Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much horrified Aunt Susan was every day, and how much overjoyed she was to see Uncle Robert back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated byAunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced, in their daily life, giving and sharing instead of pursuing passion and romance, or making complaints. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.Theme-Related WritingDo either one of the following two tasks after class.1. Based on Text A, write a passage about the different ways different generations handle male-female relationships. The following hints may be of some help.1) “our” parents’ generation (details mainly found in Para. 8);2) “my” generation (details mainly found in Paras. 3–7);3) the younger generation (details mainly found in Paras. 9–11).2. Study the following data on love and marriage based on a survey with girl students. Write a passage on the topic “What do girl students look for in love and life?”▆ Sample Essay One:Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as they were, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.By comparison, the younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in handling the matter of love and relationships. They jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships. (196 words)▆Sample Essay Two:What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities — Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look fo r first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life?About one third of the students chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearance to be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career” was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard marriage and family life as central to a happy life.

Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook ThreeUnit Two: LovePart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇Sit in groups of threes or fours and discuss the following questions.1) Do you think love and marriage are important matters in our life? Why or why not?2) Dating and courtship is a common scene at college now. What do you think of it?3) What do you think are the most important factors that contribute to a stable love relationship? Give your reasons.▇ Answers for reference:1)Yes. It is human nature to feel attraction and affection between different sexes. A life without love is oftenregarded as imperfect. Those who are in love would long to stay together, and families resulting from love usually lay the foundation for a stable society.2)I t’s OK to start dating at college, because college students are already grown-ups in the legal sense. Noone has the right to interfere in such private matters. However, students’ top priority at college is to study and acquire knowledge and skills for their future careers. Dating and courtship will interfere with their studies. Therefore, some students tend to hold themselves back even if there are opportunities to start a romantic relationship.3)Many factors may contribute to a stable love relationship. Wealth, social status, appearances, familybackground, etc. may be considered as the external factors, which may help promote a love relationship.Wisdom, knowledge, character, personalities, etc. are the internal factors. Love based on external factors alone may not last long. Love based on the internal factors will survive whatever challenges or crises it may encounter. When two persons are in love, they should respect each other and be honest and faithful to each other. In essence, trust and understanding are the key factors that contribute to a successful love relationship.Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about love. Which quote(s) do you like best? Why?⊙The course of true love never did run smooth.—— William Shakespeare Interpretation:Shakespeare believes that a true relationship is not easy to establish. People have different personalities, concepts of value, preferences of life style, etc. When two persons of the opposite sex develop a love relationship, they have to try their best to understand each other and reconcile with each other.William ShakespeareAbout William Shakespeare:William Shakespeare (1564-616): an English writer of plays and poems, who is generally regarded as the greatest of all English writers. His many famous plays include the tragedies Romeo and Juliet (《罗密欧与朱丽叶》), Hamlet (《哈姆雷特》), Julius Caesar (《裘力斯·凯撒》), Macbeth (《麦克白》), Othello (《奥瑟罗》), and King Lear (《李尔王》); the comedies A Midsummer Night’s Dream (《仲夏夜之梦》), Twelfth Night (《第十二夜》), and As You Like It（皆大欢喜》).⊙To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.—— Bertrand Russell Interpretation:Here Russell emphasizes the importance of an active attitude towards love. We should not be afraid to fall in love just because it is not easy to find true love or just because of any possible setbacks. A life without love is as dull as a dying man because he lacks the energy and passion to enjoy life.Bertrand RussellAbout Bertrand Russell:Bertrand Russell (1872-970): a British philosopher and mathematician who developed new ideas connecting mathematics and logic. He is also known for being a pacifist (和平主义者). He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950.⊙Where does the family start? It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl — no superior alternative has yet been found.—— Sir Winston Churchill Interpretation:The quotation emphasizes that true love is the only basis upon which a happy family is built. Only when the man and the woman love each other dearly and devotedly can they endure trials and tribulations in their common effort to build up a happy family.Sir Winston ChurchillAbout Sir Winston Churchill:Sir Winston Churchill (1874-965): a British statesman, soldier, and author who was Prime Minister during most of World War II and again from 1951 to 1955. He is remembered and admired by most British people as a great leader who made poss ible Britain’s victory in the war. He is also famous for the many speeches he made during the war. In 1953 Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his writing and oratory (演讲术).⊙It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.—— Mother Teresa Interpretation:The quotation tells us the significant role that love plays in everything we do in life. Whatever we do, we should put adequate love into it so that others can feel our love and be affected by our love. What we can offer to others may be insignificant, but as long as there is love in it, the benefit will be significant. Here, love isunderstood in a broad sense.Mother TeresaAbout Mother Teresa:Mother Teresa (1910-997): an Albanian (阿尔巴尼亚) Roman Catholic nun (修女) who lived in India, where she worked to help the poor and the sick in the city of Calcutta (加尔各答). She won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1979, and people think of her as a typical example of someone who is kind, unselfish, and morally good.

