Text OrganizationPara. 1 serves as an introduction to why friendships end.Para. 6 serves as a conclusion: Anyway, most friendships do enrich our lives no matter whether they are long or short.2. Comprehension CheckFocusing on the main ideasWhy do friendships end The author offers some insights into the question. Friendships end because the situations friends are in change.These changes can’t help but affect a friendship. Next, the friends themselves may change. The breakups can be mutual or one-sided. It hurts less when both friends change. What tends to hurt most is when just one friend changes. A third reason is that as much as two people might want a friendship to survive, one or both of them might unintentionally neglect it. Lastly, conflicts can cause the end of a friendship, since most friendships have breaking points under pressure.Digging into detail1. Why do some friendships end, no matter how much you want them tolast2. When you decide to relocate for a new school or job, this ca n’thelp but affect a friendship. Likewise, if a friend of yours is in an accident, develops an illness, or loses someone close, these situations can’t help but affect a friendship. These events can end friendships if the necessary adjustments are not made. 3. For example, when one or both friends start to date or get married,their friendship may come to an end. It hurts less when both friendswant to do so. It tends to hurt most when just one friend changes.4. Friendship needs regular care. Taking a friendship for granted cancause it to break.5.

全新版⼤学英语(第⼆版)第三册课后翻译和作⽂原⽂段落Unit 1I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don't entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.? The other requirement is energy -- a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.? Unit 2Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on a long list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom.? In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U. S. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And it's about time. For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intent on telling their stories.Unit 3It has been replaced by dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires hooked up to a police station or private guard firm. any suburban families have sliding glass doors on their patios, with steel bars elegantly built in so no one can pry the doors open.? It is not uncommon, in the most pleasant of homes, to see pasted on the windows small notices announcing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company.? The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child's bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it.??Unit 4He had impressive powers of concentration.Einstein's sister, Maja, recalled "...even when there wasa lot of noise, he could lie down on the sofa, pick up apen and paper, precariously balance an inkwell on thebackrest and engross himself in a problem so much thatthe background noise stimulated rather than disturbedhim."Einstein was clearly intelligent, but not outlandishlymore so than his peers. "I have no special talents," heclaimed, "I am only passionately curious." And again:"The contrast between the popular assessment of mypowers ... and the reality is simply grotesque." Einsteincredited his discoveries to imagination and peskyquestioning more so than orthodox intelligence.Unit 5The Reverend Nelson wrote that his decades as a"simple, old-fashioned principal" had ended withschools undergoing such swift changes that he had retired in self-doubt. "I heard more of what I had done wrong than what I did right," he said, adding that my letter had brought him welcome reassurance that his career had been appreciated.? A glance at Grandma's familiar handwriting brought back in a flash memories of standing alongside her white rocking chair, watching her "settin' down" some letter to relatives. Character by character, Grandma would slowly accomplish one word, then the next, so that a finished page would consume hours. I wept over the page representing my Grandma's recent hours invested in expressing her loving gratefulness to me -- whom she used to diaper!?Unit 6Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor beneath them. He was past sixty and had a long, white beard curling down over his chest. Despite looking the part, Behrman was a failure in art. For forty years he had been always about to paint a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it. He earned a little by serving as a model to those young artists who could not pay the price of a professional. He drank