11.1The economyEconomic issues1What does this quotation mean? Do you agree?‘The gap in our economy is between what we have and what we think we ought to have and that is a moral problem, not an economy one.’Paul Heyne, Economics lecture2Choose the right word to complete these sentences about the economy1 The cost of life/living in London is so high now that many people on low incomes/revenues find it difficult to live there.2 Insecurity in the job/work market has affected consumer confidence/trust.3 The government has cut a lot of public segment/sector jobs and contracted the work out to private /self-employed companies.4 Foreign investing/investment in our manufacturing industry has helped economic growth/growing up.5 The unemployment ratio/rate in some parts of the country is over 20% and the benefits/subsidy that the government pays to the jobless is very high.6 Abroad/Foreign imports are increasing and the country now has a big trade deficit/shortage.7 Competition and a free/open market has brought prices down and has increased people’s buying power/ability.8 The tax burden/pressure on companies is so heavy now that many of them are delocating /relocating to countries where taxes are lighter.3 Put these words that describe the economy in order from the most positive(++) to the most negative(--).Stable booming buoyant depressed healthy stagnant4 Which best describes your country’s economy at the moment? What are thereasons for its condition?5How does the welfare state work in your country?1 Are the benefits paid by the state to the unemployed, the disable, pregnant women and retired people generous or not?2 Do you think these benefits should be paid by the state or by private insurance?6Read the article about the relationship between governments and big business. Is it optimistic about this relationship? Why? / Why not?Finance Weekly, 10 SeptemberThe new philanthropists T he 19th century was the age of capitalism, the 20th century socialism. The 21st century, it seems, will be the age of charity. But, as Mrs Thatcher said, ‘The Good Samaritan had to earn his money first.’Warren Buffet, when he made a gift of $31bn to the Gates Foundation, already worth $29bn, joked that his children would have to work for their living –apart from a billion dollar handout to each.Later, when Buffett and Gates held a press conference to announce what they intended to do with their fortune, it was clear that channeling it through government was not an option. ‘Bill and Melinda will do a better job than…the Federal Treasury,’said Buffet. Instead they would ‘seek out talent to distribute their money just as they sought out talent to acquire it’.For these tycoons, who have prospered in the free market global economy, government and the public sector are monopolistic and inefficient. Governments may have built the welfare state in the 20th century, but to provide them with free cash to support these structures (schools, hospital, etc) was not on their agenda. Instead their efforts will be focused on alleviating world poverty and disease, and improving access to technology.Adam Smith’s ‘invisible hand’, the economic theory that the market will run smoothly if it is left to decide what products are sold and at what price, has been the guiding principle behind globalization. In America it has produced large fortunes for a handful of successful industrialists: men who now, it seems, are turning to philanthropy.Opponents say that the free market shows no regard for social concerns and encourages poor employment and environmental standers. Wealth, they argue, is now concentrated among a handful of global corporations whose only accountable to their shareholders. They would like to see governments put a brake on the activities of bigbusiness.But the power of governments, national and international, is dwindling. The welfare states of the 20th century, and the public sector workers who staff them, are slowly being replaced –if not by private sector principle synonymous with inefficiency and waste.At the sane time, the agents of international government- the UN, the IME, the World Bank and the EU- have subsidized too many economies. As their reputation declines, they will be replaced by the charity of the privates sector.Children of the 60s, like Bill Gates, have exploited the free market ruthlessly, but now they are preaching freedom and love are choosing to give back to society. Their hearts are in the right place. But they share one enemy- modern government in all its forms. As Buffett said, only a fool gives his money to the treasury.Will such people make better world? Who knows? But they mean to try.1Reading the article on page 107 again and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.1Wareen Buffett’s children willA. not get a penny from their father.B. get a job with their father.C. get a billion dollars each.D. have to earn their money as he did.2Who will organise the handing out of Buffett’s fortune?A.Bill and Melinda Gates.B.Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.C.The Federal Treasury.D.People specially employed by the Gates and Buffett.3 What will the money not be spent on?A.Schools and hospital in the US.B.Helping the word’s poor people.C.Helping the world’s sick.D.Providing Internet and communications technology to more people.4 Opponents in the sixth paragraph refers to opponents ofA.Multinational companies and their shareholders.B.The economic system that has produced globalization.C.Philanthropists like Buffett.D.The smooth running of the market.5 What is happening to government, national and international, according to the author?A.It has become too powerful.B.It has too many agents.C.It has becoming corrupt.D.It is losing influence.6 What does the phrase their hearts are in the right place say about people like Gates and Buffett?A.Money is not so important to them.B.They have good intentions.C.Their actions are damaging.D.They are led by their emotions.2 Find a word or phrase in the text which is the opposite of the following.1 live off your inheritance2 struggled3 supporters4 poverty5 becoming greater6 strengthened3 Do your think that rich philanthropists can do a better job than governments in helping the needy in society?4 Which of these economic points of view do your agree with?1‘No society ever prospered by punishing the rich. They are the ones who create wealth in our communities and raise everyone’s stander of living.2 ‘Governments should not worry about rich. The rich will always finda way to look after themselves. It is the job of government to look after the poor in society.’Conditionals (Types 1 and 2)5What is the difference in meaning between these sentences?1a If they raise the rate of income tax for top earners, these people will probably leave the country.2b If raised the rate of income tax for top earners, these people would probably leave the country.2a If earn a lot of money in my career, I will probably also give a lot to charity.2b If I had as much money as Warren Buffett, I would probably also give a lot to charity.Conditionals (Types 1 and 2)Note the forms of both types of sentence.If+ present,…will + infinitive (without to)If+ past,…would+ infinitive (without to ).We use the first type of if sentence for situations which are real and possible..We use the second for situations which are either unreal or improbable.6 Decide if the forms used in these sentences are correct or not. If not, correct them.0If I am ten years younger, I will ask her to marry me. Incorrect(×) If I am were ten years younger, I will would ask her to marry me1If I see him, I will certainly give him your message.2If I knew the answer to that, I’d be a rich man.3If you were going to be late, please would you call me and let me know.4If you are in my position, what will you do?5We will have to look for another supplier if they continue to raise their prices every three months.6I would n’t do your job unless I was paid a fortune!7If I have a better knowledge of finance, I will come with you if you promise to do the negotiating yourself.Socio-economic problems7 Which of the following are problems in your country? Decide if they are a1 Discuss the list on page 109 with your partner. What are the main problems? What is the government doing about them?2 What more could they do? Use if sentences to make suggestions.If the government increased the rate of tax for top earners and reduced the rate for the lowest earners, the gap between rich and poor would become smaller.3 You are thinking of relocating to another country to set up a small manufacturing company.1 Make a list of the most important factors to consider in deciding where.2 Compare your list with a partner.4 Read the text. What reasons for relocating to Nicaragua does the author highlight?Nicaragua?Yes, please!5 What is meant by these phrase in the text?1 Advantages few other places can match2 Exempt from import duties3 Too good to pass up4 The laid-back atmosphere5 Get in on the ground floorRelocation experience6. 11.1Listen to these five people talking about their experiences of relocating home or business..The first time you listen, indicate the reason for the move. .The second time, indicate what problem arose that they did not expect.TASK ONE-REASON1 A cheaper labour costs2 B lower local taxes for companiesC better climate3 D better quality of lifeE expansion4 F shorter travel time to work5 G to be closer to suppliersTASK TWO-PROBLEM6 A having to travel long distanceB customers are further away7 C not much to do in the eveningsD some wasted space8 E it’s no cheaper than other regionsF it’s sometimes noisy9 G workers are poorly skilledH cost of living is rising107What do these expressions from the listening passage mean?1it was just a carrot to get people to move here2it’s ten minutes away, which is really handy3without fiving it a second thought4the salary bill is creeping up5we decided to take the plunge6you can’t have it both ways8 What/Where would be your ideal place to live and work?

