Economic liberalism promoted freedom of action for the individual and the firm through the doctrines of free trade, self-interest, private property, laissez-faire, and competition.According to his philosophy, individuals were free to seek their own occupations, to enter any business, and to act as they saw fit to improve their economic welfare.

新视野大学英语第三版读写教程3 十五选十Unit 1 P12determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will 1) find a way to do it well. The 2) point is that you must have the will to achieve success.Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strong will involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any 3) to achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuse to explain the situation away.On many occasions, people tend to 4) every minute obstacle, making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will to succeed, they can get rid of the 5) and achieve their goals.Only those with a(n) 6) and focused will and spirit can fight their way to final victory. Many a famous man has the same experience. They have 7) their prestige because they have had the will to 8) apparently insuperable (无法克服的) obstacles. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have managed to succeed because they possess a fierce will, which has helped them to accomplish major 9) .Therefore, we can see that the main thing which one needs is a strong will. Weak-willed people never climb to the top. They collapse at the 10) use of force against them. Strong-willed people, on the other hand will stand up against all odds and will make it a point to succeed.Unit 2 P42process that is 1) by profound psychological changes, especially in terms of how we relate to others. One of the most frustrating 2) of the adolescent years is the tendency for self-focus and a decrease in the 3) of focus we have for the feelings and needs of others.While these changes are fairly universal, those of us who were born with a shy temperament (性格) can carry the adolescent fears, which may never 4) , into adulthood. An anxious temperament causes our brains to react forcibly when 5) to the stress of sudden awareness of our peers and gradually we become more and more vulnerable. Our brains label the fear of exposure or embarrassment as highly dangerous. This may result in a(n) 6) circle for many years: excessive self-consciousness and inhibition when you feel you are being observed.To cope with the problem, I would like to 7) you to strive for increased focus on other people, in place of your 8) focus on yourself. Yes, I know, this is easier said than done. The fear may cause you to feel that you will lose control or make a fool of yourself when you are in the spotlight (聚光灯). But if you begin to build a new response, in 9) to your fears, you will gradually build up a stronger and more positive response. Remember, don't let self-consciousness 10) you! Be courageous!Audrey Hepburn was a beautiful actress and model, who became one of the most successful and well-known actresses in the film 1) .She was a fashion icon and role model for women all over the world, helping to 2) a particular type of fresh, vulnerable, elfin (小精灵似的) beauty. Today's 3) of the slim fashion model is due to Audrey Hepburn's influence. Although she appeared frail (脆弱的), she was 4) strong. At the end of her acting career when she entered a(n) 5) career as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, she was so solidly 6) to her cause that she was held in highest esteem (尊重) by even the most hardened politicians.Audrey originally started working for UNICEF in 1954, doing radio presentations. She always said it was happy to 7) her life to helping impoverished (穷困的) children after her own good fortune in 8) the hardship of the Nazi occupation of Holland. She began her permanent ambassadorship in 1988 and 9) on trips to many countries. She was always positive: "People in these places don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognize the name UNICEF. When they see UNICEF their faces light up, because they know that something is happening." In 1992, her 10) work with those in need was recognized when she was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for her contribution to humanity."Why would you leave behind your comfortable bed, your home, your family and friends? Why do you want to go alone?" When you are living out of a backpack for a period of time, you may often get questioned why.

Then complete the answers that follow the questions in no more than 3 words.Hi Bill,How are you? Last time we spoke, you told me that you were having some difficulties with your parents. Are things getting any better? I hope so. Anyway, I thought I’d write and share some advice, as I had a similar issue with my overprotective parents a few years ago.I think it’s important to remember that your parents are doing what they do because they love you. Instead of getting annoyed with them, try having an honest conversation with them. You could explain your feelings calmly, and tell them you would like more independence.Another approach you can take is to gradually demonstrate your responsibility and maturity. Show your parents that you can handle small tasks and responsibilities on your own. By doing this you can earn their trust over time.It could also be helpful to involve an adult in the conversation between you and your parents—someone you trust, like a relative or a family friend. This could help your parents to see things from a different perspective.I think that patience is important in dealing with overprotective parents. It may take time for them to adjust to you growing older and more independent. In the meantime, try to understand their concerns.I hope that advice is helpful. Remember, I’m always here for you if you need me. Love,Amy21. What is Bill’s problem?Bill is having some difficulties _________________________________.22.

Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public examination.If teacher and learner roles are distinguishable, how can teaching aid the child in the quest for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.1.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that________.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. too much time is spent in teaching about readingC. students spend endless hours in readingD. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance2.The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.A. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readi ngB. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable3.The word "examination" at the end of Paragraph 3 most probably means "________".A. inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion4.According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when________.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are identicalC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children's experience5.The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believedQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Society usually tends to focus on the negative side of inner-city schools. Many people like to stereotype (模式化) these schools which, while these general statements may be true in some cases, tend to be worse most of the time. People think that the stude nts of these schools receive inferior educations. My school, an inner-city school named St. Ignatius, is regarded as one of the best in the state. People also believe that violence occurs on a daily basis, both in the school itself and in the nearby city. I cannot even remember a serious fight at St. Ignatius.People who think that the teachers at inner-city schools lack love for their job worsen this typical stereotype even further. My teachers not only had a love for teaching, but they were also able to cultivate a love for learning in their students.Take Mrs. Borroni, my Spanish teacher, for example. She would often take time out of her class to tell her students about the numerous activities after class with which we should get involved. She loved her job so much that she stayed after school every day to moderate activities such as "Amnesty International" (an international organization that protects human rights) and the Spanish Club. Her students, including me, joined all of the clubs which she moderated just because she made them so interesting.After reading all of this, most people would argue that St. Ignatius should not be considered a true "inner-city school". While this may hold some truth, I am arguing that my life was greatly enriched simply because of the school's location in the middle of Cleveland, as opposed to a poor suburban area.6.What do people often think negatively about?A. Inner-city schools.B. Stereotypes.C. St. Ignatius.D. Violence.7.What can the author never remember seeing at St. Ignatius?A. Amnesty International.B. A serious fight.C. A Spanish club.D. Inferior students.8.What would Mrs. Borroni do after school?A. Give Spanish classes.B. Tell students about activities.C. Guide students in special groups.D. Help students love learning.9.Why might a reader of this article not view St. Ignatius as a real inner-city school?A. It is not in the middle of the city.B. It is in a poor suburban area.C. It enriched the author's life.D. It might be better than others.10.How does the author feel about inner-city schools?A. The stereotypes about them are not at all true.B. They are not necessarily all bad, as they can be good.C. They are much poorer than those in the suburbs.D. The students there are more enlightened.In 1913, the United States government introduced a bold, new nickel. James Earle Fraser said his goal was to design a coin that would be "truly American." In his search for symbols, he found none more distinctive than the American buffalo. Choosing to show a Native American on the other side of the coin, Fraser said the new nickel had "perfect unity of theme."Production of "Buffalo" or "Indian Head" nickels began in February 1913. A single coining press at the Philadelphia Mint (造币⼚) started turning out the nickels at the rate of 120 a minute. But after the first examples were introduced, The New York Times said they were "bad."Other critics said that the coin's "rough" surfaces would encourage counterfeiters (造假币的⼈). But the most serious complaint about the nickel had to do with its inability to stand heavy use. One coin collectors' magazine predicted that the slightest wear would remove the date and the words Five Cents "beyond understanding."In 1938, the Government staged a competition for a new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson. According to a news item of the day, the Department of Indian Affairs didn't receive a single complaint from Native Americans about the design change. Collectors didn't seem to mind either.1.In the eyes of Fraser, a __________ is the most distinctive.A. nickelB. buffaloC. Native AmericanD. unity of theme2.In the second sentence, Paragraph 2, the word "press" means ________.A. publicationB. newspaperC. machineD. the act of pushing down3.The design of a buffalo was modified ________.A. because it was not able to stand heavy useB. because the words Five Cents were "beyond understanding"C. because the coin couldn't be pressed by the Philadelphia MintD. because the words were too high on the coin4.According to one collectors' magazine using a Native American and a buffalo was ________.A. a good ideaB. a bad ideaC. a perfect ideaD. a forced idea5.It seemed that the new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson ________.A. won much praise from collectorsB. caused strong protests from American IndiansC. was OK both to the collectors and American IndiansD. was praised both by the collectors and American IndiansQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Time passed and my cards sold well. My enthusiasm for the greeting card business grew quickly. All along, I had been drawing fantasy art: monsters, dragons, castles, etc. With the birth of my first son in 1980, the content of my work went through a pretty dramatic change.Fantasy went out of the window, and I began to illustrate reality.In the spring of 1983, we, The Mary Engelbreit Greeting Card Company, took our 12 little designs to New York to exhibit them at a national card show.I remember how big the show was. I just couldn't get over it. I had no idea there were so many different card companies. And it was exciting because our 12 little cards were getting a lot of attention in that huge place!I've been told one of the reasons we had so much success at that show is because my card style was different than anything else at the market. I typically draw complicated details and use deep colors and funny or meaningful quotations.By 1985, many greeting card publishers started noticing my art, and two of them approached me with licensing contracts.I have always believed if you choose a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. If you ask about the mystery of my success, all I can say is this: to imagine is everything!6.Before the birth of her first son, Mary Engelbreit's cards focused on ________.A. realityB. daily lifeC. fantasyD. dragons7.The New York show was so big that Engelbreit ________.A. couldn't walk through itB. couldn't believe itC. couldn't stay to the end of itD. couldn't understand it8.

