Unit 1 hit the nail on the head 恰到好处Have you ever watched a clumsy man hammering a nail into a box? He hits it first to one side, then to another, perhaps knocking it over completely, so that in the end he only gets half of it into the wood. A skillful carpenter, on the other hand, will drive the nail with a few firm, deft blows, hitting it each time squarely on the head. So with language; the good craftsman will choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective（模糊的形容词）, will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English. He will try always to get the word that is completely right for his purpose.你见过一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上钉钉子吗？只见他左敲敲，右敲敲，说不准还会将整个钉子锤翻，结果敲来敲去到头来只敲进了半截。
而娴熟的木匠就不这么干。
他每敲一下都会坚实巧妙地正对着钉头落下去，一钉到底。
语言也是如此。

Paraphrase 2 The news media seem to…respond to daily events? The different ways of providing news seem all to follow the belief that all news is bad news. Why is this so? Could it be because people are used to put emphasis on negative news as a rule and because newsperson are generally sensitive to such news when facing everyday happenings?
Paraphrase 1 The other was the editor…solid reporting. The other was a complete newspaperman—uncompromising, energetic and knowledgeable about how to report reliable news based on facts.

Unit Nine: 新闻将咱们引向何方不久前我应邀参加了一次有关美国报业的作用的公众研讨会。
还有另外两个佳宾也出席了。
一名是知名的电视节目主持人，另一名是美国一家主要报纸的编辑，他是一名彻头彻尾的新闻工作者---- 在据实报导的方式上坚忍不拔、踊跃进取且见地过人。
据我所知本次研讨旨在审查传媒的义务，并提出实现那些义务的最佳途径。
在公开讨论时，观众席中的一名男士向两位佳宾提问，“为何报纸和电视新闻节目都充斥灾难？为何新闻界的男男女女对悲剧、暴力、和失败是如此关注？”主持人和编辑作出了回答，恍如是自己应该为坏消息的存在而受到谴责一样。
他们说，新闻工作者只负责报导新闻，而不负责制造或修改新闻。
我不以为这两位新闻工作者回答了这个问题。
提出这个问题的先生并无因为世上的歪曲报导而谴责他们。
他只是想知道为何报导得最多的是歪曲的事件。
新闻媒体的运作理念似乎是凡是新闻皆坏事。
为何呢？是不是着重报导负面新闻是一种传统——是新闻工作者所习以为常的对日常事件作出的反映方式？在此或许分析一下咱们如何概念“新闻”一词会有所帮忙，因为这是问题的起因。
新闻应该是报导过去十二小时，最迟二十四小时内所发生的事情。
但是，突发事件往往具有爆炸性的：一名狙击手枪杀了几名行人，一名恐怖分子劫持了飞机上250名人质，欧佩克石油组织宣布原油价钱上涨25%，英国货币又贬值10%，一辆载有放射性废料的卡车与一架水泥搅拌车相撞。
但是，一味聚焦这些报导，则是失真的画面。
人类文明功效远远多于灾难总和。
每种文明中最重要的成份就是进步。
但进步不会当即发生，也没有暴发性。
一般来讲，它是一点一滴慢慢发展的，在某个特按时刻是微不足察的。
可是所有微小的进步都参与了历史性的剧变的实现，使社会加倍美好。
就是这种活生生的历史，绝大多数的新闻媒体没有予以充分的反映，结果致使咱们对社会的正面发展了解不足，对灾难却知之甚多，这又令人产生失败和失望的情绪，而这些情绪易于阻碍社会进步。

ParaphraseUnit1.1 A writer who pay great attention to expressing the exact English will never be satisfied with a word which can not express an idea accurately.U1.2 For the reader can easily understand what kind of feelings and thoughts we want to convey, we need to be careful to choose the words we used in article.U1.3Finding the most suitable word is in no sense easy. But there is nothing like the delight and excitement we shall experience when we pick up such a word.U1.4 If we can use language accurately we are in a position to totally understand the subject matter.U2.1 The result is, the sea, the cradle of many civilizations, is seriously polluted. It is the first of the seas that has been made to suffer from a situation resulting from development mixed with an irresponsible mentality.U2.2 Further, while the places such as Cannes and Tel Aviv dispose of their wastes through a pipe stretching out half a mile from the shore, most cities do not bother to do that but simply dump their sewage directly into the sea along the coastline.U2.3 There is an even bigger hazard hidden in the seafood dishes that are forever so appealing to those holiday makers.U2.4 Factories are set up around the coastline, few of which, including the most sophisticated, have been equipped with a satisfactory system for dealing with their effluents.U3.1 Einstein's natural ability of intuitively getting to the essence of a subject and unusual awareness of beauty were the key to his great discoveries.U3.2His engrossment was incredibly intense and deep. When meeting a difficult problem, he attempted to deal it with great effort, just like an animal chases its prey until it gets the prey.U3.3 He would look lost in thought, thinking about something distant, and yet meditating within himself. He did not seem to be in deep thought, nor did he knit his brows----he was just in self----contained peaceful contemplation.U3.4 Einstein's assumptions, considered separately, seemed to be reasonable, credible and clear in the original sense. But when considered together, they were so strongly contradictory to each other that a less learned scholar would have given up one or the other completely and would no longer take up the issue again.U3.5Einstein’s work was done quietly with pencil on paper and seemed to be far away from the confusion of everyday life, but his ideas were so radical that they led to strong arguments and made people unreasonably angry.U4.1The beautiful clothes worn by the poor and the myth story about the affluent society always cover the severe fact of the poor.U4.2 The middle class was misled by the beauty and