全新版⼤学英语综合教程4_Unit5课件A Friend in NeedFor thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen.I do not know very much about them.I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right.I think they must have small insight or great vanity.For my own part I find that the longer I know people the more they puzzle me.These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this morning?s paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at Kobe.He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years.I knew him very little,but he interested me because once he gave me a great surprise.Unless I had heard the story from his own lips,I should never have believed that he was capable of such an action.It was more startling because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite type.Here if ever was a man all of a piece.He was a tiny little fellow, not much more than five feet four inheight,and very slender,with white hair,ared face much wrinkled,and blue eyes.Isuppose he was about sixty when I knewhim.He was always neatly and quietlydressed in accordance with his age andstation.Though his offices were in Kobe,Burton often came down to Yokohama.I happened on one occasion to be spending a few days there,waiting for a ship,and I was introduced to him at the British Club.We played bridge together.He played a good game and a generous one. He did not talk very much,either then or later when we were having drinks,but what he said was sensible.He had a quiet,dry humor.He seemed to be popular at the club and afterwards,when he had gone,they described him as one of the best.It happened that we were bothstaying at the Grand Hotel and next day he asked me to dine with him.I met his wife,fat,elderly,and smiling, and his two daughters.It was evidently a united and affectionate family.I think the chief thing that struck me about Burton was his kindliness.There was something very pleasing in his mild blue eyes.His voice was gentle; you could not imagine that he could possibly raise it in anger;his smile was benign.Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows.At the same time he liked his game of cards andhis cocktail,he could tell with point a good and spicy story,and in his youth he had been something of an athlete.He was a rich man and he had made every penny himself.I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so small and frail;he aroused your instincts of protection.You felt that he could not bear to hurt a fly.One afternoon I was sitting in the lounge of the Grand Hotel when Burton came in and seated himself in the chair next to mine.…What do you say to a little drink??He clapped his hands for a boy and ordered two gin fizzes. As the boy brought them a man passed along the street outside and seeing me waved his hand.…Do you know T urner?? said Burton as I nodded a greeting.…I?ve met him at the club. I?mtold he?s a remittance man.?…Yes, I believe he is. We have agood many here.?…He plays bridge well.?…They generally do.There was a fellow here last year, oddly enough a namesake of mine,who was the best bridge player I ever met.I suppose you never came across him in London.Lenny Burton he called himself.I believe he?d belonged to some very good clubs.?…No,I don?t believe I remember the name.?…He was quite a remarkable player.He seemed to have an instinct about the cards.It was uncanny.I used to play with him a lot.He was in Kobe for some time.?Burton sipped his gin fizz.…It?s rather a funny story,?he said.…He wasn?t a bad chap.I liked him.He was always well-dressed and smart-looking.He was handsome in a way with curly hair and pink-and-white cheeks.Women thought a lot of him. There was no harm in him,you know,he was only wild. Of course he drank too much.Those sort of fellows do.A bit of money used tocome on for him once a quarter andhe made a bit more by card-playing.He won a good deal of mine,I knowthat.?Burton gave a kindly chuckle.I knew from my own experience that he could lose money at bridge with a good grace.He stroked his shaven chin with his thin hand;the veins stood out on it and it was almost transparent.…I suppose that is why he came to me when he went broke,that and the fact that he was a namesake of mine. He came to see me in my office oneday and asked me for a job.I wasrather surprised.?He told me that therewas no more money coming from homeand he wanted to work.I asked himhow old he was.…“Thirty-five,”he said.…“And what have you been doing hitherto?”I asked him.…“Well,nothing very much,”he said.…I couldn?t help laughing.…“I?m afraid I can?t do anything for you just yet,”I said.“Come back and see me in another thirty-five years,and I?ll see what I can do.”…He didn?t move.He went rather pale.He hesitated for a moment and then he told me that he had had bad luck at cards for some time.He hadn?t been willing to stick to bridge,he?d been playing poker,and he?d got trimmed.He hadn?t a penny.He?d pawned everything he had.He couldn?t pay his hotel bill and they wouldn?t give him any more credit.He was down and out.If he couldn?t get something to do he?d have to commit suicide.…I looked at him for a bit.I could see now that he was all to pieces.He?d been drinking more than usual and he looked fifty.The girls wouldn?t have thought so much of him if they?d seen him then.…“Well isn?t there anything you can do except play cards?”I asked him.…“I can swim,”he said.…“Swim!”…I could hardly believe my ears;it seemed such an insane answer to give.…“I swam for my university.”…I got some glimmering of whathe was driving at.I?ve known toomany men who were little tin gods attheir university to be impressed by it.…“I was a pretty good swimmer myself when I was a young man,”I said.…Suddenly I had an idea.?Pausing in his story,Burton turned to me.…Do you know Kobe?? he asked.…No,? I said, …I passed through it once, but I only spent a night there.?…Then you don?t know the Shioya Club.When I was a young man I swam from there round the beacon and landed at the creek of T arumi.It?s over three miles and it?s rather difficult on account of the currents round the beacon.Well,I told my young namesake about it and I said to him that if he?d do it I?d give him a job.…I could see he was rather taken aback.…“You say you?re a swimmer,”I said.…“I?m not in very good condition,”he answered.…I didn?t say anything.I shrugged my shoulders.He looked at me for a moment and then he nodded.…“All right,”he said.“When do you want me to do it?”…I looked at my watch.It was just after ten.…“The swim shouldn?t take you much over an hour and a quarter.I?ll drive round to the creek at half past twelve and meet you.I?ll take you back to the club to dress and then we?ll have lunch together.”…“Done,”he said.…We shook hands.I wished him good luck and he left me.I had a lot of work to do that morning and I only just managed to get to the creek at T arumi at half past twelve.But I needn?t have hurried;he never turned up.?…Did he funk it at the last moment??I asked.…No,he didn?t funk it.He startedall right.But of course he?d ruined hisconstitution by drink and dissipation.The currents round the beacon weremore than he could manage.We didn?tget the body for about three days.?I didn?t say anything for a moment or two.I was a trifle shocked.Then I asked Burton a question.…When you made him that offer of a job,did you know he?d be drowned??He gave a little mild chuckle and he looked at me with those kind and candid blue eyes of his.He rubbed his chin with his hand.…Well,I hadn?t got a vacancy in my office at the moment.?For my own part I find that the longer I know people the more they puzzle me.1. What does “for my own part” mean?It means “as far as I am concerned”.2. Translate this sentence into Chinese.拿我⾃⼰来说，我发现，认识⼀个⼈的时间越长，我就越感到困惑。

