grown-up responsibilities.InGermany,“Jugendfeier” is a coming-of-age ceremony for 14-year-olds.They go to school to prepare for the occasion,studying lessons with topics like cultural respect and social responsibility,which will help them become worthy citizens.The hope is that the young people taking part in the ceremony will take on these values for themselves.InLatinAmerica,a “quinceanera” is a celebration for girls on their 15th birthday,marking a girl’s entry into womanhood.In the past,a “quinceanera” was intended to ready girls for marriage andthey were taught cooking,sewing and other household skills in preparation.Today,it’s similar to how one’s 18th birthday is considered an important day in other cultures.InIndia,the sacred thread ceremony is performed when a boy is grown-up.He is given three sacred threads representing three promises he makes:to respect knowledge,to respect his parents and to respect society.After the ceremony,theboy,traditionally,leaves his family to live with aguru(teacher).At this point the boy becomes “twice born”—first his physical birth and second his intellectual birth through the teacher’s care.InVanuatu,young boys come of age by jumping off a 98-foot-tall tower with a bungee-like rope tied to their ankles,just barely preventing them from hitting the ground.At the ceremony,the boy’s mother will hold something representing his childhood,and after the jump the item will be thrown away,representing the end of childhood.He is now a man,ready to protect the family.1.What is the shared eing-of-age ceremonies?A.Having respect for knowledge.B.Getting ready to raise a family.C.Acquiring cross-cultural awareness.D.Developing a sense of responsibility.2.Which app might appeal to people entering adulthood in Germany?3.In which place are things with special meanings given to the young attendants?A.Germany.tin America.C.India.D.Vanuatu.B(湖北武汉武昌质量检测)In the 17th century,the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age.During this period,artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance paintingtechniques,contributing to masterpieces like GirlwithaPearlEarring by Johannes Vermeer.Known as the “MonaLisa of the North”,this painting represen ts the best of Dutch art and it has become one of the most beloved paintings in art history.Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft,a city in Holland where the artist was born,lived and died.GirlwithaPearlEarring is Vermeer’s most well-known work of art.However,it did not attain international fame at its time of completion.That came about at the end of the 20th century,when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington,D.C.GirlwithaPearlEarring does not show a specificperson.Instead,it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing who,“like a vision coming from the darkness”,art historian Arthur K.Wheelock eeer catalogue,“belongs to no specific time or place”.Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than lines.This characteristic approach to modeling is particularly evident inGirlwithaPearlEarring.First,he would “invent” or create an initial drawing on the canvas.Then,he made a single colored underpainting.Next,he added color.And,finally,in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright,he would apply a thin layer of the glaze to certain parts of the painting.In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty,the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surro unds it.“When you think about Mona Lisa,she is also looking at us,but she isn’t engaging—she’s sitting back in the painting,self-contained,” Tracy Chevalier,the author of TheNewYorkTimes’ bestselling historical novel,GirlwithaPeariEarring,points out.“While the girl with a pearl earring in the painting is right there,there is nothing between her and us.She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time,and that is what makes her so appealing.”4.What inspired the creation of GirlwithaPearlEarring?A.Previous artists’ skills.B.The appearance of the girl.C.Vermeer’s international fame.D.Encouragement from other artists.5.What do we know about GirlwithaPearlEarring?A.It is set in the artist’s birthplace.B.It makes the artist famous overnight.C.It describes a particular and eatch for MonaLisa.6.What is the purpose of paragraph 4?A.To introduce the subject of the painting.B.To show techniques used in the painting.C.To explain the artistic value of the painting.D.To uncover the mystery behind the painting.7.How does Tracy comment on GirlwithaPearlEarring?A.By citing a theory.B.By giving a definition.C.By offering an eaking a comparison.C(山东济南模拟)If we jump in the air as high as possible,we can stay off the ground for about half a second.Michael Jordan could stay airborne for almost one second while ski jumpers are able to do that for five to seven seconds as they travel about the length of a football field through the air.So how do they do this?Three major concepts from physics are at play in the ski jump:gravity,lift and drag.Gravity pulls any object in flight down toward the ground and there is nothing athletes can do to lessen its effect.But athletes also interact with the air as they move.It is this interaction that can produce lift,an upward force produced by air pushing on an object.If the force produced from lift roughly balances the force of gravity,the object can fly.The same interaction also produces drag.It