Translate the following paragraph into English using the words and expressions in the box below.▆ Answer for reference:Theme-Related Writing▆ Do one of the following writing tasks after class.Suppose you were Frannie, the head waitress, in Text A. Write a short story about Stevie from your perspective.Read the following newspaper clipping and write a short essay on the question:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus during Rush Hours?▆Sample Essay for Task 1:We all knew Stevie was mentally handicapped, so everyone, especially our boss himself, doubted whether he would be a capable busboy in the truck-stop restaurant where I worked as the head waitress. However, our worries were gradually removed one week later. Smiling and hard-working, Stevie won over all our trucker regulars as well as us employees.Later we learnt that Stevie badly needed the job because the money he earned made it possible for his mother and him to live together; otherwise he would be sent to a group home. So you can imagine how worried Stevie was when he had to take sick leave for heart surgery. He was afraid that he would lose his job. After the operation, in the week before he returned, he called 10 times to make sure that hecould still have the job back. At that time, what concerned me most was how Stevie could handle the huge medical bills.Now, Stevie is still working here. Our boss thinks that Stevie is the best worker he has ever hired. (240 words)▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus During Rush Hours?I am amazed to read what a blogger says about offering bus seats to the elderly. He claims that “it’s the young who need it more” because they go to work early in the morning and feel exhausted after a day’s work. The blogger also argues that it is unfair to offer seats to the elderly since they already enjoy free rides, and further suggests that during rush hours senior citizens be denied such treatment.Respecting the elderly is also our social convention. It is precisely out of our love and respect for the elderly that such special benefits as free rides are offered to them. No one can deprive senior citizens of their right to go out by bus at any time they like, and what’s more, we should make sure that they get special care when the bus is fully packed with passengers.Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone involved. It is through performing such small acts as offering seats to the needy that we learn to contribute to the building of a harmonious society.(268 words)Unit TwoLoveEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▆ Working with Words and ExpressionsIn the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Study the following data on love and marriage based on a survey with girl students. Write a passage on the to pic “What do girl students look for in love and life?”▆ Sample Essay One:Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as they were, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships. (196 words)▆ Sample Essay Two:What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities — Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life?As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career” was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard marriage and family life as central to a happy life.

Before I could speak, he told me that he was waiting for a friend by the name of Jimmy Wells. When he struck a match to light his cigar, I saw a pale face with keen eyes and a scar. I recognized him immediately. It was Bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the Chicago Police. For a moment I felt like telling him to escape right away. After all, we had been friends for so many years and he had traveled all the way to see me! But then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do. I said good-bye to him and continued my patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear: “I’ll wait for half an hour.

Encouraged, I decided to change myself.

Complete the following passage with words and phrases chosen from Text A. The initial letter of each is given.Today young people tend to jump on the bandwagon of love with so much h aste (1) that they fail to realize the essence of true love. Given the current s tate o f a ffairs (2), we need to consider more closely the nature of love. True love has to be d istinguished (3) from the pleasures of the flesh. True love means a m eeting o f m inds (4) and it takes time to b lossom (5). People who are in true love focus more on i nner c harm (6) than on physical beauty, more on i ntimacy (7) than on closeness, more on e motion (8) than on passion, more on sharing than on a cquiring (9). As true love happens once in a lifetime, they have in their minds the i deals (10) of the relationship. They share mutual respect, a dmiration (11) and plenty of romance, so their relationship is l asting (12) and meaningful. Preserving true love requires effort, however. You should gift your object of a ffection (13) your time, company, support and friendship; you should give yourself and your beloved time and space to f orge (14) alife-long bond; and you should h onor (15) your commitments. In short, you should devote yourself to your love. Your devotion to love will, in return, bring you an o verwhelming (16) joy.Complete the following passage with words and phrases chosen from Text A. The initial letter of each is given.What is genuine friendship? Some c lassical (1) views may help us understand the n otion (2) of friendship more clearly. Aristotle distinguishes genuine friendship from two other forms: one based on mutual u tility (3) and the other on pleasure. While the g round (4) for the latter two forms of friendship is closely related to material benefits, short-term interests or age, genuine friendship o ccurs (5) only between those who are similar in their g oodness (6). Cicero, another ancient scholar, believes that true friends’ actions and lives should leave no question a s t o (7) their honor, purity, equity and liberality. Whether or not one p ossesses (8) any superiority over the other, both must regard themselves as equals of the other and try their best to preserve the friendship. Moreover, true friends are b ound (9) together, as a friend is said to be a m irror (10) in which you may perceive and know yourself. When v irtuous (11) friends share a c ommitment (12) to the good, they can recognize each other’s m oral e xcellence (13) and fulfill their self-improvement.Complete the following passage with words and phrases chosen from this unit. The initial letter of each is given.AIDS is a terrible disease. It poses a t hreat (1) to all the human beings without caring whether you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old. But what is a t r isk (2) now is not just the people i nfected (3) with the disease. Human civilization itself is being threatened. This is because the whole society tolerates both ignorance of and p rejudice (4) against HIV or AIDS. Once diagnosed (被诊断) as HIV-positive, the victims are i solated (5) or treated as outcasts. They are believed to have c ontracted (6) something evil or to have entered some alien state of being. As a result, these poor people have tos helter (7) the flickering candle of life from the cold wind of rejection by their family members. When they die of the disease, their families dare not whisper the word AIDS. They just g rieve (8) silently. Thus, our prejudice and silence have helped the disease a long (9). Now HIV marches firmly towards AIDS in more than a million American homes, littering its p athway (10) with the bodies of the young. To guard against the disease effectively, we must take this i ssue (11) seriously. People should be educated to b ring (12) those negative attitudes to an end. We should not see AIDS as something e vil (13) and the patients as alien. Instead, we should c oncern o urselves w ith (14) the prevention of the disease and render strong s upport (15) to the patients with more compassion. Only in this way can we have a better chance of winning the war against AIDS.Complete the following passage with words and phrases chosen from this unit.

