Background informationGuinness Book of World Records.In 1955, Norris and his twin brother Ross edited the first Guinness Book of World Records. The book was first designed to record the then extremes in, on and beyond the Earth — notably in human performance and of the natural world. The name “Guinness” derives from the Guinness Brewery in Dublin, which was Ireland’s largest company. It is in London now. The book is now published worldwide in 23 different languages.The Sunday TimesThe Sunday Times is an influential Sunday newspaper published in London, England. It is known around the world for the quality of its reporting and editing and for its coverage of British politics and the arts. Founded in 1822 as a nationally circulated paper with an independent editorial policy, The Sunday Times reflects the dignified, carefully written, and well-edited character of its daily counterpart The Times.4. Skill learning in writing and readingA) Writing Skill: Coming up with examples to support the general statement. When writing, we usually put forward some general statements, then we list several examples to illustrate the general statementsNow, analyze the following sample paragraph:No one is smart at everything or smart all the time. Einstein, for instance, failed many classes in grammar school because of his terrible spelling. And he was well known among his colleagues for being forgetful. He was alwayslosing his keys, and one famous day he came to work with a clothes hanger still inside his jacket.General statement: No one is smart at everything or smart all the time. Example1:Einstein, for instance, failed many classes in grammar school because of his terrible spelling.Example2: And he was well-known among his colleagues for being forgetful. He was always losing his keys, and one famous day he came to work with a clothes hanger still inside his jacket.B) Reading Skill: Understanding the figurative languageAuthors often use figures of speech, or figurative language, to make their writing lively and memorable. Like idiomatic expressions, figures of speech can be confusing if you try to understand them literally—but for effective readers, who know how to recognize and interpret them, figures of speech can help you understand the author’s meaning more deeply and think about ideas in new ways.Comparisons, personification and symbolism etc. are all figurative languages.5. Language points1) He has been proclaimed "the finest mind alive"... (para1) Paraphrase ---He has been declared the most intelligent man who is living today...alive:adj. (predicative) having life; livingExamples:The doctors are trying every possible means to keep him alive.It is reported that more than forty people were burned alive in yesterday’s fire Cf.living :adj. (attributive)Examples:A living language is a language that is always changing.I have no living relatives in my hometown.2) Known to millions, far and wide, for his book A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking is a star scientist in more ways than one. (para1)far and wide: (also far and near) everywhere; over a great distance) Examples:The couple looked far and wide for the missing diamond ring.People came from far and near to see the circus.Since he retired, he has traveled far and wide.3) His gift for revealing the mysteries of the universe in a style that non-scientists can enjoy made Hawking an instant celebrity and his book abestseller in both Britain and America. (para1)Paraphrase ---His ability to explain the complexities of the universe in a way that the average non-professional readers can understand and appreciate soon made him well known and his book best-selling in both Britain and America.bestseller :n. anything, especially a book, that has a large sale4) earn a place in the Guinness Book of Record…(para1)Paraphrase ---be carried in the Guinness Book of Records (for its success) earn : vt. get (something that one deserves) because of one's qualities; deserveExamples:He has earned his place in history.She earned the promotion from a salesgirl to a sales manager.After that, Sharon earned a reputation for honesty.5) …spending 184 weeks in The Sunday Times "top-ten" lists (para1)Paraphrase ---being among the weekly top best-sellers listed by TheSunday Times for as long as 184 weeks6)…virtually unheard-of success for a science book (para1) Paraphrase ---success which is almost never heard of in the case of science booksvirtually :ad. practically; nearly; almostExamples:Last night's frost was unprecedented, virtually every flower in the garden was killedThese small errors are virtually impossible to detect within such a period of timeMany species of wild animals have virtually disappeared from the earth7)How has a man who is almost completely paralyzed and unable to speak except through a computer overcome these incredible obstacles and achieved far more than most people ever dream of?

