The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and many of the specific things his father did on his behalf. George's father used to impress on him the need to undergo all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence. He also taught him that nothing in the world could betaken for granted. Even today, George still remembers how his father would quote Aesop's famous saying "Gratitude is the sign of noble souls" and tell him to accord the greatest importance to it.。

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-term and Ion g-term goals. Short-term goals are those that usually deal with curre nt activities, which we can apply on a daily basis.Such goals can be achieved in a week or less or two weeks, or possible mon ths. It should be remembered that just as a build ing is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasi on and the n add new short-term goals that will build on those that have bee n completed.Medium-term goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one semester of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to growand succeed. And as your list of completi on dates grow, your motivati on and desire will in crease. Long- term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Yet life is not a static thing. We should never allow a lon g-term goal to limit us or our course of acti on.1. Our long-term goals do not mean anything __________________• A. unl ess we complete our short-ra nge goalsC B. unl ess we remember them all the timeC C. unl ess we write dow n the datesD. unl ess we put forward some pla ns2. Whenwe complete each step of our goals, ____________________ .C A. we will win final successC B. we are overwhelmed• C. we will build up con fide nee of successD. we should have str ong desire for sett ing new goals3. It is implied but not stated in the passage thatA. those who have lon g-term goals will succeedB. writ ing dow n the dates may discourage you• C. a goal is only a guide for us to reach our desti nati onD. every one should have a goalQuestions 4 to 7 are based on the following passage or dialog.The food we eat seems to have profou nd effects on our health.Although scie nee has made eno rmous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has show n that perhaps 80 per cent of all huma n ill nesses are related to diet and 40 per cent of can cer is related to diet as well, especially can cer of the colon.Differe nt cultures are more likely to cause certa in differe nt illnesses because of the food that is characteristic of these cultures. That food is related to ill ness is not a new discovery .In 1945, gover nment researchers realized that nitrates （硝酸盐）,commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carc inogenic （会致癌的）additives rema in in our food, and itbecomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. Theadditives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often givepenicillin （青霉素）to beef and living animals, and because ofthis, peni cilli n has bee n found in the milk of treated cow.Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for finan cial reas ons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher priceon the market. Although the Food and Drug Admini strati on （FDA）has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices con ti nue.4. What is the best possible title of the passage?C A. Drug and FoodB. Can cer and Health• C. Food and Healthp| D. Health and Drug5. What has scie nee done to mankind?A. Because of scie nee, diseases caused by polluted foodhave n bee n virtually elim in ated.B.

