Unit 9Active Reading (1)你适合做这个工作吗？过去，大学生活很轻松。

那将是你一生中最美好的三年，你知道这一点。

你是这样消磨时光的：在咖啡馆和酒吧里与新结交的朋友聊到深夜，在壁球场和板球场上尽情地挥舞球拍，或是作为大学戏剧社的大腕在舞台上昂首阔步。

不管你有什么爱好，大学生活都能为你创造条件。

而且，别忘了，你的学习还总能跟得上，能完成指定的阅读，并在最后一分钟匆忙草就那一周的文章。

你唯一没有时间考虑的是过完这激动人心的三年后要做什么。

不过这个问题并不需要考虑，因为无论选择什么职业，都有一大堆公司排着队来聘用你。

那是过去英国大学生校园生活的情形，现在情况已经改变了。

最近一项对英国各大跨国公司的研究表明，即使拥有一个优良的学位，大学生再也不可能一毕业就得到最好的工作了。

今天的大学数量比30年前翻了一番，40%的年轻人接受高等教育。

由于并不缺少大学毕业生，拥有一个优良的学位对找工作就变得尤其重要了。

竞争很激烈，结果是如今的大学生花了比任何时候都要多的时间来复习功课，为那些可怕的期末考试做准备，做报酬低的兼职以偿还债务。

然而，这恰恰是问题之所在。

英国二百多家公司的经理认为，学生花在学习或挣钱维持生计上的时间太多了。

他们本应该去参加各种俱乐部，学习一些基本的技能，如团队合作和现场演示。

这些经理还说，他们宁可让职位空缺，也不愿意聘请那些缺乏必要技能，无法在国际市场上占领商机的毕业生。

该怎么做才能解决这个问题呢？经理们相信，解决的办法就是在学位课程里增加社交能力的训练。

有的大学已经开始这样做了，例如南安普敦大学历史系学生必须做一个为期十二周、六人一组协同工作的项目——通常与当地的生活有关。

项目内容包括：做一次演示、写一篇集体论文、做一项公众服务——可以是给中、小学生讲课，或做一期有关中、小学教学的广播节目。

毫无疑问，这种合作学习法能帮助许多学生培养有助于改善就业前景的个人技能。

公司在面试应聘者时使用的最有名的人格测试之一是“迈尔斯—布里格斯性格分类法”（简称MBTI），这种分类法把外向/内向性格两分法置于它所分析的人格特征列表之首。

Unit 9 What Is HappinessKey to the ExercisesText comprehensionI.AII.1. T;2. F;3. F;4. T;5. F.III.1. He means that one is given the right to pursue happiness, but does not know what it is.2. Because he believes that commercial advertising not only fails to satisfy our desires, but more importantly it creates them, and it creates them faster than any man's budget can satisfy them. Such insatiability makes people unhappy.3. Because he thinks that the products and pursuits advertised on the front pages of women's magazines are dreamlike and can't be fulfilled.4. He set two extremes according to Thoreau, the low level and the high level. The former refers to possession for its own sake or in competition with the rest of the neighborhood, while the latter refers to active discipline of heightening one's perception of what is enduring in nature. To find balance is to save time and effort on the low levels and spend on the high.5. The inherent right is not happiness itself, but lies in the pursuit of happiness, in the pursuit of what is life-engaging and life-revealing, i.e. in the idea of becoming.IV.1. Jonathan Swift seemed to share this view when he criticized this idea of happiness as the state of being completely controlled by deception …2. The active exercise or training to improve one's understanding of what is of lasting value would have been Thoreau's idea of the high levels, i.e. spiritual happiness.Structural analysis of the textPart 1 (Para. 1, 2): The author points out that when we are not sure what happiness is, we tend to be misled by the idea that we can buy our way to it.Part 2 (Para. 3, 4, 5, 6): The author offers a number of examples to show how this misconception of happiness gives rise to the “happiness-market”in a highly commercialized society (the United States).Part 3 (Para. 7, 8, 9): The author suggests striking a balance between what Thoreau called the low levels and the high levels.Part 4 (Para. 10): The author gives his understanding of happiness, in the light of theFounding Fathers' belief that it is “in the idea of becoming”.VocabularyI. Phrase1. un-American: not typical of the attitudes, ways of life, etc., that are approved of or considered normal in the US2. commercialism: the activities or attitudes of people who think that making a profit ismoreimportant than anything else; emphasis on the maximizing of profit 商业主义3. for that matter: it is also true that …(The phrase “for that matter”is used to emphasize that sth., though mentioned second, is also true, important, or relevant as what has been mentioned earlier.) 就此而论，在这方面, 同样4. face: aspect 方面5. in nature: essentially 事实上，本质上II.1. perpetual;2. functions;3. inherent;4. cited;5. approaching;6. flawless;7. vaguely;8. disciplining.III.

