A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-t o-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or news and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and duringmass communication has become one of theFirstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, radio and television.speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception ofcommunications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself i s often almost eclipsed by international news.Extra Passage 12 Key: BDCBUnit 13Text: ExercisesA: aB.D.Fast readingHome ReadingCloze 13Imagining being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only of members of own sex. How would you react? Unless there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all more surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children – conditions which they themselves wouldn’t put up with for one minute!Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. Stuffing children’s heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among them. One of the chief aims/goals/purposes of educations is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society. Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock.A co-educational school offers/provides children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical advantage it is ( to givejust a small example ) to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense co-education makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girl or vice-versa. When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. Rivalry between the sexes is fostered. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its proper place.Extra Passage 13 Key: DCDAUnit 14Text: ExercisesA: cB.D.Fast readingHome ReadingExtra Passage 14 Key: CACCDUnit 15Text: ExercisesA: cB.D.Fast readingHome ReadingExtra Passage 15 Key: CBBDA。

Jim may not be a born farmer,but he gets by without too much trouble.Not that he has had it easy.That first hard winter he faced must have left him with the temptation to give up and go back to the city.But he managed to get through it without losing heart.He’s picked up a lot of skills since then and made some real improvements to his farm,though without much laborsaving machinery,aside from that old rotary cultivator.I suspect he doesn’t make all that much,though he does have his writing to supplement what little profit he makes from the farm.I guess he does it primarily for the quality of life.Certainly,they seem a happy family and you can often see them out working together,one day spraying apple trees,the next stacking fierwood.吉姆出生的可能不是一个农民,但他没有太多的麻烦。

大学英语泛读第三册答案Unit OneLesson 13. 1) 废话连篇的人毕竟是个例，不是惯例，我们姑且不谈他们。

可是还有些人，他们说话或说明某些事情的时候，简直不知道什麽时候适可而止。

2）他们急于证明自己的观点，不知什麽时候该打住。

他们似乎以为听众如此低能，以至于听不懂最简单的事，每件事都要多次重复才能灌输到头脑里去。

3）那些有口才的人总是讨人喜欢，随时随地受欢迎他们是聚会和社交场合的中心人物。

4）我想自己掏钱补上差额再简单不过了，肯定事后他还会给我的。

所以，我没有回去向他要钱。

但是，我很快发现我是大错特错了5）辩白使我酿成大错，而沉默使我不可救药。

A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-t o-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to nationalnews, which itself i s often almost eclipsed by international news.Extra Passage 12 Key: BDCBUnit 13Text: ExercisesA: aB. 1.c 2.d 3.c 4.a 5.d 6.b 7.a 8.bD. 1.c 2.b 3.a 4.d 5.a 6.c 7.a 8.b 9.d 10.bFast reading1.c2.d3.a4.c5.c6.c7.a8.c9.c 10.d 11.b 12.d 13.b 14.d 15.bHome Reading1.b2.d3.b4.c5.c6.b7.d8.dCloze 13Imagining being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only ofthere was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least.

Stuffing children’s heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost amongrequire to take their place in adult society. Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock.nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunityto get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a positionand many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical advantage it is ( to give just a small example ) to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense co-education makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girl or vice-versa. When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. Rivalry between the sexes is fostered.

