Human brings live in the realm of nature. They are not only dwellers in nature, but also transformers of it. With the development of society and its economy, people tend to become less dependent on nature directly, but indirectly their dependence grows. Human beings are connected with nature by "blood" ties. No one can live outside nature. However, the previous dynamic balance between man and nature has shown signs of breaking down. Problems such as the population explosion, ecological imbalance and the shortage of natural resources have become major factors keeping human society from being further developed. Professor Spirkin holds that the only choice for human beings is the wise organization of productionSample essay: My Understanding of Environmental ProtectionMan and the environment are closely related. Man relies on the environment for water, food and shelter. A harmonious relationship between man and environment is essential for human survival on the earth.However, man and the environment have never b een on such bad terms as they are now. As society develops, man’s transformation of nature has severely polluted his living environment. Deforestation leads to changes in rainfall patterns, causing devastating floods, droughts and sandstorms. The discharge of chemical pollutants endangers our health and the lives of other beings. And mass production has resulted in the shortage of irreplaceable natural resources such as coal and oil. If we take no immediate and effective steps to protect our environment, human beings may be the next species to become extinct.We should do our best to protect our environment by planting more trees, taking care of wildlife, reducing industrial wastes, using renewable energy, and imposing heavy fines on environmentally-unfriendly activities, so as to preserve the environment for future generations.Book 4 Unit 2 Man and TechnologyP48 1. 1) monitor 2) phenomenon 3) isolation 4) gradual 5) opponent 6) advent7) genetic 8) consciously 9) extreme 10) nasty 11) boom 12) formal13) soar 14) survey 15) Similarly 16) modify 17) roughP49 2. 1) at the same time 2) are stuck with 3) for certain 4) make no difference 5) on average6) when it comes to 7) depends on 8) built into 9) come to mind 10) at workP49 1. 1) technological technology 2) eternal eternity 3) miraculous miracle 4) relevant relevance5) analytical analysis 6) luxurious luxury 7) leisurely leisure 8) subjective subject9) prosperous prosperity 10) innovative innovationP50 2. 1)multi-cultural 2) multi-faith 3) multiform 4) multifunction 5) multi-ethnic6) multilateral 7) multi-lingual 8) multimedia 9) multimillionaire 10) multinational1) a multi-faith society 2) a multi-lingual secretary 3) a multimillionaire4) a multinational motor-manufacturing corporation 5) a multifunction video camera6) a multi-ethnic community 7) a multimedia dictionary 8) multi-cultural education9) a multilateral trade negotiation 10) multiform technological cooperation3. 1) j 2) c 3) b 4) i 5) a 6) g 7) d 8) e 9) f 10) hP51 4. 1) creative creativity 2) cruel cruelty 3) equal equality 4) local locality 5) major majority6) minor minority 7) original originality 8) pure purity 9) regular regularity 10) superior superiority2) They would probably allow you to do the job if you were in better health.3) They wouldn’t work with such enthusiasm if they didn’t know what they were working for.4) I would have to look it up in the dictionary if I didn’t know the meaning of the word.5) She would understand what we say if she knew Chinese.6) I would be quite satisfied if you spoke with greater accuracy.P53 2. 1) If we knew where he was, we would try to get in touch with him.2) If it were not for the expense involved, we would go there by plane.3) If we were to miss the train, we would have to wait another four hours.4) If we pooled all our resources, we would have enough money to buy the equipment.1) emphasize 2) opposite 3) improved 4) luxuries 5) benefited6) obviously 7) consciously 8) fractures 9) eternal 10) groundbreakingP54 1. 1) He really knows a lot about theory, but when it comes to actual work, he seems to be quite ignorant.2) The latest survey shows / showed that the majority of the citizens support / supported the government’s plan to build a ne w library.3) The two countries could reach agreement successfully on scientific and technological cooperation because several factors favorable to their cooperation had been at work.4) I saw the film when I was in the primary school, but the title just won’t come to mind for the moment.5) He has been stuck with heavy debt though he works about twelve hours every day on average.6) Is it necessary to know his height?

