T o do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle.

At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit 5VocabularyI1) In a way 2) in accordance 3) vacancy 4) in good condition 5) transparent 6) rub 7) spicy 8) hitherto9) with (a) bad grace 10) instinct 11) pawned 12) current2.1) turned up 2) will stick to 3) brought back 4)go about5) driving at 6) put away 7) over 8) took aback3.1) has a very weak constitution --- she may not be able to survive the operation.2) was taken aback by the insurance company’s rejection of my compensation claim3) was something of a surprise when we ran into each other in a place like that.4) needs trimming/ to be trimmed ---it’s getting too long.5) are often seceptive4.1) Oddly enough /went broke /wrinkled / he had gone all to pieces2) definite / is capable of /her vanity3) too mild / sipping / strokeII.

For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death. Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.Unit 6Vocabulary 11) appliances 2) comparative 3) multiply4) distribution 5) prosperity 6) decorate 7) famine 8) large quantities of/ a large quantity of 9) streamline 10) fax 11) pointed the way to 12) bewilderedVocabulary 21) eat into 2) cling to3) stand out/ stood out 4) wears away5) set about 6) switch off7) will be turned loose 8) poured inVocabulary 31)is forecast to be below average next year, which at the moment is 4percent.2)to enter the building and find the baby girl proved futile as rescuers weredriven out by the heat and flames.3)was urged to divert some of its attention from expanding production andget more involved with issues of market demand.4)can really eat heavily into your profits when you are selling suits at £900and dresses at £2,000.5)has toiled endlessly over the exercise machine for the last twenty years inorder to keep her body in shape.Vocabulary 41)reaction to; discontent; provoked2)Convention; evading tax; the confines of3) a burden; are always on the go/ seem forever on the go; to copeII.

However, experts suspect, there is also the risk that people will learn to fool the machine the same way they try to fool polygraph readings by controlling their breath or taking drugs to relax themselves.3)With a high percentage of marriages ending in divorce, often due tofinancial difficulties, you would say that money is a big factor in making a good marriage. But, believe it or not, it isn’t money that ensures you a happy marriage; it is your philosophy of life that does.4)Not all the risks on the Internet are sexual, you know.

Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.。
Unit-1 College life: Challenges and opportunities一、Reading课文&翻译Some thoughts from a professor1 As both a college professor and parent of a college student, this time of year always seems to raise a variety of thoughts as freshly minted high school graduates head off to their new adventures. In a couple of weeks, green first-year students will be wandering around campuses everywhere, looking young and confused.作为一名大学教授和一名大学生的家长,每年的这个时候,当刚毕业的高中毕业生开始他们的新冒险时,各种各样的想法似乎总是会出现。
再过几个星期,绿色的新生们就会在校园里到处游荡,看起来年轻而迷茫。
2 "Where do I find Burdine Hall?" asks the first year looking impossibly young.“我在哪里可以找到伯丁会堂?”一个看上去年轻得不可思议的新生问道。
3 "It's that building right behind you," I answer with a smile, knowing that I will have this conversation several times over the next few days.“就是你身后的那座大楼,”我微笑着回答,因为我知道在接下来的几天里我会有好几次这样的对话。

Zhuangzi posed a well-known question in the fourth century B。
C. — was he Zhuangzi who had dreamt of being a butterfly or was he a butterfly dreaming he was Zhuangzi?Zhuangzi came to the realization that he had perceived ”the transformation of things”, indicating that one should go along with this transformation rather than trying in vain to search for what is real。
Confucius' call for "rectification of names" is more a method for securing sociopolitical order than for capturing the essence of things. Similarly,the views of Mencius and Xunzi about human nature are more recommendations of how one should view oneself in order to become a better person than assertions about whether humans are by nature good or bad。

But in college, I have to make my own decisions and discipline myself.2. Yes. I can safely say that dorm life is by far the most rewarding part of my college life outside the classroom. Living under the same roof with people from all over the country provides me with new perspectives to see the world. No. I'm not really excited about living on campus, because my parents and old friends live far away from me.

I was alone in my dorm room with a stranger of my age. At first I didn't think we would hit it off: We didn't seem to have similar hobbies or interests. But then he asked if I wanted to play a video game with him. It turned out we were both big fans of the game. So there we sat, playing that game for an hour until other roommates moved in! My move-in day was at first amess! It was raining, and I forgot to bring an umbrella with me! I regretted that I had refused my parents' offer to help me settle down because I wanted to find out what independence was like. I had no idea how to get registered and where my dorm was. Fortunately, some volunteers spotted me. They said my confusing look told them I was new here. The most unforgettable scene was that a lovely girl shared with me her umbrella and walked me to my dorm.Words and expressions1) pursue2) meaningful3) commutes4) handy5) thrive6) lost touch7) adapt to8) cope with9) associated with10) take11) seriouslyCollocations1) enjoys the hobby2) established3) relationship4) repair the relationship5) gives","provides","gave","provided6) perspective7) gain8) perspective9) maintain the relationshipVocabulary learning strategies1) competitive2) active3) motive4) perspective5) objective/objectives6) effectiveTranslation1. 当我们试图在曾经的自己和未来的自己之间建立联系的时候,我们就必须接受这样一个事实,那就是在我们的生活中,唯一不变的只有我们自己。

实用型友情的基础是双方能够相互利用。
愉悦型友情视双方所能获得的快乐多少而定。
实用型友情和愉悦型友情都允许一一个人有多位朋友,而美德型友情与这两种关系不同,只能存在于一-对一-的关系里。
只有两个人德行一致(或非常相似),且都是品格高尚的人,才能发展这种美德型友情。

在这之前,我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。
我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。
我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作,老师读着受累,我写着痛苦。
弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时,我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。
弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。
据说他拘谨刻板,完全落后于时代。
我看他有六七十岁了,古板之极。
他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜,微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐,梳得纹丝不乱。
他身穿古板的套装,领带端端正正地顶着白衬衣的领扣。
他长着古板的尖下巴,古板的直鼻梁,说起话来一本正经,字斟句酌,彬彬有礼,活脱脱一个滑稽的老古董。
我作好准备,打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上一年,不少日子过去了,还真不出所料。
后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。
弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸,出了不少题目供我们选择。
像"暑假二三事"那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有,但绝大多数一样乏味。
我把作文题带回家,一直没写,直到要交作业的前一天晚上。
我躺在沙发上,最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课,便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗一看。
我的目光落在"吃意大利细面条的艺术"这个题目上。
这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。
贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来,当时,我们大家一起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。
那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。
多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过,在座的大人也是经验不足,没有一个吃起来得心应手的。
艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中,我回想起来,当晚我们笑作一团,争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。

The predominant orientation of traditional Chinese philosophy is the concern about how to live one's life, rather than finding out the truth about reality. Zhuangzi posed a well-known question in the fourth century B.C. — was he Zhuangzi who had dreamt of being a butterfly or was he a butterfly dreaming he was Zhuangzi? Zhuangzi came to the realization that he had perceived "the transformation of things", indicating that one should go along with this transformation rather than trying in vain to search for what is real. Confucius' call for "rectification of names" is more a method for securing sociopolitical order than for capturing the essence of things. Similarly, the views of Mencius and Xunzi about human nature are more recommendations of how one should view oneself in order to become a better person than assertions about whether humans are by nature good or bad.。
