What Do They Tell Us About Ourselves and Our Society?
A
1. 1）The author uses the two quotations to introduce the discussion and express his ideas about
rock music and young culture heroes. 2) Yes，they are.

3。

Irving Horowitz believes that rock music can express its time。

He sees it as a debating forum where American society struggles to define and redefine its feelings and beliefs.

of “debate" took place。

Most of the old people frowned while most of the young viewers applauded.

other successful rock stars at present
F
Rock music began in America in the late 1950s。

It was not only a new musical form, but also a forum for the America youth to express their ideas of the world and life。

On this forum，the stars sang out the attitudes of the youth towards civil rights, war and peace, their disaffection of the society, and a range of emotions between love and hate。

All in all, on this forum, the American youth redefined their beliefs and feelings for American society. The typical representatives of the early rock music were Elvis Presley, singer and poet Bob Dylan，the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and so on。

They were the culture heroes worshipped by young people.
Lesson Two Four Choices for Young People
A
1. They look at the adult world with great skepticism.
2。

“drop out”means to withdraw from conventional society. The author says that the dropouts are parasitic because they batten on the society in which they refuse to take any responsibility.
3. The difference is that people who flee are not parasites。

They are willing to support themselves
and to contribute something to the general community。

4. Because our planet is running out of noble savages and unsullied landscapes, and except for the
polar regions, the frontiers are gone.
5。

Young people who are more active and idealistic tend to follow the strategy of armed revolution。

6。

Because they will live in bitter disillusionment to see the new establishment is just as hard—faced and stuffy as the old one.
7. For example，the problems of an affluent society，of racial justice, of keeping our cities from
becoming uninhabitable ,of population explosion and so on。

8.The fourth alternative is trying to change the world gradually，one clod at a time。

The author
favors this alternative because he thinks it offers a better chance for remedying some of the world’s outrages than any other available strategy.
B
1。

很显然，他的话代表了许多同龄人的心声。

2。

在过去的几年里，我曾听过许多在校大学生或已走出校门的年轻人的想法.他们对成人社会也是同样的紧张不安。

3. 他们愿意养活自己，并为社会做出贡献。

他们只是不喜欢文明社会的环境，也就是不喜欢那充满丑陋和
压力的城市。

4。

一些有钱的绅士农场主仍旧能够遁人田园。

5。

在他们看来,这种方式具有传奇般的感召力，通常以某个魄力十足且具有超凡魅力的人物为代表。

6.他们最大的成功也绝不可能带来一个他们所期望的崭新的世界—-—个涤荡了所有人类污浊的崭新的世
界。

7. 革命政府，无论贴上什么样的政治标签，都必须要由销售、卫生工程和各级政府机关的行家管理,而不是
由狂暴的浪漫主义者管理。

5. Their success never brings about a completely new and different world.
6. This strategy is not attractive at all.
7. Changing and curing the cruelty and violence of the world better than any other possible ways。

8。

Another problem soon appears before them.
F
American young people in the 1960s were a generation of rebellion。

They found America, an affluent society, full of poverty, injustice and hypocrisy. They no longer believed in the adult world which did not belong to them and rejected its beliefs and values. Many young people threw themselves into tie battles against poverty，facial discrimination and Vietnam War。

Some of them even attempted to overthrow the society through revolution. Many others expressed their resentment in passive ways。

They took drugs and lived a parasitic life without taking any social responsibility, or fled to the unsullied countryside to live a rather primitive communal life。

Lesson Three The Use of Force
A
1. Because it was very damp there sometimes。

They had her in the kitchen where it was warm.
2.Because they were new patients and they knew how stubborn their child was. They thought it was hard to diagnose the child。

Besides, they just spent three dollars on the doctor. They doubted whether the doctor could do his best in such cases。

3。

She didn’t know the seriousness of the disease——diphtheria. And she didn’t want the doctor to find that her tonsils were covered with membrane, she was very self—willed。

All these made her refuse to open her mouth。

4. Because the doctor had seen at least two children lying dead in bed of neglect in such cases. He must diagnose in time. Besides，a blind fury, a feeling of adult shame, bred of a longing for muscular release are the immediate operatives。