Part II: Banked ClozeQuestions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.When I was in college, I was a reporter for the school newspaper. My very first article was about a student protest on campus. The students, mostly freshman and sophomores gathered outside the chemistry building. They were calling for the resignation of Professor Keyes, who they claimed was a particularly repressive teacher. He ran his classroom like a dictator and didn't grade fairly.The students were mostly peaceful and they spent all day chanting "Down with Keyes! Down with Keyes!" However, they did have a minor clash with other students who tried to defend Professor Keyes. Nobody was hurt, but it was obvious that both sides were very passionate about their beliefs.You could say that my college had a very liberal environment. Students were encouraged to think for themselves, assert their rights, and fight for what they believed in. This wasn't the only protest during my college years, either. You certainly couldn't criticize the students for being apathetic; they were always outspoken and involved!Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.One of the most famous student protests to ever occur in the United States took place between May 1 and May 4, 1970 at a college campus in the Midwestern state of Ohio. The reason this particular protest is still remembered and famous is because of the unfortunate result of the demonstrations.On April 30, 1970, US President Richard Nixon announced an escalation of the war in Vietnam with a military invasion of Cambodia, which neighbors Vietnam. At that time, the war wasextremely unpopular with the public and many people were frustrated and angered by this new development—especially students. Many people had been encouraged by Nixon's promise two years earlier to end the war, but, in 1970, there was still no end in sight.On May 1, students at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio protested against the American invasion of Cambodia and were calling for an end to the war. The campus protest was peaceful, but emotions grew throughout the day, and riots soon erupted in the town's streets that night. In response, the governor sent National Guard troops to the Kent State University campus to stop the riots and protests.Small protests continued over the next two days, and then, on the morning of May 4, approximately 2,000 students gathered in the center of campus to protest both the war and the presence of soldiers at their school. The soldiers ordered the students to disperse and return to their dorms. When they refused, the soldiers began firing tear gas into the crowd.During the morning, the situation escalated, along with tensions, emotions, and anger. Shortly after noon, the National Guard soldiers opened fire on the students. The cause of this action remains unclear to this day. However, at the end of the day, four students were killed and nine others were wounded. Some of those students were not even involved in the protest. They were just walking by or watching the protest from a distance.41. What were the students at Kent State University protesting?A. The American invasion of Vietnam.B. The American invasion of Cambodia.C. The election of President Richard Nixon.D. The election of the Ohio governor.42. National Guard troops were sent to the Kent State campus because _______.A.