resists the forward motion of any object and slows it down.In the ski jump,jumpers start high up on a slope and then ski downhill to generate speed.Just before they reach the end of the slope,they jump.Once jumpers are in the air,the fun physics begins.They use careful body positioning to mainimizing drag.To dothis,they adjust their skis and bodies to keep nearly parallel(平行的) to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body.This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle of attack that will also maximize lift.As drag reduces the speed of the jumpers,lift decreases and gravity continues to pull them.They will begin to fall faster and faster until they land.As you tune in to the Olympics and wonder at the physical power of the athletes,take a moment to consider their mastery of the concepts of physics.8.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Staying longer in the air.B.Traveling forward slower.C.Falling down the hill faster.D.Jumping higher than average people.9.How can ski jumpers fly in the air according to paragraph 2?A.They make use of the interaction with air.B.They get more gravity than lift.C.They keep a good balance while skiing.D.They get rid of the effect of gravity.10.What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss about the ski jump?A.Its training equipment.B.Its safety guidelines.C.Its major concepts.D.Its basic routine.11.What may be the best title for the tepers flying in the skyB.Falling or flying is your choiceC.Physics:as difficult as imaginedD.Ski jumps’ booming in the OlympicsD(广西毕业班第一次适应性测试)In a medical first,doctors transplanted(移植) a pig’s heart into a patient to save his life and a Maryland hospital said on Monday that he’s doing well three days after the highly experimental surgery.While it’s too soon to know if the operation will really work,it marks a step in the decades-long effort to one day use animal organs for life-saving transplants.Doctors at the University of Maryland Medical Center say the transplant showed that a heart from a genetically edited animal can function in the human body without immediate rejection.The patient,David Bennett,57,knew there was no guarantee that the experiment would work but he was dying,unsuitable for a human heart transplant and had no other option,his son told The Associated Press.Such transplants,or xenotransplantation,have failed before,largely because patients’ bodies rapidly rejected the animal organ.The difference this time:The Maryland surgeons used a heart from a pig that had undergone gene editing to remove a sugar in its cells that’s responsible for that super-fast organ rejection.“I think you can characterize it as a breakthrough in medical science,” Dr.David Klassen,UNOS’ chief medicalofficer,said.Still,Klassen war ned that it’s only a first tentative(暂定的) step into ee around,ight finally work.“It will be important to share the data gathered from this transplant before opening the option to more patients,” said Karen Maschke,a research scholar at the Hastings Center,who is helping develop policy recommendations for the first clinical trials under financial aid from the National Institutes of Health.“Rushing into animal-to-human transplants without this information would not be advisable,” Maschke said.The surgery took seven hours on Jan.10, at the Baltimore Hospital.“He realizes the importance of what was done,” David Bennett Jr.said of his father.“He could not live,or he could last a day,or he could last a couple of days.I mean,we’re in the unknown at this point.”12.What is the top reason for the animal-to-human transplant on David Bennett?A.He couldn’t afford a human heart.B.His son made the decision for him.C.His life was at great risk.D.The surgery bound to save his life.13.What is the purpose of the gene editing in the case of the transplant in Maryland?A.To avoid immediate rejection.B.To remove cells from the pig’s heart.C.To guarantee functions of the pig’s heart.D.To save time in the transplant.14.What does Dr.David Klassen probably think of the transplant?A.Casual.B.Dangerous.C.Successful.D.Pioneering.15.What message does the author mainly convey in the teals are our best friends.B.Animals may be our life-savers.C.Animals’ organs have helped save many patients.D.The animal-to-human transplant is now advisable to perform. Ⅱ.七选五(湖北十一校第一次联考)The door opens and you are amazed at seeing people jumping and flying around like superheroes.Calm down.You are not in a marvel film,just a trampoline(蹦床) park.In recent years,trampolining has become a new craze among Chinese youths.Short videos are regularly uploaded to social media showing people’s eping back and forth on the colorful trampolines.Most videos feature teenagers. 1 .Ms Shi,a 28-year-old woman from Beijing,goes to trampoline parks almost e very weekend.She said,“When I was a child,I loved bouncing up and down on the trampolines,though they were just small and simple ones.They made me feel free and happy. 2 .”It’s true that today’s trampoline parks are bigger,more professional and more creative. 3 .You can obviously jump,play in the inflatables(充气玩具),or shoot baskets like an NBA superstar.Also,if you’re brave enough,you can learn to walk on the wall.“Trampolining is so much fun.It doesn’t feel like es Shi said.4 .According to Robert Smith,a British sportstherapist,“The trampoline pad is bouncy and absorbs a large amount of the impact of your landing,so your bones and joints are protected and strengthened at the same time.”Unlike playing soccer,basketball,tennis or any other competitive sports,the risk of injury while trampolining is relatively low. 5 .