My family could barely get by on my small income from driving a cab. One late night I responded to a call for a cab ride. To my surprise, when I arrived at the address, I found it was a frail old lay who was awaiting me. After she got into the cab, I engaged her in conversation. I learnt that she was going to the hospice. Her doctor said she didn’t have very long. The old lady told me to drive through the downtown area. She pointed at some old buildings, telling me those were the places where she used to work or live. When the cab finally pulled up in front of the hospice, I didn’t accept her fare. In the rest of the day, I was lost in thought. Though I had to make a living, I lived not for the sole purpose of surviving. When circumstances looked gloomy, the small favour I had done could be a candle light. However faint the light was, it managed to warm up a soul and ennobled me as well. I did take pride in that small favour.Unit TwoLoveEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▆Working with Words and ExpressionsIn the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced, in their daily life, giving and sharing instead of pursuing passion and romance, or making complaints.

Living together in a community, we naturally expect to have friends. As to what friendship is, we have read different definitions given by Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher,and Cicero, a Roman statesman. No one will deny that some people make friends simply for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. However, a lot more people long for “soul pals”— those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and inspire us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call “true friendship”. It is in the company of such friends that we find ourselves surpassing our old selves and becoming better persons / people.Unit FoursportsEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▇Working with Words and Expressions1.In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Translate the following paragraph into English, using the words and expressions in the boxbelow.▇Answers for reference:A gold medal is a tribute to the athletic talent, determination and courage of an Olympic champion. Then how do the athletes make themselves fortunate enough to be so highly honored? The champions who have mounted the winners’ s tand can offer an answer based on their own experiences. First, in the course of training, they visualize themselves as champions. Once their dreams of becoming champions take shape, they will cling to them courageously. What’s more, top performers are driven to bring out their best. They discipline themselves and s queeze in every possible minute to practice every day. Despite their relentless efforts, they may sometimes fail to win or narrowly miss a gold medal, yet they believe in themselves and never lose heart. They are ready to take on the most psychologically and technically challenging tasks or competitions. In reality, all champions have experienced lots of hardships on their way to the vital break of their lifetime. So we won’t and can’t say that a champion is lucky. After all, luck only strikes those prepared to capitalize on it.Unit FiveListen and RespondTask One Focusing on the Main IdeasChoose the best answer to complete each of the following statements according to the information contained in the listening passage.1) One of the reasons for the annual increase in HIV infections is that________.A) people show little concern about HIVB) no effective cure for AIDS has been found yetC) people are unaware of the danger of HIVD) there is no way to prevent HIV from spreading2) The first reason given for AIDS education is ________.A) to prevent new infections from taking placeB) to help people know where HIV infections may happenC) to tell people how to protect themselves from HIV and AIDSD) to tell people about the two processes of prevention from HIV infections3) The second reason for AIDS education is ________.A) to curb the HIV infectionB) to ask hospitals to offer more helpC) to improve the quality of life for HIV-positive peopleD) to give financial aid to AIDS patients4) The third reason for AIDS education is ________.A) to reduce the fear of HIV and AIDSB) to bring down the death rate of AIDSC) to prevent the spread of HIVD) to protect HIV-positive people or AIDS patients5) The purpose of the passage is ________.A) to explain why we should overcome the fear of AIDSB) to criticize schools for neglecting AIDS educationC) to prove that the danger of AIDS has been overstated (夸大)D) to give the reasons for AIDS educationTask Two Zooming In on the DetailsListen to the passage again and fill in each of the blanks according to what you have heard.1) A survey in the UK found recently that a third of teenagers thought there was a “cure” for AIDS .

PARAPHRASEUNIT11.For twenty minutes,the terminal area was aswarm with activity as cars and lorries poured forth,customs people did their duties,and everyone made for the London road(有二十分钟光景，多佛港站头上沸反盈天，这头轿车卡车势如潮涌，那厢海关差役恪尽职守，人人都忙着赶路去伦敦).-The ferry port was busy with activities for twenty minutes. A lot of cars and lorries went in continuous stream out of the port, customs officers were busy doing their duties, and everybody was moving towards the London road.2.I was socially and sartorially ill-suited for such an establishment and anyway it was clearly beyond my meager budget(就我这阶层，就我这身打扮，跟这么一栋楼是格格不入的，而且，不管怎么说吧，我口袋里那几个寒碜的子儿，显然付不起这笔开销).-The Churchill is such a luxurious hotel that it is only suitable for those rich people who are socially respectable and well dressed. For me, a poor man not well dressed, it is definitely not suitable.

新世纪高等院校英语专业综合教程第2版第3册(综合英语3)第一单元知识点及课后答案
●Global Reading✧Structural Analysis of the TextThis text is a piece of narrative writing, in which the author tells about her experience during the first year at university, which at first seems to be very awkward but turns out to be on the right track at last.In the text, three incidents are narrated by the author: 1) the first is about her going into the wrong classroom; 2) the second is about her falling down in the cafeteria; 3) the last is about her witnessing the same embarrassing fall happening to someone admired by her.Despite the differences between these three incidents, they actually revolve around one theme: The growth of the author, who is able to draw lessons from the mistakes she has made and finally succeeds in adjusting herself to the college life.✧Rhetorical Features of the TextDetailed descriptions of events are everywhere to be seen in this text, which is a dominant feature of narrative writing. Since the description of an event will involve a lot of movements or actions, compound sentences and compound-complex sentences have been used frequently in the text.For examples:I first began to wonder what I was doing on a college campus anyway when my parents drove off, leaving me standing pitifully in a parking lot, wanting nothing more than to find my way safely to my dorm room. (Paragraph 1)I settled into my chair and tried to assume the scientific pose of a biology major, bending slightly forward, tensing my arms in preparation for furious note-taking, and cursing under my breath. (Paragraph 5)●Detailed Reading✧Questions1. Why did the author have the impression that “everyone on campus was watching me”? (Paragraph 1)→The author, being over-sensitive, was uneasy with her identity as a freshman. She thought a new student would attract others’ attention, as what she did or said was liable to be too naïve to be right. That feeling is a typical symptom of lacking in self-confidence.2. Why did the author exclaim “What confidence, what reserve, what muscles!” when she saw the football player? (Paragraph 2)→College life was a new experience to the author. That she marveled at the real football player showed her excitement about her new life. And more importantly, her response revealed her admiration of an image which was almost exactly the opposite of her own. This admiration would later become the motivation of her change.3. How many questions are used in Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5? Why does the author raise these→Four elliptical questions are used in these paragraphs. Being a freshman, the author was not well acquainted with campus life. She was at a loss as to what to do when something unexpected happened. These questions are used to show her bewilderment.4. Why did she dine on junk food for the next three days? (Paragraphs 6-8)→Because she thought she had become the laughing-stock on campus. She couldn’t stand being laughed at by all the students when she turned up in the cafeteria.5. What was the key lesson Evelyn Herald learned during her first few weeks in college? (Paragraphs 10-14)→The key lesson she learned during her first few weeks in college was that she realized she didn’t have to pay too much attention to what other people were thinking about her. The fresh campus life was her big chance to do her own things and be her own person. She might well relax herself and stop worrying about making mistakes because people all grow by trial and error.✧Group discussion: What lessons have you learned from Evelyn’s experiences after readingthe article “Fresh Start”?

