Unit 2Part I Listening TaskScript for the recording:As I watched the election results on the big screen with my family Tuesday night and heard the announcement that the 44th president of the United States would be Barack Obama, I found myself fighting back tears as I thought of just how far we have come as a country.I thought about growing up in the Deep South and about my grandparents, who lived in a racist-governed Alabama.I thought about never having a school textbook on the first day of the new school year that didn't already have someone else's name written in it.I thought about that day in seventh grade world history class when a white classmate shouted, "I'm glad they got that King guy," on the morning after the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. That was the only fight I was ever involved in.I thought about my single-parent mom working as a maid for most of her life, leaving her home to clean other people's homes and wash their clothes just to feed her six children.I thought about in the early years of my journalism career being sent to cover a city council meeting and having to explain why I was there that I was a part of the news media.But Tuesday night, Nov. 4, 2008, showed me that if you persevere, anything is possible. That things can change and will change if we would work together as one, believe in each other and look beyond our differences. Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008, said that it is our differences that make us who we are and what we can be as a people and as a nation.After Listening1.Barack Obama had become the 44th president of the United States2.he thought of just how far they have come as a country3.racial discrimination4.persevere, anythingPart II Reading taskText AComprehensionPossible answers to content questions:1.

Slavery was strongest in the South, where large plantations grew cotton, tobacco, and other crops. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, a growing demand for cotton led to an increase in the demand for slaves in the region. Slavery was less profitable in the North, however, and much of the opposition to slavery came from the northern states. The tension between the North and the South over the issue of slavery led to the Civil War in 1861.With the victory of the North, slavery was abolished. Discrimination, however, did not end. Black Americans were treated as second-class citizens, especially in the South. Dissatisfaction with unfair treatment eventually led to the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 1960s that brought about government action aimed at reducing discrimination.As a result, African Americans have come a long way in the last fifty years, but they still find themselves at a disadvantage in comparison with Americans of European descent. A much smaller proportion of the black population are able to finish higher education. Incomes for the average white family are a lot higher. True, it is inspiring that Barack Obama has become the first black President of the United States, yet it appears that the civil-rights movement in the U.S. still has a long way to go.(237 words)。

In my parents' words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appliances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better.(194 words)- 9^ -Appendix IUnit 2Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are going to listen to is called Abraham, Martin & John, sung by Dion.Abraham, Martin & JohnDionHas anybody here,Seen my old friend Abraham,Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just loohed around,And he's gone,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend John,Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just loohed around,And he' s gone,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend Martin,Appendix I- 95-Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just looked around,And he's gone,Didn't you love the things they stood for,Didn't they try to find some good for you and me,And we'll he free,Someday soon it's gonna be one day,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend Bothy,Can you tell me, where he's gone,I thought I saw him walhin' upover the hill, With Ahrah am,Martin and John.The unit we are going to study is all about civil-rights heroes. The song you have just heard is about four of them. Can you guess who they are? All are American. All are dead, all, as the song says, "gone". How about Abraham? Dion says he freed a lot of people. That's one clue. Another comes when she quotes the proverb: "the good die young." So it seems Abraham died young. My guess is Dion has in mind Abraham Lincoln, the American president who freed the slaves and was assassi-nated. How about John, another leader who helped people to free themselves? He too died young. Can you guess who it might be? President John F. Kennedy seems most likely. He too supported civil rights. He too died young, assassinated like Lincoln.Now who could Martin be? Another civil-rights leader who died young, once again assassinated. A great speaker comes to mind. Who do you think? Martin Luther King, surely. And finally, Bobby. Bobby who? Probably Dion is thinking of Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedy's brother, another supporter of civil rights. He was running for president when, like his brother before him, he too was gunned down.- 96 -Appendix IPart II Text AText Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-5 It is high time to honor the heroes whohelped liberate slaves by forging theUnderground Railroad in the earlycivil-rights struggles in America.Part Two Paras 6-23 By citing examples the author praisesthe exploits of civil-rights heroes whohelped slaves travel the UndergroundRailroad to freedom.2.

