In 207 BC, Xiang Yu led the Chu rebel forces to victory at the Battle of Julu(巨鹿之战)against the Qin armies. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty,Xiang Yu proclaimed himself “Hegemon-King of Western Chu”(西楚霸王)and ruled a vast area of land covering parts of present—day Shanxi, Henan,Hubei, Hunan and Jiangsu. He engaged Liu Bang,the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, in a long struggle for power,known as the Chu—Han Contention(楚汉之争)that concluded with his eventual defeat and suicide at the bank of the Wu River。
2 the Battle of JuluThe battle was fought in Julu (in present—day Xingtai,Hebei,现今的河北邢台)primarily between forces of the Qin Dynasty and the insurgent(谋叛的)state of Chu。
大学英语第二册第6课 课文及课后答案
READING ACTIVTTYSkill: Reading Beyond the LinesA good reader is one who can read beyond the lines, seeing ideas implied through the words, and one who can bridge the gap between the obvious and the suggested, thus obtaining much more information. Let's look at the following sentence:John Henderson was driving home late last night from an exhausting business trip.As you might have realized, this is the opening sentence of the story THE HITCHHIKER (Reading Practice 10, Book I). It tells the reader whom the story is about-John Henderson, and when the event takes place-late one night, If we read carefully and thoughtfully we can also infer from this sentence that1. John Henderson may be a businessman because he has just finished a "business trip?"2. John Henderson must be very tired because the trip is "exhausting";3. John Henderson must be very eager to get home because he is driving "late" at night fight after this exhausting trip.Making inferences while reading will always help us achieve a better comprehension. But we should keep in mind that inferences must be made with care and supported by evidence. In order to make reasonable inferences we should1. read and think beyond the printed words;2. analyze the information given in the text;3. determine the author's reason for his choice of words.PassageRead carefully the following selection and complete the exercises after it.Words to KnowInventor 发明人Useless 无用的,无价值的Contrast 对比,对照Deserve 应受,值得Literature 文学Skillful 灵巧的,娴熟的Lover 爱好者;情人Financial 金融的Mankind 人类Scientific 科学的Explosive 炸药Outstanding 杰出的Weapon 武器Original 有独创性的injure 伤害glory 光荣,荣誉Alfred Nobel-a Man of ContrastsAlfred Nobel, the Swedish inventor and industrialist, was a man of many contrasts. He was the son of a bankrupt(破产者), but became a millionaire; a scientist with a love of literature, an industrialist who managed to remain an idealist. He made a fortune but lived a simple life, and although cheerful in company he was often sad in private. A lover of mankind, he never had a wife or family to love him; a patriotic son of his native land, he died alone on foreign soil. He invented a new explosive, dynamite(甘油炸药), to improve the peacetime industries of mining and road building, but saw it used as a weapon of war to kill and injure his fellow men. (1)During his useful life he often felt he was useless: "Alfred Nobel," he once wrote of himself, "ought to have been put to death by a kind doctor as soon as, with a cry, he entered life." World-famous for his works he was never personally well known, for throughout his life he avoided publicity. "I do not see," he once said, "that I have deserved any fame and I have no taste for it," but since his death his name has brought fame and glory to others.He was born in Stockholm on October 21, 1833 but moved to Russia with his parents in 1842, where his father, Immanuel, made a strong position for himself in the engineering industry. Immanuel Nobel invented the landmine and made a lot of money from government orders for it during the Crimean War(克里米亚战争), but went bankrupt soon after. Most of the family returned to Sweden in 1859, where Alfred rejoined them in 1863, beginning his own study of explosives in his father's laboratory. (2) He had never been to school or university but had studied privately and by the time he was twenty was a skillful chemist and excellent linguist, speaking Swedish, Russian, German, French and English. Like his father, Alfred Nobel was imaginative and inventive, but he had better luck in business and showed more financial sense. He was quick to see industrial openings(机会) for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. (3) Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward-looking industrialist.But Nobel's main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. (4) Seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. Perhaps because he could not find ordinary human love-he never married -he came to care deeply about the whole of mankind. He was always generous to the poor: "I'd rather take care of the stomachs of the living than the glory of the dead in the form of stone memorials," he once said. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause until his death in Italy in 1896. (5)His famous will, in which he left money to provide prizes for outstanding work in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology(生理学), Medicine, Literature and Peace, is a memorial to his interests and ideals. And so, the man who felt he should have died at birth is remembered and respected long after his death.Exercise AChoose the best answer to each question:1. According to the author scientists usuallya. take a serious interesting literatureb. take no serious interest in literature.c. take a serious interest in literature as well as science.2. Generally an industrialista. attaches more importance to practical considerations that to idealsb. considers practical matters as important as ideals.c. pays attention to practical considerations but manages to remain idealistic at the same time.3. Alfred Nobel said he did not deserve any fame and had no taste for it. From this we can infer that Alfred Nobel wasa. a self-conscious person.b. a generous person.c. a modest person.4. The expression "have no taste for" meansa. try to avoid.b. don't like.c. have no ability to enjoy.5. The expression "made a strong position for himself" could most suitably be replaced bya. became well established.b. made large profits.c. won himself a well-paid job.6. From the context we can guess that a "linguist" must bea. a person who studies and is good at foreign languages.b. an inventor in the engineering industry.c. a scientist with a talent for language learning.7. A person with much financial sense is onea. who has a very strong desire for money.b. who cares about nothing but making profits.c. who manages money matters well, making the best of chances for making profits.8. Alfred Nobel stood head and shoulders above others becauseaa. s a scientist he was imaginative and inventive.b. as an industrialist he showed prudent(慎重的) judgment had great foresight(预见)c. both a and b9. "I'd rather take care of the stomachs of the living than the glory of the dead in the form of stone memorials." The implication of this statement isa. we should honor the dead in some other way rather than by building stone monuments for them.b. rather than spend money and make efforts in building monuments in memory of the dead, we should do something to provide more good for the living.c. when we are planning to build monuments to honor the dead, we should also make real efforts to provide the living with more food10. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?a. In leaving behind a well-meant will, Alfred Nobel succeeded in building a permanent monument for his interests and ideals.b. Alfred Nobel made a glorious will so that he might be remembered and respected after his death.c. In his famous will Alfred Nobel expressed his wish that a monument should be put up in memory of him as a scientist and inventor.Exercise BTranslate into Chinese the underlined sentences in the passage.GUIDED WRITINGPART ISkill: Rearranging Sentences in Logical OrderRearrange the following sentences so that they form a coherent paragraph in logical order:1.

Text1(P33)We Need to Talk About EuropeLeaving the European Union would save every Dutch household9,800a year by 2035,claims Capital Economics,a London consultancy,in a report commissioned by Geert Wilders'far-right PVV party.Mr.Wilders calls this“the best news in years”, painting a picture of a country freed from the choke hold of Brussels,mass migration and high taxes,and enjoying more trade,more jobs and a booming economy.The report lists the benefits of departure,or“Nexit”:lower business costs because of less regulation;no more net payments to the EU;a doubling of the share of trade with emerging markets;faster economic recovery.The only cost is the transition from the euro to a new guilder,and this is“modest and manageable”.The report concludes that Dutch GDP would be10-13%higher by2035.This finds a receptive audience among those Dutch who are looking for scapegoats. Unemployment has doubled since2008and the economy is flat.A recent poll finds a majority of Dutch voters in favour of leaving the EU if that would lead to more jobs and growth.The PVV is leading in opinion polls before the European elections in May.Yet there are problems with the Capital Economics report.The idea that the economy would miraculously recover if freed from the European Central Bank's