Passage:The ladies were puzzled. Cheryl Spangler, Valeria Borunda Jameson and Susan Puckett, three university-admissions workers on a training visit to Florence, Kentucky, had walked into a local barbecue joint called Chung Kiwha. But instead of sauce-covered mutton served up from the kitchen, they saw a buffet of uncooked meats and vegetables. Instead of knives and forks, they were given large scissors, chopsticks and metal tongs. No candle flickered at their table, but a bucket of fiery wood charcoal hissed in the tabletop grill pit. Chung Kiwha served barbecue, all right—cook-it-your-self Korean barbecue. “I didn’t realize there were restaurants like this,” marveled Spangler to her friends, who hail from Knoxville, Tennessee, and I worked in restaurants for 20 years.The secret is out, thanks to the growing popularity of restaurants where the customer is the chef. Long a staple of immigrant communities in big cities, restaurants where diners chop, grill, boil, or dip their dip their food are hot in the American heartland. St.Paul, Minnesota, has Thai hot-pot cooking. Indianapolis, Indiana, has Japanese shabu-shabu (another type of hot pot). A pizzeria in Las Vegas lets customers roll the dough.Why would people bother going out to cook their own meal? “Americans want control,” says Hudson Riehle, senior vice president of research for the National Restaurant Association. “The cook-it-your-self experience embodies the American values of freedom of choice and independence.” With families spending 46% of their food budget on meals outside the home, they miss the cooking experience—sort of. “Psychologically, people want to be a little involved,” says Pamela Parseghian, executive food editor at Nation’s Restaurant News.Not every diner, however, embraces the experience. Dragged in by enthusiastic wives, “men often sit with their arms crossed…that is, until we fill them up with good wine,”says Will Layfield, owner of the Melting Pot in Westwood, New Jersey. At the Vinok let, diner Grey Schafer says, “I don’t cook at home, and if I’m going to pay good money, I want someone to do the cooking for me.” What’s more, do-it-your-self dining isn’t cheap. At the Minturn Country Club in Minturn, Colorado, Kobe beef costs $49.95—uncooked. Still, restaurant-owners insist that the customer knows best. “Who knows what to them is rare?” says Mikulic, owner of Vinoklet. “This way, if they screw it up, I get no complaints.” Back at Chung Kiwha in Florence, diner Puckett sees it this way: “We don’t have to clean up, do we?.”参考译文:这些女士有些迷惑不解。

However, today we are coming to realize that tourism is a mixed blessing: it has advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it can bring money to parts of the world that very much need it. People can earn a great deal through tourism. And this income can help to preserve the environment. Anything that helps to protect the ecosystem, the interrelated community of plants and animals that makes up the earth, is, of course, positive.A recent worry, however, is the fact that tourism can cause serious damage to the fragile environments they love to visit. Ecosystems are delicate and easily damaged. Around the world, areas are endangered by the large numbers of tourism who visit them. On every continent, tourism threatens the environment.Even trekkers who take difficult journeys on foot can cause damage.There are, then, serious dangers that come with the promise of tourism. Every advantages bring with it real disadvantages. This dilemma makes planning difficult for nations trying to decide what to do. Countries can make a good deal more money from the tourist industry than they need to put into attracting tourists. This financial profit can help nations protect habitats where endangered animals and plants live. It also may be that tourism can help strengthen local culture by encouraging awareness of traditions and ceremonies. Historic buildings thrive on tourism. These cultural locations enjoy great success with the money and respect brought by tourism.But there is a down side to all this. Because cultural sites are becoming too crowded, Disneyland-like reproductions are being created. These are not authentic cultural sites but copies of something that may or may not have ever really existed. Some people say, “what’s