The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of this bird ' s mouth was rude. John tried every method to change the bird ' s attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, and anything he could think of to set a good example. Nothing worked. Finally, John got fed up and he yelled at the parrot. And the bird yelled back. John shook the parrot, and the bird got angrier and ruder. Finally, in a moment of desperation, John put the bird in the refrigerator freezer. For a few minutes, John heard the bird scream and kick.Then suddenly there was silence. Not a sound for over a minute. Fearing that he ' s hurt the bird, John quickly opened thedoor to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out and said, “I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I am truly sorry, and I will do everything I can to correct my poor behavior. ”John was greatly surprised at the bird ' s change of attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had caused such a sudden change in his behavior, the bird continued, “ May Ii ask why you put the chickens there and what they did wrong? ”1.C2.D3.B4.C5.AIV.

Maybe the park is a good idea.Laura: Maybe they should just allow people to walk their dogs on the streets.Bob: But in many large cities where dogs can be walked, the streets are a mess . I heard Paris is the worst.Laura: Couldn ' t people just clean up after their dogs ?Bob: Would they ?Now Your TurnA Have you heard the city has passes a law against walking dogs in the streets?B: Sure, it ' s published in the newspapers.A It means that dogs have to be kept inside all the time.B: It ' s rather cruel, isn ' t it?

Any other tips on getting starded?V. Let ' s TalkAn Intelligent DogA black dog walked into a butcher ' s shop with a five-dollar bill in his mouth. He spent several minutes looking at the meat on display. He finally fixed his eyes on the lamb chops and barked, showing that he wanted to buy some of them. The butcher, thinking the dog wouldn ' t know the difference, picked out the worst chops. The dog barked angrily and continued to bark until the butcher selected the finest chops. After the butcher took the money from the dog ' s mouth, the dog picked up the chops and left the shop.The butcher was deeply impressed and decided that he would like to own a clever dog like that. He closed up shop and followed the dog to see where it went. The dog entered an apartment house, climbed to the third floor, and began to scratch on the door. With that, the dooropened and an angry man started yelling at the dog. As he did so, the butcher stepped forward to ask the man to stop. “What are you doing? ” That ' s the smartest animal I ' ve ever seen! Surely it doesn ' t deserve this kind of treatment. ” The butcher then went on to explain how the dog had bought the best lamb chops in the shop. The man looked at the butcher from the corner of his eye and said, “I don ' t think he ' s so intelligent. You see, this is thirdtime this week he ' s forgotten his key. ”VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: A Birthday PresentMary: David, how did your mom like the dog you gave her for a birthday gift?David: Oh, Mary, she was delighted. It licked her hand and wagged its tail and she was hooked.Mary: What did she call it?David: She' s calling it “ Brian ” , after a friend of hers.Mary: Your mom always did have a sense of humor. I read somewhere that dogs can become very close to their owners.David: I ' ve heard that. I saw an interview on TV with a man who had epileptic attacks, and his dog would warn him beforehe would have an attack.Mary: Really? I wonder how they can do that1David: It ahs something to do with the dog ' s sense of smell. It ' s very keen.Mary: Do you think Brian will be able to foretell when your mom is going to roast a chicken?After David gave his mom a dog as a birthday present, she was very pleased, for the dog licked her hand and wagged its tail.She called it Brian after one of her friends. Mary read an article which says that dogs can be faithful to their owners/mastersDavid agreed, for he saw a TV interview which introduced a dog that could warn its master of an epileptic attack . He explained that this ability of the dog ' s has something to do with its keen sense of smell . Jokingly, Mary said she wounded whetherthe dog Brian can foretell/predict when David ' s mom is going to roast a chicken .Task 2: 100 Percent Polar BearOne afternoon in the Arctic, a father polar bear and his son polar bear were sitting in the snow. The son turned to his father and asked, “Dad, am I 100 percent polar bear? ”“ Of course, son, you ' re 100 percent polar bear. ”A few minutes passed, and the bear turned to his father again and said, “ Dad, tell me the truth. I can take it. Am I 100percent polar bear? No brown bear or panda bear? ”“Son, I ' m 100 percent polar bear and your mother is 100 percent polarbear, so you' re certainly 100 percent polar bear. ”A few minutes passed, and the son polar bear again turned to his father and asked, “ Dad, don't worry. But it ' ll hurt myfeelings if it ' s not true. I really need to know , am I really 100 percent polar bear? ”Somewhat angered by this continued questioning, the father polar bear yelled at his son, “ Why on earth do you keep askingis you ' re 100 percent polar bear? ”“ Because I ' m freezing to death out here! ”1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FTask 3: An Introduction to Advertising“Are you ready to go to work? ” a woman asks her dog Sydney. The dog was her tail. Then she starts sniffing around insidethe house. Sydney is hunting for mold. When she sits down, that means she smells mold nearby. Usually mold is found withinthree or four feet. A boy who lives in this house has epileptic attacks. It could be from mold. His mother wanted to findthe mold. She tried other ways to find it, but they didn ' t work. She said she trusted the dog more than the other ways.Workers found mold near where Sydney sat. Nobody had thought to look for mold there before. Now it can be cleaned out and the boy will feel much better.Sydney is very special. Only about ten animals in the U.S. can do this. She spent hundreds of hours with a police dog trainerin Florida to learn how. In the U.S., people have used dogs to find drugs and bombs for a long time, but dogs that find mold are something new. People in Europe have used mold-sniffing dogs for many years. Dogs are cheaper to use than human trackers and can find exactly where the mold is. They also do it quickly and for less than %500. Other methods may cost thousands of dollars and take many weeks.1.D2.C3.B4.A5.DSpeakingA Funeral for a Dead FishNancy: Westerners often take pets as their friends, even their family members. Especially dogs They think dogs are man ' s best friends.Michael: What pets do people usually keep?Nancy: A lot. Fish, cats, horses , anything could be a pet.Michael: Do you have a pet?Nancy: I have three fish. One day, the fish called Susan died. We even had a funeral for her. Michael: A funeral?Nancy: Yes, usually it ' s a ceremony for dead people. But we had a funeral for the dead fish.Michael: Sounds interesting.Nancy: Well, I need to go back to feed my fish. Talk to you later.Michael: OK, bye.。

