Lesson 4 the Trial That Rocked the World1. "Don't worry, son, we'll show them a few tricks."2. The case had erupted round my head...3. ... no one, least of all I, anticipated that my case would snowball into one of the most famous trials in U. S. History.4. "That's one hell of a jury!"5. "Today it is the teachers, "he continued, "and tomorrow the magazines, the books, the newspapers.6. "There is some doubt about that," Darrow snorted.7. ... accused Bryan of calling for a duel to the death between science and religion.8. Spectators paid to gaze at it and ponder whether they might be related.9. Now Darrow sprang his trump card by calling Bryan as a witness for the defense.10. My heart went out to the old warrior as spectator s pushed by him to shake Darrow's hand.1. “Don’t worry, young man, we have some clever and unexpected tactics and we will surprise them in the trial.”2. The case had come down upon me unexpectedly and violently;3. I was the last one to expect that my case would become one of the most famous trials in U.S. History.4. The jury is a completely inappropriate.5. Today the teachers are put on trial because they teach scientific theory; soon the newspapers and magazines will not be allowed to spread knowledge of science.6. “It is doubtful whether man has reasoning power,” said Darrow sarcastically and scornfully.7. ... accused Bryan of demanding that a life or death struggle be fought between science and religion.8. People had to pay in order to have a look at the ape and to consider carefully whether apes and humans could have a common ancestry.9. Darrow surprised everyone by asking for Bryan as a witness for Scopes which was a brilliant idea.10. I felt sorry for Bryan as the spectators rushed past him to congratulate Darrow.Unit 6 Mark Twain --- Mirror of America1. Mark Twain is known to most Americans as the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Huck Finn is noted for his simple and pleasant journey through his boyhood which seems eternal and Tom Sawyer is famous for his free roam of the country and his adventure in one summer which seems never to end.2. His work on the boat made it possible for him to meet a large variety of people. It is a world of all types of characters.3. All would reappear in his books, written in the colorful language that he seemed to be able to remember and record as accurately as a phonograph.4. Steamboat decks were filled with people of pioneering spirit and also lawless people or social outcasts such as hustlers, gamblers and thugs.5. He went west to Nevada by a horse-pulled public vehicle, following the flow of people in the gold and silver rush.6. Mark Twain began to work hard as a newspaper reporter and humorist to become well-known locally.7. Those who came pioneering out west were energetic, courageous and reckless people, because those who stayed at home were the slow, dull and lazy people.8. That’s typical of California.9. If we relaxed, rested or stayed away from all this crazy struggle for success occasionally and kept the daring and enterprising spirit, we would be able to remain strong and healthy and continue to produce great thinkers.10. At the end of his life, he lost the last bit of his positive view of man and the world.Unit 9 “A More Perfect Union”The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished.P1: After heated debate and compromises, the Constitution was finally adopted by the Constitutional Convention and 39 out of 55 delegates signed the document. But the “three-fifths” clause and the twenty years allowed for the slave trade showed the slave issue was not solved, so the process of forming a more perfect union did not end with the enforcement of the Constitution.But it also comes from my own story.P2: My personal background and my success story, rising from rags to riches, also teaches me the importance of unity.But it is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than the sum of its part-that out of many, we are truly one.P3: I am deeply ingrained, through my experience in the United States, with the idea that America is not a total of adding everything together but is the product of fusion, of sharing the same creed.Throughout the first year of this campaign, against all predictions to the contrary, we saw how hungry the American people were for this message of unity.P4: In spite of all announcements that America was not ready for a black president, that I would fail in the campaign, we gained momentum in the first year of the campaign, which showed that the American people demanded unity and change. Despite the temptation to view my candidacy through a purely racial lens, we won commanding victories in states with some of the whitest populations in the country.P5: People were encouraged to judge me from the perspective of a black candidate, raising the question of whether the United State would fare better with a black president. However, we won great victories even in some of the more conservative states, with stronger racial bias.We saw racial tensions bubble to the surface during the week before the South Carolina primary.P6: The week before the Democrats were to select their delegates to the national convention in South