Paraphrase in Lesson 11. Everybody, except me, was born with the ability to think.2. You could hear the wind was caught in his chest, and the fresh air had to struggle with difficulty to find its way to his chest because he was unfamiliar with this. He would be thrown off balance, and his face would turn pale. He would return unsteadily to his desk and fall down in his chair, unable to do anything for the rest of the morning.3. At that time, it seemed to me that he was not controlled by thought, and it was the working of his genes that compelled him to turn his head toward young girls.4. Practically, grade-three thinking is as incompetent as most businessmen’s golf, as dishonest with most politicians’ speech, as incoherent as most publications.5. Grade-three thinkers usually represent the great majority. We had better respect them because we are fewer in number and surrounded by them.6. It is human nature to enjoy agreement because it may bring peace, comfort and harmony, just as cows will eat the same part of grass as the same way as the others do.7. Our Prime Minister would talk about the great benefits we provided to India, while at the same time our government put people like Nehru and Gandhi into prison. American politicians would talk about peace, while meanwhile they refused to join the League of Nations. Yes, to see these ridiculous examples of grade-three thinkers, as a grade-two thinker, there is temporary satisfaction.8. I put my arm around Ruth’s waist quietly and said in a low voice that i f we took the number of people into consideration, I would bet the Buddhists were the greatest in number. She escaped because my touch and the thought of the great number of Buddhists were more than she could accept.9. What had happened to Ruth and I now happened again and again. I had some good friends who supported me and share the same belief with me. But my grade-two thinking frightened away many of my acquaintances.Paraphrase in Lesson 21. Bella was young and pretty and was seen as the beauty of the boarding-house, but no one had shown any particular interest in her.2. Mr. Penbury was intelligent, but no one in the boarding-house liked him for that. (He was too smart for them, and everybody felt annoyed.)3. But Mrs. Mayton would not tolerate any silence for more than three minutes. So when no one broke the silence within three minutes she lost her patience and, turning to Penbury and asked.4. Mr. Calthrop was urging Mr. Penbury to give an answer immediately so that he would not have the time to make up a story.5. The weapon went through Mr. Wainwright’s heart.6. We all know you are a sleep walker, so you may commit the murder in your sleep.7. Mr. Penbury advises Mr. Calthrop not to put so much emphasis on his statement when talking to the police if he does not want to arouse their suspicion about his story.8. “No,” Miss Wicks answered, “I have come to put an end to your cough.”。

Doctrine of the Mean is the core content of Confucianism. Confucius's so-called "middle" does not mean "compromise", but refers to a "moderate" and "appropriate" method when recognizing and dealing with objective things. Confucius advocated not only to treat this kind of thinking as a way of understanding and handling things, but also to integrate it into one's daily behavior through self-cultivation and exercise, making it a virtue. The golden mean is the core of Confucianism and an important part of Chinese traditional culture. From its formation to the present, it has played an inestimable role in the construction of national spirit, the spread of national wisdom, and the development of national culture.Unit2莎士比亚（William Shakespeare）被广泛认为是英语界最伟大的作家，也是世界上杰出的戏剧家。

TextIs it ever proper for a medical doctor to lie to his patient? Should he tell a patient he is dying? These questions seem simple enough, but it is not so simple to give a satisfactory answer to them. Now a new light is shed on them.TO LIE OR NOT TOLIE—THE DOCTOR'S DILEMMASissela BokShould doctors ever lie to benefit their patients -- to speed recovery or to conceal the approach of death? In medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by greater needs: the need to shelter from brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy; to expose corruption or to promote the public interest.What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months? Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should the doctors deny that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least conceal the truth until after the family vacation?Doctors confront such choices often and urgently. