Translate the following paragraph into English using the words and expressions in the box below.▆ Answer for reference:That was a time when life was difficult for everyone. My family could barely get by on my small income from driving a cab. One late night I responded to a call for a cab ride. To my surprise, when I arrived at the address, I found it was a frail old lay who was awaiting me. After she got into the cab, I engaged her in conversation. I learnt that she was going to the hospice. Her doctor said she didn’t have very long. The old lady told me to drive through the downtown area. She pointed at some old buildings, telling me those were the places where she used to work or live. When the cab finally pulled up in front of the hospice, I didn’t accept her fare. In the rest of the day, I was lost in thought. Though I had to make a living, I lived not for the sole purpose of surviving. When circumstances looked gloomy, the small favour I had done could be a candle light. However faint the light was, it managed to warm up a soul and ennobled me as well. I did take pride in that small favour.Theme-Related Writing▆Do one of the following writing tasks after class.1)Suppose you were Frannie, the head waitress, in Text A. Write a short story about Stevie fromyour perspective.2)Read the following newspaper clipping and write a short essay on the question:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus during Rush Hours?▆Sample Essay for Task 1:We all knew Stevie was mentally handicapped, so everyone, especially our boss himself, doubted whether he would be a capable busboy in the truck-stop restaurant where I worked as the head waitress. However, our worries were gradually removed one week later. Smiling and hard-working, Stevie won over all our trucker regulars as well as us employees.Later we learnt that Stevie badly needed the job because the money he earned made it possible for his mother and him to live together; otherwise he would be sent to a group home. So you can imagine how worried Stevie was when he had to take sick leave for heart surgery. He was afraid that he would lose his job. After the operation, in the week before he returned, he called 10 times to make sure that he could still have the job back. At that time, what concerned me most was how Stevie could handle the huge medical bills.But something happened which completely caught me unawares. Our regular customers, those warm-hearted truckers, were so generous that they, together with their companies, contributed over $10,000 for Stevie. That Thanksgiving Day was a big day when Stevie was back to work and when the money was presented to Stevie as a surprise gift. I cried a bit while people were cheering for the occasion.Now, Stevie is still working here. Our boss thinks that Stevie is the best worker he has ever hired. (240 words)▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus During Rush Hours?I am amazed to read what a blogger says about of fering bus seats to the elderly. He claims that “it’s the young who need it more” because they go to work early in the morning and feel exhausted after a day’s work. The blogger also argues that it is unfair to offer seats to the elderly since they already enjoy free rides, and further suggests that during rush hours senior citizens be denied such treatment.I could never bring myself to agree with the blogger. Taking good care of the elderly is a universally accepted standard of conduct. In my opinion, offering seats to our elders is not just an indication of good manners; it is a moral issue. I always consider it my moral obligation to help others. Yes, you may feel comfortable for a while by remaining in your seat, but you will lose your character and moral values in the long run.Respecting the elderly is also our social convention. It is precisely out of our love and respect for the elderly that such special benefits as free rides are offered to them. No one can deprive senior citizens of their right to go out by bus at any time they like, and what’s more, we should make sure that they get special care when the bus is fully packed with passengers.Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone involved. It is through performing such small acts as offering seats to the needy that we learn to contribute to the building of a harmonious society. (268 words)。

