Unit 1 Leisure Activities1-1 Entertaining Humor-What's Funny?Translation【1】听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心,古今中外都一样。
这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。
那么,到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢?【2】我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人,因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。
这些学生文化差异很大,有来自拉丁美洲的,也有来自中国的。
我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。
这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。
【3】为什么听我讲完一个笑话后,班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合,而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢?显然,有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。
而且,我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话,而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。
我们都听人说过这样的话:“我喜欢笑话,但我讲不好,也总是记不住。
”有些人比别人更有幽默感,就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。
一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲,而且讲了一个笑话,就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。
一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的。
一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱,而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。
这么说是有道理的。
【4】甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。
我岳母从前经常来我们家,并能住上很长一段时间。
通常她不喜欢狗,但却很喜欢布利茨恩——我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。
而且,她们的这种好感是相互的。
布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母。
当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时,布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室,并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去,一直逗得外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。
外祖母从椅子上一起来,布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子,从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑,无疑是在说:“啊哈,你又上了我的当。
”【5】典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。

Unit 7 College LifeUseful InformationStudents leave for college at age 17 or 18, many of them have never been away from home and their family. The transition to greater freedom and responsibility may be difficult for them, with no one to wake them up for breakfast or do their laundry, and fewer classes to attend but larger amounts of homework. Some students do not adjust successfully. In the ., where almost 70% of high school graduates enter college, only a minority of these actually graduate. Elsewhere, with fewer attending college, higher percentages may graduate.College has many social attractions, some of which can be distractions. Sports, concerts, parties, and dormitory bull sessions (闲聊) can be very time consuming. The temptation to stay up too late at night or sleep too late in the morning is always present, so self-discipline is an important lesson to learn. In addition many students have part-time jobs, especially in the . where most students have cars and are expected to help their parents pay for tuition or college housing.Students and their parents may disagree on how much time should be devoted to studying. But they usually agree that in addition to some learning and possibly some fun, one of the outcomes of a college education should be a good job. Students who have already worked at part-time jobs have an advantage in the job market, but this is not the only way to improve one’s chances. Many colleges have internships or co-op programs to give students practical experience in their future careers. Others have special classes where students can practice their application forms and letters, résumés, personal statements, and employment interviews. Most colleges have career counselors and either career days or career fairs where students can meet potential employers and learn about career alternatives. Recently many jobs have been listedon the Internet, making it easier to match students with suitable opportunities and more important for students to acquire computer skills.College can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it can also be very stressful. Making their own decisions can be very difficult for young people accustomed to parental supervision. When students make bad decisions, such as drinking too much beer or procrastinating in their studies, they are not always mature enough to admit or correct their mistakes. But having the freedom to make these mistakes, and the obligation to face their consequences, is part of the learning process. When older people look back on their student years, they usually view this as a happy period of life, even if it did not always feel that way at the time.Parents, teachers, advisors, and counselors can help students move successfully from high school to college and from college to careers. But in the last analysis students must do most of this for themselves, with more help than we may realize from their friends and classmates. College students learn as much outside as inside the classroom, and most of this is not learned from adult authority figures. The peer group and the youthful popular culture are increasingly strong influences on today’s students. So parents and other potential role models should try to be aware of this, even if they don’t always appreciate the latest trends in casual clothing or pop music. College is a time of change, and the parents can learn almost as much from this as the students can. They too were once students, just as today’s students will one day be parents.Part One PREPARATION1. Talking about Your High-School ClassmatesSample:I graduated from __________ High School, a key high school in __________ Province. Among the 50 students in my class, 48 are enrolled in universities, mostly national key universities. Three went to Peking University and two to Tsinghua University. The three who went to Peking University are majoring in Law, Philosophy and Physics respectively and the two who went to Tsinghua University are majoring in Computer Science and Information Science. In this university alone there are five of us, doing different majors; three of my former classmates are enrolled in normal universities, one in Beijing Normal University, one in South China Normal University and one in East China Normal University.2. Talking about Your College Life—Expectations vs RealitySample:1) Campus:Expectations—large and beautiful campus with green grass everywhere and a large sports ground, where you can always see students busy and full of vitality.Reality—Just as what I dreamed of – a huge campus with magnificent modern buildings, green trees, blooming flowers and a river flowing around.—Contrary to what I expected, it’s an old campus, large though, with grey buildings like huge match-boxes, little grass, and a few big trees.2) Classroom buildings:Expectations—large new classrooms with modern facilities.Reality—well equipped teaching buildings with multi-media facilities.—large old buildings, with a few classrooms well equipped with modern facilities.3) Dormitories:Expectations—crowded with little space for everyone.Reality—true, but we may choose to live in a double room if we can afford the rent.4) Students’ cafeterias:Expectations—spacious dining halls, full of hungry students.Reality—true, and there is a great variety of food that will definitely appease our appetite.5) Library:Expectations—a large collection of books, journals and periodicals; spacious and well-lit reading rooms.Reality—true except that the reading rooms are not large enough and students have to get there early in order to find a seat.6) Classmates:Expectations—friendly and speaking different dialects.Reality—true.7) Teachers:Expectations—old, gray-haired and wearing thick glasses; strict and formally dressed.Reality—not true because many teachers are very young, especially English teachers, many teachers do not wear glasses and many teachers wear casual clothes.3. Happy College DaysSample1:The most impressive experience for me is running for the chair of the Student Union. I used to be very timid. That experience, however, helped me gain much confidence. For the first time, I made a public speech and realized, all at once, that I had the potential to organize. One thing that shouldn’t be left out is thatmy friends and classmates gave me enormous support. I did appreciate what they had done for me.Sample 2:I believe that the New Year’s Eve of 2004 can never be erased from my mind. Thousands of students gathered in the auditorium waiting for the new year. We held the lighted candles in our hands, our hearts beating with the rhythm of the music. Minutes went by. When the big clock finally turned straight upward, screams and laughter resonated in the hall. We hugged and said New Year’s greetings to each other. It was such a thrilling moment.4.

