This natural ability of getting to the essence of a subject was the key to the great discoveries made by him in science-This natural gift and his unusual awareness of beauty.2.

When attacking a problem difficult to solve, he kept attempting to deal with it with great effort, just as an animal chases and bites a weaker animal it preys upon until the latter gives in.3. He would look lost in thought, thinking about something distant, and yet meditating within himself. He did not seem to be in deep thought, nor did he knit his brows—he was just in self-contained peaceful contemplation.4.The theories, considered isolated one by one, was really credible, so much so that they seem to be simple and clear. But when considered together,they were so strongly contradictory to each other that a less learned scholar would have given up one or the other completely and would no longer take up the issue again.5.

Paraphrase(1) When I got ready to enter college, I was expecting a college education in some definite fields. I was very eager to know the answers to some questions difficult to understand, and that has made me work and improve myself; especially in areas of study where there were no prompt answers, but there were endless questions.(2) When he read or recited Greek poetry, it seemed that what was described in the verse became alive; both the romantic ideas and the poetical lines sounded like beautiful music, and I, just like him, was motivated to be neither a hero in poetry nor a poet who created poetry, but only a student of Greek culture and poetry, in such a way that I would be able to interpret Greek poetry.(3) “Come on, boy. The world belongs to you—you are expected to do creative thinking and to act creatively for the world. There is still a lot to be accomplished, and a lot to be found out. No poem written can be called the greatest and no railroad built can be the best. The perfect state has yet to be conceived. Everything has yet to be done.(4) What I was hearing was the unrestrained, earnest, and sparkling interchanges of great intellect as sharp as first-rate tools. They werealways polite, speaking one at a time; no one spoke to anyone in secret and no one digressed; they all spoke when there was an issue everyone was interested in; and while they were explaining something, anyone, no matter whether he was for or against the issue, would tell others what he knew about a philosopher’s opinion or a poet’s phrase in order to clarify or to beautify the theme.III.

Paraphrase.1.People spend much of their life time trying hard to keep things in good shape. They think a product, after leaving its factory, should last at least for a reasonably long period before ceasing to work.2. Quality-control instruments and testing devices are also governed by Murphy’s Law, so they are not reliable.3. Look at the artifacts of the pre-industrial era exhibited in a museum and you will see that technology is not the factor that decided the quality of these items.4. If a handmade basket or boat is made by an inexperienced or irresponsible worker, it may break down as easily as machine-made baskets or boat.5. My opinion is that it is the social relationship between producer and consumer rather than the technological relationship between producer and product that makes “handmade” items so highly regarded.III.

Every visitor to this exhibition must show his/her identity card no matter who he/she is.4. The renovation plan for the old city centre is subject to the approval of the municipal government.5.