If it is hot, drink extra water and stop to rest if you feel faint. If it is cold, protect your hands and feet.These days it is not easy to find the time to exercise. Nonetheless, doing exercise regularly can help you live a healthier and happier life. Jogging is a great way to get at least part of the exercise your body needs, and most healthy individuals are capable of jogging without the need to buy special exercise equipment.There are a few jogging tips to keep in mind if you plan to take advantage of these benefits. The first tip is that running should ideally be an aerobic exercise. Starting off, you should find a pace at which you can jog for about half an hour. Try to keep this pace each time you jog until you have worked your way up to a full hour. Then, if you still want to keep building endurance, begin to increase your pace. Always be careful not to push yourself too hard; doing so can be dangerous, especially if you are jogging alone.Once you have gained enough strength and endurance and started to consider increasing your pace, however, you should consider other options first. Anyone who knows great jogging tips can tell you that jogging, though great exercise, is not always good to your knees. Consider jogging on a route that takes you up more hills if you are looking for a more intense workout. Running downhill is actually worse for your knees than running on a flat surface.In addition, it is important to be hydrated when you jog, but you should not have a stomach full of water. Wait at least thirty minutes after drinking any fluids or eating to start jogging. Also be careful jogging in extreme heat or cold. If it is hot, drink extra water and stop to rest if you feel faint. If it is cold, make sure your hands and feet are protected and try to breathe through your nose as much as possible to warm your breath before it reaches your lungs. Jogging can be a great form of exercise, but you should always do it safely.Part III Read and ExploreText ASection A Discovering the Main IdeasExercise 1: Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why wasn’t Owens worried in the face of Hitler’s ―master race‖ theory?2) What made Owens angry with Hitler? What was the consequence of his anger?3) How did Luz Long help Owens?4) How was it that Owens and Long formed a real friendship during the Games although theywere rivals in the competition?5) Why did Owens think Long was the perfect example of what Pierre de Coubertin hadconceived of as the spirit of the Games?▇ Answers for reference:1) He had been well-prepared and had performed very well especially in the running broadjump. In fact, a year before, as a sophomore at Ohio State University, he had set the world’s record of 26 feet 8-1/4 inches. That’s why he was confident and very sure of his success in this event.2) Hitler had intentionally kept the world in the dark about an excellent athlete by the name ofLuz Long, who had a good chance of winning the running broad jump. If Long won, Hitler would prove to the world that Aryans were better than any other races. Hitler’s intention angered Owens. The consequence of his anger was that he made mistakes twice in the three qualifying jumps.3) Long reassured Owens that he didn’t believe in Hitler’s theory. Then he offered Owens auseful tip to avoid fouling again in the third qualifying jump.4) Despite the fact that they were fierce competitors, Long helped Owens qualify for the finals,which meant Long himself might miss the gold medal. Then they poured out their hearts, sharing their views on life and sports. When Owens won, Long congratulated him heartily and sincerely. Their friendship was thus forged.5) Because what Long did for Owens well illustrates the Olympic spirit advocated by Pierre deCoubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games. According to him, the important thing in the Games is not winning but taking part. This spirit is also true of life, the essence of which is not conquering but fighting well.Exercise 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 Para(s). Main IdeaOne1-5 Jesse Owens was determined to get gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games, especially in the running broad jump where he had already set the world record. Due to his anger with Hitler and the tension arising from it, however, he fouled twice in the first two qualifying jumps. He would probably fail to qualify for the finals.Two6-18 With Luz Long’s help, Owens overcame his tension. He qualified for the finals and won the gold medal eventually. Major rivals as they were, they formed a true friendship despite the anger of Hitler.Three 19 Owens cherished his friendship with Long dearly and in the meantime he realized that Long perfectly symbolized the Olympic spirit—not winning but taking part.Section B In-Depth StudyAt the 1936 Olympic Games, Jesse Owens, a black athlete from America, amazed the world by winning four gold medals, including the one for his achievement in the broad jump. Now Owens tells this story about putting differences aside for the spirit of the Games. His well-cherished friendship with the German broad jumper Luz Long bears out the Olympic spirit, which is, in Pierre de Coubertin’s words, “The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.”My Greatest Olympic PrizeJesse Owens1 It was the summer of 1936. The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin. Because Adolf Hitler childishly insisted that his performers were members of a ―master race,‖ nationalistic feelings were at an all-time high.2 I wasn’t too worried about all this. I’d trained, sweated and disciplined myself for six years, with the Games in mind. While I was going over on the boat, all I could think about was taking home one or two of those gold medals. I had my eye especially on the running broad jump. A year before, as a sophomore at Ohio State University, I’d set the world’s record of 26 feet 8-1/4 inches. Everyone kind of expected me to win that Olympic event hands down.3 I was in for a surprise. When the time came for the broad-jump trials, I was startled to see a tall boy hitting the pit at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps! He turned out to be a German named Luz Long. I was told that Hitler had kept him under wraps, evidently hoping to win the jump with him.4 I guessed that if Long won, it would add some new support to the Nazis’ Aryan-superiority theory. After all, I am a Negro. A little hot under the collar about Hitler’s ways, I determined to go out there and really show Der Fuhrer and his master race who was superior and who wasn’t.5 An angry athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes, as any coach will tell you. I was no exception. On the first of my three qualifying jumps, I leaped from several inches beyond the take-off board for a foul. On the second jump, I fouled even worse. ―Did I come 3,000 miles for this?‖ I thought bitterly. ―To foul out of the trials and make a fool of myself?‖6 Walking a few yards from the pit, I kicked disgustedly at the dirt. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look into the friendly blue eyes of the tall German broad jumper. He had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt. He offered mea firm handshake.7 ―Jesse Owens, I’m Luz Long. I don’t think we’ve met.‖ He spoke English well, though witha German twist to it.8 ―Glad to meet you,‖ I said. Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, ―How are you?‖9 ―I’m fine. The question is: How are you?‖10 ―What do you mean?‖ I asked.11 ―Something must be eating you,‖ he said—proud the way foreigners are when they’ve mastered a bit of American slang.―You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed.‖12 ―Believe me, I know it,‖ I told him—and it felt good to say that to someone.13 For the next few minutes we talked together. I didn’t tell Long what was ―eating‖ me, but he seemed to understand my anger, and he took pains to reassure me. Although he’d been schooled in the Nazi youth movement, he didn’t believe in the Aryan-supremacy business any more than I did. We laughed over the fact that he really looked the part, though. An inch taller than I, he hada lean, muscular frame, clear blue eyes, blond hair and a strikingly handsome, chiseled face. Finally, seeing that I had calmed down somewhat, he pointed to the take-off board.14 ―Look,‖ he said. ―Why don’t you draw a line a few inches in back of the board and aim at making your take-off from there? You’ll be sure not to foul, and you certainly ought to jump far enough to qualify. What does it matter if you’re not first in the trials? Tomorrow is what counts.‖15 Suddenly all the tension seemed to ebb out of my body as the truth of what he said hit me. Confidently, I drew a line a full foot in back of the board and proceeded to jump from there. I qualified with almost a foot to spare.16 That night I walked over to Luz Long’s room in the Olympic village to thank him. I knew that if it hadn’t been for him I probably wouldn’t be jumping in the finals the following day. We sat in his quarters and talked for two hours—about track and field, ourselves, the world situation,a dozen other things.17 When I finally got up to leave, we both knew that a real friendship had been formed. Luz would go out to the field the next day trying to beat me if he could. But I knew that he wanted me to do my best—even if that meant my winning.18 As it turned out, Luz broke his own past record. In doing so, he pushed me on to a peak performance. I remember that at the instant I landed from my final jump—the one which set the Olympic record of 26 feet 5-5/16 inches—he was at my side, congratulating me. Despite the fact that Hitler glared at us from the stands not a hundred yards away, Luz shook my hand hard—and it wasn’t a fake―smile with a broken heart‖ sort of grip, either.19 You can melt down all the gold medals and cups I have, and they couldn’t be a plating on the 24-carat friendship I felt for Luz Long at that moment. I realized then, too, that Luz was the perfect example of what Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, must have had in mind when he said, ―The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.‖▇课⽂参考译⽂我最珍贵的奥运奖牌杰西·欧⽂斯1 那是1936年的夏天。

1．One way or the other(anyhow): no one today can claim that there are no interesting impulses for appropriate ethical reflection. (para. 1)Despite the philosophic principles available nowadays, no one can say for sure that nobody has the urge to examine and explain these principles in an ethical perspective in an updated context.2．There is at least the suspicion that those who talk a lot about ethics may be on a rather shaky moral footing themselves and are using ethical alibis to appease a critical public. (para. 4)There is at least some doubt that those who talk a lotabout ethics may not even have a solid moralfoundation to support themselves and they are justusing some excuses to make peace with the publicthat criticize them.3．But if one wishes to do more than just get（pass over）traditional moral philosophical knowledge over to peopleor preach(earnestly advocate)romantic idealism, then ethics, including corporate ethics, must come down from its lofty realm of “ideas” or “values” and establish itself in day-to-day reality. (para. 5)但如果想这么做不止是为了传递传统道德哲学知识或鼓吹浪漫唯心主义，那么伦理道德，其中包括企业伦理道德，必须步下它崇高的“思想”或“价值观”神坛，并在日复一日的现实中确立自己的意义。

Bonded together in a community, we naturally expect to have friends. As to what friendship is, people have different notions / ideas. Some make friends for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. However, a lot more people long for "soul pals"— those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and encourage us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call "true and perfect friendship".1. Bob and I became brother-like friends in our childhood. We played, dined and discussed our ambitions together. Once grown up, he started for the West to make his fortune while I became a policeman in New York. Before his departure, we had dinner together and we agreed that we would meet at the same place exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have tocome.Then came the day we were supposed to meet. I was on my beat then. Walking up to the appointed place which had been turned into a hardware store, I saw a man standing there with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. Before I could speak, he told me that he was waiting for a friend by the name of Jimmy Wells. When he struck a match to light his cigar, I saw a pale face with keen eyes and a scar. I recognized him immediately. It was Bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the Chicago Police.For a moment I felt like telling him to escape right away. After all, we had been friends for so many years and he had traveled all the way to see me! But then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do. I said good-bye to him and continued my patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear: “I’ll wait for half an hour. Jimmy will keep his promise if he’s alive…” I then sent fora plain clothes man and had Bob arrested.2.An Important Friend in My LifeLi Qiang, one of my classmates, is fun to be with. He is always wearing a broad smile as if life is forever "sunshine and butterflies". One day, I revealed to him my worries and anxieties:I, an ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall, even taller than any of the boys in my class. I thought no boy would like to date me. Besides, I was very poor at my academic courses.He suggested that I should learn to be myself and then he introduced me to a fashion show team of the university. Encouraged, I decided to change myself. After a 3-month training program on weekends, I could perform beautifully as a model, and surprisingly, I could concentrate on the required academic courses as well. The applauses I won at each fashion show and the scholarship I earned proved that being myself was terrific. Since then, my life has changed a lot. Thus, Li Qiang became an important friend of mine.Last semester, we began to help young people who suffer pressures from physical defects, academic failures or financial problems. We set up a Confidence Club. Those who come to us for help find our work definitely beneficial. Our friendship has led me into a sparkling, rewarding life.Unit Two Love(1)1. curled2. minimum3. clip4. yielded5.