【最新整理，下载后即可编辑】Unit1. The ability to predict what the writer is going/ about/ trying to say next is both an aid to understanding and a sign of it.A prediction begins from the moment you read the title and from expectations of what he book is likely to contain. Even if the expectations/predictions are contradicted, they are useful because they have started you thinking about the topic and made you actively involved.If you formulate your predictions as questions which you think the text may answer, you are preparing yourself to read for a purpose: to see which of your questions are in fact dealt with and what answers are offered. If your reading is more purposeful you are likely to understand better.Naturally your predictions/expectations will not always be correct. This does not matter at all as long as you recognize when they are wrong, and why. In fact mistaken predictions can tell you the source of misunderstanding and help you to avoid certain false assumptions.Prediction is possible at a number of levels. From the title of the book you can know/foretell the topic and the possibly something about the treatment. From the beginning of the sentences, you can often predict how the sentence will end. Between these extremes, you can predict what will happen next in a story, or how a writer will develop/present his argument, or what methods will be used to test a hypothesis.Because prediction ensures the reader’s active involvement, it is worth training.cation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children just/only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that, by free education for all, one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that freeeducation for all is not enough; we find in some/many countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they think to be "low" work, and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to see/know/understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit ourselves for life, it means that we must be ready/willing/educated/taught to do whatever job suited to our brain and ability, and to realize that all jobs are necessary to society, that is very wrong/incorrect/erroneous to be ashamed of one's work or to scorn someone else’s. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.Unit3. Human beings learn to communicate with each other will nonlinguistic means as well as linguistic ways/means/ones. All of us are familiar with the say it wasn’t what he said; it was the way that he said it when, by using/saying the word way we mean something about the particular vice quality that was in evidence., or the set of a shoulder, or the obvious tension of certain muscles. A message may even be sent by the accompanying tone and gestures, so that each of I’m ready, you are beautiful, and I don’t know where he is can mean the opposite of any such interpretation. Often we have/meet/encounter/experience difficulty in finding exactly what in the communication causes the change of meaning, and any statement we make leads to the source of the gap between the literal meaning of the words and the total message that is likely to be expressed in impressionistic terms. It is likely to refer to some thing like a “glint”in a person’s eyes, or a “threatening” gesture, or “provocative” manner.Unit4. How do the birds find their way on their enormously long journeys? The young birds are not taught the road by their parents, because often the parents fly off first. We have no idea how the birds find their way, particularly as many of them fly at/by night, when landmarks could hardly be seen. And other birds migrate over the sea, where there are no landmarks at all. A certain kind of plover, for instance/example, nests in Canada. At the end of the summer these birds migrate from Canada to South America; they fly 2,500 miles, non-stop, over the ocean. Not only is this very long flight an extraordinary feat of endurance, but there are no landmarks on the ocean to guide/direct the birds.It has been suggested that birds can sense the magnetic lines of force stretching from the north to south magnetic pole of the earth, and so direct themselves. But all experiments hitherto made to see whether magnetism has any effect/influence whatsoever on animals have given negative results. Still, where there is such a biological mystery as migration, even improbable experiments are worth trying. It/this was being done in Poland, before the invasion of that country, on the possible influence of magnetism on path-finding. Magnets were attached to the birds’ heads to see if/whether their direction-sense was confused thereby. These unfinished experiments had, of course, to be stopped.Unit5. Man first existed on earth half a million years ago. Then he was little more than an animal; but early man had several big advantages over the animals. He had a large head/brain, he had an upright body, he had clever hands; he had in his brain special groups of nerve cells, not found in animals, that enabled him to invent a language and use it to communicate with his fellow men. The ability to speak was of very great use/value/significance/importance because it wasallowed men to share ideas, and to plan together, so that tasks impossible for a single person could be successfully under-taken by intelligent team-work. Speech also enabled ideas to be passed on from generation to generation so that the stock of human knowledge slowly increased.It was these special advantages that put men far ahead of all other living creatures in the struggle for survival/existence. They can use their intelligence handing/overcoming their difficulties and master them.Unit6. Language varies according to sex and occupation. The language of man differs subtly from that of women. Men do not usually use expressions such as “its darling,” and women tend not to swear as extensively as men. Likewise, the language used in addressing men and women differs subtly: we can compliment a man on a new necktie with the compliment/words“what a pretty tie, that is!” but not with “how pretty you look today!” ---- an expression reserved for complimenting a woman. The occupation of a person causes his language to vary, particular in the use he makes of technical terms, that is, in the use he makes of the jargon of his vacation. Soldiers, dentist, hairdressers, mechanics, yachtsmen, and skiers all have their particular special languages. Sometimes the consequence is that such persons have difficulty in communicating with people outside the vacation on professional maters because the technical vocabulary is not understood by all. Although we can relate certain kinds of jargon to levels of occupation and professional training, we must also note that all occupations have some jargon, even these of the criminal underworld. There may well be a more highly developed use of jargon in occupations that require considerable education, in which words, and the concepts they use, are manipulated rather than objects, for example in the legal and teaching circle/world/field and in the world of finance.Unit7. The space age began on October 4, 1957, when Sputnik Iwas launched. This first man-made satellite was followed by many others, some of which went around the sun. Now the conquest of the space between the planets, and between the earth and the sun, continues at a rapid rate.Each mew satellite and space probe gives scientists new information. As men explore outer space, some of the questions they have long asked/wondered about will be answered at last.The greatest question of all concerns life itself. Is there intelligent life out side the earth? Are there people, or creatures of some sort/kind living on Mars, Venus, or some other planet of the solar system? Are there planets orbiting/going/circling around stars other than our sun?The only kind of life we know about would have to be upon a planet. Only a planet would have the temperatures and gas that all living things seem to need. Until a short time ago, we thought there were only a few planets. Today, scientists believe that many stars have planets going around them.We know that there are nine planets in our own solar system-Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. If any other planets exist in our solar system, or anywhere else, our telescopes are not powerful enough to pick up their feeble reflected light. But astronomers guess that one star in a hundred has at least one planet where life could exist.We are quite sure that life could begin on a young planet. A new plant would be likely to contain great seas, together with heavy clouds of water vapor and other gases. Electric storms would be common. It is possible that simple living cells might from when electricity passed through the clouds. An experiment made in 1952 at the University of Chicago seems to prove this. By passing electricity through nonliving materials, scientist made cells like those of living creatures.Unit8. At the beginning of the nineteenth century the onlyacceptable roles for women were domestic there was virtually nothing for them to do except stay at home or hire out as maids, governesses, and, before long, teachers. Women were not allowed to own property-in most cases, not even the clothes they wore. A working wife was not allowed to keep her wages but was required to turn them over to her husband. In case of separation or divorce, a woman had no legal claims on her husband and was not allowed to keep the children. She had to legal status, which meant that she was not permitted to bring suit or to give testimony in courts. Often, she was not permitted to inherit property or to make a will. She was barred from public office and excluded form public life generally. For the most part, women lacked opportunities for education, vocational training, and professional employment. The national consensus was that women belong in the home, and determined efforts were made to see that they stayed there.Unit9. Sydney’s best feature is her harbor.Most Sydneysiders can see at least a glimpse of blue sea from their windows. Nearly everyone lives within an hour from a beach. On weekends sails of all shapes, sizes and colors glide across the water. Watching the yacht races is a favorite Saturday activity.The harbor divides Sydney into north and south sections. The harbor bridge connects the two. It was built in 1932 and cost 20 million.Another Sydney symbol stands on the harbor shore. Sydney’s magnificent opera house celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Danish designer Jorn Utzon won an international contest with his design. The structure contains several auditoria and theaters. But not all concerts are held in the building. Sunday afternoon concerts on the building’s outer walk attract many listeners.Sydney’s trendy suburb is Paddington. Houses are tightly packed together. Many were first built for Victorian artists. Nowfashionable shops, restaurants, arts galleries and interesting people fill the area. The best time to visit is Saturday, when vendors sell everything. So there is one of the world’s most attractive cities --- Sydney, Austrian.Unit 10 Architectural design influences how privacy is a chieved as well as how social contact is made in public places. The concept of privacy is not unique to a