“You must do warm-up exercises before playing.And you can’t lose concentration during the movements,” Peter Cheng,a diehard trampoline fan,who also owns a trampoline park,warned.While outdoor activities are largely up to the weather,the indoor trampoline parks are really good places to go whenever you are seeking a fun cardio workout(有氧运动).A.Nowadays the places are much betterB.It is a fun activity to share with friendsC.There are separate zones for different functionsD.However,preparation and safety always come firstE.Specially designed clothes are needed when you trampolineF.Indeed,a trampoline workout can be beneficial to your healthG.Adults also have jumped on the trend,hoping to relive their childhood必修5 Unit5 阅读理解题组——练速度Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

Unit FiveSection A 优雅的双手我从未见过克拉克夫人，但看过她的医疗记录和上一位值班医生交给我的报告后，我知道她今晚会去世。
她屋里唯一的光线来自一台医疗设备，它闪着红光，似乎在发出警告。
我站在那里，一股怪味刺激着我的鼻子，我想起了过去闻到过的腐烂的气味，我闭上了眼睛。
我嘴里有一股从胃里返上来的酸味。
我伸手去开灯。
灯静静地照亮了整个病房，我走回病床边，用无动于衷的、医生的目光观察着病人。
克拉克夫人已奄奄一息了。
她一动不动地躺着：骨瘦如柴的身体使她的头显得特别大；皮肤呈暗黄色，松松地裹在嶙峋的、连毛毯也遮掩不住的骨骼上；她的右臂平伸在床边，被无情地用胶带固定在一块板上，以便能固定针头使液体滴入；左臂横放在深陷的胸部，胸口随着不均匀的呼吸一起一伏。
我伸手去触摸她放在胸口的细长手指。
冰凉冰凉的。
我忙将手移到她的手腕，去感觉那微弱的脉搏。
克拉克夫人将头稍稍转向我，微微地睁开眼。
我俯过身去，勉强听见她微弱的声音：“水。
”我从桌上拿起一杯水，用手指封着吸管的一端，滴了几滴凉凉的水到她的嘴里，以缓解她的干渴。
她没有用力去吞咽，因为力气不够。
“还要，”那干涩的声音说。
于是我们又重复了一次。
这次她终于咽了一些，并轻轻说了声：“谢谢，你。
”她虚弱得没法交谈，因此没等她要求，我就开始做她所需要的。
我像抱孩子似的把她抱起来，给她翻了个身。
除了一件浅色的病号服，她什么也没穿。
她又小又轻，像遭受了严重饥荒一样。
我打开护肤霜的瓶盖，揩了一些在手心。
为了不伤着她，我小心翼翼地把护肤霜擦在她发黄的皮肤上。
她的皮肤松松地在骨头上滑动，背上每块骨头的轮廓都能清楚地摸到。
当我把枕头放在她两腿之间时，发现它们也是冰凉的，直到把手移到她膝盖以上的部位，我才感受到血液供给生命的热度。
而后，我挪了把椅子面朝她坐在床边，握住她那只没被固定的手，此时我又一次注意到她细长的手指。
很优雅。
一时间，我突然想知道她是否有家庭，接着我发现病房里没有花，没有孩子们画的彩虹和蝴蝶，也没有卡片。

But as graduation presents for us both, the whole family took a Fourth of July trip to Washington D.C.，the fabled and famous capital of our country.Detailed Reading2 It was the first time I’d ever been on a railroad train during the day。
When I was little, and we used to go to the Connecticut shore，we always went at night on the milk train，because it was cheaper。

Preparations were in the air around our house before school was even over. We packed for a week。
There were two very large suitcases that my father carried，and a box filled with food. In fact，my first trip to Washington was a mobile feast; I started eating as soon as we were comfortably ensconced in our seats, and did not stop until somewhere after Philadelphia。

Test of Spoken English (TSE)华中科技大学英语口语考试
T est of Spoken English (TSE)1. Enjou your feelingsIn our life,it can’t be ignored to meet with anger,sadness,happiness and so on.When we keep company with others,every action is a reflection of our feelings.As though there is a relationship between reason and emotion,who can promise to control them freely by themselves,especially in a dabate?For example ,in a debate,your partner disagrees with you in some views,and you are of confidence on what you insist on.Then a long discussion without any results will be easy to make you flare up.The multinational you are doing your field project at offers you a job at a good starting salary ,then you will be on top of the world .No matter what you are doing ,such ad walking,eating,talking,even sleeping ,you cann’t help to smile.So,just enjoy your feeling,either sorrow or happiness.Question:How will you do when you want to cry ,let it go or prevent it?If I were in that case,I would cry to my heart's content in a quiet place without anyone around.In my eye’s ,cry is just a way to release my inner emotion,not a representation of weakness or somethings else.There is no reason for me to prevent it.2. Beauty can be boughtNowadays ,we can buy manythings,including beauty.Beautiful clothes of big-name brand dress us fashionable,and expensive skin care products make us look more beautiful.What’s more ,pastic surgery can even improve one’s appearance greatly.There is no doubt that such treasures for beauty costs a lot of money.But what it matters for a girl or boy loving beauty? Not only the young ,bu also the adultso afford much for beauty,Beacause an employee with a beautiful appearance will be more competitive in the job market and be so faced（有面子）.If I had a lot of money ,I would pay more for something that will make my heart more beautiful.For example,I will do something polished（优雅的）,such as playing piano and golf for myself.For society,I will pick up much money to those in need.In my opinion,those with beautiful heart is the most beautiful,no matter how much money it costs.3. Watch out when nature strikes back.As we all know,there are many natural disasters taking place on the earth.Once occur ,they will cause lots of damage.Take the earthquake of Japan as an example.The road is destroyed.The buildings are falling down.Further more it may cause tasunami and a nuclear leakage accident.Because of these, tens of thousands of people lose their life and thousands of homeless people.For example ,Theren is an awful affair that a great earthquake hit Japan this year.What is worse,the earthquake led to a nuclear leakage accident which really destroyed the environment around.Even though we can’t prevent it from taking place,we can decrease the lose.Many unusual phonomenna will occur before the earthquake,.For example,lots of frogs will appear on the road,and dogs will bark unusually.From these,we can predict its coming . Although the disasters is terrible,it is no use to complain and be afraid when nature strikes back.What we need to do is to bravely face up with disasters.4. Is work just another four-letter word?It’s not far away for us to be fresh from our college .And we have to face up with the job market.What I want to say is the attitude to work: work isn’t just another four-letter word. Itmeans that work is action ,not a word.No matter whether we are diligent or efficient, manifesting（/'mænifest/ 表现出）an excellent ability to prioritize([prai'ɔritaiz] vt. 