Unit 4 Fresh StartFresh Start[1] I first began to wonder what I was doing on a college campus when my parents drove off, leaving me standing pitifully in a parking lot. I decided I wanted nothing more than to find my way safely to my dorm room. It seemed that everyone on campus was watching me. My plan was to keep my ears open and my mouth shut and I hoped no one would notice I was a freshman.[2] The next morning I found my first class and marched in. Once I was in the room, however, another problem awaited me. Where to sit? After much hesitation I chose a seat in the first row and to the side.[3] "Welcome to Biology 101," the professor began. Oh, God, I had thought it was a literature class. A cold sweat broke out on the back of my neck. I groped for my schedule and checked the room number. I was in the right room but the wrong building.[4] So now what? Get up and leave in the middle of the lecture? Wouldn't the professor be angry? I knew everyone would stare. Forget it. I settled into my chair and tried to look as serious as a biology major might be.[5] After class I felt a little hungry, and I hurried to the cafeteria. I piled my tray with sandwiches and was heading for the seat when I accidentally stepped in a large puddle of ketchup. My food tray tipped and I lost my balance. As my rear end met the floor, I saw my entire life pass before my eyes; it ended with my first day of college classes.[6] In the seconds after my fall I thought how nice it would be if no one had noticed. But as all the students in the cafeteria came to their feet, cheering and clapping, I knew they had not only noticed, they were determined that I would never forget it.[7] For the next three days I dined alone on nothing more than shame, and some junk food from a machine placed outside my room. On the fourth day I thought I needed some real food badly. Perhaps three days was long enough for the campus population [N] to have forgotten me. So off to the cafeteria I went.[8] I made my way through the food line and tiptoed to a table. Suddenly I heard a crash that sounded familiar. I looked up to find that another poor soul had met the same fate as I had. My heart went out to him as people began to cheer and clap as they had for me. He got up, hands held high above his head in a victory clasp, grinning from ear to ear.I expected him to slip out of the cafeteria as I had, but instead he turned around and began preparing another tray. And that's when I realized I had been taking myself far too seriously.[9] Who cared whether I dropped a tray, where I sat in class, or even whether Ishowed up in the wrong lecture? Nobody. This wasn't like high school. In college, it didn't matter. This was my big chance to do my own thing.[10] Once I realized that I had no one's expectations to live up to but my own, I relaxed. I began to view college as a wonderful experiment. I dressed a little differently, I discovered a taste for jazz, and I decided I liked going barefoot.[11] I gave up trying to act my way through college and began not acting at all. College, I decided, was probably the only time I would be completely forgiven for any mistakes (including stepping in puddles of ketchup and dropping food trays). So I used the opportunity to make all the ones I thought I'd ever make.[12] Three years after graduation, I'm still making mistakes. And I'm even being forgiven for a few.新的开端1 当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。

Unit 4Fresh StartIn-Class Reading Fresh Start新的开端1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。