Ain'tno good for nothing4 Butput a man six feet in ahole.Big Jim's keen a-drinkin'whiskey, And playin' pokeron a losin' night,1Two feets: Normally we say two feet.2a-creepin: in the state of creeping, "a-", here, is a prefix meaning "in the state or process of.338 refers to a 38 calibre (P S) handgun or pistol.4Ain't no good for nothing: a non-standard way of saying "They are good for nothing"- 102 -Appendix IAnd pretty soon ol' Jim startsthinkin' Somebody's beencheatin' and lyin' .So big Jim commenced to fightin'1,I wouldn't tell you no lies.big Jim done pulled his pistol,Snot his friend right between the eyes.It's the Saturday NightSpecial, Got a barrelthat's blue and cold.Ain't no good for nothin'But put a man six feet ina hole.On, that's a Saturday Night Special,For twenty dollars you can buy yourself one, too.Hand guns are made for till in ,They ain't no good for nothin'else. And if you like to drinkyour whiskey You might evenshoot yourself.So why don't we dump'empeople To the bottom of thesea Before some ol' fool comearound here, Wanna shooteither you or me.It's the Saturday night specialYou got a barrel that's blue and coldYou ain't good for nothin'But put a man six feet in a bole.It's the Saturday night specialAnd I'd like to tell you what you could do with itAnd that's the end of the song.The unit we are going to study, like the song you have just heard, is all about the threat of crime. It starts with a burglar creeping into a house at night. The couple in the house have gone to bed as the song says. Despite creeping the burglar must have awoken the man, for he is getting up, "reachin' for his trousers", when the burglar shoots him several times, "full of holes".1 So big Jim commenced to fightin': Normally we say "Big Jimcommenced to fight or commenced fighting".Appendix I-103-Which brings us to the "Saturday Night Special", with its "barrel blue and cold", a handgun. Despite calling it by such a familiar name, it's clear the singer has no time for the handgun. He sings of it as being good for nothing but sending people to their grave, putting a man down "six feet in a hole".From the dangers of burglars with guns, the singer moves on to how dangerous guns can be when drinking leads to violence. We hear the story of Big Jim, the gambler. As he gets drunk, Big Jim starts to suspect he is losing at cards because others are cheating. He gets into an argument and reaches for his Saturday Night Special. He shoots his friend "right between the eyes".Pistols in America are cheap at just twenty dollars, but the singer warns against having one. Those foolish enough to do so are not only a danger to others, but also a danger to themselves, for, as he sings, "if you like to drink your whiskey, you may even shoot yourself."Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) Doors are not left unlocked either in cities or in rural areas.2)Dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires are widely in use.3)Suburban families have steel bars built in sliding glass doors.4)Small notices warning against burglary are commonly seen pastedon the windows of the most pleasant of homes.5)Access cards are required of those who work with medium to large-size companies.6)Airport security uses electronic X-ray equipment to guard against terrorism.7)Businessmen employ new machines linked up to their telephone tohelp determine whether the caller is telling lies or not.8)Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their key chains.2.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-3 In America, the era of leaving the frontdoor on the latch has drawn to a close.

Statistics show burglars entered more than 2 million homes last year. Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happen to be the last to come in, leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked, are vulnerable to break-ins. Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. Finally, a word of warning—when you travel, make sure that you have a trusted neighbor collect and keep all the deliveries of newspapers and mail until you return. This is because a collection of newspapers and mail on the front doorstep or in your mailbox is an advertisement that no one is home.。