Write down the main idea of each part.Paragraph(s) Main IdeaPart One 1-2 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Part Two 3-7 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Part Three 8-12 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Part Four 13-14 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________▆ Answers for Reference:Paragraph(s) Main IdeaPart One 1-2 Love is hard to define because it can only be felt but not described.Part Two 3-7 The author discusses love of different depths from her own experiences.Part Three 8-12 The two generations handle love and relationships differently. The younger generation tends to be more hasty and selfish in building relationships.Part Four 13-14 The author advises young people to learn the essence of love and find ways to develop relationships into lifelong bonds.Section B In-Depth StudyLove is an overwhelming joy that is beyond description. It is human nature to yearn for and indulge in love, but true love takes a lot of understanding, much sharing and caring, and plenty of affection. What is true love? How deep is your love? The author shares her views with the younger generation on these questions.How Deep Is Your Love?Mansi Bhatia1Love to some is like a cloudTo some as strong as steelFor some a way of livingFor some a way to feelAnd some say love is holding onAnd some say let it goAnd some say love is everythingSome say they don’t know2 At some stage or the other in our lives we experience the gnawing pangs of an emotion which defies definition. It’s a feeling that can only be felt and not described. An overwhelming joy that comes together with its share of sadness. Love.3 Given the busy nature of our live s, it’s to be appreciated that we even find the time to indulge in matters of the heart.But at the same time I wonder if we even understand its true depth. I remember having countless crushes while in school. My math teacher, our neighbour’s son, my best friend’s brother and lots of others whom I fancied for the colour of their eyes, the shape of their moustaches or just the way they walked. Harmless puppy loves that are as brief as soap bubbles. I can laugh about all those silly and adventurous thoughts and acts now but at that time nothing could be more serious an affair for me. Then came the stage of real relationships.4 Being in an all girls’ school I hardly had the opportunity to interact with members of the opposite gender. Socials between our scho ol and the boys’ college, therefore, would be awaited anxiously. Those three hours of unhesitant attention by a group of well-groomed young gentlemen provided us with enough content to talk and feel exhilarated about for the next four weeks.5 And even then there was no real need of having a boyfriend.6 I somehow grew up believing that love would happen when it had to. And sure enough it did. It came at an age when I had a career, a long-term plan and a more or less settled life (and now I am not yet 25!). I was mature enough to enter a relationship which demands a lot of give and not so much of take.7 Love was a magnificent building I built on the foundation of friendship. It took time to blossom. It took a lot of understanding, loads of sharing and caring, and plenty of affection to become what it is today. And it meant a meeting of minds. You might say that I belong to the traditional school of romance. But in my opinion, love needs to be nurtured. And it has to be distinguished from the intense but short-lived love or the pleasures of the flesh.8 Our parents’ generation was fed lavishly with ideals. It was an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. The long skirts, the quiet and unpretentious looks, the curled long hair, the calmness, the shy glance—these are all so frequently remindful of a bygone era. An age when the distance between the sexes somehow managed to help preserve the holiness of love and relationships.9 The younger generation, with its openness and fading lines of proximity, has jumped on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities. What we have been exposed to via the media have fast paced our sensibilities so much that taking things slow requires effort on our parts.10 I am amazed when I hear stories of school kids bragging about the number of physical relationships they have had. I am horrified to learn that girls barely eighteen have already been in and out of seven to eight “hook ups”.11 I am sorry to learn about the kind of emotional baggage these kids are carrying in what are purely unemotional relationships. Some might blame the current state of affairs on peer pressure. But has anyone ever stopped to figure out where this peer pressure originates? Do any of us try and understand who is responsible for this shift? Does anyone bother to study the state of mind of the teenagers?12 The mindset of this generation is all too evident in the way it handles its personal life.There are more relationships being distorted under the pressures of lust than ever before. There is more focus on physical beauty than on inner charm. There is more of closeness and less of intimacy. There is more of passion and less of emotion. There is more of acquiring and less of sharing. There is more of opportunism and less of selflessness.In short, there is more of ME and less of US.13 We have hardened ourselves so much in this competitive age that we have forgotten the essence of relationships. There’s much more to being someone’s lover than gifting them red roses and fifty-cent cards. What about gifting our object of affection, our time, our company, our support, our friendship? What about setting priorities in our lives and focusing on each with sincerity? What about trying to be self-sufficient emotionally before letting ourselves loose? What about giving ourselves, and others, time and space to forge relationships? What about working towards meaningful and lasting friendships? What about honouring our commitments? What about channeling our energies and emotions towards building lifelong bonds ratherthan wasting them on seasonal relationships?14 We have but one life and we must experience everything that can make us stronger. True love happens once in a lifetime. And we should not have become so tired by our frivolous acts that when it comes we aren’t able to receive it with open arms.▇课文参考译文你的爱有多深曼茜·巴蒂亚1 有人认为爱如浮云有人认为爱坚强如铁有人认为爱是一种生活方式有人认为爱是一种感觉有人说爱要执着有人说爱不要约束有人说爱是生命的全部有人说不知道爱为何物2 在我们生命中的某个阶段，我们会经历某种难以名状的情感所带来的阵阵折磨。

Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and encourage us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call "true and perfect friendship".Unit Two Love(1)1. curled2. minimum3. clip4. yielded 5.

Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly afterthey were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much overjoyed Aunt Susan was to see Uncle Robert come back safeand sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced giving and sharing in their daily life instead of pursuing passion and romance. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.1. Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as it was, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.By comparison, the younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in handling the matter of love andrelationships. They jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships.2.What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities — Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life? About one third of the students chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearanceto be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family.“Career” was g iven top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard upon marriage and family life as central to a happy life.Unit Three Happiness(1)1. inform2. evaluate3. attractive 4. depression5. leisure6.

Today people are much better off and enjoy more leisure. Strangely enough, they find life boring / dull.5. Life, in effect, is long but short of excitement. You are sure to suffer from inevitable disappointment if you expect everyday life to be as exciting as a drama.6. A life that is too easy / smooth may also be destructive becauseit offers no opportunity for one to learn how to deal with / handle failures / frustrations / setbacks. That / This in part explains / accounts for the high rates of suicide among young people.(2)Happiness must have much to do with money. After all, a hard life will wear out one’s sense of joy. However, happiness doesn’t derive from money alone. Today’s society as a whole has seen dramatic improvement in the standard of living, and the majority of people are decently fed and clothed. However, are people happier today? In fact, when the mass media and commercial advertisements are still reinforcing the notion that to be happy is to possess more, people find themselves longing more earnestly than ever for a happy and healthy spiritual life:being loved, respected, feeling safe and proud of realizing their self-value. As a wise man once pointed out, happiness lies in the positive attitude one holds towards life other than how much money one earns.

They find, all ofa sudden, that they can no more / longer carry on the job they have done for dozens of years. Some old people cannot adapt themselves to such a change and thus become depressed, believing that they are no longer useful. Indeed, depression has become one of the leading threats to old people’s health. Nonetheless, many old people in China are able to maintain their sense of usefulness by rendering their grown-up children services, such as taking care of their grandchildren and providing allowances to them. The question remains as to whether senior citizens should try other means to fill up their leisure, rendering their later years still more meaningful. I suggest the old concern themselves less with their children and make room for young people to take responsibility for their own lives. After all, the old deserve respect from the young and the young should tolerate their aged parents more, on the groundsthat the old have contributed so much for so many years both to their family and to society.Unit Five Education(1)1. associate 2. equipped 3. combined 4. emphasis 5. enlighten 6. phase 7. graded 8. commented 9. inspection10. passively 11. rural 12. negotiate 13. indispensable 14. illusion15. implemented 16. decline 17. reconcile 18. practically 19. residents 20. virtual(2)1. so to speak2. try out 3. in store 4. lend themselves to 5. turn my back on 6. in accordance with 7. crying out for8. is … the case9. step in 10. calm down 11. brought back12. go after 13. reflect on 14. get out of 15.

