Unit 6 A World of MysteryThe Bermuda Triangle[1] On 5th December 1945, Flight 19, which consisted of five US Navy planes, took off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida in fine weather. There was a total of fourteen men on board the planes. The planes were in good condition; they had the best equipment on board including compasses and radios, and they also carried life rafts. The planes could float on water for ninety seconds. One and a half hours after the take-off, a radio message from one of the planes was heard at the control tower at Fort Lauderdale.[2] "I don't know where we are."[3] After that the planes could no longer speak to the control tower, but they could speak to and hear each other, and the control tower could hear them.[4] "The magnetic compass is going crazy."[5] "We're completely lost."[6] No other messages were heard after that. Nobody else heard from the planes or saw them again. Three hundred planes and many boats searched the area, but not one trace of Flight 19 was found. Then one of the planes that was sent to look for them also disappeared completely.[7] These planes had disappeared in a very mysterious part of the world in the western Atlantic Ocean where lots of strange events have taken place. The mystery started long before 1945, and since that year many other ships and planes have also disappeared in this area. It is called the Bermuda Triangle. It is a large, triangular area of the ocean with the island of Bermuda at its northern tip.[8] Planes and ships disappear in other parts of the world, but there are more disappearances in the Triangle than in other areas. For years now scientists and others have been puzzled by this mystery. There have been many attempts to explain why people, planes and ships disappear in such high numbers here .[9] One writer, John Spencer, believes that the ships and planes have been carried off from the sea and sky by flying saucers or UFOs from another planet. Since there are millions of other planets in the universe, Spencer believes there must be other intelligent creatures somewhere in the universe. These creatures are interested in collecting humans and their equipment so that they can examine them carefully.[10] Another theory is that the geography of the area is responsible for the disappearances of the ships and planes. Bermuda lies on an earthquake belt. Underwater earthquakes result in large waves appearing suddenly. These waves are so big that they can break a ship into pieces. In the air, a similar thing can happen to airplanes because ofsudden strong winds.[11] As with Flight 19, many boats and planes have reported that their magnetic compasses stop working properly in the Bermuda Triangle. Normally a magnetic compass points towards magnetic north . However, the Bermuda Triangle is one of the two places on Earth in which a compass points towards true north. Therefore, there is something strange about the magnetic properties of the area.[12] Many people have found these explanations difficult to believe. However, the most recent theory has a scientific basis and is more believable. The discovery of methane gas on the seafloor of the Bermuda Triangle started a scientist, Dr. Mclver, thinking about an explanation for the mysteries. Sometimes large amounts of the gas escape from the seafloor and rise into the air. This could produce large waves on the surface which would make a ship sink. When the gas mixes with air, it could also cause a ship's engine to stop or it could start a fire. Similarly, as the mixture rises into the air, it could cause an airplane's engine to stop or explode. The explosions would break a ship or a plane into tiny pieces.[13] This latest theory has yet to be proved but seems to offer a better explanation as to why Flight 19 and all the other planes, ships and people have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle.百慕大三角1 1945 年12 月5 日，佛罗里达州的劳德代尔堡，天气晴好，由5 架美国海军飞机组成的第19 飞行小队从这儿起飞。

Unit 6Text A翻译A Valentine Story爱情故事Doug Bell道格·贝尔1John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his Army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station.约翰·布兰查德从长凳上站起身来，整了整军装，留意着格兰德中央车站进出的人群。

2He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun twelve months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he soon found himself absorbed, not by the words of the book, but by the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind.他在寻找一位姑娘，一位佩带玫瑰的姑娘。

他知其心，但不知其貌。

十二个月前，在佛罗里达州的一个图书馆，他对她产生了兴趣。

他从书架上取下一本书，很快便被吸引住了，不是被书的内容，而是被铅笔写的眉批。

柔和的笔迹显示出其人多思善虑的心灵和富有洞察力的头脑。

3In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.在书的前页，他找到了前一位拥有人的姓名，霍利斯·梅奈尔小姐。