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patient's own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide. As one physician wrote: "Ours is a profession which traditionally has been guided by a precept that transcends the virtue of uttering the truth for truth's sake, and that is 'as far as possible do no harm.'"Armed with such a precept, a number of doctors may slip into deceptive practices that they assume will "do no harm" and may well help their patients. They may prescribe innumerable placebos, sound more encouraging than the facts warrant, and distort grave news, especially to the incurably ill and the dying.But the illusory nature of the benefits such deception is meant to produce is now coming to be documented. Studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, an overwhelming majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about grave illness, and feel betrayed when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness: helps them tolerate pain better, need less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.Not only do lies not provide the "help" hoped for by advocates of benevolent deception; they invade the autonomy of patients and render them unable to make informed choices concerning their own health, including the choice of whether to be patient in the first place. We are becoming increasingly aware of all that can befall patients in the course of their illness when information is denied or distorted.Dying patients especially -- who are easies to mislead andmost often kept in the dark -- can then not make decisions about the end of life: about whether or not they should enter a hospital, or have surgery; about where and with whom they should spend their remaining time; about how they should bring their affairs to a close and take leave.Lies also do harm to those who tell them: harm to their integrity and, in the long run, to their credibility. Lies hurt their colleagues as well. The suspicion of deceit undercuts the work of the many doctors who are scrupulously hones with their patients; it contributes to the spiral of lawsuits and of "defensive medicine," and thus it injures, in turn, the entire medical profession.Sharp conflicts are now arising. Patients are learning to press for answers. Patients' bills of rights require that they be informed about their condition and about alternatives for treatment. Many doctors go to great lengths to provide such information. Yet even in hospitals with the most eloquent bill of rights, believers in benevolent deception continue their age-old practices. Colleagues may disapprove but refrain from objecting. Nurses may bitterly resent having to take part, day after day, in deceiving patients, but feel powerless to take a stand.There is urgent need to debate this issue openly. Not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception. Yet the public has every reason to be wary of professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted, to spread, and to erode trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, "What you don't know can't hurt you."New Wordsdilemman. a situation in which one has to make a choice between two equally unsatisfactory things; a difficult choice 窘境，进退两难benefitvt. do good to 有益于recoveryn. the process or fact of getting back to a former state of good health; the state of recovering or being recoverd 痊愈;复得concealvt. hide, keep from being seen or known 隐瞒linen. a business, profession, trade, etc. 行业dwarfvt. cause to appear small by comparison 使矮小，使相形见绌n. a person, animal, or plant of much less than the usual size 矮小;矮小的动(植)物sheltervi. take shelter; find protection 躲避vt. provide shelter for; protect 掩蔽;庇护brutala. cruel, severeupholdvt. support 支撑;维护secrecyn. the practice of keeping secrets; the state of being secret exposevt. disclose; leave uncovered or unprotected 揭露;暴露corruptionn. dishonesty; immoral behaviour 腐化，道德败坏promotevt. help to grow or develop; raise in rank, condition, or importance 促进，推进;提升checkupn. a general medical examinationminimizevt. reduce to the smallest possible amount or degreegravityn. the quality of being serious critical 严重性confrontvt. meet face to face; oppose (勇敢地)面对;对抗urgentlyad. in an urgent manner 紧急地，急迫地urgent a.self-servinga. serving one's own interests; seeking advantage for oneself 利已的recovervi. get well; get back to a normal conditiondeterioratev.

现代大学英语4——paraphrase答案UNIT11.Nature had endowed the rest of the human race with a six sense and left me out.( Everybody, except me, was born with the ability to think.)2.You should hear the wind, trapped in his chest struggling with all the unnatural impediments(障碍物).His body would rell(眩晕) with shock and his face go white at the unaccustomed visitation. He would stagger back(蹒跚走回) to his desk and collapse(突然倒下/陷下) there，useless for the rest of the morning.(You could hear the fresh air struggling with difficulty to find its way to its chest, because his chest seemed to be unhealthy, as drinking had obviously harmed his lungs. He would lose balance and his face would become pale as a result of the unexpected attack of the wind. He would not be able to stand steadily so that he had to fall into the chair, unable to do anything for the rest of the morning.)3.In this instance, he seemed to me ruled not by thought but by an invisible and irresistible不可抗拒的spring in the neck.(In this situation, Mr. Hought on didn’t behave in accordance with和谐his high moral tone; he would feel a strong urge to turn his head and look at the girls.)4.Technically, it is about proficient精通的as most businessmen’s golf, as honest as most politicians’ intentio ns, or as coherent(逻辑上连贯的) as most books that get written.( The author holds most businessmen, politicians and writers in contempt 藐视; in his eyes, they are in competent, dishonest and incoherent.）5.They have immense solidarity.We had better respect them, for we are outnumbered数量上超过的and surrounded被……环绕的.