We can always know what are helpful by readi ng thepackag ing labels of processed food.(B. Medicine that animals take is beneficial to the humanbei ngs.C C. The farmers give the ani mals medici ne to make the meat cheaper.• D. The FDA tried to control the medicine given to animals, but they are not very successful.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the following passage or dialog. There is perhaps, no other sport in the world quite as exciting as skiing. For viewers, it is a spectacle of unsurpassed beauty.For skiers, it is a vivid personal experienee, a thrilling testof mind, muscle, and n erves. And more and more, America ns are discovering this thrill for themselves. Not too long ago, skiing had virtually no part in the American sports scene. If it was thought of at all, it was purely as a European sport.Then came the 1932 Win ter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York.America ns got their first good look at skii ng and made for thehills. Today ski trains make regular runs from our cities to the great, white outdoors. Lodges dot the mountain sides offering skiers the warmth of their firesides.In additi on to joy and exciteme nt, skii ng offers other attractions. It is a comparatively inexpensive sport, and, for the you ng, the art of skii ng is ofte n mastered in a very short time.The special thrill of skiing is well described by Buddy Werner. "It is all up to you," he says. "No teammates can help. You're alon e. It's you aga inst the snow, the mountains, yourself.You're a warrior ( 勇士)."8. By the expression "made for the hills" (Para 1), the writermeans that ________________ .C A. America ns took up skii ng• B. America ns all went skii ngC. skii ng became popular only in the mountain areasD. the only place America ns could ski was in the RockyMou ntains9. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?C A. Skii ng has always bee n popular in America.• B. Skii ng has only rece ntly become a popular America n sport.C C. Skii ng can n ever become popular in America.C D. Skii ng has only rece ntly become popular in Europe.10. In 1932, whe n the Win ter Olympics were held at Lake Placid,A. America ns became en thusiastic about the sport• B. America ns saw skii ng for the very first time( C. America ns did not en ter into competiti onC D. America fini shed in last place11. One of the attracti ons for you ng people tak ing up skii ngis that _______________ .A. they can enjoy the warmth of firesides in the lodgesC B. they have teammates while skii ng• C. the skill of skii ng can be mastered in a short timeC D. they can later describe the special thrill of skii nglike Buddy WernerQuestions 12 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, oran ge, andred? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, or an active pers on who enjoys life, people and exciteme nt. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow tha n lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriouslystudying the meaning of colorprefere nces, as well as the effect that colors have on huma nbein gs. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up —we are born with ourprefere nee. If you happe n to love brow n, you did so, as soon as you ope ned your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colors do in flue nee our moods —there is no doubt about it. Ayellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed tha n a dark gree n one; a red dress bri ngs warmth and cheer to the saddest win ter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London,used to be increasing the scene of more suicides than any otherbridge in the area ——un til it was repa in ted gree n. The n umberof suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colors make people not only happier but moreactive. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accide nts whe n their mach ines are pain ted ora nge rather tha n black or grey.12. "You would rather follow than lead" (Para 1) mea nsC A. you do not like to follow others• B. you would like to be a team member rather than a leaderC C. you would be afraid of followi ng othersC D. you would like to be a leader rather than a group member13.

"They tell us, among other facts, that we do not chooseour favorite colors as we grow up." (Para 1) "Am ong otherfacts" means _______________ .A. besides other factsB. i n regard to other factsC. not con sideri ng other facts• D. accord ing to other facts15.

They agree that the long-term effects of global warming will be disastrous for the planet and its inhabitants. What is more, climate change won't be a smooth transition to a warmer world. Some regions will be greatly affected by abrupt climate changes. Enormous areas of densely populated land like coastal Florida would become uninhabitable. Hundreds of millions of residents would have to migrate to safer regions. Therefore, it is no surprise that global warming has made its way onto the agenda of world leaders.译文：我们献上一篇《时代》杂志编辑们撰写的文章，以此开始审视全球气候变暖问题。