Love takes time, for it is not forged until you have grown usedto the other’s company and learned to appreciate the other. (2)After dinner, we all sat around the hearth. Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly afterthey were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much overjoyed Aunt Susan was to see Uncle Robert come back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced giving and sharing in their daily life instead of pursuing passion and romance. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.1. Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era of constraints,restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kepta distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as it was, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.By comparison, the younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in handling the matter of love and relationships. They jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealingwith relationships.2.What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in twouniversities — Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life? About one third of the students chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearanceto be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family.“Career” was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned aboutself-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard upon marriage and family life as central to a happy life.Unit Three Happiness(1)1. inform2. evaluate3. attractive4. depression5. leisure6.

You shouldn’t always make comparison with others; otherwise,you may be trapped in / fall into depression, for there are always many others who are better than you.4. Today people are much better off and enjoy more leisure. Strangely enough, they find life boring / dull.5. Life, in effect, is long but short of excitement. You are sure to suffer from inevitable disappointment if you expect everydaylife to be as exciting as a drama.6. A life that is too easy / smooth may also be destructive becauseit offers no opportunity for one to learn how to deal with / handle failures / frustrations / setbacks. That / This in part explains / accounts for the high rates of suicide among young people.(2)Happiness must have much to do with money. After all, a hard life will wear out one’s sense of joy. However, happiness doesn’tderive from money alone. Today’s society as a whole has seen dramatic improvement in the standard of living, and the majority of people are decently fed and clothed. However, are people happier today? In fact, when the mass media and commercial advertisements are still reinforcing the notion that to be happy is to possess more, people find themselves longing more earnestly than ever for a happy and healthy spiritual life: being loved, respected, feeling safe and proud of realizing their self-value. As a wise man once pointed out, happiness lies in the positive attitude one holds towards life other than how much money one earns. Those millionaires who view life as boringand empty serve as good negative examples.1. Man Does Not Live by Bread AloneNo one would doubt the truth that man’s existence relies essentially on material things. We need them to get fed, clothed and sheltered. Once we are living near the breadline, we’ll feel frustrated and miserable.However, our contentment does not merely lie in material things.This is especially the case in modern times. The fast-developing economy has noticeably improved our lives and fulfilled most of our material needs. Then there comes the need of spiritual satisfaction, which is derived from good health, close friends, a loving spouse, well-raised children, a home built on love, a clear conscience, a worthy goal and an enjoyable job. While material things may lose their charm over time, spiritual satisfaction will bring us lasting happiness.Therefore, to live a happy life, we should focus more on those things that meet our spiritual demands. After all, when our need for bread is met, happiness will not come unless we feel spiritually satisfied.2. I Really Made ItI will never forget the awful feeling in my first Oral Englishclass at college. I tried hard to listen to every word the teacher spoke, but what she was saying made no sense to me. Bitterly, I admitted that I was so poor at listening and speaking in English.I wept several times, cursing my middle school for failing to provide adequate listening and speaking practice. But finally I calmed down because the familiar words rang in my ears: There must be a way out. I had a rather solid foundation of English vocabulary and grammar. What was left for me to do was to increase my listening input and speaking output. I made it a rule that every morning I would do reading aloud by the campus lake for 40 minutes, and every evening I would stay in the language lab, listening to English for at least an hour.Then at the end of the second year came my happiest moment: I got the Scholarship for Academic Excellence. I wore a broad smile when the president granted me the award. I then came to realize that happiness can only be gained through hard work.Unit Four Health(1)1. indifferent2. prejudice3. appealing4. rendered5. threats6. respect7. isolate8. sucked9. infected10. ignorance11. namely12. probable13. reluctantly14. applause15. wept16. issued17. shelter18. contracted19. cheated20. tolerated(2)1. guard against2. concern yourself with3. make room for4. bring … to an end5. in the hope of6. on the ground(s) that7. at risk8. set aside9.

They find, all of a sudden, that they can no more / longer carry on the job they havedone for dozens of years. Some old people cannot adapt themselves to such a change and thus become depressed, believing that they are no longer useful. Indeed, depression has become one of the leading threats to old people’s health. Nonetheless, many old people in China are able to maintain their sense of usefulness by rendering their grown-up children services, such as taking care of their grandchildren and providing allowances to them. The question remains as to whether senior citizens should try other means to fill up their leisure, rendering their later years still more meaningful. Isuggest the old concern themselves less with their children and make room for young people to take responsibility for their own lives. After all, the old deserve respect from the young and the young should tolerate their aged parents more, on the grounds that the old have contributed so much for so many years both to their family and to society.1. AIDS Across the EarthAIDS has killed and is threatening to kill millions all across the earth. Several million infections are reported by WHO each year.The virus does not care whether you are black or white, male or female, young or old. It will attack you as long as you are a human. Today, AIDS has become the leading killer of young adults and is turning the children whose parents suffer the disease into orphans. It is no exaggeration to say that we live under the shadow of AIDS.There are several possible causes for such a situation: unsafe sexual intercourse; sharing or reusing contaminated needles; transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products; an infected person’s pregnancy, giving birth and breastfeeding, etc. Unfortunately, our ignorance, prejudice and silence have carried the situation to a desperate extreme. Patients are isolated ortreated as outcasts by their families and their communities. AIDS victims feel ashamed to be identified as such and try hard to hide their disease. For this reason, they cannot get immediate medical treatment. Our harmful attitudes towards the disease and its victims have actually placed more people at risk.In our fight against this deadly disease, we should educate people on how to avoid being infected with the disease and how to lead a healthy and secure life and, more importantly, how to treat AIDS patients properly. Only in this way can we really bring AIDS under control.2. Why Do the Young Adults Kill Themselves?Young adults are in the prime of their lives and are supposed to pursue their dreams and enjoy themselves. Yet it was reported in the Guardian that suicide is the main cause of death among young adults in China. Why have so many young people ended their lives?Three factors are thought to account for the high suicide rate: increasing stress, loneliness and a lack of medical support for depression. The most pressing one, I think, is stress. Take my college life for example. From the first day I entered the university, I have been living under pressure. I used to worry that I could not quite fit into the campus life; I also feared that Imight not catch up with my classmates in my studies or could not live up to my parents’ expectations. Now I am deeply concerned about whether I can find a desirable job after graduation. Endless pressures give rise to stress. Loneliness is another problem. Many young people find they just feel helpless when they are suffering intolerable sadness or frustration.Suicide is a great tragedy, especially for the young.