(They are so daunting(吓人的) in number that we had better not offend them as they are everywhere.)6.Man enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way on the side of a hill .(Just as cows eat grass on the same side of a hill, so humans enjoy following the crowd because it can bring them peace, security, comfort and harmony.)7.To hear our Prime Minister talk about the great benefit we conferred on India by jailing people like Nehru and Gandhi.To hear American politicians talk about peace and refuse to join the League of Nations. Yes, there were moments of delight.(What a hypocrite伪君子our Prime Minister was when he said that the imprisonment of the two major leaders of Free-India Movement was good for India.)8.I said my arm around her waist and murmured that if we were counting heads, the Buddhists were the boys for my money. She fled（挣脱/逃走）. The combination of my arm and those countless Buddhists was too much for her.(when it came to the number of believers of a certain religion, the Buddhism would have the most. My “indecent(不礼貌的)” behavior and the daunting number of the Buddhists scared her off.)9.It was Ruth all over again.I had some very good friends who stood by me , and still do. But my acquaintances vanished, talking the girls with them.( What happened to Ruth and me now happened again. Some close friends still struck by me. But my grade-one thinking scared away many of my acquaintances.)。

Paraphrase: This does not mean that we had no way of knowing what year, or season, or day, or hour it was and of remembering when such important events as births, weddings, deaths, disasters happened.But ours was a natural or, rather, a divine-calendar, because it was framed by acts of God: earthquakes and droughts and floods and locusts and pestilences.… We used natural disasters to keep track of time and of the important events in our lives. This was a natural calendar, a divine calendar, for sunrise and sunset, the change of seasons, and earthquakes and droughts and floods and locusts and pestilences were all works of God.And that’s the way it was in our little village for as far back as anybody could remember. And that’s how we kept track of the importa nt events in our little village for as long as the oldest people could remember.Simple as our calendar was, it worked just fine for us.Paraphrase: Although our calendar was simple, this way of keeeping track of time and of the important events in our lives served our purpose well enough.You couldn’t be more accurate than that, now, could you ?Paraphra se : That’s the more accurate answer I could get.And that’s the way it was… for as far back as anybody could remember.

Paraphrase: Like oil, water, a natural resource, which has for a long time been stupidly wasted, is becoming an expensive commodity, and will soon be exhausted by the excessive consumption of humanity.3，Everyone must use less water if famine,……are not to sweep the globe.Paraphrase: All of us must use less water to avoid such disasters as famine, epidemic, and mass migration throughout the world.4，The language is often overblown, and the remedies……but the basic message is not wrong. Paraphrase: The language used in these books and articles are often exaggerated, and the solutions suggested sometimes do not sound sensible5，Bringing supply and demand into equilibrium……to cause trouble.Paraphrase: It is extremely difficult to balance people’s demand for more water and the amount of water that is available.6，To carry on with present practice would indeed be to invite disaster.Paraphrase: If people maintain their present lifestyle and continue wasting water the way they do, they would head for disaster.7，One reason is that the supply of water is finite.Paraphrase: One reason is that the amount of water available is limited.8，The world will have no more of it in 2025 or 2050……at the sides of Noah’s Ark. Paraphrase: In 2025 or 2050, the world’s water supply will be the same as it is today, or in the days of Noah.9，Flooding is routine, and may become more frequent and damaging with climate change.

Paraphrase: However, the current issue is that even within the same basin, the values of water are different in its various places.13，…as the demands of farmers have outgrown their supplies of rain and surface water. Paraphrase: … as farmers need more fresh water than they can get from rivers, lakes and reservoirs as well as rainfalls.14，Part of the beauty of the borehole is that it requires no elaborate apparatus. Paraphrase: Obtaining water out of the ground by drilling deep holes is easy, requiring no complicated equipment.15，That is why India and China are now perforated……drawing on the common resource.

Its low price does not show the scarcity of it.18，Priced or not, water is certainly valued, and that value depends on the use to which it is harnessed.Paraphrase: Whether it is reasonably priced or not, water is a valuable resource, and the value is determined by the purpose it is made to serve.19，…and for this there is no substitute.Paraphrase: …and no other stuff can replace water.20，That is why many people believe water to be a human right,……or a roof over the head.