policies ignores the structural failings that hold it back.The assumption that having the guilder would allow a much looser monetary policy is,at best,questionable.And it defies political reality to imagine that the post-Nexit Netherlands would enjoy virtually cost-free access to the EU's single market,which takes75%of Dutch exports.Norway and Switzerlandboth pay for the privilege and have to comply with most EU laws and regulations;the latest Swiss vote for quotas on EU migration threatens the entire relationship.Despite its flaws,the report fires a welcome starting-gun for a debate about what is good and bad about the EU.Some66%of the Dutch feel their“No”vote in the2005 referendum on the EU constitution was largely ignored.If regulation costs as much as the report claims,and if the ECB's monetary policy is too restrictive,both should be changed. Defenders of the EU also need to stress its less tangible benefits,such as peace,shared interests and the boost to the fight against cross-border crime.Like many Europeans,the Dutch ask why jobs are scarce,why they cannot sell their houses and why life is so expensive.Mr.Wilders has a simple answer.Those who disagree must work to convince voters that Nexit would be a disaster.1.According to Wilders,the departure from the European Union would_____A.increase the taxes for the DutchB.retrench the cost of the PVV partyC.flourish the economy for Dutch householdD.seize the control of Brussels from EU2.It is indicated in paragraph2that___A.the impact of the shift of currency is mild for the DutchB.the mass-trading market is recovered for the European UnionC.European Union'GDP will suffer a considerable loss by2035D.the cutoff of regulations results in the decline of net payment3.Switzerland is cited as an example to show___A.the threat caused by EU migrationB.the privileges offered by EU laws and regulationsC.the structural flaws concealed within the European Central BankD.the merits generated from the EU’s trading market4.According to paragraph4which of the following statement is true?A.EU largely deprived the voting right of its citizensB.EU invisibly improved the living-standard for its citizensC.cross-border crime was the essential problem for EUD.the monetary policy of the Dutch government curb the income of its residents5.What is the subject of the text?A.Challenge to a current political systemB.Analysis of the pros and cons of NexitC.Criticism of the report commissioned by PVVD.Satire on an extravagant lifestyle of Dutch【参考译文】伦敦一家咨询公司凯投宏观在一份报告中指出:到2035年,退出欧盟会为每个荷兰家庭每年省下9800欧元。

新视野大学英语第三版读写教程第二册Unit6 To work or not to work - That is the question翻译
U6 ATo work or not to work - That is the question打工还是不打工——这是个问题There are numerous and reliable ways by which one can measure the impact of employment on student achievement, and we used several in our research. We compared the grades of students who work a great deal with those who work in limited amounts or not at all. We also contrasted workers with non-workers, on different indicators of their commitment to education. Additionally, we followed students over time as they increased or decreased their work hours, and we assessed how different patterns of employment altered school performance and engagement.要衡量工作经历对学生成就的影响有许多可靠的方法。
在我们的研究中,我们采用了几种方法。
我们比较了打很多工的学生和打工时间有限或者根本不打工的学生的学习成绩。
我们也对比了打工学生和不打工学生在学习投入程度方面的不同指征。
另外,我们长期跟踪学生,了解他们在打工时间增加或减少时的表现。
而且,我们还评估了不同的打工模式如何改变学习成绩和学习参与度。
We have simplified and classified the data and the results are clear: The stakes are high. A heavy commitment to a part-time job during the academic year, say, working 20 hours per week or more, undermines and significantly interferes with school achievement and commitment. Overall, our study offers proof that students who worked more than 20 hours weekly were not comparable to their classmates. They earned lower grades, spent less time on homework, cut class more often, and cheated more frequently. And they reported lower levels of commitment to school and more modest educational aspirations.我们把数据加以简化和归类,得出的结论很明确:学生打工付出的代价很大。

许国璋英语第二册第六课课文、对话、练习、答案
