend to "move away" from more desirable previous periods, often known as "usefulness".Age sixty is usually considered the dividing line between middle and old age. It is the time where you are considered an "elderly", meaning somewhat old or advanced beyond middle age. Period of decline comes partly from physical and partly psychological factors. The physical cause of decline is a change in the body cells due to the effects of the aging process. The psychological cause of decline has something to do with unfavorable attitudes toward oneself, other people, work and life in general. Senility, a more or less complete physical breakdown, will take place when there is mental disorganization. T he individual becomes careless, absent-minded, socially withdrawn, and take place adjusted.Due do the unfavorable social attitudes toward the elderly, treatment toward them in America, unlike other cultures, makes them feel no longer useful and unwanted. People who come from countries where respect for the elderly is customary usually treat elder people with more increasingly and respect.In fact, old people are a treasure of experience to society. It is ex pected that old people will play a(n) increasingly active role in social and community affairs as well as in the business and professional worlds. Because of the reduction in the number of roles the elderly are able to play, it is very likely that they will develop a feeling of inferiority. It is our duty to make them better realize thei r value and help them lead a life of comfort.。

Fate is sometimes not very kind to policemen like myself.Take as an example the recent trial i n which i was involved.when i arrested the young lad i had felt sure he was guilty.i had been follo wing him around for a couple of hours and he conducted himself suspiciously. He had been wand ering about and it seemed to me that he was looking for an opportunity to steal. When I arrested him , his casual manner only served to confirm my suspicions.i thought i had at last caught the the thief who had been troubling the are a for so long.However,my joy was only temporary.when i saw the brilliant solicitor the boy`s father had hir ed to defend him,i knew we didn`t stand a chance .it turned out the boy was simply a student wh o was looking for temporary employment before going to university.if only he had been a bit mor e helpful when we arrested him,he could have saved us all a lot of time and trouble.

Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much overjoyed Aunt Susan was to see Uncle Robert come back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life.

However, happiness doesn’t derive from money alone. Today’s society as a whole has seen dramatic improvement in the standard of living, and the majority of people are decently fed and clothed. However, are people happier today? In fact, when the massmedia and commercial advertisements are still reinforcing the notion that to be happy is to possess more, people find themselves longing more earnestly than ever for a happy and healthy spiritual life: being loved, respected, feeling safe and proud of realizing their self-value. As a wise man once pointed out, happiness lies in the positive attitude one holds towards life other than how much money one earns. Those millionaires who view life as boring and empty serve as good negative examples.。

