If you drive for 10 minutes, you’re in it and it’s beautiful.W4: I love the countryside. It’s a nice change to living in London and I enjoy taking weekends out. Um I enjoy camping.M4: I enjoy the countryside be cause I’ve,I’ve lived there for about 37 years. And particularly I enjoyed (enjoy) gardening – growing a lot of vegetables.Part 2F: The thing I like most about being in the countryside is watching animals and birds. How about you? Do you like wildlife?W1: Well, I am, er, an animal lover. Er, I’m a vegetarian as well.W4: I like wildlife and animals. Er, since I was a little girl, I’ve always really liked foxes for some reason.

Now, did you know there are more than six billion people on the planet, and by 2050 there might be more than nine billion? People are living longer and healthier lives than ever before, but a big population means big problems for the planet.Part 2Let’s look at three of the most important problems. The first problem is water. Many people in the world can’t get enough water. But in some countries we use too much. A person in Gambia, Africa, for example, uses much less water than someone in the United States. In Gambia, one person uses four and a half liters of water a day. But in the US it’s 600 liters. And to make the problem worse, the deserts are gettingbigger. The Sahara Desert is one of the hottest places in the world, and is already the largest desert. But each year it gets bigger than before, so it gets more difficult to find clean water. Our second problem is the animals. There are more people on the earth than ever before. This means we use more space. And for the animals this means that there is less space than before. One example is the Amazon Rainforest. It has the highest number of plant and animal species in the world, but it’s getting smaller every year. People are destroying the rainforest to make more space for houses, roads and farms. In the last 10 years we have destroyed more than 150,000 square kilometers of forest –that’s an area larger than Greece! So in the future, many plants and animal species will become extinct. And the last problem on our list, but not the least important, is the weather. The world is getting warmer. The ice in Greenland is melting faster than ever before. Also sea levels are rising. This means that soon some of the world’s most important cities, like New York, London, Bangkok, Sydney and Rio de Janeiro might all be under water.ViewingScriptsJL = Joanna Lumley; T = Tura; KS = Kjetil SkoglieJL: The far north. Fairytale mountains. It’s just fabulously beautiful. The land of the magical Northern Lights is somewhere I’ve longed for all my life. As a little girl I lived in the steamy heat of tropical Malaysia. I used to yearn to be cold. I’d never even seen snow. But my storybooks were full of snow queens, and now I’m enteringthat world. This is the journey I’ve always dreamt of making. I feel I’ve come into another world now. No people except you and us. And if we’re very lucky we might see the elusive Northern Lights. I pack up things that are going to be essential on every trip. So in here I’ve got, for instance, oil-based pastels; and I’ve got a lovely little drawing book, but I’ve got that colored pages so that you can draw in different colors; a lovely old guidebook –it’s called The Land of the Vikings. It’s got beautiful old maps. Look at that. But if it wasn’t for one item in my case, I wouldn’t be on this journey at all. This is the book: Ponny the Penguin. This is when I first heard of the Northern Lights. And there was this picture which haunted me of a sort of rippling curtain and a little tiny penguin. This is not your average taxi rank at the station. I’m in the hands of Tura Christiansen and his team of 11 sled dogs. Good morning. I’m Joanna.T: Tura.JL: Tura. How nice to see you, Tura.T: Yes.JL: These are wonderful dogs.T: They like to … to, er …JL: They like to run?T: Yes.JL: The weather near Troms? is uncertain. But local guide, Kjetil Skoglie, promises me we’ll track down the lights even if it takes till morning. I can’t see anything, Kjetil.KS: No, it’s … it’s nothing yet. You just have to be patient.JL: OK, so I just wait here.KS: Yeah, you just wait here.JL: Yeah.KS: Good luck.JL: Thanks, Kjetil. I stand in the pitch-black by the side of the fjord, and wait. Look, much brighter there. Oh, something’s happening there. Oh … Look up here! Look what’s happening here! Look at that! Oh … Oh!Look at this! And it just keeps changing and changing. I can’t believe I’m seeing this. It’s fantastic and it’s coming back again. I have been waiting all my life to see the Northern Lights. I’m as happy as can be. This is the most astonishing thing I have ever, ever seen.