ADDBDAnswers to the exercises in Unit 9II. Paraphrase1. The other was a newspaperman through and through—uncompromising, energetic, and intelligent about how to report reliable news based on facts.2. The different ways of providing news, i.e., the newspaper, television, and radio seem all to follow the belief that all news is bad news. Why is this so? Could it be because people are used to dwelling on negative news as a rule and because newspaper people are generally sensitive to such news when facing everyday happenings?3. I do not mean to propose that we make up some “good” news and use it as a remedy for the catastrophes reported on the front page. Neither do I consider good news as a thorough and detailed news story about how the local YMCA operates.4. What the news media report on us and on the world is the only information about ourselves and about the world we get. Such reportage had better be faithful to our life—and not be a distortion—because we must rely on the truthful picture of our life to make our decisions and plan our future.5. The knowledge that you come to possess by your own efforts over a long period of time does not become part of your inborn character. You may be able to earn the good life in a good society, but such good life cannot be yours permanently. If the understanding of the good life in a good society is not passed on, you will lose what you have earned.III. Translate1. If there is anything you are not clear about the device, address your inquiry to our head office.2. Before we put the new plan into practice, we had better scrutinize every aspect of it to make sure that it is practicable.3. We expect that there will be a change for the better in this area after the new regulations are implemented.4. Don’t take his words literally. He's just cracking a joke.5. The prospect of employing nitrogen fixation in agriculture is promising.6. His attempt at contriving a correcting fluid which leaves no marks on paper ended in failure.7. The non-Chinese-speaking foreigner gestured to make a request, but he just couldn’t get hi s idea across.8. Without considering the urgency of the matter, he gave us a flat refusal, once and for all.Language WorkI 1-5 BBCCC 6-10 BACAC 11-15 CC A/C BB 16-20 AAC A/B A21-22 A/B CAnswers to the exercises in Unit 11II. Paraphrase1. The more you attempt to shake off your worry, the harder it will be for you to get rid of it/have it off your mind.2. It is not a good idea to begin thinking of pursuing a hobby when you have already grown old.3. It is no good believing that you are in a p osition to enjoy at a moment’s notice any pastime which happens to catch your fancy; pleasure comes from exerting one’s talents in a hobby suited to one’s circumstances.4. Since those very wealthy people can afford to get access to almost anything they may think of and to turn the most fanciful ideas into reality, there is nothing in this world that can interest or excite them any more. To them, a new pleasure, a new excitement may very often make them even more bored about life.5. In fact, it is probably those whose work provides them with their enjoyment are those who are most in need of periodic distractions from their work.III. Translation1. His attempt at insinuating that John was the culprit turned out to be futile.2. He is very clever at improvising excuses when he fails to do what is expected of him.3. His trip to Tibet will gratify his desire to see the Potala.4. This corporation commands excellent human resources.5. Think of an alternative way of entertaining your guests. Don’t always show them VCDs.6. It is harmful to indulge in whims and caprices.7. Try not to lay your hands on anything that you are not entitled to.8. He did not come to the competition.

A person's life is, above all else, shaped by conformity to the customs passed down in his society.2. We cannot understand the complexities of human life unless we know the role of custom in all its manifestations.3. If we conduct any systematic inquiry, it is essential for us to be unbiased/ we need to be unbiased towards every component part of the subject under examination.4. While people were convinced that differences between themselves on the one hand and aboriginal and backward people on the other hand were irreconcilable, the scientific study of the human race as such was not possible.III.

Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective(模糊的形容词), will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose.你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗只见他左敲敲,右敲敲,说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻,结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。
而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。
他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去,一钉到底。
语言也是如此。

Unit OneTEXT I Hit the Nail on the Head(恰到好处;一语中的)•III. Library Work•1. 1) Gustave Flaubert (1821 –1880), French novelist, was associated with, though not representative of, the movement of naturalism and known as one of the greatest realists of 19th-century France.

His writing is marked by exactness and accuracy of observation, extreme impersonality and objectivity of treatment, and precision and expressiveness in style, or the principle of the mot juste.•1. 2) Mrs. Malaprop is a famous character in Sheridan’s comedy The Rivals(1775). She is noted for her blunders in the use of words. ―As headstrong(不受管束的)as an allegory(比方;寓言)(alligator) on the banks of the Nile‖ is one of her grotesque(荒唐的)misapplications. She also requests that no delusions(欺骗;迷惑)(allusions) to the past be made. She has given us the word malapropism(用词错误,尤指误用发音相似而意义全非的词)as a name for such mistakes. •2. Hindi(印地语)is a literary and official language of northern India. Swahili(斯瓦希里语)is a Bantu(班图) language that is a trade and governmental language over much of East Africa and in the Congo region.

