U1 A1 Catching CrabsWith the terminal of school life coming, the author’s classmates had nothing to do but get their life mapped out. Their ideas about the future vary from person to person.Ambitious as some students were, the majority of them tended to choose a comfortable job and became an ordinary person. Instead of the high flyers with good grades, it was always the quieter, less impressive students who had the next stages of their life mapped out.The author was longing to travel and become a writer. His father who was a lawyer didn’t object him but brought him to a lake to chat with him, which surprised him very much.In that morning, his father inspired him through the crabs which could be bothered to escape. He also asked him to figure out what he really want and was really significative to him. And only when he get the answer would he be happy.U1 A2 We are all dyingIn this article, the author brings us some good news and some bad news. The bad news, as the author double-and triple-checked out, is that we are all dying. We are all going to be either coffin dwellers or trampled ash in the rose garden of some local cemetery.The good news is that knowing that we are all budding, crypt-kickers takes away all the uncertainty of life. All that matters is the middle bit and that’s down to us.It’s typical that we all have the great things we’re going to do with our life “when the time is right”. The novel that we want to write, the trip to the Grand Canyon we’ve always planned to take, the West End play w e want to direct. It’s essential that we should do them now on account of that the time is never quite right. We can’t count on tomorrow because tomorrow is just another version of now.When we go to a buffet, they give us a bowl the size of a saucer, life is like that bowl. We can cram as much into that tiny bowl as we can carry but we only have one shot at it. So let’s make the best of our short stay.We all have the same amount of minutes. It’s just what we do with our time, how we invest it, that determines where our lives may lead. We areall dying and our allotted time is finite, don’t be something that you patently do not want to be. And the right time never arrives, why the hell aren’t we doing all the things we want to do now?U2 A1 SupermanThe year the war began, the author was in the fifth grade at a Grammar School in Winthrop. He can still recall the changing color of those days although 13 years passed.The author’s home was on the bay side of town, opposite to an airport.. He was always fascinated by the beauteous sceneries out of the window. He always dreamed of flying, dreamed about the Superman. He shared his love for the sheer poetry of flight with his fellow named David.The author, David and Sheldon always played the Superman games together. They had a very good time in campus.In addition, the author found his uncle Frank bore an extraordinary resemblance to Superman incognito.13 years lapsed, he still remember all that details. He did have a dreamlike childhood.U2 A2 Cultural childhoodsAs the famous sentence goes:” The past is a foreign country: They do things differently there.”There are vast differences between contemporary and historical childhoods. Today, children have few responsibilities, their lives are characterized by play not work, school not paid labour, family rather than public life. Today, a four year old who can tie his or her shoes is impressive, however, in colonial times, four-year-old girls can contribute to the family economy.Childhood is a “social construction”. W hile all societies acknowledge that children are different from adults, how they are different and what expectations are placed on them, change according to the society in which they live.For instance, the Inuit of Canadian Artic treat their children with a great deal of tolerance leniency. In contrast, children on the Pacific island of Tonga are regularly beaten by their parents and older siblings on account of that they are seen as being closer to mad people than adults. The Beng, a small ethnic group in West Africa, believe in a spirit world where children live before they are born. And they maydecide to return there if they are not properly looked after. So parents treat young children carefully. In the UK, and the Western world in general, people view children as incompetent and dependent. While the Yanamamo girls are expected to help their mothers from a young age.In general, though people take different attitudes on children, all societies recognize that children are different to adults and have particular qualities and needs. And we should not interfere in or criticize people whose lives and understandings of the world are different to ours.U3 A1 How we listenWhen it comes to listening to music, I’d like to say we all listen to music on three planes.The first plane, which is also the simplest way of music listening is to listen for the sheer pleasure of the musical sound without thinking, without considering it in any way. For example, one may go a concert in order to lose himself.The second plane is what the author called expressive one. Music always express itself through its melodies, rhythms, harmonies and tone colors. However, It’s typical that people read different meanings into music. The last plane is sheerly musical plane. We do need to admire absolute music on account of that it’s of great significance. People usually find a psychedelic world through listening to absolute music.To make a summary, we divide music listening into three planes. We simultaneously and without thinking listen on all three planes.U3 A2 The mystery of Girl with a Pearl EarringThe painting Girl with a Peal Earring, which is one of the greatest works of Johannes, Vermeer poses some fascinating questions. Who is the young woman? What is she thinking as she stare out at us etc.Firstly, very little is known about Vermeer. One important information we know is that he married a Catholic girl, who insisted that he convert to Catholicism. It remains a mystery why the girl was painted like this-a portrait tend to sell better at that time.In addition, this painting has been the theme of a novel which imagined her as a poor, but hardworking maid who attracted the painter despite their different backgrounds and class. Then this painting was made in afilm. Both the novel and the film attempted to answer some of the mysteries.This wonderful work has been described as the Mona Lisa of the north cause it appears to be a portrait of a girl with an mysterious smile.U4 A1 Work in corporate AmericaCompared with jobs in the past, jobs today are quite different.Firstly, jobs today are absolutely incomprehensible to children. In the past, when questioned “What’s your job?” a father may reply to his children” I fix steam engines” But today he may answer” I sell space” And it’s typica l that even grown people only know about there own jobs, they know little about others’ jobs.Secondly, today people’s work is to make junk. How to say that? People use machines to process products. Once the products break down, they are likely to be disgored and become junk. So it is with people in glass buildings who are coping with piles of paper. Some people sign in the paper, some people deliver the paper, some people talk about the paper but one day the paper will have to become useless junk. So we say people’s work is something that has to do with making junk.Thus, jobs today are no longer like