Classification is made on the basis of a clear definition.5) In order to make a clear and logic classification, one needs to followa principle of classification and go on with a system consistently.For example, the categories of classification should be mutually exclusive and no overlapping is allowed.Reading 1 Causes for Global Warming2. Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel resource. It provides aboutone-quarter of the total energy the world uses, and 40 percent of the electricity generated worldwide is powered by coal. The steel industry also is greatly dependent upon this fossil fuel. Like other depleting sources of global energy, coal reserves are also on a steep decline.Moreover, coal is a greenhouse gas nightmare. Natural gas is comprised mostly of methane, although it also contains ethane, propane and butane.It is a convenient and efficient energy source. The major consumers of natural gas are the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. It is also used to generate electricity. Unlike other fossil fuels, naturalgas is cleaner and causes less pollution. Like other fossil fuels, this resource is depleting rapidly.Task 2 Understanding Lectures through ClassificationListening 11.

There are two interesting ideas in Freud’s theory: first, the existenceof unconscious motivation; second, the concept of unconscious conflict.Freud believes that unconscious motivation might play an important role in a lot of situations, such as marriage, forgetting a person’s name, calling out the wrong name etc. In his view, there are three processes going on in the head, namely, id, ego and superego, which are in violent internal conflict. Id functions on “the Pleasure Principle”, while egoworks on “the Reality Principle” and superego is the internalized rules of a society. Ego is in between id and superego.Task 3 Reading Classification ArticlesReading 2 Renewable Energy Sources—A Brief Summary1. 1) Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources suchas sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished).2)□√ The purpose of using renewable energy sources.□√ The classification of renewable energy sources.□√ The examples of different types of renewable energy sources.□√ The advantages and disadvantages of various types of renewable energy sources.□√ The history of the use of different energy sources.□ How energy is obtained from various sources.3) I would write:(1) The definition of the renewable energy.(2) The classification of the renewable energy.(3) The advantages and the disadvantages of various types of renewable energy sources.2. 1) The signing of the Kyoto Treaty.2) It converts the sun’s rays into energy.3) The main demerit is that it is limited.4) Sailors, farmers and architects.5) The main advantage is that this doesn’t produce any by-products thatcan be harmful to the environment.6) Because the Earth’s crust continuously decays, replenishing the heat.7) They use the force of the water to push the turbine which in turn powersa generator thus generating electricity.8) It poses a problem for fish and aquatic plants on both sides of the dam.9) They contain no petroleum, and they are nontoxic and biodegradable.10) The Environmental Protection Agency.3. 1) j. evolution 2) s. solar 3) a. architect 4) l. geothermal 5) p. preserve6) b. biodegradable 7) r. radioactive 8) f. crusade 9) h. distribute 10) q. radiant11) i. domestic 12) t. validation 13) k. generator 14) d. capture 15)g. definitely16) n. install 17) e. consumption 18) m. harness 19) o. internal 20) c. bladeReading 3 Types of Pollution5. 1) voluntary 2) construction 3) contamination 4) eruption 5) regulation6) deforestation 7) yield 8) irrigation 9) confine 10) sewage11) hazardous 12) residential 13) vapor 14) decay 15) erosion16) disrupt 17) particulate 18) underground 19) concentration 20) combat6.7.8.

What’s more, there is a health factor that affects both of them. Cannedfood loses some of the original fresh food nutrients when stored, and also has to be tinned with many preservatives and chemical factors that prolong the shelf life and apparent freshness of the food but could becometoxic if consumed too often. Fresh food, on the other hand, often comes straight from a farm and has all the nutrients Mother Nature intended for it. As we can see, fresh food offers many benefits that canned food lacks. Therefore, an informed diner should always choose to eat fresh.After all, we could all use to improve our health.Task 2 Understanding Lectures Through Comparison and ContrastListening 12. 1) T. What I’m just beginning to realize right now, is that we pay ahuge price for the speed that we claim is a big advantage of these computers.2) F. And they consume one and a half megawatts of power.

I estimate 10 to the16 bits per second, which is actually about very similar to what BlueGene does. So that’s the question.4) T. So what we are doing right now with computers with the energyconsumed by 1,200 houses, the brain is doing with the energy consumed by your laptop.5) F. How does that compare with the way computers work? In the computer,you have all the data going through the central processing unit, and any piece of data basically has to go through that bottleneck, whereas in the brain, what you have is these neurons.6) T. This is something that we’ve been working on for the last couple of years.3. 120,000 processors10 to the 16 bits per second1.5 megawatts10 quadrillion bits per second10 watts4. Although computers have strong power to process data, they still cannotcompare to the brain of human beings in which an unbelievable number of neurons connect and react with each other so that a real net could be accomplished perfectly.

I 16.R 17.O 18.PTask 21)The reasons are as follows”Firstly, students sometimes view academic dishonesty as a normal incidence and something ordinary. There are many reasons that they use to justify their cheating.Secondly, new techniques of cheating have been developed, including the use of high-tech tools, although the old ones are still dominant on campus, which makes it even more difficult for the faculty to identify.Thirdly, it is a common view to equate grades with the value of the student. Furthermore, grades are used to predict one’s future success. So some students tend to practice academic dishonesty with the aim of getting higher grades.Fourthly, little is known about the degree of academic dishonesty and no methods are devised to combat the problem. Besides, there are no strategies for deterring academic dishonesty for the faculty.Fifthly, honor codes are essential to reducing the level of cheating in colleges and should be established. However, their importance has been neglected.Last but not least, academic dishonesty is no longer a task of classroom management that can well be remedied by a single faulty with teaching responsibility. Administrators and professional organizations are expected to work together to maintain a healthy learning environment with a high level of trust between the faculty and the administration.2)Old techniques include bringing notes to class and having information written on water bottles,pens and gum wrappers. New techniques of cheating include using cell phones to get the information, communicate with others outside the exam room to obtain answers and searching answers on the web during an exam.Other forms include copying test responses from a classmate, taking exams for other people, failure to cite other people’s work, and purchasing research papers and presenting them as his/her work. Also actions such as breaking into the office or teachers files to access the test or answer key, sabotaging peers ongoing work or gaining illegal access to school computers to change official grades are all forms of academic dishonesty. (B)3)There are many reasons that students use to justify cheating: lack of time, poverty, uncaringinstructors, laziness, peer pressure, poor rile models, fear of failure and technology that has allowed cheating to be done easily. (C)Besides, research shows that a common view equates grades with the value of the student.Secondly, grades are used to predict one’s future success. This may cause the students to practice academic dishonesty.4)Studies show that honor codes were essential to reducing the level of cheating in colleges.Honor codes would be more successful when they were combined with a climate that emphasized the importance of academic integrity and an honor system that allowed for strong student involvement in the enforcement of academic integrity initiatives. Therefore, the administration should strive in the creation of the campus environment, seek the full support of all the college constituents, and ensure the implementation of the honor codes at theinstitution. (N)5)Academic fraternity means “all the people who work in academia.”It can stress integrity as a core institutional value that will shape the students’academic success.Task 31. a2. j3.

