In my parents‟ words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appliances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better. (194 words)Unit 2Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are going to listen to is called Abraham, Martin & John, sung by Dion. Abraham, Martin & JohnDionHas anybody here,Seen my old friend Abraham,Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just loohed around,And he's gone,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend John,Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just loohed around,And he' s gone,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend Martin,Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just looked around,And he's gone,Didn't you love the things they stood for,Didn't they try to find some good for you and me,And we'll he free,Someday soon it's gonna be one day,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend Bothy,Can you tell me, where he's gone,I thought I saw him walhin' up over the hill, With Ahrah am, Martin and John.The unit we are going to study is all about civil-rights heroes. The song you have just heard is about four of them. Can you guess who they are? All are American. All are dead, all, as the song says, "gone". How about Abraham? Dion says he freed a lot of people. That's one clue. Another comes when she quotes the proverb: "the good die young." So it seems Abraham died young. My guess is Dion has in mind Abraham Lincoln, the American president who freed the slaves and was assassi¬nated. How about John, another leader who helped people to free themselves? He too died young. Can you guess who it might be? President John F. Kennedy seems most likely. He too supported civil rights. He too died young, assassinated like Lincoln.Now who could Martin be? Another civil-rights leader who died young, once again assassi¬nated. A great speaker comes to mind. Who do you think? Martin Luther King, surely. And finally, Bobby. Bobby who? Probably Dion is thinking of Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedy's brother, another supporter of civil rights. He was running for president when, like his brother before him, he too was gunned down.Part II Text AText Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-5 It is high time to honor the heroes who helped liberate slaves by forging the Underground Railroad in the early civil-rights struggles in America.Part Two Paras 6-23 By citing examples the author praises the exploits of civil-rights heroes who helped slaves travel the Un¬derground Railroad to freedom.2.

At huge risk, a group of volunteers from the Red Cross took on the mission to transport food, clothes and medicine to the most seriously hit areas.3) A rally was going to be held in honor of the 16th US President Abraham Lincoln who abolished slavery in 1863 and liberated the slaves in the South.

Shortly after he achieved freedom he became a member of an organization that assisted fugitive slaves. He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom. Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run. He disguised them and successfully avoided capture. In addition, later he built a small settlement in Dresden in Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school where they could learn useful ways of making a living. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, all the slaves would be liberated, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination no longer existed.Part III Text BComprehension Check1. a2. d3. c4. d5. b6. bTranslation(#J& Appendix III)Language Practice1. remarkable2. commitment3. flourish4. resulted from5. grave6.

