Section A Spend or save –The student’s dilemma花钱还是存钱，学生进退维谷1 你是不是跟我一样对“我应该花钱还是存钱”这个问题感到困惑，且有被操纵的感觉？我觉得我们从生活的环境里所获得的信息似乎是有违常识、互相矛盾的。

政府告诉我们要花钱，否则我们将永远走不出衰退；与此同时，他们又告诉我们，除非我们节省更多的钱，否则我们的国家会处于严重危险之中。

银行提供较高的利率以增加储蓄。

然后，同样是这些银行又提供信用卡让我们可以花更多的钱。

2 这里还有一个大家熟悉的例子：如果我们不按时支付信用卡账单，我们会收到从信用卡公司发来的类似这样的令人讨厌的催缴账单的电子邮件：不还款是不可接受的。

请立即缴付，否则后果自负！之后，一旦还款，我们就会收到一封跟进的电子邮件，语气和蔼可亲，说我们是多么宝贵的客户，并鼓励我们继续花钱。

到底哪一个描述是正确的？有麻烦的失败消费者还是宝贵的客户？这两者之间可是天壤之别！3 自相矛盾的情况还有，我们每天都收到彼此相左的两种信息。

一种从“纵容”的角度，让我们“买东西，花钱，现在就得到它。

你需要这个！”另外一种，我们可称之为“正直”的信息，它力劝我们：“努力工作，把钱存起来。

控制你的欲望，不要买奢侈品，不要垂涎那些你并不真正需要的东西。

”这类信息来源甚多，有学校方面的，有家长方面的，甚至还来自提及传统价值观的政治人物。

艰苦创业、忠于家庭、能推迟欲望是美国价值观的核心，它使我们的国家变得强大。

4 但相反的信息，即那些纵容人们不断花钱的广告，无所不在。

虽然此类信息有时经过了乔装打扮，但仍随处可见，电视、电影、印刷媒介和路牌、商店，及公共汽车、火车和地铁上，比比皆是。

广告侵入了我们的日常生活。

我们时时被包围在花钱，花钱，花钱的信息中。

最近有人说：“唯一可以逃脱广告的时候是当在床上睡着时！”5 据计算，普通的美国人到18岁时，会看过60万则广告；到40岁时，看过的广告总数近百万。

Unit 5 The money gameText A Spend or save--The student’s dilemma花钱还是存钱，学生进退维谷1.Do you feel as confused and manipulated as I do with this question, “Should I spend or shouldI save?”引语外面是一个复合句，包含一个比较状语从句，引语是一个选择疑问句。

你是不是跟我一样对“我应该花钱还是存钱”这个问题感到困惑，且有被操纵的感觉？I think that the messages we get from our environment seem to defy common sense and contradict each other.在动词think后面跟了一个由that引导的宾语从句，从句中有一个省去了that/which的定语从句修饰主语the messages。

我觉得我们从生活的环境里所获得的信息似乎是有违常识、互相矛盾的。

The government tells us to spend or we’ll never get out of the recession.这是一个并列句，两个并列分句由并列连词or连接。

政府告诉我们要花钱，否则我们将永远走不出衰退。

At the same time, they tell us that unless we save more, our country is in grave danger.在tell us后面跟了一个由that引导的宾语从句，从句中又包含一个unless引导的条件状语从句。

与此同时，他们又告诉我们，除非我们节省更多的钱，否则我们的国家会处于严重危险之中。

Banks offer higher interest rates so we increase savings.这是一个并列句，两个并列分句由并列连词so连接。

Unit 1注重时间的美国人美国人认为没有人能停止不前。

如果你不求进取，你就会落伍。

这种态度造就了一个投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。

时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一，另一要素是劳力。

人们一直说：“只有时间才能支配我们。

”人们似乎把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待。

我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用作出解释；我们还要因付出时间而收取费用。

时间是一种宝贵的资源，许多人都深感人生的短暂。

时光一去不复返。

我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。

外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是：每个人都匆匆忙忙——常常处于压力之下。

城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方，在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务，或者为了赶快买完东西，用肘来推搡他人。

白天吃饭时人们也都匆匆忙忙，这部分地反映出这个国家的生活节奏。

人们认为工作时间是宝贵的。

在公共用餐场所，人们都等着别人尽快吃完，以便他们也能及时用餐，你还会发现司机开车很鲁莽，人们推搡着在你身边过去。

你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈以及与陌生人的随意闲聊。

不要觉得这是针对你个人的，这是因为人们都非常珍惜时间，而且也不喜欢他人“浪费”时间到不恰当的地步。

许多刚到美国的人会怀念诸如商务拜访等场合开始时的寒暄。

他们也会怀念那种一边喝茶或喝咖啡一边进行的礼节性交流，这也许是他们自己国家的一种习俗。

他们也许还会怀念在饭店或咖啡馆里谈生意时的那种轻松悠闲的交谈。

一般说来，美国人是不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的闲聊来评价他们的客人的，更不用说会在增进相互信任的过程中带他们出去吃饭，或带他们去打高尔夫球。

