Unit 11、技术的意义不在于制造了什么，而是制造的产品以何种方式影响着世界。

(…is not about…;…is about …)The significance of technology is not about what are produced; it is about in what way the products influence the world.2、在登月之后，人类比以前更加明白自己在宇宙中扮演着何种角色了。

(know more about what someone is doing)Human beings know more than ever before about what role they are playing in the cosmos after lunar landing.3、与其说宇宙是向人类挑战，倒不如说它给了人类机会，让他们用不懈的探索来证明人类自身光辉的存在。

(not as much as)The Universe does not challenge human beings as much as it provides them the opportunity to verify (or: demonstrate, prove, certify) their glorious existence through (or: via) endless exploration.4) 在2003 年8 月24 号的晚上，洛杉矶天文台协会为布莱德• 巴瑞先生举办了83 岁生日晚会，他是位著名的火星科幻小说家，在小说中把火星写成了充满了智慧生命的类地行星。

Unit 1Section A注重时间的美国人美国人认为没有人能停止不前。

如果你不求进取，你就会落伍。

这种态度造就了一个投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。

时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一，另一要素是劳力。

人们一直说：“只有时间才能支配我们。

”人们似乎把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待。

我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用作出解释；我们还要因付出时间而收取费用。

时间是一种宝贵的资源，许多人都深感人生的短暂。

时光一去不复返。

我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。

外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是：每个人都匆匆忙忙──常常处于压力之下。

城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方，在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务，或者为了赶快买完东西，用肘来推搡他人。

白天吃饭时人们也都匆匆忙忙，这部分地反映出这个国家的生活节奏。

人们认为工作时间是宝贵的。

在公共用餐场所，人们都等着别人尽快吃完，以便他们也能及时用餐，你还会发现司机开车很鲁莽，人们推搡着在你身边过去。

你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈以及与陌生人的随意闲聊。

不要觉得这是针对你个人的，这是因为人们都非常珍惜时间，而且也不喜欢他人“浪费”时间到不恰当的地步。

许多刚到美国的人会怀念诸如商务拜访等场合开始时的寒暄。

他们也会怀念那种一边喝茶或喝咖啡一边进行的礼节性交流，这也许是他们自己国家的一种习俗。

他们也许还会怀念在饭店或咖啡馆里谈生意时的那种轻松悠闲的交谈。

一般说来，美国人是不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的闲聊来评价他们的客人的，更不用说会在增进相互间信任的过程中带他们出去吃饭，或带他们去打高尔夫球。

既然我们通常是通过工作而不是社交来评估和了解他人，我们就开门见山地谈正事。

因此，时间老是在我们心中滴滴答答地响着。

因此，我们千方百计地节约时间。

我们发明了一系列节省劳力的装置；我们通过发传真、打电话或发电子邮件与他人迅速地进行交流，而不是通过直接接触。

英语二1·Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world. The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers’personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that “seeing the calligrapher’s handwriting is like seeing the person”.

Text Translation：Unit2 继承陈嘉庚精神1961年8月12日陈嘉庚先生在京病逝，享年87岁。

中华人民共和国政府为他举行了国葬。

即使在弥留之际，陈先生仍然热衷于他奋斗一生的公共教育事业，留下遗嘱将所有的钱（一百万人民币元）捐给家乡的学校。

陈先生留下了嘉庚公园(Jiageng Park)，一座国家纪念馆，位于中国东南海岛城市厦门集美(Jimei,Xiamen)东南沿海的一个小岛上。

1990年3月11日，中国国际小行星中心命名中国科学院紫金山天文台发现的第2963号小行星为“陈嘉庚星”(“Tan Kah Kee Star”)，纪念他对教育事业所做的卓越贡献。

命名仪式在厦门大学(Xiamen University)举行。

除了“陈嘉庚星”和许多处纪念馆，陈嘉庚在海外华人心目中有着非常高的地位，1992年部分世界上最杰出的华人在香港(Hong Kong)举行会议，成立了陈嘉庚国际协会(the Tan Kah Kee International society)。