the value of tradition if it’s kept alive for profit, and bears little relation to real life?”Taken together, the negative effects of tourism grow larger over time. The cumulative effects of tourism are great because every time we use cars or planes to travel we contribute to one of the greatest disruptions in the history of the planet: global warming and climate change are interrupting what has been the normal climate pattern for centuries.New approaches to the problem are also being developed. One initiative has been the development of tourist opportunities in which the tourists both give and receive through working vacations. This kind of personal, small-scale tourism is meant to be a positive response with its large-scale organizing. Workingtourism may not be for everyone, but the hope is that some kinds of travel can become more planet friendly.参考译文:吸引游客到某个国家旅游曾一度被认为是绝对成功的,因为这种做法似乎没有什么负面效应。

公共英语等级考试三级(PETS3)学习笔记(七)Unit 26 Find a JobDialogues /monologues:1、Once, everyday brought new challenges and experiences. Now, As far as your job‟s concerned, you‟ve been there, seen it and done it too.As far as… concerned:就……而言。
如:As far as we‟re concerned you can go whenever you want.就我们而言,随时想走都可以走。
2、My experience it that if you have a control of several languages, then you put it in, you put thatto use only occasionally—but the occasion is often a highly critical one!put sth in 花时间(精力)做某事。
如:Thank you for all the hard work you‟ve put in.——谢谢你的这一切努力。
全句翻译:我的经验是如果你确实已经掌握了几种语言,也要花很多时间去练习,因为在某些场合你会用到这些语言——而这些场合通常都是至关重要的!Passage:How to find freelance administrative workIf you have good office management and computer sills,you might consider looking for freelance administrative work. As a general category, this includes word processing, data entry, calendar or appointment planning, basic billing and other administrative support tasks. If you have administrative experience, then all the better for showing prospective employers that you are knowledgeable, skilled and reliable.Your first step to finding freelance administrative work is to craft a list of services. Write something up yourself, then research online and in newspaper classified ads to get ideas about services to add to your list or other ways to word your offerings. The goal is to present a comprehensive list of services that leaves no questions in the reader‟s mind.Once you have this list, you can add your hourly fees. If you‟ve unsure about what your rates should be, call several local temp agencies to learn what they charge their clients. You can also use the salaries advertised in the newspaper as a guild—simply divide the annual salary into an hourly rate.You‟ll also need a current resume. Even if you go through temp agencies or Web sites to find work, having both a resume and a list of services will help you look professional and easily fill out all the forms and paperwork.There are many sources for finding work. You many wantto target one source at a time, or make up lists of companies from all sources and start with a few from each. Either way, you will be making lots of phone calls and visiting lots of local businesses to make your pitch.You may talk to any previous employers and let them know you are freelancing. Inform the human resources or temp workers. If you are working now, consider starting your freelance business on the side and working slowly toward independence. You may even be able to get freelance work from your company.You may also do some research at your local library, the chamber of commerce and through the local paper to target small businesses that might need occasional or ongoing part-time work. Small operations such as landscaping, construction, food or catering and painting are sometimes too small to pay for a full-time office helper and too busy to do the work themselves. These companies could use someone in the office for a few hours a week or a monthly billing session.No matter where you get your work, remember that your performance will impact whether a company wants to hire you again and recommend you to other people. Work-of-mouth is an important resource for getting work, so make the best ofany work and networking opportunities.参考译文:怎样找到行政方面的自由职业如果你有很强办公室管理能力和电脑技术,也许可以考虑找一份行政管理方面的自由职业。

Passage:The该全球实验室20世纪是实验室的黄金时代。
伟大的研究问题的答案是在隐蔽的房间里寻找的,在那里,专业专家的小组在快乐的隔离中缩小(或放大)现象。
