Unit 1移民的挑战人们远离家乡侨居国外的原因很多。

对有些人来说，是出于经济上的考虑。

他们觉得在别的地方会有更多赚钱机会。

对另一些人来说，是出于冒险，想尝试别样的生活。

还有一些人移居国外是因为他们认为那儿的价值观与他们的理想比较吻合。

那些出于经济原因移民的人常被误导。

他们可能听说过无数发财致富的故事，但事实绝非如此简单。

要果真如此，他们要去的那个国家的人早就赚了上百万了。

移民到国外的人通常要辛苦工作，可能要比在本国辛苦得多。

有时候，人们对该不该移民基本没有多少主动权。

例如在爱尔兰饥荒期间，数百万的爱尔兰人把移民看成是去国外（生存）还是在家里等死的选择。

大部分人一路艰辛，冒着危险来到美国，干着最脏的活，拿着比其他美国人低得多的工资。

移民遭受的此类歧视和亏待在历史上早已司空见惯了。

而且，许多移民发现他们手艺不被认可。

许多越南或巴基斯坦的医生、律师、工程师发现一旦离开祖国，他们的资历就一钱不值。

他们达不到移民国家设定的标准。

结果，他们就干起了打扫办公室地板、晚上守夜值班的活。

而他们在移民前有可能就是在这样的办公室工作。

这种二等公民的感觉既屈辱又让人压抑。

还有一些人可能发现他们的语言能力使得他们既不好找工作又不被社会认可。

那些出于冒险而移居国外的人不在乎这一点，但学一门新的语言要占用他们为过上好生活而挣钱的时间。

我们常常见到，移居到多元文化国家里的移民们找不到自己的位置，而最终总是在自己老乡圈里活动，并为充分抓住新的机会。

人们可能因为不喜欢自己国家的条件而决定离开。

在美国对越作战期间，数以万计的美国年轻人离开美国去加拿大，以逃避去为一场毫无意义的战争当炮灰。

这些人与他们的朋友、家人切断联系，不能回归祖国。

人们移民总是期望为孩子们营造更好的将来，过上更好的生活。

但情形往往是父母做出的牺牲并没有得到子女的回报，因为他们在父母的娇宠中长大成人，不懂得惜哺双亲。

但是，人们仍然克服重重困难移民，尤其是去那些经济增长快的国家，如澳大利亚、加拿大和美国。

新世界交互英语读写译4第二版3单元作文The world we live in today is a complex and ever-evolving landscape filled with both challenges and opportunities. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, it is essential that we approach the future with a sense of purpose, resilience, and a willingness to adapt to the changing tides. Whether we are tackling global issues such as climate change, poverty, or social inequality, or focusing on more personal goals and aspirations, the ability to think critically, problem-solve, and continuously learn and grow is paramount.One of the most pressing challenges facing our world today is the ongoing threat of climate change. The scientific evidence is clear: the Earth's climate is changing at an unprecedented rate, driven largely by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and the release of greenhouse gases. The consequences of these changes are already being felt in the form of rising sea levels, more frequent and intense natural disasters, and the disruption of ecosystems and food production. As individuals and as a global community, we must take decisive action to mitigate the impact of climate change and work towards a more sustainable future.This will require a multifaceted approach that encompasseseverything from renewable energy development and sustainable agriculture to the protection of natural habitats and the promotion of more environmentally-conscious consumer behaviors. It will also require a fundamental shift in the way we think about our relationship with the natural world, moving away from a mindset of exploitation and toward one of stewardship and preservation.Another key challenge facing our world is the persistent problem of poverty and inequality. Despite the tremendous economic progress made in recent decades, millions of people around the globe continue to live in abject poverty, lacking access to basic necessities such as food, clean water, healthcare, and education. This not only represents a profound moral failing but also a significant obstacle to global stability and prosperity.Addressing this challenge will require a concerted effort on the part of governments, international organizations, and civil society to develop and implement effective poverty alleviation strategies. This may include investments in sustainable development, the expansion of social safety nets, and the promotion of inclusive economic growth that creates opportunities for all. It will also require a deeper understanding of the complex and interrelated factors that contribute to poverty, such as systemic discrimination, lack of access to resources, and the impact of conflict and natural disasters.In addition to these global challenges, individuals and communities around the world also face a range of more personal challenges and aspirations. Whether it is pursuing a fulfilling career, starting a family, or realizing a long-held dream, the ability to set clear goals, develop a plan of action, and persist in the face of adversity is essential.This process of personal growth and self-actualization is not always easy, and it often requires us to confront our fears, challenge our assumptions, and step outside of our comfort zones. It may involve developing new skills, taking on new responsibilities, or navigating complex interpersonal relationships. However, the rewards of this journey can be immense as we discover new facets of ourselves, deepen our understanding of the world around us, and ultimately make a positive impact on the lives of those around us.Underlying all of these challenges and aspirations is the fundamental human need for connection, meaning, and purpose. As social beings, we crave a sense of belonging and the opportunity to contribute to something greater than ourselves. Whether it is through our work, our relationships, or our involvement in our communities, the ability to find purpose and meaning in our lives is essential to our overall well-being and happiness.This pursuit of meaning and purpose is not always straightforward, and it may require us to confront our own biases, assumptions, andpreconceptions. It may also involve grappling with complex philosophical and existential questions about the nature of reality, the meaning of life, and our place in the grand scheme of things.However, by engaging in this process of self-reflection and inquiry, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. We can develop a greater sense of empathy and compassion, and find ways to contribute to the greater good in ways that are meaningful and fulfilling to us.Ultimately, the challenges and aspirations that we face as individuals and as a global community are multifaceted and complex. They require us to think critically, problem-solve, and continuously learn and grow. But by approaching these challenges with a sense of purpose, resilience, and a willingness to adapt, we can not only overcome the obstacles that stand in our way, but also unlock new possibilities and opportunities for ourselves and for the world around us.。

