1.For many parents, helping children develop healthy eating habits is a struggle. With the hectic pace of many families' lives and with more women working full time, even health-conscious parents are finding it easy to tolerate less than desirable eating habits.2." A lot of parents don't want to strugglewith the issue so they give up, letting kids make their own choices," says Jane Ress, director of nutrition service/education in adolescent medicine and lecturer in pediatrics at the Univer sity of Washington School of Medicine and Public Health.“But children's judgment is less mature and they still depend on parents to guide them."3.It is best to start training children about foods as soon as they can talk since they are most influenced by their families during the preschool years. Additionally, research has shown that heart and blood vessel disease can begin very early and that hardening of the arteries can be associated with a high-fat diet.4.Parents should carefully read food labels to check nutrients and ingredients. Most kids are attracted to the advertising and packaging of food, including highly sugared cereals. Rees suggests fitting them in occasionally as a treat in an overall diet that is focused on low sugar, low fat, and unprocessed foods.5.Although it's a myth that children become hyperactive by eating too much sugar, sugary food is still bad for oral health, can be stored as fat, and aggravates diabetes, says Rees. However, completely denying children sugar will only make it more tempting.6.Ress suggests involving young children in the food preparation process. For example, teach children how to set the table during their preschool years. Taken them grocery shopping. Let them choose some fruits and vegetables as well as the occasional treats, advises Rees. " You will see their capabilities grow enormously“ she says. " However, if parents don't follow the natural signs that kids are ready to help, they will lose the window of opportunity."7.Developing children's attitude toward food should be similar to teaching them how to handle money-by giving them growing responsibility along with sensible access. If children are properly prepared, they are more likely to make healthy food choices once they enter school. They will probably experiment some, but they will have a preference for fresh foods like fruits and vegetables along with foods like French fries, says Rees.8.What about changing the diet of children who have already fallen into the junk food habit? Once children reach age 10 or 12, it is very difficult to change their habits or force them to eat healthier foods. Rees suggests calling a family meeting to rationally discuss ways to eliminate most junk foods and substitute more nutritious ones. If they learn to eat a well- balanced diet, they won't need vitamin supplements, she says.9." Nutritional guidance won't work unless you have built up a good sense of nutrition overtime,”says Rees. However, even children who have developed a taste for nutritious food may change when they reach teenage years. Teenagers like to experiment with everything, including riskyfood behavior. They might gravitate toward highly processed foods, but once they become older and more independent they are likely to return to the healthy habits they had when growing up."10Other common problems among teenagers include girls who may view food as a treat to slimness, or boys who take muscle-building supplements. About 25% to 40% of teenagers are overweight, mostly from lack of exercise in combination with eating too much fat and sugar. This problem can turn into an emotionone and become a vicious circle-eating, or starving, to cope with unhappiness.11."If you see a real eating problem and there is anger and conflict," advises Rees,"seek professional intervention." Helpful support of family, friends and healthcare professionals is the best method for addressing eating disorders.1.对许多父母来说，培养孩子健康的饮食习惯不是件容易的事。