If you testify in court, you need to tell nothing but the truth or you could go to jail.Part II: Banked ClozeQuestions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.Last summer, Derek completed a research project for his psychology thesis. He was studying child behaviour and wanted to trace bad behavior back to its source. Derek took children of different ages and put them in a(n) mostly empty room; there were only a few toys and a small couch to lie down on.He then presented them with different stimuli that they might encounter during the day. For example, he would play music at a loud or soft volume; adjust the lighting to be very bright or very dim; or fill the room with different smells, both good and bad. He had a(n) repertoire of several hundred distinct stimuli.It was interesting to watch the children's behaviour unfold in response to the changing environment. Nearly all children eventually displayed some form of naughty behaviour, but some of them created a serious disturbance in the room and had to be removed.The reactions were all fascinating, and Derek recorded everything that happened. He is now trying to comprehend the meaning of these results and the implications for child behaviour. Hopefully, his work will help clarify and identify potential sources of misbehaviour. Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Until very recently, most people assumed that the ability to feel and exhibit emotions was limited to human beings. It was generally assumed that animals could simply not feel emotions such as happiness, sadness, jealousy, anger, or grief. It wasn't that the intensity of these emotions was more limited than in humans; the general consensus was that such emotions were literally absent in all other animals.However, such thinking has recently been called into question as more and more researchers areuncovering evidence that suggests animals do indeed feel emotions. In some cases, these emotions are very obvious! Dog owners have known this for a long time. If a dog does something bad and is reprimanded by its owner, it will often hang its head low and exhibit "puppy-dog eyes." The dog knows it has been naughty and this is, in effect, its exhibition of sadness and sorrow.Another relatively clear example of animals' emotional behaviour is when they show aggression. In some cases, it doesn't take very much for animals to become irritated and angry. Dogs, wolves, lions, tigers, birds—nearly every animal has been observed in an agitated state and acting out against the cause of its frustration. In fact, animal researchers have even witnessed animals in the wild waging war and exacting revenge.Biologists have reported on countless other examples of animals' emotional behaviour. For example, some animals grieve over deceased family members, some dream and have nightmares, some display pride in the work demanded of them, some exhibit friendship and cooperation, and many show love. Examples of compassion and self-indulged enjoyment are also not uncommon. Based on the biological and scientific evidence, it seems beyond doubt that animals are capable of feeling and showing a wide range of emotions. Human do not have a monopoly on such feelings, and it's time for more people to understand that we're all part of one big emotional family.41. According to the article, which of the following was a general assumption made throughout much of history?A. People feel a wide range of emotions.B. Animals feel a wide range of emotions.C. People feel a limited range of emotions.D. Animals are incapable of feeling emotions.42. This style of writing would best be described as _______.A. expositoryB. argumentativeC. narrativeD. descriptive43. Which of the following would make the best title for this article?A. The Limited Emotional Lives of AnimalsB. A Monopoly on Emotional BehaviorC. Emotions are UniversalD. Animals are People Too44. What is meant by "puppy-dog eyes" (Para 2)?A. Eyes that are full of emotion.B. Eyes that show no emotion.C. Eyes that belong to a puppy.D. Eyes that look like a puppy's.45. Which of the following does the author NOT present in order to support the topic?A. Popular opinion.B. Personal opinion.C. Scientific evidence.D.

On only the second day, my wallet was stolen. It was a very scary time, and I was obviously frustrated and angered. At first, I was angry I had lost the cash in my wallet. Then, I realized that the thief now had my credit cards and ID card! With only a little practice, he or she could easily forge my signature and make hundreds of unauthorized purchases.I immediately called the credit card companies to cancel my cards. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. How could someone commit such fraud? The undoubted deceitfulness in stealing other people's wallets really made me wonder how someone could be completely without ethical standards or morals.Thankfully, I still had traveler's checks —which are widely accepted in Spain —at my hotel. However, I was no longer in a good mindset to enjoy my vacation. In my opinion, the authorities must attack this problem globally; it's not enough to just focus on pickpockets or identify theft that happens locally. With the Internet, there's no such thing as "local" anymore.Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Many people often wonder about the terms "blue-collar crime" and "white-collar crime". What's the difference? Is one worse than the other? Are they committed by different kinds of people? What does crime have to do with the color of your shirt?First, it is helpful to understand that blue-collar workers are those people employed in jobs that require manual labor, and white-collar workers perform non-manual labor in an office setting. The terms can be dated back to the 19th century, when industrial workers and manual laborers were required to wear clothing suitable to the difficult work — which was typically a blue work shirt or blue coveralls. In contrast, professional workers in offices generally wore white dress shirts.Today, the primary distinctions between white-collar and blue-collar crime are the social class towhich the suspect belongs and the type of crime committed. Blue-collar crimes are committed by individuals from lower social classes (ie, less privileged backgrounds with fewer professional and societal opportunities), and white-collar crimes, conversely, are committed by individuals from higher, more affluent social classes.The exact nature of the crime is also a defining factor of blue-collar versus white-collar crime. Blue-collar crimes tend to be relatively obvious (eg, vandalism, robbery, and shoplifting) or violent (eg, assault, arson, and murder) crimes that are committed out of desperation. White-collar crimes, however, are "quieter" crimes (eg, bribery, embezzlement, and computer crime) committed by people who have the means and opportunity to exploit professional situations.It is impossible to say that one type of crime is worse than the other, for both have serious and lasting effects for the victims. Blue-collar crime gets more consistent exposure in the media, so we usually hear more about it on a regular basis. However, even though we might not hear many news stories about white-collar crime, it still occurs every day. The increase in computer crime and rising instances of identify theft are testament to that.41. Which of the following would make the best title for this article?A. White-Collar Crime: A Victimless Crime.B. A History of Blue-Collar and White-Collar Workers.C. Blue-Collar Crime Versus White-Collar Crime: An Explanation.D. An Examination into Blue-Collar Crime.42.