新视界大学英语第2册第5单元课文翻译及练习答案
新视界大学英语综合教程第五单元课文翻译及练习答案Active Reading闲暇无为——抑或如何歇着无所事事几个世纪以前，人们没有多少闲暇时间，因为大家都在辛苦劳作。
在19世纪的英国，人们有了较多的空闲时间，但是维多利亚时代的人认为无所事事地歇着是一种罪。
于是，为了避免其诱惑，他们发明了足球和板球。
他们还开始从事更温和的休闲活动，如观鸟、园艺，甚至可能只是观看一项运动。
这给他们一种有事可做的满足感。
其中的一个例子是板球，这是一种规则怪异的奇特运动，比赛一连五天也没有任何进展，最后球员常常决定比赛以平局而告终。
但是所有的球员和观众都对这种毫无结果的比赛感到心满意足。
这就是我们现在称之为闲暇无为的一个很好的例子。
近年来，闲暇无为中的互动渐渐地变得更少了。
20世纪90年代，一种新的休闲方式诞生了，一些人认为躺在沙发上看电视体育节目或是DVD是他们能做的最令人激动的闲暇无为活动了。
这种人就是沙发土豆。
那么，谁想成为沙发土豆呢？实际上，许多人都想，而且都有很好的理由。
也许是一周中的休息日，也许是刚下班或放学回来，也许是疲惫不堪时想放松一下，对于沙发土豆来说，其他所有活动都太麻烦了，而懒散悠闲才是一种艺术。
怎么成为沙发土豆呢？那很容易。
找个舒适的地方坐下，比如一张很不错的软椅，或者……你知道接下来是什么……一张沙发。
别坐在土豆上。
确定你需要的所有东西都备好了：零食（尤其是炸薯片——真正的沙发土豆不会吃别的任何东西）、饮料、杂志和电视。
最重要的一个装备当然是遥控器了。
如果没有无需离开沙发就能改换频道的自由，那沙发土豆就徒有虚名了。
实际上，如果看电视不拿遥控器，就有类似于锻炼身体的危险了，这也许是应该避免的。
现在开始看电视吧。
要每十秒换一次频道，然后照此一直换下去。
尽可能快速地失去注意力，好让你保持一个沙发土豆的状态。
（记住，你的注意力持续时间和土豆的一样长。
）最后，请别人帮你做事，如再拿点吃的，或租张影碟。
然而，对他们的态度一定要好！如果态度不好，你很可能要自己做这些事了。

What would you like to say to the students who are not sufficiently appreciative of what they have now but idle away their time on campus? Write an essay of about 150 words with the tips given above.It’s natural, and perhaps human, for people to feel overjoyed when given acknowledgement and honor. However, in Text B the author has more than just happiness to share with us about her success and honour. What is it then? Do you get the message the author tries to convey? Think about, for example, your admission to college, a success of some degree for you and your family. Did you receive support, help, and encouragement from your family members, teachers, and friends? When looking back on your journey to the college, what do you want to say to them? Write an essay of about 150 words to share your feelings with your classmates.▆Sample Essay for Task 1:Today, many college students are from single-child families. Growing up in such environments, they tend to take for granted what they have. Some even develop bad habits and character flaws such as self-will, lack ofresponsibility and selfishness.In my opinion, taking a listless attitude toward life is extremely harmful to them. With such a negative attitude, they fail to appreciate the advantages they enjoy. They waste away their precious time, seeking pleasure in running after pop stars or indulging in computer games. In the end, they may have to leave college without having acquired any useful skills or knowledge.Sometimes I think it is good for us to think more of the young people who are still struggling for their lives and education. Such an attitude would certainly impel us to cherish more our college life. And life would be more meaningful if we treat it with a gentleness, a vigor and keenness of appreciation.▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Being admitted to college was an important turning point in my life. I would never have been able to make it without the help and support of my parents, teachers and classmates.Throughout the time I was preparing for the entrance examination my parents were always there to back me up. They allowed me to make my own decisions about which major I wanted to pursue. What’s more, they had full confidence in me.I was lucky enough to have had fine teachers and kind classmates. My teachers were patient and competent to explain the problems I did notunderstand; my classmates helped me and encouraged me all the time. We shared our hopes and anxieties together. That was a memorable time in my life!I didn’t achieve everything alone. I owe a lot to those who have helped me to get where I am.。

