His whole idea at first was to put distance between himself and General Zaroff. He had plunged along, spurred on by a sharp feeling of panic. He couldn’t think clearly an d wisely when the gates were shut with a loud sound. At first the only thing he wanted to do was to get as far away as possible from Zaroff. He had moved quickly, driven by a feeling of extreme fear.But now he had got a grip on himself, had stopped, and was taking stock of himself and the situation. Now he calmed down, had stopped the blind running for life, and was making an appraisal of himself and the situation.He executed a series of intricate loops; he doubled on his trail again and again. He moved round and round many times and after that he covered the same trail repeatedly so as to confuse Zaroff. Rainsford’s impulse was to hurl himself down like a panther, but he saw that the general’s r ight hand held something metallic—a small automatic pistol. Rainsford’s first reaction was to jump upon General Zaroff and take his chances, but then he was checked by the sight of the pistol in the general’s right hand.Rainsford’s second thought was even more terrible. It sent a shudder of cold horror through his whole being. After a second thought, Rainsford realized the situation was not what he had thought. And it made him tremble all over.At daybreak Rainsford was awakened by a sound that made him know that he had new things to learn about fear.At sunrise Rainsford was waken up by the baying of the hounds that made him feel more frightened than before.Extension1.

UNIT12你为何如此聪明?卡伦·赖特科学家们正在试图寻找可能管理着智力的“聪明”基因。
但是智力基因能被用来测定遗传的智商吗?与生俱来的基因在多大程度上与智商有关系?下面的文章将告诉我们在这个问题上的最新研究。
这是经济和社会成功最为重要的预测者之一。
它帮助决定你在哪儿工作,在哪儿生活,和谁结婚,是否会离婚,是否会未婚生子,是否会有牢狱之灾。
它可以被非常精确地测算,一生中很少变化。
它受你的基因的重大影响。
真是如此吗?当讨论说的是人类智能时,你不必太费力就能够找到论据。
自从英国心理学家查尔斯·斯皮尔曼提出一种单个的综合智力管理着认知行为的许多方面的主张,一个世纪以来,科学家们和社会已对智力进行了长期而不断的争论:它是什么,作用是什么,谁拥有它,如何改进它,如何测算它,以及如何最好地解释和利用测算方式。
最近,由1994年出版的书《钟形曲线》所引发的争议,再次引起了人们对先天禀性和后天培育这个问题的争论:智力是可训练的还是遗传不变的?人类的思想是天生的还是创造出来的?经过几十年的研究,绝大多数智力科学家的结论是,两者兼而有之,分量大致均等。
因此,某处某人会开始寻找“聪明”基因,也许是不可避免的,。
那个“某人”就是罗伯特·普洛明,一个从事智力研究已有25年之久的有经验的专家,他目前在伦敦的精神病学学院工作。
去年,普洛明公开了一个基因与高智商相联系的第一个证据。
今年,他又宣布发现了三个聪明基因的位置。
在此后的几个月里,他期望发现至少两打最为重要的智力遗传决定因素。
他的工作已经引起了和认知器管打交道的DNA医生的想象――以及不安。
"我知道,没有别的人会发疯,以至来做这件事情,”他说。
普洛明的探索,是行为遗传学领域中最为大胆的探索之一。
行为遗传学是一门致力于发现影响人类行为的遗传因素的学科。
其中一项研究是通过比较双胞胎儿一起喂养和分开喂养的情况,来发现影响人类行为的遗传因素。
开放英语3(7-12单元译文)讲解
英语II(1)unit7-unit12部分译文unit7译文Activity2约翰·普雷斯顿住在伦敦北部的公寓里。
他妻子在四年前不幸去世,在此之后为了与他女儿的家更近些,他便搬到那里,也因为随着他年纪的增大,他宽敞的带花园的独居有太多的活儿需要他做。
在公寓里住要容易得多,因为物业代理会处理好一切要做的事情。
他们负责修理房顶和换水槽,但此刻,约翰并不满意,因为窗框需要油漆,公园无人管理。
物业代理两年前已经油了窗框,但油漆匠干的不是太好,因此它们需要重新油漆了。
约翰一年支付服务费和维修费超过一千五百英镑,因此他认为不值,因为房子看起来破旧,很多地方需要修理。
另一方面,约翰的女儿琼和她的丈夫皮特不得不亲自做所有的事或找建筑工人去做。
他们住在一幢半独立式的房子,比约翰的家离伦敦市中心还要远。
但他们很亲近,仍旧经常去看他。
他们住在郊区,那里有一个美丽的花园,他们的还在可以在那儿玩耍。
为了有更多的空间,他们四年前搬迁到那里。
唯一的不足之处是琼的丈夫必须每天往来于家和伦敦市中心,但是,总的来说,他们对这个决定是满意的。
他们刚买下那幢房子时,有很多地方需要收拾,现在仍是这样。
琼说,“我们要做的事情列成单子有你的胳膊那么长——屋顶需要修补,烟囱需要修理,卧室需要装饰,还应替换暖房破了的窗玻璃。
我们需要安装大门和修路——当你来我家,你会觉得很糟糕。
”Activity11.阿卡西亚格拉夫街24号的居民对公寓条件不满意,因此上周约翰?普雷斯顿召开会议进行讨论。
在会上约翰建议成立居民委员会,对房东代理的无所作为,大家既担心又气愤,所以,他们都同意成立居民委员会。
他们选举约翰为委员会主席。
许多居民说,他们憎恶再给房东代理打电话,向他们抱怨公寓的状况。
尽管房东代理有责任管理公寓,但是他们认为房东代理做得不够。
因此居民要求约翰写信给房东代理,说明他们对公寓管理很失望。
下期付费应该在月底,但是,他们一致决定直到房东代理制定出令人满意的改善计划,他们才付服务费。

