One thinks ofsuccesses in medicine in the fight against disease, such as the invention of antibiotics and the promiseheld out by advances in biogenetic engineering. On a broader scale, one thinks of man's success inharnessing new forms of energy from steam power through oilto nuclear power.Yet, nature has often hit back in unexpected ways to these attempts to tame it. New forms ofAppendix I -98 -disease that are resistant to antibiotics are constantly developing. Burning fossil fuels has led tofears of global warming; while nuclear power has produced dangerous waste that will remain ahazard for generations to come.However, perhaps to talk of man triumphing over nature is the wrong way to look at thematter. We need to find ways to work with nature rather than forever fighting against it.(154words)Unit Two Smart Cars★Text AVocabularyI.1.1) expansion 2) automated 3) vapor 4) take control of 5) hazards 6) satellite7) vibrated 8) magnetic 9) bunched 10) in the air11) got/was stuck in12) approximately2.1) send out 2) stand up for 3) pass for 4) were closing in on5) starting up 6) went through 7) fill out 8) fall into 3.1) … incorporates all the latest safety features2) …two trees ten feet apart3) … awarding lucrative contracts to his construction site4) … the prototype o f a new model before they set up a factory to make the cars.5) … are correlated in all racial groups4.1) the application, remote, has turned into a reality, are poised to2) that vibrate, can detect, frequency3) lanes, are mounted in, alert a, hazardII.

For better or forworse, this is your calling card to the recruiting directors of the business world.There is one key piece of advice that seems to get lost on most people, one of the most important things you can do when applying for a job. And it is this: Target your résumé. People, we work in advertising. What do you think your résuméis? It’s just an ad for you. Just like a good ad targets its consumer, a good résumé hits the target right between the eyes and says, ―You have to hire me.‖ In this case, the consume r is the recruiting director at the company where you’d like to work. Never forget that.Here’s what I mean: Recruiting directors are a practical lot. They want to find the ―easiest‖ possible person to hire. That is, someone who fits their job description perfectly.If the job description says they are looking for an account director with, at least, 5 years of experience and a background in package goods, that’s exactly who they want to hire. Now, that doesn’t mean they won’t consider anyone else, but whe re do you think they are going to start?If you have more than five or so years of experience, you can start your résumé with a summary. A summary captures about four or five bullet points that show why you’re a perfect matchfor the job. In our example above, that first bullet point would say something like:Account director with more than 5 years of experience leading diverse agency teams as large as 18 on package-goods accounts including Unilever and Hershey.When they pick up that résumé, you want them to nod and think, ―This person is perfect for the job.‖After Listening1. calling card2. target one’s résumé3. job description4. summaryPart II Reading TaskComprehensionPossible answers to content questions:1.He runs a manufacturing company.2.Almost all of them were no.3.This applicant was ill prepared for the job he was applying for and therefore ill qualified.4.Prepare to win.5.They now have to switch jobs frequently.6.A 90-year-old tennis player who wanted to work on his weakness --backhand court.7.Believing in yourself, even when no one else does.138.Because he will mention a cab driver who is different.9.His efforts to make a difference.10.He was offered a ride on a day when Minnesota was hit with one of the worst snowstorms in years and the international airport there was closed for the first time in decades.11.Because there were no tracks left in the snow, which means he was the first person to take off from there.12.Carlson was excited about being first, which is exactly what the writer recommends to job applicants.Text Organization1.PartsParagraphsMain IdeasPart OneParas 1-6An ill-prepared college graduate failed his interview.Part TwoParas 7-27Four pieces of advice on being a successful interviewee.Part ThreeParas 28-31Make your own tracks in whateveryou do.2.SuggestionsExamples1) Prepare to win.1) Michael Jordan2) Never stop learning.2) a 90-year-old tennis player3) Believe in yourself,3) the four-minute mile, the New York Marathon and theeven when no one else does.Vietnam veteran.4) Find a way to make a difference.4) a New York cabdriver.

