新视界大学英语综合教程2unit5Two kinds of judgement 1. There are two different ways people judge you. Sometimes judging you correctly is the end goal. But there’s a second much more common type of judgment where it isn’t. We tend to regard all judgments of us as the first type. We’d probably be happier if we realized which are and which aren’t. 译文：判断一个人有两种不同的方式，有时判断的最终目的是正确地判断一个人，不过另外一种则不是如此，并且这种判断要常见得多。

我们往往认为所有的判断都属于第一种。

如果能意识到哪些是第一种而哪些不是的话，我们也许会更幸福。

1 重点词汇：Judgment：n. [C, U] an opinion that you have after thinking carefully about something 判断；看法；评价例句：It is still too soon to form a judgment about this. 现在对此作出判断仍为时过早。

例句：I respect his judgment and I’ll follow any advice he gives me. 我尊重他的判断能力，会接受他提出的任何建议。

句子分析： 1. Sometimes judging you correctly is the end goal. (Line 2, Para 1) This sentence means the purpose of the exercise is to judge your ability at a skill, or your guilt or innocence; the focus is on you. end goal: final purpose 2.The first type of judgment, the type where judging you is the end goal, includes court cases, grades in classes, and most competitions. Such judgments can of course be mistaken, but because the goal is to judge you correctly, there’s usually some kind of appeals process. If you feel you’ve been misjudged, you canprotest that you’ve been treated unfairly. 译文：第一种判断，即把正确地判断一个人作为最终目的的判断，包括法院判决、考试成绩及大部分比赛。

Read About It

Tongue-tied
Several weeks ago I was riding in a cab when the driver’s eyes caught mine in the rear view mirror and he said, “Excuse me, Miss? Can you help me?”
I cleared my throat. “Um, it’s a, well, um. It involves a peculiar use of the language.”
I thought my use of peculiar was kind of clever. He looked confused, a reminder that clever’s not clever if it doesn’t communicate.
3. Do you think teaching is also learning? Why?
Reference:
Yes, because when we are asked to teach what we are supposed to know, things often turn out not as obvious as we thought it to be.
As any hard-bitten city dweller knows, the correct answer to a question like “Can you help me?” should always be some version of “It depends.” I chirped, “Sure.”