I submit articles to several different websites and I also write regular updates to my own blog. In China alone, that's more than one billion potential readers!I carry my laptop computer with me wherever I go, just in case something happens and I need to report on it. Many days I just write about minor events, but you never know when something truly momentous will happen. Moreover, when something big does happen, you need to be quick and get the story in first. Other reporters can sometimes be ferocious and try to steal the big stories. If you're too slow, you'll definitely miss out.For example, I was drinking coffee one morning at a local café when I saw a police chase speed down the street. The reporter in me got curious, so I quickly hopped in my car to follow the police. Was I ever startled to find out that the person the police were chasing was a famous movie star! I was the first person to report the arrest and it really helped my career. Reader feedback on my blog was overwhelmingly positive and I almost doubled the number of people visiting my site!Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.One of the most memorable days of James's life began as a bright and beautiful morning. In fact, it was one of the most beautiful days James could ever remember. He went to work as usual in downtown Washington, DC and everything seemed normal. However, during his 9:00 meeting, something strange happened. The world as he knew it changed forever.Shortly after 9:30, the entire building shook. James and his coworkers all looked around at each other in nervous wonder. Instantly, the sirens began—police cars, ambulances, fire engines. It seemed to be a never-ending parade of emergency vehicles speeding by his building. You see, James works less than a mile from the Pentagon and the day was September 11, 2001.。