全新版大学英语综合教程二unit1-unit8选词填空cloze答案Unit 1Is there a contrast between learning styles in China and the West? While we should be careful to avoid exaggerating the differences, they do appear to exist. In China, for example, greater priority is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, on the other hand, place more emphasis on promoting creativity in young children, leaving them to pick up skills later. American parents tend to avoid rushing in to assist their children as they try to accomplish a task, thinking in better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach can, on occasion, be mistaken for neglecting one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantages, and it may well be worthwhile to search for a superior method that would combine the best of both worlds.Unit2If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was well-off . Most of what he owns is rather dated and he will readily admit to falling into the bottom income bracket . Yet he would deny that he is poor, for he feels that his life is full of less tangible riches . Rather than devoting himself to the pursuit of money before all else, he cherishes the pleasures of friendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make him feel out of place in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurt when he remembers the abrupt departure of a girlfriend who did not share his views. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his focus on helping the poor through collecting donations each Christmas. Unit3Our dad is typical of the older generation. You can certainly say he gives our welfare his constant attention. Sometimes, however, we wish he wouldn’t try quite so hard. To be frank, he seems to have a talent for embarrassing us by making dumb remarks. He should know better than that,but he never seems to learn and just goes on making the same old mistakes repeatedly . The result is that we live in constant dread of his well-intentioned interference in our affairs. Mom is no help, as you can bet she will always see things from his point of view rather than from ours. Overall, though, he’s awonderful dad and I assure you I wouldn’t trade him for anyone in the world.Unit 4With the Internet we can escape into another world at the click of a button. For many this virtual world is a dream come true. They find they can do away with the daily routines and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a nightmare . It is especially annoying when the Internet connection is slow and everything crawls at a snail’s space. The computer does not take in your messages nor does it spit out data . Still others, who get the virtual world, may find communicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. At times they feel this so strongly that they have to flee from real human contact, hurrying to get back on line to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.Unit5The following is how Michael Stone looks back on that day's competition.In my mind's eye I can see every detail of that pole vault. The bar was set at a new height.As I heard the crowd groan,I knew my competitor had failed to clear it.It was time for my mind with anxiety.I was tense and my palm began to sweat . I tried to shake off the tension, but was unsuccessful. At the critical moment, I remembered my mothe's advice to breathe deeply and brought myself under control . Then I was off , up and away, Soaring like an eahle , just as I did in my recurring dreams. The thump of my landing brought me back to earth. I had done it! This was no mere tantasy, but the real thing. All the sweat and hard work had paid off. Friends were rushing to congratulate me and I was surrounded by numerous clicking cameras of the media.Unit6Isn’t it strange how chance can play such a large part in what we become? If Carolyn hadn’t stumbled into that engineering course, she would never have become an engineer. At the time she did not know the first thing about anything mechanical. But when it comes to hard work, she is no stacker. She threw herself into study and joined in the project to make a hybrid vehicle. She admits that she often found studying math difficult, but she gritted her teeth and got on with it, working on the premise that math is a hard subject for most people. Girls, she argues, are no more at a disadvantage in this respect than boys. Nonetheless, she still had moments of panic when she found making progress particularly difficult.Carolyn concludes that we should not allow cultural expectations tolimit our horizons, for we are far more flexible in what we can achieve than they would imply.Unit7A fascinating feature of the English language is its tolerance of new words and phrases, either borrowed or invented.There exists no authority to examine each new addition to the language, to determine what is acceptable and to ban what is not. True, some people do think that borrowed words corrupt the language. They think the language is running out of control. At one time, influenced by the intellectual elite in France, some people came up with the idea of establishing an academy to maintain the purity of the English language. Fortunately the idea never took hold. Massive borrowing from a rich, variety of sources was, as a result, left free to greatly enrich the language.Unit8Rachel Carson provides a vivid description of an American town that seemed to be living under a wicked spell (1) .The town was stricken(2) by a whole series of misfortunes(3).Its surroundings(4),once full of apple blossom(5)and the song of migrant(6)birds,had changed dramatically.

