Unit 1 Changes in the Way We Live第二次课补充材料ⅠCultural Notes1.Fahrenheit scale: a scale of temperature, first established by the German physicist GabrielFahrenheit in 1715. The unit of temperature is the de gree Fahrenheit (°F), and 0°F was originally the coldest temperature Fahrenheit could achieve using a freezing mixture of salt and ice. On his scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F (under set atmospheric conditions). No longer used in scientific work, Fahrenheit temperatures still feature in everyday language; hot days "in the eighties", for example. To convert a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius (centigrade), subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9.2.Celsius scale: a scale of hotness, or temperature, first established by the Swedish scientistAnders Celsius (1701-1744) in 1742. On this scale, the unit of temperature is the degree Celsius (°C); water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100° C (under agreed standard atmospheric conditions), although when Celsius o riginally devised the scale he made 100°the boiling-point and 0° the freezing-point. The Celsius scale was formerly commonly known as the centigrade scale because of the 100 divisions between the freezing- and boiling-points of water. To convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit multiply by 9/5 and add 32.3.Ivy League: eight long-established colleges and universities in the United States withprestigious academic and social reputations. Members of the Ivy League are Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island; Columbia University in New York City; Cornell University in Ithaca, New York; Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire; Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts; University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia; Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey; and Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. The members of the Ivy League compete in intercollegiate athletics.4.Sports Illustrated: a popular US sports magazine published each week by Time Inc. part ofTime Warner. It first appeared in 1954, and is read mainly by men. The magazine also publishes the Sports Illustrated Sports Almanac every year.5.Individual Retirement Account (IRA): a US government plan that allows people to put part oftheir income into special bank accounts. No tax has to be paid on this money until they retire.6.Buying Insurance: People face many choices when buying insurance policies. They commonlychoose an insurance provider based on several criteria. Some of the most important of these include: 1) the financial stability of the insurance company, 2) the price of policies, and3) details of coverage and service.Only a financially sound company can fulfill its promise to pay in all circumstances.Companies with proven records of stability can provide insurance security. Choice of a provider based solely on price, on the other hand, may result in poor service and coverage, even if the provider advertises comprehensive coverage and high quality service.Policy prices vary significantly among companies, but competition usually forces most companies’ prices into a narrow range. The greater cost of some policies may pay off in the long run through better protection. Thus, a detailed examination of coverage in policies provided by different, well-regarded companies can help consumers make the best choice based on the risks they face, their needs, and their finances.People seeking to buy insurance often use the services of an insurance agent or broker to assist in their purchase. Most insurance falls into four main categories, according to what it covers: 1) property and casualty, 2) life, 3) health and disability, and 4) old-age and unemployment. Insurers commonly refer to insurance purchased by individuals as personal lines coverage and to insurance purchased by businesses as commercial coverage.II. Words & Expressions in Text1.haul: vt.1. transport, as with a truck, cart, etc. 用卡车等搬运- The farmers haul vegetables to the market on a truck every morning.- 救援队把药品和食物运到被淹的村庄。