具体教学内容如下:第一模块:网络社交•本模块讲解社交媒体等网络工具的使用及相应的英语表达方式。
带插头的毒品:电视和美国家庭(第一部分)在电视机这项发明进入美国人生活的25年后,它已经在人们的生活中根深蒂固,甚至美国至少有一个州的法律规定电视机是生活的必需品,而且如果负债,它可以和衣物、厨具等一样可免于作为财产抵押,并且看电视也成为人们生活中非常普遍甚至不可避免的活动。
只有在电视机进入人们生活的最初几年,作家和评论家们才有充分的洞察力可以将看电视这种活动本身和电视给我们提供的内容分开。
在哪些早期的日子里,作家们经常讨论电视对家庭生活的影响。
不过,奇怪的是,缺乏远见困扰着那些早期的观察家们:他们几乎无一例外地认为电视给家庭生活带来了非常正面的,有益的影响,而且这种影响简直非常奇妙。
早在1947年就有作家预言:“电视机将成为有孩子的每一个家庭的意向真正的财产。
”另一位评论家也声称:“电视将改变你的生活方式和你孩子的生活习惯,但是这种改变肯定是一种非常奇妙的进步。
”1949年,《纽约时报》电视评论家做出这样的评论:“无需调查我们就可以得出这样的结论:电视使家庭成员聚集到了一个房间。
”早期这些关于电视的文章每一篇都会刊登这样的照片或者插图:一家人舒适地围坐在电视机前,女儿坐在妈妈的腿上,男孩靠在爸爸的椅子扶手上,爸爸的手臂环绕着妈妈的肩。
谁会想到大约二十年后会是这样的结果:妈妈在厨房看电视剧,孩子们在自己的房间看动画片,而爸爸却在客厅里看球赛。
当然,在早期的时候,电视机的价格十分昂贵,到1975年百分之六十以上的美国家庭会拥有两台以上的电视机的想法在当时看来简直太荒谬了。
拥有多台电视机所导致的家庭分裂状况是早期的作家所没有预见的。
也没有人能够想象出孩子们最终花费在看电视上的时间会是多少,家长们会经常将看电视作为安抚孩子的手段,电视对于孩子的抚养方式又有多大的影响,孩子的家庭生活越来越多被看电视所主宰——总而言之,没有人能想象得到这一新的媒介支配家庭生活的强大力量。
后来,随着孩子看电视的时间的增加,家长们对于过多地看电视到底会给孩子带来怎样的影响表现出越来越多的忧虑。
Unit 1 恰到好处Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box? He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective(模糊的形容词), will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose.你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗?只见他左敲敲,右敲敲,说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻,结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。
而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。
他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去,一钉到底。
语言也是如此。
一位优秀的艺术家谴词造句上力求准确而有力地表达自己的观点。