They are not only dwellers in nature, but also transformers of it. With the development of society and its economy, people tend to become lessdependent on nature directly, but indirectly their dependence grows.Human beings are connected with nature by “b lood”ties. No one can live outside nature. However, the previous dynamic balance between man and nature has shown signs of breaking down. Problems such as the population explosion, ecological imbalance and the shortage of natural resources have become major factors keeping human society from being further developed.Professor Spirkin holds that the only choice for human beings is the wise organization of production and care for Mother Nature.Theme-Related Writing▆Write an essay of no less than 150 words on the topic“M y Understanding of Environmental Protection . Y”o ur writing should cover the following points:1) the relationship between man and the environment2) the urgency of environmental protection3) ways to protect the environment▆Sample essayMy Understanding of Environmental ProtectionMan and the environment are closely related. Man relies on the environment for water, food and shelter. A harmonious relationship between man and the environment is essential for human survival on the earth.However, man and the environment have never been on such bad terms as they are now. As society develops, man’tsransformation of nature has severely polluted his living environment. Deforestation leads to changes in rainfall patterns, causing devastating floods, droughts and sandstorms. The discharge of chemical pollutants endangers our health and the lives of other beings. And mass production has resulted in the shortage of irreplaceable natural resources suchas coal and oil. If we take no immediate and effective steps to protect our environment, human beings may be the next species to become extinct.We should do our best to protect our environment by planting more trees,taking care of wildlife, reducing industrial wastes, using renewable energy, and imposing heavy fines on environmentally-unfriendly activities, so as to preserve the environment for future generations.(167 words)Unit TwoMan and TechnologyEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▆Working with Words and Expressions8.In the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Translate the following passage into English.▆Answers for reference:Many people want to be famous because fame can bring them both honor and respect from the public. In most cases, fame can also help them gain wealth. But, after all, very few people canreally become famous while most people, including most artists, are unlikely to become famous.It is true that some failure for some people at certain times in their lives does motivate them tostrive even harder so as to achieve final success. For example, Thomas Edison, the famous American inventor, had tried hundreds of materials before he finally found the suitable fuse forthe electric bulb. However, unfortunately, for most people failure is the end of their struggle. Therefore, in my opinion, success is one thing and fame is another. As long as you have tried your best, you’r e already successful whether you are famous or not.Theme-Related WritingWrite a composition of no less than 150 words on the topic “F ame —Good or Evil? ”. Your paper should cover the following points:1) the advantages of being famous2) the disadvantages of being famous3) your attitude towards fameSample essay:Fame —Good or Evil?Fame has always been pursued by many people for the advantages it brings about. Fame canassure one of a high social status, high regard, great admiration, etc. Fame can also bring one wealth as a celebrity has more chances to earn big money. Besides, the applause and flowers from fans may boost one’s self-confidence and increase one’s sense of fulfillment.However, fame can ruin one ’s life, too. Itdeprives one of his privacy. As a public figure, he is often chased by fansand journalists, and his private life never escapes the media’s attention or public curiosity. Fame also places one under great pressure. He has to work in line with public expectations and thus becomes the slave of his own success.So fame is a double-edged sword. I don’t seek fame and I don ’t envy those who are famous.I highly appreciate what the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow says about fame: “T he talent of success is nothing more than doing well whatever you do without a thought of fame. ”Unit FOUREnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▇Working with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Even the focus of science these days is micro, not macro.Even science focuses on the intra-personal, inner world rather than the interpersonal, outer society these days.6. In the same way that the breeze from a butterfly’s wings in Japan mayeventually produce a tidal in California, I have decided to expand thecontracting boundaries of personal space.Because the initial invasion of personal space can cause a chain ofreactions, which may bring about a catastrophic consequence, as thebreeze fro m a butterfly’s wings in Japan, if it initiates a chain of waves, may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, I have decided to enlarge the shrinking personal space.Unit 3 1. Given the relatively few restrictions governing access and usage, it is thecommunications modal equivalent of international waters.As there are relatively few restrictions for reaching and using the Internet, communications via the Internet are comparable to traveling through the international waterways.2. But much less widely reported has been the notion that the Internet may beresponsible for furthering the fragmentation of society by alienating itsindividual users.A lot of people talk about the “new information age”, but not so manypeople are acquainted with the idea that the Internet separates people from each other and fragments society further as a result.3. It seems to me that we are a society that values immediate gratificationabove all else, and what better place to achieve it than in cyberspace,where the cyber-world is your cyber-oyster.I think that in our society the top priority is given to the satisfaction of one’simmediate needs. The Internet is the best tool for this purpose, for on the Internet one can do whatever he likes to.Unit 4 1.