“如果在45岁，我仍然膝下无子，我会考虑我自己的一个孩子，”她说。

但它不是作为依赖于它，如果她的个人价值的实现感。

短短的几十年前，Petropoulou和她的朋友们可能已经考虑好，奇数。

新世纪⼤学英语4（第⼆版）综合教学教程第4册Unit5答案解析Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook FourUnit Five: LifestylesPart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇Work in pairs or groups and discuss the following questions.1.What kind of lifestyle do you live now?2.Do you believe in the saying “a penny saved is a penny earned”?3.What are some of the things that come to your mind when we talk abouthealthy lifestyles? Make a list of healthy lifestyles and share your answers with your group members.▇Answers for reference:1. A sample answer:As a university student, I live a simple and plain life. I get up early in the morning and then attend classes. In the late afternoon I play basketball or football. If I do not have classes during the day, I usually go to the library to do some reading or go to the computer center to search for some information related to my studies. In the evening I review or preview my lessons either in the classroom or in the dormitory. During weekends I sometimes go shopping or go to a movie with my classmates.2. A possible answer:Yes. This saying tells us that saving money is as good as earning it. Saving is not only a good habit but also an important step on the way to financial well-being, both in the short term and in the long run. In the short term, it gives us an emergency cushion in the event that an unforeseen, large and urgent expense arises. In the long term, a consistent pattern of saving can enable us to accomplish our financial goals, such as financing a college education, a home purchase, or a retirement. So we should be thrifty and don’t spend money on things we don’t really need.3. A sample answer:Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about lifestyles and discuss in pairs what you can learn from them.Jack Kerouac⊙Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.—Jack KerouacInterpretation:Trends and fads come and go quickly, and popular opinions of the day may not represent ever-lasting truth. Those who wish to accomplish something extraordinary must not be slavish to trends and fads or popular beliefs. Instead, they should break away from the “following the herd”mentality and be extraordinarily innovative.About Jack Kerouac (1922-1969): a US writer who was a leading figure of the1950sBeat Generation. His most famous novel is On the Road (《在路上》), which describes the adventures of two friends as they travel across the United States.Margaret Mead⊙We are living beyond our means. As a people we have developed a lifestyle that is draining the earth of its priceless and irreplaceable resources without regard for the future of our children and people all around the world.—Margaret MeadInterpretation:In this quote, Margaret Mead rightly points out that the American way of life has given rise to a wasteful society and that it is doing a lot of harm to the earth and hence to mankind as a whole. If we do not make changes in our lifestyles today, our children are doomed to suffer from lack of irreplaceable resources in the future.About Margaret Mead (1901-1978): a US anthropologist, who studied the ways in which parents on the islands of Samoa, Bali, and New Guineas taught their children. She also tried to discover whether males and females are born with the differences in behaviour that they show, or whether they lean to behave differently as they grow up in a particular society.Charlie Chaplin⊙The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.—Charlie Chaplin Interpretation:In this quote, Chaplin points out the danger of seeking luxuries. Luxuries are not necessities. Many people work hard to seek luxuries in life —they purchase luxury goods and services and always long for possessions that they do not necessarily need. In doing so, they have gradually become slaves to those luxuries. They may feel “abundance”for a while but they can never enjoy ever-lasting happiness, and their souls can never be uplifted. Moreover, those who are used to luxuries may live beyond their means and get into debt, and debt robs a man of his self-respect. Indeed, it is sad to see a person indulge in luxuries and possessions.About Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977): a British actor and director who worked mainly in the US in humorous silent films during the 1920s. He usually appeared as a humorous character who had a small moustache, a bowler hat, and a walking stick, and who walked in a funny way with the backs of his feet together and his toes pointing out to the sides.Samuel Johnson⊙Without frugality none can be rich, and with it very few would be poor.—Samuel JohnsonInterpretation:Here Samuel Johnson advises us to be thrifty or economical with the use of our resources. Frugality is a virtue while extravagance is a sin.
