Morgan Bailey, 11, is happy to be alive.Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive in the gymnasium for her physical education class. Suddenly, there was a loud noise.“There was a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After tha t, I don’t remember anything.” said Morgan.The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath, she couldn’t escape.“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg, I couldn’t move it. I was starting to get cold.”Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program using “rescue robot” was tried for the first time.“We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed the man in charge of the program，“but in the end ,the robot gave us reliable information. It was extremely well.”The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Morgan’s exact position.“We send in robot first because it may not be safe for humans,” said Mr. Sneed. “Human beings are not as useful as robots in some situations.A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me, but wouldn’t hurt a robot.”Although it didn’t happen in Morgan’s case, some rescue robots can bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped.Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life or death situations. They have to be durable.Doctor says that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home in two or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she gets out of the hospital“I want to meet my hero,” laughs Morgan, “that little robot that saved my life！”Ad or no adIs advertising really necessary Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it’s a busy world. You have to advertise, sell products and makemoney.！Not every company thinks that way. The No-Ad company (“no-ad”stands for “not advertised”) avoids big advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960, and is successful today. Their products are still affordable because the company saves the money on advertising. They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.No-Ad sells by word of mouth. “Word of mouth advertising”happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member or colleague. And so a chain of information is created.Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Studies show that our product is the best”or “Everyone loves this product”, it can sound insincere or unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from someone who did not make it. Our friends’opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages too, it’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free). And a company doesn’thave to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word- of-mouth advertising: Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know who you will meet. Always carry business cards.Only say positive things about your company. Don’t say negative things about your company.Help other companies by referring people to them. The more you help others, the more good fortune will come back to you.。

新视野大学英语视听说教程第四册答案Unit8.

Uint8II. Basic Listening Practice1.ScriptM:Scentists claim the world population has 99.5% of the same DNA.W: But this doesn’t tell us there is no such thing as race.Q: What is true of the DNA of difference races?2.ScriptW: With the advent of the genetic map we know where everything is, but do we know where to go with it?M: Your map seems to differ largely from my geographical map!Q: What does the man imply?3.ScriptM: As you know, it has taken millions of years of evolution and natural selection to get us where we are today.W: Yes, but now that we have genetic engineering, we seem to have decided that we want to be God.Q: What does the woman imply?4.ScriptM: I think the research into cloning will lead us into dangers, filling us with false hopes of perfection.W: It’s too late to turn back the clock. We’ll just have to depend on common sense to solve uncommon problems.Q: What does the woman mean?5.ScriptW: In America, many prisoners are having their cases reviewed, and some have even been freed through DNA testing.M: Except for the ones whose death sentence has already been carried out.Q: What can we learn about DNA testing from the dialog?Keys: 1.B 2.C 3.D 4.A 5.CIII. Listening InTask 1: Stem Cell ResearchScriptGregory: The Republican party in America is opposing stem cell research. I find ithard to believe that in this day and age, someone would do that.Lillian: Stem cell research sounds pretty impressiv e, I’ll admit. But just what is it? Gregory: Well, a stem cell is a special type of cell. It is a general cell that, when it devides, can become any specific type of cell.Lillian: You mean, a stem cell can become a heart cell? Or a brain or a kidney cell? Gregory: That’s about it. Stem cells are a part of the body’s maintenance and r epair system. When they divide, they can become any cell type.Lillian: I guess there would be some tremendous medical advantages in that sort of research.Gregory: You’ve said a mouthful. Recently, scientists were able to help a man who lost a jawbone for cancer. They recreated bone material for his jaw from stemcells. What it means is that since the new bone was created out of theperson’s own c ells, there was no problem with rejection because the DNAwas the same.Lillian: I bet the person was delighted. Why would anyone oppose that sort of research? It would seem to have endless potential to benefit the human race. Gregory: I agree, but there are people who think we should not interfere with nature and manipulate “what is natural”.Lillian: It’s easier to hold such a narrow view if you’re not in a position to need the benefits of the research. If you’re missing a jawbone because of cancer, youprobably support the research.1.What is the passage mainly about?2.Who is against stem cell research?3.What is special about a stem cell?4.When can a stem cell become another cell type?5.According to the passage, why do some people oppose stem cell research? Keys: 1.B 2.A 3.A 4.A 5.DTask 2: The Improvement of RiceScriptScientists now know a lot more about a grain that people have eaten for ten thousand years. (S1 Research teams around the world have completed a map of the (S2 genes of rices. The findings appeared last week in the (S3 journal Nature.The aim is to speed up the improvement of rice. The scientists (S4 warn that the kinds of rice plants used now have reached the limit of their (S5 productivity. Yet world rice production must (S6 grow by an estimated 30 percent in the next twenty to meet demand. By 2025, as many as 4.6 billion people will depend on rice for (S7 survival. There is a lot of pressure on breeders to improve the crop, and the rice genome is a valuable tool to do that. (S8 Plant breeders have already used preliminary information from the rice genome to create experimental strains of ricethat better resist cold and pests.The researchers also say rice is an excellent choice for genetic mapping and engineering. Rice genes have only about 390 million chemical bases. That maight sound like a lot. But other major food grains have thousands of millions. (S9 The new map could better explain more than just rice. Rice shares a common ancestor with other cereal crops. Because rice is the first cereal crop to be fully analyzed, researchers expect that sufficient knowledge of its genetic information will reveal the heredity of more complex grains, including corn, wheat and barley.(S10 While significant progress has been made in the analysis of the rice genome, the mapping of human genes is also making headway. When scientists can identify and manipulate genes that cause certain diseases, mankind will cure them easily. The human genetic map may help us control a person’s height, w eight, appearance and even length of life.Task3: The First Cloned CatScriptIn the age-old battle of cats and dogs, score one for the cats. Researchers at TexasA&M University recently announced that they have successfully cloned a cat name Rainbow—the first pet ever cloned—after several years of unsuccessful efforts to clone a dog name Missy.The ork, financed by a company hoping to provide pet-cloning services to wealthy owners, adds cats to a growing list of successfully cloned animals that includes pigs, sheep, cattle and mice.The success demonstrates cloning is a technology that could be transferred to other animal families as well. The accomplishment may provide new tools for studying diseases such as cats’ AIDS, a valuable research model for AIDS in humans. Research into animal cloning remains an important scientific alternative until the issue of human cloning is settled. And that seems unlikly in the immediate future, for it involves religious and moral principles. There are, for example, groups that insist no one should be allowed to take on the role of God the Creator.To create cloned cat embryos for the experiment, researchers transferred DNA from adult cat cells into egg cells stripped of their own genetic information. Out of 82 attempts with cloned embryos, one attempt resulted in a failed pregnancy, and another yielded a kitten named CC, delivered from a surroga te mother on December 22. The kitten’s name refers to “Carbon Copy” and “Copycat”, the name of the cloning project.Cloning attempts with dogs have proven unsuccessful in part becausedogs’reproductive cycles are more complicated.The technique may also work with endangered cats such as the African wildcat, fishing cat and blackfooted cat.Ironically, the increased knowledge of cat reproduction may best be suited fordeveloping cat contraceptives to control the U.S. cat population.1.