One cannot help but sympathize with the lover who, gazing upon the object of his affection face-to-face, becomes overwhelmed and lost for words. Here distance may help. For separation not only makes the heart grow fonder, it also provides the perfect excuse for a(n) exchange of love letters in which the tongue-tied lover can give a more impressive display of his innermost thoughts. Unable to bring himself to speak freely about his feelings, with pen and paper on hand he may nonetheless easily fill pages withfine words. Watered by these, love will hopefully bloom.4.2 Translation1. George longs for a chance to meet her, but he can’t bring himself to tell herabout it.2.

Key to Unit 2
Unit 2Part I Listening TaskScript for the recording:We're going to see more and more automation as time goes on. Making a car that goes more than 100 km/h isn't a huge engineering problem — but human drivers can't respond fast enough to make those speeds safe. Personally, I'm all in favor of letting the car drive itself. I'd much rather trust my life to the efforts of engineers and programmers than the angry, sleepy, distracted, incompetent, drunken people who are behind a lot of wheels now.It's often been said that anyone could have predicted the automobile, but only a science-fiction writer could have predicted the traffic jam. Well, here I am predicting the end of traffic jams: computer-controlled cars won't get in each other's way, and they won't slow down as their drivers gaze at accidents — in part because there will be many fewer accidents, and in part because the passengers in the car will be able to get a decent look without the car going at a slower speed.There really are a lot of pluses to the self-driving car: you can sleep, drink, read, watch TV, do work — whatever you want — while getting safely and efficiently to your destination. For my money, we can't make the transition soon enough. "Road rage" will be a thing of the past; there's no reason driving should be frustrating, or why car accidents should be the leading cause of death of men under the age of 25.Still, there will be a desire to get out on the open highway and just drive — people do enjoy that, and it won't entirely disappear. But in the future when we talk about hybrid cars we'll mean cars that can be both self-driven and controlled by a driver; the terms "manual" and "automatic" won't refer to transmissions but the totality of operating the vehicle. So, yeah, you can get out on the highway when the mood strikes you —but most of the other vehicles will still be driving themselves.After Listening1. the efforts of engineers and programmers2. traffic jams3. the leading cause of death4. a hybridPart II Reading taskComprehensionPossible answers to content questions1. The automobile industry ranked as among the most lucrative and powerful industries of the twentieth century.2. Cars and roads will be revolutionized in the twenty-first century.3. Because it is sensors that will enable vehicles and roads to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, talk, and act.4. Sensors can sense if a driver is drunk and refuse to start up the engine.5. The radars hidden in the bumpers can scan for nearby cars. If you make a serious drivingmistake the computer will sound an immediate warning.6. If the driver's eyelids close for a certain length of time and his or her driving becomes erratic,a computer in the dashboard could alert the driver.7. GPS makes it possible for smart cars to determine their location on the earth to within about a hundred feet.8. With the price of microchips dropping so drastically, future applications of GPS are virtually limitless.9. It is expected to put smart cars on smart highways.10. They are installing an MIT-designed system which will introduce the "automated driver".11. They have great hopes for its future. By 2010, telematics may well be incorporated into one of the major highways in the United States. By 2020, telematics could be adopted in thousands of miles of highways in the United States.12. Smart highways could be an environmental boon, saving fuel, reducing traffic jams, decreasing air pollution, and serving as an alternative to highway expansion.Text Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-3 New technology will have a dramatic impact on cars andhighways in the 21st century.Part Two Paras 4–9 With the aid of advanced technology, smart cars will be sodesigned that they can help eliminate traffic accidents,determine their own precise locations and warn of trafficjams.Part Three Paras 10 –13 GPS and "telematics" will make it possible to build smarthighways, which will benefit us in a number of ways.2.1) Smart cars can see, hear, feel, smell, talk, and act.2) They can eliminate most of car accidents;3) They can alert the police and provide precise location of your car if stolen;4) They can monitor one's driving and the driving conditions nearby;5) They can alert the driver who feels drowsy;6) They can locate your car precisely and warn of traffic jams.Language Sense Enhancement1.1) cure 2) impact3) orbiting satellites 4) warn of5) location 6) At any given time7) vibrate 8) detected9) calculate 10) convertedVocabularyI1.1) expansion 2) automated3) vapor 4) take control of5) hazards 6) satellite7) vibrated 8) magnetic9) bunched 10) in the air11) got/was stuck in 12) approximately2.1) send out 2) stand up for3) pass for 4) were closing in on5) starting up 6) went through7) fill out 8) fall into3.1) The new car design incorporates all the latest safety features2) To suspend our hammock, we need to find two trees ten feet apart.3) Jason faces up to 10 years in prison for offering bribery money to the US navy official responsible for awarding lucrative contracts to his construction firm.4) Manufacturers usually begin by building the prototype of a new model before they set up a factory to make the cars.5) Medical evidence shows that smoking and lung cancer are correlated in all racial groups.4.1) In the 1980s the notion that a car would drive itself was science fiction; today with the application of telematics and remote control, it almost has turned into a reality. Presently lots of the world’s leading automobile companies are poised to launch new smart cars.2) Sounds are produced by objects that vibrate in the air at a rate that the ear can detect. This rate is called frequency and is measured in hertz, or vibrations per second.3) Reflective devices are more visible at night and are used in some locations to mark lanes and other significant places on the road. What's more, automated vehicle-control technologies are presently under development to improve highway safety. These devices are mounted in the vehicle and can alert a driver to an impending hazard or, in an emergency, override the actions of the driver.II.