新编大学英语文化阅读教程1教师用书Unit 6Warm upStep 1 Brainstorming1. Friendship is the wine of life.– Edward Young 2. Close friends are truly life’s treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone.– Vincent Van Gogh 3. 独学而无友，则孤陋而寡闻。

——孔子Learning alone without exchanges with others will lead to ignorance.– Confucius 4. 劝君更尽一杯酒，西出阳关无故人。

——王维I invite you to drink a cup of wine again; West of the Sunny Pass no more friends will be seen.– Wang Wei Step 2 Sharing your ideasWhen I did group work with my classmates and shared my views, an American classmate often “doubted” my ideas, and sometimes even argued with me. This made me very embarrassed, feeling that she was hostile to me. I shared thisunhappy experience with my foreign teacher from Canada. He smiled and told me that being critical and sharing views directly is common in Western culture. Finally, I understood the critics were not due to hostility. From then on, I no longer felt discomfort with the doubts and arguments from my American classmate. Sometimes if I had sufficient reasons I would also discuss with her in a proper manner.Reading 1Language focus1. get rid of2. disposable3. residential4. severed5. reflective6. psychologist7. acquaintance8. mobile9. disruptive10. worn outGlobal understanding1)friendly relations2)acquaintance3)residential mobility4)get rid of5)disposable6)social circles7)‘worth’ maintaining8)lonely9)associativeDetailed understanding1. F2. F3. F4.T5. FCultural thinkingAnswer 1: Yes, I still keep in touch with a couple of my middle-school friends. I had n’t severed friendships deliberately when I was growing up, but some friendships faded away gradually and naturally. After we moved house, transferred to different schools, or were arranged to different classes, our lives became less and less interwoven. We both established new friendships and shared more time with new friends, thus eventually losing the connection with each other.Answer 2: No, I haven’t severed friendships. My friends and I are inseparable, because we spend a great deal of time hanging out and we go to school together. During my hard times, my friend would always come to my rescue and offer me advice and timely support. Besides, as one from a small city, I do n’t have many opportunities to meet new friends every now and then. Thus, I always cherish my friends who give me a lot of warmth and companionship.Reading 2Language focus1. stereotype2. hypothesis3. veil4. nightmare5. presence6.

