The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers’ personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that “seeing the calligrapher’s handwriting is like seeing the person”. As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world’s treasure house of culture and art.Unit 2 College-The ladder to successText A The humanities:Out of date?Reading Comprehension1. because English or history majors are considered less competitive when thejob market is shrinking, and they have to study something that can help them more easily locate their future jobs.2. because as the tuition is climbing higher and higher, many students have run away from studying the humanities and toward “hard” skills that they think will lead to employment.3. since more students are now taking job-oriented courses, libraries, where students of liberal arts used to study, are getting less popular than before; in contrast, labs are getting more eye-catching because students of science and engineering do experiments and research there.4. because this inner drive that can be either constructive or destructive is so mysterious and powerful that it has attracted many people to speculate on it. From ancient times, these men and women developed artistic “languages” in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions, which from the very foundation of civilization.5. Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write, makes you familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process, and, more importantly, provides you with a wide scope of possibilities that are open to you.6. Because in modern life, an ideal capacity for establishing one’s career is to have both technical knowledge and inner insight, not just one without the other.7. “Well-rounded human beings” are those who have insight and understand the passions, hopes and dreams common to all humanity.8. Since many people who once studied the humanities became famous in their career, the author implies that if students spend more time studying the humanities, they could surely become successful in the future as well.

Many universities have set up their own digital learning platforms, and digitalteaching is playing an increasingly important role in education. Compared withthe traditional way of teaching, the digital way has a lot of advantages. Onone hand, digital teaching makes global sharing of teaching resources possible;on the other hand, it expands the learner’s study time and space to learn,allowing people to get access to the digital virtual schools through theInternet anytime and anywhere. These advantages make it possible for people toshift from one-time learning to lifelong learning.Unit 3 Discovery of a new life stageText A The humanities:Out of date?Ex.11. Because people in different life stages are confronted with differentproblems and setbacks and each group of people in a particular time period havetheir particular worries and pains.2.The norm refers to the general consensus that as soon as students graduatedfrom college, they would enter adulthood and be able to find an ideal jobleading to their career.3. They are recognized as a new life stage that comes after high school graduation, continues through college and leads to starting a family and havinga career.4. Because nowadays so many young people are following this new lifestyle thatit has become a trend. As long as the economic situation continues its longslide, this new stage is unavoidable.5. Unlike their parents, a large number of young people are now delayingmarriage, child bearing, and even employment during their odyssey years.6. They often resent the pressure they’re feeling and keep a distance fromtheir parents or even run away from home. Many also resort to computer games,iPods, iPhones, or iPads.7. Their parents feel more anxious and upset seeing their children’s odysseyyears continue to stretch without a clear direction.8. The author thinks as people are getting to know the odyssey years better,both parents and their children can tackle this phase better. For parents, theycan understand their children more; for children, they can explore and discoverthemselves with a positive attitude.Ex.31. peculiar2. radical3. phase4. sensible5.predict 6. labeled 7. resent 8. witnessed 9.equivalent 10. parallelsEx.4-ic Chaotic dramatic academy -ion Depression detection erosion Classification confusecooperate dictate -ist Rightist journal Ex.51. journal2. chaotic3. cooperate4. erosion5. dramatic6. confuse7. academy8. rightists9. depression 10. dictate 11. detection 12. classificationEx. 6K E A C L I G N H OEx.71. saddled with2. back off3. gives way to4. resortedto 5. make allowances for 6. wonder at 7. prior to 8. based upon/onEx. 10Filial piety is the basic code of ethics in the ancient Chinese society. Chinese people consider filial piety as the essence of a person’s integrity, family harmony, and the nation’s well-being. With filial piety being the coreof Confucian ethics, it has been the moral standard for the Chinese society to maintain the family relationship for thousands of years. It’s undoubtedly a traditional Chinese virtue. The culture of filial piety is a complex concept,rich in content and wide in range. It concludes not only cultural ideas but also institutional etiquettes. Generally speaking, it refers to the obligationof children to their parents required by the society, including respect, care, support for the elderly and so forth. Filial piety is fundamental to the ancient “Oriental civilization”.Unit 4 Dance with loveText A College sweetheartsEx. 11. The author uses this sentence to tell her own love story. She didn’t expectthat she would end up marrying Butch. He became her boyfriend just because ofher wish to find a cute boyfriend. She didn’t really want to marry him at the beginning.2. Because when she met up with Butch the first time, he kept staring at herall night long. He flattered her and fell in love with her at first sight. Helooked really wild or maybe even dangerous.3. Because Butch had a “bad boy image” which was very tempting to a lot ofgirls, and his wild, dynamic personality was a little frightening. She didn’tknow whether she could be getting along with him.4. Though she always had an excellent reputation in respect to her schoolwork,she thought that her college life was dull, with no fun. In her opinion,college was supposed to be a time of great learning and also of some fun.5. Because she was becoming more interested in him and she wanted to find outif she was the “right” date in the eyes of Butch, thinking of herself as a traditional girl.6. It means that Butch didn’t want to do anything to change his bad situation.The word fate here refers to the fact that Butch was going to be expelled fromthe university.7. Though Butch was wild and would sometimes display directly his love in frontof her friends, he was always a perfect gentleman at his core. And they had apure and responsible relationship for seven years.8.

