Unit5Active reading (1)Language points1 It was snowing heavily … not just to track down the last-minute presents, but to escape the bittercold … (Para 1)To track down means to find something or someone after a long search.At Christmas many people give a lot of thought to find the right gift and buy presents well in advance,others wait and buy something at the last opportunity on Dec 24th to buy the last-minute presents.A place in society Unit 51572 He was not yet enjoying the Christmas spirit ... albeit a working dinner at Joanne’s. (Para 2)The word albeit is used for introducing a comment that slightly changes or reduces the effect of a previousremark, like even if it is / although …3 He was from a hard-working family in upstate Virginia … (Para 2)The word upstate means the place is in the northern part of a particular state in the US.4 But his demeanor concealed a Harvard law degree and an internship in DC witha congressman, ajunior partnership in a New York law firm, along with a razor-sharp intellect and an ability to thinkon his feet. (Para 2)Partnership refers to the position of being one of two or more people who own a company as partners.A junior partner is a newer or younger partner who has less responsibility or fewer shares than a seniorpartner.A razor-sharp intellect is a very intelligent mind, which is quick to think and react; it is as sharp as a razor.The ability to think on one’s feet means being able to think quickly in unexpected situations.5 Senator Rogers was a Democrat … who knew Capitol Hill inside out but who had neverthelessmanaged to keep her credibility with her voters as a Washington outsider. (Para 3)To know something inside out means to know something very well.A Washington outsider refers to someone who is outside the central groups or members of political circlesin Washington and is therefore possibly independent.Senator Rogers was in her third term of office (ie she had been a senator for at least eight years) and sheknew the Senate and the government institutions in Washington thoroughly. Still, she had kept an imagewith voters that she was an outsider (ie she had not been affected negatively by knowing Washington toowell or by becoming too much like other politicians).6 She was pro-abortion, anti-corruption, pro-low carbon emissions andanti-capital punishment, asfine a progressive liberal as you could find this side of the Atlantic. (Para 3)The prefix pro- means in favour of something or someone. The prefix anti- means against. Pro-abortion,anti-corruption, pro-low carbon emissions and anti-capital punishment, all of these examples have beenseen as important political issues in the US, which are debated in political campaigns and thereforepoliticians are generally expected to take a position on them. For example, Senator Rogers was in favourof reducing carbon emissions – the output of CO2 into the atmosphere, because she was aware of thenegative effect of high emissions on climate change.A progressive liberal is someone who believes in social or political change if most people want it,especially change that makes a system fairer.The expression this side of the Atlantic refers to North America. The other side of the Atlantic would be inEurope, and vice versa for speakers in Europe.7 It was election time in the following year, and the word was she was going to run for the Democraticnomination. (Para 3)The expression the word was means there was s ome talk that …, or people were saying that …Unit 5 A place in society158The Democratic nomination here refers to the official approval of a candidate for the president bythe Democratic party. The nomination takes place officially during the Democratic convention beforea presidential election campaign. Up to that point, there are candidates who run or compete for thenomination, later the Presidential candidates run for President. There are parallel processes in theRepublican party.8 He’d never been to Joanne’s … which had often been maligned, or its jazz orchestra, which had aguest slot for a well-known movie director who played trumpet, but because of the stellar qualityof its sophisticated guests: politicians, diplomats, movie actors,hall-of-fame athletes, journalists,writers, rock stars and Nobel Prize winners – in short, anyone who was anyone in this city of powerbrokers. (Para 4)To malign means to say unpleasant things about something or someone, usually unfairly.A guest slot refers to a guest appearance as a particular occasion in a series of performances orprogrammes.The expression anyone who is anyone means any really important person or someone with a well-knownname.Power brokers are the people who control or influence which people get political power in an area.The sentence means he knew the reputation of the restaurant for its famous guests; its reputation was notfor its food or live music (which included a jazz orchestra in which a famous film director sometimesplayed). The guests included politicians, diplomats, actors, journalists, writers, musicians and scientists –anyone who is well-known in Washington, a city in which many people are powerful or influential in thegovernment.9 Inside, the restaurant was heaving with people. (Para 5)The expression heaving with people means crowds of people are pushing and pulling, moving up anddown.10 “Good evening Miss Bacall, good evening Mr Hanks,” and clicked his fingers to summon anotherwaiter to show them to their table. (Para 8)Miss Bacall and Mr Hanks may be oblique references to film stars Lauren Bacall and Tom Hanks.To click one’s fingers means to make a noise with one’s fingers as a signal to summon or call someone.11 The head waiter blinked, and swallowed hard. (Para 22)To blink means to close and open one’s eyes quickly. Here, this shows surprise.To swallow hard means to make a movement in the throat as if swallowing food. Here this showsembarrassment – Alberto realized he has made a mistake.12 In a classless society, Rogers was the closest thing to aristocracy that America had. (Para 23)America has a reputation for being classless, ie it doesn’t have such social classes as European countriesare supposed to have. This means that there are no people like aristocrats, but Senator Rogers was sodistinguished that she seemed like an aristocrat, or very nearly an aristocrat.13 Alberto hovered for a moment, then went to speak to a colleague. (Para 23) To hover means to wait or stay for a moment while somebody decides what to do. This shows that he orshe is unsure for the moment.A place in society Unit 5159Reading and understanding2 Answer the questions.1 Where and when is the story set?The story is set in Joanne’s, a