So they invent false information to deceive others, and then publish them.2)Bouville(2010) held that the major reason for the students to avoid academic dishonesty wasto obey the rules and escape punishment. Cheaters may get high grades which they do not deserve, and this unfair advantage will tempt them to continue with this fraudulent behaviour.3)Third, in each department there should be experienced faculty members, acting as academicintegrity chairmen, who are responsible for contacting and offering help to their fellow colleagues. Lastly, for faculty members who have tackled the cases of academic dishonesty well, public thanks and admiration should be given to them for what they have done.Task 6Main idea: Students developed new techniques of cheating, while the old ones are still dominant on campus.Task 7In the area of education, academic dishonesty is a chronic problem. Students have developed new techniques of cheating, while the old ones are still dominant on campus. Cheaters follow dishonest practices because of many reasons. Prevention of academic dishonesty demands joint efforts from students, teachers and administrators, of which the students’ contribution is vital for they are the ones to be subjected to the penalties. For the teachers, they can adopt four strategies to maintain academic integrity and meanwhile make efforts to motivate the students. For the administrators, they should strive in the creation of a healthy academic climate and ensure the implementation of the honor codes.Task 8(omitted)Task 9(omitted)Task 10Academic DishonestyAcademic dishonesty occurs when a student uses or attempts to use unauthorized information in the taking of an exam; or submits as his or her own work themes, reports, drawings, laboratory notes, or other products prepared by another person; or knowingly assists another student in such acts or plagiarism. Such behavior is abhorrent to the university, and students found responsible for academic dishonesty face expulsion, suspension, conduct probation, or reprimand. Instances of academic dishonesty ultimately affect all students and the entire university community by degrading the value of diplomas when some are obtained dishonestly, and by lowering the grades of students working honestly.Examples of specific acts of academic dishonesty include but are not limited to:a) Obtaining unauthorized information. Information is obtained dishonestly, for example, bycopying graded homework assignments from another student, by working with another student on a take-home test or homework when not specifically permitted to do so by the instructor, or by looking at your notes or other written work during an examination when not specifically permitted to do so.b) Tendering of information. Students may not give or sell their work to another person who plans to submit it as his or her own. This includes giving their work to another student to be copied, giving someone answers to exam questions during the exam, taking an exam and discussing its contents with students who will be taking the same exam, or giving or selling a term paper to another student.c) Misrepresentation. Students misrepresent their work by handing in the work of someone else. The following are examples: purchasing a paper from a term paper service; reproducing another person’s paper (even with modifications) and submitting it as their own; having another studentdo their computer program or having someone else take their exam.d) Bribery. Offering money or any item or service to a faculty member or any other person to gain academic advantage for yourself or another is dishonest.e) Plagiarism. Unacknowledged use of the information, ideas, or phrasing of other writers is an offense comparable with theft and fraud, and it is so recognized by the copyright and patent laws. Literary offenses of this kind are known as plagiarism.One is responsible for plagiarism when: the exact words of another writer are used without using quotation marks and indicating the source of the words; the words of another are summarized or paraphrased without giving the credit that is due; the ideas from another writer are borrowed without properly documenting their source.Acknowledging the sources of borrowed material is a simple, straightforward procedure that will strengthen the paper and assure the integrity of the wri ter. The Student’s Guide to English 104 —105, provides guidelines to aid students in documenting material borrowed from other sources, as does almost every handbook on writing style.Academic dishonesty is considered to be a violation of the behavior expected of a student in an academic setting as well as a student conduct violation. A student found responsible for academic dishonesty or academic misconduct is therefore subject to the appropriate academic penalty; to be determined by the instructor of the course, as well as sanctions under the university Student Disciplinary Regulations.If an instructor believes that a student has behaved dishonestly in a course, the following steps are to be followed:1. The instructor should confront the student with the charge of dishonesty and arrange a meetingwith the student to discuss the charge and to hear the student’s explanation.2. If the student admits responsibility for academic misconduct, the instructor shall inform the student (a) of the grade on the work in which the dishonesty occurred, and (b) how this incident will affect subsequent evaluation and the final grade. Because academic dishonesty is also a student conduct violation under Section 4.2.1 of the Student Disciplinary Regulations, the instructor must report the incident in writing to the Dean of Students.After investigating the incident and discussing it with the instructor, the Dean of Students, or his/her designee, will meet with the student and depending on the severity of the offense as well as on the student’s past conduct record, may handle the matter through an administrative hearing or schedule a hearing before the All University Judiciary (AUJ).This hearing, conducted according to the procedures outlined in the Student Disciplinary Regulations, is to determine the disciplinary action to be taken. In any case, the student’s academic adviser will be informed of the incident but may not insert any record of it in the student’s academic file.3. If the student claims to be not responsible for the alleged violation of academic misconduct, the instructor may not assign the student a grade for the work in question until the question of responsibility is resolved, unless circumstances require that an interim grade be assigned. The instructor shall consult with his or her department chair and report the incident in writing to the Dean of Students.The Dean of Students will refer the case to the Office of Judicial Affairs for investigation. After reviewing the report and completing an investigation, the Office of Judicial Affairs will file aformal complaint against the student if it is determined that there is cause to believe academic misconduct occurred. The case may be adjudicated through an administrative hearing or referred to a hearing before the All University Judiciary (AUJ) depending on the nature and severity of the violation as set forth in the Student Disciplinary Regulations.If the case is referred to the AUJ both the student and instructor will be invited to attend an AUJ hearing and present pertinent information. If the Administrative Hearing Off icer (in a minor case) or the AUJ (in a major case) finds the student responsible for the charge of academic misconduct, the instructor will inform the student (a) of the grade on the work in which the dishonesty occurred, and (b) how this incident will affect subsequent evaluation and the final grade. The Administrative Hearing Officer or AUJ will determine the appropriate disciplinary action with respect to the nature of the violation.If the Administrative Hearing Officer or AUJ finds the student “not responsible” for academic misconduct, the instructor will grade the student accordingly on the work in question and the student’s grade in the course will not be adversely affected. If th e student is found responsible the student’s adviser will be informed of the decision but shall not insert any record of the action in the student’s academic file.4. If a student either admits dishonest behavior or is found responsible for academic misconduct by the AUJ, the Off ice of Judicial Affairs (OJA) or AUJ may impose any of the following sanctions:a) Disciplinary Reprimand: An official written notice to the student that his/her conduct is in violation of university rules and regulations.b) Conduct Probation: A more severe sanction than a disciplinary reprimand, to include a period of review and observation during which the student must demonstrate the ability to comply with university rules, regulations, and other requirements stipulated for the probation period.c) Suspension/Deferred Suspension: The suspension is deferred subject to a definite or indefinite period of observation and review. If a student is found responsible for a further violation of the university Student Disciplinary Regulations or an order of a judiciary body, suspension will take place immediately.Def i niteThe student is dropped from the university for a specific length of time. This suspension cannot be for less than one semester or more than two years.Indef i nite:The Student is dropped from the university indefinitely. Reinstatement may be contingent upon meeting the written requirements of the AUJ specified at the time the sanction was imposed. Normally, a student who is suspended indefinitely may not be reinstated for a minimum of two years.d) Expulsion: The student is permanently deprived of the opportunity to continue at the university in any status.5. A student accused of academic misconduct has the option to stay in the class or to drop the class if the drop is made within the approved time periods and according to the regulations established by the university. If the student chooses to drop the class, the student will be required to sign a statement of understanding that if the student is later found responsible for academic misconduct, then the student will receive an F for the course.6. Procedures for appeal of either the All University Judi ciary’s conduct decision or theinstructor’s grade are outlined in the Student Information Handbook.7. In instances in which the student admits responsibility or is judged to be responsible by OJA or the AUJ, a staff member of the Dean of Students Off ice will counsel the student in an effort to deter any further such incidents.8. Student records concerning academic dishonesty are maintained in the Dean of Students Office for a period of seven years, after which the file records are purged. These student records are confidential; nothing from them appears on a student’s academic transcript.9. In the event that an instructor is uncertain how to handle an incident of suspected academic dishonesty, the Dean of Students is available at any time to provide advice and assistance to the instructor in deciding a proper course of action to be taken.10. Students enrolled in the College of Veterinary Medicine are bound by an honor code. A chargeof academic dishonesty may be made by a student or instructor to the Interclass Honor Board chairperson according to the procedures outlined in the Honor Code, or the instructor may follow procedures outlined above. The Interclass Honor Board functions as the judiciary of the College of Veterinary Medicine for the allegations presented to it.Other violations related to academic misconduct may include subsection 4.1.11 Misuse of Computers and subsection 4.2.20 Unauthorized Sale of Others’Intellectual Works.These subsections are located in the Iowa State University Student Disciplinary Regulations under section 4 of the Conduct Code.</~catalog/2005-07/geninfo/dishonesty.html>Short reportAcademic dishonesty occurs when a student uses or attempts to use unauthorized information in the taking of an exam; or submits as his or her own work themes, reports, drawings, laboratory notes, or other products prepared by another person; or knowingly assists another student in such acts or plagiarism.

