1. I sat there and for the first time felt that it was possible for a writer and a reader to become true friends. The writer and reader could exchange feelings as well as ideas. Such exchange might not be as close as that among my family members, yet it is personal and private communication indeed2. Whenever I finished reading a book, I would tell my teachers about what I had learned so as to enjoy the praise and encouragement from my teachers for my hard work.3. Although I worked very hard on reading, I found reading could also be pleasant or amusing. I began to enjoy that feeling of loneliness or isolation reading had brought me.4. Although I enjoyed reading very much, yet the way I read was not correct, for I was only fascinated by books and I did not have any ideas of my own. Instead, I tried to form such ideas from reading.5. But, as a persistent and hardworking boy who believed in everything teachers or professors said, I managed to read The Republic without missing a single word. 1．Ame rica’s schools are always controlled by those government officials in charge of education system. To tell how powerful/influential these people are, we could make a contrast between America’s schools and America’s universities, which are quite beyond the control or command of those officials.2．“The University should be built upon the complete freedom of the human thought.Because in this university, we are free to seek after truth and stick to it; and we are secure to tolerate any error as long as we are allowed to fight against it with the power of reason.”3．America’s universities and professors in charge of these institutions stress that students should not only develop the habit of independent thinking, but also strive to broaden their mind, delve into their textbooks, and have a precise command of knowledge.4．These days freshman students to America’s research/best universities are not always up to the admission standard. To maintain the education quality, our universities have to enroll large numbers of foreign students with excellent educational background .5．We have to allow foreign students to enter our universities so as to solve the problem caused by public schools’ failure in education. It is just like that we have to allow foreign capital to come into our county so as to solve the problem of negative trade balance. These solutions can not work forever.1. As a Puerto Rican girl brought up in US, I have a strong desire to be accepted as a native, and I feel quite angry about people’s bias against me, cau sed by my Hispanic appearance.2. As a girl I was brought up under constant watch of my parents, who believe my chastity/virginity and proper behavior/decency are something that are equal/equivalent / so much related to our family reputation.3. In her native place, a Hispanic girl is kept safe by her big family and their religion. If she was assaulted/offended/insulted by a man, the offender would surely getpunished.4. My pro friends are surprised to find that even today some people, including those who are well educated, still have bias against people from a different cultural background.5. In his eyes, I was simply a typical Latin girl of humble origins, just one of the stereotyped images in his prejudiced mind.1.It was a joke; we all regarded ourselves as smart college freshmen, and thoughtthat in the world we could get everything as long as we asked.2.Back in the 17th century, Spinoza thought that although ambition and lust werenot classified as diseases, they could make people go crazy and insane.3.Most of us have to face the great success our friends (or enemies) achieved, whoused to start their career at the same time as we did, but now they are much more successful than we are.4.In addition to all these external criteria which are used to measure success, there isanother thing which you hate most, that is, your internal voice. This voice kept reminding you that how successful you could have been and how miserable you are now, because you failed to meet your goals.5.The world is also full of people who are so ambitious, so exhausted by work andoverwork that the things they do on the way to success are of no value at all. For them, life is a long journey which only promises future reward. Y ou are doing this or that which you really don’t like to do only because you believe that you will be rewarded and get what you want someday in future.1.From the very beginning of the world, God said that work was bad, shameful,oppressive and life-long suffering. If Adam and Eve had not sinned ，human beings would have enjoyed great glory and could have lived in the paradise joyfully and permanently without having to work.2.The Protestant work ethic was formed in the instructions of ML and JC. This workethic regards work as a sacred and holy mission, and to accomplish this mission, the worker cooperates with God to change our world.3. Finally, men and women emphasize more on realizing their own personal values. This expectation seems natural and even meaningful but sometimes people who expect too much of themselves will become self-centered and their requirements will never be satisfied. As a result, they will be isolated from the rest of the world and livea vacant and lonely life.4. Americans, who always complain about their job, should talk with those jobless young people living in the poor area, who with whose painful experience, know far better than anyone else how important and respectable it is to have a job.。

Give brief answers to the following questions, using your own words as much as possible:1 In real life what kind of woman is the mother2 What kind of woman would Dee like her mother to be3 How does the mother act when she meets a strange white man4 What kind of girl is Maggie5 Why do you think colored people asked fewer questions in 19276 Why does the mother say Dee will never bring her friends to visit them What does this tell about Dee Give other instances to prove your point.7 Why did Dee want the quilt so much8 Why did Maggie want the quilt9 Why did Dee visit her mother and sister10 What is the mother’s feeling toward Dee How is it changed in the course of the story11 What is implied by the subtitle ‘ for your grandmama’’II. Paraphrase:1 She thinks her sister has held life always in the palm of one hand2”no” is a word the world never learned to say to her3 Johnny Carson has much to do to keep up with my quick and witty tongue.4 It seems to me I have talked to them always with one foot raised in flight5 She washed us in a river of make-believe6 Burned us with a lot of knowledge we didn’t necessarily need to know7 Like good looks and money, quickness passed her by.8 A dress to the ground, in this hot weather.9 You can see me trying to move a second or two before I make it.10 Anyhow, he soon gives up on Maggie.11 Though, in fact, I probably could have carried it back beyond the Civil War through the branches.12 Every once in a while he and Wangero sent eye signals over my head.13 Less than that.14 This was the way she knew God to work.III. Translate the following into Chinese:1 In real life I am a large, big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands. In the winter I wear flannel nightgowns to bed and overalls during the day. I can kill and clean a hog as mercilessly as a man. My fat keeps me hot in zero weather. I can work outside all day,breaking ice to get water for washing; I can eat pork liver cooked over the open fire minutes after it comes steaming from the hog. One winter I knocked a bull calf straight in the brain between the eyes with a sledge hammer and had the meat hung up to chill before nightfall. But of course all this does hot show on television. I am the way my daughter would want me to be: a hundred pounds lighter, my skin like an uncooked barley pancake. My hair glistens in the hot bright lights. Johnny Carson has much to do to keep up with my quick and witty tongue.2 But that is a mistake. I know even before I wake ever knew a Johnson with a quick tongue Who can even imagine me looking a strange white man in the eye It seems to me I have talked to them always with one foot raised in flight, with my head turned in whichever way is farthest from them. Dee, though. She would always look anyone in the eye, Hesitation was no part of her nature.3 I used to think she hated Maggie, too. But that was be-fore we raised the money, the church and me, to send her to Augusta to school. She used to read to us without pity; forcing words, lies, other folks’ habits, whole lives upon us two, sitting trapped and ignorant underneath her voice. She washed us in a river of make-believe, burned us with a lot of knowledge we didn’t necessarily need to know. Pressed us to her with the serious way she read, to shove us away at just the moment, like dimwits, we seemed about to understand.4 I never had an education myself. After second grade the school was closed down. Don’t ask me why: in 1927 colored asked fewer questions than they do now. Sometimes Maggie reads to me. She stumbles along good-naturedly but can’t see well. She knows she is not bright. Like good looks and money, quickness passed her by. She will marry John Thomas who has mossy teeth in an earnest face and then I’ll be free to sit here and I guess just sing church songs to myself. Although I never was a good singer. Never could carry a tune. I was always better at a man’s job. I used to love to milk till I was hooked in the side in ‘49.

