Unit 2 English around the world李仕才***阅读理解People who possess high selfesteem are able to commit better and produce a greater bond in relationships with others. Dr. Douglas feels that most people do not value themselves， but with love and selfrespect anyone can be above normality and grasp success with the family， the office， or others.We have become too reliant on intelligence， beauty， and money for our own self esteem. The loss of esteem reduces the will and ability to set and reach goals. In a series of reading Douglas teaches how to avoid negative statements， how to change them into selffacing behavior， and how to take charge of your mental attitude. Where other motivational and selfhelp work stops with the theoretical plan for success， Douglas takes everyday examples and puts them into his books. From raising children who believe in themselves to using selfesteem to help bridge the gap in the workplace， he gives readers concrete solutions to the problems that might ruin their interpersonal relations.Selfesteem building comes from filling your thoughts with positive affirmations（肯定） and learning to react to failures with motivation instead of selfdestruction. These lessons are valuable for anyone who feels that life is even slightly out of control. People who feel they have adequate esteem can learn to use it to make their success grander， faster， and more beneficial for others. Douglas approaches this process of selfdevelopment as a means of more than creating good things for the individual but also for setting up keys for influencing good things for others.For more than thirty years， Dr. Douglas has addressed more than two million people on topics from time management to speaking effectively to raising drugfree children. He is the author of fifteen books， including How to Make a Habit of Succeeding.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了自尊心强的优势以及如何培养自尊。

The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl，yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards.When somebody asks her，“How do you hear？” She responds，“How do you hear？Is it only with your ears？” For Glennie，and for us too，listening is not only hearing，but is understanding.We need to listen to what is said and unsaid，and also how it is said.It’s important to hear what people say accurately.As Mark Twain said，“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug(萤火虫)．”If you miss something or you’re not sure you’ve heard accurately，ask the speakers.At this point you’re not evaluating what they say，but just looking for accuracy and understanding.Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don’t say.Why are they saying this now，instead of sooner or later？Why are they emphasizing these points，instead of something else?Listen to how it is said.People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say.While going through the next points，think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss，and see if any of these signals might come up.First，voices.When others speak，notice changes in their volume，pace，and tone.Second，body language.Notice gestures，eye contact，and facial expressions.Do these sync what they are saying，or do they tell a different story？Third，emotions.What is the person’s true feeling？Now you might not know for sure，but be considerate，open to understanding，and ask thoughtful questions.【解题导语】本文讲述了聆听的内涵。

Before I studied psychology，I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred.While I was right about that，I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make p eople laugh other than the funny part of a joke.When someone laughs at a joke，there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are，the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt，and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets，everyone laughed their heads off.The main reason why those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angrytowards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly.The joke wasn’t only funny，but it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at thosepedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel，and the more it includes otherpsychological factors，the more the person will like it.For example，if you envy one of your friends，and someone tells a joke that is funny and，at the same time，makes your friend seem stupid，then you will probably laugh at it louder than ifyou weren’t jealous of him.In short，we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychologicalfactors involved in the joke.I strongly discourage you from making fun of anyoneor belittling someone to make someone else laugh.All I want to explain is that ifyour joke supports a person’s emotions，he will certainly like it a lot.【解题导语】本文主要分析了人们笑的原因。

Unit 2 English around the world***阅读理解The first potatoes were grown by the Incas of South America, more than 400 years ago. Their descendants(后代) in Ecuador and Chile continue to grow the vegetable as high as 14，000 feet up in the Andes Mountains. (That’s higher than any other food will grow.) Early Spanish and English explorers shipped potatoes to Europe, and they found their way to North America in the early 1600s.People eat potatoes in many ways—baked, mashed, and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are eaten in the form of French fries. One fastfood chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants，it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one of these tests and the potato is rejected. To start with, only Russet Burbank potatoes are used. These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds, which can have as much as 80 percent water. Once cut into “shoestrings” shapes，the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils, sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants.Before shipping，every shoestring is measured. Forty percent of a batch must be between two and three inches long. Another 40 percent has to be over three inches. What about the 20 percent that are left in the batch? Well, a few short fries in a bag are okay，it seems.So，now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”．【解题导语】本文介绍了土豆被引进美国的历史及炸薯条在美国食物产业中举足轻重的地位。

Unit 2 English around the world李仕才一、阅读理解AMy daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. “Girls rule, boys drool.”But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon（三项全能）.On Saturday, with a thund erstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, a nd we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on, sweet baby.1.Kelly is nervous when ________.A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leaderC. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that______.A. the race began in the early morningB. Kelly was eager for her turn in the raceC. the whole family gave Kelly supportD. her brother’s birthday party was delayed.3.In the ending paragraphs the author “felt like I won that day” becauseKelly________.A. Took part in the sportB. Expressed love to herC. Won the gold medalD. Changed completely4.What kind of person do you think Kelly is?A. Timid and determinedB. Cute and confidentC. Fearful and energeticD. Sociable and brave【文章大意】本文讲述了“我”的女儿Kelly是个慢热型的人，和陌生人在一起她会很紧张很害羞，看到女儿赢得奖牌是作为父母最大的荣耀。