The former means that the graduate has completed the training of professional skills in pharmacy while the latter, besides professional training, also involves education in the ideas mankind has generated within its history.3) How did the author communicate the significance of studying the literal arts in college to the pharmacy student?He explained to the student that the time of a person’s life could be divided into three parts: one is for sleep, the second is for work which involves professional skills, and the third part is for life after work in which education in liberal arts —philosophy, arts, music, literature, history, etc. — plays a vital part.4) What is the business of college education according to the author? The business of college education is not merely to train students, but to civilize them with the best human thoughts in history. In other words the author draws a clear distinction between training and education. The former provides one with skills for a job or career while the latter enables one to become a civilized person by coming into contact with the best minds in history.5) How can a person become civilized according to the text?A person has to enter the past and familiarize himself/herself with both the technical and spiritual resources created by mankind, so that he/she could become civilized and play his/her role in civilization.6) What does the author think of the mission undertaken by the faculties of a university? How can they accomplish this mission?The faculties of liberal arts colleges as well as of specialized schools are entrusted with the mission to put students in close contact with the best human minds in history. They should turn themselves into some sort of storehouse of human experience and try their best to communicate that experience to their students, so that their students will become civilized humans instead of savages who only know how to operate machines or push buttons.2 Text A can be divided into three parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part. Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1–7 In response to the challenge posed by a particular student who merely intends to pursue skills at college and takes no interest in literature, the author draws a distinction between professional training and college education. The former can only provide students with professional skills while the latter enables students to become civilized humans. Hence the importance of liberal arts education at college.Two 8–10 College education must enable students to come into contact with the best minds in history, so that they can become civilized and useful human beings instead of new species of savages who only know how to operate machines or push buttons. Three 11 College education must target at enabling students to become both specialists and civilized humans. All college teachers must make themselves some sort of storehouse of human experience and try their best to communicate that experience to their students.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1) Will there be a book in the house? Will there be a painting a reasonably sensitive man can look at without shuddering? (Para. 5)Do you have a cultivated mind to know what books your family should read? And do you know what kind of paintings you should put up on the wall that would not offend a cultured eye?2) “I hope you make a lot of it,” I told him, “because you’re going to be badly stuck for something to do when you’re not signing checks.” (Para. 7)I hope you will make a lot of money, but I’m sure you’ll be at a loss what to do when you are not signing checks. In other words, you can have a lot of money, but you may not live a meaningful and fulfilling life.3) You are on the way to being new species of mechanized savage, the Pushbutton Neanderthal. (Para. 8)Not getting in touch with what the best human minds have thought, you are going to be uncivilized humans or a new type of savages who can only operate machines by pushing buttons.4) Our colleges inevitably graduate a number of such life forms, but it cannot be said that they went to college; rather, the college went through them — without making contact. (Para. 8)A number of our college graduates have indeed turned out to be “new species of mechanized savage”. This only means that they have not received a college education though they have spent some time there, for they have failed to make contact with the best human minds in history.5) If you are too much in a hurry, or too arrogantly proud of your own limitations, to accept as a gift to your humanity some pieces of the minds of Sophocles, of Aristotle, of Chaucer — and right down the scale and down the ages to Yeats, Einstein, . White, and Ogden Nash —then you may be protected by the laws governing manslaughter, and you may be a voting entity, but you are neither a developed human being nor a useful citizen of a democracy. (Para. 10)Even if you are too busy or feel complacent and, therefore, refuse to come into contact with the best human minds within history, you can still be protected by law and enjoy the right to democratic voting. But you can never be considered as an educated, civilized person; nor can you be accepted by society as a useful citizen in a democratic nation.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Put down the right word from Text B in the space provided according to the given definition.