许国璋英语第二册《第六课》(一)课文:1)课文原文:LIFE AT GATESHEAD HALLIt was a cold winter day. The wind had brought dark clouds and heavy rain, so it was impossible to take a walk. Eliza, john and Georgiana were gathered round theirmother in the sitting-room. She lay on a sofa by the fireside, looking perfectly happywith her darlings about her. But she told me not to come near them because I was nota good child.I went to a small room next to the drawing-room. Taking a book from a bookcase, Iclimbed up into the window-seat. Here I sat behind the curtains and started reading. Iwas quite happy until I heard the voice of John Reed.“ Where is she?” he said, calling to his sisters, “ Eliza!Georgiana! Jane is not here.”I was glad that I had drawn the curtains, and I prayed that I should not bediscovered. But Eliza was quicker than John. She said at once: “She is in thewindow-seat of course.”I came out immediately. “ What do you want?” I asked.“Say ‘ What do you want, Master Reed’,” was his reply.” I want you to come here,”he added. And he sat down in an armchair.John Reed was a school-boy of fourteen: four years older than I, for I was only ten.He was big and stout for his age, with a large face and an unhealthy skin. John had notmuch love for his mother and sisters, but he really hated me. As I came up to his chair,he spent about three minutes in putting out his tongue at me. Then he hit me suddenlyand hard.“ What were you doing behind the curtains?”“ I was reading.”“ Show me the book.”First he put out his tongue at Jane and hit her hard. A little while later, he knockedher over with a book and grasped her hair and shoulder.I returned to the window and brought the book. “ You have no business to read our books,” John Reed continued. “ You are a dependent, Mama says. Your father left you no money. You ought to beg, and not live with a gentleman’s children. Go and stand by the door.”I did so. I turned round and saw that he was going to throw the book at me; I tried to avoid it, but it was too late. I was knocked over and fell against the door, striking my head and cutting it badly. The pain was very sharp.“Wicked, cruel boy!”I said. “You are like a murderer –you are like a slave-driver!”“ What!” he cried. “ What did you say to me? Did you hear her, Eliza and Georgiana? I’ll tell Mama. But first –“He ran at me and grasped my hair and my shoulder. But I was desperate now. I don’t know what I did with my hands, but I heard him cry for help.Mrs. Reed came. “ Take her away to the red room and lock her in,” she said. Four hands then quickly carried me upstairs.“For shame!” cried the maid. “ To strike a gentleman, your young master!”“ Master? How is he my master? Am I a servant?”“ you ought to know, miss,” said the nurse, “ that you owe much to Mrs. Reed. She keeps you. If she turns you away, you will have to go to the poor-house.”These words were not new to me; so I did not answer.( Adapted from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte)2)课文译文:盖茨海德庄园生活那是一个寒冷的冬日。

中国科学院大学经济与管理学院金融专硕考研经验之各科学法介绍
考研经验之各科学习方法介绍一、前言2019年,对于考研党而言,或许注定就不太一样。
这一年,史上首屈的两百万考研大军一齐挤进考场。
同时,学术不端、入学腐败、师德败坏现象频发,教育部出重拳整顿纲纪。
初试、复试、调剂的战场上都变幻不测、鸡飞狗跳、风卷尘嚣。
而这一年,层层渡险、九死一生,二战的我终侥幸上岸,以初试第四398分,复试第四88分,综合成绩第四84分的成绩,被中国科学院大学经济与管理学院金融硕士(金融工程方向)拟录取。
拟录取通知于2019年3月28日上午在官网发布。
至此,其为我2017年2月15日开始至2019年3月28日结束耗时771天的两年研途划上了完整的句号。
两年的备考中做了一些思考。
同时,也得到了亲人、朋友、同学、老师、学长学姐的诸多帮助和指导。
因此,为了回馈许多许多人的帮助,也为了对所获进行一个回顾,我决定把考研经验写下来分享。
也以此激励自己不断努力前进。
需要特别指出的是,两年的备考经验告诉我,网络上的经验贴往往质量参差、鱼龙混杂。
在过程中,我有浏览关注的经验帖应有几十上百篇之多,其中涉及路数方法五花八门、琳琅满目。
但真正有所裨益的,大概不过两位数。
大量帖子或内容重复、理解表面、泛泛而谈、食之无味,或剑走偏锋、观点偏激、投机取巧、哗众取宠。
只有极少数的经验帖完整负责而精致简练,使我在备考的基础阶段、强化阶段、冲刺阶段均能常读常新,与实践经验相互印证下收获不少。
为了获得高质量的产出,我将尽量客观详实地进行介绍,依托事实,在基础上进行观点输出。
当然,不敢托大,主要还是以叙述自己的经历为主,目的是和大家探讨,经验为大家所借鉴。

第2篇-法律类(选自《华盛顿邮报》2012年7月)——P120Attorney General Eric H.Holder Jr.on Tuesday vowed to be“aggressive”in challenging voting laws that restrict minority rights,using a speech in Texas to make his case on the same day a federal court was considering the legality of the state’s new voter ID legislation.“Let me be clear:We will not allow political pretexts to disenfranchise American citizens of their most precious rights,”Holder said in the speech to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.“I can assure you that the Justice Department’s efforts to uphold and enforce voting rights will remain aggressive.”Holder received a standing ovation as the Houston crowd chanted“Stand your ground!”and“Holder,Holder!”But the attorney general’s remarks drew sharp criticism from Republican lawmakers,who characterized the speech as a political tactic aimed at bolstering President Obama’s reelection prospects.“It’s very telling that instead of making legal arguments in front of the court,the attorney general is making political speeches more than a thousand miles way,”said Lucy Nashed,a spokeswoman for Texas Gov.Rick Perry(R).The controversy over voting rights is playing out against the backdrop of a growing national debate over the issue.A three-judge panel of the U.S.District Court in Washington is hearing arguments this week on the Texas’s voter ID law,which requires voters to show a photo ID before being allowed to cast their ballots.The Justice Department in March blocked the Texas law,which was signed by Perry in May2011,contending that it would violate the1965Voting Rights Act and disproportionately harm Hispanic voters.