famous restaurant in New York on Christmas Eve.2 Who is Josh?Josh is a smart, hard-working lawyer in his early thirties. He is anAfrican-American.3 Why does he go to Joanne’s?He has an appointment at Joanne’s.4 Who is Jo Rogers?Jo Rogers is a senior Senator in Washington and a well-known person in America.5 How does the head waiter greet Josh?He greets Josh very badly. He has a disdainful, superior attitude towards Josh and behaves rudely.6 Where does he eventually seat him?At the back of the restaurant, close to the bathroom, near a half-opened window through which an icybreeze is blowing.7 What does everyone do when Jo arrives?Everybody becomes silent and turns to look at her and greets her with silent applause.8 What suggestion does the head waiter make?He suggests that they should sit at a better table in the middle of the restaurant, from which she can seeeverybody, or everybody can see her.9 Does Jo accept the invitation?No, she says the waiter brought her friend to that table, so they will stay there.3 Choose the best summary of the passage.Teaching tipsAsk Ss to give reasons why the other two summaries are not the best ones. Please see comments below.1 It’s Christmas time, and a young man comes into a very busy restaurant. The head waiter shows him to atable by an open window. A little later a well-known politician comes in and says she is dining with theyoung man. The head waiter suggests moving them both to a more comfortable table, but the politiciandeclines the offer, saying that she’s happy to stay there if her friend is happy there too.Comment: It summarizes some of the points. But the final sentence is wrong: The Senator doesn’t giveany conditions about staying at the table, she just says they will stay where the waiter seated her friend.2 A well-known politician arranges a meeting with a young man. She wants him to help her in her electioncampaign to become US President. They arrange to meet in a crowded restaurant, where they can speakinformally. The waiter doesn’t recognize the young man, and seats him at the worst table in the room,but when the politician arrives he realizes his mistake, as he knows the two need to be comfortable todiscuss politics.Comment: This is partially wrong and fails to capture the main idea, they arrange to meet at Joanne’sbecause it is a famous restaurant.Unit 5 A place in society1603 When a young black man arrives in a crowded and expensive restaurant, the head waiter makes him sitin the least comfortable place, even though a table has been booked for him and a “Ms Rogers”. WhenMs Rogers arrives, the waiter realizes that she is a well-known politician; and Ms Rogers realizes thather friend has been treated badly because of the colour of his skin. The waiter realizes his mistake too,and tries to make up for it, but it is too late.Comments: This is the best summary because it captures the main point about the treatment of Josh.The passage does not actually state that he was treated badly because of thecolour of his skin, but it isimplied and in the context it is likely to be the point of the story. Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.Teaching tips• To vary the way of doing the activity, ask Ss to work in pairs. Student A randomly picks a word in thebox and asks Student B about the meaning. Student B listens and finds the appropriate answer amongthe definitions. The point is that Ss should interact with each other. For example:A: Can you tell me the meaning of “sophisticated”?B: Yes, just a moment … it means knowing and understanding a lot about a complicated subject.That’s No 3.A: OK, thanks. (writes 3 beside the word)• In order to give the class an example, T may ask one pair to repeat the dialogue to the class. Theyshould try to speak fluently.1 money or goods that you give to an organization, especially one that helps people (donation)2 involving or done with a lot of energy, effort, attention etc (intense)3 knowing and understanding a lot about a complicated subject (sophisticated)4 supporting social and political change that aims to make a system fairer (progressive)5 capable of doing something in a satisfactory or effective way (competent)6 a new member of a company or an organization, especially someone who has recently joined (recruit)7 to deliberately make someone feel frightened, especially so that they will do what you want (intimidate)8 to experience or deal with something, especially a problem (encounter)5 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 4.There are two big political parties in the United States: the Republican party, which is traditionallythe more conservative of the two, and the Democratic party, which is said to be more (1) progressive.One of the most interesting and (2) intense moments in American political life is the election campaignwhich comes before the presidential elections. Both parties need a lot of money to pay for the campaign,for which they rely on (3) donations made by individuals and organizations. Theyalso need a lot of new(4) recruits to work on the campaign. These people are usually young, intelligent and hard-working,(5) competent in their jobs and not easily (6) intimidated, since they are likely to (7) encounter a lot ofproblems which have to be resolved quickly. But they also need to be highly (8) sophisticated, to beable to understand what the American people want, and to communicate with them through the style andorganization of the election campaign.A place in society Unit 5161Additional activityWhen Ss have completed Activity 5, ask them to work in pairs and prepare a brief presentation forCultural Encounters, a slot in a Chinese TV show which gives insights into other cultures around theworld. Each pair should discuss and think of an interesting way to present the information in Activity 5, eg tomake it an interview, a conversation, or a monologue to the camera. Ss will need to introduce the informationand make conclusions using their own words. Choose one or two pairs to make presentations. For example:A: And now it’s time for Cultural Encounters, a brief look at cultures around the world. Today we sharesome insights into election campaigns in the US … I am with Miss Xie who is from Washington DC,the city at the heart of American politics. So, Miss Xie, can you tell us about the two main politicalparties?B: Yes. There are two big political parties ...A: And what about the election campaigns?B: The election campaigns are certainly one of the most interesting and intense moments in Americanpolitical life ...A: And I gather the parties use volunteer recruits?...A: Well, that’s all for now. Thank you very much, Miss