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsPart 1A: The best sense of direction? Perhaps it’s the butterfly.B: Er … I’m not sure.A: It’s hard to say. Well, it could be sea turtles.B: Maybe.A: They swim everywhere, don’t they?B: Um, i t might be, but I think it’s the butterfly.It can’t be the taxi driver, can it?A: It’s definitely not the taxi driver.C: OK, here are the answers. Sea turtles travel 3,000 miles a year. And when they lay eggs, they go back to the place where they were born. So they have a great sense of direction. New York taxi drivers drive 37,500 miles a year. They know the fastest way to any address in New York. But sea turtles and taxi drivers do not have the best sense of direction!B: So it must be the butterfly.C: The winner is the monarch butterfly. At the end of every summer, they fly from Canada to Mexico. And no one knows how they do it.Part 2A: Er, so who’s the best athlete? That’s a good question.B: I’m not sure.A: It could be triathletes.B: Or rats?C: Rats are the winners. A rat is the superman of animals. Rats can kill animals that are much bigger than they are, and they can eat electric wires. They can swim a mile and survive in water for 3 days. They can also jump 3 feet and fall 45 feet and survive.A: That’s amazing.Part 3B: Who sleeps the most? Let me think. Um, it can’t be the human baby, can it? And it’s not the black bear.A: It must be the sloth. They spend most of their lives asleep.B: So what’s the answer?C: Well, the black bear sleeps for about 7 months a year. The females are even half asleep when they have their babies.B: Wow.C: Human babies usually sleep about 18 hours a day, but only in their first few months. So sloths are the winner. They sleep 15 to 18 hours a day for their whole life.Group discussionScriptsA: OK, the most beautiful place I’ve been to … Well, a few years ago I went to Fish River Canyon.B: Where?A: Fish River Canyon. It’s the second biggest canyon in the world.B: After the Grand Canyon?A: After the Grand Canyon.B: Where is it?A: It’s in Namibia, in Africa.B: Wow. And what did you think of it?A: Ah, it was amazing! The first thing you notice is how big it is, of course.B: Of course.A: It just goes on and on as far as your eye can see. But the best thing about it was thesilence.B: Right.A: It was so amazingly quiet. We went there in August and there weren’t many tourists and it was just so quiet.B: Would you like to go back?A: I would love to go back. One day!B: One day.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: We offer some very exciting tours plus the best luxury hotels. The most popular places are Thailand and India. Have you got any idea of where you’d like to go?M: Well, we were thinking of flying to a small island where we can enjoy some special local food.Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?Conversation 2M: Have you ever tried diving in the sea? No words can describe the beauty of the sea. You lose track of time down there!W: No, I’m kind of frightened. I mean I hear all these stories about getting sick from going up too fast to the surface and dangerous fish.Q: What makes the woman scared of diving?Conversation 3W: Many people are concerned about the rising costs of fuel.M: I think they are a little short-sighted; they should look on the bright side. With higher costs, people will be forced to use less energy. We can thus save more energy, which is good for the environment.Q: What does the man think of the rise of fuel costs?Conversation 4M: I’ve never been to the mountains before. I’m not much of an adventurer, you know.W: Well, join us. It’s great spending some time with friends and just being close to nature. And when you come back, you’ll be a new person, relaxed and ready to study again.Q: According to the woman, what can the man benefit from going to the mountains? Conversation 5M: Look! The sun is shining. We haven’t seen the sun for ages. It’s been raining for a week! It’s much too beautiful a day to waste indoors reading, cooking or