particular culture but what it means is culturally determined.People in the United States tend to achieve privacy by physically separating themselves from others. The expression “good fences make good neighbors” is a preference for privacy from neighbors’ homes. If a family can afford it, each child has his or her own bedroom. When privacy is needed, family members may close their bedroom doors.In some cultures when individuals need privacy, it is acceptable for them simply to look into themselves. That is, they do not need to remove themselves physically from a group in order to achieve privacy. Young American children learn the rule “knock before you enter” which teaches them to respect others’ privacy. Parents, too, often follow this rule prior to entering their children’s rooms. When a bedroom door is closed it may be a(n) sign to others saying, “I need privacy,” “I’m angry,” or “Do not disturb. I’ busy.” For Americans, the physical division of space and the use of architectural features permit a sense of privacy.The way space is used to help the individual to achieve privacy, to build homes or to design cities if culturally influenced. Dr. Hall summarizes the relationship between individuals and their physical surroundings: Man and his extensions constitute one interrelated system. It is a mistake to act as though man was one thing and his house or his cities, or his language wee something else.Unit11. The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world.Its books, pamphlets, documents, manuscripts, official, papers, photographs, and prints amount to some 86 million items---a number that swells day by day----housed on 535 miles of shelves.Congress authorized a library in 1800, which amounted to three thousand books and a few maps when it was destroyed when the British burned the Capitol in 1814. to replace it, Thomas Jefferson sold the government his own library of almost 6500 volumes---the finest in the nation at the time. The collection, again housed in the Capitol, had grown to 55000 when a fire burned more than half of it. In 1866 a portion of the Smithsonian Institution’s library was added to the library of Congress, and in the same year the government entered an international program by which copies of U.S. documents were exchanged for those of other countries. The copyright law of 1870 ensured the library would always be up to date by requiring publishers to send two copies of each book published to the library in order to obtain copyright.By 1870 the collections had outgrown its Capitol quarters. A suggestion to raise the Capitol dome and fill it with bookshelves was rejected, and in 1873 Congress authorized a competition for the design of a library building. A variety of disputes delayed construction for more than a decade, but the library’s Thomas Jefferson Building was finally opened in 1897.Unit12. As a nation, we starting to realize that we can’t solve the solid waste dilemma just by finding new places to put trash. Across the country, many individuals, communities and business have found creative ways to reduce and better manage their trash through a coordinated mix of practices that includes source reduction.Simply put source reduction is waste prevention.It includes many actions that reduce the disposal amount and harmfulness of waste created. Source reduction can conserve resources, reduce pollution, and help cut waste disposal and handing costs (it avoids the costs ofrecycling, landfilling, and combustion).Source reduction is a basic solution to too much garbage: less waste means less of a waste problem. Because source reduction actually prevents the increase of waste in the first place, it comes before other measures that deal with trash after it is already generated. After source reduction, recycling is the preferred waste management option because it reduces the amount of waste going to landfills and conserves resources.Unit13. The first step in helping the patient is to accept and acknowledge his illness. The cause of symptoms must be found, and measures to relieve them and to prevent recurrence must be taken. Thorough examinations are essential. Although the physician may suspect that the illness is due to emotional rather than physical cause, he must search carefully for any evidence of physical disease. It is not unknown for an illness considered psychosomatic to be later diagnosed as cancer or some other disease. The thorough search for physical causes of the symptoms helps to gain the patient’s confidence. He knows that his condition and symptoms are being taken seriously. If no organic basis for his complaints is found, he usually will find this news easier to accept when he knows he has had a thorough examination. Finding no physical cause for the disorder points the way to understanding the patient’s condition. What is the cause? Is it emotional stress? If so, what kind? What are the problems which are upsetting the patients?Unit14. The work of French scientist Jean Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) has contributed to the theory of evolution. Lamarck believed that the environment shaped the nature/trait/characteristic of plant and animal life. he believed that the bodies of plants and animals changed/had to fit their environment and a useful physical change would be passed on to the plant’s or animal’s offspring.For example, Lamarck thought that giraffes developed long necksbecause they had to stretch to get/eat the leaves of tall trees for food. Lamarck didn’t think that giraffes possessed/developed/had long necks all at once, however. He thought that the earliest group of giraffes stretched/lengthened their necks a small amount. Their offspring inherited this longer neck. The offspring then stretched their necks a little bit longer. They passed this even longer neck on to their own offspring.After many generations, giraffes developed the long necks that they have today.Not all of Lamarck’s theory is accepted today. Most scientists do not believe that the environment has a(n)effect/influence on the evolution of li fe forms. Nut they don’t agree with the notion/idea that a physical change in a plant’s or animal’s body is passed on to the offspring. Instead, they believe that a change must occur in the plant’s or animal’s cells before a change in offspring can take pl ace.Unit15. In a very big city, in which millions of people live and work, fast, frequent means of transportation are of the greatest importance. In London, where most people live long distance/away from their work, all officers, factories and schools would have to choose if the buses, the trains and the Underground stopped work.Originally the London Underground had steam trains which were not very different from other English trains, except that they went along in big holes under the ground in order to keep away from the crowded city above their heads. Steam trains used coal, which filled the underground stations with terrible smoke. As a result, the old trains were taken away, and electric ones put in their place. Now the London Underground is very clean, and the electric trains make faster runs possible.At every Underground station/stop there are maps of all the Underground lines in London, so that it is easy to see how to get wherever one wants to go. Each station has its name written up clearly and in large letters several times, so that one can see when one comesto where one must get out. At some stations one can change to a different underground train,and in some places, such as Piccadilly, there are actually three lines crossing each other. The trains on the three lines are not on the same level, so that there should not be accidents. To change trains, one has to go up or down some stairs to a new level. It would be tiring to have to walk up these stairs/steps, so the stairs are made to move themselves, and all that the people/passengers have to do is to stand and be carried up or down to where they wish. In fact, everything is done to make the Underground fast and efficient.Unit16.Why “grandfather” clock? Well, these clocks were passed through the family and so were always thought of as “grandfather’s clock.” But the first domestic timepieces were hung from a nail on the wall.Unfortunately dust got into the works and even worse children used to swing from the weights and the pendulum. So first the face and works and then the weights and the pendulum were protected by wooden cases. Before long the clock was nearly all case and was stood on the ground/floor and called, not surprisingly, a long-case clock. These “grandfather” clocks were ve ry expensive, made as they were from fine wood, often beautifully carved or decorated with ivory. Famous makers of this period included Thomas Tompion, John Harrison and Edward East, but don’t get too excited if you find that the clock Grandma left you has one of these names on the back. Before you start jumping up and downing and shouting, “we’re rich, we’re rich,” remember that plenty of people before the 20th century had the idea of making cheap clocks/timepieces of famous original and “borrowing” the names of their betters. And don’t forget that the first chiming mechanism wasn’t invented/created/made until 1695, so a chiming clock, however charming it sounds, will date from the 18th century. A fake/false/imitated late 17th century grandfather clock made by East sold recently for just under 20000.Unit17.Suppose you send your child off to the movies for three hours next Sunday. And three hours on Monday and the same number of hours Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Thus is essentially what is happening to the average child in American today, except it is not the screen in the movie house down the street he sits in front of, it is instead the television set right in your own house. According to the Nielsen Index figures for TV viewing, it is dais that by the time a child graduates from high school he has had 11000 hours of schooling, as opposed to 15000 hours of viewing. I would like to repeat that. By the time the child is 18 years old, he has spent more hours in front of TV than he has in school. Over TV he will have witnessed by that time some 18000 murders and countless highly detailed cases of robbery, arson, bombing, shooting, beatings, forgery, smuggling, and torture---averaging approximately cone per minute in the standard television cartoon for children under the age of ten. In general, seventy-five percent of all network dramatic programs contain violence.Dr. Albert Bandura of Standford University reaches/draws two conclusions about violence on TV: (1) that it tends to reduce the child’s inhibitions against acting in a violent, aggressive manner, and(2) that children will imitate what they see. Dr. Bandura points out thata child won’t necessarily run out and attack the first person he sees after watching violence on the screen, but that, if provoked later on, he may very well put what he has learned into practice.One of the lessons of television is that, violence works. If you have a problem with someone, the school of TV says to slap him in the face, stab him in the back. Because most of the program has shown how well violence has paid off, punishment at the end tends not to have much of an inhibitory effect.。