开放英语3课文译文
《开放英语3》课文译文Unit 13Activity 1英国的学校体系英国的孩子必须从五岁起开始上学,要上十一年学。
他们两三岁大的时候有时候上幼儿园,但是没有硬性要求。
他们上的第一个学校叫小学,在这里孩子们学习一系列的基本课程,如,阅读,写作和数学。
英国设有国家课程标准,所有公立学校必须按此施教,但对私立学校没有这样的硬性要求。
大多数孩子都上公立学校,因为那儿他们的父母不用付学费。
大约6%的孩子上私立学校,在这里他们的父母需要付学费,而且学费会很贵。
十一岁的时候,大多数孩子要换学校,去上中学。
他们必须在中学里呆五年——英国的义务教育一直到十六岁。
在许多中学,孩子们在前五年都必须穿校服,但是在最后两年经常不作要求。
十六岁的时候,孩子们要参加不同课程的一系列考试,这次考试叫做中学生毕业考试(GCSE)。
之后他们可以在学校里再呆上两到三年,参加高级考试(A-levels)。
也可以就此离校,比如说,他们可以离开学校去上继续教育学院,然后参加高级考试或者职业资格考试。
他们也可以离开学校去找工作。
英国超过20%的学生接受高等教育(综合大学或专科学院)并获得学位或证书,这个数字还在上升,不久将会达到30-40%。
因为英语仍然是非常重要的世界语言,很多外国学生都想到英国上大学。
他们认为,好的英语有助于他们找到比较好的工作,使他们的事业更加成功。
不但如此,很多学生还认为,他们会受益于西方大学里的思想。
因此,许多继续教育学院和综合大学都为外国学生提供了基础课程,为他们在英国的大学里学习做好准备。
Activity 13新同学们,大家好!这是学生会委员会的通知。
我们在大学里现在至少已经一年了,所以我们可以给你们一些好的建议。
不要担心——我们还记得我们刚来时犯了很多错误的情形,也没有忘记当初感到有一点害怕的样子。
首先,你们都知道,不再有助学金。
如果从政府那里借钱,请记着,那像所有的贷款一样,是必须要偿还的。
在第一周就把所有的钱花光不是明智之举。

)1. When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My motherdidn't use to workduring the week, but she worked in the post office near our house on Saturdays, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were issued.On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very excited because Englandwere playing West Germany in the final. When we were having lunch, my mother told us to go to the postoffice straightaway after the match if England won, but she didn't tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother wentback to work as usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although shewasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio.England won 4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in, my mother was standingbehind the counter.