What could a woman do in such a (2) decidedlymale-dominated world? They argued.But the (3) motive behind the choice of Simona as the new presenter soon became apparent. Ratherthan change to fit the programme – there is nothing (4) masculine about her – she created a new, moremodern show, the (5) principal aim of which is to entertain the whole family. The old style, lengthy andrather technical analyses of football matches, has been replaced by a lively TV programme, which is(6) animated by guest celebrities, dancers and singers, as well as extracts from the day’s top matches.7 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the following words. You may need to makeother changes.1 Cultural and intellectual programmes tend to be broadcast very late in the evening. (highbrow)2 At the beginning I was very shy, but I soon got to know everyone and made friends. (initially)3 The course I enjoyed most when I was studying linguistics was the one on the relationship betweenwords and meanings. (semantics)4 To find out more about English as a world language, we need reliable people who are able to giveinformation. (informants)5 She sent me a bunch of roses when I got the job, and I did the same when she got promoted.(reciprocated)6 For some men there is still a feeling of embarrassment and unease about taking orders from a femalesuperior. (stigma)7 After the goal was disallowed, most of the words I could hear were swear words. (expletives)8 You can’t speak like that to someone you don’t know. It’s a matter of rules of social behaviour. (etiquette)9 Only after a very careful and time-consuming editing will this book be ready for publication.(exhaustive)8 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 Does scandalous behaviour (a) make you feel uncomfortable, or (b) leave you indifferent?2 If you bemoan something, do you (a) express pleasure, or (b) complain about it?3 If you rake over something, do you (a) want to forget it, or (b) keep talking about it?4 If you are appreciative of something someone has done for you, do you (a) thank them, or (b) criticizethem?5 If a man has an effeminate manner, does he make you think of (a) a child, or (b) a woman?6 Is camp behaviour (a) typical of, or (b) different from established norms about the traditional male wayof doing things?Reading and interpreting9 Check ( ) the writer’s main purposes in writing the passage.√1 to summarize findings from recent researchMost of the passage is taken up with research findings from both the writer and others. If you arenot sure about this, look at how many times words like study, research, findings, found, interviews,interviewed, informants etc are used and read the last two sentences of paragraph five and see howverbs in the past tense in the second part are all reporting research findings!2 to present the writer’s own research findingsThese are clearly included and they are most of the second part, but thisis the main purpose is notto present them – they illustrate how gossip works.3 to dispel a myth about males and gossipThe first part of the text does this, but the second part reports research only about women’s gossip,so No 1 is a better answer.4 to show that women are superior to menNo, the writer does not intend to show this and doesn’t do so.5 to encourage people to learn to gossip properlyNo, the passage is about rules, but these are not the kind that people are supposed to learn but thedescriptive rules that describe common behaviour. There is nothing about encouraging people tobehave like this.6 to draw attention to the different ways in which men and women gossip This is a reasonable answer but the passage is really reporting research (see No 1)7 to analyze the way in which women gossipThis is the point of the second part, but not the main idea of the whole passage.Active reading (2)Marked: women in the workplaceReading and understanding3 Choose the best summary of the passage.1 The English language reflects and reinforces the sexist attitudes of society, whether we consider wordssuch as actress, which is a less serious equivalent of the word actor, or titles we give women, such asMrs, Miss and Ms.This only summarizes the first section, but the title should indicate that a summary would say more thanthis, including the points about hairstyle or clothes.2 Women find it much harder to get on in the workplace because they haveto spend too much timethinking about what clothes to wear, or what hairstyle they should have. This is only one point. It doesn’t summaraize the main idea and examples of language use.3 Women constantly have to make choices about dress and appearance, and even the way they sign theirnames, which lead people to make judgments about them; men do not have to make the same choices.Although this doesn’t emphasize language, it summarizes the main idea of choi ce (marked / unmarked).4 Choose the best answer to the questions.1 Which of the following words is marked?(a) Doctor. (b) Actor.(c) Actress. (d) Poet.2 What does a marked female ending to a word usually convey?(a) Physical attractiveness.(b) A lack of authority.(c) A lack of seriousness.(d) Greater professional competence.3 What did the writer notice at a conference?(a) All the women were dressed in the same way.(b) All the men were dressed in the same way.(c) One of the men wore a cowboy shirt and jeans.(d) None of the women wore sensible shoes.4 What did a woman with high heels do at the conference?(a) She was isolated by her female colleagues.(b) She was the first to complete a group task.(c) She broke one of the heels when she had to make a trek.(d) She took off her shoes and attracted a group of men.5 What did a male colleague tell a female lawyer to do before she went to court?(a) To put on a jacket over her blouse.(b) To do up a button on her blouse.(c) To undo a button on her blouse.(d) To wear something with darker colours.6 What is a woman often asked to do when filling in a form?(a) Choose from four titles.(b) Give both her married and unmarried name.(c) Give information about her married status.