Appendix: Paraphrases Exercises (Unit 1 --- Unit 10)Unit 1 Hit the Nail on the Head1.A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective, will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English.(para.1)_______ A writer who is particular about the exactness of an expression in English will never feel happy with a word which fails to express an idea accurately.2. Choosing words is part of the process of realization, of defining our thoughts and feelings for ourselves, as well as for those who hear or read our words.(para.2)_________To a certain extent, the process of finding the right words to use is a process of perfection where you try to search for words that may most accurately express your thoughts and feelings, and words that may most effectively make your listeners and readers understand your thoughts and feelings.3. It is hard work choosing the right words, but we shall be rewarded by thesatisfaction that finding them brings.(para.3)________Finding the most suitable word to use is in no sense easy. But there is nothing like the delight we shall experience when such a word is located.4. The exact use of language gives us mastery over the material we are dealing with.(para.3)________Once we are able to use language accurately, we are in a position to fully understand our subject matter.Unit 2 Beware the Dirty Sea1. The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill - the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it.(para.3)_________What happens is that the Mediterranean, the cradle of many ancient cultures, is seriously polluted. It is the first of the seas that has been made to suffer from a situation resulting from development mixed with an irresponsible mentality. 2.What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach.; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore.(para.5)_______Further, while the places such as Cannes and Tel Aviv dispose of their wastes through a pipe stretching out only half a mile from the shore, most cities do not even bother to do that but simply dump their sewage directly into the sea along the coastline.3. An even greater danger lurks in the seductive seafood dishes that add so much interest to holiday menus.(para.9)__________There is an even bigger hazard hidden in the seafood dishes that are forever so appealing to those holiday-makers.4. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely has proper waste-treatment plant.(para.11)__________Factories are set up around the coastline, few of which, including the most sophisticated, have been equipped with a satisfactory system for dealing with their effluents.Unit 3 My Friend, Albert Einstein1. This knack for going instinctively to the heart of a matter was the secret of his major scientific discoveries --- this and his extraordinary feeling for beauty. (Para. 1)--- This natural ability of intuitively getting to the essence of a subject was the key to the great discoveries made by him in science. This natural gift and his unusual awareness of beauty.2. The intensity and depth of his concentration were fantastic. When battling a recalcitrant problem, he worried it as an animal worries its prey.(Para.9)--- His engrossment in ideas was incredibly intense and deep. When attacking a problem difficult to solve, he kept attempting to deal with it with great effort, just as an animal chases and bites a weaker animal it preys upon until the latter gives in.3. A dreamy, faraway and yet inward look would come over his face. There was no appearance of concentration, no furrowing of the blow --- only a placid inner communion. (Para.10)--- He would look lost in thought, thinking about something distant, and yet meditating within himself. He did not seem to be in deep thought, nor did he knit his brows - he was just in self-contained peaceful contemplation.4. Each of these assumptions, by itself, was so plausible as to seem primitively obvious. But together they were in such violent conflict that a lesser man would have dropped one or the other and fled in panic. (Para.14)--- The theories, considered isolated one by one, was really credible, so much so that they seem to be simple and clear. But when considered together, they were so strongly contradictory to each other that a less learned scholar would have given up one or the other completely and would no longer take up the issue again.5. Einstein’s wor k, performed quietly with pencil and paper, seemed remote from the turmoil of everyday life. But his ideas were so revolutionary they caused violent controversy and irrational anger. (Para.16)--- Einstein's work was done quietly with pencil on paper and seemed to be far removed from the confusion of everyday life, but his ideas were so radical that they led to strong arguments and made people unreasonably angry.Unit 4 The Invisible Poor1. Beauty and myths are perennial masks of poverty. (Para. 5)--- Beauty refers to the beautiful environment. Specifically it refers to the hills, the streams, the foliage in the lovely season in the area of the Appalachians Mountains. Myths refer to Rousseau's concept of the "primitive man," a person who was admired for his supposedly simple and pure life, and who was exempt from the strains and tension of the middle class. Specifically they refer to the run-down mountain houses, supposedly the abode of the fortunate people.When the traveler comes to the Appalachians, he will see the beauty of nature, and the run-down houses remind him of the "primitive man. " He does not know that the people living in the area are actually undereducated, underprivileged; in other words, they are poor. So outward beauty of nature and false beliefs in the "primitive man" are misleading - they simply cover up the truth --- the existence of poverty.2. This new segregation of poverty is compounded by a well-meaning ignorance. (Para. 10)--- The segregation of the poor from the affluent is new because the poor still live in the miserable housing in the central area of a city while the affluent middle class have moved out to the suburbs, so there is little chance for the affluent to see the poor.Well-meaning ignorance refers to the lack of awareness of the existence of poverty on the part of the