Although I’m not a scholar in contemporary art, the idea of going to the exhibiti6on appeals to me.2.你知道几何学在传统的西方艺术中曾被用来勾画绘画作品吗？Do you know the geometry was used to plan paintings in tradition Western art?3.埃及文明吸引着来自全世界各地的旅游者。

The civilization of Egypt attracts tourists from all over the world.4.陶土罐非常脆弱，所以需要小心处理。

The visual effect of Renaissance wall paintings is still impressive today.Unit2.Poems1.报告的第二部分提到很多具体的问题，需要马上解决。

Unit 11. Nothing in life is more exciting and rewarding than the sudden flash of light that leaves you a changed person--not only changed, but changed for the better.The most inspiring and gratifying fact of life is the unexpected spark of enlightenment that makes you different and a better person than before.2. He came across the street, finally, muffled in his ancient overcoat, shapeless felt hat pulled down over his bald head, looking more like an energetic gnome than an eminent psychiatrist.A t last he walked over from the other side of the street, wrapped in his old-fashioned overcoat, his bald head covered by a shapeless felt hat. He looked like a dwarfish old man full of energy rather than a well-known psychiatrist.3. The woman who spoke next had never married because of a sense of obligation to her widowed mother; she recalled bitterly all the marital chances she had let go by.The next speaker on the tape was a woman who had remained single because she thought she was obliged to take care of her mother who was a widow. She still remembered and told others miserably about all the chances of marriage she had missed.4. In the end, if you let it become a habit, it can become a real roadblock, an excuse for not trying any more.Eventually, if you f orm a habit of saying “if only”, the phrase can really turn to an obstruction, providing you with an excuse for giving up trying anything at all.5. ... you never got out of the past tense. Not once did you mention the future.…you are always thinking of the past, regretting and lamenting. You did not look forward to what you can do in the future at all.6. ''My, my,'' said the Old Man slyly. ''If only we had come down ten seconds sooner, we'd have caught that cab, wouldn't we?''The Old Man said to me tr ickily, using the phrase “if only” on purpose, “If only we’d got here ten seconds earlier, we’d have caught the cab.” I laughed and understood what he meant. So I followed his advice and said, “Next time I’ll run faster”.Unit 21. Moses pleaded a speech defect to rationalize his reluctance to deliver Jehovah's edict to Pharaoh. Moses justified his unwillingness to pass Jehovah’s order to Pharaoh, saying that he was “slow of speech”.2. Yet for all the trouble procrastination may incur, delay can often inspire and revive a creative soul.Delay leads to problems. However, in many cases, it can often stimulate the creativity in an artist.3. He notes that speedy action can be embarrassing or extremely costly.He points out that hastiness may give rise to decision which turn out to be humiliating or expensive.4. Bureaucratization, which flourished amid the growing burdens of government and the greater complexity of society, was designed to smother policymakers in blankets of legalism, compromise and reappraisal---and thereby prevent hasty decisions from being made.Excessive red-tape(官样文章；繁文缛节) developed because public administration was expanding in scope and because society was growing more and more complicated. In this sense, red-tape helped those in charge of policy to be fully engaged in enormous amount of paperwork and judgment, thus making it impossible for an immature decision to result.5. ...many of my friends go through agonies when they face a blank page.…many of my friends have a hard time the moment they attempt to put pen to paper.Unit 31. Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is unnerving; but I suspect---I more than suspect, I am convinced---that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money.Brought up in the old tradition, my father is naturally not prepared to accept the idea of modern architecture; his objection to it, I would assume, indeed I should say I am pretty sure, is not a result of his strong dislike of the physical building itself, but rather that of his refusal to change his attitude towards money.2. If a building's design made it appear impregnable, the institution was necessarily sound, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architectural symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money, rather than in any aesthetic theory.If a building was made to look sturdy/invulnerable, it would be accordingly regarded as reliable, and the significance of the thick walls would be measured not by their artistic value, but by their seeming ability to provide a safe location for money.3. In a primitive society, for example, men pictured the world as large, fearsome, hostile, and beyond human control.P eople in a primitive society, for example, saw the world as an enormous planet full of fear, hatred and disorder.4.The principal function of today's wall is to separate possible undesirable outside air from the controlled conditions of temperature and humidity which we have created inside.Today a wall serves mainly as a physical means to protect the