The term "quality of life" is difficult to define. It covers a very wide scope such as living env ironment, health, employment, food, family life, friends, education, material possessions, leisure a nd recreation, and so on. Generally speaking, the quality of life, especially as seen by the individua l, is meaningful in terms of the degree to which these various areas of life are available or provid e satisfaction to the individual."生活质量"这个词不好下定义。

Unit 7 Inner VoiceA Famous Quote:Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything.- Henry Franklin WinklerHenry Franklin Winkler (1945- ), American actor, director, producer and author. He has directed and produced several award-winning television series.Text A Your Inner VoicePre-reading Questions:1. Do you believe that your inner voice will always lead you down the right path?2. Have you ever been in a situation in which your inner voice urged you to takeaction?My day started just like all the other days for the past 15 years where I get up, make some coffee, shower, get dressed and leave for the train station at precisely 7:35 A.M. to arrive at work by 8:30. While on the train I would always choose a seat away from the crowd so I can read the newspaper in peace and quiet. At work I am always being bombarded with questions from coworker, suppliers, the telephone and then those dreaded meeting, so the last thing I need is some stranger to sit beside me and make small talk.I don’t know why but for some reason when I got on the train that day it was unusually full, something I don’t recall ever happening in the past. With hesitation I sat down in the only seat available beside a middle-aged man who had his head down and seemed to be lost in his thoughts. I was glad that he didn’t notice when I sat next to him as he just continued to look down towards the floor.Shortly after the train left for my 30-minute ride downtown I found myself wondering what this man was thinking about. What could be so important that he didn’t even see me sit next to him? I tried to forget about it and started to read my paper. However, for some strange reason this inner voice kept prompting me to talk to this man. I tried to ignore the voice, as there was no way I was starting a conversation with a complete stranger.As you probably guessed, I eventually broke down and came up with anexcuse to ask him a question. When he raised his head and turned his eyes towards me I could see that he must have been really upset as he had red eyes and still had some tears rolling down the side of his face despite his feeble attempt to wipe them away. I can’t describe the sadness I felt seeing someone in so much pain.We talked for about 20 minutes and in the end he seemed to be doing better. As we were leaving the train he thanked me profusely for being and angel taking the time to talk. I never did find out what was making his heart so heavy with pain but was glad I listen to the voice that day.Several weeks had passed when I noticed envelope on my desk after returning from lunch. It was not addressed to anyone and only had the word angel written on it. My receptionist attached a note saying a gentleman dropped it off saying he did not know my name but had described me well enough that the receptionist knew it was for me. When I read note inside the envelope I was so filled with emotions that I couldn’t contain myself. It was a letter from the man I met on the train thanking me again for talking to him and saving his life that day.Apparently he had some very hurtful personal problems that were so overwhelming that he was planning to take his own life that day. In his letter he went to explain that he was a religious person and in desperation screamed out to God that if God really cared about him he would send someone to prevent him from taking his own life. In his eyes I was that someone, that Angel sent by God.Not being a religious person myself, I don’t know what that voice was that made me take a chance and talk to a stranger, but I do know that it make a difference in someone’s life that day. So the next time you feel prompted for no apparent reason to talk to a friend, relative, neighbor or even a complete stranger please remember my story. You just may make a difference in someone’s life when you listen to your inner voice.Text B Make a Good First ImpressionPre-reading Questions:1.2.3. What do you think a smile indicates?5. What can a person do to make a good first impression?At a dinner party in New York, one of the guests, a woman who had inherited money, was eager to make a pleasing impression on everyone. She had squandered a modest fortune on sables, diamonds and pearls. But she hadn’t done anything whatsoever about her face. It radiated sourness and selfishness. Sh e didn’t realize what everyone knows: namely, the impression one wears on one’s face is far more important than the clothes one wears on one’s back.Actions speak louder than word s, and a smile says, “I like you. You make me happy, I am glad to see you.” That is why dogs make such a hit. They are so glad to see us that they almost jump out of their skins. So, naturally, we are glad to see them.A baby’s smile has the same effect.Have you been in a doctor’s waiting room and looked around at all the glum faces waiting impatiently to be seen? Dr. Stephen K. Sproul, a veterinarian in Raytown, Missouri, told of a typical spring day when his waiting room was full of clients waiting to have their pets inoculated. No one was talking to anyone else, and all were probably thinking of a dozen other things they would rather be doing than “wasting time” sitting i n that office. He told one of our classes:“There were six or seven clients waiting when a young woman came in with a nine-month baby and a kitten. As luck would have it, she sat down next to a gentleman who was more than a little distraught about the long wait forservice. The next thing he knew, the baby just looked up at him with that great big smile that is so characteristic of babies. What did that gentleman do? Just what you and I would do, of course; he smiled back at the baby. Soon he struck up a conversation with the woman about her baby and his grandchildren, and soon the entire reception room joined in, and the boredom and tension were converted into a pleasant and enjoyable experience.”The ancient Chinese were a wise lot – wise in the ways of the world; and they had a proverb that you and I ought to cut out and paste inside our hates. It goes like this, “A man without a smiling face must not open a shop.”Your smile is a message of your goodwill. Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it. To someone who has see a dozen people frown, scowl or turn their faces away, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds. Especially when that someone is under pressure from his bosses, his customers, his teachers or parents or children, a smile can help him realize that all is not hopeless – that there is joy in the world.。