the past.U4 A2 Our supposedly exciting times are really rather dullWe live in a world of unprecedented, dazzling change. However, our supposedly exciting times are really dull. We do not, in fact, live in very interesting times at all.For example, Tomas Friedman regard globalization as a new “international system”. However, in a historical context, the word is almost entirely meaningless. Roman Empire is a multicultural country. Romans even trade with foreign countries, though we tend to boost of our modernity. There aren’t many great changes in the last few decades. We do not live in an age of great technological innovation. As a matter of fact, most of the technologies we use everyday-toasters and kettles, planes and trains and automobiles etc-were invented decades ago. The pace of change looks even slower when we compare it with typical expectations only a few decades ago. People in the 1960s imagined that human would be catching. Pan-Am flights to space stations, talking to sentient computers, and living on Moon.In a word, although the baby-boom generation like to brag that they have experienced greater change than any other.U5 A1 Dinner at Joanne’sJoann e’s is very famous in America, neither because of its food, which had often been maligned, nor because of its jazz orchestra, which had a guest slot for a well-known movie director, but because of the stellar quality of its sophisticated guests. Josh Lester, who is a black man with highly competent, fancy degree and work experience, was going to Joanne’s to date with a senator named Jo Rogers on one snowy Christmas Eve. Josh Lester got to Joanne’s before Rogers. He asked the waiter for his reserved sets but was looked down upon.. He finally was leaded to a table close to a bathroom. And what is more annoying is that the head waiter didn’t cope with Josh’s request on account of that there are many other guests who had higher status. However, when his date, the well-known senator reached and talked with Josh, things completely changed. People in Joanne’s focused on them. One person even offered to pay their bill but was refused by Rogers. After knowing that Josh was going to be the new deputy campaign manager of Rogers, and may become the Chief of Staff, the lead waiter showed his flattery to Rogers and Josh, and showed his eager that they could be there again. But Rogers said they won’t be there any more.U5 A2 I, we, theyA Swedish corporation was approached by a compatriot. An engineer, whom the author called Johannesson was sent to Riyadh where he was introduced to a small Saudi engineering firm on behalf of the corporation. After 6 meetings over a period of two years, the Saudi firm at last made a contract w ith Johannesson’s company and the intermediary was not needed on account of that, he was promoted. Soon another engineer took the place of Johannesson. However, a few weeks later, the Saudi firm threatened to conceal the contract because of a minor conflict only if Johannesson become the representative of his corporation again.This story reflected the different concepts of the role of personal relationships in business of the Swedes and the Saudis. For the Swedes, business is done with a company; for the Saudis ,with a person whom one has learned to know and trust.Generally speaking, there are two kinds of societies. The author called the societies in which the interest of the group previous over the interests of the individual collectivist, which refers to the power of the group. In these societies, between the person and the in-group a dependence relationship develops which is both practical and psychological.In addition, a minority of people live in societies in which the interests of the individual prevail over the interests of the group. These societies was called individualist. In these societies, children are expected to leave the parental home as soon as this has been achieved. And after having left home, children tend to reduce the relationships with their parents. In this type of society, a healthy person won’t depend on a group practically or psychologically.U6 A1 Last man down: the fireman’s story11 September 2001 9:59AM. Pitch with about two dozen people-including his 7 companies of firefighters were on the 35th floor of the north tower of the world Trade Center. They were in various stages of exhaustion. They had been at a hard thing for almost an hour. They were all confused. Abruptly, with a noise starting, the building began to tremble. They all froze, having no idea what they should do. At that moment, Pitch’s thoughts were all over the place. Every possible worst-case scenario, the rumble struck him still with fear, the sheer volume of it, like a thousand runaway trains speeding towards him.It seemed that there should be no time to think. But Pitch did think about his official carrier, his colleagues, the bagels which he left on the kitchen counter and he thought it must be the biggest fire in both his and his colleagues’ lives. All these thoughts were landing in his brain in a kind of flashpoint.This story comes from Pitch’s book “Last Man Down” which gives the reader an idea of the nightmare and the chaotic confusion of one of the darkest days in the history of America.On 9:59, the north tower collapsed, at that moment, Pitch gave the order to evacuate, and on the 12 floor they found 50 people trapped. They helped them downstairs but the tower fell when they reached the 7th floor. Though he was buried, he come round four hours later, leading his men to safety.U6 A2 Eleanor Roosevelt: First Lady of the WorldAs a young woman, Roosevelt did volunteer work for organizations like the Red Cross and the Junior League of NY. She was a high society lady with a big heart. Born In a society dominated by men, she fighted for the power of the women. And she was coming into her own when moved to the White House.Roosevelt was the first First lady to hold a press conference. She became involved with New Deal project because her disabled husband counte d on her very much. She was the White House’s chief advocate for the rights of women and African-Americans.In 1945, after his husband passed by, she was invited to serve as a US delegate .Roosevelt soon became the leader of the 17 women delegates and advisers to the first United Nations, and she did a good job. When she resigned years later, she visited India, where she was warmly welcomed, as is often the case for her.Roosevelt devote all his life into politics. “Life” magazine consider her as a hero.文档已经阅读完毕，请返回上一页！。

