新标准大学英语综合教程3课后练习答案-Unit-3

Unit 3Language points1 For lack of a better terminology, one might name these: (1) the sensuous plane, (2) the expressive plane, (3) the sheerly musical plane. (Para 1) The expression for lack of a better terminology is used to introduce rather inexact terms. It means since we don’t have any exact terms, I’m going to use these rather rough terms.The word sensuous suggests physical pleasure which relates to your physical senses rather than to your emotions and thoughts.A plane is a level of thought, development or existence.The word sheer is used to emphasize the amount or degree of something. The sheerly musical plane refers to the level of the musical material, melodies, rhythms, harmonies etc. The sheer pleasure (Para 2, Line 2) means great or pure pleasure.2 The only advantage to be gained from mechanically splitting up the listening process into these hypothetical planes is … (Para 1)The word hypothetical means to be based on situations or events that seem possible rather than on actual ones. Here, the planes are not real, theyare just part of a model for analysis and discussion.3 One turns on the radio while doing something else and absent-mindedly bathes in the sound. A kind of brainless but attractive state of mind is engendered by the mere sound appeal of the music. (Para 2)To bathe means to swim or wash yourself in a bath, river or lake. To bathein the sound means to immerse yourself in the sound, like in water.To engender means to cause a feeling or attitude to exist. The expression engendered by the mere sound appeal means to be created only by the appealor attraction of the sound.4 Music allows them to leave it ... dreaming because of and apropos of the music yet never quite listening to it. (Para 3)The expression apropos of means relating to; it is used to introduce something else about the subject you are talking about. The expression is derived from French, and the final -s is silent in pronunciation.5 ... but you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest. The sensuous plane is an important one in music ... but it does not constitute the whole story. (Para 4)To usurp means to take a job or position that belongs to someone elsewithout having the right to do this.The sentence you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest means don’t let it take up a wrong amount of your interest. The expression it does not constitute the whole story means there is more to it than this.6 Here, immediately, we tread on controversial ground. (Para 5)The expression we tread on controversial ground contains a metaphor: These are ideas that some people will probably disagree about or not approve of.7 Composers have a way of shying away from any discussion of music’s expressive side. (Para 5)To shy away from something means to avoid someone or be unwilling to do something because you are nervous, afraid or not confident.8 Is it pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad? (Para 6)The word resignedly means with resignation, accepting that something unpleasant must happen or that you cannot change it. The whole sentence gives nuances – shades of meaning – of different kinds of sadness: sadness which has a feeling of pessimism (things are bad and we can’t change them easily), sadness to which we may feel resigned – we accept it, sadness that we feel is part of our fate –we can’t avoid it and it is part of our life, and sadness that also has humour, so we smile even though we feel sad.9 It is very important for all of us to become more alive to music on its sheerly musical plane. (Para 9)To become / be alive to something means to know that something is happening and realize how important it is.10 After all, an actual musical material is being used ... He must hearthe melodies, the rhythms, the harmonies, the tone colors in a more conscious fashion. (Para 9)The musical materials refer to the elements of music, usually discussed under the headings of melody (the tune), rhythm (the effects of time or duration of the beats of music, the pulse), harmony (how the notes of music combine with each other in chords or sequences of notes), tone color (how the precise sound of notes can vary), and form (how the music is organized with all the elements and patterns of repetition and variation).11 Perhaps an analogy with what happens to us when we visit the theaterwill make this instinctive correlation clearer. (Para 11)An analogy is a comparison between two situations, processes etc, that isintended to show that the two are similar. That the two things are analogous means the same things are true of or relevant to both of them.Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 to make up or form something (constitute)2 happening or done at the same time (simultaneously)3 able to do something because you have the knowledge, skill, or experience that is needed (qualified)4 a regular pattern of sounds in music that you can show by moving, hitting your hands together, or hitting a drum or other surface (rhythm)5 to receive or obtain something from something else (derive)6 someone who writes music, especially classical music (composer)7 as much as is needed (sufficiently)5 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 4. Johann Sebastian Bach is possibly the greatest (1) composer the world has ever known. His Well-Tempered Clavichord (2) constitutes one of the most complete works for keyboard ever written. It is (3) simultaneously both a series of technical exercises which explore the possibilities of the keyboard, and a masterpiece of expressive feeling. Although he was a highly (4) qualified musician (as an organist and a choirmaster), he was not considered to be (5) sufficiently “modern” by the generation which followed him, and he was soon forgotten. But his music was rediscovered in the 19th century, for its perfect sense of (6) rhythm and harmony. Indeed, many of the great composers of the 20th century, such as Stravinsky, (7) derived a lot of their musical ideas from him.6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words and expressions in the box. You may need to make other changes.1 Shh! They’re about to announce the winner of this year’s International Piano Competition. (proclaim)2 It’s quite easy t o make a comparison between poetry and music. (analogy) It’s quite easy to make an analogy between poetry and music.3 We are amazed by her ability to express herself with great clearness and simplicity. (clarity)4 How many artists have given up everything for the cause of their art?(for the sake of)5 Internet emerges as a powerful and effective force in advertising new products. (potent)6 I enjoyed the performance, but I thought the clothes the actors were wearing were a bit silly. (costumes)7 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 If you split something up, do you (a) divide it into parts, or (b) put the parts together?2 If you do something absent-mindedly, are you (a) thinking about what you are doing, or (b) thinking about something else?3 Do you look for consolation (a) after a piece of bad news, or (b) after a piece of good news?4 If you are treading on controversial ground, are you (a) taking a risk, or (b) making everybody happy?5 If you shy away from something, do you (a) keep close to it, or (b) keep your distance from it?6 If you pin something down, are you (a) able to examine it carefully, or(b) unable to examine it carefully?7 If you know the melody of a piece of music, are you familiar with (a) the tune, or (b) the meaning of the music?8 Is an instinctive reaction to something (a) automatic, or (b) one which follows a lot of thought?Reading and interpreting8 Work in pairs and choose the best answer to the questions.1 Which is the writer’s main purpose?