“Many of those without IDs would have to travel great distances to get them andbattleground state of Pennsylvania.Supporters of the measures—seven of which were signed by Republican governors and one by an independent—say they are needed to combat voter fraud.But critics say the new statutes could hurt turnout among minority voters and others,many of whom helped elect Obama in2008.In his speech,Holder told the NAACP that the arc of American history has always moved toward expanding the electorate and that“we will simply not allow this era to be the beginning of the reversal of that historic progress.”The NAACP has launched a campaign against the voter ID laws,and its president,insult to the rule of law.”On Tuesday,the second day of the federal trial,the judges heard arguments about the impetus behind the Texas law and how many voters might be disenfranchised by the ID requirement.Justice Department attorney Elizabeth Westfall has said that as many as1.4million voters could be affected,but a University of Texas statistician testified that the number of voters without an ID was closer to about168,000.The arguments are expected to continue through this week and are being heard by Rosemary Collyer,appointed in2002by President George W.Bush;David Tatel, appointed by President Bill Clinton in1994;and Robert Wilkins,appointed in2010by Obama.【词语积累】ID身份证件pretext n.假象disenfranchise vt.剥夺(某人)的权利(尤指选举权)ovation n.热烈欢迎bolster vt.提高panel n.合议庭contend vt.主张disenfranchise vt.剥夺……的公民权pre-clearance预检turnout n.出席者the arc of……的弧线electorate n.选区Selma and Montgomery times塞尔玛蒙哥马利时期代指1965年美国民权运动be infringing on侵犯ineligible adj.不符合资格的felon n.重罪犯undemocratic adj.专横的impetus n.动力【长难句解析】【参考译文】本周四,美国司法部长埃里克·霍尔德在得克萨斯州演讲中宣称,对于限制少数民族权利的选举法,他要采取“激进的”措施来挑战这部法律,希望能在当天受到联邦法院受理,考虑将美国新选举人身份合法化。

Unit 6 The Diary of the Unknown SoldierText comprehensionI. B.II. 1.T; 2. F; 3. F; 4. T; 5. F.III.1. because he felt that all of them had been somewhat fooled. They were totally unprepared for the cruelty of the war and the immensity of its killing power. “They all came here with an air of conf idence and eagerness, ready to win,”but what awaited them was “a one-way ticket to death.”2. He wrote his first entry when his regiment was in London to protect the city from Nazi’s air raids; his second one when his group of soldiers had journeyed to a small European town untouched by warfare; and the last one when their secret location was discovered by Nazi troops and he faced approaching death.3. It was his wish to come home alive to see his family. This is mentioned in all the three entries: “I must go on living this nightmare, if not for myself or my country, then for my family back home. I want my children to have a father.”“…wondering yet again if I would ever see my family.9I would give anything to see them, even if it was for five minutes!”“I wish, withall my soul, that I could be home now… I am thinking of my daughters’faces… I will always remember their faces…”4. He would tell them that those soldiers died bravely in an effort to save their countries from turmoil and make the children feel that their fathers made a difference.5. He felt disgusted at the cruelty of the war, questioned the judgment of human beings who started the war and felt enraged at killing innocent lives and destroying whole countries.IV.1. Although my stories about their fathers’ death might not relieve their sadness, they will enable the children to see the extraordinary significance of their fathers’ contribution.2. I suddenly recalled a saying I once heard that made me very painful, “We can’t afford to fight even one war.”Structural analysis of the textDiary writing follows the flow of the writer’s thoughts. It is usually “structured” by the author’s free associations.1. What do the three entries of the diary have in common?Two thematic topics in common, the horrible scenes of the war and thewriter’s strong love for, and emotional attachment to his family.2. How are the particular situations related to the common thematic topics?Firstly, the writer describes his thought and fear under German air raids, which led him to speculate about the difficulties and problems of his family.Secondly, the writer describes his reflections on the justification of wars. The sight of a teenage girl and the grim condition in a smallEuropean town made him recall his dear daughters and family.Thirdly, it was dated on Christmas Eve and about the approaching death.The writer’s only wish was that someone could return the diary to hisfamily.Section Four Consolidation ActivitiesPart One.

