Unit 4Reading 1Language points1 Work in corporate America (Title)Corporate America is a general term given to a large non-government-owned organization or companyin the United States, eg a bank, a marketing research company etc. It has both positive and negativeconnotations. Positively, it means that a company or an organization produces wealth and improvespeople’s living standards in a free market and competitive society by p eople working together to achievethe goals. This mainly refers to financial gains and success. Negatively, it seems to indicate the promotionof self-interest, financial gains, greed and irresponsibility in the workplace.2 It is not surprising that modern children tend to look blank and dispirited when ... (Para 1)To look blank means that modern children show no sign of understanding or emotion about the corporateworkplace, they seem unresponsive and have blank looks.Someone who is dispirited does not have the hope, enthusiasm or interest that they had earlier; they are inlow spirits or downhearted.3 The parent could take his offspring to his place of business and let him watch while he repaired abuggy or built a table. (Para 2)A buggy is a vehicle used for babies and toddlers by carers (parents, grandparents and adults in caringprofessions), to push them around. It is also called a pushchair. In the US, it is called a stroller.4 When a child asked … his father could answer in terms that a child could come to grips with, suchas “I fix steam engines” or “I make horse collars”. (Para 3)The expression come to grips with normally means to face up to a problem, situation or difficult job anddeal with it. Here, it means that someone gets to understand something that is difficult or unpleasant. It hasthe similar meaning as to come to terms with, tackle, handle, manage etc. Horse collars are made of leather and fit around animals’ necks to allow themto pull heavy things. Whenhorses are used to pull carts or carriages they wear horse collars. Here, in corporate America, this is adeliberate image of something very old-fashioned, just like steam engines.5 How can he possibly envision anyone analyzing a system or researching a market? (Para 5)The word envision is a verb which means to show a visual scene in your mind, to imagine something thatis outside your experience, which has not happened or does not exist.6 Even grown men … and it is a safe bet that the average systems analyst is as baffled about what aspace salesman does at the shop as the average space salesman is about the tools needed to analyze asystem. (Para 6)The expression it is a safe bet means that the speaker or writer is sure about something (they would bewilling to risk money to confirm it).Changing times Unit 4117A space salesman deals with the arrangements for the use of space in offices and other places: How manyrooms might be needed for what purposes, what sorts of work people do in particular offices and how theoffice furniture and equipment can best be arranged for the maximum effectiveness, how much it coststo rent or use office accommodation in different parts of a city ... But probably, a space salesman mainlydeals with people who want to rent office space.In this sentence the writer is saying he is quite sure that neither the systems analyst nor the spacesalesman knows about each other’s work and what they actually do.7 The machines that make things make them in such a fashion that they will quickly fall apart insuch a way that repairs will be prohibitively expensive. (Para 7)The expression in such a fashion means in a particular way or manner.The cost is prohibitively expensive when it prevents you from buying something, as it is beyond the limitsof what you can afford. Or, we may say the cost is prohibitive.The sentence means that the machines make things in such a way that they will break or fall into piecesso that they can’t be cheaply repaired. It is implied that the things are made to be short-lasting so that themanufacturers can sell more later.8 The handful of people remotely associated with these machines can, of course,tell their inquisitivechildren “Daddy makes junk”. (Para 8)Inquisitive children are those who like to ask lots of questions, especially things that adults do not wantto talk about.9 Most of the workforce, however, is too remote from junk production to sense any contribution tothe industry. (Para8)The sentence means most workers are distant from the process of junk production so they do not feel thattheir work has any part in it.10 Others telephone to ascertain the whereabouts of paper. (Para 12)The expression ascertain the whereabouts of something means to find out where something is.11 Back at the office, the father orders the paper retyped and reproduced in quintuplicate, and thensent to another man for comparison with paper that was reproduced in triplicate last year. (Para 16)The word quintuplicate means that something is made into five copies. To quadruplicate means to makeinto four copies; triplicate three copies; and duplicate two copies.