It is an insidious practice, all the uglier for its blatancy.The media’s malicious use of the small segment of black America to represent the whole of it is harmful and offensive.2. The free press, indeed, as the main interpreter of American culture and American experience, holds the mirror on American reality －so much so that what the media say is, even if it’s not that way at all.The media are supposed to present American culture and American experience truthfully by reflecting American reality, and people usually accept news reports as truth without any doubt. Unfortunately, in many cases what they present is anything but the truth.The distorted, inaccurate coverage of news is worse than covering nothing at all about blacks.4. Nor is it a matter of closing one’s eyes to the very real problems of the urban underclass －which undeniably is disproportionately black.We should never ignore the existence of real problems of the urban underclass －which undeniably is disproportionately black.5. For the millions of black people like myself －ordinary, hard-working, law-abiding, tax-paying Americans －the media’s blindness to the fact that we even exist, let alone to our contributions to American society, is a bitter cup to drink.Most black people work hard, obey the law and pay all kinds of taxes. We have made our contributions to American society, as all the other Americans have.But the media never notice and cover it. This is really agonizing for the blacks.Unit1catastrophic灾难的，悲惨的amisfortune不幸，灾难n desperately极度地，绝望地adunmeasured未经测量的amenace威胁，恐吓（或存在类似危害的人或事）nlull暂停deceptive 欺骗性的误导的atriumph胜利成功n imposter 冒名顶替者n far-reaching 深远的，广泛的aaddress 致辞，演说v petty 琐碎的，不重要的aconviction 深信确信n apparently显然地ad overwhelming压倒性的amight 力量威力权力n liquidate清算结束终止v sponge海绵nslate石板nflinch畏缩畏惧v persevere坚持v compliment称赞恭维褒扬vventure敢于vstern严厉的，苛刻的a station身份地位nUnit2velvet 天鹅绒，丝绒n inch慢慢移动v minutely 详细地精密地adannoyance烦恼nsidle侧身而行悄悄地贴近vscribble潦草地写画v shuffle拖后腿，拖累v hugger-mugger混乱的无序的aslinky一个玩具品牌nquaint古试的，吸引人的agratifying悦人的令人满足的aintuitive直觉的aintuitively直觉地直观地adpenetrate穿过进入vwedge挤进塞入vpedestrian步行者nzigzag曲折行进vjostle推挤撞vfidget坐立不安vfidgety不安的烦躁的arelentless不间断的aproximity亲近接近临近nallure诱使vproliferation增殖ninfuse灌输注入沏泡vcaffeine咖啡因njangling焦虑的alogistics 后勤ntread踩踏vspread施展蔓延nwager打赌vtrespass 入侵vmutter嘀咕vlament哀悼悔恨vgrant同意vexpansionist 扩张主义者nstake 打赌vannex 吞并vroutinely例行公事的acommandeer征募霸占vfoursome四人组nshrink收缩皱缩vgenome基因组nneuroscientist 神经学家nsouped-up强有力的aneuron神经细胞ntidal潮汐的atidal wave潮汐ncontracting收缩的缩小的aUnit3alienation疏远精神错乱nforum论坛naccess进入接近nmodal形式的apotential潜力nglobalization全球化ndramatically引人注目地，戏剧性地adfragmentation碎片alienate使疏远vaddicted沉溺的，上瘾的aalcoholic酗酒者nmoderate适度的中等的aexaggeration夸张夸大其词故作姿态nbinge狂欢放纵nskew使歪斜vdepress使沮丧vdepressed沮丧的afoster培养vsimulate模仿冒充vsimulated模仿的acyberspace网络空间nsurf网上冲浪vperceive理解认识到察觉到vconverse相反反面ngratification满意喜悦noyster一个随心所欲的世界Unit4dispatch派遣vconstitute组成构成vartistry工艺npulse脉冲脉搏nledge 壁架nunearthly神秘的arubble碎石nwreckage残骸nstumble蹒跚voutskirts郊区nintact完整的aapprehend担心忧虑vperil危险冒险ncounterpoise保持平衡vcontinuation继续延长nUnit5tapestry挂毯nbudget预算nchase 追赶追逐nshoot-out枪战ncosmic无穷的aaffecting感人的aresiliency恢复力ntissue网络ndrastic激烈的adrastically激烈地adbuddy密友nflick电影ntrendy时髦的流行的atrendiness 时髦nvérité实录电影ncelluloid电影胶片nsidekick助手伙伴natavistic返祖现象ncull挑选vbounding人际关系nprimal最初的基本的aattachment依附依恋nadversity灾难逆境npalpable易察觉的明显的apalpably 明显地adaccessory配件装饰物nloathsome令人憎恶的aconfidence信任信心nconfess坦白vwretched令人苦恼的amoan呻吟vrestraint限制约束ngrievance不满不平委屈nclaustrophobic自闭症的achum密友ntrench战壕ntrench mate战友nUnit6regulation 符合规定的官方的aprompt引起v expatriate定居国外v barbecue烧烤n suppress抑制镇压v heritage遗产ntwinge阵痛nunease不安nlacuna隔阂空隙n lacunae pl.folly 愚蠢的行为想法n convey传达vreenact再现v reenactment情景再现n skirmish短暂而激烈的斗争nlaunch发动发起v bonnet遮阳帽n goggle-eyed瞪大眼睛的amake-believe虚拟的a swell充满了vpursue继续v enlightenment启发启蒙nriposte机敏的回答v resonate共鸣v sinister邪恶的a personify人格化v cliché陈词滥调n backdrop背景npeer平辈nfleecy质感的a fleeciness质感n confront面临vjarring不和谐的a immersed融入的a Unit7campaign 行动n publicize宣传公布v supplant取代v empirical基于…考虑的apublicity公众注意力n clinch赢得vspot插播广告nswing转变vdictate支配vpriority优先考虑的事n close-up特写ncoverage新闻版面nincumbency任职nplatform政策ndepart脱离违背vdeparture偏差背离ncharisma个人魅力ncondense浓缩压缩vspectacular惊人的壮观的atestament证明norientation定位nelectorate选举人nbog事陷于泥沼，使动弹不得vbe