5。

Before the doctor could see anything she came down again and gripped the wooden blade between her molars.
6. In the final unreasoning assault the doctor overpowered the child's neck and jaws。

He forced
the heavy silver spoon back of the girl’s teeth and down her throat.
7. This is an open—ended question. In a sense，there’s some relation between the girl’s physical beauty and the outcome of the incident. The girl’s parents spoiled her because of her beauty, This formed her self—willed character. If the girl was ugly，the situation may be different。

However, in another sense，there's no necessary relation between the girl’s beauty and the outcome of the incident. That's because a child's character is affected by various elements. No matter a child is pretty or not, he may become a self-willed child。

8。

Yes。

His purpose was good. But the means he employed to exam the girl’s throat was too rude。

And he hurt the girl’s feeling.
B
1。

当我到达时，孩子的母亲迎接了我。

她是一位大块头的女人，脸上带着惊慌，衣着干净，满面歉意。

她只是简单地说，你是大夫吗？就让我进去了。

2. 他试图站起来,但我示意他不必麻烦了.我脱下大衣开始检査。

3. 像通常一样,在这种情况下，他们告诉我的绝不会比他们不得不说的多，得靠我来告诉他们。

4。

我用我那最好的职业微笑笑着问那孩子的名字，然后我说，过来,玛蒂尔达……
5。

听到这话我厌恶地咬咬牙。

如果他们不用“伤害”这个词，我或许会做成了一些什么。

6. 在接下来的较量中他们变得越来越可怜、受压制、精疲力竭,而她由于对我的害怕产生的狂怒当然已经
达到了惊人的程度。

7。

她张开了嘴，但只是一瞬间，在我看清之前她又闭上了,并且把木制压舌板紧紧咬在臼齿之间。

在我抽出它之前,压舌板已被她咬成碎片.
8. 在这种情况下，一个人会对自己说,一定要保护这可恶的小鬼，使她免受自己愚蠢行为的伤害。

C
1。

5. motioned
6. profusion 7。

D

E

2. 。

3。

lots of people here have been ill
4. My best smile and my words were of no help。

The girl was still。

5. in the view of the possibility
6. We ’ re going to complete the examination.
7. I too had lost my sense. （I became unreasonable.）
8. the violent and unreasoning feeling
F
Mathilda had been ill for three days。

Mother had given her some medicine；but it didn't do any good. So she had to ask the doctor to come, Since some students had got diphtheria in the school to which Mathilda went and two of them had already died. The doctor，arriving at Olson’s, would first examine Mathilda’s throat. No matter how coaxed, she didn't open her mouth. So the doctor had to get the wooden tongue depressor between her teeth。

Mathilda，however, reduced it to splinters。

In order to protect Mathilda herself and other children，the doctor had to make clear whether she had diphtheria or not，so that he could cure it in time。

Therefore，he asked
Mathilda's father to hold both her wrists, and he himself forced the child to open her mouth。

And there it was —she really had diphtheria. The story sets us thinking of this question that not everything can depend on willingness in in life and it is necessary to use some force under certain circumstances。

Lesson Four Die as You Choose
A
1. Yes。

In Holland，mercy-killing is accepted by medical establishment and openly practiced a few thousand times each year.
2.Because they keep euthanasia secret. In America, they can rarely discuss euthanasia openly with patients—even when those patients beg them for it—doctors tend to kill only when the dying are too far gone to consent. Thus, because voluntary euthanasia is taboo, a doctor makes the decision himself and the patient is killed involuntarily。

3。

Passive euthanasia is letting patients die without using all the might of medical technology to prolong the lives of patients. Active euthanasia is killing the patients. No.
4。

A “living—will" is a document written by a person sound in mind and body stating whether he/she should receive any medical treatment or what kind of medical treatment he/ she should receive if he/she should contract some incurable disease.
5。

