The fragrance and beauty of this flower arrangement is sure to win her heart.Q:How many red roses does the "I Love You" flower arrangement consist of? ScriptMany Americans buy an evergreen tree for Christmas. They put the tree in their home and hang small lights and colorful objects on it. The evergreenis usually a pine or a fir tree. It remains green during the cold, dark monthsof winter in the northern part of the world. So it is a symbol of everlasting life.The Christmas tree may have developed in part from a popular play performed hundreds of years ago in what is now Germany. Traditionally, the play was held on December 24th, the day before Christmas. The play was about the first people that God created—Adam and Eve. People put apples on an evergreen tree to represent the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden.By the year 1600, some Germans began bringing evergreen trees into their homes. They put fruit, nuts and sweets on the trees. They shared the food among family members and friends after the holiday season.Some people say the German religious reformer Martin Luther was the first person to add lighted candles to an evergreen tree. They say he did thisto show how wonderful the stars had appeared to him as he traveled one night.In the early 1800s, German settlers in the state of Pennsylvania were the first to celebrate the holiday with Christmas trees in the United States.The Christmas tree tradition spread to many parts of the world. Today, some form of Christmas tree is part of most Christmas celebrations. Some people put a star on top of their Christmas tree. It represents the star that led the three wise men to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem.ScriptIn 16th century France, the start of the New Year was observed on April first. It was celebrated in much the same way as it is today with parties and dancing balls into the late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world, and the New Year fell on January first. There were some people, however, who hadn't heard or didn't believe the change in the date, so they continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April first. Others played tricks on them and called them "April fools". They sent them to do something foolish or tried to make them believe that something false was true. French children fooled their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs. When the "young fool" discovers this trick, the person who played the trick yells "April fish!"Today Americans play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on the first of April. One common trick on April Fool's Day is pointing down to a friend's shoe and saying, "Your shoelace is untied." Teachers in the 19th century used to say to pupils, "Look! A flock of geese!" and point up. School children might tell a classmate that school had been canceled. Whatever the trick, if the innocent victim falls for the joke, people yell, "April fools!"Most April fools jokes are in good fun and not meant to harm anyone. The cleverest April fools joke is the one where everyone laughs, especially the person upon whom the joke is played..。

新视野大学英语第三册unit5_graceful_hands全文翻译与原文

unit5 Graceful Hands 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。

Taking a glass of water from the table, I put my finger over the end of the straw and allow a few drops of the cool moisture to slide into her mouth and ease her thirst. She makes no attempt to swallow; there is just not enough strength. “More,” the dry voice says, and we repeat the procedure. This time she does manage to swallow some liquid and weakly says, “Thank, you.”

The business has been in the family for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless clients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in front of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the wear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he’d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell.Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for the repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a price for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.” The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can’t pay you a hundred pounds!” Thinking about it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “What would you charge me to dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I’d get a new square step?” The stonemason hesitated, “20pounds.”“Do it!” Demanded the accountant, “And call me when you’re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15minutes the stonemason rang the bell. As the accountant opened the door, he saw the stonemason standing there, pointing to a deep dip in the step. The stonemason laughed as he said, “Your great-great granddaddy thought of that a hundred and fifty years ago!”Keys: FTFFTFor Referencecountless clients that had gone in and out of the officeHe turn the step over so that the worn part was in the groundTask3: Where to Start Your BusinessScriptYou have to consider the location when launching a business. You will be “planning your business tree” there and will have to maintain it for years to come. You have to keep in mind a few things when deciding on a place t open your business.First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringing people in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of town” because it is less expensive. Your address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since unemployment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what type of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that you will have t o spend I the recruiting phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate the business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate with the local community and get to love it. To make the community warm to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local Chamber of Commerce, Business Association, City Council Committees, or other local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring “one day”to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business?What is the speaker mainly talking about?What must you find if you are going to locate a business at a distance from your home?According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?What will the recruiting money tell you?What can you do the get on well with the locate people?Kes: 1D 2.C3.