Unit 6Section APre-reading ActivitiesFirst ListeningPlease listen to a short passage carefully and prepare to answer some questions.Second ListeningListen to the tape again. Then answer the following questions with your own experiences.1) What are some of the ways names can make a difference?2) In what way can teachers be guilty of name prejudice?3) What does the writer suggest you do if your name does not suit you?As His Name Is, So Is He!For her first twenty-four years, she'd been known as Debbie —a name that didn't suit her good looks and elegant manner. "My name has always made me think I should be a cook," she complained. "I just don't feel like a Debbie."One day, while filling out an application form for a publishing job, the young woman impulsively substituted her middle name, Lynne, for her first name Debbie. "That was the smartest thing I ever did," she says now. "As soon as I stopped calling myself Debbie, I felt more comfortable with myself... and other people started to take me more seriously." Two years after her successful job interview, the former waitress is now a successful magazine editor. Friends and associates call her Lynne. Naturally, the name change didn't cause Debbie/Lynne's professional achievement — but it surely helped if only by adding a bit ofself-confidence to her talents. Social scientists say that what you're called can affect your life. Throughout history, names have not merely identified people but also described them. " … As his name is, so is he..." says the Bible, and Webster's Dictionary includes the following definition of name: "a word or words expressing some quality considered characteristic or descriptive of a person or a thing, often expressing approval or disapproval." Note well "approval or disapproval". For better or worse, qualities such as friendliness or reserve, plainness or charm may be suggested by your name and conveyed to other people before they even meet you.Names become attached to specific images, as anyone who's been called "a plain Jane" or "just an average Joe" can show. The latter name particularlybothers me since my name is Joe, which some think makes me more qualified to be a baseball player than, say, an art critic. Yet, despite this disadvantage, I did manage to become an art critic for a time. Even so, one prominent magazine consistently refused to print "Joe" in my by-line, using my first initials, J.S., instead. I suspect that if I were a more refined Arthur or Adrian, the name would have appeared complete.Of course, names with a positive sense can work for you, even encourage new acquaintances. A recent survey showed that American men thought Susan to be the most attractive female name, while women believed Richard and David were the most attractive for men. One woman I know turned down a blind date with a man named Harry because "he sounded dull". Several evenings later, she came up to me at a party, pressing for an introduction to a very impressive man; they'd been exchanging glances all evening. "Oh," I said. "You mean Harry." She was ill at ease.Though most of us would like to think ourselves free from such prejudiced notions, we're all guilty of name stereotyping to some extent. Confess: Wouldn't you be surprised to meet a carpenter named Nigel? A physicist called Bertha? A Pope Mel? Often, we project name-based stereotypes on people, as one woman friend discovered while taking charge of a nursery - school's group of four-year olds. "There I was, trying to get a little active boy named Julian to sit quietly and read a book — and pushing a thoughtful creature named Rory to play ball. I had their personalities confused because of their names!"Apparently, such prejudices can affect classroom achievement as well. In a study conducted by Herbert Harari of San Diego State University, and John McDavid of Georgia State University, teachers gave consistently lower grades on essays apparently written by boys named Elmer and Hubert than they awarded to the same papers when the writer's names were given as Michael and David. However, teacher prejudice isn't the only source of classroom difference. Dr. Thomas V. Busse and Louisa Seraydarian of Temple University found those girls with names such as Linda, Diane, Barbara, Carol, and Cindy performed better on objectively graded IQ and achievement tests than did girls with less appealing names. (A companion study showed girls' popularity with their peers was also related to the popularity of their names — although the connection was less clear for boys.)Though your parents probably meant your name to last a lifetime, remember that when they picked it they'd hardly met you, and the hopes and dreams they valued when they chose it may not match yours. If your name no longer seems to fit you, don't despair; you aren't stuck with the label. Movie stars regularly change their names, and with some determination, you can, too.Words: 752NEW WORDSeleganta. tasteful in appearance or manner 优雅的,文雅的,精致的applicationn. 1.