我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。

我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。

我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。

2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。

然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。

坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。

3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。

天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。

4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。

算了吧。

我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。

5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。

我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。

手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。

就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。

6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。

但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。

7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。

到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。

也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。

于是我去了食堂。

8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。

突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。

抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。

当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。

他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。

我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。

Reading Comprehension( 1 )Bret Harte, a member of an educated but poor New Y ork family, travelled west to California as a young man in 1854. He settled in San Francisco in 1860 and a year later became editor of the Over- land Monthly, in which he published many of his famous stories of the Far West. Harte seems to have succeeded although, for a time., he used to consider the mining(采矿) life unsuitable subject matter for literature.In the 1860's, Eastern magazines featured mostly English authors, but their readers were eager for American fiction. Therefore, when Harte's story "The Luck of Roaring Camp" was reprinted in the "Atlantic Monthly", it created quite a sensation(轰动) in the East. After Harte' s initial success, Eastern editors printed his other tales about mining, and with the publication of a collection in book form in 1870, he became popular throughout the nation.Soon after the collection was published, Harte returned to the East and continued to write in New Y ork for seven years, but his stories were not of the same quality and his popularity decreased. In 1878 he went to Europe where he remained until his death in 1902. Although some editors continued to publish his stories, he never regained his popularity, for his tales were for the most part imitations of his earlier works.1. Of the following statements about Harte, which one is NOT TRUE?A. Harte became an editor in 1861B. Harte's stories are mostly about mining lifeC. Harte's family had a great fortuneD. Harte used to live in San Francisco2. What was the reason for Harte's success as an author?A. Readers wanted stories about life in AmericaB. Harte used to work for the "Overland Monthly"C. Harte was born of an educated familyD. Americans loved literature during the 1860's3. How many years did Harte spend in the Far West?A. 18 yearsB. 10 yearsC. 20 yearsD. 16 years4. According to the passage, Harte's later stories wereA. popular in EuropeB. welcomed by AmericansC. of the higher qualityD. for the most part imitations5. The story mainly tells aboutA.Harte's life as a writerB. Harte’s famous storiesC. Harte’s success as editorD. Harte’s life in Europe( 2 )Today is the anniversary(周年纪念日)of that afternoon in April a year ago that 1 first saw the strange and appealing(令人动心的)doll in the window of Abe Sheftel' s stationery and toy shop on Third A venue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads: Dr. Samuel Amoty. I remember just how it was that day: the first hint(迹象) of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft-coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighbourhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's' I was made once more aware of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending modest gifts. Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything appropriate, and looked at the confusing collection of ordinary objects a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed, stationery, and garish(俗丽的) cardboard(纸板) advertisements for soft-drinks. And thus my eyes eventually came to rest upon the doll tucked(塞在) away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows and the glass through which I was looking, but I was aware that a tremendous impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.1. What made an impression on the author?A. The doll's unusual faceB. The collection of toysC. A stranger he met at the storeD. The resemblance (相似) of the doll to his niece2. Why does the author mention his niece?A. She likes dollsB. The doll looks like herC. She lives near Sheftel'sD. He was looking for a gift for her3. Why did the author go past Sheftel' s?A.

Most of the things in the store window wereA. expensiveB. appealingC. neatly arrangedD. unattractive5.The story took place in theA. early summerB. midsummerC. early springD. late spring( 3 )When my brother, sister, and I were little, we were a big responsibility for my parents. We were very active children, so my parents had to be alert(警惕)at all times. We were not always well-behaved and frequently did things my mother disapproved(不满)of. We got dirty when playing outside and made a lot of noise when playing inside. I still remember putting dirty water on a neighbor' s hair because we were arguing about something. I got into a lot of trouble for that.Although our patents disapproved of many things that we did, they usually did not get veryangry. They always tried to discuss the situation with us the first time and rarely screamed at us. I remember having long conversations about why we ought to behave in a certain way.My brother, sister, and I always laughed and joked with each other. I can still remember how we joked with our elder brother when he first was able to grow a beard(胡须). He was very proud of his "beard", but we all laughed because it was nothing more than three or four hairs on his face. My mother always looked at us disapprovingly when we laughed so loudly, but my brother never got angry. He thought it was funny.My sister, however, did get very angry on several occasions. We always let each other use our belongings, but we had to ask permission before taking them. Once I borrowed my sister's white dress without asking and got ink spots on it. When she found out, she screamed at me angrily, telling me that I was childish and unreliable. I felt very sad, and my mother was unhappy because I broke our family’s rude about borrowing belongings.1. What is NOT TRUE of their childhood behavior?A. They always did what their parents asked them to doB. They were active but not always behaving wellC. They liked to laugh at their elder brotherD. They were noisy when playing outdoors2. From the passage, it's known that the writer once got into great difficultyA. for the argument with her relativesB. due to her clothes getting dirtyC. because of the lack of intelligenceD. because she behaved in a bad manner to her neighbour3. When they did something wrong, their parents would try to discuss the situation first insteadofA. beating themB. being helpfulC. getting angryD. getting disturbed4. The reason why the writer's sister got angry is thatA. the writer did not express thanks to her sisterB. the writer broke the family's ruleC. the writer looked at her sister disappointedlyD. the writer behaved impatiently5. When the sister blamed the writer for being "unreliable" she meant the writerA. was madB. was rudeC. was not to be depended onD. was like a thief( 4 )Krakatau volcano(火山) is in small island in Indonesia. It had been peaceful for about 200 years before it erupted(爆发) in 1883.The first signs of activity of the volcano appeared in May 1883, when fire and smoke could be seen at the top of the mountain. Great noises could be heard even in Jakarta a hundred miles away. Later the activity grew much greater. The peak(山顶) was covered with smoke and fire: the smoke at one time was seventeen miles high in the air. The lava--soft and hot rock--shot up into the air and rolled down the sides of the mountain.The mouth of the volcano was not at the peak of the mountain but on its side, close to the sea. As it grew bigger and bigger with the eruption, the sea- water got into it. When the sea- waterreached the lava inside the volcano, it made the upper part of the lava colder and harder. And this sealed off(封住) the rest of the lava below. As the inside lava could not break through the seal, the pressure built up until the mountain blew up.The eruption of the volcano was followed by several earthquakes, which brought about bad results. About 36,000 people were killed and many towns and villages near the sea were completely destroyed by the great waves, which the earthquakes caused.1.Krakatau volcano _______A. erupted two hundred years agoB. had not been active for two hundred years before 1883C. had not shown any signs before 1883D. made its first eruption in 18832.

