新标准⼤学英语_综合教程3_课后答案unit6Unit6Active reading (1)Last man down: the fireman’s storyLanguage points1 Last man down: the fireman’s story (Title)The expression last man down, similar to last man standing, refers to the survivor or winner. The lastman down from the tower before it collapsed would be one of the bravest.2 There were about two dozen of us by the bank of elevators ... (Para 2)A bank of elevators means a set of lifts.3 Some had their turnout coats off, or tied around their waists. (Para 2) Turnout coats are the uniform firefighters wear when they turn out for a fire.4 Others were raring to go. (Para 2)The expression raring to go is an old form of rearing up, and means being eager to go like a horse.5 All of us were taking a beat to catch our breaths, and our bearings, figure out what the hell wasgoing on. (Para 2)To take a beat means to rest for a moment.A bearing is an exact compass reading measured in degrees. To take your bearings is to find where youare. Here it means both physically and mentally.6 We’d been at this thing, hard, for almost an hour, some a little bit less, and we were nowhere closeto done. (Para 2)To be at this thing is a slang expression which means to work on this mission. The expression nowhere close to done means someone is far from completing their work.7 Of course, we had no idea what there was left to do, but we hadn’t made a dent. (Para 2)A dent is a mark on a piece of metal as when you bump your car. To make a dent in something is to havean effect on it (imagine beating a piece of hard steel and not making any mark on it). To make a dent heremeans to achieve something. The firefighters had hardly begun their work.8 As if we could see clear through the ceiling tiles for an easy answer. (Para 3)Looking up for the source of the noise was only useful if you could see through the floors above, but itstill remained an instinctive reaction.9 The building was shaking like in an earthquake, like an amusement park thrill ride gone berserk …(Para 3)The word berserk was originally about ancient Viking warriors who worshipped a bear god (ber). Theywould go into a terrible rage or madness when fighting. It now means utterly and dangerously crazy.10 The way it coursed right through me. (Para 3)To course means to run or flow somewhere quickly. The noise and vibration have a strong physical effecton the writer.11 I thought about my wife and my kids, but only fleetingly and not in any kind of life-flashing-beforemy-eyes sort of way. (Para 4)Life flashing before my eyes is a claim made by someone who has near-death experiences, as in anaccident, of seeing a slow motion version of the most important events in their lives. Researchers say itmay be the reaction of the brain to trauma.Streets full of heroes Unit 619912 Or, “We’ll all meet at the big one.” (Para 4)After any fire, the fighters use the expression the big one to minimize that fire and suggest there willalways be a bigger one coming. It is a brave act of understatement.13 I never knew how it started, or when I’d picked up on it myself, but it was part of our shorthand. (Para 4)To pick up on it means to learn it and start using it. It is a slang expression. Shorthand is a system of writing used for taking down fast speech.

Unit 6 Commercial Litigation Lead-in1.Case StudyBackground NotesCase 1:In 2011, by separate 5-4 and 9-0 votes, the high court said the class action against Wal-Mart had been improperly certified. Women who brought the case, alleging bias in pay and promotions, failed to point to companywide policies that had a common effect on all women covered by the class action. Case 2:PetSmart reached a settlement with Robert Holloway who filed a $1 million lawsuit against the company, saying its manager should have protected him from a hazardous condition created when they allowed animals to defecate on the floor. Although some people would like to side with the store’s employees—it is a pet store, after all—leaving something both disgusting and potentially hazardous around is a proof of negligence.Text AI. Reading Comprehension1. Multiple Choice: Choose the best answer to each question based on the information you get from the text.1) B 2) B 3) C 4) D 5) B 6) B 7) D 8) A2. Essay Questions1) Firstly, managing litigation risks entails making a dispassionate assessment of reality. It is critical for the client to establish a constructive relationship with counsel and perceive counsel as an objective and dispassionate advocate for reason and prudence. Secondly, it is important to make a risk assessment at the outset of a transaction. Counsel can easily identify and provide for litigation risks if they prevail upon the client to take the long view of its business associations. Counsel must assess the client’s transaction partners and their business relationships and abide by the golden rule of contemporary commercial world “business is business”. Thirdly, counsel should pay close attention to the manner in which risks are allocated in the contract it is considering. Counsel can make a cost assessment