新世纪大学英语综合教程3课后答案Unit2分析解析
新世纪⼤学英语综合教程3课后答案Unit2分析解析Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook ThreeUnit Two: LovePart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇Sit in groups of threes or fours and discuss the following questions.1) Do you think love and marriage are important matters in our life? Why or why not?2) Dating and courtship is a common scene at college now. What do you think of it?3) What do you think are the most important factors that contribute to a stable love relationship? Give your reasons.▇ Answers for reference:1)Yes. It is human nature to feel attraction and affection between different sexes. A life without love is oftenregarded as imperfect. Those who are in love would long to stay together, and families resulting from love usually lay the foundation for a stable society.2)I t’s OK to start dating at college, because college students are already grown-ups in the legal sense. Noone has the right to interfere in such private matters. However, students’ top priority at college is to study and acquire knowledge and skills for their future careers. Dating and courtship will interfere with their studies. Therefore, some students tend to hold themselves back even if there are opportunities to start a romantic relationship.3)Many factors may contribute to a stable love relationship. Wealth, social status, appearances, familybackground, etc. may be considered as the external factors, which may help promote a love relationship.Wisdom, knowledge, character, personalities, etc. are the internal factors. Love based on external factors alone may not last long. Love based on the internal factors will survive whatever challenges or crises it may encounter. When two persons are in love, they should respect each other and be honest and faithful to each other. In essence, trust and understanding are the key factors that contribute to a successful love relationship.Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about love. Which quote(s) do you like best? Why?⊙The course of true love never did run smooth.—— William Shakespeare Interpretation:Shakespeare believes that a true relationship is not easy to establish. People have different personalities, concepts of value, preferences of life style, etc. When two persons of the opposite sex develop a love relationship, they have to try their best to understand each other and reconcile with each other.William ShakespeareAbout William Shakespeare:William Shakespeare (1564-616): an English writer of plays and poems, who is generally regarded as the greatest of all English writers. His many famous plays include the tragedies Romeo and Juliet (《罗密欧与朱丽叶》), Hamlet (《哈姆雷特》), Julius Caesar (《裘⼒斯·凯撒》), Macbeth (《麦克⽩》), Othello (《奥瑟罗》), and King Lear (《李尔王》); the comedies A Midsummer Night’s Dream (《仲夏夜之梦》), Twelfth Night (《第⼗⼆夜》), and As You Like It（皆⼤欢喜》).⊙To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.—— Bertrand Russell Interpretation:Here Russell emphasizes the importance of an active attitude towards love. We should not be afraid to fall in love just because it is not easy to find true love or just because of any possible setbacks. A life without love is as dull as a dying man because he lacks the energy and passion to enjoy life.Bertrand RussellAbout Bertrand Russell:Bertrand Russell (1872-970): a British philosopher and mathematician who developed new ideas connecting mathematics and logic. He is also known for being a pacifist (和平主义者). He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950.⊙Where does the family start? It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl — no superior alternative has yet been found.—— Sir Winston Churchill Interpretation:The quotation emphasizes that true love is the only basis upon which a happy family is built. Only when the man and the woman love each other dearly and devotedly can they endure trials and tribulations in their common effort to build up a happy family.Sir Winston ChurchillAbout Sir Winston Churchill:Sir Winston Churchill (1874-965): a British statesman, soldier, and author who was Prime Minister during most of World War II and again from 1951 to 1955. He is remembered and admired by most British people as a great leader who made possible Britain’s victory in the war. He is also famous for the many speeches he made during the war. In 1953 Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his writing and oratory (演讲术).⊙It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.—— Mother Teresa Interpretation:The quotation tells us the significant role that love plays in everything we do in life. Whatever we do, we should put adequate love into it so that others can feel our love and be affected by our love. What we can offer to others may be insignificant, but as long as there is love in it, the benefit will be significant. Here, love isunderstood in a broad sense.Mother TeresaAbout Mother Teresa:Mother Teresa (1910-997): an Albanian (阿尔巴尼亚) Roman Catholic nun (修⼥) who lived in India, where she worked to help the poor and the sick in the city of Calcutta (加尔各答). She won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1979, and people think of her as a typical example of someone who is kind, unselfish, and morally good.

It’s just —it’s Bullshit. (Beth tries to hold back her tears. Neil looks stunned and goes to her.)NEIL: Where is this coming from?BETH: It’s coming f rom the place that I have been hiding from you for about five years.

It is human nature to yearn for and indulge in love, but true love takes a lot of understanding, much sharing and caring, and plenty of affection. What is true love? How deep is your love? The author shares her views with the younger generation on these questions.How Deep Is Your Love?Mansi Bhatia1Love to some is like a cloudTo some as strong as steelFor some a way of livingFor some a way to feelAnd some say love is holding onAnd some say let it goAnd some say love is everythingSome say they don’t know2 At some stage or the other in our lives we experience the gnawing pangs of an emotion which defies definition. It’s a feeling that can only be felt and not described. An overwhelming joy that comes together with its share of sadness. Love.3 Given the busy nature of our lives, it’s to be appreciated that we even find the time to ind ulge in matters of the heart.But at the same time I wonder if we even understand its true depth. I remember having countless crushes while in school. My math teacher, our neighbour’s son, my best friend’s brother and lots of others whom I fancied for the colour of their eyes, the shape of their moustaches or just the way they walked. Harmless puppy loves that are as brief as soap bubbles. I can laugh about all those silly and adventurous thoughts and acts now but at that time nothing could be more serious an affair for me. Then came the stage of real relationships.4 Being in an all girls’ school I hardly had the opportunity to interact with members of the opposite gender. Socials between our school and the boys’ college, therefore, would be awaited anxio usly. Those three hours of unhesitant attention by a group of well-groomed young gentlemen provided us with enough content to talk and feel exhilarated about for the next four weeks.5 And even then there was no real need of having a boyfriend.6 I somehow grew up believing that love would happen when it had to. And sure enough it did. It came at an age when I hada career, a long-term plan and a more or less settled life (and now I am not yet 25!). I was mature enough to enter a relationship which demands a lot of give and not so much of take.7 Love was a magnificent building I built on the foundation of friendship. It took time to blossom. It took a lot of understanding, loads of sharing and caring, and plenty of affection to become what it is today. And it meant a meeting of minds. You might say that I belong to the traditional school of romance. But in my opinion, love needs to be nurtured. And it has to be distinguished from the intense but short-lived love or the pleasures of the flesh.8 Our p arents’ generation was fed lavishly with ideals. It was an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. The long skirts, the quiet and unpretentious looks, the curled long hair, the calmness, the shy glance—these are all so frequently remindful of a bygone era. An age when the distance between the sexes somehow managed to help preserve the holiness of love and relationships.9 The younger generation, with its openness and fading lines of proximity, has jumped on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities. What we have been exposed to via the media have fast paced our sensibilities so much that taking things slow requires effort on our parts.10 I am amazed when I hear stories of school kids bragging about the number of physical relationships they have had. I am horrified to learn that girls barely eighteen have already been in and out of seven to eight “hook ups”.11 I am sorry to learn about the kind of emotional baggage these kids are carrying in what are purely unemotional relationships. Some might blame the current state of affairs on peer pressure. But has anyone ever stopped to figure out where this peer pressure originates? Do any of us try and understand who is responsible for this shift? Does anyone bother to study the state of mind of the teenagers?12 The mindset of this generation is all too evident in the way it handles its personal life.There are more relationships being distorted under the pressures of lust than ever before. There is more focus on physical beauty than on inner charm. There is more of closeness and less of intimacy. There is more of passion and less of emotion. There is more of acquiring and less of sharing. There is more of opportunism and less of selflessness.In short, there is more of ME and less of US.13 We have hardened ourselves so much in this competitive age that we have forgotten the essence of relationships. There’s much more to being someone’s lover than gifting them red roses and fifty-cent cards. What about gifting our object of affection, our time, our company, our support, our friendship? What about setting priorities in our lives and focusing on each with sincerity? What about trying to be self-sufficient emotionally before letting ourselves loose? What about giving ourselves, and others, time and space to forge relationships? What about working towards meaningful and lasting friendships? What about honouring our commitments? What about channeling our energies and emotions towards building lifelong bonds ratherthan wasting them on seasonal relationships?14 We have but one life and we must experience everything that can make us stronger. True love happens once in a lifetime. And we should not have become so tired by our frivolous acts that when it comes we aren’t able to receive it with open arms.▇课⽂参考译⽂你的爱有多深曼茜·巴蒂亚1 有⼈认为爱如浮云有⼈认为爱坚强如铁有⼈认为爱是⼀种⽣活⽅式有⼈认为爱是⼀种感觉有⼈说爱要执着有⼈说爱不要约束有⼈说爱是⽣命的全部有⼈说不知道爱为何物2 在我们⽣命中的某个阶段，我们会经历某种难以名状的情感所带来的阵阵折磨。

