Determiners (both, each, either or neither, some, any)Determiners are used in front of nouns to indicate whether you are referring to something specific or something of a particular type.Both is used to indicate that the action or state denoted by the verb applies individually to each of the two entities. When both is used with and to link parallel elements in a sentence, the words or phrases that follow them should correspond grammatically. Both can only collocate with plural count nouns.e. g. Both her fingers are broken.Both Mary and Tom like reading English novels.The phrase beginning with each identifies a set of items wherein the words following each identify the individual elements by their shared characteristics. The phrase is grammatically singular in number, so if the phrase is the subject of a sentence, its verb is conjugated into a third-person singular form. Similarly, any pronouns that refer to the noun phrase are singular.e. g. Each candidate has 49 votes.Each voter must decide for herself.Either and neither are used in sentences concerning a possible choice between two items. Either can mean one or the other (of two) or each of two.e.g. I’ve got tea and coffee, so you can have either. (one or the other)The room has a door at either end. (both)Neither means not the first one and not the second one.e. g. Neither of the students were listening.Both, some and any appear before nouns. Some and any may be used with countable and uncountable nouns.e. g. He bought some sandwiches for lunch.He didn’t see any stars when he visited Hollywood.He ate some cheese with his sandwiches.He never drinks any coffee at night because then he can’t sleep.IV.Both, both, Neither, either, neither.both, each, either.V.

The following hints might serveas a guide:a. The problems existing in the relationships between people in our society.b. The negative results such problems may bring about to our society.c. What can you do to help establish a harmonious society as a student?▆Sample Essay for Task 1:One weekend morning, while walking on a bustling street with a light heart, I was suddenly overtaken by a startling moan. Turning around, I discovered the sound was coming from a black mass in a corner. “What’s that?” My heart pounded heavily.I went up and saw a human being, alive but in a dreadful state. He was crouching on the ground with deformed hands and legs, mumbling something. He had obviously lost the normal ability to move and work. A dirty plate was placed in front the miserable-looking man, in which there were some coins and small notes.As my eyes were drifting away from him, his eyes caught mine suddenly. What eyes they were! Filled with misery and expectation, they were looking straight at me. He was unable to speak, but I seemed to hear his pleading voice and read his despairing mind. His look seemed to be telling me about his hard life and his longingfor help. For a while, I was at a loss what to do. Should I drop some coins in the plate like some other passers-byor turn away in indifference? I recalled news reports about men pretending to be beggars, who were actually healthy and able to work. Could this be another one of those scams? But the beggar was there, groaning and living. Then something seemed to hit me hard. I drew a five-yuan note from my pocket, dropped it in his dirty plate and walked away quickly in silence.“No good deed is too small.” Maybe we need to bear this saying in mind.▆Sample Essay for Task 2:We are living in a world of distrust. We live behind cold security bars; we do not talk to strangers, let alone go out of our way to help them; we live in fear of fake products. In short, fear and feelings of insecurity fill the environment we live in.All this greatly harms our society. Growing up in such an environment, we tend to feel isolated and care only about ourselves. If things go on like this, ‘trust’, ‘teamwork’, and ‘harmony’ will eventually become terms unheard of.In my opinion, trusting others and being trustworthy are the two basic principles that we should follow if we want to improve human relationships. We may not be in a position to change others, but we can change the way others see us by winning their trust in us. Mutual understanding and love are the pillars that support a harmonious society.Unit TwoOptimism and Positive ThinkingEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▆Working with Words and Expressions3.In the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