myths mask of the poverty, and their unawareness made more complex this separation between the rich and the poor.U5.1Children have become television addicts, devoting much of the time when they are together to watching TV.U5.2 Television is not merely one among many important factors that may influence a child today.U5.3 Television has brought about great changes in family life, playing the dominant role in shaping the lives of chil dren today.U5.4 .....the television has its magic power over people. As soon as the television is on, people stop talking and doing anything else, becoming lifeless statues before the TV scre en.U5.5 The moment a child sits down to watch television is the moment his growth towards maturity is suspended.Translate the following into EnglishU1.1 After citing many facts and listing some statistics, he finally drove home his points.U1.2It took us half a year more or less to finish the research project.U1.3.What he said was so subtle that we could hardly make out his true intention.U1.4His new book looks squarely at the contemporary social problems.U1.5 Today, the young generation is very much alive to the newest information which on the Internet.U1.6 Is a matter of opinion whether a foreign language is more easily learned in one’s childhood or otherwise.U1.7 Never lose heart in the face of a setback; just take courage and deal with it squarely.U1.8 Rice, meat, vegetables, and fruit constitute balanced diets. U2.1 One person's effort is not enough to cope with such a complicated situation.U2.2When do you think the new rules about information will take effect?U2.3 There is little chance to win the lottery, maybe only a one -in -hundred chance.U2.4 It is deplorable that many teenagers fall victim to poison.U2.5 There is virtually no one who support his proposal.U2.6 Beware of the swindler with a slick tongue and a smiling face.U2.7 Don’t touch the bag, The explosive in it may blow up at any minute. Your life will be at risk.U2.8 He looked confident about his job，but he lurked some doubts in the depth of his mind.U3.1He honked his car horn to alert the pedestrians.U3.2 The fast development of information technology is an outstanding example of human endeavor.U3.3 Mary gropes for the proper words to express her thanks to the teachers.U3.4 The headmaster's plain words conveyed a message of challenge to the young people.U3.5 Don't tamper with the wires, or you may cause a short circuit.U3.6 He thought he could defeat any opponent in the competition , but his over-confidence led to his failure.U3.7 What he said seems simple, but we can't fathom the implicit meaning in it.U3.8 He tried to steer the groups random conversation to some constructive topics.U4.1Can I be exempt from the regular physical examination this year？I just had one three month ago before I went to the summer camp.U4.2 Could you tell me again what I should do next? It has slipped out of my mind what you said to me yesterday.U4.3We all assumed that Dave was a trustworthy person, but it turned out that we were wrong.U4.4His misfortune was compounded by his wife's ill and his loss of job.U4.5 Whether or not there are living beings in other space is of perennial interest to man.U4.6 When you are under great strain, you will not be abl e to think clearly.U4.7 Jim tends to lose his temper when his advice is not heeded. U4.8 Despite the teacher has erudite knowledge，he feels that it's difficult to speak articulately the need of students.U5.1 Jane is a smart girl, she can always give any question appropriate answers on the spur of the moment.U5.2 Our teacher attained full professorship before he was forty. U5.3 Environmental pollution is afflicts many cities and towns around the world.U5.4 Acupuncture therapy produces marked effects on patientssuffering from arthritis.U5.5 Instead of being profit-oriented, hospitals should make their efforts to take good care of the patients.U5.6 What sort of people are involved in the lawsuit?U5.7 The factory is taking drastic measures to ameliorate the working conditions in the workshop.U5.8 Outstanding young men and women are emerging from various walks of life .。

Unit 1恰到好处你一个笨手笨脚的男人往箱子上子？只他左敲敲，右敲敲，不准会将整个子翻，果敲来敲去到来只敲了半截。
而熟的木匠就不么干。
他每敲一下都会巧妙地正着落下去，一到底。
言也是如此。
一位秀的家造句上力求准确而有力地表达自己的点。
差不多的，不准确的短，摸棱两可的表达，含糊不清的修，都无法使一位追求真英的作家意。
他会一直思考，直至找到那个能准确表达他的意思的。
法国人有一个很切的短来表达一个意思，即“ le mot juste”, 恰到好的。
有很多关于精益求精的作家的名人事，比如福楼拜常花几天的力求使一两个句子在表达上准确无。
在浩瀚的海中，与之有着微妙的区，要找到能恰如其分表达我意思的非易事。
不是扎的言功底和相当大的量的，需要人尽汁，要察敏。
是程的一个步，也是描述我的思想感情并表达出来使自己以及听众和者深刻理解的一个。
有人：“在我思想未成文之前，我怎么知道自己的想法？” 听起来似乎很离，但它确很有道理。
找恰如其分的的确是件不容易的事。
一旦找到了那个，我就会感到很欣慰：辛得到了回。
准确地用言有助于我深入了解我描述的事物。
例如，当有人你：“某某是怎么的人？”你回答：“恩，我想他是个不的家伙，但他非常⋯⋯”接着你犹豫了，找到一个或短来明他到底在哪里。
当你找到一个恰当的短的候，你自己他的看法更清楚，也更精确了。
一些英根相同而意却截然不同。
例如human 和 humane, 二者的根相同，也相关，但用法完全不同。