dirty buff-coloured walls……a dozen bottles and jars.There are two shelves on one of the dirty yellowish walls.On the shelves,there are perhaps a dozen bottles and jars.3.…my stock in trade is not very large…but such as it is,it is varied.I have a small business,and I don’t have a large stock.I do not sell things like laxatives and teething mixtures.In spite of this,I have all kinds of different stock.4.Please a customer with one article……Even if it is more costly.If you make the customers happy with one of your things,they will come back to buy more if they need them.And they will not care if the price is very high.5.“If I did not sell love potions”said the old man……mentioned the other matter to you. The old man said:“I mentioned the other matter to you just now because I sell love potions.”and at the same time,he reached out his hand to get another bottle.6.“For indifference,”said the old man,“they substitute devotion.For scorn,adoration.”The old man said:The love potion will make the girl devoted to you instead of being indifferent to you;and it will turn her contempt towards you into a strong love.7.Give one tiny measure of this to the young lady…want nothing but solitude and you. If you give just a little of this medicine to the girl—she won’t notice it,for it is tasteless in orange juice,soup,or cocktails—and no matter how much she likes amusement,she will be changed completely.She will only want to be with you.8.And,by the way,since there are always sirens……you need not worry.And accidentally,since there are always many dangerously beautiful women in the world,if you happen to be attracted by them and make mistakes,you don’t have to worry.1.My mother was a fouder and prime mover in…Hollywood community，of the 1920s. My mother was one of those who established various intellectual projects and had great influence in the development of those projects,which aimed to develop culture in the seemingly prosperous Hollywood community.2.He circled the long dining-room table…on his glamorous employees.He held a tall glass of Scotch whisky and walked around the dining-room table.Meanwhile,he was crusing his employees—those good-looking actors and actresses.3.I can see him now,a big Havana cigar…running a teeming Hollywood studio.I still remember that he held a big Havana cigar in one hand and a tall glass of Scotch whiskey in another.He was drinking quickly and loudly,complaining that he had to take the responsibility of managing a Hollywood studio which produced many movies.4.Only when it was all finished and I was in a triumphant…take me a down peg.He didn’t reduce my pride and point out that my first chapter was not well written until I finished writing the novel and felt proud of my success.5.A writer,in fact all of us in life needs that mother force...“watch,listen,review,improve”A writer,in fact all of us in life,needs to have a loving mother who always encouragesus,because we can’t make achievements without her encouragements.But her influence alone is not enough.Sometimes we might be misled,even destroyed in the end if we don’t have a strict father who often reminds us to watch,listen,review and inprove.6.Those onflicting but complementary voices of my…opposing winds buffeting me.In my years of growing,I was often encouraged by my mother and criticized by my father at the same time.Mother’s encouragement cheered me up while father’s caution prevented me from getting too proud.The two forces of love kept me in balance.7.Between the two poles of affirmation…I try to follow my true course.My mother always encouraged me while my father often cautioned me.They were both doing this because they loved me.Under their influence,I tried to keep the right direction on the road of my life.8.On my left,she was saying soothing…critical things of my father.On my left,my mother was trying to console me by saying comforting words to me and unfavorable words about my father.1.At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville…volunteer for an unusual project.At the University of Virginia,which was located in Charlottesville,psychology professor Balla Depaulo managed to find 77 students and 70 townspeople to work for a special plan willingly 2.The lies were most often not what most of us would call earth-shattering.Most of the lies were not very big lies that would cause disastrous consequences.3.According to DePaulo,women in their interactions…for self-promoting reasons.DePaulo held that when women communicated with other women,they often lied to avoid hurting the other’s feelings.The reason why men lied to other men was because they wanted to appear greater than they really were.4.Most strikingly,these tellers-of-a-thousand-lies…little preoccupation or regret.Most surprisingly,although these people told more than a thousand lies,they didn’t feel guilty about having told so many lies.5.Might that,too,be a lie?Perhaps.Is it possible that what they say is also a lie?Maybe.6.For example,20000 middle-and high-schoolers…devoted to character education.The Josephson Institude of Ethics is a nonprofit organization in Marina del Rey,California and it mainly studies character education.It once examined 20000 middle school students and high school students.7.“After the first lies,others can come easily,”she wrote in her book…may wrap.“After one lie for the first time,it will be easier for him to tell more lies.”She wrote in her book Lying:Moral Choice in Public and Private Life.“Because his psychological obstructions disappear;he becomes unable to distinguish right from wrong;and he thinks that he might not be caught.”8.Suppose that one day Tom’s child blurts out the truth,and she discovers the deceit.What would happen if one day Tom’s child told the truth suddenly and without thinking,and she finds out that it was a lie?9.By itself,that kind of lie is of no great consequence.Still,the endless proliferation of these little prevarications does matter.That kind of lie is not very important in itself.However,if too many little unimportant lies are told,the problem becomes serious.10.Once they’ve become commom enough,even the amall…cynicism and loss of trust. Once small lies are so often told that they become commom,even the small harmless lies will cause a certain kind of doubt and distrust among people.U131.Older than forty and starting from scratch…women in similar positions.I was over forty and I was starting from the very beginning.I thought I was the only one in this situation,but once I took my courage to look at others,I found many other women like me 2.We share a fear that sits in the back of the mind like a spider ready to pounce.We all have a fear that is not always felt but might be felt any times.3.We reach over the phone lines for that word of…willpower has become depleted. When we feel that we cannot manage it and need others’ encouragement,we will call our friends because we know that they will comfort us and encourage us.4.In spite of their own insecurities,they never failed…to re-read a difficult chapter. When I needed to rewrite a paper one more time or had to stay up late to reread a different chapter,I will call them.Although they have their own problems,they always cheer me up.5.Working together on a project that we felt strongly about…we did not know existed. When we worked tegether on a project we felt strongly about,we would be existed as if a part of us had been lit up.although we didn’t know that we had that part.7.For some,it was a return to the carefree…can be both fun and exhilarating.For some,it was an opportunity for them to go back to college and care for nothing but studying.For others,it was the first time that they found learning so interesting and exciting.8.Besides the intellectual surprises,we found joy…outside of love and pregnancies.In addition to the learning of knowledge,we were also happy because we were together.And we explored this kind of friendship intensely.We thought we could only have this kind of feeling for our husbands and children.9.The only woman in the group who was under thirty…and frankly,quite inappropriate. There was only one woman among us who was under thirty.Most of us flet that she was impolite,angry,and to tell the truth,improper to us.10.We end up treating her almost like a doughter…that is,picking up the slack.In the end,we treated her as if she were our daughter.We did for her what most of us would have done for our own daughters:that is,helped her to complete some unifinished work. 11.…that the world is in no hurry to be changed…after a good night’s sleep.…that we don’t need to change the world so quickly and that we will try to change the world later.12.The end product could turn out to be infinitely…than what we had first envisioned. In the end,the finished product could be much more complex,and in a sense moreperfect,more exuberant,than what we had expected in the first place.13.We are sought by schools,thanks to the sheer…among us brings to the classroom. Schools want us back,because we contribute to the number of students,let alone we have so rich experience and commom sense that even the most stupid one of us could teach our classmates a lot.14.We feel flattered and surprised,and our ego…we are indeed quite capable.We feel complimented and surprised,and we are more self-confident because we realize that we are really quite competent.15.…the test booklets carrying in their pages…closed for the last time.…the test booklets closed for the last time.In the booklets,the best part of our knowledge is represented.。

the ability to make more distinctions can coarsen; the liar's perception of his chances of being caught may warp."One is less inhibited from lying; his ability to make moral right and wrong judgments is dulled ,and he may become less cautious against being caught .3.The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of what ethicists refer to as the principle of trust for the principle of caring.The most understandable and acceptable lies are those which are told for the sake of love and ca re at the expense of trust,according to the ethicists.Unit 6 p1011.Good poets and poems are lost forever simply because there is no market for them, no people who write their own verse and seek out further inspiration from other bards.Good people have stopped writing poems ,because there are fewer and fewer readers and fellow poets .They cannot depend on poetry writing for a living ,and there is no more poetic society from which they can draw inspirations and stimulations.2.Observe others’ emotion and experience your own --that’s what poetry is all about .The point of poetry is to express and record emotions .So when you read poems,you will observe the emotions of the poet and when you write your own poem ,you need to observe and organize your ownUnit 7 p1211.It is only when one is in a position to oblige that one can afford to be so confidential.Just because I am able to do you a favor-sell you the love position,I feel safe telling you so much about my other medicines.2.“For indifference,”said the old man,“they substitute devotion.For scorn,adoration.”“They,the love positions,”said the old man,“will help change the girl’s attitude towards you.She will no longer hold you in contempt.Instead,she will begin to give you her deep felt love and car e.”Unit 8 p1411.Even an end which it would be noble to pursue if it were attainable may be pursued unwiselyif it is inherently impossible of achievement.It would be unwise to pursue a goal that is bound to fail though it might be noble to do so.2.I think the essence of wisdom is emancipation,as far as possible,from the tyranny of the here a nd now.I think the essence of wisdom is to free oneself from the confinement of the physical world and t he emotional world and look beyond.Unit 9 p1591.Food to my countrymen is one of the ecstasies of life,to be thought about in advance;to be s mothered with loving care throughout its preparation;and to have time lavished on it in the final pleasure of eating.Food to us Chinese is one of the greatest joys in life:It is thought about before being prepared;it is treated with lots of love and care while being prepared;and when it is ready,it is enjoyed with excessive amount of time.2.It is this increased sensuality and the desire for great freedom age-bound habits in the West,c ombined with the inherent sensual concept of Chinese food,always quick to satisfy the taste bud s,that is at the root of the sudden and phenomenal spread of Chinese food throughout the lengt h and breadth of the Western World.The main reason for the sudden and tremendous popularity of Chinese food throughout the whol e Western world lies in two facts:One is the increased desire for sensual pleasures and freedom f rom age-old customs in the West;the other is the notion of physical pleasure provided by Chines e food which is always ready to satisfy the taste of the eater.Unit 10 p1791.They sit down to commit an act of literature, and the self who emerges on paper is a far stiffer person than the one who sat down.They sit down to do some literary writing, and when they are writing, they become stiffer than they actually are.2.It’s not necessary to want to spend a year alone at Walden Pond to become deeply involved with a writer who did.The reader does not have to be alone in the lakeside of Wallden Pond for a year to deeply understand the inspiration of the author who stayed there for a year.Unit 11 p2001.Children enter school as question marks and leave as periods.Children enter school with lots of questions and curiosity,but when they leave school after years of formal education,they lose all the curiosity and exploring spirit.2.Being“advanced”has its own pitfalls---among them complacency and pushing of forcing.“Advanced”learners are likely to make some mistakes,for example,they may become excessiv ely satisfied with their progress or on the contrary,put too much pressure on themselves to achie ve further progress.Unit 12 p2191.As a man I didn't count any more. I was no longer third officer of the wrecked Montala. I was just a gun that kept them away from the water they craved.As a human being, I was no longer important.