Complete the following passage with words and phrases chosen from Text A. The initial letter of each is given.Today young people tend to jump on the bandwagon of love with so much h aste (1) that they fail to realize the essence of true love. Given the current s tate o f a ffairs (2), we need to consider more closely the nature of love. True love has to be d istinguished (3) from the pleasures of the flesh. True love means a m eeting o f m inds (4) and it takes time to b lossom (5). People who are in true love focus more on i nner c harm (6) than on physical beauty, more on i ntimacy (7) than on closeness, more on e motion (8) than on passion, more on sharing than on a cquiring (9). As true love happens once in a lifetime, they have in their minds the i deals (10) of the relationship. They share mutual respect, a dmiration (11) and plenty of romance, so their relationship is l asting (12) and meaningful. Preserving true love requires effort, however. You should gift your object of a ffection (13) your time, company, support and friendship; you should give yourself and your beloved time and space to f orge (14) alife-long bond; and you should h onor (15) your commitments. In short, you should devote yourself to your love. Your devotion to love will, in return, bring you an o verwhelming (16) joy.Complete the following passage with words and phrases chosen from Text A. The initial letter of each is given.What is genuine friendship? Some c lassical (1) views may help us understand the n otion (2) of friendship more clearly. Aristotle distinguishes genuine friendship from two other forms: one based on mutual u tility (3) and the other on pleasure. While the g round (4) for the latter two forms of friendship is closely related to material benefits, short-term interests or age, genuine friendship o ccurs (5) only between those who are similar in their g oodness (6). Cicero, another ancient scholar, believes that true friends’ actions and lives should leave no question a s t o (7) their honor, purity, equity and liberality. Whether or not one p ossesses (8) any superiority over the other, both must regard themselves as equals of the other and try their best to preserve the friendship. Moreover, true friends are b ound (9) together, as a friend is said to be a m irror (10) in which you may perceive and know yourself. When v irtuous (11) friends share a c ommitment (12) to the good, they can recognize each other’s m oral e xcellence (13) and fulfill their self-improvement.Complete the following passage with words and phrases chosen from this unit. The initial letter of each is given.AIDS is a terrible disease. It poses a t hreat (1) to all the human beings without caring whether you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old. But what is a t r isk (2) now is not just the people i nfected (3) with the disease. Human civilization itself is being threatened. This is because the whole society tolerates both ignorance of and p rejudice (4) against HIV or AIDS. Once diagnosed (被诊断) as HIV-positive, the victims are i solated (5) or treated as outcasts. They are believed to have c ontracted (6) something evil or to have entered some alien state of being. As a result, these poor people have tos helter (7) the flickering candle of life from the cold wind of rejection by their family members. When they die of the disease, their families dare not whisper the word AIDS. They just g rieve (8) silently. Thus, our prejudice and silence have helped the disease a long (9). Now HIV marches firmly towards AIDS in more than a million American homes, littering its p athway (10) with the bodies of the young. To guard against the disease effectively, we must take this i ssue (11) seriously. People should be educated to b ring (12) those negative attitudes to an end. We should not see AIDS as something e vil (13) and the patients as alien. Instead, we should c oncern o urselves w ith (14) the prevention of the disease and render strong s upport (15) to the patients with more compassion. Only in this way can we have a better chance of winning the war against AIDS.Complete the following passage with words and phrases chosen from this unit. The initial letter of each is given.Mankind hopes for a better world to live in. T o t his e nd (1), man has to confront the inevitable conflicts that the future holds i n s tore (2). Since education plays an i ndispensable (3) role in managing those conflicts, the following four pillars of education are proposed. Learning to live together c alls f or (4) an understanding of others and awareness of the d iversity (5), similarities and interdependence of all people so that people can i mplement (6) joint projects. I n a ccordance w ith (7) the global changes brought about by scientific progress, the e mphasis (8) in learning to know should be put on c ombining (9) a broad general education and the opportunity to study a small number of subjects i n d epth (10). Associated with the issue of occupational training, learning to do aims to e quip (11) people to cope with various situations and work in teams. The fourth pillar is learning to be, which focuses on the complete development of one’s potential when going after a(n) i ndependent (12) critical way of thinking and judgment. Given the convenient a ccess (13) to knowledge in the information era, everyone longs for a way to g et the most o ut o f (14) their own specific educational environment. These four interrelated pillars can help us make the best out of education and attain our future ideals.。

In fact, “work” involves such qualities as wisdom, enthusiasm, imagination and creativity.To do his work well, a worker must have a spirit of dedication, and be capable of bearing hardships and standing hard work. In addition, he should have initiative and creativity. Having initiative means the worker should be ready to grasp every opportunity to display his outstanding ability.In addition, a worker should make clear the nature and significance of the work he does, be responsible for whatever he is doing and plunge himself into the work with vigorous enthusiasm. If he can do so, he will find a job no longer a burden but an indispensable part of his life. Whatever he does, he can always find values and pleasure in the work and achieveextraordinary results in otherwise ordinary work.THEME-RELATED WRITINGWrite a composition of no less than 150 words on the topic “My Career Choice”.