第五单元逾越障碍课文A读一读以下两则名言，想一想迈克尔·斯通的故事是否印证了其间的道理。

障碍越是巨大，逾越它也就越感自豪。

——莫里哀只有天空漆黑时，你才可以看到星星。

——查尔斯·久比尔德真正的高度大为·纳史特他手心在出汗。

他需要用毛巾把握竿的手擦干。

太阳火辣辣的，与他今天在全国少年奥林匹克运动会上所面临的竞争一样热烈。

横杆升到了17英尺。

比他个人的最高记录高出3英寸。

迈克尔·斯通面临的是其撑竿跳高生涯中最具挑战性的一天。

尽管赛跑决赛一小时前就已经结束，看台上仍然观众满座，足有20，000人上下。

撑竿跳高确实是所有田径比赛中最精彩的项目。

它融合了体操运动员的优雅与健美运动员的力量。

它还具有飞翔的特征，对观看该项目比赛的观众来说，飞跃两层楼的高度简直是一件不可思议的事情。

迈克尔自从能记事起就一直梦想着飞翔。

从小到大，母亲给迈克尔念过无数关于飞翔的故事。

她的故事总是从高空俯瞰描述大地。

她对细节的激情和酷爱使得迈克尔的梦境色彩缤纷、绚丽无比。

迈克尔总是重复做着一个梦。

他在乡间大路上飞奔。

当他奔跑在金色的麦田之间时，总是把开过的机车一路甩在身后。

就在他深深吸上一口气的瞬间，他开始从地面一跃而起，就像一头雄鹰那样开始翱翔。

他飞越的都是母亲故事里描述的地方。

无论他飞向何方，他都怀着母爱所赐予他的自由精神，用敏锐的目光观察入微。

可他的父亲却不是个梦想家。

伯特·斯通是个彻头彻尾的现实主义者。

他信奉的是努力与苦干。

他的格言是：簧键绢谚殉吼莳，腐挣努力工／户／从14岁起，迈克尔就是这么做的。

他开始按非常周密的计划训练。

他每隔一天进行举重训练，其它的日子做些跑步训练。

训练计划由迈克尔的教练、训练员兼父亲严加督导。

迈克尔的投入、执着、自律正是每一个教练所梦寐以求的。

迈克尔在学校是位优秀生，在家是个独生子，但他仍帮助父母在自家的农场上千些杂活。

迈克尔的母亲米尔德里德·斯通希望他能更放松些，还是做那个“自由幻想”的小男孩。

Unit 7 I’d Rather Be Black than Female1. 我是首位当选国会议员的黑人妇女，这使我成了一种独特的现象。

美国国会中还有九位黑人议员，十位女性议员,而我是首位同时逾越双重障碍的议员。

在这两道障碍之中，身为黑人要比身为女人的障碍小很多。

2. 如果我说黑人面对的障碍要比女人更大，大概没有人会怀疑。

这是为什么？因为“众所周知”，美国对黑人有歧视。

若说对女性有歧视，这会令几乎所有男人——恐怕还有大多数女人——都觉得不可思议。

3. 很多年来，多数美国白人对歧视黑人的现象视而不见。

最后，当黑人们通过静坐示威、联合抵制和自由乘车游行等方式“挑起”这个问题时，美国白人觉得惊异万分。

“谁，是我们吗？”他们委屈地问道，“我们在歧视他们？”对美国白人来说，这个漫长痛苦的再教育过程刚刚开始。

很多年以后，白人——包括那些自以为是自由主义者的人——才会发现并消除他们实际存在的种族主义思想。

4. 而消除女性歧视的困难要大多少？我坚信这将是一场更为旷日持久的斗争, 部分原因是，与黑人相比，美国女性不仅被更彻底地洗脑，而且也更加安于她们次等公民的角色。

5. 请允许我解释一下。

我活跃政界二十余年。

除了最后六年，我一直在努力工作——干那些枯燥乏味但却能影响竞选胜负的杂活——可收获奖赏的却是男人，这几乎就是政界女性永远不变的命运。

6. 恰恰又是女性——大约有三百万女性志愿者——在美国政界做着大部分这类工作。

她们中任何人顶多指望能有幸当选区副主席或县副主席。

这种“区分但平等”的职位是一名女性多年任劳任怨地干着装信件、组织牌局之类的杂活之后所能获得的。

最高奖励。

担任此职务之后，她可以享受公费出差、参加州或全国性会议或代表大会的待遇，而她的既定角色就是按男会长的投票方式去投票。

7. 1963年，当我试图突破这种角色，代表布鲁克林的贝德福德·斯图维桑特参加纽约州众议院席位竞选时，遭到了强烈的反对。

竞选伊始，我便遇到了针对我的性别的毫无掩饰的敌意。

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the Englishlanguage: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.U8clozespellstrickenmisfortunessurroundingsblossom/bloommigrantdesertedsilencesickenedhatchpuzzledin harmony withThis village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings.