“human action (人行 ) ”和“ humane action( 人道行 ) ”完全是两事。
我不能“人道力宣言”，而是“人宣言”。
有一种屠工具叫“ humane killer (麻醉屠宰机 ) ，而不是 human killer (人机器 ) 。
言中的坏手的例子在我身随可。
有人邀一名学生去吃，他写信予回复。
看他的信是尾的：“我将很高赴并不安（anxiety）期待着那个日子的到来。
”“ Anxiety ”含有和恐惧的意味。

新编英语教程5 练习册答案
Unit 8 Why Nothing Works1. Much of human existence consists of efforts aimed at making sure that things don’t go wrong, fall apart, break down, or stop running until a decent interval has elapsed after their manufacture.(Para.1)---People spend much of their lifetime trying hard to keep things in good shape. They think a product, after leaving its factory, should last at least for a reasonably long period before ceasing to work.2. But gadgets and sampling alone will never do the trick since these items are also subject to Murphy’s Law.(Para.1)--- Quality-control instruments and testing devices are also governed by Murphy's Law, so they are not reliable.3. A single visit to a museum which displays artifacts used by simple preindustrial societies is sufficient to dispel the notion that quality is dependent on technology.(Para.2)---Look at the artifacts of the pre-industrial era exhibited in a museum and you will see that technology is not the factor that decides the quality of these items.4. In unskilled or uncaring hands a handmade basket or boat can fall apart quickly as basket or boats made by machines.(Para.3)---If a handmade basket or boat is made by an inexperienced or irresponsible worker, it may break down as easily as machine-made baskets or boats.5. I rather think that the reason we honor the label “handmade” is because it evokes not a technological relationship between producer and product but a social relationship between producer and consumer.(Para.3)---My opinion is that it is the social relationship between producer and consumer rather than the technological relationship between producer and product that makes "handmade" items so highly regarded.Unit 9 Where Is the News Leading Us?1. The other was … a newsman to the core – tough , aggressive, and savvy in the ways and means of solid reporting. (P. 1)_______The other was a newspaperman through and through -- uncompromising, energetic, and intelligent about how to report reliable news based on facts.2. The news media seem to operate on the philosophy that all news is bad news. Why? Could it be that the emphasis on downside news is largely the result of tradition – the way newsmen are accustomed to respond to daily events? (P.5)_______ The different ways of providing news, i. e. , the newspaper, television, and radio seem all to follow the belief that all news is bad news. Why is this so? Could it be because people are used to dwelling on negative news as a rule and because newspaper people are generally sensitive to such news when facing everyday happenings?3. I am not suggesting that “positive” news be contrived as an antidote to the disasters on page one. Nor do I define positive news as in-depth reportage of functions of the local YMCA.(P.9)__________I do not mean to propose that we make up some "good" news and use it as a remedy for the catastrophes reported on the front page. Neither do I consider good news as a thorough and detailed news story about how the local YMCA operates.4. News people provide us with the only picture we have of ourselves and of the world. It had better be a true portrait – and not a caricature – for it is this picture on which we will base our decisions and around which we will plan our future. (P.11)________What the news media report on us and on the world is the only information about ourselves and about the world we get. Such reportage had better be faithful to our life - and not be a distortion - because we must rely on the truthful picture of our life to make our decisions and plan our future.5. The acquired culture is not transmitted in our genes. The good life in the good society, though attainable, is never attained and possessed once and for all. What has been attained will again be lost if the wisdom of the good life in a good society is not tr ansmitted.”(P.12)________The knowledge that you come to possess by your own efforts over a long period of time does not become part of your inborn character. You may be able to earn the good life in a good society, but such good life cannot be yours permanently. If the understanding of the good life in a good society is not passed on, you will lose what you have earned.Unit 10 Things: The Throw-away Society1. Little girls adore Barbie because she is highly realistic and eminently dress-upable (Para.l)---The reason why Barbie appeals so much to little girls is that she looks just like a real person in real life who can be dressed up in the way they wish.2. Moreover, Mattel announced that, for the first time, any young ladywishing