In my day little French kids looked like nothing other than little Frenchkids…When I lived in France as an expatriated child, the French kids weredressed in the unique French style, thus looking quite different from their counterparts in other countries.4. That experience no longer seems possible in Western countries – a saddevelopment, in my view.Full immersion in a truly foreign world no longer seems possible in Western countries, and I think this is a deplorable impact of globalization upon the growth of children in a foreign country.Unit 7 1.

It dictates priorities that are different from those of an earlier day.The intervention of television in the present- day campaign determineswhat factors the candidate should consider before others, and thesepriorities of today are different from those of the past.3. All of the recent Presidents have learned how to use the medium to theiradvantage, to “stage” events so as to receive maximum favorablecoverage.All the winning candidates in the presidential election have learnt how to make full use of television, to put on TV shots in the way he can win the most favor of the electorate.4. It can be argued that since the 1960 presidential debates we have electedpeople, not platforms. This is a major departure from earlier years.It can be argued that since the 1960 presidential debates wehave paid more attention to the candidates themselves than to their policies.

The role is so overwhelming that people believe whatever it shows, even if it may not be the real picture at all.3. It is worse than simply lazy journalism ,which is bad enough ;it is inaccurate jouralismThe distorted and inaccurate news coverage is worse than covering nothing about blacks.4. This is not just an issue of vanity ---of wanting to be seen in a good light .Nor is it a matter of closing one eyes to the very real problems --------–which undeniably is disproportionately balck.I am not saying we ignore the very real problems in the lowerclass in cities, in which most are blacks.5.For the millions of black people like myself –ordinary ,hard-working ,law-abiding , tax-paying Americans –the media’s blindness to the fact that we even exist ,let alone to our contributions to American society ,is a bitter cup to drink Most black people are ordinary, work hard, obey laws and pay their taxes. But the media ignore the fact that we exist in society, not to mention they will cover our contribution to the American society.6.…, millions of b lacks are relegated to a sort of twilight zone, where who we are and what we are isn’t based on fact but an image and perception.“twilight zone”: a gray area, a border in-between two or more things which are unclearly defined.The images of black remain unclear, because there is disparity between the norm presented by media and the image in reality.1.

The humour was crude; but it went home to the honest Victorian heart.Although the humor might sound offensively rude, it was readily accepted by people in the Victorian era.3. If marriage were to be judged by the songs conventional people used to sing about it in the music-halls, it would seem a hell mainly populated by twins and leech-like mothers-in-law. asblood-sucking worm.Leech-like: as persistentAccroding to the songs sung in the music-halls, marriage was like the hell where the wife's twin sister and mother were always causing trouble to and making demands of the married couple.4. The marriage state, with and without the affection suitable to it, is the completest image of Heaven and Hell we are capable of receiving in this life.The marriage state, whether there is love involved or not, is a combination of the happiness and misery we may encounter in life.。

For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.

Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.。

They are not only dwellers in nature, but also transformers of it. With the development of society and its economy, people tend to become less dependent on nature directly, but indirectly their dependence grows.Human beings are connected with nature by “b lood”t ies. No one can live outside nature. However, the previous dynamic balance between man and nature has shown signs of breaking down.