If you ask me1If you ask me, real life is not all it's cracked up to be. Twelve years at school and three years at university, teachers banging on about opportunities in the big wide world beyond our sheltered life as students, and what do I find?2 Try as I might to stay cheerful, all I ever get is hassle, sometimes with people (especially boys, god, when will they grow up?), but mostly with money. It's just so expensive out here! Everyone wants a slice off you. The Inland Revenue wants to deduct income tax, the bank manager wants repayments on my student loan, the landlord wants the rent, gas, water, electricity and my mobile bills keep coming in, and all that's before I've had anything to eat. And then some bright spark calls me out of the blue, asking if I'm interested in buying a pension. At this rate, I won't even last till the end of the year, let alone till I'm 60.3 I didn't really want to go out to work just yet. I mean, I wasn't a dropout and I knew I'd have to some day. According to any number of people "life's not a picnic", "there's no such thing as a free lunch". But given that I'd got a good degree, I thought I'd like to go on to get my master's. Actually, I had my eye on the course at the London School of Economics (LSE) . Top school, very good for my CV. But I talked to my mum about it, and she said she couldn't afford to support me any more. I kind of understand it, and not just because my degree is in economics. She'd worked hard for 15 years to give me an education. My dad wasn't around most of the time, and when he was, he didn't have any money. He'd spent it gambling on the dogs or down the pub. So it came to the point when I just agreed with Mum, and bowed myself towards the inevitable.4 If you ask me, and despite everything you hear, fortunately there are some really nice people out there. Take Mike, for example. When I left university, what I thought was that my mum would feel obliged to look after me if I returned home. So I packed up my belongings and went to London to get a job. I wanted something in finance and investments, because you know, maybe with a job like that, I could use my degree. But by that time, there were no jobs left, and I didn't really want to end up in some boring office, doing photocopies and making the tea.5 Go anywhere you like in London and there's usually a good pub. The day I realized no one in the city was going to offer me a job, I went into The Salisbury on Leadenhall Street for a drink and something to eat. Mike the landlord was at the bar, pouring pints with one hand, making sandwiches with the other, and washing the glasses all at the same time—it's true, he really did seem to have three hands. He also seemed to know everyone, and greeted the regulars by name, getting their drinks ready with the question, "The usual today, is it?" I thought he looked kind of cool, he was doing what he did best, serving thirsty clients, and no one did it better. So I went up to him and asked him whether there was a job for me.6 Well, to cut a long story short, I started work in the pub one Friday lunch time. It was quite demanding work, but I liked it. People seemed to find me amusing and it made me feel better too. There was one middle-aged regular in a suit who always had a half of bitter and a ham and pickle sandwich, with the crusts cut off. When I saw Tony coming, I tried to have his lunch ready for him even before he asked. He was another one of those really nice people.7 If you ask me, spending money when you don't have any is dead easy. I began to think about how I'd spend my first month's wages. The flat where I was staying was expensive, and I just about had enough to cover the first month's substantial bills. But I calculated that there'dbe just enough money over to treat myself to something. Why not get a CD or maybe a plant to cheer up the flat? I thought.8 It was my birthday on pay day. Apart from Mike and Tony, I didn't have any friends in London. Seeing that I didn't have a boyfriend either, you can understand why I began to feel sorry for myself. So I ordered myself some flowers, and asked them to be sent with a little card, saying "With all my love Anon." The highlight of my birthday would be the confused look on the florist's eyes when he delivered them.9 Later that week, Tony came in as usual and sat down at the bar. "What's wrong with you? Where's that smile gone today?" I talked to him about... well, about pretty well everything, money, the master's, my birthday, the lot. He sympathized with me.10 Tony got up from his stool, and went over to talk to some of the others. Remember: The Salisbury is right in the heart of the city, so all the customers were in banking or insurance or the stock market. Next day he turned up with cheques to the value of £20,000. "This is a loan for you to set up your business. The only collateral you have is my trust in you that one day, you'll pay us back—if you can. And if you can't, too bad, that's the finance business for you. But I think you will."11 I didn't say anything for fear that I was going to cry. What were the odds on anyone being so nice?12 And the flowers? I redirected them to my mum, and they arrived for her on my birthday. She deserved them, don't you think?13 If you ask me, looking back after all these years, you only need one or two breaks in your life to succeed. The fact that the rest is hard work doesn't matter, it's still worth it.14 After a year working at The Salisbury, I got a place at the LSE, did my master's and found a job in an investment bank. I in vested the £20,000, and sold out before the 2008 crash.I paid back Tony and the other investors, with ten per cent annual interest, and set up my own firm. It exceeded all my expectations and is still a thriving business.15 Tony wrote me a thank-you note. He'd been in a car accident, and couldn't walk. The money I paid back would allow him to adapt his house so he could move around it in his wheelchair. This is what he wrote:16 "Thirty-five years in banking, and I've never made a better investment than the loan to you. You've repaid the money with interest, and my trust in you and your honesty 100-fold. If you ask me, investing in people gives the best return you can ever hope for."17 If you ask me, he's right. What do you think?依我看依我看,现实生活并没有人们想象的那么好。