把…区分优先次序) and to work under pressure.,there is no doubt that we keep getting along well with our colleagues, demonstrating a good spirit of teamwork.And we should perform well to get promotion,take on some new responsibilities.Only do we really do something ,will we get something in the work.Arguments for “Live to Work”Some people live to work. They want to have a fulfilling profession.Work that is worth doing gives mental satisfaction to the doer, and brings social and personal esteem.One should always enjoy what one does even if the salary is low. It is our duty to contribute to society.Whatever one does is a creative experience, even cooking, sewing, and other “do it yourself” activities.We shouldn’t regard work merely as a money-making process. We should take a wider perspective on work.To work is a human need and a unique human characteristic.Only when we live to work do we live nobly.Arguments for “Work to Live”Some people work to live. Work is a means to an end. It is only a way to make money.People who works to live has a very strong sense of responsibility for his/her family and himself/herself as well.Work should not rule one’s life. As soon as one arrives home from work, one should forget about the office.For most people the major reason for working is that people need to keep themselves alive, to pay for somewhere to live, to pay for food and children education.Making money, not work itself, is gratifying and exciting. People’s lies are actually geared toward this because the amount of money one earns symbolizes his/her position in society.If people live to work, they will become work addicts. For them, work becomes an end in itself, a way to escape from their family, inner life, and society.Tips: proverbsAll work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.Many hands make light work.Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup).A bad workman always blames his tools.Make hay while the sun shines.Work makes the workman.Work has a bitter root but sweet fruit.A work ill done must be twice done.5. Distant pastures(['pɑ:stʃə] n. 牧场；牧草) are always greener.(这山望着那山高)Distant pastures are always greener than here.Maybe It tells us that something wecan’t get is the most precious.For us, this idiom is a perfect reflection on our envy of our neighbor, so to speak. It’s the self-pitying sentiment(态度) we often entertain, that jobs and station in life in general are imperfect, inadequate and intolerable while other people seem to have all the fun.Job-hunters, for exa mple are often described as looking for “greener grass”, or “greener pastures”.They are always worried the job doesn’t satisfy their ambition,and wish another job with more salary.Actually ,there isn’t wrong for anyone to follow the better,or search the preferable.What we need to do is to control the ambition,and enough is enough(适可而止).In a word, value what we have here and now,and we will live with each other in harmony.QUESTION:After finishing undergraduate studies, would you like to find a job or pursue a postgraduate degree?Some students prefer to look for a favorable job, through which they can gain useful experience that they cannot get from books. When they move on to a higher level job one day, then, they will already have experience in that field. At work, they can give full play to their practical abilities, and may be promoted to department manager by the time their classmates complete their Master’s degree programs.On the other hand, some students are not eager to take up a job and prefer to continue to study towards a Master’s degree or even a PhD. And we all know, knowledge is power. Although not everything you learn will be directly applicable at work, knowledge does improve your character overall. In the long run, those who acquire more knowledge will benefit from it.Tips:(Humor)One of the most tactful men I ever knew was the man who fired me from my first job. He called me in and said, “Son, I don’t know how we’re going to get along without you, but starting Monday, we’re going to try.”6. The truth can be stranger than fiction.The truth always incites(勾起) curiosity among us，and leaves suspended interest to us.There are many truths can be interesting.For example,Is it really bad luck ,how the Stonehenge was constructed,is there any relationship between superstitions(迷信) and real life,or whether ETs exist?Actually, many of those are still unanswered,due to the limit of technology.Tips: Two brothers were watching a horror film on video late one night. One brother dozed off and dreamed that he was being chased by the crazy man from the movie, who was trying to kill him. In the dream, he hid in a cupboard. There was no sound except his heart pounding, and he had no idea where his crazed captor was. He was terrified! At that moment, the video finished, and his brother put his hand on the shoulder of his sleeping sibling to wake him. The shock at that tense moment was enough that the sleeping brother suffered a massive heart attack and died instantly.。