to purchase a new Barbie would receive a trade-in allowance for her old one. (Para.2)---Moreover, Mattel made public that, for the first time, all girls desirous of buying a Barbie from its company were to be given the right of turning in their old dolls in exchange for new models at a reduced price.3. But increasingly, it is the technologically produced environment that matters for the individual. (Para.4)---But more and more, man-made products form a very important part in the lives of people.4. Man-made things enter into and color his consciousness. (Para.4)---Technologically produced things come to be accepted by people and are beginning to shape their mentality.5. Their number is expanding with explosive force, both absolutely and relative to the natural environment. (Para.4)---There has been a tremendous increase in machine-produced things in terms of their actual amount as well as their physical size in proportion to our natural environment.6. Nothing could be more dramatic than the difference between … until it disintegrates from sheer age. (Para.6)---This difference seems most noticeable between the modern throw-away-oriented girls who, on the one hand, are delighted in replacing their out-of-date Barbies forup-to-date ones, and their old-fashioned counterparts, on the other hand, who, like their mothers and grandmothers, are reluctant to part with their dear little dolls until they are timeworn and broken/until they fall apart.7. The idea of using a product once or for a brief period and then replacing it, runs counter to the grain of societies or individuals steeped in a heritage of poverty. (Para.8)---The practice whereby people use a product and then quickly discard it may readily be rejected by those accustomed by scarcity to holding on to their old possessions. Unit 111. The stronger the will, the more futile the task.The more you attempt to shake off your worry, the harder it will be for you to get rid of it.2. It is no use starting late in life to say: I will take an interest in this or that.It is not a good idea to begin thinking of pursuing a hobby when you have already grown old.3. It is no use doing what you like: you have got to like what you doIt is no good believing that you are in a position to enjoy at a moment’s notice any pastime which happens to catch your fancy; pleasure comes from exerting one’s talents in a hobby suited to one’s circumstances4. As for the unfortunate people who can command everything they want, who can gratify every caprice and lay hands on almost every object of desir……Since those very wealthy people can afford to get access to almost anything they may think of and to turn the most fanciful ideas into reality, there is nothing in this world that can interest or excite them any more. To them, a new pleasure, a new excitement may very often make them even more bored about life.5. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means…..In fact, it is probably those whose work provides them with their enjoyment are those who are most in need of periodic distractions from their work.Unit 121. The life history of the individual is first and foremost an accommodation to the patterns and standards…..A person's life is, above all else, shaped by conformity to the customs passed down in his society.2. Until we are intelligent as to its laws and varieties, the main complicating facts of human life,,,,We cannot understand the complexities of human life unless we know the role of custom in all its manifestations.3. …any scientific study requires that there be no preferential weighting of …..If we conduct any systematic inquiry, it is essential for us to be unbiased/ we need to be unbiased towards every component part of the subject under examination.4. Anthropology was by definition impossible as long as these distinction between ourselves and the primitive…..While people were convinced that differences between themselves on the one hand and a boriginal and backward people on the other hand were irreconcilable, the scientific studyof the human race as such was not possible.Unit11.Nothing in life is more exciting and rewarding than the sudden flash of light that lea ves you a changed person--not only changed, but changed for the better.The most inspiring and gratifying fact of life is the unexpected spark of enlightenment that makes you different and a better person than before.2. He came across the street, finally, muffled in his ancient overcoat, shapeless felt hat pulled down over his bald head,looking more like an energetic gnome than an eminen t psychiatrist.At last he walked over from the other side of the street, wrapped in his old-fashioned overcoat, his bald head covered by a shapeless felt hat. He looked like a dwarfish old man full of energy