Pills cost a lot of money. In Africa, AIDS drugs may cost more than a person makes in one year. At the same time, some American hospitals throw away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes, didn't think this was fair, so he decided to do something about it.Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every month, he sends AIDS drugs, which would've been thrown away, to Africa. His act of kindness has not been noticed much in his home country. In Africa though, he is well known. Many people in Africa send him e-mails, asking him for the medicine they need.Lee was a nurse. He knows that millions of dollars worth of drugs are thrown away. Five years ago he learned he was sick with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vacation to Africa and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him to begin sending drugs to Africa.Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone. With their help, he has gotten the names and addresses for a hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders andhe records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to Africa, once a year, to see the people he's helping.Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license.

It spreads rich, muddy (泥泞的) soil from Ethiopia over its valley and forms deep stretches of green, fertile (肥沃的) lands along its banks. The settlers found that in the soft rich earth wheat and other crops could be planted, even without the use of the plough, and they began to make many settlements of farmers.In these early times they did not of course understand why the river overflowed each year. But they knew that their crops and, therefore, their lives, depended upon its magic (魔术似的) floods, and they explained the miracle as the work of gods.But there came some years when there was a "bad Nile". Sometimes the floods were not full and did not bring enough soil; the crops were poor and the people starved. At other times the waters were so great that they destroyed houses and villages, and drowned (淹死) men and beasts (牲畜). It took perhaps many centuries before the farmers learned how to control the Nile waters.Wise men among them watching the position of the stars year by year found that they could predict when the annual rising of the Nile would come. Thus they began to learn about the scientific study of the sun, earth, moon, and stars and could make a calendar of the years. They also learnt how to measure out the land so that it could be divided fairly again after the boundaries of the farms had been washed away by great floods. In this way, there came about ancient knowledge of engineering and of geometry.6.We can learn from this passage that the Nile is ______.A. always a gentle flowing riverB. hot in the first half of the year but cold later onC. likely to overflow at unknown times of the yearD. a life-giving river that makes the land rich7.The settlers began farming in the Nile valley because ______.A. they discovered that their crops could grow well in the soil thereB. they did not realize that the river would overflow sometimesC. they found many settlements of farmers in the valleyD. they realized that their crops depended on the floods8.The Nile was called the "bad Nile" at times because _______.A. the floods made the river difficult to controlB. the floods could only be predicted by wise menC. the river sometimes flooded too little or too muchD. the river took the good soil away to Ethiopia9.The Egyptians of that time learned to predict the floods by _______.A. studying the flooding of the Nile year by yearB. observing the position of the stars year by yearC. inventing some maps of the Nile floodsD. developing engineering and measuring land10.According to the passage, the ancient Egyptians ________.A. had studied the stars and made their own calendar of the yearsB. watched the fall and rise of the Nile and learned how to control the floodC. discovered science before the peoples of other nationsD. learned a lot about geometry and spread the knowledge all over the world。