It not only generates such a new form of education as "virtual universities" but turns "lifelong learning" into a workable project. In addition, people today seem to be in favor of practical knowledge. But whatever changes there might have been, education must stick to its classic role: to enlighten learners. Confronted with the new problems of this century, we still expect that education should put more emphasis on cultivating learners' competence to think critically and to work collaboratively / with team spirit. Furthermore, we hope that education will take the responsibility of promoting traditional virtues by guiding learners to dispense with negative desires like greed, lust and violence.Unit Six Intercultural Communication(1)1. proof 2. slice 3. efficiency 4. capacity 5. abroad 6. symbol 7. invitations 8. dictate 9. proceeded 10. splashes 11. tender 12. resist 13. flavor 14. familiarity15. transmitted 16. tremendous 17. cure 18. slippery19. funeral20. transplanted (2)1. help yourself to 2. a fish out of water 3. due to4. from head to toe5. orient myself to6. as such7. on the … side8. by means of9. build up10. win … over 11.identify themselves with 12. get over 13. enter into 14. opening up15. resulted from 16. held our breath(1)1) Internet互联网2) interlock (使）连锁；（使）相互扣3) interview 面谈，面试4) interrelate （使）相互关联5) interchange 交换，互换6) intercourse交往；沟通7) interconnect互相连接8) interdependence 互相依赖9) an intercity train 城际列车10) intercontinental travel洲际旅行11) an international flight国际航班12) interpersonal relations人际关系13) intercollegiate cooperation校际合作14) an interclass football match班际足球比赛(2)1. charged 2. condemn 3. scold 4. blame 5. accused of 6. condemned 7. blames 8. criticized(3)1. boil 2. steamed 3. fried 4. bake 5. roasted 6. preserved 7.grilled 8. stew(1)1.

I believe it is polite to decline directly, while my parents seldom say “No” so as not to embarrass others.6. There are two means to build up knowledge: to get it personally or by second-hand experience. Reading, which opens up a new world of different cultures for us, belongs tosecond-hand experience.(2)Once transplanted abroad, people will feel anxious and even lose the capacity to deal with daily routines. This problem is attributed to the disappearance of the surroundings we have been used to. Then, what should we do so as to change the life styles and patterns built up in us over so many years? First, we should be more tolerant towards people with culturalbackgrounds different from ours. To get over frustrations caused by culture shock, we should try to adapt ourselves to the new environment and get along with our workmates harmoniously. Furthermore, we should never identify a person with the nationality he represents or proceed to hate the person’s culture only because we don’t like him. In fact, to preserve our national culture is not to resist foreign ones.Unit Seven The Olympic Spirit(1)1. narrowly 2. governs 3. features 4. crawl 5. spun 6. flashed 7. have witnessed 8. shedding 9. injuring 10. consultant11. compete 12. original 13. conquered 14. barrier15. confessed 16. tripped 17. limp 18. champion 19. dynamic20. version(2)1. capitalized on 2. headed for3. came in 4. rose to their feet 5. brought up 6. like crazy 7. in the name of 8. on their behalf9. fill in for10. in an emergency11. dozens of12. abide by13. is … taking shape14. contrast … with 15. bring out 16. put in / squeeze in 17. squeeze in(1)1.restless 2.homeless 3.pointless 4. countless 5.fadeless 6.harmless(2) 1.of2.to 3.in4.for5.of6.to / for7.to8.on(3)1) Events1. dash2. discus3. figure skating4. freestyle5. hurdles6. race2) Competitors1. athlete2. boxer3. contender4. cyclist5. discus thrower6. gymnast7.

Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1–2 Love is hard to define because it can only be felt but not described.Two 3–7 The author discusses love of different depths from her own experiences.Three 8–12 The two generations handle love and relationships differently. The younger generation tends to be more hasty and selfish in building relationships.Four 13–14 The author advises young people to learn the essence of love and find ways to develop relationships into lifelong bonds.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1. Given the busy nature of our lives, it’s to be ap preciated that we even find the time to indulge in matters of the heart. (Para. 3)Love is still indispensable to us, even though we are so busy pursuing material things for our everyday life. For this we shouldfeel grateful.2. The long skirts, the quiet and unpretentious looks, the curled long hair, the calmness, the shy glance —these are all so frequently remindful of a bygone era. (Para. 8)These often remind us of those days when people of our parents’ generation were courting. It was an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. But such an era is gone for ever, for young people today tend to behave differently.3. There is more of acquiring and less of sharing. (Para.12)The younger generation is more selfish: they care too much about what they can get instead of what they can share.4. There’s much more to being someone’s lover than gifting them red roses and fifty-cent cards. (Para. 13) People in a relationship need to do much more than just sending gifts to their lovers. More importantly, they should devote themselves, heart and soul, to each other.5. And we should not have become so tired by our frivolous acts that when it comes we aren’t able to receive it with open arms. (Para. 14)After repeatedly experiencing hasty, casual and insensible relationships, we have become emotionally tired and confused, so when true love comes, we are unable to respond to it with due enthusiasm, passion and devotion.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Put down the right word from Text B in the space provided according to the given definition.