F2. F3.T4. F5.T6.T7.T8. FCultural thinkingSame reasons: People from both cultures keep silent partly because they don’t want to judge others; instead, they pay respect to others’ behaviors.Different reasons: Compared with people in the West, people in the East tend to be more careful with their words and behaviors while communicating. As the old Chinese saying goes, “言多必失.” They believe that careless talk may lead to trouble.Integrated thinking1Answer 1: Yes, it is necessary for us to keep a distance even from our close friends. This is because although we interact a lot with our close friends, we don’t want to be involved in all aspects of their lives, such as family and romantic relationship. We need to give our friends some personal space to enjoy their family time with their parents, spouse or children.Enriching my own life is an effective way to keep a proper distance from my friends. For example, I spend a lot of time on my work and hobbies, such as discussing some job issues with my colleagues and attending yoga classes after work. In this way, I don’t need to spend every minute with my friends.Answer 2: No, I don’t think we should be mindful about keeping a distance from our friends. Some friendships are characterized with close companionship. They would like to spend as much time with my friends as possible. Friendship develops naturally, and if friends feel comfortable with each other, they don’t need to keep a distance from each other.2Some popular old sayings can vividly show Chinese people’s attitudes towards relationships. With regard to intergenerational relationships, Chinese people advocate the old saying “尊老爱幼” which means “respecting the elderly and loving the young.” As to teacher-student relationships, we promote the idea of “尊师重道” which means “respecting teachers and valuing morality.” For friendships, the lyrics “友谊地久天长” can represent most Chinese people’s views.Compared with Americans, Chinese people value friendships. So they do not discard friendships just because they move to other cities to live. Emails or WeChat messages can be good ways to keep in touch after separation in distance. Compared with Finnish people, Chinese people, especially those from small cities, prefer chatting and building social networks with others. This is considered an efficient way to show hospitality and kindness.Culture mosaic1 IcebreakersAnswer 1: Yes, icebreakers are very useful. There are at least three benefits to use icebreakers: community, interaction, and empathy.Community:Community is a group of individuals who share values or ideals, or are from the same demographic group. Building community is a process, and the practice of using an icebreaker opens the door for individuals to get to know one another.Interaction:Interaction is a necessary component of community building as well, and the useof an icebreaker results in smooth and relaxing interaction between co-workers. An icebreaker might take only a few minutes, but it can bring laughter, open dialogue, or help students step out of their comfort zone.Empathy:To build a strong team, empathy is essential because it allows team members to step back, explore others’ point of view, and then collaborate to make decisions. The icebreaker gives participants the opportunity to see their co-workers’ problems at the beginning of the task, which allows them to be more empathetic and more helpful to each other during the rest of the task.Answer 2: No, sometimes icebreakers are not very useful. Some team members may feel uncomfortable with the unfamiliar icebreaker activities. In such situations, keeping a comfortable atmosphere is more important than introducing an awkward icebreaker.2 Decline in neighborliness1)Answer 1:Yes, neighborliness is important in our daily life. For example, neighbors can keep an eye on your apartment or house when you go traveling or go on a vacation. It is also advantageous to your children. They can allow them to study, play and have fun with the neighbors’ children. Moreover, having a good neighbor you get on well with gives you a chance to socialize and hence learn a thing or two from one another.Answer 2: No, neighborliness is not very important in recent years. People prefer living independently and keeping a private space nowadays. In particular, the young generation does n’t want to be bothered by “enthusiastic” neighbors; instead, they like to take care of themselves and spend more time with their friends and family. Therefore, neighborliness is not an essential part of their lives.2) The decline in neighborliness in America is similar to the trend in China nowadays. Neighbors used to be a very important part of our lives two decades ago. For example, people in the past preferred chatting with neighbors after dinner; they were very willing to help their neighbors who were very busy with work or got into some trouble. However, the Internet brings long-distance relationships closer, and we prefer to make audio or video calls to our parents and friends far away. Hence, people spend more time on virtual contact, rather than on face-to-face contact with neighbors.3 The importance of alumni relationsAnswer 1: Yes, the alumni relations help with the brand building of a university. While the educational institutions mushroom around the world, one way for an institute to stand out from the domestic and international competition is to promote its brand. And an institute’s alumni are its best bet. For example, professional success of some graduates can drive the brand, making the reputation grow. Moreover, alumni donations to the college constitute a significant part of the funding that goes to student s’financial aid, student organizations, sports facilities, and counseling. The donations can not only help school enhance its social prestige but also transform other students’ lives.Answer 2: No, it’s not necessary to improve the alumni relations. Rather than putting much investment in alumni relations, a university should focus more on the current situation and its development. Taking measures to raise the quality of teaching and research can bring more benefits than building alumni relations.。

新编大学英语综合教程1-unit6Unit 6 A World of MysteryIn-Class Reading The Bermuda Triangle百慕大三角1 1945年12月5日，佛罗里达州的劳德代尔堡，天气晴朗，由五架美国海军飞机组成的第19飞行分队从这里起飞。