gin to excess, and still talked of his coming masterpiece. For the rest he was a fierce little old man, who mocked terribly at softness in any one, and who regarded himself as guard dag to the two young artists in the studio above.? Sue found Behrman smelling strongly of gin in his dimly lighted studio below. In one corner was a blank canvas on an easel that had been waiting there for twenty-five years to receive the first line of the masterpiece. She told him of Johnsy’s fancy, and how she feared she would, indeed, light and fragile as a leaf herself, when her slight hold upon the world grew weaker.Old Behrman, with his red eyes, plainly streaming, shouted his contempt for such foolish imaginings.Unit 7His mind was trapped in a body that didn't work. Speaking was difficult and took time. People were impatient and didn't listen. He felt different -- was different -- from the kids who rushed about in the halls and planned dances he would never attend.? What could his future be? Porter wanted to do something and his mother was certain that he could rise above his limitations. With her encouragement, he applied for a job with the Fuller Brush Co. only to be turned down. He couldn't carry a product briefcase or walk a route, they said.? Porter knew he wanted to be a salesman. He began reading help wanted ads in the newspaper. When he saw one for Watkins, a company that sold household products door-to-door, his mother set up a meeting with a representative. The man said no, but Porter wouldn't listen. He just wanted a chance. The man gave in and offered Porter a section of the city that no salesman wanted.?句⼦翻译1.We have a problem with the computer system, but I think it is fairly minor.我们的计算机系统出了⽑病,但我觉得问题⽐较⼩。
Unit 3 Book 1Detailed ReadingI. Difficult Sentences1.Nor can one prevent further advances in the future. (Para. 2)Why is this sentence reversed?(The word “nor” here appears at the beginning of the sentence to give force to the negation.- Nor will I deny that.)2.The only way to prevent further developments would be a global state that suppressed anything new, and human initiative and inventiveness are such that even this wouldn’t succeed. (Para. 2) 1) What is the grammatical function of the first “that”?(Here “that” brings about an attributive clause.)2) What does the structure “such that” here mean?(The structure is used to give an explanation for something.- His manner was such that he would offend everyone he met. )3) What can we infer from this sentence?(No way can suppress anything new, as human initiative and inventiveness do exist.)3.All it would do is slow down the rate of change. (Para. 2)Why is there no “to” between “is” and “slow”?(When “do” appears in the subject of a sentence, the sign“to” of an infinitive which is used as the predicative can be omitted.- The first thing he did was (to) look for a guide.- All we could do now is (to) remain cool-headed.)4.At the moment, the public is in two minds about science. (Para. 3)1) What does “in two minds about” mean?(Unable to decide whether or not you want sth. or want to do sth.- I think she’s in two minds about whether to accept his present or not.)2) What can we learn from the sentence?(The public finds itself holding two contradictory viewpoints about science. On the one hand, it expects the improvement in the standard of living that has been brought by science; on the other hand, it also distrusts science because it does not understand it.)5.It is also an important element behind support for the Green parties. (Para. 3)1) What does “it” refer to?(The public’s distrust of science)2) What part of speech is “support” here?(It is a noun.)6.But in schools science is often presented in a dry and uninteresting manner. (Para. 4) Paraphrase the sentence.(But in schools science is often taught in a dull and boring way.)7.Maybe I would have sold twice as many copies without it. (Para. 4)Translate the sentence into Chinese.(如果不用这个公式的话,也许我能多卖出一倍的书。

许多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场,梦想着靠土地为生。
很少有人真去把梦想变为现实。
或许这也没有什么不好,因为,正如吉姆•多尔蒂当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的那样,农耕生活远非轻松自在。
但他写道,自己并不后悔,对自己做出的改变生活方式的决定仍热情不减。
多尔蒂先生创建自己的理想生活售姆•多尔蒂1 / 31有两件事是我一直想做的——写作与务农。
如今我同时做着这两件事。
作为作家,我和E - B•怀特不属同一等级,作为农场主,我和乡邻也不是同一类人,不过我应付得还行。
在城市以及郊区历经多年的怅惘失望之后,我和妻子桑迪终于在这里的乡村寻觅到心灵的满足。
这是一种自力更生的生活。
我们食用的果蔬几乎都是自己种的。
自家饲养的鸡提供鸡蛋,每星期还能剩余几十个出售。
自家养殖的蜜蜂提供蜂蜜,我们还自己动手砍柴,足可供过冬取暖之用。
这也是一种令人满足的生活。
夏日里我们在河上荡舟,在林子里野餐,骑着自行车长时间漫游。
冬日里我们滑雪溜冰。
我们为落日的余辉而激动。
我们爱闻大地回暖的气息,爱听牛群哞叫。
我们守着看鹰儿飞过上空,看玉米田间鹿群嬉跃。
但如此美妙的生活有时会变得相当艰苦。
就在三个月前,气温降到华氏零下30 度,我们辛苦劳作了整整两天,用一个雪橇沿着河边拖运木柴。
再过三个月,气温会升到95 度,我们就要给玉米松土,在草莓地除草,还要宰杀家禽。