Listed below are some examples. Discuss with your partner how and why the writers use such rhetorical devices. The explanation of the first one is provided.1) Harmless puppy loves that are as brief as soap bubbles. (Para. 3, Text A) Simile: “Soap bubbles” is used to emphasize the brief period of time that puppy loves last.2) Love was a magnificent building I built on the foundation of friendship. It took time to blossom. (Para. 7, Text A) Metaphor: “Magnificent building” is used to imply that love should be developed in the same way as we build or construct a building and that, like a building, love should be based on something. “T o blossom” is also a metaphor, which implies that love can be as beautiful as a flower but it takes time to have it develop or grow.3) Our parents’ generation was fed lavishly with ideals. (Para. 8, Text A) Metaphor: Here “(be) fed (with)” is used metaphorically, meaning that, people of her parents’ generation were taught to pursue love and relationships strictly according to the “ideals” of the time, these ideals nourishing their mental needs much as food does the body.4) I am sorry to learn about the kind of emotional baggage school kids are carrying in what are purely unemotional relationships. (Para. 10, Text A) Metaphor: “Baggage” is used to indicate the heavy burden that school children have to should er when they pursue “purely unemotional relationships.”5) What about giving ourselves, and others, time and space to forge relationships? (Para. 12, Text A)Metaphor: “To forge” implies that relationships are like iron and require plenty of tempering before they become as solid and strong as steel.6) For seven-and-a-half months, my grief for my husband had been frozen within me like an icy presence that would not yield. (Para. 12, Text B) Simile: “Frozen” and “icy presence” are used to imply that dur ing the seven-and-a-half months after her husband died, the author had managed to bury the grief for her husband deep down in her heart as if it had turned into something like ice.7) Then, this last Sunday of February, I was undone by the simple presence of emery boards. (Para. 12, Text B)Metaphor: “Was undone” emphasizes the sudden release or outbreak of her grief, as if a knot came loose or untied unexpectedly.Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook ThreeUnit Two: LovePart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇Sit in groups of threes or fours and discuss the following questions.1) Do you think love and marriage are important matters in our life? Why or why not?2) Dating and courtship is a common scene at college now. What do you think of it?3) What do you think are the most important factors that contribute to a stable love relationship? Give your reasons.▇ Answers for reference:1)Yes. It is human nature to feel attraction and affection between different sexes. A life without love is oftenregarded as imperfect. Those who are in love would long to stay together, and families resulting from love usually lay the foundation for a stable society.2)I t’s OK to start dating at college, because college students are already grown-ups in the legal sense. Noone has the right to interfere in such private matters. However, students’ top priority at college is to study and acquire knowledge and skills for their future careers. Dating and courtship will interfere with their studies. Therefore, some students tend to hold themselves back even if there are opportunities to start a romantic relationship.3)Many factors may contribute to a stable love relationship. Wealth, social status, appearances, familybackground, etc. may be considered as the external factors, which may help promote a love relationship.Wisdom, knowledge, character, personalities, etc. are the internal factors. Love based on external factors alone may not last long. Love based on the internal factors will survive whatever challenges or crises it may encounter. When two persons are in love, they should respect each other and be honest and faithful to each other. In essence, trust and understanding are the key factors that contribute to a successful love relationship.Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about love. Which quote(s) do you like best? Why?⊙The course of true love never did run smooth.—— William Shakespeare Interpretation:Shakespeare believes that a true relationship is not easy to establish. People have different personalities, concepts of value, preferences of life style, etc. When two persons of the opposite sex develop a love relationship, they have to try their best to understand each other and reconcile with each other.William ShakespeareAbout William Shakespeare:William Shakespeare (1564-616): an English writer of plays and poems, who is generally regarded as the greatest of all English writers. His many famous plays include the tragedies Romeo and Juliet (《罗密欧与朱丽叶》), Hamlet (《哈姆雷特》), Julius Caesar (《裘力斯·凯撒》), Macbeth (《麦克白》), Othello (《奥瑟罗》), and King Lear (《李尔王》); the comedies A Midsummer Night’s Dream (《仲夏夜之梦》), Twelfth Night (《第十二夜》), and As You Like It（皆大欢喜》).⊙To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.—— Bertrand Russell Interpretation:Here Russell emphasizes the importance of an active attitude towards love. We should not be afraid to fall in love just because it is not easy to find true love or just because of any possible setbacks. A life without love is as dull as a dying man because he lacks the energy and passion to enjoy life.Bertrand RussellAbout Bertrand Russell:Bertrand Russell (1872-970): a British philosopher and mathematician who developed new ideas connecting mathematics and logic. He is also known for being a pacifist (和平主义者). He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950.⊙Where does the family start? It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl — no superior alternative has yet been found.—— Sir Winston Churchill Interpretation:The quotation emphasizes that true love is the only basis upon which a happy family is built. Only when the man and the woman love each other dearly and devotedly can they endure trials and tribulations in their common effort to build up a happy family.Sir Winston ChurchillAbout Sir Winston Churchill:Sir Winston Churchill (1874-965): a British statesman, soldier, and author who was Prime Minister during most of World War II and again from 1951 to 1955. He is remembered and admired by most British people as a great leader who made possible Britain’s victory in the war. He is also famous for the many speeches he made during the war. In 1953 Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his writing and oratory (演讲术).⊙It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.—— Mother Teresa Interpretation:The quotation tells us the significant role that love plays in everything we do in life. Whatever we do, we should put adequate love into it so that others can feel our love and be affected by our love. What we can offer to others may be insignificant, but as long as there is love in it, the benefit will be significant. Here, love isunderstood in a broad sense.Mother TeresaAbout Mother Teresa:Mother Teresa (1910-997): an Albanian (阿尔巴尼亚) Roman Catholic nun (修女) who lived in India, where she worked to help the poor and the sick in the city of Calcutta (加尔各答). She won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1979, and people think of her as a typical example of someone who is kind, unselfish, and morally good. Section C Watching and Discussion▇He's Just Not That Into You is a 2009 romantic comedy film about how nine people in Baltimore deal with their romantic problems.

See, you can’t keep being nice to me and I can’t keep pretending like this is something that it’s not.We’ve been t ogether over seven years. You know me. You know who I am.

You know me. You know who I am. You either wanna marry me or you don’t.NEIL: Or there is the possibility that I mean it when I say I don’t believe in marriage.BETH: Bullshit! Bullshit! Come on! Bullshit for every woman that has been told by some man that he doesn’t believe in marriage and then six months later, he’s married to some twenty-four-year-old that he met at the gym. It’s just —it’s Bullshit.(Beth tries to hold back her tears. Neil looks stunned and goes to her.)NEIL: Where is this coming from?BETH: It’s coming f rom the place that I have been hiding from you for about five years. About five years because I haven’t wanted to seem demanding, and I haven’t wanted to seem clingy or psycho orwhatever. So I have never asked you. But I — but I — I have to.