Xie. Please join us again next time for CulturalEncounters when we will be taking a look at the Brazilian carnival in Rio de Janeiro …6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box. You may need to makeother changes.1 She’s a pleasant young woman, who is always very good company. (agreeable) She’s an agreeable young woman, who is always very good company.2 I’m afraid the reasons he gave me for not coming to the meeting were silly and unreasonabe. (laughable)3 It is important to fight dishonest and illegal behaviour by officials. (corruption)4 It’s freezing out here, I’m shaking with cold. (shivering)5 You might find someone to help you in the office, but I’m not sure. (doubtful)6 The attendant moved his shoulders up to suggest that he didn’t know the answer. (shrugged)7 Don’t be so annoyed because the service is slow, you won’t miss your flight. (impatient)8 The sound of people clapping at the end of the Senator’s speech lasted for five minutes. (applause)7 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.Teaching tipsAs an efficient way to go over the answer, choose nine Ss and assign each one a number. Each studentthen gives the answer in the form of a complete sentence. T just calls out the numbers and say nothingunless there is a problem.1 If you track down something, do you (a) find it, or (b) lose it after a long search?2 Does someone who thinks on their feet make decisions (a) quickly, or (b) slowly?3 If you know something inside out, do you know it (a) only in part, or (b) very well?4 If you are in the running for a job, do you have (a) some chance, or (b) no chance of being chosen?5 Is a hall-of-fame athlete someone who will be (a) quickly forgotten, or (b) remembered for a long time?6 If the market is heaving with people, (a) is there a crowd of people there, or (b) are there not manypeople there?Unit 5 A place in society1627 If you summon someone, do you want them to (a) come to see you immediately, or (b) go away?8 If you refrain from doing something, do you (a) do it, or (b) not do it?9 If there is a flurry of activity, do a lot of things happen (a) all at once, or (b) over a long period of time?Active reading (2) Language points1 The company sent one of their engineers … where he was introduced to a small Saudi engineeringfirm … (Para 1)The word Saudi is the adjective about the country of Saudi Arabia, used to describe the people and relatedmatters, but not the language. Its language is Arabic, spoken as the major language in the Middle East andNorth Africa.2 This annoyed Johan nesson and his superiors … but the Saudis wanted the intermediary to be there.(Para 1)An intermediary is a go-between (Para 4, Line 6), someone who talks to each of the people or groupsinvolved in business or other matters, usually passing information from one to the other or trying topersuade them to agree with each other. So this person mediates between them.3 Just when Johannesson’s superiors started to doubt the wisdom of the corporation’s investment inthese expensive trips, a telex arrived from Riyadh ... (Para 2)To doubt the wisdom means people are not at all sure about the judgment or decision.4 When he came to Riyadh it appeared that the conflict was over a minor issue and could easily beresolved … (Para 3)A conflict could be resolved. Apart from resolving a conflict, other collocations worth noting are thatconflicts can be solved, settled or handled. Problems can lead to, create or provoke conflicts or become asource of conflict, and conflicts might be avoided, averted or prevented. Unit 5 A place in society1685 This is known in cultural anthropology as the extended family. (Para 5) The extended family is usually the wider family members of a married couple and children, withgrandparents and perhaps uncles, aunts and in-laws who live together or are in regular contact. The nuclearfamily (Para 6, Line 9) is a married couple and their children only, in the classical definition in sociology.6 The “we” group is distinct from other people in society who belong to “they” groups, of which thereare many. The “we” group (or in-group) is the major source of one’s identity …(Para 5)The in-group is the “we” group to which people feel they belong to first for their identity. Thecomplementary group is the out-group or the “they” group to which the in-group may sometimes beopposed, or at other times the in-group is just a tighter group within many larger out-groups.Reading and understanding3 Choose the best answer to the questions.1 Who was Johannesson?(a) A businessman with good contacts in Saudi Arabia.(b) An engineer who lived in Saudi Arabia.(c) An engineer working for a Swedish company.(d) A 30-year-old Swede with a British university degree.2 Why was he sent to Saudi Arabia?(a) To work for a Saudi engineering firm.(b) To work on a project funded by the Saudi government.(c) To take the place of a Swedish engineer who was already there.(d) To learn about Saudi customs and traditions.3 Why wasn’t he happy about the meet ings with the Saudis?(a) The Saudis spent too much time laughing and joking.(b) The trips to Saudi Arabia were long and tiring.(c) The Saudi brothers didn’t speak good English.(d) Another Swedish man was always present.4 What happened after the contract was signed?(a) Johannesson lost his job with the Swedish corporation.(b) The Swedish businessman returned to Sweden.(c) The attitude of the Saudis towards Johannesson changed.(d) The Swedish corporation stopped doing business in Saudi Arabia.5 Why was Johannesson sent to work in a different division?(a) As a reward for getting the contract with the Saudis.(b) Because he wasn’t suited to work with the Saudis.(c) Because he had become too friendly with the Saudis.(d) Because he had got too frustrated by the experience in Saudi Arabia.6 Why was he asked to return to Saudi Arabia?(a) The corporation wanted him to start a new project.(b) There was a lot of new work to do so two people were needed.(c) The engineer who replaced Johannesson fell ill and had to go home.(d) The Saudis trusted only Johannesson to sort out a small problem.A place in society Unit 51694 Work in pairs and answer the questions.1 Why don’t Saudis like doing business with a company?They want to work with an individual that they know and trust.2 Which type of group is a company: a “we” group or a “they” group?A company is a “they” group unless it is a small company.3 What type of family is there in a collectivist society?Families in co llectivist societies are usually “extended”, ie they consist of a larger number of peopleliving closely together.4 How does an in-group give people protection from the hardships of life?