Man relies on the environment for water, food and shelter. A harmonious relationship between man and the environment is essential for human survival on the earth.However, man and the environment have never been on such bad terms as they are now. As society develops, m an’s transformation of nature has severely polluted his living environment. Deforestation leads to changes in rainfall patterns, causing devastating floods, droughts and sandstorms. The discharge of chemical pollutants endangers our health and the lives of other beings. And mass production has resulted in the shortage of irreplaceable natural resources such as coal and oil. If we take no immediate and effective steps to protectour environment, human beings may be the next species to become extinct.We should do our best to protect our environment by planting more trees, taking care of wildlife, reducing industrial wastes, using renewable energy, and imposing heavy fines on environmentally-unfriendly activities,so as to preserve the environment for future generations.(167 words)...。

大学生综合英语第四册_课后练习答案《全新版大学英语综合教程》（第二版）第四册Unit 1-4课后练习答案Unit 1Part I Listening TaskScript for the recording:The severity of Russian winter is often linked with Russian military victories. In the Great Northern War, Charles XII of Sweden invaded the Russia of Peter the Great. The Russians retreated, adopting a scorched-earth policy. This particular winter happened to be the most brutal winter of the 18th century, so severe that the salt water port of Venice froze. Charles' 35,000 troops were crippled, and only 19,000 were left after that winter.In 1812, Napoleon's army of 610,000 men invaded Russia, heading towards Moscow. The Russian army retreated before the French and again burnt their crops and villages, denying the enemy their use. Napoleon's army was ultimately reduced to 100,000. His army suffered further, even more disastrous losses on the retreat from Moscow. According to an American military study, the main body of Napoleon's army, initially at least 378,000 strong, "diminished by half during the first eight weeks of his invasion, before the majorbattle of the campaign.The argument of the Russian winter may be mythologized. Failed invaders liked to exaggerate the significance of weather conditions in their failures. According to the meteorological records, the1812-1813 winter was milder than usual.During WWII the only cold winter was in 1941-1942, and theGerman army lacked necessary supplies, such as winter uniforms, due to the many delays in its movements. Hitler was so confident of a quick victory that he did not prepare for even the possibility of winter warfare in Russia. He was too confident in his "lightning war" strategy. Yet his eastern army suffered more than 734,000 casualties during the first five months of the invasion, and on 27 November 1941, General Eduard Wagner reported that "We are at the end of our resources in both personnel and materiel. We are about to be confronted with the dangers of deep winter."After Listening1. link2. burnt their crops and villages3. exaggerate the significance4. at the end of their resourcesPart II Reading taskComprehensionPossible answers to content questions1. It refers to the raw, bitter, bleak Russian winter.2. He expected the conquest of Russia in five weeks.3. Instead of fighting, they retreated eastward, burning their crops and homes as they went. They let the Russian winter fight the war for them while they bided their time.4. Napoleon discovered that the occupation of the city was an empty victory because the Russians fled their capital leaving him almost nothing at all.5. They suffered heavy losses as a result of the extreme cold and the Russians' hit-and-run attacks.6. Napoleon abdicated and went into exile.7. Hitler began his invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 without a declaration of war. He expected the campaign tolast no longer than three months by using the so-called "lightning war" tactics.8. No, he wasn't. He instructed the Russian people to "scorch the earth" in front of the German invaders.9. The people of Leningrad refused to surrender and put upa heroic, stiff resistance.10. An early, severe, cold winter, to a large extent, slowed downthe German advance on Moscow.11. The loss of the battle for Stalingrad turned the tide against Hitler. The German victories were over.12.

One thinks ofsuccesses in medicine in the fight against disease, such as the invention of antibiotics and the promiseheld out by advances in biogenetic engineering. On a broader scale, one thinks of man's success inharnessing new forms of energy from steam power through oil to nuclear power.Yet, nature has often hit back in unexpected ways to these attempts to tame it. New forms of Appendix I -98 -disease that are resistant to antibiotics are constantly developing. Burning fossil fuels has led tofears of global warming; while nuclear power has produced dangerous waste that will remain ahazard for generations to come.However, perhaps to talk of man triumphing over nature is the wrong way to look at the matter. We need to find ways to work with nature rather than forever fighting against it.

