Unit 3 Computers Language points课时作业一、阅读理解Dad and I loved baseball and hated sleep. One midsummer dawn when I was nine，we drove to the local park with our baseballs，gloves，and Yankees caps.“If you thought night baseball was a thrill，just wait，” Dad told me. “Morning air carries the ball like you’ve never seen. ”He was right. Our fastballs charged faster and landed more lightly. The echoes of our catches popped as the sun rose over the dew-sprinkled fields.The park was all ours for about two hours. Then a young mother pushed her stroller toward us. When she neared，Dad politely leaned over the stroller，waved，and gave the baby his best smile.The mother stared at him for a second，and then rushed away.Dad covered his mouth with his hand and walked to the car. “Let’s go，bud，” he said. “I’m not feeling well. ”A month earlier，Bell’s palsy (贝尔氏神经麻痹) had struck Dad，paralyzing the right side of his face. It left him slurring words and with a droopy eyelid. He could hardly drink from a cup without spilling onto his shirt. And his smile，which once eased the pain of playground cuts and burst forth at the mention of Mick Jagger，Woody Allen，or his very own Yankees，was gone.As I slumped in the car，I began suspecting that our sunrise park visit wasn’t about watching daylight lift around us. This was his effort to avoid stares.It was a solemn drive home.After that day，Dad spent more time indoors. He left the shopping，driving，and Little League games to Mom. A freelance editor，he turned our dining room into his office and buried himself in manuscripts. He no longer wanted to play catch.At physical therapy，Dad obeyed the doctor: “Now smile as wide as you can. Now lift your right cheek with your hand. Now try to whistle. ”Only the sound of blowing air came out. My earliest memories were of Dad whistling to Frank Sinatra or Bobby McFerrin. He always whistled. He had taught me to whistletoo.Of the roughly 40，000 Americans suffering from Bell’s p alsy every year，most recover in several weeks. Other cases take a few months to heal. But after nine weeks of therapy，the doctor confessed she couldn’t help Dad.“I’ve never seen anything like this，” she told him after his final session. Then she handed him the bill.Dad coped through humor. He occasionally grabbed erasable markers and drew an even-sided wide smile across his face. Other times，he practiced his Elvis impersonation，joking that his curled lips allowed him to perfect his performance of “Hound Dog”.By the time I entered fourth grade that September，Dad could blink his right eye and speak clearly again. But his smile still hadn’t returned. So I made a secret vow: I would abstain__from smiles of any kind.Nothing about fourth grade made this easy. Classmates were both old enough to laugh about pop culture and young enough to appreciate fart jokes. Kids called me Frowny the Dwarf. (I was three feet ten. ) Teachers accompanied me into hallways，asking what was wrong. Breaking__the__promise__I__had__made__myself__was__tempting，but I couldn’t let Dad not smile alone.When I asked my PE coach，“What’s so great about smiling？” he made me do push-ups while the rest of the class played Wiffle ball. Then he called Dad.I never learned what they discussed. But when I got off the school bus that afternoon，I saw Dad waiting for me，holding our gloves and ball. For the first time in months，we got in the family car and went to the park for a catch.“It’s been too long，” he said.Roughly a half-dozen fathers and sons lined the field with gloved arms in the air. Dad couldn’t smile，but he beamed，and so did I. Sundown came quickly. The field’s white lights glowed，and everyone else left. But Dad and I threw everything from curve balls to folly floaters into the night. We had catching up to do.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。

ABoys and girls, I think most of you like travelling. But usually, people feel excited before a tour, but during it, they may feel they are not well prepared for it. After it they feel it is not worth the tour. Then how can you make your tour more interesting and meaningful? Here is some advice.Firstly—Look! Certainly we should look at the scenery very carefully. Also, before we leave our house, we should find some books about the place of interest. We should first know something about the place, such as its geography, its history and its famous people, etc. When we are ready for the tour, we can really understand the place during our tour even if we don’t have much time.Secondly—Take photos! When we visit a place of interest, most of us take a camera. If you want to take some photos, remember to choose the most special sights. Don’t choose the sight that we can see in other places. For example, Beidaihe, Qingdao and Zhuhai are coastal (沿海) cities. Don’t only take photos of the sea. You should take something else, too.Thirdly—Taste! Some people like to buy some food that they like most during their tours. In my opinion, don’t buy the food that you like most because you can buy it in your own city or town. You had better taste something special in the place of interest. Snacks in some places are very delicious. And from a place’s snacks, you can find its food culture. So why not taste them? Maybe you have just one chance to taste it in your life.Fourthly—Write! When you visit a place, you should take a pen and a notebook, so you can write something down. It’s possible that you can write a good article. Later, when you read it, you will feel that you can find the pleasure during the tour.Have a good time!1. Travellers feel they can’t enjoy their tours fully because .A. they feel too excited before the tourB. they are not well prepared for the tourC. they don’t like travelling in factD. there are better places to travel答案:B解析:细节理解题。

Unit 3 Computers reading课时作业一、阅读理解About 15 years ago，I taught A Problem from Hell，a book on genocide (大屠杀)，to a group of 18-and 19-year-olds in a mid-west university in the US. In my class there was a young man who had spent his boyhood in Bosnia as NATO bombed his hometown. My other students，amazed by his connection to the genocide in the textbook，asked him what it was like to grow up in a war-zone. “A pretty normal childhood as you had here，”he said. “We played cards inside a lot，and when there was no bombing we kicked a ball in the street. ”In the past few years，the world has seen a rapid increase in refugees (难民)，with the number hitting 60 million. Viet Thanh Nguyen’s story collection The Refugees reminds us that literature is news that stays news. Set in the Vietnamese communities in California as well as in Vietnam，the stories do not aim to surprise us with new twists or shock us with wonderful details，as war and refugee stories could easily choose to do. Rather，like the young man from Bosnia，Nguyen’s characters tell these stories because they are the only ones known to them.Included in the collection are two of the most touching pieces，both about siblings (兄弟或姊妹) separated by geography and history. In Black-Eyed Women，the narrator (讲述人)，a young Vietnamese woman，is visited by the ghost of her elder brother，who died young on the boat when the family took flight from the war. The tale of love and loss，violence and violation，may not be unfamiliar to the reader，but the determination of the brother’s ghost (he has taken decades to swim across the Pacific to reach America) and the sister’s abandoning herself to a half death make the story lasting.As an echo，the closing story，Fatherland，explores a more complex situation between two siblings. The narrator，a young Vietnamese woman，meets her half-sister，visiting from the US for the first time. Adding to the tension is the fact that her father has named the narrator and her siblings after his first set of children. Two sisters，one American and one Vietnamese，yet named the same by the father—it may soundstrange，but isn’t it the fate many refugees have to face: a life left behind，that could have been theirs; and a life in an adopted country.The theme of doubleness—choice and inevitability (不可避免性)，home and homelessness，starting afresh and being stuck—is present not only in the stories of Vietnamese refugees，but also of those who have become refugees from their own homes and loved ones. “Smiling at your relatives never got you very far，but smiling at strangers and acquaintances sometimes did. ” So a pilot，who fought in the Vietnam war and is now revisiting the country for the first time，thinks while waving at the locals from a tour bus. He’s distant from his daughter，just as a Mexican American in the collection is distant from his wife，or a young man from Hong Kong is distant from his father.The collection is full of refugees，whether from external or from a deeper，more internal conflict between even those who are closest to each other. With anger but not despair，with reconciliation (和解) but not unrealistic hope，and with genuine humour that is not used to insult anyone，Nguyen has breathed life into many unforgettable characters.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一本关于难民的故事集。