Unit 2 English around the world李仕才【阅读理解】Restaurant chefs, home cooks, and foodies — people who love good food — often say that we eat with all of our senses.First, we use our sense of sight to appreciate how a meal is presented, either on a dinner plate or a dining table. Our sense of touch can also be important when preparing or sharing food.Next, with our sense of smell, we breathe in the mouth-watering aromas (香味) rising up from the meal. Finally, we enjoy the food with our sense of taste.But what about our sense of hearing? Does sound also affect our dining experience?A new report answers, “yes, it does. ”That answer comes from researchers at Brigham Young University in the United States. They found that hearing is important in the eating experience.Hearing is often called “the forgotten food sense, ” says Ryan Elder, “if people notice the sound the food makes as they eat it, they might eat less. ”On the other hand, watching loud television or listening to loud music while eating can hide such noises. And this could lead to overeating.The researchers admit that the effects may not seem like much at one meal. But over a week, a month, or a year, all that food can really add up.But besides not overeating, there is another upside.Hearing the noises of your meal as you eat, could help you to be more mindful of the experience and perhaps help you to enjoy it more.【文章大意】本文告诉人们享用食物时, 会用到五种感觉: 视觉、触觉、听觉、嗅觉和味觉; 并着重说明了听觉对人们进食量的影响。

If you want a little extra security against thieves stealing your bicycle, designer Dennis Siegel has designed a solution. The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement.“The RFID Bikealarm is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks because it greatly extends the range of protection with only a few components, ” Siegel explains on his website. “It is low-cost, durable and easy to use. ”The Bikealarm was designed as part of Siegel’s Bachelor’s degree thesis at the University of the Arts Bremen in Germany. The device will scare off any would-be thief the moment he begins to steal the bicycle to which it is attached. It is able to continuously sense the environment to distinguish between specific events, for instance a passing tram/car and a serious theft.Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sensed movement, but wasn’t initially sure how it would be best attached to a bicycle. “I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat because it allows for comfortable interaction and the position is less obvious as it looks like a small repair kit, ” he says.Siegel chose to use RFID technology rather than Bluetooth to keep the costs down. Siegel explains that the most difficult aspect of creating the alarm was to get the electronic circuit down to a small enough size.The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours and lasts for a few days with normal use. As the Bikealarm is only at development stage, Siegel hasn’t signed any agreements to put it on the market.【文章大意】文章介绍了一种新型的防止自行车被盗的报警装置。

A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisoning. In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it. Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped in the throat. The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal thrusts(腹部按压), which you can do by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person. Put your arms around the victim’s waist. Close one hand to form a ball. Place it over the upper part of the stomach, below the ribs. Place the other hand on top. Then push forcefully inward and upward. Repeat the abdominal thrusts until the object is expelled from the mouth. For someone who is pregnant or very fat, place your hands a little higher than with normal abdominal thrusts.Red Cross experts say taking these steps can save many lives. But they also warn that abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned. They say use of the method could delay other ways to re-start breathing in the victim. Abdominal thrusts should be used only in cases where a near-drowning victim is choking on an object.To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or organization like a Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information. There may be training classes offered in your area.1. According to the first paragraph, which of the following is NOT the common cause of accidental poisonings?A. A harmful medicineB. A cleaning liquidC. Poisonous insectsD. Dangerous pesticide(杀虫剂)2. The underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_________ ”.A. coming outB. taking upC. going awayD. getting down3. Why abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned?A. Because people are unwilling to attempt rescue effortsB. Because it is hard to performC. Because it is no need to do soD. Because it could hold up other ways to re-start breathing in the victim4. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?A. To promote medical researchB. To share some knowledge about first aidC. To show how to perform abdominal thrustsC.To help people deal with accidental poisoning【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了意外中毒的主要原因及急救方法。

(2018·东北三校模拟)We were ordinary people taking the bus every day that summer.During the early morning rides，we sat sleepily on our seats.One of the passengers was a small grey man to the center for senior citizens.He walked with a stoop(驼背) and a sad look on his face.We paid little attention to him.Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled to us before sitting down.The driver nodded politely，the rest of us being silent.The next day，the old man boarded the bus energetically，smiled and said loud，“Good morning！”Some of us looked up，amazed，and murmured“Good morning”．The following weeks we were more surprised.Our friend was dressed in a nice old suit with the thin hair carefully combed.He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand.The driver smilingly asked，“Have you got yourself a girlfriend？”He nodded shyly，“She lives at the center.”The other passengers whistled and clapped at him.Charlie bowed before sitting down.Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower.Some regular passengers began bringing him flowers for his bunch.Everyone smiled and joked about it.But one morning he didn’t turn up.When he wasn’t there the following days，we started wondering if he was sick or...We stopped at the center for senior citizens.The staff told us he was fine，but he hadn’t been coming that week.One of his very close friends had died at the weekend.They expected him back on Monday.How silent we were on the rest of the way to work!The next Monday he was waiting at the stop，stooping a bit more and a bit more grey.Inside the bus was a silence，all of us sitting with our eyes filled with tears and wild flowers in our hands.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。