这个协会旨在为人类社会的幸福促进科学和文化的发展。

正如中国为陈嘉庚建立了纪念馆一样，在新加坡(Singapore)人们通过捐献、基金会和奖学金的形式来纪念他。

新加坡华侨中学(the Chinese High School)专门在校园的钟楼前为其奠基人陈嘉庚塑立了铜像。

新加坡的后人仍然受益于他的慷概赞助。

陈嘉庚青少年发明奖(Mr Tan’s Young Inventors’ Award)仍然赞助初露头角的年青科学家和发明家，激励着新加坡科学界，在促进新加坡的科学研究能力方面发挥了重要作用。

.除了亚洲，在美国(the United Sates)也可以找到陈嘉庚的名字。

1993年4月28日，经著名科学家李远哲(Lee Yuan Tseh)教授和田长霖(Tien Chang-Lin)教授推荐并积极努力，加里福尼亚大学柏克莱校区化工学院(the school of Chemistry at University of California,Berkeley)新建的一座楼被命名为“陈嘉庚楼”(“Tan Kah Kee Hall”)。

他再没像以前那样抱怨天气：“我很高兴地球上有天气变化。

Curiosity is never satisfied. It merely finds new targets.5、Al Bean would simply marvel at the variety of human life.6、They felt deeply that the Earth is both beautiful and fragile. The earth needs more care and protection7、The Apollo missions gave a big boost to Green movement. The Apollo missions had deep and lasting effect on many environmentalists. An organization called “Friends of the Earth”was founded after the astronauts first walked on the moon. The inaugural Earth Day happened a year later.8、The greatest reason to celebrate the 40th anniversary of moon landing is personal, because the celebration is a good opportunity for everyone on the earth to think more about his responsibility in protecting and prospering this planet.二1、They are of great help to cut down the amount of toxins, which are by-products of the consumption of energy.2、Solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydroelectricity, and biofuels.3、Solar energy, wind energy and hydroelectricity.4、It never has a constant speed or direction.5、The advantages of biofuels are that they contain no petroleum, and they are nontoxic and biodegradable.三1、Problems simply arise when we expect or assume the opposite sex should think, feel or act the way we do.2、Men and women shall first understand the ways they are different, then accept their differences, and live their lives fully and as skillfully as possible. They must avoid trying to change others to suit their needs.3、Women are usually more concerned about how problems are solved than merely solving the problem itself. The process of solving a problem can strengthen or weaken a relationship. For men, how the problem is solved is not nearly as important as solving it effectively and in the best possible manner. They are often distracted and do not attend well to the quality of the relationship while solving problems.4、While women take a broad or “collective”perspective, and view elements in a task as interconnected and interdependent, men tend to focus on one problem at a time or a limited number of problems at a time, and view elements in a task as less interconnected and more independent.5、While women have an enhanced ability to recall memories that have strong emotional components, men tend to recall events using strategies that rely on reconstructing the experience in terms of elements, tasks or activities that took place.6、Men feel closer and validated through shared activities. Women, on the other hand, feel closer and validated through communication, dialogue and intimate sharing of experience, emotional content and personal perspectives.四1、A hacker usually breaks into other people’s computers and makes a computer do what heWants whether the computer wants to or not.2、The two senses of “hack”, whether it is a compliment or an offence, have something in common: they both break the rules3、No, they don’t. It is because the motive of hackers—intellectual curiosity—is totally different from the usual criminal motives.4、Outsiders, including hackers, make great contributions to the development of the next generation of computer technology5、It is because they will strangle the innovative and creative spirit of Americans and eventually will do harm to the whole nation.6、It means people’s behavior and thinking pattern are confined to rules in those countries五1、It is a car powered by compressed air.2、Hybrids are only marginally less polluting than the most efficient combustion engines.Hydrogen power is expensive and impractical. Fuel cells are expensive and unproven. Besides, electric cars are reliant on expensive, unreliable battery technology.3、Compared to electric cars, air-powered cars cost a fraction of the price to buy, they don’t need expensive batteries to be replaced every five years or so and crucially they take only a fraction of the time to recharge.4、Air power has a real chance of putting a rocket up the $200 million-a-year global auto industry, radically improving the quality of urban life and making a serious dent in global carbon emissions in the process.5、The cars are made of fiberglass, which is lighter and 10 times stronger than steel.6、The technique of air-powered cars will be licensed for use in many countries, and Negre wants it to be used to power aircraft.七1、Social animals make two sorts of choices: consensus decisions in which the group makes a single collective choice, as when house-hunting rock ants decide where to settle; and combined decisions, such as the allocation of jobs among worker bees.2、Consensus decisions are described in Condorcet’s “jury theorem”as follows. If each member of a jury has only partial information, the majority decision is more likely to be correct than a decision arrived at by an individual juror. Moreover, the probability of a correct decision increases with the size of the jury.3、Before a colony of honeybees migrates, scouts are sent out to search for new nest sites and report back using a waggle dance to advertise suitable locations. The longer the dance lasts, the better the site is. After a while, other scouts start to visit the sites advertised by their compatriots and, on their return, also perform more waggle dances. The process eventually leads to a consensus on the best site and the swarm migrates.4、The major factor contributing to bees’ability to identify quickly the best site lies in the interplay of bees’interdependence in communicating the whereabouts of the best site and their independence in confirming this information.5、The reason that honeybees can prevent such group-thinking that affects good decision-making as investors do in the stock market is that the swarm not only share the collection of information but also independently confirm it. Conversely, there might be an inbuilt bias among people to copy one another when they come together to consider a problem.6、The experiment on ant migration shows that the dynamics of collective decision-making are closely entwined with the implementation of these decisions. It indicates that it is important to recruit active leaders to a cause so as to get others to follow.。