His is thirsty and craves water.Unit 13 p2391.the onslaught of new technology, which promised to set us free, has instead ratcheted up the rhythms of everyday life.New technology has arrived in an explosive manner and produced a significant impact on our wa y of life.It should have saved us from routine,as it enables us to do our work more efficiently,but in fact it has subjected us even more to plans,as it has made scheduling easier.2.we’ve booked ourselves so full of prescheduled activities there’s no time left for those magic, spontaneous moments that make us feel most alive.Our life has been filled up with plans,so full that we have lost our spare time and the chance for any natural and spontaneous activities.Our life,therefore,seems boring and meaningless.3.Carve out some nonsheduled hours (or days) once in a while and treat them as a firm commitment.

What's more, top performers aredriven to bring out their best. They disciplinethemselves and squeeze in every possible minuteto practice every day.

Thefollowing hints may be of some help.1) What is a prize?2) What does a prize bring about?3) What is the fundamental meaning of winingprizes?▇ Sample essay 2:In today's society, competitions,contestsand games are held virtually every day andeverywhere. These activities put the participantsinto two categories: winners and losers. Assymbols of public recognition, prizes areawarded to those who mount the winners' stand.A prize brings about fame, prestige andgood fortune. Winners are constantly in thespotlight and attract admiring attention. Theirfriends and colleagues come to congratulate12them and their families take pridein them.More often than not, prizes simultaneouslybring wealth to the winners as in the case of anOlympic gold medal or a Nobel Prize. Therefore,winners harvest both a good reputation andmaterial rewards.However, this is not the essential meaningof wining a prize. Winners are worthy of respect,admiration and good fortune because theyembody some outstanding qualities that areworthy of a prize: perseverance, diligence andoptimism. An athlete undergoes years oftraining and takes hundreds of highlydemanding challenges before he steps onto thatpodium; a writer becomes popular overnightafter he has spent years writing relentlessly inpoverty and anonymity. What'smore, optimismin the face of adversity also contributes a lot totheir success. They believe in themselves andhave great passion for what they are engaged in.They endeavor to do their best, enjoying theprocess of fighting well. Therefore, thefundamental meaning of winning a prize doesnot merely lie in the rewarding fame or wealth,but in the process of presenting the best part ofoneself.249 words)13。

Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook ThreeUnit Six: HappinessPart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇Sit in groups of threes or fours and discuss the following questions.1. Are you happy with your college life? Why or why not?2. What was the happiest moment in your life as far as you can remember?3. Can money alone bring happiness? Why or why not?▇ Answers for reference:1. I feel happy with my college life. Away from my parents, I’m learning to live independently and I enjoy a lot of freedom that I have never experienced before. My life at college is easy and carefree. The teachers are professional and my classmates are friendly and helpful. I have access to lots of modern facilities and I can take part in many interesting activities. So I regard college life as the most enjoyable period in my life.I’m not feeling so happy, because I’m not used to the heavy work load and I feel lonely, homesick or bored with school life that has lasted for over ten years.2. (Open.)3. Yes. Because I think money is just like a magic wand (魔杖) that can change everything in the world today. It can bring you all you want, including happiness.No. We cannot deny the fact that money is important. It can help keep us free from want and ensure a happy life. But happiness is based on both material and spiritual welfare. The sense of achievement and self-fulfillment sometimes brings us even greater satisfaction. Money does contribute to material welfare. Yet, material welfare alone cannot bring us happiness.Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about happiness. Which quote(s) do you like best? Why?⊙Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.—— Aristotle Interpretation:This quotation reveals the important role of happiness in human life. It is human nature to seek and enjoy happiness. Otherwise, human existence would be aimless and meaningless.AristotleAbout Aristotle:Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC): a student of Plato and a famous ancient Greek philosopher. During his life, he wrote numerous books on logic (逻辑学), natural science, ethics (伦理学), politics, and rhetoric (修辞学), etc. His works include Physics, On the Soul (《论灵魂》),Posterior Analytics(《后分析篇》), History ofAnimals (《动物志》),Politics,Rhetoric, Poetics (《诗学》), etc. Aristotle is considered to be one of the greatest thinkers of Europe and his works are still widely quoted today.⊙We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.—— George Bernard Shaw Interpretation:Shaw reminds us that we have two identities both as producer and as consumer. We should produce wealth first and then enjoy it. It is also true of happiness.George Bernard ShawAbout George Bernard Shaw:George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950): an Irish writer famous especially for his plays, which criticize society and the moral values of the time. His best known works include the historical plays Caesar and Cleopatra (《恺撒和克娄巴特拉》) and St Joan (《圣女贞德》), and the comedy Pygmalion (《皮格马利翁》), which was later turned into the popular musical show My Fair Lady (《窈窕淑女》).⊙Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.—— Franklin D. Roosevelt Interpretation:According to Roosevelt, money alone does not mean happiness. True happiness comes when one has succeeded in doing something or when one has done something that has not been done before. The sense of achievement and job satisfaction will bring you immense happiness.Franklin D. RooseveltAbout Franklin D. Roosevelt:Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945): the thirty-second president of the US, from 1933 to 1945. He helped to end the Great Depression (经济大萧条) by starting the New Deal (新政), a program of social and economic changes. He also tried to give support to the Allies (同盟国) without getting the US involved in World War II, but when Japan attacked the US in 1941, he was forced to get the country to join the war. During his lifetime Roosevelt was elected President of the US four times.⊙The surest way to happiness is to lose yourself in a cause greater than yourself. The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.—— James M. Barrie Interpretation:Barrie believes that we should indulge ourselves in a right cause—a cause that is greater than ourselves. Once we have chosen the right cause, we should learn to love it and pursue it resolutely. If we are dedicated to what we feel obliged to do, we will surely do it well and the resulting sense of fulfillment will bring about truehappiness.James M. BarrieAbout James M. Barrie:James M. Barrie (1860-1937): a Scottish playwright and novelist. He is best remembered for his play Peter Pan (《彼得·潘》), a supernatural fantasy about a boy who refuses to grow up.Section C Watching and Discussion▇Watch the following video clip “Is Culture a Factor in How We View Happiness?” and do the tasks that follow:1. Lynn Ianni (Psychotherapist) gives expert advice on happiness in the video. Pay attention to what she says and fill in the missing words.Everybody’s philosoph y is going to determine what they feel is their optimum level of happiness and what opportunity they have to actually attain it. So there are cultural factors that probably weigh in and as you independently try to figure out whether or not you are happy and what chance you have to increase your level of happiness, those cultural factors are gonna play a part. The messages that you received from your family, from your environment, from your philosophy or religious belief system or cultural belief system are all going to be relevant. And those things are things that you need to explore, understand, analyze, take apart, and modify.2. Discuss the topic with your group members: Do you agree with the psychologist that cultural factors playa part in one’s happiness?▇Answers for reference:(Open.)Script：Is Culture a Factor in How We View Happiness?I think that different cultures have different expectations about what they believe is the optimum level of happiness. And some cultures really teach, you know, survival because of where that nation is or where that culture is in those moments and in that time. So if they allow a person to really believe that happiness is within their grasp that culture has an opportunity to sort of instill that belief across the board. Some cultures really prize self sacrifice, some cultures prize altruism, some belief systems or religious theories. Everybody’s philosophy is going to determine what they feel is their optimum level of happiness and what opportunity they have to actually attain it. So there are cultural factors that probably weigh in and as you independently try to figure out whether or not you are happy and what chance you have to increase your level of happiness, those cultural factors are gonna play a part. The messages that you received from your family, from your environment, from your philosophy or religious belief system or cultural belief system are all going to be relevant. And those things are things that you need to explore, understand, analyze, take apart, and modify. Because if you want to change how you feel within and those things are factors that are creating the feelings that you actually have especially if they are your cognitive frame work. You have to change the frame work in order for the picture to be different.Part II Listen and RespondSection A Word BankSection B Task One: Focusing on the Main IdeasChoose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences according to the information contained in the listening passage.1)According to the speaker, happiness _____________.A)is not easily obtained by poor peopleB)is what movie stars are most eager to obtainC)does not naturally follow wealth or successD)necessarily results from wealth or success2)According to the speaker, happiness lies in the following EXCEPT ___________.A)wealth obtained through honest effortB)wealth obtained by winning lotteriesC)your contribution to others’ happinessD)your successful work3) Instead of being an end, happiness is a(n) ____________.A) beginningB) processC) unattainable goalD) business of the community4) The passage is mainly about ____________.A) the secret to happinessB) the definition of happinessC) the misunderstanding of happinessD) the relationship between happiness and wealth▇ Answers for Reference:1) C 2) B 3) B 4) ASection C Task Two: Zooming In on the Details▇Listen to the recording again and fill in each of the blanks according to what you have heard.1) The world is full of very rich people who are as ___________ as if they were ______________.2) If you obtain wealth through ________ or______________, you will not be happy with it. You will think you are a mean person.3) Long-term happiness is based on ____________, and ______________, contribution, and self-esteem.4) If your happiness depends on ______________, you will always feel unfulfilled because there will always be something ___________.▆ Answers:1) The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they were living in hell.2) If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means, you will not be happy with it. You will think you area mean person.3) Long-term happiness is based on honesty and productive work, contribution, and self-esteem.4) If your happiness depends on external circumstances, you will always feel unfulfilled because there will always be something missing.Script:HappinessMany people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. Let me tell you this is not true. The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they were living in hell. We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs. Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems.Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness. Lottery winnings do not bring happiness. To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution to others’ happiness and in the wealth you have earned through your own honest effort. If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means, you will not be happy with it. You will think you are a mean person.Long-term happiness is based on honesty and productive work, contribution, and self-esteem.Happiness is not an end; it is a process. It is a continuous process of honest and productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person. As one writer put it, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” It’s no use saying, “Someday when I achieve these goals, when I get a car, build a house and own my own business, then I will be really happy.” Lif e just does not work that way. If you wait for certain things to happen and depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something missing.Part III Read and ExploreText ASection A Discovering the Main Ideas1. Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why did the author bring the news story about Ted Turner to Morrie?2) What problem did Morrie think Ted Turner actually had?3) Who paid a visit to Morrie the night before? And how did he feel about it?4) What did material things mean to Morrie?5) According to Morrie, what are Americans brainwashed into believing? What do they expect from materialthings?6) Does the author think that Morrie was rich? Why or why not?7) What did Morrie suggest that we should do to find a meaningful life?▆ Answers for Reference:1) Because he wondered how Morrie would react to Ted Turner’s failure in “snatching up the CBS network”.At the same time he wanted to know if Ted Turner would still lament his failure if he were stricken down by the same terminal disease as Morrie was suffering from.2) His problem was a typical one that Americans all have: Americans tend to value the wrong things.3) A local a cappela group came to visit him. He showed an intense interest in their musical performance andfelt excited.4) They held little or no significance to him, especially at a time when he knew his days were numbered. Heseemed to know the expression “You can’t take it with you” a long time ago.5) They are brainwashed into believing that it is good to own things. Actually, they are hungry for gentleness,tenderness or for a sense of comradeship and, therefore, they desperately seek after material things as substitutes.6) Morrie was far from better off in material things, but he was wealthy in spiritual ways. For years, Morriehadn’t bought anything new— except medical equipment. And his bank account was rapidly depleting.But he was rich in love, friendship, caring and he derived plenty of satisfaction and gratification from teaching, communication, and such simple pleasures as singing, laughing, and dancing.7) He advised us to devote ourselves to loving others, to our community around us, and to creating somethingthat gives us purpose and meaning. In other words, if we want to find a meaningful life, we should be ourselves and never show off either for people at the top or for people at the bottom. Instead, we should be kind and candid and ready to offer others what we have to give.2.Text A can be divided into four parts, with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Paragraph(s) Main IdeaPart One 1-3 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Part Two 4-9 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Part Three 10-14 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Part Four 15-30 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________▆▆ Answers for Reference:Paragraph(s) Main IdeaPart One 1-3 The author brought Ted Turner’s news story to Morrie forhis opinion.Part Two 4-9 Morrie explained that Ted Turner’s problem was caused bythe endlessly repeated stress on the significance of materialthings.Part Three 10-14 In order to get happiness, people are trying to substitutematerial things for love or tenderness, and they fail todistinguish what they want and what they really need inlife.Part Four 15-30 The way to get satisfaction is to offer with an open heart toothers what you have to give: devote yourself to lovingothers, devote yourself to your community around you, anddevote yourself to creating something that gives youpurpose and meaning.Section B In-Depth StudyOn his graduation, Mitch Albom, the narrator, told his favorite professor, Morrie Schwartz, that he would keep in touch. However, Mitch didn’t resume the contact with his old professor until one night on TV when he saw Morrie being interviewed in a wheelchair. It turned out that Morrie had developed ALS (重症肌无力), a terminal disease (不治之症). Soon Mitch realized that he still had a lot to learn from his teacher. He visited Morrie every Tuesday until the fourteenth one, when Morrie passed away. On those Tuesdays he had “classes”, where Morrie gave lessons and wisdom to him. The text you are going to read is the eighth Tuesday’s class wher e Morrie talks about what role money or material things are supposed to play in life.The Eighth Tuesday We Talk About MoneyMitch Albom1 I held up the newspaper so that Morrie could see it:2 “I DON’T WANT MY TOMBSTONE TO READI NEVER OWNED A NETWORK.”3 Morrie laughed, then shook his head. The morning sun was coming through the window behind him, falling on the pink flowers of the hibiscus plant that sat on the sill. The quote was from Ted Turner, the billionaire media mogul, founder of CNN, who had been lamenting his inability to snatch up the CBS network in a corporate megadeal. I had brought the story to Morrie this morning because I wondered if Turner ever found himself in my old professor’s position, his breath disappearing, his body turning to stone, his days being crossed off the calendar one by one — would he really be crying over owning a network?4 “It’s all part of the same problem, Mitch,” Morrie said. “We put our values in the wrong things. And it leads to very disillusioned lives. I thin k we should talk about that.”5 Morrie was focused. There were good days and bad days now. He was having a good day. The night before, he had been entertained by a local a cappella group that had come to the house to perform, and he relayed the story excitedly, as if the Ink Spots themselves had dropped by for a visit.Morrie’s love for music was strong even before he got sick, but now it was so intense that it moved him to tears. He would listen to opera sometimes at night, closing his eyes, riding along with the magnificent voices as they dipped and soared.6 “You should have heard this group last night, Mitch. Such a sound!”7 Morrie had always been taken with simple pleasures, singing, laughing, dancing.Now, more than ever, material things held little or no significance. When people die, you always hear the expression “You can’t take it with you.” Morrie seemed to know that a long time ago.8 “We’ve got a form of brainwashing going on in our country,” Morrie sighed. “Do you know how they brainwash peop le? They repeat something over and over. And that’s what we do in this country. Owning things is good. More money is good. More property is good. More commercialism is good. More is good. More is good. We repeat it — and have it repeated to us — over and over until nobody bothers to even think otherwise. The average person is so fogged up by all this that he has no perspective on what’s really important anymore.9 “Wherever I went in my life, I met people wanting to gobble up something new. Gobble up a new car. Gobble up a new piece of property. Gobble up the latest toy. And then they wanted to tell you about it. ‘Guess what I got? Guess what I got?’10 “You know how I always interpreted that? These were people so hungry for love that they were accepting substitutes. They were embracing material things and expecting a sort of hug back. But it never works. You can’t substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship.11 “Money is not a substitute for tendernes s, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. I can tell you, as I’m sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you’relooking for, no matter how much of them you have.”12 I glanced around Morrie’s stud y. It was the same today as it had been the first day I arrived. The books held their same places on the shelves. The papers cluttered the same old desk. The outside rooms had not been improved or upgraded. In fact, Morrie really hadn’t bought anything new—except medical equipment — in a long, long time, maybe years. The day he learned that he was terminally ill was the day he lost interest in his purchasing power.13 So the TV was the same old model, the car that Charlotte drove was the same old model, the dishes and the silverware and the towels — all the same. And yet the house had changed so drastically. It had filled with love and teaching and communication. It had filled with friendship and family and honesty and tears. It had filled with colleagues and students and meditation teachers and therapists and nurses and a cappella groups. It had become, in a very real way, a wealthy home, even though Morrie’s bank account was rapidly depleting.14 “There’s a big confusion in this country over what we want versus what we need,” Morrie said. “You need food, you want a chocolate sundae. You have to be honest with yourself. You don’t need the latest sports car, you don’t need the biggest house.15 “The truth is, you don’t get satisfaction from those things. You know what really gives you satisfaction?” What?16 “Offering others what you have to give.”17 You sound like a Boy Scout.18 “I don’t mean money, Mitch. I mean your time. Your concern. Your storytelling. It’s not so hard. There’s a senior center that opened near here. Dozens of elderly people come there every day. If you’re a young man or young woman and you have a skill, you are asked to come and teach it. Say you know computers. You come there and teach them computers. You are very welcome there. And they are very grateful. This is how you start to get respect, by offering something that you have.19 “There are plenty of places to do this. You don’t need to have a big talent. There are lonely people in hospitals and shelters who only want some companionship. You play cards with a lonely older man and you find new respect for yourself, because you are needed.20 “Remember what I said about finding a meaningful life? I wrote it down, but now I can recite it: Devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.21 “You notice,” he added, grinning, “there’s nothing in there about a salary.”22 I jotted some of the things Morrie was saying on a yellow pad. I did this mostly because I didn’t want him to see my eyes, to know what I was thinking, that I had been, for much of my life since graduation, pursuing these very things he had been railing against — bigger toys, nicer house. Because I worked among rich and famous athletes, I convinced myself that my needs were realistic, my greed trivial compared to theirs.23 This was a smokescreen. Morrie made that obvious. “Mitch, if you’re trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down on yo u anyhow. And if you’re trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.”24 He paused, then looked at me. “I’m dying, right?” Yes.25 “Why do you think it’s so important for me to hear other people’s problems? Don’t I have enough pain and suffering of my own?26 “Of course I do. But giving to other people is what makes me feel alive. Not my car or my house. Not what I look like in the mirror. When I give my time, when I can make someone smile after they were feeling sad, it’s as close to healthy as I ever feel.27 “Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, you won’t be longing for somebody else’s things. On the contrary, you’ll be overwhelmed with what comes back.”28 He coughed and reached for the small bell that lay on the chair. He had to poke a few times at it, and I finally picked it up and put it in his hand.29 “Thank you,” he whispered. He shook it weakly, trying to get Connie’s attention.30 “This Ted Turner guy,” Morrie said, “he couldn’t think of anything else for his tombstone?”▇课文参考译文相约第八个星期二：关于金钱米奇·阿尔博姆1 我举起报纸，让莫里能看见这句话：2 “我不愿意我的墓碑上刻着‘我不曾拥有一个广播电视公司’。