In this contextPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperThe Civil-Rights Movement in the U.S.Black Africans were first brought as slaves to what was to become the United Statesin the seventeenth century. Slavery was strongest in the South, where large plantations grew cotton, tobacco, and other crops. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, a growing demand for cotton led to an increase in the demand for slaves in the region. Slavery was less profitable in the North, however, and much of the opposition to slavery came from the northern states. The tension between the North and the South over the issue of slavery led to the Civil War in 1861.With the victory of the North, slavery was abolished. Discrimination, however, did not end. Black Americans were treated as second class citizens, especially in the South. Dissatisfaction with unfair treatment eventually led to the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 1960s that brought about government action aimed at reducing discrimination.As a result, African Americans have come a long way in the last fifty years, but they still find themselves at a disadvantage in comparison with Americans of European descent. Only 17 per cent of the black population are able to finish higher education, in contrast to 28 per cent of whites. Incomes for the average white family were just over $44,000 in 1999. For an average black family, however, the figure was in the region of $25,000. Not one of the chief executive officers of the top 500 companies is black.Anyway, the civil-rights movement in the U.S. still has a long way to go.(254 words)Unit 3Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are about to hear is all about a "Saturday Night Special". Listen and see if you can guess what a Saturday Night Special is.Saturday Night SpecialLynyrd SkynyrdTwo feets1 they come a-creepin' 2 Like a black cat do. Ana two bodies are layin' naked, Creeper thinks lie's got nothin' to lose.So he creeps into the house, yean, And unlocks the door, And as a man's reachin' for his trousers Snoots him full or 38 holes.It's the Saturday Night Special, Got a barrel that's blue and cold. Ain't no good for nothing4 But put a man six feet in a hole.Big Jim's keen a-drinkin' whiskey, And playin' poker on a losin' night,1 Two feets: Normally we say two feet.2 a-creepin: in the state of creeping, "a-", here, is a prefix meaning "in the state or process of.3 38 refers to a 38 calibre (P S) handgun or pistol.4 Ain't no good for nothing: a non-standard way of saying "They are good for nothing"And pretty soon ol' Jim starts thinkin' Somebody's been cheatin' and lyin' .So big Jim commenced to fightin'1,I wouldn't tell you no lies.big Jim done pulled his pistol,Snot his friend right between the eyes.It's the Saturday Night Special, Got a barrel that's blue and cold. Ain't no good for nothin' But put a man six feet in a hole.On, that's a Saturday Night Special,For twenty dollars you can buy yourself one, too.Hand guns are made for till in , They ain't no good for nothin' else. And if you like to drink your whiskey You might even shoot yourself.So why don't we dump'em people To the bottom of the sea Before some ol' fool come around here, Wanna shoot either you or me.It's the Saturday night specialYou got a barrel that's blue and coldYou ain't good for nothin'But put a man six feet in a bole.It's the Saturday night specialAnd I'd like to tell you what you could do with itAnd that's the end of the song.The unit we are going to study, like the song you have just heard, is all about the threat of crime. It starts with a burglar creeping into a house at night. The couple in the house have gone to bed as the song says. Despite creeping the burglar must have awoken the man, for he is getting up, "reachin' for his trousers", when the burglar shoots him several times, "full of holes".1 So big Jim commenced to fightin': Normally we say "Big Jim commenced to fight or commenced fighting".Which brings us to the "Saturday Night Special", with its "barrel blue and cold", a handgun. Despite calling it by such a familiar name, it's clear the singer has no time for the handgun. He sings of it as being good for nothing but sending people to their grave, putting a man down "six feet in a hole".From the dangers of burglars with guns, the singer moves on to how dangerous guns can be when drinking leads to violence. We hear the story of Big Jim, the gambler. As he gets drunk, Big Jim starts to suspect he is losing at cards because others are cheating. He gets into an argument and reaches for his Saturday Night Special. He shoots his friend "right between the eyes".Pistols in America are cheap at just twenty dollars, but the singer warns against having one. Those foolish enough to do so are not only a danger to others, but also a danger to themselves, for, as he sings, "if you like to drink your whiskey, you may even shoot yourself."Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) Doors are not left unlocked either in cities or in rural areas.2) Dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires are widely in use.3) Suburban families have steel bars built in sliding glass doors.4) Small notices warning against burglary are commonly seen pasted on the windows of the most pleasant of homes.5) Access cards are required of those who work with medium to large-size companies.6) Airport security uses electronic X-ray equipment to guard against terrorism.7) Businessmen employ new machines linked up to their telephone to help determine whether the caller is telling lies or not.8) Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their key chains.2.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-3 In America, the era of leaving the front door on the latch has drawn to a close.Part Two Paras 4-15 A new atmosphere of fear and distrust has crept into every aspect of daily life. As a result, security devices, in varied forms, are put to use.Part Three Paras 16-19By locking our fears out, we become prisoners of our own making.V ocabularyI. 1.1) tranquil3) by a small margin5) rural7) era9) without so much as11) barricaded13) error15) Bathed in2. 1) bring about3) cut off5) wear (the other) down7) put up2) analyze4)civilize6)closed up8)paste10)sideways12)hook up to14)chart2) looked back on4) fit into6) lies in8) stand for3. 1) A certain gene which is likely to make people vulnerable to asthma has been found byresearchers at the Department of Clinical Medicine in Oxford.2) A wardrobe with mirrored doors had to be built in so as to make their small bedroom look larger.3) The NBC show's opening shots feature the space shuttle Challenger blowing up in January 1986—killing all seven crew.4) Colds can be held at bay by increasing your intake of fruit and vegetables which are both low in calories and rich in Vitamin C.5) Energy difficulties are a major barrier to the country's economic growth due to the fact that imported oil has absorbed 40% of its foreign exchange / because imported oil has absorbed 40% of its foreign exchange.4. 1) Jacob looked back on his summer holidays spent on the Big Island of Hawaii with its beautiful landscape and tranquil atmosphere as a rare escape from the madness of urban life.2) I was puzzled by the word "e-mail" when I came across it for the first time years ago. "What is an e-mail? What on earth does the letter 'e' here stand for?" I asked myself. Later, I got to know that e-mail is a system for communicating messages by electronic rather than physical means.3) Mr. Smith has, over the years, established his name as a successful used-car dealer in the minds of local people.

Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happen to be the last to come in, leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked, are vulnerable to break-ins. Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. Finally, a word of warning—when you travel, make sure that you have a trusted neighbor collect and keep all the deliveries of newspapers and mail until you return. This is because a collection of newspapers and mail on the front doorstep or in your mailbox is an advertisement that no one is home.Part III Text BComprehension Check1. b3. b 5. a2. b 4. d 6. dtranslation(#JE Appendix III)Language Practice1. impact3. draw the line at5. circumstance7. take the plunge9. aggressive11. advocated13. departed15. target17. head for19. on the line2. inflicted4. recommend6. break into8. conclude / have concluded 10. confirm12. insure14. in our favor16. count on18.

The gun is the great equalizer. It does not matter whether you are a big tough man or a small frail woman. With a gun in your hand you stand at the same height.What's more, it is the foundation of our nation. Without it there would be no Republic as it is, for we would never have been able to drive the Indians off the land without shooting so many of them down. Nor would the West have been won. Who would have dared venture into lands unprotected by the law if they had not been able to protect themselves with a gun? The spirit of our nation thrives on aggressive individuals who are ready to stand up for themselves and to fight for their rights. Look at our films. What do we enjoy watching? People shooting one another. True, children occasionally get hold of guns and slaughter their classmates. But if only their classmates had been properly armed, they could have fought back. It was gun control that left them defenseless.(184 words)Unit 4Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Every child likes listening to stories. Zoe, a girl with wings, is no exception. Listen carefully and see what story her father is going to tell her."Now, Zoe, stop fluttering around, and I will tell you a story.""A true story, papa?""It all happened exactly as I'm going to tell you. Two thousand and eleven years ago in 1985, a tribe of beings from the Dog Star invaded Earth. They were called An-vils." "And what did these beings look like, father?""Like humans in many, many respects. They each had two arms, two legs, and all the other organs that humans are endowed with. But they also had a pair of wings and long, purple tails.""How many of these beings were there?"。

Unit 1羞怯的痛苦对许多人来说，羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。

各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。

羞怯的人会焦虑不安，感到不自然；也就是说，他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。

脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法：我给人留下的是什么印象？他们喜欢我吗？我讲话是不是傻里傻气？我长得难看。

我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。

很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。

一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中，而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。

通常，人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。

例如，具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。

而由于自信，他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励，也能使自己感觉良好。

自信者热情、自发地投入生活。

他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。

有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害；他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。

相反，他们认为批评是-•种提醒他们改进的建议。

相比之下，羞怯的人自尊心较弱，往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。

他们（是否）在做“该做的事情"需要得到别人的肯定。

害羞的人对批评非常敏感；他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。

他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴，因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。

羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞: “你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。

我知道这不是真的。

”显然，尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质，过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。

能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢？幸运的是，人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。

由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的，因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。

例如，大多数人希望每门功课都得A。

如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难，就把自己列为差生，这不恰如其分。

人们对自己的期望必须现实。

老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无能，甚至产生嫉妒。

当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时我们正在自我否定。

Unit 1不丹1999才引进电视，是世界上最后一个开放电视与网络的国家，手机和互联网的普及率( penetra on )分别仅为30%和5%，几乎与现代化世界格格不入。

大多数人没有手机，也不上互联网，因此不太可能成为低头族( phubber )或者晚睡族(nightpersons)。

在别的国家拼命发展经济、不惜代价提升GDP 时，不丹追求的是国民幸福总值( Gross Na onal Happiness)。

他们乐于吸取现代技术的益处，但要按照自己的步伐，但要按照自己的步伐，根据自己的需要，根据自己的需要，根据自己的需要，在自已觉得合适的时机去进行。

他们同他们同样渴望经济繁荣，但不会以牺牲他们所珍视的传统和文化为代价。

样渴望经济繁荣，但不会以牺牲他们所珍视的传统和文化为代价。

Bhutan did not introduce TV until 1999, and is the last country that is open to TV and the Internet. Its mobile phone and Internet penetrations are as low as 30% and 5% respectively, almost out of tune with the modernized world. Now that the majority of its people have no mobile phones and no access to the Internet, they have little odds of being phubbers or night persons. While the other countries are striving desperately to develop economy and boost GDP at all costs, what Bhutan pursues is GNH (Gross National Happiness). They are willing to take advantage of modern technology, but would do it at their own pace, according to their own needs and at their own proper time. Although likewise thirsting for economic prosperity, Bhutan refuses to realize it at the price of their cherished tradition and culture.Unit 2中国的科举制度( the imperial examination system in China) 最早始于隋朝，历经1300多年。