The younger generation tends to be more hasty and selfish in building relationships.Part Four 13-14 The author advises young people to learn the essence of love and find ways to develop relationships into lifelong bonds.Section B In-Depth StudyLove is an overwhelming joy that is beyond description. It is human nature to yearn for and indulge in love, but true love takes a lot of understanding, much sharing and caring, and plenty of affection. What is true love? How deep is your love? The author shares her views with the younger generation on these questions.How Deep Is Your Love?Mansi Bhatia1Love to some is like a cloudTo some as strong as steelFor some a way of livingFor some a way to feelAnd some say love is holding onAnd some say let it goAnd some say love is everythingSome say they don’t know2 At some stage or the other in our lives we experience the gnawing pangs of an emotion which defies definition. It’s a feeling that can only be felt and not described. An overwhelming joy that comes together with its share of sadness. Love.3 Given the busy nature of our lives, it’s to be appreciated that we even find the time to ind ulge in matters of the heart.But at the same time I wonder if we even understand its true depth. I remember having countless crushes while in school. My math teacher, our neighbour’s son, my best friend’s brother and lots of others whom I fancied for the colour of their eyes, the shape of their moustaches or just the way they walked. Harmless puppy loves that are as brief as soap bubbles. I can laugh about all those silly and adventurous thoughts and acts now but at that time nothing could be more serious an affair for me. Then came the stage of real relationships.4 Being in an all girls’ school I hardly had the opportunity to interact with members of the opposite gender. Socials between our school and the boys’ college, therefore, would be awaited anxio usly. Those three hours of unhesitant attention by a group of well-groomed young gentlemen provided us with enough content to talk and feel exhilarated about for the next four weeks.5 And even then there was no real need of having a boyfriend.6 I somehow grew up believing that love would happen when it had to. And sure enough it did. It came at an age when I had a career, a long-term plan and a more or less settled life (and now I am not yet 25!). I was mature enough to enter a relationship which demands a lot of give and not so much of take.7 Love was a magnificent building I built on the foundation of friendship. It took time to blossom. It took a lot of understanding, loads of sharing and caring, and plenty of affection to become what it is today. And it meant a meeting of minds. You might say that I belong to the traditional school of romance. But in my opinion, love needs to be nurtured. And it has to be distinguished from the intense but short-lived love or the pleasures of the flesh.8 Our p arents’ generation was fed lavishly with ideals. It was an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. The long skirts, the quiet and unpretentious looks, the curled long hair, the calmness, the shy glance—these are all so frequently remindful of a bygone era. An age when the distance between the sexes somehow managed to help preserve the holiness of love and relationships.9 The younger generation, with its openness and fading lines of proximity, has jumped on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities. What we have been exposed to via the media have fast paced our sensibilities so much that taking things slow requires effort on our parts.10 I am amazed when I hear stories of school kids bragging about the number of physical relationships they have had. I am horrified to learn that girls barely eighteen have already been in and out of seven to eight “hook ups”.11 I am sorry to learn about the kind of emotional baggage these kids are carrying in what are purely unemotional relationships. Some might blame the current state of affairs on peer pressure. But has anyone ever stopped to figure out where this peer pressure originates? Do any of us try and understand who is responsible for this shift? Does anyone bother to study the state of mind of the teenagers?12 The mindset of this generation is all too evident in the way it handles its personal life.There are more relationships being distorted under the pressures of lust than ever before. There is more focus on physical beauty than on inner charm. There is more of closeness and less of intimacy. There is more of passion and less of emotion. There is more of acquiring and less of sharing. There is more of opportunism and less of selflessness.In short, there is more of ME and less of US.13 We have hardened ourselves so much in this competitive age that we have forgotten the essence of relationships. There’s much more to being someone’s lover than gifting them red roses and fifty-cent cards. What about gifting our object of affection, our time, our company, our support, our friendship? What about setting priorities in our lives and focusing on each with sincerity? What about trying to be self-sufficient emotionally before letting ourselves loose? What about giving ourselves, and others, time and space to forge relationships? What about working towards meaningful and lasting friendships? What about honouring our commitments? What about channeling our energies and emotions towards building lifelong bonds ratherthan wasting them on seasonal relationships?14 We have but one life and we must experience everything that can make us stronger. True love happens once in a lifetime. And we should not have become so tired by our frivolous acts that when it comes we aren’t able to receive it with open arms.▇课文参考译文你的爱有多深曼茜·巴蒂亚1 有人认为爱如浮云有人认为爱坚强如铁有人认为爱是一种生活方式有人认为爱是一种感觉有人说爱要执着有人说爱不要约束有人说爱是生命的全部有人说不知道爱为何物2 在我们生命中的某个阶段，我们会经历某种难以名状的情感所带来的阵阵折磨。

After dinner, we all sat around the hearth. Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much overjoyed Aunt Susan was to see Uncle Robert come back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced giving and sharing in their daily life instead of pursuing passion and roman, amazingly, such love lasted trough their whole life.。

Translate the following paragraph into English, using the words and expressions in the box below.▇Answers for reference:A gold medal is a tribute to the athletic talent, determination and courage of an Olympic champion. Then how do the athletes make themselves fortunate enough to be so highly honored? The champions who have mounted the winners’ stand can offer an answer based on their own experiences. First, in the course of training, they visualize themselves as champions. Once their dreams of becoming champions take shape, they will cling to them courageously. What’s more, top performers are driven to bring out their best. They discipline themselves and s queeze in every possible minute to practice every day. Despite their relentless efforts, they may sometimes fail to win or narrowly miss a gold medal, yet they believe in themselves and never lose heart. They are ready to take on the most psychologically and technically challenging tasks or competitions. In reality, all champions have experienced lots of hardships on their way to the vital break of their lifetime. So we won’t and can’t say that a champion is lucky. After all, luck only strikes those prepared to capitalize on it.Theme-Related Writing1. Write an essay about your favorite sports team. The following hints may be of some help.1) What is your favorite sports team?2) Why do you like it so much?3) Do you always support the team?▇Sample essay 1:My favorite Sport Team: the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team In quite a few sports, Chinese women athletes outshine men athletes. As a girl, I always feel proud of our women table tennis players, badminton players, women divers and gymnasts. But my greatest enthusiasm always goes to the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team, who, though it has undergone some ups and downs, always presents a positive, inspiring image to the public.I’ve never missed any major TV coverage of the Chinese women’s team. I can’t help getting excited watching the girls shine in court, with their amazing spikes and blocks, and their never-ceasing courage and faith in winning the match. There are times when they lose the game, sometimes with embarrassing result like 0:3; there are years when they suffer a lot of injuries and new players do not match up to the veterans, yet, one must admit that the Chinese girls have been practising very hard all the way.Recent years have witnessed a difficult period for the team as Russian, American, Cuban, and Brazilian teams have been rising in ranking and winning championships, but I still have faith in our team and give them my support. I wish them good luck in the coming Olympics.(196 words)2. W rite an essay entitled “The Meaning of Winning a Prize”. You may base your writing on what you have learnt from the two texts. The following hints may be of some help.1) What is a prize?2) What does a prize bring about?3) What is the fundamental meaning of wining prizes?▇Sample essay 2:In today’s society, competitions, contests and games are held virtually every day and everywhere. These activities put the participants into two categories: winners and losers. As symbols of public recognition, prizes are awarded to those who mount the winners’ stand.A prize brings about fame, prestige and good fortune. Winners are constantly in the spotlight and attract admiring attention. Their friends and colleagues come to congratulate them and their families take pride in them. More often than not, prizes simultaneously bring wealth to the winners as in the case of an Olympic gold medal or a Nobel Prize. Therefore, winners harvest both a good reputation and material rewards.However, this is not the essential meaning of wining a prize. Winners are worthy of respect, admiration and good fortune because they embody some outstanding qualities that are worthy of a prize: perseverance, diligence and optimism. An athlete undergoes years of training and takes hundreds of highly demanding challenges before he steps onto that podium; a writer becomes popular overnight after he has spent years writing relentlessly in poverty and anonymity. What’s more, optimism in the face of adversity also contributes a lot to their success. They believe in themselves and have great passion for what they are engaged in. They endeavor to do their best, enjoying the process of fighting well. Therefore, the fundamental meaning of winning a prize does not merely lie in the rewarding fame or wealth, but in the process of presenting the best part of oneself.(249 words)。

Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook ThreeUnit Two: LovePart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇ Sit in groups of threes or fours and discuss the following questions.1) Do you think love and marriage are important matters in our life? Why or why not?2) Dating and courtship is a common scene at college now. What do you think of it?3) What do you think are the most important factors that contribute to a stable loverelationship? Give your reasons.▇ Answers for reference:1)Yes. It is human nature to feel attraction and affection between different sexes. Alife without love is often regarded as imperfect. Those who are in love would long to stay together, and families resulting from love usually lay the foundation for a stable society.2)I t’s OK to start dating at college, because college students are already grown-upsin the legal sense. No one has the right to interfere in such private matters.However, students’top priority at college is to study and acquire knowledge and skills for their future careers. Dating and courtship will interfere with their studies. Therefore, some students tend to hold themselves back even if there are opportunities to start a romantic relationship.3)Many factors may contribute to a stable love relationship. Wealth, social status,appearances, family background, etc. may be considered as the external factors, which may help promote a love relationship. Wisdom, knowledge, character, personalities, etc. are the internal factors. Love based on external factors alone may not last long.Love based on the internal factors will survive whatever challenges or crises it may encounter. When two persons are in love, they should respect each other and be honest and faithful to each other. In essence, trust and understanding are the key factors that contribute to a successful love relationship.Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about love. Which quote(s) do you like best? Why?⊙The course of true love never did run smooth.—— William Shakespeare Interpretation:Shakespeare believes that a true relationship is not easy to establish. People have different personalities, concepts of value, preferences of life style, etc. When two persons of the opposite sex develop a love relationship, they have to try their best to understand each other and reconcile with each other.William ShakespeareAbout William Shakespeare:William Shakespeare (1564-616): an English writer of plays and poems, who is generally regarded as the greatest of all English writers. His many famous plays include the tragedies Romeo and Juliet (《罗密欧与朱丽叶》), Hamlet (《哈姆雷特》), Julius Caesar (《裘力斯·凯撒》), Macbeth (《麦克白》), Othello (《奥瑟罗》), and King Lear (《李尔王》); the comedies A Midsummer Night’s Dream (《仲夏夜之梦》), Twelfth Night (《第十二夜》), and As You Like It（皆大欢喜》).⊙To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.—— Bertrand Russell Interpretation:Here Russell emphasizes the importance of an active attitude towards love. We should not be afraid to fall in love just because it is not easy to find true love or just because of any possible setbacks. A life without love is as dull as a dying man because he lacks the energy and passion to enjoy life.Bertrand RussellAbout Bertrand Russell:Bertrand Russell (1872-970): a British philosopher and mathematician who developed new ideas connecting mathematics and logic. He is also known for being a pacifist (和平主义者). He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950.⊙Where does the family start? It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl —no superior alternative has yet been found.—— Sir Winston ChurchillInterpretation:The quotation emphasizes that true love is the only basis upon which a happy family is built. Only when the man and the woman love each other dearly and devotedly can they endure trials and tribulations in their common effort to build up a happy family.Sir Winston ChurchillAbout Sir Winston Churchill:Sir Winston Churchill (1874-965): a British statesman, soldier, and author who was Prime Minister during most of World War II and again from 1951 to 1955. He is remembered and admired by most British people as a great leader who made pos sible Britain’s victory in the war. He is also famous for the many speeches he made during the war. In 1953 Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his writing and oratory (演讲术).⊙It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.—— Mother Teresa Interpretation:The quotation tells us the significant role that love plays in everything we do in life. Whatever we do, we should put adequate love into it so that others can feel our love and be affected by our love. What we can offer to others may be insignificant, but as long as there is love in it, the benefit will be significant. Here, love is understood in a broad sense.Mother TeresaAbout Mother Teresa:Mother Teresa (1910-997): an Albanian (阿尔巴尼亚) Roman Catholic nun (修女) who lived in India, where she worked to help the poor and the sick in the city of Calcutta (加尔各答). She won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1979, and people think of her as a typical example of someone who is kind, unselfish, and morally good.Section C Watching and Discussion▇He's Just Not That Into You is a 2009 romantic comedy film about how nine people in Baltimore deal with their romantic problems.

We’ve been together for over seven years. You know me. You know who I am.

Bullshit for every woman that has been told by some man that he doesn’t believe in marriage and then six months later, he’s married to some twenty-four-year-old that he met at the gym. It’s just —it’s Bullshit.(Beth tries to hold back her tears. Neil looks stunned and goes to her.)NEIL: Where is this coming from?BETH: It’s coming f rom the place that I have been hiding from you for about five years.About five years because I haven’t wanted to seem demanding, and I haven’t wanted to seem clingy or psycho or whatever.