Yes。

His oath explicitly ruled out active killing。

No. Most other Greek doctors and thinkers disagreed with his ban. The author wanted to tell the readers that even in ancient Greek doctors and thinkers had the courage to disagree with the Hippocratic ban. Today we should have the courage to support euthanasia。

6. It might pose dangers for society by setting a precedent for killing。

7. The opposition is too fierce because of the shadow of the past，which refers to the atrocities committed by the German fascists during the Second World War.
8. The author is in favor of euthanasia。

B
1. 需要制定有关安乐死的法律，这一问题是不能再回避了。

2. 在荷兰,安乐死已被医疗机构接受并且每年公开实施几千次。

3。

有关安乐死的辩论将争执不休地持续到秋季，到那时加利福尼亚人会对安乐死合法化的议案进行投票. 4。

许多人认同这样的观点：运用一切医疗技术力量去延长临终的痛苦是可悲的、有损尊严的和令人毛骨悚然的。

5. 对主动安乐死和被动安乐死的区分还会持续多久?
6。

那么,他使用足够多的止痛药去杀人就一定错了吗？医生釆取了行动而不是疏忽职守，就应谴责他吗? 7。

最英勇地顶住压力，拒绝参与纳粹分子医疗暴行的是荷兰医生,这也许绝非巧合。

8。

那些近代自由主义传统未被打断过的国家，对为自愿安乐死设立一些有限规则并没太多要担心的。

C
1. dodged 2。

intrude 3。

withhold 4。

ushered
5. legalize
6. precedent
7. credible 8。

D
1。

5。

oath 6. withholding 7。

E
1. the painless, gentle and easy death in case of incurable and painful disease.
2。

a strong controversial influence 。

3. （among some people) something which religion or custom regards as forbidden，something not to be touched upon or spoken of
4. great power，strength
5。

furnishing an example that may serve to justify killing
6。

a person who is excessively/too scrupulous (careful to do nothing morally wrong，paying great attention to small points, esp. of conscience）
7。

likely to cause prolonged argument
8. to include, incorporate or accept
F
It’s now very urgent to make laws on euthanasia. Most countries prohibit euthanasia。

In these countries，euthanasia is secretly practiced by doctors. But some countries，Holland, for example，openly practice euthanasia。

More and more countries are debating on legalizing euthanasia。

When a patient has long been suffering from a disease and has no hope of recovery, why should we let him go on suffering？Why not use euthanasia to end his throes?
If euthanasia is legalized，however，it may pose a danger—someone may use euthanasia to murder. In a word, euthanasia is a question that can’ t be dodged。

Lesson Five I'd Rather Be Black than Female
A
1。

She is the first black woman ever elected to Congress。

2。

Because men do not support the struggle and women in America are much more brainwashed and content with their roles as second class citizens than blacks ever were。

3. Women do tedious details that make the difference between victory and defeat on election day and the best position while men reaped the rewards. That the best any of those women can hope for is the honor of being a district or country vice—chairman while her role is supposed to vote the way her male chairman votes。

4. In her district there are 2。

5 women for every man registered to vote. And those women are organized—in PTAs，church societies，card clubs，and other social and service groups. She went to them and asked their help。

5. They are invariably paid less than a man for the same job.
6。

The America women usually talk the occupations of secretaries, librarians and teachers.
7。

There are still some children going to bed hungry. There isn't a good school for every child. Money is still spent on weapons to murder people。

The laws against unfair housing and unfair employment practices are not enforced effectively。

8. According to the author, women have the qualities of empathy, tolerance, insight, patience and persistence。

I agree with the author because they are women’s naturally—born qualities。

B
1。

我是第一个同时清除了这两个障碍的人.
2。

那些白人——包括那些自以为是开朗人士的人们—-需要多年的时间才能发现并摒弃他们事实上都持有的种族歧视态度。

3. 从事这份工作，她可以享受公费出差，去参加几次州会议,有时去参加全国性会议及党政召开的全国代
表大会，而在这些会议上，她的任务是投和男主席一样的票.
4。

当一位聪慧的年轻女大学生开始找工作的时候，为什么第一个问题总是：“你会打字吗？”
5。

每次当我试图向高处再走一步的时候，许多人就建议我回去教书,说那才是女人的职业,而要把政治留
给男士们.
6. 但是知道这种情况发生——我们都知道这不会是今年也不会是明年——我们所需要的是更多的妇女从
政，因为我们妇女要做出特殊的贡献.
7. 只有妇女才能给政府带来移情能力、容忍、远见、耐心和持之以恒——这些品质是我们妇女天生的或者
说由于受到男性压迫而不得不发展的。