新编大学英语3课后练习答案与课文翻译（一）Book 3课后练习参考答案：Unit 1III. Post-ReadingReading Comprehension1. Understanding the Organization of the Text1) Introduction: (Para.1)Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.2) Reasons why shyness can have a negative effect: (Para.2&3)People’s self-concept has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.People with high self-esteem usually act with confidence.People with low self-esteem are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others.3) Ways of overcoming shyness: (Para.4-15)i) Recognize your personal strengths and weaknesses.ii) Set reasonable goals.iii) Don’t waste time and energy on destructive feelings such as guilt and shame.iv) Don’t be afraid to speak up and give your point of view.v) Do not make negative comments about yourself.vi) Accept criticism thoughtfully.vii) Profit from failures and disappointments by viewing them as learning experiences.viii) Do not associate with people who make you feel inadequate.ix) Set aside time to relax, enjoy hobbies, and reevaluate yourgoals regularly.x) Practice being in social situations.4) Conclusion: (Para.16)The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential.2. Understanding Specific Information1) F 2) F 3) T 4) T 5) T 6) F 7) T 8) F 9) F 10) T3. Group Discussion1) I think the most effective ways of overcoming shyness are the first and seventh ways. Recognizing our personal strengths and weaknesses is useful because if we know ourselves better, we can feel more self-confident. We can be more objective, instead of being blind. The seventh way is to profit from failures and disappointments as learning experiences. If we allow ourselves to get discouraged and sad when we fail, then we will feel more unsure of ourselves. But if we think of a failure as a learning experience, we are adopting a positive attitude. By analyzing objectively why we failed and planning how to set about doing things differently we will be more likely to succeed next time.2) Modesty is used to describe a reserved appraisal of one’s merits, abilities or success, e.g. she is very modest about her accomplishments. Shyness is used to describe the uncomfortable feeling one has in the company of others. It often implies a lack of self-confidence and a timid, reserved manner. Modesty is a good personality trait while shyness in many cases is undesirable.3) Yes, it is appropriate and normal to be shy in some circumstances: in the presence of teachers, your boss, your parents’ friends or your prospective in-laws; when you aredating someone, especially the first time; when you are with strangers; when you are in a new environment; when you’re facing a large audience.Vocabulary1.