It is the (1) period, during which we move from teenage to adolescence. We learn who we are and what we stand for and what inspires us. Also, in this period we are (2) with a lot of pressure from our parents who want us to make something out of ourselves.My parents have already expressed feelings of (3) over my future with academics and life. When I expressed to them recently that I would not mind graduating in five years instead of four in order to study abroad to (4) myself with the world, they seemed so shocked. That idea sounded foreign and to them was (5) to lack of ambition.Apart from that, my mother has (6) to me that she is worried that I am not searching for a boyfriend. I (7) this stupid idea of marrying out of college since it does not suit me one bit. Women today can get what they want out of life without a man, even children, as it becomes more(8) for women to adopt children.I personally want to stay in school as long as I can to (9) my academic work, possibly complete a law degree and start a career, and then after, and only after, begin to think about (10) to marriage. If my math is correct, that means I will be more or less "ready" for marriage at the age of 29 or 30, the age when my mother had me.Traditional dating is a self-paced, general meeting of two people. The two usually (1) with spending extra time together, getting to know one another and seeing how (2) they could be to each other. A good example is a man meeting a woman and sensing her (3 . He then extends a formal invitation for a date. With traditional dating, you get to go at a steady pace, (4) yourself and your date to get to know each other through extensive contact.There are many (5) that can be expected from traditional dates. Men, who are supposed to (6) these traditional values, will open the door for the woman, stand up when she leaves the table, pay for everything, and (7) to the next move. In the1950s, a man would usually ask a woman out several days ahead for a specific date and time. If she accepted, they would (8) for a time to pick her up. He would then take her to a dinner and a movie.Today the rules of traditional dating are less clear. Twenty years ago, if a young lady asked a men out on a date, it was thought to be (9) . Now, women are being encouraged to take the initiative and ask men out. A date may consist of a brief meeting at a café or a trip to the (10) art museum. Men often pay on the first date, but the woman may offer to go Dutch. The traditional dating style has been found much less common now.To spend or save is a question which many people have. There is always a(n) (1) whether one should spend the money that he has earned or save that money for the future. Well, there is no (2) answer to the question as different people have different (3) on their life, and that is the reason why some people tend to spend all the money earned while others (4) control over their money.People who spend all the money do not think much about the future.

People who have their first job or who haven't married often fall in this category.In the long run, saving is a good (7) for one's life as saving helps an individual to plan for future (8) needs.

Instead of buying on impulse, they delay their purchasing decision and won't be easily (10) by commercial ads. Individuals who have responsibility for their family belong to this category.Simplifying is not necessarily about less. It can be about more: more time, more enjoyment, more accomplishment, and more of what (1) you. If you do a lot of things that don't bring you joy or support your long-term plan, then doing less of that kind of things makes sense because you can't (2) everything. The purpose of simplifying is to remove what's not important.To understand what should be (3) , try to think of activities and things as either assets or obligations. An asset is something that is valuable. Some (4) examples are stocks, bonds, buildings, land, gold, etc., but a little more broadly, an asset is anything that can strengthen and (5) you, moving you closer to your goals. However, obligations are debts. An obligation is anything that (6) you, moves you farther from your goals, provides negative stress, creates anxiety, and decreases your health. Then how can you (7) the idea of simplifying? Think about your daily activities and start with just one area. For example, you may begin with(8) by making a long list of your daily activities. Your list may(9) around such routines as paying bills and planning a birthday party for a friend, etc. Do the activities get you closer to your goals? If not, (10) the list. Remove what is unnecessary in order to concentrate more on something important in your life.It's obvious that women have come a long way as successful professionals.

