He happened to pick up some bright yellow particles from the water near his sawmill. Not knowing what they were, he took them to hismaster Mr. Sutter. Sutter immediately realized the importance of the discovery and sent a man to San Francisco to inform the governor of it so that he could get permission to found a settlement on both banks of the river. Unfortunately in the beginning, the man did not believe it. Only after a reporter from a weekly newspaper went to Sutter's sawmill to make a report, did the news spread all over the USA, and even to Europe.Within a month, thousands and thousands of people hurried towards California to search for the valuable metal. Soldiers deserted the army, sailors left their ships and all sorts of people gave up their jobs so as not to miss the chance of becoming rich. Large number of Europeans joined in the search, too. Crowds of people, ships and wagon trains rushed to the same destination. This was the California Gold Rush. While this went on, families were broken up, husbands were taken away from their wives and children from their parents. On their way to California, lots of worshippers of gold lost their lives before they got a single particle of it. Some of them were killed in storms at sea; some could not stand the extraordinary hardships, and died of hunger, cold or illness.The Gold Rush proved a disaster for Sutter himself. For years he tried to drive the prospectors off his land to keep the entire wealth for himself. The prospectors hated him very much, and did a great deal of damage to his business. All Sutter's houses were burned down and all his family, except for himself, were killed. At the end of his life, he became a beggar, whocontinually stopped passers-by in the street to tell them that gold is the devil.1. What lesson can we draw from this story?2.When did the news of the gold discovery spread all over the USA?3. Why were many families broken up and husbands taken away from their wives?4. What happened to Mr. Sutter in the end according to the story?5. What does the story tell us?II.1. In 1848.2.

They did much damage to his business, burned down his houses and killedhis family.Passage II.Functions of MoneyThere is an ancient rhyme about money which goes like this:"How many uses does money have? Four.A means, a measure, a standard, a store. "This rhyme forms an excellent basis for a discussion of the main features and functions of money. Money is a means, it is a means of exchange. It enables us to exchange goods and services. Things valued in terms of money become commodities; they can be bought and sold. Money, whenever it is available, provides the opportunity to obtain useful things or replace old things with new ones.The second thing our rhyme tells us is that money is a measure. It serves as a measure of value. It enables us to measure the value of all kinds of goods and services. The items sold by a large store may be very different from each other, but all without exception can be measured by the same measuring rod, namely money. Two things which are not similar in any way may have the same price.Thirdly, money is a standard of value. This means that money itself possesses a value which can remain approximately constant. To serve as a standard, a thing or a substance must remain fixed and unchangeable in comparison with other things. The amount of money in a country should vary, but it should vary in a regular way. It should correspond to the quantity and value of goods and services available for exchange and circulation in that country; if this quantity and value increases, the amount of money in circulation should be proportionately increased.Finally, money is a "store." We store money just as we store other things. Money does not go bad, though in times of financial crisis it may lose some ofits value. It enables us to provide for future needs and situations. When we save money weekly or monthly and deposit it in a bank, our savings serve as a store of value in general; they give us the opportunity to make our choices later instead of making them immediately. When we store money we store the power to choose or to decide, so that we can use this power on future occasions.1. How many functions does money have?2. Why do we say that money is a means?3. What is the main feature of commodities?4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?5. What happens to money in times of financial crisis?II.1. rhyme, features, functions2.measure, measure of value.3. similar, same price4. "store", store other things5. choose, decide, future occasions.Passage IIICredit CardsAmericans spend a lot of money in their daily lives. Working people spend money on transportation to and from work and on variousexpenses throughout the day. Americans enjoy shopping and buy many things that they need and want. They spend a lot of money on entertainment. They buy sports equipment, go to sporting events and do many things that cost money. However, many Americans don't pay with cash or write checks for these things. More and more, they pay for things with credit cards.Credit cards are small, rectangular plastic cards. Banks give these cards to their customers. When the customer buys something at a store, he shows his card at the store. This authorizes the store to charge the bank for the customer's purchase. The bank collects all the charges for each customer. Then once a month the bank requires the customer to pay all the charges for that month. The bank does not force the customer to pay the full amount. It allows the customer to pay for the charges in several payments over a period of time. However, the bank requires the customers to pay high interest on the unpaid part of the charges.In this way the bank allows customers to buy things they can not afford at one time. People can use the card to buy what they want and pay for it over a period of time. They also do not need to carry a lot of money.

Lesson Four：Judicial System 第四课：司法系统第一部分：法院美国共有52个相互独立的法院系统。

每个州和哥伦比亚特区都有其各自非常完善、独立的法院系统，而且还有一个独立的联邦法院系统。

联邦法院系统并不优越于州法院系统，根据美国宪法第三条第二款的规定它与州法院系统是相互独立、互相配合的系统，其处理特殊的涉及联邦性质的问题。

两个法院系统的并行存在常牵涉到州法院和联邦法院系统的关系问题，且显示出联邦制度的重要问题。

美国联邦最高法院由九位法官组成，他们对于所有这些法院系统的事宜有最终和最高的决定权。

尽管只有少数州，如内布拉斯加州，采用的是两级模式的法院系统，但是大部分州，包括联邦的法院系统都是三级模式。

那就意味着每位诉讼当事人都有权到审判法院起诉，如果败诉，那么还有两级上诉，而他最终有可能在这上诉中胜诉。

例如，在联邦系统中的审判法院是联邦地区法院，其在每个州至少设立一个。

很多大的州则被分成两个、三个甚至四个司法辖区，这取决于其人口多少、地理情况和案件数量。

美国一共有94个辖区而且每个辖区法院都有一个法官，或者更多是两个以上法官。

若在地区法院得到了不利的判决，当事人可上诉到地区法院所在地的巡回区的联邦上诉法院。

联邦系统内共有11个以数字顺序命名的中级上诉法院，每个法院都包括三到十个州和属地辖区。

另外，哥伦比亚特区还设有一个上诉法院，专门审理来自哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院的上诉案件，还有一个联邦巡回区上诉法院，受理各种联邦专门法院例如索赔法院的上诉案件。