Unit1One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later.However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon).But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?Unit2Walton set up a college scholarship fund for employees' children, a disaster relief fund to rebuild employee homes damaged by fires, floods, tornadoes, and the like. He believed in cultivating ideas and rewarding success."He'd say, 'That fellow worked hard, let's give him a little extra,'" recalls retired president Ferold F. Arend, who was stunned at such generosity after the stingy employer he left to join Wal-Mart. "I had to change my way of thinking when I came aboard.""The reason for our success," says Walton, in a company handout, "is our people and the way they're treated and the way they feel about their company. They believe things are different here, but they deserve the credit."Adds company lawyer Jim Hendren: "I've never seen anyone yet who worked for him or was around him for any length of time who wasn't better off. And I don't mean just financially, although a lot of people are. It's just something about him -- coming into contact with Sam Walton just makes you a better person."Making the journey from log cabin to White House is part of the American Dream. But when Jimmy Carter was defeated in his attempt to gain a second term as President of the United States he found himself suddenly thrown out of the White House and back in his log cabin. This is how he coped.Unit3SEAN: If that sort of thing happened only once in a while, it wouldn't be so bad. Overall, I wouldn't want to trade my dad for anyone else's. He loves us kids and Mom too. But I think that's sometimes the problem. He wants to do things for us, things he thinks are good. But he needs to give them more thought because:SEAN, HEIDI and DIANE: (In unison) Father knows better!(The lights quickly fade to black and then come up a second or two later. DIANE stands alone at the Down Right edge of the stage. HEIDI and SEAN enter Down Left and cross to the edge of the stage. )DIANE: Can you imagine how humiliated I was? An honor student, class president. And Father was out asking people to have their sons call and ask me to the prom! But that's dear old dad. Actually, he is a dear. He just doesn't stop to think. And it's not just one of us who've felt the heavy hand of interference. Oh, no, all three of us live in constant dread knowing that at any time disaster can strike because: Father knows better.Unit4I'd never realized how important daily routine is: dressing for work, sleeping normal hours. I'd never thought I relied so much on co-workers for company. I began to understand why long-term unemployment can be so damaging, why life without an externally supported daily plan can lead to higher rates of drug abuse, crime, suicide.To restore balance to my life, I force myself back into the real world. I call people, arrange to meet with the few remaining friends who haven't fled New York City. I try to at least get to the gym, so as to set apart the weekend from the rest of my week. I arrange interviews for stories, doctor's appointments -- anything to get me out of the house and connected with others.But sometimes being face to face is too much. I see a friend and her ringing laughter is intolerable -- the noise of conversation in the restaurant, unbearable. I make my excuses and flee. I re-enter my apartment and run to the computer as though it were a place of safety.I click on the modem, the once-annoying sound of the connection now as pleasant as my favorite tune. I enter my password. The real world disappears.Thought you were safe sharing secrets with Internet friends? Wait for the doorbell...Unit5The runway felt different this time. It startled him for a brief moment. Then it all hit him like a wet bale of hay. The bar was set at nine inches higher than his personal best. That's only one inch off the National record, he thought. The intensity of the moment filled his mind with anxiety. He began shaking the tension. It wasn't working. He became more tense. Why was this happening to him now, he thought. He began to get nervous. Afraid would be a more accurate description. What was he going to do? He had never experienced these feelings. Then out of nowhere, and from the deepest depths of his soul, he pictured his mother. Why now? What was his mother doing in his thoughts at a time like this? It was simple.His mother always used to tell him when you felt tense, anxious or even scared, take deep breaths.So he did. Along with shaking the tension from his legs, he gently laid his pole at his feet. He began to stretch out his arms and upper body. The light breeze that was once there was now gone. He carefully picked up his pole. He felt his heart pounding. He was sure the crowd did, too. The silence was deafening. When he heard the singing of some distant birds in flight, he knew it was his time to fly.Unit6Racing the clock every day is such an exhausting effortthat when I actually have a few free moments, I tend to collapse. Mostly I sink into a chair and stare into space while I imagine how lovely life would be if only I possessed the organizational skills and the energy of my superheroines. In fact, I waste a good deal of my spare time just worrying about what other women are accomplishing in theirs. Sometimes I think that these modern fairy tales create as many problems for women as the old stories that had us biding our time for the day our prince would come.Yet superwomen tales continue to charm me. Despite my friend's warning against being taken in, despite everything I've learned, I find that I'm not only willing, but positively eager to buy that bridge she mentioned. Why? I suppose it has something to do with the appeal of an optimistic approach to life -- and the fact that extraordinary deeds have been accomplished by determined individuals who refused to believe that "you can't" was the final word on their dreams.Men have generally been assured that achieving their heart's desires would be a piece of cake. Women, of course, have always believed that we can't have our cake and eat it too-the old low-dream diet. Perhaps becoming a superwoman is an impossible dream for me, but life without that kind of fantasy is as unappealing as a diet with no treats.1) The young woman described to the policemen the way the man ran up to her and grabbed the bag from her hand. 2) All the people working for Sam Walton admire the way he manages Wal-Mart and the way he treats his employees. 3) The neighbors were disgusted at the way he talked to his old father.4) It's amazing the way the eight-year-old boy managed to stay so calm when he faced the emergency.1. You will find yourself penniless in a month.2. He found himself lying in a hospital ward.3. She found herself faced with the toughest job she had ever taken.4. Susan found herself in a trap from which she could not escape.1) Obviously what the speaker wanted to emphasize was the impact of these findings rather than the process that led to these findings.2) It seems that he is never bothered about what people would think about his behavior.3) The CEO never hesitates to let his employees know what he is planning for the company.4) The scientist will show the audience what a tele-operated robot can do for a family.5)Despite all this she manages to get her act together.1、She herself believed in freedom,so much so that she would rather die than live without it.2、Assuming the proposal is accepted,where are we going to get the money?3、Only by rewarding success can you bring out the best in your employess.4、It’s amazing the eight-year-old boy managed to stay so calm when he faced the emergency.5、Allen should have known better than to lend such a large sum of money to that untrustworthy cousin of his.。

