Unit 1The Internet has made English learning much easier. English learners used to be obliged to spend their time in libraries looking for the books that would help them in their language studies. It was very inconvenient because a lot of materials could only be found in tedious and uninteresting textbooks and readers. But today authentic content on a variety of subjects is only a click away. This is especially beneficial for those who wants to learn English earnestly.In order to achieve fluency in English, you need to be comfortable using at least 10, 000 words. The abundant materials on the Internet make it possible for you to choose appropriate content to read and listen to. These materials can be adjusted to your level if you input some key words in the search engine. But how can you remember the bulk of unfamiliar words？In this case, the Internet evidently makes it easier to learn vocabulary. You can use online dictionaries to instantly find out their grammatical functions and the specific meaning of these words. The Internet helps you to efficiently accumulate vocabulary based on lively and interesting language content, which greatly reduces your distress caused by inability to remember the new words. The efficiency of this vocabulary learning is one of the reasons why the Internet has become an ideal place to learn English.Unit 2Through exploration of the humanities, we learn how to think creatively and critically, to analyze, and to ask questions. Because these skills allow us to gain new insight into everything from poetry and paintings to business models and politics, humanistic subjects have been at the heart of a liberal arts education since the ancient Greeks first used them to educate their citizens.Research into the human experience helps to boost our knowledge about our world. Through the work of humanities scholars, we learn about the values of different cultures, about what goes into making a work of art, and about the mystery of how history is made. Their efforts depict the great accomplishments of the past, help us understand the world today, and give us tools to imagine the prospect of our future.Today, humanistic knowledge continues to promote the ideal foundation for exploring and understanding the human experience. Learning another language might help to invest you with great insights as well as gain much appreciation of different cultures. Taking a close look at a sculpture might make you think about how an artist's life affected his creative decisions. Reading a book from another region of the world might help you speculate about the meaning of democracy. Listening to history courses might give you a clearer picture of what the future will be like.Unit 3There is a special life stage that our generation goes through. It is the transition period, during which we move from teenage to adolescence. We learn who we are and what we stand for and what inspires us. Also, in this period we are saddled with a lot of pressure from our parents who want us to make something out of ourselves.My parents have already expressed feelings of anxiety over my future with academics and life. When I expressed to them recently that I would not mind graduating in five years instead of four in order to study abroad to acquaint myself with the world, they seemed so shocked. That idea sounded foreign and to them was equivalent to lack of ambition.Apart from that, my mother has expressed to me that she is worried that I am not searching for a boyfriend. I resent this stupid idea of marrying out of college since it does not suit me one bit. Women today can get what they want out of life without a man, even children, as it becomes more acceptable for women to adopt children.I personally want to stay in school as long as I can to reinforce my academic work, possibly complete a law degree and start a career, and then after, and only after, begin to think about shifting to marriage. If my math is correct, that means I will be more or less 'ready' for marriage at the age of 29 or 30, the age when my mother had me.Unit 4Traditional dating is a self-paced, general meeting of two people. The two usually commence with spending extra time together, getting to know one another and seeing how tempting they could be to each other. A good example is a man meeting a woman and sensing her charm. He then extends a formal invitation for a date. With traditional dating, you get to go at a steady pace, allowing yourself and your date to get to know each other through extensive contact.There are many components that can be expected from traditional dates. Men, who are supposed to display these traditional values, will open the door for the woman, stand up when she leaves the table, pay for everything, and proceed to the next move. In the1950s, a man would usually ask a woman out several days ahead for a specific date and time. If she accepted, they would arrange for a time to pick her up. He would then take her to a dinner and a movie.Today the rules of traditional dating are less clear. Twenty years ago, if a young lady asked a men out on a date, it was thought to be weird. Now, women are being encouraged to take the initiative and ask men out. A date may consist of a brief meeting at a café or a trip to the local art museum. Men often pay on the first date, but the woman may offer to go Dutch. The traditional dating style has been found much less common now.Unit 5To spend or save is a question which many people have. There is always a(n) dilemma whether one should spend the money that he has earned or save that money for the future. Well, there is no explicit answer to the question as different people have different perspectives on their life, and that is the reason why some people tend to spend all the money earned while others retain control over their money.People who spend all the money do not think much about the future. The only thing that they enjoy doing most is to derive pleasure from spending money. For example, if they