Not long ago, researchers learned that 4-day-old could understand 27 and subtraction. Now, British research psychologist Graham Schaferhas discovered that infants can learn words for uncommon things long before they can speak. He faired that 9-month-old infants could be taught, through repeated show-and-tell, to 28 the names of objects that were foreign to them, a result that 29 in some ways the received wisdom that, apart from learning to 30 things common to their daily lives, children don't begin to build vocabulary until well into their second year. "It's no 31 that children learn words, but the words they tend to know are words linked to 32 situations in the home," explains Schafer. "This is the Fast demonstration that we can choose what words the children will learn and that they can respond to them with an unfamiliar voice 33 in an unfamiliar setting. "Figuring out how humans acquire language may 34 why some children learn to read and write later than others, Schafer says, and could lead to better treatments for developmental problems. What's more, the study of language 35 offers direct insight into how humans learn. "Language is a test case for human cognitive development," says Schafer. But parents eager to teach their infants should take note: even without being taught new words, a control group 36 the other infants within a few months. "This is not about advancing development," he says. "It's just about what children can do at an earlier age than what educators have often thought. "Part ⅢReading ComprehensionSection ADirections:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Pleasemark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of" the words in the bank more than once.Cell phones provide instant access to people. They are creating a major 37 in the social experiences of both children and adolescents. In one recent U. S. survey, about haft the teens polled said that their cell phone had 38 their communication with friends. Almost all said that, their cell phone was the way they stayed in touch with peers, one-third had used the cell phone to help a peer in need, and about 80% said the phone made them feel safer. Teenagers in Australia, 39 said that their mobile phones provided numerous benefits and were an 40 part of their lives: some were so 41 to their phones that the researchers considered it an addiction. In Japan, too, researchers are concerned about cell phone addiction. Researchers in one study in Tokyo found that more than half of junior high school students used their phones to exchange e-mails with schoolmates more than l0 times a day.Cell phones 42 social connections with peers across time and space. They allow young people to exchange moment-by-moment experiences in their daily lives with special partners and thus to have a more 43 sense of connection with friends. Cell phones also can 44 social tolerance because they reduce children's interactions with others who are different from them. In addition to connecting peers, cell phones connect children and parents. Researchers studying teenagers in Israel concluded that, in that 45 environment, mobile phones were regarded as "security objects" in parent-teen relationships - important because they provided the possibility of 46 and communication at all times.A. affiliatedB. attachedC. contactD. contendE. continuousF. diminishG. enduranceH. fosterI. hazardousJ. improvedK. instant ruinousL. intrinsicM. relativelyN. shiftO. similarlySection BDirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.

Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Waste Not, Want NotFeeding the 9 Billion: The Tragedy of WasteA. By 2075, the United Nations' mid-range projection for global population is about 9.5 billion. This means that there could be an extra three billion mouths to feed by the end of the century, a period in which substantial changes are anticipated in the wealth, calorie intake and dietary preferences of people indeveloping countries across the world. Such a projection presents mankind with wide-ranging social, economic, environmental and political issues that need to be addressed today to ensure a sustainable future for all. One key issue is how to produce more food in a world of finite resources,B. Today, we produce about four billion metric tonnes of food per year. Yet due to poor practices in harvesting, storage and transportation, as well asmarket and consumer wastage, it is estimated that 30-50% of all food produced never reaches a human stomach. Furthermore, this figure does not reflect the fact that large amounts of land, energy, fertilisers and water have also been lost in the production of foodstuffs which simply end up as waste. This level of wastage is a tragedy that cannot continue if we are to succeed in the challenge of sustainably meeting our future food demands.Where Food Waste HappensC. In 2010, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers identified three principal emerging population groups across the world, based on characteristics associated with their current and projected stage of economic development.· Fully developed, mature, post-industrial societies, such as those in Europe, characterised by stable or declining populations which are increasing in age.· Late-stage developing nations that are currently industrialising rapidly, for example China, which will experience declining rates of population growth, coupled with increasing affluence (富裕) and age profile. · Newly developing countries that are beginning to industrialise, primarily in Africa, with high to very high population growth rates, and characterised by apredominantly young age profile.D. Each group over the coming decades will need to address different issues surrounding food production, storage and transportation, as well as consumer expectations, if we are to continue to feed all ore people.E. In less-developed countries, such as those of sub-Saharan Africa and South-East Asia, wastage tends to occur primarily at the farmer-producer end of the supply chain. Inefficient harvesting, inadequate local transportation and poor infrastructure (基础设施) mean that produce is frequently handled inappropriately and stored under unsuitable farm site conditions.F. In mature, fully developed countries such as the UK, more-efficient fanning practices and better transport, storage and processing facilities ensure that a larger proportion of the food produced reaches markets and consumers. However, characteristics associated with modem consumer culture mean produce is often wasted through retail and customer behaviour.G. Major supermarkets, in meeting consumer expectations, will often reject entire crops of perfectly edible fruit and vegetables at the farm because they do not meet exacting marketing standards for their physical characteristics, such as size and appearance.[H] Of the produce that does appear in the supermarket, commonly used sales promotions frequently encourage customers to purchase excessive quantities which, in the case of perishable foodstuffs, inevitably generate wastage in the home. Overall between 30% and 50% of what has been bought in developed countries is thrown away by the purchaser.Better Use of Our Finite Resources[I] Wasting food means losing n9t only life-supportingnutrition but also precious resources, including land, water and energy. As a global society, therefore, tackling food waste will help contribute towards addressing a number of key resource issues.[J] Land Usage: Over the last five decades, improved farming techniques and technologies have helped to significantly increase crop yields along with a 12% expansion of farmed land use. However, a further increase in farming area without impacting unfavourably on what remains of the world's natural ecosystems appears unlikely. The challenge is that an increase in animal-based production will require more land and resources, as livestock (牲畜) farming demands extensive land use.[K] Water Usage: Over the past century, human use of fresh water has increased at more than double the rate of population growth. Currently about 3.8 trillion m3 of water is used by humans per year. About 70% of this is consumed by the global agriculture sector, and the level of use will continue to rise over the coming decades.