For better or for worse, this is your calling card to the recruiting directors of the business world.There is one key piece of advice that seems to get lost on most people, one of the most important things you can do when applying for a job. And it is this: Target your résumé. People, we work in advertising. What do you think your résumé is? It’s just an ad for you. Just like a good ad targets its consumer, a good résumé hits the target right between the eyes and says, “You have to hire me.” In this case, the consumer is the recruiting director at the company where you’d like to work. Never forget that.Here’s what I mean: Recruiting directors a re a practical lot. They want to find the “easiest” possible person to hire. That is, someone who fits their job description perfectly.If the job description says they are looking foran account director with, at least, 5 years of experience and a background in package goods, that’s exactly who they want to hire. Now, that doesn’t mean they won’t consider anyone else, but where do you think they are going to start? If you have more than five or so years of experience, you can start your résumé with a summary. A summary captures about four or five bullet points that show why you’re a perfect match for the job. In our example above, that first bullet point would say something like: Account director with more than 5 years of experience leading diverse agency teams as large as 18 on package-goods accounts including Unilever and Hershey.When they pick up that résumé, you want them to nod and think, “This person is perfect for the job.”After Listening1. calling card2. target one’s résumé3. job description4. summaryPart II Reading TaskComprehensionPossible answers to content questions:1.He runs a manufacturing company.2.Almost all of them were no.3.This applicant was ill prepared for the job he was applying for and therefore ill qualified.4.Prepare to win.5.They now have to switch jobs frequently.6.A 90-year-old tennis player who wanted to work on his weakness --backhand court.7.Believing in yourself, even when no one else does.138.Because he will mention a cab driver who is different.9.His efforts to make a difference.10.He was offered a ride on a day when Minnesota was hit with one of the worst snowstorms in years and the international airport there was closed for the first time in decades.11.Because there were no tracks left in the snow, which means he was the first person to take off from there.12.Carlson was excited about being first, which is exactly what the writer recommends to job applicants.Text Organization1.PartsParagraphsMain IdeasPart OneParas 1-6An ill-prepared college graduate failed his interview.Part TwoParas 7-27Four pieces of advice on being a successful interviewee.Part ThreeParas 28-31Make your own tracks in whateveryou do.2.SuggestionsExamples1) Prepare to win.1) Michael Jordan2) Never stop learning.2) a 90-year-old tennis player3) Believe in yourself,3) the four-minute mile, the New York Marathon and theeven when no one else does.Vietnam veteran.4) Find a way to make a difference.4) a New York cabdriver.Language Sense Enhancement1.(1) checked with(2) interview(3) grill(4) clippings(5) be right for(6) follow up(7) indicating （8）hand-delivered (9) prepared(10) prospectiveLanguage FocusI.1.1) rude2) physically3) structure4) made a difference5) blurted (out)6) chuckling7) measurable8) prospective 9) preparations10) sparkled 11) took a crack at12) partner 2.1) go after2) look back at/on143) be put up 4) stood for5) build in6) follow up7) behooked up to8) closed up3.1) grilled her about where she hadbeen all night2) bey ond Cinderella’s wildest dreams that she could one day dance in the King’s palace3) will be in readers’hands soon4) do your homework before going on an interview.5) was in the neighborhood of 150 dollars.4.1）applicants, veteran,the prospective2）From his standpoint,has made every endeavorto go after3) as the saying goes, tohave a crack at,barely II.

One thinks ofsuccesses in medicine in the fight against disease, such as the invention of antibiotics and the promiseheld out by advances in biogenetic engineering. On a broader scale, one thinks of man's success in harnessing new forms of energy from steam power through oil to nuclear power.Yet, nature has often hit back in unexpected ways to these attempts to tame it. New forms of Appendix I -98 -disease that are resistant to antibiotics are constantly developing. Burning fossil fuels has led to fears of global warming; while nuclear power has produced dangerous waste that will remain a hazard for generations to come.However, perhaps to talk of man triumphing over nature is the wrong way to look at the matter. We need to find ways to work with nature rather than forever fighting against it.(154words)Unit Two Smart Cars★Text AVocabularyI.1.1) expansion 2) automated 3) vapor 4) take control of 5) hazards 6) satellite7) vibrated 8) magnetic 9) bunched 10) in the air 11) got/was stuck in12) approximately2.1) send out 2) stand up for 3) pass for 4) were closing in on5) starting up 6) went through 7) fill out 8) fall into3.1) … incorporates all the latest safety features2) …two trees ten feet apart3) … awarding lucrative contracts to his construction site4) … the prototype o f a new model before they set up a factory to make the cars.5) … are correl ated in all racial groups4.1) the application, remote, has turned into a reality, are poised to2) that vibrate, can detect, frequency3) lanes, are mounted in, alert a, hazardII.