1.1Jim Doherty may not be a born farmer , but he gets buy without too much trouble. Not that he has had it easy. That first hard winter he faced must have left him with the temptation to give up and go back to the city. But he managed to get through it without losing heart. He’s picked up a lot of skills since then and made some real improvements to his farm, though without much laborsaving machinery aside from that old rotary cultivator. I suspect he doesn’t make all that much, though he does have his writing to supplement what little profit he makes from the farm. I guess he does it primarily for the quality of life. Certainly, they seem a happy family and you can often see them out working together, one day spraying apple trees, the next stacking firewood.1.2A homesteader (自耕农) is a person who lives a self-reliant lifestyle with major emphasis on home production. while the Industrial Age is being replaced by information and electronics, some people try to seek an escape from the social, environmental, and economic madness of the modern age and begin to consider returning to the country. As this lifestyle is so enjoyable, satisfying and rewarding, more and more people are prepared to quit their job in the city and start a new and more meaningful life on their various farms. For some it has become not only a way of life, but a way of looking at the world.Of course, life in the country can be pretty tough. While it is an enjoyment to be so close to Nature, you may have to reduce your dependence on fuels by cutting back on your daily consumption. You may also have to prepare your own meals every day and provide your own low-cost entertainment without the luxuries that are common in cities. On balance, however, living in the country has long been a part of the American Dream. Generations of Americans have considered the country an ideal setting in which to live and raise a family2.1The underground Railroad was forged by the efforts of those who were prepared to fight against slavery and stand up for the long-suffering Southern black Americans. Some of those who helped to transport slaves to the north and freedom were former slaves themselves. Others felt compelled to take part because of their deeply held convictions .For many of those involved, liberating the slaves from those who exploited them because a mission. While their eventual goal was to abolish slavery completely, in the meantime they were intent on helping to free as many slaves as possible, often at considerable risk. In the eyes of slave owners, they were dangerous enemies and frequently received death threats2.2Despite the name, the Underground Railroad was not really a railroad, but was a network of people who assisted fugitive slaves. Many fugitives who escaped to theNorth and Canada received assistance along the way from individuals who were involved in this network. By the early 19th century, the organization became so successful that it is estimatedthat that between 1810 and 1850,100,000 slaves escaped from the South through the Underground Railroad.It was not a(n) coincidence that it was called the Underground Railroad. Steam railroads had just emerged and the terms used to describe the people who helped and the fugitives were related to the railroad line. Fugitive slaves were called "parcels" and "passengers", the helpers were the "conductors", the people who provided their homes as refuge were called "stationmasters," and the homes were referred to as "depots" or "stations".The route used was an important part of a successful escape. There were numerous secret routes that a conductor could use.The one used depended on where the search parties and slave catchers were stationed . Some trips required the use of many different routes. I f it appeared that they might be in danger, a guide would change paths. Some guides and fugitives even hid out in bushes and swamps for many days until it was safe to continue on. Quickness was not the main concern , instead safety was most important and as a result they often zigzagged in order to avoid capture3.1Statistics show that crime in rural areas is now rising faster than in the cities.Th e era when the countryside stood for safety and secutity has long gong.No longer is it safe anywhere to go out leaving the door on the latch.We all feel vnlnerable and seek to strengthen the barriers we use to hold criminals at bay.These can r ange from old fashioned bolts and bars to the latest electronic devices.A moment’s reflection,however,is enough to bring us face to face with the following puzzle:w e may have locked the evils out,but in doing so we have locked ourselves in.this har dly seems a civilized way of life.3.2Statistics show that at some point in your life, you will get robbed. Things get even worse for apartment dwellers because so many people pass in and out of an apartment building, and it is much tougher to keep non-residents out.So what to do? Don't panic. Yes, apartments are liable to robbery, but there are options other than barricading yourself in your apartment with a shotgun. We suggest that you use some common sense to shift that target from your door. Then