cleaning. W: You are right. Let’s make the most of it.Q: What are the man and woman probably going to do?Long conversationScriptsW: I just saw a great movie about the true story of Christopher McCandless’ trip to the Alaskan wilderness in 1992. It was so inspiring! His love of nature was so beautiful.M: Well, I read about his story. He was foolish and just threw his life away!W: Why would you say that? It’s a shame that he died, but at least he lived doing what he loved. Can you imagine living in Alaska alone, eating only the plants you can gather and the animals you can hunt?M: No, that’s just it! He died in the wilderness because he thought nature was magical and kind. He needed to realize that nature is powerful and full of risks! Christopher was completely unprepared for the many dangers of the Alaskan wilderness.W: Like what? He found shelter and he had a gun to hunt!M: He did not use his map of the area – there was a boat where he could get help only a quarter of a mile away! H e didn’t have any emergency food supplies! Most of all, he had no emergency communication equipment. Any one of those three things would have saved his life!W: Yes, he should have been more prepared, but I still admire what he was trying to do.M: It’s no t romantic! Five famous outdoor specialists were interviewed. They all said he should have lived. He died because he was unprepared!W: Still, I admire his spirit for trying!Q1: What are the man and woman talking about?Q2: What can we learn about Christopher?Q3: What does the woman think about Christopher taking the trip to Alaska?Q4: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as something that would have saved Christopher’s life?Passage 1ScriptsWithin five seconds of taking off, an avalanche can move at 80 miles an hour, so people rarely have time to run out of the way. But these days, avalanches don’t often strike skiers at official skiing zones because the ski patrol makes sure the skiing areas are safe.An avalanche occurs when one entire area or layer of snow slides off another layer below it. When a layer starts to slide, anything on top is carried along, and the avalanche picks up whatever lies in its path as it moves down a slope, including rocks, trees and people. When a person starts to travel across an area of unstable snow, their weight can start a slide.As long as skiers stay in the official ski areas, they don’t have to worry. “We control the hazard, so it is unlikely you’ll get caught,” explains Mike, a snow safety expert. “We do that by p ressing the snow together to make it more solid, and we use explosives to make an avalanche move or to test an area to see if it is unstable.” This work can be dangerous, so ski patrol members look out for each other and keep the public at a safe distance.Mike and his colleagues also dig holes in the snow to study the layers. After they go back, they enter measurements into a computer; a special software creates a chart showing how the different layers are holding up. If an area looks risky, the ski patrol closes it.Q1: What speed can an avalanche reach within five seconds of taking off?Q2: According to the passage, under what circumstances may an avalanche occur?Q3: What are skiers advised to do to avoid being caught in an avalanche?Q4: Why does the ski patrol use explosives?Passage 2Scripts and answersAnna was awarded a special day out for herself and her family after taking part in a competition run by a magazine in April, beating over 2,000 people who 1) participated in the event.Anna’s wild day out will include a special tour of the city’s nature park, with exclusive 2) access to areas of the site that are not usually available to the public. During her visit, Anna is likely to see some natural wonders including rare birds feeding their young and a 3) tremendous number of newly hatched chicks. Anna may also see a great flamingo 4) currently nesting at the nature park after it escaped from the zoo last year.The most 5) incredible thing is that Mike Dilger, a well-known wildlife reporter for BBC, will 6) accompany the family throughout the day. Mike is an experiencedbiologist, so he is ready to share his experiences and knowledge of the natural world every step of the way.Henry, manager of the nature park, says, “Visiting a nature park is a 7) remarkable way to learn more about types of wildlife that you just can’t see in your daily life. It’s an 8) amazing time of year for a visit –the hatching season is well underway, so there are lots of chicks hatching across the park, and as parents take regular trips to find food for their young, there is a very good chance of 9) catching a glimpse of some of our very rare birds. Anna will have a great day; we are really 10) looking forward to her visit.”。

