新编大学英语BookIUnit7教案Unit Seven Choices in LifeUseful InformationEach day we all make many choices; most of these choices are small---what to wear, what to eat, what to do with any leisure time we might happen to have, to name just a few, still, there are many important choices that we make in life---which university to attend, what to study, what type of job to seek, whom to marry, etc. Sometimes we may become tired of making choices, but we always know that we will continue to make them as long as we live, because that is better than having them made for us. We may sometimes ask for advice about a choice we must make, but ultimately most of the decisions as to which choices are best will be made by ourselves, both important an unimportant. We also know that we will undoubtedly have to suffer the consequences of making poor choices and that we will often rejoice in the many fortunate choices we make. It is not surprising that one of the most common old sayings in English is, “you pay your money and make your choices”, me aning that you can do what you want to when it comes to making a choice but then you will have to live with the outcome.Many writers have written about the important of choices throughout our lives. One of the most popular and beloved poems in the Engl ish language has “choice” as its subject matter. In this poem, “The Read Not Taken”, Robert Frost describes walking along a path through the woods and coming to a fork in the path. He must choose which fork to take, that is, which way to go, knowing that he will probably never be able to come back and try the other way. He ends his poems by saying,“I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” T his poem is seen as a metaphor for the important choices in life which do, indeed, make “all the difference” for us. In Frost’s case, the choice is often interpreted as his choice of career, to take the risk of becoming a poet, knowing that thousands of poets never really succeed.Some choices bring risk with them. “Risk” may be defined as “the possibility of loss or injury”. In this sense, we may want to avoid taking a risk, but sometimes it is necessary to do so if we are to move forward and develop ourselves to our full potential. As Boris Pasternak the 20th century Russian Nobel prize-winning writer stated, “Art is unthinkable without risk.” Also, the American psychologist William James wrote, “It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all”, stressing that in order to have to have a full life we must take r isks. He stated further that “There if no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision”, stressing that we must constantly make decisi ons which, of necessity, involve choice and risk if we are to lead full and happy lives.We may all think of the term “risk” in different ways, but it can be interesting to come to a decision as to what we mean by “risk” and then think about the important choices and/or risks that have thus far been involved in our lives.Part One Preparation1. Decision MakingMany decisions:(1) choose a good wife/ husband.(2) Find a well-paid and suitable job.(3) Choose a good university and appropriate major.(4) Choose what kind of people to make friends with.(5) Choose what to eat on a day-to-day basis.(6) Should I skip the English class since I’m not feeling well today?(7) Should I go to school by bike or on foot.(8) Where should I study tonight, in the dorm or classroom?2.

新编大学英语第二册1-7单元课文翻译及课后答案

第一单元善良之心，久久相依当时我没有意识到，是爸爸帮我保持平衡奥古斯塔斯• J •布洛克1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。

他身材矮小，走起路来跛得很厉害。

我们一起走时，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人们就会盯着我们看。

对这种不必要的注意我觉得非常难堪。

他也许曾注意到，或着觉得烦恼，但他从来没有流露出来。

2 要协调我们的步伐并不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起来)则缺乏耐心。

因此，我们走路的时候并不怎么说话。

但出发时，他总是说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。

”3 我们通常在家和地铁之间来往，这是他上班的必由之路。

不论生病还是碰到恶劣的天气他都去上班，几乎没有旷过一天工。

即使别人无法上班，他也要去办公室。

对他来说这是一种自豪。

4 当地上有冰或雪的时候，即使有人帮忙他也无法走路。

这时，我或者我的姐妹就用孩子玩的雪撬拉着他，穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道，直到地铁的入口处。