(a) To show how complex listening to music is.(b) To get people to listen to music more.(c) To discourage some people from listening to music.(d) To get people to think about how they listen to music.2 Who does the writer address as you?(a) Musicians.(b) Theatregoers.(c) Composers.(d) Intelligent music lovers.9 Check (¸) the statements you agree with.√ 1 The analysis the writer makes is a fair and accurate one.Yes, I think this is a reasonable analysis of listening to music.2 He describes the sensuous listener in negative terms.He does mention some negative aspects of sensuous listening but he says several times that we listen in all three ways, so I don’t think he is actually negative about this way.√ 3 He thinks all great music is expressive.He doesn’t actually say this, but this seems to be his point of view.4 He thinks most listeners are not intelligent enough.No, he doesn’t say this. He says most listeners are not conscious enoughof the third plane, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t intelligent.√ 5 He is probably a professional musician.I guess this is true because of his knowledge of Stravinsky and Bach, andhis insights into the effective way of listening to music.√ 6 He is probably a good teacher.I think so because of his way of explaining the three planes and because of the way he uses the analogy of the theatre, which non-musician might appreciate.Active reading (2)Language points1 We know his work includes paintings of religious and mythological themes, domestic interiors and landscapes. (Para 2)Domestic interiors are the inside of households with the rooms, furniture and decorations.Landscapes are paintings of an area of land, showing the scenery sometimes with people but the focus mostly on nature.2 While Griet goes about her duties, she attracts the attention not onlyof a butcher’s boy, Pieter, but also of the painter himself. (Para 6)To go about her duties means to do the work that she is supposed to do. Being on duty means to be working at the moment; being off duty means to be not working at the moment.3 Despite their different backgrounds and class, he invites her into his studio and engages her in his world. (Para 6)To engage her in his world means to help her to take an interest,understand or take part in what he does.4 Vermeer recognizes Griet as having visual talent and artistic promise,and takes her on as his studio assistant. (Para 7)The expression she has artistic promise means she shows the sign that sheis likely to be successful as an artist in the future.5 Her role is to grind paints and develop the colours which Vermeer willuse for his paintings ...(Para 7)To grind paints means to break something into very small pieces or powderby crushing it between two surfaces or using a machine. In Vermeer’s time, artists made their own paints by grinding up different colours and mixingthe powder with water or other substances. This task was often done by an apprentice or assistant.6 Catharina has long been forbidden to enter the studio, so the apprenticeship takes place in secret. (Para 7)The apprenticeship refers to employment as an apprentice to work for someone, or a company, usually for low pay, in order to learn the type of work they do. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was normal for people to learn how to be an artist by serving as an apprenticeship.7 The film shows very effectively the tension ... for the portrait commissioned by his patron. (Para 12)To commission means to ask someone officially to do some work for you. Commissioning a work of ar t means asking the artist to produce a particularwork of art in exchange for payment Dealing with unfamiliar words 5 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 someone who looks at a picture, photograph, or piece of art (viewer)2 a painting, drawing or photograph of someone, especially of their faceonly (portrait)3 relating to people’s homes and family life (domestic)4 the inside part of something, especially a building or vehicle (interior)5 as a result (consequently)6 to start to employ someone or use their services (engage)7 to officially ask for a piece of work to be done for you (commission)6 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 5. In the beginning it was only the rich and famous who had their (1)portraits painted. But from the Renaissance onwards things changed. Firstly, the growing importance of the middle classes led many ordinary people to (2) commission paintings, often of members of their family. Secondly, artists became interested in showing scenes of (3) domestic life, set in the (4) interiors of ordinary houses, and (5) consequently they began to (6) engage ordinary people, such as servant girls, as models. Part of the mystery for(7) viewers today concerns the identity of these models, in masterpieces suc h as Leonardo’sMona Lisa and Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring.Additional activity7 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words and expressions in the box.1 He changed his religion from Protestantism and became a Catholic. (converted)2 One of the assistant’s jobs was to break into a powder the paints. (grind)3 The newspaper started to change the fact so that it was no longer true ever since it existed, and the localgovernment was definitely one of the victims. (distort)4 You do n’t have to make a hole in your ears to be able to wear these earrings. (pierce)5 The lives of artists have often been linked to shocking events and situations. (scandals)6 One of the most striking aspects of the painting is the turban she is wearing on her head. (features)7 I’ll finish the painting this evening, so from now until then you can have a break. (in the meantime)8 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 Are exotic clothes likely to be (a) ordinary, or (b) unusual?2 Is a sitter someone who (a) is being painted, or (b) spends a lot of time sitting down?3 Is a conventional sense of beauty one which is (a) shared and understood by most people, or (b) different from what is shared and understood by most people?4 Is an enigmatic expression one which is full of (a) good humour, or (b) mystery?5 If you have a volatile personality, do you get angry (a) quickly, or (b) only when you can’t tolerate?6 If you are wary of something, are you (a) excited about it, or (b)careful and nervous about it?7 If you show something explicitly, do you (a) make its meaning very clear so there is no doubt about it, or (b) leave its meaning unclear?8 If a woman tries to keep her modesty, does she (a) cover her hair and body to avoid any sexual feeling in men, or (b) talk and act with goodgrace?9 Is jealousy the feeling you get when you think someone you love (a) is attracted to somebody else, or (b) doesn’t love you any more?