Women used to be much more "quiet and passive" due to the relatively small number of female employees in (5) to males. Women today, on the other hand, have begun seeking their (6) positions by using all their powers of intelligence. Men are hierarchical and (7) of the "beauty power" that allows women to get certain things based on their physical assets. Even though there is a(n) (8) whether many professional females got into positions of power by using their appearance to their advantage, the (9) fact is the majority of women have worked hard to achieve their desired success. Women were considered as (10) in the workplace for many years and it was believed that the only jobs that they could handle were those of teachers or secretaries, but today's women can not only hold their own positions in the workplace, but they also have the dual task of raising their families.答案Unit1 LCJAI ONEHF Unit2 CHDJB LMGFAThe animal rights movement is a social movement which seeks an end to using animals in the research, food, clothing, and entertainment industries, (1) being called animal liberation.

The idea of (7) rights to animals wins the support of several prominent scholars.However, some critics argue that animals are unable to enter into a social contract or moral (8) and for that reason cannot be granted rights.

Winners would receive scholarships and be able to study in the United States. Ana knew her grades were excellent,but she realized that she must do well on the exams in order to qualify for the$3,000 stipend ( 津贴). Although Ana had worried about the interview portion of the exam, she came through with flying colors ( 轻松地). She spoke to the American interviewers about her family background and discussed her educational plans with them. Her hard work paid off, for she was one of twenty awarded a four-year scholarship earlierthis month.Now Ana cannot believe that she is sitting in a business management class at the University of California at Los Angeles. Although she has had seven years of English language classes, Ana is having difficulty with the text and lectures because there are so many new words and technical definitions to remember. Ana is finding it difficult to understand the professor. Now she must work twice as hard to maintain her high grades.21. Ana realizes that __ .A) her grades are poorB) she must do well on the examC) she is sitting in a business management classD) she must work twice as hard to get good grades22. Ana has been studying English for _____ .A) seven years B) two monthsC) all her life D) the last two years23.

The best main idea for the first paragraph is ___ .A) Ana has many experiences taking the interview examB) Ana prepares for the interview examC) Ana came through with flying colorsD) Ana takes examsPassage 2Having raised eight children of my own, I know the dilemma parents face. In a world increasingly hostile to children, we want to show we care by acting on our loving impulses, which usually means spending. But when our kids came home asking for the latest designer wear, my wife and I knew we had to say “no”more often than not. Of course, deciding to have no TV in the house was the first real breakthrough; I doubt we would have won this battle without freeing ourselves from its influence.As a child, I grew up in what I now see was poverty. For the first few years of my life, I ate only the smallest amount. Yet, I would find it hard to imagine a happier childhood. Why? Because my parents gave us children time and attention on a daily basis. For instance, nomater how busy they were, they tried to eat breakfast with us before we went off to school each morning.No child should have to live in poverty. But I firmly believe that the happiness of a child does not depend on his or her access to material wealth. After all, it is the love we give our children, and not the things, that will remain with them for life.Havingworked thirty years as a family counselor, I know that parents really to love their children, and want to do what is best for them. But what does it mean to give a child love? Next time you feel that your have failed your kids, and are tempted torelieve those feeling by bringing home gifts, remember that we can't buy our children 's affection. All they really want, and need, is time and attentiveness, a listening ear and an encouraging word. These are things every parent can provide.26. What the author most concerns about is ___ .A) how to make children pleasedB) how to give children the true loveC) how to educate his childrenD) how to meet the children 's needs27. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A) The author lived in a poor family when he was very young.B) He never bought any gifts to his children.C) When he was a child, his parents cared him and other children much in their ownway.D) Every parent has the ability to provide love for his or her children.28.