bogged down阻止发展使停顿newscaster播报员ndenounce公开指责谴责vdetrimental有害的acloud使模糊不清voverrate过高评价vhyperbole夸张nimagery意象形象化ntranscript副本nprofuse丰富的很多的aUnit8undersized小于一般尺寸的anerve神经nagony遭受痛苦ndelusion错觉ngrandeur地位显赫的nconceit狂妄自负nexhaust使筋疲力尽vexhausting十分烦人的aconversationalist健谈的人ntiresome讨人厌的amania狂躁nharangue高谈阔论nvoluble口若悬河，健谈的avolubility流利健谈nvegetarianism素食主义者npamphlet小册子nrave咆哮vsuicidal自我毁灭的agloom压抑ncallous无情的麻木的ashudder战栗发抖vgroveling卑躬屈膝aloftily 傲慢地自负地abenefactor施主，捐助者nrecipient接受者nrajah一印第安国王nunscrupulous寡廉鲜耻的aprocession列队队伍ninfidelity不忠诚无信仰nidiotic白痴的aarrogance傲慢无礼ncaricature漫画n讽刺vburlesque做戏使滑稽vlibretto剧本ntestimony证据证词nstupendous惊人的巨大的amistress情妇ncompromise妥协nconceive想出vdownright完全地adtorment煎熬ndemon恶魔nUnit9stance态度立场nassemble集合装配收集vfurtive鬼鬼祟祟的秘密的atan晒成褐色vclose-cropped剪成非常短的avile相当使人不愉快的讨人厌的arepose睡眠休息nsnowbound被雪困住的abonsai盆栽nprune修剪vfacsimile传真复写nacknowledge告知已收到vcache贮存物隐藏物nkickshaw精美的菜肴nawkwardly笨拙地不雅地adstump剩余部分nscab疤nforceps医用镊子nshard碎片ndisinfectant消毒剂ninert迟缓的呆滞的aathwart横跨prepscramble使混乱vscrambled egg炒蛋vdome圆屋顶nprobe调查探测vheft举起测试重量vaccomplice同谋共犯noatmeal燕麦粥ndeceased已故的adignified有尊严的高贵的aUnit10trilogy三部曲nstutter结巴口吃vstutterer口吃的人nsnicker偷笑窃笑ntraumatic创伤的acatfish鲶鱼nprodigious巨大的anondenominational不限于一宗教宗派的ahumiliate使丢脸羞辱vvent（感情）发泄vpound连续打击vgrit研磨vretreat休息寓所nsavor尽情享受vkinship同族者nsermon训诫启示ncritique批评批评文章nsmirk假笑nwry歪曲的adaze迷惑ndubious无把握的半信半疑的cadence节奏ntutelage教导指导noratorical演说的amaneuver军事演习nmentor指导者nvibrant战栗的响亮的aresurrect使复活复兴vabundant 丰富的a.。
英语专业阅读教程第四册课后paraphrase的答案
英语专业阅读教程第四册课后paraphrase的答案Unit one passage two P61 Many children refuse to eat animal meat at first. They later become used to eating it because their parents try hard to persuade them to eat.2 There are two different and conflicting attitudes towards animals. They are carefully separated so that the existing and the essential contradiction between the two hardly causes trouble.3 Picture books and stories deliberately avoid presenting the real situation in our modern farms. Children, therefore, are kept from seeing the reality.4 The difficulty will be that non-vegetarian parents do not want to let their children know the gruesome side of the story, as they are afraid that their children will refuse to eat meat at meals because of their sympathy towards animals.5 Unfortunately, non-vegetarian parents will strongly disapprove of their children’sunwillingness to eat meat.Passage 3 P 161 When his animals are being experimented on, the act doesn’t take effect.2 Your experimenter is not refused to obey law.3 Researchers at Louisiana State University launched an eight-year, $2 million project funded by the Department of Defense. They use tools to hold cats firmly and then they remove cats’skulls and shoot them in the head.4 The experimenters claim that their purpose for this kind of experiment is to find a way of curing the brain-wounded soldiers so that they later can go back to military service.5 psychologists use medical operations to turn around the eyes of young cats.6 there is other evidence showing that cats were not adequately anesthetized while experimenters cut their eye muscles; animalexperimentation was done by people who were not trained and did not have licenses to operate on animals, and the mother cats was conflicted such great torture on by the experiments that they ate their babies.Unit 2 passage two P 331 now we can enjoy the benefits and list in what ways we benefit from his death.2 There must be some other benefits by fastening Harding into a chair in a tiny room and poisoning him to death with gas.3 not even people who are eloquently in supporting of executing people, such as Arizona Attorney Grant Woods, who attracts much public attention, believe that death penalty will keep people from committing crimes.4 but even killing a small number of murderers will have great impact on people5 perhaps the benefit got form killing Harding is not easy to see.Passage 3 page 381 her voice and her expression show that she is sometimes deep in sorrow and sometimes furious beyond her control.2 This sense of justice, like many other basic beliefs, is such a necessary element for us to maintain our psychological health that we take it too granted and hardly ever become aware of its existence, until one day it was