Instances of academic dishonesty ultimately affect all students and the entire university community by degrading the value of diplomas when some are obtained dishonestly, and by lowering the grades of students working honestly.Examples of specific acts of academic dishonesty include obtaining unauthorized information, tendering of information, misrepresentation, bribery, plagiarism, etc. Academic dishonesty is considered to be a violation of the behavior expected of a student in an academic setting as well as a student conduct violation.In Iowa State University, a student found responsible for academic dishonesty or academic misconduct is therefore subject to appropriate academic penalty or to be determined by the instructor of the course, as well as sanctions under the university Student Disciplinary Regulations. If an instructor believes that a student has behaved dishonestly in a course, ten steps are to be followed to handle the problem. The case of Iowa State UniversityResearch Paper WritingTask 1Background part:The introductionObjective:To give an overview of various forms of academic dishonesty, student responses to academic dishonesty when it occurs and the measures taken by the faculty and institutional administrator to prevent its occurrence in their institutions.Synthesis of different views on a particular field: For example, in the section “Forms of Academic Dishonesty,” in Para. B, there are opinions of both Jonson and Martin (2005) and Petress (2003), which are organized by transitional words, such as “Petress noted of other forms of academic dishonesty ...”Similarities or differences of outside sources:For example, in the section “Faculty and Academic Dishonesty”, when it comes to what the faculty should do to reduce academic dishonesty, there are various opinions from Para J to L. Perress (2003) holds that they should set role models for the students and implement the measures that will help prevent academic dishonesty. Whitley and Keith-Spiegel believe that they should be encouraged to form a statement concerning academic integrity in their syllabi and to discuss integrity concerns in their classrooms. Kibler notes four strategies to help the faculty to implement academic integrity. Cole and Kiss suggest that more efforts should be made to motivate the students by the teachers.Task 2a. The forms of cheating.Text 3 deals with students’ new and old techniques of cheating, together with researchers’ practices of academic dishonesty.Reading 1 focuses on academic dishonesty in online courses.Reading 1 gives more updated and reliable information.b. The reasons that students offer for their cheating.In Text 3 the reasons the students use to justify their cheating include: lack of time, poverty, uncaring instructors, laziness, peer pressure, poor role models, fear of failure and technology that has allowed cheating to be done easily. (Para. C)In Reading 1, the reasons are multifold because opinions vary. Some of the reasons are based on a student’s individual characteristics (Gerdeman 2001), some are relevant to peer inf luence or peers’acceptability of cheating (Stephens, 2007), while others have something to do with the existence of an honor code (McCabe, 2002). Meanwhile, there are other common reasons by Chiesl and Bunn, of which seeing other students cheat and the perception of the percentage of students who cheat are the most significant. (Para. I,J,K)Reading 1 gives more updated and reliable information.c. The definition of academic dishonesty.In Text 3, there is no specific definition of academic dishonesty.In Reading 1, the author believes that definitions of academic dishonesty across studies tend to be about the same. Using the scale of Don McCabe (2002), the author defines academic dishonesty from eight aspects. Other studies differentiate planned and panic cheating, e.g., Bunn, Caudill and Gropper (1992). In a comparative study of online versus on-ground academic dishonesty, Stuber- McEwen, Wisely, and Hoggat (2009) believe that there are seven forms. Stephens, Young, and Calabrese (2007) examined various forms of conventional and digital cheating. With regard toe-learning, Underwood (2003) and Rogers (2000) def ine the term respectively, while Howell et al (2009) reviews various forms of technological cheating.

Therefore, in Reading 2 there is the part of “Methods”, which explains in detail the participants, materials, and design and procedure. The first-person narration is used to describe the process, which makes it less formal than the other two papers.3) What are the objectives of the three papers respectively?Text 3: To give an overview of various forms of academic dishonesty, student responses to academic dishonesty when it occurs and the measures taken by the faculty and institutional administrator to prevent its occurrence in their institutions.Reading 1: Examine perceptions of academic dishonesty in online and face-to-face courses, and discuss methods to reduce academic dishonesty in online courses.Reading 2: To investigate participants’ attitudes toward cheating and the effects of academic motivation, self-eff icacy, and academic integrity on cheating behaviors.4) How many aspects or sections do the two stand-alone literature review contain respectively?What are they?ThreeIntroduction, body, and conclusion5) Is the order of those aspects in each literature review logic al? And what’s the relationship?Yes.The literature review consists of three aspects: an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. The introduction part may tell the reason one is writing a review; the signif icance of the topic; the scope of the review; the organizational pattern of the review. The body will have a clear classif ication and synthesis of one’s reviewed readings in terms of chronological order or importance order. The conclusion should have a summary of the main agreements and disagreements in the literature and then any gaps or areas for further research. At last one’s overall perspective on the topic should be dealt with.6) How do the two authors illustrate their arguments in each section? Do they use their own research and f i ndings or synthesize other people’s research and f i ndings?By synthesizing other people’s research and f indings.No.Reading 2Task 51) indicate, is, identified, tend, will be2) predicted, was, have suggested, are, showed, appeared, were, wereTask 6A chimera is an individual composed of cells with different embryonic origins. The successful isolation of f ive human embryonic stem cell (HESC) lines in 1998 increased scientists’ ability to create human/non-human chimeras and prompted extensive bioethics discussion, resulting in what has been dubbed “the other stem cell debate” (Shreeve 2005). The debate about chimeras has focused on five main arguments. The Unnaturalness Argument explores the ethics of violatingnatural species boundaries. The Moral Confusion Argument alleges that the existence of entities that cannot be definitively classified as either human or non-human will cause moral confusion that will undermine valuable social and cultural practices. The Borderline-Personhood Argument focuses on great apes and concludes that their borderline-personhood confers a high enough degree of moral status to make most, if not all, chimeric research on them impermissible. The Human Dignity Argument claims that it is an affront to human dignity to give an individual “trapped” in the body of a non-human animal the capacities associated with human dignity. Finally, the Moral Status Framework maintains that research in which a non-human animal’s moral status is enhanced to that of a normal adult human is impermissible unless reasonable assurances are in place that its new moral status will be respected, which is unlikely given the motivations for chimeric research and the oversight likely to be provided.These arguments provide different rationales for restricting chimeric research and have different implications for the range of chimeric research that will be deemed unethical.</entries/chimeras/#Int>Task 71) Which sentences provide the background of the paper?Academic dishonesty is a problem that has been plaguing colleges and universities for generations. An investigation of any institution today will certainly reveal some forms of academic dishonesty.2) Which sentences form the literature review?Researchers of academic dishonesty vary in their reports of how many students cheat in college.3) What is the main limitation of the previous studies that the author mentioned?However, most research on academic dishonesty has relied primarily on self-reports of cheating behaviors.4) What’s the objective of the paper?The purpose of the study is to investigate participants’ attitudes toward cheating and the effects of academic motivation, self-efficacy, and academic integrity on cheating behaviors.5) What are the methods that the author will use?The present study includes an empirical portion in which participants are put in a situation in which cheating may be to their advantage.6) What is the author’s hypothesis?The hypothesis is that participants would be most likely to cheat when they are offered a monetary reward for success.Task 8Introduction 11) an introduction of the topic and its background2) a review about the previous studies3) the limitation of the previous studies4) a gap for the signif icance of the study5) the hypothesis of the author6) the objective of the paper7) the methodologyIntroduction 21) an introduction of the topic and its background2) a review about the previous studies and the limitation of the previous studies3) the limitation of the previous studiesTask 91) A2) B3) E4) C5) D6) FTask 10This paper details the strategies used for curbing academic dishonesty in online courses.Task 11Biologists have long known of patterns of inheritance, and eventually of inheritance mechanisms, that go beyond genetic inheritance (Jablonka & Lamb 2005; Sapp 1987). Two fundamental types of arguments led to this conclusion: arguments based on observations regarding patterns of inheritance, and arguments concerned with the localization of hereditary factors inside cells. Arguments of the first kind were based on hereditary relations and inheritance patterns that fail to conform to the rules ofMendelian inheritance (e.g., maternal inheritance). If Mendelian inheritance patterns are the result of the way the chromosomes in the eukaryotic cell nucleus behave, non-Mendelian heredity must depend on separate inheritance processes, mechanisms, or systems (Beale 1966; Sager 1966). Second, there were observations of hereditary phenomena that seemed to depend on factors residing in the cytoplasm of cells, rather than their nucleus, where the genetic material is localized. The interpretation of these observations was highly contested (Darlington 1944; Sapp 1987). Today, we know that some of these observations are related to the (maternal) inheritance of organelles residing in the cytoplasm, such as the mitochondria and chloroplasts, organelles which carry their own DNA. This however does not encompass all the mechanisms which underlie cytoplasmatic inheritance. Paradigmatic work on cytoplasmatic inheritance done by Sonneborn, Beale, Nanney, and their colleagues in the 1950s and 1960s, was concerned with patterns of inheritance in unicellular organisms, and in particular the protist genus Paramecium. It was suggested that the self-sustaining regulatory loops that maintain gene activity or inactivity in a cell would persist through cell division, provided the non-DNA components of the system (many of which reside in the cytoplasm in eukaryotic microogranisms) were shared among daughter cells. In this way, alternative regulatory phenotypic states would be inherited. Among the properties whose inheritance was studied were mating-type variations, serotype variations, and the structural or “surface inheritance” of ciliary structures. Remarkably, microsurgical changes to the ciliary structures on the surface of Paramecium cells are inherited by offspring. The stability of induced characters once the stimulus was removed (called “cellular memory”) and the number of generations characters were maintained varied widely.However, the results indicated that long-term stability and heritability need not be the result of changes to the DNA sequence (Nanney 1958).During the 1950s to 1970s a growing set of observations indicated that determined and differentiated states of cells are transmitted in cell lineages. These observations concerned studies of Drosophila imaginal discs by Ernst Hadorn; Briggs and King’s cloning experiments with amphibians; Mary Lyon’s work on X-chromosome inactivation; and work establishing the in vitro clonal stability of cultured cell lines. Eventually, the term epigenetic inheritance came to refer to hereditary variation that does not involve changes to the DNA sequence.The brief account of some of the early work on unicellular organisms given above illustrates some。

