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.。

Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city.Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I e to go the’re da gliakin.。

Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people live, travel, and do business.

However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.—Unit 3 Job InterviewText OrganizationParagraphs Main IdeasParas1- 6 : An ill-prepared college graduate failed his interview.Paras 7-27: Four pieces of advice on being a successful interviewee.。

To do so, however, we had to cross marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. Lucky enough, thanks to the severely cold weather which made the marshland freeze over, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.Unit 2 Smart CarsText A:VocabularyI.1. 1) expansion 2) automated 3) vapor 4) take control of 5) hazards 6) satellite 7) vibrated 8) magnetic9) bunched 10) in the air11) got/was stuck in 12) approximately2.1) send out 2) stand up for3) pass for 4) were closing in on5) starting up 6) went through7) fill out 8) fall into3. 1) …incorporates all the latest safety features.2) …two trees ten feet apart.3) …awarding lucrative contracts to his construction firm.4) …the prototype of a new model before they set up a factory to make the cars.5) …are correlated in all racial groups.4. 1) the application, remote, has turned into a reality, are poised to2) that vibrate, can detect, frequency23) lanes, are mounted in, alert a, hazardII.kilogram medical carememorandum electronic mailgymnasium communications satelliteliberation news broadcastdoctor sky hijackveterinarian European dollarpreparatory breakfast and lunchautomobile television broadcastinfluenza Oxford and CambridgeIII.1. swimming pool2. drawing board3. enriched Middle English4. disturbing change5. fully developed prototype6.

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 bephysically emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die inthe process.11。