severely violated.3 People’s opinions greatly differ as to what is the properway for correcting wrong behavior.4 Europeans are very passionate when coming to the issue of taking tough measures on political violence.Passage 4 page 441 carefully examined Tony’s bed to see if he had dirtied it with his body fluids.2 when I looked at the sickly old man, I couldn’t imagine that he used to be clean and neat, serious and determined, and that herobbed a bank and killed a cop.3 Many people in the underworld believed that Tony should have done something for his partner, but he did nothing, which badly hurts his partners. The underworld people believed Tony’s partners had been betrayed.4 words had gone around that T ony’s wife was murdered because the underworld people wanted to revenge against tony for the death of his three crime partners.5 The lights shining in the window made the hollows in his dark face look deeper, making him look like somewhat evil.Unit 5 passage 1 p1041competition plays such an important part in our culture that it is common to see even adults are screaming and swearing in the Sunday afternoon. This is ridiculous and I feel very bad about it..2 from my own experience, I don’t think we can d evelop deep and full relationship bytrying to compete and win against a common enemy.3 If my success means that I have to do better than others, I don’t think I will ever feel real satisfactory, because I have to keep thinking of how to outdo others, which was very unpleasantan exhausting.4 even when I reach the top position, I will not feel safe as all those below me are waiting to outdo me and trying to grab the position from me.5 I start to see that my confidence in my personal value and worth is depended on how much better I am than so many others in so many activities.6 only when we begin to realize that there is no such a thing as healthy competition can we begin to live more normal and richer lives.Passage 2 p1091 You knew that one had healthy self-esteem when he/she could enjoy competing in a hobbywhere he/she was not very good at.2 A true competition is one in which you don’t know for sure whether or not you will able to achieve your aim.3 For many of us, competition is an additional ingredient that keeps our life interesting, makes us alter and active and enables us to become more creative and productive.4 It can be a good part of our life and exerts a great influence on how we live.5 parents must also set an example of how to compete pleasantly in their own lives.Passage 31 competition can be fun, but we may be overenthusiastic and unreasonable about it.2 candidates who sit in a test performance in order to join certain bands can get undeniable violent and aggressive.3 feel free to find a gift in yourself develop it and embarrass those who dare to challenge you.4 if competition is not fun and people find themselves are extremely worried about an event which they are competing in. why not stop going through it?。

1.His spectacles caught the light so that you could see nothing human behind them. There was no possibility of communication.The teacher’s glasses caught the light and therefore the boy could not see the teacher’s eyes. He could not have any eye contact. He could not have any communication with him. The implied meaning of this sentence is that they could not communicate, not because of this but because of the teacher’s lack of understanding of the boy.2.Mr. Houghton was given to high-minded monologues about the good life, sexless and full of duty.Obviously in Mr. Houghton’s clean life, there is no place for alcoholic drink, sex, and other worldly pleasures. This is, of course, ironical.3.She claimed that the Bible was literally inspired. I countered by saying that the Catholics believed in the literal inspiration of Saint Jerome’s Vulgate and the two books were different. Argument flagged“Both Methodists and Catholics believed that their Books are a true record of the God’s divine plan.” The author used this example to defy Ruth’s illogical opinion, therefore the argument became dull because Ruth didn’t know how to respond to it.4.It was Ruth all over again. I had some very good friends who stood by me, and still do. But my acquaintances vanished, taking the