高级英语1 unit6 on the art of living withothers1. IntroductionThe art of living with others requires empathy, patience, and a willingness to compromise. Being able to understand and connect with others on a deep level is an essential part of being able to navigate social situations with ease. It is a trait that can be learned and developed over time, but it requires a genuine interest in other people and a commitment to personal growth.2. Developing EmpathyEmpathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. It is an essential skill for building strong relationships and creating a harmonious community. One way to develop empathy is to practice active listening. This involves becoming fully engaged in a conversation, listening carefully to what the other person is saying, and responding thoughtfully. It is also important to remember that everyone's experiences and perspectives are different. This means that we must approach every interaction with an open mind and a willingness to learn from others.3. Patience and ToleranceLiving with others requires patience and tolerance. People come from different backgrounds and have different beliefs, values, and behaviors. It is important to recognize that there is no single "right" way to live, and that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs. When conflicts arise, it is important to remain calm and totry to understand the other person's perspective. This can be difficult, but it is an essential part of building a strong and supportive community.4. The Importance of CommunicationEffective communication is key to living with others. Clear and honest communication can prevent misunderstandings and conflicts. It is important to use "I" statements when expressing feelings or concerns, as this can help to avoid blame and defensiveness. It is also helpful to identify common goals and work together towards achieving them. This can create a sense of mutual trust and respect, which is crucial for building strong relationships.5. ConclusionThe art of living with others requires a range of skills, from empathy and patience to communication and compromise. It is an ongoing process that requires a willingness to learn and grow. By developing these skills, we can build strong and supportive communities that enable us to thrive.。

1) Most Americans remember Mark Twain as the father of Huck Finn's idyllic cruise through eternal boyhood and Tom Sawyer's endless summer of freedom and adventure2) The cast of characters set before him in his new profession was rich and varied-- a cosmos.3) All would resurface in his books, together with the colorful language that he soaked up with a memory that seemed phonographic4) Steamboat decks teemed not only with the main current of pioneering humanity, but its flotsam of hustlers, gamblers, and thugs as well.5) He went west by stagecoach and succumbed to the epidemic of gold and silver fever in Nevada's Washoe region.6) Mark Twain began digging his way to regional fame as a newspaper reporter and humorist.7) "It was a splendid population – for all the slow, sleepy, sluggish-brained sloths stayed at home...8) 'Well, that is California all over’'"9) "What a robust people, what a nation of thinkers we might be, if we would only lay ourselves on the shelf occasionally and renew our edges."10) The last of his own illusions seemed to have crumbled near the end.参考答案1) Mark Twain is known to most Americans as the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel Huckleberry Finn, which are generally acknowledged to be his greatest works. Huck Finn is noted for his simple and pleasant journey through his boyhood which seems eternal and Tom Sawyer is famous for his free roam of the country and his adventure in one summer which seems never to end. The youth and summer are eternal because this is the only age and time we knew them. They are frozen in that age or season for all readers.2) In his new profession he could meet people of all kinds. His work on the boat made it possible for him to meeta large variety of people. It is a world of all types of characters.3) All would reappear in his books, written in the colorful language that he seemed to be able to remember and record as accurately as a phonograph.4) Steamboat decks were filled with people of pioneering spirit (people who explored and prepared the way for others) and also lawless people or social outcasts such as hustlers, gamblers and thugs.5) He took a horse-drawn public vehicle and went west to Nevada, following the flow of people in the Gold Rush.6) Mark Twain began working hard to became well known locally as a newspaper reporter and humorist.7) Those who came pioneering out west were energetic, courageous and reckless people, because those who stayed at home were slow, dull and lazy people.8) That's typical of California.9) If we relaxed, rested or stayed away from all this crazy struggle for success occasionally and kept the daring and enterprising spirit, we would be able to remain strong and healthy and continue to produce great thinkers. 10) At the end of his life, he lost the last bit of his positive view of man and the world.1）汤姆很聪明，丝毫不亚于班上的第一名学生。

a cynical man / a cynical attitude / a cynical smile
With that cynical outlook he doesn’t trust anyone.
• profound to emphasize that sth. is very great and intense
• One of his greatest accomplishments was the development of a writing style that was distinctly American, rather than an imitation of the style of English writers. Twain made a more extensive combination of American folk humor and serious literature than previous writers had done. (local colorism, a dominant fashion from 1860s’—1900s’) The loose rhythms of the language in his books give the impression of real speech. Twain's realistic prose style has influenced numerous American writers.