8. 现在,我们的国家需要妇女的理想主义和决心，也许在政治上要比在其他任何领域都更需要。

E
1. Women have much more troubles and differences than blacks.
2. Women in America are told to accept the ideas of the patriarchal society.
3。

position, fate, destiny
4。

unpaid individuals who work
5。

When I attempted to free myself from that stereotype
6。

I was confronted with open opposition.
7. I was suggesting that a promising young woman be named the candidate。

8. the law was carried out instead of being avoided
F
American women have made great contributions to the American development, but they have been suffering from many kinds of prejudice because of their sex。

In politics，they do all the tedious details that make the difference between victory and defeat，but have little chance to reach higher positions while men reap the rewards。

In economy, most women do the lower-paying，dead-end jobs and they are invariably paid less than a man for the same job。

Many Americans do not admit that it is prejudice, only saving that it is a division of labor. Many women are even content with their roles as second class citizens。

So the author says that it will be a long and hard struggle if women want to get real equality.
Lesson Six A Good Chance
A
1. “I" refers to the author of this story，a friend of Magpie.
2。

She brought Magpie a letter of acceptance from a University in California where they wanted him to participate for Indians。

3。

He was arrested and put in jail for a year after the protest at Custer when the courthouse was burned.
4。

No，she didn’t。

Because Amelia thought that first, Magpie had changed a lot, and he no longer needed things that people like the author wanted him to need；second，Magpie was happy with his own people when he was not saying all those things against the government and the council。

5。

The author’s sincerity and reasoning。

6。

The police car was on patrol duty。

The policemen inside were going round the place to see that all was well and to look out for wrongdoers，persons in need for help，etc.
7. Yes, he did. He thought Magpie might want to accept the scholarship but he didn't know for sure。

Elgie remembered clearly how Magpie had talked about freedom with his friends on the Augustana College Campus when he had to hide out after that Custer thing, and he also knew that freedom had become Magpie's main topic of conversation. But in Crow Creek，Magpie could never be free when he was closely watched by his parole officer。

8。

It tells us that the whites looked down upon the Indians and the whites were cruel to them。

The Indians did not have freedom and their human rights were not protected by the law.
B
1。

当他说那些反对政府和议会的话时，他变得越来越可怕和哀怨,我常常为他担心.
2. 好吧，你愿怎么想就怎么想吧,但你最近与他谈过话吗？你知道他现在怎么样吗？
3。

如果像你说的那样，他是一个印第安人，不管这是什么意思,如果他亲口告诉我他这次回来就是要待在这里，我就不再劝他了。

4。

—辆警车朝我们停车的拐角处慢慢驶来，巡警目不转睛地看着我们三个人，我的装着没注意到。

5. 我想你来的正好,因为在这种不断的监视和检查之下，喜鹊需要一些放松.
6. “但关于这还有些情况,”他说道，“喜鹊本不应在那里，明白吗？因为假释的条件之一是他应远离朋友、
亲戚和刑满释放的囚犯，几乎不能见任何人。

7。

一片沉寂笼罩着房子,使我充满了忧虑。

我们走进敞开的后门时，看到人们站在厨房里。

F
When I learned that Magpie had got the scholarship from a University of California and had the chance to study in a Fine Arts School, I felt very glad for him. I knew he had always wanted to be a poet，and I also knew he had the ability. For him，this was really a very good chance. So I returned to Crow Creek，hoping to tell him the good news and asking him to fill out some forms。