How to institute corrective educational measures? (B)2) The metropolitan Lagos is heterogeneous in its ethnic and socio-economic composition. (B)3) Most of the earlier reports attributed the negative change to attitudes and influencesimported from the developed world and the preference for bottle-feeding by the urbanized African. (L)4) For most Nigerians, urban existence means extreme individual and community poverty.Implicit in this is a great pressure on mothers to spend more time trying to augment the family income at the expense of caring adequately for their children.

In most of the cases the mothers’ nutritional awareness is better than their actual practice, and this is contradictory to the widely held beliefs that those illiterate and urbanized women suffer from inappropriate counseling.3) M ost of the earlier reports believe that people’s attitudes chang e negatively because of theinfluences from the developed world and the preference of bottle-feeding to breast-feeding by the urbanized African. Clearly such explanations are too simple and only suit a small number of people for they neglect the harsh realities of urban existence, which makes it diff icult for the mothers to prolong breast-feeding.Task 6 (Page 44)Main idea: Research shows that childhood malnutrition is more a result of objective conditions of people’s lives than ignorance on the mother’s part.Task 7 (Page 45)The major objective of the research paper is to assess the extent of decline in breast-feeding as well as the factors responsible for the negative change, and measures to tackle the problem. The study sample comprised 558 randomly selected women residents in Surulere, Nigeria. An interview was conducted by a standard questionnaire to obtain information. Research shows that the decline in breast-feeding in Nigeria is mainly due to the harsh realities of urban existence, which means extreme individual and community poverty. The current trend will not be reversed if the major structural defect of urban life in the developing world is not eliminated or controlled. Much can be done to educate the mothers on the use of hygienically acceptable supplementary foods from relatively inexpensive but nutritious locally available staple foods.Task 10 (Page 45)Breastfeeding Faces Challenges in ChinaUrbanization is closely linked to modernization, industrialization, and the sociological process of rationalization. Urbanization can describe a specif ic condition at a set time, i.e. the proportion of total population or area in cities or towns, or the term can describe the increase of this proportion over time. So the term urbanization can represent the level of urban development relative to overall population, or it can represent the rate at which the urban proportion is increasing.Upon hearing her baby wail, Zhang Shuyi finds herself at her wit’s end. Although she waspreviously confident that she would be able to breastfeed her child properly, she worries that she might not be able to give her baby enough milk.After giving birth to her son two years ago, 35-year-old Zhang, a doctor at the Capital Institute of Pediatrics in Beijing has continued to practice exclusive breastfeeding in strict accordance with international standards.Task 12 (Page 54)1) Para K Its topic sentence: Complex interactions between broad economic and socio-cultural factors inf luence infant-feeding practices in the developing countries.2) Para O Its topic sentence: Perhaps more lasting benefits will be achieved by emphasizing the education of mothers on how to prepare and use hygienically acceptable supplementary foods from relatively inexpensive but nutritious locally available staple foods.Academic Survival SkillsTask 1 (Page 58)Question 2S trong author version: Anyanwu (1985) claimed that “for most Nigerians, urban existence is synonymous with extreme individual and community poverty” for the great economic pressure on the mothers leave them little time to care adequately for their children. W eak author version: For most Nigerians, the great economic pressure on the mothers leave them little time to care adequately for their children, thus “urban existence is synonymous with extreme individual and community poverty”(Anyanwu, 1985).Question 3 Strong author version: Anyanwu (1985) claimed that it would be better if emphasis could be put on the education of mothers “on how to prepare and use hygienically acceptable supplementary foods from relatively inexpensive but nutritious locally availab le staple foods.” Weak author version: It will be better if emphasis can be put on the education of mothers “on how to prepare and use hygienically acceptable supplementary foods from relatively inexpensive but nutritious locally available staple foods” (A nyanwu, 1985).Task 2 (Page 59)1) Direct quotation. 2) The original source is quoted with a brief explanation in the beginning of the sentence. 3) The original source is quoted with the author’s comment inserted in the middle of the sentence.Task 3 (Page 59)A summary is much shorter than the original source for it only contains the main idea, omitting the details, while a paraphrase is usually the same length as the original source, making changes in vocabulary and structures about some diff icult words and expressions.Task 4 (Page 60)2) Chinese big cities suffer from congestion due to the steadily increasing number of vehicles.3) Some complex sentences may be meaningless.4) Learners are active for they attempt to learn from their experiences.5) Some educators believe that the choice of major makes the biggest difference for students entering college, while others think differently.6) Social networking services (SNS) has changed the way people socialize.7) Hirshi and Gottfreds on advance the theory of “self-control”to explain people’s propensity to commit or refrain from crimes.Task 6 (Page 64)Paragraph 2 Summary:Gordon and Taylor argue that the difficulties experienced by people with writing will become easier if they learn to deal with their reactions to it appropriately. Paragraph 3 Summary:Frick argues that education has been signif icantly changed by technology at some major turning points in history. The f irst example was the primitive modes of communication in prehistoric times.Paragraph 4 Summary: Hewitt believes that acts of academic dishonesty undermine the validity of the measure of learning.Paragraph 5 Summary: Edelso argues that besides natural resources, there are more important factors determining the wealth of people—the fundamental political and legal institutions of a nation.。
V. Keys to the ExercisesFocusing on ReadingTask 1Task 21) First, to understand the effect of GM crops on us and animals; second, to provide investigation intothe influence of GM crops on mammals, especially on their reproductive function.2) Because it is known that raw soybean contains a number of anti-nutrients and female hormone-likesubstances, a positive control group was created to guarantee the validity of the study.3) The major findings are: first, the mortality rate of the pups from the GM soya group was muchhigher and this high rate continued; second, the weights of the surviving rat pups were lower.4) Table 4 shows the weight distribution of the pups which reveals a much lower weight of the pupsfrom the GM soya group.5) Firstly, the transformation and the insertion of the foreign genes into the sexual/stem cells, or/andinto cells of the fetus. Secondly, the accumulation of Roundup residues in GM soya residues couldproduce negative effects of GM.Task 31) j 2) i 3) g 4) b 5) e 6) f7) c 8) s 9) d 10) q 11) w 12) x13) u 14) o 15) t 16) v 17) a 18) r19) h 20) n 21) m 22) p 23) k 24) l Task 4The most formal ones are: novel, stunt, impede, curb, hamper, allocate, dispense, persist, accumulate,presume, postulate, surmise, detrimental, pernicious, jeopardy, menace, perilTask 51) Therefore, we decided to carry out a study to see how the most commonly used GM crop affectedthe birth rate, death rate and weight gain of rat pups whose mothers were fed diets added withRoundup-Ready soya, a kind of GM food.2) This fact showed that the pups from the GM group were the same age as others, but changesappeared with the development of internal organs. A slight bad effect was found in the group withthe traditional soya, but this effect was not very important.3) The more surprising thing was that the pups were smaller, about half the size, so more milk shouldhave been given to the individual pups. They should have a better chance to grow best, unless theamount, and/or the quality of the milk, were not affected by eating the GM soya flour.Task 6Summary: GMO, with foreign genes from other species, displays certain novel characteristics andundergoes criticisms from scientists worldwide.Task 7Four major sources of the hazards of GMO have been discussed by scientists worldwide and thesehazards have been proved in many investigations. This study intends to f ind the effect of the mostcommonly used GM crop on the birth rate, mortality and weight gain of rat pups. Two weeks before their mating, three groups of rats which were sexually mature received respectively standard laboratory feed, feed supplemented with traditional soya and feed supplementedwith GM soya.It has been found that the GM soya group has a much higher rate of pup mortality than the other twogroups, and the pups continue to die over the period of lactation. This group also has lower weights.Task 8(omitted)Task 9(omitted)Task 10(omitted)Research Paper WritingTask 11) The methods section of Text 4 contains two parts: participants and procedure. The participant parttells the reader the participants (Wistar rats) and the number of rats used. The procedure part givesthe reader a summary of each step in the execution of the research.2) The writer divided the rats into three groups: the experimental group, the control group and thepositive control group. The division was intended to see how the GM crops inf luence the birth rate,mortality and weight gain of rat pups.3) Each step was made clear to prove the validity and reliability of the results and conclusion.