rather than a well-known psychiatrist.3. The woman who spoke next had never married because of a sense of obligation to h er widowed mother; she recalled bitterly all the marital chances she had let go by. The next speaker on the tape was a woman who had remained single because she thou ght she was obliged to take care of her mother who was a widow. She still remembere d and told others miserably about all the chances of marriage she had missed.4. In the end, if you let it become a habit, it can become a real roadblock, an excuse fo r not trying any more.Eventually, if you form a habit of saying “if only”, the phrase can really turn to an obs truction, providing you with an excuse for giving up trying anything at all.5. ... you never got out of the past tense. Not once did you mention the future.…you are always thinking of the past, regretting and lamenting. You did not look forwar d to what you can do in the future at all.6. ''My, my,'' said the Old Man slyly. ''If only we had come down ten seconds sooner, we'd have caught that cab, wouldn't we?''The Old Man said to me trickily, using the phrase “if only” on purpose, “If only we’d got here ten seconds earlier, we’d have caught the cab.” I laughed and understood wha t he meant. So I followed his advice and said, “Next time I’ll run faster”.。

Unit NineTEXT 1SHOULD THE PRESS BE HUMAN?Katharine WhitehornObjectives: to figure out the two options a journalist is facing and the paras. referring to these two options alternately.to identify the examples used to illustrate the options.to state their own opinions on what a journalist should do in face of atrocity.Pre-class work1. Read the text and catch the central idea by doing Comp.1.2. Read the Organization & Development and try as much as possible to complete the exercises.Section onePre-reading questions: (10 mins.)1. What’s the meaning of ‘press’ in the title? (Pre-reading Q1)Four definitions of the word ‘press’ are given in an authoritative dictionary, namely, 1) journalism, 2) newspapers and periodicals, 3) news reporters, and 4) comment in newspapers and periodicals. The definition that suits the title best is 3), because only people can be human.2. What do you predict about the general ideas of this passage?In the passage Whitehorn has presented two options a journalist is facing:1) Inhuman: He should stay cold-blooded and go on reporting while people are being killed.2) Human: He should be human, take sides(= favor or support a person or a group in a dispute or debate ), and interfere.3. What was the accident happening in France but known to the world that was concerned with the newsmen? How much do you know about it? What do you think of those newsmen?Diana’s death caused by the car accident, but the real cause was thoseinhuman and apathetic newsmen.In-reading discussion:Step 1. Organization and Development1. In the passage Whitehorn has presented alternately in the paras. two optionsa journalist is facing: inhuman - to accomplish his job only without any notice of his interviewee’s or his target personnel’s sufferings;human - to be human, take sides, and interfere in spite of the possible danger.Decide the paras. which refer to the 1st and the 2nd option respectively, and both of the options, and give reasons. (10 mins.)1 &2 - paras. 1, 3, 8Opt.1 - paras.2, 5Opt.2 - paras. 4, 6, 7The paras. referring to these two options altogether:Paras.1, 3, 8Para.1 (10 mins.)1. What do you know about Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, and (John F.) Kennedy?See Library Work for details.John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963) was the 35th president of the USA. He was the youngest man and the first Roman Catholic to be elected president (1960). His greatest triumph in foreign affairs was the signing of the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty by the US, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union in 1963. The signatories agreed to stop all testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, in outer space, and under water, thus permitting only underground tests, which did not contaminate the atmosphere. Within a few months, more than 100 other nations signed the treaty.Late in 1963, in preparation for the coming year’s presidential election, K began a series of trips to various parts of the country. On Nov. 22, 1963, K and others were on their way to a luncheon in downtown Dallas, Texas. As the motorcade approached an underpass at 12.30 p.m., two fatal shots were fired inrapid succession. One bullet passed through K’s neck and the other struck the president in the head. K fell forward and his car sped to Parkland Hospital. At 1.00 p.m., he was pronounced dead.L.H.Oswald, employed in the warehouse from which the bullet that killed