In my parents' words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appliances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better.(194 words)- 9^ -Appendix IUnit 2Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are going to listen to is called Abraham, Martin & John, sung by Dion.Abraham, Martin & JohnDionHas anybody here,Seen my old friend Abraham,Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just loohed around,And he's gone,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend John,Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just loohed around,And he' s gone,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend Martin,Appendix I- 95-Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just looked around,And he's gone,Didn't you love the things they stood for,Didn't they try to find some good for you and me,And we'll he free,Someday soon it's gonna be one day,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend Bothy,Can you tell me, where he's gone,I thought I saw him walhin' up overthe hill, With Ahrah am, Martin andJohn.The unit we are going to study is all about civil-rights heroes. The song you have just heard is about four of them. Can you guess who they are? All are American. All are dead, all, as the song says, "gone". How about Abraham? Dion says he freed a lot of people. That's one clue. Another comes when she quotes the proverb: "the good die young." So it seems Abraham died young. My guess is Dion has in mind Abraham Lincoln, the American president who freed the slaves and was assassinated. How about John, another leader who helped people to free themselves? He too died young. Can you guess who it might be? President John F. Kennedy seems most likely. He too supported civil rights. He too died young, assassinated like Lincoln.Now who could Martin be? Another civil-rights leader who died young, once again assassinated. A great speaker comes to mind. Who do you think? Martin Luther King, surely. And finally, Bobby. Bobby who? Probably Dion is thinking of Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedy's brother, another supporter of civil rights. He was running for president when, like his brother before him, he too was gunned down.- 96 -Appendix IPart II Text AText Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-5 It is high time to honor the heroes who helpedliberate slaves by forging the UndergroundRailroad in the early civil-rights struggles inAmerica.Part Two Paras 6-23 By citing examples the author praises theexploits of civil-rights heroes who helpedslaves travel the Underground Railroad tofreedom.2.

Shortly after he achieved freedom he became a member of an organization that assisted fugitive slaves. He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom. Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run. He disguised them and successfully avoided capture. In addition, later he built a small settlement in Dresden in Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school where they could learn useful ways of making a living. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, all the slaves would be liberated, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination no longer existed.Part III TextBComprehension Check1. a2. d3. c4. d5. b6. bTranslation(#J& Appendix III)Language Practice1. remarkable2. commitment3. flourish4. resulted from- 100 -Appendix I5. grave6.

In this contextPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperThe Civil-Rights Movement in the U.S.Black Africans were first brought as slaves to what was to become the United States in the seventeenth century. Slavery was strongest in the South, where large plantations grew cotton, tobacco, and other crops. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, a growing demand for cotton led to an increase in the demand for slaves in the region. Slavery was less profitable in the North, however, and much of the opposition to slavery came from the northern states. The tension between the North and the South over the issue of slavery led to the Civil War in 1861.With the victory of the North, slavery was abolished. Discrimination, however, did not end. Black Americans were treated as second class citizens, especially in the South. Dissatisfaction with unfair treatment eventually led to the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 1960s that brought about government action aimed at reducing discrimination.As a result, African Americans have come a long way in the last fifty years, but they still find themselves at a disadvantage in comparison with Americans of European descent. Only 17 per cent of the black population are able to finish higher education, in contrast to 28 per cent of whites. Incomes for the average white family were just over $44,000 in 1999.

Listen and see if you can guess what a Saturday Night Special is.Saturday Night SpecialLynyrd SkynyrdTwo feets1 they come a-creepin' 2Like a black cat do.

