Unit1
desperate wake disappointing contest worshipping
object bankrupt cruelty fancy dignity
protects originally protests altitude similarly
Have you ever known anyone famous? If so, you may have found that they are remarkably similar to the rest of us. You may have even heard them object to people saying there is anything different about them. “I’m really just a normal guy,”protests an actor who has recently rocketed into the spotlight. There is, of course, usually a brief period when they actually start to believe they are as great as their worshipping fans suggest. They start to wear fancy clothes and talk as if everyone should hear what they have to say. This period, however, does not often last long. They fall back to reality as fast as they had originally risen above it all. What will it feel like to soar to such altitude and look down like an eagle from up high on everyone else? And what will it feel like to have flown so high only to wake from your dream and realize you; are only human? Some only see the cruelty in losing something they had gained. They often make desperate attempts to regain what they lost. Often these efforts result in even greater pain. Some become bankrupt financially and emotionally. The only real winners are those who are happy to be back on the ground with the rest of us.
你知不知道一些著名的人？如果是这样，你可能已经发现他们和我们（普通人)没有什么区别。

您甚至可能会听到他们反对人们说他们与众不同。

“我真的只是一个普通的家伙”，一个最近飙升到聚光灯下的演员抗议道。

当然，通常在一个短暂的时期，他们开始相信他们是伟大的，因为被他们崇拜的粉丝推崇。

他们开始穿花哨的衣服，好像每个人都应该在听他们说话。

然而，这样的期间，不会持续太长。

他们很快回归到了现实，就在他们把这些（名利）看得太重的时候。

那种感觉就好像是一直翱翔在高空的老鹰俯视其他所有的人？那种飞得高的感觉只是为了唤醒你的梦想从而认清你自己？他们从得到又失去中体会到了残酷。

他们常常绝望的想得到他们失去的东西。

这些努力往往导致更大的痛苦。

有些人无论经济和情感上都破产了。

只有真正的赢家是那些乐意回到地面与我们（普通人）在一起的人。

Unit2
underlined induces devoted collision effect
consensus successful obligation influence charge
inquired rousing sparked rising flashed
Have you ever heard of Jon Stewart? he is currently one of the most popular comics on television. His pessimistic view of the politics and government induces laughter ,thought and even anger . he has a clever wit that often runs into collision with some government policies. His whole show is devoted to making fun of the nonsense that occurs in politics. But ,that makes his show so successful is his ability to tell his jokes with intelligence. It’s not just comedy , said one media expert . his comments have a lot of influence over a very large audience in American. He has a lot of political power. Recently Stewart was a guest on a news show about politics. The host journalist sparked a heated debate when he inquired about Stewart responsibility to the American public. Stewart argued that while the content of the script for his show may be political in nature, his primary obligation is to entertain. The host journalist, however ,emphasized the political influence of his performance. The argument ended up rousing anger from both parties. The incident underlined how sensitive some people can be to what others find funny. It also showed how important comedians have become to politics.
你听说过乔恩·斯图尔特（人名）吗？他是目前电视上最流行的喜剧演员之一。