[L] Better irrigation can dramatically improve crop yield and about 40% of the world's food supply is currently derived from irrigated land. However,water used in irrigation is often sourced unsustainably. In processing foods after the agricultural stage, there are large additional uses of water that need to be tackled in a world of growing demand. This is particularly crucial in the case of meat production, where beef uses about 50 times more water than vegetables. In the future, more effective washing techniques, management procedures, and recycling and purification of water will be needed to reduce wastage.[M] Energy Usage: Energy is an essential resource across theentire food production cycle, with estimates showing an average of 7-10 calories of input being required in the production of one calorie of food. This varies dramatically depending on crop, from three calories for plant crops to 35 calories in the production of beef. Since much of this energy comes from the utilisation of fossil fuels, wastage of food potentially contributes to unnecessary global warming as well as inefficient resource utilisation. [N] In the modem industrialised agricultural process - which developing nations are moving towards in order to increase future yields - energy usage in the making and application of fertilizers and pesticides represents the single biggest component. Wheat production takes 50% of its energy input for these two items alone. Indeed, on a global scale, fertiliser manufacturing consumes about 3-5% of the world's annual natural gas supply. With production anticipated to increase by 25% between now and 2030, sustainable energy sourcing will become an increasingly major issue. Energy to power machinery, both on the farm and in the storage and processing facilities, adds to the energy total, which currently represents about 3.1% of annual global energy consumption.Recommendations[O] Rising population combined with improved nutrition standards and shifting dietary preferences will exert pressure for increases in global food supply. Engineers, scientists and agriculturalists have the knowledge, tools and systems that will assist in achieving productivity increases. However, pressure will grow on finite resources of land, energy and water. The potential to provide 60-100% more food by simply eliminating losses, while simultaneously freeing up land, energy and water resources for other uses, is an opportunity that should not be ignored. Inorder to begin tackling the challenge, the Institution recommends that:· The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation work with the international engineering community to ensure governments of developed nations put in place programmes that transfer engineering knowledge, design know-how, and suitable technology to newly developing countries. This will help improve produce handling in the harvest, and immediate post-harvest stages of food production. · Governments of rapidly developing countries incorporate waste minimisation thinking into the transport infrastructure and storage facilities currently being planned, engineered and built.· Governments in developed nations devise and implement policy that changes consumer expectations. These should discourage retailers from wasteful practices that lead to the rejection of food on the basis of cosmetic characteristics, and losses in the home due to excessive purchasing by consumers.47、 Elimination of waste alone can potentially provide over sixty percent more food for the growing world population.48、The production and application of fertilisers and pesticides account for the largest part of energy use in the modem industrialised agricultural process.49、 Consumers in developed countries throw away nearly half of their food purchases because they tend to buy in excessive quantities.50、It is recommended that engineering knowledge and suitable technology in developed countries be introduced to developing countries to improve produce handling in the harvest.51、The predicted global population growth means that ways have to be found to produce more food with finiteresources.52、 A further expansion of farming area will adversely impact on the world's natural ecosystems.53、 Perfectly eatable fruit and vegetable crops often fail to reach supermarkets due to their size or physical appearance.54、 Poor practices in harvesting, storage and transportation have resulted in a waste of much of the food we produce and thus a waste of land and resources.55、 Food waste in less-developed countries happens mainly at the producers' end.56、Beef consumes far more water to produce than vegetables.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneCall it the "learning paradox" : the more you struggle and even fail while you're trying to learn new information, the better you're likely to recall and apply that information later.The learning paradox is at the heart of "productive failure," a phenomenon identified by researcher Manu Kapur. Kapur points out that while the model adopted by many teachers when introducing students to new knowledge - providing lots of structure and guidance early on, until the students show that they can do it on their own - makes intuitive sense, it may not be the best way to promote learning. Rather, it's better to let the learners wrestle (较劲) with the material on their own for a while,refraining from giving them any assistance at the start. In a paper published recently, Kapur applied the principle of productive failure to mathematical problem solving in three schools.With one group of students, the teacher provided strong"scaffolding" - instructional support - and feedback. With the teacher's help, these pupils were able to find the answers to their set of problems. Meanwhile, a second group was directed to solve the same problems by collaborating with one another, without any prompts from their instructor. These students weren't able to complete the problems correctly. But in the course of trying to do so, they generated a lot of ideas about the nature of the problems and about what potential solutions would look like. And when the two groups were tested on what they'd learned, the second group"significantly outperformed" the first.The apparent struggles of the floundering (挣扎的) group have what Kapur calls a "hidden efficacy" : they lead people to understand the deep structure of problems, not simply their correct solutions. When these students encounter a new problem of the same type on a test, they're able to transfer the knowledge they've gathered more effectively than those who were the passive recipients of someone else's expertise.In the real world, problems rarely come neatly packaged, so being able to discern their deep structure is key. But, Kapur notes, none of us like to fail, no matter how often Silicon Valley entrepreneurs praise the beneficial effects of an idea that fails or a start-up company that crashes and burns. So we need to " design for productive failure" by building it into the learning process. Kapur has identified three conditions that promote this kind of beneficial struggle. First, choose problems to work on that"challenge but do not frustrate. " Second, provide learners with opportunities to explain and elaborate on what they're doing. Third, give learners the chance to compare and contrast good and bad solutions to the problems. And to those students who protest this tough-love teaching style: you'll thank me later.57、 Why does the author call the learning process a paradox?A. Pains do not necessarily lead to gains.B.