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?1.What did researchers at Texas A&M University recently announce?2.Which animals are NOT mentioned in the passage as having been cloned?3.According to the passage, why is human cloning unlikely to happen in the nearfuture?4.What does the passage say about the pregnancy and birth in cat cloning?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.B 5.CIV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 Why are people protesting againstgenetically modified foods?Susan: With so many people suffering from malnutrition around the world, why are people protesting against genetically modified foods?Chris: Some people are protesting about genetically modified foods, but even more people are protesting the fact that processed foods containing these ingredients aren’t labeled.Susan: But why should they be labeled?Chris: Not everyone is sure that genetically modified foods are safe. They want to be certain that biotech foods have the sme composition as organic foods. Susan: But there are more urgent problems in this world. Many people are dying of starvation.Chris: But those who aren’t starving may want genetically modified foods to be labeled so they know what foods they should andd shouldn’t eat.Susan: Y ou know, I heard of a genetically modified fish that grew to be ten times its normal size.Chris: That sure sounds abnormal.Susan: Yeah, it does sound a bit strange , but that fish could feed ten times as many people.Chris: You’re right; genetically modified food might help solve world hunger. But I think we have a right to know what we are eating.MODEL2 Do you think the cloning of humansshould be forbidden by law?ScriptSusan: After the cloning of Dolly the sheep, I think human cloning is next.John: Whoa. I have some reservations about it. There are stll many scientific problemsto solve before human cloning starts.Susan: There’s an easier way. The Clonaid Company says they’ve cloned humans. John: Oh, my God! These guys claim aliens from another planet taught them human cloning.Susan: A woman gave them half a million dollars to clone her dead daughter. John: Clearly that woman doesn’t know much about cloning. How r isky it is! Susan: I knowit’s inefficient. It took 276 tries to produce Dolly. But why is it risky? John: Cloned animals grow abnormally large and age unnaturally fast.Susan: In other words, that woman may not be happy with her cloned daughter. John: Then there are the emotions. No one knows if cloning damages the mind. Susan: Do you think the cloning of humans should be forbidden by law?John: To my mind, t he cloning of human organs shouldn’t be prohabited. It may help solve medical problems.Susan: I see your point: cloning should be regulated if it’s to benefit humanity.MODEL3 Is it interfering with nature?ScriptNora: Some religious groups are opposed t o genetic research. They believe it’s interfering with nature.John: I know. But nature can be pretty hard-nosed too, so we often need to interfere with her—we build dams to control flooding.Nora: There’re many diseases that are a part of nature, and they cause people a great deal of misery: cancer and diabetes, for example.John: A better understanding of the genetic code that controls our body would be a great help in curing many diseases.Nora: The project to map the human genetic code…what’s that calle d?John: The genome project. As you say, it has tremendous promise to make our lives better—just in the ability to identify and correct genetically-caused diseases like Alzheimer’s.Nora: Some diseases like cancer are also believed to have a genetic switch.John: That’s right, and once researchers identify the switch, perhaps they can turn of f cancer or Alzheimer’s.Nora: People are also concerned that science will enable us to determine such qualities as intelligence and height.John: You know it’s going to happen—it’s just a matter of when.Nora: Imagine if everyone was a combination of Yao Ming and Albert Einstein. John: But what if they get it wrong, and you wind up with Yao Ming’s knowledge of nuclear physics and Albert Einstein’s height?Nora: All those religious groups would say that it served you right.Now Your TurnTask 1SAMPLE DIALOGJane: Some countries are suffering from crop failure and famine, but why do they refuse genetically modified crops and foods?Bob: And many Europeans insist that processed foods containing GM ingredients be labeled.Jane: Why should they be labeled?Bob: Not everyone is sure that genetically modified foods are safe. They want to certain that biotech foods have the same composition as traditional foods. Jane: But there are more urgent problems in this world. Many people are dying of famine.Bob: But tho se who aren’t hungry may want all genetically modified products to be labeled so they know exactly what they’re eating.Jane: You know, I’ve heard of a GM fish that was ten times larger than a normal fish. Bob: That really sounds abnormal.Jane: Some famine-stricken people are afraid GM crops will overpower and eliminate their native crops.Bob: Sounds alarming.Jane: Yeah, but GM foods can feed many people.Bob: You’re r ight; they could solve the problem of starvation in the world. But I think we have a right to know what we are eating. GM food should be labeled. V. Let’s TalkScriptCorrespondent: In the U.S. what percentage of people support biotech crops? Anddo those who support biotech crops also eat biotech foods? Whatpercentage of food on the market has genetically modifiedingredients?Professor: U.S. consumers have been exposed to a very effective anti-biotechnology propaganda campaign for the last few years, butaccording to polls, over 70% support biotechnology. For example, ina recent referendum in Oregon, voters rejected a proposal to requirespecial labels on all products containing biotech ingredients by anoverwhelming 73% to 27%. That’s probably because c onsumersknow that we have an effective administrative system. Many mayalso know that 70-80% of the processed food products onsupermarket shelves contain one or more ingredients from biotechcrops. All Americans eat biotech foods unless they deliberately seekout products that are labeled otherwise. Evidence suggests that thisis less than 5% of consumers.Correspondent: Chinese scientists have used biotechnology to create a new type of tomato, which contains the vaccine against hepatitis B. What’s yourtake on this?Professor: It’s a great example of how this technology can be used to save lives, ease pain and suffering and improve the human condition. How cananyone be opposed to that? My only hope is that the clinical trials ofthis new tomato go well, and that it is quickly delivered tohealth-care providers who will use it to vaccinate people againsthepatitis. By the way, please note that I do think that such newpharmaceutical foods need to be handled as medicines byprofessionals and not as conventional foods. You will never seethese tomatoes in the supermarket. In a sense, the tomato plant isjust being used to manufacture a vaccine in a very safe andeconomical manner.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Confident enough to control your fate?ScriptSome people are born with the belief that they are masters of their own lives. Others feel they are at the mercy of fate. New research shows that part of those feelings are in the genes.Psychologists have long known that people confident in their ability to control their fates are more likely to adjust well to growing old than those who feel they drift on the currents of fate.Two researchers who questioned hundreds of Swedish twins report that such confidence, or lack of it, is partly genetic and partly drawn from experience.They also found that the belief in blind luck—a conviction that chance plays a big role in life—is something learned in life and has nothing to do with heredity.The research was conducted by Nancy Pedersen, a professor of psychology at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. The results were recently published in the United States in the Journal of Gerontology.People who are confident of their ability to control their lives have an “internal locus of contro l”, and have a better chance of being well adjusted in their old age, said Pedersen. An “external locus of control”,believing that outside for ces determine the course of life, has been linked to depression in latter years, she said.“We are trying to unde rstand what makes people different. What makes some people age slowly and others have a more difficult time?” she said.The study showed that while people have an inborn tendency toward independence and self-confidence, about 70 percent of this personality trait is affected by a person’s environment and lifetime experiences.Pedersen’s studies, with various collaborators, investigate the aging pr ocess by comparing sets of twins, most of whom were separated at an early age.The subjects were drawn from a list first compiled about 30 years ago, registering all twins born in Sweden since 1886. The complete list, which was extended in 1971, has 95,000 sets of twins.1.Which of the following is concerned with blind luck?2.Which of the following is related to an external locus of control?3.According to the passage, what is true of one’s inborn tendency towardsself-confidence?4.What subjects were mostly use d in Pedersen’s studies?5.What is the main idea of the passage?