Pre-reading Tasks1.1. Background Information --- Richard NixonRichard Milhous Nixon is one of the most fascinating political figures of the 20th Century. Nixon's political career began in 1947 when he was elected to the House of Representatives, after campaigning strongly as an anti-communist. By 1952, he had moved to the Senate and was chosen by Dwight Eisenhower to be his running mate in the presidential election. By 1968 he was on his way back, winning the Republican Party nomination, defeating Democrat Hubert Humphrey and becoming the 37th President on January 20, 1969. Nixon was re-elected in a landslide in 1972, defeating Senator George McGovern, and was sworn in for a second term on January 20, 1973.A few days later, he announced an agreement to end the Vietnam War. However, by the beginning of 1973, the Watergate scandal was unfolding and the next eighteen months were dominated by damaging revelations and a legal fight between the Executive arm of government versus the Congress and the Supreme Court. Following his resignation, Nixon devoted himself to rehabilitating his public reputation. He wrote a number of books and travelled widely. Nixon died in 1994. His funeral was held on April 27 at the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace, Yorba Linda, California.1.2.

Unit 41.Directions: Read the following passages, and then select the best choice for each ofthe questions or incomplete statements.Passage 1There are stock markets in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell the shares of a factory of company. And each share means part ownership of a factory or company.Different people go to the stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing （投资）money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling (赌博). All are eager to make money by “gambling” in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to “gamble.” Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.(Words: 244)1. The following people go to the stock market EXPCEPT those whoA) want to become richerB) want to get rid of povertyC) want to save moneyD) want to find jobs2. Which of the following statements is true?A) A good investor can affect the change in stock prices.B) A good investor can tell exactly when the stock goes up or down.C) A good investor will sometimes lose money.D) A good investor knows how to choose a company which does a good job.3. In the passage the writer .A) encourage people to go to the stock marketB) assures people that buying stock is a good investmentC) warns people to be careful in buying stocksD) explains how stock goes up when factories or companies run well4. The word “ complex” in the last sentence probably means .A) completeB) strangeC) difficultD) modern5. The passage mainly tells us aboutA) the ABCs of stock marketsB) gambling in stock marketsC) how to make money in stock marketsD) how to buy or sell shares in stock marketsPassage 2She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.“The thin, wooden pan el on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago.” The museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their present chemical state.Nearly six million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then yo u look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision （视觉）is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.(Words: 247)1.In the first paragraph, “catching up with” meansA)coming up with behindB)having effect onC)making up forD)getting along with2.It is difficult to repair this painting due to itsA)painting materialsB)wooden panelC)long historyD)good name3.Mona Lisa is smiling you lookA)at herB)from the corners of your eyesC)into the shadowsD)for details4.Para. 4 is mainly aboutA)the history of the Mona LisaB)the condition of the Mona LisaC)the secret of Mona Lisa’s smileD)the secret of Mona Lisa’s beauty5.During World War II the famous painting was inA)ItalyB)FranceC)BritainD)GermanyII. Directions:Read the following passages, and then fill in the blanks with the missing information.Passage 3Body language is one of the best ways to find out what is really going on inside someone’s head.A small movement of the mouth or nose, or a wink of the eye—these actions can say much more about a person’s feeling than anything they say to you.But you need to be very experienced to fully understand what you see. Here are some basic movements made by Westerners and explanations of what they mean to get you started.Pat （轻拍）/rub(摩擦)one’s stomach. If someone rubs his or her stomach, he is not feeling sick. It is the opposite—he is hungry.Shrug（耸）one’s shoulders. This means “I don’t know” or “I am not bothered.” If your friend shrugs his or her shoulders when invited to a party, it shows he or she is not very interested in going along to it.Keep one’s fingers crossed. It is a gesture to wish for good luck. Before people take exams, they often cross their fingers in the hope of getting good grades. Football fans do the same thing when their favorite team gets an advantage from a penalty(点球)—they wish the players will score a goal.Rub one’s chin. If someone rubs his or her chin, it often means he or she doesn’t believe what someone else is saying! So if your friend makes this gesture, it secretly tells you what he or she feels.Scratch (挠)one’s head. If your foreign English teacher scratches his or her head when you ask a question, then he or she is confused and might not have understood what you have said. Either that, or he or she can’t remember your name!