An Integrated English Course IIIUnit 2Text 1 Tyranny of the UrgentKey to ExercisesText comprehensionI. Decide which of the following is the biggest problem we may have in using our time.C. Jumbled priorities are, according to Hummel, the biggest problem we have in time management. Hummel points out in the third paragraph that the real problem is not shortage of time but that of priorities. We have spent too much time dealing with urgent tasks that are hardly important in the long run while neglecting those that are truly important.II. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. F. A day with thirty hours is almost as good as one with twenty-four in relieving us of the pressure because the problem is not the length of time but the way to spend our time. Even if we have a 30-hour day, we still cannot finish all the tasks required because there is simply no end to any type of work.2. F. The passage of time will not help us to catch up because we may be charged with more important tasks, or simply more tasks, with the passage of time. A mother's work is never finished when her children grow up; nor is that of a manager when he mounts a higher position in his company.3. F. Hard work does not wear us out. We can still feel a sense of achievement and joy upon accomplishing a difficult and important task. It is doubt and misgiving that make us weary when we look back and find so many tasks left undone that should have been finished.4. T. Urgent things are those that call for immediate action and hold momentary appeals; they are not necessarily important in the long term. Important things rarely must be done today or tomorrow.III. Answer the following questions.1. No. We must ensure we are working hard on important things rather than those that are merely urgent.2. Learning to prioritize. We shouldn't let the urgent crowd out the truly important things while merely doing those that are not really important.3. Because urgent things call for instant attention and immediate action while important things hardly do so. If we crowd our schedule with too many urgent engagements, we will have less time to deal with truly important things.4. The development of modem science and technology, especially that of the modem means of communication, is accused as an accomplice of the tyranny of the urgent. The telephone line has tied us to the fast-growing outside world to which we have to give instant response. So our life has been cursed with endless callings and intrusions, for which the development of modem technology is partially responsible.5. No. The message the writer wants to convey is that we should not let urgent things crowd out important things. He does not mean we should leave urgent things unnoticed.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences taken from the text.1. He did not realize what an impact his words had on me. They often return to my mind andreproach me with the grave problem of priorities.2. But from a long-term perspective, they no longer seem to be important as they promised, and we suffer from a sense of loss when we recall those important tasks left undone.Structural analysis of the textThe writer supports his argument by using a number of facts and examples in addition to reasoning.Rhetorical features of the textSo we find ourselves working more and enjoying it less (Paragraph 2 ); "we have left undone those things, which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done" ( Paragraph 3).Vocabulary exercisesI.

Combine the following sentences into a paragraph, using coordinators. Make other changes if necessary.The recorded history of mankind is only 6,000 or 7,000 years, but within that short period of time many civilizations have risen and fallen. The people of the Nile Valley created a high culture, and so did the people of the Tigris-Euphrates Valley, but both of these cultures disappeared. They were absorbed into the Greco-Roman culture that dominated the Mediterranean world, but this civilization also disintegrated in time.IV. Punctuate the following sentences, using commas or stops. Make some changes if necessary.1. The butterfly is a marvel. It begins as an ugly caterpillar and turns into a work of art.2. The earthquake was devastating, Tall buildings crumbled and fell to the earth.3. The child hid behind his mother, for he was afraid of the dog.4. We have to help the children.

I had to go to the drugstore, the travel agency and the bank.6. He's walking in the garden, the dog is playing at his feet, and the children are following him. V.

Complete the sentences using the "as...as" construction or the comparatives of the adjectives given.(You can make your judgment according to tile premodifers. Premodifiers such as a good deal, far, much, a lot, a great deal are used before the "more ... than" construction, and those such as almost, just, not nearly, not quite are used before the "as ... as" construction.)1. older than2. more interested3. as crowded as4. as pale as5. more exciting than6. as complicated7. easier than8. as expensive as9. more selective 10. nicer 11. as unlucky as 12. more difficultIII.

