Unit 2Men V.S. (against) Women男女有别PreviewYou were once involved in an intimate relationship with the opposite sex; if not, just think about your parents or other couples you are familiar with. Smart as you are, you may have noticed that no relationship can avoid frustration or conflict, no matter how hard the two involved try to understand and compromise. Given their diverse patterns of feeling, communicating, and responding, there is reason to believe that men and women belong to different species (though they are both human beings), and then everything can be explained.Text(Let)Men Go to Their Caves and Women (go to their) Talk1男女顺其自然John Gray[1] One of the biggest differences between men and women is how they cope with (deal with) stress. Men become increasingly focused and withdrawn while women become increasingly overwhelmed (defeated) and emotionally involved. At these times (At these moments), a man's needs for feeling good (良好的感觉) are different from a woman's (needs). He feels better by solving problems while she feels better by talking about problems. Not understanding and accepting these differences creates (leads to) unnecessary friction (conflict) in our relationships (marriages). Let's look at a common (常见的) example.[2] When Tom comes home, he wants to relax and unwind (=relaxed) by quietly reading the news. He is stressed (bothered) by the unsolved problems of his day and finds relief (解脱->relieve) through forgetting them.[3] His wife, Mary, also wants to relax from her stressful day. She, however, wants to find (relieve->) relief by talking about the problems of her day. The tension slowly building (strenthening累积) between them gradually becomes resentment (hatred).[4] Solving this problem for Tom and Mary depends not on how much they loved each other but on how much they understood the opposite sex. Without knowing that women really do need to talk about problems to feel better, Tom would continue to think Mary talked too much and resist listening to her. Without knowing that Tom was reading the news to feel better, Mary would feel ignored and neglected. She would persist in trying to get (make) him to talk when he didn't want to.Coping with stress on Mars2 and Venus3[5] When a Martian (火星人) gets (becomes) upset he never talks about what is bothering him. He would never burden (vt. bother) another Martian with his problem unless his friend's assistance (help) was necessary to solve the problem. Instead (On the contray) he becomes very quiet and goes to his private cave4(corner) to think about his problem, mulling it over to find a (to solve a problem<->to answer a question) solution. When he has found a solution, he feels much better and comes out of his cave.[6] If he can't find a solution to forget his problems, like (such as) reading the news or playing a game. By disengaging (release) his mind (brain) from the problems of his day, gradually he can relax. If his stress is really great it takes (needs) getting involved with something even more challenging, like (such as) racing (drving) his car, (compete->) competing in acontest, or climbing a mountain.[7] When a Venusian (woman) becomes upset (nervous) or is stressed by her day, to find relief, she seeks out (find) someone she trusts and then talks in great detail about the problems of her day. When Venusians (women) share feelings of being overwhelmed, they suddenly feel better. This is the Venusian (woman) way.Finding relief in the cave.[8] When a man is stressed he will withdraw into the cave of his mind (心灵的空间/时间：独处的时刻) and focus on solving a problem. He generally (usually) picks (choose) the most urgent problem or the most difficult. He becomes so focused (absorbed) on solving this one problem that he temporarily loses awareness of everything else. Other problems and responsibilities fade into the background (退到幕后).[9] At such times (at such moments), he becomes increasingly distant, forgetful, unresponsive, and preoccupied in his relationships. His full awareness (conscience) is not present because he is mulling (thinking) over his problem, hoping to find a solution. The more stressed he is, the more gripped (occupied聚精会神) by the problem he will be. At such times he is incapable of giving a woman the attention and feeling that she normally (usually) receives and certainly deserves. If, however, he can find a solution, instantly (immediately/ at once) he will feel much better and come out of his cave; suddenly he is available (free) for being in a relationship again.