他对政治和政府的悲观看法，引起（人们的）欢笑，思考，甚至愤怒。

他经常用他的聪明机智抨击政府的一些政策。

他的整个展会致力于取笑那些没有意义的政策。

但是，使他的表演如此成功，是因为他的笑话充满了智慧。

一个媒体专家说，这不只是喜剧。

在美国，他的意见对很大一部分观众有很深远的影响。

他有很多的政治权力。

最近斯图尔特做客于一个关于政治的新闻节目。

主机记者引发了激烈的争论，在当他询问斯图尔特美国政府的责任的时候。

斯图尔特认为，虽然他的节目的内容在本质上是说政治的，但他的首要责任是娱乐（大众）。

然而，主机的记者强调，他的表现对政治的影响力。

争吵与他们对两方政党的极端愤怒结束。

这件事着重说明了那些给人带来快乐的人相当敏锐，他们展示了将喜剧转化成政治的重要性。

在美国，当有人残疾后不能（再）胜任他们以往的工作将会发生什么？若有人已在工作中受伤，应通知医务工作者证明工伤。

然后，他们可能会收到来自该公司的赔偿。

若该公司提供退休金，工伤者可能会收到弥补每月工资损失的（相应）金额。

如果那些已经残疾的人在工作环境里的安全（仍）受忽视，他们也可以将公司告上法庭。

这通常会导致为了解决争端而收到付款收据。

此外，政府部门为了保护残疾人制定了在所有的工作场所都必须赔偿工伤的条列。

在这个方案中的一个条文规定了在那些容易发生伤害的工作场需要赔偿更多金额。

出于这个原因，公司需要非常重视重体力劳动的安全。

大多数人误解伤残保险。

他们认为该保险不可理喻，一个人没有工作却得到了报酬。

事实上，此类赔款往往不足以支付住房费用和其他生活开支。

大多数残疾人还是要工作，但是从伤病恢复再训练投入到其他类型的工作岗位需要时间。

attends advantage highlights privacy buy
transformation invest transmits telecommunications charge
superhighway disposal assess potential access
Mr. Li runs a small trade company in Sichuan province. He used to be worried about the sales of his goods, but now he simply logs on the Internet and transmits the information about his company to almost anywhere. He now has so many resources at his disposal than before. He has even started to invest in foreign and make money almost anywhere.
The telecommunications revolution has certainly changed the way we look at the world.
And ,most importantly, it allows people to get equal access to the information.
People in less developed areas of the world are taking advantage of the benefits
as well. One person says, I used to have a small farm, but now I am doing international
business. This is just one of the many benefits of the information superhighway.
There are ,however, some potential challenges we will have to face. For example,
there is a great deal of concern over privacy in the information age. Mr. Li
highlights this point. Hopefully, we can solve this problem in the near future.
李先生在四川省开了一家小型贸易公司。

过去他常常担心商品的销售情况，但现在只需轻松地登陆网站并把公司讯息传播到各个地方。

比起以前，他现在有更多能够自己自由支配的资源。

他甚至开始在国外城市进行投资并且到处赚钱。

无线电通讯革命改变了我们了解世界的方式。

而且，更重要的是，它为人们提供了获取信息的平等机会。

（甚至）落后地区的人们也同样在利用这一便捷方式。

一个人说：“我一千有座小农场，但现在（却）可以进行国际贸易。

”这只是信息高速发展众多好处之一。

然而，同时我们将面临一些潜在的挑战。

比如，在信息化时代，令人担心之处多在于个人隐私问题。

李先生强调了这一点。

但愿我们在不久的将来能解决这一问题。

当你独自一人时你会怎样度过?把音乐尽可能的开到最大自娱自乐?还是买一份最大的牛排然后坐享美食?据我观察,这些活动能成为烦心事的最佳疗法.对于人类来说,在生命中找到一份宁静至关重要.人们必须找到一段时间让自己的生活避免别人的打扰.然而这部分时间所占的比例已经越来越小,我们总是把我们所拥有的与别人分享.因此,我们的维持社交活动与个人追求的平衡能力受到了挑战.孤独中的灵感不仅仅属于诗人和哲学家们,同时也是普通人所能拥有的主要才能.一个健全的人反思其生命的真正重要的东西需要独处的时间.当你独自一人的时候,可以释放自身灵魂使之充斥整个房间,让步伐随自由而动.但是，保持理智很重要.不要忘了,要想成为他人生命中的健康的一部分,首先须确保自己的健康.

In the past several years, many new stories about corporate greed have come to surface. The illegal practices of some executives have negatively impacted our economy. What makes this worse is that these executives seem to have the consent of some political leaders. Some of the executives even bribe lawmakers. Recently a member of congress from California was caught demanding gifts from interest group in exchange for supporting new laws. A few top leaders in the government are under investigation for illegal activities. This doesn’t even scratch the surface of the problem. A few years back a company made many purposeful accounting errors to fool investors. Many believe that one reason the problem became so big was that our nation’s top leaders shielded the company. By the time the truth was unveiled ,many innocent people had lost their entire savings. There seems to be more and more companies that exploited the public’s trust for their own interests. This calls for laws and strict regulations to put the illegal practice to an end.
在过去的几年中，许多新企业贪污的事实已经浮出水面。