Minimalist living, in simplest terms, is to live with as less as possible, mentally and physically until you achieve peace of mind. Results that ensue are less stress, more time, and increased happiness. Minimalists like to say that they're living more meaningfully, more deliberately, and that the minimalist lifestyle allows them to focus on what's more important in life: friends, hobbies, travel, experiences. Of course, minimalism doesn't mean there's anything inherently wrong with owning material possessions. Today's problem seems to be that we tend to give too much meaning to our things, often forsaking (抛弃) our health, ourrelationships, our passions, our personal growth, and our desire to contribute beyond ourselves. In addition to its application in people's daily life, minimalism also finds application in many creative disciplines, including art, architecture, design, dance, film making, theater, music, fashion, photography and literature.极简主义是指去掉多余的,仅保留需要的部分。
新视野大学英语第三版第二册第七单元Text B A proud homemaker课文及翻译
Text B A proud homemaker自豪的家庭主妇When hearing the word housewife, what comes to your mind?当听到“家庭主妇”这个词时,你想到的是什么?For many people, it's a picture of domestic discontent. Critics of the housewife style in the 1950s seem to find it disgusting that a woman should make it her life's work to raise children, clean dishes and make homemade meals, creating healthy home.对许多人而言,“家庭主妇”的形象就是对家务琐事充满抱怨不满。
19世纪50年代的家庭主妇毕生的工作就是养孩子,洗盘子,做饭,创建一个健康、快乐的家庭,批评家对这样的生活极其反感。
Are we so afraid of going backward that we’re too quick to condemn a different lifestyle?我们是不是因为太害怕倒退而过快地去谴责不同的生活方式呢?I remember my own working days before I settled down as a full-time homemaker.我记得我自己工作的那会几,那是在我安心当全职家庭主妇以前的事。
For the duration of time that I was working full time, I came home late, heated up a prepackaged dinner for my family, and busied myself with housework until crawling into bed each night, exhausted.在我干全职工作的那段期间,我回家很晚,为我的家人加热了包装食品作为晚餐后,就忙于家务,每天晚上直到疲惫不堪才爬上床。
新视野大学英语读写教程一第七单元作文
新视野大学英语读写教程一第七单元作文English:In my opinion, the ability to make decisions independently is crucial for personal growth and success. When we have the confidence to trust our own judgment and take ownership of our choices, we are more likely to learn from both our successes and failures. This self-reliance not only builds character but also fosters resilience in the face of challenges. By being proactive decision-makers, we can shape our own paths and create opportunities for growth and progress. Ultimately, the ability to make independent decisions empowers us to take control of our lives and strive towards our goals with confidence and determination.Chinese:在我看来,独立做出决策的能力对个人成长和成功至关重要。
当我们拥有信心相信自己的判断力并对自己的选择负责时,我们更有可能从成功和失败中学习。
这种自主性不仅建立了人格,还在面对挑战时培养了坚韧性。
通过积极决策,我们可以塑造自己的道路,为个人成长和进步创造机会。
最终,独立做出决策的能力赋予我们掌控自己生活的力量,并以自信和决心努力追求目标。

Minimalist living, in simplest terms, is to live with as less as possible, mentally and physically until you achieve peace of mind. Results that ensue are less stress, more time, and increased happiness. Minimalists like to say that they're living more meaningfully, more deliberately, and that the minimalist lifestyle allows them to focus on what's more important in life: friends, hobbies, travel, experiences. Of course, minimalism doesn't mean there's anything inherently wrong with owning material possessions. Today's problem seems to be that we tend to give too much meaning to our things, often forsaking (抛弃) our health, our relationships, our passions, our personal growth, and our desire to contribute beyond ourselves. In addition to its application in people's daily life, minimalism also finds application in many creative disciplines, including art, architecture, design, dance, film making, theater, music, fashion, photography and literature.极简主义是指去掉多余的,仅保留需要的部分。

Thirdly, there are still some students who learn without a clear goal. They take courses, finish homework, enjoy life on campus, but don't want to (10)sample anything new or challenging.