What are the first feelings? Well, losing a job, or not being able to find one, almost always brings unwelcome changes. If you've lost a job, the first feeling is often one of shock. As well as the loss of income, many people find the order of their life is broken up, their contact with other people reduced, and their ambitions checked.At first there may be good feelings too--a new and better job is just around the corner--it' s nice to be able to lie in bed in the morning or spend more time with the children; have more time to think. But, unless a better job does turn up, the chances are that the days start getting longer and time becomes harder to fill. Many people pass through periods of difficulty in sleeping and eating, they feel nervous and depressed, often isolated and lonely, and perhaps worst of all, a feeling of being run down sweeps over them.Despite all these problems, though, unemployment can be a chance for a flesh start. You can discover that it provides an opportunity to rethink what you want from life and how best you can get it. You can use the time to plan a new job, learn a new skill, develop your hobbies, see if you can run your own business, do some voluntary work in your neighborhood or meet new people. It's up to you.1. The writer considers that being made redundant __.A. causes people to lose touch with realityB. completely destroys people's livesC. makes people unable to realize their dreamsD. stops people's chances of getting higher pay2. According to the passage, hope in the unemployed is replaced by breakdown when they __.A. can no longer get up late in the morningB. get tired of playing with their childrenC. are unable to gain a better jobD. have nothing left to think about3. One of the disadvantages of continuing unemployment is __.A. the worsening of relationship between husband and wifeB. the lengthening of meaningless lifeC. the feeling of being cheatedD. being separated from others4. The writer's mention of a fresh start suggests that __.A. everyone should change their job sometimesB. the unemployed people are capable of helping themselvesC. unemployment can be of benefit to peopleD. the neighborhood can help the unemployed people5. What is the writer's aim in this passage? __A. To make the unemployed face the cold facts of lifeB. To offer encouragement to the unemployed peopleC. To bring the attention of the government to the problemD. To help solve the problem of unemployment(2)As we have seen in earlier chapters, the American definition of success is largely one of gaining wealth. It is not surprising, therefore, that Americans have valued education for its money value. They believe that the more schooling people have, the more money they will earn when they leave school.Ben Wattenberg, a social scientist reported that in the course of a lifetime a man, with a college degree in 1972 would earn about $ 380,000 more than a man with just a high school diploma. Perhaps this helps to explain the survey findings which showed that Americans who wished they had led their lives differently in some way regretted most of all that they did not get more education.The regret is shared by those who have made it to the top and by those who have not. Reporter Richard Reeves quotes a black worker in a Ford automobile factory:"When I was in the ninth grade, I was getting bad grades. My father came home one night with a pair of Ford work pants and he threw them in my face." Put these on," he said, "because you're going to be wearing them the rest of your life if you don't get an education."Douglas Fraser, the president of the United Auto Workers Union, regretted not finishing high school so much that he occasionally lied about it. He told Richard Reeves about his pride in graduating from high school, but then a few minutes later he said: “I wasn't telling the truth about high school. I never finished. It's funny--after all these years, I still think about it. Because the fact is, I still think it was a stupid thing to do. I should have finished my education."Even a man like Fraser, a nationally known and successful leader, was troubled by regrets that he did not climb higher on the educational ladder.1. What is the main idea of this passage? __.A. Americans place a high value on educationB. Americans believe it is possible, though difficult, to be successful without an advanceddegreeC. Americans believe that the more the education, the higher the salaryD. A basic American value is getting material wealth2. The survey by Ben suggested that people __ regretted most not having got more education.A. who hoped to teachB. who were not satisfied with their own way of livingC. who were proud of their social positionsD. who had left high schools too early3. When the factory worker in the third paragraph was a student, his father __.A. wanted him to start earning his livingB. wanted him to study harderC. wanted him to work with him at the Ford plantD. wanted him to stop wearing such dirty clothes4. Which of the following is TRUE about Douglas Fraser? __.A. He was proud of his high schoolB. He became a successful leader thanks to his educationC. He wished he hadn't dropped out of schoolD. He was a liar5. This passage most likely comes from a book on American __.A. educationB. historyC. economicsD. way of life(3)Let children learn to judge their own-work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, children learning to do all the other thing they learn to do without being taught--to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle-- their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.1. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by __.A.listening to skilled people's adviceB. asking older people many questionsC. making mistakes and having them correctedD. doing what other people do2. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do? __A.Give children correct answersB. Allow children to make mistakesC. Point out children's mistakes to themD. Let children make their own work3. According to the writer, teachers in school should __.A. allow children to learn from each otherB. point out children's mistakes whenever foundC. correct children's mistakes as soon as possibleD. give children more book knowledge4. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are __.A.different from learning other skillsB. the same as learning other skillsC. more important than other skillsD. not really important skills5. The title of this passage could probably be __.A. Let Us Teachers Stop WorkB. Let Us Make Children LearnC. Let Children Correct Their ExercisesD. Let Children Learn By Themselves(4)Anna liked the look of the house as soon as she saw it. Jack knew that before she said anything. The plain white walls, the black window frames and door -- the good taste of that combination had always pleased her."It's a nice family house.” she said. "One can see it's been well lived in."Fifty-seven Eden Square was a narrow house on three floors in the middle of a row facing a small dirty park. It was in what a house agent would call a popular rather than a fashionable area. The little front gate was open, broken. They went in and up a few stone steps to the front door. They could see in through one of the sitting-room windows from which a net curtain had fallen at one side. The large room was almost bare. A dirty green carpet half covered the floor. From an old brick fire-place a gas-fire had been pulled out into the morn. The wall-paper was dark green, dirty, and damp-looking. There was no furniture. Silently they stared in. Then Jack tried the front door. It was locked."It's been empty a long while, "he said. "All last winter at least. Is it worth going to the agent to get the keys? We'd have to do an awful lot of cleaning up.""Any empty house up for sale needs cleaning, "said Anna. "That's part of the fun of buying. You can make it look so different. This place will be a lot better when cleaned up. How much do you think it'll cost?""Well, it's about eighty years old, and modernized probably." He stepped back and looked up. "It should have three or four large bedrooms, as large as I think bedroom ought to be, and one or two small ones. That is, if it wasn't used as a guest house in the days before people started going to Spain for their holidays. I think it would cost about fifteen thousand, It depends on how modern it is inside. We'll get the keys and have a look, shall we?"They did so the following afternoon. In an earlier time, the house had had large, airy bedrooms. All four of these were now divided up by wooden walls and ugly passages. Each big window looking on to the park was shared by two or even three rooms. There were in all eighteen tiny bedrooms, each with a tiny wash-basin and water: sleeping spaces for thirty or so holiday-maker."Little cages," Anna said at last. She did not like the place at all.1. When Anna looked at the house, she __.A. liked its situation very muchB. admired the way it was paintedC. told Jack it was very expensiveD. said there was a nice family living in it2. What do you understand about the situation of the house? __.A. It was in a rather poor part of the placeB. It was in an area which everyone had leftC. The house was part of a new housing developmentD. It was where fashionable people preferred to live3. They knew what the sitting-room was like because __.A. there was no glass in the windowB. Jack managed to get into itC. they examined it in detail from outsideD. the agent had told them about it4. What does the passage tell us about guest houses? __.A. Guest houses always have large, comfortable bedroomsB. The best ones are to he found in SpainC. They are becoming much more popularD. People do not use them as much as they did5. Anna did not like the house because __.A. it was not her idea of a family homeB. it was too expensiveC. it was really a place for keeping animals inD. it needed too much cleaningV.