一些高管的违法行为对我们的经济产生了负面影响。

让这个更糟糕的是因为这些高管似乎获得了部分政治领导人的许可。

一些高管甚至贿赂议员。

最近，一个来自加州的国会成员因向利益集团索贿以换取对新法律的支持被捕。

一些政府高级领导人正因违法活动接受调查，而这甚至还没有触碰到问题的表面。

几年前，一家公司做了许多有目的的错账欺骗投资者。

许多人认为，问题变得如此严重的其中一个原因就是我们国家的高层领导人在保护这个公司。

事实公布后，许多无辜的人倾家荡产。

似乎有越来越多的公司为了自己的利益利用公众的信任。

这得靠严格的法律法规为非法行为划上休止符。

phenomena evolution priority commenced preference
advanced suspicious scatters controversial sheds
dominant exist attributes survive assets
I have read The History and Geography of Human Genes by Luca Cavalli-Sforza but still have some questions.Even though the findings seemingly prove that races are essentially equal on a genetic level,there are differences unexplained.It was Darwin who first advanced the theory of natural selection.His notion was that certain characteristics that help that species survive are selected over generations by that species.The species does not consciously make the choice for genetic preference.
Instead,by surviving longer and being more fruitful,members of that species with the preferred genes gradually become the dominant breed.We may,as a species,all have commenced our existence in one location,but this was long long ago.Factors such as climate and other survival necessities have created needs for evolution.I believe these factors have contributed to races evolving with different attributes.This explains the phenoment such as Asians receiving better science and math scores.It also sheds light on why there are so many excellent athletes from Africa.I understand that this is a particularly controversial statement.This is especially true in an age when races are mixing and the peoples of this planet are attempting to learn to live together. 我已拜读过卢卡·卡瓦里-斯福扎的《人类基因的历史和地理》，但仍存疑。

尽管这些发现证明了物种在基因层面上基本平等，但仍然有些无法解释的差异。

物竞天择理论的首个提出人达尔文的观点是，某些能帮助其生存的特性会代代相传，但物种本身并未明确选择遗传倾向。

相反，存活时间更长且（进化）成果更多的成员将在该物种中因拥有优良基因而逐渐占据主导地位。

作为一个物种，我们可以在一个地方开始繁衍生息，但这（要追溯到）很久之前了。

气候及其他生存所需等因素为进化创造条件。

我相信这些因素促成了不同属性的种族进化。

这就解释了诸如亚洲人在科学和数学的成绩更优异的现象。

这也解释了为什么那么多优秀的运动员来自非洲。

我明白这个观点颇具争议。

特别是在种族混合的时代世界人民正尝试着共同生活。

present prejudiced represent confirm distinguishes
maintain discriminates suspect judgments stay
discounting remain underestimate reveals undervalued
To look at me, you would never guess I am in my late sixties. Most people suspect that. I just smile and say, ”A lady never reveals her age.” There are good reasons why a lady doesn’t. Older women get ignored in our society. We
are undervalued and left to grow old without the company of others.
I understood from a very young age our society discriminates against the old. Our society is prejudiced against women. And, our society
makes judgments based on the color of a person’s skin. I am an old black woman.
I have to use my every advantage in order to maintain a vital part of my community.
I have managed to stay fit, to maintain my looks while my wisdom increases. Often younger men underestimate my abilities. However, I should tell you that I am very skilled in the art of politics. I was for many years the mayor of a large urban center in the Southern United States. After that I was elected by my district
to represent them in Congress. I advise other women over sixty not to give up! Old as we are, we have experience and know more about life. Let’s not let our knowledge and experience go to waste.
仅仅看我的外貌，你不会觉得我快七十了。