And the company will use my name in the ads.Talia：OK. Can you think of anything else?Nick：Well, we did talk about an idea for a Kicks commercial．Talia：A commercial? What commercial?Nick：I told you about that, didn’t l? They wanted me to be in a commercial．Script 2Talia：Hang on a second. You never said anything about a commercial. I wanna hear more about this. Don’t leave out any details. This could be important．Nick：OK. So, over lunch she describes the deal…Jackie：So，you’ll wear our shoes when you play. And we’ll use your name in ads. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.Nick：Sounds good. And this will be sometime next year?Jackie：Uh, yeah, that’s right. We can work out the details later for this, but we’ll probably want you to appear in a commercial.Nick：Cool!Jackie：In fact. I'm working on an idea for a commercial right now. Do you wanna hear about it?Nick：Sure.Jackie：OK. Picture this. You’re sitting in a park. On a bench. It’s a beautiful spring day. Nick：So far, So good.Jackie：OK. A young kid comes up to you and says, ―Hey! Aren’t you Nick Crawford, the soccer star?‖Nick：Uh—huh.Jackie：And you say, ―That’s me. ‖Or something like that．Nick：Right．Jackie：And then the kid says, ―Wow! Cool shoes! What are they?‖ And you say, ―Kicks.What else?‖Nick：That’s it?Jackie：That’s it.Nick：So, all I have to do is sit on the bench…and talk to a kid?Jackie：That’s all you have to do.Talia：That’s what I thought! This Jackie person recorded your conversation over lunch.Then she edited the tape. So it sounds like you’re accepting a bribe.Nick：Oh. wow!Unit 2Script 1Talia: Tony, I need to see you. I have to bring you up to date on the Nick Crawford story. Tony: Come in. What's going on?Talia: I just spoke to Nick. He was tricked. The tape was edited. He didn't take a bribe. It just sounds that way.Tony: Well, what does your audio expert say?Talia: I forgot to tell you. It's definitely Nick's voice. And he said the tape was definitely edited.Tony: But I don't get it. Who's behind this?Talia: One of Nick's teammates, Dean Bishop. He resents being in Nick's shadow. He wants to be the only star on the team.Tony: Of course! The bottom line is ... being the star is worth a lot of money in endorsements.Talia: Still. I can't imagine...Tony: OK. So, now, what's your plan?Talia: I have an idea. I need some help from Amy.Tony: Fine. You can have another day on this and we won't run the story yet. But one more thing, Talia, I hope you're not emotionally involved in this story.Talia: Me? Emotionally involved?Tony: I know you want to clear Nick's name. But if you want to have a career in journalism, you have to remember to stay objective.Script 2Patty: Hi there. What can I get for you?Amy: How about a large iced tea?Patty: Coming right up.Amy: ... and a little information.Patty: What kind of information?Amy: I'm trying to get hold of someone named Jackie Bishop.