一到那儿，他就能紧紧抓住扶手一直走下去, 地铁道里比较暖和，下面的楼梯不结冰。

曼哈顿的地铁站正好是他办公楼的地下室，因此除了从布鲁克林我们去接他的地方到回家为止，他都不用再出去。

5 一个成年男子要有多少勇气才能承受这种屈辱和压力，我现在想来惊讶不已。

他从没有痛苦或抱怨，他是怎么做到这一步的我感到不可思议。

6 他从不把自己当作同情的对象，也从不对更幸运的或更能干的人表示任何嫉妒。

他在别人身上所寻找的是一颗“善心”。

如果他找到了一颗善心，那么有这么颗心的人对他来说就是一位大好人了。

7 由于年龄的增长，我相信那是一种用来判断人的恰当的标准，尽管我还不能精确地知道什么是一颗“善心”。

但是，当我自己没有的时候，我是知道的。

8 尽管很多活动我爸爸不能参加，但他还是尽量用某种方式参与。

当本地的一支棒球队发现缺经理的时候，他使它维持下去。

他是一个很懂行的棒球迷，经常带我去埃贝茨球场看布鲁克林的道奇队打球。

他喜欢参加舞会和聚会，就是坐在一旁观看，也很开心。

Culture also includes the languages and dialects that people use to expresstheir feelings and to communicate with each other. It is often difficult to dissociate language and culture since, in most cases, language is the main medium through which culture is transmitted.Most people feel that it is impossible to really know a culture without speaking the language. In some immigrant populations in North America, however, the original language has been lost but customs and traditions are still maintained.Although many cultures in the world have remained isolated for centuries, commerce and trade have often been the source of all sorts of cultural exchanges, ranging from foods to tools.Chinese porcelain and other inventions reached Europe thanks to the silk route, for example.However, cultural exchanges have not always been fair or balanced. The native populations of North and South America were decimated by disease and alcohol brought by the Europeans.Throughout history, wars and political decisions have destroyed cultures and forced people to adopt the language and the customs of the dominate civilization.It is often assumed that if a culture is technologically advanced, it must be superior or that ifa culture is young it must be inferior. Everyone tends to make value judgments about othercultures. Finding fault with or making fun of other customs and beliefs is often merely a way of bolstering our complacency or our pride. It is certainly much easier to learn about other cultures if one approaches them with an open mind and if one respects differences rather than criticizing them. Often something that appears strange or unusual in another culture is in fact very logical and part of a deeply rooted tradition. What might seem rude in one culture might seem perfectly normal and acceptable in another culture. Tolerance and curiosity are key factors in all cross-cultural learning experiences.Although modern transportation and communications have reduced the world to a …global village‟, there are still many fascinating cultural differences to explore. Discovering ho w people from other regions or other countries see the world can be an enriching experience. Tasting new foods, listening to different music, and studying the architecture or the literature of other cultures can open up new perspectives on life.Customs1)customs in JapanThe Japanese are noted for their courtesy. They bow all the time and repeatedly. Japanese who greet people from the west often try to do two things at once. They try to bow to follow localcustoms. They shake hands, they also move their body up and down as if they are bowing. It looks like they are trying to pump water from an old pump at a well.2)ritual“R itual” refers to the things people unanimously do or day when parting.II.Suggested Class Activities:1.