On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.Part III Home Reading TaskComprehension Check1. a2. c3. c4. d5. b6. bTranslation1. 这类系统易受气候变化的影响，提供的数据不够精确，但它们不需要特别的道路设施，只需要将车道标志维护好就行了。

Suggested answer to question (2) is provided for reference.(2) What do you take into consideration while making choices? Always decide on “what you should” or “what you want”?While making choices, I will take into consideration my personal preferences, other people‟s expectations, rules of the community, the law and the universally acknowledged moral standards.Sometimes I will decide on “what I want” if it‟s in line with the rules, the law and moral standards and it‟s mainly concerned with options about me and my future.But if “what I want” is against the rules, the law and moral standards, I will decide on “what I should”.Choosing “what we should” doesn‟t mean we have to unwillingly sacrifice our benefits. On the contrary, it‟s the best for us. We pl ay different roles in the society and we should be responsible for the roles we are playing. If human beings have no rules, laws or moral standards, the society will turn into a battlefield, where people are doing whatever they like and fighting for whatever they want, like animals. Only with the existence of rules, laws and moral standards, can we have true freedom, happiness as well as a harmonious society.。

Mr. James.Section 2 Telephoning EffectivelyOn the phone the image of a company relies heavily on the speaker’s speaking skills. The customer’s impression of the company is determined completely by the speaker’s voice and choice of words. Telephoning skill is not a natural talent but a learned skill. Here are some tips to help a secretary make better communications through the telephone.Speak clearly and more slowly than usual. Be particularly clear when saying one’s name and the name of one’s organization, and take the chance to repeat them, particularly at the end of the call.Speak with more energy. Telephones tend to make one’s voice sound less lively as it really is, so try to give increased interest in and enthusiasm for what the secretary is saying.When necessary ‘smile with one’s voice’. A smile on one’s face is reflected in one’s voice, and will help the secretary avoid speaking in the same tone all the time.Be and sound polite, professional, understanding, helpful, and friendly. Much of the secret is simply good manners and attention. Be a good listener.Explain things in an understandable way. Don’t use special terms or assume that a customer knows the business or industry. The secretary should speak without accent to make the communication easier.Make it easy to be contacted. Customers shouldn’t have to talk to half a dozen people before they can find one who can help. They shouldn’t be given another number or told to call back later. Usually they should betransferred through to the right person, or if that’s impossible, th e right person should call them back.Respond promptly to phone calls. Prompt response will give a customer the impression that one’s company is very efficient. And if the secretary promises to call back, he or she should do this as soon as possible.Know how to use all the buttons on the phone, and in particular how to transfer a call without losing it. Simple things like these make all the difference when dealing with people over the phone.Section 3 Writing a Letter of CongratulationA: In today’s recruitment examination for secretary, we are required to write a letter to introduce a new employee to the company’s business associate. But I don’t think I’ve done a good job.B: Why not? A letter of introduction is not very difficult to write because the purpose of such a letter is only to introduce one person to another. It is not a reference letter to present a person's qualifications, so an introductory letter must be written to the point.A: What should be included in it?B: Three points are necessary for it. One is to provide the full name of the person being introduced. Second is to give an explanation for the purpose and reason of the introduction. Third is to make a very brief description of the person being introduced. Some letters may have a forth part to express the writer’s appreciation.A: Is there anything to pay special attention to?B: Well, maybe, when you describe the person being introduced, try to make him or her sound interesting rather than overdo the compliment. A: Ok, I see. Thank you very muchExample of letter of introductionDear Mr. Huxley,It’s our great pleasure to introduce to you Bob Sherman, our new sales manager, who became our colleague in August.Bob has a wealth of background in ceramic industries, including both manufacturing process and international trade practice. Not many people have such complete experience with the toys they are selling.We are delighted with Bob’s resourcefulness and we know you will soon find him helpful to your business.Best regards,Henry CollinsSection 4 Getting to Know Diplomacy (1)A: Do you know how diplomacy is defined?B:I can only tell you what the Oxford Dictionary says about it. It says, “Diplomacy is the management of international relations by negotiation; the method by which these relations are adjusted and managed by ambassadors and envoys.”A:I think this definition covers the nature and the content of diplomacy. In short, the substance of diplomacy is to adjust the relationship between states through negotiations which are mainly carried out by diplomats. .B: The word “diplomacy” comes from the ancient Greek word “diploma” which means a folded document used for identification and request for favour or privilege.A:What’s a diplomat? What do they usuall y do?B: A diplomat is a person who represents his/ her country in dealing with another country. They usually execute the foreign policies of the states they represent and learn the situation, external or internal, in the countries they are appointed to and serve as the eyes and ears of their governments in other countries.A: How about the origin of diplomacy? Anything you know about it?B: Well,diplomatic activities are found in all civilizations such as Chinese, Indian, Egyptian civilizations. Take China for example. During the period of the Warring States (beginning about the middle of the fifth century B.C.), a political and military alliance against the Kingdom of Qin known in history as “the Vertical Alliance” was formed by the Kingdoms of Qi, Chu,Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei. And a counter alliance, known as “the Horizontal Alliance”, was organized by Qin and its followers.A: In this sense, I think the Chibi Battle is another example of an ancient diplomatic activity. ZhuGe-liang was sent as the special envoy of Shu State to the Kingdom of Wu to effect a military alliance against Wei State which, as a result, suffered a crushing defeat in the battle, and this laid the groundwork for the situation of tripartite rivalry.B: You are absolutely right. These can be seen as some earliest forms of modern diplomacy and from them we can see how diplomacy has been done till now.A:Oh, there goes the bell. Let’s go to class.B: Yes, let’s.译文：秘书怎样接打电话第一部分对话1下午好，这是皇家宾馆吗？是的，夫人，可帮您做什么？我是东方贸易公司的，想为凌云先生订房。

So as long as you get on with the work (and don‟t leave it until thelast minute!) the pressure is not too bad and we can manage.A good read Unit 2676 Translate the paragraph into Chinese.Indubitably the vast majority of books overlap one another. Few indeed are those which give theimpression of originality, either in style or in content. Rare are the unique books – less than 50, perhaps,out of the whole storehouse of literature. In one of his recent autobiographical novels, Blaise Cendrarspoints out that Rémy de Gourmont, because of his knowledge and awareness of this repetitive qualityin books, was able to select and read all that is worthwhile in the entire realm of literature. Cendrarshimself – who would suspect it? – is a prodigious reader. He reads most authors in their original tongue.Not only that, but when he likes an author he reads every last book the man has written, as well as hisletters and all the books that have been written about him. In our day his case is almostunparalleled, Iimagine. For, not only has he read widely and deeply, but he has himself written a great many books. Allon the side, as it were. For, if he is anything, Cendrars, he is a man of action, an adventurer and explorer,a man who has known how to “waste” his time royally. He is, in a sense, the Julius Caesar of literature.（几处倒装句应灵活处理，以体现原文语气。