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.DTask 2: Is it moral to clone humans?ScriptLaura: Did you hear about that peculiar cult that claimed to have created the world’s first human clone?Ian: Yeah, I did! They also said that it was aliens that created life on earth over 25,000 years ago. What are they on?Laura: I know! It was so obviously just part of an elaborate hoax to bring publicity to their crazy movement. But I don’t think the truth can be fa r off. Scientists have been working on it for years.Ian: Sure, but most scientists are working on cloning human cells or body parts that can be used to repair or replace damaged organs. Not complete human beings! That’s just science fiction!Laura: Well, the science may seem to be very advanced, but the idea is not a new one.In A Journey to the West, Sun Wu-kung, the Monkey King, can clone himself from the hairs on his head. He just plucks a few hairs, chews them a bit, and when he spits them out, they change into replicas of him!Ian: Really? Now that would be cool! You could send your clone to school while you went to the cinema, and then it could do your homework! Wow! Now thatI think of it, it would be kind of fun to have a clone!Laura: You would say that! Don’t you think it’s slightly immoral? I mean, it’s just like having a slave. Doesn’t the clone deserv e a life of his own?Ian: Sure, but human beings must learn to strike a balance between the welfare ofa patient and of a clone.Keys: 1.T 2.T 3.F 4.F 5.TTask3: A Drunkard’s ArgumentScriptHere’s drunkard’s argument in favor of heavy drinking.We would learn more about human bihavior if we paid closer attention to the laws at work in the animal kingdom.“Only the fittest survive” is a law that is apparent everywhere in the natural world. Human beings could certainly benefit from a close study of how this law operates among, for example, the wild buffalo.A herd of buffalo moves only as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest animals at the back that are killed first. This is naturalselection, and it is good for the herd. The general speed and health of the group keeps improving with regular killing of the weaker memebers.The same process of survival of the fittest is to be observed by looking closely at the human brain, which can operate only as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive consumption of alcohol, as we all know, kills brain cells. Just like the less vigorous buffalo at the back of the herd, the weakest and slowest brain cells are destroyed first. In this way the principles of natural selection become evident. Regular consumption of large amounts of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. It is therefore not suprising that one also feels smarter after drinking several glasses of beer.News ReportBioinformaticsScriptIt’s a complex name for a complex subject. Bioinformatics is the key to figuring out the wealth of information in the human genome project.Researchers have nearly mapped out all of the 30,000 genes that make up human DNA, but making sense of useful data is not easy.The company Double Twist is a pioneer in the business of bioinformatics. [SOUND BITE]Double Twist works mainly with information that is also available to thepublic,sifting through data to find what may help link a biological problem like cancer, to its possible cure.[SOUND BITE]The company then sells software and data to pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, and academic institutions, which use them in their work. This provides a solution to help people better understand data from the human genome project. [SOUND BITE]Bioinformatics speeds up drug development and provides more accurate research.[SOUND BITE]Human Genome Sciences takes the process one step further. It uses bioinformatics to develop drugs using its own genomic information.[SOUND BITE]Right now, Human Genome Sciences has four new drugs being tested that are the results of genomic research. Bioinformatics systems developed within the company played an important role in discovering these drugs.[SOUND BITE]Bioinformatics can also bring much quicker returns for investors.[SOUND BITE]Even though its role is crucial, bioinformatics if only a small part of the overall $305 billion biotech sector, accounting for only about $2.23 billion. But some investors believe that bioinformatics has great potential. ［SOUND BITE］ So unless drug companies start developing their own bioinformatics systems or partner with companies that can provide them, they may get left behind in the race to discover new drugs.。

This (S1) owner of the establishment is giving his new hire some instructions on (S2) running the place. He tells the timid man, “If you ever hear that Big John is coming to town, (S3) dr op everything and run for the hills! He’s the biggest, nastiest (S4) outlaw who’s ever lived!”A few weeks pass (S5) uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand comes running through town (S6) yelling, “Big John is coming! Run for your (S7) lives!”When the bartender leaves the bar to start running, he is knocked to the ground by several townspeople rushing out of town. (S8) As he’s picking himself up, he sees a large man, almost seven feet tall. He’s muscular, and is growing as he approaches the bar.He steps up to the door, orders the poor barkeep inside, and demands, “I want a beer NOW!”He strikes his heavy fist on the bar, splitting it in half. (S9) The bartender nervously hands the big man a beer, hands shaking. He takes the beer, bites the top of the bottle off, and downs the beer in one gulp.As the terrified bartender hides behind the bar, the big man gets up to leave, “Do you want another beer?” the bartender asks in a trembling voice.“Dang it, I don’t have time!” the big man yells, (S10) “I got to get out of town! Don’t you hear Big John is coming?”Task3: A View of HappinessScriptDr. Smith has proposed a reasonable, if perhaps somewhat oversimplifies, view of happiness. According to his theory, happiness might be described as a state if balance. And when humanor certain animals achieve that balance, they rend to remain in that condition in order to repeat the happy feeling.To illustrate this, we may study two magnets. When their positive and negative poles meet, they are comfortably joined, and they remain there. In other words, they have attained a balance or state of happiness. If on the other hand, one of the poles is reversed, and positive pole is presses against positive pole, there is resistance, instability, imbalance a state of unhappiness.Animals with some degree of intelligence seem to find happiness in reinforcement. Once they have gained one or more of their goals such as food, and water, they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfaction of those goals. This repetition or reinforcement produces a state of balance or sense of happiness.According to this theory, only animals with a significant capacity to learn should be able to experience happiness. But in truth learning can take place through surprisingly simple short-term action such as scratching an itch, followed by pleasure, followed by more scratching, and so on. Thus learning can occur with almost no conscious thought.For human beings, blessed with the ability to reason, goals are not limited to the short-term satisfaction of needs. Indeed, there is a strong link between happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals. Even if human strive for goals that are more complex and longer-term than the animals’ goals, once those goals are gained, happiness is reinforce d.1. Why does the speaker mention “magnets”?2.

If they talk to the shop, maybe they will give you a refund.B: Sounds too good to be true.V. Let’s TalkScriptHello, everyone. Today I invite you to join me in an exploration off the causes of depression. There ate many factors involved, but I believe some deserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role. .The tendency to develop depression may be inherited; there is evidence that this disorder may run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression. There may be changes or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain called neurotransmitters. Many modern antidepressant drugs attempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication. While the causal relationship is unclear; it is known that antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors. They include the complex development of one’s personality and how one has learned to cope with external environmental factors, such as stress. It is freeqently observed that low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected with depression. While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect, it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to their thinking patterns can show improved mood and self-esteem.Another factor causing depression is one’s early experiences. Events such as the death of a parent, the divorce of the parents, neglect, chronic illness, and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression. Job loss, financial difficulties, long periods of unemployment, the loss of a spouse or other family member, or other painful events may trigger depression. Long-term stress at home, work, or school can also be involved.It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering from \depression experience increased anxiety which adds to the possibility of their also becoming depressed.Depression-causing Factors Problem Description SolutionHeredity It is inherited and run in families.Physiology changes or imbalances in chemicals called neurotransmitters, which transmit information in the brain A ntidepressant drugs relieve certain symptoms of depression.

Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Reason and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase such as” appeal to emotions rather than reason” and “don’t let your emotions take over”. Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason.However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold”, and others involving the extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreeme nt, which is called “the heat of passion”. The relation logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure” decision or thought; that is, no thought is based “purely”” on intellectual logic or “purely” on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both.1. What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?2. What is the popular belief about reason and emotion?3. What does the speaker mean by “cold “?4. According to the passage, what should people do in religious matters?5. What is the speaker’s conclusion?Keys: 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.C 5.DTask 2: DepressionScriptPat: Yo u look depressed. Are you feeling blue? I’ve come to cheer you up.Ted: But there’s nothing that can cheer me up. I’m down in the dumps. Life’s miserablePat: You have to try to get your mind off things.Ted: But I can’t. I just feel there’s too much press ure on me sometimes!Pat: You can’t let things get you down. Learn to relax and stop worrying all the time. What’s your problem?Ted: I failed my last exam, and another exam is coming, I get bored.Pat: If I were you, I’d start working hard. If you work hard for a long time, you’re bound to get better grades. You see, “no pain, no gain”.Ted: It’s easier said than done! If I read for fifteen minutes, I get bored.Pat: You have to learn some self-discipline.But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Ted: Worse than that! If I read for half an hour, I get a headache. Then I start to worry about passing the next exam.Pat: It’s all in your mind. If you stay cheerful like me, everything will soon be OK.Ted: But how can I stay cheerful all the time?Pat: Try to look on the bright side of things.Ted: But what if there isn’t a bright side?Pat: You know the saying: Every cloud has a silver lining. It means there’re always tow sides to everything—both the dark and the bright sides. So, try to identify your strengths and bring then into full play.Ted: Oh, no! Your corny old sayings are making me even more depressed.Keys: TFFTFTask3: AngerScriptAnger is an emotion that can be hard to control. Despite this, we should learn how to manage anger in a constructive manner. In the most intense moments of anger, we usually have two choices: to fight or to run. Some choose the option of violence, which is a negative reaction to anger; and others choose to run. Some may think running means you are a coward. But the option of walking away and claiming down is the more productive method of handling anger. It is difficult to walk away, especially when your heart is racing, and your anger is boiling over.There are constructive ways of handling anger in any situation. First, you have to stop for a brief moment and think before you act. Take that moment and calm down id you feel yourself being pushed.At that moment you should admit you are angry. If you refuse to admit you’re angry or hurt, or if you make it appear that everything is peaches and cream, you are not managing angry in a productive way. You should first admit you are angry and let your feelings out before you blow up. Foe example, you can stay in a quiet place by yourself and shout; or you can talk to a close friend to vent your rage. If you do not acknowledge your anger, it only builds up inside you and will eventually explode like a volcanoThen, in order to manage your angry, you can ask yourself an important question that we all must ask ourselves, “What made me angry?” When you get the answer, and then ask yourself, “Why did that made me angry?” Through such logical reasoning, one tends to calm down and move toward a sensible solution.News ReportU.S. Roller CoasterScriptThe world’s first 4D roller coaster, “X”, took on its first passengers last week at the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just outside Los Angeles.After climbing on board and properly securing their safety harnesses, “X” riders are first to a height of over 66meters. At the top, the passenger train is released and builds up enough speed to race and plummet around the track at speeds of over 130km an hour.The rider takes the daring passengers down an incredible 66m dive and over the top of a 62m loop, in cars that spin independently of the roller coaster train. This unique design allows riders to spin360degree, both forwards and backwards, through the entire ride.Passengers hurtle through this ride often moving in many different directions at the same time ad the cars somersault back and forth and the roller coaster twists, loops, and dives.The complicated series of maneuvers includes two raven turn, one front flip, one twisting front flip, and two back flips.Since passengers aren’t always facing the right direction to see what’s coming up next, the element of surprise is high. For “X” riders, this adds to the thrill of the ride.The track of this newest roller coaster runs a total length of a little over1, 100meters. The passenger trains measure 6meters wide and 21meters long, large enough to carry 28 passengers at a time. At full capacity, the trains can take 1,600passengers for the ride of their lives each hour.The entire ride lasts for only a total about 2minutes, but you can tell from the exhilarated faces of passengers returning to the boarding dock that they were two of the most thrilling minutes of heir lives.Uint2II.

Listening InTask 1: A Friendly StylistStylist: Morning, sir. This chair, please. What can I do for you?Nick: A simple haircut: short on the back and sides.Stylist: Very good. I can, of course, do something fashionable for only $60.Nick: 60 dollars! That’s highway robbery—twice what I ordinarily pay.Stylist: Perhaps, sir. But your haircuts haven’t been in harmony with your character. Your hair is at war with your soul.Nick: I’ve never heard of such a thing.Stylist: If I may say, I’m an expert at matching hairstyle to personalities. Believe me; you’re suffering a “disjunction”.Nick: A disjunction? What the devil is a disjunction?Stylist: Your hair does not match you.Nick: This is utter nonsense. However, I’d like to hear how you’d solve this so-called problem. Stylist: Your character is artistic, imaginative. But your hair is dull. I can correct that imbalance in seconds.Nick: Okay, let me see what can you do about t he…uh…disjunction, as you call it.Stylist: We’re going to use scissors to create peaks, which we’ll keep in place with a liberalhelping of gel….This tuft in the back we’ll braid into a pigtail. Now, it’s the new you!Nick: I love it. It’s just like me: imaginative and artistic. Now what are you doing? What’s wrong? Don’t you see harmony in my new hairstyle?Stylist: Something’s preventing your hairstyle from being a true fashionable statement.Nick: For heaven’s sake, tell me what’s missing.Stylist: Streaks. By putting in a few yellow streaks in your hair, it will become a work of art. Streaking will cost you more, but…Nick: Do it. Forget the cost. But, by the way, what is the total getting to be? How much am I paying to avoid disjunction?Stylist: That’s…$135. Sir? Sir, are you all right? Oh, he fainted.6. When the stylist mentions $60, what does the customer say?7.

Oh, he fainted.Task 2: The Voice LiftScriptAfter the face-lift, the forehead tightened, and the (S1) nose job, something still might be revealing your age: your (S2) voice.For patients who think their trembly, hoarse words don’t (S3) match their newly face and figure, there’s a proc edure that claims to make them (S4) sound younger too: the voice lift.There are two general kinds of voice lifts. In some cases, implants (S5) inserted through an incision in the (S6) neck bring the vocal cords closer together. Doctors also use injections of (S7) fat or other substances to plump up the cords, so that the voice sounds younger.(S8) The voice lift is becoming more widely known among an aging population, who try to make themselves sound younger.“I speak in a great deal, or I was shouting, on a particular day, at the end of the day, I would feel exhausted,” said Robert Brown, 75, (S9) a retired construction engineer who underwent the voice lift several years ago, “I don’t know if I sound younger, but the hoarseness is gone, which is such a gre at improvement.”(S10) Voice lift can also benefit people like performers, lawyers, teachers, and telephone operators who need to have a strong voice and hope to shave years off the sound of their voice.Task3: A View of HappinessScriptMen are turning to plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures to brighten up their appearances at a faster rate than women, according to a survey released on Wednesday.Men’s use of fat injections to soften deep wrinkles leaped 47 percent last year from theprevious year. Wo men’s use of the injections fell 36 percent, according to a survey by the American Academy of Facial and Plastic Reconstructive Surgeons.Men’s use of botox injections to eliminate frown lines rose 88 percent, while women’s botox use fell 8 percent.And for smoothing skin, the use of laser resurfacing among men rose 13percent, the survey showed. Meanwhile, women’s use of laser resurfacing dropped 38 percent during the same time period.The number of men getting nose jobs rose 47 percent, while the number of women doing so rose 5 percent.Typically, men and women visiting plastic surgeons for cosmetic reasons were age 40 to 59. The study said 44 percent of men and 57 percent of women tell their doctor that looking younger is the reason they are choosing cosmetic surgery.By about 18 percent, men are more likely than women to say they want facial cosmetic surgery for work-related reasons.The study was conducted by written questionnaires from January 20 to March 3 among more than 2,600 members of the association, who focus on treatment of the face, head, and neck. By comparison, in the previous year, women’s use of botox rose 60 percent while men’s fell 14 percent; women’s use of laser resurfacing rose 13 percent while men’s fell 19 percent; women’s us e of fat injections fell17 percent and men’s fell 54 percent.6.