girls with themWhat had happened to Ruth and me now happened again. My grade-two thinking frightened away many of my acquaintances.5.Their common-sense reaction to this state of affairs is to conclude that one historian is right while the other is wrongWhen a person is faced with this kind of situation, the normal, practical response will be that one historian is right whereas the other is wrong.6.Obviously they cannot know everything for the simple reason that not every event, every happening, was fully and completely recorded.Many events and happenings were not recorded or fully and completely recorded because people at the time did not have the time, energy, interest or the necessary means. Often they were not recorded because they were considered too trivial, too embarrassing, or too dangerous to be known. Many records have also been distorted, lost, or destroyed in fire, flood, war or through decay . That is why historians have such a formidable task.7.Therefore the historian can only approximate history at best. No one can ever claim to have concluded the questTherefore the best the historian can do is to get as near as possible to the historical truth. But no one can ever boast that he/she has completed this search. It goes on for ever.8.The choice as to which fact to use is based on a theory—admittedly, in this case a rather crude theory, but a theory nonethelessThe choice concerning which fact to use is based on a theory. I am willing to concede that the theory used here is unrefined, yet it is still a theory9.It is the mere “parroting” of ideas picked up by chance and adopted as our own without question. Most people, most of the time, are mere parrotsMost people, most of the time, are mere parrots. They simply echo, or re peat others’ ideas without question.10.An assumed or dogmatic proposition which had been universally accepted as “obvious”;and which, when challenged, was supported by reference to a dogma of Aristotle. Until Galileo actually demonstrated the contrary, nothing could have seemed more beyond possibility or doubtIt was a proposition that had been universally accepted as an obvious truth. Whenever it was challenged, it would be proved true with the strong support of Aristotle’s theory, one of the most firmly held dogmas. It would never be questioned or doubted if there was no Galileo who proved that the contrary was true by means of a demonstration.11.Other beliefs are held through self-interest. Modern psychology leaves us no room for doubt on this point. We adopt and cling to some beliefs because—or partly because—it “pays” us to do soWe hold and cling to some beliefs merely because it is in our interest to believe them. Modern psychology has already proved this point, and as a result, there is nothing to doubt.12.Indeed, he would probably be highly indignant if told of what anyone familiar with modern psychology can recognize so plainlyHe would surely feel furious if someone told him a plain fact that he had held some beliefs through self-interest, which anyone who is familiar with modern psychology can recognize very easily.13.There is many a man who is unconsciously compelled to cling to a belief because he is a “somebody” in some circle—and if he were to abandon that belief, he would find himself nobody at all. (Para. 15)Many people are forced to hold a belief because he has become an important person in his group. If he gave up that belief, he would turn insignificant at once.14.Putting it broadly, we should always suspect any of our opinions when we recognize that our happiness depends, directly or indirectly, upon our continuing to hold them—when we might lose anything, material or otherwise by changing our opinionIf by changing our opinions we might lose something and therefore be unhappy, we must be suspicious about these opinions and try to find out whether we are not being blinded by our self-interest15.The lazy and bungling person can adopt a set of opinions which prove to his satisfaction that “the grapes are sour”—the “grape” being th e rewards that more energetic and competent men can win. (Para. 17)The lazy and stupid person can readily adopt a set of opinions without questioning why, since they clearly know that these opinions are