Ain't no goodfor nothing4 But put a man sixfeet in a hole.Big Jim's keen a-drinkin' whiskey,And playin' poker on a losin'night,1Two feets: Normally we say two feet.2a-creepin: in the state of creeping, "a-", here, is a prefix meaning "in the state or process of.338 refers to a 38 calibre (P S) handgun or pistol.4Ain't no good for nothing: a non-standard way of saying "They are good for nothing"- 102 -Appendix IAnd pretty soon ol' Jim startsthinkin' Somebody's been cheatin'and lyin' .So big Jim commenced to fightin'1,I wouldn't tell you no lies.big Jim done pulled his pistol,Snot his friend right between the eyes.It's the Saturday NightSpecial, Got a barrel that'sblue and cold. Ain't no goodfor nothin' But put a man sixfeet in a hole.On, that's a Saturday Night Special,For twenty dollars you can buy yourself one, too.Hand guns are made for till in ,They ain't no good for nothin' else.And if you like to drink yourwhiskey You might even shootyourself.So why don't we dump'em peopleTo the bottom of the sea Beforesome ol' fool come around here,Wanna shoot either you or me.It's the Saturday night specialYou got a barrel that's blue and coldYou ain't good for nothin'But put a man six feet in a bole.It's the Saturday night specialAnd I'd like to tell you what you could do with itAnd that's the end of the song.The unit we are going to study, like the song you have just heard, is all about the threat of crime. It starts with a burglar creeping into a house at night. The couple in the house have gone to bed as the song says. Despite creeping the burglar must have awoken the man, for he is getting up, "reachin' for his trousers", when the burglar shoots him several times, "full of holes".1 So big Jim commenced to fightin': Normally we say "Big Jim commenced to fight or commenced fighting".Appendix I- 103-Which brings us to the "Saturday Night Special", with its "barrel blue and cold", a handgun. Despite calling it by such a familiar name, it's clear the singer has no time for the handgun. He sings of it as being good for nothing but sending people to their grave, putting a man down "six feet in a hole".From the dangers of burglars with guns, the singer moves on to how dangerous guns can be when drinking leads to violence. We hear the story of Big Jim, the gambler. As he gets drunk, Big Jim starts to suspect he is losing at cards because others are cheating. He gets into an argument and reaches for his Saturday Night Special. He shoots his friend "right between the eyes".Pistols in America are cheap at just twenty dollars, but the singer warns against having one. Those foolish enough to do so are not only a danger to others, but also a danger to themselves, for, as he sings, "if you like to drink your whiskey, you may even shoot yourself."Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) Doors are not left unlocked either in cities or in rural areas.2)Dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires arewidely in use.3)Suburban families have steel bars built in sliding glass doors.4)Small notices warning against burglary are commonly seen pasted on thewindows of the most pleasant of homes.5)Access cards are required of those who work with medium to large-sizecompanies.6)Airport security uses electronic X-ray equipment to guard against terrorism.7)Businessmen employ new machines linked up to their telephone to helpdetermine whether the caller is telling lies or not.8)Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their key chains.2.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-3 In America, the era of leaving the front dooron the latch has drawn to a close.Part Two Paras 4-15 A new atmosphere of fear and distrust hascrept into every aspect of daily life.

Statisticsshow burglars entered more than 2 million homes last year. Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happen to be the last to come in, leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked, are vulnerable to break-ins. Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors.Finally, a word of warning—when you travel, make sure that you have a trusted neighbor collect and keep all the deliveries of newspapers and mail until you return. This is because a collection of newspapers and mail on the front doorstep or in your mailbox is an advertisement that no one is home.。

She hoped that caring for Jimmy has enriched her life more than anything else ever could have.I Writing (15 %)My View on FateDifferent people have different views on fate. Some people think that fate is predestined and nobody can change it, while others argue that everybody is the master of his fate and he can change it with his own hands.As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. For one thing, I firmly believe all men are born equal and nobody is destined to always succeed or fail in his life. For another, if a person is diligent and determined, he will realize his dream no matter how poor, humble or unlucky he may be. Just think of Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite after countless experiments during which he lost his brother and got seriously injured himself.Taking all these factors into consideration, we may safely come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as destined fate in our life. Only if we hold on to our dream can we turn it into reality, just as the saying goes, “Everybody is the architect of his own fortune”.II Reading Comprehension (skimming and scanning) (10%)1-7 CDBDCDB 8. teething begins 9. a variety of parts 10. cause and effect III Banked Cloze (5%)11.