With the development of science and technology, people’s standard of livi ng is getting higher and higher. People’s life expectancy has soared, too.However, oddly enough, many people do not feel happier than they used to be. It can be seen that there is no close correlation between people’s income and their happiness. Happiness cannot, after all, be bought with money.Although the majority of people are not very satisfied with their lives, they are happy to be alive, and the more time they get on earth, the better off they feel they’ll be. What is important is that material weal th is far from enough. People needAmong the many technological inventions, the mobile phone impresses me most.The mobile phone brings considerable convenience to our lives. It not only enables us to keep in touch with each other almost anytime and anywhere but also helps us solve problems or do business efficiently. In emergencies, a mobile phone can even be a life-saver. Besides, its multi-functions add ease and color to our lives. With a mobile phone, we can receive mail, read news, listen to music, play games, and take pictures.Yet, the mobile phone has its disadvantages, too. Most of us have experienced the nuisance of unwanted or wrong calls. We are inconvenienced by calls on occasions when we least expect one. Besides, the technology infrastructure to support mobile communication has consumed valuable natural resources and caused significant environmental problems. It is reported that electromagnetic radiation waves from the phone may result in health problems.Despite its negative side, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh its disadvantages. I believe that with advances in science and technology, improved and safer models of mobile phones will surely serve us still better.Book 4 Unit 3 Knowledge and knowledge transferP75 1. d g e f b a h c9) predict 10) inevitably 11) absorbed 12) sheer 13) refining 14) paralyzed 15) exchangeP80 2. 1) In a way 2) act on 3) to such an extent that 4) opens up 5) close off 6) look intoP81 1. fax-facsimile fridge-refrigerator auto-automobile memo-memorandumburger-hamburger poli-sci - political science demo-demonstration sub-substitute; submarineflu-influenza zoo -zoological garden2.

We all know that knowledge is power but we are seldom aware of how difficult knowledge transfer is. According to Victoria Griffith, there are many barriers to knowledge transfer and lack of trust is one of the major ones.It seems to her that people are only to absorb knowledge readily from those they know and trust. For example, in the early 17th century, Galileo argued that the earth and other planets move around the sun, but this knowledge was rejected by the general populations at that time because the Italian over three hundred years ago trusted the Roman Catholic Church more than they trusted science. What was worse, Galileo had to spend the rest of his life under house arrest for his ideas.Knowledge transfer is a human phenomenon and plays a very important role in the process of human evolution. With the knowledge accumulated over generations, human beings can now build and transform societies with unprecedented knowledge resources.However, there are many barriers to knowledge transfer. For example, lack of trust and resistance to change undermine the transfer of knowledge. People are less likely to acquire knowledge from those whom they don’t trust or to adopt new theories and practices they are not familiar with. Cultural and language barriers also hamper the transfer of knowledge between nations or ethnic groups. It would be almost impossible for people who speak different languages or dialects with different cultural backgrounds to communicate effecitvely, not to mention exchanging knowledge.An underdeveloped economy is another barrier to knowledge transfer. The lack of socio-economic and techno-environmental cooperation, as well as poor communications infrastructure, can greatly hinder the flow of knowledge within and between nations.To remove these barriers, people should change their attitude towards knowledge transfer and the learning of foreign languages and cultures. At the same time, efforts should be made to develop a better world economy.Book 4 Unit 4 Work and careerP107 1. 1) mass 2) gambled 3) voluntary 4) hunted 5) classified 6) abolished 7) division 8) senseless 9) fashions10)coordination 11) declarations 12) spanned 13)recommends/recommended14)moderately 15) slightestP109 2. 1) stands/stood a chance 2) ruled out 3) worthy of 4) gone through 5) in the strict sense6) At a guess 7) earns a living 8) coincide with 9) gone in for 10) got their teeth intoP109 planetary congratulatory祝贺的；contradictory⽭盾的，对⽴的；customary通常的，习惯的，惯例的；documentary公⽂的，⽂件的；explanatory解释的；说明的；imaginary想象中的，虚构的；introductory介绍的，导⾔的；legendary传说（中）的，传奇的；migratory迁徙的，移居的；visionary有远见的；不实际的P110 1) imaginary 2) congratulatory 3) Migratory 4)documentary5) legendary 6) introductory 7) contradictory 8) explanatoryP111 2. 1) vocation 2) posts 3) trade 4) job 5) work 6) profession 7)career 8) positionP112 1. 1) I don’t remember having borrowed/ borrowing anything from you.2) She’ll stay here for a couple of weeks before going on to New York.3) The prospect of Profesor Smith’s coming to see us cheered us all.4) Jim, a man of strong character, naturally didn’t give in.5) Arriving at the school gate, ha found his classmates had already assembled.2. 1) He was afraid of falling behind the others..2) We were all amused at Henr y’s running after the dog in his slippers.3) Have they informed you of the change in the plan ?4) We’re grateful to you for having given us so much help.post of general manager of the company.2) She is very satisfied with her new job as it coincides with her interests.3) I bought this shirt because the price was reduced from 300 yuan to 80 yuan.4) To bring her children up, the mother really went through all kinds of hardships.5) The police have ruled out murder in the case of the old lady’s death.6) The municipal government promised to take effective steps as soon as possible to solve the problems of air pollution.7) I did not go in for the Campus Tennis Championships held last month because of my injured leg.8) If you can get the support of the majority of the girls, you stand a good chance of winning the election and becoming Chairman of the Students Union.9) Not all the books he wrote were as successful as this one so I recommend that you borrow it from the library and read it.10) At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games Liu Xiang won the championship of the men’s 110-meter hurdles and broke the world record, which had been previously held by an American athlete.P115 2. Some people think that they’ve fulfilled their tasks as long as they go on duty and come off duty on time. They never think about what is meant by “work” and why they should work at all. In fact, “work” involves