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabularyof English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

1.1Jim Doherty may not be a born farmer , but he gets buy without too much trouble. Not that he has had it easy. That first hard winter he faced must have left him with the temptation to give up and go back to the city. But he managed to get through it without losing heart. He’s picked up a lot of skills since then and made some real improvements to his farm, though without much laborsaving machinery aside from that old rotary cultivator. I suspect he doesn’t make all that much, though he does have his writing to supplement what little profit he makes from the farm. I guess he does it primarily for the quality of life. Certainly, they seem a happy family and you can often see them out working together, one day spraying apple trees, the next stacking firewood.1.2A homesteader (自耕农) is a person who lives a self-reliant lifestyle with major emphasis on home production. while the Industrial Age is being replaced by information and electronics, some people try to seek an escape from the social, environmental, and economic madness of the modern age and begin to consider returning to the country. As this lifestyle is so enjoyable, satisfying and rewarding, more and more people are prepared to quit their job in the city and start a new and more meaningful life on their various farms. For some it has become not only a way of life, but a way of looking at the world.Of course, life in the country can be pretty tough. While it is an enjoyment to be so close to Nature, you may have to reduce your dependence on fuels by cutting back on your daily consumption. You may also have to prepare your own meals every day and provide your own low-cost entertainment without the luxuries that are common in cities. On balance, however, living in the country has long been a part of the American Dream. Generations of Americans have considered the country an ideal setting in which to live and raise a family2.1The underground Railroad was forged by the efforts of those who were prepared to fight against slavery and stand up for the long-suffering Southern black Americans. Some of those who helped to transport slaves to the north and freedom were former slaves themselves. Others felt compelled to take part because of their deeply held convictions .For many of those involved, liberating the slaves from those who exploited them because a mission. While their eventual goal was to abolish slavery completely, in the meantime they were intent on helping to free as many slaves as possible, often at considerable risk. In the eyes of slave owners, they were dangerous enemies and frequently received death threats2.2Despite the name, the Underground Railroad was not really a railroad, but was a network of people who assisted fugitive slaves. Many fugitives who escaped to theNorth and Canada received assistance along the way from individuals who were involved in this network. By the early 19th century, the organization became so successful that it is estimatedthat that between 1810 and 1850,100,000 slaves escaped from the South through the Underground Railroad.It was not a(n) coincidence that it was called the Underground Railroad. Steam railroads had just emerged and the terms used to describe the people who helped and the fugitives were related to the railroad line. Fugitive slaves were called "parcels" and "passengers", the helpers were the "conductors", the people who provided their homes as refuge were called "stationmasters," and the homes were referred to as "depots" or "stations".The route used was an important part of a successful escape. There were numerous secret routes that a conductor could use.The one used depended on where the search parties and slave catchers were stationed . Some trips required the use of many different routes. I f it appeared that they might be in danger, a guide would change paths. Some guides and fugitives even hid out in bushes and swamps for many days until it was safe to continue on. Quickness was not the main concern , instead safety was most important and as a result they often zigzagged in order to avoid capture3.1Statistics show that crime in rural areas is now rising faster than in the cities.Th e era when the countryside stood for safety and secutity has long gong.No longer is it safe anywhere to go out leaving the door on the latch.We all feel vnlnerable and seek to strengthen the barriers we use to hold criminals at bay.These can r ange from old fashioned bolts and bars to the latest electronic devices.A moment’s reflection,however,is enough to bring us face to face with the following puzzle:w e may have locked the evils out,but in doing so we have locked ourselves in.this har dly seems a civilized way of life.3.2Statistics show that at some point in your life, you will get robbed. Things get even worse for apartment dwellers because so many people pass in and out of an apartment building, and it is much tougher to keep non-residents out.So what to do? Don't panic. Yes, apartments are liable to robbery, but there are options other than barricading yourself in your apartment with a shotgun. We