Cloze 1The ability to predict what the writer is 1to say next is both an aid to understanding and a sign of it.Prediction begins from the moment you read the title and form expectations of what the book is likely to contain. Even if the 2 are contradicted. They are useful because they have started you thinking about the topic and made you actively involved.If you formulate your predictions as 3 which you think the text may answer, you are preparing yourself to read for a purpose: to see which of your questions are in fact dealt with and what 4 are offered. If your reading is more purposeful you are likely to understand better.Naturally your 5 will not always be correct. This does not matter at all as long as you recognize when they are wrong, and why. In fact mistaken predictions can 6 you the sources of misunderstanding and help you to avoid certain false assumptions.Prediction is possible at a number of levels. From the title of a book you can7 the topic and possibly something about the treatment. From the beginning of a sentence, you can often predict how the sentence will 8 . Between these extremes, you can predict what will happen next in a story, or how a writer will9 his argument, or what methods will be used to test a hypothesis.Because prediction ensures the readers active involvement, it is 10 training.Cloze 2Human beings learn to1 with each other with nonlinguistic means as well as linguistic2 . All of us are familiar with the saying “It wasn’t what he said; it was the way he said it “when, by3 the word “way”, we mean something about the particular voice quality that was4evidence, or the set of a shoulder, or the obvious tension5 several muscles. A(n)6 may even be sent by the accompanying tone and gestures, so that each of “I’m ready” “You are beautiful”, and “I don’t know where he is” can mean the opposite of any such interpretation. Often we7 difficulty in finding exactly what in the communication8the change of meaning, and any statement we make leads to the source of the gap between the literal 9 of the words and the total message that is likely to be expressed in impressionistic terms. It is likely to refer 10 something like a “glint” in a person’s 11 , or a “threatening” gesture, or “provocative” manner.Cloze 3For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 1 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 2 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 3 in the actual stuff of language itself- words. Taken individually, words have 4 meaning until they are strung together into phrases sentences and paragraphs. 5 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to reread words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 6 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which7 down the speed of reading is vocalization- sounding each word either orally or mentally as 8 reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator whichmoves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 9 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization, practically impossible. At first 10 is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill drastically improved after some training. Take Charles Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he cancover a lot more reading material in a short period of time.Cloze 4Evidence of the benefits that volunteering can bring older people continues to roll in. “Volunteers have improved physical and social functioning,”said Fengyan Tang, an assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of social work, who has 1 older volunteers. “They report better well-being and greater life 2 . There’s a 3 risk of death compared to non-volunteers.”It was 4 a few weeks back on a public school program 5 volunteers, in a small-scale initial study, appeared to reduce their risk of cognitive decline.But we’re also learning that not all volunteering is created equal. In Dr. Tang’s most recent study, 6 in The Gerontologist, she surveyed 207 volunteers (average age: 72) who spent 7 average 6 hours a week on programs providing 8 services as preparing meals or teaching computer skills.The results 9 how important the programs’organization and administration can be. Volunteers reported greater “socio-emotional benefits”--- a sense of having made important 10, feelings of enhanced well-being --- when the programs provided greater “organizational support.”Cloze 5Who hasn't wanted to master not just two languages but 10? Take Giuseppe Mezzofanti, a 19th-century priest who was said to be 1 in as many as 50 languages. Native speakers came from all over the world to test his2 , and many left astonished.In Babel No More, Michael Erard investigates the legend of Mezzofanti and3 linguistic prodigies. Early on Erard asks what it4 to really know a language. Claire Kramsch, a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley, tells him the question should not be "How many languages do you know?" but rather "In how many languages do you live?" Understanding the cultural nuances of a 5 requires extensive ongoing 6 with its speakers, and for that7 Kramsch doubts that anyone could ever live in more than four or five languages.Fair enough, but what about astonishing feats of memory and computation that people display when they 8 up a new language, or eight? Erard 9 out that, for no good reason, this question has been neglected by science. After all, we study extraordinary 10 in mathematics and music; why not linguistic geniuses?Cloze 6When shopkeepers want to 1 customers into buying a particular product, they typicallyoffer it at a discount. According to a new study to be published in the Journal of Marketing, they are 2 a trick.A team of researchers, led by Akshay Rao of University of Minnesota, looked at customers’3 to discounting. Shoppers, they found, much 4 getting something extra free to getting something cheaper. The main reason is that most people are 5 at fractions.Consumers often struggle to realize, for __6__, that a 50% increase in quantity is the same as a 33% discount in price. They immediately assume that the former is better value. In an experiment, the researchers sold 73% more hand lotion when it was 7 in a bonus pack when it carried an equivalent discount.This numerical blind spot remains even when the deal clearly favors the discounted product. In another experiment, this time on his undergraduates, Mr. Rao offered two deals on loose coffee beans: 33% extra free or 33% 8 the price. The discount is by 9 the better proposition, but the experiment shows the supposedly clever students viewed them 10 equivalent.U7There is a belief 1many educators that student attention peaks during the first 15 minutes of classroom instruction—a misconception, according to a recent study2 at Kennesaw State University.In fact, according to the study, one action that can 3whether students maintain their focus during the lecture is dependent on where they4 in the classroom. The study's authors "noticed that students in the front and middle of the classroom" stayed on task, while students who sat in the back of the classroom were more distracted.Professors face many issues to5 their students' attentions in the classroom—texting, social media, and in-class chatter among students, to name a few—6 there are steps educators can take to refocus the class during a lecture, the study's authors note."When the professor became very lively, drew something on the board, injected humor or if he was using analogies that were not listed in the power point slides then the students tended to watch him," the authors write.According to the study, students also appeared to pay more7 when the professor went over answers from a quiz, introduced a new slide or information, or shared videos with the classroom. But one 8 that many professors take, which may be9among students, could have an impact on in-class focus: offering notes from the lecture before the start of class."If studen ts printed out notes available