称之为涓滴科学时代:知识从有限的理性启蒙中心出现,然后慢慢为社会其他人所知。
科学是在白大褂工作的墙壁里制造出来的。
在实验室的边界之外,开始了纯粹经验的领域——而不是实验。
今天,这一切都在改变。
事实上,如果说这种自上而下的科学影响模式很快就什么都没有了,绝对什么都没有了,那将是轻描淡写的说法。
首先,实验室已经把它的墙延伸到了整个星球。
仪器无处不在。
房子、工厂和医院已经成为实验室的前哨。
以全球定位系统:为例,由于卫星网络,地质学家和生物学家现在可以在实验室外进行测量,精度与在实验室内相同。
与此同时,一个全球环境传感器网络实时监控着这个星球。
研究卫星从上方观察它,就好像地球在显微镜下一样。
室外科学和实验室科学的区别慢慢被侵蚀了。
第二,你不再需要白大褂或者博士来研究具体问题。
以空军奖章为例,这是一个法国患者倡导组织,专注于被忽视的遗传疾病。
它雇佣了研究人员,推动了有争议的程序,如基因疗法,并建立了一个完整的行业,同时产生了一个新的社会身份和一个新的研究议程。

I‘d left a note in my live Journal telling everyone where I’d be going. When I went online at the hotel, I found a comment from my friend Kim telling me that she lived nearby in Palo Alto, and asking if I wanted to get together. After checking with my parents, I rushed back to the computer to let her know that I cloud meet her on my way back too Los Angeles. We exchanged cell phone numbers and set up a meeting place and time. After hanging up, though, I began to get nervous. I had known her for a few months, but meeting someone in person is a lot different than chatting over the internet, and I was worried it wouldn’t turn out well. We both brought people with us for safety reasons—I brought my parents and she brought a friend—and met in front of a bookstore. I got there a few minutes early, and instructed my parents to please try not to embarrass me. I didn’t see her at first, but after a few minutes, we both recognized each other. Even though I’d never met her before, I felt like I knew her from all the times we’d talked online. We talked about graphic design, the classes we were taking, clubs we were in and college, which we were both stressed out about since California schools are so competitive and it’s becoming harder to get accepted into good universities. My parents seemed to have a good time too—my dad got into some incredibly involved science conversation with Kim’s friend Derrick. The meeting lasted less than an hour, since I had to get home. At the end, we hurried outside to take photos with each other, them said goodbye. Even though the meeting was short, it was a lot of fun, and we made plans to get together again if I came up north or she visited near Los Angeles. Now, we talk online several times a week. Before we had only a few conversations a month. Meeting Kim helped my parents and I get more used to the idea of online and offline life intersecting. I’m glad to have found friends whom I never would have discovered otherwise. 参考译⽂: 在去旧⾦⼭度假的途中,我得以有机会在现实⽣活中与每⼀位友见⾯。

Over the 200 years, Washington, D.C. has grown with the nation, and it now represents the very best of America.From its majestic monuments to its incomparable museums, from the Mall to the steps of the Capital, Washington offers visitorsone-of-a-kind attractions.The majestic capital building stands at the center of the city, allowing unobstructed views of the city’s most famous attractions. The immense open space of the Mall is marked off by the various museums of the Smithsonian Institution, the largest cluster of museums in the world. The national Air and Space Museum celebrates the nation’s achievements in flight and sp ace exploration, from the Wright brother’s first biplane to the Apollo moon mission and beyond. Visitors also line up for the Natural History Museum to learn about the sciences and to view the famous Hope Diamond. The Smithsonian Institution also includes the world-famous galleries. Art lovers should also appreciate the nearby National Portrait Gallery and National Museum of American Art.Looking past the Mall, the Washington Monument stands 505 feet above the city. It was the tallest man-made structure in America from its completion until the early 1900’s. Behind this monument are the reflecting pool and the trio of memorials dedicated to remembering President Lincoln and the wounded and killed of the Vietnam and Korean conflicts. New to the area of the tidal basin,and facing the Jefferson Memorial, a memorial to Franklin Roosevelt lies on the Potomac River which hosts millions of visitors each year.The offices of the various government agencies take up most of the space of the city, and most offer free tours to the public. The White House also offers free tours to the public. Just outside of the city, the national zoo houses thousands of animals on 163 acres of park. Among its