The younger generation tends to bemore hasty and selfish in building relationships.Part Four 13-14 The author advises young people to learn the essence of love and find ways to develop relationships into lifelong bonds.Section B In-Depth StudyLove is an overwhelming joy that is beyond description. It is human nature to yearn for and indulge in love, but true love takes a lot of understanding, much sharing and caring, and plenty of affection. What is true love? How deep is your love? The author shares her views with the younger generation on these questions.How Deep Is Your Love?Mansi Bhatia1Love to some is like a cloudTo some as strong as steelFor some a way of livingFor some a way to feelAnd some say love is holding onAnd some say let it goAnd some say love is everything Some say they don’t know2 At some stage or the other in our lives we experience the gnawing pangs of an emotion which defies definition. It’s a feeling that can only be felt and not described. An overwhelming joy that comes together with its share of sadness. Love.3 Given the busy nature of our liv es, it’s to be appreciated that we even find the time to indulge in matters of the heart.But at the same time I wonder if we even understand its true depth. I remember having countless crushes while in school. My math teacher, our neighbour’s son, my best friend’s brother and lots of others whom I fancied for the colour of their eyes, the shape of their moustaches or just the way they walked. Harmless puppy loves that are as brief as soap bubbles. I can laugh about all those silly and adventurous thoughts and acts now but at that time nothing could be more serious an affair for me. Then came the stage of real relationships.4 Being in an all girls’ school I hardly had the opportunity to interact with members of the opposite gender. Socials between our sch ool and the boys’ college, therefore, would be awaited anxiously. Those three hours of unhesitant attention by a group of well-groomed young gentlemen provided us with enough content to talk and feel exhilarated about for the next four weeks.5 And even then there was no real need of having a boyfriend.6 I somehow grew up believing that love would happen when it had to. And sure enough it did. It came at an age when I had a career, a long-term plan and a more or less settled life (and now I am not yet 25!). I was mature enough to enter a relationship which demands a lot of give and not so much of take.7 Love was a magnificent building I built on the foundation of friendship. It took time to blossom. It took a lot of understanding, loads of sharing and caring, and plenty of affection to become what it is today. And it meant a meeting of minds. You might say that I belong to the traditional school of romance. But in my opinion, love needs to be nurtured. And it has to be distinguished from the intense but short-lived love or the pleasures of the flesh.8 Our parents’ generation was fed lavishly with ideals. It was an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. The long skirts, the quiet and unpretentious looks, the curled long hair, the calmness, the shy glance—these are all so frequently remindful of a bygone era. An age when the distance between the sexes somehow managed to help preserve the holiness of love and relationships.9 The younger generation, with its openness and fading lines of proximity, has jumped on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities. What we have been exposed to via the media have fast paced our sensibilities so much that taking things slow requires effort on our parts.10 I am amazed when I hear stories of school kids bragging about the number of physical relationships they have had. I am horrified to learn that girls barely eighteen have already been in and out of seven to eight “hook ups”.11 I am sorry to learn about the kind of emotional baggage these kids are carrying in what are purely unemotional relationships. Some might blame the current state of affairs on peer pressure. But has anyone ever stopped to figure out where this peer pressureoriginates? Do any of us try and understand who is responsible for this shift? Does anyone bother to study the state of mind of the teenagers?12 The mindset of this generation is all too evident in the way it handles its personal life.There are more relationships being distorted under the pressures of lust than ever before. There is more focus on physical beauty than on inner charm. There is more of closeness and less of intimacy. There is more of passion and less of emotion. There is more of acquiring and less of sharing. There is more of opportunism and less of selflessness.In short, there is more of ME and less of US.13 We have hardened ourselves so much in this competitive age that we have forgotten the essence of relationships. There’s much more to being someone’s lover than gifting them red roses and fifty-cent cards. What about gifting our object of affection, our time, our company, our support, our friendship? What about setting priorities in our lives and focusing on each with sincerity? What about trying to be self-sufficient emotionally before letting ourselves loose? What about giving ourselves, and others, time and space to forge relationships? What about working towards meaningful and lasting friendships? What about honouring our commitments? What about channeling our energies and emotions towards building lifelong bonds rather than wasting them on seasonal relationships?14 We have but one life and we must experience everything that can make us stronger. True love happens once in a lifetime.

Bonded together in a community, we naturally expect to have friends. As to what friendship is, people have different notions / ideas. Some make friends for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. However, a lot more people long for "soul pals"— those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and encourage us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call "true and perfect friendship".1. Bob and I became brother-like friends in our childhood. We played, dined and discussed our ambitions together. Once grown up, he started for the West to make his fortune while I became a policeman in New York. Before his departure, we had dinner together and we agreed that we would meet at the same place exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have tocome.Then came the day we were supposed to meet. I was on my beat then. Walking up to the appointed place which had been turned into a hardware store, I saw a man standing there with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. Before I could speak, he told me that he was waiting for a friend by the name of Jimmy Wells. When he struck a match to light his cigar, I saw a pale face with keen eyes and a scar. I recognized him immediately. It was Bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the Chicago Police.For a moment I felt like telling him to escape right away. After all, we had been friends for so many years and he had traveled all the way to see me! But then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do. I said good-bye to him and continued my patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear: “I’ll wait for half an hour. Jimmy will keep his promise if he’s alive…” I then sent fora plain clothes man and had Bob arrested.2.An Important Friend in My LifeLi Qiang, one of my classmates, is fun to be with. He is always wearing a broad smile as if life is forever "sunshine and butterflies". One day, I revealed to him my worries andanxieties:I, an ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall, even taller than any of the boys in my class. I thought no boy would like to date me. Besides, I was very poor at my academic courses.He suggested that I should learn to be myself and then he introduced me to a fashion show team of the university. Encouraged, I decided to change myself. After a 3-month training program on weekends, I could perform beautifully as a model, and surprisingly, I could concentrate on the required academic courses as well. The applauses I won at each fashion show and the scholarship I earned proved that being myself was terrific. Since then, my life has changed a lot. Thus, Li Qiang became an important friend of mine.Last semester, we began to help young people who suffer pressures from physical defects, academic failures or financial problems. We set up a Confidence Club. Those who come to us for help find our work definitely beneficial. Our friendship has led me into a sparkling, rewarding life.Unit Two Love(1)1. curled2. minimum3. clip4. yielded5.

Love takes time, for it is not forged until you have grown usedto the other’s company and learned to appreciate the other. (2)After dinner, we all sat around the hearth. Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly afterthey were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much overjoyed Aunt Susan was to see Uncle Robert come back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced giving and sharing in their daily life instead of pursuing passion and romance. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.1. Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order topreserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as it was, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.By comparison, the younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in handling the matter of love and relationships. They jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships.2.What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities — Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey soughtanswers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life? About one third of the students chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearanceto be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family.“Career” was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard upon marriage and family life as central to a happy life.Unit Three Happiness (1)1. inform2. evaluate3. attractive4. depression5. leisure6.