But Monsanto, the agricultural giant, insists it has a patent on the kind of genetically modified seeds Bowman used - and that the patent continues to all of the progeny (后代) of those seeds.Have we really gotten to the point that planting a seed can lead to a high-stakes Supreme Court patent lawsuit? We have, and that case is Bowman vs. Monsanto, which is being argued on Tuesday. Mousanto's critics have attacked the company for its "merciless legal battles against small farmers," and they are hoping this will be the case that puts it in its place. They are also hoping the court's ruling will rein in patent law, which is increasingly being used to claim new life forms as private property. Monsanto and its supporters, not surprisingly, see the case very differently. They argue that when a company like Monsanto goes to great expense to create a valuable new genetically modified seed, it must be able to protect its property interests. If farmers like Bowman are able to use these seeds without paying the designated fee, it will remove the incentives for companies like Monsanto to innovate.Monsanto accused Bowman of patent infringement and won an $ 84,456 damage award. Rather than pay up or work out a settlement, Bowman decided to appeal - all the way to the Supreme Court. He said "Monsanto should not be able, just because they've got billions of dollars to spend on legal fees, totry to terrify farmers into obeying their agreements by massive force and threats. "The central issue in the case is whether patent rights to living things extend to the progeny of those things. Monsanto argues that its patents extend to later generations. But Bowman's supporters argue that Monsanto is trying to expand the scope of patents in ways that would enrich big corporations and hurt small farmers. They say that ff Monsanto wins, the impact will extend far beyond agriculture - locking up property rights in an array of importantareas. Knowledge Ecology International contends that the Supreme Court's ruling could have "profound effects" on other biotech industries. If this were a Hollywood movie, the courageous old Indiana farmer would beat the profit-minded corporation before the credits rolled. But this is a real-life argument before a Supreme Court that has a well-earned reputation for looking out for the interests of large corporations. This case gives the court an opportunity to rein in the growing use of patents to protect genetically engineered crops and other life forms - but the court may well use it to give this trend a powerful new endorsement.62、 Why did Vernon Bowman get sued?A. He used genetically modified seeds to feed his cattle.B. He planted soybeans without paying for the patent.C. He made a profit out of Monsanto's commercial secrets.D. He obtained Monsanto's patented seeds by illegal means.63、 What are Monsanto's critics hoping the Supreme Court will do?A. Allow small farmers to grow genetically modified soybeans.。

中国海洋大学大英3口语Unit 1 Caring for Our Earth“If it exists, it must be possible”, asserts Amory Lovins, co-founder and chief scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute think tank. He is talking about my company. Fellow industrialists, I dare say, thought my ambition impossible to realize when fourteen years ago I described my aspirations for Interface Inc. to turn into what it actually is becoming today. Indeed, around then, the CEO of a major competitor looked at me in the eye, and said, “Ray, you are a dreamer.” Yet, as Amory says, “If it exists …”The “impossible” that exists today is a petroleum-intensive carpet manufacturer (for both energy and raw material) that has reduced net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 88 percent, in absolute tons, and its water usage by 79 percent since 1996, even as sales have grown by two-thirds and earnings have doubled. In 1994 Interface set out on a mission “to be the first industrial company that, by its deeds, shows the entire industrial world what sustainability is, in all its dimensions: people, process, product, profit, and place.” Our definition of sustainability is to operate our petro- intensive company so as to take from the Earth only that which is naturally and rapidly renewable, and to do no harm to the biosphere.Cumulatively, we have avoided $372 million in costs by eliminating waste, in a quest that is half way to achieving waste-free perfection by 2020. We define waste as any cost that does not add value for our customers. This translates ambitiously into doing everything right the first time, every time. We even define energy that still comes from fossil fuels as waste, something to be eliminated. Indeed, while offsets have a critical role to play inhelping Interface (and, indeed, all of us) to reach our sustainability goals, we will not achieve them until we begin to redefine fossil fuel energy in this way. Sounds incredible? Remember, “If it exists …”1.What types of energy are popular in your country? For example, coal, gas, nuclear power. Whatdoes your house or apartment use?Coal and gas. We usually get heat by burning coal in winter although it’not a n environmental way. And natural gas is alsoa good choice to cook.2.Does your community offer a recycling program? Do you think recycling is an importantservice for communities to provide? Why or why not?Yes, they provide us green bins and call on us to sort and recycle as well as reuse. And they also offer a recycling program.I think recycling is an important service for communities to provide. Thanks to it, we don’t have any more unnecessary waste.3.In your opinion, what can cities like Beijing and Qingdao do to improve their air quality?(1)plant more trees to purify air.(2)limit private vehicles and call on people to use more public transportations.(3)make laws and reduce industrial emission to a minimum.4.How are products packaged in our country? For example, how do you usually buy milk,electronic equipment and clothing? Are they good for our earth? Why or why not?In our country, most products are packaged with plastic or paper wrapper.But they are not good for our earth. Because plastic bags can not disappear by natural decomposition.Ifpeople throw away plastic bags, it’ll ca use the white pollution to our environment. If plastic bags are burned , they will fill air with toxic fumes. Many trees also disappear as a result of paper wrapper’s overusing.5.Do you agree that our country will be short of fresh water in the future? Why or why not?NO, I don’t agree. Although there are some rivers polluted with the developing of our country, the government has make laws and try their best to stop pollution. And we will see the effect several years.6.What should be done in order to prevent the climate change?Climate change is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. In order to prevent the climate change, we must reduce the emission of these gases. So