She wants to have a perfect smile.Bill: What for?Amy: She believes a better physical appearance will improve her chance of getting a good job.。

Morg an Bailey, 11, is happy to be alive.Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive in the gymnasium for her physical education class.Suddenly, there was a loud noise.“There w as a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After that, I don’t remember anything.” said Morgan.The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath, she couldn’t escape.“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg, I couldn’t move it. I was starting to get cold.”Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program using “rescue robot” was tried for the first time.“We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed the man in charge of the program，“but in the end ,the robot gave us reliable information. It was extremely well.”The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Morgan’s exact position.“We send in robot first because it may not be safe for humans,” said Mr. Sneed. “Human being s are not as useful as robots in some situations.A gas leak, for example, could kill you or me, but wouldn’t hurt a robot.”Although it didn’t happen in Morgan’s case, some rescue robots can bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped.Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life or death situations. They have to be durable.Doctor says that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home in two or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she gets out of the hospital?“I want to meet my hero,” laughs Morgan, “that little robot that saved my life！”Ad or no adIs advertising really necessary? Billions of dollars are spent on it every year, so it must be important. After all, it’s a busy world. You haveto advertise, sell products and make money.！Not every company thinks that way. The No-Ad company (“no-ad”stands for “not advertised”) avoids big advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960, and is successful today. Their products are still affordable because the company saves the money on advertising. They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.No-Ad sells by word of mouth. “Word of mouth advertising” happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member or colleague. And so a chain of information is created.Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Studies show that our product is the best”or “Everyone loves this product”, it can sound insincere or unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from someone who did not make it. Our friends’ opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages too, it’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free). And a company doesn’t have to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word- of-mouth advertising:Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know学海无涯who you will meet. Always carry business cards.• Only say positive things about your company. Don’t say negative things about your company.• Help other companies by referring people to them. The more you help others, the more good fortune will come back to you.。

No wonder it is said that honesty is more precious than gold. It is a tie for people to maintain relationships of mutual trust, the cornerstone for the development and progress of human society.Honesty is the exterior expression of a citizen’s moral character, the crystallization of a variety of spiritual elements such as ethics, morality, ideology, culture, etc. To be honest and to keep one’s word, one must have a noble moral character. To perfect one’s morality and behavior, one must be honest and dependable, and always keep one’s promise. Only when honesty is cherished as every citizen’s basic moral principle can the harmony of families and the prosperity of the country be guaranteed.Sample EssayMy Understanding of Honesty and SuccessDifferent people have different opinions about the relationship between honesty and success. Some people believe that honesty ad success are mutually exclusive. They regard honesty as a wasteful and costly investment that will only hinder success and prevent people from quick wins. Money-making tricks such as low-quality and fake products, or practices like plagiarism and bribery are seen as short-cuts to immediate success.However, many people hold that honesty and success are mutually supportive. They believe that honesty is the only means to an end. Being honest will definitely earn a person not only a good reputation but also more opportunities to develop his or her career and ability. Honesty also helps cultivate an upright and healthy personality and brings people true pride and deep joy.I agree with the latter viewpoint. Honesty is a virtue that every one of us should value. It can bring out the best in a person and will give him or her the best reward in return. Those who are honest may suffer temporary losses sometimes, but they willbenefit in the long run. In short, only by being honest consistently and persistently can we gain true and lasting happiness. (193 words)。

新世纪大学英语(第二版)综合教程第4册Unit8

Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook FourUnit Eight: GlobalizationPart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇Work in pairs or groups and discuss the following questions.1. What do you know about globalization?2. What has globalization contributed to the world economy?3. What negative effects has globalization brought about?▇ Answers for reference:1. Globalization has been a commonly used term since the late twentieth century. It simply means that the world has become integrated economically, socially, politically and culturally through the advances in technology, transportation and communication. It is the collaboration of countries to boost trade, and to reduce cultural differences.2. Globalization has contributed to the world’s economy in many beneficial ways.First, the advances in science and technology have allowed businesses to cross over frontiers easily. Consequently, companies tend to become more productive and competitive, thus raising the quality of goods, services and living standards. Second, globalization provides companies with more and larger markets. They can sell more goods and make more money. Meanwhile, they can create more jobs. Last but not least, consumers can also benefit from globalization. As products become cheaper, they can get new goods more quickly and easily.3. Though globalization has a lot of advantages, it also produces some negative effects. First, globalization results in more unemployment in industrialized countries because many factories have moved to developing countries where they can get cheap labour. Second, it causes some environmental problems. As companies in the developed countries open their factories in developing countries, serious environmental problems have occurred in some developing countries. Last, the natural resources of some of the developing countries are being robbed of by some developed countries in the process of globalization.Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about globalization and discuss in pairs what you can learn from them.Jeffrey Sachs⊙Globalization was a deep trend pushed by technology and right ideas, as much as anything else.—Jeffrey SachsInterpretation:Everything has its law of development. The same is true of globalization. Driven by technology and right ideas, it has progressed rapidly and will develop in depth.About Jeffrey David Sachs (1954- ): an American economist and Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University. He is one of the youngest economics professors in the history of Harvard University. He is known for his work on the challenges of economic development, environmental sustainability, poverty alleviation, debt cancellation, and globalization.Robert Reich⊙Globalization and free trade do spur economic growth, and they lead to lower prices on many goods.—Robert ReichInterpretation:Stimulated by globalization and free trade, the world economy grows rapidly. At the same time, globalization and free trade have brought in fierce competition, and affordable prices have benefited consumers in a great way.About Robert Bernard Reich (1946- ): an American political economist, professor, author, and political commentator. He served in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter and was Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997.Jimmy Carter⊙If you are totally illiterate and living on $1 a day, the benefits of globalization never come to you.—Jimmy CarterInterpretation:Though globalization brings advantages to the world, it also brings about a great gap between the rich and the poor. There are still many people living below the poverty line, who cannot enjoy the fruits of globalization.About Jimmy Carter (1924- ): an American politician who served as the 39th President of the United States (1977–1981). He was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize.Larry Summers⊙In the developing world, far more people are poor because of too little globalization rather than too much.—Larry Summers Interpretation:People in many developing countries are still poor because they have not benefited from globalization. Globalization decreases poverty in developing countries.About Larry Summers (1954- ): an American economist. He served as the 71st United States Secretary of the Treasury from 1999 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton. He was Director of the White House United States National Economic Council for President Barack Obama until November 2010.Section C Watching and Discussion▇ Watch the following video clip “What Is Globalization” and do the tasks that follow:1.Please decide whether each of the following statements is true (T) or false (F) based on theinformation in the video clip.