to them before lecture … they seemed to pay10attention to the board," the study's authors write, "and tended to get off task quicker than those students who had to copy everything down."Cloze 8With unemployment tide throughout the rich world, more and more young people are seeking internships. Many firms, nervous about the future, are 1 to hire permanent staff until they have tested them. Intern-recruitment agencies are popping 2 to help. Inspiring Interns, a London firm, boasts that it can 3 competent interns within three days. It processes 300 applicants a day, and claims that 65% of the interns it has placed have been 4.Many intern candidates have no previous 5 experience and only a vague notion of6 work involves. Inspiring Interns screens them with personality tests, coaches them on interview technique. Many internships are unpaid; the firm charges employers 500 pounds a month for each intern plus 10% starting salary if an intern is hired permanently.Some complain that unpaid internships are exploitative. They also worry that only well-heeled youngsters can afford to work 7 nothing. If an internship is the first step on the career ladder, the less affluent will never climb it.Others disagree. They think anything that gives people an 8 to gain experience is a good thing. Official statistics about internships are not enough, 9 surveys by the National Association of Colleges and Employers suggest that they work quite well. The average hourly wage for an intern studying for a bachelor’s degree in America is 16.21 dollars, though arty organizations typically pay nothing. Most important, more than 60% of interns in America are eventually offered full-time jobs. Staff who first work as interns are also more 10 to stick around than those who do not.Cloze 9Students have become obsessed 1building impressive CVs. But isn't there more to life 2 laying the foundations for your future career?This preoccupation with CV-building is3 to the pressure on people in today's society to be conspicuously successful. You have only to turn on the TV to be reminded4a lot of people have achieved far more than you at a younger age. This creates a feeling of urgency to do something extraordinary as quickly as possible – or at least to find a way of5 yourself as extraordinary.Almost like a business, we are managing our time and effort to develop a brand that we present to the world.One example is our Facebook page: we constantly sift through pictures and information, deciding what to share and what to leave 6 . When it 7 to our CVs, we are deliberately having experiences that we can list as "achievements".In today's jobs market, the message is clear: good grades are no longer enough. We need an impressive list of extracurricular activities that8 us from all the other smart and motivated students: we need some relevant work-experience; we need to volunteer; we should have done some work for a charity or 9 our time to some impressive hobbies. In 10 , we need to prove to our future employers that we are unique, and a perfect fit for the job they're offering.Cloze 10Here are the three most common mistakes language learners make - and how to correct them.Rigid thinking.Linguists have found that students with a low tolerance of ambiguity tend to struggle with language learning. Language learning involves a lot of uncertainty –students will 1 new vocabulary daily, and for each grammar 2 there will be a dialectic exception or irregular verb. Until native-like fluency is achieved, there will always be some level of ambiguity. The type of learner who sees a new word and reaches for the dictionary instead of guessing the meaning from the 3 may feel disoriented in an immersion class. Ultimately, they might quit their language studies out of sheer frustration. It’s a difficult mindset to break, but small exercises can help. Find a song or text in the 4 language and practice figuring out the gist, even if a fewwords are unknown.A Single methodSome learners are most comfortable 5 the listen-and-repeat drills of a language lab or podcast. Some need a grammar textbook to make 6 of a foreign tongue. Each of these 7 is fine, but it’s a mistake to rely 8 only one. Language learners who use multiple methods get to practice different skills and see concepts explained in different ways. What’s more, the variety can keep them 9 getting stuck in a learning rut.FearIn Eastern cultures where saving face is strong social value, EFL teachers often complain that students, 10 years of leaning English, simply will not speak it. They’re too afraid of making grammatical mistakes or mispronouncing words in a way that would embarrass them.U11Did you know that a task that’s interrupted takes 50% longer and has 50% more mistakes than an uninterrupted one? It takes a while for our brains to get 1 a focused state _ 2__ we’are able to concentrate fully __3___a task without feeling distracted. Once we’re in that state, we can enjoy a vey productive flow, as long as we don’t get interrupted.A focused mind is still sensitive to disruption from external input. Interruptions—i.e. switching to a different, largely unrelated ___4__ set of thought patterns—erase and scramble much of your previously loaded and nicely optimized brain state.When you interrupt someone, on ___5____ it takes them 23 minutes to get ___6____ to the original task, plus up to 30 minutes to return to the flow state __7______ they can be fully productive again. Almost half of the time you interrupt someone, you’ll actually knock them off task completely, such that they won’t return to the original task right away when the interruption ends. You may think you’re only putting them on pause for a minute or two, but the actual break from the task that results ___8____ your interruption may be significantly __9. Frequent task switching has also been measured to significantly increase stress level. So interrupting others not only hurts their productivity, but it may also damage their health. Interruptions are expensive too. One estimate puts the 10 of workplace interruptions at $588 billion per year in lost productivity for the U.S. economy.Cloze 12Clearly if we are to participate in the society 1 which we live, we must 2 with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed3a person-t o-person basis by the simple means 4 speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are 5 to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other 6 of society.Face-to-face contact is 7 no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of 8 communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. 9,inventiveness has led10 advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself i s often almost eclipsed by international news.U13Imagining being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only1members of own sex. How would you react? 2 there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all the 3surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to4 such abnormal conditions on their children – conditions which they themselves wouldn’t put up5 for one minute!Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. Stuff ing children’s heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among them. One of the chief6of educations is to equip future citizens 7 all they require to take their place in adult society. Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock.A co-educational school 8children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position 9 they can compare themselves with each other in 10 of academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical advantage it is ( to give just a small example ) to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense co-education makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girl or vice-versa. When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. Rivalry between the sexes is fostered. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its proper place.。

