Unit 2Man and TechnologyTask One Discovering the Main Ideas (P38)1. Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) No. The survey showed that the majority of Americans did not become happier with the advancement of technology. In fact, the percentage of people who say they are “very happy” has fallen slightly since the early 1970s, even though their income has increased considerably.2) According to Easterlin, money cannot make people happier after a certain point, that is, when people are able to meet the needs for a decent life.3) According to the author, with technological inventions such as linked databases, the Internet and TV, people have less privacy and less time for real-world communication. As a result, they tend to be more lonely and depressed.4) The most important impact of technology on people’s life is in the field of health care. The development of medical technology has greatly increased people’s life expectancy and improved their quality of life. So the vast majority of people are happy to be alive, and the more time they get on earth, the better off they feel they’ll be.5) On the whole, the author cites examples to illustrate that the advances in technology do not necessarily make people happier.Task Two Reading Between the Lines (P39)Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1. Besides striving for material success, Americans are pursuing an enjoyable life after work. Because of their demand for entertainment, TV and film productions and other enterprises that provide leisure activities have developed into extremely productive and profitable industries.2. People generally believe that the more money one possesses, the happier he /she becomes. However, according to Easterlin, when people become comparatively well off, the increase of money cannot make them happier. Money can satisfy one’s material needs, but cannot buy him/her love, friendship, or family ties that would make him/her emotionally satisfied.3. TV is a typical example to demonstrate how technological inventions isolate people and community from each other. It takes away the time that people would otherwise use ot communicate with each other, especially among family members, and to participate in community activities. People are likely to care more about what happens in the virtual world, while ignoring the feelings and needs of those around them in the real world.4. The original meaning of the joke is that the food may not be so delicious, but we still want to be served as much as possible. “Food” here refers to life, and “portions” refers to life expectancy. The joke here implies that we want to live as long as possible though we may not be leading a happy life.Checking Your Vocabulary (P44)Word Detective1.

With the development of science and technology, people’s standard of living is getting higher and higher. People’s life expectancy has soared, too.However, oddly enough, many people do not feel happier than they used to be. It can be seen that there is no close correlation between people’s income and their happiness. Happiness cannot, after all, be bought with money.Although the majority of people are not very satisfied with their lives, they are happy to be alive, and the more time they get on earth, the better off they feel they’ll be. What is important is that material wealth is far from enough. People need spiritual happiness, too.Theme-Related Writing (P56)Sample Essay:The Impact of the Mobile Phone on People’s LivesAmong the many technological inventions, the mobile phone impresses me most.The mobile phone brings considerable convenience to our lives. It not only enables us to keep in touch with each other almost anytime and anywhere but also helps us solve problems or do business efficiently. In emergencies, a mobile phone can even be a life-saver. Besides, its multi-functions add ease and color to our lives. With a mobile phone, we can receive mail, read news, listen to music, play games, and take pictures.Yet, the mobile phone has its disadvantages, too. Most of us have experienced the nuisance of unwanted or wrong calls. We are inconvenienced by calls on occasions when we least expect one. Besides, the technology infrastructure to support mobile communication has consumed valuable natural resources and caused significant environmental problems. It is reported that electromagnetic radiation waves from the phone may result in health problems.Despite its negative side, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh its disadvantages. I believe that with advances in science and technology, improved and safer models of mobile phones will surely serve us still better.The End of Unit 2 of Book 4。

综合教程2第四单元课文翻译Unit 4: Going PlacesText 1: A Trip to the CountrysideMy family and I decided to take a trip to the countryside for a change of scenery. We wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy some fresh air.We packed our bags and set off bright and early one morning. As we drove through the winding country roads, we marveled at the beautiful landscapes. The meadows were filled with colorful wildflowers, and there were rolling hills as far as the eye could see. It was truly a sight to behold.We arrived at our destination, a charming little cottage nestled amidst the green fields. It was a perfect getaway spot. We spent our days exploring the surrounding nature, going for long walks and enjoying picnics in the sunshine. The peaceful ambiance was a welcome change from the noise of the city.One day, we stumbled upon a picturesque village nearby. The houses had thatched roofs and white picket fences, straight out of a storybook. The locals were friendly and eager to share their stories with us. We learned about their traditions and local customs, and even joined in on a traditional dance in the village square.After a week of relaxation and immersing ourselves in the countryside lifestyle, it was time to return to the city. We packed our bags, bid farewell to the friendly villagers, and drove backhome feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.Our trip to the countryside was truly memorable. It reminded us of the beauty of nature and the importance of taking a break from our hectic lives. It was a refreshing experience that we will cherish for years to come.。