such qualities as wisdom, enthusiam, imagination and creativity.To do his work well, a worker must have a spirit of dedication, and be capable of bearing hardships and standing hard work. In addition, he should have initiative and creativity. Having initiative means the worker should be ready to grasp every opportunity to display his outstanding ability.In addition, a worker should make clear the nature and significance of the work he does, be responsible for whatever he is doing and plunge himself into the work with vigorous enthusiasm. If he can do so, he willl find a job no longer a burden but an indispensable part of his life. Whatever he does, he can always find values and pleasure in the work and achieve extraordinaryWhen it comes to the choice of career different people consider the matter from different perspectives. Personally I prefer to be a teacher.I have three reasons for my decision. The first reason is that the profession of teaching is in agreement with my personality. Being an outgoing, patient and understanding person, I think I am able to communicate with my students and understand their feelings easily, which constitutes an important factor in ensuring success in teaching. The second reason is that I am interested in the job. It would always give me great joy and satisfaction to see the happy faces of my students, to share my knowledge and life experience with them and to participate in their process of growing up. The third reason is related to my occupational attitude. I always believe that school teachers all over the world are respected for their profound knowledge and higher social status. I have always held my teachers in respect and I hope I would be respected as a teacher, too, in the future.I think teaching is an ideal career for me. Being a university student now, I will work hard to realize my dream.Practice Test 1 Listening script on Page 275Keys on the textbook Page 279Book 4 Unit 5 Fame and Success8) publicity 9) sufficiently 10) sympathy 11) target 12) educate 13) commerce 14) alike15) bored 16) audiences 17) regard 18) assureP158 2. 1) thrown out 2) and so on 3) for dear life 4) dedicate himself to5) was tired of 6) turn away 7) hang on 8) for the sake ofP159 1. automate—automation housekeep—housekeeperbabysit— babysitter mass-produce — mass-productionbook-keep — book-keeping self-destruct — self-destructiondry-clean — dry-cleaning window-shop — window-shoppingedit— editor wordprocess— wordprocessorP159 2. 1) reached / secured 2) achieved / attained 3) attained / reached4) reach / secure 5) achieved / realized / fulfilled 6) fulfill / meet / satisfyP160 3. 1) dull 2) competitive 3) same 4) momentary 5) specificP160 1. 1) (real) subject 2) object to the verb “make”3) predicate 4) a ttribute modifying “opportunity”5) object complement 6) adverbial of purpose 7) adverbial of result 8) predicative9) attribute modifying “person”10) independent element2. 1) To become a famous writer 2) to take traveler’s checks3) to employ a young engineer4) take the machine apart 5) To understand the situation completely 6) to rise higher in position7) to find that the train had left 10 minutes before 8) to apply for a known job opening2) The president has announced that he will not seek re-election at the end of his first term.3) The young teacher is skilled at motivating his students to study hard.4) She loves giving parties and does os whenever she can find an excuse.5) I’m afraid that you’ll have to compete with at least fifty people for an administrative post in this company.6) To be frank, I don’t think you stand a good chance of getting promoted even i f you are loyal to the company.7) It was obvious that his speech aroused the sympathy of the audience for the victims of the earthquake.8) Though he has repeatedly assured me of his ability to promote our company’s products, I’ll give him another intervi ew before hiring him.9) The company’s investment ended in failure due to the wrong strategic decisions of the general manager and so the board of directors decided to throw him out.10) I know you are tired but try to hang on a little bit longer.

But, after all, very few people can really become famous while most people, including most artists, are unlikely to become famous.It is true that some failure for some people at certain times in their lives does motivate them to strive even harder so as to achieve final success. For example, Thomas Edison, the famous American inventor, had tried hundreds of materials before he finally found the suitable fuse for the electric bulb. However, unfortunately, for most people failure is the end of their struggle.Therefore, in my opinion, success is one thing and fame is an other. As long as you have tried your best, you’re alreadySample essay: Fame — Good or EvilFame has always been pursued by many people for the advantages it brings about. Fame can assure one of a high social status, high regard, great admiration, etc. Fame can also bring one wealth as a celebrity has more chances to earn big money. Besides, the applauses and flowers from the fans may boost one's self-confidence and increase one's sense of fulfillment.However, fame can ruin one's life, too. It deprives one of his privacy. As a public figure, he is often chased by fans and journalists, and his private life never escapes the media's attention or public curiosity. Fame also places one under great pressure. He has to work in line with public expectations and thus becomes the slave of his own success.So fame is a double-edged sword. I don't seek fame and I don't envy those who are famous. I highly appreciate what the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow says about fame: "The talent of success is nothing more than doing well whatever you do without a thought of fame".Book 4 Unit 6 Attitudes to LifeP187 1. 1) commonplace 2)enduring 3)dim 4)command 5)imperfection 6)intensive 7)abandon 8)finite9)mean 10)weaving 11)additional 12)aspiration 13)gratitude 14)endless 15)faithful 16)committedP188 2. 1) live on 2)dawned upon 3)live by 4)is invested with 5)hold fast to6)all too 7)step aside 8)set out 9)to and fro 10)work atP189 1.alternative comparative creative defensive constructive effective explosive impressive initiative relative1) take effective measures 2) a new kind of explosive 3) the only alternative 4) defensive weapons5) an impressive speech 6) a comparative study of Chinese and western cultures 7) take the initiative to donate blood8) a creative musician 9) a distant relative 10) a constructive proposal2. additional—add pleasant—please beautiful—beautify prosperous—prospercontradictory—contradict radiant—radiant deaf—deafen relentless—relentdifferent—differ respectful—respect intensive—intensify sparkling—sparkleminimal—minimize wonderful—wonder opposite—oppose withered—wither3. 1) provide care (for); receive care; take care; take care of2) give sb.