Unit1. The ability to predict what the writer is going/ about/ trying to say next is both an aid to understanding and a sign of it.A prediction begins from the moment you read the title and from expectations of what he book is likely to contain. Even if the expectations/predictions are contradicted, they are useful because they have started you thinking about the topic and made you actively involved.If you formulate your predictions as questions which you think the text may answer, you are preparing yourself to read for a purpose: to see which of your questions are in fact dealt with and what answers are offered. If your reading is more purposeful you are likely to understand better.Naturally your predictions/expectations will not always be correct. This does not matter at all as long as you recognize when they are wrong, and why. In fact mistaken predictions can tell you the source of misunderstanding and help you to avoid certain false assumptions.Prediction is possible at a number of levels. From the title of the book you can know/foretell the topic and the possibly something about the treatment. From the beginning of the sentences, you can often predict how the sentence will end. Between these extremes, you can predict what will happen next in a story, or how a writer will develop/present his argument, or what methods will be used to test a hypothesis.Because prediction ensures the reader’s active involvement, it is worth training.Unit2. Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children just/only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that, by free education for all, one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in some/many countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they think to be "low" work, and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to see/know/understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we die if we have no food.If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit ourselves for life, it means that we must be ready/willing/educated/taught to do whatever job suited to our brain and ability, and to realize that all jobs are necessary to society, that is very wrong/incorrect/erroneous to be ashamed of one's work or to scorn someone else’s. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.Unit3. Human beings learn to communicate with each other will nonlinguistic means as well as linguistic ways/means/ones. All of us are famil iar with the say it wasn’t what he said; it was the way that he said it when, by using/saying the word way we mean something about the particular vice quality that was in evidence., or the set of a shoulder, or the obvious tension of certain muscles. A message may even be sent by the accompanying tone and gestures, so that each of I’m ready, you are beautiful, and I don’t know where he is can mean the opposite of any such interpretation. Often we have/meet/encounter/experience difficulty in finding exactly what in the communication causes the change of meaning, and any statement we make leads to thesource of the gap between the literal meaning of the words and the total message that is likely to be expressed in impressionistic terms. It is likely to refer to some thing like a “glint” in a person’s eyes, or a “threatening” gesture, or “provocative” manner.Unit4. How do the birds find their way on their enormously long journeys? The young birds are not taught the road by their parents, because often the parents fly off first. We have no idea how the birds find their way, particularly as many of them fly at/by night, when landmarks could hardly be seen. And other birds migrate over the sea, where there are no landmarks at all. A certain kind of plover, for instance/example, nests in Canada. At the end of the summer these birds migrate from Canada to South America; they fly 2,500 miles, non-stop, over the ocean. Not only is this very long flight an extraordinary feat of endurance, but there are no landmarks on the ocean to guide/direct the birds.It has been suggested that birds can sense the magnetic lines of force stretching from the north to south magnetic pole of the earth, and so direct themselves. But all experiments hitherto made to see whether magnetism has any effect/influence whatsoever on animals have given negative results. Still, where there is such a biological mystery as migration, even improbable experiments are worth trying. It/this was being done in Poland, before the invasion of that country, on the possible influence of magnetism on path-finding. Magnets were attached to the birds’ heads to see if/whether their direction-sense was confused thereby. These unfinished experiments had, of course, to be stopped.Unit5. Man first existed on earth half a million years ago. Then he was little more than an animal; but early man had several big advantages over the animals. He had a large head/brain, he had an upright body, he had clever hands; he had in his brain special groups of nerve cells, not found in animals, that enabled him to invent a language and use it to communicate with his fellow men. The ability to speak was of very great use/value/significance/importance because it was allowed men to share ideas, and to plan together, so that tasks impossible for a single person could be successfully under-taken by intelligent team-work. Speech also enabled ideas to be passed on from generation to generation so that the stock of human knowledge slowly increased.It was these special advantages that put men far ahead of all other living creatures in the struggle for survival/existence. They can use their intelligence handing/overcoming their difficulties and master them.Unit6. Language varies according to sex and occupation. The language of man differs subtly from that of women. Men do not usually use expressions such as “its darling,” and women tend not to swear as extensively as men. Likewise, the language used in addressing men and women differs subtly: we can compliment a man on a new necktie with the compliment/words“what a pretty tie, that is!” but not with “how pretty you look today!” ---- an expression reserved for complimenting a woman. The occupation of a person causes his language to vary, particular in the use he makes of technical terms, that is, in the use he makes of the jargon of his vacation. Soldiers, dentist, hairdressers, mechanics, yachtsmen, and skiers all have their particular special languages. Sometimes the consequence is that such persons have difficulty in communicating with people outside the vacation on professional maters because the technical vocabulary is not understood by all. Although we can relate certain kinds of jargon to levels of occupation and professional training, we must also note that all occupations have some jargon, even these of the criminal underworld. There may well be a more highly developed use of jargon in occupations that require considerable education, in which words, and the concepts they use, aremanipulated rather than objects, for example in the legal and teaching circle/world/field and in the world of finance.Unit7.The space age began on October 4, 1957, when Sputnik I was launched. This first man-made satellite was followed by many others, some of which went around the sun. Now the conquest of the space between the planets, and between the earth and the sun, continues at a rapid rate.Each mew satellite and space probe gives scientists new information. As men explore outer space, some of the questions they have long asked/wondered about will be answered at last.The greatest question of all concerns life itself. Is there intelligent life out side the earth? Are there people, or creatures of some sort/kind living on Mars, Venus, or some other planet of the solar system? Are there planets orbiting/going/circling around stars other than our sun?The only kind of life we know about would have to be upon a planet. Only a planet would have the temperatures and gas that all living things seem to need. Until a short time ago, we thought there were only a few planets. Today, scientists believe that many stars have planets going around them.We know that there are nine planets in our own solar system-Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. If any other planets exist in our solar system, or anywhere else, our telescopes are not powerful enough to pick up their feeble reflected light. But astronomers guess that one star in a hundred has at least one planet where life could exist.We are quite sure that life could begin on a young planet. A new plant would be likely to contain great seas, together with heavy clouds of water vapor and other gases. Electric storms would be common. It is possible that simple living cells might from when electricity passed through the clouds. An experiment made in 1952 at the University of Chicago seems to prove this. By passing electricity through nonliving materials, scientist made cells like those of living creatures.Unit8. At the beginning of the nineteenth century the only acceptable roles for women were domestic there was virtually nothing for them to do except stay at home or hire out as maids, governesses, and, before long, teachers. Women were not allowed to own property-in most cases, not even the clothes they wore. A working wife was not allowed to keep her wages but was required to turn them over to her husband. In case of separation or divorce,a woman had no legal claims on her husband and was not allowed to keep the children. She had to legal status, which meant that she was not permitted to bring suit or to give testimony in courts. Often, she was not permitted to inherit property or to make a will. She was barred from public office and excluded form public life generally. For the most part, women lacked opportunities for education, vocational training, and professional employment. The national consensus was that women belong in the home, and determined efforts were made to see that they stayed there.Unit9. Sydney’s best feature is her harbor. Most Sydneysid ers can see at least a glimpse of blue sea from their windows. Nearly everyone lives within an hour from a beach. On weekends sails of all shapes, sizes and colors glide across the water. Watching the yacht races is a favorite Saturday activity.The harbor divides Sydney into north and south sections. The harbor bridge connects the two. It was built in 1932 and cost 20 million.Another Sydney symbol stands on the harbor shore. Sydney’s magnificent opera house celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Danish designer Jorn Utzon won an international contest with his design. The structure contains several auditoria and theaters. But not all concerts are held in the building. Sunday afternoon concertson the building’s outer walk attract many listeners.Sydney’s trendy suburb is Paddington. Houses are tightly packed together. Many were first built for Victorian artists. Now fashionable shops, restaurants, arts galleries and interesting people fill the area. The best time to visit is Saturday, when vend ors sell everything. So there is one of the world’s most attractive cities --- Sydney, Austrian.Unit 10 Architectural design influences how privacy is a chieved as well as how social contact is made in public places. The concept of privacy is not unique