suggest that you use some common sense to shift that target from your door. Then the burglar will rob the less guarded, not you.We know what you're thinking: "I' ll never get robbed. Who'd want to steal a half can of Diet Coke and an electric toothbrush?" If those really are the only things in your apartment, you have every reason not to worry. However, if you have something you'd like to keep - say, a TV, a stereo, a computer, a Picasso - it's wise to be cautious .Your goal is not to set up any sophisticated security systems to hold thieves at bay; your goal is to keep crimi nals from even trying to break into your apartment inthe first place. I f someone really wants to break in, chances are that he/she is going to find a way by breaking a window or climbing up the fire escape. Therefore, you should remove all signs that say, "Hey, look at me! Lots of goodies and no security! Come on in! " Lock the door when you leave. Don't leave the windows open all day long. Don't tape notes on the door directed to your mate reading "Gone all day! Left the door unlocked for you! " Just use your brains!4.1Einstein’s teacher should have had a little more caution before he came to the conclusion that his pupil would never get anywhere in life. Probably he was irritated by the thought that the young Einstein was undermining his position. And certainly it is true that Einstein did not give/care a fig for authority. However,far from being a flaw in Einstein is character,this proved ,beyond any doubt ,to be one of his greatest strengths. It was on this foundation,combined with the remarkable power of his remarkable/imagination,that his great achievements were built.4.2Imagining is not dreaming. Maybe to a(n) extent but it is more than that. Imagining is being creative. We owe all the inventions and developments to imagination, without which, I bet we would still be cavemen. Knowledge is important but imagination is even more important.Imagination deals with the future and knowledge deals with the past. Imagination creates and knowledge manages. Imagination breaks the norm and knowledge maintains the status quo. A leader needs imagination to create a vision . A manager needs knowledge to operate the organization. An organization with only managers will be obsolete eventually .Not only is it important in business. Imagination is required to solve problems that mankind have, and move humans to a higher level of achievement and well being. How are we going to solve global warming? How are we going to eradicate poverty? We need imagination to come out with the solutions.Einstein wouldn't have realized the theory of relativity if he had not utilized his imagination. In any field, if you are a leader, you need to imagine, for the breakthrough .5.1alex Haley was at sea when he started thinking how best he could mark Thanksgivi ng.Turning over the meaning of the holiday in his mind,he came to reverse the or der of the words and got to thinking about giving thanks.How,he wondered,could he repay those who had been so helpful to him in the past?It seemde to him that t he best way he could express his gratitude would be to write to them.For too long h e had gone about without troubling to tell them how much he appreciated all that th ey had done for him.Before long he had assembled pen and paper and was immers ed in writing.Not long after the ship reached port,unloading its cargo together with his letters.The replies were not swift in arriving,but when they did,he found the m deeply moving5.2Wake up each day and give gratitude for what you have. Instead (1) of giving any thought at all to what you do not have in your life, just spend as much time as you possibly can each day giving thanks for all of the people, opportunities, material possessions (2), good health and any other things that you have in your life that make it so good. It is said that we take so much for granted that we sometimes forget to be thankful for the small things that make our lives so much richer (3). If you have ever been out of breath (4) or under water for too long, the next breaths you take are that much sweeter.Tell others how much you love and cherish(5) them every chance you get. You may never see someone again so you always want to leave them by telling them just how special (6) they are to you. When you are telling them how much you care about them and how thankful you are for having them in your life, give them specific (7) examples of what you love about them the most.Take the time to appreciate every little thing in your life. When the sun is s hining (8), the grass is wet beneath your feet and your dog is barking, give thanks for these small miracles (9). Every moment we have is a gift (10). Use your time to show and tell others how important and special they are. Giving someone your time and kind words is the greatest gift of all.6.1I had only known Johnsy a few months when she fell victim to the disease.We had met in May and,finding ourselves so much in tune,had set up home together.Then, in November,she became ill.Scarcely able to speak in a,she seemed unable to cling to life.It was such a change.Before she had always been so lively andmerry.Now she just sat up