K was fired, was conferred as the suspect in the assassination He was arrested that afternoon in a Dallas movie theater and charged with murder.Two days later, as L.H.Oswald was transferred from one jail to another, he was shot dead by J.Ruby, who sprang out from a group of newsmen. This very scene was photographed by a newsman on the spot.It’s a pity the investigation commission found no evidence that either L.H.O or J.R was part of any conspiracy, domestic or foreign, to assassinate President Kennedy.2. So a question is raised here, a question that teased the writer’s mind (disturbed her mind persistently): who really killed Oswald: Ruby or that photographer? If that photographer had dropped his camera and grabbed Ruby when he saw Ruby was going to shoot Oswald, instead of taking the chance to shooting these staggering pictures of Ruby gunning Oswald down, Oswald would not have been killed, and the public would know more about the assassination of Kennedy.In the beginning para. the author hypothesizes about what might have resulted if the photographer had stopped the killer on the spot. (Comp.2-1) Deriving from this illustration, another question is implied: is such kind of newsman human or inhuman? This is the thesis of this passage.Para.3(10 mins.)1. What do you think are the key words in this para.?a tricky ethical question (= a question that asks whether an action is right or wrong),2. Why is a tricky ethical question? Can you say something about it?This is a dilemma: If a journalist / photographer should join in(what’s happening, esp. to run the risk of life to stop something bringing about bad result), the world would not know what atrocities are committed. Even though he dies a brave death, he cannot make the atrocity known to the world.If he stands back and watches(acts as an on-looker or outsider) while peoplekill one another, or in other words, takes the chance to shoot authentic pictures so as to expose the atrocity in the world, he is considered as cold-blooded.The question implied in the first para.: should the photographer seize the chance of shooting these staggering pictures of the live scene, or should he dropped the camera and grabbed the gunman to stop another kill?This question is the same as that posed in para.3.For the cause a journalist/photographer devotes himself to, he should seize every opportunity by all means to make his prompt report or authentic photos so as to expose the event/happening to the world. This is one of the responsibilities of newsmen. However, with respect to humanism, he should first of all stop the atrocity he is witnessing instead of behaving as a sole onlooker, which seems inhuman. So both of the two options are presented in this paragraph.Para.8(5 mins.)1. What does this para. tell us? (comp.3-5)A newsman can make good news report and be human at the same time.i.e., a newsman can adhere to his professional responsibility and social responsibility simultaneously. The press should be human.So the thesis statement of this article is revealed in this last paragraph - the conclusion.The paras. referring to the inhuman option: A journalist should stay cold-blooded and go on reporting while people are being killed.Paras. 2, 5Para.2(15 mins.)1. What is the topic sentence of para.2? And the controlling idea? How is it developed? (comp.3-1)Sentence 1 is the topic sentence: Journalists and TV people are supposed to record what goes on; but in trying to get the best record they can, they may sometimes seem amazingly cold-blooded. and amazingly cold-blooded is the controlling idea. It is developed by two examples.2. What are the examples used to illustrate the topic sentence, or the inhuman option?the photographer making the Indian family bury, rebury, re- rebury its dead several times till he got a perfect shotthe BBC sound man delaying the execution for half an hour just to adjust his sound equipmentRefer to the notes 1, 2.3. What’s the meaning: it didn’t ma ke any difference to the final outcome...(Comp.2-2)=what was to happen still happenedPara.5(10 mins.)1. Why do you think this para. is about the inhuman option?The journalists, or some journalists, behave badly while doing their work (e.g. stay cold-blooded and inhuman in face of any atrocity); what’s more, they still remain inhuman when the work is over.2. What is the example here to illustrate the cold-blooded journalist?the birdman story3. What feeling does the exclamation ‘My God, what a story!’ reveal about the newsman? (Comp.2-4)He was excited because he saw there was a good news story for him.4. But it leaves out a lot.As stated in para. 4, granted that journalists must stay uncommitted and report the fact, there is still a lot not mentioned by their professional ethic. This is indicated by the first sentence of this paragraph: But it leaves out a lot. = The professional ethic of a journalist leaves out a lot.Section twoStep 3 Organization and DevelopmentThe paras. that refer to the 2nd option: A journalist should be human, take sides, and interfere.Paras. 