Too bad.Patty: Her brother Dean, the soccer player, works out here, though. I remember seeing him yesterday, around lunchtime. Maybe you could speak to him.Amy: Actually, I'd rather avoid seeing him. It's a little complicated between him and me, ifyou know what I mean.Patty: Oh, I see. Well, here's an idea. I think Jackie's taking acting classes over at the university. Maybe you could catch up with her there.Amy: She's taking acting classes at the university?Patty: Mmm-hmm.Amy: Ah.... Yes, .... That's a great idea. Thanks for the tip.Patty : Oh, likewise!

I can do a little acting myself, if that’s what you mean.Talia: So go act like a drama student, and go and talk to her. I’ll be right there.Amy: Excuse me. You’re in the drama program, right?Jackie: Yes! Oh, hi!Amy: Do you know if Professor Roberts is teaching this semester?Jackie: Yes, he is. He’s fabulous I’m in his improvisation class.

I'm taking acting classes, like Amy.Talia: Oh, well. I'll probably think of it later.Jackie: Speaking of classes, I'd better run. I don't want to be late for Professor Roberts. Talia: Hold it. I think I remember where I've seen you.Jackie: Really?Talia: Yes. The Gower Building.Script 2Talia : Don't you work for a shoe company?

I helped you get Nick suspended! Dean: Yeah. Yeah. You're a great actress. I know.Jackie: Speaking of which, when are you going to introduce me to Byron Walters?

They admitted everything.Talia: And we got it all on tape.Nick: How did you know they were going to talk about me?Talia: I saw Jack’s face when I mentioned Kicks shoes.

And the most terrible part of all of this is that I let you down.Nick: Have I ever told you about my grandmother?Talia: No, I don’t think so.Nick: Well, my grandmother is a very wise woman. She always told me to tell the truth. She always said the truth would win out.Unit 10Script 1Talia: So, what are you going to do now?Nick: I don’t know. Until you told me about the tape, I was expecting to rejoin the team tomorrow.Talia: I have an idea. How about this? What if I call your coach?

I'm sorry, your word wouldn't be enoughTalia: Who is that?Jackie: Surprise!Talia: You?Jackie: I got your phone number from your friend, Amy.

She is now going to tell us how she and her brother schemed to frame Nick Crawford, the soccer star. Jackie?Jackie: You have to understand. Dean and I had been planning this for a long time. I posedas the VP of marketing from this phony shoe company...Talia: Kicks.Jackie: Right. Kicks Shoes. Cute name, don't you think? Anyway, I knew Nick usually went to the juice bar at the health club, and I met him there.Talia: And then?Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsementTalia: And did he?Jackie: Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Cower Building lobby and took him to lunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took overfrom there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe. Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now?Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him.Well, I just found out that Dean had been lying the whole time.Talia: I see.Jackie: Unbelievable! My own brother had been using me. If I had known, I would never have gone along with him. I should have known better. I should never have trustedhim.Unit 11Script 1Nick: Dean! And Coach! You’re just the two people I wanted to see.Dean: Nick! Sorry, man, tough break.

I’ve got something I want to show you both.Jackie: My brother heard that Nick had gotten rid of his agent. So I went and offered fifty thousand dollars to endorse a pair of shoes. I was very convincing, if I must say somyself. Anyway, Nick agreed and I got it all on tape. Of course, The tape had tobe edited to make it sound like Nick was accepting a bribe, but Dean took care ofthat.Dean: That lying…Nick: Dean, I’d keep quiet if I were you. Jackie gave us hard evidence. It turns out my conversation with her was not the only one she recorded.Dean: This is crazy!Coach: I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry You had to go through all of this.Nick: Thanks, Coach.Coach: Well, I think this is all over now. We’ll be starting practice in an hour –you’ll be there, right?Nick: Oh, sure!

And they’ve worked out OK for you, too, right?

I’m listening.Nick: I know I haven’t been in touch, but it’s only because I didn’t want to get in the way. I know how important your career is to you.Talia: What are you talking about, Nick?Nick: What I’m trying to say is, I want to spend more time with you. I don’t want you to move.Talia: Good. Because this is where I’m moving.Nick: Huh?Talia: THIS, this is my new office. I turned Newsbeat down. Tony said he’d match their offer.Nick: So in other words...