You may draw on some useful ideas and expressions from a variety of sources, such as the two texts in this unit or the Internet.1) Having read the two passages in this unit, you may have come to a better understanding of life and the timeswhen pessimistic and optimistic thoughts take turns to affect your behaviour. Write a letter of encouragement (of about 150 words) to one of your high school friends who failed in the college entrance examination. Tell him or her about your new understanding of the need to remain optimistic.2) The writers of the two texts in this unit convey to us the message that we need to look at the positive side ofanything that comes to us and that we need to take an optimistic and positive attitude toward life. Write an essay (of about 150 words) to share your ideas with your classmates. The following hints may be of some help:a. What is meant by “thinking positively”?b. What is the connection between success and optimism?c. How can we keep an optimistic and positive attitude?▆Sample Letter for Task 1:Dear Weihua,I know you are still feeling upset about your results in the college entranc e examination. I’ve just read an article about how pessimistic and optimistic thoughts can affect our behaviour and I’m now sending you a copy,hoping that it will help you step out of the shadows.Naturally, failing the college entrance examination can be very depressing, yet if you continue to dwell on the past, you will never be able to pick yourself up and focus on what is more important for now and the future. Life is full of trials and anyone may suffer setbacks. We must take an optimistic attitude towards the things we have to deal with. Optimism and positive thinking are powerful forces. Good things do come true if we picture them often. Please do have confidence in your potential.Just work hard and prepare for another chance.You will make it.Yours,Janet(152 words)▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Thinking positively means allowing your mind to be filled with optimistic feelings, and always hoping for the best though still aware of the difficulties that might be involved.The human mind is powerful; thoughts of optimism and pessimism can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Though it might seem impossible to some, positive thinking and success actually have a cause-and-result relationship. The reason is that a person with positive thinking will always broadcast goodwill and confidence and that kind of radiating attitude will take a hold on everybody.Gradually, people’s attitude will shift towards more trust and respect. This not only opens up more opportunities for the individual, but it also feeds back emotionally, and the cycle continues.Though the shaping of a positive or negative personality often happens subconsciously, it is possible to control such processes consciously. A person can try visualizing favourable situations, whether it is remembering a contest won as a child or imagining getting that job offer so long sought after. Over time circumstances will change accordingly.

Theme-Related Writing 1) Write a narrative essay (of about 150 words) abou t your pursuit of a dream or someone’s experiences inmaking his / her dream come true.Sample essayLi Hui, my friend in high school, was born into a worker’s family. She began to dream of becoming a cartoon artist from her childhood. To her disappointment, her parents strongly opposed her career choice, because the cost of her education would be too high for the poor family, and they were worried about the job opportunities for a cartoon artist. However, Li Hui would not change her mind. She worked hard to perfect her skills and searched persistently for ways to realise her dream. Just before she finished high school, the chance came: a famous art school was holding a cartoon drawing competition. The first three winners would be given a scholarship to study cartoon drawing at the school. Li Hui told herself not to let the chance slip through her fingers. She readily participated and won the second place. She is now studying there and I feel certain that her dream will come true. (156 words)2) People may have different opinions about the key factors for success. Write a short essay (of about 150 words)and share your opinions with your classmates.Sample essay:In my opinion, before a person becomes successful, he or she should fully understand the basic elements of success: competence, determination and optimism.For a person to succeed, he or she has to face great competition and excel in his or her chosen career. The person needs to demonstrate and prove his or her competence in dealing with problems. Without competence, the person can neither stand out among the crowd nor attract the attention of those who hold the keys to the doors of opportunity and advancement.Yet ability alone cannot guarantee success. Often enough, things do not go the way we have planned and failure is unavoidable no matter how intelligent or capable we may be. In such cases one needs to remain firm and optimistic, always believing that hard work will eventually pay off. If the person gives up halfway, success will never knock at the door.

Unit 5
— Chinese Proverb Interpretation: “Like father, like son.” ( 有 其 父 必 有 其 子 ) is a common quote that is used not only by Chinese but also by many other races and cultures in the world. It could be used either as a compliment or as a criticism of the son (and the father implicitly). The underlying assumption of this quote is that whatever traits demonstrated by the son are inherited from the father. Therefore, those who believe in this are proponents that nature has 6 an overpowering influence on one’s cha1racter.

