Obama’s Speech on American Womenpeaks and valleys 高潮和低谷upward 向上的daring 大胆的indomitable不屈不挠的ridicule 嘲笑, 奚落assumption 臆断crack 裂缝reflect on 思考statistics 统计数据victim 受害人domestic 家庭的bend 弯曲1). In Obama’s opinion, what does the story of America look like?(=The story of America is one of hope and progress, of an upward journey.)2). What is the reality of American women’s life at present?(=It is a reality marked by unfairness, by hardship for too many women.)3). What is the fundamental truth reflected by the facts and figures?(=The fundamental truth is that full gender equality has not yet been achieved.)4). Can you mention some famous women in Chinese history?(=Open-ended.)5). What is the reality of Chinese women’s life at present?(=Open-ended.)The story of America’s women, lik e the story of America itself, has had its peaks and valleys. But as one of our great American educators once said, if you drew a line through all the valleys and all the peaks, that line would be drawn with an upward curve. That upward curve –- what we call progress –- didn’t happen by accident.It came about because of daring, indomitable women. Women like Abigail Adams, who brought on the ridicule of her husband John by advising him to “remember the ladies” in our founding documents. Women like the pioneers and settlers who, in the words of one, said, “I thought where he could go, I could go.”Women like Dorothy Height and Sylvia Mendez and Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem and Sandra Day O’Connor and Madeline Albright, upending assumptions and changing laws and tearing down barriers. Women like Hillary Rodham Clinton, who, throughout her career, has put millions of cracks in America’s glass ceiling. It’s because of them –- and so many others, many who aren’t recorded in the history books –- that the story of America is, ultimately, one of hope and one of progress, of an upward journey.But even as we reflect on the hope of our history, we must also face squarely the reality of the present -– a reality marked by unfairness, marked by hardship for too many women in America. The statistics of inequality are all too familiar to us -- how women just earn 77 cents for every dollar men make; how one in four women is the victim of domestic violence at some point in her life; how women are more than half the population, but make up only 17 percent of the seats in Congress, and less than 3 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs.These, and any number of other facts and figures, reflect the fundamental truth that in 2010, full gender equality has not yet been achieved; that the task of perfecting America goes on; and that all of us, men and women, have a part to play in bending the arc in America’s story upward in the 21st century.Ⅲ. Barbie and Ken Dollsⅰ. A Brief IntroductionBarbie is a fashion doll manufactured by the American toy-company Mattel, Inc. and launched in March 1959. Ken (also known as Ken Carson) is a Mattel toy doll introduced in 1961 as the fictional boyfriend of toy doll Barbie. Similar to his female counterpart, Ken had a fashionable line of clothing and accessories.

It is estimated that over a billion Barbie dolls have been sold worldwide in over 150 countries.ⅱ.

Schwartz toy store in Manhattan also marked Barbie's 50th birthday."Growing up she was anything you wanted to be. Growing up, that was so neat to see her in so many different things. She wasn't just pretty. She is so smart that it makes me think I can do anything too, just like Barbie did.""I just think she's fun. She's a good toy for kids. There are so many different kinds of Barbies. Every type of girl you were, you could always find the Barbie that matched you."Barbie hit toy stores in 1959 as a miniature teenage fashion model, wedged into a zebra-striped bathing suit, with her strawberry blond hair tied up in a pony tail and her eyes painted with sapphire blue shadow.Over the years, Barbie has tried to ditch the blond model stereotype. She's been reinvented as a modern career woman, and has held more than 75 jobs in addition to being an Olympic athlete, an astronaut and a U.S. presidential candidate.ⅲ. A Song—Barbie GirlHi?

Mullany of Fairfield, Connecticut in 1953 when he designed a ball that curved easily for his 12-year old son.Ⅴ. Hybrid electric vehicleA hybrid vehicle combines a conventional propulsion system with a rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) to achieve better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle. Ferdinand Porsche in 1900 developed the first hybrid automobile in the world. The hybrid-electric vehicle did not become widely available until the release of the Toyota Prius in Japan in 1997, followed by the Honda Insight in 1999. While initially perceived as unnecessary due to the low cost of gasoline, worldwide increases in the price of petroleum caused many automakers to release hybrids in the late 2000s; they are now perceived as a core segment of the automotive market of the future.Global ReadingⅡ.

参考译文Unit 6 Text A卡罗琳·特克从事的职业传统上一直是男人们的天下。

在本文，她谈到自己是如何干上这一行的，并通过她的成功表明男人们能学会的事女人们也能做到。

男人学得会的，女人也学得会卡罗琳·特克我小时候卧室里的每样东西都是粉红色的。

我有两个姐妹，我们有一个一应俱全的微型厨房，一群各种颜色的小马驹，还有好几个芭比和凯恩玩具娃娃。

我们没有玩具卡车，没有玩具大兵，也没有篮球。

我们确实有一套空心棒球，但是很难在我们的游戏室找到，毕竟我们不是假小子。

正因为如此，有些人对我长大后成了一名机械工程师也许感到出乎意外。

事实上，我是我公司里唯一的一个女工程师。

为了取得大学文凭，我要上许多数学和自然科学方面的课程。

我还得和几个学生一起工作，作为参与一次全国性竞赛的一部分，把一辆耗费汽油特多的运动型多用途汽车改装成混合型电动车—就这样我学会了修车。

我可以自豪地说，我门门功课都是A，包括多变量微积分和微分方程。

我的数学和设计总是相当好，但是我不知道这些会给我带来什么样的结果。

家里要我上大学，但是没人告诉我有一天会成为一名优秀的工程师。

我上高中时对工程一无所知。

我那时不能辨别变速器和交流发电机。

我开的车需要修理，但是我不敢把车开到修理工那里，因为说实话，如果修理工给我看一把电动开罐器并对我说：“这是你的汽车部件，坏了—你付钱我给你修，”我也不会知道他在敲诈。

我在高中第三年末的时候，听说有一个暑期班，专门培养女孩对工程的兴趣。

课程六周，不用缴费，学生还可获得大学学分，还可享受马里兰大学学生宿舍一个房间。

我申请参加这个暑期班，这倒不是因为我想当工程师，而是因为我渴望独立，想离开父母的房子自己单独过上六周。

我被这个暑期班录取了，得到了六个工程学分。

第二年我上了这个大学，主修工程。

五年后我获得学位，还有三个像样的就业机会。

听到有研究表明女性学数学处于劣势，我不禁不寒而栗。

他们的言下之意是我有点反常。