[10] However, if he cannot find a solution to his problem, then he remains (stick: n./vi.) stuck (cornered) in the cave. To get (free) unstuck (released) he is drawn to solving little problems, like (such as) reading the news, watching TV, driving his car, doing physical exercise, watching a football game, playing basketball, and (so on and) so forth. Any challenging activity that (initiate->) initially (=previously) requires only 5 percent of his mind (mental energy脑力) can assist (help) him in forgetting his problems and becoming unstuck. Then the next day he can redirect his focus to his problem with greater success (=more successfully). [be at sb.’s wit’s end]Finding relief through talking[11] When a woman is stressed she instinctively feels a need to talk about her feelings and all the possible problems that are associated with her feelings. When she begins talking she does not (priority->) prioritize the significance of any problem. If she is upset, then she is upset about it all, (no mater it is) big and small. She is not (medium) immediately concerned with (=worry about sth./ sb.) finding solutions to her problems but rather seeks relief by expressing herself and being understood. By randomly talking about her problems, she becomes less upset (nervous).[12] As a man under stress tends to (likely) focus on one problem and forget others, a woman under stress tends to expand and become overwhelmed (defeated) by all problems. By talking about all possible problems without focusing on problem solving she feels better. Through exploring her feelings in this process (过程) she gains (gets) a greater awareness (understanding) of what is really bothering her, and then suddenly she is no longer (not anymore不再) so overwhelmed.[13] To feel better, women talk about past problems, future problems, potential problems, evenwomen operate (live).self (the right to be a woman)[14] When a woman is overwhelmed (defeated) she finds relief through talking in great detail about her various problems. Gradually, if she feels she is being heard, her stress disappears. After talking about one topic she will pause and then move on to the next. In this way she continues toexpand talking about problems, worries, disappointments, and (frustrate->) frustrations. These topics need not be in any order and tend to be logically unrelated. If she feels she is not being understood, her awareness (knowledge) may expand even further, and she may become upset about more problems.[15] Just as a man who is stuck in the cave needs little problems to distract him, a woman who doesn't feel heard will need to talk about other problems that are less immediate (=urgent) to feel relief. To forget her own painful feelings she may become emotionally involved in the problems of others. In addition (Besides/ Furthermore) she may find relief through discussing the problems of her friends, talking about her problems or others' problems, talking is a natural and healthy Venusian reaction (response) to stress.Notes1. This text is excerpted (cited/ adapted) from Men are from Mars, Women are from V enus (published in May 1992), which is a book by John Gray offering (giving) many suggestions for improving husband-wife relationships by understanding style and emotional needs of the opposite gender. The book, as suggested by the title, asserts (confirm) the notion (idea/ concept) that men and women are as different as beings from other planets. Gray adopts (采用) this metaphor (暗喻) as the central theme (主题) of all his books and seminars (small lectures), likening men and women to the classical Roman god Mars and goddess Venus as ideal types.2. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Solar System. The planet is named after Mars, the Roman god of war (战神). It is also referred (called) to as the "Red Planet" because of its reddish (light red微红) appearance.3. Venus is the second-closest planet to the Sun. The planet is named after Venus, the Roman goddess of love (爱神).4. (hole) cave: it metaphorically refers to a state of situation or mind when men, under stress (压力), withdraw until they find a solution to the problem. John Gray refers to this as "retreating into their cave." In some cases they may (literate<->illiterate问文盲) literally retreat, for example, to the garage (车库/ 汽车修理厂) or spend time with friends. this is a"time-out" (隐退的时间themselves from the problems so their brains can focus on something else.5. To expect otherwise is to deny a woman her sense of self: To expect a woman to react in another way is to turn a blind eye to her value as a woman, or a human being(s).