So he could enjoy all the food first.11) They were very angry.12) They took back the feathers they had lent him.13) He asked them to take a message to his wife.14) Parrot, because he wanted to take advantage of the chance to get revenge.15) He asked Parrot to tell his wife to bring out all the soft things in his house to cover the ground with them so that he would be able to land safely. But Parrot told his wife to bring outall the hard and sharp, not the soft, things instead.16) His shell was broken into hundreds of pieces.2. Ekwefi is telling a story about Tortoise. Long long ago, there was a famine, and the birds got an invitation from the sky to attend a feast there. Tortoise learned about it and with his sweet tongue he persuaded the birds to take him with them and so each bird lent him a feather. Tortoise cunningly thought of an idea that enabled him to have all the food by naming himself “All of you.” When they reached the sky, they received a warm welcome and soon the food was presented to them. Then he asked one of the people in the sky: “For whom have you prepared all this feast?” The man replied: “For all of you.” So he ate almost all the best food. The birds became very angry and took back their feathers before flying home. Without feathers, he had to jump onto the ground and his shell was broken into pieces.3. Acting out the StorySampleBird A: How exciting! All of us are invited to the feast in the sky.Bird B: I just can’t wait. What do you think I should wear?Tortoise: Hello. Good morning. What are you excited about?Bird A: Didn’t you know that we are going to the sky?Bird B: And we are going to have a big dinner. What fun!Tortoise: How nice it is. What lucky guys. May I go with you? I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun.Bird A: Yes, we’ll have great fun, but not you. We know you too well. You are full of cunning and you are ungrateful.Bird B: If we allow you to come with us, you will soon beginyour mischief.Bird A: We know you of old.Tortoise: You don’t know me now. I’m a changed man. I am not the mischievous man you once knew. In fact, I am thoughtful and well-meaning. I have learned that a man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself. Rest assured, I promise you I will not cause you any trouble.Bird A: (Talking to Bird B) Maybe he is a changed man now. Let’s talk to our bird friends and see if we will take him with us.(After a brief discussion with all the other birds)Bird B: Ok. Tortoise, now we all agreed to take you to the sky. Each of us will lend you a feather so that you can have two wings to fly.(During the flight to the party)Bird A: Tortoise is a great orator!Bird B: Let’s make him the spokesperson for the party.Tortoise: Did you know that we need a new name when we are invited to a great feast like this? It is an age-old custom and our hosts in the sky will expect us to honor it.Bird A: We haven’t heard of this be fore. But as you are such a learned man, if you say this, we will choose a new name for ourselves. I will call myself Good-Looking.Bird B: I am Smart-Ass.Tortoise: And my new name is All of You.(On their arrival at the sky)Sky people: Welcome to the sky, our dear bird friends. We are so pleased tosee you again. Please make yourselves at home.Tortoise: My dear respected friends, thank you so much for inviting us to the sky. Nothing can make us happier than this. Itis our greatest honor to be here and have a good time with you.Sky people: Thank you for your nice words. Now please help yourselves to the nuts.Bird A: Tortoise is really eloquent, isn’t he? I’m glad we decided to bring him with us.Bird B: Yes. And these are delicious nuts.Sky people: Now the dinner is ready. Please enjoy the soup, meat, fish and pounded yam. Here is palm wine, too.Tortoise: Just a moment. Let me ask you first. For whom have you prepared this feast?Sky people: For whom? Why? For all of you, of course.Tortoise (T o the birds): You remember that my name is All of You. The custom here is to serve the spokesman first and the others later. They will serve you when I finish.Sky people (To themselves): Looks like it is their custom to leave all the food to their king first.Tortoise: Mm. Yummy. Mm. I’m full now. You can start to eat.Bird A: We should never bring him here. I am too angry to eat. I’m going home.Bird B: Wait. I am leaving, too. Take the feather with us.Tortoise: What are you doing? Leave me the feather. Oh, how am I going home without a single feather? You can’t do this to me?Birds: Bye.Tortoise: Could someone take a message for my wife? Tell her to bring out everything soft and cover the ground. …4. Taking SidesSamples1) -- I don’t admire Tortoise’s cl everness. He was unwise to cheat all the birds. After his mischief, how could he have face to live together with them any longer? He would have no friends at all. He was clever, but at the same time he was also stupid. When all the birds became so angry, how could he have trusted Parrot? He should have jumped into the sea to avoid being hurt.-- I admire Tortoise’s cleverness. He was a guy who knew where to look for a nice dinner during a time of famine. He knew very well how to get trust from others. He was also quick-minded. His only mistake was that he should not be so greedy as not to leave any nice food for the birds.--I sympathize with the birds. They took Tortoise with them to the sky out of kindness, but after flying such a long distance, they had to fly back home on an empty stomach. They were formally invited, but the food was enjoyed by Tortoise, who hadn’t been formally invited. I think the birds were very unlucky.-- I think the birds are stupid. They knew very well that Tortoise couldn’t be tr usted as he was always mischievous. But they persuaded themselves that he was a changed man. At the party they should have let the sky people know Tortoise was not their king and they had the right to have some of the nice food, as they were the guests.2) I learned from the story that a) we should be honest, and shouldn’t cheat others. If we cheat others, we will be punished in the end; b) we shouldn’t be carried away by sweet words, like the birds; c) a leopard can’t change its spots, nor can Tortoise. He was cunning, he could never change his personality and behave himself.Vocabulary1. 1) A. invitation B. invited C. inviting2) A. prepare B. prepared C. preparation D. preparatory/preparation3) A. discoveries B. discoverers C. discovered4) A. approval B. approve C. approved D. approving E. disapprove5) A. eloquent B. eloquence C. eloquently6) A. faithful B. unfaithful/faithless C. faith D. faithfully7) A. occasional B. occasionally C. occasion8) A. delivery B. delivering C. delivered9) A. troublesome/trouble B. troubled C. troubled D. troubling10) A. assurance B. assured C. assure2. 1) ran/got into trouble 2) no trouble 3) asking for trouble4) have…trouble 5) trouble with 6) in serious/deep/big trouble7) get/getting…into trouble 8) to ok the trouble3.1) with a pattern of roses2) prepared a wonderful/good meal for us3) promised faithfully4) deliver this letter5) a selection of milk and plain chocolate6) keep out of mischief/behave themselves7) the sound of distant thunder8) received approval from the government9) in spite of the fact that he drank too much10) agree whether the drug is safe or notUnit 3IV.