What is truth? Truth is the correct reflection of people’s knowledge about the objective world and its laws. Truth makes people full of hope and life full of brilliance and glory. Therefore, many people regard the pursuit of truth as the ultimate goal of their lives to the truth and make understanding contributions to mankind.Truth is both absolute and relative. We say that truth is absolute because truth can objectively reflect the essential of things. However, any truth is but people’s correct understanding of the development of things at a certain stage. Therefore, truth is relative and develops constantly.Sometimes, the brilliance of truth may dim but it will never die out. For some people, truth may seem beyond their reach.People hold different attitudes towards life. Some take a positive attitude and they always appreciate the beauty of life with zeal and gratitude. Some take a negative attitude towards life and any slight trouble in life may seem like the end of the world to them.A positive attitude ensures a happy, successful and healthy life. With a positive attitude, people find it easy to accept challenges and overcome obstacles while maintaining peace of mind. Besides, a positive attitude boosts their self-esteem, lifts their morale and helps them fulfill their commitments both in their career and in their everyday life. Moreover, medical research shows that positive thinking can improve the immune system and strengthen the body's resistance to diseases. There are several ways to develop a positive attitude towards life. One needs to think positively, read uplifting stories, hang around with optimistic people, give up jealousy, and participate in meaningful activities. By building a positive attitude towards life, one can enjoy a happy, successful and healthy life.Book 4 Unit 7 Lifestyles10)simplified 11)trade 12)downsize 13)numerous fraction 15)plain 16)thereby 17)rollingP218 2. 1) keeps track of 2)it turned out that 3)strip down to 4)take an interest in 5)in return6)is all of a piece 7)for good 8)write out 9)eat out 10)look back 11)cut outP219 1. 1)autobiography 2)combine 3)counterattack 4)exclude 5)extracurricular6)interact 7)interrelate 8)recycle 9)refresh 10)transform2.

Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook FourUnit Eight: GlobalizationPart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇Work in pairs or groups and discuss the following questions.1. What do you know about globalization?2. What has globalization contributed to the world economy?3. What negative effects has globalization brought about?▇ Answers for reference:1. Globalization has been a commonly used term since the late twentieth century. It simply means that the world has become integrated economically, socially, politically and culturally through the advances in technology, transportation and communication. It is the collaboration of countries to boost trade, and to reduce cultural differences.2. Globalization has contributed to the world’s economy in many beneficial ways.First, the advances in science and technology have allowed businesses to cross over frontiers easily. Consequently, companies tend to become more productive and competitive, thus raising the quality of goods, services and living standards. Second, globalization provides companies with more and larger markets. They can sell more goods and make more money. Meanwhile, they can create more jobs. Last but not least, consumers can also benefit from globalization. As products become cheaper, they can get new goods more quickly and easily.3. Though globalization has a lot of advantages, it also produces some negative effects. First, globalization results in more unemployment in industrialized countries because many factories have moved to developing countries where they can get cheap labour. Second, it causes some environmental problems. As companies in the developed countries open their factories in developing countries, serious environmental problems have occurred in some developing countries. Last, the natural resources of some of the developing countries are being robbed of by some developed countries in the process of globalization.Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about globalization and discuss in pairs what you can learn from them.Jeffrey Sachs⊙Globalization was a deep trend pushed by technology and right ideas, as much as anything else.—Jeffrey SachsInterpretation:Everything has its law of development. The same is true of globalization. Driven by technology and right ideas, it has progressed rapidly and will develop in depth.About Jeffrey David Sachs (1954- ): an American economist and Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University. He is one of the youngest economics professors in the history of Harvard University. He is known for his work on the challenges of economic development, environmental sustainability, poverty alleviation, debt cancellation, and globalization.Robert Reich⊙Globalization and free trade do spur economic growth, and they lead to lower prices on many goods.—Robert ReichInterpretation:Stimulated by globalization and free trade, the world economy grows rapidly. At the same time, globalization and free trade have brought in fierce competition, and affordable prices have benefited consumers in a great way.About Robert Bernard Reich (1946- ): an American political economist, professor, author, and political commentator. He served in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter and was Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997.Jimmy Carter⊙If you are totally illiterate and living on $1 a day, the benefits of globalization never come to you.—Jimmy CarterInterpretation:Though globalization brings advantages to the world, it also brings about a great gap between the rich and the poor. There are still many people living below the poverty line, who cannot enjoy the fruits of globalization.About Jimmy Carter (1924- ): an American politician who served as the 39th President of the United States (1977–1981). He was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize.Larry Summers⊙In the developing world, far more people are poor because of too little globalization rather than too much.—Larry Summers Interpretation:People in many developing countries are still poor because they have not benefited from globalization.