Over the past decade, volu ntourism and short-term volu nteeri ng have exploded in popularity. They seem to an swer many of the classic criticisms of tourism and, un like traditi onal intern ati onal volu nteeri ng, let us go whe n and where we wan t. I n short, this new type of trip seems too good to be true. In many cases it is.Volu nteer ing causes un employme nt. Why pay some one to do a job whe n some one else will do it for free? I visited one school in Malawi where the head teacher took Western volu nteers because they were cheaper tha n pay ing local staff. Sure, there are some projects that will not get done without volu nteers ——but you still n eed to ask whyyou are n eeded, and whether the work would not be better done by a paid local pers on. Maybe the best con tributi on you could make would be to help pay that pers on.Often volu nteers want to do what they do not do at home. If they work in an office they want to dig a well or teach kids. But if you do not know how to do someth ing in your own cou ntry, how will you know how to do it in some one else's?Volu ntourism can en courage Wester ners to see developme nt as "simple", as someth ing that comes from outsiders (rather tha n local people and gover nmen ts) and that can be done by un skilled, but enthusiastic Westerners. But if development was that simple it would all have bee n sorted out long ago ——and worse still, the "developme nt is simple" message reduces the n eed for political cha nge and the support for lon g-term susta in able soluti ons.In stead, volu ntourism and short-term volu nteeri ng tend to operate outside of wider developme nt policy and thinking. Despite good inten ti ons, projects that operate in this way may not be really helpful —for example, a classroom gets built when what is really n eeded is a health educati on program. If tourists want to con tribute, the n they n eed to work together with developme nt age ncies and gover nmen ts.Despite these criticisms, the answer is not to abandon all forms of volu nteeri ng. In stead, we should support those orga ni zati ons that address these criticisms, operate in a moral way and do not solely put in the first place the sudde n thoughts of the tourist.1. Which of the followi ng stateme nts is true accord ing to thispassage?严 A. Volu ntourism can let us go any where for free.B. Volu ntourism makes lots of people out of work.C. Volu nteers should be un skilled people.D. Voluntourism always operates in really helpful ways.2. It can be con cluded from the sec ond paragraph thatA. people prefer to hire some one for free.B. volu nteers get less paid tha n local staff.C. a paid pers on will do better tha n a un paid pers on.D. volu ntary work ben efits the society a lot.3. Why do people prefer to employ volu nteers rather tha n local staff?A. Because they are cheaper tha n local staff.B. Because they do a better job tha n local people.C. Because they have special skills.D. Because they are more en thusiastic in their work.4. Which of the following statements is NOT a disadvantage of volunteeri ng?A. Volu nteers might be un skilled despite their en thusiasm.B. Volu ntourism can mislead people in their un dersta nding ofdevelopme nt.C. Volu ntourism might be operated in un helpful ways.D. Voluntourism has become the target of many criticisms.5. What can you infer from the last paragraph?:尹.A. We had better aba ndon volu nteeri ng.B. Volunteering should not be criticized.C. Volu nteeri ng should be operated in a moral way.D. The thought about volunteering should be put in the firstplace.Questi ons 6 to 10 are based on the follow ing passage or dialog. While there is not just one "right" reason to volunteer abroad, it is important to realize that different motivations can lead to different types of service. We warn aga inst wanting "solve other people's problems", as too often this attitude has had negative effects on commu nities and has made local people powerless. Thus, before starting your volunteering program, you had better make yourself clear about the follow ing poin ts.Durati on and Time of YearMany of the international programs have set dates, while others allow volunteers to determine their own start and end dates. Theshorter-term (1- to 3-week) opportunities often involve a specific project such as buildi ng a medical cli nic or repair ing roads. In lon ger-term programs, volu nteers live and work side-by-side with the local people, virtually becoming a part of the local community and its rhythms of daily life.Type of Volu nteer Organi zati onYou may wish to know if the program you are considering is a gover nment age ncy, a for-profit age ncy, or a non-profit age ncy.You may want to ask if the organization is faith-based or secular. In any case, you will want to en sure that your values and objectives are in line with those of your sending and host organizations.A volu nteer orga ni zati on might or might not con tribute part of your program fee to the lon g-term susta in ability of a commu nity and its resources. You may want to know how their funds are used.If you speak with returned volunteers and agency representatives, you can often get a clear picture of the type of work you will be doing and the n ature of the orga ni zati on you will be represe nting.SkillsMany of the opportunities you will find on the website do not require volunteers to have specific skills. A willing spirit and an open mind are often all that is required to assist in the work initiated by local commu nity members. However, if you have professi onal experie nee in a certain field, you may want to choose a program that will allow you to put your skills to use. On the other han d, if you are hop ing to gain new skills or explore new career opti ons, con sider programs that provide the greatest opportu nities for han ds-on work in your area of interest. It is never too late to acquire new skills!6. The word "secular" most probably means _______________A. con cer ned with spiritual or religious affairsB. not conn ected with a church or religi onC. gover ned by or done accord ing to reasonD. con siste ntly reliable7. If you want to get more in formatio n about a volu nteeri ngorgani zati on, you should ______________ .A. ask you frie nds for helpB. speak with retur ned volu nteersC. write to the leader of the volu nteeriing orga ni zati on严 D. search in formati on from the orga ni zati on's website8.