(Introduction)Obsession is an emotional state in which someone or something is so important that you are alwaysthinking about them, in a way that seems extreme to other people.2 We live in a world of unprecedented, dazzling change. (Para 1)The word unprecedented means never having happened or existed before, eg an unprecedented situation,an unprecedented change.3 Thanks to globalization, national frontiers are collapsing around us, while technological innovationsare fundamentally reshaping our lives in ways we can barely comprehend. (Para 1)Because of the situation of globalization –that the whole world is developing a single complex economy,communication system and culture –it seems that there are no national borders and new technologies areinfluencing our lives in basic ways which we cannot really understand.4 So run the clichés, anyway. (Para 2)A cliché refers to a phrase or idea that is boring because people use it a lot, and it is no longer original andsounds empty. The expression so run the clichés means these are the clichés you often hear.5 But it is only our obsession with novelty, ignorance of deeper historical patterns and arrogantinsistence on our own importance that leads us into this kind of talk. (Para 2)Historical patterns refer to major events in history which make patterns because they are related to eachother or similar.Changing times Unit 41256 Yet there is a good case that we do not, in fact, live in very interesting times at all. (Para 2)A case here is a set of facts or arguments that you can state for or againstsomething. A case forsomething is positive support or a good case; a case against something is a counter-argument or reasonswhy the case is not valid; a poor case is weak and does not have solid facts or reasons behind it. You canstate, make or argue a case.7 Take the example of globalization, which, according to its American champion, Thomas Friedman ...influencing “the politics, environment, geopolitics and economics of virtually every country in theworld”. (Para 3)The word champion here refers to someone who publicly supports or defends a set of beliefs or politicalaims, ie a strong supporter.Geopolitics means the study of how a country’s position, economy or population can influence itspolitics, especially in relation to other countries.8 The Roman Empire, for example, is nothing if not a multi-ethnic, multicultural, transnationalentity … (Para 4)The word transnational means affecting or involving several countries. The prefix trans- means across.9 And for all the hype about the Internet, the brutal truth is that most of us use it to do remarkablyold-fashioned things ... (Para 6)Hype refers to the use of a lot of advertisements or other publicity to influence or interest people. To hypeup means to make something sound more interesting or impressive than it is. The brutal truth refers to the truth that is extremely honest, given in a way that seems unkind.10 We are always being told that the Internet has “opened up” the world, yeta staggering 90 per centof all web traffic is local. (Para 6)The word staggering means extremely surprising. Many people would think that much or most use, ortraffic, of the World Wide Web would be global or international, but the writer says that, surprisingly, 90 percent is local.11 When Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey … talking to sentient computers and living onthe Moon. (Para 7)Sentient computers are computers which are capable of feeling things through the physical senses.12 But the cinema-goers of 1968 would have been deeply disappointed to realizethat in fact theywould be living in Milton Keynes and watching Midsomer Murders. (Para 7) This sentence presents a contrast with the previous sentence which gave a picture that people had in 1968of possibly going into space. Instead, their future turned out to be living in a very ordinary town of manynew streets which all seem identical (like Milton Keynes) and watching detective stories about ruralvillages on TV (like Midsomer Murders, a TV series based in rural southern England).13 Even our neophilia is nothing new. (Para 8)The prefix neo- means modern or new. The suffix -phile describes someone who loves or likes something;thus an anglophile likes English things, a francophile likes French things, a sinophile likes Chinesethings. The word neophilia means the love of new things or novelties.14 If so, then we are lucky, because we don’t. (Para 10)We are lucky because we don’t live in interesting times, which means we should avoid the chaos andanxiety of interesting times.Dealing with unfamiliar words5 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 an emotional state in which someone or something is so important to you that you are always thinkingabout them (obsession)2 the study of the way that goods and services are produced and sold and the way money is managed(economics)3 to proudly tell other people about what you have done or can do, or about something you own (boast)4 a car (automobile)5 an area or town near a large city but away from its centre, where there are many houses, especially formiddle-class people (suburb)6 a new idea, method, piece of equipment etc (innovation)7 something that you suggest is true, although you do not say it directly (implication)8 the limits of your experience (horizons)6 Complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in Activity 5.1 The middle-class dream used to be to live in a peaceful suburb and own a new automobile.2 Today we have an obsession with healthy lifestyles and the latest technological innovations.3 He has good reason to boast about the progress he has made in his career.4 The implication is obvious: We are beginning to understand the impact of globalization.5 Most of us need a professor of economics to explain how our horizons have been pushed back by theopening up of new world markets.7 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box.