Carolina, attacks on me, on blacks became more frequent, more intense.On one end of the spectrum, we’ve heard the implication that my candidacy is somehow an exercise in affirmative action; that it’s based solely on desire of wide-eyed liberals to purchase racial reconciliation on the cheap.P7: At one end of the entire range of opinion, there are people who say that I decided to run because I wanted to show black and white should have equal opportunity and I wanted to play on the desires of naïve liberals to achieve racial harmony without making great effort.I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.P8: It is impossible for me to cast him off just as it is impossible for me to repudiate the black community.Unit 1 Pub Talk and the King's English1. And it is an activity only of humans. (para 1)并且它是人类特有的一种活动。

To tell how powerful/influential these people are, we could make a contrast between America’s schools and America’s universities, which are quite beyond the control or command of those officials.2．“The University should be built upon the complete freedom of the human thought.Because in this university, we are free to seek after truth and stick to it; and we are secure to tolerate any error as long as we are allowed to fight against it with the power of reason.”3．America’s universities and professors in charge of these institutions stress that students should not only develop the habit of independent thinking, but also strive to broaden their mind, delve into their textbooks, and have a precise command of knowledge.4．These days freshman students to America’s research/best universities are not always up to the admission standard. To maintain the education quality, our universities have to enroll large numbers of foreign students with excellent educational background .5．We have to allow foreign students to enter our universities so as to solve the problem caused by public schools’ failure in education. It is just like that we have to allow foreign capital to come into our county so as to solve the problem of negative trade balance. These solutions can not work forever.1. As a Puerto Rican girl brought up in US, I have a strong desire to be accepted as a native, and I feel quite angry about people’s bias against me, cau sed by my Hispanic appearance.2. As a girl I was brought up under constant watch of my parents, who believe my chastity/virginity and proper behavior/decency are something that are equal/equivalent / so much related to our family reputation.3. In her native place, a Hispanic girl is kept safe by her big family and their religion. If she was assaulted/offended/insulted by a man, the offender would surely getpunished.4. My pro friends are surprised to find that even today some people, including those who are well educated, still have bias against people from a different cultural background.5. In his eyes, I was simply a typical Latin girl of humble origins, just one of the stereotyped images in his prejudiced mind.1.It was a joke; we all regarded ourselves as smart college freshmen, and thoughtthat in the world we could get everything as long as we asked.2.Back in the 17th century, Spinoza thought that although ambition and lust werenot classified as diseases, they could make people go crazy and insane.3.Most of us have to face the great success our friends (or enemies) achieved, whoused to start their career at the same time as we did, but now they are much more successful than we are.4.In addition to all these external criteria which are used to measure success, there isanother thing which you hate most, that is, your internal voice. This voice kept reminding you that how successful you could have been and how miserable you are now, because you failed to meet your goals.5.The world is also full of people who are so ambitious, so exhausted by work andoverwork that the things they do on the way to success are of no value at all. For them, life is a long journey which only promises future reward. Y ou are doing this or that which you really don’t like to do only because you believe that you will be rewarded and get what you want someday in future.1.From the very beginning of the world, God said that work was bad, shameful,oppressive and life-long suffering. If Adam and Eve had not sinned ，human beings would have enjoyed great glory and could have lived in the paradise joyfully and permanently without having to work.2.The Protestant work ethic was formed in the instructions of ML and JC. This workethic regards work as a sacred and holy mission, and to accomplish this mission, the worker cooperates with God to change our world.3. Finally, men and women emphasize more on realizing their own personal values. This expectation seems natural and even meaningful but sometimes people who expect too much of themselves will become self-centered and their requirements will never be satisfied. As a result, they will be isolated from the rest of the world and livea vacant and lonely life.4. Americans, who always complain about their job, should talk with those jobless young people living in the poor area, who with whose painful experience, know far better than anyone else how important and respectable it is to have a job.。