Every year, some big businesses organizevarious activities, and young people send gifts to their lovers. As a result,the Qixi Festival is considered to be Chinese “Valentine’s Day”. The QixiFestival is derived from the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid. The legendholds that on this particular night every year the Weaving Maid in heaven meetswith Cowherd. So, people can see Cowherd and Weaving Maid meeting in the MilkyWay on the night of Qixi. On this night, girls would also beg Weaving Maid forsome wisdom for a happy marriage. But, with the changing of times, theseactivities are diminishing. All that remains is the legend of Cowherd andWeaving Maid, a sign of faithful love, continuously circulated among the folk.Unit5 The money gameText A Spend or save-The student’s dilemmaEx.31. contradict2. paradox3. perspective4. explicit5. suspended6. derive7. defy8. retains9. manipulating 10. tackleEx4-er browse browsermessage messenger consumer consume -ion negotiate negotiation object objection react reaction constitute constitution cultivate cultivation define definition expand expansion concentration concentrate civilization civilizeEx.51. concentrated2. messenger3. civilized4.

This trade route focuses on the trade of silk, hence the name “the Silk Road”. As an international trade channel and a bridge of cultural exchanges, the Silk Road effectively improved the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, exerting a profound impact on the progress of the world civilization. Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country proposes the strategy of “One Belt, One Road”(namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road). The strategy of “One Belt, One Road” focuses on cooperation and mutual benefits, emphasizing mutual benefits, win-win, as well as common development of the related countries. Once proposed, the strategy has received positiveresponses from the related countries along the road.Unit6 Less is moreText A Door closer,are you?Reading comprehension Understanding the text11 He was imposing on his troops a necessary sacrifice to achieve victory over their opponents. By doing this, the soldiers would be more determined and concentrated on the battles.2 The purpose for the experiment is to investigate seemingly irrational human behavior when making a decision, such as the tendency for keeping multiple options open.3 The experiment enabled people to see why it's always so hard for them to say "NO" to any opportunities that came to them. In everyday life, people just give excuses to keep options open.4 Students should quickly check all the doors and keep clicking on the one with the highest cash. They should absolutely ignore the vanishing doors.5 Because we can see that the students didn't really focus on ensuring future cash earnings. What they tried to avoid was the immediate pain of watching options close.6 Because in life the doors are closing slowly, not like the ones on the computer in the experiment, people don't really see the opportunities actually vanishing away little by little.7 He suggests that people should prohibit overbooking, reduce options, delegate tasks to others, and even give away ideas to others to pursue.8 People can obtain pleasure and satisfaction by focusing their energy and attention in a more concentrated fashion. They will have more with fewer, carefully chosen options.31 implement2 rival3 motivating4 discarded5 fluctuating6 prejudiced7 restore8 enlightening9 profit 10 investigateWord building 4 Words learned New words formed-ic strategy strategic sympathy sympathetic -ion confirm confirmationlocate location reflect reflection provide provisioninstall installation register registrationquotation quote -ize sympathy sympathize critic criticize industrial industrialize51 sympathize2 confirmation3 strategic 4installation 5 quote 6 sympathetic 7 criticize 8 location 9 reflection 10 industrialize 11 provision 12 registration Banked cloze61 M2 D3 H4 05 F6 L7 I8 C9 J 10 AExpressions in use 7I was attached to 2 be measured in 3 come in handy 4 clinging to 5pay a big price 6 are exhausted from 7 imposed on 8 revolve around10National Happiness Index (NHI) is an index that measures how happy people are.It is also a tool that measures the levels of economic development and people'slivelihood and happiness in a country or region.