Listen to each theme, one after another. You will soon realize that each theme mirrors a different world of feeling. You will also soon realize that the more beautiful a theme seems to you the harder it is to find any word that will describe it to your complete satisfaction. Yes, you will certainly know whether it is a gay theme or a sad one. You will be able, in other words, in your own mind, to draw a frame of emotionalfeeling around your theme. Now study the sad one a little closer. Try to pin down the exact quality of its sadness. Is it pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad?可能的话,你不妨听听巴赫的《平均律钢琴曲集》中的48个赋格主题。

Unit 3 Social ProblemsIn-class Reading Passage课内阅读练习答案Part One Preparation1. Describing the PicturesPicture A:A couple is dining at a restaurant. Both of them are smoking. But they call and complain to the waiter, saying that those sitting at the other tables are coughing too much andthat bothers them. However, they have not realized that actually it is their smokingthat has caused those people to cough. I have seen many people who behave like thiscouple. They never take other people’s interest into consideration. They are selfish andalways ready to find fault with others. They never see their own wrong doings butalways make a false counter-charge. They are despised by most other people. Picture B: In this picture I see a strange beggar. While most beggars beg for food or drinks, this guy begs for money in order to buy wines. He wants to try all the 596,704 winesexisting in this world. He said he already tasted 38,279 wines out of that number.Suppose he tries one kind of wine one day, it would have taken him more than 100years to come so far. He is really an ambitious man. However, if he has the ambitionto try all the existing wines, he should work hard and make money himself instead ofbegging for other people’s money to enjoy what life can offer. There are some peoplelike this beggar these days. They want to enjoy life, but not based on their own hardwork or effort. They want a free lunch and many of them live on borrowed money. Idon’t think this is a good attitude towards life. Everyone should work hard to make agood living.Picture C: I see a court with a judge, a defendant and probably a lawyer in the picture. What is strange about this picture is that I find a tip pot, which is usually placed in a restaurantfor waiters or waitress. They get tips for their excellent services to their customers.Waiters or waitresses who get generous tips will provide even better service tocustomers. However, a court is a place for people to seek justice and fairness. Itpunishes the guilty and releases the innocent. If judges start to take tips, I doubt thatthere will be any more justice. People will no longer be treated equally and truth willnot be valued. Judgment will not be made based on facts, but on how big the tip is.What an evil place!Picture D: In this picture I see two men behind bars. One is telling his fellow prisoner that he did not commit the crimes that he had been accused of committing. His mistake was thathe stole the identity of a guy who had committed those crimes. The police took himfor that guy and put him in jail. They actually got the wrong person. And he wasinnocent. Was he really innocent? I don’t think so. He was a thief, and he was notinnocent at all. However, he received a heavier punishment than he deserved. So thatwas an irony. The guy stole another person’s identity and in a sense he inherited hiscrimes as well. So never take other people’s stuff, whatever it is. No one can escapepunishment.2. Interview time—the most intolerable behavior(s) in public places--I have interviewed 5 classmates, two girls and three boys. I asked each of them to list three intolerable behaviors in public places. Three of them said speaking loudly in the library was the most intolerable behavior. Library is a quiet place for students to read and do their homework. If someone speaks loudly, most of them feel interrupted and disturbed. It is hard for them to concentrate on their studies any longer. Other intolerable behaviors include knocks at a dormitory door at midnight asking about homework due the next day, someone not taking bath for a long time, letting pets pee everywhere, smoking, wearing clothes that cover very little of the body, being late for classes, banging doors, and making big noises while eating.