He rode a chariot,traveling on a road heading north. His friend, quite surprised, asked him: “Chu is in the South. You should be traveling south. Why are you heading north?”“Never mind,” the Northerner replied obstinately. “My horse is a good steed. It runs very fast.”His friend said: “No matter how fast it runs, you can never reach Chu by going north.”The Northerner said: “I have prepared enough travel expenses.”His friend said: “Sufficient travel expenses can help you neither.”The Northerner was still obstinate: “I have a strong and capable groom at my service.”His friend said: “No groom, how capable and strong he may be, can be of any use to you if you stick to going northward.”The traveler did not listen to his friend, so he never reached Chu.The idiom “Going South by Driving the Chariot North” derived from this story indicates that one’s action is opposite to his intention.Task Two从前有一个叫麦达斯的国王,他为萨缇做了一件好事。

He told me that next week is Deaf Awareness Week and that we would be discussing it in class. He's already planned several activities and lectures, but, for obvious reasons, he also wanted me to make a class presentation.I stared at him in disbelief. How could I possibly make a presentation to the entire class? I was petrified. I didn't want to do it, and I told him so. He was determined, though. He really thought it would be a good opportunity for me to share my "culture" (his word) with my classmates. That got me thinking. Do I have a unique culture? I've never thought about it like that before.I went straight to the library to do some research. What makes different cultures recognizable and distinct? I know that language is what distinguishes so many cultures. I may be deaf but I still understand English. Yet, I do utilize a form of English that not everyone can understand—American Sign Language, or ASL. Once I realized that, I immediately looked for books about ASL so I could learn more.Soon after Thomas Gallaudet graduated from Yale University, he was commissioned to help teach Alice Cogswell, the deaf daughter of a wealthy local doctor. Gallaudet travelled to Europe, where deaf education had been in existence for a long time, to study communication among deaf people. He met Laurent Clerc in Paris, recruited him to help develop deaf education in the United States, and, in 1817, thetwo founded the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut.Laurent Clerc began teaching American students the form of French Sign Language with which he was familiar. However, many of the students at the new school were already using their own unique form of sign language that had independently developed in their communities. Over time, and with extensive use, the various forms eventually evolved into what we now know as American Sign Language.Sign language is almost exclusively based on easily decipherable hand motions that represent spoken words. Since deaf people rely heavily on their sense of sight, this method of communication is logical. Body language is extremely important in ASL, and subtle movements of the eyebrows, mouth, or fingers often indicate connotations that are typically represented by tone of voice in spoken language.Interestingly, there is still no universal form of sign language that is readily understood by deaf people around the world. Indeed, though people in the United States and Great Britain speak English, American Sign Language and British Sign Language are distinctly different and "speakers" of each form would not be able to easily communicate with one another.You know what? I'm not so scared to make this presentation to my class next week. In fact, I'm actually looking forward to it. Maybe I'll even inspire some of my classmates to learn ASL! That would be great. I guess Mr Jenkins was right. I do have a special culture to share. American Sign Language is like a different language, and understanding that language is essential to understanding me and my culture.41.

What are the common white lies?I say I'm 10 when I'm 9 and a half; I pretend I‘m asleep when my dad walks in, etc. II. Cultural Background(粗体的部门注意在ppt中要保持粗体)1. A white lie is one that lacks evil intent, as opposed to a black lie, which is most certainly malevolent, though normally we don‘t bother to specify that lies are evil. A white lie is harml ess or trivial, which is frequently said in order to avoid hurting someone‘s feelings.2. Behavioral scientist Wendy Gamble identified four basic types of lies for a University of Arizona study in 2000:Prosocial:Lying to protect someone, to benefit or help others.Self-enhancement:Lying to save face, to avoid embarrassment, disapproval or punishment.Selfish:Lying to protect the self at the expense of another, and/or to conceal a misdeed. Antisocial:Lying to hurt someone else intentionally.Section Two Global ReadingI. Text Analysis / Main IdeaThis is a piece of persuasive writing. It is of journalistic style.In this text, the author asserts the ubiquitous presence of petty white lies, analyzes its causes, discusses its grave consequences, and concludes that some lies are justifiable, while others are tobe avoided.II. Structural AnalysisThe author begins with the results of two surveys. Then he comments on the consequences of telling lies. In the end, he discusses which lies should be avoided.Part I (Paras. 1-6) introduces the topic by reporting two survey results.Part II (Paras. 7-11) shows that people often tell white lies so as not to hurt others.Part III (Paras. 12-15) deals with the consequences of telling lies.Part IV (Paras. 16-18) discusses whether lies should be avoided at all costs.Section Three Detailed ReadingI.Text 1The Real Truth about LiesRandy Fitzgerald1 At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, psychology professor Bella DePaulo got 77 students and 70 townspeople to volunteer for an unusual project. All kept diaries for a week, recording the numbers and details of the lies they told.2 One student and six Charlottesville residents professed to have told no falsehoods. The other 140 participants told 1535.3 The lies were most often not what most of us would call earth-shattering. Someone would pretend to be more positive or supportive of a spouse or friend than he or she really was, or feign agreement with a re lative‘s opinion. According to DePaulo, women in their interactions with other women lied mostly to spare the other‘s feelings. Men lied to other men generally for self-promoting reasons.4 Most strikingly, these tellers-of-a-thousand-lies reported that their deceptions caused them ―little preoccupation or regret.