like a particular car, mobile phone or laptop, they will buy it without giving it a thought. For them, the most important thing is to satisfy their material appetite. People who have their first job or who haven't married often fall in this category.In the long run, saving is a good option for one's life as saving helps an individual to plan for future urgent needs. That is also the reason why many people save money for a rainy day. Individuals who can suspend their spending save money successfully. Instead of buying on impulse, they delay their purchasing decision and won't be easily manipulated by commercial ads. Individuals who have responsibility for their family belong to this category.Unit 6Simplifying is not necessarily about less. It can be about more: more time, more enjoyment, more accomplishment, and more of what profits you. If you do a lot of things that don't bring you joy or support your long-term plan, then doing less of that kind of things makes sense because you can't preserve everything. The purpose of simplifying is to remove what's not important.To understand what should be discarded, try to think of activities and things as either assets or obligations. An asset is something that is valuable. Some corresponding examples are stocks, bonds, buildings, land, gold, etc. , but a little more broadly, an asset is anything that can strengthen and motivate you, moving you closer to your goals. However, obligations are debts. An obligation is anything that weakens you, moves you farther from your goals, provides negative stress, creates anxiety, and decreases your health.Then how can you implement the idea of simplifying? Think about your daily activities and start with just one area. For example, you may begin with obligation by making a long list of your daily activities. Your list may revolve around such routines as paying bills and planning a birthday party for a friend, etc. Do the activities get you closer to your goals? If not, modify the list. Remove what is unnecessary in order to concentrate more on something important in your life.Unit 7It's obvious that women have come a long way as successful professionals. Women in the workplace are flourishing as an increased number of women have made their presence felt in many industries and professions. The sector of the female workforce has expanded with more and more strength and thus has its genuine importance in the professional world.Whether they like it or not, men have to accept that women are marching up the management ladder confidently and diplomatically. Women used to be much more "quiet and passive" due to the relatively small number of female employees in comparison to males. Women today, on the other hand, have begun seeking their administrative positions by using all their powers of intelligence.Men are hierarchical and jealous of the "beauty power" that allows women to get certain things based on their physical assets. Even though there is a(n) dispute whethermany professional females got into positions of power by using their appearance to their advantage, the valid fact is the majority of women have worked hard to achieve their desired success.Women were considered as bystanders in the workplace for many years and it was believed that the only jobs that they could handle were those of teachers or secretaries, but today's women can not only hold their own positions in the workplace, but they also have the dual task of raising their families.Unit 8The animal rights movement is a social movement which seeks an end to using animals in the research, food, clothing, and entertainment industries, hence being called animal liberation. It advocates the idea that the most basic interests of non-human creatures should be afforded the same consideration as those of human beings.Advocates lobby for animal rights from different aspects, ranging from the focus on animal suffering in laboratories to the argument that insists on not casting animals as properties of human beings. Despite the different approaches, advocates broadly consent to the opinion that animals should be viewed as non-human members of the moral community and should be omitted from being food, clothing, entertainment, or research subjects. The idea of awarding rights to animals wins the support of several prominent scholars.However, some critics argue that animals are unable to enter into a social contract or moral compass and for that reason cannot be granted rights. Only humans have duties and, therefore, only humans have rights. There is nothing wrong or evil about using animals as resources so long as there is no unnecessary suffering. From within the animal rights movement itself, there has also been criticism of certain forms of animal rights activism, in particular the destruction of fur farms and animal laboratories.。

Therefore, the communication skills are very much like the foundation for a person to be a good leader. To improve communication skills, I will follow the steps below.The first step I will take is to read books about good communication skills. From them, I can learn some theory and tips that can guide me.Reading books alone is not enough. With some tips of good communication acquired from reading, will also consult professionals. That is, I will take some courses that can train me to communicate effectively. With the help of the teachers. my communication skills will improve faster.After reading books and taking the courses, I will practice the communicationskills in the daily life because learning without practicing is of no use. A good way to do this is to join student clubs. For example, the public speaking club is agood choice.I hope the steps above will help me improve the communication skills that are essential to be a leader. iExplore 23-5 iExplore 2: ReadingViewingReference:1.Life begins the edge of your comfort zone.2.This quote tells us that it's important that one steps outof the comfort zone, makes braver decisions and takes bolder actions.