Lesson11 Not guiltyGoing through the Customs is a tiresome business. The strangest thing about it is that really honest people are often made to feel guilty. The hardened professional smuggler, on the other hand, is never troubled by such feelings, even if he has five hundred gold watches hidden in his suitcase. When I returned from abroad recently, a particularly officious young Customs Officer clearly regarded me as a smuggler.'Have you anything to declare?' he asked, looking me in the eye. 'No,' I answered confidently.'Would you mind unlocking this suitcase please ?''Not at all,' I answered.The Officer went through the case with great care. All the things I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess. I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up. He had spotted a tiny bottle at the bottom of my case and he pounced on it with delight.'Perfume, eh?' he asked sarcastically. 'You should have declared that.' Perfume is not exempt from import duty.''But it isn't perfume,' I said.' It's hairoil.' Then I added with a smile,' It's a strange mixture I make myself.' As I expected, he did not believe me.'Try it!' I said encouragingly.The Officer unscrewed the cap and put the bottle to his nostrils. He was greeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth. A few minutes later, I was able to hurry away with precious chalkmarks on my baggage.现在的海关官员往往相当宽容。

• I like to think of her as a child. His grandmother was born (around 1880) at a time when the Kiowa were still living in their golden time or to be more exact, the last moment of their golden time. Starting from Paragraph 3, the author links his grandmother with the history of the Kiowa.
Structure of the Text
Part I: Paras 1-3: introduction to the whole text
Part II: Paras 4-10: the author explores the three stages of the Kiowa culture emergence, evolution and decline.
• Loneliness is an aspect of the land
Loneliness is a major quality of this landscape. The author emphasizes loneliness, perhaps because this quality enables one to concentrate one’s mind on the earth.
• One hill or one tree or one man:
The use of “one” instead of an indefinite article “a” emphasizes the fact that there is only one hill, only one tree or only one man.

An arc welding is used most often as a welding process of steel material . When welds comparatively thin plates, it is easy to handle with a gas welding. A TIG welding is used for welding stainless steel or aluminum alloy. A soldering is the jointing method similar to the welding.

