Freedom in the world国际商务第五版英文 课后作业

Answer the following questions from the texts:Unit 1:1．Which sentence in the first paragraph establishes the link between the driving of a nail and the choice of a word?So with language firmly and exactly.2. what does the word “this” in sentence 1,para 2, refer to?Getting the word that is completely right for the writer’s purpose.3．Do you agree with the author that there is a great deal of truth in the seemingly stupid question “How can I know what I think till I see what I say?”The question sounds irrational, but is true. Unless we have found the exact words to verbalize our own thoughts, we can never be very sure of what our thoughts are. Without words, our thoughts can not be defined or stated in a clear and precise manner.4. expain why the w ord “imprison” in the example given in para.9, though not a malapropism, is still not the right word for the writer’s purpose?“malapropism”means the unintentional misuse of a word by confusing it with one that resembles it, such as “human” for “humane”, “singularity” for “singleness”. But the misuse of imprison is different case, it is wrongly chosen because the user has failed to recognise its associations.5.Please make comments on the three pairs of examples given in this section.Compare and contrast their differences in meaning.human: of, or relating to man. (human being;human nature; human rights)humane: characterized by kindness, mercy,or compassion. (humane judge,humane officer)Human action = action taken by human;Humane action = merciful action;Human killer = person that kills human;Humane killer = instruments which kill but cause little pain, esp. those for the painless killing of animals.6. what does the word “alive” in the sentence “a student needs to be alive to these differences” (para.9)mean?Sensitive, alert.7. the writer begins his article with an analogy between the unskilled use of the hammer and the improper choice of words. indentify the places where the analogy is referred to in the rest of the article.“we don’t have to look far afield to find the evidence of carpentry”(para.5)“it is perhaps easier to be a good craftman with wood and nail than a good craftsman with words.”(para.9)“a good carpenter is not distinguished by the number of his tools, but by the craftsmanship with which he uses them. So a good writer is not measured by the extent of his vocabulary, but by his skill in finding the “mot juste”, the word that will hit the nail cleanly on the head.”(para.11)Unit 3:1. In the Hoffmann’s opinion “simplicity”is the best word to describe the essense of Einstein’s character. The abstract notion of simplicity is explained by a phrase in the first paragraph. Which is it?“going instinctively to the heart of a matter”2. from the two anecdotes related in paras.2-4, what impression of Einstein have you got?Einstein was a very modest, never thinking himself any superior to or more authoritative than others because of his fame and achievements as a great scientist of the time.3. what, according to the author, is Einstein’s most outstanding trait as a scientist?Concentration. Refer to the first sentence of Paragraph 9.4. why did Einstein insist on working hard when he was so badly shaken by his wife’s death?Working hard requires concentration, which would help him to dispel the feeling of sorrow.5. how do you interpret the sentence in para.11 “to help him, I steeered the discussion away from routine matters into more difficult theoretical problems”? Tackling more difficult theoretical problems requires greater concentration and absorption. This would help him temporarily forget the sadness caused by his wife’s death..6. what revelation is made through Einstein’s comment on Beethoven and Mozart’s works?As a simple man, Einstein takes it that beauty exists in the Universe. Such beauty is natural, pure, and simple. Beauty found is even greater and more admirable than beauty created.7. how did Einstein feel about the destructive effect produced as a result of the application of his E=mc2 formula?This is something he had not expected. He was greatly dismayed by the devastating effect his formula produced once it was put into application.8.with his favorite anecdote related in para.19, Hoffmann aims to illustrate Einstein’s whimsically. Do you think he is really a whimsical man? What personality trait other than being whimsical is revealed here?He was not really a whimsical man. If he could be called a whimsical man, then his whimsicality came from the young heart and childlike innocence which he had managed to retain.Unit 41.how do you account for Harrington’s use n para.2 of the first person singular,which is not found anywhere else in the passage?To enforce his assertion that the other America did exist though most Americans might not believe it just because they had never been there personally. What Harrington is trying to say is “I myself was once ignorant of its existence, but nowI can prove to you that it does exist.”2.what, according to Harrington, has rendered poverty less visible in ruralAmerica?Refer to paras.4-5Rural poverty is hidden away from tourists who normally travel on highways without penetrating into the country, and sometimes is masked by its natural beauty.3.how has urban development contributed to the reduced awareness of theexistence of the poor?Refer to paras.8-10Urban transformation leads to the distributional segregation of poverty, and urban renewal creates the false impression about the existence of the poor.4.what have mass-production and age to do with the invisiblity of poverty?Refer to paras.11-14Mass production of garments enables even the poor to be decently dressed. Most poor people are aged; they are less mobile and thus less visible.5.how do you understand the statement “the poor are politically invisble”?politically, the poor are not adequately represented; and their voice is not heard an attended to in the political life of the nation.。