Unit7Culture新编⼤学英语第⼆版第⼆册课⽂翻译Unit 7 CultureBridging Cultural Gaps Gracefully[1] Why is it that when you study a foreign language, you never learn the little phrases that let you slip into a culture without all your foreignness exposed? Every Chinese-language textbook starts out with the standard phrase for greeting people; but as an American, I constantly found myself tongue-tied when it came to seeing guests off at the door. An abrupt goodbye would not do, yet that was all I had ever learned from these books. So I would smile and nod, bowing like a Japanese and trying to find words that would smooth over the visitors' leaving and make them feel they would be welcome to come again. In my fluster, I often hid behind my Chinese husband's graciousness.[2] Then finally, listening to others, I began to pick up the phrases that eased relations and sent people off with a feeling of mission not only accomplished but surpassed.[3] Partings for the Chinese involve a certain amount of ritual and a great deal of one-upmanship. Although I'm not expected to observe or even know all the rules, as a foreigner, I've had to learn the expressions of politeness and protest that accompany a leave-taking.[4] The Chinese feel they must see a guest off to the farthest feasible point—down a flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the nearest bus stop. I've sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to return from seeinga guest off, since he's gone to the bus stop and waited for the next bus to arrive.[5] For a less import ant or perhaps a younger guest, he may simply say, “I won't see you off, all right?” And of course the guest assures him that he would never think of putting him to the trouble of seeing him off. “Don't see me off! Don't see meoff!”[6] That's all very well, but when I'm the guest being seen off, my protests are always useless, and my hostess or host, or both, insists on seeing me down the stairs and well on my way, with our going through the “Don't bother to see me off” ritual at every landing. If I try to go fast to discourage them from following, they are simply put to the discomfort of having to flee after me. Better to accept the inevitable.[7] Besides, that's going against Chinese custom, because haste is to be avoided. What do you say when you part from someone? “Go slowly.” Not farewell or Godspeed, but “Go slowly.” To the Chinese it means “Take care” or “Watch your step”or some other such caution, but translated literally it means “Go slow.”[8] That same “slow” is used in another polite express ion used by the host at the end of a particularly large and delicious meal to assure his guests what a poor and inadequatehost he has been.[9] American and Chinese cultures are at polar opposites. An American hostess, complimented for her cooking skills, is likely to say, “Oh, I'm so glad that you liked it. I cooked it especially for you.” Not so a Chinese host or hostess (often the husband does the fancy cooking), who will instead apologize for giving you “nothing” even slightly edible and for not showing you enough honor by providing proper dishes.[10] The same rules hold true with regard to children. American parents speak proudly of their children's accomplishments, telling how Johnny made the school team or Jane made the honor roll. Not so Chinese parents, whose children, even if at the top of their class in school, are always so “naughty”, never studying, never listening to their elders, and so forth.[11] The Chinese take pride in “modesty”; the Americans in “straightforwardness”. That modesty has left many a Chinese hungry at an American table, for Chinese politeness calls for three refusals before one accepts an offer, and the American hosts takea “no” to mean “no”, whether it's the first, second, or third time.[12] Recently, a member of a delegation sent to China by a large American corporation complained to me about how the Chinese had asked them three times if they would be willing to modify some proposal, and each time the Americans had said “no” clearly and definitely. My friend was angry because the Chinese had not taken their word the first time. I recognized the problem immediately and wondered why the Americans had not studied up on cultural differences before coming to China. It would have saved them a lot of confusion and frustration in their negotiations.[13] Once you've learned the signals and how to respond, life becomes much easier. When guests come, I know I should immediately ask if they'd like a cup of tea. They will respond, “Please don't bother,” which is my signal to fetch tea.从容得体德跨越⽂化沟壑1 在外语学习中，学会⼀些简单的词组就能让你不知不觉地进⼊另⼀种⽂化，⽽丝毫不暴露你作为⼀个外国⼈的⾝份，但你为什么总是学不会呢？每本汉语课本都，⼀律从问候语开始的。

T may lead in to Text A by saying: As we discover from the previous exercise, an Englishmay have multiple meanings. Likewise, several different words may be pronounced in the same way. For example; I knew a student who ,upon hear ing the title of Helen Keller’s famous essay Three Days to See, translated it into <海边三⽇>. Considered in this perspective, English is really messy.