( F ) Globalization is a process through which the financial markets, societies and cultures have become independent and tend to demerge.( T ) Globalization can also be viewed as the freedom of movement for goods, services, and people across borders.( F ) There seems to be an agreement on that economic globalization is an irreversible current.( F ) Global competition keeps prices low so inflation has no chance to occur.( F ) In a globalized world, when having a economy crush, a country can ask for help from other countries.( T ) Our economy is increasingly global as a result of mass communication and mass transportation.2.Do you think that globalization is an irreversible current? Why or why not? Is there anychance for small businesses to survive? How?Answers for reference:Open.Script：What Is GlobalizationHello, I’m Milo from , and here we’ll talk about globalization.Globalization is a word that we hear constantly nowadays. It can be defined as the trend in the financial markets and businesses to expand beyond national and territorial borders and boundaries. It is a process through which the financial markets, societies and cultures have become interdependent and tend to merge, blurring the boundaries between the local, national,and international.It is a dynamic process primarily led by multi-national businesses and organizations. It can also be viewed as the freedom of movement for goods, services, and people across borders. It is a phenomenon caused by the latest developments in mass communication and the technologies that have been developed and continue to be developed to support this new and instant way of communicating between people and organizations.The increased ease of mobility has also greatly contributed to this unstoppable trend. There seems to be a disagreement on whether economic globalization is or not an irreversible current. What is certain is that this trend has substantial effects on the world’s economies.The Pros of globalization include:∙Global competition keeps prices low so inflation is less likely to occur.∙An open economy can encourage innovation as people can exchange ideas freely and instantaneously.∙There are more varied and international goods available for consumption everywhere.On the negative side:∙Small businesses have difficulty surviving in an unregulated market and usually get eaten up by larger competitors.∙As economies become interdependent, a crush in a country’s economy will affect other countries in a negative way.To sum up we must understand that there are some basic aspects to globalization:∙Internet allows us to be global in the way we exchange information.∙We are more mobile than ever, travel has become less expensive and people move all over the place and get to see and experience different cultures.∙Environmental problems affect us all, issues such as air pollution, acid rain, and climate go beyond national borders.∙Our economy is increasingly global as a result of mass communication and mass transportation.Part II Listen and RespondSection B Task One: Focusing on the Main Ideas▇Choose the best answer to each of the following questions according to the information contained in the listening passage.1) What does globalization mean according to the speaker?A) It means that the world is becoming more and more integrated.B) It means that the world’s living standards are greatly improved.C) It means that more opportunities are given to the developing countries.D) It means that the world is developing more and more rapidly.2) What benefits do companies get from globalization according to the speaker?A) They are allowed to do business in the developing countries.B) They become more productive and competitive by doing business overseas.C) Their products can reach any place they want through modern means of transportation.D) They can communicate with other companies more easily.3) How do people in developing countries benefit most from globalization?A) They can meet various people online.B) They can get better education by studying overseas.C) They can learn from people from other countries.D) They can study in their home universities.4) What new threats does globalization bring?A) The quick spread of perishable items.B) The quick spread of wildfire.C) The quick spread of disease.D) The quick spread of the labor-force.5) What is the speaker’s attitude towards globalization?A) Prejudiced.B) Negative.C) Subjective.D) Objective.▇ Key:1) A 2) B 3) B 4) C 5) DSection C Task Two: Zooming In on the Details▇Listen to the recording again and fill in each of the blanks according to what you have heard.Globalization has been a commonly used term since the late twentieth century. It simply means that the world has become integrated economically, socially, politically and culturally through the advances in technology, transportation and communication. It is undeniable that globalization has resulted in both positive and negative effects which must be addressed accordingly.To begin with, globalization has contributed to the world’s economies in many beneficial ways. Advances in science and technology have allowed businesses to easily cross over frontiers. Consequently, companies tend to become more productive and competitive thereby raising the quality of goods, services and the world’s living standard.Secondly, a very critical advantage is the spread of education. With numerous educational institutions around the globe, one can move out from the home country for better opportunities elsewhere. Thus, integrating with different cultures, meeting and learning from various people through the medium of education is all due to globalization. Developing countries or labour-intensive countries have benefited the most.Script:The Advantages and Disadvantages of GlobalizationGlobalization has been a commonly used term since the late twentieth century.

Thus, integrating with different cultures, meeting and learning from various people through the medium of education is all due to globalization. Developing countries or labour-intensive countries have benefited the most.However, one cannot deny the negative effects resulting from globalization. Globalization has given rise to more health risks and threats of epidemics. A customary example is the dawn of HIV/AIDS. Having its origin in remote regions of Africa, the virus has spread like wildfire throughout the globe. Furthermore, food items are also transported to various countries, and this is a matter of concern, especially in the case of perishable items. The safety regulations and the standards of food preparation are different in different countries, which may pose a risk of potential health hazards.In conclusion, while globalization is inevitable, we must nevertheless urge individuals, companies and governments to use a more balanced approach by taking appropriate steps to deal with matters relating to the financial or economic gains versus the social, political and ecological concerns of the world.Part III Read and ExploreText ASection A Discovering the Main IdeasExercise 1: Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1. What is the speaker’s definition of an inclusive globalization?2. What does an inclusive globalization demand of us?3. In what ways can an inclusive globalization be promoted?4. What is the impact of the 11 September attacks on the process of globalization?5. What message does the speaker mean to convey?▇Answers for reference:1. According to the speaker, an inclusive globalization recognizes and exploits the potential of globalization as a truly integrating and inclusive force. Its purpose lies not only in opening markets but also in expanding opportunity and promoting cooperation. Its ultimate goal is to ensure that globalization benefits the whole of humanity economically, politically and socially.2. An inclusive globalization demands that we tear down the walls in our minds so as to treat each other equally and to recognize the interdependence between nations and peoples. It alsodemands that we open our minds to a new, more integrated idea of community.3. There are many different ways to promote an inclusive globalization: opening markets for the products of developing countries; increasing development assistance; promoting good and transparent governance; addressing diseases and environmental problems that have not reached our shores; recognizing obligations to provide asylum; fostering a more orderly process of integrating migrants; and valuing pluralism as a top priority for every state.4. The 11 September attacks make it very clear that humanity is indivisible and terrorism is a threat to everyone, and that the fight against terrorism can be successful only if people of different races, nations or regions get united as one. For this purpose, globalization must be made to benefit all — those at the margins and those at the centre, the poor and the privileged, the shackled and the free.5. The speaker urges us to deal with the negative, unattended social and political consequences of globalization, and the solution lies in promoting an inclusive globalization to ensure that globalization benefits the whole of humanity.Exercise 2: Text A can be divided into five parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Section B In-depth StudySome people benefit from globalization, while others simply see it as one more manifestation of the inequity of the world. Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, suggests that one way to address this issue is the pursuit of an inclusive globalization.A Plea for an “Inclusive” GlobalizationKofi Annan1 It has often been said that globalization is what distinguishes our era from all its predecessors. Globalization, we are told, is redefining not only the way we engage the world, but how we communicate with each other. Globalization is commonly understood to describe the increasing flow of goods, service, capital, technology, information, ideas and labour at the global level, driven by liberalization policies and technological changes. For a time, this logic was borne outby reality. Indeed, it worked so well that in many cases underlying schisms were ignored in the belief that the rising tide of material growth would eliminate the importance of political differences and social grievances.However, over the past few years, I and others have urged greater consideration for the potential political backlash if the social—as well as the economic—consequences of globalization are left unattended.2 Today, I would like to share some thoughts on an equally important aspect of globalization—namely its potential to be a truly integrating and inclusive force and the very real dangers if it fails to live up to that potential. In other words, just as we worry about the gap between haves and have-nots, we need to be equally concerned about the gulf between insiders and outsiders in a globalized world where no border is impermeable, and where the privileges—economic as well as political and social—of the few are painfully apparent to those multitudes who still yearn for liberty and opportunity. We need, in short, to direct our energies towards realizing the aspiration inherent in the awkward, but revealing Arabic translation of the word “globalization” —which means literally“world inclusivity”.3 Today, I wish to suggest that one way to address this new division—between those who benefit from globalization, and those who simply see it as one more manifestation of the inequity of the world—is to pursue an inclusive globalization whose purpose lies not only in opening markets but in expanding opportunity and promoting cooperation. By this I mean the need to ensure that the globalization of economies and societies is supported and sustained by a “globalization of community”—to create a wider, more expansive definition of our duties to our fellow men and women in the global village, and to ensure that globalization benefits them all—economically, politically and socially.4 Such a world demands that we tear down the walls in our own minds as well—those separating us from them, rich from poor, white from black, Christian from Muslim—so that we are able to recognize the untold ways in which we can all benefit from cooperation and solidarity across lines of nationality, race or economic development. Whether it is the area of crime, health, the environment, or the fight against terrorism, interdependence has ceased to be an abstract concept, and become a reality in our own lives. This poses a real challenge not only to political leaders, but to civil society, NGOs, business, labour unions, thinkers, and citizens of every nation. We need to rethink what belonging means, and what community means, in order to be able to embrace the fate of distant people and realize that globalization’s glass house must be open to all if it is to remain secure. This will require leaders in every sector to present the choices facing the public in a different light. They need to make the difficult but necessary case that we cannot continue to exclude the poor, the disenfranchised or those who are denied the basic right to liberty and self-determination. Or that if we do, we cannot at the same time hope to secure lasting peace and prosperity.5 There are myriad ways in which nations can act on this imperative—by opening markets for the products of developing countries; by increased development assistance; by promoting good and transparent governance; by addressing diseases and environmental problems that have not reached our shores, or at least not yet; by recognizing obligations to provide asylum; by fostering a more orderly process of integrating migrants; and by valuing pluralism as a top priority for every state.6 The United Nations itself was created in the belief that dialogue can triumph over discord, that diversity is a universal virtue, and that the peoples of the world are far more united by their common fate than they are divided by their separate identities. This dialogue must take place every day among all nations—within and between civilizations, cultures and groups. But it mustbe based on genuinely shared values. Without these values—values rooted in the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—no peace can be lasting and no prosperity secure. That is the lesson of the United Nations’ first half-century. It is a lesson that we ignored at our peril. While it may seem somewhat vague to speak of globalization based on shared values, the vision of the world it seeks to create is quite clear and quite specific.7 This vision is based on an understanding that we are the products of many cultures, that our strengths lie in combining the familiar with the foreign. This is not to say that we cannot rightly take pride in our particular faith or heritage. We can and we should. But the notion that what is ours is necessarily in conflict with what is theirs is both false and dangerous. It has resulted in endless hostilities and conflicts, leading men and women to commit the greatest of crimes in the name of a higher power.8 Friends, if today, after the horror of 11 September, we see better, and we see further—we will realize that humanity is indivisible. New threats make no distinction between races, nations or regions. A new insecurity has entered every mind, regardless of wealth or status. A deeper awareness of the bonds that bind us all—in pain as in prosperity—has gripped young and old. The process of globalization cannot remain unchanged in the face of this recognition. It must be made to benefit those at the margins as well as those at the center, the poor as well as the privileged, the shackled as well as the free.9 The global reaction to the 11 September attacks should give us courage and hope that we can succeed in this fight. The sight of people gathering in cities in every part of the world from every religion to mourn—and to express solidarity with the people of the United States—proved more eloquently than any words that terrorism is not an issue that divides humanity, but one that unites it.10 The victims of the attacks on 11 September were, first and foremost, the innocent civilians who lost their lives, and families who now grieve for them. But peace, tolerance, mutual respect, human rights, the role of law and the global economy are all among the casualties of the terrorists’acts. Repairing the damage done to the fabric of the international community—restoring trust among peoples and cultures—will not be easy. But just as a concerted international response can make the work of terrorists much harder to accomplish, so should the unity born of this tragedy bring all nations together in defense of the most basic right—the right of all peoples to live in peace and security.11 An inclusive globalization will be central to achieving this fundamental goal.▇课文参考译文呼吁推行“包容性”全球化科菲·安南1 人们常说，全球化是一个不同于以往任何时代的全新时代。

Unit 8 The Evolution of CivilizationUnit NavigationThe evolution of civilization is an abstract topic to most college students. However, it is also a topic that every well-educated person needs to think about. What factors have contributed to the emergence and development of human civilization? What role does farming play in human history? What milestone events in the process of human civilization can you identify? Why do civilizations decline or collapse? And what lessons can we learn from the collapses of other civilizations? In this unit, students will watch video clips that address these questions and have some speaking activities. In addition, students will conduct a research project in which they can put into practice the knowledge, skills and strategies that they have learned in this unit, to have a deeper understanding about the evolution of civilization.About the QuotationWhen several villages are united in a single complete community, large enough to be nearly or quite self-sufficient, the state comes into existence, originating in the bare needs of life, and continuing in existence for the sake of a good life.—Aristotle (384 BC–322 BC)) The quotation explains Aristotle’s theory of the origin of the state (By state Aristotle has in mind the Greek city-state). The original sentence is “When several villages are united in a single complete community, large enough to be nearly or quite self-sufficient, the state comes into existence, originating in the bare needs of life, and continuing in existence for the sake of a good life. And, therefore, if the earlier forms of society are natural, so is the state, for it is the end of them, and the nature of a thing is its end. For what each thing is when fully developed, we call its nature, whether we are speaking of a man, a horse, or a family.” In Aristotle’s theory, the state is a community of some kind. In this saying, he makes it clear that what differentiates the state from other communities is the fact that it is self-sufficient, and that it enables its inhabitants to live the good life, whereas the family by itself, for example, may be barely able to keep its members alive. The state differs from the family and village in kind, and not merely quantitatively.Aristotle (384–322 BC) was a Greek philosopher and scientist. His writings cover many subjects, including physics, biology, zoology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, poetry, theater, music, rhetoric, linguistics, politics and government, and constitute the first comprehensive system of Western philosophy. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, “Aristotle was the first genuine scientist in history ... [and] every scientist is in his debt.”Unit GoalsIn this unit, you will✓pick up useful words and expressions related to the evolution of civilization;✓develop your own thinking about the evolution of civilization;✓learn to use symbols and abbreviations in note-taking;✓learn to keep the discussion on topic during a discussion;✓learn to deliver a presentation effectively.Background Information1. Cradle of CivilizationThe cradle of civilization is a term referring to locations identified as the sites where civilization emerged. In Western European and Middle Eastern cultures, it has frequently been applied to the Ancient Near Eastern Chalcolithic (Ubaid period, Naqada culture), especially in the Fertile Crescent (Mesopotamia and Levant) and Egypt, but also extended to sites in Asia Minor (Anatolia), Armenia and the Iranian Plateau (Elam). Other civilizations arose in Asia, among cultures situated along large river valleys, notably the Indus River in the Indian Subcontinent.2. The 12 Terrifying Ways Researchers Think Human Civilization Is Most Likely to EndThe scientists from the Global Challenges Foundation and the Future of Humanity Institute used their research to draw up a list of the 12 most likely ways human civilization could end on planet earth.“[This research] is about how a better understanding of the magnitude of the challenges can help the world to address the risks it faces, and can help to create a path towards more sustainable development,” the study’s authors said.“It is a scientific assessment about the possibility of oblivion, certainly, but even more it is a call for action based on the assumption that humanity is able to rise to challenges and turn them into opportunities.”Extreme climate changeThe likelihood of global coordination to stop climate change is seen by the study’s authors as the biggest controllable factor in whether the environmental catastrophe can be prevented. They also warn that the impact of climate change could be strongest in the poorest countries and that mass deaths from famines and huge migration trends could cause major global instability. Nuclear warWhile the researchers concede that a nuclear war is less likely than in the previous century, they say that evidence suggests “the potential for deliberate or accidental nuclear conflict has not been removed.” The biggest fact which they say would influence whether one happens would be how relations between future and current nuclear powers develop.Global pandemic“There are grounds for suspecting that such a high impact epidemic is more probable than usually assumed,” the researchers believe. The ability of the world’s medical systems to respondto a pandemic is important in preventing a catastrophe, researchers say — but the biggest threat is simply whether there is an uncontrollable infectious disease out there or not.Major asteroid impactAn asteroid impact larger than 5km in size would destroy an area the size of the Netherlands, the researchers warn. They say these events happen every 20m years. “Should an impact occur the main destruction will not be from the initial impact, but from the clouds of dust projected into the upper atmosphere,” the study warns. “The damage from such an ‘impact winter’ could affect the climate, damage the biosphere, affect food supplies, and create political instability.”Super volcanoLike an asteroid impact, the greatest threat from a super-volcano is a global dust-cloud that would block the sun’s rays and cause a global winter. “The effect of historic eruptions could be best compared with that of a nuclear war,” the researchers said. The ability to stop damage depends on the ability of nations to coordinate and limit damage they cause.Ecological catastropheThe researchers say that humanity either has to conserve the ecosystem, or hope that civilization is not dependent on it. “Species extinction is now far faster than the historic rate,” the study warns. They say humanity must develop sustainable economies in order to survive this one. Global system catastrophe“The world economic and political system is made up of many actors with many objectives and many links between them,” the study warns. “Such intricate, interco nnected systems are subject to unexpected system-wide failures caused by the structure of the network.” Economic collapse could lead to social chaos, civil unrest and a breakdown in law and order.Synthetic biologyThe scientists are worried that someone w ill intentionally build an “engineered pathogen” to wipe out the human race. “Attempts at regulation or self-regulation are currently in their infancy, and may not develop as fast as research does,” they warn.NanotechnologyNanotechnology’s proponents tou t it as a way to solve problems, but the researchers believe it could present serious problems. “Nanotechnology could lead to the easy construction of large arsenals of conventional or more novel weapons made possible by atomically precise manufacturing,” they warn, before adding: “Of particular relevance is whether nanotechnology allows the construction of nuclear bombs.”Artificial intelligenceThe researchers believe that “extreme” artificial intelligence “could not be easily controlled” and would “probably act to boost its own intelligence and acquire maximal resources.” Rather spookily, they say one of the key factors in our survival is whether “there will be a single dominant AI or a plethora of entities.” In a bit of a twist, they concede that a power ful artificial intelligence might make solving all the other risks in the report much easier. All hail our new computer overlords?Future bad global governanceThe message here is that if politicians don’t come up with solutions to the other problems in th e list, they are a risk in and of themselves. “There are two main divisions in governance disasters: failing to solve major solvable problems, and actively causing worse outcomes,” the study explains.Unknown consequencesFinally, the researchers warn of “unknown unknowns” and call for “extensive research” into “unknown risks and their probabilities”. “One resolution to the Fermi paradox —the apparent absence of alien life in the galaxy —is that intelligent life destroys itself before beginning to expand into the galaxy.” It’s all very cheery.Lead-in MaterialI. Purposes1. To stimulate what students already know about ancient and modern civilizations.2. To guide students in discussing the progress of civilization indicated by the differences betweenancient and modern tools and utensils.3. To arouse students’ interest and prepare them for the topic.Task 1Directions: Shown in the following pictures are some utensils used in ancient times. Observe the pictures carefully and figure out what purpose each of them served.1. .............................2. .............................3. .............................4. .............................Key:1. an earthenware stove2. a quill pen3. a wooden wheel with an axle4. a close stoolTask 2Directions: To serve the same purposes, what utensils do we use in modern times? What are the differences between the ancient utensils and those we use today? What kind of progress in civilization do these differences indicate?Key for Reference:Picture 1: Earthenware stove → wood-burning stove, gas stove, microwave oven …Picture 2: Quill pen → ballpoint pen, fountain pen, rollerball pen …Picture 3: Wooden wheel → tirePicture 4: Close stool → flush toilet …As for the second question, the teacher may advise the students to discuss the differences between the ancient and modern utensils in terms of factors such as the materials used, their design, costs, functions, and convenience.As for the third question, answers may vary. Generally speaking, the utensils are becoming more and more user-friendly, which indicates that the advance of civilization enables people to enjoy a better life.II. NotesPicture 1: The earthenware stove was unearthed from the T243 Hemudu Site in 1977 and is now in the possession of Zhejiang Provincial Museum.Picture 2: A quill is a pen made from a flight feather of a large bird, most often a goose. Quills were used as instruments for writing with ink before the metal dip pen, the fountain pen,and eventually the ballpoint pen came into use. Quill pens were used in medieval timesto write on parchment or paper. The quill eventually replaced the reed pen.Picture 3: The photo shows a 5,200-year-old wooden wheel at the City Museum of Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia. The exhibit, with the wheel of 72 centimeters in diameter, 5centimeters in thickness, was discovered in the Ljubljana marshes in the spring of 2002. Picture 4: A close stool, used from at least the sixteenth century until the introduction of indoor plumbing, was an enclosed cabinet or box at sitting height with an opening in the top,which might be disguised by a folding outer lid. The close stool contained a pewter orearthenware chamber pot to receive the user’s excrement when he or she sat on it. Itwas sometimes called a necessary stool or a night stool.ALS-II. Purposes1.