to a particular culture but what it means is culturally determined.People in the United States tend to achieve privacy by physically separating themselves from others. The expression “good fences make good neighbors” is a preference for privacy from n eighbors’ homes. If a family can afford it, each child has his or her own bedroom. When privacy is needed, family members may close their bedroom doors.In some cultures when individuals need privacy, it is acceptable for them simply to look into themselves. That is, they do not need to remove themselves physically from a group in order to achieve privacy.Young American children learn the rule “knock before you enter” which teaches them to respect others’ privacy. Parents, too, often follow this rule prior to entering their children’s rooms. When a bedroom door is closed it may be a(n) sign to others saying, “I need privacy,” “I’m angry,” or “Do not disturb. I’ busy.” For Americans, the physical division of space and the use of architectural features permit a sense of privacy.The way space is used to help the individual to achieve privacy, to build homes or to design cities if culturally influenced. Dr. Hall summarizes the relationship between individuals and their physical surroundings:Man and his extensions constitute one interrelated system. It is a mistake to act as though man was one thing and his house or his cities, or his language wee something else.Unit11. The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world. Its books, pamphlets, documents, manuscripts, official, papers, photographs, and prints amount to some 86 million items---a number that swells day by day----housed on 535 miles of shelves.Congress authorized a library in 1800, which amounted to three thousand books and a few maps when it was destroyed when the British burned the Capitol in 1814. to replace it, Thomas Jefferson sold the government his own library of almost 6500 volumes---the finest in the nation at the time. The collection, again housed in the Capitol, had grown to 55000 when a fire burned more than half of it. In 1866 a portion of the Smithsonian Institution’s library was added to the library of Congress, and in the same year the government entered an international program by which copies of U.S. documents were exchanged for those of other countries. The copyright law of 1870 ensured the library would always be up to date by requiring publishers to send two copies of each book published to the library in order to obtain copyright. By 1870 the collections had outgrown its Capitol quarters. A suggestion to raise the Capitol dome and fill it with bookshelves was rejected, and in 1873 Congress authorized a competition for the design of a library building. A variety of disputes delayed construction for more than a de cade, but the library’s Thomas Jefferson Building was finally opened in 1897.Unit12. As a nation, we starting to realize that we can’t solve the solid waste dilemma just by finding new places to put trash. Across the country, many individuals, communities and business have found creative ways to reduce and better manage theirtrash through a coordinated mix of practices that includes source reduction.Simply put source reduction is waste prevention. It includes many actions that reduce the disposal amount and harmfulness of waste created. Source reduction can conserve resources, reduce pollution, and help cut waste disposal and handing costs (it avoids the costs of recycling, landfilling, and combustion).Source reduction is a basic solution to too much garbage: less waste means less of a waste problem. Because source reduction actually prevents the increase of wastein the first place, it comes before other measures that deal with trash after itis already generated. After source reduction, recycling is the preferred waste management option because it reduces the amount of waste going to landfills and conserves resources.Unit13. The first step in helping the patient is to accept and acknowledge his illness. The cause of symptoms must be found, and measures to relieve them and to prevent recurrence must be taken. Thorough examinations are essential. Although the physician may suspect that the illness is due to emotional rather than physical cause, he must search carefully for any evidence of physical disease. It is not unknown for an illness considered psychosomatic to be later diagnosed as cancer or some other disease. The thorough search for physical causes of the symptoms helps to gain the patient’s confidence. He knows that his condition and symptoms are being taken seriously. If no organic basis for his complaints is found, he usually will find this news easier to accept when he knows he has had a thorough examination. Finding no physical cause for the disorder points the way to understanding the patient’s condition. What is the cause? Is it emotional stress? If so, what kind? What are the problems which are upsetting the patients?Unit14. The work of French scientist Jean Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) has contributed to the theory of evolution. Lamarck believed that the environment shaped the nature/trait/characteristic of plant and animal life. he believed that the bodies of plants and animals changed/had to fit their environment and a useful physical change would be passed on to the plant’s or animal’s offspring.For example, Lamarck thought that giraffes developed long necks because they had to stretch to get/eat the leaves of tall trees for food. Lamarck didn’t think that giraffes possessed/developed/had long necks all at once, however. He thought that the earliest group of giraffes stretched/lengthened their necks a small amount. Their offspring inherited this longer neck. The offspring then stretched their necksa little bit longer. They passed this even longer neck on to their own offspring. After many generations, giraffes developed the long necks that they have today.Not all of Lamarck’s theory is accepted today. Most scientists do not believe that the environment has a(n)effect/influence on the evolution of life forms. Nutt hey don’t agree with the notion/idea that a physical change in a plant’s or animal’s body is passed on to the offspring. Instead, they believe that a change must occur in the plant’s or animal’s cells before a change in offspring can take place.Unit15. In a very big city, in which millions of people live and work, fast, frequent means of transportation are of the greatest importance. In London, where most people live long distance/away from their work, all officers, factories and schools would have to choose if the buses, the trains and the Underground stopped work.Originally the London Underground had steam trains which were not very different from other English trains, except that they went along in big holes under the groundin order to keep away from the crowded city above their heads. Steam trains used coal, which filled the underground stations with terrible smoke. As a result, theold trains were taken away, and electric ones put in their place. Now the London Underground is very clean, and the electric trains make faster runs possible. At every Underground station/stop there are maps of all the Underground lines in London, so that it is easy to see how to get wherever one wants to go. Each station has its name written up clearly and in large letters several times, so that one can see when one comes to where one must get out. At some stations one can change to a different underground train, and in some places, such as Piccadilly, there are actually three lines crossing each other. The trains on the three lines are not on the same level, so that there should not be accidents. To change trains, one has to go up or down some stairs to a new level. It would be tiring to have to walk up these stairs/steps, so the stairs are made to move themselves, and all that the people/passengers have to do is to stand and be carried up or down to where they wish. In fact, everything is done to make the Underground fast and efficient. Unit16.Why “grandfather” clock? Well, these clocks were passed through the fam ily and so were always thought of as “grandfather’s clock.” But the first domestic timepieces were hung from a nail on the wall. Unfortunately dust got into the works and even worse children used to swing from the weights and the pendulum. So first the face and works and then the weights and the pendulum were protected by wooden cases. Before long the clock was nearly all case and was stood on the ground/floor and called, not surprisingly, a long-case clock. These “grandfather” clocks were very expensive, made as they were from fine wood, often beautifully carved or decorated with ivory. Famous makers of this period included Thomas Tompion, John Harrison and Edward East, but don’t get too excited if you find that the clock Grandma left you has one of these names on the back. Before you start jumping up and downing and shouting, “we’re rich, we’re rich,” remember that plenty of people before the 20th century had the idea of making cheap clocks/timepieces of famous original and “borrowing” the names of their betters. And don’t forget that the first chiming mechanism wasn’t invented/created/made until 1695, so a chiming clock, however charming it sounds, will date from the 18th century. A fake/false/imitated late 17th century grandfather clock made by East sold recently for just under 20000.Unit17.Suppose you send your child off to the movies for three hours next Sunday. And three hours on Monday and the same number of hours Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Thus is essentially what is happening to the average child in American today, except it is not the screen in the movie house down the street he sits in front of, it is instead the television set right in your own house. According to the Nielsen Index figures for TV viewing, it is dais that by the time a child graduates from high school he has had 11000 hours of schooling, as opposed to 15000 hours of viewing. I would like to repeat that. By the time the child is 18 years old, he has spent more hours in front of TV than he has in school. Over TV he will have witnessed by that time some 18000 murders and countless highly detailed cases of robbery, arson, bombing, shooting, beatings, forgery, smuggling, and torture---averaging approximately cone per minute in the standard television cartoon for children under the age of ten. In general, seventy-five percent of all network dramatic programs contain violence.Dr. Albert Bandura of Standford University reaches/draws two conclusions about violence on TV: (1) that it tends to reduce the child’s inhibi tions against acting in a violent, aggressive manner, and (2) that children will imitate what they see. Dr. Bandura points out that a child won’t necessarily run out and attack the first person he sees after watching violence on the screen, but that, if provoked later on, he may very well put what he has learned into practice.One of the lessons of television is that, violence works. If you have a problem with someone, the school of TV says to slap him in the face, stab him in the back. Because most of the program has shown how well violence has paid off, punishment at the end tends not to have much of an inhibitory effect.。