The role of education in the 21st century should be based on the hope for a world that is a better place to live in.2) What are some of the problems in the 21st century that humankind should overcome in order to make the world a better place to live in?We have to overcome the tensions between the global and the local, between tradition and modernity, between long-term and short-term considerations, between the need for competition and the concern for equality of opportunity and between the spiritual and the material so as to make the world a better place to live in.3) In what way can we learn to live together?We can learn to live together by understanding others and their history, traditions and spiritual values, implementing common projects and managing the inevitable conflicts in an intelligent and peaceful way.4) Is the idea of being a multi-subject specialist feasible? Why or why not?No. Because there are so many different types of knowledge; any attempt to know everything would be an illusion.5) What’s the fundamental function of general education?General education provides the passport to lifelong education. It enables people to learn other languages and become familiar with other subjects. It also arouses people’s interest in learning and thus lays the foundation for lifelong education.6) Besides learning to do a job in industrial economies, what other competence do people need to acquire?People also need to acquire the competence to cope with various situations and cooperate with others in teams.7) How can pupils and students acquire the competence to work in teams? To develop team skills, students should be provided with opportunities to involve themselves in work experience while they are still in education.8) What is the aim of “learning to be”? How can the aim be achieved? The aim of “learning to be” is the compl ete fulfillment of man. All people should receive an education that would equip them to develop an independent, critical way of thinking and exercising judgment.9) As far as education is concerned, what society should we build in the 21st century?We should build a learning society based on the acquisition, renewal and use of knowledge.2 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say in the following sentences.1) This is precisely the case where education policies are concerned. (Para. 2)The solution to any serious problem involves much consideration, cooperation and negotiation. It is exactly the same with educational policies, which can only be worked out through lots of discussions and negotiations.2) Since knowledge is of multiple nature, any attempt to know everything becomes more and more pointless. (Para. 5)There are so many different kinds of knowledge that it is increasingly meaningless and impossible to train students into specialists in all fields.3) The future of industrial economies hinges on their ability to turn advances in knowledge into innovations that will generate new businesses and new jobs. (Para. 6)The future of industrial economies depends critically on their ability to turn the development in knowledge into creative ideas, new methods or inventions. With creativity, new businesses and new jobs will be created.4) None of the talents which are hidden like buried treasure in every person must be left untapped. (Para. 7)The education one receives, which begins at birth and continues all through one’s life, should help develop and put into full play one’s potentials and talents.Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

But different generationshandle them differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era ofconstraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kepta distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holinessof love and relationships. Mygeneration, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the oppositesex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as they were, the lovewas as brief as soapbubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developingreal relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so muchof take.Bycomparison, the younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted inhandling the matter of love and relationships. They jump on the bandwagon oflove with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish betweenphysical attraction and mental compatibilities.In short,the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion,and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other twogenerations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing indealing with relationships.

The survey soughtanswersto two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the mostimportant thing for a happy life? About onethird of the students chose personality as the top factor in choosing aboyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came commoninterests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of studentsclaiming appearance to be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent,rated economic status as the first consideration.As to theirviews about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached thegreatest importance to marriage and family. “Career” was given top priority byjust under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money wasthe key to a happy life.Based on thesurvey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitudetowards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of lifeexplain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contraryto the popular view that girls are moreconcerned about self-development in theworkplace and social status, they still regard marriage and family life ascentral to a happy life.

Virtuous friends possess moral excellence and share a commitment to the good.2 Text A can be divided into four parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1 It’s necessary to review some classical views of friendship in order to acquire a better understanding of it.Two 2–5 According to Aristotle, there are three kinds of friendship, which are respectively based on utility, pleasure and goodness. Friendship based on goodness is perfect and totally different from friendship based on utility or pleasure.Three 6 According to Cicero, true friendship is only possible between good men. In such friendships and relationships, those who possess any superiority must regard themselves as equals of those who are less fortunate.Four 7 Virtuous friends are bound by moral excellence, which involves a high level of development and expression of the altruistic emotions of sympathy, concern and care.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the authors intend to say by the italicised parts.1. In one setting, we may describe someone as a friend; in another, the label may seem less appropriate. (Para. 1)Since society lacks socially accepted criteria for what friendship is, a person may be described as a ―friend‖ in one context but may not be suitably called so in another.2. Friendship between the young is thought to be grounded on pleasure, because the lives of the young are regulated by their feelings, and their chief interests are in their own pleasure and the opportunity of the moment. (Para. 4)It is believed that young people tend to regard pleasure as an essential element of friendship and thus base their friendship on pleasure.3. Such friendships are rare because men of this kind are few and they need time and intimacy; for as the saying goes, true friends must go through trials and tribulations together. (Para. 5)It is not easy to establish true friendships because there is only a small number of such good men in the world and it takes time and effort to develop such friendships. That is why true friendships are rare.4. To perceive a friend, therefore, is in a manner to perceive oneself; and to know a friend is in a manner to know oneself. Each can be said to provide a mirror in which the other may see himself. (Para. 7)When two people are true friends, each is like a mirror to the other, who can see what kind of a person he himself has proved to be and whether he has moral excellence or not.5. Friendship of this kind necessarily involves conversations about well-being and of what might be involved in living the good life. (Para.7)We can find all the good qualities in virtuous friends and it is those qualities that make permanent friendship possible.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Put down the right word from Text B in the space provided according to the given definition.

Some c lassical (1) views may help us understand the n otion (2) of friendship more clearly. Aristotle distinguishes genuine friendship from two other forms: one based on mutual u tility (3) and the other on pleasure. While the g round (4) for the latter two forms of friendship is closely related to material benefits, short-term interests or age, genuine friendship o ccurs (5) only between those who are similar in theirg oodness (6). Cicero, another ancient scholar, believes that true friends’ actions and lives should leave no question a s t o (7) their honor, purity, equity and liberality. Whether or not one p ossesses (8) any superiority over the other, both must regard themselves as equals of the other and try their best to preserve the friendship. Moreover, true friends are b ound (9) together, as a friend is said to be a m irror (10) in which you may perceive and know yourself. When v irtuous (11) friends share a c ommitment (12) to the good, they can recognize each other’s m oral e xcellence (13) and fulfill their self-improvement.Translation1 Translate the following sentences into English, using the words and expressions given in brackets.1) 以共同兴趣为基础的友谊是不容易破裂的。