we can plant more trees and develop new energy like windy energy or solar energy to replace traditional fossil fuels.Section Two Please have a group discussion on the following topic:Global warming may be the most harmful environmental problem human beings have created. Please discuss its causes, consequences and what we can do to reduce it.It is caused by the greenhouse effect. The sun heats the earth surface, the earth radiates the energy back out into space, so the radiation gets trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases. This trapped radiation warms the atmosphere, and so it goes back down to the earth, making it hotter than normal. This is greenhouse effect. This effect is caused by greenhouse gases like methane and CO2 in stratosphere. Because of human activities and especially theburning of the fossil fuels.Global warming can bring many disasters. For example, droughts, hurricanes, bushfires, shrinking polar ice and coastal flooding. Ice cap’s melting, sea level’s rising, means cities such like London, New York, Sydney and T okyo will be soon merged.So we can plant more trees and develop new energy like windy energy or solar energy to replace traditional fossil fuels.Unit 2 Nobel Prize WinnersAlbert Einstein was more than just curious though. He had the patience and determination that kept him at things longer than most others. Other children would build houses of cards up to 4 stories tall before the cards would lose balance and the whole structure would come falling down. Maja watched in wonder as her brother Albert methodically built his card buildings to 14 stories. Later he would say, “It?s not that I?m so smart, it?s just that I stay with problems longer.”One advantage Albert Einstein?s developing mind enjoyed was the opportunity to communicate with adults in an intellectual way. His uncle, an engineer, would come to the house, and Albert would join in the discussions. His thinking was also stimulated by a medical student who came over once a week for dinner and livelychats.At age 12, Albert Einstein came upon a set of ideas that impressed him as “holy.” It was a little book on Euclidean plane geometry. The concept that one could prove theorems of angles and lines that were in no way obvious made an “indescribable impression” on the young student. He adopted mathematics as the tool he would use to pursue his curiosity and prove what he would discover about the behavior of theuniverse.He was convinced that beauty lies in the simplicity. Perhaps this insight was the real power of his genius. Albert Einstein looked for the beauty of simplicity in theapparently complex nature and saw truths that escaped others. While the expression of his mathematics might be accessible to only a few sharp minds in the science, Albert could condense the essence of his thoughts so anyone could understand.7.Have you ever thought to win a big prize in the future, and what do you plan to do to achievethe goal?Yes, I have. To achieve the goal, I plan to study hard to get my master degree and then go aboard for further study as well as PHD.8.How many Nobel Prize Winners do you know? Who do you admire most? Why?KofiAnnan(peace)，AlbertEinstain(physicis), MoYan(literature)，MarieCurie(chemistry) MoYan is the first Noble Prize winner who come from China. I think all of the Chinese are proud of him.9.What would you do if you were awarded the Nobel Prize?When I get the prize, I would be very famous and rich. I thinkI will go further on my study’s way.10.What do you think is the most important quality of a successful scientist?First，good scientists have the passion of exploring science. Second, they always work with careful and practical attitude. The last but not the least，they are very smart，talent is very important.11.Einstein once said: “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.”How do you understand this statement?We study and learn constantly day after day like keeping move by bike. But one day, if we don’t learn new things, we will be abandoned by the world we had sought for.12.How could you find the beauty of simplicity in the apparently complex nature? Could you givesome examples?It is important to view the nature scene with the appreciative mind.For instance,I would appreciate my surroundings when I’m relaxed and happy,but on the contrary,I would ignore the things around me.What preparations should a university student make for future success?First, they must work hard and finish their study with excellent achievement. Second, they can develop some interests or master some skills as an advantage in their future’s competition. Third, they must make many friends for their future.Unit 3 Famous Brand NamesPart I Read the following passage aloud.American mothers have long believed that when it comes to washing out the mouths of naughty children, nothing beats Ivory Soap. This is because its reputation for being safe, mild, and pure is as solid and spotless as themarble of the Lincoln Memorial. It doesn?t even taste all that bad. And should you drop it into a tubful of cloudy, child-colored water, not to worry — it floats.Ivory Soap is an American institution, about as widely recognized as the Washington Monument and far more wellrespected than Congress. It had already attained this noble status when Theodore Roosevelt was still a rough-riding cowboy in North Dakota. Introduced in 1879 as an inexpensive white soap intended to rival the quality of imported soaps, it was mass marketed by means of one of the first nationwide advertising campaigns. People were told that Ivory was “so pure that it floats,” and the notion took hold. As a re sult, at least half a dozen generations of Americans have gotten themselves clean with Ivory.So many hands, faces, and baby bottoms have been washed with Ivory that their numbers beat the imagination. Not even Proctor & Gamble knows how many billions of bars of Ivory have been sold. The company keeps a precise count, however, of the billions of dollars it earns. Annual sales of Ivory Soap, Ivory Snow, Crest toothpaste, Folger?s coffee, and the hundreds of other products now marketed under the Proctor & Gamble umbrella exceed thirty billion dollars.13.Can you name some famous brands? Why do people like them?Nike，Anta，LV，Lenovo，Toshiba…There are many reasons why any people like the famous brand. First，the famous brand products have the high quality and safety. Second，the famous brands always represent the good status. Third，famous brands company have the promise to repair the products if there are something wrong with the products14.Do you think college students should pursue famous brands? Why or why not?I don’t support it. Because we don’t make money by ourselves now，and we can’t waste themoney. And the corre ct shopping style should be that“buying what we need，what have the high quality with a good price”15.Some famous brands have a very long history. Why