新标准大学英语综合教程2unit5 Unit 5 Friendship。

Friendship is an important part of our lives. It is a relationship of mutual affection between people. In the fast-paced modern society, the value of friendship is often overlooked. However, it is crucial for our emotional well-being and personal growth. In this unit, we will explore the theme of friendship and learn how to build and maintain meaningful relationships with others.First and foremost, it is essential to understand the qualities of a good friend. A good friend is someone who is trustworthy, supportive, and understanding. They are there for you in times of need and celebrate your successes with you. They listen to you without judgment and offer their help and advice when necessary. In return, you should also be a good friend to others by showing empathy, respect, and loyalty.Furthermore, communication is key in any friendship. It is important to express your thoughts and feelings openly and honestly. Good communication helps to resolve conflicts and misunderstandings, and it also strengthens the bond between friends. In addition, spending quality time together is crucial for building and maintaining friendships. Whether it's going out for a meal, watching a movie, or simply having a heart-to-heart conversation, the time spent together helps to create lasting memories and deepen the connection between friends.Moreover, it is important to be a good listener in a friendship. Sometimes, all a friend needs is a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on. By being present and attentive, you show that you care and value the relationship. It is also important to be supportive and encouraging towards your friends. Whether they are facing challenges or pursuing their dreams, your support and encouragement can make a significant difference in their lives.In addition, it is important to be understanding and forgiving in a friendship. No one is perfect, and conflicts and misunderstandings are inevitable in any relationship. It is important to approach these situations with empathy and understanding, and be willing toforgive and move forward. By doing so, you can strengthen the bond with your friends and create a more positive and harmonious relationship.In conclusion, friendship is a valuable and essential part of our lives. It brings joy, support, and companionship, and contributes to our overall happiness and well-being. By understanding the qualities of a good friend, communicating effectively, spending quality time together, being a good listener, and being supportive and understanding, we can build and maintain meaningful friendships that enrich our lives. Let's cherish and nurture our friendships, for they are truly precious.。