Without exactly taking sides for or against that criticism, I want to describe a sociological exercise that might seem to validate it — except that, for me and a classmate (and maybe for some who read this account), the experience made a common claim come alive.During spring break from a local college, my friend and I went downtown to shop. First, however, we made ourselves virtually unrecognizable to our friends and even to our families. We wore clothing slightly inappropriate for the weather, clean but not ironed, clearly not the styles worn by most visitors to the area. We carried plastic bags of nameless possessions. Both of us were slightly untidy. My friend wore a faded cotton shirt over a T-shirt and a wrinkled skirt over sweat pants.I wore a wool hat that concealed my hair and an unfashionable coat and glasses with sun shades that clipped on.The aim was to look like street people and to observe what difference that made in the way other people responded to us — whether the appearance of poverty would invite prejudice on us. We were also prepared to act out some mildly unusual behavior that might speak of some emotional problems, without appearing seriously disturbed or dangerous. As it turned out, there was no need for dramatics; people turned us off or tuned us out on the basis of appearance alone.Our first stop (after parking our cars near the railroad tracks) was in the bargain store of a local charity, where we politely asked access to a bathroom and were refused. Next we entered the lobby of a large hotel, where we asked for a coffee shop and a bathroom. The door man said, "You must go to the twentieth floor." We weren't up to trying our act at an exclusive restaurant, so we wandered around the first floor and left. From there we went to a second-hand shop, where we more or less blended with the customers, and then on to the upper-scale stores and coffee shops during the lunch hour.It was prejudice time. Some of the children we encountered stared, pointed, and laughed; adults gave us long, doubting looks. Clerks in stores followed our track to watch our every move. In a lunchroom a second assistant hurried to the side of the cashier, where they took my $2 check without asking for ID; it seemed worth that price to have us out the door. At one doorway a clerk physically blocked the entrance apparently to discourage our entry.We had money to cover small purchases, and, apart from wearing down-scale clothing, we did nothing in any of these settings to draw attention to ourselves; we merely shopped quietly in our accustomed manner. At one establishment we did blow our cover when we ordered French rolls with two special coffees; that may have been too far out of character for "bagladies". Elsewhere we encountered ribbing, imitating, lack of trust, and rude stares.So what did we learn? Mostly what we expected, what everybody knows: people judge by appearances. Just looking poor brings with it prejudice, accompanied by removal of much of the social grace most of us take for granted. Lacking the culturally acceptable symbols of belonging in this setting, we became, to a degree, objects, with less inherent dignity as persons.There was, however, one surprise — more accurately, a shock. It became clear most strongly at the shop I mentioned earlier, the one where a clerk conspicuously positioned herself in the entrance on seeing us. I had just noticed the place and had turned to my companion, saying, "I've never seen this store. Let's go in." She looked at me with alarm: "You're not really going there, are you?"I knew what she meant and shared her feeling. The place felt out of bounds for us. In a very few hours, we found ourselves accepting and internalizing the superficial and prejudiced judgments of ourselves that prevailed among the people we met; we catalogued ourselves. Undoubtedly, it's a good lesson to learn, maybe especially for sociologists.Words: 703NEW WORDS▲sociologyn.

The thinner and higher the heel, the greater the risk of foot and back problems. Standing in high heels inevitably hurts after an hour on foot. This results in aches and pains.It gets worse. The popularity of tennis shoes has led women's feet literally to get bigger — especially wider — but the sizing of shoes hasn't changed. Most women wear shoes that fit poorly, usually ones that are too small, which adds pain to high-heel hell(痛苦).So why do we do it? The traditional criticism is that women are slaves to male ideas. Fashion culture controlled by models leads us to offer our toes and our check books to satisfy some men's idea of sexy(性感的)shoes. Much of the advertising of this year's return to heels as high as6 inches focuses on the shoes and the short skirts that go with them asa statement by women of their sexiness and female charm. Apparently,wearing high heels pushes your breasts(胸脯)out by changing your center of gravity(重心). In Florence and Milan, men were reportedly salivating (垂涎).In Bloomingdale's shoe department, all the salivating was done by women, myself included. Strictly as research, of course, I tried on shoes and observed other women doing the same. Almost everyone is trying on the new higher heels. We strut(高视阔步)around. We throw our heads a little, and laugh.Feet look smaller in high heels. Most women in America have big feet. Believe it or not, 91/2 is the most popular size. It isn't just you. And it isn't just feet. High heels make a woman's leg look longer, and everyone looks better with longer legs. There is a story that holds that high heels were first brought to America by a famous New Orleans madam who discovered that she