unit 1 Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream LifeIn America many people have a romantic idea of life in the countryside. Many living in towns dream of starting up their own farm, of living off the land. Few get round to putting their dreams into practice. This is perhaps just as well, as the life of a farmer is far from easy, as Jim Doherty discovered when he set out to combine being a writer with running a farm. Nevertheless, as he explains, he has no regrets and remains enthusiastic about his decision to change his way of life.在美国,不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的情感。

许多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场,梦想着靠土地为生。

很少有人真去把梦想变为现实。

或许这也没有什么不好,因为,正如吉姆·多尔蒂当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的那样,农耕生活远非轻松自在。

但他写道,自己并不后悔,对自己作出的改变生活方式的决定仍热情不减。

Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream LifeJim Doherty1 There are two things I have always wanted to do -- write and live on a farm. Today I'm doing both. I am not in E. B. White's class as a writer or in my neighbors' league as a farmer, but I'm getting by. And after years of frustration with city and suburban living, my wife Sandy and I have finally found contentment here in the country.多尔蒂先生创建自己的理想生活吉姆·多尔蒂有两件事是我一直想做的――写作与务农。

跨文化沟通中的误解与策略In the age of globalization, cross-cultural communication has become increasingly important. However, this communication often leads to misunderstandings due to differences in cultural backgrounds, communication styles, and values. The present article aims to explore the reasons behind these misunderstandings and suggest strategies to overcome them.Cultural backgrounds play a crucial role in cross-cultural communication. People from different cultures have distinct ways of viewing the world, interpreting situations, and responding to others. For instance, in some cultures, direct eye contact is considered a sign of respect and honesty, while in others, it may be perceived as aggressive or disrespectful. Similarly, gestures and facialexpressions can have entirely different meanings indifferent cultures.Communication styles also vary among cultures. Some cultures prefer a more indirect and implicit communication style, relying heavily on context and nonverbal cues. Others, however, prefer a more direct and explicit style,focusing on the literal meaning of words. This can lead to misunderstandings when people from different cultures communicate, as they may not be aware of these stylistic differences.Values and beliefs also play a significant role incross-cultural communication. People from differentcultures may have vastly different values and beliefs,which can affect their communication patterns and interpretations. For instance, some cultures may emphasize individualism and competitiveness, while others may value collectivism and cooperation. These differences can lead to misunderstandings when people from different cultures interpret situations and messages through their owncultural lens.To overcome these misunderstandings, it is essential to adopt a culturally sensitive approach in cross-cultural communication. Here are some strategies that can help:1. Be aware of your own cultural biases and assumptions: It is important to recognize that your own cultural background and values may influence your interpretation of situations and messages. By being aware of these biases,you can avoid projecting your own cultural norms onto others.2. Learn about the other culture: Before engaging in cross-cultural communication, it is helpful to research and understand the other culture's communication styles, values, and beliefs. This will help you anticipate potential misunderstandings and adapt your communication style accordingly.3. Use universal communication techniques: There are some communication techniques that are widely recognizedand accepted across cultures, such as active listening,clear and concise language, and the use of examples and illustrations. By employing these techniques, you canensure that your message is understood by people from different cultures.4. Seek feedback and clarification: When communicating with people from different cultures, it is always a good idea to seek feedback and clarification. This will help you verify your understanding of the situation and ensure that your message is being interpreted correctly.In conclusion, cross-cultural communication can indeed be challenging due to differences in cultural backgrounds, communication styles, and values. However, by adopting a culturally sensitive approach and employing effective communication strategies, we can overcome these misunderstandings and establish meaningful and productive cross-cultural relationships.**跨文化沟通中的误解与策略**在全球化的时代,跨文化沟通变得愈发重要。

Looking out over the ocean I find myself thinking about how much I owe to you. Yet I have never got round to telling you just how thankful I feel towards you for all you have done for me. There are so many things, I don't know where to start and would never get to the end once I begin. But if I had to pick just one thing it would perhaps be the love of books and reading I learnt from you. Those after-dinner quizzes at the table about the books we had just read and the new words we had picked up, I can see them in my mind's eye as if it were yesterday. Not many are as lucky in their father as I am. So, simply, thank you.Your loving son,Alex- 122 -Appendix IDear Rev. Nelson,I am writing this on board my ship. It is Thanksgiving. My thoughts have been turning to all those who have done so much for me in the past and how I have never taken the time to thank them properly. Naturally, you were among the first to come to mind. You were, quite simply, the very best teacher a child could wish for. You gave us so many different gifts, but, if I were forced to choose one, then it would be your morning prayers at assembly at the start of each day. Whatever positive things I have done since can often be traced to the impression left by those prayers. For that guidance and all the other things I was lucky enough to learn from you, I shall always be in your debt.Your affectionate student,Alex HaleyDear Grandma,Here I am, on board my ship, and a thousand miles away from your wonderful cooking on Thanksgiving! Standing here at the rail, looking out at the sunset, I've been turning the meaning of Thanksgiving around in my mind and come up with the idea that it is just the time to be giving thanks to those we owe them to. And who better to start with than you? How could I have grown up without your help? You always found just the right way of showing me with those wonderful stories of yours the importance of telling the truth, of sharing and forgiving, of being considerate of others. Quite simply, you sprinkled my life with Stardust. Thank you.Love. •{... ■■Alex。