4, 6, 7Para.4(20 mins.)1. What is this para. about?A journalist should stay uncommitted and report the fact, which is one part of the ethic or guidelines of a professional journalist.The 1st sentence is the topic sentence.2. Paraphrase Our professional ethic enjoins us to stay uncommitted and report the facts; and, if we have to have guidelines, that’s probably as good as a one as any.(LW5-1)We journalists, as required by our professional responsibilities, must avoid favoring any of the two conflicting sides and tell the world what has actually happened. This is about the best principle to guide our action, if we find it necessary to have one.3. What does the author think of some of the seediest (= most inferior and disreputable) journalists described in this paragraph? (comp.3-4) The author is not satisfied with the performance of these journalists, who have no definite standards or principles. To report the same type of event, they may use one set of censorious (=critical, fault-finding) adjectives to condemn it, or another set of laudatory (=expressing praise and admiration) qualifiers to show their appreciation, depending on their personal bias. They take sides irresponsibly, and their reportage is guided by anything but objectivity. Granted that journalists must stay uncommitted and report the fact, there is still a lot not mentioned by their professional ethic. This is indicated by the first sentence of the next paragraph: But it leaves out a lot.= the professional ethic of a journalist ...4. What examples are used to illustrate the 2nd option?use of different adjectivesPara.6(15 mins.)1. Paraphrase this paragraph. (LW5-2)To stay out of fight, to write down what’s going on, to treat equally with both sides, as a doctor will stitch up soldiers in either uniform or a lawyer argue for either side - that is supposed to be our code; and when it comes to the crunch, we probably do better trying to stick to that, than rushing off on individual impulse.What we are supposed to do is to keep away from the conflict between the two parties involved and report truthfully the happenings free from any biased viewpoint. Like a doctor or a lawyer in handling his patients or his clients, we must be dispassionate and fair in treating the conflicting sides, which should be regarded as equal.2. What illustrations are given here?doctor and lawyer3. What are the guidelines of other professions? (comp.3-3)The guidelines of other professions are found in para.6: a doctor will stitch up soldiers in either uniform or a lawyer argue for either side.Para.7(15 mins.)1. What is this para. about?the human option.2. What are the examples to illustrate the 2nd option? Say something abut it in your own words.An Italian journalist’s interference in the Tunisian soldiers’ shooting3. Explain the sentence: But is there not a point in any profession where you are forced back against the wall as a human being, where a doctor should hand Jack the Ripper over to the police and a lawyer refuse to suppress the bloodstained evidence that proves his client a torturer?Suppose there is a wall to guard yourself as a human being. Whatever professions you are in, you should not behave beyond the limit of this wall. If so, you are supposed as inhuman. Therefore, a doctor should stitch up soldiers in either uniform, then hand over the criminal or the like to the police; and a lawyer should argue for either side, but not help to suppress his client’s bloodstained evidence. Only in this way can they accomplish their job on the one hand, and fulfill the responsibility as a human being at the same time.Post-reading discussion: (35 mins.)Step 1. What’s the central idea of this passage? (comp.1-A) (5 mins.) While the code (= system of rules and principles that has been accepted by society or a class or group of people ) of the profession decides that journalistsbe impartial (= fair ) and report facts objectively, it does not mean that they should stay inhuman and apathetic (= unsympathetic ) under all circumstances.The press/journalists/news reporters should be human. So the answer that the article provides to the title question is positive.Step 2. Group work for 25 minutes, and then class discussion on the following questions:1. Name at least three responsibilities of a journalist. (pre-reading Q2)Responsibilities of a journalist in China include:- fulfilling the function of serving the CP of China, the People’s Govt., and the Chinese people;- objectivity;- promptness in reporting an event;- due attention to the social effect.2. What do you think a journalist should do when he is facing some atrocity? What do you think of Diana’s death?Section threeTEXT 2WHERE IS THE NEWS LEADING US?Norman CousinsStep 1 (22 mins.)Silent reading of the passage for 2 mins. and come to the group work of three for another 10 mins., finding answers to the questions below, and then class discussion on these questions for about 10 mins.:1. How does N. Cousins put forward the theme of his article: where the news leads us? (paras. 