--I asked 6 students what they thought were the most intolerable behaviors in public places. It seems that public display of love (kissing in public places and video talk with boyfriends in dorm) ranks the first. It makes those who have no boyfriend or girlfriend feel pathetic about themselves and it also makes roommates unable to concentrate on studies. Other intolerable behaviors are playing computer games in the dormitory, riding bicycles in the wrong direction, spitting, taking off one’s shoes, picking flowers from a park, shaking legs, pretending to understand others, leaving dirty clothes in the bathroom for days, doing morning exercises before 6 o’clock, jumping the queue, and letting young children pee or poo on street3. Conference on Social ProblemsChinese delegate: I think the biggest social problem in China is its large population. Many other problems arise from this, such as high housing price and the decline of natural resources. These days, food safety seems to be the biggest concern of ordinary people. Some food producers who look for big profits are using unnecessary chemicals in food production to improve the appearance and taste while reducing the cost of their products. These chemicals may be poisonous or even fatal to their consumers. At the same time, the environment is being seriously polluted in some areas. Japanese delegate: The unstable political system and frequent change of prime ministers is one of the most serious social problems in Japan. Natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis have also caused serious loss of people’s lives and great damage to properties as well as the country’s economic development. Being an island country, Japan lacks natural resources and is heavily dependent on imports.Russian delegate: Russia is facing many social problems, terrorism being the most serious of all. This can be traced back to the breakup of the former Soviet Union. When it was broken up, different nationalities experienced pain and conflicts. Since the privatization of the previously state-owned properties, a big gap has been created between the rich and the poor. Some people don’t trust the government any longer. Due to the extreme cold weather in winter, many Russian men are addicted to alcohol and some of them die young, leaving a larger female population. The total population of our country is, as a result, decreasing.Indian delegate: In India the biggest social problems are overpopulation, talent loss and poor infrastructure. India has a second largest population in the world next only to China, but unlike China, we don’t have a family planning policy, so the population is continuously increasing. A large part of the population lives in poverty and is unable to receive proper education. What’s more, weuse too much of the natural resources and environment pollution is getting even worse. In India, we worship certain animals like cows. They are allowed to wander on the streets, leading to frequent traffic jam and cow waste on the streets.USA delegate: We are currently experiencing the most severe economic recession in our history. It is partly caused by the international weakened financial system, but even more by the careless policies of many of our largest banks and commercial companies, and by irresponsible handling of financial matters by individuals and families. The unemployment rate in the US remains high, but is slowly improving. We have a high crime rate, including several campus shootings, and many of our metropolitan areas are unsafe much of the time. Our health care system is undergoing a reform but there is so much disagreement between the two main political parties that little progress has been made to date. Ordinary people have difficulty paying for the high cost of medical coverage, and economically deprived people have very limited medical coverage. We have overused and poorly handled many of our natural resources. The worst of all, we claim to have the best medical care in the world, but in reality it adequately covers only the higher and middle income portions of our population. All of the above have contributed to rather pessimistic feeling by many of our citizens. We also have disagreement on the global warming and other programs related to energy use, including the fact that we have been very dependent upon petroleum purchase from some Middle East countries with whom we have serious political differences, including the role of atomic energy and related atomic bombs and missiles.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesPre-ReadingCase study: What would you do?To the teacher:You may:1) Prompt (if necessary) the students to think about practical issues like child-care, location of theschool, location of the apartment, work place, etc.2) Encourage the students to justify why both parents (or just one) accept the jobs.Samples1) It depends. If I were the wife, I would persuade my husband to accept the job. As for me, beforemaking a final decision, I would take into consideration such factors as child-care facilities, location of the school, location of the apartment, etc.2) Both of us will accept the jobs. On the one hand, the jobs are challenging, which is good for ourpersonal fulfillment. On the other hand, with the money we get, we could find a babysitter for our child or send him to a private school, where he may receive better education.3) Neither of us will take the job. I think parents should spend more time with their children. Achallenging, high-salary job means less time with your child. If we move to a city where we don’t have any relatives, it would be even wors e. A child who grows up with little care from parents or family is very likely to become a problem kid.Post- ReadingReading Comprehension1.