middle class who actually have good intentions.The middle class hear much about urban renewal, and when they see a slum torn down and modern buildings stand in its place, they feel gratified, thinking that the poor are being taken care of, not knowing that more and more poor people are being squeezed into existing slums.Unit 5 The Plug-in Drug: TV and the American Family, Part I1. The peer group has television-oriented, and much of the time children spend together is occupied by television viewing. (para.8)--- The Children have become television addicts, devoting much of the time when they are together to watching TV.2. Television is not merely one of a number of important influences on today’s child. (para.8)--- Television is not simply just one among many important factors that may influencea child today.3. Through the changes it has made in family life, television emerges as the important influence in children’s lives today. (para.8)--- Television has brought about great changes in family life, playing the dominant role is shaping the lives of children today.4. The television set casts its magic spell, freezing speech and action, turning the living into still statues so long as the enchantment lasts. (para.10)--- . . . the television has its magic power over people. As soon as the television is on, people stop talking and doing anything else, growing to be lifeless statues before the TV screen. They will remain so till the end of the programme.5. Turning on the television set can turn off the process that transforms children into people. (para.10)--- The moment a child sits down to watch television is the moment his growth towards maturity is suspended.Unit 6 Preparing for College1.When I knocked at the college gates, I was prepared for a college education insome branches; my mind was hungry enough for answers to some profoundquestions to have made me work and develop myself, especially on lines which I know now had no ready answers, only more and ever more questions.(para.4)_____When I got ready to enter college, I was expecting a college education in some definite fields. I was very eager to know the answers to some questions difficult to understand, and that has made me work and improve myself; especially in areas of study where there were no prompt answers, but there were endless questions.2.When he read or recited Greek verse the Greeks came to life; romance andlanguage sang songs to me, and I was inspired to be, like him, not a hero nor evena poet, but a Greek scholar, and thus an instrument on which beautiful wordsmight play. (para.6)_____ When he read or recited Greek poetry, it seemed that what was described in the verse became alive, both the romantic ideas and the poetical lines sounded like beautiful music, and I, just like him, was motivated to be neither a hero in poetry nor a poet who created poetry, but only a student of Greek culture and poetry, in such a way that I would be able to interpret Greek poetry.3.“Go to , boy. The world is yours. Nothing is done, nothing is known. The greatestpoem isn’t written, the best railroad isn’t built yet, the perfect state hasn’t been thought of. Everything remains to be done---right, everything.” (para.12)_____ “Come on, boy. The world belon gs to you --- you are expected to do creative thinking and to act creatively for the world. There is still a lot to be accomplished, and a lot to be found out. No poem written can be called the greatest and no railroad built can be the best. The perfect state has yet to be conceived. Everything has yet to be done.4.It was conversation I was hearing, the free, passionate, witty exchanges of studiedminds as polished as fine tools. They were always courteous, no two ever spoke together; there were no asides; they all talked to the question before the house, and while they were on the job of exposition anyone, regardless of his side, would contribute his quota of facts, or his remembrance of some philosopher’s opinion or some poet’s perfect phrase for the elucid ation or the beautification of the theme.(para.14)_____ What I was hearing was the unrestrianed, earnest, and sparkling interchanges of great intellect as sharp as first-rate tools. They were always polite, speaking one at a time; no one spoke to anyone in secret and no one digressed; thay all spoke when there was an issue everyone was interested in, and while they were explaining something, anyone, no matter whether he was for or against the issue, would tell otheres what he knew about a philosopher’s opinion or a poet’s phrase in order to clarify or to beutify the theme.Unit 7 Grouping the Gifted: Pro1. I regard gifted Children as those who possess some quality or innate ability which has been recognized and identified by any number of testing ando bservation devices … ( Para.1)______ In my opinion, gifted children are children who are specialy endowedwith natural abilities which rank high on testing scales.2. I firmly believe that we should group them as nearly as possible according tointerest and ability (giftedness) and challenge them with a type of program that will help them to the fullest extent of their abilities and capacities. (Para.3)________I am of the opinion that children should be grouped according to their interest and ability and be subject to a form of training that will develop theirabilities and capabilities to the utmost.3. The teacher, not the manner in which a class is organized, determinesstudents’ attitude toward individual differences. (Para. 8)_________It is the teacher, rather than the way that the classes are formed, that influences the students in how they look at differences in ability amongthemselves.4. I have confidence that if teachers accept and respect individual worth, that ifthey challenge and spark interests in young people, the individual student will mature and grow successfully along the lines of his interests andabilities.(Para.9)______I am confident that if teachers are aware of individual differences andmotivate young people in different ways, the students will develop throughcultivating their own interests and abilities.Unit 8 Why Nothing Works1. Much of human existence consists of efforts aimed at making sure that things don’t go wrong, fall apart, break down, or stop running until a decent interval has elapsed after their manufacture.