Topic for oral work: Compare the three women in the story.XIV. Write a short composition on: My Family习题全解I .1In real life the mother was a large, big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands.2Dee like her mother to have a slender figure and a fair skin, glistening hair and a quick and witty tongue.3When she meets a strange white man, she always avoids looking him in the eye and is ready to go away.4Maggie is an innocent, timid and kind-hearted girl.5 Because they were more seriously looked down upon by white men at that time, and they were not as awaken as they are today.6Because Dee doesn’t like her friends to see the poor state her family is in, which she thinks is shameful. This tells us that Dee is somewhat a snob. Another instance to prove this is that she wants nice things.7Because it was old and stitched by hand instead of by machine. So that she could use them for decoration showing to the people she was associated with.8Maggie wanted the quilt because she could remember her grandma better, who taught her to do needle work.9Because she wanted to get some valuable heritages of the family, mainly out of her vanity.10At first the mother liked Dee because of her beauty, taste, and education. But with the development of the story, her love was transferred to a dislike because of Dee’s egotism, which wasobviously revealed when she insisted on taking the quilts while her sister Maggie gave up keeping it willingly to satisfy her desire.11It’s implied that the story is written in honor of t he grandma mentioned in it and that the ordinary old thing may be something precious for the young.Ⅱ.1She thinks that her sister has a firm control of her life.2She could always have anything she wanted, and life was extremely generous to her.3The popular TV talk show star, Johnny Carson, who is famous for his witty and glib tongue, has to try hard if he wants to catch up with me.4It seems to me that I have talked to them always ready to leave as quickly as possible.5She imposed on us lots of falsity.6imposed on us a lot of knowledge that is totally useless to us 7She is not bright just as she is neither good-looking rich.8Dee wore a very long dress even on such a hot day.9You can see me trying to move my body a couple of seconds before I finally manage to push myself up.10Soon he knows that won’t do for Maggie, so he stops trying to shake hands with Maggie.11As I see Dee is getting tired of this, I don’t want to go on either. In fact, I could have traced it far back before the Civil War along the branches of the family tree.12Now and then he and Dee communicated through eye contact in a secretive way.13If Maggie put the old quilts on the bed, they would be in rags less than five years.14She knew this was God’s arr angement.Ⅲ.

XlII. Omitted.XlV.My FamilyOurs is a big family. My father is a worker who lives in a lo-cal city. Both my oldest uncle and second uncle set up house-keeping in the countryside. My youngest uncle is a teacher and lives far from us. Great changes have taken place in my family since the beginning of the reform and opening policy. In the late 1970s, our big family had a get-together and discussed the problem of my grandma’s residence. Those were hard times. No one took the initiative to live with her. Each family had a skeleton in the cupboard. Oldest uncle had room only e-n0ugh to shelter them from the wind and rain. He had to tighten his belt to keep the family pot boiling. Second uncle had nothing but four bare walls to face and led a dog’s life. Youngest uncle was said to be living in a dormito ry and couldn’t even afford a trip back. My father lived in a bungalow which was a doll’s house thing and had to eke out our livelihood. But it was better anyway. My grandma lived on with us.Such was my family at that time. Each family of the big ex-tended family was in financial straits.In the early 1990s, my big clan held another family meeting and still my grandma’s residence was discussed. But great changes had occurred. Each smaller family was “fighting” for the chance to live with grandma. The meeting began in a merry atmosphere. My father started, “The government has established a system of floor wages and ceiling working hours. We have a steady income and regular leisure time. Besides, we have a well-furnitured apartment. “ Oldest uncle hasten ed, “The state has legalized us to be engaged in household sideline production, so I have set up a small but rather profitable poultry farm. Moreover, there is more spacious room. “ Second uncle would’t fall behind, “I have contracted to run a large stretc h of land and engage many farm hands. I profit a lot from it. I have more leisure time. “ Eventually, as regards the peace in the country-side, my grandma moved to second uncle, youngest uncle took a flight back and told us he had just bought a flat.That was my family about 10 years later. Each smaller family lived in abundance. Now, oldest uncle is manager of a large-scale poultry farm and second uncle’s farm has been mechanized.To sum up, the spring wind of the reform and opening policy has led to great changes and my family is well on the way to prosperity.。