P stands for probability.They should be reported to show whether the difference in the means was statisticallysignificant.Task 9Past tense is used in the results section because the results were collected from the data in theexperiment.Task 10Similarity 1: Both sections use tables to report the data clearly and insert titles on the top of the tables.Similarity 2: Both sections use the past tense to present the data.Similarity 3: Both sections are concise and well-organized.Similarity 4: Paragraphs in both sections begin with an opening sentence telling the reader the aim ofthe experiments.Task 11Title: The number of different types of words recalled in different background music conditionsTask 12Table 1 The effects of time limit and television exposure on reading comprehensionTask 13—From the data it is evident that 36% of ...—The study of ... showed that ...—This fact indicated that ...—A slight negative effect was found in the group which ...—A very high rate of ... was observed in the group of ...—The subjectively estimated prevalence ... was somewhat greater for ... than for ... —Three manipulation-check questions indicated that ...—This survey of ... found that ...—A possible explanation for this finding may be ...—A one-way analysis of variance showed no significant effect of ...—Another one-way ANOVA indicated a significant effect of ...—... with no significant difference between the latter two groups.—No significant effect was found for ...—Unexpectedly, ... had no significant effect on ...—Unexpectedly, ... did not significantly affect ...Task 14shows; were; was; was; stopped; was; suggests; isTask 15(omitted)Academic Survival SkillsTask 1An academic essay is considered formal professional communication, with its primary goals asaccuracy, clarity and completeness. To achieve this style, formal language and clear organization shouldbe adopted. The language used in the article bears the following characteristics:1) Use formal words rather than verb phrases;2) Use long and complex sentences with clauses, nominal phrases;3) Avoid using f irst person or second person pronouns to achieve objectivity;4) Avoid using contractions.Task 21) Failure to protect the environment will cause children to suffer the most.2) These problems need to be addressed.3) However, endangered animals are available in many restaurants.4) Participating in social activities as volunteers can be of great significance to children.Task 3By comparing the above pairs of sentences, we can f ind the functions of nominalization. First, nominalization avoids the use of modal verbs (can, may, etc.), giving more logic to the statement;second, nominalization depersonalizes the statement by avoiding using first and second-personpronouns (I, you, we, etc.), making the writing impersonal and objective and increasing thecredibility; third, nominalization makes the sentence concise and succinct, thus easier for the readerto understand.Task 41) The model provides an explanation for the figure fluctuation in this period.2) But those skills can f ind their application in the exploration of the universe.3) The accidental release of radiation caused damage to a wide area for a long time.4) To obtain most readers’ acceptability and more profitability, the novel follows the most commonlyaccepted notions of morality and justice.5) The richness of the soil in this area contributes to the quick growth of the crops.6) The information explosion and the increasing obsolescence of knowledge are forcing upon highereducation a new set of demands.7) The times give signs on the necessity of modification in the legal system.8) The careful supervision of the crops is necessary for their survival at harvest time.9) Yet all of history has taught us that the denial of these ultimates and the placement of man at thecore of the universe will lead to mass selfishness.10) The knowledge of its sources and symptoms provides rational analysis of many things. Task 51) How we view the world is a reflection of how we view ourselves, and this gives us insight into ourinner thought patterns.2) That does not eliminate the need for us to continue to develop other clean energy sources like solar,wind, biomass, etc.3) Some analysts worried that the tax on the wealthy would discourage jobs creation and hampereconomic growth.4) This meeting highlights the importance of setting targets for progress.5) Too much criticism undermines the children’s co nfidence.Task 61) The opportunities offered by urbanization must be taken full advantage of.2) However, little control is exercised over online articles and speeches.3) The main effects of poverty can be illustrated by looking at those on the lowest incomes in richcities.4) Obviously, people were given jobs according to whether they were male or female.5) Although there are potential benefits of such techniques, the potential environmental and medicalconsequences of GMOs are seriously concerned about.6) A fairly consistent picture of its short-term effects on users in many publications are presented.7) Not much has been learned about the acute physiological effects of cannabis.8) People’s concerns can be understood if we look at the current anti-discrimination laws.9) The distinction between government policy and economic reality is made clear in the essay.10) Social conditions as well as the economic situation should be taken into account. Task 7I would prefer to use the ones in the left column.Task 81) Systems analysts can assist managers in many different ways.2) This program was established to improve access to medical care.3) Medical research expenditure has increased to nearly $350 million.4) Researchers have discovered that this drug has serious side effects.5) Exercise also will not eliminate medical problems related to blood pressure.6) Researchers have been investigating this problem for 15 years now.7) This issue was raised during the coroner’s inquest.8) He observed that the increase in life expectancy has led to some economic problems.9) Children under the age of 15 constitute nearly half of the country’s population.10) The study will conduct a series of experiments to test our hypothesis.Task 91) The study lacks solid evidence and therefore its conclusions are doubtful.2) The scientists are pretty fatigued after their lengthy experiment.3) The book attempts to explain the fundamental character of social life.4) The study confirms the fact that there is no research in this field.5) We noted a potential problem with the experimental design.6) The issue always generates a great deal of debate among academics.7) The group’s principal concern is to protect human rights.8) The research underlines the importance of an international trade agreement.9) There was an apparent discrepancy between the two sets of results.10) The primary cause of the failure was a sudden temperature change.VI.