‖ Might that, too, be a lie? Perhaps. But there is evidence that this attitude towards casual use of prevarication is common.5 For example, 20,000 middle and high-schoolers were surveyed by the Josephson Institute of Ethics – a nonprofit organization in Marina del Rey, California, devoted to character education. Ninety-two per cent of the teenagers admitted having lied to their parents in the previous year, and 73 per cent characterized the mselves as ―serial liars,‖ meaning they told lies weekly. Despite these admissions, 91 per cent of all respondents said they were ―satisfied with my own ethics and character.‖6 Think how often we hear the expressions ―I‘ll call you‖ or ―The check is in the mail‖ or ―I‘m sorry, but he stepped out.‖ And then there are professions—lawyers, pundits, public relations consultants —whose members seem to specialize in shaping or spinning the truth to suit clients‘ needs.7 Little white lies have become ubiquitous, and the reasons we give each other for telling fib s are familiar. Consider, for example, a corporate executive whom I‘ll call Tom. He goes with his wife and son to his mother-in-law‘s home for a holiday dinner every year. Tom dislikes her ―special‖ pumpkin pie intensely. Invariably he tells her how wonderful it is, to avoid hurting her feelings.8 ―What‘s wrong with that?‖ Tom asked Michael Josephson, president of the Josephson Institute. It‘s a question we might all ask.9 Josephson replied by asking Tom to consider the lie from his mother-in-law‘s point of view. Suppose that one day Tom‘s child blurts out the truth, and she discovers the deceit. Will she tell her son-in-law, ―Thank you for caring so much?‖ Or is she more likely to feel h urt and say, ―How could you have misled me all these years? And what else have you lied to me about? ―10 And what might Tom‘s mother-in-law now suspect about her own daughter? And will Tom‘s boy lie to his parents and yet be satisfied with his own cha racter?11 How often do we compliment people on how well they look, or express our appreciation for gifts, when we don‘t really mean it? Surely, these ―nice lies‖ are harmless and well intended, a necessary social lubricant. But, like Tom, we should remember the words of English novelist Sir Walter Scott, who wrote, ―What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.‖12 Even seemingly harmless falsehoods can have unforeseen consequences. Philosopher Sissela Bok warns us that they can p ut us on a slippery slope. ‗After the first lies, others can come more easily,‖ she wrote in her book Lying: Moral Choice in Public and Private Life. ―Psychological barriers wear down; the ability to make more distinctions can coarsen; the liar‘s perception of his chances of being caught may warp.‖(斜体的部分注意在ppt中保持斜体)13 Take the pumpkin-pie lies. In the first place, it wasn‘t just that he wanted his mother-in-law to feel good. Whether he realized it or not, he really wanted her to think highly of him. And after the initial deceit he needed to tell more lies to cover up the first one.14 Who believes it anymore when they‘re told that the person they want to reach by phone is ―in a meeting‖? By itself, that kind of lie is of no great consequence. Still, the endless proliferation of these little prevarications does matter.15 Once they‘ve become common enough, even the small untruths that are not meant to hurt encourage a certain cynicism and loss of trust. ―When [trust] is damaged,‖ warns Bok, ―the community as a whole suffers; and when it is destroyed, societies falter and collapse.‖16 Are all white lies to be avoided at all costs? Not necessarily. The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of what ethicists refer to as the principle of trust for the principle of caring, ―like telling children about the tooth fairy, or deceiving someone to set themup for a surprise party,‖ Josephson says. ―Still, we must ask ourselves if we are willing to give our friends and associates the au thority to lie to us whenever they think it is for our own good.‖17 Josephson suggests a simple test. If someone you lie to finds out the truth, will he thank you for caring? Or will he feel his long-term trust in you has been undermined?18 And if you‘re not sure, Mark Twain has given us a good rule of thumb. ―When in doubt, tell the truth. It will confound your enemies and astound your friends.‖II. Questions1.What is the result of Professor Bella DePaulo‘s survey? What conclusion can we drawfrom the result? (Paragraphs 1-2)According to the survey done by Professor DePaulo, 140 out of 147 people admitted having told lies. As some of the lies are well-intentioned, people may not regard them as lies. This result shows that telling lies is common.2.What is the result of the survey conducted by Josephson Institute of Ethics? What can welearn from it? (Paragraph 5)According to this survey, among 20,000 students surveyed, 92 percent professed to have told lies and meanwhile, 91 percent never doubted about their own ethics or character. Again, this result shows that telling lies is common and people seldom relate telling lies to morality.3.According to the writer, what could be considered ―nice lies‖? (Paragraph 11)According to the writer, all these co uld be considered ―nice lies‖: complimenting people on their appearance, expressing appreciation for gifts or food.4.What is the grave consequence of telling lies? (Paragraph 15)The ubiquitousness of lies may cause people to be distrustful of each other, thus leading to the collapse of the whole society.Class Activity (该部分放在课文第11段的页面中)Group discussion:What does this sentence ―What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive‖ mean?Can you give an example to illustrate its meaning?III.

Unit 5 The Real Truth about LiesText comprehensionI.CII. TTTFFIII. omittedIV.1. When we start to tell a lie, we would have entered a very intricate situation, as a lie often requires other lies until the whole structure of lies becomes so complex tha t it ensnares the liar.2. One is less inhibited from lying: his ability to tell the truth from the falsehood is dulled, and he may become less cautious against being caught.3.