Robert MacNeil, the author of Text A ,does not disappoint us.The title, The Glorious Messiness of English, offers a good example of oxymoron. An oxymoron puts two contradictory terms together to puzzle the reader, luring him /her to pause and explore why. “glorious” is a commendatory term ,while “messiness” is derogatory. Why do they stand next to each other? Then ,as the reader reads on, he/ she will find out that the title is actually a thesis statement: yes, English is messy, but the messiness reflects some commendable qualities of English, such as t olerance, the love of freedom, and the respect for others’ rights. At this point the reader cannot but admire the author’s ingunuity.Robert MacNeil employs many metaphors , such as core of English ,a common parent language, another flood of new vocabulary, the special preserve of grammarians . In Para 18 there is an instance of sustained metaphor: the cultural soil, the first shoots sprang up,---grew stronger, build fences around their language. In this case the English language is compared to plants, and the various cultures influencing it are compared to the soil, while users of English are compared to gardeners.We can also find parallelism in the quote from Winston Churchill: “We shall fight on the beaches ,we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields ad in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender.”There is personification in the sentence “ Translations of Greek and Roman classics were poured onto the printed page---”There is metonymy in the sent ence “The country now had three languages: French for the nobles, Latin for the churches and English for the common people.” Here the word “churched” stands for religious institutions and those who are involved in religious practices.Ⅲ. Cultural Notes1.History of English:The roots of English: English began as a west Germanic language which was brought to England by the Saxons around 400 A.D. Old English was the spoken and written language of England between 400 and 1100 A.D. Many words used today come from Old English, including man, woman, king, mother, etc. But Old English was very different from modern Englishand only a few words can be easily recognized. In the 9th and 10th centuries, when Vikings invaded England, Old Norse words, eg, sky, take and get and many place names , entered the language.From the Norman Conquest (1066) until the late 12th century English was replaced as the official language by Norman French, though English was still used by the lower classes. Englishfrom about 1300 to 1500 is known as Middle English. It was influenced by French and also Latin in vocabulary and pronunciation. French brought many words connected with government, e.g. sovereign, royal, court, legal and government itself. Latin was the language of religion and learning and gave to English words such as minister, angel, master, school and grammar. Literature began again to be written in English during this period. One of the most famous Middle English works is Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales.The development of Modern English: Modern English developed from the Middle English dialect of the East Midlands and was influenced by the English used in London, where a printing press was set up by William Caxon in 1476. English changed a great deal from this time until the end of 18th century. During the Renaissance, many words were introduced from Greek and Latin to express new ideas, especially in science, medicine and philosophy. They included physics, species, architecture, encyclopedia and hypothesis. In the 16th century several versions of the Bible helped bring written English to ordinary people. The Elizabethan period is also famous for its drama and Shakespeare’s plays were seen by many people. The development of printing helped established standards of spelling and grammar, but there remained a lot of variation. Samuel Johnson’s A Dictionary of the English Languages (1755) was the first authoritative of English. It defined about40,000 words and gave examples of their use.By the 18th century American English was established and developing independently from British English . After colonists arrived in the US new words began to be added from Native American languages, and from French and Spanish. In 1783, soon after Johnson’s dictionary was publ ished, Noah Webster’s The Elementary Spelling Book was published in the US. At first it used Johnson’s spellings, but later editions contained many of what have come to be known as American spellings, e.g. harbor and favorite.2oth century English: during the 19th and early 20th centuries many dictionaries and books about language were published. New words are still being added to English from other languages, including Chinese (feng shui) and Japanese (karaoke). Existing words gain new senses, and new expressions spread quickly through television and the Internet.English is now an international language and is used as a means of communication between people from many countries. As a result the influences on the English language are wider than ever and it is possible that World English will move away from using a British or American standard and establish its own international identity.2.Winston Churchill( 1874-1965) : a politician who is remembered as one of Britain’s greatest statesmen. He was the son of the Conservative politician Lord Randolph Churchill and his American wife Jennie. As a young man he served as a soldier in India and Egypt, and as ajournalist in South Africa, before entering politics. Churchill became Prime Minister and Minister of Defence in 1940. His radio speeches during World WarⅡgave the British people a strong determination to win the war, especially at times of great crisis. Examples of Churchill’s phrases will often quoted today are “ I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat ”, and “This was their finest hour”. The Conservative Party led by Churchill lost the election of 1945, but he became Prime Minister again from 1951 to 1955 when he retired, aged 80. When he died in Jan 1965 he was given a state funeral.3.Julius Caesar (100-44BC): the best-known of all the ancient Roman leaders, and the first onw to land in Britain with an army.