These signs and symbols include all the countless ways and means we resort to for daily survival.2) How does an individual feel when he or she enters a strange culture?Like a fish out of water, he or she feels frustrated and anxious.3) How do people react to the frustration and anxiety caused by culture shock? At first they may reject the environment which causes the discomfort, thinking that the ways of the host country are bad because they make them feel bad. And then they may enter another phase of culture shock, which is called―regression‖. They start missing their home country and the home environment suddenly assumes a tremendous importance. All the difficulties and problems back home are forgotten and only the good things are remembered.4) What is the relationship between culture and the individual?The individual lives not only in a physical environment but also in a cultural environment. The individual must learn the culture he or she is born into because he or she is not born with culture but only with the capacity to learn it and use it. Once learned, culture becomes a way of life.5) What is ethnocentrism and what characterizes it?Ethnocentrism is a belief that not only the culture but the race and the nation form the center of the world. People with this attitude identify themselves with their own group to the extent that any critical comment is taken as a remark that is rude to the individual as well as to the race or the nation. Along with this attitude goes the tendency to attribute all individual peculiarities as national characteristics.6) What can we do to get over culture shock as quickly as possible?To get over culture shock as quickly as possible, we have to get to know the people of the host country. For this purpose, we must, first of all, learn its language. When we are able to talk with the natives of the host country, we will be confident and a whole new world of cultural meanings will open up for us. Then, we must try to find out the value and interest pattern of the native people. In this way, we can find it quite easy to get people to talk to us and be interested in us. Thirdly, we can join the activities of the people, whether it is a carnival, a religious ritual, or some economic activity.2 Text A can be divided into three parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1–3 We might call culture shock a disease which is caused by the frustration and anxiety resulting from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse.Two 4–6 Culture shock is due to our own lack of understanding of other people’s cultural background and our l ack of the means of communication rather than the hostility of an alien environment.Three 7–9 To get over culture shock, we should get to know the people of the host country and their language; we should find out what they do, how they do it, and what their interests are, etc. But understanding the ways of a people does not mean that we have to give up our own.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1. We might almost call culture shock an occupational disease of people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. (Para. 1)People working under the same conditions may contract occupational diseases owing to the dangers associated with the work. More broadly and figuratively,as here, the phrase ―occupational disease‖ can be applied to the unpleasant consequences associated with any activity.2. All of us depend for our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues. (Para. 2)These familiar cues can exactly tell us what to do and how to do things, which helps us deal successfully with the various situations we encounter. Without these numerous cues, we cannot enjoy peace of mind or efficiency in work and life.3. It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality. (Para. 3)When you step into a new culture, you tend to feel that your own culture back home is the best; it is only after you return to your homeland that you will find the culture of your own nation or race is by no means perfect.4. The culture of any people is the product of history and is built up over time largely through processes which are beyond his awareness. (Para. 4) Culture develops and accumulates through a long but hardly noticeable process.5. It is thus best to recognize that ethnocentrism is a permanent characteristic of national groups. (Para. 5)People tend to regard their own culture and lifestyles as the best; meanwhile, they tend to regard the behavior of an individual from another culture as apermanent trait of his or her national group. Accordingly, an awareness of this fact should help us deal with a new culture more successfully.6. But once you begin to be able to carry on a friendly conversation with your maid, your neighbour, or to go on shopping trips alone, you not only gain confidence and a feeling of power but a whole new world of cultural meanings opens up for you. (Para. 7)Language is the principal symbol system of communication. Knowing the language of the host country is a principal means by which we can settle down comfortably and confidently in a new culture.Task Three Voicing Your ViewsA Chinese marketing manager in Beijing was sent to Los Angeles for a two-year sales promotion.

Because her mother was proud of her skill of cooking. By asking her boyfriend to praise her mother’s cooking the narrator hoped that he would win her mother’s favor. 2) What was her mother’s first impression of Rich?He looked rather plain with too many freckles across his nose.3) What mistakes did Rich make at the dinner table?At dinner he drank two full glasses of the French wine he had brought while everybody else had a half-inch ―just for taste.‖He did not know how to use chopsticks and how to show appreciation for the food the mother cooked. He ate big portions of the dish he liked, instead of taking only a polite spoonful. He declined the tender and expensive new greens the narrator’s mother had carefully prepared. What is worse, he spoiled the flavor of the mother’s famous dish by pouring too much soy sauce into it.4) Why did the narrator shudder when she remembered how Rich parted with her parents?When he shook hands with her parents, Rich showed that same easy familiarity he used with nervous new clients and he addressed them by their first names, which sounded quite impolite. Nobody except a few older family friends, had ever called them by their first names.5) What did Rich think of the evening?He thought it was good and that everything had gone well that night. He was expecting to see the narrator’s parents again.6) Why didn’t the narrator tell her mother that she was getting married? Because at every possible moment when she was alone with her mother, her mother would be voicing her dissatisfaction with Rich. So the narrator did not have a chance —not even the courage — to tell her mother about her marriage plan.7) Why couldn’t Rich understand the narrator’s mother?It was the cultural differences that caused their misunderstanding. Rich did not know much about Chinese table manners and he took others’ words literally.2 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1) She can only cook looking at a recipe. (Para. 4)She is poor at cooking and could not cook creatively; no one would enjoy the dishes she cooked.2) Rich obviously had had a different opinion on how the evening had gone. (Para. 23)Rich didn’t realize at all how serious his mistakes were in my parents’ eyes. Instead, he thought what he had done was proper in the situation.3) When we got home that night, I was still shuddering, remembering how Rich had firmly shaken both my parents’ hands with that same easy familiarity he used with nervous new clients. (Para. 23)He did not realize that he had shaken my parents’ hands in a way that had irritated them.4) How long d oes it take to say, Mom, Dad, I’m getting married? (Para. 26)It is extremely easy to tell them that you are getting married.Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