desired atmosphere inside from being disturbed by anything unwelcome outside.5. To repeat, it is not our advanced technology, but our changing conceptions of ourselves in relation to the world that determine how we shall build our walls.Again, the decisive factor that can influence the design of a wall is not the advancement of science and technology, but our ever-changing attitude towards our place in this world.Unit 41. He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts.He was a man rich in whimsies, and intolerant of any act bold enough as to challenge his authority. When his mind caught upon something, absurd as it might be, he would do everything to make sure that it was done in the way he wished.2. When every member of his domestic and political systems moved smoothly in its appointed course, his nature was bland and genial; but whenever there was a little hitch, and some of his orbs got out of their orbits, he was blander and more genial still, for nothing pleased him so much as to make the crooked straight, and crush down uneven places.When all his subjects behaved in such a manner as they were told to, he could be gentle and kind. And he could even be more so, if anything not conforming to what he expected should occur, because that offered a great chance for him to see the undesirable removed, a thing he was most delighted in doing.3. He could open either door he pleased: he was subject to no guidance or influence but that of the aforementioned impartial and incorruptible chance.He enjoyed total freedom to choose what to do: he was not directed or influenced by anyone as to which door to open. The only thing that was decisive in terms of his fate was the above-mentioned chance, granted to all the accused alike.4. This element of uncertainty lent an interest to the occasion which it could not otherwise have attained.The fact that no one could tell for sure what might happen (to the accused) made this from of trial more attractive than any other form of justice.5. Thus the masses were entertained and pleased, and the thinking part of the community could bring no charge of unfairness against this plan; for did not the accused person have the whole matter in his own hands?Thus people enjoyed coming here to watch, and those guided by reason in the society could not possibly question the fairness of this form of trial; for was it not the fact that all the accused were given equal chances to make decisions upon their won destiny?Unit51. This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies, and with a soul as fervent and imperious as his own.This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as exuberant as the wildest of his notions, a daughter who possessed a nature as fierce and tyrannical as his own.2. Of course, everybody knew that the deed with which the accused was charged had been done.It was, of course, known to all that he was guilty of the offense of conducting an affair with the princess.3. ...; but the king would not think of allowing any fact of this kind to interfere with the workings of the tribunal, in which he took such great delight and satisfaction.…,even though the ki ng was well aware that the love affair had taken place, he would still refuse to let the normal method of deciding guilt or innocence be disturbed, because he was extremely enthusiastic about his way of setting matters of this kind.4. ...; but gold, and the power of a woman's will, had brought the secret to the princess..…; but because she had the money, and above all, because her determination was so irresistible, the princess was able to get access to the secret.5. He understood her nature, and his soul was assured that she would never rest until she had made plain to herself this thing, hidden to all other lookers-on, even to the king.He knew her so well that he was perfectly positive that she would never cease to search for the secret, which remained unknown to all other spectators, even to the king himself.Unit 61. There seems to be a general assumption that brilliant people cannot stand routine; that they needa varied, exciting life in order to do their best.It is generally believed that a colorless life can freeze a creative mind, and that only a colorful life can inspire a man to creative work.2. The outstanding characteristic of man's creativeness is the ability to transmute trivial impulses into momentous consequences.One of the wonders human creativity works is that man can make full use of even insignificant feelings to produce far-reaching results.3. An eventful life exhausts rather than stimulates.A life full of diversions stops man’s creativity instead of activating it.4. It is usually the mediocre poets, writers, etc.,who go in search of stimulating events to release their creative flow.Only literary artists of an average type rely on excitements in life as a source for their creative work./ Great poets, writers, etc., create works of art out of trivial and common subject.5. People who find dull job unendurable are often dull people who do not know what to do with themselves when at leisure.People who are unable to see how to be patient with repetitious work are usually those who are unable to see where to find fun in life when it comes to relaxation.。