I didn’t find him at his home. His wife said that they had lived apart，and that she only heard that he was in Chamberlain. Then I went to see Salina and asked her to help find Magpie. Salina said Magpie had changed much after he was put in jail，and she thought he was no longer interested in going to white’s universities. But I said Magpie should know the news and decide whether to go or not himself。

She agreed and took me to Magpie’s good friend, Elgie。

But，when I was finally about to see Magpie, he had already been shot dead by the police.
Lesson Seven Miss Brill
A
1. It was so brilliantly fine-the blue sky powdered with gold。

The air was motionless and it was a little chilly.
2。

She loved her fur very，much。

She called her for：dear little thing, or little rogue. She felt it was nice to feel it and gave it a good brush. She rubbed the life back into the little dim eyes. She regarded it as a live thing. She talked to it, And she treated it as her company。

In a word，she loved it very much。

3。

Because the season had begun and Miss Brill was in a good mood.
4。

Miss Brill felt disappointed, for she always looked forward to the conversation. She had become really quite expert，at listening as though she didn't listen, at sitting in other people’s lives just for a minute while they talked round her。

5。

Miss Brill felt they were odd，silent，still as statues, nearly all old and from the way they stored they’d just come from dark little rooms or even cupboards. They were old and poor people。

6。

She most probably was an prostitute。

It’s very rude to breathe a big puff of smoke into another person's face, especially that of a woman。

It’s also very rude to walk away while the other person is still talking to you. The fact that the man dared to do both to the woman and the woman was not offended indicated that she most probably was a prostitute. And also from her shabby old hat and from the shabby old color of her hair，her face，and her eyes, we can see that she most probably was an old prostitute.
7. She discovered that it was like a play。

She wasn’t only the audience，not only looking on. She was part of the performance。

She was on the stage. The discovery made her so joyous。

8. She made a living by teaching a few pupils English and by reading the newspaper to an old man four afternoons a week。

9. Because the boy and the girl looked down upon her and disliked her. The girl laughed at her beloved fur and the boy said to her “Be off with you”. At that moment she felt that she was nothing and she was not worth a cent。

So she felt very sad，lonely，and desperate。

And she went straight home。

10. When she put the necklet back in its box she heard something crying。

B
1。

尽管天是这样的阳光明媚——湛蓝的天空涂上了金色,点点的光斑就像白葡萄酒泼洒在公共花园里一一但是布里尔小姐还是很高兴自己戴上了狐狸皮毛围巾。

2. 就像一个人在给家人演奏，如果没有陌生人在场的话，家人并不在意是怎么演奏的.
3。

有时一个蹒跚学步的小不点会突然摇摇摆摆地从树下走到开阔地，停下来，眼睛睁得大大的，突然“扑通”一声坐到了地上，直到它时髦而做作的妈妈,像只年轻的母鸡，责备着冲过去将他扶起.
4. 乐队似乎也知道她的感受，演奏得更柔、更轻了。

而鼓则一遍又—遍地敲着“畜生、畜生”。

5。

那颗垂朽的头颅抬了起来,那双老眼颤抖着闪烁出两点光芒。

6。

她也会加入，她也会，以及那些坐在长凳上的其他的人们——他们将以一种伴唱的形式加入-—一种低低的，几乎没有起伏的声音，那种声音是那么美妙——动人……
7。

如果里面有杏仁，那就像带回家一个小礼物-—一份惊喜——一件本来可能不在那儿的东西。

8。

在蛋糕里有杏仁的星期天，她会匆匆回家，兴致勃勃地划亮火柴去找水壶。

C

3。

in accordance with the time of music，bumped against four girls walking side by side，and almost fell.
4。

.。

.she thought it was very important and necessary for her to leave home...
5。

Why doesn’t she stay at home？
6。

...Sunday delight
7。

.。

on Sundays when the cake had an almond in it。

8。

she walked past the backer’s and paid no attention to it.
F
Miss Brill was an Englishwoman who lived in a seaside city in France. She was old and poor. She went to the park on every Sunday afternoon. She always sat on the same bench, listening to other people’s chat while they talked around her，or watching other people's lives unfold before her eyes。