新标准大学英语_综合教程3_课后答案unit7 Unit7Active reading(1)Can bad luck be explained?Language points1Part of the explanation for bad luck is mathematical, but part is psychological.(Para2)The sentence means bad luck is not only a matter of the odds for or against something happening,but ofour memories and attitudes.2This popular notion would be unlikely to stand the scrutiny of any scientific study…otherwise the phrase would never have arisen in the first place.(Para 3)To stand the scrutiny of any scientific study means to survive any scientific examination.The expression in the first place is used to mean what someone did or should have done at the start of a situation,eg I wish I’d never got involved i n the first place.3So badness is much better represented as being on a spectrum rather than something which is thereor not there.(Para5)The sentence means that badness is not an either/or quality,but a matter of degree,and it exists on a continuum.4When it comes to bad things happening in threes,what may be most important of all is the durationand memorability of the first event.(Para7)The sentence means that the impact of the first unpleasant event and the length of time we remember it isthe critical factor in the origin of the common idea that three bad events often occur together.Unit7The secret life of science2305The timescale has been extended as long as is necessary to confirm the original prophecy.(Para8)The idea behind the sentence is that after one bad event, people predict two more and will wait a long timeif necessary for them to happen and so to prove the prediction.6But it is more likely that a friend will tell you“three bad things havehappened to me,isn’t thatty pical”than“only two bad things have happened to me, which just proves that the theory doesn’twork”.(Para9)Some times after the second bad event,nothing happens for a long time.We could tell people that ourexperience shows that the idea that bad luck comes in threes is wrong.But we do not.That seems to beasking for a third piece of bad luck to come along.Instead we wait for the third event and then say the oldtheory has been proved yet again.7It is related to probability and independence.(Para10) Probability means how events are connected to one another, how probable it is something will happen.Independence refers to how much interdependence there is between events.8One of the best examples of selective memory…(Para16)A selective memory means remembering only some facts or only what we want to.We select somememories and reject others.Reading and understanding2Choose

Bonded together in a community, we naturally expect to have friends. As to what friendship is, people have different notions / ideas. Some make friends for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. However, a lot more people long for "soul pals"— those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and encourage us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call "true and perfect friendship".1. Bob and I became brother-like friends in our childhood. We played, dined and discussed our ambitions together. Once grown up, he started for the West to make his fortune while I became a policeman in New York. Before his departure, we had dinner together and we agreed that we would meet at the same place exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have tocome.Then came the day we were supposed to meet. I was on my beat then. Walking up to the appointed place which had been turned into a hardware store, I saw a man standing there with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. Before I could speak, he told me that he was waiting for a friend by the name of Jimmy Wells. When he struck a match to light his cigar, I saw a pale face with keen eyes and a scar. I recognized him immediately. It was Bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the Chicago Police.For a moment I felt like telling him to escape right away. After all, we had been friends for so many years and he had traveled all the way to see me! But then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do. I said good-bye to him and continued my patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear: “I’ll wait for half an hour. Jimmy will keep his promise if he’s alive…” I then sent fora plain clothes man and had Bob arrested.2.An Important Friend in My LifeLi Qiang, one of my classmates, is fun to be with. He is always wearing a broad smile as if life is forever "sunshine and butterflies". One day, I revealed to him my worries andanxieties:I, an ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall, even taller than any of the boys in my class. I thought no boy would like to date me. Besides, I was very poor at my academic courses.He suggested that I should learn to be myself and then he introduced me to a fashion show team of the university. Encouraged, I decided to change myself. After a 3-month training program on weekends, I could perform beautifully as a model, and surprisingly, I could concentrate on the required academic courses as well. The applauses I won at each fashion show and the scholarship I earned proved that being myself was terrific. Since then, my life has changed a lot. Thus, Li Qiang became an important friend of mine.Last semester, we began to help young people who suffer pressures from physical defects, academic failures or financial problems. We set up a Confidence Club. Those who come to us for help find our work definitely beneficial. Our friendship has led me into a sparkling, rewarding life.Unit Two Love(1)1. curled2. minimum3. clip4. yielded5.

Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly afterthey were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much overjoyed Aunt Susan was to see Uncle Robert come back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced giving and sharing in their daily life instead of pursuing passion and romance. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.1. Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order topreserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as it was, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.By comparison, the younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in handling the matter of love and relationships. They jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships.2.What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities — Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey soughtanswers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life? About one third of the students chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearanceto be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family.“Career” was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard upon marriage and family life as central to a happy life.Unit Three Happiness (1)1. inform2. evaluate3. attractive4. depression5. leisure6.