unobtainable to them, only people who have energy and ability can be rewarded with these opinions.16.The “brain path” becomes so well worn; the pattern of brain-centers becomes so well connected up by continual use, that the nerve current finds a route of practically no resistance, and so it always takes almost exactly the same courseWe tend to hold old ideas because they are familiar and make us feel secure and comfortable. They are comfortable because we are following the same brain path which offers no resistance, and our thinking tends to follow the easy path the way water flows along a course which has the least resistance.17.Her short-lived love was gone. Henceforth she was only her husband’s helper to till the earth.Her shorThe love they had for each other did not last long. Their romance was now replaced bytheir necessity to face the hard work. From then on, she was merely her husband’s helper and had to work side by side with himt-lived love was gone. Henceforth she was only her husband’s helper to till the earth18.There was a sharpness in the still thin air that made the men jump on their spade halts ferociously and beat the sods as if they were living enemiesThe chilly and biting air of early spring made the peasants work fiercely with their spades, beating the sods as if they were enemies19.Birds hopped silently before the spades, with their heads cocked sideways, watching for worms. Made brave by hunger, they often dashed under the spades to secure their food. Birds hopped here and there around the working peasants, turning their heads to one side in order to look for worms. The desire for food was so strong that they even dared to dash under the spades to get their food.20.The global economy may be prone to harsher boom-bust cycles than national economies individually. (Para. 19)Once integrated with the world market, nations will naturally be more vulnerable to the fluctuations of the world economy. The capital flows in and out of a country, for example, can create a boom or bust very quickly and with much harsher effects.21.it became apparent that as a result of "crony capitalism", inept governmentpolicies and excess optimism, much of the investment had been wasted onunneeded factories, office buildings and apartments.It became clear that because of the corruption in those countries where political and financial resources are in the hands of a few privileged people along with their dishonest friends, their foolish government policies and unreasonable optimism, much of the investment was wasted on unneeded factories and a real estate bubble.22.But this does not mean that a powerful popular backlash, with unpredictable consequences, is not possible.But this does not mean that a powerful hostile reaction from ordinary people, which will have unpredictable consequences, is not possible.23.A plausible presumption is that practical politicians would try to protect their constituent s from global glut s.We can presume that practical politicians would no doubt try to protect their voters from the flood of products from other countries.24.He saw the straight flight was futile; inevitably it would bring him face to face with the sea. He was in a picture with a frame of water, and his operations, clearly must take place within that frame.He realized the straight escape was useless; of course it would make him face the sea. He was surrounded by the sea, and as a result all his actions must be carried out within the frame of water.25.Rainsford’s impulse was to hurl himself down like a panther, but he saw that the gen eral’s right hand held something metallic—a small automatic pistolRainsford’s first reaction was to jump upon General Zaroff and take his chances, but then he was checked by the sight of the pistol in the general’s right hand.。

Anybody who knows anything about New York knows the city’s essen tial platitude –that you don’t wander around Central Park at night – and in that, needless to say, was the appeal: it was the thing you don’t do.(para.1)Paraphrase: Everybody who knows New York knows that you should not wander in Central Park at night because it is too dangerous.

One of the first events in the Park took place 140 years ago almost to the day: a band concert.