the burglar will rob the less guarded, not you.We know what you're thinking: "I' ll never get robbed. Who'd want to steal a half can of Diet Coke and an electric toothbrush?" If those really are the only things in your apartment, you have every reason not to worry. However, if you have something you'd like to keep - say, a TV, a stereo, a computer, a Picasso - it's wise to be cautious .Your goal is not to set up any sophisticated security systems to hold thieves at bay; your goal is to keep crimi nals from even trying to break into your apartment inthe first place. I f someone really wants to break in, chances are that he/she is going to find a way by breaking a window or climbing up the fire escape. Therefore, you should remove all signs that say, "Hey, look at me! Lots of goodies and no security! Come on in! " Lock the door when you leave. Don't leave the windows open all day long. Don't tape notes on the door directed to your mate reading "Gone all day! Left the door unlocked for you! " Just use your brains!4.1Einstein’s teacher should have had a little more caution before he came to the conclusion that his pupil would never get anywhere in life. Probably he was irritated by the thought that the young Einstein was undermining his position. And certainly it is true that Einstein did not give/care a fig for authority. However,far from being a flaw in Einstein is character,this proved ,beyond any doubt ,to be one of his greatest strengths. It was on this foundation,combined with the remarkable power of his remarkable/imagination,that his great achievements were built.4.2Imagining is not dreaming. Maybe to a(n) extent but it is more than that. Imagining is being creative. We owe all the inventions and developments to imagination, without which, I bet we would still be cavemen. Knowledge is important but imagination is even more important.Imagination deals with the future and knowledge deals with the past. Imagination creates and knowledge manages. Imagination breaks the norm and knowledge maintains the status quo. A leader needs imagination to create a vision . A manager needs knowledge to operate the organization. An organization with only managers will be obsolete eventually .Not only is it important in business. Imagination is required to solve problems that mankind have, and move humans to a higher level of achievement and well being. How are we going to solve global warming? How are we going to eradicate poverty? We need imagination to come out with the solutions.Einstein wouldn't have realized the theory of relativity if he had not utilized his imagination. In any field, if you are a leader, you need to imagine, for the breakthrough .5.1alex Haley was at sea when he started thinking how best he could mark Thanksgivi ng.Turning over the meaning of the holiday in his mind,he came to reverse the or der of the words and got to thinking about giving thanks.How,he wondered,could he repay those who had been so helpful to him in the past?It seemde to him that t he best way he could express his gratitude would be to write to them.For too long h e had gone about without troubling to tell them how much he appreciated all that th ey had done for him.Before long he had assembled pen and paper and was immers ed in writing.Not long after the ship reached port,unloading its cargo together with his letters.The replies were not swift in arriving,but when they did,he found the m deeply moving5.2Wake up each day and give gratitude for what you have. Instead (1) of giving any thought at all to what you do not have in your life, just spend as much time as you possibly can each day giving thanks for all of the people, opportunities, material possessions (2), good health and any other things that you have in your life that make it so good. It is said that we take so much for granted that we sometimes forget to be thankful for the small things that make our lives so much richer (3). If you have ever been out of breath (4) or under water for too long, the next breaths you take are that much sweeter.Tell others how much you love and cherish(5) them every chance you get. You may never see someone again so you always want to leave them by telling them just how special (6) they are to you. When you are telling them how much you care about them and how thankful you are for having them in your life, give them specific (7) examples of what you love about them the most.Take the time to appreciate every little thing in your life. When the sun is s hining (8), the grass is wet beneath your feet and your dog is barking, give thanks for these small miracles (9). Every moment we have is a gift (10). Use your time to show and tell others how important and special they are. Giving someone your time and kind words is the greatest gift of all.6.1I had only known Johnsy a few months when she fell victim to the disease.We had met in May and,finding ourselves so much in tune,had set up home together.Then, in November,she became ill.Scarcely able to speak in a,she seemed unable to cling to life.It was such a change.Before she had always been so lively andmerry.Now she just sat up in bed,staring out of the window.She had