In Britain they were also known as Norsemen. They settled on the Scottish islands and in areas of eastern England, and the Danish King Canute ruled England from 1016. The Vikings were feared as violent and cruel, but they were also noted for their skill in building ships and as sailors. They had an important influence on English culture and the English language.5.Norman: any of the people from Normandy in northern France who settled in England after their leader William defeated the English king at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The Normans took control of the country, a process known as the Norman Conquest. They used many of the existing Anglo-Saxon methods of government of the state and the church, but added important aspects of their own and made government much more effective. The language of government became first Latin, and then Norman French, and this caused many new words to be added to the existing English language.Ⅳ.

大学英语教案大学英语教案大学英语教案大学英语教案大学英语教案大学英语教案大学英语教案大学英语教案大学英语教案大学英语教案出师表两汉：诸葛亮先帝创业未半而中道崩殂，今天下三分，益州疲弊，此诚危急存亡之秋也。

然侍卫之臣不懈于内，忠志之士忘身于外者，盖追先帝之殊遇，欲报之于陛下也。

诚宜开张圣听，以光先帝遗德，恢弘志士之气，不宜妄自菲薄，引喻失义，以塞忠谏之路也。

宫中府中，俱为一体；陟罚臧否，不宜异同。

若有作奸犯科及为忠善者，宜付有司论其刑赏，以昭陛下平明之理；不宜偏私，使内外异法也。

侍中、侍郎郭攸之、费祎、董允等，此皆良实，志虑忠纯，是以先帝简拔以遗陛下：愚以为宫中之事，事无大小，悉以咨之，然后施行，必能裨补阙漏，有所广益。

将军向宠，性行淑均，晓畅军事，试用于昔日，先帝称之曰“能”，是以众议举宠为督：愚以为营中之事，悉以咨之，必能使行阵和睦，优劣得所。

亲贤臣，远小人，此先汉所以兴隆也；亲小人，远贤臣，此后汉所以倾颓也。

先帝在时，每与臣论此事，未尝不叹息痛恨于桓、灵也。

侍中、尚书、长史、参军，此悉贞良死节之臣，愿陛下亲之、信之，则汉室之隆，可计日而待也。

臣本布衣，躬耕于南阳，苟全性命于乱世，不求闻达于诸侯。

先帝不以臣卑鄙，猥自枉屈，三顾臣于草庐之中，咨臣以当世之事，由是感激，遂许先帝以驱驰。

后值倾覆，受任于败军之际，奉命于危难之间，尔来二十有一年矣。

先帝知臣谨慎，故临崩寄臣以大事也。

受命以来，夙夜忧叹，恐托付不效，以伤先帝之明；故五月渡泸，深入不毛。

今南方已定，兵甲已足，当奖率三军，北定中原，庶竭驽钝，攘除奸凶，兴复汉室，还于旧都。

此臣所以报先帝而忠陛下之职分也。

至于斟酌损益，进尽忠言，则攸之、祎、允之任也。

愿陛下托臣以讨贼兴复之效，不效，则治臣之罪，以告先帝之灵。

若无兴德之言，则责攸之、祎、允等之慢，以彰其咎；陛下亦宜自谋，以咨诹善道，察纳雅言，深追先帝遗诏。

臣不胜受恩感激。

今当远离，临表涕零，不知所言。

We start conversations with people in the street, in the subway ；we are a lot more outgoing than people here. Y ou know, when I first came, I could not understand why Iwas getting so little reaction from people, but now I see that they thought I was overpowering and toofriendly too soon.Interviewer：But tell me: Does the Englishman improve as you get to know him?T erry：Oh, yesInterviewer：Oh ,goodT erry：Once you have made a friend, it is a friend for life, but it takes a very long time . I will tell you something that I think is very important. An Englishman in America is respected. Everyone wants to talk to him. Weare inquestive. We love his acent and his country. But Americans in England are thought to be a littleinferior because of their loud behavior and their language. One thing I have learned is that English peoplelike a certain distance. When I was talking to someone, he would move away, you know, move backwards,and I thought , “Do I smell ?Am I boring him ?” The reason is you see, Americans stand closer whenthey are talking while English people like a certain distance.Listening IIExercise 1 1)C 2)A 3)D 4)C 5)CExercise 2l. lost 2.India 3.settle/stay pare 5.water 6.spoil 7.sugar 8.stayScript:Many centuries ago, a group of Jews landed in India and immediately went to the king . They told him that they were lost and wanted to settle in his kingdom.In those days any foreigner was viewed with suspicion. So the king was hesitant about letting them in .He sent for one glass of milk and added some water. He asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk. The he poured out some milk and added some water .He asked the leader to taste the milk again and said ,”What is the difference in taste?”The leader said,“The second time the milk tastes terrible.”“That is because of the water added to the milk”said the king ，“The water dilutees the milk and spoils its taste. So too your addition will spoil the kingdom.”The leader of the milk and asked the king to taste it .”I t tastes sweet,” said the kingThe leader of the Jews bowed his head and said,“Oh，Y our Majesty! That is how we would like to live here :as the small amount of sugar which sweetens the large quantity of milk and not as the water which dilutes the milk.” Pleased with him, the king granted them permission to stay.Listening IIIExercise 1 1-E 2-B 3-G 4-A5-D 6-F 7-CExercise 2 1. European 2. 