新世纪大学英语综合教程2Unit5TextB课文翻译

Unit 5 Text B信任作者：安迪·鲁尼①昨晚我驾车从宾夕法尼亚州的哈里斯堡赶赴刘易斯堡，其间约有80英里的路程。

天色已晚，我动身又晚了，要是有人问我车开得有多快，我就得根据《美国宪法》第五修正案不予回答，以免自证其罪。

在狭窄的公路上，我的车几次被慢慢爬行的货车挡在后面，左侧是一条严禁超越的白色实线，急得我把拳头握得紧紧的。

②我驾车行驶在一条畅通的公路上，这时前面出现一个有交通指示灯的十字路口。

公路上就我一个。

我的车刚驶近路口，红灯就亮了，我赶紧刹住了车。

我环顾四周，什么也没看到。

没有一辆汽车，连车灯的影子都没有。

尽管如此，我还是一直端坐着，等待指示灯的转换。

至少在周围一英里范围内，只有我一个人。

③我开始琢磨起自己为什么不肯闯红灯这个问题来。

我并不是害怕被抓住，因为周围根本没有警察，即使闯红灯也不会有什么危险。

④当晚在刘易斯堡会见了不少人，半夜时分我才上床。

自己为什么不肯闯红灯的问题又一次回到我的脑海中。

我想我之所以停车，是因为这是我们大家彼此之间契约的一部分，不仅是法律，也是我们的协议，而且我们相信人人都会遵守这一协议：我们不闯红灯。

跟绝大多数人一样，我之所以不做坏事，主要是因为做坏事为社会习俗所不容，而不是害怕哪条法规。

⑤我们竟然相信彼此会做正确的事情，这着实令人惊奇，不是吗？而我们也确实会做正确的事情。

信任是我们的第一心理取向。

怀疑某人或对某事起疑心，我们要有意为之。

猜忌与怀疑并不是我们的本能反应。

⑥这的确令人非常欣慰，因为我们的整个社会体系依赖于人们的相互信任，而不是猜疑。

如果我们在大部分时间里不能相互信任，那么我们享有其利益的整个社会体系就会分崩离析。

在意大利，政府很难收到税款，因为很多人公然不缴所得税。

在美国，国内税务局也做出姿态说要执行法律，但政府主要还得靠信任，相信公民会依法纳税。

在美国时常听到有人扬言要抗税，最近的例子是密歇根州的一些失业汽车工人。

我们的政府也基本承认，如果“抗税”蔓延开来，政府将束手无策。

新世纪⼤学英语综合教学教程第⼆册Unit5答案解析Listen and RespondTask One Focusing on the Main IdeasChoose the best answer to complete each of the following sentences according to the information contained in the listening passage.1 The philosophy professor began his lesson by ________.A) asking the students to be well seatedB) playing a game with the studentsC) asking the students to do a test on philosophyD) filling a large and empty glass bottle with rocks2 The professor put the items into the jar in the order of ________.A) rocks, beer, sand and pebblesB) rocks, pebbles, sand and beerC) sand, rocks, beer and pebblesD) pebbles, rocks, beer and sand3 According to the professor the rocks represent ________.A) different kinds of things in our lifeB) the things that matter in our life, like our job or our houseC) the most important things in our life, like our family or our healthD) the small stuff in our life4 The professor poured some beer into the jar because he wanted to________.A) mix the beer and the sand togetherB) arouse his students’curiosity about natureC) draw his students’attention to the small things in their lifeD) prove that even if our life may seem very full, there is always room for some enjoyment5 The message the professor tried to put across in his lecture is that________.A) we should try our best to keep balance between our work and healthB) we should set priorities in our life and take care of the most important things firstC) we should pay attention to both the big things and the small stuff in our lifeD) no matter how full our life may seem, we can always enjoy a couple of beersTask Two Zooming In on the DetailsListen to the recording again and fill in each of the blanks according to what you have heard.1 A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the desk in front of him. When the final student wasseated he picked up a large and empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks . He then asked the students if the jar was full . They agreed that it was.2 He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar, shaking it lightly. The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks. After that he poured some sand into bottle. The sand filled in everything else. Finally he took 2 cans of beer and poured it into the jar.3 Through this the professor wanted his students to recognize that this jar represents our life. The rocks are the important things in our life, like our family, our health …things that would still remain even if everything else were lost, and our life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter —like our job or our house. The sand is the small stuff in our life. If we put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. So he told his students to set their priorities and pay attention to things that are critical to their happiness: their family, their health …The else is just sand. Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why does Helen Keller think that it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow?Because she believes that such an attitude would emphasize sharply the value of life.2) According to Helen Keller, what is the right way to live each day? According to Helen Keller, we should live each day witha gentleness, a vigour, and a keenness of appreciation.3) What does Helen Keller mean by saying that most of us take life for granted?Although we all know that we will die sooner or later, we tend to picture that day as far in the future. So, we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life. In other words, we take life for granted.4) What does Helen Keller think of the attitude that most of us adopt towards our faculties and senses?She thinks that we tend to take our abilities to see and hear for granted and seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. That is why we often fail to make our life fuller and richer.5) Why does Helen Keller think that it would be a blessing if each of us were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during our early adult life?Because darkness would make us more appreciative of sight and silence would teach us the joys of sound.2 Text A can be divided into two parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part: One; Paragraph(s): 1- 4; Main Idea: Most of us take life for granted. The author suggests that we live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation as if we should die tomorrow.Part: Two; Paragraph(s): 5–10; Main Idea: We should also make full use of our faculties and senses so as to live a fuller and richer life.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicized parts.1) What events, what experiences, what associations, should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? (Para. 2) Suppose we know we are to die in just a few hours’time. What should we think about doing during our last hours?2) We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. (Para. 4)…but often we think of our death as something that will only happen many years later.3) Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. (Para. 5)This is especially true of the people who have become blind and deaf after they have grown up.4) To me the colorful seasons are a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips. (Para. 8)It seems to me that the change of seasons is like an exciting drama and I can fully appreciate what is going on there just by my sense of touch.。