The family car was a London taxi, bought for 50 dollars. (para3)Paraphrase ---Carpets and furniture would not be replaced by new ones until they broke; the wallpaper came off and hung for old age. The family car was a second-hand car bought for ￡50 from a London taxi company.The description of Hawking's parents' house suggests their "eccentric “behaviors in other people's eyes and, on the other hand, their thrift in life: they would rather buy themselves in a roomful of books than have any comforts in their house.peel:vi. A) come offExamples:After the sunburn, my husband's skin peeled.The paint on the shed is peeling.B) strip skin or bark fromExamples:Mother wanted Charlie to peel some potatoes for salad.The Indians peeled the bark from trees to make canoes.11) Hawking has always been fascinated by his birth date...

In the case of "eye", literally it means an organ of sight, as in "He closed his left eye and opened his right eye", while figuratively it means the mind's eye or observation, as in "To her expert eye, the painting was terrible."14) In a sense, he was responsible for the age of science we now enjoy.(para5)Paraphrase --- To a certain extent, we owe it to Galileo that we are now in a world with rapid development of science.in a/one sense : to some degree; partlyExamples:You are right in a sense, but you don't know all the facts.We are, in a sense, being deceitful if we tell them so.15) He was part of a small elite group, the brightest of the bright students.(para6)Paraphrase --- He was one of a small group of intelligent students, thebrightest few among the bright students.16) hang around together (para6)Paraphrase ---spend a lot of time together17)… at once an intellectual giant and liberal activist (para6)Paraphrase ---a person with both unusual intellectual power and progressive views in politics, morals, etc.at once : at the same timeExamples:All three boys spoke at once.The book is at once instructive and amusing.When there's more than one conversation going on at on at once, you can’t hear anything.intellectual: adj. having or showing power of the mind; needing or using power of the mindExamples:He's quite bright but he's not what you should describe as intellectual.Thinking is an intellectual process.Cf.intelligent : adj. having or showing understanding; able to learn and know Examples:Dolphins are intelligent animals.Scientists believe that there are intelligent life existing beyond our solarsystem.An intellectual person is one who has developed his brain and is highly educated, and is interested in subjects that exercise the mind, while an intelligent person has the power of learning or understanding but may not know much.18)While I would be struggling away with a complicated problem, he just knew the answer.

(para9)Paraphrase ---As a schoolboy Hawking was ..."Hawking the schoolboy", the reverse of the more common form, the schoolboy Hawking, is a case of restrictive apposition of noun phrases.

(para11)Paraphrase ---Just like many other universities, Oxford also has had some students who behave in a strange way, so Hawking felt as if he belongedexactly to themfit in : be suitable; behave or feel as if belonging (to a group)Examples:It's no surprise she is leaving the course ---she never really fit in.They are looking for someone young to join the team, someone who fits in.29)…get the most from a life he had previously taken for granted (para12)Paraphrase---take full advantage of a life whose value he had not fully appreciatedtake (sth.) for granted :be so familiar with (sth.) that one no longer appreciates its full value; treat (sth.) as unimportantExamples:He just takes it for granted that the house is tidy.Most young people take the washing machine for granted because they've never lived without it.30) …demonstrate the theory of mind over matter (para13) Paraphrase---prove the theory that the spiritual force overpowers the material force.31) Hawking himself acknowledges his disease as being a crucial factor in focusing his attention on what turned out to be his real strength: theoretical research.

Everything is going to be all right.The absent-minded professor looked everywhere for his glasses, but it turned out that they were just on top of his head.32) The smartest man in the world is not immune to the depression that can accompany severe disabilities. (para14)Paraphrase ---The smartest man in the world also has the feeling of sadness that other disabled people may have.be immune to :not responsive to or affected by (diseases, criticism, bad treatment, etc.)Examples:My uncle seems to be immune to colds —he just never gets them.They're always so rude that I've already become immune to it.6. Grammar focusApposition1) Explain to Ss that a noun phrase can be added to another noun orpronoun as further explanation, or modifier, which is calledapposition, and that an appositive is usually placed after the precedingnoun, but sometimes in front of a noun, or a pronoun for emphasis.2) Ask Ss to find appositives in the text.Examples:-----His father Frank, a doctor specializing in tropical diseases, and his mother Isobel, a doctor’s daughter, lived in a big old house full of books-----Hawking attended St. Albans School, a private school noted for it’s high academic standards.-----He was part of a small elite group, the brightest of the bright students. -----Hawking the schoolboy was a typical grind, underweight and awkward and peering through eyeglasses.7.