A life that is too easy / smooth may also be destructivebecauseit offers no opportunity for one to learn how to deal with / handle failures / frustrations / setbacks. That / This in part explains / accounts for the high rates of suicide among young people.(2)Happiness must have much to do with money. After all, a hard life will wear out one’s sense of joy. However, happiness doesn’t derive from money alone. Today’s society as a whole has seen dramatic improvement in the standard of living, and the majority of people are decently fed and clothed. However, are people happier today? In fact, when the mass media and commercial advertisements are still reinforcing the notion that to be happy is to possess more, people find themselves longing more earnestly than ever for a happy and healthy spiritual life: being loved, respected, feeling safe and proud of realizing their self-value. As a wise man once pointed out, happiness lies in the positive attitude one holds towards life other than how much money one earns. Those millionaires who view life as boring and empty serve as good negative examples.1. Man Does Not Live by Bread AloneNo one would doubt the truth that man’s existence reliesessentially on material things. We need them to get fed, clothed and sheltered. Once we are living near the breadline, we’ll feel frustrated and miserable.However, our contentment does not merely lie in material things.This is especially the case in modern times. The fast-developing economy has noticeably improved our lives and fulfilled most of our material needs. Then there comes the need of spiritual satisfaction, which is derived from good health, close friends, a loving spouse, well-raised children, a home built on love, a clear conscience, a worthy goal and an enjoyable job. While material things may lose their charm over time, spiritual satisfaction will bring us lasting happiness.Therefore, to live a happy life, we should focus more on those things that meet our spiritual demands. After all, when our need for bread is met, happiness will not come unless we feel spiritually satisfied.2. I Really Made ItI will never forget the awful feeling in my first Oral English class at college. I tried hard to listen to every word the teacher spoke, but what she was saying made no sense to me. Bitterly, I admitted that I was so poor at listening and speaking in English.I wept several times, cursing my middle school for failing to provide adequate listening and speaking practice. But finally I calmed down because the familiar words rang in my ears: There must be a way out. I had a rather solid foundation of English vocabulary and grammar. What was left for me to do was to increase my listening input and speaking output. I made it a rule that every morning I would do reading aloud by the campus lake for 40 minutes, and every evening I would stay in the language lab, listening to English for at least an hour.Then at the end of the second year came my happiest moment: I got the Scholarship for Academic Excellence. I wore a broad smile when the president granted me the award. I then came to realize that happiness can only be gained through hard work.Unit Four Health(1)1. indifferent2. prejudice3. appealing4. rendered5. threats6. respect7. isolate8. sucked9. infected10. ignorance11. namely12. probable13. reluctantly14. applause15. wept16. issued17. shelter18. contracted19. cheated20. tolerated(2)1. guard against2. concern yourself with3. make room for4. bring … to an end5. in the hope of6. on the ground(s) that7. at risk8. set aside9.

They fi nd, all of a sudden, that they can no more / longer carry on the job they havedone for dozens of years. Some old people cannot adapt themselves to such a change and thus become depressed, believing that they are no longer useful. Indeed, depression has become one of the leading threats to old people’s health. Nonetheless, many old people in China are able to maintain their sense of usefulness by rendering their grown-up children services, such as taking care of their grandchildren and providing allowances to them. The question remains as to whether senior citizens should try other means to fill up their leisure, rendering their later years still more meaningful. I suggest the old concern themselves less with their children and make room for young people to take responsibility for their own lives. After all, the old deserve respect from the young and theyoung should tolerate their aged parents more, on the grounds that the old have contributed so much for so many years both to their family and to society.1. AIDS Across the EarthAIDS has killed and is threatening to kill millions all across the earth. Several million infections are reported by WHO each year.The virus does not care whether you are black or white, male or female, young or old. It will attack you as long as you are a human. Today, AIDS has become the leading killer of young adults and is turning the children whose parents suffer the disease into orphans. It is no exaggeration to say that we live under the shadow of AIDS.There are several possible causes for such a situation: unsafe sexual intercourse; sharing or reusing contaminated needles; transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products; an infected person’s pregnancy, giving birth and breastfeeding, etc. Unfortunately, our ignorance, prejudice and silence have carried the situation to a desperate extreme. Patients are isolated or treated as outcasts by their families and their communities. AIDS victims feel ashamed to be identified as such and try hard to hide their disease. For this reason, they cannot get immediatemedical treatment. Our harmful attitudes towards the disease and its victims have actually placed more people at risk.In our fight against this deadly disease, we should educate people on how to avoid being infected with the disease and how to lead a healthy and secure life and, more importantly, how to treat AIDS patients properly. Only in this way can we really bring AIDS under control.2. Why Do the Young Adults Kill Themselves?Young adults are in the prime of their lives and are supposed to pursue their dreams and enjoy themselves. Yet it was reported in the Guardian that suicide is the main cause of death among young adults in China. Why have so many young people ended their lives?Three factors are thought to account for the high suicide rate: increasing stress, loneliness and a lack of medical support for depression. The most pressing one, I think, is stress. Take my college life for example. From the first day I entered the university, I have been living under pressure. I used to worry that I could not quite fit into the campus life; I also feared that I might not catch up with my classmates in my studies or could not live up to my parents’ expectations. Now I am deeply concerned about whether I can find a desirable job aftergraduation. Endless pressures give rise to stress. Loneliness is another problem. Many young people find they just feel helpless when they are suffering intolerable sadness or frustration.Suicide is a great tragedy, especially for the young. If we can find ways to relieve them of their stress and offer timely help, we may save many young lives.Unit Five Education(1)1. associate2. equipped3. combined4. emphasis5. enlighten6. phase7. graded8. commented9. inspection10. passively11. rural12. negotiate13. indispensable14. illusion15. implemented16. decline17. reconcile18. practically19. residents20. virtual(2)1. so to speak2. try out3. in store4. lend themselves to5. turn my back on6. in accordance with7. crying out for8. is … the case9. step in10. calm down11. brought back12. go after13. reflect on14. get out of15.