既然我们通常是通过工作而不是社交来评估和了解他人，我们就开门见山地谈正事。

因此，时间老是在我们心中滴滴答答地响着。

因此，我们千方百计地节约时间。

我们发明了一系列节省劳力的装置；我们通过发传真、打电话或发电子邮件与他人迅速地进行交流，而不是通过直接接触。

The wife, not waiting it known that the house would be empty, explained to the taxi driver, “He’s just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother.” A few minutes later, the husband got into the car, and said, “Sorry it took it so long. The stupid old thing was hiding under the bed, and I had to poke her with a stick to get her to come out!”4-1-3-5-2-6 D) She was ill-treated at home.Task 3: A Sudden Change in the Parrot’s AttitudeA young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of this bird’s mouth was rude. John tried every method to change the bird’s attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, and anything he could think of to set a good example. Nothing worked. Finally, John got fed up and he yelled at the parrot. And the bird yelled back. John shook the parrot, and the bird got angrier and ruder. Finally, in a moment of desperation, John put the bird in the refrigerator freezer. For a few minutes, John heard the bird scream and kick. Then suddenly there was silence. Not a sound for over a minute. Fearing that he’s hurt the bird, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out and said, “I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I am truly sorry, and I will do everything I can to correct my poor behavior.”John was greatly surprised at the bird’s change of attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had caused such a sudden change in his behavior, the bird continued, “May Ii ask why you put the chickens there and what they did wrong?”1.C2.D3.B4.C5.AIV. Speaking OutModel 1 The dog will be company for her.John: Se-Jin, come shopping with me. I’m buying a present for my mother.Se-Jin: What are you getting her?John: I’ve got just the perfect idea. A dog.Se-Jin: A dog? Would she like that?John: She’ll love it. My dad works long hours each day, and I think with me away at school, she is a bit lonely. And I’ll just get a small one, a Pekinese.Se-Jin: Good idea! The dog will be company for her.Now Your TurnA: Hi, come shopping with me. I want to buy a gift for my neighbor.B: What for?A: His wife died a couple of weeks ago, and he is feeling lonely. He’s been kind to us. I want to buy something to cheer him up.B: What do you want to get for him?A: I’m thinking of buying a bunch of flowers for him.B: But I’ve got a perfect idea. A dog.A: A dog? Why?B: He’ll be crazy about it. He’s so lonely; he needs company rather than beautiful flowers.A: Good thinking! The dog can keep him company.Model 2 Where to walk dogs?Bob: There’s some talk of a businessman building a dog park in Shanghai.Laura: Really, what on earth for?Bob: Apparently there is a law against having dogs on the streets.Laura: Does it mean that the dogs have to stay inside apartments at all times?Bob: It sounds pretty cruel, doesn’t it? Maybe the park is a good idea.Laura: Maybe they should just allow people to walk their dogs on the streets.Bob: But in many large cities where dogs can be walked, the streets are a mess. I heard Paris is the worst.Laura:Couldn’t people just clean up after their dogs?Bob:Would they?Now Your TurnA: Have you heard the city has passes a law against walking dogs in the streets?B: Sure, it’s published in the newspapers.A: It means that dogs have to be kept inside all the time.B: It’s rather cruel, isn’t it? We shouldn’t be so cruel to dumb animals.A: But dogs often leave a mess from their dogs.B: But owners can clean up the mess from their dogs.A: Would they?B: Perhaps the best solution is to build a dog park.