The governmentstresses improvement of its people's livelihood, striving to improve theireconomic conditions and meet their growing material and cultural needs.Currently, the Chinese government advocates the unleashing of more reformdividends, with the aim of offering more real benefits to its people.

Embroidery, with at least two or three thousand years of history, is one of the Chinese traditional folk arts and crafts. Since most embroiderers are women, it's also called "women's needlework". Embroidery has been much-loved by the Chinese people. It can be used to beautify clothing and things. For example, clothes, quilts, pillowcases etc. can be embroidered withbeautiful designs, or a piece of embroidery can be made for a special ornament. There are four most famous types of embroidery in China: Suxiu from Suzhou, Yuexiu from Guangdong, Xiangxiu from Hunan, and Shuxiu from Sichuan, each having its own style and theme. Among the four, Suzhou embroidery has enjoyed the highest reputation.Unit 8 Human rights vs. Animal rightsText A Animals or children?-A scientist’s choice understanding the text:1. He became a children’s doctor because of this love for children and his strong desire to keep them healthy.2. He is thought of having no moral compass: He tortures innocent animals for his career advancement and his experiments having nothing to do with medicine.3. The public barely watches, convinced that the issue has no significance to them, while the senator and politicians continue to give way to the lobbying of animal rights activists4. The author does not really admit their mistake, but the tone is apparently ironic, criticizing that the physicians were too soft to respond to the animal rights activists.5. Life is cruel to both animals and human beings . if the physician don’t create an animal model of the problem, they have to do experiments on human beings, or the medical knowledge will remain static.6. Drugs to cure infection will remain undiscovered, surgical and diagnostic techniques will remain undeveloped, and fundamental biological processes will remain mysteries.7. Because protection from serious sickness and drugs as well as most complex surgical procedures were initially developed in animals instead of human beings8. If the more radical members of this movement are successful in threateningfurther research, their efforts will bring about a tragedy that will cost thelives of many human beings.

新视野大学英语第三版读写教程第二册Unit2在大学英语的学习进程中，新视野大学英语第三版读写教程第二册的 Unit2 宛如一扇通向知识与思考的新窗口。

这个单元的主题丰富多样，涵盖了语言学习的多个层面，不仅提升了我们的语言技能，更引导我们对人生、社会和自我进行深入的思考。

首先，从词汇方面来看，Unit2 引入了一系列实用且具有一定难度的单词和短语。

这些词汇不仅在日常生活中时有出现，在学术领域也有着广泛的应用。

通过课文中的语境和课后的练习，我们能够更加准确地理解它们的含义和用法。

例如，“obstacle”（障碍）这个词，在描述人们实现目标过程中所面临的困难时非常精准；“perseverance”（坚持不懈）则激励着我们在面对挑战时保持坚定的信念。

掌握这些词汇，就如同为我们的语言表达增添了更多精确和生动的工具。

语法部分，Unit2 着重讲解了一些复杂的句子结构和时态的运用。

其中，虚拟语气的学习让我们能够更准确地表达假设、愿望和与事实相反的情况。

例如，“If I were you, I would take that job”（如果我是你，我会接受那份工作。

）通过这样的句子，我们能够清晰地传达出假设的情境和态度。

另外，对于定语从句和状语从句的深入学习，也使我们在写作和口语表达中能够更自如地组织复杂的信息，让语言更加流畅和富有逻辑。

在课文内容方面，Unit2 所选取的文章题材广泛且富有深度。

有的文章讲述了个人在追求梦想过程中的艰辛与奋斗，让我们深刻体会到成功并非偶然，而是需要付出持续的努力和克服重重困难。

还有的文章探讨了社会现象，引发我们对社会问题的关注和思考。

比如，其中一篇关于教育公平的文章，让我们意识到在不同地区和社会阶层之间，教育资源的分配存在着不均衡的现象，从而激发我们对如何改善这种状况的思考。

在阅读技巧方面，Unit2 着重培养了我们的快速阅读和细节理解能力。

通过快速浏览文章的标题、段落首句和关键词，我们能够在短时间内把握文章的主旨大意。

Text A课文 AThe humanities: Out of date?人文学科：过时了吗？When the going gets tough, the tough takeaccounting. When the job market worsens, manystudents calculate they can't major in English orhistory. They have to study something that booststheir prospects of landing a job.当形势变得困难时，强者会去选学会计。