based on experience with past litigation. Still another method is to outsource litigation services to local counsel under a fee arrangement that allows the client to budget for litigation costs on a long-term basis. Under some circumstances, the best way of lowering litigation risk is to be prepared to be engaged in a litigation that could have substantial deterrence value.2) The litigation perspective is more cynical than the corporate attorney’s p erspective defined by a much narrower time frame. Corporate attorneys are often left to take a snapshot of the business relationship at a point in time. The litigator, on the other hand, is compelled to view the business relationship like a motion picture: at the beginning, the litigation parties have high expectations; in the middle, the parties are disillusioned and subjected to a sense of injustice; in the end, personal and professional relationships are ruined by mistrust.3) In certain litigation areas, such as personal injury, products liability and class actions, contingency fee arrangements apparently drive the litigation. But in commercial litigation, where contract damages have upper limits and there is no component of pain and suffering, contingency fee arrangements do not drive attorneys to undertake litigation services. After all, time is money to lawyers on contingency who must weigh the prospects of a case against the value of the time needed to achieve it. One exception is that if the purpose of the litigation is to harass and the quality of legal work is not a concern, a young and ambitious lawyer would be willing to work on contingency. In conclusion, it is hard to say that contingency fee arrangements promote a higher percentage of frivolous litigation in the U.S., but it is very likely that a party with logical and rational evidential support will resort to litigation for the settlement of dispute.4) Firstly, counsel can make a cost assessment based on experience with past litigation. The cost of past litigation may provide a benchmark for the costs of any similar future litigation. Secondly, outsourcing litigation services to local counsel under a fee arrangement allows the client to budget for litigation costs on a long-term basis. Thirdly, counsel can determine a priori the circumstances under which the client is prepared to engage in a litigation for the purpose of discouraging other litigations.II. Word DerivationComplete the following sentences with the words given in the brackets. Change the form when necessary.1. burdensome2. litigious3. disillusioned4. invulnerability5. dispassionate6. adornment7. de-emphasis8. ambiguity9. simplistic 10. irrationalityIII. Paraphrasing1. Rewriting: Rewrite the underlined part of each sentence in your own words. 1) To limit litigation risk it is therefore critical for the client to perceive counsel as being not merely a tool to get things done, but as an impersonal and impartial supporter for sound sense and good discretion.2) To the extent that the counsel can persuade the client to take the long view of its business associations, there is a greater prospect that risks can be easily ascertained and prepared for.3) For the most part, however, I would say that most contingency-fee-based lawyers are more penetrating than is generally perceived to be and are more likely to work fora client only when there is a fairly good chance of victory.4) What the corporate client often fails to appreciate is the lesson that even if a party probably has a feeble or untrue case, it is possible for it to begin a legal action.5) The purpose of this kind of litigation is not just about winning based on the facts presented in evidence but about creating heavy burden of high costs which compels a favorable settlement.2. Sentence Transformation: Complete the following sentences based on the structure given.1) The lawyer, therefore, should take a significant first step toward evaluating tangible risks through an evaluation of the personality of the client.2) Assuming the existence of a near perfect flow of material information between client and counsel deriving from a constructive relationship between them, the next source of risk is the litigation environment in which the transaction is taking place.3) One important real or imagined source of unpredictability is the degree of a business’s vulnerability to litigation and therefore its exposure to an unexpected level of litigation-related costs.4) Time is, after all, money even to lawyers on contingency because they must weigh whether the prospect of a substantial recovery and settlement is worthwhile considering the value of the time needed to achieve it.5) The reason why such litigation is often uneconomical is that the litigant’s expenses are absolutely far more than compensatory damages it could ever realistically expect to recover, nevertheless, as a deterrent such actions have a greater value than what can make up for their short-term costs.IV. Translation1. Sentence Translation1)在最糟的情况下,律师被认为是一个惹人讨厌的人,律师和希腊神话中能够预言凶事的卡珊德拉一样能浇灭人们谈生意的一腔热情。