(d) Avoid using the title “Dr”.Dealing with unfamiliar words5 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 the place where you work (workplace)2 to mean something (denote)3 to make something or someone become gradually less effective, confident, or successful(undermine)4 to think that something is true because it is likely, although you cannot be certain (presume)5 a regular and important part or feature of something (staple)6 involving or consisting of many people, things, or parts (multiple)7 expressing what you mean using clear and effective language (eloquent)8 used to describe a word that refers to one person or thing (singular)9 behaving in a very unfriendly or threatening way towards someone (hostile)10 to say or write words that someone else has said or written (quote)11 to give someone responsibility for an important job or activity (entrust)6 Complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in Activity 5.1 Melanie got to her feet and made a eloquent defence of the rights of women in the workplace.2 There are a number of words in English, such as people, which although technically in the singularform, in actual fact denote a plural meaning.3 The dark suit is a staple of the businessman’s wardrobe, and I presume it will remain so for a long time.4 The hostile reception he got at the meeting is likely to undermine all the work that has been donerecently to improve relations between staff and management.5 Jason suffered multiple injuries in the accident, and we didn’t want to entrust an inexperienced surgeonwith the operation.6 I think that most world leaders in the next century will be women, but don’t quote me on that.7 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the following words. You may need to makeother changes.1 Don’t forget to put on a bit of lipstick and mascara before you go out. (make-up)2 The candidate displayed a lack of seriousness which we felt was not appropriate to the position he wasapplying for. (frivolousness)3 I need to check my free dates in March before I can confirm whether I shall be able to attend theconference. (availability)4 He has an attractive smile which people find hard to resist. (alluring)5 This list of participants needs to be put into alphabetical order. (alphabetized)6 The first person officially suggested as general secretary had to withdraw due to ill health. (nominee)7 After the first remarks offering congratulations the atmosphere at the prize-giving ceremony turned sour.(congratulatory)8 The speaker made a comment which I found unfriendly and which meant the opposite of what he reallymeant. (sarcastic)8 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 Is a linguistic problem concerned with (a) words, or (b) figures?2 If you are disqualified from an event, do the organizers (a) allow you, or (b) refuse to allow you to takepart?3 Is rub likely to mean (a) a problem, or (b) a solution?4 If you have got myriad job offers, are you likely to be (a) concerned, or (b) optimistic about your future?5 If you let on about something to someone, do you (a) tell them about it, or (b) keep it a secret?6 If you duck something which has been thrown at you, does it (a) hit, or (b) miss you?7 If someone speaks to you in an uppity way, is their manner (a) superior, or (b) humble and polite?Reading and interpreting9 Answer the questions.1 From which field has the writer borrowed the term marked?The term marked is borrowed from linguistics.2 What are the differences between a “marked” and an “unmarked” word? An “unmarked” word is normal, common or neutral, while a “marked” one is noticeable or used in aparticular way or has a special meaning. Sometimes the unmarked one is positive and the unmarked onis negative.3 What is the difference between a “marked” and an “unmarked” appearance in the workplace?An “unmarked” appearance would be normal, neutral and common, so it isunlikely that anyone wouldcomment on it. A “marked” appearance would be different, particular andnoticeable because it wouldbe a contrast to all those with an unmarked appearance – people would belikely to comment on theperson with the marked appearance.4 Why is no make-up “marked” for women?Because many or most women wear some make-up. A woman wearing no make-up in a context where itis expected that make-up would be worn is noticeably different, so it is“marked”.5 How often do men wear “marked” clothes in the workplace?Not often or rarely.6 What is the connection between “marked” and “sexy”?Assuming that most women wear attractive and smart clothes, say in the workplace, this would beunmarked (among women), whereas if a woman wore sexy clothes (which for example were veryrevealing), this would be noticeable and “marked” (and inappropriate).In another context, the oppositemight be the case, say at a party where most women were dressed in a sexy manner, someone dressedsmartly and conservatively but not in a sexy manner would be “marked”.7 Why are women’s titles (Mrs, Miss and Ms) all marked?Because whichever choice a woman makes it tells people something more than their title: If they chooseMrs, they are married but perhaps conservative or traditional; if they choose Miss they are unmarriedbut perhaps also traditional; if they choose Ms, you don’t know whetherthey are married or not, but youdo know that they don’t want to give information about being married andthat they are more modern,liberated, rebellious or feminist. Men do not have to make any of these choices.8 In what sense are women’s surnames marked?In some English-speaking countries, say the US, married woman’s surname is marked becausetraditionally they take their husband’s surname as their married surname. So if a woman uses this name,it may signal that she is traditional or willing to adopt her husband’s identity. Some married women,especially in professions, continue to use their original surname from their own family, and then thisis “marked”– it may be a signal that they are modern, liberated, or wishto keep their own identity. Ofcourse, this is not a problem in Chinese and those other languages in which a married woman doesn’ttake her husband’s name.Language in usesay + something / nothing / a lot etc about1 Rewrite the sentences using say + something / nothing / a lot etc about .1 The boots she wears give a lot of information about her.The boots she wears say a lot about her.2 The way he talks about other people gives an indication of his personality.The way he talks about other people says something about his personality.3 The way she behaves doesn’t give any indication of her previous career.