Unit 7 Inner Voice参考译文对话范例请朗读下面的对话，注意说话人表达不悦的方式。

格林先生：你知道现在多晚了吗？约翰：都是我的错，我没意识到时间。

格林先生：希望你不要认为这种借口能帮你解脱。

约翰：不是的，我说的是真的。

格林先生：难道我没告诉你回家晚了要打电话吗？约翰：是的，但是我肯定是忘记了。

格林先生：不管怎么说，你需要做的就是打个电话。

约翰：我知道，我本应该打电话的。

格林先生：再晚回家，就把你的东西扔到外面去。

约翰：就因为这事就把我赶出去？格林先生：是的，也许只有到那时候你才能尊重我的规定。

约翰：太好了，我离开的话，你的规定也就无所谓了。

TextA读前问题：1．你认为你内心的呼唤总能指引你做出正确的选择吗？2．有没有遇到过这样的情况：内心的呼唤督促你采取行动？内心的呼唤今天和以往的15年一样，早上起床后，煮咖啡、洗澡、穿衣服，7点35分准时离开家去火车站，8点30分到连工作岗位。

在火车上，我总是选择远离人群的座位，这样就可以安安静静地看会儿报纸。

工作中，我要无休止地应对同事、供应商提出的各种问题，电话总是响个不停，还有那些令人恐惧的会议，所以我最不想做的事就是和坐在身边的陌生人闲聊。

上了火车，我发现车厢异常拥挤，这是以前从来没有过的现象，到底什么原因我也说不清楚。

车上只有一个空座，我犹犹豫豫地坐下，旁边坐着一个中年男子，低垂着头，看上去一副沉思的样子。

我很庆幸因为他并没有注意到我坐在他旁边，他一直低头看着地板。

就在我乘坐的这辆开往市区的列车行驶了30分钟之后，我发现自己很想知道这个男人在想什么。

什么事情如此重要以至于他都没有注意到我。

我试着忘记这一切，开始看报纸。

但是，不知道是什么奇怪的原因，我的内心一直在鼓励我跟这个人说话。

我实在不知道怎样跟一个陌生人开始聊天，就试图忽略这个声音。

你可能也猜出来了，我最后失败了，想出了一个借口，向他提了一个问题。

他抬起头来，转身冲着我，看得出他的确很伤心，眼睛红红的，尽管他极力擦拭，还是能看到几滴眼泪顺着面颊流下来了。

有多少次你的内心告诉你去做某事，而你反过来选择置之不理，结果却发现自己犯了一个大错？我敢说，在那个时候，你对自己说，“我本应该倾听内心的呼唤的，”有时候，内心的催促是不易察觉的，提醒我们缴费或者给朋友打电话；有时候内心的呼唤会持续不断，一连几天、几周，甚至几年一次又一次地提醒我们还有事情没有完成。

如果你内心的呼唤持续一个多礼拜，一次又一次地产生同样的想法和心情，你就会知道这是内心的呼唤在起作用。

相信你所获得的信息，利用这种信息来指引你的行为。