当就业市场恶化时，许多学生估算着他们不能再主修英语或历史。

他们得学一些能改善他们就业前景的东西。

The data show that as students have increasingly shouldered the ever-rising c ost of tuition,they have defected from the study of the humanities and toward applied science and "hard"skills that they bet will lead to employment. In oth er words, a college education is more andmore seen as a means for economic betterment rather than a means for human betterment.This is a trend that i s likely to persist and even accelerate.数据显示，随着学生肩负的学费不断增加，他们已从学习人文学科转向他们相信有益于将来就业的应用科学和“硬”技能。

Unit 2College—The ladder to success?Under s tanding and LearningO v erviewThis unit addresses the topic of the value of higher education, which is mainly centered on young people who are facing bewilderment in educational choices. We hope that students will realize the significance of the h umanities, with which students can gain more insights into life and society and be aware of cultural and religious differences.Text A advocates that by taking courses in the humanities, students are likely to grow into good people.Text B opposes getting a college education only for a future career, an extreme thinking driven by the economic downturn.Section AThe humanities: Out of date?Background information1. the humanitiesThe humanities are a group of academic disciplines that study the human condition, using methods that are primarily analytical, critical, or speculative. Therefore, they are distinguished from the approaches of the natural sciences. The humanities, called social sciences, include history, anthropology, communication studies, cultural studies, law, language, literature, philosophy, religion, music and theater, etc. Through exploration of the humanities, students learn how to think creatively and critically, to reason, and to ask questions. Because these skills allow students to gain new insights into everything from poetry and paintings to business models and politics, humanistic subjects have been at the heart of a liberal arts education. Today, humanistic knowledge continues to provide the ideal foundation for exploring and understanding the human experience.2. self-awarenessSelf-awareness isn’t a quality that you demonstrate by telling a story, but rather it has to do with how you tell the story and your ability to communicate what you learned. Being able to explain to the admissions committee why you value one accomplishment above others, what you learned from a setback, or the deeper meaning of your career goals, is evidence of self-awareness. Furthermore, the self-aware individual has knowledge of both his strengths and weaknesses.3. James CameronWorld-famous director of the movie, Titanic. The film received 14 Academy Award nominations and was awarded 11 Oscars.4. Sally RideAn American physicist and a former NASA astronaut. In 1983, at age 32, she became thefirst American woman and then youngest American to enter space.5. Bruce LeeA Chinese-American actor, martial arts instructor, philosopher, film director, film producer,and screenwriter. He was considered the most influential martial artist and a cultural icon. Born in San Francisco, he was raised in Hong Kong until his late teens. He moved back to the United1。

新视野大学英语第二册读写教程课文翻译Unit 1 Text A An impressive Engli lsesson标题: 一堂难忘的英语课1. 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。

对他而言，我是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。

2. 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。

这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。

我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何？”3.她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！”4. 没了。

所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。

5. 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。

学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're 之间的不同，或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。

由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。

6. 学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。

举例来说，杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary（静止处），虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery（文具用品）并没有被钉在那儿。

朋友和亲人常宣称They've just ate。

实际上，他们应该说They've just eaten。

因此，批评学生不合乎清理。

7. 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。

学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。

可相反，学校只教零星的语法，高级词汇更是少之又少。

还有就是，学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识，因为他们过去也没接触过。

学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通，可他们并没把语言的基本框架一一准确的语法和恰当的词汇一一充分地传授给学生。

U2 AA child's clutter awaits an adult's return儿时百宝箱老大归家梦I watch her back her new truck out of the driveway. The vehicle is too large, too expensive. She'd refused to consider a practical car with good gas efficiency and easy to park. It's because of me, I think. She bought it to show me that she could. 我看着她在车道上倒着她的新卡车。

车太大，而且太贵。

她就是不愿意考虑买辆开起来省油、停起来省心的实用型汽车。

我想，原因在我。

她买这辆车就是为了让我看看她的能耐。

"I'm 18," she'd told me so often that my teeth ached. "I am an adult!"“我18 岁了，”她经常这样对我说，以至于听得我牙都疼了。

“我是成年人了！”I thought, is that true? Just yesterday you watched some cartoons. What changed between yesterday and today?我心想，真的吗？昨天你还在看动画片呢。

今天和昨天又能有多大的变化？Today she's gone, off to be an adult far away from me. I'm glad she's gone. It means she made it, and that I'm finally free of 18 years of responsibilities. And yet I wonder if she could take good care of herself.今天她走了，远离我去寻求成年人的独立。