《高级英语》(第三版)重排版(第一册)Lesson 11 The Way to Rainy MountainKey to ExercisesIII. Paraphrase1. The landscape makes your imagination vivid and lifelike, and you believe that the creation of the whole universe was begun right here.2. The Kiowa often fought just because they were good warriors, because they fought out of habit, character, nature, not because they needed extra lands or material gains for the sake of surviving and thriving. And they could not understand why the U.S. Cavalry never gave up pushing forward even when they had won a battle.3. Luckily, my grandmother did not suffer the humiliation of being put into a closure for holding animals, for she was born eight or ten years after the event.4. They moved toward the east, where the sun rises, and also toward the beginning ofa new culture, which led to the greatest moment of their history.5. Now they got horses. Riding on horseback, instead of walking on foot, gave them this new freedom of movement, thus completely liberating their ancient nomadic spirit.6. The earth unfolds and the limit of the land is far in the distance, where there are clusters of trees and animals eating grass. This landscape makes it possible to see far into the distance and in all directions.7. I was not sure that I had any right to overhear her praying, which did not follow any customary way of praying, and which I guess she did not want anyone else to hear.8. In this way she was completely moved to another state in the dancing light among the shadows of her room, and she seemed to be timeless (what she represented would last for ever).9. On these special occasions, women might make loud and elaborate jokes and talk among themselves. Their gossip revealed their position as servants of men and was also a reward for their servitude.IV. Practice with Words and ExpressionsA.1. knoll: a hillock2. anvil: an iron or steel block on which metal objects are hammered into shape3. writhe: to twist and turn the body as in agony4. infirm: weak or ill especially because one is old5. headwaters: the beginning of a large stream or river6. fork: the point where a river is divided into two or more branches, or where branches join to form a river7. pilgrimage: a journey made by a pilgrim, especially to a shrine or holy place; any long journey to a place of historical interest8. engender: to bring into being, bring about, produce9. consummate: to make complete, perfect10. beadwork: decorative work in beads11. warlord: a military leader, especially an unofficial one fighting against a government or king12. hie: to hurry or hastenB.In language, alliteration refers to repetition of a particular sound in the first syllables of a series of words and/or phrases. Alliteration has historically developed largely through poetry and is still used often in poetry. In the essay “The Way to Rainy Mountain,” the author uses alliteration a lot. Here are some examples from the essay: brittle and brown (Para. 1), willow and witch hazel (Para. 1), great green-and-yellow grasshoppers (Para. 1), the eagle and the elk (Para. 6), the badger and the bear (Para. 6), bent and blind (Para. 6), sad in the sound (Para. 11), lean and leather (Para. 13), jest and gesture (Para. 13), fright and false alarm (Para. 13). The frequent use of alliteration shows the author’s special interest in the sound of language, the rhythm of language, and how words sound to him and the reader. Alliteration helps to achieve a poetic effect of description.C.1. The weather here is extremely harsh.2. In summer the prairie is very hot.3. They were no longer dominated by the simple necessity of survival; they werea proud and dangerous group of fighters and thieves, hunters and pious believers in the sun as their god.4. In a sense, their migration confirmed the ancient myth that they entered the world from a hollow log, for they did emerge from the sunless mountain forests.5. Although my grandmother never left Rainy Mountain in her long life, the immense landscape of the Great Plains existed clearly in her memory as if she had lived there herself.6. As hunters, it was very important for the Kiowa to be able to see a long way. So if a Kiowa could see very far, he would be respected by his fellow Kiowa.7. They would not yet change the direction southward to the land lying below which was like a large kettle. First, they must give their bodies some time to get used to the plains. Second, they didn’t want to lose sight of the mountains so soon.V. TranslationA.1. Changes in the political situation brought the two small parties into alliance.2. His failure was due to his disposition rather than his ability.3. I have something important to discuss with you. Could you spare half an hour?4. Many people prefer to chat online as this can spare them any awkwardness that may occur when talking face to face.5. No longer are the rivers clean and clear, and the water quality has reduced to worse than Level V, unfit even for agricultural irrigation.6. Short as it is, the article is very rich in symbolic implications which deserve a thorough analysis.7. The snow mountain reached into the sky, its beauty beyond all comparison.8. He left home as a child and has seen little of his father since then. So he never feels at home in his father’s presence.9. As this meeting is very important, nobody should be absent without cause.10. In her memory, her mother was at once severe and kind.B.1. 虽然那里很美丽,但人们可能有受束缚、被禁锢的感觉。

高级英语(第三版)第二册第十一课 Four Laws of Ecology Part I)

The Poverty of Power, a bestseller
• Commoner addressed the "Three E's" that were plaguing the United States in the 1970s: • First there was the threat to environmental survival; • then there was the apparent shortage of energy; • and now there is the unexpected decline of the economy. He argued that the three issues were interconnected: the industries that used the most energy had the highest negative impact on the environment; the focus on nonrenewable resources as sources of energy meant that those resources were growing scarce, thus pushing up the price of energy and hurting the economy. Towards the book's end, Commoner suggested that the problem of the Three E's is caused by the capitalistic system and can only be solved by replacing it with some sort of socialism.

What a bundle of contradictions is a man!Surety,humour is the saving grace of us,for without it we should die of vexation.在我看来,没有什么比睡眠更能说明事物间的矛盾。

With me,nothing illustrates the contrariness of things better than the matter of sleep.比如,我打算写一篇文章,面前放好了笔、墨和几张白纸,准保没写几个字我就会困得要命,无论当时是几点都会那样。

If,for example,my intention is to write an essay,and 1 have before me ink and pens and several sheets of virgin paper,you may depend upon it that before I have gone very far I feel an overpowering desire for sleep,no matter what time of the day it is.我瞪着那似乎在谴责我的白纸,直到眼前一片模糊,声音也难以辨清,只有靠意志力才能勉强坚持。

I stare at the reproachfully blank paper until sights and sounds become dim and confused,and it is only by an effort of will that I can continue at all.即使这时,我也会迷迷糊糊地像在做梦一样继续坚持工作。