Unit5Suicide on Campus在校园内自杀Anchor: Good morning, everybody. I’m expecting all of you to gather here for the half-hour Early Show. Today, parents and students alike are constantly reminded of the problems like drug and alcohol abuse, and unsafe sex on college campuses. But relatively few are warned about suicide. And suicide is second only to accidents as a leading cause of death among college students.主持人：早上好，大家。
我希望你们都能为了半小时的早期节目集合在这里。
今天，家长和学生都在不断地提醒大学校园里像药物和酒精滥用和不安全的性行为的问题。
但相对较少的人警告说，自杀。
自杀是仅次于大学生意外死亡的主要原因。
Our Early Show correspondent Tracy Smith reports on this very real danger that often goes undiscussed. Hello, Tracy. 我们早期的节目记者特雷西史密斯报道这个经常讨论的非常现实的危险。
你好，特雷西。
Tracy Smith: Hi, Teresa. I know that today’s topic －campus suicides －is obviously weightier than the others we have talked about before. But we cannot give up eating for fear of choking. It is high time we looked at the issue face to face. A study by the American College Health Association showed that 15 percent of students meet the criteria for clinical depression. Although it’s a topic cloaked in stigma and shame, more colleges and universities are choosing to confront it, rather than wait until it’s too late. They have begun to look seriously into the reasons and seek solutions to the problem and actively intervene. Now let’s watch a short film and get some hint of a young college guy’s tragedy.特雷西：嗨，特蕾莎。

Physical and mental exercises are designed to help achieve this goal, also calledself-transcendence or enlightenment. On the physical level yogapostures, called asanas, are designed to tone, strengthen,and align me body. These postures are performed to make the spine supple and healthy and to promote blood flow to all the organs, glands, and tissues, keeping all thebodily systems healthy. On the mental level, yoga uses breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation (dydna)to quiet, clarify, and discipline the mind. However, experts are quick to point out that yoga is not a religion, but away of living with health and peace of mind as its aim”““瑜伽”这个词源于梵语，意思是结合”或联合“s.万物之灵或无穷的意传统上瑜伽是一种把个人和神，识联合在一起的方法。

Some little bird told me that he often stays away from work without reason.M: Yeah, that's true. Besides, he quarreled with one of our important clients last month and what's even worse, he misappropriated the company's money. Q:Which of following is NOT a reason why Mike got fired?Between the ages of 20 and 30, most people have more than 8 jobs. This is a positive thing for a number of reasons. First of all, Daniel Gilbert, psychologist at Harvard, says that we really don't know what we'll like until we try it. So having a lot of jobs when you start your adult life is a good way to figure out what to do with your adult life.But, job hopping is a good thing for everyone to do—not justtwenty-somethings—because it's a way to maintain passion in your work. Frequent changes keep your learning curve high and your challenges fresh. Finally, frequent job hopping, coupled with high performance allows you to build a professional network much faster than someone who stays in oneposition over a long period of time. And a vibrant network will make findingjobs easier, so job hopping will not be a difficult path.It's clear that job hopping benefits the employee, not the employer. But when the majority of young people are job hopping, and companies are having a hard time attracting young people to work, recruiters don't have the luxury of writing people off just because they job hopped. Recruiters write people off because their résumé looks like they won't contribute enough to the company.So, the trick with job hopping is to make sure your résumé always shows that you make a huge contribution wherever you go. That can be independent of job duration. You can show that you are loyal to a company by exceeding their expectations with your outstanding performance. Loyalty is about delivery. Show that on your résumé, the same place you show job hopping.An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman sailed in. Inside the small boat were several large fish. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.The Mexican replied, "Only a little while." The American then asked why hedidn't stay out longer and catch more fish?The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.The American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, play with my children, drink wine and play the guitar with my friends. I have a full and busy life."The American laughed. "I'm a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing, and with the money earned, buy a bigger boat. Then with more money earned from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman, you would sell directly to the processing factory. Finally, you can open your own factory. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, and then Los Angeles where you will run your expanding enterprise."The Mexican fisherman asked, "But what then?"The American laughed and said, "When the time is right, you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public. Then you would make millions of dollars.""Millions. Then what?"The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishingvillage where you would sleep late, play with your children, drink wine and play the guitar with your friends.""What do you think I am doing now?" asked the Mexican fisherman.。