residents are two giant pandas given to the United States as gifts from the People’s Republic of China. Across the river in Arlington, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier stands amidst the dim, grave and majestic Arlington National Cemetery.Washington has many other distractions from politics. Washington’s theatre life is thriving; it is second only to New York in number of theatre seats. The National Symphony and other musical companies play four schedules. As a temporary home to diplomats from around the world, Washington’s restaurant offerings are the finest and most diverse around.The beauty and grandeur of the nation’s capital continue to captivate millions of American and foreign tourists who visit Washington, D.C. each year.参考译文:华盛顿特区(又称华盛顿哥伦比亚特区)是美利坚合众国政府所在地。

However, today we are coming to realize that tourism is a mixed blessing: it has advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it can bring money to parts of the world that very much need it. People can earn a great deal through tourism. And this income can help to preserve the environment. Anything that helps to protect the ecosystem, the interrelated community of plants and animals thatmakes up the earth, is, of course, positive.A recent worry, however, is the fact that tourism can cause serious damage to the fragile environments they love to visit. Ecosystems are delicate and easily damaged. Around the world, areas are endangered by the large numbers of tourism who visit them. On every continent, tourism threatens the environment. Even trekkers who take difficult journeys on foot can cause damage.There are, then, serious dangers that come with the promise of tourism. Every advantages bring with it real disadvantages. This dilemma makes planning difficult for nations trying to decide what to do. Countries can make a good deal more money from the tourist industry than they need to put into attracting tourists. This financial profit can help nations protect habitats where endangered animals and plants live. It also may be that tourism can help strengthen local culture by encouraging awareness of traditions and ceremonies. Historic buildings thrive on tourism. These cultural locations enjoy great success with the money and respect brought by tourism.But there is a down side to all this. Because cultural sites are becoming too crowded, Disneyland-like reproductions are being created. These are not authentic cultural sites but copies of something that may or may not have ever really existed. Some people say, “what’s the value of tradition if it’s kept alive for profit,and bears little relation to real life?”Taken together, the negative effects of tourism grow larger over time. The cumulative effects of tourism are great because every time we use cars or planes to travel we contribute to one of the greatest disruptions in the history of the planet: global warming and climate change are interrupting what has been the normal climate pattern for centuries.New approaches to the problem are also being developed. One initiative has been the development of tourist opportunities in which the tourists both give and receive through working vacations. This kind of personal, small-scale tourism is meant to be a positive response with its large-scale organizing. Working tourism may not be for everyone, but the hope is that some kinds of travel can become more planet friendly.参考译文:吸引游客到某个国家旅游曾一度被认为是绝对成功的,因为这种做法似乎没有什么负面效应。
然而,今天我们开始意识到旅游业是福也是祸;它既能给我们带来有利的一面,也会给我们带来不利之处。
一方面,它可以为急需资金的国家带来财富。
人们可以从旅游业赚到很多钱,这些收入足够用来保护环境。
当然,任何有助于保护生态系统——这个构成我们赖以生存的世界、由动物和植物组成的生物群落,都是值得肯定的。
然而,最近令人们担心的一个事实是:游客会对自己钟爱的脆弱环境千万严重破坏。
生态系统非常脆弱,容易遭到破坏。
全世界范围内游客云集的地区都面临着危险。
无论在哪个洲,游客们都危胁着那里的环境。
就连喜欢艰苦跋涉的步行爱好者们也会对环境赞成危害。
那就是说旅游业给人们带来希望的同时,也给人类带来了危险。
每个优点都伴随着缺点。
这种两难境地使得那些国家在做规划时难以抉择。
这些国家从旅游业挣到的钱远比他们为吸引游客而投入的奖金多得多。
这部分财政收入可以帮助这些国家保护濒危动物和植物的栖息地。
通过鼓励人们保持传统和风俗的意识,旅游业还可以起到促进当地文化的作用。
历史景点需要旅游业的支持才能得以繁荣。
旅游业带来的奖金和人们对历史的尊重会使这些文化景点越来越兴旺。
但是,除此以外,旅游业也有负面影响。
因为文化景点变得越来越拥挤,类似迪尼斯乐园的娱乐场所越来越多。
而这些并不是真正的文化景点,只是可能存在或是可能不存在的某种东西的翻版而已。
有些人会问:“如果传统的存在只是为了盈利,而与真实生活无关,那么传统的价值又何在呢?”归结起来,旅游业带来的负面效应随着时间的推移会越来越大。
旅游业的累积效应是巨大的,因为每次我们驾车或乘飞机出游,都会对我们所生活的星球造成破坏:全球气温升高和气候变化会打乱几世纪以来一直正常的气候模式。
解决问题的新办法也正在陆续出台。
其中一个首创就是在旅游者工作休假期间给其提供度假机会。
这种个人的、小规模旅游被认为是那种典型的、已经产业化的大规模旅游业的积极反应。
工作旅游并非对所有人适用,但是给人希望的是:有些旅游形式能够更有益我们生活在这个星球。