Comparing ExperiencesSample 1In our group, two of us were latchkey children, two were taken care of by their grandparents, and one was taken care of by his mother because his mother did not work. The two who were once latchkey children had felt very much the same as the children mentioned in the passage. They felt lonely and watched TV a lot. But compared with the other students in our group, they are more independent. So in a way, it is good to leave children alone for some time every day.Sample 2In our group, only one person was once a latchkey child. Both her parents were working far away from home and she had to be on her own for most of the time on weekdays. The rest of us were taken care of either by our grandparents or by our parents. Every day when we came home after school, there was alwayssomebody there waiting for us and taking care of us. We could also go out and play with other children after we finished our homework. But sometimes we did wish we were alone so that we could spend the time as we wished.Vocabulary1. 1) c 2) h 3) g 4) a 5) e 6) k 7) i 8) d 9) l 10) b 11) j 12) f2. 1) constantly 2) impact 3) burden 4) Candidly 5) fulfillment 6) salaried 7) resentment 8) assistance9) perfect 10) suppress3. 1) successfully 2) resentment 3) security 4) necessity 5) advisable6) access/accessibility 7) athletic 8) maturity 9) emotional 10) effectively4. Sentence-Making GameSuggestions for teachers:Step 1: Write on the blackboard about 20 words or phrases that appear in the text. An even number is desirable since the students will be divided into 2 groups.A possible list:rise decade expense financial affect on the other hand priorityengage range forbid isolate stimulate express claim widespreadgiven work out take into consideration in case of secure arise cope with demand provideStep 2: Divide the students into two groups.Step 3: The students make sentences using the words on the blackboard. Each sentence can include more than one word and must be meaningful and grammatically correct. One point is awarded for each correctly used word. The teacher crosses out the word which has been correctly used. If the word is crossed out, it cannot be used again.Step 4: Students are encouraged to work quickly and raise their hands as soon as they come up with a sentence. The teacher works as a judge; the group that gets higher points wins.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the expressions in brackets.1) Because of an emergency, the doctor will not be available for several hours.2) How will taxes affect people with low incomes?3) My mother always told me that in the long run I would be glad I didn’t give up practicing the piano.4) The books range in price from $10 to $20.5) It seems to me that you don’t have much choice.6) Given their inexperience, they have done quite a good job.7) For such a big house the price is fairly cheap/low, but you’ve got to take into consideration the money you will spend on repairs.8) Can we begin by discussing questions/problems arising from the last meeting?Unit 4III.

Job Application and RecruitmentAn alternative activity for the teacher to organize for the class: The teacher may organize an interview in the following way:1) Choose an interview panel of three or four students. Choose three students for the panel to interview for the job of a store detective. Hold the interviews. When they are over, the panel should discuss the qualifications of the applicants and choose the one they think is best.2) Ask the class to talk about the interviews. Ask questions such as:A. Do you agree with the panel’s decision?B. How could the applicants have done better?C. Were the interviews fair?Sample answers-- I agree with the panel’s decision. First, the applicant is very confident in answering the questions and he knows what he is supposed to do. Second, he is quick-minded and very strong. Third, he is interested in the job and is ready to dedicate himself to the job. Finally, he has previous experience in working as a store detective.-- I don’t agree with the panel’s decision. I t hink the panel puts too much emphasis on the appearance of the applicants. I think Applicant B is much more suited for the job. He has a warmer personality. He can be a good store detective as well as a good staff member, because I don’t think the sole responsibility for a detective is to check on the shoppers. He should also help the customers when possible.-- Generally speaking, I think the panel has made a wise decision and chosen the right one for the job. Yet I think the applicant could have done better by not being so conceited and bragging about his own ability. After all, people cannot trust too much what a person says about himself without further investigation. What’s more, team spirit is very important. If he is not easy-going and feels too good about himself, it will be difficult for others to cooperate with him. Also I doubt whether he will be listening to the boss.Vocabulary1. 1) acceptable 2) efficiency 3) implications 4) instability 5) rationalize6) evaluation 7) foreseeable 8) invention 9) hastily 10) probability11) professional 12) challenging 13) defensive 14)personality2. 1) in case 2) Every so often 3) resort to 4) talk over 5) start over6)in reality 7) at stake 8) seized on 9) leading to 10) take stock of3. 1) programs 2) way 3) technical 4) both 5) provided 6) who7) such 8) needed 9) opportunities 10) when 11) to 12) Completion 13) holding 14) early 15) hire 16) promote 17) up 18) educatingTranslation1.