初二历史大事英语作文Title: Major Historical Events in the Second Year of Middle School。
In the second year of middle school, students delve deeper into the annals of history, exploring significant events that have shaped the world we live in today. Let's embark on a journey through time and uncover some of the most pivotal moments that occurred during this period.1. The American Revolution (1775-1783):The American Revolution marked a turning point in history, as the thirteen American colonies revolted against British rule, leading to the birth of the United States of America. Key events such as the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the Declaration of Independence, and the Battle of Yorktown unfolded during this time, ultimately leading to the defeat of the British and the establishment of a new nation founded on principles of liberty and democracy.2. The French Revolution (1789-1799):The French Revolution was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France, resulting in the overthrow of the monarchy, the execution of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, and the rise of the First French Republic. The revolutionaries advocated for ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity, leading tosignificant reforms and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.3. The Industrial Revolution (18th-19th centuries):The Industrial Revolution was a period of profound economic and social transformation, characterized by the shift from agrarian and handmade production methods to mechanized manufacturing and factory production. Inventions such as the steam engine, spinning jenny, and power loom revolutionized industries such as textiles, transportation, and agriculture, leading to urbanization, mass production, and the rise of capitalism.4. World War I (1914-1918):World War I, also known as the Great War, was a global conflict that engulfed much of Europe and beyond, pitting the Allied Powers against the Central Powers. The war was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary and escalated into a devastating conflict marked by trench warfare, technological advancements, and millions of casualties. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, formally ended the war but laid the seeds for future conflicts.5. The Russian Revolution (1917):The Russian Revolution of 1917 was a pair of revolutions that overthrew the Romanov dynasty and led to the establishment of the Soviet Union. The February Revolution resulted in the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and the establishment of a provisional government, while the October Revolution, led by the Bolsheviks under Vladimir Lenin, saw the seizure of power by the Soviets andthe establishment of a socialist state.6. The Civil Rights Movement (1950s-1960s):The Civil Rights Movement was a struggle for social justice and equality for African Americans in the United States, aimed at ending racial segregation and discrimination. Led by figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X, the movement employed nonviolent protests, legal challenges, and grassroots activism to bring about significant legislative and social changes, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.7. The Space Race (1957-1975):The Space Race was a competition between the United States and the Soviet Union to achieve significant milestones in space exploration, driven by Cold War rivalry and ideological tensions. Key events such as the launch of Sputnik 1, the first human spaceflight by Yuri Gagarin, and the Apollo 11 moon landing captured the world's attentionand symbolized technological prowess and national prestige.8. The Fall of the Berlin Wall (1989):The Fall of the Berlin Wall marked the symbolic end of the Cold War division between East and West, as the barrier that separated East and West Berlin was dismantled, allowing for the reunification of Germany. The event symbolized the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the triumph of democracy and freedom, paving the way for the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War era.These are just a few of the major historical eventsthat students may study during their second year of middle school, each shaping the course of human history and leaving a lasting impact on the world we inhabit today.

中国历史上重要的历史事件英语作文The Enduring Legacy of China's Pivotal Historical EventsChina's rich and complex history is marked by a tapestry of pivotal events that have shaped the nation's trajectory and influenced the course of global affairs. From the unification of the Middle Kingdom to the dawn of the modern era, these milestones have left an indeluring impact on the world. In this essay, we will explore some of the most significant historical events that have defined China's enduring legacy.One of the most transformative events in Chinese history is the unification of the country under the Qin Dynasty in 221 BCE. Led by the formidable Qin Shi Huang, this momentous achievement marked the end of the Warring States period and the establishment of the first centralized imperial dynasty. The Qin Dynasty's legacy is evident in the creation of a standardized writing system, a unified legal code, and the construction of the iconic Great Wall, which served as a defensive barrier against northern invasions. This period also witnessed the development of a sophisticated bureaucratic system that would become the foundation for subsequent dynasties.Another pivotal event in Chinese history is the Tang Dynasty, which reigned from 618 to 907 CE. This era is often regarded as the golden age of Chinese civilization, characterized by artistic and cultural flourishing, technological advancements, and expansive territorial control. The Tang Dynasty saw the rise of Chang'an, the capital city, as a bustling cosmopolitan center that attracted scholars, artists, and merchants from across the known world. The dynasty's openness to foreign influences and its promotion of trade along the Silk Road facilitated the exchange of ideas, goods, and technologies, contributing to China's global prominence during this period.The Song Dynasty, which followed the Tang, is renowned for its remarkable achievements in the realms of science, technology, and commerce. During this era, China experienced a remarkable economic and social transformation, with the development of a sophisticated monetary system, the rise of urban centers, and the expansion of international trade. The Song Dynasty also witnessed the emergence of Neo-Confucianism, a philosophical movement that profoundly shaped the intellectual and cultural landscape of China for centuries to come.The Mongol conquest of China, culminating in the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty in 1271, represents another pivotal moment in Chinese history. This period marked the first time that China was ruled by a non-Han dynasty, and it brought about significantchanges in the political, economic, and social structures of the country. The Yuan Dynasty's openness to foreign ideas and its promotion of trade and cultural exchange with the West had a lasting impact on Chinese society, paving the way for the subsequent Ming and Qing dynasties.The Ming Dynasty, which ruled from 1368 to 1644, is particularly noteworthy for its cultural and technological achievements.