this strange b elief that once the last leaf on the vine outside fell,she would die.I told her it was all nonsense,but to no effect.It was our downstairs neighbor,Mr.Behrman,who came to her rescue.When he h eard of Johnsy’s strange fancy he flew into a fierce temper,regarding it as a sin that o ne so young should give up life so easily.Thanks to Behrman,the last leaf never did te at night he had climbed up and painted the leaf on the wall.It was his long-promised masterpiece6.2Five years ago a female inmate (犯人) at Riker's Island told Jane Paley that she smelled wonderful. As president of Friendly Visitors, a 50-year-old organization whose mission(1) is "acts of loving kindness that don't involve(2) large sums ofmoney or hours of work," Paley frequently went to the New York City jail (3). That day, though, a spray of perfume (香水) went off in her head.Her group had long donated (捐赠) money so that the 100 women in the jail could buy food and treats. Why not (4) give them fancy toiletries (化妆用品) too?Paley and her crew of 35 women figured out the perfect way to get the goods: They asked friends to collect (5) hotel soaps, shampoos and lotions when they travel. Volunteers bundle them into goody bags and deliver (6) them to Riker's several times a year, including Christmas and Mother's Day."These mini-donations make the women feel beautifu(7)," says Paley. "You can see them turn themselves around a little bit."So, Paley continues, "If you're lucky enough to afford a vacation (8), take the soap and shampoos. Bring them to homeless shelters, battered women shelters or any organization in need (9). It's a small (10) act that may mean a great deal."7.1It's been a long day and I'm glad to be back home and get the weight off my feet(1). Not that I've finished yet, there are still all those orders (订单) to type up andI must remember to add my signature (2) to my claim (索取) for commission(3)before I post it off. Otherwise, my firm will be on the phone (4) to me about it. Notthat they have much to complain about. I always manage to sell quite a lot, except that time I was laid up (5) after surgery(6). I'm the only representative the firm has out on the streets nowadays and I still manage to cover a large territory (7) despite my disorder (8). It's hard work and long hours, no time to linger in bed in the mornings,Yet, I've never regretted applying for(9) the job all those years ago. Supporting myself enables me to keen my dignity (10).7.2imagine how you would fill in 24 hours a day, every day, if you didn't have to work. There you go - off to the beach in summer, the movies in winter, watch T.V. on rainy days, go skating or horse riding, read a lot of books or magazines, sleep . . .But would you? Where would the money come from to pay your bus fares, to get into the movies, to buy your T.V. or to pay for the electricity, or buy your skates and books?Let's say that money grew on trees, and that no-one had to worry about that "small" problem. Now you can do all those things... right?Probably not, because if no-one had to worry about earning money, then who would bother driving your bus to the beach -for that matter, who would bother building your bus, or making your movies, skates, books, etc.? Why would they have to?What you'd probably end up doing would be spending most of your time out in the fields growing your own food, or looking after your cows for milk and meat, yoursheep for clothing, growing bamboo for the walls of your humpy.Why would you need to do this? Because no-one else would need to do it to earn money, because money grew on trees - right?Obviously, money in that sort of society doesn't really exist, and is of no value to the people...8.18.2Since Dolly came into existence, scientists and politicians have been worrying about the prospect(1) that it will soon be possible to clone humans, too. The debate centers on two types of cloning: reproductive, with the intention (2) of_producing a baby, and therapeutic (治疗的), with the aim of creating a source of “embryonic”stem cells (干细胞) that might replace diseased organs of the body.Cloning has both strong supporters and fierce critics. Despite(3) the deeply held moral and technological objections of many people, human cloning took a small step forward this week with an announcement by researchers that they had successfully created a human embryo through cloning,_for the purpose of developing(4) stem cells. They are not the first to lay claim to such a feat, but they are the first to publish (5) their findings. Their work was promptly condemned (6) by President George Bush, who said it was morally wrong, and by the Vatican, among (7)many others.From a technical standpoint(8), such strong opposition seems out of line with the slender scientific significance of this development. The researchers used what has become standard(9) cloning method in animals. This is to remove the nucleus (核) containing genetic material from a donor egg, and replace it with the nucleus of another cell. The resulting stem cells would then be genetically identical to the donor, avoiding problems of rejection(10) when they are returned to the patient in treatment.。