Unit 1原文：English is known as a world language, regularly used by many nations whose English is not their first language. Like other languages, English has changed greatly. The history of the English language can be divided into three main periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English. The English language started with the invasion of Britain by three Germanic tribes during the 5th century AD, and they contributed greatly to the formation of the English language. During the medieval and early modern periods, the influence of English spread throughout the British Isles, and from the early 17th century its influence began to be felt throughout the world. The processes of European exploration and colonization for several centuries led to significant change in English. Today, American English is particularly influential, due to the popularity of American cinema, television, music, trade and technology, including the Internet.翻译：人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言，经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。

当就业市场恶化时，许多学生估算着他们不能再主修英语或历史。

他们得学一些能改善他们就业前景的东西。

The data show that as students have increasingly shouldered the ever-rising c ost of tuition,they have defected from the study of the humanities and toward applied science and "hard"skills that they bet will lead to employment. In oth er words, a college education is more andmore seen as a means for economic betterment rather than a means for human betterment.This is a trend that i s likely to persist and even accelerate.数据显示，随着学生肩负的学费不断增加，他们已从学习人文学科转向他们相信有益于将来就业的应用科学和“硬”技能。

Unit 7A如果你常常生气、身心疲乏，好像你生活中的压力正在快速地积聚，将要失去控制，那么你可能是在损害你的心脏了。