英语视听说对话练习
Unit 1 Enjoy your turn.Jim: You look down in the dumps. What can I do to cheer you up? Wallace: It’s not going to work. I’m depressed.Jim: Come on. Tell me what’s on your mind.Wallace:Everything. I can’t find an internship, my dog ran away, my wallet was stolen…Jim: Don’t worry. I’ll help you solve the big problem:finding you a new internship.Wallace:Thank you. Anyway, I’m getting bad grades, and I was told that I have to repeat a lot of courses next year. When I heard that, I almost lost it.Jim: Look, relax. I’ll help you with those courses.Wallace:Yeah, but I also want to eat breakfast.Jim: Forget it. You’re on your own.Wallace:Come on. What are friends for?Jim: To keep you in high spirits, not to buy breakfast.Unit 2 Beauty can be bought.Laura: Hi, Susan.Susan: Eh, sorry, but who are you?Laura: Come on! Don’t you recognize me? I’m Laura.Susan: What a surprised, so it's you.Laura: OK. I think liposuction is really necessary. It’s the right way for me to be attractive.Susan: Honestly, I won’t go as far as that. With surgery, I might look glamorous, but it’s against nature.Laura: Yeah, but I’m also concerned about the crow’s feet around my eyes. I think my face needs to be tightened up.Susan: But, Laura, you wouldn’t do that, would you?Laura: Darned right I would! I don’t expect my skin to be as smooth as a baby’s, but I really should look young.Susan: Isn’t makeup enough?Laura: Of course not, I really hope surgery can wipe out the tired look. Unit 3 Watch out when nature strikes back. Kate: Well, nowadays there seem to be many natural disasters.Jack: For example, firestorms occur here and there, now and then. Kate: Firestorms are a pretty interesting phenomenon. They generate so much heat that they create their own weather. Nothing you can do about it.Jack: Once a fire develops into a firestorm, you simply can’t put an end it. Some people think we shouldn’t try.Kate: You mean, just let the forests burn? We simply can’t stand by watching homes in flames.Jack: Some experts argue that it’s natural to have forest fires and that we shouldn’t try to interfere, except, of course, to save homes and lives. Kate: It seems wrong to permit fires to devour trees. What a waste that would be!Jack: But that’s nature’s way of cleaning up the debris that collects on the forest floor and creating new kinds of growth.Kate: Perhaps you’re right, but it still seems wrong to just let fires burn. Jack: After all, there have been verdant forests for millions of years without man’s help fighting the fires.Kate: I admit there’s something in what you said, but I still think it’s wrong to not put out forest fires.Unit 4 Is work just another four-letter word? Bob: Bob Smith here.Helen: Hi, Bob, it’s Helen. I’m calling to make an appointment with you. Bob: Hi,Helen. Glad to hear from you again. What’s on your mind? Helen: We’ve produced a new battery that is inexpensive, but powerful. It can last a long time.Bob: We’ve already got a goof selection. What’s so special about your new product?Helen: Well, could you arrange for me to meet your boss Linda? Then I’ll go into details.Bob: OK, when can you come?Helen: I was hoping to get together with Linda this week, if possible. I want to get going on this right away.Bob: Let me check her timetable…Yes, she’s completely free Thursday. Helen: OK. I’m sure it’ll be a rewarding meeting. Thank you. Good-bye. [Later]Bob: Hello. Is Helen there, please?Helen: Hello. Helen speaking.Bob: Hi, Helen, this is Bob. Something unexpected has come up. I’m afraid we have to postpone the meeting with you on Thursday. Helen: That’s disappointing. When can we meet?Bob: Linda has to put the meeting off until sometime on Friday. Will that suit you?Helen: I’m afraid I can’t go on Friday. I’ll be flying to another city onbusiness.Bob: Then could you come after five on Thursday?Helen: Certainly, Can we make it five thirty then?Bob: Five thirty’s perfect. Linda will be waiting for you at five thirty on Thursday.Helen: OK. Great! Thanks. Bye.Unit 5 Distant pastures are always greener. Jane: Mr. Johnson, I’m sorry, but I have to tell you I’m leaving.Mr. Johnson: Why, Jane? When are you leaving?Jane: Well, uh…Thank you very much for offering me a permanent job. But now I’ve received a notice of admission to a Master’s degree program in my university. I’m afraid I have to leave in three weeks.Mr. Johnson: Oh, what a pity. You did an excellent job here, and everyone likes you.Jane: I really enjoyed working here. But further studies will give me more opportunities to grow professionally.Mr. Johnson: In that case, I won’t keep you, Jane. I just want to tell you that I’m sad you’ll be leaving us.Jane: I hope this one-month notice will give you time to hire and train a replacement.Mr. Johnson: Thanks for the notice, Jane. Assistant like you are rare. I guess we’d better start looking as soon as possible.Jane: With your approval, I’ll post notice today and interview applicants for you.Mr. Johnson: That would be great. Schedule them in as you see fit. Jane, without you, things here will be different.Jane: Thank you for your kind words. If you have any problem, please feel free call me.Unit 6 The truth can be stranger than