We need to plan our proposal for this Friday’s business meeting.Dick: Sure. I’ve summarized the results in the handouts, broken down by customer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered to 550 men and women between the age of 18 and 55 years old, and the results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18to 26, 27to 35,36to 45, and 46to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities is between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36to 45 years old.Martin: Okay.Dick: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.Martin: And what about these groups broken down by gender?Dick: Oh, Martin, thanks for bringing that up. Men appears to be slightly more active than women in the 18 to 26 year-old age group, but women seem more active in the other three groupsMartin: Hmm. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future. I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athletic shoes, particularly jogging shoes and tennis footwear. We also have to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.Dick: I see what you mean. However, the 46 to 55 age group is becoming more concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should not neglect them.Martin: I see your point. Well, let’s meet again on Wednesday to iron out more details of this proposal.Discussion SAMPLEA: How many people do you think we have to survey before we can have a clear idea about the sales potential for each product?B: I think our survey must be administered to at least 300 men and women of various ages, incomes and occupations. Otherwise the results won’t be reliable.A: Perhaps we can use our common sense to predict the results.B: Obviously, young people pay more attention to their clothes than older people, and they tend to buy more.A: It’s clear that women are more active in buying dresses. Our production should target women.B: What do you think about the various income groups? Do you think we should aim mainly at the high income group?A: It’s hard to say. Some rich people are very careful with their money. So, we have to wait until the investigation results come out.B: Now let’s switch to sports shoes. Which group do you think may be active?A: I guess the young people may buy the most because many of them like sports a great deal.B: I think this group will be followed by the old group instead of the middle-aged group. The old people are becoming more concerned about staying fit.A: I agree. And I believe this trend will continue, so we shouldn’t neglect them.B: What may be the result broken down by gender?A: Many people think men are more active than women, but I’m not quite sure.B: Ok, let’s carry out our survey as early as possible and let facts speak for themselves.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Hot Business IdeasScriptBusiness ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a careful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you might sell, here are some ways that may help you find one.First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. The difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases its value.But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vegetable delivery service—for a free.What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business.Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existing products or service. We all know that the person who can build a better mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, but found the commercially available product too flimsy.There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Start generating business ideas by looking at the products and services you use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better.What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea?Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention?Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap?Which of the following is true according to the passage?Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.DTask 2: What do you know about business?ScriptHistorically, the term business referred to activities or interests. By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”. People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways. In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers. Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.Task3: An office boy or a billionaire?A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy”at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clean the floor.“You are engaged,” he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will start.” The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don’t have an email, that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 dollars. The man realizes that he could survive this way, and started to go out early and returned late every day.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. A little later, he bought a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers in the United States. He started to plan his family’ future, and decided to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. Before the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him for his email address. The man replied,” I have no email.”The broker replied,” You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire! Can you imagine what you could have been you had an email.”The man replied, “ An office boy at Microsoft!”For Reference“If you don’t have an email that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 dollars.He bought a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.He thought that with an email , he would have become an office boy at Microsoft.News ReportA Historic Settlement between the Law and Business ScriptBill Gates, Microsoft Chairman:We hope that when the state attorney general fully reviewed the settlement, they will also agree that it’s the right way forward. Litigation is never a good thing for any industry or any company. We have said for some time that we would go the extra mile to resolve this case. That is exactly what we did in reaching this settlement.The experience of the past the three years hs had a profound impact on me personally and on our company. We are in a fast-moving, competitive industry, but we will focus more on how our actions affect other companies. John Ashcroft, U.S Attorney General:Today we are announcing a strong, historical settlement reached by the Department of Justice and the Microsoft Corporation that will put an end to Microsoft’s unlawful conduct, bring effective relief to the marketplace, and ensure that consumers will have more choices in meeting their needs of computing and working with their computers. This settlement is the right result for consumers and for businesses, the right result for the economy, and the right result for government. It provides prompt, effective, certain relief for consumers and removes the uncertainty in the computer market, a critical factor in today’s economy.。