MAPPING THE FUTUREAt Beijing's new Urban Planning Exhibition Centre a computerised city planning map is creating greatinterest.Visitors are crowding around it to locate their neighbourhoods and to learn about the changes that areoccurring. Why? Because during the last decade the government and the local authority have beenpushing forward urban development at great speed. Old and ugly factories, even whole areas arebeing demolished to make way for new skyscrapers, blocks of flats and shopping malls.Urban planning officials say, "We are trying to be more open, we want to get more feedback from thepublic. This computerised map is real progress." In fact, the Centre is the first of itskind in the city.Residents are sharing with the government the vision of making a new city.The main attraction is a large-scale model of the city – about half the size of a tennis court - visitorscan even see the traffic lights and the bridges in the city.A guide, who comes from the Beijing suburbs, points out Beijing's landmarks to the visitors,for example,the Forbidden City and the 2008 Olympic Games complex. People can study the new underground extension and see where the new underground stations are.Visitors come to the Centre for a variety of reasons. One man, in his 70s, is planning to spend fivemonths in Canada with his daughter later in the year – he wants to know if his flat will still be therewhen he gets back.Good news! He discovers that his area is designated a 'conservation area'. The beautiful old statues,fountains and pavement cafés in his area will stay.They are even making this attractive part of the city into a pedestrianised area – no more traffic!However, not everyone is pleased with the new centre.One young couple, from the city's emerging professional middle classes, are trying to choose the bestplace to buy a flat. They feel that the Centre still does not give enough information for them to makea good investment decision.1). Which of the following best describes the writer's main point in the first paragraph?A. Beijing's planning map interests people a lot because of the changes being made in thecity.B. A computerized city planning map is shown in Beijing's new Urban Planning ExhibitionCentre.C.

Factories正确答案:E 满分:2 得分:23). Which of the following best states the main idea of the third paragraph?A. The large-scale model of the city is about half the size of a tennis court.B. The main attraction is a big model and people can see how they will be affected.C. Beijing's landmarks are the Forbidden City and the 2008 Olympic Games Complex.D. More underground stations will be built.正确答案:C 满分:2 得分:24). Which of the following illustrates the main idea of the fourth paragraph?A. The old man in his 70s is happy to know his flat will not be demolished.B. Visitors who come to the centre for a variety of reasons are all happy.C. The young couple feels dissatisfied with the Centre.D. Some people feel happy and others don't feel happy because they don't get enoughinformation.正确答案:E 满分:2 得分:05).

Officials are being more open and residents are giving feedback.C. The newly-planned city map reveals the rapid changes in Beijing.D. Visitors come to the centre for various reasons.正确答案:D 满分:2 得分:03. We are all in a rush. We are hurrying here and there. The pressure of time characterizeslife today.People like living at a breakneck speed. Fast-food restaurants, one minute bedtime stories, microwaveovens, quick freezers, instant noodles(面条), automatic dial buttons on the telephone, the remote controlof a television, e-mails, the Internet, all these have caused a speed-up in the pace of people's life. Thesedays it is possible to drive, eat, listen to the radio, watch a TV show or talk on the phone all at once, if youdare. Not long ago, for most people, listening to the radio was a single-task activity. Now it is rare for aperson to listen to the radio and do nothing else. Even television has lost its command of our attention.In so many houses the TV just stays on, like a noisy light, while the life of the busyfamily passes backand forth in front of it.In the technology-driven Western world, the increasing wealth and the increasing education bring asense of tension about time. People believe that they have little time. They wish they had 48 hours aday. American culture views time as a thing to be kept and saved. Timesaving is a subject often talkedabout and discussed. Books with such titles as Streamlining Your Life; Take Your Time; More Hoursin My Day are always best sellers. People have talked and wanted many ways to “save time”. But whatdoes this concept mean? Does timesaving mean getting more done? If so, does talking on a mobilephone at the beach save time or waste it? If you can choose between a 30 minute train ride, duringwhich you can read and a 20 minute drive, during which you cannot read, does this drive save tenminutes? Does it make sense to say driving saves ten minutes from your travel budget while removingten minutes from your reading budget?These questions have no answer. They depend on a concept that is ill formed: the very idea oftimesaving. Some of us say we want to save time when really we just want to do more and faster. Itmight be simplest to recognize that there is time and we make choices about how to spend it, how tospare it, how to use it and how to fill it.Time is not a thing we have lost. It is not a thing we ever had. It is what we live in. 1). According to the passage, what characterizes life today is that we ____________.A. are all in a rushB. live at a breakneck speedC. save a lot of timeD. feel time is pressing正确答案:E 满分:2 得分:02).

Goingback to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. Inthose days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watchtelevision.Several modern studies, besides, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average thanthinner people. In fact, some research work, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers,reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on average. Studies show that thin people aremore active than fat people. A study by the research group at Standford University School of Medicinefound the following fact: the more the man ran, the greater body fat he lost.
