They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools in Nanjing.2. Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot of the key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.3. They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do it properly.4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5. Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively by oneself.7.

Englishwas first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit 8 Protecting Our EnvironmentVocabularyI1.1)barking2)evil3)brooding;hatched4)migrant5)tragedies 6)counterpart7)arecomplaining/co-mplain8)grim9)flocks; fedon10)vegetation11)patches12)Scores of2.1)was lined with people who came to welcome thedistinguished foreign guests.2)the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office.3)wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie starpassed the crowed unnoticed.4)looked deserted.5)were stricken by it.3.1)patches; came into full bloom; were puzzled; mysterious2)throbbed with; sickened; migrant; a chorus3)had crept into; flickered; the starkII.Word Formation1.Compound words age-oldair force daughter-in-law first-rate greenhousehalf brother ice-cream lifelikelight year salespersonself-centeredthreefoldoverusestone-stillworldwideChinese meaning古老的空军儿媳妇一流的温室同母异父兄弟；同父异母兄弟冰淇淋逼真的光年售货员；推销员以自己为中心的，自私的三倍过度使用石头似的一动不动全世界范围的；在世界范围内2.1)poverty-strickenpeople2)heart-breaking news3)newly-built database4)well-fed kids 5)successful spacewalk6)peace-loving people7)need-basedscholarships8)color-blind peopleIII.Confusable Words1.lyingidyin5.liey7.lieyy10.liesComprehensive Exercises I.cloze1.(1)spell(2)stricken(3)misfortunes(4)surroundings(5)blossom/bloom(6)migrant (7)deserted(8)silence(9)sickened(10)h atch(11)p uzzled(12)i n harmony with2.(1)rate(2)publication(3)dangerous(4)banned (5)export(6)profit(7)accept(8)comprehend(9)boundaries(10)u ltimatelyII.Translation1.1)This is a prosperous town, but there is still povertyin the midst of wealth and abundance.2)The Brown family was stricken with one misfortune afteranother, but their children never complained.3)The museum is designed in such a way that it stands inperfect harmony with its surroundings.4)It was a miracle that these flowers did not wither atall in the blazing sun.5)Flocks of sheep feed on the patches of vegetation thatrise above the winter snow.2.This village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings. All the year round, the trees were green and the flowers in bloom. Clear streams flowed out of the hills through a checkerboard of rice fields. Birds sang all day, and deer came and went in a leisurely manner. However, with the coming of DDT and other pesticides, an evil spell seemed to havesettled over the village. Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was nowdeserted.enjoy the trust of 得到...的信任have / put trust in 信任in trust 受托的，代为保管的take ...on trust对...不加考察信以为真trust on 信赖give a new turn to 对~~予以新的看法turn around / round 转身，转过来，改变意见turn back 折回，往回走turn …away 赶走……，辞退……，把……打发走，转脸不睬，使转变方向turn to…转向……，（for help）向……求助，查阅，变成；着手于think through…思考……直到得出结论，想通think of 想到，想起，认为，对……有看法/想法。

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit 8 Protecting Our Environment VocabularyI1.1)barking2)evil3)brooding;hatched 4)migrant5)tragedies6)counterpart7)arecomplaining/co-mplain8)grim9)flocks; fed on10)vegetation 11)patches 12)Scores of2.1)was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreignguests.2)the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office.3)wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed thecrowed unnoticed.4)looked deserted.5)were stricken by it.3.1)patches; came into full bloom; were puzzled; mysterious2)throbbed with; sickened; migrant; a chorus3)had crept into; flickered; the starkII.Word Formation1.Compound words age-oldair force daughter-in-law first-rate greenhousehalf brother ice-cream lifelikelight year salesperson self-centered threefold overusestone-stillworldwideChinese meaning古老的空军儿媳妇一流的温室同母异父兄弟；同父异母兄弟冰淇淋逼真的光年售货员；推销员以自己为中心的，自私的三倍过度使用石头似的一动不动全世界范围的；在世界范围内2.1)poverty-stricken people2)heart-breaking news3)newly-built database4)well-fed kids 5)successful spacewalk6)peace-loving people7)need-based scholarships8)color-blind peopleIII.Confusable Words1.lyingidyin5.liey7.lieyy10.liesComprehensive ExercisesI.cloze1.(1)spell (2)stricken(3)misfortunes(4)surroundings(5)blossom/bloom(6)migrant(7)deserted (8)silence(9)sickened(10)hatch(11)puzzled(12)in harmony with2.(1)rate(2)publication(3)dangerous(4)banned (5)export(6)profit(7)accept(8)comprehend(9)boundaries(10)ultimatelyII.Translation1.1)This is a prosperous town, but there is still poverty in the midst ofwealth and abundance.2)The Brown family was stricken with one misfortune after another, buttheir children never complained.3)The museum is designed in such a way that it stands in perfectharmony with its surroundings.4)It was a miracle that these flowers did not wither at all in the blazingsun.5)Flocks of sheep feed on the patches of vegetation that rise above thewinter snow.2.This village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings. All the year round, the trees were green and the flowers in bloom. Clear streams flowed out of the hills through a checkerboard of rice fields.

Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.。