The new study suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron in the blood of women.2. She may consume additional meat or take iron supplements.3. Just as every coin has two sides, however, exercise can also bring us harm. If you are normally inactive and then, prompted by a sudden impulse, start a big program of intense exercise, there are more chances that you have yourself injured. In addition, as for those who go on a fat-reducing diet, the more exercise they take, the greater loss of iron they will suffer and the worse their health conditions will get. And worst of all, continual as well as excessive exercise is more likely to result in sudden death. Thus, how to go in for exercise is something worth more of our concern.I Writing (15 %)The Effects of Exercise on Our HealthAs is known to all, exercise does bring a lot of benefits to our health. First, it can greatly strengthen our hearts, lungs, bones and muscles, thereby changing our whole health for the better. Besides, it can make our brains better able to react to what is going on around us. And best of all, it can help us breed optimism about our tough life.But all the above does not mean that we can turn a blind eye to the negative effects exercise brings about. If you are normally inactive and then, contrary to your usual habit, start a program of undue exercise, as a succession of scientific studies reveals, there are more chances that you have yourself injured. In addition, the more exercise those on a fat-reducing diet take, the more loss of iron they will suffer and the worse their health will get. And worst of all, continual as well as excessive exercise can result in sudden death.Therefore, a scientific approach must be adopted to the problem of exercise. On the one hand, our physical exercise must be based on both progressiveness and regularity. On the other, we must go in for physical exercise according to local as well as health conditions of our own. In sum, exercise can do us good or harm, all depending on how we make use of it.II Reading Comprehension (skimming and scanning) (10%)1-7 ABABADC 8. a clear liquid 9. 10 seconds 10. increased electrical activityIII Banked Cloze (5%)11.

It has become such a serious problem that it has aroused the concern from the whole society.To put an end to such a serious problem, in my mind, it calls for the efforts from all sides. First of all, the university authority should make it clear that any cheating behavior in the examinations, from whispering and copying, receiving answering via mobile phones to asking ringers for help, will be severely published with no exception. Moreover, teachers of all subjects should go all the way to restore honesty by setting an example for the youth through speaking sincerely and behaving truthfully. Last but not least, young students, the future of our nation, should view integrity as the prerequisite to an upright and responsible citizen so as to learn to despise and fight against dishonest behaviors throughout the life.How can anybody expect to lead a meaningful life if he is not far from any kind of cheating behaviors? Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.II Reading Comprehension (skimming and scanning) (10%)1—7 CDBBACD 8.

For instance, one chilly winter, I was so seriously sick that the doctor told me to have to be in hospital for at least one month. That upset me a lot because it meant I would miss many lessons and yet the final examination was only one month away. Right in this difficult time, my English teacher came to me, and said, “Don’t worry. I will help you make up for all your missing English classes”. She really did so but only at the cost of her leisure time. Thanks to her help, I did a pretty good job in the examination.I’ll never forget her as well as other teachers who have dedicated their time to helping me.

He, from an average family, got leukemia two months ago. Currently, his condition has been promoted quite a lot but still require further treatments.As he has been in hospital for so long a time, his family is now poverty-stricken. Worse still, his mother was dismissed for having been absent from work too long, because she had to take care of him in the hospital. With another operation approaching, his family is tortured by the enormous fees demanded. His parents have racked their brains for ways of collecting money for the cure of his illness and managed to get some. However, that is far from enough yet. Moreover, his mother needs someone else to help attend to him.It is high time that we should help him out of the present difficulty. For those who are kind enough to offer their help, please phone 1234567 or go and put your donations into the collection box in front of Room 216 and you can also go directly to our office to sign your name so that you can take care of him by turns.Thank you for your kindness!II Reading Comprehension (skimming and scanning) (10%)1-7 ABBBABD 8. push energy savings 9. innovation and research10. elected regional governmentIII Banked Cloze (5%)11.

Earthquake survival supplies include a radio receiver, a torch, extra batteries, first-aid supplies, a spade, a tent, some rope, and warm clothing.3. Education concerning how to survive an earthquake.I Writing (15 %)The Two-day WeekendThe two-day weekend has brought a lot of benefits to college students ever since the beginning. First, it gives students time to digest what has been taught in class and gain a better mastery of professional knowledge and skills. Second, students can also conduct experiments and participate in social activities to combine theory with practice. Third, they can also do sports to strengthen their bodies or take a rest to prepare for the coming week.Though it does good to college students in many ways, the two-day weekend can never be said to bring no problems. For one thing, too many lectures crowd into the weekdays, and students can hardly keep pace with them. For another, quite a few students spend their time playing video games or chatting on the internet instead of focusing on study. How can they make progress in their specialties if they waste too much time?In order to make good use of the two-day weekend, I form the habit of making a concrete plan for each weekend. On the one hand, I always set aside enough time for reviewing lessons and reading reference books. On the other hand, I usually go to the gymnasium to swim twice in all seasons. By carefully planning my time, I am confident to be not only healthy in body but also intelligent in mind.II Reading Comprehension (skimming and scanning) (10%)1-7 CBCBCAC 8. do not mix well 9. electricity for manufacturing 10. the losing of calciumIII Banked Cloze (5%)11.