(Words: 277)1. We can know more about a person’s feelings by .2. When a Westerner rubs his or her stomach, it means .3. When taking exams, Westerners may cross their fingers to .4. If your friends rub their chin, it may mean that .5. “To scratch one’s head” suggests the person doesn’t understand your words or.Passage 4If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then stalk off without paying your fare. And the driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dinning rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guest, but also cater to outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to wine and dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages.” But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would invariably come back to pay their fare after they have attended their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. as the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, so to live in such a society has turned ev eryone into real “gentlemen”.(Words: 311)1. While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first .2. In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if.3. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland.4. Workers in Finland just need to tell their employersto get their pay.5. The passage leads us to believing that Finland is a society of.III. Directions: Read the following passages, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F)Passage 5“Fire! Fire!” What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.I began to run. But as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around.I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet was caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I fell to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a flaming doorway in front, and I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet were burning terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry. I nearly dropped it in surprise. Then is saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.“My baby! My baby!” she cried. The crowed cheered wildly as she took the smoke-blackened bundle out of my arms. I had saved her baby. I was a hero!(Words: 277)( ) 1. I was on the top floor of a small house when the fire broke out.( ) 2. The thick smoke made me run in the wrong direction.( ) 3. I fell to the floor below because the floor under me was burned.( ) 4. I was trying to save myself but I actually also saved my next door ne ighbor’s baby.( ) 5. It can be learned from the passage that I became a hero by chance.Passage 6It seems you always forget—your reading glasses when you are rushing to work, your coat when you are going to the cleaners, your credit card when you are shopping. Such absent-mindedness may be frustrating to you. Now British and German scientists are developing memory glasses that record everything the user sees. The glasses can play back memories later to help the wearer remember things they have forgotten such as where they left their keys. And the glasses also allow the user to “label(贴标签于，标注)” items so information can be used later on.The wearer could walk around an office or a factory identifying certain items by pointing at them. Objects indicated( 指出)are then given a blank label on a screen inside the glasses that the user then fills in.It could be used in industrial plants by mechanics looking to identify machine parts or by electricians writing a complicated device. A spokesman for the project said: “A car mechanic, for example, could find at a glance where a part on a certain car model is wrong so that it can be identified and repaired.” For the motorist, the system can highlight(使显著)dangers on the road.In other cases, the glasses can be worn by people going on a guided tour, indicating points of interest; or they can be worn by people looking at panoramas where all the sites can be identified.(Words: 231) ( ) 1. An absent-minded person is easy to forget.( ) 2. Memory glasses can remind users of what they have forgotten.( ) 3. If you are wearing the memory glasses, it means you have a bad memory. ( ) 4. Para. 4 talks about the problem-finding use of memory glasses.( ) 5. By wearing memory glasses, people will find places of interest more easily.KeyUnit 4Passage 1D C C C A Passage 2B A BC B Passage 31. observing his or her body language2. he or she is hungry3. wish for good grades4. they doubt what you are saying5. has forgotten your namePassage 41.paying your fare2.you are living in the hotel3.provide meals to any diners4.how many hours they have worked5.high moral levelPassage 5F F T F T Passage 6F T F T T。