If you are one of the unluckybird, you'd better check the following advices.Don't Panic!After a job loss, it may seem like your world is crashing in all at once. Stay calm and resist the urge to make any sudden moves—like sending a scathing e-mail or making a scene on your way out—that could hurt you in the long run."It's completely normal to feel panic after a job loss," says Lynn Joseph, Ph D, psychologist and author of The Job-Loss Recovery Guide. In fact, it may feel like the rug has been pulled out from under your career—and your life, she says.Your self-esteem can also take a hit, especially if you think you've been singled out. "Logically and intellectually we know that (we may have been part of a mass layoff), but emotionally we take it personally," Joseph says.With so many emotions at play, the key is to think before you act. Remember, your goal is to leave your job gracefully and with integrity.Avoid immediately jumping into a job search, Joseph warns. "Traditionally we work with interviews and resumes before we work with the emotional loss of a career. We are not taking it in the right order," she says, and advises that you take a few days off to calm yourself down and deal with your emotions. You don't want to land a job interview and break down explaining what happened to you. Get your emotional and body language under control before you attempt to go on the interview trail.Also, don't over-think things or feel as though you have to do damage control when others ask about your job, explains Robert Leahy, Ph D, clinical professor of psychology and author of The Worry Cure. Leahy says accepting reality is essential to making it through this difficult time.It's a normal reaction to grieve the colleagues that you built friendships with over years of work. "People do go through the same stages of grief after losing a job that people experience following the loss of a loved one," Joseph says. The stress and anxiety of losing your job will take time to settle. Don't rush yourself.Create a support teamDon't try to go it alone. Seeking help after a layoff, whether it comes from family and friends, former co-workers or a professional counselor, is an important part of the healing process. Learn to be your best pillar of support."It is important to be openly communicative and try not to hide things and keep secrets," says Dr Lynn Joseph. She says it's important that you deal with the stress and anxiety of a layoff, which can lead to depression. "You will be all fairly better throughout this process if you pool your。

So education is import ant in preventing the spread of HIV.2) There are TWO processes to prevent new HIV infections: one is to give people information about HIV and the other is to teach people how to put this information to use and act on it practically.3) HIV-positive people need to get medical services and drug supplies . And they also need to find appropriate emotional and practical support and help.4) Many people fear those who are HIV-positive. Some extreme cases can be found in India , where AIDS patients were burned to death .Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why does the author describe Charles Winget and his wife in the first paragraph?Because she intends to show that pe ople’s bodies operate at different speeds.2) How would behavioral scientists explain the differences between Charles Winget and his wife?Behavioral scientists would say that such differences were caused by personal eccentricities or early conditioning.3) What are ―circadian rhythms‖ according to Franz Halberg?According to Franz Halberg, circadian rhythms are the regular daily patterns of our body. That is, our systems work on an approximately 25-hour cycle. Sometimes our body speeds up, and sometimes it slows down. It achieves peak efficiency for onlya limited time each day.4) How does the study of chronobiology benefit people in general? Chronobiology tells people how to coordinate their activities with their biological capacities so that they can achieve their best with the least effort.5) What approach has been developed to help a person recognize his body’s patterns?Winget and his associates have developed a simple approach. It is to record 6 readings of a person’s temperature all throughout the day and put the readings on graph paper. The rising or falling patterns of the temperature can be recognized as his body’s patterns.6) How should we arrange our mental and physical work according to the author?Physical work can be best done when our rhythms are at their peak. In most people, this peak lasts about four hours. For mental activities, the timetable is more complicated. Precision tasks such as mathematical work are best tackled when your temperature is on the rise. For most people, this is at 8 or 9 a.m. By contrast,reading and reflection are better done between 2 and 4 p.m., which is the time when body temperature usually begins to fall.7) What tips does chronobiology offer for effective dieting?Eating breakfast rather than dinner helps to lose weight, because calories burn faster in the morning than in the evening.8) What tips for sleep problems are offered in the text?Three tips are offered. The first is that we should go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning, even on weekends. The second is that the best way to recover fr om a bad night’s sleep is simply to resume your normal cycle. And the third tip is that we should beware of sleepin g pills, as most sleeping pills won’t work for periods longer than two weeks and there is real danger of drug accumulation in the blood.2 Text A can be divided into four parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1–4 Our bodies operate with the complexity of clocks. Franz Halberg, a physician-biologist, discovered that there is a 25-hour cycle in the body with the body systems running with regular patterns. Halberg called these regular patterns ―circadian rhythms.‖Two 5–6 Circadian principles have already been used to schedule astronauts’ work and it is expected that the work in chronobiology will be applied to increasing our efficiency in daily activities.Three 7–17 Taking the given approach to figure out our body’s patterns, we can then take advantage of chronobiology techniques to improve our healthand productivity in such aspects of life as our daily work, dieting, taking medicine and sleeping.Four 18 It is important to keep regularity in all aspects of our life and learn to act in synchronization with our body’s natural rhythms.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1. It is barely 5 a.m., but Winget is raring to go. Meanwhile, his wife pulls up the covers and buries her face under the pillow. (Para. 1)Early in the morning Winget wakes up and is eager to begin the day’s work while his wife still needs more sleep. That is to say, people’s body clocks run at different speeds, thus leading to different waking times.2. Halberg’s expla nation: instead of performing at a steady, unchanging rate, our systems function on an approximately 25-hour cycle. (Para. 4)Many people believe that our systems work at the same rate all throughout the day, but it is not true.3. Of course, individual variations make all the difference. (Para. 11) Different people may show different patterns of temperature change, and such differences reflect differences in their circadian rhythms.4. ―All the subjects lost weight eating breakfast,‖ states Sothern. ―Those who ate dinner either maintained or gained weight.‖ (Para. 14)Sothern, a chronobiologist who personally did the research and whose words are to be taken seriously, emphasizes the point that for effective dieting, it’s a good choice to eat breakfastrather than dinner.5. The best way to recover from a bad night’s sleep is simply to resume your normal cycle. (Para. 17)The best way to recover from a bad night’s sleep is not to have more sleep in order to make up for the lost sleep, but to go on with your normal sleep-wake cycle, i.e. to go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning, even on weekends.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Put down the right word from Text B in the space provided according to the given definition.