Mr. BeanYou must have seen this man somewhere—funny-looking，always in a jacket and a red tie. He seldom talks but always acts humorously.Who is he？He is the well-known Mr.Bean，who is very popular with most people all over the world and he always makes us laugh by means of his funny body language.Mr. Bean is the main character in the British comedy television series of the same name.It was written by Rowan Atkinson，Robin Driscoll，Richard Curtis and Ben Elton.The first episode was shown on 1st January 1990 and its final episode GoodNight，Mr. Bean was shown on 31st October 1995.During its five-year run，the series gained a large audience in the UK and throughout the world.People are most amused by the antics(滑稽动作) of Mr.Bean—a child in a grown man’s body.Mr.Bean often seems short of worldly(善于处事的)experience.The program usually shows his attempts to complete what would normally be considered simple tasks，such as going swimming or taking an exam.But he is quite not clever in dealing with the problems presented to him each time. The humor largely comes from his original solutions to any problem and his total disregard for others when solving them.The role of Mr.Bean is played by Rowan Atkinson—an Oxford University graduate.Atkinson is considered to be a great comedian in the style of Charlie Chaplin.People are very impressed by his humor.If you enjoy Mr. Bean，please enjoy his shows—Mr. Bean!阅读短文，判断正(T)误(F)1．Mr. Bean used to make the people laugh by his humorous words.

1A1B2AWithin the stricken area,not a single soul remained alive,and the city centre looked as if it had been razed by a monster steam-roller.The bomb exploded 1,000 the ground.On August 6,1945,an American aircraft dropped a bomb on the Japanese town of Hiroshima.Three days later,yet another bomb of the same kind gave the town of Nagasaki the same fatal blow.The explosion made one and a half square miles of the city an expanse of reddish rubble.Within the fraction of a second,the bomb changed from a metal cylinder into an im-mense mass of expanding gas,millions of degrees hot.A tremendous blast of hot air whirled the debris of stone,concrete,metal,and woodover the ground.2BPond,once praised by Thoreau for its natural beauty,is now the site of manytourist stands.2.

Unit 7How to Get the Poor off Our ConscienceJohn Kenneth GalbraithStructure of the TextPart I (Paras.1-2)The author begins with an analysis of ways of “getting the poor off our conscience”.Part II (Paras. 3-9)Five solutions offered historically and the author’s critique of these solutions. The solutions are arranged in chronological order.1.The solution proposed in the Bible. (Para. 3)2.The solution offered by utilitarianism. (Para. 4)3.The solution offered by Malthusianism. (Paras. 5 and 6)4.The solution offered by Social Darwinism. (Paras.7 and 8)5.The argument that public assistance to the poor interferes with the effective operation of theeconomic system. (Para. 9)Part III(Paras. 10-11)Transition: Roosevelt’s New Deal and the social welfare policies of the post-World War II presidents seemed to have solved the problem. But actually the matter was only temporarily held in place.Part IV(Paras. 12-19)A critical analysis of five current designs to get the poor off our conscience.1.The first design is that since the government is incompetent it should not be asked to aid thepoor. (Paras. 12-13)2.The second design is that any form of public help to the poor hurts the poor. (Paras. 14-15)3.The third design is that public help to the poor will reduce the incentive of the rich to workand encourage the lethargy of the idle. (Para. 16)4.The fourth design is that public help to the poor will have an adverse effect on freedom.(Paras. 17-18)5.The fifth design is psychological denial. (Para. 19)Part V (Para. 20)Summary of the five designs and the popularity of the advocates of these designs.Part VI(Para. 21)Conclusion: The author points out that public assistance to the poor is in the interest of the rich. It is a conservative course of action.Detailed Study of the Text1. I would like to reflect on one of the oldest of human exercises... (Para. 1)Question: What does the author want to reflect on?The author wants to discuss how people have been trying not to feel guilty about the existence of poor people and justify the continuing existence of poverty.Paraphrase: I want to think seriously about one of the oldest practices of human beings...Translation: 我要严肃考虑一种人类最古老的实践活动。

英语专业综合英语第六册课后问题Lesson One How to Get the Poor off Our Conscience1.What are the five historical solutions?(1)The first solution proposed in the Bible (圣经): the poor suffer in this world butare wonderfully rewarded in the next. Their poverty is a temporary misfortune. If they are poor and also meek（逆来顺受）, they eventually will inherit the earth.(2)The second solution is utilitarianism (功利主义) . (Utilitarianism is the idea thatthe morally correct course of action is the one that produces benefit for the greatest number of people.)(3)Next is Malthusianism (人口论). The poverty of the poor was the fault of the poor.And it was so because it was a product of their excessive fecundity (生育).(4)Social Darwinism (社会达尔文主义) is the fourth solution. The elimination of thepoor is nature’s way of improving the race. （物竞天择，适者生存。