Comparing ExperiencesSamples1)In our group, two of us were latchkey children, two were taken care of by their grandparents,and one was taken care of by his mother because his mother did not work. The two who were once latchkey children had felt very much the same as the children mentioned in the passage.They felt lonely and watched TV a lot. But compared with the other students in our group, they are more independent. So in a way, it is good to leave children alone at home for some time every day.2)In our group, only one person was once a latchkey child. Both her parents were working faraway from home and she had to be on her own at home for most of the time on weekdays. The rest of us were taken care of either by our grandparents or by our parents. Every day when we came home after school, there was always somebody there waiting for us and taking care of us.We could also go out and play with other children after we had finished our homework. But sometimes we did wish to be left alone so that we could spend the time as we wished.3)I was once a latchkey child. Both my parents had to work night shifts when I was in elementaryschool. Every evening I did homework all by myself and then went to bed. I played computer games for a while if I finished my homework early. Sometimes I went to school before my parents came home. My parents knew that I could take good care of myself. They felt proud of me since I was so independent and did a good job at school. Sometimes they called me to make sure I was okay. I never felt lonely and was aware that my parents loved and cared for me.Weekends were precious time for all of us.Vocabulary1. 1) c 2) h 3) g 4) a 5) e 6) k 7) i 8) d 9) l 10) b 11) j 12) f2. 1) constantly 2) impact 3) burden 4) Candidly 5) fulfillment 6) salaried 7) resentment 8)assistance9) perfect 10) suppress3. 1) successfully 2) resentment 3) security 4) necessity 5) advisable6) access/accessibility 7) athletic 8) maturity 9) emotional 10) effectively4. Sentence-Making GameTips for teachers:Step 1: Write on the blackboard about 20 words or phrases that appear in the text. An even number is desirable since the students will be divided into 2 groups.A possible list:rise decade expense financial affect on the other hand priorityengage range forbid isolate stimulate express claim widespreadgiven work out take into consideration in case of secure arisecope with demand provideStep 2: Divide the students into two groups.Step 3: The students make sentences using the words on the blackboard. Each sentence can include more than one word and must be meaningful and grammatically correct. One point is awarded for each correctly used word. The teacher crosses out the word which has been correctly used. If the word is crossed out, it cannot be used again.Step 4: Students are encouraged to work quickly and raise their hands as soon as they come up with a sentence. The teacher works as a judge; the group that gets higher points wins.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the expressions in brackets.1) Because of an emergency, the doctor will not be available for several hours.2) How will taxes affect people with low incomes?3) My mother always told me that in the long run I would be glad I didn’t give up practicing thepiano.4) The books range in price from $10 to $20.5) It seems to me that you don’t have much choice.6) Given their inexperience, they have done quite a good job.7) For such a big house the price is fairly cheap/low, but you’ve got to take into consideration themoney you will spend on repairs.8) Can we begin by discussing questions/problems arising from the last meeting?Part Three Further Development1.

Putting the Paragraphs in OrderStep OneDirections: Read the following paragraphs carefully and put them in the right order.The right order should be: E—B—F—C—A—G—D3. Graffiti -- Is it good or bad?STEP OneAnswers for reference:Political :We want work.End violence to women now.Tourists yes troops no.Make love not war.Funny:PatOnce I could never finish anything, but now I…Mickey Mouse is a rat. (This could also be political –a criticism of thewhole Disney Empire.)Poetic:Roses are red, violets are blue, why can’t black be beautiful too?Geography is everywhere. (This could be silly.)(These are only for your reference, there are no definite answers.)STEP TWOReasons for reference:--- show ―innocent‖ hearts and signs of love;--- desire to express anger against someone or something;--- express a political or social message;--- desire to be destructive;--- manifest boredom, frustration, or delinquency.--- show one’s talent as a graffiti artist4. For or AgainstSamplesFor:-- The originals and goods of high quality are too expensive, especially for low-income people or students;-- Pirated products and fake/inferior goods are good for promotional purposes because books,CDs, movies, tapes and famous brands will be available or known to more people. When they can afford them in their original state they’ll surely buy them.-- Pirated products and famous brands help to make the authors of the books, CDs, movies, or tapes, and the manufacturers better known or more popular. Nobody would even know who were the producers of the pirated or fake/inferior goods.-- More people will have jobs to make these products or goods. Sure the unemployment rate will be lowered.Against:-- Pirated products and fake goods are against the Copyright Law or violate the intellectual property rights;-- The authors, publishers and manufacturer are likely to suffer big financial losses;-- Piracy and counterfeiting encourage cheating and show no respect for other people’s work;-- Piracy and counterfeiting give rise to a large quantity of low-quality products and goods, and therefore result in a waste of resources and human labor;-- Piracy and counterfeiting damage our country’s image and put our country in a disadvantageous position in some international negotiations;-- The common value system has been distorted where piracy and counterfeiting dominate.Creativity and originality will diminish or decline.5.Working together to Solve the Social ProblemsFor teachers: To facilitate the activity, teachers can refer to Activity 3, Part I, of this unit for social problems presented by each delegate. Show your students these problems.SamplesChinese delegate: The population in China, though large, has shown signs of decreasing in the growth rate. Thanks to the family-planning policy, fewer babies have been born in the last thirty years. The demand on natural resources decreases gradually in different branches of industry. The policy met great opposition at the very beginning because it was against our old concept, more children greater happiness. Now the great majority of people are aware of the advantages the policy has brought to our country as well as to individual families. The Chinese government should continue to implement this policy, especially in rural areas. Also, China should develop green economy and reduce its heavy dependence on fossil fuels. The Chinese government should invest in the research and development of green energy, such as solar energy, wind energy and etc. And, the government should make stricter laws and regulations on food safety. Dishonest food producers should be harshly punished and fined so that the rest of them will be warned. Finally, the moral awareness and sense of social responsibility should be raised among citizens. People should care more about others and be ready to help each other when needed.The US delegate: The U.S. has been rather slow in working with cooperative programs to solve social problems. Initially our government felt we should plan and execute its own programs, but this approach appears to be changing. The problems of unemployment, a declining economy,agricultural production and trade, and social unrest have increased our attendance and participation in international meetings, including some of those which the United Nations has initiated. It is clear that only if the problems related to the economy, unemployment, food for the world population, and social unrest, become international in scope can there be international stability. And resolution of political and military conflicts have interfered with our U.S. efforts in the past, but appear to be improving. Exchanges between government officials from other countries and the U.S. have been held, and these appear to be mutually beneficial to the U.S. and to its trade partners as well. Hopefully, there will be greater support for international attention to global warming, overpopulation in Africa and Asia, and reduction of military warfare which has only interfered with efforts to solve social problems.Part Four Translation and Writing2.