are they so popular among generations ofpeople?First, they have high quality. Second, the first impression is the strongest, so the famous brands with a very long history give us deep impressions that they are best. Third, many businessman see the honesty like their lives, so they are popular among people.16.How can a national famous brand build its name in a foreign country?For example，for the Haier company. First，the leader made a right strategy. Second，they sold they products with high qualities and function in a low price to attract consumers to buy their products. Third，they innovate some new products that other manufacturers don’t have.17.Why do many people choose pirated stuff of famous brands instead of the genuine? What doyou think of it?Many people can’t afford the expensive famous brand, but they want to buy them to show that they are in fashion and have the high social status. According to the psychology of the consumers ，manufacturer made the piracy of famous brand and sold them at a low price，so they can earn a lot of money.18.According to you, what kind of things are worth spending money on?I think that something we really need are worth spending money on .We also can spend money on something we cherish or love.What are the secrets of business success?First, products with high qualities. Second, an honest attitude towards the consumers. Third, good innovation ability. Last, united staff.Unit 4Cloning and EthicsAntinori shot to fame seven years ago helping grandmothers give birth using donor eggs. Later he pioneered the use of mice to nurture the sperm of men with poor fertility. He is clearly no ordinary scientist but a showman who thrives on controversy and pushing reproductive biology to the limits. And that of course is one reason why he?s seen as being so dangerous.However, his idea of using cloning to combat infertility is not as mad as it sounds. Many people have a hard job seeing the point of reproductive cloning. But for some couples, cloning represents the only hope of having a child carrying their genes, and scientists like Antinori are probably right to say that much of our opposition to cloning as a fertility treatment is irrational. In future we may want to change our minds and allow it in special circumstances.But only when the science is ready. And that?s the real problem. Five years on from Dolly, the science of cloning is still stuck in the dark ages. The failure rate is a shocking 97 percent and deformed babies all too common. Even when cloning works, nobody understands why. So forget the complex moral arguments. To begin cloning people now, before even the most basic questions have been answered, is simply a waste of time and energy.This is not o say that Antinori will fail, only that if he succeeds it is likely to be at an unacceptably high price. Hundreds of eggs and embryos will be wasted and lots of women will go through difficult pregnancies resulting in miscarriages or abortions.A few years from now techniques will have improved and the wasteful loss won?t be as excessive. But right now there seems to be little anyone can do to keep the cloners at bay.1.Do you want a clone of yourself? Explain.Yes, I want clones of myself. Then, they can do everything for me. One go to school and one earn money, others can play computer games with me or do other things.2.What kind of people are in favor of cloning science?The people who can’t have a baby by pregnancy. Th e scientists who want to find a way to translate the organ by the cloning science to help the patients.3.Do you think a cloned Einstein would be a great person? Why or why not?NO, a cloned person only have the same gene as the body. What matters they will be a great man or not are not only gene, but also the surrounding they live, the things they face, the education they have and so on. So a cloned Einstein would not be a great man4.Do you think cloning is against ethics? Why or why not?Yes, I do. Cloning against traditional way of having a baby. And it will challenge the traditional view on ethics. Also the cloning baby may be the hot topics among people.5.Can cloning prolong people's life? Why or why not?Yes, it can. When we get hurt or serious disease, our bad organs will be replaced by clones.6.Should we legalize cloning? Why or why not?NO,Cloning people violate ['vai?leit]违背the ethics['eθiks]伦理.Second，the successful probability of cloning is very low，and the cloning animals have the short life.What’s mor e,there are many unknown problems we don’t know if the cloning babycome to the world.What are the pros and cons of cloning?Pros ：help couples who can’t pregnant to have babies.Protecting the endangered animals to increase their population.Finding new ways to cure some diseases.Cons：high cost ，against nature，the technique is not perfect now…Unit 5 Lifelong EducationI?d like to take some calculus, too. I have absolutely no ability in that direction and not much interest, either, but there?s something going on in mathematics that I don?t understand, and I?d like to find out what it is. My report cards won?t be mailed to my father and mother, so I won?t have to worry about marks. I bet I?ll do better than when they were mailed.There are some literar y classics I ought to read and I never will, unless I?m forced to by a good professor, so I?ll take a few courses in English literature. I took a course that featured George Gordon Byron, usually referred to now as “Lord Byron”, and I?d like to take that o ver again. I did very well in it the first time. I actually read all of Don Juan and have never gotten over how great it was. I know I could get an A in that if I took it over. I?d like to have a few easy courses.My history is very weak, and I?d want several history courses. I?m not going to break my back over them, but I?d like to be refreshed about the broad outline of history. When someone says sixteenth century to me, I?d like to be able to associate it with some names and events. This is just a li ttle conversational conceit, but that?s life.If I can find a good teacher, I?d certainly want to go back over English grammar and usage. He?d have to be good, because youmight not think so sometimes, but I know a lot about using the language. Still, there are times when I?m stumped. I was wondering the other day what part of speech the w ord “please” is in the sentence, “Please don?t take me seriously.”1.Do you think education is important in your life? Can you cite some examples to illustrate yourviewpoint?Yes. First, we can get advantage from it when seek for jobs. Second, the education we get in schools will influence us all one’s life.2.Is college education the only way to success? Is it worth the price?No, it is not the only way to success. Man y people who don’t have college education have succeeded. For example, Yao Ming, who is a famous star without college education. Jay chou also succeed without