新一代大学英语（基础篇）综合教程2 unit3答案3-2iExplore1:ReadingViewingABABAI think we can manage the fear of speaking in public. As long as we are clear about the reasons behind this fear, we can "manage" it. Some of us dare not speak in public because of lack of self-confidence or experience. In that case, we should first believe that we have something worth sharing and then seek and make use of public speaking opportunities, for example, speaking up in class or in small groups, to practice our skills. For others of us, the source of fear comes from external factors, such as the concern that the audience will not be interested in our topic. A simple way to get rid of the anxiety is to get to know as much as possible about our audience and then tailor our talk to engage the audience.Frankly speaking, I haven't had any positive experiences with public speaking up to now. In high school, I couldn't give a good publicspeech no matter how hard I had tried. But I still believe that with practice, I can learn to manage my nervousness and convey my message confidently and clearly in front of a crowd.I think I should take a couple of measures to cope with the difficulty of speaking in public. On the one hand, I should let go of the negative memories of the past experiences, learn from them and find the reasons for my fear. On the other hand, I should learn some public speaking skills, adopt what works for me and do much practice until I can give an effective presentation. With time and practice, I will feel more comfortable in front of my audience and become more confident in myself.3-3iExplore1:Building your languageWords and expressionsengagesustaincaptureddistractedfrequentcompetencereluctant demonstratesdumbs down think on your feet watered down add up tothinkthrough dedicatetostriking a balance in secretCollocationsinonininonfordevelop their abilities / develop the abilities Communicative competence / Conversational competence draw the attentionlose the abilityexchange ideas / share ideasdistracted her attentionVocabulary learning strategiespersonalremovaleducationalverbalproposalexperimentalapprovaladditionaladditionalapprovalpersonalproposaleducationalexperimentalLanguage focusNever have I seen or heard ofNo sooner had the teacher entered the classroomAt no time did I meanSeldom do students visit their professorsUnder no circumstances should you comment negatively will he be allowedBanked clozestruggledoverlookedinterpersonalreliancenegativecriticalimpactseriouslystrikeconfidentiExplore23-4iExplore2:ReadingViewingopen-ended / open endedwhenwhyclosesummarizeevery wordEngage withfacetimeshoutYes, I think they are really effective tips to help us enjoy smooth conversations. Actually, one point of these tips is concentration. We may all have experienced conversations where the other person is in fact absent-minded. While we are trying to push the conversation forward, they may just play with their cellphones and make no eye contact with us. In this case, the conversation can hardly move forward. No, I don't think the tips are effective enough. I think the most important factor for a better conversation is the attitude of the people involved in a conversation. For example, if the person we are talkingto sounds honest and gentle, the chances for an enjoyable conversation are really high. However, if the person looks bossy or rude, we will soon lose the motivation to talk on and will probably end the conversation as soon as possible3-5iExplore2:Building your languageWords and expressionsdullisolationupsetremarknoticeableverbalAABABACollocationstake in1A: Yes, I would like to ask my teacher for help if I cannot understand it.1B: I would never trust any message from unknown sources related to money.1C: It depends.