1:00p.m. ,4:30p.m. 3. brown 4. party 5. standScript:Different cultures adhere to different business customs. For example, the British consider it impolite to interrupt a visitor, even after all business has been done. Thus a visitor should know when to stop talking and when to leave.Spanish business people need to see samples, so samples of products or services should be offered w henever possible. Visitors also need to know that in Spain offices and retail establishments generally close from 1:00 p.m. to as late as 4:30 p.m. In addition, black shoes, not brown, are considered proper for business occasions. The Spanish historically have favored black.In Scandinavia and Finland, business guests may be asked to shed their clothes and join their hosts in a sauna. The invitation is a sign that a good working relationship has been established.In Denmark, a visitor who is invited to a business associate’s home should take flowers or some unusual food.In Norway, the visitor is expected to send a gift the way after a dinner.In France, one sends flowers before visiting a home for dinner, but not chrysanthemums; they’re for funerals. More than flowers and gifts, the French expect a business visitor to give a party after major dealings.In Germany, flowers are an appropriate gift to take to a business colleague’s wife when invited to dinner, but not red roses; they’re for lovers. Her e men are expected to stand when a woman rises from the table and when she returns. Fortunately, German women have reached a silent understanding that when one has to be excused, the other women leave also.Listening IVExercise 1 4, 7, 6, 1, 3, 8, 2, 5Exercise 2 F T T F FScript:A Hindu priest, rabbi and a lawyer were driving down the road when the car broke down. Fortunately, they found a farmhouse nearby. The farmer informed them that he had only one spare room, and that it had only two twin beds.They were welcome to it, but one of them had to sleep in the barn. After much discussion, the Hindu volunteered to go to the barn. A few moments later, there was a knock on the bedroom door, and the Hindu explained that there was a cow in the barn, and cows were sacred and he could not possibly sleep in the barn with a cow.Annoyed, the rabbi volunteered. A few moments later, there was a knock on the door. The rabbi explained that there was a pig in the barn and that he, being very orthodox, could not possibly spend the evening in the barn with the origin of pork.Finally, the lawyer said that he would go to the barn. A few moments later, there was a knock on the door. It was the cow and the pig!Part 2 Viewing, Understanding and SpeakingExercise 1 T T F T F T T FExercise 21. stupid mistakes2. lovely ones; make3. eve; entirely4. finished; fixes5. symbol of death6. on time; alone7. remind; in front of8. what we do; right awayPart 3 Video Appreciation and Singing for FunExercise 1 A C B D C BExercise 21. culture2. nation3. mix4. ceremonies5. celebrations6. recognized7. worn8. distinctive9. everyday wear 10. variesPart 4 Further ListeningListening I1.walk2. matter3. both4. leave5. share6. shake7. offer8. Promptness is important both in Britain and in America.9. There is an old story about a man who gave a normal dinner party.10. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.Scripts:Customs differ from country. Does a man walk on the left or on the right of a woman in you country? Or doesn’t it matter? What about table manners? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one in you lap , or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs .For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman，and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if one is invited to a dinner at 7 o’clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay .The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable—especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a normal dinner party .When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were surprised, but the host quietly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.Listening IIExercise 1 C D E GExercise 2 T T F F F T T TScripts:Throughout the world children are taught not to stuff their mouthswith food, to eat politely at the table and not to be ”piggish” wi th their eating habits. However, more and more countries have eating contests in which as much food is eaten as fast as possible, and no one cares about manners.Today, eating contests have become a sport in many countries including