多数人会怀疑我的年龄，但我总是笑着说，“女士的年龄是秘密”。

女士们有很多不透露年龄的理由。

上了年纪女性在社会上会被忽视。

我们不被重视，没人陪伴地慢慢变老。

很年轻时我就明白了，我们的社会歧视老年人。

我们的社会对女性有偏见。

并且，我们的社会以肤色来定人。

我是一个年长的黑人妇女。

为了在所在的群体中保持重要地位我用尽了所长。

在智慧增长的同时保持身体健康和容颜不变。

小伙子们常低估了我的能力。

然而，我要告诉你的是，在政治上我十分有经验。

多年来作为美国南部一个大市中心的市长。

在那之后我被选举为国会代表。

我倡议六十岁以上的妇女们不要放弃！年长如我们，我们有经验而且对生活了解更多。

不要让我们的知识和经验白白浪费了。

features gifted reminder created exaggerate
talents impact acknowledge ceremony concern
contends anniversary representing dedicated witnessing
The Disney Legends program was established in 1987 to acknowledge and honor the many individuals whose imagination, talents and dreams have created the Disney magic. The awards are given annually during a ceremony at the Walt Disney Studios. The Legends are chosen by a selection committee chosen by Roy E. Disney. Since its inception, the program has honored many gifted animators, songwriters, actors and business leaders as having made a significant impact on the Disney legacy.
In 1997, the Legends program was established in Europe with a ceremony held at the Disneyland Paris, commemorating the 5th anniversary of the park and honoring those who established many of the Disney European business. During the ceremony, a 14-foot bronze enlargement of the Disney Legends award was unveiled as an enduring reminder
of their contributions.
On October 16, 1998, the new Disney Legends Plaza was dedicated at the Walt Disney Studios to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. The Plaza features a second edition of the bronze sculpture first placed in Disneyland Paris, with bronze plaques representing the individual Legends lining the columns of the Plaza.
Each year, new Legends will join this celebrated group so that we may always remember the gifts of those people who know the secret of making dreams come true.
迪斯尼传奇项目设立于1987年，用来答谢和褒奖那些用想象力、天赋和梦想创造了迪斯尼魔力的人。

这个奖项每年在迪斯尼制片厂的典礼上颁发。

传奇（奖）是由Roy E. Disney挑选的选拔委员会选出的。

从它被设立以来，许多有天赋的动画家、作曲家、演员和公司领导都因为在迪斯尼历史上有意义重大的影响得到过该荣誉。

1997年，传奇项目在欧洲设立。

同时巴黎迪斯尼乐园举办了一个典礼，用来庆祝公园5周
年纪念日，并给那些建立了欧洲迪斯尼商业的人授予荣誉。

在典礼上，公布了一尊14英尺的青铜迪斯尼传奇奖放大品，作为对他们贡献的持久铭记。

1998年10月16日，沃尔特迪斯尼制片厂奉献了一座新的迪斯尼传奇广场，用来纪念沃尔
特迪斯尼公司75周年。

广场以首次放置在巴黎迪斯尼乐园的青铜雕塑的第二版为特色，用青铜斑块代表广场柱子上标示的个人传奇。

每年都会有新的传奇加入庆祝团体，所以我们会一直铭记那些知道实现梦想秘密的人们带来的礼物。

Unit10
account adopted exhibit apply demonstrate
crucial sense effective adjust efficient
productive exceptional suggested superior implement
As a boss, I have dealt with all types of employees. The ones that are the least
productive are those who are not adaptive. They may have high IQ points, but they
just don't understand how to apply their theories to reality. I rece ntly read a book by Daniel Goleman, which suggested that the true measure of intelligence was not IQ,but rather EQ or Emotional Intel ligence. This made a lot of sense to me.I have never
been at the top of my class, but I have always been efficient and worked well with
other people.I have always taken good communication skills my number one priority.
I think only testing how well a person solves complicated academic p roblems fails to
take into account ofother abilities, which can be just as crucial a nd even more so to a person's accomplishments. In fact, many of the "idea people" have a real hard time getting their point across. Th ey simply don't have the skills to demonstrate how
valuable their idea might be. Sure, the world would be lost without these "idea
people",
But I'd rather hire someone with superior EQ. The higher a person's EQ is, the better they will be able to implement the great idea s they have. The real trick is finding
someone who combines both.
作为一个老板，跟我相处过的员工涵盖所有类型。

效率低下的员工没有适应（工作环境）。

他们可能智商奇高，只是不懂如何将理论应用于实践。

最近我读了丹尼尔·戈尔曼的一本书，书中指出，智力的真正衡量标准不是智商，而是情绪商数或情绪智力。

这对我而言很有意义。

我从未在班上名列前茅，但效率奇高且与他人相处融洽。

良好沟通总被我居于首位。

我认为不应该只测试一个人解决复杂的学术问题的能力，而不把其他能力考虑在内，而其他能力或许对于个人将来的成功和学术能力一样甚至更为关键。

事实上很多“会想的人”的观点难以理解，他们只是缺乏证明自己想法实用价值的能力。

当然，没有这些“会想的人”世界将会迷失。

但我更愿意聘用情商高的人。

一个人的情商越高，就越能实现伟大想法。

真正的窍门是找两者皆有的人。