是什么造就了奥运冠军?约翰· E· 安德森1992年，在法国阿尔贝维尔冬季奥运会上，当克里斯蒂· 山口在冰场上跌倒时，观众席上一片遗憾的声音。
这位20岁的运动员获得花样滑冰金牌的希望肯定会因这一失足而化为泡影。
但是克里斯蒂站了起来，她灿然一笑，旋转身体，继续表演。
她虽然不幸跌倒，但裁判却给她打了近乎完美的分数。
她能鼓起勇气，重振旗鼓，获得了金牌，这足以证明她的决心和勇气。
作为美国奥运队及许多运动员的顾问，我目睹了许多像克里斯蒂这样年轻的男女运动员：他们在关键时刻能够挖掘自身，找到发挥潜能的一种力量。
他们登上领奖台，不单纯是因为运动才能，还因为他们内在的不屈不挠的意志。
他们拥有梦想。
克里斯蒂·山口6岁时首次穿上溜冰鞋，那时她就想象自己是一名奥运冠军。
邦妮·华纳三度代表美国参加奥运会的仰卧滑行小雪橇比赛。
她直到上了大学才有自己的梦想。
之前，她从未听说过有“仰卧滑行的小雪橇”这种比赛用的雪橇。
这两个年轻女子，一旦拥有梦想，就锲而不舍地、勇敢地追求，为了梦想的实现不遗余力。
最重要的是，这些运动员的父母以及周围的人都支持他们的梦想。
洛雷塔·道斯16岁的女儿多米尼克是代表美国参加奥运会的第一批黑人女性体操运动员之一。
洛雷塔最近告诉记者说，培养一个世界一流的运动员着实不易。
在1992年奥运会之前整整一年中，她很少看见自己的女儿。
为了离体育馆近一点，女儿和教练住在一块，那儿离家有45分钟的车程。
当有人请她给其他运动员的父母提一些建议的时候，她的回答简单却极具说服力。
“相信你的孩子吧，” 她这样说。
这并非意味着每个拥有奥运梦想的孩子都能有朝一日登上领奖台。
但是，梦想是通向成功的第一步—— 哪怕当初的梦想最终让孩子走向另一条不同的道路。
他们满怀激情。
优秀运动员们梦寐以求的奥运圣火在他们的内心深处燃烧。
他们有强大的动力，不仅要成为最优秀的运动员，还要竭尽全力去实现目标—— 始终不渝。

Living together in acommunity, we naturally expect to have friends. As to what friendship is, we have read different definitions givenby Aristotle, an ancientGreek philosopher,and Cicero, a Roman statesman. No one will deny that some people make friendssimply for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears,the friendship also breaks up. However,a lot more people long for “soul pals”— those who possess virtues and withwhom we can go through trials andtribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed andviolence and inspire us to have thecourage of our convictions. Such is what we call “true friendship”. It iswith such friends’ company that we find ourselves surpassing our old selves and becoming better persons / people.Theme-Related Writing▆Sampleessay for task 1:Bob and I became brother-like friends in ourchildhood.

In other words the author draws a clear distinction between training and education. The former provides onewith skills for a job or career while the latter enables one to become a civilized person by coming into contact with the best minds in history.5) How can a person become civilized according to the text?A person has to enter the past and familiarize himself/herself with both the technical and spiritual resources created by mankind, so that he/she could become civilized and play his/her role in civilization.6) What does the author think of the mission undertaken by the faculties of a university? How can they accomplish this mission?The faculties of liberal arts colleges as well as of specialized schools are entrusted with the mission to put students in close contact with the best human minds in history. They should turn themselves into some sort of storehouse of human experience and try their best to communicate that experience to their students, so that their students will become civilized humans instead of savages who only know how to operate machines or push buttons.2 Text A can be divided into three parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1–7 In response to the challenge posed by a particular student who merely intends to pursue skills at college and takes no interest in literature, the author draws a distinction between professional training and college education. Theformer can only provide students with professional skills while the latter enables students to become civilized humans. Hence the importance of liberal arts education at college.Two 8–10 College education must enable students to come into contact with the best minds in history, so that they can become civilized and useful human beings instead of new species of savages who only know how to operate machines or push buttons. Three 11 College education must target at enabling students to become both specialists and civilized humans. All college teachers must make themselves some sort of storehouse of human experience and try their best to communicate that experience to their students.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1) Will there be a book in the house? Will there be a painting a reasonably sensitive man can look at without shuddering? (Para. 5) Do you have a cultivated mind to know what books your family should read? And do you know what kind of paintings you should put up on the wall that would not offend a cultured eye?2) “I hope you make a lot of it,” I told him, “because you’re going to be badly stuck for something to do when you’re not signing checks.” (Para. 7)I hope you will make a lot of money, but I’m sure you’ll be at a loss what to do when you are not signing checks. In other words, you can have a lot of money, but you may not live a meaningful and fulfilling life.3) You are on the way to being new species of mechanized savage, the Pushbutton Neanderthal. (Para. 8)Not getting in touch with what the best human minds have thought, you are going to be uncivilized humans or a new type of savages who can only operate machines by pushing buttons.4) Our colleges inevitably graduate a number of such life forms, but it cannot be said that they went to college; rather, the college went through them — without making contact. (Para. 8)A number of our college graduates have indeed turned out to be “new species of mechanized savage”. This only means that they have not received a college education though they have spent some time there, for they have failed to make contact with the best human minds in history.5) If you are too much in a hurry, or too arrogantly proud of your own limitations, to accept as a gift to your humanity some pieces of the minds of Sophocles, of Aristotle, of Chaucer — and right down the scale and down the ages to Yeats, Einstein, E.B. White, and Ogden Nash —then you may be protected by the laws governing manslaughter, and you may be avoting entity, but you are neither a developed human being nor a useful citizen of a democracy. (Para. 10)Even if you are too busy or feel complacent and, therefore, refuse to come into contact with the best human minds within history, you can still be protected by law and enjoy the right to democratic voting. But you can never be considered as an educated, civilized person; nor can you be accepted by society as a useful citizen in a democratic nation.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Put down the right word from Text B in the space provided according to the given definition.