Japan, the US, Canada, Germany, Thailand, England, Russia and Scotland. In the U.S., the best known eating contest is Natio n’ s restaurant in Coney Island, New Y ork City’s popular beach and amusement park. The contest was first held in 1916 and has been held each year except 1947 and 1971.The all-time world record is held by Takeru Kobayashi of Japan, who ate 50 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes. Recently, a tiny Korean American woman, Sonya Thomas, came in fourth, eating 25 hot dogs in 12 minutes. This broke the women’s record.Sonya Thomas hold several eating records. She ate 23 pork sandwiches in 10 minutes at a contest in Mississippi, and at a competition in Indiana, she shocked the crowd by eating 65 hard-boiled eggs in only 6 minutes and 40 seconds. She thinks her biggest win was when she ate 36 dozen oysters in 10 minutes .Despite all the food she eats, Sonya weights less than 45 kg. She keeps fit by eating lots of rice, vegetables and chicken and walks on a treadmill 4 times a week .She also says that when she is not competing in a contest she likes leisurely meals.Listening IIIExercise 1 1)C 2)C 3)B 4)D 5)D 6)AExercise 2 T F F T F TScripts:When people live in a new country, they often find it uncomfortable to adjust to life in the new culture. They might feel confused, anxious or lonely, especially when the new culture is greatly different from their own. These feelings are called symptoms of culture shock.There are 3 stages of culture shock. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the newness wears off, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people etc. in the new culture. In the final stage of culture shock, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and again enjoy their life.Some of the factors in culture shock are obvious. Maybe the weather is unpleasant. Perhaps the customs are different. Perhaps the public systems such as telephone, post office or transportation are difficult to figure out and you make mistakes. The simplest things seem difficult. The language may be difficult. The food may seem strange to you and you may miss the familiar smells of the food of your own country. If you don't look like the natives, you may feel strange.Y ou may feel like everyone is watching you. In fact, you are just self-conscious.Culture shock may produce a feeling of homesickness, imagined illness, or even unreasonable fear. When people have such feelings, they sometimes feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the unfamiliar environment.Listening IVExercise 1 1 2 5Exercise 2 A D A B B DScripts:(An American traveler, John Smith, has just arrived in Britain. He wants to know something about British pubs, so he is talking with a British pub owner.)•• John Smith:Pub is a funny word. Why are pubs called pubs?• Pub Owner:It’s short for public house, a place that has a special license to sell drinks.• John Smith:Why do most pubs have signs hanging outside?• Pub Owner:Because until the beginning of this century, most people couldn’t read. So a picture was best for showing travelers where they could get a drink.• John Smith:I see, but I’ve noticed in British that a lot of the pubs have the same name. I’ve seen three calle d The Red Lion. Why?• Pub Owner:Well, many years ago, huge areas of British were owned by a few families, and innkeepers named their pubs after these families who each had their own family symbol. A red lion was the Gaunt family’ssymbol. The Tudors had a greyhound. That’s why so many pubs all over the country have the samename. Other pubs got their names from religious events, ways of traveling, sports , jobs, famouspeople, famous battles and so on. Studying pub names is a really good way of learning a bit about ourhistory.• John Smith:Y our pub’s a “free house”. What’s that?• Pub Owner:It doesn’t mean that the drinks are free! Most pubs are owned by big breweries which sell only their own beer. But some landlords, like me, own their own pubs. We’re free to sell any beer from anybrewery.• John Smith:This beer is lovely and different.• Pub Owner:We call it real ale. It’s usually made by small local breweries so each type has a different taste. It’s normally much stronger than the beer made by big breweries—when you’re traveling round Englandyou should try to taste some of the different types.。