大学体验英语综合教程4（第二版）Unit_1---Unit7课后答案

大学体验英语综合教程4（第二版）Unit_1---Unit7课后答案Unit 1无名英雄：职业父亲意味着什么？在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次“约会”时，我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具故事》的电影。

我们很喜欢这部片子，但随后我丈夫问道：“父亲在哪儿呢？”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。

可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。

父亲不仅没有出现，他甚至没有被提到——尽管家中有婴儿，说明他不可能离开太长时间。

影片给人的感觉是，父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节，甚至不需要做任何解释。

新闻媒体倾向于把父亲的边缘化，这只是一个例子，它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。

大卫?布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为“无需父亲”观念。

职业母亲（我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的）奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。

与此同时，媒体上绝大多数有关父亲的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲。

看起来似乎父亲惟一值得人们提及的时候是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候（我怀疑这一说法的可靠性，因为“家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟、给汽车换机油或其它一些典型地由男人们做的事），或者是在他们去世的时候。

当布兰肯霍恩先生就“顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时，许多父亲都回答这一词语只有在葬礼上听到。

这种“无需父亲”综合症的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。

我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持，我只是想指出在实际生效的双重标准：家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬，而家庭全职母亲和养家活口的父亲，所得到文化上的认同却很少，甚至完全得不到。

我们用来讨论父亲角色（即没出息的父亲）的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭承担的责任缺乏赏识。

我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法，在人们呼吁应该考虑给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时，很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女子，同样也适应于男子。