UNIT 1When you fall in love for the first time, it's a very serious moment in your life. When people refer to early romantic feelings by such terms as "puppy love" or "having a crush", they haven't simply forgotten what it's like – they are failing to perceive how powerful and significant the experience is. Not only does your first love change your life forever; it also reveals patterns of romantic behavior that are likely to be present in all your future love relationships as well.If your first experience of love filled you with energy and gave you the incentive to explore new areas of life, you'll probably always seek romantic partners who are both demanding and giving. If, on the other hand, your first romance left you feeling awkward and unable to express yourself, you will most likely look for partners with whom you feel safe and comfortable. And who the object of your first romantic feelings was can also be revealing. Was it someone nearby, your own age, that you could share interests and activities with? This is a sign that you expect love as a natural consequence of who you are. If your first love was someone remote—a film star, for example—you may always get more satisfaction from earning love than from receiving love. Or perhaps your first romantic feelings were for someone"in between": remote, but not absent; near you, but not like you – an English teacher, for instance. This is a sign of a very noble character, and of a truly glorious and rewarding romantic future.UNIT 2Real feminists can tell you that the only way to ensure equality is through genetic engineering. Women everywhere still suffer from economic injustice, social injustice and — most significant—physical injustice. This is where genetic engineering is indispensable to feminism. The way things are now, too few women feel truly sure of their physical safety. All that protects most women from physical force is the so-called social contract. This is not enough. Why s hould half the population enjoy physical safety as a form of courtesy, wh ile the other half enjoys it as a natural faculty?Men who argue that la ws can compensate for this inequality simply can't imagine what it's lik e to be helpless to defend yourself. This lifelong lack of confidence i n something as basic as physical safety gives rise to major ps ychological barriers to equality. How can a person feel equal when sh e lives her entire life with the knowledge that stronger creatures are in c ontrol? How can she feel truly free to compete with them, ignore them or disagree with them, all the time knowing they could suddenlythreaten her if she isn't nice? Sure, women can learn self-defense or carry guns, but that isn’t the same as trusting in your own safety. What women really need is a breakthrough in genetic engineering to ensure that both genders are equal in physical strength right from the cradle.UNIT 3If you want to develop the senses of your mind, there are many simple and enjoyable exercises that can help you. The first step is to arouse your physical senses so you can experience them more intensely. Let’s start with food — either a food you especially like, or a food you’ve grown weary of because you eat it too often. Begin by closing youreyes and focusing on its smell. Breathe it in deeply, and imagine: If this smell were a perfume, what name would you give it? Now goon to taste the dish — but not as you usually do! Put a small amount on the tip of your tongue and notice how the taste buds there respon d. Move the food along the side and back of your tongue and ponder the differences. Find a word for each flavor you experience, but try to refrain from using everyday terms like “sweet” or “salty”. If this were a song in your mouth, what kind of song would it be? Once you know, you can go on — but don’t eat any more yet! First pay attentionto how your mind is responding to the food. Notice your mood— doyou feel more hopeful, relaxed or serious than before? Or just hungrier?UNIT4The term “liberal arts” comes from the Latin root liber, meaning “free.”This term originally referred to seven fields of study which ,in ancient Greece, were considered arts of the mind, in contrast to the manual or mechanical arts. The liberal arts now include fields other than the original seven (which, incidentally, were grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, music, geometry and astronomy ),but the basic concept still has an overwhelming influence on Western education was only for the wealthy, and was seen as an end in itself :Although it could open doorsto a professional career, it was mainly regarded as the mark of a cultivated man. (Women were not permitted to pursue a liberal arts education in the Middle Ages). Eventually, liberal arts faculties were e stablished at universities, and the liberal arts --- along with the idea of pursuing an education for its own sake --- because the standard for higher education in the Western word. The conviction that education should not be practical has never completely died out. For centuries law and medicine were thought of as primarily theoretical --- actuallyputting them into practice was viewed as low-class. The natural sciences were not treated seriously, and fields like economics and management didn’t exist at all.UNIT 5One of the most striking things about Americans is that they seem to expect everyone to like them wherever they go. Americans aren't of c ourse the only people in the world who take it for granted that their c ultural standards are generally admired—monoculturalism is typical of e very society in the world. But it isn't admiration that Americans seem t o expect—they seem to expect to be liked.This phenomenon, which th e rest of the world finds both amusing and frustrating, may be at least pa rtly having been to the American definition of friendliness. To Am ericans, friendliness means enthusiasm informal and cheerful and ope n to other people, even before you know them well enough to be sur e you like them. And it's important to note that although real frie ndship may certainly arise from acting friendly in this way, Ame ricans do not mistake for being friends. This can, of course, cause conf usion when Americans meet people from more reserved cultures. But i f you consider American history, it's easier to see where this patter n of behavior comes from. In the pioneer days, if you acted too reser ved and formal, no one would have any reason to help you if you got int rouble (which there was plenty of in the pioneer days). Having a wide ci rcle of friendly acquaintances was a key to survival, so “friendliness” b ecame a glorified pattern of behavior that every generation of Americ ans is trained to exhibit in a high degree. They're so good at being f riendly – and it works at home – so Americans' assumption is that i t will work everywhere.UNIT6My son Brian, who was in training to become an army pilot, was on his way to a party one evening when he stopped at a gas station to ask for directions. Just as he pulled up, one of the gas pumps exploded and Brian lost both his legs. Everyone agreed that Brain was lucky to have escaped with his life (the only other victim of the accident died on the spot) --- everyone, that is, except 0 Brian, who was filled with total despair.It wasn’t the pain and difficulty of adjusting to living with a handicap that he found so hard to bear; it was the sheer senselessness of the accident that had shattered his legs, his life and his dreams. He acknowledged the risks of his chosen profession, so if he’d suffered the same injury in a plane crash, he would’ve accepted it. If he’d beenwounded in combat, he could’ve forgiven his enemy, or vowed to get revenge. But how can you forgive --- or get even with --- a leak in a gas pump? Where can you turn to find meaningful insight into the risks of stopping to ask for directions? Brian was given artificial legs, and month s of physical therapy to help him function in his new life. But no one ever found any way to replace or revive the love of life that that meaningless accident destroyed. In a very real sense, I lost my son that night at the gas station: Even though his body survived, his spirit did not.。