But if we take some decisive action in this aspect, the prospect that we long for will appear before us. In other words, our future is in our own hand's to a great extent; our future is in fact the product of the joint decisions we make today. Needless to say, our present action will make certain prospect more likely to come true compared with some other prospects.Some scholars noticed that science fiction writers devoted their lives to showing what kind of future world would result from certain actions of human genius. They studied the excellent science fictions published in recent years, and got the conclusion that science fiction could reveal to us what would happen in the future and help us from a future world that we long for,What's interesting is that science fiction courses are offered in many colleges and universities on the grounds that science fiction is the bridge between science and art.9Vocabulary work11.submerged2.eased off3. enlarged4. burnt out5.make room for6.spit7.suck8.overdue9.at hand10.wreck11.vogue 12.rust 13.terror 14.digest 15.flash 16.turn back21.gets through2.but then3.transient4.at hand5.surrender6.pedestrian7. looked up to8.riddled with9.played a part 10.run out of time11.enlarge 12.vogue 13.optimist or a paragon 14.terror31.Overwork left him a wrech and his doctor ordered him to take a vacation.2.Ruth has every reason to think that her promotion is overdue.3.The heavy fog kept the plane from langding and it was how running out of fuel.4.Lst year's bad weather played a great part in the food prices which were pushed higher.5.Why don't you wait until traffic eases off.41.run out2.were run down3.running through4.is running out5.ran across6.run after7.run down8.are running out of9.ran away 10.be run away11.ran into 12.ran 13.run for 14.falling apart 15.fell away 16.fall back on17.am falling behind 18.falls for 19.falling in 20.fell off21.have fallen out22.fell out 23.has fallen throughCloze1.about2.going3.how4.what5.nothing6.Yet7.else8.spending9.too 10.off 11.on 12.do 13.More 14.less 15.like 16.thoughts 17.says 18.in19.if 20.failing 21.down 22.vision 23.claiming 24.sounds 25.far e 27.which 28.health 29.who 30 soError Corrention1.as -/2.attracting -distracting3.task-task in4.when-before5.them-it6.processions-processes7.nevertheless-instead8.and - yet9.Other -Another10.quick-quicklyTranslation1.James removed the books on the small stable to make room for the TV set.2.It is reported that the fire had burned out before firemen arrived there.3.Bob sat down and get ready to write.

But in fact teachers seldom mention the main controversial issues in the contemporary academic field even though they will teach them some scientific controversies in the past. This is concerned with the science teachers who are unwilling to introduce the current debates to students, for fear that students can't readily grasp the significance of the current academic debates if they don't first master the "fundamental knowledge."However things are different.College students are able to think over these controversies and understand what they are about by capitalizing on the knowledge they have acquired. Then what can college students learn from the current controversies concerned with the unknown world?First, it can stimulate their interest and attract their attention to watch those wise and imaginative scientists debating about the future world.Second, they will come to know that many important questions concerning our knowledge on nature are still a mystery. This will lead to the recognition of ignorance which will, in turn, urge them to make greater efforts in the scientific research.。