AIDS is the third leading killer of young adult Americans today. Worldwide, 40 million, 60 million, or a hundred million infections will be counted in the coming few years.3) Why does Fisher say that AIDS virus is not a political creature?Because it has nothing to do with politics. It does not care whether you are a Democrat or Republican; it attacks people regardless of race, sex or age; it does not ask whether you are gay or straight.4) Why has the AIDS virus spread so widely?Because we have helped it spread with our ignorance, prejudice and silence.5) Why shouldn’t AIDS patients be treated cruelly?Because they are human. Each of them is a person. They are not evil and have not earned cruelty. They do not deserve meanness. They don’t be nefit frombeing isolated or treated as outcasts. They long for our pity and they are worthy of our compassion and support.6) How have Fisher’s family members reacted to her being infected with HIV? Instead of practicing prejudice against her, they have rendered strong support to her. Her parents and her brother have shown concern for her consistently. They have always encouraged her and have helped her pull through the hardest moments in her struggle against the disease.7) What does Mary Fisher call on her listeners to do?She calls on the whole nation to be aware of AIDS. She calls on the HIV positive to have the courage to fight it out. She calls on the healthy people to set aside prejudice and show compassion and support for AIDS patients.2 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1) I have come tonight to bring our silence to an end. (Para.1)To act on the proposal I made, I have to break the silence myself tonight. It is time to speak out the truth about the deadly disease — AIDS.2) Tonight, I represent an AIDS community whose members came reluctantly from every segment of American society. (Para.5)AIDS has become so widespread that those who have been infected come from every part of society.3) Are you human? And this is the right question: Are you human? (Para. 7) This question reveals the essence of the AIDS issue: Since AIDS poses a threat to humankind, every one of us, irrespective of race, age or sex, may contract HIV and become a victim of AIDS for the simplest reason that we are all human.4) Because people with HIV have not entered some alien state of being. (Para. 7)Because people with HIV have not turned into some strange kind of creature that is totally different from us. They are just as human as anyone else. We have no reason to practice prejudice against them.5) Then their children, and yours, may not need to whisper it at all. (Para. 15) Then the future generations will face the problem in an honest and frank manner. Only in this way can they dealwith the disease effectively and make the world safe and free from this deadly disease.Optional Classroom ActivitiesThe two tables below illustrate respectively the leading causes of death worldwide in 2002 (Table 1) and the leading causes of death among 15 to 59-year-olds worldwide (Table 2) in the same year. Work in small groups and study the tables carefully, and then do the following two tasks:1) Compare the two tables and find out in Table 2a. What new causes of death are added?New causes of death added in Table 2 are: suicide, violence and liver cancer.b. What causes move up in ranking?Causes that move up in ranking in T able 2 are: HIV / AIDS, road accidents and tuberculosis.Suggestions for this activity:Since students will have no difficulty in finding out the answers to the questions in Task 1, this activity should focus on Task 2. In fact, no professional knowledge is required for a fruitful discussion. Students are encouraged to share their existing knowledge and pool their ideas. If time permits, ask some students to give presentations to the whole class.2) Discuss what might have caused the above differences.Table 2 shows an increase in the ranking of deaths due to HIV / AIDS, tuberculosis, road accidents, suicide, violence and liver cancer among people in the 15–59 age bracket, compared to their rankings in all age groups.Teenagers (13–19 year olds) and young people tend to be more passionate, emotional and adventurous. So they may love taking risks: breaking traffic laws, taking drugs, being loose withsexual relationships. And they may easily feel frustrated with failures in their study or relationships.Hence more deaths resulting from road accidents, violence, HIV / AIDS, and suicide.People in their thirties and forties are generally under great pressure from their work and family burdens. The pressure may continue to be a threat to their health before they reach 60.Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Unit 5Part I Listening TaskScript for the recording:"Go ahead. Play. Let me see you run!" Mimi (my Aunt Mary) cheered us on. I was seven or eight years old, playing with my cousins in the back yard of my grandmother's house. Mimi was probably 30-something at the time and in her wheelchair, where she'd been since a spinal disease struck at age thirteen.She loved to see us run and play. Occasionally, when she was out of her chair, we'd ask if we could sit in it and wheel ourselves around. She always said, "No, use your legs! Be happy you can walk and run. Go ahead, let me see you."She knew we were blessed, and we learned from her to appreciate the gifts we took for granted. Mimi knew she was blessed, too —with love, with family, and in particular with a mother and father who made sure she was cared for and lived a full life, when her doctors said she would not. Mimi lived a spirit of gratitude and shared it.I'm thankful to have had wonderful role models growing up, people like Mimi, who taught gratitude by being grateful.Listening Practice1) cheered us on 2) cousins3) wheelchair 4) struck5) Occasionally 6) wheel ourselves around7) took for granted 8) she was cared for and lived a full life9) gratitude 10) wonderful role modelsAfter Listening1. being grateful / thankful (for what she had)2. gratitude / grateful; don’tPart II Reading TaskComprehensionPossible answers to content questions:1.