Understanding the Main Idea of the PassageA Comparison of Animal and Human AggressionAnimals Human beingsCauses of aggression 1) Abnormal conditions 8) Living conditions in crowded cities.Consequences 2) It will show abnormal aggressiveness. 9) People may behave aggressively toward each other.Examples 3) A tiger once came out of the jungle into a village and attacked a man.4) The caged lion often becomes more aggressive than it would be in the wild. 10) A once self-employed crafts-man and people who once worked in a small firm will express aggression through resentment and anger.11) A man may kill thousands of people by dropping a bomb from a plane.Behavior in desirable situations 5) The tiger would have stayed in the jungle and hunted for food in the customary way.6) The caged lion would be continually active, ranging over long distances, hunting in family groups. 12) People might have been no more aggressive than their fellow creatures.13) The man would hesitate to hit another person in front of his eyes.Possible solutions 7) The lion should be free to wander on the grassy plains of Africa. 14) Hostility and aggression should beexpressed in constructive activity and non-violent competition.2. Understanding Specific Information1) D 2) C 3) A 4) C 5) D 6) B3. Questions for Group Discussion1) –Yes. There were 2 world wars before, during which large numbers of people were killed and the great majority of them were innocent. Human beings or the whole world can be destroyed if nuclear or biological weapons should be used by violent insane people. We have never heard of anything like these in the animal world. Besides humans have killed large numbers of animals for food, clothes, medical research, pleasure, or for no reason at all. So I think humans are much more aggressive than animals.– No, animals are, in general, more aggressive than humans. Humans are good by nature, while animals have no power of reasoning. What’s more,animals have more physical force and other defenses such as claws and fangs. Without weapons, man is weaker and less aggressive than animals.2) – Yes, sports are generally a good way to channel energy and aggression, especially boxing, wrestling, ball games, etc. International sports enable athletes from many countries to meet and to compete for medals. T o prepare for international sports competitions, they have to improve their skills, strengthen their muscles, develop effective strategies, etc. Others, non-athletes, will feel concerned with them, excited with them, and proud of them, and cheer for them.– No, the Olympic Games are just sports competitions. Theywon’t change the political ideas of nations. We have never heard of any sports games that have stopped disputes, conflicts, wars, etc., but on the other hand there were athletes who were prevented from participating in the Games because of international conflicts. And there have been acts of terrorism, and examples of unfair judgments and aggressive behavior at the Olympic Games.Vocabulary1.Verb Noun Adjective Adverbaggress aggression aggressive aggressively/ violence violent violentlybehave behavior / // territory territorial // hostility hostile /disable disability disabled /compare comparison comparative/comparable comparatively/comparablelydestroy destruction destructive destructivelyresent resentment resentful resentfullyconstruct construction constructive constructivelycompete competition competitive competitively/ evidence evident evidently2. violent —non-violent doubtfully — undoubtedlysatisfied — dissatisfied normal — abnormalconstructive — destructive personal — impersonaldiminish — increase encourage — discourage3.1) survive 2) conflicts 3) available 4) likely5) injuring 6) absorbed 7) competition 8) instinct9) hesitated 10) similar4.Aggression is the fighting instinct in beast and man, which is directed against members of the same species. It is theorized that in natural conditions aggression helps to ensure survival of individuals (and thus the species), by preventing too dense a population from developing and exhausting all of its food sources. Fighting is generally considered to be a trait characteristic of males and uncharacteristic of females. However, many but not all female mammals exhibit aggression during the postpartum (产后的) period in defense of their young.The great animal behaviorist Konrad Lorenz observed that in every individual the readiness to fight is greatest in the most familiar place: in the middle of its territory. As the distance from territory increases, readiness to fight decreases proportionately. This was not the case with my pet rat; he was ready and willing to beat up his neighbors the minute he stepped through their door. What causes some rats to be more aggressive than other s?

First, he made a point of getting away* from familiar situations and people that he wanted to impress. Next, he organized his days so that he could do activities that helped him change and develop. After that, he made an effort to try new ways of doing things. Then, he announced publicly what he planned to do so that it would be difficult for him to break his promises.