Background InformationMcDonald’s Corporation is a fast-food restaurant company based in Oak Brook, Illinois. Since the 1950s, McDonald’s family-oriented restaurants have revolutionized the fast-food business and the company has become one of the best known in the world. Tens of thousands of McDonald’s restaurants worldwide serve millions of customers a day. McDonald’s restaurants, which offer toy promotions and often feature playgrounds, are especially popular with children.The first McDonald’s restaurant was founded in 1940 by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California. In 1948 the brothers remodeled their McDonald’s drive-in restaurant, creating the prototype for the modern fast-food restaurant. By the mid-1950s the original McDonald’s generated $350,000 a year in revenues. In 1954 Ray Kroc, then a 52-year-old salesman of milkshake machines, visited the restaurant and became convinced that its concept could work in other cities. The McDonald brothers agreed to let Kroc sell McDonald’s franchises (the right to market the company’s products within a certain area). In 1955 Kroc established a franchising company known as McDonald’s Systems, Inc. and opened a second McDonald’s restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois. Within its first four years, the company had opened 228 restaurants, which generated $37.6 million in annual sales. In 1961 Kroc bought out the McDonald brothers for $2.7 million.During the 1960s, McDonald’s began to mount aggressive advertising and marketing campaigns. In 1962 the company adopted the golden arches as its trademark. Ronald McDonald, the familiar clown that serves as McDonald’s mascot, was introduced in 1963. That year, signs at McDonald’s restaurants announced that the company had sold more than 1 billion hamburgers. In 1968 McDonald’s restaurants began serving the Big Mac, a two-patty burger that became the company’s flagship product. The company launched its highly successful “You deserve a break today”advertising campaign in 1970. By 1972 McDonald’s had 2,000 restaurants and $1 billion in annual sales.McDonald’s also began to establish high-profile charities. The company opened the first Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1974. Ronald McDonald Houses provide temporary housing near hospitals for the families of seriously ill children. Today, Ronald McDonald House Charities operate more than 170 Ronald McDonald Houses in 32 countries.Although McDonald’s remained dedicated to its established format, the company introduced a number of new products and services in the 1970s and 1980s. Many of these innovations proved startlingly successful. McDonald’s began serving breakfast in 1973. By the late 1980s, one-fourth of Americans who ate breakfast away from home did so at McDonald’s. In 1975 McDonald’s introduced drive-through window service, enabling motorists to make purchases without leaving their cars. By the mid-1990s, drive-through business accounted for about half of all McDonald’s sales in the United States. In 1983 the company introduced Chicken Mc Nuggets, bite-sized fried chicken morsels accompanied by dipping sauces. Within a few months McDonald’s ranked as the world’s second largest retailer of chicken.II: Language Points in Text AKey words1. standard of the usual, ordinary kind; accepted as good, right, etc. 普通的，通常的；（符合）标准的；规范的e.g. Seat belts are now standard on all new cars.座椅安全带现已是所有新汽车的通用部件。