Jessica: It’s reasonable to keep your employees’ welfare in mind.Bill: Yes, we don’t want to disappoint them.Jessica: Then let’s talk about specifics.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: I hear that your corporation has considered acquiring a software development company for some time.B: That’s quite true. What’s on your mind?A: We’ve been looking for a merger partner. And we think our company would be a good match for you.B: Definitely. We have a number of first-rate programmers (program writers\software engineers), and one of our software products is a hit.A: Then why do you want a merger?B: We can certainly survive on our own. The problem with us is that we don’t as many reliable sales outlets as you have. We hope your company can propel us to even greater heights.A: As a matter of fact, we’ve already received a few attractive bids. So we have to be cautious in making a decision.B: I hope you will find our company an all-around excellent match. The merger wil turn out to be a win-win (double-win\two-win) situation.A: I think that might be, though we still have to discuss specifics.B: Well, we of curse need to work out a scheme that is attractive for both parties.A: True, we have to keep in mind the interests of the shareholders of bothsides.B: Good. That’s why they call youheadhunters.V. Let’s TalkScriptMartin: Dick, would you review the result of the survey on leisure sporting activities. We need to plan our proposal for this Friday’s business meeting.Dick: Sure. I’ve summarized the results in the handouts, broken down by customer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered to 550 men and women between the age of 18 and 55 years old, and the results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18to 26, 27to 35,36to 45, and 46to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities is between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36to 45 years old.Martin: Okay.Dick: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.Martin: And what about these groups broken down by gender?Dick: Oh, Martin, thanks for bringing that up. Men appears to be slightly more active than women in the 18 to 26 year-old age group, but women seem more active in the other three groupsMartin: Hmm. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future. I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athletic shoes, particularly jogging shoes and tennis footwear. We also have to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.Dick: I see what you mean. However, the 46 to 55 age group is becoming more concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should not neglect them.Martin: I see your point. Well, let’s meet again on Wednesday to iron out more details of this proposal.Discussion SAMPLEA: How many people do you think we have to survey before we can have a clear idea about the sales potential for each product?B: I think our survey must be administered to at least 300 men and women of various ages, incomes and occupations. Otherwise the results won’t be reliable.A: Perhaps we can use our common sense to predict the results.B: Obviously, young people pay more attention to their clothes than older people, and they tend to buy more.A: It’s clear that women are more active in buying dresses. Our production should target women.B: What do you think about the various income groups? Do you think we should aim mainly at the high income group?A: It’s hard to say. Some rich people are very careful with their money. So, we have to wait until the investigation results come out.B: Now let’s switch to sports shoes. Which group do you think may be active?A: I guess the young people may buy the most because many of them like sports a great deal.B: I think this group will be followed by the old group instead of the middle-aged group. The old people are becoming more concerned about staying fit.A: I agree. And I believe this trend will continue, so we shouldn’t neglect them.B: What may be the result broken down by gender?A: Many people think men are more active than women, but I’m not quite sure.B: Ok, let’s carry out our survey as early as possible and let facts speak for themselves.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Hot Business IdeasScriptBusiness ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a careful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you might sell, here are some ways that may help you find one.First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. The difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases its value.But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vegetable delivery service—for a free.What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business.Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existing products or service. We all know that the person who can build a better mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, but found the commercially available product too flimsy.There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Start generating business ideas by looking at the products and services you use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better.What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea?Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention?Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap?Which of the following is true according to the passage?Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.DTask 2: What do you know about business?ScriptHistorically, the term business referred to activities or interests. By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”. People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways. In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers. Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.Task3: An office boy or a billionaire?A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy”at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clean the floor.“You are engaged,” he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will start.” The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don’t have an email, that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 dollars. The man realizes that he could survive this way, and started to go out early and returned late every day.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. A little later, he bought a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers in the United States. He started to plan his family’ future, and decided to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. Before the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him for his email address. The man replied,” I have no email.”The broker replied,” You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire! Can you imagine what you could have been you had an email.”The man replied, “ An office boy at Microsoft!”For Reference“If you don’t have an email that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 dollars.He bought a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers in the United States.He started to plan his family’ future, and decided to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.He thought that with an email , he would have become an office boy at Microsoft.News ReportA Historic Settlement between the Law and Business ScriptBill Gates, Microsoft Chairman:We hope that when the state attorney general fully reviewed the settlement, they will also agree that it’s the right way forward. Litigation is never a good thing for any industry or any company. We have said for some time that we would go the extra mile to resolve this case. That is exactly what we did in reaching this settlement.The experience of the past the three years hs had a profound impact on me personally and on our company. We are in a fast-moving, competitive industry, but we will focus more on how our actions affect other companies. John Ashcroft, U.S Attorney General:Today we are announcing a strong, historical settlement reached by the Department of Justice and the Microsoft Corporation that will put an end to Microsoft’s unlawful conduct, bring effective relief to the marketplace, and ensure that consumers will have more choices in meeting their needs of computing and working with their computers. This settlement is the right result for consumers and for businesses, the right result for the economy, and the right result for government. It provides prompt, effective, certain relief for consumers and removes the uncertainty in the computer market, a critical factor in today’s economy.。
