Globalization has great implications for young Chinese. For example, young farmers are moving on a large scale to urban areas to look for jobs. And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprises, English has become increasingly important. At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The Internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit 5:VocabularyI. 1.

For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive.For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death. Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.Unit 6Vocabulary:1. 1) appliances 2) comparative 3) multiply 4) distribution5) prosperity 6) decorate 7) famine 8) large quantities of/ a large quantity of9) streamline 10) fax 11) pointed the way to 12) bewildered2. 1) eat into 2) cling to 3) stand out/ stood out 4) wears away5) set about 6) switch off 7) will be turned loose 8) poured in3. 1)is forecast to be below average next year, which at the moment is4 percent.2)to enter the building and find the baby girl proved futile as rescuerswere driven out by the heat and flames.3)was urged to divert some of its attention from expanding productionand get more involved with issues of market demand.4)can really eat heavily into your profits when you are selling suitsat ￡900 and dresses at ￡2,000.5)has toiled endlessly over the exercise machine for the last twentyyears in order to keep her body in shape.4. 1) reaction to; discontent; provoked2) Convention; evading tax; the confines of3) a burden; are always on the go/ seem forever on the go; to cope Confusable Words1. 1) nervousness 2) tension 3) stress; stress 4) tension2. 1) honorary 2) Honorable 3) honorable 4) honorary5) honorable 6) HonoraryUsage1)Dealing with the extinction crisis is no simple matter.

But, believe it or not,it isn’t money that ensures you a happy marriage; it is your philosophy of life that does.4)Not all the risks on the Internet are sexual, you know.

Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and to possess more. Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally。

The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over.

He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.

Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families.

Firstly, it offers convenience. With just a few clicks, people can purchase items from the comfort of their own homes. This saves time and eliminates the need to travel to physical stores.Secondly, online shopping provides a wider variety of products. Customers have access to a global market and can choose from a vast range of items, including those that are not available in local stores. This gives shoppers more options to find the exact product they are looking for.Additionally, online shopping often offers better prices. Many online retailers offer discounts and promotions, allowing customers to find great deals. Furthermore, customers can easily compare prices between different websites to find the best value for their money.Disadvantages:Despite its benefits, online shopping also has some disadvantages. One major concern is the lack of physical inspection. When shopping online, customers cannot physically examine or try on products before purchasing them. This can lead to disappointment if the product does not meet their expectations.Another drawback is the potential for fraud and security risks. As online transactions require the sharing of personal and financial information, there is a risk of that information being stolen or misused. This can lead to financial loss and identity theft.Lastly, online shopping lacks the immediate gratification of traditional shopping. Customers have to wait for the product to be delivered, which can take several days or even weeks. This delay may not be suitable for individuals who need immediate access to the item.In conclusion, online shopping offers convenience, a wide variety of products, and better prices. However, it also has drawbacks such as the lack of physical inspection, potential for fraud, and delayed gratification. It is important for consumers to weigh both the advantages and disadvantages before making a decision to shop online.第七课综合填空1.respected2.encourage3.opportunities4.beginner’s5.interaction6.featuring7.techniques8.workshop9.improve10.participated第八课作文题目：Describe your favorite hobby and why you enjoy it.My favorite hobby is playing the guitar.
