Dictation Many students who call themselves bad readers nevertheless do read some things successfully. They may read novels or they may read the sports page every day. But a textbook is a different matter. A textbook gives them a lot of trouble. Why is that? One reason is lack of interest. Another is that they are often unfamiliar with the subject about which they are reading. But a third reason is that they try to read a textbook as if it were a novel or a sports story or a problem to be solved by Ann Landers. They respond to the textbook inappropriately. How you read something depends on the author’s purpose in writing. There are basically four purposes for writing. Some authors write to tell a story; others write to create an image in your mind; mind; some some some write write write to to to inform inform inform or or or teach; teach; teach; and and and still still still others others others write write write to to to convince convince convince you you you of of of a a a particular particular viewpoint. Each of these four purposes requires a different response as you read. If you respond differently to different types of writing, you will find that your reading will be much easier. 3.

参考译文Unit 6 Text A卡罗琳·特克从事的职业传统上一直是男人们的天下。
在本文,她谈到自己是如何干上这一行的,并通过她的成功表明男人们能学会的事女人们也能做到。
男人学得会的,女人也学得会卡罗琳·特克我小时候卧室里的每样东西都是粉红色的。
我有两个姐妹,我们有一个一应俱全的微型厨房,一群各种颜色的小马驹,还有好几个芭比和凯恩玩具娃娃。
我们没有玩具卡车,没有玩具大兵,也没有篮球。
我们确实有一套空心棒球,但是很难在我们的游戏室找到,毕竟我们不是假小子。
正因为如此,有些人对我长大后成了一名机械工程师也许感到出乎意外。
事实上,我是我公司里唯一的一个女工程师。
为了取得大学文凭,我要上许多数学和自然科学方面的课程。
我还得和几个学生一起工作,作为参与一次全国性竞赛的一部分,把一辆耗费汽油特多的运动型多用途汽车改装成混合型电动车—就这样我学会了修车。
我可以自豪地说,我门门功课都是A,包括多变量微积分和微分方程。
我的数学和设计总是相当好,但是我不知道这些会给我带来什么样的结果。
家里要我上大学,但是没人告诉我有一天会成为一名优秀的工程师。
我上高中时对工程一无所知。
我那时不能辨别变速器和交流发电机。
我开的车需要修理,但是我不敢把车开到修理工那里,因为说实话,如果修理工给我看一把电动开罐器并对我说:“这是你的汽车部件,坏了—你付钱我给你修,”我也不会知道他在敲诈。
我在高中第三年末的时候,听说有一个暑期班,专门培养女孩对工程的兴趣。
课程六周,不用缴费,学生还可获得大学学分,还可享受马里兰大学学生宿舍一个房间。
我申请参加这个暑期班,这倒不是因为我想当工程师,而是因为我渴望独立,想离开父母的房子自己单独过上六周。
我被这个暑期班录取了,得到了六个工程学分。
第二年我上了这个大学,主修工程。
五年后我获得学位,还有三个像样的就业机会。
听到有研究表明女性学数学处于劣势,我不禁不寒而栗。
他们的言下之意是我有点反常。

Unit 6 History and GovernmentPART AReading and Discussing①1) Abraham Lincoln2) George W. Bush3) Franklin D. Roosevelt4) Barack Obama5) George Washington②1)Franklin D. Roosevelt2)George Washington3)Abraham Lincoln4)George W. Bush5)Barack ObamaPART BBackground of the speechRoosevelt articulated the “Four Freedoms”in a speech to Congress in January 1941, almost a full year before the United States entered World War II. At that time, Nazi Germany had occupied much of Europe, with Great Britain remaining as the last holdout against German military power. Roosevelt’s speech consisted of a summation of this bleak scenario, as well as a call for increased US involvement (short of military action) to support Great Britain against the Nazis. He also argued for increased military preparedness and called for more funds to build up American armaments. This view was not held by many Americans, who wished to stay out of events overseas. Against this backdrop, Roosevelt listed “four freedoms” that the United States and other democracies should uphold:Freedom of speech and expressionFreedom of every person to worship God in his own wayThe third is freedom from want––which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings that will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitantsFreedom from fear––which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor Roosevelt ended each of these declarations with the phrase “everywhere/anywhere inthe world,” indicating that he believed the United States should play a role not simply in protecting its own freedoms, but in promoting freedom around the world for all peoples. He said that a world in which these freedoms were upheld was attainable, and, here is the most important point, he juxtaposed this vision with the “new order” sought, and to some extent established, by dictators in Germany, Italy, Japan, and elsewhere. So each of these concepts, held to be fundamental to the American character, was explained as “the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.”FDR’s speech in January of 1941 was meant to convince the American people that the nation needed to increase support to Great Britain. FDR ended strict neutrality, but he wanted it clear as to the reasons why. The USA, which he presented as still unique and different from European empires, would not become involved in an international conflict for territorial gain or conquest. American involvement was based on the defense of freedom against absolute oppression in the form of fascism.Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms Speech remained significant even after World War II. By including freedom from want and freedom from fear, Roosevelt recognized freedoms beyond constitutional rights. This expanded notion of freedom—particularly freedom from the fear caused by aggressive nations—became a primary justification for the creation of the United Nations, which Roosevelt helped establish after the war.