新时代研究生学术英语综合教程1 第四单元text one 全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1Hi everyone! Today I want to talk about a really cool text I read called "Text One" from this big book for university students. It's all about how people use language in different ways depending on the situation. So cool, right?The text starts by explaining that we all use language differently when we're talking to our friends compared to when we're giving a speech or writing an essay for school. With our buddies, we use casual language with slang words and contractions. But for more formal situations, we have to use proper grammar and vocabulary.It gave this funny example about how you might say "Whassup?" to your friend, but you wouldn't say that to your teacher! You'd say "Good morning" instead. The text says this is called "code-switching" when we change how we speak based on who we're talking to. Pretty neat, huh?Then it goes into how there are different "registers" of language for different situations. Like there's the "frozenregister" which is super formal writing you'd find in legal documents and academic journals. Those have really fancy words and complex sentence structures. Definitely not how I'd write!On the other end, there's the "casual register" which is how we talk to our friends and family in relaxed, everyday conversations. We use simple vocabulary, slang, and informal grammar. Like if I was telling a funny story to my best friend, I'd say "So then Sam was like 'No way!' and I was like 'Yeah, really!'"The text says most of the time we use the "consultative register" though. That's semi-formal language, not too casual but not too fancy either. It's what teachers use for lessons, or whatreports and articles are usually written in. Gotta strike that balance, you know?But here's where it gets really interesting! The text explains that what register we use isn't just based on the situation, but also on our relationship with the person we're speaking to. We naturally use more formal language with people we don't know well or people in authority over us. But we're way more casual and informal with our close friends and family members.So like, if I was explaining this essay to my teacher, I'd speak more properly and say things like "The author states..." or "For example, the text mentions..." But if I'm just chatting with mybuddy Sam about it, I'd be way more relaxed and say "Dude, this thing says..." or "Like, it gave this funny example where...."Wild, right? Our languages changes so much based on the context and who we're talking to. I never really thought about it that way before!The text also points out that women and men sometimes use slightly different language registers too. Not in a good or bad way, just differently. Women tend to use more polite speech with more supportive phrases like "Don't you think?" or "It seems to me..." Guys are a bit more direct and use stronger words sometimes.But it's not just about gender - social class and background impact how we communicate too. People from higher social classes tend to use fancier vocabulary and grammar, while working class people are more casual and use more slang. Interesting how stuff like that makes a difference!Towards the end, it talks about "scripts" which are kind of like pre-planned ways of speaking for certain familiar situations. Like ordering at a restaurant, there's an expected script of the customer greeting the server, stating their order, and the server confirming it back. Or like at the doctor's office, the nurse usuallyhas a script of standard questions to ask about your symptoms. We all kind of expect those interaction patterns, you know?The last section was about "pragmatics" which is how we understand implied meanings behind what people say based on context clues and our background knowledge. Like if my mom says "Don't you think it's time for bed?" around 9pm, she doesn't actually mean that as a question - it's really a polite way of telling me to go to bed! Understanding pragmatics helps us read between the lines.Whew, that was a lot to cover! But I thought it was all so fascinating to learn about how complex human communication is. We take it for granted, but there are so many subtle social rules we all follow when we talk and write to others. Pretty mindblowing stuff!Anyway, that's my extremely casual and informal summary of "Text One" from the fancier textbook. I tried to explain it in a more conversational, kid-friendly way while still hitting the main points. Let me know if any of it needs more clarification or examples. Thanks for reading!篇2Hi friends! Today I want to tell you all about this really cool book I've been reading for school. It's called the New Era Comprehensive Academic English Course for Postgraduates 1. That's a really long name, I know! My big brother is a postgraduate student, which means he's studying even harder than I am after finishing university.Anyway, this book has all these different units, and the one I've been looking at is Unit 4. The first text in that unit is just called "Text One" - not a very exciting name, but the story itself is actually pretty interesting!It's all about these tiny little creatures called "insects." Have you ever seen an ant crawling across the ground? Or a butterfly fluttering around your garden? Those are insects! The text teaches us loads of awesome facts about how insects live, grow, and behave.For example, did you know that insects have six legs? And their bodies are divided into three main parts - a head, a thorax (that's the middle bit), and an abdomen (the back end)? Some insects also have wings to fly, while others don't. Apparently there are over a million different species of insects in the world! That's so many, I can't even count that high.The text explains that insects develop through different life stages called metamorphosis. This is where they completely change their body structure as they grow up. It's like if you were a tiny baby, then turned into a monster, then finally became an adult! Well, insects do that but in a less scary way.Some insects go through a type of metamorphosis called complete metamorphosis. This means they start off as a tiny egg, then hatch into a larva (like a caterpillar), then become a pupa (which doesn't move at all), before finally emerging as an adult insect. Other insects have incomplete metamorphosis, where they skip the pupa stage and just gradually get bigger as they shed their outer skeleton multiple times. Isn't that wild?But here's maybe the most amazing fact of all: insects have been living on Earth for over 400 million years! That's wayyyy before even the dinosaurs existed. The text says the earliest insect fossils have been found in rocks from the Devonian period.I had to ask my teacher what the Devonian period was - it turns out it was a really, really, really long time ago!Insects are totally crucial for the environment too. The text explains how they pollinate flowers, get eaten by other animals, decompose dead stuff, and lots more. Without them, whole ecosystems would collapse! Insects also produce useful thingsfor humans like honey, silk and certain medicines. Plus some people actually eat certain insect species as food. I'm not sure I'd want to try that though!There's so much other cool insect info packed into this text. Like how they detect smells through antennae on their heads. And how some mother insects lay hundreds or even thousands of eggs at a time! The text also describes different ways insects communicate through things like pheromones and dances. I wish I could learn to dance as well as a bee!Overall, I've learned that insects are these superpowered little creatures that seem kinda gross up close, but play a hugely important role in nature. The writer of this text clearly knew tons about them and explained everything in a really interesting, easy-to-understand way.I just wish the title of the text wasn't so boring - "Text One" is pretty lame if you ask me. Maybe they could have called it "The Awesome Lives of Insects" or "Bugworld" or something catchier like that. But I guess the name doesn't really matter when the actual content is so much fun to learn about!Anyway, that's my full report on Text One from Unit 4. Let me know if you want me to tell you about any of the other textsor units in this book. For now, I'm just buzzing with excitement over all the insect facts I've discovered!篇3My Big Bro Goes to Grad SchoolMy big brother just started grad school and he has to read a bunch of really hard books and stuff. One of them is called the "New Era Postgraduate Comprehensive Academic English Course 1". It's super thick and has a boring cover, but he says the readings inside are really interesting if you're into that kinda thing.Anyway, he was reading Unit 4, Text 1 the other day and I asked him what it was about. He got all excited and started explaining it to me in simple words that even a kid like me could understand. That's my bro, always making time for his little sis!So get this - Text 1 is all about these things called "human universals". My brother said that means stuff that ALL humans do, no matter where they're from or what language they speak. Isn't that weird to think about? We're all so different, but there are some basic things that make us, well, human.The first big universal they talk about is that every culture in the world has some kind of language. My brother pointed out how crazy that is - I use English to communicate, but some kid in rural China or a jungle tribe in the Amazon has their own completely separate language that sounds nothing like English. But we still both have a way to express ourselves. Mind blown, right?Another universal is that all cultures have families and some system for raisingkids. My brother said in some places, kids get raised by their parents, while other cultures have their kids raised by their whole village. But either way, the little ankle-biters have people looking after them until they can take care of themselves.Here's a really cool one - every culture in the world plays games and tells stories! The text says things like sports, board games, jokes, fables, and epic myth stories happen literally everywhere humans live. My brother let me read a part about how games with rules and competition seem to be hardwired into our brains from birth. That's why even babies like to play peek-a-boo!But then the text gets a little sadder when it talks about other universals like violence, conflict, and warfare. Apparently, as awful as wars and fights are, every society in history has hadsome form of violence happening. It made me really bummed to think that somewhere out there, other kids are suffering because of adult disagreements and battles.However, the saddest universal by far is that ALL cultures have to deal with death. My brother got teary-eyed explaining how every single person who has ever lived has lost someone they care about. Death is just a tragic part of the human experience that nobody can avoid forever. I started feeling really down just thinking about it.But then my brother gave me a big hug and reminded me about some happier universals, like art, music, dance, and celebration. He said that for every form of violence and sadness, humans have created incredible forms of beauty, rhythm, and joy to balance it out. Every culture marks important events and milestones with song, dance, feasting, and revelry as a way to appreciate the joyful side of life.You know, after hearing my brother explain it all, I have a totally new appreciation for how endlessly diverse yet deeply interconnected the human species is. We're all unique individuals and societies, but we're also part of this amazing global family tied together by our common thoughts, behaviors, and experiences.I'll never look at the world the same way again after learning about human universals. It's just really mind-blowing to realize that no matter where you go, who you meet, or what they look like, there's going to be common threads that make you brothers and sisters at the core. Humans are pretty awesome when you think about it that way.Okay, I've gone on long enough - my brother says I have the attention span of a squirrel. But I hope I did a good job explaining the basics of what Unit 4, Text 1 was all about. Just don't ask me to read the whole boring textbook...I'll leave that to the big kids in grad school! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some universally human games of pretend to go play.篇4My Exciting Adventure at the ZooHi everyone! Today I want to tell you about my awesome trip to the zoo. It was the best day ever! I saw so many amazing animals and learned a lot of interesting things. Let me share my adventure with you!First, let me tell you about the lions. They were so big and powerful! I stood there with my mouth wide open, watching them roam around their enclosure. The zookeeper told us thatlions are called the kings of the jungle. They have a loud roar that can be heard from miles away. I was a little scared but also fascinated by their majestic appearance.Next, I visited the monkey exhibit. Oh boy, those monkeys were so funny! They swung from branches and played tricks on each other. I couldn't stop giggling as I watched them. Did you know that monkeys are really smart? The zookeeper showed us how they can solve puzzles and use tools to get food. It was like watching a real-life cartoon!After the monkeys, I went to see the elephants. They were enormous! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how big their ears were. The zookeeper explained that elephants use their ears to cool themselves down on hot days. They also have a long trunk that they can use to spray water on themselves. It was so cool!One of the highlights of my trip was the giraffe feeding. I got to stand on a platform and feed a giraffe right from my hand. Their tongues are so long! It felt ticklish when the giraffe gently took the food from my palm. Did you know that giraffes are the tallest animals in the world? They have really long necks that help them reach leaves on tall trees. I felt like a giant standing next to them!Lastly, I visited the penguins. They were adorable! They waddled around and swam in the water with their little wings. The zookeeper told us that penguins can't fly, but they are excellent swimmers. They have a special layer of fat called blubber that keeps them warm in cold water. I wished I could jump in and swim with them!I had such a fantastic day at the zoo. I learned so much about different animals and how important it is to protect them. It was a fun and educational adventure that I will never forget. If you ever get a chance, I highly recommend visiting a zoo too. You'll have a blast just like I did!That's all for now. I hope you enjoyed hearing about my trip to the zoo. Remember, animals are amazing, and we should always treat them with kindness and respect. Bye for now!篇5Title: The Coolest Stuff I Learned About Ants!Hey, guys! You're not gonna believe the amazing things I learned about ants from this book my teacher gave me. It's like, the most interesting thing ever!First of all, did you know that ants are super-duper tiny? Like, they're so small that you can barely see them sometimes. But even though they're itty-bitty, they're actually really strong! Can you imagine an ant lifting something that's like, a hundred times heavier than it is? That's just crazy!But wait, it gets even better! Ants live in these cool underground houses called colonies. And you know what's really neat? They have their own little rooms and tunnels and everything! It's like a whole city, but for ants!And you know what else? Ants have different jobs, just like people do. Some of them are workers, and they're the ones who go out and find food and take care of the baby ants. Then there are the soldier ants, and their job is to protect the colony from any bad guys that might want to mess with them.Oh, and did I mention that ants can talk to each other? Well, not like we do, but they have their own special way of communicating. They use these cool chemicals called pheromones, which are kind of like secret codes that only ants can understand. Isn't that awesome?But wait, there's more! Ants are super smart, too. They can find their way back home even if they've never been somewhere before. It's like they have a built-in GPS or something! And getthis – some ants can even count! Seriously, they're like little math geniuses!Now, I know what you're thinking – ants are just boring little bugs, right? Wrong! They're actually really interesting and do all sorts of cool things. Like, some ants can farm their own food! They have these special gardens where they grow fungus, and that's what they eat. Can you imagine having a fungus garden in your backyard? Gross, but also kind of cool, right?And you know what else is really neat? Ants can lift up to fifty times their own body weight! That's like if you were as strong as an ant, you could pick up a whole car! Isn't that just crazy?But here's the coolest thing about ants – they're really good at working together. They're like one big, happy family, and they all help each other out. If one ant is having trouble carrying something heavy, the other ants will come and help. And if there's an enemy trying to attack their colony, they all team up and fight it off together.I think that's really cool because it shows that even though ants are tiny, they're still super strong and brave when they work as a team. It's like my mom always says, "Teamwork makes the dream work!" And ants are living proof of that!So, there you have it – all the coolest stuff I learned about ants. Aren't they just the most amazing little creatures ever? I think they're way cooler than dinosaurs or superheroes or anything like that.Who knew that something so tiny could be so awesome? I sure didn't, but now I can't wait to learn even more about these amazing little guys. Maybe one day, I'll even become an ant scientist and study them for real!Well, that's all for now, folks. But trust me, this is just the beginning of my ant adventures. Stay tuned for more cool ant facts coming your way soon!篇6Text One is all about the environment and how we need to take care of it. It talks about some big problems the world is having, like pollution, climate change, and animals going extinct. Those things are really scary! But the reading also talks about things we can do to help. I'll tell you all about it.The first part says that humans have changed the planet a whole lot, especially in the last few hundred years. We've built huge cities, cut down forests, dug up oil and coal from underground, and made lots of factories that pollute the air andwater. All of that has made the earth warmer, which is called global warming or climate change. That's really bad for animals and plants!Some animals are going extinct, which means there aren't any of them left in the whole world. That makes me really sad. The text mentions polar bears are in trouble because the ice in the Arctic is melting from the warmer temperatures. Polar bears live on that ice and hunt seals there. With less ice, it's harder for them to survive. Other animals like frogs, butterflies, and birds are disappearing too from pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. We have to try to save them!The text also talks about some places that have really bad pollution problems. In Mexico City, the air is so dirty and smoggy that it's hard for people to breathe. Kids can't even play outside very much because the pollution is so bad. In the rivers and seas near Southeast Asia, there's so much plastic trash from factories and people littering that it's choking fish, turtles, and other sea life. That plastic junk is really hurting them. We definitely need to clean that up.But it's not all bad news! The reading gives some examples of people trying to help the environment. In Costa Rica, they've saved a lot of the rainforests by making national parks wheretrees can't be cut down. That protects all the cool animals like monkeys, toucans, and jaguars that live there. In Rwanda, they brought back the mountain gorilla population by cracking down on poachers and creating a gorilla sanctuary. Now tourists can go see the gorillas, which earns money for protecting them.Individuals can help too, not just governments. We can reduce, reuse, and recycle to cut down on waste. Turning off lights, taking shorter showers, and walking or biking instead of driving helps save energy and natural resources. Even kids can get involved by picking up litter, planting trees, and using both sides of paper to avoid wasting it. Every little bit helps make the world a cleaner, greener place!The text points out that humans caused a lot of these environmental problems through our activities like deforestation, mining, and manufacturing. But we're also the only ones who can fix it by changing our habits and taking action. The author seems hopeful that if we all work together, we can solve issues like pollution, climate change, habitat loss, and extinction of species. We just have to care about the planet and do our part.I really liked learning about the different environmental challenges from this reading, even if some of it was scary. It's sad that so many animals are struggling because of things likedeforestation, plastic waste, and air pollution. The polar bear situation especially broke my heart. I sure hope we can save them and other endangered creatures before it's too late.But I'm glad the text also gave examples of how we can turn things around, like protecting rainforests, creating national parks and animal sanctuaries, and reducing waste. Hearing about kids getting involved by doing simple things like recycling, saving energy, and cleaning up litter made me feel empowered. Even little eco-warriors like us can make a difference!I think the main message is that the environment is in trouble from human activity, but we can still save it if we change our ways. We all need to go green and take care of the earth. It's the only planet we've got, so we better not wreck it! Who's with me?。