In addition to being numerals determining nouns, cardinal numerals may also work as:1. adjectives2. nouns3. numeral — One Il Can also be a PronoUnThe different WayS to express — around around, about, nearly, some, more or less, or so, thereaboUts, etC.Ordinal 序数 numerals are used to express an / the order in a series. In addition to being numerals determining nouns, ordinal numerals may also work as:1. adjeCtives2. nouns3. adverbsOrdinal numerals allow both artiCles ahead. Again, the artiCle determines the noun only, not the numeral.FraCtional numeral is used to express parts of a whole. Commonly, it takes two forms:1. Common 普通分数 /简分数 fraCtionWork aCCording to the formula: Wholes + Numerator / Denominatore. g. 1 2/3 = (is equal to or means) one (whole) and / plus two thirdsNote the — S Il added to the denominator: — thirds II.2.

It took him one and a half hours to finish the task.7. TWenty-nine (beginning)2. Determiners (both, each, either or neither, some, any)Determiners are used in front of nouns to indicate whether you are referring to something specific or something of a particular type.Both is used to indicate that the action or state denoted by the verb applies individually to each of the two entities. When both is used with and to link parallel elements in a sentence, the words or phrases that follow them should correspond grammatically. Both can only collocate with plural count nouns.e. g. Both her fingers are broken.Both Mary and Tom like reading English novels.The phrase beginning with each identifies a set of items wherein the words following each identify the individual elements by their shared characteristics. The phrase is grammatically singular in number, so if the phrase is the subject of a sentence, its verb is conjugated into a third-person singular form. Similarly, any pronouns that refer to the noun phrase are singular.e. g. Each candidate has 49 votes.Each voter must decide for herself.Either and neither are used in sentences concerning a possible choice between two items. Either can mean one or the other (of two) or each of two.e.g. I ' ve got tea and coffee, so you can have either.e(o nr the other)The room has a door at either end. (both)Neither means not the first one and not the second one.e. g. Neither of the students were listening.Both, some and any appear before nouns. Some and any may be used with countable and uncountable nouns.e. g. He bought some sandwiches for lunch.He didn ' t see any stars when he visited Hollywood.He ate some cheese with his sandwiches.He never drinks any coffee at night because then he can ' t sleep.IV.Both, both, Neither, either, neither. both, each, either.V.

They are not only dwellers in nature; but also transformers of it. With the development of society and its economy; people tend to become less dependent on nature directly; but indirectly their dependence grows.Human beings are connected with nature by “blood” ties. No one can live outside nature. However; the previous dynamic balance between man and nature has shown signs of breaking down. Problems such as the population explosion; ecological imbalance and the shortage of natural resources have become major factors keeping human society from being further developed.Professor Spirkin holds that the only choice for human beings is the wise organization of production and care for Mother Nature.Theme-Related Writing▆ Write an essay of no less than 150 words on the topic “My Understanding of Environmental Protection”. Your writing should cover the following points:1 the relationship between man and the environment2 the urgency of environmental protection3 ways to protect the environment▆ Sample essayMy Understanding of Environmental ProtectionMan and the environment are closely related. Man relies on the environment for water; food and shelter. A harmonious relationship between man and the environment is essential for human survival on the earth.However; man and the environment have never been on such bad terms as they are now. As society develops; man’s transformation of nature has severely polluted his living environment. Deforestation leads to changes in rainfall patterns; causing devastating floods; droughts and sandstorms. The discharge of chemical pollutants endangers our health and the lives of other beings. And mass production has resulted in the shortage of irreplaceable natural resources such as coal and oil. If we take no immediate and effective steps to protect our environment; human beings may be the next species to become extinct.We should do our best to protect our environment by planting moretrees; taking care of wildlife; reducing industrial wastes; using renewable energy; and imposing heavy fines on environmentally-unfriendly activities; so as to preserve the environment for future generations.167 wordsUnit TwoMan and TechnologyEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▆ Working with Words and Expressions1.In the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.Complete the following sentences with them.