I would not know whether the student submitting th e work was the same person who registered for the course.Online teaching also required rethinking how I deliver the subject matter. Withou t face-to-face communication, can I, via computer, make the students feel the same ki nd of enthusiasm and appreciate my sense of humor?My shy daughter’s experience proved to be very inspiring. She never spoke in cl ass, but in the two online courses she took, she dived into discussions and posted her opinions.The online course began and things ran better than I had expected. The students all followed the directions well, and the discussion board was lively. I’ve never met a ny of my students but I got to know them by their work and I saw their learning attitudes develop before my eyes.I found that online education worked best with students who were vcomfortable with the computer and willing to become part of a community built around the subject matter. And it required teachers to be willing to help build that sense of community a nd make the students feel the teacher was always there.UNIT 2WORD1)He was merely a boy;I wouldn't have expected him to understand those abstract formulas.2)Though leading a frugal life,Charles is very generous,contributing time and money to a number of charitable organizations.3)He wasn't the sort of person who kept things for sentimental reasons;he threw them away immediately after use.4)The fire had destroyed most the building,but we managed to salvage a few valuable items.5)He was looking through a pile of old newspaper clippings for the report on the 100th anniversary of the university.6)Reclining in a comfortable chair,David idly flipped through a sports magazine.7)How can you expect an 'A' for this course when you turn in an essay as sloppy as this?8)The project needs to be meticulously planned as we have a tight deadline and only a limited budget.EXPRESSION1)Due to the cleaners strike,the rubbish in my house had been left unattended for days and it began to pile up against the wall.2)I was thinking of giving away those baby clothes of my daughter's,but for sentimental reasons I couldn't bring myself to part with them.3)First apply shampoo to your hair and leave the shampoo for two minutes,then rinse it off with warm water.4)After months of preparation,Kate and her parter finally set up their own printing business.5)I put forward a number of suggestions to improve working efficiency,but the management just toyed with ideas for a while and then rejected them.6)When questioned about the high oil price at present,nearly all interviewees claimed they had been forced to cut down fuel and many reported inconvenience in their lives.7)Have you finished with scissor?We're waiting to have our paper-cutting done.8)Buried in mounds of files,I just wanted to get the whole thing over with sooner so that I could go away and enjoy my holiday with all my heart.9)The global financial crisis is cutting a swath through the country's economy,with companies going bankrupt and individuals cutting down on their expenditure.10)Paul is an easy-going fellow at heart though sometimes he is very harsh and strict with his students.CLOZEThe distinction between neat people and sloppy people boils down to this:neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people.For one thing,neat people are bums and clods at heart.They like results and do not care about process.Instead of carrying in their mind's eye a heavenly vision,they just handle everything once and for all and everything that is of no immediate use goes into the trash can.They are incredibly wasteful and put neatness before all else,even economics.By contrast,sloppy people take pains to develop ambitions plans.They may not be neat now but someday they will straighten out the world.Besides,neat people have cavalier attitudes toward everything,including such possessions as family heirlooms.And they are especially vicious with mail.They throw ads catalogs,and coupons into the trash can without opening them.They are so insensitive that people,animals,and things are all one to them.They would toy with the idea of throwing the children out of the house just to cut down on the clutter.On the other hand,sloppy people give loving attention to their possessions and find it impossible to part with anything.TRANSLATIONSloppy people are not really sloppy. It is just that the plan they carry in their mind’s eye is too precise, too stupendous and too perfect to be achieved in this world or the next. They aim too high and wide. They save everything, planning someday to file and order. When they finally set about handling things, sloppy people just can’t bear to part with anything. After hours of work, the place looks exactly the same. So sloppy never get neat.Neat people place neatness above everything else. They like results and don’t care about process. They have cavalier attitudes toward possessions. If anything collects dust, it’s got to go. They are incredibly wasteful. Anything that is not ofimmediate use goes into the trash. They are insensitive and there is no sentimental salvaging of birthday cards or the last letter a dying relative ever wrote. Neat peopleoperate on two unvarying principles: Never handle any item twice, and throw everythi ng away. So the only thing messy in a neat person’s house is the trash can.So neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people. The distinction betwee n them is moral.UNIT 3WORD1)Every year George gives his wife Gigi a huge bunch of red roses on her birthday.2)I tried to give up smoking several times before I realized I was addicted to it.3)Young people who abuse drugs regularly often end up as very immature adults because they never learn to cope with their problems.4)After long separation we finally had a family reunion where I saw relatives I hadn't seen for 20 years.5)He catches cold easily because his body's immune system is suppressed by the virus.6)His words have sown the seeds of suspicion in our minds and we are going tore-examine the evidence he has given in court.7)Miss Walker's father had gone bankrupt owing to a failed business venture with his dishonest partners.8)The invention of modern appliances such as washing machines and plug-in conveniences has liberated women from household chores and enabled them to enter the workforce.9)The Smiths adopted a poor little girl who had been starved of affection since her parents died in an accident.10)According to official statistics,there are 58 deaths per 1000 children born in that remote area of the country.EXPRESSION1)A reputation for quality,coupled with very