人教版高中英语必修四Unit 3课文翻译Unit 3 A taste of English humour―Reading―A MASTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOUR无声的幽默的大师As Victor Hugo once said, “Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face”, 维克多·雨果曾经说过:“笑容如同阳光,驱散人们脸上的阴霾”and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. 关于这一点,直到今天也没有人比查理·卓别林做的更好。
He brightened the lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between. 在两次世界大战及中间艰苦的岁月里,他给英国和美国人民带来了快乐。
He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel more content with their lives. 在人们感到沮丧的时候,查理使人们开怀大笑,于是他们对自己的生活感到更加满足。
Not that Charlie's own life was easy! 然而卓别林自己的生活也并不容易。
He was born in a poor family in 1889. His parents were both poor music hall performers. 他生于1889年,出身贫寒。
他的父母都是杂耍戏院里贫穷的演员。
You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. 你可能会感到惊奇,查理刚会说话时大人就教他唱歌,他刚会走路时大人就教他跳舞。

When an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “feedback”(反馈). Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like human beings in two ways. They work and they have feedback.In some ways robots are better than human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done. A person moves the robot’s “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.The most intelligent robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects. These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions. The expensive robots are used in scientific research. They do such job as handling radioactive materials.46.

successful in his own way.Several weeks ago,I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines.I kept asking him to sit down,telling him that he would concentrate better.He sat but seconds later,as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it,he got up again.I was getting frustrated,but then it hit me.I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up.Could he be more intent while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe.I was raised to believe that a quiet,calm child was a sure way to success.This child would have the discipline to study hard,get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits,and all you can do is loving and accepting them.As parents,throughout their growing years and beyond that,we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders,guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate.Obviously,he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine.We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things.Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations.There is nothing sweeter than being indi vidual and unique.It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.1.At the beginning,the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him ________.A.pay more attention to his

ways.B.Parents should study their kids’ DNA.C.Kids should be taught to behave themselves.D.Parents should love and accept their kids.4.The author has stopped asking his son to sit down and concentrate because ________.A.he has changed his traditional ideas of educationB.his son wants to be uniqueC.his son doesn’t follow his adviceD.his son’s DNA is different5.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A.Study hard and you’ll be successfulB.Be friendly to your childrenC.Children’s success in their own styleD.Parents’ help with their children’s studyB(2013·威海部分高中质量检测)A group called Story Pirates goes into schools and performs shows for children.But these shows are based on stories written by the children themselves.The grown-ups are there to help them become better writers.The Story Pirates are active in more than two hundred schools across the United States.Their method is designed to help children learn about the purpose and structure of writing.Actors and teachers known as teacher-artists help students write stories.The children feel the pride of ownership in their work and may get to see their story performed.About two hundred actors and teachers are members of the Story Pirates.It was founded in two thousand three.The group is based in Los Angeles and also has performers on the East Coast.The basic program is called the Idea Storm.It involves two visits to a school.On the first visit,the teachers and actors hold a writing workshop at a student assembly.They help students express their ideas.Benjamin Salka,the group’s chief executive officer,says they work with children to “open up” their imaginations.But that is only part of the process.Benjamin Salka said,“We work with them on the actual craft and structure of writing.In other words,Story Pirates is not just a creativity and self-esteem building program.It is a writing program.And we focus on elements of structure and style as broad as conflict and creative conflict resolution,and as minute as grammar.”He says they work with students to rewrite and shape their story to improve it.The goal is a final product tha t can express the ideas that were in the writer’s head.All the children get comments and suggestions on their work.After about a month,the Story Pirates return to the school.This time,they perform the stories that they have chosen and prepared for the stage.They sing,dance,tell jokes,use puppets—whatever they can do to make the experience fun.A more extensive program can be found at the Bronx Charter School for the Arts in New York City.Ann Ledo is a director for the school,where most of the students are black or Latino and many come from poor families.Ms.Ledo says the work of the actors is an important part of the children’s education.Ann Ledo said,“As a school that has a focus on the arts,we bring the Story Pirates in to further our s tudents’ experience and understanding of academic content.”Some educators may think of the importance currently placed on testing in schools,and wonder how they can measure the effects of a program like this.But Ann Ledo praises the results.Ann Ledo said,“It really is a magical moment when the kids see their stories come to life.”6.What is the main feature of the shows?A.The shows help create more and more better writers.B.The shows are a special course about writing skills.C.The shows are based on stories written by the children themselves.D.The shows are performed by the writers.7.From what Benjamin Salka said,we can see that ________.A.the program can build up students’
