Globalization has great implications for young Chinese. For example, young farmers are moving on a large scale to urban areas to look for jobs. And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprises, English has become increasingly important. At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The Internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues,let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit 5VocabularyI.1. 1) In a way 2) in accordance with 3) vacancy 4) in good condition5) transparent 6) rub 7) spicy 8) hitherto 9) with (a) bad grace 10) instinct 11) pawned 12) current 2.1) turned up 2) will stick to 3) brought back 4)go about 5) driving at 6) put …away 7) turning …over 8) took …aback3. 1) has a very weak constitution --- she may not be able to survive the operation.2) was taken aback by the insurance company’s rejection of my compensation claim3) was something of a surprise when we ran into each other in a place like that.4) needs trimming/ to be trimmed ---it’s getting too long.5) are often deceptive4.1) Oddly en ough …went broke …wrinkled … he had gone all to pieces2) definite … is capable of …her vanity3) too mild … sipping … strokeII.

For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.

Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and to possess more. Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediatefamilies. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones.

When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us. Now as Caroline was dying for a boat ride, we decided to tour the town by boat. Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city.Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I’d like to go there again.。

In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.。

Here I would like to make three relevant points.First, wide reading should be taken as a priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most language input. Next, learning by heart as many well-writtenesssays as possible is also very important. On the one hand, rote learning / learning by rote is indeed of little help, but on the other hand, memorization / learning by heart with a good understanding will certainly be of benefit / do good to us. With an enormous store of excellent essays in our heads, we will find it much easier to express ourselves in English. Finally, it is critical that we should put what we have learned into practice.

Passing from one to the other you have to get used to many new things, not the least being the different way of learning.At school I found my timetable full throughout the day. One lesson came close on the heels of another with little time to call one's own. At university, in contrast, only a few hours of each day are taken up with classes or lectures. In the time made available you are expected to learn on your own. When and where is up to you. At the same time what you are meant to learn shifts from memorizing masses of facts to developing an ability to understand theories and present arguments. There are, of course, still facts to be learned. One should not exaggerate the differences.

The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy at night and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. Lucky enough, thanks to the severely cold weather which made the marshland freeze over, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.Unit 2 Smart CarsText A:VocabularyI.1. 1) expansion 2) automated 3) vapor 4) take control of 5) hazards 6) satellite 7) vibrated 8) magnetic9) bunched 10) in the air11) got/was stuck in 12) approximately2.1) send out 2) stand up for3) pass for 4) were closing in on5) starting up 6) went through7) fill out 8) fall into3. 1) …incorporates all the latest safety features.2) …two trees ten feet apart.3) …awarding lucrative contracts to his construction firm.4) …the prototype of a new model before they set up a factory to make the cars.5) …are correlated in all racial groups.4. 1) the application, remote, has turned into a reality, are poised to2) that vibrate, can detect, frequency23) lanes, are mounted in, alert a, hazardII.kilogram medical carememorandum electronic mailgymnasium communications satelliteliberation news broadcastdoctor sky hijackveterinarian European dollarpreparatory breakfast and lunchautomobile television broadcastinfluenza Oxford and CambridgeIII.1. swimming pool2. drawing board3. enriched Middle English4. disturbing change5. fully developed prototype6.

Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people live, travel, and do business. On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.Unit 3 Job InterviewText A:VocabularyI.1. 1) rude 2) physically 3) structure 4) made a difference 5) blurted (out) 6) chuckling 7) measurable 8) prospective9) preparations 10) sparkled11) took a crack at 12) partner2.1) go after 2) look back at/on3) be put up 4) stood for5) build in 6) follow up7) be hooked up to 8) closed up3. 1) …grilled her about where she had been all night.2) …beyond Cinderella’s wildest dreams that she could one day dance in the King’s palace.3) …will be in readers’ hands soon.4) …do your homework before going on an interview.5) …was in the neighborhood of 150 dollars.4. 1) applicants, veteran, the prospective2) From his standpoint, has made every endeavor to go after3) as the saying goes, to have a crack at, barelyII.1.behave2.keep (used to avoid repetition)3.clean4.get along5.perform/complete6.perform/complete7.study 8.be enough9.be acceptableIII.1.

He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.

Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and topossess more. Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well / good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to bephysically emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die inthe process.11。

Last Wednesday, my classmate Caroline and I visited Zhouzhuang, a well-known town looped all around by streams. When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there.

Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city.Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I e to go the’re da gliakin.。