It can be defined as the trend in the financial markets and businesses to expand beyond national and territorial borders and boundaries. It is a process through which the financial markets, societies and cultures have become interdependent and tend to merge, blurring the boundaries between the local, national,and international.It is a dynamic process primarily led by multi-national businesses and organizations. It can also be viewed as the freedom of movement for goods, services, and people across borders. It is a phenomenon caused by the latest developments in mass communication and the technologies that have been developed and continue to be developed to support this new and instant way of communicating between people and organizations.The increased ease of mobility has also greatly contributed to this unstoppable trend. There seems to be a disagreement on whether economic globalization is or not an irreversible current. What is certain is that this trend has substantial effects on the world’s economies.The Pros of globalization include:∙Global competition keeps prices low so inflation is less likely to occur.∙An open economy can encourage innovation as people can exchange ideas freely and instantaneously.∙There are more varied and international goods available for consumption everywhere.On the negative side:∙Small businesses have difficulty surviving in an unregulated market and usually get eaten up by larger competitors.∙As economies become interdependent, a crush in a country’s economy will affect other countries in a negative way.To sum up we must understand that there are some basic aspects to globalization:∙Internet allows us to be global in the way we exchange information.∙We are more mobile than ever, travel has become less expensive and people move all over the place and get to see and experience different cultures.∙Environmental problems affect us all, issues such as air pollution, acid rain, and climate go beyond national borders.∙Our economy is increasingly global as a result of mass communication and mass transportation.Part II Listen and RespondSection B Task One: Focusing on the Main Ideas▇Choose the best answer to each of the following questions according to the information contained in the listening passage.1) What does globalization mean according to the speaker?A) It means that the world is becoming more and more integrated.B) It means that the world’s living standards are greatly improved.C) It means that more opportunities are given to the developing countries.D) It means that the world is developing more and more rapidly.2) What benefits do companies get from globalization according to the speaker?A) They are allowed to do business in the developing countries.B) They become more productive and competitive by doing business overseas.C) Their products can reach any place they want through modern means of transportation.D) They can communicate with other companies more easily.3) How do people in developing countries benefit most from globalization?A) They can meet various people online.B) They can get better education by studying overseas.C) They can learn from people from other countries.D) They can study in their home universities.4) What new threats does globalization bring?A) The quick spread of perishable items.B) The quick spread of wildfire.C) The quick spread of disease.D) The quick spread of the labor-force.5) What is the speaker’s attitude towards globalization?A) Prejudiced.B) Negative.C) Subjective.D) Objective.▇ Key:1) A 2) B 3) B 4) C 5) DSection C Task Two: Zooming In on the Details▇Listen to the recording again and fill in each of the blanks according to what you have heard.Globalization has been a commonly used term since the late twentieth century. It simply means that the world has become integrated economically, socially, politically and culturally through the advances in technology, transportation and communication. It is undeniable that globalization has resulted in both positive and negative effects which must be addressed accordingly.To begin with, globalization has contributed to the world’s economies in many beneficial ways. Advances in science and technology have allowed businesses to easily cross over frontiers. Consequently, companies tend to become more productive and competitive thereby raising the quality of goods, services and the world’s living standard.Secondly, a very critical advantage is the spread of education. With numerous educational institutions around the globe, one can move out from the home country for better opportunities elsewhere. Thus, integrating with different cultures, meeting and learning from various people through the medium of education is all due to globalization. Developing countries or labour-intensive countries have benefited the most.Script:The Advantages and Disadvantages of GlobalizationGlobalization has been a commonly used term since the late twentieth century. It simply means that the world has become integrated economically, socially, politically and culturally through the advances in technology, transportation and communication. It is undeniable that globalization has resulted in both positive and negative effects which must be addressed accordingly.To begin with, globalization has contributed to the world’s economies in many beneficial ways. Advances in science and technology have allowed businesses to easily cross over frontiers.