6 Listen, if you can, to the 48 fugue themes of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavichord. Listen to each theme, one after another. You will soon realize that each theme mirrors a different world of feeling. You will also soon realize that the more beautiful a theme seems to you the harder it is to find any word that will describe it to your complete satisfaction.

8 The third plane on which music exists is the sheerly musical plane. Besides the pleasurable sound of music and the expressive feeling that it gives off, music does exist in terms of the notes themselves and of their manipulation. Most listeners are not sufficiently conscious of this third plane.

Yes, you will certainly know whether it is a gay theme or a sad one. You will be able, in other words, in your own mind, to draw a frame of emotional feeling around your theme. Now study the sad one a little closer. Try to pin down the exact quality of its sadness. Is it pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad?

Lifetime friendships teach you lifetime lessons and you should learn to accept them.Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why do people tend to have a thin understanding of friendship?It is because there is a lack of socially acknowledged criteria for what makes a person a friend.2) What are the three kinds of friendship according to Aristotle?They are friendship based on utility, friendship based on pleasure and friendship based on goodness.3) What does Cicero emphasize in his definition of friendship?He emphasizes the element of virtue in friendship.4) What is meant by ―virtuous friends‖ according to the classical views? Virtuous friends possess moral excellence and share a commitment to the good.2 Text A can be divided into four parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1 It’s necessary to review some classical views of friendship in order to acquire a better understanding of it.Two 2–5 According to Aristotle, there are three kinds of friendship, which are respectively based on utility, pleasure and goodness. Friendship based on goodness is perfect and totally different from friendship based on utility or pleasure.Three 6 According to Cicero, true friendship is only possible between good men. In such friendships and relationships, those who possess any superiority must regard themselves as equals of those who are less fortunate.Four 7 Virtuous friends are bound by moral excellence, which involves a high level of development and expression of the altruistic emotions of sympathy, concern and care.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the authors intend to say by the italicised parts.1. In one setting, we may describe someone as a friend; in another, the label may seem less appropriate. (Para. 1)Since society lacks socially accepted criteria for what friendship is, a person may be described as a ―friend‖ in one context but may not be suitably called so in another.2. Friendship between the young is thought to be grounded on pleasure, because the lives of the young are regulated by their feelings, and their chief interests are in their own pleasure and the opportunity of the moment. (Para. 4)It is believed that young people tend to regard pleasure as an essential element of friendship and thus base their friendship on pleasure.3. Such friendships are rare because men of this kind are few and they need time and intimacy; for as the saying goes, true friends must go through trials and tribulations together. (Para. 5)It is not easy to establish true friendships because there is only a small number of such good men in the world and it takes time and effort to develop such friendships. That is why true friendships are rare.4. To perceive a friend, therefore, is in a manner to perceive oneself; and to know a friend is in a manner to know oneself. Each can be said to provide a mirror in which the other may see himself. (Para. 7)When two people are true friends, each is like a mirror to the other, who can see what kind of a person he himself has proved to be and whether he has moral excellence or not.5. Friendship of this kind necessarily involves conversations about well-being and of what might be involved in living the good life. (Para.7)We can find all the good qualities in virtuous friends and it is those qualities that make permanent friendship possible.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Put down the right word from Text B in the space provided according to the given definition. The first letter of each word is already given.Example:k een: (of the mind, the senses, etc.) good, strong, quick at understanding, etc.1) c orrespond: exchange letters regularly2) b uild: shape and size, esp. of the human body3) s ensible: reasonable; having or showing good sense4) b rilliant: very bright, splendid, or showy in appearance5) g rasp: take or keep a firm hold of, esp. with the hands6) a ppoint: arrange or decide (esp. a time or place when something will happen)7) h ardware: equipment and tools for the home and garden, such as pans, garden tools, etc.8) g aze: look steadily, esp. for a long time and often without being conscious of what one is doing2 Fill in each blank with a word or phrase from Text B. Both the explanation and the number of the paragraph in which the target word or phrase appears are given in brackets. Be sure to use the proper form.Example:We were talking on the phone when, all of a sudden , the line went dead.(suddenly: Para. 29)1) Would you just cast your eyes / an eye over these calculations (计算的结果) to see if there is anything wrong?(look through sth. quickly: Para. 1)2) These beautiful old houses are being torn down to make way for a new road. (pull down: Para. 4)3) The owners of the restaurant must be making a fortune — they serve quite simple food at very high prices!(earn a large amount of money: Para. 6)4) The missing letter eventually turned up inside a book.(make one’s appearance: Para. 8)5) I have lost track of the number of times he’s asked me to lend him some money.