Useful Information I
• Bob Dylan was important in both, and can not be classified as one or the other, popular outside the South, and its popularity is still growing today. But the disco trend of 1970s barely lasted into 1980s. Today’s pop music is a mixture of rock, folk, blues, disco, and country. It’s often hard to say which is which. Mariah Carey sounds a lot like Whitney Houston, though their musical backgrounds are very different. John Denver moved from folk to country, and Bob Dylan has added country and blues to his folk and rock.
Useful Information I
• After the war disk jockeys emerged. Some appealed to whites and featured recordings of the Big Bands or singers like Frank Sinatra. Others appealed to blacks and featured blues and spirituals. In the 1950s disc jockeys discovered a new market: teenagers. For the first time young people had the money of their own to spend on the radio, records, and other entertainments. Elvis Presley took some black blues songs he’d heard on the radio, recorded them for whit audiences, and became the first rock star. But the phrase “rock and roll” can be found in earlier black recordings. The 1960s started with rock, but soon folk music made a big comeback.

Similar examples are:my male mother, mortal friend, a woman of devastating beauty, creative destructionThe coach had to be cruel to be kind to his trainees.She read the long-awaited letter with a tearful smile.When the news of failure came, all his friends said it was a victorious defeat.2) The text can be divided into three parts. Students scan the first sentence of each paragraph in Text A to find out where the present tense is switched to the past tense and where the present tense is resumed.5. ExercisesSynonyms:want and wishWant is more formal, often used in conversation. For example, You may leave if you wish. Wish to do sth and want to do sth have the same meaning, but wish to do is formal and want to do is oral. Want sb to do sth and wish is often followed by a that clause. And we also have wish sb sth.I wish you both a very pleasant journey.Ann, I am sorry. I wish I had never said that to you.My parents want me to give you their best regards.We do not want\wish to waste our money on such worthless things.skin and hideskin is the natural layer of human or animal body. It also refers to natural out cover of some fruits and vegetables, for example, a tiger skin(leather or fur), banana skin or onion skin; a sausage skin, sheep skin jacket, etc. Hide refers to animal’s skin bought or used for sth, informal. Sometimes jocularly it refers to human skin, too.This is the best lotion I’ve ever known for skin care.“I am sorry I called you a pig.” “My hide\skin is thick enough; it didn’t bother me.”This pair of boots is made of buffalo hide. They are very durable.I don’t need a knife; I can peel the skin off with my fingers.raise and rearRaise commonly used in America. Usual collocations are raise the fruit, vegetable, cattle, wheat. That is to say we can raise both people and other things. But in British English, we rear cattle and grow wheat. Raise also means to make oneself better.The male bird helps the female to raise\rear the young.You cannot raise corn here. The climate is not right for it.The couples agreed that to raise\rear the children properly they need two incomes.He worked hard to raise himself from poverty.Royal, kingly and sovereignRoyal refers to sth connected with or belonging to a king or queen and something suitable for a king or queen, very impressive, for example, royal power, royal visit, royal welcome. Kingly means something good enough for a king, typical for a king, for example, a kingly feast. Sovereign means sth highest or independent and self-governing, for example, sovereign power(至高的权利), sovereign state（主权国家）.The British royal family has been the focus of media attention in recent weeks.The young man’s kingly\royal bearing has won him many admirers.When did India gain its independence and become a sovereign state?With his health restored, he is now ready to resume his kingly\royal duties.UsagePosition of connecting adverbsConnecting adverbs refers to adverbs or adverb phrases that indicate a connection between one clause or sentence and another. They are usually put at the beginning of the clause or sentence, or after the subject. A few can be used in end position. Several others like however can go in all three positions.Fill in each gap in the following sentences with an appropriate adverb or adverb phrase from the box below.⑴.