You shouldn’t always make comparison with others; otherwise,you may be trapped in / fall into depression, for there are always many others who are better than you.4. Today people are much better off and enjoy more leisure. Strangely enough, they find life boring / dull.5. Life, in effect, is long but short of excitement.

A life that is too easy / smooth may also be destructivebecauseit offers no opportunity for one to learn how to deal with / handle failures / frustrations / setbacks. That / This in part explains / accounts for the high rates of suicide among young people.(2)Happiness must have much to do with money. After all, a hard life will wear out one’s sense of joy. However, happiness doesn’t derive from money alone. Today’s society as a whole has seen dramatic improvement in the standard of living, and the majority of people are decently fed and clothed. However, are people happier today? In fact, when the mass media and commercial advertisements are still reinforcing the notion that to be happy is to possess more, people find themselves longing more earnestly than ever for a happy and healthy spiritual life: being loved, respected, feeling safe and proud of realizing their self-value. As a wise man once pointed out, happiness lies in the positive attitude one holds towards life other than how much money one earns. Those millionaires who view life as boring and empty serve as good negative examples.1. Man Does Not Live by Bread AloneNo one would doubt the truth that man’s existence reliesessentially on material things. We need them to get fed, clothed and sheltered. Once we are living near the breadline, we’ll feel frustrated and miserable.However, our contentment does not merely lie in material things.This is especially the case in modern times. The fast-developing economy has noticeably improved our lives and fulfilled most of our material needs. Then there comes the need of spiritual satisfaction, which is derived from good health, close friends, a loving spouse, well-raised children, a home built on love, a clear conscience, a worthy goal and an enjoyable job. While material things may lose their charm over time, spiritual satisfaction will bring us lasting happiness.Therefore, to live a happy life, we should focus more on those things that meet our spiritual demands. After all, when our need for bread is met, happiness will not come unless we feel spiritually satisfied.2. I Really Made ItI will never forget the awful feeling in my first Oral English class at college. I tried hard to listen to every word the teacher spoke, but what she was saying made no sense to me. Bitterly, I admitted that I was so poor at listening and speaking in English.I wept several times, cursing my middle school for failing to provide adequate listening and speaking practice. But finally I calmed down because the familiar words rang in my ears: There must be a way out. I had a rather solid foundation of English vocabulary and grammar. What was left for me to do was to increase my listening input and speaking output. I made it a rule that every morning I would do reading aloud by the campus lake for 40 minutes, and every evening I would stay in the language lab, listening to English for at least an hour.Then at the end of the second year came my happiest moment: I got the Scholarship for Academic Excellence. I wore a broad smile when the president granted me the award. I then came to realize that happiness can only be gained through hard work.Unit Four Health(1)1. indifferent2. prejudice3. appealing4. rendered5. threats6. respect7. isolate8. sucked9. infected10. ignorance11. namely12. probable13. reluctantly14. applause15. wept16. issued17. shelter18. contracted19. cheated20. tolerated(2)1. guard against2. concern yourself with3. make room for4. bring … to an end5. in the hope of6. on the ground(s) that7. at risk8. set aside9.

They fi nd, all of a sudden, that they can no more / longer carry on the job they havedone for dozens of years. Some old people cannot adapt themselves to such a change and thus become depressed, believing that they are no longer useful. Indeed, depression has become one of the leading threats to old people’s health. Nonetheless, many old people in China are able to maintain their sense of usefulness by rendering their grown-up children services, such as taking care of their grandchildren and providing allowances to them. The question remains as to whether senior citizens should try other means to fill up their leisure, rendering their later years still more meaningful. I suggest the old concern themselves less with their children and make room for young people to take responsibility for their own lives. After all, the old deserve respect from the young and theyoung should tolerate their aged parents more, on the grounds that the old have contributed so much for so many years both to their family and to society.1. AIDS Across the EarthAIDS has killed and is threatening to kill millions all across the earth. Several million infections are reported by WHO each year.The virus does not care whether you are black or white, male or female, young or old. It will attack you as long as you are a human. Today, AIDS has become the leading killer of young adults and is turning the children whose parents suffer the disease into orphans. It is no exaggeration to say that we live under the shadow of AIDS.There are several possible causes for such a situation: unsafe sexual intercourse; sharing or reusing contaminated needles; transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products; an infected person’s pregnancy, giving birth and breastfeeding, etc. Unfortunately, our ignorance, prejudice and silence have carried the situation to a desperate extreme. Patients are isolated or treated as outcasts by their families and their communities. AIDS victims feel ashamed to be identified as such and try hard to hide their disease. For this reason, they cannot get immediatemedical treatment. Our harmful attitudes towards the disease and its victims have actually placed more people at risk.In our fight against this deadly disease, we should educate people on how to avoid being infected with the disease and how to lead a healthy and secure life and, more importantly, how to treat AIDS patients properly. Only in this way can we really bring AIDS under control.2. Why Do the Young Adults Kill Themselves?Young adults are in the prime of their lives and are supposed to pursue their dreams and enjoy themselves. Yet it was reported in the Guardian that suicide is the main cause of death among young adults in China. Why have so many young people ended their lives?Three factors are thought to account for the high suicide rate: increasing stress, loneliness and a lack of medical support for depression. The most pressing one, I think, is stress. Take my college life for example. From the first day I entered the university, I have been living under pressure. I used to worry that I could not quite fit into the campus life; I also feared that I might not catch up with my classmates in my studies or could not live up to my parents’ expectations. Now I am deeply concerned about whether I can find a desirable job aftergraduation. Endless pressures give rise to stress. Loneliness is another problem. Many young people find they just feel helpless when they are suffering intolerable sadness or frustration.Suicide is a great tragedy, especially for the young. If we can find ways to relieve them of their stress and offer timely help, we may save many young lives.Unit Five Education(1)1. associate2. equipped3. combined4. emphasis5. enlighten6. phase7. graded8. commented9. inspection10. passively11. rural12. negotiate13. indispensable14. illusion15. implemented16. decline17. reconcile18. practically19. residents20. virtual(2)1. so to speak2. try out3. in store4. lend themselves to5. turn my back on6. in accordance with7. crying out for8. is … the case9. step in10. calm down11. brought back12. go after13. reflect on14. get out of15.