No one can live outside nature. However, the previous dynamic balance between man and nature has shown signs of breaking down.

Man relies on the environment for water, food and shelter. A harmonious relationship between man and the environment is essential for human survival on the earth.However, man and the environment have never been on such bad terms as they are now. As society develops, m an’s transformation of nature has severely polluted his living environment. Deforestation leads to changes in rainfall patterns, causing devastating floods, droughts and sandstorms. The discharge of chemical pollutants endangers our health and the lives of other beings. And mass production has resulted in the shortage of irreplaceable natural resources such as coal and oil. If we take no immediate and effective steps to protect our environment, human beings may be the next species to become extinct.We should do our best to protect our environment by planting more trees, taking care of wildlife, reducing industrial wastes, using renewable energy, and imposing heavy fines on environmentally-unfriendly activities,so as to preserve the environment for future generations.(167 words)。

Listen and Respond1I am now a fourth-year student at college, but I can never forget my freshman year here. In general, it is a time filled with anticipation, some anxiety, and wonderful discoveries.College is a lot different from high school. Your freshman experience will definitely make an impression on you. So, what can you expect as you head off into the wonderful world of higher education?The first thing yo u’ll notice is the workload. It will be heavier than you ever experienced before. The major challenges of college work are the large amount of reading and writing, and the short deadlines. A related effect that can be brought on by the workload is doubt, frustration, and possibly loneliness. You’ll be away from the comforts and friendships your home provided for you over the previous years.During the freshman year, you’ll be making a lot of new friends. But you should continue to be yourself. Select your friends with the same care and patience you have always shown. Believe it or not, your college friendships will be among the most satisfying and long-term of your life. I t’s always exciting to discover how wonderfully diverse college relationships can be.You’ll also be on your own-you’ll be your own boss 24 hours a day, so to speak. But, remember, with freedom comes responsibility. You should always remember that you are at college with an anticipated mission. Don’t waste your time on meaningless things.During the freshman year, you may even start thinking about your future. Maybe a certain professor is especially inspiring. Perhaps your school has some great research going on. If some area of study attracts you, find out all you can about it. It might be the beginning of your lifetime career. Going to college is not just to get a degree-it is to find out who you really are and what you are really made for.Task Two1.anticipation; wonderful discoveries2.heavier; reading and writing; deadlines3.most satisfying; long-term; wonderfully diverse4.anticipated mission; meaningless things5.who you are; what you are really made for2Unit 2 Learning a LanguageListen and RespondHello, I'm Alberto.I'm a student of English, French, Portuguese and Italian.I would also love to learn Chinese and German in the near future.My mother tongue is Spanish and I have a degree in Political Science.I love to learn new languages, because I think it broadens my mind.Even though I still have some difficulty with verb tenses,I'm confident that with time and practice I'll cope with them.I believe learning a new language besides your mother tongue can be useful,especially in a world where distances are shortenedand people from different countries communicate with each other more frequently.Learning a new language can be a good experience,but only if you keep in mind that nothing is obtained without some effort.In my opinion, the best way to learn a language is to read a lot.It doesn't matter what you read, but that you do it.Even if you don't understand everything,your reading comprehension skill will improve remarkably.Also, if possible, watch a lot of television in that language, or listen to CDs.Maybe at first you won't understand a word,but later you'd catch on to the rhythm of the language.Good dictionaries are necessary, and books regarding vocabulary can be a plus.The Internet is also a useful tool.The language you choose to learn might seem a little difficult at first,or even totally strange, but you'll get accustomed to it. Remember that the learning process is long, and that it never ends.However, it is also highly enjoyable.3The Birthday HeartOne day I was helping my mom preparing a picnic when my sisters arrived. They said, “Happy birthday, Mom!”and gave her some presents.I was sad. I had forgotten it was my mother’s birthday, but I didn’t want her to know that I had not remembered her birthday. I had one dollar in my piggy bank. With that I was sure that I could get a present that would show my mother how much I loved her.I went to the store. When I looked around, I suddenly realized that my dollar wouldn’t buy as much as I had thought it would. Then I saw a heart made of plastic. It contained typewriter correction paper. I knew that it would show my mother how much I loved her. It was ninety-nine cents.I took the heart to the cashier and gave her my dollar. She said that I didn’t have enough money because with tax the heart cost more than a dollar.I didn’t understand sales tax. All I understood was that I couldn’t’ give the heart to my mom.I went to put the heart back and the cashier asked me if it was my mom’s birthday. I nodded. Then she said that she could help me. She put some of her own pennies in the cash register with my dollar and gave me the heart in a bag.When my mother opened the bag and pulled out the heart, she exclaimed “What a beautiful present!”