假如你不想损害自己的心脏，你就需要努力学会在力所能及的范围内控制自己的生活──并且承认有许多东西你是无法控制的。

这是罗伯特·S. 埃利奥特博士的观点。

他是内布拉斯加大学的临床医学教授，新书《从压力到力量：怎样减轻你的负担，拯救你的生命》的作者。

埃利奥特说在这个世界上有一类他称之为“热核反应堆式的人”（即易怒的人）。

对这些人来说，紧张会导致他们血压大幅度迅速上升。

埃利奥特说，研究人员已经发现，有压力的人除了其他症状外，胆固醇的含量也较高。

“我们已经做了多年研究，证明过分忧虑或紧张所产生的化学物质的确会损伤心肌纤维。

这种情况发生时往往很快，不到5分钟。

它会造成许多短路，而且这种短路会引起严重的心律不齐。

心脏跳起来不像一个泵，而像一只装着蠕虫的袋子（杂乱而又绵软无力）。

当这种情况发生时，我们就活不成了。

”现年64岁的埃利奥特，在44岁时曾有过一次心脏病发作，他把那次心脏病发作的部分原因归于压力。

多年来，他一直是一个“热核反应堆式的人”。

表面上，他显得沉着、冷静、泰然自若，但他内心深处的压力使他筋疲力尽。

他现在身体状况很好。

他说，压力破坏性程度的主要预测指标是FUD因素──FUD指的是恐惧、犹豫和怀疑──再加上可察觉到的缺乏控制力。

对许多人来说，压力的根源是愤怒，而对付愤怒的诀窍是找出怒从何来。

埃利奥特问道：“这种愤怒是否来自这么一种感觉：希望一切事物都必须完美无缺？”“这在职业女性中是很常见的原因。

她们觉得要让人人感到她们无所不能，而且要把样样事情都做得完美无缺。

她们认为，‘我应该这样，我必须这样，我不得不这样。

’追求完美永无止境。

完美主义者事必躬亲。

他们生气是因为他们不得不把什么事情都扛在自己肩上，还为之发脾气。

随后他们就感到内疚，接着他们就再把整个过程重复一遍。

”“还有的人生气是因为他们的生活没有方向。

Unit 1 一小步，重返我们的始发地阿波罗登月任务本应揭示月球的真相，但实际上却让我们更了解了地球和人类自身。

1969年7月，尼尔·阿姆斯特朗和巴兹·奥尔德林刚从月球返回。

人们给他俩播放了录像短片，上面记录了全世界对登月的反响。

他俩看到美国新闻主播沃尔特·克朗凯特在擦拭泪水；从中国到巴西，人们簇拥在电视机前；电视机专卖店外的人行道上也挤满了敬畏不已的观众。

奥尔德林转向阿姆斯特朗说：“尼尔，我们错过了整场好戏。

”这一评论让人想起乔治·哈里森（甲壳虫乐队成员之一）的抱怨。

他说，甲壳虫乐队觉得自己是局外人，因为“我们是唯一无缘看到‘甲壳虫’演出的人”。

奥尔德林的话揭示了阿波罗任务的一个惊人事实：它们不是关于月球，而是关于地球。

登月背后的思考从登月任务实施之初，即阿波罗8号飞船的成员作为第一批飞离地球的宇航员时就初露端倪了。

当他们在1968年平安夜围绕月球飞行时，他们真正好奇的不是飞船下方的死寂晦暗的月球，而是远方那个鲜活蔚蓝的地球。

这三个人，是第一批近距离俯瞰月球的地球人，他们心里油然而生一股崇敬之情，因为他们是第一批从浩瀚穹宇眺望地球的宇航员。

目睹地球从月平线上升起，他们觉得自己很渺小。

他们向全世界亿万听众诵读《圣经·创世纪》的开篇，结束时问候大家：“圣诞快乐，上帝保佑你们，地球人！”在随后的四年里，阿波罗任务教会我们作为人类意味着什么：一句话，永不满足现状。

好奇心没有穷尽，它只是不断找到新目标。

这一转变有多快，彼得·康拉德可谓感受良多。

他是月球行走第三人（也是第一个在月球上摔倒的人）。

一旦阿姆斯特朗和奥尔德林摘得首次登月的桂冠之后，没有人再对阿波罗12号感兴趣了。

康拉德后来和其他过了气的美国名人一起出现在美国运通金融公司的广告中，其中包括为兔八哥配音的梅尔·布兰科。

然而，从诸多方面看，康拉德参加的探月飞行是所有阿波罗任务中最有趣的一次。