could charge twice as much when a woman wore high heels.In fact, none of the women I talked to were buying shoes to please the men in their lives. "My husband won't even notice the shoes," a woman told me. More than one said husbands or boyfriends wouldn't like her because they'd make her too tall. Most men seem to prefer keeping the height advantage to heels, pushed-out(挺出)breasts notwithstanding(尽管). The higher the heels get, the more men who face the tradeoff(权衡). No one pretends high heels are as comfortable as flats. It's what they do to your head, not your feet. That's what makes women walk differently and look differently in high heels.I almost succumbed, but they are too costly, and how often can I wear them? Not sensible. Not practical. Definitely not right for work and kids. But the next day in Leohmann's, on sale yet, I find a pair that are just as good. Now I just have to get invited somewhere in my high heels. Words: 598。

Text6(P94)Time for a Modern Energy SystemIn2007,the Supreme Court defined greenhouse gasses as air pollutants under the 1970Clean Air Act and required the Environmental Protection Agency to develop rules to reduce the generation of these pollutants.This week,President Barack Obama issued the regulations for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from America's power plants.The regulations would require a32percent cut in powerplant carbon dioxide emissions by 2030from2005levels.States are required to submit plans on how they would achieve reductions and begin implementation of these plans in2018.If a state refuses to submit a plan,EPA will save them the trouble and submit one for them.Before the Obama administration Clean Power Plan was even released,the“job killing”regulation rhetoric was flying and the campaign against the rule was well underway.This is unfortunate because,the rule could well be a way for states to push their utilities to upgrade their energy efficiency programs and make it possible for their electrical grid to accommodate decentralized generation of renewable energy.Greater energy efficiency and greater use of renewable energy could lower the energy bills paid by America's households.The transition to a renewable energy economy is necessary to reduce the impact of climate change,but it is also needed to reduce the environmental and economic impact of massive increases in fossil fuel extraction from the earth.With over2billion people in the rapidly growing economies of India and China bidding on the same fossil fuels that we need here in America,the price of those fuels can only go up in the long run.In contrast,renewable energy uses the sun as its basic fuel.That fuel is free and the cost of the technology that transforms it to energy and stores it for our use has been coming down rapidly.Just as the price of computer memory has come down dramatically over the past several decades,so too will the cost of renewable energy technology as its use increases and its technology advances.Battery technology is developing rapidly and nanotechnology may soon reduce the size and price of solar cells.We may not know the specific shape that new energy technology will take,but we do know that regulatory requirements will encourage businesses to invest in the development and use of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.Even before the rules come into effect,smart businesses are anticipating the changes and making investment decisions based on the new rules.When regulations are carefully developed and intelligently enforced they can create jobs and foster new businesses.For example,automobiles are safer,more efficient and less polluting today than they were before they were regulated;and someone has to be hired to make those seatbelts and airbags.Our energy system is badly outdated.It is vulnerable to disruption and needs greater resiliency.Too much of the power we generate is lost during transmission.A modern energy system could reduce energy costs while mitigating climate change. However,while the Clean Power Plan will create the demand for new energy technologies,the federal government would be wise to invest in the basic and applied science of renewable energy to ensure that the supply of new technology is adequate to meet the demand.Our scientific community is eager to help.1.Paragraph1shows that EPA____A.has been manipulated by the Supreme CourtB.is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissionsC.is supervising the implementation of the state-planD.has the authority to enact the plan for the state2.In the author's opinion,the campaign will______A.undermine the current employment rateB.violate the Obama administrationC.hinder the promotion of energy facilityD.cut the America's households energy cost3.It can be inferred from the3rd and4th paragraph that______puter memory is the catalyst for the rise of renewable energyB.pricing is a crucial impetus for the boost of renewable energyC.nanotechnology is the core in the development of renewable energyD.climate degradation has been eased by the use of clean energy4.Automobile is cited as an example of______A.responding prophetically to the new regulationsB.saving the power we generate during transmissionC.taking advantage of the new rulesD.improving the safety standard to suit the new rules5.The author suggest in the last paragraph that_____A.scientific community is independent from the federal governmentB.Clean Power Plan impedes the progression of new energy technologyC.federal government is eager to reduce the energy expenditureD.federal government should concentrate on the basic and applied science。