The advantage of being 90 is that you can look forward to death. The world is getting noisier, sexier and more horrible by the minute, but at least I can comfort myself with the fact that the end is in sight. Or so I thought. Imagine my anger when I opened the newspaper and discovered they were going to make us live till 130. When you're 60 or 70 the thought of death crosses your mind like a shadow. It disturbs you, it worries you. But by the time you reach my age you hope for it.My body is dying on me. It's horrible. You start to smell—the smell of death—and you can do nothing about it. I can no longer see properly. You go deaf, and people talk to you as if you're a child. Your legs give up on you. Nowadays I spend so much time working out how to avoid making the trip downstairs more than once a day. When I do get out, I can barely walk more than a few yards—and according to those who know me, I'm lucky in good shape for my 90 years.Ah, but the world would be so much wiser, some people say. I'm afraid that's an illusion. As we get older, we lose our wisdom, our mind, and even our language. We would have a world in which no one could communicate because we'd have forgotten how to.No. The absolute nothingness of death is something to look forward to. If I discovered a medicine to make people live until 130, the first thing I'd do is to bury it.1.What is the advantage of being 90 years old?A. You can become sexier.B. You can look forward to death.C. You can enjoy the world more.D. You can hear less noise.2.Why did the speaker get angry?A. He learned people will live longer.B. He learned people will be noisier.C. He learned people will become sexy.D. He learned people will think about death.3.Why is the speaker lucky, according to some?A. He doesn't have to walk much.B. He doesn't need to listen to others.C. He is in good health for his age.D. He is much wiser than before.4.What is an "illusion", according to the speaker?A. That the world has become a better place.B. That the world has become sexier and noisier.C. That old people are happy to live longer lives.D. That old people are wiser than they were before.5.What would he do with a medicine that makes life longer?A. Live 130 years.B. Become wiser.C. Forget where it is.D. Bury the medicine.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed (供应,分发) among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad (极大数量) of services, including labor, professions, transportation, and public-utility (公用事业) services. The interrelationship of all these prices makes up the system of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If one were to ask a group of randomly (任意地) selected individuals to define price, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the money involved must be known. Both the buyer and seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees (保证) on the product or service, delivery terms, return privilege, and other factors. In other words, both the buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that compose the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.6.What is the best title for the passage?A. The Inherent Weaknesses of the Price System.B. The Complexities of the Price System.C. Credit Terms in Transactions.D.

By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity (强度) that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city's highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes (准则) in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city's buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren't resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations (振动). The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake's vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build.However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.11.One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquakewas comparatively low is that ________.A. new computers had been built into the buildingsB. it occurred in the residential (居住的) areas rather than onthe highwaysC. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for aholidayD. improvements had been made in the construction ofbuildings and highways12.The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to________.A. counterbalance (抵消) an earthquake's action on thebuildingB. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC. help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD. measure the impact of an earthquake's vibrations13.The smart buildings discussed in the passage ________.A. would cause serious financial problemsB. would be worthwhile though costlyC. would increase the complexity of architectural designD. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes14.It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing thedamage caused by earthquakes attention should be focusedon ________.A. the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB. the development of flexible building materialsC. the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD. early forecasts of earthquakes15.The author's main purpose in writing the passage is to________.A. compare the consequences of the earthquakes thatoccurred in the USB. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use ofcomputersC. outline the history of the development of quake-resistantbuilding materialsD. report new developments in constructing quake-resistantbuildingsPart 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题: 4 分; 满分:60 分)小题得分对错我的答案客观1. 4 B B2. 4 A A3. 4 C C4. 4 D D5. 4 D D6. 4 B B7. 4 D D8. 4 A A9. 0 A B10. 4 D D11. 4 D D12. 4 A A13. 4 B B14. 4 C C15. 4 D DSubtotal: 56 老师评语:。