Volunteers have no right to decide the volunteering service (*durati on.C. All volunteer organizations should be non-profit agencies.D. Volunteers are required to have specific skills.Questi ons 11 to 15 are based on the follow ing passage or dialog. America n tee ns are sett ing an example for their pare nts through their volu nteer work, accord ing to a new survey by Harris In teractive.The ran dom n ati onal teleph one survey released this week found that more tee ns volu nteer to support a charitable cause —56 per cent —tha n have a part-time job —39 per cent.Pare nts or guardia ns said 82 per cent of the tee ns in their lives do something to support charitable causes, including volunteering, appeal to others to devote to a cause, weari ng a butt on or T-shirt or don ati ng mon ey. Forty-six per cent of the adults surveyed said they volunteer their time, but they also take credit for inspiring their childre n to volu nteer.The Harris In teractive survey was con ducted in the Un ited States betwee n Jan uary 29 and February 2 among 2,003 adults.Sara Joh nson, a teacher who advises the stude nt service club at a private high school, says she has see n an in crease of tee n in volveme nt in social causes since Preside nt Barack Obama was elected in November. "I thi nk that kids are in creas in gly realizi ng how importa nt it is," said Joh nson, who teaches En glish at Illia naChristia n.Joh nson, 29, said she saw a similar in crease in in volveme nt after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast in 2005, and believes this gen erati on of tee ns is more in volved in charitable work tha n her gen erati on was.The Harris In teractive survey found a quarter of tee ns have become more involved in charitable causes or organizations as a result of the econo mic dow ntur n, but the economy has also led to cuts in pocket mon ey, and has tee ns work ing more hours at a pay ing job.Un like many public high schools across the n ati on, Illia na Christia n does not require its stude nts to clock public service hours. Senior Melissa Martin said some kids are too busy with other commitments like sports and music, but most of her classmates do volunteer.Alynn Woods on, director of volu nteer en gageme nt at Habitat for Huma nity Intern ati on al, said she has no ticed a new en thusiasm among tee n volu nteers for the Atla nta-based orga ni zati on, which has had a structured youth program since 1987.Habitat for Humanity celebrates the 20th anniversary of its spring break program this year and is expecti ng over 12,000 you ngsters to help build homes for low-i ncome people arou nd the n ati on.11.

As teachers circulate through class to monitor student progress during Ianguage activities, the volu nteer does the same. He or she can check for accurate pronun ciati on, read ing comprehe nsion, accurate grammar and gen eral comprehe nsion of the activity.A volu nteer can be a co-prese nter in ESL classes. He or she can assist teachers in the presentation of new activities. For example, a volu nteer can take a role in an En glish dialogue with teachers. If teachers are prese nti ng a con versati on to class, the volu nteer can take the other part so that it creates better lan guage en vir onment for the students. The volunteer can also model the activity with teachers. If teachers want the stude nts to do pair work, the volu nteer can dem on strate how it should be don e. It is best if teachers let the volu nteer know exactly what they are look ing for in adva nee.A volu nteer can play the role of a pull-out group leader. A pull-out group is a group of similar ability stude nts who work separately from the whole class for part of the class sessi on. The groups can address special n eeds the stude nts have in com mon. They can also provide more challe nging work for higher level stude nts and give students an opportunity to focus on skills like English conversation with a lot of feedback that teachers cannot always provide in a large group. Teachers can provide the volunteer with materials and detailed in structi ons for work ing with the group and a place to work.Here are some golde n rules for using volu nteers. First, clear communication is the key. Teachers need to give clear instructions and adequate materials to their volunteers. From the start, ask the volu nteers what they want to get out of volu nteeri ng with the class and expla in what the stude nts n eed from a volu nteer. Second, feedback! Volu nteers n eed feedback on how he or she is doing. Many of them feel n ervous about teach ing. Also, teachers n eed feedback on how volunteer-led class activities go to find out student progress and to make sure the volu nteer feels comfortable doing what he or she has bee n asked.16. As a classroom mon itor, what does a volu nteer do?” A. To mon itor stude nt progress duri ng lan guage activities.严 B. To orga nize new oral En glish.C. To take a role in an En glish dialogue with stude nts.D. To provide more challenging work for higher level students.17. According to the passage, the volunteers do all the followingEXCEPT _______________ .A. to check for accurate grammar and general comprehe nsion ofthe activityB. to take a role in an En glish dialogue with teachersC. to give feedback to teacher on how stude nts do activitiesD. to teach new kno wledge to stude nts18.