Thus, integrating with different cultures, meeting and learning from various people through the medium of education is all due to globalization. Developing countries or labour-intensive countries have benefited the most.However, one cannot deny the negative effects resulting from globalization. Globalization has given rise to more health risks and threats of epidemics. A customary example is the dawn of HIV/AIDS. Having its origin in remote regions of Africa, the virus has spread like wildfire throughout the globe. Furthermore, food items are also transported to various countries, and this is a matter of concern, especially in the case of perishable items. The safety regulations and the standards of food preparation are different in different countries, which may pose a risk of potential health hazards.In conclusion, while globalization is inevitable, we must nevertheless urge individuals, companies and governments to use a more balanced approach by taking appropriate steps to deal with matters relating to the financial or economic gains versus the social, political and ecological concerns of the world.Part III Read and ExploreText ASection A Discovering the Main IdeasExercise 1: Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1. What is the speaker’s definition of an inclusive globalization?2. What does an inclusive globalization demand of us?3. In what ways can an inclusive globalization be promoted?4. What is the impact of the 11 September attacks on the process of globalization?5. What message does the speaker mean to convey?▇Answers for reference:1. According to the speaker, an inclusive globalization recognizes and exploits the potential of globalization as a truly integrating and inclusive force. Its purpose lies not only in opening markets but also in expanding opportunity and promoting cooperation. Its ultimate goal is to ensure that globalization benefits the whole of humanity economically, politically and socially.2. An inclusive globalization demands that we tear down the walls in our minds so as to treat each other equally and to recognize the interdependence between nations and peoples. It alsodemands that we open our minds to a new, more integrated idea of community.3. There are many different ways to promote an inclusive globalization: opening markets for the products of developing countries; increasing development assistance; promoting good and transparent governance; addressing diseases and environmental problems that have not reached our shores; recognizing obligations to provide asylum; fostering a more orderly process of integrating migrants; and valuing pluralism as a top priority for every state.4. The 11 September attacks make it very clear that humanity is indivisible and terrorism is a threat to everyone, and that the fight against terrorism can be successful only if people of different races, nations or regions get united as one. For this purpose, globalization must be made to benefit all — those at the margins and those at the centre, the poor and the privileged, the shackled and the free.5. The speaker urges us to deal with the negative, unattended social and political consequences of globalization, and the solution lies in promoting an inclusive globalization to ensure that globalization benefits the whole of humanity.Exercise 2: Text A can be divided into five parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Section B In-depth StudySome people benefit from globalization, while others simply see it as one more manifestation of the inequity of the world. Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, suggests that one way to address this issue is the pursuit of an inclusive globalization.A Plea for an “Inclusive” GlobalizationKofi Annan1 It has often been said that globalization is what distinguishes our era from all its predecessors. Globalization, we are told, is redefining not only the way we engage the world, but how we communicate with each other. Globalization is commonly understood to describe the increasing flow of goods, service, capital, technology, information, ideas and labour at the global level, driven by liberalization policies and technological changes. For a time, this logic was borne outby reality. Indeed, it worked so well that in many cases underlying schisms were ignored in the belief that the rising tide of material growth would eliminate the importance of political differences and social grievances.However, over the past few years, I and others have urged greater consideration for the potential political backlash if the social—as well as the economic—consequences of globalization are left unattended.2 Today, I would like to share some thoughts on an equally important aspect of globalization—namely its potential to be a truly integrating and inclusive force and the very real dangers if it fails to live up to that potential. In other words, just as we worry about the gap between haves and have-nots, we need to be equally concerned about the gulf between insiders and outsiders in a globalized world where no border is impermeable, and where the privileges—economic as well as political and social—of the few are painfully apparent to those multitudes who still yearn for liberty and opportunity. We need, in short, to direct our energies towards realizing the aspiration inherent in the awkward, but revealing Arabic translation of the word “globalization” —which means literally“world inclusivity”.3 Today, I wish to suggest that one way to address this new division—between those who benefit from globalization, and those who simply see it as one more manifestation of the inequity of the world—is to pursue an inclusive globalization whose purpose lies not only in opening markets but in expanding opportunity and promoting cooperation. By this I mean the need to ensure that the globalization of economies and societies is supported and sustained by a “globalization of community”—to create a wider, more expansive definition of our duties to our fellow men and women in the global village, and to ensure that globalization benefits them all—economically, politically and socially.4 Such a world demands that we tear down the walls in our own minds as well—those separating us from them, rich from poor, white from black, Christian from Muslim—so that we are able to recognize the untold ways in which we can all benefit from cooperation and solidarity across lines of nationality, race or economic development. Whether it is the area of crime, health, the environment, or the fight against terrorism, interdependence has ceased to be an abstract concept, and become a reality in our own lives. This poses a real challenge not only to political leaders, but to civil society, NGOs, business, labour unions, thinkers, and citizens of every nation. We need to rethink what belonging means, and what community means, in order to be able to embrace the fate of distant people and realize that globalization’s glass house must be open to all if it is to remain secure. This will require leaders in every sector to present the choices facing the public in a different light. They