Jim Doherty may not be a born farmer, but he gets by (1) without too much trouble. Not that he has had it easy. That first hard winter he faced must have left him with the temptati on (2) to give up and go back to the city. But he managed to get through (3) it without losing heart. He's picked up a lot of skills since then and made some real improvements (4) to his fa rm, though without much laborsaving machinery, aside from (5) that old rotary cultivator. I suspect (6) he doesn't make all that much, though he does have his writing to supplement (7) what little profit (8) he makes from the farm. I guess he does it primarily for the quality of lif e. Certainly, they seem a happy family and you can often see them out working together, one day spraying apple trees, the next stacking(9) firewood.A homesteadeis a person who lives a self-reliant lifestyle with major emphasis on home production. While the Industrial Age is being replaced (1) by information and electronics, so me people try to seek an escape from the social, environmental, and economic madness of the modern age and begin to consider (2) returning to the country. As this lifestyle is so enjoyabl e, satisfying and rewarding, more and more people are prepared to quit (3) their job in the ci ty and start a new and more meaningful life on their various farms. For some it has become not only a way of life, but also a way of looking at the world (4).Of course, life in the country can be pretty tough (5). While it is an enjoyment to be so cl ose to Nature, you may have to reduce your dependence on fuels (6) by cutting back on your daily consumption. You may also have to cook your own meals every day and provide (7) you r own low-cost entertainment without the luxuries (8) that are common in cities. On balance (9), however, living in the country has long been a part of the American Dream. Generations of Americans have considered the country an ideal (10) setting in which to live and raise a fa mily.The Underground Railroad was forged (1) by the efforts of those who were prepared to fight against slavery and stand up (2) for the long-suffering Southern black Americans. Som e of those who helped to transport slaves to the north and freedom were former slaves thems elves. Others felt compelled (3) to take part because of their deeply held convictions (4). For many of those involved, liberating the slaves from those who exploited them became a missio n (5). While their eventual goal was to abolish (6) slavery completely, in the meantime they w ere intent on (7) helping to free as many slaves as possible, often at considerable risk (8). In t he eyes of (9) slave owners, they were dangerous enemies and frequently received death thre ats (10).Statistics (1) show that crime in rural (2) areas is now rising faster than in the cities. The era (3) when the countryside stood for (4) safety and security has long gone. No longer is i t safe anywhere to go out leaving the door on the latch (5). We all feel vulnerable (6) and s eek to strengthen the barriers (7) we use to hold criminals at bay. These can range from old f ashioned bolts and bars to the latest electronic (8) devices. A moment's reflection (9), howeve r, is enough to bring us face to face with the following puzzle: we may have locked the evils o ut, but in doing so we have locked ourselves in. This hardly seems a civilized (10) way of life.Despite the name, the Underground Railroad was not really a railroad, but was a netwo rk of people who assisted fugitive slaves. Many fugitives who escaped to the North and Cana da received assistance (1) along the way from individuals who were involved(2) in this netwo rk. By the early 19th century, the organization became so successful that it is estimated (3) th at between 1810 and 1850,100,000 slaves escaped from the South through the Underground Railroad.It was not a(n) coincidence (4) that it was called the Underground Railroad. Steam railr oads had just emerged (5) and the terms used to describe the people who helped and the fugi tives were related to the railroad line. Fugitive slaves were called "parcels" and "passengers ", the helpers were the "conductors", the people who provided their homes as refuge were ca lled "stationmasters," and the homes were referred (6) to as "depots" or "stations".The route used was an important part of a successful escape. There were numerous (7) s ecret routes that a conductor could use.The one used depended on where the search parties a nd slave catchers were stationed (8). Some trips required the use of many different routes. If it appeared that they might be in danger, a guide would change paths. Some guides and fugit ives even hid out in bushes and swamps for many days until it was safe to continue on. Quick ness was not the main concern (9), instead safety was most important and as a result they oft en zigzagged in order to avoid capture (10).Alex Haley was at sea (1) when he started thinking how best he could mark Thanksgivi ng. Turning over (2) the meaning of the holiday in his mind, he came to reverse (3) the order of the words and got to (4) thinking about giving thanks. How, he wondered, could he repay ( 5) those who had been so helpful to him in the past? It seemed to him that the best way he co uld express his gratitude (6) would be to write to them. For too long he had gone about witho ut troubling to tell them how much he appreciated all that they had done for him. Before lon g he had assembled (7) pen and paper and was immersed in (8) writing. Not long after the sh ip reached port, people started unloading (9) its cargo together with his letters. The replies w ere not swift (10) in arriving, but when they did, he found them deeply moving.Wake up each day and give gratitude for what you have. Instead (1) of giving any thoug ht at all to what you do not have in your life, just spend as much time as you possibly can eac h day giving thanks for all of the people, opportunities, material possessions (2), good health and any other things that you have in your life that make it so good. It is said that we take so much for granted that we sometimes forget to be thankful for the small things that make our lives so much richer (3). If you have ever been out of breath (4) or under water for too long, the next breaths you take are that much sweeter.Tell others how much you love and cherish (5) them every chance you get. You may neve r see someone again so you always want to leave them by telling them just how special (6) the y are to you. When you are telling them how much you care about them and how thankful yo u are for having them in your life, give them specific (7) examples of what you love about the m the most. Take the time to appreciate every little thing in your life. When the sun is shinin g (8), the grass is wet beneath your feet and your dog is barking, give thanks for these smallmiracles (9). Every moment we have is a gift (10). Use your time to show and tell others how important and special they are. Giving someone your time and kind words is the greatest gif t of all.Statistics show that at some point in your life, you will get robbed. Things get even wors e for apartment dwellers because so many people pass in and out of an apartment building, a nd it is much tougher (1) to keep non-residents out. So what to do? Don't panic. Yes, apartme nts are liable (2) to robbery, but there are options other than barricading yourself in your ap artment with a shotgun. We suggest that you use some common sense to shift (3) that target f rom your door. Then the burglar will rob the less guarded, not you.We know what you're thinking: "I'll never get robbed. Who'd want to steal a half can of Diet Coke and an electric (4) toothbrush?" If those really are the only things in your apartm ent, you have every reason not to worry. However, if you have something you'd like to keep — say, a TV, a stereo, a computer, a Picasso — it's wise to be cautious (5).Your goal is not to set up any sophisticated (6) security systems to hold thieves (7) at bay ; your goal is to keep criminals from even trying to break (8) into your apartment in the first place. If someone really wants to break in, chances (9) are that he/she is going to find a way by breaking a window or climbing up the fire escape. Therefore, you should remove all signs (10) that say, "Hey, look at me! Lots of goodies and no security! Come on in!" Lock the door when you leave. Don't leave the windows open all day long. Don't tape notes on the door dire cted to your mate reading "Gone all day! Left the door unlocked for you!" Just use your bra ins!。