Most application forms nowgive four choices for titles. Men have one to choose –“Mr.”– so their choice carries no meaning otherthan to say they are male. But women must choose among three, each of them marked. A woman whochecks the box for “Mrs.” or “Miss” communicates not only whether she has been married but also thatshe has conservative tastes in forms of address, and probably other conservative values as well. Checking“Ms.” declines to let on about marriage (whereas “Mr.” declines nothing since nothing was asked), butit also marks the woman who checks it on her form as either liberated or rebellious, depending on theattitudes and assumptions of the one making the judgment.I sometimes try to duck these variously marked choices by giving my title as “Dr.”– and thereby riskmarking myself as either uppity (hence sarcastic responses like “Excuse me!”) or an over-achiever (hencereactions of congratulatory surprise, like “Good for you!”). （☞翻译时注意原文的语气，否则就可能不准确。

Unit6 Grant and Lee格兰特和李1865年4月9日，当尤利西兹·S·格兰特和罗伯特·E·李在弗吉尼亚州阿珀马特科斯县城一所不太大的房子的客厅里会面，商讨李所率的北弗吉尼亚军队投降条件时，美国人生活中一个伟大的篇章结束了，一个崭新的重要篇章开始了。

此二人是在实质上终止内战。

诚然，其他军队尚未投降，已失去主要支柱的逃亡的邦联政府仍将绝望地徒然挣扎数日，想法寻觅生机。

其实，在格兰特和李签署文件之时，一切都已结束。

他们拟定投降条件时用的那间小客厅成了见证美国史上强烈的戏剧性对照的场所。

这两位截然不同的将军都是强有力的人物，他们代表着两股相互冲突的力量的潮流，那两股潮流通过他们最终发生碰撞。

罗伯特·E·李所仰仗的信念是，古老的贵族观念或许能以某种方式继续存在下去，并左右美国人的生活。

李是弗吉尼亚州沿海低地人氏，他的生活背景是家庭、文化、传统……，是被移植到这个正在形成自身的传说与神话的新世界的骑士时代。

他体现了从骑士和英格兰乡绅时代流传下来的一种生活方式。

美国是个一切从头开始的国度，信奉的只不过是一种颇为模糊的信念，即人人拥有平等的权利，在世间应有平等的机会，如此而已。

在这样一个国度里，李代表着这样一种情感，即社会结构中保留一种明显的不平等多少有利于人类社会。

理应存在一个拥有土地的有闲阶级；反过来，社会本身应以土地为本，视其为财富与势力的主要来源。

（根据这一理想）这样一个社会会造就一个对社会有着强烈责任感的阶级，他们不是为自己获利活着，而是为了承担自己的特权所赋予的重大责任活着。

国家从他们中觅得领导人员；国家可依靠他们产生更加高尚的价值观念——思想方面的，行为方面的，个人风度方面的—以求国兴德盛。

李体现了这一贵族理想的最高尚的部分。

拥有土地的贵族通过他获得存在的理由。

四年间，南方各州拼死战斗，以捍卫李所代表的理想。

到后来，南部邦联似乎是为李而战；李本人似乎就是南部邦联……似乎是南部邦联所代表的生活方式能提供的菁华。