“It’s just what I need.”She put me on her lap and told me that she loved the heart and she loved me.I don’t remember many of the gifts that I have given my mother, but I will always remember the heart that I gave her on that birthday.Task Two1. sad2. her mother’s birthday3. want her mother4. how much she loved her5. wouldn’t buy6. ninety-nine7. put the heart back8. cash register9. “what a beautiful present! It’s just what I need.”10. her lap4Parents and TeenagersTeenagers and adults have a difficult time communicating. Teenagers often think adults don’t understand them. Adults often think teenagers just don’t listen to anything they say. That creates conflict. People very often use “generation gap” to explain the conflict between parents and children. However, the problem of communication between parents and teenagers does not all lie in the “generation gap”. It lies mostly in implied statements that are not fully communicated between a teenage child and a parent. Here is one example. Mother says: “Please take out thetrash.” The teenager replies: “OK.” However, one hour later the mother finds the trash is still in the kitchen and so becomes a bit unhappy. “I thought I asked you to take out the trash.” But the child replies: “You didn’t say I had to do it now.” Are you familiar with this kind of conversation? In this conversation the mother feels that the teenager should know what she means, but the teenager just doesn’t. Conversations like this take place around our home every day. They cause some unhappiness but are totally normal, and can usually be solved quite soon. It is when this type of “lack of communication”gets involved with the bigger issues of teenagers that larger problems can be caused. It is more difficult to solve these larger problems and it takes the efforts of both parents and teenagers to overcome such problems.Task Two1.don’t understand them2.don’t listen to anything3.generation gap4.fully communicated5.should know what she means6.some unhappiness7.gets involved with 8.solve these larger problems 9.to overcome such problems 5Script:What is personality? How does knowledge about personality help us?First of all, let us take a look at what personality means. In general, when psychologists talk about personality, they are usually looking for things that make a person different from others or things that can explain how a person is not the same as others. However, different psychologists have different ways of explaining what personality is. They often use tests to put people into categories and compare them. For example, people who are quiet and like to spend more time at home reading and doing their own things are called introverts. “Introverts”is spelt I-N-T-R-O-V-E-R-T-S. Others who enjoy going out and spending time with other people are called extroverts, E-X-T-R-O-V-E-R-T-S. Do you know which personality type you are? Are you an introvert or an extrovert.Second, how can knowledge about personality help us? Well, one of the ways is that by knowing how people behave and why they behave in a certain way, we can understand them better. This will help to make our relationship with them stronger. For instance, if we know that someone is an introvert, we will understand why he or she does not feel comfortable when he or she is with a big group of newly met people. We may then help this person to make friends and talk to others.Another way knowledge about personality can help us is when we want to improve ourselves. If we know what personality type we belong to and the reasons we behave the way we do, we can then try to change some of the bad things so that they can become good. In this way, we can make ourselves a better person.So, after listening to this short passage about personality, do you want to find out more about yourself?Task Two:1. explain2. quiet; spend time at home; own things; extroverts; going out and spending time with other people.3. understand; stronger4. comfortable5. improve6Xiao Wang: People are so impolite these days!Xiao Chen: What’s the matter, Xiao Wang?Xiao Wang: Well, you see, this morning I was sitting in the back of the bus, alone, by myself. A friend called so I talked on my mobile phone to him for a while.Xiao Chen:Yes? What happened?Xiao Wang: Well, two people kept giving me dirty looks. You know, this is not the first time. It happened before. And when I got off the bus, one of them told me to stop usingmy mobile phone. He said I had talked too loudly about private matters and hehad not the least interest in knowing about them. I just don’t understand thesepeople. What’s wrong with them?Xiao Chen: I see. Actually similar things have happened to me many times, too. I must say there’re rud e people everywhere these days. Like, the other day, I was sitting inthe park, smoking a cigarette. I was just sitting there, you know, enjoying the niceweather, looking at the birds, listening to music, and smoking.Xiao Wang:Yeah, what happened then?Xiao Chen: Well, when I finished my cigarette, I did what I always do when I smoke in the park. I put the cigarette butt on the sidewalk and crushed it with my shoe.Xiao Wang:Right. That’s what I usually do and there’s nothing wrong with it. This wa y it won’t be a danger to anyone.Xiao Chen: Well, this guy walking by saw me putting out my cigarette and told me that it was not very nice. He said it was bad for the environment. I just don’t get it. How canit be bad for the environment? Why are people so impolite?Xiao Wang:Well, well, I must say there are certainly rude people everywhere!Task Two1. alone2. looking at3. got off; private4. wrong5. crushed/ put out; danger6. very nice7. bad8. rude/ impolite。