(fail to keep myself informed about: Para. 8)6) If there’s no f urther discussion, perhaps we can pass on to the next subject. (move on: Para. 16)7) The police are checking up on what the man told them about the robbery. (examine to see the truthfulness of: Para. 16)8) He was under arrest when drugs were found in his bag at the customs (海关).(be captured by the police: Para. 30)Checking Your Comprehension1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text B.1) Where did the story take place?The story took place in New York.2) What was the policeman doing that night?He was on night duty, patrolling the avenues and trying to prevent any possible crimes on his beat.3) Where did the man in the doorway of a hardware store come from?He came from the western part of the United States, which was still wild and under-developed at that time.4) Why was he standing there?He was waiting by appointment for Jimmy Wells, the best friend of his youth.5) What was the appointment about?Twenty years before, Jimmy and Bob had made an appointment that they would meet again in the same restaurant exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what their conditions might be or from what distance they might have to come.6) What happened to the man who had stood in the doorway in the end? And why?He was arrested by a policeman in plain clothes, because he was wanted by the Chicago police.7) Who was the policeman in uniform?He was Jimmy Wells, Bob’s friend of youth.8) Did the two old friends meet that night?Yes, they did meet that night, but in a very special way. Jimmy approached Bob as a patrolman, talking to Bob as if they did not know each other before.2 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1) You couldn’t have dragged Jimm y out of New York; he thought it was the only place on earth. (Para. 6)He loved New York so much that he preferred to live nowhere else.2) The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch, the lids of it set with small diamonds. (Para. 9)It was a luxurious watch, handsome and with small diamonds set on its lids. Judging by the watch, one might think that he had made a fortune in the West.3) When they came into this glare, each of them turned simultaneously to gaze upon the other’s face. (Para. 27)Each of them was eager to know what exactly the other looked like.4) Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a man’s nose from a Roman nose to a pug nose. (Para. 29)You are not Jimmy at all, because it is not possible for a man to change the shape of his nose so thoroughly within a matter of twenty years.5) Chicago thinks you may have dropped over our way and they want to have a chat with you. Going quietly with us, are you? That’s sensible. (Para. 30)The Chicago police informed us that you might have come to New York and they wanted us to stop and arrest you … It is wise of you not to resist.6) His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he had finished. (Para. 31)He could not control his emotions when he found out the truth. His hand was trembling with fear and shock.Optional Classroom ActivitiesDivide the class into groups of fours and dramatize the story “After Twenty Years” by role-playing the story-teller (O.

Which quote do you like best? Why?George Washington⊙True friendship is a plant of slow growth.— George WashingtonInterpretation:Just like plants, friendship needs nurturing. Plants follow the life cycle of seeds, shoots and flowers before they bear fruits. True friendship grows in more or less the same way. It takes time to mature.George Washington (1732-1799): the first President of the US. Washington was commander-in-chief of the colonial army during the American Revolutionary War. After the war he was elected President of the United States twice, but refused to remain in the position for a third time.Benjamin Franklin◎Be slow in choosing a friend; slower in changing.—Benjamin FranklinInterpretation:Friends and friendships may have great influence on our lives and may last as long as we live. So we should be careful when choosing a friend and should be even more careful when we decide to end the friendship. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790): a US politician, writer, and scientist. He was involved in writing two historically significant documents, the Declaration of Independence (《独立宣言》) and the Constitution of the United States (《美国宪法》). He is famous for proving that lightning is a form of electricity by doing a scientific test in which he flew a kite during a storm, and he invented the lightning conductor. He is also well known for his literary works such as Poor Richard’s Almanac(《穷理查德年鉴》1732-1757;亦译作《格言历书》、《穷理查历书》) and Autobiography (《自传》1790).Samuel Johnson◎ A man should keep his friendships in constant repair.—Samuel JohnsonInterpretation:It is important to maintain friendships. Long-standing friendships should be constantly strengthened and developed; otherwise they may fade or even be lost forever.Samuel Johnson (1709-1784): a British critic and dictionary writer. He is famous for his Dictionary ofthe English Language (1755), the first comprehensive dictionary of the English language ever published.He was considered an excellent conversationalist (善于辞令的人). His intelligent, amusing, and interesting words are still widely quoted today.Charles Caleb Colton◎True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.—Charles Caleb ColtonInterpretation:Friendship is compared to health. One often fails to see the value of health until it is lost. The same is true of friendships.Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832): an English clergyman and author. He wrote a large body of writings in his short life, which ended with suicide after an illness. His aphorisms (格言,警句) about friendship, integrity (正直, 诚实), wealth, and knowledge are often cited even to this day.Section C Watching and Discussion▇Forrest Gump is a 1994 American film starred Tom Hanks.