1- 5)One of the audience attending a public symposium on the role of the American press addressed a question to the speakers: why are the news media so disaster-prone? why are newsmen and women so attracted to tragedy, violence, failure? In other words, why are there more bad news reported than good news? i.e. where is the news leading us?2. What are the two differing notions of ‘news’ represented in the article?How does the difference affect news reporting in the mass media? i.e. the definition of ‘news’. (Q 1)Two types of news: (paras. 6, 7)- sudden, eruptive happenings in the past 12 - 24 hours- progress of civilization that comes in bits and piecesNews is generally assumed to be what has happened eruptively in the most recent past; thus it consists mainly of disasters.3. What are the functions that news report may have? or, what is the responsibility of the news media, and in what aspect(s) will it affect people? (paras. 9 - 13)responsibility: to search out and report on important events - whether or not they come under the heading of conflict, confrontation, or catastrophe;both sectors: heaven and hell scrutinizeda wider perspective;affectting our attitudes, this picture on which we will base our decisions and around which we will plan our future;journalist is the public’s philosopher;see more things than the ancients and things more distant.4. What is the tendency in reportages? (para. 8)We are underinformed about positive developments and overinformed about disasters.Step 2 (18 mins.)Open-ended question for group work for 8 mins. and class discussion: How do you assess news reporting in the Chinese mass media? What do you personally think of the news you get from the Chinese mass media? (Q 4)Unit 8Text 2 Where Is the News Leading Us?1.How does N. Cousins put forward the theme of his article:where the news leads us? (paras. 1- 5)2.What are the two differing notions of ‘news’ represented inthe article? How does the difference affect news reporting in the mass media? (paras. 6-8)3.What is the responsibility of the news media according tothe author? (paras. 9-10)4.In what aspect(s) will the news media affect people?(paras. 11 - 13)5.What do you think of the responsibilities of a journalist?6.How do you assess news reporting in the Chinese massmedia?

Para.2A BBC sound man held up a Nigerian execution for half an hour while he adjusted his sound equipment一名BBC音响师在调试音响设备时让一个尼日利亚死刑犯的行刑拖延了半个小时。
Para.3It’s a tricky ethical question, not just a matter of how brave anyone is feeling at the time.这不是看一个人在当时有多勇敢的事，而是两难的道德问题。
Para.4“Our professional ethic enjoins us to stay uncommitted and report the facts; and, if we have to have guidelines, that’s probably as good a one as any”我们的职业道德要求我们以中立的态度报道事实。
如果我们需要指导方针的话，那么这可能就是最好的了。
Certainly some of the seediest of journalists, whether we’re talking about the Middle East or Northern Ireland, are those who pile on one set of adjectives—squalid, butchering, oppressive—for terrorism of whose aims they disapprove, and quite another set—committed, dedicated, idealistic—for the same thing done by those they like.当然，无论谈到中东还是北爱问题时，总有这样一些最龌龊的记者：当他们不赞成对某些目标实施恐怖行动时，他们就用一堆这样的形容词－－卑鄙的、残忍的、暴虐的－－来形容这些实施恐怖行为的人；而当实施这些恐怖行动的人是他们喜欢的人时，他们就用另一类形容词来描述同样的活动－－坚定的、献身的、有理想的。
Para. 5But it leaves out a lot. “My complaint against journalists,” a friend of mine once said, “is not that they behave badly in the course of duty, but their inability to recoil into a human being when it’s over.”但这并未澄清问题。
我的一位朋友曾经说过，“我对新闻记者不满，不是因为他们在履行职责时行为不端，而是他们在履行完职责后不能恢复人性。
”Para. 6To stay out of the fight, to write down what’s going on, to treat equally with both sides, as a doctor will stitch up soldiers in either uniform or a lawyer argue for either side—that is supposed to be our code; and when it comes to the crunch, we probably do better trying to stick to that, than rushing off on individual impulse.不参与其中、记录所发生的事情、平等对待当事双方，这应该是我们的行为准则，就象医生会为战士缝合伤口，无论其着何方军装，律师可以为任何一方辩护一样。
在关键时刻，坚持这一准则比意气用事要好。
Para. 7But is there not a point in any profession where you are forced back against the wall as a human being, where a doctor should hand Jack the Ripper over to the police and a lawyer refuse to suppress the bloodstained evidence that proves his client a torturer?但任何职业都有这样的时刻：你得在人性与职业道德之间作出选择。