need to make the difficult but necessary case that we cannot continue to exclude the poor, the disenfranchised or those who are denied the basic right to liberty and self-determination. Or that if we do, we cannot at the same time hope to secure lasting peace and prosperity.5 There are myriad ways in which nations can act on this imperative—by opening markets for the products of developing countries; by increased development assistance; by promoting good and transparent governance; by addressing diseases and environmental problems that have not reached our shores, or at least not yet; by recognizing obligations to provide asylum; by fostering a more orderly process of integrating migrants; and by valuing pluralism as a top priority for every state.6 The United Nations itself was created in the belief that dialogue can triumph over discord, that diversity is a universal virtue, and that the peoples of the world are far more united by their common fate than they are divided by their separate identities. This dialogue must take place every day among all nations—within and between civilizations, cultures and groups. But it mustbe based on genuinely shared values. Without these values—values rooted in the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—no peace can be lasting and no prosperity secure. That is the lesson of the United Nations’ first half-century. It is a lesson that we ignored at our peril. While it may seem somewhat vague to speak of globalization based on shared values, the vision of the world it seeks to create is quite clear and quite specific.7 This vision is based on an understanding that we are the products of many cultures, that our strengths lie in combining the familiar with the foreign. This is not to say that we cannot rightly take pride in our particular faith or heritage. We can and we should. But the notion that what is ours is necessarily in conflict with what is theirs is both false and dangerous. It has resulted in endless hostilities and conflicts, leading men and women to commit the greatest of crimes in the name of a higher power.8 Friends, if today, after the horror of 11 September, we see better, and we see further—we will realize that humanity is indivisible. New threats make no distinction between races, nations or regions. A new insecurity has entered every mind, regardless of wealth or status. A deeper awareness of the bonds that bind us all—in pain as in prosperity—has gripped young and old. The process of globalization cannot remain unchanged in the face of this recognition. It must be made to benefit those at the margins as well as those at the center, the poor as well as the privileged, the shackled as well as the free.9 The global reaction to the 11 September attacks should give us courage and hope that we can succeed in this fight. The sight of people gathering in cities in every part of the world from every religion to mourn—and to express solidarity with the people of the United States—proved more eloquently than any words that terrorism is not an issue that divides humanity, but one that unites it.10 The victims of the attacks on 11 September were, first and foremost, the innocent civilians who lost their lives, and families who now grieve for them. But peace, tolerance, mutual respect, human rights, the role of law and the global economy are all among the casualties of the terrorists’acts. Repairing the damage done to the fabric of the international community—restoring trust among peoples and cultures—will not be easy. But just as a concerted international response can make the work of terrorists much harder to accomplish, so should the unity born of this tragedy bring all nations together in defense of the most basic right—the right of all peoples to live in peace and security.11 An inclusive globalization will be central to achieving this fundamental goal.▇课文参考译文呼吁推行“包容性”全球化科菲·安南1 人们常说，全球化是一个不同于以往任何时代的全新时代。

No wonder it is said that honesty is more precious than gold. It is a tie for people to maintain relationships of mutual trust, the cornerstone for the development and progress of human society.Honesty is the exterior expression of a citizen’s moral character, the crystallization of a variety of spiritual elements such as ethics, morality, ideology, culture, etc. To be honest and to keep one’s word, one must have a noble moral character. To perfect one’s morality and behavior, one must be honest and dependable, and always keep one’s promise. Only when honesty is cherished as every citizen’s basic moral principle can the harmony of families and the prosperity of the country be guaranteed.Sample EssayMy Understanding of Honesty and SuccessDifferent people have different opinions about the relationship between honesty and success. Some people believe that honesty ad success are mutually exclusive. They regard honesty as a wasteful and costly investment that will only hinder success and prevent people from quick wins. Money-making tricks such as low-quality and fake products, or practices like plagiarism and bribery are seen as short-cuts to immediate success.However, many people hold that honesty and success are mutually supportive. They believe that honesty is the only means to an end. Being honest will definitely earn a person not only a good reputation but also more opportunities to develop his or her career and ability. Honesty also helps cultivate an upright and healthy personality and brings people true pride and deep joy.I agree with the latter viewpoint. Honesty is a virtue that every one of us should value. It can bring out the best in a person and will give him or her the best reward in return. Those who are honest may suffer temporary losses sometimes, but they willbenefit in the long run. In short, only by being honest consistently and persistently can we gain true and lasting happiness. (193 words)。

It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.。

Unit One Text A Man in the Realm of NatureAlexander SpirkinHuman beings live in the realm of nature. They are constantly surrounded by it and interact with it. Man is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the food he eats. We are connected with nature by "blood" ties and we cannot live outside nature.Man is not only a dweller in nature, he also transforms it. Humanity converts nature's wealth into the means of the cultural, historical life of society. Man has subdued and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society. Not only has man transferred various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, he has also changed the shape and climate of his environment and transformed plants and animals.As society develops, man tends to become less dependent on nature directly, while indirectly his dependence grows. Our distant ancestors lived in fear of nature's destructive forces. Very often they were unable to obtain the merest daily necessities. However, despite their imperfect tools, they worked together stubbornly, collectively, and were able to attain results. Nature was also changed through interaction with man. Forests were destroyed and the area of