Unit 4IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences taken from the text.Unit 11.…there has been this long lull with nothing particular up!…Britain has been in too long a period of stillness without taking any particular action against the enemy!2.…we must “… meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two impostorsjust the same.”…we are sure to experience both Triumph and Disaster, and we must treat them as the same thing different appearances because they are essentially interchangeable.3.…never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.…never give in unless we are convinced that it is honourable and sensible for us to do so.4.Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate.Other nations thought that Britain was completely conquered.5.…we have only to persevere to conquer.…we will win as long as we hold on to the end.Unit 21.The phrase “personal space” has a quaint, seventies ring to it.The phrase “personal space” has an odd touch that was characteristic of the 1970s.2.T-shirt weather can make proximity more alluring (or much, or less).In hot summer days, people can be drawn to each other, especially to the opposite sex (or feel disgusted with the closeness of others.)3.The logistics of it vary according to geography.People in different regions are given different sizes of personal space. 4.…individuals routinely commandeer booths and sets of facing seats meant forfoursomes.…it is quite common that one person occupies a booth and a set of facing seats designed for four people.5.Even the focus of science these days is micro, not macro.Even science focuses on the intra-personal, inner world rather than theinterpersonal, outer society these days.6.In the same way that the breeze from a butterfly’s wings in Japan may eventuallyproduce a tidal in California, I have decided to expand the contracting boundaries of personal space.Because the initial invasion of personal space can cause a chain of reactions,which may bring about a catastrophic consequence, as the breeze from abutterfly’s wings in Japan, if it initiates a chain of waves, may eventually producea tidal wave in California, I have decided to enlarge the shrinking personal space.Unit 31.Given the relatively few restrictions governing access and usage, it is thecommunications modal equivalent of international waters.As there are relatively few restrictions for reaching and using the Internet,communications via the Internet are comparable to traveling through theinternational waterways.2.But much less widely reported has been the notion that the Internet may beresponsible for furthering the fragmentation of society by alienating its individual users.A lot of people talk about the “new information age”, but not so many people areacquainted with the idea that the Internet separates people from each other and fragments society further as a result.3.It seems to me that we are a society that values immediate gratification above allelse, and what better place to achieve it than in cyberspace, where the cyber-world is your cyber-oyster.I think that in our society the top priority is given to the satisfaction of one’simmediate needs. The Internet is the best tool for this purpose, for on the Internet one can do whatever he likes to.Unit 41.It was therefore left to Yamahata to record, methodically – and, as it happens, witha great and simple artistry – the effects ...The responsibility was therefore placed on Yamahata’s shoulders to record the effects systematically and incidentally with a great and simple artistry.2.That absence, even more than wreckage, contains the heart of the matter.That vanished city rather than its remains represents the true measure of the event.3.In the photographs, Nagasaki comes into its own.In the photographs, Nagasaki regains its own status.4.… the human imagination had stumbled to exhaustion in the wreckage of the firstruined city without reaching even the outskirts of the second.… the human imagination had been exhausted and stopped at the wreckage of the first ruined city and failed to reach even the outskirts of Nagasaki.5.… we seem to need, in addition, some other picture to counterpoise against ruinedNagasaki ...… apart from the pictures of Nagasaki we seen to need some other picture toinspire in us a hope of life to counterbalance the sense of doom suggested by the ruined Nagasaki…Unit 51.Slowly, it planned across the tapestry of friendship…Slowly, the movie gave a panoramic picture of friendship…2.This wasn’t just another binge of trendiness, but a kind of cinema verite.This was not simply a shift from one fashion to another, but a truthful description of friendship.3.Well, that duality must have been mortally wounded in some shoot- out at theYou’re OK, I’m OK Corral.The two sides must have been mortally wounded in the OK Corral gunfight.4.Buddies hang tough together; friends hang onto each other.Buddies hold on together in face of adversity; friends cling tightly to each other for emotional support.Unit 61.July 4 is one of the times when the American in me feels a twinge of unease aboutthe great lacunae in our children’s understanding of who they are and is prompted to try to fill the gaps.July 4 is one of the times I, as a native American, feel instinctively uneasy about the great gaps in our children’s understanding of their American identity, and thusI am motivated to do something to fill the gaps.2.And our physical separation from our native land is not much of an issue.And living away from our native country does not matter much (in our children’s acquisition of our native language).3.In my day little French kids looked like nothing other than little French kids…When I lived in France as an expatriated child, the French kids were dressed in the unique French style, thus looking quite different from their counterparts in other countries.4.That experience no longer seems possible in Western countries – a saddevelopment, in my view.Full immersion in a truly foreign world no longer seems possible in Westerncountries, and I think this is a deplorable impact of globalization upon the growth of children in a foreign country.Unit 71.He was almost innocent of any sense of responsibility.→He almost had no sense of responsibility.2.He wrote begging letters by the score,sometimes groveling without shame,at other s loftily offering his intended benefactor the privilege of contributing to his support,a nd being mortally offended of the recipient declined the honor.