Instead of hunting for a job in the ads of a newspaper or in a job market, a job seeker can look for a job on the Internet. In fact, many people prefer it to the traditional ways of finding a job.Three reasons, in my mind, can account for this social phenomenon. In the first place, it’s convenient. A job hunter can find a job without bothering to get recommendation from relatives or friends, which spares them much time and effort. In the second place, it’s simple. A job seeker can get a job by simply browsing among the want ads online and sending his resumes via e-mail. In the third place, the success rate is high. One can apply for several relevant vacancies at the same time.As far as I’m concerned, I believe, with the increasing popularity of Internet, this new method will win favor among more and more people for its convenience, efficiency and high success rate.II Reading Comprehension (skimming and scanning) (10%)1-7 BCADCAB 8. to pay their expenses 9. raise tuition rates, reduce scholarship aid, and limit some academic programs 10. depend on state legislators for financial supportIII Banked Cloze (5%)11.

During the period from 1999 to 2009, the number of people chosing to spend their holidays in traveling rose from 35% to 70%, while the mumber of people chosing to stay at home decreased from 65% to 30%. Obviously more and more people prefer traveling to staying at home in holidays.We believe that three reasons can account for this phenonmenon. First, with the development of the national economy, people earn much more money than they used to, so they can afford a trip to other places. Second, compared with the past, transport facilities have been greatly improved, which makes it easier and more convinent for people to travel long distances. Third, the fast tempo of modern society put many people under stress. Traveling just offers a good opportunity for people to relax and relieve stress.We are happy to see that things are becoming better and better nowadays, we can imagine that there is a growing tendency for people to travel instead of staying at home during holidays.II Reading Comprehension (skimming and scanning) (10%)1-7 ADCBBDB 8. find different resources / find relevant information 9. the major universitylibraries 10. authoritative information and research tools in psychologyIII Banked Cloze (5%)11.

Boundless with energy and bright with passion, Stephen McPhee is now seven years old and has donated hundreds of backpacks stuffed with essentials and toys to needy children in Calgary. As his mother recalls:Nancy: When he came up with the idea, he called them 'pack packs' and said, 'I want to have toys, crayons, candy and all those things for them!' We put together 15 backpacks and delivered them with Stephen to Calgary's homeless shelter. I didn't think any more of it until the middle of last year when Stephen asked, 'Mom, are there still kids on the street?' I told him there were, and he said, 'I have to make bigger back packs.' "Commentator: With Stephen’s mind set on 150 packs, Nancy wondered out loud whether the goal was setting up her son for disappointment.Nancy: He looked at me and said, 'Mommy, you have to dream out loud.'Commentator: ‘You have to dream out loud’ has become a phrase that the McPhees, communities and local businesses have rallied around. To everyone's surprise but Stephen's, 265 backpacks were delivered last Christmas.Nancy: He's so right. I think one of the things I like most is that I hear stories of someone's daughter or son ask what they can do as well.

His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.UNIT 5Text A Writing Three Thank-You LettersText Organizationl.Parte Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-9 On Thanksgiving Day 1943, as a young coastguardsman at sea, the writer came up with the idea of expressing his gratitude to people who had helped him before.Part Two Paras 10-16 The writer wrote three thank-you letters to his father, the Rev.