fiction. Tim: It’s interesting to note that so many people are superstitious nowa days.Ginger: Yeah. Many psychologists are researching the relationship between superstition and luck.Tim: What did they find? Most people would be interested. At least I would.Ginger: They polled 4000 people and found that positive superstitions often attract those who believe themselves to be lucky. They may wear a ring as a talisman or often say, ”touch wood” for good luck.Tim: Then, what about the unlucky people? Do you mean if they thinkthey are unlucky, they tend to believe in superstitions about bad luck? Ginger: Yeah. Broken mirrors make them anxious, a black cat running across their path, and so on.Tim: So what’s their point?Ginger: Their point is that people make their own luck by their attitude to life. So, 49 percent of lucky people regularly cross their fingers, compared to 30 percent of unlucky people. And only 18 percent of lucky people are anxious if they break a mirror.Tim: So, our fate has something to do with our attitude, not superstitions.Ginger: I think that’s what they are suggesting.Tim: This research seems too complicated. If I were a psychologist, I’d conduct a survey to find whether 13 really is an unlucky number. If there were more traffic accidents or murders on the 13th than on other days, then we’d have to believe in superstitions.Ginger: What if there weren’t?Tim: Then I’ll view superstition as rubbish.Ginger: What a brilliant idea! I never expected you to be as wise as Solomon.Tim: Well, as long as you don’t think I’m a fool.Unit 7 What shall we do when there’s nothing to do?David: Would you like to play a game of tennis?Emma: Thank you for asking, but it’s so hot.David: Look at you! You’re fat and flabby. You’d better get more exercise in your leisure time, or you’ll never be Governor of California.Emma: That’s right. I’m no Schwarzenegger, no Mr. Universe, so don’t bug me.David: He shows what exercise can do. He used to be a skinny kid from Austria.Emma: He likes exercise; I don’t. I was born tired, and I’ve been resting ever since.David: Seeing a fine specimen like him, don’t you feel like exercising vigorously to stay in good shape?Emma: Whenever I feel like exercising, I lie down and rest until the feeling passes.David: Ha ha, very funny. Surely you’re read about the dangers of obesity.Emma: Scientists constantly find dangers-smoking, cholesterol. Whatelse is new?David: You must know an exercise like walking benefits the mind and body.Emma: I do, and I walk every day-from my office to the parking lot, non-stop.David: OK, have it your way. Eventually you’ll be a burden on our health system.Emma: And just what do you mean by that? I’m not sick. My appetite is good.David: If you stay fat, heart trouble or high blood pressure could hospitalize you.Emma: Well, you may have a point there. I suppose we could go for a walk after dinner, slowly.Unit 8 Is biotechnology our friend or enemy? Sam: The cloning technology is developing fast, and I think we’ll soon be able to clone humans.Zoe: Oh, I have some reservations about it. There’re still many scientific problems to solve before human cloning starts.Sam: There’s an easier way. The Clonaid Company Says they’ve produced human clones.Zoe: Oh, my God! These guys claim aliens from another planet taught them human cloning.Sam: A woman gave them half a million dollars to clone her dead daughter.Zoe: Clearly that woman doesn’t know much about cloning. How dangerous it is!Sam: I know it’s inefficient. It took 276 tries to produce Dolly. But why is it risky?Zoe: Cloned animals are abnormal in size and grow old fast.Sam: In other words, that woman may not be happy with her cloned daughter.Zoe: Then there are the emotions. It’s still unknown if cloning damages the brain.Sam: Do you think human cloning should be legally prohibited?Zoe: To my mind, the cloning of human organs should be allowed. It may help solve medical problems.Sam: I see what you mean: Cloning should be regulated if it’s to benefit humanity.Unit9 You can learn how to ride the businesscycle.Marry: What are you reading, Jack?Jack: Well, an article about the export volume of the largest foreign trade company in our city. Hey! Look at this headline! China’s foreign trade should reach $1 trillion this year!Marry: Are you sure the figure is correct? How can they keep up such rapid growth for so many years running?Jack: A senior offcial of the Ministry of Commerce said so in Beijing Wednesday.Marry: As far as I know, China’s foreign trade volume was already $851.2 billion last year, up 37.1 percent from the previous year. That volume raned fourth in the world, following only the United States, Germany, and Japan.Jack: But the Chinese are working miracles. In the first half of this year, foreign trade came to $523 billion, up 39.1 percent over last year. Marry: I wonder how it can grow so fast.Jack: The U.S. economy has been very good. Booming consumption has provided opportunities for China’s exports.Marry: Is that the only reason China’s exorts have increased? Nor other factors?Jack: China encourages exports. The customs department refunds some export expenses.Marry: What’s happening with Chinese imports?Jack: Well, China has met her commitments to the World Trade Organization since she joined two and a half years ago. It has been gradually reducing tariffs and reinforcing intellectual property rights. She has opened