in bed,staring out of the window.She had this strange b elief that once the last leaf on the vine outside fell,she would die.I told her it was all nonsense,but to no effect.It was our downstairs neighbor,Mr.Behrman,who came to her rescue.When he h eard of Johnsy’s strange fancy he flew into a fierce temper,regarding it as a sin that o ne so young should give up life so easily.Thanks to Behrman,the last leaf never did te at night he had climbed up and painted the leaf on the wall.It was his long-promised masterpiece6.2Five years ago a female inmate (犯人) at Riker's Island told Jane Paley that she smelled wonderful. As president of Friendly Visitors, a 50-year-old organization whose mission(1) is "acts of loving kindness that don't involve(2) large sums ofmoney or hours of work," Paley frequently went to the New York City jail (3). That day, though, a spray of perfume (香水) went off in her head.Her group had long donated (捐赠) money so that the 100 women in the jail could buy food and treats. Why not (4) give them fancy toiletries (化妆用品) too?Paley and her crew of 35 women figured out the perfect way to get the goods: They asked friends to collect (5) hotel soaps, shampoos and lotions when they travel. Volunteers bundle them into goody bags and deliver (6) them to Riker's several times a year, including Christmas and Mother's Day."These mini-donations make the women feel beautifu(7)," says Paley. "You can see them turn themselves around a little bit."So, Paley continues, "If you're lucky enough to afford a vacation (8), take the soap and shampoos. Bring them to homeless shelters, battered women shelters or any organization in need (9). It's a small (10) act that may mean a great deal."7.1It's been a long day and I'm glad to be back home and get the weight off my feet(1). Not that I've finished yet, there are still all those orders (订单) to type up andI must remember to add my signature (2) to my claim (索取) for commission(3)before I post it off. Otherwise, my firm will be on the phone (4) to me about it. Notthat they have much to complain about. I always manage to sell quite a lot, except that time I was laid up (5) after surgery(6). I'm the only representative the firm has out on the streets nowadays and I still manage to cover a large territory (7) despite my disorder (8). It's hard work and long hours, no time to linger in bed in the mornings,Yet, I've never regretted applying for(9) the job all those years ago. Supporting myself enables me to keen my dignity (10).7.2imagine how you would fill in 24 hours a day, every day, if you didn't have to work. There you go - off to the beach in summer, the movies in winter, watch T.V. on rainy days, go skating or horse riding, read a lot of books or magazines, sleep . . .But would you? Where would the money come from to pay your bus fares, to get into the movies, to buy your T.V. or to pay for the electricity, or buy your skates and books?Let's say that money grew on trees, and that no-one had to worry about that "small" problem. Now you can do all those things... right?Probably not, because if no-one had to worry about earning money, then who would bother driving your bus to the beach -for that matter, who would bother building your bus, or making your movies, skates, books, etc.? Why would they have to?What you'd probably end up doing would be spending most of your time out in the fields growing your own food, or looking after your cows for milk and meat, yoursheep for clothing, growing bamboo for the walls of your humpy.Why would you need to do this? Because no-one else would need to do it to earn money, because money grew on trees - right?Obviously, money in that sort of society doesn't really exist, and is of no value to the people...8.18.2Since Dolly came into existence, scientists and politicians have been worrying about the prospect(1) that it will soon be possible to clone humans, too. The debate centers on two types of cloning: reproductive, with the intention (2) of_producing a baby, and therapeutic (治疗的), with the aim of creating a source of “embryonic”stem cells (干细胞) that might replace diseased organs of the body.Cloning has both strong supporters and fierce critics. Despite(3) the deeply held moral and technological objections of many people, human cloning took a small step forward this week with an announcement by researchers that they had successfully created a human embryo through cloning,_for the purpose of developing(4) stem cells. They are not the first to lay claim to such a feat, but they are the first to publish (5) their findings. Their work was promptly condemned (6) by President George Bush, who said it was morally wrong, and by the Vatican, among (7)many others.From a technical standpoint(8), such strong opposition seems out of line with the slender scientific significance of this development. The researchers used what has become standard(9) cloning method in animals. This is to remove the nucleus (核) containing genetic material from a donor egg, and replace it with the nucleus of another cell. The resulting stem cells would then be genetically identical to the donor, avoiding problems of rejection(10) when they are returned to the patient in treatment.。