farmland increased. Nature with its elemental forces was regarded as something hostile to man. The forest, for example, was something wild and frightening and people tried to force it to retreat. This was all done in the name of civilisation, which meant the places where man had made his home, where the earth was cultivated, where the forest had been cut down.But as time goes on mankind becomes increasingly concerned with the question of where and how to obtain irreplaceable natural resources for the needs of production. Science and man's practical transforming activities have made humanity aware of the enormous geological role played by the industrial transformation of the earth.At present the previous dynamic balance between man and nature and between nature and society as a whole, has shown ominous signs of breaking down. The problem of the so-called replaceable resources of the biosphere has become particularly acute. It is getting more and more difficult to satisfy the needs of human beings and society even for such a substance, for example, as fresh water. The problem of eliminating industrial waste is also becoming increasingly complex.Modern technology is distinguished by an ever increasing abundance of produced and used synthetic goods. Hundreds of thousands of synthetic materials are being made. People increasingly cover their bodies from head to foot in nylon and other synthetic, glittering fabrics that are obviously not good for them. Young people may hardly feel this, and they pay more attention to appearance than to health. But they become more aware of this harmful influence as they grow older.As time goes on the synthetic output of production turns into waste, and then substances that in their original form were not very toxic are transformed in the cycle of natural processes into aggressive agents. Today both natural scientists and philosophers are asking themselves the question: Is man's destruction of the biosphere inevitable?The man-nature relation – the crisis of the ecological situation – is a global problem. Its solution lies in rational and wise organization of both production itself and care for Mother Nature, not just by individuals, enterprises or countries, but by all humanity. One of the ways to deal with the crisis situation in the "man-nature" system is to use such resources as solar energy, the power of winds, the riches of the seas and oceans and other, as yet unknown natural forces of the universe.But to return to our theme, the bitter truth is that those human actions which violate the laws of nature, the harmony of the biosphere, threaten to bring disaster and this disaster may turn out to be universal. How apt then are the words of ancient Oriental wisdom: live closer to nature, my friends, and its eternal laws will protect you!人在自然界| 亚历山大·斯伯金人类生活在大自然的王国里。

Life is unpredictable. It often plays tricks on us and surprises us with unexpected endings. In this story, Mrs. Mallard reacted with sadness at the news of her husband's death in a train accident, and then locked herself up in her room, where she seemed to be waiting fearfully for something that she felt was coming to her. What was it?The Story of an HourKate Chopin(1)1)Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care wastaken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death.2)It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints thatrevealed in half concealing. Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed".He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to prevent any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message.3)She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with aparalyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.4)There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into thisshe sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.5)She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were allfull of the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song reached her faintly, and countless birds were singing.6)There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds thathad met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window.7)She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quitemotionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.8)She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines betrayed repression and evena certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze wasfixed on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.(2)9)There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. Whatwas it? She did not know; it was too subtle and vague to name. But she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air.10)Now her bosom rose and fell impulsively. She was beginning to recognize thisthing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will – as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been. 11)When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly partedlips. She said it over and over under her breath: "free, free, free!" The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the running blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.12)She did not stop to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her. Aclear and exalted perception enabled her to dismiss her husband's death as trivial.13)She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, tender handsfolded in death; the face that had never looked save with love upon her, fixed and gray and dead. But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.14)There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live forherself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination.15)And yet she had loved him – sometimes. Often she had not. What did it matter!What could love, the unsolved mystery, count for in face of this possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being!16)"Free! Body and soul free!" she kept whispering.17)Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhole,begging for admission. "Louise, open the door! I beg, open the door – you will make yourself ill. What are you doing Louise? For heaven's sake open the door."(3)18)"Go away. I am not making myself ill." No; she was drinking in a very elixir of lifethrough that open window.19)Her fancy was running riot along those days ahead of her. Spring days, andsummer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.20)She arose at length and opened the door. There was a feverish triumph in hereyes, and she carried herself like a goddess of Victory. She clasped her sister's waist, and together they descended the stairs. Richards stood waiting for them at the bottom.21)Someone was opening the front door with a key. It was Brently Mallard whoentered, a little travel-stained, carrying his briefcase and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one.He stood amazed at Josephine's piercing cry; at Richards' quick motion to screen him from the view of his wife.22)But Richards was too late.23)When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease – of joy that kills.。