An Integrated English Course IVUnit 2Text I Space InvadersKEY TO EXERCISESText comprehension (P5-6)I. CII.1. T. Refer to Paragraph 1. At the bank, one of the customers inched forward and caused other customers to advance so public order is being disrupted.2. F. Refer to Paragraph 1. The writer minutely advanced toward the woman in front of him, not because he wanted to follow the example of the sweat-suit man, but because he was forced to do so by the sweat-suit man, who invaded his personal space from behind.3. T. Refer to the last sentence of Paragraph4. Caffeine can generally help inspire the spirit ofa human, and over-consumption of caffeine can make his restless.4. F. Refer to the first two sentences of Paragraph5. Personal space is one's individual territory in public; it makes little sense to talk about one's personal space in private, and therefore it is pointless to discuss the invasion of personal space in private. It follows then that when we speak of the invasion of personal space, we always mean the invasion of personal space in public. In this sense, it is wrong to say that the invasion of personal space is inevitable.5. T. Refer to Paragraph6. The last two sentences convey the author’s opinion on personal space: an indivi dual’s personal space should be respected, which shows a person’s manners on social occasions.6. F. Refer to Paragraph 8. Personal space is psychological. This means when people are absorbed in their inner world, they will pay little attention to the outside world, including their personal space. By this the author intends to explain why people care less about their personal space than ever and why their personal space is shrinking. Undoubtedly, when the invasion of one's space in the physical world is perceived, he will certainly feel that his personal space is shrinking.III.1. Because he wants to show the importance of personal space in maintaining public order. If one’s personal space is invaded, he may, in preserving his own space, break into other’s personal space. This chain of reactions can cause chaos in public order.2. In paragraph 2, the author defines personal space as one’s individual sphere with the self at the center and certain distance on each side. It is part of one’s privacy, the inv asion of which necessarily makes one uneasy.3. “This tendency” refers to the phenomenon exemplified in the previous paragraph, that is, the escalation of the invasion of personal space. The writer used to think this was caused by “population explosion” vi a the Malthusian logic. Now he starts to suspect that the season is the cause: in summer days some people, mostly men, are attracted to women (in summer dress some people are more attractive). In addition, he believes, in seriousness or jest, the stimulating effect of caffeine contributes to the escalation of the invasion of personal space too.4. In paragraph 5, the writer mainly describes one important characteristic of personal space:personal space is a relative concept; people in different regions have different concepts of personal space. The size of personal space varies according to where one lives. Where one has a spread, he will have a more spacious concept of personal space than those who have a small living space / than those who do not have a large space of their own.5. Because people are more self-absorbed than ever before. In other words they are paying less attention to the outside world, including personal space, than before. The fact that people care less about their personal space in effect encourages space invasion.IV1. The phrase “personal space” has an odd touch that was characteristic of the 1970’s.2. In hot summer days people can be drawn to each other, especially to the opposite sex (or feel disgusted with the closeness of others).3. People in different regions are given different sizes of personal space.4. …it is quite common that one person occupies a booth and a set of facing seats designed for four people.5. Even science focuses on the intra-personal, inner world rather that the interpersonal outer society these days.6. I have decided to enlarge the shrinking personal space, hoping that my own stand against the shrinking of personal space, though small in itself, will nonetheless eventually have a dramatic effect in the same way as the breeze from a butterfly’s wings in Japan, if it initiates a chain of waves, may eventually produce a tidal wave in California.Structural Analysis of TextThe author looks at the causes of space invasion in Paragraph 4. He attributes this phenomenon to population explosion first, then playfully to the hot weather and the stimulation of caffeine. But the real cause strikes him as likely to be the decline of manner (Paragraph 6).He examines the nature of space invasion in Paragraphs 5-8. He thinks that space invasion is a public matter. It is more psychological than physical.Rhetorical Features of TextListed below are the verbs used by the author to give a vivid and accurate description of the behavior of the space invaders and those whose personal space is being invaded.1) Verbs used to describe the behavior of space invaders:a man ... started inching toward me ... (Paragraph 1)In elevators, people are wedging themselves in just before the doors close ... (Paragraph 3) on the street, pedestrians are zigzagging through the human traffic, jostling others, refusing to give way ( Paragraph 3 )in lines at airports, people are pressing forward like fidgety taxis at red lights (Paragraph 3) when they bump into you (Paragraph 6)In movie theatres these days, people are staking a claim to both armrests, annexing all the elbow room ... ( Paragraph 7)while at coffee shops and on the Long Island Railroad, individuals routinely commandeer booths and sets of facing seats meant for foursomes ( Paragraph 7)2) Verbs used to describe the reaction of those whose space is being invaded:I minutely advanced toward the woman ... in front of me ...

In the same way that every baby’s face is different from every other’s, every baby’s pattern of development is so different from every other’s.In the same way that the heart is the most important organ for sustaining life, engine plays an irreplaceable role in a car.TranslationI.

The payment that the motorist will have to make is proportional to the amount of damage he has done to the other person's car.3. You can only enter the cave by inching through a narrow tunnel on your stomach.4.. She stammered some apology as she sidled towards the door.5. He took pains to explain to me that I was being dismissed not because I didn't do my work well but because the company could not pay my wages.6. The enlistment of young soldiers infused new hope and morale into the army.7. Once the older boys stake a claim to the lawn, no other boys dare go on it.8.

New Century College English An Integrated English CourseLanguageFocusBook 3Book ThreeUnit One: People Around UsText A Something for Stevie▇课文参考译文送给史蒂维的一点心意丹·安德森1 我力求不存偏见，不过在雇用史蒂维时我的确心存疑虑。

他的就业顾问向我保证，说他会成为出色、可靠的餐馆杂工。

我从未雇过智障的员工，是否要招收一位，我举棋不定。

我的顾客会有什么反应，我没有把握。

史蒂维是个矮个儿，胖墩墩的，如其他唐氏综合症患者一样，面部光滑，口齿不清。

2 对大多数来就餐的卡车司机们，我还是很放心的。

只要食物好，馅饼地道，他们基本不在乎谁收碗碟。

真正让我担心的是那些高谈阔论的大学走读生，那些因惧怕“路边餐馆的细菌”而用餐巾悄悄擦拭银餐具的雅皮士势利眼儿们，还有那些穿白色衬衫、使用公款消费、认为餐馆里每个女服务员都渴望调情的商务人员。

我知道，史蒂维在这里工作，他们会感到别扭，所以开头几个星期我密切地关注着他。

3 我的担心是多余的。

第一周过后，史蒂维就抓住了我每位员工的心。

不足一个月，我的老顾客−那些卡车司机们−就正式认定史蒂维为卡车司机休息站的吉祥人物。

自此以后，我不再介意其他顾客的看法了。

4 史蒂维21岁，蓝色牛仔裤，耐克运动鞋，满面笑容，讨人喜爱，极端地敬业。

他收拾好一张餐桌后，盐瓶和胡椒瓶归于原位，丝毫不差，桌面不见一点面包屑、一滴咖啡液。

5 我们唯一的问题是得说服他等待客人用餐完毕再去收拾桌子。

他总是在不起眼的地方守候，左右脚替换着支撑体重，眼睛巡视整个餐厅。

一看见哪张餐桌边的客人都离去，他立即赶过去，仔细地把碗碟收拾到餐车上，拿起抹布细密地擦桌子，动作娴熟、夸张。

若他觉得有顾客正在看他，他就会眉头紧锁，更加专注。

工作一丝不苟，这是他自豪的源泉。

他取悦面前的每一个人，那煞费苦心的劲头真是惹人喜爱。