→He wrote a large number of letters to his patron without shame,begging for money. But in a manner that it seemed a great honor for the patron to be offered the chance s upport him.That’s why he would be greatly offended if the patron refused to tale the honor.3.He would pull endless wires in order to meet some man who admired his work and was able and anxious to be of use to him.→he would use the influences from as many people as possible to meet his admirer w ho was readily useful to him.4.Is it any wonder he had no time to be a man?→Wagner was such a miraculous monster,is it any wonder that he didn’t behave like a normal human being in this world?Unit 81.“Yes,down,”he says.→“Yes,I’m going down,”he says.(Literally,he means that he is going down with the bed,but metaphorically he means that his physical condition is going from bad to wo rse.2.It is a sound you have never heard.It is something new under the sun.It could cure cancer.→And then he laughs.The wild,relaxed laughter is a totally new sound in the world t hat you have never heard.The laughter could cure cancer.3.She looks over at me shaking her head and making her mouth go.→The aide looks over at me,shaking her head to express her frustration and pursing h er lips to signal her annoyance,I understand that we are to cooperate.Unit 91.he couldn’t stand not being a part of our school.→He wanted very much to be a teacher of our school.2.we found a kinship→we found a strong connection between.3.I supported myself by sweeping foot floors of off-Broadway stages→I supported myself by sweeping floors of off-broadway stages before there was an y new role of me to play.4.He was still living in a world vibrant with all of the beautiful treasures he has stored →he was still living in a world that was exciting and lively because of all the beautif ul poems he had memorized.Unit101.Urban life,during the hours when they reign,is urbane.→Rats make city life orderly and courteous when they dominate the city deep at nigh t.2.City dwellers take the city with them to the country,for they will not live without is pamperings.→City dwellers create all kinds of fashion in the country,for they will not live witho ut these fashionable things.3.These windows are a scandal because they endanger the lives of office workers in c ase of fire.→These windows are disgraceful because they put the lives of office workers in dan ger if a fire should occur.4.No true sense of the rhythms of the seasons is to be had from a lawn in the backyard and a few spindly trees struggling to survive.→a lawn in the backyard and a few spindle-shaped trees struggling for life are not en ough to give the dweller any true sense of the season changes.Unit 111 .Nothing remains of it but memories and a fringe of dwelling houses on its outskirts.→Except for some dwelling houses on its suburbs,San Francisco has almost complet ely disappeared from the world and only remains in people’s memories.2.There was no withstanding the onrush of the flames.→Nothing could stop the advancement of the flames.3.An enumeration of the deeds of heroism would stock a library and bankrupt the Car negie medal fund.→The courageous and brave deeds in the firefighting would fill up a library if related in writing and exhaust the Carnegie medal fund if rewarded.4.Sometimes a whole family was harnessed to a carriage or delivery wagon that was weighted down with their possessions.→Sometimes all members of a family fastened themselves with straps to a carriage or delivery wagon that was heavily loaded with their possessions.5.And against this wall of flames,silhouetted sharply,were two United States cavalry men sitting their horse,calmly watching.→Two United States soldiers sat astride on their horse and calmly watched the conflagration,their shapes contrasting sharply with the wall.Unit121.It is an insidious practice,all the uglier for its blatancy.→The media’s malicious use of the small segment of black America to represent the whole of it is harmful and offensive.2.The free press,indeed,as the main interpreter of American culture and American e xperience,holds the mirror on American reality－so much so that what the media sa y is,even if it’s not that way at all.→The media are supposed to present American culture and American experience trut hfully by reflecting American reality,and people usually accept news reports as truth without any doubt.Unfortunately,in many cases what they present is anything but the truth.The distorted,inaccurate coverage of news is worse than covering nothing at all about blacks.4.Nor is it a matter of closing one’s eyes to the very real problems of the urban under class－which undeniably is disproportionately black.→We should never ignore the existence of real problems of the urban underclass－w hich undeniably is disproportionately black.5.For the millions of black people like myself－ordinary,hard-working,law-abiding ,tax-paying Americans－the media’s blindness to the fact that we even exist,let alo ne to our contributions to American society,is a bitter cup to drink.→Most black people work hard,obey the law and pay all kinds of taxes.We have ma de our contributions to American society,as all the other Americans have.Unit 131.Their cynical attitude to marriage may be gathered from the enthusiastic reception they gave to Punch’s advice to those about to marry -“Don’t.”→From the way they enthusiastically received the “Don’t advice given in themagazine Punch, we can tell that they adopted a skeptical attitude to marriage.2.The humour was crude; but it went home to the honest Victorian heart.→Although the humor might sound offensively rude, it was readily accepted by people in the Victorian era.3. “The marriage state, with and without the affection suitable to it, is the completest image of Heaven and Hell we are capable of receiving in this life.”→The marriage state, whether there is love involved or not, is a combination of the happiness and misery we may encounter in life.Unit 141.Everywhere, the media flow defies national boundaries. (Paragraph 1)→Throughout the world, the modern electronic media flow across national boundaries. / Throughout the world, the media flow is not barred by national boundaries.2.Just as their “cultures”are neither hard-wired nor uniform, so there is no simple way in which they are “Americanized”,though there are American tags on their experience －low-cost links to status and fun.→For young people, cultures are not innate or unvarying. They don’t simply become Americanized although they may have contact with American fun culture at little cost.3. The empire strikes from inside the spectator as well as from outside.→American pop culture not only impacts on the more material side of young people’s lives but also touches their hearts with great force.。