Unit 6 艾萨克·阿西莫夫的未来世界：医学艾萨克·阿西莫夫于1991年撰写了这篇文章，文章中的许多预言已经成为现实。

1.人人都认为预防疾病比试图治愈它更安全、更容易、更省钱。

2.医学界第一个伟大的胜利出现在1798年，当时人们发明了种痘。

于是，天花能够被预防了。

3.19世纪60年代，学界提出疾病的微生物理论，医生们开始发明出阻止细菌侵入人体以及人体一旦遭侵入后与之抗争的方法。

4.现在，我们能对付大多数细菌性疾病，但人类生命和健康最大的危险是所谓的退化疾病。

它们包括肌体的损坏，人们因此会遭受到癌症、心脏病、糖尿病等疾病的折磨。

5.医学界人士对如何配置我们的饮食以减少这些疾病的发病率了解甚多。

他们已学会如何用维生素使人的肌体保持较好的状态。

6.尽管我们已竭尽所能，但那些衰退疾病终将出现，人体将会完全垮掉。

因此，人人最终都将面临死亡。

然而，如果我们尽可能长地推迟疾病的发生，我们都将拥有更加强壮、更加健康的老年生活。

我们最终都不能回避死亡，但至少我们在离世之前不会遭受虚弱和痛苦的长期折磨。

7.这意味着未来的医学实践将更多地注重诊断或及早发现身体内部的变化。

如果在初期发现疾病，那时它还未形成并开始对身体进行侵害，治疗就会比较容易。

8.现代诊断始于19世纪90年代X射线的发现。

人们首次无需打开身体就能窥视体内器官。

但是，X射线只能发现大的原子微粒。

我们能清楚地看见骨头，但软组织显得不清楚。

除此之外，X射线能量很大，可能破坏身体甚至诱发癌症。

9.近年来，观察身体内部的方法得以改进。

我们能够运用比X射线危险性小得多的超声波。

还有一种被称为“核磁共振”的东西能根据原子对核磁区域的反应——甚至在软组织内——测出不同的原子。

它能显示X射线发现不了的东西，而且，它似乎对人体无害。

10.我们能够期盼，超声波、核磁共振或许还有其他技术将来可以在人体内任何东西开始变得异常之前就将其发现。

对少量血液的分析手段将得到改进，这样血液中任何反常的东西都能被筛选出来。

What is the main purpose of this passage?A) To introduce a new concept, EQ, and explain its significance.B) To explain why EQ is more important in life than IQ.C) To discuss different definitions of success.D) To criticize traditional notions of intelligence.The EQ FactorNancy GibbsIt turns out that a scientist can see the future by watching four-year-olds interact with a marshmallow. The researcher invites the children, one by one, into a plain room and begins the gentle torment. You can have this marshmallow right now, he says. But if you wait while Irun an errand, you can have two marshmallows when I get back. And then he leaves.Some children grab for the treat the minute he's out the door. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait. They cover their eyes; they put their heads down; they sing to themselves; they try to play games or even fall asleep. When the researcher returns, he gives these children their hard-earned marshmallows. And then, science waits for them to grow up.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey of the children's parents and teachers found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out for the second marshmallow generally grew up to be better adjusted, more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable teenagers. The children who gave in to temptation early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and stubborn. They could not endure stress and shied away from challenges. And when some of the students in the two groups took the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the kids who had held out longer scored an average of 210 points higher.When we think of brilliance we see Einstein, deep-eyed, woolly haired, a thinking machine with skin and mismatched socks. High achievers, we imagine, were wired for greatness from birth. But then you have to wonder why, over time, natural talent seems to ignite in some people anddim in others. This is where the marshmallows come in. It seems that the ability to delay gratification is a master skill, a triumph of the reasoning brain over the impulsive one. It is a sign, in short, of emotional intelligence. And it doesn't show up on an IQ test.For most of this century, scientists have worshipped the hardware of the brain and the software of the mind; the messy powers of the heart were left to the poets. But cognitive theory could simply not explain the questions we wonder about most: why some people just seem to have a gift for living well; why the smartest kid in the class will probably not end up the richest; why we like some people virtually on sight and distrust others; why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resilient soul. What qualities of the mind or spirit, in short, determine who succeeds?The phrase "emotional intelligence" was coined by Yale psychologist Peter Salovey and the University of New Hampshire's John Mayer five years ago to describe qualities like understanding one's own feelings, empathy for the feelings of others and "the regulation of emotion in a way that enhances living." Their notion is about to bound into the national conversation, handily shortened to EQ, thanks to a new book, Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. Goleman, a Harvard psychology Ph.D. and a New York Times science writer with a gift for making even the most difficult scientific theories digestible to lay readers,has brought together a decade's worth of behavioral research into how the mind processes feelings. His goal, he announces on the cover, is to redefine what it means to be smart. His thesis: when it comes to predicting people's success, brainpower as measured by IQ and standardized achievement tests may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character" before the word began to