competitive prices,has made these cars very popular.2)Many officials have been wondering aloud about the Prime Minister's competence in handling the current financial crisis.3)You can lose five pounds a week on this diet.And best of all,you never have to feel hungry.4)The doctor advised those with heart problems to put a first-aid kit close at hand the time.5)Several times it had crossed his mind to check on the car,but he never actually did it.6)I'm not going to sit by and watch a man go to prison for something I've done. CLOZETobacco smoking has been a popular practice for centuries.The tobacco industry,coupled with Hollywood movie in which both hero and heroine puff away,has successfully established a glamorous image of smokers.As a result,people take up smoking with the illusion of looking either dapper or fashionable and most ofthem end up hopelessly addicted to cigarettes.In some Third World countries,as in American ghettos and on reservations,money that should be spent for food goes instead to the tobacco companies.Indeed,smoking is nothing but self-poisoning,and watching their loved ones dying of smoking,family members are often overwhelmed with a feeling of futility.Meanwhile,we must feel empathy for the tobacco plant itself.Though for centuries the plant has been venerated by Native Americans as a sacred medicine to heal wounds and cure diseases,it has been captured and abused to enslave the world.And with its true nature suppressed,the tobacco plant has become deadly.Indeed,we should redeem tobacco's soul,restore its self-respect right away and promote the slogan:"Every home a smoke-free zone."TRANSLATIONHer daughter smoked and she felt a deep hurt as her mother. She remembered ho w as a child she sat by, through the years, and watched her father, who smoked like a chimney, wheeze through most of his life feeling half his strength, and she remembere d how carefully she ate when she was pregnant, how patiently she taught her daughter how to cross a street safely. She had a feeling of futility when she saw her daughter r epeating the mistake of her grandfather.She did not want to see in the family another victory for the tobacco companies, but she was faced with powerful rivals: the tobacco industry and Hollywood. The two collaborated to win over completely people like her father and made them hopelessly addicted to cigarettes.It is not easy to quit smoking, but things may become easier of smokers realize th at smoking is s form of self-battering that also batters those who must sit by, and if we can really make “every home a smoke-free zone.”UNIT 4WORD1)Smart and hardworking,Germen seemed destined for a successful career ahead.2)At 31,Peggy feels trap in the boring job of an office secretary and she has a yearning to escape.3)Yesterday a storm blasted the Florida coast with 75 m.p.h.winds and left two tourists missing.4)The couple hardly ever reach an agreement---their conversations often erupt into quarrels and shouting.5)The ballet company's new performance successfully blended tradition and creative innovation,which won great admiration from critics.6)Repeated exam failures had eroded her confidence and exerted an influence onher---she started to skip classes more often.7)Ever since our secretary resigned,our office has been in a state of total chaos.8)Parents are usually inclined to impose their own moral values on theirchildren,which might bring on rebellion from teenagers.9)Some fathers are jealous of the attention a newborn baby receives from its mother,even if they won't admit it.10)I have this strong yearning for open spaces from having lived in a crowed city for too many years.EXPRESSION1)The result of the survey is quite alarming---half the marriages in this country end in divorce.2)Being addicted to betting on horses,he had gambled away most of his inheritance by the time he was thirty.3)We cooked too much for lunch and had to take what was left over for supper.4)Many companies are now suffering from a chronic shortage of funds brought on in recent years by the financial crisis.5)She didn't quarrel with her husband when she found out about his infidelity,but her annoyance showed itself in her look.6)Inflation nibbles away at people's savings and reduces their value considerably.7)To show my affection for the little girl,I bent down and tried to kiss her on the forehead,but she pulled away in time,which made me rather embarrassed.8)As the advancing soldiers closed in on the town,people started running into the underground shelters for safety.CLOZEThe causes for marital despair are varied.Some marriages fail because of the outside weather:pressures such as job loss,illness,care of aging parents and all the other plagues of life may harshly hit marriage.Some other marriages fail because of a changed inner climate.At the tender beginnings of romance,each of us selects with unconscious accuracy a mate who will recreate with us the emotional patterns of our first homes,a mate who will help us rediscover both the psychological happiness and miseries of our past lives.And all marriages rely on the basic myth of meaning everything to each other,of merging together and solving all of life'sproblems.Yet,realities of life erode the visions of marital bliss.Now many marriages fall apart because those in the commitment are unwilling to exercise theself-discipline that marriage requires.Besides,an essential element for a good marriage,i.e.,communication between partners,is often missing.TRANSLATIONMarriage has always been difficult. Why has it become so hard for couples to sta y together in today’s society?On the one hand, our modern social fabric is thin, and the permissiveness of soci ety has created unrealistic expectations and thrown the family into chaos. On the other hand, marriage requires sexual, financial and emotional discipline, but people today a re unwilling to exercise the self-discipline that marriage requires. Besides, couples tod ay must also deal with all the cultural changes brought on in recent years by the wome n’s movement and sexual revolution. These and other realities of life erode the visions of marital bliss. If we lack adaptability, flexibility, genuine love and kindness, and an imagination strong enough to feel what the other is feeling, if we cannot bring difficu lties out into the open, then marriage may come to the end of the road.Of course, divorce id not an evil act. For some people, it provides salvation and it can be a step toward a good life. However, marriages that do not fail but improve, tha t persist despite imperfections, offer a wondrous shelter for our mutual humanity.