Even in bad weather. And its nearly always the men as well.And they can be so bad- tempered if you get too close.It would be nice just to go for a walklike they do in Italy and Greece, just before dinner,when everyone gets dressed up,and walks up and down the main street,looking at each other, and meeting friends.But you couldn't do that here, because it would start raining ... True.So what's on television。

At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).Passage OneAccording to a recent study, the modern lifestyle, which puts peopleunder constant stress, could damage major organs and lead to heartattacks and kidney diseases. For example, due to the stress of modernlife, uncontrolled high blood pressure among people in their 30s, 40sand 50s will lead to an increase in heart disease and stroke.Everyone has an inner space and an outer space. The inner space is hisbody, mind and emotions. The outer space refers to material riches,luxuries and comforts. Lifestyle disorders are caused due to poverty ininner space and richness in outer space. Nobody cares for changing theinner space while everybody wants to change the outer space. Thisimbalance between the inner and outer spaces brings about a change inmind, brain and consciousness for living in health, harmony andhappiness. But we should remember that lifestyle is achoice that comes from mind. Mind is confused by outer space. Peace isour essential nature. So we have to choose peace or reject it for the sakeof outer space. What is required is to change the mind. Noouter means can bring about change in inner space. Modern scientistsand researchers who are always looking for the material cause in theouter space will never find any solution even if they spend millions inresearch.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.1.The modern lifestyle could lead to ____ diseases.A.eyeB.lungC.liverD.heart2.What is included in one's "outer space"?A.Emotional needs.B.Spiritual needs.C.Material comforts.D.Freedom of mind.3.Lifestyle disorders are caused by _____ in outer space and ____ ininner space.A.poverty ... richnessB.richness ... povertyC.balance ... imbalanceD.imbalance ... balance4.The choice of lifestyle comes from _____.A.lifeB.mindC.environmentD.belief5.Modern scientists and researchers who are looking for the materialcause of the lifestyle problem _____.A.will solve the problem for the time beingB.don't understand the importance of inner spaceC.will never solve the problemD.will make the problem worsePassage TwoThe word DINK (D-I-N-K) stands for "Double Income, No Kids", meaning plenty of money for couples to live and no children to take care of. Despite a pleasant life, DINKs will never know the joy and pride of bringing up sons and daughters and seeing them develop into useful citizens. But what are the reasons for the DINKs?In the new economy, industry offers pay and benefits to attract talented women who compete with men in the marketplace. Many choose careers and work challenge instead of family. Before the sweeping <i>Civil Rights Act</i> of 1964, employers paid fathers a "family wage" so wives and children wouldn't have to work. But now the rights of individuals are more important than family requirements.As women make more money and men make less money, marriage and family size suffered. Young men earned too little for marriage and a family. Young women found independence and delayed marriage, or just didn't marry at all. Some settled for the DINK role. In the 1960s and 1970s, people were warned of coming world starvation because of population growth and inadequate food production. The result is population control programs in the First World."Women's Liberation" movement has freed women of their roles of wife, mother and homemaker. As a result, more and more women choose not to marry or not to have children. One of the family trends is to take the DINK role.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.1.DINK stands for _____.A.Double Investment, No KidsB.Double Income, No KidsC.Decent Investment, No KidsD.Decent Income, No Kids2.Talented women compete with men in the marketplace _____.A.for higher payB.for more benefitsC.in the new centuryD.in the new economy3.Before 1964, wives didn't have to work because of the _____.A.welfare programernment assistanceC.family wageD.corporate benefits4.What is TRUE about the warning of world starvation in the 1960s and1970s?A.It resulted in population control programs.B.Most people did not take it seriously.C.It was caused by environmental pollution.D.It led to many divorces in the United States.5.Women were freed of their roles of wife, mother and ____ in the"Women's Liberation".A.cookB.house cleanerC.homemakerD.bookkeeperDirections: In this section, you will hear several sentences. Listen carefully and then repeat.There are more and more househusbands every year.People are getting married very late these days.When they have children, the wife then stays at home to take care of thechildren.Children live with their parents until they get married.I really admire my sister’s style. She’s very independent.Directions: There is a short text shown on the computer screen (as is shown below). You are required to read the text aloud. Your voice will be recorded into the system. You'll have 1 minute for preparation and then you are required to begin reading when hearing the beginning signal sound and stop it when hearing the ending signal sound. Your reading should be limited within 1.5 minutes. Now you have 1 minute to prepare.My fashion sense and IQ have declined steadily over the years since Ifirst became a mom. Once I became a parent, I cared much more aboutwhat my children were wearing than what I should wear. Now that I'ma grandmother, I think I'm fashion-challenged. Today'sfashion trends are a little easier to live with than some of those in thepast. I see girls dressing more like girls than a few years ago. They arewearing more skirts and dresses.