What was the Customs Officer looking for?Customs Officers are quite tolerant these days, but they can still stop you when you are going through the Green Channel and have nothing to declare. Even really honest people are often made to feel guilty. The hardened professional smuggler, on the other hand, is never troubled by such feelings, even if he has five hundred gold watches hidden in his suitcase. When I returned form abroad recently, a particularly officious young Customs Officer clearly regarded me as a smuggler.'Have you anything to declare?' he asked, looking me in the eye. 'No', I answered confidently.'Would you mind unlocking this suitcase please?''Not at all,' I answered.The Officer went through the case with great care. All the thing I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess. I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up. He had spotted a tiny bottle at the bottom of my case and he pounced on it with delight.'Perfume, eh?' he asked sarcastically. 'You should have declared that. Perfume is not exempt from import duty.''But it isn't perfume,' I said. 'It's hair gel.' Then I added with a smile, 'It's a strange mixture I make myself.'As I expected, he did not believe me.'Try it!' I said encouragingly.The officer unscrewed the cap and put the bottle to his nostrils. He was greeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth. A few minutes later, I was able to hurry away with precious chalk marks on my baggage.参考译文现在的海关官员往往相当宽容。

a ceremony lasting anywhere from four to eight days in summer time, was one of the most spectacular Plains Indian religious rituals. Originally a Lakota rite, it is today considered a sacred ritual by many tribes. The dance, which is performed at the time of the Summer Solstice, involves young men, or ―warriors,‖ piercing themselves with hooks attached by ropes to a larger tree or pole. The dancers circle the pole, staring into the sun, until the hooks break through their flesh. Ultimately, the Sun Dance is intended to insure the harmonious continuance of the natural world, in which death and life are gracefully entwined (woven).



The setting out, which consists of early Kiowa legends and anthropological studies on the Kiowa people. The going on, the second part, continues with the theme of Kiowa mythology, and discusses the origins of Tai-me and the Sun Dance Ritual. The closing in, the last section, describes the end of the Kiowa golden age and has a lot to do with the death of the Kiowa culture.

The Kiowa lived a typical Plains Indian lifestyle. Mostly nomadic, they survived on buffalo meat and gathered vegetables, living in teepees, and depended on their horses for hunting and military uses.


Wallace Stegner ―I know nothing quite like this book, and nothing of the Indian that is once so authentic and so moving.‖

I get a kick out of hearing people say this, but Momaday has been referred to as the Shakespeare of Native American letters. And I think that phrase captures something of his significance, in the sense of a baseline excellence – as a writer. He‘s a person with a tremendously imagistic mind, but he loves the voice in what he does.

of prose and poetry)

―The Indian world is full of aesthetic values, art. My father was an artist, a painter, and he taught painting to the children at Jemez Pueblo. They exhibited all over the world. They became famous for their art. He once said to me, ‗You know, Scott, I have never known an Indian child who couldn‘t draw.‘ I believe that. I haven‘t either. That seems intrinsic somehow. That‘s real part of the Indian world, this love of symmetry and composition. It‘s a great thing. That has been important to me as well. Indian people have a strong sense of humor. It‘s not easily understood by other people, but it‘s there and I love that. That‘s been a part of my life too.‖

The tribe is governed by the Kiowa Indian Council


N. Scott Momaday (winner of Pulitzer) met George W. Bush

Momaday links the survival of his people to their ability to remember, preserve and pass on stories. Taking the idea one step further, Momaday models necessary personal involvement in the stories through the use of imagination. That is, to make sense of and find a place in the contemporary world, one must connect on a personal level with the stories of one‘s past. All families have their Rainy Mountain, the end of the journey, their spiritual ―Home.‖

He was born with an Indian origin. He spent his childhood in several Indian reservations and developed intense interest and passion in the Indian culture and tradition. His career centers around the Indian culture and tradition. His works are informed of the Native Indian traditions.
—— Momaday N. Scott


New York Times ―Written with great dignity, the book has something about it of the timeless, of that long view down which the Kiowa look to their myth-shrouded beginnings.‖

Each chapter is also divided into three parts:
◦ the first consists of the mythological stories of the Kiowas, ◦ the second focuses on the actual history of the Kiowa tribe, ◦ and the third part is the author‘s own observation from when he retraced the long journey to Rainy Mountain his ancestors had taken.