It can be seen that there is no close correlation between people’s income and their happiness. Happiness cannot; after all; be bought with money.Although the majority of people are not very satisfied with their lives; they are happy to be alive; and the more time they live on earth; the better off they feel they’ll be. What is important is t hat material wealth is far from enough. People need spiritual happiness; too.Theme-Related WritingWrite an essay of no less than 150 words about a technological invention.

It not only enables us to keep in touch with each other almost anytime and anywhere but also helps us solve problems or do business efficiently. In emergencies; a mobile phone can even be a life-saver. Besides; its multi-functions add ease and color to our lives. With a mobile phone; we can receive mail; read news; listen to music; play games; and take pictures.Yet; the mobile phone has its disadvantages; too. Most of us have experienced the nuisance of unwanted or wrong calls. We are inconvenienced by calls on occasions when we least expect one. Besides; the technology infrastructure to support mobile communication has consumed valuable natural resources and caused significant environmental problems. It is reported that electromagnetic radiation waves from the phone may result in health problems.Despite its negative side; the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh its disadvantages. I believe that with advances in science and technology; improved and safer models of mobile phones will surely serve us still better. 184 wordsUnit ThreeFame and SuccessEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1.

In most cases; fame can also help them gain wealth. But; after all; very few people can really become famous while most people; including most artists; are unlikely to become famous.It is true that some failure for some people at certain times in their lives does motivate them to strive even harder so as to achieve final success. For example; Thomas Edison; the famous American inventor; had tried hundreds of materials before he finally found the suitable fuse for the electric bulb. However; unfortunately; for most people failure is the end of their struggle.Therefore; in my opinion; success is one thing and fame is another. As long as you have tried your best; you’re already successful whether you are famous or not.Theme-Related WritingWrite a composition of no less than 150 words on the topic “Fame —Good or Evil ”. Your paper should cover the following points:1 the advantages of being famous2 the disadvantages of being famous3 your attitude towards fameSample essay:Fame — Good or EvilFame has always been pursued by many people for the advantages it brings about. Fame can assure one of a high social status; high regard; great admiration; etc. Fame can also bring one wealth as a celebrity has more chances to earn big money. Besides; the applause and flowers from fans may boost one’s self-confidence and increase one’s sense offulfillment.However; fame can ruin one’s life; too. It deprives one of his privacy. As a public figure; he is often chased by fans and journalists; and his private life never escapes the media’s attention or public curiosity. Fame also places one under great pressure. He has to work in line with public expectations and thus becomes the slave of his own success.So fame is a double-edged sword. I don’t seek fame and I don’t envy those who are famous. I highly appreciate what the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow says about fame: “The talent of success is nothing more than doing well whatever you do without a thought of fame.”第四章答案Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▇Working with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Study the following quotes about the value of life. Which quote do you like best? Why?
The purpose of life is a life of purpose. — Robert Byrne

大家有疑问的，可以询问和交
A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.
— Charles Darwin
Interpretation: If we really love life and understand its true value, we wouldn’t waste any time on trivial things.
Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
— Mahatma Gandhi
Click Picture
Interpretation: If we were aware that our lifespan is rather limited, we would try to spend it on more meaningful things and refuse to waste our time. When it comes to learning, we should never stop the quest for knowledge, as if we were immortal.
Interpretation: Everyone can live but once. But life can be very different because of the different attitudes towards life. When we take everything for granted, we will find life very dull. If we choose to appreciate whatever comes our way, we will be able to find the true value of life.
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
— Albert Einstein
Click Picture
We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.
— Winston Churchill
Click Picture
Interpretation: We cannot survive without food, clothes and other things we can get. But a worthy life does not depend on how much we can get; rather it depends on how much we can give others. Giving, rather than taking, makes us different from other animals.