The Ming Dynasty also saw the expansion of China's maritime power, culminating in the voyages of the legendary admiral Zheng He, who led a series of expeditions that established China's presence across the Indian Ocean and beyond.The Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of China, is significant for its role in shaping the modern Chinese state. Under the Manchu rule, China experienced a period of territorial expansion, economic prosperity, and cultural efflorescence. The Qing Dynasty's legacy is also marked by its engagement with the West, as the dynasty grappled with the challenges posed by Western colonial powers and the gradual erosion of its traditional power structures.The establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, following the Chinese Civil War, represents a pivotal moment in thenation's modern history. This event ushered in a new era of socialist transformation and the consolidation of Communist Party rule, which has had a profound impact on China's political, economic, and social development. The reforms and opening-up policies initiated by Deng Xiaoping in the late 1970s further accelerated China's integration into the global economy and its emergence as a major power on the world stage.These are just a few of the many momentous events that have shaped China's rich and complex history.

历史内容英语知识点总结1. The Importance of Studying HistoryHistory is important because it allows us to understand where we come from, how we got to where we are, and where we might be headed in the future. By studying history, we can learn from the mistakes and successes of those who came before us, gain a deeper understanding of different cultures and societies, and develop a better sense of perspective and context. History also helps us to develop critical thinking, analytical, and research skills, as well as empathy and a greater appreciation for the complexities of the human experience.2. The Historical MethodThe historical method is the process by which historians research, analyze, and interpret the past. It involves the careful examination of primary sources (e.g. documents, artifacts, and eyewitness accounts) and secondary sources (e.g. scholarly books, articles, and documentaries), the consideration of different perspectives and biases, and the application of various historical theories and methodologies. The historical method also emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, logic, and evidence-based argumentation in constructing historical narratives and interpretations.3. Key Concepts in HistorySome key concepts that are important to understand in the study of history include causation (the relationship between cause and effect in historical events), continuity and change (the ways in which societies and cultures evolve over time while maintaining certain traditions and patterns), periodization (the division of history into distinct periods based on key turning points or trends), and historical significance (the evaluation of the importance and impact of certain events and individuals in history).4. Major Themes in World HistoryThere are several major themes that cut across different periods and cultures in world history. These include political and social structures (e.g. governments, laws, and class systems), economic systems and trade (e.g. agriculture, capitalism, and colonialism), religious and philosophical beliefs (e.g. monotheism, polytheism, and secularism), technological and scientific advancements (e.g. the Industrial Revolution, the Renaissance, and the Space Age), and cultural interactions and exchanges (e.g. imperialism, globalization, and migration).5. Prehistoric and Ancient HistoryPrehistoric history refers to the period before written records, while ancient history typically covers the development of early civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Important topics in this area include the origins of human civilization, the development of agriculture and urban centers, the rise of empires and city-states, theformation of early political and religious institutions, and the evolution of art, literature, and philosophy.6. Medieval and Early Modern HistoryThe medieval period (roughly from the 5th to the 15th centuries) saw the emergence of feudalism, the growth of Christianity and Islam, the spread of trade and commerce, and the construction of magnificent cathedrals and castles. The early modern period (from the 15th to the 18th centuries) witnessed the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Age of Exploration, the Scientific Revolution, and the rise of nation-states. Key topics in this era include the Black Death, the Crusades, the Protestant Reformation, the Age of Discovery, and the Enlightenment.7. Modern HistoryModern history encompasses the period from the late 18th century to the present day. This era is marked by the Industrial Revolution, the spread of democratic ideals, the rise of imperialism and global conflicts, and the development of new technologies and ideologies. Important events and movements in modern history include the French Revolution, the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Cold War, decolonization, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Information Age.8. HistoriographyHistoriography is the study of the methods, interpretations, and controversies in the writing of history. It involves examining the works of different historians and the ways in which historical narratives have been constructed and revised over time. Historiography also explores the impact of new discoveries, perspectives, and technologies on our understanding of the past, as well as the ethical and political dimensions of historical scholarship.9. Comparative HistoryComparative history involves the study of different societies and cultures in order to identify common patterns, differences, and connections. By comparing and contrasting historical developments across various regions and time periods, historians can gain a more nuanced understanding of the diversity and complexity of human history. Comparative history also contributes to the development of cross-cultural understanding, global perspectives, and interdisciplinary approaches to historical research.10. The Role of Memory and CommemorationThe ways in which societies remember and commemorate historical events and figures have a significant impact on collective identity, national narratives, and public consciousness. Memory and commemoration can be expressed through memorials, museums, holidays, ceremonies, literature, and popular culture. These forms ofremembrance often reflect the values, aspirations, and struggles of different communities, and can also be sources of contention and debate.In conclusion, history is a rich and multifaceted field of study that offers insights into the human experience from various angles.