机上共有14名机组人员。

飞机状况良好；机上装有当时最好的设备，包括罗盘和无线电设备，还携带有救生筏。

飞机可以在水上漂浮90秒钟。

飞机起飞一个半小时后，劳德代尔堡的指挥塔台听到了从其中一架飞机传来的无线电信息。

2 “我不知道我们现在所处的位置。

”3 之后飞机再也无法和指挥塔台通话，但是飞机之间可以通话，而且指挥塔台也能听到他们的通话。

4 “磁罗盘简直疯了。

”5 “我们完全迷失了方向。

”6 从这之后没有收到其他任何信息。

再也没有其他任何人收到过这些飞机的消息或看到过它们。

300架飞机和许多船只搜索了该地区，但没有找到第19飞行分队的任何踪迹。

而且其中一架被派去搜寻的飞机也彻底失踪了。

7 这些飞机是在西大西洋上一个非常神秘的地方失踪的，在这里已经发生了许多奇怪的事件。

这种神秘现象在1945年之前很久就已经出现了，而且自那一年以来，又有许多其他船只和飞机在这一地区失踪。

这一地区被称为百慕大三角，是大西洋上一个巨大的三角形海域，其北端是百慕大岛。

8 飞机和船只在世界的其他地方也会失踪，但是百慕大三角内发生的失踪事件要比其他地区多。

多年来科学家们和其他人士对这一神秘现象感到困惑不解。

人们做了许多努力，试图解释为什么有这么多的人、飞机和船只在这里失踪。

9 作家约翰·斯宾塞认为，这些船只和飞机被来自另一行星上的飞碟或不明飞行物从海上和空中劫走了。

他的看法是，既然宇宙里有数百万其他行星，那么在宇宙中的某些地方肯定存在其他有智慧的生物。

这些生物喜欢收集人类及其设备，以便仔细观察研究。

10 另一种理论认为，该地区的地理状况是造成船只和飞机失踪的罪魁祸首。

Unit 6 A World of MysteryUseful InformationWe humans have found countless mysteries of the universe with which to occupy our minds over the centuries. We not only ask questions about what something is but we also want to know why it is. Ancient people invented elaborate mythological explanations to account for the mysterious things they saw. Both the sky with its heavenly bodies and seemingly never-ending vastness and the seas with their great depths and power were, and still are, capable of filling people with feelings of awe and wonder.As ancient humans looked at the sky above them, one sight that intrigued them most was the Milky Way. They, of course, didn’t know that the strange, broad, luminous band of light across the sky is in reality composed of countless stars and planets located so far from the earth that they cannot be seen individually by the naked eye. To the ancient Chinese it appeared as a luminous river, which they referred to as the River of Heaven or the Silver Stream. It was also the center of one of the oldest and best-known folk stories in China, ―The Cowherd and the Girl Weaver.‖ Even though today we know what the Milky Way is, it remains equally mysterious in many ways because it is so remote from us. It is no wonder that for those individuals who believe in UFOs, it seems a likely place from which they could have arisen. After all, we know so little about heavenly bodies. Who can say that there is or isn’t life on other planets?The power of the ocean is awesome. We hear of tidal waves that crash onto land, destroying everything in their path; we read accounts of lost ships over the centuries; we read legends about mysterious creatures such as mermaids who were once thought to inhabit the seas. Now, in the 21st century as we fly across the Pacific, we can’t help but feel a bit lonely and concerned as we think of that vast body of water below us.Humans have explored the mysterious whenever possible. The moon was a goal once thought unattainable for exploration, but it finally happened. Now the planet Mars is a current target for exploration. It is easy for us to forget the centuries when brave people risked their lives to explore the North and South Poles or, earlier than that, to find sea passages that would make trade between Europe, the Americas and Asia easier. Finding a northern passage to Asia was a dream of many explorers. Although he died in the effort, John Franklin is credited with having proved the existence of the Northwest Passage, a Canadian Arctic waterway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Only modern technology has been able to solve the mystery of why John Franklin and his crew died. Also, despite all of our modern technology, the power of the extremely cold temperatures and ice in the far north still makes it extremely dangerous for sea navigation.The Bermuda Triangle, a section of the North Atlantic Ocean off North America in which many ships and airplanes are said to have mysteriously disappeared over the years, still remains mysterious to many people. While there are plausible theories today, theyhave yet to be proved. This vaguely triangular-shaped area of ocean has countless stories and some people actually believe its mystery will never be satisfactorily explained. Even if it is, there will still remain many things in this world of mystery that will keep us asking, ―Why?‖PreparationPart Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesIn-Class ReadingI.