1单元Where there is a will, there is a way. This proverb means that if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will (1) eventually （最后）find away to do it well. The (2) premier point is that you must have the will to achievesuccess.有志者事竟成。

这句谚语的意思是，如果你真的下定决心去做某件事，不管它有多困难，你最终会找到办法把它做好。

首要的一点是，你必须有意愿取得成功。

Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strongwill involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any (3) endeavor to achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuseto explain the situation away.百分之九十的失败都是因为没有强大的意志。

许多人只是简单地说他们想要一些东西，但他们并没有努力去实现它。

所以，他们没有得到它，而是用最糟糕的借口来解释情况。

On many occasions, people tend to (4) bypass (绕过) every minute obstacle,making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will- to succeed,they can get rid of the(5)handicaps and achieve their goals.在许多情况下，人们往往（4）绕过（绕过）每一分钟的障碍，使目标无法实现。

1) Jim Doherty may not be a born farmer , but he gets buy without too much trouble. Not that he has had it easy. That first hard winter he faced must have left him with the temptation to give up and go back to the city. But he managed to get through it without losing heart. He’s picked up a lot of skills since then and made some real improvements to his farm, though without much laborsaving machinery aside from that old rotary cultivator. I suspect he doesn’t make all that much, though he does have his writing to supplement what little profit he makes from the farm. I guess he does it primarily for the quality of life. Certainly, they seem a happy family and you can often see them out working together, one day spraying apple trees, the next stacking firewood.2) The underground Railroad was forged by the efforts of those who were prepared to fight against slavery and stand up for the long-suffering Southern black Americans. Some of those who helped to transport slaves to the north and freedom were former slaves themselves. Others felt compelled to take part because of their deeply held convictions . For many of those involved, liberating the slaves from those who exploited them because a mission . While their eventual goal was to abolish slavery completely, in the meantime they were intent on helping to free as many slaves as possible, often at considerable risk . In the eyes of slave owners, they were dangerous enemies and frequently received death threats3) Statistics show that crime in rural areas is now rising faster than in the cities. The era when the countryside stood for safety and secutity has long gong. No longer is it safe anywhere to go out leaving the door on the latch . We all feel vnlnerable and seek to strengthen the barriers we use to hold criminals at bay . These can range from old fashioned bolts and bars to the latest electronic devices. A moment’s reflection ,however ,is enough to bring us face to face with the following puzzle : we may have locked the evils out,but in doing so we have locked ourselves in . this hardly seems a civilized way of life.5) Alex Haley was at sea when he started thinking how best he could mark Thanksgiving . Turning over the meaning of the holiday in his mind , he came to reverse the order of the words and go to thinking about giving thanks . How , he wondered , could he repay those who had been so helpful to him in the past ? It seemde to him that the best way he could express his gratitude would be to write to them . For too long he had gone about without troubling to tell them how much he appreciated all that they had done for him . Before long he had assembled pen and paper and was immersed in writing . Not long after the ship reached port , unloading its cargo together with his letters . The replies were not swift in arriving , but when they did , he found them deeply moving .（1）I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don't entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.The other requirement is energy -- a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on along list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom.In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U. S. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And it's about time. For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intent on telling their stories.It has been replaced by dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires hooked up to a police station or private guard firm. Many suburban families have sliding glass doors on their patios, with steel bars elegantly built in so no one can pry the doors open.It is not uncommon, in the most pleasant of homes, to see pasted on the windows small notices announcing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company. The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child's bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it.The Reverend Nelson wrote that his decades as a "simple, old-fashioned principal" had ended with schools undergoing such swift changes that he had retired in self-doubt. "I heard more of what I had done wrong than what I did right," he said, adding that my letter had brought him welcome reassurance that his career had been appreciated.A glance at Grandma's familiar handwriting brought back in a flash memories of standing alongside her white rocking chair, watching her "settin' down" some letter to relatives.

What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the UN declared it "The World Year of Physics". It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein's theory of relativity and the 50th anniversary of his death. In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th centuryUnit 5句子翻译.奶奶想当然地认为粮价要上涨，所以买了许多大米Grandma took it for granted that food prices would soar, so she bought a lot of rice.2.我可以给你引用几个例子来会说明她献身科学的精神I can quote you several instances of her dedication to science.3.20世纪80年代中国一些经济特区开始迅速发展起来The 1980s saw the start of the swift development of some special economic zones in China.4.两国关系的紧张部分是由于最近的间谍事件Tension between the two countries stemmed in part from the latestspy affair.5.彼得已在一家律师事务所当了多年律师。