TRANSLATIONDo you have this lingering doubt that you won’t be able to write something when you need to? Do you feel it’s like a constant fog or static that clouds the mind and yo u can never get out of its clutches?As a matter of fact, it is possible to write something ---- not something great or pleasing but at least something usable, workable ---- when your mind is out of commission.The trick is to do all your cooking out on the table because your mind is incapable of doing any inside.Try simply to steer your mind in the direction or general vicinity of the thing you are trying to write about and start writing and keep writing. Be as loose, drifting, quirky and jerky as possible when you write. Don’t think about what you are writing or what you have written or else you will overload the circuit again.Then take some little pieces of paper and simply read over from the beginning of what you wrote, and see if you can gather up something useful into one sentence and write it by itself on a little sheet of paper. Then, read through the little slips of paper a number of times and build a relationship among them until they get into different piles. At this point, you find you can finally begin to think, and that lab report which has been occupying your mind is no longer unreachable.。

gaming‘addictive’:the player is determined not to make the same mistake again and to have‘one last go’in the hope of doing better next time.Some of the concern over the violence of computer games has been about children who are unable to tell the difference between fiction and reality and who act out the violent moves of the games in fight on the problem with video games is that they involve

commit,would almost certainly have been executed for the pub bombingthey were convicted had the death penalty been in force at the time of their may now be a decent interval before the pro-hanging

bombings in that city. Thus far the Home secretary, Mr. Douglas Hurd, is insisting that the two cases are not comparable; that what is now known about the Guilford investigation has no relevance to what happened in Birmingham.Mr. Hurd is right to the extent that there was a small-though flimsy and hotly-contested-amount of crime evidence in the Birmingham disturbing similarity is that the Birmingham Six,like the Guilford Four,claim that police officers lied and fabricated evidence to secure a conviction.Making scapegoats(替罪羊)of a few rogue police officers will not be sufficient to eliminate the Guilford miscarriage of are already demands that the law should be changed;first to make it impossible to convict on“confessions”alone;and secondly to require that statements from accused persons should only be taken in the presence of an independent third patty to ensure they are not made under punishment.It was also being noted this week that the Guilford Four owe their release more to be persistence of investigative reporters than to the diligence of either the judiciary or the investigative reports-particularly on television-have recently been a particular target for the condemnation of and some of

productivity of Americans employed in private businesses has productivity of workers in countries such as Japan and Germany is machine tools,on average,are old,relatively inefficient,and rapidly becoming obsolete,whereas those of our competitors overseas,in comparison,are newer and more are no longer the most productive workers in the are no longer the leaders in industrial innovation(革新).We

person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language;but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncingforeign there are many reasons for this,some obvious,some perhaps not so I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce,and consequently never set about tackling it in the right too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill—one that needs careful training of a special kind,and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of think even teachers of language,while recognizing the importance of a good accent,tend to neglect,in their practical teaching,the branch of study concerned with speaking the the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught;the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this,and should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close ,there should be occasions when other aspects of English,such as grammar or spelling,are allowed for the moment to take second place.Apart from this question of the time given to pronunciation,there are two other requirements for the teacher:the first,knowledge;the second,technique.It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary can generally be obtained from is possible to get from books some idea of the mechanics of speech,and of what we call general phonetic is also possible in this way to