Paragraph 3: Attitudes towards daydreaming are changing in much the same way thatattitudes towards night dreaming have changed.Paragraph 6: The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness inshaping our future lives as we want them to be..How to Attain Our Goals in LifeAs a sailing ship has a certain destination, so we must have a definite goal in our life. To succeed in life, a man must learn to develop such qualities in himself asindustry, persistence, confidence, and strong willpower. Here I would like to dwell alittle on the first two.Undoubtedly, hard work is the key to success. Take Peter G. Beidler for example. Having chosen teaching as his career, Professor Beidler made a great effort to meet the challenges of the profession. Day after day he stayed up late preparing his lectures,even when his eyes became swollen for lack of sleep. His subsequent success as ateacher was borne out by the fact that he was named The Professor of the Year in 1983. Obviously his success has had a great deal to do with hard work.Persistence is another important factor leading to the realization of one's goal in life. Once we have set a goal for ourselves, we must not depart from our course untilwe reach it. The mother in Unit 5 is a case in point. She refused to give up in the faceof all the challenges in life. Instead, she persisted in improving herself. In the end, she became a reporter with a local newspaper. Clearly persistence helped to make herdream come true.。

These signs and symbols include all the countless ways and means we resort to for daily survival.2) How does an individual feel when he or she enters a strange culture?Like a fish out of water, he or she feels frustrated and anxious.3) How do people react to the frustration and anxiety caused by culture shock? At first they may reject the environment which causes the discomfort, thinking that the ways of the host country are bad because they make them feel bad. And then they may enter another phase of culture shock, which is called ―regression‖. They start missing their home country and the home environment suddenly assumes a tremendous importance. All the difficulties and problems back home are forgotten and only the good things are remembered.4) What is the relationship between culture and the individual?The individual lives not only in a physical environment but also in a cultural environment. The individual must learn the culture he or she is born into because he or she is not born with culture but only with the capacity to learn it and use it. Once learned, culture becomes a way of life.5) What is ethnocentrism and what characterizes it?Ethnocentrism is a belief that not only the culture but the race and the nation form the center of the world. People with this attitude identify themselves with their own group to the extent that any critical comment is taken as a remark that is rude to the individual as well as to the race or the nation. Along with this attitude goes the tendency to attribute all individual peculiarities as national characteristics.6) What can we do to get over culture shock as quickly as possible?To get over culture shock as quickly as possible, we have to get to know the people of the host country. For this purpose, we must, first of all, learn its language. When we are able to talk withthe natives of the host country, we will be confident and a whole new world of cultural meanings will open up for us. Then, we must try to find out the value and interest pattern of the native people. In this way, we can find it quite easy to get people to talk to us and be interested in us. Thirdly, we can join the activities of the people, whether it is a carnival, a religious ritual, or some economic activity.2 Text A can be divided into three 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 1–3 We might call culture shock a disease which is caused by the frustration and anxiety resulting from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse.Two 4–6 Culture shock is due to our own lack of understanding of other people’s cultural background and our l ack of the means of communication rather than the hostility of an alien environment.Three 7–9 To get over culture shock, we should get to know the people of the host country and their language; we should find out what they do, how they do it, and what their interests are, etc. But understanding the ways of a people does not mean that we have to give up our own.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1. We might almost call culture shock an occupational disease of people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. (Para. 1)People working under the same conditions may contractoccupational diseases owing to the dangers associated with the work. More broadly and figuratively,as here, the phrase ―occupational disease‖ can be applied to the unpleasant consequences associated with any activity.2. All of us depend for our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues. (Para. 2)These familiar cues can exactly tell us what to do and how to do things, which helps us deal successfully with the various situations we encounter. Without these numerous cues, we cannot enjoy peace of mind or efficiency in work and life.3. It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality. (Para. 3)When you step into a new culture, you tend to feel that your own culture back home is the best; it is only after you return to your homeland that you will find the culture of your own nation or race is by no means perfect.4. The culture of any people is the product of history and is built up over time largely through processes which are beyond his awareness. (Para. 4) Culture develops and accumulates through a long but hardly noticeable process.5. It is thus best to recognize that ethnocentrism is a permanent characteristic of national groups. (Para. 5) People tend to regard their own culture and lifestyles as the best; meanwhile, they tend to regard the behavior of an individual from another culture as apermanent trait of his or her national group. Accordingly, an awareness of this fact should help us deal with a new culture more successfully.6. But once you begin to be able to carry on a friendly conversation with your maid, your neighbour, or to go onshopping trips alone, you not only gain confidence and a feeling of power but a whole new world of cultural meanings opens up for you. (Para. 7)Language is the principal symbol system of communication. Knowing the language of the host country is a principal means by which we can settle down comfortably and confidently in a new culture.Task Three Voicing Your ViewsA Chinese marketing manager in Beijing was sent to Los Angeles for a two-year sales promotion. It should have been a thrilling experience but, like a fish out of water, he felt very uncomfortable soon after he got there. Work in groups of threes or fours and discuss the challenges he might have possibly met and the symptoms of his discomfort. And then give him some suggestions so that he could get over culture shock as quickly as possible.Write down your outlines first and then present your ideas to the whole class.ChallengesThe following tips may be of some help.1. He cannot communicate well;2. He is not familiar with the transportation system;3. He does not know how to make purchases;4. He cannot adapt to the food;5. He finds difficulties in seeing a doctor;6. He does not know how to open a bank account, etc.Symptoms1. anxiety, frustration, depression, and resentment;2. insomnia, loneliness, and homesickness;3. rejection of the new environment and unwillingness tointeract with others;4. lack of confidence; feelings of insecurity or helplessness;5. compulsive eating and drinking, etc.Suggestions1. He should learn English well;2. He should learn about the gestures, facial expressions, customs, values, and beliefsof the American people;3. He should maintain contact with Chinese people for a sense of belonging;4. He should participate in community activities to get familiar with the Americanculture;5. He should value relationships at work to get support;6.