That Sunday afternoon，she suddenly had a feeling。

She felt that she was part of the company, that the life was like a play，and that she had a part in it. At that moment, loneliness began to leave her。

But just at that time, she heard a young couple talking about her with contempt. And the young man even ordered her to go away. The transient happiness vanished。

She went home with a broken heart。

Lesson Eight A Lesson in Living
A
1。

No, she didn’t.
2。

Because she wanted to help Marguerite。

She told Marguerite the importance of language and encouraged her to talk; and she gave Marguerite some books and told her to read them aloud. 3. She told Marguerite that she “must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy.” She encouraged Marguerite to learn mother wit。

Then she read to Marguerite A Tale of Two Cities so beautifully that Marguerite felt the beauty of the human voice.
4. Ignorance，which is the result from not trying to learn，is intolerable；but illiteracy, which is a result from poverty，is understandable.
5。

Yes，she was。

Her problem was that the teachers found it hard to get her to talk in class。

6。

No，she wasn’t born quiet. Because the unfortunate happening in St. Louis, she thought she was sinful and dirty，and she was obsessed by the incident and remained quiet，feeling that she was neither forgive nor understood.
7。

Because Mrs。

Flowers wanted to get Marguerite to talk.
8。

Mrs. Flowers made Marguerite realize the beauty of language and the wisdom of Negroes. This encouraged her a lot in her later life.
9. In the child’s eyes，Mrs. Flowers was a perfect woman. She was the measure of human beings。

10. No，they weren’t equal in the town of Stamps.
B
1. 她的黑色的皮肤美丽而细腻，好像划一下,就会像李子一样脱皮。

2. 要是换了跟她一样健康、一样年龄的另一位黑人妇女，就会用一只手把那些纸袋拿回家。

3。

费劳尔斯太太走在前面，边甩胳膊边石头上挑着路走.
4. 词的含义不止写在纸上那些。

5。

要用人的声音给词语注入更深层的意思。

6。

她建议我用尽可能多的声调来说同一句话。

7。

Man created language and made it a tool of communication with his fellow being。

One of the differences between the oral and the written forms of language is that the oral form can infuse words with subtle shades of meaning through the human voice. Mrs. Flowers was nearly singing when she read A Tale of Two Cities。

It was wonderful. Her reading helped me to see the magic powers of language. Mrs. Flowers gave me novels and books of poems. I learned from these books the value of life，and realized how beautiful the language of literary works was. Lesson Nine The Trouble with Television
A
1. Because Americans spend a lot of time watching TV。

On the average，by the age of 20 they will have been exposed to at least 20,000 hours of televisions.
2。

He could have got a bachelor's degree, learned enough to become an astronomer or an engineer or have learned several languages fluently.
3. A lot of television usurps one of the most precious of all human gifts，the ability to focus your attention yourself，rather than just passively surrender it; it sells people instant gratification; it helps people kill time.
4. Because the best way to avoid losing the attention of the audience is to keep everything brief，to provide constant stimulation through variety，novelty，action，and movement。

Time allotted to each program must be short so as not to strain people’s attention。

5. He thinks TV news results in inefficient communication. It makes things ultimately boring and
dismissable.
6. Because television tends to cultivate the following assumptions：that complexity must be avoided, that visual stimulation is a substitute for thought，that accuracy in words is out of date。

7。

Because everything has become more complex，not less，and human problems usually have no neat resolutions. But TV sells neat resolutions to human problems。

8。

To encourage people to look at TV skeptically and critically so as to find and resist the adverse influence of television。

F
Man has a very short attention span。

Therefore, in order to capture the viewers’ attention, television must provide constant stimulation through variety，novelty, action and movement. This results in inefficient communication because news is too brief；a lot of news programs are like “machine-gunning with scrap” and break coherence of thought。

The appeal to the short attention span is decivilizing as well. To avoid complexity is to sacrifice thought. Among adult Americans, the number of “functionally illiterate” people is increasing。

They even don’t know how to answer the want ad and they don't understand the instructions on a medicine bottle。

Television at least partly contributes to the cause。