college education. They succeed because of their talent and opportunity. But as for ordinary people, they need go to success by college education.3.If you had chance to continue learning after graduation, what subject do you like to choose?Why?P hilosophy. I think it’s a very mysterious course. It can help us to form cosmis view and expand our thought.4.Is college education satisfactory from your own experience?I am satisfied with my college life. I have many freedom to do what I like，and I havelearned a lot from the class, and I also attracted by some courses.5.Do you think college education means more than study?I think the college education contains a lot. First, we needstudy to get the professionalknowledge，but we also need to learn how to cooperate with others. We should take part in some activities to get some skills and enrich our minds.6.There are some graduates going to the technical school to study again. What do you think ofthat?I think it is not a good phenomenon, this scene will lead more students to give up going tocollege instead technical school.For what purpose(s) would an adult return to college? What do you think of this?First, to finish their college dreams. Many people dropped out because of poverty in that time, and now, they can afford. Second, some people want to get more knowledge and improve their ability.Unit 6 Travel around the worldShe knows every nook and cranny in and around Cairo — no easy feat. Cairo with its complex system of streets and lanes, its quarters and markets is like a labyrinth invented by ancient storytellers. Hundreds of mosques —many of which are masterpieces of Islamic architecture, old neighborhoods with houses boxed together, huge apartment buildings on the outskirts and the Nile calmly running through it; all are part of this overcrowded city.With a mild sense of humor around a deep core of understanding of human nature, Nagat takes control of my sightseeing schedule. Every morning punctually at nine o?clock, I c an depend on seeing her short, solid frame outside the hotel lobby, her round face turning into a big smile as soon as she seesme coming down the stairs. Most every day, she wears an earth tone-colored Jellaba. Her movements are energetic and she doesn?t waste any time. Her determined approach seems to have grown on a bed of economy, on the necessity to get as much done as she possibly can.What becomes clear to me soon as she drives me from museum to pyramid, from one part of town to the opposite, is this: she is a true exception here. Wherever we stop, be it for a cup of tea during a break or upon arriving at a historical site where her male colleagues gather in the parking area —everywhere, she is being noticed. Men walk up to her in the car with questioning faces. As she tells me, they all have one question first of all: “Are you a taxi driver?” She then explains in a few short sentences, and I see the men?s faces soften, smile and respectfully and kindly chat with her. This scene repeats itself over and over again. I get the sense that she invites goodwill from the people she meets.1.What attracts you most when you visit a new place?Food, I prefer delicious food to scenery2.People travel for various reasons. Please talk about some of them.Traveling can help us release the pressure. And we can know many different culture via visiting the place. And it’s a good way to feel the glamour ['ɡl?m?]魅力of the nature3.What is your favorite way of travelling, alone or in a group? Why?I think go travelling alone have more freedom, I can do what I like. But I think grouptravel is more interesting，because we can share the happiness with our friends anytime，and if we meet sometroubles，we can solve it together and take care of each other.4.Introduce a tourist attraction that you have beenThe most beautiful place I have been is Zhangjiajie in Hunan province. The scenery is really good，and there are many strange mountains which will give you a big shock.5.If you had $1000, where would you go on holiday? How about if you had $10,000, or$100,000？If I have 1000$, I will go to Hong Kong. $10000, European, $100000, around the world. 6.Which scenic spot do you think can best represent the culture or lifestyle of your hometown?Why?My hometown is Lan Zhou, what represent the culture of it is that : A river, the yellow river is citizen’s mother river. A book, a magazine named READER. A bowel of beef noodles.A lot of people after travelling often say: Travelling means sort of suffering. That implies they don?t eat well, slee p well, and they are very tired on the trip. Do you agree with it ? Give your reasons and explain.Unit 7 Drug AbuseIt was 3 a.m., and most of the men had been up since the morning before. But none of them would sleep that night either. They had a big day ahead of them. Hours earlier, White had been in his office, preparing warrants. Meanwhile, the New Haven Airport had quietly filled with federal agents, flying in from New York and Washington, DC. They had then gathered at the western corner of the ci ty. The team?s field headquarters that night would be an empty building on the very edge of town. The 300-man team of federal agents, state police, and local police had gathered to discuss the next step in the war on drugs.White listened as his friend Kevin Kline, an FBI special agent and one of the original members of the task force, was speaking to the law enforcement army. Kline laid out the battle plan for the morning?s drug bust: the agents were to organize themselves into squads, forming arrest teams and back-up crews. The teams assigned to carry out raids received arrest packets containing the names, addresses, and photographs of all the suspects, as well as search warrants issued by the federal court. At 5:30 a.m., the teams were to split up, each reporting to their designated sites to prepare for the final stage of the operation: making the arrests.As he listened, White asked himself the same question that everyone else in the room must have been thinking. Could the team pull off a successful bust? Born and raised in New Haven, White still remembered a time when New Haven was considered a peaceful town. In 1960, only six murders, four rapes, and 16 robberies were reported. But soon, the drug gangs set up shop, and the turf wars began. With the gangs came gang violence: drive-by shootings, innocent victims killed, murders in broad daylight. In 1990, there were 31 murders, 168 rapes, and 1 784 robberies. “Back then it was hell,” White recalls. “I thought, …What are we doing??”1.What do you know about drugs and drug abuse?Some people are able to use recreational or prescription drugs without ever experiencing negative consequences or addiction.

This is where you must define the problem(s) for your friend.2.Take action! Your friend must decide to stop using drugs. Only he/she can do that. People are motivated by either pleasure or pain.