(Para.1)---People spend much of their lifetime trying hard to keep things in good shape. They think a product, after leaving its factory, should last at least for a reasonably long period before ceasing to work.2. But gadgets and sampling alone will never do the trick since these items are also subject to Murphy’s Law.(Para.1)--- Quality-control instruments and testing devices are also governed by Murphy's Law, so they are not reliable.3. A single visit to a museum which displays artifacts used by simple preindustrial societies is sufficient to dispel the notion that quality is dependent on technology.(Para.2)---Look at the artifacts of the pre-industrial era exhibited in a museum and you will see that technology is not the factor that decides the quality of these items.4. In unskilled or uncaring hands a handmade basket or boat can fall apart quickly as basket or boats made by machines.(Para.3)---If a handmade basket or boat is made by an inexperienced or irresponsible worker, it may break down as easily as machine-made baskets or boats.5. I rather think that the reason we honor the label “handmade” is because it evokes not a technological relationship between producer and product but a social relationship between producer and consumer.(Para.3)---My opinion is that it is the social relationship between producer and consumer rather than the technological relationship between producer and product that makes "handmade" items so highly regarded.Unit 9 Where Is the News Leading Us?1. The other was … a newsman to the core – tough , aggressive, and savvy in the ways and means of solid reporting. (P. 1)_______The other was a newspaperman through and through -- uncompromising, energetic, and intelligent about how to report reliable news based on facts.2. The news media seem to operate on the philosophy that all news is bad news. Why? Could it be that the emphasis on downside news is largely the result of tradition – the way newsmen are accustomed to respond to daily events? (P.5)_______ The different ways of providing news, i. e. , the newspaper, television, and radio seem all to follow the belief that all news is bad news. Why is this so? Could it be because people are used to dwelling on negative news as a rule and because newspaper people are generally sensitive to such news when facing everyday happenings?3. I am not suggesting that “positive” news be contrived as an antidote to the disasters on page one. Nor do I define positive news as in-depth reportage of functions of the local YMCA.(P.9)__________I do not mean to propose that we make up some "good" news and use it as a remedy for the catastrophes reported on the front page. Neither do I consider good news as a thorough and detailed news story about how the local YMCA operates.4. News people provide us with the only picture we have of ourselves and of the world. It had better be a true portrait – and not a caricature – for it is this picture on which we will base our decisions and around which we will plan our future. (P.11)________What the news media report on us and on the world is the only information about ourselves and about the world we get. Such reportage had better be faithful to our life - and not be a distortion - because we must rely on the truthful picture of our life to make our decisions and plan our future.5. The acquired culture is not transmitted in our genes. The good life in the good society, though attainable, is never attained and possessed once and for all. What has been attained will again be lost if the wisdom of the good life in a good society is not transmitted.”(P.12)________The knowledge that you come to possess by your own efforts over a long period of time does not become part of your inborn character. You may be able to earn the good life in a good society, but such good life cannot be yours permanently. If the understanding of the good life in a good society is not passed on, you will lose what you have earned.Unit 10 Things: The Throw-away Society1. Little girls adore Barbie because she is highly realistic and eminently dress-upable (Para.l)---The reason why Barbie appeals so much to little girls is that she looks just like a real person in real life who can be dressed up in the way they wish.2. Moreover, Mattel announced that, for the first time, any young ladywishing to purchase a new Barbie would receive a trade-in allowance for her old one. (Para.2)---Moreover, Mattel made public that, for the first time, all girls desirous of buying a Barbie from its company were to be given the right of turning in their old dolls in exchange for new models at a reduced price.3. But increasingly, it is the technologically produced environment that matters for the individual. (Para.4)---But more and more, man-made products form a very important part in the lives of people.4. Man-made things enter into and color his consciousness. (Para.4)---Technologically produced things come to be accepted by people and are beginning to shape their mentality.5. Their number is expanding with explosive force, both absolutely and relative to the natural environment. (Para.4)---There has been a tremendous increase in machine-produced things in terms of their actual amount as well as their physical size in proportion to our natural environment.6. Nothing could be more dramatic than the difference between … until it disintegrates from sheer age. (Para.6)---This difference seems most noticeable between the modern throw-away-oriented girls who, on the one hand, are delighted in replacing their out-of-date Barbies forup-to-date ones, and their old-fashioned counterparts, on the other hand, who, like their mothers and grandmothers, are reluctant to part with their dear little dolls until they are timeworn and broken/until they fall apart.7. The idea of using a product once or for a brief period and then replacing it, runs counter to the grain of societies or individuals steeped in a heritage of poverty. (Para.8)---The practice whereby people use a product and then quickly discard it may readily be rejected by those accustomed by scarcity to holding on to their old possessions.。