It's not your conventional reaction to cheating. Not surprisingly, it has been a hit with many college students, just as it was with the plagiarists at Piper High.

Moreover, the paper said, checking for cheating "might even harm the relationship between students and faculty."参考译文：抄袭者成为了受害者，老师们成了压迫者。

And at this point, anything I could do to make him happy, I was going to do.参考译文：这是“夜线”专访的几天以后，天空中阴霾密布。

I WAS TALKING BUSINESS with a colleague late one afternoon when the first call came. The voice on the other end was loud and panicked; my colleague looked over at me, horrified.I WAS TALKING BUSINESS with a colleague late one afternoon when the first call came. The voice on the other end was loud and panicked; my colleague looked over at me, horrified.''Natalie, is that you?'' screamed my grandmother. ''Natalie, I need you to do me a favor!''I cupped the telephone mouthpiece. ''What's wrong, Grandma?''She started to cry, her voice heaving and gasping. She told me that she'd been alone since 12 o'clock - for five hours! - and that nobody was scheduled to visit her until 10 that night. She couldn't stand it; she was going crazy; they'd left her all alone, and she was so afraid. She'd been calling everybody, everybody - her son (my uncle), her stepson, her grandsons. And now me.''So what do you want me to do?'' I muttered, although I knew the answer.''Please, darling, come over! Can't you come here? Please Natalie! I'm ALL ALONE!''''O.K., O.K.,'' I said. ''I'm coming over. I'll be up there as soon as I can.''I hung up and told my colleague that I'd have to leave in a few minutes. But I didn't think there was any immediate crisis. My grandmother lives in an apartment building on New York's Upper East Side where plenty of people know her and stop by to see how she is. She just wanted company - and, damn it, I was busy. I continued my business discussion for another 20 minutes. Until the second call came.This time my grandmother was genuinely hysterical. ''Natalie, WHERE ARE YOU?'' she cried. ''You said you were coming right over! Please darling! ''Now I really did hurry, racing out the door and grabbing a cab. But the moment I arrived at her apartment I wanted to run the other way again. She clutched my arm and pulled me inside. Her face was a gray blur of tears and her thin white hair stood up in wild peaks. Her bathrobe had half fallen off; I'd never seen my grandmother's naked body before. The apartment smelled stale. I threw open a window and sat down stiffly on the couch.For the next few minutes I didn't say a word as my grandmother shuffled around the living room, ranting against the world. She complained about my uncle, who had deserted her earlier in the day (he had to go to work). She railed against my mother - her daughter -who was vacationing in Australia. She talked madly about how they were trying to steal her money, how they'd taken away her keys, how they never spent more than 10 minutes at a time with her - although I knew only too well that both her children structured their days and nights around her needs.As she sputtered on, I felt more and more helpless and resentful. Finally, my rage overwhelmed my judgment. I stood up and started yelling at her.I told her that nobody and nothing could help her. ''The only person who could help you is you!'' I said in righteous fury. ''Do you understand me? You've got to stop being so damned dependent on everybody!''At which point she let out a piercing shriek of agony and hurled herself on her bed. The only thing I'd accomplished with my idiotic lecture was to heighten both her hysteria and my sense of impotence.My grandmother is 80, but she seems much older. Although she suffers from a host of physical ailments -mild diabetes, glaucoma, asthma, arthritis - her real problems are neurological and psychological. She may have Alzheimer's, she may have been stricken by a series of small, silent strokes. Her doctor isn't sure, and he says that, frankly, the precise diagnosis doesn't matter: her condition is irreversible. What is clear is that she hates being old, she can't stand being left alone for even minutes at a time, and she'll do anything to surround herself with people.These days, much of the family conversation centers on her. What are we going to do about Grandma? Put her in a nursing home? (Too awful). Hire a live-in companion? (Too expensive). Put her on some new psychotherapeutic medication? (Nothing seems to work). Not only does my grandmother demand companionship during the day; she also needs somebody around every night. So another question my family grapples with is: whose turn is it to sleep over on grandmother's sofa bed?By far the most debilitating consequence of the ordeal is the guilt. Because we can't seem to make my grandmother happy, we feel frustrated. That frustration leads us to either explode in anger or to drop out of sight - immature reactions that come prepackaged with shame. No matter how much she does, my mother worries she's not doing enough. At the same time, she bitterly resents her mother's nonstop demands. The result is that my mother visits and calls my grandmother constantly, but then ends up lashing out in senseless indignation. My uncle usually represses his emotions, but he's starting to gain weight and to look his 56 years.I manage to combine the worst of all worlds. I neglect to call my grandmother for weeks at a stretch. When I do visit, I lapse into the role of boot-camp sergeant. As a fitness fanatic, I tell her it's never too late to take up exercise. I turn away from her tears. My mother accuses me of being heartless; she's right.My grandmother is the first person I have watched grow old. I used to adore her: she still keeps loving poems and letters I wrote to her. She was always a vivid, energetic woman, selling bonds for Israel, working long hours in charity thrift shops. She told stories about her past with the narrative panache of Isaac Bashevis Singer. Wherever she went, she made flocks of friends - a trait that I, a lonely and sullen girl, particularly admired.But then hard times began to pile up around her like layers of choking silt. Although she'd stoutly nursed three husbands through terminal illnesses, she became increasingly depressed when her siblings - all older than she - started to die. After she lost her last remaining sister, in 1982, my grandmother just about lost her mind. She still had many friends, but she clamored for ever more attention from her children and grandchildren. She became an emotional hair-trigger; she'd have temper tantrums at parties, seders, my sister's wedding.As my grandmother has worsened, so too has my response to her. My mother implores me to be decent and stay in touch, and I launch into all the reasons why I don't. But my excuses sound shallow and glib, even to myself. The truth is that my grandmother terrifies me.I have in my mind a pastel confection of the perfect old woman. She is wise and dignified, at peace with herself and quietly proud of the life she has forged. She doesn't waste time seeking approval or cursing the galaxy. Instead, she works at her craft. She is Georgia O'Keeffe painting, Louise Nevelson sculpturing, Marianne Moore writing. Or she is a less celebrated woman, who reads, listens to Bach, and threads together the scattered days into a private whole.Of course, there are many things my fantasy doyenne is not. She's not strapped for money. Her joints don't ache, her breath doesn't rattle. She isn't losing her memory, her reason, her eyesight. Above all, she is not the old woman I know best.I love my grandmother. She still has her good hours, when her mind is quick and clear. Inevitably, though, her mad despair bursts to the surface again. She discovers a new reason to weep, blame and backstab, and I discover a new excuse for staying away.I want to age magnificently, as O'Keeffe and Moore did. I want to be better in half a century than I am at 31, but I doubt that I will. When I look at my grandmother, fragile, frightened, unhappy, wanting to die but clinging desperately to life, I see myself - and I cannot stand the sight.。

About the Book
The book Freakonomics is a collection of economic articles written by Levitt, translated into prose meant for a wide audience. Levitt, who in the book is ascribed the epithet “rogue economist”, had already gained a reputation in academia for applying economic theory to diverse subjects not usually covered by “traditional” economists; he does, however, accept the standard neoclassical microeconomic model of rational utility-maximization. In Freakonomics, Levitt and Dubner argue that economics is, at root, the study of incentives.