PARAPHRASEUNIT11.For twenty minutes,the terminal area was aswarm with activity as cars and lorries poured forth,customs people did their duties,and everyone made for the London road(有二十分钟光景，多佛港站头上沸反盈天，这头轿车卡车势如潮涌，那厢海关差役恪尽职守，人人都忙着赶路去伦敦).-The ferry port was busy with activities for twenty minutes. A lot of cars and lorries went in continuous stream out of the port, customs officers were busy doing their duties, and everybody was moving towards the London road.2.I was socially and sartorially ill-suited for such an establishment and anyway it was clearly beyond my meager budget(就我这阶层，就我这身打扮，跟这么一栋楼是格格不入的，而且，不管怎么说吧，我口袋里那几个寒碜的子儿，显然付不起这笔开销).-The Churchill is such a luxurious hotel that it is only suitable for those rich people who are socially respectable and well dressed. For me, a poor man not well dressed, it is definitely not suitable. Besides I did not have much money to spend and could not afford it any way.3.Further along Marine Parade stood a shelter,open to the elements but roofed,and I decided that this was as good as I was going to get(沿着海滨大道再往前一段，矗立着一座棚屋，四壁洞开，但好歹有个屋顶，于是我认定能栖身此地对我已是能有的最好选择).-In the distance on the Marine Parade I found a structure with a roof although it was exposed to natural forces. I decided that it could serve my purpose and would be as good as a room in a guesthouse.4.The bench was slatted and hard and studded with big roundheaded bolts that made reclining in comfort an impossibility—doubtless their intention(长凳上覆了层板条，硬邦邦的，还敲着圆头大螺钉，想舒舒服服地躺着根本不可能——毫无疑问，他们这是存心的). -The bench was made of thin pieces of wood and thus very hard to sleep on. Besides it was decorated with big roundheaded bolts. Therefore it was impossible to lie on it in a comfortable way. There is no doubt that the bench was designed in this way on purpose.5.Afterwards,feeling a new man,I emerges with a toothpick and a burp,and sauntered happily through the streets,watching Dover come to life.It must be said that Dover was not vastly improved by daylight,but I like it(饭一吃完，顿感自己焕然一新，我叼着牙签，打着饱嗝，在大街小巷上闲逛，看着多佛港醒过来。
说句实话，白昼的来临也并没有让多佛的面貌脱胎换骨，可我喜欢).-After the breakfast I felt like a new man and walked out of the cafe with a toothpick in my mouth and burped. I wandered on the street leisurely and happily, seeing Dover become more lively. I had to admit that Dover did not become a more attractive town during the daytime, but anyway I liked it.6.But park systems in most developing countries are failing to invest at anywhere near the necessary levels to build capacity for managing the growth in park visits(但是大多数发展中国家的公园体系的投资增长却没达到维持公园游客增长所需的能力).-In most developing countries, parks are run in such a way that investment is far below the necessary amount to manage the growing number of visitors.7.The failure of destination countries to budget adequately for tourism management in parks is eroding the very natural capital that visitors travel to see(旅游目的地国家不能为旅游管理提供必要的经费已经消耗了不少游客所向往的自然资本了).-The destination countries do not invest enough in managing and preserving the parks so the result is that the natural sceneries that attract the visitors and bring the revenue are being destroyed.8.If the current levels of investment continue, the tourism boom is likely to be followed before long by a bust(如果继续按照目前的投资水平，旅游繁荣不久就会面临失败).-If we can continue to invest in the present inadequate level, the tourism will probably cease to prosper soon.9.Aside from managing the threats tourism poses, conservationists should also focus on developing the financial opportunity that the growth in tourism represents(除了应对旅游业带来的威胁，环境保护主义者还应专注于开发旅游业增长代表的金融机会).-On one hand, the conservationists need to deal with the environmental threats caused by tourism development; on the other hand, they should also concentrate on developing tourism in order to bring more economical development.10.The Ecuadorian tourism industry has shown willingness to support such initiatives after analyzing financial projections that showed greater demand resulting from improved investment(厄瓜多尔旅游业经过对财务方案的分析，发现改善投资后会带来更多的需求，也愿意支持这些计划).-The Ecuadorian tourist businesses analyzed their prospects which showed an increase in investment would bring about a bigger market, so they are ready to introduce improved system, and at the same time increase charges on visitors, who are willing to pay appropriate fees.11.Conservationists around the world would do well to consider the implications for their own protected areas(全世界的环境保护主义者如果考虑一下这项措施对于他们自己国家的保护区意味着什么，也能取得不错的效果).-All the people in this world who advocate environmental protection should consider what the above mentioned actions will lead to the environment they protect; they should be aware that it is a win-win situation.UNIT21.Never mind the popular palaver about marriage as a source of bliss for the couple,security for the kids and societal stability(先不要管那些流行的空话，说婚姻是夫妻幸福的源泉、是孩子安全和社会稳定的保障).-You don’t need to worry about what others say about marriage, for example, a large number of people say that married people can be very happy, their children can be protected and society can be stable if more people get married. But this is just nonsense if the practical aspect of marriage is not taken into account.2.Marriage is criticized as a source of stress(and it is),conflict(that too)and endless crises that need to be resolved(guilty there as well)(婚姻被指责为压力的根源（确实是这样）、矛盾冲突的原因（这也没错），并导致没完没了的危机亟需化解（同样难脱其咎）).-There are also negative opinions on marriage, for example, marriage can cause stress, conflict and crises. All these criticisms are correct and you have to solve these marriage-related problems.3.Depression and other emotional ills are less likely to go undiagnosed if there’s someone at home who’s mindful of your moods and notices if they darken(如果家里有个人非常留意你的心情，注意你的情绪变化，那么抑郁症和其它情感上的问题也不太可能得不到及时确诊). -After getting married, your spouse will be careful of your feelings and sensitive to the changes in your emotions. If you have any symptom of depression or other emotional ills, your spouse will notice it immediately.4.The daily stresses of the modern world can throw our bodies into emergency mode and keep us there.That takes a toll through high blood pressure,tension headaches and a lot of gnawed pencils(现代生活的日常压力会使我们的身体一直处于紧急状况中。