Because her mother was proud of her skill of cooking. By asking her boyfriend to praise her mo ther’s cooking the narrator hoped that he would win her mother’s favor.2) What was her mother’s first impression of Rich?He looked rather plain with too many freckles across his nose.3) What mistakes did Rich make at the dinner table?At dinner he drank two full glasses of the French wine he had brought while everybody else had a half-inch ―just for taste.‖ He did not know how to use chopsticks and how to show appreciation for the food the mother cooked. He ate big portions of the dish he liked, instead of taking only a polite spoonful. He declined the tender and expensive new greens the narrator’s mother had carefully prepared. What is worse, he spoiled the flavor of the mother’s famous dish by pouring too much soy sauce into it.4) Why did the narrator shudder when she remembered how Rich parted with her parents?When he shook hands with her parents, Rich showed that same easy familiarity he used with nervous new clients and he addressed them by their first names, which sounded quite impolite. Nobody except a few older family friends, had ever called them by their first names.5) What did Rich think of the evening?He thought it was good and that everything had gone well that night. He was expecting to see the narrator’s parents again.6) Why didn’t th e narrator tell her mother that she wasgetting married? Because at every possible moment when she was alone with her mother, her mother would be voicing her dissatisfaction with Rich. So the narrator did not have a chance — not even the courage — to tell her mother about her marriage plan.7) Why couldn’t Rich understand the narrator’s mother?It was the cultural differences that caused their misunderstanding. Rich did not know much about Chinese table manners and he took others’ words literally.2 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1) She can only cook looking at a recipe. (Para. 4)She is poor at cooking and could not cook creatively; no one would enjoy the dishes she cooked.2) Rich obviously had had a different opinion on how the evening had gone. (Para. 23)Rich didn’t realize at all how serious his mistakes were in my parents’ eyes. Instead, he thought what he had done was proper in the situation.3) When we got home that night, I was still shuddering, remembering how Rich had firmly shaken both my parents’ hands with that same easy familiarity he used with nervous new clients. (Para. 23)He did not realize that he had shaken my parents’ hands ina way that had irritated them.4) How long d oes it take to say, Mom, Dad, I’m getting married? (Para. 26)It is extremely easy to tell them that you are getting married.Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.