每个上诉法院都有四名以上的法官，他们组成三人的合议庭来审理地区法院的判决和行政机关的一些决定。

在上诉法院中败诉的一方当事人，在某些案件中，可能申请到联邦最高法院的审查。

州法院所管辖的案件通常的法院审判程序是审判法院、州上诉法院，然后是州最高法院。

如果州最高法院的判决牵涉到联邦宪法的问题，其可能被联邦最高法院来审查。

从1988年始，最高法院对民事案件的审查是自由裁量的；实际上所有民事案件都作为权利而可以上诉到最高法院的作法已经被废除了。

L4Part 1 Intensive ReadingXinhua Dictionary, 50 Years On“I killed the wrong goose,” a man plained in his letter to the editors of the Xinhua Dictionary.It was the 1970s. The man, a goose farmer, wanted to kill a male goose. He didn't know the difference between male and female geese.so he turned to the dictionary for help.“Goose: a kind of poultry (家禽).”it read.“The males have a yellow bump(突起物) on their head.”The man chose a goose that matched the description. But when he opened its stomach, many eggs poured out onto the counter, and the man was angry.The dictionary entry (词条) wasn't totally wrong. However, it didn't make it clear that all geese have a yellow bump on their head.Males just have bigger ones. The dictionary 's editors corrected the error in the next edition (版次).Since its birth in 1953, the Xinhua Dictionary has been used as an encyclopedia by people across China. More than 600 million copies have been sold. Few books have remained so popular for so many years.When the dictionary was first published, the name Xinhua bore the hope of a country reborn. In 1949, about 80 percent of China's population was illiterate (不识字的). Although one of its early editions failed the goose farmer, Xinhua succeeded in opening up knowledge and opportunities 一to millions of Chinese people. “I got my first dictionary in 1971 and I still treasure it," said a woman in her 50s. “I had no education when I was little. The dictionary helped me get into high school."Over the past 50 years, the dictionary has been revised (修正)many times.“鲟(sturgeon)”was once explained as“edible(可食用的)." Later editions made it clear that it was “an animal in danger.Similarly,“豹(leopards)”are no longer“wild animals whose fur can be made into clothes.”Recent editions have included many new explanations. The character “晒”(to dry something under the sun)，for example, now has a second meaning: to share. Popular expressions like“初心”(original intention) and “点赞”(to give somebody a thumbs up) have also been added to the dictionary.In a way, Xinhua hasn’t just explained words; it has shaped the way Chinese people think.“Primary school positions across China are similar,”read a 2010 article in Southern Weekly (《南方周末》).“When children write about a spring outing, the sky is always ‘cloudless for tenthousand miles.’They will always “sing and dance’on the way.”“Both sentences, the article added, “are based on examples in the Xinhua Dictionary.Part2 Choose1.

In a recent single year, there were more than 150 thousand foreign students who came to the United States' institutions of higher learning. They were welcomed and most were successful in their academic studies. Foreign students who study in the United States benefit a lot from the educational system of the United States.Three developments in the United States higher education that the students are benefiting from today started more than a century ago following the Civil War. The first of these was the rapid growth of the technological and professional education to meet the urgent demands of a complex industrial and urban society. New schools of technology, engineering, architecture, law and medicine flourished. The second was the provision for graduate study, such as what had long existed in France and Germany. Harvard and John Hopkins Universities quickly took the lead in this field, but the state universities did not lag far behind. The third was the increased provision for the education of women. This included the establishment of new women's colleges, such as Vassar, Wellesley and Smith, and the adoption of co-education in all the new state universities outside the South as well as in many private institutions: Thesedevelopments, the growth of the technological and professional education, the provision for graduate study, and the increased educational opportunities for women began over a century ago, well over thirteen decades since the end of the Civil War.Exercises with Key1.

In the US children must go to school from the age of 6 to between the ages of 14 and 16, depending on the state they live in.In England and Wales, the subjects taught in schools are laid down by the National Curriculum. The National Curriculum was introduced in 1988 and it sets out in detail the subjects that children should study and the levels of achievement they should reach by the ages of 7, 11, 14 and 16, when they are tested. The National Curriculum does not apply in Scotland. where each school decides what subjects it will teach. In the US, the subjects taught are decided by national and local governments. Whereas British schools usually have prayers and religious instruction, American schools are not allowed to include prayers or to teach particular religious beliefs.At 15 or 16, students in England and Wales take GCSE examinations. At 18, some students take A-level examinations, usually in not more than 3 subjects. It is necessary to have A-levels in order to go to a university or polytechnic. In Scotland students take the SCE examinations. A year later, they can take examinations called HIGHERS, after which they can either go straight to a university or spend a further year at school and take the Certificate of Sixth Year Studies. In the US, school examinations are not as important as they are in Britain. Students in High Schools do have exams at the end of their last two years, but these final exams are considered along with the work that the students have done during the school years.In American high schools there is a formal ceremony for Graduation. Students wear a special cap and gown and receive a diploma from the head of the school. At the end of their junior year, at age 17 or 18, students hold parties in the evening.