Main idea and structure✧What did the narrator do with his roommate Rob? (Para.1)They made a deal that the narrator gives Rob his leather jacket, and Rob, inexchange, gives the narrator his girlfriend.✧Why did the narrator want to have Polly as his girl friend? (Paras. 2-3)Pretty, well-off, radiant;The right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged, brilliant lawyer;Help the narrator in his competition with other applicants to some elite law firms.●Part I — Paras. 1–3The author sets the scene of the story by providing information about the four “wh-” words: who, where, what, and why. “Who” refers to the narrator, his roommate Rob, and the beautiful girl Polly. “Where” refers to . “What” and “why”refer to what to do and why to do it: The narrator decides to make Polly“” because as a promisingly brilliant lawyer, he wants to have a girlfriend who is not only beautiful but also intelligent.●Part II — Paras. 4-25The narrator tries to help Polly become smarter by giving her lessons in logic.

Structure of the text3. Summary of the text4. Practical phrasesLove and logic: The story of a fallacyMy roommate Rob made a pact with me that he’d give me his girlfriend Polly in exchange for my jacket. And I agreed.Polly had the right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged, brilliant lawyer like myself. She was pretty, well-off, and radiant. Still, I want to dispense her enough pearls of wisdom to make her “well-spok en”.So I tried my best to teach her such logical fallacies as Dicto Simpliciter, Hasty Generalization, Ad Misericordiam, and False Analogy. After five nights of diligent work, I actually made a logician out of Polly. She was an analytical thinker at last.When I asked her to develop our relationship into a romantic one, however, she refuted my arguments as those logical fallacies I had taught her! And she refused my proposition by making full disclosure: She liked Rob in leather, therefore, she had told him to make the pact with me so that Rob could have my jacket .5. Functional patternsCritical thinking:What does the story tell us about love?And what does it tell us about smart people?Can you think of a logical fallacy you have committed? Why is it a fallacy and what caused it?。

Unit 1 Leisure Activities Part I Preparation Useful Information There are some people in society who either has to or want to work all the time. Most people, however, seek ways to socialize, to relax or to have fun during their leisure hours. Obviously people's tastes vary depending on their income and their age. But in recent years, the home entertainment, industry has grown all over the world. Instead of going out to see a movie or taking a walk in a park, people of all ages prefer to turn on the television and stay at home. More and more families have tape recorders, CD players, VCRs and VCDs to add to the variety of leisure activities in the home. In some countries, young people spend hours sitting in front of their computers, surfing on the Internet or playing computer games. Despite the rise in home entertainment, there are still many people who enjoy spending some of their leisure time attending sports events or participating in competitive sports or other physical activities such as dancing and tai chi (shadow boxing). Exercise not only contributes to good health but also takes the mind away from worries and troubles. Concerts, plays and other performances constitute another source of entertainment outside the home. While some people prefer to be entertained, others prefer to be the entertainers. They derive great satisfaction in giving others pleasure by making them laugh or by enabling them to lose themselves in the imaginary world of a play or the relaxing sounds of musi3)