Unit TwoTask 1 Familiarizing Yourself with Classif ication1. Skim the f ollowing passage f or the answ ers to the questions below .1) Man-made or anthropogenic causes, and natural causes.2) Pollution (burning fossil fuels, mining coal and oil, etc.), the production of CO 2 ( the increase ofpopulation, the demolition of trees, etc.) 3) CO 2 is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth ’s atmosphere.4) Classif i cation helps us to determine and understand the relationship of the parts of a subject which is studied by us. Classification is made on the basis of a clear definition.5) In order to make a clear and logic classification, one needs to follow a principle of classification and go on with a system consistently. For example, the categories of classification should be mutually exclusive and no overlapping is allowed.Reading 1Causes for Global WarmingTask 2Understanding Lectures through Classif icationListening 11.

Listen again and piece y our notes together into a shor t summar y . Then r etell the lectur e to y our par tner .There are two interesting ideas in Freud ’s theory: first, the existence of unconscious motivation; second, the concept of unconscious conflict. Freud believes that unconscious motivation might play an important role in a lot of situations, such as marriage, forgetting a person ’s name, calling out the wrong name etc. In his view, there are three processes going on in the head, namely, id, ego and superego, which are in violent internal conflict. Id functions on “the Pleasure Principle ”, while ego works on “the Reality Principle ”and superego is the internalized rules of a society. Ego is in between id and superego.Task 3 Reading Classif ication ArticlesReading 2 Renewable Energy Sources —A Brief Summary1. W ork with a par tner or a gr oup of 3—4 students .

HTask 2 (Page 33)1) The report attempts to evaluate current maternal perceptions of infant-feedingamong different ethnic, religious, cultural, and socio-economic groups in Nigeria. The research questions include: What is the current situation of the decline in breast-feeding in Nigeria? What are the major factors responsible for the negative change? How to institute corrective educational measures? (B) 2) The metropolitan Lagos is heterogeneous in its ethnic and socio-economic composition.

In most of the cases the mothers’ nutritional awareness is better than their actual practice, and this is contradictory to the widely held beliefs that those illiterate and urbanized women suffer from inappropriate counseling.3) Most of the earlier reports believe that people’s attitudes change negativelybecause of the influences from the developed world and the preference of bottle-feeding to breast-feeding by the urbanized African. Clearly such explanations are too simple and only suit a small number of people for they neglect the harsh realities of urban existence, which makes it diff icult for the mothers to prolong breast-feeding.Task 6 (Page 44)Main idea: Research shows that childhood malnutrition is more a result of objective conditions of people’s lives than ignorance on the mother’s part.Task 7 (Page 45)The major objective of the research paper is to assess the extent of decline in breast-feeding as well as the factors responsible for the negative change, and measures to tackle the problem. The study sample comprised 558 randomly selected women residents in Surulere, Nigeria. An interview was conducted by a standard questionnaire to obtain information. Research shows that the decline in breast-feeding in Nigeria is mainly due to the harsh realities of urban existence, which means extreme individual and community poverty. The current trend will not be reversed if the major structural defect of urban life in the developing world is not eliminated or controlled. Much can be done to educate the mothers on the use of hygienically acceptable supplementary foods from relatively inexpensive but nutritious locally available staple foods.Task 10 (Page 45)Breastfeeding Faces Challenges in ChinaUrbanization is closely linked to modernization, industrialization, and the sociological process of rationalization. Urbanization can describe a specif ic condition at a set time, i.e. the proportion of total population or area in cities or towns, or the term can describe the increase of this proportion over time. So the term urbanization can represent the level of urban development relative to overall population, or it can represent the rate at which the urban proportion is increasing.Upon hearing her baby wail, Zhang Shuyi finds herself at her wit’s end. Although she was previously confident that she would be able to breastfeed her child properly, she worries that she might not be able to give her baby enough milk.After giving birth to her son two years ago, 35-year-old Zhang, a doctor at the Capital Institute of Pediatrics in Beijing has continued to practice exclusive breastfeeding in strict accordance with international standards.Task 12 (Page 54)1) Para K Its topic sentence: Complex interactions between broad economic and socio-cultural factors inf luence infant-feeding practices in the developing countries.2) Para O Its topic sentence: Perhaps more lasting benefits will be achieved by emphasizing the education of mothers on how to prepare and use hygienically acceptable supplementary foods from relatively inexpensive but nutritious locally available staple foods.Academic Survival SkillsTask 1 (Page 58)Question 2S trong author version: Anyanwu (1985) claimed that “for most Nigerians, urban existence is synonymous with extreme individual and community poverty” for the great economic pressure on the mothers leave them little time to care adequately for their children. W eak author version: For most Nigerians, the great economic pressure on the mothers leave them little time to care adequately for their children, thus “urban existence is synonymous with extreme individual and community poverty”(Anyanwu, 1985).Question 3 Strong author version: Anyanwu (1985) claimed that it would be better if emphasis could be put on the education of mothers “on how to prepare and use hygienically acceptable supplementary foods from relatively inexpensive but nutritious locally availab le staple foods.” Weak author version: It will be better if emphasis can be put on the education of mothers “on how to prepare and use hygienically acceptable supplementary foods from relatively inexpensive but nutritious locally available staple foods” (A nyanwu, 1985).Task 2 (Page 59)1) Direct quotation. 2) The original source is quoted with a brief explanation in the beginning of the sentence. 3) The original source is quoted with the author’s comment inserted in the middle of the sentence.Task 3 (Page 59)A summary is much shorter than the original source for it only contains the main idea, omitting the details, while a paraphrase is usually the same length as the original source, making changes in vocabulary and structures about some diff icult words and expressions.Task 4 (Page 60)2) Chinese big cities suffer from congestion due to the steadily increasing number of vehicles.3) Some complex sentences may be meaningless.4) Learners are active for they attempt to learn from their experiences.5) Some educators believe that the choice of major makes the biggest difference for students entering college, while others think differently.6) Social networking services (SNS) has changed the way people socialize.7) H irshi and Gottfredson advance the theory of “self-control” to explain people’s propensity to commit or refrain from crimes.Task 6 (Page 64)Paragraph 2 Summary: Gordon and Taylor argue that the difficulties experienced by people with writing will become easier if they learn to deal with their reactions to it appropriately.Paragraph 3 Summary: Frick argues that education has been signif icantly changed by technology at some major turning points in history.

Unit 1
Task5(page8)
1.A student and professional may spend plenty of time reporting the resuits of their research projects when they present them to teachers,managers and clients.Actually,one would be faced with many difficulties in study and on the job without the necessary research skills as well as the ability to show the results with clarity and completeness.
2.In this part the basic rule one has to follow is to offer the entire set of data relevant to the research question raised at the beginning.If one tends to hide findings which,to some extent, cannot support his hypothesis,such dishonest behavior is not welcome in research reporting in any field.
3.Little importance is attached to a lively style;however,it is acceptable to write interestingly.Th
e essential qualities for professional communication should include accuracy,clarity,and complet eness
Task4 (p26~27)
2.Tourism has been affected negatively by the rise of expense in air travel to scenic spots like Ha waii.

6.The shortage of fresh water is caused by population explosion,pollution,climate change,inade quate sewage disposal and rising sea levels.in the long run,crises,even wars,may arise as peopl e fight over the availability of fresh water supplies which are essential to them.
Task 5 (P27)
Question 2
In explaining how faculty and administrators should deal with academic dishonesty,Eastman,Iyer and Reisenwitz(2008)suggest that three aspects of academic dishonesty be taken into considera tion,including factors influencing academic dishonesty,differentiation between plagiarism and cheating,and student’s view that certain types of academic dishonesty are more unethical than others.
Question 3
Van Merrienboer(1997)points out the transition in the field of instructional design from"instruc tivist"approaches to"constructivist"approaches in the last ten years,with the former expressing t he idea that the knowledge is to represent the real world,and thus determines the meaning whic h is external to the understanders.
Question 4
Reigeluth(1999)explains the instructional design theory as at least consisting of two parts:meth ods for promoting human learning and development,and in what situations the methods can or c annot be employed.
Question 5
Heimlich(1992)makes it clear that interest in the environment,the source of both materials and refuge for the human spirit,is not a new field for it is important to the growth and development of mankind.Recently,the concern for protecting the environment shows peoplés demand for improving their life and supplementing resources.Heimlich further points out that t he difference between the decades prior to the1960s and now is much greater attention has bee n attached to the environment.
Question 6
Gredler(2001) holds that four important ingredients in teaching pigeons to play ping-pong and to bowl are associated with complex skills development in the classroom. They are bringing about response, encouraging delicate improvement, budgeting the time so that the reinforcements in responses can be increased and the reinforcers sticks to their behavior.。