her doors to the outside world wider. All these changes have led to an increase in her imports.Marry: You seem to be looking at China through rose-colored glasses. Jack: China is not without her problems. Some state companies can’t deal with the keen competition around the world. They have a weak anti-risk capability. Trade protectionism is widespread in some industries. Marry: Jack, I really admire your wide knowledge. I think you’ll be in line for Nobel Prize in Economics some day.Jack: You’re just pulling my leg again.Unit10 Learn how to manage your wealth.Bill: Hey, Jack, I hear you became a millionaire by investing in the stock market. But I always lose money in the market. Can you give me some suggestions?Jack: Well, you’d better observe the market closely.Bill: That’s a good point; perhaps I should be more open-minded about this.Jack: Don’t you think you’re a little short of funds at the moment?Bill: That’s true.Jack: You simply can’t afford to upgrade your facilities without considerable outside investment. The bank won’t lend you the money. Bill: I haven’t tried it.Jack: Even if it did, the interest rate on that much capital would be more than we could afford. I’m convinced: The only way to generate the funds we need is to go public.Bill: What should I do then?Jack: A consultant will be coming in next week to explain the registration procedure for an IPO.Bill: That’s great because I want to have a thorough understanding of what this entails before any decisions are made.Jack: The important point is that you have to demonstrate that you’re financially qualified to be listed on the stock market.。
基础综合英语unit5textB原文及翻译
Finding your true calling找寻内心真实的呼唤The very worst use of time in life is to stay for months or years at a job for which you are completely unsuited.However, a great number of people spend their whole lives doing something during the week so that they can somehow find some thing enjoyable to do on the weekend.人们一生中利用时间最糟糕的莫过于经年累月地从事自己完全不合适的工作。
可是, 有相当多的人却一生都是如此度过的: 工作日内做做事, 周末找些乐子。
In every case, these are men and women with very little future before them.They look upon their jobs as a form of drudgery, a penance they have to pay in order to enjoy the rest of their lives.And because of this attitude, they will seldom advance or be promoted.They will stay pretty much at the same level, moving from job to job, and always wondering why other people seem to live the "good life" while they feel they are living lives of quiet desperation.从各种情况看, 这些人的前途黯淡。

Listening 新视野4 Unit 5 Distant pastures are greener
Do you remember the time when people were a litter nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do. And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away form that. Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance out first, or never saying "Thank you" when others hold the door open for them. We get lazy. And in our laziness, we think that something, like a simple "Thank You" doesn't really matter. But it can matter very much. The fact that no matter how nicely we dress, or how beautifully we decorate we home, we can't be truly elegant without good manners because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand. In fact, I think of the good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret. Haven't you noticed that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? It's funny
(完整word版)unit5Takealessonfromtheeconomists翻译
Unit 5 Take a lesson from the economistsEconomics is the dismal science：so say the large number of people who heap scorn on the intellectural merits of the discipline. Much of the criticism comes from "pure” or "proper" scientist ——physicists, chemists and biologists。
Now，economics certainly has its failings。
But the general way in which economists approach and describe the world，and how they convey their message about it to others ，carries lessons which pure scientists should learn from。
经济学是一门消沉的科学：大量对这门学科的理性优点长期不屑的人这么说。
大部分批评来自于“纯粹"或者是“适当"的科学家们—物理学家们，化学学家们，生物学家们.现在，经济学的确有他的缺点，但是经济学家们接触和描述世界的一般方法和他们传递消息给其他人的方式,是纯粹科学家们需要学习的.Economics has inexactitudes and vagueness built into it. The general lack of reliable data about past events makes virtually impossible the accurate measurement of even the most basic economic variables, such as the total volume of output in a country, or the path of consumer spending，or inflation。

UNIT 5 Sociology Matters1.Culture is the totality of learned,socially transmitted customs,knowledge,material objects,and behavior.It includes the ideas,values,customs,and artifacts of groups of people.Though culture differ in their customs,artifacts,and languages,they all share certain basic characteristics.Furthermore,cultural characteristics change as cultures develop ,and cultures infuence one another through their technological ,commercial, and artistic achievements.文化是指社会传播学，海关，知识，材料的对象，和行为。
它包括思想，价值观，习俗，和人群的文物。
尽管文化在他们的习俗，文物，和语言不同，但是他们都有一些共同的基本特性。
此外，当文化发展时文化特征也在变化，并且文化通过他们的技术，商业，艺术成就相互影响。
Cultural universals文化共性2.All societies,despite their differences,have developed certain general practices known as cultural universals.Many cultural universals are ,in fact,adaptations to meet essential human needs ,such as people’s need for food ,shelter,and clothing. Anthropologist George murdock compiled a list of cultural that included athletic sports, cooking ,funeral ceremonies,medicine,and sexual restrictions.所有的社会，尽管他们的差别，已经形成了一定的一般做法被称为文化的共性。
