Lesson 1Vocabulary1. Manhood:the state of being human2. White lie:harmless or trivial lie，esp．one told in order to avoid hurting sb．3. black sheep：person regarded as a disgrace or a failure by other members of his family or group4. To upset: to defeat5. Affirmation:stating sth．as truth firmly and forcefully6. To strain: to make the greatest possible effort7. Off base: mistaken8. (a) want (of) : lack of9. Ringing cry: rallying callParagraph1. The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy.It is no easy job to educate a people who have been told over centuries that they were inferior and of no importance to see that they are humans, the same as any other people.2. Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery.If you break the mental shackles imposed on you by white supremacists, if you really respect yourself, thinking that you are a Man, equal to anyone else, you will be able to take part in the struggle against racial discrimination.3. The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation.The liberation of mind can only be achieved by the Negro himself/herself. Only when a negro is fully convinced that he/she is a Man/Woman and is not inferior to anyone else, can he/she throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and become free.4. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.Power in its best form of function is the carrying out of the demands of justice with love and justice in the best form of function is the overcoming of everything standing in the way of love with power.5. At that time economic status was considered the measure of the individual’s ability and talents.At that time, the way to evaluate how capable and resourceful a person was to see how much money he had made (or how wealthy he was).6. …the absence of worldly goods indicated a want of industrious habits and moral fiber.A person was poor because he was lazy and not hard-working and lacked a sense of right and wrong.7. It is not the work of slaves driven to their tasks either by the task, by the taskmaster, or by animal necessity.This kind of work cannot be done by slaves who work because the work has to be done, becausethey are forced to work by slave-drivers or because they need to work in order to be fed and clothed.8. …when the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated.…when the unfair practice of judhing human value by the amount of money a person has irs done away with.9. He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality.Those who harbor hate in their hearts cannot grasp the teachings of God. Only those who have love can enjoy the ultimate happiness in Heaven.10. Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have a high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds.Let us be dissatisfied until America no longer only talk about racial equality but is unwilling or reluctant to take action to end such evil practice as racial discrimination.Translation1. A white lie is better than a black lie.一个无关紧要的谎言总比一个恶意的谎言要好。

learn from you failure instead of holding a negative view about yourself or identifying with failure, you are very likely to succeed in the future. have you ever thought that those who have failed again and again are always the victims of bad self-image? they failed often because of not external reasons but internal reasons. countless examples verify that if those people could be prevailed on to change their view and set up positive self-image, their performance would change miraculously. success can come at any time, whenever you are thirty, forty or when it seems that you have failed all your life. success in early years is sweet, but the late one is more tasty.第四课vocabulary work 一1． blessing 2． borders 3． childish 4． desperation5． mercy 6． signature 7． steadily 8． stand out 9． came

It is said that the 661 large and medium-sized cities nationwide, about two-thirds are suffering from acute shortage of water. Beijing is a good example in point. It not only lacks surface water, even its underground water is dangerously low. It is reported to have dropped by 90 meters.Some scholars suggest we move our capital to some other place. This is of course unfeasible/ unrealistic, but the message is clear.3.Our water resources first of all are not evenly distributed intime or space. They are either too much, causing floods, or too little, causing droughts.4.In spite of the impressive progress we have achieved in thepast years, we are still far from effectively harnessing our rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Soil erosion and desertification are increasingly threatening our economy and people’s life.Many of our rivers no longer flow to the sea. In 1998, the Yellow River failed to have enough water to flow to the sea for 212 days.5.Traditionally, our water resources have mainly been used toirrigate land but, in recent years, demands on water for industrial and domestic use have also been sharply on the rise.They have seriously outgrown supplies.6.Today our scarce water resources are becoming even scarcerbecause a lot of water is being wasted on capacious power showers, flush lavatories, and golf rinks. Moreover, a lot of water being polluted.7.These two rivers both have their headwater in the country. Ittherefore makes water an issue for potential serious dispute between the two countries.8.In recent years, we have pinned great hopes on the projects todivert water from the south to the north, hopping that it will once and for all solve our flood problem in the south and the drought problem in the north. But there are scholars whose opinions differ. They warn us that immunity of the Yangtze to droughts cannot be taken for granted.1 with better medical care, my grandfather could have lived to eighty.2 even at a gunpoint I wouldn’t renounce my beliefs.3 Further delay would cause us even greater loss.4.

The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy.It is no easy job to educate a people who have been told over centuries that they were inferior and of no importance to see that they are humans, the same as any other people.2. Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery.If you break the mental shackles imposed on you by white supremacists, if you really respect yourself, thinking that you are a Man, equal to anyone else, you will be able to take part in the struggle against racial discrimination.3. The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink ofassertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation.The liberation of mind can only be achieved by the Negro himself/herself. Only when a negro is fully convinced that he/she is a Man/Woman and is not inferior to anyone else, can he/she throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and become free.4. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.Power in its best form of function is the carrying out of the demands of justice with love and justice in the best form of function is the overcoming of everything standing in the way of love with power.5.

He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality.Those who harbor hate in their hearts cannot grasp the teachings of God. Only those who have love can enjoy the ultimate happiness in Heaven.10. Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have a high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds.Let us be dissatisfied until America no longer only talk about racial equality but is unwilling or reluctant to take action to end such evil practice as racial discrimination.Translation1.