一名语言教师的个人看法威尔•皮德克罗夫特1 我每天都会在报纸上、公共汽车上看到各种广告，声称轻轻松松就能学好英语。

按照这些广告的说法，学生不必费什么力气，要说一口流利的英语只需短短3个月,甚至10天就行。

广告还常常提到威廉•莎士比亚和查尔斯•狄更斯等英语文学大师的名号进一步激励学生。

每当看到诸如此类的广告时，我真是哭笑不得。

如果学英语真像这些广告所说的那么轻松，我恐怕得另谋出路了，因为不需要那么多合格的英语教师了。

但是肯定有许多人相信这些可笑的噱头，不然的话这些广告也不可能出现。

2 学生们喜欢实惠的速成学习方法也在情理之中，但要用浅显易懂的语言去解释为什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件简单的事，而且也无需装模作样地声称有什么人已经找到了一个万能的适合所有学习环境的教学方法。

一些专家甚至认为，有多少个好老师就有多少种好的教学方法，因为每一个老师都有其自身的特点。

3 有很长一段时间，人们认为学好一门语言唯一的方法就是去使用那种语言的国家待上一段时间。

当然去英国、美国、或者澳大利亚等国家学英语的学生肯定比那些不能去的学生具有很大优势，但是很多学生支付不起那笔费用。

有些学生走向另一极端：他们认为可以借助词典在家自学。

如果你认为英语中的每一个词在另一语言中都有完全对等的词，那就错了，反之亦然。

通过翻译法来给学生讲解口语的自然形式是不可能的，更不要说做到语音、语调地道了。

4 现在大量的教学活动还是建立在行为主义心理学的基础之上。

行为主义者热衷于让学生复述短语，不断做一些只需更换句中某个词的练习。

假如我们是鹦鹉或黑猩猩，那这些方法或许能奏效，可惜我们不是，这似乎让很多理论家引以为憾，否则他们提出的那些方法用起来就会容易得多了。

5 我个人认为，假如没有兴趣，任何人都不可能学好英语或其它任何语言。

与鹦鹉或黑猩猩不同，人类不会无缘无故地发出噪音，除非他们明白这些声音是什么意思，并且能将其与自己的生活联系起来。

值得牢记的是：语言是一种交际手段，人们在母语中怎么说怎么写，用另一种语言表达时也大同小异。