Write down the main idea of each part.Section B In-Depth StudyFriendship is an eternal (永恒的) theme (主题) in human history. A life without friendship is hard to imagine. But what is friendship? Read the following text and see if you can gain some new insights into the true meaning of friendship.What is Friendship?Michele E. Doyle & Mark K. Smith1 When we approach the notion of friendship, our first problem is that there is a lack of firmly agreed and socially acknowledged criteria for what makes a person a friend. In one setting, we may describe someone as a friend; in another, the label may seem less appropriate. Therefore, people tend to have a very thin understanding of what friendship really means. To help us understand what friendship really means, we need to review some classical views of friendship.2 One classical view of friendship is provided by Aristotle, the famous ancient Greek philosopher. Aristotle distinguishes between what he believes to be genuine friendships and two other forms: one based on mutual usefulness, the other on pleasure. So, according to Aristotle, we may find three kinds of friendship:3Friendship based on utility. Utility is an impermanent thing: it changes according to circumstances. When the ground for friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up because that is what keeps it alive. Friendships of this kind seem to occur most frequently between the elderly, because at their age what they want is not pleasure but utility. Friendships based on utility are also frequently found among those in middle or early life who are pursuing their own advantage. Such persons do not spend much time together, because sometimes they do not even like one another, and therefore feel no need of such an association unless they are mutually useful. They take pleasure in each other’s company only in so far as they have hopes of advantage from it.4Friendship based on pleasure. Friendship between the young is thought to be grounded on pleasure, because the lives of the young are regulated by their feelings, and their chief interests are in their own pleasure and the opportunity of the moment. As they grow up, however, their tastes change too, so that they are quick to make and to break friendships. That is why they fall in and out of friendship quickly, changing their attitude often, even within the same day. But the young do like to spend the day and live together, because that is how they realize the object of their friendship.5Friendship based on goodness. Perfect friendship is based on goodness.Only the friendship of those who are good, and similar in their goodness, is perfect. And it is those who desire the good of their friends for the friends’ sake that are the truest friends, because each loves the other for what he is, and not for any incidental quality. The conduct of good men is the same or similar. It is between good men that both love and friendship are chiefly found and in the highest form. Such friendships are rare because men of this kind are few and they need time and intimacy; for as the saying goes, true friends must go through trials and tribulations together. And no two persons can accept each other and become friends until each has proved to the other that he is worthy of love, and so won his trust. The wish for friendship may develop rapidly, but true friendship does not.6 Another classical view of friendship can be found in the writings of Cicero, an ancient Roman statesman and orator. His writings on ethics, the philosophy of religion and natural law have been influential. According to Cicero, true friendship is only possible between good men. He further defines “the good” as “those whose actions and lives leave no question as to their honor, purity, equity, and liberality; who are free from greed, lust, and violence; and who have the courage of their convictions.” The friendship between good men, based onvirtue, does offer material benefits, but it does not seek them. Moreover, just as in friendships and relationships, those who possess any superiority must regard themselves as equals of those who are less fortunate, so these latter must not be annoyed at being surpassed in genius, fortune, or rank.7 Thus, we may see that the traditional idea of friendship is made up of three components: Friends must enjoy each other’s company; they must be useful to one another; and they must share a commitment to the good. According to the classical views, virtuous friends are bound together, as they recognize each other’s moral excellence. To perceive a friend, therefore, is in a manner to perceive oneself; and to know a friend is in a manner to know oneself. Each can be said to provide a mirror in which the other may see himself. The moral excellence of friendship, thus, involves a high level of development and expression of the altruistic emotions of sympathy, concern and care. Friendship of this kind necessarily involves conversations about well-being and of what might be involved in living the good life.▇课文参考译文友谊的真谛米歇尔·E·多伊尔马克·K·史密斯1 我们探讨友谊这个概念时,遇到的第一个问题是,没有一致赞同并获社会公认的认定(某人为)朋友的标准。

Last night at about 11 o’clock, my brother and I came home from a movie. As I was opening the door to our apartment, I heard cries of babies from next door. A couple with three kids lived there. The couple didn’t seem to have any job and they spent most of their time at home. The kids ranged in age from one year to five years old. There was one girl and two boys and they were pretty. I knocked at their door but nobody answered. The cries went even louder.
I figured there was something wrong. My brother reminded me of the Crimestopper number and I called. Within ten minutes, the police came. There were three of them. They knocked at the door but still no one came to it. They called the superintendent and he opened the door with the master key. Inside we could see three kids crying over the couple who were lying on the floor, unconscious. There were about a dozen used syringes beside them. The room smelled terrible. Ambulances came after fifteen minutes, taking the couple to the hospital. The police took the kids under care immediately. We have been told that they will be staying at the Interval House for women and children for a while.。