Any other tips on getting starded?V. Let’s TalkAn Intelligent DogA black dog walked into a butcher’s shop with a five-dollar bill in his mouth. He spent several minutes looking at the meat on display. He finally fixed his eyes on the lamb chops and barked, showing that he wanted to buy some of them. The butcher, thinking the dog wouldn’t know the difference, picked out the worst chops. The dog barked angrily and continued to bark until the butcher selected the finest chops. After the butcher took the money from the dog’s mouth, the dog picked up the chops and left the shop.The butcher was deeply impressed and decided that he would like to own a clever dog like that. He closed up shop and followed the dog to see where it went. The dog entered an apartment house, climbed to the third floor, and began to scratch on the door. With that, the door opened and an angry man started yelling at the dog. As he did so, the butcher stepped forward to ask the man to stop. “What are you doing?” That’s the smartest animal I’ve ever seen! Surely it doesn’t deserve this kind of treatment.” The butcher then went on to explain how the dog had bought the best lamb chops in the shop. The man looked at the butcher from the corner of his eye and said, “I don’t think he’s so intelligent. You see, this is thirdVI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: A Birthday PresentMary: David, how did your mom like the dog you gave her for a birthday gift?David: Oh, Mary, she was delighted. It licked her hand and wagged its tail and she was hooked.Mary: What did she call it?David: She’s calling it “Brian”, after a friend of hers.Mary: Your mom always did have a sense of humor. I read somewhere that dogs can become very close to their owners. David: I’ve heard that. I saw an interview on TV with a man who had epileptic attacks, and his dog would warn him before he would have an attack.Mary: Really? I wonder how they can do that1David: It ahs something to do with the dog’s sense of smell. It’s very keen.Mary: Do you think Brian will be able to foretell when your mom is going to roast a chicken?After David gave his mom a dog as a birthday present, she was very pleased, for the dog licked her hand and wagged its tail. She called it Brian after one of her friends. Mary read an article which says that dogs can be faithful to their owners/masters. David agreed, for he saw a TV interview which introduced a dog that could warn its master of an epileptic attack. He explained that this ability of the dog’s has something to do with its keen sense of smell. Jokingly, Mary said she wounded whether the dog Brian can foretell/predict when David’s mom is going to roast a chicken.Task 2: 100 Percent Polar BearOne afternoon in the Arctic, a father polar bear and his son polar bear were sitting in the snow. The son turned to his father and asked, “Dad, am I 100 percent polar bear?”“Of course, son, you’re 100 percent polar bear.”A few minutes passed, and the bear turned to his father again and said, “Dad, tell me the truth. I can take it. Am I 100 percent polar bear? No brown bear or panda bear?”“Son, I’m 100 percent polar bear and your mother is 100 percent polar bear, so you’re certainly 100 percent polar bear.”A few minutes passed, and the son polar bear again turned to his father and asked, “Dad, don’t worry. But it’ll hurt my feelings if it’s not true. I really need to know…am I really 100 percent polar bear?”Somewhat angered by this continued questioning, the father polar bear yelled at his son, “Why on earth do you keep asking is you’re 100 percent polar bear?”“Because I’m freezing to death out here!”1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FTask 3: An Introduction to Advertising“Are you ready to go to work?” a woman asks her dog Sydney. The dog was her tail. Then she starts sniffing around inside the house. Sydney is hunting for mold. When she sits down, that means she smells mold nearby. Usually mold is found within three or four feet. A boy who lives in this house has epileptic attacks. It could be from mold. His mother wanted to find the mold. She tried other ways to find it, but they didn’t work. She said she trusted the dog more than the other ways. Workers found mold near where Sydney sat. Nobody had thought to look for mold there before. Now it can be cleaned out and the boy will feel much better.Sydney is very special. Only about ten animals in the U.S. can do this. She spent hundreds of hours with a police dog trainer in Florida to learn how. In the U.S., people have used dogs to find drugs and bombs for a long time, but dogs that find mold are something new.People in Europe have used mold-sniffing dogs for many years. Dogs are cheaper to use than human trackers and can find exactly where the mold is. They also do it quickly and for less than %500. Other methods may cost thousands of dollars and take many weeks.1.D2.C3.B4.A5.DSpeakingA Funeral for a Dead FishNancy: Westerners often take pets as their friends, even their family members.

Unit FiveSection A 优雅的双手我从未见过克拉克夫人，但看过她的医疗记录和上一位值班医生交给我的报告后，我知道她今晚会去世。

她屋里唯一的光线来自一台医疗设备，它闪着红光，似乎在发出警告。

我站在那里，一股怪味刺激着我的鼻子，我想起了过去闻到过的腐烂的气味，我闭上了眼睛。

我嘴里有一股从胃里返上来的酸味。

我伸手去开灯。

灯静静地照亮了整个病房，我走回病床边，用无动于衷的、医生的目光观察着病人。

克拉克夫人已奄奄一息了。

她一动不动地躺着：骨瘦如柴的身体使她的头显得特别大；皮肤呈暗黄色，松松地裹在嶙峋的、连毛毯也遮掩不住的骨骼上；她的右臂平伸在床边，被无情地用胶带固定在一块板上，以便能固定针头使液体滴入；左臂横放在深陷的胸部，胸口随着不均匀的呼吸一起一伏。

我伸手去触摸她放在胸口的细长手指。

冰凉冰凉的。

我忙将手移到她的手腕，去感觉那微弱的脉搏。

克拉克夫人将头稍稍转向我，微微地睁开眼。

我俯过身去，勉强听见她微弱的声音：“水。

”我从桌上拿起一杯水，用手指封着吸管的一端，滴了几滴凉凉的水到她的嘴里，以缓解她的干渴。

她没有用力去吞咽，因为力气不够。

“还要，”那干涩的声音说。

于是我们又重复了一次。

这次她终于咽了一些，并轻轻说了声：“谢谢，你。

”她虚弱得没法交谈，因此没等她要求，我就开始做她所需要的。

我像抱孩子似的把她抱起来，给她翻了个身。

除了一件浅色的病号服，她什么也没穿。

她又小又轻，像遭受了严重饥荒一样。

我打开护肤霜的瓶盖，揩了一些在手心。

为了不伤着她，我小心翼翼地把护肤霜擦在她发黄的皮肤上。

她的皮肤松松地在骨头上滑动，背上每块骨头的轮廓都能清楚地摸到。

当我把枕头放在她两腿之间时，发现它们也是冰凉的，直到把手移到她膝盖以上的部位，我才感受到血液供给生命的热度。

而后，我挪了把椅子面朝她坐在床边，握住她那只没被固定的手，此时我又一次注意到她细长的手指。

很优雅。

一时间，我突然想知道她是否有家庭，接着我发现病房里没有花，没有孩子们画的彩虹和蝴蝶，也没有卡片。