Looking out over the ocean I find myself thinking about how much I owe to you. Yet I have never got round to telling you just how thankful I feel towards you for all you have done for me. There are so many things, I don't know where to start and would never get to the end once I begin. But if I had to pick just one thing it would perhaps be the love of books and reading I learnt from you. Those after-dinner quizzes at the table about the books we had just read and the new words we had picked up, I can see them in my mind's eye as if it were yesterday. Not many are as lucky in their father as I am. So, simply, thank you.Your loving son,AlexDear Rev. Nelson,I am writing this on board my ship. It is Thanksgiving. My thoughts have been turning to all those who have done so much for me in the past and how I have never taken the time to thank them properly. Naturally, you were among the first to come to mind. You were, quite simply, the very best teacher a child could wish for. You gave us so many different gifts, but, if I were forced to choose one, then it would be your morning prayers at assembly at the start of each day. Whatever positive things I have done since can often be traced to the impression left by thoseprayers. For that guidance and all the other things I was lucky enough to learn from you, I shall always be in your debt.Your affectionate student,Alex HaleyDear Grandma,Here I am, on board my ship, and a thousand miles away from your wonderful cooking on Thanksgiving! Standing here at the rail, looking out at the sunset, I've been turning the meaning of Thanksgiving around in my mind and come up with the idea that it is just the time to be giving thanks to those we owe them to. And who better to start with than you? How could I have grown up without your help? You always found just the right way of showing me with those wonderful stories of yours the importance of telling the truth, of sharing and forgiving, of being considerate of others. Quite simply, you sprinkled my life with stardust. Thank you.Love,Alex。

He told me that next week is Deaf Awareness Week and that we would be discussing it in class. He's already planned several activities and lectures, but, for obvious reasons, he also wanted me to make a class presentation.I stared at him in disbelief. How could I possibly make a presentation to the entire class? I was petrified. I didn't want to do it, and I told him so. He was determined, though. He really thought it would be a good opportunity for me to share my "culture" (his word) with my classmates. That got me thinking. Do I have a unique culture? I've never thought about it like that before.I went straight to the library to do some research. What makes different cultures recognizable and distinct? I know that language is what distinguishes so many cultures. I may be deaf but I still understand English. Yet, I do utilize a form of English that not everyone can understand—American Sign Language, or ASL. Once I realized that, I immediately looked for books about ASL so I could learn more.Soon after Thomas Gallaudet graduated from Yale University, he was commissioned to help teach Alice Cogswell, the deaf daughter of a wealthy local doctor. Gallaudet travelled to Europe, where deaf education had been in existence for a long time, to study communication among deaf people. He met Laurent Clerc in Paris, recruited him to help develop deaf education in the United States, and, in 1817, thetwo founded the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut.Laurent Clerc began teaching American students the form of French Sign Language with which he was familiar. However, many of the students at the new school were already using their own unique form of sign language that had independently developed in their communities. Over time, and with extensive use, the various forms eventually evolved into what we now know as American Sign Language.Sign language is almost exclusively based on easily decipherable hand motions that represent spoken words. Since deaf people rely heavily on their sense of sight, this method of communication is logical. Body language is extremely important in ASL, and subtle movements of the eyebrows, mouth, or fingers often indicate connotations that are typically represented by tone of voice in spoken language.Interestingly, there is still no universal form of sign language that is readily understood by deaf people around the world. Indeed, though people in the United States and Great Britain speak English, American Sign Language and British Sign Language are distinctly different and "speakers" of each form would not be able to easily communicate with one another.You know what? I'm not so scared to make this presentation to my class next week. In fact, I'm actually looking forward to it. Maybe I'll even inspire some of my classmates to learn ASL! That would be great. I guess Mr Jenkins was right. I do have a special culture to share. American Sign Language is like a different language, and understanding that language is essential to understanding me and my culture.41. The writer of this passage is unable to _____.A. seeB. hearC. smellD. walk42. Even though this passage is in the form of a diary entry, the material is _____.A. entertainingB. persuasiveC. informativeD. fictitious43.

Which of the following events occurred in 1817?A. Thomas Gallaudet graduated form Yale University.B. Thomas Gallaudet met Laurent Clerc in Paris.C. Thomas Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc founded the American School for the Deaf.D. Laurent Clerc developed American Sign Language.45. According to the writer, all of the following are important to sign language EXCEPT_____.A. the ability to readB. hand motionsC. sense of sightD. body language。

The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and many of the specific things his father did on his behalf. George's father used to impress on him the need to undergo all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence. He also taught him that nothing in the world could be taken for granted.

综英第3册u n i t5练习答案Unit 5Text ComprehensionI. CII. TTTFFIII. 1. Refer to Para.2-5. Professor DePaulo’s study suggests that lying is a common phenomenon and most of the lies we tell are small and insignificant. Meanwhile, as she points out, it is common that people take lies lightly: their lies have caused them little preoccupation or regret.2. Refer to Para.3. According to the passage, the purpose of telling lies or white lies varies: women tell lies according to the principle of caring, or to spare other’s feelings, and men tell lies basically for utilitarian self-promoting purposes.3. Refer to Para.7-10. The story of Tom supports the argument that little white lies are ubiquitous, and people have taken such lies for granted, believing that they are well-intended. When he consulted with Michael Josephson, the reply is very negative: his mother-in-;aw may feel hurt when she discovers the deceit some day. Or even worse, she may question: “And what else have you lied to me about?” In short, such white lies may produce mistrust among people.4. Refer to Para.12-15. The consequences of lying are three-fold: the deceived may feel cheated and won’t trust the liar any more; the liar will lose trust and get entangled in the lies he fabricates; and, if lies proliferate endlessly, society as a whole would falter and collapse as trust is damaged or destroyed.5. Refer to Para.16. Not all white lies are unacceptable. Some falsehoods like setting somebody up for a surprise party or telling children about the tooth fairy can be justified. However, you have to consider the attitude of the deceived towards lying and the consequences, i.e. whether your act will undermine his trust in you.IV.1. When we start to tell a lie, we have entered a very intricate situation, as a lie often requires other lies until the whole structure of lies becomes so complex that it ensnares the liar.2. One is less inhibited from lying; his ability to make moral right and wrong judgments is dulled, and he may become less cautious against being caught.3. The most understandable and acceptable lies are those which are told for the sakeof love and care at the expense of trust, according to the ethicists.Vocabulary (Pp. 83-84)I. 1. earth-shattering→ very important/shocking/traumatic2. spare the other’s feelings→ avoid hurting the other’s feelings/ avoid doing something that would upset the other person3. shaping or spinning the truth →telling the truth with a favorable emphasis or slant/modifying the truth4. a slippery slope→a course of action which can easily lead to something unacceptable, wrong, or disastrous5. at all costs/ at any cost→under any circumstances/ whatever might happen II. 1. supportive 2. perceived 3. prevarication 4. astounded5. undermine6. faltered7. fibs8. volunteeredIII.