Why or why not? No. Because there are so many different types of knowledge; any attempt to know everything would be an illusion.5) What’s the fundamental function of general education?General education provides the passport to lifelong education.

How can the aim be achieved?The aim of “learning to be” is the complete fulfillment of man. All people should receive an education that would equip them to develop an independent, critical way of thinking and exercising judgment.9) As far as education is concerned, what society should we build in the 21st century?We should build a learning society based on the acquisition, renewal and use of knowledge.2 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say in the following sentences.1) This is precisely the case where education policies are concerned. (Para. 2) The solution to any serious problem involves much consideration, cooperation and negotiation. It is exactly the same with educational policies, which can only be worked out through lots of discussions and negotiations.2) Since knowledge is of multiple nature, any attempt to know everything becomes more and more pointless. (Para. 5)There are so many different kinds of knowledge that it is increasingly meaningless and impossible to train students into specialists in all fields.3) The future of industrial economies hinges on their ability to turn advances in knowledge into innovations that will generate new businesses and new jobs. (Para. 6)The future of industrial economies depends critically on their ability to turn the development in knowledge into creative ideas, new methods or inventions. With creativity, new businesses and new jobs will be created.4) None of the talents which are hidden like buried treasure in every person must be left untapped. (Para. 7)The education one receives, which begins at birth and continues all through one’s life, should help develop and put into full play one’s potentials and talents.Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

The students acquire professional skills in order to have the minimum qualifications to become specialists, such as pharmacists, engineers, technicians and lawyers. It might be reasonable to believe that those skills suffice to enable them to get a good job. Nevertheless, does one feel content with merely a good job? We know that most young people who enroll in universities long for not only professional training, but also quality education; namely, they want to learn what the past learnt for them and get in touch with the minds and experience of the master thinkers in order to become civilized people. Those who are knowledgeable only in their peculiar fields may be labeled (as) “mechanized savages”, because of their incompetence in understanding the thinking and works of other fields, for example, philosophy, literature and the arts. Thus, the university is most likely to help young people realize two dreams after they graduate:having a good job where their occupational training will be effective, and living a meaningful life for which diversity of knowledge is required.Theme-Related WritingDo either one of the following two tasks after class.1.Write an essay entitled “The Significance of Lifelong Education.” The following outlinemay be of some help:1)In the past, a college education was enough to ensure a well-paid, much-respected joband a sense of achievement.2)Today, with the increasing competition in our “knowledge society”, it is a must to renewone’s knowledge and upgrade one’s skills. What’s more, a general college education serves only as a passport to lifetime education.3)The concept of lifelong education finds expression in the slogan “Live and Learn.”2.“Should Family Schooling E xist?” This question is raised in a news report carried in anEnglish newspaper in China. Read the report below and write a short essay to express your own views on the issue.▆ Sample essay for task 1:The Significance of Lifelong EducationDecades ago, due to the low standard of living in China, only a small percentage of the nation’s population could receive college education. Once given the opportunity, one would surely secure a well-paid and much-respected job, which he or she would probably do for a lifetime. Therefore, to secure a college degree used to be the ultimate goal of a person’s education.Today, however, we are living in what is called a “knowledge society,” where creative ideas and innovations are generated at a fantastic speed. One must constantly renew one’s knowledge and upgrade one’s skills so as to meet the needs of the changing world. Moreover, at the stage of general education, it is pointless for a person to attempt to know everything. When one is required to settle down to be a specialist in a specific field, one has to make an in-depth study of the subject one is supposed to know. In this sense, general education can provide students with only a passport to lifelong education. As Robert Maynard Hutchins once said, the object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.In my opinion, life in modern society is not only a process of “learning to live” but also a process of “living to learn”. The slogan “Live and Learn” can best reflect the concept of lifelong education.

But the local education authorities in Shanghai have declared it illegal according to a report in 21st Century. Should family schooling exist? What role should it play?In my opinion, family schooling should be permitted to play a positive role in the current educational system in China. Every family should be free to choose the form of education that best suits their children’s interests and natural gifts. Although the existing education system in China has remarkably improved, it does not fit each child perfectly. Since family schooling provides a means to develop a person’s talents and unique interest, Meng Mu Tang, as a private school geared to a specific group of children, should not be banned in haste. In view of the current dynamic, quality-minded educational reforms in China, we should permit family schooling to enrich and diversify our educational system.On the other hand, home schooling should adapt itself to the modern world. To prepare children for the future, it should equip them with knowledge and innovative power so that they can cope with the development of the modern world. While tapping children’s innate talents on an individual basis, family schooling should never neglect their all-round development. Meng MuTang may not be a perfect private school, but we should let it live and have a try so that family schooling may eventually become an indispensable component of our formal education.