Unit 5 Active readingThe lonely American1 Americans in the 21st century devote more technology to staying connected than any society in history, yetsomehow the devices fail us: Studies show that we feel increasingly alone. Our lives are spent in a tug-of-warbetween conflicting desires – we want to stay connected, and we want to be free. We lurch back and forth, reachingfor both. How much of one should we give up in order to have more of the other? How do we know when weit right?2 Yet people in this country continue to drift apart. We need to know why.frenetic busyness of our lives. Americans may be the only people in the world who3 First, let’s look at thebelieve that each individual has the right and the capacity to fit whatever he or she wants into one small life. Americais the original “You can be anything you want if you really try, and it’s never too late to start tryingto4 A good friend described the impact of busyness on our neighborhoods brilliantly: “Being nei mean visiting people. Now being nice to your neighbors means not bothering them.” People’s lives how busy they are. Lives also are shaped by the respect and deference that is given to busyness – especially when it isvalued above connection and community. If people are considerate, they assume that their neighbors are very busyand so try not to intrude on them. Dropping by is no longer neighborly. It is simply rude.hand rather than an activity that is essential 5We treat socializing as if it’s a frivolous diversion from the tasks atto our well-being as individuals and as a community. Soon our not bothering to call people (or even email them) getsread by others as a sign that we are too caught up in the busy sweep of our own lives to have time for them. Ourfriends are not surprised. Our relatives may be indignant, but even they know how hard it is. An unspoken understanding develops. It’s too bad that we’ve lost touch, but that’s just the way it is.6 The pace of everyday life may push us toward isolation, but there is a pull, as well: a very seductive picture ofstanding apart as a victory, not a retreat. Ever since Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote his famous essay and Henry DavidThoreau set out to embody the concept in his cabin on Walden Pond, a long series of American icons have idealizedthe concept of self-reliance.7 And when we do find ourselves isolated, by standing tall in our own minds, side by side with self-reliant heroes, each of us is suddenly no longeralone but part of a group –a great American tradition of lonesome cowboys and go-it-alone entrepreneurs. That psychological magic becomes the spoonful of sugar that makes painful experiences of finding ourselves left outeasier to swallow. We may have isolated ourselves without entirely meaning to, but we also have ended up in a placethat looks a lot like where we always knew that we were supposed to stand. On the outside, proud to be there.8 It is also the last place on earth that a person would want to be.9 The consequences of social disconnection are both extensive and remarkably diverse. To begin with, socialsupport is an important determinant of overall health. It has significant effects on longevity, on an individual’s response to stress, on immune functions, and on the incidence of a variety of specific illnesses. In diseases as variedas heart attacks and dementia, medical research repeatedly has found that social networks and social activity have aprotective effect.10 Social isolation damages ecological health as well. The rising tide of single-person households strains theearth’s resources. Additionally, in our consumer-oriented culture, a common solution to not having enough people inone’s life is to turn to things, objects that will define one’s identity through possessions rather than through one’splace in a social world. (We once passed an elegant store in New York City whose name summed up the problem:More and More. We watched the shop from across the street, keeping a safe distance.)11 The truth is that if one can bring oneself to acknowledge loneliness, half the battle is won. It is not an easyhalf of a battle, however. When we began to talk about these ideas with friends, their first response was to passionately defend their styles of staying disconnected. Having chosen, like so many Americans, to step back, theyexplained how right the choice has been for them.12 Small daily choices – whether to go to a local store or order off the Internet, whether to pick up a ringingtelephone or let it go to voicemail, whether to get together with a friend or pop in a DVD –end up defining one’s social world. These little decisions are cumulative. You step back a little from others. They step back a little from you.You feel a little left out. Feeling left out, unexamin ed, leads you to step back further. But feeling left out, when itexamined,can lead people to work a little harder to reconnect.13 Loneliness was never the goal. It’s just the spot where too many people wind up. We get stuck because the world we have wandered away from is so frantic and demanding. We get stuck because we have dreamed about lonesome heroes who stand defiantly apart. We get stuck because we feel left out and stop looking for ways back in.We should remember that the outside was not meant to be our final destination.孤独的美国人1 在使人与人保持联系方面,21世纪的美国人投入了比历史上任何一个社会都要多的技术手段。