精读三课后cloze完整精读三课后Unit1Fate is sometimes not very kind to policemen like myself.Take as an example the recent trial in which i was involved.when i arrested the young lad i had felt sure he was guilty.i had been following him around for a couple of hours and he conducted himself suspiciously. He had been wandering about and it seemed to me that he was looking for an opportunity my suspicions.i thought i had at last caught the the thief who had been troubling the area for so long.However,my joy was only temporary.when i saw the brilliant solicitor the boy`s father had hired to defend him,i knew we didn`t stand achance .it turned out the boy was simply a student who was looking for temporary employment before going to university.if only he had been a bit more helpful when we arrested him,he could have saved us all a lot of time and trouble. It`s enough to make one turn against students. Unit2Despite the vast amount of data available for us to downloadform the worldwide web, we still face a problem in how to make the best use of it.data on its own has limitations.it is only when nature is exposed to fruitful questions that we can hope to uncover her secrets ,the evolution of science shows this clearly ,with many of the most notable discoveries relying on the ability to view matters rather than simply gathering more facts,in short ,half the answer lies in thinking up the right question.Unit3To my mind ,in any analysis of the professions ,few can match teaching .one needs to be energetic ,for occasionally it seems one hardly has time to catch one`s breath .it can mean staying up late in order to get lessons prepared on time ,nonetheless, i am convinced that the work is more stimulating than that of my administrative colleagues.i certainly would not wish to switch,even though the pay is higher ,with teaching,the pace of life is more varied ,allowing greater time for reflection and research .yet most of all it is the chance to see the spark of a fresh idea taking hold in a student`s mind that is the most rewarding aspect of the job ,repaying all one`s efforts.Unit4It is difficult not to be affected by the table of Sarahmorris.while her physical conditions made to interpret her writing it would be impossible to spot that she suffers from such a severe handicap .writing slowly with the help of a pointer fastened to her head ,her maximum writing speed is no more than eight words per minute. Yet she still manages to write extensively on the team she grew up following .straining her neck in the gloom of her room,surrounded by her computer equipment and a tv set,she has managed to rise above her situation against all the adds. Unit5I recall that it was something of an embarrassment to have my son find me so upset on that Wednesday long ago.he had come home expecting to have the place all to himself,only to find me there ,frantic with worry about losing my job,i had assumed that i could master typing in just could not catch on to it in time,i suppose i should have enrolled on a correspondence course,as i did when learning to run the nursery ,but by then it was too late.I felt helpless and the tension at work was becoming too much to bear,so in the end i just had to accept defect and change jobs.not that i gave up wanting to type.i went on practicing and eventually mastered it.Unit6The medicines the doctor prescribed for me tasted horrible. They were supposed to bring down my temperature,but when i heard how high it was i was terrified. I though i was terrified.i though i was certain to die.i just didn`t see how i could possibly overcome the illness.i couldn`t stop worrying about it.all day i just gazed into space,feeling miserable.the fever made me shiver and gave my face a flush.i couldn`t take an interest in anything and felt very detached from everything around me.i though my father must know i was going to die, but had said nothing,wanting me to keep from thinking about it. Finally i could bear it no longer and asked him how much longer i could live.when he explained my mistake,all my worries sslid away.only then was i really able to take it easy.Unit11) Fate 2)trial 3)guilty 4)couple of 5)conduct 6)wandering 7)casual 8)confirm9) temporary 10)brilliant 11)stand a chance 12)employment 13)turn againstunit21)Despite 2)data 3)download 4)web 5)limitations 6)fruitful 7)uncover 8)evolution 9)notable10)View 11)Inshort12)thinking upUnit31)analysis 2)professions 3)energetic 4)catch one`s breath 5)staying up 6)convinced7)stimulating8)administrative 9)switch 10)pace 11)reflection 12)spark 13)repayingUnit41)affected 2)physical 3)interpret 4)spot 5)handicap 6)fastened 7)maximum 8)per 9)extensively10)straining 11)surroundedUnit51)recall 2)embarrassment 3)have all to himself 4)frantic 5)assumed 6)catch on to 8)enrolled9)correspondence 10)helpless 11)tension 12)went onUnit61)prescribed 2)bring down 3)overcome 4)gazed 5)miserable 6)shiver 7)flush 8)detached from9)keep from 10)slid 11)take it easy。
