They not only have to endure the pain of having their wealth wiped away overnight, but they are also frequently overwhelmed with feelings of depression and hopelessness.A nationwide survey found that over 2 million adults identified a spouse's gambling as a significant factor in a prior divorce. The number of divorces in a county in Mississippi has nearly tripled since the advent of casinos. The county has also witnessed increases in domestic violence since then.A considerable body of evidence showed that the expansion of legally sanctioned gambling destroys individuals, ruins families, increases crime, and ultimately costs society far more than the revenues government collects.。

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.。

You know what I'm like, always putting things off till tomorrow. And writing was never my strong point. But looking out the window just now at the kids playing outside reminded me of when we were their age. All sorts of memories, like the time Tim Shea broke the window, the Halloween that we tied Old Mr. Parker's gate, and when Mrs. Culver used to keep us after school, came flooding back. What a great time we spent hanging out together. Come to think of it, time was just about all we did have to spend in those days.But time flies. I began the letter with "Old Friend" because that's what we've become over the years—old friends. And there aren't many of us left. Which makes those who are all the more precious. You in particular. Your friendship over the years has meant an awful lot to me, more than I can say because I'm not good at saying things like that.Anyway, we've been out of touch for far too long. So I thought you'd like to know that I was thinking of you. We really must try to get together soon. Why not come to visit? You know you're always welcome.Your Old Friend,Tom PS If you see Tim Shea remind him he never did replace that ball of mine he broke the window with!(245 words)。

We already know the scary effects of deforestation on global warming, but do we stop to think about the thousands of animal and insect species that are dying off because of global warming?2) In August 2005, some scientists from esteemed scientific organizations predicted that a temperature increase of 2 °C above the pre-industrial level could trigger the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, which would have overwhelming consequences for sea levels and biodiversity.

TranslationMost scientists no longer doubt that the world is warming up and that humanity has altered climate. They agree that the long-term effects of global warming will be disastrous for the planet and its inhabitants. What is more, climate change won’t be a smooth transition to a warmer world. Some regions will be greatly affected by abrupt climate changes. Enormous areas of densely populated land like coastal Florida would become uninhabitable. Hundreds of millions of residents would have to migrate to safer regions.

Every employee has a strong sense of obligation to the company and boundless enthusiasm for the work."2) Most chapters of this book are dedicated to the effects of games on children. According to the author, in performing and observing actions, like the collision of two objects, babies can have first-hand experience of the relations implicit in the phenomena. And team sports can help to shape children's personality in a positive way, because they can learn how to cooperate with each other in the competition.3) Martin Luther King and Rosa Parker had a lot in common. They were black people as well as civil rights heroes. They led black people to combat discrimination and inequality and to try to gain control over their own destinies.

TranslationRobert Lee’s father’s life had been plagued by poor financial investments. He was jailed twice for unpaid debts and in the end was forced to flee the country. Lee’s mother was the dominant force in shaping Lee’s personality. Against the poignant failure of her husband, she was determined that the tragedy should not be repeated in the life of her children. Self-control, a sense of obligation and an indomitable spirit were the virtues she taught Lee. In 1825, with an aspiration to win back the family honor, Lee began studying at West Point Military Academy. This began a new chapter of his life. Over the four years, he consistently finished near the top of every course.UNIT7VocabularyI. 1. 1) anonymous 2) piling up3) advent 4) sober up5) articulate 6) dwindle7) not least of all 8) vague9) busted 10) rotting2. 1) Its theme was that philosophy has very close links with mathematicsand artificial intelligence.2) He is illiterate; worse still, he has a criminal record and lives in aworld of lies and deceit.3) They carried out first aid to save the patient from bleeding to death.4) They suggested that I go for broke, and be undeterred in pursuit ofmy dream.5) He thinks it highly unlikely that such good luck will come his wayagain.3. 1) The advent of spring —symbol of renewal — has been a constant theme inEdward's writings.2) Why those nasty things were being said of her was just beyond hercomprehension, and as for myself I have never heard anything so offensive in all my life.3) Malcolm Padina, managing director of Informix Software Inc, has calledfor a new initiative to purge the market of software pirates / software pirates from the market.4) New evidence implicated Melancia in a financial scandal in February 2008.5) Pains were tearing at my chest as I was running a two-mile race.

He was, at one point, advised by two doctors that he just needed to get his gambling "under control"—which is like telling a drug addict to take drugs more moderately.3) The company was facing great financial problems due to the devastating effects of nationwide economic depression.

The number of divorces in a county in Mississippi has nearly tripled since the advent of casinos.

He even speculated whether it would be better for him to rejoin his wife in paradise. Though each of us expressed our deep sympathy, no one thought it。

It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result.

Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective. It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institution of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.Unit7 Learning about EnglishVocabularyI1)Strictly speaking2)drifted3)resembles4)invaded 5)is conquered6)fascinating7)snack8)put; into practice9)source10)climate 11)surrendered12)were; aroused1)an absolute necessity rather than a luxury.2)is a valuable addition to the football team.3)will get out of control, if the firemen do not arrive within ten minutes.4)Alternative but to go via Vancouver to get to Seattle.5)Declared all beef imports will be banned for the next six months as an emergencymeasure to stop the spread of mad disease.; have invented; to a very real extent; mysteriesestablish; to be modified/modifyingtowards; strike out; enrichII.Synonymsa)wishb)wish c)wantd)want/wish skin5.a)raise/rearb)raise c)rear/raised)raiseroyal kingly age(1)Indeed(2)though(3)Frankly(4)Moreover(5)To my knowledge (6)however(7)nevertheless(8)Yet(9)instead(10)in other wordsComprehensive ExercisesI.clozea)fascinating b)tolerance c)inventedd)additione)banf)corruptg)out of control h)influencedi)elitej)came up withk)establishingl)Massivem)sourcesn)enrich(1)early(2)similar(3)source(4)observation (5)examine(6)features(7)declared(8)stronger(9)accident(10)sprungII.Translationa)Many small businesses have sprung up in the city since the new policy went intoeffect.b)On hearing the news, she smiled briefly, and then returned to her habitual frown.c)He paused for effect, then said: “We can reach/enter these markets through newchannels.”d)The addition of a concert hall to the school will help it nourish young musicaltalents.e)We have no way to protect our personal liberties until we have established asovereign state. / We can’t protect our personal liberties unless we, first of all,establish a sovereign state.Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit8 Protecting Our EnvironmentVocabularyI1)barking2)evil3)brooding;hatched4)migrant5)tragedies6)counterpart7)arecomplaining/co-mplain 8)grim 9)flocks; fed on10)vegetation11)patches12)Scores oflined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreign guests.boss silenced all lively conversation in the office.a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowed unnoticed.deserted.stricken by it.1)patches; came into full bloom; were puzzled; mysterious2)throbbed with; sickened; migrant; a chorus3)had crept into; flickered; the starkFormationCompound words age-oldair force daughter-in-law first-rate greenhouse half brother ice-creamlifelikelight yearsalespersonself-centeredthreefoldoverusestone-stillworldwide Chinese meaning 古老的空军儿媳妇一流的温室同母异父兄弟；同父异母兄弟冰淇淋逼真的光年售货员；推销员以自己为中心的，自私的三倍过度使用石头似的一动不动全世界范围的；在世界范围内1)poverty-stricken people2)heart-breaking news3)newly-built database 4)well-fed kids5)successful spacewalk6)peace-loving people7)need-based scholarships8)color-blind people III.Confusable WordsComprehensive Exercisesa)spellb)strickenc)misfortunesd)surroundingse)blossom/bloomf)migrant g)desertedh)silencei)sickenedj)hatchk)puzzledl)in harmony with1)This is a prosperous town, but there is still poverty in the midst of wealth andabundance.2)The Brown family was stricken with one misfortune after another, but theirchildren never complained.3)The museum is designed in such a way that it stands in perfect harmony with itssurroundings.4)It was a miracle that these flowers did not wither at all in the blazing sun.5)Flocks of sheep feed on the patches of vegetation that rise above the wintersnow.This village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings. All the year round, the trees were green and the flowers in bloom. Clear streams flowed out of the hills through a checkerboard of rice fields. Birds sang all day, and deer came and went in a leisurely manner. However, with the coming of DDT and other pesticides, an evil spell seemed to have settled over the village. Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.。

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit 8Protecting Our Environment VocabularyI1.1)barking5)tragedies8)grim2)evil6)counterpart9)flocks; fed on3)brooding;7)are10)vegetationhatched complaining/co-11)patches4)migrant mplain12)Scores of2.1)was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreignguests.2)the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office.3)wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowedunnoticed.4)looked deserted.5)were stricken by it.3.1)patches; came into full bloom; were puzzled; mysterious2)throbbed with; sickened; migrant; a chorus3)had crept into; flickered; the starkII.Word Formation1.Compound words Chinese meaningage-old古老的air force空军daughter-in-law儿老婆first-rate一流的greenhouse温室half brother同母异父兄弟；同父异母兄弟ice-cream冰淇淋lifelike传神的light year光年salesperson售货员；销售员self-centered以自己为中心的，自私的threefold三倍overuse过分使用stone-still石头似的一动不动worldwide全球范围的；在世界范围内2.1)poverty-stricken people5)successful spacewalk2)heart-breaking news6)peace-loving people3)newly-built database7)need-based scholarships4)well-fed kids8)color-blind peopleIII.