U1 Free Falling1.What is the main subject introduced in paragraph one?It is the description of the effect of saying farewell to his parents, friends and folks on the author.2.How is the story organized?The story is chronologically organized (following the time sequence in which the event unfolded itself).3.How did Weckerly feel before the day of his departure?He felt eager and excited to wait for the day to come.4.How did his mood change when the day had really come?At the very beginning he became sentimental about saying good-bye to many people around him. Facing the reality of becoming independent, he began to feel afraid and uncertain .5.What do you think about the ending of the story?It is very impressive. Weckerly ends the story with a metaphor which catches the essence of the particular moment accurately. He compares himself to a rookie skydiver preparing for his first plunge, which leads to possible outcomes: sheer excitement or eventual death. The last sentence "He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and jumps" symbolizes the fact that from that day on the author jumps into the future of being independent no matter how long and complicated the road to it is.U6 The myth of the paperless office1. What are the disadvantages of paper according to the author?Paper takes up precious space, can be in only one place at a time, is extremely hard to index or search through, and lacks all the interactivity and linking ability of hypertext.2. What are the major categories of files in an office?In the office, files can be mainly classified into hot files, documents to be acted on immediately; warm files, still active but of less urgency and cold files, docements that don’t need im mediate attention.3. Why is it unpleasant to read something on a computer screen?Because there are such annoyances as the relatively fuzzy type, glare, the need to scroll repeatedly, the screen’s relatively fixed position and so forth.4. What are the essential problems in using computers in polices departments?First, the police found they spent so much time dealing with the computer interface that they fell short in listening and talking to victims, an essential activity both for offering comfort and for picking up subtle clues to what exactly had happened. Second, the goal of prompt reporting was compromised by the fact that police kept revising their reports after filing them.5. What are the reasons for people’s chimera of going paperless according to the author? Firstly, people who can profit from the idea keep selling it to us. Secondly, all technologies come down to our trying to get what we want, what we desire. And much of what we desire comes down to taking control of ourlives, doing what we please without being overwhelmed by what we don’t please.6.Why cannot computers replace paper in an office?First, paper has some hidden advantages over computers especially in the following three aspects—reading, writing and personal satisfaction in delivery. Furthermore, computers can’treplace paper completely in some activities such as air-traffic control and writing up police reports.U7 Competition is destructive1. Why is competition destructive according to the author? (para. 3)According to the author, competition is destructive because it undermines self-esteem, poisons r elationships and holds us back from doing our best.2.

What is the difference between teamwork and team competition? (para. 8)The difference between teamwork and team competition is that in teamwork everyone on the fie ld is working together for a common goal, while in team competition a given player works with and is encouraged to feel warmly toward only half of those present.4. Why do most kinds of fun require competition? (para. 10, 11, 12)First of all, people don't know any other way or people have never tasted the alternative. Secondly, we overlook the psychological costs of competition: it causes self-doubt and feelings of self-worth become dependent on external sources of evaluation.5. Who is to blame for competition?It is the structure of the game itself thatis to blame rather than the individuals, since it sets competition at the very beginning.U10 Why we strive for status1. What is the writer's attitude in the sentence "The drive for dominance skews our perception, colors our friendships, shapes our moods and affects our health"? (para. 2)The author takes a negative attitude. Usually, the verbs color, shape and affect are neutral in indicating meanings, but in this context they express negative meanings.2. How do you understand the sentence "If the tendency showed up only in certain societies, it would be easier to dismiss as something we learn"? (para. 4)If the relentless one-upmanship were only limited within very few sample groups, it would be easily neglected because we could only regard that as an exception.3. In which way do zoologists support the anthropological point on the biologically endowed one-upmanship?Anthropologists point out that the same pattern can be seen everywhere while the zoologists show a wide variety of animals inferior and superior which illustrate the same pattern too.4.