新标准⼤学英语综合教程2Unit7课⽂翻译Unit 7Active reading (1)保护瑟伦要去⽇本学⽊⼯⼿艺，临⾛前他问我能否收留他的狗霍根。

我说：“当然可以，它可以保护我。

”最近我们家附近常有抢劫案发⽣，我在马塞诸塞州的房⼦北⾯靠湖，西⾯被树林环绕，晚上坏⼈可以神不知⿁不觉地溜进来。

瑟伦哈哈⼤笑。

他说：“有陌⽣⼈进门时，霍根也不⼀定会叫。

如果来了个夜贼，他或许还会去舔他。

”不过，霍根感觉到他跟我的关系与他跟瑟伦的关系有所不同。

瑟伦体格强壮，⽽且相对来说⽐较勇敢，他并不需要太多的保护。

匆忙赶路时，瑟伦会像抱⼩孩那样⼀下⼦把霍根抱到⽪卡的货箱上。

我可抱不动他，我的体重和霍根差不多，⽽且他还⽐我年轻⼒壮。

作为⼥⼈，我所⾯临的危险是瑟伦和霍根根本不可能知道的。

在我这⾥⽣活了⼀周之后，只要⼀有陌⽣⼈靠近家门，霍根就开始吠叫。

我们之间的保护关系其实早就存在了，起初我是保护者。

瑟伦第⼀次把霍根托付给我看管时，他Animal plane t Unit 7225还只是⼀只七个⽉⼤的⼩狗，它只在我家⾥过了⼀个周末。

那是11 ⽉底⼀个寒冷的早晨，湖⽔刚开始结冰。

湖⾯上的⼀层薄冰能托得住吹落的树叶和细⼩的树枝，但是还太脆弱，远不能承受动物的⽖⼦。

那时我正在后院晾⾐服，长长的晒⾐绳拴在房⼦旁的⼀棵参天橡树和湖边的⼀棵云杉之间。

⼀条淡蓝⾊的床单随风飘起，眼看着就要掠过湖⾯飞上天空。

当我奋⼒地⽤⾐服夹⼦夹床单时，霍根正在我腿边玩得⽓喘嘘嘘，⼀段两英尺长的橡树枝成了他的宝贝，被他叼来叼去。

由于⼀⼼只想着揪住床单，让它平整伏贴地悬挂在晒⾐绳上，我⼼不在焉地捡起那段树枝，朝⼭坡下将我们家院⼦与湖⽔隔开的围栏⽅向扔了过去。

我以前也经常这样为他扔⽊头。

根据⽊头的不同重量和我的动作的⼤⼩，我知道它们⼤概能飞多远。

但这块⽊头赶上了⼀阵疾风，朝着床单想去的⽅向飞过了院⼦，越过了围栏，最后以溜冰⾼⼿般的优美动作滑进湖⽔⾥。

我抬头⼀看，只见霍根飞速穿过院门，以⼀个漂亮的飞跃撞破薄冰，落⼊⽔中，他差⼀点就够得着那段⽊头了。