sound old-fashioned.At first glance, there would seem to be little that's new here to any close reader of fortune cookies. There may be no less original idea than the notion that our hearts hold dominion over our heads."I was so angry," we say,"I couldn't think straight." Neither is it surprising that "people skills" are useful, which amounts to saying, it's good to be nice."It's so true it's trivial," says Dr. Paul McHugh, director of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. But if it were that simple, the book would not be quite so interesting or its implications so controversial.This is no abstract investigation. Goleman is looking for antidotes to restore "civility to our streets and caring to our communal life." He sees practical applications everywhere for how companies should decide whom to hire, how couples can increase the odds that their marriages will last, how parents should raise their children and how schools should teach them. When street gangs substitute for families and schoolyard insults end in stabbings, when more than half of marriages end in divorce,when the majority of the children murdered in this country are killed by parents and stepparents, many of whom say they were trying to discipline the child for behavior like blocking the TV or crying too much, it suggests a demand for remedial emotional education.And it is here the arguments will break out. Goleman's highly popularized conclusions, says McHugh,"will chill any veteran scholar of psychotherapy and any neuroscientist who worries about how his research may come to be applied." While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, they fear that a notion as handy as EQ invites misuse. Goleman admits the danger of suggesting that you can assign a numerical value to a person's character as well as his intellect; Goleman never even uses the phrase EQ in his book. But he did somewhat reluctantly approve an "unscientific" EQ test in USA Today with choices like "I am aware of even subtle feelings as I have them," and "I can sense the pulse of a group or relationship and state unspoken feelings.""You don't want to take an average of your emotional skill," argues Harvard psychology professor Jerome Kagan, a pioneer in child-development research."That's what's wrong with the concept of intelligence for mental skills too. Some people handle anger well but can't handle fear. Some people can't take joy. So each emotion has to be viewed differently." EQ is not the opposite of IQ. Some people are blessedwith a lot of both, some with little of either. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they complement each other; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from class to luck to the neural pathways that have developed in the brain over millions of years of human evolution.(1 047 words)New WordsEQ(abbr.)emotional quotient 情商interactvi.(with) act or have an effect on each other 相互作用；相互影响marshmallown. soft sweet made from sugar and gelatine 果汁软糖tormentn. severe physical or mental suffering （肉体或精神上的）折磨，痛苦vt. cause severe suffering to 折磨；使痛苦errandn. small job that requires a short journey, usu. for sb. else （短程的）差事，差使hard-earneda. gained with great difficulty or effort 辛苦挣来的surveyn. investigation 调查adventurousa. eager for or fond of adventure 渴望冒险的，喜欢冒险的dependablea. that may be depended on 可信赖的，可靠的scholastica. of schools and education 学校的；的；学业的aptituden. natural ability or skill 天生的才能或技巧；天资brilliancen. the quality of being brilliant 光辉，辉煌；壮丽；（卓越的）才华，才智woollya.羊毛（制）的；产羊毛的；像羊毛的mismatchvt. match (people or things) wrongly or unsuitably 使错配，配合不当sockn. short stocking covering the ankle and lower part of the leg 短袜ignitev.(cause to) catch fire, burn （使）着火，燃烧；发光dimv.(cause to) become dim （使）变暗淡；（使）变模糊；（使）失去光泽impulsivea.(of people and their behavior) marked by sudden action that is undertaken without careful thought （指人或人的行为）凭冲动的；易冲动的messya. in a state of disorder;

A Brief History of Stephen Hawking
By Michael White & John Gribbin
Intensive Study 1 He has been proclaimed ―the finest mind alive‖, ―the greatest genius of the late 20th century‖, and ―Einstein’s heir‖. Known to millions, far and wide, for his book A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking is a star scientist in more ways than one. His gift for revealing the mysteries of the universe in a style that nonscientists can enjoy made Hawking an instant celebrity and his book a bestseller in both Britain and America. It has earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records for spending 184 weeks in The Sunday Times ―top-ten‖ lists, and has sold more than five million copies worldwide — virtually unheard-of success for a science book.
